maxie : somebody open this door ! sam : whoa ! what in the world is going on ? maxie : i need to speak with jason immediately . sam : well , he 's not here . what 's going on ? maxie : it 's spinelli . he 's -- sam : what ? maxie : not himself . sam : ok . that 's fine . it 's to be expected . he was shot . he 's probably just going through -- maxie : that 's not what i mean . spinelli woke up from surgery fine . i mean , he looks like himself . he 's just not himself . sam : maxie , you 're not making any sense right now . maxie : neither is spinelli . he has morphed into jackal , p.i . [ scene_break ] jason : ah , spinelli . i 'm glad you 're ok . spinelli : yeah . howdy , morgan . jason : what ? spinelli : you 're supposed to holler back . do n't sweat it . it 's good to see you . not that i 'm complaining about the cute little chickadees rolling in and out of here , but a guy needs a little mano a mano for balance . jason : ok . what -- spinelli : hey , listen . i 'm dusting this joint soon . you know , going back to packing lead and taking out the flotsam . so bring me up to speed . what kind of missions you got on tap for jackal , p.i . once i blow this pop stand ? [ scene_break ] alexis : you know , it pains me to have to punish you . really , it does . but you have to know your actions have consequences -- some not so pleasant . kristina : if you 're going to cut me off at the knees , mom , just do it . alexis : did you learn that regrettable expression from your father ? ok . for starters , you wo n't be going on your senior class trip . kristina : no , mom . it 's cancun . alexis : you already had your little tropical getaway when you decided to sneak off to the dominican republic with a married man . kristina : i did n't sneak . i boarded a plane and left because i 'm almost 19 , and i get to do that . alexis : not while you 're under my roof , you do n't . look at me . you 're forcing me to act like this generic mother . kristina : probably because you know that it 's arbitrary and unfair . alexis : as your mother , i get to be that , too . so while other kids , your friends , are in cancun doing god knows whatever they 're doing , you can stay here and think about what you did that you should n't have done . kristina : well , do i have a choice ? alexis : nope . kristina : are we done ? alexis : nope . and if you think for one minute that i do n't know that you 're trying to get rid of me before ethan walks in here , you profoundly underestimate me , my friend . let me ask you something . are you trying to get ethan killed ? [ scene_break ] sonny : so i 'm really happy you decided to work for me . i know it 's not as exciting as you want it to be , but coffee business , it 's like -- it can be interesting , you know . you might be surprised . michael : we 'll see . sonny : you 'll meet some influential people , see a little bit of the world . michael : from a coffee warehouse ? sonny : no , from the office , 'cause you 'll be going to plantations , meeting suppliers , and -- michael : all right , dad . i 'm not doing that . sonny : what do you mean ? michael : i 'm not signing up for some cushy office job with a travel and expense account . sonny : ok . so what are you saying , that if i do n't give you the exact job that you want , you 're going to go work for the zaccharas ? michael : who said anything about the zaccharas ? sonny : i just feel like you 're hanging it over my head . michael : i 'm not . i 'm sitting here ready to go work at the warehouse . you 're the one making it about the zaccharas . sonny : ok . maybe i just jumped the gun 'cause i want to offer you so much more that does n't include johnny , anthony , or the ugly side of this business . michael : i heard that the first hundred times , dad . now , look . about the coffee business -- i want to be clear on this . i do n't want you paving the way for me . i want to start entry level . sonny : you realize what that is ? it 's loading trucks . michael : it 's an honest day 's work , and it will keep me in shape . sonny : but you got to -- you 're so intelligent . why waste your mind ? you should be doing merchandising , sales , anything else . michael : i can do all that when i get there . i 'll have more experience . i 'll be more valuable knowing all aspects of the business . sonny : i 'm offering you something here , though . michael : no , dad . you 're shoehorning a job in for me over the heads of people who actually deserve it . all i 'm qualified for right now is loading trucks . sonny : it 's a rough , thankless job . michael : someone 's got to do it . sonny : let me tell you something . when i was a kid in bensonhurst , freezing my ass off , you know , selling newspapers , i said to myself , i 'm going to make it , and i 'm going to do better than my family did . and i have kept that promise . and here i am now , offering you something that i never had , and you 're not interested . [ scene_break ] alexis : you know your father . when he gets angry , he has a trigger response . literally . news flash -- he 's really angry . kristina : because you jumped to the wrong conclusion . you told dad that i was running off to marry ethan . of course he 'd go ballistic . alexis : the thought of you marrying ethan makes me want to go ballistic . kristina : honestly , mom , the way that you and dad are talking about him , it 's like he 's some gang - banging drug dealer or something . he 's ethan , remember ? a guy that you actually like . alexis : this is n't about whether we like him or not . this is about you running off to another country behind our backs . and he was married . kristina : the whole point of the trip was to end ethan 's farce of a marriage . alexis : you know what ? we 're not talking about this anymore . what you did is wrong . you 're not going to get away with it . i do n't care how old you are . you live under my roof . you 're supported by your father and i . we make the rules . you follow them or else , ok ? oh , yeah . there 's one more thing . you 're not going on the manhattan overnight trip with us . kristina : i 'm the one who picked out the plates . alexis : i know . i know . i 'm sure they 're going to be really good . thanks . we 'll give you a full report . i 'm missing one . i 'm missing one . ahh . 6 : 00 . you 're coming home every night at 6 : 00 . kristina : 6 : 00 ? alexis : mm - hmm . kristina : how unfair are you ? dad literally gets away with murder , and i 'm grounded because i supported a friend ? alexis : do you think you 're being fair to ethan ? kristina : what do you mean ? alexis : you 're putting him in a situation where he has to take care of you . it 's awkward . kristina : you do n't know anything about us . alexis : honey , there is no us . i 'm sure ethan cares about you as a friend . who would n't ? but he 's not going to cross that line -- '' a , `` because he knows you 're vulnerable , and `` b , `` because he wants to live . if you really care about him , i suggest you find yourself another , more appropriate boyfriend . [ scene_break ] edward : oh . ethan , my boy . it 's been too long . ethan : yes . sorry if i 've been neglecting you , edward . life intruded . edward : mm - hmm . in the form of your drunken lout of a father , luke . he ought to be ashamed of himself . ethan : i 'm pretty sure he 's got that covered . edward : so , any idea where he went ? ethan : well , i know where he was , but chances are , he 's moved on by now . edward : i just consider it good riddance to bad rubbish . you know , when i think of the hell that he put my daughter through , i -- oh , well , never mind . i know you did n't come here to discuss luke and tracy 's marital woes . ethan : actually , i have news about maya . edward : you do ? how wonderful . i was wondering how long you would let this separation go on . but you finally put your foot down , huh ? so , when 's maya coming back ? because i 'll have cook prepare all of her favorites . ethan : yeah . here 's the thing , old chap . maya likes philadelphia . edward : what 's to like ? ethan : [ chuckles ] well , her family , for one . you know , she 's thinking about staying on permanently . edward : well , change her mind . ethan : i ca n't . not from here . edward : have you tried ? ethan : yes , of course i 've tried , but my particular brand of charm works better up close . edward : you know something ? mm . this is too bad . kind of unfortunate turn of events for you , because the deal was in order to get a million dollars , you had to stay married to maya for one year in this city . ethan : yes . i 'm aware . edward : i do n't want maya in philadelphia . i 'm used to having her here . ethan : yeah , well , me as well . edward : and there 's nothing you can do ? ethan : short of dragging her back home on a private plane , i do n't think so . edward : well , i have a private plane . ethan : and you 'd lend it to me ? [ edward and ethan laugh ] edward : for a worthy cause . and this certainly qualifies . ethan : well , i mean , i would need money up - front -- you know , just to finance the trip . edward : hmm . how much ? ethan : not a steep amount . why , a man of your means , i should say $ 250,000 ? [ scene_break ] sam : maybe spinelli was still out of it from the amnesia or just having a little fun at your expense . maxie : i wish . spinelli is different . it 's like i said , he 's become that character from his book . sam : i do n't even know what that means . maxie : he 's calling me things like doll face and sugar lips . sam : ok . maxie : the nurses are dames . he even called diane cookie . sam : did she threaten to sue him ? maxie : no , the woman is perverse . she liked it . i did not . sam : well , have you talked to his doctor ? maxie : all the time . it 's matt . sam : oh . ok . well , what does he say ? maxie : that spinelli did n't have a stroke , which was my first thought . sam : well , that 's why he 's a doctor and you 're not . maxie : yeah . he said there 's no cranial damage , and that spinelli 's brain is completely healthy . sam : does he seem worried ? maxie : no , but matt does not know spinelli like i do . sam : all right . well , what 's your take on it ? maxie : something deeply psychological , wish fulfillment . i mean , that 's why spinelli wrote that book , so he could pretend he was just like that character -- efficient , confident , heroic . sam : well , he certainly lived up to the heroic part . maxie : i know . spinelli literally took a bullet for me . i feel like i need to help him return to the terrific guy that i know he is . and if i ca n't get through to him , i think there 's only one person that can . [ scene_break ] jason : what are you doing , spinelli ? are you practicing a new character for your next book or something ? spinelli : life ai n't practice , morgan . it 's the real deal . one time around the block , and you 're maggot food . jason : whatever this is , it 's got to stop right now , because we have a problem , and i need you to focus . spinelli : ah , yes . problems -- breakfast of champions . lay it on me . jason : i got a call from bernie . you know who bernie is , right ? spinelli : yeah , sure . sure . the bean counter . jason : close to $ 20 million is missing from the offshore accounts . spinelli : inside job ? jason : that 's what you 're supposed to tell me . tracking money , handling transfers -- that 's what you do . spinelli : does n't sound like my cup of tea . jason : bernie said that you told him the money 's going to move automatically so we do n't attract attention from the feds . spinelli : how would i know that ? jason : spinelli , bernie needs the account numbers . i need to find this money . spinelli : you must be pulling my leg . i 'm no keyboard jockey . jason : are you saying that you do n't know how ? spinelli : no clue . [ scene_break ] ethan : i mean , i hate to be so blatant , coming right out and asking for money like this . you know , normally , i 'd fleece some high rollers in a private game , but the haunted star is no more , and time is of the essence . i mean , it 's important that we get maya back before she becomes too comfortable with life in philly . edward : hmm . ethan : also , i mean , we 're still practically newlyweds , you know ? we did n't know each other very well to begin with , so we can not be separated at this crucial stage in our relationship . edward : how 's that coming along ? ethan : what ? edward : your relationship . i 've been thinking about that . ethan : oh , it 's been going really well . edward : good . that 's good to hear . now , i realize what you are going to get out of all this , but i 'm paying all the expenses , and what is my incentive , huh ? ethan : well , that 's the beauty of it . i mean , you get maya back , too . you ca n't deny that you 've grown to love her . [ edward laughs ] ethan : what 's so funny ? edward : oh , god . you are good . i have to hand it to you . you are a chip off the old spencer block . ethan : thank you . edward : maya called me . ethan : she did . edward : mm - hmm . she wanted to tell me personally that she is staying in philadelphia with another man . ethan : right . that may be her intention at the moment . but see , i do have the upper hand , seeing as i 'm her husband and all that . edward : she also mentioned that she had seen you quite recently , and that you were headed to the dominican republic for a quickie divorce . ethan : well , you two certainly covered a lot of territory , did n't you ? edward : hmm . i enjoyed watching you work . it was a very noble effort . [ chuckles ] ethan : so does that mean i do n't get any money ? edward : she cared for you a great deal . ethan : i thought so . just not enough , i guess . edward : in fact , she also liked the fact that you were a little twisted -- maybe too much . but you just did n't figure in the life that she set out for herself . ethan : yeah . i guess you probably did n't , either . edward : well , sometimes that happens -- more often than not . ethan : so , you know , i did give that marriage my best effort . do you think maybe i could get , like , a partial payment ? edward : oh , god . best effort ? hell , you blew it . you had the sweetest of all deals . all you had to do was stay married to that exceptional woman for one year and walk away with a cool half mil . but you drove maya away . out of my house . ethan : but i was enjoying our little visit here . edward : out . ethan : ok . this is me leaving . [ scene_break ] michael : look , dad . i respect you so much . i know where you came from and what it took and cost for you to get here . but you did , dad . nobody handed you anything . you got there on your own merits . i want to be able to say the same thing for myself . sonny : it was different because my father was not in a position to help . if he had been , i 'd have let him . michael : i doubt that , dad . you 're not the kind of guy who takes the easy way out , and neither am i . sonny : why do you have to be so stubborn ? michael : i 'm my father 's son . sonny : all right . michael : look , dad . i 'm not being stubborn . i 'm just being true to myself . sonny : mm - hmm . michael : i agreed to take a job at the coffee warehouse because it 's something i think i can do . sonny : mm - hmm . michael : and once i get -- you know , understand how it all works , then i 'll be ready to take the next step . sonny : all right . all right . no . if that 's what you want , that 's what you 'll get . michael : thank you . sonny : yeah . brenda : hey . oh . hey . michael : hey . brenda : i did n't -- oh , am i interrupting ? sonny : no , 'cause we were just finishing . brenda : oh . ok , good . i heard you 're going to go work at the coffee warehouse . michael : yeah . we were just going over the parameters now . brenda : great . sonny : i 'm happy , you know . michael : um , so -- sonny : hold on . why do n't you tell michael about the incident at kelly 's ? brenda : uh ... sonny : yeah , tell him . brenda : ok . ok . we were -- alec and i were at kelly 's , and anthony walked in and , you know , started talking to alec . so . sonny : you realize that was an implied threat . michael : anthony said he can get to any of your people whenever he wanted to . sonny : right . anthony is upping the game . you get what i 'm saying ? that 's why i do n't want you anywhere near anthony or johnny . get it ? michael : yeah , i got it . sonny : good . michael : so who do i see in the warehouse ? sonny : now ? michael : no time like the present . sonny : ok . joey is his name . and i 'll call him for you , ok ? michael : all right . thanks , dad . sonny : yeah . brenda : bye . michael : bye . brenda : later . good luck . michael : oh . sorry . brenda : that 's ok . [ laughs ] bye . michael : see you . brenda : why 'd you have me do that ? sonny : what ? brenda : what do you mean , what ? tell michael about anthony . sonny : well , because johnny and anthony have been courting michael for a while , and they 're getting close . and now that anthony threatened you , he 's overplayed his hand . [ scene_break ] jason : ok . open this . maybe you 'll remember something . spinelli : where 's the handle on this thing ? jason : are you serious ? here ? spinelli : oh . that 's mildly interesting . jason : spinelli , a lot of money is missing . you need to find it for me . spinelli : yeah . how many smackers did you say ? jason : smackers ? spinelli : you know , mean green , cashola . how many dollars ? jason : 20 million . [ spinelli whistles ] jason : and if you do n't find it , my organization will be compromised . spinelli : tough break , morgan . i feel for you , i really do , but i ca n't help you . sounds like you need one of those tech guys or number crunchers . doll face ! you came back . maxie : stop calling me that . spinelli : oh , mccall . what 's doing at the office ? any dangerous cases that require jackal , p.i . 's special kind of finesse ? maxie : how come you have n't fixed him yet ? [ scene_break ] jason : you need to help me right now . what can you do to make spinelli normal again ? sam : i 'm not sure i want to . jason : what do you mean ? sam : i just kind of like the whole jackal , p.i . thing . i think it 's fun . it 's like -- jason : this guy ca n't work on a computer . spinelli can . i need spinelli back now . [ scene_break ] sam : ok . look at this . it 's a gps program that you created to help us track cheaters . does this look familiar to you ? spinelli , look at this . spinelli : looks like another language . you are sporting some set of gams , sugar lips . maxie : do not call me that . and stop staring at my legs with spinelli 's eyes , because it 's creeping me out . sam : ok , ok . look . what about this ? hey . spinelli : oh , hey . it 's morgan in miniature . that 's clever . maxie : it 's a video game , spinelli . you invented it . spinelli : that does not seem possible . maxie : `` the saga of stone cold `` ? you made a lot of money . spinelli : oh . i got a stash ? what are you doing friday ? maxie : do you see what i mean ? sam : ok . so none of this means anything to you ? spinelli : i hate to say it , but you 're snoozeville with this computer talk . it 's not for me . jackal , p.i . does not sit hunched over a machine . he works in the danger zone . he 's a man of action . he looks death in the eye and sneers . [ scene_break ] sonny : let 's not talk about anthony , 'cause it 's such a beautiful day . why do n't you take alec to the lake , feed the ducks -- brenda : no , no , no . i do n't want to feed the ducks with alec without you . so why do n't you take me out on your speedboat ? sonny : you know what ? there 's nothing i would love more than that , but the thing is -- brenda : but ? but what , babe ? what , business ? sonny : it 's scarier than business . brenda : why do n't you tell me ? sonny : alexis . she 's coming over . we 're going to talk about kristina because alexis is too lenient . she lets kristina run riot over her , and molly , too , for that matter . kristina is testing boundaries . she needs to know where the boundaries are . and we should n't just move them around to suit kristina 's needs . brenda : ok , but you know how i feel about this . and i 'm just saying , you know , that 's fine . but make sure you listen to how alexis feels , because she may have a more realistic view on what it actually feels like to be a girl . sonny : realistic ? ok . you tell me how we can do that and how we can get rid of kristina 's huge crush on ethan . brenda : get rid of ? sonny : well , whatever . i ca n't deal with it anymore because alexis always has him around , like the graduation . kristina walks in the door , and guess who she walks in with ? him , right ? brenda : yeah . sonny : alexis is happy . she 's gleaming . and she lets them go for a walk . brenda : [ gasps ] oh , wow . sonny : yeah . for a walk . brenda : i did n't know she let them go for a walk . oh , no ! a walk ? sonny : you know what ? you can laugh all you want , but things are going to change . brenda : ahem . look . you know how i feel about this , right ? and i am going to stay out of it , like you asked me to . but i just want you to know , honey , there 's no father in history that has ever won the battle over a teenage girl who thinks she 's in love . [ scene_break ] ethan : you think you got some work you can throw my way ? johnny : yeah . i got something in the works , but it 's going to take a couple of weeks . if you need me to spot you financially in the meantime , i can do that . ethan : oh , no , no . i appreciate it , but i 'm good . johnny : cheers ? ethan : yeah . not a whole lot of that going around . johnny : i can tell . you want to talk about it ? ethan : there 's nothing to talk about . i caught maya with another man . johnny : really ? ethan : yep . we 're divorced now . johnny : well . i did n't see that coming . ethan : yeah , join the club . johnny : well , how does that make you feel ? [ ethan laughs ] johnny : no , i 'm serious . that sucks . i 'm sorry . ethan : you win some , you lose some , you know ? johnny : well , you can drop the facade . i know you had feelings for her . ethan : does n't matter , does it ? anyway , i actually just came by to warn you , storm clouds are brewing . johnny : oh , that ai n't good . ethan : sonny 's pissed off . i think anthony 's making his presence known . johnny : yeah . well , those two are always itching for a fight . ethan : where does that leave you ? johnny : smack in the middle , as usual . but if i play my cards right , i could hold off armageddon after all . ethan : how ? johnny : the key to dealing with sonny is through michael . [ scene_break ] [ knock on door ] jason : just find somebody else to track the money . ok . let me know . edward : may i come in ? jason : sure . edward : jason , i know you are n't much on small talk , so i 'll get right to the point . monica and i were deeply hurt that we were n't invited to michael 's graduation . jason : i 'm sorry . edward : no need to apologize . our disappointment was mitigated by the relief that michael actually lived to experience this rite of passage . and i want to capitalize on that momentum , get him on a fast track . jason : to what , exactly ? edward : i want to offer michael a summer internship at elq . it 's time he got back to his real family . jason : michael already has a job . he 's working the coffee warehouse this summer . edward : that 's a mob front . that 's no place for michael . jason : the coffee business is actually legitimate , grandfather . edward : i do n't expect you to say anything different . so , michael plan to go to college ? jason : he got accepted at pcu . edward : excellent . all the more imperative that he learns how a real corporation is run . so , are his grades good ? jason : yeah . they 're very , very good . edward : you know , i should n't even have to be asking you these questions . you know that . jason : i do n't want to fight . i mean , you want michael to work for elq ? you should talk to him . it 's up to him to decide that . edward : he 'll do what you say . jason : michael does what he wants . edward : maybe . but you exert a great deal of influence . if you support his going to elq , he 's much more likely to agree . jason : i think you 're giving me too much credit . edward : hmm . so that 's your answer , huh ? michael is 19 , and you wash your hands of any responsibility in his future , huh ? i do n't want to fight with you either , jason . you had the very best of intentions . but when michael was a baby , you handed him over to sonny . and michael has been paying the price for it ever since . now , this is your chance to make things right . [ scene_break ] brenda : remember , i was 18 when i fell in love with you . and you are way more unsuitable than ethan . and no one could change my mind about you . so , you know , sonny , unfortunately , you love who you love . [ door opens and shuts ] sonny : wow . alexis : hi . i 'm sorry if you 're in the middle of something . sonny : come on in . come on in . brenda : actually , he 's happy that he 's not going to have to hear my unsolicited advice anymore . so good luck , both of you . alexis : why do i need luck ? sonny : i just want to talk about , you know , kristina 's summer . alexis : that 's why i need luck . sonny : i just wanted to make sure that we 're on the same page , as far as punishment , because she left the country with ethan , and i do n't want her seeing him anymore . alexis : done . done . sonny : what does that mean , done ? alexis : i took care of it . she 's not going on her senior class trip . she really wanted to do that . she 's not going to manhattan with me and molly on this theater overnight thing that we planned for months . she really , really wanted to do that . and she 's got a curfew . 6 : 00 every night , she 's home for the rest of her life . sonny : yeah . yeah . alexis : i think that 's good punishment . sonny : that 's a start . alexis : sonny , let 's talk about ethan for a second . you know , if we force her to stay away from him , which we really ca n't do , we 're just sort of begging her to defy us . it 's just not a battle we 're going to win . sonny : so am i supposed to just put my hands up in the air and let my teenage daughter go out with a con man ? that 's not happening . alexis : no . if you do n't mind , this is kind of where you trip yourself up a little bit . when you say things like , `` i 'm not going to let ... `` people have free will , even teenagers . they do have free will . it makes our country great . sonny : but you 're too soft . you let her run circles around you . you 're the mother , you know . i 'm the dad . i tell her what to do , she 's going to do it . alexis : oh , my god . i just do n't know what to say , that 's just so wrong . you 're such a neanderthal . you really are . sonny : oh , really . alexis : you know , join us , please . join us in the 21st century . sonny : hah . ok . right , right . alexis : ok . listen . you got to have faith . sonny : you got to have faith ? alexis : that 's right . you need to have a little faith , because there are going to be things that she does that we just do n't have any control over . sonny : the last time we let kristina run with love , she went to a guy who beat the hell out of her . you all right with that ? alexis : you 're seriously asking me if -- no . do n't talk . just listen for a second . ethan is not kiefer . sonny : ok . to you , kiefer was n't kiefer until our daughter wound up in the hospital beat up . alexis : you 're going to insist on this . let me ask you a question . so you think ethan is going to beat up kristina ? sonny : i do n't know what ethan 's going to do , but i 'm not going to sit around and find out at my daughter 's expense . and i do n't understand where all this , like , love for ethan 's coming from . alexis : what ? sonny : last time i saw you , you had your bag and your mouth like this , and you were scared to death that they were going to elope . alexis : oh , my god . i do n't even know -- i 'm speechless .

[ scene_break ] ethan : i mean , i hate to be so blatant , coming right out and asking for money like this . you know , normally , i 'd fleece some high rollers in a private game , but the haunted star is no more , and time is of the essence . i mean , it 's important that we get maya back before she becomes too comfortable with life in philly . edward : hmm . ethan : also , i mean , we 're still practically newlyweds , you know ? we did n't know each other very well to begin with , so we can not be separated at this crucial stage in our relationship . edward : how 's that coming along ? ethan : what ? edward : your relationship . i 've been thinking about that . ethan : oh , it 's been going really well . edward : good . that 's good to hear . now , i realize what you are going to get out of all this , but i 'm paying all the expenses , and what is my incentive , huh ? ethan : well , that 's the beauty of it . i mean , you get maya back , too . you ca n't deny that you 've grown to love her .

[ chuckles ] ethan : so does that mean i do n't get any money ? edward : she cared for you a great deal . ethan : i thought so . just not enough , i guess . edward : in fact , she also liked the fact that you were a little twisted -- maybe too much . but you just did n't figure in the life that she set out for herself . ethan : yeah . i guess you probably did n't , either . edward : well , sometimes that happens -- more often than not . ethan : so , you know , i did give that marriage my best effort . do you think maybe i could get , like , a partial payment ? edward : oh , god . best effort ? hell , you blew it . you had the sweetest of all deals . all you had to do was stay married to that exceptional woman for one year and walk away with a cool half mil . but you drove maya away . out of my house . ethan : but i was enjoying our little visit here . edward : out . ethan : ok . this is me leaving .

[ scene_break ] johnny : so , what do you think i 've done to you this time , sonny ? sonny : well , i just got -- i got the report from the garage after kate 's car stalled when she left jake 's . somebody happened to , you know , mess with the engine . johnny : so , naturally , you 'd assume it 's me . sonny : well , look . i mean , did you just happen to be driving right there , the -- the exact time that night , you know what i mean ? johnny : you sure are paranoid . sonny : well , i do n't hear you deny it . johnny : because i 've got no reason to defend myself . but , hey , while we 're throwing around accusations , how do i know it was n't you who messed with her car ? sonny : why would i do that ? johnny : i do n't know . maybe you were hoping she was gon na call you , you come play the hero , you score some points , and -- i mean , god knows , you probably need the points if you 're trying to get back with her this late in the game . sonny : yeah , i 've already won that game . johnny : maybe you 're just looking for an excuse to come after me . sonny : maybe i 'm just looking for a reason . please give me one . johnny : if that 's what you want . sonny : no . here 's what i want . [ sighs ] i want you and your crazy father to get out of my city . johnny : come on , sonny . get real . you need the zaccharas . if we were to leave town , every one of the five families would be on you like a bum on a bologna sandwich . not to mention they would n't be as lenient with your family and your kids as i 've been . we have a truce . or do we not ? is that what you 're trying to tell me ? sonny : i have n't said anything yet . johnny : well , you 've made it abundantly clear that you do n't like to share your women , your territory . so , what happens now ? i assume the position and you hang me over my balcony again ? sonny : [ chuckles ] you know what , johnny ? i 'm -- i 'm gon na -- i 'm gon na find out what happened with kate 's engine . and when i do , whoever did what is gon na have to deal with the consequences . johnny : fair enough . you know , it 's pretty clear , sonny , that you do n't like the peace . it keeps a guy like you with nothing to do . you get bored , no challenge . but i 'm gon na promise you , you keep showing up at my door and you push me , i 'll give you just that . [ scene_break ] maggie : aiden 's doing really well , and he should make a full recovery . lucky : [ sighs ] okay . why -- why -- why did he need a transfusion ? maggie : aiden 's suffering from itp . it basically means that his platelet levels are really low and it causes him to bruise and bleed easily . the situation could have become critical if he had n't been brought in right when he was . lucky : i - i 'd like to see him if that 's okay . i mean -- maggie : he 's asleep right now . um , he needs to rest for a few hours , and then we 'll start him on his course of medication -- lucky : yeah , i - i - i 'm not gon na wake him up or anything . i just -- i want to -- i want to be close to him . maggie : seeing him could be good medicine . lucky : thank you . tracy : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] anthony : easy there , rambo . what are you gon na do ? lift some cars in the parking garage after this ? john , you would n't have to work out your frustrations like this if you 'd just take my advice and go get yourself a good woman . johnny : [ sighs ] anthony : of course , the last one you had put a rusty nail in my gut and a needle in your neck . johnny : yeah . well , lisa 's gone , and you 're healed . end of story . enough about it . anthony : i 'm healed thanks to that handy doctor you got in your back pocket . what is it exactly you 're holding over dr. webber 's head ? johnny : just be grateful . anthony : fine . but while we 're on the subject of people you own , you need to go buy yourself another cop , especially now that sonny 's sniffing around again . johnny : eavesdropping , pop ? anthony : i 'm not surprised sonny 's trying to throw his weight around again . he 's been awful quiet lately . johnny : well , you can rest assured that it was n't about business . it was more about sonny wanting to be kate 's shiny knight . anthony : sonny does n't like to share , like you just said . and like he just said , he wants us gone . i 'm serious , john . you need to find a cop who will work for us . sonny 's already got one . it 's too bad that bullet i put in sonny 's kid to save your ass was n't an accidental kill shot . i guess i 'm getting rusty . [ scene_break ] dante : i need to know if whoever shot me works for sonny , if i saw something i was n't supposed to see , or -- or if was someone else entirely . kate : and i 'm supposed to believe this has nothing to do with lulu ? dante : why would this have anything to do with lulu ? kate : because maybe you 're blaming sonny that your engagement got stalled and the wedding might not happen at all . dante : [ scoffs ] where did you come up with this stuff ? kate : just stating an obvious fact . dante : obvious fact ? w - w - what should be obvious to me and you , cousin connie , is that i got shot , you should want to find someone who did it . kate : look , dante . sonny is your father . he would never intentionally harm you . dante : are you sure about that ? kate : yes , i am sure . and i know that your relationship is complicated , but he would never compromise -- dante : look , sonny obviously knows more than he 's telling me , so i 'm gon na keep asking these questions until i get the answers i 'm looking for , so why do n't we start from the top ? why do n't you tell me what really happened at the warehouse the night of this supposed photo shoot ? sonny : what the hell you doing here ? dante : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] olivia : oh , honey , i do n't like that dante is on the job anymore than you do . but you know what ? that 's -- that 's the guy that you fell in love with . that 's dante . that 's what it is to be involved with a cop . lulu : yeah . but i do n't want to end up like one of those widows from brooklyn . olivia : what are you getting at ? lulu : i overheard you talking to steve in the , um , hospital when dante was there , about all the cops ' wives that were widowed from the neighborhood . that really -- that hit home for me . olivia : honey . what you did n't hear me say there was , there 's not a single one of those women that would trade one second of the time that they spent with those men that they loved . honey , that 's what this is all about . it 's about what you do with the time that you have , because nobody knows when this is gon na end . lulu : right , but i do n't know if i 'm the type of person that can live every single day with the threat of loss . olivia : well , i hate to disappoint you , honey , but you do n't have a choice , whether you 're with dante or anyone else . if you 're living on this earth , your time 's coming , and you can think about that as -- as morbid or as scary if you want to , but it just is what it is . the only question that you got to ask yourself is -- is -- is , `` how do i want to go off of this earth ? never having taken a chance at happiness with the guy that i love ? never -- never joining my life with that person ? `` maybe i - i -- i do n't know . meeting up again in some future time and place . lulu : so , do you think love goes on after you die ? olivia : i 'll tell you what . if i had the kind of love that you and dante have ... i would hang on to it with everything i got . but that 's just me . lulu : [ sighs ] i know that we need to talk . we just -- we have n't seen each other since , um , aiden was in the hospital . olivia : what do you mean ? what is that ? lulu : um , he had some problem with his platelet count , and so he had a blood transfusion from me , actually , and he 's gon na be put on medicine . olivia : [ sighs ] steve must be going out of his mind . i had no idea . lulu : actually , there was a new doctor who was helping him , a dr. wurth . she was really good . olivia : yeah . maggie . lulu : you know her ? olivia : i - i met her the other day . she was a , uh , colleague of steve 's from memphis . lulu : that kind of a colleague ? olivia : mm - hmm . they dated . lulu : oh . olivia : [ chuckles ] lulu : that 's annoying . [ both laugh ] are you jealous ? olivia : honestly -- honestly , really , i 'm not . but i 'll tell you what . there 's more going on there than -- than he 's willing to talk about .

[ scene_break ] steve : i heard aiden 's doing better . maggie : and you 're surprised ? steve : just confirms why i brought you here , even though the chief is already questioning my judgment . maggie : robin seems like a good doctor and a smart woman . if she decides to let me go , that 's her mistake . steve : maggie , you orchestrated luke spencer faking a heart attack to jump the line in the lab . that 's pretty extreme . maggie : it was angina , not a heart attack . and if i had waited my turn , your nephew might not be with us right now . steve : i 'm just saying , you took a big chance . maggie : do n't pretend you did n't know what you were signing up for when you asked me to come here . [ scene_break ] tracy : what are you doing here ? luke : i 'm trying to turn a jack into a king . i know that sounds impossible , turning something that you know to be one thing into another . tracy : lucky 's back . aiden 's doing well , if you care . luke : i 'm glad he 's gon na be okay . tracy : thanks to you . luke : no . spanky , i just drove him to the hospital . credit for the save goes to his father 's intuition . tracy : you still ca n't accept that you did something good ? luke : does that punch my ticket ? am i validated , or do i get demerits for , uh , blood - alcohol level ? tracy : i guess that depends . luke : on what ? judge for yourself . [ scene_break ] lulu : officer padilla . should i call you delores ? off . padilla : i 'm on duty at the moment , so it 's officer padilla . lulu : officer padilla . well , i never got the chance to thank you for driving me to the hospital the other day . so , thank you . off . padilla : you 're welcome . now , if you do n't mind , ms. falconeri and i need to talk . lulu : oh . you know what ? i 'm just gon na stay here . olivia : um , what kind i do for you ? off . padilla : the department is asking everyone who was on the boat the night in question to submit their clothes they were wearing at the time . olivia : okay . a - actually , you know what ? t - that dress is at the cleaners at the moment . off . padilla : at the cleaners ? olivia : yeah . off . padilla : any particular reason why ? maybe some stains you 're trying to get out ? olivia : or maybe i just like wearing clean clothes . i - i do n't think i like where this is going . lulu : wow . i do n't , either . it was not subtle , but it was rude . off . padilla : you know what ? this is an official police investigation . i can ask you to leave . olivia : you know what ? you know what ? that 's -- it 's good . we 're fine . we 're fine . just -- what else ? off . padilla : so far , you 've told me that you were trying to fix the boat 's engine that night . olivia : yeah . we could n't find the captain anywhere . i figured i 'd give it a shot . lulu : you know what ? i do n't think that you should be answering any questions without a lawyer present . i 'm just saying . olivia : uh , look . it 's okay , lulu . thank you , but i - i just -- where is this going ? off . padilla : well , i think that you decided to take matters into your own hands that night . olivia : yes , i did . the boat was n't going anywhere . steve 's a surgeon . they needed him back at the hospital . i did n't think it was a crime to fix a boat . off . padilla : no , it 's not . it 's just -- it sounds to me like you 're a woman who does n't like anything or anyone standing in the way of what you want . [ scene_break ] dante : i 'm just asking kate some questions . it 's not a big deal . sonny : it 's a big deal if it 's official . you back on duty ? kate : apparently , the pcpd has taken issue with me using your coffee warehouse for the photo shoot . sonny : if you think kate has anything to do with you being shot , she does n't . dante : well , you sound kind of confident . is there something else you know ? sonny : you want to go through this again ? you think i would have michael working for me at the coffee warehouse if there 's illegal things going on ? dante : i think you know a hell of a lot more than you 're telling me about what happened that night . sonny : you were shot in the back and left to die . that 's what happened . i want to find out who 's responsible as much as you do ! dante : okay . let 's go back to -- can we go back to this fashion - shoot thing ? i mean , it sounds like -- like a cover - up . sonny : a - are n't you supposed to be recovering and spending time with lulu and ... dante : look , i - i do n't think you shot me , okay ? but maybe one of the guys working for you does n't share that sentiment . [ cell phone rings ] dante : look , i will find out what happened that night and what this whole cover - up thing is all about , okay ? and , connie , you seem like a really , really smart lady , okay ? i know you are . smart people seem to make bad choices sometimes . do n't be one of them . excuse me . kate : [ sighs ] sonny : it 's not a good time , right ? you and me , we 're going on a trip . he had no right -- kate : no , he had every right , sonny , because the truth is , i covered for you so you could hide seven bags of drugs in your warehouse . sonny : drugs that they were using to frame me , kate . what are you talking about ? kate : [ sighs ] maybe this is a bad idea that i got involved . maybe going to new york is another one . [ scene_break ] lucky : you know how grateful i am to see you ... that you 're okay ? you only have so many people to be thankful to -- dr . wurth , lulu , in some strange way , siobhan and jake . yeah ? aiden : [ coos ] lucky : i know . i know . it does n't make any sense . but you know what ? maybe it does n't have to , you know ? maybe everything just worked out the way it was supposed to . like the fact that the person who picked up the phone when i called was my father and he brought you in ... to save you . [ scene_break ] tracy : so , the bottle 's open . luke : it has been for a while . tracy : and as far as i can tell , it 's still full . luke : do you know what kind of oxidation i 've inflicted on a perfectly good , not to mention pricey , bottle of hooch ? tracy : no . but i know you could n't have said the word `` oxidation `` if it had n't been a fresh bottle . so , you opened it and you did n't drink it . was that some kind of a test ? luke : you know me . i always live on the edge . tracy : why ? luke : 'cause it 's the only way i know how to be , spanky . but i do miss my filter . i will admit that . seeing the world without it , i 'm not so sure i like the view . tracy : and what would you filter out ? if lucky called and you had been drinking and he asked you to take aiden to the hospital , would you have done it ? [ scene_break ] sonny : you backing out on the trip ? kate : no , i did n't say that . just said that maybe going is a mistake . i have no idea what your expectations are . sonny : i got no expectations . kate : since when ? sonny : i mean , look , it 's not like ... i got desires , right ? i got -- and hope , but i got -- i do n't expect anything . kate : you know , you say that you want to go back to the place where everything started with us . sonny : right . kate : which is interesting because you do n't want to look back . you want to continue moving forward . sonny : but we do n't have to hold on to those memories . we can find some new ones , right ? and -- and , you know , the -- the -- the place can , you know , give us , like , new meaning , you know ? we do n't know what 's going on , right ? do you hear what i 'm saying ? kate : sonny . sonny : what ? kate : sonny , i ca n't -- i ca n't go with you , not like this . sonny : come on . come on . you want to go . kate : no , i absolutely refuse to be seen with you in that coat . i do have a reputation to uphold , remember ? take it off . sonny : [ chuckles ] take what -- kate : take your coat off . sonny : [ laughs ] uh ... kate : do n't look .

[ scene_break ] johnny : so , what do you think i 've done to you this time , sonny ? sonny : well , i just got -- i got the report from the garage after kate 's car stalled when she left jake 's . somebody happened to , you know , mess with the engine . johnny : so , naturally , you 'd assume it 's me . sonny : well , look . i mean , did you just happen to be driving right there , the -- the exact time that night , you know what i mean ? johnny : you sure are paranoid . sonny : well , i do n't hear you deny it . johnny : because i 've got no reason to defend myself . but , hey , while we 're throwing around accusations , how do i know it was n't you who messed with her car ? sonny : why would i do that ? johnny : i do n't know . maybe you were hoping she was gon na call you , you come play the hero , you score some points , and -- i mean , god knows , you probably need the points if you 're trying to get back with her this late in the game . sonny : yeah , i 've already won that game . johnny : maybe you 're just looking for an excuse to come after me . sonny : maybe i 'm just looking for a reason . please give me one . johnny : if that 's what you want . sonny : no . here 's what i want .

[ scene_break ] maggie : aiden 's doing really well , and he should make a full recovery . lucky : [ sighs ] okay . why -- why -- why did he need a transfusion ? maggie : aiden 's suffering from itp . it basically means that his platelet levels are really low and it causes him to bruise and bleed easily . the situation could have become critical if he had n't been brought in right when he was . lucky : i - i 'd like to see him if that 's okay . i mean -- maggie : he 's asleep right now . um , he needs to rest for a few hours , and then we 'll start him on his course of medication -- lucky : yeah , i - i - i 'm not gon na wake him up or anything . i just -- i want to -- i want to be close to him . maggie : seeing him could be good medicine . lucky : thank you . tracy : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] anthony : easy there , rambo . what are you gon na do ? lift some cars in the parking garage after this ? john , you would n't have to work out your frustrations like this if you 'd just take my advice and go get yourself a good woman . johnny : [ sighs ] anthony : of course , the last one you had put a rusty nail in my gut and a needle in your neck . johnny : yeah . well , lisa 's gone , and you 're healed . end of story . enough about it . anthony : i 'm healed thanks to that handy doctor you got in your back pocket . what is it exactly you 're holding over dr. webber 's head ? johnny : just be grateful . anthony : fine . but while we 're on the subject of people you own , you need to go buy yourself another cop , especially now that sonny 's sniffing around again . johnny : eavesdropping , pop ? anthony : i 'm not surprised sonny 's trying to throw his weight around again . he 's been awful quiet lately . johnny : well , you can rest assured that it was n't about business . it was more about sonny wanting to be kate 's shiny knight . anthony : sonny does n't like to share , like you just said . and like he just said , he wants us gone . i 'm serious , john . you need to find a cop who will work for us . sonny 's already got one . it 's too bad that bullet i put in sonny 's kid to save your ass was n't an accidental kill shot . i guess i 'm getting rusty . [ scene_break ] dante : i need to know if whoever shot me works for sonny , if i saw something i was n't supposed to see , or -- or if was someone else entirely . kate : and i 'm supposed to believe this has nothing to do with lulu ? dante : why would this have anything to do with lulu ? kate : because maybe you 're blaming sonny that your engagement got stalled and the wedding might not happen at all . dante : [ scoffs ] where did you come up with this stuff ? kate : just stating an obvious fact . dante : obvious fact ? w - w - what should be obvious to me and you , cousin connie , is that i got shot , you should want to find someone who did it . kate : look , dante . sonny is your father . he would never intentionally harm you . dante : are you sure about that ? kate : yes , i am sure . and i know that your relationship is complicated , but he would never compromise -- dante : look , sonny obviously knows more than he 's telling me , so i 'm gon na keep asking these questions until i get the answers i 'm looking for , so why do n't we start from the top ? why do n't you tell me what really happened at the warehouse the night of this supposed photo shoot ? sonny : what the hell you doing here ? dante : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] olivia : oh , honey , i do n't like that dante is on the job anymore than you do . but you know what ? that 's -- that 's the guy that you fell in love with . that 's dante . that 's what it is to be involved with a cop . lulu : yeah . but i do n't want to end up like one of those widows from brooklyn . olivia : what are you getting at ? lulu : i overheard you talking to steve in the , um , hospital when dante was there , about all the cops ' wives that were widowed from the neighborhood . that really -- that hit home for me . olivia : honey . what you did n't hear me say there was , there 's not a single one of those women that would trade one second of the time that they spent with those men that they loved . honey , that 's what this is all about . it 's about what you do with the time that you have , because nobody knows when this is gon na end . lulu : right , but i do n't know if i 'm the type of person that can live every single day with the threat of loss . olivia : well , i hate to disappoint you , honey , but you do n't have a choice , whether you 're with dante or anyone else . if you 're living on this earth , your time 's coming , and you can think about that as -- as morbid or as scary if you want to , but it just is what it is . the only question that you got to ask yourself is -- is -- is , `` how do i want to go off of this earth ? never having taken a chance at happiness with the guy that i love ? never -- never joining my life with that person ? `` maybe i - i -- i do n't know . meeting up again in some future time and place . lulu : so , do you think love goes on after you die ? olivia : i 'll tell you what . if i had the kind of love that you and dante have ... i would hang on to it with everything i got . but that 's just me . lulu : [ sighs ] i know that we need to talk . we just -- we have n't seen each other since , um , aiden was in the hospital . olivia : what do you mean ? what is that ? lulu : um , he had some problem with his platelet count , and so he had a blood transfusion from me , actually , and he 's gon na be put on medicine . olivia : [ sighs ] steve must be going out of his mind . i had no idea . lulu : actually , there was a new doctor who was helping him , a dr. wurth . she was really good . olivia : yeah . maggie . lulu : you know her ? olivia : i - i met her the other day . she was a , uh , colleague of steve 's from memphis . lulu : that kind of a colleague ? olivia : mm - hmm . they dated . lulu : oh . olivia : [ chuckles ] lulu : that 's annoying . [ both laugh ] are you jealous ? olivia : honestly -- honestly , really , i 'm not . but i 'll tell you what . there 's more going on there than -- than he 's willing to talk about . [ knock on door ] olivia : every time her name or memphis comes up , he gets this weird look on his face . lulu : no . really ? olivia : [ sighs ] okay . off . padilla : ms. falconeri ? olivia : yes ? off . padilla : i just need to ask you a few more questions about the night that lisa niles died . [ scene_break ] steve : i heard aiden 's doing better . maggie : and you 're surprised ? steve : just confirms why i brought you here , even though the chief is already questioning my judgment . maggie : robin seems like a good doctor and a smart woman . if she decides to let me go , that 's her mistake . steve : maggie , you orchestrated luke spencer faking a heart attack to jump the line in the lab . that 's pretty extreme . maggie : it was angina , not a heart attack . and if i had waited my turn , your nephew might not be with us right now . steve : i 'm just saying , you took a big chance . maggie : do n't pretend you did n't know what you were signing up for when you asked me to come here . [ scene_break ] tracy : what are you doing here ? luke : i 'm trying to turn a jack into a king . i know that sounds impossible , turning something that you know to be one thing into another . tracy : lucky 's back . aiden 's doing well , if you care . luke : i 'm glad he 's gon na be okay . tracy : thanks to you . luke : no . spanky , i just drove him to the hospital . credit for the save goes to his father 's intuition . tracy : you still ca n't accept that you did something good ? luke : does that punch my ticket ? am i validated , or do i get demerits for , uh , blood - alcohol level ? tracy : i guess that depends . luke : on what ? judge for yourself .

[ scene_break ] dante : i 'm just asking kate some questions . it 's not a big deal . sonny : it 's a big deal if it 's official . you back on duty ? kate : apparently , the pcpd has taken issue with me using your coffee warehouse for the photo shoot . sonny : if you think kate has anything to do with you being shot , she does n't . dante : well , you sound kind of confident . is there something else you know ? sonny : you want to go through this again ? you think i would have michael working for me at the coffee warehouse if there 's illegal things going on ? dante : i think you know a hell of a lot more than you 're telling me about what happened that night . sonny : you were shot in the back and left to die . that 's what happened . i want to find out who 's responsible as much as you do ! dante : okay . let 's go back to -- can we go back to this fashion - shoot thing ? i mean , it sounds like -- like a cover - up . sonny : a - are n't you supposed to be recovering and spending time with lulu and ... dante : look , i - i do n't think you shot me , okay ? but maybe one of the guys working for you does n't share that sentiment . [ cell phone rings ] dante : look , i will find out what happened that night and what this whole cover - up thing is all about , okay ? and , connie , you seem like a really , really smart lady , okay ? i know you are . smart people seem to make bad choices sometimes . do n't be one of them . excuse me . kate : [ sighs ] sonny : it 's not a good time , right ? you and me , we 're going on a trip . he had no right -- kate : no , he had every right , sonny , because the truth is , i covered for you so you could hide seven bags of drugs in your warehouse . sonny : drugs that they were using to frame me , kate . what are you talking about ? kate : [ sighs ] maybe this is a bad idea that i got involved . maybe going to new york is another one . [ scene_break ] lucky : you know how grateful i am to see you ... that you 're okay ? you only have so many people to be thankful to -- dr . wurth , lulu , in some strange way , siobhan and jake . yeah ? aiden : [ coos ] lucky : i know . i know . it does n't make any sense . but you know what ? maybe it does n't have to , you know ? maybe everything just worked out the way it was supposed to . like the fact that the person who picked up the phone when i called was my father and he brought you in ... to save you . [ scene_break ] tracy : so , the bottle 's open . luke : it has been for a while . tracy : and as far as i can tell , it 's still full . luke : do you know what kind of oxidation i 've inflicted on a perfectly good , not to mention pricey , bottle of hooch ? tracy : no . but i know you could n't have said the word `` oxidation `` if it had n't been a fresh bottle . so , you opened it and you did n't drink it . was that some kind of a test ? luke : you know me . i always live on the edge . tracy : why ? luke : 'cause it 's the only way i know how to be , spanky . but i do miss my filter . i will admit that . seeing the world without it , i 'm not so sure i like the view . tracy : and what would you filter out ? if lucky called and you had been drinking and he asked you to take aiden to the hospital , would you have done it ? [ scene_break ] sonny : you backing out on the trip ? kate : no , i did n't say that . just said that maybe going is a mistake . i have no idea what your expectations are . sonny : i got no expectations . kate : since when ? sonny : i mean , look , it 's not like ... i got desires , right ? i got -- and hope , but i got -- i do n't expect anything . kate : you know , you say that you want to go back to the place where everything started with us . sonny : right . kate : which is interesting because you do n't want to look back . you want to continue moving forward . sonny : but we do n't have to hold on to those memories . we can find some new ones , right ? and -- and , you know , the -- the -- the place can , you know , give us , like , new meaning , you know ? we do n't know what 's going on , right ? do you hear what i 'm saying ? kate : sonny . sonny : what ? kate : sonny , i ca n't -- i ca n't go with you , not like this . sonny : come on . come on . you want to go . kate : no , i absolutely refuse to be seen with you in that coat . i do have a reputation to uphold , remember ? take it off . sonny : [ chuckles ] take what -- kate : take your coat off . sonny : [ laughs ] uh ... kate : do n't look .

