[ scene_break ] faison : how dare you ? what 's the meaning of this masquerade ? obrecht : does it really require explanation ? faison : yes , it does ! disguising yourself as anna devane , kissing me -- disgusting ! you do n't even come close to her ! obrecht : your surprise is laughable , considering all i did was take a page from your book . you committed the same offense against that bony shrew with your overwrought masquerade as duke lavery ! [ scene_break ] duke : anna would never allow her lips anywhere close to faison . i mean , what you 're suggesting -- anna kissing faison -- that 's ridiculous . first of all , she loathes the man , and , secondly , she 's in -- olivia : she 's in switzerland . she 's in switzerland with robert , right ? and -- and faison is safely locked away behind bars ? duke : right . olivia : so , what 's that look ? duke : well , this is faison we 're talking about , and , from personal experience , i know with him , anything is possible .

[ scene_break ] obrecht : why do you do this to me , cesar ... the mother of your child ? faison : oh , go away . you deserve to suffer -- do you realize that ? -- after what you put me through ! when i heard anna was going to come and see me , you raised my hopes , and then you come in , and then you dashed them in the most cruel way possible ! if this is payback , fine ! fine ! you made your point ! you got your little revenge ! now get out . get out . get out ! obrecht : not so fast . faison : [ sighs ] obrecht : yearning for the touch of your lips is not the only reason for my getting in here . i had something to tell you . faison : why ? why ? ! obrecht : i wanted to tell you about your grandchild . [ scene_break ] ben : [ crying ] jerry : yes , that 's right , little one . i 'm not going anywhere , 'cause i know how to make sure robin 's poison wo n't kill me . and you know how ? by trying it on someone else first . robin : i 'll do it . i 'll take it , and then i 'm going home .

what would you have done if i had n't changed the paternity test results ? what would you have done then ? lexie : i knew there was n't a chance in hell of that , sami . there 's no way you would have come forward . i knew you would never put brandon 's needs ahead of your own . i could n't let him sacrifice himself without at least knowing the truth , seeing it just once . what he does with it is up to him . at least now he knows you for who you really are . sami : well , i love brandon too much to lose him now . lexie : oh , please . you have a very strange definition of love . sami : yeah , it 's simple . i ca n't live without him . lexie : so you were willing to do whatever it took , huh ?

lexie : sami , you have played us all at one time or another . well , now you know what it feels like to be lied to , betrayed . sami : you 're no better . lexie : i did n't do any of this for my own personal gain . i did it for brandon . sami : well , you keep telling yourself that . roman : sami , do n't you run away from this . lexie 's talking truth . you need to hear it . sami : you are going to just std d there and let her trash me ? roman : if you had done the proper thing , nobody would have a right to trash you . lexie : look -- you could n't have a better father . and how did you repay him ? by duping him into thinking that he was belle 's father , and then years later , you pull the same stunt with lucas , only this time with a twist . you said that poor austin was will 's father . sami : poor austin ? he left me crying at the altar . i mean , he -- he totally humiliated me . lexie : well , thank god he found out the truth about you before the ceremony . i was hoping to save brandon the same fate , but you -- you managed to get him to the justice of the peace . well , not to worry , brandon . it can be annulled . sami : where do you get off acting like some sort of born - again saint ?

sami : i do n't give up that easy . roman : sami , where do you think you 're going now ? ñ [ w ? wherever the story ... let 's begin with late breaking news ... you 'll see it here . this case of mad cow is a mystery . every step , every turn . this is an industry still reeling from the story today . from beginning to end , `` global national `` with kevin newman . marlena : i just called tony . john : why ? marlena : i 'm going to the mansion tomorrow to , uh , to talk to him . john : why ? what are you trying to do ? marlena : get rid of him in my own way . john : so why do n't you just let me handle that ?

do you hear me ? and it kills me to say this to you , sami , but i am so damn ashamed of you . sami : [ sobbing loudly ] kate : you deserved that . lucas : having fun yet ? i i am . sami : oh . i 'm sure you are , lucas . this is all your fault . lucas : yeah . you bet it is .

did you think that i knew you were my son and i abandoned you ? brandon : you know , i was n't thinking . that can get me into trouble . abe : you mean you and lexie . well , i thought it might take us a little while to get there , but ... we might as well face it head - on . you being with my wife . i 'm having a lot of difficulty with that . brandon : look , abe , it was n't about you . abe : but you knew . you knew she was your father 's wife . brandon : look , can we sit down , talk about this ? brandon : look , i 'm not saying that i never thought about it -- revenge ... justice ... payback for all the bad things that have been done to me . abe : so it was calculated . brandon : lexie thought that it was over betwn you two -- permanently . samantha had just played me for a fool again . lexie was there . we were there for each other . it never should have happened . it never did again . abe : i still -- i still want to kill you . do you get that ? brandon : yes . abe : well ... you probably want to kill me , too . brandon ... you think we can forgive each other ? brandon : i do n't know . i mean , i do n't know about bonding with you now . it 's a little too easy , do n't you think ?

abe : well , i know who you are . you 're theodore brandon carver 's big brother . brandon : what did you say ? abe : lexie and i gave the baby your name . philip : this guy ? he 's my ride back to the base . belle : okay , well , if you know him , how come he 's sending e - ilils instead of just coming over ?

[ laughs ] reed : [ sniffs ] what is that ? it 's not just that new - car smell . billy : that 's your first car smell . reed : oh , my god . look at these controls ! i mean , it 's sick ! it 's like a space capsule ! i could live in here . never in my wildest dreams could i ever imagine grandpa doing something like this . he must be the coolest grandfather ever . billy : he does know how to pull off a surprise , but i have to admit , this is one of the nicest ones i 've ever witnessed . kendall : for my 15th birthday , my grandparents gave me plaque - disclosing tablets and a wiggles cd . zoey : for real ? [ laughter ] billy : okay , reed , this is a lot of car , all right ? this is a powerful machine for a new driver , so you 're gon na have to be extra careful . you got to keep the music at a level where you can hear what 's going on around you . zoey : like me asking to stop for an ice - blended , non - fat , sugar - free triple- shot latte . [ laughter ] reed : no , i promise to be annoyingly cautious . whatever it takes to keep mom 's mind at ease . even if that means taking defensive driving courses or submitting to a curfew and stopping at every yellow light ... billy : those are all good ideas , yeah . reed : guys , do you realize five days a week i 'm gon na be taking this car to school ? [ cheering and laughter ] reed : whoo ! zoey : yes ! whoo ! victoria : where does dad get off buying reed a brand - new car ? even if he was a saint for the last 20 years , i 'd still want to drive over his foot with it . nikki : i 'm sure he got an extra thrill out of outsmarting me because i 'm the one who banned him from this party . so of course he finds a loophole . victoria : and it 's a two - fer ! he locks in reed worshipping him while undermining me at the same time . nikki : this is typical victor newman behavior . manipulative ... it 's just disrespectful . ugh ! victoria : now i have to clean up this mess . but how am i gon na do it , mom ? if i take away the car , i trash all of the progress that i 've made with reed . he 's gon na resent me even more and form some unbreakable bond with his super- cool grandpa . nikki : yeah , but if you let him keep it , then you 're compromising your values and pretty much inviting more power plays from victor to show you who 's really in charge . victoria : [ sighs ] no matter what i do , i 'm gon na lose . and dad knows it . abby : you 've piqued my curiosity . victor : oh , i have ? abby : yes , you want me to start making a bunch of wild guesses ? [ laughs ] victor : here we go , my love . abby : thank you . victor : well , let me tell you . your work at newman enterprises has , uh , impressed me . it has shown that you , more than my other children or grandchildren have a passion , you have a knack for business . you have a good instinct for it . you have far exceeded my expectations . you 're an asset to the company . abby : i so appreciate you saying that . you have no idea . but i also think that i inherited another one of your qualities -- ambition . and i am not even close to where i want to be at newman . victor : i like to hear that . very important to set goals . how would you like to be in a position where you are closer to those goals ? ashley : hi . i hope this table 's okay . it 's not too cramped ? benjamin : how am i supposed to react ? ashley : i do n't know , maybe ask for another table ? benjamin : we 'll discuss it with the lawyers . thanks for the tip - off . ciao . ashley : [ laughs ] i , uh , thought you were talking to me , but you were talking to somebody else . benjamin : sorry , ashley .

[ cell phone vibrates ] benjamin : [ sighs ] sorry , i -- i just need to do a quick text reply . done . what were we discussing ? ashley : um ... something about us being miles apart . ravi : it 's so good to see you guys ! chad : good to see you ! harper : oh , my gosh , look at that hot suit ! what , did you move to wisconsin and become a style icon , rav ? chad : while i schlep around the fashion capital of america dressed like this . ravi : well , thank you . shall we sit ? harper : yeah . chad : definitely . harper : ooh ! chad : this place is nice ! ravi : fancy enough for you ? chad : oh , yeah , i had to wear a vest this time .

[ door closes ] nikki : what 's she thanking you for ? victor : for a new position at newman enterprises . nikki : of course . a way to assure her loyalty since you have alienated your other children , apparently seriously enough for nicholas to do that . victor : i simply asked him to give me his best shot . nikki : i doubt that one punch in the face can begin to make up for what you 've done . after what you pulled tonight , i feel like hitting you myself . victor : you talking about reed 's party , or what ? nikki : you used that boy 's birthday to stab victoria in the back . just admit it . victor : i did no such thing . nikki : oh , go to hell , you lying son of a bitch . ravi : so good to see you guys . harper : i think she likes you . ravi : see you guys later ! [ clears throat ] ashley : your friends are great , especially after that aborted dinner i fled . ravi : yeah . hey , if you do n't mind me asking , what happened ? ashley : well , benjamin was more interested in taking and texting calls than he was in me . i was kind of an afterthought . ravi : benjamin is a rich idiot . ashley : and i was an idiot for blowing you off . ravi : do n't worry about it . ashley : it was totally stupid for a lot of reasons , but you know what , the worst was i never got to eat . i would kill for one of those dumplings . ravi : they 're open until 4 : 00 . ashley : oh ! i 'm so tempted . tomorrow , though , is jam - packed and it 's gon na be a really early one . i think it 's better if i just go to my room and order some room service , and i 'll see you tomorrow . ravi : sounds good . see you in the morning . ashley : okay . by the way , thanks again . you were great today . sweet dreams . ravi : you , too . victor : okay , now that you 've gotten rid of all of your venom , you better listen . you told me i was n't welcome at my grandson 's birthday party . you think i want him to believe that i forgot his birthday ? nikki : it was obvious what you were doing . victoria : i ordered that car weeks ago ! nikki : oh , i do n't believe that for a minute ! victor : i do n't give a damn whether you believe it or not ! i bought the same kind of car for noah ! what the hell 's wrong with it ? nikki : what 's wrong with it , this had nothing to do with reed ! you were sending a message to victoria and basically saying , `` i will not be ignored , watch me toy with you ! `` victor : it 's a damn car ! nikki : no ! it was retaliation . apparently , she 's the enemy now , even though you 're the one who broke her heart with your deceit . you just make me sick ! billy : will you look at me , please ? i 'm trying to help . victoria : i explained my position as clearly as i can . end of story . billy : all right , well , maybe if you cool down a little bit , you 'll reconsider . my opinion , i think reed 's ready for this . i think he should keep it . victoria : okay , well , noted . but you 're not his father , so you do n't get a vote . and if you want to my father 's side on this , that 's up to you . billy : i just do n't think you should punish reed because you 're mad at your father . you know , maybe just once , victor 's trying to do something nice . victoria : yeah , he 's trying to buy reed 's loyalty . billy : well , that 's what he does , right ? even with his family members . including you . victoria : how dare you say that to me ! billy : it 's not a dig ! i 'm just saying . that 's victor 's mantra , right ? money buys happiness . you can tell by reed 's face , victor got a bargain . victoria : well , i 'm glad that you think this is so funny , because i 'm not laughing ! my father put me in an awful position , just like he planned ! billy : you think he did this to spite you ? why do you think that ? jordan : meet you at the limo , lily ! thanks again , juliet ! later , cane . cane : see ya , man . lily : i 'm getting excited ! juliet : save some of that excitement for philly ! lily : i will . juliet : have a great trip . lily : thank you . i 'll send you constant updates . juliet : and i will text you way too often . lily : [ laughs ] perfect . cane : all right , baby . you be safe , all right ? and you have fun . but do n't have too much fun . lily : okay , i wo n't do anything you would n't do .

[ laughs ] he gets very elitist at these things . ravi : well , in this case , he 'd be right . you know , they 're all style , no substance . they 're marketing themselves as a `` first - class makeup at coach prices , `` but their products are all filled with cheap oil minerals and parabens . toxic , if you ask me . ashley : so , not only are you an expert in computers and operas , but also cosmetic formulations ? ravi : well , i 'm not an expert like you . i started researching jabot 's products months ago . i figured i 'm working for a cosmetics business , i should learn as much as i can . ashley : so how did we rate , professor ? ravi : top of the marketplace . first - grade organic ingredients , cruelty - free , therapeutic , as well as beautifying . ashley : as if i needed yet another reason to be so happy that you 're on our team , and i 'm so happy that i brought you to new york , do you know that ? ravi : thank you . there is n't anywhere else i 'd rather be . you know , um , i actually got a text earlier from some of my i.t . guys at jabot . turns out , our presentation is already trending on some industry sites . ashley : okay . we 're officially celebrating . should we order some drinks and look at some menus ? ravi : you know , i think i have a better idea . you can be the judge . ashley : you want to go to chinatown ? ravi : yeah , i got the hookup to the best szechuan in the city . not exactly top of the tower , though . ashley : so , what does that mean ? bottom of the basement ? ravi : yeah , but the dumplings are legendary ! [ moans ] ashley : that kind of wrecks my plan , though . i was gon na be in a deep sleep in an hour - and - a - half . but obviously you know that my passion for dumplings runs deeper . ravi : [ chuckles ] ashley : let 's go . ravi : let 's do it . [ clears throat ] you know , we can still get back early . no offense to your car service , but if we take the subway , we can be downtown in 15 minutes . ashley : oh , even in these ? ravi : maybe 20 . ashley : yeah . benjamin : ashley abbott . ashley : benjamin hochman ! wow ! how long has it been ? benjamin : too long . way too long . i would have come over and congratulated you after your presentation today , but you were mobbed , deservedly so . you were sensational . ashley : thank you . i did n't know you were gon na be here . glad you liked it . it was , um , a team effort . um , ravi , this is benjamin hochman . ravi : hochman industries . i 've seen you on a lot of the business shows . benjamin : [ chuckles ] ashley : and , benjamin , this is ravi shapur . he is jabot 's software engineer and the phenom behind our new apps and our fabulous a / v from today . benjamin : well done , ravi . ravi : thank you . benjamin : i would love to catch up . ashley : sounds like a great idea . benjamin : yeah , i ca n't wait to talk to you about this , maybe do some business ? after what i saw today , it 's very intriguing . ashley : okay , well , we should definitely talk . benjamin : yeah , over dinner , maybe tonight at the new restaurant here . i booked a table . if you 're not a guest of the hotel , you have to wait three months on the waiting list . ashley : oh , well , i ca n't wait three months , i 'm starving . benjamin : [ laughs ] great . so i 'm just gon na go change into something a little bit more casual . meet you there in 20 ? ashley : perfect . benjamin : all right . ashley : i 'm sorry . ravi : no , do n't be . he 's a power player . ca n't pass that up . ashley : it 's true . his company 's a real juggernaut . if we can arrange something with jabot , it could be incredible . ravi : yeah , i have a feeling he 's gon na want a more personal arrangement . ashley : he 's married . ravi : yeah , he was n't wearing a ring . ashley : well , that 's weird . ravi : he 's recently divorced . lauren told me when i was working on the fenmore 's app . ashley : oh , really ? i 'm kidding ! i 'm sure he can have his pick of all his ex- wife 's supermodel frenemies . ravi : and yet , he 's in new york , having dinner with you . he lit up like a broadway marquee just now . who can blame him ? ashley : that 's very sweet . and silly . um , i 'm gon na go get freshened up , and i 'll see you tomorrow , okay ? ravi : okay . ashley : hey , you know what , make sure that you get yourself some dinner , drinks -- get some broadway tickets , okay ? all on jabot . i 'll see you . ravi : okay . bye . [ sighs ] juliet : as brand ambassador , lily will be dropping celebratory pucks at three different games , one per city . she 'll introduce dare body spray to selected players , do key local media , and jordan will capture videos and stills of the entire thing . cane : oh , you 're going , too , huh ? lily : yeah , you thought all that was mine ? [ laughter ] jordan : juliet , thanks for getting me such a bomb deal . the hockey teams , they agreed to use my photos on their websites and social media . cane : that 's fantastic . yeah . yeah , looks like billy sure did maximize things for such a short trip , huh ? lily : uh , not really . this was actually your girl juliet all the way . juliet : well , billy made the hockey and approved everything but , yes , guilty . [ laughs ] reed : [ sniffs ] what is that ? it 's not just that new - car smell . billy : that 's your first car smell . reed : oh , my god . look at these controls ! i mean , it 's sick ! it 's like a space capsule ! i could live in here . never in my wildest dreams could i ever imagine grandpa doing something like this . he must be the coolest grandfather ever . billy : he does know how to pull off a surprise , but i have to admit , this is one of the nicest ones i 've ever witnessed . kendall : for my 15th birthday , my grandparents gave me plaque - disclosing tablets and a wiggles cd . zoey : for real ? [ laughter ] billy : okay , reed , this is a lot of car , all right ? this is a powerful machine for a new driver , so you 're gon na have to be extra careful . you got to keep the music at a level where you can hear what 's going on around you . zoey : like me asking to stop for an ice - blended , non - fat , sugar - free triple- shot latte . [ laughter ] reed : no , i promise to be annoyingly cautious . whatever it takes to keep mom 's mind at ease . even if that means taking defensive driving courses or submitting to a curfew and stopping at every yellow light ... billy : those are all good ideas , yeah . reed : guys , do you realize five days a week i 'm gon na be taking this car to school ? [ cheering and laughter ] reed : whoo ! zoey : yes ! whoo ! victoria : where does dad get off buying reed a brand - new car ? even if he was a saint for the last 20 years , i 'd still want to drive over his foot with it . nikki : i 'm sure he got an extra thrill out of outsmarting me because i 'm the one who banned him from this party . so of course he finds a loophole . victoria : and it 's a two - fer ! he locks in reed worshipping him while undermining me at the same time . nikki : this is typical victor newman behavior . manipulative ... it 's just disrespectful . ugh ! victoria : now i have to clean up this mess . but how am i gon na do it , mom ? if i take away the car , i trash all of the progress that i 've made with reed . he 's gon na resent me even more and form some unbreakable bond with his super- cool grandpa . nikki : yeah , but if you let him keep it , then you 're compromising your values and pretty much inviting more power plays from victor to show you who 's really in charge . victoria : [ sighs ] no matter what i do , i 'm gon na lose . and dad knows it . abby : you 've piqued my curiosity . victor : oh , i have ? abby : yes , you want me to start making a bunch of wild guesses ? [ laughs ] victor : here we go , my love . abby : thank you . victor : well , let me tell you . your work at newman enterprises has , uh , impressed me . it has shown that you , more than my other children or grandchildren have a passion , you have a knack for business . you have a good instinct for it . you have far exceeded my expectations . you 're an asset to the company . abby : i so appreciate you saying that . you have no idea . but i also think that i inherited another one of your qualities -- ambition . and i am not even close to where i want to be at newman . victor : i like to hear that . very important to set goals . how would you like to be in a position where you are closer to those goals ? ashley : hi . i hope this table 's okay . it 's not too cramped ? benjamin : how am i supposed to react ? ashley : i do n't know , maybe ask for another table ? benjamin : we 'll discuss it with the lawyers . thanks for the tip - off . ciao . ashley : [ laughs ] i , uh , thought you were talking to me , but you were talking to somebody else . benjamin : sorry , ashley . [ chuckles ] can i just say that you are the most beautiful woman in the beauty business ? ashley : aww . thank you . i 'm sure you say that to all the conference - goers . benjamin : only the most beautiful ones . let 's order some wine , shall we ? ashley : okay . benjamin : any preferences ? ashley : just so it does n't come in a box , i 'm fine . benjamin : uh , we 'll do the ' 91 riesling , please . [ chuckles ] ashley : okay , now , i need to know , how did you end up in genoa city not too long ago and you just somehow forgot to call me , hmm ? benjamin : [ sighs ] i do regret that . i came to make a deal with lauren fenmore and did n't . ashley : i know , i heard that . what went wrong ? benjamin : i truly had an odd experience at the co - ed sauna in the gc athletic club . [ laughs ] ashley : oh , please go on . i think . benjamin : uh , this truly feisty middle - aged socialite type just went on a rant about fenmore 's , and , well , i got kind of spooked and invested elsewhere . ashley : wow . a co - ed sauna . benjamin : mm - hmm . ashley : gloria really went for it , and it worked . benjamin : wait . gloria -- you know that woman ? ashley : yeah , we 've met . i 'm sorry , your loss was our gain . i mean , it 's only 49 % , but it 's been a game - changer for us . benjamin : jabot is on a hot streak , and now with fenmore 's in the family ? well , it makes the concept of co - mingling your considerable assets and mine extra alluring . [ cell phone vibrates ] benjamin : oh . oh , i got to take this . you know how it is , right ? ashley : yeah . i think i do . it wo n't take long . uh , would you mind ordering for me ? the filet , medium rare , root vegetable medley , and a shrimp caesar . you 're a doll . yeah . uh - huh . ashley : oh , just in time . oh , no , please . just keep pouring . just keep pouring . more . that 's good . thank you . ravi : [ sighs ] hey . hey , it 's me . i 'm in town , short notice . yeah . hey , um , you free right now ? [ door opens ] reed : hey , billy , i did n't realize they had such attractive valets here . zoey : [ giggles ] get out here , you big wacko , so we can take a selfie with the reedmobile . billy : not that i think you needed help with the girls , but i 'm pretty sure the reedmobile is gon na put you up on a bonus level you 'll enjoy . reed : so , you want a ride to school tomorrow ? zoey : i thought you 'd never ask ! [ giggles ] reed : oh , kendall , um , i 'm sorry , but legally , i ca n't have more than one passenger until i 'm 18 . kendall : it 's okay . i 'm sure i 'll get my turn soon . nikki : well , my darling , i 'm gon na call it a night . reed : all right ! nikki : mmm ! i love you . happy birthday . reed : love you , too , grandma . thank you . victoria : honey , we should be heading home , also , in a minute . i hate to shut the party down so early , but it 's a school night , so ... reed : no problem . i understand . victoria : okay . reed : um , guys . thank you so much for coming , but it 's time to call it a night . zoey : okay . reed : i 'm gon na drive my new car home . [ laughter ] billy : you want me to go with reed , or did you want to ? victoria : no , you two go ahead . reed : i ca n't wait to see everybody 's faces tomorrow . it 's gon na be so much fun ! zoey : i know ! [ giggles ] victor : i need people around me that i can trust . and i trust you more than almost anyone else . abby : of course , i mean , you 're my dad . i have your back . i always will . victor : i 'm taking you at your word , okay ? i want to appoint you acting chief executive officer of newman enterprises . abby : [ laughing ] what ? victor : i have to go away for a while , and i want the company to be in good hands . abby : these hands ? my hands ? victor : these beautiful hands . does that come as a shock ? abby : yeah . [ laughs ] i guess i just did n't think that you thought i was ready for the title . victor : did you think i value you less than victoria ? abby : pretty much , yeah . victor : sweetheart , you may be a little younger , you may have less experience , but you have passion , you have a knack for business , and you 're loyal . and i appreciate those qualities more than almost anything else . abby : thank you , dad ! victor : and ... abby : and yes ! yes ! yes ! i -- i promise , i will not let you down . oh , my god ! [ laughs ] victor : my sweet girl . lily : so , are you a hockey fan ? juliet : no , but i might have to start . are n't they cute ? lily : yes , and the way they move on the ice ? juliet : which gives them buns of steel ? lily : mm - hmm . juliet : i so envy you . lily : [ laughs ] well , i 'm married , so no pinching for me , but you know what they say ... there 's no calories in eye candy . juliet : ooh ! [ laughter ] lily : are we allowed to have this much fun ? i mean , this could ruin your professional image . juliet : so , between that packet and the e - mail files i sent , you should have everything you need , but if i missed anything , just text me , e - mail me , day , night -- does n't matter . lily : okay . i 'm sure i 'll be fine . juliet : seriously , i am available 24/7 . lily : well , unlike most , i 'm low - maintenance , so you do n't have to worry . juliet : this is my first project at a new job , and i need to prove to victoria that she made the right call . lily : are you kidding ? you did all of this , and it 's amazing . it 's my job now to go out there and make us both look good . juliet : and you will . lily : you can count on it . so , text me your top - five players and maybe i 'll bring one home for you . juliet : ooh , well , just make sure he 's single . like you said , i have a professional image to uphold . [ both laugh ] cane : yeah , no , i 'm still here . no . no message . it 's okay , i 'll call back . uh , so philadelphia , huh ? you know , i 've always wondered . what 's a cheesesteak ? jordan : are you for real ? cane : uh - huh . jordan : a sandwich . it has cheese and steak . cheesesteak , basically . cane : that 's it ? that 's -- interesting ... jordan : hey , cane . just so you know , i get that it 's a little strange sending your wife off to another state with another dude , but you know it 's completely not like that , right ? cane : yeah , i know that . jordan : something 's weirding you out , brother . cane : no , no , it 's just a general level of weirdness , you know , about trips . work trips . you know , different cities , different time zones . you know , you drink too much and , you know , just ... jordan : i 'm a little lost here . cane : oh ! [ laughs ] do n't worry about it , man . i 'm just thinking out loud , you know ? just whenever lily goes anywhere away from home , i just kind of worry about her , that 's it . jordan : oh , okay . is this about lily 's creepy fan who lost his camera and gained a restraining order ? cane : exactly . that 's what it 's about . jordan : i get that . cane : he 's just lucky i have n't crossed paths with him , you know ? but hey -- wherever lily goes , there 's always someone just like him . jordan : nothing like that 's gon na happen under my watch , all right ? whatever the situation is , i 'm keeping her close to me . no worries , all right ? cane : yeah . yeah , man . no worries . that 's great . thanks for that . benjamin : sorry about that . you know how these conferences are -- schmooze all day , calls all evening . that 's enough of this shop - talk stuff , right ? what 's going on in your life ? ashley : well , my shop keeps me so busy , i do n't really have time for a personal life . benjamin : really ? so , not doing too much in the way of dating ? ashley : well , i 'm dating - ish , but i 'm definitely single . benjamin : oh . remarkable coincidence . me , too . divorce finalized . wounds licked . i 'm ready to give it another shot . ashley : well , i 've been there once or twice myself , and i 've always found it takes more of an adjustment than you think . benjamin : yes , but some people are easier to adjust to than others . especially when they 're only a mere 70 miles away from me in chicago and as charming as you . [ cell phone vibrates ] benjamin : [ sighs ] sorry , i -- i just need to do a quick text reply . done . what were we discussing ? ashley : um ... something about us being miles apart . ravi : it 's so good to see you guys ! chad : good to see you ! harper : oh , my gosh , look at that hot suit ! what , did you move to wisconsin and become a style icon , rav ? chad : while i schlep around the fashion capital of america dressed like this . ravi : well , thank you . shall we sit ? harper : yeah . chad : definitely . harper : ooh ! chad : this place is nice ! ravi : fancy enough for you ? chad : oh , yeah , i had to wear a vest this time .

[ sighs ] wait , you just texted me to cancel your order ? ashley : somebody knows his emoticons . good night , benjamin . harper : it really does . ravi : ashley ? ashley : hi ! ravi : hey , uh , what -- what happened to your dinner ? ashley : i canceled it . i 'll tell you about it later . it 's a long story , and you 've got plans . ravi : oh , these are my friends , chad and harper . hey , guys , this is my boss , ashley . chad : you did n't say she put every supermodel to shame . ashley : i really like your friends . ravi : me , too . ashley : do you mind if i join you ? harper : please ! ashley : i could use a drink . ravi : not at all . chad : yeah . welcome . ashley : thanks . may i ? ravi : take mine . ashley : thanks . ravi : of course . ashley : cheers . harper : cheers . victoria : reed ... reed : it 's my car ! i 'm keeping it ! she ca n't do this ! billy , will you tell her ? victoria : i told you you were n't getting your own car , and you said you were okay with it . reed : that was before i saw one with a big bow ... victoria : you said you did n't want to look like a spoiled rich kid , do you remember ? reed : maybe i just have a very generous grandfather ! victoria : it 's not an appropriate gift . reed : [ stammering ] i 'll be responsible ! you can trust me ! billy already said that i 'm a good driver ! billy : he really is . reed : mom , we need another car . i can help you with errands and with the kids , and ... and i wo n't use it without permission . and ... and ... mom , you can trust me . victoria : i do , sweetie . i do . it 's not that . reed : then what is it ? victoria : you should have never been given that car without my consent . your grandfather is the irresponsible one here . reed : then why i am being punished ? victoria : i 'm sorry , honey . i feel awful about this . i really do , but my decision is final . reed : i just had one of the best nights of my life , and you ruined it . billy : well , this is ripping you up . you have n't been yourself all day . victoria : do n't , billy ... billy : why do n't you tell me what 's going ? because this is more than about a car , so maybe we can salvage the night for reed and for you . nikki : oh . hello , you two . abby : hi . nikki : what happened there ? abby : um , dad and nick were sparring . i guess dad 's mind wandered . but i was just leaving , um ... nikki : oh ! abby : so good to see you , nikki . nikki : good to see you . good night . abby : have a good night . bye , dad . thank you again . mwah ! victor : bye , my sweetheart . okay . abby : good night ! victor : good night . [ door closes ] nikki : what 's she thanking you for ? victor : for a new position at newman enterprises . nikki : of course . a way to assure her loyalty since you have alienated your other children , apparently seriously enough for nicholas to do that . victor : i simply asked him to give me his best shot . nikki : i doubt that one punch in the face can begin to make up for what you 've done . after what you pulled tonight , i feel like hitting you myself . victor : you talking about reed 's party , or what ? nikki : you used that boy 's birthday to stab victoria in the back . just admit it . victor : i did no such thing . nikki : oh , go to hell , you lying son of a bitch . ravi : so good to see you guys . harper : i think she likes you . ravi : see you guys later !

you know what she would think of you if she found out that you killed cole ? johnny : you can stop right there , because if you breathe a word of that to anybody , i 'm gon na tell sam what you did to her baby . got to go . detective . a little late for the opening , do n't you think ?

dante : lulu knows the reason i was n't here is because i was saving her father and my mother from a psychopath . johnny : right . i heard about that . how 's olivia doing ? dante : they 're keeping her sedated till the drugs get out of her system . johnny : i 'm sorry . no matter what goes down between us , i - i still do care about her well - being . dante : so , why did you blackmail her boyfriend ?

johnny : right , but , see , it 's exactly that . it 's my past , and i am done with that life . dante : you sure about that ? johnny : you know , i 'm not hearing a lot of enthusiasm out of you . dante : i want lulu 's business to succeed , but i 'm still a cop and your grandfather 's murder is still unsolved . maxie : look , all that matters is you convinced patrick to get treatment . i should n't be criticizing how you made that happen . lulu : but you 're mad that i did n't include you . maxie : it 's just the frustration talking , okay , lulu ? i ca n't help patrick , so i take it out on my best friend . lulu : but that 's the hard part -- patrick has to help himself . maxie : just -- [ sniffles ] i thought when i moved in -- i thought i could make everything better . but then i realized that i ca n't give patrick the one thing he needs . i ca n't bring robin back from the dead . jerry : and now you 're treating robin 's husband -- the bereaved patrick drake ? ewen : yes . he 's -- he 's having trouble coping . jerry : oh , i 'm sure he is . you know , there 's -- there 's a certain symmetry there . see , in his grief , he turns to one of the few people who knows his wife is still alive . ewen : robin -- robin -- robin is as good as dead , thanks to you . jerry : oh , come on . do n't be afraid to share some of the credit . come on . ewen : now patrick -- patrick has to learn how to live without her . jerry : and how fortunate of him to have a man of your particular talent at his disposal . ewen : no doctor can cure patrick , and how is any man supposed to move on after a loss like that ?

[ scoffs ] patrick said that , by the end , when he was using , it was like robin was right there with him . so kicking the pills also means letting her go . lulu : how 's he doing ? maxie : well , he had a rough night , but he made it through . he 's in group therapy now , which , i guess , is kind of a requirement , but [ scoffs ] i do n't know . patrick 's a pretty proud person . arrogant , even . it 's got to be tough to open a vein in front of a couple of strangers . lulu : well , maybe he 'll feel supported , like he 's not the only one . maxie : yeah . whatever . i just hope this works . lulu : he is in good hands . dr. ewen keenan has taken a personal interest in patrick 's case . ewen : look , i - i gave your update . now we 're done , okay ? jerry : wait , wait , wait . you were a little sketchy on some of the finer points . for example , how many of the staff at ferncliff have saw robin , and is there anything to connect our `` anonymous `` patient to the late doctor robin scorpio drake ? ewen : there 's nothing , okay ? ! jerry : why are you so terse ? i mean , come on . i mean , i 'd almost think you did n't like me , after i 've given you such interesting and stimulating employment . ewen : [ scoffs ] you 're enjoying this , right ? jerry : yes , i am . i mean , you know what they say ? `` love what you do and you 'll never work a day in your life . `` [ chuckles ] come on . so , walk me through the transfer from ferncliff -- from the moment you wheeled her out of the room to the moment you loaded her up onto the airplane to switzerland . ewen : you know what ? maybe some other time . i - i have plans . jerry : really ? is elizabeth webber included in those plans ? jason : you stopped seeing dr. keenan because of me ? elizabeth : that 's what ewen thought . do you remember that night he came to my house for dinner and you had shown up ? well , he knew that we were dealing with something personal . he did n't ask me . he went straight to patrick and steven , and they told him that we have this connection . jason : okay . why -- why not ask you , uh , directly ? elizabeth : i do n't know . maybe he felt like we do n't know each other well enough . like i said , we 've only gone out on a couple dates . and then i backed things off , and i guess he assumed it was because my feelings for you run deeper than just a friendship . jason : i mean , is -- is there anything to that ? i - i would never want our friendship to keep you from being with somebody else . elizabeth : [ chuckles ] you do n't have to worry , jason . jason : i just -- i had -- i had no reason complicating your life by kissing you . elizabeth : you did n't complicate things . i mean , yes , something happened that night for me . but what i realize is that i 've been holding back , and i thought that all this time it was because of what happened to jake , but the truth is , i do n't have a very good track record with relationships , and i feel that if i start one , it 's doomed to fail . jason : i 'm sorry if i ever made you feel that way . elizabeth : no , it was n't -- it was n't you . i made my own mistakes . and regardless of how my relationships ended , i had good times . we had good times . and i want to remember those . i want to feel those feelings . i just want that again . jason : y - you should try again . i just -- i just do n't want to get in the way . elizabeth : well , i was n't holding back with ewen because of you . i mean , there was something else . ewen : how do you know about my relationship with -- with elizabeth ? jerry : i make it my business to know everything there is to know about the people i 'm working with . actually , i have fond memories of elizabeth -- lovely girl . i mean , when she was my hostage , we played this most amusing game . [ chuckles ] we had to give ourselves a title . for instance , i was commando one , so i called myself `` fun one . `` she called herself `` baby 's breath elizabeth . `` a little saccharine -- i mean , considering she was carrying a baby at the time . i believe that jason morgan was the father , actually . have you ever met him ? ewen : y - yes . briefly . yeah . jerry : i 'd never say this about anyone else , but , uh , jason morgan can be lethal . does he know you 're sniffing around his paramour ? ewen : he 's -- he 's married to someone else . jerry : oh , come on . when has marriage ever stopped anyone , especially for jason and elizabeth ? i mean , come on . [ chuckles ] actually , i believe that she was married to someone else when he got her pr -- ewen : enough , okay ? ! jerry : have i touched a nerve ? ewen : yes . i - i like elizabeth . jerry : i have to admit ... that 's not the answer i was hoping for . maxie : you know , dr. keenan was really able to help kate , so hopefully he 'll be able to help patrick . lulu : and do you know how long his group - therapy session is gon na be ? maxie : oh , no , patrick did n't say how long , but i 'm gon na wait here for a little while if you want to go check on your dad . lulu : no , i 'm taking a break . my dad tried to convince me to smuggle him cigars . maxie : [ chuckles ] so i guess he 's feeling better . lulu : yeah , it 's gon na take a while , but the doctors say he 's gon na make a full recovery . maxie : that 's great news . so , um , how 's olivia ? lulu : unfortunately , it 's serious . maxie : i 'm sorry . poor dante . lulu : he 's worried about her , but olivia 's tough , and she 's gon na get through it , and she 'll be so happy to know that her crisis brought me and dante back together . maxie : wait . what do you mean , `` back together `` ? 'cause i really ca n't handle another breakup . lulu : no , not a breakup . dante and i were just drifting apart . maxie : why ? lulu : i - i felt like if i was trying too hard to be a wife , i 'd stop being me . maxie : yeah . i can completely relate to that . lulu : [ chuckles ] so , my way of dealing with it was by not dealing with it , and that 's not what i want . when i have problems with dante , i want to work them out . maxie : are you sure this is just about your independence , or is there something else that 's maybe causing you and dante to drift apart ? lulu : no , it was also about johnny . starr : kate howard 's alter tried to kill anthony when she shot out his tires . maybe this time , she tried to kill him again and she succeeded . dante : kate howard was in police custody when the murder happened . starr : so two people wanted anthony dead ? johnny : more than two . the guy had a lot of enemies . dante : including you . johnny : that 's not news to anybody -- anthony and i did n't get along . did i kill him ? no . i had plenty of opportunities to off the guy or just to leave him to die , but i could n't do it . he 's family . what makes you think i would do it now ? dante : look , john , you are still a suspect . so if you are innocent , it is in your best interests to come forward and cooperate fully with this investigation so we can solve the case . starr : dante , wait . there is no way johnny would have killed his own grandfather . dante : what makes you so sure of that ? starr : because i have been working with johnny for months . i think i would know if i was working with a murderer . todd : why would there be something about your baby in my safe ? sam : i do n't know . why was there an article about my baby 's death crumpled up in your motel room ? todd : so heather was right ? that 's why spinelli was babbling in the hallway -- because you were inside my hotel room searching it . you lied to me . on your job application , you said that you were no longer a p.i . , but you 've been investigating me all along . sam : no . actually , spinelli and i were investigating heather . todd : yeah . understandable . sam : we just did n't understand why you hired her . i mean , we figured that she had to have had something on you . todd : i ca n't recruit fresh talent ? sam : from a mental institution ? todd : maybe i felt sorry for her . sam : you still have n't told me why you had the article about my baby 's death . todd : you broke into my office . you broke into my safe . you 're fired -- you . you do n't get to stand there and interrogate me . sam : i want to know why you hired me . i want to know why you showed up at my son 's memorial . you do n't even know me . why are you so obsessed with me ? what is your real interest in me and my baby ? maxie : did n't i say that working with johnny might be a problem ? lulu : is that an `` i told you so `` ? maxie : maybe . look , i 'm sorry , but you 're my best friend and it took you forever to figure out what everybody else knew -- that dante 's perfect for you . and johnny -- i mean , he has his good qualities , yeah , but he 's kind of like a slow - motion train wreck , and he 's never gon na make you happy , and i 'm not gon na tolerate him messing with your marriage . lulu : no . no , no , no , no , no . no . dante and i -- we 're in a really good place . last night was one of the best nights of his life ! what about you ? maxie : what about me ? lulu : your marriage . maxie : oh , right . um , well , i go visit matt on a weekly basis , so ... lulu : how 's he doing ? maxie : he 's doing good . he got a job as an orderly at the infirmary . and i know that 's not the same as being a doctor , but matt likes helping people . and , you know , as hard as prison is , he 's pretty glad that i 'm looking out for patrick and emma . lulu : well , it sounds like you 're doing good taking care of your family . and speaking of , i should probably go check on my dad and make sure he has n't bribed some orderly to smuggle him those cigars or something . maxie : hey , tell your dad and olivia that i 'm thinking about them . lulu : i will . [ door closes ] maxie : [ sighs ] lulu : hey . dante : hey . hey . lulu : how 's your mom ? dante : i 'm just gon na go see her right now . lulu : i 'll come with you . dante : yeah , oh , first , i , uh , i just went to see johnny . lulu : how 'd that go ? dante : good . i - i told him -- well , i apologized for being an -- an insecure jerk and told him i was over it and that i did n't think he was a threat to our marriage . lulu : definitely not . dante : and that he was still a suspect in his grandfather 's murder . starr : it 's just not fair . he 's treating you like you have something to hide . johnny : it 's not your fault . starr : he must be desperate for leads . that 's what my dad always says . johnny : yeah , from what i understand , your dad has a lot of experience being interrogated by the cops . starr : yeah , but he 's usually guilty . you , on the other hand , you would have never killed anthony or anyone else . todd : it 's a done deal . i 'll erase all of the footage . johnny : so , you got rid of it ? todd : well , i was gon na delete the files , but they opened . and that 's when i heard you admit to killing my granddaughter . johnny : thanks . it means a lot for you , of all people , to say that . starr : what do you mean , me , `` of all people `` ? johnny : nothing . it was just an expression . the cops do n't have any evidence on me , and they never will . todd : all right , then . before you pick up your severance pay and hand me your parking pass , i 'll tell you why i cut out that article . because i was grieving . i was feeling guilty . sam : about my son ? todd : about my granddaughter . she was strapped into a car seat in the back of a car that went over a cliff . it may astonish you to hear this , but you 're not the only person that 's ever mourned the loss of a child . sam : you said you were feeling guilty . todd : i was on trial for killing my brother . that 's -- starr and her family -- they were on their way to llanview to support me . i should have sent them a plane . i -- there 's a million different things that i could have done to keep them off the road that night . i did none of them . i have to live with that . starr has to live with that grief of losing a child for the rest of her life . so i cut out that article because it -- it resonated with me . and then i realized that , you know , regret is for losers , so i - i crumpled it up and i threw it in the trash . sam : okay . if it was about your granddaughter , then why give me the job ? why go to my son 's memorial ? todd : because i could n't go to my granddaughter 's memorial because i was in jail . and i gave you a job because you asked for a job . you came to me . you said your life was a mess , you wanted a fresh start , you had split with your husband . you had just lost your baby . jason : what was the other reason ? elizabeth : for not moving forward with ewen ? jason : yeah . elizabeth : my babies . any man i bring into the house affects them . jason : so you -- you were worried they would n't get along ? elizabeth : cameron seems to really like ewen . aiden 's a little more standoffish , which surprises me , because he 's generally very friendly . but i did n't want my boys getting used to somebody who 's not gon na be there . jason : that makes -- that makes a lot of sense . elizabeth : and there was -- there was just this -- there was something else with ewen . jason : what ? elizabeth : something that happened on spoon island . jerry : you know what ? i fear your relationship with miss webber may prove problematic . ewen : let 's -- let 's just leave elizabeth out of this . jerry : well , i will if you will . ewen : and what is that supposed to mean ? jerry : well , you see , love has a tendency to make people sloppy . one night of pillow talk and all our secrets are revealed . ewen : revealed ? i have n't revealed anything to elizabeth . jerry : keep it that way . we would n't want elizabeth or anyone else to suspect that you 're working for me , would we ? todd : i gave you a job because you were in crisis . you said you were all alone , no husband at your side . you took advantage of my compassionate nature , 'cause that 's just the kind of guy i am . i help people . i - i care about their problems . mcbain : manning ! you 're gon na pay for what you did . | starr goes to todd 's office and reveals that johnny told her about the camera todd had planted . she asks him to respect the boundaries she sets . he says he will and then immediately calls johnny to ask what he is doing . johnny glibly says he thought starr should know that the two of them came to a meeting of the minds . johnny hangs up on todd when dante walks into the haunted star . dante says he was n't to talk to johnny about lulu . he tells johnny he was a jerk and wo n't stand in lulu 's way anymore . johnny asks how olivia is doing and says he still cares about her well - being . dante asks him why she was blackmailing olivia 's boyfriend , then . starr comes into the haunted starr , interrupting their conversation . dante says anthony 's murder investigation is still open . starr wonders why when they have already arrested heather webber . dante says heather , luke , and tracy could face charges of obstructing justice by moving the body , but all the evidence indicates that anthony was already dead when they found him . starr wonders if kate 's howard 's alter killed anthony since she tried before . dante says kate was in custody at the time . starr concludes that two people wanted anthony dead . johnny says anthony had a lot of enemies . dante says johnny was one of them . johnny denies killing anthony . dante tells johnny that if he is innocent then he has nothing to lose my coming forward with any information he may have that would help them solve the case . maxie confronts lulu about not telling her that patrick is in rehab . lulu says she did n't intentionally keep it from her ; her father and olivia were both brought into the hospital that same night so she was preoccupied . maxie recalls that before that , lulu lied to her and said patrick was at the haunted star because he had forgotten something . lulu explains that she could n't say anything more because patrick was standing right there hallucinating robin . maxie says she is just glad patrick is getting help . lulu tells her that dr. ewen keenan has taken a personal interest in patrick 's case . lulu tells maxie about her recent fight with dante . she says it was partly because she wanted to maintain her individuality and another part johnny zacchara . she asks maxie about her marriage . she says she gets to visit matt once a week in prison and that matt is working as an orderly at the prison infirmary . dante runs into lulu at general hospital and tells her about his visit with johnny . | <s>[INST] elizabeth : wan na have some pancakes ? aiden : yeah . elizabeth : yeah ?

