[ both laugh ] laura : yeah . he did n't say goodbye to me , either . that 's just how luke is . carly : well , he left an amazing gift , huh ? he brought little jake home . laura : yes . we are so lucky to have a second chance with little jake , even if there are so many unanswered questions , thanks to helena . carly : yeah , i know what you mean . oh , my god . that little boy -- he looks and acts just like jason . it 's heartbreaking , really . it 's unfair that jason did n't live to see his son come back . laura : uh , yeah . yeah , it 's a shame . sonny : you all right , laura ?

[ scene_break ] ric : look , i 'm the only one who really knows that you think that you took avery . nina : no , not exactly . ric : this blanket is the only physical evidence , nina , that connects you to the kidnapping . once it 's gone , then we only have my testimony . because you and i are married , spousal privilege applies . court can not compel me to testify about anything that you and i have discussed . nina : how can i stay married to you when i 'm in love with franco ? ric : nina , you have -- you 're in so much trouble right now , okay ? this blanket and your -- your behavior is gon na point to you as the kidnapper . the only way to keep you out of pentonville , at this point , is for us to stay married . i mean , at least for the time being . nina : i just -- i - i just have to think . i - i 'm just so confused . everything is coming at me at once . i just have to think . [ baby cries ] nina : no ! no ! [ crying continues ] [ scene_break ] patrick : `` extreme `` is n't exactly an adjective that i would use to describe elizabeth . what did she do ? sam : uh , she 's one of your closest friends . i do n't want it to seem like i 'm ragging on her right now . patrick : i would n't worry about that . it does n't sound like you are . sam : okay . look , this is n't ... really public knowledge , but ... when danny went missing , um , a baby was found , and jason wanted to make sure that the baby was danny , so he had a dna test run . and elizabeth was the first one to see the results . she knew the baby was danny , and she also knew that danny would bring me and jason together , and she wanted him for herself , so ... she tampered with the test . she falsified the results . patrick : are you kidding me ? how -- how did i not know about this ? sam : i do n't -- i do n't know . but she only knew for like a day , and then she came clean . i guess her conscience got the best of her . patrick : i guess that 's not surprising . elizabeth is n't one to hold a secret like that for very long . [ scene_break ] monica : your cousin michael helped me pick this out for you . jason : thank you . monica : aww . you are more than welcome . michael : man , he still looks so much like jason . jason : yeah , i do n't think your mother was ready for that . carly 's a strong woman , no doubt , but when she saw him ... she crumbled . michael : yeah , the way my mom feels about jason , she , uh -- she misses him every day . so do i . and with little jake being back , seeing how alike they are , it 's ... it makes you mad that jason 's not here . but , um , there 's no point in thinking like that , though . jake 's home . at least we have him back in our lives . jason : yeah . let 's see -- he 's got the quartermaines , the spencers , the webbers , danny morgan -- this kid has more family in his life than he knows what to do with . michael : yeah , he deserves it , after what helena did . jason : yeah . she basically did to him what she did to me -- took him from everybody that loved him . i 'm glad he made it back . [ clears throat ] michael : actually , speaking of the cassadines , have you , um -- do you have any update on nikolas ? jason : hey , look , i have told you before -- [ clears throat ] -- there 's a conflict of interest where elizabeth and nikolas are concerned , so she does n't know about this investigation , so we really ca n't ... michael : okay . i understand . but i have n't heard from you in a couple days . jason : okay . all right . sam and i did find something . apparently , nikolas had a prior relationship with hayden barnes . michael : the woman that ric hired to pretend to be your wife . jason : mm - hmm . and apparently , before she was shot , hayden claimed to know who i really am . [ scene_break ] laura : i 'm sorry . i 'm a little distracted . sonny : well , i do n't blame you . i mean , jake 's back home , but you got -- luke 's gone , lucky 's gone . and i 'm -- you know , i was a little surprised . i 'm sorry that lucky did n't stick around . laura : oh , me too . but you know , lucky 's a restless soul . he was born with all of these really big questions about faith and meaning and -- you know ? he just ca n't stop searching , and we love him , and got to let him go . carly : yeah , but i just -- i ca n't help feeling bad for elizabeth and the boys . especially little jake . i mean , a man drops out of the sky and tells little jake that he 's his father and takes him away from the only life he 's ever known and puts him in a new house with a new family and then just disappears . laura : are you saying that you think that jason would never have done that ? carly : i know he would n't have . laura : oh , okay . well , i 'm not gon na disagree with you , but i know , in my heart , that lucky was doing what he thought was best for elizabeth and those kids . carly : well , cameron and aiden are used to it , but little jake -- this is all new to him . laura : lucky knew that little jake was going to be surrounded by love and have the support of a family . sonny : laura 's right . jake 's got his mother and his brothers , carly . carly : well , let 's not forget his namesake . [ scene_break ] michael : hayden knew the truth about you all along ? jason : i 'm not sure . she slipped into a coma before she could tell us what really happened . michael : what about ric ? does he know who you really are ? jason : apparently , ric was in the dark about my true identity . michael : okay . so , ric brings hayden to port charles , and she just happened to know nikolas . jason : well , according to nikolas , he had met hayden in europe , and they had some sort of affair , and then , uh , she just showed up at his doorstep , looking for help , after everything that went down at the nurses ' ball . michael : that seems pretty convenient , do n't you think ? jason : [ sighs ] maybe . i do n't -- hey . elizabeth : look what i found . another one ! jason : look , hayden has a lot of dirty laundry , so if she and nik share a secret , it could be the key to bringing him down . michael : do n't get me wrong here . i think it 's great that this connection between hayden and nikolas could help me get elq back , but do n't you think you 're missing the big picture here ? jason : how do you mean ? michael : have you considered the possibility that nikolas also knows who you really are ? [ scene_break ] laura : little jake 's namesake ? carly : oh , i do n't mean literally . i was referring to elizabeth 's boyfriend , jake doe . laura : oh . yes . i 've heard of him . right . carly : well , he 's a good friend of mine , and he 's a really nice guy . sonny : yeah , he 's a great guy . carly : the point i 'm trying to make is that he 's strong , he 's steady , and he 's really kind . and little jake 's crazy about him . i saw them together at the hospital the other day . sonny : mm . laura : uh ... you know what , you guys ? i really have to get going . carly : i 'm sorry . sonny : no , hey . laura : but it has been so nice to see you both . sonny : so , you gon na stick around port charles for a little bit ? laura : yeah , that 's the plan . sonny : all right . well , then you can come to our wedding . laura : you 're getting married again ? sonny : [ laughs ] carly : yeah . i 'll save you the math . fifth time . laura : oh , my goodness . wow . i admire your perseverance . sonny : well , you know what ? it 's not gon na be a big thing . just , like , a small ceremony with , you know , family and close friends , so you 'll be getting an invitation in the mail . laura : thank you , sonny . thank you so much . i hope i can make it . bye , you two . carly : bye . sonny : so , um ... i like laura . she 's got a good soul . carly : yeah . sonny : good person . carly : uh - huh . sonny : what 's -- what 's the matter ? carly : i do n't know . just felt weird , you know ? felt like something was troubling her . i do n't know . maybe it 's ... luke , lucky , or ... something else . [ scene_break ] jason : yeah , i -- i 've considered that nikolas may know my real identity , but , uh ... he claims helena never told him . michael : we 're talking about the cassadines here . kind of known for lying . jason : yeah , well , look , there 's a very large difference between raiding a corporation and stealing someone 's life . no matter what he has done to your family or elq ... sam just does n't think that he would hide who i truly am . michael : what do you think ? elizabeth : this is kind of intense . what are you guys talking about ? jason : [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] sam : um ... for 24 hours or so , elizabeth got down in the dirt . but thankfully , she is still guided by a pretty strict moral compass . how else would she have come clean about what she did so quickly ? patrick : i guess that 's true , but , i mean ... it 's shocking . sam : yeah . i mean , i 'm not thrilled about it , but i 've made peace with it and put it behind me . patrick : must have been difficult . sam : time helps . and i 'm in no position to judge because when i thought i was losing jason to elizabeth , i did some things that i am definitely not proud of . i just do n't want my past with elizabeth to affect danny being able to know his big brother . i mean , little jake and danny are jason 's sons . they have every right to be in each other 's lives . patrick : i 'll talk to her . sam : it 's not asking too much ? patrick : i 'll do anything for you . sam : thank you .

[ scene_break ] carly : you know , i have n't seen much of morgan in the past few days . sonny : mm - hmm . carly : he 's not returning my calls . the best i could get was a text . sonny : what 'd he say ? carly : well , i said i was missing my little boy , and he said , `` k. `` i think he 's avoiding me . sonny : well , you know , he 's got a lot going on . carly : what does he have going on that he ca n't call his mother back ? sonny : no , i 'm just saying in general . he 's got a lot -- you know how he gets . carly : like i know how you get when you do n't want to tell me something . so , what is it ? sonny : um ... carly : okay . well , it 's not work 'cause he 's bartending , right ? sonny : mm - hmm . carly : mm - hmm . not michael 'cause they 're still talking , right ? sonny : mm - hmm . carly : i know it 's not kiki because they 're ... do not tell me that he is mixed up with that denise woman again . [ scene_break ] ava : you told franco about us ? morgan : hell , no . why would i tell that freak anything ? ava : well , then relax 'cause i did n't tell him , either . morgan : but he knows , denise . showed up at silas ' right after kiki left , okay ? he even pulled a frickin ' knife on me . ava : did he threaten you ? morgan : no . he pulled a butcher knife out of the knife block , started waving it around in the air , and said that he was gon na do something creative because i was cheating on kiki . does that sound like a threat ? ava : okay . what exactly did he say to you ? morgan : he saw julian and alexis at the metro court after he came from here . figured out real quick that you were hiding me in your room . ava : we -- we could 've been doing anything in there . you know ? you could 've been helping me hang some art or painting the walls , even . morgan : denise , you were in a robe , okay ? it 's not a far stretch for him to figure out that we were n't hanging pictures on the wall ! ava : i can handle franco . morgan : you 're not listening . he knows . he is threatening to tell kiki the truth . ava : no . he 's not gon na do anything that stupid . morgan : how can you be so sure ? [ scene_break ] silas : as usual , i have no idea what you 're talking about . franco : do n't do that . do n't act all superior . i know what you did . i know the truth . i know that you kidnapped baby avery corinthos to take her bone marrow to save ava 's life . silas : who told you that ? franco : ava . or denise . denise demuccio . i do n't know which is a bigger crime against humanity -- manipulating dna so that you can create a grating alias or framing nina for snatching a baby . silas : i never did anything to frame nina . franco : yeah , no , ava said that , but ... you sure as hell had no problem letting your ex - wife take the blame for something that you did . [ scene_break ] nina : i know this is coming out of left field , and that 's -- that 's very , very unfair . ric : are you that unhappy with me ? i mean ... nina : you 've been my rock for the last few weeks . and for that , i 'm so grateful . and i hope that we can remain friends . you 're so great . you 're such a great guy , ric . you 're so amazing , and you deserve the best , and -- and you deserve better than me . you deserve someone who loves you , and that 's not me . i do n't love you . i love franco . i love him . i always have . and i always will . and i was just too stubborn to admit it . and then you were rebounding to get over elizabeth . come on . and i used that to hide my feelings for franco , and i 'm so sorry . ric : look , i think you -- nina : no , let me finish . let me -- let me finish . i think we need to be honest with ourselves , and i think we need to be honest about our feelings , or we can never move on ... ever . do you understand ? ric : no , nina , i 'm afraid i do n't . nina : what ? ric : i 'm sorry , nina . i ca n't allow you to leave me . [ scene_break ] morgan : what makes you think that franco 's not gon na tell kiki about us ? 'cause the guy 's twisted . i mean , he likes making people suffer . ava : from what i understand , franco cares a lot about kiki . i thought i read somewhere that he thought he was her father for a while ? morgan : yeah , but , you know , things were just a mess back then . ava : well , my point is that , while franco might enjoy making certain people suffer , he 's never gon na want to hurt kiki . morgan : you did n't see him , denise . the guy was in overdrive . i have n't seen franco like that since after my mom 's wedding . ava : okay . it 's gon na be okay . i promise you that . if franco cares about kiki the way he says he does , he 's not gon na hurt her by telling her something she does n't need to know , especially if he thinks it was just a one - time mistake . morgan : but we both know that 's a lie , do n't we ? [ scene_break ] silas : i never wanted nina dragged into any of this . franco : oh , come on . i know all about the kindness and the consideration that you have for nina . you cheated on her . then she 's in a coma for 20 years . she wakes up , she 's understandably a little out of it , you have no compassion for her . you ca n't wait to unload her . i see no reason why you would n't frame nina for kidnapping if it saved you and your precious ava . silas : ava was dying ! she had cancer . i had to do everything i could to save her . i took an oath ! franco : yeah , the hippocratic oath . you know that that does n't mean that you 're swearing to be a hypocrite , right ? silas : you 're gon na lecture me on hypocrisy ? you ? franco : ava survived ! it was all done . why -- why could n't you confess then ? you could 've exonerated nina . silas : i could n't do that ! franco : no , you could n't . you could n't do that because then ava would go up the river , and you , too . silas : i know what i did was wrong . franco : silas clay ... did you just tell me that you did something wrong ? silas : what i did goes against everything i believe in , and ... i came here to tell your father everything . franco : why ? why now ? what 's changed ? why speak up now ? you let nina twist in the wind for months . silas : i ca n't live with the fact that ... i 'm the reason nina 's losing her grip on reality again . [ scene_break ] nina : listen , i know i 've had a lot of emotional problems in the last year , but , um ... i 'm doing really good now . i 'm thinking clearly , and this is what i want . ric : oh . i - i 'm glad that 's what you want , but you 're definitely not thinking clearly . nina : what are you doing with that ? ric : with this ? oh , i was gon na destroy this for you . nina : i do n't understand . ric : nina , the walls are closing in , okay ? your brother 's asking a lot of questions about your role in avery 's disappearance . this blanket is the only evidence that connects you to the crime . okay . with this piece of evidence gone , then there 's nothing that would connect you to the kidnapping . except my testimony . [ scene_break ] morgan : we can keep lying to everybody else , but we both know that this was n't some one - time mistake . ava : morgan ... morgan : just stop . ava : ... listen to me . morgan : please stop . ava : okay . so , it was n't a mistake , but that does n't make it right . i do n't want to hurt kiki . you know , she 's my ... she 's my family . morgan : um , i do n't want to hurt her again , either . we 've been through so much together . she 's been really great to me . ava : i know . morgan : but i ca n't stay away from you . ava : [ sighs ] morgan : i 've tried , and i just ca n't . ava : morgan , do n't -- [ scene_break ] carly : first ava and now her evil twin has her claws into our son ? sonny : i never said that morgan did anything -- carly : you did n't have to . i could tell . sonny : the situation 's under control . i had a long talk with morgan . it 's all gon na work out . carly : what 'd you say ? sonny : what i said was , if he goes anywhere near that woman , it 's serious trouble . carly : and our son 's really great at staying away from serious trouble . wonder where he gets that from . sonny : well , do n't look at me . that 's your side of the family . carly : what are you talking about ? what about your family ? sonny : you -- yeah , i guess so . i guess we 're both in trouble here . carly : no , it 's not that bad . laura : wow . nice to see that some things around here do n't change . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : you want to get married someday ? jason : i -- well , no . maybe . i was just saying that i could eventually -- [ doorbell rings ] jason : it could be a good thing -- hey , there 's the door . elizabeth : oh . i 'm gon na get it . monica , michael , this is a surprise . michael : i 'm sorry we did n't call . i was telling my grandmother your good news , and -- monica : and i just had to see my grandson . elizabeth : right . of course . come in . monica : thank you . elizabeth : come in . he 's upstairs with cameron and aiden . i 'll go get him . monica : well , jake , it 's good to see you again . jason : you too , dr. quartermaine . monica : no , no , no . remember ? i said it 's monica . jason : yes , ma'am . thank you . monica . got it . hey . how are you ? i , uh -- i stopped by your house the other night to see you , and your grandmother was kind enough to let me wait . monica : oh , excuse me . he is just being polite . i made this poor fellow sit and listen while i went on and on and on about my son . [ scene_break ] sam : jason ... is gone . and i think the closest that danny and little jake are gon na get to him is to know each other . patrick : yeah , no , i agree . but , i mean , as excited as you are about this for danny , which i completely understand , it 's a lot for elizabeth . it 's a little overwhelming . when i saw her , she seemed ... you know , i just think she needs a little bit of time . sam : i -- i get that . i really do . i actually started thinking about when i thought i had lost danny and the grief of losing a child . i mean , you know more than anyone -- it swallows you whole . so i understand why elizabeth is being protective of jake . but the way she was acting -- i do n't know . i just -- i feel like she just ... wanted off the subject , indefinitely . patrick : what makes you say that ? sam : i do n't know . it was the ... tone of her voice ... the look in her eye . i mean , i think she said all of the right things , but she could n't actually commit to a time . and like i said to you , when carly came in , it was like all she could do to get out of there as fast as possible . patrick : so you 're -- you 're worried about pressing the issue . sam : yeah . i am . i -- i do n't think i 'm in any position to do that . but you are . [ scene_break ] monica : oh , jake was incredibly gracious . i told him more than he ever would want to know about your uncle jason . jason : no . no , i meant it when i said it -- i really enjoyed our talk . monica : oh , please ! jason : oh , do n't believe me if you do n't want to , but i certainly hope that we get a chance to talk like that again soon . monica : well , if you are definitely serious , i would really like that . jason : well , good . monica : [ laughs ] jason : you are extremely lucky to have a woman like this in your family . michael : on that we agree . monica : and i think you two are both very lucky to be working together . and i do n't know what it is , but i think i could tell you anything . go figure . jason : [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] nina : you would testify against me ? ric : not willingly . but they could call me as a hostile witness . nina : you would tell them what i told you to punish me for leaving you ? ric : of course not . nina , come on . look , i 'm not gon na lie -- it does hurt me that you want to leave me . and i will miss you . but if you want to be with franco , i -- i 'm not gon na stop you . nina : thank you . ric : but -- but ... you got to be smart about this . nina : what do you mean ? ric : well , as long as i 'm married to you , the da ca n't compel me to testify against you . [ scene_break ] franco : what happened to nina ? what are you talking about ? silas : no , this is between me and the da . franco : no . no . you just said that nina 's losing her grip on reality . you need to tell me what 's going on . you need to give me details . silas : nina came to me . she told me she 'd been hearing a baby crying . there 's no baby . franco : okay . silas : nina told me she thinks it 's her guilty conscience telling her that she kidnapped avery and that she blocked it out . franco : you do know how fragile her grip on reality was before all this started , right ? silas : yes , i do . franco : and she 's worked really hard -- right ? -- to get to an okay place , to get to a healthy place , and you and ava , you just destroyed everything that she 's accomplished . silas : that was never my intent . franco : oh . she 's getting pointed at . everybody 's pointing at her , calling her guilty and crazy , and she 's none of those things . she 's just suffering . she 's just suffering . and -- and why ? for what ? she did n't even do anything . what -- what is this all for ? so that ava can live another day to screw morgan behind kiki 's back ? silas : what 'd you just say ? [ scene_break ] ava : no , this -- this is wrong . morgan : no , not now . [ scene_break ] patrick : are you asking me to try and convince elizabeth to let danny and jake be ... ? sam : hey , i do n't want to put a wedge in between your friendship . i just do n't think it 's appropriate for me to press the issue . and things get really tense with me and elizabeth every time we bring the subject of jason up . patrick : i think that 's kind of understandable because jason was able to commit to you when he was n't able to commit to elizabeth . but , i mean , that was a long time ago , so i 'm pretty sure she 's over it . sam : i do n't know . it was n't that long ago when elizabeth did something pretty extreme to hold on to jason . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : here he is . here 's my boy . monica : hi . my name is monica . elizabeth : this is one of your grandmothers . monica : mm - hmm . and , uh -- and this is your cousin michael . michael : nice to meet you , buddy . jake : hi . michael : hi . jason : [ chuckles ] monica : i can see he 's a man of few words , just like his father . [ scene_break ] laura : hey . it 's wonderful to see you . hi . carly : hi . sonny : likewise . you guys want to sit ? laura : yes , yes . carly : oh , that 'd be great . laura : you know something , i just had breakfast with elton , and we were reminiscing about when we used to run `` deception , `` and he definitely wanted me to send his best to you . carly : oh . that 's thoughtful . thank you . turns out running a hotel was , like , right up my alley . [ laughs ] laura : yes , you 've certainly succeeded . carly : thank you . sonny : it 's too bad we did n't get a chance to talk at luke and tracy 's engagement party . laura : yeah , uh ... i 'm sorry i was less than forthcoming about why i was really there . sonny : no , i -- you know , i get it . it was your son 's life on the line . luke told me the whole story when he was going out of town yesterday . carly : i ca n't believe he 's gone . i ca n't . a while back , he gave me this incredible compliment . he told me that i reminded him of his mother -- my grandmother . laura : really ? carly : yeah . and he said that she was a strong , beautiful woman and that so was i , and i was so honored . and now he takes off and leaves without even saying goodbye . [ both laugh ] laura : yeah . he did n't say goodbye to me , either . that 's just how luke is . carly : well , he left an amazing gift , huh ? he brought little jake home . laura : yes . we are so lucky to have a second chance with little jake , even if there are so many unanswered questions , thanks to helena . carly : yeah , i know what you mean . oh , my god . that little boy -- he looks and acts just like jason . it 's heartbreaking , really . it 's unfair that jason did n't live to see his son come back . laura : uh , yeah . yeah , it 's a shame . sonny : you all right , laura ? [ scene_break ] silas : are you telling me that ava and morgan are sleeping together ? franco : no , it -- it was just , like , a poor choice of words . um , i know that ava 's got the hots for the kid , so , figuratively , i know that she would really like to , you know -- to , um -- silas : there 's nothing figurative about it . morgan is an immature little twit who 's chronically unfaithful . ava is a complete narcissist who cares about nothing but herself , including her own children . how long have ava and morgan been cheating on kiki ? franco : all of ava 's shortcomings aside , i think we should focus on your confession and how that 'll help -- silas : are ava and morgan sleeping together ? ! yes or no ? ! franco : i 've never actually seen them having sex with my own eyes , so i really could n't say . silas : you know , for a world - class liar , you 're getting pretty crappy at it . franco : i resen -i resent that . silas : you should . i 'm out of here . franco : no , you 're gon na -- your confession . silas ! got to help nina ! you got to save nina ! silas ! [ scene_break ] ric : look , i 'm the only one who really knows that you think that you took avery . nina : no , not exactly . ric : this blanket is the only physical evidence , nina , that connects you to the kidnapping . once it 's gone , then we only have my testimony . because you and i are married , spousal privilege applies . court can not compel me to testify about anything that you and i have discussed . nina : how can i stay married to you when i 'm in love with franco ? ric : nina , you have -- you 're in so much trouble right now , okay ? this blanket and your -- your behavior is gon na point to you as the kidnapper . the only way to keep you out of pentonville , at this point , is for us to stay married . i mean , at least for the time being . nina : i just -- i - i just have to think . i - i 'm just so confused . everything is coming at me at once . i just have to think . [ baby cries ] nina : no ! no ! [ crying continues ] [ scene_break ] patrick : `` extreme `` is n't exactly an adjective that i would use to describe elizabeth . what did she do ? sam : uh , she 's one of your closest friends . i do n't want it to seem like i 'm ragging on her right now . patrick : i would n't worry about that . it does n't sound like you are . sam : okay . look , this is n't ... really public knowledge , but ... when danny went missing , um , a baby was found , and jason wanted to make sure that the baby was danny , so he had a dna test run . and elizabeth was the first one to see the results . she knew the baby was danny , and she also knew that danny would bring me and jason together , and she wanted him for herself , so ... she tampered with the test . she falsified the results . patrick : are you kidding me ? how -- how did i not know about this ? sam : i do n't -- i do n't know . but she only knew for like a day , and then she came clean . i guess her conscience got the best of her . patrick : i guess that 's not surprising . elizabeth is n't one to hold a secret like that for very long . [ scene_break ] monica : your cousin michael helped me pick this out for you . jason : thank you . monica : aww . you are more than welcome . michael : man , he still looks so much like jason . jason : yeah , i do n't think your mother was ready for that . carly 's a strong woman , no doubt , but when she saw him ... she crumbled . michael : yeah , the way my mom feels about jason , she , uh -- she misses him every day . so do i . and with little jake being back , seeing how alike they are , it 's ... it makes you mad that jason 's not here . but , um , there 's no point in thinking like that , though . jake 's home . at least we have him back in our lives . jason : yeah . let 's see -- he 's got the quartermaines , the spencers , the webbers , danny morgan -- this kid has more family in his life than he knows what to do with . michael : yeah , he deserves it , after what helena did . jason : yeah . she basically did to him what she did to me -- took him from everybody that loved him . i 'm glad he made it back . [ clears throat ] michael : actually , speaking of the cassadines , have you , um -- do you have any update on nikolas ? jason : hey , look , i have told you before -- [ clears throat ] -- there 's a conflict of interest where elizabeth and nikolas are concerned , so she does n't know about this investigation , so we really ca n't ... michael : okay . i understand . but i have n't heard from you in a couple days . jason : okay . all right . sam and i did find something . apparently , nikolas had a prior relationship with hayden barnes . michael : the woman that ric hired to pretend to be your wife . jason : mm - hmm . and apparently , before she was shot , hayden claimed to know who i really am . [ scene_break ] laura : i 'm sorry . i 'm a little distracted . sonny : well , i do n't blame you . i mean , jake 's back home , but you got -- luke 's gone , lucky 's gone . and i 'm -- you know , i was a little surprised . i 'm sorry that lucky did n't stick around . laura : oh , me too . but you know , lucky 's a restless soul . he was born with all of these really big questions about faith and meaning and -- you know ? he just ca n't stop searching , and we love him , and got to let him go . carly : yeah , but i just -- i ca n't help feeling bad for elizabeth and the boys . especially little jake . i mean , a man drops out of the sky and tells little jake that he 's his father and takes him away from the only life he 's ever known and puts him in a new house with a new family and then just disappears . laura : are you saying that you think that jason would never have done that ? carly : i know he would n't have . laura : oh , okay . well , i 'm not gon na disagree with you , but i know , in my heart , that lucky was doing what he thought was best for elizabeth and those kids . carly : well , cameron and aiden are used to it , but little jake -- this is all new to him . laura : lucky knew that little jake was going to be surrounded by love and have the support of a family . sonny : laura 's right . jake 's got his mother and his brothers , carly . carly : well , let 's not forget his namesake . [ scene_break ] michael : hayden knew the truth about you all along ? jason : i 'm not sure . she slipped into a coma before she could tell us what really happened . michael : what about ric ? does he know who you really are ? jason : apparently , ric was in the dark about my true identity . michael : okay . so , ric brings hayden to port charles , and she just happened to know nikolas . jason : well , according to nikolas , he had met hayden in europe , and they had some sort of affair , and then , uh , she just showed up at his doorstep , looking for help , after everything that went down at the nurses ' ball . michael : that seems pretty convenient , do n't you think ? jason : [ sighs ] maybe . i do n't -- hey . elizabeth : look what i found . another one ! jason : look , hayden has a lot of dirty laundry , so if she and nik share a secret , it could be the key to bringing him down . michael : do n't get me wrong here . i think it 's great that this connection between hayden and nikolas could help me get elq back , but do n't you think you 're missing the big picture here ? jason : how do you mean ? michael : have you considered the possibility that nikolas also knows who you really are ? [ scene_break ] laura : little jake 's namesake ? carly : oh , i do n't mean literally . i was referring to elizabeth 's boyfriend , jake doe . laura : oh . yes . i 've heard of him . right . carly : well , he 's a good friend of mine , and he 's a really nice guy . sonny : yeah , he 's a great guy . carly : the point i 'm trying to make is that he 's strong , he 's steady , and he 's really kind . and little jake 's crazy about him . i saw them together at the hospital the other day . sonny : mm . laura : uh ... you know what , you guys ? i really have to get going . carly : i 'm sorry . sonny : no , hey . laura : but it has been so nice to see you both . sonny : so , you gon na stick around port charles for a little bit ? laura : yeah , that 's the plan . sonny : all right . well , then you can come to our wedding . laura : you 're getting married again ? sonny : [ laughs ] carly : yeah . i 'll save you the math . fifth time . laura : oh , my goodness . wow . i admire your perseverance . sonny : well , you know what ? it 's not gon na be a big thing . just , like , a small ceremony with , you know , family and close friends , so you 'll be getting an invitation in the mail . laura : thank you , sonny . thank you so much . i hope i can make it . bye , you two . carly : bye . sonny : so , um ... i like laura . she 's got a good soul . carly : yeah . sonny : good person . carly : uh - huh . sonny : what 's -- what 's the matter ? carly : i do n't know . just felt weird , you know ? felt like something was troubling her . i do n't know . maybe it 's ... luke , lucky , or ... something else . [ scene_break ] jason : yeah , i -- i 've considered that nikolas may know my real identity , but , uh ... he claims helena never told him . michael : we 're talking about the cassadines here . kind of known for lying . jason : yeah , well , look , there 's a very large difference between raiding a corporation and stealing someone 's life . no matter what he has done to your family or elq ... sam just does n't think that he would hide who i truly am . michael : what do you think ? elizabeth : this is kind of intense . what are you guys talking about ? jason : [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] sam : um ... for 24 hours or so , elizabeth got down in the dirt . but thankfully , she is still guided by a pretty strict moral compass . how else would she have come clean about what she did so quickly ? patrick : i guess that 's true , but , i mean ... it 's shocking . sam : yeah . i mean , i 'm not thrilled about it , but i 've made peace with it and put it behind me . patrick : must have been difficult . sam : time helps . and i 'm in no position to judge because when i thought i was losing jason to elizabeth , i did some things that i am definitely not proud of . i just do n't want my past with elizabeth to affect danny being able to know his big brother . i mean , little jake and danny are jason 's sons . they have every right to be in each other 's lives . patrick : i 'll talk to her . sam : it 's not asking too much ? patrick : i 'll do anything for you . sam : thank you . [ scene_break ] ric : come on , nina . come on . [ baby crying ] ric : it 's okay , nina . nina : no .

[ sighs ] i 'm sure she 's okay . but on the off chance she is n't -- patrick : we need to try and find her . felix : you need to try to find her . patrick : no , you 're right . it 's -- it 's my responsibility . felix : i would gladly take the responsibility , but she 's not returning my calls . i did n't even want to bring you in on this except as a last resort . i 'm not sure she 's gon na even want to hear from you . but i am sure you 're the one person she ca n't ignore . call her .

[ scene_break ] robin : a lot has happened since i 've been gone . anna : of course . robin : babies have been born . people have died . i saw sam at the church . she 's a widow . i mean , jason 's son has to grow up without his father . anna : yeah . i know how much jason meant to you . robin : i just ca n't believe he 's gone . anna : but you know it was n't because of the brain tumor . you know that . your serum saved his life . robin : only for faison to shoot him in the back and dump him in the harbor . anna : i know . robin : and edward quartermaine -- i - i honestly thought he would outlive us all . anna : he lived long enough to save emma 's life . robin : what do you mean ? anna : he sacrificed himself . when jerry had taken this whole town hostage , when he poisoned the water supply , there was one antidote left to save one person . and tracy , she appropriated the dose -- well , she basically stole it -- to give to edward . but he chose to give it to emma . robin : oh , my god . anna : he loved emma as much as he loved you . it 's not all grim , robin . just look at the ring on uncle mac 's finger and the smile on felicia 's face . if those two can find their way back together again after all they 've been through , so can you and patrick . [ scene_break ] mac : emma saw her first . she , uh , ran down the aisle and jumped into her mother 's arms . we all just stood there , unable to believe what was right in front of us . but it was robin , alive and beautiful and holding on to her little girl .

[ scene_break ] georgie : maxie , you have to let this go . you are not responsible for what happened to robin . maxie : i do n't care what anyone says . i know the truth . i caused the gas leak and the lab explosion . robin is dead , and that 's on me . i have to make it right . georgie : but , maxie , there 's nothing to make right . robin is n't dead . maxie : i hope you 'll understand . georgie : no , i do n't understand . are you hearing me ? maxie : do n't be mad . georgie : you 're not hearing me , are you ? you ca n't even see me . are you so caught up in your own grief , you ca n't even see what 's right in front of you ? maxie : [ sighs ] please , georgie , forgive me . [ scene_break ] robin : i want to believe you , mom , but it 's just so difficult to not feel like an interloper who 's coming in to steal the life that patrick and emma and sabrina have built together . anna : you had this life . this was your life . these were the people you loved . you are allowed to want this back . robin : i 'm not sure it matters what i want . if patrick did n't want sabrina , then he would have broken it off with her last night . anna : listen to what you 're saying right now . would patrick be the man you love so much if he could so easily cut ties with a blameless woman who has supported him all this time that you could n't , through no fault of your own ? robin : you 're right . you 're right . he was about to commit his life to her . he had said his vows to her . it was completely unrealistic to think that he would just say , `` sorry , `` and walk away . anna : that 's what i was trying to say last night , that there is time . you do n't have to make these decisions immediately . robin : but they do have to be made eventually . and i ca n't say that i would blame patrick if in the end he decides that i 'm his past and sabrina is his future . [ scene_break ] shawn : you 're related to carlos rivera ? sonny : not by blood . but maybe . i do n't know . look , until i know for sure , he ca n't be touched . shawn : so what 's the connection ? sonny : my first wife .

[ clears throat ] i know that riveras are a dime a dozen in puerto rico , but carlos is from there , he 's connected -- shawn : but you do n't want to take any chances . sonny : i mean , it 's slim . i know it 's slim that carlos could be ... lily 's family . but i owe it to her to be positive about what i 'm doing here . so i 'm not gon na make a move unless i know for sure .

[ scene_break ] ellie : the news will perk maxie right up . and damian , too . he 's told me so much about robin 's masterful skills in the lab . actually , she 's become sort of an inspiration to me . mac : well , you 're not the only one . everyone loved robin . well , almost everyone . ellie : what ? who could possibly have a problem with robin finally coming -- oh , sugar . sabrina .

[ scene_break ] patrick : wait , w - what are you talking about ? sabrina 's missing ? since when ? felix : last night . patrick : but i left you at the church with her . felix : yeah , brad and i went to go check on her , but sabrina said that she needed a minute to get out of her dress and collect herself . when i came back , she gave us the slip . patrick : so nobody talked to her ? she did n't show up at your place at any point ? felix : i went to taylor first thing , and she said she never came in . i 've called , i 've e - mailed , i 've texted nonstop , but no word . i 've checked everywhere , but there 's no sign of her . [ scene_break ] carlos : we did n't sleep together . in the biblical sense . we -- we slept in the same bed , but it was totally innocent . sabrina : oh , my god . how innocent could it have been if i had no clothes on ? carlos : you had the spins . i was afraid you were gon na get sick . i could n't have you rolling around , puking in your wedding dress . and you were in no condition to take it off , so ... sabrina : so you helped me ? carlos : i had my eyes closed . mostly . sabrina : [ sighs ] carlos : come on . any -- any glimpses were purely unintentional . hey , sabrina ... i would never take advantage of you . you know that about me , right ? sabrina : i do n't even know what i know anymore . what i was so sure of ... has been ... completely upended . i knew robin was dead . but even though you told me otherwise ... i refused to listen to you . and now i 'm paying the price . [ scene_break ] ellie : mr. scorpio , i really hope you wo n't hold damian 's actions against him . i mean , i know how it sounds . mac : like spinelli is being cruel and unfeeling . ellie : you know he 's neither of those things . he really did not want to turn maxie away . but if he had allowed her to see their daughter , to hold her , he would have lost custody . and then that little girl would n't have a mother or a father . [ scene_break ] maxie : this is really the only way . i mean , i ca n't ... i ca n't follow that court order . i know myself . i will just keep going back to see my daughter , no matter what the judge says . but if i do that , i 'm gon na continue to hurt spinelli and our baby , and i can not let that happen . i have to do this . i have to take myself out of the equation and -- and protect everyone . it 's the best thing to do . it 's the only thing . georgie : not if i have anything to say about it . [ scene_break ] mac : look , she 's probably christmas shopping and has n't even checked her phone . yeah , i will . soon as i hear from her . okay . love you . ellie : so felicia has n't heard from her either . mac : no . ellie : ugh , i can tell you 're really worried . mac : [ sighs ] in case you have n't noticed , maxie has a tendency to make poor decisions . you know , she lives moment to moment . she ca n't envision what her life 's gon na be like six months from now . that 's why i need to see her . i have good news , incredible news that i think will give her an example to live by . ellie : oh , well , in that case , i - i hope it 's , like , really , really good news . mac : [ chuckles ] it could n't be better . almost two years ago , i lost my niece , robin . ellie : oh . yeah , yeah . maxie 's often spoken about her . i know they were really close . mac : well , last night , i got the shock of my life . robin 's alive . [ scene_break ] maxie : i know what you 're gon na say . `` stop . think this through . you 're -- you 're making a mistake . do n't do it , maxie . `` georgie : for once , you 're right . do n't do it , maxie . put the pills down . maxie : i 'm not making a mistake . i 'm heading off a disaster and atoning . georgie : by killing yourself ? maxie , if you want to atone , then stick around and atone . if you take those pills , you 're only gon na hurt the people who love you -- mom and mac and spinelli ... especially your little girl . maxie : i know that you think i am avoiding my responsibility . but i would be righting a wrong , something i did and never paid for . going away would make up for it . it would make up for what i did to robin . [ scene_break ] anna : i think you 're getting a little ahead of yourself here . robin , you 've had nearly two years to think about the day that you would come home . patrick -- he has had no time to absorb even the shock -- robin : i know . i know i 'm not being fair . anna : well , you 're being human , which i kind of prefer . robin : patrick asked me to go home with him last night . i was the one that said no , because he did not break things off with sabrina . so ... i guess all i can do now is wait to hear from him . anna : listen ... when you were taken from us , patrick went to a really dark place . he was literally sick without you . he could n't even get out of bed . i , frankly , was concerned that he was ever gon na be himself again , let alone find joy . robin : he did . he found it with sabrina . anna : sabrina 's a lovely girl . she is . she really supported him through a lot and helped him find his way back to himself , get himself together , for emma 's sake a - as well as for his own . but sabrina 's not ... the woman that he changed his life for . she 's not the one he married . or the one who gave him his beloved daughter . she 's not you . really , i honestly think patrick will find his way back to you , sweetheart . i promise you that . robin : i wish i was as sure of that as you are , mom . [ scene_break ] patrick : have you talked to all her friends ? i mean , maybe she stayed with -- with ellie or lucy or somebody . felix : no and no . i 'm telling you , no one 's seen or heard from her since last night . i even tried to file a police report , but it has n't been 48 hours , so they were less than helpful . patrick : right , well , she 's not one to hurt herself . i do n't want to -- felix : no , no . of course not . [ sighs ] i 'm sure she 's okay . but on the off chance she is n't -- patrick : we need to try and find her . felix : you need to try to find her . patrick : no , you 're right . it 's -- it 's my responsibility . felix : i would gladly take the responsibility , but she 's not returning my calls . i did n't even want to bring you in on this except as a last resort . i 'm not sure she 's gon na even want to hear from you . but i am sure you 're the one person she ca n't ignore . call her . [ scene_break ] sabrina : [ sighs ] i should have listened to you . carlos : no , you should n't have . i 'm your ex . i came here trying to win you back , and you told me , made it very clear you were n't interested , you met somebody else , and i kept right on going after you . i was being a jealous , possessive jerk . sabrina : you 're not a jealous , possessive jerk . carlos : i can be . i have been . sabrina : if i 'd listened to you , patrick would n't have left me standing at the altar while he ran to robin , while he -- while he kissed her right in front of me . [ cell phone ringing ] sabrina : that 's my phone . carlos : patrick ? [ ringing continues ] carlos : well , what are you gon na do ? patrick : come on , sabrina . pick up . [ cell phone rings ] felix : hello ? sabrina : first off , i 'm okay . felix : what -- thank god ! what the hell took you so long to check in ? i was worried sick . sabrina : i know , felix . i 'm sorry . i 'm just -- i 've -- i was -- i was really out of it , and i only now just saw all the missed calls . felix : [ sighs ] i thought you 'd passed out in a ditch . sabrina : well , you got half of that right . i was passed out . but not in a ditch . i spent the night with carlos . [ scene_break ] shawn : so we 're going after carlos rivera ? sonny : maybe . [ sighs ] but i 've got some options . the point needs to be made that the jeromes ca n't come after my territory . i tolerated their presence , but my patience is running thin . shawn : well , say the word . i 'd be happy to deliver the message . sonny : i ca n't really burn rivera just yet . not until i get some facts straight . shawn : well , he 's julian jerome 's lieutenant and probably his enforcer . i mean , what else is there to know ? sonny : i need to know if carlos rivera is -- is family . [ scene_break ] robin : a lot has happened since i 've been gone . anna : of course . robin : babies have been born . people have died . i saw sam at the church . she 's a widow . i mean , jason 's son has to grow up without his father . anna : yeah . i know how much jason meant to you . robin : i just ca n't believe he 's gone . anna : but you know it was n't because of the brain tumor . you know that . your serum saved his life . robin : only for faison to shoot him in the back and dump him in the harbor . anna : i know . robin : and edward quartermaine -- i - i honestly thought he would outlive us all . anna : he lived long enough to save emma 's life . robin : what do you mean ? anna : he sacrificed himself . when jerry had taken this whole town hostage , when he poisoned the water supply , there was one antidote left to save one person . and tracy , she appropriated the dose -- well , she basically stole it -- to give to edward . but he chose to give it to emma . robin : oh , my god . anna : he loved emma as much as he loved you . it 's not all grim , robin . just look at the ring on uncle mac 's finger and the smile on felicia 's face . if those two can find their way back together again after all they 've been through , so can you and patrick . [ scene_break ] mac : emma saw her first . she , uh , ran down the aisle and jumped into her mother 's arms . we all just stood there , unable to believe what was right in front of us . but it was robin , alive and beautiful and holding on to her little girl . [ sighs ] the next hour or so was a blur . you know , i mean , a lot of hugging and crying and ... just a lot of happiness . ellie : oh , wow . well , i have heard nothing but wonderful things about robin from everyone at the hospital who knew her and worked with her . and damian was very fond her , too . i mean , he is gon na be so thrilled to know she 's still alive . mac : so will maxie , if we can just find her . [ scene_break ] georgie : maxie , you have to let this go . you are not responsible for what happened to robin . maxie : i do n't care what anyone says . i know the truth . i caused the gas leak and the lab explosion . robin is dead , and that 's on me . i have to make it right . georgie : but , maxie , there 's nothing to make right . robin is n't dead . maxie : i hope you 'll understand . georgie : no , i do n't understand . are you hearing me ? maxie : do n't be mad . georgie : you 're not hearing me , are you ? you ca n't even see me . are you so caught up in your own grief , you ca n't even see what 's right in front of you ? maxie : [ sighs ] please , georgie , forgive me . [ scene_break ] robin : i want to believe you , mom , but it 's just so difficult to not feel like an interloper who 's coming in to steal the life that patrick and emma and sabrina have built together . anna : you had this life . this was your life . these were the people you loved . you are allowed to want this back . robin : i 'm not sure it matters what i want . if patrick did n't want sabrina , then he would have broken it off with her last night . anna : listen to what you 're saying right now . would patrick be the man you love so much if he could so easily cut ties with a blameless woman who has supported him all this time that you could n't , through no fault of your own ? robin : you 're right . you 're right . he was about to commit his life to her . he had said his vows to her . it was completely unrealistic to think that he would just say , `` sorry , `` and walk away . anna : that 's what i was trying to say last night , that there is time . you do n't have to make these decisions immediately . robin : but they do have to be made eventually . and i ca n't say that i would blame patrick if in the end he decides that i 'm his past and sabrina is his future . [ scene_break ] shawn : you 're related to carlos rivera ? sonny : not by blood . but maybe . i do n't know . look , until i know for sure , he ca n't be touched . shawn : so what 's the connection ? sonny : my first wife . [ sighs ] rivera was her maiden name . her father was hernando rivera , a major player in puerto rico . i inherited his -- his , uh ... his territory . shawn : your first wife -- she was killed , right ? sonny : yeah , she was pregnant . she was -- we were gon na have a child . we went out to celebrate . we were having a good time . we were drinking . she did n't drink , but i did . and then she -- she went out to the car . and her father planned to kill me , and he killed his daughter instead . shawn : hmm . sonny : she was very special , and she deserved a lot better than ... than what i gave her . look , you know what ? [ clears throat ] i know that riveras are a dime a dozen in puerto rico , but carlos is from there , he 's connected -- shawn : but you do n't want to take any chances . sonny : i mean , it 's slim . i know it 's slim that carlos could be ... lily 's family . but i owe it to her to be positive about what i 'm doing here . so i 'm not gon na make a move unless i know for sure . [ scene_break ] felix : you did what ? ! sabrina : [ sighs ] felix : you slept with carlos ? sabrina : it 's a long story , but no , nothing happened . unless you count a night of binge drinking and the hangover that follows . felix : what 'd i tell you about you and tequila ? sabrina : i know . i 'll let you lecture me later , okay ? i just -- i wanted to let you know that i was okay . felix : you might want to pass that information on to patrick . he lost it when i told him that you were missing . sabrina : he did ? felix : of course ! the man 's baby mama might be back from the dead , but that does n't mean he 's stopped loving you . sabrina : [ voice breaking ] thank you . can you do me a favor ? felix : do you have to ask ? sabrina : do n't tell patrick i 'm with carlos . patrick : i left a message for sabrina . just got to straight voicemail . who 's on the phone ? sabrina : promise me , felix . patrick : felix , is that sabrina ? where is she ? [ scene_break ] ellie : the news will perk maxie right up . and damian , too . he 's told me so much about robin 's masterful skills in the lab . actually , she 's become sort of an inspiration to me . mac : well , you 're not the only one . everyone loved robin . well , almost everyone . ellie : what ? who could possibly have a problem with robin finally coming -- oh , sugar . sabrina . [ scene_break ] sabrina : felix , whatever you do , please do n't tell patrick where i 've been . okay ? felix : understood . got to go . patrick : was that sabrina ? felix : yeah . false alarm . she 's , uh , she 's fine . patrick : where has she been ? felix : oh , you know , clearing her head , driving . patrick : all night ? felix : she crashed at joyce 's . patrick : joyce ? felix : joyce the nurse . she works in pediatrics . patrick : yeah , but i thought you said you talked to all her friends , felix . felix : yeah , but i did n't think to include joyce , because she and sabrina had a falling out . patrick : she did n't mention anything about a falling out . felix : yeah , because it was over something so stupid . uh ... sabrina offered to take joyce out for a nice dinner , and when they did , joyce ordered soup . and then joyce said -- you know , she insisted that that was n't dinner and that sabrina owed her another dinner , and , uh , sabrina protested -- it was a whole to - do . patrick : apparently . felix : yeah . uh , so they 're over at joyce 's having breakfast , regrouping . everything should be , uh ... joyce : dr. drake ? patrick : joyce . joyce : i thought you were supposed to be on your honeymoon . patrick : yeah , you 're not the only one . can you excuse us for a second , please ? joyce : sure . patrick : spill . [ scene_break ] sabrina : i need to go . carlos : stay a while . sabrina : i ca n't . carlos : come on , talk to me . sabrina : i ca n't . but thank you so much for letting me crash here last night and ... and for taking care of me . carlos : i have a feeling you 'll be needing more of that . come on , where are you going ? sabrina : i 'm gon na find patrick . carlos : sabrina . sabrina : he 's -- he 's looking for me . he just needed time to think . carlos : he needed time to build his courage . sabrina : for what ? carlos : to tell you what he could n't tell you last night . sabrina : what ? carlos : your relationship is over . [ scene_break ] robin : i got to get out of here , get some air . anna : it 's really stuffy in here . why do n't we go down to the waterfront ? we could have some brunch , and i could take you for a drive . i 'll tell you , as police commissioner , one of the things i love is the fact that i can drive as fast as i want . nobody can stop me . there 's this stretch of road -- i could take you there . it 's really cool . robin : i love that the main perk of your job is that you can drive as fast as you want to . anna : yeah . that 's our secret , though . i do n't want to be a bad example to my officers . robin : mom , would you ... would you mind if we did that another time ? i just -- anna : you need to be alone . robin : i - i just need to walk around , clear my head a bit . anna : i do n't want to crowd you . robin : that 's impossible . anna : i 'm very greedy for you right now . i love you so much . i 'm so thankful that you 're alive . i am . i could shackle myself to your leg right now , follow you around . but since we marched little emma off to school , i should probably tough it out , right ? robin : [ sighs ] mom , thank you . anna : for what ? robin : for looking after patrick and emma and ... for rescuing me and keeping me sane . you 're my hero , mom . you always will be . anna : and you are mine . you 're my hero .

[ scene_break ] maxie : dear family and friends , this is no one 's fault but my own . it 's my choice , and i 'm very sorry if it causes you pain . that 's not my intention . i 'm doing this to make things easier for everyone . being here causes too many problems . all i do is hurt people . and all i do is hurt . being kept from my daughter is too difficult to bear . and trying to be with her will only make things worse for her . this is the only way out . spinelli , take care of our daughter . tell her i love her . and whatever you do , do n't let her be like me . raise her to be like you -- kind and bold and confident and loyal and big- hearted and unique . to my daughter , i love you . that may be hard to believe , since i 've chosen to leave you , but sometimes not all decisions make sense right away . i may be gone but i 'll be with you always . be good to your father . indulge your grandmother when she tells you about her aztec heritage . and always take grandpa mac 's advice . p.s . -- when it comes to jewelry and makeup , less is more .

bill : nothing i can repeat in court . brooke : well , whatever it is , make sure you leave steffy out of it . bill : it was n't her doing . i reverted to who i was 20 years ago . i just set my sights on what i wanted , and that 's all that mattered . but i do n't want to be that guy again . i found a better life . maybe it found me . i do n't want to lose that , brooke . will you help me ?

they know us for the couture line . and the bedroom / intimates line . all we have to do is boot up the lingerie and sell the hell out of it . and we do n't have to make that many changes . we can change some of the designs , change the fabric . and that will give us a huge margin . that 's why i think hope for the future should be just ... put on the back burner for a little bit . and we can get back to basics . ridge : okay . i hear you . steffy : but ? ridge : [ sighs ] but can you -- can you honestly tell me that you 're not doing this because you 're getting back at liam 's new bride ? steffy : dad , here 's what i can tell you . i need it more than she does . katie : so ?

brooke : that 's for the people that you hurt to decide , not you . bill : [ sighs ] you know , i -- i cringe when i realize i 've become the one thing i said i never would . my father . my oldest son hates me . wyatt barely tolerates me . and -- and my youngest son , it 's like he does n't even want to be around me . you are the one person i know who 's gone through cannon - fire - level drama and scandal and come out of it on the other side unscathed . mostly . how do you do that , brooke ? how do i fix it ? brooke : well , you have to just take it . and you have to show up , and you have to keep saying that you were wrong , and then let them get mad and angry and slap you around . you know , and then you have to come back and do it all over again until they believe that you are sincere . you can turn this around , bill . bill : i have always been the biggest proponent of visualization , when you see it in your mind 's eye , and you can make it happen .

hope : [ sighs ] okay . maybe you 're right . if the line grows more slowly than i had hoped , i will survive . i do n't have to be an overnight success . liam : uh , do n't look now , but you already kind of are . hope : [ chuckles ] in a way . but , you know , to be honest , that is what bothers me about this . i mean , hope for the future has so much momentum right now , and ... but you know ridge . what steffy wants , steffy gets . liam : okay , see , now you 're projecting . and that 's not fair . i mean , you -- you saw . you saw how pleased ridge was with your line . he 's cl -- he 's clearly just trying to do what 's best for forrester . hope : he may intend to -- liam : no , st -- do n't -- do n't do that to yourself . steffy has been nothing but supportive , okay ? she 's not gon na go , like , sabotage you behind your back . ridge : you said you took yourself out of this -- what 'd you call it ? -- horse race . so should we be discussing this ? steffy : hope 's mining a new market . young women who ca n't afford the couture line . more power to her . but do we really want to turn our backs on the clientele we spent decades grooming ? they know us for the couture line . and the bedroom / intimates line . all we have to do is boot up the lingerie and sell the hell out of it . and we do n't have to make that many changes . we can change some of the designs , change the fabric . and that will give us a huge margin . that 's why i think hope for the future should be just ... put on the back burner for a little bit . and we can get back to basics . ridge : okay . i hear you . steffy : but ? ridge : [ sighs ] but can you -- can you honestly tell me that you 're not doing this because you 're getting back at liam 's new bride ? steffy : dad , here 's what i can tell you . i need it more than she does . katie : so ? now what ? thorne : i do n't know . wait around for ridge to tell me if i still have a job . katie : [ sighs ] come on . i mean , he said he was just gon na scale back one of the lines , not get rid of it completely . so -- so , worst - case scenario is that he scales back hope for the future and he brings you on to help out with couture . thorne : yeah , well , that has n't been offered yet , and i do n't expect it will . but do n't worry . i always land on my feet . katie : well , just so long as , whatever happens , you give me the heads up if you 're going back to paris . thorne : are you kidding ? that 's not gon na happen . katie : well , it has before . thorne : we have a custody battle to win , remember ? katie : yeah . bill : i keep saying i 'm sorry over and over again , but nothing changes . when will it be enough ? brooke : that 's for the people that you hurt to decide , not you . bill : [ sighs ] you know , i -- i cringe when i realize i 've become the one thing i said i never would . my father . my oldest son hates me . wyatt barely tolerates me . and -- and my youngest son , it 's like he does n't even want to be around me . you are the one person i know who 's gone through cannon - fire - level drama and scandal and come out of it on the other side unscathed . mostly . how do you do that , brooke ? how do i fix it ? brooke : well , you have to just take it . and you have to show up , and you have to keep saying that you were wrong , and then let them get mad and angry and slap you around . you know , and then you have to come back and do it all over again until they believe that you are sincere . you can turn this around , bill . bill : i have always been the biggest proponent of visualization , when you see it in your mind 's eye , and you can make it happen . [ sighs ] but i 'm not so sure anymore . brooke : [ scoffs ] bill , be sensible . this is n't about skyscrapers and yachts . this is about love . and your boys love you very much . and that love will never die . sometimes it can get silenced , and it can disappear for a while , but it 's just waiting for a sign . a sign to know when it can come back out again . bill : look , there 's -- there 's virtually no time . i mean , the court might really take my son away from me . brooke : okay . what do you want me to do ? bill : will you talk to katie ? brooke : [ scoffs ] do n't you think our lives are tangled enough than for me to go and propose your case to my sister ? bill : no , you 're right . you 're right . i should n't have asked . i - i just thought that you 're the one person who could get through to her . brooke : nobody can know about this conversation . bill : understood . brooke : that means katie . bill : katie who ? brooke : especially ridge . bill : the last thing i want to do is cause any trouble for you , brooke . steffy : is thorne working on some new sketches ? hope : heh . yeah , your uncle . nothing is a problem . you make a suggestion , 10 minutes later , it 's in your hand . never seen a designer so ... i do n't know . what 's the opposite of tortured ? steffy : yeah , i get it . my father 's process includes breaking things and alienating everyone in a 100-yard radius . hope : hmm . really ? i never noticed . steffy : have you talked to my father ? hope : not since the meeting . steffy : so do n't you think you 're jumping the gun a little ? hope : well , ridge did n't say he was killing either of the lines . why ? do you know something i do n't ? did you talk to him ? steffy : briefly . but i am co - c.e.o . hope : well , i thought you decided not to play that card . steffy : you ca n't ask me to stop knowing what i know about the company , hope . hope : can i ask you to please not use your influence with your father against me ? steffy : i 'm not against you . you 're starting something bold and exciting , and people love working with you . hope : thank you . steffy : but you 're a new bride . and you have a baby on the way . do n't you want to take a step back ? enjoy your new family time at home ? hope : i do n't have to go away to do that . but clearly you 'd like me to . steffy : okay . i should n't have said anything . hope : no , you did n't have to . i 've had that old feeling all day . feeling of being in competition with you . steffy : i mean , you already won . hope : did i ? steffy , -i thought we had your blessing . steffy : you do . and i made a decision . i 'm standing by it . i do n't regret it . but it came at a cost . hope : and i do n't doubt that . but now you want me to return the favor and leave the field to you and the intimates line ? steffy : yeah , i do . hope : because ... ? steffy : do n't you think it 's fair ? you have the future i was building , the man i was building it with . and i 'm honestly happy for you . but i need something of my own . forrester creations is a place where i can lose myself , hope . and you 're doing a great line with hope for the future , but do n't you think you should just step back and let people miss it ? hope : so you want me to tell ridge that i am not interested in expanding the line ? steffy : yes . and he will thank you for it . brooke : nobody can know about this conversation . especially ridge . bill : the last thing i want to do is cause any trouble for you , brooke . ridge : ah , there 's my little chickadee . hi . brooke : oh , i 'm nobody 's chickadee . ridge : [ sighs ] okay . well , you seemed upset when you left , and you still seem a little upset now . brooke : well , there was a little tension . so i went to il giardino and had a latte and a sinful beignet . ridge : 'cause powdered sugar calms your nerves ? brooke : no , not really . [ sighs ] ridge : please tell me you understand that this is not about hope 's line or steffy 's line . this is about our company . brooke : look , i do n't want to get all historical on you , but brooke 's bedroom , my line , was very successful before steffy took over the intimates . ridge : which is why it 's still relevant today . brooke : you 've already decided , have n't you ? ridge : maybe you 're right . maybe we should n't have this conversation . brooke : i did n't say that . ridge : no , you just walked out . brooke : because i do n't understand how you could pit these two girls against each other when they finally have some kind of peace . ridge : i 'm not pitting anyone against each other . i 'm the c.e.o . of this company . i 'm trying to do the right thing . brooke : and i 'm sure you talked to the co - c.e.o . oh . you did . ridge : yes , of course i did . [ stammers ] yes . and you heard her this morning . she took herself out of the running . brooke : after she told you what to do . ridge : is this gon na come between us ? really ? brooke : my god . hope never had a chance , did she ? ridge : you 're not being fair to me at all . brooke : i just want an honest answer , ridge . which one of our daughters are you gon na kick to the curb ?Summarize.[/INST]with steffy watching and listening , hope tells liam that she has led a privileged life so she has no reason but to be grateful . they may have to scale back her line so steffy wo n't have to . liam assures her that ridge has not made his decision yet . ridge continues to make his case about cutting one of the lines and katie quips that it almost is like whose daughter deserves it more . brooke and bill continue their conversation when they met up at the restaurant . he assures her that he loves will . she knows that but says katie feels he has too many commitments to be a full time father . katie and thorne play frisky in the office . he says he has not been jumped like that since high school . she brings it up again that will is always disappointed when bill shows up . bill tells brooke that all he did twenty years ago was set his sights on getting ahead . he does not want to be that man anymore . hope tells liam that she is okay ; she does not have to be another overnight success . she is sure that ridge will pick steffy . he tells her not to do that to herself . ridge has been nothing but supportive . ridge tells steffy this is not a horserace , so she does not have to take herself out of it . she says she thinks hope could put her line on the backburner for a little bit . she needs this more right now than hope does . and it is not about revenge .</s> | 5,299 |

[ scene_break ] michael : you 're right , spencer . i do n't have all the facts . i actually do n't have any concrete proof against you at all , but what i do have are questions , like when i told you that i thought the name of the surgeon who screwed up my dad 's operation was snyder . i poured my guts out to you that day . you never once mentioned to me that you worked with him , that your wife was assisting him . spencer : no , i had no idea that your father was the patient that paige had harmed , and i 'd never worked with snyder . michael : you worked in the same hospital . you must 've known the guy . spencer : michael , do you have any idea how many different hospitals around the world that i 've worked in ? i mean , there must 've been at least 10 different doctors named snyder . michael : yeah , but only one who supposedly killed a cop with your wife assisting -- your wife , who really did it . spencer : it was a cover up , was n't it ? they covered it up . they even kept it from me . i mean , it 's not something she 's just going to run up to me and -- and admit to me , now , is it ? michael : why not ? you 're her husband . she trusted you . spencer : no , she did n't . but we 're not here to talk about my marriage . look , mike , you know , i 've -- i 've tried to be more than just a mentor here . i 've tried to be a friend as well , and now that friendship is being questioned all because of some unfounded accusations . michael : accusations that not just my brother -- not just my brother -- are making , but paige -- paige , your ex - wife . spencer : she 's going to be indicted for manslaughter in atlantic city , michael . of course it 's only , you know , obvious . i mean , it stands to reason she would try to shift the guilt someplace else . i 'm the logical choice . michael : oh . that 's what she 's doing . spencer : come on , man . i thought we were friends , you know . i thought you knew me better than this . michael : it seems to me that the people who know you best -- paige , who was your wife , david , who is your brother , those people , the people who know you best -- they seem to end up in a lot of trouble . [ scene_break ] blair : the last thing you must remember was that first injection . you died , todd . if john mc bain had just gotten there earlier and -- well , i guess it 's a miracle that he got there when he did . thank god spencer was there to save you -- [ alarm ] blair : what ? todd . oh , my god . todd , stop . help me . help me ! [ scene_break ] john : so the bodies that we thought were margaret and her baby were actually a pair from a morgue in kentucky . hugh : what ? how 'd they end up at llantano lake ? john : do n't know . it says here that they -- they were claimed the day before margaret was supposedly killed . we 'd actually need the morgue files to know who they really are . hugh : hey , an old law school buddy of mine landed in louisville . he clerked for some big judge out there . maybe i can -- maybe he can speed things along . i do n't know if i can reach him this late , though . john : it 's going to be a long night .

how the hell can you be late ? the hospital 's only 10 minutes away from here . e.j . : i know that . nicole was n't at the hospital . sydney was born at the clinic . stefano : what ? i donate an entire wing at that hospital and my granddaughter is born in a shack ?

maggie : you 're gon na break it off , daniel . the affair is over . daniel : well , i think you 've made some kind of mistake . maggie : really ? i saw you . chloe admitted it . so where do we go from here , doctor ? that she was your patient , the fiancée of your lover 's son ? daniel : look , this really is n't the place to have this -- maggie : oh , i know . you like things behind locked doors , do n't you ? would n't want anyone to know what you are really like ? daniel : i think you should go . maggie : you want me to go , but i wo n't . not until i 'm sure you 're breaking this off . you see , while you obviously do n't give a damn about lucas or that poor girl 's life , i do . sami : so , you have two big brothers and a big sister and a wonderful grandmother and a whole family that loves you so much . you just have one ... grandfather that we have to be very careful about . that 's all . and , um ... and i love you , and i love your brothers and your sister very much . [ baby fussing ] and doing what 's best for you sometimes means ... that i have to leave you . i know that you do n't understand this and that you ... might never understand this ... but leaving you is what 's best for you right now , and , uh , so i think i 'm gon na have to go away for a little while . and -- and sister theresa 's gon na take care of you . so it 's just gon na be a little while before you get to meet your brothers and your sister . i 'm afraid it might be a long while . nicole : oh , this is what i was afraid of . all this yelling and drama . it 's over , get it ? e.j . found me , we brought our baby -- our very healthy baby -- home , so we can just forget about last night . stefano : nicole . do you really think that is right , hmm ? do you think that is right for other women in the same situation ? nicole : what ? stefano : that clinic . what happened to this baby has to be because of the inadequate facilities and personnel at that place . do n't you think it is our duty to see that that place is investigated ? nicole : no . stefano : nicole , why do i have the feeling that there 's something that you 're not telling me ? bo : i killed a man last night . max : right . bo : no matter how bad or crazy he was , i took a human life . max : right . bo : and hope shot kayla , and it 's gon na take her some time to absorb that . max : yeah , well ... maybe -- maybe if kayla gets better , you know , you and hope , you guys can take off somewhere . i mean , chelsea and i , we can take care of ciara . it 's no problem , man . bo : hold on , hold on . i appreciate that . that 's nice of you , but , um ... i ca n't get away right now . max : why not , huh ? [ cellphone rings ] bo : this is why not . brady . yeah , i know . no , i understand . i kind of saw it coming . yeah , right . later . max : that was n't good , was it ? bo : no . it was n't good at all . chelsea : i know that you do n't really want to talk about it , but kayla understands . you were trying to save her life . hope : when she looked at me ... she trusted me . i made the wrong decision . chelsea : you did n't have a way of knowing . hope : that 's not completely accurate . chelsea : excuse me ? hope : nothing , never mind . sweetheart , listen , i really -- i need to get to work , but thank you . i mean it . chelsea : hope , what 's going on with you and my dad ? nicole : you 're like one of those balloon clowns . i knock you over and you keep bouncing right back . stefano : first of all , i am not a clown . and secondly , i keep bouncing back because i know that there is something upsetting you . nicole : yes . yes , i am upset because we 're right back where we started , stefano . i have my own life . you are not allowed to dissect it . that is my daughter right there , and if we continue to live here , and i mean if , then e.j . and i are her parents , so if we do n't have our -- our -- e.j . : sovereignty . nicole : thank you . yes , that . if we do n't have that , i leave . e.j . : me too . nicole : and the plain truth is i would rather live in a mobile home than have you breathing down my neck . stefano : [ chuckles ] i see that motherhood has softened you , has n't it ? nicole : i mean it , stefano . stefano : i know you do . of course , i think i 'm probably crazy , but that 's one of the reasons why i like you . chloe : nicole . oh , hi . i 'm sorry . stefano : no , it 's fine . i was just about to leave . we 're just ... letting nicole have a little patience with me . [ chuckles ] e.j . : have i ever told you how much i love it when you put him in his place ? nicole : oh . mm ! e.j . : all right , gramps , come with me . we have work to discuss . stefano : all right . e.j . : chloe , the beautiful baby is right over there . chloe : oh . can i see her ? nicole : yes .

'cause trust me , you really do n't know what 's going on . and in any case , this is none of your business . maggie : you 're wrong about chloe and lucas . daniel : no , i am not . maggie : unh - unh , unh - unh . they have a shot at being very happy together , and trust me , i 'm not gon na let you take that chance away from them . now , you get out of her life or i 'll take care of the situation myself . nicole : so ... how many times ? chloe : nicole . nicole : i 'm not being nosy .

[ rattling ] nicole : ooh . chloe : the way that maggie looked at me , it just made me feel sick inside . nicole : you do n't think she would tell lucas , do you ? that would hurt him too much . chloe : maybe she thinks it would hurt him more to marry someone like me . nicole : okay , you need to stop that . so you slept with daniel . what , now you 're not good enough to marry lucas ? lucas -- we 're not talking about mr . perfect here . chloe : well , he 's been perfect to me and i have n't been to him . nicole : i 'm sorry . and i 'm sorry you 're so unhappy . chloe : i do n't think that you get that i really do love lucas . and a life with him , it would n't seem like a prison . in fact , it would probably be like a dream come true . nicole : well , then , make it happen . do whatever it takes to get what you want . i wanted e.j . i wanted this baby . and do you think i liked having to -- chloe : having to what ? what are you talking about ? nicole : just about -- about what you should do about maggie -- i think you should go to her and you should talk to her . chloe : no , that 's not what you were talking about . nicole ... what did you do ? philip : the loser here -- that would be you . nicole : i - i need one last favor and then everything will be perfect for e.j . and me . maggie : this is n't easy , lucas , but it just simply has to be said . | nicole has a run - in with stefano when he demands an investigation of the clinic she supposedly gave birth at . she throws a fit and threatens to move if stefano does n't let her and her child be . ej backs her up and stefano agrees to drop the issue . sami prepares to say goodbye to grace , promising to come back for her and saying she has to keep her safe from the dimeras for now . chloe tries to talk to daniel about maggie , but he gets an emergency page . maggie later confronts him , demanding that he break off the affair with chloe or she 'll tell lucas . daniel refuses , saying the matter is none of her business . chloe confides in nicole about daniel , saying that she does really want to be with lucas , despite her trouble staying away from daniel . nicole advises her to go after what she really wants and then nearly spills her secret about sami 's baby . lucas tells ej about sami coming home and lucas and stefano both independently express concern about how sami and nicole will react to being around one another . ej thinks everything will be fine since he says he does n't have feelings for sami anymore . hope continues to feel guilty about kayla 's shooting . she refuses to speak to bo , and internal affairs calls to begin the investigation in to her actions at the hospital . chelsea and max both speak to bo and hope separately , and they fear that things are only going to get worse for the two . | <s>[INST] e.j . : so , now the sun 's up , you finally decide to get some sleep , do you ? oh , i do n't know . you keep your mummy and daddy up half the night , and then [ clicks tongue ] out you go . let me tell you something , young lady , if you think this entire house is just gon na stop what it 's doing and start revolving around you ... you 're absolutely right , but do n't tell anybody . god , you are so beautiful . there 's a bunch of boys out there who have no idea what is gon na hit them . none . hey . nicole : hi . e.j . : thought i 'd bring her down here and give you a chance to sleep . have you been crying , sweetheart ? nicole : yeah . i 'm sorry . it 's just every time i see you with her , it just makes me so happy . e.j . : come here . you did a very good job with our baby . she looks just like you . nicole : no , she has your eyes . she looks just like you . sorry . e.j . : it 's okay . well , i do n't think that blond hair and fair skin came from me .

stefano : yeah . nicole : oh , i was -- i was just saying she looks like e.j . um , have you had breakfast yet ? do you want me to ask mary -- stefano : no , no , no . i 've already eaten . wait a minute . we should be waiting on you . nicole : me ?

nicole : he , um -- e.j . : was n't there . stefano : what ? e.j . : it 's a long story , but i should have been there when sydney was born . she was n't breathing . nicole : but once -- once he got there , she was fine and just to be safe , we had a pediatrician -- stefano : wait a minute . wait a minute . what do you mean that you were late ? how the hell can you be late ? the hospital 's only 10 minutes away from here . e.j . : i know that . nicole was n't at the hospital . sydney was born at the clinic . stefano : what ? i donate an entire wing at that hospital and my granddaughter is born in a shack ? no wonder she had problems . no wonder things go wrong . nicole : oh , stefano , please , would you stop ? just stop . bo : hey , man . max : hey . what are you , uh , doing down here ? bo : playing hooky . i had a couple meetings this morning -- blew them off . max : right . talked to ma . kayla had a good night . i mean , seems everything 's going good . bo : yeah , that 's eat . i talked to ma , too . max : talk to hope ? bo : ma 's gon na call her . max : ma ? why ma ? bo : i 'm kind of in the doghouse right now . hope does n't want to talk to me . hope : oh ! oh , thank god . that 's -- that 's such good news . thank you so much for calling . no , i 'm -- i 'm fine . really , i -- please give kay my love . bye . she had a good night . chelsea : well , that 's a relief . hope : yeah . peachy . i did n't kill my own sister - in - law . chelse , listen , honey , it 's an understatement to say that i am not good company this morning . chelsea : i understand that . but i also kind of do n't care . hope , i - i know how it feels to feel really , really bad about something and wonder if people are ever gon na look at you the same way again . hope : not people . kayla . maggie : i 've been waiting for you . daniel : oh , well , kayla 's stable , and i just told caroline to go home and get some rest . maggie : yeah , i know that , but that 's not what we 're gon na talk about . we 're gon na talk about you and chloe . daniel : excuse me ? maggie : you 're gon na break it off , daniel . the affair is over . daniel : well , i think you 've made some kind of mistake . maggie : really ? i saw you . chloe admitted it . so where do we go from here , doctor ? that she was your patient , the fiancée of your lover 's son ? daniel : look , this really is n't the place to have this -- maggie : oh , i know . you like things behind locked doors , do n't you ? would n't want anyone to know what you are really like ? daniel : i think you should go . maggie : you want me to go , but i wo n't . not until i 'm sure you 're breaking this off . you see , while you obviously do n't give a damn about lucas or that poor girl 's life , i do . sami : so , you have two big brothers and a big sister and a wonderful grandmother and a whole family that loves you so much . you just have one ... grandfather that we have to be very careful about . that 's all . and , um ... and i love you , and i love your brothers and your sister very much . [ baby fussing ] and doing what 's best for you sometimes means ... that i have to leave you . i know that you do n't understand this and that you ... might never understand this ... but leaving you is what 's best for you right now , and , uh , so i think i 'm gon na have to go away for a little while . and -- and sister theresa 's gon na take care of you . so it 's just gon na be a little while before you get to meet your brothers and your sister . i 'm afraid it might be a long while . nicole : oh , this is what i was afraid of . all this yelling and drama . it 's over , get it ? e.j . found me , we brought our baby -- our very healthy baby -- home , so we can just forget about last night . stefano : nicole . do you really think that is right , hmm ? do you think that is right for other women in the same situation ? nicole : what ? stefano : that clinic . what happened to this baby has to be because of the inadequate facilities and personnel at that place . do n't you think it is our duty to see that that place is investigated ? nicole : no . stefano : nicole , why do i have the feeling that there 's something that you 're not telling me ? bo : i killed a man last night . max : right . bo : no matter how bad or crazy he was , i took a human life . max : right . bo : and hope shot kayla , and it 's gon na take her some time to absorb that . max : yeah , well ... maybe -- maybe if kayla gets better , you know , you and hope , you guys can take off somewhere . i mean , chelsea and i , we can take care of ciara . it 's no problem , man . bo : hold on , hold on . i appreciate that . that 's nice of you , but , um ... i ca n't get away right now . max : why not , huh ? [ cellphone rings ] bo : this is why not . brady . yeah , i know . no , i understand . i kind of saw it coming . yeah , right . later . max : that was n't good , was it ? bo : no . it was n't good at all . chelsea : i know that you do n't really want to talk about it , but kayla understands . you were trying to save her life . hope : when she looked at me ... she trusted me . i made the wrong decision . chelsea : you did n't have a way of knowing . hope : that 's not completely accurate . chelsea : excuse me ? hope : nothing , never mind . sweetheart , listen , i really -- i need to get to work , but thank you . i mean it . chelsea : hope , what 's going on with you and my dad ? nicole : you 're like one of those balloon clowns . i knock you over and you keep bouncing right back . stefano : first of all , i am not a clown . and secondly , i keep bouncing back because i know that there is something upsetting you . nicole : yes . yes , i am upset because we 're right back where we started , stefano . i have my own life . you are not allowed to dissect it . that is my daughter right there , and if we continue to live here , and i mean if , then e.j . and i are her parents , so if we do n't have our -- our -- e.j . : sovereignty . nicole : thank you . yes , that . if we do n't have that , i leave . e.j . : me too . nicole : and the plain truth is i would rather live in a mobile home than have you breathing down my neck . stefano : [ chuckles ] i see that motherhood has softened you , has n't it ? nicole : i mean it , stefano . stefano : i know you do . of course , i think i 'm probably crazy , but that 's one of the reasons why i like you . chloe : nicole . oh , hi . i 'm sorry . stefano : no , it 's fine . i was just about to leave . we 're just ... letting nicole have a little patience with me . [ chuckles ] e.j . : have i ever told you how much i love it when you put him in his place ? nicole : oh . mm ! e.j . : all right , gramps , come with me . we have work to discuss . stefano : all right . e.j . : chloe , the beautiful baby is right over there . chloe : oh . can i see her ? nicole : yes . [ baby voice ] ooh . hey , you . you put those feet down . sydney , little missy . ooh , she 's so sleepy . hold on . oh , yes . sydney , this is chloe . now , she is a very bad influence , but she is so much fun . and when you get bigger , we are all gon na go shopping for shoes and bootees . [ normal voice ] you want to hold her ? is n't she pretty ? chloe , what 's wrong ? chloe : everything -- lucas , daniel . nicole : daniel ? is that the guy that -- oh , my god . chloe : we ca n't stop . i love lucas , but i ca n't stay away from daniel . nicole , what am i gon na do ? announcer : how do you understand why those who work their way to the top , will risk a fall all the way down ? making sense of it all , it begins right here . `` global national . `` news understood . daniel : you 're obviously upset and tired . maggie : and right . daniel : and you 're not going to help by interfering . maggie : no . you 're not gon na get your way if i interfere . that poor girl is lost . you have her so confused and so guilty . daniel : do you really think that chloe would be this unhappy , this torn up , if the choice were obvious ? that if she and lucas were really , i mean really meant to be together , that she would feel like this ? maggie : do you hear how arrogant you are ? daniel : i am just -- you know what ? i should n't even be talking to you about this . 'cause trust me , you really do n't know what 's going on . and in any case , this is none of your business . maggie : you 're wrong about chloe and lucas . daniel : no , i am not . maggie : unh - unh , unh - unh . they have a shot at being very happy together , and trust me , i 'm not gon na let you take that chance away from them . now , you get out of her life or i 'll take care of the situation myself . nicole : so ... how many times ? chloe : nicole . nicole : i 'm not being nosy . [ chuckles ] okay , maybe i am a little , but it was n't just once , was it ? firm resolve , moral rectitude -- they do n't work , do they ? you ca n't end it , can you ? okay , honey , you [ clears throat ] you probably do n't want to hear this , but i do n't think this is just about daniel or lucas . chloe : well , then , what is it about ? nicole : being free . lucas : hey , e.j . how 's it going ? e.j . : fine . thank you , lucas . nicole had the baby last night , a little girl . lucas : nice . good for you . congratulations . nicole 's okay ? the baby 's okay ? e.j . : yeah , they 're both fine . thanks . lucas : any idea when sami 's coming home ? e.j . : i do n't know , lucas . i would imagine as soon as they catch that killer chap . lucas : ah . e.j . : what ? lucas : well , i guess , you know , you 've been a little busy with the baby and nicole and everything , but bo shot that guy . sami 's coming home . e.j . : wow . that 's , um ... terrific news . johnny 's gon na be thrilled . i 'm sure allie is . lucas : yeah , yeah . what are you thinking ? e.j . : [ sighs ] i 'm just thinking about how ... profoundly samantha 's been able to affect my life and ... how she 's not gon na be able to do that anymore . lucas : would n't be too sure about that . bo : no , no . uh , i 'm on my way home now , but i 'm gon na need you ready to move right away . yeah . later . max : who was that ? what 's the problem , man ? bo : i ca n't tell you just yet . i got to get home . hey , listen , man , um , i 'm glad we bumped into each other . it was good to talk to you . max : yeah , man . you know , take care , and take care of hope . bo : gon na do my best . e.j . : what exactly is that supposed to mean , lucas ? lucas : well , i do n't want to bring you down or anything , especially after the baby . e.j . : why would samantha coming back bring me down ? lucas : well , you and nicole , you 're together now . you and sami share custody of johnny . e.j . : oh , and samantha and nicole , they hate each other . lucas : right . yeah , they do . you know , i could be wrong . i could be wrong . there could be peace in the middle east . e.j . : i would n't worry about samantha , lucas . she 's not the threat she used to be . lucas : okay . sami : oh , sweetie . oh , little princess grace . saying goodbye to you is gon na be the hardest thing that i have ever , ever had to do . but sister theresa is gon na take really good care of you . she is gon na be so fun for you . [ baby fussing ] i know . i know . we 're not gon na cry , though , are we ? you and i , we 're not gon na cry , are we , sweetheart ?