( knock at the door ) alan : hello . olivia : hi . what do you want ? alan : well , we wanted to officially welcome emma to the family . and we bought her something . olivia : oh , yeah . you know , it 's actually polite to call first . but i guess you were afraid that if i knew you were coming i would slam the door in your faces . ( laughter ) kind of like this . alan : olivia , we have something important to say to you and i think you owe it to yourself and to emma to listen to what we have to say . marah : hey . jeffrey : good morning . marah : good morning . jeffrey : did you sleep well ? marah : great . until i realized you were gone . but now you 're back and everything is wonderful . jeffrey : hmm . so you 're not sick of me yet ? marah : mm - mm . jeffrey : that 's good . because i was thinking after breakfast today maybe we could , i do n't know , spend the day together . marah : do n't you have to work ? jeffrey : work ? what 's that mean ? that word is not in my vocabulary today . marah : ( laughs ) i like the sound of that . jeffrey : i thought we could like go out to the lake . it 's a beautiful day , take a drive , maybe have a little picnic out there . everything 's in bloom at the botanical gardens . we can out there if you 'd like . have dinner after that . marah : that all sounds really wonderful . but actually there 's something that i would rather do , somewhere i 'd rather go . jeffrey : sure . whatever . whatever you want . where ? marah : paris . lizzie : tammy , i did not plan on taking the baby . i did n't ! tammy : she tells yet another lie . lizzie : tammy , i am telling you the truth . okay , so i did not go over there planning on making nice with olivia . but i knew she was hiding something and i had to find out what it was . and when that it was my little sister , i ... i just picked her up and the next thing i knew we were out the door . tammy : but that 's even worse than planning it , lizzie . that means you 're like totally out of control . lizzie : i 'm not out of control . tammy : no one just takes a baby . so either you 've lost it completely , or you did it to get back at olivia . lizzie : why would i want to get back at olivia ? tammy : because you hate her for marrying your dad . olivia : actually , alan , i think i owe to my daughter to keep her as far away from you and your family as i possibly can . alan : but emma 's family is our family . now i know you do n't like that fact , but you ca n't ignore it . olivia : want to bet ? alan : you do n't plan on keeping her away from us her entire life , do you ? alexandra : come on . really , olivia , that 's reasonable . i mean when phillip gets out of the hospital , he 's going to want us to get to know emma and visa versa . he wants it now . alan : yes . you ca n't raise her in a vacuum . i mean she has other siblings she needs to know . that has the right know . plus emma deserves to be around a loving and nurturing family like we are . olivia : just for awhile . that 's it . alan : good . olivia : well , eama just woke up from her nap . i 'll go get her . alan : great , great , great , great . alexandra : well , what do you think ? did she rent this furniture or just pick it up off the street ? alan : alexandra , you agreed . alexandra : exactly . i know exactly what to say . alan : this is for phillip . we have n't been able to help him in the past few months . but this is something we can do for him . rick : phillip , i 'm sorry to take the baby . so what 's going on with you , phillip ?

if they sign me then i worked with a french designer . that is a major , major career move . which is why i 'm trying not to get too excited about it . jeffrey : no , no ... marah : because i 'm sure they look at dozens of portfolios . jeffrey : get excited , marah . this is fantastic ! marah : ( screams ) jeffrey : after all that you 've been through the last couple of months , you deserve something really good in your life . marah : oh , i have something really good in my life . i 've got you . jeffrey : besides me . marah : i do n't know . i 'm almost afraid to say it , but i feel like my prayers have finally been answered . like ... like this is a sign , you know , that life goes on . and i 'm not crazy to have hope again , you know . jeffrey : it 's not crazy , darling . marah : so ... so you think that i should take them up on their offer and i should go to paris ? jeffrey : let me think . yeah ! absolutely yes . i mean you 'd be a fool not to . marah : all right , well , then i may be a fool , because there 's only one way that i 'm going to paris and that 's if you come with me . lizzie : look , tammy , i do n't hate olivia , okay ?

( laughs ) oh , look at you , sweetheart . alan : look at that . look at that . alexandra : oh , she were mine i 'd be dying to take her out in public and show her off . olivia : it would have been nice . i just had to put her safety first . alexandra : well , of course , of course , of course . now that the secrets out , you know , you can take her out and introduce your little emma to all your friends . oh , she 's probably going to enjoy cassie 's children a whole lot , you know . it 's very important for their development , you know , to have their socialization . ( laughs ) alan : absolutely . alexander 's right about that . alexandra : oh , absolutely . alan : yes , yes . alexandra : maybe you will take her to the park .

phillip : i do n't know . rick : you 're not taking your medication are you ? why would you do that ? phillip : because i ca n't stand the way it makes me feel . i ca n't concentrate . i start a sentence and i 'm so tired , i ca n't finish it . all i want to do is sleep . rick : look i know this is frustrating for you right now . phillip : frustrating , rick . rick : but you have to give this some time . phillip : no , it 's a whole lot more than frustrating . rick : there are a lot of options that we could discuss , phillip , okay . but going cold turkey , off your medication is not one of them right now . phillip : but , rick ... but i feel five hundred percent better when i do n't take it . everything is crisp and clear . i have energy . i can focus . rick : you 're bouncing off the walls . phillip : no , i 'm not . i 'm really not . rick : phillip , you 're maniac right now . look at yourself . your breathing is shallow and rapid , your pupils are dilated . ca n't you see that ?

alexandra : oh , and nothing , really . we want make certain that we ... we will enjoy the privilege of visiting emma regularly . alan : it 's what phillip wants . olivia : is that right ? alan : yes . and it 's what i want . i mean i want to get to know emma the same way as i know james and zach . i mean it 's no difference . olivi w well , and lizzie . do n't forget lizzie , the one who kidnapped my baby . alan : well , elizabeth did something very bad . but now she did it for a right reason . olivia : oh , please . alexandra : come on , it 's true . she knew how much good it would do phillip to see emma . alan : i do n't think it benefits any of us to harp on this any further . i think that we 're all trying to move past it , all right . olivia : she knew that taking emma would be the worse thing she could do to me . how am i going to get passed this ? alexandra : all right , all right . the way i see it is just the more time we all spend together , the more time phillip spends with emma , the more time all of us spend together on a positive note . well , lizzie will start to think of emma as her sister . alan : yes . yes . alexandra : oh , come on . what can it hurt ? i mean we could give it a try . if it does n't work so be it . but i 'm telling you , i am sure that it will work . what 's the down side ? what can we lose ? olivia : what i 'll do is this . we 'll try and spend a little time together , all right ? just baby steps and see what happens , okay . alan : excellent . i 'll have thomas come over tomorrow and help you pack your things . olivia : pack my things ? what are you talking about ? alan : well , i mean we just agreed that you and emma would be moving back into the mansion with us . phillip : so how did she do it , rick ? what did olivia promise you ? what ... what did ... what did olivia do for you to get you to turn against me , huh ? rick : i have not turned against you . phillip : i do n't believe this . rick : stop . now stop it . stop it . stop it . think about this . take a deep breath and think about what you 're saying , because you are not making any sense . you 're acting totally paranoid right now . phillip : oh , yeah . rick : yes , paranoid . which is what happens when you stop taking your medication like that cold turkey . phillip : i 'm not paranoid . rick : no , you 're not . phillip : no . rick : all right . do you really believe that these doctors are keeping you here against your will ? do you ? and olivia . why would olivia not want you to feel better , phillip ? why ? phillip : that 's a very good question , rick . and when i figure out exactly what it is she 's after , you 'll be the first to know . rick : now wait . let 's just ... let 's just calm down and talk this out , okay . all right . okay ? all right , phillip , what is really going on here ? what got you upset that you start concocting all these wild stories ? what happened ? what is it ? phillip : i just want to get out of here . rick : okay . you do n't trust olivia ; i know you don't . but do you trust me ? do you trust me ? i have been your best friend for how many years now , pal ? has there ever been a single moment in your life when you needed me that i ever let you down ? ever ? i 'm sorry , i did n't hear you ? phillip : no , rick , you have never let me down . you never let me down . rick : i know . i know . we 're best frien , , phillip . i love you . i love you like a brother . and i want what 's best for you . do n't you see that ? okay . phillip : okay . rick : i know . but i 'm also a doctor . now listen to me . i 'm also a doctor . and i know what i 'm talking about when i tell you , you got to stay with this medication , okay ? phillip : yes . rick : yes . phillip : yes . rick : phillip , listen to me . now you 've got to stick thth this program , all right ? you have to . because you want to feel better , right ? you want to feel better . phillip : yes . rick : right ? is n't that the goal here ? phillip : ah - huh . rick : right ? do n't you want to feel better ? okay . all right . so we 're going to make each other a promise right now , okay ? phillip : ah - huh . rick : all right . you promise me that you 're going to keep taking these pills like you 're suppose to , all right . for two weeks . in two weeks if you 're not feeling better , then you do n't have to take anymore . and i will do everything i can to get you out . anything and everything . because i love you and you 're my best friend . okay , do we have ourselves a deal ? do we ? phillip : i just want to go home . rick : i know you do . phillip : i just want to go . rick : i know . so you 've got to agree with this . it 's only way that you 'll be able to go home , okay ? do you trust me ? phillip : i trust you . rick : okay . phillip : i have to trust you . rick : good . you have to trust me , okay ? edmund : thank you . so how 's it going ? joey : lizzie 's going to be fine . she just needed someone to listen to her . edmund : all right , tammy just needed to vent . joey : right . tammy : sorry i got so upset earlier . i just want lizzie to stop making excuses . i mean , my life is not perfect either , but i try to keep it under control . edmund : and i think you do a very , very good job , especially for just a wonderful young lady . lizzie : what did i do that was so terrible ? joey : you kidnapped a baby . lizzie : no . no , what i did was go see my little half sister , all right , and bring her to my dad so he could spend some time with her . joey : well , you should have told someone first . olivia was really upset . lizzie : joey , it was all just a big misunderstanding . everything was fine in the end , okay ? i just want us all to be a family again . olivia : move in with you ? are you kidding me ? have you lost your mind ? alan : olivia , you just agreed that you would try . olivia : i did n't agree to move in with you . i agreed that we could spend time together . how could you possibly construe that to mean that i 'd be willing to move my daughter into that hornet 's nest you call a home ? alexandra : because , olivia , it 's the right thing to do . alan : yes . and an ideal world for a child is to be surrounded by a family . olivia : this is not an ideal world . this is a world where your other precious granddaughter is a raging psychopath with zero impulse control . do n't you get it ? i 'm scared to death to set foot in that house , let alone move my daughter in there . alan : i think elizabethh would have trouble with her impulses no matter where she lives . olivia : are you trying to make me feel better ? alan : did you ever hear the adage `` keep your enemies close `` ? i mean , if you 're afraid of elizabeth 's attitude toward emma , do n't you think it makes sense to keep her in a place where you can watch her ? alexandra : oh , come on , please . i mean , between the three of us and beth and lillian and the servants , we can make certain that lizzie spends no private time , no time alone with emma . alan : yes , she 'll still be in the same house with her . she 'll see her every day . as a matter of fact , she will learn to adore her . how coulshshe not love emma ? olivia : because elizabeth is insane . alexandra : all right , the basic problem with elizabeth has been the fact ... well , she feels threatened by you . i mean , the more she 's around you , the less she 's going to feel threatened . olivia : you know , if emma and i move into the mansion , lizzie wo n't be the only one living under a microscope . the two of you will be as well . alexandra : us ? olivia : yeah . so if there 's more to this offer than you 're letting on , if there 's some ulterior motive , once i move into the house , i would figure it out , and i probably would n't be happy . and i can guarantee you phillip would n't either . alan : i can assure you there is no ulterior motive . this offer is coming straight from the heart . olivia : i 'd have conditions . alan : all right , name them . olivia : well , first of all , i want the big room overlooking the garden upstairs . alexandra : that 's my room . olivia : but it has a small room next to it that would be perfect for a nursery , a nursery that i would want outfitted with security cameras monitored 24 hours a day . and lizzie would not be allowed to be alone with emma in that room or any other room in the house , ever . alan : agreed . alexandra : well , my room though ... alan : agreed . anything else ? olivia : if i feel the least bit uneasy about any of this , i 'm taking emma and i 'm moving out . and if you try to stop me , or if you try to keep her there without me ... alan : i will have thomas come over tomorrow and help you collect your things . alexandra : well , we 'd better get out of here and let you start your packing . alan : yes , yes . alexandra : please kiss emma good - bye for me , will you ? alan : olivia , you have made the right choice . there 's no way you will regret it . olivia : no , i won't . marah : say it again . jeffrey : again . marah : again . jeffrey : okay . ( speaking in french ) marah : ( laughs ) jeffrey : we are going together to paris . marah : we 're going to walk along the banks of the seine . jeffrey : mm . marah : share a bottle of wine at an outdoor cafe . it sounds so perfect . jeffrey : it will be . you know , let me take care of the travel arrangements , okay ? marah : you 'd do that ? you do n't mind ? jeffrey : not only do i not mind , i insist . this is an important trip for you , okay ? i want it to go as smoothly as possible . you just concentrate on preparing for that meeting , all right ? and let me take care of the rest . marah : thank you . that would be awesome . jeffrey : okay . do n't thank me . marah : ( laughs ) jeffrey : do n't thank me . this will be a pleasure . rick : so what do you say ? you 'll start taking your medication again ? phillip : i really want to go home , rick . rick : i know you do , buddy . phillip : no , you do n't understand . before , when i first came here , i did n't care . i was so deep in this hole , in this dark , dark place , that i did n't care . i could n't see my way past it to ever think that i would want to live again , or that i 'd have anything to live for . but i do now . i do . daughter that i want to get to know and show her how much i love her . and lizzie and my boys , i 've got so much that i have to make up to them . i want to ... i want to be myself again . i want to have my life back again . rick : great , great . i 'm so glad to hear you say that . phillip : i do . rick : i know you do . and for the longest time , i just did n't think you had the will to do that , but you do . phillip : i know . but that 's what i 'm telling you . i really do . rick : right . phillip : but that 's why i 'm afraid to start taking those pills again . rick : no . phillip : because i know i 'm a little intense right now . listen , i know , i know . but i 'm afraid if i start taking the pills again i 'm going to go back into that dark , depressed place , and i 'm going to lose that fight . i 'm going to lose that will . and ... and ... i could stay in here forever , rick , and that 'll kill me . rick : no . you ... phillip : no , listen to me . listen to me , rick . i 'll die . i will die in here if i stay in here . rick : do you trust me ? i 'm your best friend . i will not let that happen to you , okay ? okay ? promise . phillip : i 'm going to do what you 're asking me to do . but you have to take care of me , okay ? rick : i will . phillip : do n't let me slip down into that place again . rick : all right . phillip : okay . rick : all right . phillip : i 'm ... i 'm trusting you . rick : all right . okay . look , i 'm just going to fill this out here , okay . there might be something else that we can try , okay . it 's an entirely kind of different therapy . phillip : what ? what is it ? rick : you would n't have to take these drugs again . it 's called electro convulsive therapy . it 's called ect . phillip : mm - hmm . rick : now , i 'm sure that langham is aware of it . phillip : right . rick : so there has to be some reason why he has n't brought it up to you . phillip : well , but if i did that , would i be able to get out of here ? rick : it has a very good success rate . but you have to be the right candidate , and only langham would know that . wait , wait , wait . let 's do this . let me call him , and you guys can set something up and see if you 're the right candidate for it . phillip : yeah , do it . do it . do it . rick : all right . okay . phillip : yes . rick : all right . now , what i 'll do is ... do n't get your hopes up . you might not be the right candidate for this . that 's what i 'm saying . phillip : no , no , no . listen . you do it , okay ? and i do n't care . rick : all right . phillip : you just talk to him . talk to him about it today , okay ? rick : all right . phillip : and do n't say anything to anybody else about this . let 's just keep this between you and me . rick : you do n't want me to talk to olivia about this ? phillip : oh , god , no . no . rick : okay . phillip : absolutely not her . rick : okay . phillip : just between us for right now , okay ? rick : you got it . you got it . phillip : okay . rick : what i 'll do is , i 'm going to call langham , and i 'll get back to you and tell you what he says , okay ? phillip : okay . and you 'll do it today . rick : yeah , i 'll do it today . all right ? leah was so happy to see you , buddy . phillip : i was happy to see her . i am happy for you . rick : yeah , thanks . all right . now , you take care of yourself . just get some rest . phillip : but you 're going to talk to him now , though , right ? rick : i 'm going to talk to him right now . phillip : okay . rick : okay ? all right . tammy : thanks for lisnining . you always know just what to say . edmund : tammy , you 're a very special young lady . there 's nothing i would n't do for you . you know that , right ? joey : you 're going to be okay . lizzie : and how do you know ? joey : did olivia decide to press charges against you ? lizzie : no . which means she does n't think i did anything wrong , right ? joey : not exactly . but at least it 's ... lizzie : i mean , i did n't really do anything wrong , because now everybody knows about emma . and my dad can spend time with her . maybe that 'll make him happier , and he wo n't be so depressed all the time . and maybe he can come home sooner to me and my mom , and all the people who love him . and we can protect him from olivia and keep her as far away from h a as possible . olivia : i know . i know . you think maybe mommy 's gone crazy , huh ? it 's just that i think alan is right . i think that keeping lizzie close by is better than constantly wondering whether she 's hanging around , what she 's doing . i do n't know . you know what ? once the spauldings get to know you , they 're just going to fall in love , and that 's going to make my job so much easier . you know what my job is ? my job is to love you and protect you , and help you get everything you need and deserve in life , now and in the future . so what do you say ? want to get packing ? yeah ? yeah ? marah : i should go . jeffrey : all right . well , you know , it might be kind of hard to get a flight at such late notice , and most of them leave in the evening . is that okay ? marah : sure . jeffrey : all right , well , we 'll sleep on the plane . when we wake up , we 'll be in paris , all right ? why do n't we have dinner tothther before ? marah : that sounds perfect . jeffrey : okay . marah : all right , i 'm going to go . jeffrey : okay . marah : bye . jeffrey : bye . marah : you and me together in paris . can you believe it ? okay . okay . i 'm going . i 'm going . jeffrey : now you be going . marah : i 'm going . jeffrey : okay . marah : bye . jeffrey : okay . ( laughs ) marah : bye . jeffrey : bye . marah : oh , my purse . ( laughs ) jeffrey : it 's jeffrey . marah just left me . yeah , she 's very excited . yes , she 's very happy that i 'm taking care of the travel arrangements . she did n't suspect a thing . [ next_on ] jeffrey : people i work for are pretty clear on this . if you refuse , danny ... danny : i 'm not refusing . shayne : what 's going on with you ? are you okay ? marah : everything is wonderful . i am going to paris with the man that i love . | jeffrey arranges for marah to get an interview for her designs in paris and leads her to believe he will be joining her there . alan and alex visit olivia 's home and convince her to move back into the spaulding mansion . rick takes leah to visit phillip for the first time and figures out that phillip has not been taking his meds . after much persuasion , phillip agrees to continue with the meds and rick promises to talk to christopher about getting him . lizzie and tammy get into a huge argument about lizzie taking emma . joey and edmund pull them apart , edmund and tammy bond a little . | <s>[INST] marah : `` gone to get breakfast . telegram for you on the dresser . shayne dropped it off . be back before you could miss me . `` i ca n't believe this . edmund : and one , two , three . lunge . no , joey . oh , sorry , tammy . look , if you 're going to stay on balance ... i 've got a couple of foils upstairs . if promise not to tell your mother i put you in mortal danger , we could use them . joey : that 'd be cool . edmund : great . tammy , my sweet , my princess . i want you to write down all of juliet 's thoughts for the second act in your journal , all right ? tammy : okay . edmund : thanks . come , lads , put up your swords ; you know not what you do . lizzie : hi . what , i do n't even ... i do n't rate a hello anymore ? you 're made at me . well , are you , tammy ? are you mad at me ? tammy : of course i 'm mad ! okay , but not just at you , lizzie . at myself , too . you know why ? because i was stupid enough to trust you again . you fed me that totally bogus story about wanting sam spencer 's address so you could make amends with olivia . and like an idiot i believed you . rick : hello . phillip : hey . come on in . rick : hello . phillip : oh . rick : i have somebody who 's been wanting to met you for a very long time . phillip : hi . rick : hey . look at her . phillip : oh , rick . look at her . rick : may i present to you the most gorgeous little princess in the entire world . this is my little girl , leah bauer . phillip : leah . rick : yeah . i like it . where did you get that ? rick : we named her after lesley and felecia . phillip : oh . oh , that 's great . hi , beautiful . rick : is n't she beautiful ? phillip : hi , sweetheart . can i put that back in for you ? rick : you sure can . phillip : i 'm your uncle phillip . r rick : oh , she just looks happy . phillip : put your little bow back in . yes . hi . she 's beautiful , rick . she 's so beaififul . she 's really beautiful . rick : is n't she ? phillip : oh , man . we have little girls . you have a little girl . i have a little girl . they 're going to grow up together . how great is this ? rick : yeah . phillip : you know what ? you 're going to get to go to ballet classes together , you 're going to have sleepovers . i 'm going to get them matching ponies so that they could ride together . rick : well , let 's get them to walk first , okay . phillip : yeah . well , i 'm just happy . rick : of course you are . of course you are . let 's not get ahead of ourselves . i mean , you know , once you get out of this place then ... phillip : now . now . i 'm ready to get out of here now . rick : did your doctor say that ? phillip : no , listen . that 's what ... you have to talk to these guys , because the doctors will listen to you . i want to get out of here now . i want to go home now . ( knock at the door ) alan : hello . olivia : hi . what do you want ? alan : well , we wanted to officially welcome emma to the family . and we bought her something . olivia : oh , yeah . you know , it 's actually polite to call first . but i guess you were afraid that if i knew you were coming i would slam the door in your faces . ( laughter ) kind of like this . alan : olivia , we have something important to say to you and i think you owe it to yourself and to emma to listen to what we have to say . marah : hey . jeffrey : good morning . marah : good morning . jeffrey : did you sleep well ? marah : great . until i realized you were gone . but now you 're back and everything is wonderful . jeffrey : hmm . so you 're not sick of me yet ? marah : mm - mm . jeffrey : that 's good . because i was thinking after breakfast today maybe we could , i do n't know , spend the day together . marah : do n't you have to work ? jeffrey : work ? what 's that mean ? that word is not in my vocabulary today . marah : ( laughs ) i like the sound of that . jeffrey : i thought we could like go out to the lake . it 's a beautiful day , take a drive , maybe have a little picnic out there . everything 's in bloom at the botanical gardens . we can out there if you 'd like . have dinner after that . marah : that all sounds really wonderful . but actually there 's something that i would rather do , somewhere i 'd rather go . jeffrey : sure . whatever . whatever you want . where ? marah : paris . lizzie : tammy , i did not plan on taking the baby . i did n't ! tammy : she tells yet another lie . lizzie : tammy , i am telling you the truth . okay , so i did not go over there planning on making nice with olivia . but i knew she was hiding something and i had to find out what it was . and when that it was my little sister , i ... i just picked her up and the next thing i knew we were out the door . tammy : but that 's even worse than planning it , lizzie . that means you 're like totally out of control . lizzie : i 'm not out of control . tammy : no one just takes a baby . so either you 've lost it completely , or you did it to get back at olivia . lizzie : why would i want to get back at olivia ? tammy : because you hate her for marrying your dad . olivia : actually , alan , i think i owe to my daughter to keep her as far away from you and your family as i possibly can . alan : but emma 's family is our family . now i know you do n't like that fact , but you ca n't ignore it . olivia : want to bet ? alan : you do n't plan on keeping her away from us her entire life , do you ? alexandra : come on . really , olivia , that 's reasonable . i mean when phillip gets out of the hospital , he 's going to want us to get to know emma and visa versa . he wants it now . alan : yes . you ca n't raise her in a vacuum . i mean she has other siblings she needs to know . that has the right know . plus emma deserves to be around a loving and nurturing family like we are . olivia : just for awhile . that 's it . alan : good . olivia : well , eama just woke up from her nap . i 'll go get her . alan : great , great , great , great . alexandra : well , what do you think ? did she rent this furniture or just pick it up off the street ? alan : alexandra , you agreed . alexandra : exactly . i know exactly what to say . alan : this is for phillip . we have n't been able to help him in the past few months . but this is something we can do for him . rick : phillip , i 'm sorry to take the baby . so what 's going on with you , phillip ? phillip : what do you mean ? rick : what 's going on with you ? where did all of this energy come from ? your medication was suppose to curb that . phillip , you are taking the medication , right ? phillip . phillip : where is it ? rick : where ... where is what ? phillip : an envelope full of pictures of emma that i wanted to show to you and i just ca n't remember where ... where i ... rick : calm down . phillip , calm down . phillip : damn it ! where is my briefcase ? rick : it 's right over ... phillip : where is it ? rick : i 'll get it , okay . phillip : oh , oh . no , no , no . that 's okay . i got it . rick : phillip , no . listen to me . phillip : no , no , no . no , i got it . rick : relax . relax , okay ? phillip : no . it 's my briefcase . i know where they are . rick : i 'm sure i can find it . just calm down and relax . phillip : i 'm perfectly fine . i just do n't know why you do n't want me to ... rick : see . here . here 's the pictures . phillip : okay . rick : see . phillip : okay , okay . good . rick : what 's wrong with you ? what is it ? phillip : nothing . jeffrey : paris . marah : yes . jeffrey : you just said paris . marah : mm - hmm . jeffrey : paris , france . you want to go to paris . marah : yeah . the day after tomorrow . jeffrey : okay , hang on . marah : ( laughs ) jeffrey : you do n't feel warm . are you sure you 're all right ? marah : the telegram that shayne brought over . it 's good news . my ... i sent my portfolio to my cousin mindy in paris a couple months ago , the fashion designer . jeffrey : right . and so the telegrams from her . marah : yes . and she sent my portfolio to one of the biggest fashion houses in paris . and guess what ? jeffrey : what ? marah : they loved me ! jeffrey : oh , my god . that 's great . marah : they love me . and they want to meet me . and can you believe it ? jeffrey : of course i believe it , marah . you 're an incredible talent . i mean you 're incredible period . marah : do you know what this means ? if they sign me then i worked with a french designer . that is a major , major career move . which is why i 'm trying not to get too excited about it . jeffrey : no , no ... marah : because i 'm sure they look at dozens of portfolios . jeffrey : get excited , marah . this is fantastic ! marah : ( screams ) jeffrey : after all that you 've been through the last couple of months , you deserve something really good in your life . marah : oh , i have something really good in my life . i 've got you . jeffrey : besides me . marah : i do n't know . i 'm almost afraid to say it , but i feel like my prayers have finally been answered . like ... like this is a sign , you know , that life goes on . and i 'm not crazy to have hope again , you know . jeffrey : it 's not crazy , darling . marah : so ... so you think that i should take them up on their offer and i should go to paris ? jeffrey : let me think . yeah ! absolutely yes . i mean you 'd be a fool not to . marah : all right , well , then i may be a fool , because there 's only one way that i 'm going to paris and that 's if you come with me . lizzie : look , tammy , i do n't hate olivia , okay ? i just wanted to bring emma to my dad so that he could get to know her a little bit and spend some time with her . that 's all i wanted . okay , you 're right . you know , i do things without thinking and that worries sometimes . but i just ca n't stop it , tammy . okay , i did use you . and i was wrong . and i 'm really sorry . tammy : till the next time . and do n't say there wo n't be a next time , because you basically just told me there will be . lizzie , i have cut you a lot of slack recently and you have n't been a friend in return . all you do is gripe about olivia then you turn ouound and act just like her . > lelexandra : oh . oh , olivia , i do n't know how you managed to do it . olivia : do what ? alexandra : well , i mean keeping this precious little angel a secret for al of those months . ( laughs ) oh , look at you , sweetheart . alan : look at that . look at that . alexandra : oh , she were mine i 'd be dying to take her out in public and show her off . olivia : it would have been nice . i just had to put her safety first . alexandra : well , of course , of course , of course . now that the secrets out , you know , you can take her out and introduce your little emma to all your friends . oh , she 's probably going to enjoy cassie 's children a whole lot , you know . it 's very important for their development , you know , to have their socialization . ( laughs ) alan : absolutely . alexander 's right about that . alexandra : oh , absolutely . alan : yes , yes . alexandra : maybe you will take her to the park . ( laughs ) oh , all those events and those classes . like every mother should spend all that kind of private time with their child . olivia : yeah , you know , it 's going to be really nice to take her places . alexandra : of course , it 's su a a long way out here , you know . i do n't know . maybe you 're thinking about moving back to the beacon . i mean it 's so much more comfortable there for you i 'm sure . but then again it 's just a hotel . oh , a baby needs a real , real home . but i 'm rere you 're going to work that all out just fine . oh , look at you . oh , are you precious or what ? look she 's got phillip 's nose , do n't you think ? alan : yes , she does . olivia : oh , yes . no , it 's definitely phillip 's nose . alexandra : look at that . alan : and i think she has elizabeth 's smile . ( baby crying ) olivia : you know what ? it 's time for her feeding . come on , sweetheart , that 's what she wants . alan : well , she does sound a little hungry . olivia : yes , she 's hungry . come here . it 's okay . oh , thank you very much for the gift . it 's okay . where 's that blanket ? alexandra : well , do n't you want to open it ? olivia : no , i 'm sure whatever it is , it 's lovely . baby , it 's okay . alan : we don't ... we do n't mind waiting till after emma 's fed . olivia : yeah , well , you do n't , but i do . emma say good bye to your grandpa alan and your auntie alex , okay . alexandra : oh , bye - bye , sweetheart . alan : right . right . we are emma 's family , olivia . and i think deep down inside of you , you know it would not be right to keep her away from us . olivia : all right . you came here for a reason . spit it out . rick : well ? phillip : i do n't know . rick : you 're not taking your medication are you ? why would you do that ? phillip : because i ca n't stand the way it makes me feel . i ca n't concentrate . i start a sentence and i 'm so tired , i ca n't finish it . all i want to do is sleep . rick : look i know this is frustrating for you right now . phillip : frustrating , rick . rick : but you have to give this some time . phillip : no , it 's a whole lot more than frustrating . rick : there are a lot of options that we could discuss , phillip , okay . but going cold turkey , off your medication is not one of them right now . phillip : but , rick ... but i feel five hundred percent better when i do n't take it . everything is crisp and clear . i have energy . i can focus . rick : you 're bouncing off the walls . phillip : no , i 'm not . i 'm really not . rick : phillip , you 're maniac right now . look at yourself . your breathing is shallow and rapid , your pupils are dilated . ca n't you see that ? phillip : but i feel fine , rick . my head ... in my head i feel fine , okay . look i just ... i just want to be with my daughter , all right . i just ... i want to get out of here and i want to be with my little girl . i have ... i 've have like ... i 've had two hours with her max since i first saw her . and that 's not right . right ? rick : no , it 's not right . phillip : and lizzie needs me . and my boys need me . and i got to get out of here , rick . i can't ... i ca n't stay locked up in here anymore . i feel like ... i 'm like a lion at the zoo . i 'm pacing back and forth and back and forth . and i ... rick : i understand that . i do . i do understand . phillip : okay . then help me . rick : i ... phillip : please ! help me get out of here . rick : phillip , if i thought the best thing for you to do would be go home right now , i would do it in a heartbeat . you know that . you 're not ready to go home yet , phillip . you 're not . you 've got to stick with the medication and stabilize first . and then , phillip , the next step is for you to go home . and to readjust your life outside of this place . but you 've got to get well first , buddy . do n't you see that ? phillip : and how long do you figure that 'll take , rick ? another couple of years ? rick : what ? what are you talking about ? phillip : miserable little ... she got to you , too , did n't she ? somehow she got to you , too . rick : what ? what do you mean who got to me ? what are you talking about ? phillip : olivia has been scheming to keep me in here . and somehow she got you to help her . she got to you . she got to you , too ! jeffrey : marah , i would love to go to paris . i really would . it 's just that , you know , i ... marah : what ? what , you have to work ? well , you were going to take today off and blow off work . what 's a couple more days ? come on , you 're suppose to be mr . spontaneity , live in the moment , get pleasure out of whatever you can . how come you 're like that with everyone but me ? jeffrey : that 's true , is n't it ? i have been very cautious with you . marah : right . because you did n't want to hurt me . and i completely understand that , but we 're past that now . we 've been through so much . and you need a break . i need a break . do n't you want a break ? jeffrey : yes , i do . marah : come on , i just do n't want to think about carrie anymore . i do n't want to think about what she did and what i did , and people gossiping about us . i just want to go far , far away with you and enjoy it where it 's simple and uncomplicated . jeffrey : do you know how tempting that sounds ? marah : then do it . come on . it 's only a few days . please . please say yes . please , please . jeffrey : i haven't ... look at you . i have n't seen you this happy in so long . marah : yes ? jeffrey : how can i refuse ? marah : ( screams ) did you just say that you 're going to go paris with me ? jeffrey : yes , yes . let 's do it . the sooner the better . wee . wee , mademoiselle . lizzie : talk about a low blow . that is by far the meanest thing you have ever said to me , tammy . that i 'm like olivia ? ! i am nothing like her , okay ? edmund : yes , you are . like shakespeare 's olivia . ' tis beauty truly bent , whose red and white natures own sweet and cunning hand laid on . lizzie : at least someone does n't think i 'm completely crazy . tammy : i did n't say that . it 's just that there 's nothing you could say that could possibly make what you did okay . lizzie : are you enjoying yourself , tammy ? are you ? i bet you just love feeling superior to me , do n't you ? tammy : oh , here we go . lizzie : oh , because your family just so perfect , is n't it ? tammy : it 's excuse time again . lizzie : no , no , no . really . your family 's great and mine 's stinks , does n't it ? edmund : girls ... tammy : no . i want to get you . edmund : hey , hey , hey ... lizzie : stop it . edmund : let go . tammy : she thinks that i do n't have any problems . i spent months in foster care when i was little . my dad was such a loser that my mom had to raise me all on her and the state nearly took me away from her . then she finally met a perfect guy , a prince literally . then he was killed in a car crash . edmund : i know , honey . tammy : sometimes i miss him so much . edmund : i know . lizzie : stop it ! look tammy looks down on me because her life is so great . joey : no one 's family is perfect , lizzie . everyone has their own troubles ! lizzie : joey her life is great . she 's got a cute boyfriend . she 's got a lead in the school play . and what do i have ? i 've got a messed up family and nobody wants to fix it except for me . olivia : why are you really here ? alan : olivia , we told you , we just wanted to welcome emma to the family . that 's all . olivia : hmm . and ? alexandra : oh , and nothing , really . we want make certain that we ... we will enjoy the privilege of visiting emma regularly . alan : it 's what phillip wants . olivia : is that right ? alan : yes . and it 's what i want . i mean i want to get to know emma the same way as i know james and zach . i mean it 's no difference . olivi w well , and lizzie . do n't forget lizzie , the one who kidnapped my baby . alan : well , elizabeth did something very bad . but now she did it for a right reason . olivia : oh , please . alexandra : come on , it 's true . she knew how much good it would do phillip to see emma . alan : i do n't think it benefits any of us to harp on this any further . i think that we 're all trying to move past it , all right . olivia : she knew that taking emma would be the worse thing she could do to me . how am i going to get passed this ? alexandra : all right , all right . the way i see it is just the more time we all spend together , the more time phillip spends with emma , the more time all of us spend together on a positive note . well , lizzie will start to think of emma as her sister . alan : yes . yes . alexandra : oh , come on . what can it hurt ? i mean we could give it a try . if it does n't work so be it . but i 'm telling you , i am sure that it will work . what 's the down side ? what can we lose ? olivia : what i 'll do is this . we 'll try and spend a little time together , all right ? just baby steps and see what happens , okay . alan : excellent . i 'll have thomas come over tomorrow and help you pack your things . olivia : pack my things ? what are you talking about ? alan : well , i mean we just agreed that you and emma would be moving back into the mansion with us . phillip : so how did she do it , rick ? what did olivia promise you ? what ... what did ... what did olivia do for you to get you to turn against me , huh ? rick : i have not turned against you . phillip : i do n't believe this . rick : stop . now stop it . stop it . stop it . think about this . take a deep breath and think about what you 're saying , because you are not making any sense . you 're acting totally paranoid right now . phillip : oh , yeah . rick : yes , paranoid . which is what happens when you stop taking your medication like that cold turkey . phillip : i 'm not paranoid . rick : no , you 're not . phillip : no . rick : all right . do you really believe that these doctors are keeping you here against your will ? do you ? and olivia . why would olivia not want you to feel better , phillip ? why ? phillip : that 's a very good question , rick . and when i figure out exactly what it is she 's after , you 'll be the first to know . rick : now wait . let 's just ... let 's just calm down and talk this out , okay . all right . okay ? all right , phillip , what is really going on here ? what got you upset that you start concocting all these wild stories ? what happened ? what is it ? phillip : i just want to get out of here . rick : okay . you do n't trust olivia ; i know you don't . but do you trust me ? do you trust me ? i have been your best friend for how many years now , pal ? has there ever been a single moment in your life when you needed me that i ever let you down ? ever ? i 'm sorry , i did n't hear you ? phillip : no , rick , you have never let me down . you never let me down . rick : i know . i know . we 're best frien , , phillip . i love you . i love you like a brother . and i want what 's best for you . do n't you see that ? okay . phillip : okay . rick : i know . but i 'm also a doctor . now listen to me . i 'm also a doctor . and i know what i 'm talking about when i tell you , you got to stay with this medication , okay ? phillip : yes . rick : yes . phillip : yes . rick : phillip , listen to me . now you 've got to stick thth this program , all right ? you have to . because you want to feel better , right ? you want to feel better . phillip : yes . rick : right ? is n't that the goal here ? phillip : ah - huh . rick : right ? do n't you want to feel better ? okay . all right . so we 're going to make each other a promise right now , okay ? phillip : ah - huh . rick : all right . you promise me that you 're going to keep taking these pills like you 're suppose to , all right . for two weeks . in two weeks if you 're not feeling better , then you do n't have to take anymore . and i will do everything i can to get you out . anything and everything . because i love you and you 're my best friend . okay , do we have ourselves a deal ? do we ? phillip : i just want to go home . rick : i know you do . phillip : i just want to go . rick : i know . so you 've got to agree with this . it 's only way that you 'll be able to go home , okay ? do you trust me ? phillip : i trust you . rick : okay . phillip : i have to trust you . rick : good . you have to trust me , okay ? edmund : thank you . so how 's it going ? joey : lizzie 's going to be fine . she just needed someone to listen to her . edmund : all right , tammy just needed to vent . joey : right . tammy : sorry i got so upset earlier . i just want lizzie to stop making excuses . i mean , my life is not perfect either , but i try to keep it under control . edmund : and i think you do a very , very good job , especially for just a wonderful young lady . lizzie : what did i do that was so terrible ? joey : you kidnapped a baby . lizzie : no . no , what i did was go see my little half sister , all right , and bring her to my dad so he could spend some time with her . joey : well , you should have told someone first . olivia was really upset . lizzie : joey , it was all just a big misunderstanding . everything was fine in the end , okay ? i just want us all to be a family again . olivia : move in with you ? are you kidding me ? have you lost your mind ? alan : olivia , you just agreed that you would try . olivia : i did n't agree to move in with you . i agreed that we could spend time together . how could you possibly construe that to mean that i 'd be willing to move my daughter into that hornet 's nest you call a home ? alexandra : because , olivia , it 's the right thing to do . alan : yes . and an ideal world for a child is to be surrounded by a family . olivia : this is not an ideal world . this is a world where your other precious granddaughter is a raging psychopath with zero impulse control . do n't you get it ? i 'm scared to death to set foot in that house , let alone move my daughter in there . alan : i think elizabethh would have trouble with her impulses no matter where she lives . olivia : are you trying to make me feel better ? alan : did you ever hear the adage `` keep your enemies close `` ? i mean , if you 're afraid of elizabeth 's attitude toward emma , do n't you think it makes sense to keep her in a place where you can watch her ? alexandra : oh , come on , please . i mean , between the three of us and beth and lillian and the servants , we can make certain that lizzie spends no private time , no time alone with emma . alan : yes , she 'll still be in the same house with her . she 'll see her every day . as a matter of fact , she will learn to adore her . how coulshshe not love emma ? olivia : because elizabeth is insane . alexandra : all right , the basic problem with elizabeth has been the fact ... well , she feels threatened by you . i mean , the more she 's around you , the less she 's going to feel threatened . olivia : you know , if emma and i move into the mansion , lizzie wo n't be the only one living under a microscope . the two of you will be as well . alexandra : us ? olivia : yeah . so if there 's more to this offer than you 're letting on , if there 's some ulterior motive , once i move into the house , i would figure it out , and i probably would n't be happy . and i can guarantee you phillip would n't either . alan : i can assure you there is no ulterior motive . this offer is coming straight from the heart . olivia : i 'd have conditions . alan : all right , name them . olivia : well , first of all , i want the big room overlooking the garden upstairs . alexandra : that 's my room . olivia : but it has a small room next to it that would be perfect for a nursery , a nursery that i would want outfitted with security cameras monitored 24 hours a day . and lizzie would not be allowed to be alone with emma in that room or any other room in the house , ever . alan : agreed . alexandra : well , my room though ... alan : agreed . anything else ? olivia : if i feel the least bit uneasy about any of this , i 'm taking emma and i 'm moving out . and if you try to stop me , or if you try to keep her there without me ... alan : i will have thomas come over tomorrow and help you collect your things . alexandra : well , we 'd better get out of here and let you start your packing . alan : yes , yes . alexandra : please kiss emma good - bye for me , will you ? alan : olivia , you have made the right choice . there 's no way you will regret it . olivia : no , i won't . marah : say it again . jeffrey : again . marah : again . jeffrey : okay . ( speaking in french ) marah : ( laughs ) jeffrey : we are going together to paris . marah : we 're going to walk along the banks of the seine . jeffrey : mm . marah : share a bottle of wine at an outdoor cafe . it sounds so perfect . jeffrey : it will be . you know , let me take care of the travel arrangements , okay ? marah : you 'd do that ? you do n't mind ? jeffrey : not only do i not mind , i insist . this is an important trip for you , okay ? i want it to go as smoothly as possible . you just concentrate on preparing for that meeting , all right ? and let me take care of the rest . marah : thank you . that would be awesome . jeffrey : okay . do n't thank me . marah : ( laughs ) jeffrey : do n't thank me . this will be a pleasure . rick : so what do you say ? you 'll start taking your medication again ? phillip : i really want to go home , rick . rick : i know you do , buddy . phillip : no , you do n't understand . before , when i first came here , i did n't care . i was so deep in this hole , in this dark , dark place , that i did n't care . i could n't see my way past it to ever think that i would want to live again , or that i 'd have anything to live for . but i do now . i do . daughter that i want to get to know and show her how much i love her . and lizzie and my boys , i 've got so much that i have to make up to them . i want to ... i want to be myself again . i want to have my life back again . rick : great , great . i 'm so glad to hear you say that . phillip : i do . rick : i know you do . and for the longest time , i just did n't think you had the will to do that , but you do . phillip : i know . but that 's what i 'm telling you . i really do . rick : right . phillip : but that 's why i 'm afraid to start taking those pills again . rick : no . phillip : because i know i 'm a little intense right now . listen , i know , i know . but i 'm afraid if i start taking the pills again i 'm going to go back into that dark , depressed place , and i 'm going to lose that fight . i 'm going to lose that will . and ... and ... i could stay in here forever , rick , and that 'll kill me . rick : no . you ... phillip : no , listen to me . listen to me , rick . i 'll die . i will die in here if i stay in here . rick : do you trust me ? i 'm your best friend . i will not let that happen to you , okay ? okay ? promise . phillip : i 'm going to do what you 're asking me to do . but you have to take care of me , okay ? rick : i will . phillip : do n't let me slip down into that place again . rick : all right . phillip : okay . rick : all right . phillip : i 'm ... i 'm trusting you . rick : all right . okay . look , i 'm just going to fill this out here , okay . there might be something else that we can try , okay . it 's an entirely kind of different therapy . phillip : what ? what is it ? rick : you would n't have to take these drugs again . it 's called electro convulsive therapy . it 's called ect . phillip : mm - hmm . rick : now , i 'm sure that langham is aware of it . phillip : right . rick : so there has to be some reason why he has n't brought it up to you . phillip : well , but if i did that , would i be able to get out of here ? rick : it has a very good success rate . but you have to be the right candidate , and only langham would know that . wait , wait , wait . let 's do this . let me call him , and you guys can set something up and see if you 're the right candidate for it . phillip : yeah , do it . do it . do it . rick : all right . okay . phillip : yes . rick : all right . now , what i 'll do is ... do n't get your hopes up . you might not be the right candidate for this . that 's what i 'm saying . phillip : no , no , no . listen . you do it , okay ? and i do n't care . rick : all right . phillip : you just talk to him . talk to him about it today , okay ? rick : all right . phillip : and do n't say anything to anybody else about this . let 's just keep this between you and me . rick : you do n't want me to talk to olivia about this ?

rick : i 'm going to talk to him right now . phillip : okay . rick : okay ? all right . tammy : thanks for lisnining . you always know just what to say . edmund : tammy , you 're a very special young lady . there 's nothing i would n't do for you . you know that , right ? joey : you 're going to be okay . lizzie : and how do you know ? joey : did olivia decide to press charges against you ? lizzie : no . which means she does n't think i did anything wrong , right ? joey : not exactly . but at least it 's ... lizzie : i mean , i did n't really do anything wrong , because now everybody knows about emma . and my dad can spend time with her . maybe that 'll make him happier , and he wo n't be so depressed all the time . and maybe he can come home sooner to me and my mom , and all the people who love him . and we can protect him from olivia and keep her as far away from h a as possible . olivia : i know . i know . you think maybe mommy 's gone crazy , huh ? it 's just that i think alan is right . i think that keeping lizzie close by is better than constantly wondering whether she 's hanging around , what she 's doing . i do n't know . you know what ? once the spauldings get to know you , they 're just going to fall in love , and that 's going to make my job so much easier . you know what my job is ? my job is to love you and protect you , and help you get everything you need and deserve in life , now and in the future . so what do you say ? want to get packing ? yeah ? yeah ? marah : i should go . jeffrey : all right . well , you know , it might be kind of hard to get a flight at such late notice , and most of them leave in the evening . is that okay ? marah : sure . jeffrey : all right , well , we 'll sleep on the plane . when we wake up , we 'll be in paris , all right ? why do n't we have dinner tothther before ? marah : that sounds perfect . jeffrey : okay . marah : all right , i 'm going to go . jeffrey : okay . marah : bye . jeffrey : bye . marah : you and me together in paris . can you believe it ?

[ scene_break ] jerry : so , jill , we 're talking about a pretty sizeable investment here , are n't we ? jill : oh , yes . but i 'm telling you , it is worth every penny . i ca n't tell you how satisfying it is to have all of our faith in ashley 's creativity so richly rewarded . because , believe me , glo again is truly revolutionary . jerry : oh , absolutely . but i have to ask you about your founder john abbott . how has that incident -- ? jill : do you know what , jerry ? i wo n't be commenting on that subject , but thank you so much . jerry : okay , all right , jill . jill : thank you . jerry : thank you . of course , that was jill abbott , the c.e.o . of jabot . and next up , we have the woman of the hour herself , ms. ashley abbott . come on in , ashley . how are ya ? ashley : i 'm well . how are you ? jerry : oh , so good , so good . now , ms . abbott has been the president and the head of r & d here at jabot for how many years now , ashley ? ashley : not long enough , jerry . i love what i do . jerry : and , you know , it shows in every bit of your work . ashley : oh , thank you . i definitely throw my heart and my soul into every new product . but when i have a breakthrough in the lab , which i did with our latest product , very little can tear me away . jerry : i got ta ask you , though , how do you stay so focused considering everything that you and your family have been through recently ? ashley : well , giving the customer our very best has always been priority one for all of us at jabot . i just hope that everyone who tries our latest formulation is as excited about it as i am . jerry : but , ashley , i would imagine that a success like this would go a long way toward starting to heal those wounds that your family has suffered . ashley : well , success through innovation has always guided our company ever since my father founded it . but i have to tell you , the sunscreen component in our new product at jabot is unlike anything else on the market . and here 's why -- when you hear the two words ... [ scene_break ] brad : it 's not the easiest thing to accept , victoria -- that you were with someone else , regardless of who it was . but i trust you when you say it will never happen again . victoria : it would n't , brad . brad : i believe you . victoria : you know , the way you reacted when you found out that it was j.t . was -- brad : all right , listen , the guy 's supposedly a friend , not just to me , but to colleen . not to mention what this did to mackenzie . you know , you 're in a relationship with someone , you think you can trust them . and you find out in it alone . that the person you 're with thinks he can go out and do whatever the hell he wants . that 's not the kind of person i want associating with the people i care about . victoria : that makes perfect sense . the thing is , is that j.t . is not a horrible person . i know that he and mac were having big problems . i do n't know all the details . but i know that he felt very betrayed by her for some reason . brad : i doubt that mackenzie cheated on him . victoria : well , i 'm not sure that that was the issue . but there are a hundred ways you can betray someone without laying a finger on anyone else . people who love each other -- they hurt each other . so the question is , do you walk away ? or is what you have worth fighting for ?