jason : you know , a little bit , but nothing really seems to change . elizabeth : [ sighs ] i 'm so sorry . jason : you know , something 's got to change . we ca n't keep doing what we 've been doing . elizabeth : i wish there was some way i could fix it . jason : thank you . but it 's , uh , it 's really not your problem . so , how -- how did your lunch go with , uh , dr. keenan ? ewen : do n't worry , okay ? robin scorpio drake was transferred to the facility in switzerland . jerry : and her mental state ? ewen : she 's , uh , she 's semi - lucid has no idea of her surroundings or anything else , for that matter . jerry : yes . ignorance can really be utter bliss , do n't you think ? what about the mother ? ewen : anna devane ? uh , she -- she left ferncliff convinced that her daughter had never set foot in the place . jerry : ms. devane has a formidable reputation , an instinct for lies and cover- ups . are you sure she discounted heather webber 's statements ? ewen : they were no more than the rantings of a lunatic , so yes . jerry : wonderful . congratulations on a job well down . ewen : well , what 's one more , right ? jerry : ooh . is someone feeling unappreciated ? and i 'm so grateful about all your hard work . i am . i really am . i mean , i could n't have accomplished anything without you . ewen : well , i 'm sure you 'd have found a way . jerry : nonsense . nonsense . your position in the hospital gave us unfettered access to restricted areas . clearance , you know , to make it possible for us to get into the lab undetected and smuggle the good doctor out . last but not least , i mean , you provided the anonymous corpse that was to be found charred beyond recognition . you know , a little dna tampering during the autopsy , and -- voil -- robin scorpio rests in peace ; and her poor , little family can heal at last . i mean , no one cares about an anonymous mental patient in a swiss clinic , do they ? ewen : and what about the explosion that , uh , that supposedly killed robin ? jerry : well , you know , it was a necessary diversion . ewen : you know , maxie jones blames herself for that blast . that could n't be any further from the truth , could it ? maxie : look , when i called and told you that patrick had n't made it home , you said that it was no problem , that he was with you on the haunted star because he forgot something . lulu : which was technically true . maxie : okay , look , please . lies of omission are my thing , not yours , okay , lulu ? lulu : look , maxie , i wanted to tell you -- i wish i could have -- but patrick was standing right there and he was in really bad shape . maxie : then that 's exactly what you should have said to me . lulu : you do n't get it . he was hallucinating . maxie : what -- what are you talking about ? lulu : i was walking out onto the deck and he called me `` robin . `` he thought he was seeing his dead wife . maxie : wow . the wife i took from him . jerry : poor maxie . carrying so much guilt for an accident that never happened . you see , the lab explosion -- that took very careful planning . robin 's death had to be very convincing . ewen : she 's still alive . jerry : and , uh , does that redeem me ? but , i mean , which is worse ? to kill someone outright or to leave them alive while their family grieves for no reason ? what do you think , hmm ? mcbain 's voice : `` i hope it was worth it . you 'll have all the time in the world to decide . goodbye . `` mcbain : where is she ? you obviously took natalie somewhere . tell me . franklin : mr. buchanan had me take miss natalie and the boy to the airport . that 's all i know . mcbain : tell clint you did what you came for . get out . come on . come on . natalie , do n't hang up . todd : you told starr about the hidden camera . johnny : why not ? i figured she 'd want to know that you and i have a friendly agreement . todd : did you learn that kind of thing bouncing up and down on anthony zacchara 's knee ? johnny : actually , anthony would have just offed you by now . todd : well , maybe that 's what you should do . but if that 's what you decide , you should know that i have proof . i 've got a full confession -- digitized , downloaded . johnny : i got no idea what you 're talking about . i just figured starr would want to know we had a meeting of the minds . todd : must give you such a thrill to see my daughter grateful to you . do you like to look at her and see that she 's got trust in her eyes ? you know what she would think of you if she found out that you killed cole ? johnny : you can stop right there , because if you breathe a word of that to anybody , i 'm gon na tell sam what you did to her baby . got to go . detective . a little late for the opening , do n't you think ? dante : yeah , i 'm not here for the music . johnny : right . you know , lulu was pretty upset that you were a no - show . dante : that 's why i 'm here . we need to talk about lulu . todd : hang up on me ? i 'll call you back ... hang up on you . no way you 're ever gon na tell anybody what it is that i 've done . questions ? me how you feel about my partnership with lulu . dante : look , i was a jerk . johnny : past tense ? dante : lulu wants to work with you . i respect that . i will not be causing any more problems here or anywhere else . johnny : all right . look who 's become the modern husband . dante : this place makes her happy , and that 's all i care about . johnny : is that why you were a no - show opening night ? dante : lulu knows the reason i was n't here is because i was saving her father and my mother from a psychopath . johnny : right . i heard about that . how 's olivia doing ? dante : they 're keeping her sedated till the drugs get out of her system . johnny : i 'm sorry . no matter what goes down between us , i - i still do care about her well - being . dante : so , why did you blackmail her boyfriend ? starr : johnny . johnny : hey . starr : hey . johnny : starr , i - i do n't believe you 've met lulu 's husband , have you ? dante : we 've -- we 've crossed paths but never met . dante falconeri . starr : yeah . hi . you 're michael 's brother . dante : i am . starr : you two get along a lot better than me and my brother do . uh , i guess i 'm interrupting . i heard something about blackmail . johnny : oh , it 's just part of my past , is all . starr : you can tell me . i know all about your past , remember ? johnny : right , but , see , it 's exactly that . it 's my past , and i am done with that life . dante : you sure about that ? johnny : you know , i 'm not hearing a lot of enthusiasm out of you . dante : i want lulu 's business to succeed , but i 'm still a cop and your grandfather 's murder is still unsolved . maxie : look , all that matters is you convinced patrick to get treatment . i should n't be criticizing how you made that happen . lulu : but you 're mad that i did n't include you . maxie : it 's just the frustration talking , okay , lulu ? i ca n't help patrick , so i take it out on my best friend . lulu : but that 's the hard part -- patrick has to help himself . maxie : just -- [ sniffles ] i thought when i moved in -- i thought i could make everything better . but then i realized that i ca n't give patrick the one thing he needs . i ca n't bring robin back from the dead . jerry : and now you 're treating robin 's husband -- the bereaved patrick drake ? ewen : yes . he 's -- he 's having trouble coping . jerry : oh , i 'm sure he is . you know , there 's -- there 's a certain symmetry there . see , in his grief , he turns to one of the few people who knows his wife is still alive . ewen : robin -- robin -- robin is as good as dead , thanks to you . jerry : oh , come on . do n't be afraid to share some of the credit . come on . ewen : now patrick -- patrick has to learn how to live without her . jerry : and how fortunate of him to have a man of your particular talent at his disposal . ewen : no doctor can cure patrick , and how is any man supposed to move on after a loss like that ? jerry : yeah , i know it 's sad , is n't it ? hmm . jason : i hope i did n't make things awkward for you and -- and dr. keenan . elizabeth : why , because we ran into each other at the floating rib ? jason : well , i mean , we were kind of sitting , you know , and he looked at me a couple times . elizabeth : that was completely my fault . i kept staring over at you and -- and sonny ... you know ... 'cause i - i notice you when you 're around . jason : um , i notice you , too . elizabeth : dr. keenan 's -- he 's -- he 's very perceptive , and i 'm sure he picked up on the tension between us . jason : [ sighs ] it 's because i - i kissed you , and i - i really need to apologize . elizabeth : no . stop . do n't . stop apologizing . jason : i - i just do n't want to mess things up for you and dr. keenan . that 's -- that 's all . elizabeth : it was lunch . jason : it was n't a -- a date ? elizabeth : i mean , we 've been out a couple times , but , you know , i slowed things down . jason : can i ask why ? elizabeth : my relationship with you . mcbain : look . just tell me where you and liam are . no . london is not your home . this is your home . this is your family -- the three of us . and i know you 're mad , but you ca n't just take my little boy and leave the country , natalie . i know . i hate myself , and i 'm sorry , and i will spend the rest of my life trying to make this up to you . but right now , you and i need to have a face - to - face so we can talk about this , all right ? so i - i 'm on the next flight to london , okay ? where 's my passport ? natalie , where 's my passport ? you took my son , and you took my passport . you really think that 's gon na stop me ? [ dial tone ] mcbain : natalie ? natalie ? ! todd : the charity that i contribute to . i insist on remaining anonymous , you know , 'cause once you 're on a list , they -- they e - mail you during dinner . i hate that . sam : um , i just wanted to see if you needed anything before i got settled . todd : actually , um , yeah , could you grab me something from my safe ? sam : your safe ? todd : yep . my safe . i 'm sure there 's something in there that you need . sam : uh , i do n't have the combination . todd : i never told it to you ? sam : no . todd : oh . i find that surprising . i mean , i trust you so much . go ahead . i - i do n't think you even need the combination . i - i 'm sensing now that -- that it 's already open . so , uh , why do n't you , uh , go ahead ? sam : hmm . todd : should be a -- a piece of paper in there -- just for you . sam : what the hell is this ? mcbain : son of a bitch ! sam : this is what you wanted me to get from your safe ? todd : yeah . what ? sam : you 're firing me ? todd : you broke into my safe , did n't you ? that 's why you 're hit - man husband was out here guarding the door . sam : [ sighs ] yeah , you 're right . todd : what were you looking for ? because my uncut diamonds , you know , they 're in my daughter 's old iguana tank . sam : i do n't know . todd : you do n't know ? you broke , you entered , you violated my privacy , and you do n't even know what you were looking for ? sam : i do n't know . maybe it was something about my baby . starr : you think that johnny is the one that killed anthony ? you already arrested the woman that buried his body in the woods . johnny : right . heather webber . looks like a prime suspect to me . dante : miss webber had no motive to kill anthony , and we think she buried the body in a misguided attempt to protect luke spencer . johnny : okay , so luke 's guilty , right ? i - i told you , anthony heard luke and tracy plotting . dante : okay , luke and tracy are still suspects , but every bit of evidence we have , johnny , corroborates their story . johnny : which is ? dante : anthony was dead when they found him in the quartermaine boathouse . and they moved the body and tried to dispose of a weapon -- that means they 'd be facing obstruction charges , not murder charges . starr : maybe the person that killed cole and hope also killed anthony . lulu : can you please not put this on yourself ? patrick missed robin so much , he needed to find a way to keep her present . maxie : yeah , that 's why he 's taking the pills . lulu : he told you about that ? starr : we talked about it when i first got here . [ scoffs ] patrick said that , by the end , when he was using , it was like robin was right there with him . so kicking the pills also means letting her go . lulu : how 's he doing ? maxie : well , he had a rough night , but he made it through . he 's in group therapy now , which , i guess , is kind of a requirement , but [ scoffs ] i do n't know . patrick 's a pretty proud person . arrogant , even . it 's got to be tough to open a vein in front of a couple of strangers . lulu : well , maybe he 'll feel supported , like he 's not the only one . maxie : yeah . whatever . i just hope this works . lulu : he is in good hands . dr. ewen keenan has taken a personal interest in patrick 's case . ewen : look , i - i gave your update . now we 're done , okay ? jerry : wait , wait , wait . you were a little sketchy on some of the finer points . for example , how many of the staff at ferncliff have saw robin , and is there anything to connect our `` anonymous `` patient to the late doctor robin scorpio drake ? ewen : there 's nothing , okay ? ! jerry : why are you so terse ? i mean , come on . i mean , i 'd almost think you did n't like me , after i 've given you such interesting and stimulating employment . ewen : [ scoffs ] you 're enjoying this , right ? jerry : yes , i am . i mean , you know what they say ? `` love what you do and you 'll never work a day in your life . `` [ chuckles ] come on . so , walk me through the transfer from ferncliff -- from the moment you wheeled her out of the room to the moment you loaded her up onto the airplane to switzerland . ewen : you know what ? maybe some other time . i - i have plans . jerry : really ? is elizabeth webber included in those plans ? jason : you stopped seeing dr. keenan because of me ? elizabeth : that 's what ewen thought . do you remember that night he came to my house for dinner and you had shown up ? well , he knew that we were dealing with something personal . he did n't ask me . he went straight to patrick and steven , and they told him that we have this connection . jason : okay . why -- why not ask you , uh , directly ? elizabeth : i do n't know . maybe he felt like we do n't know each other well enough . like i said , we 've only gone out on a couple dates . and then i backed things off , and i guess he assumed it was because my feelings for you run deeper than just a friendship . jason : i mean , is -- is there anything to that ? i - i would never want our friendship to keep you from being with somebody else . elizabeth : [ chuckles ] you do n't have to worry , jason . jason : i just -- i had -- i had no reason complicating your life by kissing you . elizabeth : you did n't complicate things . i mean , yes , something happened that night for me . but what i realize is that i 've been holding back , and i thought that all this time it was because of what happened to jake , but the truth is , i do n't have a very good track record with relationships , and i feel that if i start one , it 's doomed to fail . jason : i 'm sorry if i ever made you feel that way . elizabeth : no , it was n't -- it was n't you . i made my own mistakes . and regardless of how my relationships ended , i had good times . we had good times . and i want to remember those . i want to feel those feelings . i just want that again . jason : y - you should try again . i just -- i just do n't want to get in the way . elizabeth : well , i was n't holding back with ewen because of you . i mean , there was something else . ewen : how do you know about my relationship with -- with elizabeth ? jerry : i make it my business to know everything there is to know about the people i 'm working with . actually , i have fond memories of elizabeth -- lovely girl . i mean , when she was my hostage , we played this most amusing game . [ chuckles ] we had to give ourselves a title . for instance , i was commando one , so i called myself `` fun one . `` she called herself `` baby 's breath elizabeth . `` a little saccharine -- i mean , considering she was carrying a baby at the time . i believe that jason morgan was the father , actually . have you ever met him ? ewen : y - yes . briefly . yeah . jerry : i 'd never say this about anyone else , but , uh , jason morgan can be lethal . does he know you 're sniffing around his paramour ? ewen : he 's -- he 's married to someone else . jerry : oh , come on . when has marriage ever stopped anyone , especially for jason and elizabeth ? i mean , come on . [ chuckles ] actually , i believe that she was married to someone else when he got her pr -- ewen : enough , okay ? ! jerry : have i touched a nerve ? ewen : yes . i - i like elizabeth . jerry : i have to admit ... that 's not the answer i was hoping for . maxie : you know , dr. keenan was really able to help kate , so hopefully he 'll be able to help patrick . lulu : and do you know how long his group - therapy session is gon na be ? maxie : oh , no , patrick did n't say how long , but i 'm gon na wait here for a little while if you want to go check on your dad . lulu : no , i 'm taking a break . my dad tried to convince me to smuggle him cigars . maxie : [ chuckles ] so i guess he 's feeling better . lulu : yeah , it 's gon na take a while , but the doctors say he 's gon na make a full recovery . maxie : that 's great news . so , um , how 's olivia ? lulu : unfortunately , it 's serious . maxie : i 'm sorry . poor dante . lulu : he 's worried about her , but olivia 's tough , and she 's gon na get through it , and she 'll be so happy to know that her crisis brought me and dante back together . maxie : wait . what do you mean , `` back together `` ? 'cause i really ca n't handle another breakup . lulu : no , not a breakup . dante and i were just drifting apart . maxie : why ? lulu : i - i felt like if i was trying too hard to be a wife , i 'd stop being me . maxie : yeah . i can completely relate to that . lulu : [ chuckles ] so , my way of dealing with it was by not dealing with it , and that 's not what i want . when i have problems with dante , i want to work them out . maxie : are you sure this is just about your independence , or is there something else that 's maybe causing you and dante to drift apart ? lulu : no , it was also about johnny . starr : kate howard 's alter tried to kill anthony when she shot out his tires . maybe this time , she tried to kill him again and she succeeded . dante : kate howard was in police custody when the murder happened . starr : so two people wanted anthony dead ? johnny : more than two . the guy had a lot of enemies . dante : including you . johnny : that 's not news to anybody -- anthony and i did n't get along . did i kill him ? no . i had plenty of opportunities to off the guy or just to leave him to die , but i could n't do it . he 's family . what makes you think i would do it now ? dante : look , john , you are still a suspect . so if you are innocent , it is in your best interests to come forward and cooperate fully with this investigation so we can solve the case . starr : dante , wait . there is no way johnny would have killed his own grandfather . dante : what makes you so sure of that ? starr : because i have been working with johnny for months . i think i would know if i was working with a murderer . todd : why would there be something about your baby in my safe ? sam : i do n't know . why was there an article about my baby 's death crumpled up in your motel room ? todd : so heather was right ? that 's why spinelli was babbling in the hallway -- because you were inside my hotel room searching it . you lied to me . on your job application , you said that you were no longer a p.i . , but you 've been investigating me all along . sam : no . actually , spinelli and i were investigating heather . todd : yeah . understandable . sam : we just did n't understand why you hired her . i mean , we figured that she had to have had something on you . todd : i ca n't recruit fresh talent ? sam : from a mental institution ? todd : maybe i felt sorry for her . sam : you still have n't told me why you had the article about my baby 's death . todd : you broke into my office . you broke into my safe . you 're fired -- you . you do n't get to stand there and interrogate me . sam : i want to know why you hired me . i want to know why you showed up at my son 's memorial . you do n't even know me . why are you so obsessed with me ? what is your real interest in me and my baby ? maxie : did n't i say that working with johnny might be a problem ? lulu : is that an `` i told you so `` ? maxie : maybe . look , i 'm sorry , but you 're my best friend and it took you forever to figure out what everybody else knew -- that dante 's perfect for you . and johnny -- i mean , he has his good qualities , yeah , but he 's kind of like a slow - motion train wreck , and he 's never gon na make you happy , and i 'm not gon na tolerate him messing with your marriage . lulu : no . no , no , no , no , no . no . dante and i -- we 're in a really good place . last night was one of the best nights of his life ! what about you ? maxie : what about me ? lulu : your marriage . maxie : oh , right . um , well , i go visit matt on a weekly basis , so ... lulu : how 's he doing ? maxie : he 's doing good . he got a job as an orderly at the infirmary . and i know that 's not the same as being a doctor , but matt likes helping people . and , you know , as hard as prison is , he 's pretty glad that i 'm looking out for patrick and emma . lulu : well , it sounds like you 're doing good taking care of your family . and speaking of , i should probably go check on my dad and make sure he has n't bribed some orderly to smuggle him those cigars or something . maxie : hey , tell your dad and olivia that i 'm thinking about them . lulu : i will . [ door closes ] maxie : [ sighs ] lulu : hey . dante : hey . hey . lulu : how 's your mom ? dante : i 'm just gon na go see her right now . lulu : i 'll come with you . dante : yeah , oh , first , i , uh , i just went to see johnny . lulu : how 'd that go ? dante : good . i - i told him -- well , i apologized for being an -- an insecure jerk and told him i was over it and that i did n't think he was a threat to our marriage . lulu : definitely not . dante : and that he was still a suspect in his grandfather 's murder . starr : it 's just not fair . he 's treating you like you have something to hide . johnny : it 's not your fault . starr : he must be desperate for leads . that 's what my dad always says . johnny : yeah , from what i understand , your dad has a lot of experience being interrogated by the cops . starr : yeah , but he 's usually guilty . you , on the other hand , you would have never killed anthony or anyone else . todd : it 's a done deal . i 'll erase all of the footage . johnny : so , you got rid of it ? todd : well , i was gon na delete the files , but they opened . and that 's when i heard you admit to killing my granddaughter . johnny : thanks . it means a lot for you , of all people , to say that . starr : what do you mean , me , `` of all people `` ? johnny : nothing . it was just an expression . the cops do n't have any evidence on me , and they never will . todd : all right , then . before you pick up your severance pay and hand me your parking pass , i 'll tell you why i cut out that article . because i was grieving . i was feeling guilty . sam : about my son ? todd : about my granddaughter . she was strapped into a car seat in the back of a car that went over a cliff . it may astonish you to hear this , but you 're not the only person that 's ever mourned the loss of a child . sam : you said you were feeling guilty . todd : i was on trial for killing my brother . that 's -- starr and her family -- they were on their way to llanview to support me . i should have sent them a plane . i -- there 's a million different things that i could have done to keep them off the road that night . i did none of them . i have to live with that . starr has to live with that grief of losing a child for the rest of her life . so i cut out that article because it -- it resonated with me . and then i realized that , you know , regret is for losers , so i - i crumpled it up and i threw it in the trash . sam : okay . if it was about your granddaughter , then why give me the job ? why go to my son 's memorial ? todd : because i could n't go to my granddaughter 's memorial because i was in jail . and i gave you a job because you asked for a job . you came to me . you said your life was a mess , you wanted a fresh start , you had split with your husband . you had just lost your baby . jason : what was the other reason ? elizabeth : for not moving forward with ewen ? jason : yeah . elizabeth : my babies . any man i bring into the house affects them . jason : so you -- you were worried they would n't get along ? elizabeth : cameron seems to really like ewen . aiden 's a little more standoffish , which surprises me , because he 's generally very friendly . but i did n't want my boys getting used to somebody who 's not gon na be there . jason : that makes -- that makes a lot of sense . elizabeth : and there was -- there was just this -- there was something else with ewen . jason : what ? elizabeth : something that happened on spoon island . jerry : you know what ? i fear your relationship with miss webber may prove problematic . ewen : let 's -- let 's just leave elizabeth out of this . jerry : well , i will if you will . ewen : and what is that supposed to mean ? jerry : well , you see , love has a tendency to make people sloppy . one night of pillow talk and all our secrets are revealed . ewen : revealed ? i have n't revealed anything to elizabeth . jerry : keep it that way . we would n't want elizabeth or anyone else to suspect that you 're working for me , would we ? todd : i gave you a job because you were in crisis . you said you were all alone , no husband at your side . you took advantage of my compassionate nature , 'cause that 's just the kind of guy i am . i help people . i - i care about their problems . mcbain : manning ! you 're gon na pay for what you did .Summarize.[/INST]starr goes to todd 's office and reveals that johnny told her about the camera todd had planted . she asks him to respect the boundaries she sets . he says he will and then immediately calls johnny to ask what he is doing . johnny glibly says he thought starr should know that the two of them came to a meeting of the minds . johnny hangs up on todd when dante walks into the haunted star . dante says he was n't to talk to johnny about lulu . he tells johnny he was a jerk and wo n't stand in lulu 's way anymore . johnny asks how olivia is doing and says he still cares about her well - being . dante asks him why she was blackmailing olivia 's boyfriend , then . starr comes into the haunted starr , interrupting their conversation . dante says anthony 's murder investigation is still open . starr wonders why when they have already arrested heather webber . dante says heather , luke , and tracy could face charges of obstructing justice by moving the body , but all the evidence indicates that anthony was already dead when they found him . starr wonders if kate 's howard 's alter killed anthony since she tried before . dante says kate was in custody at the time . starr concludes that two people wanted anthony dead . johnny says anthony had a lot of enemies . dante says johnny was one of them . johnny denies killing anthony . dante tells johnny that if he is innocent then he has nothing to lose my coming forward with any information he may have that would help them solve the case . maxie confronts lulu about not telling her that patrick is in rehab . lulu says she did n't intentionally keep it from her ; her father and olivia were both brought into the hospital that same night so she was preoccupied . maxie recalls that before that , lulu lied to her and said patrick was at the haunted star because he had forgotten something . lulu explains that she could n't say anything more because patrick was standing right there hallucinating robin . maxie says she is just glad patrick is getting help . lulu tells her that dr. ewen keenan has taken a personal interest in patrick 's case . lulu tells maxie about her recent fight with dante . she says it was partly because she wanted to maintain her individuality and another part johnny zacchara . she asks maxie about her marriage . she says she gets to visit matt once a week in prison and that matt is working as an orderly at the prison infirmary . dante runs into lulu at general hospital and tells her about his visit with johnny .</s> | 11,171 |

[ sighs ] [ keyboard clacking ] paul : all this stress is n't good for you , nikki -- delia 's death , not to mention the other issue you 're dealing with . nikki : thank you . you know , after you and i talked last night , i just could n't stop thinking about dylan , so ... i went and saw him at crimson lights . paul : you did ? i mean to -- nikki : to tell him . yeah . paul : well , what happened ? how did it go ? nikki : well ... we were talking , and i started to open up to him . i was this close to telling him i was his mother . paul : what stopped you ? nikki : victor . i had gotten a little emotional , and victor walked in and misunderstood the situation . he blamed dylan for upsetting me , and then he tore into him about avery and nicholas . paul : and i do n't suppose you could get victor to back off . nikki : oh , no . no . the moment was gone . paul : i 'm sorry about that . talk about bad timing , huh ? nikki : well , yes . maybe . or maybe it was the universe jumping in , just telling me to stop , because , obviously , i have n't thought this whole thing through properly . i - i could tell that by the way victor reacted . i mean , what if i had told dylan that i was his mother right before he got the news about delia ? that would have been too much for him . paul : well , i guess the good news is , if you do decide to tell dylan at some point , you can choose your moment , whenever you 're ready . nikki : i do n't know . the more i think about it ... the more i 'm not sure if i ever will be . [ scene_break ] dylan : uh , sorry to interrupt . i was just taking a walk . go ahead . nick : no , it 's -- it 's cool . i got to get another mile in before i go home , anyway . bye . avery : so , are you upset with me about last night ? dylan : uh , why would i be upset ? avery : well , because i came by when you were closing , and then i made a dumb excuse , and i left right away . dylan : uh , you thought you were ready to talk , but you were n't . it 's okay . avery : then why are you upset ? okay . you know what ? it 's none of my business . dylan : no , it 's totally your business . and there 's no other lawyer i 'd rather share this with . [ scene_break ] adam : why would you hesitate for even one second if this transplant can save our son 's eyes ? chelsea : i just -- i -- i just wish we had a better option . adam : and that 's supposed to mean what ? chelsea : i told you . i want to do this the right way . adam : through proper channels ? chelsea : yes ! adam : well , we do n't ha -- you want to -- you want to take a chance ? you want to just wait and hope that maybe corneas come available at the right time ? our son is going blind , and i 'm not taking that chance . i know about the pediatric ophthalmologists at this hospital , and i know about this guy . and i 'm telling you , he 's not some second - rate hatchet - job doctor that 's gon na cut him up on a kitchen table . chelsea : i 'm not saying -- adam : then what 's the problem ? chelsea : the problem is this whole black - market organ thing ! what kind of surgeon would agree to work with these people ? [ sighs ] i just -- i just think that dr. lintz should do the procedure . do n't you want that , too ? adam : he 's probably not gon na want to deal with these corneas . chelsea : exactly ! and why is that ? because it 's illegal , adam ! adam : but the guy that 's doing it is not some hack ! i 've told you that ! he 's done dozens of procedures ! chelsea : then why is he doing this kind of stuff ? adam : i assume it 's for the money , but that does n't change the point , okay ? this guy is gon na be fine . i would not trust my son and his eyesight to some idiot doctor . do you understand me ? look up his background . on the drive over to the hospital , to quell your fears , look that up . but i want you to ask yourself one question . in the end , our son can have a transplant to save his eyesight . do you want that to happen or not ? chelsea : of course i do . adam : then let 's go get our son ready , and let 's get the hell over to the hospital . [ scene_break ] billy : you do n't need to yell at her like that . yell at me . i made the mistake . victoria : billy , its okay . chloe : there 's absolutely no way that we 're gon na be able to have a relationship after what you did . [ crying ] i want you out of my life . and you have no say in how i choose to bury my kid . billy : she 's my daughter . chloe : oh , well , you lost that right when you left her alone in the car . victoria : billy , she does n't mean it , okay ? she 's just grieving . it 's not your fault . it 's not your fault . where are you going ? billy : i 'm gon na go take care of my little girl . [ scene_break ] avery : okay . there may be a loophole we can exploit . dylan : to do what ? avery : to allow you to be part of connor 's life , if that 's what you want . do you ? dylan : what 's done is done . i could fight , but what good would that do anyone ? avery : are you worried about adam and his resources ? dylan : no . no , the only thing that matters is connor . i mean , i do n't want to bring more suffering into his life . it 's bad enough he 's losing his eyesight . he does n't need two dads fighting over him . avery : you 're a good guy . you know that ? dylan : yeah . must be why ... good things keep happening to me . avery : [ sighing ] well ... yeah , the last year has been a roller coaster for you , has n't it ? dylan : it has n't been much easier for you . avery : oh . thanks for reminding me . you know , i wish i could turn the clock back . there 's a lot i would do differently . dylan : if -- if i recall , i was the one who suggested we push the reset button . avery : you did . dylan : only now , i realize i would n't -- i would n't want to . i mean , if this year had never happened , i would have missed out on a lot of things . but mostly ... i never would have known what it was like to be a dad . [ scene_break ] nikki : i want to get to know dylan a little bit better . the little i have spoken to him , i - i like him . i think he 's a good person . but if i were to start insinuating myself and asking questions , i would know what 's going through my mind , and i would shut that down pretty darn quick . paul : you know , nikki ... if you really want to get to know your son , you 'll figure out a way to make it happen . nikki : yeah , and then i 'll blurt the whole thing out one day , and it 'll all fall apart . paul : oh , you do n't know that . nikki : well , based on our conversation last night , it 's obvious he has no idea he 's adopted . i would be the one telling him that the mother who raised him kept a lie her entire life . i would be the one telling him he has a whole other family he never knew existed ! paul : okay , we have been all over this . you can paint any picture you want in your head . nikki : [ sighs ] paul : but you 'll never know the reality ... until you decide to tell him the truth . nikki : i just think it 's too big of a risk . i think the best thing for everybody is to forget all about it and act like i never found out . paul : oh , and you think you can make that happen ? i mean , dylan lives right here in genoa city . i do n't think you 're going to be able to avoid him . in fact , i think you 're going to be drawn to him . you wo n't be able to help yourself . nikki : [ sighing ] oh , god . i do n't know what to do . last night , i was so upset , especially with victor 's reaction , i - i - i - i could n't even drive home . i - i just drove around , trying to clear my thoughts . [ knock on door ] paul : yeah , come in . nikki : oh , i 'm sorry . i should go . paul : i will call you later , all right ? nikki : yeah , all right . uh , excuse me . alex : bye . yeah . paul : what do you got ? alex : we 're running plates . paul : did you find the car ? alex : maybe . a camera picked up an s.u.v . just a few miles from the crime scene . it was going in the right direction . the timeframe works , too . paul : all right . good work , alex . so , before the morning 's out , we could have our man . [ scene_break ] adam : have the corneas been delivered ? dr. march : i 'm having them tested now . be right back . adam : so , you feel better now that you met the guy ? chelsea : mm , you were right about dr. march 's credentials . i 'm just kind of stunned that he can get away with using corneas from off the grid . [ sighs shakily ] adam : well , i 'm sure he does n't make a habit of it . i would n't even think of doing this if i felt like it were n't safe for him . chelsea : i know all that , adam . i just -- connor : [ fusses ] chelsea : i think i was kind of thrown off guard before . adam : my mom spent her entire life in darkness . i was blind for several months . i 'm not gon na let that happen to him . [ scene_break ] victoria : hi . nick : hey . victoria : i used your spare key . i hope you do n't mind . nick : of course not . what 's going on ? why are you here so early ? victoria : [ voice breaking ] i have some news . and i just wanted to tell you in person .

[ scene_break ] avery : i know how much it meant to you to be a father . i 'm sorry that was taken from you . dylan : well ... what just happened to billy abbott kind of , you know , puts everything in perspective . avery : why ? what happened to billy ? dylan : his little girl with chloe -- she was killed . avery : oh , my god . delia ? when ? dylan : yeah . it was last night . it was a hit - and - run . avery : i had no idea . dylan : it 's been all over the news . it 's just crazy . avery : i have n't -- i 've been working , and with everything going on lately , i have n't -- oh , my god . that family , what they must be going through -- dylan : exactly . exactly . and as tough as it 's been giving up connor ... uh , he 's alive . he 's giving joy to chelsea , at least . maybe we should change the subject . avery : oh , come on . listen . please , do n't minimize what happened , okay ? yes , i had a miscarriage , and it was a devastating experience . but it does not compare to what chloe and billy are going through right now . dylan : yeah . plenty of pain to go around , i guess . i just -- avery : i know . you 're trying to protect me . i know . dylan : it seems like so many people have lost so much . i just want to hold on tight to the people i care about . avery : i know you do , but ... it 's like you said . we ca n't press a reset button . so much has happened . we 're different people now . dylan : well , i 'd like to get to know this woman better . hi . i 'm dylan . avery : [ chuckles ] hi . i 'm avery .

[ crying ] it was right before she left for the play . [ sniffles ] and she was so excited to wear her costume and to be the wicked witch . [ sobs ] you should have heard her laugh . [ chuckles ] she practiced it ... in the bath , at the breakfast table . she knew every line of her script ... [ sniffles ] ... practically the day after she got it . [ chuckles ] i was so disappointed that i missed the play . billy and i decided that we were gon na throw a party for her . [ sniffles ] i put up the balloons . i made her a poster . [ sighs ] and then , like a stupid idiot , i asked billy to stop for ice cream on the way home ! if -- if -- if they had n't have stopped on that road , if they would have just come straight home -- nick : do n't . do n't do that . victoria : [ sighs , sniffles ] nick : do n't blame yourself . it 's not gon na do anyone any good . victoria : [ sighs ] tell that to billy . he 's -- [ sighs ] he 's beating himself up for leaving dee dee in the car . and i just ache for him . i 'm just -- i 'm searching ... for what to say to him . [ sighs ] and i want to fall apart , but i do n't want to do that in front of billy . nick : that 's understandable . victoria : i 'm supposed to be the strong one ... and to comfort him . it 's just that everything i say seems to make everything worse . [ scene_break ] mary : i 'll expedite things so you can proceed with your plans . billy : thank you . chloe : you know , you got a hell of a nerve , showing up here , trying to act like a dad . i hate that your signature is on anything having to do with my daughter . billy : chloe , you can hate me all you want . but i am done arguing with you . you 're not shutting me out of this . so whatever arrangements need to be made , you and i -- we 're gon na make them together . chloe : [ voice breaking ] really ? so , would you like to suggest ... how i should plan to bury my beautiful little girl ? [ scene_break ] dr. march : [ sighs ] the corneas are n't viable . i 'm afraid we ca n't proceed with surgery . chelsea : no . adam : they 're not viable ? dr. march : they were preserved too long . i would n't recommend using them . i 'm sorry . adam : no , no . hey . i paid a lot of money for the promise that my son would get what he needs . chelsea : adam , it is not his fault . dr. march is not to blame for this . [ crying ] adam : so if this guy 's not to blame , then who is -- the dealer ? chelsea : going after the dealer is not gon na help connor , adam . adam : so tell me what will help him . [ scene_break ] avery : and here we are . dylan : thanks -- uh , thanks for the help . avery : oh , if there 's anything else i can do -- dylan : you 've already helped plenty . avery : well , leslie is gon na be wondering where i am , so i will talk to you soon . dylan : take care . avery : mm - hmm . dylan : [ sighs ] nikki : morning . dylan : uh , good morning . what can i get you ? nikki : um , hot tea , please . dylan : uh , you like the ... herbal . nikki : good memory . dylan : right . well , i 'm just surprised to see you again so soon . the tea here ca n't be that good , can it ? nikki : no . i - i - i mean yes . i mean -- i mean , uh , th - that 's not why i 'm here . i need to talk to you . [ scene_break ] victoria : billy 's so overwhelmed . he just keeps leaving . nick : what do you mean ? victoria : he took off from the hospital after dee dee . jack 's the one who found him . then he went for another long walk after that . and then this morning , after chloe came by in a rage , he just took off again , and he 's not responding to any of my phone calls or my texts or anything ! nick : i 'm sorry this is so hard for you . victoria : it 's just that i - i 'm scared for him , you know ? i 'm scared . he 's isolating himself , and i can feel him pulling away . and last night , he just -- he could n't even bear to be around his son . and chloe was just so hostile and resentful towards both of us , because we have another child . nick : well , i mean , it 's understandable that -- that she 's not thinking clearly right now , but that 's obviously not the right thing to do . victoria : yeah . [ sighs ] it 's understandable . but , in a way , she 's right . billy has johnny ... just like you had noah after cassie died . nick : i never saw it that way . i mean , that did n't help at all ... with the pain , when i lost cassie . victoria : i just wish that billy would hold johnny ... and just see how much he needs him . nick : i - it wo n't help . it wo n't . victoria : [ sighs ] nick : look , delia has not been gone for 24 hours . billy 's in shock . and there 's no magic cure - all for this . i promise you that . it 's like -- do you remember when we thought dad died ... and that ache we felt ? and it did n't go away until he came back to us . this is so much worse . victoria : yeah , because dee dee had her whole life in front of her ... because she 's not coming back . [ sniffles ] nick : billy 's child just passed away , and as a parent , there is nothing in the world worse ... to go through . uh , billy 's gon na have to find a way to deal with this ... in his own time , in his own way . and as much as you love him and want to help him ... vick , the only thing that you can do for billy is to just love him .

[ scene_break ] victoria : thank you for listening . nick : that 's what i 'm here for . come here . victoria : [ sighs ] do you have any advice to help billy ? nick : his world has changed . people are gon na treat him differently . you do n't do that , all right ? you be yourself . you be this beautiful , amazing woman that he loves so much . and if you ever doubt what you 're doing , then just trust your instincts . you and billy are strong . have faith in that . hang on to what you have with everything you 've got . you hang on to it for both of you . and if you do that ... even in the darkest days ... billy will know that you 're there for him . and he will be grateful .

[ scene_break ] paul : the driver who killed delia abbott -- where do things stand ? alex : um , all right . we got surveillance footage from every security camera within a 30-minute window of the crime scene . i got a team working on it , looking for black suvs . now , if the witness who came in last night is right , then that 's the vehicle we 're looking for . paul : okay . what about garages , body shops ? alex : we sent out an alert to the city , suburbs . if someone comes in with any recent front - end damage , they 're instructed to contact us . paul : okay . nikki : paul . when you have a second , i need to talk to you . alex : i ... have to make phone calls . paul : sure . i am so sorry about delia . nikki : please tell me that you 're close to finding her killer . her parents are in hell . they need justice for their little girl . [ scene_break ] billy : i assume you 're here to talk about delia and how i left her alone in the car ... let her run off when i was n't looking . you want to let me have it ? that 's fine . i deserve it . but i promise you you ca n't say anything to me i have n't said about myself a thousand times already . chloe : [ scoffs ] i doubt that very much . victoria : chloe -- chloe : no . i am just still so angry that i do n't even want to be here , okay ? i do n't even want to look at you ! billy : then why did you come ? chloe : because kevin said that i should come here and that i should learn how to deal with you . he thinks it 's the only way that i can move forward . billy : so are you saying you want to forgive me ? [ scene_break ] nick : friends . wow . that 's , uh -- that 's some heavy stuff first thing in the morning . avery : i know . and maybe it 's too much to ask , but ... you know , maybe you could just think about it . nick : well , you were right , you know . we were really good friends at one point . avery : and it would be a shame to lose all that . you know , we 've shared so much together . nick : which is why i do n't know ... how we could do that -- just go back to being friends . [ scene_break ] paul : we are working on this case nonstop . every cop on this force is trying to find the person who was driving that car and see him locked up for leaving the scene . nikki : [ sighs ] oh , another tragic car accident . [ voice breaking ] another little girl lost . paul : i 'm sure this has to bring back a lot of painful memories for you . nikki : oh , my god . delia was such a delight . i loved that child . [ sighs ] but that 's nothing compared to what billy and chloe are going through , and victoria . she loved that child as her own . paul : no , i know . it 's -- it 's such a waste . i mean , even if we do find the driver , the fact is , delia 's gone . nikki : losing a child can haunt you forever ... in ways that you never could predict . [ scene_break ] chloe : forgive you . i ca n't even look at you . billy : okay . then how do we go from here , huh ? our lives have been so entwined for so long . what do we do , huh ? see each other on the street , and we ignore each other ? should i stop getting my coffee at crimson lights ? i imagine you 'll stop coming to my restaurant . who gets gcac ? how do you want to do this ? chloe : oh , i 'm sorry . is this a joke to you ? ! billy : yes . [ sighs ] victoria : of course it 's not a joke . billy is devastated . we all are . chloe : [ crying ] really ? do you know what it 's like to lose a child ? you still have your little boy , and i - i ... just a few hours ago , i was watching a happy , little child onstage in front of an audience of people . and , suddenly , she is gone ! and i have a person asking me what i 'm supposed to do with my child ! so do n't you dare tell me how devastated you are ! [ scene_break ] adam : i guess i 'm just still not 100 % . chelsea : yeah , i noticed . so ... why ? what 's eating you alive like this ? adam : i do n't know . i 'm a father now . i guess everything 's different . chelsea : so this is all about connor ? adam : what else ? chelsea : adam , i know how worried you 've been . but the last thing i knew of , you were rushing off to meet with the black - market donor about finding some corneas . so what happened ? did the meeting go badly ? did he say he could n't help us ? adam : no , no . the meeting went fine . it 's just something that happened afterwards . i ran into billy . he was out at the park . he was all alone ... just wandering around in the middle of the night . chelsea : he was in really bad shape at the hospital . i - i hope you did n't start anything with him . adam : he wanted to ... rip off anyone 's head that would come near him , understandably . i just told him ... how sorry i was and that i felt awful , and then i left . chelsea : good . adam : yeah . good . and not so good . ca n't stop thinking about this guy . he 's ... he 's a young dad . he 's ... got a little girl , and ... then he loses her . i get to come home here , and ... my baby is safe and warm . it 's not fair . chelsea : delia 's death , uh -- i guess it hit you harder than you expected . adam : more than you know .

[ sighs ] [ keyboard clacking ] paul : all this stress is n't good for you , nikki -- delia 's death , not to mention the other issue you 're dealing with . nikki : thank you . you know , after you and i talked last night , i just could n't stop thinking about dylan , so ... i went and saw him at crimson lights . paul : you did ? i mean to -- nikki : to tell him . yeah . paul : well , what happened ? how did it go ? nikki : well ... we were talking , and i started to open up to him . i was this close to telling him i was his mother . paul : what stopped you ? nikki : victor . i had gotten a little emotional , and victor walked in and misunderstood the situation . he blamed dylan for upsetting me , and then he tore into him about avery and nicholas . paul : and i do n't suppose you could get victor to back off . nikki : oh , no . no . the moment was gone . paul : i 'm sorry about that . talk about bad timing , huh ? nikki : well , yes . maybe . or maybe it was the universe jumping in , just telling me to stop , because , obviously , i have n't thought this whole thing through properly . i - i could tell that by the way victor reacted . i mean , what if i had told dylan that i was his mother right before he got the news about delia ? that would have been too much for him . paul : well , i guess the good news is , if you do decide to tell dylan at some point , you can choose your moment , whenever you 're ready . nikki : i do n't know . the more i think about it ... the more i 'm not sure if i ever will be . [ scene_break ] dylan : uh , sorry to interrupt . i was just taking a walk . go ahead . nick : no , it 's -- it 's cool . i got to get another mile in before i go home , anyway . bye . avery : so , are you upset with me about last night ? dylan : uh , why would i be upset ? avery : well , because i came by when you were closing , and then i made a dumb excuse , and i left right away . dylan : uh , you thought you were ready to talk , but you were n't . it 's okay . avery : then why are you upset ? okay . you know what ? it 's none of my business . dylan : no , it 's totally your business . and there 's no other lawyer i 'd rather share this with . [ scene_break ] adam : why would you hesitate for even one second if this transplant can save our son 's eyes ? chelsea : i just -- i -- i just wish we had a better option . adam : and that 's supposed to mean what ? chelsea : i told you . i want to do this the right way . adam : through proper channels ? chelsea : yes ! adam : well , we do n't ha -- you want to -- you want to take a chance ? you want to just wait and hope that maybe corneas come available at the right time ? our son is going blind , and i 'm not taking that chance . i know about the pediatric ophthalmologists at this hospital , and i know about this guy . and i 'm telling you , he 's not some second - rate hatchet - job doctor that 's gon na cut him up on a kitchen table . chelsea : i 'm not saying -- adam : then what 's the problem ? chelsea : the problem is this whole black - market organ thing ! what kind of surgeon would agree to work with these people ? [ sighs ] i just -- i just think that dr. lintz should do the procedure . do n't you want that , too ? adam : he 's probably not gon na want to deal with these corneas . chelsea : exactly ! and why is that ? because it 's illegal , adam ! adam : but the guy that 's doing it is not some hack ! i 've told you that ! he 's done dozens of procedures ! chelsea : then why is he doing this kind of stuff ? adam : i assume it 's for the money , but that does n't change the point , okay ? this guy is gon na be fine . i would not trust my son and his eyesight to some idiot doctor . do you understand me ? look up his background . on the drive over to the hospital , to quell your fears , look that up . but i want you to ask yourself one question . in the end , our son can have a transplant to save his eyesight . do you want that to happen or not ? chelsea : of course i do . adam : then let 's go get our son ready , and let 's get the hell over to the hospital .

[ scene_break ] avery : okay . there may be a loophole we can exploit . dylan : to do what ? avery : to allow you to be part of connor 's life , if that 's what you want . do you ? dylan : what 's done is done . i could fight , but what good would that do anyone ? avery : are you worried about adam and his resources ? dylan : no . no , the only thing that matters is connor . i mean , i do n't want to bring more suffering into his life . it 's bad enough he 's losing his eyesight . he does n't need two dads fighting over him . avery : you 're a good guy . you know that ? dylan : yeah . must be why ... good things keep happening to me . avery : [ sighing ] well ... yeah , the last year has been a roller coaster for you , has n't it ? dylan : it has n't been much easier for you . avery : oh . thanks for reminding me . you know , i wish i could turn the clock back . there 's a lot i would do differently . dylan : if -- if i recall , i was the one who suggested we push the reset button . avery : you did . dylan : only now , i realize i would n't -- i would n't want to . i mean , if this year had never happened , i would have missed out on a lot of things . but mostly ... i never would have known what it was like to be a dad . [ scene_break ] nikki : i want to get to know dylan a little bit better . the little i have spoken to him , i - i like him . i think he 's a good person . but if i were to start insinuating myself and asking questions , i would know what 's going through my mind , and i would shut that down pretty darn quick . paul : you know , nikki ... if you really want to get to know your son , you 'll figure out a way to make it happen . nikki : yeah , and then i 'll blurt the whole thing out one day , and it 'll all fall apart . paul : oh , you do n't know that . nikki : well , based on our conversation last night , it 's obvious he has no idea he 's adopted . i would be the one telling him that the mother who raised him kept a lie her entire life . i would be the one telling him he has a whole other family he never knew existed ! paul : okay , we have been all over this . you can paint any picture you want in your head . nikki : [ sighs ] paul : but you 'll never know the reality ... until you decide to tell him the truth . nikki : i just think it 's too big of a risk . i think the best thing for everybody is to forget all about it and act like i never found out . paul : oh , and you think you can make that happen ? i mean , dylan lives right here in genoa city . i do n't think you 're going to be able to avoid him . in fact , i think you 're going to be drawn to him . you wo n't be able to help yourself . nikki : [ sighing ] oh , god . i do n't know what to do . last night , i was so upset , especially with victor 's reaction , i - i - i - i could n't even drive home . i - i just drove around , trying to clear my thoughts .

nikolas : i do n't know where you got your information , but emily did n't have a sister , twin or otherwise . alexis : the report 's in these records . hank and paige bowen gave birth to twin daughters . given the circumstances of the adoption , it seems reasonable that emily did n't know that she had a twin sister . on the other hand , i believe that rebecca did . which is why she 's here in port charles . [ scene_break ] rebecca : i thought we agreed , no contact once we got to town . ethan : well , a lot has happened . i needed to see you . rebecca : yeah , okay . so is our cover blown ? ethan : no , no . i 'm just -- i 'm just a little off balance . it 's been so long . rebecca : ethan , stop . i 'm sorry . ethan : what 's wrong ?

[ scene_break ] rebecca : you just caught me off guard , that 's all . ethan : i mean , you came to the haunted star to see me , right ? i know you told nikolas that you were following him , but you were awfully surprised to see him . rebecca : okay , yes . i wanted to talk to you , ethan , but you work in a casino . it 's perfectly normal for me to have a conversation with a bartender when he 's pouring me a drink . there 's no reason for you to be here in my room . ethan : really ? i can think of a few . rebecca : listen , you 're the one who told me to keep my eye on the prize , remember ? ethan : a lot has happened . rebecca : all right , then call me . it 's what we agreed on . ethan : some things need to be done face to face . rebecca : okay . listen , you 're the one who said that we have to follow all the rules when we get to port charles or it could all fall apart . have you changed your mind about going through with it ? ethan : actually , i was wondering if you had . [ scene_break ] alexis : that 's the attorney that brokered the sale of hank and paige 's baby . obviously , it was n't his first transaction , and they found a $ 10,000 deposit in bowen 's bank account . after which , there were records of rebecca with the shaw family in opal city , washington . nikolas : opal city ? you 're sure about that ? congratulations , you were very thorough . alexis : why is it that this is n't even registering with you ? nikolas : oh , it will . it will , barring a dna test . look , i have no doubt that this is probably all true . it just does n't change anything for me . alexis : well , it should , because the evidence suggests that she 's setting you up . nikolas : you do n't know that . alexis : you think it 's just a quirk of fate that she 's in washington state , and then just happens to land in upstate new york and work at the same exact place that emily worked at ? nikolas : i 'm just saying i 'm not ready to jump to conclusions . alexis : well , i 'm just saying the fact that you wo n't even consider this a possibility is just mind - boggling . nikolas : alexis , you do n't have any proof that rebecca knows right now that emily had a twin sister . [ scene_break ] rebecca : look , i came to port charles for a piece of what would have been mine if my parents had kept me and sold my sister . but now , it 's like there 's more than i thought . ethan : and we richly deserve it . rebecca : do n't worry , ethan . you 're going to get your cut . but if you blow it by coming in here , then there 's no way i 'm going -- ethan : okay , i 'm not the enemy , remember ? you would have blown this already if not for me . look , do you remember how pissed off we were when the snow storm grounded all the planes and we were stranded in the airport ? it turns out the storm was on our side . rebecca : blue gin fizz , please . ethan : a drink to match your eyes . rebecca : oh , smooth line . except my eyes are brown . ethan : so they are . you know , i would have pegged you for more of a gibson girl myself . rebecca : ah . wrong again . you 're really batting a thousand . ethan : you know , believe it or not , my instincts are actually usually spot - on . rebecca : oh . maybe i 'm just not as easy as most of the women you meet . ethan : that could very well be . rebecca : are you kidding me ? ethan : allow me . rebecca : no , that 's all right . i can pay for myself . rebecca : hey , that 's my wallet . ethan : it was on the floor , honest . it 's okay , you can pay me back when we get into port charles . rebecca : how 'd you know i was going to port charles ? ethan : you also dropped this . rebecca : what ?

[ scene_break ] alexis : you 're in complete denial about this . nikolas : regardless , you have no proof that rebecca came here with malicious intent . alexis : it 's a reasonable conclusion . nikolas : so -- so , what ? you 're suggesting that she discovered that she had a twin sister and came here to do what ? alexis : i have no idea . ask her . nikolas : yeah . personally , i think this information would be as big a shock to her as it is to me . [ alexis sighs ] alexis : there are a million towns in this country . and she just happens to land in emily 's town working at her place ? that 's a one - in - a - million shot . nikolas : things like that happen all the time with twins . they have that odd connection with each other . they often marry spouses with the same first name , lead similar lives , etc . , etc . , etc . alexis : i love you so much . but you just are n't going to get this , are you ? nikolas : she has no agenda . alexis : and what makes you so certain ? nikolas : because we 're close . in the beginning , i might have thought this was true . but not now . when she 's with me , she 's honest , she 's genuine -- alexis : all right . for the sake of argument , let 's just assume the impossible , that rebecca has no idea that emily is her twin . even still , do you really think it 's a good idea to be having an intimate relationship with your dead wife 's twin sister ?

[ rebecca laughs ] rebecca : so play hard to get ? ethan : mm - hmm . yeah . and then , before you know it , they 'll be handing over everything they possess . rebecca : it 's cold . but i think it could work . ethan : only if we 're prepared for every angle . rebecca : no , no , wait , wait , wait . ethan : we have to study up on -- rebecca : wait , hold on `` we ? `` ethan : well , of course . you 're far too green to do this on your own . you need my expertise , and i give it to you . and all i need is a little tiny slice of the pie . ethan : do n't lose your nerve when we 're so close to the payoff , okay ? just keep doing what you 're doing . nothing 's changed . rebecca : then why are you here ?

[ scene_break ] phyllis : thank you . so does it feel any different for you , having daisy gone ? lauren : uh , well , it 's definitely a load off my mind . i know she and ricky were targeting you . you must be incredibly relieved . phyllis : yeah ... kind of . and well , honestly even if i saw her body on a slab , i 'm not sure i would trust it . lauren : you 're right . the carters do have an uncanny knack for returning from the grave , but please god , not this time . i mean , honestly , dead or alive , i really do n't care i just want that horrific woman out of our lives for good . phyllis : well , no one wants that more than i do . i just wish i could be sure . michael : ladies . lauren : hi , honey . michael : hey . lauren : have you been to the station yet ? is paul okay ? michael : um , he 's doing his best to help with the investigation . phyllis : oh , you 're involved . novel . michael : yes , i 'm involved . i 'm the district attorney . phyllis : ( chuckles ) michael : and ronan and i and heather are determined to get to the truth . and i 'm sorry i have to hurry off , but that is exactly why i 'm here . phyllis : well , do n't let us keep you . lauren : okay , honey , good luck . lauren : oh , my god ! did you really have to be so chilly toward him ? i mean , i understand that you 're upset about the allegations against daniel , but do n't you think michael is , too ? phyllis : was it worth it to michael ? i mean , really , is it worth it to leave his practice so he could go chase bad guys ? lauren : ( sighs ) well , there are days , like today , when i seriously wonder that myself . [ scene_break ] detective : mr. baldwin . this is marjorie curtis , the employee who was cleaning the rooms on this floor on the night in question . michael : thank you , detective . ms. curtis , what a pleasure to meet you . i 'm the district attorney . i would just to ask you a few questions . i 'm sure you 've already heard about the tragic incident that took place here . um , the victim was seen exiting his room by that security camera right there . shortly before his death , he walked up to your housekeeping cart and he discarded a newspaper into it . do you remember that ? marjorie : sorry , i do n't -- i do n't know anything . [ scene_break ] daniel : the way you were tearing into me with your questions -- heather : well , i ca n't allow my personal beliefs to affect the way that i do my job , but now that i 'm off the investigation officially , i can honestly say ... i 've never seen you as the kind of person who could hurt anyone . daniel : thank you . heather : i should go . um , have a good one . i will leave you to enjoy your beautiful little girl . daniel : yeah , i apologize if my beautiful little girl her seems a little strange around you , but i think she gets confused around girls , you know ? around women . she 's had about three moms . heather : i bet she misses her mom . daniel : do you -- do you want to hold her ? heather : um , yeah , i 'd -- i 'd like that . daniel : ( grunts ) okay . yeah ? come on . heather : hi . daniel : ( imitates rocket engine ) heather : okay . hi , can i borrow you ? can i borrow you for flying ? is that your muffin ?

( grunts ) victoria : ( sighs ) billy : how can i convince you that there 's nothing to worry about ? victoria : ( sighs ) you know what ? those are the exact words that you used when you brought lucy home . and i 'm not blaming you for my insecurities , okay ? it 's just that i do n't want to come unhinged every time i see chelsea 's face . and when adam told me that they 're engaged , it was like , great , now they 're gon na be here forever . i mean , it 's only a matter of time before she attacks . billy : before she attacks . victoria : yes . billy : even though she consented to the adoption and she has kept her distance ever since ? victoria : before things were finalized , chelsea reminded us about our deal , that she would be allowed to know how johnny is . billy : if she has changed her mind or asked -- has she asked ? victoria : no . no , and you 're right , there is no rational reason for me to react this way . billy : ( sighs ) okay . ( clears throat ) chelsea does not want our son , and if god forbid , she changes her mind , then we will annihilate her in court . i promise you that . johnny is staying with us . that 's not gon na change . now you can choose to live in fear , or you can put this out of your mind and you can enjoy the life that we 've created for ourselves . it 's up to you .

[ scene_break ] adam : all right , i 've been thinking . if we 're gon na get married , gon na start a life together , i do n't want to do it in this hotel . listen , i think we need to find a house , a really great house , that we can call our own . chelsea : ( chuckles ) adam , wow , i - i would love that . um , but i do n't know . on a -- on a bartender 's salary -- adam : hey , whoa . shh , shh , shh . come on . that -- you do n't have to worry about that . the question is , what would you want ? a colonial , a tudor ? a house with a bunch of windows and high ceilings we can hang a bunch of art in ? what ? chelsea : whatever house you 're in is the one i want . [ scene_break ] michael : just a -- just a few more questions . marjorie : i should clock in . my shift is starting . detective : i cleared it with your supervisor . no worries . michael : think again . are you positive you did n't see a newspaper in the garbage bin of your cart ? i 'm sure you 've heard rumors about the young man who was shot and who later fell to his death , but what you may not know is that the person accused of shooting him is the victim 's own father . it is a tragic story , and i am desperately trying to make sure that justice is done for both of these people . if there is anything you can do to help me ... marjorie : the paper was in the trash , which caught my eye , because i always put them in the recycle bin . michael : okay , did you perhaps pick it up , maybe to put it with the recycling ? was there anything odd about when you handled it ? was there maybe something wrapped inside ? marjorie : i found these . [ scene_break ] heather : hi ! hi .

[ scene_break ] nina : ronan , why are you doing this to paul , holding him in jail like some common criminal ? i do n't understand you at all . ronan : no , you do n't ? nina : no ! it was so sweet of you to call me and tell me that paul was in trouble , like you were looking after him , like you knew that he was gon na need me . and i just -- i thought we were on better terms . after that beautiful note that you wrote me , called me `` mom `` for the first time , i ... i just -- i do n't understand . i hear how you grille him , like you 've got some vendetta against him . is this ... ( sighs ) is this about me , because we love one another or something ? ronan : are you serous ? i 'm here doing this job right now , and you 're gon na make this about you ? nina : well , i -- i had to ask , seeing him destroyed like he is . ronan : okay . okay , so obviously , you have a problem with how i conduct my business , but a man is dead , and paul did kill him . whether it was an accident or intentional , i do n't know , but i 'm gon na find out which it is . nina : ( sighs ) ronan : and if you or chris or anybody else has a problem with how i do that , it 's too damn bad . nina : ( sighs ) okay . i can see you have n't changed at all . michael : malloy ? malloy ! you 're not gon na believe what was in that newspaper . daisy 's cell phone , daisy 's wallet . this is what ricky was dumping . ronan : mm - hmm . [ scene_break ] victoria : okay . guess what ? billy : hmm ? victoria : um , i 've taken your advice and i 've called the nanny , who 's gon na watch johnny while we go out and have some serious fun . billy : oh , yeah ? what 's on the agenda ? victoria : well , i was thinking , like , maybe some bloody mary 's someplace lively ... billy : hmm . victoria : the arcade , and then after that , wherever the day takes us . billy : perfect . victoria : fabulous . um , but before we go anywhere , seriously , thank you for everything that you said . you made me feel confident that nothing bad is gon na happen . billy : i am confident . look , vicki , this is our life now . victoria : right . billy : and nobody 's gon na mess with it -- nobody . victoria : nobody . billy : nobody . come here . victoria : nobody .

( sighs ) can we go to gloworm ? adam : yes , i think that 's insane . why you 'd want to go there after what happened last night -- chelsea : because of that . between getting these test results back and being engaged to the most incredible guy in the world , nobody can bring me down , especially not jeff and anita . adam : good for you . chelsea : i do n't know . the more i think about it , maybe i should try to make peace with them . maybe . uh . a lot depends on them , but ...

[ scene_break ] phyllis : thank you . so does it feel any different for you , having daisy gone ? lauren : uh , well , it 's definitely a load off my mind . i know she and ricky were targeting you . you must be incredibly relieved . phyllis : yeah ... kind of . and well , honestly even if i saw her body on a slab , i 'm not sure i would trust it . lauren : you 're right . the carters do have an uncanny knack for returning from the grave , but please god , not this time . i mean , honestly , dead or alive , i really do n't care i just want that horrific woman out of our lives for good . phyllis : well , no one wants that more than i do . i just wish i could be sure . michael : ladies . lauren : hi , honey . michael : hey . lauren : have you been to the station yet ? is paul okay ? michael : um , he 's doing his best to help with the investigation . phyllis : oh , you 're involved . novel . michael : yes , i 'm involved . i 'm the district attorney . phyllis : ( chuckles ) michael : and ronan and i and heather are determined to get to the truth . and i 'm sorry i have to hurry off , but that is exactly why i 'm here . phyllis : well , do n't let us keep you . lauren : okay , honey , good luck . lauren : oh , my god ! did you really have to be so chilly toward him ? i mean , i understand that you 're upset about the allegations against daniel , but do n't you think michael is , too ? phyllis : was it worth it to michael ? i mean , really , is it worth it to leave his practice so he could go chase bad guys ? lauren : ( sighs ) well , there are days , like today , when i seriously wonder that myself . [ scene_break ] detective : mr. baldwin . this is marjorie curtis , the employee who was cleaning the rooms on this floor on the night in question . michael : thank you , detective . ms. curtis , what a pleasure to meet you . i 'm the district attorney . i would just to ask you a few questions . i 'm sure you 've already heard about the tragic incident that took place here . um , the victim was seen exiting his room by that security camera right there . shortly before his death , he walked up to your housekeeping cart and he discarded a newspaper into it . do you remember that ? marjorie : sorry , i do n't -- i do n't know anything . [ scene_break ] daniel : the way you were tearing into me with your questions -- heather : well , i ca n't allow my personal beliefs to affect the way that i do my job , but now that i 'm off the investigation officially , i can honestly say ... i 've never seen you as the kind of person who could hurt anyone . daniel : thank you . heather : i should go . um , have a good one . i will leave you to enjoy your beautiful little girl . daniel : yeah , i apologize if my beautiful little girl her seems a little strange around you , but i think she gets confused around girls , you know ? around women . she 's had about three moms . heather : i bet she misses her mom . daniel : do you -- do you want to hold her ? heather : um , yeah , i 'd -- i 'd like that . daniel : ( grunts ) okay . yeah ? come on . heather : hi . daniel : ( imitates rocket engine ) heather : okay . hi , can i borrow you ? can i borrow you for flying ? is that your muffin ?