[ telephone ringing ] bo : do n't pick that up . hope : what ? why ? bo : let it go to voicemail . hope : why ? is something wrong with kayla ? your mother said that she was -- bo : no , it 's not about kay . it 's , um -- it 's internal affairs . hope : do n't waste time , do they ? bo : they want to see you right away . i 'll take you down there . hope : well , is n't this were you 're supposed to say it 's standard ? a cop shoots a civilian , it gets investigated . it 's procedure , right ? bo : fancy face , this , is , uh ... let 's go . hope : just when i was having such a beautiful day . daniel : you 're tired and angry . is this is a good time to make that decision ? maggie : just tell me it 's over , daniel . no , wait . tell me and mean it . and then i wo n't say a word to anyone . daniel : to tell you would be easy , maggie . and it certainly would make things simpler for chloe . but i , uh ... i wo n't do it . now , i do n't know what 's gon na happen . i do n't know . but i do know this is none of your business . [ elevator doors open ] maggie : grand talking to you , daniel . stefano : [ chuckles ] the most interesting call . e.j . : really ? stefano : ugh . no wonder the irish have to put liquor in their coffee . e.j . : actually , i have a rather interesting piece of news myself . stefano : that samantha brady is no longer in need of protection . e.j . : why is it that you insist on knowing everything first , hmm ? stefano : pity that she can come back , huh ? i mean , there 's been a certain kind of -- i do n't know -- tranquility in salem for the past few months . e.j . : i 'm sure johnny 's missed her . stefano : and ... nicole ? e.j . : [ sighs ] nicole has me . she has sydney . and if samantha wants to come around to the house and pick up johnny , she does n't exactly have to be there , does she ? stefano : i supposed you 're right . still ... e.j . : still what ? stefano : [ sighs ] two women , two babies , one father -- does not sound to me like the makings of a domestic tranquility . e.j . : father , we have been through this . samantha and i share a son . that 's it , okay ? [ rattling ] nicole : ooh . chloe : the way that maggie looked at me , it just made me feel sick inside . nicole : you do n't think she would tell lucas , do you ? that would hurt him too much . chloe : maybe she thinks it would hurt him more to marry someone like me . nicole : okay , you need to stop that . so you slept with daniel . what , now you 're not good enough to marry lucas ? lucas -- we 're not talking about mr . perfect here . chloe : well , he 's been perfect to me and i have n't been to him . nicole : i 'm sorry . and i 'm sorry you 're so unhappy . chloe : i do n't think that you get that i really do love lucas . and a life with him , it would n't seem like a prison . in fact , it would probably be like a dream come true . nicole : well , then , make it happen . do whatever it takes to get what you want . i wanted e.j . i wanted this baby . and do you think i liked having to -- chloe : having to what ? what are you talking about ? nicole : just about -- about what you should do about maggie -- i think you should go to her and you should talk to her . chloe : no , that 's not what you were talking about . nicole ... what did you do ? philip : the loser here -- that would be you . nicole : i - i need one last favor and then everything will be perfect for e.j . and me . maggie : this is n't easy , lucas , but it just simply has to be said .Summarize.[/INST]nicole has a run - in with stefano when he demands an investigation of the clinic she supposedly gave birth at . she throws a fit and threatens to move if stefano does n't let her and her child be . ej backs her up and stefano agrees to drop the issue . sami prepares to say goodbye to grace , promising to come back for her and saying she has to keep her safe from the dimeras for now . chloe tries to talk to daniel about maggie , but he gets an emergency page . maggie later confronts him , demanding that he break off the affair with chloe or she 'll tell lucas . daniel refuses , saying the matter is none of her business . chloe confides in nicole about daniel , saying that she does really want to be with lucas , despite her trouble staying away from daniel . nicole advises her to go after what she really wants and then nearly spills her secret about sami 's baby . lucas tells ej about sami coming home and lucas and stefano both independently express concern about how sami and nicole will react to being around one another . ej thinks everything will be fine since he says he does n't have feelings for sami anymore . hope continues to feel guilty about kayla 's shooting . she refuses to speak to bo , and internal affairs calls to begin the investigation in to her actions at the hospital . chelsea and max both speak to bo and hope separately , and they fear that things are only going to get worse for the two .</s> | 6,611 |

brooke : ahh , i just want you to know how much i love you . and how grateful i am that we 're going through this pregnancy together . we are still going through this together are n't we ? ridge : yeah . do you need to ask that ? brooke : i was just wondering if all those things that your mother said about me kind of got to you . ridge : logan , i am as committed to you and this little baby as ever . okay ? we 're going to raise our kids and live the life we were meant to live and if anybody does n't like that -- to hell with them . brooke : well , at least i can always tell the kids there were a couple of weeks in there , somewhere , where your mother did n't hate me . ridge : oh , do n't worry . she 'll come around . especially after we have this test and she realizes the baby is in fact mine . brooke : and that 's only a couple of days away . ridge : the sooner we can put this behind us the better . that 's for sure . you know what , my mother is such a sucker for kids . she 's probably back knitting that blanket for you right now . samantha : what was brooke thinking ? stephanie : she was n't all those tears and all that grief . she thought ridge was dead . boy , that was a riveting performance . and i thought , you know i thought that i saw in that woman 's heart , for the first time in my life . and i said to my self , she has feelings that really , really run deep . samantha : i 'm so sorry . i know how tough this must be on you , and if there 's anything that i can do -- stephanie : well , ridge is going to need you . he 's going to need help especially if this baby turns out not to be his . he 's going to need all the help he can get . brooke : you 're the last person i expected to see here . nick : hi . brooke : hi . you 're moving up in the world or are you just getting tired of chuck 's ?

then why are you having a paternity test ? ridge : to pacify everyone else . see , brooke and i really want to avoid having to answer all these questions like this . all the time . for the rest of our lives ! jackie : seems to me all you 're doing is avoiding . you refuse to acknowledge the possibility that brooke could have conceived the day that she and nicky made love . it 's -- ridge : but that 's not what they did , jackie . you see , they just ah -- shared some kind of comfort together . okay . that 's all it was . jackie : i do n't mean to imply that it was anything more or that my son does n't deeply regret what happened , because he does . but the fact remains , ridge , brooke is pregnant and nick could be responsible for that . ridge : jackie , what is it you want from me ? jackie : to hear you say that if the child is his , you 're prepared to step aside and let him raise it . nick : well , i 'm -- really glad everything worked out for you . brooke : not all of it . nick : you said that everything seemed to -- brooke : it 'll never be totally right again until you 're back in our lives . mine and ridge 's . nick : what are you talking about ?

ridge : yeah . i know it 's not your typical assignment , but i figure you of everybody could do the best job possible . naturally i want the best for my kid . samantha : naturally . ridge : yeah . maybe you could come up with a black and white theme , or even like a starscape or -- samantha : maybe a nautical motif just in case ? i 'm sorry . i swore i was going to keep my mouth shut , but how can i pretend that there 's nothing wrong when there is ? ridge : well that 's great . i see mother wasted no time getting the word out there . samantha : she 's worried about you , ridge and no wonder . what are you doing ?

ridge : he 's angry . frustrated . the police wo n't see the shooting as just an accident . brooke : is there an update on deacon 's condition ? ridge : well , he made it through surgery , and that 's all i know . brooke : oh , honey . why do n't you come out to lunch with me ? take your mind off of these things for a little while . ridge : i 'd love to , but i have a meeting in a few minutes with jackie . brooke : i 'll miss you . ridge : and that was for what ? brooke : ahh , i just want you to know how much i love you . and how grateful i am that we 're going through this pregnancy together . we are still going through this together are n't we ? ridge : yeah . do you need to ask that ? brooke : i was just wondering if all those things that your mother said about me kind of got to you . ridge : logan , i am as committed to you and this little baby as ever . okay ? we 're going to raise our kids and live the life we were meant to live and if anybody does n't like that -- to hell with them . brooke : well , at least i can always tell the kids there were a couple of weeks in there , somewhere , where your mother did n't hate me . ridge : oh , do n't worry . she 'll come around . especially after we have this test and she realizes the baby is in fact mine . brooke : and that 's only a couple of days away . ridge : the sooner we can put this behind us the better . that 's for sure . you know what , my mother is such a sucker for kids . she 's probably back knitting that blanket for you right now . samantha : what was brooke thinking ? stephanie : she was n't all those tears and all that grief . she thought ridge was dead . boy , that was a riveting performance . and i thought , you know i thought that i saw in that woman 's heart , for the first time in my life . and i said to my self , she has feelings that really , really run deep . samantha : i 'm so sorry . i know how tough this must be on you , and if there 's anything that i can do -- stephanie : well , ridge is going to need you . he 's going to need help especially if this baby turns out not to be his . he 's going to need all the help he can get . brooke : you 're the last person i expected to see here . nick : hi . brooke : hi . you 're moving up in the world or are you just getting tired of chuck 's ? nick : well , neither actually , i just had a little lunch with my mother today . brooke : oh , i thought she had an appointment with ridge . nick : i 'm early . you want to sit down ? brooke : sure . nick : okay . well , i have n't really heard anything , so , i just assume you 're on speaking terms with forrester . brooke : more than that actually . he forgave me . i do n't know what it is you told him that night , but he came home and wanted to put the whole incident behind us . nick : well good . and you have ? brooke : yeah , it looks that way . ridge is looking forward to the baby and we 're just anticipating that everything is going to go the way we want it to . nick : well , there 's no reason to believe it wo n't . brooke : no . no reason at all . ridge : how is my favorite stepmother ? married life treating you okay ? jackie : oh , yeah everything i could have hoped for and more . ridge : what are you doing here when you could be off on some extravagantly outrageous honeymoon with massimo , huh ? do n't tell me my workaholic father has you back at the salt mines already . jackie : no , actually . i 'm not here on business . ridge : oh you 're not . why ? jackie : i 'm here to talk to you about the baby that brooke 's having and to find out what you plan to do . if it turns out to be nick 's . ridge : jackie , i ca n't save you a lot of time here . we do n't even need to have this conversation , because nick is not the baby 's father . jackie : really . you know that for sure ? then why are you having a paternity test ? ridge : to pacify everyone else . see , brooke and i really want to avoid having to answer all these questions like this . all the time . for the rest of our lives ! jackie : seems to me all you 're doing is avoiding . you refuse to acknowledge the possibility that brooke could have conceived the day that she and nicky made love . it 's -- ridge : but that 's not what they did , jackie . you see , they just ah -- shared some kind of comfort together . okay . that 's all it was . jackie : i do n't mean to imply that it was anything more or that my son does n't deeply regret what happened , because he does . but the fact remains , ridge , brooke is pregnant and nick could be responsible for that . ridge : jackie , what is it you want from me ? jackie : to hear you say that if the child is his , you 're prepared to step aside and let him raise it . nick : well , i 'm -- really glad everything worked out for you . brooke : not all of it . nick : you said that everything seemed to -- brooke : it 'll never be totally right again until you 're back in our lives . mine and ridge 's . nick : what are you talking about ? brooke : nick , you 're his brother . he loves you . nick : oh , please . i pretty much fixed that did n't i ? brooke : i 'll never believe that that connection is over . i i just ca n't believe that . nick : well then maybe you 're kidding yourself . i do n't want to do this . do me a favor , will you . if you see my mother , tell her i came by . brooke : do n't . do n't you walk away like this . nick : brooke . brooke : i refuse to let it end this way . samantha : i 'll do whatever i can for ridge . you know that ?

jack : [ groans ] [ door opens ] adam : hey ! you look great ! you know , a couple of years ago , i was in a room just like this , hospital bed just like this . for all i know , it was this room . and you came in , visited me . do you remember what you said to me ? jack : no . adam : you said , `` junior , the world is a much more interesting place with you in it . `` jack : that does n't sound like me . adam : you said it . you said it . you told me you 'd do everything in your power to keep me in it . jack : that was before . adam : yes . it was before . yes , i know that . it meant a lot to me , jack . it meant a lot to me , and now here you are in a similar position . jack : no , no , no . it 's not the same thing . you were in a hospital bed because you took a bullet and saved victor 's life . i 'm here because he saved mine . adam : victor saved you ? jack : ever hear anything so crazy in your life ? adam : uh , yeah , actually , i have . the next time you talk to your brother billy , why do n't you ask him how he was able to get out of the burning building alive ? jack : what 's that -- adam : never mind . listen . you need your rest . and i do n't want to arouse any suspicion . so , glad you 're okay . jack : adam . things were kind of touch - and - go there for a while , so i may have said something to victor about you . adam : h - hold on a second . you told victor i was alive ? jack : i do n't think i got that far , but he 's on full alert right now . adam : okay . well , here 's the thing . i really do n't think you need to worry about that too much because victor 's still under the rubble . jack : what do you mean ? the rescue crew -- adam : recovery is actually what they call it now -- recovery , not rescue . jack : oh , my god . it 's hard to imagine a world without victor in it . adam : i tell you what , jack . the world is a much more interesting place with you in it . get some rest . glad you 're okay . paul : okay . anderson here says it 's rough getting into the ravine . there 's not much in the way of footing . so , it may be a while before they 're able to get him out . kevin : when do they think they 'll have some answers ? summer : is that -- paul : well ... mariah : oh , my god . summer : oh , my god ! oh , my god ! thank god ! i was so scared ! austin ! austin ! kyle ? paul : all right , thanks , nichols . so , kyle , what the hell are you doing up here ? summer : you know , i do n't understand . kyle : it was supposed to be a surprise -- showing up for abby 's party . then the storm hit , and there was nowhere to take shelter . mariah : so , this is -- this is kyle . summer : yeah , this is jack 's son . he 's my friend . paul : all right . so , how did you end up in the ravine ? kyle : my car got stuck . i tried to walk out on foot , but ... look . it was a stupid idea , coming out here without telling anyone . i know . i started to worry i 'd be stuck out here till the spring thaw . summer : but you 're here , okay ? and you 're safe , and i 'm so glad . okay ? but , you guys , where is austin ? the longer he 's out here -- kyle : wait a second . austin ? your husband is missing ? summer : yeah . he could be anywhere . i 'm scared , kyle . nick : so , the roof caves in , and all dad has is a concussion ? hardheaded does not begin to cover it . victoria : there 's no hidden damage ? we have some additional tests ordered , but ... nick : but for now just a concussion and possible nerve damage ? nikki : can i see him ? victor : i 'm right here , and i 'm gon na get out of this place . abby : dad , if they say you need more tests , then you do n't have a choice . victor : this is ridiculous . victoria : you do n't always have a choice because you 're not leaving . nikki : now , victor , no fighting about this . let them keep you overnight just to be sure . victor : that 's nonsense ! nikki : what room is he in ? we 're at capacity because of the storm . mr. newman will be sharing a room . victor : are you serious ? our apologies , mr. newman . victor : doc , i paid for half this damn hospital . i ca n't have my own room ? victoria : okay , dad , you 'll be very cozy . victor : oh , really ? nick : yeah , dad . come on . you 're a man of the people . victor : oh , yeah . watch , son . victoria : you 're alive , and we 're all very relieved . victor : yes , i am . so , why am i here ? nick : just humor us , okay ? abby 's a wreck . abby : please ? victor : i 'm sorry . are you really ? abby : yes . victor : that 's silly . i 'm okay . okay . let 's go . bye - bye ! nikki : bye - bye . abby : excuse me . nikki : i 'm going to go to talk to the doctor . victoria : mom , i need to talk to you . billy : we 'll be able to hear connor if he wakes up . chelsea : i have a feeling he might sleep for a week , though . and i just might join him . did you check in on johnny and katie ? billy : yeah , yeah . they 're both happily crashed out over at victoria 's with the nanny . and they still do n't know about their grandfather . chelsea : i feel terrible for victoria and her family . but i just want to feel relieved for one night . is that allowed ? maybe just an hour ? billy : so , it 's weird , right ? chelsea : what ? billy : the way that gabe reacted when i told him about jack . chelsea : yeah , what a jerk . i mean , to be relieved that somebody survived ? what is wrong with him ? billy : no , no . it 's just something does n't fit . the guy is hiding behind his smile and a handshake . he 's hiding something big . chelsea : you 're right . he is . billy : what are you not telling me ? nick : hey ! you 're okay . sage : hi . yeah . i 'm -- i 'm okay . i 'm in one piece . nick : and you did n't even haul off and slug me . you helped me out at the bar all night . i let a roof cave in on your head . sage : no , well , listen . my apartment caught on fire . so , the night would have been crappy , anyway . nick : okay . sage : how are you ? nick : i 'm good . the big news is my dad 's okay . sage : he made it ? ! nick : yeah . sage : that 's so great . i 'm so happy for you . victor is unreal . nick : yeah , he is . you 're no slouch yourself . at the underground , i really had to up my game . you were so calm . the whole time , i wanted to scream out like a little girl . sage : i had a nervous breakdown about my sad , pitiful life . nick : there 's nothing sad and pitiful about it . but you do owe me a rain check , 'cause i was n't kidding . i want to get to know you better . and at the club , you kind of gave me the brush - off , 'cause it was destroyed and stuff . but i 'm not giving up . so , tough luck . sage : i do n't want you to give up . jack : you . victor : are you kidding me ? phyllis : hey ! kelly : [ sighs ] phyllis : hey , i 'm talking to you . kelly : what is your problem ? did you follow me all the way from the hospital ? phyllis : do not pretend you did n't hear me yelling your name from across the street . kelly : oh , was that you ? phyllis : i am not gon na play your games any longer . jack made it clear back there . you are done . you are toast . and do not jeopardize his recovery with your woman - scorned routine . kelly : you know , you may not want to believe it , but it 's true . jack could n't get to me fast enough ! he and i made love , and he was thinking about one thing and one thing only , and that was me ! phyllis : okay , you go ahead and work that delusion for all it 's worth there , goldie . kelly : maybe jack pities you or fears you . or maybe he actually got hit on the head , and he believes what he 's saying . but jack and i made love , and i can promise you he wants it to happen again . phyllis : okay , i 'm gon na get this through your head . you are done in genoa city . jack abbott and victor newman are behind me on this -- the two toughest bastards in this town . i suggest you slink away now , while you still have the chance . jack : are you serious ? in this room ? victor : i do n't need these damn tests . i 'll just walk right out of here . no , sir . doctor 's orders . and we 'll sedate you if you do n't calm down . jack : [ sighs ] i thought you were under a pile of bricks . victor : rumors about my demise have been greatly exaggerated -- again . jack : the only thing that 's been exaggerated is your sense of self - worth . victor : well , in this case it 's justified . i saved someone 's life . jack : [ groans ] victor : in case you have n't heard . jack : yeah , how many times am i gon na have to hear that ? victor : excuse me . would you kindly see to it that i 'm transferred to another room ? jack : i 'd like another hospital ! jack : never mind . abby : there are sick people on this floor trying to recover , and you 're supposed to be resting . jack : how can i rest with that in my room ? victor : i saved your life . i will never make that mistake again . abby : stop it , both of you . you both almost died . do you have any idea what that means ? that means no more fighting . if you do n't care about yourselves , think about the people dumb enough to love you both . we 've all lost enough already . victor : did you lose someone ? chelsea : but even though gabriel and sage only married for an inheritance , he really does love her . billy : so , that little production at our place , the four - person wedding reception that was even more awkward than it felt ? that 's good to know . chelsea : he wants things to be real between them . billy : and you know this from what ? how he was ignoring her at dinner ? chelsea : he told me , billy . gabriel is a good guy . it 's just he 's in love with someone who does n't love him back . billy : or maybe he 's just lying in every direction . i mean , come on . sage ? does she strike you as some stone - cold gold digger ? i told you the conversation we had about her wanting kids . chelsea : well , she could build a family with gabriel if she would give him a chance . billy : we do n't even know this guy . do you really think it 's such a good idea to inflict him on some kid ? chelsea : connor is alive because of gabriel , and so are you . so , maybe you could , i do n't know , show a little gratitude instead of coming up with reasons to bash him . adam : do n't mind me , you two . i 'll just head back to the vending machines where they have the pretzels . nick : bingo . what 's up ? well , this is a little awkward . i did tell you i knew about you and sage 's business arrangement , right ? adam : yeah . but still , we got to be careful with this whole marriage thing . there 's a lot at stake . you would n't want anybody to lose their inheritance . the executor has taken a hard line . sage : there 's a lot at stake , but we are celebrating because nick 's father made it out of the building alive . nick : yeah . took a cab . he 's finally here getting checked out . adam : really ? oh , uh , wow . man , i guess what they say about victor newman is true . the man 's immortal . wow . well , i 'm happy for you . nick : thanks . i 'm gon na go check on him . i think he 's putting up quite a fight about staying the night . sage : go on . i 'll see you later . nick : yeah , you will . adam : wow . nikki : thank you , doctor . i 'll be waiting for news about those test results . nick : what test results ? is dad okay ? nikki : i 'm sure your father is fine . you know , these doctors , they always err on the side of caution . you two must be exhausted . if you want to go home , that 's fine . victoria : mom , do n't do that . okay , do n't talk to us like we 're children that you need to placate . nikki : victoria , this is n't the time . victoria : really ? well , when is a good time ? you poured yourself a giant vodka like it was the easiest thing in the world . nick : this is n't an attack , all right ? we 're just concerned , mom . victoria : how long have you been drinking again ? a couple of days ? a couple of weeks ? when you almost dropped katie and blamed it on the m.s . , you were drunk , were n't you ? paul : we found kyle . we 'll find austin , too . he could n't have gotten too far on foot . mariah : yeah , that makes sense . paul : meanwhile , we need to get you checked out at the hospital . scott , you want to take care of that , please ? kyle : look , chief . i 'm sorry for all the drama . and i 'm sorry i was n't who you expected , summer . take care of her , okay ? kevin : sure . chief ? just waiting on a tow truck to haul his vehicle back to town . kevin : we can drive it . the roads are all cleared . paul : save the taxpayers some funds . do it . that 's fine . stay warm . be careful . and , summer , we 'll find austin . he 'll be home before you know it , okay ? summer : yeah . mariah : seriously ? we 're gon na drive some guy 's car ? kevin : you want to wait around here with the cops hovering , knowing that this could all blow up at any minute ? summer : maybe they 'll find austin . maybe he 's out there . he just needs a little help . mariah : yeah , you 're right . we should probably get into a car where nobody can hear us . kevin : kyle gets lost in a ditch tonight of all nights . how does that even happen ? mariah : did you see the way that he was looking at summer ? summer : meaning what exactly ? mariah : meaning it was a little intense and creepy . summer : kyle is one of the best guys that i know . kevin : maybe he lied about going straight from the car to the ravine . maybe he saw what went down and was trying to protect you . moved the body . mariah : or maybe something worse . summer : okay , you guys , no . kyle would never do something like that . kevin : come on , summer , you have to admit the two of you have a very complicated history . i mean , he was your boyfriend , then he was your brother , and then ... maybe kyle was trying to eliminate the competition . noah : oh , thank god . okay , thank you . call you later , all right ? okay . bye . my grandfather made it out of the building . he 's at the hospital , but he 's fine . courtney : that 's such good news . noah : yeah , thank you . what about that ? was that about austin ? courtney : they rescued the guy from the ravine . noah : is he alive ? courtney : he 's alive . it 's not austin , though . it 's kyle abbott . noah : kyle ? what was he doing up there ? courtney : i have no idea . noah : i mean , it 's the abbott cabin . he could have been going up there . courtney : do you think kyle could have been the person watching us that night ? noah : i do n't know . courtney : is that something he would do ? would he be spying on us from a window ? or take it to the next level ? noah : i 'm not a fan of the guy , but he was n't doped like the rest of us . and there 's no way he broke in and killed austin without us having any memory of it , okay ? courtney : what about austin 's body ? maybe he 's the one that moved it . noah : if he did , he did it for summer 's sake . courtney : meaning he had a reason to think that summer was responsible . maybe he saw something that we all do n't remember . mariah : it still seems weird . the guy decides to show up as a surprise . gets out of his car , falls into a ditch , and then does n't think to call 9 - 1 - 1 ? kevin : well , none of us had cell service up there . summer : can you please just stop for two minutes ? austin was supposed to be in that ravine . austin was the one that was supposed to be safe . kevin summer , you know that he did n't have a pulse , right ? summer : are you a doctor ? no , you 're not . kevin : i think it 's okay for us to assume that austin is n't coming back . mariah : but kyle did on one of the worst nights ever . summer : okay , i do n't care why kyle 's here or how kyle got here . i just want all of this to be over with , okay ? i just want my husband back . that 's it . kevin : hey , check this out . mariah : what is it ? kevin : something sticking out of kyle 's trunk , begging us to open up and find out what it is . nick : why are you jumping to the christening ? the drinking just started tonight , vic . we were worried that dad was alive , and mom snapped . victoria : is that true ? or have you been lying to us for months , including the day that katherine was christened and you almost dropped my baby . nick : vic , that 's enough . she gets it . mom , we 're gon na get you all the help you need , okay ? a new program -- we 'll get you a new sponsor . victoria : mom , was it just a one - time incident ? am i wrong about the christening ? nikki : no , you 're not wrong . victoria : [ sighs ] nikki : i took that first drink a while ago . and then came all the shame and the guilt -- and the defiance . i 'd already broken every vow i 'd taken to be sober . so , i thought , `` why not have another drink ? `` then , another . i just -- i just felt like i really deserved to have a moment of relief ... even though it was so selfish . i know it was . when i think that i almost hurt your sweet baby . victoria : and that was n't enough for you to put down the vodka and go to a meeting ? nikki : i tried to stop , victoria . i know i did n't try hard enough . i know that . i just thought , for a little while , anyway , that the vodka would be the answer . so stupid ! nick : it was dad and all the stuff he pulled . victoria : no , dad will always be dad , all right ? it ca n't always be this way , mom . i ca n't live like this anymore . nikki : i know ! i did this to myself . i did it to you . [ crying ] i 'm so sorry ! oh , son , thank you . abby : no , i did n't lose anyone close to me . i 'm very lucky . and you 're lucky . and you 're both ridiculously , insanely lucky . so just stop yelling and be grateful for what you have . jack : i can be grateful to be alive and still want some solitude in my room ! victor : jack , you are an embarrassment . abby : please be quiet . if you do n't stop , the nurses are gon na have to humor you instead of helping patients who are really in need . you 're stuck with each other . so just suck it up for one night . victor : all right , sweetheart . nothing for you to worry about , okay ? jack : certainly not on this end . abby : okay , just ignore each other . i love you both . jack : yeah . victor : okay , sweetheart . jack : [ groans ] [ grunts ] victor : call the nurse . jack : could you just pour me a glass of water ? victor : are you kidding me ? i saved your life . now i 'm your waiter ? adam : huh ! he did it . i ca n't believe dear old dad survived . sage : it 's okay to admit you 're relieved . adam : i am relieved , but only because if he died now , it would be too soon . there 's no fun in that for me . sage : okay . so , this is just about vengeance and not actually caring about your own father . adam : well , nick is the good son . so , we 'll let him worry about dear , old dad . but i loved that he was using his sense of relief as an excuse to drape himself all over you . sage : drape himself ? oh , geez . be careful . you 're starting to sound a little jealous . adam : listen . i told you nick would never be able to cut loose from sharon , ever . but hey , if you do n't want to listen to me , i ca n't help you out . sage : because you 're so concerned about me ? 'cause you care so deeply ? jack : thank you ! victor : you 're welcome . jack : it was n't meant for you . victor : you 'd still be whining if i had n't helped you . jack : how about i thank you with a bedpan to the head ? jack : [ laughs ] [ door opens ] phyllis : o.m.g . this is fabulous ! the two of you in the same room ! you know , i hear they 're doing a remake of `` the odd couple . `` jack : it 's a temporary situation . victor : it 's a very temporary situation . phyllis : well , that 's okay . you 're alive , and you 're lucid . that 's all i need . jack : need for what ? phyllis : to take on kelly . victor : sweetheart , kelly has made herself very clear . phyllis : she claimed that before the underground caved in that jack took her to the back room and -- jack : this is more than he needs to know . and i told you stay away from her . she could be volatile . victor : see ? he 's protecting kelly again . phyllis : no , not anymore . he read her the riot act before you got here . victor : so , what 's your plan ? jack : all i know is , i want you . kelly : it happened ! it did ! nikki : all the lies , the hiding -- i could n't tell you . i could n't tell anybody . nick : well , now we know . and you have to get help , mom . victoria : we ca n't stand by and watch you drown yourself . we wo n't . nikki : you do n't have to . i am not gon na let this addiction get the best of me . nick : you do n't sound confident . but i am , all right ? i know you can do this . nikki : i will . i can . i will . i promise . abby : kyle ? kyle , are you hurt ? what are you doing here ? kyle : well , i came to see you . i came to crash your killer party . summer : so what ? it 's just a towel . who cares ? austin ? mariah : seriously ? noah : hey . summer : hi . noah : courtney told me about kyle . i 'm sorry . i thought you could use some family . summer : do you think we can go now ? i really just want to get out of here . kevin : not until we talk about that . noah : what is that ? mariah : that little thing hanging out of kyle 's trunk . summer : so , who cares ? he does n't fold or organize his trunk . mariah : or maybe he panicked and in a hurry tried to hide something . noah : this is kyle 's car ? kevin : mm - hmm . noah : you have his keys ? mariah : i do now . noah : let 's open it . summer : no , no , no . i do n't think that we should . kevin : if there 's something incriminating in there , we need to stay on top of it . summer : and if it 's nothing ? kevin : then it 's nothing . noah : open it . [ next_on ] hilary : there 's something you need to know . neil : what more do i need to know that i do n't know already ? jack : what the ... ? lily : figure out a way to tell mattie and charlie why daddy wo n't be living here anymore . | the person that the rescue crew found in the woods near the abbott cabin was kyle not austin who came to surprise everyone at abby 's party . kevin , mariah , courtney , and noah all think that kyle could be the person who moved austin 's body because he knows summer killed austin and wants to protect her . kevin sees something sticking out of the trunk of kyle 's car , so noah decides to look inside . nick and victoria confront nikki about her drinking , and she admits that she knows nikki was under stress because of everything victor has done lately . victoria thinks nikki is just making excuses to drink . victor has a concussion and ends up sharing a hospital room with jack . as expected , they get on each other 's nerves . | <s>[INST] nikki : i 'm having a well - deserved drink . victor : you may as well pour me one while you 're at it . abby : dad ? victoria : daddy , you 're here ! abby : oh , my gosh ! you 're alive ! victoria : thank god ! [ laughs ] abby : oh , my gosh . you 're here . victor : is that vodka ? i need that more than you do . kevin : you found austin ? summer : he 's safe . austin 's coming back to me . noah : how ... how did you find him ? you 're sure he 's okay ? paul : we got a report of a caucasian male in his mid-20s trapped in a ravine near the abbott cabin . the rescuers are bringing him up now . summer : it 's him . it 's him . austin 's safe . paul : well , we do n't have an injury report , but he is talking . mariah : what is he saying ? paul : `` help ! `` mostly . that 's how they found him . summer : where is he ? i need to see him . paul : well , you know , the conditions are still dicey up there . so , i would rather you wait here , and we 'll bring him back to memorial . mariah : well , no . if he 's all right , summer should be the first to see him , the first person to talk to him . she should go up there . we all should . courtney : that sounds okay , right , chief ? summer is the next of kin . kevin : and she could use our support . paul : yeah , but if he 's not doing well , i do n't want you guys -- summer : no , no , no . i promise i wo n't freak out . just as long as he 's alive , that 's all that matters to me . please . paul : okay . i 'm headed up there now . let 's go . noah : hey , kev , i 'm gon na stay here in town . call me if you need anything , okay ? kevin : yeah , count on it . noah : austin 's alive ? how -- do n't get me wrong . i 'm relieved , but -- courtney : yeah , the second he opens his mouth , our lives are over . [ sighs ] adam : so you do n't think i 'm crazy . chelsea : fighting for love ? no , no , there 's nothing crazy about that . adam : good . even if the girl in question does n't feel the same way ? chelsea : is what you feel real ? not just an urge or an impulse ? does it feel real and lasting ? adam : yeah , i think so . how do you know if it 's real ? chelsea : does it help you wake up in the morning ? does it help you have a smile on your face as you 're falling asleep at night ? adam : uh , yes . chelsea : well , then it 's real . trust me . if you give all of that to sage , she 'll eventually reciprocate and give it back to you . adam : and you believe that ? chelsea : yeah . i really do . adam : well , then , i believe it , too . billy : hey . chelsea : hi . adam : how 's jack ? billy : he 's gon na be just fine . chelsea : oh , billy , thank god . thank god ! billy : you , uh , you okay there , buddy ? you look like you 're about to drop . adam : no , no , i 'm good . i 'm just relieved to hear about jack . billy : so , how close are you and jack ? jack : believe me when i tell you , i am done with kelly . i want nothing to do with that pathological liar . kelly : i 'm the liar ? i 'm the liar ? ! jack : kelly . kelly : you took me to that back room in the underground . you ripped my clothes off . you said that you wanted me . jack : get out of here now ! get out of here ! i 'm not gon na placate you anymore . that you could make up such an awful lie ! kelly : you said you wanted me , jack . you made love to me . and now you 're gon na lie there and deny it ? why would you do that ? jack : how could i believe a single word you 've ever told me ? you actually had me believing phyllis was the cause of the trouble . i was such an idiot to believe that . kelly : you -- you just told me outside that he betrayed us both . are you going to sit there and let him make fools of us both now ? ! phyllis : you and me ? we are not an `` us . `` there 's one fool in this room , and she needs to leave now ! kelly : now i get it . this is a little game the two of you like to play , is n't it , huh ? jack wants what he wants , and he gets it . and you ? you pretend to be all strong and independent , and then you swallow whatever line he gives you ! well , let me tell you something , honey ! he is laughing at both of us ! jack : never happened , kelly . either you 're delusional , or you 're a damn good liar . kelly : it happened , jack ! i was there , and so were you . jack : so sincere , so convincing . just like you were with the tea ? wait . wait . phyllis was right , was n't she ? you set her up with the wigs and the antifreeze . i can not believe you would poison yourself to get what you want . kelly : jack , do you hear what you 're saying ? you 're twisting everything around ! of course she poisoned me ! and she 's going to trial , and she will be found guilty , and then she will be gone ! and you -- you will have sold your soul and your decency for a woman who 's going to prison ! phyllis : ah ! there it is , folks . you want me in a cell so bad , you can taste it . that 's why you set up the tea and the antifreeze , so you can get me away from jack . well , guess what ? [ claps hands ] did n't work ! kelly : [ gasps ] please . can you have the courtesy to lower the volume ? the nurses have monitored an elevated heart rate . let my patient rest . phyllis : you need to get a guard on the door to keep her out of here . i will make sure he gets his rest , doctor . okay ? i promise . jack : i 'm so sorry i ever believed a word she said . i hope you can find it in your soul to forgive me . adam : i think i just reacted that way because of what happened to my grandmother . i 'm always , especially lately , really relieved when people get a second chance , you know ? and jack has been amazing to me . he gave me a chance when no one else would . billy : well , that 's my brother -- big fan of second chances . adam : you know , it 's been a lucky night . we made it out . jack made it out . your boy 's being taken care of . sage : there you are . adam : hey ! sage : hi . adam : where have you been ? sage : hi , honey . nick helped me out of the underground , and they brought me here to clean me up . i just got your voicemail . chelsea : such a terrible night . i assume you heard about the fire ? sage : yeah . billy : you know what ? your husband can tell you the whole story . we really need to get connor and head on home . sage : they shut the building down . you did n't hear ? chelsea : because of the damage ? sage : yeah , that , and they have to investigate the fire . chelsea : so , we 're homeless ? billy : no , no , no . it 's not a problem . we 'll just to the abbott homestead . they got plenty of room and mrs. martinez 's cooking . chelsea : okay . well , any place is good for me . i just want connor home . billy : speaking of , i 'm gon na go get the little man . chelsea : okay . adam : i 'm gon na grab a coffee . you want anything ? sage : i 'm good . adam : yeah ? chelsea : i 'm okay , thank you . he 's , uh ... gabriel 's so relieved that you 're okay . sage : oh , yeah , i 'm tough . chelsea : what i 'm trying to say is he loves you . sage : marriage will do that to you . chelsea : he told me about the will , about why you guys got married in the first place . sage : oh . chelsea : he 's a good guy and funny . and i know he has a bad - boy past , but there 's a lot of good stuff there that you two can really build a life on . so , give him a chance . see you . hi . adam : hi . sage : and you are shameless . adam : what ? sage : what did you tell her ? you love me , but i wo n't let you into my cold heart ? adam : yeah , that seemed about right after you told nick about our business- arrangement marriage . sage : all right , fair enough . but you made me out to be this evil witch , and you 're just this decent guy who wants a chance . adam : is that what she said ? sage : yeah , basically . adam : well , that 's great ! sage : [ laughs ] okay . but you have n't fooled everybody . billy called you out on being so weird about jack . adam : not worried about him . it 's fine . sage : barely . he 's not on board with you yet . adam : no , of course not . why would he be ? i just saved his life . now he 's gon na go home with my wife , with my son , that ungrateful bastard . sage : pipe down , please . geez ! god ! adam : you know what ? i 'm gon na go see jack . sage : i do n't think a random jabot employee is high up on his visitors ' list , so ... adam : he knows , sage . sage : he knows what ? adam : he knows . sage : you told him who you are ? adam : yeah . sage : why ? why did you do that ? adam : i needed his help , all right ? and he 's really the only friend i 've ever had . sage : he 's on medication . he could tell anybody that ! adam : that 's right . all the more reason i need to go talk to him . sage : you think you can really trust him ? adam : yeah , i can trust him with my life , actually . he 's a good guy , sage . i was actually really shaken up when i thought i might lose him tonight . nikki : we thought we had lost you . victor : why would you think that ? nick : dad , i was there all night . i looked for you all night . abby : they said no one could survive . victor : well , obviously , they were wrong . would you pay the cab driver ? i did n't have any cash on me . would you ? nick : yeah , i got it . nikki : a cab ? have you been alone all this time ? victoria : have you been to a hospital ? has anybody looked at you ? i 'm gon na call ben . victor : no , no , sweetheart , it 's okay . abby : no , no , can i get you something to eat ? are you hungry ? do you want something to drink ? victor : let me first take a shower , clean up , and then you and i will talk about everything , okay ? nikki : victor , i -- victor : no , sweetheart , i just ... nikki : oh , my god , victor ! jack : i 'm sorry i ever believed a word that woman said to me . phyllis : it was more than a word . it was an entire trashy novel 's worth . obviously , it was easy for you to think i was damaged -- easier than for you to think that you fell for a conniving shrew . jack : that i ever had you sent to fairview , i ... knowing what that place has done to people , to sharon , to patty , to my own sister . it kills me that i had anything to do with your being there . phyllis : yeah , well , i questioned my sanity a few times while i was there . jack : you seem very calm . are you about to explode ? phyllis : maybe i am sounding this way because you almost died in that mess . i really do n't feel like pounding on you right now . you were wrong . jack : very . phyllis : and you 're sorry ? jack : very . phyllis : and you love me , and you 're on my side , and you will never , ever trust her again ? jack : never . phyllis : then we take it from here . you and me . jack : i do n't deserve you . phyllis : you want to talk about who deserves what ? kelly andrews -- jack : no , no , no . stay away from kelly . she is unbalanced . we do n't know how she 's gon na react . stay away from hr . phyllis : okay . i will not touch her . jack : you mean that ? phyllis : yes , i do . i do . but you need to rest . i want you to dream of us in istanbul , just without all the rain , okay ? okay ? excuse me . there was a desperate blonde here a bit ago . do you know which way she went ? jack : [ groans ] [ door opens ] adam : hey ! you look great ! you know , a couple of years ago , i was in a room just like this , hospital bed just like this . for all i know , it was this room . and you came in , visited me . do you remember what you said to me ? jack : no . adam : you said , `` junior , the world is a much more interesting place with you in it . `` jack : that does n't sound like me . adam : you said it . you said it . you told me you 'd do everything in your power to keep me in it . jack : that was before . adam : yes . it was before . yes , i know that . it meant a lot to me , jack . it meant a lot to me , and now here you are in a similar position . jack : no , no , no . it 's not the same thing . you were in a hospital bed because you took a bullet and saved victor 's life . i 'm here because he saved mine . adam : victor saved you ? jack : ever hear anything so crazy in your life ? adam : uh , yeah , actually , i have . the next time you talk to your brother billy , why do n't you ask him how he was able to get out of the burning building alive ? jack : what 's that -- adam : never mind . listen . you need your rest . and i do n't want to arouse any suspicion . so , glad you 're okay . jack : adam . things were kind of touch - and - go there for a while , so i may have said something to victor about you . adam : h - hold on a second . you told victor i was alive ? jack : i do n't think i got that far , but he 's on full alert right now . adam : okay . well , here 's the thing . i really do n't think you need to worry about that too much because victor 's still under the rubble . jack : what do you mean ? the rescue crew -- adam : recovery is actually what they call it now -- recovery , not rescue . jack : oh , my god . it 's hard to imagine a world without victor in it . adam : i tell you what , jack . the world is a much more interesting place with you in it . get some rest . glad you 're okay . paul : okay . anderson here says it 's rough getting into the ravine . there 's not much in the way of footing . so , it may be a while before they 're able to get him out . kevin : when do they think they 'll have some answers ? summer : is that -- paul : well ... mariah : oh , my god . summer : oh , my god ! oh , my god ! thank god ! i was so scared ! austin ! austin ! kyle ? paul : all right , thanks , nichols . so , kyle , what the hell are you doing up here ? summer : you know , i do n't understand . kyle : it was supposed to be a surprise -- showing up for abby 's party . then the storm hit , and there was nowhere to take shelter . mariah : so , this is -- this is kyle . summer : yeah , this is jack 's son . he 's my friend . paul : all right . so , how did you end up in the ravine ? kyle : my car got stuck . i tried to walk out on foot , but ... look . it was a stupid idea , coming out here without telling anyone . i know . i started to worry i 'd be stuck out here till the spring thaw . summer : but you 're here , okay ? and you 're safe , and i 'm so glad . okay ? but , you guys , where is austin ? the longer he 's out here -- kyle : wait a second . austin ? your husband is missing ? summer : yeah . he could be anywhere . i 'm scared , kyle . nick : so , the roof caves in , and all dad has is a concussion ? hardheaded does not begin to cover it . victoria : there 's no hidden damage ? we have some additional tests ordered , but ... nick : but for now just a concussion and possible nerve damage ? nikki : can i see him ? victor : i 'm right here , and i 'm gon na get out of this place . abby : dad , if they say you need more tests , then you do n't have a choice . victor : this is ridiculous . victoria : you do n't always have a choice because you 're not leaving . nikki : now , victor , no fighting about this . let them keep you overnight just to be sure . victor : that 's nonsense ! nikki : what room is he in ? we 're at capacity because of the storm . mr. newman will be sharing a room . victor : are you serious ? our apologies , mr. newman . victor : doc , i paid for half this damn hospital . i ca n't have my own room ? victoria : okay , dad , you 'll be very cozy . victor : oh , really ? nick : yeah , dad . come on . you 're a man of the people . victor : oh , yeah . watch , son . victoria : you 're alive , and we 're all very relieved . victor : yes , i am . so , why am i here ? nick : just humor us , okay ? abby 's a wreck . abby : please ? victor : i 'm sorry . are you really ? abby : yes . victor : that 's silly . i 'm okay . okay . let 's go . bye - bye ! nikki : bye - bye . abby : excuse me . nikki : i 'm going to go to talk to the doctor . victoria : mom , i need to talk to you . billy : we 'll be able to hear connor if he wakes up . chelsea : i have a feeling he might sleep for a week , though . and i just might join him . did you check in on johnny and katie ? billy : yeah , yeah . they 're both happily crashed out over at victoria 's with the nanny . and they still do n't know about their grandfather . chelsea : i feel terrible for victoria and her family . but i just want to feel relieved for one night . is that allowed ? maybe just an hour ? billy : so , it 's weird , right ? chelsea : what ? billy : the way that gabe reacted when i told him about jack . chelsea : yeah , what a jerk . i mean , to be relieved that somebody survived ? what is wrong with him ? billy : no , no . it 's just something does n't fit . the guy is hiding behind his smile and a handshake . he 's hiding something big . chelsea : you 're right . he is . billy : what are you not telling me ? nick : hey ! you 're okay . sage : hi . yeah . i 'm -- i 'm okay . i 'm in one piece . nick : and you did n't even haul off and slug me . you helped me out at the bar all night . i let a roof cave in on your head . sage : no , well , listen . my apartment caught on fire . so , the night would have been crappy , anyway . nick : okay . sage : how are you ? nick : i 'm good . the big news is my dad 's okay . sage : he made it ? ! nick : yeah . sage : that 's so great . i 'm so happy for you . victor is unreal . nick : yeah , he is . you 're no slouch yourself . at the underground , i really had to up my game . you were so calm . the whole time , i wanted to scream out like a little girl . sage : i had a nervous breakdown about my sad , pitiful life . nick : there 's nothing sad and pitiful about it . but you do owe me a rain check , 'cause i was n't kidding . i want to get to know you better . and at the club , you kind of gave me the brush - off , 'cause it was destroyed and stuff . but i 'm not giving up . so , tough luck . sage : i do n't want you to give up . jack : you . victor : are you kidding me ? phyllis : hey ! kelly : [ sighs ] phyllis : hey , i 'm talking to you . kelly : what is your problem ? did you follow me all the way from the hospital ? phyllis : do not pretend you did n't hear me yelling your name from across the street . kelly : oh , was that you ? phyllis : i am not gon na play your games any longer . jack made it clear back there . you are done . you are toast . and do not jeopardize his recovery with your woman - scorned routine . kelly : you know , you may not want to believe it , but it 's true . jack could n't get to me fast enough ! he and i made love , and he was thinking about one thing and one thing only , and that was me ! phyllis : okay , you go ahead and work that delusion for all it 's worth there , goldie . kelly : maybe jack pities you or fears you . or maybe he actually got hit on the head , and he believes what he 's saying . but jack and i made love , and i can promise you he wants it to happen again . phyllis : okay , i 'm gon na get this through your head . you are done in genoa city . jack abbott and victor newman are behind me on this -- the two toughest bastards in this town . i suggest you slink away now , while you still have the chance . jack : are you serious ? in this room ? victor : i do n't need these damn tests . i 'll just walk right out of here . no , sir . doctor 's orders . and we 'll sedate you if you do n't calm down . jack : [ sighs ] i thought you were under a pile of bricks . victor : rumors about my demise have been greatly exaggerated -- again . jack : the only thing that 's been exaggerated is your sense of self - worth . victor : well , in this case it 's justified . i saved someone 's life . jack : [ groans ] victor : in case you have n't heard . jack : yeah , how many times am i gon na have to hear that ? victor : excuse me . would you kindly see to it that i 'm transferred to another room ? jack : i 'd like another hospital ! jack : never mind . abby : there are sick people on this floor trying to recover , and you 're supposed to be resting . jack : how can i rest with that in my room ? victor : i saved your life . i will never make that mistake again . abby : stop it , both of you . you both almost died . do you have any idea what that means ? that means no more fighting . if you do n't care about yourselves , think about the people dumb enough to love you both . we 've all lost enough already . victor : did you lose someone ? chelsea : but even though gabriel and sage only married for an inheritance , he really does love her . billy : so , that little production at our place , the four - person wedding reception that was even more awkward than it felt ? that 's good to know . chelsea : he wants things to be real between them . billy : and you know this from what ? how he was ignoring her at dinner ? chelsea : he told me , billy . gabriel is a good guy . it 's just he 's in love with someone who does n't love him back . billy : or maybe he 's just lying in every direction . i mean , come on . sage ? does she strike you as some stone - cold gold digger ? i told you the conversation we had about her wanting kids . chelsea : well , she could build a family with gabriel if she would give him a chance . billy : we do n't even know this guy . do you really think it 's such a good idea to inflict him on some kid ? chelsea : connor is alive because of gabriel , and so are you . so , maybe you could , i do n't know , show a little gratitude instead of coming up with reasons to bash him . adam : do n't mind me , you two . i 'll just head back to the vending machines where they have the pretzels . nick : bingo . what 's up ? well , this is a little awkward . i did tell you i knew about you and sage 's business arrangement , right ? adam : yeah . but still , we got to be careful with this whole marriage thing . there 's a lot at stake . you would n't want anybody to lose their inheritance . the executor has taken a hard line . sage : there 's a lot at stake , but we are celebrating because nick 's father made it out of the building alive . nick : yeah . took a cab . he 's finally here getting checked out . adam : really ? oh , uh , wow . man , i guess what they say about victor newman is true . the man 's immortal . wow . well , i 'm happy for you . nick : thanks . i 'm gon na go check on him . i think he 's putting up quite a fight about staying the night . sage : go on . i 'll see you later . nick : yeah , you will . adam : wow . nikki : thank you , doctor . i 'll be waiting for news about those test results . nick : what test results ? is dad okay ? nikki : i 'm sure your father is fine . you know , these doctors , they always err on the side of caution . you two must be exhausted . if you want to go home , that 's fine . victoria : mom , do n't do that . okay , do n't talk to us like we 're children that you need to placate . nikki : victoria , this is n't the time . victoria : really ? well , when is a good time ? you poured yourself a giant vodka like it was the easiest thing in the world . nick : this is n't an attack , all right ? we 're just concerned , mom . victoria : how long have you been drinking again ? a couple of days ? a couple of weeks ? when you almost dropped katie and blamed it on the m.s . , you were drunk , were n't you ? paul : we found kyle . we 'll find austin , too . he could n't have gotten too far on foot . mariah : yeah , that makes sense . paul : meanwhile , we need to get you checked out at the hospital . scott , you want to take care of that , please ? kyle : look , chief . i 'm sorry for all the drama . and i 'm sorry i was n't who you expected , summer . take care of her , okay ? kevin : sure . chief ? just waiting on a tow truck to haul his vehicle back to town . kevin : we can drive it . the roads are all cleared . paul : save the taxpayers some funds . do it . that 's fine . stay warm . be careful . and , summer , we 'll find austin . he 'll be home before you know it , okay ? summer : yeah . mariah : seriously ? we 're gon na drive some guy 's car ? kevin : you want to wait around here with the cops hovering , knowing that this could all blow up at any minute ? summer : maybe they 'll find austin . maybe he 's out there . he just needs a little help . mariah : yeah , you 're right . we should probably get into a car where nobody can hear us . kevin : kyle gets lost in a ditch tonight of all nights . how does that even happen ? mariah : did you see the way that he was looking at summer ? summer : meaning what exactly ? mariah : meaning it was a little intense and creepy . summer : kyle is one of the best guys that i know . kevin : maybe he lied about going straight from the car to the ravine . maybe he saw what went down and was trying to protect you . moved the body . mariah : or maybe something worse . summer : okay , you guys , no . kyle would never do something like that . kevin : come on , summer , you have to admit the two of you have a very complicated history . i mean , he was your boyfriend , then he was your brother , and then ... maybe kyle was trying to eliminate the competition . noah : oh , thank god . okay , thank you . call you later , all right ? okay . bye . my grandfather made it out of the building . he 's at the hospital , but he 's fine . courtney : that 's such good news . noah : yeah , thank you . what about that ? was that about austin ? courtney : they rescued the guy from the ravine . noah : is he alive ? courtney : he 's alive . it 's not austin , though . it 's kyle abbott . noah : kyle ? what was he doing up there ? courtney : i have no idea . noah : i mean , it 's the abbott cabin . he could have been going up there . courtney : do you think kyle could have been the person watching us that night ? noah : i do n't know . courtney : is that something he would do ? would he be spying on us from a window ? or take it to the next level ? noah : i 'm not a fan of the guy , but he was n't doped like the rest of us . and there 's no way he broke in and killed austin without us having any memory of it , okay ? courtney : what about austin 's body ? maybe he 's the one that moved it . noah : if he did , he did it for summer 's sake . courtney : meaning he had a reason to think that summer was responsible . maybe he saw something that we all do n't remember . mariah : it still seems weird . the guy decides to show up as a surprise . gets out of his car , falls into a ditch , and then does n't think to call 9 - 1 - 1 ? kevin : well , none of us had cell service up there . summer : can you please just stop for two minutes ? austin was supposed to be in that ravine . austin was the one that was supposed to be safe . kevin summer , you know that he did n't have a pulse , right ? summer : are you a doctor ? no , you 're not . kevin : i think it 's okay for us to assume that austin is n't coming back . mariah : but kyle did on one of the worst nights ever . summer : okay , i do n't care why kyle 's here or how kyle got here . i just want all of this to be over with , okay ? i just want my husband back . that 's it . kevin : hey , check this out . mariah : what is it ? kevin : something sticking out of kyle 's trunk , begging us to open up and find out what it is . nick : why are you jumping to the christening ? the drinking just started tonight , vic . we were worried that dad was alive , and mom snapped . victoria : is that true ? or have you been lying to us for months , including the day that katherine was christened and you almost dropped my baby . nick : vic , that 's enough . she gets it . mom , we 're gon na get you all the help you need , okay ? a new program -- we 'll get you a new sponsor . victoria : mom , was it just a one - time incident ? am i wrong about the christening ? nikki : no , you 're not wrong . victoria : [ sighs ] nikki : i took that first drink a while ago . and then came all the shame and the guilt -- and the defiance . i 'd already broken every vow i 'd taken to be sober . so , i thought , `` why not have another drink ? `` then , another . i just -- i just felt like i really deserved to have a moment of relief ... even though it was so selfish . i know it was . when i think that i almost hurt your sweet baby . victoria : and that was n't enough for you to put down the vodka and go to a meeting ? nikki : i tried to stop , victoria . i know i did n't try hard enough . i know that . i just thought , for a little while , anyway , that the vodka would be the answer . so stupid ! nick : it was dad and all the stuff he pulled . victoria : no , dad will always be dad , all right ? it ca n't always be this way , mom . i ca n't live like this anymore . nikki : i know ! i did this to myself . i did it to you . [ crying ] i 'm so sorry ! oh , son , thank you . abby : no , i did n't lose anyone close to me . i 'm very lucky . and you 're lucky . and you 're both ridiculously , insanely lucky . so just stop yelling and be grateful for what you have . jack : i can be grateful to be alive and still want some solitude in my room ! victor : jack , you are an embarrassment . abby : please be quiet . if you do n't stop , the nurses are gon na have to humor you instead of helping patients who are really in need . you 're stuck with each other . so just suck it up for one night . victor : all right , sweetheart . nothing for you to worry about , okay ? jack : certainly not on this end . abby : okay , just ignore each other . i love you both . jack : yeah . victor : okay , sweetheart . jack : [ groans ] [ grunts ] victor : call the nurse . jack : could you just pour me a glass of water ? victor : are you kidding me ? i saved your life . now i 'm your waiter ? adam : huh ! he did it . i ca n't believe dear old dad survived . sage : it 's okay to admit you 're relieved . adam : i am relieved , but only because if he died now , it would be too soon . there 's no fun in that for me . sage : okay . so , this is just about vengeance and not actually caring about your own father . adam : well , nick is the good son . so , we 'll let him worry about dear , old dad . but i loved that he was using his sense of relief as an excuse to drape himself all over you . sage : drape himself ? oh , geez . be careful . you 're starting to sound a little jealous . adam : listen . i told you nick would never be able to cut loose from sharon , ever . but hey , if you do n't want to listen to me , i ca n't help you out . sage : because you 're so concerned about me ? 'cause you care so deeply ? jack : thank you ! victor : you 're welcome . jack : it was n't meant for you . victor : you 'd still be whining if i had n't helped you . jack : how about i thank you with a bedpan to the head ? jack : [ laughs ] [ door opens ] phyllis : o.m.g . this is fabulous ! the two of you in the same room ! you know , i hear they 're doing a remake of `` the odd couple . `` jack : it 's a temporary situation . victor : it 's a very temporary situation . phyllis : well , that 's okay . you 're alive , and you 're lucid . that 's all i need . jack : need for what ? phyllis : to take on kelly . victor : sweetheart , kelly has made herself very clear . phyllis : she claimed that before the underground caved in that jack took her to the back room and -- jack : this is more than he needs to know . and i told you stay away from her . she could be volatile . victor : see ? he 's protecting kelly again . phyllis : no , not anymore . he read her the riot act before you got here . victor : so , what 's your plan ? jack : all i know is , i want you . kelly : it happened ! it did ! nikki : all the lies , the hiding -- i could n't tell you . i could n't tell anybody . nick : well , now we know . and you have to get help , mom . victoria : we ca n't stand by and watch you drown yourself . we wo n't . nikki : you do n't have to . i am not gon na let this addiction get the best of me . nick : you do n't sound confident . but i am , all right ? i know you can do this . nikki : i will . i can . i will . i promise . abby : kyle ? kyle , are you hurt ? what are you doing here ? kyle : well , i came to see you . i came to crash your killer party . summer : so what ? it 's just a towel . who cares ? austin ? mariah : seriously ? noah : hey . summer : hi . noah : courtney told me about kyle . i 'm sorry . i thought you could use some family . summer : do you think we can go now ? i really just want to get out of here . kevin : not until we talk about that . noah : what is that ? mariah : that little thing hanging out of kyle 's trunk . summer : so , who cares ? he does n't fold or organize his trunk . mariah : or maybe he panicked and in a hurry tried to hide something . noah : this is kyle 's car ? kevin : mm - hmm . noah : you have his keys ? mariah : i do now . noah : let 's open it . summer : no , no , no . i do n't think that we should . kevin : if there 's something incriminating in there , we need to stay on top of it . summer : and if it 's nothing ? kevin : then it 's nothing . noah : open it . [ next_on ] hilary : there 's something you need to know . neil : what more do i need to know that i do n't know already ? jack : what the ... ? lily : figure out a way to tell mattie and charlie why daddy wo n't be living here anymore .Summarize.[/INST]the person that the rescue crew found in the woods near the abbott cabin was kyle not austin who came to surprise everyone at abby 's party . kevin , mariah , courtney , and noah all think that kyle could be the person who moved austin 's body because he knows summer killed austin and wants to protect her . kevin sees something sticking out of the trunk of kyle 's car , so noah decides to look inside . nick and victoria confront nikki about her drinking , and she admits that she knows nikki was under stress because of everything victor has done lately . victoria thinks nikki is just making excuses to drink . victor has a concussion and ends up sharing a hospital room with jack . as expected , they get on each other 's nerves .</s> | 16,500 |

'cause , uh , i can't . abby : i was n't eavesdropping . scott : what were you doing ? abby : i 'm waiting to meet with my dad . and what about you ? are you just roaming the hallways , randomly scaring executives , or do you actually serve a purpose around here ? scott : i was summoned to the big office , as well . victor wanted to go over some numbers with newman digital media . abby : hmm . same . i 'm updating him on my startup incubator project . scott : why does he keep doing this -- scheduling our meetings at the same time ? our divisions have nothing in common with each other . abby : well , that 's fine by me . my numbers are great . you know what ? maybe he 's trying to light a fire under you and that money - loser you 're running for him . victor : is he there now ? mm - hmm . you know what to do . nikki : well , it 's a good thing i 'm not that hungry , because you managed to catch the world 's smallest trout . jack : do not blame the fisherman . blame the equipment . nikki : okay . jack : i 'm serious . that old rod and reel held me back . if i 'd have had that beauty that you gave me -- nikki : you are right . it would have been perfection . jack : excuse me . i just caught us dinner . nikki : okay . well , you enjoy the spoils of your hunt . i 'm gon na stick with veggies . jack : nonsense . we will both feast on my bounty . nikki : [ laughs ] [ whistles ] well , that 's gon na be a neat trick , because i have seen guppies bigger than that . jack : watch and learn , lady . watch and learn . additional sponsorship abby : i just saw the facilities manager in reception . does that mean we 'll be remodeling the executive suites ? victor : we 'll be starting very soon . abby : great ! well , i will be ready to move in to my temporary office tomorrow , while this guy -- his office is a mess -- it 'll take a week to wade through all the junk that he 's managed to squirrel away in there . scott : every bit of that junk represents a project , a story , something important . i feel like a clean , immaculate desk actually says you 're not pulling your weight . victor : oh , yeah ? abby : [ chuckles ] scott : or it means you 're the boss . abby : or it means you 're organized and efficient and not a pack rat . scott : look , i 'll be ready for the move . do n't worry . victor : all right . please have a seat . so ... who wants to go first ? abby ? abby : okay . well , my startup incubator project is blowing up . word is getting around fast . people are actually approaching me to become a part of it . victor : really ? ! abby : yes . i just signed a second tenant that was referred to me by zack , and he has a very interesting gps platform . he 'll be moving in soon . that with the tenant that i signed today -- that makes three . our first project that we 're gon na be rolling out is zack 's dating app . we 're in beta testing now . victor : he the fella who took you to the party ? abby : yes . victor : and you believe in him ? abby : i believe in everyone i take on as a partner . if i had my doubts , then i 'd pass . i learned that from you . scott : and you also date all your business partners ? abby : beats dating one of the boss 's ex - wives . victor : well , abby , 2 , you , 0 . time for you to catch up . sharon : you know , we could talk about you and noah expanding the underground . we could talk about noah 's trip to the music festival in san francisco . or how 'bout the coincidence of this young woman i 've been trying to help at the crisis hotline turning up in your office ? i mean , we could talk about a lot of interesting topics , but you chose to take another shot at the man that i 'm dating . so , is this how it 's gon na be from now on ? nick : look , i do n't want to talk about him , either . sharon : well , i think the only reason you do n't like scott is because ... he 's close to victor . nick : okay , look , the guy 's got a chip on shoulder for me , too , and you know it , all right ? look , we do n't have to be friends , all right ? not everybody has to like each other . let 's just let it go . sharon : well , i can't . nick : why not ? sharon : because faith is going to be home from camp soon , and i 'm gon na want to introduce them and explain to her that we 're dating . nick : well , what if when faith does come home , you guys are n't together anymore ? sharon : just ... promise me that you wo n't badmouth scott to faith . nick : i would never do that . sharon : okay . well , i never thought that you would end up in a fistfight with victor at a charity event honoring your mother , but there it was , on `` the hilary hour , `` for all the world to see . nick : look , i have never said a bad word to faith about my dad . and i wo n't do it about scott , either . mariah : i 'm so sorry . i 'm so sorry . i do n't know where that ... came from . i -- please do n't be upset . tessa : i 'm not , mariah . mariah : i 've never done anything like that before . that does n't -- it does n't make any sense . i 'm -- i 'm -- i 'm -- i 'm so sorry . it was like an impulse . i 've never done this before . i 'm sorry . tessa : you 've said that already . mariah : i did . i did say that . i did . i 'm so sorry . i 'm so sorry . i 'm so sorry . tessa : you need to stop apologizing . billy : so , we can afford to take the night off , huh ? what happened to weekends and late nights and all that fun stuff ? victoria : you know what ? if we keep burning our candle at both ends , we 're gon na be too exhausted to do our job . besides , my doctor told me that i need to rest . billy : yeah ? your headache 's gone ? victoria : my mild concussion , which was just that -- a mild concussion with no lingering effects -- it 's fine . a night off to recharge is gon na make me feel even better . it 'll make you feel better , too . billy : [ sighs ] i 'd be a fool to argue with that one . victoria : good . billy : so , what are you gon na do ? you gon na hang out with the kids ? victoria : uh , no . i 'm just taking a little `` me `` time . hannah 's gon na watch the kids tonight . billy : what are these plans that you mentioned ? benjamin : knock , knock . victoria : benjamin , hi . benjamin : i realize we were supposed to be meeting at the club , but my mother raised me to be a gentleman . i came to pick you up . victoria : right . you want to get a little look - see at my lab . benjamin : well , my mom also raised me to be pretty smart , too . uh , i 'll bet you 're ... billy abbott . benjamin hochman . yeah . well , i guess victoria 's my ... date . lauren : why is this a perfect plan ? phyllis : because if victoria is spending time with someone else , she 'll be too busy to occupy all of billy 's time . lauren : mm . and that somebody else is benjamin hochman ? phyllis : yep . why not ? lauren : uh ... phyllis : look , he 's sleazy . i get it . but he 's also handsome . he 's charming . he 's a pretty good businessman . i mean , that 's the real reason i want them to hit it off . lauren : i can not wait to hear the logic behind this . phyllis : brash & sassy ! is in trouble . he 's a venture capitalist . lauren : mm . polite term for that . phyllis : okay . so , he has dismantled his share of companies and put up condos where they should be , but he has also snatched those operations from the jaws of death , okay ? he 's turned them profitable . he 's gon na swoop in , resurrect brash & sassy ! , and billy 's gon na be a 9 : 00-to-5 : 00er again . boom . lauren : or he could be true to form and make it such a mess for those two to clean up , if victoria even has a company left . phyllis : victoria 's very smart . she 's not gon na let him take advantage . i think it 's good , as far as i 'm concerned . lauren : hmm . could be a kink in your plan . phyllis : impossible ! lauren : possible . hochman is a giant flirt . victoria 's single . you know , what if he makes it a personal venture instead of just a professional one ? phyllis : then that 's a win - win - win . victoria : this is not really a date -- it 's business . benjamin : well , in that case , i guess i 'll cancel the violinist and the roses and pick up a copy of the wall street journal to bring along . billy : that 's funny . why are you in our neighborhood ? benjamin : networking . my goal of this trip was to come and meet the most promising young c.e.o.s in this part of the state , to explore opportunities , build new connections . now , lucky for me , when i called victoria , she was available . billy : hmm . benjamin : oh . [ cellphone rings ] excuse me . hochman . yeah . billy : hey . this guy is all about a fire sale . victoria : you know him ? billy : by reputation . he buys distressed companies and shutters the doors and repurposes the relisting . victoria : i know all about benjamin 's business practices , okay ? but he 's incredibly well connected . i 'm gon na make sure to mention that brash & sassy ! is on the cusp of a new era . we 've got profit coming down the pike . he 's gon na spread the word to his inner circle . next thing you know , we 're gon na be at the talk of the town again , in a good way . billy : a few days ago , you told me not to lie . victoria : billy , i 'm not lying . i 'm just accentuating the positive . billy : this is a risk . you know that . victoria : okay . it 's a calculated risk . but trust me . i know what i 'm doing . billy : [ sighs ] benjamin : ready to go ? victoria : yeah , i am -- more than ready . good night . billy : mm - hmm . mariah : so , you 're -- you 're okay with what just happened ? tessa : mariah ... it 's like you said . it was an impulse . i mean , we 're here in san fran at an amazing music festival , experiencing things and connecting . i think we both ... got a little carried away . mariah : yeah . yeah . that 's , um -- that 's exactly what happened . tessa : we 're both dating great people . mariah : we are . tessa : so ... let 's just put that kiss in a vault and keep it there . okay ? devon : hey , you two ! noah : ladies . tessa : hi ! well , you seem excited . did the meeting go well ? noah : oh , the meeting was fantastic . tessa : oh ! well , tell me what happened . mariah : hi . noah : i will , but first ... [ smooching ] lauren : hey , do you want to order in from that new italian restaurant downtown ? we could go over these sales numbers eating penne arrabbiata . phyllis : you know , i 'm not that hungry . lauren : hmm . well , there 's always room for wine . do you have any red ? phyllis : no . i do n't have white , either . lauren : you do n't have wine ? phyllis : i know . i know . i 've been meaning to restock . lauren : okay . straight to work , then . phyllis : um ... can we ... do this tomorrow morning ? lauren : are you trying to get rid of me ? oh , my -- [ door opens ] billy : hi , lauren . lauren : hey ! look who 's home ! phyllis : i 'm a little surprised . i thought you were gon na be working all night . billy : yeah . so did i . billy : i hope i 'm not interrupting ladies ' night . lauren : not at all . i was just leaving . billy : you 're not saying that for my benefit , are you ? lauren : not at all . i have plans . nice to see you , bill . billy : you , too . lauren : you owe me a bottle of wine . phyllis : i will make it a case . billy : after our talk last night , i wanted to take a little free time . phyllis : really ? did you make a pit stop ? billy : yes , i did . supplies , my love . phyllis : what ? ! margaritas ? ! billy : that 's right . you want in ? phyllis : [ laughs ] well , i was gon na get some work done , but , you know , considering ... how much ... trouble you went through , okay . billy : good answer . i 'll take that . scott : so , i 've dispatched a reporter to cover the aftermath , and she 's gon na be on the ground , interviewing witnesses , survivors . so ... closer to home , i decided to write an exposé myself on sex trafficking in the midwest . it 's a bad situation , and it 's getting a lot worse , especially for the women who are roped into it -- find themselves trapped with no way out . victor : that sounds compelling . scott : it 's the nightmare next door that almost no one knows about . abby : i applaud you for wanting to make the public aware of such a horrific story . scott : you do ? abby : i do , but you should n't split your focus . scott : by all means , abby , why do n't you tell me how to do my job ? abby : i 'd be happy to . since you are in charge of the business end of things , i think you should assign another reporter to write the story , preferably a female . that way you can focus on making your division more profitable . scott : a lot of editors and publishers at successful magazines write stories on their own . this is a big story -- one that could get hashtag and newman digital media noticed in a crowded marketplace and improve my numbers . i can do this justice , victor , but you need to trust me the way you 're trusting abby with her startups . victor : all right . good presentation . scott : thank you . victor : but i expect both of your divisions to show improved numbers at the end of the quarter , right abby : yeah . scott : let the games begin . victor : now , if you do n't mind , i need to make an important phone call . abby : yes . scott : thank you , victor . victor : all right . thank you for coming by . abby : thanks , daddy . victor : bye , sweetheart . jack : okay , maybe not the biggest fish in the lake , but hopefully the tastiest . nikki : my goodness . first a frittata , and now this ? you know , when we were married , you did n't step foot in the kitchen . jack : my culinary skills are a work in progress . cross your fingers . maybe the trout 's better than my fancy omelet . nikki : [ chuckles ] well ... let 's see . jack : well ? nikki : that 's not bad ! jack : yeah ? nikki : but , you know , next time ... maybe we could cook together . there is going to be a next time , is n't there ? jack : i 'm counting on it . nikki : well , as fun and distracting as this is , perhaps it 's time that we should finally talk about that elephant in the room . jack : does that elephant have a moustache ? noah : so , the guy said he 'll come down to the underground on open - mic night and check out the scene . mariah : nice ! devon : that 's right , and he was very impressed with you , tessa . tessa : what ? how ? i was n't even there . noah : devon showed him a video of one of your performances -- you know , my favorite one -- and you know what he said ? he said that you should have had a deal signed a long time ago . tessa : really ? noah : yeah . so , maybe one day you will be headlining this festival yourself . devon : absolutely . until then , though , let 's get out there . there 's a lot of good music going to waste . noah : yeah . let me just grab my phone . devon : hey , you know what , guys ? i just want to take this time real quick to say i 'm really happy that mariah asked you two to come along , 'cause i 'm having a great time with you all . noah : ah , you know , every once in a while , she has a pretty good idea . mariah : gee . thanks . noah : okay . so , when we get back to the festival , we 're splitting up , right ? you two wanted to see that [ laughing ] norwegian punk band . i 'm sorry . and then we 'll go catch the one you were telling me about on the main stage , right ? mariah : you know , i , uh -- i think i changed my mind . i just feel like punk would mess with this chill vibe that i have going right now . and the festival 's coming to an end , we 're gon na be leaving soon , so , noah , why do n't you take tessa ? you guys go do your own thing , and devon and i will do ours . devon : are you sure ? i do n't want you missing anybody you want to see . mariah : no , no . it really does n't matter . i thought about it , and , uh , you know , we deserve some couple time . so , what do you say ? noah : sounds good to me . mariah : you okay with that ? tessa : yeah , most definitely . noah : okay . meet you guys back at the vip tent later ? devon : cool . yeah . mariah : let 's do this . yeah ! [ laughs ] devon : okay . ready ? mariah : yeah . `` the young and the restless `` will continue . jack : there are people , my sister included , who look at this , whatever this is , and wonder if i have an agenda with you -- if maybe the reason we 're together is to somehow get under victor 's skin . nikki : well , excuse me . i take umbrage at that . jack : do you ? nikki : who says you 're the only one in that driver 's seat ? like i 'm not making my own decisions ? who knows what 's going to happen ? we 're going to have to let time determine that . all i know is right now , i am doing exactly what i want . i want to be with you . i want to be here in this beautiful cabin with you . and i wanted it to be tonight , so that 's good enough for me . jack : it 's enough for me , too . uh , full disclosure ? i realize i am poking the tiger -- not on purpose , but there are bound to be repercussions , for which i take full responsibility . if victor has any issues , that 's my problem , not yours . if you find this to be too messy or too much stress , i can back off . nikki : and i just said you 're not the only one in that driver 's seat . open wide . sharon : so , scott 's putting together a series of articles covering the type of crime ring that poor crystal got involved in . nick : that 's a good idea . it could help these other girls learn what to look for with these predators and steer clear of them . sharon : i hope so . scott : hey . sorry i 'm late . sharon : oh , hey . scott : victor wanted an update with hashtag . nick : oh , and i bet you told him exactly what he wanted to hear , right ? sharon : can we please not do this ? scott : you know , i 'm not victor 's yes man . nick : you know , i do n't get it . you 're supposed to be this razor - sharp reporter , and you ca n't seem to figure out who my dad really is . scott : well , my eyes are wide open . maybe you 're the one who needs a new perspective on things . nick : i bet you 're just dying to give it to me , right ? so , go ahead . school me , scotty . scott : [ sighs ] look , my father died when i was young . i do n't remember him at all -- not his face , his voice , nothing . i 'd give anything to take that back -- go back in time and get that -- but i can't . so , here you are , willing to throw away your whole relationship with victor . nick : i 've known my dad my entire life . you 've known him , what , a couple months ? the last thing i need to hear is a lecture from you about my dad . phyllis : how can i help ? billy : oh , no , no , no . you kick back and relax . this is all about me apologizing for my behavior lately . phyllis : ohh . you do n't need to do that . billy : i want to . i need to . i 've been obsessing about work lately , and you were right to call me out on it . i get the jackass of the week award for even implying that brash & sassy ! or victoria are more important than you , the most beautiful woman in my life , the most important woman in my life . phyllis : cheers to that . billy : mm . so , you would n't guess in a million years why i 'm actually not at work . victoria has dinner with one of the biggest sharks in the corporate world . told her it was a bad idea , and , of course , she said she knew what she was doing . phyllis : margaritas are amazing . billy : benjamin hochman . you know the guy , right ? phyllis : sure . yeah , i know who he is . victoria : oh , that 's my brother nicholas over there ! benjamin : oh . we 've never met . you 'll have to introduce me ... some other time . i 'm more interested in getting better acquainted with you . victoria : well , to know my company is to know me . benjamin : oh . then , by all means , tell me about brash & sassy ! victoria : well , dare , our new men 's body spray , is flying off the shelves , and part of the excitement is due to a lucrative tie - in deal that we forged with professional hockey . benjamin : wow . victoria : yes . it 's a big get for our company . and i think it 's one of the big reasons why our sales are up across the board . our other products are on an uptick , as well . benjamin : so , your company 's doing exceptional financially ? victoria : yes . never better . and as sole owner , i am calling all the shots . i 've got no partners breathing down my neck or investors clamoring for short- term profits as opposed to long - term successes . benjamin : was that speech for my benefit ? victoria : i 'm just trying to be up front with you . that 's all . benjamin : [ chuckles ] while i have been that investor that you described -- mr . bottom line -- i can be flexible , depending on the situation . victoria : ah . interesting . that 's not what i 've heard . benjamin : i 'm aware of the reputation that i have to be results - oriented to the exclusion of everything else . and it 's an incomplete assessment , victoria , not to mention unfair . victoria : really ? benjamin : it 's all about the people that i work with . it begins and ends there -- with personal relationships that you build , nurture , to mutual benefit . victoria : i am actually all about personal relationships . in fact , some of the best deals that i 've ever made have been with people that i admire . benjamin : do you admire me ? victoria : i hardly know you . benjamin : then let 's take a sledgehammer into all these pesky barriers that we all put up in social situations -- get real with each other . victoria : or we could just continue talking about my company . benjamin : i can see that you 're hesitant , so i 'll start . i 'm a lifelong resident of chicago , divorced . i enjoy sailing , tennis , golf . if it 's athletic , i 've done it . won a trophy . see ? it 's not hard to share . your turn . victoria : why does it sound like we 're filling out an online dating profile ? benjamin : [ chuckling ] scoff all you want , but those apps have it figured out . victoria : oh , really ? so , how many services have you signed up for ? benjamin : i 'm a people person , remember ? i prefer meeting face to face , like now . so ? victoria : [ sighs ] okay . i am a lifelong resident of wisconsin , also divorced . you met one of my exes back at the office -- billy abbott . but i am also married -- to my work . benjamin : [ chuckles ] yes . are n't we all ? victoria : as far as hobbies go , i like horseback riding and painting , and i actually have a few medals for various equestrian events myself . benjamin : nice ! victoria : yes , but i have n't had time for either one of those for quite a while . benjamin : and who is victoria newman ... in there ? victoria : well , i 'm not a game - player . what you see is what you get . benjamin : can i say i like what i see ? victoria : as long as i can say it 's incredibly amusing watching you being so transparent right now . benjamin : [ chuckles ] coming off a little strong , huh ? victoria : well , you know , it does make me wonder if you 're trying to get me to drop my guard so i 'll do something stupid , something that i 'll regret later . benjamin : such as ? victoria : such as selling you a piece of my company or bringing you on as a consultant when i do n't want or need one . benjamin : hey , admit it . i have a certain style . you either like it or you don't . but you can rest assured , victoria , i 'm not trying to sucker you . my motive here is just to get to know you , and i meant what i said . i do like what i see . [ distorted voice ] having said all that and considering our individual track records , i think a joint venture could be potentially lucrative for both of us . i think it would be a huge success . what are your thoughts ? victoria : are we gon na get out of here or what ? benjamin : you mean ... ? victoria : i mean are you hungry for food ? because i 'm not . why do n't we get the check ? nick : there you go , bud . i tell you what -- you two can stick around and talk about my dad all you want . i 'm out of here . sharon : nick , wait ! scott : i 'm sorry . i should n't have taken the bait . sharon : it 's not your fault . when it comes to victor , these days , nick is just not thinking straight . nick : hey ! vick ! wait up ! excuse me . uh , mr . newman , apologies , but there 's a problem with your bill . nick : what ? yeah . your name is n't listed on that membership account . nick : look , i 've been a member here for years , all right ? i signed our name . it 's the newman family account . i used the right account number . okay . uh , when did my dad call ? devon : too bad the , uh , amp blew , right ? the band sounded great . mariah : yeah . maybe we can catch their show another time , maybe at the underground . devon : like their music ? mariah : are you surprised ? devon : a little more acoustic than you were expecting . mariah : well , being with you has broadened my horizons . devon : you trying to get on my good side ? 'cause you 're already there , you know . so , what do you want to do now ? mariah : well , maybe we should spend some time here before we go meet tessa and noah . devon : okay . we can text them and see where they 're at and meet up with them , too . mariah : you know what ? i think they need some alone time , and so do we . devon : dude . keep talkin ' . mariah : being here with you in one of the most exciting cities in the world -- it just does n't get any better . nick : hey . uh , can i borrow some money ? looks like dad cut me off from the family account here , so -- and i do n't have my wallet . sharon : i am so sorry this is happening . nick : that 's all right . he 's just trying to embarrass me . sharon : you know what ? i 'm gon na get some cash out of my locker so you can pay for your check . nick : thanks . [ cellphone rings ] scott : victor , hello . what can i do for you ? victor : listen , the updated budget for your division was n't in the report you left . scott : uh , you know , i bet i left it on my desk . i can get my assistant to bring it to you tomorrow . victor : all right . please do so . scott : oh , hey , hey , before you go , uh ... i 'm at the club , and , uh , apparently , there 's an issue with nick 's membership . victor : really ? what kind of issue ? scott : it was you , was n't it ? you had his name taken off the account . that was the important project you had to take care of when you dismissed abby and me . you were putting this in motion . victor : smart boy . scott : you 'll be pleased to know it worked . nick had to borrow money from sharon to cover his check . victor : really ? well , i 'll be damned . nikki : it meant a lot to me that you were willing to talk about victor . jack : oh , you do n't have to thank me . i love talking about the black knight . he 's one of my go - to conversation starters . nikki : [ chuckles ] ah , i just thought it was a necessary evil . now that we got that out of the way , we can just erase him from our minds , banish him from our thoughts . jack : music to my ears . hey , listen -- i 'm gon na make you a promise . any time you ask me a question , regardless the topic , i 'm gon na give you an honest answer . nikki : okay . let 's put that to the test . jack : all right . ask away . nikki : this thing that we have ... jack : mm - hmm . nikki : ... that we have yet to define -- it 's easy when we 're up here alone in the quiet , an idyllic place . but how do you think that would go when we 're out in the city with the people ? do you think that ... `` it `` can survive in the real world ? jack : only one way to find out . noah : hey , let 's go inside and see if devon and mariah are here . tessa : okay . this area 's restricted . you need all - access passes . tessa : well , just show him our credentials , noah . hey . i gave them to him for safekeeping . noah : they 're -- i think they fell off when we were in the mosh pit . tessa : uh , well , he was here a couple of hours ago with devon hamilton . noah : yeah . tessa : check the list . uh , yeah . no list . only passes . tessa : okay . you sound like a broken record . we have them , but they 're caked in mud at the bottom of the pit by stage 2 . just give us a break , man . mmm . not today . noah : really ? you know , it 's fine . it 's fine . tessa : no . no , it 's not . we have every right to be here . just check it , mr . pec - tacular . this is noah newman , as in victor newman 's grandson . do you know the name , or is using a browser above your pay grade ? look ... you do n't want to piss this guy off by not letting us in . i mean , one phone call and he could turn your life into a new version of hell . you could lose your job ... be evicted . [ clears throat ] all right . i 'll make an exception , but just this one time . tessa : oh , really ? thank you ! what 's wrong ? noah : it 's just i 've never really used the whole `` do you know who i am ? `` thing . it 's not -- tessa : why ? what 's the fun of being a newman and related to a billionaire if we do n't get the occasional perk from it ? noah : oh . you 're funny girl . tessa : yeah . noah : that 's what it is . tessa : i try . noah : that 's cute . tessa : [ chuckles ] mariah : this amazing trip to the coast with great music and wonderful food and every luxury i could ever imagine makes me think that i must have done something really , really right in my past life to deserve such an amazing guy like you . devon : i love that you 're having such a good time . i 'm glad that we came . mariah : yeah , but it 's more than just a good time , and i want you to know that . i know that i 'm not the type to get all mushy and sentimental , and maybe this is too soon ... but i 'm feeling it , and i 'm gon na say it out loud , so here goes nothing . i love you , devon . billy : this is the life . phyllis : [ laughs ] i agree 100 % . billy : want more ? phyllis : yes , please . billy : [ groans ] ahh . [ cellphone chimes ] whoa . phyllis : what is it ? billy : one of our west coast competitors is trying to acquire a company that we had our eye on . i have to tell victoria real quick . [ chuckles ] okay . all right . you 're right . my bad . i made a promise that tonight is all about us . get rid of that . victoria : i hope there 's more where that came from . benjamin : wine will flow all night long if you want . ah . people have told me that i come off a little strong . i 'm glad to see that you are n't turned off by me . victoria : blah , blah , blah . talk is cheap , hochman . when are you gon na kiss me ? benjamin : uh ... right about ... now . [ next_on ] cane : it 's inevitable that we run in to each other around here , so you might as well hear this from me . billy : i was trying to get ahold of victoria , but she 's getting a jump - start on the day . hilary : she spent the night with benjamin hochman . | billy was caught off guard when benjamin came to brash and sassy and said he was picking victoria up for a date . victoria clarified that it was just business . billy privately warned victoria that benjamin purchased and dismantled struggling companies . victoria was confident that she could get benjamin to spread positive information about brash and sassy around the business world . victoria and benjamin went to dinner , and she spoke about brash and sassy in glowing terms . benjamin tried to make the conversation more personal . this made victoria suspicious that he was trying to trick her into agreeing to let him invest in her company . victoria had another episode , seemingly caused by her head issue , then she suddenly suggested that they go back to his suite . once there , victoria told hochman to kiss her , then she began to undress him . devon and noah had a productive meeting with the booking agent in san francisco . devon and noah decided to partner up with each other and have devon 's artists play in noah 's clubs . mariah was confused and apologetic about kissing tessa . tessa assured mariah that they just got carried away . tessa noted that they were dating great people and suggested that they forget about the kiss . when noah and devon returned , mariah suggested that each couple spend some alone time together . a bouncer refused to let noah and tessa back into the concert because they did n't have their passes . he relented when tessa threatened to sic victor on him . mariah told devon that she loved him , and they shared a passionate kiss . victor placed a cryptic phone call . scott and abby bickered in front of victor when he called them in for a progress report . abby informed victor that she 'd signed another person to the incubator project ; someone recommended by zack . scott told victor that he was writing an expose on sex trafficking in the mid - west . victor announced that he expected abby and scott 's divisions to show improvement . | <s>[INST] lauren : i went by your office to go over the sales numbers , and your assistant said you left early . phyllis : off - site meeting . lauren : with ? phyllis : our old friend benjamin hochman . lauren : the department - store demolisher ? phyllis : one and only . lauren : what on earth did he want from you ? phyllis : oh , no , no , no , no . no , the question should be , what did i want from him , which , by the way ... i got . victoria : how did your meeting with suppliers go ? billy : it was good . i held their hand , reassured them that all is well in the brash & sassy ! world . victoria : excellent . billy : yeah . they 're concerned about a few things but nothing a few tweaks ca n't remedy . i 've cleared the decks so we can get started . victoria : oh , great . well , i appreciate your enthusiasm , but it 's gon na have to wait till tomorrow because i have plans . billy : plans ? noah : you and that booking agent seemed like you hit it off . devon : seemed pretty impressed with you , too . noah : oh , yeah ? you think ? devon : yeah , dude . he said he 's going to introduce me to a bunch of artists that might fit the streaming service , and then when you and nick get your chain of live - music venues up and running , they have a bunch of places to play . noah : and then you and i can cross - promote our businesses , which is ... devon : exactly . noah : yeah . devon : productive all around . noah : you know , this whole festival -- it 's been amazing . the tunes , the business connections -- i got to say , thank you for letting me and tessa tag along . i really appreciate it . devon : my pleasure , man . my pleasure . hey , there 's actually a band i want to check out that 's coming on pretty soon . noah : yeah , yeah . let me just call tessa and see if the girls want to meet up with us . devon : sure . noah : oh , shoot . i do n't have my phone . devon : where 's it at ? did you leave it at the meeting ? noah : no . you know , it 's probably in my bag back at the room . devon : okay . we have time . we can go swing by , pick up tessa and mariah , and have time to get back here and have some fun . noah : cool . sharon : busted ! should n't you be at work ? nick : well , that 's the thing about building a terrific team . you can take off whenever you want , go lounge by the pool and have some drinks . you want to join me ? sharon : i 'll ... pull up another chair . nick : who is that for -- your imaginary friend ? sharon : [ chuckles ] i 'm meeting scott here . nick : right . okay . well , if that 's the case , maybe you 'd be more comfortable at that table back there . scott : can you hear anything ? 'cause , uh , i can't . abby : i was n't eavesdropping . scott : what were you doing ? abby : i 'm waiting to meet with my dad . and what about you ? are you just roaming the hallways , randomly scaring executives , or do you actually serve a purpose around here ? scott : i was summoned to the big office , as well . victor wanted to go over some numbers with newman digital media . abby : hmm . same . i 'm updating him on my startup incubator project . scott : why does he keep doing this -- scheduling our meetings at the same time ? our divisions have nothing in common with each other . abby : well , that 's fine by me . my numbers are great . you know what ? maybe he 's trying to light a fire under you and that money - loser you 're running for him . victor : is he there now ? mm - hmm . you know what to do . nikki : well , it 's a good thing i 'm not that hungry , because you managed to catch the world 's smallest trout . jack : do not blame the fisherman . blame the equipment . nikki : okay . jack : i 'm serious . that old rod and reel held me back . if i 'd have had that beauty that you gave me -- nikki : you are right . it would have been perfection . jack : excuse me . i just caught us dinner . nikki : okay . well , you enjoy the spoils of your hunt . i 'm gon na stick with veggies . jack : nonsense . we will both feast on my bounty . nikki : [ laughs ] [ whistles ] well , that 's gon na be a neat trick , because i have seen guppies bigger than that . jack : watch and learn , lady . watch and learn . additional sponsorship abby : i just saw the facilities manager in reception . does that mean we 'll be remodeling the executive suites ? victor : we 'll be starting very soon . abby : great ! well , i will be ready to move in to my temporary office tomorrow , while this guy -- his office is a mess -- it 'll take a week to wade through all the junk that he 's managed to squirrel away in there . scott : every bit of that junk represents a project , a story , something important . i feel like a clean , immaculate desk actually says you 're not pulling your weight . victor : oh , yeah ? abby : [ chuckles ] scott : or it means you 're the boss . abby : or it means you 're organized and efficient and not a pack rat . scott : look , i 'll be ready for the move . do n't worry . victor : all right . please have a seat . so ... who wants to go first ? abby ? abby : okay . well , my startup incubator project is blowing up . word is getting around fast . people are actually approaching me to become a part of it . victor : really ? ! abby : yes . i just signed a second tenant that was referred to me by zack , and he has a very interesting gps platform . he 'll be moving in soon . that with the tenant that i signed today -- that makes three . our first project that we 're gon na be rolling out is zack 's dating app . we 're in beta testing now . victor : he the fella who took you to the party ? abby : yes . victor : and you believe in him ? abby : i believe in everyone i take on as a partner . if i had my doubts , then i 'd pass . i learned that from you . scott : and you also date all your business partners ? abby : beats dating one of the boss 's ex - wives . victor : well , abby , 2 , you , 0 . time for you to catch up . sharon : you know , we could talk about you and noah expanding the underground . we could talk about noah 's trip to the music festival in san francisco . or how 'bout the coincidence of this young woman i 've been trying to help at the crisis hotline turning up in your office ? i mean , we could talk about a lot of interesting topics , but you chose to take another shot at the man that i 'm dating . so , is this how it 's gon na be from now on ? nick : look , i do n't want to talk about him , either . sharon : well , i think the only reason you do n't like scott is because ... he 's close to victor . nick : okay , look , the guy 's got a chip on shoulder for me , too , and you know it , all right ? look , we do n't have to be friends , all right ? not everybody has to like each other . let 's just let it go . sharon : well , i can't . nick : why not ? sharon : because faith is going to be home from camp soon , and i 'm gon na want to introduce them and explain to her that we 're dating . nick : well , what if when faith does come home , you guys are n't together anymore ? sharon : just ... promise me that you wo n't badmouth scott to faith . nick : i would never do that . sharon : okay . well , i never thought that you would end up in a fistfight with victor at a charity event honoring your mother , but there it was , on `` the hilary hour , `` for all the world to see . nick : look , i have never said a bad word to faith about my dad . and i wo n't do it about scott , either . mariah : i 'm so sorry . i 'm so sorry . i do n't know where that ... came from . i -- please do n't be upset . tessa : i 'm not , mariah . mariah : i 've never done anything like that before . that does n't -- it does n't make any sense . i 'm -- i 'm -- i 'm -- i 'm so sorry . it was like an impulse . i 've never done this before . i 'm sorry . tessa : you 've said that already . mariah : i did . i did say that . i did . i 'm so sorry . i 'm so sorry . i 'm so sorry . tessa : you need to stop apologizing . billy : so , we can afford to take the night off , huh ? what happened to weekends and late nights and all that fun stuff ? victoria : you know what ? if we keep burning our candle at both ends , we 're gon na be too exhausted to do our job . besides , my doctor told me that i need to rest . billy : yeah ? your headache 's gone ? victoria : my mild concussion , which was just that -- a mild concussion with no lingering effects -- it 's fine . a night off to recharge is gon na make me feel even better . it 'll make you feel better , too . billy : [ sighs ] i 'd be a fool to argue with that one . victoria : good . billy : so , what are you gon na do ? you gon na hang out with the kids ? victoria : uh , no . i 'm just taking a little `` me `` time . hannah 's gon na watch the kids tonight . billy : what are these plans that you mentioned ? benjamin : knock , knock . victoria : benjamin , hi . benjamin : i realize we were supposed to be meeting at the club , but my mother raised me to be a gentleman . i came to pick you up . victoria : right . you want to get a little look - see at my lab . benjamin : well , my mom also raised me to be pretty smart , too . uh , i 'll bet you 're ... billy abbott . benjamin hochman . yeah . well , i guess victoria 's my ... date . lauren : why is this a perfect plan ? phyllis : because if victoria is spending time with someone else , she 'll be too busy to occupy all of billy 's time . lauren : mm . and that somebody else is benjamin hochman ? phyllis : yep . why not ? lauren : uh ... phyllis : look , he 's sleazy . i get it . but he 's also handsome . he 's charming . he 's a pretty good businessman . i mean , that 's the real reason i want them to hit it off . lauren : i can not wait to hear the logic behind this . phyllis : brash & sassy ! is in trouble . he 's a venture capitalist . lauren : mm . polite term for that . phyllis : okay . so , he has dismantled his share of companies and put up condos where they should be , but he has also snatched those operations from the jaws of death , okay ? he 's turned them profitable . he 's gon na swoop in , resurrect brash & sassy ! , and billy 's gon na be a 9 : 00-to-5 : 00er again . boom . lauren : or he could be true to form and make it such a mess for those two to clean up , if victoria even has a company left . phyllis : victoria 's very smart . she 's not gon na let him take advantage . i think it 's good , as far as i 'm concerned . lauren : hmm . could be a kink in your plan . phyllis : impossible ! lauren : possible . hochman is a giant flirt . victoria 's single . you know , what if he makes it a personal venture instead of just a professional one ? phyllis : then that 's a win - win - win . victoria : this is not really a date -- it 's business . benjamin : well , in that case , i guess i 'll cancel the violinist and the roses and pick up a copy of the wall street journal to bring along . billy : that 's funny . why are you in our neighborhood ? benjamin : networking . my goal of this trip was to come and meet the most promising young c.e.o.s in this part of the state , to explore opportunities , build new connections . now , lucky for me , when i called victoria , she was available . billy : hmm . benjamin : oh . [ cellphone rings ] excuse me . hochman . yeah . billy : hey . this guy is all about a fire sale . victoria : you know him ? billy : by reputation . he buys distressed companies and shutters the doors and repurposes the relisting . victoria : i know all about benjamin 's business practices , okay ? but he 's incredibly well connected . i 'm gon na make sure to mention that brash & sassy ! is on the cusp of a new era . we 've got profit coming down the pike . he 's gon na spread the word to his inner circle . next thing you know , we 're gon na be at the talk of the town again , in a good way . billy : a few days ago , you told me not to lie . victoria : billy , i 'm not lying . i 'm just accentuating the positive . billy : this is a risk . you know that . victoria : okay . it 's a calculated risk . but trust me . i know what i 'm doing . billy : [ sighs ] benjamin : ready to go ? victoria : yeah , i am -- more than ready . good night . billy : mm - hmm . mariah : so , you 're -- you 're okay with what just happened ? tessa : mariah ... it 's like you said . it was an impulse . i mean , we 're here in san fran at an amazing music festival , experiencing things and connecting . i think we both ... got a little carried away . mariah : yeah . yeah . that 's , um -- that 's exactly what happened . tessa : we 're both dating great people . mariah : we are . tessa : so ... let 's just put that kiss in a vault and keep it there . okay ? devon : hey , you two ! noah : ladies . tessa : hi ! well , you seem excited . did the meeting go well ? noah : oh , the meeting was fantastic . tessa : oh ! well , tell me what happened . mariah : hi . noah : i will , but first ... [ smooching ] lauren : hey , do you want to order in from that new italian restaurant downtown ? we could go over these sales numbers eating penne arrabbiata . phyllis : you know , i 'm not that hungry . lauren : hmm . well , there 's always room for wine . do you have any red ? phyllis : no . i do n't have white , either . lauren : you do n't have wine ? phyllis : i know . i know . i 've been meaning to restock . lauren : okay . straight to work , then . phyllis : um ... can we ... do this tomorrow morning ? lauren : are you trying to get rid of me ? oh , my -- [ door opens ] billy : hi , lauren . lauren : hey ! look who 's home ! phyllis : i 'm a little surprised . i thought you were gon na be working all night . billy : yeah . so did i . billy : i hope i 'm not interrupting ladies ' night . lauren : not at all . i was just leaving . billy : you 're not saying that for my benefit , are you ? lauren : not at all . i have plans . nice to see you , bill . billy : you , too . lauren : you owe me a bottle of wine . phyllis : i will make it a case . billy : after our talk last night , i wanted to take a little free time . phyllis : really ? did you make a pit stop ? billy : yes , i did . supplies , my love . phyllis : what ? ! margaritas ? ! billy : that 's right . you want in ? phyllis : [ laughs ] well , i was gon na get some work done , but , you know , considering ... how much ... trouble you went through , okay . billy : good answer . i 'll take that . scott : so , i 've dispatched a reporter to cover the aftermath , and she 's gon na be on the ground , interviewing witnesses , survivors . so ... closer to home , i decided to write an exposé myself on sex trafficking in the midwest . it 's a bad situation , and it 's getting a lot worse , especially for the women who are roped into it -- find themselves trapped with no way out . victor : that sounds compelling . scott : it 's the nightmare next door that almost no one knows about . abby : i applaud you for wanting to make the public aware of such a horrific story . scott : you do ? abby : i do , but you should n't split your focus . scott : by all means , abby , why do n't you tell me how to do my job ? abby : i 'd be happy to . since you are in charge of the business end of things , i think you should assign another reporter to write the story , preferably a female . that way you can focus on making your division more profitable . scott : a lot of editors and publishers at successful magazines write stories on their own . this is a big story -- one that could get hashtag and newman digital media noticed in a crowded marketplace and improve my numbers . i can do this justice , victor , but you need to trust me the way you 're trusting abby with her startups . victor : all right . good presentation . scott : thank you . victor : but i expect both of your divisions to show improved numbers at the end of the quarter , right abby : yeah . scott : let the games begin . victor : now , if you do n't mind , i need to make an important phone call . abby : yes . scott : thank you , victor . victor : all right . thank you for coming by . abby : thanks , daddy . victor : bye , sweetheart . jack : okay , maybe not the biggest fish in the lake , but hopefully the tastiest . nikki : my goodness . first a frittata , and now this ? you know , when we were married , you did n't step foot in the kitchen . jack : my culinary skills are a work in progress . cross your fingers . maybe the trout 's better than my fancy omelet . nikki : [ chuckles ] well ... let 's see . jack : well ? nikki : that 's not bad ! jack : yeah ? nikki : but , you know , next time ... maybe we could cook together . there is going to be a next time , is n't there ? jack : i 'm counting on it . nikki : well , as fun and distracting as this is , perhaps it 's time that we should finally talk about that elephant in the room . jack : does that elephant have a moustache ? noah : so , the guy said he 'll come down to the underground on open - mic night and check out the scene . mariah : nice ! devon : that 's right , and he was very impressed with you , tessa . tessa : what ? how ? i was n't even there . noah : devon showed him a video of one of your performances -- you know , my favorite one -- and you know what he said ? he said that you should have had a deal signed a long time ago . tessa : really ? noah : yeah . so , maybe one day you will be headlining this festival yourself . devon : absolutely . until then , though , let 's get out there . there 's a lot of good music going to waste . noah : yeah . let me just grab my phone . devon : hey , you know what , guys ? i just want to take this time real quick to say i 'm really happy that mariah asked you two to come along , 'cause i 'm having a great time with you all . noah : ah , you know , every once in a while , she has a pretty good idea . mariah : gee . thanks . noah : okay . so , when we get back to the festival , we 're splitting up , right ? you two wanted to see that [ laughing ] norwegian punk band . i 'm sorry . and then we 'll go catch the one you were telling me about on the main stage , right ? mariah : you know , i , uh -- i think i changed my mind . i just feel like punk would mess with this chill vibe that i have going right now . and the festival 's coming to an end , we 're gon na be leaving soon , so , noah , why do n't you take tessa ? you guys go do your own thing , and devon and i will do ours . devon : are you sure ? i do n't want you missing anybody you want to see . mariah : no , no . it really does n't matter . i thought about it , and , uh , you know , we deserve some couple time . so , what do you say ? noah : sounds good to me . mariah : you okay with that ? tessa : yeah , most definitely . noah : okay . meet you guys back at the vip tent later ? devon : cool . yeah . mariah : let 's do this . yeah ! [ laughs ] devon : okay . ready ? mariah : yeah . `` the young and the restless `` will continue . jack : there are people , my sister included , who look at this , whatever this is , and wonder if i have an agenda with you -- if maybe the reason we 're together is to somehow get under victor 's skin . nikki : well , excuse me . i take umbrage at that . jack : do you ? nikki : who says you 're the only one in that driver 's seat ? like i 'm not making my own decisions ? who knows what 's going to happen ? we 're going to have to let time determine that . all i know is right now , i am doing exactly what i want . i want to be with you . i want to be here in this beautiful cabin with you . and i wanted it to be tonight , so that 's good enough for me . jack : it 's enough for me , too . uh , full disclosure ? i realize i am poking the tiger -- not on purpose , but there are bound to be repercussions , for which i take full responsibility . if victor has any issues , that 's my problem , not yours . if you find this to be too messy or too much stress , i can back off . nikki : and i just said you 're not the only one in that driver 's seat . open wide . sharon : so , scott 's putting together a series of articles covering the type of crime ring that poor crystal got involved in . nick : that 's a good idea . it could help these other girls learn what to look for with these predators and steer clear of them . sharon : i hope so . scott : hey . sorry i 'm late . sharon : oh , hey . scott : victor wanted an update with hashtag . nick : oh , and i bet you told him exactly what he wanted to hear , right ? sharon : can we please not do this ? scott : you know , i 'm not victor 's yes man . nick : you know , i do n't get it . you 're supposed to be this razor - sharp reporter , and you ca n't seem to figure out who my dad really is . scott : well , my eyes are wide open . maybe you 're the one who needs a new perspective on things . nick : i bet you 're just dying to give it to me , right ? so , go ahead . school me , scotty . scott : [ sighs ] look , my father died when i was young . i do n't remember him at all -- not his face , his voice , nothing . i 'd give anything to take that back -- go back in time and get that -- but i can't . so , here you are , willing to throw away your whole relationship with victor . nick : i 've known my dad my entire life . you 've known him , what , a couple months ? the last thing i need to hear is a lecture from you about my dad . phyllis : how can i help ? billy : oh , no , no , no . you kick back and relax . this is all about me apologizing for my behavior lately . phyllis : ohh . you do n't need to do that . billy : i want to . i need to . i 've been obsessing about work lately , and you were right to call me out on it . i get the jackass of the week award for even implying that brash & sassy ! or victoria are more important than you , the most beautiful woman in my life , the most important woman in my life . phyllis : cheers to that . billy : mm . so , you would n't guess in a million years why i 'm actually not at work . victoria has dinner with one of the biggest sharks in the corporate world . told her it was a bad idea , and , of course , she said she knew what she was doing . phyllis : margaritas are amazing . billy : benjamin hochman . you know the guy , right ? phyllis : sure . yeah , i know who he is . victoria : oh , that 's my brother nicholas over there ! benjamin : oh . we 've never met . you 'll have to introduce me ... some other time . i 'm more interested in getting better acquainted with you . victoria : well , to know my company is to know me . benjamin : oh . then , by all means , tell me about brash & sassy ! victoria : well , dare , our new men 's body spray , is flying off the shelves , and part of the excitement is due to a lucrative tie - in deal that we forged with professional hockey . benjamin : wow . victoria : yes . it 's a big get for our company . and i think it 's one of the big reasons why our sales are up across the board . our other products are on an uptick , as well . benjamin : so , your company 's doing exceptional financially ? victoria : yes . never better . and as sole owner , i am calling all the shots . i 've got no partners breathing down my neck or investors clamoring for short- term profits as opposed to long - term successes . benjamin : was that speech for my benefit ? victoria : i 'm just trying to be up front with you . that 's all . benjamin : [ chuckles ] while i have been that investor that you described -- mr . bottom line -- i can be flexible , depending on the situation . victoria : ah . interesting . that 's not what i 've heard . benjamin : i 'm aware of the reputation that i have to be results - oriented to the exclusion of everything else . and it 's an incomplete assessment , victoria , not to mention unfair . victoria : really ? benjamin : it 's all about the people that i work with . it begins and ends there -- with personal relationships that you build , nurture , to mutual benefit . victoria : i am actually all about personal relationships . in fact , some of the best deals that i 've ever made have been with people that i admire . benjamin : do you admire me ? victoria : i hardly know you . benjamin : then let 's take a sledgehammer into all these pesky barriers that we all put up in social situations -- get real with each other . victoria : or we could just continue talking about my company . benjamin : i can see that you 're hesitant , so i 'll start . i 'm a lifelong resident of chicago , divorced . i enjoy sailing , tennis , golf . if it 's athletic , i 've done it . won a trophy . see ? it 's not hard to share . your turn . victoria : why does it sound like we 're filling out an online dating profile ? benjamin : [ chuckling ] scoff all you want , but those apps have it figured out . victoria : oh , really ? so , how many services have you signed up for ? benjamin : i 'm a people person , remember ? i prefer meeting face to face , like now . so ? victoria : [ sighs ] okay . i am a lifelong resident of wisconsin , also divorced . you met one of my exes back at the office -- billy abbott . but i am also married -- to my work . benjamin : [ chuckles ] yes . are n't we all ? victoria : as far as hobbies go , i like horseback riding and painting , and i actually have a few medals for various equestrian events myself . benjamin : nice ! victoria : yes , but i have n't had time for either one of those for quite a while . benjamin : and who is victoria newman ... in there ? victoria : well , i 'm not a game - player . what you see is what you get . benjamin : can i say i like what i see ? victoria : as long as i can say it 's incredibly amusing watching you being so transparent right now . benjamin : [ chuckles ] coming off a little strong , huh ? victoria : well , you know , it does make me wonder if you 're trying to get me to drop my guard so i 'll do something stupid , something that i 'll regret later . benjamin : such as ? victoria : such as selling you a piece of my company or bringing you on as a consultant when i do n't want or need one . benjamin : hey , admit it . i have a certain style . you either like it or you don't . but you can rest assured , victoria , i 'm not trying to sucker you . my motive here is just to get to know you , and i meant what i said . i do like what i see .