[ scene_break ] sharon : it sounded like you two were fighting . nick : no . no , i just came down here 'cause , uh , there was a web site problem . phyllis : yeah , and i was fired from that job . and frankly , i 'm just getting irritated having to fix all the problems , you know ? it 's somebody else 's headache , not mine . sharon : i 'm sure that it was more than that . i talked to dru . and i know that everybody 's on edge about daniel and lily . and i hope everything turns out okay . phyllis : yeah , thank you , so do i . nick : i thought you were going home . sharon : yeah , i was . and then you know what ? it had just occurred to me that i did n't know if phyllis saw the pictures . phyllis : what pictures ? sharon : the wedding -- lauren and michael 's wedding . these are the pictures from the cameras on the tables . there 's some cute ones of you in here . this one of you and nick -- looks like you two are having a blast . phyllis : yeah , yeah , i remember when that was taken . because , um , he was actually telling me how -- how much he missed you . and he was sorry that you were n't there . sharon : oh , me , too . phyllis : yeah . sharon : well , you know , you can have it , if you want . phyllis : no , please , you take it . you take it . lauren gave me a bunch . i do n't know where they are . they 're somewhere . sharon : oh , okay . you know what ? i think i 'm gon na head home and cook up a good dinner . sharon : oh , my god . you have one of these little monkey things , too ? nick has one at home just like it . [ scene_break ] victor : for your information , i do n't need any help to bring down jack abbott . he will self - destruct before our very eyes . michael : there 's an old saying , victor -- `` hatred breeds blindness . `` victor : and what , pray tell , am i blind to ? michael : look , on a personal level , i am with you . i am hardly jack 's biggest fan . but i respect his cleverness . he knows his stuff . i predict a long and happy career . if you wan na go to war with jack , be my guest . but do n't use gloria for cannon fodder . victor : now you listen to me very carefully , do n't ever underestimate your mother . everyone does that . so does jack abbott to his own peril . michael : you never did answer me . why go out of your way for her ? what 's in it for victor newman ? victor : you rest assured , michael baldwin , that i have nothing but your mother 's best interests at heart . end of discussion . [ scene_break ] jack : which makes jabot cosmetics the jewel in the chancellor crown . jerry : now i got ta ask you one last question , jack . prior to being acquired by chancellor industries , jabot was a privately - run family business , correct ? jack : yes , that 's right . jerry : now , having followed in your father 's footsteps -- jack : jerry , if i can interrupt , let 's stay on topic . unless we 're finished talking about the moisturizer , which i suspect we are . jerry : okay , kai , kill it . stop tape , please . jack , jack , listen . the public is extraordinarily curious about your father , okay ? now i 'm not trying to put you on the spot here , but can you work with me just a little bit ? jack : not about that . jerry : what if i have you approve the questions , how i 'll bring it up in conversation -- jack : jerry , no . no is my answer . gloria : jack , jack , jack , why not ? i think it 's reasonable . jack : gloria ... gloria : no , no , i have something that i would like to say to the people out there . jerry , i 'm mrs. john abbott . jerry : nice to meet you . gloria : would you put me on tape , please ? jerry : mrs. abbott , please , follow me , have a seat . gloria : thank you . jerry : roll the tape . gloria : hello , everyone . i 'm gloria abbott . and i wan na tell you what no one else will . everyone 's being very careful not to talk about john abbott , so i 'm going to talk about him . john abbott is my husband and the founder of this company . before john , there was no jabot . it was just an idea , a dream . a dream that was threatened dozens of times . but he never quit . he worked hard through the good times and the bad till his dream was realized -- a superior product at a fair price . and now the name of jabot is known throughout the world . yes , my husband 's in prison . the love has for this company is the same love that drove him to protect his family from someone who was trying to harm them . not only is he a kind and generous man , he 's an honorable man , willing to pay society 's price for what he did . he 's not embarrassed . and neither am i . no one should be . everyone who 's spoken here today -- jill and ashley and jack -- represent the best of what john and jabot stand for . they run this company with integrity and passion and love . because for them , it is n't just a business . it is family . it 's who they are . so when someone buys the new jabot product or any jabot products , they 're not just taking home a lipstick , or a moisturizer . or perfume . they 're taking home a little bit of john abbott 's integrity as well . thank you . jerry : thank you , gloria . [ scene_break ] brad : listen , you know what ? let 's not talk this into the ground , okay ? the point is , you were honest with me when it mattered . victoria : and we both have to think that way all the time . or we do n't stand a chance . brad : so this is officially behind us now , right ? victoria : it 's totally forgotten .

[ scene_break ] jack : which makes jabot cosmetics the jewel in the chancellor crown . jerry : now i got ta ask you one last question , jack . prior to being acquired by chancellor industries , jabot was a privately - run family business , correct ? jack : yes , that 's right . jerry : now , having followed in your father 's footsteps -- jack : jerry , if i can interrupt , let 's stay on topic . unless we 're finished talking about the moisturizer , which i suspect we are . jerry : okay , kai , kill it . stop tape , please . jack , jack , listen . the public is extraordinarily curious about your father , okay ? now i 'm not trying to put you on the spot here , but can you work with me just a little bit ? jack : not about that . jerry : what if i have you approve the questions , how i 'll bring it up in conversation -- jack : jerry , no . no is my answer . gloria : jack , jack , jack , why not ? i think it 's reasonable . jack : gloria ... gloria : no , no , i have something that i would like to say to the people out there . jerry , i 'm mrs. john abbott . jerry : nice to meet you . gloria : would you put me on tape , please ? jerry : mrs. abbott , please , follow me , have a seat . gloria : thank you . jerry : roll the tape . gloria : hello , everyone . i 'm gloria abbott . and i wan na tell you what no one else will . everyone 's being very careful not to talk about john abbott , so i 'm going to talk about him . john abbott is my husband and the founder of this company . before john , there was no jabot . it was just an idea , a dream . a dream that was threatened dozens of times . but he never quit . he worked hard through the good times and the bad till his dream was realized -- a superior product at a fair price . and now the name of jabot is known throughout the world . yes , my husband 's in prison . the love has for this company is the same love that drove him to protect his family from someone who was trying to harm them . not only is he a kind and generous man , he 's an honorable man , willing to pay society 's price for what he did . he 's not embarrassed . and neither am i . no one should be . everyone who 's spoken here today -- jill and ashley and jack -- represent the best of what john and jabot stand for . they run this company with integrity and passion and love . because for them , it is n't just a business . it is family . it 's who they are . so when someone buys the new jabot product or any jabot products , they 're not just taking home a lipstick , or a moisturizer . or perfume . they 're taking home a little bit of john abbott 's integrity as well . thank you . jerry : thank you , gloria .

[ sighs ] but being with you -- chelsea : i know . so , now what ? how do we keep doing this thing that we like while we both have other people in our hearts ? kelly : you feel guilty about being with me ? jack : kelly , i -- kelly : no , no , no , no , no . it 's okay . i asked you a question . you answered honestly . i do n't know what i expected you to say . you know what ? no , that 's not true . i think i knew what you were gon na say , but i just kind of hoped that you -- i hoped that i was wrong . god . i mean , we make love and then i come down and i find you holding the perfume that you named for the woman that you were gon na marry . you f -- you feel guilty because , deep down ... you think that this is wrong . i 'm not the one that you 're supposed to be with . colin : i 'm sorry for my tardiness . jill : oh , i 'm sure you 're very upset at missing a business meeting where you might have to participate and pay attention . colin : uh - huh . questioning my devotion , hmm ? jill : not to profit but maybe to hard work . darling , when they coined the word `` dilettante , `` they were thinking of you . colin : oh , you make that sound so sexy . jill : [ chuckles ] kevin : quit busting my chops , harding . let me bet back to work . harding : there are no chops being busted , fish . this is for real . michael : what the hell is going on ? harding : oh , nothing out of the ordinary . i 'm just arresting your brother . michael : on what charges ? harding : theft , fraud , cyber crime , breaking into private hospital records . kevin : oh , i also dropped a power bar wrapper earlier , so add littering to that . that 's l - i - t - t -- michael : shut up , kevin . now , you might want to show me some evidence before you start talking about cuffing my brother . harding : sticky fingers here stole the chief of surgery 's medical badge and broke into private hospital records with them -- you know , like a felony . f - e - l -- you know the rest . kevin : [ sighs ] stitch : please , victoria . victoria : say it . you want me to trust you . stitch : yeah , yeah , because you can , because you know me . victoria : did i know that you killed somebody ? you took a life . no , you killed your father -- your own father . i do n't know you . what else is there to say ? what am i supposed to do ? stitch : trust me . victoria : are you insane ? stitch : no , victoria . just -- just ... trust what you feel for me . trust -- trust what i feel for you . trust that you can -- that you can have faith in me , that you can feel safe with me . victoria : how am i supposed to do that now ? stitch : what happened with my father -- he was n't a good man . he was a mean drunk , and he made a lot of people miserable . victoria : `` what happened with my father `` ? that 's the way that sociopaths speak , as if it was something that just happened . u killed him , and it does n't matter if he was a terrible person . that does n't excuse murder . stitch : it was n't an option . victoria : there was an option -- not to take a life , not to lie to somebody and tell them that you love them . stitch : no . it 's real . i love you , victoria . victoria : no ! no , you do n't ! you ca n't have it both ways ! you ca n't -- you ca n't say that you love me and say that there 's more to it and then not tell me . it just means you did n't trust me , and you still do n't trust me , because if you did , i would know everything by now . i would n't have to be asking you all these questions . [ cell phone rings ] stitch : it 's dr. shelby . victoria : just -- i 'm sure you have a life to save . stitch : chief , is everything okay ? barton : i need to see you . stitch : yeah , i 'm kind of in the middle of something right now . barton : athletic club -- now . stitch : boss wants to talk . victoria : [ sighs ] just go . [ sighs ] harding : i.d . in your desk . you deny swiping it ? michael : ah , ah . do n't answer that . this is illegal search and seizure . harding : it 's not illegal search if i had a legit reason to look in his desk . kevin : for what ? ! you could n't find your own ass for the map . harding : well , since you 've been worse than useless lately , i was looking for a file in your desk , and i happened upon the badge , already reported stolen . you do remember that , do n't you , kev -- where i asked you to look into it and you could n't be bothered to lift a finger ? oh , that 's right -- add obstruction to the list for messing with the investigation . michael : why are you so invested in this , harding ? kevin : because it 's what he does . he pounds on his chest and blows smoke . harding : no , i catch criminals , and who would have thought i had one sitting 10 feet away from me the whole time ? kevin : cute . harding : yeah , i 'm adorable , like you 're gon na be in that orange jumpsuit . this case is a loser , baldwin . just dump it on the public defender , walk away . it 's bad for your record . michael : thank you for the career advice , but i need a moment with my client -- alone . billy : we 're both kind of screwed when it comes to who we love . but the thing is ... adam 's not coming back . and victoria -- she 's -- chelsea : she 's alive , which means , no matter what , you got a shot . billy : at least i hope so . chelsea : you do . and you have to go for it , no matter how much fun this is . billy : this is more than fun , chelsea . chelsea : you 're right . it is . but it has to end , billy . at this point , we 're just -- we 're just messing with our own heads . billy : look , i never meant to lead you on . chelsea : no , no . i 'm not blaming you , but it does have to stop . no more fixing your back , and to be clear , when i say that , i 'm talking about sex . billy : yeah , i got that the first time . all right . so , we 're agreed ? so , no more back - fixing or handshaking . chelsea : no more games . no more -- no more anything . oh . this belongs to you now . it 's everything kevin was able to pull up on stitch . whatever you do with it , it 's up to you . billy : [ sighs ] jack : this is love . this is good and strong . we just proved that upstairs . kelly : well , upstairs was great -- it always is -- but chemistry is one thing . emotions are another . and if you still feel so emotionally connected to phyllis that being with me makes you feel like you 're cheating on her , i need to know that . jack : you said you need to find a way to move on . it made me wonder just how ready i am to move on . i 'm still attached to phyllis ... kelly : okay . jack : ... whether through summer or history or the way i will always feel about her . kelly : that 's understandable . i mean , you were supposed to be married to her , right , by now ? and i suppose i expected to still be married with a son . maybe i 'd have a - another beautiful little boy or a girl by this point . but when that went away ... i did n't expect to be happy again like this , have a second chance at magical love . jack : that 's the right word . it has been magical , from our very first date , watching you close your eyes and just drink in the music in the park . you woke me up . you brought me out of the dark . you helped me be the father that summer needs . but it can be so much more . we could have so much more . kelly : but ... we 're not there yet , are we ? jack : no , we 're not . dr. burnett : your fiancé feels music might be the way to bring you back . feel free to prove him right . colin : if you want me with my nose to the grindstone , fine , but it 's gon na play hell with my looks . jill : hey , angel , nobody wants you anywhere near the boardroom or the boutique . colin : so , it 's my money you 're after , eh ? jill : mm - hmm . yeah , your money that 's in our bank account , which neither one of us earned . colin : well , you know , if you had n't got all upset and hurled something at me , that necklace may have stayed hidden forever . jill : hurled ? colin : yeah , hurled . jill : you know what i love ? i love that my desire to injure you is what made all of our dreams come true . colin : ah , yes . jill : we have the diamond necklace . we have the insurance money . now you are a member of the family business . and we all have our place in this . colin : yeah , and my place is with you , in first class . part of the reason i 'm late -- i picked up these two tickets to the west indies . jill : a trip ? colin : yeah , call it a honeymoon . jill : aw , really ? colin : yeah , really . now , listen -- let 's get out of here and pack , hmm ? jill : we do n't have to pack . we can just buy all our clothes there , okay ? come to that , let 's fly private . colin : i like that . jill : i was kidding , honey . i was kidding , all right ? colin : well , listen -- maybe you were . i picked out a dress for you from our boutique . jill : our boutique ? the boutique that you invested in has n't even been built yet ? colin : well , you have a boutique in town , and so i figured , you know , what 's yours is mine and mine is yours . jill : oh , there -- there it is . now i get it . i 'm paying for these . colin : yeah . ohh . jill : [ laughs ] that 's what i thought . colin : yes . jill : that 's my boy . michael : [ chuckles ] what is this -- a cry for help ? i thought you were holding it together . kevin : who says i 'm not ? michael : you stole a doctor 's i.d . you broke into files . you lied to an officer of the law . what part of that is rational . kevin : i ca n't go to jail , michael . michael : i know you ca n't , but you sure have an odd way of going about it . what were you doing ? kevin : i was doing someone a favor . michael : a favor ? you know what ? you help someone move as a favor . you take someone to the airport as a favor . you do n't commit a crime . kevin : that 's good advice -- for next time . michael : is that a confession ? kevin : who 's asking -- my brother or my lawyer ? michael : you want attorney - client privilege , fine . tell me more about your friend , you tell me more about your mission , and you tell me how someone with a rap sheet like yours gets in trouble with the law again . billy : oh , and look here -- `` have you ever been convicted of a felony ? `` he answers , `` no `` ? this is n't some oversight or a bad call . that 's a crime . i mean , he can go back to jail for that . chelsea : if the authorities are given this information or if they piece it together on their own . billy : well , at the very least , rayburn loses his medical license . chelsea : if this guy had half a brain , he would leave town and never look back . nick : how 's the tea ? sweet enough ? faith : so , you and mommy are scared ? nick : i 'm not scared of anything -- especially tea . you know , in the old days , i could fake you out by just changing the subject , but you 're getting too grown up now . like right now -- you 're not faked out at all , are you ? all right , kid . here 's the deal . your mom and i are very happy with the way things are , without the wedding . how 'bout you ? faith : i want to be mommy 's flower girl -- or maid of honor . [ knock on door , door opens ] victoria : hi ! nick : hey . victoria : hey . i 'm so sorry i did n't call first . nick : it 's all right . victoria : [ smooches ] faith : i want to be maid of honor . victoria : wow ! you are gon na make a beautiful maid of honor . is there something i should know ? nick : no , just hypothetical . victoria : oh , of course . but you look so beautiful in that dress . sometimes make - believe is better than the real thing . nick : are you okay ? faith : the baby 's in there , is n't it ? victoria : yeah , he is -- or she . faith : if it 's a girl , she can be my flower girl someday . nick : what if it 's a boy ? another newman man . faith : boys are ring bearers . uncle billy can teach him how to tie a tie 'cause that 's what dads do . nick : all right , kiddo . let 's lose the fancy dress . we are going swimming soon , right ? faith : right . nick : right . victoria : [ sighs ] nick : what 's going on ? did you get the paternity results for the baby ? victoria : nope . nick : `` nope `` 'cause they were n't ready ? victoria : [ sighs ] i did n't take the test . i know . i know . i said i would . nick : that baby 's gon na have a father , whether you want to know who it is or not . victoria : i was never supposed to be able to have this baby . he or she is my miracle . so , why ca n't we just be enough ? nick : look , i 'm not judging you , and i 'm not telling you what to do . victoria : knowing who the father is ties me to somebody that i do n't trust either way , and i do n't want that for this baby . i do n't want it for me . nick : you deserve this baby , and you deserve some peace and calm , so forget those guys and forget this test . just focus on this miracle that 's coming . be grateful . stitch : sir . barton : doctor . stitch : i imagine you 've heard a few things about me recently . barton : yes , an earful , which is why i can officially say congratulations , dr. rayburn . colin : i think it 's time to try on the dress . come on . i 'll work the zipper . jill : look at your eyes at the thought of that . colin : i take that as a `` yes . `` jill : you can take it as a `` no . `` we 'd never get out of the dressing room . oh , hello . please do n't let this man get too drunk . i 'm gon na need him later . [ both chuckle ] colin : she 's joking . jill : i 'm not ! colin : let the bubbly flow , my good man . oh , kurtz . slumming it , i see . look , i really would n't go throwing that around in public , you know . kurtz : it 's a fake . colin : come on . that 's ridiculous . katherine chancellor had more money than god . she would n't mess with a glass bauble . i refuse to believe i was conned . kurtz : your debt is back on the books , with interest -- 24 hours . after that , i 'll go to your wife . jack : we ca n't go forward the way things are now . we ca n't . it would be wrong . kelly : is this about ben ... or about -- or about phyllis ? or maybe that 's all just some noble excuse , you know ? maybe this is all because you were once a notorious playboy and i fell for your act like a dithering ingénue . jack , i asked you what would happen if phyllis woke up . i ca n't keep asking you that . i ca n't keep -- keep wondering if -- how i 'm gon na feel if something good happens for you or something tragic . jack : what is it you think i 'm saying ? kelly : i - i do n't know . i - i -- [ sighs ] i mean , you need a break or -- jack : no , no , no , no . wait , wait , wait . stop , stop , stop , stop . slow d -- kelly , slow down . this is a difficult situation . we can get through this . kelly : i do n't understand , though . together or -- or separately ? you just said that you 're not ready , and ... [ voice breaking ] and then a minute ago , you were saying that i 'm a new chapter in your life . i do n't understand . which is it ? jack : i understand your being confused . i do . it 's the same way i feel every time the damn phone rings . kelly : [ crying ] um , is that supposed to be less confusing ? jack : i was talking about a year ago . every time the phone would ring , i would get this feeling ... it 's her . she 's awake . she 's coming back to me . i mean , that spark would dissipate as soon as i answered and found out it was n't her on the other end . so i went for months -- months . and eventually , i - i came to realize ... [ voice breaking ] maybe she 's not coming back . but the phone would still ring , and i 'd still get that rush of hope . it still happens . only , the last couple of months , that hope has been accompanied by a kind of dread . what if , by some miracle , she woke up ? what would i do ? would i tell kelly ? you see , i want her to come back , but i do n't want this to end . kelly : well , that 's the confusing part , is n't it ? jack : and i do n't want that for either of us . i do n't want to run the gamut of emotions every time the phone rings . so , it 's time . it 's time to finally , completely let go of the past . kevin : i did something that i have done for the department many times . `` hey , fisher , work your hacking magic . just do n't tell us about it . `` so , it 's okay if i do it for the cops , just not if i do it for a friend . michael : you stole the doctor 's i.d . badge , in essence , impersonating a doctor , and then you broke into hospital files . kevin : and who cares about the lives at stake ? nice . michael : what lives ? kevin : ben rayburn is a killer and a liar . it 's not even his real name . it is in the public interest to know what he is capable of . michael : oh . so , you have the public 's interest in mind ? suddenly , you 've become the defender of truth , justice , and the genoa city way ? kevin : yeah , that 's right . michael : stop it . do n't make what you 're doing sound noble . look , you had an itch . chloe 's gone . you 're depressed . this is your drug -- hacking and stealing . you got a rush , did n't you ? a high that blotted out everything else for a little while . kevin : ben rayburn is going to get what he deserves . barton : i did get an earful about you , and the hospital board thinks you 're the right doctor to be chief resident . stitch : when you called , i did n't think it was about this . barton : you knew we were fast - tracking you for the job . you have exceptional skills , doctor , and an equally exceptional character . that 's a rare find . most doctors do n't possess both those qualities . that 's exactly what memorial hospital needs and our patients deserve . stitch : i - i appreciate all that . i - i - i do , but ... barton : is that false modesty i 'm hearing , doctor ? modesty does n't save lives . boldness does , courage , respect for life . stitch : i understand that , sir . barton : good . well , the job is yours , then . it 's time to celebrate . nick : all right . do you need me to tell billy and stitch to beat it -- you know , just back off ? 'cause i 'll do it . victoria : you know what ? i 'm your older sister . i think i should be looking out for you . nick : no , no , no . you got some of these ? be careful . they 'll get you . victoria : no . nick : until you do ... victoria : [ laughs ] you do n't have to beat up billy or ben for me . it 's okay . the occasional tea party is nice . you know , i automatically came looking for you . nick : well , you know , if i was in the same situation , i 'd be looking for you , too . faith : i have a present for the baby . i 'm too old for these now . nick : oh . victoria : oh , thanks ! ohh . he or she will love this stuff . thank you . faith : i think it has to be a girl . delia had a brother . she would want a baby sister now . billy : thank you ... for the file . chelsea : like i said , no more games -- just confessions that make me feel stupid . billy : you never have to feel stupid when you 're with me . chelsea : you say things like that , and i know it 's true . and it makes me wish things were different , but i ca n't wish things like that because it would n't be good for either of us . so , that 's why i gave you the file . you deserve to know who 's spending time with your wife and your son , so ... go . make sure victoria never spends any time with stitch ever again . billy : what about adam ? you feel the same way ? chelsea : adam 's gone . billy : yeah , but after everything he did , would you take him back ? chelsea : i loved adam ... very much -- all of him -- his faults , his pride , the way he loved me , but ... after what happened with delia , it 's just -- billy : it sucks . [ sighs ] you ca n't control who you love . chelsea : no , you ca n't . so , why are you still here ? why are n't you halfway to 's with that file right now ? jill : i would say that the dress is too risqué , but who am i fooling ? i love it . colin : jill , do you know that you are an absolute gem ? i mean , that 's a fact . jill : wow . you 're very serious . makes me nervous . colin : ca n't a man compliment his wife and tell her how much he loves her ? jill : do you want me to tell you the same thing ? 'cause you already have the proof . i used a fake necklace to file a false insurance claim to take the target off your back , and if that ai n't love , i do n't know what is . colin : no , it was -- an act of pure love . it saved my hide . and i would have done the same for you . our vows -- that said it all -- `` to protect and serve . `` jill : [ laughs ] darlin ' , that 's the police , you dope . colin : well , whatever . i owe you one . jill : you owe me millions . colin : which is why we got to get on that flight -- sandy beaches , drinks with umbrellas in them , and you with nothing on except perfume . jill : ah , okay . i 'll grab the tickets . okay . colin : [ sighs ] chelsea : you 're still here . billy : yeah , well , suddenly i do n't know what to do with this . chelsea : the man in that file wants your wife , billy . what is there to decide ? billy : rayburn is scum . that 's not up for debate . and he does n't deserve his career or his medical license . he sure as hell does n't deserve victoria . a big bomb is dropping . the guy 's a murderer . if that 's not enough to keep victoria away , then i do n't know what is . this just ... feels like overkill . chelsea : ammunition is ammunition . if victoria is , in fact , pregnant with stitch 's baby , i mean , that 's gon na be a really hard connection to break . billy : not me and victoria -- or me and chloe , for that matter . chelsea : that 's why the file is so important . you need the file to get the woman you want . billy : you are not some consolation prize . and , yeah , how we met was insane , and everything that happened afterwards . but now you 're this amazing woman who 's in my corner and does n't see me as some jerk . chelsea : you 're not a jerk . i want you to be happy , billy . i want you to have what you want . billy : you , too . chelsea : i 'm gon na check on connor again , so i think you should go . michael : what do you think dr. rayburn deserves ? kevin : i 'll tell you what he does n't deserve -- great job , beautiful girlfriend , possibly a baby on the way . michael : and you think you deserve those things ? kevin : i 'm not having a pity party . michael : when delia died -- kevin : i just said i 'm not having a pity party . michael : we know what billy lost . we know what chloe lost . but we never talk about what you lost . you loved that little girl -- a woman that you hoped to spend the rest of your days with . kevin : yeah , fine , fine . okay . a year ago , i did n't think this was where i would be . michael : well , all that time and energy and love you put into trying to save chloe -- now you 're just gon na lose yourself . kevin : that 's not true . this is who i am . we both know it . michael : bitter , angry , and making bad choices -- that 's just you circa five years ago . kevin : michael , it 's not that bad . i did a little bit of hacking for the right reasons . michael : and identity theft . kevin : meh . bump in the road . you 've gotten me out of worse before . it 's what you do . michael : i do this because i 'm your brother and i care , not because i 'm your own personal ticket - fixer . i 'm not gon na stand by and watch you go through your own personal death spiral , so stop it . come back -- now . kevin : i need a lawyer right now , michael , not a shrink . are you gon na help me or not ? harding : time 's up . come on , fish . let 's add a new mug shot to your collection . michael : harding , you have had it out for my brother from day one , for months now . the whole squad room knows . how would it look if i suggest to the judge that you planted that evidence ? harding : did you just threaten me , counselor ? michael : your chain of evidence is flimsy , at best . harding : chief williams keeps this one around as a pet . but paul 's not here right now , so we do things my way . i 'm putting the mutt in his cage . kevin : you can not lock me up ! harding : look , you can bark all you want . the judge wo n't be able to hear you from your holding cell . kevin : mi - michael , michael , i ca n't go in there . michael : all right , listen . listen . i will get you out -- it will be okay , all right ? -- soon . harding : come on . kelly : how do you propose that we do that -- let the past go ? jack : that 's the question that keeps me awake at night . i do n't know . maybe ... we do it in small ways . maybe -- here . maybe big ways . kelly : your inviting me to your family dinner was -- was pretty big , right ? trial by fire ? and not revealing what i told you about my brother ... right away . look , you have proved your love to me in so many ways , jack . what 's it gon na take for you to be ready to move ahead ? jack : i do n't think i have a choice . i think i have to leave you . kelly : leave me ? why ? you 're going to georgia ? jack : i have to tell phyllis . i have to see her . i have to tell her ... about you , about us . kelly : jack , are you sure ? i mean , the way that you feel about her , to -- to have to say the words ... jack : i have to say the words . i - i do n't know that she 'll understand or even hear me , but to pretend it does n't exist -- i ca n't do that . that 's wrong . that 's an insult . it 's ... you are not some secret i have to keep . everyone that matters to me knows about us . everyone i care about , including summer , knows how i feel about you . it 's time i tell phyllis face - to - face . that 's how we 're gon na move on . dr. burnett : response to audio stimulus -- no further brainwave activity . vitals are strong , but patient shows no progress . pending family approval , a suitable candidate for dr. cutler 's trial . kevin : so , two minutes with my lawyer and then a cell ? michael : what do you expect when you leave evidence in your desk drawer in a squad room ? kevin : i ca n't do this , michael . michael : listen , i 'm gon na try and fast - track your arraignment and get you out on bond before you ever see the inside of a cell . kevin : good . thank you . michael : do n't thank me . just get ahold of yourself . stop making excuses and giving yourself permission to screw up . kevin : well , that 's supportive . michael : i 'm not gon na let you go down the rabbit hole , so you might as well snap out of it . kevin : okay , look -- i do n't want to see the inside of a cell again , but -- michael : please stop at `` but . `` kevin : but ben rayburn does not deserve a free pass , okay ? i was doing chelsea a favor . she 's one of my last connections to chloe , and i would do it again . chelsea : yes , she was . she did this crazy thing called `` putting other people first . `` you did n't know your mommy before , but it 's something i did n't do a lot of in the old days . i did a really unselfish thing . yay . victoria : thank you so much , faith . the baby 's gon na love all these things , whether it 's a boy or a girl . nick : all right , beautiful . we need towels , goggles , and sunscreen , and let 's go to the pool . faith : yay ! nick : sorry . she just gets excited , says stuff . victoria : what ?

[ cell phone rings ] stitch : it 's dr. shelby . victoria : just -- i 'm sure you have a life to save . stitch : chief , is everything okay ? barton : i need to see you . stitch : yeah , i 'm kind of in the middle of something right now . barton : athletic club -- now . stitch : boss wants to talk . victoria : [ sighs ] just go . [ sighs ] harding : i.d . in your desk . you deny swiping it ? michael : ah , ah . do n't answer that . this is illegal search and seizure . harding : it 's not illegal search if i had a legit reason to look in his desk . kevin : for what ? ! you could n't find your own ass for the map . harding : well , since you 've been worse than useless lately , i was looking for a file in your desk , and i happened upon the badge , already reported stolen . you do remember that , do n't you , kev -- where i asked you to look into it and you could n't be bothered to lift a finger ? oh , that 's right -- add obstruction to the list for messing with the investigation . michael : why are you so invested in this , harding ? kevin : because it 's what he does . he pounds on his chest and blows smoke . harding : no , i catch criminals , and who would have thought i had one sitting 10 feet away from me the whole time ? kevin : cute . harding : yeah , i 'm adorable , like you 're gon na be in that orange jumpsuit . this case is a loser , baldwin . just dump it on the public defender , walk away . it 's bad for your record . michael : thank you for the career advice , but i need a moment with my client -- alone . billy : we 're both kind of screwed when it comes to who we love . but the thing is ... adam 's not coming back . and victoria -- she 's -- chelsea : she 's alive , which means , no matter what , you got a shot . billy : at least i hope so . chelsea : you do . and you have to go for it , no matter how much fun this is . billy : this is more than fun , chelsea . chelsea : you 're right . it is . but it has to end , billy . at this point , we 're just -- we 're just messing with our own heads . billy : look , i never meant to lead you on . chelsea : no , no . i 'm not blaming you , but it does have to stop . no more fixing your back , and to be clear , when i say that , i 'm talking about sex . billy : yeah , i got that the first time . all right . so , we 're agreed ? so , no more back - fixing or handshaking . chelsea : no more games . no more -- no more anything . oh . this belongs to you now . it 's everything kevin was able to pull up on stitch . whatever you do with it , it 's up to you . billy : [ sighs ] jack : this is love . this is good and strong . we just proved that upstairs . kelly : well , upstairs was great -- it always is -- but chemistry is one thing . emotions are another . and if you still feel so emotionally connected to phyllis that being with me makes you feel like you 're cheating on her , i need to know that . jack : you said you need to find a way to move on . it made me wonder just how ready i am to move on . i 'm still attached to phyllis ... kelly : okay . jack : ... whether through summer or history or the way i will always feel about her . kelly : that 's understandable . i mean , you were supposed to be married to her , right , by now ? and i suppose i expected to still be married with a son . maybe i 'd have a - another beautiful little boy or a girl by this point . but when that went away ... i did n't expect to be happy again like this , have a second chance at magical love . jack : that 's the right word . it has been magical , from our very first date , watching you close your eyes and just drink in the music in the park . you woke me up . you brought me out of the dark . you helped me be the father that summer needs . but it can be so much more . we could have so much more . kelly : but ... we 're not there yet , are we ? jack : no , we 're not . dr. burnett : your fiancé feels music might be the way to bring you back . feel free to prove him right . colin : if you want me with my nose to the grindstone , fine , but it 's gon na play hell with my looks . jill : hey , angel , nobody wants you anywhere near the boardroom or the boutique . colin : so , it 's my money you 're after , eh ? jill : mm - hmm . yeah , your money that 's in our bank account , which neither one of us earned . colin : well , you know , if you had n't got all upset and hurled something at me , that necklace may have stayed hidden forever . jill : hurled ? colin : yeah , hurled . jill : you know what i love ? i love that my desire to injure you is what made all of our dreams come true . colin : ah , yes . jill : we have the diamond necklace . we have the insurance money . now you are a member of the family business . and we all have our place in this . colin : yeah , and my place is with you , in first class . part of the reason i 'm late -- i picked up these two tickets to the west indies . jill : a trip ? colin : yeah , call it a honeymoon . jill : aw , really ? colin : yeah , really . now , listen -- let 's get out of here and pack , hmm ? jill : we do n't have to pack . we can just buy all our clothes there , okay ? come to that , let 's fly private . colin : i like that . jill : i was kidding , honey . i was kidding , all right ? colin : well , listen -- maybe you were . i picked out a dress for you from our boutique . jill : our boutique ? the boutique that you invested in has n't even been built yet ? colin : well , you have a boutique in town , and so i figured , you know , what 's yours is mine and mine is yours . jill : oh , there -- there it is . now i get it . i 'm paying for these . colin : yeah . ohh . jill : [ laughs ] that 's what i thought . colin : yes . jill : that 's my boy . michael : [ chuckles ] what is this -- a cry for help ? i thought you were holding it together . kevin : who says i 'm not ? michael : you stole a doctor 's i.d . you broke into files . you lied to an officer of the law . what part of that is rational . kevin : i ca n't go to jail , michael . michael : i know you ca n't , but you sure have an odd way of going about it . what were you doing ? kevin : i was doing someone a favor . michael : a favor ? you know what ? you help someone move as a favor . you take someone to the airport as a favor . you do n't commit a crime . kevin : that 's good advice -- for next time . michael : is that a confession ? kevin : who 's asking -- my brother or my lawyer ? michael : you want attorney - client privilege , fine . tell me more about your friend , you tell me more about your mission , and you tell me how someone with a rap sheet like yours gets in trouble with the law again . billy : oh , and look here -- `` have you ever been convicted of a felony ? `` he answers , `` no `` ? this is n't some oversight or a bad call . that 's a crime . i mean , he can go back to jail for that . chelsea : if the authorities are given this information or if they piece it together on their own . billy : well , at the very least , rayburn loses his medical license . chelsea : if this guy had half a brain , he would leave town and never look back . nick : how 's the tea ? sweet enough ? faith : so , you and mommy are scared ? nick : i 'm not scared of anything -- especially tea . you know , in the old days , i could fake you out by just changing the subject , but you 're getting too grown up now . like right now -- you 're not faked out at all , are you ? all right , kid . here 's the deal . your mom and i are very happy with the way things are , without the wedding . how 'bout you ? faith : i want to be mommy 's flower girl -- or maid of honor . [ knock on door , door opens ] victoria : hi ! nick : hey . victoria : hey . i 'm so sorry i did n't call first . nick : it 's all right . victoria : [ smooches ] faith : i want to be maid of honor . victoria : wow ! you are gon na make a beautiful maid of honor . is there something i should know ? nick : no , just hypothetical . victoria : oh , of course . but you look so beautiful in that dress . sometimes make - believe is better than the real thing . nick : are you okay ? faith : the baby 's in there , is n't it ? victoria : yeah , he is -- or she . faith : if it 's a girl , she can be my flower girl someday . nick : what if it 's a boy ? another newman man . faith : boys are ring bearers . uncle billy can teach him how to tie a tie 'cause that 's what dads do . nick : all right , kiddo . let 's lose the fancy dress . we are going swimming soon , right ? faith : right . nick : right . victoria : [ sighs ] nick : what 's going on ? did you get the paternity results for the baby ? victoria : nope . nick : `` nope `` 'cause they were n't ready ? victoria : [ sighs ] i did n't take the test . i know . i know . i said i would . nick : that baby 's gon na have a father , whether you want to know who it is or not . victoria : i was never supposed to be able to have this baby . he or she is my miracle . so , why ca n't we just be enough ? nick : look , i 'm not judging you , and i 'm not telling you what to do . victoria : knowing who the father is ties me to somebody that i do n't trust either way , and i do n't want that for this baby . i do n't want it for me . nick : you deserve this baby , and you deserve some peace and calm , so forget those guys and forget this test . just focus on this miracle that 's coming . be grateful . stitch : sir . barton : doctor . stitch : i imagine you 've heard a few things about me recently . barton : yes , an earful , which is why i can officially say congratulations , dr. rayburn . colin : i think it 's time to try on the dress . come on . i 'll work the zipper . jill : look at your eyes at the thought of that . colin : i take that as a `` yes . `` jill : you can take it as a `` no . `` we 'd never get out of the dressing room . oh , hello . please do n't let this man get too drunk . i 'm gon na need him later .

[ voice breaking ] and then a minute ago , you were saying that i 'm a new chapter in your life . i do n't understand . which is it ? jack : i understand your being confused . i do . it 's the same way i feel every time the damn phone rings . kelly : [ crying ] um , is that supposed to be less confusing ? jack : i was talking about a year ago . every time the phone would ring , i would get this feeling ... it 's her . she 's awake . she 's coming back to me . i mean , that spark would dissipate as soon as i answered and found out it was n't her on the other end . so i went for months -- months . and eventually , i - i came to realize ... [ voice breaking ] maybe she 's not coming back . but the phone would still ring , and i 'd still get that rush of hope . it still happens . only , the last couple of months , that hope has been accompanied by a kind of dread . what if , by some miracle , she woke up ? what would i do ? would i tell kelly ? you see , i want her to come back , but i do n't want this to end . kelly : well , that 's the confusing part , is n't it ? jack : and i do n't want that for either of us . i do n't want to run the gamut of emotions every time the phone rings . so , it 's time . it 's time to finally , completely let go of the past . kevin : i did something that i have done for the department many times . `` hey , fisher , work your hacking magic . just do n't tell us about it . `` so , it 's okay if i do it for the cops , just not if i do it for a friend . michael : you stole the doctor 's i.d . badge , in essence , impersonating a doctor , and then you broke into hospital files . kevin : and who cares about the lives at stake ? nice . michael : what lives ? kevin : ben rayburn is a killer and a liar . it 's not even his real name . it is in the public interest to know what he is capable of . michael : oh . so , you have the public 's interest in mind ? suddenly , you 've become the defender of truth , justice , and the genoa city way ? kevin : yeah , that 's right . michael : stop it . do n't make what you 're doing sound noble . look , you had an itch . chloe 's gone . you 're depressed . this is your drug -- hacking and stealing . you got a rush , did n't you ? a high that blotted out everything else for a little while . kevin : ben rayburn is going to get what he deserves . barton : i did get an earful about you , and the hospital board thinks you 're the right doctor to be chief resident . stitch : when you called , i did n't think it was about this . barton : you knew we were fast - tracking you for the job . you have exceptional skills , doctor , and an equally exceptional character . that 's a rare find . most doctors do n't possess both those qualities . that 's exactly what memorial hospital needs and our patients deserve . stitch : i - i appreciate all that . i - i - i do , but ... barton : is that false modesty i 'm hearing , doctor ? modesty does n't save lives . boldness does , courage , respect for life . stitch : i understand that , sir . barton : good . well , the job is yours , then . it 's time to celebrate . nick : all right . do you need me to tell billy and stitch to beat it -- you know , just back off ? 'cause i 'll do it . victoria : you know what ? i 'm your older sister . i think i should be looking out for you . nick : no , no , no . you got some of these ? be careful . they 'll get you . victoria : no . nick : until you do ... victoria : [ laughs ] you do n't have to beat up billy or ben for me . it 's okay . the occasional tea party is nice . you know , i automatically came looking for you . nick : well , you know , if i was in the same situation , i 'd be looking for you , too . faith : i have a present for the baby . i 'm too old for these now . nick : oh . victoria : oh , thanks ! ohh . he or she will love this stuff . thank you . faith : i think it has to be a girl . delia had a brother . she would want a baby sister now . billy : thank you ... for the file . chelsea : like i said , no more games -- just confessions that make me feel stupid . billy : you never have to feel stupid when you 're with me . chelsea : you say things like that , and i know it 's true . and it makes me wish things were different , but i ca n't wish things like that because it would n't be good for either of us . so , that 's why i gave you the file . you deserve to know who 's spending time with your wife and your son , so ... go . make sure victoria never spends any time with stitch ever again . billy : what about adam ? you feel the same way ? chelsea : adam 's gone . billy : yeah , but after everything he did , would you take him back ? chelsea : i loved adam ... very much -- all of him -- his faults , his pride , the way he loved me , but ... after what happened with delia , it 's just -- billy : it sucks . [ sighs ] you ca n't control who you love . chelsea : no , you ca n't . so , why are you still here ? why are n't you halfway to 's with that file right now ? jill : i would say that the dress is too risqué , but who am i fooling ? i love it . colin : jill , do you know that you are an absolute gem ? i mean , that 's a fact . jill : wow . you 're very serious . makes me nervous . colin : ca n't a man compliment his wife and tell her how much he loves her ? jill : do you want me to tell you the same thing ? 'cause you already have the proof . i used a fake necklace to file a false insurance claim to take the target off your back , and if that ai n't love , i do n't know what is . colin : no , it was -- an act of pure love . it saved my hide . and i would have done the same for you . our vows -- that said it all -- `` to protect and serve . `` jill : [ laughs ] darlin ' , that 's the police , you dope . colin : well , whatever . i owe you one . jill : you owe me millions . colin : which is why we got to get on that flight -- sandy beaches , drinks with umbrellas in them , and you with nothing on except perfume . jill : ah , okay . i 'll grab the tickets . okay . colin : [ sighs ] chelsea : you 're still here . billy : yeah , well , suddenly i do n't know what to do with this . chelsea : the man in that file wants your wife , billy . what is there to decide ? billy : rayburn is scum . that 's not up for debate . and he does n't deserve his career or his medical license . he sure as hell does n't deserve victoria . a big bomb is dropping . the guy 's a murderer . if that 's not enough to keep victoria away , then i do n't know what is . this just ... feels like overkill . chelsea : ammunition is ammunition . if victoria is , in fact , pregnant with stitch 's baby , i mean , that 's gon na be a really hard connection to break . billy : not me and victoria -- or me and chloe , for that matter . chelsea : that 's why the file is so important . you need the file to get the woman you want . billy : you are not some consolation prize . and , yeah , how we met was insane , and everything that happened afterwards . but now you 're this amazing woman who 's in my corner and does n't see me as some jerk . chelsea : you 're not a jerk . i want you to be happy , billy . i want you to have what you want . billy : you , too . chelsea : i 'm gon na check on connor again , so i think you should go . michael : what do you think dr. rayburn deserves ? kevin : i 'll tell you what he does n't deserve -- great job , beautiful girlfriend , possibly a baby on the way . michael : and you think you deserve those things ? kevin : i 'm not having a pity party . michael : when delia died -- kevin : i just said i 'm not having a pity party . michael : we know what billy lost . we know what chloe lost . but we never talk about what you lost . you loved that little girl -- a woman that you hoped to spend the rest of your days with . kevin : yeah , fine , fine . okay . a year ago , i did n't think this was where i would be . michael : well , all that time and energy and love you put into trying to save chloe -- now you 're just gon na lose yourself . kevin : that 's not true . this is who i am . we both know it . michael : bitter , angry , and making bad choices -- that 's just you circa five years ago . kevin : michael , it 's not that bad . i did a little bit of hacking for the right reasons . michael : and identity theft . kevin : meh . bump in the road . you 've gotten me out of worse before . it 's what you do . michael : i do this because i 'm your brother and i care , not because i 'm your own personal ticket - fixer . i 'm not gon na stand by and watch you go through your own personal death spiral , so stop it . come back -- now . kevin : i need a lawyer right now , michael , not a shrink . are you gon na help me or not ? harding : time 's up . come on , fish . let 's add a new mug shot to your collection . michael : harding , you have had it out for my brother from day one , for months now . the whole squad room knows . how would it look if i suggest to the judge that you planted that evidence ? harding : did you just threaten me , counselor ? michael : your chain of evidence is flimsy , at best . harding : chief williams keeps this one around as a pet . but paul 's not here right now , so we do things my way . i 'm putting the mutt in his cage . kevin : you can not lock me up ! harding : look , you can bark all you want . the judge wo n't be able to hear you from your holding cell . kevin : mi - michael , michael , i ca n't go in there . michael : all right , listen . listen . i will get you out -- it will be okay , all right ? -- soon . harding : come on . kelly : how do you propose that we do that -- let the past go ? jack : that 's the question that keeps me awake at night . i do n't know . maybe ... we do it in small ways . maybe -- here . maybe big ways . kelly : your inviting me to your family dinner was -- was pretty big , right ? trial by fire ? and not revealing what i told you about my brother ... right away . look , you have proved your love to me in so many ways , jack . what 's it gon na take for you to be ready to move ahead ? jack : i do n't think i have a choice . i think i have to leave you . kelly : leave me ? why ? you 're going to georgia ? jack : i have to tell phyllis . i have to see her . i have to tell her ... about you , about us . kelly : jack , are you sure ? i mean , the way that you feel about her , to -- to have to say the words ... jack : i have to say the words . i - i do n't know that she 'll understand or even hear me , but to pretend it does n't exist -- i ca n't do that . that 's wrong . that 's an insult . it 's ... you are not some secret i have to keep . everyone that matters to me knows about us . everyone i care about , including summer , knows how i feel about you . it 's time i tell phyllis face - to - face . that 's how we 're gon na move on . dr. burnett : response to audio stimulus -- no further brainwave activity . vitals are strong , but patient shows no progress . pending family approval , a suitable candidate for dr. cutler 's trial . kevin : so , two minutes with my lawyer and then a cell ?

tad : i was n't comparing my loss to -- david : it does n't even come close . your pregnant ex - wife died thousands of miles away in a car crash . your baby was n't anything more than a sonogram left in an empty apartment . tad : to you , maybe . as far as i 'm concerned , i lost a wife and a daughter . david : no . you lost your wife the second she slept with me , tad , and now you finally got me back . you dragged me out of that o.r . , and you kept me from saving my little girl . tad : you are out of your mind . david : you have no idea . anna : i 'm really worried about him . jack : well , i can certainly see why . anna : you know , i 've often wondered what it must feel like to hold someone 's heart in your hand and bring it back to life . you know , david 's done that dozens -- hundreds of times -- saving someone 's life . so why would n't he assume that he has the power over life and death ? jack : what do you think ? do you think david could have saved your baby 's life ? anna : no . no , i do n't think he could have . and he 'll never forgive me for that , ever . luis : yo , what 's up with pollyanna ? reggie : yo , she 's not a problem , ok ? luis : you sure ? because if she opens her mouth -- reggie : yes , i 'm sure . she 's not a problem . i have it under control . luis : man , you got a thing for her . reggie : no , i do n't have a thing for her , man . luis : shh . yes -- reggie : i do n't . luis : look , i understand , all right ? i 'm down with that . pollyanna be looking mighty tasty . might have to help myself to some of that . reggie : you touch her again , i swear to god i 'll kill you . erica : lena kundera is a cancer on this town . greenlee : and you 're going to remove her with surgical precision . erica : why would you even care , greenlee ? greenlee : gee , let 's see . maybe i do n't like it when mothers get in their daughters ' way . or maybe i do think lena 's love life rates a second act . or maybe , just maybe i 'm a hopeless romantic who wants to see lena and bianca hook up so they can live happily ever after and float down main street in the gay pride parade . erica : oh . you know why you hate me so much ? greenlee : why do n't you tell me ? erica : because you want to be me when you grow up . and in spite of all your desperate hype and your spin and your inflated sense of who you are , you know that you will never be me . you stay away from bianca . you 're the last person on earth that she would need any help from . greenlee : hi , granddaddy . good , thanks . listen , i have a lead on a brilliant financial mind , a good friend who needs a job asap . lena kundera . yeah . promise me you 'll hire her , no questions asked ? jack : you know , anna , when life throws you something this horrific , this unbearable , it 's hard to believe it 'll ever be better . so anything david says in the next few days or weeks , i would n't take to heart -- anna : no . everything gets better with time , right ? jack : well , it does for most of us , yeah . anna : david is n't most of us , though . jack : yeah . anna : if he were , i would n't have been so drawn to him . he would n't be the father of my child -- have been the father of my child . jack : so he shuts down , he shuts you out , but you 're at fault because you do n't measure up ? anna : no . no , i 'm not going to do that to myself , no . jack : good . anna : leora was conceived out of love , but the power of love could n't really save her . jackson , i 'm going to miss her every day of my life . is n't that strange ? jack : no . why would you think that 's strange ? anna : because i hardly knew her . really , i did n't know her for very long . jack : anna , did you love her any less than if she would have grown up to do and be all the things you dreamed for her ? anna : i just wanted her to be healthy . i just wanted her heart to beat next to mine . that 's all i really dreamed for her . oh . jack : here . tad : i 'm trying real hard to feel sorry for you , but you 're determined to turn this into some kind of vendetta . you need help , and it 's obviously not the kind of help that we can give you . david : why do n't you just go to hell ? joe : david , these are leora 's things from the hospital . i thought you might want to go through them . take care of yourself . [ next_on ] woodruff : you do n't want to help bianca . you want to hurt erica . boyd : i thought you said you needed a favor . bianca : it 's probably already too late . michael : just how badly do you want to stay in this country ? girl : did you miss me , daddy ? | david spends all night besides leora 's smashed crib . anna comes over and asks him to go with her to make funeral arrangements , but david refuses . disappointedly , anna calls jackson and asks him to accompany her . tad and joe go to comfort david , but david still blames them for leora 's death . he accuses tad of taking revenge for having the affair with dixie . tad tells him he 's out of his mind , and that he should n't turn leora 's death into a personal vendetta . after talking to the ins , erica has lena 's visa revoked . she also meets with a fellow cosmetics executive and asks her to make sure lena does n't get a job in pine valley again . lena desperately asks greenlee for a job , but greenlee sends her away disappointed . after talking to bianca , greenlee realizes the similarities between lena and leo . in front of erica , she encourages bianca to get the girl . later , erica warns greenlee to stay out of her business . she tells greenlee no matter what she does , she will never be as successful as her . greenlee does n't take the comment lightly and after erica leaves , she calls a friend and asks him to hire lena . luis shows up at the community center . when he makes a few suggestive comments about joni , reggie gets furious and tells him to stay away . | <s>[INST] [ previously_on ] erica : you preyed on my daughter bianca . lena : no , erica , i love bianca -- luis : how many of these deliveries come through here every week ? reggie : a lot . why ? luis : because i think we can do some business . anna : i ca n't do this on my own . david : just do what you think is best . leave me out of it .

i got to go . joni : what 's with the attitude , reggie , huh ? what ? luis : recess is over . you , heel . and just what are you looking at ? joni : nothing . reggie : you show your face around here too much . you just missed the d.a . luis : actually , jack ai n't got nothing on me . reggie : that 's good , and you need to try to keep it that way , too . luis : i got the pickup out back . let 's go load it up . reggie : it 's not going to happen today . i 'm not in charge anymore . luis : since when ? reggie : since jackson gave the job to joni , your friend , remember ? luis : then i suggest that you get your woman in line and you make sure she stays out of my way . erica : agent fleming , i appreciate your prompt attention in this matter . agent fleming : thank you , ms. kane , for apprising us of ms. kundera 's change in work status . erica : well , please , just let me know if i can be of any further help . agent fleming : good day . erica : good day . boyd , the r & d meeting is not until after lunch . boyd : erica , look , i 'm the first to blast lena for her ethics , all right ? erica : as if she had any . boyd : look , i know she used people , ok , and abused their trust . i was one of them . but i really believe that lena 's sincere about wanting to turn her life around . and , besides , does bianca know you 're having her girlfriend deported ? erica : her ex - girlfriend , and i 'm doing no such thing , boyd . boyd : erica , you sicced i.n.s . on her . erica : boyd , i 'm running a business here . i agreed to sponsor lena as long as she was employed by enchantment . now she 's no longer on my payroll , and it was my civic duty -- boyd : to what , turn her in ? erica : i merely notified the i.n.s . of a change in her work status . that is what i am obliged to do to meet the criteria for the federal mandates . boyd : oh , come on , erica . that 's bureaucratic bull , and you know it . you 're trying to run lena out of the country any which way you can . erica : that is your perspective . and even if i were , since when did you become the great defender of this lying , conniving thief ? boyd : maybe since i found out there 's more to lena than her mistakes . erica : mistakes ? boyd , lena is a corporate saboteur . she stole your revolutionary anti - aging formula . boyd : erica , please , admit it . this is n't about enchantment . erica : this is all about enchantment -- our cutting - edge research , our hard work , our success . yes , it is . and if at the same time i can protect bianca from lena , then it is worth it . boyd : you see ? erica : oh , fine . ok . you 're not onboard with this , then maybe you ought to go clear out your lab and join lena in a battle that you ca n't win . greenlee : uh , lena , let me see if i 'm getting this . you angled to bring down enchantment , and on the basis of your stunning deception , you want me to give you a job ? lena : i 'm very good at what i do . greenlee : hey , i 'll tell you what . you leave me your card , and when i have an opening for a backstabber , i 'll give you a jingle . lena : ms. dupres , i have an m.b.a. and a further degree in international finance . the reason i got my work permit was thanks to my very specialized expertise . greenlee : yeah , yeah , yeah . we all know what you 're good at . lena : erica kane employed me because of my background in finance with a focus on the cosmetics industry . and now that i 've left enchantment -- greenlee : you mean got kicked out on your kielbasa . lena : look , i think fusion will be the perfect venue . we each have something the other one needs . i wo n't make excuses for what i did behind closed doors , but i will tell you that my hands were tied . greenlee : no , you know what ? save your s & m exploits for your memoirs . i 'm out of here . lena : ms. dupres , i know it 's a lot to ask . you 're probably the last person on earth who 'd offer me a job . greenlee : gee , you think ?

erica : boyd , challenging my motives is not part of your job description . i am about five seconds away from calling security and having them escort you from the building . boyd : you sure you want to do that ? erica : oh , why , do you think you 're indispensable ? no one is indispensable , boyd . i already own the patent on your anti - aging formula . boyd : yeah , you own my formula , erica , but you do n't own me , and you sure do n't own bianca or dictate her life . erica : how dare you . boyd : look , i dare because i care about your daughter . erica : if that were the case , then why would you wish that polish plague on her ? boyd : because bianca and lena love each other , erica , and i 've learned that you take love where you find it . erica : lena has caused my daughter nothing but misery . boyd : that 's not true , erica . lena 's given her a lot more than that . and if you were half as honest as you expect lena to be , you 'd own up to that .

joe : not yet . david : well , you must have some conclusions . how long did leora struggle with her breathing in surgery ? joe : the anesthesiologist noticed a high - pressure buildup about the time you entered the o.r . david : did anybody have the good sense to check the wires ?

when are you going to finally accept the fact that you 're just not good enough ? reggie : here , joni , let me help you with those papers . joni : no , no , i did n't ask mr. montgomery for this job , ok ? reggie : you did n't tell him no , either . joni : why should i ? reggie : because it was my job . i 'm supposed to be taking care of the business . joni : well , i guess he thinks i 'm more qualified than you are . reggie : well , then , i want my job back . just tell him that the work was too much for you , ok ? joni : but it 's not . reggie : just do it , ok ? joni : no , reggie . make me , ok ? greenlee : bianca , you 're comparing lena to my leo ? bianca : you do n't see the connection ? leo came to pine valley after your money , acting under the influence of his mother . lena came to pine valley after boyd 's formula , acting under the influence of michael cambias . it 's the same m.o . greenlee : no , not the same . i forgave leo . you gave lena her walking papers . so why are you defending her ? bianca : because of you . greenlee : me ? bianca : yeah . leo hurt you down to the core . that night at your engagement party when you found out that he had been married before -- not for love , for money -- you broke it off . you told him that you never wanted to see him again . greenlee : i remember that night . leo came to my loft , begging me to forgive him and give him another chance . but i did n't let him in . bianca : not right away . but you did forgive him . greenlee : so , if i 'm such a shining example , what are you waiting for ? go find lena . kiss and make up . bianca : is that what you did ? greenlee : no . i made him suffer and me along with him . it was hell for both of us . bianca : how did you know that you could trust him again , after everything that he had done to you ?

bianca : i 'm here for the trade show . erica : no , i mean , what are you doing with greenlee ? greenlee : you want to know what binks and i were talking about ? her love life . erica : excuse me ? greenlee : i was telling your darling daughter to go for the girl , give lena a second chance . erica : bianca is way too savvy to take your advice about anything . greenlee : actually , she did most of the talking , comparing lena to leo . erica : leo was charming and caring . bianca : so is lena . erica : bianca , honey , why do n't we just head right into the dining room ? bianca : no , no , i 've already seen all of the displays . i 'm going to go back to work . greenlee : you 're not going to win this one , erica . erica : i beg your pardon ? greenlee : lena is -- bartender : thank you . greenlee : ga - ga over binks , and i think it cuts both ways . erica : well , i have no intention of discussing -- greenlee : what , discussing your daughter 's love life ? you 'd have to wash your mouth out with soap . erica : casey wexler told me about this little contest you 're running , the search for the sexiest man in america ? color you desperate , greenlee . greenlee : really ?