( grunts ) victoria : ( sighs ) billy : how can i convince you that there 's nothing to worry about ? victoria : ( sighs ) you know what ? those are the exact words that you used when you brought lucy home . and i 'm not blaming you for my insecurities , okay ? it 's just that i do n't want to come unhinged every time i see chelsea 's face . and when adam told me that they 're engaged , it was like , great , now they 're gon na be here forever . i mean , it 's only a matter of time before she attacks . billy : before she attacks . victoria : yes . billy : even though she consented to the adoption and she has kept her distance ever since ? victoria : before things were finalized , chelsea reminded us about our deal , that she would be allowed to know how johnny is . billy : if she has changed her mind or asked -- has she asked ? victoria : no . no , and you 're right , there is no rational reason for me to react this way . billy : ( sighs ) okay . ( clears throat ) chelsea does not want our son , and if god forbid , she changes her mind , then we will annihilate her in court . i promise you that . johnny is staying with us . that 's not gon na change . now you can choose to live in fear , or you can put this out of your mind and you can enjoy the life that we 've created for ourselves . it 's up to you .

[ scene_break ] adam : all right , i 've been thinking . if we 're gon na get married , gon na start a life together , i do n't want to do it in this hotel . listen , i think we need to find a house , a really great house , that we can call our own . chelsea : ( chuckles ) adam , wow , i - i would love that . um , but i do n't know . on a -- on a bartender 's salary -- adam : hey , whoa . shh , shh , shh . come on . that -- you do n't have to worry about that . the question is , what would you want ? a colonial , a tudor ? a house with a bunch of windows and high ceilings we can hang a bunch of art in ? what ? chelsea : whatever house you 're in is the one i want . [ scene_break ] michael : just a -- just a few more questions . marjorie : i should clock in . my shift is starting . detective : i cleared it with your supervisor . no worries . michael : think again . are you positive you did n't see a newspaper in the garbage bin of your cart ? i 'm sure you 've heard rumors about the young man who was shot and who later fell to his death , but what you may not know is that the person accused of shooting him is the victim 's own father . it is a tragic story , and i am desperately trying to make sure that justice is done for both of these people . if there is anything you can do to help me ... marjorie : the paper was in the trash , which caught my eye , because i always put them in the recycle bin . michael : okay , did you perhaps pick it up , maybe to put it with the recycling ? was there anything odd about when you handled it ? was there maybe something wrapped inside ? marjorie : i found these .

[ scene_break ] nina : ronan , why are you doing this to paul , holding him in jail like some common criminal ? i do n't understand you at all . ronan : no , you do n't ? nina : no ! it was so sweet of you to call me and tell me that paul was in trouble , like you were looking after him , like you knew that he was gon na need me . and i just -- i thought we were on better terms . after that beautiful note that you wrote me , called me `` mom `` for the first time , i ... i just -- i do n't understand . i hear how you grille him , like you 've got some vendetta against him . is this ... ( sighs ) is this about me , because we love one another or something ? ronan : are you serous ? i 'm here doing this job right now , and you 're gon na make this about you ? nina : well , i -- i had to ask , seeing him destroyed like he is . ronan : okay . okay , so obviously , you have a problem with how i conduct my business , but a man is dead , and paul did kill him . whether it was an accident or intentional , i do n't know , but i 'm gon na find out which it is . nina : ( sighs ) ronan : and if you or chris or anybody else has a problem with how i do that , it 's too damn bad . nina : ( sighs ) okay . i can see you have n't changed at all . michael : malloy ? malloy ! you 're not gon na believe what was in that newspaper . daisy 's cell phone , daisy 's wallet . this is what ricky was dumping . ronan : mm - hmm .

[ scene_break ] zach : that maybe what ? i will always think about her , think whether she 's healthy or not , or she 's growing or not , whether she 's happy or not , what her voice sounds like , what her laugh sounds like , and how beautiful she is . i 'm always going to think about that . i know i was n't supposed to get involved and get attached . but it did n't work out that way . and even now , when she 's thousands of miles away , i will always think about her . she 'll be right here with me . kendall : well , if you miss her so much , maybe you should go to her . better yet , find reese , and take her with you . zach : oh , god . do you ever listen to anything i say ? no , right ? i do n't want reese . i 've told you that . i want you . i love you . and regardless of where we are right now , what we 're going through , that 's never going to change . you can either fight it , keep pushing me away , or not . your choice .

[ woman ] i do n't really know what makes it so me , sandy : so , what were you in the mood for ? lizzie : answers . now start talking . sandy : well , tammy saw you pay off that fake rec - exec guy at the beach , and she 's telling joey all about it right now . joey : how did you get this picture ? tammy : it 's not like i was following you guys or anything . i mean , i just happened to be at the beach at the same time , you know . you remember ? and then i saw lizzie get this guy alone and hand him a serious wad of cash . joey : and you just snapped a picture of it . tammy : because i thought you might not believe me without proof . joey , i 'm as freaked out as you are . i mean , for lizzie to concoct such an elaborate lie , it 's twisted . joey : yeah . tammy : and that guy , i do n't even know who he is . probably her gardener or something . but for her to try to play it off like he 's some big - shot producer . joey : tammy ... tammy : i 'm so sorry , joey . i know you got your hopes up and you thought he really liked your music and you had a shot . joey : tammy ? tammy : what ? joey : what did i ever do to you to make you hate me so much ? michelle : you know , i thought we could be friends , too . now you 're giving me the run around just like everyone else in this town . olivia : all right . maybe i do have some minor plans in the pipeline . maybe not so minor . but i ca n't tell you anything . so do n't ask . michelle : i do n't really care . i just think it 's really cool that you 're doing your own thing . olivia : ( laughs ) nobody has said that to me before . michelle : well , you seem to know what you want and you go after it . it 's what i 'm trying to do anyway . olivia : so what 's stopping you ? michelle : not knowing what i want and my brother rick and danny treating me like i ca n't think for myself . you know , if danny could be more like phillip . olivia : whoa . no , no , no . do n't say that . do n't ever say those words out loud . michelle : no , i just mean that phillip knows that your a force to reckon with , you know . i mean how did you get there ? how did you get him to treat you like an equal ? olivia : i acted like it . phillip : yes , danny , i 'm threatened by you . ( laughs ) it 's always good to end with a joke . i 'll tell you what . here 's my contribution . if you 're that hard up for cash , check the want ads . danny : are they day before or after that item on your tanking stock ? tony : what was that about ? danny : nothing . i just made a mistake of thinking that i could do business with phillip spaulding . tony : you want to do business with phillip spaulding ? danny , you ca n't stand the guy . danny : so what ? so what ? it 's business . i 'm looking to sell those last few vacant lots on 5th street . i thought maybe it 'll be something up his alley . tony : okay , hold a second . hold on . you said that you were going to hang on to the property for awhile . no ? danny : yeah , i changed my mind . tony : okay , you need cash ? is that it ? if that 's the story , danny , listen , let me help you , all right . i can help . danny : i think you helped me enough lately , tony . do n't you ? tony : danny , do n't go into that michelle thing , again , all right . danny : how are you going to help me ? you going to pay phillip a visit , convince him that he made a mistake by turning me down ? tony : no , i was going to offer you a job . a legitimate job . great money . completely on the up and up . for how long you want it it 's yours , all right ? so come work for me . danny : ( laughs ) oh , boy . not in this lifetime . jeffrey : okay . harley : jeffery o'neill . i thought that was you . jeffrey : oh , how are you doing ? listen , i ca n't right now , okay . harley : well , slow down . slow down . jeffrey : listen . i 've got to go . i got something i got to do . it 's important . harley : so is this ! ( knocking ) dinah : daddy . i was getting worried . is everything all right ? ross : no , everything is not all right , dinah . in fact , you have to leave springfield and you have to do it today . coming up on `` guiding light `` ... michelle : that 's what i hate . danny : what ? what 's your problem ? michelle : you lying to me right to my face . jeffrey : now you listen to me . you 're the one who better watch out , sweetie . because you try to cross me , you 'll wish you were back in that cell that i dragged you out of . you got it ? [ child ] know what feels good ? [ woman ] for years , the kids ... oprah : held captive by her husband , next `` oprah . `` ross : sweetheart , it is just not safe for you to be here anymore . dinah : what are you talking about ? nobody knows i 'm even here , daddy . ross : but jeffrey o'neill has a pretty good idea . in fact , he was pumping me for information about you earlier today . dinah : when i called you and then you said it was a bad time ? ross : yeah . i had a hunch that he was going to follow me here , so i led him on a wild goose chase through the park and sure enough , he was tailing me . i lost him . but somehow , someway , he knows that you 're here . so you have to leave while you still can . i know . honey , i hate it , too . i thought i would never see you again . so having you here even for this short time , it 's just such a gift . dinah : for me , too . ross : it all comes down to this . i would rather miss you then have to visit you in a prison . so will you go ? dinah : daddy , come on . come on , we 've got to figure this out . there 's got to be a way to figure this out . ross : if it was anyone else but o'neill , i would say yes , stay , we 'll take our chances . but i know this man . and when jeffrey o'neill get fixed on something , he does not let it go , which means we have to . jeffrey : do you mind ? okay . sorry . go ahead . you 've got 15 seconds . harley : okay , here . my father received this charming bit of bad news today . as though the cooper family has n't suffered enough . but look , it 's a letter from the state claiming ... look . jeffrey : eminent domain . yes , i know what it is . i can see . thank you . so . harley : so i want you to do something about this . jeffrey : like what ? say life is unfair and throw a fit like you 're doing . harley : i am not . i 'm juts saying i do n't think this is it . is n't there an appeal ? do n't we get some sort of hearing ? jeffrey : there may or not be an appeal or hearing . but that depends . this is out my bailiwick . you 're going to have to get a lawyer who knows something about real estate and property law . harley : so even if you wanted to help , you could n't ? is that what you 're saying to me ? jeffrey : that 's what i 'm saying . harley : you are the district attorney of this town . you know everybody in local government . you 're a federal agent . and there 's not one single little string that you could pull to do something about this . jeffrey : i 'm sorry . harley : who cares if i put myself on the line for you . who cares if i put my very life on the line for you literally . who cares if i helped you bust a drug ring or put a major mob boss behind bars . which by the way you could n't do without me . you used me and now you wo n't lift a finger to help me . is that what you 're saying to me ? jeffrey : coop , will you take it easy ? harley : you 're such a selfish jerk . if it was n't for you , gus would never been in the position he was in . he would have never been forced to make the choice that he made if it was n't for you ! he would have made the same choice and he still would have chosen the spauldings over me . tammy : i do n't hate you , joey . i care about you . that 's why -- joey : you went out of your way to purposely hurt me ? tammy : the opposite . i was trying to keep you from getting hurt . joey : right . tammy , do you know where lizzie and i just were ? we were at that fake record exec 's office . yeah , the guy who brought all my cd 's for me . his name is ron adams and he 's an a & r guy at circle records , tammy . yeah , that 's where we just were at his office and everything . tammy : no . joey : yeah . he 's the real deal , tammy . i mean he 's a small fish at circle . he 's not some big guy on the totem pole , but that 's good . that means he 's hungry . it means he wants a bite just as big as i do . tammy : joey ... joey : yeah , tammy , it 's incredible , is n't it ? it 's amazing , really that someone could actually just like my music without being paid to , because they actually thought i was good . tammy : i know your music is good . it 's amazing . but when i saw lizzie hand that guy the cash . well , so , what did she give him the money for then ? joey : i do n't know , tammy . but the better question is , why do you care ? i mean one minute you 're all over me and the next you 're just ripping into me . tammy : what ? i never -- joey : it 's like you 're hot , you 're cold , you 're hot , you 're cold . when i was with you , tammy , i thought you were it . you know , i totally believed in you and i thought you believed in me , too . tammy : i did . joey : before i met you , i was n't going anywhere and you had faith in me . just changed everything . tammy : i still do have faith in you , joey . joey : yeah , right ? you know , i thought lizzie was a game player . she 's got nothing on you , babe . sandy : so it does n't bother you at all that you stole joey away from tammy ? lizzie : people are n't objects , sandy . you ca n't just steal them . they go where they want to go and they do what they want to do . no , if you 'll excuse me . i think joey might need me , okay . olivia : oh , lizzie , of course . i just saw tammy and joey outside . they look absolutely miserable and i 'm sure it 's thanks to you . lizzie : olivia , i almost did n't even recognize you . you look so small and unattractive now that you 're not a spaulding anymore . olivia : fess up , it 's your handiwork , right ? lizzie : just because he 's mad at her does n't mean it 's my fault . olivia : no , no , no . it never is . look i do n't know what you did or tried to do , but they look so much in love . tammy : sorry . i never meant -- i 'm sorry . lizzie : are you okay ? joey : give me one good reason why i should n't dust you off for good . tony : i see . so somebody offers you a job and you turn them down cold without even thinking about it . you think that 's rude ? danny : not just somebody , tony . it 's you . tony : even worse , danny . i 'm family . danny : why do n't you start acting like it ? and do n't insult me by telling me that this job would be legit . that 's bull and you know it . nothing you 're involved in is legit . you would n't be working for me . danny : okay , explain it for me . tony : well , you would be running a very classy new restaurant for a guy that i met last night . danny : a guy who will paying you for protection , and maybe you 'll use his basement every now and then to store some stuff that happen to fall off a truck . tony : i would n't do that to you , danny . i know you want to be clean . danny : what , did you think i would just jump at this offer of yours , tony ? tony : hey , i thought you would at least consider it , yeah . danny : so you could come off looking like a big hero to michelle again ? tony : there you go . how many times do i have to tell you ? i am not interested in michelle . at all . all right ? the only reason i spent time with her , danny , was because you asked me to . you were desperate . you needed me . danny : i also asked you to back off , did n't i ? tony : she wo n't leave me alone , man . danny : because you 're the only person she remembers , tony . tony : hey , you know what ? to be honest with you , i wish she did n't remember me . i wish she remembered you . okay , i do . and i know this is difficult for you and look , all i 'm trying to say is if i wanted michelle ... ah , forget it . forget it . danny : if you wanted michelle , what ? you could have her ? tony : no , that 's not what i was going to say . danny : what were you going to say ? tony : i was going to say to you , you know what ? if i wanted michelle , danny , you would n't even see it coming . michelle : what 's going on ? want to help dry skin naturally ? harley : why do i have do this in front you of all people ? jeffrey : because you know jeffrey : because you know what a sensitive guy i am . okay , because ... because you know i would n't care , hmm ? because i don't . your business with gus is your business , not mine . harley : please do n't say his name . jeffrey : you 're the one who brought him up . harley : well , it does n't mean i want you to bring him up again . jeffrey : look , if you want to blame me for all your romantic woes , go right ahead , okay . it seems like i 'm the problem for everyone in this town . harley : yeah , let 's change the subject . bu the way what are you planning to do about , danny ? everybody in town now thinks he 's a murderer ? jeffrey : it 's being taken care of . harley : well , what does that mean ? jeffrey : that means it 's being taken care , all right . i 'm handling it , okay . i 'm handling that . i 'm handling cassie . i 'm handling the whole thing ! harley : cassie ? why ? what did you do to cassie ? jeffrey : nothing yet , but the day is young . now about this letter that buzz got . harley : oh , please , please . it 's not in your baili - whatever . i do n't want you to break a sweat over it . jeffrey : knowing you , you 're going to see the president of the new springfield corporation and you 're going to give him what for , right ? harley : and possibly do bodily harm , yes . jeffrey : okay . well , if i were the attorney for the new springfield corporation and i found that you were going to come to cause problems for my client , i would advise my client not to meet with you anytime soon , okay . but if i got a call and i found out that you were happy to discuss terms , i would probably tell my client , `` yes , well , maybe we should meet with her . `` just a thought , okay ? ross : dinah , i wish it did n't have to end like this . dinah : daddy ... ross : i wish that you could stay here forever . dinah : would you put that away . stop . ross : i want you to take this . i want you to take it all . i have a feeling you 're going to need it . dinah : well , thank you . i appreciate it . ross : it 's the least i can do . i mean , if i had been there when your life was spinning out of control , i would have seen to it that you got the help that you needed and we probably would n't be here right now . dinah : just do n't do that . do n't do that . i made the mistake , not you . and i 'm paying for it . ross : do you know how proud i am of you ? vanessa and i both are . dinah : yeah , you got a real prize here . ross : you are . you lost your way for awhile , but you 've come out of it . and now you 're once again the wonderful young woman that i love and i admire . we both know that there 's a chance that i wo n't see again . but i know that you 'll be free and i have to find some ... some comfort in that . i love you . dinah : i love you , too . ross : whatever happens , wherever you go , you 'll always be my little girl . i 'll think about you everyday . dinah : same here . everyday . bye . ross : bye . lizzie : what did i do this time ? joey : lizzie , ron adams . okay , the a & r guy from circle records , did you pay him to show up at the beach and buy my cd 's ? lizzie : where would you get an idea like that ? oh , wait . that 's right . tammy . joey : lizzie , did you or did n't you ? lizzie : no , i did not pay him to say to say that he liked your music . but i did tell him i would put a good word in for him with my dad and my grandfather . i just knew that if he heard it , he would blown away . and he was . joey : and you did n't pay him any money ? lizzie : absolutely not . joey : tammy has a picture of it . lizzie : oh , wait , you know , right . you 're right . i did . okay , he parked at the beacon and he needed money . he had a $ 20 , so i gave him some singles to pay for valet . but just on that , tammy got the idea that ... man , she has an imagination . look , joey , i 'm sorry for pulling strings on your behalf , okay . i was just trying to help you . i 'm sorry . and it will never happen again . so , are we cool ? joey : yeah , we 're cool . phillip : hello , tammy . tammy ? are you all right ? is there anything i can do ? tammy : you can make joey like me again . forget i said that . i have to go . phillip : wait a minute . by joey , are you referring to joey lupo , that ball player whose been hanging around lizzie ? tammy : only because lizzie ... phillip : what ? tammy : never mind . phillip : no , no , no . go ahead . you can say it . what ? tammy : she 's your daughter . you wo n't like it . but you know what ? i 'm going to say it anyway . joey comes from a poor family , okay ? and lizzie , well , in my opinion she sort of bought his friendship . phillip : how so ? tammy : how so is that she throws money at him right and left . she even paid some guy off to buy all these cd 's off of him . phillip : and so what you 're saying is that the only reason that this kid lupo is interested in my daughter is because of her money ? tammy : i 'm saying that lizzie ... phillip : i hear what you 're saying , tammy . thank you for the information . i appreciate that . tammy : no , but what i 'm saying ... phillip : honey ? honey ? lizzie : hi , daddy . what 's up ? phillip : oh , not much . what 's up with you ? where are you ? lizzie : at company with joey . phillip : oh , joey 's there . that 's great . put him on . lizzie : what ? phillip : put your friend on , honey . i want to talk to him . lizzie : okay . joey , my dad wants to talk to you . joey : me ? why ? mr . spaulding ? phillip : joey , hi . you know , i 've decided that you and i need to get better acquainted . i want you to come out to the house for a meal sometime . i 'll have my secretary call and give you the details . joey : um , okay . guess who 's coming to dinner ? harley : okay , jeffrey o'neill was dead on . i called the new springfield corporation , told them that we were eager to sell . we have meeting set up for this afternoon . buzz : with ? harley : with the ceo himself . he 's meeting us at the beacon in half an hour . and boy is he in for a fight . michelle : so what are you two guys arguing about now ? danny : nothing . we weren't . michelle : i 'm not stupid . you look like you 're ready to kill each other . danny : no , we did n't , michelle . tony offered me a job , i turned him down . michelle : what kind of job ? danny : i do n't know . what was it ? managing some restaurant ? michelle : well , why did you turn it down ? tony : because i guess he 's too good for it . danny : ( laughs ) please . tony : have a good day ? michelle : why did you turn down the job ? danny : because , michelle , that 's not something i 'm interested in , managing a restaurant . i own real estate . i 've got a lot of deals in the works . michelle : and would n't it be nice to have some extra cash coming in ? danny : why ? we 're fine with money . come on , let 's get out of here . michelle : see . that 's it . that 's it right there . that 's what i hate . danny : what ? what 's your problem ? michelle : you lying to me right to my face . from monistat comes the one - dose ovule , love the fragrance of an electric air freshener ? joey : why do you think your dad wants me to come to dinner ? lizzie : he wants to probably find out what your intentions are with me , and if he does n't like your answers , he 's going to beat you up . i 'm just kidding , joey . it 's just dinner . it 's no big deal . joey : yes , yes . see that 's what tammy said to me when i had dinner with her mom and edmund for the first time . it was a total disaster . lizzie : maybe she just did n't handle it right . joey : no , she handled it okay . i mean , afterwards , she took me aside and she told me , well , that , no matter what anyone else thought that she 'd always ... i got to get going . lizzie : no , joey , it 's okay . i 'll take care of it . do n't worry . joey : see you later , lizzie . lizzie : i 'll take care of everything . michelle : i know about the overdue loans , okay . danny : ah - huh . michelle : i saw the unpaid notices underneath the newspaper where you hid them , like you hide everything from me . danny : okay , first of all , i was n't hiding them . i just did n't feel like it was something i needed to bother you with . it 's a temporary situation . it 's not a big deal . michelle : well , then until it 's resolved , why do n't you take the job tony offered you ? danny : you know what ? i 'm not going to have this conversation here . do you want to continue this outside , be my guest . michelle : take the job . danny : no . michelle : why not ? danny : because , michelle , it 's a step backward to a place i do n't want to go . michelle : and why do you care ? everyone thinks you 're in the mob anyway . danny : that 's unbelievable . really . you do n't understand now . but -- michelle : what ? i would have ? is that what you were going ? i would have if i had n't lost my memory ?

( laughs ) it 's always good to end with a joke . i 'll tell you what . here 's my contribution . if you 're that hard up for cash , check the want ads . danny : are they day before or after that item on your tanking stock ? tony : what was that about ? danny : nothing . i just made a mistake of thinking that i could do business with phillip spaulding . tony : you want to do business with phillip spaulding ? danny , you ca n't stand the guy . danny : so what ? so what ? it 's business . i 'm looking to sell those last few vacant lots on 5th street . i thought maybe it 'll be something up his alley . tony : okay , hold a second . hold on . you said that you were going to hang on to the property for awhile . no ? danny : yeah , i changed my mind . tony : okay , you need cash ? is that it ? if that 's the story , danny , listen , let me help you , all right . i can help . danny : i think you helped me enough lately , tony . do n't you ? tony : danny , do n't go into that michelle thing , again , all right . danny : how are you going to help me ? you going to pay phillip a visit , convince him that he made a mistake by turning me down ? tony : no , i was going to offer you a job . a legitimate job . great money . completely on the up and up . for how long you want it it 's yours , all right ? so come work for me . danny : ( laughs ) oh , boy . not in this lifetime . jeffrey : okay . harley : jeffery o'neill . i thought that was you . jeffrey : oh , how are you doing ? listen , i ca n't right now , okay . harley : well , slow down . slow down . jeffrey : listen . i 've got to go . i got something i got to do . it 's important . harley : so is this ! ( knocking ) dinah : daddy . i was getting worried . is everything all right ? ross : no , everything is not all right , dinah . in fact , you have to leave springfield and you have to do it today . coming up on `` guiding light `` ... michelle : that 's what i hate . danny : what ? what 's your problem ? michelle : you lying to me right to my face . jeffrey : now you listen to me . you 're the one who better watch out , sweetie . because you try to cross me , you 'll wish you were back in that cell that i dragged you out of . you got it ? [ child ] know what feels good ? [ woman ] for years , the kids ... oprah : held captive by her husband , next `` oprah . `` ross : sweetheart , it is just not safe for you to be here anymore . dinah : what are you talking about ? nobody knows i 'm even here , daddy . ross : but jeffrey o'neill has a pretty good idea . in fact , he was pumping me for information about you earlier today . dinah : when i called you and then you said it was a bad time ? ross : yeah . i had a hunch that he was going to follow me here , so i led him on a wild goose chase through the park and sure enough , he was tailing me . i lost him . but somehow , someway , he knows that you 're here . so you have to leave while you still can . i know . honey , i hate it , too . i thought i would never see you again . so having you here even for this short time , it 's just such a gift . dinah : for me , too . ross : it all comes down to this . i would rather miss you then have to visit you in a prison . so will you go ? dinah : daddy , come on . come on , we 've got to figure this out . there 's got to be a way to figure this out . ross : if it was anyone else but o'neill , i would say yes , stay , we 'll take our chances . but i know this man . and when jeffrey o'neill get fixed on something , he does not let it go , which means we have to . jeffrey : do you mind ? okay . sorry . go ahead . you 've got 15 seconds . harley : okay , here . my father received this charming bit of bad news today . as though the cooper family has n't suffered enough . but look , it 's a letter from the state claiming ... look . jeffrey : eminent domain . yes , i know what it is . i can see . thank you . so . harley : so i want you to do something about this . jeffrey : like what ? say life is unfair and throw a fit like you 're doing . harley : i am not . i 'm juts saying i do n't think this is it . is n't there an appeal ? do n't we get some sort of hearing ? jeffrey : there may or not be an appeal or hearing . but that depends . this is out my bailiwick . you 're going to have to get a lawyer who knows something about real estate and property law . harley : so even if you wanted to help , you could n't ? is that what you 're saying to me ? jeffrey : that 's what i 'm saying . harley : you are the district attorney of this town . you know everybody in local government . you 're a federal agent . and there 's not one single little string that you could pull to do something about this . jeffrey : i 'm sorry . harley : who cares if i put myself on the line for you . who cares if i put my very life on the line for you literally . who cares if i helped you bust a drug ring or put a major mob boss behind bars . which by the way you could n't do without me . you used me and now you wo n't lift a finger to help me . is that what you 're saying to me ? jeffrey : coop , will you take it easy ? harley : you 're such a selfish jerk . if it was n't for you , gus would never been in the position he was in . he would have never been forced to make the choice that he made if it was n't for you ! he would have made the same choice and he still would have chosen the spauldings over me . tammy : i do n't hate you , joey . i care about you . that 's why -- joey : you went out of your way to purposely hurt me ? tammy : the opposite . i was trying to keep you from getting hurt . joey : right . tammy , do you know where lizzie and i just were ? we were at that fake record exec 's office . yeah , the guy who brought all my cd 's for me . his name is ron adams and he 's an a & r guy at circle records , tammy . yeah , that 's where we just were at his office and everything . tammy : no . joey : yeah . he 's the real deal , tammy . i mean he 's a small fish at circle . he 's not some big guy on the totem pole , but that 's good . that means he 's hungry . it means he wants a bite just as big as i do . tammy : joey ... joey : yeah , tammy , it 's incredible , is n't it ? it 's amazing , really that someone could actually just like my music without being paid to , because they actually thought i was good . tammy : i know your music is good . it 's amazing . but when i saw lizzie hand that guy the cash . well , so , what did she give him the money for then ? joey : i do n't know , tammy . but the better question is , why do you care ? i mean one minute you 're all over me and the next you 're just ripping into me . tammy : what ? i never -- joey : it 's like you 're hot , you 're cold , you 're hot , you 're cold . when i was with you , tammy , i thought you were it . you know , i totally believed in you and i thought you believed in me , too . tammy : i did . joey : before i met you , i was n't going anywhere and you had faith in me . just changed everything . tammy : i still do have faith in you , joey . joey : yeah , right ? you know , i thought lizzie was a game player . she 's got nothing on you , babe . sandy : so it does n't bother you at all that you stole joey away from tammy ? lizzie : people are n't objects , sandy . you ca n't just steal them . they go where they want to go and they do what they want to do . no , if you 'll excuse me . i think joey might need me , okay . olivia : oh , lizzie , of course . i just saw tammy and joey outside . they look absolutely miserable and i 'm sure it 's thanks to you . lizzie : olivia , i almost did n't even recognize you . you look so small and unattractive now that you 're not a spaulding anymore . olivia : fess up , it 's your handiwork , right ? lizzie : just because he 's mad at her does n't mean it 's my fault . olivia : no , no , no . it never is . look i do n't know what you did or tried to do , but they look so much in love . tammy : sorry . i never meant -- i 'm sorry . lizzie : are you okay ? joey : give me one good reason why i should n't dust you off for good . tony : i see . so somebody offers you a job and you turn them down cold without even thinking about it . you think that 's rude ? danny : not just somebody , tony . it 's you . tony : even worse , danny . i 'm family . danny : why do n't you start acting like it ? and do n't insult me by telling me that this job would be legit . that 's bull and you know it . nothing you 're involved in is legit . you would n't be working for me . danny : okay , explain it for me . tony : well , you would be running a very classy new restaurant for a guy that i met last night . danny : a guy who will paying you for protection , and maybe you 'll use his basement every now and then to store some stuff that happen to fall off a truck . tony : i would n't do that to you , danny . i know you want to be clean . danny : what , did you think i would just jump at this offer of yours , tony ? tony : hey , i thought you would at least consider it , yeah . danny : so you could come off looking like a big hero to michelle again ? tony : there you go . how many times do i have to tell you ? i am not interested in michelle . at all . all right ? the only reason i spent time with her , danny , was because you asked me to . you were desperate . you needed me . danny : i also asked you to back off , did n't i ? tony : she wo n't leave me alone , man . danny : because you 're the only person she remembers , tony . tony : hey , you know what ? to be honest with you , i wish she did n't remember me . i wish she remembered you . okay , i do . and i know this is difficult for you and look , all i 'm trying to say is if i wanted michelle ... ah , forget it . forget it . danny : if you wanted michelle , what ? you could have her ? tony : no , that 's not what i was going to say . danny : what were you going to say ? tony : i was going to say to you , you know what ? if i wanted michelle , danny , you would n't even see it coming . michelle : what 's going on ? want to help dry skin naturally ? harley : why do i have do this in front you of all people ? jeffrey : because you know jeffrey : because you know what a sensitive guy i am . okay , because ... because you know i would n't care , hmm ? because i don't . your business with gus is your business , not mine . harley : please do n't say his name . jeffrey : you 're the one who brought him up . harley : well , it does n't mean i want you to bring him up again . jeffrey : look , if you want to blame me for all your romantic woes , go right ahead , okay . it seems like i 'm the problem for everyone in this town . harley : yeah , let 's change the subject . bu the way what are you planning to do about , danny ? everybody in town now thinks he 's a murderer ? jeffrey : it 's being taken care of . harley : well , what does that mean ? jeffrey : that means it 's being taken care , all right . i 'm handling it , okay . i 'm handling that . i 'm handling cassie . i 'm handling the whole thing ! harley : cassie ? why ? what did you do to cassie ? jeffrey : nothing yet , but the day is young . now about this letter that buzz got . harley : oh , please , please . it 's not in your baili - whatever . i do n't want you to break a sweat over it . jeffrey : knowing you , you 're going to see the president of the new springfield corporation and you 're going to give him what for , right ? harley : and possibly do bodily harm , yes . jeffrey : okay . well , if i were the attorney for the new springfield corporation and i found that you were going to come to cause problems for my client , i would advise my client not to meet with you anytime soon , okay . but if i got a call and i found out that you were happy to discuss terms , i would probably tell my client , `` yes , well , maybe we should meet with her . `` just a thought , okay ? ross : dinah , i wish it did n't have to end like this . dinah : daddy ... ross : i wish that you could stay here forever . dinah : would you put that away . stop . ross : i want you to take this . i want you to take it all . i have a feeling you 're going to need it . dinah : well , thank you . i appreciate it . ross : it 's the least i can do . i mean , if i had been there when your life was spinning out of control , i would have seen to it that you got the help that you needed and we probably would n't be here right now . dinah : just do n't do that . do n't do that . i made the mistake , not you . and i 'm paying for it . ross : do you know how proud i am of you ? vanessa and i both are . dinah : yeah , you got a real prize here . ross : you are . you lost your way for awhile , but you 've come out of it . and now you 're once again the wonderful young woman that i love and i admire . we both know that there 's a chance that i wo n't see again . but i know that you 'll be free and i have to find some ... some comfort in that . i love you . dinah : i love you , too . ross : whatever happens , wherever you go , you 'll always be my little girl . i 'll think about you everyday . dinah : same here . everyday . bye . ross : bye . lizzie : what did i do this time ? joey : lizzie , ron adams . okay , the a & r guy from circle records , did you pay him to show up at the beach and buy my cd 's ? lizzie : where would you get an idea like that ? oh , wait . that 's right . tammy . joey : lizzie , did you or did n't you ? lizzie : no , i did not pay him to say to say that he liked your music . but i did tell him i would put a good word in for him with my dad and my grandfather . i just knew that if he heard it , he would blown away . and he was . joey : and you did n't pay him any money ? lizzie : absolutely not . joey : tammy has a picture of it . lizzie : oh , wait , you know , right . you 're right . i did . okay , he parked at the beacon and he needed money . he had a $ 20 , so i gave him some singles to pay for valet . but just on that , tammy got the idea that ... man , she has an imagination . look , joey , i 'm sorry for pulling strings on your behalf , okay . i was just trying to help you . i 'm sorry . and it will never happen again . so , are we cool ? joey : yeah , we 're cool . phillip : hello , tammy . tammy ? are you all right ? is there anything i can do ? tammy : you can make joey like me again . forget i said that . i have to go . phillip : wait a minute . by joey , are you referring to joey lupo , that ball player whose been hanging around lizzie ? tammy : only because lizzie ... phillip : what ? tammy : never mind . phillip : no , no , no . go ahead . you can say it . what ? tammy : she 's your daughter . you wo n't like it . but you know what ? i 'm going to say it anyway . joey comes from a poor family , okay ? and lizzie , well , in my opinion she sort of bought his friendship . phillip : how so ? tammy : how so is that she throws money at him right and left . she even paid some guy off to buy all these cd 's off of him . phillip : and so what you 're saying is that the only reason that this kid lupo is interested in my daughter is because of her money ? tammy : i 'm saying that lizzie ... phillip : i hear what you 're saying , tammy . thank you for the information . i appreciate that . tammy : no , but what i 'm saying ... phillip : honey ? honey ? lizzie : hi , daddy . what 's up ? phillip : oh , not much . what 's up with you ? where are you ? lizzie : at company with joey . phillip : oh , joey 's there . that 's great . put him on . lizzie : what ? phillip : put your friend on , honey . i want to talk to him . lizzie : okay . joey , my dad wants to talk to you . joey : me ? why ? mr . spaulding ? phillip : joey , hi . you know , i 've decided that you and i need to get better acquainted . i want you to come out to the house for a meal sometime . i 'll have my secretary call and give you the details . joey : um , okay . guess who 's coming to dinner ? harley : okay , jeffrey o'neill was dead on . i called the new springfield corporation , told them that we were eager to sell . we have meeting set up for this afternoon . buzz : with ? harley : with the ceo himself . he 's meeting us at the beacon in half an hour . and boy is he in for a fight . michelle : so what are you two guys arguing about now ? danny : nothing . we weren't . michelle : i 'm not stupid . you look like you 're ready to kill each other . danny : no , we did n't , michelle . tony offered me a job , i turned him down . michelle : what kind of job ?

[ scene_break ] lulu : so , you think that my dad is lying about dante ? maxie : i would n't go that far . i just do n't think it 's very dante to hide out and sulk . lulu : [ sighs ] i agree with that . and my father is massively overreacting about a personal issue between me and my husband -- my dad , the guy who 's completely allergic to other people 's problems and domestic drama of any kind . maxie : look , if anyone knows about problematic , adrenaline - junkie dads , it 's me . i 've imagined it my whole life . frisco calls me up , explains that he could n't be around because of his job , but now things are gon na change , and he 's gon na be the father i 've always dreamed . lulu : but it 's all a fantasy . maxie : because sometimes the fantasy is easier to face than reality , like when little girls dream that their fathers are heroes , and then they find out they 're not . lulu : my -- my dad is my hero . he always has been . that 's why none of this makes any sense . maxie : luke has been there for you in the past . lulu : yes , he has , in huge ways . maxie : i 'm just saying ... that something is up . and i do n't think it 's good .

[ scene_break ] helena : second thoughts ? how that home might have had special meaning for you . fluke : that shack meant nothing but pain and misery to me . i feel ... good , free . there 's nothing tethering me to the past , nothing stopping me from what i was born to do . i ca n't tell you how sick i am of the idiots in this town . helena : well , no one can commiserate more than i . fluke : how do you stand it ? helena : oh , why do you think i am rarely here ? now , if not for nikolas and spencer ... and now you , i would have absolutely no use for port charles . fluke : i agree the place is nowhere . helena : you know , when you come down to it , we 're perfect for each other . no -- no one understands you the way i do . tracy : luke .

[ chuckles ] patrick : no , they 're -- they 're -- they 're good . it 's just she 's dealing with something right now . sabrina : oh . i 'm sorry . is she okay ? patrick : yes . sam 's fine . sabrina : okay . patrick : but it 's just taking a lot of time and energy , and i just really hope that she finds some closure . i 'm ready to move forward . i think she is , too . [ scene_break ] sam : was that an admission you stole the phoenix ? jason : yes . at least i - i - i think so . sam : what do you mean you think so ? jason : i do n't know ! i just -- it 's just all disjointed . i ca n't hold on to anything . sam : hold on to what ? jason : the images , okay ? ! i was in your home ! i saw it on the dresser . sam : you were in my home ? jason : yeah . i picked it up . sam : when was this ? sam : dr. drake , are you asking me to shower with you ? i hope you like it hot . my showers are a notch below scalding . patrick : the steamier , the better . jason : when you and patrick were going into the shower . sam : i knew it . i knew i heard something that night . god , how long were you watching us ? jason : i was n't watching you and patrick . i was watching you and me .

[ scene_break ] sonny : thanks for the save . you all right ? julian : you got to find ava , man . just go get her . go find her . [ scene_break ] heather : your little girlfriend here tried to sell me the same story . franco : uh , it 's true . we 're -- we 're just mere acquaintances . heather : so that 's why he 's here waving a gun in my face , to save some `` mere acquaintance `` ? look at him . he 's all dressed up like a prison guard . he busted out to rescue you . do you think i fell off a turnip truck or something ? ! nina : no , we do n't think that at all . franco : you fell out of something . you know what ? forget it , nina . just -- you 're right . nina is very important to me . heather : no duh ! franco : i have n't always treated her right . heather : what about the way you 've treated me ? franco : you 're right about that , too . i have n't been a good son . i 've been a terrible son . and i got the mother that i deserved , because i - i only ever added to the craziness . i never rose above it . but i will not let you hurt nina . if you want to jab somebody with that thing , you can jab me . heather : i see . is this your redemption ? franco : i 'm gon na get what 's coming to me one way or the other , but nina has no part of this , and she 's been through enough . and for whatever reason , she thinks i 'm a good guy . nina : you are a good guy . franco : and i 'm not gon na disappoint her . heather : how sweet . franco : so put down the syringe . heather : and deprive myself of seeing you both suffer ? not on your life . [ screams ] no , no ! [ scene_break ] sam : i do n't really understand . jason : yeah , i do n't either . i do n't know what the hell 's going on with me . okay ? sam : you just told me that you saw me in bed with you . jason : yeah , yeah . i do n't know . i do n't -- i - i see it , and then i ca n't see it anymore . i ca n't hold on to anything . sam : okay , okay , listen . let 's just -- let 's start with this . do you know why you were in my apartment ? jason : i do n't know why i was in your apartment . sam : can you think , please ? jason : i am thinking ! i am thinking . sam : because you seem disoriented , like you -- you do n't really remember , like what you 're feeling is not real , like someone put you up to it or something . jason : it 's like i - i - i see someone else doing these things , and then i realize it 's -- it 's me , and i do n't ... sam : okay , okay , okay . so maybe -- maybe someone else is behind this and you 're blocking it out for some reason . jason : [ sighs ] sam : did -- did someone tell you to come into my apartment that night ? helena : so we 're clear on what you 're going to say to samantha ? jason : yes . helena : still , i ca n't be sure that she will drop her accusations . which is why i need you to kill her . jason : yeah . sam : someone ordered you to come into my home ? who ? jason : helena cassadine . she told me to kill you . [ scene_break ] tracy : helena cassadine ? helena : as you live and breathe , unfortunately . how lovely to see you , tracy . tracy : ha . the feeling is not mutual . i knew you were on the loose , but showing up here tonight ? i thought you were supposed to be on the run with faison . helena : well , what can i say ? i love a party . and i bumped into luke as i was on my way in . tracy : step away from him ! helena : and why should i do that ? tracy : oh , i do n't know . maybe because you value your life ! helena : oh , luke would never hurt me , and i would never hurt him . right , my darling ? [ scene_break ] nathan : it just went straight to voicemail . lulu -- lulu 's probably busy working that party at the haunted star .

[ scene_break ] sam : helena cassadine ? jason : yeah , yeah . sam : okay , this -- this is all actually starting to make sense right now . jason : glad it makes sense to you , because it does n't make any sense to me . i was in your house with a gun . i do n't understand what 's going on here . sam : okay , but why would she want you to kill me ? do you know that ? jason : i do n't know , i do n't know . it was something about accusations or something . sam : accusations , accusations about you , about you , because i knew that you grabbed me and freed faison . what , she -- she wanted to shut me up . i was getting too close . jason : i do n't think -- think ... [ muffled scream ] sam : no ! jason : oh , my god . sam : what ? jason : no , you were right . it was me . everything you said , it was right . i took you hostage , the ski mask , faison , all of it -- you 're right . i - i shot a cop . sam : okay , wait a minute . so you 're remembering everything now ? jason : no , kind of . flashes . it 's -- they 're -- it 's ...

[ scene_break ] tracy : what the hell is going on here ? helena : well , is n't it obvious ? tracy : never in a million years would my husband allow you to cozy up to him . there 's only one explanation . luke , you are not in your right mind . fluke : i assure you , i 'm completely compos mentis and acting of my own free will . [ scene_break ] nathan : i hate leaving you like this , but whoever locked you in that basement is on the haunted star right now with maxie and lulu , and i got to stop them before they hurt someone else . so you take care of yourself , all right ? i 'll be back soon as i can . [ scene_break ] lulu : okay , i made a decision . what am i doing ? i have a husband who will crawl through glass for me . maxie : literally . lulu : i am buying that he 's not here because he 's jealous of an ex - boyfriend . maxie : get your coat , purse , whatever you need . lulu : are you sure ? i can totally handle this party by myself . maxie : okay , thank you . [ scene_break ] michael : so let me get this straight . sonny murders my father , and he gets to escape the consequences , again ? lucas : well , i do n't really have all the details yet . michael : i should have known that whole falling on the sword thing was just an act . lucas : wait , hold on . well , hold on . so you think that your dad -- uh , i 'm sorry -- sonny actually knew that this was the plan all along , and that 's why he plead guilty ? michael : of course , he did . he probably had the whole escape plan worked out before he even stepped foot in pentonville . as i speak , they 're probably prepping his room on the island . in about three hours , he 's gon na be standing there in his -- in his linen suit , drinking rum , and enjoying the ocean view . there is nothing noble about sonny corinthos -- nothing -- because when push comes to shove , all he cares about is himself . [ scene_break ] ava : sonny ... help me . please . sonny : grab my hand . grab my hand ! ava : [ gasping ] sonny : okay , give me your other hand . ava : no , i -- what if i fall ? sonny : you wo n't . give me your other hand . ava : [ sobbing ] i 'm scared . sonny : it 's the only way you 're gon na make it ! come on . i got -- i got you . ava : oh , god ! oh , god ! thank you , thank you ! sonny : do n't thank me . everything in me wants to let go . ava : please , please , sonny . sonny : did -- did connie say please when you shot her in the gut ? ava : i 'm sorry . sonny : do n't say sorry when you do n't mean it . ava : i do . i am . sonny : okay , i 'm gon na save your life , but not because you deserve it , but because connie would have wanted me to . you deserve to be in prison the rest of your life . ava : [ sobbing ] hurry , sonny ! sonny : hold on ! ava : i 'm slipping ! sonny : you got to hold ... ava : i ca n't ! sonny ! sonny : you got to ! ava : sonny ! [ screams ] sonny : ava ! [ scene_break ] heather : go ahead . enjoy what little time you have left together . even though i could n't pop nina full of lsd , you lose anyway . i still win . franco : where are you going ? heather : where else ? to alert the authorities that there 's an escaped convict on the premises . yeah , shoot me . that 's a wonderful idea . add a few more years onto your already robust prison sentence .

[ scene_break ] sam : helena cassadine ? jason : yeah , yeah . sam : okay , this -- this is all actually starting to make sense right now . jason : glad it makes sense to you , because it does n't make any sense to me . i was in your house with a gun . i do n't understand what 's going on here . sam : okay , but why would she want you to kill me ? do you know that ? jason : i do n't know , i do n't know . it was something about accusations or something . sam : accusations , accusations about you , about you , because i knew that you grabbed me and freed faison . what , she -- she wanted to shut me up . i was getting too close . jason : i do n't think -- think ... [ muffled scream ] sam : no ! jason : oh , my god . sam : what ? jason : no , you were right . it was me . everything you said , it was right . i took you hostage , the ski mask , faison , all of it -- you 're right . i - i shot a cop . sam : okay , wait a minute . so you 're remembering everything now ? jason : no , kind of . flashes . it 's -- they 're -- it 's ...

[ scene_break ] tracy : what the hell is going on here ? helena : well , is n't it obvious ? tracy : never in a million years would my husband allow you to cozy up to him . there 's only one explanation . luke , you are not in your right mind . fluke : i assure you , i 'm completely compos mentis and acting of my own free will . [ scene_break ] nathan : i hate leaving you like this , but whoever locked you in that basement is on the haunted star right now with maxie and lulu , and i got to stop them before they hurt someone else . so you take care of yourself , all right ? i 'll be back soon as i can .

[ crying ] you sweet baby . he 's wide awake , now , huh ? chad : yeah , i have no idea how . he 's been up half the night . jennifer : so have you . listen , why do n't you let me take him with me when i leave , and then you can get a good night 's sleep . chad : no , no , thomas needs to be with me right now , no . jennifer : please , chad . robinson : abigail has asked me to say her good - byes . she needs rest right now . chad : okay , um , will you -- when can we come back and see her ? robinson : let 's just see how things are going . [ instrumental music ] steve : hey , claire . have you seen joe or jade yet today ? claire : nope , nothing 's changed since i saw you before . steve : well , actually , it has . i talked to jade 's parents . they do n't know where the kids are , and jade has n't been home in a while . claire : okay , well , they 're probably busy or something . steve : or in trouble . that 's what her parents think . apparently , that 's what jade does . claire : well , i would n't know . steve : well , that 's why i 'm telling you . this is important , claire . joe could be in danger , so everything else -- what happened in court , who 's gon na be mad at who -- that 's all just noise . claire : okay , i already told you everything -- steve : i know . i know what you did . you covered for a friend , and i get that , but if there 's anything else , maybe something you remembered after we talked ? please . claire : okay , well , joey and jade said something about going to los angeles . steve : you think they went to la ? claire : look , i do n't -- i do n't know , but uncle steve , please , you can not tell them that i told you , okay ? steve : do n't you worry . i wo n't tell . i wo n't tell . come here . you 've been a big help , baby . thank you . [ dramatic music ] joey : how -- how can we contribute ? simone : you contribute to the well - being of the family , helping to keep a roof over our head and food on our table . jade : well , how do we do that ? i mean , is this a farm ? simone : no , we 're in the middle of the desert . i mean , we have a little garden , but that only gets us so far . joey : so what do we do ? simone : whatever it takes . do you not know how rigged the game is , joe ? how a tiny number of people are holding all the strings , everything that righteously belongs to the 99 % ? we are outcasts here . we 're the people they could n't be bothered with . joey : uh , okay . simone : we do whatever it takes to survive , and we do n't apologize . you understand ? jade : i do . simone : then i 'll let you explain . joey : so what exactly is going on here ? jade : um ...

we -- there has to be something . robinson : well , we can remove some of the pressure . jennifer : how ? robinson : it seems that when abigail sees her family , she feels ashamed , inadequate . that 's an extra layer on top of the trauma she 's here to deal with . chad : okay , i 've told -- i mean , there 's -- there 's nothing to be ashamed of . robinson : well , that can only intensify the feelings . `` what 's wrong with me that i feel so ashamed ? `` that can be a vicious cycle . chad : so it 's a no - win ? robinson : well , maybe the right thing to do right now is to remove that pressure . jennifer : what ? you want us to just stay away ? chad : [ stammering ] i 'm sorry . you want -- i 'm not gon na leave my wife here and stop seeing her . that 'd be her worst nightmare . robinson : no , no , no . i 'm not asking you to abandon abigail , but she needs time where she does n't have to worry about how her family is handling her illness . can you give her that time ? marlena : oh , fynn , fynn , i just saw paul . i 'm looking for an update from -- from kayla . where is she ? fynn : she 's in bed . marlena : no . when did that happen ? fynn : about an hour ago . marlena : oh , my gosh . have you been able to analyze the iv bag that john 's father gave to paul ? fynn : we found a synthetic virus , the same one paul and everyone else here is infected with . marlena : so you were right . yo ling is behind this . fynn : it appears that way , yes . marlena : how long will it take the cdc to analyze your results ? fynn : that is the question . fortunately , their chemist should be here any minute . marlena : okay . in the meantime , what can i do ? how can i help ? fynn : you 're still healthy ? marlena : so far . fynn : then you can keep the patients calm and in bed . that 's all we got , marlena . we 're grasping at straws here . joey : this place is wild . your aunt simone is a trip . jade : yeah , she was always my hero . my dad hated her , so you know she has to be awesome . simone : okay , i found some extra sleeping bags and a spot in the atrium for you to crash . jade : the atrium ? simone : mm - hmm . solid glass , 180-degree view of the desert sky at night . it will change your worldview . joey : so -- so it 's all right if we just stay here ? simone : of course . joe , as long as you guys pull your weight and contribute , you 're welcome to stay as long as you like . [ dramatic music ] joey : hmm . chad : okay , well , just -- we 'll give her -- we 'll give her more time . robinson : great . let me go and see if she 'd like to come back now . [ dramatic music ] jennifer : i do n't think that this was the best place for abigail . i really do n't . chad : okay , well , do you think she 's wrong ? jennifer : but even with my mom , we -- we could still ... you do n't isolate someone from their family . chad : look , i do n't think that 's what they want , all right ? i think that they 're -- they 're just trying to say she needs some breathing room . it 's hard to be normal when people are staring at you , looking for any sign -- jennifer : right , i understand that , but then you have to understand that this is -- this is my baby . chad : yeah , i want her home , too , jennifer , and so does our son . jennifer : oh , gosh , look at him . [ crying ] you sweet baby . he 's wide awake , now , huh ? chad : yeah , i have no idea how . he 's been up half the night . jennifer : so have you . listen , why do n't you let me take him with me when i leave , and then you can get a good night 's sleep . chad : no , no , thomas needs to be with me right now , no . jennifer : please , chad . robinson : abigail has asked me to say her good - byes . she needs rest right now . chad : okay , um , will you -- when can we come back and see her ? robinson : let 's just see how things are going . [ instrumental music ] steve : hey , claire . have you seen joe or jade yet today ? claire : nope , nothing 's changed since i saw you before . steve : well , actually , it has . i talked to jade 's parents . they do n't know where the kids are , and jade has n't been home in a while . claire : okay , well , they 're probably busy or something . steve : or in trouble . that 's what her parents think . apparently , that 's what jade does . claire : well , i would n't know . steve : well , that 's why i 'm telling you . this is important , claire . joe could be in danger , so everything else -- what happened in court , who 's gon na be mad at who -- that 's all just noise . claire : okay , i already told you everything -- steve : i know . i know what you did . you covered for a friend , and i get that , but if there 's anything else , maybe something you remembered after we talked ? please . claire : okay , well , joey and jade said something about going to los angeles . steve : you think they went to la ? claire : look , i do n't -- i do n't know , but uncle steve , please , you can not tell them that i told you , okay ? steve : do n't you worry . i wo n't tell . i wo n't tell . come here . you 've been a big help , baby . thank you . [ dramatic music ] joey : how -- how can we contribute ? simone : you contribute to the well - being of the family , helping to keep a roof over our head and food on our table . jade : well , how do we do that ? i mean , is this a farm ? simone : no , we 're in the middle of the desert . i mean , we have a little garden , but that only gets us so far . joey : so what do we do ? simone : whatever it takes . do you not know how rigged the game is , joe ? how a tiny number of people are holding all the strings , everything that righteously belongs to the 99 % ? we are outcasts here . we 're the people they could n't be bothered with . joey : uh , okay . simone : we do whatever it takes to survive , and we do n't apologize . you understand ? jade : i do . simone : then i 'll let you explain . joey : so what exactly is going on here ? jade : um ... [ thomas crying ] chad : oh , where 's that bunny ? i must have forgot it in the car . [ thomas fussing ] jennifer : you know , you can call abigail . they did n't say that was out of bounds . chad : well , i think that we should probably let her decide that . [ thomas softly crying ] jennifer : yeah , you 're right . chad : look , i just -- i should n't have pushed so damn hard . i mean , she was fine until i tried to force thomas on her , and then -- and then -- and then thomas started to cry , and then the whole -- jennifer : yeah , i know , but babies -- they -- they -- they sense tension . they know when something 's wrong . has he been fussier ? chad : yeah , i -- i thought he was teething , but he 's obviously just sensing all of our bad energy . jennifer : chad , please , let me take him for the night . i -- i have everything for a baby . i have everything he could possibly need ; i mean ... thomas : no . jennifer : you could spend one night with your grandma , right ? chad : it 's -- no , thomas is gon na stay here with me . jennifer : you 'd like that . thomas : [ murmurs ] jennifer : chad , you need a break . chad : no , we 're fine . jennifer : why not -- chad : look , i 'm not gon na change my mind , so let it go . jennifer : but why , chad ? chad : because i 'll be damned if i 'm gon na let my son go home with somebody in your situation . jennifer : my `` situation `` ? chad : your habit . jennifer : my ... you think i 'm a drug addict ? deimos : [ playing piano ] [ debussy 's `` claire de lune `` ] [ soft piano music ] [ shimmering chimes ] nicole : that was beautiful . why did n't you finish ? do i really remind you that much of her ? deimos : does n't really matter , does it ? that was the past . i live in the here and now .