[ scene_break ] ric : hey . how was your session with dr. winters ? alexis : it was helpful . ric : oh , that 's nice -- and vague . alexis : the whole point of me going to see a psychiatrist is to pay her to listen to me so that you do n't have to . ric : yeah , well , i 'm willing to hear anything that you feel like telling me . alexis : we talked about strategy . we talked about having a positive attitude . ric : mm - hmm ? alexis : she 's not living with sonny . i have custody . he 's got visitation . we talked about how it 's possible that sonny was n't responsible for reese 's car exploding . could have been an unfortunate coincidence . ric : good . alexis : which begs the question of when having a positive attitude crosses the line into outright denial , and that 's when the hour was up . ric : i see . alexis : so i guess we 'll talk about that at another session . ric : mm - hmm . alexis : your eyes are glazing over . ric : no , they are not . my eyes are sparkling with admiration . you are doing something that 's very difficult , and you 're handling it remarkably well . alexis : that remains to be seen . ric : if it 's any help at all , i think you might be right about the explosion . reese did put a number of criminals away in prison and she was in the media in connection with michael 's kidnapping . it 's possible that one of her enemies found her here . alexis : so you do n't think sonny was involved ? ric : i 'm not going to know that until after i talk with reese . alexis : can i sit on the interrogation ? ric : hmm -- alexis : okay , i just thought i 'd ask . i know , you 're the d.a . and i 'm just an attorney with a private practice who has nothing to do with this case , except that my daughter does have visits in the house where the bomb exploded , but -- ric : okay . alexis : you know , things happen . apparently , it happens there all the time . hi , jason . jason : yeah . agent marshall 's room around here ? ric : she was just brought up from the e.r . , but i think there was some sort of delay . listen , before you go , jason , i need to speak with you about your whereabouts last night . will you excuse me ? alexis : certainly . ric : thanks . jason : i 'll tell you what i told durant . i was at my apartment with -- ric : wait , durant questioned you about this ? jason : you guys are n't working together ? ric : no , just the opposite . look , reese called me last night and left a message on my voicemail . she wanted to talk to me about john durant . a half- hour later , her car exploded . [ scene_break ] carly : a lot of people have died in connection with the kidnappings -- sonny 's guard rollo , faith was assassinated . i just -- i do n't see john taking that kind of a risk . because if he got caught , he would be convicted of the very crimes that he prosecutes . lorenzo : perhaps he 's arrogant enough to think he could get away with it . carly : he 'd be risking a murder conviction , along with kidnapping the kids . that 's a federal offense . i do n't know , he 's too smart for that . the risks , they outweigh the benefits . i know he wants my love , but -- uh - uh , i do n't think he did it . it 's somebody else . lorenzo : all right . what do you need from me ? carly : you know , you 've given me everything just by listening and forgiving me for suspecting you . i 'm so sorry about that , lorenzo . lorenzo : yeah , it really hurt that you doubted me . but i guess , based on our past , you have your reasons . carly : i do trust you . and i want you in my life . i just need to get michael home first , you know ? it 's the most important thing right now . i need to hold him again . i need to know he 's safe . but once i do and i can think about myself again , i really -- wow , lorenzo , i hope you 'll be there . lorenzo : i will be . i 'll do whatever you need .

[ krystal sighs ] krystal : david just keeps showing up in my dreams kind of like in those movies where the bad guy -- you think he 's dead and then , wham , there he is . tad : well , as much as i may hate his guts , kind of makes sense . you know , two people share a child , two people lose a child , there 's a bond . krystal : no , but you know , we did n't make babe out of love . i mean , david hayward was one mistake on some lonely night . david has absolutely nothing to do with who babe was . tad : i 'm not implying he does . krystal : i just wish i would dream about babe . i mean , i wish she would just come to me and talk to me and tell me that she 's ok , but no . tad : honey , honey , honey , you 're doing it again . so you had a dream about hayward , big deal . that 's all it was , was just a dream . krystal : no , they 're more than that . they 're more like premonitions , you know ? and they scare the hell out of me . [ phone rings ] tad : yeah . tad : oh , god . please , please tell me that aidan came out of surgery ok . jake : well , that 's the thing . he has n't even gone in yet . he just woke up and , apparently , he does n't want to do it . i -- i do n't understand but i was thinking , you know , maybe you 're his old pal -- tad : thanks for calling . i -- i 'll be right there . baby , i got to get to the hospital . krystal : no , i 'll come with you . [ scene_break ] ryan : you ca n't do this , annie . you ca n't shoot me . your little girl 's right upstairs , and she 'll always know that mommy shot daddy and killed him . and above all else , you have always wanted to protect and be there for emma . annie : emma needs her family back . she needs a home with her mother and her father . she -- she needs to feel safe . ryan : i know , i know . and despite everything that you 've done , you 've always wanted to keep emma safe . annie : it was di . it was her fault . ryan : if that 's true , then why are you pointing a gun at me right now ? annie : because you refuse to see , ryan . you refuse to accept that she 's made a fool out of you . she 's been using you . greenlee . [ scene_break ] aidan : annie saw how angry i was . she saw how empty i felt . she took a chance . she told me that she had a plan . she was going to get ryan away from you . she swore to me that emma would be safe . she would get ryan back and then the -- and i would get you back . and this was -- this was right before the tornadoes hit . greenlee : and then what happened ? aidan : i came looking for you and ryan -- [ aidan winces ] aidan : and i was going to tell you everything that -- that annie told me . [ aidan winces , then sighs ] aidan : and then i saw you and ryan together . you were looking at ryan the way you once looked at me . i did n't know what to do . my whole world had turned upside down . [ scene_break ] annie : it 's greenlee making all these insane accusations and you 're believing her , because she wants to take emma away from me again , because -- because she wants to take away all my hope . ryan : this is n't greenlee , annie . this is me , ok ? now , i -- i want you to look at me , just -- just really look at me and know that all i 'm after here is the truth , ok ? that 's it . for emma 's sake and -- and -- and for our family 's sake , ok ? and if you want to shoot me because of that , then you 're going to have to go ahead and shoot me , because i 'm not going to leave here any other way without knowing exactly what happened . now , if you did do it , i just want you to think of emma , and i want you to tell me the truth , ok , and i will help you . annie : i ca n't kill you . i love you . it 's true , all of it . i planned the whole thing . god help me , i had to have you back , and it was the only way -- the only way . ryan : tell me . tell me everything . annie : my whole world was falling apart . i lost you . i lost emma . nobody believed me that i was being stalked or that i had been attacked . that part was real , ryan , i swear . i had to do something or else i was going to go crazy , and i could n't let that happen . i needed to -- i needed to feel in control of something again . i needed to get it all back . ryan : how could you possibly have thought that kidnapping our daughter would get it all back ? annie : greenlee 's blinded you . she 's tricked you . she 's tricked you into thinking you still have the same feelings for her that you used to have , but you do n't . i know you do n't , because i know how you feel about me . my plan was n't perfect . ok , i know that , and i know some things went wrong , but you have to know that i always made sure that emma was safe . ryan : but emma was n't safe , was she ? annie : well , i did n't know that di was going to turn on me like that . but she found out what was happening . she just decided to take things into her own hands . i swear , ryan , that was not an act . if i had n't fought her for that gun , she would have killed me . if she had just kept her mouth shut and waited , everything would have been fine but instead -- ryan : instead , aidan is in the hospital , and he could die . [ scene_break ] aidan : then the tornadoes had passed , and i found out that annie had gone through with her plan . greenlee : why did n't you tell ryan or the police ? aidan : i did n't know everything that annie had planned , where emma was or who else was involved . i just -- i thought that -- that i could find emma , and i could bring her back safe , if i could just play along with -- with annie , if i could just make annie believe that i was doing this to get you away from ryan . greenlee : when were you going to say something ? aidan : when i knew that emma was safe . i screwed up . my feelings get in the way . i understand . greenlee : what ? aidan : why you do n't believe me . greenlee : but i do . i do believe you , and annie 's not going to get away with this . but before you help put her away , you have to give them permission to fix you up . aidan : i 've -- i 've told you everything that you need to know . now just -- just go away . [ scene_break ] krystal : oh , tad , tad , you go ahead . um , i 'll be right there . hey . are you ok ? something happen at home ? angie : jesse was already home with rebecca when i got there . we sat down and had some dinner . she knew him better than i did . krystal : i 'm sure she felt the same way about you . angie : a part of me could n't take it and part of me felt that i should give rebecca time alone with jesse . she has so little of it left . now i 'm regretting it . krystal : keeping a marriage on track is n't easy . i mean , it 's tough enough as it is without somebody popping up from the past , somebody with a deep connection . complicates the hell out of things . angie : complicates ? that 's an understatement . krystal : angie , i do n't know anybody who could have been as together or as understanding as you 've been . angie : oh , god , you know to -- to hell with being so damn understanding . i 'm sick of it . [ scene_break ] tad : so , what the hell 's going on with aidan ? greenlee : you 'll have to find that out yourself . i ca n't get through to him . maybe you can . please try . jake : why -- why is he refusing ? why -- why ca n't you get through to him ? greenlee : believe me , jake , i 'm the last person he needs right now .

[ aidan sighs ] tad : besides , what are you bitching about ? i 'm unarmed . aidan : yeah , well , i 'm glad -- well , someone already got there first . tad : yeah , so i hear . hurts , does n't it ? so , why are you standing in the way of everybody around here ? let them do their jobs . aidan : this -- this operation is risky . i do n't like the odds . tad : really ? [ tad chuckles ] tad : well , when have you ever given a damn about the odds ? huh ? the odds are worse if you do n't get that operation . come on . you 're a soldier . you know as well as i do -- eventually that bullet 's going to shift . if it tears anything open around the neighborhood of your heart , things are going to get messy real quick . aidan : well , you can have my stuff when i 'm gone . tad : really ? oh , sweet . i feel so much better . you know , i walked in here , i was bummed because , you know -- what 's the deal , fish and chips ? why are you standing in the way of this operation ? aidan : i screwed up . tad : oh . no , you did n't , mate . emma 's alive . aidan : and di is dead . and greenlee would have been , too , if i had n't dived in the way of that bullet . [ scene_break ] annie : that 's the last thing i wanted to have happen , aidan getting hurt , but i did n't shoot him , di did . ryan : she was aiming for you . annie : all i was thinking about was you and emma . think back with me , think back to our wedding day . we were so , so happy . and i know -- i know i 've made some mistakes . but loving you was n't one of them . i mean , was that really so wrong of me to fall in love with you ? ryan : no , annie . annie : so then , why ca n't you just admit how you feel about me ? i know -- i know you love me , ryan . otherwise , you would have gone to the police the second that you thought that i was involved in this kidnapping , but you did n't . it had to be for a reason . ryan : there was a reason , annie . i wanted to make sure that emma was all right . annie : i think you also wanted to make sure that i was all right . do n't deny it , ryan . i saw it in your eyes . and that island , that morning , i felt it in your kiss . tell me you still love me .

[ krystal sighs ] krystal : david just keeps showing up in my dreams kind of like in those movies where the bad guy -- you think he 's dead and then , wham , there he is . tad : well , as much as i may hate his guts , kind of makes sense . you know , two people share a child , two people lose a child , there 's a bond . krystal : no , but you know , we did n't make babe out of love . i mean , david hayward was one mistake on some lonely night . david has absolutely nothing to do with who babe was . tad : i 'm not implying he does . krystal : i just wish i would dream about babe . i mean , i wish she would just come to me and talk to me and tell me that she 's ok , but no . tad : honey , honey , honey , you 're doing it again . so you had a dream about hayward , big deal . that 's all it was , was just a dream . krystal : no , they 're more than that . they 're more like premonitions , you know ? and they scare the hell out of me . [ phone rings ] tad : yeah . tad : oh , god . please , please tell me that aidan came out of surgery ok . jake : well , that 's the thing . he has n't even gone in yet . he just woke up and , apparently , he does n't want to do it . i -- i do n't understand but i was thinking , you know , maybe you 're his old pal -- tad : thanks for calling . i -- i 'll be right there . baby , i got to get to the hospital . krystal : no , i 'll come with you . [ scene_break ] ryan : you ca n't do this , annie . you ca n't shoot me . your little girl 's right upstairs , and she 'll always know that mommy shot daddy and killed him . and above all else , you have always wanted to protect and be there for emma . annie : emma needs her family back . she needs a home with her mother and her father . she -- she needs to feel safe . ryan : i know , i know . and despite everything that you 've done , you 've always wanted to keep emma safe . annie : it was di . it was her fault . ryan : if that 's true , then why are you pointing a gun at me right now ? annie : because you refuse to see , ryan . you refuse to accept that she 's made a fool out of you . she 's been using you . greenlee . [ scene_break ] aidan : annie saw how angry i was . she saw how empty i felt . she took a chance . she told me that she had a plan . she was going to get ryan away from you . she swore to me that emma would be safe . she would get ryan back and then the -- and i would get you back . and this was -- this was right before the tornadoes hit . greenlee : and then what happened ? aidan : i came looking for you and ryan -- [ aidan winces ] aidan : and i was going to tell you everything that -- that annie told me . [ aidan winces , then sighs ] aidan : and then i saw you and ryan together . you were looking at ryan the way you once looked at me . i did n't know what to do . my whole world had turned upside down . [ scene_break ] annie : it 's greenlee making all these insane accusations and you 're believing her , because she wants to take emma away from me again , because -- because she wants to take away all my hope . ryan : this is n't greenlee , annie . this is me , ok ? now , i -- i want you to look at me , just -- just really look at me and know that all i 'm after here is the truth , ok ? that 's it . for emma 's sake and -- and -- and for our family 's sake , ok ? and if you want to shoot me because of that , then you 're going to have to go ahead and shoot me , because i 'm not going to leave here any other way without knowing exactly what happened . now , if you did do it , i just want you to think of emma , and i want you to tell me the truth , ok , and i will help you . annie : i ca n't kill you . i love you . it 's true , all of it . i planned the whole thing . god help me , i had to have you back , and it was the only way -- the only way . ryan : tell me . tell me everything . annie : my whole world was falling apart . i lost you . i lost emma . nobody believed me that i was being stalked or that i had been attacked . that part was real , ryan , i swear . i had to do something or else i was going to go crazy , and i could n't let that happen . i needed to -- i needed to feel in control of something again . i needed to get it all back . ryan : how could you possibly have thought that kidnapping our daughter would get it all back ? annie : greenlee 's blinded you . she 's tricked you . she 's tricked you into thinking you still have the same feelings for her that you used to have , but you do n't . i know you do n't , because i know how you feel about me . my plan was n't perfect . ok , i know that , and i know some things went wrong , but you have to know that i always made sure that emma was safe . ryan : but emma was n't safe , was she ? annie : well , i did n't know that di was going to turn on me like that . but she found out what was happening . she just decided to take things into her own hands . i swear , ryan , that was not an act . if i had n't fought her for that gun , she would have killed me . if she had just kept her mouth shut and waited , everything would have been fine but instead -- ryan : instead , aidan is in the hospital , and he could die . [ scene_break ] aidan : then the tornadoes had passed , and i found out that annie had gone through with her plan . greenlee : why did n't you tell ryan or the police ? aidan : i did n't know everything that annie had planned , where emma was or who else was involved . i just -- i thought that -- that i could find emma , and i could bring her back safe , if i could just play along with -- with annie , if i could just make annie believe that i was doing this to get you away from ryan . greenlee : when were you going to say something ? aidan : when i knew that emma was safe . i screwed up . my feelings get in the way . i understand . greenlee : what ? aidan : why you do n't believe me . greenlee : but i do . i do believe you , and annie 's not going to get away with this . but before you help put her away , you have to give them permission to fix you up . aidan : i 've -- i 've told you everything that you need to know . now just -- just go away . [ scene_break ] krystal : oh , tad , tad , you go ahead . um , i 'll be right there . hey . are you ok ? something happen at home ? angie : jesse was already home with rebecca when i got there . we sat down and had some dinner . she knew him better than i did . krystal : i 'm sure she felt the same way about you . angie : a part of me could n't take it and part of me felt that i should give rebecca time alone with jesse . she has so little of it left . now i 'm regretting it . krystal : keeping a marriage on track is n't easy . i mean , it 's tough enough as it is without somebody popping up from the past , somebody with a deep connection . complicates the hell out of things . angie : complicates ? that 's an understatement . krystal : angie , i do n't know anybody who could have been as together or as understanding as you 've been . angie : oh , god , you know to -- to hell with being so damn understanding . i 'm sick of it . [ scene_break ] tad : so , what the hell 's going on with aidan ? greenlee : you 'll have to find that out yourself . i ca n't get through to him . maybe you can . please try . jake : why -- why is he refusing ? why -- why ca n't you get through to him ? greenlee : believe me , jake , i 'm the last person he needs right now .

[ aidan sighs ] tad : besides , what are you bitching about ? i 'm unarmed . aidan : yeah , well , i 'm glad -- well , someone already got there first . tad : yeah , so i hear . hurts , does n't it ? so , why are you standing in the way of everybody around here ? let them do their jobs . aidan : this -- this operation is risky . i do n't like the odds . tad : really ? [ tad chuckles ] tad : well , when have you ever given a damn about the odds ? huh ? the odds are worse if you do n't get that operation . come on . you 're a soldier . you know as well as i do -- eventually that bullet 's going to shift . if it tears anything open around the neighborhood of your heart , things are going to get messy real quick . aidan : well , you can have my stuff when i 'm gone . tad : really ? oh , sweet . i feel so much better . you know , i walked in here , i was bummed because , you know -- what 's the deal , fish and chips ? why are you standing in the way of this operation ? aidan : i screwed up . tad : oh . no , you did n't , mate . emma 's alive . aidan : and di is dead . and greenlee would have been , too , if i had n't dived in the way of that bullet . [ scene_break ] annie : that 's the last thing i wanted to have happen , aidan getting hurt , but i did n't shoot him , di did . ryan : she was aiming for you . annie : all i was thinking about was you and emma . think back with me , think back to our wedding day . we were so , so happy . and i know -- i know i 've made some mistakes . but loving you was n't one of them . i mean , was that really so wrong of me to fall in love with you ? ryan : no , annie . annie : so then , why ca n't you just admit how you feel about me ? i know -- i know you love me , ryan . otherwise , you would have gone to the police the second that you thought that i was involved in this kidnapping , but you did n't . it had to be for a reason . ryan : there was a reason , annie . i wanted to make sure that emma was all right . annie : i think you also wanted to make sure that i was all right . do n't deny it , ryan . i saw it in your eyes . and that island , that morning , i felt it in your kiss . tell me you still love me .

[ both laugh ] victoria : dad , she knows you too well . victor : she does , indeed . victoria : i do n't even know why you 're bothering . i mean , unless you just enjoy the dance . victor : well , if she wants to dance around this , then , uh ... i have to think of a different angle , do n't i ? victoria : meaning ? me ? you want me to draw information out of ben ? no , dad . no . do not even go there . no . joe : i wanted to deliver these myself . ashley : thank you so much . they 're beautiful . what 's the occasion ? are you trying to woo me over to the dark side ? abby : what dark side ? ashley : a high - rise development that involves razing a city block . abby : oh , so they 're guilt roses . yeah , they do n't smell so sweet now . ashley : abby . joe : more like `` thank you `` flowers for a memorable new year 's eve . ben , right ? we met at the athletic club . stitch : yeah , yeah , that 's right . abby : uh , new year 's eve ? joe : joe clark . you must be abby . abby : yeah , i must be . let 's try this again . new year 's eve ? ashley : joe and i kept each other company . he 's new in town . joe : but your mother and i met years ago in new york . abby : did you now ? and she never mentioned it . joe : you know , i should let you guys get back to work . ashley : oh , yeah . and i guess you need to get back to yours . stitch : yeah , yeah , yeah . your project , right ? joe : i 've seen you at the coffeehouse . you must be friends with mcavoy , right ? stitch : yeah , i am . and you 're the guy leading the charge to flatten crimson lights , right ? abby : wait . that 's where the project is supposed to be ? good luck with that . joe : you know , i 'll save my speech for how we 're creating jobs and reinventing the area . stitch : yeah , and erasing history . you know , but you 'll have to get past mac first , you know , so , fair warning -- wo n't be easy . joe : yeah , so i 've heard . well , it 's always lovely to see you . ashley : you , as well . thank you . okay , anyway , where were we ? we were talking about trying out some fragrances , were n't we ? abby : we were narrowing down a scent for our revolutionary , new fragrance that will drive men crazy , but it looks like someone wo n't need to use it . dylan : you got joe 's number ? avery : i do . and you do n't want it . listen , he 's not gon na reveal the name of his seller . dylan : so he says . avery : it 's not in the best interest of his deal to reveal his client . dylan : yeah , but it 's in the best interest of this town . people do care about crimson lights , and they 're starting to take a stand . avery : i know that , but joe is not the sentimental type . dylan : look , i 've argued with this guy since he came to town . i just need to reason with him . he needs to know that crimson lights is the kind of place that feels like home to a lot of people in this town , maybe even our kids one day . avery : [ sighs ] dylan : i 'll leave that part out . avery : but you 're talking about calling joe , essentially asking for his help . what good can that do ? dylan : what harm can it do ? look , i already promised i 'm not gon na touch the guy again . you 're gon na be right here with me . we 're a team . who can say no to us ? avery : i think we 're about to find out . [ sighs ] sage : it 's not a bluff . it 's in the legal document in your hands . constance 's will states that gabe had to be married in order to receive his inheritance . adam : yeah , a marriage of convenience . is that what it is ? you and goody - goody gabe were running a scam on granny ? sage : you have no clue about the life you stole ! adam : i did n't steal anything ! you handed it to me to protect constance ! now you want to try to cash in by conning me , right ? sage : the way you talk so jaded and vicious , it 's nothing like gabriel . adam : [ laughs ] nothing like gabe . and you 're a poor , naive soul who apparently is n't above blackmail . sage : i 'm not blackmailing you ! i convinced you to honor our agreement . i just spoke your language to do it . adam : yeah , our agreement to protect an elderly , wealthy woman who you apparently loved . now , it seems to me she thought you were this sweet , attentive soul living in the servant 's quarters , not her grandson 's wife . so , you got to forgive me if i 'm not buying into it . sage : okay . it 's in the will . it 's official . adam : yeah , no , i see right here where it says that -- that gabriel had to be married in order to claim his inheritance . this does n't say anything in here about you being his wife . sage : it 's real . we 're married . and , dear husband , do not call me a liar again . billy : why would n't you come to katie 's christening ? you have been there every step of the way . you made her dress . chelsea : christenings are private . billy : yeah , and i 'm her father . chelsea : i 'm stepping back so that you can share the day with katie and her mother , without me . billy : i did n't ask to have it without you . i mean , i want you to -- becca : good afternoon . my name is becca , and i will be serving you today . joe : well , i like this , you calling me for a change . oh . i get it . an ambush . avery : no , it 's not an ambush . i told you i wanted to talk about the project . my client is joining us . dylan : uh , but i 'm not here as a client . [ sighs ] i 'm here as a guy trying to protect a part of this town 's history , protect something that people care about . joe : you know , next time , call me . i do n't have time for this . avery : joe , dylan would like to speak to the seller directly , try to convince him or her not to make the sale . joe : yeah , and how do i get paid if this deal tanks ? dylan : so -- so are you saying for you and the seller , it 's just about making money ? joe : unless i 'm confused about business , yes . dylan : there are other buildings . there 's other blocks in other towns without this kind of history . you can find a new location and still make money . avery : this project , this building , it means too much to too many people . joe , if you 're the man i thought i knew , you 'll tell us who 's behind the sale . victoria : well , the nursery is wonderful . you are the champion of working parents everywhere . victor : is n't it ? i think katie will do just fine here . victoria : i know . victor : i know the feeling . you just want your daughter close to you . victoria : but it feels good to be back , all of the energy and excitement of a new start and a new year . victor : talking about new year 's , reed tells me that ben spent the night . victoria : yeah , he did . he slept on the couch , dad . victor : i see . okay . this getting serious ? victoria : do you like him again now that you know he 's not a killer ? victor : he did n't lie to protect his own skin . he lied to protect his mother . and that , to me , is indicative of a -- of a man . victoria : so then i will not pay him back by spying on him . and whatever ashley is doing at jabot ... victor : i did not say anything like that . victoria : i just know you . victor : but since you brought it up ... victoria : dad . victor : you know ... what ? victoria : it 's because i know you . victor : well , i have someone there , someone else who is doing the spying for me . victoria : who is it ? victor : you would like to know , would n't you ? i 'll tell you when the time is right . victoria : i see . you 're giving me plausible deniability . victor : because you need to devote all of your energy to work and to your family and to your little baby . victoria : wow . you really are on the ben train , are n't you ? victor : well , he is a hell of a step up from that loser billy abbott . billy : if i say to you , chels , i would really like for you to be with me as my daughter reaches this very important milestone -- chelsea : billy , please . billy : why -- why is that not enough for you to want to come with me ? i mean , if privacy is n't the real issue -- chelsea : i just ... i do n't want it to stir up memories . billy : about what ? chelsea : connor 's christening , when victor showed up and adam put the baby in his arms . i - i did n't understand it at the time . billy : victor was blackmailing adam 'cause he knew about dee dee . chelsea : all of the pieces were falling into place . i just did n't see it . and adam and i , we -- we were very happy then , at least i thought we were . and so , looking back , it just -- it tainted everything . billy : and somehow that means you ca n't come to katie 's christening ? chelsea : i am trying not to bring any darkness to your daughter 's special day . billy : that 's not what this is about . chelsea : oh , my god , billy , what are you talking about ? what else could it be about ? you think that i 'm -- becca : would you all like to hear about today 's specials ? adam : [ scoffs ] so this ... has been sitting there in this drawer the whole time for anyone to see ? sage : who would see it ? adam : did constance know that you two were married ? sage : no . i was going to tell her after her health improved . adam : really ? well , you know , you were a little bit late on that one . sage : so it appears . constance did n't want gabriel to float through life like another rich playboy , so she put that stipulation in the will . adam : and gabriel convinced you to go along with the con , hmm ? how 'd he do that ? sage : gabe . gabriel : hmm ? sage : what do you think ? constance 's just gon na open up her vault and send you out in the world to eat , drink , and get lucky ? gabriel : well , i do n't know . a boy can -- can dream , ca n't he ? those are all good things . sage : yes . in moderation . gabriel : money makes things so much easier , does n't it ? sage : hmm . gabriel : i guess i could get a job . [ both laugh ] sage : [ laughing ] can you imagine ? what ? counting cards , as a gigolo ? gabriel : those are both viable options . sage : oh , yeah . then you 'd end up more in debt and be chased by casino security guards and angry husbands . gabriel : details . minor , minor , little details . i do n't worry about that . but this whole marriage thing , it seems so cruel of grandmother , does n't it ? marriage ? sage : totally . i mean , she wants you to be looked after and cared for . ez ! gabriel : as if i know anybody who would want to do that . i know fortune hunters , i know ski bunnies , and i know party girls . maybe i should take out an ad . somebody presentable , boring . think there 's an app for that ? sage : i think we could find a suitable granddaughter - in - law that constance would like . gabriel : hmm . nobody that i know . sage : what about me ? gabriel : what about you ? is that a proposal , miss warner ? sage : say yes , mr. bingham . sage : how did gabriel convince me to marry him ? adam : mm - hmm . sage : he was very persuasive . adam : so , archangel gabriel enlists you to help him get his grubby , little hands on all that bingham money . this guy seems like a real saint . sage : he was a better man than you could ever be . adam : so you keep saying that over and over and over again . but entering a sham marriage just to swindle some money away from your grandmother , that 's pretty devious , is n't it ? hmm ? i mean , unless , of course , that 's -- that 's not what really happened . tell you what . sage , why do n't we try something new here ? sage : like what ? adam : like you telling me the truth . sage : gabriel and i were best friends . we both loved constance . marriage made sense , especially as she got more frail . adam : so , this alleged wedding ... the date . sage : we went to a justice of the peace . he was funny . goofy . like we made a pact in a treehouse . best friends for life . and suddenly , we were husband and wife . when we were driving back home to tell constance the wonderful news , we saw something in the river , a figure , a man , burnt . and gabriel went in to save you . adam : on your wedding day . sage : not even four hours a wife before i became a widow . adam : you were n't really much of a wife , though , were you , if the only reason he married you was to get his grandmother 's money ? sage : he married me for love ! adam : okay . sage : of constance ! adam : okay . all right . great . and you , what 'd you do it for ? sage : i got exactly what i wanted -- money of my own ! adam : what did i tell you about trying to bluff me ? ! billy : just coffee . chelsea : two , please . becca : are you sure ? we have some excellent specials today . chelsea : no , thank you . billy : yeah , we 're good . thanks . chelsea : explain to me how giving you and victoria space , time to spend with your daughter , is somehow an issue for you . billy : because it 's not about me , vick , and the baby . it 's about adam . chelsea : my late husband , who existed . i ca n't erase him , billy . we have had this conversation . billy : i know , and i 'm trying to work on it , okay ? but i 've got to be honest here . chelsea : and i 'm being honest , which is what you asked me to be . so -- so how does this go ? how does this work out , huh ? down the line if i mention something that reminds me of adam , are you gon na get angry every single time ? because i tell you something , that means adam will always be between us -- because of you , not me . ashley : joe is an old friend . abby : oh , an old friend who took you out on the biggest date night of the year and just brought you roses . yeah , i have millions of old friends like that . ashley : okay . let 's get back to work . now we got to try out some fragrances , right ? stitch : yeah , let 's , uh , let 's get back to the lab . what do you say ? ashley : actually , you know what ? i think it might be too sterile there . it 's gon na affect the way the scent distributes . abby : do you want to go in the office ? we could lay them out in there ? ashley : great idea . stitch : okay . hey , uh , because of the competing fragrance , we should probably -- probably lose these roses . ashley : oh . okay . yeah , you 're right . abby : okay , so are we going for what a woman would choose or what men will react to ? ashley : that 's a good question . i think it 's both , actually . because a woman would probably buy it first and then she 'd buy it again if she got the reaction she wanted from the man . and a man would buy it for a woman as a gift , so ... stitch : i had n't thought about it , but it makes sense , you know . when you associate a certain scent with a woman , then , you know , it 's ... abby : oh , like her perfume or her lotion . even what kind of shampoo she uses in the shower . stitch : [ snaps fingers ] let 's do this , huh ? ashley : ooh ! oh , no . stitch : s - sorry . ashley : that 's okay . i 'm gon na try this one . stitch : okay . yeah . ashley : that 's nice , but what do you think ? abby : hmm . let me try that . it 's all right . ashley : this one does nothing for me . stitch : here . abby : try that one . ashley : i love this . i would buy this . it has a lot more depth than the other ones . try that . stitch : let me see that . ashley : what do you think ? abby : oh , wow . that is fabulous . what do you think ? stitch : [ sniffs ] we have our winner . ashley : do you think we found it ? stitch : i think we have . abby : yay ! we are getting somewhere , people . okay , i am gon na go get the marketing team all pumped up . and , uh , yeah , you guys carry on . ashley : okay . i think we 're one step closer . stitch : i think so . ashley : i know . stitch : yeah . ashley : now we just have to study the extraction procedure to see how it affects mass production . stitch : so , those , uh , those roses , you know , they 're something . yeah , must have been quite a new year 's . ashley : how was your new year 's with victoria ? stitch : i mostly , you know , watched the boys . ashley : must have been a handful . stitch : no , it was pretty great , actually . it was good . ashley : i 'm glad . stitch : you know , we both had good nights . you know , different , but good . ashley : abby kind of read a little bit more into mine , actually . stitch : did she ? 'cause i got to say , maybe his personal life is different , but joe clark , he 's a snake who 'd happily try to ruin the best guy i know . joe : you know , i get it . this is an old - fashioned double team . i mean , you hit me with this plea for the community , and you hit me where it hurts . `` the man that you thought you knew . `` avery : it 's not meant to hurt , joe . it 's a reminder that things do n't have to be this way . look , i understand you 're in business . you want to make a profit . but maybe there 's another way . all we 're asking is that we can talk to the seller directly . joe : you 're killing me . dylan : so you 'll give us the name ? joe : look , if i get you in a room , that 's it . it 's on you . avery : of course . joe , thank you . dylan : thank you . joe : no one likes to walk away from this empty - handed . understand ? avery : we understand that . thank you again , joe . joe : meeting has n't happened yet . dylan : but you 'll give it a shot ? joe : i 'll do my best . take care . avery : did that just happen ? dylan : it was kind of obvious he did it to score points with you . avery : [ sighs ] [ cell phone rings ] avery : hold on . avery bailey clark . a follow - up on the chronicle ? yes , my client is available . 30 minutes , crimson lights ? yes , mr. mcavoy will be there . victoria : billy and i are working extremely hard on co - parenting katherine and johnny . victor : and i understand that , okay ? victoria : so , do n't stir up any bad feelings . victor : i wo n't . billy abbott is a sad waste of space . i will try to keep the thoughts to myself , okay ? victoria : thank you . victor : anything else ? victoria : as a matter of fact , yes . i would like for you to clear your schedule for katherine 's christening . victor : oh ! of course . victoria : and obviously billy 's gon na be there . so you 're gon na be on your best behavior , right ? victor : for the sake of the baby , i will try to be on my best behavior . how 's that ? chelsea : we 've been happy . we 've made it through some crazy stuff , but if i ca n't be honest with you , if i ca n't tell you why i do n't feel comfortable going to katie 's christening -- billy : and you did tell me . chelsea : i did , and you got all tense and edgy . billy : which is my problem , okay ? it 's not yours . it 's just i really wanted you there with me at the christening . chelsea : even with my screwed - up feelings ? billy : yeah . you think you can handle it ? chelsea : okay . fine . i 'll go . i can handle it . billy : you know what ? just forget about it . it 's okay . chelsea : oh , my god ! are you seriously pouting now ? billy : no , i 'm not pouting . chelsea : you suddenly do n't want me to go after all that ? billy : look , i love you and i want you with me . chelsea : i love you and i 'll go ! billy : thank you ! chelsea : you 're welcome !

sage : say yes , mr. bingham . sage : how did gabriel convince me to marry him ? adam : mm - hmm . sage : he was very persuasive . adam : so , archangel gabriel enlists you to help him get his grubby , little hands on all that bingham money . this guy seems like a real saint . sage : he was a better man than you could ever be . adam : so you keep saying that over and over and over again . but entering a sham marriage just to swindle some money away from your grandmother , that 's pretty devious , is n't it ? hmm ? i mean , unless , of course , that 's -- that 's not what really happened . tell you what . sage , why do n't we try something new here ? sage : like what ? adam : like you telling me the truth . sage : gabriel and i were best friends . we both loved constance . marriage made sense , especially as she got more frail . adam : so , this alleged wedding ... the date . sage : we went to a justice of the peace . he was funny . goofy . like we made a pact in a treehouse . best friends for life . and suddenly , we were husband and wife . when we were driving back home to tell constance the wonderful news , we saw something in the river , a figure , a man , burnt . and gabriel went in to save you . adam : on your wedding day . sage : not even four hours a wife before i became a widow . adam : you were n't really much of a wife , though , were you , if the only reason he married you was to get his grandmother 's money ? sage : he married me for love ! adam : okay . sage : of constance ! adam : okay . all right . great . and you , what 'd you do it for ? sage : i got exactly what i wanted -- money of my own ! adam : what did i tell you about trying to bluff me ? ! billy : just coffee . chelsea : two , please . becca : are you sure ? we have some excellent specials today . chelsea : no , thank you . billy : yeah , we 're good . thanks . chelsea : explain to me how giving you and victoria space , time to spend with your daughter , is somehow an issue for you . billy : because it 's not about me , vick , and the baby . it 's about adam . chelsea : my late husband , who existed . i ca n't erase him , billy . we have had this conversation . billy : i know , and i 'm trying to work on it , okay ? but i 've got to be honest here . chelsea : and i 'm being honest , which is what you asked me to be . so -- so how does this go ? how does this work out , huh ? down the line if i mention something that reminds me of adam , are you gon na get angry every single time ? because i tell you something , that means adam will always be between us -- because of you , not me . ashley : joe is an old friend . abby : oh , an old friend who took you out on the biggest date night of the year and just brought you roses . yeah , i have millions of old friends like that . ashley : okay . let 's get back to work . now we got to try out some fragrances , right ? stitch : yeah , let 's , uh , let 's get back to the lab . what do you say ? ashley : actually , you know what ? i think it might be too sterile there . it 's gon na affect the way the scent distributes . abby : do you want to go in the office ? we could lay them out in there ? ashley : great idea . stitch : okay . hey , uh , because of the competing fragrance , we should probably -- probably lose these roses . ashley : oh . okay . yeah , you 're right . abby : okay , so are we going for what a woman would choose or what men will react to ? ashley : that 's a good question . i think it 's both , actually . because a woman would probably buy it first and then she 'd buy it again if she got the reaction she wanted from the man . and a man would buy it for a woman as a gift , so ... stitch : i had n't thought about it , but it makes sense , you know . when you associate a certain scent with a woman , then , you know , it 's ... abby : oh , like her perfume or her lotion . even what kind of shampoo she uses in the shower . stitch : [ snaps fingers ] let 's do this , huh ? ashley : ooh ! oh , no . stitch : s - sorry . ashley : that 's okay . i 'm gon na try this one . stitch : okay . yeah . ashley : that 's nice , but what do you think ? abby : hmm . let me try that . it 's all right . ashley : this one does nothing for me . stitch : here . abby : try that one . ashley : i love this . i would buy this . it has a lot more depth than the other ones . try that . stitch : let me see that . ashley : what do you think ? abby : oh , wow . that is fabulous . what do you think ? stitch : [ sniffs ] we have our winner . ashley : do you think we found it ? stitch : i think we have . abby : yay ! we are getting somewhere , people . okay , i am gon na go get the marketing team all pumped up . and , uh , yeah , you guys carry on . ashley : okay . i think we 're one step closer . stitch : i think so . ashley : i know . stitch : yeah . ashley : now we just have to study the extraction procedure to see how it affects mass production . stitch : so , those , uh , those roses , you know , they 're something . yeah , must have been quite a new year 's . ashley : how was your new year 's with victoria ? stitch : i mostly , you know , watched the boys . ashley : must have been a handful . stitch : no , it was pretty great , actually . it was good . ashley : i 'm glad . stitch : you know , we both had good nights . you know , different , but good . ashley : abby kind of read a little bit more into mine , actually . stitch : did she ?

'cause you and i both know there 's no such thing as a low - key investigation , which is n't the point . the point is , you 're supposed to be at home recovering . just because you 're strong enough to get out of the hospital does n't mean you 're strong enough to go back to work . dante : hey , it 's a pretty -- lulu : it 's a stupid and dangerous thing . dante : okay , i - i thought -- i - i was gon na say it 's a pretty important case . lulu : you 're eligible for disability leave for 26 weeks , and you 're gon na go back to work after 24 hours . dante : yeah . i got to be hands - on with this . lulu : oh , right . right . because you 're the only one who can investigate your own shooting . dante : actually , it 's a murder investigation . dr. lisa niles .

[ scene_break ] lulu : i knew you were gon na do this . dante : do what ? lulu : i saw your ears perk up with officer padilla mentioned lisa 's autopsy . dante : look , she was killed from blunt - force trauma . someone hit her in the head . i felt it was necessary that i -- lulu : volunteer yourself even though you 're nowhere near ready to get back to work . dante : no . i 'm fine . and a lot of people we know are affected by this . they 're suspects , including my mother . lulu : olivia 's a suspect ? dante : yeah , she was on the boat . lulu : [ sighs ] dante , i feel like you would have jumped on any case that came your way because you love being a cop , and i know it 's not what you do , it 's who you are . i know the whole spiel . dante : oh , that 's lost a little bit of luster , i guess .

[ scene_break ] sonny : um , so you do n't think , uh , lulu 's been good for dante and vice versa ? luke : i think you 're hoping that a marriage to my daughter will save your son . sonny : they seem to love each other . luke : lulu 's not sure she wants to marry him . sonny : she told you that ? luke : no , i have n't seen her , but sometimes a father knows his child 's mind without hovering over her . [ sighs ] but she 'll probably jump off that cliff . she is my daughter , after all . and dante 's your son , which means he could end up in a shallow grave in pine barrens . sonny : i thought you did n't mess in the lives of your grown - up kids . luke : [ chuckles ] well , that 's why i 'm here , sonny . i thought that was your job . sonny : well , you know what ? your daughter 's gon na do what she 's gon na do 'cause , you know , you know your daughter . luke : she 's a spencer . sonny : right . luke : but you know , uh , people warned laura about me . maybe if she would have listened to them , she would have avoided a world of hurt . sonny : maybe , but maybe , you know , she would have missed out on some good times . i mean , knowing what you know now , would you still marry her ? luke : i do n't see any point in going there , sonny . it 's over . ca n't change the past . sonny : no , you ca n't . luke : that said , would you have married brenda ? sonny : you do what you do . luke : and you live with the consequences . sonny : just like dante and -- and lulu will . luke : [ sighs ] i , uh , heard things got kind of crazy for you after brenda . you still taking your meds ? sonny : [ sighs ] you really off yours ?

[ scene_break ] luke : how about i go ahead and assume you know what 's best for you , just like i know what 's best for me . sonny : i get it . you 're pissed at me . 'cause i - i wanted to do something for you that -- that -- that i thought was good for you . and i 've been pissed at you , uh , quite a bit . bottom line is , your kids missed you , and i know -- i do n't care what you say . i know that you -- you -- you give a damn . i know you too well . i 've seen too much . even the fact that you do n't want your daughter to marry dante proves to me that you care , even though you do n't want to admit it . luke : i have a grandson . aiden . sonny : yeah . yeah . congratulations . it 's a -- it 's a -- it 's a beautiful thing , you know ? your kids , your kids ' kids . it just goes on . we just hope they can take the good from us into the future . luke : and how about the bad ? sonny : well , that 's a risk you 're gon na have to take . i do n't know what kind of relationship you want , you know , with -- with your grandson or if you even want a relationship . but if you do n't have one , it 's not good . it 's gon na -- the kid 's gon na feel unwanted and unloved . and you know where that can lead . luke : this conversation has taken a decidedly mawkish turn , so if you 'll pardon me , i 'm gon na go . sonny : wait , wait , wait . hey , wait . wait a minute . if they do get married , right , i do n't want to have to hunt you down to give away the bride or , you know , pay for the wedding . luke : oh , i 'll pay . believe me . and speaking of weddings , if you ever decide to have another one with somebody , say , oh , i do n't know , kate , for example , i hope that you will remember how the others turned out . sometimes , sonny , the best thing we can do for people we love is stay the hell away from them . [ door closes ] [ scene_break ] johnny : you ca n't seriously tell me that you feel guilty for the way sonny 's life has turned out . kate : well , you know , you say you 've never had any success leaving your past behind , right ? johnny : yeah . kate : well , neither has sonny . the one time he tried , i was supposed to run away with him . i never showed up . johnny : well , we 'll always have bensonhurst . kate : [ chuckles ] johnny : come on . a broken - hearted sonny -- you mean to tell me that that 's what led him to a life of crime ? that 's a crock and you know it . he had no choice but to become the man who he is today . he 's a junkie . he 's addicted to power , like my father is . would you have been able to save sonny ? no . did you save yourself by walking away ? most likely . kate : yeah . and that has been my justification . johnny : so why put it all on the line now ? why get anywhere near the guy ? kate : because , johnny , in order to free yourself from the past , you have to face it . you have to accept responsibility , make amends , and then let it go . johnny : you make it sound like you 're the one who was sonny . kate : no , actually , i 'm referring to you . you hold on to your sister , and so you reel sonny forward , even though it 's clear to me that you 're blaming yourself for what happened to claudia . johnny , i do n't know what you did or what you did n't do . i do n't know what -- what part of this guilt is real or -- or if it 's -- if it 's irrational . but what i do know is that it 's a poison . i know how this works . the self - blame , the regret -- you can not outrun it . johnny : what are you trying to run from , kate ? kate : i 'm -- i 'm not . johnny : i 'll admit it . you know , when i saw you and i walked up to you a minute ago , i had an agenda . did i think anything i was gon na say would break you and sonny apart ? no . was i looking to maybe make some waves ? why not . kate : why not ? johnny : but what you said about claudia , it means something . and i owe you for her , so if ever you need a - a friend or a favor , you know where to find me .

jason : franco told you i 'd be coming here ? sam : did he mention why jason would be looking for him ? attendant : sorry , no . i assumed it was a personal issue between the artist and mr. morgan . [ scene_break ] spinelli : well , it 's from the proett gallery addressed to jason morgan , which is curious if you consider stone cold 's lack of interest in anything artistic . although some consider that the aesthetic of motorcycle design -- maxie : i can take it . spinelli : maximista 's eagerness indicates that she knows something about the contents . maxie : um ... [ scene_break ] coleman : so what are we celebrating ? lisa : the miracle of modern medicine . patrick : to modern medicine . you want to sit down ? lisa : yes . to a genius in scrubs . patrick : well , thank you very much . that 's very nice of you . lisa : oh , no , i meant me . patrick : aha . lisa : but you did n't do too bad yourself , either . patrick : you know , i keep forgetting you 're the only one that can make me look humble in comparison . but you got ta admit i did make you look good in that operating room . lisa : back at ya . and let 's not forget the lucky lady that drew the dynamic duo to put her back together . patrick : hear , hear . lisa : seriously , we 're good . patrick : we are . [ scene_break ] sonny : you 're right . it would solve a lot of my problems , sending johnny on a suicide mission . i do n't trust him . something about him i do n't like . and , you know , uh , getting rid of johnny would clear the path to olivia , if that 's what i choose to do . the real question is ... when did it become your business ? dominic : i 've never seen johnny be disloyal to you . sonny : it 's not just about loyalty , dominic . dominic : look , his sister ended up in a shallow grave somewhere and he still takes orders from you . he 's under constant suspicion because he 's the last zacchara standing , which means he 's always trying to prove myself . and then there 's this whole thing with how you feel about him and ms. falconeri . sonny : hey , you know what ? i feel bad for olivia because those two are going nowhere . dominic : well , i guess you 'll make sure of that . now you can cut a clear path to her . you 're single and you 're sending him off to a job that could probably kill him . sonny : somebody 's got ta handle tony bianco . dominic : why johnny ? sonny : why are you questioning me ? stop doing that ! dominic : okay , i do n't mean to be questioning you , but johnny has earned the trust of your men . okay ? you sending him out for something purely on personal gain and personal reasons is gon na completely undermine that trust -- sonny : okay , here 's the thing -- wait a minute ! here 's the thing . i 'm the boss . which means i send who i want . and now i wonder about you because i got -- you start questioning me , i start questioning your loyalty . you 're risking this for who ? johnny zacchara ? dominic : this is gon na hurt you more than anyone , sonny . and i think you 're better than this .

[ scene_break ] maxie : i feel sorry for jason , really . this is just not his thing . see , he decided to buy sam one of franco 's pieces , and the gallery is all over it . once they see a commission , they do n't let up until the check is signed . can you imagine ? jason 's actually gon na give sam one of those scary crime scene photos to hang over her fireplace of something . spinelli : that 's odd , 'cause fair samantha never commented on the enigmatic artist 's work during her security preparations at the gallery . i mean , and stone cold is generous , yes , sometimes to a fault , but he usually gives cash offerings and not tokens of esteem or affection . it 's just weird . maxie : well , jason does n't really know what a woman wants . i mean , he 's gon na spend thousands of dollars a painting that sam probably wo n't even hang in her bathroom , when he could just spend a fraction of the price on like a designer handbag that would carry sam right through spring . you should remember that , spinelli , when you 're trying to keep a woman happy . well , you know how to keep me happy , which is why i love you so much . spinelli : well , i 'm grateful for your faith in me . maxie : and if jason is determined to buy sam a piece of art , the least i can do is make sure he picks out something decent . 'cause when it comes to appreciating that special person in your life , i know right from wrong , that 's for sure . [ scene_break ] jason : what did franco tell you about me ? attendant : i 'm sorry , sir , i do n't know -- sam : oh , i bet you 're not used to dealing with artistic temperaments all the time . attendant : oh , you 're a fellow artist . well , the all black thing should have clued me in . sam : yeah , he and , um , franco were supposed to set up a time to meet and just have never really gotten around to it . attendant : well , that explains it . franco told me you 'd be by , but we did n't know when . he said you 'd want to pick up the piece he left for you . how fortunate . an original franco . a gift from the artist himself . sam : wow . it 's not every day an artist of franco 's caliber shows up to port charles . do you have any idea what the attraction was ? attendant : i would n't know . we never dealt with franco directly . we had no reason to . jason : you know what ? i need to get in touch with franco to tell him how i feel ... about his gift . [ scene_break ] dominic : you 're right . i was out of line . it was n't my place . sonny : you know what , dominic ? there are reasons for the things that i do , and i 'm careful when i go after what i want . obviously it 's working , 'cause i 'm still standing . dominic : johnny ca n't take out tony bianco on his own . sonny : no ? johnny is anthony zacchara 's son . he has the inside track . all i want him to do is get me proof that bianco was working with joey limbo . dominic : then you 'll take care of the rest ? sonny : if necessary . [ sighs ] listen . as far as the personal business , yeah , i have a history with olivia , and would i want to be with her ? yeah . but i 'm not stupid . having johnny killed is not gon na get me that . if i ever end up with olivia , it 's gon na be because ... she chose it . [ scene_break ] attendant : the only contact information we have for franco is his agent in london . although -- hmm -- it 's too late to call tonight . sam : all right , that 's okay . we 're gon na take the piece that franco wanted him to have , and jason will thank him later . attendant : i 'll go get your painting . sam : thank you . attendant : i 'll be right back . jason : what the hell is this franco up to ? sam : well , he obviously wanted to get your attention , and it 's working . jason : i think he 's trying to tell me he knows what i did . [ scene_break ] maxie : i love you , spinelli . you know that , right ? spinelli : of course . i live in attitude every day of my life . maxie : i need you to hear me , though . um , when i was confused about us getting married , i do n't want you to think it 's because i did n't love you enough or because i was waiting for something or someone else to come along , someone famous , let 's say , and hot -- not that i do n't think you 're hot . you 're sizzling . spinelli : we do combust on a fairly regular basis . maxie : i just think my priorities have been mixed up . i was too desperate to get franco to do that photo shoot . spinelli : well , your commitment to your career is legendary . maxie : but nothing matters to me more than you and me and our non - marriage . spinelli : i reciprocate wholeheartedly . but , alas , my own career calls now . my cyber skills are required by stone cold to track down the elusive franco . maxie : that 's what i 'm saying . i think our work is taking over our lives . spinelli : but if i am successful in locating franco , no doubt your charms will work on him and you will deliver on your promise to the glacial one -- maxie : i do n't care about kate . or franco . only you , spinelli . i 've made commitments to you , and i plan on keeping them . spinelli : uh - huh . ohh .

[ tracy and ethan laugh ] tracy : would you stop being so melodramatic ? i 'm his stepmother , and when did you become such a prude ? luke : it 's incest . ethan : you know , the more i think about it , the more i 'm warming up to this idea . luke : all right , stop it . both of you just stop . stop . tracy : it 's a perfect solution . so you 're on ? ethan : absolutely . why not ? tracy : fine . we will fly to vegas . quickie divorce . quickie marriage . home for cocktails at midnight . luke : all right , that is enough . you will marry ethan over my cold dead body . both : okay .

[ scene_break ] jason : pack your bags . sam and i are taking you to the island . michael : i do n't want to go to the island . i 'm not running away from all this . jason : okay , these are your dad 's wishes . and you know he wants to keep you safe . michael : no , he wants to keep me out of port charles so that i do n't confess to killing claudia . jason : and you ca n't understand that ? michael : well , maybe i do n't want to be the screw - up who needs his dad to stand trial for him . jason : and that 's not what sonny thinks about you , you know that . michael : have you seen dad around dante ? even when dante came here to question me , yeah , dad jumped all protective , but it 's like he sees dante as equal to him , you know . that 's not how he sees me . jason : and you think confessing to claudia 's murder 's gon na change all that . michael : well , at least i can prove that i 'll stand up and take responsibility . jason : okay . i understand how you feel right now . there is no competition between you and dante . okay ? we need to get out of the country before everything we 've done blows up in our face . [ scene_break ] dante : you know , that reaction there , you being so adamant about me leaving michael alone , that just tells me that michael knows way more than he 's saying . johnny : do n't put words in my mouth . dante : okay , john , then use your own words . johnny : i would n't be telling you anything you do n't already know , all right ? you 've been an eyewitness to all the hell that michael 's been through . so instead of zeroing in on him as a suspect , how about maybe approaching him as a big brother , a role model ? he needs that right now . protect him . nobody else has . dante : look , i 'm not having much fun doing this , okay . that kid going through , the confusion . putting himself as this big man in front of sonny . you know , i mean , that 's why i 'm trying to pursue this , okay . we got to get michael out from underneath the influence of sonny . away from the lies , away from the violence , away from the miscommunication . that 's it . sonny probably thinks i 'm pegging michael as a witness to claudia 's death , and he 's gon na try to get him out of the country as soon as he can .

[ cell phone rings ] maxie : hold that thought . [ ring ] maxie : oh . hi , kate . oh , i 'm really sorry , but i 'm not gon na be able to come back into the office and hold feddy 's hand tonight . something came up . it 's literally a matter of life and death . [ scene_break ] sonny : what you need to do is stay out of what does n't concern you . dante : i 'm concerned about michael . the pressure of not telling what happened with claudia is wrecking him . do n't you see that ? or is he just collateral damage in a bigger service to you ? sonny : why ca n't you just take this for an answer ? you 're getting exactly what you want . i 'm standing trial for claudia 's murder . and it 's up to your precious justice system to do what they want with me . but michael just needs to stay out of it . dante : michael 's the one who saw you kill claudia . it 's the only reason why you 'd be so obvious about shutting him up . sonny : he was n't there . okay ? you want me to tell you what happened ? i 'll tell you what happened when i killed claudia . i found the car she had stolen from the hotel abandoned on the side of the road . and then i saw tracks leading up to a cabin . when i got there , carly and claudia were there . carly had just had her baby . claudia was stealing the baby . now , carly could n't stop her because it was a difficult labor , stressful night . so i did what i had to do . did n't want to . i killed ... claudia . now , at that point , we were n't having , you know , a lot of problems . i mean , what any normal marriage has , right . we could have worked through it . [ sighs ] what i did not calculate was my own strength . i hit her . i hit her -- i [ glass clanks ] sonny : i hit her hard . that part was an accident . saving carly and the baby , that was justified . so help me god .

[ scene_break ] elizabeth : why am i uncomfortable ? i mean , aside from the obvious , having to dredge up a lot of stuff i do n't want to talk about ? i guess ... i guess when lucky found out that i was sleeping with nikolas i thought the bottom of my world had dropped out , but it seems there is farther to fall . i could lose 2 people who have been very vital in my life . i could lose them forever . and i know that 's what i deserve , but ... lainey : what do you think prompted your affair with nikolas ? elizabeth : it started out as a prank to make lucky and rebecca jealous . that was it . nikolas showed up at my work with flowers and he kissed me out of the blue . and he told me to play along . i saw lucky with rebecca , and i got what was going on , so i did . i just went along with it . and then the second time -- the second time we were at jake 's and i had been drinking -- we both had been drinking . but when we kissed that night , we both meant it . it should have ended there . it ... i know that . i know that it should have just stopped . i knew it was dangerous and it was stupid . but i just could n't help myself . it 's as if i 'm on the outside looking at my life happening to someone else . [ scene_break ] tracy : i want you to fuel the jet and file a flight plan to las vegas , please . immediately . eh . yes , as in now . do you want me to spell it for you ? luke : you ca n't be serious . tracy : oh , but i am . if i 'm gon na have a deadbeat husband , it might as well be a trophy with an adorable foreign accent . luke : shame on you , tracy . that 's my son you 're talking about . tracy : i know . and you can start throwing the gratitude toward me anytime you 'd like . ethan : in case either of you are interested , i 'm a little uncomfortable with all of this . luke : gratitude ? i should be grateful because you want to divorce me and marry my son ? tracy : i do n't want to marry your son . i 'm being magnanimous . luke : and you should be uncomfortable . for god sake , this is your mother . [ tracy and ethan laugh ] tracy : would you stop being so melodramatic ? i 'm his stepmother , and when did you become such a prude ? luke : it 's incest . ethan : you know , the more i think about it , the more i 'm warming up to this idea . luke : all right , stop it . both of you just stop . stop . tracy : it 's a perfect solution . so you 're on ? ethan : absolutely . why not ? tracy : fine . we will fly to vegas . quickie divorce . quickie marriage . home for cocktails at midnight . luke : all right , that is enough . you will marry ethan over my cold dead body . both : okay . [ scene_break ] sonny : if dante had 5 more minutes with michael , he would have known the whole story about what happened that night . jason : well , that 's not good . sonny : right . so i 'm thinking , you know , michael in town while i 'm on trial is asking for trouble . he 's too much like his mother -- impulsive , the whole thing . if he gets it in his head that he wants to blow the case wide open , no guard is gon na stop him . jason : maybe we should get him out of the country . sonny : exactly . what i want you to do is i want you and sam to take him to the island until the trial 's over . jason : okay , what about carly ? sonny : do n't worry about carly . i 'm gon na handle carly . i 'm having dinner with her tonight at the metro court . [ scene_break ] jax : reverting back to old patterns , i see , huh ? that did n't take very long , did it ? carly : what ? sonny 's about to go on trial for murder . anything could happen . we have sons , we have lots to discuss . i thought we could do it in civilized surroundings . that 's all . jax : oh , civilized ? well , this just looks a little bit more than civilized to me . i mean , this screams , you know , romance . carly : did you talk the chef about the crème brulè ? because that is sonny 's favorite . olivia : everything will be just exactly as you asked . carly : thank you . i love our staff . jax : yeah . if you expected me to be jealous , i 'm not . okay ? carly : this may be hard for you to grasp , but , you know , i have n't given you a second thought . should i have ? jax : well , i mean , how could you ? with your head filled with sonny 's favorite dessert . hmm ? just be sure it 's what you really want . carly : it is . jax : oh . okay , then you wo n't mind if i have a dinner companion tonight myself . carly : not at all . who is it ? olivia : oh , hell no . you two are n't dragging me into any 3-way train wreck with you . i got enough problems of my own . [ scene_break ] dante : you know , i thought this place was just a front , but you actually look like you know what you 're doing . johnny : well , believe it or not , my father knows his way around a car engine . it 's one of the few harmless things he taught me . dante : yeah , i do n't think sonny would be much help in that department . he probably would n't want to get oil on his suit . my mother , on the hand , she was pretty fierce under the hood of a car . but then , you probably already know that . johnny : probably good to leave your mother out of our topics of conversation , huh ? dante : yeah , that 's a good idea . johnny : i 'm still trying to wrap my head around this whole damn thing , sonny being your father and all . dante : yeah , one of life 's practical jokes . listen , do you have a minute ? i wondered if i could ask you some questions about the aftermath of claudia 's death . johnny : i 'm happy to help in anyway i can . dante : you know , when you were coming and going from sonny 's house or dealing with jason , did you hear anything that puts sonny at the cabin ? johnny : no . i wish i had . dante : how about michael ? did he ever tell you anything about claudia 's death ? johnny : a lot of people were s saying a lot of things , dante . you might want to be more specific . dante : okay . did michael imply that he had any knowledge about how claudia died ? johnny : why do n't you just leave michael alone ? [ scene_break ] jason : pack your bags . sam and i are taking you to the island . michael : i do n't want to go to the island . i 'm not running away from all this . jason : okay , these are your dad 's wishes . and you know he wants to keep you safe . michael : no , he wants to keep me out of port charles so that i do n't confess to killing claudia . jason : and you ca n't understand that ? michael : well , maybe i do n't want to be the screw - up who needs his dad to stand trial for him . jason : and that 's not what sonny thinks about you , you know that . michael : have you seen dad around dante ? even when dante came here to question me , yeah , dad jumped all protective , but it 's like he sees dante as equal to him , you know . that 's not how he sees me . jason : and you think confessing to claudia 's murder 's gon na change all that . michael : well , at least i can prove that i 'll stand up and take responsibility . jason : okay . i understand how you feel right now . there is no competition between you and dante . okay ? we need to get out of the country before everything we 've done blows up in our face . [ scene_break ] dante : you know , that reaction there , you being so adamant about me leaving michael alone , that just tells me that michael knows way more than he 's saying . johnny : do n't put words in my mouth . dante : okay , john , then use your own words . johnny : i would n't be telling you anything you do n't already know , all right ? you 've been an eyewitness to all the hell that michael 's been through . so instead of zeroing in on him as a suspect , how about maybe approaching him as a big brother , a role model ? he needs that right now . protect him . nobody else has . dante : look , i 'm not having much fun doing this , okay . that kid going through , the confusion . putting himself as this big man in front of sonny . you know , i mean , that 's why i 'm trying to pursue this , okay . we got to get michael out from underneath the influence of sonny . away from the lies , away from the violence , away from the miscommunication . that 's it . sonny probably thinks i 'm pegging michael as a witness to claudia 's death , and he 's gon na try to get him out of the country as soon as he can . [ scene_break ] maxie : that is the serial killer ? he looks so ordinary . spinelli : that 's what makes it easy for chef robaire to gain his victims ' confidence . i mean , one that looks so harmless can not possibly pose a fatal threat . but any good detective knows that looks can be deceiving . maxie : you can say that again . spinelli : it 's worse . not only does he possess physical characteristics that lull his potential victims in fateful complacency , he has a diabolical mind . he 's cunning and clever . so much so that no actual evidence exists of his heinous acts . maxie : well , our job is to change that , right ? spinelli : precisely . we have to be diligent . we have to devote time and effort . surveillance must be constant . we have to follow chef robaire 's treacherous path , tail he and his dates to restaurants , clubs , hotels . maximista 's fashion expertise could prove most useful . maxie : really ? how ? spinelli : well , yeah . you could glean information from the predatory gifts that he showers on his potential victims . i mean , i imagine you could tell a lot from the jewelry a woman prefers or the accessories she wears . maxie : true . spinelli : right . there may be hidden patterns lurking in such minutiae that we could discern particular type . maxie : right . because most serial killers are really just whacking the same woman over and over again . spinelli : very astute observation . so i can depend on my nonwife ? maxie : spinelli , i will do whatever i can to make sure this creep does not hurt another woman . spinelli : i knew i could count on you . maxie : only always . [ cell phone rings ] spinelli : it 's the bernificent one . excuse me . robaire : i do not usually cook breakfast , but for you i will make an exception . maxie : spinelli . spinelli : yes , bernificent one , i assure you that all instructions were followed to the letter and the funds have been delivered .