[ clears throat ] speaking of , it might be nice , when they do come back , to not have a roommate around -- hint , hint . steffy : oh . yeah , yeah . thomas : yeah . steffy : yeah . yeah . thomas : besides , you do n't want to be living with your brother . is n't the goal to get back to liam ? bill : you need fatherly advice . liam : oh , boy . bill : you actually do have to be patient . liam : says the most impatient guy i know . bill : what ? ! are you kidding me ? you know what i 've been going through with brooke ! she talks herself into getting engaged to forrester . now i ca n't even convince her it 's the worst decision she ever made because she 's visiting hope in europe . liam : so , forrester patience . bill : i - it does n't matter . the point is , sometimes you just have to know that things will work out . all right , it might take some time , but eventually , steffy will move back in here . and brooke ... there is no way in hell that marriage to forrester is ever going to happen . quinn : if you 're here for the tequila , you feel free to take it with you . ridge : i 'm not here for the tequila . quinn : no , that 's right . that 's right , of course . you 're here to humiliate me , take me away from your father . and that 's never going to happen . if you really think that i could ever betray eric , you do n't know a damn thing about me . ridge : you 're right . i do n't . so let 's change that . quinn : [ scoffs ] steffy : i care about wyatt . you know , i hate putting him through this . that 's why liam and i , we have to wait . thomas : and you 're okay with that ?

steffy : well , i 'm sure that 'll eventually happen . i just hope granddad is n't too hurt by it when she does . katie : so , you and quinn -- no trust issues at all . eric : none whatsoever . it may seem foolish to you , but i have total faith in my wife . ridge : tell me . quinn : tell you what ? ridge : tell me your story . quinn : [ laughs ] you do n't want to hear it . ridge : i do . quinn : unh - unh . why would i tell someone who hates me so much about myself ? ridge : maybe there 's a slight chance that he 'd hate you less . quinn : [ scoffs ] you think i really care about that after -- after everything that 's happened ? ridge : talk to me . make me understand . tell me about quinn . quinn : [ chuckles ] ridge : please . quinn : try ... try explaining ... what it feels like to be disrespected and used , over and over and over again and you -- you always say to yourself , `` you know what , the next guy is gon na be different , `` but he 's not . he 's just as awful . i was so young ... ... when bill spencer came into my life . and he tossed me aside . he threw money at me and told me , `` get rid of the kid . `` and then every guy that came after was just another version of bill , or of the men that my mom used to bring home , all lecherous and self - serving . i swore -- i did , i swore i would never be like her . i would never just give men what they want and give up power . ridge : so bill was the first one . he ordered you around , but you made your own choices . quinn : no , i kept him away . i kept my son protected from him . and from every other scumbag that came after . and with a lot of hard work and a lot of dedication , it paid off . it really did because my son -- my son is nothing like the rest of you guys . ridge : the rest of us ? i 'm in a boat with bill spencer now ? quinn : really ? really ? you were n't about to use me tonight ? so you could humiliate me and disgrace me to my husband ? of course you 're like the rest of them ! you 're like all of them ! but not my son . and not my husband ... ... who is the first man to respect me . now that i have that , now that i have the one man on this planet who knows what it is to truly love another person , after years of turning my back and of guarding myself ... i 'm not giving that up ! not ever ! liam : all right . when 's brooke coming back ? bill : i do n't know . liam : well , i got to say , i respect you for not giving up . bill : we 're spencers . we do n't give up . liam : yeah , turns out that 's kind of a problem when wyatt and i want the same thing . bill : you do have a kind of point there , do n't you ? see , steffy 's lucky . i mean , she wins either way . liam : hey ! bill : brooke on the other hand ... i mean , if i do n't convince her to come back to me , she 's stuck with that loser . liam : [ chuckles ] you 'll convince her . bill : yeah , i will . although , i probably wo n't have to , he 'll do it for me . liam : you think so , huh ? bill : man , he 's so freakin ' stupid . he 'll mess up . he always does . ridge : my dad was the first man to treat you well . the first man that did n't make you feel degraded . i understand why you want to fight for him , why you do n't want to lose him . i understand that completely . but here 's what you have to understand . i 'm his son . and he 's kind and he 's gentile . and it 's my job to protect him from people like you . quinn : people like me ? meaning what ? ridge : gold diggers , maybe . quinn : a gold digger . wow . well , see , if i were a gold digger , do n't you think i would have gone after bill spencer 's millions ? geez . [ sighs ] how you see the world ... all those poor , unfortunate ones who were n't born with a million- dollar trust fund . ridge : that 's not what i 'm saying at all . quinn : you are so different than me . you 're so different than most of society . you do n't know what it feels like to be on the verge of bankruptcy ... what it feels like to go hungry because you decide to give your son the last bit of cottage cheese you were able to find in the refrigerator . ridge : no , i do n't know what that 's like . quinn : you do n't . as a forrester , you -- you did n't have to worry about paying bills and feeding yourself , feeding your child , all while trying to get a business up off the ground . and you wonder why i 'm guarded ? really ? you wonder why i come across mean and aggressive ? it 's because i had to be ! ridge : so you build a wall around yourself . you use meanness to push people away . i understand . but you go too far . what you did to liam , to ivy ... quinn : i hate it ! i hate who i was ! i hate all the things that i have done ! i hate how i would justify in my head how i was gon na give my son a better life ! you and i , we may be so different , but there is one thing that we have in common . we would do anything for our children . ridge : that 's true . quinn : that 's true . so , for you , that might have been writing some sort of big check to a private school . but , for me , no , i had to be a little bit more ... i had to be more creative . did i make mistakes ? yes , i made so many mistakes . but after years and years and years of hard work and dedication ... i finally am able to give my son a life worth living . i -- i am getting that life worth living because i 'm loved ! [ laughs ] that 's something that i never even dared to hope for . and now that i have that , now that i have that , i am telling you this , ridge , and please -- you have to hear me . i am not letting you take that away from me . katie : so , quinn and ridge in san francisco . eric : mm - hmm . katie : think they 'll make it back alive ? eric : there might be a broken limb or two . katie : [ laughs ] eric : i have high hopes for this event . it 'd be a chance for them to get to know each other better . maybe even some kind of a breakthrough . it might be exactly what the two of them need . ridge : i do n't want to take my dad away from you . i do n't want to take anything away from you . i want to protect my father and this family and this company and our legacy . quinn : you 're afraid of me . ridge : no , i 'm not afraid of you . i 'm afraid that my dad does n't see you for who you are . quinn : he 's the only one who ever has . that fear you 're feeling -- i 've lived with it every single day of my life . ridge : i 'm not afraid of anything . quinn : really ? really ? a single mother ... on her own ? i knew every single month could be the month that we end up homeless . [ scoffs ] god , and you think i was n't afraid ? [ laughs ] ridge : i 'm just telling you what i see . you go through the world and you push people out of the way . quinn : i had to be guarded . i had no other choice . i had been burned and burned so many times , so , yes , i did . i did , i pushed people away ! i -- i had to ! and who cares ? who cares if people thought that i was a bitch ? because i survived . i endured every single thing that i had ever been through .

[ everyone gasps ] [ chatter ] wyatt : as you all know , the hope for the future diamond has been hugely significant for forrester creations and for hope and me . um , sadly , ricardo montemayor , the owner of the diamond , recently passed away . um , amazingly enough , he willed it to me . [ everyone gasps ] wyatt : [ chuckles ] yeah . yeah . uh , hope ? [ chatter ] hope : here you go . [ chuckles ] wyatt : the hope for the future diamond . [ camera shutters clicking ] wyatt : i promised you that i would give this to you one day . and its presence only speaks to its power . here it is . it 's yours . all you got to do is take it . i 'm offering you the hope for the future diamond . [ everyone gasps ] wyatt : it 's all yours . [ chuckles ] hope : [ chuckles nervously ]Summarize.[/INST]liam rants that he does n't know how wyatt thinks sometimes . giving hope the diamond was so uncool . she says he wanted her to have it for the connection to her line . liam says this gesture is more than about her line and if she keeps it she will be sending wyatt a message . surely she has to get that . he hates that he let his guard down . she begs him to please not let this get in the way of their just now becoming like brothers . he says he knows . it 's because he was the one to reach out . wyatt saved his life and proved he is not like his mother . they were supposed to have an understanding and already wyatt is being inappropriate by giving her the diamond . and that does n't even make any sense why ricardo left wyatt the diamond in the first place . they barely knew each other . she says they bonded over the diamond . liam says okay then that is a reason enough that wyatt should keep the diamond . he wants hope to text or send an e - mail to wyatt and give the diamond back . aly tells ivy she is sure hope will do the right thing and give the diamond back to wyatt . ivy says it wo n't be easy . what woman could resist a piece like that . aly says believe her wyatt is no prize . he is sneaky and underhanded with manipulations when it comes to hope . wyatt walks in and tells aly it always warms his heart to know he has her support . he tells ivy she ca n't believe everything aly says as she ca n't stand him and is not exactly objective . most people think he is a pretty nice guy . ivy asks if that includes hope . he says he thinks she will give him a good recommendation . aly follows and for good measure they can follow that up with liam 's thoughts . wyatt says in case she has missed it he and his brother are getting along well these days . rick comes in . wyatt says he 's glad they are all here as he wants them to be a part of it . wyatt says it is a press conference and the press is on their way . rick is not sure he likes that without some assurance of what it is about . wyatt says it is a surprise but if rick will go with him on this he assures him he will not be sorry . wyatt says it is the next evolution for hftf and for hope . rick says again in front of his group . he does not like going into this pc blind . aly makes a smart report like this is n't the first time wyatt has done something questionable . wyatt reminds her that was in the past . maya wants a clue . wyatt says he has found a way to put hftf back on the map but bigger than ever this time . oliver says it is risky . wyatt says he is that confident that it will be the next big step . but he tells rick that if he is not onboard he will plug the plug right now ; just tell him . rick tells him to go ahead but do not make him sorry that he agreed to it . wyatt says great today is going to be a big day for their team .</s> | 4,971 |

so you know , i 'm not the bad guy here . i 've been protecting you . jordan : oh , that 's a lie . you used everything that happened to blackmail me , you bastard . you made me do thing that i would never , ever do . clyde : you listen to me , i never made you do anything that you did n't want to do . jordan : oh , that is a sick lie and you damn well know it . nicole : i ca n't stand to think of johnny and sydney in so much pain . rafe : oh , my god , i know . i know what you mean -- they 're two of the sweetest kids in the world -- then there 's allie -- her whole planet 's been turned upside down . nicole : i talked to chad . he said they 're doing as well as to be expected . rafe : you do n't buy it ? nicole : no , i mean chad loves them but he does n't know them like -- rafe : like you do . nicole : like i used to . rafe : yeah , so why do n't you go over there ? see how they 're doing for yourself . stefano : chad -- chad , are you still there ? chad : yep , i 'm here . stefano : what 's happening with samantha ? chad : well , actually -- sami : all right , all right , fine . i will tell you everything . stefano : chad ? chad : father -- sorry , you 're cutting in and out on me . yeah , but what i wanted to say , was , that i did n't think sami was gon na make it after ej was gone , but she 's really pulled herself together . she 's been really , really strong for those kids . so if you think she 's going to be a push - over now , i would revise your thinking . stefano : i can handle samantha brady , all right , is there any other news ? chad : no , but i will keep you up to speed . anything else you want me to do ? stefano : well , you might want to tell katerina that i 'll be buying 300,000 shares of kane industries . chad : yes , sir . stefano : that tip that you gave katerina about the merger of the drug companies in frankfurt , should cost her a bundle . and it did n't do the company any good , either . but , it 's not enough to cause serious damage , all right ? this deal should put another nail in her coffin . chad : i 'll take care of it . good bye , father . sami : you , god , you are such a dimera , you son of a bitch . jj : wait a minute , you talked to paige last night ? rory : she did n't tell you ? jj : what did she say ? rory : not much . i mean , she stuck up for you but i could tell that something was bothering her . something about the two of you . so what 's up ? i thought the two of you were like brangelina or something . jj : we 're fine . rory : got ta tell ya , man , i 'm not so sure that she thinks that . ' sides , looks like something 's bugging you too . better be careful , or little paige might just move on , man . marybeth : want to know why things are so different with jj since that night , because maybe he did do something with jill . and maybe he 's backing off with you because he 's still doing it . or -- or maybe there 's somebody else . paige : calm down . marybeth : it drives me nuts that you ca n't see what 's right in front of you . paige : i said jj 's upset about something . that does n't mean he 's sneaking around behind my back .. marybeth : well , maybe it means that , you know , he is a nice guy after all and he 's guilty . maybe that 's why he wo n't sleep with you ? paige : shh ! marybeth : well , it has to be that or something -- or maybe -- paige : maybe what ? marybeth : maybe he got an std and is smart enough to know that he ca n't give it to you . paige : okay , that 's it . we 're done . marybeth : why are you taking this out on me ? i 'm not the one who 's driving you up the wall , paige , jj is . jill : so you were a working girl back in the day . big deal . you already told me the whole story . eve : yeah , obviously you were n't paying attention , otherwise you would 've heard me say that i got smart and got out of it . which is exactly what you should 've done instead of biting the hand that helped ya . jill : we helped each other out , honey . your daughter got pictures of that kid jj when he was all over me . eve : yeah . but you used drugs to make that happen , and i never agreed to that . jill : what do you care ? eve : oh , well you should care , honey . yeah , you should , because if you say one word to paige or anybody else , that i hired you , i 'll say `` yeah , i hired her to prove that jj was a horny , irresponsible kid . `` but i 'll also say that `` i was shocked beyond belief that she used drugs on him . `` jill : and what 's gon na happen to your relationship with your , little girl ? eve : well , it will probably suffer . but she will come to know that i was just looking out for her because i love her . but you , on the other hand , you 're gon na go to jail , jill . yeah , 'cause the last time i checked , drugging an unsuspecting boy was a felony , i think . but you know what , i 'm not real sure , so i 'm gon na call my good friend abe carver , he is the commander of the police here in salem . jill : you 're bluffing . eve : really ? could i speak commander carver , please ? yes . eve donovan larson . they say his magic erasers tackle so many messes , nicole : chad said the same thing . rafe : about going to see johnny and sydney ? nicole : uh - huh . rafe : so why do n't you ? sami ? nicole : she does n't want me anywhere near her kids , especially sydney . rafe : even now ? even though she knows you might be able to make them feel better ? nicole : you think she knows that ? rafe : when you were going out with ej , and you were taking time with those kids , she knows how well you were taking care of them . nicole : really ? rafe : yes . really . nicole : all right , if you think it 'll do some good , i will consider going over to the dimera house . rafe : you should . do it . how 's everything else going with you these days ? not good , huh ? jj : all you need to know about paige and me is that i love her , man . rory : you use the `` l `` word , man ? well then you better go talk to her before some other dude does to you what you did to me . jj : he 's right . daniel 's right . i got ta tell her everything . [ phone ringing ] paige : hi , jj . jj : hey , um , could you , maybe , come over to my house ? paige : why ? you did n't want me there last night . jj : well , it 's important , um , i need to explain about last night . eve : oh , no problem , i 'll hold for commander carver . jill : i just need $ 500 . eve : and i 'm supposed to pay you a dime after you blackmailed me ?

jill : okay . whatever you want . eve : okay . now that is more like it . i 'll get you the money . and jill ... do n't play a player again . jordan : let go of me ! clyde : before you start shooting off your mouth , you better get your facts straight . stop trying to re - write history , tammy sue . jordan : stop calling me that ! clyde : that 's the name you were born with , girl . jordan ridgeway , what kind of a name is that for a girl from the ozarks , huh ? did you think by giving yourself that fancy name you would n't do the things that tammy sue would do ? that you could just wipe that all from your mind ? jordan : i did not kill my mother . clyde : well that 's funny , 'cause i 'm not the only one who heard you fightin ' with her before she got into the truck , heard you callin ' her weak and stupid . jordan : yeah , i was trying to get through to her so she would leave you . clyde : yeah , you got through to her all right , you and that box elder tree you ran her into -- jordan : stop saying that ! clyde : you took her away from all of us and then you took away my son . jordan : oh , no , you did that . you drove us away ! clyde : [ laughing ] who 's the liar now , tammy sue ? sami : you stood there and let me think that you were gon na sell me out to that monster , you were chatting with him about my children . chad : you left me no choice . sami : you may think that your father 's become some innocent senior citizen , but i know better . chad : the only way you were gon na let me help you was by blackmailing you into it . so , are you gon na tell me what 's going on or do i have to call him back ? sami : how do i know that you just wo n't tell him everything anyway , no matter what i do ? kate : sami -- sami : answer me ! chad : you do n't know that , sami . you have to trust me . kate : and you can . sami : yeah , my mind is at ease . yeah , thanks . kate : let me put a different way . kate : i trust him . chad : and you can too . so ?

sami : you do . chad : and that 's like ? kate : like fraud . sami : do you have to use that word ? kate : well that 's what it is . sami : well , kate , we do n't have to go around , like , saying it . chad : okay , have you decided how you want to deal with this ? sami : yes . lucas and victor are looking into it . chad : victor kiriakis ? kate : yes , he 's very nicely agreed to help us . chad : well , i might be able to help you too . sami : how ? chad : i 'm a major share - holder in dimera enterprises . victor ought to be able to use that to his advantage . sami : and you would do that for me ? chad : yeah . sami : see , you can be a good guy . chad : do n't let that get around . kate : well , what do you say you and i go get some coffee and figure out how we are going to present this to victor and lucas ? chad : fine . try not to worry . sami : wherever you are , thank you . jordan : do you have any idea -- any idea what it was like to sit around and not know when you were gon na come home drunk and start hitting mama , or me , or ben , even though he was just a little boy ? clyde : i know that when i had too much to drink i made mistakes . jordan : mistakes ? okay , so that 's what you call cracked ribs , and black eyes , and concussions ? clyde : that 's why i stopped drinkin ' so much . jordan : no , you stopped because we were n't there to smack around anymore . clyde : i 'd already started to change before you left . you did n't see it 'cause you were n't there . jordan : i had to get ben out of there , i had to get away from you . clyde : you ran because you 're guilty ! i know it and so do you ! rory : i ca n't believe it . it 's her . eve : well , my daughter certainly did n't tell me that her internship had her rubbing shoulders with the chief of staff . kayla : i 'm really surprised she did n't tell you that we met . i told her that i knew you . eve : well , you know what , we 've both been really busy . she 's got her school work , i 've been looking for an accompanist . kayla : oh . well , she 's a lovely girl . you should be proud . eve : oh , i am . and thank you . you know she was accepted into stanford university ? kayla : then why is she here at salem u ? eve : well , let 's just say she 's been distracted , you know , by -- kayla : my nephew jj . is that what you were going to say ? eve : well , there are a lot of reasons that she 's deferred her acceptance , but yeah , jj 's one of them . kayla : well , i guess i could see why . they seem crazy about each other . eve : excuse me ? are you encouraging that relationship ? [ knocking on door ] jj : hey , i 'm so glad to see you . come on in . do you want to sit down or something ? paige : whatever . jj : look , um , i know that i acted really weird last night . paige : when i snuck in here and crawled into bed with you , you mean . jj : you know that 's what i mean . paige : oh , so when that happens to other guys they do n't grab the covers and act like they 're being attacked ? jj : you 're mad . paige : yeah , i 've kind of moved past being hurt and embarrassed . jj : i get that . paige : look , i do n't want to do what we did last night , you know , where i get all upset and keep asking you what 's wrong and you just stand there . if something happened between us that i 'm missing or i do n't understand , i want you to tell me what it is . jordan : i did n't do anything wrong . clyde : you took my only child away from me . you took my son . and if you do n't stop trying to come between me and him , i 'm gon na tell him and all the world what you did . all of it . so you listen to what i 've said , girl , and start using your head . jordan : `` one woman in this family 's gon na do as i say . `` is n't that what you used to tell me ? clyde : you got a lot more than your mama 's blood on your hands . chad : so , you still have n't told me how you think that went . kate : [ sighs ] what ? chad : the meeting with victor ... where we just were . kate : well , i think he believes that your support will be helpful . chad : uh - huh . so what were you thinking about just now ? kate : i was thinking , now that you 've signed on to help sami get out of this mess , that perhaps you wo n't continue to play games , pretending that you 're going to use stefano against us . chad : and who said that was a game ? clyde : hey kate , fancy meetin ' you here . kate : well , hello . you seem to be in an awfully good mood . clyde : yeah , you ever have one of those days , you get to feelin ' things are just gon na go your way ? sami : this is an amazing picture , it 's beautiful . is that daddy right there ? so who 's everyone else in the picture , huh ? sydney : guess . sami : you want me to guess ? okay . i bet that 's you . right ? and that 's johnny . this is me ? with the really short skirt ? and that 's allie . who 's over here ? is that -- did you draw will with baby arianna ? so this is all the people who love you , and your daddy , and who 's this over here ? sydney : do you know the address so i can send my picture to daddy in heaven ? sami : i do n't know it , but i 'll look it up online .

i think he 's in the kitchen . nicole : i 'm so sorry , i should 've called first . me and my impulses -- sami : no , nicole , it 's okay . nicole : it 's not okay . and i am so , so sorry . sami : [ crying ] | jill came back to salem and wanted eve to give her money . she threatened to tell paige what eve did to ruin her relationship with jj . clyde threatened to tell ben that jordan killed their mother if she said anything to poison ben 's mind against him . jordan denied killing her mother . kate and sami talked about the trouble sami 's in when chad walked in and offered to help . sami did n't believe that he wanted to help her . clyde reminded jordan that he covered for her years ago . jordan told clyde that he made her do terrible things . stefano called chad and he asked about the kids . chad promised to keep stefano informed about what was going on with them as well as kate . stefano wanted chad to put a nail in kate 's coffin . sami was upset with chad for talking to stefano about her kids . eve warned jill that she would admit to hiring her , but she did n't know about the drugs . eve threatened to call abe to tell that jill drugged jj . | <s>[INST] jj : i love you so much . this is how i want it to be for us . paige : if you 're so in love with me , why did n't you tell me your father raped your aunt kayla ?

marybeth : no . no . paige : do you know more about what happened that night at the party than you 've been saying ? marybeth : no , i 've never seen that little slut before . paige : but you said you hurt your arm and took off right before everything happened . and since it turned out that nothing was actually wrong with your arm -- marybeth : okay , my arm hurt , all right paige , i had to go to the doctor . i thought you were over all of this jj and jill stuff . i mean , you said that he told you that someone spiked his drink or something . right ? paige : right . yeah . marybeth : and you must 've believed him , i mean , you went and got birth control after that . paige : i know . marybeth : so , why are you upset about it all over again ? eve : get in here , i do n't want any neighbors to see you . what are you doing back in town ?

[ clears throat ] eve : is that so ? jill : you can be cheap if you want to , but i wo n't have any choice but to find sweet , little paige and tell her that jj was n't really sneaking around behind her back . and that he did n't come on to me . and the whole situation was set up by you . eve : well , look at you , looks like there is a brain in there underneath all of that tarted up hair and make up . mm , looks like i 'm in a pickle . jill : sure seems that way . eve : except you forget one thing , sweetheart , i used to be you . jordan : you know , this is just like you . things are n't going your way so you make up some great big lie . clyde : you say one word to turn ben against his own daddy , i swear i will tell him the truth . jordan : i did n't kill her . clyde : i did n't kill her . clyde : ben was too little to know what i saw at the bottom of tupelo hill that day , but he 's old enough now . jordan : no . clyde : how the passenger side of that truck was smashed into that tree . jordan : stop it ! clyde : like somebody plowed into it on purpose . blood everywhere . your poor mama never stood a chance , tammy sue . jordan : no , it was an accident . i loved mama , i would never kill her . nicole : when i saw ej before -- before this all happened , we sort of buried the hatchet . okay , well , we did n't throw it at each other . rafe : which is good . it 's always good , yeah . well , i ca n't say i ever made peace with the guy . nicole : you still hate him ? rafe : oh , yeah . nicole : did that make it hard to investigate his murder ? rafe : it might have , had it not been so cut and dried . nicole : was he really killed by a junkie ? rafe : well , it , uh , it looks like a mugging that got out of hand . yeah . it 's funny -- yeah , he kept telling sami that he did n't want to have anything to do with his family . i always had a feeling he 'd end up dying like a dimera . nicole : why did n't he just give the guy his wallet ? and this is so crazy . rafe : yeah . yep . seems crazy to me , too . sami : you 're blackmailing me ? chad : i 'm just trying to do what 's best for everybody in this situation . kate : if , by everybody , you 're including him , you 're making a big mistake . chad : ca n't keep him waiting . sorry father , something came up , i had to deal with it . stefano : well , i would imagine it 's a bit complicated there at the moment . chad : right . stefano : how are my grandchildren ? chad : johnny and sydney are handling themselves like true dimeras . stefano : well , perhaps you could arrange one of those , um , you know , video talks between the children and me . chad : i 'll see what i can do . but , in the meantime , something is going on with sami and i think you should know about it . clyde : well , you can keep telling yourself that you had nothing to do with your mama 's accident if that makes you feel better . jordan : i did n't . i could n't have . clyde : but i 'd like to know what you 've been telling ben all these years . anything ? does he know his mama was in the passenger seat , dead , while you were behind the wheel with a seatbelt on ? not even a scratch on ya . did you tell him that ? jordan : it was an accident . i loved mom , i would never , ever -- clyde : you would n't kill her ? huh ? then how come you were so hysterical when i found ya ? hollerin ' that you did just that . jordan : i do n't -- i do n't remember that . i do n't remember anything . clyde : no , sweetheart , i 'm sure you did n't mean for it to happen , but all the same , are n't you lucky that i 'm the one who found ya ? that i 'm the one who came up with the story and fixed things ? that i 'm not so sure that sheriff tatum would 've looked the other way , especially since you were too young to drive at the time . jordan : that day -- that day , she -- she begged me to drive that day . clyde : yeah , i know . i mean , that 's what you told me . and i 've kept your secret all these years . starting to come back to you now , is n't it tammy sue ? so you know , i 'm not the bad guy here . i 've been protecting you . jordan : oh , that 's a lie . you used everything that happened to blackmail me , you bastard . you made me do thing that i would never , ever do . clyde : you listen to me , i never made you do anything that you did n't want to do . jordan : oh , that is a sick lie and you damn well know it . nicole : i ca n't stand to think of johnny and sydney in so much pain . rafe : oh , my god , i know . i know what you mean -- they 're two of the sweetest kids in the world -- then there 's allie -- her whole planet 's been turned upside down . nicole : i talked to chad . he said they 're doing as well as to be expected . rafe : you do n't buy it ?

chad : no , but i will keep you up to speed . anything else you want me to do ? stefano : well , you might want to tell katerina that i 'll be buying 300,000 shares of kane industries . chad : yes , sir . stefano : that tip that you gave katerina about the merger of the drug companies in frankfurt , should cost her a bundle . and it did n't do the company any good , either . but , it 's not enough to cause serious damage , all right ? this deal should put another nail in her coffin . chad : i 'll take care of it . good bye , father . sami : you , god , you are such a dimera , you son of a bitch . jj : wait a minute , you talked to paige last night ?

i thought the two of you were like brangelina or something . jj : we 're fine . rory : got ta tell ya , man , i 'm not so sure that she thinks that . ' sides , looks like something 's bugging you too . better be careful , or little paige might just move on , man . marybeth : want to know why things are so different with jj since that night , because maybe he did do something with jill . and maybe he 's backing off with you because he 's still doing it . or -- or maybe there 's somebody else . paige : calm down . marybeth : it drives me nuts that you ca n't see what 's right in front of you . paige : i said jj 's upset about something . that does n't mean he 's sneaking around behind my back .. marybeth : well , maybe it means that , you know , he is a nice guy after all and he 's guilty . maybe that 's why he wo n't sleep with you ? paige : shh ! marybeth : well , it has to be that or something -- or maybe -- paige : maybe what ? marybeth : maybe he got an std and is smart enough to know that he ca n't give it to you . paige : okay , that 's it . we 're done . marybeth : why are you taking this out on me ? i 'm not the one who 's driving you up the wall , paige , jj is . jill : so you were a working girl back in the day . big deal . you already told me the whole story . eve : yeah , obviously you were n't paying attention , otherwise you would 've heard me say that i got smart and got out of it . which is exactly what you should 've done instead of biting the hand that helped ya . jill : we helped each other out , honey . your daughter got pictures of that kid jj when he was all over me . eve : yeah . but you used drugs to make that happen , and i never agreed to that . jill : what do you care ? eve : oh , well you should care , honey . yeah , you should , because if you say one word to paige or anybody else , that i hired you , i 'll say `` yeah , i hired her to prove that jj was a horny , irresponsible kid . `` but i 'll also say that `` i was shocked beyond belief that she used drugs on him . `` jill : and what 's gon na happen to your relationship with your , little girl ? eve : well , it will probably suffer . but she will come to know that i was just looking out for her because i love her . but you , on the other hand , you 're gon na go to jail , jill . yeah , 'cause the last time i checked , drugging an unsuspecting boy was a felony , i think . but you know what , i 'm not real sure , so i 'm gon na call my good friend abe carver , he is the commander of the police here in salem . jill : you 're bluffing . eve : really ? could i speak commander carver , please ? yes . eve donovan larson . they say his magic erasers tackle so many messes , nicole : chad said the same thing . rafe : about going to see johnny and sydney ? nicole : uh - huh . rafe : so why do n't you ? sami ? nicole : she does n't want me anywhere near her kids , especially sydney . rafe : even now ? even though she knows you might be able to make them feel better ? nicole : you think she knows that ? rafe : when you were going out with ej , and you were taking time with those kids , she knows how well you were taking care of them . nicole : really ? rafe : yes . really . nicole : all right , if you think it 'll do some good , i will consider going over to the dimera house . rafe : you should . do it . how 's everything else going with you these days ? not good , huh ? jj : all you need to know about paige and me is that i love her , man . rory : you use the `` l `` word , man ? well then you better go talk to her before some other dude does to you what you did to me . jj : he 's right . daniel 's right . i got ta tell her everything .

why ? valerie : i have no idea , but he 's at his desk reading it . chad : oh . oh , well , he 's just reading it , you know , trying to catch up with everything . he did just get his job back . you know , i kind of thought you were trying to tell me that he was working on it , trying to take it away from me . valerie : but that 's exactly what i 'm trying to say , chad . danmu is a high- profile project , and if it makes the kind of money we expect it to , crane industries ' stock will go sky high . chad : yeah , that 's what julian told me when he gave me the project to work on . valerie : and you do n't think fox would rather get the credit than let you have it ? chad : yeah , but i did all the work . valerie : exactly . the cranes are very nasty when it comes to this company , and fox wants to be c.e.o . someday . chad : so you really think fox would try to steal the project away from me ? valerie : i think fox would do anything to get ahead , including stepping all over you to get there . fox : what are you two talking about ? beth : who is that mrs. wheeler ? and what does she have to do with the word `` mother `` ?

he 's building goodwill with all the employees so that he can call in favors , get information . chad : or maybe he 's just being nice because it 's christmas . valerie : chad , wake up . fox is ruthless and he 'll stop at nothing to get what he wants . chad : look , valerie , i appreciate your concern , really . and i have to admit there has been some tension between me and fox lately . valerie : because of whitney ? chad : yeah . i thought he moved in on her way too soon after we found out we were half brother and sister . he took advantage of her when she was vulnerable , and i 'm trying to deal with that . now , we 're both julian 's sons and he made it very clear that he wants us to get along , and fox knows that if he does not stay on the straight and narrow , julian will throw him out of crane industries again . valerie : i still would n't trust him . those people out there getting those presents -- they do n't even realize fox is using them . and if you 're not careful , he 'll use them to destroy you . kay : jessica ?

well , i 'll see you later . i 'm meeting with chad about the danmu project . fox : oh , well , actually i was just reading that file . julian : yes ? what do you think ? fox : well , you know , i think if you let chad run with it , it 'll be a total and complete failure . sam : all right , these are all the pictures of the people who were at the party the night alistair was poisoned . luis : mm - hmm . well , i 've been thinking that the same person who went after julian might be the person who went after alistair . sam : you know , i had that thought , as well . you know , maybe all the cranes are being targeted . remember , someone tried to kill julian . luis : oh , yeah . i could think of one person who 'd like to go after julian about now . sam : well , at least she wo n't cause your family any more problems . you know , maybe julian has put a stop to her manipulations . luis : hmm . right . but you know , people like rebecca always like to cause other people grief . rebecca 's voice : maybe that 's how i can get rid of eve -- frame her for trying to kill alistair . but how ? theresa : hi , yes , i am calling to get the results of the d.n.a . test that was done on my baby . gwen : hi , yes , this is gwen winthrop . i was wondering if you have the d.n.a . test results that you did on my daughter . pilar : theresa ?

gwen : no , not yet . i ca n't believe this is happening , and it 's all theresa 's fault . you know , i could kill her for this . pilar : gwen ? you and your mother drove my theresa to do what she did . you took little ethan away from her . gwen : pilar , the courts declared her an unfit mother . pilar : right , thanks to your mother 's doing . kay : ok , come on , you guys . this is sheridan 's bridal shower . can you just cool it for now ? gwen : you 're right . tabitha : all this tension , all this anger . it makes watching all this christmas rubbish almost bearable . kay : yeah . well , i 'm glad somebody is happy . i 'm going to eat some food . beth : who is mrs. wheeler ? what is her connection with sheridan ? tabitha : i swear that beth is as dumb as dirt . i think it 's time i took matters into my own hands . ahem . may i have your attention , ladies ? in celebration of sheridan 's upcoming big day , i 'd like to make a little speech . sheridan : tabitha , that 's so sweet . tabitha : actually , i would like to tell you a little story about your mother , sheridan , and where she is today . katherine 's voice : oh , my god . tabitha is going to expose me as sheridan 's mother . valerie : here 's that balance sheet that you wanted . and i just saw your father talking to fox in the hallway . they both had copies of the danmu file . chad : they did ? well , you know , they have every right to have the project file . valerie : the file for your project . chad : look , valerie , stop trying to cause trouble , ok ? i ca n't always be worried that fox is trying to outdo me . julian : yeah , fox , i know how difficult it 's been for you finding out that chad was your brother and my hiring him to work here , but do n't try to undermine him just because you 're jealous . fox : oh , well , come on , i 'm not jealous . i 'm actually -- i 'm concerned about crane industries . to tell you the truth , i 'm concerned about chad falling on his face his very first time out . julian : how altruistic . fox : well , not at all . i think we both understand how important it is for crane industries that this project succeeds . and i 'm sure if we compared notes on this file , we 'd -- we 'd probably come up with the same problems -- and probably the same solutions to fix that problem . julian : go on . fox : yeah , um , i do n't think chad has the business expertise to handle a project of this magnitude . now , i know you want him to do well , and that 's why i think it 's a big mistake if you put him in charge . dad , he 's going to fall on his face before he even gets his feet wet . now , this project needs someone heading it that -- that has a clear vision , someone who can see it clear to the end . julian : and who would that be ? fox : well , that would be me , of course . tabitha : sheridan , dear , i 'm an ol -- mature woman with a baby daughter , and i do n't have very much money . so in lieu of a gift , i want to tell you a story about your mother . sheridan : you knew my mother ? tabitha : oh , yes , yes , i knew her . and on this particular day , i remember walking past sty . margaret mary 's church and there was a wedding in progress . people were gathered around the bride and groom throwing birdseed , and -- and your mother came by pushing you in your pram . and i remarked on what a beautiful baby you were . and we started talking . and she told me that you were the light of her life . katherine 's voice : i do n't remember this at all . tabitha : and i remember your mother told me how much she looked forward to the day when she would watch you walking down the aisle . and i 'm sure that she was watching from heaven the day that you married antonio . but i -- i think this wedding is going to be different . i -- i do n't think she 's going to be watching from heaven . i have this strange feeling that she will actually be there . luis : well , maybe we should rethink the idea that julian 's attempted murder is connected to alistair 's . sam : it could be someone not on this board . you know , the cranes have enemies all over the world . luis : yeah , but the thing is alistair said he thought someone in the room was trying to kill him before he collapsed . sam : so that definitely narrows the field . luis : you know , it 's too bad he never got a chance to say who it was . sam : well , i 'm convinced somebody on this board tried to kill alistair . maybe if we find that person , maybe we 'll get lucky and find the person who tried to kill julian . fox : now , i know you 're too smart to ignore the objective , which is the bottom line , but i know you want to be supportive of chad . julian : yes , i do . perhaps i 'll help him with the project . fox : well , i mean , there 's an idea if you can spare the time away from the lovely dr. eve . julian : look , i know what you 're doing , fox . i was in your position once -- young and ambitious . but do n't try to climb up the ladder at your brother 's expense . fox : i 'm not trying to push him out , dad . he 'll always have a place here . he can be vice president for all i care . but i want keys to the building . i 'm capable of running this place , and that 's exactly what i want . valerie : fox and mr .. crane are still talking . chad : valerie , do n't worry about it . valerie : and they 're coming this way . [ knock on door ] julian : oh . chad : julian , fox . what 's up ? julian : i would like to talk to you about the -- the danmu project . sheridan : tabitha , what are you talking about ? my mother is dead . how could she be at my wedding ? tabitha : well , you know , sheridan , our little town is famous for its miracles , and maybe the next miracle we see will be your mother at your wedding . sheridan : oh . ok . well , thank you . that was a -- a nice story . katherine 's voice : thank goodness she did n't tell sheridan i 'm her mother . but i am more convinced than ever that tabitha knows . tabitha : well , if beth does n't get it after that little speech , she truly is dumb as a post , huh ? theresa : this is wonderful news , whitney . i could n't be happier . congratulations . whitney : thank you . theresa : oh , my gosh . rebecca : well , hello , eve . how are you ? eve : why do you care ? rebecca : well , i 'm just trying to be civil . and look at you . hmm , hmm . my , my , my . did you run into the sultan of brunei or did my handsome husband buy you all these beautiful baubles ? eve : julian took me shopping . on rodeo drive , if you must know . do you like them ? rebecca : oh ! my goodness , does a polar bear like ice ? i love them . they are fabulous . and you -- you look fabulous . eve : now , what do you really want , rebecca ? rebecca : oh , come on , now , eve . ca n't i be nice without you being suspicious ? eve : no . rebecca : really , i 'm just trying to be adult about this . you know , bury the hatchet . let bygones be bygones . theresa : mama , whitney is pregnant . she and fox are going to have a baby . is n't this wonderful , mama ? pilar : yes , it 's nice . theresa : ok . that 's it . i 've had it with that little brat . excuse me . paloma : what are you doing ? theresa : i 'm going to stop you from being a little bitch ! beth : mother ? mrs. wallace : yeah ? beth : mother , do you remember when katherine crane died ? mrs. wallace : oh , yeah . they had a private burial . oh , but a memorial service fit for a queen ! beth : was n't it about the same time that martin fitzgerald disappeared ? mrs. wallace : oh ! oh , yeah . when he disappeared , boy , it was the talk of the town . but then , you see , all that talk died down when katherine crane croaked . why are you asking so many questions about this ? beth : just wondering . alistair said the word `` mother . `` sheridan , mrs. wheeler , katherine crane -- martin fitzgerald . tabitha : that 's it , bethie . keep working those tiny little grey cells . beth : oh , my god . mrs. wheeler is katherine crane ! she 's sheridan 's mother . tabitha : yes ! luis : i can understand why my father hated alistair . but why his mistress ? huh ? this ellie wheeler , or whatever the hell her name is , why would she want to kill him ? sam : luis , why do n't we start on this first thing tomorrow ? look , your bride- to - be is having a party at my house . let 's go join in the celebration . ah , and -- this is for you . luis : what 's this ? sam : it 's your first pay check . luis : well , i have n't even started work yet , sam . sam : look at the check , luis . luis : what , are you kidding me ? what -- what 's this ? sam : julian arranged for you to get retroactive pay for all the time that you 've been on suspension . luis : are you serious ? what -- i ca n't take this . this is crane blood money , sam . sam : luis , it 's a lot of money . besides , you have a honeymoon to think about . and you would have earned every penny of that money if rebecca had n't had you put on suspension . luis : you 're right . i just ca n't believe that julian is doing this . sam : maybe with julian in charge of crane industries now , things will change . hell , maybe the cranes will be more about helping people than going after the almighty buck . chad : what about the danmu project ? julian : you 've done good work on -- great work , in fact . but i 've decided i -- i need you on some other projects . like the record label , for one . if you remember , that 's when you were originally brought on , was to head up the label . chad : yeah , i remember . and i 'm looking forward to getting it going . but this is a project i think i can handle . julian : well , i know , but actually , fox is going to take over the danmu project . fox : listen , chad , i think my father just wants your time here to be more flexible . julian : right . fox : but -- but i am going to need your help on it , so i 'll tell you what , i 'll give you a call , and i 'll let you know what i need from you . julian : chad , i -- i hope you understand . in business , it 's -- well , it 's always about the bottom line . you have a great talent in many areas . i do n't want you bogged down and spending all your time on one project . chad : yeah . yeah , i understand . ok . chad : damn it . that did not just happen . valerie : do n't let them see you lose your cool , chad . i told you it was coming . chad : yeah , well , it stinks . look , i ca n't play these games . i wo n't . valerie : well , that 's why you have me . i 'll help you navigate the minefield . you and i can rise to the top together , hand in hand . eve : i do n't think i 'm ready to bury the hatchet just yet , rebecca , but you have a good time . rebecca : oh , i will , dr. dirtbag . i 'm going to figure out a way to get rid of you for good -- somehow . eve : baby , are you ok ?

chad : yeah , but i did all the work . valerie : exactly . the cranes are very nasty when it comes to this company , and fox wants to be c.e.o . someday . chad : so you really think fox would try to steal the project away from me ?

chad : yeah . i thought he moved in on her way too soon after we found out we were half brother and sister . he took advantage of her when she was vulnerable , and i 'm trying to deal with that . now , we 're both julian 's sons and he made it very clear that he wants us to get along , and fox knows that if he does not stay on the straight and narrow , julian will throw him out of crane industries again . valerie : i still would n't trust him . those people out there getting those presents -- they do n't even realize fox is using them . and if you 're not careful , he 'll use them to destroy you . kay : jessica ?

well , you know , they have every right to have the project file . valerie : the file for your project . chad : look , valerie , stop trying to cause trouble , ok ? i ca n't always be worried that fox is trying to outdo me . julian : yeah , fox , i know how difficult it 's been for you finding out that chad was your brother and my hiring him to work here , but do n't try to undermine him just because you 're jealous . fox : oh , well , come on , i 'm not jealous . i 'm actually -- i 'm concerned about crane industries . to tell you the truth , i 'm concerned about chad falling on his face his very first time out . julian : how altruistic . fox : well , not at all . i think we both understand how important it is for crane industries that this project succeeds . and i 'm sure if we compared notes on this file , we 'd -- we 'd probably come up with the same problems -- and probably the same solutions to fix that problem . julian : go on . fox : yeah , um , i do n't think chad has the business expertise to handle a project of this magnitude . now , i know you want him to do well , and that 's why i think it 's a big mistake if you put him in charge . dad , he 's going to fall on his face before he even gets his feet wet . now , this project needs someone heading it that -- that has a clear vision , someone who can see it clear to the end . julian : and who would that be ? fox : well , that would be me , of course . tabitha : sheridan , dear , i 'm an ol -- mature woman with a baby daughter , and i do n't have very much money . so in lieu of a gift , i want to tell you a story about your mother . sheridan : you knew my mother ? tabitha : oh , yes , yes , i knew her . and on this particular day , i remember walking past sty . margaret mary 's church and there was a wedding in progress . people were gathered around the bride and groom throwing birdseed , and -- and your mother came by pushing you in your pram . and i remarked on what a beautiful baby you were . and we started talking . and she told me that you were the light of her life . katherine 's voice : i do n't remember this at all . tabitha : and i remember your mother told me how much she looked forward to the day when she would watch you walking down the aisle . and i 'm sure that she was watching from heaven the day that you married antonio . but i -- i think this wedding is going to be different . i -- i do n't think she 's going to be watching from heaven . i have this strange feeling that she will actually be there . luis : well , maybe we should rethink the idea that julian 's attempted murder is connected to alistair 's . sam : it could be someone not on this board . you know , the cranes have enemies all over the world . luis : yeah , but the thing is alistair said he thought someone in the room was trying to kill him before he collapsed . sam : so that definitely narrows the field . luis : you know , it 's too bad he never got a chance to say who it was . sam : well , i 'm convinced somebody on this board tried to kill alistair . maybe if we find that person , maybe we 'll get lucky and find the person who tried to kill julian . fox : now , i know you 're too smart to ignore the objective , which is the bottom line , but i know you want to be supportive of chad . julian : yes , i do . perhaps i 'll help him with the project . fox : well , i mean , there 's an idea if you can spare the time away from the lovely dr. eve . julian : look , i know what you 're doing , fox . i was in your position once -- young and ambitious . but do n't try to climb up the ladder at your brother 's expense . fox : i 'm not trying to push him out , dad . he 'll always have a place here . he can be vice president for all i care . but i want keys to the building . i 'm capable of running this place , and that 's exactly what i want . valerie : fox and mr .. crane are still talking . chad : valerie , do n't worry about it . valerie : and they 're coming this way . [ knock on door ] julian : oh . chad : julian , fox . what 's up ? julian : i would like to talk to you about the -- the danmu project . sheridan : tabitha , what are you talking about ? my mother is dead . how could she be at my wedding ? tabitha : well , you know , sheridan , our little town is famous for its miracles , and maybe the next miracle we see will be your mother at your wedding . sheridan : oh . ok . well , thank you . that was a -- a nice story . katherine 's voice : thank goodness she did n't tell sheridan i 'm her mother . but i am more convinced than ever that tabitha knows . tabitha : well , if beth does n't get it after that little speech , she truly is dumb as a post , huh ?