[ scene_break ] donna : if you 're so concerned about stephanie , why do n't you track her down ? eric : i do n't think that 's the way i want to spend my first morning as your husband . donna : well , i am going to be out all day anyway . brooke and i -- we -- we have to plan my brother 's memorial for tomorrow . eric : where 's that gon na be ? donna : i do n't know . i assumed at a church . now i do n't know if that 's gon na work out . eric : why do n't you have it here ? donna : eric , the way your kids feel about storm and then having it in their home ? eric : donna , this is your home now . it 's your home . if you want to have the memorial service here , you have it here . donna : thank you . god , how did i get so lucky ?

bridget : well , he 's conscious but sedated . at least that 's the last official word i heard . there were so many firemen and policemen around , i could n't really get near . but i heard that they 're monitoring a concussion tonight and then sending him to supplicate , which to me means he 's on the road to recovery . i 'll be right there . why do n't you go on in and see phoebe ? taylor : phoebe -- phoebe : mom , i thought you were -- stephanie : phoebe , i think you should keep that mask on . i 'm sure that 's what bridget would want . look , there was a reason that your mother did n't get to where she was supposed to be going . well , we might as well tell you about it right now . thorne : i like this one . alexandria : me , too . is here where mommy died ?

[ door closes ] devon : ... you went after jack abbott first , right ? i guess when he turned you down , you moved on to neil . is that your thing ? do you have , like , major daddy issues or something ? hilary : stop it . devon : if neil turned you down , were you gon na go after victor newman ? hilary : you know , why are you even in my business , huh ? do n't you have some car to buy or some gold digger to bed ? get out of my room . devon : this is actually my room , hilary . do n't forget i own this place . abby : the brass on this chick . sending smutty selfies ? when was this taken ? tyler : okay , obviously not lately . i mean , mariah must have taken that when we were engaged . she kept it . abby : like a grenade , just waiting to pull the pin . and she lobs it now when you 're engaged to me . tyler : she wants a rise out of you . abby : i think she wants some kind of rise out of you . tyler : okay , come on . it does n't matter , all right ? we do n't give it to her . abby : so , what ? we 're just gon na sit back and wait for her to send more photos ? hey , maybe she could lock me in an empty apartment again or she could terrorize my family like she did with nick and sharon . let 's see . who 's next ? noah , summer , maybe faith ? this woman is a menace , and she needs to be stopped . leslie : uh - oh . is this about mariah ? abby : we offered her money to leave town , but she 's having too much fun harassing us . wait , can we get the police involved ? leslie : well , based off one photo ? no . it would take a lot more to get the police involved . abby : great . this photo almost made me forget about my meeting . tyler : hey , you okay to drive ? abby : 'cause of this ? no , i 'm -- i 'm fine . i 'm not gon na let mariah get to me , no matter how hard she tries . may i ? it 's gone . now she can get a rise out of someone else . victor : good to see you , son . nick : i 'm not so sure about that . victor : what 's on your mind ? nick : you tormented a fragile woman with the memory of her late daughter , then you tried to force sharon 's hand by breaking things off with me . can you not see the million ways that you crossed the line ? that 's what 's on my mind . victor : listen carefully , my boy . sharon has a secret that 's gon na do damage to you . that 's a fact . that 's a reality , okay ? now , she almost told that secret to the woman who has been impersonating cassie . sharon came to me -- i did not come to her -- to ask me what i knew about that secret . it 's obvious sharon does not want to hurt you . but for her not to hurt you , she needs to move away from you . nick : sharon had some hypnosis . she recovered the secret . victor : oh , really ? what is it ? nick : well , apparently she felt bad about faith and burning down your house . she came to me and told me everything . victor : son , that 's not a secret . i knew about that incident shortly after it happened . you 've got to listen to me . whatever secret it is that sharon is keeping is powerful and destructive . nick : this is just you stirring up trouble , and i 'm not interested . back off . sharon and i are still together . victor : that 's what you came here to say to me ? nick : no . not by a long shot . [ knock on door ] mariah : why are you here ? sharon : can you let me in ? mariah : i do n't see why i should . sharon : because i want to say thank you . mariah : you ca n't thank me . that does n't make any sense . sharon : that 's what i came to do , so i hope you 'll let me . mariah : yeah . what i did to you -- sharon : you 're one of the reasons i decided to undergo hypnosis . mariah : the hospital and -- and treatment and now hypnosis . how can you even stand being in the same room with me ? sharon : i needed to dig deep to see if i could remember this secret , the one i know could hurt nick . mariah : did it work ? did you remember ? sharon : some memories came back , and nick thinks he knows what it is , but i just feel that he 's wrong . it 's all still locked away in there . and i thought maybe if you and i spent some time together and got to know each other -- nothing big , no pressure -- just talked . mariah : we ca n't hang out . that 's crazy . sharon : why not ? mariah : because i look like this . i mean , even being in the same room with you makes me feel like a creep . sharon : i know that you 're not my daughter , even if the resemblance is striking . i just thought maybe if we talked , that secret could bubble up . mariah : i - i 'm not gon na call you mom and beg you to tell me . it was gross enough the first time around , victor telling me what to wear , how to act , what to say . you just looked ... so sad every time you saw me . so happy , too . i 'm not cassie . sharon : i know . you 're mariah . and i 'd like to get to know more about you . nick : i want to know everything you know about this girl , mariah copeland . victor : and what , son , would that accomplish ? she 's long gone by now . nick : well , you can fire your investigators , dad , because she still is in town , showing up in sharon 's life . victor : well , for your information , i have nothing to do with her still being in town . nick : well , then you 're either lying and you told her to stay in town or you 're slipping and you just assumed that she would leave , because she did n't . victor : i do n't want that woman anywhere near my family . you have my word on that . abby : you just had to tussle with the psycho girl , did n't you , dad ? do you know who faux cassie is ? she 's the real mariah . do you know who the real mariah is ? it 's tyler 's stalker ex - fiancée amateur photographer who would like nothing more than to break us up . so you wanted to tank nick and sharon ? well , you just may have tanked tyler and me instead . cane : victor wants answers now , and a payoff as big as running chancellor , i need to deliver . ca n't do that till i know where my dad is . lily : maybe he 's with my dad . [ chuckles ] i 've just been trying to reach him for so long , and he wo n't get back to me . he 's been acting so weird lately . i just think that he 's still hiding all the hurt from the leslie mess , you know ? cane : or maybe kelly 's right and maybe he 's seeing somebody . lily : i doubt that . dad . cane : hey . lily : hey . what are you doing here without saying hi ? did you have a meeting ? neil : yeah , i - i was -- i was seeing someone , yes . lily : oh , well , do you want to sit down and talk and have some coffee ? neil : i should probably get to the office . lily : [ sniffs ] you -- [ chuckles ] you smell like perfume . neil : what ? lily : oh , my god . it 's ... it 's true . you were with her ? neil : you knew ? lily : i mean , i - i did n't believe it , to be honest with you . neil : yeah . okay , listen , it 's a lot to take in , and we planned on telling you today . lily , i - i did n't want to upset you . lily : upset me ? dad , no . i 'd be the first one cheering you on . i think it 's great . tell me about her . i mean , what 's her name , how did you guys meet ? who is she ? neil : she ... sweetheart , we do n't have time to stand in the middle of the gcac and discuss this . why do n't we schedule a dinner and we can sit and talk about it all , all right ? lily : schedule a dinner ? why not tell me us now ? why -- i 'm sure if you chose her , she 's great . we 'll make her feel welcome . let 's have dinner tonight . we 'll tell devon , and he should be here . cane : all right , maybe neil wants to spend some time with her alone and we 'll meet her when she 's ready . give him some privacy . lily : okay , fine . i 'll back off . so , what 's her name ? devon : i got to hand it to my sister , 'cause she had you pegged . hilary : [ chuckles ] lily does n't know me , all right , and neither do you . devon : i wo n't argue with that . i even fell for your little act , too , all the guilt for stealing neil 's journal and drugging cane , ripping my family online . `` hilary just needs a second chance . `` you know how many times i said that ? and now you have just second - chanced your way into bed with my dad ! hilary : that 's not how it happened ! devon : you know what ? did n't neil take your mother back to some hotel room a long time ago ? i mean , you must have some twisted mommy issues , too . hilary : you can say whatever they hell you want to say about me , all right ? i 've heard it all before . i do n't give a damn . but do n't you talk about my mother ever ! and your dad deserves some respect . devon : respect for what ? getting sucked in by you ? i guess that makes both the winters men fools . at least neil got something out of it . hilary : i told you once before . get out !

[ sighs ] okay , so you quit your job , and now you jump into bed with your brother 's ex . brady : nicole , kristen 's gone , all right ? i could n't be at basic black anymore . there was too many reminders of her everywhere . i needed a fresh start , okay ? if you ca n't understand that , then i 'm sorry . nicole : is that your attempt at an apology ? because if it was , you failed miserably . marlena : claire , you know , you -- you have your own doctors here , and it 's for them to decide when you 're going to be released . claire : yeah , but dr . grantham said i 'm doing really well , and i 'm sure he would be open to talking to you . i mean , all you really have to do is tell him that you think i 'm well enough to come home . marlena : claire -- claire : you 're on my side , are n't you ? marlena : oh , of course i 'm on your side . i 'm always on your side . it 's just that this -- claire : what ? what ? just that what ? marlena : [ sighs ] this seems a little bit rushed and a little bit desperate , and it makes me wonder what 's happened , why it 's so urgent for you to get out of here right away . my gums are irritated . what did you stash in your bag just now ? gabi : that 's none of your business . i mean , who are you ? none of your business . gabi : i got ta get going , so -- uh - uh - uh , let 's see what we have and why we 're hiding it . gabi : do n't touch that . you 're going to contaminate that . what the hell is this ?

ben : [ scoffs ] not at the moment . jake : that 's what i thought . ben : but i am gon na need to know what your plan is when it comes to dealing with these old friends of yours , because i 'm definitely not looking to get beat up again . jake : those guys are gon na be gone once i give them back what i took from their boss . ben : but you said to me that you ca n't give back what you took from their boss because your ex took it from you when she cleaned you out . jake : [ sighs ] gwen . her name is gwen . ben : gwen , okay . do we have any way of tracking gwen down ? jake : i 've given it some thought . ben : well , you said you came here because you thought she was headed here to salem . jake : right . she left philly , took a flight to chicago , then she took a train to salem , but that 's where the trail went cold . ben : so why do you think she wanted to come to salem ? jake : i have no clue . as far as i know , she does n't have any friends or family here , and i told you , i was gon na leave myself , but i ran out of money , so i took the job at the garage . ben : okay , so what ? we 're just gon na forget about tracking down gwen ? jake : no , i -- i ca n't go back on the hunt until i get paid for the work i 'm doing at the garage , and this whole thing with the gabi lady has been quite a distraction . ben : so she 's still hounding you about being stefan ? jake : let 's hope she 's taking a break . ben : sounds like you 're stuck . jake : yeah , i ca n't move until i give these guys what they 're looking for , but i ca n't give them what they 're looking for because i do n't know where gwen is . ben : i told you i 've done some security work for stefan dimera , but i also have some skills that might help you track down your ex . you said you needed my help . why do n't you let me help you find her ? brady : look , nic , i really am sorry for leaving you in the lurch at basic black . that was not my intention . nicole : but you did n't think of me at all , did you ? brady : honestly , my head has been all over the place since kristen left with rachel . this -- this -- this job was an opportunity to get control again . nicole : control of what ? brady : everything . everything . i just need you to back off a little bit and let me do what i need to do , please . nicole : mm - hmm . but you have n't told me what that is . making the moves on sarah ? brady : nic , i know what i 'm doing . nicole : no , i do n't think you do . brady : yes , i do . nicole : i think you 're going off the rails . oh , you know , you 're just pissed off at xander , and this is your way of getting back at him . so you take his job at the same time you 're taking his girl . brady : xander deserves to have everything taken away from him . nicole : i could n't agree more , but what about his partner ? your grandfather ? brady : what about victor ? nicole : he lied to you . he took away your job , your child . is n't there a part of you that wants to see him suffer too ? brady : oh , you know , i -- i ca n't do this . i 'm not gon na do this right now . maggie -- i got a text . maggie is free . she 's out of prison . i 'm gon na go see how she 's doing . nicole : wait . you 're not just gon na leave , are you ? brady : i need to check on her . nicole : hey , wait a minute . brady ! [ scoffs ] well , i guess you are . xander : look , i -- i know it 's hard for you to be around me right now . sarah : it makes me sick . xander : i understand . i betrayed your trust . when your mom and i were waiting to hear back about her case , we had a long talk about it . sarah : you know what ? she should hate you as much as i do . xander : well , she -- she 's pretty furious , but she understands that everything i did was for you . she knows that i still love you . sarah : i am so sick of hearing that . xander : if your mother can understand it , why ca n't you ? sarah : oh , i do . i get it . when marlena saw me losing it on victor , she pulled me out of the room , and she talked me down and called me on my anger . and then she suggested that it was n't just because the fact that you had lied to me that i could n't get over . xander : then what was it ? sarah : how can someone who loves you betray you like that ? marlena : you feel that 's what it was ? you feel that was a betrayal ? sarah : among other things . marlena : but not only by victor ? sarah : no . xander too . the man i ... stupidly almost married and raised a child with . i think that 's the hardest part , because i ... marlena : because you what ? sarah : nothing . it does n't matter . marlena : it matters . were you about to say because you still love him ? xander : sarah . are you gon na tell me ? nyquil severe gives you powerful relief xander : sarah . look , i know there 's a lot you need to get past . i 'm not asking you to forgive me today , but maybe someday . i love you , sarah . you 're everything to me , and i really do believe that deep down , some part of you still loves me too . am i right ? [ door opens ] brady : oh , baby , what 's going on ? this guy still bugging you ? [ tense music ] ciara : i , uh , i understand why nicole would be upset with brady for bailing on her , but i do n't know , i think he 's focused on other things . he 's kind of off his game . eric : yeah ? how so ? ciara : i do n't know . he was acting all powerful and in - charge , but i mean , he barely listened to any of my ideas . it was like he had already decided to reject them . eric : i 'm sure he 's got a lot on his mind as the new boss . ciara : yeah , all right , but i do n't know , how long is grandpa gon na let him stay on as ceo if he 's already gon na tank the company ? claire : you think me wanting to go home is sudden ? grandma , i have been locked up here for almost two years . that 's like 10 % of my life . marlena : i know , i know , and i never would 've wished that for you , but claire , you were sick . you needed this help . claire : yeah , i know , and my doctors and therapists have given me that help . you know , they 've actually told me that my progress has exceeded all their expectations . marlena : aw , i 'm so happy to hear that . claire : i have done everything asked of me : individual therapy , group therapy , exercise class , meditation . i try to be as welcoming as i can to newcomers . i 'm even helping out the leader of the musical therapy group , and whenever i sing after dinner , the whole entire place comes to watch . marlena : oh , that makes me so happy . claire : everyone says that i am the perfect patient . what else am i supposed to do to prove myself ? marlena : well , you do n't have to do anything , darling . you 've already done everything that was asked of you . claire : then why am i still here ? if ben weston can be released from bayview , why ca n't i ? jake : i ca n't have you help me track down gwen . it has nothing to do with you . ben : i was attacked . twice . so whether i like it or not , i 'm already involved , and it seems to me like it would be in my best interest if i just found these guys , gave them what they wanted , and sent them on their merry way . jake : [ sighs ] fine . if you believe you can help me out , i 'm glad to take the assist . ben : well , good . i 'll see what i can find on gwen , but first , i 'm gon na need to drop in on ciara . jake : everything all right with her ? ben : yeah , yeah . it 's her first day back at her job , and i thought it 'd be nice if i dropped some flowers to the fiancée . jake : ah . ben : fiancée . jake : [ laughs ] still not used to calling her that ? ben : nope , but i kind of like it . jake : well , tell her i said congratulations . ben : i will . jake : i 'm gon na get back to the garage . those ignition coils are calling my name . [ tense music ] jake 's your husband . oh . gabi : oh ! this is gon na work out well for me . that means you 're gon na make the perfect hostage . gabi : hostage ? yeah , well , let 's just call you a solid bargaining chip . gabi : wh -- what ? what do you want ? well , your husband has something that belongs to my boss . little jakie 's been playing hard to get , but now that i have his lovely wife , i 'm sure he 's gon na want to hand it over . gabi : look , i 'm sorry to spoil your plan , but i do n't think that 's gon na work . oh ... i do . i do . chances are you know us . why do n't you give your hubby a call ? gabi : okay . let me be honest . there 's been a misunderstanding . he -- he 's not my husband . you just said he was . gabi : no , i know , i know . but it 's -- it 's complicated . it does n't sound that complicated . gabi : it is , though . it is . he 's -- okay , my real husband , his name is -- is stefan dimera . save it , girl . gabi : no , really . okay . look , if i call this jake person , he 's not gon na care . he hates me . i 'm basically a worthless hostage . you should just let me go right now , okay ? and then what ? gabi : well , then i 'll go talk to jake , and i 'll make sure he cooperates any way that you would like . actually , give me your information , i 'll jot it down , and then i 'll find him and -- let 's just keep it simple . either you call your husband or whoever he is and get him to give me what i came for , or i 'll blow your pretty little head off . ciara : hey , brady , i brought you a ... coffee . well ... hmm . [ scoffs ] [ tense music ] ben : hey , you . ciara : [ sighs ] hey . ben , what are you doing here ? ben : what am i doing here ? well , i 'm certainly not here to give you these . ciara : oh , wow , they 're beautiful . ben : you 're beautiful . something 's wrong . what is it ? ciara : [ sighs ] i 'm not really sure . eric : hey . nicole : hi . [ chuckles ] eric : you know , i stopped by basic black to check on you , and you were n't there . nicole : no , i was visiting brady at titan . eric : oh . and what 'd he have to say for himself ? nicole : [ sighs ] you know , he was all over the place . he was acting strange , and then he just took off . eric : really ? you know , i ran into ciara earlier , and she said something similar . he seemed to be a bit off his game . nicole : that 's a nice way of putting it . i just want to know what the hell game it is . brady : xander , why do n't you just -- why do n't you just go ? xander : sarah and i are in the middle of a conversation . brady : well , sarah 's with me now , so you need to back off and just go . xander : yeah . i believe that . i believe this is all just an act intended to scare me off , but i 'm not scared , and i 'd like to finish what we were talking about . brady : she does n't want to talk to you . xander : stay out of this . sarah and i have a lot to straighten out , alone . brady : i 'm not gon na leave you alone with her , not after what you did to her . xander : i made a lot of terrible mistakes , but everything 's out in the open now . brady : everything ? everything ? are you sure about that ? xander : of course i 'm sure . i let sarah fall in love with a baby that was n't hers , and i 'm deeply sorry for that . brady : well , that 's nice . hey . are you also deeply sorry about trying to take her baby away before it was even born ? [ dramatic music ] i wanted more from my copd medicine , sarah : brady , what are you talking about ? xander : it 's just nonsense , as usual . come on , sarah , do n't listen to him . let 's go somewhere private and work all this out . brady : private ? yeah , private , maybe like the brookville clinic . that 's private . sarah : why would you bring that up ? brady : well , they -- they really value privacy there . sarah : yeah , but that has nothing to do with what we 're talking about . xander : sarah , please , let 's just find somewhere where we can talk . brady : why ? because you do n't want to talk about what happened at the brookville clinic when she went to get an abortion ? sarah : how do you know about that ? brady : hmm , how do i know about that , xander ? xander : nothing happened at brookville . i should know . i took sarah there myself . brady : because she did n't want eric and nicole to find out that she was pregnant with eric 's baby because she did n't want to do anything to dismantle their happiness , right ? xander : right . it was the most selfless thing i 've -- i 've ever seen anyone do , and i told sarah that i support her no matter what decision she made about her own pregnancy . brady : did you tell her how you were going to help rolf steal her embryo out of her body and have it implanted into kristen 's womb ? ciara : and after all the hard work i put into filing these reports , he just -- he what ? he throws them in the trash ? i -- ben : ciara , he 's probably threatened by you . ciara : why , ben ? he 's the ceo . ben : because he knows victor 's in your corner . he knows you 're the rising star . you 're brilliant , and everybody here knows you 're gon na do great . ciara : yeah , well , obviously brady does n't think so . ben : who gives a damn ? you keep doing what you 're doing . ciara : how is it that you know exactly what to say to make me feel better ? ben : because seeing you happy is the only thing that makes me happy . [ romantic music ] ciara : so how did things go with jake after i left ? is he still stonewalling you about the guys who attacked us in the garage ? ben : actually , no . he told me the whole story . [ foreboding music ] jake : whoa . what 's shakin ' , jake ? jake : what the hell are you doing ? ah - ah - ah - ah . i would n't -- i would n't -- i would n't do that . gabi : yeah , don't . he 's got a gun , okay ? jake : let her go . your business is with me . well , you know what i 'm after , so hand it over . gabi : whatever it is , just give it to him . jake : i do n't have it . gabi : what the hell 's wrong with you ? jake : i am telling you the truth . i do n't have it . [ sighs ] well , then you better go get it , or i 'm gon na off your little wife right here and now . hmm ? marlena : come here . honey , you ca n't compare your situation to anybody else 's . claire : well , why not ? ben weston is the necktie killer , grandma . he murdered people , and now he 's free to walk the streets of salem . marlena : he 's not the same person that he was . i know that because i treated him myself . i vouched for his recovery . claire : okay , well , can you do the same for me ? look , i just do n't see how anyone can look at what i did and say that i deserve to be punished more than he did . marlena : this is not punishment . claire , it 's a hospital . you 're here because you did some very bad things . claire : oh , i am not saying that i did n't deserve to be in here . no , i know how wrong it was of me to set those fires . but i was n't myself then , either . grandma , i would never , ever do something like that again . marlena : i 'd like to believe that . claire : well , please , please , grandma , believe it . look , i 've learned everything there is to learn in here . now i -- i want to make amends to the people that i hurt and the people that i love . you know , you and grandpa and my parents . well , you guys have come here to visit me a lot , and so you know how much i 've changed and how hard i 've worked , but since i have n't seen ciara the whole time i 've been in here , she 's just obviously still too upset with me to want to visit , so i want to make amends to her . actually , i need to make amends to her more than anyone else , okay , and if i get out of here , i know that i can do that , okay ? i just let her down so badly . marlena : you did n't just let her down . claire : i know , i know . she was n't just my family . she was my best friend before all this happened and before i lost control . marlena : before you tried to kill her . claire : and i regret that every single day . i miss her . i want to get back to the way we were when we were close . i need her to know that i still love and care about her , and look , if i get out of here , i know that i can do that , but you 're the only person who can help me . claire : please , grandma . look , i 've done the work , i swear i have , and i know that i can lead a good and decent life now , if only i can just have the chance . marlena : i 'll talk to your doctors . claire : thank you , thank you , thank you so much ! oh ! oh ... marlena : claire , claire , take it easy . claire : okay . marlena : look , i just want to talk to them and see how they feel about your case , and -- but no guarantees here . it does n't mean that you 're gon na get what it is you want . claire : i know , i know , i know . just please tell them how well i 'm doing . they 'll listen to you . marlena : all right , i will talk to them , and i -- i 'll get back to you right afterwards . claire : okay . okay . i love you , grandma . i love you , i love you , i love you . oh ... marlena : okay , honey . there you go . claire : okay . marlena : bye . claire : bye . ooh . [ sighs ] eric : i know how you must feel to think that brady walked out on you , but you do n't need him . you can run basic black on your own . nicole : [ scoffs ] eric : all right , i just want you to set some company goals and see them through without anyone standing in your way . nicole : you know what ? you 're right . i 'm gon na kill this . eric : of course i 'm right . nicole : [ laughs ] eric : and of course you are . [ romantic music ] sarah : you were gon na help kristen and rolf take an embryo out of my body and put it into her ? brady : pretty sick . xander : sarah -- sarah : i -- how could you do something so -- i do n't even have the words for what that is . xander : i did n't go through with it , obviously . brady : right , only because rolf found out that kristen was already pregnant . xander : exactly . it never happened . it was all just talk . sarah : talk ? xander : yeah , th -- rolf never laid a hand on you . sarah : but he would 've , and you were gon na help him do it . xander : come on , sarah . i mean , you were there to have an abortion . it 's not like you actually wanted the baby . [ dramatic music ] facing leaks takes strength . nicole : [ laughs ] wow . thank you for the vote of confidence . eric : yeah , well , i 'm not really sure you needed it , because i already think you know what a terrific businesswoman you are . nicole : yes , i do , and i also know how damn lucky i am to be the fiancée of the most wonderful man in the world . [ romantic music ] [ sighs ] oh , what 's that ? eric : oh . um , ciara , she gave that to me earlier . you know what she said ? that she would really like you to be there . nicole : aww . oh , their wedding 's in july . we do n't want to have our wedding at the same time . eric : yeah , i guess not . nicole : so i guess ours will have to be in august or maybe september . eric : or we can get married before ciara and ben , or why not right away ? nicole : well , that 's -- that 's not enough time to plan . eric : [ chuckles ] who needs a plan ? as long as i got you and holly and the justice of the peace , i do n't really care about the hoopla . nicole : i -- i -- i guess , but baby , do n't you want your friends and family to be there ? eric : honestly , i really do n't care who 's there . we can have a party anytime . nicole : [ scoffs ] eric : i just want to be married to you . we 've waited a lifetime to be together . my marriage is important , not the wedding . nicole : you are so amazing . [ both laugh ] eric : okay . so what do you say ? nicole : [ sighs ] i say that sounds wonderful . [ romantic music ] [ both laughing ] xander : that came out the wrong way . sarah : oh , i think you made it very clear . you believe that it 's okay to take an embryo out of me because i did n't want the baby ? xander : this whole insane idea was kristen 's . sarah : that 's even worse . xander : it was a terrible idea , but i was a different person then , and what matters is it did n't happen . sarah : but you were gon na sit by and do nothing while they violated my body . xander : it was n't like that . come on , sarah , you know me . i -- i stood by you through your pregnancy . i wanted to marry you . i -- i delivered your little girl . i brought her into this world . sarah : yeah , and then you lied to me for months when you knew that she died that very night . xander : because i could n't bear to see you hurt . sarah : i am so sick of your justifications and your rationalizations . you think that you can get out of this just because you say that you love me . xander : i did . i do . sarah : it 's meaningless . it is meaningless , xander . what matters are your actions , so in case i did n't make this any clearer earlier , you and i are done . xander : sarah , please . sarah : come on . let 's go . brady : you got it .

[ mysterious music ] [ sighs ] i 'm sorry , ciara . i ca n't have you building up titan when i 'm gon na rip it down . [ cell phone beeps ] maggie 's free . that 's good . that 's good . she deserves it after what she 's been through . that son of a bitch victor that does n't deserve to have her as a wife ... [ knock on door ] nicole : oh , look at that . it is true . i suppose i should congratulate you on getting your old job back . too bad you had to screw me over to do it . xander : sarah ... sarah : i 'm just here to talk to my mom . xander : please , sarah , wait . [ dramatic music ] male announcer : like sands through the hourglass , so are the `` days of our lives . `` [ soft orchestration ] xander : sarah , please , let 's talk . sarah : the only person that i want to talk to is my mom . mom ! she said she was coming home today . xander : she was here a minute ago . she and victor must have gone upstairs together . sarah : victor 's here ? xander : yeah , sonny and will brought him back from the hospital . i suspect maggie and victor wanted some time alone . sarah : okay , well , i do n't want to interrupt their ... reunion . plus , i might lose it on victor again , so ... xander : again ? sarah : i saw victor at the hospital , and he and i might have had words about what you two did to me . xander : only words ? sarah : if marlena had n't turned up , i do n't know what i would have done . xander : i do n't blame you , and look , i -- i know you 're still upset with me too . sarah : you think ? xander : sarah , if you want to vent some anger at me , go ahead . if you want to punch me , hit me -- whatever you want to do , i deserve it . just let me have it . eric : well , hello , there . ciara : hi . i 'm actually really happy that i ran into you . this is for you and nicole . eric : what is this ? ciara : it is a save the date , 'cause i would n't want you missing my wedding . eric : [ laughs ] wow . i 'm very happy for you . ciara : yeah , thank you . i really hope that nicole can make it too . eric : of course . ciara : yeah . eric : i do n't know if you 've heard , but we got engaged . ciara : what ? eric : yeah . ciara : really ? that 's amazing . wow . eric : thank you . you know , kind of crazy to say , but i think things are turning around for this family . ciara : you know what ? i hope that you 're right . we should really catch up or something later , but right now , i have to get back to the office . eric : yeah , i heard you 're back at titan . ciara : yeah . yeah . and brady is actually back as ceo . eric : i heard . nicole , when she showed up at basic black this morning , she found out he was gone . never even bothered to let her know . nicole : i ca n't believe that i had to find out from the janitor that you quit basic black . brady : nicole , it happened fast . it happened really quickly . i had the opportunity to take charge again . i took it . i 'm sure you understand . nicole : no , actually , i don't . i 'm your friend , and i 've had your back through some pretty dark times . brady : and i 've had yours . nicole : i know , but we were partners , and you at least owe me the respect to tell me to my face that you were leaving . brady : i know what i 'm doing . nicole : all right , before you give me any excuses , wait a minute . brady , i -- i know that you 've been through a lot . kristen left you , and she took your baby with her . but now xander 's telling me that you 're making the moves on sarah ? brady : i do n't see how that would matter to you at all . nicole : you do n't ? because i do n't understand . do n't you still love kristen ? i know how crushed you were when she left you . brady : look -- look -- look , i know what i 'm doing . this is just the beginning . it 's just the beginning of my plan . please . nicole : your plan . okay , so then why would n't you talk about your plan to your family or your friends or maybe go to a meeting ? [ sighs ] okay , so you quit your job , and now you jump into bed with your brother 's ex . brady : nicole , kristen 's gone , all right ? i could n't be at basic black anymore . there was too many reminders of her everywhere . i needed a fresh start , okay ? if you ca n't understand that , then i 'm sorry . nicole : is that your attempt at an apology ? because if it was , you failed miserably . marlena : claire , you know , you -- you have your own doctors here , and it 's for them to decide when you 're going to be released . claire : yeah , but dr . grantham said i 'm doing really well , and i 'm sure he would be open to talking to you . i mean , all you really have to do is tell him that you think i 'm well enough to come home . marlena : claire -- claire : you 're on my side , are n't you ? marlena : oh , of course i 'm on your side . i 'm always on your side . it 's just that this -- claire : what ? what ? just that what ? marlena : [ sighs ] this seems a little bit rushed and a little bit desperate , and it makes me wonder what 's happened , why it 's so urgent for you to get out of here right away . my gums are irritated . what did you stash in your bag just now ? gabi : that 's none of your business . i mean , who are you ? none of your business . gabi : i got ta get going , so -- uh - uh - uh , let 's see what we have and why we 're hiding it . gabi : do n't touch that . you 're going to contaminate that . what the hell is this ? gabi : just do n't touch it . whatever . where is it ? gabi : where 's what ? what are you looking for ? never mind . i 'm not gon na waste any more time on you . just tell me , where 's your little boyfriend ? gabi : my boyfriend ? you 're in jake 's apartment by yourself , going through his stuff , stealing his toothbrush . he 's got to be somebody to you . gabi : yeah , he is , but he 's not my boyfriend . he is my husband . jake : what , you have a better offer than coming to work for me at the garage ? ben : [ scoffs ] not at the moment . jake : that 's what i thought . ben : but i am gon na need to know what your plan is when it comes to dealing with these old friends of yours , because i 'm definitely not looking to get beat up again . jake : those guys are gon na be gone once i give them back what i took from their boss . ben : but you said to me that you ca n't give back what you took from their boss because your ex took it from you when she cleaned you out . jake : [ sighs ] gwen . her name is gwen . ben : gwen , okay . do we have any way of tracking gwen down ? jake : i 've given it some thought . ben : well , you said you came here because you thought she was headed here to salem . jake : right . she left philly , took a flight to chicago , then she took a train to salem , but that 's where the trail went cold . ben : so why do you think she wanted to come to salem ? jake : i have no clue . as far as i know , she does n't have any friends or family here , and i told you , i was gon na leave myself , but i ran out of money , so i took the job at the garage . ben : okay , so what ? we 're just gon na forget about tracking down gwen ? jake : no , i -- i ca n't go back on the hunt until i get paid for the work i 'm doing at the garage , and this whole thing with the gabi lady has been quite a distraction . ben : so she 's still hounding you about being stefan ? jake : let 's hope she 's taking a break . ben : sounds like you 're stuck . jake : yeah , i ca n't move until i give these guys what they 're looking for , but i ca n't give them what they 're looking for because i do n't know where gwen is . ben : i told you i 've done some security work for stefan dimera , but i also have some skills that might help you track down your ex . you said you needed my help . why do n't you let me help you find her ? brady : look , nic , i really am sorry for leaving you in the lurch at basic black . that was not my intention . nicole : but you did n't think of me at all , did you ? brady : honestly , my head has been all over the place since kristen left with rachel . this -- this -- this job was an opportunity to get control again . nicole : control of what ? brady : everything . everything . i just need you to back off a little bit and let me do what i need to do , please . nicole : mm - hmm . but you have n't told me what that is . making the moves on sarah ? brady : nic , i know what i 'm doing . nicole : no , i do n't think you do . brady : yes , i do . nicole : i think you 're going off the rails . oh , you know , you 're just pissed off at xander , and this is your way of getting back at him . so you take his job at the same time you 're taking his girl . brady : xander deserves to have everything taken away from him . nicole : i could n't agree more , but what about his partner ? your grandfather ? brady : what about victor ? nicole : he lied to you . he took away your job , your child . is n't there a part of you that wants to see him suffer too ? brady : oh , you know , i -- i ca n't do this . i 'm not gon na do this right now . maggie -- i got a text . maggie is free . she 's out of prison . i 'm gon na go see how she 's doing . nicole : wait . you 're not just gon na leave , are you ? brady : i need to check on her . nicole : hey , wait a minute . brady ! [ scoffs ] well , i guess you are . xander : look , i -- i know it 's hard for you to be around me right now . sarah : it makes me sick . xander : i understand . i betrayed your trust . when your mom and i were waiting to hear back about her case , we had a long talk about it . sarah : you know what ? she should hate you as much as i do . xander : well , she -- she 's pretty furious , but she understands that everything i did was for you . she knows that i still love you . sarah : i am so sick of hearing that . xander : if your mother can understand it , why ca n't you ? sarah : oh , i do . i get it . when marlena saw me losing it on victor , she pulled me out of the room , and she talked me down and called me on my anger . and then she suggested that it was n't just because the fact that you had lied to me that i could n't get over . xander : then what was it ? sarah : how can someone who loves you betray you like that ? marlena : you feel that 's what it was ? you feel that was a betrayal ? sarah : among other things . marlena : but not only by victor ? sarah : no . xander too . the man i ... stupidly almost married and raised a child with . i think that 's the hardest part , because i ... marlena : because you what ? sarah : nothing . it does n't matter . marlena : it matters . were you about to say because you still love him ? xander : sarah . are you gon na tell me ? nyquil severe gives you powerful relief xander : sarah . look , i know there 's a lot you need to get past . i 'm not asking you to forgive me today , but maybe someday . i love you , sarah . you 're everything to me , and i really do believe that deep down , some part of you still loves me too . am i right ? [ door opens ] brady : oh , baby , what 's going on ? this guy still bugging you ? [ tense music ] ciara : i , uh , i understand why nicole would be upset with brady for bailing on her , but i do n't know , i think he 's focused on other things . he 's kind of off his game . eric : yeah ? how so ? ciara : i do n't know . he was acting all powerful and in - charge , but i mean , he barely listened to any of my ideas . it was like he had already decided to reject them . eric : i 'm sure he 's got a lot on his mind as the new boss . ciara : yeah , all right , but i do n't know , how long is grandpa gon na let him stay on as ceo if he 's already gon na tank the company ? claire : you think me wanting to go home is sudden ? grandma , i have been locked up here for almost two years . that 's like 10 % of my life . marlena : i know , i know , and i never would 've wished that for you , but claire , you were sick . you needed this help . claire : yeah , i know , and my doctors and therapists have given me that help . you know , they 've actually told me that my progress has exceeded all their expectations . marlena : aw , i 'm so happy to hear that . claire : i have done everything asked of me : individual therapy , group therapy , exercise class , meditation . i try to be as welcoming as i can to newcomers . i 'm even helping out the leader of the musical therapy group , and whenever i sing after dinner , the whole entire place comes to watch . marlena : oh , that makes me so happy . claire : everyone says that i am the perfect patient . what else am i supposed to do to prove myself ? marlena : well , you do n't have to do anything , darling . you 've already done everything that was asked of you . claire : then why am i still here ? if ben weston can be released from bayview , why ca n't i ? jake : i ca n't have you help me track down gwen . it has nothing to do with you . ben : i was attacked . twice . so whether i like it or not , i 'm already involved , and it seems to me like it would be in my best interest if i just found these guys , gave them what they wanted , and sent them on their merry way . jake : [ sighs ] fine . if you believe you can help me out , i 'm glad to take the assist . ben : well , good . i 'll see what i can find on gwen , but first , i 'm gon na need to drop in on ciara . jake : everything all right with her ? ben : yeah , yeah . it 's her first day back at her job , and i thought it 'd be nice if i dropped some flowers to the fiancée . jake : ah . ben : fiancée . jake : [ laughs ] still not used to calling her that ? ben : nope , but i kind of like it . jake : well , tell her i said congratulations . ben : i will . jake : i 'm gon na get back to the garage . those ignition coils are calling my name . [ tense music ] jake 's your husband . oh . gabi : oh ! this is gon na work out well for me . that means you 're gon na make the perfect hostage . gabi : hostage ? yeah , well , let 's just call you a solid bargaining chip . gabi : wh -- what ? what do you want ? well , your husband has something that belongs to my boss . little jakie 's been playing hard to get , but now that i have his lovely wife , i 'm sure he 's gon na want to hand it over . gabi : look , i 'm sorry to spoil your plan , but i do n't think that 's gon na work . oh ... i do . i do . chances are you know us . why do n't you give your hubby a call ? gabi : okay . let me be honest . there 's been a misunderstanding . he -- he 's not my husband . you just said he was . gabi : no , i know , i know . but it 's -- it 's complicated . it does n't sound that complicated . gabi : it is , though . it is . he 's -- okay , my real husband , his name is -- is stefan dimera . save it , girl . gabi : no , really . okay . look , if i call this jake person , he 's not gon na care . he hates me . i 'm basically a worthless hostage . you should just let me go right now , okay ? and then what ? gabi : well , then i 'll go talk to jake , and i 'll make sure he cooperates any way that you would like . actually , give me your information , i 'll jot it down , and then i 'll find him and -- let 's just keep it simple . either you call your husband or whoever he is and get him to give me what i came for , or i 'll blow your pretty little head off . ciara : hey , brady , i brought you a ... coffee . well ... hmm . [ scoffs ] [ tense music ] ben : hey , you . ciara : [ sighs ] hey . ben , what are you doing here ? ben : what am i doing here ? well , i 'm certainly not here to give you these . ciara : oh , wow , they 're beautiful . ben : you 're beautiful . something 's wrong . what is it ? ciara : [ sighs ] i 'm not really sure . eric : hey . nicole : hi . [ chuckles ] eric : you know , i stopped by basic black to check on you , and you were n't there . nicole : no , i was visiting brady at titan . eric : oh . and what 'd he have to say for himself ? nicole : [ sighs ] you know , he was all over the place . he was acting strange , and then he just took off . eric : really ? you know , i ran into ciara earlier , and she said something similar . he seemed to be a bit off his game . nicole : that 's a nice way of putting it . i just want to know what the hell game it is . brady : xander , why do n't you just -- why do n't you just go ? xander : sarah and i are in the middle of a conversation . brady : well , sarah 's with me now , so you need to back off and just go . xander : yeah . i believe that . i believe this is all just an act intended to scare me off , but i 'm not scared , and i 'd like to finish what we were talking about . brady : she does n't want to talk to you . xander : stay out of this . sarah and i have a lot to straighten out , alone . brady : i 'm not gon na leave you alone with her , not after what you did to her . xander : i made a lot of terrible mistakes , but everything 's out in the open now . brady : everything ? everything ? are you sure about that ? xander : of course i 'm sure . i let sarah fall in love with a baby that was n't hers , and i 'm deeply sorry for that . brady : well , that 's nice . hey . are you also deeply sorry about trying to take her baby away before it was even born ? [ dramatic music ] i wanted more from my copd medicine , sarah : brady , what are you talking about ? xander : it 's just nonsense , as usual . come on , sarah , do n't listen to him . let 's go somewhere private and work all this out . brady : private ? yeah , private , maybe like the brookville clinic . that 's private . sarah : why would you bring that up ? brady : well , they -- they really value privacy there . sarah : yeah , but that has nothing to do with what we 're talking about . xander : sarah , please , let 's just find somewhere where we can talk . brady : why ? because you do n't want to talk about what happened at the brookville clinic when she went to get an abortion ? sarah : how do you know about that ? brady : hmm , how do i know about that , xander ? xander : nothing happened at brookville . i should know . i took sarah there myself . brady : because she did n't want eric and nicole to find out that she was pregnant with eric 's baby because she did n't want to do anything to dismantle their happiness , right ? xander : right . it was the most selfless thing i 've -- i 've ever seen anyone do , and i told sarah that i support her no matter what decision she made about her own pregnancy . brady : did you tell her how you were going to help rolf steal her embryo out of her body and have it implanted into kristen 's womb ? ciara : and after all the hard work i put into filing these reports , he just -- he what ? he throws them in the trash ? i -- ben : ciara , he 's probably threatened by you . ciara : why , ben ? he 's the ceo . ben : because he knows victor 's in your corner . he knows you 're the rising star . you 're brilliant , and everybody here knows you 're gon na do great . ciara : yeah , well , obviously brady does n't think so . ben : who gives a damn ? you keep doing what you 're doing . ciara : how is it that you know exactly what to say to make me feel better ? ben : because seeing you happy is the only thing that makes me happy . [ romantic music ] ciara : so how did things go with jake after i left ? is he still stonewalling you about the guys who attacked us in the garage ? ben : actually , no . he told me the whole story . [ foreboding music ] jake : whoa . what 's shakin ' , jake ? jake : what the hell are you doing ? ah - ah - ah - ah . i would n't -- i would n't -- i would n't do that . gabi : yeah , don't . he 's got a gun , okay ? jake : let her go . your business is with me . well , you know what i 'm after , so hand it over . gabi : whatever it is , just give it to him . jake : i do n't have it . gabi : what the hell 's wrong with you ? jake : i am telling you the truth . i do n't have it . [ sighs ] well , then you better go get it , or i 'm gon na off your little wife right here and now . hmm ? marlena : come here . honey , you ca n't compare your situation to anybody else 's . claire : well , why not ? ben weston is the necktie killer , grandma . he murdered people , and now he 's free to walk the streets of salem . marlena : he 's not the same person that he was . i know that because i treated him myself . i vouched for his recovery . claire : okay , well , can you do the same for me ? look , i just do n't see how anyone can look at what i did and say that i deserve to be punished more than he did . marlena : this is not punishment . claire , it 's a hospital . you 're here because you did some very bad things . claire : oh , i am not saying that i did n't deserve to be in here . no , i know how wrong it was of me to set those fires . but i was n't myself then , either . grandma , i would never , ever do something like that again . marlena : i 'd like to believe that . claire : well , please , please , grandma , believe it . look , i 've learned everything there is to learn in here . now i -- i want to make amends to the people that i hurt and the people that i love . you know , you and grandpa and my parents . well , you guys have come here to visit me a lot , and so you know how much i 've changed and how hard i 've worked , but since i have n't seen ciara the whole time i 've been in here , she 's just obviously still too upset with me to want to visit , so i want to make amends to her . actually , i need to make amends to her more than anyone else , okay , and if i get out of here , i know that i can do that , okay ? i just let her down so badly . marlena : you did n't just let her down . claire : i know , i know . she was n't just my family . she was my best friend before all this happened and before i lost control . marlena : before you tried to kill her . claire : and i regret that every single day . i miss her . i want to get back to the way we were when we were close . i need her to know that i still love and care about her , and look , if i get out of here , i know that i can do that , but you 're the only person who can help me . claire : please , grandma . look , i 've done the work , i swear i have , and i know that i can lead a good and decent life now , if only i can just have the chance . marlena : i 'll talk to your doctors . claire : thank you , thank you , thank you so much ! oh ! oh ... marlena : claire , claire , take it easy . claire : okay . marlena : look , i just want to talk to them and see how they feel about your case , and -- but no guarantees here . it does n't mean that you 're gon na get what it is you want . claire : i know , i know , i know . just please tell them how well i 'm doing . they 'll listen to you . marlena : all right , i will talk to them , and i -- i 'll get back to you right afterwards . claire : okay . okay . i love you , grandma . i love you , i love you , i love you . oh ... marlena : okay , honey . there you go . claire : okay . marlena : bye . claire : bye . ooh . [ sighs ] eric : i know how you must feel to think that brady walked out on you , but you do n't need him . you can run basic black on your own . nicole : [ scoffs ] eric : all right , i just want you to set some company goals and see them through without anyone standing in your way . nicole : you know what ? you 're right . i 'm gon na kill this . eric : of course i 'm right . nicole : [ laughs ] eric : and of course you are . [ romantic music ] sarah : you were gon na help kristen and rolf take an embryo out of my body and put it into her ? brady : pretty sick . xander : sarah -- sarah : i -- how could you do something so -- i do n't even have the words for what that is . xander : i did n't go through with it , obviously . brady : right , only because rolf found out that kristen was already pregnant . xander : exactly . it never happened . it was all just talk . sarah : talk ? xander : yeah , th -- rolf never laid a hand on you . sarah : but he would 've , and you were gon na help him do it . xander : come on , sarah . i mean , you were there to have an abortion . it 's not like you actually wanted the baby . [ dramatic music ] facing leaks takes strength . nicole : [ laughs ] wow . thank you for the vote of confidence . eric : yeah , well , i 'm not really sure you needed it , because i already think you know what a terrific businesswoman you are . nicole : yes , i do , and i also know how damn lucky i am to be the fiancée of the most wonderful man in the world . [ romantic music ] [ sighs ] oh , what 's that ? eric : oh . um , ciara , she gave that to me earlier . you know what she said ? that she would really like you to be there . nicole : aww . oh , their wedding 's in july . we do n't want to have our wedding at the same time . eric : yeah , i guess not . nicole : so i guess ours will have to be in august or maybe september . eric : or we can get married before ciara and ben , or why not right away ? nicole : well , that 's -- that 's not enough time to plan . eric : [ chuckles ] who needs a plan ? as long as i got you and holly and the justice of the peace , i do n't really care about the hoopla . nicole : i -- i -- i guess , but baby , do n't you want your friends and family to be there ? eric : honestly , i really do n't care who 's there . we can have a party anytime . nicole : [ scoffs ] eric : i just want to be married to you . we 've waited a lifetime to be together . my marriage is important , not the wedding . nicole : you are so amazing . [ both laugh ] eric : okay . so what do you say ? nicole : [ sighs ] i say that sounds wonderful .

[ scene_break ] amanda : just because david 's holding all the cards , it does n't mean this is right . jake : well , maybe we 're lucky he 's not asking for more . amanda : asking for more ? no sex and locked in that mausoleum for nine months ? jake : honey , if you are saying no to this because you 're afraid that saying yes means he 's going to really stick it to me , then you -- amanda : well , he is . jake : babe , what 's really important to you in this life ? amanda : jake , what is important to me has not changed . it is you , trevor , and this new baby . jake : well , i have said this before . i ca n't tell you what to do with your body . but if this is going to work , we need to treat it like it 's a business deal . you know ? and what you said before is true . he is -- he 's holding all the cards . so if -- if we do this , we get our life back , we get our family back in nine months , right ? can you wait nine months ? i -- i can wait nine months .

[ scene_break ] annie : i thought it was `` game over `` at the park . ryan stopped me before i could get to emma . scott : but not before adam found her . annie : the thing is , she did n't tell him that he 's the one who killed stuart . instead , she listened to him and saw how sad he was , and saying how stuart 's death was a horrible accident . scott : well , what was her reaction ? annie : she seemed relieved . scott : no , it ca n't be that simple . annie : no , i think she saw how sad adam was , and she felt bad for him . scott : even so , annie -- annie : do you understand how great this is ? it means everything is done . it is perfect . i can move on with my wedding , and all the skeptics can shut up . scott : no , will you shut up ? just -- listen , hear me out , ok ? what -- whatever happened between emma and adam in the park , maybe it does n't matter . annie : what are you saying ? scott : i 'm talking about uncle adam . he was always so dependent on my father telling him the right thing to do , even if he did n't do it . and now it 's as if he 's trying , but he just does n't know how to get there . annie : i -- i do n't understand what you 're talking about . scott : no , i think you do . i know that i said that it was best to keep this secret buried -- for adam 's sake , not to add more pain on top of pain . but i do n't know anymore . annie : ok . ok , well , i know . this is all finally coming together , and now you 're having second thoughts ? come on , i thought you cared about me , scott . i thought i could trust and confide in you about this . scott : no , i do care about you -- annie : please , please , please , please . please , i 'm begging you , i 'm begging you . we have to stay strong . [ scene_break ] liza : wow , you are a piece of work . david : i 've been called worse . liza : for good reason . david : i see it all as a compliment to me , liza . when people are that frustrated with you , usually it means you 're winning . liza : can -- do i need to remind you that amanda just ripped up the contract ? david : hmm . and i believe she 's going to be back here in a minute asking for a new copy . liza : well , you are pretty sure of yourself . david : i just know she 's going to realize that this is the best deal she 's going to get . liza : what , and jake is supposed to just be ok with this and let her just sign the contract ? david : jake is the reason she 's in this mess in the first place . liza : well , that might be true , but it 's still not going to sit well with them . david : well , if she was n't so damn caught up in making him happy , she would have signed on the dotted line by now . but i get the feeling she 's getting that now . [ scene_break ] brot : you know what ? that 's probably good enough . natalia : well , come on . i mean , if you can get this messy from working on the car to get us both out of here , it 's the least i can do . brot : ok . well , i am a little different from you , though . natalia : ok . what 's that supposed to mean ? brot : it means i am the kind of guy who analyzes everybody . i 've always been that way . i 'm pretty good at it , too . natalia : well , do n't keep me in suspense . brot : ok . you like to put your guard up around strangers . probably a good trait for a cop , because you play things close to the vest . blend into the woodwork , try not to be noticed . it 's probably something you picked up from your dad while he was on the run . natalia : i 'm listening . brot : but when i look close , i see you trying to keep people from noticing how you like to push yourself . you get a charge out of setting goals and reaching them all by yourself . independent , which is very cool . and pretty hot , too . but we 're talking about what 's on the inside , right ?

[ stammering ] then he asked what that meant for us , and you know , we got interrupted ; all these things happened , so next time he asks , i 'll say that ... these feelings -- memories -- do n't change anything . you know he and i are still together , and there 's nothing to worry about . sonny : next time i see him , i 'm gon na let him know that i care about him and that we 're always gon na be friends ... and if he needs anything , i 'll be there for him . will : okay . so ... i guess this is good - bye . sonny : i 'm not gon na talk to you about my personal life just so you feel better . are you honestly trying to take credit because you almost killed will ? ben : you know something ? when i got out of that mental hospital , i could have gone anywhere . but i came back here , where i knew everybody hated me , because i sincerely wanted to make amends . sonny : amends ? for killing people ? ben : i was sick ! i was sick when i did those things . nobody cares about that . and i 'm getting really tired of people treating me like something they scraped off their shoe . sonny : it 's starting to build up again inside of you , is n't it ? the rage ? ben , they made a huge mistake letting you out of that hospital . and it 's only a matter of time before you mess up and get locked up again . wyatt : i heard ben set that cabin on fire because he knew ciara was inside with a broken leg and could n't move . and he got away with it . rafe : where 'd you buy the accelerant ? wyatt : brookville hardware . hope : do you remember what the clerk looked like ? wyatt : he wo n't remember me . i was wearing sunglasses and a baseball hat . hope : how did you get ben 's print on the can ? wyatt : pretty good with a computer . i hacked into the sanitarium 's database and got ben 's fingerprints and then i - i transferred a thumbprint onto the can and planted it behind the bush with the thorns on it . it really was n't very hard . hope : why come forward now ? rafe : you do know that planting evidence is a crime . if you were a cop , it would be a felony . wyatt : but i 'm not a cop . i 'm just an interested citizen trying to put a sick puppy back where he belongs . so what 's gon na happen to me now ? ciara : why are you two talking about planted evidence ? tripp : uh , it was because -- claire : 'cause your mom and rafe were just here , and they questioned tripp about it . ciara : why ? claire : they had some crazy idea that it was him . ciara : why would they think it was you ? i mean , you wouldn't ... you would n't do something like that , would you ? [ tense music ] stefan : you 're right . you 're right . no matter what i do , abigail will always go back to chad . because ... you set her up to make everyone believe that her did returned when it hadn't . gabby is the only part of her that wants any part of me . and i need to accept that i 've lost the love of my life , and you need to accept that your little scheme here is going up in smoke .