[ scene_break ] lainey : if your feelings for lucky were all good and your feelings for nikolas were all bad , then the affair would n't have happened . there was something that you need that you could only get from nikolas . can you articulate what that was ? lucky : i do n't mean to disrupt the flow , but if i could contribute something . lainey : sure . [ lucky sighs ] lucky : i 've tried to examine my part in all of this , and i think -- i think in some ways i kept elizabeth frozen in time . i never stopped seeing her through the eyes of that kid who fell in love with a brave girl that he helped through a terrible crisis . and i just did n't take into account how much time had passed , how different we were . and then nikolas came along . i guess he was some sort of escape . not consciously maybe . but on some level , elizabeth had to know that being with nikolas would free her from being with me forever . [ scene_break ] maxie : hey , excuse me . robaire : ahh . this is an unexpected delight . a beautiful woman appears as if from heaven to put , as you say , the moves on chef robaire . maxie : oh , no , no , not quite . i just wanted to tell you what a big fan i am . robaire : come . i 'll show you my pastry pantry . maxie : oh , no , let go of me . robaire : oh , yeah . you like to play hard to get . me , too . so , what other games do you like to play ? maxie : okay , no . back off , you serial killer .

[ sighs ] [ scene_break ] robin : so , what were you two arguing about ? steve : we disagreed about a consult . patrick expected a doctor to give an immediate opinion even though surgery is weeks out , and i told him he was being overly demanding . robin : yep . that sounds like my husband . he wants what he wants when he wants it . patrick : as my wife , are n't you supposed to have my back ? robin : and because patrick is the best neurosurgeon in the country , i think he deserves a little leeway . patrick : that 's better . thank you . steve : oh , well , i 'll let it go this time , but in the future , you might wan na think twice before rushing to judgment . robin : well , i defended you , but it does sound like you were out of line . patrick : yeah . i was being an ass .

edmund : no , mr . o'neill . i do n't blame you for wanting cassie . she 's a better person than you or i will ever be . but i think it 's important to point out that regardless of how hard you 've pushed yourself into her life , she remains with me . and i am never going to let her go . so might i politely suggest that you pack your bags , throw in the towel , and get the hell out of springfield ? r.j. : you 're still here . dinah : you bet i am . protestors : down with spaulding ! dinah : we imaginary friends , we have to stick together , right ? oh , i want to be here for the important things that happen in your life , you know that ?

joey : yeah ... until now . look , tammy , you and i are always going to be friends , but i 'm with lizzie now . tammy : so you two really are more than just friends ? joey : i guess we are . sandy : i appreciate the call , mr . duncan , but what makes your bank think sandy foster is n't really reva 's son jonathan randall ? banker : his signature does n't match the one we have on file . i 'm sure we could prove it if we had fingerprints . sandy : you make him sound like some kind of criminal . banker : he 's an imposter . i 'm concerned for your family 's safety . reva : hello ?

sandy : well , sandy was a close friend of jonathan 's , and the sad truth is , jonathan 's dead . we 'll ... i 'll call you at the end of the week about the trust fund . do n't contact me . i 'll contact you so we do n't upset my wife . thank you , mr . duncan . good - bye . joey : okay . i 'm guessing that was n't a birthday call . sandy : not even close . reva : happy birthday ! whoo - hoo ! whoa . remy : careful . reva : yeah ! sandy : wow , reva . that 's amazing . tammy : and it 's homemade , too . sandy : for real ?

cassie : you have to forget about gus . harley : i did forget about gus , until my father brought him back into my life , front and center . cassie : you know what ? i think you 're going to have to listen to your own heart about gus . and i think that 's what your dad was trying to tell you : that you should n't let all these angry feelings get in front of the feelings that are really important , harley . harley : how can i not be angry when all the bad stuff that has happened to me and my family has happened because of gus and his family ? i mean , am i just supposed to forget about that ? let bygones be bygones ? and i know that 's what my father is trying to say . why are you looking at me like that ? cassie : because your father is right . that 's exactly what you should do , if you want to be happy . jeffrey : all right . listen up , winslow , because i 'm only going to say this once , and i do n't say this very often , okay ? i ... i may have made a mistake , okay ? i allowed myself to get too attached to cassie , and i 'm sorry . it 's ... well , i 'll get over it . edmund : yes , you will . change of scenery 's going to do you some good . so i suggest you head down to d.c. , interrogate the person who 's been impersonating cassie , and wrap up this case once and for all . jeffrey : and cut the cord that connects me to cassie ? edmund : yes . jeffrey : ( sighs ) okay . you know what ? you 're right . i 'm going to catch the next place to d.c. , and i 'm going to personally see that that imposter and her accomplices are put away for life , and then we can all get on with ours , okay ? how does that sound for a plan ? what do you say ? edmund : and should you decide to stay permanently in d.c. , i will be more than happy to take all of your belongings and send them to your address . jeffrey : okay . i 'll keep that in mind . take care of cassie . edmund : good - bye , mr . o'neill . jeffrey : good - bye , eddie .

( sighs ) edmund : cassie , what 's wrong ? who was that ? cassie : that was the woman from the national hotel convention . their meeting started today , and i promised that i would there and i just totally forgot . edmund : well , that 's understandable , considering everything that 's been going on . cassie : yeah , but you know , the convention organizer is furious with me . edmund : did you tell her you had a family emergency ? cassie : no . no , i didn't . i was surprised and i was rattled . see , the thing is , i 'm the only one from this area that was able to show up , and i promised i 'd be there , and there 's an information booth and a dinner tonight , so you know , i really have to go , edmund . edmund : all right . all right , fine . we 'll go together . cassie : well , it 's out of town . the convention is out of town , so ... edmund : where ?

frank : suit yourself . but gus , right now , so far , you 're batting zero . harley : so was alex your family emergency , the reason that you had to rush off , so you could bring her here safely ? gus : no . harley : i tell you , she has pulled her selfish stunts in the past , but this tops the list . gus : your father does n't seem to think so . harley : he 's on medication . he does n't even know where he is . no one in their right mind would want a person anywhere near them who 'd done what she had done . that kind of betrayal ?

edmund : bar 's downstairs . water 's in the bathroom . dinah : water will work . edmund : fine , show yourself out . dinah : so this is it ? this is good - bye ? edmund : yes . whatever your game is , it 's over , right now . dinah : okay . i hear you . thank you for being so kind to me and giving me a place to stay . edmund : good - bye , d . dinah : good - bye , edmund . cassie : no , i 'm going to keep my bag with me , thank you . and here 's my seat . jeffrey : oh , no . cassie : well , i bet you thought you were going to have both seats for whole flight , huh ?

jeffrey : she did ? cassie : yes , she did . she wanted to rub my nose in the fact that she knows everything about me and i know nothing about her . so i 'm going to go and i 'm going to even the score . jeffrey : cassie , i ca n't let you that . this ... this woman , she 's a sociopath . cassie : yes , she is . what kind of nut job is going to use her one phone call to take potshots at me instead of calling her lawyer ?

nick : so , phyllis told you ? summer : yeah . mom and jack did . nick : how did that go ? summer : when i first saw jack 's face , i thought mom must be sick again . he just looked -- he looked so sad and crushed . i never would have imagined that he 'd tell me that the dna test results had been messed with , that you really are my dad . nick : i am . summer : how could sharon do something so awful to us ? i mean , she 's supposed to love you . nick : sharon said she did it because she loved me . [ lock disengages ] noah : [ sighs ] worse than i thought . i knew something was up when dad told me to come and take faith for the night . sharon : how is she ? noah : typical faith -- asking questions that i could n't answer . so , what do i tell my little sister ? sharon : what did nick say ? noah : he did n't want to talk about it . what happened , mom ? why did n't you show up for your own wedding ? sharon : my memory came back . noah : and ... ? sharon : i knew there was a reason that i repressed that memory . i - i knew that nick would n't understand . noah : mom , i 'm sure he understands . sharon : no , he does n't . he said it 's over . he moved out . noah : what is it that he could n't understand ? sharon : i made nick believe that he was n't summer 's father . michael : [ breathing shakily ] kevin : hey . you ca n't just drop a bomb like that and walk away . michael : it just did . i walked all the way here from the hospital . not even winded . kevin : so you 're gon na just pretend this is another day at the office ? michael : that 'll work . kevin : mike . mike , we need to talk about this . michael : there 's nothing to talk about . kevin : you have cancer . michael : that 's right . i have it , which makes it my business , no one else 's . kevin : no one ? not even your brother ? okay . if that 's how it 's gon na -- what about your wife ? michael : let it go . kevin : you have n't told lauren . lauren : phyllis ! phyllis : i missed you . lauren : oh ! oh ! you look so good . phyllis : then why are you getting all misty ? lauren : because i 'm so happy to see you . we thought that -- oh , never mind what we thought . oh ! you look so good . how are you feeling ? phyllis : i 'm feeling great , absolutely healed . lauren : yeah ? phyllis : i 'm perfectly healthy , yes , thank you . lauren : i 'm glad . and you 're here at work ? phyllis : well , not yet . i will be soon . i was actually looking for jack . kelly : it 's kind of early to be hanging out at the bar ... even if you 're just slamming back club sodas . jack ? what are you doing here ? jack : i needed to get out of the house . i needed some time alone . kelly : well , if you wanted to be alone , you could have gone to the park or gone for a drive . jack : you 're here . kelly : come here . victoria : hey , abby . are you ready for lunch ? abby : uh , sure . victoria : what 's the matter ? what has you so captivated ? abby : no , it 's just my uncle jack . he walked out with kelly , and it looked like he was headed towards the executioner . victoria : i guess he must be upset . abby : i wonder if there 's something wrong . victoria : i hope not . abby : wait , you 're rooting for the woman who slept with your husband and broke up your marriage ? victoria : i 'm no fan of kelly , but i care about jack , and with everything that he 's going through ... abby : wait , did something happen ? victoria : yeah , something happened . jack just found out that ... [ sighs ] that summer was never his daughter . lauren : actually , i 'm looking for jack , too . we were supposed to have a meeting . phyllis : oh , about your fashion line ? lauren : no , my new boutique . phyllis : hey , i heard about that . congratulations . lauren : thank you so much . you know , but i called him , and he 's not here . i do n't know what happened . phyllis : oh , well , at least i 'm not the only one he 's avoiding . lauren : do n't tell me that you and jack are n't together . phyllis : of course we are . no . [ chuckles ] why would you think jack and i are n't together ? lauren : the way you said that jack was avoiding you , i -- phyllis : and you jumped to the fact that we 're splitting up ? thank you very much . lauren : yeah , i 'm sorry . sorry . it 's just jack -- wow . this must really be hard , you know , transitioning after a year of not being here . that ca n't be easy . phyllis : no . well , it is n't , but the easy part is loving jack and knowing he loves me . lauren : that 's good . phyllis : yeah . i mean , we 're dealing with a lot , and when i say a lot , i mean a whole lot . there 's ... a lot i - i need to tell you , i 'm sure . lauren : okay , well , then do that . come on . sit down . tell me everything . phyllis : you first . lauren : oh . all right . well , let 's see . oh , michael started a new law practice with your sister . phyllis : yes . i heard . are they getting along ? lauren : [ laughs ] yes . absolutely . phyllis : good , good . lauren : and then fenmore 's had a hugely successful event which i could n't have put together without kelly . phyllis : kelly . lauren : yeah . the event planner for the athletic club . phyllis : yeah , yeah . it 's just -- it 's funny how her name keeps popping up in conversation . i was just talking to jack about her . lauren : oh , yeah ? what did he say ? phyllis : that kelly was the woman who broke up billy 's marriage . what else should i know ? kelly : how could sharon have manipulated a dna test ? jack : i do n't know the logistics . i just know the results . kelly : well , just to be sure , you should probably -- jack : i 'm gon na take another dna test . you bet . but ... it all adds up . kelly : i know how much you adore summer . and she feels the same way about you . jack : oh , god , summer has been so hurt by what sharon 's done . and phyllis and nick and -- kelly : and you . jack : entire families have been turned upside down . nick 's kids , my -- oh , god . i got to tell kyle . abby : poor uncle jack . i mean , we all knew that sharon had a screw loose , but changing a dna test ? that 's just cruel . victoria : i know . especially after jack managed to forgive her for past mistakes . abby : right ? i mean , even after their divorce , uncle jack was nothing but nice to sharon . i want to wring her neck . victoria : well , get in line . abby : our brother really dodged a bullet with this one . nick and sharon would be married right now if phyllis had n't come and blown this up . how 's he doing ? victoria : i do n't know . abby : you have n't talked to him ? victoria : i tried calling . he wo n't pick up . besides , what are we supposed to say ? abby : well , we could ask him to return some of those wedding gifts . victoria : abby ... abby : i mean , he did n't do it last year when his wedding plans went up in flames . i bet nick has a warehouse someplace full of unopened wedding gifts . victoria : [ chuckles ] abby , focus . abby : sorry . this is just a very confusing time for everyone . oh , and i bet dad is lapping this up . the proof is in -- victor newman was right . victoria : are you kidding me ? dad is thrilled . as far as he is concerned , everything is as it should be . nick is done with sharon and summer is back where she belongs -- with the newmans . summer : [ voice breaking ] how was changing the dna test supposed to prove that sharon loves you ? nick : sharon thought that if she was the only mother of my children , it would somehow bring us closer together . summer : wait , sharon thought that i was in the way ? nick : oh , no . this has nothing to do with you . summer : no , sharon -- sharon wanted to get rid of me , like i was n't even a person , like i was just some obstacle in the middle of you two . nick : who cares what sharon thought ? summer : i care that somebody that i like , somebody that i trusted tried to erase me from your life like i was nothing . why would she do that ? nick : okay , okay . listen to me . i have stopped trying to figure out what sharon was thinking . summer : but she -- nick : not because it 's not important . it 's just the more i try and make sense out of it , the angrier i get . summer : yeah . i 'm pretty angry with myself , too . nick : oh , sweetheart , you did nothing wrong . summer : i - i practically adopted sharon . i made her my stand - in mother at work , at my wedding . and she is the one responsible for what happened to mom . what can we do about that ? nick : i wish there was something i could do . summer : well , we ca n't press charges ? she should pay for what happened to my mom . nick : that fall was an accident . summer : and mom does not say that . nick : okay , well , it does n't matter , because it would be your mother 's word against sharon 's , and since sharon was off her meds at the time -- summer : she gets a free pass ? ! after she lied and tried to take me away from you ? ! why does n't she have to pay for that ? ! nick : look , i lied , too . summer : what do you mean ? nick : it 'd be real easy to just blame all this on sharon , but i 'm the one who started this in the first place . summer : dad , that was so long ago . what sharon did was -- nick : is it any worse than what i did ? i lied . i claimed you as my daughter without having any proof . summer : dad ... nick : if i 'd just -- i did n't tell anyone that the original paternity test was corrupted . if i had done that , if i made a different choice -- summer : no ! you did n't know . how -- how could you have known ? nick : well , if i 'd redone that test , then sharon never could have used that . and she never could have hurt you . sharon : i know what i did to nick was horrible . but i was not thinking clearly . otherwise , i would have realized all the pain i 'd be causing by switching those results . i would have , noah . say something . noah : why ? sharon : i guess when i was sick , my mind kept going to the times when i was happiest , and the happiest i ever was was with nick . i - i loved being his wife and mother to his children and ... i just wanted those happy times back . i wanted us to be a family again . noah : summer was -- was a part of that family . sharon : i know . i know that now -- now that i 'm stable . noah : god , mom , when you changed the test , it did n't just send summer 's life spiraling . it did that to dad , too . what about faith ? one minute , she has a sister and the next she 's hearing that summer belongs to some other family . god , how could you do that ? how could you tear our family apart ? sharon : i was sick , noah . i -- it was not me making those horrible decisions . it was my illness . [ voice breaking ] i 'm so sorry . i 'm so sorry . you have to believe me . you have to . i ca n't lose you , too . summer : this is what i do n't want . i do not want you to blame yourself at all . okay ? nick : i 'll try . summer : okay , and i do n't want you forgiving sharon . nick : that 's not gon na happen . i mean , i could never be with her again after what she 's done . she -- she ruined everything . summer : she shredded your heart . nick : [ sighs ] yeah , she did . but you know what ? something positive came out of this . summer : what 's that ? nick : you are my kid . summer : yeah , i 'm pretty happy about that . [ sniffles ] and i 'm a little confused . nick : about what ? jack ? summer : yeah . you know , forget it . i mean , talking about him 's probably a little weird . nick : no , come on . you know you can always talk to me about anything . summer : i do n't know . i mean , it 's just for a whole year , i - i thought that he was my dad , and now how am i supposed to just ... nick : hey . i do n't expect you to cut jack out of your life . summer : you do n't ? i mean , he was really good to me . nick : yeah , no . i - i 've been where he is . i lost you once , and it is the worst feeling ever . and if you love jack and you want to keep a relationship with him , then do it . summer : okay . i - i can do that . you know , i did learn to love him like a dad . nick : yeah , of course . jack 's a good man . he 's been like a father to me , so i understand . summer : well , i - i never , never stopped thinking of you as my dad . ever . i should have known . nick : well , now we know , right ? now we know , and that 's all that matters . and i am never , ever letting anyone take my supergirl away from me again . and there 's been something i 've been dying to say to you ... summer : what ? nick : ... for a long time now . and with everything that you went through with the pills and meeting austin and running off with him and getting married -- it was n't my place to say at the time , but now that i 'm your dad , i can say it . summer : well , what is it ? nick : you are so grounded . summer : [ laughs ] really ? michael : i have not told my wife . kevin : michael -- michael : i do n't want lauren knowing anything about this diagnosis . kevin : she 's your wife . you have to tell her . michael : i will , but not yet . kevin : she has a right to know . michael : and she 'll know . kevin : when ? michael : listen , kevin , all i know is that the biopsy indicated there were cancer cells in my prostate . i will have to take several more tests before they can determine stage or method of treatment . why should i worry lauren if i do n't know all the facts ? kevin : so that , for once , instead of you taking care of us , we can take care of you . michael : take care of me after i 've had a chance to process this . kevin : michael -- michael : you know , i need you to drop this , kevin . i want you to forget that you ever heard the word `` cancer . `` and if you could get out ... kevin : i understand that this is making you uncomfortable . michael : yet you 're still here . kevin : and i 'll be the first to admit i do n't know a lot about this , but i know ... michael : look ! i need you to drop this ! i 'm not talking about this ! kevin : you have to talk to somebody . this is too much for you to handle on your own . let it be me . lauren : i 'm sure you 'll , uh , cross paths with kelly eventually . phyllis : already have . lauren : really ? where ? phyllis : at the house . lauren : what did you think ? phyllis : honestly , a little surprised that jack was so friendly with the woman who had an affair with his brother . lauren : people make mistakes and are forgiven . phyllis : that was n't me judging the whole carmine thing too much . i 'm sorry . lauren : really ? 'cause i did n't get that from you at all . phyllis : oh , stop it . i 'm sorry . lauren : you 're bad , and i 've missed you so much ! phyllis : how are you and michael ? tell me . lauren : how much did he tell you when he was visiting you in the hospital ? phyllis : well , he said you were empty nesters now that fen 's at college . lauren : yeah . yeah , it was quite an adjustment . i mean , it feels like yesterday you and i were pregnant with fen and summer . i -- and you were painting my toenails for me -- remember ? phyllis : yes , yes . that was just , like , five minutes ago . lauren : honey , how are our babies old enough to be in college ? phyllis : yeah , or married ? lauren : yeah . phyllis : how about that ? lauren : yeah . what did you think of summer 's husband ? phyllis : well , he 's just as cute as a basket full of puppies . but , you know , the jury 's still out on him . lauren : that must have been quite a surprise . phyllis : that and nick and sharon being back together . i mean , i think everyone ended up with the wrong person while i was away . jack : no , she heard it from me . telling summer i was n't her father was not an easy task , let me tell you . yeah , you 're right . everything would be different . you and summer might be together . phyllis would n't have been on those stairs at all . she would have been with us this whole time . no , no , no , no . i 'm -- i 'm fine . do n't change your plans . you 're needed in new york . i got people here to look out for me . [ voice breaking ] just get here when you can , okay ? i 'm fine . i swear . i love you , too , son . abby : how do you think summer will take it ? she kind of lost it last year when phyllis got sick . victoria : [ sighs ] i do n't know . she 's our niece , so whatever happens , we have to help see her through it . abby : well , i think this whole situation is a perfect example of why you need to get that paternity test done fast . victoria : you 're turning this around on me ? you 're making about the baby ? abby : the longer you wait , the harder it will be on everyone , including my future niece or nephew . victoria : okay . i 'm gon na have the test after the baby 's born . i wo n't keep billy and ben waiting . abby : [ sighs ] well , i 'm sure stitch would n't mind waiting . victoria : what is that supposed to mean ? abby : because he 's into you , victoria , and he will do anything to stay in your orbit . the possibility that he 's this baby 's father keeps him around . and once the test is done , things could change . victoria : i just made a date with ben . abby : ah . so will it just be the two of you , or will his parole officer be joining you ? victoria : i do n't know , abby . he says he has something to tell me , something that 's important , that might change everything , apparently . abby : hmm . of course he does . he will say anything to stay in your life . victoria : it 's not like that . abby : it 's not ? really ? i mean , how many times has he told you there 's -- there 's something important that you just have to know ? a million times ? victoria : i - i do n't know . abby : yes . and has he ever actually told you this something big ? victoria : not yet . abby : not ever , victoria . stitch is just trying to keep you guessing so you do n't pull away from him completely . victoria : abby , it feels different this time . it feels definitive . abby : what could he possibly say that could change things ? victoria : i do n't know . okay ? i do n't know . i 'm just trying to give one of the baby 's possible fathers the benefit of the doubt . abby : you know , it 's not too late to reconcile with uncle billy . victoria : yes , it is ! would you stop saying that ? it is too late . it 's completely and irrevocably and absolutely too late . how is a couple supposed to reconcile when he 's in love with another woman , anyway ? kelly : oh . jack : i ca n't . kelly : oh , it 's okay . i locked the door . nobody can come in . jack : kelly ... kelly : if you 're uncomfortable , we can go to my room . jack : i ca n't turn to you just because i 'm in a dark place right now . kelly : of course you can , darling . that 's what people who love each other do . they turn to each other in times of need . jack : right now , i should be talking to phyllis . sharon : thank you . noah : yeah . sharon : thank you for hearing me out . i wish your father had stayed . noah : do you have any idea how hard this has been on him -- i mean , how guilty he 's felt for cheating jack out of being a father to summer ? sharon : of course i do . but i did n't consider that then . i could n't . i was n't thinking rationally . i was -- noah : i know . sharon : i was seeing cassie everywhere . noah : i know , mom . sharon : noah , i regretted changing those results more than you could possibly know . that 's why i repressed the memory . i was ashamed of my actions , and i was tortured by the secret i was keeping . noah : but it was n't a secret , was it ? sharon : what do you mean ? noah : phyllis knew the truth . she knew the truth , and you knew it . [ chuckles ] and that 's -- that 's why you ran out of the church . because you were afraid that she was going to expose your lie . god , mom , i do n't -- was it all a lie ? i mean , have you just been faking this whole memory - loss thing as a way to hang on to dad ? michael : i do n't want pity . kevin : i do n't pity you . michael : that 's exactly what i see in your eyes right now . and it 's exactly what i 'll see in lauren 's eyes when she hears . and people will say , `` how sad `` and what a bad break i 've gotten . and then , like you , they will ask to do whatever they can to lighten my burden . kevin : why is having a support system such an awful thing ? michael : because with every sorrowful glance and every encouraging word , i will be reminded of the black , cancerous cloud hanging over my life . kevin : so , how long are you gon na just pretend that everything is fine ? michael : i 'm not pretending . everything is fine . kevin : yeah , except for the whole cancer thing . michael : oh . i 'll manage it . kevin : michael , it was not hard for me to realize that something was wrong . lauren is gon na realize that something is wrong . why not just be honest with her ? michael : because i 'm scared . michael : for the first time in years , everything 's good . lauren and i are really together again . we 're making plans . i want us to live our lives without having every moment consumed by some disease . kevin : maybe it 's not gon na be that way . michael : i ca n't risk it . am i wrong to want my wife to treat me ... like the man she married ? kevin : do you honestly think that a cancer diagnosis is gon na change the way she feels about you , the way she treats you , or the way she loves you ? no way . michael : [ sighs ] lauren : is everything okay ? victoria : welcome back to the family . not that i ever stopped considering you my niece . summer : thank you , aunt vicki . i 'll see you later . victoria : yeah . summer : bye , dad . nick : bye , sweetheart . summer : bye . nick : [ smooches ] summer : bye . nick : vick . victoria : uh , hi . i know you 're probably not up for company right now , but i could n't let you screen my calls indefinitely . and do n't worry . i did n't drop by to say , `` i told you so . `` nick : so , what brings you by ? victoria : i just want to know if there 's anything i can do . nick : well , can you make it so the last year never happened ? victoria : no . would you settle for a hug instead ? nick : yeah . sharon : you think i was faking the memory loss ? noah : i do n't know . i do n't know -- i do n't know what to think , mom . i do n't know what to believe . so help me . what am i missing ? sharon : i was n't lying about repressing that memory . since the procedure , since my ect , a lot of my past was lost to me . noah : for how long ? sharon : fragments would come back . they did n't make sense . it was n't until i saw phyllis that the pieces started fitting together and they seemed real . noah : wait , wait . let 's just go back , okay ? before ect , when you were in therapy and you knew , why did n't you just tell dad then ? you let him keep on thinking that summer was jack 's daughter . sharon : i did n't know how to tell him . noah : you did n't want to tell him . sharon : i did n't think he would understand . noah : there it is . sharon : again , at that time , i was very sick . noah , you have no idea what it 's like to be so desperately alone . i do . that torture -- that is what kept me from telling nick the truth . noah : you ended up alone anyway . jack : phyllis was manipulated , too . kelly : really ? then why are n't you and phyllis comforting each other right now ? jack : yeah . kelly : i heard you say something when you were on the phone . you said that phyllis never would have had her accident if you all knew that summer was n't your daughter . i - i do n't understand . what does one thing have to do with the other ? jack : phyllis knew what sharon had done before the accident . that 's what they were doing on the stairwell . sharon was trying to stop phyllis from telling anyone else . kelly : and that 's why phyllis took sharon back to relive the scene of the crime ? jack : she wanted sharon to confess in front of me , in front of nick , and ... and victor beat her to it . and he just reveled in sharing the news . kelly : so all this time , phyllis knew about sharon 's lie and ... she did n't tell you ? jack : oh , she wanted sharon -- kelly : but she -- she waited to tell you ? jack , i mean , do n't you see ? even one day of letting you think that summer was your daughter when she was n't -- i mean , that 's ... too much . that 's unforgivable . phyllis : sales up . that 's good . that 's good for you , jack . that 's good . phyllis : the sooner you unpawn the ring , the sooner we can make that dream of yours a reality . jack : we will talk about our future once you 're out of the hospital . phyllis : we will have a future together , that is , if you still want to marry me . jack : i never stopped loving you , red . phyllis : i 'm home , jack . what are you waiting for ?

that 's just cruel . victoria : i know . especially after jack managed to forgive her for past mistakes . abby : right ? i mean , even after their divorce , uncle jack was nothing but nice to sharon . i want to wring her neck . victoria : well , get in line . abby : our brother really dodged a bullet with this one . nick and sharon would be married right now if phyllis had n't come and blown this up . how 's he doing ? victoria : i do n't know . abby : you have n't talked to him ? victoria : i tried calling . he wo n't pick up . besides , what are we supposed to say ? abby : well , we could ask him to return some of those wedding gifts . victoria : abby ... abby : i mean , he did n't do it last year when his wedding plans went up in flames . i bet nick has a warehouse someplace full of unopened wedding gifts . victoria : [ chuckles ] abby , focus . abby : sorry . this is just a very confusing time for everyone . oh , and i bet dad is lapping this up . the proof is in -- victor newman was right . victoria : are you kidding me ? dad is thrilled . as far as he is concerned , everything is as it should be . nick is done with sharon and summer is back where she belongs -- with the newmans . summer : [ voice breaking ] how was changing the dna test supposed to prove that sharon loves you ? nick : sharon thought that if she was the only mother of my children , it would somehow bring us closer together . summer : wait , sharon thought that i was in the way ? nick : oh , no . this has nothing to do with you . summer : no , sharon -- sharon wanted to get rid of me , like i was n't even a person , like i was just some obstacle in the middle of you two . nick : who cares what sharon thought ? summer : i care that somebody that i like , somebody that i trusted tried to erase me from your life like i was nothing . why would she do that ? nick : okay , okay . listen to me . i have stopped trying to figure out what sharon was thinking . summer : but she -- nick : not because it 's not important . it 's just the more i try and make sense out of it , the angrier i get . summer : yeah . i 'm pretty angry with myself , too . nick : oh , sweetheart , you did nothing wrong . summer : i - i practically adopted sharon . i made her my stand - in mother at work , at my wedding . and she is the one responsible for what happened to mom . what can we do about that ? nick : i wish there was something i could do . summer : well , we ca n't press charges ? she should pay for what happened to my mom . nick : that fall was an accident . summer : and mom does not say that . nick : okay , well , it does n't matter , because it would be your mother 's word against sharon 's , and since sharon was off her meds at the time -- summer : she gets a free pass ? ! after she lied and tried to take me away from you ? ! why does n't she have to pay for that ? ! nick : look , i lied , too . summer : what do you mean ? nick : it 'd be real easy to just blame all this on sharon , but i 'm the one who started this in the first place . summer : dad , that was so long ago . what sharon did was -- nick : is it any worse than what i did ? i lied . i claimed you as my daughter without having any proof . summer : dad ... nick : if i 'd just -- i did n't tell anyone that the original paternity test was corrupted . if i had done that , if i made a different choice -- summer : no ! you did n't know . how -- how could you have known ? nick : well , if i 'd redone that test , then sharon never could have used that . and she never could have hurt you . sharon : i know what i did to nick was horrible . but i was not thinking clearly . otherwise , i would have realized all the pain i 'd be causing by switching those results . i would have , noah . say something . noah : why ? sharon : i guess when i was sick , my mind kept going to the times when i was happiest , and the happiest i ever was was with nick . i - i loved being his wife and mother to his children and ... i just wanted those happy times back . i wanted us to be a family again . noah : summer was -- was a part of that family . sharon : i know . i know that now -- now that i 'm stable . noah : god , mom , when you changed the test , it did n't just send summer 's life spiraling . it did that to dad , too . what about faith ? one minute , she has a sister and the next she 's hearing that summer belongs to some other family . god , how could you do that ? how could you tear our family apart ? sharon : i was sick , noah . i -- it was not me making those horrible decisions . it was my illness . [ voice breaking ] i 'm so sorry . i 'm so sorry . you have to believe me . you have to . i ca n't lose you , too . summer : this is what i do n't want . i do not want you to blame yourself at all . okay ? nick : i 'll try . summer : okay , and i do n't want you forgiving sharon . nick : that 's not gon na happen . i mean , i could never be with her again after what she 's done . she -- she ruined everything . summer : she shredded your heart . nick : [ sighs ] yeah , she did . but you know what ? something positive came out of this . summer : what 's that ? nick : you are my kid . summer : yeah , i 'm pretty happy about that . [ sniffles ] and i 'm a little confused . nick : about what ? jack ? summer : yeah . you know , forget it . i mean , talking about him 's probably a little weird . nick : no , come on . you know you can always talk to me about anything . summer : i do n't know . i mean , it 's just for a whole year , i - i thought that he was my dad , and now how am i supposed to just ... nick : hey . i do n't expect you to cut jack out of your life . summer : you do n't ? i mean , he was really good to me . nick : yeah , no . i - i 've been where he is . i lost you once , and it is the worst feeling ever . and if you love jack and you want to keep a relationship with him , then do it . summer : okay . i - i can do that . you know , i did learn to love him like a dad . nick : yeah , of course . jack 's a good man . he 's been like a father to me , so i understand . summer : well , i - i never , never stopped thinking of you as my dad . ever . i should have known . nick : well , now we know , right ? now we know , and that 's all that matters . and i am never , ever letting anyone take my supergirl away from me again . and there 's been something i 've been dying to say to you ... summer : what ? nick : ... for a long time now . and with everything that you went through with the pills and meeting austin and running off with him and getting married -- it was n't my place to say at the time , but now that i 'm your dad , i can say it . summer : well , what is it ? nick : you are so grounded . summer : [ laughs ] really ? michael : i have not told my wife . kevin : michael -- michael : i do n't want lauren knowing anything about this diagnosis . kevin : she 's your wife . you have to tell her . michael : i will , but not yet . kevin : she has a right to know . michael : and she 'll know . kevin : when ? michael : listen , kevin , all i know is that the biopsy indicated there were cancer cells in my prostate . i will have to take several more tests before they can determine stage or method of treatment . why should i worry lauren if i do n't know all the facts ? kevin : so that , for once , instead of you taking care of us , we can take care of you . michael : take care of me after i 've had a chance to process this . kevin : michael -- michael : you know , i need you to drop this , kevin . i want you to forget that you ever heard the word `` cancer . `` and if you could get out ... kevin : i understand that this is making you uncomfortable . michael : yet you 're still here . kevin : and i 'll be the first to admit i do n't know a lot about this , but i know ... michael : look ! i need you to drop this ! i 'm not talking about this ! kevin : you have to talk to somebody . this is too much for you to handle on your own . let it be me . lauren : i 'm sure you 'll , uh , cross paths with kelly eventually . phyllis : already have . lauren : really ? where ? phyllis : at the house . lauren : what did you think ? phyllis : honestly , a little surprised that jack was so friendly with the woman who had an affair with his brother . lauren : people make mistakes and are forgiven . phyllis : that was n't me judging the whole carmine thing too much . i 'm sorry . lauren : really ? 'cause i did n't get that from you at all . phyllis : oh , stop it . i 'm sorry . lauren : you 're bad , and i 've missed you so much ! phyllis : how are you and michael ? tell me . lauren : how much did he tell you when he was visiting you in the hospital ? phyllis : well , he said you were empty nesters now that fen 's at college . lauren : yeah . yeah , it was quite an adjustment . i mean , it feels like yesterday you and i were pregnant with fen and summer . i -- and you were painting my toenails for me -- remember ? phyllis : yes , yes . that was just , like , five minutes ago . lauren : honey , how are our babies old enough to be in college ? phyllis : yeah , or married ? lauren : yeah . phyllis : how about that ? lauren : yeah . what did you think of summer 's husband ? phyllis : well , he 's just as cute as a basket full of puppies . but , you know , the jury 's still out on him . lauren : that must have been quite a surprise . phyllis : that and nick and sharon being back together . i mean , i think everyone ended up with the wrong person while i was away . jack : no , she heard it from me . telling summer i was n't her father was not an easy task , let me tell you . yeah , you 're right . everything would be different . you and summer might be together . phyllis would n't have been on those stairs at all . she would have been with us this whole time . no , no , no , no . i 'm -- i 'm fine . do n't change your plans . you 're needed in new york . i got people here to look out for me .

[ chuckles ] and that 's -- that 's why you ran out of the church . because you were afraid that she was going to expose your lie . god , mom , i do n't -- was it all a lie ? i mean , have you just been faking this whole memory - loss thing as a way to hang on to dad ? michael : i do n't want pity . kevin : i do n't pity you . michael : that 's exactly what i see in your eyes right now . and it 's exactly what i 'll see in lauren 's eyes when she hears . and people will say , `` how sad `` and what a bad break i 've gotten . and then , like you , they will ask to do whatever they can to lighten my burden . kevin : why is having a support system such an awful thing ? michael : because with every sorrowful glance and every encouraging word , i will be reminded of the black , cancerous cloud hanging over my life . kevin : so , how long are you gon na just pretend that everything is fine ? michael : i 'm not pretending . everything is fine . kevin : yeah , except for the whole cancer thing . michael : oh . i 'll manage it . kevin : michael , it was not hard for me to realize that something was wrong . lauren is gon na realize that something is wrong . why not just be honest with her ? michael : because i 'm scared . michael : for the first time in years , everything 's good . lauren and i are really together again . we 're making plans . i want us to live our lives without having every moment consumed by some disease . kevin : maybe it 's not gon na be that way . michael : i ca n't risk it . am i wrong to want my wife to treat me ... like the man she married ? kevin : do you honestly think that a cancer diagnosis is gon na change the way she feels about you , the way she treats you , or the way she loves you ? no way . michael : [ sighs ] lauren : is everything okay ? victoria : welcome back to the family . not that i ever stopped considering you my niece . summer : thank you , aunt vicki . i 'll see you later . victoria : yeah . summer : bye , dad . nick : bye , sweetheart . summer : bye . nick : [ smooches ] summer : bye . nick : vick . victoria : uh , hi . i know you 're probably not up for company right now , but i could n't let you screen my calls indefinitely . and do n't worry . i did n't drop by to say , `` i told you so . `` nick : so , what brings you by ? victoria : i just want to know if there 's anything i can do . nick : well , can you make it so the last year never happened ? victoria : no . would you settle for a hug instead ? nick : yeah . sharon : you think i was faking the memory loss ? noah : i do n't know . i do n't know -- i do n't know what to think , mom . i do n't know what to believe . so help me . what am i missing ? sharon : i was n't lying about repressing that memory . since the procedure , since my ect , a lot of my past was lost to me . noah : for how long ? sharon : fragments would come back . they did n't make sense . it was n't until i saw phyllis that the pieces started fitting together and they seemed real . noah : wait , wait . let 's just go back , okay ? before ect , when you were in therapy and you knew , why did n't you just tell dad then ? you let him keep on thinking that summer was jack 's daughter . sharon : i did n't know how to tell him . noah : you did n't want to tell him . sharon : i did n't think he would understand . noah : there it is . sharon : again , at that time , i was very sick . noah , you have no idea what it 's like to be so desperately alone . i do . that torture -- that is what kept me from telling nick the truth . noah : you ended up alone anyway . jack : phyllis was manipulated , too . kelly : really ?

you drew the parallel . it 's the same for me with brooke . once that fire caught , there was no putting it out . neither one of us wanted to hurt katie . you do n't know her very well . but she is a remarkable woman . she made me a better man . she might not agree with that right now , but it 's the truth . her goodness , her strength , her loyalty , the way she mothers my son . i 'll always care about her . i 'll always love her . but it does n't change the way i feel about brooke . donna : we 're not in the same place , but this is how we get there . by talking it through , by working it out , and remembering who we are . that the men in our lives , they 'll come and go , but we 'll always , always be sisters . brooke : [ sighs ] something i forgot . big time . donna : you made a mistake . and you 're trying to fix it . she is , katie . katie : [ sighs ] i know that . donna : you know , i think i owe you an apology , too , for my part in betraying you . katie : you were put in a terrible position . brooke : a position that i put you in . donna : no . no , you know , i - i could have gone to katie . i could have warned her . and if i had , who knows ? who knows ? maybe we would n't be here right now with this -- this terrible distance between us . maybe you and bill would n't have happened at all . katie : no , no , do n't put that on yourself . if brooke and bill wanted to be together , they would have found a way . i 'm sorry . i should n't have said that . brooke : no , no . it 's okay . we need to be completely honest with each other . donna was right . and you , especially . you 're the injured party . katie : well , bill lied to both of us , so i guess that 's one thing we have in common . brooke : i 'm sorry . katie : you do n't have to keep apologizing , brooke . i know you 're sorry . and i wish that i could just easily forgive you . i wish that i could be the person that i used to be , who just blindly trusted everyone she loved , so much so that i let bill weasel his way back into my life so he could betray me again . but that person has n't really worked out for me . and i do n't really know who i 'm left with . you 're my sister . and i love you . brooke : [ sighs ] katie : i love you . brooke : [ sniffles ] katie : but i need ... i need time . because just as you need time to earn my trust , i need time to ... to learn how to give it . brooke : yeah , i - i 'll give you time . i mean , i 'll be there waiting for as much time as you need . katie : i appreciate you coming here , what you 're trying to do . brooke : but i broke your trust . just know , katie . i 'm never gon na stop trying to get it back . katie : okay . fair enough . donna : you know , i - i feel like we made some progress here . [ knock on door ] hope : knock , knock . oh ! do n't move . i want to absorb this . all of the logan sisters in the same room . this is beautiful . [ laughter ] donna : it 's something that i 'm hoping will happen more often . hope : well , i am about to give you a reason . uh , so , thanksgiving is very soon . we 're going to have the usual dinner at eric 's , but this year , it will have a little twist . it is also going to be the engagement party for rick and caroline . donna : [ gasps ] brooke : [ gasps ] wow ! honey , that 's so sweet ! hope : yeah ! [ cell phone chimes ] brooke : invitations already ? that was fast ! wait . you 're not inviting bill , are you ? you ca n't possibly expect katie and me to celebrate thanksgiving dinner with bill . wyatt : how damaged are things with brooke ? i mean , can you fix it ? bill : i 'll fix it . i have to fix it . i 'm no good without her . wyatt : that 's a strong statement coming from a guy like you . bill : well , it 's the truth . there 's no sense in denying it . i need her in my life . i had her , and i blew it . i did n't take her bond with katie into account . i ... i did n't give it enough consideration . wyatt : what are you gon na do ? bill : whatever i have to to get her back . aly : what ? thorne : [ laughs ] nothing . i 'm just still getting used to seeing you around here all the time . eric : fits right in , does n't she ? no second thoughts about this change in direction ? aly : none . this feels right , you know , working in the family business and , uh , moving into the family home , spending more time with you guys . this party 's gon na be so great . i wish i could see the look on caroline 's face when she realizes that we 're celebrating her and rick . eric : it 's long overdue . thorne : yes , they did get lost in the shuffle , did n't they ? aly : we are about to make up for that . i have a feeling that caroline 's gon na be very happy . [ cell phone chimes ] caroline : oh , it 's from hope . rick : you better check it . something might be going on . caroline : [ sighs ] no . it 's about thanksgiving . oh , my goodness . rick : what ? caroline : hope is making thanksgiving dinner into a party celebrating our engagement . [ chuckles ] rick : looks like you 're about to be the bride . caroline : i ca n't believe she 's doing this . i mean , we have n't really made a big deal out of our wedding . rick : it is . it is . it is a big deal . look , i think about it all the time , what it would feel like when you 're my wife . i want that , caroline . i want to spend every day celebrating this -- this fascinating woman who 's just whirlwinded her way into my life . hope : i knew inviting bill would be controversial . and trust me , i really did not want to . but ... this is n't just about the forresters , because caroline is a spencer . her moms are n't in town . bill is the only family she has out here . i feel like we have to . brooke : it 's a nice gesture , honey , but i ca n't be in the same room as him . hope : do n't miss your son 's engagement party . look at it this way . we all have to face bill eventually , so you might as well just get it over with . then you can have a thanksgiving that you 'll never forget . donna : [ scoffs ] hope : katie , you have n't said anything . katie : i need to talk to brooke alone . donna : okay . [ door closes ] katie : you said that being sisters is more important than being with bill . brooke : i meant it . katie : you stood up for me when you switched those papers out with those leaves from aspen . you got me back my job , full custody of will . and i 'm grateful for that . do n't lose that resolve . do n't let him back into your life after what he 's done to us . promise me , brooke . promise me that you will never be involved with bill again . brooke : i promise . katie : [ sniffles ] i need to pick up will from daycare . brooke : okay , uh , what about thanksgiving ? katie : [ sighs ] i 'll think about it . [ door opens ] [ door closes ] brooke : i was so afraid i 'd lost you . bill : you 'll never lose me . i want you to remember that always . i love you , brooke . brooke : i love you . wyatt : dad ? you okay ? bill : i had a vision . running my company , living my life with brooke and will . it 's my future . and i will make it happen . wyatt : how ? bill : i have n't figured that out yet . but remember i said it . brooke will come back to me . she will be mine .Summarize.[/INST]the forrester 's have a little meeting with eric , thorne , rick , caroline , hope , aly and pam . at the end , hope comes up with the idea that she wants to throw rick and caroline an engagement party on thanksgiving night since all the family will already be there . she wants them to all come together as one united family despite their differences . eric agrees , even bill will be invited since he is caroline 's uncle . katie tells adele to tell security not to let bill or alison back into the building . brooke and donna drop in on katie at the office . brooke apologizes again for being involved with bill . she needs her sister back in her life . as they both shed tears they agree that it will take time but they are sisters . katie says she will accept her part in this fiasco ; brooke does n't have to keep apologizing for it . men will come and go in their lives but sisters are forever . katie says she loves brooke , she really does . she wishes she could blindly trust her again the way she used to . she did it with bill . she let him weasel his way back into her life so he could betray her again . just as it will take time for brooke to earn katie 's trust , she needs time to learn how to give it . brooke tells her that she will be there waiting so take all the time she needs . hope drops in and wants to soak up that feeling of the three broken sisters all back together . then she gives them her invite to a combined thanksgiving and party for caroline and rick . all are happy about the occasion until brooke asks if bill is going be there . surely hope does n't expect her and katie to be there if bill is . hope says yes he will be there and they are going to see bill occasionally so they might as well get it over with . katie says she needs to talk to brooke alone . katie starts by saying that brooke said being sisters was more important than being with bill . brooke says yes she meant that . katie tells her that brooke stood up for her . she helped her when she switched the papers with the leaves from aspen . she got her back her job and full custody of will and she is grateful for that . she asks brooke not to lose that resolve . do not let bill back into her life after all he has done to them . she asks brooke to promise her that she will never be involved with bill again . brooke does . katie does n't give her the answer now about thanksgiving but says she will think about it . caroline and rick are relaxing and enjoying some fresh air outside when she gets hope 's e - mail about thanksgiving and a party for them . she 's touched since they have n't made a big deal abut the wedding yet . rick says it is a big deal and he wants to spend every day celebrating this fabulous woman who has walked into his life .</s> | 6,016 |

[ scene_break ] taylor : i asked you a question . are you involved with brooke ? eric : you 're serious ? where 's this coming from ? taylor : i was planning the party , and i was talking to gustav . eric : yes . i know . taylor : and we were brainstorming ideas . i suggested perhaps using a tent , and he thought that was a great idea because he just had a client that had done that very thing -- brooke logan , in her backyard . it was a very intimate setting -- something she set up that was very romantic , and it had a bed . eric : taylor , look -- taylor : and he was telling me that he had been hired specifically to re - create brooke 's wedding night in palm springs . now , the only person i know of that ever married brooke in palm springs was you . did she lure you to the tent ? are you who brooke has been seeing ? eric : nothing happened between us . taylor : but you were there . eric : yes . taylor : and you did n't tell me . eric : i did n't mention it because there was nothing to tell . taylor : did brooke come on to you ? eric : i told her i was committed to you . taylor : wow . eric : taylor , it 's not what you think . uh , she was n't really interested in me that way . taylor : what are you talking about ? why would she go through all of that trouble to plan palm springs and a tent and everything ? and you convinced me that i was wrong -- that she is n't involved with bill . are you covering for her ? what is it ? i - i do n't understand , eric . now you 're telling me that she made a play for you . we ca n't have secrets between us . what is it ? ! is brooke hiding something ? | katie tells brooke and donna to finish their conversation something they did not want katie to know about ( yeah , like they are gon na tell you now ) . they stammer and say they ca n't even remember what it was . she guesses it was about the party and trying to get out of it . they finally admit , yes that was what it was . katie rushes brooke out the door and tells her to go back to work and everything will be all right . in his office , taylor kisses eric and he comments that she seems to be in a good mood despite steffy leaving suddenly . taylor says she trusts steffy 's instincts and if she felt she needed to get away to be with her dad then she is okay with that . she talked with her earlier and taylor is going to support her . she too is moving on with her life and she is going to enjoy every moment of it . she surprises him by saying she is thinking of throwing a party for joy , for life , for love , for all good things and she feels so positive about it that she is going to invite brooke . she knows how close he is with brooke and she wants to be civil and this seems like the right thing to do . katie tells donna that she should have known that brooke would end up running her own party . donna makes it clear that she does n't think brooke even wants a party . katie says then she better warn her that she has invited eric .. and of course taylor . donna chimes in that you never know what might happen when you put taylor and brooke in the same room together . brooke rushes back to the office and barges into eric 's office to find taylor alone . taylor comments that brooke seems tired . perhaps this new man is wearing her out . brooke says she really is n't comfortable talking to her about that despite taylor saying they are girlfriends and can talk about anything . brooke says it is over , so no big deal . taylor is surprised since she got the impression that brooke was very excited about this very special person . she also apologizes for being wrong this time about accusing brooke of inappropriate behavior with bill . she wants brooke to accept her sincere apology . meeting with the party planner , taylor turns down his suggestions and wants it to be more elegant with silks and flowing cabanas . he gushes yes he can do that just like he did one recently for brooke logan in her back yard . he says a little too much though when she probes further and finds out he duplicated brooke 's palm springs wedding . taylor knows that was with eric . pam offers eric a big plate of lemon bars and asks about him and taylor wink , wink . he assures her that all is well there . | <s>[INST] katie : i can never know what ? what were you two talking about ? go ahead . finish what you were gon na say . brooke : [ scoffs ] [ scene_break ] taylor : mwah . eric : well , look at you . wow . you 're in a good mood , are n't you ? taylor : what 's not to be happy about ? eric : well , i do n't know . uh , steffy leaving was a little difficult for you . taylor : well , i trust her instincts . if she feels like she needs to go spend a little time with her father , then i 'm good with that . i support her . eric : so , you had a good conversation with her earlier . taylor : yes . i did . i did . she sounds good . um ...

[ scene_break ] katie : i should have known brooke would try to take over her own birthday party . i mean , that is what you were talking about , right ? donna : i 'm just not sure brooke is in the mood for surprises right now . katie : oh . in that case , maybe i should tell her . donna : about what ? katie : i invited eric to the party . donna : so ? katie : plus one . donna : oh . so , basically , you invited taylor to brooke 's birthday party . katie : [ sighs ] yeah . do you think that was a bad idea ? donna : well , we 'll see . you never really know what 's gon na happen when you put brooke and taylor in the same room together . [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] brooke : taylor . i did n't expect to see you here . taylor : uh , i was just here with eric , but he had to step out . brooke : oh . well , he might be a while . do you want me to have him call you ? taylor : no . i 'm fine waiting . i have a meeting in a little bit anyway . brooke : great . taylor : so , how are you doing ? how 's katie ? brooke : oh , she 's fine . taylor : good . good . i 'm glad to hear it . brooke : is she not your patient anymore ? is that why you 're asking ? taylor : well , katie can always call me . i 'm available if she ever wants to meet with me . brooke : [ sighs ] taylor : you know , you may not believe this , but my goal has always been to help your sister . brooke : [ chuckles ] wow . i 'm too tired to even argue that one . taylor : tired ? why are you so worn out these days ? is it the new man in your life ? [ scene_break ] katie : [ sighs ] do you think brooke is gon na be upset that taylor 's gon na be at the party ? donna : i do n't think so . i mean , she 'll understand . unfortunately , eric and taylor are living together , so , you know , it 's kind of a given that if you invite him , he 's gon na bring her . katie : i just do n't want any drama . donna : [ chuckling ] well , there is no guarantee of that -- not with this crowd . katie : well , this party is to celebrate brooke 's birthday , but it 's also to celebrate us as sisters . i mean , we 've been through so much together . and dad 's in texas , and we lost storm and mom . we 're all we have , and i 'm so grateful for that . donna : so am i . katie : and we 're closer than we 've ever been before , right ? i want everybody to see that , to witness it -- that there 's peace in our extended family . donna : i think we all want that . katie : and stephanie 's dying wish was that we all get along . we should try to honor that . donna : so do i . but i bet she was n't banking on eric and taylor shacking up together . katie : well , she might be okay with that . you , on the other hand , probably not . donna : [ chuckles ] katie : and definitely not eric and brooke .

[ scene_break ] taylor : what is a foam party ? gustav : really ? oh , no . we bring in a huge foam machine , and we cover the dance floor in suds and bubbles , and everyone goes wild dancing and diving around . it 's a total freaking blast . it 's very liberating . you 'd love it . taylor : uh ... well , i was thinking of maybe something just , uh , kind of more elegant . gustav : okay , fine . we 'll keep it classy . taylor : i kind of had in mind , like , you know those big white flowing cabanas ? gustav : tents . taylor : yes . gustav : i can easily do a tent . i just did one for brooke logan in her backyard . taylor : brooke logan ? gustav : mm - hmm . taylor : she just had a party ? was it a -- a big event ? gustav : [ chuckles ] it was n't a party . it was very intimate -- just brooke and some guy . taylor : [ sighs ] really ? gustav : mm - hmm . taylor : was it , uh , bill spencer ? gustav : [ scoffing ] no . not that sexy beast . mm . i 'm not sure who it was . but the tent was gorgeous . it was very pricy , uh , southwest theme , very romantic -- silks , pillows . they even had a bed inside . taylor : [ laughs ] brooke , of course . gustav : well , i was given specific instructions to duplicate her wedding night in palm springs years ago . must have been one of her marriages to ridge . taylor : palm springs ? gustav : mm - hmm . taylor : uh ... i 'm pretty sure that 's when she got married to eric . really ? she wanted you to duplicate her wedding night in palm springs ? gustav : uh , i do n't know .

[ scene_break ] eric : good . you 're still here . taylor : i just finished my meeting with gustav . eric : how did that go ? taylor : it was interesting . eric : well , did he come up with any good ideas ? taylor : uh , he , uh , had a lot to say . eric : well , no matter what , i 'm sure it 's gon na be a wonderful party . i ca n't wait to see it . taylor : can i ask you something ? eric : sure . what ? taylor : brooke was here earlier . um , you know , there 's been this new man in her life that 's not bill . eric : yes , yes , that 's right . taylor : are you that man ? eric : what ? taylor : is there something going on between you and brooke ? [ scene_break ] [ birds chirping ] donna : well , i spoke to katie some more about the party she 's throwing . brooke : [ sighs ] i did n't know how to react when she told me about it . it 's really sweet of her . i just do n't deserve it . donna : she wants to do something special for you -- for all of us logan girls . brooke : she wants to celebrate our loyalty and our devotion . how ironic is that ? she 's been so good to me , and look at what i 've done to her . donna : do n't . there is no point . you ca n't go back and change anything . brooke : i know , donna . i know , and we 've got to stop talking about this 'cause katie almost overheard us last time . if she finds out that i slept with bill and i got pregnant with his baby , and then i lost it -- donna : she ca n't . she wo n't . brooke : she does n't deserve that . it would kill her . our little sister -- she can never know . [ scene_break ] caterer : i love this picture of you and mr. spencer . katie : oh , thank you . i had no idea what i was getting myself into on this day . [ chuckles ] oh , look . how cute . it is brooke and my husband . hmm . [ scene_break ] taylor : i asked you a question . are you involved with brooke ? eric : you 're serious ? where 's this coming from ? taylor : i was planning the party , and i was talking to gustav . eric : yes . i know . taylor : and we were brainstorming ideas . i suggested perhaps using a tent , and he thought that was a great idea because he just had a client that had done that very thing -- brooke logan , in her backyard . it was a very intimate setting -- something she set up that was very romantic , and it had a bed . eric : taylor , look -- taylor : and he was telling me that he had been hired specifically to re - create brooke 's wedding night in palm springs . now , the only person i know of that ever married brooke in palm springs was you . did she lure you to the tent ? are you who brooke has been seeing ? eric : nothing happened between us . taylor : but you were there . eric : yes . taylor : and you did n't tell me . eric : i did n't mention it because there was nothing to tell . taylor : did brooke come on to you ? eric : i told her i was committed to you . taylor : wow . eric : taylor , it 's not what you think . uh , she was n't really interested in me that way . taylor : what are you talking about ? why would she go through all of that trouble to plan palm springs and a tent and everything ? and you convinced me that i was wrong -- that she is n't involved with bill . are you covering for her ? what is it ? i - i do n't understand , eric . now you 're telling me that she made a play for you . we ca n't have secrets between us . what is it ? ! is brooke hiding something ?Summarize.[/INST]katie tells brooke and donna to finish their conversation something they did not want katie to know about ( yeah , like they are gon na tell you now ) . they stammer and say they ca n't even remember what it was . she guesses it was about the party and trying to get out of it . they finally admit , yes that was what it was . katie rushes brooke out the door and tells her to go back to work and everything will be all right . in his office , taylor kisses eric and he comments that she seems to be in a good mood despite steffy leaving suddenly . taylor says she trusts steffy 's instincts and if she felt she needed to get away to be with her dad then she is okay with that . she talked with her earlier and taylor is going to support her . she too is moving on with her life and she is going to enjoy every moment of it . she surprises him by saying she is thinking of throwing a party for joy , for life , for love , for all good things and she feels so positive about it that she is going to invite brooke . she knows how close he is with brooke and she wants to be civil and this seems like the right thing to do . katie tells donna that she should have known that brooke would end up running her own party . donna makes it clear that she does n't think brooke even wants a party . katie says then she better warn her that she has invited eric .. and of course taylor . donna chimes in that you never know what might happen when you put taylor and brooke in the same room together . brooke rushes back to the office and barges into eric 's office to find taylor alone . taylor comments that brooke seems tired . perhaps this new man is wearing her out . brooke says she really is n't comfortable talking to her about that despite taylor saying they are girlfriends and can talk about anything . brooke says it is over , so no big deal . taylor is surprised since she got the impression that brooke was very excited about this very special person . she also apologizes for being wrong this time about accusing brooke of inappropriate behavior with bill . she wants brooke to accept her sincere apology . meeting with the party planner , taylor turns down his suggestions and wants it to be more elegant with silks and flowing cabanas . he gushes yes he can do that just like he did one recently for brooke logan in her back yard . he says a little too much though when she probes further and finds out he duplicated brooke 's palm springs wedding . taylor knows that was with eric . pam offers eric a big plate of lemon bars and asks about him and taylor wink , wink . he assures her that all is well there .</s> | 4,671 |

[ scene_break ] thomas : so now you see why i ca n't go to my father . caroline ? caroline : i know . i -- [ sighs ] i know . i got myself into this . thomas : what -- what good would it do ? all right , if he asked steffy to go back to the police , the video comes out , ivy has to change her statement , too . i mean , what 's the point ? nothing 's changed . it 's still self - defense . caroline : but it does n't look that way on the video ?

[ door slams ] [ monitor beeping ] carly : how was his chem panel ? daniel : it 's normal . carly : thank god for that . i ca n't figure out how he overdosed . he does n't even use medication . daniel : you know , i do n't think he did this to himself . carly : what do you mean ? daniel : well , there was gasoline all over him , all over the living room . carly : what ? daniel : oh , and then some ambulance just showed up because some anonymous person dialed 911 and said something 's gon na happen to bo , so -- carly : i do n't believe this . daniel : okay , hey , could you just wait outside for a minute ? carly : no , i 'm not gon na wait outside ! daniel : hey ... woman : doctor , his respirations are shallow . carly : look , we have to intubate him . daniel : no , not yet . carly : he could stop breathing , daniel . daniel : all right , 0.2 milligrams of flumazenil , i.v . carly : daniel ! woman : his sats are dropping . carly : he 's hypoxic ! we have to intubate him now ! daniel : no , no , i want the meds to work . hey , you are not a doctor in this room . you are a loved one . now , i am asking you to trust me , and i 'm ordering you to wait outside . maxine : come on . come on , honey . let -- let us do our thing . carly : i love you . please do n't leave me . daniel : it 's okay . okay , bag him . come on . i got this . i got this . keep an eye on the monitor . woman : his sats are better . daniel : okay . watch the monitor . woman : nice and slow . sami : you saw nicole tonight . what were you doing looking under rocks , ej ? ej : [ laughs ] um , actually , i bumped into her down at the pier . sami : was it a full moon ? ej : no , we had the strangest conversation , actually . sami : well , it 's nicole , right ? it 's bound to be strange in some way . ej : well , for some reason , i ca n't quite seem to fathom what , she told me that she wants to make things right between the two of us . sami : but you did n't buy it . ej : of course i did n't buy it . i mean , it 's nicole . she does n't do anything unless it serves herself . sami : so what 'd you do , laugh in her face ? ej : no , i decided that i would just go along with what she said , 'cause i wanted to find out what she was up to . but nicole made a call . i mean , she was up to nothing . sami : well , i would n't say that . she 's definitely up to something . i mean , she had that whole plan down at the pier where she was gon na say on live tv that you had tricked me about the townhouse . i mean , she 's trying to make you look bad , and then , all of a sudden , she tells you she wants to make things right ? no , she is up to something . nicole : look , we had a deal . and if you think i 'm letting you out of it , then you do n't know me very well . hey , i pay top dollar for that roach motel i rent from you , and my lease says that i get a parking spot . oh , yeah ? well , then tell that to the guy who 's in my space . better yet , why do n't you have his piece - of - crap car towed ? and you better do it before i get back tonight , okay ? or there will be hell to pay . ugh . man : i was wondering if you 'd like a refill . rafe : [ clears throat ] no , i 'm good . so ... could use a favor . matt : does daniel know that you 're pregnant ? and ... and he assumes it 's his ? well , then the reason you do n't want to get married is because the sacrament of marriage is something you do n't want to enter into under these conditions ? chloe : [ scoffs ] i wish i was that good a person . but , no , the truth is carly manning says that if i marry daniel without knowing who this baby 's father is , then she 's gon na tell daniel that i slept with another man . and she does n't even know that this man is her and daniel 's son - in - law . matt : [ exhales deeply ] chloe , i wish i could offer you some words of wisdom or comfort , but i just do n't know what to say . chloe : you can say what i 've been saying to myself a thousand times a day -- `` what were you thinking ? what 's wrong with you ? no wonder everyone keeps leaving you . you 're not worth it . `` matt : now , chloe , that kind of thinking got you into this mess . you are a child of god . you are worth it . chloe : i do n't know what i would do if i lost daniel . matt : he could find out the truth from someone else , you know . chloe : i know . and then he 'd hate me . matt : even if it 's his baby ? chloe : well , he would love our baby , but it would be over between him and me . and if that happens , i - i just do n't think i could go on . matt : well , then there 's only one thing you can do . carly : how is he ? daniel : well , he 's stable . carly : [ sighs ] thank you . thank you . when i think about what could have happened if you had n't gone over to the house ... daniel : yeah , i know . carly : who -- who could have done this to him ? daniel : roman -- he 's looking into all of that . carly : has he regained consciousness ? daniel : no , but we got most of the drugs out of his system , so he should be coming around , and hopefully he 'll tell us what happened . carly : this was his ordinary night , and i almost lost him . daniel : hey , come on . come on , let 's go sit down . you need to sit down . that gla ej : i mean , honestly ... after talking to nicole , i think her life is boring , you know ? i mean , she does n't seem to have a man in her life . she has n't got a child anymore . she lives in one room . sami : yeah , but she 's got that glamorous tv job , right ? ej : in salem . salem -- i mean , it 's hardly hollywood or baghdad , you know ? and this idea that she has some huge bombshell that she 's gon na drop ... i mean , really , a bombshell ? it 's nicole . she 's trying to get more attention towards herself . sami : well , maybe i should burst her bubble , tell her that i know everything , so she knows she does n't have one on you . ej : i think that 's a great idea . sami : you know ? ej : but actually , i do n't even think you need to do that , because i think she already knows . you see , that 's why she 's trying to make peace with me . she knows she 's gone too far . i do n't think we 're gon na have any trouble from nicole ... none . sami : well , i hope you 're right . ej : i 'm right . just trust me on this one . sami : it 's funny you say that , `` trust me , `` and in my head , it echoes every member of my family telling me not to . but , um ... i do n't know , ej . lately it just ... seems right . trusting you has gotten me this far , right ? ej : you have no idea how happy that makes me . sami : um ... i have something i have to tell you too . i , uh -- i spoke to my mom today . and she ... she wanted to ask me if it 'd be okay if she sold the townhouse . ej : oh . um ... what did you tell her ? sami : i , um ... i told her that it 'd be okay with me . ej : okay , so , um ... uh , do you have any idea of where you 're going to live ? sami : well , it 's funny you ask , because , um ... actually , ej , i was sort of hoping ... that the kids and i could stay here ... with you . nicole : oh ! oh , you idiot ! man : i 'm so sorry . nicole : oh , my gosh , this blouse is gon na be ruined . man : come back to the kitchen . maybe we can get the worst of it out . nicole : yeah , uh , you better hope so , or your tips are mine for the rest of your life . unbelievable . rafe : she has n't called ej since she left the pier . this is just gon na tell me where she lives ... which might just be enough . chloe : there 's only one thing i can do ? you mean tell daniel everything , right ? matt : doing it your way has gotten you in deeper and deeper . chloe : [ scoffs ] yeah . i really do have a knack , do n't i ? i am so positive that i have this proof that daniel 's having an affair with carly , and what do i do ? i do n't walk out on him . i do n't go out and get drunk . [ sighs ] i end up sleeping with another man ... and not just any man , but daniel 's daughter 's husband . do you think that there 's any chance in this world that daniel could understand any of that ? matt : i know he loves you very much . chloe : but what if that is n't enough ? matt : [ sighs ] chloe ... you do n't want my advice . you want me to promise i 'll keep quiet . and i will . chloe : thank you . matt : i just hope you find it in yourself to tell daniel the truth . and i 'll pray for you . chloe : please pray that daniel forgives me if he finds out what i 've done . daniel : i 'm gon na go check on bo . you want to come with me ? carly : what do you think ? roman : hey . how 's bo ? daniel : he 's stable . he 's gon na be all right . roman : really ? daniel : mm - hmm . roman : oh , man . all right , all right , that 's good news . thank you . carly : uh , daniel told me a little something about what happened . do you know anything more ? roman : well , smoke detectors in the house , fire alarm on the security system all disabled -- that and the presence of a accelerant . whoever drugged bo ... carly : wanted to burn him alive . roman : exactly . carly : that person is still out there ? roman : yeah . but the good news is somebody tried to save him . but the call was made on a disposable cell phone . carly : what -- what kind of person would want to do something so awful to a man like bo ? hope : surprised to see me ? lucky i know this hospital inside out ... no trouble at all figuring out where to find you . but you know what the best part is ? there 's no one in the room next to you . it 's kind of like i 'm meant to be here . bo ? still unconscious , huh ? good ... but not good enough . sami : ej , what are you talking about ? nicole : oh , my god . it 's a trap . carly : code blue . get the crash cart , stat ! daniel : crash cart ! carly : bo ! | hope was about to strike the matches and set bo on fire , but she blew the flame out . daniel showed up at bo 's house just in time . rafe overheard ej and nicole talking about a secret . he debated on whether he should say something . hope had briefly decided not to light bo on fire , but she convinced herself that bo does n't care about ciara and lit the match again . daniel knocked on the door and that stopped hope from lighting bo on fire . daniel walked in bo 's house and found him on the floor . hope was hiding in the kitchen and she was going to kill him . chloe talked to carly about daniel . sami had a fantasy about kissing rafe and he ended up at the dimera mansion . he wanted to know where ej was going and who he was supposed to be meeting . nicole talked to dr. baker about how she was in the clear as far as ej is concerned . she did n't tell him how she knows she 's off the hook . the police were about to show up at bo 's house and that was another way that bo was spared . | <s>[INST] hope : finally ... finally , i 'll be at peace .

rafe : no , i did n't want to say anything till i found out what you know , which , obviously , is nothing . sami : did you hear the whole conversation ? rafe : no , but i heard ej tell nicole that it has to stay a secret . sami : there 's a lot of reasons for that . maybe ej wanted to make sure that nicole does n't screw things up for arianna 's case . rafe : why do you feel the need to cover for him ? why ? sami : what are you saying ? rafe : i 'm saying you do n't want to look at what 's right in front of you , sami . sami : okay , then why do n't you spell it out for me ? rafe : okay , fine , i will . you want ej to be a better man . in fact , you think that he is a better man for some reason , and clearly he is not . he 's lying to you . he 's sneaking around behind your back . i mean , for god 's sake , he 's making truces with nicole . sami : wait a second . are you saying you think that he and nicole have gotten back together ? rafe : i do n't know . obviously , they 're doing something together . it does n't seem to be good . sami : why are you telling me this ? rafe : [ scoffs ] because i care about you . and i thought that you should know . sami : you care about me , but you do n't care enough about me to actually want me to be a part of your life . well , ej does . he wants me to be in his life . and maybe that 's where the problem is . daniel : all right , it looks like some kind of drug overdose , so let 's get a line in him . pulse is thready , breathing 's irregular . he 's completely unresponsive . roman : drugs -- that just does n't make any sense . boy , that smell of gasoline is strong , though . woman : it 's all over this guy . daniel : i just got here . i did n't get time to call 911 . how did an ambulance get here ?

daniel : well , there was gasoline all over him , all over the living room . carly : what ? daniel : oh , and then some ambulance just showed up because some anonymous person dialed 911 and said something 's gon na happen to bo , so -- carly : i do n't believe this . daniel : okay , hey , could you just wait outside for a minute ? carly : no , i 'm not gon na wait outside ! daniel : hey ... woman : doctor , his respirations are shallow . carly : look , we have to intubate him . daniel : no , not yet . carly : he could stop breathing , daniel . daniel : all right , 0.2 milligrams of flumazenil , i.v . carly : daniel ! woman : his sats are dropping . carly : he 's hypoxic ! we have to intubate him now ! daniel : no , no , i want the meds to work . hey , you are not a doctor in this room . you are a loved one . now , i am asking you to trust me , and i 'm ordering you to wait outside . maxine : come on . come on , honey . let -- let us do our thing . carly : i love you . please do n't leave me . daniel : it 's okay . okay , bag him . come on . i got this . i got this . keep an eye on the monitor . woman : his sats are better . daniel : okay . watch the monitor . woman : nice and slow . sami : you saw nicole tonight . what were you doing looking under rocks , ej ? ej : [ laughs ] um , actually , i bumped into her down at the pier . sami : was it a full moon ? ej : no , we had the strangest conversation , actually . sami : well , it 's nicole , right ? it 's bound to be strange in some way . ej : well , for some reason , i ca n't quite seem to fathom what , she told me that she wants to make things right between the two of us . sami : but you did n't buy it . ej : of course i did n't buy it . i mean , it 's nicole . she does n't do anything unless it serves herself . sami : so what 'd you do , laugh in her face ? ej : no , i decided that i would just go along with what she said , 'cause i wanted to find out what she was up to . but nicole made a call . i mean , she was up to nothing . sami : well , i would n't say that . she 's definitely up to something . i mean , she had that whole plan down at the pier where she was gon na say on live tv that you had tricked me about the townhouse . i mean , she 's trying to make you look bad , and then , all of a sudden , she tells you she wants to make things right ? no , she is up to something . nicole : look , we had a deal . and if you think i 'm letting you out of it , then you do n't know me very well . hey , i pay top dollar for that roach motel i rent from you , and my lease says that i get a parking spot . oh , yeah ? well , then tell that to the guy who 's in my space . better yet , why do n't you have his piece - of - crap car towed ? and you better do it before i get back tonight , okay ? or there will be hell to pay . ugh . man : i was wondering if you 'd like a refill . rafe : [ clears throat ] no , i 'm good . so ... could use a favor . matt : does daniel know that you 're pregnant ? and ... and he assumes it 's his ? well , then the reason you do n't want to get married is because the sacrament of marriage is something you do n't want to enter into under these conditions ? chloe : [ scoffs ] i wish i was that good a person . but , no , the truth is carly manning says that if i marry daniel without knowing who this baby 's father is , then she 's gon na tell daniel that i slept with another man . and she does n't even know that this man is her and daniel 's son - in - law . matt : [ exhales deeply ] chloe , i wish i could offer you some words of wisdom or comfort , but i just do n't know what to say . chloe : you can say what i 've been saying to myself a thousand times a day -- `` what were you thinking ? what 's wrong with you ? no wonder everyone keeps leaving you . you 're not worth it . `` matt : now , chloe , that kind of thinking got you into this mess . you are a child of god . you are worth it . chloe : i do n't know what i would do if i lost daniel . matt : he could find out the truth from someone else , you know . chloe : i know . and then he 'd hate me . matt : even if it 's his baby ? chloe : well , he would love our baby , but it would be over between him and me . and if that happens , i - i just do n't think i could go on . matt : well , then there 's only one thing you can do . carly : how is he ? daniel : well , he 's stable . carly : [ sighs ] thank you . thank you . when i think about what could have happened if you had n't gone over to the house ... daniel : yeah , i know . carly : who -- who could have done this to him ? daniel : roman -- he 's looking into all of that . carly : has he regained consciousness ? daniel : no , but we got most of the drugs out of his system , so he should be coming around , and hopefully he 'll tell us what happened . carly : this was his ordinary night , and i almost lost him . daniel : hey , come on . come on , let 's go sit down . you need to sit down . that gla ej : i mean , honestly ... after talking to nicole , i think her life is boring , you know ? i mean , she does n't seem to have a man in her life . she has n't got a child anymore . she lives in one room . sami : yeah , but she 's got that glamorous tv job , right ? ej : in salem . salem -- i mean , it 's hardly hollywood or baghdad , you know ? and this idea that she has some huge bombshell that she 's gon na drop ... i mean , really , a bombshell ? it 's nicole . she 's trying to get more attention towards herself . sami : well , maybe i should burst her bubble , tell her that i know everything , so she knows she does n't have one on you . ej : i think that 's a great idea . sami : you know ? ej : but actually , i do n't even think you need to do that , because i think she already knows . you see , that 's why she 's trying to make peace with me . she knows she 's gone too far . i do n't think we 're gon na have any trouble from nicole ... none . sami : well , i hope you 're right . ej : i 'm right . just trust me on this one . sami : it 's funny you say that , `` trust me , `` and in my head , it echoes every member of my family telling me not to . but , um ... i do n't know , ej . lately it just ... seems right . trusting you has gotten me this far , right ? ej : you have no idea how happy that makes me . sami : um ... i have something i have to tell you too . i , uh -- i spoke to my mom today . and she ... she wanted to ask me if it 'd be okay if she sold the townhouse . ej : oh . um ... what did you tell her ? sami : i , um ... i told her that it 'd be okay with me . ej : okay , so , um ... uh , do you have any idea of where you 're going to live ? sami : well , it 's funny you ask , because , um ... actually , ej , i was sort of hoping ... that the kids and i could stay here ... with you . nicole : oh ! oh , you idiot ! man : i 'm so sorry . nicole : oh , my gosh , this blouse is gon na be ruined . man : come back to the kitchen . maybe we can get the worst of it out . nicole : yeah , uh , you better hope so , or your tips are mine for the rest of your life . unbelievable . rafe : she has n't called ej since she left the pier . this is just gon na tell me where she lives ... which might just be enough . chloe : there 's only one thing i can do ? you mean tell daniel everything , right ? matt : doing it your way has gotten you in deeper and deeper . chloe : [ scoffs ] yeah . i really do have a knack , do n't i ? i am so positive that i have this proof that daniel 's having an affair with carly , and what do i do ? i do n't walk out on him . i do n't go out and get drunk . [ sighs ] i end up sleeping with another man ... and not just any man , but daniel 's daughter 's husband . do you think that there 's any chance in this world that daniel could understand any of that ? matt : i know he loves you very much . chloe : but what if that is n't enough ? matt : [ sighs ] chloe ... you do n't want my advice . you want me to promise i 'll keep quiet . and i will . chloe : thank you . matt : i just hope you find it in yourself to tell daniel the truth . and i 'll pray for you . chloe : please pray that daniel forgives me if he finds out what i 've done . daniel : i 'm gon na go check on bo . you want to come with me ? carly : what do you think ? roman : hey . how 's bo ? daniel : he 's stable . he 's gon na be all right . roman : really ? daniel : mm - hmm . roman : oh , man . all right , all right , that 's good news . thank you . carly : uh , daniel told me a little something about what happened . do you know anything more ? roman : well , smoke detectors in the house , fire alarm on the security system all disabled -- that and the presence of a accelerant . whoever drugged bo ... carly : wanted to burn him alive . roman : exactly . carly : that person is still out there ? roman : yeah . but the good news is somebody tried to save him . but the call was made on a disposable cell phone . carly : what -- what kind of person would want to do something so awful to a man like bo ? hope : surprised to see me ? lucky i know this hospital inside out ... no trouble at all figuring out where to find you . but you know what the best part is ? there 's no one in the room next to you . it 's kind of like i 'm meant to be here . bo ? still unconscious , huh ? good ... but not good enough . sami : ej , what are you talking about ? nicole : oh , my god . it 's a trap . carly : code blue . get the crash cart , stat ! daniel : crash cart ! carly : bo !Summarize.[/INST]hope was about to strike the matches and set bo on fire , but she blew the flame out . daniel showed up at bo 's house just in time . rafe overheard ej and nicole talking about a secret . he debated on whether he should say something . hope had briefly decided not to light bo on fire , but she convinced herself that bo does n't care about ciara and lit the match again . daniel knocked on the door and that stopped hope from lighting bo on fire . daniel walked in bo 's house and found him on the floor . hope was hiding in the kitchen and she was going to kill him . chloe talked to carly about daniel . sami had a fantasy about kissing rafe and he ended up at the dimera mansion . he wanted to know where ej was going and who he was supposed to be meeting . nicole talked to dr. baker about how she was in the clear as far as ej is concerned . she did n't tell him how she knows she 's off the hook . the police were about to show up at bo 's house and that was another way that bo was spared .</s> | 760 |
rick : this big announcement -- it 's not about work ? ridge : [ sighs ] brooke : uh ... no . [ chuckles ] donna : gee , i wonder what it could be . eric : yeah , i wonder . i mean , look at them . donna : [ laughs ] hope : come on . they want it to be a surprise . ridge : i proposed . [ laughter ] brooke and i are getting married , and we wanted the family to be the first to know . [ scene_break ] katie : fill up my schedule , adele . if i 'm here , i want to be in a meeting .