aiden : all right , i 'm not following you . well , the power company temporarily diverted its electricity to us , so that 's gon na mean an overload to our systems . aiden : all right , so if we 're gon na do this press conference , we have to do it as soon as possible -- is that what you 're saying ? if you want a press conference , soon is better . aiden : all right . officer , i need to get to the , uh , box . yeah , yeah , sure . thank you . pardon me . [ edgy music ] look , i want to talk to you two because i keep going back to this stefano dimera case . there 's a few things in there that just do n't set right with me . i was hoping that you two could ... help clarify a few things . rafe : wow . hope : we went over every detail of stefano 's case at least a hundred times . rafe : the facts are all right there . they point to andré dimera being the murderer . aiden : except he was n't . rafe : no . he 's still our guy . he just paid someone else to talk so he could be set free . aiden : hmm . so you ... still believe he 's guilty ? hope : yeah . yes . rafe : what the hell do you expect us to say ? aiden : the truth . a little cooperation . see , as d.a .... i can make this case disappear forever . or i can re - open it ... take another look - see . and dig ... a little deeper . see , if i decide to re - open this case , i know ... there 's a few things in there that are gon na trouble me . the murder weapon , for instance . do you know for certain , hope , that andré stole bo 's gun ? hope : not provable . but it was found in his possession . rafe : he stole it from her house so he could set her up for murder . aiden : yeah , see , that 's not provable either , though . that 's just a theory ... right ? that andré wanted to kill his father ... and have you take the fall for the murder ? rafe : do you have a point , aiden ? because we have three psychos on the loose . aiden : well , maybe you could just quickly answer this question : why would andré keep the gun ? why would he dump the body in an abandoned building ? i mean , that 's -- i look at those things , and that sounds like the work of someone who 's trying to improvise . now , we 're talking about andré dimera -- experienced criminal . does n't sound like something he would do . right ? [ phone rings ] aiden : you think ? it 's the attorney general . has some questions about the curfew -- i have to take this . i 'll , uh , be right back . [ beep ] aiden : aiden jennings . [ tense music ] hope : everything i did that night was wrong . i lost it . i snapped . i shot stefano , and i dragged you into the cover - up . rafe : no , you did not drag me into anything . and frankly , we both know that stefano goaded you into shooting him . hope : i 'm still guilty of murder . [ intense music ] rafe : i do n't question you holding a press conference , sir . in fact , i think that it is vital to do so , but ... why in such a public venue ? hope : exactly . abe : absolutely not . hope : it would be much better to do it from here . abe : the day orpheus , clyde , and xander have me cowering is the day i 'm no longer fit for office . frankly , i ... i resent your challenging my authority . we would n't even need a press conference if you and the rest of the salem pd had done their job and brought these bastards in ! steve : here 's some decaf . kayla : decaf ? seriously ? steve : yeah , seriously . last thing you need is caffeine racing through your system . kayla : that is exactly what i need . steve : kayla ... we 've been out there all day looking for joe and claire , and you have n't even recovered from surgery yet . what you really need to do is lie down and try to get some sleep . or just rest . kayla : sleep ? rest ? are you kidding me ? our son and our niece are out there somewhere -- god knows where -- being terrorized by some lunatics . can you sleep ? can you rest ? steve : no . kayla : no . steve : but i have n't been through what you have . kayla : to hell with what i 've been through . they have been kidnapped , and i 'm not gon na rest until they 're home safe and sound . john : cell 's not working ? marlena : uh , no , no , uh ... the power came back , so i ... i was able to charge it before . you know , i have n't been able to reach shawn and belle . they must be beside themself knowing what 's going on here right now . john : we 're gon na get through this , doc . marlena : you know what ? i feel like it 's my fault . if i just ... if i had n't taken claire out of the house -- john : listen to me . claire is smart as a whip ... and she is strong just like you are . she 's gon na find a way to outsmart these bastards -- i know she will . and then she 's gon na lead us right to her and joey . [ thud , clatter ] joey : [ whispers ] hey , we need a plan -- we better get the hell outta here ! belle : [ whispers ] yeah , i have one ! if i can just get my hands free . joey : how can you do anything when they never take damned eyes off us ? belle : shh ! just chill out , okay ? i know exactly what i 'm doing . xander : i know you wan na use these ... little brats as human shields to get us out of town , but it could backfire on us too . slow us down , get us caught ... or worse . orpheus : xander , when i ask for your opinion , you 'll know i 've completely lost my mind . we 're not adopting them . they are of value to us , and when they cease to be , we 'll deal with them . belle : you wo n't get away with this , you know . my grandfather will stop at nothing to have you back behind bars ! orpheus : is that so ? i ca n't tell you how much i look forward to giving him the opportunity to do just that . [ dramatic music ] steve : sweetness . listen . i feel the same way you do . but i am worried about you . you just had surgery . i 'm worried about you getting so worked up . kayla : no ! i 'm -- i 'm -- i 'm trying to stay calm . i 'm ... i wan na be strong , and i wan na be here for joey when he comes back . and i 'm gon na -- i 'm gon na take him in my arms and i 'm ... i 'm gon na hold hi -- i ... i just wan na hold him in my arms . that 's all i want . steve : me too . kayla : we just need ... we just need one clue , one ... one lead ... and then we 'll find him . steve : [ whispers ] that 's right . kayla : yeah . steve : let 's hold on to that . kayla : yeah . [ sobs ] ciara : i keep thinking that i 'm gon na wake up from this horrible nightmare ... but it 's not a nightmare , is it ? it 's actually happening . those creeps have claire and joey . theo : i mean , i just hope to god they 're okay . i do n't know what i 'd do if anything happened to her . or joey . ciara : me neither . theo : what ? ciara : nothing . theo : well , you 're looking at me funny . ciara : well , it 's ... it 's just something really lame to even be thinking of right now . theo : right , well ... just say it . ciara : well ... i can see how worried you are . especially about claire . and i know that it 's because you have a thing for her . and i know that waiting and not knowing makes it harder on you . you really do care about claire , do n't you ? rafe : well , with all due respect , sir ... you 're under a lot of stress . so are we . but i think that it is rather unfair of you to accuse us of incompetence when our men are working tirelessly around the clock to bring these fugitives in . abe : well , then they 're not working hard enough . this city is slipping into anarchy . the citizens are looting , brandishing firearms . if we do n't get this under control , this is not going to end well ! for anyone ! especially the hostages ! [ somber music ] abe : [ stammers ] i 'm sorry , i - i , uh ... that was ... terribly insensitive . hope : it 's okay . abe : no , no , no , it 's not . look ... at the risk of losing one of my best detectives , i would understand if you want to step back from this investigation and be with your family . hope : no . absolutely not . claire is my family . i 'll get in touch with the bureau ... report back to you as soon as i have something . abe : good . good . thank you . rafe : thank you , sir . well ... i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry , he 's , uh ... he 's under a lot of pressure , you know ? hope : claire could be going through god knows what right now and ... and joey . rafe : we 'll find 'em . look at me . come on . we ... are going to find them . [ somber music ] marlena : i wish i had the same confidence in claire that you do . look , i know she 's smart . and i know she 's tough . but -- but she 's also so cavalier about this whole thing . she was barely listening when you had the family talk . john : you think that did n't register with me ? that 's why i reviewed everything with her again . [ dramatic music ] john : hey , punkin ' did you hear anything i was talking about earlier ? claire : say what ? john : ah . there 's my answer . claire : oh , hey , granddad , i just put these ear buds in . of course i was listening . john : [ laughs ] i know you were . so , hey , just for the heck of it ... if , um , if something happens and you find yourself in danger , what 's your game plan ? punkin ' ... i did n't give you this necklace to add to your bling collection , sweetheart . i gave you this necklace because i love you so much and i want you always protected . claire : yeah , i love you too . john : i know you do . so listen to me very carefully . if you think for one moment that your life is in danger , you just press this little charmy thing on your necklace here , okay ? and what it 's gon na do is activate a transponder . it 's gon na go right to my cell phone with your exact location . i will be right there ! do you understand ? claire : i got it . marlena : i 'm glad you spoke to her -- i 'm glad she knows exactly what to do . i just hope she gets a chance to use the transponder . john : what we have to do is alert steve and kayla about that necklace . more than likely , orpheus will be holding claire with joey , so with any luck , we 're gon na be able to rescue both of them and bring 'em home together . belle : hey , my grandfather 's so much smarter than you . you wo n't even see him coming . orpheus : well , he certainly cares a great deal about you . which means he 'll do anything to get you back , including play right into my hand . so you see ... it 's a win - win for me . you and little joey here are our `` get out of town free `` cards . joey : yeah , if you get out of town . you really think our parents and the cops are just gon na let you walk away ? not after you killed my dad . belle : hey . oh , my god , joey . no , you do n't even know . oh , my god , no , he is n't dead ! your father is not dead ! yeah , he just outsmarted him with a kevlar vest , pulled one over on this jerk , just like my grandpa john will . orpheus : i 'll give you this , kid ... your old man is resourceful . but his resources are about to run out . joey : but he 's alive . he 's alive , which means you 're going down ! orpheus : oh , spare me the melodrama , kid . [ joey laughs ] orpheus : salem is in a state of chaos because of me and my crew . when we 're ready to make our move ... we will strike . and then you , well ... most of you , anyway , can get back to your boring , mundane lives . xander : but only after they dish out the ransom money for you punks . orpheus : you talk too much . i 'm going out to do a few things in preparation for the ... press conference this afternoon . keep an eye on them . xander : why do i have to babysit ? orpheus : because i asked you to . xander : what about clyde ? where 's he disappeared to ? orpheus : clyde has his own errand to attend to . [ suspenseful music ] clyde : [ chuckles ] yeah . [ phone rings ] [ ringing ] clyde : hey , jeremiah . i just picked up what you left for me ... and is it ever a beauty . theo : thanks . ciara : so , uh , you never answered my question . maybe i should n't have asked . i mean , under these circumstances , it is ... kind of trivial , right ? theo : yeah , i guess . ciara : but , hey , it 's a distraction . i mean , we know that joey and claire are gon na be fine , so ... theo : yeah . yeah , we -- we do know that . and , i mean , sure , i have a thing with claire , but right now i 'm worried about both of them , her and joey . i just ca n't imagine how scared they must be . ciara : i can , unfortunately . i know how terrifying it is . aiden : uh , hey . i heard about the , uh , the raid on the docks . any intel on the fugitives ? hope : a group of vigilantes decided to go after them . there was gunfire , but no sign of the fugitives . aiden : yeah . hey , uh , sorry about claire and joey . i 'm sure you 're worried sick . hope : yeah . i am . excuse me . aiden : hope , before you go , there 's something i - i wan na talk to you about . hope : aiden , please , not now . aiden : yes , hope . now . i really must insist . steve : you are the man , john . always one step ahead . kayla : i do n't understand . if claire has a device , and she knows how to use it , what 's the hold - up ? why has n't she activated it yet ? marlena : well , maybe she has n't had a chance to use it yet . or maybe orpheus has discovered that she has it . steve : if it looks like a necklace , why would he suspect anything ? john : he would n't . i 'm sure that claire will find a way to activate the transponders . kayla : we should get going . abe is gon na give his press conference at the square , and we should present a united front . marlena : yeah . john : hey , partner . steve : yeah . john : we ca n't underestimate orpheus . if he feels the walls closing in , he 's gon na assert his power , so ... we 're gon na need to be ready to roll if those bastards make a move . steve : i 'm ready . xander : you sure this plan of yours is gon na work ? orpheus : if i was n't sure , i would n't be carrying it out , would i ? xander : just asking . orpheus : instead of asking pointless questions , why do n't you focus on your part in said plan ... and remain silent . i 'll be back shortly . [ tense music ] joey : hey . what were you trying to say before ? belle : in my necklace . joey : what necklace ? belle : oh , god ! no , no , no , no , no , no ... oh , my god ... xander : quiet ! ca n't hear myself think with you two yammering on ! [ exhales ] whining ... and complaining ... like the spoiled little brats you are . pathetic , entitled . think the world owes you a living , do n't you , sweetheart ? well ... think again . [ tense music ] clyde : oh , this is perfect . just perfect . xander : good news , my friend . so ... handling the transfer to the offshore account should n't be a problem . i do have a couple of questions , though . hello ? stavros ? you 're breaking up . hold on . [ suspenseful music ] xander : oh , what the hell 's going on here ? you try any crap like that again , and i 'll shut you up permanently . and that goes for you too . orpheus : kiddies misbehaving ? xander : i say we throw them in a sack and drown them like kittens . orpheus : well , fortunately , you are not in charge . they 're worth more to us alive than dead . xander : so how 's all this gon na work ? orpheus : you 'll see . [ tense music ] hope : you insist ? aiden : i would just like for us to go somewhere a little more private so we can talk -- hope : aiden , if you have n't noticed , there 's a crisis of major proportion going on in salem . and as district attorney , i 'm sure there 's something far more important you could be doing other than talking to me right now . [ dramatic notes ] aiden : hope ... i 'm just asking for a little of your time so you and i can talk . hope : i said no . i think you should -- rafe : what 's going on ? what ? hope : he wants to talk . like i said , this is n't a good time . [ aiden clears throat ] rafe : see ... i - i thought that we made ourselves clear . did we not ? hope does n't want to have anything to do with you anymore . now , what 's it gon na take for you to get that through your thick skull ? aiden : [ laughs ] i do n't know who you think you 're talking to . but what i need to talk to her about is between she and i , okay ? it 's personal . rafe : oh , is it personal ? i 'll tell you what . i 'm gon na make it personal between me and you if you do n't back the hell off . [ phone rings ] clyde : i 'm about ready to roll on this end , brother . orpheus : good . remember ... do n't make a move until you hear from me . i wan na make sure that the good people of salem get my message , most especially ... my enemies . clyde : yeah , you and me both . i think my message is gon na be a little bit more direct . by the way , my man jeremiah says the raid on the dock was courtesy of the kiriakis camp . orpheus : the old man seems to be losing his touch . from all the gunfire , one would think that kiriakis and his men were convinced they had us cornered ... when , in fact , they were n't even close . huh . well , maybe he 's not in charge any longer . clyde : well , victor was definitely off his game during my time in salem . but i hear that his younger brother deimos has allied with him and ... together they could be a force to be reckoned with . orpheus : [ laughs ] they 'll be dead , you fool . and we 'll be long gone ... before they have a chance to do anything to us . houston : mission allergy escape . rafe : you wan na talk about what was going on between you and aiden ? he was pretty adamant . he needed to talk to you about something . hope : i have no idea . i mean ... no . i have no idea what he wanted to tell me . rafe : all right . hope : i - i do n't get it . he 's relentless . unless , of course , he 's thinking that maybe because i bandaged his hand the other night at the pub , maybe he thinks there 's still something between us ? rafe : [ chuckles ] yeah ... [ mutters ] . you know what i think ? i think that he 's the type of guy who 's gon na take anything , any moment , big or small , and put it under a microscope and try and find something that he can hold on to . hope : yeah . yeah , maybe you 're right . rafe : ohh ... i just ca n't stand that he came back . now you got ta deal with that on top of everything else . hope : thank god i have you , though . rafe : [ softly ] yeah . we should get going . hope . yeah . to be continued ? rafe : oh , yeah . abe : marlena , kayla , look , i 've been at police headquarters all morning , and we still do n't have a lead on where joey and claire might be . i - i 'm sorry . i wish i had better ... better news . the swat team 's arrived . look , i will check in later . steve : what 's taking claire so long to activate that necklace ? john : she 'll find a way . i know my ... granddaughter . what the hell ? steve : what 's wrong ? john : no signal . hell , i do n't even have any bars . marlena : you ca n't get through ? john : i had a signal earlier . i do n't have anything now . damn it . marlena : what if , uh , what if claire 's trying to reach us ? what if she 's tried to get through and she ca n't ? what if she 's made the responder work , but she ca n't reach us ? john : whoa , doc , let 's just hope that 's not the case , okay ? [ suspenseful music ] orpheus : showtime . go and stand behind our guests . and when i give you the cue , remove the gag from claire 's mouth . xander : why ? you wan na let her cry for her grandparents ? orpheus : [ exhales ] use your head , man . if we 're gon na get them to give us a ransom , they 're going to need to hear from one of the kids . it might as well be the one from the family with the most money . xander : what if they give away our location ? orpheus : how on earth would they do that ? [ intense music ] clyde : son of a bitch . he 's the worst of them all . we have speed , mr. mayor . five , four , three , two . abe : good afternoon . i 'm mayor abe carver . these past few days have been harrowing and challenging for the people of salem . three convicted felons have conducted a reign of terror that has sparked panic and , in some cases , violence . xander : `` salem under siege . `` abe : despite the rolling ... xander : i like the sound of that . orpheus : stay tuned , my friend . the best is yet to come . abe : in an effort to inform the public that the salem pd , along with the fbi and the mayor 's office , is doing everything in their power to apprehend these fugitives and to safely free the hostages . now , that having been said , i must address the city - wide looting , vandalism , and vigilante activity . this kind of behavior will not be condoned and tolerated . and anyone engaging in this activity will be arrested and charged ... to the fullest extent of the law . now is not the time to forget who we are as citizens of salem . this is our home . and despite what 's going on , now is the time to remember the pride we all have in our city . [ dramatic flourish ] abe : for your own safety , think before you act . and please adhere to the curfew . and remember , in a situation like this , taking matters into your own hands is not the answer . i know you 've all seen these escaped prisoners on the news . if you see any of these men , please do not ... orpheus : i 've had enough of this wind bag . abe : call 911 - - orpheus : sorry to interrupt your speech , mayor carver , good as it is , but it occurred to me that you and your fellow salemites might like to see us in the flesh . mug shots can be so unflattering , do n't you think ? i am orpheus , part of the trio of terror that has , as your own broadcast suggests , salem under siege . and you 're right , mr. mayor , the good people of salem should be afraid ... very afraid . because we 're not going to stop until we get exactly what we want . now , if you 'll permit me ... what is happening to these two could just as easily be happening to you ... if we do n't get what we want . rafe : find out where the signal is coming from ... now ! [ intense music ] belle : hey , grandma , granddad , please help us ! marlena : oh , dear god . she 's not wearing the necklace . [ dramatic musical buildup ] [ tense music ] rafe : i do n't care how compromised the base station is . find out where that signal is coming from now , damn it ! orpheus : now , i realize christmas is still a few months away ... but i must confess , i 've never been a patient man . so , with the help of my associates , i 've managed to put together what we might call a wish list . $ 20 million will be transferred into an untraceable offshore account of our choosing . we will , of course , be providing you with the routing and the account numbers . when we have received confirmation of the transfer and we are safely out of the country ... then ... and only then will we reveal the whereabouts of the hostages . but i warn you ... if our demands are not met , chaos and terror will continue to spread across salem like a plague . abe : how the hell do you follow that ? aiden : people need reassurance more than ever . abe : yeah . hope : nothing yet ? rafe : no . i 'm still hoping they 're gon na be able to trace the signal . john : what the hell happened to her necklace ? marlena : i pray to god they did n't find it . orpheus : well , that could n't have gone any better . i hope clyde was able to enjoy the festivities . xander : [ exhales ] yiamas ! [ orpheus chuckles ] belle : [ whispers ] hey , joey . press my necklace . just do it ! john : [ exhales ] still no bars . abe : now ... you 've seen firsthand ... the lengths to which these felons will go to to achieve their criminal ends . that is why ... it is crucial that now , more than ever , we , as a community , act not out of fear ... not to exacerbate what is already a precarious and dangerous situation . we 've faced challenges before , and we have risen to them , and we will do it again . aiden : i know , hope . abe : but we need your cooperation . aiden : i know you killed stefano dimera . [ dramatic musical flourish ] hope : aah ! he 's gon na keep digging . he 's gon na find out that i killed stefano . [ suspenseful music ] i could lose you . rafe : hey , take it easy . know what he 's got ? nothing . nothing ! hope : everything i did that night was wrong ! i lost it . i snapped ! i shot stefano , and i dragged you into the cover - up . rafe : no , you did not drag me into anything . and frankly , we both know that stefano goaded you into shooting him . hope : i 'm still guilty of murder . and framing andré -- that was just one more crime . rafe : well , you know what ? you made the world a better place -- stop it , okay ? do n't . and andré -- he got what he deserved . i mean , he was able to wiggle out of it . but do n't do this , okay ? do not let aiden see you like this . okay ? just do n't . we 're gon na get out of this . guaranteed . abe : only then can we bring these violent criminals to justice ... and free the hostages .

[ edgy music ] look , i want to talk to you two because i keep going back to this stefano dimera case . there 's a few things in there that just do n't set right with me . i was hoping that you two could ... help clarify a few things . rafe : wow . hope : we went over every detail of stefano 's case at least a hundred times . rafe : the facts are all right there . they point to andré dimera being the murderer . aiden : except he was n't . rafe : no . he 's still our guy . he just paid someone else to talk so he could be set free . aiden : hmm . so you ... still believe he 's guilty ? hope : yeah . yes . rafe : what the hell do you expect us to say ? aiden : the truth . a little cooperation . see , as d.a .... i can make this case disappear forever . or i can re - open it ... take another look - see . and dig ... a little deeper . see , if i decide to re - open this case , i know ... there 's a few things in there that are gon na trouble me . the murder weapon , for instance . do you know for certain , hope , that andré stole bo 's gun ? hope : not provable . but it was found in his possession . rafe : he stole it from her house so he could set her up for murder . aiden : yeah , see , that 's not provable either , though . that 's just a theory ... right ? that andré wanted to kill his father ... and have you take the fall for the murder ? rafe : do you have a point , aiden ? because we have three psychos on the loose . aiden : well , maybe you could just quickly answer this question : why would andré keep the gun ? why would he dump the body in an abandoned building ? i mean , that 's -- i look at those things , and that sounds like the work of someone who 's trying to improvise . now , we 're talking about andré dimera -- experienced criminal . does n't sound like something he would do . right ?

[ joey laughs ] orpheus : salem is in a state of chaos because of me and my crew . when we 're ready to make our move ... we will strike . and then you , well ... most of you , anyway , can get back to your boring , mundane lives . xander : but only after they dish out the ransom money for you punks . orpheus : you talk too much . i 'm going out to do a few things in preparation for the ... press conference this afternoon . keep an eye on them . xander : why do i have to babysit ? orpheus : because i asked you to . xander : what about clyde ? where 's he disappeared to ? orpheus : clyde has his own errand to attend to .

[ tense music ] joey : hey . what were you trying to say before ? belle : in my necklace . joey : what necklace ? belle : oh , god ! no , no , no , no , no , no ... oh , my god ... xander : quiet ! ca n't hear myself think with you two yammering on !

[ tense music ] hope : you insist ? aiden : i would just like for us to go somewhere a little more private so we can talk -- hope : aiden , if you have n't noticed , there 's a crisis of major proportion going on in salem . and as district attorney , i 'm sure there 's something far more important you could be doing other than talking to me right now . [ dramatic notes ] aiden : hope ... i 'm just asking for a little of your time so you and i can talk . hope : i said no . i think you should -- rafe : what 's going on ? what ? hope : he wants to talk . like i said , this is n't a good time . [ aiden clears throat ] rafe : see ... i - i thought that we made ourselves clear . did we not ? hope does n't want to have anything to do with you anymore . now , what 's it gon na take for you to get that through your thick skull ? aiden : [ laughs ] i do n't know who you think you 're talking to . but what i need to talk to her about is between she and i , okay ? it 's personal . rafe : oh , is it personal ? i 'll tell you what . i 'm gon na make it personal between me and you if you do n't back the hell off . [ phone rings ] clyde : i 'm about ready to roll on this end , brother . orpheus : good . remember ... do n't make a move until you hear from me . i wan na make sure that the good people of salem get my message , most especially ... my enemies . clyde : yeah , you and me both . i think my message is gon na be a little bit more direct . by the way , my man jeremiah says the raid on the dock was courtesy of the kiriakis camp . orpheus : the old man seems to be losing his touch . from all the gunfire , one would think that kiriakis and his men were convinced they had us cornered ... when , in fact , they were n't even close . huh . well , maybe he 's not in charge any longer . clyde : well , victor was definitely off his game during my time in salem . but i hear that his younger brother deimos has allied with him and ... together they could be a force to be reckoned with . orpheus : [ laughs ] they 'll be dead , you fool . and we 'll be long gone ... before they have a chance to do anything to us . houston : mission allergy escape . rafe : you wan na talk about what was going on between you and aiden ? he was pretty adamant . he needed to talk to you about something . hope : i have no idea . i mean ... no . i have no idea what he wanted to tell me . rafe : all right . hope : i - i do n't get it . he 's relentless . unless , of course , he 's thinking that maybe because i bandaged his hand the other night at the pub , maybe he thinks there 's still something between us ? rafe : [ chuckles ] yeah ... [ mutters ] . you know what i think ? i think that he 's the type of guy who 's gon na take anything , any moment , big or small , and put it under a microscope and try and find something that he can hold on to . hope : yeah . yeah , maybe you 're right . rafe : ohh ... i just ca n't stand that he came back . now you got ta deal with that on top of everything else . hope : thank god i have you , though . rafe : [ softly ] yeah . we should get going . hope . yeah . to be continued ? rafe : oh , yeah . abe : marlena , kayla , look , i 've been at police headquarters all morning , and we still do n't have a lead on where joey and claire might be . i - i 'm sorry . i wish i had better ... better news . the swat team 's arrived . look , i will check in later . steve : what 's taking claire so long to activate that necklace ? john : she 'll find a way . i know my ... granddaughter . what the hell ? steve : what 's wrong ? john : no signal . hell , i do n't even have any bars . marlena : you ca n't get through ? john : i had a signal earlier . i do n't have anything now . damn it . marlena : what if , uh , what if claire 's trying to reach us ? what if she 's tried to get through and she ca n't ? what if she 's made the responder work , but she ca n't reach us ? john : whoa , doc , let 's just hope that 's not the case , okay ? [ suspenseful music ] orpheus : showtime . go and stand behind our guests . and when i give you the cue , remove the gag from claire 's mouth . xander : why ? you wan na let her cry for her grandparents ? orpheus : [ exhales ] use your head , man . if we 're gon na get them to give us a ransom , they 're going to need to hear from one of the kids . it might as well be the one from the family with the most money . xander : what if they give away our location ? orpheus : how on earth would they do that ? [ intense music ] clyde : son of a bitch . he 's the worst of them all . we have speed , mr. mayor . five , four , three , two . abe : good afternoon . i 'm mayor abe carver . these past few days have been harrowing and challenging for the people of salem . three convicted felons have conducted a reign of terror that has sparked panic and , in some cases , violence . xander : `` salem under siege . `` abe : despite the rolling ... xander : i like the sound of that . orpheus : stay tuned , my friend . the best is yet to come . abe : in an effort to inform the public that the salem pd , along with the fbi and the mayor 's office , is doing everything in their power to apprehend these fugitives and to safely free the hostages . now , that having been said , i must address the city - wide looting , vandalism , and vigilante activity . this kind of behavior will not be condoned and tolerated . and anyone engaging in this activity will be arrested and charged ... to the fullest extent of the law . now is not the time to forget who we are as citizens of salem . this is our home . and despite what 's going on , now is the time to remember the pride we all have in our city . [ dramatic flourish ] abe : for your own safety , think before you act . and please adhere to the curfew . and remember , in a situation like this , taking matters into your own hands is not the answer . i know you 've all seen these escaped prisoners on the news . if you see any of these men , please do not ... orpheus : i 've had enough of this wind bag . abe : call 911 - - orpheus : sorry to interrupt your speech , mayor carver , good as it is , but it occurred to me that you and your fellow salemites might like to see us in the flesh . mug shots can be so unflattering , do n't you think ? i am orpheus , part of the trio of terror that has , as your own broadcast suggests , salem under siege . and you 're right , mr. mayor , the good people of salem should be afraid ... very afraid . because we 're not going to stop until we get exactly what we want . now , if you 'll permit me ... what is happening to these two could just as easily be happening to you ... if we do n't get what we want . rafe : find out where the signal is coming from ... now !

[ cell phone rings ] billy : [ sighs ] speaking of reminders that i do n't need ... yeah , gil . yeah , yeah , i got your messages . because i know what you 're calling for , and i 'm working on it , okay ? well , it does n't help that you 're calling every half hour . i 'll get you your money , okay ? what ? phyllis : you bet money that you do n't have ? billy : i have it . i just , you know , do n't have it with me . phyllis : okay , okay , so why is this guy gil bothering you ? billy : well , he 's not exactly known for his patience . phyllis : what are you gon na do ? jack : what are you gon na do about what ? dylan : all right . stitch : yeah . ashley : wow . it 's starting already , huh ? dylan : [ chuckles ] okay , uh , ashley , forgive me . uh , this is probably -- well , definitely -- gon na be inappropriate to say to the mother of the bride , but ... you look ... wow . ashley : oh . stitch : yeah . ashley : please do n't ever apologize for making a nice compliment . thank you . stitch : yeah , i 'm a little surprised to see you here . i figured you 'd be at the club with abby . ashley : yeah , i just wanted to check in and make sure everything 's ready , you know ? dylan : yeah , everything 's great . you did a great job planning . ashley : thank you . stitch : in case i have n't told you this lately , thank you . you know , i really appreciate , you know , you putting so much time and energy into making this wedding a reality . ashley : you do n't have to thank me . it means a lot to me to be able to do this for my daughter . and for you . i 'm gon na go check with the caterer . okay . see you . stitch : see ? everything 's fine . dylan : all right . hey , i 'm just -- you know , i 'm glad for everybody . stitch : hey . i have no doubts , mac . none . abby is the right woman for me . the only woman . the only thing missing tonight is my son max . i really wish he could have been here . dylan : [ sighs ] summer : yeah , kyle really wanted to be here , but he 's just feeling so sick . whatever he caught just really flattened him out . nikki : oh , well , there is a bad flu bug going around . whatever it is , it 's best that he stay home and get over it . summer : yeah . traci : hey , you 're checking your phone a bunch . victoria : yeah , i noticed that , too . something going on ? abby : i was hoping that jenna would change her mind about bringing max to the wedding . i got her on the phone once , but she hung up on me . chelsea : did you try calling her back ? abby : yeah , for all the good it did me . i left a message pleading with her , but she never got back to me . they 're not coming , which really bums me out , because it would have been a wonderful surprise for ben . traci : oh , abby , it was such a wonderful thought . i 'm really sorry that she 's being uncooperative . chelsea : do n't let it get you down , okay ? abby : i wo n't . no way am i gon na let ben 's ex - wife ruin my night .

[ chuckles ] [ sighs ] jack : ash ? hi . ashley : happy new year . jack : yeah , happy new year . um , i was hoping i 'd catch up with you before the ceremony , see how you were holding up under the stress of the wedding and everything . ashley : everything ? jack : well , yeah . i mean , you made a lot of big decisions lately . you 've been up to a lot . quitting jabot , diving into this partnership with this neville character , getting ready for the wedding . ashley : why do you sound worried ? jack : it 's unlike you , do n't you think ? ashley : i almost died in that fire , jack . i decided i had to make some changes and quickly . and that 's what i 've done . today is about abby and her happiness , so please excuse me , but i have a bride to attend to . oh , and , um ... do n't worry about me . i 've got everything under control . hey ! abby : hi ! chelsea : hello ! traci : glad you 're here . dr. neville : ah . here he is . the man of the hour . stitch : how are you ? come on over here . dr. neville : this is , uh , over here is good , too . stitch : yeah . dr. neville : is it too soon to offer you my felicitations ? stitch : i got to tell you , i was pretty surprised that ashley invited you to be her date . dr. neville : yeah , i get a lot of that . so many people seem incredulous , but , um , here i am . [ chuckles ] not to worry . i think you 'll find i 'm an asset to any party . stitch : oh , yeah . you 're -- you 're an asset , all right . [ chuckles ] dr. neville : am i supposed to read something less than convivial between the lines there , doctor ? stitch : oh , i 'm just -- i 'm just keeping an eye out for ashley , you know . she gave up everything at jabot to work on your project . you drag her down in the muck with you , you 're gon na have to answer to a lot of people . not just me . dr. neville : it 's admirable the way you look out for your former colleague and future mother - in - law . stitch : ashley 's a good person and a good friend . dr. neville : ah . stitch : she put a lot of trust in you . so she better not wind up disappointed . consider yourself warned . dr. neville : [ chuckles ] i have so many things to consider . but i 'll definitely add that to the list . dylan : well , i 'm , uh , i 'm glad you and sage were able to work things out . nick : yeah , me , too . for a while there ... dylan : uh , for a while , everybody was worried about both of you . nick : yeah , i think we 're learning how to be together and support each other through the dark moments instead of running away or , in my case , pushing too hard . either way , it 's fear talking . and once we realized that , it was better off for everyone . dylan : i 'm sure it was . sage : [ laughs ] nick : looks like everyone 's finally in a good place again . noah : you sure you do n't know what adam 's up to ? victor : i have no clue , noah . i think he may be picking up chelsea . noah : why not just say that ? why be so secretive ? victor : noah , do n't you worry about adam , okay ? i want you to concentrate on the task at hand , and that is to get the santoris out of newman . and you will be a very important part of that , okay ? see you upstairs ? noah : yeah . victor : all right . marisa : even with an invitation , i ca n't imagine we 'd be welcome at the wedding . luca : especially by noah ? marisa : by any of the newmans . luca : there 's one who likes us . adam . in fact , we 're working on a project together . marisa : what kind of project ? luca : it 'll be a good thing for all of us . put an end to the mistrust between our families . marisa : what this plan is , i do n't trust adam . he 's a master of deceit . you need to be very careful around him . luca : i do n't believe everything that comes out of his mouth . but we have something in common . adam hates his father just as i hate mine . marisa : you 're getting in the middle of adam and victor 's relationship ? that 's a very dangerous idea , luca . luca : it 's sweet of you to look out for me . but i wo n't be making any moves until the waters are well - tested . and what better place to test them than a family wedding ? chelsea : are you here for me ? adam : no , actually , i came to ask -- ask the bride a favor . ashley : what kind of a favor ? abby : it must be a big one for you to show up here now . adam : yeah . you all look beautiful , by the way . um , i actually , uh , wanted to ask you to invite luca santori and marisa to the wedding , put them on the guest list if you could . abby : you ca n't be serious . dad 's head would literally explode . summer : yeah , and noah 's . traci : santori ? who are they ? victoria : no one you 'd want to meet , trust me . adam : even if victor explodes at first , he 'll get over it , okay ? he 's not gon na let something like this ruin your wedding . as far as noah 's concerned , he 's come a long way when dealing with those two , has n't he ? summer : not far enough . ashley : i do n't think this is a good idea . summer : no , it 's a very bad idea . chelsea : uh , ladies , maybe we should just give adam a chance to explain . adam : thank you . victoria : yes , adam . tell us what 's behind this brilliant suggestion of yours . adam : listen , i 'm not trying to cause any trouble , okay ? in fact , quite the opposite . i just think it 's time to move forward . abby : what does that mean ? adam : well , it means there 's always some kind of battle going on , right ? the newmans and the abbotts , the newmans and the santoris . i feel like luca 's ready to start a war , and i think if we extend this sort of good faith to him , you know , it could put an end to it . nikki : you know , i have to say , i think adam makes a lot of sense . adam : thank you . nikki : and if you should decide to go ahead with it , honey , i will do my best to make sure that victor stays civil . abby : well , something about this night is making me feel very hopeful about the future , so yes , they can come , as long as they do n't cause any trouble . adam : no , they will not cause any trouble . i 'll vouch for them , okay ? i 'll keep them on a short leash . thank you . abby : you 're welcome . adam : [ inhales deeply ] well , carry on . chelsea : [ chuckles ] adam : all right . bye . see you . traci : that was very gracious , abby . abby : well , you know , that 's me . the gracious bride . but now that adam 's left , i should finish getting ready . ashley : wait . one more thing we have to deal with . and it ca n't wait . kevin : hey . billy : hey . kevin : you have the money ? i can call natalie and let her know . billy : actually , uh ... kevin : damn it , billy . why did i trust you ? i already told her i had the funding . billy : look , kevin , i just need a little more time . that 's all . kevin : if that money is not in natalie 's bank account in the next 24 hours , she 's gon na start shopping this idea around to someone else . billy : kevin , i swear on all that is holy , i will have the funds by tomorrow , okay ? kevin : the whole $ 2 million ? billy : that was our agreement . kevin : you 'd better , or i 'm gon na find someone else to step in and you can kiss this opportunity goodbye . billy : [ sighs ] victor : thank you . neil : wine spritzer for you and a club soda for me . hilary : thank you . i need to pace myself . lily : hi . neil : hey . look at you . you look beautiful . lily : aww . thank you . devon : she 's not the only one . lily : i did n't know you two were coming together . hilary : no , um , we did n't . uh , i 'm here solo . neil just gave me a ride from jabot . neil : yeah , i figured the whole family 's invited , so ... devon : it was nice of you to help out . hilary : uh , hey , you ! you in the tux , come here . lily : yeah , come say hi . stitch : well , how can i refuse an offer like that ? neil : hey , congratulations , man . you 're marrying a hell of a girl . stitch : thanks . do n't i know it . devon : and if you ever forget ... lily : abby will definitely remind you . devon : that 's right . stitch : [ chuckles ] well , hey , thank you guys so much for coming out tonight . it means a lot to have so many friends here . lily : of course . neil : cheers . stitch : cheers . [ glasses clink ] lily : congratulations . abby : something we need to deal with now ? ashley : yes . something old , something new , something borrowed , and something blue . abby : that 's right . do we have to do that ? traci : yes , we do . it 's a tradition . chelsea : and i covered the new -- abby 's wedding gown . abby : i can not wait for you guys to see it . it 's absolutely gorgeous . victoria : something borrowed . abby : [ chuckles ] oh , my gosh . traci : they 're beautiful . ashley : gorgeous . abby : they 're beautiful . oh . victoria : great . i 'm glad you like them . just remember , they 're borrowed . [ laughter ] abby : yeah , you are never getting these back . [ laughter ] traci : um , my turn . my turn . let 's see . here we go . abby : oh . ashley : wow . that 's beautiful . abby : oh , my gosh . aunt traci . traci : sapphires . blue . abby : [ sighs ] summer : can i see ? oh , wow . chelsea : gorgeous . abby : i recognize this bracelet . it was colleen 's . traci : yes . [ voice breaking ] i know she would want you to have it , and she would be so , so happy for you today . [ sniffles ] [ chuckles tearfully ] sorry , sweetie . abby : thank you . i will treasure it forever . traci : i know you will . thank you . ashley : okay . now it 's my turn . abby : [ sighs ] ashley : something old and very special . abby : a handkerchief . [ chuckles ] that will come in handy . [ laughter ] ashley : well , it 's , um , it has a hand - embroidered `` a `` on it . and , um ... my father gave this to me when i was a little girl . nikki : oh ! it was john 's . ashley : yeah . daddy 's .

see you upstairs ? noah : yeah . victor : all right . marisa : even with an invitation , i ca n't imagine we 'd be welcome at the wedding . luca : especially by noah ? marisa : by any of the newmans . luca : there 's one who likes us . adam . in fact , we 're working on a project together . marisa : what kind of project ? luca : it 'll be a good thing for all of us . put an end to the mistrust between our families . marisa : what this plan is , i do n't trust adam . he 's a master of deceit . you need to be very careful around him . luca : i do n't believe everything that comes out of his mouth . but we have something in common . adam hates his father just as i hate mine . marisa : you 're getting in the middle of adam and victor 's relationship ?

who are they ? victoria : no one you 'd want to meet , trust me . adam : even if victor explodes at first , he 'll get over it , okay ? he 's not gon na let something like this ruin your wedding . as far as noah 's concerned , he 's come a long way when dealing with those two , has n't he ? summer : not far enough . ashley : i do n't think this is a good idea . summer : no , it 's a very bad idea . chelsea : uh , ladies , maybe we should just give adam a chance to explain . adam : thank you . victoria : yes , adam . tell us what 's behind this brilliant suggestion of yours . adam : listen , i 'm not trying to cause any trouble , okay ? in fact , quite the opposite . i just think it 's time to move forward . abby : what does that mean ? adam : well , it means there 's always some kind of battle going on , right ? the newmans and the abbotts , the newmans and the santoris . i feel like luca 's ready to start a war , and i think if we extend this sort of good faith to him , you know , it could put an end to it . nikki : you know , i have to say , i think adam makes a lot of sense . adam : thank you . nikki : and if you should decide to go ahead with it , honey , i will do my best to make sure that victor stays civil . abby : well , something about this night is making me feel very hopeful about the future , so yes , they can come , as long as they do n't cause any trouble . adam : no , they will not cause any trouble . i 'll vouch for them , okay ? i 'll keep them on a short leash . thank you . abby : you 're welcome . adam : [ inhales deeply ] well , carry on . chelsea : [ chuckles ] adam : all right . bye . see you . traci : that was very gracious , abby . abby : well , you know , that 's me . the gracious bride . but now that adam 's left , i should finish getting ready . ashley : wait . one more thing we have to deal with . and it ca n't wait . kevin : hey . billy : hey . kevin : you have the money ? i can call natalie and let her know . billy : actually , uh ... kevin : damn it , billy . why did i trust you ? i already told her i had the funding . billy : look , kevin , i just need a little more time . that 's all . kevin : if that money is not in natalie 's bank account in the next 24 hours , she 's gon na start shopping this idea around to someone else . billy : kevin , i swear on all that is holy , i will have the funds by tomorrow , okay ?

[ scene_break ] sharon : you know , not everything can be blamed on victor . jack : you know , maybe not , but when i think of all the low points in my life , most of them can be traced back to victor . when we first took jabot public , he stole my family 's company from me . i was engaged to diane jenkins , he dazzled her with his money , next thing i know , she 's calling me from their honeymoon suite . he 's responsible for my stepping down from the state senate . he 's also responsible for the gas drilling that caused the explosion at clear springs that nearly killed you . believe me , the list goes on and on . sharon : you -- you think that victor gave nick the money just to get at you ? jack : i have n't the slightest doubt in my mind . sharon : jack , there 's something that i have to tell you , and you 're not gon na like it . jack : what ? sharon : victor gave nick the money because of me . jack : wait , how could you be responsible for victor giving nick the money to buy us out ? sharon : jack , i was trying to help you . that day that i brought noah over to see his grandfather , i asked victor if he would hire nick , because i thought that maybe if nick had a job , he would n't lose face and he would just sell us the magazine . i never dreamed that victor would end up giving him the money to back the takeover . jack : why would you think victor would help when i 'm involved ? sharon : well , i just thought that i would be helping everyone . i guess i did n't think it through . jack : so why all the secrecy ? sharon : because , jack , i - i did n't know how to tell you . i did n't know how you would react . jack : well , that makes me wonder what else you 're not telling me , what else you do n't want me to know . sharon : nothing . there 's nothing . jack : what kind of marriage do we have if you ca n't find a way to tell me the truth ?

[ scene_break ] jessica : thanks . ford : sure . jessica : ford -- ford : yeah ? jessica : never mind . i 'm sorry . ford : for what ? jessica : barging in on you . i 'm a total mess , and i 'm probably keeping you from something . ford : actually , my plans for the night kind of fell through , so why do n't you tell me what happened ? i mean , when i saw you last time , you were so excited about the prom , you could n't wait . jessica : oh ... well , why not ? i made a total fool out of myself in front of the entire school . i might as well tell you . ford : i 'm sure it was n't that bad . jessica : i rigged the vote so cristian and i would be crowned prom king and queen . i just thought that it would change things for us . i thought that it would bring him back in time to where i am with our whole future ahead of us and we 'd finally get together , but instead he asked layla to marry him . ford : oh , wow . that 's big news . jessica : he 's supposed to love me . how could he do this ? ford : hey , cristian is a fool . [ scene_break ] markko : answer me . was it just sex , or are you in love with ford ? langston : i do n't know . markko : what , you just had sex with him for no reason ? langston : no , no . i felt something . i thought it was real . markko : you thought . you thought . well , then did you just think that you loved me , too ? langston : i was confused . i was scared . markko : of what , me ? langston : no , of us . we were so young when we first got together . we were each other 's first loves . markko : i thought that meant something to you . langston : it did . it did . it does , but it 's just we started saying things like `` always `` and `` forever , `` and it terrified me , the thought that i would never know anything else . markko : you do n't think i had other opportunities , too ? what , did you forget about your cousin lola ? she practically threw herself at me , and , yeah , she was psycho , but she was also pretty damn hot . langston : markko . markko : and , oh , what about all of the girls on campus , huh ? yeah , chicks with smoking bodies and way more experienced than you . i could 've slept with a ton of them if i wanted to , and , yeah , i thought about what it would be like , but that 's where it always stopped , with the thought , because my next thought would always be how much i loved you , how much i did n't want anybody else . i would love you for the rest of my life , and i trusted that love . i trusted you ! langston : i know . i broke that trust , markko . markko : with ford ! what kind of sick s.o.b . could look me in the eyes every day knowing that he was sleeping with my girlfriend ? langston : ford is a very good liar . [ scene_break ] ford : i know exactly how you feel . i was seeing this girl who was funny , smart , beautiful -- a lot like you , actually -- and she walked out on me . she went chasing after some other guy . jessica : that 's awful . ford : i just wish things could have gone on the way they were , you know ? jessica : oh , why ca n't anyone be loyal ? you know , why are they chasing after something new when the best thing they 've ever had is right under their nose ? ford : so what about this guy who was taking you to prom -- brody ? jessica : i tried to like him , but my heart is still with cristian . ford : well , then why did you ask him to the prom if you knew that he never stood a chance ? jessica : well , because i thought that he was a decent guy , but he 's not . i never want to see him again for as long as i live . [ scene_break ] brody : and for what it 's worth , my night was a bomb , too . natalie : mm , things did n't go so well at prom ? brody : ha ha ! that 's the understatement of the year . natalie : what happened ? brody : ah , well , it started out great . you know , jessica and i , we were connecting again , and then she set me straight on that real quick . she made it clear she was n't gon na trade in her feelings for cristian tonight or ever . natalie : why is n't this making me feel any better ? brody : that 's a good question . natalie : it 's like love , right ? supposed to make you feel great . just makes you feel stupid . you wake up wishing you could take back everything you did the night before . brody : it did n't end with john not showing up at rodi 's tonight , did it ? natalie : no . no . i mean , why quit while you 're behind ? oh , roxy showed up , and i let her convince me to go find john . you know , maybe he had n't found the letter . so i went to his office , and i got there right in time to see him locking lips with marty with my letter open right in front of them . brody : oh , man . natalie : it 's okay . at least now i know without a doubt things are over for john and me for good . [ scene_break ] john : you know where natalie is ? roxy : she was here . she was half - plastered . you know , i think her walking into your office and seeing you and marty kissy face , i think it did a big number on her , and someone was gon na have to cart her out of here , and that 's why i came back . let me ask you something . if you came here for natty , then why were you doing the tongue twister with the doc ? john : marty and i were saying good - bye . roxy : good - bye like in `` see you later `` good - bye or like `` hasta la pasta `` good- bye ? john : do you know where natalie is , or not ? roxy : well , if she 's not still here , then she 's gone . john : obviously . roxy : hey , baby , i 'm talking gone gone , and it 's great that you came for her , but it 's just a little too late . [ scene_break ] blair : what i said earlier about being there for you for treatment tomorrow , i 'll be there . i mean , anything you need , i 'm there , okay ? téa : you really are strange . blair : excuse me ? téa : ha ha ha ! when things are at their worst , that 's when you 're at your best . blair : well , i am being fitted for wings and a halo later if you 'd like to come along . téa : ha ha ha ! you know , the last time we were this close to being bffs , we were stuck in that basement with that psycho powell . blair : god , like you 'd ever let me forget it ? i mean , you had to tell me this big secret because you thought that you were gon na die . i 'm sorry . it 's foot- in - mouth disease . téa : it 's okay . it 's all right . it 's true . i did n't want to die with the secret that i had a kid with todd . blair : you did n't want dani to end up alone . téa : but this time , i really am gon na die , and there 's something that i need you to know . [ scene_break ] john : i did n't realize good - bye meant she was leaving town tonight . roxy : she got a ticket on the redeye to london . oh , yeah . she 's gone . that puppy is gone , gone , gone . john : forgot that about her . roxy : what ? john : oh , she acts first and asks questions later . why did n't she just talk to me first ? roxy : maybe you were n't ready to listen , but , you know , you can call her tomorrow and have a jolly good talk with her , but in the meantime , why do n't we celebrate ? i say you raid your top - shelf hooch and we celebrate the future that youse two guys are gon na have . what ? come on . you 're not on duty . there 's nothing else that you can do tonight . john : maybe there is .