[ scoffs ] that 'll make a difference for sure . rafe : hold on there , slick . now , just because the evidence against you is manufactured ... hope : does n't mean you 're off the hook for setting the fire that almost killed my daughter . stefan : all i care about now is my baby . that 's all i have left of gabby , and once that child is born , that 's it . i 'm devoting my entire life to my son or daughter . gabi : oh , i get that . i totally get it . i have a daughter . and she means the world to me . i mean , the reason i started this little scheme , as you call it , is because i needed to get even with abigail for sending me to prison for a crime that she committed , a murder that she committed , taking me away from my daughter , okay ? and let me tell you , it took a very long time to get her trust back . that was very important to me , because she is the only child that i will ever be able to have . stefan : gabi , i know . look , i know all about your injuries and the beatings that you suffered in prison . i know all about that . and i truly am sorry for you , and i get why you 're angry . but i -- i do n't understand how any of that affects me . gabi : oh , okay , well , let me explain it to you . see , as much as chad and abigail love each other , that is how much they hate your freakin ' guts . so you have to understand that the minute your baby is born , abigail is gon na move heaven and earth to make sure you are not part of that baby 's life . heck , you 're probably gon na be alone while that child is being raised as a horton . think about that . gabby : you look a little surprised to see me . chad : no , i , uh ... i knew you were around somewhere . thanks to you , i had to have abby committed . gabby : did n't work , though , did it ? chad : yeah , i saw the real abby tonight . for a bit , i almost started believing i was wrong . gabby : she did her best to fight me off , i will give her that . but there were times when i was still calling the shots . i hit your friend gabi hernandez over the head with a tray , and i knocked kate roberts for a loop . and of course i sent that text message to stefan because ... i wanted him to know that i was still in on the game and that i was still in love with him . but i got to give it to abigail . she 's much stronger now . and for reasons that i will never understand , she only wants you . but having that baby gave me the strength to come in and take over . chad : so you make her do all the hard work , give birth . very motherly of you . gabby : i love that kid . its birth gave me a second chance at life . it 's a symbol of the love between stefan and me . chad : it 's not a symbol . it 's a human being . gabby : i know that . her pretty little face is the thing that gave me the strength to rise up , take control , and put abigail in the shadows where she belongs . everything that i feel in my heart is so strong , that i won the battle for abigail 's mind , body , and soul . so face it . you will never see abigail again . now , if you will excuse me , i would like to take my daughter to meet her father . chad : i dare you to take one more step . this holiday , no matter who 's on your list , tripp : i forgot to ask you , uh , how 'd it go helping julie out at doug 's place ? ciara : it was okay . tripp : did something bad happen to you while you were there ? ciara : why do you say that ? tripp : your face changed when i asked you how it went . ciara : i saw ben there . ben : well , you made your point . may i talk now ? hope : of course . please . the floor is yours . ben : thank you . do you think any of your pro bono lawyers would be willing to help me sue this department for harassment ? rafe : oh , hara -- oh . are you feeling harassed right now ? are you -- because my heart -- my heart -- it 's hurting . it 's bleeding . ben : am i free to go now ? rafe : for now . ben : i should have known that apology you gave me was a bunch of bull .

[ trilling ] voila ! paul : uh ... so i 'm guessing you decided to go kind of minimalist . will : oh . crap . claire : tripp , tripp , i swear you are not gon na be in any trouble . tripp : clre , you were there when your grandma and rafe questioned me , okay . they did n't exactly believe what i said . claire : okay , well , what about what i said ? tripp , as we speak , there 's someone else taking the fall for planting the evidence . and he should be spilling his guts ... right about now . rafe : you have the right to a lawyer if you want one . wyatt : i do n't need a lawyer . i just -- i want to take responsibility for what i did . hope : will you repeat for the record what you told us when you first walked in here ? wyatt : um , well , i 'm the one that put that can of ... you know , accelerant outside the cabin that burned down . but first i put ben weston 's fingerprint on it . did you get all that ? ben : thank you ... for saying what you did . it was very kind of you . well , doug and julie are definitely not going to give me a job ... so i should probably get back out there , right ? find another place . good luck , and i 'll see you . ciara : [ sighs ] chad : you feel better ? abigail : tired , but fine . chad : [ sighs ] i must say , you pulled through like a champ . abigail : so did you . different than when i had thomas . chad : hm . you know the second one 's supposed to be easier . so i hear . abigail : mm - hmm . she came early , but she 's healthy . and you were here . and not ben . chad : well , let 's not worry about him now , all right ? the important thing is , you have a beautiful baby girl , and you 're both healthy . i 'm thankful for that . stefan : hope brady and your brother were shocked when i told them chad kidnapped my pregnant wife . imagine their reaction when i tell them you were part of it . gabi : you really do n't want to do that . male announcer : like sands through the hourglass , so are the `` days of our lives . `` [ soft orchestration ] stefan : why would i not want the police to know that by your own admission you drugged a pregnant woman , falsely swore that that woman assaulted you , and conspired to convince both me and her ex - husband that she 's a danger to herself and others ? now , look , i am certainly no policeman , nor am i a da , but i think they can figure out which laws have been broken here . gabi : you 're gon na want to hold off on that for just a minute . okay , you 've been playing this game pretty smart , but i see you going head - to - head with chad and holding your own , and that 's great . and marrying abigail so that chad could n't have her committed -- that 's genius . but i just want to tell you that turning me into the police , that would be a very dumb move . stefan : you give me one good reason why i shouldn't . abigail : doing okay , honey ? chad : you sure she 's okay ? abigail : yeah , she 's eating like she is .

[ stammering ] then he asked what that meant for us , and you know , we got interrupted ; all these things happened , so next time he asks , i 'll say that ... these feelings -- memories -- do n't change anything . you know he and i are still together , and there 's nothing to worry about . sonny : next time i see him , i 'm gon na let him know that i care about him and that we 're always gon na be friends ... and if he needs anything , i 'll be there for him . will : okay . so ... i guess this is good - bye . sonny : i 'm not gon na talk to you about my personal life just so you feel better . are you honestly trying to take credit because you almost killed will ? ben : you know something ? when i got out of that mental hospital , i could have gone anywhere . but i came back here , where i knew everybody hated me , because i sincerely wanted to make amends . sonny : amends ? for killing people ? ben : i was sick ! i was sick when i did those things . nobody cares about that . and i 'm getting really tired of people treating me like something they scraped off their shoe . sonny : it 's starting to build up again inside of you , is n't it ? the rage ? ben , they made a huge mistake letting you out of that hospital . and it 's only a matter of time before you mess up and get locked up again . wyatt : i heard ben set that cabin on fire because he knew ciara was inside with a broken leg and could n't move . and he got away with it . rafe : where 'd you buy the accelerant ? wyatt : brookville hardware . hope : do you remember what the clerk looked like ? wyatt : he wo n't remember me . i was wearing sunglasses and a baseball hat . hope : how did you get ben 's print on the can ? wyatt : pretty good with a computer . i hacked into the sanitarium 's database and got ben 's fingerprints and then i - i transferred a thumbprint onto the can and planted it behind the bush with the thorns on it . it really was n't very hard . hope : why come forward now ? rafe : you do know that planting evidence is a crime . if you were a cop , it would be a felony . wyatt : but i 'm not a cop . i 'm just an interested citizen trying to put a sick puppy back where he belongs . so what 's gon na happen to me now ? ciara : why are you two talking about planted evidence ? tripp : uh , it was because -- claire : 'cause your mom and rafe were just here , and they questioned tripp about it . ciara : why ? claire : they had some crazy idea that it was him . ciara : why would they think it was you ? i mean , you wouldn't ... you would n't do something like that , would you ? [ tense music ] stefan : you 're right . you 're right . no matter what i do , abigail will always go back to chad . because ... you set her up to make everyone believe that her did returned when it hadn't . gabby is the only part of her that wants any part of me . and i need to accept that i 've lost the love of my life , and you need to accept that your little scheme here is going up in smoke .

[ dark music ] give me my kid . my digestive system used to make me feel sluggish rit : you know , this is a little loose . i 'm gon na go get my tools out of the truck . paul : no , no , no , you do n't have to do that . you 've already done so much for us . will : yeah , i mean , we can put a table together . i mean , paul can put a table together . he 's very good with his hands . rit : yeah , especially when they 're holding a baseball . will : yeah , how do you two know each other ? paul : uh , well , rit and his family -- they own a furniture business , and they asked me to do a couple commercials for them when i was playing ball . um , i did that because , well , they helped me with this move that i was , like , dreading . but their service when they did it was impeccable . will : oh , my gosh . you 're amazing . rit : that 's what we do . and i wan na see you on your feet as soon as possible . paul : oh , absolutely , man . and with all the love and support that i get here , i 'll be out of this chair and in one of yours in no time flat . rit : come here , buddy . paul : hey . thank you so much . thank you . rit : you 're welcome . will : thank you from both of us . thank you . rit : my pleasure . paul : welcome home . tripp : i do n't know why your mom and rafe decided to question me . ciara : well , there must have been a reason . claire : it 's because he 's your boyfriend , and he does n't like ben . of course he did n't do it , and honestly , i ca n't believe you 'd accuse him of something like that . ciara : i did n't accuse him of anything . i was just wondering why my mom and rafe talked to him . that 's -- that 's all . ciara : so maybe you should stay out of it , and maybe you should stop spreading lies about me too . claire : what ? okay , i - i really do n't know what you 're talking about . ciara : i 'm talking about you telling tripp that it was my idea to help ben find a job when we both know that that was your idea , claire . claire : uh , well , all i know is that you were just fine with it , so . sorry . my break 's over , but i 'll catch you guys later . [ phone rings ] rafe : [ sighs ] hope : ben . rafe : there he is . sorry to keep you waiting . we were actually trying to find your lawyer . hope : who seems to have disappeared off the face of the earth . rafe : you know , maybe we should call legal aid . ben : just tell me why i 'm here . hope : we asked you to come in so we could tell you that one of ciara 's friends came forward and confessed to planting that can of accelerant they found . ben : what friend of ciara 's ? rafe : well , the guy 's name 's wyatt stone , but the point is : it was n't hope . ben : what do you guys want from me ? you want , like , an apology or something ? hope : no . no , no , no . we just thought that you had the right to know . ben : thank you . what happens to this wyatt guy ? rafe : the da decided not to press charges . ben : why ? rafe : it would just be a misdemeanor . ben : [ sighs ] after all this . hope : got a stern warning . rafe : yeah . ben : oh , he got a stern -- a stern warning ? [ scoffs ] that 'll make a difference for sure . rafe : hold on there , slick . now , just because the evidence against you is manufactured ... hope : does n't mean you 're off the hook for setting the fire that almost killed my daughter . stefan : all i care about now is my baby . that 's all i have left of gabby , and once that child is born , that 's it . i 'm devoting my entire life to my son or daughter . gabi : oh , i get that . i totally get it . i have a daughter . and she means the world to me . i mean , the reason i started this little scheme , as you call it , is because i needed to get even with abigail for sending me to prison for a crime that she committed , a murder that she committed , taking me away from my daughter , okay ? and let me tell you , it took a very long time to get her trust back . that was very important to me , because she is the only child that i will ever be able to have . stefan : gabi , i know . look , i know all about your injuries and the beatings that you suffered in prison . i know all about that . and i truly am sorry for you , and i get why you 're angry . but i -- i do n't understand how any of that affects me . gabi : oh , okay , well , let me explain it to you . see , as much as chad and abigail love each other , that is how much they hate your freakin ' guts . so you have to understand that the minute your baby is born , abigail is gon na move heaven and earth to make sure you are not part of that baby 's life . heck , you 're probably gon na be alone while that child is being raised as a horton . think about that . gabby : you look a little surprised to see me . chad : no , i , uh ... i knew you were around somewhere . thanks to you , i had to have abby committed . gabby : did n't work , though , did it ? chad : yeah , i saw the real abby tonight . for a bit , i almost started believing i was wrong . gabby : she did her best to fight me off , i will give her that . but there were times when i was still calling the shots . i hit your friend gabi hernandez over the head with a tray , and i knocked kate roberts for a loop . and of course i sent that text message to stefan because ... i wanted him to know that i was still in on the game and that i was still in love with him . but i got to give it to abigail . she 's much stronger now . and for reasons that i will never understand , she only wants you . but having that baby gave me the strength to come in and take over . chad : so you make her do all the hard work , give birth . very motherly of you . gabby : i love that kid . its birth gave me a second chance at life . it 's a symbol of the love between stefan and me . chad : it 's not a symbol . it 's a human being . gabby : i know that . her pretty little face is the thing that gave me the strength to rise up , take control , and put abigail in the shadows where she belongs . everything that i feel in my heart is so strong , that i won the battle for abigail 's mind , body , and soul . so face it . you will never see abigail again . now , if you will excuse me , i would like to take my daughter to meet her father . chad : i dare you to take one more step . this holiday , no matter who 's on your list , tripp : i forgot to ask you , uh , how 'd it go helping julie out at doug 's place ? ciara : it was okay . tripp : did something bad happen to you while you were there ? ciara : why do you say that ? tripp : your face changed when i asked you how it went . ciara : i saw ben there . ben : well , you made your point . may i talk now ? hope : of course . please . the floor is yours . ben : thank you . do you think any of your pro bono lawyers would be willing to help me sue this department for harassment ? rafe : oh , hara -- oh . are you feeling harassed right now ? are you -- because my heart -- my heart -- it 's hurting . it 's bleeding . ben : am i free to go now ? rafe : for now . ben : i should have known that apology you gave me was a bunch of bull . [ phone rings ] rafe : ah . he 's getting steamed up . hope : yeah , he is , and i do n't like it . we need to nail him for that fire before he hurts someone else . will : hey . steady as a rock . paul : [ laughs ] will : okay , i 'm gon na go to the pub and get some food to put on it . paul : that 's a good idea . i 'm -- i 'm gon na work on these boxes here . will : oh , well , that is my stuff , so why do n't you just start with the kitchen . paul : okay . good idea . will : hey . i 'm glad you 're home . paul : [ sighs ] hey , i 'm really grateful that you 're here with me . will : i 'm grateful too . without you , i 'd be sleeping on the floor . i wo n't be long . stefan : [ scoffs ] gabi : you 're not saying anything . stefan : yeah . you know ... [ clears throat ] when i was first -- first thinking of coming here , after having lived all over the world , i had hope ; i had a mother ; i knew my father 's name . i thought i had a real chance at a family . but the dimeras quickly made it clear that i was kidding myself . they took my mother from me , did everything they could to deny my place in this family . and this baby is a chance at a new family . maybe even a dynasty of my own . and i 'm telling you , i wo n't put that at risk . so you can go on . you can go for now . and i 'll keep your little secret ... but you cross me , it 'll be the last mistake you ever make in your life , gabi . oh , hey , one more thing . if you just happen to hear from chad and abigail -- gabi : trust me , you will be the first to know . stefan : good . [ baby cries ] chad : i 'm warning you . gabby : she 's not your baby , as much as you wish she was . she 's stefan 's little girl , and she 's mine , so give her -- chad : stop . gabby : give her to me .

[ soft music ] ciara : i did n't know i was gon na see ben . he just came into the club looking for a job . tripp : [ sighs ] and did he leave the club with a job ? ciara : i told him there was no point in even applying , that doug and julie would never hire him . tripp : is that -- is that what upset you ? that he could n't get a job ? ciara : no . he and i talked for a little bit , and he ended up ... [ sighs ] he told me he has feelings for me that go beyond friendship . claire : hi . well ? wyatt : mission accomplished . i 'll take the other half of my money now . claire : all right . done . wyatt : hm . claire : it 's already in your account . claire : what are they gon na do to you ? wyatt : slap on the wrist . claire : really ? oh , that 's awesome . wyatt : yeah , apparently unless you 're a cop , planting phony evidence is a misdemeanor . the da did n't even want to be bothered . now , if you 'll excuse me , i 'm gon na go buy myself a new toy with , uh , your money . claire : thanks again , wyatt . wyatt : any time . send it to wyatt stone . you have to have my address . i order enough stuff from you guys . just -- [ sighs ] sorry , man . ben : get off the phone . wyatt : i got ta go .

i 'm not in the mood , carly . carly : too bad . do you know what you did tonight ? sonny : yeah . carly : you turned our son 's life upside down . sonny : no , i did what had to be done ! carly : you did it because you were out of control , and we both know why . maxie : spinelli , i 'm -- i 'm sorry . but that kind of was your fault . spinelli : which part ? maxie : the part where you snuck in to my apartment like a prowler . spinelli : apologies . i just wanted to grab my gym bag . maxie : you have n't used that thing in months . spinelli : well , i was thinking about starting up again tomorrow ... but i may have to postpone if my ... head does n't stop throbbing . maxie : sounds like a good plan . maybe you can text me next time before letting yourself in ?

my whole life just went up in flames . ava : it did n't . i know things seem bad right now . it does n't mean you ca n't turn them around . morgan : no . kiki found out that i held the truth from her . she knows that ... i knew that she and michael were n't related . ava : and that means she does n't love you anymore ? just because kiki found out what you did , that does not mean your marriage is over . morgan : she told me that she does n't want me anymore . she told me that . hell , she probably -- she probably never wanted me . ava : that is not true , and you know it . morgan : yeah , okay . yeah , maybe she wanted me once , before my brother was in the picture , but now all she wants is michael . michael : my dad knew the truth all along . he knew that you and i were n't related . he knew that morgan was lying to the both of us . i mean , he compromised so much , even his relationship with connie , to keep morgan 's secret . kiki : i know . you saw how guilty morgan made your dad feel about loving you more . it may be wrong , but i think it was sonny 's way of showing morgan how much he loves him . michael : so why blow it all to hell in the middle of the wedding reception ? what made him decide to tell the truth tonight ? sonny : drop it , carly . you do n't know what you 're talking about . carly : you lashed out . you lashed out against your own family -- against your own son . you told anyone within earshot that morgan had lied to his wife , and you did n't care . sonny : what are you complaining about ? carly : you destroyed our son 's marriage in a room full of people ! sonny : i made him own up to what he did . is n't that what we want for our kids -- for them to tell the truth ? he forced kiki to marry him 'cause he was lying to her ! now the marriage is over ! do n't stand there and pretend that 's not what you wanted . carly : i do n't want my son hurt and humiliated in a room full of people ! but that 's exactly what happened , and that 's exactly what you did ! sonny : you hated that morgan married kiki and you could n't do anything about it , so unless the next words out of your mouth are , `` thank you , sonny , for what you did , `` you get the hell out of my face ! sam : when you were finding this food , did you think that we would be eating it on the floor outside of my son 's hospital room ? silas : yeah , fluorescent lighting and linoleum was n't exactly my idea , either . still , the view 's pretty good , but i think i have an idea about how to improve the atmosphere . dante : old macdonald had a farm lulu : right here . dante : e - i - e - i -- do you want to try this ? try this . aha . aha . hey ? you jealous ? what 'd i tell you ? lulu : you also stopped singing . cause and effect ? coincidence ? dante : that has nothing to do with it . look , none of my cousins that i babysat in bensonhurst , they liked my voice . they had no problem , no complaints . lulu : you babysat . dante : yeah , i did . you got a problem with that ? lulu : [ laughs ] um ... no . i just expected you to spend your saturday nights raising hell , not playing board games with some little rugrats . dante : well ... it did n't last too long . i was n't very strict on the bedtimes . parents would come home and find me fast asleep on the couch and the kid was running around the house . but that 's not gon na happen with you . no , you 're gon na go to bed at the same time every night , not a minute later . and you 're gon na eat all your vegetables . and you 'll get one hour of tv , after you do your homework . and dating ... you know , we do n't need to talk about dating 'cause you 're not gon na do any . and to be honest with you , connie , the reason is , is because there is n't one guy out there that 's gon na be good enough for you , okay ? okay ? we got a deal ? yeah ? lulu : please . she is gon na have you wrapped around her little finger . dante : i know , right ? she 's so cute . what are you doing ? lulu : [ giggles ] maxie : i knew i should n't have given ellie too much credit . spinelli : she told me you had opened up a dialogue , as it were . maxie : yeah . we had it out about everything that happened . spinelli : did you find any common ground ? maxie : there 's still a few points of contention . spinelli : over what ? maxie : you . i say you hate me . ellie says you do n't . clearly , she 's never been more wrong . ava : morgan , no matter what happened , kiki does love you . morgan : not enough . okay ? not as much as she loves michael . ava : you do n't know that . morgan : oh , come on . come on . our whole marriage is just a sham . forget all the vows . it 's all just lies . ava : well , the lies were spread around . morgan : yeah , okay ! i lied , too , all right ? but was that worth ending our marriage , my one lie ? i mean , it 's not like i created this situation by myself . you know , why am i the bad guy ? what about michael and his lies ? ava : morgan , you 're go -- morgan : and he only cares about being brothers when we thought that dad was going off the deep end because of connie . my whole family 's nothing but a bunch of hypocrites , especially my father . sonny : i 'm waiting . carly : for what ? sonny : maybe a little bit of gratitude . did you or did you not beg me to do something about kiki and morgan ? carly : sonny , that was weeks ago . we 're talking about tonight . do you remember tonight ? do you remember standing up there to give a toast for morgan , to tell him you were happy ? and then that turned into an apology for michael , and then somehow that went to telling everyone that kiki and morgan got married under false pretenses . how the hell did that happen ? ! it does n't make any sense , and you were all over the place ! sonny : i do n't want to hear about it ! you asked me to do something ! i did it ! so what 's the problem ? carly : the problem is n't what you did . it 's how you did it . and we both know why you really did it . michael : i know my dad 's in pain over connie . my dad has dealt with a lot of loss before -- i mean , more than most people -- but to do something so public ... kiki : maybe he just did n't want to be morgan 's secret - keeper anymore . michael : and morgan -- i still ca n't believe he was lying . kiki : really ? because you were the one that came to me and said that you thought that morgan knew we were cousins before the wedding . right ? you said that that 's why he rushed me to the courthouse , because he thought that something might happen between us . michael : but that was before connie died . and my dad -- after everything morgan and i went through with him on the haunted star , i thought we finally found our way back to being brothers . i had no idea he was lying , that he was still lying , and he was lying this whole time . kiki : i lied , too . every day of my marriage to morgan , i lied to him . i told him that i loved him . but the truth is ... i love you more . silas : no peeking . are you peeking ? sam : no , i 'm not peeking . silas : all right . sam : i 'm gon na peek . silas : go ahead and peek . sam : aah ! oh , it 's beautiful . i did n't know you were so good at impromptu picnics . silas : what , this ? sam : yes . silas : no , this is nothing . you should see my blanket forts . sam : really ? silas : mm . sam : wow . i did n't know you were a man of so many talents . silas : my little brother loved them . sam : i ca n't imagine you as a kid . silas : neither can i. i grew up too fast . sam : were n't your parents around ? silas : yeah . that was the problem . sam : and what about your brother ? silas : not so much . you know , i tried to protect him when i was younger , but when i got a chance to go away to school ... i could n't wait to get out of there . sam : oh , so you left him behind . silas : and the rest is history . sam : it 's sweet that you feel like you failed your brother . you did n't . silas : sure i did . sam : you know , my -- my brother had special needs . silas : yeah , i remember you told me . sam : he was in hawaii and was really happy , and i brought him over for a visit . and he died . and ... i think if i would 've left him there that ... [ sighs ] silas : hey , sam . sam : yeah ? silas : it sounds to me like you did everything you could for your brother . sam : you know what ? it sounds to me like you did everything you could for your brother . dante : i think we got a star on our hands . lulu : [ chuckles ] not a bad - looking baby , either . dante : that 's our kid . seriously , i ca n't believe we were n't saying that three days ago . it was just you and me . and now this beautiful little other person arrived . lulu : a year ago , we thought we 'd never have children of our own . now we have a daughter . dante : how did something that beautiful come from you and me ? lulu : i have no idea . mwah ! all i know is that i am blessed with this miraculous daughter and this amazing husband . dante : mm - hmm . lulu : honestly , how could i get luckier ? dante : actually , uh ... i could think of a few ways . lulu : oh ? dante : mm - hmm . yeah . spinelli : maxie , you were pregnant with my child and chose not to tell me . you allowed me to believe that it was dante and lulu 's baby , and had ellie not discovered the truth and finally confessed it to me , you were prepared to let the lie stand for the rest of our lives . maxie : i did what i thought was best . spinelli : best for who ? ! maxie : why does that matter anyway , okay ? ! you know the truth now ! spinelli : yeah , making me complicit in your deceit ! so unless i wreck a handful of lives , i have to stand by and watch dante and lulu raise my daughter , and all you can do is stand there and hope i get over it ? ! maxie : i did n't say that ! spinelli , i know how badly i messed up ! spinelli : i keep -- i keep thinking that -- i keep hoping that time will heal all , that ... slowly ... but surely , things will just get easier . and then i think of another moment in my daughter 's life that i 'm not gon na get to see , and -- and ... the pain is constant and unceasing , and i ... i do n't believe it will ever go away . maxie : i 'm hurting , too . and i hate myself for that . i hate that we do n't have our daughter . i hate that i hurt the one person besides this little girl that i care most about in this world . you . michael : you love me ? kiki : did -- did that sound weird ? because it kind of felt ... weird , me saying it . i 've convinced myself that i would n't be able to . michael : no , i ... i know exactly what you mean . i , um ... there were so many things i wanted to say , but i -- i convinced myself that i could n't . i probably forgot some things i would say , but one thing i could never forget ... i love you , too . kiki : did i just imagine that , or did that really happen ? michael : i ... michael ... love you , kiki . for real . and now -- now there 's nothing standing in our way . we 're free to be together . kiki : you 're wrong . michael : what do you mean ? kiki : we 're not free . and i do n't see how we can be together . ava : you 're angry , with good cause , but you need to give sonny a chance to explain -- morgan : he already told me . he already explained . `` it 's for the best , morgan . kiki does n't love you the way that she should , `` which translation is , `` michael wants her , so michael deserves her . `` michael 's first and he 's best and he matters , and i do n't rate . ava : no . i 'm sure sonny loves all of his children in his own way . morgan : you know what ? if anyone tells you that blood 's thicker than water , they 're lying , because michael is n't even my dad 's biological son and he 's always been the favorite . and it 's not just 'cause he 's named after him . it 's everything . michael 's so strong . michael 's been through so much . michael deserves happiness . what about me ? ! what do i deserve ? ! ava : listen to me . you 're gon na work it out . i know you will , because no matter what , sonny is your father . morgan : no , he is n't . [ sighs deeply ] i hate him . he 's dead to me . sonny : i told you why i did it . i wanted to make it right for both of our sons . carly : okay , yeah . but you did n't tell me why you picked tonight to do it , why you made that choice at our son 's wedding reception . see , i do n't think it was a choice . i do n't think you knew what you were gon na say before you said it . sonny : what do you want , an apology ? sorry that i did n't run it by you first . sorry that i did n't , you know , get your stamp of approval when i wanted to be a father to our sons . sorry that i did n't , you know , do it as perfect as you wanted and make it right . carly : look at me . you 're gon na tell me that if you had to do it all over again , you would ? you 'd do it again ? you would toast your son with one hand and backhand him with the other ? sonny : that 's not what happ -- carly : that 's exactly what happened , and we both know why it happened . because you took yourself off your damn lithium . spinelli : we both know that i 'm not the person you care most about . maxie : no . who else is there ? spinelli : maxie , i 'm not gon na and here and try to list all -- maxie : my father . he has made a career out of leaving me . my mom ? yeah , i love her , and we 're -- we 're starting to work through everything , but ... she left me , too . that 's always gon na be between us . spinelli : what about mac ? maxie : mac -- he raised me . he 's my real father , and i love him , but ... he does n't know what to do with me . georgie 's gone . robin 's gone . that leaves you , spinelli . spinelli : what about lulu ? [ connie cries ] lulu : how could she still be hungry ? she had two bottles . dante : do n't look at me . i 'm not that hungry . lulu : i got to look at the -- dante : no , give her a minute . give her a minute just to see if she can work it out . [ crying stops ] dante : huh ? lulu : hm - hmm . dante : see what i said ? that was really good . mm . [ connie cries ] lulu : mnh - mnh , mnh - mnh . dante : or not . lulu : it 's okay . sam : you know , i hardly know anything about your life before you moved here . why is that ? silas : i do n't know . do you like telling people your life story ? sam : well , i mean , i 'm not particularly chatty , but if somebody asks me a question , i 'll certainly answer it . silas : well , i guess that 's the difference between you and me . i prefer people not to ask . sam : i mean , are you just shy ? or is ava right ? is there something in your past that would hurt me if i knew about it ? ava : you have every right to be angry with your father . he betrayed you . morgan : at my own wedding reception , no less . ava : the pain fades . injuries heal , and family stays together . morgan : so , what are you asking me ? to forgive him ? ava : your father loves you . do n't forget that . do n't forget all the good things you and sonny share while you 're licking your wounds . morgan : i 'm sorry . i ca n't think of any good things at the moment . ava : do n't write him off . morgan : it 's too late , okay ? i will never , ever forgive my father for this . my whole life -- my whole life he 's acted like he was there for me , but he could only make it stick for a couple days . he never once backed me , ever , and then he finally stepped up just to double - cross me , and it cost me my wife . ava : i know it 's painful , morgan . morgan : painful ? i love kiki , and she 's off somewhere with my brother right now doing who knows what . do you know how that feels ? ava : makes you feel worthless ... ignored ... and alone . how you feel about kiki ... it 's how i feel about kiki 's father . silas and i had something special once . and tonight , i thought we had it again . i ... felt it . and i was so sure he felt it , too . morgan : so , what ha -- what happened ? where is he ? ava : he 's with someone else . so , yeah ... i do know what it 's like to be refused by the one person you want . you are not alone . michael : why ca n't we be together ? kiki : because it 's not that simple . yes , my marriage was destroyed tonight , but your brother is still my husband . michael : okay . you know , kiki there 's ways to fix that , okay ? you can get an annulment or -- kiki : this is n't even about my relationship with him . it 's about you and morgan -- your relationship with your brother . yes , you might be able to get over tonight one day , but every time morgan sees us together , it 's gon na keep reopening that wound . michael : i 'm -- i 'm ... i am sorry morgan 's hurting . we did nothing to cause that situation . kiki : you hate fighting with morgan . i can see it in your face . he was unloading on you , and you did n't even fight back . that 's how i can tell how much you love him . michael : i love morgan . i love morgan . i do n't want to lose him . but i do n't want to lose you , either , kiki . i will not lose you . carly : i know you 're not taking your pills , so you can respect me enough not to deny it . sonny : fine . get out . there 's no reason for you to be here , carly . carly : i 'm gon na stay here , and i 'm gon na help you . sonny : i do n't need any help . carly : you say that every time , and every time you 're wrong . you need me here , sonny . you can not get better on your own . sonny : do n't tell me what i can or ca n't do . carly : we 've been through this before , okay ? you want me to leave ? do you want me to leave you in peace so you can shut the doors and you can hang up the dark drapes and you can just trash the house and break up all the furniture ? you want to be left alone so all the ghosts can come out and you can sit around , you can talk to people that are n't really there ? and then you just get closer and closer to darkness ? is that what you want ? sonny : that 's what i want . carly : without your medication , the darkness will swallow you whole . sonny : maybe that 's the point . i 'm just trying to get to a place where i like the darkness . carly : that 's your sickness talking , and that 's why you need your medication . sonny : do n't preach to me . you do n't know what it 's like . carly : i know exactly what it 's like because i 've been there with you -- when we did n't think we were gon na make it through , we did n't know there was a treatment , sonny ! sonny : screw the treatment , screw the pills . i do n't care about them . carly : sonny , i know you do n't want to take the pills . i know you do n't want to take the pills because you think they make you weak , but asking for help does n't make you weak . it means you 're trying to take control of your life , okay ? and without these pills , everything turns into chaos . sonny : [ stammers ] chaos is part of my life . it 's in my life every day . it 's not about the pills . carly : it 's about the pills ! damn it ! it 's about the pills , sonny ! look what happened the last time you did n't take the pills . you tried to kill jax . you shot off a gun in robin 's house . you were dangerous to everyone around you , even the people who love you -- even your kids ! i know you do n't want to be that person . do n't you want to be in control ? sonny : no . sam : i 'm sorry . i should not have put you on the spot like that , especially after all the trouble you went through tonight for this dinner . silas : it 's okay . after what ava said to you tonight , you deserve an explanation . sam : okay . silas : she can be ill - tempered . i know it sounds a little hypocritical coming from me . sam : i do n't know . maybe that 's why the two of you hit it off so well . silas : ava 's got this other side ... a side of her that i did n't see at first . she 's spiteful . and when she 's hurt , like she was tonight , she just lashes out blindly . sam : what , you 're saying she just said those things to get under my skin ? silas : pretty much . sam : that 's all ? that 's all it was ? silas : [ sighs ] [ danny crying ] sam : hoo . you are lucky . saved by the baby . silas : right . sam : that 's okay . [ door opens ] dante : we fed you , we burped you , we 've changed you , and i do n't know , i do n't know . what do we do here ? lulu : i do n't know . we 've sung , we 've read , we 've rocked . what else is there ? dante : a yankees game ? is it too early to take her to a yankees game ? is she too young ? lulu : you know , a part of me is almost starting to take this personally . dante : i know , right ? like , she almost seems like she 'd rather be somewhere else . maxie : you and lulu are ... my two best friends . and i had put myself in ... this horrible situation where i had to choose one of you over the other . no matter what i did , there was n't gon na be a right answer . one of you was gon na get hurt . spinelli : so you decided to hurt me . maxie : i had already broken my promise to her . i lost lulu 's baby , the one thing that she wanted most in this world . spinelli , when you found me that night , i was devastated . spinelli : i remember . maxie : i was so mad at myself that i had screwed up again , and all i could think about was the look on lulu 's face when i told her that she was n't gon na get the family that she wanted . and then there you were , telling me that i was n't worthless , making me feel better . and we were here ... together . and when i found out that i was pregnant , i thought i had been given this chance to make everything right . i knew that you wanted to work things out with ellie . i figured that you two would start a family of your own someday . choosing lulu seemed like the least bad of two terrible options . look , it was the biggest decision that i have ever had to make in my life , and , uh ... i 'm not sure that it was the right one . i 'll never know . i do know that there is no turning back now . and i 'm really sorry that i had to take you with me . i will be sorry about that for the rest of my life . sonny : i do n't want to go back on the medication . i threw the pills away 'cause i do n't want the control . carly : why ? sonny : the drugs , they make it too easy , carly . carly : what too easy ? sonny : to live without her . i want to feel the pain , 'cause i owe her that . carly : all right . do you think connie would want you to hurt like this ? do you think she 'd want you to hurt your sons the way you did at morgan 's wedding reception ? sonny : i - i - i threw ... i threw the -- the party in connie 's honor . i wanted to celebrate her life . carly : that was n't your idea . it was ava 's , right ? yeah . she used connie to get you to agree to it . sonny : ava -- she understands the feelings . she understands what it feels like to be fed up . carly : okay , maybe , but she does n't -- she does n't know you . i 've seen it , sonny . i 've seen your highs and lows and back again and all around . i 've seen you go crazy . i 've seen you scare your family and scare yourself , and i 've seen you pull yourself back because that 's not who you want to be . you do n't want to be that person for your kids . sonny : the kids are fine . they 're grown up , living their lives . carly : what about your granddaughter ? what about that little girl ? she needs you in control ! sonny : you mean you want the pills to control me . carly : sonny ... what about morgan and kristina ? i mean , they 're both pretty volatile . i 'm not saying that they are bipolar . i do n't know . maybe it 's moody teenagers . but let 's say , god forbid , they get sick . they need your example . they 'll need your example on how to handle it , on how to handle a big loss . they 're gon na need their dad . please take your pills . kiki : you 're not gon na lose me . michael : i 'm not . kiki : you sound very confident . michael : it 's a statement of fact . kiki : look , i appreciate the sentiment , but ... i do n't think you realize what you 're getting into . you are risking every single relationship that you have . and the only thing i can guarantee in return is a headache . michael : kiki , listen to me . there 's gon na be a lot of obstacles , there 's gon na be a lot of distractions , but i can deal with them . we can deal with them . if you 'll just try . just say you 'll give me a chance , okay ? and i promise you , i will -- kiki : yes . morgan : of course you get me . you 've always been on my side . ava : that 's because i 've always liked you . morgan : who else would give me a place to stay when the gambling guys were on my ass ? and who else would 've lent me money to get kiki 's engagement ring ? you 've always been supportive of our relationship and our marriage , and ... you know , my own mother , she did n't even do that . or any of my family , for that matter . none of them -- none of them stood by me when it mattered . and -- and i ca n't trust any of them . i have nobody . ava : neither do i . ava : what the hell are you doing ? morgan : i do n't know . and i do n't care . dante : okay . she , uh ... does n't want anything . she 's not happy with her mother , and she 's definitely not happy with her father . i -- i do n't know . lulu : i have an idea . dante : what is it ? i mean , there are no bad ideas at this point . lulu : maybe she would respond to both of us . ... the surf , no sand if we come back time will tell spinelli : found it . guess i 'll be off . i know we gave it our all spinelli : do you miss her ? our daughter ? maxie : every day . but i 'm working through that in therapy . spinelli : is it working ? maxie : does it matter ? spinelli : i know you ... i know you did the best you could . ellie 's not wrong . i hate what you did . but i do n't hate you . sam : mommy 's here . it 's gon na be okay . what 's that ? [ danny coos ] sam : you see that ? the lights . yeah . it 's pretty . carly : this is the right thing to do . anything else is a disservice to connie 's memory . sonny : i miss her so much . [ sniffles ] carly : i know . but ... do n't hurt yourself or your family in connie 's name . do n't do that . honor her . honor her . sonny : [ sighs deeply ] [ sniffles ] would you catch me if i fell ? would you catch me like your other plans ? [ both chuckle ] michael : so , it 's , uh ... so it 's decided ? kiki : it is . how are we going to do this ? michael : i have no idea .

[ knock on door ] ava : silas ? morgan : my marriage is over . michael : look , morgan , i know you 're upset , but can you please call me when you get this message ? straight to voicemail . kiki : i do n't think morgan is in the mood to talk after the way he just stormed out of here . michael : i do n't think anyone would after the bomb my dad just dropped . carly : i want to talk about what you did to morgan to -- sonny : i do n't . carly : then you can listen . sonny : no , you know what ? i 'm not in the mood , carly . carly : too bad . do you know what you did tonight ? sonny : yeah . carly : you turned our son 's life upside down . sonny : no , i did what had to be done ! carly : you did it because you were out of control , and we both know why . maxie : spinelli , i 'm -- i 'm sorry . but that kind of was your fault . spinelli : which part ? maxie : the part where you snuck in to my apartment like a prowler . spinelli : apologies . i just wanted to grab my gym bag . maxie : you have n't used that thing in months . spinelli : well , i was thinking about starting up again tomorrow ... but i may have to postpone if my ... head does n't stop throbbing . maxie : sounds like a good plan . maybe you can text me next time before letting yourself in ? spinelli : that would 've defeated the purpose . maxie : you 're trying to avoid ellie . that 's understandable . but you do n't need to worry . she 's working late . spinelli : i was n't trying to avoid ellie . maxie : then why the subterfuge ? spinelli : i was trying to avoid you . silas : what , are you trying to say you did n't have a good time facing off with my crazy ex at my daughter 's wedding ? sam : um , i 'm sorry , but you are gon na have to come up with something a little bit better for next time . silas : does that mean there 's gon na be a next time ? sam : i mean , for you and ... someone , yeah . silas : you know what ? i think i 'd rather focus at the matter at hand . you said we were gon na go to dinner , and we have n't eaten yet . sam : i know , yes , we are gon na go to dinner at some point . i 'll make good on that , our date , but i just do n't think i can leave danny again tonight . i 'm sorry . silas : yeah , i kind of figured as much . so , instead of taking you out to dinner , i could bring dinner to you . fresh from the floating rib . sam : no . silas : yes . look , i even got the little bibs and everything . morgan : can i come in ? ava : it 's late . morgan : please . okay , i 'm sorry . i know -- it 's -- i just -- i do n't know where else to go . ava : how about to your wife ? morgan : [ scoffs ] what wife ? ava : you know what wife . morgan : i told you before . i 'm not married anymore . the marriage is over . ava : easy . easy on the booze . morgan : why ? my whole life just went up in flames . ava : it did n't . i know things seem bad right now . it does n't mean you ca n't turn them around . morgan : no . kiki found out that i held the truth from her . she knows that ... i knew that she and michael were n't related . ava : and that means she does n't love you anymore ? just because kiki found out what you did , that does not mean your marriage is over . morgan : she told me that she does n't want me anymore . she told me that . hell , she probably -- she probably never wanted me . ava : that is not true , and you know it . morgan : yeah , okay . yeah , maybe she wanted me once , before my brother was in the picture , but now all she wants is michael . michael : my dad knew the truth all along . he knew that you and i were n't related . he knew that morgan was lying to the both of us . i mean , he compromised so much , even his relationship with connie , to keep morgan 's secret . kiki : i know . you saw how guilty morgan made your dad feel about loving you more . it may be wrong , but i think it was sonny 's way of showing morgan how much he loves him . michael : so why blow it all to hell in the middle of the wedding reception ? what made him decide to tell the truth tonight ? sonny : drop it , carly . you do n't know what you 're talking about . carly : you lashed out . you lashed out against your own family -- against your own son . you told anyone within earshot that morgan had lied to his wife , and you did n't care . sonny : what are you complaining about ? carly : you destroyed our son 's marriage in a room full of people ! sonny : i made him own up to what he did . is n't that what we want for our kids -- for them to tell the truth ? he forced kiki to marry him 'cause he was lying to her ! now the marriage is over ! do n't stand there and pretend that 's not what you wanted . carly : i do n't want my son hurt and humiliated in a room full of people ! but that 's exactly what happened , and that 's exactly what you did ! sonny : you hated that morgan married kiki and you could n't do anything about it , so unless the next words out of your mouth are , `` thank you , sonny , for what you did , `` you get the hell out of my face ! sam : when you were finding this food , did you think that we would be eating it on the floor outside of my son 's hospital room ? silas : yeah , fluorescent lighting and linoleum was n't exactly my idea , either . still , the view 's pretty good , but i think i have an idea about how to improve the atmosphere . dante : old macdonald had a farm lulu : right here . dante : e - i - e - i -- do you want to try this ? try this . aha . aha . hey ? you jealous ? what 'd i tell you ? lulu : you also stopped singing . cause and effect ? coincidence ? dante : that has nothing to do with it . look , none of my cousins that i babysat in bensonhurst , they liked my voice . they had no problem , no complaints . lulu : you babysat . dante : yeah , i did . you got a problem with that ? lulu : [ laughs ] um ... no . i just expected you to spend your saturday nights raising hell , not playing board games with some little rugrats . dante : well ... it did n't last too long . i was n't very strict on the bedtimes . parents would come home and find me fast asleep on the couch and the kid was running around the house . but that 's not gon na happen with you . no , you 're gon na go to bed at the same time every night , not a minute later . and you 're gon na eat all your vegetables . and you 'll get one hour of tv , after you do your homework . and dating ... you know , we do n't need to talk about dating 'cause you 're not gon na do any . and to be honest with you , connie , the reason is , is because there is n't one guy out there that 's gon na be good enough for you , okay ? okay ? we got a deal ? yeah ? lulu : please . she is gon na have you wrapped around her little finger . dante : i know , right ? she 's so cute . what are you doing ? lulu : [ giggles ] maxie : i knew i should n't have given ellie too much credit . spinelli : she told me you had opened up a dialogue , as it were . maxie : yeah . we had it out about everything that happened . spinelli : did you find any common ground ? maxie : there 's still a few points of contention . spinelli : over what ? maxie : you . i say you hate me . ellie says you do n't . clearly , she 's never been more wrong . ava : morgan , no matter what happened , kiki does love you . morgan : not enough . okay ? not as much as she loves michael . ava : you do n't know that . morgan : oh , come on . come on . our whole marriage is just a sham . forget all the vows . it 's all just lies . ava : well , the lies were spread around . morgan : yeah , okay ! i lied , too , all right ? but was that worth ending our marriage , my one lie ? i mean , it 's not like i created this situation by myself . you know , why am i the bad guy ? what about michael and his lies ? ava : morgan , you 're go -- morgan : and he only cares about being brothers when we thought that dad was going off the deep end because of connie . my whole family 's nothing but a bunch of hypocrites , especially my father . sonny : i 'm waiting . carly : for what ? sonny : maybe a little bit of gratitude . did you or did you not beg me to do something about kiki and morgan ? carly : sonny , that was weeks ago . we 're talking about tonight . do you remember tonight ? do you remember standing up there to give a toast for morgan , to tell him you were happy ? and then that turned into an apology for michael , and then somehow that went to telling everyone that kiki and morgan got married under false pretenses . how the hell did that happen ? ! it does n't make any sense , and you were all over the place ! sonny : i do n't want to hear about it ! you asked me to do something ! i did it ! so what 's the problem ? carly : the problem is n't what you did . it 's how you did it . and we both know why you really did it . michael : i know my dad 's in pain over connie . my dad has dealt with a lot of loss before -- i mean , more than most people -- but to do something so public ... kiki : maybe he just did n't want to be morgan 's secret - keeper anymore . michael : and morgan -- i still ca n't believe he was lying . kiki : really ? because you were the one that came to me and said that you thought that morgan knew we were cousins before the wedding . right ? you said that that 's why he rushed me to the courthouse , because he thought that something might happen between us . michael : but that was before connie died . and my dad -- after everything morgan and i went through with him on the haunted star , i thought we finally found our way back to being brothers . i had no idea he was lying , that he was still lying , and he was lying this whole time . kiki : i lied , too . every day of my marriage to morgan , i lied to him . i told him that i loved him . but the truth is ... i love you more . silas : no peeking . are you peeking ? sam : no , i 'm not peeking . silas : all right . sam : i 'm gon na peek . silas : go ahead and peek . sam : aah ! oh , it 's beautiful . i did n't know you were so good at impromptu picnics . silas : what , this ? sam : yes . silas : no , this is nothing . you should see my blanket forts . sam : really ? silas : mm . sam : wow . i did n't know you were a man of so many talents . silas : my little brother loved them . sam : i ca n't imagine you as a kid . silas : neither can i. i grew up too fast . sam : were n't your parents around ? silas : yeah . that was the problem . sam : and what about your brother ? silas : not so much . you know , i tried to protect him when i was younger , but when i got a chance to go away to school ... i could n't wait to get out of there . sam : oh , so you left him behind . silas : and the rest is history . sam : it 's sweet that you feel like you failed your brother . you did n't . silas : sure i did . sam : you know , my -- my brother had special needs . silas : yeah , i remember you told me . sam : he was in hawaii and was really happy , and i brought him over for a visit . and he died . and ... i think if i would 've left him there that ... [ sighs ] silas : hey , sam . sam : yeah ? silas : it sounds to me like you did everything you could for your brother . sam : you know what ? it sounds to me like you did everything you could for your brother . dante : i think we got a star on our hands . lulu : [ chuckles ] not a bad - looking baby , either . dante : that 's our kid . seriously , i ca n't believe we were n't saying that three days ago . it was just you and me . and now this beautiful little other person arrived . lulu : a year ago , we thought we 'd never have children of our own . now we have a daughter . dante : how did something that beautiful come from you and me ? lulu : i have no idea . mwah ! all i know is that i am blessed with this miraculous daughter and this amazing husband . dante : mm - hmm . lulu : honestly , how could i get luckier ? dante : actually , uh ... i could think of a few ways . lulu : oh ? dante : mm - hmm . yeah . spinelli : maxie , you were pregnant with my child and chose not to tell me . you allowed me to believe that it was dante and lulu 's baby , and had ellie not discovered the truth and finally confessed it to me , you were prepared to let the lie stand for the rest of our lives . maxie : i did what i thought was best . spinelli : best for who ? ! maxie : why does that matter anyway , okay ? ! you know the truth now ! spinelli : yeah , making me complicit in your deceit ! so unless i wreck a handful of lives , i have to stand by and watch dante and lulu raise my daughter , and all you can do is stand there and hope i get over it ? ! maxie : i did n't say that ! spinelli , i know how badly i messed up ! spinelli : i keep -- i keep thinking that -- i keep hoping that time will heal all , that ... slowly ... but surely , things will just get easier . and then i think of another moment in my daughter 's life that i 'm not gon na get to see , and -- and ... the pain is constant and unceasing , and i ... i do n't believe it will ever go away . maxie : i 'm hurting , too . and i hate myself for that . i hate that we do n't have our daughter . i hate that i hurt the one person besides this little girl that i care most about in this world . you . michael : you love me ? kiki : did -- did that sound weird ? because it kind of felt ... weird , me saying it . i 've convinced myself that i would n't be able to . michael : no , i ... i know exactly what you mean . i , um ... there were so many things i wanted to say , but i -- i convinced myself that i could n't . i probably forgot some things i would say , but one thing i could never forget ... i love you , too . kiki : did i just imagine that , or did that really happen ? michael : i ... michael ... love you , kiki . for real . and now -- now there 's nothing standing in our way . we 're free to be together . kiki : you 're wrong . michael : what do you mean ? kiki : we 're not free . and i do n't see how we can be together . ava : you 're angry , with good cause , but you need to give sonny a chance to explain -- morgan : he already told me . he already explained . `` it 's for the best , morgan . kiki does n't love you the way that she should , `` which translation is , `` michael wants her , so michael deserves her . `` michael 's first and he 's best and he matters , and i do n't rate . ava : no . i 'm sure sonny loves all of his children in his own way . morgan : you know what ? if anyone tells you that blood 's thicker than water , they 're lying , because michael is n't even my dad 's biological son and he 's always been the favorite . and it 's not just 'cause he 's named after him . it 's everything . michael 's so strong . michael 's been through so much . michael deserves happiness . what about me ? ! what do i deserve ? ! ava : listen to me . you 're gon na work it out . i know you will , because no matter what , sonny is your father . morgan : no , he is n't . [ sighs deeply ] i hate him . he 's dead to me . sonny : i told you why i did it . i wanted to make it right for both of our sons . carly : okay , yeah . but you did n't tell me why you picked tonight to do it , why you made that choice at our son 's wedding reception . see , i do n't think it was a choice . i do n't think you knew what you were gon na say before you said it . sonny : what do you want , an apology ? sorry that i did n't run it by you first . sorry that i did n't , you know , get your stamp of approval when i wanted to be a father to our sons . sorry that i did n't , you know , do it as perfect as you wanted and make it right . carly : look at me . you 're gon na tell me that if you had to do it all over again , you would ? you 'd do it again ? you would toast your son with one hand and backhand him with the other ? sonny : that 's not what happ -- carly : that 's exactly what happened , and we both know why it happened . because you took yourself off your damn lithium . spinelli : we both know that i 'm not the person you care most about . maxie : no . who else is there ? spinelli : maxie , i 'm not gon na and here and try to list all -- maxie : my father . he has made a career out of leaving me . my mom ? yeah , i love her , and we 're -- we 're starting to work through everything , but ... she left me , too . that 's always gon na be between us . spinelli : what about mac ? maxie : mac -- he raised me . he 's my real father , and i love him , but ... he does n't know what to do with me . georgie 's gone . robin 's gone . that leaves you , spinelli . spinelli : what about lulu ? [ connie cries ] lulu : how could she still be hungry ? she had two bottles . dante : do n't look at me . i 'm not that hungry . lulu : i got to look at the -- dante : no , give her a minute . give her a minute just to see if she can work it out . [ crying stops ] dante : huh ? lulu : hm - hmm . dante : see what i said ? that was really good . mm . [ connie cries ] lulu : mnh - mnh , mnh - mnh . dante : or not . lulu : it 's okay . sam : you know , i hardly know anything about your life before you moved here . why is that ? silas : i do n't know . do you like telling people your life story ? sam : well , i mean , i 'm not particularly chatty , but if somebody asks me a question , i 'll certainly answer it . silas : well , i guess that 's the difference between you and me . i prefer people not to ask . sam : i mean , are you just shy ? or is ava right ? is there something in your past that would hurt me if i knew about it ? ava : you have every right to be angry with your father . he betrayed you . morgan : at my own wedding reception , no less . ava : the pain fades . injuries heal , and family stays together . morgan : so , what are you asking me ? to forgive him ? ava : your father loves you . do n't forget that . do n't forget all the good things you and sonny share while you 're licking your wounds . morgan : i 'm sorry . i ca n't think of any good things at the moment . ava : do n't write him off . morgan : it 's too late , okay ? i will never , ever forgive my father for this . my whole life -- my whole life he 's acted like he was there for me , but he could only make it stick for a couple days . he never once backed me , ever , and then he finally stepped up just to double - cross me , and it cost me my wife . ava : i know it 's painful , morgan . morgan : painful ? i love kiki , and she 's off somewhere with my brother right now doing who knows what . do you know how that feels ? ava : makes you feel worthless ... ignored ... and alone . how you feel about kiki ... it 's how i feel about kiki 's father . silas and i had something special once . and tonight , i thought we had it again . i ... felt it . and i was so sure he felt it , too . morgan : so , what ha -- what happened ? where is he ? ava : he 's with someone else . so , yeah ... i do know what it 's like to be refused by the one person you want . you are not alone . michael : why ca n't we be together ? kiki : because it 's not that simple . yes , my marriage was destroyed tonight , but your brother is still my husband . michael : okay . you know , kiki there 's ways to fix that , okay ? you can get an annulment or -- kiki : this is n't even about my relationship with him . it 's about you and morgan -- your relationship with your brother . yes , you might be able to get over tonight one day , but every time morgan sees us together , it 's gon na keep reopening that wound . michael : i 'm -- i 'm ... i am sorry morgan 's hurting . we did nothing to cause that situation . kiki : you hate fighting with morgan . i can see it in your face . he was unloading on you , and you did n't even fight back . that 's how i can tell how much you love him . michael : i love morgan . i love morgan . i do n't want to lose him . but i do n't want to lose you , either , kiki . i will not lose you . carly : i know you 're not taking your pills , so you can respect me enough not to deny it . sonny : fine . get out . there 's no reason for you to be here , carly . carly : i 'm gon na stay here , and i 'm gon na help you . sonny : i do n't need any help . carly : you say that every time , and every time you 're wrong . you need me here , sonny . you can not get better on your own . sonny : do n't tell me what i can or ca n't do . carly : we 've been through this before , okay ? you want me to leave ? do you want me to leave you in peace so you can shut the doors and you can hang up the dark drapes and you can just trash the house and break up all the furniture ? you want to be left alone so all the ghosts can come out and you can sit around , you can talk to people that are n't really there ? and then you just get closer and closer to darkness ? is that what you want ? sonny : that 's what i want . carly : without your medication , the darkness will swallow you whole . sonny : maybe that 's the point . i 'm just trying to get to a place where i like the darkness . carly : that 's your sickness talking , and that 's why you need your medication . sonny : do n't preach to me . you do n't know what it 's like . carly : i know exactly what it 's like because i 've been there with you -- when we did n't think we were gon na make it through , we did n't know there was a treatment , sonny ! sonny : screw the treatment , screw the pills . i do n't care about them . carly : sonny , i know you do n't want to take the pills . i know you do n't want to take the pills because you think they make you weak , but asking for help does n't make you weak . it means you 're trying to take control of your life , okay ? and without these pills , everything turns into chaos . sonny : [ stammers ] chaos is part of my life . it 's in my life every day . it 's not about the pills . carly : it 's about the pills ! damn it ! it 's about the pills , sonny ! look what happened the last time you did n't take the pills . you tried to kill jax . you shot off a gun in robin 's house . you were dangerous to everyone around you , even the people who love you -- even your kids ! i know you do n't want to be that person . do n't you want to be in control ? sonny : no . sam : i 'm sorry . i should not have put you on the spot like that , especially after all the trouble you went through tonight for this dinner . silas : it 's okay . after what ava said to you tonight , you deserve an explanation . sam : okay . silas : she can be ill - tempered . i know it sounds a little hypocritical coming from me . sam : i do n't know . maybe that 's why the two of you hit it off so well . silas : ava 's got this other side ... a side of her that i did n't see at first . she 's spiteful . and when she 's hurt , like she was tonight , she just lashes out blindly . sam : what , you 're saying she just said those things to get under my skin ? silas : pretty much . sam : that 's all ? that 's all it was ? silas : [ sighs ] [ danny crying ] sam : hoo . you are lucky . saved by the baby . silas : right . sam : that 's okay . [ door opens ] dante : we fed you , we burped you , we 've changed you , and i do n't know , i do n't know . what do we do here ? lulu : i do n't know . we 've sung , we 've read , we 've rocked . what else is there ? dante : a yankees game ? is it too early to take her to a yankees game ? is she too young ? lulu : you know , a part of me is almost starting to take this personally . dante : i know , right ? like , she almost seems like she 'd rather be somewhere else . maxie : you and lulu are ... my two best friends . and i had put myself in ... this horrible situation where i had to choose one of you over the other . no matter what i did , there was n't gon na be a right answer . one of you was gon na get hurt . spinelli : so you decided to hurt me . maxie : i had already broken my promise to her . i lost lulu 's baby , the one thing that she wanted most in this world . spinelli , when you found me that night , i was devastated . spinelli : i remember . maxie : i was so mad at myself that i had screwed up again , and all i could think about was the look on lulu 's face when i told her that she was n't gon na get the family that she wanted . and then there you were , telling me that i was n't worthless , making me feel better . and we were here ... together . and when i found out that i was pregnant , i thought i had been given this chance to make everything right . i knew that you wanted to work things out with ellie . i figured that you two would start a family of your own someday . choosing lulu seemed like the least bad of two terrible options . look , it was the biggest decision that i have ever had to make in my life , and , uh ... i 'm not sure that it was the right one . i 'll never know . i do know that there is no turning back now . and i 'm really sorry that i had to take you with me . i will be sorry about that for the rest of my life . sonny : i do n't want to go back on the medication . i threw the pills away 'cause i do n't want the control . carly : why ? sonny : the drugs , they make it too easy , carly . carly : what too easy ? sonny : to live without her . i want to feel the pain , 'cause i owe her that . carly : all right . do you think connie would want you to hurt like this ? do you think she 'd want you to hurt your sons the way you did at morgan 's wedding reception ? sonny : i - i - i threw ... i threw the -- the party in connie 's honor . i wanted to celebrate her life . carly : that was n't your idea . it was ava 's , right ? yeah . she used connie to get you to agree to it . sonny : ava -- she understands the feelings . she understands what it feels like to be fed up . carly : okay , maybe , but she does n't -- she does n't know you . i 've seen it , sonny . i 've seen your highs and lows and back again and all around . i 've seen you go crazy . i 've seen you scare your family and scare yourself , and i 've seen you pull yourself back because that 's not who you want to be . you do n't want to be that person for your kids . sonny : the kids are fine . they 're grown up , living their lives . carly : what about your granddaughter ?

and i promise you , i will -- kiki : yes . morgan : of course you get me . you 've always been on my side . ava : that 's because i 've always liked you . morgan : who else would give me a place to stay when the gambling guys were on my ass ? and who else would 've lent me money to get kiki 's engagement ring ? you 've always been supportive of our relationship and our marriage , and ... you know , my own mother , she did n't even do that . or any of my family , for that matter . none of them -- none of them stood by me when it mattered . and -- and i ca n't trust any of them . i have nobody . ava : neither do i . ava : what the hell are you doing ?