[ scene_break ] bill : [ grunting ] she wants me , wyatt . wyatt : who ? mom ? bill : she 's coming on to me . wyatt : what ? ! bill : she kissed me . said she wanted to see if it still felt like she remembered . wyatt : huh . i mean , it 's not the craziest thing she 's ever done . bill : she has n't exactly mellowed with age . wyatt : not like you , right , dad ? [ chuckles ] i mean , do you really want to get into a debate about which one of my parents is crazier ? [ scene_break ] bill : it 's not gon na happen , wyatt . quinn needs to know that . wyatt : you did n't make that clear with her ? bill : well , i think i made it clear , but you never know with her , do you ? wyatt : [ chuckles ] join the club . but you should n't worry about her . i think mom 's more interested in my relationship with hope than she is with starting a new one with you . bill : so , i hear that 's going well . wyatt : yeah . back on track . bill : it 's serious . wyatt : depends on what you mean by that . [ scene_break ] katie : [ sighs ] ridge and i had a friendship . that 's it . liam : oh , yeah ? is that what it was -- just a friendship ? no big deal -- just a friendship ? how come you 're talking about it in the past tense , then ? katie : because ridge is going back to brooke , and i do n't think we should discuss this anymore . liam : you know i 'm not doing this to upset you , right ? katie : ca n't you just leave it alone ? liam : no , i ca n't . i really ca n't . i went back to my office . i was sitting there , looking at the little placard thing you gave me . i was thinking about what a thoughtful person you , how you 're always putting other people 's needs first , you 're always thinking about what they need -- our advertisers , our employees , your sister . brooke has no idea what you 've given her . [ scene_break ] donna : oh , congratulations , brooke . brooke : thank you . eric : you , too , ridge . this is great . ridge : oh , come here . eric : good for you . hope : have you told r.j. , yet ? ridge : uh , no . we 're gon na wait until after the ceremony . he 's got to focus on his studies . brooke : besides , we 're not gon na do anything formal . ridge : nope . we 're gon na get a license , a witness , and make it official . eric : now , no courthouse wedding , now . come on . we can keep it small , but we 'll have it at the house . donna : oh , that would be so romantic -- getting married right where you first laid eyes on each other . [ scene_break ] bill : looks like i picked the right son to live with . wyatt : what , you 're suddenly into wheat grass and tofu ? bill : i just think it 's gon na get a little crowded here pretty quickly . wyatt : i do n't know what mom has told you , but hope is not moving in . bill : yeah . yet . wyatt : [ chuckles ] bill : the pace you 're moving -- could happen any time . so , i understand you worked through your problem . quinn said it was work related . wyatt : wow . mom really was chatty , was n't she ? look , i made a bad call . hope 's given me a chance to make up for it . she forgave me . bill : good . wyatt : what , that 's it ? bill : listen , i used to give liam a hard time about hope . i ... could n't figure out why he would feel like he had to constantly prove himself to her . i could n't imagine why any guy would want to put himself through that . but now i do . [ scene_break ] brooke : a proposal was the last thing i expected . ridge : [ sighs ] brooke : i was on my way to a press briefing . ridge : so , what are you saying ? i should have waited -- something less spur- of - the - moment ? brooke : no . your timing was perfect . ridge : your answer was perfect . `` yes `` from the right person is as beautiful as poetry . and our wedding is gon na be simple . we do n't want pomp and circumstance . we 've done that already . brooke : yeah . we ca n't top ourselves , so why even try ? donna : oh , come on . what kind of attitude is that ? hope : i think you should try and make this the biggest and best wedding you 've ever had . donna : yeah . ridge : i 'd like to focus on making this the best marriage we 've ever had . eric : all right . well , there 's no better place to start that marriage then in my -- my living room , under the watchful eye of your mother . rick : stephanie will keep you in line . eric : she would be so happy for both of you . donna : still , you just might want to keep out the `` speak now or forever hold your peace `` part . [ chuckles ] rick : yeah , that picture might come crashing down and hurt someone . brooke : that picture is not gon na come crashing down . this is one decision that nobody is going to be able to debate . hope : hey , if we 're doing it at the house , why not have carter officiate ? you think we could ? rick : well , carter did a great job for caroline and me . hope : yeah . rick : and we know that he can work on last - minute notice . brooke : oh , well , let 's not move too fast . i have n't even told katie yet . donna : oh , yeah . why is n't she here anyway ? is she stuck at the office ? brooke : i just want to be able to tell her on my own . [ scene_break ] liam : do n't you have just as much right to be happy as brooke does ? katie : i am not going to say one more word on this subject . liam : katie , you 're a good person , okay ? you do n't want to do to brooke what she did to you . katie : i wo n't . liam : but telling ridge to marry her -- why ? if it 's not even coming from him , why ? katie : he came back for brooke . he loves her . he always has . liam : okay . but he has feelings for you , too , which i saw with my own eyes . katie : not every feeling should be pursued . liam : katie , you and ridge have n't even had a chance . katie : liam , i appreciate the support and the advice , but this really is n't helping . liam : you know , sitting around , reading love poetry all day is never gon na be as sweet as the real thing , and if you have a chance -- if you have one , you owe it to yourself to take it . katie : you 're assuming an awful lot . liam : i 'm not assuming . i 'm just saying what i 've learned from experience . and if someone makes you happy , be with them . do n't wait for the circumstances to be perfect . do n't wait for it to look good to other people . just be happy . because i 'm telling you -- nothing feels worse than knowing you had a chance and letting it slip away . [ scene_break ] hope : so , mom and ridge are getting married again . rick : yeah , well , we 'll see about that . ridge said he wanted to be with mom as soon as he got back to town . how long has it taken him to propose ? hope : well , now he has . rick : she 's not wearing a ring . hope : what ? [ chuckling ] it 's not real until ridge puts a ring on her finger the size of the rock that you gave caroline ? they had some issues to deal with . rick : yeah , he had issues with mom . i want to be supportive . i am glad that she 's happy . but that 's a big red flag for me . hope : you do n't want to see her get hurt again . neither do i . trust me . but this time , it 's different . i talked to her about it . rick : i 'd like to believe that . hope : well , it seems that way , does n't it ? i mean , you saw mom . when was the last time that she smiled like that ? rick : she 's excited about the wedding , about being back together with ridge . but has she given any thought to what that means -- putting her faith in a man that -- that has let her down so many times ? hope : [ sighs ] yeah , but it 's not the same . she 's not competing with anyone anymore . there 's -- there 's nobody else in ridge 's life , and there 's no one else in hers . they finally have a chance to be really happy together . all of the ugliness with bill and all the guilt that mom felt about katie is -- is gone . this is a brand - new chapter for them . [ scene_break ] bill : i 'm not worried about that little dressmaker . wyatt : [ chuckles ] ridge did come back to l.a. for brooke . bill : big talk , no action . he balked , wyatt . wyatt : he found out she 'd be seeing you . bill : he did what he always does . he hesitated . sees what he wants right in front of him , but he ca n't pull the trigger . he 's got to think about it . wyatt : what 's wrong with that ? bill : he dumped her . cut off all contact for basically a year . he 's got no right to say anything about how she spent her time or who she spent it with . wyatt : is that how brooke feels ? bill : she should . [ chuckling ] i mean , the guy has been jerking her around like this for the duration of their relationship . he ca n't make a decision . he certainly ca n't make a real commitment . wyatt : so , the door 's still open for you . bill : yeah . if i can get brooke to stop worrying about katie . wyatt : that 's a big `` if . `` bill : well , the good news for me is valentine 's day is coming up . and there 's no way that forrester can compete with what your daddy 's got planned . [ scene_break ] liam : hey , uh . ridge ? ridge : hey . if you 're looking for hope , she just left with rick . liam : uh , no . i - i needed a minute with you , actually . ridge : come on in . close the door . liam : yeah . um , i was -- [ chuckles ] you probably know why i 'm here . i was just with katie . um ... incredible woman . ridge : she is . liam : yeah . a lot stronger than most people realize . ridge : she knows what she wants . liam : yes . that 's true . that 's true . and i respect that . i also respect her choices -- you know , raising will on her own and -- and running spencer publications and challenging my dad . you know , and that happened before the divorce . i mean , even when he was trying to meddle with hope and me , she always ... had our back . anyway , the point is i 'm just saying that you do n't have to worry about ... what i saw at the house . and katie -- you know , she says i should forget it , that it does n't matter , that you ... belong to brooke , but , um ... i do n't think she means it , ridge . ridge : katie does n't play games . and my future 's with brooke . and we got a pretty good start already . liam : what ? wait , why ? what happened ? ridge : i proposed to her . we 're getting married . [ scene_break ] [ door opens ] katie : oh . hi . brooke : [ sighs ] katie : uh ... [ clears throat ] this is a surprise . brooke : i have an even bigger surprise for you -- one that could make a big difference in both of our lives . katie : well , by the way you 're smiling , that could only mean one thing . [ chuckles ] brooke : you know i regret the choices that i 've made -- hurting you , causing this rift between us , and i want to fix it more than anything -- put this pain behind us . and i think today is the day to do that . i 'm moving on , and i want to do the same with you . katie : you 're moving on ? brooke : with ridge . katie : so , he , um , wants to work things out , huh ? brooke : [ chuckles ] better than that . ridge asked me to marry him . [ scene_break ] wyatt : so , you gon na win brooke back ? bill : oh , yeah . just a few more details to sort out . wyatt : valentine 's day ? bill : it 's gon na be the best one she ever had . wyatt : and ridge ? bill : well , he 's gon na have to make some other plans . [ scene_break ] liam : you and brooke are engaged ? wow . that 's -- wow . ridge : everyone 's very supportive . liam : yeah . yeah , yeah . congratulations . ridge : thank you . liam : i - i guess i should -- you know what ? you know what ? i witnessed a moment between you and katie , and it was so obvious to me that there is something magical -- ridge : hey , liam . liam ! i 'm marrying brooke . i 'm focused on my wedding . liam : when is that happening ? ridge : when ? as soon as possible . liam : well , why the rush , right ? i mean -- i mean -- you 're sure about this . ridge : i would n't have proposed if i was n't sure about it . liam : okay , but you did n't propose until today . right ? and you 've been spending a lot of time with katie and will , and -- and why would n't you ? i mean , they 're great to be around . everything she 's been through , you 'd like katie would be bitter , but she 's not . she 's stayed so positive for her family , and ... i really admire her , ridge . ridge : so do i . liam : for the record , she feels the same way about you , you know ? it 's not often you meet somebody who ... opens you up and makes you -- makes you see new things like ... poetry . [ chuckles ] ridge : i 'm committed to my family -- brooke and r.j. so i thank you for your concern and for your congratulations , but i think it 's best that you take katie 's advice and let this go . [ scene_break ] brooke : i told you i would never be a problem for you again , and i wo n't . katie : ridge proposed . [ chuckles ] brooke : i knew he would . it was only a matter of time . katie : and you ... could n't wait to tell me . brooke : ridge and i are starting over , and i want to be able to do the same with you . so maybe now you know that everything i 've said is true . i know you probably do n't want to go back to bill , but this should prove to you neither do i . katie : but that 's not why you said , `` yes . `` i mean , you did say , `` yes `` ? brooke : not as fast as ridge would have liked . i understand now why you could n't let your guard down with me . it was n't out of being cautious or being stubborn . it was deeper than that . when ridge asked me to marry him , i wanted to say yes right away . he 's the man i 've always wanted to marry . he 's the man that i love . but i just could n't . this man that i love so much also hurt me more than anybody else ever has . i needed more than reassurance . i needed him to tell me , beyond a shadow of a doubt , that he was never going to do that to me again . and i understand now that that 's what you need from me . i 'm here to give that to you . ridge and i are gon na be married very soon , so any concerns that you 've had about me and bill -- you can put that to rest . and maybe you might want to patch things up with bill . katie : [ scoffs ] brooke : maybe you wo n't , but either way , you will know that i will never come between you and a man ever again . whatever else we are at home with our families or at work , we are sisters first . katie : yes , we are . and i 'm happy for you . | ridge and brooke call everyone together at the office and ridge announces that he proposed . brooke said yes and they are going to get married . they want rj to concentrate on his studies and will tell him later . eric insists that they can keep it small and informal but have it at the house . all but rick seem okay with this . but he is sure that stephanie will be looking down from her portrait at them . rick tells hope that he wants to be happy for his mom but he has doubts in ridge , a man that has let her down so many times . liam drops in on katie and wastes no time by saying he knows she and ridge share the same feelings for each other and she has as much right to be happy as brooke does . katie tells him not to pursue this and she is not going to say one more thing on this subject . she ends by saying ridge came back for brooke . he loves brooke and always has and will . she says she appreciates his support ad advice but this is not helping . he tells her sitting around all day reading love poetry is no swap for the real thing . if she has a chance , then she owes it to herself to take it . he says he has learned from experience , if someone makes you happy then be with them .do n't wait for it to be perfect or look good to other people , just be happy . he says nothing is worse than knowing you had your chance and let it slip away . then he visits ridge at his office . nervously he brings up katie and says he witnessed something between them and despite what katie might be saying about ridge needs to go back to brooke , he does n't believe she means that . ridge says katie is a good person and does n't play games . ridge says his future is with brooke and he has a pretty good start already . he tells liam that he proposed to brooke and they are getting married . liam is taken aback . he starts in again and ridge interrupts him . he says he is marrying brooke and he is just focusing on that right now . liam still rattles on . finally ridge gets up and takes the book of poetry out of liam 's hands and says he is committed to his family , brooke and rj . he thanks him for his concern and his congratulations but he should take katie 's advice and just let this go . katie is surprised to see brooke in her office . brooke says she has regretted a lot of things but she 'd like to fix that and she thinks today is the day to do that . she says she is moving on and she 'd like to do the same with katie . katie is pretty well floored when brooke says ridge has asked her to marry him . she vows never to come between her and her man again . maybe she does not want bill back , but this proves that neither does brooke . whatever they are , they will always be sisters . katie hugs her and says yes , and she is happy for brooke . katie 's tears flow . | <s>[INST] rick : this big announcement -- it 's not about work ? ridge : [ sighs ] brooke : uh ... no .

[ scene_break ] bill : it 's not gon na happen , wyatt . quinn needs to know that . wyatt : you did n't make that clear with her ? bill : well , i think i made it clear , but you never know with her , do you ? wyatt : [ chuckles ] join the club . but you should n't worry about her . i think mom 's more interested in my relationship with hope than she is with starting a new one with you . bill : so , i hear that 's going well . wyatt : yeah . back on track . bill : it 's serious . wyatt : depends on what you mean by that . [ scene_break ] katie : [ sighs ] ridge and i had a friendship . that 's it . liam : oh , yeah ? is that what it was -- just a friendship ? no big deal -- just a friendship ? how come you 're talking about it in the past tense , then ? katie : because ridge is going back to brooke , and i do n't think we should discuss this anymore . liam : you know i 'm not doing this to upset you , right ? katie : ca n't you just leave it alone ? liam : no , i ca n't . i really ca n't . i went back to my office . i was sitting there , looking at the little placard thing you gave me . i was thinking about what a thoughtful person you , how you 're always putting other people 's needs first , you 're always thinking about what they need -- our advertisers , our employees , your sister . brooke has no idea what you 've given her . [ scene_break ] donna : oh , congratulations , brooke . brooke : thank you . eric : you , too , ridge . this is great . ridge : oh , come here . eric : good for you . hope : have you told r.j. , yet ? ridge : uh , no . we 're gon na wait until after the ceremony . he 's got to focus on his studies . brooke : besides , we 're not gon na do anything formal . ridge : nope . we 're gon na get a license , a witness , and make it official . eric : now , no courthouse wedding , now . come on . we can keep it small , but we 'll have it at the house . donna : oh , that would be so romantic -- getting married right where you first laid eyes on each other . [ scene_break ] bill : looks like i picked the right son to live with . wyatt : what , you 're suddenly into wheat grass and tofu ? bill : i just think it 's gon na get a little crowded here pretty quickly . wyatt : i do n't know what mom has told you , but hope is not moving in . bill : yeah . yet . wyatt : [ chuckles ] bill : the pace you 're moving -- could happen any time . so , i understand you worked through your problem . quinn said it was work related . wyatt : wow . mom really was chatty , was n't she ? look , i made a bad call . hope 's given me a chance to make up for it . she forgave me . bill : good . wyatt : what , that 's it ? bill : listen , i used to give liam a hard time about hope . i ... could n't figure out why he would feel like he had to constantly prove himself to her . i could n't imagine why any guy would want to put himself through that . but now i do . [ scene_break ] brooke : a proposal was the last thing i expected . ridge : [ sighs ] brooke : i was on my way to a press briefing . ridge : so , what are you saying ? i should have waited -- something less spur- of - the - moment ? brooke : no . your timing was perfect . ridge : your answer was perfect . `` yes `` from the right person is as beautiful as poetry . and our wedding is gon na be simple . we do n't want pomp and circumstance . we 've done that already . brooke : yeah . we ca n't top ourselves , so why even try ? donna : oh , come on . what kind of attitude is that ? hope : i think you should try and make this the biggest and best wedding you 've ever had . donna : yeah . ridge : i 'd like to focus on making this the best marriage we 've ever had . eric : all right . well , there 's no better place to start that marriage then in my -- my living room , under the watchful eye of your mother . rick : stephanie will keep you in line . eric : she would be so happy for both of you . donna : still , you just might want to keep out the `` speak now or forever hold your peace `` part . [ chuckles ] rick : yeah , that picture might come crashing down and hurt someone . brooke : that picture is not gon na come crashing down . this is one decision that nobody is going to be able to debate . hope : hey , if we 're doing it at the house , why not have carter officiate ? you think we could ? rick : well , carter did a great job for caroline and me . hope : yeah . rick : and we know that he can work on last - minute notice . brooke : oh , well , let 's not move too fast . i have n't even told katie yet . donna : oh , yeah . why is n't she here anyway ? is she stuck at the office ? brooke : i just want to be able to tell her on my own . [ scene_break ] liam : do n't you have just as much right to be happy as brooke does ? katie : i am not going to say one more word on this subject . liam : katie , you 're a good person , okay ? you do n't want to do to brooke what she did to you . katie : i wo n't . liam : but telling ridge to marry her -- why ? if it 's not even coming from him , why ? katie : he came back for brooke . he loves her . he always has . liam : okay . but he has feelings for you , too , which i saw with my own eyes . katie : not every feeling should be pursued . liam : katie , you and ridge have n't even had a chance . katie : liam , i appreciate the support and the advice , but this really is n't helping . liam : you know , sitting around , reading love poetry all day is never gon na be as sweet as the real thing , and if you have a chance -- if you have one , you owe it to yourself to take it . katie : you 're assuming an awful lot . liam : i 'm not assuming . i 'm just saying what i 've learned from experience . and if someone makes you happy , be with them . do n't wait for the circumstances to be perfect . do n't wait for it to look good to other people . just be happy . because i 'm telling you -- nothing feels worse than knowing you had a chance and letting it slip away . [ scene_break ] hope : so , mom and ridge are getting married again . rick : yeah , well , we 'll see about that . ridge said he wanted to be with mom as soon as he got back to town . how long has it taken him to propose ? hope : well , now he has . rick : she 's not wearing a ring . hope : what ? [ chuckling ] it 's not real until ridge puts a ring on her finger the size of the rock that you gave caroline ? they had some issues to deal with . rick : yeah , he had issues with mom . i want to be supportive . i am glad that she 's happy . but that 's a big red flag for me . hope : you do n't want to see her get hurt again . neither do i . trust me . but this time , it 's different . i talked to her about it . rick : i 'd like to believe that . hope : well , it seems that way , does n't it ? i mean , you saw mom . when was the last time that she smiled like that ? rick : she 's excited about the wedding , about being back together with ridge . but has she given any thought to what that means -- putting her faith in a man that -- that has let her down so many times ? hope : [ sighs ] yeah , but it 's not the same . she 's not competing with anyone anymore . there 's -- there 's nobody else in ridge 's life , and there 's no one else in hers . they finally have a chance to be really happy together . all of the ugliness with bill and all the guilt that mom felt about katie is -- is gone . this is a brand - new chapter for them . [ scene_break ] bill : i 'm not worried about that little dressmaker . wyatt : [ chuckles ] ridge did come back to l.a. for brooke . bill : big talk , no action . he balked , wyatt . wyatt : he found out she 'd be seeing you . bill : he did what he always does . he hesitated . sees what he wants right in front of him , but he ca n't pull the trigger . he 's got to think about it . wyatt : what 's wrong with that ? bill : he dumped her . cut off all contact for basically a year . he 's got no right to say anything about how she spent her time or who she spent it with . wyatt : is that how brooke feels ? bill : she should . [ chuckling ] i mean , the guy has been jerking her around like this for the duration of their relationship . he ca n't make a decision . he certainly ca n't make a real commitment . wyatt : so , the door 's still open for you . bill : yeah . if i can get brooke to stop worrying about katie . wyatt : that 's a big `` if . `` bill : well , the good news for me is valentine 's day is coming up . and there 's no way that forrester can compete with what your daddy 's got planned . [ scene_break ] liam : hey , uh . ridge ? ridge : hey . if you 're looking for hope , she just left with rick . liam : uh , no . i - i needed a minute with you , actually . ridge : come on in . close the door . liam : yeah . um , i was -- [ chuckles ] you probably know why i 'm here . i was just with katie . um ... incredible woman . ridge : she is . liam : yeah . a lot stronger than most people realize . ridge : she knows what she wants . liam : yes . that 's true . that 's true . and i respect that . i also respect her choices -- you know , raising will on her own and -- and running spencer publications and challenging my dad . you know , and that happened before the divorce . i mean , even when he was trying to meddle with hope and me , she always ... had our back . anyway , the point is i 'm just saying that you do n't have to worry about ... what i saw at the house . and katie -- you know , she says i should forget it , that it does n't matter , that you ... belong to brooke , but , um ... i do n't think she means it , ridge . ridge : katie does n't play games . and my future 's with brooke . and we got a pretty good start already . liam : what ? wait , why ? what happened ? ridge : i proposed to her . we 're getting married . [ scene_break ] [ door opens ] katie : oh . hi . brooke : [ sighs ] katie : uh ... [ clears throat ] this is a surprise . brooke : i have an even bigger surprise for you -- one that could make a big difference in both of our lives . katie : well , by the way you 're smiling , that could only mean one thing . [ chuckles ] brooke : you know i regret the choices that i 've made -- hurting you , causing this rift between us , and i want to fix it more than anything -- put this pain behind us . and i think today is the day to do that . i 'm moving on , and i want to do the same with you . katie : you 're moving on ? brooke : with ridge . katie : so , he , um , wants to work things out , huh ? brooke : [ chuckles ] better than that . ridge asked me to marry him . [ scene_break ] wyatt : so , you gon na win brooke back ? bill : oh , yeah . just a few more details to sort out . wyatt : valentine 's day ? bill : it 's gon na be the best one she ever had . wyatt : and ridge ? bill : well , he 's gon na have to make some other plans . [ scene_break ] liam : you and brooke are engaged ? wow . that 's -- wow . ridge : everyone 's very supportive . liam : yeah . yeah , yeah . congratulations . ridge : thank you . liam : i - i guess i should -- you know what ? you know what ? i witnessed a moment between you and katie , and it was so obvious to me that there is something magical -- ridge : hey , liam . liam ! i 'm marrying brooke . i 'm focused on my wedding . liam : when is that happening ? ridge : when ? as soon as possible . liam : well , why the rush , right ? i mean -- i mean -- you 're sure about this . ridge : i would n't have proposed if i was n't sure about it . liam : okay , but you did n't propose until today . right ? and you 've been spending a lot of time with katie and will , and -- and why would n't you ? i mean , they 're great to be around . everything she 's been through , you 'd like katie would be bitter , but she 's not . she 's stayed so positive for her family , and ... i really admire her , ridge . ridge : so do i . liam : for the record , she feels the same way about you , you know ? it 's not often you meet somebody who ... opens you up and makes you -- makes you see new things like ... poetry . [ chuckles ] ridge : i 'm committed to my family -- brooke and r.j. so i thank you for your concern and for your congratulations , but i think it 's best that you take katie 's advice and let this go . [ scene_break ] brooke : i told you i would never be a problem for you again , and i wo n't . katie : ridge proposed . [ chuckles ] brooke : i knew he would . it was only a matter of time . katie : and you ... could n't wait to tell me . brooke : ridge and i are starting over , and i want to be able to do the same with you . so maybe now you know that everything i 've said is true . i know you probably do n't want to go back to bill , but this should prove to you neither do i . katie : but that 's not why you said , `` yes . `` i mean , you did say , `` yes `` ? brooke : not as fast as ridge would have liked . i understand now why you could n't let your guard down with me . it was n't out of being cautious or being stubborn . it was deeper than that . when ridge asked me to marry him , i wanted to say yes right away . he 's the man i 've always wanted to marry . he 's the man that i love . but i just could n't . this man that i love so much also hurt me more than anybody else ever has . i needed more than reassurance . i needed him to tell me , beyond a shadow of a doubt , that he was never going to do that to me again . and i understand now that that 's what you need from me . i 'm here to give that to you . ridge and i are gon na be married very soon , so any concerns that you 've had about me and bill -- you can put that to rest . and maybe you might want to patch things up with bill . katie : [ scoffs ] brooke : maybe you wo n't , but either way , you will know that i will never come between you and a man ever again . whatever else we are at home with our families or at work , we are sisters first . katie : yes , we are . and i 'm happy for you .Summarize.[/INST]ridge and brooke call everyone together at the office and ridge announces that he proposed . brooke said yes and they are going to get married . they want rj to concentrate on his studies and will tell him later . eric insists that they can keep it small and informal but have it at the house . all but rick seem okay with this . but he is sure that stephanie will be looking down from her portrait at them . rick tells hope that he wants to be happy for his mom but he has doubts in ridge , a man that has let her down so many times . liam drops in on katie and wastes no time by saying he knows she and ridge share the same feelings for each other and she has as much right to be happy as brooke does . katie tells him not to pursue this and she is not going to say one more thing on this subject . she ends by saying ridge came back for brooke . he loves brooke and always has and will . she says she appreciates his support ad advice but this is not helping . he tells her sitting around all day reading love poetry is no swap for the real thing . if she has a chance , then she owes it to herself to take it . he says he has learned from experience , if someone makes you happy then be with them .do n't wait for it to be perfect or look good to other people , just be happy . he says nothing is worse than knowing you had your chance and let it slip away . then he visits ridge at his office . nervously he brings up katie and says he witnessed something between them and despite what katie might be saying about ridge needs to go back to brooke , he does n't believe she means that . ridge says katie is a good person and does n't play games . ridge says his future is with brooke and he has a pretty good start already . he tells liam that he proposed to brooke and they are getting married . liam is taken aback . he starts in again and ridge interrupts him . he says he is marrying brooke and he is just focusing on that right now . liam still rattles on . finally ridge gets up and takes the book of poetry out of liam 's hands and says he is committed to his family , brooke and rj . he thanks him for his concern and his congratulations but he should take katie 's advice and just let this go . katie is surprised to see brooke in her office . brooke says she has regretted a lot of things but she 'd like to fix that and she thinks today is the day to do that . she says she is moving on and she 'd like to do the same with katie . katie is pretty well floored when brooke says ridge has asked her to marry him . she vows never to come between her and her man again . maybe she does not want bill back , but this proves that neither does brooke . whatever they are , they will always be sisters . katie hugs her and says yes , and she is happy for brooke . katie 's tears flow .</s> | 3,499 |

[ scene_break ] sonny : it 's pretty obvious . you and your brother have plenty of reasons to hate me . some of them are valid , i 'd have to admit . claudia : you mean like you locking johnny in a padded cell and having him beaten . luke : so you figured a little judicious murder would soothe the emotional wounds . claudia : i was standing in the middle of the metro court hotel talking to carly when her kid was shot . sonny : i never said you pulled the trigger . you would n't get your hands dirty . you 'd get somebody else to do it for you . and maybe they missed and shot my son ! claudia : i 'm not your only enemy , sonny . my father has been sane for months , certainly long enough to plan a hit , maybe with the help of his new best friend , ric . sonny : okay , you got proof ? claudia : no , not yet , but the list just keeps getting longer . i mean , there 's ric 's father , trevor . sonny : mm - hmm . claudia : any thug who wants to move drugs through port charles knows you 're in the way . or the friends and the families of anyone you 've eliminated . i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry for what happened to your kid in that warehouse , but do n't lay it on me . you brought it on yourself .

[ scene_break ] carly : this is n't like you , jack . it 's not jack snyder to ignore the fact that there is evidence missing from one of his cases ! jack : number one , it 's not my case . number two , why do you even care ? carly : i care because leo morrissey almost put our son in jail and because , at one time , you were quite anxious to know what happened up at that reservoir and who was responsible ! jack : well , after living with it for a while , i 've decided that , after what he put parker and liberty through , i do n't care what happens to leo morrissey . carly : jack , you 're lying . you know , you 're usually very good at separating the professional from the personal , but right now you 're doing a lousy job . jack : is there another reason you 're here , other than to give me a hard time ? carly : i would like to talk about what happened between us at the wedding . jack : i ca n't get into that now . carly : okay . well , maybe you have time for this . they need both our signatures on this permission slip for sage . jack : fine . anything else ? no ? good . [ scene_break ] paul : look , i feel terrible you had to come to the job site and look for me today . i 'd feel a whole lot better if you were just upstairs , getting some rest . meg : well , maybe all those kicks really do mean , `` hey , mommy , go up there and lie down , will you ? `` paul : that 's my boy . smart boy . meg : yeah , just like his daddy . james : you 're making a lot of promises , paul . i 'm curious , how do you intend to keep those promises without my help ? [ scene_break ] bonnie : this is it ? vienna : it seems so deserted . bonnie : well , what did you expect ? nobody advertises an illegal card game . vienna : i ca n't believe that my henry 's been here the whole time . bonnie : can we go ? we found the warehouse . can we just let vienna drag henry out on her own ? derek : i want to check it out first , just to make sure it 's safe . you two wait here . i 'll be right back .

marisa : nothing that would incriminate you . victor : did you tell them that marco annicelli looks exactly like jack abbott ? marisa : no , and i did n't tell them you kidnapped jack , either . victor : okay . if you 're smart , you will stick to that , okay ? marisa : see , i 'm not so sure about that . the police are more inclined to protect me than you are . victor : if you do as i say ... and you keep your mouth shut , you 'll be all right . if you open your mouth ... have a good day . summer : is he still watching us ? mariah : he has n't taken his eyes off of us . abby : it could be one of marco 's men . summer : or it could be marco himself . i mean , does he look like a drug lord ? mariah : he looks like he 's trying to not look like he 's watching us . noah : this is ridiculous . summer : no , noah . no , stop . abby : we ca n't let him know that we spotted him . noah : it 's probably just some guy checking you out because he thinks you 're hot . abby : no . i know what that looks like , and that is not the way he is gawking at us . noah : [ scoffs ] mariah : hey , do n't . summer : noah , do n't ! abby : oh ... my god . i can not believe he 's doing this . mariah : what is he thinking ? summer : i do n't know . oh , my god . he 's reaching into his pocket right now . abby : i 'm running . mariah : is it a gun ? summer : i do n't know . i ca n't tell . can you tell ? abby : mnh - mnh . noah : [ clears throat ] he 's a cop sent by detective harding to keep an eye on us . summer : he could be just saying that . noah : no . he has a badge . it 's real . i saw it . so , you can all relax . summer : i 'm going to relax once they 've caught marco . thank you . abby : you know what ? i came here to get away from work . all the stress -- i thought i 'd relax , sit by the pool , but instead , i found out that the killer is still alive and he is still out there . so , i am going back to my cutthroat office , where people do n't actually cut your throat . excuse me . mariah : [ sighs ] at this point , everyone looks suspicious . i have no idea who we can trust . summer : do you really think that marisa 's still on our side ? noah : without a doubt . harding : it was marisa sierras -- you 're sure ? kevin : yeah . no doubt . she and victor had their heads together . harding : and what were they saying ? kevin : i could n't get close enough to hear , but it was intense . at one point , victor had a vein popping out of his forehead . harding : interesting . kevin : what , i - interesting ? that 's your whole reaction ? harding : what do you expect me to do -- faint ? kevin : no ! i expect you to haul marisa in here and interrogate her ! harding : for what ? for walking in the park ? kevin : well , at least talk to her . victor wo n't speak , but we can get marisa to spill . harding : whoa , whoa , whoa . we ? no , no , no . fish , your part in this is done . kevin : but i 'm the one who discovered that there were -- harding : no . listen to me . do n't worry . i have ways of finding out what she knows . kevin : fine . at least tell me what you 're ... planning . marisa : i , uh -- i got your text , detective . what do you want ? harding : a physical description of marco annicelli . jack : sweetheart , i 'm so sorry . phyllis : it 's not your fault . jack : i wish to god i could ... i have to ask , d - did he hurt you -- physically , i mean ? phyllis : [ crying ] i thought he was you . so i - i just -- i went -- jack : nothing seemed strange , maybe a little off ? phyllis : it was different . everything was different . he looked like you . he sounded like you . why would it have occurred to me ever that he was n't you ? these things do n't happen ! jack : except when victor newman is involved . phyllis : [ crying ] this twin of yours -- he must have really ... had a laugh at me ... being so clueless . i mean ... no wonder he smiled at me the way he did , like he had just won the freaking lottery ! he knew that he could just grab whatever he wanted , whenever he wanted ! [ sobbing ] how did victor do this ? how did victor get away with this ? how did he pull you out of that hotel room without me hearing it ? jack : he had help . he had some thugs that posed as bellmen . i was chloroformed . next thing i knew , i woke up chained to a bed with -- with kelly andrews standing over me . phyllis : kelly ? dead kelly ? jack : yeah , yeah , yeah . it turns out that the picture we saw of her in the morgue had been doctored . phyllis : [ laughing and crying ] of course it was . why did n't i think of that ? jack : no , no , no . we -- neither of us thought of it . we wanted her gone so much , we would have accepted anything . phyllis : was she your jailer ? jack : yeah . and she fed me a regular diet of pills so that my mind was completely twisted around . phyllis : why would she do that ? why would she feed you pills ? jack : honey , i was so completely out of it , i eventually believed her when she said that you were dead . phyllis : she said i was dead ? jack : she had documentation and everything . she ... she wanted me to get over my mourning of you so i could get on to my next wife . phyllis : let me guess -- her . jack : yeah . eventually , i started to see things a little more clearly , and as soon as i did , i could not get back to you fast enough . phyllis : this is all starting to make sense now . you did n't have a wedding ring on when you came into the hospital . that number 2 you wrote -- that 's what you meant -- that there were two of you . jack : yes . phyllis : who is he ? have you been able to find out ? jack : his name is marco annicelli . he is a wanted drug lord who had nothing to lose in leaving his life and walking into mine . phyllis : where is he ? victoria : i know this must have been a tough decision to make . it 's not too late to back out if you want . nick : nope . i 'm all - in . victoria : what about dad ? nick : dad -- you know , he , uh -- he says he 's on board , but who knows ? you ca n't count on him . victoria : i agree , but you ca n't let that stop you . oh , there he is . hello . thank you so much for coming . i think you have exactly what my brother 's looking for . nick : well , it was a pleasure doing business with you . thank you . billy : who 's your friend ? nick : uh , ooh . look at the time . i , uh -- i got a thing . uh , thanks , vick . victoria : yeah . good luck . billy : good luck with what ? what 's he up to ? victoria : it 's not some corporate back - door maneuver , if that 's what you 're thinking . billy : oh , good , 'cause i 'm sick of fighting over the company . in fact , i do n't even want to think about it . i have a much better way to spend the afternoon , if you 're game . phyllis : where is this marco , jack ? tell me where he is . jack : this is the one place where justice has been served . marco is dead . phyllis : well , that 's too bad , because i wish i did it myself . did you -- jack : no , no . phyllis : did you -- did you do it ? jack : no , no . no . no . i did n't shoot him . before i could , victor shot me . phyllis : wait a minute . that 's why he did it ? to stop you from exposing his part in this ? i knew it . i knew it could n't be something as simple as a stupid newman - abbott feud . jack : nothing is simple where that man is concerned . phyllis : yeah , but once again , he is in control . he is pulling all the strings and the trigger . marco may be dead , but victor is n't -- not yet . abby : `` she 'll never know what hit her `` ? that 's what victoria said ? ashley : those were her exact words . both : she had to be talking about me . abby : victoria 's made it more than clear that she wants me out as coo . ashley : honey , she has resented me forever . abby : and you 're saying nick was a part of this , too ? ashley : does that really surprise you -- the newmans want the abbotts out of here ? i have to tell you , nicholas and victoria are both being very cagy and very secretive . victor : i assure you the newmans are not keeping any secrets . ashley : really ? especially not you , right ? because you 're such an open book . victor : oh , you know that . abby : i love you , dad , but an open book you are not . victor : really ? you ask me any questions , i 'll answer them truthfully . ashley : okay . i 'll play along . victor : uh - huh . ashley : given what 's happened of late , are you armed and dangerous ? kevin : are you gon na talk to her about victor ? harding : not right now . first i want to see marco annicelli 's face . apparently , marisa 's the only o on the planet willing to provide a physical description of the guy . harding : you all finished ? marisa : yes . i did the best that i co can i get back to work ? harding : sure . thank you for your help . harding : ready to get a look at the guy ? kevin : yeah . let 's do this . so , that 's marco annicelli . kevin : i thought he would be more -- harding : more what ? like al pacino ? kevin : more anything . something . he 's just so ordinary , like the kind of guy that just blends into a crowd , you know ? harding : yeah , well , maybe that 's an asset for a guy like this . do n't worry . we 're not gon na let him blend in anywhere . i 'm gon na paper the town with his face and make sure everybody 's on the lookout for him . kevin : i wish that made me feel better . harding : hey , this is a big step toward catching the guy . kevin : well , it 's the steps in between i 'm worried about . harding : well , you do n't have to be , all right ? you and your friends are being watched . trust me -- you 're safe . marisa : oh , no . what happened ? your happy hour does n't look very happy . sage : we 're closed for a private party . i tried to call you , but it went straight to voicemail . nick gave the staff the rest of the day off with pay . marisa : sounds good to me . i 'll see you tomorrow . sage : see you . oh , uh , marisa , someone called for you a little earlier . marisa : who ? sage : uh , i do n't know . he did n't leave a name . marisa : it was a he ? sage : yeah . he said that , uh , he would catch up with you sooner or later . marisa : all right . thank you . sage : yeah . nick : hey , marisa . marisa : thanks for the day off , nick . nick : wow . somebody 's really looking forward to her day off . she could n't get out of here fast enough . anyway , hi . hi . sage : hi . nick : hi . sage : hi . [ giggles ] how was your day at the office ? nick : oh , whatever . it 's just work . how are things here ? sage : uh , super . i 'm a little concerned because no one showed up for our private party , though . nick : yes , they have . sage : what are you talking about ? the place is empty . nick : what are we ? sage : we ? we do n't count ! nick : well , that 's where you 're wrong , because the private party ... is for us . victor : i am not in the habit of carrying a gun unless there 's a very specific threat . ashley : so , what about the rest of my question ? are you dangerous ? victor : that depends on ... the beholder . ashley : well , what if the beholder was jack ? victor : well , he has nothing to fear at all . ashley : this coming from the man who put a bullet in him . and who 's to say you would n't do it again ? victor : but jack and i made peace . ashley : you know , i do n't believe that . jack was communicating , you know , with those hand squeezes , and he basically said that he was unarmed when you shot him . then he did an about - face and absolved you , and i 'd love to know why . victor : this hand - squeezing business is not a precise science , is it ? i do n't know what the hell it meant . you and phyllis misinterpreted . ashley : i do n't think so . and you know what else ? that number 2 that he wrote down -- what was the significance of that ? victor : oh , number 2 . number 2 . well , perhaps it meant that he wanted desperately for newman and abbott to work together . ashley : or perhaps it means that you 're holding something over on him . victor : where does all this hostility come from ? ashley : oh , gee , i do n't know -- maybe just years and years of knowing you and watching you destroy people 's lives over and over and over again . abby : enough ! mom , dad , will you please stop fighting ? victor : our daughter is right . if jack abbott and i can put our weapons down and get along and work together , i think you and i should be able to do the same , do n't you ? jack : sweetheart , i know you want to see victor pay for his part in what he did to us . phyllis : so , how can we make that happen ? jack : that 's where this gets complicated . phyllis : complicated ? what do you mean , complicated ? he violated both of us . that is a new low , even for his standards . he should be locked up for that ! jack : i do n't disagree with that . phyllis : then why is n't he in jail already ? i do n't understand . you did not have a gun in the park that night . jack : no , i did n't . i was reaching for my phone . but he thought i was marco , and marco was armed . phyllis : why did n't you tell the police that ? jack ? jack : honey , i - i did some things trying to get back to you , things -- things that were criminal ... things victor knows about . phyllis : okay . whatever you did , it ca n't be any worse than what victor just did . jack : [ voice breaking ] i think i murdered kelly . phyllis : good . mariah : this is him ? this is marco ? kevin : according to marisa . harding called her in , and this is the description she gave . summer : so , now we know what to look for . noah : so , now i hope this is enough proof that you can trust marisa . kevin : no , not necessarily . noah : she 's putting herself out there to give this description to the cops . what else do you need ? kevin : i would like an explanation for why she secretly met up with victor at chancellor park . jack : my mind was so riddled with drugs , i did n't know which way was up , and ... one morning i woke up ... and kelly was lying next to me , dead . she 'd been stabbed . phyllis : and you do n't remember doing it ? jack : no . phyllis : okay . even if you did , it was self - defense . she was holding you against your will , pumping you with drugs . the police will understand that . jack : there 's more to it . after i managed to get free of that hellhole ... i stowed away on a cargo ship . turned out their cargo was cocaine . the captain of the ship was a rival of marco annicelli . and he had -- [ voice breaking ] he had a grudge . he had something he needed to work out with him , and he saw me , and ... phyllis : do n't tell me . jack : yeah . i could n't convince him i was n't the guy . he knocked me around pretty good . it was clear i was gon na be executed , and ... the only thing i could do was ... light a fire that caused an explosion that blew up the ship . the whole ship went down . people died . phyllis : honey ... i know you , and i know that you must regret doing that , but you had to do what you had to do to survive . it is a miracle you did . jack : yeah . i had help . her name was marisa . phyllis : the woman in the hospital room ? she said she heard something , so she came in . she never mentioned she knew you . she certainly did n't say anything about marco . jack : i 'm sure she was just scared for her life . phyllis : that or she has an agenda . jack : no , no . she 's on my side . i know she 's on my side . i would never have survived without her . phyllis : look , i - i - i do n't understand ... why you are letting victor hold all of this over your head . you are the victim here . jack : if i do n't , he will see to it i am put away for life . we have to keep this to ourselves . phyllis : what about what happened to me ? we 're just gon na forget that happened ? jack : no , that 's not what i 'm saying . phyllis : yes , it is . you are asking me to let victor get away with this . victoria : he 's really loving those bubbles , huh ? billy : yeah . it 's nice to see you smiling again . you know , you have n't checked your cell phone once . i 'm very proud of you . victoria : yeah ? well ... this is just what i needed . billy : hey . can i come join you ? oh . victoria : thanks for talking me into it . why did you , anyway ? billy : oh , i do n't know . i guess it 's ... [ chuckles ] it 's what i needed , too . nick : what do you think of the private party so far ? sage : i do n't think it could get any better . nick : [ chuckling ] oh . you have n't seen anything yet . sage : oh , yeah ? nick : yeah . sage : [ chuckles ] nick : wait till the clown gets here . he 's gon na have balloons . there 's gon na be fireworks . sage : fireworks ? we do n't need all that . this is ... perfect just the way it is . nick : you 're a simple girl , huh ? sage : all i ever wanted was to feel safe after my parents died . but nothing ever felt solid after that . even when constance took me in , i was always the outsider . nick : i know a few things about being an outsider myself . sage : well , that makes sense , then , does n't it ? two people who never belonged gravitate toward each other . nick : gravitate ? [ chuckles ] is that what you call you finding me in a bear trap ? i mean , the things i will go to to meet a beautiful woman . sage : [ chuckles ] nick : now that we 've done that ... i think we should take the next step . sage : what next step ? [ chuckles ] we 're already having a baby . nick : well , there 's this . sage warner ... will you do me the honor of becoming my wife ? sage : i do n't know what to say . [ clears throat ] i think i was n't ... expecting this . we just started living together . nick : sage , i want to be with you . i want to build a life together . you said the two of us have been looking for a place where we belong . well , what if -- what if where we belong is right here , with each other ? sage : yes . nick : yes ? yes , we belong with each other , or , yes , you 'll marry me ? sage : uh ... [ crying ] both . abby : i do n't understand why you ca n't give him the benefit of the doubt , especially when uncle jack has . thank you . ashley : oh , honey . really ? i mean , you can be so naive . jack has not made peace with victor . abby : well , he 's giving an awfully good impression of it . ashley : yeah , that 's exactly what he did when the merger happened , and he ended up getting shot by victor in the park . this truce is a lie . there 's something else going on . your father was playing us just now , just like he 's played at everything else in his entire life . abby : well , your marriage to him was n't a game . dad loved you . i 'm sure he still does , just like a part of you probably still loves him . ashley : i do n't think i have any love left for your dad . abby : all right . then respect . ashley : i do n't have any respect , either . abby : [ sighs ] dad was a huge part of your life . you do n't just get over that . ashley : oh , my god ! i did n't just get over it . it took me years ! seriously , it took me years . but i 've seen too much . i know who that man really is . abby : just like i know who ben really is , and he would never do anything like that . ashley : honey , nobody 's perfect . not even ben . mariah : this marisa chick has noah totally whipped . kevin : maybe not . he seemed really shaken up when i mentioned her meeting with victor . mariah : i wonder what their connection is . kevin : and i wonder how much victor knows about the murders and marco . summer : nothing . he knows nothing . there is n't a shred of evidence tying him to any of this , so please stop trying to lay the blame on him . you guys , my grandpa would not have a part in killing my husband and noah 's fiancée . [ scoffs ] i am just so sick of the two of you . mariah : you know , snowflake , if you want to stick your head in the sand , be my guest , but do n't say that we did n't warn you . summer : okay , fine . you guys go after my grandpa , and i 'll look for the real killer . mariah : do you think that this is really marco annicelli ? kevin : absolutely not . [ knock on door ] [ knock on door ] marisa : who is it ? noah : marisa , it 's me -- noah . marisa : i 'm so glad it 's you . noah : expecting someone else ? marisa : marco , of course . noah : or my grandfather , maybe ? marisa : your grandfather ? noah : yeah . you two met . marisa : i do n't know what you 're talking about . noah : you 're gon na deny it ? really ? someone saw you two . marisa : who ? noah : does n't matter . why do n't you tell me what you two talked about ? marisa : [ sighs ] okay , but you 're not gon na like it . victor told me to stay away from you . harding : mr. newman . victor : detective harding . care to join me for a drink ? harding : uh , thank you . i would , but i 'm on duty . excuse me . have you seen this man ? if he comes in here , give me a call . he 's very dangerous . victor : hope you find him soon . harding : thank you . victor : shall we have a look ? i thought you said he looks like jack abbott . victor : yeah , he obviously does . but , you know ... whatever happened , that gives us enough time to find him -- the real marco annicelli -- before the cops do . and when i find him ? victor : you leave that to me , okay ? jack : the last thing i want is for victor to get away with what he 's done to either of us . phyllis : how are we gon na find any justice if we have to keep this to ourselves ? jack : it wo n't be forever . i will find a way to even the score eventually . phyllis : eventually ? that is not good enough . jack : we just have to give it some time . look , trust me . if we do n't think this through , victor will slip through our hands again . we can do this . we can beat him . but we have to do it together . i will be there for you every step of the way . i 'm not going anywhere . i do n't mean to push you on this , phyllis . i love you , and i want what 's best for you . phyllis : if you did , you would have told me about all of this when you were able to . jack : i was trying to protect you . phyllis : you were three months late . jack : phyllis ... phyllis : i do n't blame you . there is one person who needs to answer to me for this , and i 'm gon na see to it that he does . [ next_on ] phyllis : with all due respect , nikki , either you 're drunk , delusional , or both . dylan : so , if you 're having any doubts or if you changed your mind about our relationship , now 's the time to tell me . marisa : it is you , jack , is n't it ? | marisa is surprised to learn that victor knows that marco is still alive . she tells victor that if he does n't keep her safe from marco , she will tell the police all about his plan to bring marco to town . victor cautions marisa that if she tells the police what she knows , there will be no place to hide from him . kevin sees marisa talking to victor and tells detective harding that , although he could n't hear what they were saying , it is clear that they share a secret . when harding brings marisa in to the station , she gives him a sketch of marco , but it is actually the captain of the ship that exploded . | <s>[INST] phyllis : i do n't understand . what do you mean , there are two jack abbotts ? jack : this is gon na be hard for you to believe . hell , i ca n't believe i 'm saying it . but someone who looked just like me took over my life while i was thousands of miles away . a - and i know you think i 've lost my mind or that this is some side effect of the coma . it 's not . it happened . i have n't been more lucid in months . red , this man completely took over my life . phyllis : [ chuckles softly ] how -- how could ... someone get away with that ? jack : with the help of the son of a bitch who put this whole thing in motion . victor : [ breathes deeply ] i do n't like being summoned . this had better be important . marisa : kevin fisher and mariah copeland went diving in lake delaney , and it was n't to see the marine life . victor : what did they say ? marisa : they found marco 's car -- with no marco in it . my god . you knew . mariah : we felt like we did n't have a choice , so kevin and i went to the police . summer : the police ? i thought that we all agreed we were gon na keep this to ourselves . abby : yeah . what happened to not telling anyone about marisa and her ex ? i thought we had to protect her from the psycho drug dealer 's psycho friends . summer : yeah , the ones that would come after marisa if they found that she was with marco when he died . mariah : yeah , but that 's the thing -- he did n't die . summer : what ? abby : what ? i thought you said you were 99 % sure . mariah : well , you know what they say about that 1 % . summer : wait . okay . how did you find this out ? did the police drag the lake or something ? abby : oh , my god . you and kevin did ? you never went skinny - dipping ? that whole story was completely bogus ! summer : you know what ? just forget about all of that . just tell us what you found . mariah : well , it 's not about what we found . it 's about what we did n't find . there was a car , but there was no body . summer : wait . so , th - that means that marco is still alive . abby : and marisa lied ? noah : no , she did n't , actually . she was just as surprised as you were that marco survived the crash . abby : so , he 's still out there and we 're still targets . summer : i thought that everything was fine -- thought that everyone was safe and that no one was gon na get hurt . [ clattering ] summer : [ gasps ] noah : guys , calm down , all right ? we just need to relax . no reason to panic . mariah : i would n't speak too soon . there 's a really creepy guy watching us . sage : yeah , i 'm sorry about that . i 'll just sent you another voucher . is that okay ? all right . okay . bye - bye . hey , there , billy . what can i do you for ? billy : i 'm looking for gabe . you got any idea where he is ? sage : well , we 're divorced , remember ? and even when we were married , i did n't keep tabs on him . billy : yeah , well , he kept tabs on you . the guy always seems to know what 's going on , and i 'm hoping that he does in this case , as well . sage : what case ? billy : it 's chelsea . she 's gone . victoria : it 's not my problem . ashley : well , it 's gon na be , victoria , if you do n't pay attention to market trends . nick : you two may want to think about chilling out since everyone in the hallway can hear you . victoria : good ! everyone should hear how wasteful ashley would be with newman- abbott funds if left to her own devices . thankfully , she 's not . ashley : and neither are you . have you forgotten my daughter 's your superior ? she has the final say . nick : okay . well , why do n't we try and hash it out so abby does n't have to bother with it ? ashley : why would we do that when you 're just gon na side with your sister ? and why are you invested again ? are n't you on your way out of here ? nick : eh . i 'm thinking of sticking around . victoria : oh , my gosh . nick , that 's great news ! ashley : i see exactly what 's happening here . jack 's out of the country , so victor 's gon na circle the wagons and force him out . jack : victor got wind of a plan to overthrow newman enterprises called the paragon project . he thought i was behind it , and he struck the first blow to protect his company . phyllis : were you behind it ? jack : no . no . no . this was all news to me , which victor could have found out if he 'd simply asked . but no -- he had me kidnapped and replaced by a double . phyllis : [ gasps ] how the hell would victor find someone that looked just like you ? jack : i do n't know . how does victor do anything ? all i know is he has been masquerading as me for months now . phyllis : how many months ? when did this happen ? jack : right after we took our vows . the minister had just left ... and you went to soak in the spa tub . phyllis : are you saying that when i came out of the tub ... jack : i was gone . another jack was there . phyllis : [ gasps ] [ crying ] oh , my god . oh , my god . all this time ... [ gasping ] he and i ... oh , my god . [ crying ] sage : what do you mean , chelsea 's gone ? billy : she left this really strange message at work , saying that she was n't coming in , that she needed some time away . sage : you 're still concerned for her , even after she cheated on you with gabe . billy : i still care about what happens to her , and i want to make sure that connor 's okay . sage : you really love that little boy , huh ? billy : i miss being a dad to him . i mean , i know that i was n't really his father , but ... sage : blood does n't make a parent . you gave that child love , compassion , protection . that 's what makes a real father . nick : you have the wrong idea , ashley . my sticking around is not part of some of corporate coup . i 'm not my father 's pawn . ashley : really ? i 'm pretty sure your father thinks you are . i 'm just sorry for you that you got pulled back into this . i thought you were finally free . nick : i have one goal for this job and one goal only , and that is to stop all the infighting . ashley : good luck with that . victoria : an attitude like that certainly does n't help . ashley : do n't talk to me about attitudes . have you seen yours lately ? honestly , there 's only one way we 're gon na make any changes around here -- get rid of the cancer at the top . nick : ashley , uh , would you mind if i had a word alone with my sister ? ashley : corporate secrets ? nick : no . it 's personal . ashley : sure . victoria : okay . so , i know the perfect person to pull this off -- very discreet , does n't come cheap , but she 'll never know what hit her . marisa : tell me , where 's marco ? victor : why would i care what happened to that criminal ? marisa : because you and him were working together to bring down jack 's company , and he can testify to that . somehow , i do n't think you 'd want a potential threat like that on the loose . victor : you think you 're very clever , do n't you ? marisa : i just want him caught and out of my life . victor : i 'm sorry i ca n't help you along those lines . you know , when you told me that there was a car wreck at the bottom of the lake , i had my people check it out , and they found no one . marisa : so , all this time i thought marco was dead , you knew he was alive ? you had me walk around , believing the danger was over ? ! victor : shh , shh , shh , shh , shh . keep your voice down . marisa : marco was ready to kill me ! if i had n't grabbed the wheel of that car , he would have , and he 's probably out there waiting right now for the chance to try again . and i 'm not the only one at risk . your daughter abby , your granddaughter , your grandson -- they 're all loose ends . victor : he will not get to them . marisa : [ sighs ] how can you be so sure ? victor : because i have a security detail ... following every member of my family . marisa : and me ? there 's no one in the bushes watching my back ? i did n't have to tell you about the car accident , but i did . and i did n't go ratting to the cops about your connection to marco . one would think you 'd be grateful for that . but i suppose to you , i 'm nothing more than another loose end . victor : someone is tailing you , as well . marisa : how do i know you 're sincere ? victor : if you 're smart , you 'll realize that it 's in my interest to keep you in my sights , because if this marco character approaches anyone ... it 'll be you first . marisa : i see . i 'm not a loose end . i 'm bait . victor : if and when he shows up , i 'll be ready for him . marisa : well , i 've got news for you , mr. newman . you 're not the only one hunting marco . victor : who else is looking for this scum annicelli ? marisa : the genoa city police department . kevin and mariah were so upset marco survived , they went running to the cops . victor : and ? marisa : they asked me a lot of questions . victor : what did you tell them ? marisa : nothing that would incriminate you . victor : did you tell them that marco annicelli looks exactly like jack abbott ? marisa : no , and i did n't tell them you kidnapped jack , either . victor : okay . if you 're smart , you will stick to that , okay ? marisa : see , i 'm not so sure about that . the police are more inclined to protect me than you are . victor : if you do as i say ... and you keep your mouth shut , you 'll be all right . if you open your mouth ... have a good day . summer : is he still watching us ? mariah : he has n't taken his eyes off of us . abby : it could be one of marco 's men . summer : or it could be marco himself . i mean , does he look like a drug lord ? mariah : he looks like he 's trying to not look like he 's watching us . noah : this is ridiculous . summer : no , noah . no , stop . abby : we ca n't let him know that we spotted him . noah : it 's probably just some guy checking you out because he thinks you 're hot . abby : no . i know what that looks like , and that is not the way he is gawking at us . noah : [ scoffs ] mariah : hey , do n't . summer : noah , do n't ! abby : oh ... my god . i can not believe he 's doing this . mariah : what is he thinking ? summer : i do n't know . oh , my god . he 's reaching into his pocket right now . abby : i 'm running . mariah : is it a gun ? summer : i do n't know . i ca n't tell . can you tell ? abby : mnh - mnh . noah : [ clears throat ] he 's a cop sent by detective harding to keep an eye on us . summer : he could be just saying that . noah : no . he has a badge . it 's real . i saw it . so , you can all relax . summer : i 'm going to relax once they 've caught marco . thank you . abby : you know what ? i came here to get away from work . all the stress -- i thought i 'd relax , sit by the pool , but instead , i found out that the killer is still alive and he is still out there . so , i am going back to my cutthroat office , where people do n't actually cut your throat . excuse me . mariah : [ sighs ] at this point , everyone looks suspicious . i have no idea who we can trust . summer : do you really think that marisa 's still on our side ? noah : without a doubt . harding : it was marisa sierras -- you 're sure ? kevin : yeah . no doubt . she and victor had their heads together . harding : and what were they saying ? kevin : i could n't get close enough to hear , but it was intense . at one point , victor had a vein popping out of his forehead . harding : interesting . kevin : what , i - interesting ? that 's your whole reaction ? harding : what do you expect me to do -- faint ? kevin : no ! i expect you to haul marisa in here and interrogate her ! harding : for what ? for walking in the park ? kevin : well , at least talk to her . victor wo n't speak , but we can get marisa to spill . harding : whoa , whoa , whoa . we ? no , no , no . fish , your part in this is done . kevin : but i 'm the one who discovered that there were -- harding : no . listen to me . do n't worry . i have ways of finding out what she knows . kevin : fine . at least tell me what you 're ... planning . marisa : i , uh -- i got your text , detective . what do you want ? harding : a physical description of marco annicelli . jack : sweetheart , i 'm so sorry . phyllis : it 's not your fault . jack : i wish to god i could ... i have to ask , d - did he hurt you -- physically , i mean ? phyllis : [ crying ] i thought he was you . so i - i just -- i went -- jack : nothing seemed strange , maybe a little off ? phyllis : it was different . everything was different . he looked like you . he sounded like you . why would it have occurred to me ever that he was n't you ? these things do n't happen ! jack : except when victor newman is involved . phyllis : [ crying ] this twin of yours -- he must have really ... had a laugh at me ... being so clueless . i mean ... no wonder he smiled at me the way he did , like he had just won the freaking lottery ! he knew that he could just grab whatever he wanted , whenever he wanted ! [ sobbing ] how did victor do this ? how did victor get away with this ? how did he pull you out of that hotel room without me hearing it ? jack : he had help . he had some thugs that posed as bellmen . i was chloroformed . next thing i knew , i woke up chained to a bed with -- with kelly andrews standing over me . phyllis : kelly ? dead kelly ? jack : yeah , yeah , yeah . it turns out that the picture we saw of her in the morgue had been doctored . phyllis : [ laughing and crying ] of course it was . why did n't i think of that ? jack : no , no , no . we -- neither of us thought of it . we wanted her gone so much , we would have accepted anything . phyllis : was she your jailer ? jack : yeah . and she fed me a regular diet of pills so that my mind was completely twisted around . phyllis : why would she do that ? why would she feed you pills ? jack : honey , i was so completely out of it , i eventually believed her when she said that you were dead . phyllis : she said i was dead ? jack : she had documentation and everything . she ... she wanted me to get over my mourning of you so i could get on to my next wife . phyllis : let me guess -- her . jack : yeah . eventually , i started to see things a little more clearly , and as soon as i did , i could not get back to you fast enough . phyllis : this is all starting to make sense now . you did n't have a wedding ring on when you came into the hospital . that number 2 you wrote -- that 's what you meant -- that there were two of you . jack : yes . phyllis : who is he ? have you been able to find out ? jack : his name is marco annicelli . he is a wanted drug lord who had nothing to lose in leaving his life and walking into mine . phyllis : where is he ? victoria : i know this must have been a tough decision to make . it 's not too late to back out if you want . nick : nope . i 'm all - in . victoria : what about dad ? nick : dad -- you know , he , uh -- he says he 's on board , but who knows ? you ca n't count on him . victoria : i agree , but you ca n't let that stop you . oh , there he is . hello . thank you so much for coming . i think you have exactly what my brother 's looking for . nick : well , it was a pleasure doing business with you . thank you . billy : who 's your friend ? nick : uh , ooh . look at the time . i , uh -- i got a thing . uh , thanks , vick . victoria : yeah . good luck . billy : good luck with what ? what 's he up to ? victoria : it 's not some corporate back - door maneuver , if that 's what you 're thinking . billy : oh , good , 'cause i 'm sick of fighting over the company . in fact , i do n't even want to think about it . i have a much better way to spend the afternoon , if you 're game . phyllis : where is this marco , jack ? tell me where he is . jack : this is the one place where justice has been served . marco is dead . phyllis : well , that 's too bad , because i wish i did it myself . did you -- jack : no , no . phyllis : did you -- did you do it ? jack : no , no . no . no . i did n't shoot him . before i could , victor shot me . phyllis : wait a minute . that 's why he did it ? to stop you from exposing his part in this ? i knew it . i knew it could n't be something as simple as a stupid newman - abbott feud . jack : nothing is simple where that man is concerned . phyllis : yeah , but once again , he is in control . he is pulling all the strings and the trigger . marco may be dead , but victor is n't -- not yet . abby : `` she 'll never know what hit her `` ? that 's what victoria said ? ashley : those were her exact words . both : she had to be talking about me . abby : victoria 's made it more than clear that she wants me out as coo . ashley : honey , she has resented me forever . abby : and you 're saying nick was a part of this , too ? ashley : does that really surprise you -- the newmans want the abbotts out of here ? i have to tell you , nicholas and victoria are both being very cagy and very secretive . victor : i assure you the newmans are not keeping any secrets . ashley : really ? especially not you , right ? because you 're such an open book . victor : oh , you know that . abby : i love you , dad , but an open book you are not . victor : really ? you ask me any questions , i 'll answer them truthfully . ashley : okay . i 'll play along . victor : uh - huh . ashley : given what 's happened of late , are you armed and dangerous ? kevin : are you gon na talk to her about victor ? harding : not right now . first i want to see marco annicelli 's face . apparently , marisa 's the only o on the planet willing to provide a physical description of the guy . harding : you all finished ? marisa : yes . i did the best that i co can i get back to work ? harding : sure . thank you for your help . harding : ready to get a look at the guy ? kevin : yeah . let 's do this . so , that 's marco annicelli . kevin : i thought he would be more -- harding : more what ? like al pacino ? kevin : more anything . something . he 's just so ordinary , like the kind of guy that just blends into a crowd , you know ? harding : yeah , well , maybe that 's an asset for a guy like this . do n't worry . we 're not gon na let him blend in anywhere . i 'm gon na paper the town with his face and make sure everybody 's on the lookout for him . kevin : i wish that made me feel better . harding : hey , this is a big step toward catching the guy . kevin : well , it 's the steps in between i 'm worried about . harding : well , you do n't have to be , all right ? you and your friends are being watched . trust me -- you 're safe . marisa : oh , no . what happened ? your happy hour does n't look very happy . sage : we 're closed for a private party . i tried to call you , but it went straight to voicemail . nick gave the staff the rest of the day off with pay . marisa : sounds good to me . i 'll see you tomorrow . sage : see you . oh , uh , marisa , someone called for you a little earlier . marisa : who ? sage : uh , i do n't know . he did n't leave a name . marisa : it was a he ? sage : yeah . he said that , uh , he would catch up with you sooner or later . marisa : all right . thank you . sage : yeah . nick : hey , marisa . marisa : thanks for the day off , nick . nick : wow . somebody 's really looking forward to her day off . she could n't get out of here fast enough . anyway , hi . hi . sage : hi . nick : hi . sage : hi . [ giggles ] how was your day at the office ? nick : oh , whatever . it 's just work . how are things here ? sage : uh , super . i 'm a little concerned because no one showed up for our private party , though . nick : yes , they have . sage : what are you talking about ? the place is empty . nick : what are we ? sage : we ? we do n't count ! nick : well , that 's where you 're wrong , because the private party ... is for us . victor : i am not in the habit of carrying a gun unless there 's a very specific threat . ashley : so , what about the rest of my question ? are you dangerous ? victor : that depends on ... the beholder . ashley : well , what if the beholder was jack ? victor : well , he has nothing to fear at all . ashley : this coming from the man who put a bullet in him . and who 's to say you would n't do it again ? victor : but jack and i made peace . ashley : you know , i do n't believe that . jack was communicating , you know , with those hand squeezes , and he basically said that he was unarmed when you shot him . then he did an about - face and absolved you , and i 'd love to know why . victor : this hand - squeezing business is not a precise science , is it ? i do n't know what the hell it meant . you and phyllis misinterpreted . ashley : i do n't think so . and you know what else ? that number 2 that he wrote down -- what was the significance of that ? victor : oh , number 2 . number 2 . well , perhaps it meant that he wanted desperately for newman and abbott to work together . ashley : or perhaps it means that you 're holding something over on him . victor : where does all this hostility come from ? ashley : oh , gee , i do n't know -- maybe just years and years of knowing you and watching you destroy people 's lives over and over and over again . abby : enough ! mom , dad , will you please stop fighting ? victor : our daughter is right . if jack abbott and i can put our weapons down and get along and work together , i think you and i should be able to do the same , do n't you ? jack : sweetheart , i know you want to see victor pay for his part in what he did to us . phyllis : so , how can we make that happen ? jack : that 's where this gets complicated . phyllis : complicated ? what do you mean , complicated ? he violated both of us . that is a new low , even for his standards . he should be locked up for that ! jack : i do n't disagree with that . phyllis : then why is n't he in jail already ? i do n't understand . you did not have a gun in the park that night . jack : no , i did n't . i was reaching for my phone . but he thought i was marco , and marco was armed . phyllis : why did n't you tell the police that ? jack ? jack : honey , i - i did some things trying to get back to you , things -- things that were criminal ... things victor knows about . phyllis : okay . whatever you did , it ca n't be any worse than what victor just did . jack : [ voice breaking ] i think i murdered kelly . phyllis : good . mariah : this is him ? this is marco ? kevin : according to marisa . harding called her in , and this is the description she gave . summer : so , now we know what to look for . noah : so , now i hope this is enough proof that you can trust marisa . kevin : no , not necessarily . noah : she 's putting herself out there to give this description to the cops . what else do you need ? kevin : i would like an explanation for why she secretly met up with victor at chancellor park . jack : my mind was so riddled with drugs , i did n't know which way was up , and ... one morning i woke up ... and kelly was lying next to me , dead . she 'd been stabbed . phyllis : and you do n't remember doing it ? jack : no . phyllis : okay . even if you did , it was self - defense . she was holding you against your will , pumping you with drugs . the police will understand that . jack : there 's more to it . after i managed to get free of that hellhole ... i stowed away on a cargo ship . turned out their cargo was cocaine . the captain of the ship was a rival of marco annicelli . and he had -- [ voice breaking ] he had a grudge . he had something he needed to work out with him , and he saw me , and ... phyllis : do n't tell me . jack : yeah . i could n't convince him i was n't the guy . he knocked me around pretty good . it was clear i was gon na be executed , and ... the only thing i could do was ... light a fire that caused an explosion that blew up the ship . the whole ship went down . people died . phyllis : honey ... i know you , and i know that you must regret doing that , but you had to do what you had to do to survive . it is a miracle you did . jack : yeah . i had help . her name was marisa . phyllis : the woman in the hospital room ? she said she heard something , so she came in . she never mentioned she knew you . she certainly did n't say anything about marco . jack : i 'm sure she was just scared for her life . phyllis : that or she has an agenda . jack : no , no . she 's on my side . i know she 's on my side . i would never have survived without her . phyllis : look , i - i - i do n't understand ... why you are letting victor hold all of this over your head . you are the victim here . jack : if i do n't , he will see to it i am put away for life . we have to keep this to ourselves . phyllis : what about what happened to me ? we 're just gon na forget that happened ? jack : no , that 's not what i 'm saying . phyllis : yes , it is . you are asking me to let victor get away with this . victoria : he 's really loving those bubbles , huh ? billy : yeah . it 's nice to see you smiling again . you know , you have n't checked your cell phone once . i 'm very proud of you . victoria : yeah ? well ... this is just what i needed . billy : hey . can i come join you ? oh . victoria : thanks for talking me into it . why did you , anyway ? billy : oh , i do n't know . i guess it 's ... [ chuckles ] it 's what i needed , too . nick : what do you think of the private party so far ? sage : i do n't think it could get any better . nick : [ chuckling ] oh . you have n't seen anything yet . sage : oh , yeah ? nick : yeah . sage : [ chuckles ] nick : wait till the clown gets here . he 's gon na have balloons . there 's gon na be fireworks . sage : fireworks ? we do n't need all that . this is ... perfect just the way it is . nick : you 're a simple girl , huh ? sage : all i ever wanted was to feel safe after my parents died . but nothing ever felt solid after that . even when constance took me in , i was always the outsider . nick : i know a few things about being an outsider myself . sage : well , that makes sense , then , does n't it ? two people who never belonged gravitate toward each other . nick : gravitate ? [ chuckles ] is that what you call you finding me in a bear trap ? i mean , the things i will go to to meet a beautiful woman . sage : [ chuckles ] nick : now that we 've done that ... i think we should take the next step . sage : what next step ? [ chuckles ] we 're already having a baby . nick : well , there 's this . sage warner ... will you do me the honor of becoming my wife ? sage : i do n't know what to say . [ clears throat ] i think i was n't ... expecting this . we just started living together . nick : sage , i want to be with you . i want to build a life together . you said the two of us have been looking for a place where we belong . well , what if -- what if where we belong is right here , with each other ? sage : yes . nick : yes ? yes , we belong with each other , or , yes , you 'll marry me ? sage : uh ... [ crying ] both . abby : i do n't understand why you ca n't give him the benefit of the doubt , especially when uncle jack has . thank you . ashley : oh , honey . really ? i mean , you can be so naive . jack has not made peace with victor . abby : well , he 's giving an awfully good impression of it . ashley : yeah , that 's exactly what he did when the merger happened , and he ended up getting shot by victor in the park . this truce is a lie . there 's something else going on . your father was playing us just now , just like he 's played at everything else in his entire life . abby : well , your marriage to him was n't a game . dad loved you . i 'm sure he still does , just like a part of you probably still loves him . ashley : i do n't think i have any love left for your dad . abby : all right . then respect . ashley : i do n't have any respect , either . abby : [ sighs ] dad was a huge part of your life . you do n't just get over that . ashley : oh , my god ! i did n't just get over it . it took me years ! seriously , it took me years . but i 've seen too much . i know who that man really is . abby : just like i know who ben really is , and he would never do anything like that . ashley : honey , nobody 's perfect . not even ben . mariah : this marisa chick has noah totally whipped . kevin : maybe not . he seemed really shaken up when i mentioned her meeting with victor . mariah : i wonder what their connection is . kevin : and i wonder how much victor knows about the murders and marco . summer : nothing . he knows nothing . there is n't a shred of evidence tying him to any of this , so please stop trying to lay the blame on him . you guys , my grandpa would not have a part in killing my husband and noah 's fiancée . [ scoffs ] i am just so sick of the two of you . mariah : you know , snowflake , if you want to stick your head in the sand , be my guest , but do n't say that we did n't warn you . summer : okay , fine . you guys go after my grandpa , and i 'll look for the real killer . mariah : do you think that this is really marco annicelli ? kevin : absolutely not . [ knock on door ] [ knock on door ] marisa : who is it ? noah : marisa , it 's me -- noah . marisa : i 'm so glad it 's you . noah : expecting someone else ? marisa : marco , of course . noah : or my grandfather , maybe ? marisa : your grandfather ? noah : yeah . you two met . marisa : i do n't know what you 're talking about . noah : you 're gon na deny it ? really ? someone saw you two . marisa : who ? noah : does n't matter . why do n't you tell me what you two talked about ? marisa : [ sighs ] okay , but you 're not gon na like it . victor told me to stay away from you . harding : mr. newman . victor : detective harding . care to join me for a drink ? harding : uh , thank you . i would , but i 'm on duty . excuse me . have you seen this man ? if he comes in here , give me a call . he 's very dangerous . victor : hope you find him soon . harding : thank you . victor : shall we have a look ? i thought you said he looks like jack abbott . victor : yeah , he obviously does . but , you know ... whatever happened , that gives us enough time to find him -- the real marco annicelli -- before the cops do . and when i find him ? victor : you leave that to me , okay ? jack : the last thing i want is for victor to get away with what he 's done to either of us . phyllis : how are we gon na find any justice if we have to keep this to ourselves ? jack : it wo n't be forever . i will find a way to even the score eventually . phyllis : eventually ? that is not good enough . jack : we just have to give it some time . look , trust me . if we do n't think this through , victor will slip through our hands again . we can do this . we can beat him . but we have to do it together . i will be there for you every step of the way . i 'm not going anywhere . i do n't mean to push you on this , phyllis . i love you , and i want what 's best for you . phyllis : if you did , you would have told me about all of this when you were able to . jack : i was trying to protect you . phyllis : you were three months late . jack : phyllis ... phyllis : i do n't blame you . there is one person who needs to answer to me for this , and i 'm gon na see to it that he does . [ next_on ] phyllis : with all due respect , nikki , either you 're drunk , delusional , or both . dylan : so , if you 're having any doubts or if you changed your mind about our relationship , now 's the time to tell me . marisa : it is you , jack , is n't it ?Summarize.[/INST]marisa is surprised to learn that victor knows that marco is still alive . she tells victor that if he does n't keep her safe from marco , she will tell the police all about his plan to bring marco to town . victor cautions marisa that if she tells the police what she knows , there will be no place to hide from him . kevin sees marisa talking to victor and tells detective harding that , although he could n't hear what they were saying , it is clear that they share a secret . when harding brings marisa in to the station , she gives him a sketch of marco , but it is actually the captain of the ship that exploded .</s> | 17,729 |

luke : excuse me . did you just say that what happened last night can never happen again ? anna : you heard what tracy said . she said that she thinks you 're getting back together with her . luke : slim , look -- when tracy declared her feelings for me , i told her the truth -- that i still have feelings for her . but i never said we were getting back together . and now -- i mean , that was before -- last night . [ scene_break ] starr : smile again without you where is yesterday ? where were all those plans we made ? why 'd you have to go so far away ? sleep and dream tonight but you are gone before the light mm ! no , i did n't like the end part of it . can i do it again ? johnny : no , no , i 'm not letting you do it again . starr : please . i 'm not tired , and i have n't felt this good since -- johnny : since the accident . starr : yeah . performing makes me feel really good . johnny : well , that 's good . because pretty soon , you 're gon na be playing sold- out shows . starr : all we have to do is get my father on board . [ scene_break ] heather : just reading about that terrible tragedy . though , when you think about it , it 's not that tragic at all . i mean , sam 's baby 's still alive , and we 're the only ones that know about it . so , call me crazy , mr . publisher , but i think that story would make front - page news . todd : you broke in here -- to threaten me ? [ scene_break ] olivia : wait . you found something out about heather ? spinelli : and her husband . olivia : her husband ? no , heather 's not married . spinelli : i 'm aware , but evidently , the state police have a different opinion . [ scene_break ] maxie : do n't just stand there . help me . lulu : why are you cleaning like a madwoman ? maxie : i told you , i put an ad in the paper . i do n't want my potential roommate to think that -- i do n't know -- i 'd give a bad impression . lulu : would n't it just be easier if you had spinelli move back in ? i mean , he has experience putting up with you . maxie : spinelli is the reason that i 'm in this position in the first place . but now that matt 's in prison , i need someone to help share my expenses . lulu : you 're gon na still stay married to him even though he 's in prison ? maxie : look , matt 's my husband , okay ? i have to support him . lulu : is this about supporting matt , or is this about punishing spinelli ? [ scene_break ] michael : sam okay ? kristina : she sent us away . said she needed to be alone . michael : how are you doing ? kristina : i almost lost it back there . i mean , all those months that she carried that baby , and now he 's just gone ? trey : oh , please tell me you got that on camera . [ scene_break ] jason : i did n't think you wanted me at the service . but i wanted to be here for you . i 'm so sorry the baby 's gone . [ scene_break ] todd : if you 've done any research about me at all , it 's not that i have a propensity for violence . it 's just that i 'm really good at it . and it 's kind of what i do if somebody messes with me . heather : there 's no reason to be hostile , mr. manning . this is just business . [ scene_break ] maxie : i do n't know what you 're talking about , okay ? staying married to matt has nothing to do with spinelli . lulu : it does n't . maxie : but that does n't mean i 'm not still furious at him ! i mean , none of this would have been happening if he had n't said that matt was the real killer . lulu : maxie , you do n't think spinelli had a good reason for going back on his word ? maxie : no , i do n't . lulu : you were in prison . you were completely innocent . i think spinelli was trying to prevent you from throwing your life away . maxie : by throwing matt 's life away ? lulu : matt 's the one who actually killed lisa ! he needed to appear in court and enter a plea , which he did . maxie : wait . i - i 'm sorry . when did you become miss law and order ? and do n't try to blame it on dante or your job in the evidence room . you 're luke spencer 's daughter , and there 's no way you would n't lie in court to protect someone you love . lulu : maxie , that 's the point . spinelli told the truth to protect someone that he loves , and i think , deep down , you still love him , too . maxie : you know what ? instead of worrying about my marriage , why do n't you worry about your own ? lulu : my marriage is fine . maxie : yeah ! for now . but do n't even try to tell me that you 're not a little bit worried about spending all those late hours at the haunted star . and do you really think that dante would be okay with you spending night after night with johnny ? [ scene_break ] johnny : so , what 's the matter ? your dad does n't like music ? starr : he does n't really have an opinion . johnny : does n't want you working here ? starr : he has n't seen the location . i do n't even think he 's been inside . johnny : ah . he does n't want you working with me . starr : ding , ding . johnny : yeah . i met the guy . he seems to be pretty protective over you . starr : that 's an understatement . johnny : something i need to be worried about ? starr : no , i think we should be good . my dad only goes after people that actually hurt me . like when he tried to kill sonny because he thought that he was the reason i lost cole and hope . [ scene_break ] todd : any business i have with you is done . you get the hell out of here . the next time you come to this door , you knock . heather : i apologize , mr. manning . i just thought that after that time we spent in the potting shed that your visitor 's policy would be , well , a little more casual . and as i mentioned , it 's a professional visit . todd : oh , really ? okay . what ? heather : well , i heard you bought the port charles press and renamed it the sun . todd : no problem . call somebody in my office . be more than happy to send you a free subscription . heather : oh , no . i want more than that . todd : no way . get out . heather : mr. manning , you seem very impressed with yourself , but you know what they say -- the bigger they are , the harder they fall . and i think you could fall very hard , indeed , if poor , grieving samantha were to find out that that baby she just buried is n't really hers at all . [ scene_break ] sam : he 's buried next to my daughter . it was winter then , remember ? now there 's a bunch of flowers everywhere . molly said she thought it was peaceful , but -- i did n't feel the peace . jason : where are your mom and sisters ? sam : i told them to go . i thought i wanted to be alone . jason : do you ? [ scene_break ] michael : kristina , do you know this jackass ? trey : what are you doing out here by yourself ? where are my camera guys , my crew ? kristina : i told them to go shoot b - roll . michael , this is my producer , trey . trey , this is my brother michael . michael : right . dad told me all about this `` mob princess `` show . that 's your idea ? trey : yeah , well , actually kristina gets half the credit . by the way , dude , this whole overprotective big - brother vibe , i 'm digging it . this is gon na be really , really good for the show . michael : i 'm not gon na be on your show . trey : oh , but you got to be . come on -- heir to the throne , my man . you grew up in the mob . you bludgeoned your stepmother and was shipped off to prison , for gosh sakes . kristina : trey , ease off a little . trey : mob prince . right ? this is brilliant . this thing practically writes itself . look , i just need you to sign this release , yeah ? michael : that 's not gon na happen . trey : well , hey , um , just promise me you 'll think about it . by the way , i got to go , so , hey , good to meet you . i will see you two later . get him to sign this , please . okay ? we need him . [ scene_break ] olivia : wait . whoa , whoa . why would the state police think that heather is married ? spinelli : whilst looking for clues on route 59 , i met an officer who found heather pulled over on the night in question . evidently , she had ignored a `` road closed `` sign . olivia : why does that not surprise me ? spinelli : yeah . but what the officer found curious was not heather herself but her companion . olivia : what companion ? spinelli : a white - haired older gentleman who was passed out cold , and heather said he was inebriated and that he was her husband . olivia : but that does n't make any sense . spinelli : could she have married in secret ? olivia : oh , spinelli . no , i mean , i doubt it . although she did tell steve and i that she was looking for a new relationship . spinelli : perhaps she found it . olivia : i thought steve convinced her to look for a job first . i swear , with that woman , anything is possible . [ scene_break ] todd : tell you what -- why do n't you call the cops . better yet , you can call them -- from my phone . go ahead . here . 9 - 1 -- wait a minute . you ca n't tell anybody that i switched the babies , because if you do , i 'll tell the whole world how you killed a guy and pushed him around in a wheelbarrow . heather : i told you , i did n't kill anthony zacchara . i simply did a favor for someone i love . [ scene_break ] luke : look , when you moved in here with me , i really liked the novelty of having a roommate -- a beautiful , female roommate . anna : thank you . yeah , you gave me a place to stay when i was at a really low place . but i do n't think that we should read any more into it . do you ? luke : now , look . just hang on a second . whatever this is -- this -- whatever it is between us , it 's not about compassion and friendship . and it sure as hell ai n't about an occasional roll in the hay . i mean , this is -- something . anna : what does that even mean ? luke : i do n't know . i -- i 'm confused . i did n't plan on this . anna : plan on what ? luke : my feelings for you . [ scene_break ] heather : i 'd think twice before turning me in , mr. manning . you got a whole lot more to lose than i do . todd : i was n't the one hauling around a dead body in the middle of the night . heather : i would n't expect someone as selfish as you to understand . todd : selfish ? i 'm -- i 'm selfish ? heather : yeah , you could n't shut up about killing your brother and making téa a widow and saving her son and on and -- todd : okay . i was upset . i was traumatized . and you took advantage of me . you manipulated me . i would n't have done any of this if you had n't convinced me that sam did not want that baby . heather : did i say that ? [ scene_break ] jason : i usually do n't think about things that did n't happen or wonder if something could have been different , but now -- just i ca n't stop . sam : i know . it hurts , does n't it ? jason : just i wonder what -- what would happen if i figured everything out sooner or if i did n't send those men after mcbain or if when i showed up at the hotel , you were just -- [ breathes deeply ] you were just there waiting for me . i mean , everything could have been so different . sam : i know . i keep doing it , too , jason . i keep doing it . i keep going in my head about all the `` what ifs . `` what if i had n't gone to that hospital in new york ? what if i had never asked about heather webber ? or did n't want to know about you and franco ? none of this would have ever happened . jason : yeah , but , still , i -- sam : but still what , jason ? i mean , really , what good did it do ? if we did n't know the truth -- then the baby would still be ours . he would still be alive . [ scene_break ] todd : my ex - wife was sitting on a rocking chair on a porch , bonding with a child that was not hers . what was i supposed to do -- just walk out there and break her heart , get her to hate me more than she already did ? and you -- you dangled the baby switch right in front of my face . heather : let me get this straight . somehow , your moral lapse is my fault ? todd : you told me that sam was estranged from her husband because he was not the baby 's father . heather : i believe my exact words were , `` he was n't interested in a baby that was n't his . `` todd : oh . what 's the difference ? heather : such a beautiful , innocent baby boy . you 'll have a much better life in pennsylvania than you would here . what , with these parents ? `` mother -- samantha morgan . father -- jason morgan . `` no difference at all , i suppose . [ scene_break ] johnny : well , my family is -- was big on revenge , so who can blame your dad for wanting to go after whoever hurt you , right ? starr : i think you need to understand just how protective my fa -- no , sorry -- just how fanatically overprotective my father can be . johnny : mm . well , look at it this way -- you got someone who loves you . starr : well , sometimes i forget that , like when i have to do damage control . johnny : damage control . starr : my dad can be impulsive . he acts first and thinks later , and sometimes , that gets him into trouble , and i have to look out for him . johnny : gotcha . so it 's a whole role - reversal thing going on , right ? child parenting the parent ? starr : well , it 's more like my dad does n't really have a sense for what 's right or wrong . he does n't have any sense at all . he just does whatever he thinks is right for him and his family at the moment . he does n't care who gets hurt . so that 's when i have to -- guide him -- i guess . except for when i thought that -- that sonny killed cole and hope . i was just as crazy as he was . johnny : who can blame you , right ? starr : well , now that we know that someone else shot out his tires , neither of us want to get revenge , and my dad has new things to focus on . johnny : yeah . starr : yeah . johnny : so i just read . [ chuckles ] starr : yeah , he 's trying the whole putting - down - roots thing . he even asked me to move in with him . johnny : ooh . hey , that 's every girl 's dream , right ? next to owning her own pony . starr : pony ? i 'm more partial to reptiles . but -- i love my dad . i just -- do n't want to live with him . [ scene_break ] lulu : this is business , and i have no other feelings for johnny , and dante knows that . maxie : but if you want my opinion -- lulu : well , you 're gon na give it to me anyway . maxie : lulu , what you and johnny had was real , okay ? i witnessed it firsthand . you 're not indifferent to him , and i seriously doubt he 's indifferent to you . so no matter how much you love dante , attraction plus proximity leads to something that you never thought could happen . lulu : mm . okay . well , nothing is gon na happen between me and johnny except a successful club , assuming i can ever actually get over there to pick up the new floor plans . [ scene_break ] trey : so , you want to shack up ? [ scene_break ] michael : what 's going on with you ? kristina : what are you talking about ? michael : your producer buddy trey . why would you want anything to do with that guy ? kristina : i know he seems insensitive . michael : ins -- trying to profit off the death of sam 's baby 's a little more than insensitive . kristina : he 's not trying to be a jerk . he 's just ambitious . michael : he exploits people , kristina . kristina : the show is n't exploiting anyone . here , just sign the release . it 'll be fun . michael : how many times have you done this ? kristina : be the star of my own reality show ? this is a first . michael : no , do something stupid to get back at dad . kristina : stupid ? michael : stupid , crazy , self - destructive , all the above . look , you 're not thinking any further than the fact that this whole reality show is gon na piss dad off . kristina : i just want to expose both my parents for the hypocrites that they are . letting me think that i got into yale on my own merit when really dad just paid someone off or threatened them ? michael : dad has never been to college . he has no idea how this whole mysterious process that yale goes through that got you on the waiting list . all he cares about , all he knows , is that you are smart and that you want to go to that school . that 's it . kristina : dad humiliated me , and they got my mom in on it , too . they lied right to my face . michael : okay . so , what ? you 're gon na punish them on national television ? kristina : no , i 'm taking control of my life . i 'm telling my side of the story . maybe become my very own brand . michael : is that what trey told you ? kristina : trey 's a visionary , and he listens to me , something that neither of my parents do because they think i ca n't make a single decision for myself . michael : they think you 're too impulsive , okay ? and i 'm sorry to say you 're proving them right . kristina : you 're being just like them . you 're not listening . trey actually cares what i think . michael : okay . okay , i get what this whole thing is about . you like this guy , do n't you . [ scene_break ] heather : what i said , what you said -- none of it matters . come on , that rainy day in the woods , that 's long gone . why focus on the past ? let 's focus on the future . todd : could n't agree more . tell you what -- i 'll focus on my future , and you can focus on your future . heather : that 's what i came to talk to you about . i 'm ready to move on and move up -- to start a new life with my new man . [ scene_break ] anna : you 're a lovely guy -- but you have spent the better part of your life on the wrong side of the law . luke : `` wrong `` is relative . anna : yeah , you have a point . luke : i mean , come on -- did n't you dabble on the shady side back in the day ? i seem to recall that you were a fantastic jewelry fence . anna : [ laughing ] oh , right . yes , and before that , i was married to robert . do you really want to be involved with your best friend 's ex ? luke : you told me that that was over a long time ago . anna : yeah . but we share a bond over robin . and we share a loss . not that he really took that into consideration when he ran off after ethan . luke : that was my fault . anna : no , it was n't . all you did was tell him . he 's the one that left me alone at the funeral . luke : robert was in a very bad way , slim . he needed something positive to focus on , some reason to go on . anna : all right . okay , so he did . and what if him finding out about you and me -- assuming that there is a you and me -- puts him back in that bad place ? luke : w - what if it does ? is that any reason not to pursue this ? are you still in love with him ? [ scene_break ] todd : congratulations on your impending nuptials . you know what ? why do n't we call room service ? why do n't we send up a nice bottle of champagne . heather : that wo n't be necessary , mr. manning . i mean , you 're already doing so much . todd : i am ? what exactly is it that i 'm doing ? heather : well , you 're making it all possible . how could i start a new life with a new man without a new job ? that 's where you come in . [ scene_break ] kristina : you think i 'm doing this show because i like trey ? michael : kristina , i 'm your brother , okay ? i know all the signs . you like this guy , and the fact that dad probably hated him on sight makes him irresistible to you . kristina : nothing 's happening between me and trey . at least not yet . michael : but you want it to . kristina : okay , i 'm attracted to him . how can i not be ? but it does n't matter anyway . trey wants to keep things strictly professional . michael : he does ? kristina : for now , at least . and i totally respect that , and -- so let 's stop talking about it and focus on how you 're gon na help me support my vision and make my dreams come true by signing the release . michael : like trey wants ? [ scene_break ] trey : you must be maxie . it 's nice to meet you . lulu : actually , i 'm lulu . that 's maxie . maxie : well , hey , it 's nice to meet you , too . [ both chuckle ] lulu : do n't get too excited . she 's married . maxie : hey , do n't pay attention to her . come on in . trey : so -- so then if i do take the place , i 'll be living with you -- you and your husband ? maxie : oh , do n't worry . that was lulu 's pathetic attempt at a joke , so -- trey : oh , then you 're not married . maxie : i 'm married , but my husband is -- at a government residence . trey : military ? maxie : not exactly . trey : cia , foreign service ? maxie : prison . trey : oh . sorry . maxie : yeah , it 's a long , complicated story . so , uh , what do you think about the place ? trey : it 's perfect . yeah . [ knock on door ] starr : excuse me . is this the apartment with the room for rent ? it 's perfect . [ scene_break ] spinelli : if heather wanted a husband , perhaps she found one . she does n't seem like the type to take no for an answer . olivia : yeah , but you 'd be taking your life into your own hands . spinelli : uh , do you know of any possible paramours ? olivia : while she was in ferncliff ? i guess that 's anybody 's guess . and before that , of course , there was steve 's father , jeff webber . i mean , they have a lot of history , which mostly consisted of heather fixating on him . spinelli : what about edward quartermaine ? olivia : yeah , he filed a restraining order against her the minute she was released from ferncliff . spinelli : okay . well , that limits our options . olivia : to luke spencer . [ scene_break ] anna : i most certainly am not still in love with robert . i have n't been for a long time . but that does n't stop me from caring about him . and if we were to -- you know , pursue this , i think it would be very complicated . luke : okay . all right , slim . what 's going on here , really ? are you trying to just let me down easy ? anna : no , i 'm just trying to be practical and realistic . just because you want something , or someone , i mean , it does n't mean that you should have them , does it ? luke : you know , i 'm a big boy . been around . whatever you got to say , i can take . this is incredibly complicated right now . anna : mm . luke : and where it could go , who knows ? but i believe that it could go somewhere . if you want to stop it before it goes anywhere , now 's the time to say so . [ scene_break ] todd : you work ? heather : i brought you a copy of my résumé . todd : uh , i - i 'm not so sure that you -- heather : i 'm perfectly suited to journalism . okay , maybe not according to olivia . todd : olivia ? heather : my son 's inconvenient girlfriend . she has n't been very supportive of me since i 've been released . todd : released ? heather : but once i get a job at the sun , i wo n't need olivia 's approval because i 'll have freedom and stature and -- i 'll be able to start a new life with the man i love . todd : this man that you love -- he would n't happen to be the same guy who offed anthony zacchara , would he ? ah . you want stature and freedom and to live happily ever after with a murderer . heather : well , it was n't his fault . his ex - wife made him do it . besides , who are you to judge ? you killed your own brother . and look what you did to poor sam . [ scene_break ] jason : sam , i know words do n't fix anything . but i truly mean them . so i 'm so sorry . sam : i did n't know if i should come to the funeral today . i just did n't know if i could handle it , you know ? and then i just kept thinking about all the people who loved my son , and they wanted to honor him , and that was -- he deserves it . and molly read this poem . jason : yeah ? sam : yeah , it 's called `` do not stand at my grave and weep , `` and i 'm just gon na -- i 'm gon na read you the end of it , okay ? `` when you awaken in the morning hush , i am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds in circling flight . i am the soft stars that shine at night . do not stand at my grave and cry .