[ scene_break ] jessica : brody said the most vile thing about my father , you know , not the man that raised me , but still , oh , it makes me sick to even think about it . how could he do that ? ford : i do n't know . jessica : he 's supposed to be this hero , but really , he 's just an insensitive jerk , and that 's how he tries to get me to like him ? ford : yeah . jessica : it 's just -- ford : i 'm really sorry . hey , you want something to drink , maybe some wine ? jessica : hey ! i am underage . ford : no , you 're not . listen . i know this whole thing has been really confusing for you , but you 're not a baby , so i 'm not gon na treat you like one . jessica : tell brody that . ford : he 's not here . so what do you say ? i got a nice red . jessica : my grandfather always tells me -- he always told me not to trust men who try to ply me with liquor . ford : if i had a granddaughter , i 'd say the same thing . jessica : you would ? ford : if she was underage , hell yeah . jessica : but , like you said , i 'm not underage . ford : well , it 's still a good rule . you know , some guys will stop at nothing to get a girl to be with them . jessica : but you 're not like that . ford : definitely not .

lucky : i will be in soon . if anything comes up in the meantime , i 'm on my cell . okay . no word on lulu . sam : hey , look , maybe -- maybe that is a good thing . lucky : you know what ? i appreciate your attempt at optimism . sam : hey , excuse me , but clichés exist because often they are true , and maybe at this point , no news is good news . i mean , there was n't a shootout or anything . that 's good . lucky : that 's a good point . sam : you know what a better point is . once you go out those doors , your world is going to come crashing in , so until then , here i am . [ knock on door ] lucky : are you expecting someone ? sam : no . elizabeth : sam , it 's elizabeth . are you home ? [ scene_break ] sonny : i did n't expect to see you again so soon . have a seat . karpov : i woke up to some rather disturbing news . sonny : okay . karpov : my representative , sasha , informed me that your meeting last night came to an abrupt end , specifically because you chose to intervene in an argument between anthony zacchara and his daughter . i 'm sure you can understand why this concerns me greatly . [ scene_break ] carly : this is getting ridiculous . three arrests in 48 hours ? it 's got to be some kind of a record . jason : diane 's handling it right now . carly : oh , but still . are the police that unimaginative they ca n't come up with something else to do than arrest you every time something goes wrong in this town ? we ca n't sit still with this , jason . it 's ridiculous . jason : it 's -- no , carly , do n't do anything . carly : you bet i 'm going to do something , starting with getting you out of here . then you 're going to help me find lulu , and we 're going to bring her home . jason : okay , the whole lulu situation is a lot more complicated than you think . carly : i know what 's going on with lulu . lulu 's nobody 's hostage , least of all johnny 's . and this whole jailbreak thing is a product of her fevered little mind . [ scene_break ] logan : all you care about is johnny . you do n't give a damn about me . [ lulu screams ] [ gunshot ] [ lulu screams ] johnny : shh , shh . [ scene_break ] sam : just a minute . i 'll be right there , elizabeth . what is she doing ? lucky : i do n't know , but i guess we 're about to find out . sam : you have to get out of sight . lucky : listen , just do n't let anything slip about the counterfeit drug raid -- sam : i know . go ! lucky : i do n't want elizabeth involved . sam : i know . hold on . elizabeth : hey , hi . sam : oh , hi . come on in . elizabeth : did i wake you ? sam : no , no , not at all . elizabeth : i know i should have called first . i do have an excuse , if you want to hear it . sam : oh , okay . elizabeth : i followed an impulse , and you can tell me to shut up if you think it 's none of my business . sam : oh , now i 'm really curious . elizabeth : okay , well , i 'm sure you know that lulu has disappeared , and whether she 's really a hostage or just following the man she loves , i could n't say , but either way , lucky is terrified for his sister . and since the two of you are n't together anymore , he does n't have anybody to help him , you know , with his fear , so i was hoping that maybe i could convince you to be that person again . [ scene_break ] sonny : i agreed to this quasi partnership with you because you present an attractive offer . in return for specific information on how port charles operates , you pay me a lot of money . but not nearly enough for you to police my life or question my associates . now , look , if you got a problem with that , then we can end this right now . we could just walk away , no harm done . karpov : i have every intention of making our deal work , but i do n't want unnecessary troubles with zaccharas . you putting yourself into the middle of a domestic dispute between anthony and claudia is the very definition of trouble . sonny : for me , maybe . it had nothing to do with you . karpov : guilt by association . sonny : you had -- you should n't even concern yourself , because anthony zacchara wo n't be a factor much longer . karpov : what makes you say so ? sonny : his son is a fugitive , and he 's making wrong decisions because he 's in love . right now , he 's on the run with his girlfriend , and it is a good chance his pattern 's going to hold up . he 's going to do something stupid , because he 's not very bright , and the cops have orders to use excessive force , so what 's going to end up happening is johnny 's going to get himself killed , and his father anthony is going to fall right over a cliff into madness . [ scene_break ] jason : okay , carly , now i need you to listen to me , because the worst thing you can do for lulu is come up with some plan that does n't have a chance of working . it 's going to make everything worse . carly : that 's nice . that 's great , thanks . jason : i 'm not -- i 'm not trying to hurt you . i 'm not trying to fight you . i will -- i will be glad to tell you everything i know , but i need you to promise me you 're not going to do anything . how many times have we been down this road ? carly : why did you get to decide ? lulu 's my cousin . jason : because it 's my life . it 's the one i chose . i know what i 'm talking about . carly : okay . jason : okay , you know what ? maybe i should come at it from a carly direction . do you think i would ever do anything to hurt lulu ? carly : no . i trust you , jason . you know that . jason : hey , that 's good . that 's -- that 's progress . carly : great . i got a big problem with going home and sitting quiet in my room when lulu 's life is on the line . [ scene_break ] johnny : whoever cleaned this place out must have gotten rid of all the food in the kitchen . we 're going to have to go out at some point for some supplies . lulu : what ? we ca n't . johnny : lulu , we have to eat . lulu : we 're fugitives , remember ? we 're not some romantic couple on a holiday in new york . we 're -- go out ? that 's asking to get caught . johnny : well , i 'm willing to risk being arrested or being involved in a nice shootout for a strong cup of coffee . lulu : you 're making jokes ? johnny : guess not . sorry . lulu : no , i 'm sorry . just because i 'm freaking out does n't give me the right to jump all over you . johnny : no , you 're right . we 're fugitives , and if you 're uptight , you have every right to be . lulu : it 's not so much being on the run . it 's logan . i ca n't get him out of my head . he said i would never get over him , and i 'm starting to see what he meant . [ scene_break ] tracy : thank you for meeting me . nikolas : i take it this is about lulu . tracy : instinct told me to check my father 's gun cabinet , and there is a handgun missing . i believe that lulu took it to johnny and that this whole jailbreak thing was her idea . nikolas : yeah , i wish i could say i 'm shocked , but -- tracy : big news -- this is n't lulu having first sex at the boathouse . she 's putting her life in the hands of a very dangerous criminal who is reckless on a good day , and i ca n't reach luke . do you know where he is ? scott : well , i was hoping that i could answer that for you . me and my beautiful daughter serena 's down at the bahamas , you know , and i know that luke 's been on one of his skin - diving trips . however , we did n't go into any rummy bars or bordellos . tracy : how long have you been back ? scott : about 20 minutes or so . why ? nikolas : you have n't checked any messages ? scott : well , you know , it 's hard to check messages when you 're in 60 feet of water down there diving , you know . why ? something happen ? tracy : i hate to be the one to tell you this , scott . it 's about logan . scott : what has the kid done this time ? nikolas : he 's dead , scott . [ scene_break ] sam : i am not really sure what to say . i never really expected you to be encouraging me back to lucky . elizabeth : yeah , well , i 'm a little surprised myself , but in my eyes , the breakup was n't really fair , because no matter what you thought , you saw that day , lucky and i are not romantically involved . we 're parents together , and that 's it . sam : yeah , well , maybe that 's what you think , and that 's probably what lucky inks , too , but i am an invested observer , and i can clearly see that the two of you are connected on a deeper level . i -- i 'm in -- i 'm in actually no rush to get my heart handed back to me again . i -- i 'm not really good . i think the whole town really knows what a bad reaction i have , and i really do n't want to put myself through that again . elizabeth : i can understand wanting to protect your heart , but sometimes it 's just not necessary . sometimes , you can find a guy who will recognize your heart as the precious gift it is and honor and respect it , a guy like lucky . sam : wow , you have n't always felt that way . elizabeth : well , lucky and i have had our problems , but we 've both learned from them . but just do n't give up on him . that 's all i came here to say . sam : thank you . elizabeth : sure . sam : you know , it 's weird . now that i 'm getting to know elizabeth a little bit , i 'm actually finding ways to respect her , like the way she genuinely cares about you . [ scene_break ] karpov : i made contact with the congressman you recommended . i 'm anticipating a mutually beneficial relationship . sonny : good , good , i 'm glad to hear that . and i 'll contact sasha about any transportation routes . anything else ? karpov : oh , now that you mention it , i 'd appreciate it if you 'd arrange an introduction to jason morgan . sonny : why ? karpov : well , i find it productive to meet face - to - face . sonny : okay , you do n't have to -- you do n't have to meet face -- you 're not going to have any dealings with jason at all . you 're not going to compete with him , infringe on him in any way . that was our deal . karpov : well , if my meeting with jason makes you uncomfortable , consider the request withdrawn . sonny : that 'll work . max , show our guest out . karpov : it 's been a pleasure , mr. corinthos . max : okay , i 've got to say it . this was a terrible idea to begin with , and it 's getting worse by the minute . [ scene_break ] anthony : wait in the hall for me . claudia : or you might want to wait outside . that way you 'll be closer to the clean - up in case i decide to throw my father off the balcony . anthony : have you ever noticed that all this family talks about is violence ? why is that , claudia ? i mean , there are plenty of other things to discuss . how about this weather we 're having ? no , seriously , there 's politics . i mean , there 's a potentially historical presidential race going on as we speak . but you put two zaccharas in a room , and it 's always about the violence or the hatred or the striking out . hurt first , the zacchara way . claudia : what 's your point ? anthony : i lost my temper last night , said horrible things . i came to tell you i 'm sorry . [ scene_break ] [ knock on door ] spinelli : oh , maximista , a true sight for sore eyes . maxie : i brought fortifications . spinelli : okay , the jackal is much obliged and grateful for your consideration . did you pass a restful night , despite the interloping presence of dr. hunter in your previously sacrosanct domicile ? maxie : i did n't see him . he must have gotten back after i went to sleep last night and left before i woke up , which works out perfectly , because if i never have to see that self - involved jerk again , it would be way too soon . i mean , i ca n't believe robin rented out that room . she does n't even live there . spinelli : well , i 'm sure the expectant one 's intentions were honorable . maxie : whatever , i 'm not even really worried about that . i 'm more concerned about finding johnny and lulu . any leads ? spinelli : the jackal regrets to report that despite countless hours of video culling from the area where the mayor 's car was found , no clues to the whereabouts of the fugitive ones has surfaced . maxie : you could have just said no . but maybe you missed something . i 'll take a look . spinelli : while the jackal is always pleased to have maximista 's assistance . he fears that the fugitive ones may prove untraceable . [ scene_break ] jason : we both want the same thing . we want lulu back safe , facing minimal fallout . i need you to trust me to make that happen . carly : okay , but i do n't like being managed , jason . jason : well , do n't -- do n't make me manage you , okay ? i 'm going to let you in when the time is right , but now things are too volatile . johnny and lulu , they 're scared . they 're nervous . these guys right here are so embarrassed , they 're trigger - happy . this is not a good situation right now , carly . carly : okay , i get it . i get it . you will fill me in on everything . jason : yes , i 'm -- i 'm going to tell you everything . carly : i 'll stay out of it . for now . jason : okay , first thing you need to know -- johnny did not kill logan . lulu did . carly : are you sure about that ? jason : yeah , i am . carly : how do you know ? jason : spinelli told me , and lulu confessed . carly : it had to be self - defense , jason . jason : logan broke into johnny 's apartment with an ax . he came after lulu . she panicked . she was scared , obviously . she stabbed him . johnny walked in . logan was dead . that 's when the cover - up started . carly : how long have you known about this ? jason : i do n't -- a day or so after it happened . carly : oh , my god . and i 'm just finding out about it now ? jason : you know what ? lulu told me not to say anything . i need you to trust me right now , carly . carly : let me tell you something . if lulu trusted you , she would n't have broken johnny out of lockup . [ scene_break ] sonny : max , i appreciate , you know , leaving jason to come work for me , but i did n't hire you as a consultant or a shrink . you 're my bodyguard , the same as it 's always been . you do n't get to tell me how to conduct my business . max : part of being a bodyguard is anticipating a problem . now , karpov is a heavy hitter . the guy is a straight - up criminal . sonny : yes , so what ? max : well , so a couple of things . you swore to kate that you were out of the business . now you 're going around aligning yourself with the karpovs behind her back . mr. c. , you are a smart man . sonny : mm - hmm . max : you must know that you 're putting yourself in a situation that could blow up in your face . now , if i did n't know better , i 'd think that you were in that deliberately self - sabotaging mode that you disappear into . sonny : i know exactly what i 'm doing , max . you do n't say a word to kate , and no one has to worry about anything . excuse me . max : i -- i hope not . sonny : you really think jason would rise up against me ? max : you tell me . if you were in charge , if you had taken over for someone who swore they were out clean and then they turned around and they made an alliance with one of your competitors , what would you do ? there are faster ways to commit suicide than waving a red flag in front of jason . sonny : how come you 're not assuming that i 'm -- i 'm helping him instead of betraying him ? max : i never said betray . sonny : well , you implied it , max . max : things have been tense between you and jason ever since michael got hurt . now you 're helping karpovs move in on his territory . sonny : i 'm working with karpov to keep him out of jason 's way . i 'm helping karpov so he leaves jason alone . that 's not betrayal . that 's protection . [ scene_break ] carly : this is really bad . i mean , i think lulu is more fragile than we realized . her biggest fear is looking in the mirror one day and realizing she 's lived her mother 's life . how do we know that has n't already happened ? jason : what do you mean ? carly : what if logan raped lulu ? luke raped laura , and then laura turned around and killed her stepfather , a man she loved . i mean , not the same way lulu loved logan , but man , you 've got to admit , the parallels are pretty scary . i 'm sure lulu is freaking out right now . she probably sees herself a few years down the road , sitting in some mental ward . i do n't know , maybe i could have helped her if i knew . i just feel -- jason : i 'm sorry if i -- if i handled it wrong . i just reacted , you know carly : no , it 's not your fault . i 'm not saying that . i 'm just -- i 'm really afraid for my cousin . i think lulu 's nightmare has just begun .

[ scene_break ] johnny : i can handle a little trip to the store , lulu . lulu : you are the one that 's supposed to be armed and dangerous . your face is the one that is probably plastered all over the newspapers and the news . i can be anonymous . johnny : yeah , not with that mug . lulu : flattery will get you anything you want . johnny : yeah , that 's what i 'm hoping for . lulu : seriously , i 'll go out , and i 'll get a -- a hat and sunglasses , and no one will even notice me . johnny : you have been through enough . lulu : i had a nightmare , big whoop . johnny : yeah , it is a big whoop . look , it just reaffirms what you said , that you 're drowning in guilt over logan . lulu : it was a nightmare . i 've had them before . i probably will have them again , but it does n't make me helpless . johnny : do you plan on always being this stubborn ? lulu : what you see is pretty much what you get . johnny : then you 'll need some cash . lulu : wow . let me just take a second to congratulate myself . when you bust a guy out of jail , it really helps when he is equipped with tons of cash , a getaway car , and a preplanned getaway bag . johnny : well , i aim to please . lulu : any special requests ? johnny : yeah , one . johnny : be safe . and chips and salsa . lulu : oh , you got it . [ scene_break ] anthony : i got to tell you , it took me by surprise the way sonny rushed to your defense like some black knight in tarnished armor . last i knew , you were supposed to have despised each other . claudia : well , maybe even sonny has his limits . maybe he did n't think it was appropriate , you know , for a father to be screaming at his daughter in the middle of a crowded restaurant about how he wished he drowned her when she was a baby . anthony : you know i did n't mean that . claudia : no , i really do n't . anthony : if that 's true , it breaks my heart . we have n't been good to each other , claudia . that 's your mother 's fault . it is . she turned you against me , and i could n't trust you after that . she tried to make you over into her own selfish image , and she succeeded too well . you got greedy . you got hungry for more power than any woman should ever have . i regret that . i regret what 's between us . i wish we could have been closer . but things are what they are . that hunger for power makes you dangerous to john . i ca n't let that stand . [ phone rings ] claudia : yeah ? johnny : can you talk ? claudia : um , i would love to talk to you , but it is really not the best time right now . johnny : dad 's there ? claudia : yeah , something like that . johnny : all right , i understand . i just want you to know i am safe . claudia : all right . johnny : i 'll be in touch . anthony : that was john , was n't it ? claudia : uh , no , actually that was sonny . he just called to make sure i was safe . anthony : aww , i 'm touched . claudia : oh , yeah , right . you know , i am starting to see sonny in a whole new light , daddy . maybe i should go after him after all . i mean , you know how us power - hungry women are . got to have that access . anthony : do n't waste your time . sonny retired . he cut his own power off at the knees . you 'll need a better ally than corinthos to protect you . claudia : oh , yeah ? so i need protection now ? so much for your apology . anthony : believe it or not , claudia , i love you -- in my own way . but i got to be honest . i love your brother more . i want him back . every hair in place . if that does not happen , the finger of blame will point directly at you .

[ scene_break ] sonny : i agreed to this quasi partnership with you because you present an attractive offer . in return for specific information on how port charles operates , you pay me a lot of money . but not nearly enough for you to police my life or question my associates . now , look , if you got a problem with that , then we can end this right now . we could just walk away , no harm done . karpov : i have every intention of making our deal work , but i do n't want unnecessary troubles with zaccharas . you putting yourself into the middle of a domestic dispute between anthony and claudia is the very definition of trouble . sonny : for me , maybe . it had nothing to do with you . karpov : guilt by association . sonny : you had -- you should n't even concern yourself , because anthony zacchara wo n't be a factor much longer . karpov : what makes you say so ? sonny : his son is a fugitive , and he 's making wrong decisions because he 's in love . right now , he 's on the run with his girlfriend , and it is a good chance his pattern 's going to hold up . he 's going to do something stupid , because he 's not very bright , and the cops have orders to use excessive force , so what 's going to end up happening is johnny 's going to get himself killed , and his father anthony is going to fall right over a cliff into madness . [ scene_break ] jason : okay , carly , now i need you to listen to me , because the worst thing you can do for lulu is come up with some plan that does n't have a chance of working . it 's going to make everything worse . carly : that 's nice . that 's great , thanks . jason : i 'm not -- i 'm not trying to hurt you . i 'm not trying to fight you . i will -- i will be glad to tell you everything i know , but i need you to promise me you 're not going to do anything . how many times have we been down this road ? carly : why did you get to decide ? lulu 's my cousin . jason : because it 's my life . it 's the one i chose . i know what i 'm talking about . carly : okay . jason : okay , you know what ? maybe i should come at it from a carly direction . do you think i would ever do anything to hurt lulu ? carly : no . i trust you , jason . you know that . jason : hey , that 's good . that 's -- that 's progress . carly : great . i got a big problem with going home and sitting quiet in my room when lulu 's life is on the line .

[ scene_break ] sam : i am not really sure what to say . i never really expected you to be encouraging me back to lucky . elizabeth : yeah , well , i 'm a little surprised myself , but in my eyes , the breakup was n't really fair , because no matter what you thought , you saw that day , lucky and i are not romantically involved . we 're parents together , and that 's it . sam : yeah , well , maybe that 's what you think , and that 's probably what lucky inks , too , but i am an invested observer , and i can clearly see that the two of you are connected on a deeper level . i -- i 'm in -- i 'm in actually no rush to get my heart handed back to me again . i -- i 'm not really good . i think the whole town really knows what a bad reaction i have , and i really do n't want to put myself through that again . elizabeth : i can understand wanting to protect your heart , but sometimes it 's just not necessary . sometimes , you can find a guy who will recognize your heart as the precious gift it is and honor and respect it , a guy like lucky . sam : wow , you have n't always felt that way . elizabeth : well , lucky and i have had our problems , but we 've both learned from them . but just do n't give up on him . that 's all i came here to say . sam : thank you . elizabeth : sure . sam : you know , it 's weird . now that i 'm getting to know elizabeth a little bit , i 'm actually finding ways to respect her , like the way she genuinely cares about you .

[ scene_break ] anthony : i got to tell you , it took me by surprise the way sonny rushed to your defense like some black knight in tarnished armor . last i knew , you were supposed to have despised each other . claudia : well , maybe even sonny has his limits . maybe he did n't think it was appropriate , you know , for a father to be screaming at his daughter in the middle of a crowded restaurant about how he wished he drowned her when she was a baby . anthony : you know i did n't mean that . claudia : no , i really do n't . anthony : if that 's true , it breaks my heart . we have n't been good to each other , claudia . that 's your mother 's fault . it is . she turned you against me , and i could n't trust you after that . she tried to make you over into her own selfish image , and she succeeded too well . you got greedy . you got hungry for more power than any woman should ever have . i regret that . i regret what 's between us . i wish we could have been closer . but things are what they are . that hunger for power makes you dangerous to john . i ca n't let that stand .

( laughs ) cop : well , sorry to disturb you . i just wanted to make sure everybody was okay . tony : well , we are . thank you . cop : all right . eden : was that necessary ? tony : probably not , but i 'm not very good with imagination , so ... eden : you know , the only reason i am here with you is because i thought we were helping danny and bill . and now i am not so sure . tony : why not ? eden : why not ? is n't there a tiny little part in your brain that is wondering whether we 're being set up ? tony : set up to what ? to hurt danny and bill ? no , eden . if that ... look at me . if that was the idea , okay , the shadow could easily ... already gone to the cops . all right , i think he 's on the level about what he 's telling us . it does n't take a genius to figure out that he means the rats and mob have already got into lewis construction . all right , now as far as the crumbs , i just ... eden : we do n't need that . tony : wait . where ... where are you going ? eden : i am going home . the fastest and easiest way to find if the mob has a hold on lewis is to ask bill directly . tony : you 're not going anywhere , okay . alan : bill , i like the way you think . but , unfortunately , i 'm going to have to pass on your proposal . bill : you mean a twenty - five percent lower shipping cost ? that does n't interest you ? alan : well , what we would save with your trucking firm , we would compromise on security . bill : no , no , no , no . this outfit is completely reliable . alan : well , for ordinary commodities . but , you see , pharmaceuticals are a primary target of industrial espionage . and our competitors are looking for our weak spots . gus : so then you 're saying that spaulding securities can never go to an outside source ? alan : precisely . alexandra : look , you know fresh new ideas are always welcomed except that there 's no substitute for experience . gus : talk about experience , guess who i ran into ? at olivia 's bar , brad green , mr . experience , himself . alan : and ? gus : and he was with a woman that was n't his wife . alexandra : he gets his work done . he does . gus : mm - hmm . i just thought that 's the way he got in trouble before . but you know , that 's what you 're saying , then i guess it 's okay . especially because the woman was harley . that 's who he was trying to buy drinks for and feed her oysters . but lucky for him , she 's not a bimbo . alexandra : excuse me , gentlemen , but i think i 'm getting a headache . alan : and its name is brad green . buzz : come on , ed , call . alexandra : buzz ? what are you doing out here in the cold ? buzz : well , i was sweeping up . and now i guess i 'm looking at the stars . alexandra : ( laughs ) beautiful , since it 's completely clouded over . buzz : well , that 's what makes it a challenge . alexandra : yeah . buzz , what is wrong , for pete 's sake ? you 've ... you 've been like this for weeks . buzz : nothing 's ever perfect . marina : are you trying to scare us ? my grandfather is n't dangerous . carrie : then you must have been mistaken when you saw that cold look in his eyes . marina : we gave them every chance to tell the truth . carrie : oh , my dear , when you were a tiny child and you did something wrong , broke a tea cup or spilled your mommy 's perfume , your parents told you to tell the truth . always tell the truth and everything will be forgiven . but you 're a grown woman now . you know things are not that simple . michelle : hi . sorry i 'm late . carrie : are you sure you were n't followed ? michelle : followed by who ? my dad ? carrie : well , he struck you . following you would be child 's play . michelle : no , nobody followed me . carrie : but you were on the phone with your father when i spoke to you . michelle : i lied to him so he would n't see me leave the hospital . ask me how i feel about it . carrie : michelle , i am not the enemy . michelle : well , that 's the one thing i am not so sure about sometimes . ed : yeah , it 's me . buzz : where is she ? ed : she 's right across the street . buzz : great . do n't lose her . ed : it 's a little late for that , buzz . michelle : look my dad was upset , okay . carrie : and violent . michelle : he lost control for a second , because i pushed him too far . carrie : oh , well , that explains everything . maryanne must have pushed him too far the night that she died . it 's always so convenient when you blame the victim . marah : you know what ? i hate this . i really , really hate this . it all started out so innocently . you know , `` wish on some magic rings , girls , and all will be well . `` well , i still have a wish . and i want all of this to go away . carrie : which part do you want to go away ? the part where maryanne got into the car with your father , or the part where i told you about it ? marah : either one would be convenient for me . michelle : so where are the rings ? marina : yeah , is n't marah entitled to her wish ? carrie : well , of course she is . but remember , these rings have great power and with power comes danger . so before you decide , think carefully about what you want and what you stand to gain and what you stand to lose . be careful what you wish for ' still applies . you might want to wish away that night , the car , the river . but what else might change ? you father might never have married your mother . you and brother might never have been born . ed might never have continued to be a doctor in springfield . buzz might not never have returned . only one thing is certain . change one thing in time , you risk changing them all . marah : well , i could still wish we never met you . carrie : yes , but what about the other wishes , the ones that came true ? the ones from marina and the ones from michelle ? danny might still be mired in his own life , shayne might be always confined to a wheelchair . be careful . when you wish away the bad , you might lose the good . marah : then how are we supposed to help the people that we love ? they 're in agony because of stuff that we have stirred up . marina : but you 're blaming the wrong people . marah : the car crash was an accident . carrie : a cover - up was a choice . michelle : but they thought it was their best choice . carrie : they made that pact on the river bank that night . when they had comparatively nothing to lose . what choice would they make now when they have everything to lose ? rick : you would have been so proud , the man in charge , he was telling all the rest of the children what to do , he was completely a chip off the old spaulding block . beth : what did he say to you ? rick : he said , `` i 'm going to be boss , just like my daddy . `` beth : yes , it 's true , i was there , you should be very proud . rick : but the kids , they were sick of it , there was this big overthrow your son is going to be quite the corporate kid some day , i hope . beth : and i always thought it would be lizzie to take over the company . but maybe they can work together . would n't that be nice for a change ? like the bauers . rick : oh , please , not the bauers , we 're not playing very well these days . beth : what 's going on ? rick : i do n't know , my dad and michelle are just , i do n't know , i do n't know what to say , i have no clue what 's going on . beth : you know , i saw ed not too long ago , he seemed kind of lonely to me . rick : he is lonely , but you know my dad , some of this loneliness is self- inflicted , he makes life difficult on himself and sometimes he throws that ... parents . what are we going to do ? some day our kids are going to roll their eyes at us just like we did with alan and lillian and my dad . bill : okay , alan , maybe you did n't like this idea , but there will be others . in the mean time , keep this guy around , very smart , makes a great sounding board . gus : i got ta say , it 's not that i do n't like the corporate life , i do , i quite like it . i miss my job , i miss solving riddles and putting the bits and pieces together , like your stolen car , for example . bill : when did this happen ? gus : oh , 30 years ago , but it was just recovered last week . bill : wait , the one they pulled out of the river ? gus : that 's the one . alan : i thought we had settled this . gus : we did settle this , it 's just that alan : then what 's the problem ? gus : i looked into it a little further and turns out that you were the one that filed the police report . but there is n't a problem . alan : i do n't see a problem . gus : there is n't a problem at all , i just find it interesting that you managed to forget the police report . bill : sounds like something my dad would have done back in his drinking days . alan : i was n't drunk , i just do n't remember , that 's all . gus : it 's fine , i believe you . alan : well , i hope we can put this to rest then . gentlemen , i 'm sorry , but i have to run . and thanks for the pen . bill : guess you touched a nerve , huh ? gus : guess i did . buzz : ed , ed ? alan : what 's the matter ? buzz : michelle might have met up with the letter writer , ed was following her . alan : where ? ed : you did n't lose the connection , i hung up . okay , look , guys , i ca n't do this any more . buzz : ed . ed : no , i really ca n't . what do you want me to say ? i quit . all right , i quit . i quit , i 'm calling it quits ! alan : the hell you are ! eden : tony , back off ! tony : eden , you ca n't go to bill with this . eden : if i asked him directly if the mob was involved , bill would tell me . tony : not if the answer was yes . ' forget his neck , he 'd want to protect you . what you do n't know can not hurt you . eden : and i refuse to believe that bill is involved with the mob . tony : what if he is , do you want to give him the heads up that we 're onto it ? eden : and what if this is a setup ? i 'm just supposed to sit back and do nothing ? that would suit you just fine . tony : how many times do i have to tell you that i do n't have to come between you and bill to have you , okay ? forget it , that 's not the point , the idea is to find out what 's going on at lewis . if you want to help bill , i do n't think you 'd have a problem if the shadow is wrong about it . eden : you know i 'll do anything to prove that . tony : okay , then you do what i tell you to do . eden : fine . tony : now , `` follow the crumbs , `` in my mind , means we have find out what 's going on , we have to check the files , contracts , permits , personnel files , everything , we need to get in that office . you know , we do n't , you do . eden : you love this , do n't you ? tony : i 'm not playing games , eden , i 'm not . if the mob has gotten into lewis , it 's going to bite my cousin and i will not let him go down for something bill did . eden : all bill did was try to help danny get elected for mayor . tony : you prove it , then . you start with the crew list , bring those to me , from that point i 'll be able to tell who 's connected , all right ? job one : find out where the personnel stuff is . eden : i already know . it 's in a storage room right off josh 's office . tony : so you already know , get the keys . eden : and how am i supposed to do that ? they 're in bill 's pockets . tony : you call yourself such a bad girl , forget it . i will show you . let 's go . brad : you see i 've always preferred vail over aspen , that 's why i bought my condominium there . it 's very cozy , very private . alexandra : speaking of privacy , may i have a word with mr. green alone . brad : ca n't this wait ? alexandra : of course not . it really ca n't , it 's about the action on the slopes , you see it could be very dangerous this time of year , you could say avalanche season . woman : maybe i should go . brad : oh , well , good - bye . it was just a friendly conversation . alexandra : yes , and we know exactly how friendly you can be . i thought you and i agreed that you 're requesting to fly low and avoid alan 's radar . brad : i have done nothing to put myself in alan 's radar . i have learned my lesson . i have reconciled with marie , and i 'm a changed man . what 's the matter , are you jealous ? alexandra : oh , please . that was then , this happens to be now . brad : well , then , what is all of this about ? alexandra : this is about you buying drinks for alan 's once and future daughter - in - law , harley cooper . brad : she 's a friend . period . alexandra : if you really need a friend , darling , you just buy a hamster , they know how to run in circles . now what did you tell her ? brad : nothing . although , i must say she was terribly interested in you . alexandra : you did n't tell her that you and i were once ... oh , my god . is there not one thing you can keep zipped up ? brad : i 'm sorry , it just came out . there was no harm done , i assure you . alexandra : we 'll see . i can tell you one thing , though . if alan finds out what we 've been up to , i 'm not the one that 's going down , i guarantee you that . beth : you know what would make this night perfect ? if mindy was here , right ? we were the four musketeers . would n't it be great to have her here ? rick : yeah , but we should probably get going . it 's getting late . beth : okay . rick : i do n't have to go anywhere if you do n't have to go anywhere . are you in a rush ? beth : no . i do n't have to go anywhere . you 're going to get better , phillip . rick : you have to get better . we need you to get better . a lot of people working . beth : he 's right . the kids miss you . and alan . he 's definitely not himself these days . buzz : stop this ! stop ! it 's a waste of time . you know where michelle is , if there 's even this much chance that she 's meeting with the person who shoved maryanne caruthers in our face , you got ta tell us . ed : this is a nightmare . alan : ed , where is michelle ? ed : fifth street museum . buzz : that 's where marina lives . she could be there , they could all be there . jeffrey : a little chilly for an open air discussion . alan : yes . we 're just leaving . gus : better luck next time . you know , maybe alan would prefer to have his spaulding pharmaceuticals shipped by dog sled . bill : in some ways , i 'm a lot like alan . i do n't give up and i do n't take no ' for an answer . see you around . jeffrey : hey . what 's up with your old man ? gus : what do you mean ? jeffrey : well , i can spot a guilty conscience at 50 yards , and something is eating away at your dear , old dad . michelle : i just want to know how much more they 're supposed to suffer . carrie : that 's entirely up to them . marina : but they were young then , they made a terrible mistake and they 've spent their entire adult lives with this secret . carrie : at least they had an adult life , that 's more than maryanne ever had . michelle : but they became good men and went onto raise families , heal the sick , give people food and shelter , build up the city . carrie : and that makes up for their terrible mistake ? michelle : yes . carrie : redemption is not a mathematical equation . do any of these men seem at peace , do they seem in control of their lives ? no . they ca n't wish away the past , any more than we can . marah : okay , then what am i supposed to wish for ? carrie : wish that your fathers will find some way to redeem themselves , at least in their own eyes , before they are completely destroyed . ( noise ) carrie : quickly , quickly . bill : well , this is an apology for not meeting me . eden : i 'm sorry . i did n't get your call until after i got home . i am so sorry , baby . i hate when we get our signals crossed . bill : are you all right ? eden : no . i am in love . bill : well , i do n't know what to say . maybe we should get our lines crossed more often . something wrong ? eden : no . i 'm tired of waiting . you believe in me , right ? what we are to each other ? bill : more than anything in this world . eden : then that 's all that matters . and nothing can hurt us . bill : come here . jeffrey : thank you , just what the doctor ordered . gus : thanks . perfect . just listen . my feeling is that alan is just a little upset about his stolen car . jeffrey : that thing was in the river for nearly 30 years . it ca n't be that important to a man like alan spaulding , right ? or can it ? gus : i would n't have given it a second thought to be honest with you , except for the fact that somehow or another he managed to forget that he filled out a police report . jeffrey : well , it was a long time ago . gus : no , he 's not the type of guy that would forget or forgive anybody for stealing something from him . jeffrey : `` not the type . `` gus : what ? jeffrey : i 'm just thinking about you , about your type . 100 % cop type . now you 're working for spaulding . i remember when i asked you , when you were on the force , if your partner ever committed a crime , whether you 'd turn him in or not , and you know what you told me , you told me you would take him down . i think those were the words , `` take him down . `` gus : not a very good character trait . maybe i should give a little more loyal to the people who -- jeffrey : it 's just the wiring . maybe we 're wired the same way . gus : that 's not very comforting . jeffrey : if a crime has been committed ... gus : that 's where you and i differ . i never said -- jeffrey : i never said a crime has been committed , either . alan spaulding , somebody who is so scrupulously careful about protecting himself , he gets forgetful , it becomes mess , and i know that bothers you . ed : marina ? michelle ? alan : you fool ! why did n't you run in when you had the chance ? buzz : where did they go ? michelle : this is where you live ? carrie : from now on , we 'll always meet here . i think it 's much , much safer . the rings first please . marah : there are no clocks here . carrie : there 's no need for clocks in this room . in this room , time stopped , after that night on cutter 's bridge . michelle : you make it sound like some sort of a spell was cast . carrie : yes , you might say that , it is a spell . a spell that only you three can break . marina : next on guiding light ... danny : bill , he 's great , he 's doing a great job , we 're working really well together . why ? tony : you trust him , danny ? michelle : what are you going to do ? rick : i 'm asking dad to leave the hospital . sandy : you hurt marah , you answer to me . | carrie gathers the three young women , wanting to know if their fathers and loved ones have demonstrated any regret or remorse , now that they 've received the second letters . marah and marina reluctantly admit that the letters have only heightened the tension and the cover - up . michelle is the last of the three to show up . she must first sneak out of the hospital to avoid ed 's suspicion . but ed follows her , tormented by the thought that she could be with the person who had dredged up all the painful history of maryanne caruthers . at the same time , he hates himself for following his daughter as if she were his enemy . when he vents his rage at buzz and alan , they are less than sympathetic ; and they insist ed take them to where he last saw michelle . but when they get there they are in for a surprise . earlier , alan and alex discuss their concern with the `` right of succession `` at spaulding , now that phillip 's mental health is an issue . alan clearly sees gus as his heir apparent much to alex 's dislike . and when gus and bill demonstrate a shared enthusiasm for a spaulding / lewis `` relationship , `` alan seems to be getting his wish . however , gus remains determined to return to the police force - where his natural curiosity causes him to doubt alan 's story about the stolen car . alex , meanwhile , chastised by gus for not keeping brad green on a tighter leash , seeks brad out and warns him that his womanizing could very well cost them everything they 've achieved even though what they 've achieved has not been entirely by honest means . their meeting with the shadow does not convince tony or eden that bill has done something corrupt . but it does tell tony that if eden truly loves bill it 's up to her to prove his innocence . eden is appalled tony wants her to spy on her lover ? but tony points out it 's the only way to clear bill 's name . and by the end of the evening , eden is in bill 's arms , knowing that to help him , she must betray his trust . | <s>[INST] tony : danny is done with the mob . and he sure as hell did not go bringing them into lewis , all right ? shadow : no , he did n't . bill did . eden : that is a lie . tony : do n't let him get a rise out of you . he 's nuts . everyone knows that bill is squeaky clean . shadow : bill is human with all the weaknesses , quirks and ambition that implies . is n't that right , ms. august ? bill : it 's not only power . it 's more like a sense of accomplishment . you know , josh , my dad , they put their faith in me and i delivered . _ eden : yes , you did . tried 200 % . _ bill : that 's right . that 's right . and now josh wants to bring in some stranger to micromanage and tell me how to do a better job . i mean , you can not do a better job that i 've been doing . eden : i agree . _ bill : so then why is he doing this ? _ tony : you know what , eden ? let 's go . this is crazy . let 's go . please . shadow : i noticed she 's listening . not to mix metaphors , but perhaps love is n't blind after all . ( laughs ) bill : well , like i said , getting you out of the dog house with eden is the most obvious reason we 'll be working together . gus : you 're not concerned about money or power ? nothing like that ? bill : no , no . yeah , of course not . not money and power . of course not . hey , did i tell you about the idea about the trucking ? gus : put it on hold . what ? buzz : you ... gus : hold a second . buzz : you put a bug in her ear . gus : i did n't put anything in harley 's ear . buzz : i 'm at death 's door ? gus : no . listen you said that you were n't going to be around . that 's what you said . buzz : i changed the menu . so i 'm dying ? gus : and then you said you changed the menu . buzz : the menu 's the same . go inside and check it out . gus : the menu has not changed in years . buzz : go . gus : am i wrong ? bill : whoa ! well , hey , man , we did just get here . so let me get some buzz burgers and talk you into sticking around over at spaulding . gus : yeah , i know what 's on your menu , pal . alexandra : oh , he had such an awful , blank look in his eyes . alan : alexandra , that does not mean phillip is not going to recover . alexandra : well , have you honestly seen any improvement in him ? alan : you know , i think you saw him on a very bad day . now , it is possible that he wo n't resume control of spaulding and i think you and i have to prepare for that . alexandra : well , i can see your suggestion right now . you 'd become permanent ceo . alan : you know this may come as a surprise to you , but i am very happy as senior consultant . alexandra : you mean puppet master . well , whatever happens , it 's obvious that spaulding enterprises must be run by a member of the family . alan : ( laughs ) on that point , alexandra , i could n't agree with you more . rick : hey . beth : hey . i brought cook 's potato leek soup . you ? rick : i made the much more manly choice . i got him chilly fries and soda tonight . come here often ? beth : yeah , as matter of fact i do . i try to stop by late at night when nobody else is around . and sometimes he 's better . i talk to him a little . rick : well , that 's good , beth . i mean that has to be good for him . beth : i hope so . oh , rick , it 's so strange . even with phillip like this , i still look to him when i want to feel safe . old habits , huh ? rick : of course . beth : so what are you doing here so late ? rick : i was working late at the hospital . shayne lewis took his first steps tonight . so , i mean that 's obviously a big step for the family . beth : that 's wonderful . rick : you know , beth , i was actually wishing i could call my buddy up and meet him at the county club for a beer , you know , talk about family stuff . you know , all the times i 'd wish he 'd keep his damn opinions to himself , right now i 'd give anything for him to tell me what to do . marina : i still ca n't believe that shayne walked . i mean , he walked . marah : he 's not going to look back , either . i guess sort of like my dad and buzz . marina : where is she anyway ? carrie ? marah : we got your message . what was so important that you needed us to come here ? marina : i know , we ditched a serious celebration with shayne to come meet you . marah : could n't it have waited ? carrie : as a matter of fact , it could n't . marina : you always sneak up on us like this . carrie : forgive me . it 's an irresistible urge . marina : shayne walked tonight . carrie : well , of course he did . is n't that what you wished for ? marina : you know that i did . carrie : well , in lieu of thanks , what about a little enthusiasm as oppose to all this grumbling ? where 's michelle ? when i call the three of you , i expect to see the three of you . michelle : hey , dr. raj , could you do me a favor ? could you cover for me for , like , an hour or so ? because there 's something i have to take care of . dr. raj : no problem . michelle : thank you . i really appreciate it . ed : busy ? michelle : i thought you changed your schedule so we would n't bump into each like this . ed : i 'm just working late tonight . i saw ... i saw shayne lewis take his first steps . michelle : yeah , i heard about that . that 's really wonderful news . ed : is that still painful ? michelle : physically or emotionally ? dad , there 's a patient that i am concerned about and i was hoping you could give me your opinion on it . ed : sure . i mean if there 's anything i could help you with ... ( pager beeps ) ed : it 's an outside call . call for michelle bauer ? carrie : where are you , michelle ? we need a fourth . and it 's not for bridge . michelle : i 'm glad to hear that you 're responding to treatment . carrie : you 're not alone ? michelle : that 's right . carrie : you 're with your father . michelle : right again . i wish that all my patients paid as much attention to detail as you do . carrie : marah and marina are already here . michelle : they are ... carrie : it is n't very complicated , michelle . we 're at a crossroads . we can not go forward without you . get rid of whatever you 're doing . i want to see you here now . michelle : okay , well , keep up the good work . ed : it sounded positive . michelle : yeah , actually it was the patient that i was talking to you about . she seemed to have turned the corner all by herself . ed : well , i 'm sure you had something to do with that . i mean you 've got such a gift for healing . michelle : i try . well , it 's going to be a really busy night , so i 'd better get to it . ed : okay . hey . do n't you know when to go home ? i thought you shifted ended , what , twenty minutes ago ? dr. raj : i 'm doing your daughter a favor . ed : michelle ? what kind of a favor ? what do you mean ? dr. raj : she did n't tell you ? she 's going out for awhile . but do n't worry , i 'm covering for her . carrie : what did your father and your uncle say when you gave them the second letters ? marah : what do you think they said ? they were shocked . carrie : and what happened when you told him that you knew the truth about what happened to maryanne ? did they admit their responsibility ? marah : no . no , uncle billy said that it never happened . carrie : and you father ? marah : nothing . he could n't even look at me . he just looked away . carrie : well , that at least proves he has a conscious . so shayne walked again . well , that 's a gift . a gift to both of you . that 's more than maryanne ever had . she never drew another breath . and your grandfather knows that . what did he say to you ? marina : he said that someone was trying to use me . carrie : and you believe that ? do you believe that i am lying to you ? marina : no . carrie : and you ? do you believe that i am lying to you ? marah : no . marina : he asked me who had been talking to me . i do n't know . it was just like the look on his face , you know , i never seen anything like that before . his eyes went like icy cold . marah : yeah , the same with my uncle billy . carrie : that 's the way some men are when they 're cornered . that makes them extremely dangerous . ( phone rings ) buzz : hello ? ed : buzz , we 're in trouble . buzz : ed , what 's wrong ? ed : michelle just lied to me . she lied about what was happening . buzz : where are you now ? ed : i 'm at the hospital . now listen she told me that she had kind of a busy schedule tonight , but then as it turns out she asked someone to cover for her and uh ... so she could go out for awhile , you know . where 's marina ? buzz : i do n't ... probably celebrating with shayne . ed : no , see , i do n't think so . josh and reva drove off with shayne . marina 's with marah . they got into marah 's car and they drove off together and they drove off really fast in another direction . buzz : where is michelle now ? ed : well , i do n't know . she 's probably going out to the parking lot . she 's got to check out first . buzz : ed , follow her . she can lead us to the person that 's squeezing us . ed : buzz , i do n't know anything about following people . buzz : damn it , i 'd go across the street myself , but she 's probably gone . ed : this is insane . buzz : ed , you have a cell phone . if there 's a snag , call . now go . alan : well , well , well , look who 's here . gus : hello . alan : what is this , boys ' night out ? a bowling league ? a poker game , maybe ? gus : no , we 're actually talking shop . alan : one of my favorite expressions . bill : here you go , folks . i hope danny can count on your vote come election day . alexandra : whoa ! well , actually i have n't ... i 'm still undecided . bill : undecided . well , we got to change that . danny santos is the best friend the business community in this town could ask for . gus : he also has something else up his sleeve , an idea to put spaulding and lewis together . bill : yeah , thanks . thanks , gus . gus and i were talking about making it ongoing instead of on a project - to - project basis . gus : not that i 'll be around to , you know , see it come to ... i 'm going to go back to the force next week . alan : but in the meantime , you think bill is on to something here ? gus : well , i got some great ideas for spaulding pharmaceuticals . alexandra : which happens to be my division . bill : is that right ? alexandra : uh - huh . gus : why do n't you just listen , auntie alexandra . because he 's got some good ideas that 's going to save the company a lot of money . bill : yeah , here it goes . take a look at this . and keep this guy around here . i 'm sure we can come up with a lot of ways to save you a bunch of money , goose up that bottom line of yours . eden : first you say danny and bill are in danger and then you say bill is the danger . which one is it ? shadow : let me paint you a little picture . imagine the fifth street project as a company picnic thrown by danny santos and lewis construction . everybody 's happy , having a good time . eden : and plenty of goodies to go around . shadow : exactly . then somebody drops a bread crumb , a single crumb . maybe by accident , maybe not . either way , nobody notices until the first rat shows up and then another and then another . pretty soon the whole place is overrun . tony : that 's nice . shadow : the point is , if you follow the crumbs , you will find the rats . cop : who 's there ? hey , what 's going on here ? hey , break it up . tony : sorry , officer . i just got a little carried away . ( laughs ) cop : well , sorry to disturb you . i just wanted to make sure everybody was okay . tony : well , we are . thank you . cop : all right . eden : was that necessary ? tony : probably not , but i 'm not very good with imagination , so ... eden : you know , the only reason i am here with you is because i thought we were helping danny and bill . and now i am not so sure . tony : why not ? eden : why not ? is n't there a tiny little part in your brain that is wondering whether we 're being set up ? tony : set up to what ? to hurt danny and bill ? no , eden . if that ... look at me . if that was the idea , okay , the shadow could easily ... already gone to the cops . all right , i think he 's on the level about what he 's telling us . it does n't take a genius to figure out that he means the rats and mob have already got into lewis construction . all right , now as far as the crumbs , i just ... eden : we do n't need that . tony : wait . where ... where are you going ? eden : i am going home . the fastest and easiest way to find if the mob has a hold on lewis is to ask bill directly . tony : you 're not going anywhere , okay . alan : bill , i like the way you think . but , unfortunately , i 'm going to have to pass on your proposal . bill : you mean a twenty - five percent lower shipping cost ? that does n't interest you ? alan : well , what we would save with your trucking firm , we would compromise on security . bill : no , no , no , no . this outfit is completely reliable . alan : well , for ordinary commodities . but , you see , pharmaceuticals are a primary target of industrial espionage . and our competitors are looking for our weak spots . gus : so then you 're saying that spaulding securities can never go to an outside source ? alan : precisely . alexandra : look , you know fresh new ideas are always welcomed except that there 's no substitute for experience . gus : talk about experience , guess who i ran into ? at olivia 's bar , brad green , mr . experience , himself . alan : and ? gus : and he was with a woman that was n't his wife . alexandra : he gets his work done . he does . gus : mm - hmm . i just thought that 's the way he got in trouble before . but you know , that 's what you 're saying , then i guess it 's okay . especially because the woman was harley . that 's who he was trying to buy drinks for and feed her oysters . but lucky for him , she 's not a bimbo . alexandra : excuse me , gentlemen , but i think i 'm getting a headache . alan : and its name is brad green . buzz : come on , ed , call . alexandra : buzz ? what are you doing out here in the cold ? buzz : well , i was sweeping up . and now i guess i 'm looking at the stars . alexandra : ( laughs ) beautiful , since it 's completely clouded over . buzz : well , that 's what makes it a challenge . alexandra : yeah . buzz , what is wrong , for pete 's sake ? you 've ... you 've been like this for weeks . buzz : nothing 's ever perfect . marina : are you trying to scare us ? my grandfather is n't dangerous . carrie : then you must have been mistaken when you saw that cold look in his eyes . marina : we gave them every chance to tell the truth . carrie : oh , my dear , when you were a tiny child and you did something wrong , broke a tea cup or spilled your mommy 's perfume , your parents told you to tell the truth . always tell the truth and everything will be forgiven . but you 're a grown woman now . you know things are not that simple . michelle : hi . sorry i 'm late . carrie : are you sure you were n't followed ? michelle : followed by who ? my dad ? carrie : well , he struck you . following you would be child 's play . michelle : no , nobody followed me . carrie : but you were on the phone with your father when i spoke to you . michelle : i lied to him so he would n't see me leave the hospital . ask me how i feel about it . carrie : michelle , i am not the enemy . michelle : well , that 's the one thing i am not so sure about sometimes . ed : yeah , it 's me . buzz : where is she ? ed : she 's right across the street . buzz : great . do n't lose her . ed : it 's a little late for that , buzz . michelle : look my dad was upset , okay . carrie : and violent . michelle : he lost control for a second , because i pushed him too far . carrie : oh , well , that explains everything . maryanne must have pushed him too far the night that she died . it 's always so convenient when you blame the victim . marah : you know what ? i hate this . i really , really hate this . it all started out so innocently . you know , `` wish on some magic rings , girls , and all will be well . `` well , i still have a wish . and i want all of this to go away . carrie : which part do you want to go away ? the part where maryanne got into the car with your father , or the part where i told you about it ? marah : either one would be convenient for me . michelle : so where are the rings ? marina : yeah , is n't marah entitled to her wish ? carrie : well , of course she is . but remember , these rings have great power and with power comes danger . so before you decide , think carefully about what you want and what you stand to gain and what you stand to lose . be careful what you wish for ' still applies . you might want to wish away that night , the car , the river . but what else might change ? you father might never have married your mother . you and brother might never have been born . ed might never have continued to be a doctor in springfield . buzz might not never have returned . only one thing is certain . change one thing in time , you risk changing them all . marah : well , i could still wish we never met you . carrie : yes , but what about the other wishes , the ones that came true ? the ones from marina and the ones from michelle ? danny might still be mired in his own life , shayne might be always confined to a wheelchair . be careful . when you wish away the bad , you might lose the good . marah : then how are we supposed to help the people that we love ? they 're in agony because of stuff that we have stirred up . marina : but you 're blaming the wrong people . marah : the car crash was an accident . carrie : a cover - up was a choice . michelle : but they thought it was their best choice . carrie : they made that pact on the river bank that night . when they had comparatively nothing to lose . what choice would they make now when they have everything to lose ? rick : you would have been so proud , the man in charge , he was telling all the rest of the children what to do , he was completely a chip off the old spaulding block . beth : what did he say to you ? rick : he said , `` i 'm going to be boss , just like my daddy . `` beth : yes , it 's true , i was there , you should be very proud . rick : but the kids , they were sick of it , there was this big overthrow your son is going to be quite the corporate kid some day , i hope . beth : and i always thought it would be lizzie to take over the company . but maybe they can work together . would n't that be nice for a change ? like the bauers . rick : oh , please , not the bauers , we 're not playing very well these days . beth : what 's going on ? rick : i do n't know , my dad and michelle are just , i do n't know , i do n't know what to say , i have no clue what 's going on . beth : you know , i saw ed not too long ago , he seemed kind of lonely to me . rick : he is lonely , but you know my dad , some of this loneliness is self- inflicted , he makes life difficult on himself and sometimes he throws that ... parents . what are we going to do ? some day our kids are going to roll their eyes at us just like we did with alan and lillian and my dad . bill : okay , alan , maybe you did n't like this idea , but there will be others . in the mean time , keep this guy around , very smart , makes a great sounding board . gus : i got ta say , it 's not that i do n't like the corporate life , i do , i quite like it . i miss my job , i miss solving riddles and putting the bits and pieces together , like your stolen car , for example . bill : when did this happen ? gus : oh , 30 years ago , but it was just recovered last week . bill : wait , the one they pulled out of the river ? gus : that 's the one . alan : i thought we had settled this . gus : we did settle this , it 's just that alan : then what 's the problem ? gus : i looked into it a little further and turns out that you were the one that filed the police report . but there is n't a problem . alan : i do n't see a problem . gus : there is n't a problem at all , i just find it interesting that you managed to forget the police report . bill : sounds like something my dad would have done back in his drinking days . alan : i was n't drunk , i just do n't remember , that 's all . gus : it 's fine , i believe you . alan : well , i hope we can put this to rest then . gentlemen , i 'm sorry , but i have to run . and thanks for the pen . bill : guess you touched a nerve , huh ? gus : guess i did . buzz : ed , ed ? alan : what 's the matter ? buzz : michelle might have met up with the letter writer , ed was following her . alan : where ? ed : you did n't lose the connection , i hung up . okay , look , guys , i ca n't do this any more . buzz : ed . ed : no , i really ca n't . what do you want me to say ? i quit . all right , i quit . i quit , i 'm calling it quits ! alan : the hell you are ! eden : tony , back off ! tony : eden , you ca n't go to bill with this . eden : if i asked him directly if the mob was involved , bill would tell me . tony : not if the answer was yes . ' forget his neck , he 'd want to protect you . what you do n't know can not hurt you . eden : and i refuse to believe that bill is involved with the mob . tony : what if he is , do you want to give him the heads up that we 're onto it ? eden : and what if this is a setup ? i 'm just supposed to sit back and do nothing ? that would suit you just fine . tony : how many times do i have to tell you that i do n't have to come between you and bill to have you , okay ? forget it , that 's not the point , the idea is to find out what 's going on at lewis . if you want to help bill , i do n't think you 'd have a problem if the shadow is wrong about it . eden : you know i 'll do anything to prove that . tony : okay , then you do what i tell you to do . eden : fine . tony : now , `` follow the crumbs , `` in my mind , means we have find out what 's going on , we have to check the files , contracts , permits , personnel files , everything , we need to get in that office . you know , we do n't , you do . eden : you love this , do n't you ? tony : i 'm not playing games , eden , i 'm not . if the mob has gotten into lewis , it 's going to bite my cousin and i will not let him go down for something bill did . eden : all bill did was try to help danny get elected for mayor . tony : you prove it , then . you start with the crew list , bring those to me , from that point i 'll be able to tell who 's connected , all right ? job one : find out where the personnel stuff is . eden : i already know . it 's in a storage room right off josh 's office . tony : so you already know , get the keys . eden : and how am i supposed to do that ? they 're in bill 's pockets . tony : you call yourself such a bad girl , forget it . i will show you . let 's go . brad : you see i 've always preferred vail over aspen , that 's why i bought my condominium there . it 's very cozy , very private . alexandra : speaking of privacy , may i have a word with mr. green alone . brad : ca n't this wait ? alexandra : of course not . it really ca n't , it 's about the action on the slopes , you see it could be very dangerous this time of year , you could say avalanche season . woman : maybe i should go . brad : oh , well , good - bye . it was just a friendly conversation . alexandra : yes , and we know exactly how friendly you can be . i thought you and i agreed that you 're requesting to fly low and avoid alan 's radar . brad : i have done nothing to put myself in alan 's radar . i have learned my lesson . i have reconciled with marie , and i 'm a changed man . what 's the matter , are you jealous ? alexandra : oh , please . that was then , this happens to be now . brad : well , then , what is all of this about ? alexandra : this is about you buying drinks for alan 's once and future daughter - in - law , harley cooper . brad : she 's a friend . period . alexandra : if you really need a friend , darling , you just buy a hamster , they know how to run in circles . now what did you tell her ? brad : nothing . although , i must say she was terribly interested in you . alexandra : you did n't tell her that you and i were once ... oh , my god . is there not one thing you can keep zipped up ? brad : i 'm sorry , it just came out . there was no harm done , i assure you . alexandra : we 'll see . i can tell you one thing , though . if alan finds out what we 've been up to , i 'm not the one that 's going down , i guarantee you that . beth : you know what would make this night perfect ? if mindy was here , right ? we were the four musketeers . would n't it be great to have her here ? rick : yeah , but we should probably get going . it 's getting late . beth : okay . rick : i do n't have to go anywhere if you do n't have to go anywhere . are you in a rush ? beth : no . i do n't have to go anywhere . you 're going to get better , phillip . rick : you have to get better . we need you to get better . a lot of people working . beth : he 's right . the kids miss you . and alan . he 's definitely not himself these days . buzz : stop this ! stop ! it 's a waste of time . you know where michelle is , if there 's even this much chance that she 's meeting with the person who shoved maryanne caruthers in our face , you got ta tell us . ed : this is a nightmare . alan : ed , where is michelle ? ed : fifth street museum . buzz : that 's where marina lives . she could be there , they could all be there . jeffrey : a little chilly for an open air discussion . alan : yes . we 're just leaving . gus : better luck next time . you know , maybe alan would prefer to have his spaulding pharmaceuticals shipped by dog sled . bill : in some ways , i 'm a lot like alan . i do n't give up and i do n't take no ' for an answer . see you around . jeffrey : hey . what 's up with your old man ? gus : what do you mean ? jeffrey : well , i can spot a guilty conscience at 50 yards , and something is eating away at your dear , old dad . michelle : i just want to know how much more they 're supposed to suffer . carrie : that 's entirely up to them . marina : but they were young then , they made a terrible mistake and they 've spent their entire adult lives with this secret . carrie : at least they had an adult life , that 's more than maryanne ever had . michelle : but they became good men and went onto raise families , heal the sick , give people food and shelter , build up the city . carrie : and that makes up for their terrible mistake ? michelle : yes . carrie : redemption is not a mathematical equation . do any of these men seem at peace , do they seem in control of their lives ? no . they ca n't wish away the past , any more than we can . marah : okay , then what am i supposed to wish for ? carrie : wish that your fathers will find some way to redeem themselves , at least in their own eyes , before they are completely destroyed . ( noise ) carrie : quickly , quickly . bill : well , this is an apology for not meeting me . eden : i 'm sorry . i did n't get your call until after i got home . i am so sorry , baby . i hate when we get our signals crossed . bill : are you all right ? eden : no . i am in love . bill : well , i do n't know what to say . maybe we should get our lines crossed more often . something wrong ? eden : no . i 'm tired of waiting . you believe in me , right ? what we are to each other ? bill : more than anything in this world . eden : then that 's all that matters . and nothing can hurt us . bill : come here . jeffrey : thank you , just what the doctor ordered . gus : thanks . perfect . just listen . my feeling is that alan is just a little upset about his stolen car . jeffrey : that thing was in the river for nearly 30 years . it ca n't be that important to a man like alan spaulding , right ? or can it ? gus : i would n't have given it a second thought to be honest with you , except for the fact that somehow or another he managed to forget that he filled out a police report . jeffrey : well , it was a long time ago . gus : no , he 's not the type of guy that would forget or forgive anybody for stealing something from him . jeffrey : `` not the type . `` gus : what ? jeffrey : i 'm just thinking about you , about your type . 100 % cop type . now you 're working for spaulding . i remember when i asked you , when you were on the force , if your partner ever committed a crime , whether you 'd turn him in or not , and you know what you told me , you told me you would take him down . i think those were the words , `` take him down . `` gus : not a very good character trait . maybe i should give a little more loyal to the people who -- jeffrey : it 's just the wiring . maybe we 're wired the same way . gus : that 's not very comforting . jeffrey : if a crime has been committed ... gus : that 's where you and i differ . i never said -- jeffrey : i never said a crime has been committed , either . alan spaulding , somebody who is so scrupulously careful about protecting himself , he gets forgetful , it becomes mess , and i know that bothers you . ed : marina ? michelle ? alan : you fool ! why did n't you run in when you had the chance ? buzz : where did they go ? michelle : this is where you live ? carrie : from now on , we 'll always meet here . i think it 's much , much safer . the rings first please . marah : there are no clocks here . carrie : there 's no need for clocks in this room . in this room , time stopped , after that night on cutter 's bridge . michelle : you make it sound like some sort of a spell was cast . carrie : yes , you might say that , it is a spell . a spell that only you three can break . marina : next on guiding light ... danny : bill , he 's great , he 's doing a great job , we 're working really well together . why ? tony : you trust him , danny ? michelle : what are you going to do ? rick : i 'm asking dad to leave the hospital . sandy : you hurt marah , you answer to me .Summarize.[/INST]carrie gathers the three young women , wanting to know if their fathers and loved ones have demonstrated any regret or remorse , now that they 've received the second letters . marah and marina reluctantly admit that the letters have only heightened the tension and the cover - up . michelle is the last of the three to show up . she must first sneak out of the hospital to avoid ed 's suspicion . but ed follows her , tormented by the thought that she could be with the person who had dredged up all the painful history of maryanne caruthers . at the same time , he hates himself for following his daughter as if she were his enemy . when he vents his rage at buzz and alan , they are less than sympathetic ; and they insist ed take them to where he last saw michelle . but when they get there they are in for a surprise . earlier , alan and alex discuss their concern with the `` right of succession `` at spaulding , now that phillip 's mental health is an issue . alan clearly sees gus as his heir apparent much to alex 's dislike . and when gus and bill demonstrate a shared enthusiasm for a spaulding / lewis `` relationship , `` alan seems to be getting his wish . however , gus remains determined to return to the police force - where his natural curiosity causes him to doubt alan 's story about the stolen car . alex , meanwhile , chastised by gus for not keeping brad green on a tighter leash , seeks brad out and warns him that his womanizing could very well cost them everything they 've achieved even though what they 've achieved has not been entirely by honest means . their meeting with the shadow does not convince tony or eden that bill has done something corrupt . but it does tell tony that if eden truly loves bill it 's up to her to prove his innocence . eden is appalled tony wants her to spy on her lover ? but tony points out it 's the only way to clear bill 's name . and by the end of the evening , eden is in bill 's arms , knowing that to help him , she must betray his trust .</s> | 12,364 |