[ scene_break ] sonny : carly and i have come to an agreement about your access to michael . we 're willing to be reasonable , but you 're going to have to meet us halfway . we will not discourage michael from contact with the quartermaines . you 're welcome to visit him at the hospital , when he goes home , but just call first . show some restraint . we do not want to upset michael . edward : sonny , i wo n't let a temper tantrum brought on by a brain injury that you caused change my mind . every mishap that has befallen this young man in his short life has been because of some contact with you . and that ends now . michael is a quartermaine , and we mean to have him with us . carly : this is hard for everyone , edward . everyone . but you 're crazy if you think that you 're taking my son home because he 's coming home with me . he belongs with me or his father . we 're a family here . do you understand that ? edward : i 've always been very fond of you , carly . you 're tough and you 're resilient , and you 're smart -- everything that i admire in a woman . but you have one fatal flaw -- your weakness for sonny . and michael should not and will not pay the price for that . and that 's why i am taking him home with me . [ scene_break ] johnny : yeah , maxie 's confused . she 's torn between her inner wild child and , probably for the first time in her life , loving somebody more than she loves herself . anyway , she has convinced herself that she wants to sleep with me , and as you 've probably seen , nobility is n't exactly my strong suit . olivia : i do n't know , maybe it is . i mean , you were pretty honest with her . johnny : yeah . olivia : sounds like if she 's determined to stick her hand in the fire , then she 'll get burned . she 'll come back . you know , we 're all adults here . we make choices and we live with the consequences . johnny : yeah . looks like you 've been doing a lot of that today , huh ? feels like the whole world knows we slept together . olivia : right ? it 's a good way to keep something secret , huh ? johnny : yeah , sorry . olivia : no , do n't be . a , i do n't give a damn what anybody thinks about me . i never did . and , b , i got no regrets . kind of like you . johnny : feeling 's mutual . i got to tell you , i would say you were the last thing that i expected , but i am damn glad you came . olivia : okay , then .

[ scene_break ] sonny : carly and i have come to an agreement about your access to michael . we 're willing to be reasonable , but you 're going to have to meet us halfway . we will not discourage michael from contact with the quartermaines . you 're welcome to visit him at the hospital , when he goes home , but just call first . show some restraint . we do not want to upset michael . edward : sonny , i wo n't let a temper tantrum brought on by a brain injury that you caused change my mind . every mishap that has befallen this young man in his short life has been because of some contact with you . and that ends now . michael is a quartermaine , and we mean to have him with us . carly : this is hard for everyone , edward . everyone . but you 're crazy if you think that you 're taking my son home because he 's coming home with me . he belongs with me or his father . we 're a family here . do you understand that ? edward : i 've always been very fond of you , carly . you 're tough and you 're resilient , and you 're smart -- everything that i admire in a woman . but you have one fatal flaw -- your weakness for sonny . and michael should not and will not pay the price for that . and that 's why i am taking him home with me .

[ sighs ] kelly : oh , no , jack came by the hospital to be with me , but , um , mom was just waking up , and i wanted to see her , so he and i did n't really get a chance to talk . lily : well , why did n't he wait for you ? kelly : i could tell he was preoccupied . lily : any idea why ? kelly : uh , not really . um , although he did tell phyllis that we 'd been dating . lily : dating , really ? that 's what he calls asking you to move in with him ? kelly : lily , be fair . this is n't easy for jack either . lily : come on . what about you ? kelly : it 's awkward ... especially now that victoria 's had her baby . lily : right , because ben or billy could be the father . kelly : exactly , and ben really loves victoria , so he 's hoping that this little girl is his . lily : well , yeah , so does billy . so i could see why that would be awkward for jack and why he would be distracted ... unless there 's another reason why . jack : i just think we ought to delay the announcement . phyllis : and i 'll ask again . honey , what 's holding us up ? jack : we have n't had time to enjoy it for ourselves , to revel in our engagement . i want some time with my fiancée before the rest of the world horns in on it . phyllis : well , that is very sweet , but we 're only announcing it to our immediate family . now , i got some killer champagne , some sparkling cider , and i have some wonderful hors d'oeuvres in the oven . do n't worry . i did n't make them . [ chuckles ] summer : mom , please do n't kill me , but austin and i ca n't stay . abby : uh , neither can i , unfortunately . phyllis : how come ? abby : dad invited us to dinner . phyllis : oh . okay . why are we upstaged by him ? what 's that about ? summer : it 's a newman family thing . jack : of course . summer : i 'm sorry , jack . i - i should n't have even said ... abby : um , thanks to sharon , you know , nick 's whole life has blown up , so dad really wants us to rally around him . austin : if we could only be in two places at once . summer : no , i hate this . jack : no , no , do n't . do n't . of course you want to be there for your dad . he 's your dad . phyllis : okay . why not run out there later in time for dessert ? i 'm sure victor wo n't mind . abby : are we talking about the same victor newman ? phyllis : look , you all are my family , too , and we have something wonderful to celebrate tonight . plus , i have enough food to feed an army . summer : mom , please do n't do this . phyllis : do what ? summer : pull one of your guilt trips and make me choose between families . jack : summer had a previous engagement . this little shindig you put together at the last minute . traci : yes , they do have a point , phyllis . jack : listen to me . go . enjoy yourself . there 'll be plenty of time to get together later . do n't make everyone wait . phyllis : hey . we will celebrate later . i did ask jack , though , to throw me a big , splashy party to mark the occasion . abby : well , then you got to let me help . i know all about `` splashy . `` traci : oh , yes , `` splashy `` is abby 's specialty . abby : yes . traci : [ chuckles ] phyllis : very good . i want your best work . traci : [ chuckles ] summer : um , hey . thank you for calling kyle . he called me . thanks for filling him in on everything . thanks . noah : oh , you and grandpa agreeing on something . this i got to hear . nick : yeah , your grandpa said i needed to stop focusing on his actions and start thinking about my own choices . noah : so , is that why you 're leaving ? nick : yeah , i 've let my anger at what sharon 's done control me , and i got to get away -- not just from sharon but from the anger , too . i need some time to think , especially since this involves faith . victor : i want you to know that i back you for suing for full custody 100 % . noah : wait . you what ? victor : what i do n't understand is that you 'd leave now -- leave that beautiful girl with the likes of sharon . nick : dad , we share legal custody . i ca n't just be seen taking my daughter away from her mother when she has every right to see her . i do n't like it , but i got to deal with it for now . and besides , faith is furious with me for not marrying her mother . faith could use some space , too , right now . victor : so you 're running away . nick : i 'm not running away from anything . i just need to get away from people . noah : dad , you know , what grandpa 's saying -- it makes sense . you know , i mean , none of this would have even happened had you just redone the paternity test when summer was born . adam : i need to get out of this room . you know , uh , i 'd like to see some daylight . i have n't been out of this house in months . sage : [ chuckles ] and i explained to gabriel that he 's just not strong enough yet . constance : and all these weights , all that physical exertion -- you should n't be pushing yourself so hard . adam : well , that 's very sweet , but i promise you i 'm up for it , okay ? i wo n't overdo . sage : you know , for safety 's sake , i will give him a painkiller , and then i will help him to bed and you . constance : get some rest . adam : yes , ma'am . [ sighs ] no more painkillers . sage , i mean it . no more sedatives . and do n't try to jab me with one like you did last time . sage : it 's for your own good . the more you rest , the sooner you 'll get better . adam : no , i am tired of resting . sage : your defenses are down . you nearly gave yourself away to constance a few times ! adam : well , if you 're talking about `` spinach - gate `` and my sudden distaste for it , i think i covered rather well . sage : that time . but how long are you gon na be able to keep that up , huh ? i can only cover for you so much . adam : yeah , and we all know you 're looking out for my best interests , are n't you , hmm ? billy : [ sighs ] hey . how 's johnny ? chelsea : hey . uh , he 's perfect . um ... billy , please do n't feel like you need to lie to me about ashley 's visit . i heard what she said . billy : she was out of line . chelsea : listen , i 've had similar thoughts . billy : chelse -- chelsea : look , billy , i understand that you still care about victoria . i mean , how could you not ? [ chuckles ] we 've discussed this before . you guys struggled for a long time to have a baby together . so , after what you told me today , that you were actually there for the birth of her daughter , i mean , that must have been huge for you . i 'm sure it brought back everything you felt for her before it all went wrong . billy : you 're right . it did . nick : i made a terrible mistake . when that first paternity test came back corrupted , i should have insisted that they run another one . but i did n't do that . i let my fear get the best of me , and i lied . and i am truly sorry for that . it 's just another reason why i got to get away . i got to figure out how to start making better decisions in my life . i - i hope someday , son , that you 'll be able to forgive me . victor : nicholas , there 's nothing to forgive , all right ? it is sharon 's addled , screwed - up brain ... noah : there 's no need to insult my mother . it 's not gon na accomplish anything . nick : okay , i do n't want to do this . i did n't come over here for this . i just came to say goodbye . you have people coming over , and i got to get out of town before it 's too late . noah , you 'll hold the fort down for me at the club ? noah : i will . nick : dad , you 'll keep an eye on my girls for me ? victor : i will , son . come here . nick : thank you . i love you , dude . noah : i love you , too , dad . [ door opens ] abby : hello . the party has arrived . nick : uh , actually , i was , uh , just leaving . summer : wait . why ? where are you going ? abby : wait , this party is for you , nick . nick : yeah , so i 've been told . um , i got to go out of town for a couple days , so you 're gon na have to party without me . austin : bummer . summer : i know . i was really looking forward to spending some time with you . nick : yeah , me , too . uh , we can do that when i get back . summer : promise ? nick : i absolutely promise . summer : i love you . abby : bye . phyllis : all righty , let 's talk party . now , the event planner at the club will handle most of the details , but i 'd like to have a hand in the decorating . traci : well , then , if that 's the case , um , there are some beautiful english roses just starting to bloom in the conservatory . i do n't know . maybe you would like to see them and see if they 'll work in your floral arrangements ? phyllis : love it . lead the way . jack : thanks , sis . ashley : floral arrangements ? jack : yeah , phyllis wants to throw a big engagement party . ashley : jack , you 're actually gon na marry her ? jack : yes , i am , and i want you to be happy for me . ashley : jack -- jack : i love phyllis , and i 'm planning on spending the rest of my life with her . ashley : oh , i do n't doubt that . jack : good . ashley : but since she 's been gone , you 've fallen in love with another woman , so how does that fit into your plan ? billy : i should n't have been so -- chelsea : honest ? billy : blunt . but i do n't want to lie to you . and i do n't want to pretend either . that is what cratered my marriage . chelsea : my whole relationship with dylan was based on a lie , so if you have something to say , billy , you just got to say it . i wo n't flip out if you tell me you 're feeling conflicted . billy : i 'm glad to hear you say that , because when i was helping vicki deliver the baby , and then it was just the three of us alone , i - i had a moment . chelsea : so , ashley was right ? you want to be with her ? billy : no , ashley is wrong . when i walked through that door , and i saw you , i was reminded of how much i love you . i want to be with you , chelse . i mean , yeah , vick and i -- we had kids together , and we -- we shared a life . we 're always going to have that connection , just like you and adam are always going to have a connection . sage : look , i hate to put a dent in your extremely healthy ego , but my help is not about you . it 's about constance . adam : right . right . sage : she is the grandmother that i never had . i owe her everything . she is extremely frail , and if she ever found out that you are not really gabriel ... she could n't handle it . adam : okay , look . i understand that , and believe me , i need gabriel as much as she does . sage : okay , then you can not just act like him . you have to be him . adam : i had an impulse , and i acted on it . i thought you told me that 's the kind of guy gabriel was . sage : well , even if he was , he would never hurt her . adam : i would n't hurt her , sage , but i 'm not gon na sit here and be her prisoner . this is my chance to start a new life , okay ? and nothing 's gon na prevent that . victor : a toast to my granddaughter summer . summer : uh , do n't you think we should wait until everyone can be here -- like grandma ? abby : well , visiting hours are n't over for another couple hours at the hospital . i 'm sure nikki will want to stay with victoria and the baby until then . victor : i assure you she wo n't mind if we go ahead without her , okay ? and i 've always considered you my granddaughter , but now we have learned that you and i are related by blood . that makes me very happy . to you , my darling . summer : actually , there 's a toast i would like to make , uh , to my mom and jack . they are officially engaged . victor : you expect me to toast jack abbott ? summer : i love jack , grandpa . victor : mm . summer : he was my dad for a while . i 'm not gon na let you gloat over his loss . you understand that , right ? victor : sweetheart , what i understand is that you are a beautiful , very compassionate , very forgiving lady , okay ? tell you what -- i 'm going to get a new bottle of champagne . how 's that ? austin : well , he seems unusually amenable . abby : he 's trying . summer : yeah , he 's definitely up to something . noah : oh , he was on a roll earlier . he was insulting my mom . summer : too bad i could n't be there to join in . noah : hold on . jack 's off - limits , but my mom is n't ? okay , it 's an illness . she was n't responsible for her actions . austin : responsible or not , she hurt my wife , and she wrecked a lot of people 's lives , noah . abby : austin , you 're a little out of your element here . summer : okay , if my husband has something to say , he 's allowed to say it . abby : yeah , by all means . it 's a free country , especially if you can not go to jail after committing a dangerous , violent crime . [ chuckles ] summer : okay , so it 's not enough that he 's paid his debt , but now he has to come here and get insulted , too ? abby : relax , summer . i like austin . i do . it 's just dad would eat him alive if he heard him speaking like that . summer : grandpa has wrecked more lives than anyone that i know , and now he 's gon na sit here and try to make me choose between the abbotts and the newmans again . abby : summer , no one understands that dilemma more than i do , but now you do n't have to choose . you 're not an abbott . jack 's not your dad . nick is . noah : well , he 's my father , too , and how long before grandpa tries to put me in a position to choose just because he does n't like my mom ? summer : your mom is getting everything that she deserves . noah : whoa , and your mom is so perfect ? summer : your mom is a lot worse . abby : honestly , i think it 's a tie . [ chuckles ] austin : that 's not funny . abby : it 's a little bit hilarious . summer : okay , you know what ? then you two can laugh it up without me , because i 'm done . austin : that makes two of us . abby : no , relax . look , i 'm trying to lighten the mood . it 's jokes -- jokes . austin : does n't seem like a joke , abby . abby : [ sighs ] look , that 's just because you do n't understand the dynamic at play here . and dad does n't joke . you just -- you do n't know . summer : okay , you know what ? there is one thing that we do know , and that 's where the door is . abby : [ sighs ] victor : where did summer go ? noah : she decided she was n't very hungry . um , i 'm not feeling that great either . i think i 'm gon na head out . so , uh , enjoy family dinner . victor : all right . noah : good night . [ door opens , closes ] victor : what the hell happened ? abby : um , some people have no sense of humor . jack : no , you 're right . i - i - i fell for kelly . i fell for her in a big way , but not until after i 'd lost all hope that phyllis would ever return . she blindsided me coming back . ashley : not to mention she upset you by hiding the fact that summer is nick 's daughter and not yours . jack : i wish that had n't happened . she made things a lot more difficult . ashley : not to mention she caused you a lot of needless pain . jack : as phyllis said , i fell in love with all of her -- the good and the bad . these last few days , i 'm telling you , i realized i 'm as crazy about her now as i have ever been . so i have to tell kelly it 's over . ashley : you have n't told kelly ? what are you doing ? you 're engaged to phyllis . why are you stringing kelly along ? jack : i tried to tell her . ashley : well , why did n't you do it ? jack : her mother is in the hospital with a heart attack . kelly is distraught . i did not want to add to her problems . ashley : jack , you ca n't wait until everything is all right . you 've got to tell her right away . what if she hears about it from somebody else ? jack : i know . i know . you 're right . i have to tell her . lily : well , that takes care of flowers . kelly : and what about the cake ? lily : uh , oh , the bride wants red - velvet cupcakes . kelly : those do n't photograph very well . lily : i know . i told her that , but i guess her and the groom -- that 's what they had as dessert on their first date . kelly : that 's sweet . lily : yeah , it was cute . i guess he took her to this concert in the park , and they had a picnic . and then i guess it was cold outside , so he gave her his jacket , and ... hello ? something wrong ? kelly : sorry . just my first date with jack was a concert in the park . lily : you know , maybe he just wants to let phyllis down gently , you know ? that you guys are gon na have a future together , and -- and maybe he tried to tell her , and something came up , like the phone rang or someone at the door . you know how those things go . kelly : yeah , maybe that 's it . and maybe he did tell her , and they had a big blowout , and he 's just trying to spare me . lily : yeah , i mean , knowing phyllis , i 'm sure she did not take the news very well at all . kelly : yeah , considering the stories i 've heard , i 'm surprised that woman has n't come after me with a machete . [ both chuckle ] lily : yeah . ashley : so , now i understand what the surprise was about . you 're engaged to marry my brother . phyllis : at long last . traci : well , i , for one , am very happy . i think it 's great . jack : well , you know what ? i 'm gon na leave you ladies to enjoy yourselves . phyllis : what ? you 're leaving now ? jack , no . jack : i did not know about this , and i have a meeting that i ca n't get out of . phyllis : so send your assistant , hilary , or one of the vps . jack : it 's important that i be there to see this person myself . ashley : yeah , i agree with that . you need to handle this as soon as possible before everything falls apart . jack : i 'll be back as soon as i can , okay ? phyllis : try not to be too late , okay ? jack : i do n't know how long it 's gon na be , but i 'll be back quickly . [ smooches ] phyllis : well , i can throw a party , ca n't i ? traci : oh , i would n't worry about it . you know , impromptu gatherings are always kind of a crapshoot , right ? ashley : in case i have n't said , um , congratulations . [ glasses clink ] ashley : yay . phyllis : yeah , you did n't . yeah , but you also might recall that i 'm not an idiot . i know how you feel about me , ashley , and you probably had a few choice words to say to jack about me behind my back . ashley : no , i really did n't , and you can ask him yourself . but now that he 's gone , and it 's just the three of us , maybe it 'll give us a chance to clear the air and get things out in the open . phyllis : oh , i do n't think so . [ keys jingle , lock clicks ] [ dog panting ] nick : hey , dog . what are you doing ? are you the welcoming committee ? hmm ? what 's your name ? you do n't have any tags . but you definitely belong to somebody . that 's a good boy . well , i 'll tell you what . i 'll get you some water , and i 'll get some wood and warm this place up , and we can hang out for a while , huh ? sound good ? austin : i mean , please , where does he get off ? summer : yeah , well , you should hear what he calls people that he does n't like . noah : well , i still think you kind of owe me an apology . summer : what , am i supposed to say that i forgive your mother for the way that she screwed up my whole last year ? not to mention my mother 's ? austin : okay . noah : look , there 's -- austin : no , no , no . let it go , all right ? victor may have gotten us all wound up , but we do n't have to let it ruin our night or forget how much we like each other . noah : no . how much we love each other . summer : all right . shut up and just give me a hug . noah : i love you . summer : love you . noah : okay , i told dad i was gon na keep an eye on things , so ... austin : all right . summer : abandon us . see if we care . noah : have a good time . summer : okay . austin : oh , are you as hungry as i am ? summer : yes , i 'm starved . austin : [ chuckling ] okay . do you want to eat here , or do you want to maybe go back to your mom 's ? see if it 's not too late for dessert . summer : uh , no . then we 're gon na have to give an explanation of why we 're not at the ranch house , and honestly , i am tired of explanations and having to constantly defend the way that i feel , so ... austin : is that why you thanked jack for telling kyle ? so you did n't have to ? summer : i mean , it made it a lot easier , for sure . austin : because ... ? summer : kyle and i were close at one point . austin : how close ? i mean , i know he 's jack 's son and all , but ... summer : i - i was ... in love with kyle . summer : so , every time i mentioned kyle 's name , my dad would practically freak out , which , at the time , i did n't understand why , but ... now i do . i mean , he thought i was falling in love with my brother , and that 's what motivated him to redo the paternity test , you know , to keep me from getting in any deeper . what are you thinking ? austin : well , if sharon had n't messed with the lab results , your life would be way different . summer : yeah , maybe . but , you know , the fact that i did n't know the truth had a good side -- one that i 'm really glad about . austin : yeah ? summer : yeah . you know , if kyle and i had gotten together , i never would have run off with you or married you , and being your wife has been , by far , the greatest thing that has ever happened to me . nick : what better way than over a drink for new friends to get to know each other ? [ cell phone rings ] nick : i 'd rather talk to the dog . abby : nick did n't pick up ? victor : no . i 'm not gon na spend the rest of the evening worrying about it , either . abby : oh , i 'm sure he 's fine . he probably just needs space , like some other members of our family that i will not name . victor : yeah . well , if they do n't want to be here , that 's their problem , right ? abby : right . well , dad , you ca n't control everyone . victor : not even you ? abby : oh , especially not me . victor : really ? abby : [ chuckling ] i am my father 's daughter . victor : come here . i love you . abby : love you . victor : well , thanksgiving is around the corner . i 'm sure everyone will be here for that . adam : thank you . constance : gabriel , darling . adam : yes ? constance : i realize you 're feeling cooped up . but perhaps -- perhaps a little reading would be good . i believe you were in the middle of this book before the accident . it was always one of your favorites . adam : thank you . sage : i believe you read it almost every other year , at least . [ both chuckle ] adam : right . uh , yeah , thank you . that 's very generous , grandmother . constance : look who 's come to say hello . bugatti 's been so lonely without you . adam : hey , bugatti . come here , boy . come here . bugatti : [ growls ] constance : buga -- bugatti , what 's gotten into you ? bugatti : [ barks ] constance : this -- this is gabriel . you adore each other . bugatti : [ growls ] [ barking ] constance : oh . bugatti , no . chelsea : what you said -- it 's all true . even though adam is gone , we were married , and we shared our hopes and our dreams . that will always be there . billy : and when those hopes and dreams do n't pan out , you got to put them away , move on with your life and try to find happiness wherever you can , and i have . chelse , i have with you . chelsea : that 's great , billy . but can you honestly tell me that nothing will change between us if victoria 's baby turns out to be yours ? ashley : so , you invite traci and me over , and now , suddenly , you do n't want us to stay ? phyllis : you know , the party 's a bust . better luck next time . i think i am gon na go to jabot , connect with some of my colleagues , and wait for jack , have a nice dinner with him . ashley : no . now that he 's not here , why do n't we catch up ? right ? it 's been a long time . traci : and think how great it will be when jack walks in , and we 're all planning your party together . ashley : without any kind of blood splatter on the walls . [ chuckles ] phyllis : fine . i will stay ... because traci is right . and jack -- he will be happy about that . ashley : yeah . traci : and us , too . phyllis : look , i - i know that we 've had our differences , and it 's important to me that you both know that i really want to be a part of this family . i want to show you and jack that i 'd do just about anything to be the kind of wife he deserves . ashley : that 's so nice . phyllis : you know what i 'd love to do right now ? i 'd love for us just to sit down with our wine and a plateful of snacks and just look at some pictures -- all the family albums , you know , and all those cute little pictures of jack -- little naked - butt shots . [ both chuckle ] ashley : okay . and all the stories that go along with them , right ? phyllis : you read my mind . traci : well , i think jack keeps the albums in the study , so ... ashley : yeah , let 's go see what we can find , okay ? traci : all right . lily : well , are you sure that you 're not hungry ? 'cause i can have the chef make you something to go . kelly : please . no , i 'm fine . if i get desperate , i 'll forage out of the hospital vending machines . lily : oh , that sounds amazing . kelly : [ chuckles ] lily : have a good night , okay ? kelly : thanks . you , too . bye . jack : kelly . kelly : [ gasps ] hey , jack . i did n't even see you come in . jack : i 'm glad i ran into you . kelly : oh , that makes two of us . jack : um ... we need to talk . [ next_on ] stitch : i did n't kill dad , kelly . chelsea : there 's something you need to know . | nick decides to get out of town for a few days to think , so he says goodbye to his family and tells them he will be back soon . sage tells adam that he has to take it easy and not rush his recovery , but adam is eager to get back home to chelsea and connor . sage reminds adam that he is pretending to be constance 's grandson , gabriel , and she will be heartbroken if he leaves now . adam tells sage that he appreciates everything that constance has done for him , but he must get on with his life . adam has a problem when gabriel 's dog starts barking at him and constance wonders why the dog is acting strangely towards gabriel . ashley advises billy to face the fact that victoria is the love of his life and he and victoria belong together . chelsea overhears the conversation between ashley and billy , so he tells her that for a moment when he held the baby , his connection with victoria came back , but he knows that victoria is his past and chelsea is his future . | <s>[INST] victor : nicholas . you 're the first one here . i 'm so glad you came . it would n't be a newman - family celebration without you . nick : i 'm not here for the party . i just came to say goodbye . victor : you what ? phyllis : please , come in . come in . let me take your coats . summer : thank you . phyllis : oh , i 'm so glad you made it . summer : thanks . phyllis : the others will be here soon . jack : others ? hi . who else is gon na be here ? phyllis : i thought it would be a great idea to make an announcement about our engagement to our friends and family tonight . jack : no , phyllis . that is not a good idea . adam : come on . [ sighs ] [ grunts ] [ breathing shakily ] [ grunts , groans ] sage : what are you doing ? you need to take it slow . adam : i ca n't take it slow . i need to leave . constance : leave ? what are you talking about ? chelsea : hey . you 're home . how are victoria and the baby ? billy : uh , great . great . everybody 's happy and healthy . chelsea : i 'm so glad . uh , thanks for keeping me posted when you were at the hospital . billy : yeah , sure . i 'm -- i 'm glad you 're glad . chelsea : oh , yeah , of course i am . i - i know what it 's like -- how excited you are to see your baby , make sure they have 10 fingers , 10 toes . i 'm just grateful it all went well . billy : well , it actually did n't go that simple .

abby : what 'd we miss ? summer : mom and jack are getting married . abby : oh , my god ! congratulations ! phyllis : thank you . both jack and i are thrilled . jack : g - guys -- everybody calm down . this whole announcement is premature . phyllis : why ? jack : [ sighs ] victor : why would you come here tonight , of all nights , and talk as if you 're leaving ? nick : because i am leaving . victor : what do you mean ? nick : look , dad , i just came to tell you i 'm going out of town for a couple days . i need some time to myself . noah : is that why you called me and asked me to look after the underground ? nick : yeah , it is , dude . i appreciate you doing that . noah : yeah , no problem . victor : yeah , there 's a problem . you ca n't leave . you 're gon na have a court date . nick : look , i did n't come here for your advice . victor : well , obviously , you need it . nick : no , i do n't . the only person with a need here is you -- to control everyone 's lives as usual . and i know this party tonight has nothing to do with me . this is about you celebrating the fact that sharon got kicked to the curb . now , i did n't come here to pick a fight with you -- i swear it . i just came to tell you i got to go out of town for a couple days . that 's it . i do n't have an agenda . victor : really ? you think i have an agenda by inviting the whole family to celebrate the fact that summer is your daughter , part of our family now ? nick : or is it just another chance for you to twist the knife and prove that , once again , you were right about sharon ? victor : and i was right , was n't i ? nick : yes , you were . victor : okay . nick : and you were also right about me . billy : you calling me a liar ? ashley : billy , you must be so anxious , wondering if that little baby girl is yours . billy : once i find out the answer , what 's it gon na change ? i mean , maybe i get lucky , and on visitation days , i pick up two kids instead of one . ashley : oh , stop it . that is so depressing . billy : no , it 's realistic . ash , victoria and i are divorced . ashley : it does n't mean you love her any less . billy : if this is going to be one of those `` you two belong together `` pep talks , i have seen this movie like 15 times with other people , and i 'm all out of popcorn . just saying . ashley : i 'm just saying ... you two belong together . billy : ash , look -- look around . this -- this is my home , okay ? uh , this -- this is chelsea 's , and , yeah , that 's her perfume . that 's the smell that i smell every night when i get into bed with her -- our bed . and , uh , this -- it 's connor 's . see this lovely green stain ? that 's where he mashes peas into it when i 'm trying to feed him . this is my life . ashley : and you 're kidding yourself if you think you can find happiness with somebody that is n't victoria . she is the love of your life , and you know it . billy : and you are quoting the script verbatim . ashley : and if i 'm saying things that other people in your life are saying that love you , maybe you should start listening to what we 're telling you instead of being so glib . look , i came by to pick you up to bring you to jack 's for whatever surprise phyllis is planning , but i think it 's kind of pointless 'cause you 're gon na end up sitting next to somebody that is n't victoria , and you 're gon na be wishing that she was . and you know very well that if that little girl ends up not being yours , you 're not gon na love victoria any less . and you 're still gon na wake up smelling chelsea 's perfume and kicking yourself , billy . come on . billy : thanks , ash . [ sighs ] kelly : oh , no , jack came by the hospital to be with me , but , um , mom was just waking up , and i wanted to see her , so he and i did n't really get a chance to talk . lily : well , why did n't he wait for you ? kelly : i could tell he was preoccupied . lily : any idea why ? kelly : uh , not really . um , although he did tell phyllis that we 'd been dating . lily : dating , really ? that 's what he calls asking you to move in with him ? kelly : lily , be fair . this is n't easy for jack either . lily : come on . what about you ? kelly : it 's awkward ... especially now that victoria 's had her baby . lily : right , because ben or billy could be the father . kelly : exactly , and ben really loves victoria , so he 's hoping that this little girl is his . lily : well , yeah , so does billy . so i could see why that would be awkward for jack and why he would be distracted ... unless there 's another reason why . jack : i just think we ought to delay the announcement . phyllis : and i 'll ask again . honey , what 's holding us up ? jack : we have n't had time to enjoy it for ourselves , to revel in our engagement . i want some time with my fiancée before the rest of the world horns in on it . phyllis : well , that is very sweet , but we 're only announcing it to our immediate family . now , i got some killer champagne , some sparkling cider , and i have some wonderful hors d'oeuvres in the oven . do n't worry . i did n't make them . [ chuckles ] summer : mom , please do n't kill me , but austin and i ca n't stay . abby : uh , neither can i , unfortunately . phyllis : how come ? abby : dad invited us to dinner . phyllis : oh . okay . why are we upstaged by him ? what 's that about ? summer : it 's a newman family thing . jack : of course . summer : i 'm sorry , jack . i - i should n't have even said ... abby : um , thanks to sharon , you know , nick 's whole life has blown up , so dad really wants us to rally around him . austin : if we could only be in two places at once . summer : no , i hate this . jack : no , no , do n't . do n't . of course you want to be there for your dad . he 's your dad . phyllis : okay . why not run out there later in time for dessert ? i 'm sure victor wo n't mind . abby : are we talking about the same victor newman ? phyllis : look , you all are my family , too , and we have something wonderful to celebrate tonight . plus , i have enough food to feed an army . summer : mom , please do n't do this . phyllis : do what ? summer : pull one of your guilt trips and make me choose between families . jack : summer had a previous engagement . this little shindig you put together at the last minute . traci : yes , they do have a point , phyllis . jack : listen to me . go . enjoy yourself . there 'll be plenty of time to get together later . do n't make everyone wait . phyllis : hey . we will celebrate later . i did ask jack , though , to throw me a big , splashy party to mark the occasion . abby : well , then you got to let me help . i know all about `` splashy . `` traci : oh , yes , `` splashy `` is abby 's specialty . abby : yes . traci : [ chuckles ] phyllis : very good . i want your best work . traci : [ chuckles ] summer : um , hey . thank you for calling kyle . he called me . thanks for filling him in on everything . thanks . noah : oh , you and grandpa agreeing on something . this i got to hear . nick : yeah , your grandpa said i needed to stop focusing on his actions and start thinking about my own choices . noah : so , is that why you 're leaving ? nick : yeah , i 've let my anger at what sharon 's done control me , and i got to get away -- not just from sharon but from the anger , too . i need some time to think , especially since this involves faith . victor : i want you to know that i back you for suing for full custody 100 % . noah : wait . you what ? victor : what i do n't understand is that you 'd leave now -- leave that beautiful girl with the likes of sharon . nick : dad , we share legal custody . i ca n't just be seen taking my daughter away from her mother when she has every right to see her . i do n't like it , but i got to deal with it for now . and besides , faith is furious with me for not marrying her mother . faith could use some space , too , right now . victor : so you 're running away . nick : i 'm not running away from anything . i just need to get away from people . noah : dad , you know , what grandpa 's saying -- it makes sense . you know , i mean , none of this would have even happened had you just redone the paternity test when summer was born . adam : i need to get out of this room . you know , uh , i 'd like to see some daylight . i have n't been out of this house in months . sage : [ chuckles ] and i explained to gabriel that he 's just not strong enough yet . constance : and all these weights , all that physical exertion -- you should n't be pushing yourself so hard . adam : well , that 's very sweet , but i promise you i 'm up for it , okay ? i wo n't overdo . sage : you know , for safety 's sake , i will give him a painkiller , and then i will help him to bed and you . constance : get some rest . adam : yes , ma'am . [ sighs ] no more painkillers . sage , i mean it . no more sedatives . and do n't try to jab me with one like you did last time . sage : it 's for your own good . the more you rest , the sooner you 'll get better . adam : no , i am tired of resting . sage : your defenses are down . you nearly gave yourself away to constance a few times ! adam : well , if you 're talking about `` spinach - gate `` and my sudden distaste for it , i think i covered rather well . sage : that time . but how long are you gon na be able to keep that up , huh ? i can only cover for you so much . adam : yeah , and we all know you 're looking out for my best interests , are n't you , hmm ? billy : [ sighs ] hey . how 's johnny ? chelsea : hey . uh , he 's perfect . um ... billy , please do n't feel like you need to lie to me about ashley 's visit . i heard what she said . billy : she was out of line . chelsea : listen , i 've had similar thoughts . billy : chelse -- chelsea : look , billy , i understand that you still care about victoria . i mean , how could you not ? [ chuckles ] we 've discussed this before . you guys struggled for a long time to have a baby together . so , after what you told me today , that you were actually there for the birth of her daughter , i mean , that must have been huge for you . i 'm sure it brought back everything you felt for her before it all went wrong . billy : you 're right . it did . nick : i made a terrible mistake . when that first paternity test came back corrupted , i should have insisted that they run another one . but i did n't do that . i let my fear get the best of me , and i lied . and i am truly sorry for that . it 's just another reason why i got to get away . i got to figure out how to start making better decisions in my life . i - i hope someday , son , that you 'll be able to forgive me . victor : nicholas , there 's nothing to forgive , all right ? it is sharon 's addled , screwed - up brain ... noah : there 's no need to insult my mother . it 's not gon na accomplish anything . nick : okay , i do n't want to do this . i did n't come over here for this . i just came to say goodbye . you have people coming over , and i got to get out of town before it 's too late . noah , you 'll hold the fort down for me at the club ? noah : i will . nick : dad , you 'll keep an eye on my girls for me ? victor : i will , son . come here . nick : thank you . i love you , dude . noah : i love you , too , dad . [ door opens ] abby : hello . the party has arrived . nick : uh , actually , i was , uh , just leaving . summer : wait . why ? where are you going ? abby : wait , this party is for you , nick . nick : yeah , so i 've been told . um , i got to go out of town for a couple days , so you 're gon na have to party without me . austin : bummer . summer : i know . i was really looking forward to spending some time with you . nick : yeah , me , too . uh , we can do that when i get back . summer : promise ? nick : i absolutely promise . summer : i love you . abby : bye . phyllis : all righty , let 's talk party . now , the event planner at the club will handle most of the details , but i 'd like to have a hand in the decorating . traci : well , then , if that 's the case , um , there are some beautiful english roses just starting to bloom in the conservatory . i do n't know . maybe you would like to see them and see if they 'll work in your floral arrangements ? phyllis : love it . lead the way . jack : thanks , sis . ashley : floral arrangements ? jack : yeah , phyllis wants to throw a big engagement party . ashley : jack , you 're actually gon na marry her ? jack : yes , i am , and i want you to be happy for me . ashley : jack -- jack : i love phyllis , and i 'm planning on spending the rest of my life with her . ashley : oh , i do n't doubt that . jack : good . ashley : but since she 's been gone , you 've fallen in love with another woman , so how does that fit into your plan ? billy : i should n't have been so -- chelsea : honest ? billy : blunt . but i do n't want to lie to you . and i do n't want to pretend either . that is what cratered my marriage . chelsea : my whole relationship with dylan was based on a lie , so if you have something to say , billy , you just got to say it . i wo n't flip out if you tell me you 're feeling conflicted . billy : i 'm glad to hear you say that , because when i was helping vicki deliver the baby , and then it was just the three of us alone , i - i had a moment . chelsea : so , ashley was right ? you want to be with her ? billy : no , ashley is wrong . when i walked through that door , and i saw you , i was reminded of how much i love you . i want to be with you , chelse . i mean , yeah , vick and i -- we had kids together , and we -- we shared a life . we 're always going to have that connection , just like you and adam are always going to have a connection . sage : look , i hate to put a dent in your extremely healthy ego , but my help is not about you . it 's about constance . adam : right . right . sage : she is the grandmother that i never had . i owe her everything . she is extremely frail , and if she ever found out that you are not really gabriel ... she could n't handle it . adam : okay , look . i understand that , and believe me , i need gabriel as much as she does . sage : okay , then you can not just act like him . you have to be him . adam : i had an impulse , and i acted on it . i thought you told me that 's the kind of guy gabriel was . sage : well , even if he was , he would never hurt her . adam : i would n't hurt her , sage , but i 'm not gon na sit here and be her prisoner . this is my chance to start a new life , okay ? and nothing 's gon na prevent that . victor : a toast to my granddaughter summer . summer : uh , do n't you think we should wait until everyone can be here -- like grandma ? abby : well , visiting hours are n't over for another couple hours at the hospital . i 'm sure nikki will want to stay with victoria and the baby until then . victor : i assure you she wo n't mind if we go ahead without her , okay ? and i 've always considered you my granddaughter , but now we have learned that you and i are related by blood . that makes me very happy . to you , my darling . summer : actually , there 's a toast i would like to make , uh , to my mom and jack . they are officially engaged . victor : you expect me to toast jack abbott ? summer : i love jack , grandpa . victor : mm . summer : he was my dad for a while . i 'm not gon na let you gloat over his loss . you understand that , right ? victor : sweetheart , what i understand is that you are a beautiful , very compassionate , very forgiving lady , okay ? tell you what -- i 'm going to get a new bottle of champagne . how 's that ? austin : well , he seems unusually amenable . abby : he 's trying . summer : yeah , he 's definitely up to something . noah : oh , he was on a roll earlier . he was insulting my mom . summer : too bad i could n't be there to join in . noah : hold on . jack 's off - limits , but my mom is n't ? okay , it 's an illness . she was n't responsible for her actions . austin : responsible or not , she hurt my wife , and she wrecked a lot of people 's lives , noah . abby : austin , you 're a little out of your element here . summer : okay , if my husband has something to say , he 's allowed to say it . abby : yeah , by all means . it 's a free country , especially if you can not go to jail after committing a dangerous , violent crime . [ chuckles ] summer : okay , so it 's not enough that he 's paid his debt , but now he has to come here and get insulted , too ? abby : relax , summer . i like austin . i do . it 's just dad would eat him alive if he heard him speaking like that . summer : grandpa has wrecked more lives than anyone that i know , and now he 's gon na sit here and try to make me choose between the abbotts and the newmans again . abby : summer , no one understands that dilemma more than i do , but now you do n't have to choose . you 're not an abbott . jack 's not your dad . nick is . noah : well , he 's my father , too , and how long before grandpa tries to put me in a position to choose just because he does n't like my mom ? summer : your mom is getting everything that she deserves . noah : whoa , and your mom is so perfect ? summer : your mom is a lot worse . abby : honestly , i think it 's a tie . [ chuckles ] austin : that 's not funny . abby : it 's a little bit hilarious . summer : okay , you know what ? then you two can laugh it up without me , because i 'm done . austin : that makes two of us . abby : no , relax . look , i 'm trying to lighten the mood . it 's jokes -- jokes . austin : does n't seem like a joke , abby . abby : [ sighs ] look , that 's just because you do n't understand the dynamic at play here . and dad does n't joke . you just -- you do n't know . summer : okay , you know what ? there is one thing that we do know , and that 's where the door is . abby : [ sighs ] victor : where did summer go ? noah : she decided she was n't very hungry . um , i 'm not feeling that great either . i think i 'm gon na head out . so , uh , enjoy family dinner . victor : all right . noah : good night . [ door opens , closes ] victor : what the hell happened ? abby : um , some people have no sense of humor . jack : no , you 're right . i - i - i fell for kelly . i fell for her in a big way , but not until after i 'd lost all hope that phyllis would ever return . she blindsided me coming back . ashley : not to mention she upset you by hiding the fact that summer is nick 's daughter and not yours . jack : i wish that had n't happened . she made things a lot more difficult . ashley : not to mention she caused you a lot of needless pain . jack : as phyllis said , i fell in love with all of her -- the good and the bad . these last few days , i 'm telling you , i realized i 'm as crazy about her now as i have ever been . so i have to tell kelly it 's over . ashley : you have n't told kelly ? what are you doing ? you 're engaged to phyllis . why are you stringing kelly along ? jack : i tried to tell her . ashley : well , why did n't you do it ? jack : her mother is in the hospital with a heart attack . kelly is distraught . i did not want to add to her problems . ashley : jack , you ca n't wait until everything is all right . you 've got to tell her right away . what if she hears about it from somebody else ? jack : i know . i know . you 're right . i have to tell her . lily : well , that takes care of flowers . kelly : and what about the cake ? lily : uh , oh , the bride wants red - velvet cupcakes . kelly : those do n't photograph very well . lily : i know . i told her that , but i guess her and the groom -- that 's what they had as dessert on their first date . kelly : that 's sweet . lily : yeah , it was cute . i guess he took her to this concert in the park , and they had a picnic . and then i guess it was cold outside , so he gave her his jacket , and ... hello ? something wrong ? kelly : sorry . just my first date with jack was a concert in the park . lily : you know , maybe he just wants to let phyllis down gently , you know ? that you guys are gon na have a future together , and -- and maybe he tried to tell her , and something came up , like the phone rang or someone at the door . you know how those things go . kelly : yeah , maybe that 's it . and maybe he did tell her , and they had a big blowout , and he 's just trying to spare me . lily : yeah , i mean , knowing phyllis , i 'm sure she did not take the news very well at all . kelly : yeah , considering the stories i 've heard , i 'm surprised that woman has n't come after me with a machete . [ both chuckle ] lily : yeah . ashley : so , now i understand what the surprise was about . you 're engaged to marry my brother . phyllis : at long last . traci : well , i , for one , am very happy . i think it 's great . jack : well , you know what ? i 'm gon na leave you ladies to enjoy yourselves . phyllis : what ? you 're leaving now ? jack , no . jack : i did not know about this , and i have a meeting that i ca n't get out of . phyllis : so send your assistant , hilary , or one of the vps . jack : it 's important that i be there to see this person myself . ashley : yeah , i agree with that . you need to handle this as soon as possible before everything falls apart . jack : i 'll be back as soon as i can , okay ? phyllis : try not to be too late , okay ? jack : i do n't know how long it 's gon na be , but i 'll be back quickly . [ smooches ] phyllis : well , i can throw a party , ca n't i ? traci : oh , i would n't worry about it . you know , impromptu gatherings are always kind of a crapshoot , right ? ashley : in case i have n't said , um , congratulations . [ glasses clink ] ashley : yay . phyllis : yeah , you did n't . yeah , but you also might recall that i 'm not an idiot . i know how you feel about me , ashley , and you probably had a few choice words to say to jack about me behind my back . ashley : no , i really did n't , and you can ask him yourself . but now that he 's gone , and it 's just the three of us , maybe it 'll give us a chance to clear the air and get things out in the open . phyllis : oh , i do n't think so . [ keys jingle , lock clicks ] [ dog panting ] nick : hey , dog . what are you doing ? are you the welcoming committee ? hmm ? what 's your name ? you do n't have any tags . but you definitely belong to somebody . that 's a good boy . well , i 'll tell you what . i 'll get you some water , and i 'll get some wood and warm this place up , and we can hang out for a while , huh ? sound good ? austin : i mean , please , where does he get off ? summer : yeah , well , you should hear what he calls people that he does n't like . noah : well , i still think you kind of owe me an apology . summer : what , am i supposed to say that i forgive your mother for the way that she screwed up my whole last year ? not to mention my mother 's ? austin : okay . noah : look , there 's -- austin : no , no , no . let it go , all right ? victor may have gotten us all wound up , but we do n't have to let it ruin our night or forget how much we like each other . noah : no . how much we love each other . summer : all right . shut up and just give me a hug . noah : i love you . summer : love you . noah : okay , i told dad i was gon na keep an eye on things , so ... austin : all right . summer : abandon us . see if we care . noah : have a good time . summer : okay . austin : oh , are you as hungry as i am ? summer : yes , i 'm starved . austin : [ chuckling ] okay . do you want to eat here , or do you want to maybe go back to your mom 's ? see if it 's not too late for dessert . summer : uh , no . then we 're gon na have to give an explanation of why we 're not at the ranch house , and honestly , i am tired of explanations and having to constantly defend the way that i feel , so ... austin : is that why you thanked jack for telling kyle ? so you did n't have to ? summer : i mean , it made it a lot easier , for sure . austin : because ... ? summer : kyle and i were close at one point . austin : how close ? i mean , i know he 's jack 's son and all , but ... summer : i - i was ... in love with kyle . summer : so , every time i mentioned kyle 's name , my dad would practically freak out , which , at the time , i did n't understand why , but ... now i do . i mean , he thought i was falling in love with my brother , and that 's what motivated him to redo the paternity test , you know , to keep me from getting in any deeper . what are you thinking ? austin : well , if sharon had n't messed with the lab results , your life would be way different . summer : yeah , maybe . but , you know , the fact that i did n't know the truth had a good side -- one that i 'm really glad about . austin : yeah ? summer : yeah . you know , if kyle and i had gotten together , i never would have run off with you or married you , and being your wife has been , by far , the greatest thing that has ever happened to me . nick : what better way than over a drink for new friends to get to know each other ? [ cell phone rings ] nick : i 'd rather talk to the dog . abby : nick did n't pick up ? victor : no . i 'm not gon na spend the rest of the evening worrying about it , either . abby : oh , i 'm sure he 's fine . he probably just needs space , like some other members of our family that i will not name . victor : yeah . well , if they do n't want to be here , that 's their problem , right ? abby : right . well , dad , you ca n't control everyone . victor : not even you ? abby : oh , especially not me . victor : really ? abby : [ chuckling ] i am my father 's daughter . victor : come here . i love you . abby : love you . victor : well , thanksgiving is around the corner . i 'm sure everyone will be here for that . adam : thank you . constance : gabriel , darling . adam : yes ? constance : i realize you 're feeling cooped up . but perhaps -- perhaps a little reading would be good . i believe you were in the middle of this book before the accident . it was always one of your favorites . adam : thank you . sage : i believe you read it almost every other year , at least . [ both chuckle ] adam : right . uh , yeah , thank you . that 's very generous , grandmother . constance : look who 's come to say hello . bugatti 's been so lonely without you . adam : hey , bugatti . come here , boy . come here . bugatti : [ growls ] constance : buga -- bugatti , what 's gotten into you ? bugatti : [ barks ] constance : this -- this is gabriel . you adore each other . bugatti : [ growls ] [ barking ] constance : oh . bugatti , no . chelsea : what you said -- it 's all true . even though adam is gone , we were married , and we shared our hopes and our dreams . that will always be there . billy : and when those hopes and dreams do n't pan out , you got to put them away , move on with your life and try to find happiness wherever you can , and i have . chelse , i have with you . chelsea : that 's great , billy . but can you honestly tell me that nothing will change between us if victoria 's baby turns out to be yours ? ashley : so , you invite traci and me over , and now , suddenly , you do n't want us to stay ? phyllis : you know , the party 's a bust . better luck next time . i think i am gon na go to jabot , connect with some of my colleagues , and wait for jack , have a nice dinner with him . ashley : no . now that he 's not here , why do n't we catch up ? right ? it 's been a long time . traci : and think how great it will be when jack walks in , and we 're all planning your party together . ashley : without any kind of blood splatter on the walls . [ chuckles ] phyllis : fine . i will stay ... because traci is right . and jack -- he will be happy about that . ashley : yeah . traci : and us , too . phyllis : look , i - i know that we 've had our differences , and it 's important to me that you both know that i really want to be a part of this family . i want to show you and jack that i 'd do just about anything to be the kind of wife he deserves . ashley : that 's so nice . phyllis : you know what i 'd love to do right now ? i 'd love for us just to sit down with our wine and a plateful of snacks and just look at some pictures -- all the family albums , you know , and all those cute little pictures of jack -- little naked - butt shots . [ both chuckle ] ashley : okay . and all the stories that go along with them , right ? phyllis : you read my mind . traci : well , i think jack keeps the albums in the study , so ... ashley : yeah , let 's go see what we can find , okay ? traci : all right . lily : well , are you sure that you 're not hungry ? 'cause i can have the chef make you something to go . kelly : please . no , i 'm fine . if i get desperate , i 'll forage out of the hospital vending machines . lily : oh , that sounds amazing . kelly : [ chuckles ] lily : have a good night , okay ? kelly : thanks . you , too . bye . jack : kelly . kelly : [ gasps ] hey , jack . i did n't even see you come in . jack : i 'm glad i ran into you . kelly : oh , that makes two of us . jack : um ... we need to talk . [ next_on ] stitch : i did n't kill dad , kelly . chelsea : there 's something you need to know .Summarize.[/INST]nick decides to get out of town for a few days to think , so he says goodbye to his family and tells them he will be back soon . sage tells adam that he has to take it easy and not rush his recovery , but adam is eager to get back home to chelsea and connor . sage reminds adam that he is pretending to be constance 's grandson , gabriel , and she will be heartbroken if he leaves now . adam tells sage that he appreciates everything that constance has done for him , but he must get on with his life . adam has a problem when gabriel 's dog starts barking at him and constance wonders why the dog is acting strangely towards gabriel . ashley advises billy to face the fact that victoria is the love of his life and he and victoria belong together . chelsea overhears the conversation between ashley and billy , so he tells her that for a moment when he held the baby , his connection with victoria came back , but he knows that victoria is his past and chelsea is his future .</s> | 18,611 |

nick : summer wants no part of you . or did n't she make her feelings very clear ? luca : we both did , after we each confessed what we 'd done . nick : confessed ? luca : i gave the press some inside information that made victoria look bad . once i told summer that , she admitted that she tried to set me up . that 's right . i told her i wanted a job at newman and was willing to do anything to get it -- anything but hurt her . like it or not , nick , i love your daughter . nick : well , if that 's the case , there 's only one way to prove it . luca : and what 's that ? nick : pack your bags and leave town . summer : you moved out ? mom , that makes no sense . you and jack , you guys are amazing together . phyllis : okay , nobody can understand what 's going on in a relationship except for the two people in it . things are n't always as they appear . summer : okay , so does that mean you 're not gon na try to give me all this advice and pretend to know what 's happening with me and luca ? phyllis : no . you can not compare your troubles with luca to me and jack taking a break , okay ? summer : you guys are married . taking a break -- what does that even mean ? phyllis : it means that i need time to think , honey . summer : about what ? what happened ? what did jack do ? phyllis : it 's nothing jack did . it 's what i did . jack : phyllis flew to canada that day for some business meetings , only it does n't show up in this monthly flight summary . could that be an oversight or maybe a last - minute change in the flight plans or -- she never got on the plane ? you 're sure ? okay . thanks , howard . ashley : hi . jack : hi . ashley : just checking on you . i hope you spoke to phyllis and took my advice . you got to keep the lines of communication open . what 's the matter ? jack : i think phyllis has been lying to me . devon : `` the pair were also spotted looking very cozy at the polo lounge , along with several members of the diva 's entourage . her jilted hubby responded by dumping her entire shoe collection into the pool of their bel air mansion . `` hilary : oh , no ! no , jimmy choos and chlorine ? no , that does not mix . devon : yeah . it says here he 's checking her out , along with the shoes . hilary : well , it serves her right for not appreciating the good man that she had .