[ scene_break ] starr : smile again without you where is yesterday ? where were all those plans we made ? why 'd you have to go so far away ? sleep and dream tonight but you are gone before the light mm ! no , i did n't like the end part of it . can i do it again ? johnny : no , no , i 'm not letting you do it again . starr : please . i 'm not tired , and i have n't felt this good since -- johnny : since the accident . starr : yeah . performing makes me feel really good . johnny : well , that 's good . because pretty soon , you 're gon na be playing sold- out shows . starr : all we have to do is get my father on board . [ scene_break ] heather : just reading about that terrible tragedy . though , when you think about it , it 's not that tragic at all . i mean , sam 's baby 's still alive , and we 're the only ones that know about it . so , call me crazy , mr . publisher , but i think that story would make front - page news . todd : you broke in here -- to threaten me ? [ scene_break ] olivia : wait . you found something out about heather ? spinelli : and her husband . olivia : her husband ? no , heather 's not married . spinelli : i 'm aware , but evidently , the state police have a different opinion .

[ scene_break ] michael : sam okay ? kristina : she sent us away . said she needed to be alone . michael : how are you doing ? kristina : i almost lost it back there . i mean , all those months that she carried that baby , and now he 's just gone ? trey : oh , please tell me you got that on camera . [ scene_break ] jason : i did n't think you wanted me at the service . but i wanted to be here for you . i 'm so sorry the baby 's gone . [ scene_break ] todd : if you 've done any research about me at all , it 's not that i have a propensity for violence . it 's just that i 'm really good at it . and it 's kind of what i do if somebody messes with me . heather : there 's no reason to be hostile , mr. manning . this is just business . [ scene_break ] maxie : i do n't know what you 're talking about , okay ? staying married to matt has nothing to do with spinelli . lulu : it does n't . maxie : but that does n't mean i 'm not still furious at him ! i mean , none of this would have been happening if he had n't said that matt was the real killer . lulu : maxie , you do n't think spinelli had a good reason for going back on his word ? maxie : no , i do n't . lulu : you were in prison . you were completely innocent . i think spinelli was trying to prevent you from throwing your life away . maxie : by throwing matt 's life away ? lulu : matt 's the one who actually killed lisa ! he needed to appear in court and enter a plea , which he did . maxie : wait . i - i 'm sorry . when did you become miss law and order ? and do n't try to blame it on dante or your job in the evidence room . you 're luke spencer 's daughter , and there 's no way you would n't lie in court to protect someone you love . lulu : maxie , that 's the point . spinelli told the truth to protect someone that he loves , and i think , deep down , you still love him , too . maxie : you know what ? instead of worrying about my marriage , why do n't you worry about your own ? lulu : my marriage is fine . maxie : yeah ! for now . but do n't even try to tell me that you 're not a little bit worried about spending all those late hours at the haunted star . and do you really think that dante would be okay with you spending night after night with johnny ? [ scene_break ] johnny : so , what 's the matter ? your dad does n't like music ? starr : he does n't really have an opinion . johnny : does n't want you working here ? starr : he has n't seen the location . i do n't even think he 's been inside . johnny : ah . he does n't want you working with me . starr : ding , ding . johnny : yeah . i met the guy . he seems to be pretty protective over you . starr : that 's an understatement . johnny : something i need to be worried about ? starr : no , i think we should be good . my dad only goes after people that actually hurt me . like when he tried to kill sonny because he thought that he was the reason i lost cole and hope . [ scene_break ] todd : any business i have with you is done . you get the hell out of here . the next time you come to this door , you knock . heather : i apologize , mr. manning . i just thought that after that time we spent in the potting shed that your visitor 's policy would be , well , a little more casual . and as i mentioned , it 's a professional visit . todd : oh , really ? okay . what ? heather : well , i heard you bought the port charles press and renamed it the sun . todd : no problem . call somebody in my office . be more than happy to send you a free subscription . heather : oh , no . i want more than that . todd : no way . get out . heather : mr. manning , you seem very impressed with yourself , but you know what they say -- the bigger they are , the harder they fall . and i think you could fall very hard , indeed , if poor , grieving samantha were to find out that that baby she just buried is n't really hers at all . [ scene_break ] sam : he 's buried next to my daughter . it was winter then , remember ? now there 's a bunch of flowers everywhere . molly said she thought it was peaceful , but -- i did n't feel the peace . jason : where are your mom and sisters ? sam : i told them to go . i thought i wanted to be alone . jason : do you ? [ scene_break ] michael : kristina , do you know this jackass ? trey : what are you doing out here by yourself ? where are my camera guys , my crew ? kristina : i told them to go shoot b - roll . michael , this is my producer , trey . trey , this is my brother michael . michael : right . dad told me all about this `` mob princess `` show . that 's your idea ? trey : yeah , well , actually kristina gets half the credit . by the way , dude , this whole overprotective big - brother vibe , i 'm digging it . this is gon na be really , really good for the show . michael : i 'm not gon na be on your show . trey : oh , but you got to be . come on -- heir to the throne , my man . you grew up in the mob . you bludgeoned your stepmother and was shipped off to prison , for gosh sakes . kristina : trey , ease off a little . trey : mob prince . right ? this is brilliant . this thing practically writes itself . look , i just need you to sign this release , yeah ? michael : that 's not gon na happen . trey : well , hey , um , just promise me you 'll think about it . by the way , i got to go , so , hey , good to meet you . i will see you two later . get him to sign this , please . okay ? we need him . [ scene_break ] olivia : wait . whoa , whoa . why would the state police think that heather is married ? spinelli : whilst looking for clues on route 59 , i met an officer who found heather pulled over on the night in question . evidently , she had ignored a `` road closed `` sign . olivia : why does that not surprise me ? spinelli : yeah . but what the officer found curious was not heather herself but her companion . olivia : what companion ? spinelli : a white - haired older gentleman who was passed out cold , and heather said he was inebriated and that he was her husband . olivia : but that does n't make any sense . spinelli : could she have married in secret ? olivia : oh , spinelli . no , i mean , i doubt it . although she did tell steve and i that she was looking for a new relationship . spinelli : perhaps she found it . olivia : i thought steve convinced her to look for a job first . i swear , with that woman , anything is possible . [ scene_break ] todd : tell you what -- why do n't you call the cops . better yet , you can call them -- from my phone . go ahead . here . 9 - 1 -- wait a minute . you ca n't tell anybody that i switched the babies , because if you do , i 'll tell the whole world how you killed a guy and pushed him around in a wheelbarrow . heather : i told you , i did n't kill anthony zacchara . i simply did a favor for someone i love . [ scene_break ] luke : look , when you moved in here with me , i really liked the novelty of having a roommate -- a beautiful , female roommate . anna : thank you . yeah , you gave me a place to stay when i was at a really low place . but i do n't think that we should read any more into it . do you ? luke : now , look . just hang on a second . whatever this is -- this -- whatever it is between us , it 's not about compassion and friendship . and it sure as hell ai n't about an occasional roll in the hay . i mean , this is -- something . anna : what does that even mean ? luke : i do n't know . i -- i 'm confused . i did n't plan on this . anna : plan on what ? luke : my feelings for you . [ scene_break ] heather : i 'd think twice before turning me in , mr. manning . you got a whole lot more to lose than i do . todd : i was n't the one hauling around a dead body in the middle of the night . heather : i would n't expect someone as selfish as you to understand . todd : selfish ? i 'm -- i 'm selfish ? heather : yeah , you could n't shut up about killing your brother and making téa a widow and saving her son and on and -- todd : okay . i was upset . i was traumatized . and you took advantage of me . you manipulated me . i would n't have done any of this if you had n't convinced me that sam did not want that baby . heather : did i say that ? [ scene_break ] jason : i usually do n't think about things that did n't happen or wonder if something could have been different , but now -- just i ca n't stop . sam : i know . it hurts , does n't it ? jason : just i wonder what -- what would happen if i figured everything out sooner or if i did n't send those men after mcbain or if when i showed up at the hotel , you were just -- [ breathes deeply ] you were just there waiting for me . i mean , everything could have been so different . sam : i know . i keep doing it , too , jason . i keep doing it . i keep going in my head about all the `` what ifs . `` what if i had n't gone to that hospital in new york ? what if i had never asked about heather webber ? or did n't want to know about you and franco ? none of this would have ever happened . jason : yeah , but , still , i -- sam : but still what , jason ? i mean , really , what good did it do ? if we did n't know the truth -- then the baby would still be ours . he would still be alive . [ scene_break ] todd : my ex - wife was sitting on a rocking chair on a porch , bonding with a child that was not hers . what was i supposed to do -- just walk out there and break her heart , get her to hate me more than she already did ? and you -- you dangled the baby switch right in front of my face . heather : let me get this straight . somehow , your moral lapse is my fault ? todd : you told me that sam was estranged from her husband because he was not the baby 's father . heather : i believe my exact words were , `` he was n't interested in a baby that was n't his . `` todd : oh . what 's the difference ? heather : such a beautiful , innocent baby boy . you 'll have a much better life in pennsylvania than you would here . what , with these parents ? `` mother -- samantha morgan . father -- jason morgan . `` no difference at all , i suppose . [ scene_break ] johnny : well , my family is -- was big on revenge , so who can blame your dad for wanting to go after whoever hurt you , right ? starr : i think you need to understand just how protective my fa -- no , sorry -- just how fanatically overprotective my father can be . johnny : mm . well , look at it this way -- you got someone who loves you . starr : well , sometimes i forget that , like when i have to do damage control . johnny : damage control . starr : my dad can be impulsive . he acts first and thinks later , and sometimes , that gets him into trouble , and i have to look out for him . johnny : gotcha . so it 's a whole role - reversal thing going on , right ? child parenting the parent ? starr : well , it 's more like my dad does n't really have a sense for what 's right or wrong . he does n't have any sense at all . he just does whatever he thinks is right for him and his family at the moment . he does n't care who gets hurt . so that 's when i have to -- guide him -- i guess . except for when i thought that -- that sonny killed cole and hope . i was just as crazy as he was . johnny : who can blame you , right ? starr : well , now that we know that someone else shot out his tires , neither of us want to get revenge , and my dad has new things to focus on . johnny : yeah . starr : yeah . johnny : so i just read . [ chuckles ] starr : yeah , he 's trying the whole putting - down - roots thing . he even asked me to move in with him . johnny : ooh . hey , that 's every girl 's dream , right ? next to owning her own pony . starr : pony ? i 'm more partial to reptiles . but -- i love my dad . i just -- do n't want to live with him . [ scene_break ] lulu : this is business , and i have no other feelings for johnny , and dante knows that . maxie : but if you want my opinion -- lulu : well , you 're gon na give it to me anyway . maxie : lulu , what you and johnny had was real , okay ? i witnessed it firsthand . you 're not indifferent to him , and i seriously doubt he 's indifferent to you . so no matter how much you love dante , attraction plus proximity leads to something that you never thought could happen . lulu : mm . okay . well , nothing is gon na happen between me and johnny except a successful club , assuming i can ever actually get over there to pick up the new floor plans .

[ scene_break ] heather : what i said , what you said -- none of it matters . come on , that rainy day in the woods , that 's long gone . why focus on the past ? let 's focus on the future . todd : could n't agree more . tell you what -- i 'll focus on my future , and you can focus on your future . heather : that 's what i came to talk to you about . i 'm ready to move on and move up -- to start a new life with my new man . [ scene_break ] anna : you 're a lovely guy -- but you have spent the better part of your life on the wrong side of the law . luke : `` wrong `` is relative . anna : yeah , you have a point . luke : i mean , come on -- did n't you dabble on the shady side back in the day ? i seem to recall that you were a fantastic jewelry fence . anna : [ laughing ] oh , right . yes , and before that , i was married to robert . do you really want to be involved with your best friend 's ex ? luke : you told me that that was over a long time ago . anna : yeah . but we share a bond over robin . and we share a loss . not that he really took that into consideration when he ran off after ethan . luke : that was my fault . anna : no , it was n't . all you did was tell him . he 's the one that left me alone at the funeral . luke : robert was in a very bad way , slim . he needed something positive to focus on , some reason to go on . anna : all right . okay , so he did . and what if him finding out about you and me -- assuming that there is a you and me -- puts him back in that bad place ? luke : w - what if it does ? is that any reason not to pursue this ? are you still in love with him ? [ scene_break ] todd : congratulations on your impending nuptials . you know what ? why do n't we call room service ? why do n't we send up a nice bottle of champagne . heather : that wo n't be necessary , mr. manning . i mean , you 're already doing so much . todd : i am ? what exactly is it that i 'm doing ? heather : well , you 're making it all possible . how could i start a new life with a new man without a new job ? that 's where you come in . [ scene_break ] kristina : you think i 'm doing this show because i like trey ? michael : kristina , i 'm your brother , okay ? i know all the signs . you like this guy , and the fact that dad probably hated him on sight makes him irresistible to you . kristina : nothing 's happening between me and trey . at least not yet . michael : but you want it to . kristina : okay , i 'm attracted to him . how can i not be ? but it does n't matter anyway . trey wants to keep things strictly professional . michael : he does ? kristina : for now , at least . and i totally respect that , and -- so let 's stop talking about it and focus on how you 're gon na help me support my vision and make my dreams come true by signing the release . michael : like trey wants ?

[ scene_break ] spinelli : if heather wanted a husband , perhaps she found one . she does n't seem like the type to take no for an answer . olivia : yeah , but you 'd be taking your life into your own hands . spinelli : uh , do you know of any possible paramours ? olivia : while she was in ferncliff ? i guess that 's anybody 's guess . and before that , of course , there was steve 's father , jeff webber . i mean , they have a lot of history , which mostly consisted of heather fixating on him . spinelli : what about edward quartermaine ? olivia : yeah , he filed a restraining order against her the minute she was released from ferncliff . spinelli : okay . well , that limits our options . olivia : to luke spencer . [ scene_break ] anna : i most certainly am not still in love with robert . i have n't been for a long time . but that does n't stop me from caring about him . and if we were to -- you know , pursue this , i think it would be very complicated . luke : okay . all right , slim . what 's going on here , really ? are you trying to just let me down easy ? anna : no , i 'm just trying to be practical and realistic . just because you want something , or someone , i mean , it does n't mean that you should have them , does it ? luke : you know , i 'm a big boy . been around . whatever you got to say , i can take . this is incredibly complicated right now . anna : mm . luke : and where it could go , who knows ? but i believe that it could go somewhere . if you want to stop it before it goes anywhere , now 's the time to say so . [ scene_break ] todd : you work ? heather : i brought you a copy of my résumé . todd : uh , i - i 'm not so sure that you -- heather : i 'm perfectly suited to journalism . okay , maybe not according to olivia . todd : olivia ? heather : my son 's inconvenient girlfriend . she has n't been very supportive of me since i 've been released . todd : released ? heather : but once i get a job at the sun , i wo n't need olivia 's approval because i 'll have freedom and stature and -- i 'll be able to start a new life with the man i love . todd : this man that you love -- he would n't happen to be the same guy who offed anthony zacchara , would he ? ah . you want stature and freedom and to live happily ever after with a murderer . heather : well , it was n't his fault . his ex - wife made him do it . besides , who are you to judge ? you killed your own brother . and look what you did to poor sam . [ scene_break ] jason : sam , i know words do n't fix anything . but i truly mean them . so i 'm so sorry . sam : i did n't know if i should come to the funeral today . i just did n't know if i could handle it , you know ? and then i just kept thinking about all the people who loved my son , and they wanted to honor him , and that was -- he deserves it . and molly read this poem . jason : yeah ? sam : yeah , it 's called `` do not stand at my grave and weep , `` and i 'm just gon na -- i 'm gon na read you the end of it , okay ? `` when you awaken in the morning hush , i am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds in circling flight . i am the soft stars that shine at night . do not stand at my grave and cry .

[ scene_break ] spinelli : heather has romantic designs on luke spencer ? olivia : according to steve , the last time she was in town , she thought they were going to get married . spinelli : i ca n't imagine . olivia : because it 's a delusion . it 's a symptom of her psychosis . spinelli : which has supposedly been cured . olivia : she is not cured . and she still has a thing for luke . the first thing she did when she got out of ferncliff was go running off to find him . spinelli : i ca n't imagine that luke returns her affection , right ? olivia : uh , no . uh , let 's just say that , whoever this so - called husband was that she was driving around that night , it was not luke . spinelli : okay . but even still , if he is the focus of her attentions , it might be worthwhile to question him .

[ scene_break ] todd : this is why you should never , ever be nice to anyone , ever . 'cause this is what you get . it comes back , and it bites you . as if i could somehow , all of a sudden , be -- be a responsible citizen . like i could make amends for killing that bastard victor by driving my ex - wife , who is angry and hostile and , not to mention , pissed off at me , to the hospital and -- unh ! ow ! ow ! oh -- it 's not my fault , you know ? it 's not -- it 's not my fault there was a storm ! it 's not my fault that there was a cell tower blocking the road ! it 's not my fault that téa 's baby died ! when téa 's baby died , i tried to get her a brand - new baby , and this is what i get for my trouble ? i get -- i get blackmailed . heather : i prefer to think of it as a job interview . todd : okay . if i give you the job , will you leave me alone ? and no more talk about the dead babies . heather : of course . i think we 've more than covered that topic . todd : you 're hired .

he killed his mom ? mcbain : i found alison 's son kneeling over her with the murder weapon in his hand . sam : oh , my god . rafe . mcbain : yeah . how did you know his name ? sam : lucy said that alison had a son named rafe . mcbain : guess he must have been named after his father . mcbain : no , lucy also said that alison 's husband was not rafe 's biological father . mcbain : so who was ? sam : you . anna : look , rafe , i understand . really , i do . this has got to be an unimaginable situation for you . you have to be terrified . but pinning a murder on a law - enforcement officer -- rafe : i am not pinning this on anyone . he did it . anna : maybe things got out of hand between you and your mother . you did n't mean to do what you did . rafe : no , i would never hurt her . i love her . loved her . anna : i 'm trying to help you , rafe . rafe : well , then help me . arrest him . anna : you were found at the crime scene , holding the murder weapon . it was covered in blood . how do you explain that to me ? mcbain : when lucy says that i 'm rafe 's father , i think what she means is -- sam : i think what she means is you 're caleb . lucy : you are not taking this seriously at all . none of us are safe ! none of us ! we are not safe ! nobody is safe ! todd : look , i 'm not a vampire , okay ? so just take it easy . lucy : okay , sorry . it 's just that a lot of people are in very serious danger . heather : what 'd i miss ? sabrina : do n't worry about the money for the nurses ' ball . we will find it somehow . elizabeth : you really think so ? sabrina : i do . where there 's a will , there 's a way . patrick : and when there 's no way , there 's sabrina santiago . elizabeth : [ chuckles ] sabrina : well , i do n't know about that . elizabeth : he 's right . i do n't see you giving up without a fight . and for the record , i 'm right there with you . [ pager beeping ] patrick : me too . i 'm gon na have to take this . elizabeth , thank you so much for trying . elizabeth : yeah , of course . patrick : and , sabrina , we will figure this out , okay ? dr. drake . yes . sabrina : what ? elizabeth : what do you mean `` what ? `` i obviously interrupted something . are you gon na tell me ? sabrina : they broke up . elizabeth : patrick and britt ? sabrina : he totally dumped her ! elizabeth : hallelujah ! [ both laugh ] lulu : maxie told me everything . britt : really ? lulu : that she slept with spinelli against your instructions , and i was really upset at first because it was so soon after implementation , i was afraid it could have affected the baby . britt : i had my concerns , as well . maxie : which we discussed . and that 's what you and dante overheard us talking about . lulu : can i be honest ? britt : yes , please . i mean , is n't that why we 're here ? lulu : you know , i was pretty upset with her , no doubt , but i 'm actually still very upset with you , dr. westbourne . todd : no , no . oh , no ! never again . never again ! never again ! lucy : obviously , she 's a good friend of yours . todd : if you mean somebody that nuked my life , yeah ! she 's , like , my best friend . heather : now , now , todd , `` nuked `` is an awfully strong word . todd : okay , demolished , obliterated , choked till its last gasping breath . you take your pick . heather : hey , i did n't force you to switch those babies . i merely made a suggestion . todd : a suggestion . are you listening to this ? todd : c - can i ask you something ? why are you here ? and by `` here , `` i mean , why are you here among the lowlife , perfectly normal disturbed people ? should n't you be somewhere , locked up in a straightjacket with the stupendously unstable people ? go ! please ! just go get your electric shock on ! heather : good to see you , too , todd . todd : do n't call me that . i do n't like the way she says my name . heather : do n't you think it 's fitting now that we 're both here ? i mean , after all we 've been through -- destiny . todd : no . it 's hell . i 've died and gone to hell . welcome to hell . kevin : i went to visit lucy in ferncliff today . felicia : how 'd it go ? kevin : bad as i expected . kevin : she just wo n't loosen her grip on this vampire fixation . mac : how long have you been dealing with this ? kevin : seems like ages . i mean , that 's the reason we separated in the first place . you know , lucy 's always had a bent for the supernatural . mac : [ chuckles ] madam maya , anyone ? kevin : yeah , i thought it was a harmless eccentricity , but then she became obsessed with this idea that she 's a slayer . when we separated , that seemed to recede for a while . she focused on her cosmetics company , and if she ever mentioned caleb the vampire king , it was because he was vanished , and she was afraid he 'd make a return . mac : do you think the collapse of her company triggered the relapse ? kevin : it 's possible . that and coming back here , bringing up all those old memories , emotions -- when she saw detective mcbain , she projected all of her fears onto him . she transformed him into a physical , tangible manifestation of all of her psychological demons . mac : did you try explaining that to lucy ? kevin : i told her i loved her . and i begged her to believe the vampires are n't real . mac : and , uh -- she did n't back down , huh ? kevin : she 's convinced that all these fantasies are real . felicia : well , maybe they are . sam : according to lucy , caleb had seduced alison , got alison pregnant , she had rafe , and when rafe sr . found out , he was a little bit concerned . mcbain : understandable . sam : no , not out of a jealousy sort of way . he thought that caleb was this vampire , as well , and he posed a threat to alison and her child , so -- he wanted to go after him . mcbain : okay , i 'm guessing that did n't end well . sam : well , it 's the last that anyone has ever heard or seen from alison 's husband . mcbain : right . now we got to figure out what happened today -- if rafe killed his mother and why . anna : rafe , you were holding the murder weapon . it had blood all over it . rafe : i was holding it because i pulled it out . do n't you understand ? i was trying to help her . anna : all right . rafe : after your officer stabbed her . anna : okay . can i get you some water or something ? i want to calm down . i want to -- let 's go back to the beginning . take a seat . so , you live here in port charles ? rafe : no . anna : where were you from ? rafe : we 're from all over the place . my mom and i came here to find someone named lucy coe . anna : lucy ? why ? rafe : my mom said she could help us , that she was the only one . anna : help you with what ? with money or something ? rafe : i do n't know . i -- i 'm not sure . my mom had all these strange ideas , and she believed lucy was the only answer . so she went to find her and told me to stay at the pier . that 's when she gave me that thing . anna : the weapon ? rafe : for protection . anna : protection against what , rafe ? all right . so you stay at the pier . rafe : no . i left . anna : even though your mother asked you to stay ? rafe : i met this girl . t.j. : maybe we should go to the police station and talk to the cops . molly : but i do n't know anything . t.j. : i think you might know more than you think . and it 's not cool to keep quiet about something so huge , molly . molly : okay . yeah , you 're right . i should come forward with any information i have . t.j. : come on . rafe : molly offered to buy me lunch , okay ? she felt bad for me or something . i do n't know . anyway , when we were done , i left the diner , went to the pier -- and that 's when i saw it . anna : what did you see ? alison : no ! [ laughing ] alison : no ! get off ! get off me ! rafe : mom ! alison : no , rafe ! no , please stay back there ! do n't ! no ! aah ! shh . alison : oh ! rafe : he killed her . he killed my mother . elizabeth : did patrick actually witness britt being britt ? sabrina : she was laying into me about making her look bad , right ? elizabeth : as if she needs you for that . sabrina : yeah , well , she said something like , `` i 'm gon na tell you what i told that little brat emma . i 'm gon na be in patrick 's life , and there 's nothing you can do about it `` -- you know , something like that . elizabeth : and he heard everything ? so there was no way she could get out of it ? sabrina : mnh - mnh . he said that they were over and that he could n't be with someone who did n't care for his child . elizabeth : oh , i am so glad that woman is out of their lives . sabrina : but she did not go down quietly . elizabeth : what do you mean ? sabrina : westbourne told patrick that i want him for myself . lulu : i understand that maxie is your patient , so anything that she tells you is confidential . i really get that . but i am your patient , too . and most importantly , so is my baby . so if something were to happen that could even remotely affect our child , dante and i have a right to know . britt : i completely agree . mac : felicia , vampires with fangs who combust when you put a stake in their heart ? come on . felicia : i know that the premise is outrageous , but lucy believes it to be real . mac , you saw her at the arraignment when detective mcbain walked in . kevin : i realize it 's not detective mcbain 's fault that lucy projected her delusions onto him , but why would he think it was a good idea to show up at her arraignment ? mac : well , he was there for another case . i mean , i do n't even think he knew lucy was in the courtroom . but when lucy saw him , she went berserk . it 's the only way to describe it . attacked him in front of a room full of witnesses . felicia : she was terrified . i could see it . i could feel it . i just do n't understand how something so real could be all in her head . heather : where do you think you 're going ? todd : oh , i 'm going to prison -- that 's where i 'm going -- thanks to you . and i got to say , honestly , it 's starting to be really appealing to me , given the alternative . lucy : you really , really do n't like her . todd : yeah , i really , really do n't like her . heather : todd 's just overreacting . we used to be a great team . todd : no , we were not ever anything , and we never will be . i do n't want anything to do with you . heather : suit yourself . but do n't go crying when you missed out . todd : on what ? heather : my plan . todd : right . 'cause your plans have worked out so well in the past . heather : you want to hear about it . i know you do . todd : no , i do n't . heather : yes , you do . todd : no , i do n't . i do n't . i do n't . not now , not ever . ever . heather : okay , then . i guess it 's just you and me . lucy : uh , no . no . you know , actually , you can count me out on that , too . i do n't think i ever want to be ever , ever involved with you , either , especially after what you did to edward . heather : but i loved edward . lucy : you loved his money . you married him for his money . heather : oh , will you get over it ? come on . he and lila are reunited in the next world , and we should start focusing on this one -- you know , the one that 's in imminent danger from those vampires . lucy : oh , okay , fine . i 'll bite . what does your plan have to do with that ? heather : well , you said you want to stop the evil forces ? i can help you do that . lucy : from in here . heather : no . from out there . sam : what 're you guys doing here ? hi ! i thought you would be in bed by now . molly : um , we got a little sidetracked . we heard a woman was killed on the pier . the police said her son did it . sam : well , that 's the theory . why ? molly : i think i know him . sam : how ? molly : is his name rafe ? mcbain : yes . his name is rafe . molly : ca n't believe this is happening . detective . mcbain : yeah . here you go . mcbain : thank you . molly : oh , my god . mcbain : what ? you 've seen this before ? molly : rafe had it . anna : so , this man that you say is detective mcbain , he struggled with your mother , and he grabs the weapon , and stabs her . rafe : yes . anna : what happened next ? rafe : she went down . she was really hurt . blood was everywhere , and -- i did n't know what to do , and the thing was still in her , so i -- pulled it out . anna : and the man , the murderer ? i do n't know . i was too focused on my mom . mom ! hold on . just hold on , okay ? i 'm & -- i 'm gon na get you help . alison : no , it 's too late , rafe . rafe : no , mom ! mom , you ca n't die ! alison : you got to save yourself , okay , rafe ? i love you so much . rafe : i love you , too . just & -- somebody help me ! no ! no ! alison : [ & gasps ; & ] anna : then what ? rafe : i just sat there , numb . when i finally looked up , i saw the man who stabbed her . only then , he was -- he was holding a gun . mcbain : police -- put the weapon down . step away from the body . anna : why did n't you defend yourself , rafe ? rafe : my mom was dead . i was looking at the man who stabbed her . i was scared . look , i swear to god , that 's exactly what happened . say you believe me . britt : all my patients deserve full disclosure . you and dante are no exception . lulu : thank you . britt : i apologize , lulu , if you felt like you were out of the loop . lulu : i realize that surrogacy is n't the most typical thing . britt : well , it wo n't happen again . lulu : that 's all i needed to hear . britt : and so we are all on the same page . the fetus maxie is carrying appears to be 100 % healthy . lulu : that is all i needed to hear . yay ! maxie : yay ! [ cell phone beeps ] lulu : there 's a crisis at the haunted star . i wanted to be here for your appointment but -- maxie : go , it 's okay . i 'll be fine . just go . lulu : you 'll let me know how the exam goes ? britt : absolutely . lulu : okay . i 'll call you . maxie : okay . lulu : thanks . maxie : so much for doctor - patient confidentiality . britt : okay , i did n't say anything , did i ? maxie : yeah , but you almost did . why would you tell lulu that i 'm not carrying her baby ? britt : 'cause it 's her fault . maxie : whose ? britt : the simpering little bitch of a nurse , sabrina . maxie : santiago ? emma 's babysitter ? britt : yes . she turned patrick against me , and now i 've lost him . elizabeth : how excited are you ? sabrina : about what ? elizabeth : patrick being done with britt . sabrina : um , hello ? did you not just hear the part about britt outing me ? elizabeth : [ scoffs ] sabrina : thank god patrick thought she was lying . elizabeth : why ? sabrina : i do n't know . because she lied about everything else . elizabeth : no , why the `` thank god `` part ? what 's so bad about patrick knowing how you feel ? sabrina : aside from complete and utter embarrassment ? elizabeth : okay , nothing -- no one is standing in your way . i say you go for it . sabrina : ah ! no . it 's impossible . he 's not interested . elizabeth : only one way to find out . come on . you were strong enough to stand up to britt , right ? and she is way worse than he could ever be . sabrina : true . elizabeth : come on , sabrina ! you can do this . just say the words and see what happens . maxie : so , you were about to implode not only my life , but lulu 's over a guy . i am really sorry patrick dumped you , but there is no reason that you need to take it out on us . britt : it 's gon na come out , maxie . secrets always do . you might as well get it over with now and tell lulu . maxie : i ca n't . britt : well , then i guess it 's on me . maxie : you ca n't tell , dr. westbourne . i 'm your patient , remember ? britt : you just heard what we talked about in here . lulu and dante are my patients , too . i owe it to them to be honest . maxie : no , no , no ! no , no , no , no ! okay . i will do whatever you want . just please keep quiet about this . lucy : yeah , right . you really have a plan to get all of us out of here . heather : yes , i do . lucy : okay . why would you risk it ? i mean , i have to get out of here because lives depend on it . but you ? are n't you better off being here in ferncliff than in prison ? heather : let 's just say i have a little unfinished business . todd : [ scoffs ] hair ball . hair . lucy : hey . whoa . hey . focus , focus . hey , you , here -- with me . okay . what is your plan ? todd : missing piece . heather : i got an idea . why do n't we go back to my room ? heather : you see , the details of my plan are to be disseminated on a need - to- know basis , and some people do n't need to know . todd : [ mocking ] `` some people do n't need to know . `` heather : let 's go . i 'll show you my latest macramé project ! lucy : [ chuckles ] yay . todd : [ giggles mockingly ] have fun macraméing . lucy : oh , shut up . you probably think i 'm making a big , fat mistake . todd : yeah , i think you 're making a big , fat mistake . lucy : well , i ca n't help it . i have no choice . i am the only one that can kill the vampire . todd : well , you better stock up on garlic and wooden stakes , then . lucy : thank you for that tip . look , i just wanted to say something that i am sorry you might go to prison because i get the feeling that maybe that whole baby - switching thing -- well , just maybe your intentions were actually good . todd : wait . heather : yes , todd ? todd : [ sighs ] i 'm in . kevin : i do n't doubt that you saw real terror from lucy . i mean , she really believes that vampires and angels are real . mac : angels ? kevin : oh , did i neglect to mention her cousin , rafe kovich ? he was an angel sent from heaven to battle the forces of darkness on earth . he disappeared years ago . i do n't know . maybe he flew back to heaven . felicia : i 'm sorry , kevin . i can see how much this is hurting you . kevin : i 'm not an easy person , and neither is lucy , but we complemented each other . felicia : yeah . kevin : she was intuitive . i was intellectual . she would operate on instinct , and i would overanalyze . but all the give - and - take , the mutual compromise , it made us better . we were greater than the sum of our flaws . and let 's be honest -- i 'm the one with the questionable mental history . at least until this vampire delusion took hold . felicia : even if lucy is delusional -- no , scratch that . especially if she is , do n't you think you need to be there by her side , now more than ever ? kevin : you 've been talking to alexis . mac : she say the same thing ? kevin : it 's what convinced me to go out to ferncliff -- that and the fact that lucy is still my wife -- and i love her . mac : then why are you giving up on her so easily ? molly : i was just feeding the ducks with danny , and i -- i ran into rafe at the pier . we started talking . he asked if he could have my stale bread . sam : what ? to eat ? molly : yeah , he was hungry , so i decided to buy him some food at kelly 's . mcbain : did he mention his mother at any time ? molly : said they 'd traveled a lot . mcbain : traveled a lot . did -- did he say anything that would suggest that he wanted to hurt her ? molly : no . not really . t.j. : you have to tell them everything , molly . mcbain : anything rafe said about his mother would help us . molly : he did say one thing . mcbain : what 's that ? molly : well -- rafe said that sometimes he wishes he could be free of his mom . rafe : i did not kill my mother . why would i do that ? anna : that 's what we 're trying to figure out . rafe : you want answers ? ask him . tell her what you did . mcbain : what now ? anna : rafe thinks that you killed his mother . mcbain : hey , kid , i do n't know what you think you saw out there -- rafe : just admit it , you bastard ! mcbain : admit what ? rafe : my mom was right the whole time . she said someone was after us . and it was you ! it was you ! anna : hey ! hey ! stop ! molly : i know how it sounds , but i really do n't think rafe meant he wanted to hurt his mom . t.j. : come on . they -- molly : no , he 's just tired of being dragged around all the time . t.j. : they found the guy with the murder weapon , molly . molly : but that 's not proof of anything . maybe he was in shock and picked it up without thinking , or maybe he was even trying to help her . t.j. : why are you so bent on defending him ? molly : why are you attacking him ? sam : look , i think what t.j. 's trying to say is that we do n't know anything about rafe . t.j. : yeah . i mean , it 's kind of tough , considering you just met him 2 seconds ago . molly : you 're right . i do n't know that he 's innocent . but you also do n't know that he 's guilty . we do n't know what happened on that pier . we have n't heard the whole story . rafe : molly . molly , i did n't do it . anna : i 'm taking him to booking . mcbain : want me to go with you ? anna : no , no , you stay here . where 's caruso ? rafe : i swear i did n't do it , molly . anna : come on . felicia : this is lucy we 're talking about . kevin : i 'm aware . felicia : your lucy . the two of you belong together . kevin : i used to believe that , felicia . i did . but -- things change . felicia : well , yeah , of course they change . life throws us all kinds of curve balls . but , you know , love is love . and it defies all odds . it perseveres through anything . kevin : well , that 's how it 's worked out for you and mac , and i commend you both for it . felicia : mac and i have been apart a lot , and that 's my fault . but i know -- well , i 've always known that , deep down , if i really needed him and i got into trouble , he would be there for me . mac : i would . i would . just like i know felicia would show up for me . kevin : and i 'm happy for both of you . but this situation is a little different , do n't you think ? you do n't have a vampire between you . mac : we had frisco . does that count ? felicia : [ chuckles ] the point is , is that we got past it . i put frisco behind me . and lucy can put her vampire behind her . you just have to stick by her . heather : but i thought you wanted nothing to do with me ever again . todd : i do n't even like breathing because i know that sometimes , maybe , you breath . heather : stop with the sweet talk . i ca n't take it . todd : but i 'm not going back to prison . so -- count me in on your little plan to get out of here . lucy : wait a minute . did n't you just mention that all her plans are doomed ? todd : no , i did n't -- i -- lucy : no , you did . you strongly implied it . you strongly implied it . todd : no , what i said was she 's a complete lunatic , but she 's managed to break out of this snake pit twice . heather : that you know of . todd : so what 's the word ? heather : okay . you can come . just remember that i 'm the boss of this operation . got it ? lucy : okay . i got it . todd : all right . heather : i 'm sorry . what did you say ? todd : i said `` unh huh huh unh . `` heather : all right , listen up . i 've made it my business to befriend the most influential people in the staff at this place . i 'm talking about the attendants , the nurses , the cooks , the janitors . todd : janitors are influential . heather : i 've convinced them that they are overworked and they are underpaid . and they believe me . and i 've told them that their only hope is to stand together as a united force , so that 's what they 're gon na do . i 've started a revolution . you know , like those restaurant people in the fast - food place in new york ? todd : okay , che guevara , where does this action take us ? what does it get us ? heather : there 's gon na be a massive walkout tonight . lucy : whoa , whoa , whoa . right here , with all this staff ? heather : yeah . they 're gon na walk out , and we 're gon na walk out right behind them . sabrina : no , i ca n't . elizabeth : why not ? sabrina : because what am i supposed to do ? just walk right up to him and say , `` hey , excuse me , patrick . i 'm sorry for interrupting your phone call , but i just wanted to let you know that i have been madly in love with you from the first moment i laid eyes on you `` ? elizabeth : eh , you might want to dial that down just a notch , but that 's the general idea . come on . all you have to say is , `` dr. westbourne was right . i do have feelings for you . `` sabrina : just like that . elizabeth : just like that . sabrina : and then ? elizabeth : and then see what he says . sabrina : no ! this is crazy . elizabeth : [ sighs ] sabrina : look , just because patrick and dr. westbourne are over does n't mean that he 's gon na magically want me . elizabeth : maybe not . but you 'll never know unless you put yourself out there . maxie : i can help you get patrick back . britt : how ? maxie : i have n't gotten that far yet , but we 're close . i was married to his brother , and -- robin was family . britt : no . forget it . my dreams of riding off into the sunset are trashed , thanks to -- maxie : oh , god . i think you 're getting an idea , and that makes me kind of scared . britt : yeah , on second thought , maybe there is something you can do for me . maxie : no ! no , no , no ! wait , wait , wait ! why did you run out like that ? britt : well , when you did n't respond , i assumed you changed your mind . you know , it 's probably for the best . i can call lulu , and i will make a full disclosure . i 'll explain that you 're having spinelli 's baby and not hers . maxie : no , no ! okay . whatever you want , i 'll do it . i 'm in . britt : glad to hear it . maxie : so , what are we talking about here ? you want a makeover ? britt : [ chuckles ] maxie : not that you need one . um -- some personal shopping , i 'm hoping ? britt : you 're gon na help me destroy sabrina santiago . sabrina : it 's just that i -- i 'm not the type of person to just -- i ca n't tell patrick about my feelings for him , okay ? elizabeth : where is felix when you need him ? sabrina : why ? elizabeth : i do n't know . 'cause he 's really good at pep talk . sabrina : no . thank god felix is not here , because if felix were here , he would march right up and tell patrick about it himself . elizabeth : yes . and maybe that 's exactly what needs to happen . sabrina : no , no ! elizabeth , please , please , please . elizabeth : i 'm kidding , i 'm kidding , i 'm kidding . but , seriously , you need to talk to patrick , and the sooner , the better . patrick : sorry about that . sabrina : no problem . patrick : all right , well , i 'm gon na assume that you filled elizabeth in . elizabeth : sabrina was n't gossiping . i just noticed it was a little tense . patrick : tomorrow afternoon , everybody 's gon na know that britt and i broke up . elizabeth : yeah . sorry about that . patrick : no , do n't say sorry , because you 're not . in fact , this is probably the time where you say that you told me so . elizabeth : actually , sabrina has something to tell you . [ muffled shouting ] heather : follow my lead . mac : so , what do you think kevin 's gon na do about lucy ? felicia : i do n't know . obviously , he loves her so much . mac : well , hopefully that 'll be enough . felicia : well , it was for us . mac : [ chuckles ] felicia : are we lucky or what ? mac : finally , after all this time . nothing to get in our way . felicia : mnh - mnh . mac : i got to go in the stock room . it 's gon na take a while . it 's a mess . felicia : okay . [ door opens , closes ] felicia : oh , i 'm sorry . we 're closed -- frisco ? frisco : [ sighs ] [ indistinct shouting ] heather : it 's now or never . let 's go . are we ready ? todd : no , no ! stop , stop ! wait a second ! can i just be the voice of reason here ? and bear with me , 'cause this is kind of new territory , but this is a labor action , right ? there 's bound to be a lot of cops out there , maybe even your pal john mcbain . lucy : that 's good ! then all the more reason to go ! todd : see ? this is what i mean . someone could see us . we need to be careful . lucy : well , then let 's be careful . todd : oh , great , that 's an awesome idea . i did n't think of that . thanks . heather : enough with the blah - blah - blah . let 's go ! lucy : [ gasps ] sam : this does n't make any sense . mcbain : that kid says he saw me kill his mother . sam : okay . i -- i get it . he 's scared , maybe even guilty . he would say anything to protect himself . i mean , come on . that is one hell of a lie . | patrick asks sabrina what britt meant when she said sabrina wanted patrick to herself . elizabeth comes up just in time and the conversation turns to the nurses ' ball and the elq check being stopped because their assets are frozen . when patrick steps away , sabrina tells elizabeth that he dumped britt . she says britt then told patrick that sabrina wanted him for herself . elizabeth thinks sabrina should go for it . sabrina lacks the confidence . elizabeth tells patrick that sabrina has something to tell him . maxie and lulu walk in on britt having a temper tantrum . britt tells lulu that maxie has been lying to her . she reveals that maxie slept with someone on new year 's eve . lulu already knew about maxie and spinelli . she says she was angry about it , but that she is still angry with dr. westbourne because she has the right to know about anything that affects her baby . britt agrees with her and says she will keep her in the loop . lulu has to leave to go to the haunted star . maxie asks britt why she almost ratted her out . britt says it is sabrina santiago 's fault because she turned patrick against her . britt tells maxie that she needs to tell lulu before they find out another way . maxie says she can help her get patrick back . britt says no , but she can help her destroy sabrina and if she does n't want to , then she can call lulu and tell her that maxie is having spinelli 's baby . | <s>[INST] patrick : elizabeth tried to warn me . both you and emma tried to warn me . sabrina : well , emma 's got really good instincts about people . patrick : she was right about you . so , what 's all this britt accusing you of wanting me for yourself ? i mean , that 's -- that 's crazy , right ? i mean , everybody knows that 's not true . britt : unh ! unh ! maxie : dr. westbourne , i 'm , uh , here to get my blood drawn . lulu : maybe we should come back another time . britt : why ? now 's perfect . there 's something you should know about that baby , lulu . your friend maxie here has been lying to you . lucy : oh , rafe , i sure hope you can hear me because -- i need you to be my angel now and watch over me . i need you to help me . [ chuckles ] you need to help all of us , especially that -- poor innocent boy . todd : let me guess . that poor innocent boy you 're praying for is gon na be eaten by a vampire . sam : i went to ferncliff , i saw lucy coe . she admitted that she knew alison barrington but she has n't seen her in years , but she did say that she was in terrible danger . mcbain : and she was right . anna : you were found kneeling over the body , holding the murder weapon . that is going to look like very damning evidence to a jury . i think you know who killed your mother . you have to tell me what happened so that i can help you . you did n't do it , rafe . who did ? rafe : him . sam : wait a minute . i 'm -- i 'm confused . what 're you -- what 're you talking about ? what do you mean ? mcbain : alison barrington is dead . sam : that 's impossible . she was just right here . are you sure ? what happened ? mcbain : she was murdered on pier 52 . t.j. : wow ! what happened ? officer : some kid killed his mother . t.j. : seriously ? molly : do you know who he was ? anna : i 'm not sure i understand what you 're saying . are you saying that that man , detective john mcbain -- killed your mother ? rafe : yes . anna : why would you even say that ? rafe : because i saw him do it . patrick : i mean , britt 's completely out of line , right ? i mean -- you can back me up on this here . sabrina : i - i , uh -- elizabeth : hey , guys . sabrina : elizabeth , hi ! elizabeth : hi . sabrina : hi . elizabeth : hi . sabrina : any luck on our check from tracy quartermaine ? elizabeth : unfortunately , no . elq 's assets are frozen . patrick : which means our plans for the nurses ' ball are frozen ? elizabeth : i was kind of hoping the three of us could strategize . sabrina : now ? it 's not really a good time for pat -- for dr. drake . sabrina : why ? what happened ? lulu : what is she talking about ? britt : new year 's -- maxie slept with someone . he had a really strange name -- maxie : spinelli ! but lulu knows about that . britt : you do ? lulu : i mean , it was n't the best news in the world -- maxie : but we discussed it , and there 's no reason to dwell on it . britt : and what exactly did maxie tell you ? felicia : what do you think she 's going to look like ? i wonder if her face will fill out like mine did when i was pregnant . mac : guess we 'll find out . felicia : [ laughs ] god . mac : what ? felicia : i remember frisco used to call me an overripe peach . mac : oh , mm . spare me the details , will you ? felicia : oh . are you jealous ? mac : i 'm not jealous . i just do n't need to hear the pet names used to call you -- unoriginal ones , at that . felicia : well , you had nothing to worry about . 'cause you 're the only man in my life . mac : i know . felicia : so should we kiss and make that official ? mac : that 's a really good idea . i 'd like that . felicia : i 'm coming in . official . kevin : would you get a room already ? felicia : oh ! hey ! mac : kevin collins ? ! felicia : oh , my god . how long has it been ? kevin : let 's not count . mac : wow ! it 's great to see you . kevin : great to see you . felicia : so , i have to say , i 'm surprised . alexis said she tried to reach you but you would n't return her calls . kevin : i was weighing my options . i was n't sure involving myself in lucy 's situation was the best idea -- for either one of us . felicia : well , you obviously changed your mind . you want to help lucy , and that 's a good thing , because she really needs you now . lucy : okay , i realize you 're making fun of me . that 's just fine . you do n't believe that there 's a real threat from a very real vampire . but we have something in common . todd : right . besides wanting to impale john mcbain ? lucy : yeah . we both want to get out of ferncliff . hey , you know , it 's not really any of my business , but how 'd that evaluation of yours go ? todd : terrible . they think i 'm sane . lucy : oh , my god . that 's awful . todd : i know , right ? i could n't do anything , not with my daughter boring into me with her honest eyes . it was going right into my conscience , if i had a conscience . if i had a conscience -- pkew ! lucy : right . well , obviously , then you could n't use that d.i.d . thing , that course of action you were thinking of . todd : no , not with little miss whistle - blower at the ready . lucy : starr , right ? starr . what is her deal ? she is so obsessed with not allowing to escape prison by acting crazy . todd : i do n't know . believe me , all this integrity and fixated on doing the right thing and telling the truth -- she did n't get it from . she certainly did n't get it from her mother . lucy : okay . then , uh -- tell me this . what do you think 's gon na happen ? todd : well , i go back to pcpd and have the joy of awaiting trial . lucy : oh . well , hey -- buck up . maybe you can beat those charges . todd : come on . my lawyer 's good . she 's not a miracle - worker . no . without this insanity defense , i 'm screwed . lucy : all right , well , that makes two of us . we 're both screwed , because every minute i am stuck in this place is every minute caleb is out there doing god knows what to the poor people of this town . todd : right . molly : you said it was a kid . did he tell you his name ? officer : never said a word . molly : what happened to him ? officer : they took him to the station . molly : okay . do you know why the officers running the investigation believe he killed his mom ? officer : found him by the victim , murder weapon in his hand . t.j. : what kind of kid offs his own mom ? hey . you okay ? molly : yeah , i just -- t.j. : it 's kind of cold out here . we should get home , get the baby out of the cold . molly : well , i mean , yeah , it 's a horrible story , but -- that guy i was telling you about , rafe ? t.j. : mm - hmm . molly : this is where i met him , and he was coming back here after lunch to meet his mom . t.j. : you mean the guy you felt sorry for so you bought him chili ? the guy who gave you the flower ? he killed his mom ? mcbain : i found alison 's son kneeling over her with the murder weapon in his hand . sam : oh , my god . rafe . mcbain : yeah . how did you know his name ? sam : lucy said that alison had a son named rafe . mcbain : guess he must have been named after his father . mcbain : no , lucy also said that alison 's husband was not rafe 's biological father . mcbain : so who was ? sam : you . anna : look , rafe , i understand . really , i do . this has got to be an unimaginable situation for you . you have to be terrified . but pinning a murder on a law - enforcement officer -- rafe : i am not pinning this on anyone . he did it . anna : maybe things got out of hand between you and your mother . you did n't mean to do what you did . rafe : no , i would never hurt her . i love her . loved her . anna : i 'm trying to help you , rafe . rafe : well , then help me . arrest him . anna : you were found at the crime scene , holding the murder weapon . it was covered in blood . how do you explain that to me ? mcbain : when lucy says that i 'm rafe 's father , i think what she means is -- sam : i think what she means is you 're caleb . lucy : you are not taking this seriously at all . none of us are safe ! none of us ! we are not safe ! nobody is safe ! todd : look , i 'm not a vampire , okay ? so just take it easy . lucy : okay , sorry . it 's just that a lot of people are in very serious danger . heather : what 'd i miss ? sabrina : do n't worry about the money for the nurses ' ball . we will find it somehow . elizabeth : you really think so ? sabrina : i do . where there 's a will , there 's a way . patrick : and when there 's no way , there 's sabrina santiago . elizabeth : [ chuckles ] sabrina : well , i do n't know about that . elizabeth : he 's right . i do n't see you giving up without a fight . and for the record , i 'm right there with you . [ pager beeping ] patrick : me too . i 'm gon na have to take this . elizabeth , thank you so much for trying . elizabeth : yeah , of course . patrick : and , sabrina , we will figure this out , okay ? dr. drake . yes . sabrina : what ? elizabeth : what do you mean `` what ? `` i obviously interrupted something . are you gon na tell me ? sabrina : they broke up . elizabeth : patrick and britt ? sabrina : he totally dumped her ! elizabeth : hallelujah ! [ both laugh ] lulu : maxie told me everything . britt : really ? lulu : that she slept with spinelli against your instructions , and i was really upset at first because it was so soon after implementation , i was afraid it could have affected the baby . britt : i had my concerns , as well . maxie : which we discussed . and that 's what you and dante overheard us talking about . lulu : can i be honest ? britt : yes , please . i mean , is n't that why we 're here ? lulu : you know , i was pretty upset with her , no doubt , but i 'm actually still very upset with you , dr. westbourne . todd : no , no . oh , no ! never again . never again ! never again ! lucy : obviously , she 's a good friend of yours . todd : if you mean somebody that nuked my life , yeah ! she 's , like , my best friend . heather : now , now , todd , `` nuked `` is an awfully strong word . todd : okay , demolished , obliterated , choked till its last gasping breath . you take your pick . heather : hey , i did n't force you to switch those babies . i merely made a suggestion . todd : a suggestion . are you listening to this ? todd : c - can i ask you something ? why are you here ? and by `` here , `` i mean , why are you here among the lowlife , perfectly normal disturbed people ? should n't you be somewhere , locked up in a straightjacket with the stupendously unstable people ? go ! please ! just go get your electric shock on ! heather : good to see you , too , todd . todd : do n't call me that . i do n't like the way she says my name . heather : do n't you think it 's fitting now that we 're both here ? i mean , after all we 've been through -- destiny . todd : no . it 's hell . i 've died and gone to hell . welcome to hell . kevin : i went to visit lucy in ferncliff today . felicia : how 'd it go ? kevin : bad as i expected . kevin : she just wo n't loosen her grip on this vampire fixation . mac : how long have you been dealing with this ? kevin : seems like ages . i mean , that 's the reason we separated in the first place . you know , lucy 's always had a bent for the supernatural . mac : [ chuckles ] madam maya , anyone ? kevin : yeah , i thought it was a harmless eccentricity , but then she became obsessed with this idea that she 's a slayer . when we separated , that seemed to recede for a while . she focused on her cosmetics company , and if she ever mentioned caleb the vampire king , it was because he was vanished , and she was afraid he 'd make a return . mac : do you think the collapse of her company triggered the relapse ? kevin : it 's possible . that and coming back here , bringing up all those old memories , emotions -- when she saw detective mcbain , she projected all of her fears onto him . she transformed him into a physical , tangible manifestation of all of her psychological demons . mac : did you try explaining that to lucy ? kevin : i told her i loved her . and i begged her to believe the vampires are n't real . mac : and , uh -- she did n't back down , huh ? kevin : she 's convinced that all these fantasies are real . felicia : well , maybe they are . sam : according to lucy , caleb had seduced alison , got alison pregnant , she had rafe , and when rafe sr . found out , he was a little bit concerned . mcbain : understandable . sam : no , not out of a jealousy sort of way . he thought that caleb was this vampire , as well , and he posed a threat to alison and her child , so -- he wanted to go after him . mcbain : okay , i 'm guessing that did n't end well . sam : well , it 's the last that anyone has ever heard or seen from alison 's husband . mcbain : right . now we got to figure out what happened today -- if rafe killed his mother and why . anna : rafe , you were holding the murder weapon . it had blood all over it . rafe : i was holding it because i pulled it out . do n't you understand ? i was trying to help her . anna : all right . rafe : after your officer stabbed her . anna : okay . can i get you some water or something ? i want to calm down . i want to -- let 's go back to the beginning . take a seat . so , you live here in port charles ? rafe : no . anna : where were you from ? rafe : we 're from all over the place . my mom and i came here to find someone named lucy coe . anna : lucy ? why ? rafe : my mom said she could help us , that she was the only one . anna : help you with what ? with money or something ? rafe : i do n't know . i -- i 'm not sure . my mom had all these strange ideas , and she believed lucy was the only answer . so she went to find her and told me to stay at the pier . that 's when she gave me that thing . anna : the weapon ? rafe : for protection . anna : protection against what , rafe ? all right . so you stay at the pier . rafe : no . i left . anna : even though your mother asked you to stay ? rafe : i met this girl . t.j. : maybe we should go to the police station and talk to the cops . molly : but i do n't know anything . t.j. : i think you might know more than you think . and it 's not cool to keep quiet about something so huge , molly . molly : okay . yeah , you 're right . i should come forward with any information i have . t.j. : come on . rafe : molly offered to buy me lunch , okay ? she felt bad for me or something . i do n't know . anyway , when we were done , i left the diner , went to the pier -- and that 's when i saw it . anna : what did you see ? alison : no ! [ laughing ] alison : no ! get off ! get off me ! rafe : mom ! alison : no , rafe ! no , please stay back there ! do n't ! no ! aah ! shh . alison : oh ! rafe : he killed her . he killed my mother . elizabeth : did patrick actually witness britt being britt ? sabrina : she was laying into me about making her look bad , right ? elizabeth : as if she needs you for that . sabrina : yeah , well , she said something like , `` i 'm gon na tell you what i told that little brat emma . i 'm gon na be in patrick 's life , and there 's nothing you can do about it `` -- you know , something like that . elizabeth : and he heard everything ? so there was no way she could get out of it ? sabrina : mnh - mnh . he said that they were over and that he could n't be with someone who did n't care for his child . elizabeth : oh , i am so glad that woman is out of their lives . sabrina : but she did not go down quietly . elizabeth : what do you mean ? sabrina : westbourne told patrick that i want him for myself . lulu : i understand that maxie is your patient , so anything that she tells you is confidential . i really get that . but i am your patient , too . and most importantly , so is my baby . so if something were to happen that could even remotely affect our child , dante and i have a right to know . britt : i completely agree . mac : felicia , vampires with fangs who combust when you put a stake in their heart ? come on . felicia : i know that the premise is outrageous , but lucy believes it to be real . mac , you saw her at the arraignment when detective mcbain walked in . kevin : i realize it 's not detective mcbain 's fault that lucy projected her delusions onto him , but why would he think it was a good idea to show up at her arraignment ? mac : well , he was there for another case . i mean , i do n't even think he knew lucy was in the courtroom . but when lucy saw him , she went berserk . it 's the only way to describe it . attacked him in front of a room full of witnesses . felicia : she was terrified . i could see it . i could feel it . i just do n't understand how something so real could be all in her head . heather : where do you think you 're going ? todd : oh , i 'm going to prison -- that 's where i 'm going -- thanks to you . and i got to say , honestly , it 's starting to be really appealing to me , given the alternative . lucy : you really , really do n't like her . todd : yeah , i really , really do n't like her . heather : todd 's just overreacting . we used to be a great team . todd : no , we were not ever anything , and we never will be . i do n't want anything to do with you . heather : suit yourself . but do n't go crying when you missed out . todd : on what ? heather : my plan . todd : right . 'cause your plans have worked out so well in the past . heather : you want to hear about it . i know you do . todd : no , i do n't . heather : yes , you do . todd : no , i do n't . i do n't . i do n't . not now , not ever . ever . heather : okay , then . i guess it 's just you and me . lucy : uh , no . no . you know , actually , you can count me out on that , too . i do n't think i ever want to be ever , ever involved with you , either , especially after what you did to edward . heather : but i loved edward . lucy : you loved his money . you married him for his money . heather : oh , will you get over it ? come on . he and lila are reunited in the next world , and we should start focusing on this one -- you know , the one that 's in imminent danger from those vampires . lucy : oh , okay , fine . i 'll bite . what does your plan have to do with that ? heather : well , you said you want to stop the evil forces ? i can help you do that . lucy : from in here . heather : no . from out there . sam : what 're you guys doing here ? hi ! i thought you would be in bed by now . molly : um , we got a little sidetracked . we heard a woman was killed on the pier . the police said her son did it . sam : well , that 's the theory . why ? molly : i think i know him . sam : how ? molly : is his name rafe ? mcbain : yes . his name is rafe . molly : ca n't believe this is happening . detective . mcbain : yeah . here you go . mcbain : thank you . molly : oh , my god . mcbain : what ? you 've seen this before ? molly : rafe had it . anna : so , this man that you say is detective mcbain , he struggled with your mother , and he grabs the weapon , and stabs her . rafe : yes . anna : what happened next ? rafe : she went down . she was really hurt . blood was everywhere , and -- i did n't know what to do , and the thing was still in her , so i -- pulled it out . anna : and the man , the murderer ? i do n't know . i was too focused on my mom . mom ! hold on . just hold on , okay ? i 'm & -- i 'm gon na get you help . alison : no , it 's too late , rafe . rafe : no , mom ! mom , you ca n't die ! alison : you got to save yourself , okay , rafe ? i love you so much . rafe : i love you , too . just & -- somebody help me ! no ! no ! alison : [ & gasps ; & ] anna : then what ? rafe : i just sat there , numb . when i finally looked up , i saw the man who stabbed her . only then , he was -- he was holding a gun . mcbain : police -- put the weapon down . step away from the body . anna : why did n't you defend yourself , rafe ? rafe : my mom was dead . i was looking at the man who stabbed her . i was scared . look , i swear to god , that 's exactly what happened . say you believe me . britt : all my patients deserve full disclosure . you and dante are no exception . lulu : thank you . britt : i apologize , lulu , if you felt like you were out of the loop . lulu : i realize that surrogacy is n't the most typical thing . britt : well , it wo n't happen again . lulu : that 's all i needed to hear . britt : and so we are all on the same page . the fetus maxie is carrying appears to be 100 % healthy . lulu : that is all i needed to hear . yay ! maxie : yay ! [ cell phone beeps ] lulu : there 's a crisis at the haunted star . i wanted to be here for your appointment but -- maxie : go , it 's okay . i 'll be fine . just go . lulu : you 'll let me know how the exam goes ? britt : absolutely . lulu : okay . i 'll call you . maxie : okay . lulu : thanks . maxie : so much for doctor - patient confidentiality . britt : okay , i did n't say anything , did i ? maxie : yeah , but you almost did . why would you tell lulu that i 'm not carrying her baby ? britt : 'cause it 's her fault . maxie : whose ? britt : the simpering little bitch of a nurse , sabrina . maxie : santiago ? emma 's babysitter ? britt : yes . she turned patrick against me , and now i 've lost him . elizabeth : how excited are you ? sabrina : about what ? elizabeth : patrick being done with britt . sabrina : um , hello ? did you not just hear the part about britt outing me ? elizabeth : [ scoffs ] sabrina : thank god patrick thought she was lying . elizabeth : why ? sabrina : i do n't know . because she lied about everything else . elizabeth : no , why the `` thank god `` part ? what 's so bad about patrick knowing how you feel ? sabrina : aside from complete and utter embarrassment ? elizabeth : okay , nothing -- no one is standing in your way . i say you go for it . sabrina : ah ! no . it 's impossible . he 's not interested . elizabeth : only one way to find out . come on . you were strong enough to stand up to britt , right ? and she is way worse than he could ever be . sabrina : true . elizabeth : come on , sabrina ! you can do this . just say the words and see what happens . maxie : so , you were about to implode not only my life , but lulu 's over a guy . i am really sorry patrick dumped you , but there is no reason that you need to take it out on us . britt : it 's gon na come out , maxie . secrets always do . you might as well get it over with now and tell lulu . maxie : i ca n't . britt : well , then i guess it 's on me . maxie : you ca n't tell , dr. westbourne . i 'm your patient , remember ? britt : you just heard what we talked about in here . lulu and dante are my patients , too . i owe it to them to be honest . maxie : no , no , no ! no , no , no , no ! okay . i will do whatever you want . just please keep quiet about this . lucy : yeah , right . you really have a plan to get all of us out of here . heather : yes , i do . lucy : okay . why would you risk it ? i mean , i have to get out of here because lives depend on it . but you ? are n't you better off being here in ferncliff than in prison ? heather : let 's just say i have a little unfinished business . todd : [ scoffs ] hair ball . hair . lucy : hey . whoa . hey . focus , focus . hey , you , here -- with me . okay . what is your plan ? todd : missing piece . heather : i got an idea . why do n't we go back to my room ? heather : you see , the details of my plan are to be disseminated on a need - to- know basis , and some people do n't need to know . todd : [ mocking ] `` some people do n't need to know . `` heather : let 's go . i 'll show you my latest macramé project ! lucy : [ chuckles ] yay . todd : [ giggles mockingly ] have fun macraméing . lucy : oh , shut up . you probably think i 'm making a big , fat mistake . todd : yeah , i think you 're making a big , fat mistake . lucy : well , i ca n't help it . i have no choice . i am the only one that can kill the vampire . todd : well , you better stock up on garlic and wooden stakes , then . lucy : thank you for that tip . look , i just wanted to say something that i am sorry you might go to prison because i get the feeling that maybe that whole baby - switching thing -- well , just maybe your intentions were actually good . todd : wait . heather : yes , todd ? todd : [ sighs ] i 'm in . kevin : i do n't doubt that you saw real terror from lucy . i mean , she really believes that vampires and angels are real . mac : angels ? kevin : oh , did i neglect to mention her cousin , rafe kovich ? he was an angel sent from heaven to battle the forces of darkness on earth . he disappeared years ago . i do n't know . maybe he flew back to heaven . felicia : i 'm sorry , kevin . i can see how much this is hurting you . kevin : i 'm not an easy person , and neither is lucy , but we complemented each other . felicia : yeah . kevin : she was intuitive . i was intellectual . she would operate on instinct , and i would overanalyze . but all the give - and - take , the mutual compromise , it made us better . we were greater than the sum of our flaws . and let 's be honest -- i 'm the one with the questionable mental history . at least until this vampire delusion took hold . felicia : even if lucy is delusional -- no , scratch that . especially if she is , do n't you think you need to be there by her side , now more than ever ? kevin : you 've been talking to alexis . mac : she say the same thing ? kevin : it 's what convinced me to go out to ferncliff -- that and the fact that lucy is still my wife -- and i love her . mac : then why are you giving up on her so easily ? molly : i was just feeding the ducks with danny , and i -- i ran into rafe at the pier . we started talking . he asked if he could have my stale bread . sam : what ? to eat ? molly : yeah , he was hungry , so i decided to buy him some food at kelly 's . mcbain : did he mention his mother at any time ? molly : said they 'd traveled a lot . mcbain : traveled a lot . did -- did he say anything that would suggest that he wanted to hurt her ? molly : no . not really . t.j. : you have to tell them everything , molly . mcbain : anything rafe said about his mother would help us . molly : he did say one thing . mcbain : what 's that ? molly : well -- rafe said that sometimes he wishes he could be free of his mom . rafe : i did not kill my mother . why would i do that ? anna : that 's what we 're trying to figure out . rafe : you want answers ? ask him . tell her what you did . mcbain : what now ? anna : rafe thinks that you killed his mother . mcbain : hey , kid , i do n't know what you think you saw out there -- rafe : just admit it , you bastard ! mcbain : admit what ? rafe : my mom was right the whole time . she said someone was after us . and it was you ! it was you ! anna : hey ! hey ! stop ! molly : i know how it sounds , but i really do n't think rafe meant he wanted to hurt his mom . t.j. : come on . they -- molly : no , he 's just tired of being dragged around all the time . t.j. : they found the guy with the murder weapon , molly . molly : but that 's not proof of anything . maybe he was in shock and picked it up without thinking , or maybe he was even trying to help her . t.j. : why are you so bent on defending him ? molly : why are you attacking him ? sam : look , i think what t.j. 's trying to say is that we do n't know anything about rafe . t.j. : yeah . i mean , it 's kind of tough , considering you just met him 2 seconds ago . molly : you 're right . i do n't know that he 's innocent . but you also do n't know that he 's guilty . we do n't know what happened on that pier . we have n't heard the whole story . rafe : molly . molly , i did n't do it . anna : i 'm taking him to booking . mcbain : want me to go with you ? anna : no , no , you stay here . where 's caruso ? rafe : i swear i did n't do it , molly . anna : come on . felicia : this is lucy we 're talking about . kevin : i 'm aware . felicia : your lucy . the two of you belong together . kevin : i used to believe that , felicia . i did . but -- things change . felicia : well , yeah , of course they change . life throws us all kinds of curve balls . but , you know , love is love . and it defies all odds . it perseveres through anything . kevin : well , that 's how it 's worked out for you and mac , and i commend you both for it . felicia : mac and i have been apart a lot , and that 's my fault . but i know -- well , i 've always known that , deep down , if i really needed him and i got into trouble , he would be there for me . mac : i would . i would . just like i know felicia would show up for me . kevin : and i 'm happy for both of you . but this situation is a little different , do n't you think ? you do n't have a vampire between you . mac : we had frisco . does that count ? felicia : [ chuckles ] the point is , is that we got past it . i put frisco behind me . and lucy can put her vampire behind her . you just have to stick by her . heather : but i thought you wanted nothing to do with me ever again . todd : i do n't even like breathing because i know that sometimes , maybe , you breath . heather : stop with the sweet talk . i ca n't take it . todd : but i 'm not going back to prison . so -- count me in on your little plan to get out of here . lucy : wait a minute . did n't you just mention that all her plans are doomed ? todd : no , i did n't -- i -- lucy : no , you did . you strongly implied it . you strongly implied it . todd : no , what i said was she 's a complete lunatic , but she 's managed to break out of this snake pit twice . heather : that you know of . todd : so what 's the word ? heather : okay . you can come . just remember that i 'm the boss of this operation . got it ? lucy : okay . i got it . todd : all right . heather : i 'm sorry . what did you say ? todd : i said `` unh huh huh unh . `` heather : all right , listen up . i 've made it my business to befriend the most influential people in the staff at this place . i 'm talking about the attendants , the nurses , the cooks , the janitors . todd : janitors are influential . heather : i 've convinced them that they are overworked and they are underpaid . and they believe me . and i 've told them that their only hope is to stand together as a united force , so that 's what they 're gon na do . i 've started a revolution . you know , like those restaurant people in the fast - food place in new york ? todd : okay , che guevara , where does this action take us ? what does it get us ? heather : there 's gon na be a massive walkout tonight . lucy : whoa , whoa , whoa . right here , with all this staff ? heather : yeah . they 're gon na walk out , and we 're gon na walk out right behind them . sabrina : no , i ca n't . elizabeth : why not ? sabrina : because what am i supposed to do ? just walk right up to him and say , `` hey , excuse me , patrick . i 'm sorry for interrupting your phone call , but i just wanted to let you know that i have been madly in love with you from the first moment i laid eyes on you `` ? elizabeth : eh , you might want to dial that down just a notch , but that 's the general idea . come on . all you have to say is , `` dr. westbourne was right . i do have feelings for you . `` sabrina : just like that . elizabeth : just like that . sabrina : and then ? elizabeth : and then see what he says . sabrina : no ! this is crazy . elizabeth : [ sighs ] sabrina : look , just because patrick and dr. westbourne are over does n't mean that he 's gon na magically want me . elizabeth : maybe not . but you 'll never know unless you put yourself out there . maxie : i can help you get patrick back . britt : how ? maxie : i have n't gotten that far yet , but we 're close . i was married to his brother , and -- robin was family . britt : no . forget it . my dreams of riding off into the sunset are trashed , thanks to -- maxie : oh , god . i think you 're getting an idea , and that makes me kind of scared . britt : yeah , on second thought , maybe there is something you can do for me . maxie : no ! no , no , no ! wait , wait , wait ! why did you run out like that ? britt : well , when you did n't respond , i assumed you changed your mind . you know , it 's probably for the best . i can call lulu , and i will make a full disclosure . i 'll explain that you 're having spinelli 's baby and not hers . maxie : no , no ! okay . whatever you want , i 'll do it . i 'm in . britt : glad to hear it . maxie : so , what are we talking about here ? you want a makeover ? britt : [ chuckles ] maxie : not that you need one . um -- some personal shopping , i 'm hoping ? britt : you 're gon na help me destroy sabrina santiago . sabrina : it 's just that i -- i 'm not the type of person to just -- i ca n't tell patrick about my feelings for him , okay ? elizabeth : where is felix when you need him ? sabrina : why ? elizabeth : i do n't know . 'cause he 's really good at pep talk . sabrina : no . thank god felix is not here , because if felix were here , he would march right up and tell patrick about it himself . elizabeth : yes . and maybe that 's exactly what needs to happen . sabrina : no , no ! elizabeth , please , please , please . elizabeth : i 'm kidding , i 'm kidding , i 'm kidding . but , seriously , you need to talk to patrick , and the sooner , the better . patrick : sorry about that . sabrina : no problem . patrick : all right , well , i 'm gon na assume that you filled elizabeth in . elizabeth : sabrina was n't gossiping . i just noticed it was a little tense . patrick : tomorrow afternoon , everybody 's gon na know that britt and i broke up . elizabeth : yeah . sorry about that . patrick : no , do n't say sorry , because you 're not . in fact , this is probably the time where you say that you told me so . elizabeth : actually , sabrina has something to tell you . [ muffled shouting ] heather : follow my lead . mac : so , what do you think kevin 's gon na do about lucy ? felicia : i do n't know . obviously , he loves her so much . mac : well , hopefully that 'll be enough . felicia : well , it was for us . mac : [ chuckles ] felicia : are we lucky or what ? mac : finally , after all this time . nothing to get in our way . felicia : mnh - mnh . mac : i got to go in the stock room . it 's gon na take a while . it 's a mess . felicia : okay .