[ scene_break ] ava : what the heck is this `` new dna test `` baloney , huh ? scott : there 's no baloney here , ms. demuccio . or should i say ms. jerome ? because this test will prove that you and ava jerome are the same person . ava : you know something -- you 've been watching too many sci - fi flicks . ava is dead . i 'm denise . and anything that says otherwise is a lie . scott : i have hard - core proof , ava . ava : yeah , what do you got ? a magic eight ball ? scott : the evidence in my possession will prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that the only liar here is you . that ava jerome is alive and well , and you are her . [ scene_break ] maxie : um ... why would silas kidnap ava 's baby ? nathan : i have no idea . maxie : nina did n't say ? okay . um , well , nina and silas have always had a complicated relationship , to say the least , so maybe -- maybe she 's just trying to get back at him or something . nathan : yeah , but he 's dead . what would be the point ? maxie : is there ever a point when nina 's concerned ? i mean , she kind of just does things on impulse . nathan : or loses her mind . maxie : or that . nathan : yeah . look , i know ... i know that nina does some pretty crazy stuff . maxie : really crazy . nathan : i know . and i know she 's got a vengeful streak , all right ? but she 's been getting better lately , and her and silas were finally starting to get to a decent place . maxie : so you do n't think she 's lying . okay , well [ sighs ] if nina would n't give you a reason why silas would take avery -- nathan : no , it 's not that she would n't . it 's that she refuses to tell me . maxie : why ? nathan : because franco made her promise not to . maxie : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] ava : you think you got me nailed , do n't you ? scott : i know i do . ava : based on what ? your so - called evidence ? scott : that 's right . ava : and we 're supposed to , what , just take your word for it ? if you got evidence , i want to know where it came from .

[ sighs ] that 's a good question . i think i 'd be better once franco 's trial is over . alexis : yeah . poor kiki . sam : yeah , i know . it 's awful , is n't it ? alexis : yeah . her father 's murdered , the guy she thought was her father 's accused , and her aunt is subpoenaed . sam : wait , what ? denise ? what does she have to do with this ? alexis : i guess they think there 's some importance to her testimony . the defense feels that way . i hope it does n't let franco off the hook . sam : [ sighs ] alexis : unless that 's what you want . sam : mom , what i want is for silas ' killer to rot in prison for the rest of their life . alexis : and you 're not sure that person is franco ? sam : i mean , i - i thought -- i thought i was sure , at first , but then i talked to kiki , and she did n't seem to be convinced . she thinks that someone else is responsible . [ scene_break ] maxie : if nina promised franco that she would n't tell you why silas kidnapped avery , there can only be one reason . she 's protecting franco . nathan : i know . and i said as much , and she still gave me nothing . i just want her to trust me . maxie : that 'll just take time . nathan : i know . and i thought we were getting there . especially after she confided in me about madeline . maxie : oof . what about her ? nathan : well , apparently she has been trying to get nina to sign this . this is consent that basically grants her and ric unfettered access to nina 's inheritance . maxie : are you serious ? nathan : yeah . apparently madeline thought she could get away with this while everybody was preoccupied with franco 's trial . maxie : wow . and i thought your biological mother was bad . but at least obrecht actually cares about people other than herself . nathan : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] dr. obrecht : if scott baldwin calls , drop everything and find me . elizabeth : will do . what was that about ? patrick : i have no idea . dr. obrecht : what is taking him so long ? i gave baldwin everything he needed .

[ scene_break ] scott : you and silas cooked up quite a scheme , did n't you ? ava : no , we did n't . this is insane . scott : so insane that it almost worked . except for silas ' conscience . he , unlike you , could n't stand to see your daughter kiki in pain . the pain that the two of you caused her making her believe that her mother was dead . who does that ? ava : this is -- this has got to be badgering . no ? ric : if ava jerome is indeed alive , then she faces trial for the murder of connie falconeri . the people have no problem with this line of questioning , your honor . ava : well , i do . scott : well , this will all be over when you tell the truth . tell the court what we already know , ava . that you were indifferent towards your daughter 's feelings . you did n't care about her tears , her pain , her grief . ava : that is not true . scott : oh , yes it was . as long as you were in the clear , you did n't care whether she cried herself to sleep at night . what a price to pay for your freedom , huh ? ava : [ dropping the fake accent ] you think i do n't care ? ! you think i do n't love her ? ! that girl is my heart and soul . everything i 've done , i 've done for her , i 've done for kiki and her sister . i came back here , so i could be with them . scott : who came back ? who came back ? i need verbal confirmation here . who came back for those girls ? was it denise demuccio , or was it ava jerome ? ava : ava ! ava ! damn it ! i 'm ava jerome .

'cause this is what this all is all about , is n't it ? grandstanding so sooner or later she will see the light ? but you know what ? here 's one thing . here 's one thing you do n't know about alexis . julian : do n't lecture me about my girlfriend , all right ? sonny : i think you need to hear this , jules . alexis is a very intelligent woman . she 's only gon na let you lie to her for so long . she builds cases . she draws conclusions . sooner or later , she 's gon na find out that you 're lying ... and you are screwed . she 's not only gon na kick you to the curb , she 's gon na turn on you .

[ chuckles ] patrick : is it ridiculous ? elizabeth : what do you mean by that ? patrick : i do n't -- i do n't mean anything . i 'm just asking if you are overwhelmed , or you 're having any misgivings that maybe you should listen to . elizabeth : so much for being happy for me . patrick : no , no , i am happy for you . i 'm happy if jake 's the right guy . elizabeth : `` if `` ? what do you [ scoffs ] what do you mean `` if `` ? i thought you were over your little issues with him . patrick : i am , because ... you know , because it 's important to you . and jake has done some nice things . i mean , he 's great with the kids . elizabeth : and with me . patrick : yes . [ sighs ] but the fact remains we do n't know who he is or where he comes from or what his past is like . we do know that he 's capable of some pretty violent acts . elizabeth : because helena conditioned him to be . patrick : i know that . i understand that . but we 're talking about , you know , making bombs and shooting police officers and taking hostages . that 's -- that 's pretty dangerous , elizabeth . that 's a skill set that you learn . elizabeth : so ... patrick : so i 'm just saying that the life that he came from probably -- you know , that was part of it . preparation goes into learning how to do those skills , and so i want you to know what you 're getting into . i 'm not talking about a knock on the door and it 's an old girlfriend or an ex - wife or something . we 're talking about dangerous people knocking on your door . elizabeth : so what am i supposed to do ? just put my life on hold until i know something that i may never know ? patrick : no . i just want you to be safe . elizabeth : and jake has protected me from the moment i met him . i did n't run after he proposed to me , because i question who he is . he caught me off guard . okay ? i 'm -- i 'm scared . i mean , let 's face it , my track record 's abysmal when it comes to relationships , right ? so i just needed some time to myself , and i - i went to the chapel . patrick : okay . elizabeth : and sam happened to be there , and she actually was the one who told me i should n't close myself off because of the past . that i 've been given a second chance , and i should take it . patrick : okay . elizabeth : okay ? patrick : yes . okay . you 're my best friend , okay ? you 're family to me . so if this is what you want , i trust you . and i trust sam . so , you 're on board , i 'm on board . elizabeth : thank you . patrick : congratulations . i 'm happy for you . elizabeth : and when am i gon na get to say the same to you ? you guys live together . you and sam are in love . come one . when are you gon na propose to her ? [ scene_break ] sam : i - i had to move on with my life after jason died , and silas helped me see that . he helped me believe that i could love again . alexis : just ask patrick . sam : i know . i will be forever grateful to silas for that . alexis : me too . sam : he deserved so much more , mom . alexis : all right , so , let 's hope that the scales are balanced at least just a tiny bit right now in court .

[ scene_break ] philly : he 's unarmed . sonny : thank you , philly . um ... i 'll let you know if i need anything . you go ahead and go . are n't you violating your bail associating with the likes of me ? julian : actually , i am . sonny : oh , then it must be important . what do i owe this honor ? oh , hold on . let me guess . yo you 're soliciting donations for your legal - defense fund . or you 're here to protest your innocence . or maybe ... ... maybe you just decided to confess your sins . julian : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] alexis : do i believe julian ? how about you go first . do you believe him ? sam : me ? um ... well , i have n't seen him since his arrest , so i do n't know his side of the story . alexis : so you think there 's two sides of the story ? sam : yeah . are n't there always ? alexis : okay . so , you think he 's capable of lying to everyone ... sam : [ scoffs ] alexis : ... and , uh , gunning for sonny ? sam : i think he 's capable of anything , mom . this is julian we 're talking about . we know exactly what he 's done and what he has n't done . i mean , this is the man that used my child as a shield against sonny . alexis : [ sighs ] that was bad . sam : yeah . alexis : do you think that he would ever do that again ? i do n't . i know he loves danny . sam : no , i know he loves danny , too . i agree . he has come a long way since he first got to town . alexis : see , that 's the question that 'll always be there . how long of a way ? sam : if you 're looking for a guarantee that julian is telling you the truth , i - i ca n't give you that . but i do n't think anyone can . maybe -- maybe he ca n't even . alexis : so , all i 've got are my instincts . sam : yeah . alexis : which are not very dependable . or i just go on faith , and i 'm not very good at that . sam : well [ sighs ] you 're not gon na do that anyway . and this ... this does n't mean that julian 's not telling you the truth . what do your instincts say ? alexis : my instincts say that he 's telling me the truth . so i 'm an idiot . sam : no . far from it . it does look bad for julian , with this guy they 've got in custody saying that he 's his boss . julian 's saying that 's not true . so if i keep second - guessing everything he says , i 'm gon na drive myself insane . so i 'm just going to trust him until he proves otherwise . no matter what sonny says . [ scene_break ] julian : [ chuckles ] so , you want me to -- you want me to confess to being back in the business . sonny : well , technically , to never leaving . and as a gesture of goodwill , i wo n't say anything . julian : that 's big of you . sonny : yeah , well , the cops wo n't have to know , alexis wo n't have to know . but here 's the thing . [ clears throat ] we 're gon na have a new understanding . julian : oh , well , thank you . and , uh , so what 's our new understanding ? sonny : from then on ... julian : mm - hmm ? sonny : ... you report to me . julian : [ laughs ] so , i 'll -- i 'll be kissing your ring , huh ? sonny : if that 's what you want to call it . julian : mm - hmm . sonny : you know , confess your sins and all will be forgiven . and then , 'cause i 'm a nice guy , i 'll do something else for you . i 'll take care of your loyalty problem . julian : loyalty problem . i was n't aware i had a loyalty problem . sonny : no ? what about the rat at the pcpd ? the one who rolled on you to the cops ? i will exterminate him free of charge . julian : you are a son of a bitch . i knew it . it was you all along . you set me up . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : so , do you want this ? dr. obrecht : nein . i got what i needed out of it . good afternoon , herr baldwin . scott : chief obrecht ? dr. obrecht : i need to see you . scott : i - i ca n't talk right now . my son 's trial is taking a beating . morgan corinthos just testified that franco tried to kill him with the same knife he used on dr. clay . dr. obrecht : that 's not good . scott : you think ? i 've got to get back in and try and save his life . dr. obrecht : then i suggest you get to the hospital immediately . scott : you 're not listening . franco is in big trouble . dr. obrecht : and i have information to get him out of it . elizabeth : are you sure you do n't want to hold onto this ? i can store it for you . dr. obrecht : not necessary . please discard it . elizabeth : okay . dr. obrecht : i 'd rather not have it traced back to me . [ scene_break ] judge chua : enough tap dancing , counselor . divulge the origin of your evidence or move on to another line of questioning . scott : brad cooper , the lab manager at general hospital , ran the tests . judge chua : and the samples ? scott : well , the hospital records will confirm their authenticity . this woman 's dna is identical to that of ava jerome , which means -- ava : which means nothing , your honor . and so what ? so my mother lied about my birth again ? not the first time . probably wo n't be the last . judge chua : what are you implying , ms. demuccio ? scott : ms. jerome . ric : saying it repeatedly does n't necessarily make it true , scott . scott : maybe not , ric . but this will . i 'd like to enter into evidence the dna test that was performed on ms. demuccio in may . it was a blood smear . and then in august , there was a dna test that was a saliva test . and even though they 're from the same person , it does n't match . judge chua : make your point , mr. baldwin . as simply and coherently as possible . scott : apparently , the dna in your hair , skin , and saliva ca n't change . but the dna in your blood can change , especially when you 've received a bone- marrow transplant . and in mrs. jerome 's case , it was from her daughter avery jerome . [ spectators murmur ] kiki : what is he saying ? scott : so , let 's start at the beginning , shall we ? you survived your fall off the port charles bridge , only to be nursed back to life by dr. silas clay , who then discovered that you had cancer . ric : your honor , is counsel asking the witness or is he telling her ? scott : is that a yes or a no ? ava : no . scott : silas then figured out the only way to save your life was through a bone - marrow transplant . ric : again , still not hearing a question . judge chua : i 'll allow it . but get where you 're going , and quick , counselor . scott : dr. clay knew who you were all along , did n't he ? ava : no . scott : and that secret became too much weight on him , and he was gon na tell the world , and the only way to silence him was to murder him . right ? [ scene_break ] sonny : can not believe -- you saying i 'm setting you up ? julian : oh ... this makes sense . sonny : in what universe ? julian : the one where you vowed to avenge duke 's death . sonny : no , you 're the one who ordered the murder . julian : this is payback . sonny : do n't tell me -- julian : you 're painting me as a liar . sonny : no paint required . julian : okay , you hired a plant to put the blame on me , sonny . admit it . sonny : okay , let me guess . you 're saying that i attacked my own organization , had one of my men shot ... julian : yeah . sonny : ... to frame you ? julian : yes . sonny : that 's diabolical . julian : and right up your alley . [ scene_break ] sam : okay , okay , okay . stop . alexis : [ giggling ] sam : mom , it 's not even 5 : 00 yet . alexis : it is somewhere . sam : oh , that 's -- that 's true , actually . wait , you 're not actually letting sonny get to you , are you ? alexis : he always gets to me . he pushes my buttons , and he likes it . and he 's even more skilled at it when i 'm vulnerable . sam : well , this is sonny we 're talking about . he does despise julian . alexis : okay , so i 'll try to ignore him . try to . i really envy your relationship with jason . sam : oh . i - i 'm sorry , what ? alexis : [ chuckles ] i do . i mean , with the two of you , there was no compromise . you did n't try to drag him away from the mob or try to change him in any way , you just loved him . end of story . sam : and then he died . alexis : do you regret being with him ? sam : no . never . alexis : well , then , i rest my case . sam : spoken like a true lawyer . alexis : i 'm also very , very skilled at changing tacks . so , how are you ? sam : um ... [ sighs ] that 's a good question . i think i 'd be better once franco 's trial is over . alexis : yeah . poor kiki . sam : yeah , i know . it 's awful , is n't it ? alexis : yeah . her father 's murdered , the guy she thought was her father 's accused , and her aunt is subpoenaed . sam : wait , what ? denise ? what does she have to do with this ? alexis : i guess they think there 's some importance to her testimony . the defense feels that way . i hope it does n't let franco off the hook . sam : [ sighs ] alexis : unless that 's what you want . sam : mom , what i want is for silas ' killer to rot in prison for the rest of their life . alexis : and you 're not sure that person is franco ? sam : i mean , i - i thought -- i thought i was sure , at first , but then i talked to kiki , and she did n't seem to be convinced . she thinks that someone else is responsible . [ scene_break ] maxie : if nina promised franco that she would n't tell you why silas kidnapped avery , there can only be one reason . she 's protecting franco . nathan : i know . and i said as much , and she still gave me nothing . i just want her to trust me . maxie : that 'll just take time . nathan : i know . and i thought we were getting there . especially after she confided in me about madeline . maxie : oof . what about her ? nathan : well , apparently she has been trying to get nina to sign this . this is consent that basically grants her and ric unfettered access to nina 's inheritance . maxie : are you serious ? nathan : yeah . apparently madeline thought she could get away with this while everybody was preoccupied with franco 's trial . maxie : wow . and i thought your biological mother was bad . but at least obrecht actually cares about people other than herself . nathan : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] dr. obrecht : if scott baldwin calls , drop everything and find me . elizabeth : will do . what was that about ? patrick : i have no idea . dr. obrecht : what is taking him so long ? i gave baldwin everything he needed .

[ stammering ] i do n't know what i 'm looking at here . dr. obrecht : dna tests . scott : i do n't sprechen sie deutsche . whose ? dr. obrecht : denise demuccio 's , ava jerome 's , and her daughter avery 's . scott : and that 's gon na help franco how ? dr. obrecht : they prove ava jerome did not die from her fall off the port charles bridge . she survived , and is masquerading as denise . the proof is right there in your hands . i just hope he knows how to use it . [ scene_break ] scott : you and silas cooked up quite a scheme , did n't you ? ava : no , we did n't . this is insane . scott : so insane that it almost worked . except for silas ' conscience . he , unlike you , could n't stand to see your daughter kiki in pain . the pain that the two of you caused her making her believe that her mother was dead . who does that ? ava : this is -- this has got to be badgering . no ? ric : if ava jerome is indeed alive , then she faces trial for the murder of connie falconeri . the people have no problem with this line of questioning , your honor . ava : well , i do . scott : well , this will all be over when you tell the truth . tell the court what we already know , ava . that you were indifferent towards your daughter 's feelings . you did n't care about her tears , her pain , her grief . ava : that is not true . scott : oh , yes it was . as long as you were in the clear , you did n't care whether she cried herself to sleep at night . what a price to pay for your freedom , huh ? ava : [ dropping the fake accent ] you think i do n't care ? ! you think i do n't love her ? ! that girl is my heart and soul . everything i 've done , i 've done for her , i 've done for kiki and her sister . i came back here , so i could be with them . scott : who came back ? who came back ? i need verbal confirmation here . who came back for those girls ? was it denise demuccio , or was it ava jerome ? ava : ava ! ava ! damn it ! i 'm ava jerome . [ spectators murmur ] [ scene_break ] sonny : that 's some theory . julian : mm - hmm . denying setting me up ? sonny : does that surprise you , julian ? go ahead and tell anybody that 's gon na listen . at least you 'll have alexis on the hook . julian : you leave her out of this , sonny . sonny : why ? 'cause this is what this all is all about , is n't it ? grandstanding so sooner or later she will see the light ? but you know what ? here 's one thing . here 's one thing you do n't know about alexis . julian : do n't lecture me about my girlfriend , all right ? sonny : i think you need to hear this , jules . alexis is a very intelligent woman . she 's only gon na let you lie to her for so long . she builds cases . she draws conclusions . sooner or later , she 's gon na find out that you 're lying ... and you are screwed . she 's not only gon na kick you to the curb , she 's gon na turn on you . [ scene_break ] alexis : i know it 's frustrating , but you 're just gon na have to let the legal system do its job . sam : i know . i just ... i wish it had a better track record . alexis : someone is gon na pay for what happened to silas one way or the other . sam : i hope so . he did a lot for my family , mom . he saved danny 's life . and , you know what , in a way , he saved mine , too . [ scene_break ] patrick : so , where were we before obrecht got all obrecht on us ? elizabeth : you were trying to convince me to hire maxie as my wedding planner . patrick : ah , yes . i take it that 's not gon na happen . elizabeth : yeah , no , i do n't think so . patrick : well , i was just saying that maybe , you know -- maybe the whole situation is a little , i do n't know , overwhelming . elizabeth : what makes you say that ? the fact that i fled the proposal scene without giving jake an answer ? it 's kind of ridiculous , but ... [ chuckles ] patrick : is it ridiculous ? elizabeth : what do you mean by that ? patrick : i do n't -- i do n't mean anything . i 'm just asking if you are overwhelmed , or you 're having any misgivings that maybe you should listen to . elizabeth : so much for being happy for me . patrick : no , no , i am happy for you . i 'm happy if jake 's the right guy . elizabeth : `` if `` ? what do you [ scoffs ] what do you mean `` if `` ? i thought you were over your little issues with him . patrick : i am , because ... you know , because it 's important to you . and jake has done some nice things . i mean , he 's great with the kids . elizabeth : and with me . patrick : yes . [ sighs ] but the fact remains we do n't know who he is or where he comes from or what his past is like . we do know that he 's capable of some pretty violent acts . elizabeth : because helena conditioned him to be . patrick : i know that . i understand that . but we 're talking about , you know , making bombs and shooting police officers and taking hostages . that 's -- that 's pretty dangerous , elizabeth . that 's a skill set that you learn . elizabeth : so ... patrick : so i 'm just saying that the life that he came from probably -- you know , that was part of it . preparation goes into learning how to do those skills , and so i want you to know what you 're getting into . i 'm not talking about a knock on the door and it 's an old girlfriend or an ex - wife or something . we 're talking about dangerous people knocking on your door . elizabeth : so what am i supposed to do ? just put my life on hold until i know something that i may never know ? patrick : no . i just want you to be safe . elizabeth : and jake has protected me from the moment i met him . i did n't run after he proposed to me , because i question who he is . he caught me off guard . okay ? i 'm -- i 'm scared . i mean , let 's face it , my track record 's abysmal when it comes to relationships , right ? so i just needed some time to myself , and i - i went to the chapel . patrick : okay . elizabeth : and sam happened to be there , and she actually was the one who told me i should n't close myself off because of the past . that i 've been given a second chance , and i should take it . patrick : okay . elizabeth : okay ? patrick : yes . okay . you 're my best friend , okay ? you 're family to me . so if this is what you want , i trust you . and i trust sam . so , you 're on board , i 'm on board . elizabeth : thank you . patrick : congratulations . i 'm happy for you . elizabeth : and when am i gon na get to say the same to you ? you guys live together . you and sam are in love . come one . when are you gon na propose to her ? [ scene_break ] sam : i - i had to move on with my life after jason died , and silas helped me see that . he helped me believe that i could love again . alexis : just ask patrick . sam : i know . i will be forever grateful to silas for that . alexis : me too . sam : he deserved so much more , mom . alexis : all right , so , let 's hope that the scales are balanced at least just a tiny bit right now in court . [ scene_break ] [ spectators murmuring ] judge chua : [ bangs gavel ] settle down , everyone . kiki : am i hallucinating , or did she just ... ? morgan : no , you 're not hallucinating . kiki : [ gasps ] oh , my god , morgan . how can this be true ? is -- is my mom ... scott : i demand that the charges against my client be dropped , since the true killer is on the stand . ava : no , no , wait . wait just a minute . yes , i 'm ava . and , yes , silas clay performed a bone - marrow transplant to save my life . but i did not kill him . scott : so , we 're supposed to take you at your word after this debacle ? ava : i 've got better than my word . i 've got proof . franco : ava . ava . please . ava : your wife did it . it was nina clay or lansing -- whatever the hell she 's calling herself . ric : who took this ? ava : i did . scott : so , you admit that you were at the scene of the crime . ava : to talk to silas . not kill him . ric : talk to him about what ? ava : he was gon na tell kiki the truth about me . and i went there to beg him not to . when i arrived , the door was open , and nina was kneeling over silas ' body with a knife in her hand . ric : so -- so you took a picture of it ? why did n't you try to help him ? ava : if i 'd thought it would do any good , i would have . but i could just take one look , and i knew he was gone . the father of my child . the man i once loved . it was terrible . and of course , i wanted to confront nina , but she was there , she had a weapon in her hand . we all know she would 've used it . so i - i took the picture , and i got out of there . ric : um ... your honor , i - i 'm -- i 'm afraid i need to take a recess . uh ... seems that i have no choice but to charge my wife in connection with the murder of dr. silas clay .

[ flashback ] scott : silas helped ava to become denise , and franco knew ? dr. obrecht : mm - hmm . scott : what -- why did n't he say anything ? dr. obrecht : because ava 's in possession of photographic evidence that implicates my niece in silas ' murder . scott : nina . i should 've known she 'd have something to do with this . dr. obrecht : the lovestruck trottel would sooner go to prison himself than risk her suffering . but i wo n't have it . i care too much for franco to watch him throw his life away . thus , i have conducted a thorough investigation . scott : more dna ? dr. obrecht : read these . they are the doorman 's log from ava jerome 's building . silas clay signed in to visit her apartment hours before he was murdered . scott : mm . dr. obrecht , you are good . dr. obrecht : naturlich .

ben : they thought i was you , not stefan . jake : that 's very strange . ben : i do n't think it 's that obscure . i did n't tell eli everything . ciara : why , ben ? ben : those two thugs wanted something . and whatever it was , they wanted it bad enough to beat the crap out of me . so what was it , ke ? what did they want ? ciara : ben could have been killed . so you owe him an explanation . what are you hiding , jake ? maggie : oh . you 're my visitor . will : xander called and -- maggie : hi . will : hi . he told me you know the truth . maggie : yeah . well , how is it , will , that a year ago today , i killed my own granddaughter ? [ rock music ] brady : you want to turn that down , please ? xander : sorry , ca n't hear you . [ stomping ] what the hell ? brady : it was either your phone or your head . be happy it was n't your head . xander : be happy i did n't throw you off my plane ! brady : it 's not your plane , xander . it 's the company jet . xander : a company you no longer work for . brady : just to be clear for the record , i was n't gon na steal the plane or anything . just needed a favor . i know the pilot and we were just gon na head to france real quick . xander : because you have a lead on sarah and mickey ? brady : rachel . xander : sounds like a `` yes `` to me . so let 's find them , eh , before your murderous lady love does . kristen : this is the place . hang in there , rachel . mama 's here . oh . oh , my god . rex : kristen . kristen . kristen : oh , my god . rex : untie me , please . kristen : what happened ? rex : thank god . kristen : where is she ? where are sarah and my baby ? rex : they 're gone . sarah : i 'm sorry we have to leave paris . there were so many things i wanted to show you . when we ran into rex , i honestly what -- what crazy bad luck was that , right ? do n't worry , bubba . as soon as we get on our train , no one will ever find us again . male announcer : like sands through the hourglass , so are the days of our lives . [ soft orchestration ] sarah : we have a while before we have to board , so -- [ imitating fanfare ] it 's your birthday cake ! well , technically , it 's a cupcake , but it 's been a whole year since you were born . mother 's day . i celebrated with grandma last year . i had no idea that that very same day , i was gon na become a mom . sarah : there is so much i want to thank you for , your wisdom and your generosity , but most important , your love . and you may not have always agreed with all of my choices , but it 's made me all the more appreciative of your support . i love you . happy mother 's day . maggie : thank you , sweetheart . mmm . in a couple of weeks , you 're gon na have a child of your own , and then you will understand what it 's like to be a mother . sarah : grandma was right . i had no idea what it meant to be a mom until you came into my life . you 're everything to me . kristen : where did she take her ? come on , where did she take my baby ? rex : i -- look , i do n't know . i did my best to convince sarah to return to salem to give your baby back to you . kristen : oh , god ! how long ago did she leave ? rex : not long . kristen : no ? rex : can you untie me , please ? kristen : no , how long ? rex : half hour . kristen : a half hour , right ? rex : an hour at most . kristen : okay , did she tell you where she was going ? rex : no . but , kristen , she could be anywhere by now . brady : so what are you gon na do when you find sarah , huh ? you 're gon na convince her to bring the baby back or are you just gon na run off with her ? i mean , she does hate your guts . xander : i 'm much more interested in your plan . have you heard from kristen ? is she already in paris ? brady : i honestly do n't know . xander : well , if she is and she hurts sarah in any way , if she so much -- brady : she 's not gon na hurt sarah in any way . xander : oh , no ? brady : no . xander : she killed that nurse . she stabbed victor in the heart . i think it 's safe to say she has a habit of losing her temper . brady : well , she did lose her baby because of you , right ? xander : so how did you get this paris lead ? hey , i can order joe to turn this crate right around , then where will you be ? brady : take it easy . kristen tracked down rex brady 's phone to an apartment building there , okay ? xander : rex brady ? brady : yeah . xander : what does he have to do with anything ? brady : kristen seems to believe that rex might be with sarah . xander : no way . that -- that 's not possible . brady : is n't it ? are you sure ? i mean , you did blow up sarah 's life , did n't you ? just wrecked it . so why would n't she run to her ex - husband for a little bit of comfort , who i believe never really stopped loving her ? xander : well , just shut the hell up , all right ? it 's none of your damn business . brady : it is my business , xander . you stole my baby , you son of a bitch ! in our normal everyday diets , jake : i do n't know who these guys were or what they wanted . it was probably some kind of misunderstanding . ciara : you really expect us to believe that ? jake : i do n't know what else to tell you . ciara : how about the truth ? jake , my boyfriend took a beating for you . the least you could do is be honest with him . jake : if my answer is not good enough , ben 's free to walk . ciara : are you serious ? ben : no , no , no . jake : yeah . ben : no , look . i 'm not gon na force you to tell me what 's going on because i need this job . but those guys clearly mean business . so whatever mess you 're mixed up in , it 's not going away any time soon . xander : you want to hit me ? will that make you feel better ? brady : you know what i want to do , i want to throw your ass off this plane , xander . xander : listen , brady , none of what happened was about hurting -- brady : save it , man . i 've already heard it from grandfather . i do n't want to hear your excuses . kristen and i , we were both under the impression that our daughter was dead for a year , while you and grandfather made up your own justifications that , we were protecting sarah and maggie -- there 's no justification for what you did , man . none . xander : you love maggie as much as i do . responsible for the death of her grandchild . no one deserves that kind of grief . brady : what about the grief that you caused kristen and me , huh ? are you even capable of giving a damn about that ? xander : well , if it makes you happy , it 's all falling apart . sarah hates me . and now maggie knows that she killed her little granddaughter . brady : wait -- she knows ? who told her ? xander : i did . maggie : it 's horrible enough knowing that i caused the crash that killed adrienne . but i 'd always thanked god that sarah and the baby were okay , but then -- that 's what julie was about to tell me , was n't it , when you interrupted her and got her out of here ? will : i 'm sorry . victor made sonny and me promise not to say anything to you . maggie : well , he had no right to do that . and he had no right to switch the babies . will : no . and trust me , i ca n't believe i 'm defending victor after what he did to me , but you know he was just trying to protect you . maggie : yeah . and kristen and brady , they paid the price . sarah : well , that 's my girl . you like chocolate almost as much as momma . would you believe that xander crashed my mother 's day brunch with grandma ? though he did come bringing gifts . xander : so yeah , you just adjust the straps and you 'll be good to go . sarah : it looks complicated . xander : you 'll figure it out it . maggie : oh , this is adorable ! xander : i might have to borrow that often , maggie . we need lots of coffee to get through those 3 : 00 a.m. feedings . maggie : i have to say , xander , you have certainly stepped up in the daddy department . xander : well , you know , we 're in this together . sarah 's doing the hard part , of course . but i did take the birthing classes with her -- sarah : you 're helpful . we get it . sarah : i was so annoyed with xander , like so many reasons . he was so worried about what i ate or if i 'd packed a bag for the hospital . and i just lost it on him . i know , it 's not cool . i even banned him from the delivery room . i just remember thinking that the day could n't get any worse . and the accident happened . kristen : did she mention anything specific ? like a country ? a city ? the airport . that must be where she 's at . i 've got to go stop her . rex : kristen , wait ! do n't you think it 's a hell of a lot easier to anonymously purchase a train ticket than it is flash your i d all over an airport ? kristen : you 're right . mm - hmm . under the radar makes more sense . but what train station ? and there are so many . gare du nord , gare saint - lazare -- rex : and do n't you think you could use a little help ? untie me , please ! these are real people , not actors , [ cell phone rings ] kate : mimi lockhart ? what the hell does she want ? hey , mimi . what 's up ? yeah . no , i spoke to rex yesterday . no , i have n't heard from him since . oh , sure . okay . so you expected him back today ? that is odd . and i promise , i 'll call you as soon as i hear from him . okay , bye . jake : excuse me , ma'am . i believe you dropped this . kate : oh , my god ! stefan ? will : [ sighs , grunts ] ciara : wait , baby , let me help you with that . [ groans ] ben : first day on the job did n't go quite as planned . ciara : yeah . i still think you should have gone to the hospital . what if something 's bruised or broken or sprained or -- ben : i 'm fine . it 's bruised ribs . i 've had worse . ciara : you could have gotten killed , and jake acts like he has no idea what 's going on . he 's kind of a jerk . ben : he 's my boss . and maybe it 's better that i do n't know . ciara : yeah , okay . but those guys could still come back . and they still think that you 're jake . you could die next time , ben . you should quit . brady : why in god 's name did you tell maggie the truth ? xander : while i was there , some inmate let it slip that victor had been stabbed . maggie demanded answers . you know how she 's like . told her everything . brady : how did she take the news ? xander : how do you think ? brady : i suppose it 's better that she knows the truth . bound to come out anyway . ca n't believe i 'm saying this . but it 's probably appropriate that it came from you . xander : well , she should have heard it from victor . but kristen made that impossible . that psycho should be locked up . brady : can you really blame her , xander ? you did steal her baby , did n't you ? xander : well , some might consider that poetic justice , seeing she tried to steal a baby first . brady : if you 're referring to theresa , that 's ancient history . let it go . xander : oh , no , cousin . this is recent history . kristen tried to steal sarah 's child first . sarah : my baby was supposed to be born in a nice , clean , sterile hospital with a lot of doctors and a lot of nurses , a lot of drugs . but because of that accident , everything just changed in an instant . kristen : i 've spent a lot of time in this city . i know it pretty well . i think we need to divide and conquer . you take the stations on the west , i 'll take them on the east . rex : to look for a woman and baby ? that 's gon na take a lot of time that we do n't have . kristen : okay , you know what , you got a better idea ? rex : yeah , i do actually . i 'm gon na call the police . kristen : okay , i ca n't let you do that . seresto , seresto , seresto . kate : okay , you 're stefan and you 're dead , so -- jake : get that a lot . i 'm not dead , i 'm not stefan . name 's jake . kate : what game are you playing ? jake : no game . and i 'm getting tired of everyone coming down on me for looking like this stefan guy . sorry . kate : okay , wait a minute . wait a minute . gabi was convinced that she saw stefan here a few days ago . did she see you ? jake : you know gabi hernandez ? kate : yes . jake : okay , maybe you can explain . what the hell is her deal ? ben : do you remember how hard it was for me to get a job ? i 'm not quitting the only place that would hire me . ciara : it 's not worth risking your life for , ben . ben : i can take care of myself . ciara : yeah , okay , but if something were to happen to you , i -- ben : nothing is going to happen to me , okay ? i promise you . and if something does happen , then you can say i told you so . ciara : not if you 're dead . ben : well , then you can put it in your eulogy . ciara : okay , that 's not funny . you 're not funny , ben . this is serious , okay ? ben : you know what 's serious ? ciara : what ? ben : my need for food right now . and we 're supposed to be celebrating tonight , my new job , your grandfather waking up . ciara : mm - hmm . you almost died today . so forgive me if i 'm not in the mood . maybe we 'll go tomorrow . ben : okay , so we 're just gon na let those two goons ruin our night ? i do n't think so . so what i 'm gon na do , i 'm gon na go take a shower . and i want you to go put on something that is gon na make you smile , put a smile on that face . ciara : you do that , ben weston . you do that real good . so where are we going ? ben : it 's a surprise . oh , easy . maggie : i held brady 's hand . i watched him grieve . went to meetings with him . watched him push down his pain so he could be strong for kristen , you know , when they should have been rejoicing their child and savoring that beautiful new life . and the whole time , victor knew . what kind of a person can watch someone they love grieve the way brady grieved and do nothing ? will : i think that 's a question only victor can answer . maggie : well , there 's a whole lot more where that came from . how is he ? will : he 's a lot better . and , you know , i 'm sure he 'll come visit you as soon as he 's out of the hospital . maggie : i 'm not sure what i would have say to him . will : you know he loves you . maggie : i do . but what he 's done in the name of love , my god . the lives that he 's changed forever , the harm that he 's done . so sarah , has there been any news ? will : i 'm afraid no one 's been able to find sarah and the baby yet . [ sniffles ] maggie : you know what , i wish -- i wish i could walk out of here and wrap my arms around her and tell her everything is going to be okay . but i know it is n't going to be okay , is it ? to find out that the child that you 've raised and loved as your own is n't yours and yours is a sweet baby girl who died because -- [ sobs ] will : maggie . maggie . maggie : i ca n't imagine what my daughter is going through because of me . [ sobs ] sarah : you know , usually , i 'm very calm under pressure , doctor thing , at least when it comes to my patients . to be in full - blown labor in the middle of the night on the side of the road with only xander to help us ? i was freaked out . you know , it 's just because i know everything that can go wrong . maybe because i loved my baby more than anything or anyone . xander : i 'm right here . sarah : you have to help me , okay , please ? i ca n't lose this baby ! xander : that 's not going to happen . sarah : xander was amazing . it was the scariest moment of my life , and he was there for every push , every breath . and it was all worth it in the end . xander : hey , little girl . say hello to your mum . sarah : hi . i was just in awe of my baby , just in awe of that perfect little girl , you know , in awe of her strength . to arrive in the middle of the night , in the middle of nowhere , on the side of a road . and xander made that happen . he was our hero . or so i thought . rex : why ca n't i call the police ? kristen : well , i am -- i 'm wanted for attempted murder . rex : of course you are . anything else you 'd like to share ? kristen : no , but when i found out that victor stole my baby , i might have snapped . rex : and -- kristen : and stuck a knife in his chest . rex : that 's nice . i thought brady did that . kristen : no , he confessed to protect me . rex : oh , nothing says `` i love you `` like ten to life . kristen : you know what , just so you know , i was against it . and then victor woke up and told the truth . rex : that 's why you ran . hold on , the paris authorities do n't know that you 're wanted . kristen : and i ca n't take that chance . i can't . i mean , if i go to prison , i 'm never gon na get to be with my daughter . rex : this is nuts . first , sarah 's on the run . now you 're on the run . look , i 'm gon na call the police and let them sort this out . kristen : no , no . hey , hey , hey , hey . no . 'cause if you do , i promise you , you will live to regret it . you may not see them , but your itchy eyes know brady : what the hell are you talking about ? xander : yeah . i figured kristen neglected to fill you in on her little scheme . brady : what scheme ? xander : when sarah first found out that she was pregnant with eric 's baby , she considered an abortion . kristen found out , tried to get me to help her steal sarah 's baby from her womb so she could get it implanted in hers . does that sound familiar ? brady : tate . xander : what better way to get you back for good than to play the baby card ? kristen was convinced that she could play that baby off as yours . brady : no . that 's ridiculous . xander : nobody does ridiculous like kristen . ask her . or better yet , ask dr . rolf . brady : dr. rolf ? xander : hmm . he was supposed to perform the embryo transfer . but right before the procedure , he realized that kristen was already pregnant with your baby , which is the only reason she did n't go through with stealing sarah 's . so kristen has no right to act like some poor , put upon victim . rex : what are you gon na do ? you 're gon na kill me too ? kristen : no . no , of course not . i need your help , please . rex : okay , okay . then maybe do n't threaten me . kristen : okay , it 's just reflex . i was desperate . please . and you have a little girl , right ? rex : yeah , emily . kristen : well , imagine a life without her . imagine if she was kept from you . would you pleasese rex : okay . okay . kristen : thank you ! rex : right , so we 'll do your plan . kristen : okay . rex : we will split up , and we 'll hit the train stations . kristen : yeah . rex : but , kristen , i have to warn you , sarah could be long gone . kristen : maybe . maybe . but i do n't care how long it takes or what i have to do because nothing , no one is gon na stop me from finding my baby . sarah : it was all blur after xander took us to the hospital . nurse haley took my baby to go get checked out . and i was -- i was just exhausted , and so i fell asleep . and when i woke up , xander brought you back to me and placed you in my arms . xander : she 's perfect . sarah : hi ! hi ! hi , hi . oh , my gosh . you 're right . she 's perfect . and she 's here in this world because of you . thank you so much for delivering this precious angel . she 's -- she -- xander : is something wrong ? sarah : this is so strange . she does n't look like how i remembered her . it 's almost like she 's a different baby or something . that 's because it was a different baby . it was you , kristen and brady 's baby . and my baby was -- my baby was dead . kate : okay , look . i understand why she thinks that you were her husband because the resemblance is uncanny . jake : no , no , no . she 's a whack - job . you know that , right ? she 's practically been much stalking me . harassing me . and she will not accept the truth . i mean , i just almost had to drag her out of my place . kate : okay , okay . jake , the thing that you need to understand is that she was deeply in love with you . not you , stefan . they were both in love . jake : right . fairy tale love and that ? kate : no , not exactly . more of a con job . she was after revenge and his money . but by the time he died , he was her world . so when she lost him , her world was shattered . jake : sorry to hear that . kate : yeah . so if you are stefan -- jake : which i 'm not . kate : well , just in case you are stefan , it would be terribly cruel not to be truthful with her , you know , because she 's lost a lot . i do n't think she can take much more . ben : i hope you 're in the mood for chinese . ciara : you and general tso , two of my favorite people . ben : these are for you . ciara : aw . just like on our first date , ben ! that was like the best date ever , you know ? ben : was it ? ciara : yeah . ben : so this is n't corny ? ciara : no , it 's perfect . ben : good . let 's eat . ciara : yes . ben : check this one out . you know , it is kind of funny though . ciara : what ? ben : that we were celebrating , on our first date , me getting a job with stefan . ciara : and now we 're celebrating you getting a job with stefan 's lookalike . totally weird , ben weston . ben : yeah , yeah . a little weird . ciara : yeah . and just as dangerous , apparently . ben : what ? ciara : ca n't you just get a job with some sweet old woman or something ? ben : at least i have a job . ciara : excuse me . how dare you ! ben : i 'm just saying . i 'm just kidding . i 'm just kidding . ciara : you know what ? listen , technically , i 'm not even unemployed , okay ? ben : oh , no ? ciara : because i never quit titan . ben : ah . ciara : yeah , so , ha ! and , you know , right now is not exactly the perfect time to quit with grandpa recovering from that crazy woman stabbing him and then freaking out about maggie . ben : yeah . maggie : you know , today is mickey 's first birthday . but because sarah knows that mickey is n't her child , it 's the first anniversary of her baby 's death . will : you know what though , that does n't erase all the memories of the past year , the love that sarah gave to that little girl and the love that she received in return . no , sarah will always -- always have that . maggie : yes , yes . she did , she 's raised her as her own , huh ? she watched all the firsts . she 's seen her through cancer . that kind of bond , a mother and a child , there is nothing deeper . will : yeah . you know , i mean , uncle austin thought i was his child for years . and even when he found out that lucas was my biological father , he -- i mean , he said he never stopped thinking of me as his son . right , i think it took him a long time to come to terms with the truth . maggie : yeah . it 's gon na be just as difficult for sarah . sarah : xander lied and said that you were mine . somewhere inside , i -- i knew the truth , but i just ignored my instincts 'cause , honestly , i just -- i so badly wanted it to be true . i loved you with my whole heart the moment i laid eyes on you . so i do n't care -- i do n't care what anyone says . you are my little girl . you are my daughter . - oh . - what 's going on ? will : you know , i 'm worried about sarah . i 'm worried about you too . maggie : well , do n't be . i 'm exactly where i deserve to be . i 've earned every bit of misery after what i 've done to the people i love . will : that 's what i 'm talking about . maggie , that guilt , the weight , it breaks you . i know , i 've lived it when i was in here . maggie : yeah , which should never have happened . i 'm so sorry you had to go through that . i mean , if i had known -- will : maggie , stop it ! please stop apologizing . it 's okay . it 's okay . i need you to listen to me and hear what i 'm saying . maggie , you 're not alone in this . i 'm here for you . we 're all here for you . maggie : who ? sonny ? i robbed him of his mother . oh , if sarah -- if she does come back home , how do i even ever look her in the eye again ? will : maggie , you -- you got to stop . do n't go down that path . maggie : she must hate me . i hate myself . will : maggie , it was an accident . maggie : i was drunk , will ! how do i forgive that ? how do i live with that ? because i do n't really see that i can . xander : we 're gon na land soon . brady : before we do , maybe we should get something straight , huh ? we both want to find sarah and the baby , xander . i do n't know what your plans are . but i do n't want you to get in my way because then we 'll have a problem . there 's nothing that 's gon na prevent me from reuniting kristen and our daughter , do you hear me ? xander : well , i guess we 'll have to see about that . sarah : well , we are all about the future now . and birthday presents and birthday cake with lots and lots of icing . so as soon as we get to our new home , we are gon na throw you a bona fide birthday party . right , look at that . it 's almost time to board . we should get going . yeah , let 's go ! hi ! [ dramatic music ] kate : thank you for retrieving my item . and good luck to you . with that face , you 're going to need it . jake : you said you did n't like stefan dimera . kate : the man gave me many reasons not to trust him . let 's hope the same thing does n't happen with you .