! if -- if this is true , this is a hostile takeover ! and i know exactly who is behind it . victoria : okay , do n't try to blame someone else . you took your eye off the ball . it 's too late to do something about it . billy : do n't say that . vick , do n't say that . luca : i thought you learned by now that you ca n't control summer . if she decides to forgive me , she wo n't let anyone keep us apart , not even you . nick : if summer is n't a means to an end , if you truly do care about her , then you need to do what 's best for her . because , luca , when you go down -- and you will go down -- you 're gon na drag her down with you . luca : i did n't think making threats was your style . nick : it 's more my dad 's . he always makes good on it . luca : victor 's in prison . nick : for now . but his hearing to appeal his sentence is tomorrow , and when he gets out , he 's not gon na like hearing that you 've been shacking up with his granddaughter or how hard you 've been working to undermine victoria . luca : i 'll take my chances . nick : then you are a fool . nick : why do n't you ask billy abbott how that logic works out ? luca : this is a very different situation of what he had with victoria . nick : no , actually , it 's not . see , my dad does n't trust you . he never has . when he gets out and he finds out how deep summer 's gotten , he 's gon na question her judgment , maybe even lose some respect for her . luca , is that how you 're gon na prove to summer that you care about her ?

phyllis : [ chuckles ] no , you are definitely not a kid anymore . look , things have been strained between jack and me for a while , okay ? summer : okay , is it because pass key ? because i know jack was against you and billy trying to buy it out from under grandpa . phyllis : it was more than that . it had a lot to do with victor . summer : okay , and jack wanted you to drop it . phyllis : yeah . honey , look , i know that you love your grandfather and you are gon na support him at that hearing . but i can not forget what happened . that is too much to expect from me . summer : okay , so then tell jack that . phyllis : i did . and he seems to understand , which makes this all very difficult , because if he was being insensitive or intolerant , that would be one thing . but he is not . he is being good , true , and wonderful jack . summer : okay , so what 's wrong with that ? phyllis : nothing . but , you know , even when two people love each other , sometimes it is n't enough . not if they want different things . jack : the pilot said phyllis never even ordered the jet that day . what am i supposed to do with that ? track down these foreign investors and see if she showed up at their meeting ? i mean , assuming they do exist . what 's that say about pass key , much less my marriage ? ashley : what exactly are you suggesting , jackie ? that phyllis invented this trip so she could rob a bank or she 's covering up some torrid affair ? i 'm joking . jack : i 'm not . victoria : i 'm not interested in your bogus story about some kind of hostile takeover , billy . billy : even if it 's true , vick ? victoria : tomorrow 's a big day for my family . we 're going before a judge and speaking up for my father so we can try to bring him home . i 'm sure you 'd prefer to see him rot in jail , right ? maybe that 's what this is about . maybe you 're just taking your anger out on me . is that what you 're doing ? if that 's the case , i feel really sorry for you , billy . billy : vick . victoria : [ scoffs ] cane : hey . victoria : hi . cane : hey . oh , it 's good , man . looks like you got some samples on the wall . so things are moving along , huh ? billy : yeah , they are . you 've been busy , have n't you , cane ? not only are you overseeing the renovation , but you had enough time to steal my company out from under me . you son of a bitch . victoria : oh ! cane : [ laughs ] summer : what is wrong with this picture ? me giving you relationship advice ? phyllis : you are wiser than you think , my dear one . summer : yeah , i do not feel it , especially after that talk i just had with luca . phyllis : so it did n't go well ? summer : i mean , at least we got all of our issues out on the table . but here you are saying all this vague stuff about how you and jack want different things , whatever the hell that means . phyllis : you 're so beautiful . you 're 21 years old , and you 're more grounded than i am . and i do n't know when that happened . and i hope i can learn from you before it 's too late . summer : mom ?

'cause you know what the problem is with you ? you are a gambler . but when you gamble , you like to lose . billy : you insufferable -- victoria : oh , no . wait a second . hold on . look , you may have the ego to pull off a stunt like this , but i created brash & sassy , and i 'm the only one that knows how to run it . billy : oh , no . cane 's not gon na be running anything , because he 's a little errand boy . he 's gon na be overseeing the takeover , just like he was overseeing the renovation for mommy , right ? 'cause you 're a little mommy 's boy . that 's who you did this for , right ? you bought the company for chancellor , did n't you ? cane : who knows a son 's weakness better than his own mother ? and do n't look so surprised . this is not the first time she 's replaced you with me , so ... it looks like you 're out and i 'm in . i like the yellow . victoria : oh , no . no . just let it go . let it go ! billy : are you kidding me ? let it go ? after what he just did ? victoria : cane 's right . there 's nobody to blame here but you . ashley : jack , i know you 're upset , but for you to think that phyllis is actually being unfaithful to you , i just do n't see it . jack : you know what ? you 're absolutely right . i - i do n't know what i -- [ sighs ] i love my wife . i trust her implicitly . ashley : i know you do . it 's a confusing time . you 're letting your imagination get the best of you , jackie . jack : you think i like being suspicious ? i hate it . ash , she moved out for a reason . she said she 's unhappy . and i do n't think it 's a giant leap to think i may be part of that unhappiness . maybe she 's looking elsewhere , looking for someone else -- ashley : okay , could you not do this to yourself ? whatever she 's going through , let her work through it . just be patient . and do n't bring this up to phyllis .

'cause he 's kind of furious i 'm working for jill and he has the emotional impulse control of a toddler . lily : wait , jill asked you to supervise . why would billy resent that ? cane : well ... actually , the whole thing was a cover so i could buy up his debt and chancellor can acquire brash & sassy . so he did n't like it and -- pop ! -- sucker - punched me . so , uh , surprise ! i 'm heading up the new line at chancellor . okay . are you -- are you happy for me ? billy : you 're blaming me for this ? victoria : you made it possible for jill and cane to do this . if you had n't been so distracted by so many other things and focused on my brand that you took from me ! billy : how many times do i have to tell you that i bought brash & sassy to stop your father from selling it to a stranger ? victoria : now it belongs to jill ! your mother ! and -- and i just want to know why ! i can understand her taking this house back from you , but why would jill make a play for my company ? billy : i have no idea , but i 'm gon na call her and get some answers . victoria : no , i do n't want her excuses ! i do n't want to hear your excuses ! you can both go to hell for all i care ! billy : vick , wait . vick . mother , you always talk about how much this beloved house means to you . if you do n't call me back , i swear to god i 'm gon na burn it to the ground . lily : you 're gon na be running a major division for chancellor ? how do you think i feel ? i - i think this is amazing . why did n't you tell me ? cane : well , i did n't want to get our hopes up till jill gave me the job . i had a chance to close up the deal . lily : yeah , i 'm sure you jumped at it . cane : oh , my god . i did . i ca n't wait to start . i have so many ideas for this marketing line . lily : oh , i love seeing you like this . i just wish you had told me sooner . cane : well , i 'm telling you now . oh ! i have n't told lauren . i feel alive . i feel fantastic . you know , i have n't felt this good in years . i even feel great that billy punched me and i had a chance to punch him back .

[ door opens ] with proper care and a more traditional approach , i 'm hopeful that he 'll be able to treat -- ashley : is that in case something happens to hilary and this place wo n't be liable ? is that what you 're saying ? barton : this does n't concern you , ashley . ashley : i have something to say , and i 'm not leaving until i say it . hilary , dr. simon neville pulled you out of a coma . and if he had n't continued to treat you , you would n't be here right now well enough to apparently forget everything he 's done for you . barton : that 'll be enough . ashley : i 'm not finished . i 'm standing here today because of dr. neville . he saved my life , too . if anything , this place should be doing everything it can to support him and his work . barton : i 'm not going to let you upset this patient . now , by allowing you to defraud the fda , simon not only jeopardized his reputation , but he put every patient in his trial at risk . surely you know that . devon : she used to . ashley : he 's not perfect . i 'm not perfect . are you perfect , hilary ? devon : you 're out of line right now , okay ? ashley : i 'm trying to make a point . i was afraid just like you . i was terrified . i thought i was dying . but i did n't die because of dr. simon neville , hilary . are you really gon na punish him ? all that man is doing is trying to do everything he can to find a cure for you ! devon : ashley , i really think it 'd be best if you left right now . ashley : fine . summer : i thought you trusted me to handle things with luca , but instead you go behind my back and tell him to leave town ? nick : of course i trust you . summer : yeah , well , you have a funny way of showing it . nick : look , i 'm not gon na apologize for asking him to do the honorable thing . but him playing on your feelings like this , it just proves once again that luca is only out for himself . summer : not only was he trying to live up to your standards , but he also admitted to tipping off the reporter to make victoria look bad . nick : so he knew you were going to accuse him . he owns up to it first . it 's a smart play . summer : [ scoffs ] you have an answer for everything , do n't you ? nick : surely you understand he was just using you to get into the company . summer : luca has never denied the fact that he would love to work for newman . but he loves me more , and now he is willing to walk away from it all , and so am i . nick : and what does that mean ? summer : that i do n't need grandpa 's approval or yours . luca loves me , and that 's enough . so thank you for making that clear to me . nick : summer . summer ! [ sighs ] billy : no , no , no . do n't tell me that i do n't have any recourse . everybody has a price , including my mother . i do n't care what you do . just make a counter offer ! threaten to sue ! do whatever you need to do ! just get my company back ! [ sighs ] jack : might want to put some ice on that jaw . billy : jack , i do n't want to hear it right now . jack : then it is true . jill and cane conspired to take brash & sassy away from you . billy : look , i know , okay ? you told me not to take on all that debt . but i do n't want to hear your lecture right now . i just got one from victoria . jack : i 'll be honest with you . i was gon na give you hell . but you know what ? when i walked in here and heard you talking on the phone , you sounded like a man who is willing to fight for what he believes in . and , billy , that 's a man that i admire . so no lectures . how about a job offer ? come back and work at jabot . billy : jack , i know you mean well , but i ca n't accept your offer . jack : i 'm not just throwing you a bone , if that 's what you 're thinking . look , you and phyllis are a great team . now that she needs time away from me , it would be a great comfort for me in knowing that you are by her side , well , somebody i can count on . billy : well , if phyllis was standing here right now , she would say that she knows what 's best for herself . jack : [ scoffs ] wow . it 's like you were a fly on the wall . those were the exact words my wife used when i visited her at the club earlier . billy : it 's not that difficult . she values her independence . anybody that knows her knows that . besides , getting punched in the face is a wakeup call . victoria 's right . i lost my focus . now the only thing i want to do is fight to get my company back . guess you never know what you lost until it 's gone . jack : it 's a hard lesson to learn . i 'm learning it all over again with phyllis . god , it 's amazing . i always assumed i would spend the rest of my life with her . now she 's living at the club and ... billy : and what ? jack : remember that trip she took last month to montreal ? business trip ? she took the company jet ? turns out she never got on the plane . lily : thank you . cane : thank you . lily : wow . that 's a very girly drink for a manly man with a cut . cane : yeah , i 'm , uh , kind of afraid that the booze might sting my lip . lily : [ chuckles ] cane : do n't laugh at me . do n't think i 'm a wimp , so ... lily : no , you , my love , are a lot of things , but a wimp is not one of them . cane : that 's good to hear . lily : mm - hmm . so , i owe you an apology . cane : yeah ? lily : yeah . cane : what for ? lily : well , i should have realized that you needed more of a challenge . you know , i just expected you to support me as i fought with hilary over the club , but i did n't stop to think that maybe you need my support to go after your dreams . cane : so you do n't mind if i go back to chancellor ? lily : no , of course not , if it makes you happy . cane : you know what makes me happy ? you and the kids . 'cause i do all of this for you . lily : [ chuckles ] you know what ? this might sting a little bit . nick : for one fleeting moment , i thought i 'd finally gotten through to her . then she starts telling me i 'm the one who made her realize this is all about luca . victoria : well , she and i had it under control until you came back . nick : are you telling me i 'm the one who screwed this up ? victoria : i think i made that pretty clear , yes . nick : well , i do n't know what to do now . my only hope is that summer will wake up and realize that she 's got to kick this snake to the curb . victoria : she did it once before . let 's just have faith that she 'll do it again . nick : [ sighs ] i hope you 're right . victoria : you 're not the only one who had a frustrating day . i just came from billy 's . nick : now what ? victoria : guess who let the company that he snatched away from us slip through his fingers ? nick : billy lost the whole company ? victoria : more he had his pocket picked by his mother with a little help from cane . nick : so jill owns it now . victoria : well , i guess chancellor 's wanting to be a player in consumer products again . nick : man . dad being on the sidelines so long , when he comes back , he 's gon na be itching for a fight with jabot , chancellor . victoria : luca . nick : i just hope summer does n't get caught in the crossfire . [ knock on door ] luca : i did n't order anything . [ knock on door ] summer : luca , please do not do this . just get your stuff and come back to our place , okay ? please . luca : summer , it 's your place . it always has been . summer : we have been over this . you are not gon na come in between me and my family . luca : look , i know how much your family loves you . summer : okay , and i love you . i do not need newman enterprises . i can get another job , and so can you . we can have everything we have ever wanted if you will just stay here and fight for this , for the two of us . please . luca : look , you do n't realize what you 're saying . summer : yes , i do . of course i do . luca : look , summer , it 's one thing for me to defy your family . i have nothing to lose . but if you do this , you 'd be giving up everything for me . are you really prepared to do that ? summer : no , you have it all wrong . i am not giving up anything . i am getting the one thing i want most , and that is you . luca : look , someone has to think for the both of us . if and when victor comes back -- summer : he ca n't do anything . my family loves me , and i 'm still gon na have all the skills that i got from working at newman . unless you were just trying to flatter me by saying i was a natural at business . luca : no , i meant every word . you have loads of talent . summer : okay , then wherever we end up , i 'll learn on the job . i 'll make my own way no matter what my grandpa does or says to try and stop me . luca : but will you be happy ? summer : as long as i 'm with you , yes . victoria : whether dad comes back now or not , we need to stay strong . we need to defend the business . nick : against luca . victoria : or whoever else tries to target us . we 've survived two catastrophic oil spills , and we 're still standing , right ? so i say bring it on . as long as you and i are together , then no one can stop us . why are you -- [ chuckles ] do you think i 'm full of it ? nick : just the opposite . i think you 're exactly what this family needs . and if you 're up for the fight , so am i . ashley : you did what ? dr. neville : it 's the least i could do for you -- and hilary . so i ... i called the fda and then , what , confessed . i told them i was the one that altered the test results . i had to . i ca n't let you go down for something you did n't do . ashley : you did that for me ? barton : i have your latest test results . you 're healthy enough to be released . hilary : really ? barton : mm - hmm . dr. lindros will monitor your progress , and we 're hoping that you 'll continue to respond to treatments . devon : that 's fantastic news , dr. shelby . i really appreciate you taking a personal interest . barton : of course . i 'm just sorry i was n't able to intervene sooner . i 'll get this paperwork started so you can go home . hilary : thank you . thank you , doctor . [ door opens ] [ door closes ] hilary : so , um ... since they 're letting me go , i guess everything will go back to normal . devon : yeah , if by normal , you mean we 'll be back at each other 's throats . hilary : i wish it did n't have to be that way . devon : it does n't . it does n't at all . i want to take you home , back to our home at the penthouse . hilary : devon ... devon : unless you want to go back to your own room at the club , then i understand . hilary : can you do me a favor ? devon : i 'll do anything . hilary : can you stop being so damn understanding ? take me home . billy : how did she explain not taking the private jet ? jack : she flew commercial . i swear i could just kick myself . why did n't i just assume that ? i got so paranoid . i started thinking ... billy : thinking what ? jack : that maybe she never left town , that she was with some guy in a secret hideaway . you hear how crazy this all sounds ? with everything phyllis and i have been through , even if she was tempted , she would tell me . that 's who she is . that 's ... billy : if it was any other woman , i would say that there 's a reason to be worried . but not with phyllis . jack : really ? billy : she loves you , jack . whatever you two are going through , she would n't mean to hurt you . jack : thank you . i think i needed to hear that . billy : i want to be with you . and i know you want to be with me . you keep showing me that you do . so just say the words . it 's three simple words . phyllis : i love you . i love you . i love you . jack : i am not gon na let you walk out of my life again . phyllis : well , that could sound romantic , overbearing , and domineering . jack : you did n't fall in love with me 'cause i 'm a pushover . phyllis : maybe i 'm not in love with you at all . jack : except you are . you understand that no matter how tough things get , i 'm never gon na let you go again . phyllis : do i know that ? jack : yes , you do . i think deep down inside you are very confident in my love for you . that 's why you can walk out of here and come back and tell me you wo n't marry me -- because you know i will never give up on you . phyllis : swear it . jack : i do . phyllis : i do , too . jack : let 's put this back where it belongs . phyllis : [ sobbing ] [ next_on ] jack : i 'm with you no matter what . phyllis : even if i go to that courthouse and crucify victor ? victor : hopefully this time the outcome will be different . | phyllis told summer that she and jack were taking a break . nick told luca that victor would see summer differently if he found out she was seriously involved with luca . nick felt that if luca really loved summer , he should leave town rather than destroy her bond with victor . luca told summer what nick said , then he announced his plans to move back to madrid . to nick 's dismay , summer told nick she 'd give up her position at newman to be with luca . summer told luca her decision , and she convinced him to move back in with her . dr. shelby , devon and hilary rebuffed simon 's attempts to check on hilary . ashley unsuccessfully tried to convince hilary to give simon another chance . hilary had recovered enough to be released . hilary admitted she did n't want to fight with devon anymore . he asked to take her home with him , and she accepted . simon told ashley he 'd gone to the fda and said he was the one who altered the test results . ashley was grateful that he did that for her . | <s>[INST] nick : summer wants no part of you . or did n't she make her feelings very clear ? luca : we both did , after we each confessed what we 'd done . nick : confessed ? luca : i gave the press some inside information that made victoria look bad . once i told summer that , she admitted that she tried to set me up . that 's right . i told her i wanted a job at newman and was willing to do anything to get it -- anything but hurt her . like it or not , nick , i love your daughter . nick : well , if that 's the case , there 's only one way to prove it . luca : and what 's that ? nick : pack your bags and leave town . summer : you moved out ? mom , that makes no sense . you and jack , you guys are amazing together . phyllis : okay , nobody can understand what 's going on in a relationship except for the two people in it . things are n't always as they appear . summer : okay , so does that mean you 're not gon na try to give me all this advice and pretend to know what 's happening with me and luca ? phyllis : no . you can not compare your troubles with luca to me and jack taking a break , okay ? summer : you guys are married . taking a break -- what does that even mean ? phyllis : it means that i need time to think , honey . summer : about what ? what happened ? what did jack do ? phyllis : it 's nothing jack did . it 's what i did . jack : phyllis flew to canada that day for some business meetings , only it does n't show up in this monthly flight summary . could that be an oversight or maybe a last - minute change in the flight plans or -- she never got on the plane ? you 're sure ? okay . thanks , howard . ashley : hi . jack : hi . ashley : just checking on you . i hope you spoke to phyllis and took my advice . you got to keep the lines of communication open . what 's the matter ? jack : i think phyllis has been lying to me . devon : `` the pair were also spotted looking very cozy at the polo lounge , along with several members of the diva 's entourage . her jilted hubby responded by dumping her entire shoe collection into the pool of their bel air mansion . `` hilary : oh , no ! no , jimmy choos and chlorine ? no , that does not mix . devon : yeah . it says here he 's checking her out , along with the shoes . hilary : well , it serves her right for not appreciating the good man that she had . [ door opens ] [ knock on door ] dr. neville : i 'm sorry to interrupt . i just thought i would , uh , check on the patient . how are you feeling today , hilary ? devon : did n't ashley tell you that my wife is no longer your responsibility ? dr. neville : ashley told me what you said , devon . devon : good , good , because we 've brought in a new doctor , one who does n't experiment on his patients . dr. neville : i understand you do n't want me to continue with hilary 's treatment . there 's only one problem . what happens if it 's our only chance to save her ? hilary : to kill me , you mean ? because i am not giving you another chance to finish me off . cane : shhh . lily : [ chuckles ] hey . cane : hey . lily : [ sighs ] do n't you wish we could just stay like this forever ? cane : yeah . why ca n't we ? lily : you know why . cane : oh , that 's right , 'cause you 're worried in hilary 's settlement , she 'll get the club and fire you . lily : yeah , i 'm sure she 's counting the days until she can make it happen . i heard her on the phone with moving companies . cane : well , did n't devon have a plan to stop the divorce ? lily : i guess he ca n't change her mind , so what hilary wants hilary gets . cane : okay , but she 's been sick and devon 's been spending all his time , you know , by her bed in the hospital , so maybe she has a change of heart . think of it that way . lily : you are such a romantic . but in the real world ... cane : oh , in the real world , i have a job that i have to go and do . and when i come back ... i 'm gon na have a surprise for you . lily : [ gasps ] cane : [ gasps ] lily : a good one , i hope . cane : oh , a great one , and you are gon na love it . lily : okay , i could use some good news right now . cane : let me go and renovate this house . lily : you 're gon na make me wait ? really ? cane : yeah . you know why ? 'cause i like to keep you in suspense . lily : yeah , fine , fine . i 'm glad that you 're helping jill renovate katherine 's house . i really hope that billy appreciates it . cane : yeah . i love you . billy : this has got to be a mistake , vick . i - i - i did n't sell brash & sassy , okay ? this has got to be some sort of rumor or something . victoria : these guys are never wrong . do n't make it worse by lying , okay ? you -- obviously you cut your losses and you dropped it like a hot rock ! a brand that means more to me than anything in the world ! billy : i know how much this brand means to you , and i did n't sell it , okay ? ! if -- if this is true , this is a hostile takeover ! and i know exactly who is behind it . victoria : okay , do n't try to blame someone else . you took your eye off the ball . it 's too late to do something about it . billy : do n't say that . vick , do n't say that . luca : i thought you learned by now that you ca n't control summer . if she decides to forgive me , she wo n't let anyone keep us apart , not even you . nick : if summer is n't a means to an end , if you truly do care about her , then you need to do what 's best for her . because , luca , when you go down -- and you will go down -- you 're gon na drag her down with you . luca : i did n't think making threats was your style . nick : it 's more my dad 's . he always makes good on it . luca : victor 's in prison . nick : for now . but his hearing to appeal his sentence is tomorrow , and when he gets out , he 's not gon na like hearing that you 've been shacking up with his granddaughter or how hard you 've been working to undermine victoria . luca : i 'll take my chances . nick : then you are a fool . nick : why do n't you ask billy abbott how that logic works out ? luca : this is a very different situation of what he had with victoria . nick : no , actually , it 's not . see , my dad does n't trust you . he never has . when he gets out and he finds out how deep summer 's gotten , he 's gon na question her judgment , maybe even lose some respect for her . luca , is that how you 're gon na prove to summer that you care about her ? by destroying her relationship with her grandfather ? summer : what was so bad that you had to move out instead of staying and sorting things out with jack ? phyllis : it 's complicated . summer : okay , you realize i 'm not a kid anymore , right ? phyllis : [ chuckles ] no , you are definitely not a kid anymore . look , things have been strained between jack and me for a while , okay ? summer : okay , is it because pass key ? because i know jack was against you and billy trying to buy it out from under grandpa . phyllis : it was more than that . it had a lot to do with victor . summer : okay , and jack wanted you to drop it . phyllis : yeah . honey , look , i know that you love your grandfather and you are gon na support him at that hearing . but i can not forget what happened . that is too much to expect from me . summer : okay , so then tell jack that . phyllis : i did . and he seems to understand , which makes this all very difficult , because if he was being insensitive or intolerant , that would be one thing . but he is not . he is being good , true , and wonderful jack . summer : okay , so what 's wrong with that ? phyllis : nothing . but , you know , even when two people love each other , sometimes it is n't enough . not if they want different things . jack : the pilot said phyllis never even ordered the jet that day . what am i supposed to do with that ? track down these foreign investors and see if she showed up at their meeting ? i mean , assuming they do exist . what 's that say about pass key , much less my marriage ? ashley : what exactly are you suggesting , jackie ? that phyllis invented this trip so she could rob a bank or she 's covering up some torrid affair ? i 'm joking . jack : i 'm not . victoria : i 'm not interested in your bogus story about some kind of hostile takeover , billy . billy : even if it 's true , vick ? victoria : tomorrow 's a big day for my family . we 're going before a judge and speaking up for my father so we can try to bring him home . i 'm sure you 'd prefer to see him rot in jail , right ? maybe that 's what this is about . maybe you 're just taking your anger out on me . is that what you 're doing ? if that 's the case , i feel really sorry for you , billy . billy : vick . victoria : [ scoffs ] cane : hey . victoria : hi . cane : hey . oh , it 's good , man . looks like you got some samples on the wall . so things are moving along , huh ? billy : yeah , they are . you 've been busy , have n't you , cane ? not only are you overseeing the renovation , but you had enough time to steal my company out from under me . you son of a bitch . victoria : oh ! cane : [ laughs ] summer : what is wrong with this picture ? me giving you relationship advice ? phyllis : you are wiser than you think , my dear one . summer : yeah , i do not feel it , especially after that talk i just had with luca . phyllis : so it did n't go well ? summer : i mean , at least we got all of our issues out on the table . but here you are saying all this vague stuff about how you and jack want different things , whatever the hell that means . phyllis : you 're so beautiful . you 're 21 years old , and you 're more grounded than i am . and i do n't know when that happened . and i hope i can learn from you before it 's too late . summer : mom ? mom , wait . [ sighs ] luca : something changed along the way . the feelings i pretended to have for you to gain your trust , they became real . look , i know this explanation is n't an apology . i - i wanted to apologize , but no matter how many times or how many ways i could say that , it would n't change anything . summer : no , it would not . luca : i have to show you . i 'm determined to make you see how sorry i am , because i ca n't bear to lose the best thing that 's ever happened to me . i do n't know how to be any more honest than what i 've been with you here today . summer : luca , i ... luca : look , do n't say it now , okay ? take some time . take some time . just sort it all out . summer : what will you be doing ? luca : hoping you can forgive me , even if i do n't deserve it . luca : we need to talk . summer : look , i heard what you had to say , but i need more time to think about it , luca . luca : no , i 've thought about it for the both of us . you 're a newman entitled to your birthright . that 's why i 've come to say goodbye . dr. neville : devon , please . devon : neville , listen , get out of here before i call security . dr. neville : hilary , you 've got to understand . i would never intentionally do anything to harm you . ever since the day you first came under my care , you were unconscious at the time . all i 've done is try to restore your health . hilary : health ? well , do i look healthy to you ? [ scoffs ] this is what your medical miracle -- this is what it did to me ! devon : baby , calm down . hilary : i 'm -- dr. neville : you are having a negative reaction to the medication . that 's all . and it makes sense . i mean , we 're in the experimental phase . if i adjust the protocol , you 'll be -- devon : neville , there is no more adjustments , no more treating my wife like a guinea pig . the fda suspended your trial . do you know what that means ? you 're done . barton : do n't worry . dr. neville wo n't be treating hilary or any other patient , at least not here . in case you 've forgotten , simon , you do n't have any privileges at this hospital . dr. neville : dr. shelby -- barton : if you do n't walk out of that door now , i will throw you out . [ door closes ] billy : admit it , cane . admit it . you stole the company that she created . cane : no one stole anything , billy . this is business . victoria : it 's a hell of a lot more than that to me . cane : if you want to blame somebody , blame him 'cause he 's negligent -- as usual . you took on too much debt , and you left the company ripe for the picking , 'cause that 's what you did . victoria : is that true ? billy : to build the brand , to move into emerging markets , you need capital to do that . cane : but you did n't have the financing , did you ? so you overextended yourself and you took out too many loans . billy : and you swooped in and stole the debt , did n't you ? cane : billy , what do you want me to say to you , okay ? i saw an opportunity to consolidate your debt , and i took it . 'cause you know what the problem is with you ? you are a gambler . but when you gamble , you like to lose . billy : you insufferable -- victoria : oh , no . wait a second . hold on . look , you may have the ego to pull off a stunt like this , but i created brash & sassy , and i 'm the only one that knows how to run it . billy : oh , no . cane 's not gon na be running anything , because he 's a little errand boy . he 's gon na be overseeing the takeover , just like he was overseeing the renovation for mommy , right ? 'cause you 're a little mommy 's boy . that 's who you did this for , right ? you bought the company for chancellor , did n't you ? cane : who knows a son 's weakness better than his own mother ? and do n't look so surprised . this is not the first time she 's replaced you with me , so ... it looks like you 're out and i 'm in . i like the yellow . victoria : oh , no . no . just let it go . let it go ! billy : are you kidding me ? let it go ? after what he just did ? victoria : cane 's right . there 's nobody to blame here but you . ashley : jack , i know you 're upset , but for you to think that phyllis is actually being unfaithful to you , i just do n't see it . jack : you know what ? you 're absolutely right . i - i do n't know what i -- [ sighs ] i love my wife . i trust her implicitly . ashley : i know you do . it 's a confusing time . you 're letting your imagination get the best of you , jackie . jack : you think i like being suspicious ? i hate it . ash , she moved out for a reason . she said she 's unhappy . and i do n't think it 's a giant leap to think i may be part of that unhappiness . maybe she 's looking elsewhere , looking for someone else -- ashley : okay , could you not do this to yourself ? whatever she 's going through , let her work through it . just be patient . and do n't bring this up to phyllis . [ footsteps approach ] phyllis : do n't bring what up phyllis : is there a problem ? ashley : no , i was just talking to jack about the classic line -- jack : uh , uh , ash , i can -- i can take care of it . thanks . ashley : okay . jack : do n't you have a meeting you have to get to ? ashley : yes , thank you . okay , bye . phyllis : well , she 's never been a very good liar . this is n't about focus groups , is it ? jack : no , it 's not . phyllis : okay . well , now you 're worrying me . how bad could it be ? jack : i 'm hoping it 's nothing at all . phyllis : so talk to me . jack : my assistant asked me to sign a , uh , a flight log for the corporate jet . there was a flight missing -- the one you were supposed to have taken to montreal . i was confused , so i talked to ashley about it . phyllis : because you thought i lied to you about it . jack : i do n't know what to think anymore . ever since you left , nothing makes sense . i try to give you space , i try to give you understanding , but somehow it still feels like you 're not telling me something . now this happens . phyllis : nothing happened . jack : then why did the pilot tell me you never stepped on the plane ? phyllis : because i did n't . i flew commercial . and we 're not exactly swimming in cash these days , and i did not want to waste the money or the fuel taking the jet all by myself . jack : i 'm sorry . i ... i do n't know why i - i went there . can you please forgive my doubting you ? phyllis : it 's just -- it 's clear that we ca n't have a relationship 'cause we do n't have trust . jack : no , i can trust y -- i trust you . can you trust me to tell me why we are apart ? phyllis : what i need to do is focus on work . i am clear i need to do that . jack : phyllis , all i 'm ask -- phyllis : jack , please just -- please . jack : fine . i have a meeting to get to . summer : goodbye ? luca : i 'm leaving town . it 's best for both of us . summer : no , you ca n't . you ca n't just leave , not if there 's a chance for us to work things out . luca : there is n't . i wo n't be the one responsible for your grandfather turning against you . summer : what are you talking about ? luca : if victor 's sentence gets overturned and he gets out of prison and discovers that you and i are living together ... summer : luca , there is nothing to worry about , okay ? he loves me . luca : yeah , but that wo n't stop him from denying you what is rightfully yours because of your association with me . it 's like nick says . summer : wait , is this all coming from my dad ? luca : he 's right , summer . you 're a newman just starting to carve out your place in the family business . but as long as you 're with me , all your choices , all your decisions , they 'll be suspect . victor will never trust you . and i love you too much to let that happen . summer : luca -- luca : no , look , i 'm gon na pack my things , and i 'm gon na take a suite at the club until i can make arrangements to go back to madrid . summer : luca , no . luca , no ! please , you ca n't end it like this , luca ! no ! luca ! no . nick : hey . let him go . let him go . lily : hey . what happened ? was there an accident at jill 's ? cane : uh , you might say that . i , uh , i walked into a fist . lily : whose ? cane : billy 's . lily : what ? why ? cane : well , uh ... 'cause he 's kind of furious i 'm working for jill and he has the emotional impulse control of a toddler . lily : wait , jill asked you to supervise . why would billy resent that ? cane : well ... actually , the whole thing was a cover so i could buy up his debt and chancellor can acquire brash & sassy . so he did n't like it and -- pop ! -- sucker - punched me . so , uh , surprise ! i 'm heading up the new line at chancellor . okay . are you -- are you happy for me ? billy : you 're blaming me for this ? victoria : you made it possible for jill and cane to do this . if you had n't been so distracted by so many other things and focused on my brand that you took from me ! billy : how many times do i have to tell you that i bought brash & sassy to stop your father from selling it to a stranger ? victoria : now it belongs to jill ! your mother ! and -- and i just want to know why ! i can understand her taking this house back from you , but why would jill make a play for my company ? billy : i have no idea , but i 'm gon na call her and get some answers . victoria : no , i do n't want her excuses ! i do n't want to hear your excuses ! you can both go to hell for all i care ! billy : vick , wait . vick . mother , you always talk about how much this beloved house means to you . if you do n't call me back , i swear to god i 'm gon na burn it to the ground . lily : you 're gon na be running a major division for chancellor ? how do you think i feel ? i - i think this is amazing . why did n't you tell me ? cane : well , i did n't want to get our hopes up till jill gave me the job . i had a chance to close up the deal . lily : yeah , i 'm sure you jumped at it . cane : oh , my god . i did . i ca n't wait to start . i have so many ideas for this marketing line . lily : oh , i love seeing you like this . i just wish you had told me sooner . cane : well , i 'm telling you now . oh ! i have n't told lauren . i feel alive . i feel fantastic . you know , i have n't felt this good in years . i even feel great that billy punched me and i had a chance to punch him back . [ both laugh ] jack : you and billy hit each other ? cane : all right , listen , all right ? i won this deal fair and square , okay , even though billy does n't see it that way . so , jack , if you have a problem , you want to take a swing at me , go ahead . go . lily : no , no , no , no , no . no one 's hitting anyone . jack : not to worry . if i 'm gon na knock some sense into anybody , it 's gon na be my brother . ashley : neville . what are you doing out here when your patient 's in there ? dr. neville : i just keep going over and over hilary 's labs trying to figure out why she 's not responding well to the treatment . if i 'm lucky , i can help her new doctor find a solution . ashley : wait , wait , wait . you ca n't just give up . hilary 's counting on you for a cure . dr. neville : well , i - i do n't have an option . dr. shelby takes great delight in reminding me i no longer have privileges here at memorial . he 's not gon na let me anywhere near hilary , much less any other patient . ashley : her life is in the balance . you know that . you ca n't just back down . dr. neville : i 'm telling you , i do n't have a choice . shelby 's in there . i 'm out here . i do n't know . maybe as administrator , he feels it 's his job to look out for the interests of the hospital . ashley : neville , it 's your job to save lives . dr. neville : not anymore , ashley . not here . barton : i 've spoken with dr. lindros . [ door opens ] with proper care and a more traditional approach , i 'm hopeful that he 'll be able to treat -- ashley : is that in case something happens to hilary and this place wo n't be liable ? is that what you 're saying ? barton : this does n't concern you , ashley . ashley : i have something to say , and i 'm not leaving until i say it . hilary , dr. simon neville pulled you out of a coma . and if he had n't continued to treat you , you would n't be here right now well enough to apparently forget everything he 's done for you . barton : that 'll be enough . ashley : i 'm not finished . i 'm standing here today because of dr. neville . he saved my life , too . if anything , this place should be doing everything it can to support him and his work . barton : i 'm not going to let you upset this patient . now , by allowing you to defraud the fda , simon not only jeopardized his reputation , but he put every patient in his trial at risk . surely you know that . devon : she used to . ashley : he 's not perfect . i 'm not perfect . are you perfect , hilary ? devon : you 're out of line right now , okay ? ashley : i 'm trying to make a point . i was afraid just like you . i was terrified . i thought i was dying . but i did n't die because of dr. simon neville , hilary . are you really gon na punish him ? all that man is doing is trying to do everything he can to find a cure for you ! devon : ashley , i really think it 'd be best if you left right now . ashley : fine . summer : i thought you trusted me to handle things with luca , but instead you go behind my back and tell him to leave town ? nick : of course i trust you . summer : yeah , well , you have a funny way of showing it . nick : look , i 'm not gon na apologize for asking him to do the honorable thing . but him playing on your feelings like this , it just proves once again that luca is only out for himself . summer : not only was he trying to live up to your standards , but he also admitted to tipping off the reporter to make victoria look bad . nick : so he knew you were going to accuse him . he owns up to it first . it 's a smart play . summer : [ scoffs ] you have an answer for everything , do n't you ? nick : surely you understand he was just using you to get into the company . summer : luca has never denied the fact that he would love to work for newman . but he loves me more , and now he is willing to walk away from it all , and so am i . nick : and what does that mean ? summer : that i do n't need grandpa 's approval or yours . luca loves me , and that 's enough . so thank you for making that clear to me . nick : summer . summer ! [ sighs ] billy : no , no , no . do n't tell me that i do n't have any recourse . everybody has a price , including my mother . i do n't care what you do . just make a counter offer ! threaten to sue ! do whatever you need to do ! just get my company back ! [ sighs ] jack : might want to put some ice on that jaw . billy : jack , i do n't want to hear it right now . jack : then it is true . jill and cane conspired to take brash & sassy away from you . billy : look , i know , okay ? you told me not to take on all that debt . but i do n't want to hear your lecture right now . i just got one from victoria . jack : i 'll be honest with you . i was gon na give you hell . but you know what ? when i walked in here and heard you talking on the phone , you sounded like a man who is willing to fight for what he believes in . and , billy , that 's a man that i admire . so no lectures . how about a job offer ? come back and work at jabot . billy : jack , i know you mean well , but i ca n't accept your offer . jack : i 'm not just throwing you a bone , if that 's what you 're thinking . look , you and phyllis are a great team . now that she needs time away from me , it would be a great comfort for me in knowing that you are by her side , well , somebody i can count on . billy : well , if phyllis was standing here right now , she would say that she knows what 's best for herself . jack : [ scoffs ] wow . it 's like you were a fly on the wall . those were the exact words my wife used when i visited her at the club earlier . billy : it 's not that difficult . she values her independence . anybody that knows her knows that . besides , getting punched in the face is a wakeup call . victoria 's right . i lost my focus . now the only thing i want to do is fight to get my company back . guess you never know what you lost until it 's gone . jack : it 's a hard lesson to learn . i 'm learning it all over again with phyllis . god , it 's amazing . i always assumed i would spend the rest of my life with her . now she 's living at the club and ... billy : and what ? jack : remember that trip she took last month to montreal ? business trip ? she took the company jet ? turns out she never got on the plane . lily : thank you . cane : thank you . lily : wow . that 's a very girly drink for a manly man with a cut . cane : yeah , i 'm , uh , kind of afraid that the booze might sting my lip . lily : [ chuckles ] cane : do n't laugh at me . do n't think i 'm a wimp , so ... lily : no , you , my love , are a lot of things , but a wimp is not one of them . cane : that 's good to hear . lily : mm - hmm . so , i owe you an apology . cane : yeah ? lily : yeah . cane : what for ? lily : well , i should have realized that you needed more of a challenge . you know , i just expected you to support me as i fought with hilary over the club , but i did n't stop to think that maybe you need my support to go after your dreams . cane : so you do n't mind if i go back to chancellor ? lily : no , of course not , if it makes you happy . cane : you know what makes me happy ? you and the kids . 'cause i do all of this for you . lily : [ chuckles ] you know what ? this might sting a little bit . nick : for one fleeting moment , i thought i 'd finally gotten through to her . then she starts telling me i 'm the one who made her realize this is all about luca . victoria : well , she and i had it under control until you came back . nick : are you telling me i 'm the one who screwed this up ? victoria : i think i made that pretty clear , yes . nick : well , i do n't know what to do now . my only hope is that summer will wake up and realize that she 's got to kick this snake to the curb . victoria : she did it once before . let 's just have faith that she 'll do it again . nick : [ sighs ] i hope you 're right . victoria : you 're not the only one who had a frustrating day . i just came from billy 's . nick : now what ? victoria : guess who let the company that he snatched away from us slip through his fingers ? nick : billy lost the whole company ? victoria : more he had his pocket picked by his mother with a little help from cane . nick : so jill owns it now . victoria : well , i guess chancellor 's wanting to be a player in consumer products again . nick : man . dad being on the sidelines so long , when he comes back , he 's gon na be itching for a fight with jabot , chancellor . victoria : luca . nick : i just hope summer does n't get caught in the crossfire . [ knock on door ] luca : i did n't order anything . [ knock on door ] summer : luca , please do not do this . just get your stuff and come back to our place , okay ? please . luca : summer , it 's your place . it always has been . summer : we have been over this . you are not gon na come in between me and my family . luca : look , i know how much your family loves you . summer : okay , and i love you . i do not need newman enterprises . i can get another job , and so can you . we can have everything we have ever wanted if you will just stay here and fight for this , for the two of us . please . luca : look , you do n't realize what you 're saying . summer : yes , i do . of course i do . luca : look , summer , it 's one thing for me to defy your family . i have nothing to lose . but if you do this , you 'd be giving up everything for me . are you really prepared to do that ? summer : no , you have it all wrong . i am not giving up anything . i am getting the one thing i want most , and that is you . luca : look , someone has to think for the both of us . if and when victor comes back -- summer : he ca n't do anything . my family loves me , and i 'm still gon na have all the skills that i got from working at newman . unless you were just trying to flatter me by saying i was a natural at business . luca : no , i meant every word . you have loads of talent . summer : okay , then wherever we end up , i 'll learn on the job . i 'll make my own way no matter what my grandpa does or says to try and stop me . luca : but will you be happy ? summer : as long as i 'm with you , yes . victoria : whether dad comes back now or not , we need to stay strong . we need to defend the business . nick : against luca . victoria : or whoever else tries to target us . we 've survived two catastrophic oil spills , and we 're still standing , right ? so i say bring it on . as long as you and i are together , then no one can stop us . why are you -- [ chuckles ] do you think i 'm full of it ? nick : just the opposite . i think you 're exactly what this family needs . and if you 're up for the fight , so am i . ashley : you did what ? dr. neville : it 's the least i could do for you -- and hilary . so i ... i called the fda and then , what , confessed . i told them i was the one that altered the test results . i had to . i ca n't let you go down for something you did n't do . ashley : you did that for me ? barton : i have your latest test results . you 're healthy enough to be released . hilary : really ? barton : mm - hmm . dr. lindros will monitor your progress , and we 're hoping that you 'll continue to respond to treatments . devon : that 's fantastic news , dr. shelby . i really appreciate you taking a personal interest . barton : of course . i 'm just sorry i was n't able to intervene sooner . i 'll get this paperwork started so you can go home . hilary : thank you . thank you , doctor . [ door opens ] [ door closes ] hilary : so , um ... since they 're letting me go , i guess everything will go back to normal . devon : yeah , if by normal , you mean we 'll be back at each other 's throats . hilary : i wish it did n't have to be that way . devon : it does n't . it does n't at all . i want to take you home , back to our home at the penthouse . hilary : devon ... devon : unless you want to go back to your own room at the club , then i understand . hilary : can you do me a favor ? devon : i 'll do anything . hilary : can you stop being so damn understanding ? take me home . billy : how did she explain not taking the private jet ? jack : she flew commercial . i swear i could just kick myself . why did n't i just assume that ? i got so paranoid . i started thinking ... billy : thinking what ? jack : that maybe she never left town , that she was with some guy in a secret hideaway . you hear how crazy this all sounds ? with everything phyllis and i have been through , even if she was tempted , she would tell me . that 's who she is . that 's ... billy : if it was any other woman , i would say that there 's a reason to be worried . but not with phyllis . jack : really ? billy : she loves you , jack . whatever you two are going through , she would n't mean to hurt you . jack : thank you . i think i needed to hear that . billy : i want to be with you . and i know you want to be with me . you keep showing me that you do . so just say the words . it 's three simple words . phyllis : i love you . i love you . i love you . jack : i am not gon na let you walk out of my life again . phyllis : well , that could sound romantic , overbearing , and domineering . jack : you did n't fall in love with me 'cause i 'm a pushover . phyllis : maybe i 'm not in love with you at all . jack : except you are . you understand that no matter how tough things get , i 'm never gon na let you go again . phyllis : do i know that ? jack : yes , you do . i think deep down inside you are very confident in my love for you . that 's why you can walk out of here and come back and tell me you wo n't marry me -- because you know i will never give up on you . phyllis : swear it . jack : i do . phyllis : i do , too . jack : let 's put this back where it belongs . phyllis : [ sobbing ] [ next_on ] jack : i 'm with you no matter what . phyllis : even if i go to that courthouse and crucify victor ? victor : hopefully this time the outcome will be different .Summarize.[/INST]phyllis told summer that she and jack were taking a break . nick told luca that victor would see summer differently if he found out she was seriously involved with luca . nick felt that if luca really loved summer , he should leave town rather than destroy her bond with victor . luca told summer what nick said , then he announced his plans to move back to madrid . to nick 's dismay , summer told nick she 'd give up her position at newman to be with luca . summer told luca her decision , and she convinced him to move back in with her . dr. shelby , devon and hilary rebuffed simon 's attempts to check on hilary . ashley unsuccessfully tried to convince hilary to give simon another chance . hilary had recovered enough to be released . hilary admitted she did n't want to fight with devon anymore . he asked to take her home with him , and she accepted . simon told ashley he 'd gone to the fda and said he was the one who altered the test results . ashley was grateful that he did that for her .</s> | 17,629 |

adam : jack , i convinced my father to take up his differences with you in court . now , he loved the idea of having the law on his side . he loved the idea of watching jabot suffer tremendous financial loss and public humiliation . jack : i 'm sure he did . adam : here 's what he did n't know . i built in an exit strategy for you . chelsea : and what was that ? adam : it 's very simple . you cut billy loose . you let him take the fall . chelsea : what are you saying ? adam : it 's not like that , sweetheart . it 's just business . chelsea : it 's -- it 's wrong . all of it . after everything jack 's done for you , you would advise victor to sue his family for everything they have ? adam : hold on a second . this is much better than letting my father use santori money to go after the abbotts . jack , he 's gon na blindside you guys . you wo n't even see it coming . you know that , right ? chelsea : so you 're expecting jack to dodge a lawsuit by blaming billy for paragon ? adam : blaming ? billy did it . he 's guilty , sweetheart . he reignited paragon . jack , this is a good idea , man . jack : okay , i want you to listen to me very closely , because i want you to quote me verbatim when you report back to your father . i am not going to run and hide while victor wages war on my brother . adam : then you 're all gon na lose . billy : so you agree that the best course of action is to hang me out to dry ? phyllis : well , i think when you 're right , you 're right . it 's in everybody 's best interest to let you take the fall for using paragon to siphon off the newman entities . billy : it would appease the mustache and keep jabot solvent . phyllis : but what would it do to you ? billy : oh , i do n't need to be connected to the family business to be happy . you know , i can start another magazine , buy a bar , win a restaurant in a poker game . phyllis : only one problem with that . billy : what 's that ? my businesses never last ? phyllis : jack would never do that to you . billy : well , i would n't give him a choice . it 's the smart move . phyllis : jack would never sacrifice his brother to avoid a fight with victor . my husband just is n't that kind of person . ashley : i 'm glad you could come by . victor : how could i possibly have stayed away ? your summons was quite interesting . ashley : but not unexpected , i 'm sure . victor : that remains to be seen . what would you like to discuss ? ashley : let 's make a deal . kevin : marisa 's daughter is enrolled in a super - exclusive school in majorca . noah : that 's not possible . kevin : i checked . i double - checked . her classmates are the children of diplomats and celebrities . mariah : ka - ching , ka - ching . kevin : yeah , is n't she supposed to be with some poor family living a life of hard knocks ?

if billy was n't solely responsible , then -- adam : billy was solely responsible for getting phyllis involved . jack : phyllis was a very willing participant . but i am sure that billy drove this whole thing , yes . adam : okay , and you 're not the least bit angry ? you 're not upset just a little bit ? jack : oh , i 'm angry . i almost put a fist through my brother 's face . but i am not turning him over to victor newman ! adam : why do n't you consider the rest of your family members ? why do n't you do that ? something billy did n't do when he reignited paragon , went after newman . jack : no , maybe he was just thinking about his daughter . adam : yeah . chelsea : that 's not fair , jack . adam : it 's true , you know , right ? everything always comes back to delia for him . everything . jack : you know what billy went through . you know what he lost . how can you ask me to betray my brother to save my company ? adam : i 'm trying to protect you , jack . this is a huge breach of trust on my part , too . do you have any idea what my father would do if he found out i was -- jack : why are you telling me ? adam : because i know the way his brain works ! he 's gon na see this lawsuit as him getting his pound of flesh , and it 'll be over ! you stand in his way , you know what he 's gon na do ? he 's gon na come after jabot ! he 's not gon na stop until it 's bankrupt ! and then he 's gon na go after you ! he 's gon na go after your entire family ! you think i 'm just talking financial here ? he 's gon na destroy every single one of you . you know what i 'm talking about , do n't you ? jack : you bet i know . adam : jack . ashley 's name 's on the door -- c.e.o . i do n't care . you know this lands in your lap , right ? it is your job to protect your company . it 's your job to protect your family . jack : and that 's exactly what i 'm gon na do , adam . adam : good . jack : 'cause this is how my mind works . my father built jabot ... so that his children would have a professional home , a place , a legacy . i am going to preserve that legacy ... for every one of john abbott 's children . adam : ca n't talk to that man . i mean , i ca n't talk to him . [ chuckles ] chelsea : do you really hate billy that much ? that you would actually try to turn his own brother against him ? victor : well , i 'm glad to hear that one of the abbotts has some business savvy . what are you willing to offer ? ashley : you realize that the only thing i should be offering you is an escort out of the building , because jack told me everything . about marco . what you did . what you inflicted on jack and phyllis . i mean , you know what ? you should actually be behind bars right now . victor : really ? ashley : absolutely . i mean , how can you possibly defend what you did ? victor : i wonder how your good friend stitch would react to what you 're saying now . ashley : i 'm not following . victor : you are n't ? ashley : do you have something to say to me ? please just say it . victor : i wonder how he would feel if he learned that jack was responsible for his sister kelly 's death . ashley : what ? victor : i guess jack failed to tell you that , did n't he ? i 'm sure he also did n't tell you about that boat explosion that killed a lot of people . ashley : a boat explosion ? victor : yes . the explosion of a cargo ship . he and marisa were on that ship . a lot of sailors -- fathers and sons -- innocent people who died in that explosion . ashley : no , jack would never do something like that . victor : yes , he would , and he did . your brother has a lot of blood on his hands . and i 'm sure you would n't want him to be held accountable for that , now , would you ? so , shall we talk business ? marisa : she 's so cute and -- and polite and smart . [ door closes ] marisa : the way she spoke . did you hear she asked my name ? the light in her eyes . luca : your eyes . she 's gon na be a heartbreaker . [ chuckles ] marisa : she is . she 's ...