jack : we get married , we have a spectacular wedding , and we spend the rest of our lives doing what married people do . except in the prenup , it 's going to state that she must continue to laugh at my jokes . that 's all . anna : and you 're just going to prove to her what she 's been missing all these years , right , and then she 'll change . jack : erica kane does n't change for anybody . anna : oh , but you do n't believe that , see , because you think that you can heal her , that you can make her love you the way that she should so that she never hurts you again , right ? jack : are we still talking about erica here ? look , before you decided to spend your life with david , you must have had some expectations , some , you know -- what were they ? no , whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa . number one , you do n't clean up in my place . number two , you did n't come here to have dinner . you have dinner at home with david . so why do n't you just tell me ? anna : ok . i thought that i could do the same thing -- that i could fix him and change him . but you know better than anyone that i was wrong , that nothing can change david . kendall : will you please just tell me what your father said ? michael : it does n't matter . michael : it does n't matter . kendall : tell me . michael : kendall , i do n't want to upset you . kendall : would you spit it out , michael , please ? michael : ok , my father is a very resourceful man and he 's very suspicious . so when i told him about you , he hired somebody , an investigator , to find out who you were , ok ? so cane go now ? kendall : no , we ca n't go now . wait a minute . what , did he dig up dirt about me ? michael : well , it 's not only that . he thinks that the only reason you could be after me is , you know , for my money . kendall : well , i hope you told him that was n't true . michael : well , of course i did . i tried to convince him that , you know , you stand out from all the others . kendall , no one has cared for me the way you do . hey , me , michael . i 'm michael cambias , heir to cambias industries . kendall : baby , i know you 've been disappointed in the past . michael : hmm . kendall : come here . so have i . michael : i do n't know . i 've also tried to explain to my father that i want to stay because i love you and it does n't matter . kendall : what did you say ? michael : well , that i love you . kendall : michael , i -- michael : no , no , no , no , no . no , that was wrong . that was wrong . kendall : no , no -- michael : no , no , no , i definitely should not have said that -- kendall : no , michael -- no , no , do n't take it back . do n't take it back . i 'm glad you said it . it came from your heart . michael : uh -- kendall : it did . and what you said to your father -- that means everything to me . michael : well , i had to defend your honor , right ? listen , i know you 'd do the same with me -- or for me with your mother , so -- kendall : hmm . mm - hmm . no wonder you 've been such a stress case . how long ago did your father lay all of this on you ? michael : a couple weeks ago . i 'm sorry i did n't tell you about it earlier . kendall : well , why did n't you ? michael : well , it 's just i thought maybe -- i do n't know -- you know what ? it does n't matter . i 'm sorry . forgive me . kendall : no , what ? why ? michael : well , there were a couple moments there when i thought maybe , you know , he was right , that if i did n't -- you know , that if my bank account was empty you would leave me for another guy or you would be with another guy . kendall : do n't even say that . michael , i 'm with you because i ca n't imagine being with anybody else . michael : no one ? kendall : no . michael : not even boyd ? boyd : now , the cream may need some minor tweaking , but it 's almost ready for the mass market . erica : `` almost `` ? boyd : well , yeah . i mean , you want it to be perfect , right ? and the test results -- well , the pictures are right there . i mean , they do n't lie . erica , this stuff stops the aging process in its tracks . no surgery , just this cream . i mean , everybody from the 20-somethings to their grandmother will be buying it . we can market it under the idea `` keep the face you have . `` what do you think ? erica : boyd , this is a triumph . this is revolutionary ! oh , everybody 's going to buy this ! everybody 's going to buy our stock ! boyd : and what 's more , we can produce it at a cost that makes it affordable to almost all women . i 'm telling you , erica , your biggest competitors are going to be so jealous . erica : to tell you the truth , i 'm thinking about the tiny competitors . boyd : what , meaning fusion ? erica : absolutely . they 're about to become very desperate . have you seen `` the herald `` this morning ? boyd : you mean that lawsuit ? that 's outrageous . come on , lip color affecting taste buds ? i 've never heard of such a thing . it 'll never make it to court . erica : yeah , but , you know , it almost does n't matter because the bad publicity is really going to hurt fusion , and then kendall is going to want a quick fix . so , boyd , she may come to you . i know she has in the past , and i know she knows that you were developing something really sensational . boyd : ok , i know where you 're going with this , but believe me , erica , kendall wo n't try -- erica : kendall will . she will try to steal the formula from you . boyd : how ? erica : well , i 'm not sure , but just be on guard . boyd : erica , unless kendall has supernatural powers , it ca n't be done . the formula 's locked in my head . i never wrote it down . erica : and what about the product testing ? boyd : all the test results were developed and supervised by me and me alone . and no one knows what 's in my formula . not even you . erica : good . keep it that way , at least until we get the patent , all right , because then if kendall tries anything , she wo n't be able to get her hands on it . boyd : believe me , erica , kendall would never try to compromise our friendship over some formula . erica : boyd , you are so smart in chemistry and science and in formulas , but you 're so naive when it comes to kendall . boyd , kendall will stop at nothing to get what she wants . boyd : i guess you 're right . you 're right . after all , kendall 's just a carbon copy of you . jack : so , anna , what brought all this on ? i mean , did david do something ? anna : thank you . it 's the baby . jack : what , he 's not taking to fatherhood , or what ? anna : i mean , i ca n't really criticize him . it 's been difficult for me , too . i nearly leapt down your throat when you suggested i go back to work . jack : well , so you 're saying that the baby 's changed both of you . i mean , babies do that , do n't they ? anna : hmm . police work just seems irrelevant to me now . you know , this little creature -- i just -- i just want to keep her safe and love her and take care of her -- if i was allowed to . i really feel like she 's given me a purpose in life , you know . jack : well , anna , you could have that purpose in life without david in your life . you 're a strong woman . you could raise leora by yourself . anna : no . jack : well , i 'm just saying if it came to that , there 's no court in the land that would give hayward custody over you . anna : no , i know i do n't need him , but i do n't want to raise her without him . jack : even though his lies and his incessant need to control everybody and everything in his life -- anna : i 'm not going to leave him . it 's not an option . this baby -- it 's a bond between us forever , i feel . greenlee : i have n't forgotten about leo . david : you can think of someone else , you know . it is allowed . greenlee : i just want you to know -- david : greenlee -- greenlee : that it 's not -- david : greenlee , you feel like you 've betrayed leo . greenlee : i have . and i do n't understand how you could just sit there and listen to me tell you all of this and not have a reaction . david : i am having a reaction . i think it 's great . look , leo would understand , honey . you know , i mean , you 're young , you 're beautiful , you 've got your whole life ahead of you . of course you 're bound to feel lonely greenlee : this is n't about sex . david : who said anything about sex ? you 're the one that keeps bringing it there . look , if this guy makes you feel a little less hurt , maybe he 's the one who -- greenlee : no , carlos is n't the one . david : oh . ok . so he has a name . where 'd you meet him ? greenlee : i never thought i 'd be having this conversation with you . david : well , you are , so where ? greenlee : i told you -- on the internet , sort of . david : oh . oh , ok . so this is that guy that was sending you emails ? well , did you meet him on some kind of , like , online dating service or something ? greenlee : no , no , no . it was n't like that . i was n't looking for anything . he just kind of found me , and we already knew each other from fusion . david : fusion ? i thought that was a ladies'-only operation . greenlee : well , it is . he 's -- david : what , a photographer ? designer ? financial advisor ? greenlee , come on . leora 's going to get up in 15 minutes . greenlee : oh , leora -- how is she ? can i see her ? david : yeah , she 's doing great , and , yes , you can see her , but , first , you have to tell me . greenlee : he 's a handyman , all right ? building maintenance . do n't . david , do n't . do n't say anything , ok ? he 's sweet . carlos is very sweet , and he 's a gentleman . so save the lecture about how he 's not in my stratosphere and -- what ? david : nothing . greenlee , i do n't have a problem with what carlos does for a living . but obviously , you do . kendall : how can you even say that ? boyd means nothing to me . you -- you 're everything . michael : and you 're going to think i 'm totally crazy , but when you said that you thought i wanted you to seduce boyd for the formula ? kendall : yeah ? what ? michael : well , i thought maybe you wanted to sleep with boyd . kendall : no . i only thought that because that 's what you said . michael : and i have to tell you you are amazing . i mean , that you would even sleep with somebody else for me , for our future -- kendall : whoa , whoa -- michael , whoa , whoa , whoa . i thought i told you sleeping with boyd was never an option i would ever consider . michael : i know that , i know that , but , you know , that your mind even went there , it -- kendall : well , you really think we have a future together ? michael : well , yeah . but , you know , we ca n't live on love alone , kendall . my dad 's going to want me back home soon and -- kendall : but you have a life here now . michael : sweet kendall , you do n't understand my father . look , if you got the formula from boyd and i invested in fusion as a secret partner , when this lawsuit causes it to fail , i could step in and save your company . kendall : no , do n't -- do n't even say that . fusion is not dead yet . michael : kendall , it 's pretty much on life - support , and you know that . and when my father finds out that enchantment has this revolutionary new formula that i missed my chance on , he 's just going to hand the reins over to -- to cambias industries to one of his underlings . kendall : but you 're his son . michael : i know , i know it 's crazy , but that 's my dad . it 's just business for him . and i 'm going to have to go work for the company , and i will have absolutely no say in what i do or where i go . kendall : how can you do that ? i mean , you just told me you loved me . you ca n't just leave . michael : oh , sweetheart , i know . i do n't want to . and i tell you what -- i 'm going to try to figure out a way to convince my father to give me another chance . kendall : you 've come so far , michael . you ca n't give up now . michael : i wo n't . i wo n't . but unless you can find a way to work your magic on boyd , i do n't see what else i can do . erica : boyd , believe me , i try never to interfere in the personal lives of my employees . but when i see someone like you -- you 're so intelligent and hard working and ethical -- about to be trampled -- boyd : be tramp -- ok , look , erica , i know kendall is with cambias . i just think that -- erica : one day what ? that she will just drop everything and come running into your arms like in the movies ? boyd : no , of course not . erica : because if she comes to you , boyd , it wo n't be what you imagined . boyd : erica , with all due respect , how would you know ? erica : well , i certainly know that it 's easy to sit around and dream about love . but when it actually appears , then you just have to work on it , you know , day by day . boyd : so you make it work . erica : well , maybe you ca n't . are you willing to risk the friendship you have with kendall even though it may just blow up in your face ? boyd : yes . yes , i am . look , erica , even if kendall and i got together and it was a complete disaster , well , then at least we tried . i mean , what if , by some crazy chance , it did work out ? and happiness only comes around so often . that 's a no - brainer . i 'd do it in a heartbeat . erica : you 'd risk everything ? boyd : yeah . i mean , it 's the bravest thing two people in love can do . but if you do n't go for it , if you do n't at least try , you 're always going to wonder -- erica : what might have been . boyd : exactly . look , i think i should probably get back to work . erica : yeah , i think so . boyd : erica , again , thanks for all your support . kendall : my life would be pretty empty if you left . michael : no , i 'm going to find a way to persuade boyd to leave enchantment and come over to fusion , get that formula from him . kendall : hello . in case you have forgotten , boyd hates you . michael : well , i 'll persuade him . i 'll find a way . kendall : no , he would never listen to you . he 's completely on erica 's side . he 's devoted to erica . michael : what are you being so negative for ? i will figure out a way . we will do it together , ok ? kendall : i 'm sorry . i just -- i -- i just ca n't imagine you being away from me . i ca n't imagine us being apart . michael : oh , sweetheart , i feel the same way . just remember one thing , ok ? no matter what happens , you 're always going to have a big spot in my heart . i mean , listen , some of the greatest lovers in history have had to settle with being together in spirit only . kendall : i have to go . michael : wait a second . whoa , what ? i thought you were going to spend the night . kendall : oh , i ca n't . michael : why ? kendall : you know what ? i 'll tell you tomorrow . just promise me that you 'll settle things up with your father soon . michael : ok . kendall : ok . just -- i want you to know that our future is the most important thing to me right now . and no matter what happens , i did this for us . just remember that . ok . bye . michael : i will . greenlee : why would i have a problem with carlos being a handyman ? because i came from money ? david : no , no . because in your mind , you 're constantly comparing carlos to leo . greenlee : no , i 'm not . david : and if you keep doing that , greenlee , carlos is always going to fall short . look , my brother -- he was a tough act to follow . we both know that . greenlee : you know , before leo , i always thought that i 'd get married and have a family . i never thought i 'd fall totally and completely in love , not after the train wreck of a marriage my parents had , and i was ok with that . and then leo -- david : changed your life . greenlee : and me . david : well , who knows ? maybe you and carlos can do that for one another , hmm ? greenlee : i do n't know about that . he is talented , though . david : really ? greenlee : mm - hmm . he 's a writer . a poet , actually . david : oh . so he 's been writing you poetry ? greenlee : yes . david : well , i think he 's had amazing inspiration . greenlee : so , has anna inspired you to be a better man ? david : absolutely . you know , the love i feel for her and for our daughter is so much more powerful than anything i could have imagined . but it could also be a little dangerous . greenlee : what do you mean ? david : it 's not important , all right ? you did n't come up here -- greenlee : explain yourself , david . david : i 'm suffocating them , greenlee . greenlee : you 're a first - time father . david : no , no , it 's more than that . you know , ever since we brought leora home , i 've been treating anna like she 's some kind of a stranger . you should see me in action . i mean , even tonight , i did n't intend to do it , but i hurt her so badly that she stormed out of here . greenlee : what happened ? david : leora was crying , and anna naturally wanted to go see her , but i would n't let her . you know , i was controlling , i was pushy , and i made her feel like she was completely incompetent . next thing i know , she 's -- she 's gone . greenlee : well , she 'll be back . david : oh , i know . i know she 'll be back -- i mean , this time . but if i keep doing this , if i keep acting like this , eventually she 's going to get tired and she 's going to leave and she 'll take leora with her . greenlee : well , then you better make sure that does n't happen , because that little girl needs her daddy and anna needs you . make this right , david , before you lose her forever . anna : i ca n't `` do `` my life without him . i just ca n't do it , you know ? i love him , no matter what he does . jack : no matter how many times he lets you down or how many times he hurts you ? anna : well , he is being irrational about the baby , and i understand that . jack : you understand the fact that he implies that your mothering skills are n't what they should be ? anna : well , that 's because he 's even more afraid than i am of being a bad parent . jack : the great dr . hayward , afraid , huh ? anna : yeah . and it took a tiny little baby to do it . i wish i could just show him that he really is a wonderful father . jack : well , anna , i think that 's something that he 's going to have to see through his own eyes . anna : that 's true . jack : yeah . anna : i want to help him , though . really , it 's just the way he looks at this little girl . it 's without any reservations . it just makes me love him even more . jack : well , i 'll tell you what my personal and professional opinion is , and that is that you 've already made your choice . anna : i do n't know why i came here , really . jack : because you miss me so much , that 's why , and because of the good food . come here . you 're welcome anytime . you understand me ? anna : yes . jack : ok . anna : thank you . jack : let me show you out . anna : ok . thanks for the chinese . jack : oh , listen , you 'll be hungry in an hour . anna : i 'm already hungry . jack : all right . safe home . anna : yeah . jack : all right , erica . what 's your choice going to be ? boyd 's voice : and what if , by some crazy chance , it did work out ? and happiness only comes around so often . that 's a no - brainer . i 'd do it in a heartbeat . david : anna , when you get this message , please call me . all right ?

jack : we get married , we have a spectacular wedding , and we spend the rest of our lives doing what married people do . except in the prenup , it 's going to state that she must continue to laugh at my jokes . that 's all . anna : and you 're just going to prove to her what she 's been missing all these years , right , and then she 'll change . jack : erica kane does n't change for anybody . anna : oh , but you do n't believe that , see , because you think that you can heal her , that you can make her love you the way that she should so that she never hurts you again , right ?

michael : a couple weeks ago . i 'm sorry i did n't tell you about it earlier . kendall : well , why did n't you ? michael : well , it 's just i thought maybe -- i do n't know -- you know what ? it does n't matter . i 'm sorry . forgive me . kendall : no , what ? why ? michael : well , there were a couple moments there when i thought maybe , you know , he was right , that if i did n't -- you know , that if my bank account was empty you would leave me for another guy or you would be with another guy . kendall : do n't even say that . michael , i 'm with you because i ca n't imagine being with anybody else . michael : no one ? kendall : no . michael : not even boyd ? boyd : now , the cream may need some minor tweaking , but it 's almost ready for the mass market . erica : `` almost `` ? boyd : well , yeah . i mean , you want it to be perfect , right ? and the test results -- well , the pictures are right there . i mean , they do n't lie . erica , this stuff stops the aging process in its tracks . no surgery , just this cream . i mean , everybody from the 20-somethings to their grandmother will be buying it . we can market it under the idea `` keep the face you have . `` what do you think ? erica : boyd , this is a triumph . this is revolutionary ! oh , everybody 's going to buy this ! everybody 's going to buy our stock ! boyd : and what 's more , we can produce it at a cost that makes it affordable to almost all women . i 'm telling you , erica , your biggest competitors are going to be so jealous . erica : to tell you the truth , i 'm thinking about the tiny competitors . boyd : what , meaning fusion ? erica : absolutely . they 're about to become very desperate . have you seen `` the herald `` this morning ? boyd : you mean that lawsuit ? that 's outrageous . come on , lip color affecting taste buds ? i 've never heard of such a thing . it 'll never make it to court . erica : yeah , but , you know , it almost does n't matter because the bad publicity is really going to hurt fusion , and then kendall is going to want a quick fix . so , boyd , she may come to you . i know she has in the past , and i know she knows that you were developing something really sensational . boyd : ok , i know where you 're going with this , but believe me , erica , kendall wo n't try -- erica : kendall will . she will try to steal the formula from you . boyd : how ? erica : well , i 'm not sure , but just be on guard . boyd : erica , unless kendall has supernatural powers , it ca n't be done . the formula 's locked in my head . i never wrote it down . erica : and what about the product testing ? boyd : all the test results were developed and supervised by me and me alone . and no one knows what 's in my formula . not even you . erica : good . keep it that way , at least until we get the patent , all right , because then if kendall tries anything , she wo n't be able to get her hands on it . boyd : believe me , erica , kendall would never try to compromise our friendship over some formula . erica : boyd , you are so smart in chemistry and science and in formulas , but you 're so naive when it comes to kendall . boyd , kendall will stop at nothing to get what she wants . boyd : i guess you 're right . you 're right . after all , kendall 's just a carbon copy of you . jack : so , anna , what brought all this on ? i mean , did david do something ? anna : thank you . it 's the baby . jack : what , he 's not taking to fatherhood , or what ? anna : i mean , i ca n't really criticize him . it 's been difficult for me , too . i nearly leapt down your throat when you suggested i go back to work . jack : well , so you 're saying that the baby 's changed both of you . i mean , babies do that , do n't they ? anna : hmm . police work just seems irrelevant to me now . you know , this little creature -- i just -- i just want to keep her safe and love her and take care of her -- if i was allowed to . i really feel like she 's given me a purpose in life , you know . jack : well , anna , you could have that purpose in life without david in your life . you 're a strong woman . you could raise leora by yourself . anna : no . jack : well , i 'm just saying if it came to that , there 's no court in the land that would give hayward custody over you . anna : no , i know i do n't need him , but i do n't want to raise her without him . jack : even though his lies and his incessant need to control everybody and everything in his life -- anna : i 'm not going to leave him . it 's not an option . this baby -- it 's a bond between us forever , i feel . greenlee : i have n't forgotten about leo . david : you can think of someone else , you know . it is allowed . greenlee : i just want you to know -- david : greenlee -- greenlee : that it 's not -- david : greenlee , you feel like you 've betrayed leo . greenlee : i have . and i do n't understand how you could just sit there and listen to me tell you all of this and not have a reaction . david : i am having a reaction . i think it 's great . look , leo would understand , honey . you know , i mean , you 're young , you 're beautiful , you 've got your whole life ahead of you . of course you 're bound to feel lonely greenlee : this is n't about sex . david : who said anything about sex ? you 're the one that keeps bringing it there . look , if this guy makes you feel a little less hurt , maybe he 's the one who -- greenlee : no , carlos is n't the one . david : oh . ok . so he has a name . where 'd you meet him ? greenlee : i never thought i 'd be having this conversation with you . david : well , you are , so where ? greenlee : i told you -- on the internet , sort of . david : oh . oh , ok . so this is that guy that was sending you emails ? well , did you meet him on some kind of , like , online dating service or something ? greenlee : no , no , no . it was n't like that . i was n't looking for anything . he just kind of found me , and we already knew each other from fusion . david : fusion ? i thought that was a ladies'-only operation . greenlee : well , it is . he 's -- david : what , a photographer ? designer ? financial advisor ? greenlee , come on . leora 's going to get up in 15 minutes . greenlee : oh , leora -- how is she ? can i see her ? david : yeah , she 's doing great , and , yes , you can see her , but , first , you have to tell me . greenlee : he 's a handyman , all right ? building maintenance . do n't . david , do n't . do n't say anything , ok ? he 's sweet . carlos is very sweet , and he 's a gentleman . so save the lecture about how he 's not in my stratosphere and -- what ? david : nothing . greenlee , i do n't have a problem with what carlos does for a living . but obviously , you do . kendall : how can you even say that ? boyd means nothing to me . you -- you 're everything . michael : and you 're going to think i 'm totally crazy , but when you said that you thought i wanted you to seduce boyd for the formula ? kendall : yeah ? what ? michael : well , i thought maybe you wanted to sleep with boyd . kendall : no . i only thought that because that 's what you said . michael : and i have to tell you you are amazing . i mean , that you would even sleep with somebody else for me , for our future -- kendall : whoa , whoa -- michael , whoa , whoa , whoa . i thought i told you sleeping with boyd was never an option i would ever consider . michael : i know that , i know that , but , you know , that your mind even went there , it -- kendall : well , you really think we have a future together ? michael : well , yeah . but , you know , we ca n't live on love alone , kendall . my dad 's going to want me back home soon and -- kendall : but you have a life here now . michael : sweet kendall , you do n't understand my father . look , if you got the formula from boyd and i invested in fusion as a secret partner , when this lawsuit causes it to fail , i could step in and save your company . kendall : no , do n't -- do n't even say that . fusion is not dead yet . michael : kendall , it 's pretty much on life - support , and you know that . and when my father finds out that enchantment has this revolutionary new formula that i missed my chance on , he 's just going to hand the reins over to -- to cambias industries to one of his underlings . kendall : but you 're his son . michael : i know , i know it 's crazy , but that 's my dad . it 's just business for him . and i 'm going to have to go work for the company , and i will have absolutely no say in what i do or where i go . kendall : how can you do that ? i mean , you just told me you loved me . you ca n't just leave . michael : oh , sweetheart , i know . i do n't want to . and i tell you what -- i 'm going to try to figure out a way to convince my father to give me another chance . kendall : you 've come so far , michael . you ca n't give up now . michael : i wo n't . i wo n't . but unless you can find a way to work your magic on boyd , i do n't see what else i can do . erica : boyd , believe me , i try never to interfere in the personal lives of my employees . but when i see someone like you -- you 're so intelligent and hard working and ethical -- about to be trampled -- boyd : be tramp -- ok , look , erica , i know kendall is with cambias . i just think that -- erica : one day what ? that she will just drop everything and come running into your arms like in the movies ? boyd : no , of course not . erica : because if she comes to you , boyd , it wo n't be what you imagined . boyd : erica , with all due respect , how would you know ? erica : well , i certainly know that it 's easy to sit around and dream about love . but when it actually appears , then you just have to work on it , you know , day by day . boyd : so you make it work . erica : well , maybe you ca n't . are you willing to risk the friendship you have with kendall even though it may just blow up in your face ? boyd : yes . yes , i am . look , erica , even if kendall and i got together and it was a complete disaster , well , then at least we tried . i mean , what if , by some crazy chance , it did work out ? and happiness only comes around so often . that 's a no - brainer . i 'd do it in a heartbeat . erica : you 'd risk everything ? boyd : yeah . i mean , it 's the bravest thing two people in love can do . but if you do n't go for it , if you do n't at least try , you 're always going to wonder -- erica : what might have been . boyd : exactly . look , i think i should probably get back to work . erica : yeah , i think so . boyd : erica , again , thanks for all your support . kendall : my life would be pretty empty if you left . michael : no , i 'm going to find a way to persuade boyd to leave enchantment and come over to fusion , get that formula from him . kendall : hello . in case you have forgotten , boyd hates you . michael : well , i 'll persuade him . i 'll find a way . kendall : no , he would never listen to you . he 's completely on erica 's side . he 's devoted to erica . michael : what are you being so negative for ? i will figure out a way . we will do it together , ok ? kendall : i 'm sorry . i just -- i -- i just ca n't imagine you being away from me . i ca n't imagine us being apart . michael : oh , sweetheart , i feel the same way . just remember one thing , ok ? no matter what happens , you 're always going to have a big spot in my heart . i mean , listen , some of the greatest lovers in history have had to settle with being together in spirit only . kendall : i have to go . michael : wait a second . whoa , what ? i thought you were going to spend the night . kendall : oh , i ca n't . michael : why ? kendall : you know what ? i 'll tell you tomorrow . just promise me that you 'll settle things up with your father soon . michael : ok . kendall : ok . just -- i want you to know that our future is the most important thing to me right now . and no matter what happens , i did this for us . just remember that . ok . bye . michael : i will . greenlee : why would i have a problem with carlos being a handyman ? because i came from money ? david : no , no . because in your mind , you 're constantly comparing carlos to leo . greenlee : no , i 'm not . david : and if you keep doing that , greenlee , carlos is always going to fall short . look , my brother -- he was a tough act to follow . we both know that . greenlee : you know , before leo , i always thought that i 'd get married and have a family . i never thought i 'd fall totally and completely in love , not after the train wreck of a marriage my parents had , and i was ok with that . and then leo -- david : changed your life . greenlee : and me . david : well , who knows ? maybe you and carlos can do that for one another , hmm ? greenlee : i do n't know about that . he is talented , though . david : really ? greenlee : mm - hmm . he 's a writer . a poet , actually . david : oh . so he 's been writing you poetry ? greenlee : yes . david : well , i think he 's had amazing inspiration . greenlee : so , has anna inspired you to be a better man ? david : absolutely . you know , the love i feel for her and for our daughter is so much more powerful than anything i could have imagined . but it could also be a little dangerous . greenlee : what do you mean ? david : it 's not important , all right ? you did n't come up here -- greenlee : explain yourself , david . david : i 'm suffocating them , greenlee . greenlee : you 're a first - time father . david : no , no , it 's more than that . you know , ever since we brought leora home , i 've been treating anna like she 's some kind of a stranger . you should see me in action . i mean , even tonight , i did n't intend to do it , but i hurt her so badly that she stormed out of here . greenlee : what happened ? david : leora was crying , and anna naturally wanted to go see her , but i would n't let her . you know , i was controlling , i was pushy , and i made her feel like she was completely incompetent . next thing i know , she 's -- she 's gone . greenlee : well , she 'll be back . david : oh , i know . i know she 'll be back -- i mean , this time . but if i keep doing this , if i keep acting like this , eventually she 's going to get tired and she 's going to leave and she 'll take leora with her . greenlee : well , then you better make sure that does n't happen , because that little girl needs her daddy and anna needs you . make this right , david , before you lose her forever . anna : i ca n't `` do `` my life without him . i just ca n't do it , you know ? i love him , no matter what he does . jack : no matter how many times he lets you down or how many times he hurts you ? anna : well , he is being irrational about the baby , and i understand that . jack : you understand the fact that he implies that your mothering skills are n't what they should be ? anna : well , that 's because he 's even more afraid than i am of being a bad parent . jack : the great dr . hayward , afraid , huh ? anna : yeah . and it took a tiny little baby to do it . i wish i could just show him that he really is a wonderful father . jack : well , anna , i think that 's something that he 's going to have to see through his own eyes . anna : that 's true . jack : yeah . anna : i want to help him , though . really , it 's just the way he looks at this little girl . it 's without any reservations . it just makes me love him even more . jack : well , i 'll tell you what my personal and professional opinion is , and that is that you 've already made your choice . anna : i do n't know why i came here , really . jack : because you miss me so much , that 's why , and because of the good food . come here . you 're welcome anytime . you understand me ? anna : yes . jack : ok . anna : thank you . jack : let me show you out . anna : ok . thanks for the chinese . jack : oh , listen , you 'll be hungry in an hour . anna : i 'm already hungry . jack : all right . safe home . anna : yeah . jack : all right , erica . what 's your choice going to be ? boyd 's voice : and what if , by some crazy chance , it did work out ? and happiness only comes around so often . that 's a no - brainer . i 'd do it in a heartbeat . david : anna , when you get this message , please call me . all right ?

[ sighs ] what brings you by ? phyllis : i hear you 're in talks to purchase the grand phoenix . i do n't understand . when i asked you for a loan , you gave me all the reasons why it would n't be feasible . what changed ? anita : i just heard connor stomp up to his room and slam the door . chelsea : [ sarcastically ] i 'm so sorry that he disturbed you . anita : oh , will you stop ? the poor guy 's really upset , and i have a good idea why . he knows you and adam are n't getting back together , and it breaks his little heart . chelsea : wow . such incredible insight , mom . or were you eavesdropping again ? anita : a - all right . the point is , you 've got a problem on your hands . and i 'd be happy to talk to him if you think it would help . chelsea : no , actually , i 'd rather you stay here so we can continue our conversation from the other day . anita : what conversation is that ? i - i do n't know what you 're referring to . chelsea : huh . well , let me refresh your memory -- i was saying i knew you were up to something , and you were on the verge of fessing up . anita : [ sighs ] [ cellphone chimes ] billy : is he answering ? victoria : something tells me that he 's gon na respond in person . billy : [ sighs ] well , when he does , we 'll be ready . additional sponsorship phyllis : so , why 'd you tell me that you were n't interested in the grand phoenix ? were you actually planning to make a deal with adam and cut me out of it ? devon : i think you know better than that . i do n't operate that way . phyllis : so enlighten me . devon : i 'd be happy to , phyllis . i turned you down because you brought me a lousy proposal . you had agreed to pay over - inflated prices on a risky project . it 's a brand - new hotel not connected to any established chain , run by someone with zero experience in the hospitality industry . phyllis : right . that someone is me ? devon : that someone is you , yes . and even though i was able to negotiate a better deal under market value , i 've decided to pass on the whole thing . phyllis : seriously ? devon : yes . i decided that the potential return on the investment does n't justify the amount of time i 'd have to put into the whole project . so ... phyllis : well -- well , why do n't you do this ? why do n't you just flip the building ? buy it from adam and then sell it to me and make a quick buck . i mean , the deal that you 're gon na give me is definitely gon na be better than adam 's . devon : did you win the lotto when i was n't looking ? phyllis : you 're right . i - i do n't have limitless funds , for sure , but -- devon : right . that 's why you came to me in the first place , so ... phyllis : right , right . you 're right . i would just -- i would give you a healthy -- a healthy sum , and you just -- you -- you -- you got to give me time -- devon : i 'm not interested . no . i 'm not . phyllis : okay , listen . listen , devon ... [ sighs ] this building is way more than just an investment to me . it 's my way to redeem myself in the eyes of everyone in this town . and i know you understand that , because i know you know about redemption , because a lot of neil 's life was about redemption , and i know that you 're trying to honor that right now . devon : all right . let 's slow down . 'cause it sounds to me like you 're trying to exploit my late father 's memory to make a buck , and that 'd be really disrespectful of you to do that . lola : you just ended things with sharon , and here i am going on and on about my wedding . rey : mnh - mnh . lola : rey , i 'm sorry if i 've been insensitive -- rey : no , no , no . do n't -- do n't do that . do n't , don't . i do n't want you going there . i do n't want you worrying about that stuff . seeing you this happy cheers me up beyond belief . lola : i 'm glad . rey : i 'll check in with kyle , see if there 's anything i can do to pitch in . lola : just so you do n't think i 'm a total lazy bones , you know , i actually am helping plan the honeymoon . rey : oh , yeah ? lola : yeah . kyle picked the location , and i have been appointed activity director . rey : ahh . where you headed ? lola : samoa . this really cool resort where everyone has their own little bungalow right on the beach . rey : wow . that 's nice . lola : i know ! and there 's a wonderful spa , and diving and snorkeling . and you can even rent a sailboat , rey ! and go deep - sea fishing . oh , my god , and the scenery , it just looks -- i mean , it looks fantastic . and the sunsets in the middle of the pacific -- [ sighs ] and the stars at night -- oh , my god . i mean , i can hardly even wait . you know kyle said he would take a cooking class with me ? what ? rey : i just -- when you were in the hospital , it -- it got to me ... how little of life you 'd had a chance to experience . now ... you 're gon na see some of the world . in style , no less . i love it . anita : before you go accusing me of anything , i suggest you think about all i have done for you . chelsea : yes , and i appreciate your support . so much so that i offered you a big chunk of my inheritance from calvin . anita : mm - hmm . chelsea : and yet you turned down the money , which is completely unlike you , and you have still yet to give me a believable explanation . anita : i just wanted to do the right thing . chelsea : aha ! exactly . and that is what set off the alarm bells for me . anita : you are always so quick to judge . chelsea : oh , enough with the guilt trips , mother . you have been pestering me about calvin 's will practically since the moment he took his last breath . and then all this money comes through , and nothing . no interest . you did n't even ask me how much i inherited . anita : i did n't need to ask . chelsea : because ? anita : calvin 's friend told me , daryl . chelsea : what ? so -- so much for attorney / client privilege . anita : does that still apply when your client 's dead and buried ? i was so relieved to find out that your husband had provided for you and connor . and that 's all i cared about . chelsea : you are so full of it . anita : hey , now . chelsea : i mean , come on , mom ! all of these denials are just making me more determined to figure out what your angle is , because i know damn well there is one . anita : think what you like . my conscience is clear . chelsea : okay . if you do n't want to spill , i 'll ask daryl . and if he does n't want to talk , i 'll hire a lawyer . i will start digging . i am not going to stop until i get some answers . anita : fine ! [ huffs ] you never could leave well enough alone , could you ? all right . the fact is that [ sighs ] calvin left me a little bequest of my own . chelsea : this makes no sense . calvin was civil to you , yes . but he had your number . he knew you were on the grift . so the idea of him remembering you in his will in any significant way -- anita : fine . he did n't technically leave me anything , but there are certain assets that i 've been safeguarding . chelsea : that you stole ? anita : what an ugly word . chelsea : i am so disappointed in you right now ! anita : now who 's laying on the guilt ? listen , kiddo , there are certain things that you must not have known about your husband 's business dealings . the fact of the matter is , calvin had some rather ... complicated enterprises . chelsea : go on . anita : daryl felt strongly that we should n't burden you with the convoluted details while you were in mourning . chelsea : oh , yeah . and naturally you agreed . anita : i am your mother . believe it or not , i try to look out for you . chelsea : okay , well , i 'm ready to be burdened with the details now , mom . so start talking . anita : while calvin 's business dealings were legit , there were some that weren't . they could have easily been misinterpreted by the authorities . chelsea : the irs ? fbi ? sec ? anita : all of them . calvin thought it would be more prudent to keep those particular transactions off the books , and the proceeds in a storage unit rather than a bank . and let me guess the rest . you and daryl confiscated the profits from calvin 's more questionable dealings , and you kept the cash for yourselves . so the documents you showed me were fake . anita : baby , i swear , we were only thinking of you and connor . chelsea : mm - hmm . whew ... anita : there were bound to be questions about your inheritance , especially with adam hinting to the cops that you had something to do with calvin 's death . we did n't want anything even the least bit shady around you . chelsea : how much did you take ? it had to be substantial . otherwise you would have taken the million dollars i offered you . anita : [ sighs ] i - i do n't know the exact figure . chelsea : okay , well , you know , just ballpark it for me . anita : it 's not like we stayed up all night in the storage locker with green eyeshades on , counting fat stacks of hundreds . chelsea : well , that 's a charming visual , mother . and i bet that 's exactly what you did ! anita : sweetheart -- chelsea : tell me the truth . stop hedging and tell me the truth . anita : [ sighs ] fine . the total off - the - books assets probably came to another $ 5 million or so , give or take . chelsea : you took half my husband 's estate ? anita : the dirty half ! the half that could have gotten you into some serious hot water if anybody paid close attention . [ huffs ] i took an incredible risk for you , for your sake . chelsea : no , you cheated your daughter and your grandson out of millions . [ scoffs ] wow . well , i really hope you enjoy splashing around in your fat stacks , mom , but you ca n't do it here . i want you out of my sight . phyllis : i was not trying to disrespect your father . um ... i 'm sorry if it sounded like that . i was not trying to manipulate you in any way . i just -- i wanted you to know how important this project was to me , that 's all . it has [ voice catches ] been a really tough year . i 've been through a lot . devon : i know you have . but if we 're being honest , phyllis , i think you brought a lot of it onto yourself . um ... and if i 'm being frank , i just do n't want to work with you . phyllis : what ? devon : you 're not on good terms with any of your previous employers , whether it be abbott or newman , and that says a whole lot to me when i work with somebody . phyllis : oh , no . wait , wait , wait , wait . let 's be fair -- i got caught up in all of their sibling rivalry . and that 's why it 's so important for me to get this project going and to give this hotel a go . i mean , i need it for my reputation , my credibility . and -- and i -- i just want you to know -- i want you to know , i will give this project everything i 've got . devon : i know . and i have no doubt that you would . but i literally do n't know another way to say this , but the answer is no . victoria : i do n't really understand what you 're doing here . did n't you get my text about christian ? he 's not feeling well . that 's why i canceled the visit . adam : well , i figured i 'd visit him here instead of in the park . could sit by his bedside , read him some stories , or watch a video together -- whatever he 's up to . victoria : well , at the moment , he 's not up to any of that . adam : how sick , uh , is he ? what 's wrong with him ? victoria : oh , with the fever that he has , he 's just wiped out . i checked on him a few minutes ago . he 's sleeping . billy : and imagine him waking up to your busted - up face . so come back tomorrow when he 's feeling better , and you do n't look like something the cat dragged in . adam : [ sighs ] i 'll be in touch later to , uh , reschedule . victoria : thank you for understanding . adam : mm - hmm . victoria : can you believe he actually took `` no `` for an answer ? billy : ca n't count on that continuing . every time we come up with an excuse for him not to see christian , he 's gon na feel it , and he 's gon na have michael run straight to the judge . victoria : look , i know it 's not a permanent solution . but it 's all that i could come up with . every day that i can keep adam from confusing my nephew feels like a victory . anita : well , i 'm ready to go back to baton rouge . but [ sighs ] i hope you 're gon na reconsider . chelsea : i do n't know how i 'm ever supposed to trust you again . [ anita sighs ] you chose money over family . and the irony is , you could have had both . i was all set to share calvin 's estate with you . but instead , you and daryl have been plotting against me the whole time ? anita : baby , i was just trying to protect you . chelsea : stop , mom . i do n't want to hear it . just go . we 're done . billy : next one . [ clears throat ] what do you get when you cross an elephant and a fish ? swimming trunks . [ kids laugh ] see ? that was a good one , right ? victoria : hey , guys . i 've got yogurt parfait ! billy : there she is . victoria : who wants one ? johnny : me ! katie : me ! christian : me ! billy : who wants a parfait ? victoria : okay . here you go . what were you all laughing about so hard ? billy : oh , you know , digging into my trunk of elephant jokes . victoria : oh . billy : i got a million of them . victoria : yeah , i know . i know you do . so , are things going -- going well out here ? billy : everything is excellent . yeah , we 're having a good time . victoria : where 's the spoons ? billy : right there . victoria : oh , you know , if you need to get to the office , you can . nick texted me . he 's on his way . billy : you sure ? victoria : yeah , i 'm sure . billy : okay , cool . all right . i 'll do that . here you go . take these . and i 'm gon na take off , and i 'll see you guys later , all right ? victoria : okay . billy : have fun . victoria : bye . billy : bye . victoria : mwah ! what do you guys want to do after you 're done with the snack ? we could go on a playground . oh , i know . we can ride the carousel if you want , or we can walk over to the children 's museum . does that sound fun ? katie : yeah . christian : is it close ? phyllis : hey . do you have a minute to chat ? abby : are you serious right now ? the lunch rush is about to hit . phyllis : i just wanted to apologize for snapping at you this morning , that 's it . abby : yeah , yeah . as you should . but now is not a good time . phyllis : okay , i - i realize that i was wrong . and i just get a little protective when it comes to my daughter , and i should n't be . i mean , summer can clearly take care of herself . and i - i just did n't want that little bit of friction to create problems with us going forward . you know , 'cause i think that we 'd make an amazing team -- hey ! hi . abby : hi . hi , welcome . two for lunch ? amazing . um , joey . joey , can you please show these lovely people to table six ? thank you . enjoy . what part of `` i 'm busy right now `` is not registering with you ? phyllis : i 'm sorry . this is just very important . abby : oh , really ? well , was it important to you when you were being so hostile to me earlier ? yeah , it 's really given me second thoughts about partnering with you . phyllis : okay , well that 's -- that 's what i thought was gon na happen , and -- abby : see , i had thought that maybe you were gon na be able to put aside your resentment towards the abbotts . but clearly ya can't . phyllis : no , i can . abby : mm . phyllis : i can . i have so much respect for you . abby : [ scoffs ] respect ? yeah . so you do n't think i , uh , `` peaked too soon `` ? phyllis : heh ... you know what ? come on . that -- i -- i - i do n't even know why i said that . i do n't even mean it . abby : oh , is that a habit of yours , saying things that you do n't mean ? phyllis : no . i just overreacted . and i 'm upset at myself for doing it . honestly , i - i just want to work with you . i think that you are just so smart and gutsy , not to mention so incredibly creative , abby . in fact , i do n't think you 've gotten the respect you so richly deserve . abby : okay , this is really weird . what 's really going on ? victoria : honey , wait . hold on . i need to wipe your hands . they 're gon na be all sticky . hold on a second , babe . adam : hey , there , christian . how you doing , buddy ? do you remember me ? oh , no , hey , it 's okay . it 's okay . daddy probably looks scary right now . i got a little -- little bruise on my face . nick : hey , vick . what is it ? victoria : adam . he 's over there . he must have followed me . adam : let 's go have some fun , okay ? you want to go check out the merry - go- round ? wait ! christian ! wait , do n't run awa -- nick : hey ! leave him alone . victoria : johnny , come here . i 'll go get christian . adam : i had a visit scheduled , but victoria canceled it . nick : because she knows you were planning to go too far . adam : no , because she 's a conniving witch who has no intention of obeying a court order . nick : the judge never would have allowed a visit if he knew what you were planning to do . adam : nick , i 'm gon na say this -- and listen to me so you can get it through your thick skull -- christian deserves to know he 's my son . nick : did you tell him that again ? i ought to break you in half . adam : why do n't you try it , nick ? try it . see what happens . victoria : christian ? christian , where are you ? i ca n't find him . `` the young and the restless `` will continue . lola : okay , these should be cool enough to eat now . tell me what you think . [ exclaims ] wait , really ? that good ? rey : mmph . rey : better than good . i can taste the cinnamon . mmm ! mmm ! lola : yeah . mmm . rey : mmm ! lola : mom 's secret ingredient . rey : hmph . have you heard from her ? lola : not a word . i 've had to make peace with the fact that our mother may not come to my own wedding . rey : i know it hurts . lola : it 's awful . but i 've done all that i can , so ... rey : i feel like i 'm responsible . lola : what ? no . rey , why would you think that ? rey : because i insisted we not tell her about the transplant surgery . lola : [ sighs ] rey , please do n't put this on yourself . mom and i have had so many issues that have had nothing to do with my medical situation . i wanted to make my own decisions . be independent . so i pushed her away . she did n't feel welcome , so she left , okay , and that 's -- that 's on me . rey : well , look , look . there 's still time . she could -- she could change her mind . lola : yeah , i have n't completely given up hope . you know , kyle 's dad said that he would go to miami and try to get through to her . but i 'm still not gon na get my hopes up . rey : wow . well , that was kind of him to do that , but i would n't count on that salvaging things . if mom wo n't listen to her own kids , what are the chances jack abbott could persuade her ? lola : i mean , come on . you never know . mom has always had a soft spot for smooth talkers -- like our dad . rey : mm - hmm . and that is a silver lining . if she does n't come to the wedding , that means she does n't bring adrian as her plus - one . lola : oh , my god . rey : what ? lola : look at the return address . rey : `` adrian rosales . `` holy crap . we were literally just talking about him . lola : i know . can you believe it ? rey : after all this time , why would our father be writing to you ? [ door slams ] abby : how ? ! how do you run out of chicken ? how is that even possible ? phyllis : chicken ? excuse me ? abby : [ stammers ] someone in the kitchen -- you know what ? never mind . it 's handled . but what 's -- what 's the story here ? why are you being so freakishly nice to me ? phyllis : because i realized there 's a lot of truth to what you said this morning . i am very , very lucky to get the chance to work with you . but you should know that you 're very lucky to get the chance to work with me . abby : ugh . phyllis : i have the drive and determination to make the grand phoenix into an iconic hotel . you know that . and i think that together , abby , we can accomplish really great things . abby : i still think there 's more to this . phyllis : okay . [ sighs ] adam is furious with me because i did something really , really amazing for nick . i 'm sure you heard . abby : no . i haven't . but , no , all of this -- this is starting to make sense . adam fired you , did n't he ? phyllis : oh , no , no , no . abby : and you -- you are sucking up to me because you need a job . phyllis : okay , um , i did not get fired . i maneuvered myself out of a job . it 's a bit different . on purpose , i did that . abby : mm . phyllis : long story . anyway . [ sighs ] you should know this -- adam put the grand phoenix up for sale . so you know we 're out when some big chain comes along and buys it and turns it into some cookie - cutter business hotel . and this great idea you had for the lounge , all of our hard work developing this great idea , that 's out the window . unless ... you decide to buy it yourself . nick : son ! where are you ? christian ! elena : hey , nick . you okay ? nick : yeah , just looking for my son . something spooked him and he ran off . elena : can i help ? nick : yeah , please . elena : okay . nick : christian ! adam : christian ! christian ? i see you . christian : go away ! adam : you know , i 'm sorry that i scared you before . i was just really happy to see you , and i got a little too excited . does that ever happen to you ? you get too excited , too bouncy ? people have to tell you to calm down ? [ chuckles softly ] yeah . you 're kind of like me , then , huh ? hey , i brought the soccer ball with me . you want to play ? huh ? you been practicing that footwork i taught you last time ? well , that 's all right . we can just kick it around instead . you want to see a cool trick ? yeah ? look . all right , ready ? bah ! all right . you try . yeah ! oh ! yeah ! all right . kick a big -- big goal like last time . [ chuckles ] nice . christian : finally ! adam : nice job . nice job ! nick : christian ! where are you ? come out where i can see you ! adrian : dear lola , on the eve of your wedding , i am writing to wish you and kyle all the best as you start your new life together . your mother has expressed her concerns to me , but i do n't share them . i know rey and arturo , who are incredibly protective of you , would never have allowed you to get close to anyone who did n't deserve you . i have no doubt that your fiancé is very special , as it would take an exceptional young man to get past your brothers ' scrutiny . you should also know that celeste and i have decided not to reconcile , after all . some things just are n't meant to be . but before we went our separate ways , your mother informed me that you do n't want me at your wedding . i can understand why . i have never been the kind of father to you that i should have been . i have n't earned the right to walk you down the aisle . i accept that with a heavy heart at my own failings , and no bitterness toward you . whatever you decide is best , lolita , i will respect your wishes . however , it would give me great joy to be there to witness your happiness , and to dance at my daughter 's wedding . i hope you can find it in your heart to allow me that . but if not , know that i 'll be there in spirit . your loving father , adrian . rey : you okay ? lola : [ sniffles ] i honestly do n't know what to do with this . phyllis : abby , think about this . if you own the place , you do n't have to get anybody 's approval to put your best ideas to work . and , um ... i can run the day - to - day . it 's no big deal . abby : [ sighs ] phyllis : you could concentrate on what you do best -- the creative vision . abby : yeah , that sounds great . but there 's one big problem . i do n't trust you . yeah , you talk this big game . you did the same thing when you were c.e.o . at jabot , and look how that turned out . phyllis : oh , wait a second . great things happened when i was c.e.o . at jabot . namely , the launch of jaboutiques . and i will put the same buzz and energy into the grand phoenix . you know that . abby , come on . it 's what you want , too . abby : fine . i 'll buy the place from adam . and i might even keep you on as manager . under one condition . daryl : thank you , i know the way . ah ! hello , there . chelsea : daryl ? daryl : i 'm sorry to disturb you , but [ grunts ] housekeeper said , `` come on in , `` so i did . chelsea : what , uh -- what are you doing here ? daryl : [ chuckles ] anita told me to bring you these -- oh , ho -- as a peace offering . ha ! peace offering . [ laughs ] lola : so ? what do you think ? rey : that our dear papa has a lot of nerve . he is no position to be asking for any favors , lola , and you do n't owe him a damn thing . his estrangement from his children is the result of his own rotten choices . if he wanted things to be different , he should have -- should have chosen differently . lola : i agree . i told mom that if adrian showed up at the wedding , i would call it off and elope . and i meant it . rey : yeah . has that changed ? lola : you know , i 've learned how it feels to have someone you love shut you out completely . i mean , i have tried to call mom , rey , over and over and over again to apologize , but she does n't even pick up the phone . if i ignore this letter , am i doing the same thing ? rey : no , lola , there 's -- there 's no comparison . he had over 20 years to apologize . and , what , he gets in contact with you a few days before your wedding ? lola : i wonder what mom would want me to do ? you know , she did ask me to invite him to the wedding , but that was when it seemed like they were getting back together . and , well , it sounds like it 's fallen apart now , so ... rey : no surprise there . lola : if i let him come to the wedding when mom is n't there , is that gon na be a slap in the face to her ? rey : again , it 's all about choices . they have made theirs . now it 's up to you to make your own . it does n't matter what anyone else wants . this is your wedding , lola . so do you want adrian there or not ? abby : if you and i are gon na work together , you need to have some skin in the game . i ca n't be the only one taking a financial risk . if you have some sort of ownership stake in the enterprise -- let 's say 20 % -- i 'll know our interests are aligned . phyllis : great . i 'm all for it . abby : great . phyllis : i 'm gon na need some time to come up with the money . abby : you have one week . phyllis : oh , come on . abby , that 's a lot of money . abby : [ scoffs ] if you ca n't come up with it , i 'll find someone else to manage the hotel . someone with experience . and , most importantly , someone i can trust . those are my terms . take it or leave it . phyllis : i 'll come up with the money . abby : mm . super . once you have cash in hand , come find me . now i have to get back to work . daryl : there may be some confusion with the previous document -- chelsea : the fake one ? daryl : mm - hmm . but i think you 'll find the revise version more agreeable . my bequest now includes the contents of calvin 's storage unit , as well as the money that was previously transferred into my account . daryl : as well as the boca raton house , all its contents , and every vehicle . only thing it might exclude are the expenses incurred for the sale should you decide to put it on the market . chelsea : um ... thank you . daryl : my pleasure . chelsea : so , um ... this boatload of cash you just wheeled in here ... daryl : you might want to wash it once or twice , just to be safe . chelsea : this is so like my mother . daryl : [ laughs ] you have my card from my previous visit . feel free to call with any questions . chelsea : wha -- uh , daryl , hold on a sec . for you and my mother to share . daryl : how -- how thoughtful . chelsea : and i 'm gon na text anita about this , so do n't just go running off with it . daryl : how could you even think such a thing ? [ sighs ] this is ... oh , terribly , terribly generous of you , chelsea . thank you . chelsea : you 're welcome . safe travels . daryl : okay . mmm ! [ chuckles ] chelsea : bye . daryl : bye . chelsea : whew ... adam : we 're over here ! elena : hey ! is your name christian ? i think your daddy 's looking for you . nick : christian ? hey , buddy . christian : daddy ! nick : oh ! come here , man . ohh ! my man ! what you got there ? christian : a new ball . nick : oh , man . it 's a pretty good one . let 's see that thing . adam : yeah , christian 's fine . he was just playing hide - and - seek . nick : thank you so much for your help . elena : yeah , of course . i 'm glad it worked out okay . nick : all right . let 's go . adam : see ya , buddy . | phyllis talks to devon about helping her buy the grand phoenix hotel but he tells her he will not do business with her because he ca n't trust her . phyllis then goes to abby who agrees to buy the hotel and make her the manager but only if phyllis puts in a twenty percent stake . abby gives phyllis a week to give her the money or she will buy the hotel and find another manager . lola gets a heartwarming letter from her father and struggles with the decision of whether or not to invite him to the wedding . anita finally admits to chelsea that she and daryl calvin 's lawyer kept five million dollars from calvin 's off the books shady businesses . chelsea gets upset and tells anita to return to baton rouge . anita later sends daryl to return the money and chelsea is so touched that anita returned the money that she gives some of the money to daryl for he and anita to share . adam is upset that victoria told him christian had a fever but later sees christian in the park with nick , victoria , johnny , and katie . christian hides when he hears nick and adam arguing and adam finds him and returns him to nick and victoria . | <s>[INST] [ previously_on ] victoria : you say one more word to christian about being his father , and i will make sure you never have another visit with that child . adam : you ca n't block my access . phyllis : i need a little more time to get to the money together to buy the grand phoenix . adam : i offered the place to devon . phyllis : you did what ? chelsea : calvin was very generous to me in his will . i plan to pass along that generosity to you . how does $ 1 million sound ? anita : i do n't want your money . chelsea : excuse me ? celeste : every girl dreams of having her father walk her down the aisle . lola : the only father that i have ever known , he will be walking me down the aisle -- rey . celeste : lola , that -- lola : i am not gon na change my mind , mama . rey : i know you bake when you get anxious , so when you called asking to see if i would be a taste - tester ... well , lola , you would n't be the first bride who gets cold feet before the big wedding day . lola : cold feet ? rey , that 's hilarious . i mean , i am so excited , i can barely see straight . rey : yeah ? lola : yes . that 's why i 'm baking -- to calm myself down . rey : okay . well , is there anything i can do to help ? run some errands , make some phone calls , schlepp things from point `` a `` to point `` b `` ? lola : you 'll have to ask kyle . he 's in charge of all of that . except my wedding dress . rey : i know that 's what you said . i 'm just surprised you stuck to it . lola : really ? rey : my perfectionist kid sister let someone else plan her big wedding day ? i mean , the bachelor party went so great . what could possibly go wrong ? lola : oh , come on ! that was n't kyle 's fault . rey : i know . lola : look , rey ... our wedding day is every bit as important to him as it is to me . and i have total faith that my fiancé will come up with something incredibly gorgeous and romantic . phyllis : hi , elena . elena : hi . and bye . devon : going on your run ? elena : yeah . devon : yeah ? have a good time . elena : thanks . devon : so . [ sighs ] what brings you by ? phyllis : i hear you 're in talks to purchase the grand phoenix . i do n't understand . when i asked you for a loan , you gave me all the reasons why it would n't be feasible . what changed ? anita : i just heard connor stomp up to his room and slam the door . chelsea : [ sarcastically ] i 'm so sorry that he disturbed you . anita : oh , will you stop ? the poor guy 's really upset , and i have a good idea why . he knows you and adam are n't getting back together , and it breaks his little heart . chelsea : wow . such incredible insight , mom . or were you eavesdropping again ? anita : a - all right . the point is , you 've got a problem on your hands . and i 'd be happy to talk to him if you think it would help . chelsea : no , actually , i 'd rather you stay here so we can continue our conversation from the other day . anita : what conversation is that ? i - i do n't know what you 're referring to . chelsea : huh . well , let me refresh your memory -- i was saying i knew you were up to something , and you were on the verge of fessing up . anita : [ sighs ] [ cellphone chimes ] billy : is he answering ? victoria : something tells me that he 's gon na respond in person . billy : [ sighs ] well , when he does , we 'll be ready . additional sponsorship phyllis : so , why 'd you tell me that you were n't interested in the grand phoenix ? were you actually planning to make a deal with adam and cut me out of it ? devon : i think you know better than that . i do n't operate that way . phyllis : so enlighten me . devon : i 'd be happy to , phyllis . i turned you down because you brought me a lousy proposal . you had agreed to pay over - inflated prices on a risky project . it 's a brand - new hotel not connected to any established chain , run by someone with zero experience in the hospitality industry . phyllis : right . that someone is me ? devon : that someone is you , yes . and even though i was able to negotiate a better deal under market value , i 've decided to pass on the whole thing . phyllis : seriously ? devon : yes . i decided that the potential return on the investment does n't justify the amount of time i 'd have to put into the whole project . so ... phyllis : well -- well , why do n't you do this ? why do n't you just flip the building ? buy it from adam and then sell it to me and make a quick buck . i mean , the deal that you 're gon na give me is definitely gon na be better than adam 's . devon : did you win the lotto when i was n't looking ? phyllis : you 're right . i - i do n't have limitless funds , for sure , but -- devon : right . that 's why you came to me in the first place , so ... phyllis : right , right . you 're right . i would just -- i would give you a healthy -- a healthy sum , and you just -- you -- you -- you got to give me time -- devon : i 'm not interested . no . i 'm not . phyllis : okay , listen . listen , devon ... [ sighs ] this building is way more than just an investment to me . it 's my way to redeem myself in the eyes of everyone in this town . and i know you understand that , because i know you know about redemption , because a lot of neil 's life was about redemption , and i know that you 're trying to honor that right now . devon : all right . let 's slow down . 'cause it sounds to me like you 're trying to exploit my late father 's memory to make a buck , and that 'd be really disrespectful of you to do that . lola : you just ended things with sharon , and here i am going on and on about my wedding . rey : mnh - mnh . lola : rey , i 'm sorry if i 've been insensitive -- rey : no , no , no . do n't -- do n't do that . do n't , don't . i do n't want you going there . i do n't want you worrying about that stuff . seeing you this happy cheers me up beyond belief . lola : i 'm glad . rey : i 'll check in with kyle , see if there 's anything i can do to pitch in . lola : just so you do n't think i 'm a total lazy bones , you know , i actually am helping plan the honeymoon . rey : oh , yeah ? lola : yeah . kyle picked the location , and i have been appointed activity director . rey : ahh . where you headed ? lola : samoa . this really cool resort where everyone has their own little bungalow right on the beach . rey : wow . that 's nice . lola : i know ! and there 's a wonderful spa , and diving and snorkeling . and you can even rent a sailboat , rey ! and go deep - sea fishing . oh , my god , and the scenery , it just looks -- i mean , it looks fantastic . and the sunsets in the middle of the pacific -- [ sighs ] and the stars at night -- oh , my god . i mean , i can hardly even wait . you know kyle said he would take a cooking class with me ? what ? rey : i just -- when you were in the hospital , it -- it got to me ... how little of life you 'd had a chance to experience . now ... you 're gon na see some of the world . in style , no less . i love it . anita : before you go accusing me of anything , i suggest you think about all i have done for you . chelsea : yes , and i appreciate your support . so much so that i offered you a big chunk of my inheritance from calvin . anita : mm - hmm . chelsea : and yet you turned down the money , which is completely unlike you , and you have still yet to give me a believable explanation . anita : i just wanted to do the right thing . chelsea : aha ! exactly . and that is what set off the alarm bells for me . anita : you are always so quick to judge . chelsea : oh , enough with the guilt trips , mother . you have been pestering me about calvin 's will practically since the moment he took his last breath . and then all this money comes through , and nothing . no interest . you did n't even ask me how much i inherited . anita : i did n't need to ask . chelsea : because ? anita : calvin 's friend told me , daryl . chelsea : what ? so -- so much for attorney / client privilege . anita : does that still apply when your client 's dead and buried ? i was so relieved to find out that your husband had provided for you and connor . and that 's all i cared about . chelsea : you are so full of it . anita : hey , now . chelsea : i mean , come on , mom ! all of these denials are just making me more determined to figure out what your angle is , because i know damn well there is one . anita : think what you like . my conscience is clear . chelsea : okay . if you do n't want to spill , i 'll ask daryl . and if he does n't want to talk , i 'll hire a lawyer . i will start digging . i am not going to stop until i get some answers . anita : fine ! [ huffs ] you never could leave well enough alone , could you ? all right . the fact is that [ sighs ] calvin left me a little bequest of my own . chelsea : this makes no sense . calvin was civil to you , yes . but he had your number . he knew you were on the grift . so the idea of him remembering you in his will in any significant way -- anita : fine . he did n't technically leave me anything , but there are certain assets that i 've been safeguarding . chelsea : that you stole ? anita : what an ugly word . chelsea : i am so disappointed in you right now ! anita : now who 's laying on the guilt ? listen , kiddo , there are certain things that you must not have known about your husband 's business dealings . the fact of the matter is , calvin had some rather ... complicated enterprises . chelsea : go on . anita : daryl felt strongly that we should n't burden you with the convoluted details while you were in mourning . chelsea : oh , yeah . and naturally you agreed . anita : i am your mother . believe it or not , i try to look out for you . chelsea : okay , well , i 'm ready to be burdened with the details now , mom . so start talking . anita : while calvin 's business dealings were legit , there were some that weren't . they could have easily been misinterpreted by the authorities . chelsea : the irs ? fbi ? sec ? anita : all of them . calvin thought it would be more prudent to keep those particular transactions off the books , and the proceeds in a storage unit rather than a bank . and let me guess the rest . you and daryl confiscated the profits from calvin 's more questionable dealings , and you kept the cash for yourselves . so the documents you showed me were fake . anita : baby , i swear , we were only thinking of you and connor . chelsea : mm - hmm . whew ... anita : there were bound to be questions about your inheritance , especially with adam hinting to the cops that you had something to do with calvin 's death . we did n't want anything even the least bit shady around you . chelsea : how much did you take ? it had to be substantial . otherwise you would have taken the million dollars i offered you . anita : [ sighs ] i - i do n't know the exact figure . chelsea : okay , well , you know , just ballpark it for me . anita : it 's not like we stayed up all night in the storage locker with green eyeshades on , counting fat stacks of hundreds . chelsea : well , that 's a charming visual , mother . and i bet that 's exactly what you did ! anita : sweetheart -- chelsea : tell me the truth . stop hedging and tell me the truth . anita : [ sighs ] fine . the total off - the - books assets probably came to another $ 5 million or so , give or take . chelsea : you took half my husband 's estate ? anita : the dirty half ! the half that could have gotten you into some serious hot water if anybody paid close attention . [ huffs ] i took an incredible risk for you , for your sake . chelsea : no , you cheated your daughter and your grandson out of millions . [ scoffs ] wow . well , i really hope you enjoy splashing around in your fat stacks , mom , but you ca n't do it here . i want you out of my sight . phyllis : i was not trying to disrespect your father . um ... i 'm sorry if it sounded like that . i was not trying to manipulate you in any way . i just -- i wanted you to know how important this project was to me , that 's all . it has [ voice catches ] been a really tough year . i 've been through a lot . devon : i know you have . but if we 're being honest , phyllis , i think you brought a lot of it onto yourself . um ... and if i 'm being frank , i just do n't want to work with you . phyllis : what ? devon : you 're not on good terms with any of your previous employers , whether it be abbott or newman , and that says a whole lot to me when i work with somebody . phyllis : oh , no . wait , wait , wait , wait . let 's be fair -- i got caught up in all of their sibling rivalry . and that 's why it 's so important for me to get this project going and to give this hotel a go . i mean , i need it for my reputation , my credibility . and -- and i -- i just want you to know -- i want you to know , i will give this project everything i 've got . devon : i know . and i have no doubt that you would . but i literally do n't know another way to say this , but the answer is no . victoria : i do n't really understand what you 're doing here . did n't you get my text about christian ? he 's not feeling well . that 's why i canceled the visit . adam : well , i figured i 'd visit him here instead of in the park . could sit by his bedside , read him some stories , or watch a video together -- whatever he 's up to . victoria : well , at the moment , he 's not up to any of that . adam : how sick , uh , is he ? what 's wrong with him ? victoria : oh , with the fever that he has , he 's just wiped out . i checked on him a few minutes ago . he 's sleeping . billy : and imagine him waking up to your busted - up face . so come back tomorrow when he 's feeling better , and you do n't look like something the cat dragged in . adam : [ sighs ] i 'll be in touch later to , uh , reschedule . victoria : thank you for understanding . adam : mm - hmm . victoria : can you believe he actually took `` no `` for an answer ? billy : ca n't count on that continuing . every time we come up with an excuse for him not to see christian , he 's gon na feel it , and he 's gon na have michael run straight to the judge . victoria : look , i know it 's not a permanent solution . but it 's all that i could come up with . every day that i can keep adam from confusing my nephew feels like a victory . anita : well , i 'm ready to go back to baton rouge . but [ sighs ] i hope you 're gon na reconsider . chelsea : i do n't know how i 'm ever supposed to trust you again . [ anita sighs ] you chose money over family . and the irony is , you could have had both . i was all set to share calvin 's estate with you . but instead , you and daryl have been plotting against me the whole time ? anita : baby , i was just trying to protect you . chelsea : stop , mom . i do n't want to hear it . just go . we 're done . billy : next one . [ clears throat ] what do you get when you cross an elephant and a fish ? swimming trunks . [ kids laugh ] see ? that was a good one , right ? victoria : hey , guys . i 've got yogurt parfait ! billy : there she is . victoria : who wants one ? johnny : me ! katie : me ! christian : me ! billy : who wants a parfait ? victoria : okay . here you go . what were you all laughing about so hard ? billy : oh , you know , digging into my trunk of elephant jokes . victoria : oh . billy : i got a million of them . victoria : yeah , i know . i know you do . so , are things going -- going well out here ? billy : everything is excellent . yeah , we 're having a good time . victoria : where 's the spoons ? billy : right there . victoria : oh , you know , if you need to get to the office , you can . nick texted me . he 's on his way . billy : you sure ? victoria : yeah , i 'm sure . billy : okay , cool . all right . i 'll do that . here you go . take these . and i 'm gon na take off , and i 'll see you guys later , all right ? victoria : okay . billy : have fun . victoria : bye . billy : bye . victoria : mwah ! what do you guys want to do after you 're done with the snack ? we could go on a playground . oh , i know . we can ride the carousel if you want , or we can walk over to the children 's museum . does that sound fun ? katie : yeah . christian : is it close ? phyllis : hey . do you have a minute to chat ? abby : are you serious right now ? the lunch rush is about to hit . phyllis : i just wanted to apologize for snapping at you this morning , that 's it . abby : yeah , yeah . as you should . but now is not a good time . phyllis : okay , i - i realize that i was wrong . and i just get a little protective when it comes to my daughter , and i should n't be . i mean , summer can clearly take care of herself . and i - i just did n't want that little bit of friction to create problems with us going forward . you know , 'cause i think that we 'd make an amazing team -- hey ! hi . abby : hi . hi , welcome . two for lunch ? amazing . um , joey . joey , can you please show these lovely people to table six ? thank you . enjoy . what part of `` i 'm busy right now `` is not registering with you ? phyllis : i 'm sorry . this is just very important . abby : oh , really ? well , was it important to you when you were being so hostile to me earlier ? yeah , it 's really given me second thoughts about partnering with you . phyllis : okay , well that 's -- that 's what i thought was gon na happen , and -- abby : see , i had thought that maybe you were gon na be able to put aside your resentment towards the abbotts . but clearly ya can't . phyllis : no , i can . abby : mm . phyllis : i can . i have so much respect for you . abby : [ scoffs ] respect ? yeah . so you do n't think i , uh , `` peaked too soon `` ? phyllis : heh ... you know what ? come on . that -- i -- i - i do n't even know why i said that . i do n't even mean it . abby : oh , is that a habit of yours , saying things that you do n't mean ? phyllis : no . i just overreacted . and i 'm upset at myself for doing it . honestly , i - i just want to work with you . i think that you are just so smart and gutsy , not to mention so incredibly creative , abby . in fact , i do n't think you 've gotten the respect you so richly deserve . abby : okay , this is really weird . what 's really going on ? victoria : honey , wait . hold on . i need to wipe your hands . they 're gon na be all sticky . hold on a second , babe . adam : hey , there , christian . how you doing , buddy ? do you remember me ? oh , no , hey , it 's okay . it 's okay . daddy probably looks scary right now . i got a little -- little bruise on my face . nick : hey , vick . what is it ? victoria : adam . he 's over there . he must have followed me . adam : let 's go have some fun , okay ? you want to go check out the merry - go- round ? wait ! christian ! wait , do n't run awa -- nick : hey ! leave him alone . victoria : johnny , come here . i 'll go get christian . adam : i had a visit scheduled , but victoria canceled it . nick : because she knows you were planning to go too far . adam : no , because she 's a conniving witch who has no intention of obeying a court order . nick : the judge never would have allowed a visit if he knew what you were planning to do . adam : nick , i 'm gon na say this -- and listen to me so you can get it through your thick skull -- christian deserves to know he 's my son . nick : did you tell him that again ? i ought to break you in half . adam : why do n't you try it , nick ? try it . see what happens . victoria : christian ? christian , where are you ? i ca n't find him . `` the young and the restless `` will continue . lola : okay , these should be cool enough to eat now . tell me what you think . [ exclaims ] wait , really ? that good ? rey : mmph . rey : better than good . i can taste the cinnamon . mmm ! mmm ! lola : yeah . mmm . rey : mmm ! lola : mom 's secret ingredient . rey : hmph . have you heard from her ? lola : not a word . i 've had to make peace with the fact that our mother may not come to my own wedding . rey : i know it hurts . lola : it 's awful . but i 've done all that i can , so ... rey : i feel like i 'm responsible . lola : what ? no . rey , why would you think that ? rey : because i insisted we not tell her about the transplant surgery . lola : [ sighs ] rey , please do n't put this on yourself . mom and i have had so many issues that have had nothing to do with my medical situation . i wanted to make my own decisions . be independent . so i pushed her away . she did n't feel welcome , so she left , okay , and that 's -- that 's on me . rey : well , look , look . there 's still time . she could -- she could change her mind . lola : yeah , i have n't completely given up hope . you know , kyle 's dad said that he would go to miami and try to get through to her . but i 'm still not gon na get my hopes up . rey : wow . well , that was kind of him to do that , but i would n't count on that salvaging things . if mom wo n't listen to her own kids , what are the chances jack abbott could persuade her ? lola : i mean , come on . you never know . mom has always had a soft spot for smooth talkers -- like our dad . rey : mm - hmm . and that is a silver lining . if she does n't come to the wedding , that means she does n't bring adrian as her plus - one . lola : oh , my god . rey : what ? lola : look at the return address . rey : `` adrian rosales . `` holy crap . we were literally just talking about him . lola : i know . can you believe it ? rey : after all this time , why would our father be writing to you ? [ door slams ] abby : how ? ! how do you run out of chicken ? how is that even possible ? phyllis : chicken ? excuse me ? abby : [ stammers ] someone in the kitchen -- you know what ? never mind . it 's handled . but what 's -- what 's the story here ? why are you being so freakishly nice to me ? phyllis : because i realized there 's a lot of truth to what you said this morning . i am very , very lucky to get the chance to work with you . but you should know that you 're very lucky to get the chance to work with me . abby : ugh . phyllis : i have the drive and determination to make the grand phoenix into an iconic hotel . you know that . and i think that together , abby , we can accomplish really great things . abby : i still think there 's more to this . phyllis : okay . [ sighs ] adam is furious with me because i did something really , really amazing for nick . i 'm sure you heard . abby : no . i haven't . but , no , all of this -- this is starting to make sense . adam fired you , did n't he ? phyllis : oh , no , no , no . abby : and you -- you are sucking up to me because you need a job . phyllis : okay , um , i did not get fired . i maneuvered myself out of a job . it 's a bit different . on purpose , i did that . abby : mm . phyllis : long story . anyway . [ sighs ] you should know this -- adam put the grand phoenix up for sale . so you know we 're out when some big chain comes along and buys it and turns it into some cookie - cutter business hotel . and this great idea you had for the lounge , all of our hard work developing this great idea , that 's out the window . unless ... you decide to buy it yourself . nick : son ! where are you ? christian ! elena : hey , nick . you okay ? nick : yeah , just looking for my son . something spooked him and he ran off . elena : can i help ? nick : yeah , please . elena : okay . nick : christian ! adam : christian ! christian ? i see you . christian : go away ! adam : you know , i 'm sorry that i scared you before . i was just really happy to see you , and i got a little too excited . does that ever happen to you ? you get too excited , too bouncy ? people have to tell you to calm down ? [ chuckles softly ] yeah . you 're kind of like me , then , huh ? hey , i brought the soccer ball with me . you want to play ? huh ? you been practicing that footwork i taught you last time ? well , that 's all right . we can just kick it around instead . you want to see a cool trick ? yeah ? look . all right , ready ? bah ! all right . you try . yeah ! oh ! yeah ! all right . kick a big -- big goal like last time . [ chuckles ] nice . christian : finally ! adam : nice job . nice job ! nick : christian ! where are you ? come out where i can see you ! adrian : dear lola , on the eve of your wedding , i am writing to wish you and kyle all the best as you start your new life together . your mother has expressed her concerns to me , but i do n't share them . i know rey and arturo , who are incredibly protective of you , would never have allowed you to get close to anyone who did n't deserve you . i have no doubt that your fiancé is very special , as it would take an exceptional young man to get past your brothers ' scrutiny . you should also know that celeste and i have decided not to reconcile , after all . some things just are n't meant to be . but before we went our separate ways , your mother informed me that you do n't want me at your wedding . i can understand why . i have never been the kind of father to you that i should have been . i have n't earned the right to walk you down the aisle . i accept that with a heavy heart at my own failings , and no bitterness toward you . whatever you decide is best , lolita , i will respect your wishes . however , it would give me great joy to be there to witness your happiness , and to dance at my daughter 's wedding . i hope you can find it in your heart to allow me that . but if not , know that i 'll be there in spirit . your loving father , adrian . rey : you okay ? lola : [ sniffles ] i honestly do n't know what to do with this . phyllis : abby , think about this . if you own the place , you do n't have to get anybody 's approval to put your best ideas to work . and , um ... i can run the day - to - day . it 's no big deal . abby : [ sighs ] phyllis : you could concentrate on what you do best -- the creative vision . abby : yeah , that sounds great . but there 's one big problem . i do n't trust you . yeah , you talk this big game . you did the same thing when you were c.e.o . at jabot , and look how that turned out . phyllis : oh , wait a second . great things happened when i was c.e.o . at jabot . namely , the launch of jaboutiques . and i will put the same buzz and energy into the grand phoenix . you know that . abby , come on . it 's what you want , too . abby : fine . i 'll buy the place from adam . and i might even keep you on as manager . under one condition . daryl : thank you , i know the way . ah ! hello , there . chelsea : daryl ? daryl : i 'm sorry to disturb you , but [ grunts ] housekeeper said , `` come on in , `` so i did . chelsea : what , uh -- what are you doing here ? daryl : [ chuckles ] anita told me to bring you these -- oh , ho -- as a peace offering . ha ! peace offering . [ laughs ] lola : so ? what do you think ? rey : that our dear papa has a lot of nerve . he is no position to be asking for any favors , lola , and you do n't owe him a damn thing . his estrangement from his children is the result of his own rotten choices . if he wanted things to be different , he should have -- should have chosen differently . lola : i agree . i told mom that if adrian showed up at the wedding , i would call it off and elope . and i meant it . rey : yeah . has that changed ? lola : you know , i 've learned how it feels to have someone you love shut you out completely . i mean , i have tried to call mom , rey , over and over and over again to apologize , but she does n't even pick up the phone . if i ignore this letter , am i doing the same thing ? rey : no , lola , there 's -- there 's no comparison . he had over 20 years to apologize . and , what , he gets in contact with you a few days before your wedding ? lola : i wonder what mom would want me to do ? you know , she did ask me to invite him to the wedding , but that was when it seemed like they were getting back together . and , well , it sounds like it 's fallen apart now , so ... rey : no surprise there . lola : if i let him come to the wedding when mom is n't there , is that gon na be a slap in the face to her ? rey : again , it 's all about choices . they have made theirs . now it 's up to you to make your own . it does n't matter what anyone else wants . this is your wedding , lola . so do you want adrian there or not ? abby : if you and i are gon na work together , you need to have some skin in the game . i ca n't be the only one taking a financial risk . if you have some sort of ownership stake in the enterprise -- let 's say 20 % -- i 'll know our interests are aligned . phyllis : great . i 'm all for it . abby : great . phyllis : i 'm gon na need some time to come up with the money . abby : you have one week . phyllis : oh , come on . abby , that 's a lot of money . abby : [ scoffs ] if you ca n't come up with it , i 'll find someone else to manage the hotel . someone with experience . and , most importantly , someone i can trust . those are my terms . take it or leave it . phyllis : i 'll come up with the money . abby : mm . super . once you have cash in hand , come find me . now i have to get back to work . daryl : there may be some confusion with the previous document -- chelsea : the fake one ? daryl : mm - hmm . but i think you 'll find the revise version more agreeable . my bequest now includes the contents of calvin 's storage unit , as well as the money that was previously transferred into my account . daryl : as well as the boca raton house , all its contents , and every vehicle . only thing it might exclude are the expenses incurred for the sale should you decide to put it on the market . chelsea : um ... thank you . daryl : my pleasure . chelsea : so , um ... this boatload of cash you just wheeled in here ... daryl : you might want to wash it once or twice , just to be safe . chelsea : this is so like my mother . daryl : [ laughs ] you have my card from my previous visit . feel free to call with any questions . chelsea : wha -- uh , daryl , hold on a sec . for you and my mother to share . daryl : how -- how thoughtful . chelsea : and i 'm gon na text anita about this , so do n't just go running off with it . daryl : how could you even think such a thing ? [ sighs ] this is ... oh , terribly , terribly generous of you , chelsea . thank you . chelsea : you 're welcome . safe travels . daryl : okay . mmm ! [ chuckles ] chelsea : bye . daryl : bye . chelsea : whew ... adam : we 're over here ! elena : hey ! is your name christian ? i think your daddy 's looking for you . nick : christian ? hey , buddy . christian : daddy ! nick : oh ! come here , man . ohh ! my man ! what you got there ? christian : a new ball . nick : oh , man . it 's a pretty good one . let 's see that thing . adam : yeah , christian 's fine . he was just playing hide - and - seek . nick : thank you so much for your help . elena : yeah , of course . i 'm glad it worked out okay . nick : all right . let 's go . adam : see ya , buddy .Summarize.[/INST]phyllis talks to devon about helping her buy the grand phoenix hotel but he tells her he will not do business with her because he ca n't trust her . phyllis then goes to abby who agrees to buy the hotel and make her the manager but only if phyllis puts in a twenty percent stake . abby gives phyllis a week to give her the money or she will buy the hotel and find another manager . lola gets a heartwarming letter from her father and struggles with the decision of whether or not to invite him to the wedding . anita finally admits to chelsea that she and daryl calvin 's lawyer kept five million dollars from calvin 's off the books shady businesses . chelsea gets upset and tells anita to return to baton rouge . anita later sends daryl to return the money and chelsea is so touched that anita returned the money that she gives some of the money to daryl for he and anita to share . adam is upset that victoria told him christian had a fever but later sees christian in the park with nick , victoria , johnny , and katie . christian hides when he hears nick and adam arguing and adam finds him and returns him to nick and victoria .</s> | 17,803 |

[ scene_break ] michael : i have n't talked to the police . all i know about the shooting is what i 've heard from morgan . carly : morgan ? how does morgan know anything about this ? michael : uh ... aj was found at ava 's . carly : ava 's ? michael : yeah . morgan stopped by there and said there was police everywhere , and they said there was a shooting and that aj was the victim . carly : what would aj be doing with ava jerome ? michael : i - i do n't know . i do n't know . there 's something else , though . there was a break - in at the quartermaines yesterday . tracy thought it was a robbery gone wrong , but aj said that the intruder was trying to kill him . and then a few hours later , he was shot . carly : okay , wow . i mean , someone 's really trying to kill aj . i mean ... michael : i have n't even talked to aj after i found out about the break - in , he was n't answering his cell phone . and tracy said that he thought that dad sent the person to kill him . carly : michael , you do n't think sonny was behind this , do you ? michael : no , no , no . he was n't . carly : no . no , of course not . [ chuckles ] well , i do n't want you worrying about this , okay ? why do n't you let the police handle it ? michael : police ? since when do you have faith in the police ? carly : well , i do n't have a lot of faith in the police , but it is their job , and , you know , you need to be here for aj . and why are you handling this all by yourself ? where 's monica ? michael : i - i do n't know . i 've been trying to get in touch with her , but she 's not answering her phone . [ scene_break ] tracy : you need to back off . luke : she 's trying to talk you out of marrying me . what am i supposed to do , say , `` thank you , ma'am . give me another kick `` ? tracy : luke , her son is missing . luke : he 's a drunk on a bender . why is it such a big damn deal ? tracy : because he 's family and he 's in trouble , and why do n't you try being a grown - up for once ? monica , listen ... monica : i 've got to find my son . [ cell phone rings ] monica : michael ? michael : yeah , i 'm glad you picked up . i 've been trying to reach you . monica : i know . i 'm so sorry . i 've been incommunicado . the battery died on my phone . did you find aj ? michael : yeah , uh ... grandma , you 'd better sit down . [ scene_break ] carly : so , uh ... how are you doing ? i mean , i know you and aj were n't seeing each other anymore , but still ... elizabeth : it helps that i have a job to do . carly : well , michael appreciates everything you 're doing for him . i have to say , if the positions were reversed , i do n't think i 'd be so generous . elizabeth : well , i 'm trying . i 've got to say , the past 24 hours has been one surreal event after another . first ric shows up , then this happens to aj . carly : ric lansing ? [ scene_break ] alexis : oh , so you went to see elizabeth . ric : she 's the only other ex - wife i have . alexis : all right , listen . i do n't know if you know this , but she has had a horrendous last five years . she lost her son , jason died , lucky left her , and as resilient as elizabeth is , she does n't need another heartache . so you might be doing her a big favor if you just left her alone . ric : whatever time i choose to spend with elizabeth is mine and mine alone , okay ? alexis : okay , i get it . i get it . i wo n't bring it up again . now , are you gon na defend julian or not ? because i really need to know . ric : okay , okay . just hold on a second , here . why does he need you to get him a lawyer ? does n't he have an entire brigade of attorneys ? alexis : well , probably so . but for some reason , he just trusts me . ric : oh , i think we both know what that reason is . [ sighs ] alexis : out of all the lawyers he knows , i am the most experienced to navigate port charles ' idiosyncratic justice system . ric : okay . okay , that 's fair enough . but next question -- why do you care , huh ? what vested interest do you have in seeing this man go free ? for god sakes , alexis , you had -- you had a one - night stand with this guy in the back of a ford pinto -- alexis : camaro ! ric : sorry , camaro -- when you were a teenager . you do n't owe this man a thing . alexis : he is sam 's father . that is all the explanation you are going to get . are you gon na defend him ? ric : how strong is the case against him ? alexis : he has an alibi . he wo n't give me a name , but maybe he 'll give it to you . [ scene_break ] carlos : look , boss , i know you 're in trouble , and i 'm gon na do whatever i can to get you out of it . julian : i know . i know . carlos : i do n't know if me going after ava is the best way to get you out of here . julian : [ sighs ] look , ava 's always had a soft spot for you . when she sees you , she gets this look in her eyes like you 're some kind of a lost shelter dog that she wants to rescue . so you use that . you get her to , you know , open up . you finesse her into admitting that she shot aj , and then , while you 're at it , find out why . [ scene_break ] anna : we 're exploring a number of potential suspects . naturally , julian is amongst them , given the fact that he lives with his sister at the crime scene . do you know of any reason that julian would want to hurt aj ? morgan : no . anna : okay . so , when you worked for the jeromes , were there any business dealings between julian and aj ? morgan : no , but , you know , julian did n't exactly keep me up to speed on his business . guy did n't like me very much . anna : oh . so , then , you would n't know one way or the other if they had any issues ? morgan : right . yeah . they could hate each other , they could be best friends -- i do n't really know . all i can tell you is that ava did n't do it . anna : all right . what about sonny ? [ scene_break ] duke : so , what you 're saying is that you need an alibi ? sonny : we just need to get our facts straight . shawn : you know , just in case anyone asks where sonny was . duke : `` anyone `` being the police , for example ? well , what is the likelihood of the police questioning me ? sonny : well , the police are gon na ask me , and they 'll want to verify what i tell them . and whoever 's with me is gon na , you know -- they 're gon na have to back me up . whoever asks . even your girlfriend . duke : i see . sonny : i just need to know that we 're on the same page . if anna comes to you , you know , and asks you if you were with me , can i count on you to say yes ? [ scene_break ] morgan : wait , so , first ava 's a suspect , then julian , and now my father 's a suspect ? anna : they 're all persons of interest . but of the three , sonny is the one with the most extensively documented hatred of aj , especially after he was acquitted of murdering connie . morgan : right , which is why he would n't do it , because it 's way too obvious . not to mention , he promised michael that he would n't hurt him . anna : oh , he promised him ? yeah , i see . no , so , when was the last time you saw your father ? morgan : a few hours ago . i went to tell him what happened to aj . anna : and then , before the shooting , do you know how he spent his day ? morgan : i do n't know . you 'd have to ask him yourself . anna : i will . i 'll do that . morgan : okay . can i go now ? anna : yeah , you may . morgan : thank you . [ scene_break ] duke : so , if i am going to vouch for you , would n't it be better if i had some knowledge of the incident that 's going to elicit inquiries from the authorities ? shawn : we think it 's best you do n't know . you know , that way when anna or one of her detectives asks you questions -- duke : it wo n't appear as if i 've been rehearsed . sonny : shawn . give me a minute , will you ? i know i 've asked a lot of you , duke . duke : no , you asked me to lie to anna , and she caught me in the lie . we 've barely recovered from that -- barely . now what you 're asking me to do is to lie in a police matter . sonny : this is not about just helping me out of a jam . you do this for me , we will take down our enemy . duke : so , i lie to anna in service of destroying jerome . sonny : you just -- i just want you to think about it , okay ? let me know . i hope i can count on you .