[ sighs ] mariah : what 'd she say ? noah : i do n't know . the call dropped or she hung up . she was with luca . hey , kevin ? i need one more favor from you . kevin : dirt on luca 's family . hmm . noah : what 's wrong ? kevin : i 'm hitting some walls . noah : well , just find me whatever you can find , kevin . please hurry . mariah : what is this going to accomplish ? noah : i just want to know who i 'm dealing with . mariah : what are you gon na do with the information once you get it ? i mean , so what if he has a bad credit score or his real name is irving . kevin : holy shiitake . noah : what 's up ? what did you find ? kevin : luca 's family has been the target of multiple investigations into illegal activities . noah : what kind of illegal activities ? kevin : uh , market manipulation , political payoffs . mariah : well , that 's not exactly `` holy shiitake `` worthy . kevin : how about illegal arms dealing ? noah : whoa . mariah : seriously ? kevin : yeah , the santoris are involved in some serious black - market stuff . noah : what -- what about luca ? is luca 's name on there ? has he been convicted of anything ? kevin : authorities could n't make charges against any of these guys stick . mariah : maybe they 're innocent . kevin : witnesses recanted . others went missing . mariah : oh , my god . that 's scary . kevin : some judges and prosecutors felt the same way . several cases were withdrawn when prosecuting officials had a sudden change of heart . noah : wow . kevin , can -- can you send this to my phone ? kevin : sure . but are you sure ? mariah : noah , these are not people that you want to mess with . adam : i 'm doing everything i can to protect jack . i 'm trying everything i can to try to bring this to some sort of bloodless , peaceful resolution . chelsea : while making billy the scapegoat . adam : no , no , no , it 's not like that . chelsea : i heard you . you think billy is dispensable in all of this . i just do n't understand . why ? are you still harboring some resentment towards him ? adam : no , of course not . chelsea : are you sure ? you know , when you were watching him play father to connor , that did n't bother you ? adam : of course that bothered me . do n't be ridiculous . chelsea : so then why are you denying it ? adam : because any resentment or jealousy i feel toward billy is trumped by guilt . i 'm responsible for him losing his little girl . chelsea : [ sighs ] adam : it 's not personal . chelsea : babe , it 's personal to me . i lived with him . i - i almost married him . adam : you know , we do n't need to rehash the whole -- chelsea : we were close in the same way , you know , you and sage were close . adam : okay , look , that 's completely different . chelsea : why ? because she insists she was n't really in love for you ? adam : yeah , for one . yeah . chelsea : but you were more than friends . i mean , you and sage -- you shared something significant . adam : yeah . chelsea : so then how would you feel if i just cavalierly threw sage to the wolves ? adam : billy brought this on himself . chelsea : that 's not even remotely true . you know what he 's been through with victor through the years . billy is not the bad guy here . your father is . adam : sweetheart , you think i do n't know that ? chelsea : so then why do you want to be a part of all this ? adam : i do n't have a choice ! chelsea : you do have a choice ! walk away ! do n't help victor anymore ! you 're out of prison now , adam . he ca n't hurt you . ashley : ultimately , you 're to blame for everything that 's happened . but i am prepared to make you an offer of $ 25 million . victor : [ chuckles ] $ 25 million ? you 're wasting my time , my dear . ashley : $ 50 million . i do n't want to see another brother be hurt by you . victor : why are you so protective of that useless brother of yours ? billy boy abbott brought all this down on you . ashley : our daughter 's getting married , victor , okay ? and i do n't want her wedding to be marred by you and i going at each other 's throats . victor : nor do i . but as long as you hold me responsible ... ashley : okay , there 's enough blame to go around ! $ 50 million to make this go away ! victor : you add a zero to that , then we can talk , okay ? ashley : $ 500 million ? victor : bye - bye . [ clatter ] phyllis : jack may have wanted to sock you in the jaw just now , but he loves you , billy , unconditionally . billy : i got to give it to my brother . he is loyal . phyllis : yep . and he knows how to channel his emotions , unlike some of us , which is a good thing for you and me and our entire family . billy : oh , yes . i 'm well aware of his amazing qualities . they 've been held up as the gold standard my entire life . but the guy is not without his shortcomings . phyllis : none that i 've noticed . billy : [ groans ] you know exactly what i 'm talking about , phyllis . [ sighs ] the guy feels like he can coexist peacefully with victor , and we all know that that is not possible , not after everything he 's done . phyllis : which is why i went along with you , billy , with this whole paragon stunt . but now that victor is on to us -- billy : now that he is on to us , why the hell would we appease him ? no matter what we offer victor , he 's -- he 's going to insist that he is the last one standing , and jack 's magic powers , this voice of reason , is going to be worthless against the almighty newman . you know that 's true . there is only one way that we survive this . adam : i 'm committed to going down this road with my father . it 's not worth talking about . there 's no going back . chelsea : okay , but -- adam : to be honest with you , i 'm glad i 'm in this position . chelsea : really ? adam : yeah . really . i 'm my dad 's right - hand man . i can keep an eye on him , and i can keep jack safe . it 's perfect . chelsea : hmm . okay , well , um , you did n't answer my question before . adam : i did n't answer your question about what ? chelsea : sage . how would you feel if i was making her a target for your father the way you 're making billy ? adam : it 's not about that . chelsea : well , then explain it to me , adam . what ? what is it that i 'm not getting ? adam : sweetheart , i 'm doing billy a favor . ashley : i met with victor today . billy : why would you do that ? ashley : i made him an offer to keep him from pursuing a lawsuit . jack : how much is he asking ? ashley : half a billion dollars . billy : [ scoffs ] half a billion ? well , that 's -- that 's a bargain . ashley : it 's no joke , billy . billy : well , it ought to be . we ca n't afford that . look , we 're not making a deal with victor . phyllis : that 's right . billy is right . we 'd be rewarding victor for the horrible things he 's done to this family . ashley : well , if we 're gon na try to get out of this -- billy : listen , we ca n't deplete jabot 's resources . ashley : what we ca n't do is go to court , billy , 'cause then we 're gon na be liable for far more than half a billion dollars . billy : okay . all right . fine . look , i 've got another option . i 'm the one who launched paragon 2.0 . i quit , victor comes after me . jack : no . billy : look , your hands are clean , and you ca n't prove that phyllis was involved , so -- jack : i 'm not gon na let you do that . i 'm not offering you up as some ritual sacrifice to victor 's ego . billy : well , i 'm not giving you a choice . jack : do n't you understand ? it 's not going to end there . victor sees this as an opportunity to bring down jabot . and he 's not gon na be satisfied just trashing billy . he 's coming after all of us . there is no settling with him , no matter what you offer . ashley : look , if we pay him -- jack : no , we 're not going to trial . we are not giving him a half a billion dollars . no , i will talk to victor . we will work out a better deal . billy : yeah , talk to him . wake up , jack . ashley : billy . billy : there 's no negotiating with victor newman , is there ? ashley : hey ! phyllis : hey ! billy : is there ? so what are you gon na do , jack ? what are you gon na do ? ! see ? that -- that 's what you have to do ! you got to fight if you want to beat victor , jack ! marisa : noah said that my daughter attends a school only the wealthy can afford , that she 's not the miserable , impoverished child you and marco -- luca : whoa , whoa , whoa . you believe noah ? marisa : i just saw it for myself ! i was so overwhelmed meeting her for the first time , i was n't thinking , but the clothes , the way she spoke -- it 's obvious that she 's loved and well - cared for . and you were n't at all surprised . luca : i 'd never let our daughter stay in an ugly , abusive situation . marisa : you let me think the worst ! luca : yes . marisa : why ? why would you lie to me ? luca : because i knew i did n't imagine the love we felt for each other . marisa : [ sighs ] luca : it was my family that drove us apart , marisa , their meddling . i believed that we would find that love again if it was just the two of us searching for our daughter . marisa : tell me the truth about eva . luca : marisa -- marisa : tell me ! luca : i pay her tuition . i 've been keeping tabs on her , providing for her . marisa : and the family she lives with ? luca : they are n't wealthy , ca n't afford much , but they are good , loving people . marisa : how could you ? luca : look , what i did was misguided , hurtful . but i want to make it right now , marisa . to see you and our daughter together -- i can make that happen for you . noah : grandpa , what are you thinking going into business with luca santori and his -- victor : shh , shh , shh . noah : ... and his family ? victor : shh , shh , shh . noah : why are you doing business with them ? victor : son , i 'm running a company . noah : these are very dangerous people that you 're bringing into our lives . victor : oh , yeah ? what have you heard ? noah : okay , well , forget the bribery and the market manipulations . they 're illegal arms dealers . victor : they 've never been convicted of anything . noah : that 's because they manipulated the system . they intimidated people . they threatened them . victor : noah . people on a certain level of business are known sometimes to intimidate people and do things that others do n't like necessarily . noah : i do n't think ... victor : but you need to stay out of this . i 'm warning you . victor : powerful people attract all kinds of unwanted and unfounded accusations . noah : unfounded ? are you sure they 're unfounded ? victor : i know why you 're doing this . you want to hang on to that girl . noah : maybe . so what ? victor : i understand , noah , okay ? if anyone understands , i do . but let me warn you . she 's dangerous . you 're too good for her . she has been with a lot of bad guys . luca santori , marco . these are treacherous men . so consider you 're lucky if she 's gone . noah : i get it . i get it . you do n't want marisa and i to be together . i hear you loud and clear . but this does n't have to be like billy and victoria . it does n't . victoria 's finally walking out on billy . victor : wait a minute . noah : you had to rub it in his face at the christening . victor : do you know how much it hurt to see my daughter victoria , who i adore , associate herself with billy abbott ? he 's a useless sob . noah : you 're just so good at getting what you want . victor : you bet . noah : and , you know , going into business with the santoris , it does have the added benefit of throwing marisa 's ex into the mix , putting a wedge between her and i . victor : whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa . you think that 's what i 'm doing ? come on now . noah : what i know is that these are the worst kind of criminals , and i can not just sit by while my grandfather brings them further into our lives . victor : mm - hmm . to which i have to say you let me worry about that , okay ? luca : come in . i 'm luca . this is marisa . carmen : you were at the park . marisa : yeah . i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to worry you , carmen , by speaking to eva that way . you see , i 'm ... carmen : eva 's biological mother . marisa : that 's right . and luca 's ... luca : i 'm the man who 's been paying for eva 's schooling . carmen : i suspected this day would come . the adoption was so secret , no legal documents . i just knew one day you would want her back . i am begging you , please , to think about what you are doing . think about the girl .

adam : it 's very simple . you cut billy loose . you let him take the fall . chelsea : what are you saying ? adam : it 's not like that , sweetheart . it 's just business . chelsea : it 's -- it 's wrong . all of it . after everything jack 's done for you , you would advise victor to sue his family for everything they have ?

phyllis : well , i think when you 're right , you 're right . it 's in everybody 's best interest to let you take the fall for using paragon to siphon off the newman entities . billy : it would appease the mustache and keep jabot solvent . phyllis : but what would it do to you ? billy : oh , i do n't need to be connected to the family business to be happy . you know , i can start another magazine , buy a bar , win a restaurant in a poker game . phyllis : only one problem with that . billy : what 's that ?

if billy was n't solely responsible , then -- adam : billy was solely responsible for getting phyllis involved . jack : phyllis was a very willing participant . but i am sure that billy drove this whole thing , yes . adam : okay , and you 're not the least bit angry ? you 're not upset just a little bit ? jack : oh , i 'm angry . i almost put a fist through my brother 's face . but i am not turning him over to victor newman ! adam : why do n't you consider the rest of your family members ? why do n't you do that ? something billy did n't do when he reignited paragon , went after newman . jack : no , maybe he was just thinking about his daughter . adam : yeah . chelsea : that 's not fair , jack . adam : it 's true , you know , right ? everything always comes back to delia for him . everything . jack : you know what billy went through . you know what he lost . how can you ask me to betray my brother to save my company ? adam : i 'm trying to protect you , jack . this is a huge breach of trust on my part , too . do you have any idea what my father would do if he found out i was -- jack : why are you telling me ? adam : because i know the way his brain works ! he 's gon na see this lawsuit as him getting his pound of flesh , and it 'll be over ! you stand in his way , you know what he 's gon na do ? he 's gon na come after jabot ! he 's not gon na stop until it 's bankrupt ! and then he 's gon na go after you ! he 's gon na go after your entire family ! you think i 'm just talking financial here ? he 's gon na destroy every single one of you . you know what i 'm talking about , do n't you ? jack : you bet i know . adam : jack . ashley 's name 's on the door -- c.e.o . i do n't care . you know this lands in your lap , right ? it is your job to protect your company . it 's your job to protect your family . jack : and that 's exactly what i 'm gon na do , adam . adam : good . jack : 'cause this is how my mind works . my father built jabot ... so that his children would have a professional home , a place , a legacy . i am going to preserve that legacy ... for every one of john abbott 's children . adam : ca n't talk to that man . i mean , i ca n't talk to him . [ chuckles ] chelsea : do you really hate billy that much ? that you would actually try to turn his own brother against him ? victor : well , i 'm glad to hear that one of the abbotts has some business savvy . what are you willing to offer ? ashley : you realize that the only thing i should be offering you is an escort out of the building , because jack told me everything . about marco . what you did . what you inflicted on jack and phyllis . i mean , you know what ? you should actually be behind bars right now . victor : really ? ashley : absolutely . i mean , how can you possibly defend what you did ? victor : i wonder how your good friend stitch would react to what you 're saying now . ashley : i 'm not following . victor : you are n't ? ashley : do you have something to say to me ? please just say it . victor : i wonder how he would feel if he learned that jack was responsible for his sister kelly 's death . ashley : what ? victor : i guess jack failed to tell you that , did n't he ? i 'm sure he also did n't tell you about that boat explosion that killed a lot of people . ashley : a boat explosion ? victor : yes . the explosion of a cargo ship . he and marisa were on that ship . a lot of sailors -- fathers and sons -- innocent people who died in that explosion . ashley : no , jack would never do something like that . victor : yes , he would , and he did . your brother has a lot of blood on his hands . and i 'm sure you would n't want him to be held accountable for that , now , would you ? so , shall we talk business ? marisa : she 's so cute and -- and polite and smart . [ door closes ] marisa : the way she spoke . did you hear she asked my name ? the light in her eyes . luca : your eyes . she 's gon na be a heartbreaker . [ chuckles ] marisa : she is . she 's ... [ cell phone rings ] marisa : noah . i , uh , i just met my daughter . she 's the most precious , exquisite little girl . noah : that 's -- that 's great . marisa , that 's great . um , listen , lu - luca has been lying to you . something about the story about eva -- it does n't add up . marisa : what do you mean ? noah : the girl , your daughter -- she goes to one of the most expensive and prestigious schools in spain . she 's not from some poor , abusive family . marisa , did you hear me ? is that what it seemed like to you ? did she seem like she was in some kind of trouble ? luca : what is it ? noah : are you with luca right now ? marisa : yes . noah : marisa , you need to get away from him as fast as possible . he has been lying to you about everything . marisa . [ sighs ] mariah : what 'd she say ? noah : i do n't know . the call dropped or she hung up . she was with luca . hey , kevin ? i need one more favor from you . kevin : dirt on luca 's family . hmm . noah : what 's wrong ? kevin : i 'm hitting some walls . noah : well , just find me whatever you can find , kevin . please hurry . mariah : what is this going to accomplish ? noah : i just want to know who i 'm dealing with . mariah : what are you gon na do with the information once you get it ? i mean , so what if he has a bad credit score or his real name is irving . kevin : holy shiitake . noah : what 's up ? what did you find ? kevin : luca 's family has been the target of multiple investigations into illegal activities . noah : what kind of illegal activities ? kevin : uh , market manipulation , political payoffs . mariah : well , that 's not exactly `` holy shiitake `` worthy . kevin : how about illegal arms dealing ? noah : whoa . mariah : seriously ? kevin : yeah , the santoris are involved in some serious black - market stuff . noah : what -- what about luca ? is luca 's name on there ? has he been convicted of anything ? kevin : authorities could n't make charges against any of these guys stick . mariah : maybe they 're innocent . kevin : witnesses recanted . others went missing . mariah : oh , my god . that 's scary . kevin : some judges and prosecutors felt the same way . several cases were withdrawn when prosecuting officials had a sudden change of heart . noah : wow . kevin , can -- can you send this to my phone ? kevin : sure . but are you sure ? mariah : noah , these are not people that you want to mess with . adam : i 'm doing everything i can to protect jack . i 'm trying everything i can to try to bring this to some sort of bloodless , peaceful resolution . chelsea : while making billy the scapegoat . adam : no , no , no , it 's not like that . chelsea : i heard you . you think billy is dispensable in all of this . i just do n't understand . why ? are you still harboring some resentment towards him ? adam : no , of course not . chelsea : are you sure ? you know , when you were watching him play father to connor , that did n't bother you ? adam : of course that bothered me . do n't be ridiculous . chelsea : so then why are you denying it ? adam : because any resentment or jealousy i feel toward billy is trumped by guilt . i 'm responsible for him losing his little girl . chelsea : [ sighs ] adam : it 's not personal . chelsea : babe , it 's personal to me . i lived with him . i - i almost married him . adam : you know , we do n't need to rehash the whole -- chelsea : we were close in the same way , you know , you and sage were close . adam : okay , look , that 's completely different . chelsea : why ? because she insists she was n't really in love for you ? adam : yeah , for one . yeah . chelsea : but you were more than friends . i mean , you and sage -- you shared something significant . adam : yeah . chelsea : so then how would you feel if i just cavalierly threw sage to the wolves ? adam : billy brought this on himself . chelsea : that 's not even remotely true . you know what he 's been through with victor through the years . billy is not the bad guy here . your father is . adam : sweetheart , you think i do n't know that ? chelsea : so then why do you want to be a part of all this ? adam : i do n't have a choice ! chelsea : you do have a choice ! walk away ! do n't help victor anymore ! you 're out of prison now , adam . he ca n't hurt you . ashley : ultimately , you 're to blame for everything that 's happened . but i am prepared to make you an offer of $ 25 million . victor : [ chuckles ] $ 25 million ? you 're wasting my time , my dear . ashley : $ 50 million . i do n't want to see another brother be hurt by you . victor : why are you so protective of that useless brother of yours ? billy boy abbott brought all this down on you . ashley : our daughter 's getting married , victor , okay ? and i do n't want her wedding to be marred by you and i going at each other 's throats . victor : nor do i . but as long as you hold me responsible ... ashley : okay , there 's enough blame to go around ! $ 50 million to make this go away ! victor : you add a zero to that , then we can talk , okay ? ashley : $ 500 million ? victor : bye - bye . [ clatter ] phyllis : jack may have wanted to sock you in the jaw just now , but he loves you , billy , unconditionally . billy : i got to give it to my brother . he is loyal . phyllis : yep . and he knows how to channel his emotions , unlike some of us , which is a good thing for you and me and our entire family . billy : oh , yes . i 'm well aware of his amazing qualities . they 've been held up as the gold standard my entire life . but the guy is not without his shortcomings . phyllis : none that i 've noticed . billy : [ groans ] you know exactly what i 'm talking about , phyllis . [ sighs ] the guy feels like he can coexist peacefully with victor , and we all know that that is not possible , not after everything he 's done . phyllis : which is why i went along with you , billy , with this whole paragon stunt . but now that victor is on to us -- billy : now that he is on to us , why the hell would we appease him ? no matter what we offer victor , he 's -- he 's going to insist that he is the last one standing , and jack 's magic powers , this voice of reason , is going to be worthless against the almighty newman . you know that 's true . there is only one way that we survive this . adam : i 'm committed to going down this road with my father . it 's not worth talking about . there 's no going back . chelsea : okay , but -- adam : to be honest with you , i 'm glad i 'm in this position . chelsea : really ? adam : yeah . really . i 'm my dad 's right - hand man . i can keep an eye on him , and i can keep jack safe . it 's perfect . chelsea : hmm . okay , well , um , you did n't answer my question before . adam : i did n't answer your question about what ? chelsea : sage . how would you feel if i was making her a target for your father the way you 're making billy ? adam : it 's not about that . chelsea : well , then explain it to me , adam . what ? what is it that i 'm not getting ? adam : sweetheart , i 'm doing billy a favor . ashley : i met with victor today . billy : why would you do that ? ashley : i made him an offer to keep him from pursuing a lawsuit . jack : how much is he asking ? ashley : half a billion dollars . billy : [ scoffs ] half a billion ? well , that 's -- that 's a bargain . ashley : it 's no joke , billy . billy : well , it ought to be . we ca n't afford that . look , we 're not making a deal with victor . phyllis : that 's right . billy is right . we 'd be rewarding victor for the horrible things he 's done to this family . ashley : well , if we 're gon na try to get out of this -- billy : listen , we ca n't deplete jabot 's resources . ashley : what we ca n't do is go to court , billy , 'cause then we 're gon na be liable for far more than half a billion dollars . billy : okay . all right . fine . look , i 've got another option . i 'm the one who launched paragon 2.0 . i quit , victor comes after me . jack : no . billy : look , your hands are clean , and you ca n't prove that phyllis was involved , so -- jack : i 'm not gon na let you do that . i 'm not offering you up as some ritual sacrifice to victor 's ego . billy : well , i 'm not giving you a choice . jack : do n't you understand ? it 's not going to end there . victor sees this as an opportunity to bring down jabot . and he 's not gon na be satisfied just trashing billy . he 's coming after all of us . there is no settling with him , no matter what you offer . ashley : look , if we pay him -- jack : no , we 're not going to trial . we are not giving him a half a billion dollars . no , i will talk to victor . we will work out a better deal . billy : yeah , talk to him . wake up , jack . ashley : billy . billy : there 's no negotiating with victor newman , is there ? ashley : hey ! phyllis : hey ! billy : is there ? so what are you gon na do , jack ? what are you gon na do ? ! see ? that -- that 's what you have to do ! you got to fight if you want to beat victor , jack ! marisa : noah said that my daughter attends a school only the wealthy can afford , that she 's not the miserable , impoverished child you and marco -- luca : whoa , whoa , whoa . you believe noah ? marisa : i just saw it for myself ! i was so overwhelmed meeting her for the first time , i was n't thinking , but the clothes , the way she spoke -- it 's obvious that she 's loved and well - cared for . and you were n't at all surprised . luca : i 'd never let our daughter stay in an ugly , abusive situation . marisa : you let me think the worst ! luca : yes . marisa : why ? why would you lie to me ? luca : because i knew i did n't imagine the love we felt for each other . marisa : [ sighs ] luca : it was my family that drove us apart , marisa , their meddling . i believed that we would find that love again if it was just the two of us searching for our daughter . marisa : tell me the truth about eva . luca : marisa -- marisa : tell me ! luca : i pay her tuition . i 've been keeping tabs on her , providing for her . marisa : and the family she lives with ? luca : they are n't wealthy , ca n't afford much , but they are good , loving people . marisa : how could you ? luca : look , what i did was misguided , hurtful . but i want to make it right now , marisa . to see you and our daughter together -- i can make that happen for you . noah : grandpa , what are you thinking going into business with luca santori and his -- victor : shh , shh , shh . noah : ... and his family ? victor : shh , shh , shh . noah : why are you doing business with them ? victor : son , i 'm running a company . noah : these are very dangerous people that you 're bringing into our lives . victor : oh , yeah ? what have you heard ? noah : okay , well , forget the bribery and the market manipulations . they 're illegal arms dealers . victor : they 've never been convicted of anything . noah : that 's because they manipulated the system . they intimidated people . they threatened them . victor : noah . people on a certain level of business are known sometimes to intimidate people and do things that others do n't like necessarily . noah : i do n't think ... victor : but you need to stay out of this . i 'm warning you . victor : powerful people attract all kinds of unwanted and unfounded accusations . noah : unfounded ? are you sure they 're unfounded ? victor : i know why you 're doing this . you want to hang on to that girl . noah : maybe . so what ? victor : i understand , noah , okay ? if anyone understands , i do . but let me warn you . she 's dangerous . you 're too good for her . she has been with a lot of bad guys . luca santori , marco . these are treacherous men . so consider you 're lucky if she 's gone . noah : i get it . i get it . you do n't want marisa and i to be together . i hear you loud and clear . but this does n't have to be like billy and victoria . it does n't . victoria 's finally walking out on billy . victor : wait a minute . noah : you had to rub it in his face at the christening . victor : do you know how much it hurt to see my daughter victoria , who i adore , associate herself with billy abbott ? he 's a useless sob . noah : you 're just so good at getting what you want . victor : you bet . noah : and , you know , going into business with the santoris , it does have the added benefit of throwing marisa 's ex into the mix , putting a wedge between her and i . victor : whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa . you think that 's what i 'm doing ? come on now . noah : what i know is that these are the worst kind of criminals , and i can not just sit by while my grandfather brings them further into our lives . victor : mm - hmm . to which i have to say you let me worry about that , okay ? luca : come in . i 'm luca . this is marisa . carmen : you were at the park . marisa : yeah . i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to worry you , carmen , by speaking to eva that way . you see , i 'm ... carmen : eva 's biological mother . marisa : that 's right . and luca 's ... luca : i 'm the man who 's been paying for eva 's schooling . carmen : i suspected this day would come . the adoption was so secret , no legal documents . i just knew one day you would want her back . i am begging you , please , to think about what you are doing . think about the girl . [ voice breaking ] my daughter , she is the light of my life . her life , it 's here . it 's all she 's ever known . marisa : seeing her , i ... carmen : i can not afford much . i may not be able to afford a big house or the nicest of clothes , but she goes to a good school . eva has a happy life with much love . so much love . marisa : i can -- i can see that . and i am grateful for that , carmen . i really am . all i want is my little girl 's happiness . mariah : leaving ? kevin : yes . i 'm headed home . i need to do some serious work with a little more privacy . mariah : oh , yay . your super - secret project with the yodeler . kevin : yodeler ? mariah : yeah . the swiss hacker chick who apparently is too dense to realize how great her idea is . what is this amazing idea , anyway ? kevin : i ca n't say . mariah : because it 's not legal ? kevin : it 's totally legit . mariah : you said that the newmans and the abbotts would pay a fortune for it . why ? jack : going on the attack against newman , escalating hostilities , is not the answer . phyllis : what 's left to escalate ? victor could n't be any more hostile . ashley : what 's your suggestion ? jack : i will broker a better deal . ashley : there 's no chance in hell , jack . billy : see , this is what i 'm thinking . jack : i will get victor to listen to reason . phyllis : reason ? victor does n't do that , jack . billy : jack , what is it gon na take for you to realize there is no reasoning with lurch . i mean , how low does this guy have to go ? jack : i will find a way . billy : oh , this -- this is great . while he goes and grovels to victor , we 're here doing exactly nothing . ashley : it 's all because of you , billy . you 're the problem . billy : [ scoffs ] phyllis : attacking one another is not gon na solve a thing . billy : well , neither is crippling jabot by caving to victor 's demands . ashley : you have n't given us a choice , billy . no , i admit it . losing half a billion dollars -- it 's gon na hurt . but we can rebuild , and that wo n't be the case if we go to court . billy : well , there has got to be something we can do to save this company while victor is laughing at us . phyllis : jack could find a way to combine our assets . ashley : if he ca n't make a deal , i 'm paying victor off . billy : ashley , you ca n't do that ! ashley : i do n't want to hear anything from you , okay , because your input is not welcome . billy : fine . fine . you do whatever the hell you want . phyllis : oh , billy , come on . what are you doing ? chelsea : you think you 're doing billy a favor , setting him up so victor can take a swipe at him ? adam : sweetheart , billy acted on his worst impulses to take on my father , okay ? number one , it 's a losing proposition . number two , it feeds into the narrative that my father 's made up about him , that he 's inconsistent , that he ca n't be trusted , that he 's a lightweight . chelsea : but do n't you think that by making him a target -- adam : i 'm removing billy from the fray is what i 'm doing . i 'm protecting him from acting on his anger toward my father . you see what i 'm doing ? i 'm giving him his last chance , sweetheart . chelsea : uh , his last chance to fix things with victoria ? adam : his last chance to get his family back . thank you . come here . marisa : you ca n't know how hard it was for me to give up my daughter . it was the most difficult decision i 've ever had to make . carmen : how could you let her go ? marisa : i was determined to not raise my child in the unhappy life i was living . i wanted better for her . i was told that , uh , she was living in a difficult environment , abusive family . carmen : no . never . we would never . i could never hurt her . marisa : i did n't know , carmen . i was desperate to get my child out of the terrible circumstances that were described to me . i would have done anything . done things i otherwise would n't have . carmen : all for your daughter . marisa : you ca n't know what it was like to finally see her . carmen : i do know . i understand a mother 's joy . marisa : no , it was n't just the joy of being reunited with her after all these years . it was -- it was the joy of seeing how happy she is . carmen : you 've come to take her back . marisa : that 's why i came , yes . carmen : how will i tell her ?

[ scene_break ] rafe : why would a woman separated from her husband volunteer to testify on his behalf ? victoria : billy and i have our issues , but he 's a loving father , and he 's completely devoted to his children . and anyone who says otherwise , well ... there 's just no truth to that . rafe : you 've had ample opportunity to see him care for his daughter cordelia . victoria : yes , she stayed with us a lot . rafe : what can you tell us about their relationship ? victoria : well , their faces light up when they see each other . they truly enjoy each other , and she trusts him . he 's there for her when she wakes up in the morning , and he checks for monsters under her bed at night . he 's everything that a little girl could want from a daddy . he 's kind and encouraging and loving . he 's firm when he needs to be . but if these two were ever separated , it would devastate billy . but it would be worse for delia , because her heart would be broken , and i pray that it does n't come to that . [ scene_break ] sofia : malcolm , you can talk to me anytime you like . i 've been trying to get in touch with you . malcolm : yeah , in all those messages that you left , not once -- not once did you mention anything about the paternity of the child that you 're carrying . that 's what i 'm concerned about , okay ? neil : sofia , have you taken any steps towards finding that out ? sofia : yes , i explained the situation to my doctor , which was humiliating , but there are other options . it could be as simple as testing my blood for rh antibodies . see , since you and i are rh - negative and neil is positive ... so if i have those antibodies , it means the baby has inherited neil 's blood type . malcolm : and if you do n't , does that mean the baby is still mine , or -- or wh- what ? we do n't know ? sofia : well , then there still has to be more testing at that point , and i 've already made an appointment to have my blood work done .

( sighs ) if chloe had one scrap of evidence , billy would have been all over it . he is so protective of delia . we 're talking about a man that sits by her bedside all night long when she 's sick . the idea that he would be careless with her -- it just would never happen . rafe : you 're describing a -- a very involved father . victoria : if you asked him right now , he would know delia 's favorite color , her favorite movie , her favorite line from her favorite book , and this is n't so easy , because these change every day . ( sighs ) but when he 's sitting on the floor with her drinking endless pink teacups of imaginary tea , he 's really listening to her . i would hope that every child would have a father as caring and as competent as billy . rafe : thank you , ms. newman . landon : ms. newman , you also have a son from a previous marriage . rafe : objection , your honor -- relevance . we 're here to discuss mr. abbott 's relationship with his child . judge : sustained . landon : i daresay my client would agree with much of what you said here today -- that billy is one of delia 's favorite playmates . victoria : he 's her parent . landon : parents have a responsibility to show good judgment , to teach their kids the difference between right and wrong . billy abbott is on record admitting that he bought a baby on the black market . do you defend that behavior ? what kind of man does that ? victoria : a man who loves his wife . he loves me . that 's why he did it . landon : no further questions , your honor . judge : you may leave the stand . victoria : ( sighs ) billy : ( clears throat ) judge : if there are no further witnesses ... rafe : no , your honor . judge : i 'll review the testimony and have a decision for you in the morning .

kevin : really ? just flaunting it out in the open ? nice . very classy . billy : dude , you need to give that a rest . chloe : oh , my god . tell me about it . kevin : you two -- you are incredible . always acting like you ca n't get along . maybe -- i guess that 's just a cover . or -- wait -- maybe you do hate each other , and this has just been one long round of hate sex . the best part is , i was coming here to apologize to you for thinking that you were doing the thing that you 're actually doing ! that makes me a jackass . billy : kevin ? you are a jackass . chloe , good luck with the rabid chipmunk . i 'm out of here . have fun . kevin : so , you and billy ? what -- is that payback for all the things that i 've done , or were you just pretending to be pissed so you 'd feel entitled to step out ? chloe : oh , i am not fighting with you , kevin . kevin : oh , right -- because our marriage is fine , and i 'm crazy for thinking otherwise . chloe : no . you 're right . our marriage has completely fallen apart . [ scene_break ] victoria : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] adam : the past is gone , sharon . it 's useless to you , as is nicholas . sharon : do n't pretend that this is about me and nicholas just because chelsea does n't want anything to do with you . adam : nicholas wants avery . chelsea wants dylan . more power to them . i 'm making peace with it , and you should , too . sharon : as if you care . adam : well , not in the way that you want me or nicholas and , apparently , now some random stranger to . sharon : excuse me ? adam : it 's a band - aid over a broken bone , sharon . strong arms , soft bed , and some guy who does n't even know your name . sharon : how dare you . [ scene_break ] chelsea : mom ! this is not a good time ! anita : no time like the present . words to live by . chelsea : uh , no . uh , i ca n't talk now . not a good time for me , okay ? anita : [ sighs ] chelsea : okay ? ! anita : [ sighs ] if that 's what you want , baby . chelsea : yeah . dylan : if it 's okay with you two , i 'd like to get all our cards out on the table . anita : i ca n't think of anything i 'd like more . [ scene_break ] avery : it 's been too long , nick -- whatever it is you 're holding back that you feel like you ca n't talk about . and i think it 's about summer . nick : why would you think that ? avery : that phone call with phyllis . you left the room so i would n't hear . you would only give a call from phyllis that much attention if it was about summer . so is that it ? is she in trouble ? nick : uh , no . she 's not . avery : but someone else is ? what ? why are you being so cryptic ? nick : i 'm sorry . i do n't mean to be . it 's just -- avery : no , you 're just dodging the questions ! something is bothering you , and you wo n't tell me what it is . what are we doing , nick ? if you do n't believe in me , why am i even here ? [ scene_break ] sharon : that has got to be the most insane thing i 've ever heard . adam : no , i 'm not judging you , sharon . i 'm the last person to judge anybody . i 'm just offering you genuine advice . sharon : oh , because you know me so well . adam : yes . yes , i do . sharon : you know what ? i know you , too , adam . and you are cold and black inside . and you think humor makes you seem more like a real person -- warm and rounded . it only makes you colder . if you think that you 've moved on from chelsea , you are a fool on top of it all . adam : hey . it 's me -- adam . you busy ? [ scene_break ] chelsea : we really do n't owe her this , dylan . dylan : no . please . it 's important . and it needs to be said . i love your daughter . uh , i know it 's -- its fast , and it may seem like it 's just because of the baby . when i met chelsea , i was ready just to leave town . and the baby is the reason i stayed . but staying ... is the reason that i fell in love . i fell in love with chelsea 's heart , with her humor ... with her substantial appetite for sandwiches with extra hot sauce ... chelsea : [ snickers ] dylan : ... and just the way she looks when she 's asleep . she 's so at peace ... with the tiniest smile . anita : i know that look from when she was a little girl . dylan : then i know you love her , even if the two of you go ' round and ' round the way you do . but money -- it 's not love , anita . you may think it is , but it is n't . i will give chelsea love and security and be the one that she can always count on . same goes for your grandchild . i will give them everything they will ever need , and you will never have to worry about either one of them . [ scene_break ] avery : do you remember when i first came to town ? i was sharon 's attorney . i was a stranger -- only i was n't . i was phyllis ' sister , and you did n't know that . nick : phyllis was hiding her past from everyone -- me , daniel , jack . avery : yeah , but i did n't tell you , either . nick : well , that was -- avery : it was what ? it was different ? was it ? i deceived you , and i hurt phyllis . nick : you explained all of that . avery : no , no , no . i explained part of it . i told you that i felt abandoned by phyllis , and i told you about my dad . but i did n't tell you about dylan . i did n't tell you about the affair . i did n't tell you about the miscarriage . those were other secrets , other lies of omission . nick : why are you doing all this -- listing all of your sins ? all that stuff 's in the past . avery : yes , it was my past . but i carried around that shame , and it was like i was being haunted . and you helped me exorcise those ghosts , because you were loving and forgiving . and it was such a relief ! nick : you do n't need my forgiveness . i love you exactly the way you are . avery : okay . so ... you 're saying that i 'm not as loving as you are ? i 'm not as forgiving ? i 'm not as open ? nick : what does that mean ? avery : it means i shared everything with you , every last part of myself , even the stuff that i knew would hurt . and you still loved me . and now you 're telling me whatever you 're keeping inside , you do n't know how i 'm gon na feel . so i 'm asking you , nick -- do you think i 'm incapable of being as loving and as forgiving as you were to me ? [ scene_break ] sharon : can you feel it ? do you know it ? i hope to god that 's all you know -- just how much i miss and love you ... and not the rest -- what my life has become ... what it 's been for so long now , when i think about it . [ sighs ] it 's as if , when you died , i -- i just started walking . and i got further and further away from home . and i want to find my way back , but ... i do n't know how . noah -- he has his own home and life now . you would really like him , cassie . he has such a big heart . faith -- she 's going to have a new family soon . your father 's getting married again . he and i -- when we think of you , we feel you with us , only you 're not there . the hole in our hearts , it -- it really hurt your father , so much so that he -- he ca n't stand the thought that maybe summer might not be his -- so much so that he did n't want to take the test to be sure . i know you know that . he told you . and i heard him . and now ... everything 's changed . [ scene_break ] nick : all those things that you brought up , those things that you did -- they only involved you . you were the only one who got hurt . this is not just about me . avery : right . it 's about summer . nick : there are other people this affects , and there are other people who need to know about this before i tell you . it 's only fair . it 's gon na come out . there 's no way around that . i just need more -- avery : you need more time . i know . nick : [ sighs ] it 's what i have to have , because this ca n't -- we ca n't get married with this hanging over our heads . avery : what do you mean ? nick : you will know about this before the wedding . i promise you that . because i do n't know how you 're gon na feel about me or us until you know . so once you hear it , then you can decide if you want to walk down that aisle with me . avery : you think this news is bad enough that i might not want to marry you ? [ scene_break ] kevin : you were practically making out with billy , and it 's my fault ? chloe : you ... are deranged . i was not making out with billy . i was patting him on the hand because he 's ruined his life again . kevin : how ? chloe : he 's gambling . it 's bad . it 's huge . and i was trying to tell him to get his act together for dee dee 's sake , and his . kevin : well , i still do n't understand why you were holding his hand . if he was so much as looking at a lottery ticket , i would think that you would kick his ass up the street and back , not want to hold his hand . chloe : yeah , in the past , i probably would have pounded him . but now i 've changed . growth . kevin : okay . so , the new , bighearted you can forgive billy but not me ? how is it that the current husband gets second place in this contest ? chloe : because he has n't hurt anyone other than himself , kevin . you -- you committed a crime , and you let me take the fall for it . i tried to help you realize that you 're not the only person in this world who is pitiful . and you just could n't follow through . kevin : maybe i 'm perfectly happy with who i am , and i do n't want to change . [ scene_break ] billy : did johnny crash ? victoria : he 's so perfect . billy : yeah . look , vic , i , um -- victoria : i -- about chloe -- billy : i swear to god there 's nothing going on . victoria : i know you 're not having an affair with chloe . billy : you know because i said that , or you know because you believe me ? victoria : i believe you . billy : oh , thank god . [ clears throat ] i do n't get it . i thought you said you understood . victoria : billy ... i understand too much . [ scene_break ] dylan : you never met my dad . it would have been nice to have you and pop at thanksgiving . you know , maybe not that much in common except ... that your kids love each other , and your grandchild . chelsea : [ sighs ] if you keep this up , you 're gon na make my knees buckle . [ sniffles ] but not my mother 's . the only way to get through to her is with dollar signs . anita : that 's not the only way . this thing between you two -- dylan : being in love ? anita : do you mean it ? chelsea : yes . we do . anita : and you 're gon na give the baby all that love and security ? love does n't put a roof over anyone 's head . dylan : the baby and chelsea will have as much love as they can handle ... and a home . i swear to you , right here and now . anita : then there 's nothing left for me to say . take care of her . chelsea : [ sighs ] she 's just -- she -- [ sighs ] nobody talks my mother out of anything , especially not out of money . dylan : well , if she can spot a con , then she can tell when somebody 's telling the truth . and i meant every word . chelsea : how can you be ... the way that you are ? people are n't like you . what you just did , by the way -- that might be a miracle . my mother might actually leave us alone . she might actually stay out of our lives for good . dylan : well , i hope not . i mean , i 'd like anita to stick around . [ scene_break ] melanie : if i do n't have the files on the project , i can always run back to the office . adam : what files ? what project ? melanie : whatever you called me to discuss . adam : i called and asked if you were busy , if you wanted to meet for dinner . melanie : right , but a working dinner . [ chuckles ] i assumed -- adam : why would you assume that ? melanie : because why would you want to hang around me socially after i was less than brilliant about your ex - wife and her pregnancy ? adam : my ex - wife [ clears throat ] is a soon - to - be new wife . i care very little about her . melanie : and you 're fine that she 's remarrying ? adam : i wish her well . i was just saying to a friend earlier that moving on ... is the only answer . [ scene_break ] sharon : francis , this was so thoughtful of you . francis : it 's just something for your little girl , mrs. newman . i know it 's your time with her . sharon : every week . it helps being near her . and thank you for these . i know she -- she 'll love them . francis : you keep remembering the good times , mrs. newman . sharon : i will . thank you . he 's right . there were so many good times . being back together again ... after our time apart . watching you grow up into a smart , beautiful , thoughtful young lady . and watching you with nicholas -- how you two loved each other as much as i loved you . that love -- that 's what made us a family . it was our own special magic ... our own miracle . [ sharon remembering ] cassie : can i , nick ? can i call you daddy ? nick : i 'd love that . [ back to present ] sharon : and ... when we 're all together , talking about you , we 're a family again -- the way that it should be , the way we deserve to be . and then , when it 's over ... everyone drifts away . and i 'm alone again . [ voice breaking ] and i miss being happy . i miss having a place ... rather than being outside looking in . and that 's why i did what i did . [ scene_break ] nick : i do n't know how you 're gon na react ... because this is n't just bad news . it 's the worst news . avery : nick , this is a real issue between us . what does that mean -- the worst news ? nick : i feel like i have an ax hovering over my neck . avery : okay , everything you say scares me more . nick : please , do n't be afraid . avery : well , then , stop using ax imagery ! nick : i 'm sorry that you feel like i 'm shutting you out , because that is the last thing that i wanted . but , avery , this is all i can give you right now . i 'm so sorry . avery : i 'm sorry , too , 'cause you do n't seem to realize that you could make these ghosts go away by letting me in . and you wo n't . and i do n't think i can move forward with you . [ scene_break ] chelsea : right down to her bones . it is what she loves . it is what she lives for . if i handed her a bag of cash right now , she would treat it better than a grandchild . she would announce it on faceplace and post a million pictures . dylan : well , that 's too bad , because this kid 's already getting shortchanged on grandparents . chelsea : because your parents are gone ? dylan : [ sighs ] chelsea : do you have any extended family ? dylan : yeah . you know , i got an aunt and uncle here and there . i had a -- a buddy in the service ... who was family . best little brother a guy could have . sully . chelsea : `` had `` ? i 'm sorry . dylan : yeah . you know , the rest of the unit was like family . you live or die for those guys . but then you get back to your -- back to the states . you get back to your life . and you make a new family . chelsea : okay . so maybe we can just go out and find better grandparents than jeff and anita . dylan : you 're not close with your dad , either . chelsea : not close . but as messed up as jeffrey is , he 's not as ... dangerous as anita . dylan : uh ... dangerous how ? chelsea : just the messages she sends . her priorities . i mean , i 've told her 100 times just to let me have this , you know , just to let me be happy . but to anita , all that matters is money . dylan : but when push comes to shove ... blood counts more . do n't you think ? chelsea : well , depending on the parent , i mean , i think sometimes ... blood is overrated . dylan : well , the way you know jeff and anita -- i mean , this baby 's gon na know them in a totally different way . and they might surprise you . they might be better grandparents than they are parents . but no matter what ... the family bond matters . it 's the one thing in life that ca n't be undone . [ scene_break ] sharon : if you knew the things i 've done ... how lonely i 've been just looking for -- i do n't know -- comfort ... just someone to be with ... only to end up even more alone . and then there 's adam . god . just -- i am just so ... embarrassed . i -- he 's reformed now . he 's a new man . the old adam , the bad adam , is the one who was in love with me . and what does that say about me ? that someone i thought i cared so much about sees me as an annoyance ... something to be shoved aside ? the truth is ... i was never really loved -- not by him . only by one person . and that 's gone now . [ voice breaking ] i miss you so much . you 'll never know how much i miss our life together . when you 've worked so hard for something , you just would never think that life would be so cruel to take it all away . [ scene_break ] billy : i lied to you more than once , and i 'm sorry . victoria : yes . you lied to me ... and you hid from me . and we argued about you buying a restaurant . but you never really bought the restaurant . you won it in a card game . you 're sick . [ sighs ] and then you went back for more . you knew that sitting at a poker game or betting on the horses or any kind of gambling -- you knew what that would do to us . and you did it anyway . you let this addiction ... take over you . billy : my name 's billy , and i 'm a gambling addict [ clears throat ] and i need help ? [ scene_break ] kevin : this is the part i do n't get . why am i suddenly supposed to change who i am ? you loved me just fine before . chloe : i love you now . but that does n't mean that i have to like the life that you want to live . kevin : [ scoffs ] [ scene_break ] victoria : i know that you regret everything that happened to me in miami . i know that -- how your gambling past hurt me . it hurt us . so for you to start the cycle all over again -- i mean , why -- why would you risk that ? billy : i know , okay ? i know . i know . i want it out of me . i want it done . i want it gone . i want it -- i want out of it , okay ? i -- and i can do it . but i ca n't do it without you . victoria : but i 'm your wife . i 'm not a -- a counselor or an addiction therapist . billy : love and faith and strength ... i get from you . i always get it from you . victoria : yeah , but it was n't enough to keep you straight . it was n't enough , so why would it be now ? [ scene_break ] kevin : chloe , you and i are not straight - and - narrow people . we fell in love because we got each other -- our quirks , our neuroses , the fact that neither of us were saints . and now you 're pulling this bait - and - switch , and it 's like i 'm supposed to just fall in line . chloe : when delia stole brianna 's doll ... i was not okay with it . and it was like it did n't bother you at all . and that 's not a good sign . kevin : it 's not like i was taking her along with me and having her keep lookout . she 's a kid . she did something naughty . it does n't make her a criminal ! chloe : and having a criminal as a role model -- what if she becomes one ? when delia had leukemia ... i made about ... a million bargains with god that i could keep her on this earth . and she got better . and i messed up . i put on that stupid catsuit , and i broke the law like it was some kind of game . and i 'm not gon na do it again . i want to be the mother that delia deserves . kevin : so i 'm the bad stepfather for trying to keep our heads above water . chloe : do n't use our family as an excuse to commit a crime . kevin : you know , after that whole bookkeeping thing with angelo , i tried . i tried to be legit -- tagngrab , the coffeehouse . it was n't enough . it 's not enough . chloe : the money 's not enough ... or the fun ? if you heard that someone had a stack of cash and rare diamonds and ming vases ... in their house , could you resist ? or would you just have an adrenaline rush about getting that grab ... planning , waiting for it to get dark , and then -- then , would you go ? kevin : i would probably go . [ scene_break ] victoria : so you kissed johnny good night , and you told me that you were going to the restaurant . and then what ? where would you go ? [ sniffles ] did you go in some dark , smoke - filled room ? and what 'd you do -- tell yourself you were just gon na play a couple more hands ? on those nights when i was trying to make a baby , you left because you wanted poker more . is that what you 're saying ? billy : it 's a sickness , honey . i do n't know . now that you know , it 's like it -- [ sighs ] it 's different . i promise it 's different . i know what i have to lose . [ scene_break ] chloe : even now , you do n't see it . [ scene_break ] victoria : but do n't you see , billy ? [ scene_break ] chloe : you chose the wrong way , so now you lose .

[ scene_break ] nick : are you giving this back ? avery : my ring ? no . no . i want to marry you , nick . i just -- i ca n't -- it ca n't be now ! we ca n't plan a wedding that we -- we do n't know if it 's gon na happen . nick : yes , we can . waiting 's not the answer . avery : you just told me that i might not want to marry you when i hear this secret . nick : i 'm really hoping that 's not the case . avery : okay . i do n't -- you need to work through this . i have tried to help you . i have tried to talk to you . you do n't want it , so i 'm gon na give you your space . that 's what i 'm gon na do . nick : i do n't need space . i need time . and i need you . avery , i need you to help me through this . avery : how am i supposed to help you through this when i do n't know what i 'm helping you through ? nick : i know . you 're right , and i 'm sorry . i 'm just asking you to please , please be patient , all right ? it 's got to be this way . do n't let this get between us . sharon : oh , my sleepy girl . she had such a big playdate . faith : do n't worry , mommy . i still love you . [ scene_break ] adam : so , in high school , what table did you sit at , at lunch ? melanie : [ chuckles ] adam : were you , uh , sitting with the cheerleaders ... the mathletes , the drama club ? were you the goth chick that , uh , was just waiting to blossom into the hot girl at the prom ? melanie : i sat at the table that did n't believe in labels . that 's how cool i was . adam : you 're not giving me very much here , girl . all i know about you is that you have at least one ex - boyfriend and you aspire to be a partner at a law firm one day and you 're from chicago . melanie : genoa city is working out well so far . what more do you want to know ? if you 'll excuse me , i 'm gon na run to the little girls ' room . adam : what more , indeed . [ scene_break ] billy : please do n't say that . you do n't mean that . victoria : more gambling ... more debts . maybe next time , they kidnap johnny instead of me . but maybe he 's not so lucky . billy : no . none of that . there 's no more gambling . we do n't have any debts , okay ? i - i can fix this . i swear to god i can fix this . i can fix me . just -- i 'll do anything you want . victoria : then go . if you 'll do anything , go . billy : you do n't want me to move out . we worked so hard to be together . do you really want us to give that up ? victoria : [ sighs ] being apart does n't work for us . being together does n't work for you . we ca n't fix this , all right ? you are the one that has to fix this . you 're right . i decided that you were having an affair because i thought that would be a hell of a lot easier to think that you would do that to me than risk everything to go back to gambling ! you risked ... our love , our safety , our family , our chance to grow a family . none of that was as important to you as getting your fix ! okay , so , i have seen addiction enough times in my life to know that my love is just not gon na save you , all right ? it 's not gon na save you , so you have to save yourself . so , for tonight , now , right now , johnny and i need you to go .