[ scene_break ] michael : i have n't talked to the police . all i know about the shooting is what i 've heard from morgan . carly : morgan ? how does morgan know anything about this ? michael : uh ... aj was found at ava 's . carly : ava 's ? michael : yeah . morgan stopped by there and said there was police everywhere , and they said there was a shooting and that aj was the victim . carly : what would aj be doing with ava jerome ? michael : i - i do n't know . i do n't know . there 's something else , though . there was a break - in at the quartermaines yesterday . tracy thought it was a robbery gone wrong , but aj said that the intruder was trying to kill him . and then a few hours later , he was shot . carly : okay , wow . i mean , someone 's really trying to kill aj . i mean ... michael : i have n't even talked to aj after i found out about the break - in , he was n't answering his cell phone . and tracy said that he thought that dad sent the person to kill him . carly : michael , you do n't think sonny was behind this , do you ? michael : no , no , no . he was n't . carly : no . no , of course not . [ chuckles ] well , i do n't want you worrying about this , okay ? why do n't you let the police handle it ? michael : police ? since when do you have faith in the police ? carly : well , i do n't have a lot of faith in the police , but it is their job , and , you know , you need to be here for aj . and why are you handling this all by yourself ? where 's monica ? michael : i - i do n't know . i 've been trying to get in touch with her , but she 's not answering her phone . [ scene_break ] tracy : you need to back off . luke : she 's trying to talk you out of marrying me . what am i supposed to do , say , `` thank you , ma'am . give me another kick `` ? tracy : luke , her son is missing . luke : he 's a drunk on a bender . why is it such a big damn deal ? tracy : because he 's family and he 's in trouble , and why do n't you try being a grown - up for once ? monica , listen ... monica : i 've got to find my son . [ cell phone rings ] monica : michael ? michael : yeah , i 'm glad you picked up . i 've been trying to reach you . monica : i know . i 'm so sorry . i 've been incommunicado . the battery died on my phone . did you find aj ? michael : yeah , uh ... grandma , you 'd better sit down . [ scene_break ] carly : so , uh ... how are you doing ? i mean , i know you and aj were n't seeing each other anymore , but still ... elizabeth : it helps that i have a job to do . carly : well , michael appreciates everything you 're doing for him . i have to say , if the positions were reversed , i do n't think i 'd be so generous . elizabeth : well , i 'm trying . i 've got to say , the past 24 hours has been one surreal event after another . first ric shows up , then this happens to aj . carly : ric lansing ? [ scene_break ] alexis : oh , so you went to see elizabeth . ric : she 's the only other ex - wife i have . alexis : all right , listen . i do n't know if you know this , but she has had a horrendous last five years . she lost her son , jason died , lucky left her , and as resilient as elizabeth is , she does n't need another heartache . so you might be doing her a big favor if you just left her alone . ric : whatever time i choose to spend with elizabeth is mine and mine alone , okay ? alexis : okay , i get it . i get it . i wo n't bring it up again . now , are you gon na defend julian or not ? because i really need to know . ric : okay , okay . just hold on a second , here . why does he need you to get him a lawyer ? does n't he have an entire brigade of attorneys ? alexis : well , probably so . but for some reason , he just trusts me . ric : oh , i think we both know what that reason is . [ sighs ] alexis : out of all the lawyers he knows , i am the most experienced to navigate port charles ' idiosyncratic justice system . ric : okay . okay , that 's fair enough . but next question -- why do you care , huh ? what vested interest do you have in seeing this man go free ? for god sakes , alexis , you had -- you had a one - night stand with this guy in the back of a ford pinto -- alexis : camaro ! ric : sorry , camaro -- when you were a teenager . you do n't owe this man a thing . alexis : he is sam 's father . that is all the explanation you are going to get . are you gon na defend him ? ric : how strong is the case against him ? alexis : he has an alibi . he wo n't give me a name , but maybe he 'll give it to you . [ scene_break ] carlos : look , boss , i know you 're in trouble , and i 'm gon na do whatever i can to get you out of it . julian : i know . i know . carlos : i do n't know if me going after ava is the best way to get you out of here . julian : [ sighs ] look , ava 's always had a soft spot for you . when she sees you , she gets this look in her eyes like you 're some kind of a lost shelter dog that she wants to rescue . so you use that . you get her to , you know , open up . you finesse her into admitting that she shot aj , and then , while you 're at it , find out why . [ scene_break ] anna : we 're exploring a number of potential suspects . naturally , julian is amongst them , given the fact that he lives with his sister at the crime scene . do you know of any reason that julian would want to hurt aj ? morgan : no . anna : okay . so , when you worked for the jeromes , were there any business dealings between julian and aj ? morgan : no , but , you know , julian did n't exactly keep me up to speed on his business . guy did n't like me very much . anna : oh . so , then , you would n't know one way or the other if they had any issues ? morgan : right . yeah . they could hate each other , they could be best friends -- i do n't really know . all i can tell you is that ava did n't do it . anna : all right . what about sonny ?

[ scene_break ] kate : i am not put up to things , nick , not by sami , not by will . all i 'm trying to do is look out for the best interests of my grandson . gabi : well , i do n't think that it 's right for you to try to slip something like that past me . kate : sweetie , if you do n't agree with what 's in that paragraph , we 'll just strike it right out . gabi : look , i just -- i felt like i could trust you , and you told me that there was nothing to worry about . kate : there 's nothing to worry about . there 's nothing to worry about as long as you hold up your end of the bargain and allow will to have time with his baby . gabi : i will , but i just do n't think i have to sign a contract just because you tell me to sign it . and it feels like you 're the one that does n't trust me . kate : no , that 's not true . i do trust you , and i think you intend to do the right thing . the one i 'm worried about is nick , whether your husband 's going to allow that . rafe : allow what ? [ scene_break ] ej : you sure i ca n't get you a drink ? sonny : yeah , positive . ej : [ chuckles ] man of principles , huh ? man of standards . sonny : some . ej : you do n't like talking to me , do you ? in this house . sonny : no , not really . ej : [ sighs ] well , i 'm glad you did . it gives us an opportunity to continue the conversation that we started a few days ago . i assume that 's why you 're here . you wanted to talk about helping william . sonny : in that conversation , you did talk about helping will , but you also talked about squashing nick fallon like a bug . ej : that bothers you , does it ? sonny : it bothers me that i want to . and without going over the extensive list of reasons , i have never detested anyone like i detest him . ej : oh , you do n't need to go over a list of reasons . when nick pulled that blackmail stunt in the hospital , that was enough to put him firmly in my crosshairs . oh , you have a moral dilemma . there 's a part of you that really wants to help william , and there is a part of you that is worried . you 're worried that your motivations are to get back at nick . sonny : i just do n't think it 's a good idea to enjoy hurting someone . ej : why ? we 're human , right ? i mean , is there something wrong with being human ? look , sonny ... [ clears throat ] whatever happens to nick fallon is what he deserves . now , i gave him fair warning . all you 're trying to do is help somebody you love , and i know you love william very much , right ? how could that possibly not be a good thing ? sonny : you just ... [ sighs ] you just do n't know what all this is doing to him . the reason i came here is because i wan na help , and i know how . nick and gabi are staying at my uncle victor 's house . you ca n't exactly drop in . but i can . and i wan na go in nick 's room and check it out . i do wan na help squash him like a bug . ej : good man . good man . [ scene_break ] sami : you seem very quiet . will : oh , i 'm just thinking . um , you know , you just moved into the mansion , and you kinda seem different already . sami : will , i am doing it for you . will : oh , i know , i know . um , why is ej doing it , though ? and why does -- why did he move you into that house ? sami : he wants to help you . will : i 'm sure that 's what he wants it to look like . but you really think that 's his only motive ? sami : obviously you do n't . will : no , i do n't . i think there 's something definitely going on . sami : like what ? [ scene_break ] laura : so you ended it ? honey , your heart 's breaking . i mean , the obvious question is , why would you do that ? jennifer : [ sighs ] laura : every email that i 've gotten from abigail , she 's been so happy about you and -- and ... jennifer : daniel . his name is daniel , and it 's -- it 's just -- it 's complicated . laura : so it would seem . i mean , why else would you dump a guy who seems to make you very happy ? jennifer : i did n't want to break up with him . laura : all right . so once again , why did you ? jennifer : because i had to . [ scene_break ] daniel : are you sure sister annabel does n't mind watching parker ? nicole : she 's thrilled . she loves kids . daniel : okay . so what -- what -- what 's going on ? nicole : first of all , i -- i heard that you and jennifer broke up , and i just want you to know i 'm really , really sorry . daniel : okay , i really do n't wan na talk about that , especially with -- nicole : okay . daniel : okay . nicole : i can see that . daniel : yeah . so -- so now , what is this about chloe ? nicole : okay , i 'll get to chloe in a second . i -- first , we really need to talk about j -- um , i need to talk to you about jennifer . i did n't -- i did n't want to believe this . in fact , i drove myself crazy trying not to believe it , but i see it now . i see that -- that you and jennifer belong together . she makes you happy , and that is all i 've ever wanted for you . you deserve that . daniel : well , that could n't have been easy for you to say . but really , it 's a moot point 'cause jennifer and i , we 're over . it 's -- it 's -- no , no , if you do n't believe me , trust me . you go ask her . nicole : i did n't just hear that you and jennifer broke up . it 's how you broke up . publicly in the hospital ? she said terrible things to you ? daniel : okay , really , nicole ? i -- i was there , i remember . nicole : i know , but did n't it seem a little un - jennifer to you ? daniel : all right , look , this has just been a really , really strange , rough day . could you please , please just tell me what you have to say about chloe ? [ scene_break ] will : well , we are talking about ej , and , um , i do n't know what he 's up to , but i do think that he 's up to something . sami : why all of a sudden does it sound like you are not happy about me and ej being together ? will : i am , i n -- i never said that . um , if i did say that , i could certainly draw on some personal history to back it up . sami : ej and i have changed . will : yeah , do you think maybe he 's just making you think that he 's changed ? sami : now you are delving into my very , very personal ... will : yeah . sami : life . will : yeah , we never do that . that 's not how we roll . sami : [ chuckles ] i hate it when you make a good point . will : listen , um ... i was at the mansion , and stefano came in , and i saw this weird ... look on ej 's face , and i ca n't put my finger on it , but i know that there is something else going on . [ scene_break ] kate : we were just talking about will and his relationship to the baby , you know , after she 's born . rafe : oh , yeah ? kate : you know . and what a positive thing it 's going to be , not just for will , but really for gabi and nick too . nick : hmm . kate : yeah . you know , i think in the midst of everything , you 've forgotten that you 're newlyweds , and newlyweds really do need time together alone . you know , and now you 're going to be able to go out , and you can leave arianna with will and with sonny . you could even take that long - delayed honeymoon , and you 'll be leaving the baby with -- with two people who really love her completely and will take such good care of her . nick : wow , that 's -- that 's amazing . she 's -- she 's always thinking of others . really amazing . rafe : you have a problem with that ? nick : it 's not my place to have problems . i am 100 % fine with all custody decisions that gabi makes , and i support her 100 % . rafe : okay . then what 's the problem ? nick : the problem is that kate is trying to force gabi into signing this . that 's the problem . rafe : what -- what 's this ? kate : it 's really -- it 's really nothing , and it 's really not important and -- rafe : the hell it is n't . [ scene_break ] laura : okay , so i guess i could try to guess why you feel you had to break up with daniel . it 's jack , is n't it ? honey , i mean , do you feel like you 're betraying his memory by moving on ? jennifer : yeah . yeah , that 's it . laura : jack 's gone . and you clearly have very strong feelings for this daniel . jennifer : yeah , i - i do . i have some feelings , you know , but he could never replace jack . laura : oh , honey , of course not . but that does n't mean you have to kick him out of your life . god knows jack had his flaws . but when it came to loving you , he was pretty selfless . he would never want you to spend the rest of your life mourning him , and he would never want you to use him as an excuse for not being happy . jennifer : yeah , i - i know that . i just -- i ca n't talk about it . laura : okay . i 'm gon na get us more tea . but i 'd like you to think about what i said . jennifer : okay . i did use jack as an excuse , but not the way you think . [ sniffles ] god , i used him to hurt daniel , and i hate that i did that . [ scene_break ] nicole : okay , um , about chloe . remember the day we ran into each other at the town square , and you told me you and jennifer got back together ? daniel : okay , this still is n't about chloe . nicole : let me finish . what i did n't tell you was that chloe said she was never giving up on you , and i got the distinct feeling that she had some kind of plan . daniel : go on . nicole : when i heard jennifer broke up with you -- how she broke up with you , an alarm went off in my head . daniel : so ? nicole : so i went to talk to chloe . i just talked to her . and i ca n't prove it , daniel , but i know she made jennifer break up with you . [ scene_break ] rafe : really ? i ca n't believe that you did this behind my back . did you have this drawn up when we were -- kate : do n't you think that perhaps we should talk about this privately ? nick : okay , how about privately and someplace else ? am i the only person that notices that this is pretty upsetting for gabi ? kate : oh , gabi , if i 've upset you , i 'm so sorry . all i was trying to do was -- rafe : i think we all know what you were trying to do . nick : yeah . rafe : let 's talk about this in private . nick : you all right ? gabi : i 'm fine . i 'm just kinda hurt , you know ? i thought i could -- i could trust kate . nick : i know . here 's the only person you can trust in all this . it 's me . [ scene_break ] chloe : so anne talked to a nurse at the hospital who saw jennifer horton at the airport . apparently , she 's left town . nancy : w -- did she know where she was going ? do they know how long she 's gon na be gone ? chloe : who cares ? she 's gone . that 's all that matters , which makes this seem like a really good time to go spend some time with my boys . nancy : chloe , daniel has already asked you twice to let him have some alone time with his son . please , do n't be so pushy . chloe : pushy ? nancy : honey , you are so close to getting everything you wanted . please do n't blow it now . chloe : mother , you are such a worrywart . [ scene_break ] nicole : daniel , did you hear what i said ? daniel : oh , i heard what you said , all right . nicole : i told you i ca n't prove it . i do n't even have a clue of exactly what she did , but underneath all that denial , there was a little smirk . daniel : was there now ? [ phone rings ] nicole : uh ... hello , father eric brady 's office . yes , yes . i 'll do that right now . um , i 'm sorry . i have to go sign for this package . i 'll be right back . daniel : okay , yeah , you , uh , you take your time . because i - i have got a lot to think about . like wiping the smirk off your face , chloe . okay , just take it easy . just take it e -- just figure it out . just figure out what she did . okay , what could she do to get jennifer to go along with her ? what could she use ? annabel : i 'm sorry , doctor . he wanted to see his daddy . daniel : oh , my god . annabel : what 's wrong ? daniel : hey . she used him . she used my son . [ scene_break ] gabi : nick , are you sure that you 're okay with , you know , me wanting will to be a part of this baby 's life ? nick : that 's your decision . completely your decision . but are n't you tired , gabi ? of all of them pushing and pushing and pushing you ? i mean , yeah , will and his mom could n't get you to put his name on the birth certificate , so they sent in kate . gabi : she said that they did n't do that . nick : yeah , well , she also said that she did n't read the contract . i 've negotiated with kate . not only did she read it , she had it memorized . she 's out to con you , babe . they all are . gabi : i 'm so tired . nick : i know . me too . but that 's what they 're counting on . they wan na beat you down until you say , `` fine , put his name on the birth certificate , just so we can end all this . `` that is the just the beginning . it 's the first step toward getting will full custody of your baby . and in your heart , i think you know that . [ scene_break ] kate : you know , i ca n't even keep up with you . rafe : no , no , no . i ca n't keep up with you . oh , you 're good . you are good , i 'll give you that . i mean , we spent last night together , and this morning , we were having a great time . all the while you had this in your purse , did n't you ? kate : no , no , no . i had those drawn up this morning . rafe : oh , well , even better . and for the record , my sister has every right to spend every freaking holiday with her kid . and you did n't even have the decency to tell her that she was gon na be signing that right away with this ? kate : your precious sister is married to a sociopath who wants to keep my grandson away from his own baby , rafe . rafe : we do not know that that is the case . kate : okay , all right . so what , are we just gon na take his word on it ? rafe : yeah . kate : do you remember how he looked after melanie ? your sister needs to sign those papers . rafe : no . no way . [ scene_break ] will : hey . sonny : hey . will : what 's up ? i thought you were working today . sonny : uh , yeah . i just had something to take care of . will : something ? that 's specific . sonny : okay , i 'll be specific . i went to talk to ej . [ scene_break ] ej : did you know that gabi has moved into the kiriakis mansion with nick ? sami : damn it . that complicates things . ej : mm - hmm . sami : how did you find out ? ej : sonny told me . he offered to help , actually . sami : he did ? sonny showed up here and volunteered to help in any way he could ? ej : what do you mean ? sami : just wondering if you gave him the idea . ej : well , no , i - i talked to him earlier , you know , about what nick was doing to william . sami : you 're good at that . you are so good . ej : at what ? sami : at getting people to do what you want them to do and making them think it 's their idea , that it somehow benefits them . ej : what exactly is your point ? sami : it 's not a point . it 's a question . ej , what is the real reason that you wanted us to move back here ? [ scene_break ] nicole : hey , parker . sorry . i -- daniel : no , it 's all right . um ... we were just heading out , were n't we ? yes , we were . nicole : listen , daniel , um , you know the thing i said about chloe , i know it must sound crazy , but can you just think about it ? daniel : you know what , nicole , it 's not crazy . it 's the truth . nicole : you believe me ? daniel : and i really , really appreciate you looking out for me . both of us . right ? so thank you . nicole : um , daniel ? now that you know that chloe did ... something , what are you gon na do ? [ scene_break ] kate : i ca n't believe you 're defending nick . he is blackmailing will , rafe . rafe : no one is trying to keep will from the baby . okay ? now , obviously , there 's a strong argument for putting sami back in her cage . she 's the one who sent gabi to the hospital . obviously nick had to do something . kate : really ? rafe : yeah . kate : so that -- that 's what this is about ? this is about sami ? rafe : no . kate : okay . all right . because you know that i do n't have warm and fuzzy feelings for sami , and even i know that she would never hurt the baby . rafe : uh - huh . kate : so i think maybe you 're feeling she needs to be put back in her cage because she dumped you and went back to ej . rafe : wow . ah , so , uh , well , obviously you just said something you really should n't have said because you 're upset . and for the sake of us ever talking again , i 'm just gon na consider this conversation over . [ scene_break ] will : oh , you know , i would really rather you not get involved in this . sonny : what if something bad happened to me ? all right , how would you feel if i just told you to step back and watch ? will : yeah , but your folks are gon na freakin ' flip out , man , if they find out that you are involving yourself with ej dimera . sonny : okay , well , here 's a thought . i do n't have to tell 'em . will : you know , i 'm just saying , if you get caught -- sonny : then i 'll tell 'em why i did it . i 'm doing this because i love you . will : okay . [ scene_break ] ej : you know exactly why we moved in here . we moved in here to help will . sami : i know that that is the stated reason . and , yes , i thought it was a good idea . i thought will and i did stand to benefit from me living here . but now i 'm wondering about you . what was your reason ? did you wan na be with your family ? your father ? is that what you wanted all along ? or at least since -- ej : since ? sami : okay , fine . i will cut to the chase . have you forgotten to tell me something ? like the fact that you have decided to forgive your father for everything that he has done to you ? [ scene_break ] jennifer : you 're right about jack . you 're right about everything . and i ca n't -- i ca n't do this anymore . [ sniffles ] i just -- i need to call daniel . i need to call him right now . [ scene_break ] chloe : mom ? has daniel called you ? i tried calling him , but he 's not picking up . oh , hey . i 've been looking everywhere for you and parker . daniel : hey , i 'm sorry . yeah , it must have been awful thinking that your son was safe and taken care of and then finding out that he was n't . i 'm sorry . chloe : oh , no . i knew he was safe . he was with you . daniel : yeah , no , you 're right . i , uh , i would n't put my son in harm 's way , so ... chloe : is something wrong ? daniel : no , no , no . no , parker , he 's , you know , he 's all tucked in . we 're here together . no , i think all is -- all is right with the world . you know , i hope you do n't mind that i asked your mother if we could have some time alone . of course , i did n't think you 'd mind . i think you 've actually been hoping we could , you know , have some time alone for a while now . chloe : yeah , of course . daniel : you know , there 's ... been so much going on lately . we have n't really had that time , t -- you know , to have that nice , long , lay - your - cards - on - the- table kind of talk . chloe : talk about what ? daniel : i do n't know . where we 've been . you know , i think more to the point , just where you and i go from here ? | rafe told daniel that nancy and parker were in brazil instead of new york . kate gave gabi a contract that gave will rights to his daughter . jennifer went to see laura to talk about breaking up with daniel . chloe lied to nicole about having anything to do with jennifer dumping daniel , but nicole did n't believe her . rafe showed daniel proof that nancy took parker to brazil . gabi was n't sure if she should sign the papers without a lawyer . kate tried to explain what the contracts were , but nick interrupted them . daniel was upset that chloe tried to take parker out of the country . daniel thought he could n't do anything because philip is considered parker 's father . daniel wanted to do something to stop chloe . chloe and nicole continued to argue over daniel and jennifer . gabi told nick about the contract , but nick looked over the contract and knew kate was lying . chloe said hurtful things to nicole , which led to nicole leaving . daniel thanked rafe for his help . when rafe left , daniel got a call from nicole . she wanted to talk to him about chloe . kate got into an argument with gabi over the contracts . rafe showed up while they were arguing to find out what was going on . | <s>[INST] daniel : hey , did you , uh ... did you find anything out ? rafe : oh , yeah . well , you were right to be suspicious . nancy and parker were n't in new york . daniel : oh , my god , okay . where did they go ? rafe : well , homeland security has them flying to and from brazil . [ scene_break ] ej : ah , sonny . i 'm sorry , if you 're looking for samantha , she 's not here at the moment . sonny : i did n't come to see sami . i came here to see you . [ scene_break ] sami : no , you 're right . hanging out with stefano is not exactly my favorite thing to do , but hey , you know ? i think we 're making progress . will : you know , you have done a lot for me in my life , but being nice to stefano is above and beyond . sami : [ laughs ] the important thing is we 're motivated , and it 's working . couple more visits from you , and i think we 're really gon na be able to have stefano pull out the big guns -- will : okay . [ clears throat ] sami : oh , nick , actually , wait . nick : look , honestly , i do n't want another fight , okay ? sami : neither do i. i - i just wanted to say thank you . [ scene_break ] kate : what i did is i stopped at my lawyer 's on the way here this morning , had some papers drawn up for you to sign . do you have a pen ? gabi : wait , i do n't understand what 's -- what is this ? kate : oh , it 's a very simple document . what it does is state that will is going to have time with his daughter , which is what you intended all the time , right ? gabi : well , yeah , but -- kate : well , good . that 's good . so if you just sign right there , everyone will be happy . [ scene_break ] laura : here we are . jennifer : i 'm sorry . let me help you with that -- laura : no , honey . i 'm taking care of you , and i start with tea . so still lemon and no sugar ? jennifer : yes , that -- that 's fine . laura : good . jennifer : i 'm sorry to just barge in like this out of the blue and demand tea . laura : [ laughs ] jennifer : thank you . laura : so , uh , i guess you 'd be really put out if abigail presumed to come to you if she had a problem , hmm ? sweetie . jennifer : [ chuckles ] laura : gosh , honey . it means the world to me that you 've come to me . jennifer : well , i did n't know what else to do . laura : you sounded so upset on the phone . now , will you tell me what 's wrong ? jennifer : i just needed to get out of salem for a little bit . it just hurts so much to be there . [ scene_break ] chloe : nicole , this little scenario you dreamed up is completely idiotic . nicole : i know what you did . you used one of your tricks , a threat or a lie . it does n't even -- it does n't even matter . you caused this breakup . admit it . chloe : that 's ridiculous . i had nothing to do with her dumping him . nicole : liar . [ scene_break ] daniel : she took my son to brazil ? you know this for sure ? rafe : my contact at the fbi confirmed it with immigration . in fact , they even faxed over a copy of nancy 's stamped and dated visa . daniel : she flat - out lied to me . why ? what the hell is going on ? [ scene_break ] nick : you -- you wan na thank me ? sami : yeah , i do . will told me that you and gabi talked to him about making sure he 'll be able to see his daughter after she 's born , and that 's all i wanted . i mean , i get it . i totally messed up . i understand that , but i 'm really grateful that you and gabi are n't holding it against will , so ... thank you . nick : well , do n't thank me . i 'll stand by whatever gabi wants , so ... sami : creepy , sick son of a bitch . will : what was that about ? sami : i just want nick to feel like he 's in control . so when we come after him , he wo n't see it coming . [ scene_break ] gabi : [ sighs ] um , should i maybe have a lawyer look at this ? kate : oh , god , no . no , no , no , all this is saying is that will 's name is going to be on the birth certificate as the father . gabi : well , but that 's not what you said before . you said that he 'd be able to see the baby . kate : yes , yes , yes , but by having his name on the birth certificate , it guarantees it . gabi : and what 's everything else ? i mean , what is all of this -- kate : well , say right here , you know , this is just stating that you have the right to keep sami from the baby . i mean , that 's really everything that you talked about . i just put it in writing for you . so are you ready to sign ? right there on the dotted line . nick : hey , what -- what -- what -- what 's going on here ? [ scene_break ] daniel : what the hell are they thinking ? rafe : you honestly have no idea why she took him to brazil ? daniel : i do n't know . it just scares the hell out of me to think about it 'cause i 'm talking to my kid 's grandmother on the phone , and i hear portuguese . oh , and i just told myself that , no , she 's just getting takeout from some portuguese place in new york , because i ca n't fathom that she would take my son to rio for a weekend . a weekend ? rafe : you 're telling me that chloe would take him out of the country without even telling you ? daniel : the paperwork 's not even done yet . but for all i know , philip is still the legal father . i mean , that 's what chloe said . but she also said that they were in new york . [ exhales ] okay , you know what ? here 's the problem . she has n't broken any laws , right ? i mean , so there 's -- there 's really nothing i can do here . rafe : nothin ' ? daniel : well , nothing that depends on chloe acting like a rational person , because if i just ask her why she did this , i 'm just gon na get a bunch of crap , a bunch of lies , and ... rafe : well , listen , i wish that i had something else to tell you , okay ? but , uh , that 's it . daniel : yeah . well , thank you . at least i may not know what really happened , and i - i - i will find out why . but , man , i - i just -- i do n't -- i do n't know where to start . [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] chloe : so apparently , the pot came all the way across town to call the kettle black . nicole : oh , come on , chloe . it 's me . i know your tricks better than you do . what did you do ? chloe : nothing . look , i 'm not gon na pretend i 'm not happy that jennifer dumped daniel , but i had nothing to do with it . nicole : bull . i 've gone toe - to - toe with jennifer , and you wan na know what i 've learned ? she 's a lot tougher than you think , and she loves daniel . and she would n't give up on him for no good reason , so i ask you again , what did you do ? chloe : you know , it 's really sad you come all the way over here out of the blue , calling me a liar , getting all worked up , when we both know why you 're so angry . nicole : because you 're hurting someone i care about ? chloe : no . because you 're jealous . [ scene_break ] gabi : um , kate says the papers are a formality in case something happens to me ... nick : what ? gabi : and that it would make it official that will would be a part of arianna 's life . nick : that 's not the only thing this makes official , is it , kate ? kate : well , there are a few other minor things in there , nick . nick : okay , see , i do n't think it 's minor that will would get the baby every other holiday . gabi : what ? kate : really ? i - i do n't remember seeing that in there . nick : really ? because , yeah , you would never try to slip something like that past gabi , would you ? kate : no , i would n't . nick : okay . well , then , one has to ask the question , who put you up to this ? was it will or his mother ? kate : [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] laura : honey , please tell me what 's wrong . jennifer : you know , mom , it 's not this huge deal . laura : jennifer . jennifer : i just need to sort some things out , that 's all . laura : okay , you 're telling me that it 's no big deal , and you just have to sort things out , but you 're not telling me what it is . or is it a him ? honey , is it this doctor that you 've been seeing ? i mean , did the two of you have a fight ? jennifer : uh , yeah . we had ... we had worse than a fight . and i feel like my heart is literally breaking . [ scene_break ] nicole : i 'm jealous ? chloe : yeah . you 're jealous because you 're still in love with daniel , and you never got over him . after everything you did , he still chose jennifer . and now that he 's free , you 're upset that i 'm gon na get back together with him , and once again , that you 're gon na be left out in the cold , alone , and still in a convent . nicole : you 're right . i 'm a jealous , neurotic mess in a convent . but it still does n't change what you did . you broke up jennifer and daniel because you want him back . and -- and you do n't care that you 're making him miserable . chloe : well , he wo n't be miserable after he has his own little family , something that you can never give him . nicole : do you have any idea what a horrible thing that is to say to me ? how hurtful it is ? do you even care that you 've sunk so low ? chloe : i think you should go . nicole : so what are you gon na do if this thing with daniel does n't work out ? are you gon na trade parker in for a used car or something useful ? because all you 're doing is exploiting him . and that is not how a mother acts . chloe : well , you would n't know , would you ? nicole : actually , i would . chloe : okay , fine . so you 're good , and i 'm bad . you know what ? if you insist on stirring up trouble , why do n't you stick around until daniel gets here ? and then the three of us can discuss your little theory . but frankly , i think he 's gon na see the truth , that sadly you are still obsessed with him . nicole : have a nice life , chloe . [ scene_break ] daniel : okay , look , i really , really appreciate your help , rafe . rafe : yeah , yeah . do me a favor and keep that fax under your hat . i broke a few rules to get it . daniel : okay , right on . i gotcha . rafe : good . hey , hey .

[ scene_break ] kate : i am not put up to things , nick , not by sami , not by will . all i 'm trying to do is look out for the best interests of my grandson . gabi : well , i do n't think that it 's right for you to try to slip something like that past me . kate : sweetie , if you do n't agree with what 's in that paragraph , we 'll just strike it right out . gabi : look , i just -- i felt like i could trust you , and you told me that there was nothing to worry about . kate : there 's nothing to worry about . there 's nothing to worry about as long as you hold up your end of the bargain and allow will to have time with his baby . gabi : i will , but i just do n't think i have to sign a contract just because you tell me to sign it . and it feels like you 're the one that does n't trust me . kate : no , that 's not true . i do trust you , and i think you intend to do the right thing . the one i 'm worried about is nick , whether your husband 's going to allow that . rafe : allow what ? [ scene_break ] ej : you sure i ca n't get you a drink ? sonny : yeah , positive . ej : [ chuckles ] man of principles , huh ? man of standards . sonny : some . ej : you do n't like talking to me , do you ? in this house . sonny : no , not really . ej : [ sighs ] well , i 'm glad you did . it gives us an opportunity to continue the conversation that we started a few days ago . i assume that 's why you 're here . you wanted to talk about helping william . sonny : in that conversation , you did talk about helping will , but you also talked about squashing nick fallon like a bug . ej : that bothers you , does it ? sonny : it bothers me that i want to . and without going over the extensive list of reasons , i have never detested anyone like i detest him . ej : oh , you do n't need to go over a list of reasons . when nick pulled that blackmail stunt in the hospital , that was enough to put him firmly in my crosshairs . oh , you have a moral dilemma . there 's a part of you that really wants to help william , and there is a part of you that is worried . you 're worried that your motivations are to get back at nick . sonny : i just do n't think it 's a good idea to enjoy hurting someone . ej : why ? we 're human , right ? i mean , is there something wrong with being human ? look , sonny ... [ clears throat ] whatever happens to nick fallon is what he deserves . now , i gave him fair warning . all you 're trying to do is help somebody you love , and i know you love william very much , right ? how could that possibly not be a good thing ? sonny : you just ... [ sighs ] you just do n't know what all this is doing to him . the reason i came here is because i wan na help , and i know how . nick and gabi are staying at my uncle victor 's house . you ca n't exactly drop in . but i can . and i wan na go in nick 's room and check it out . i do wan na help squash him like a bug . ej : good man . good man .

[ scene_break ] laura : so you ended it ? honey , your heart 's breaking . i mean , the obvious question is , why would you do that ? jennifer : [ sighs ] laura : every email that i 've gotten from abigail , she 's been so happy about you and -- and ... jennifer : daniel . his name is daniel , and it 's -- it 's just -- it 's complicated . laura : so it would seem . i mean , why else would you dump a guy who seems to make you very happy ? jennifer : i did n't want to break up with him . laura : all right . so once again , why did you ? jennifer : because i had to . [ scene_break ] daniel : are you sure sister annabel does n't mind watching parker ? nicole : she 's thrilled . she loves kids . daniel : okay . so what -- what -- what 's going on ? nicole : first of all , i -- i heard that you and jennifer broke up , and i just want you to know i 'm really , really sorry . daniel : okay , i really do n't wan na talk about that , especially with -- nicole : okay . daniel : okay . nicole : i can see that . daniel : yeah . so -- so now , what is this about chloe ? nicole : okay , i 'll get to chloe in a second . i -- first , we really need to talk about j -- um , i need to talk to you about jennifer . i did n't -- i did n't want to believe this . in fact , i drove myself crazy trying not to believe it , but i see it now . i see that -- that you and jennifer belong together . she makes you happy , and that is all i 've ever wanted for you . you deserve that . daniel : well , that could n't have been easy for you to say . but really , it 's a moot point 'cause jennifer and i , we 're over . it 's -- it 's -- no , no , if you do n't believe me , trust me . you go ask her . nicole : i did n't just hear that you and jennifer broke up . it 's how you broke up . publicly in the hospital ? she said terrible things to you ? daniel : okay , really , nicole ? i -- i was there , i remember . nicole : i know , but did n't it seem a little un - jennifer to you ? daniel : all right , look , this has just been a really , really strange , rough day . could you please , please just tell me what you have to say about chloe ? [ scene_break ] will : well , we are talking about ej , and , um , i do n't know what he 's up to , but i do think that he 's up to something . sami : why all of a sudden does it sound like you are not happy about me and ej being together ? will : i am , i n -- i never said that . um , if i did say that , i could certainly draw on some personal history to back it up . sami : ej and i have changed . will : yeah , do you think maybe he 's just making you think that he 's changed ? sami : now you are delving into my very , very personal ... will : yeah . sami : life . will : yeah , we never do that . that 's not how we roll . sami : [ chuckles ] i hate it when you make a good point . will : listen , um ... i was at the mansion , and stefano came in , and i saw this weird ... look on ej 's face , and i ca n't put my finger on it , but i know that there is something else going on . [ scene_break ] kate : we were just talking about will and his relationship to the baby , you know , after she 's born . rafe : oh , yeah ? kate : you know . and what a positive thing it 's going to be , not just for will , but really for gabi and nick too . nick : hmm . kate : yeah . you know , i think in the midst of everything , you 've forgotten that you 're newlyweds , and newlyweds really do need time together alone . you know , and now you 're going to be able to go out , and you can leave arianna with will and with sonny . you could even take that long - delayed honeymoon , and you 'll be leaving the baby with -- with two people who really love her completely and will take such good care of her . nick : wow , that 's -- that 's amazing . she 's -- she 's always thinking of others . really amazing . rafe : you have a problem with that ? nick : it 's not my place to have problems . i am 100 % fine with all custody decisions that gabi makes , and i support her 100 % . rafe : okay . then what 's the problem ? nick : the problem is that kate is trying to force gabi into signing this . that 's the problem . rafe : what -- what 's this ? kate : it 's really -- it 's really nothing , and it 's really not important and -- rafe : the hell it is n't . [ scene_break ] laura : okay , so i guess i could try to guess why you feel you had to break up with daniel . it 's jack , is n't it ? honey , i mean , do you feel like you 're betraying his memory by moving on ? jennifer : yeah . yeah , that 's it . laura : jack 's gone . and you clearly have very strong feelings for this daniel . jennifer : yeah , i - i do . i have some feelings , you know , but he could never replace jack . laura : oh , honey , of course not . but that does n't mean you have to kick him out of your life . god knows jack had his flaws . but when it came to loving you , he was pretty selfless . he would never want you to spend the rest of your life mourning him , and he would never want you to use him as an excuse for not being happy . jennifer : yeah , i - i know that . i just -- i ca n't talk about it . laura : okay . i 'm gon na get us more tea . but i 'd like you to think about what i said . jennifer : okay . i did use jack as an excuse , but not the way you think . [ sniffles ] god , i used him to hurt daniel , and i hate that i did that . [ scene_break ] nicole : okay , um , about chloe . remember the day we ran into each other at the town square , and you told me you and jennifer got back together ? daniel : okay , this still is n't about chloe . nicole : let me finish . what i did n't tell you was that chloe said she was never giving up on you , and i got the distinct feeling that she had some kind of plan . daniel : go on . nicole : when i heard jennifer broke up with you -- how she broke up with you , an alarm went off in my head . daniel : so ? nicole : so i went to talk to chloe . i just talked to her . and i ca n't prove it , daniel , but i know she made jennifer break up with you . [ scene_break ] rafe : really ? i ca n't believe that you did this behind my back . did you have this drawn up when we were -- kate : do n't you think that perhaps we should talk about this privately ? nick : okay , how about privately and someplace else ? am i the only person that notices that this is pretty upsetting for gabi ? kate : oh , gabi , if i 've upset you , i 'm so sorry . all i was trying to do was -- rafe : i think we all know what you were trying to do . nick : yeah . rafe : let 's talk about this in private . nick : you all right ? gabi : i 'm fine . i 'm just kinda hurt , you know ? i thought i could -- i could trust kate . nick : i know . here 's the only person you can trust in all this . it 's me . [ scene_break ] chloe : so anne talked to a nurse at the hospital who saw jennifer horton at the airport . apparently , she 's left town . nancy : w -- did she know where she was going ? do they know how long she 's gon na be gone ? chloe : who cares ? she 's gone . that 's all that matters , which makes this seem like a really good time to go spend some time with my boys . nancy : chloe , daniel has already asked you twice to let him have some alone time with his son . please , do n't be so pushy . chloe : pushy ? nancy : honey , you are so close to getting everything you wanted . please do n't blow it now . chloe : mother , you are such a worrywart .

[ phone rings ] nicole : uh ... hello , father eric brady 's office . yes , yes . i 'll do that right now . um , i 'm sorry . i have to go sign for this package . i 'll be right back . daniel : okay , yeah , you , uh , you take your time . because i - i have got a lot to think about . like wiping the smirk off your face , chloe . okay , just take it easy . just take it e -- just figure it out . just figure out what she did . okay , what could she do to get jennifer to go along with her ? what could she use ? annabel : i 'm sorry , doctor . he wanted to see his daddy . daniel : oh , my god . annabel : what 's wrong ? daniel : hey . she used him . she used my son . [ scene_break ] gabi : nick , are you sure that you 're okay with , you know , me wanting will to be a part of this baby 's life ? nick : that 's your decision . completely your decision . but are n't you tired , gabi ? of all of them pushing and pushing and pushing you ? i mean , yeah , will and his mom could n't get you to put his name on the birth certificate , so they sent in kate . gabi : she said that they did n't do that . nick : yeah , well , she also said that she did n't read the contract . i 've negotiated with kate . not only did she read it , she had it memorized . she 's out to con you , babe . they all are . gabi : i 'm so tired . nick : i know . me too . but that 's what they 're counting on . they wan na beat you down until you say , `` fine , put his name on the birth certificate , just so we can end all this . `` that is the just the beginning . it 's the first step toward getting will full custody of your baby . and in your heart , i think you know that .

[ scene_break ] bill : [ smooches ] katie : [ laughs ] he says , `` no kisses , daddy ! `` bill : yeah ! [ smooches ] katie : so , it 's kind of interesting having ridge back . bill : what 's interesting about it ? he 's a transient . wherever he goes , he wants to be someplace else . katie : yeah ? you think he 's just passing through ? bill : as soon as he finds out that brooke was n't sitting around knitting , waiting for him , he 'll get all wounded and go someplace else . katie : what if he does n't ? if he wants my sister , he 'll have her . it 's the way it 's always been . what 's that ? [ scene_break ] brooke : she 'd fly into a rage , and then she would call it off with bill , and she kept trying to push us together over and over again . but i never thought that i would ever feel anything for anybody after you left . and suddenly , this man ... ridge : this man is your sister 's husband . brooke : yeah . i know . brooke : my sister 's husband . and i - i - i know that 's wrong . i - i kept trying to make excuses over and over [ sighs ] again , trying to justify it . but i never should have gotten involved . my sister had overcome so much . stormie had given his life so she could have hers . and she was happy . she finally had everything she ever wanted ... even though , at the same time , she seemed miserable . and she [ sighs ] mishandled bill terribly . ridge : sometimes that 's what people do when they 're in love . they mishandle things . brooke : i never thought that i 'd be sitting across a table from you like this ... [ sighs ] with a chance to possibly have our life back -- you , me , and r.j. under the same roof . i never stopped loving you . i really just never thought it was possible that we could have this chance again . that 's why you came here , right ? you came here because you wanted our life back . you wanted to reunite our family . that is what you want ? | ridge questions why bill is there at brooke 's . they semi - politely spar back and forth why each other are there . ridge wins out and bill says he has another appointment so bon appetite . katie is at the office feeding will . she has to cancel some appointments before bill arrives . he 's happy to stay there and play with will and assures katie that he is not taking will to brooke 's . he was just there and she asked him to leave . there 's a little situation ridge . donna and quinn have an edgy conversation about donna blabbing the whereabouts of two employees to an outsider . she wonders if quinn 's son knows how she operates . does he think he won hope fair and square or does he even care . quinn says she is going to let this pass one time since donna has n't done much damage . hawaii is much bigger than it looks so liam can island hop until his beard grows in and he wo n't find hope . donna is only too happy to gloat that liam has one of those little app devices . it puts a mark on the map right where she is . he 's probably already there now . liam asks hope if she hears what he is saying . wyatt quips that yeah , liam 's lack of integrity is somehow his mother 's fault . liam starts to explain all over again how he was in the cabin and steffy showed up . hope says it does not matter who sent the note ; it was that steffy was there . liam tells her that is exactly what she was supposed to see . quinn was the only one who knew steffy was in l.a. quinn brought steffy back from paris and she wanted hope here with wyatt . | <s>[INST] ridge : you and , uh , bill are in the middle of something ? brooke : no . no , not really . ridge : so , i 'm not interrupting anything . brooke : no , ridge . ridge : that 's good . glad that 's cleared up . so , why are you here ? [ scene_break ] katie : keeping things fresher longer . that 's exactly where we want to go . all right . great . thanks , you guys . i will talk to you next week . thank you . bye . okay . and what could possibly be fresher than you all dressed up , ready to see your daddy ? here you go . mmm . yum , yum , yum . delicious ! [ scene_break ] liam : do you understand what i 'm telling you ? wyatt : that your lack of integrity is somehow my mother 's fault ? liam : i was getting dressed for the wedding . why would i walk all the way up to the house , leave you a note , walk all the way back down and expect you to come meet me ? i would have knocked on the door . hope : okay , nobody cares about the note . you were with steffy . liam : that 's exactly what you were supposed to see . do you know that quinn is the only one who knew steffy was in l.a. ? wyatt : what ? ! hope : how ? liam : because quinn is the one who brought steffy back from paris . and getting you here with him is exactly what she wanted to accomplish by that . congratulations . [ scene_break ] quinn : oh . where 's eric ? donna : oh . he is in san francisco at a meeting . is that okay ? i mean , your son was n't using the jet and all . [ chuckles ] quinn : you might want to adjust your attitude towards me , donna . i do n't think it will serve you well in the long run . donna : [ chuckles ] you 'd like to think that you have us all figured out , huh ? that there 's not much more to us than meets the eye ? quinn : no , i 'm sure you have deep important thoughts all the time , donna . donna : see , what you do n't get are the inner connections , the loyalties . was that hawaii that you called when you were outside ? quinn : i do n't see how that 's any of your business . donna : did , uh , wyatt mention whether liam was there yet ? quinn : you told him where they were ? [ scene_break ] hope : is this true about steffy and your mom ? wyatt : i mean , they must have met . i mean , my mom was pitching international . liam : go ahead . call donna and ask who was on the passenger manifest when quinn flew back . wyatt : so steffy hitched a ride . so what ? liam : no one else knew she was there , wyatt . how did she know where to look for me ? how did she know where i was ? why did n't she go to my house ? we were set up , hope , again . and he 's the reason why .

my family packed me off to live in another country with my aunt when i was a baby . chad : you know , i 've known your family for years , paloma . i do n't think they 're like that . paloma : do n't judge a book by its cover . i 'm not even sure my family loves me or that they really want me here in harmony . fox : i want to apologize to you for getting into it with chad earlier tonight . you know , i 'm sorry that you got upset . i know that all you wanted to do was go out with me tonight and have a nice , relaxing dinner , forget about all your problems with chad . and it just seems like being with me reminded you of all of them , you know ? whitney : i 've got to get fox to sleep with me tonight so that i can pass this baby off as his instead of chad 's . oh , god , forgive me for what i 'm doing . fox , you 're not to blame for my problems . being with you actually helps me put things in perspective . as a matter of fact , i 'm starting to see myself in a better place once i get past this whole mess with chad . fox : yeah ?

we ca n't control fox loving whitney . eve : julian , i still feel a little shaky after seeing chad and fox fight . i 'm going to go freshen up in the ladies ' room . julian : of course . i want to thank you for helping me manage my sons . sam : just doing my job . besides , i like chad and fox . i do n't want to see either of them get in any trouble over the situation they 're in through no fault of their own . julian : you still think of me as a monster , do n't you ?

it seemed important . luis : well , regardless of whether alistair lives or dies , i 'll ask mr . wheeler what it was that he wanted to tell us . pilar : he still reminds me so much of martin . martin : come on . ahem . sam : we need to talk about what happened here -- later . martin : yes , sir . julian : what a time for eve to honor her hippocratic oath . sheridan : julian , please . i know father is an evil , hateful man . i know he 's cost you a lifetime of happiness with eve . he 's always tried to keep me away from luis . but seeing him lying there , bleeding , demystified -- father is human , after all . julian : mortal , yes . human , no . i hope he 's halfway to hell by now . sheridan : oh -- julian : listen , i understand how you feel , in spite of all the pain he 's inflicted on you . you missed out on so much love as a child after mother died . even pilar tried to take mother 's place on the rare trips you made back home from school , and your father made no secret of his loathing and contempt for you . sheridan : father always blamed me for mother 's death . it 's more than that , though . i know it is . i never had any closure with mother when she died . i do n't want things to end the same way with father . julian : just know that our mother loved us both very much . you can take comfort in that . sheridan : i will . i know this is going to sound crazy , but sometimes i just wish our mother could come back to us . julian : would that she could , i 'm sure that she 'd be here now . martin : all right , now , katherine , tell me what happened . we need to make up a plausible cover story to tell the police . katherine : well , i -- i 'd come to alistair to kill him , which is when you found us together earlier . martin : i knew it . you were lying before about wanting to go back to him . katherine : well , of course i was lying . i 'd never choose to be with alistair over you , martin . and the only reason that i said that i would go back to him and be his wife is because i thought it was the only way to save our children . but then he said -- he said that he was going to kill luis anyway , and i was not going to let him do that . you had already lost antonio because of alistair . i was not going to let him kill luis , too . so i told him the deal was off . he mocked me for standing up to him . he did n't believe me . he did n't take me seriously . so i -- i pulled the gun and we struggled . i pulled the trigger and i shot him . martin : ok . now , listen to me . you ca n't admit to pulling the trigger . if alistair dies , you could go to prison for murder . eve : he suffered significant injury to his chest cavity . julian : yes , far too much for you to repair , i 'm sure . why do n't you just call it a night and let the old man die . eve : i know that he 's a constant source of torment to us . but that 's what i do -- i save lives , no matter whose life it is . julian : it is amazing to me that you would help someone who 's brought you so much heartache . eve : frankly , it is to me , too . now , time is of the essence . i have to concentrate on my patient now . sam : what did eve say ? julian : it does n't look good , but she 's going to do everything she can to help father . sam : you know , i 'm amazed that eve is so professional . i know i 'd be tempted to let alistair bleed to death for the way he treated my father and ethan . luis : i could n't agree with sam more . heck , if i 'd have known mrs . wheeler was ok , i doubt i would have even called 911 . sam : speaking of mrs . wheeler , i need to find out what she was doing in the library alone with alistair and why there was a gun . luis : you think she shot alistair intentionally ? julian : well , she does n't even know my father . sam : even so , a man has been shot , and i need to figure out what happened and why . fox : so , what are you saying ? are you saying you could be happy with me ? whitney : fox , before i let myself get upset with you , you know we had some wonderful times together . fox : yeah . whitney : i mean , remember when we were in los angeles and chad was working all the time ? we were together every single day . that was the best summer of my life . fox : well , i had a good time , too . and then , you know , i remember when you found out that i was in love with you , and -- well , you know , you were there . you know what happened . let 's not relive the whole thing . whitney : no , no , i totally know what you 're saying , and i was just wrong . i 'm sorry . fox : it 's ok . it 's totally fine . you have no idea how long i 've waited to hear you say something like this . i 'll tell you a secret . when -- when i thought we could n't be together , i thought i was going to die . so i buried myself in my work because if i sat around thinking about you all day and about how i could n't be with you , i would have driven myself crazy . whitney : well , i 'm driving myself crazy thinking about you right now . whitney : what ? what 's wrong ? fox : my job -- crane industries , my father -- whitney : what ? i mean , are you worried that being with me is going to put your job in jeopardy ? chad : all right , so why is taking a job at crane industries a ticket to getting back at my folks ?

sam : mrs. wheeler , i need to talk to you a little bit about what happened in the library . katherine : of course , chief bennett . sam : how did alistair end up being shot ? look , i do n't want to alarm you , mrs . wheeler , but if alistair dies as a result of his wounds , and depending on the circumstances of the shooting , this could become a murder investigation . katherine : it 's not necessary to investigate anything , chief bennett . i can tell you exactly what happened . i shot alistair crane . sam : accidentally ? katherine : no . i shot alistair with every intention of killing him . whitney : no , no , i get it . i mean , you 're worried your father is going to sideline you at crane industries if you defy him by seeing me . fox : no . no , that 's not what i 'm saying . i was just saying that i 'm going to be working a lot , you know . and if we start seeing each other -- which , you got to believe me , is what i hope happens -- i do n't know how much time we 'll be able to spend together . whitney : oh . well , i 'm sure we 'll find time to be together . actually , i was just worried that you were going to give in to your father about not seeing me . fox : no , no . i do n't care what he says , whitney . i do n't care what anyone in my family says . if i want to see you , i 'm going to see you , no matter what . whitney : you do n't know how relieved i am to hear you say that . whitney 's voice : i do care about you , fox . but i care about sparing my baby with chad from the truth that its parents are brother and sister even more . chad : paloma , what are you saying exactly ? paloma : listen , you can get revenge on your parents by going to work at crane industries . use all that money your father has offered you and the power that comes with it to punish your parents for ruining your life and whitney 's . punish your brother , fox , for taking whitney . sam : hold on . let me get this straight . you admit to deliberately shooting alistair ?

sam : yeah , of course . martin : thank you . martin : katherine , what are you doing ? if alistair dies , you 'll be arrested for murder . you could go to prison for the rest of your life . sweetheart , you could get the death penalty . katherine : i do n't care , martin , anymore . i did what i had to do to protect luis . and you , martin -- your family , my children -- all the people we love so much . i meant what i said to chief bennett . if i had the chance to shoot alistair again , i would shoot to kill . alistair is a monster . he has to die . sam : you know , we all hate alistair for all the things he 's done to us and the people we love . mrs. wheeler -- i mean , that cold steel look in her eyes . i mean , how could she hate someone that she does n't know so intensely ? julian : it 's like the woman has a history with father , a reason to hate him enough to want him dead . sheridan : how can that be ? father and mrs . wheeler just met tonight .

julian : it does n't look good , but she 's going to do everything she can to help father . sam : you know , i 'm amazed that eve is so professional . i know i 'd be tempted to let alistair bleed to death for the way he treated my father and ethan . luis : i could n't agree with sam more . heck , if i 'd have known mrs . wheeler was ok , i doubt i would have even called 911 . sam : speaking of mrs . wheeler , i need to find out what she was doing in the library alone with alistair and why there was a gun . luis : you think she shot alistair intentionally ? julian : well , she does n't even know my father . sam : even so , a man has been shot , and i need to figure out what happened and why . fox : so , what are you saying ? are you saying you could be happy with me ? whitney : fox , before i let myself get upset with you , you know we had some wonderful times together . fox : yeah . whitney : i mean , remember when we were in los angeles and chad was working all the time ? we were together every single day . that was the best summer of my life . fox : well , i had a good time , too . and then , you know , i remember when you found out that i was in love with you , and -- well , you know , you were there . you know what happened . let 's not relive the whole thing . whitney : no , no , i totally know what you 're saying , and i was just wrong . i 'm sorry . fox : it 's ok . it 's totally fine . you have no idea how long i 've waited to hear you say something like this . i 'll tell you a secret . when -- when i thought we could n't be together , i thought i was going to die . so i buried myself in my work because if i sat around thinking about you all day and about how i could n't be with you , i would have driven myself crazy . whitney : well , i 'm driving myself crazy thinking about you right now . whitney : what ? what 's wrong ? fox : my job -- crane industries , my father -- whitney : what ? i mean , are you worried that being with me is going to put your job in jeopardy ? chad : all right , so why is taking a job at crane industries a ticket to getting back at my folks ? paloma : their lies and secrets ruined your life , right ? chad : hell , yeah . paloma : do n't be mad . use the job your father offered you to get even with both of your parents . eve : i 'm about to begin surgery , with your help . sheridan , pilar , i want you to go in the living room with the others . eve 's voice : god , give me the strength not to finish you off . sheridan : i wonder how father got shot . luis : well , i think that 's what sam is about to find out . martin : all right , listen , here 's what you say . you say that alistair tried to rape you at gunpoint . you fought back , and the gun accidentally went off . ok ?

julian : it 's like the woman has a history with father , a reason to hate him enough to want him dead . sheridan : how can that be ? father and mrs . wheeler just met tonight . [ monitor alarm sounds ] sheridan : father -- julian : no , let eve do her job . sheridan : but father ! julian : i know . this could be it . paramedic : he 's crashing , dr . russell . second paramedic : we 're going to lose him ! eve : do n't you dare die on me , alistair . eve 's voice : i want you alive so i can pay you back for all the misery you 've caused me and the people i love ! martin : if alistair does die -- katherine : i may die , as well . whitney : make love to me and make your dream come true .

how could anybody be ? i know how you feel . rebecca 's on m time now that i 'm getting married again . and , um , you know , the longer she 's gone , the more perfect she becomes when i think about her . you know , but the truth is she was beautifully human . never hung up a damn towel in her life . never filled up the car when the gauge was on `` e. `` you know , and every once in a while she would use the word `` impact `` as a verb . victor : she did not . daniel : yeah , she did . you know , and i would do anything to bring her back , but i can't . and i do n't -- i do n't want to be alone . victor : well , rebecca was a saint . chloe 's anything but . daniel : well , that 's one of the things chloe and i have in common . victor : i ca n't help the way i feel about chloe . daniel : well , neither can i . and if you 're gon na make me make a choice between the two of you , well , you 're not gon na like the outcome . melanie : so what do you mean there 's more to this ? chloe : i mean there 's a lot that you 're not thinking about . melanie : like what ? chloe : like if you tell your dad what i did , he 's gon na hate me . and if you tell him about carly knowing what i did , then he 's probably never gon na forgive her either . and if you go and tell your mom off for keeping my secret , then you 're just gon na ruin your relationship with her . look , i know all you 're thinking about right now is getting back at me , but what about after that , huh ? instead of a family , you 're gon na have a -- a miserable , angry father , a heartbroken mother , and a little brother or sister who 's gon na be raised by a very unhappy single woman . now is that what you want ? melanie : are you trying to play me ? like you did my dad ? like you and my mom both did my dad ? because , let me tell you something , you really , really did a number on him . that 's pretty . he gave you this because he loves you so much . right ?

philip : melanie called him this morning , said she needed to see him . he tried calling her back , it went straight to voicemail . same thing happened when i called her . chloe : oh , it 's 'cause she was with me . philip : okay , look , i have to ask you this . chloe : no . n't worry . she does n't know it was you . i would never breathe a word of that to anyone . i 'll -- i 'll die with that information . the only one who knows is father matt , and he ca n't say anything i told him in confession . philip : well , i feel like a big jerk , letting you take all the heat by yourself . chloe : well , kind of has to be this way . it 's bad enough daniel finding out i had a one - night stand with some guy i just met , but if he knew it was you ... philip : might find out how good he is with a scalpel . the hard way . chloe : yeah . melanie would be destroyed . she 's in bad enough shape as it is . philip : i can imagine . she adores daniel . chloe : it 's not only daniel . melanie : look , you did n't tell me anything . i figured it out on my own , so you do n't have to worry about the whole ethics thing . besides , it 's a little overshadowed by the fact that you 've been lying to me . carly : i did n't want to . i begged chloe to tell daniel the truth . i told him that i would tell him she kept saying that she would lose daniel if he found out , and that she would die if she lost him . i made a deal with her . i said that , you know , she got genetic testing and the baby turned out to be daniel 's , then i would keep quiet . melanie : why ? carly : because . because what she did was n't an affair . it was one night . and i believe with my heart that she loves daniel , and i know that he loves her . melanie : when chloe got in that accident you were acting weird , and i kept telling you `` you know something , please tell me , `` and you just lied to me . carly : because you would go to daniel . i knew that . and though he 's a forgiving man , knowing that the woman that he loves had one meaningless night of sex with someone else ... i was afraid he could n't get passed that . i was afraid that he would walk away from her and that baby , and i just could n't let that happen to him . not again . mely from me , mom . you did . carly : that 's right . i lied both times . the first lie kept him from knowing his daughter , for which i will be eternally sorry . the secondeant to ke and his child together . melanie : so carly knows best , right ?

daniel : i want you in my life . i want you in my child 's life some day . but not if you intend to make chloe 's life miserable . i -- i ca n't do it . victor : well , if i 'm not going to be at the uh , guess i 'd better giv well , are n't you gon na open it ? daniel : think i hear it ticking . victor : very funny . daniel : should n't i wait to open it with chloe ? victor : well , i wo n't be there then . daniel : but you can be . all you have to do is make a sincere effort to welcome chloe into the family . victor : you 're sincere enough for the two of us . just open your present . chloe : melanie was about to charge right out of here and go straight to daniel . so i thought that maybe i could gain her sympathy by saying that she was gon na ruin daniel 's life with his child , and then she started to say that this baby ven daniel 's . and so to convince her , i just blurted out that carly helped me prove otherwise . philip : what ? what ? so now she knows that her mother 's been lying to her all this time ? man ! chloe : yeah ... ly do it , which i basically did . philip : i 'm did n't believe that . chloe : no , she thinks that her mother and i have this big plot together . philip : beautiful . chloe : and i 've tried to call carly and warn her all day , but her phone is turned off or sog . i do n't know . this just keeps getting worse and worse . philip : wai where carly is ?

carly : what difference does it make , melanie ? melanie : a lot . how long ? carly : almost from the beginning . melanie : wow . so you were n't -- you were n't trying to make sure daniel had this baby . you 've been in on this since the beginning . trying to make sure that his slut girlfriend can pull one over on him ? carly : no , i felt it should come from chloe . i tried so hard to convince her . melanie : oh , give me a break . what 'd you do ? coach her on the finer points ? 'cause if anybody knows how to lie to daniel and melanie , it 's you . carly : no . no , honey , please . just cal . listen to me . melanie : so you can lie to me some more ? you make me sick . ohh , my throat ! lee : brady in with her visitor ? good . let 's hope she stays there for a while . daniel : oh , my gosh . it 's beautiful . it 's like a museum piece . victor : well , do n't worry . it 's not part of the elgin marbles . i was n't in on that . i wish i had a piece of the action , but ... no , this has been in the kiriakis family for generations . it 's a depiction of hera , goddess of marriage . an inspired choice for the title . she married her brother , who was unfaithful to her . she turned one of his girlfriends into a cow . kept the trojan war going . just an all around great housewife . daniel : are you trying to make a statement with this ? victor : yes . i 'm giving you something that 's very important to me . because you 're very important to me . and if chloe is that important to you , then i 'll accept her into this family with open arms . daniel : thank you . philip : okay . here 's what you do . no more crying . go into your bedroom , get your dress on . chloe : what 's the -- philip : shh . but nothing . i will go find melanie . i will find a way to convince her to keep her mouth shut to daniel . chloe : oh , be careful . philip : melanie loves me . and i love her . i 'm not gon na let this blow up carly : melanie , i 'm sorry i lied to you . melanie : no , you 're not . you 're just sorry i found out . carly : i would n't have if it were n't for the baby . melanie : right . 'cause once again your lies are for the greater good . carly : just think -- think about it . think about what 's best for the baby . melanie : then that 's your call . you get to play god ? about keeping daniel in the dark about being my dad , about letting him marry a whore . carly : no , she 's not . it was n't like that . melanie : she 's -- it was n't ? and i 'm supposed to believe another word that comes out of your mouth ? much less let you jerk around my dad like that anymore . carly : melanie , what are you gon na do ? melanie : i 'm not gon na be like you . carly : and what does that mean ? melanie : if i do n't do something , i 'm not gon na be able to look at myself in the mirror again . so i 'm telling daniel the melanie : the right thing is an about it . i 'm not your wife . | chloe told melanie that carly was the one who did the paternity test . melanie did n't believe chloe until she gave her more details . chloe admitted that the paternity test was done at st. mary 's hospital . that seemed to click with melanie . melanie was furious when she remembered running into carly at the hospital . then she realized chloe told the truth about carly 's involvement . she was ready to tell daniel the truth until chloe tried to play hardball with her . she threw up in melanie 's face that she would have to prove that she cheated on daniel . when that did n't work , she warned melanie that she would be responsible for hurting daniel . that caused melanie to leave the apartment . hope saw april in the infirmary again . she found out that april had an appendicitis . hope wanted to do everything she could to help her . april was really appreciative of hope 's kindness . victor and daniel got into it about chloe . daniel was ready to cut victor out of his life when victor made the mistake of insulting chloe . victor did n't want daniel to cut him out of his life so he wanted to make peace with him . he gave daniel a wedding gift . daniel was touched by the gift and wanted him to come to the wedding . he just wanted victor to accept chloe in his life . victor was willing to accept chloe in the family if it would make daniel happy . daniel was pleased with victor for making the effort to accept chloe . abe and bo spoke at the pier . abe got a phone call about theo and ciara getting into trouble at school . | <s>[INST] chloe : do you have to be like this ? melanie : you say somebody else has seen the results and they know daniel 's the father , and i 'm supposed to just believe you ? chloe : yes . melanie : 'cause you cheated on him and you 've lied about itfonths , and i 'm supposed to just keep my mouth shut and not tell daniel what i know because you say you and somebody else . not just somebody else . it 's your mother . it 's carly . hope : uh , lee ? lee : yeah ? hope : the prisoner number on this woman 's intake sheet does n't match the one on her medical background sheet . do you think it 's a mistake or a change ? lee : i 'll check the main database . if it 's a change , it 'll be noted there . hope : okay . great . i 'll giou lee : nice catch . hope : thanks . lee : i bet you learned to be so careful when you were a cop , right ?

what is this wedding to you ? philip : nothing . nothing . it 's just it 's important to melanie , and i want things to go the way she wants them to go . i just wish i could find her . victor : are you worried about melanie for some specific reason ? daniel : well , why would he be philip : i 'm not . i 'm not . ish she would call me . daniel : well , yeah , she called me this morning saying she had to see me , but now she 's not returning my calls . philip : she 's always forgetting to recharge her phone . that 's probably what this is . i 'm gon na get dressed . uh , you should probably do the same . daniel : all right , i 'll be right up . philip : all right . victor : so big day 's finally arrived , huh ? daniel : a happy wedding , should be a learning experience for you . victor : well , i 'll come over and take notes on the first anniversary . if there is one . daniel : that ' now , i have warned you time after time , but it just does n't register , does it ?

carly : you know , that was the turning point for me . when vivian got here , i swear i just wanted to say to her , `` just do it . just do it . i 'm so sick of fighting you . `` and then i think of you . what it was like to come home and find you here . and i keep fighting . bo : well , that was vivian 's mistake , going after melanie . just brought the two of you closer . carly : mm - hmm . mm , getting to know melanie so that i could protect her , that was a ride . bo : mm - hmm . carly : her not being able to stand me and me loving her so much . seeing firsthand what i 've done to her life , dying inside because all i 've ever wanted was to be her mother . and back then i did n't even think she could like me . bo : carly : yeah . and daniel , he 's forgiven me . he 's lly forgiven he 's hav can raise from day one . bo : yeah , so maybe now you can stop beating up on yourself . carly : it 's just kind of hard to forget the pain you 've caused other people . bo : i know about that , but in your case , maybe you can enjoy the fact that you 've remedied it ? carly : you know what ? melanie 's teo : hmm . carly : `` want 2 have coffee ? `` `` g `` what does ginger look like it 's not in a bottle ? `` i mean , thatlly makes me feel lik bo : being a mom . carly : yeah . i have you and i have her . ught ? bo : what ? carly : that life could be this sweet . melanie : i went with daniel to st . mary 's . to sit in on a consult with a plastic surgeon , and carly was there . and she said she was doing an amnio on a pregnant woman who did n't know who the father was . that was you , was n't it ? chloe : please , listen to me . carly did not mean to get in the middle of this . i begged her to do it . so please , please do not turn on her . god , i should have just kept my mouth shutnd let you go tell daniel . melanie : it 's a little late for the noble act , do n't you think , chloe ? after slutting around for months and lying about it , do n't stand there and pretend like you give a damn about what happens to my mother or any of u chloe : but i do . melanie : then why did you lie ? chloe : i do n't suppose you 'd believe me if i said it 's because i love you all so much . melanie : do n't you alk to me about love . all you care about is yourself . there 's more to this there ? is n't there ! chloe : yeah . there is . without your intervention we never would have got our final product and i truly believe that in my heart . abe : [ clears throat ] bo : oh . abe , hi . i did n't mean to interrupt . carly : you 're not . um , i have to check in at the hospital . then i 'll meet you at the wedding , okay ? bo : okay . carly : okay . nice bo : so what 's going on ? abe : um , a little awkward . um , i saw you , and , um , ith ej , i promised her i 'd find out how hope 's doing . bo : i wish i could tell you in detail , but , um , hope wo n't let me see her . abe : i heard she was attacked by another inmate . bo : yeah , word 's out that she 's a cop . i -- i leaned on the warden , andpposedly they 're giving her more protection . my sister stopped by to see her . abe : yeah , i heard kayla was in town . bo : yeah , and she said hope was doing as well as could be expected . abe : whatever that means . bo : well , well enough to send me divorce papers , 'cause that 's what she did . abe : it 's gon na be hard on you , not being able to talk to her . bo : do n't worry about me . it 's hope . she 's the one who lost her marriage , her job . her self respect . the worst part is she ca n't be with ciara . officer : lee says 's left the facility . hope : for how long ? officer : nobody knows . hope : the girl 's in terrible pain . obviously she 's very sick . someone should call a bus and get her to the emergency room . officer : only the warden can authorize that . hope : okay , well , start working on it . help locate the doctor . april : oh , god ! aah ! hope : i know it 's bad . hang in there , okay ? it 'll be okay . gon na be okay . we 're gon na get you help , and you 're gon na feel much better . i promise . april : where 'd you learn to be so sweet ? hope : i 'm a mother . daniel : are you going to attend the wedding ? victor : if i 'm still invited . daniel : well , that depends . victor : on what ? daniel : on your plan to sabotage it . victor : mm . i plan to just sit back and let chloe handle all that . daniel : you see , see , that 's the problem right there that just wo n't go away . you feel totally comfortable taking pot shots at the woman who is go be my wife . victor : i am your godfather . i promised to look out for you . daniel : yeah , you also promised to renounce the devil . ca n't believe struck by lightning . victor : i know you love chloe . i do n't know why , but i acknowledge it . but i knew rebecca . i watched the two of you together . chloe is never gon na be rebecca . daniel : how could she be ? how could anybody be ? i know how you feel . rebecca 's on m time now that i 'm getting married again . and , um , you know , the longer she 's gone , the more perfect she becomes when i think about her . you know , but the truth is she was beautifully human . never hung up a damn towel in her life . never filled up the car when the gauge was on `` e. `` you know , and every once in a while she would use the word `` impact `` as a verb . victor : she did not . daniel : yeah , she did . you know , and i would do anything to bring her back , but i can't . and i do n't -- i do n't want to be alone . victor : well , rebecca was a saint . chloe 's anything but . daniel : well , that 's one of the things chloe and i have in common . victor : i ca n't help the way i feel about chloe . daniel : well , neither can i . and if you 're gon na make me make a choice between the two of you , well , you 're not gon na like the outcome . melanie : so what do you mean there 's more to this ? chloe : i mean there 's a lot that you 're not thinking about . melanie : like what ? chloe : like if you tell your dad what i did , he 's gon na hate me . and if you tell him about carly knowing what i did , then he 's probably never gon na forgive her either . and if you go and tell your mom off for keeping my secret , then you 're just gon na ruin your relationship with her . look , i know all you 're thinking about right now is getting back at me , but what about after that , huh ? instead of a family , you 're gon na have a -- a miserable , angry father , a heartbroken mother , and a little brother or sister who 's gon na be raised by a very unhappy single woman . now is that what you want ? melanie : are you trying to play me ? like you did my dad ? like you and my mom both did my dad ? because , let me tell you something , you really , really did a number on him . that 's pretty . he gave you this because he loves you so much . right ? you give him back ? herpes ? and please give that back . melanie : there 's more to this . chloe : where are you going ? melanie : tell me , then i 'm gon na find out someplace else . hope : okay , april , they reached the doctor . he 's on his way back . try to breathe . try to breathe . april : oh ... oh , thank god . talk to me . tell me -- tell me about your kids . how many do you have ? hope : i had three . i had three children . i , um , i lost one son in -- in an automobile accident . april : oh , so sorry . hope : thanks . d i have a grandson . actually , you know what ? can you e a grandmother ? april : you ? hope : yeah . april : wow , you look so young . hope : and i have a five - year- old daughter . utiful little girl you could ever imagine . and sweet . april : she 's -- she 's lucky to have you for a mother . hope : i 'm not so sure about that . april : i never , uh ... i never really had a mom . not since i was , uh , two , and they put me in foster care . hope : was it bad ? april : uh ... i never really felt like anybody in the whole world cared about me . till i hooked up with this guy who was in a gang . hope : breathe . it 's okay . it 's gon na be okay . april : ugh . ugh . that 's how i ended up here . i have no one . hope : you have me now . april : oh , god ! oh ! hope : it 's gon na be okay . april : i ca n't stand it . he hope : try to breathe . it 's gon na be okay . i have to find daniel before melanie does . she wanted answers . maybe -- maybe she went to carly . god , please let it be carly . let her talk melanie out of this . god , no , not voicemail . carly , hey , it 's chloe . please call me the second you get this . and please -- please do n't talk to melanie before you talk to me . victor : are you saying that if i do n't approve of this marriage you and i are not going to have a relationship ? daniel : been saying that for a while , victor . victor : have you forgotten that brady got mixed up with chloe and he was never the same ? he came back a drug addict . daniel : well , brady must have had a problem that you d know about . i don't . i expect you to respect me enough to trust me , to trust i know what i 'm doing . philip : is he still talking down chloe ? daniel : yes . victor : do n't refer to your father as `` he . `` [ cell phone rings ] daniel : what is that , lanie ? philip : yeah . chloe : philip , it 's me . i really need to see you . philip : what 's up ?

hope : i wish i could , but i can't . officer : let 's go . hope : it 's gon na be okay . gon na b philip : blow . good . now ... tell me what happened . chloe : melanie came here and i opened the door , and she slapped me and called me a liar , and she said that she knew that i cheated on daniel , and i denied it . i tried saying everything that came to my mind , but she just wore me down . philip : did she say where she got her information ? chloe : nathan horton . philip : oh , i 'm gon na kill that bastard . chloe : he did n't actually say it to her . she overheard him talking to stephanie about it . philip : what ? so she knows too ? chloe : yeah . re daniel finds out . philip : i was just with h he did n't know anything . chloe : what ? philip : melanie called him this morning , said she needed to see him . he tried calling her back , it went straight to voicemail . same thing happened when i called her . chloe : oh , it 's 'cause she was with me . philip : okay , look , i have to ask you this . chloe : no . n't worry . she does n't know it was you . i would never breathe a word of that to anyone . i 'll -- i 'll die with that information . the only one who knows is father matt , and he ca n't say anything i told him in confession . philip : well , i feel like a big jerk , letting you take all the heat by yourself . chloe : well , kind of has to be this way . it 's bad enough daniel finding out i had a one - night stand with some guy i just met , but if he knew it was you ... philip : might find out how good he is with a scalpel . the hard way . chloe : yeah . melanie would be destroyed . she 's in bad enough shape as it is . philip : i can imagine . she adores daniel . chloe : it 's not only daniel . melanie : look , you did n't tell me anything . i figured it out on my own , so you do n't have to worry about the whole ethics thing . besides , it 's a little overshadowed by the fact that you 've been lying to me . carly : i did n't want to . i begged chloe to tell daniel the truth . i told him that i would tell him she kept saying that she would lose daniel if he found out , and that she would die if she lost him . i made a deal with her . i said that , you know , she got genetic testing and the baby turned out to be daniel 's , then i would keep quiet . melanie : why ? carly : because . because what she did was n't an affair . it was one night . and i believe with my heart that she loves daniel , and i know that he loves her . melanie : when chloe got in that accident you were acting weird , and i kept telling you `` you know something , please tell me , `` and you just lied to me . carly : because you would go to daniel . i knew that . and though he 's a forgiving man , knowing that the woman that he loves had one meaningless night of sex with someone else ... i was afraid he could n't get passed that . i was afraid that he would walk away from her and that baby , and i just could n't let that happen to him . not again . mely from me , mom . you did . carly : that 's right . i lied both times . the first lie kept him from knowing his daughter , for which i will be eternally sorry . the secondeant to ke and his child together . melanie : so carly knows best , right ? carly : i just felt i owed him the joy of having another baby . giving that baby just a sweet , safe , happy life . please try and understand that . i was ready to tell daniel the manfound out chloe pregnant . melanie : whoa . whoa . you knew that she cheated on him before you found out she was pregnant ? hope : have you heard anything about april ? lee : not yet . hope : yeah , i guess it 's still too soon . lee : you have a visitor . hope : oh , is it my sister in law ? lee : i do n't know . they told me somebody 's here to see you . you 're supposed to go to ther 's room . sounds important . hope : oh . thanks . victor : should n't you be getting into your monkey suit ? daniel : i want you in my life . i want you in my child 's life some day . but not if you intend to make chloe 's life miserable . i -- i ca n't do it . victor : well , if i 'm not going to be at the uh , guess i 'd better giv well , are n't you gon na open it ? daniel : think i hear it ticking . victor : very funny . daniel : should n't i wait to open it with chloe ? victor : well , i wo n't be there then . daniel : but you can be . all you have to do is make a sincere effort to welcome chloe into the family . victor : you 're sincere enough for the two of us . just open your present . chloe : melanie was about to charge right out of here and go straight to daniel . so i thought that maybe i could gain her sympathy by saying that she was gon na ruin daniel 's life with his child , and then she started to say that this baby ven daniel 's . and so to convince her , i just blurted out that carly helped me prove otherwise . philip : what ? what ? so now she knows that her mother 's been lying to her all this time ? man ! chloe : yeah ... ly do it , which i basically did . philip : i 'm did n't believe that . chloe : no , she thinks that her mother and i have this big plot together . philip : beautiful . chloe : and i 've tried to call carly and warn her all day , but her phone is turned off or sog . i do n't know . this just keeps getting worse and worse . philip : wai where carly is ? chloe : i -- inow . when she was n't answering , i called the hospital , and they said that she 'd signed out for the da probably for this wedding , is n't gon na happen now ! philip : hey , do n't say that . do not say that . chloe : philip , i do n't know what to do . philip : well , i do . melanie : how long have you known that chloe was cheating on daniel ?