come on , where did she take my baby ? rex : i -- look , i do n't know . i did my best to convince sarah to return to salem to give your baby back to you . kristen : oh , god ! how long ago did she leave ? rex : not long . kristen : no ? rex : can you untie me , please ? kristen : no , how long ? rex : half hour . kristen : a half hour , right ? rex : an hour at most . kristen : okay , did she tell you where she was going ? rex : no . but , kristen , she could be anywhere by now . brady : so what are you gon na do when you find sarah , huh ? you 're gon na convince her to bring the baby back or are you just gon na run off with her ? i mean , she does hate your guts . xander : i 'm much more interested in your plan . have you heard from kristen ? is she already in paris ? brady : i honestly do n't know . xander : well , if she is and she hurts sarah in any way , if she so much -- brady : she 's not gon na hurt sarah in any way . xander : oh , no ? brady : no . xander : she killed that nurse . she stabbed victor in the heart . i think it 's safe to say she has a habit of losing her temper . brady : well , she did lose her baby because of you , right ? xander : so how did you get this paris lead ? hey , i can order joe to turn this crate right around , then where will you be ? brady : take it easy . kristen tracked down rex brady 's phone to an apartment building there , okay ? xander : rex brady ? brady : yeah . xander : what does he have to do with anything ? brady : kristen seems to believe that rex might be with sarah . xander : no way . that -- that 's not possible . brady : is n't it ? are you sure ? i mean , you did blow up sarah 's life , did n't you ? just wrecked it . so why would n't she run to her ex - husband for a little bit of comfort , who i believe never really stopped loving her ? xander : well , just shut the hell up , all right ? it 's none of your damn business . brady : it is my business , xander . you stole my baby , you son of a bitch ! in our normal everyday diets , jake : i do n't know who these guys were or what they wanted . it was probably some kind of misunderstanding . ciara : you really expect us to believe that ? jake : i do n't know what else to tell you . ciara : how about the truth ? jake , my boyfriend took a beating for you . the least you could do is be honest with him . jake : if my answer is not good enough , ben 's free to walk . ciara : are you serious ? ben : no , no , no . jake : yeah . ben : no , look . i 'm not gon na force you to tell me what 's going on because i need this job . but those guys clearly mean business . so whatever mess you 're mixed up in , it 's not going away any time soon . xander : you want to hit me ? will that make you feel better ? brady : you know what i want to do , i want to throw your ass off this plane , xander . xander : listen , brady , none of what happened was about hurting -- brady : save it , man . i 've already heard it from grandfather . i do n't want to hear your excuses . kristen and i , we were both under the impression that our daughter was dead for a year , while you and grandfather made up your own justifications that , we were protecting sarah and maggie -- there 's no justification for what you did , man . none . xander : you love maggie as much as i do . responsible for the death of her grandchild . no one deserves that kind of grief . brady : what about the grief that you caused kristen and me , huh ? are you even capable of giving a damn about that ? xander : well , if it makes you happy , it 's all falling apart . sarah hates me . and now maggie knows that she killed her little granddaughter . brady : wait -- she knows ? who told her ? xander : i did . maggie : it 's horrible enough knowing that i caused the crash that killed adrienne . but i 'd always thanked god that sarah and the baby were okay , but then -- that 's what julie was about to tell me , was n't it , when you interrupted her and got her out of here ? will : i 'm sorry . victor made sonny and me promise not to say anything to you . maggie : well , he had no right to do that . and he had no right to switch the babies . will : no . and trust me , i ca n't believe i 'm defending victor after what he did to me , but you know he was just trying to protect you . maggie : yeah . and kristen and brady , they paid the price . sarah : well , that 's my girl . you like chocolate almost as much as momma . would you believe that xander crashed my mother 's day brunch with grandma ? though he did come bringing gifts . xander : so yeah , you just adjust the straps and you 'll be good to go . sarah : it looks complicated . xander : you 'll figure it out it . maggie : oh , this is adorable ! xander : i might have to borrow that often , maggie . we need lots of coffee to get through those 3 : 00 a.m. feedings . maggie : i have to say , xander , you have certainly stepped up in the daddy department . xander : well , you know , we 're in this together . sarah 's doing the hard part , of course . but i did take the birthing classes with her -- sarah : you 're helpful . we get it . sarah : i was so annoyed with xander , like so many reasons . he was so worried about what i ate or if i 'd packed a bag for the hospital . and i just lost it on him . i know , it 's not cool . i even banned him from the delivery room . i just remember thinking that the day could n't get any worse . and the accident happened . kristen : did she mention anything specific ? like a country ? a city ? the airport . that must be where she 's at . i 've got to go stop her . rex : kristen , wait ! do n't you think it 's a hell of a lot easier to anonymously purchase a train ticket than it is flash your i d all over an airport ? kristen : you 're right . mm - hmm . under the radar makes more sense . but what train station ? and there are so many . gare du nord , gare saint - lazare -- rex : and do n't you think you could use a little help ?

[ groans ] ben : first day on the job did n't go quite as planned . ciara : yeah . i still think you should have gone to the hospital . what if something 's bruised or broken or sprained or -- ben : i 'm fine . it 's bruised ribs . i 've had worse . ciara : you could have gotten killed , and jake acts like he has no idea what 's going on . he 's kind of a jerk . ben : he 's my boss . and maybe it 's better that i do n't know . ciara : yeah , okay . but those guys could still come back . and they still think that you 're jake . you could die next time , ben . you should quit . brady : why in god 's name did you tell maggie the truth ? xander : while i was there , some inmate let it slip that victor had been stabbed . maggie demanded answers . you know how she 's like . told her everything . brady : how did she take the news ? xander : how do you think ? brady : i suppose it 's better that she knows the truth . bound to come out anyway . ca n't believe i 'm saying this . but it 's probably appropriate that it came from you . xander : well , she should have heard it from victor . but kristen made that impossible . that psycho should be locked up . brady : can you really blame her , xander ? you did steal her baby , did n't you ? xander : well , some might consider that poetic justice , seeing she tried to steal a baby first . brady : if you 're referring to theresa , that 's ancient history . let it go . xander : oh , no , cousin . this is recent history . kristen tried to steal sarah 's child first . sarah : my baby was supposed to be born in a nice , clean , sterile hospital with a lot of doctors and a lot of nurses , a lot of drugs . but because of that accident , everything just changed in an instant . kristen : i 've spent a lot of time in this city . i know it pretty well . i think we need to divide and conquer . you take the stations on the west , i 'll take them on the east . rex : to look for a woman and baby ? that 's gon na take a lot of time that we do n't have . kristen : okay , you know what , you got a better idea ? rex : yeah , i do actually . i 'm gon na call the police . kristen : okay , i ca n't let you do that . seresto , seresto , seresto . kate : okay , you 're stefan and you 're dead , so -- jake : get that a lot . i 'm not dead , i 'm not stefan . name 's jake . kate : what game are you playing ? jake : no game . and i 'm getting tired of everyone coming down on me for looking like this stefan guy . sorry . kate : okay , wait a minute . wait a minute . gabi was convinced that she saw stefan here a few days ago . did she see you ? jake : you know gabi hernandez ? kate : yes . jake : okay , maybe you can explain . what the hell is her deal ? ben : do you remember how hard it was for me to get a job ? i 'm not quitting the only place that would hire me . ciara : it 's not worth risking your life for , ben . ben : i can take care of myself . ciara : yeah , okay , but if something were to happen to you , i -- ben : nothing is going to happen to me , okay ? i promise you . and if something does happen , then you can say i told you so . ciara : not if you 're dead . ben : well , then you can put it in your eulogy . ciara : okay , that 's not funny . you 're not funny , ben . this is serious , okay ? ben : you know what 's serious ? ciara : what ? ben : my need for food right now . and we 're supposed to be celebrating tonight , my new job , your grandfather waking up . ciara : mm - hmm . you almost died today . so forgive me if i 'm not in the mood . maybe we 'll go tomorrow . ben : okay , so we 're just gon na let those two goons ruin our night ? i do n't think so . so what i 'm gon na do , i 'm gon na go take a shower . and i want you to go put on something that is gon na make you smile , put a smile on that face . ciara : you do that , ben weston . you do that real good . so where are we going ? ben : it 's a surprise . oh , easy . maggie : i held brady 's hand . i watched him grieve . went to meetings with him . watched him push down his pain so he could be strong for kristen , you know , when they should have been rejoicing their child and savoring that beautiful new life . and the whole time , victor knew . what kind of a person can watch someone they love grieve the way brady grieved and do nothing ? will : i think that 's a question only victor can answer . maggie : well , there 's a whole lot more where that came from . how is he ? will : he 's a lot better . and , you know , i 'm sure he 'll come visit you as soon as he 's out of the hospital . maggie : i 'm not sure what i would have say to him . will : you know he loves you . maggie : i do . but what he 's done in the name of love , my god . the lives that he 's changed forever , the harm that he 's done . so sarah , has there been any news ? will : i 'm afraid no one 's been able to find sarah and the baby yet . [ sniffles ] maggie : you know what , i wish -- i wish i could walk out of here and wrap my arms around her and tell her everything is going to be okay . but i know it is n't going to be okay , is it ? to find out that the child that you 've raised and loved as your own is n't yours and yours is a sweet baby girl who died because -- [ sobs ] will : maggie . maggie . maggie : i ca n't imagine what my daughter is going through because of me . [ sobs ] sarah : you know , usually , i 'm very calm under pressure , doctor thing , at least when it comes to my patients . to be in full - blown labor in the middle of the night on the side of the road with only xander to help us ? i was freaked out . you know , it 's just because i know everything that can go wrong . maybe because i loved my baby more than anything or anyone . xander : i 'm right here . sarah : you have to help me , okay , please ? i ca n't lose this baby ! xander : that 's not going to happen . sarah : xander was amazing . it was the scariest moment of my life , and he was there for every push , every breath . and it was all worth it in the end . xander : hey , little girl . say hello to your mum . sarah : hi . i was just in awe of my baby , just in awe of that perfect little girl , you know , in awe of her strength . to arrive in the middle of the night , in the middle of nowhere , on the side of a road . and xander made that happen . he was our hero . or so i thought . rex : why ca n't i call the police ? kristen : well , i am -- i 'm wanted for attempted murder . rex : of course you are . anything else you 'd like to share ? kristen : no , but when i found out that victor stole my baby , i might have snapped . rex : and -- kristen : and stuck a knife in his chest . rex : that 's nice . i thought brady did that . kristen : no , he confessed to protect me . rex : oh , nothing says `` i love you `` like ten to life . kristen : you know what , just so you know , i was against it . and then victor woke up and told the truth . rex : that 's why you ran . hold on , the paris authorities do n't know that you 're wanted . kristen : and i ca n't take that chance . i can't . i mean , if i go to prison , i 'm never gon na get to be with my daughter . rex : this is nuts . first , sarah 's on the run . now you 're on the run . look , i 'm gon na call the police and let them sort this out . kristen : no , no . hey , hey , hey , hey . no . 'cause if you do , i promise you , you will live to regret it . you may not see them , but your itchy eyes know brady : what the hell are you talking about ? xander : yeah . i figured kristen neglected to fill you in on her little scheme . brady : what scheme ? xander : when sarah first found out that she was pregnant with eric 's baby , she considered an abortion . kristen found out , tried to get me to help her steal sarah 's baby from her womb so she could get it implanted in hers . does that sound familiar ? brady : tate . xander : what better way to get you back for good than to play the baby card ? kristen was convinced that she could play that baby off as yours . brady : no . that 's ridiculous . xander : nobody does ridiculous like kristen . ask her . or better yet , ask dr . rolf . brady : dr. rolf ? xander : hmm . he was supposed to perform the embryo transfer . but right before the procedure , he realized that kristen was already pregnant with your baby , which is the only reason she did n't go through with stealing sarah 's . so kristen has no right to act like some poor , put upon victim . rex : what are you gon na do ? you 're gon na kill me too ? kristen : no . no , of course not . i need your help , please . rex : okay , okay . then maybe do n't threaten me . kristen : okay , it 's just reflex . i was desperate . please . and you have a little girl , right ? rex : yeah , emily . kristen : well , imagine a life without her . imagine if she was kept from you . would you pleasese rex : okay . okay . kristen : thank you ! rex : right , so we 'll do your plan . kristen : okay . rex : we will split up , and we 'll hit the train stations . kristen : yeah . rex : but , kristen , i have to warn you , sarah could be long gone . kristen : maybe . maybe . but i do n't care how long it takes or what i have to do because nothing , no one is gon na stop me from finding my baby . sarah : it was all blur after xander took us to the hospital . nurse haley took my baby to go get checked out . and i was -- i was just exhausted , and so i fell asleep . and when i woke up , xander brought you back to me and placed you in my arms . xander : she 's perfect . sarah : hi ! hi ! hi , hi . oh , my gosh . you 're right . she 's perfect . and she 's here in this world because of you . thank you so much for delivering this precious angel . she 's -- she -- xander : is something wrong ? sarah : this is so strange . she does n't look like how i remembered her . it 's almost like she 's a different baby or something . that 's because it was a different baby . it was you , kristen and brady 's baby . and my baby was -- my baby was dead . kate : okay , look . i understand why she thinks that you were her husband because the resemblance is uncanny . jake : no , no , no . she 's a whack - job . you know that , right ? she 's practically been much stalking me . harassing me . and she will not accept the truth . i mean , i just almost had to drag her out of my place . kate : okay , okay . jake , the thing that you need to understand is that she was deeply in love with you . not you , stefan . they were both in love . jake : right . fairy tale love and that ? kate : no , not exactly . more of a con job . she was after revenge and his money . but by the time he died , he was her world . so when she lost him , her world was shattered . jake : sorry to hear that . kate : yeah . so if you are stefan -- jake : which i 'm not . kate : well , just in case you are stefan , it would be terribly cruel not to be truthful with her , you know , because she 's lost a lot . i do n't think she can take much more . ben : i hope you 're in the mood for chinese . ciara : you and general tso , two of my favorite people . ben : these are for you . ciara : aw . just like on our first date , ben ! that was like the best date ever , you know ? ben : was it ? ciara : yeah . ben : so this is n't corny ? ciara : no , it 's perfect . ben : good . let 's eat . ciara : yes . ben : check this one out . you know , it is kind of funny though . ciara : what ? ben : that we were celebrating , on our first date , me getting a job with stefan . ciara : and now we 're celebrating you getting a job with stefan 's lookalike . totally weird , ben weston . ben : yeah , yeah . a little weird . ciara : yeah . and just as dangerous , apparently . ben : what ? ciara : ca n't you just get a job with some sweet old woman or something ? ben : at least i have a job . ciara : excuse me . how dare you ! ben : i 'm just saying . i 'm just kidding . i 'm just kidding . ciara : you know what ? listen , technically , i 'm not even unemployed , okay ? ben : oh , no ? ciara : because i never quit titan . ben : ah . ciara : yeah , so , ha ! and , you know , right now is not exactly the perfect time to quit with grandpa recovering from that crazy woman stabbing him and then freaking out about maggie . ben : yeah . maggie : you know , today is mickey 's first birthday . but because sarah knows that mickey is n't her child , it 's the first anniversary of her baby 's death . will : you know what though , that does n't erase all the memories of the past year , the love that sarah gave to that little girl and the love that she received in return . no , sarah will always -- always have that . maggie : yes , yes . she did , she 's raised her as her own , huh ? she watched all the firsts . she 's seen her through cancer . that kind of bond , a mother and a child , there is nothing deeper . will : yeah . you know , i mean , uncle austin thought i was his child for years . and even when he found out that lucas was my biological father , he -- i mean , he said he never stopped thinking of me as his son . right , i think it took him a long time to come to terms with the truth . maggie : yeah . it 's gon na be just as difficult for sarah . sarah : xander lied and said that you were mine . somewhere inside , i -- i knew the truth , but i just ignored my instincts 'cause , honestly , i just -- i so badly wanted it to be true . i loved you with my whole heart the moment i laid eyes on you . so i do n't care -- i do n't care what anyone says . you are my little girl . you are my daughter . - oh . - what 's going on ? will : you know , i 'm worried about sarah . i 'm worried about you too . maggie : well , do n't be . i 'm exactly where i deserve to be . i 've earned every bit of misery after what i 've done to the people i love . will : that 's what i 'm talking about . maggie , that guilt , the weight , it breaks you . i know , i 've lived it when i was in here . maggie : yeah , which should never have happened . i 'm so sorry you had to go through that . i mean , if i had known -- will : maggie , stop it ! please stop apologizing . it 's okay . it 's okay . i need you to listen to me and hear what i 'm saying . maggie , you 're not alone in this . i 'm here for you . we 're all here for you . maggie : who ? sonny ? i robbed him of his mother . oh , if sarah -- if she does come back home , how do i even ever look her in the eye again ? will : maggie , you -- you got to stop . do n't go down that path . maggie : she must hate me . i hate myself . will : maggie , it was an accident . maggie : i was drunk , will ! how do i forgive that ? how do i live with that ? because i do n't really see that i can . xander : we 're gon na land soon . brady : before we do , maybe we should get something straight , huh ? we both want to find sarah and the baby , xander . i do n't know what your plans are . but i do n't want you to get in my way because then we 'll have a problem . there 's nothing that 's gon na prevent me from reuniting kristen and our daughter , do you hear me ?

[ scene_break ] man : search him . cooperate -- lulu : whoa ! whoa ! man : or we shoot the girl . lulu : ooh . that 's so tough of you and manly and brave to threaten a girl . you guys are going to be so sorry . tell them . tell them they 're sorry . man : that 's it ? second man : that 's it . lulu : you did n't bring your gun ? man : where 's spinelli ? lulu : spinelli went straight to the cops , and they 're going to be coming back here -- jason : ok , spinelli was -- is running scared . we do n't know where he is , all right ? he took off . man : well , i 'm not taking any chances . you 're both going to disappear tonight .

[ scene_break ] sonny : families are affected by this business no matter how hard you try to keep them safe . skye : that 's why i 'm trying to break the cycle of violence . sonny : yeah ? is that why you told alcazar jason was alive ? jason calls his mother on thanksgiving just to reassure her , and you were there with the quartermaines -- the people who welcome you into their home , treat you like family , tell you secrets -- and you betrayed them . and now , alcazar has stepped up his search for jason . skye : lorenzo 's in south america burying his son . sonny : yeah , yeah . that 's an alibi . skye : he 's paying a terrible price for the choices that he made . sonny : yeah , i 'm sure he 's going to make a lot of other people pay . you are an intelligent woman . why do n't you understand that ? [ scene_break ] sam : just because you helped jason -- elizabeth : i saved his life . sam : that 's what you do for a living . it does n't mean that you share some big , deep connection . elizabeth : that 's right -- we had that before you came into the picture . sam : really ? did you have that before you showed up at his doorstep for meaningless sex that night ? elizabeth : oh , no , you do n't get to decide what that night meant for us , especially given what you were doing at the time . you know , jason and i share a long history whether you like it or not , and i care about him , and it concerns me that he continues to put his life on the line to save you from your own bad judgment . sam : no , ric framed me . he set me up to get to jason . elizabeth : well , then if you knew that , why could n't you just sit in jail for a couple more days and actually give jason a chance to prove that you had been framed ? no , instead you had to escape , which made jason come after you , and now you 're both targets . you know how dangerous ric is and yet you played right into his hands . sam : well , at least i did n't marry him . elizabeth : oh . huh . well , i never said i did n't make mistakes . i just do n't expect jason to risk his life to clean them up . sam : no , you just want to be a part of his life , which is beyond pathetic since you 're pregnant by lucky , who -- correct me if i 'm wrong -- happens to be your husband ? elizabeth : i would n't even have to be here right now if you were n't so incredibly selfish . sam : no , you do not get to make that -- elizabeth : you constantly put yourself in danger so jason has to come after you to prove he still loves you , even though you betrayed him . [ scene_break ] lulu : it 's a lot harder than it looks . jason : it does n't help that you 're drunk . lulu : what was i supposed to do , let them shoot spinelli ? jason : is that what they told you ? lulu : well , first , they gave us the bottle , and it was like , `` ok , we 'll drink this because we wo n't be so scared , and then maybe it wo n't hurt so much when they , you know . `` but then they got really rude about it , and i could n't let them shoot spinelli 's brains out , so i drink it . but if i ever make it out of here alive , i will never , ever drink tequila again , ever . i need , like , scissors or a knife . jason : no , no , no , no . do n't bother . no . lulu : no , no , it 's no trouble . there 's something sharp around here . jason : no , no , you do n't need anything sharp , ok ? that 's a bad idea . lulu : hey , this is the only idea that i have , ok ? i did n't ask to be here . i did n't even know spinelli . he 's some kid that walks around the english department . and all i wanted was to -- my mom lost her mind again . do you know my mom ? she started to get better . but what she did , she did n't do , and i promised that i would tell her that she 's innocent , and -- jason : ok , ok , i just -- i need you to pay attention , ok ? lulu : why are you being so mean to me when i 'm trying to help ? jason : just sit down . lulu : what kind of rescue is this anyway ? you 're supposed to be some sort of tough guy , and you 're sitting with your hands there . jason : i 'm -- i 'm only here because someone heard you screaming because you tried to escape , right ? lulu : i tricked them , and we almost made it out , but -- but i got -- they brought us back . jason : ok , that 's -- you 're going to have to be faster this time , all right ? lulu : excuse me , but one of us is tied up and does not look good , and one of us does n't , so -- jason : ok , i want you to focus ! sit down . listen to me , you 're going to have one shot to save your own life . ok ? when alcazar 's men come in , i 'm going to create a diversion , and i want you to run out of this warehouse and straight to the cops .

[ scene_break ] alfred : stay away from this door . [ scene_break ] emily : carrots . raspberries . sauvignon blanc . grilled chicken . how did alfred know how to pack all of my favorites ? huh . nikolas : i say we get a little crazy and start with the crème brulee . emily : there 's crème brulee in here ? hold on . wait a second . nikolas : what ? emily : how did you know that there was crème brulee in there ? nikolas : um -- i saw it in there ? emily : yeah , i guess that would be possible if you had x - ray vision -- or if you told alfred to be sure to include it . you planned this whole thing , did n't you ? [ scene_break ] sam : you have absolutely no right to follow me here . lucky : how do you know i 'm following you ? maybe i just stopped by to see elizabeth . after all , she 's still my wife , and she 's pregnant with our child . what are you doing here ? why are you wearing scrubs ? sam : it 's a disguise , ok ? i did n't want to get followed when i came to see jason . because you 're helping him , are n't you ? [ scene_break ] nikolas : it 's true . it 's true . i wanted to spend what would 've been our second anniversary with you . so i asked alfred to set it up . emily : so why did n't you just ask me ? nikolas : because i was afraid you 'd say no . [ scene_break ] alfred : why are n't you in the main house looking after young spencer ? colleen : alfred , even nannies get to take a walk sometimes . and i 'm sure i heard nikolas calling for help . alfred : oh , it 's only for dramatic effect . mr. cassadine requested i make arrangements to lock himself and miss quartermaine in the tack room , along with a sturdy white wine and a lovely picnic dinner . colleen : why would he do that ? alfred : to commemorate their second wedding anniversary . he does n't wish to be disturbed . colleen : alfred , nikolas hates it when you play matchmaker . alfred : it 's clear you have far more than a professional interest in mr. cassadine . however , i doubt that will be a problem very much longer . he will almost certainly reunite with miss quartermaine , and her first priority will be to find a nanny to replace you . [ scene_break ] nikolas : i was afraid that this day would bring up all the memories of what was wrong with us , all the mistakes we made . emily : do n't even think about that . just think about spencer and the possibility that those bad times made us both stronger . maybe we had to go through all of that to get to where we are now . nikolas : and where are we now , exactly ? are we just friends or -- or are we more than that ? emily : what do you want us to be ? nikolas : a long time ago on valentine 's day , we were -- we were driving in a blizzard -- you remember . and we talked about -- we talked about the difference between friendship and -- and love . and then we decided to be -- to be friends . it was -- it was easier . i do n't know . maybe it still is . emily : but what do you want ? [ scene_break ] jax : these are some figures from a deal i did a few years ago from a takeover . they should be very helpful to dillon . georgie : thank you . thank you so much . this is exactly what he needs . i 'll make sure he attributes everything , do n't worry . jax : i hope he appreciates what you 're doing . georgie : i think he 'd like me better if i were dangling from a tree in the jungle , or if i had mysteriously disappeared overnight . jax : really ? that does n't seem like you . georgie : it 's not . i 'm sorry . i 'm actually describing lulu spencer , the drama queen of port charles . jax : oh . georgie : yeah , she 's always in some spectacular disaster , emotional or physical . yeah , sometimes she gets herself into them , sometimes they just happen , but dillon is always just drawn in . jax : yeah , the damsel in distress is pretty hard to resist . georgie : so where does that leave the rest of us -- the smart , steadfast people who know what we want to do ? i 'm so sorry . i do n't mean to talk to you about my personal life . but i 've noticed that people are always drawn to the people that are very worse for them . jax : the time - honored moth to the flame . [ scene_break ] mike : here you go , guys . dillon : thank you . carly : thank you . mike : all right . nice and fresh . carly : great . mike : yeah . carly : lulu told me what happened this summer . she got pregnant because a condom failed , and then she took the blame for lying to get you to sleep with her . dillon : uh -- she did lie . carly : you could 've said no . you could 've believed georgie . i mean , she was your wife at the time , was n't she ? dillon : yeah , but lulu had me -- carly : and then you went on sleeping with lulu several more times . then you finally went back to georgie and you let lulu take the blame for everything , so you pretty much skated through all of this . dillon : she aborted my child , carly . i would n't call that `` skating . `` carly : she had the abortion ; you did n't . she fell in love ; you did n't . she went through great lengths to be with you , and then she had to suffer the terrible consequences , did n't she ? and you still blew her off . dillon : it was n't like that , ok ? carly : you made it clear that you did n't love lulu , so she made a very difficult decision to move on with her life . but how is she supposed to move on with her life when you 're always around ? i do n't get it , dillon . you want to be her big hero and be her big protector , but every time she turns around , you 're proving to her how much you love georgie . now , that 's not fair to lulu , is it ? dillon : look , i do care about lulu , ok ? i do n't want her to get hurt again . but i 'm sorry , i still love georgie . carly : look , i know what it 's like to be in love with two people , ok ? one person is loving and trustworthy and strong , and the other is wild and dangerous , and you want them both . so you make bargains with yourself , dillon . you tell yourself that you 're going to love one and like the other , and you tell yourself that you 're going to trust one and be loyal to the other . but you 're going to get real confused , and sooner or later , you 're going to have to make a choice . dillon : i 'm sorry , are we still talking about me , or are we on to you ? carly : look , all i 'm saying is you can love lulu and you can love georgie , but you can not have them both . so have the decency to choose one .

i 'm not a fan , but i do n't want to see any harm come to the woman . liam : no , yeah , you 're right . yeah . that -- that makes sense . i mean , 'cause if something did happen to her , if she 'd , oh , had third - degree burns , then that would force you to have to feel guilty about something for once . bill : where are you going with this , liam ?

[ scene_break ] julian : your information means jack to me . i 'm out of the business . ava : so i heard . i 'm not buying it . my information about your mystery boss may be limited , but it is enough to know that this story about ric does not add up at all . julian : well , you do n't know what you 're talking about . ava : oh , i think i do . i think that you are still mobbed up just like the rest of us . and so this sonny bomb that i 'm sitting on will be extremely valuable to you . knowledge is power , after all , and you need both . julian : hypothetically , let 's say i 'm interested . what would you need me to do ? ava : i knew you 'd come around . listen to me very carefully . [ scene_break ] morgan : basically , i do n't want anything to do with either one of them . i mean , they could fall off the face of the earth for all i care . rosalie : i do n't blame you . that 's intense . morgan : yeah . but the kid -- you know , what if -- what if the kid is mine ? and that 's the thing i 've been trying not to think about for the last few months , but then i run into ava at the hospital , and she 's showing or whatever , and it kind of just makes -- rosalie : makes it real . morgan : yeah . rosalie : yeah . i 'm sorry . morgan : yeah , i mean , it 's not the kid 's fault , obviously , and i - i want to be a good father if i am the father . it 's just i do n't even know if i can do that right now , 'cause -- not if i have to be around her . rosalie : well , i think that 's fair . morgan : well , it 's fair to me . rosalie : you know how when you 're on an airplane and they tell you to fix your own oxygen mask first before helping anyone else ? morgan : uh - huh . rosalie : well , you 'll never be able to help that kid unless you help yourself first . morgan : wh - what , are you , like , dr. phil or something ?

[ scene_break ] alexis : mm . that is how every day should begin . julian : yeah , you think ? alexis : i think . i also think that -- that -- that dream line you had you should put in your back pocket or your front pocket ... julian : mm . alexis : ... whatever you like . julian : it was n't a line , alexis . every day , i wake up grateful for the time i spend with you . god knows i do n't deserve it . alexis : says who ? julian : pretty much everyone . alexis : all right , look , we 've had a few bumps in the road , but you walked away . you 're not answering to the big , bad crime boss anymore , so why do n't you try and let it go ? julian : easier said than done . alexis : where 's all this coming from ? julian : look , i know you have to pick up molly at the hospital , so ... alexis : yes , i do . i ca n't wait , actually . i 'm hoping she 'll come home with me , but what does this have to do with your past ? julian : alexis , we just spent our last night together . alexis : what do you mean this is our last night together ? i have no plans to end this anytime soon . julian : maybe later ? alexis : maybe never . what is going on with you ? julian : just trying to be realistic . alexis : about what ? julian : [ sighs ] about the difficult position you 're in -- i mean , wanting me in your life , while wanting molly underneath the same roof . alexis : the two are not mutually exclusive . julian : but they are . you know it , and i know it . molly 's never gon na move back here as long as i 'm in your life .

[ scene_break ] julian : your information means jack to me . i 'm out of the business . ava : so i heard . i 'm not buying it . my information about your mystery boss may be limited , but it is enough to know that this story about ric does not add up at all . julian : well , you do n't know what you 're talking about . ava : oh , i think i do . i think that you are still mobbed up just like the rest of us . and so this sonny bomb that i 'm sitting on will be extremely valuable to you . knowledge is power , after all , and you need both . julian : hypothetically , let 's say i 'm interested . what would you need me to do ? ava : i knew you 'd come around . listen to me very carefully . [ scene_break ] morgan : basically , i do n't want anything to do with either one of them . i mean , they could fall off the face of the earth for all i care . rosalie : i do n't blame you . that 's intense . morgan : yeah . but the kid -- you know , what if -- what if the kid is mine ? and that 's the thing i 've been trying not to think about for the last few months , but then i run into ava at the hospital , and she 's showing or whatever , and it kind of just makes -- rosalie : makes it real . morgan : yeah . rosalie : yeah . i 'm sorry . morgan : yeah , i mean , it 's not the kid 's fault , obviously , and i - i want to be a good father if i am the father . it 's just i do n't even know if i can do that right now , 'cause -- not if i have to be around her . rosalie : well , i think that 's fair . morgan : well , it 's fair to me . rosalie : you know how when you 're on an airplane and they tell you to fix your own oxygen mask first before helping anyone else ? morgan : uh - huh . rosalie : well , you 'll never be able to help that kid unless you help yourself first . morgan : wh - what , are you , like , dr. phil or something ?

[ buzzes , beeps ] victor : well , mr. harrell , you seem to be recovering nicely , after you botched the entire operation . levi : [ american accent ] it 's not my fault . that son of a bitch falconeri shot me . dante : stavros ? stavros : it is i . lulu : it 's not possible . you 're -- stavros : dead ? not quite . although i must applaud your parents . they made a valiant effort . your mother tried to put me in a deep freeze ... but it was not so permanent after all . i brought myself back from the brink of death ... [ chuckling ] for you , my ice princess . maxie : mac came to me before the wedding and told me that i should n't marry levi because you have feelings for me . i did n't believe him because mac despises levi , which turns out to be extremely perceptive on mac 's part . but when he told me about you ... i just assumed he was making it up as a way to stop the wedding . um ... was he making that up ? nathan : no . no , he was n't . i do have feelings for you , maxie . i have since the moment i laid eyes on you . maxie : really ? you 've had feelings for me since the day we met ? nathan : yeah , that night when i showed up for the sublet , and you opened the door , and ... i was just dazzled . maxie : well , now i know you have a concussion , because that was one of the worst times of my life . i had n't had a facial in months , my hair was a disaster , and to top it all off , i was in the middle of packing for a trip . god knows what i looked like . nathan : you looked beautiful . but it was -- it was more than just how you looked . we got to talking , and i could see how friendly you were and how charming , and [ sighs ] but there was something you were covering . and what i could see underneath all that bubbly personality was -- was real pain , and i did n't know the details at the time , but i knew that i wanted to comfort you . maxie : you tried . you gave me your handkerchief . nathan : we could n't have talked for more than an hour , but i just -- i just ft this connection to you . and then you were gone . and i was just in your apartment , thinking about you , wondering what you were doing . maxie : well , i thought i was finding myself , but as it turns out , i was being duped by a con man . nathan : one of the worst days i can remember , when i found out the truth about my mother , i got home , and i do n't even think i had the energy to turn the lights on . i just sat there in the dark and stared at nothing . [ inhales deeply ] [ sighs ] and then , all of a sudden , there you were , right when i needed comfort . i could n't , uh -- i could n't help but think that maybe you 'd been sent back to me to do it . nikolas : i have n't spoken to my uncle in months . what makes you think he has anything to do with this ? dr. obrecht : because i just spoke to him . nikolas : what ? anna : [ sighs ] dr. obrecht : the commissioner was n't doing anything to find my son ... so i called victor to see if he could help . anna : what makes you think victor cassadine could -- or even would help you ? britt : apparently , he 's helped her before with certain classified information . anna : like ... the wsb file you showed me concerning faison ? did victor get you that file ? how the hell did he get his hands on that ? dr. obrecht : because he 's the head of the wsb , you dummkopfs . levi : i ca n't believe i let that two - bit detective get the drop on me . victor : i know . it 's shocking , criminal mastermind that you are . levi : if you had bothered to return my calls instead of leaving me stranded in the safe house with the two hostages -- victor : what 's done is done ! i would n't worry if i were you . dante certainly ca n't harm you now . levi : all i care about is extracting a little vengeance . where is he ? what room is he in ? the way i see it , i e him a bullet . victor : may i remind you that you work for me , mr. harrell -- that it is i who decides who gets a bullet , n you ? levi : so , you 're denying me my pound of flesh ? victor : well , at the very least , i 'm postponing it . i 'm afraid dante and his beloved wife are otherwise engaged at the moment . stavros : oh , i have missed you . oh , have you missed me , too ? dante : you get the hell away from her . stavros : or you 'll what ? you look entirely impotent , a feeling you must be used to . dante : i 'm gon na kill you . stavros : [ laughs ] your husband ca n't bother us . there 's no one to interrupt our reunion . lulu : that 's fine by me . i take care of myself . stavros : i know you can , but it 's gon na be so much more fun if i take care of you . lulu : [ spits ] stavros : [ laughs ] patrick : sam and i are gon na go talk for a second . what 's your driver 's name ? spencer : chandler . patrick : okay , you 're gon na wait with chandler for a second , all right ? sam : here , sweetie . patrick : thank you . sam : [ groans ] patrick : ca n't really take what this kid 's saying serious , can we ? sam : i know . i know . i know . it seems impossible . patrick : but is n't that what he does ? i mean , he does impossible . he got a band to play for emma at the nurses ' ball . he took off on his father and terrified him . sam : okay , spencer does tend to let his imagination get the best of him sometimes . patrick : but then there 's luke . i mean , luke is not anybody 's idea of a perfect person . he 's got regrets , right ? i would imagine his biggest one is killing his grandson , although it was a terrible accident , but , i mean , going after emma on purpose ? that just does n't -- sam : no , no , no . it does n't . this is definitely not the luke that i know . patrick : but what , sam ? sam : i do n't know . okay , so , it -- it seems like he 's been a little off lately . patrick : what do you mean by `` off `` ? sam : no , he 's -- i do n't know . he 's -- he 's erratic and irrational and just off . patrick : okay , well , keep going . what are you talking about ? sam : um , i - i do n't know . like , you know luke -- he does n't care what anyone thinks about him ever . patrick : right . sam : right ? but lately , he 's been -- he 's been , like , really nice and then -- and then really mean all of a sudden . and when on earth would he ever marry anybody at the nurses ' ball in front of everyone ? that 's just not like him . so i think maybe we should hear spencer out and just see what he has to say . patrick : okay , i 'm gon na go bring them in . emma , spencer , come in , please . all right , spencer . now , you said that luke caused the accident because you knew too much . what are you talking about ? what do you know ? spencer : i knew luke was after uncle sonny . carly : i understand that you 're worried , you know . come on . if anyone can take care of himself , it 's dante . he 's tough like his dad . sonny : do n't i know it . i mean , i 've been on the receiving end of his anger too many times . carly : mm . see ? i told you . if he can handle you , he can handle anything . [ chuckles ] sonny : yeah . carly : i - i 'm gon na go . rocco is in good hands . i 'm gon na get out of here . sonny : hey , carly . can you not go ? carly : sonny , please do n't push it . sonny : uh , what am i -- i 'm not pushing . what do you mean ? do n't push what ? carly : you know what i mean , okay ? look , i do n't want to tempt fate . we should n't be alone together . sonny : we 're not ale . we 're looking after rocco . carly : hey . sonny : what ? carly : i do n't want people thinking i 'm spending time alone with you . kiki already knows what happened between us . sonny : she did n't say anything . carly : yet . i did n't tell you what happened after i left your office ? i went to see franco . kiki was there . she went straight to him after i talked to her . sonny : and ? carly : and i think she was going to tell him , but i interrupted her . ultimately , she did n't say anything . sonny : like i said . carly : no . i 'm hoping she bought the logic that if she tells franco , it 's going to hurt him . sonny : who care -- i do n't give a damn . who cares if franco gets hurt ? carly : kiki cares , and if she finds out we 're spending time together , she may change her mind . i 'm -- i 'm hoping that she believed me when i told her that everything that happened is over between us . sonny : [ sighs ] but you -- you do n't really believe that , do you ? carly : sonny . patrick : luke was going after sonny ? how do you know that ? spencer : because i heard him the night of my father and britt 's engagement party , after ma dumped me . emma : you deserved it . you yelled at me about the egg being broken . you were mean . spencer : and i 've apologized . sam : but you were still upset that night ? spencer : s , my pain was still too fresh to endure the party , so i went to the stables to seek solace , and that 's when i overheard luke . patrick : what did he say , exactly ? spencer : he was talking to this man about how he wanted to take down uncle sonny . sam : wait a minute . what man ? spencer : i do n't know , but i went to the quartermaine estate to confront him about it . patrick : you -- you went by yourself ? spencer : yes , and i was unfairly punished by my father for missing school . i was unable to tell him the reason for my quest . sam : spencer , did you actually talk to luke ? spencer : yes . and he said that if i told anyone else what i had heard , he 'd hurt emma . emma : but i did n't do anything . spencer : i 'm sorry , emma . he used my feelings for you against me , and that very night , i saw emma on the news right after she 'd been in that car accident . sam : mm . patrick : yeah , the -- the news crew was down there after the accident . anna was taking care of emma . is that what you saw ? spencer : yes . and i knew it was a warning from luke , so i called him , and i promised i would n't tell anyone . and i did n't ... until now . that 's the truth and the whole truth and nothing but the truth . so help me , god . anna : victor cassadine is the head of the wsb ? what ? dr. obrecht : oh , yes . for quite some time . who do you think gave me my immunity deal ? nikolas : oh , you 've got to be -- my uncle victor is the one that kept you out of prison ? of -- of course . anna : i knew something was rotten in the upper levels of the bureau . it 's all become so secretive and closed - off . that 's -- that would explain why i could n't get a straight answer about where all these orders were coming from . nikolas : yeah . dr. obrecht : obviously , they did n't trust you with such sensitive information . and who would ? a police commissioner with ties to organized crime ? anna : i do n't have ties to any criminal enterprise . dr. obrecht : it 's common knowledge that duke lavery works for sonny corinthos . anna : no , he does n't work for him . dr. obrecht : you ca n't -- nikolas : stop it ! this is about finding lulu and the others , not your little personal vendettas you got going on with each other . anna : i 'm sorry , nikolas . you 're right . you 're right . okay . [ inhales , exhales deeply ] oh , so assuming , then , that victor cassadine is , in fact , head of the wsb , was he involved with the kidnapping ? did you know that he was behind this the whole time ? dr. obrecht : no , i - i had no idea until today . i simply called him to ask for help finding nathan . anna : oh . why would n't one criminal call in a favor from another ? dr. obrecht : what did you expect ? you were n't getting anything done , so i had no choice but to go over your head . anna : ah . dr. obrecht : but when i spoke to victor , he said something that led me to believe he was involved . anna : oh , yes , did he ? what did he say ? britt : i think i know . did it have something to do with him being nathan 's father ? levi : so you defrosted your nephew ? victor : [ chuckles ] it 's a miracle that doctor was able to successfully revive him from stasis . levi : and now he 's reunited with lulu falconeri , who he previously kidnapped to force her to marry him ? what a charmer . victor : stavros may be crazy . but he 's my family . levi : how nice of uncle victor to get him a back - from - the - near - dead present . victor : [ inhales deeply ] [ exhales deeply ] there are n't many cassadines left . well , at the very least , i can give stavros something that he really wants , and in this case , it 's his beloved ice princess . he has such big plans for the two of them . stavros : i suppose i should have expected that . lulu : come closer to me , i 'll scratch your eyes out . stavros : that 's the fiery lulu i came to know and love . dante : i told you -- you touch her , and i will kill you . stavros : enough , detective . lulu has already made it painfully apparent that she can take care of herself . you got that feisty side from your mother . that 's one of the things that made me fall in love with you , the reason i wanted to marry you . lulu : you saw me in a turkish airport , and you fixated on who you thought i was . you do n't know a damn thing about who i actually am ! stavros : at first . but then we spent some time together . lulu : you kidnapped me ! stavros : yes , and you did resist me . that 's part of the challenge . but i know i will wear you down . lulu : you truly are insane . stavros : huh ? we can be together at last ... and start a family . [ chuckles ] maxie : i had no idea you felt that way when i got back . nathan : well , i mean , you would n't have , 'cause that 's when levi came back and took all the air out of the room and the wind out of my sails . maxie : he was pretty obnoxious , was n't he ? nathan : [ scoffs ] maxie : what am i saying ? he was , like , obnoxious to the 15th power , and was even worse -- parroting every stupid little thing he said . nathan : well , that 's -- and it all went downhill from there . i mean , before we knew it , we were at each others ' throats , and i could n't figure out what had happened , and i started thinking maybe i was wrong -- that this girl that i met that i thought was so wonderful did n't actually exist , and i just made her up in my head , but -- but i knew she was real . i - i could see flashes of her -- of you . underneath levi and all his self - righteous posturing and all that nonsense , you were still the same big - hearted , bubbly girl that i met . you just were in a lot of pain . maxie : yeah . levi must have seen that pain , too , because that 's exactly what he used to manipulate me , and i was stupid enough to let him . nathan : hey . hey . you are not dumb , okay ? you 're smart and insightful . you were just hurt badly , and that affects your judgment , and levi saw that and exploited your heartache for his own gain . maxie : all his talk about inner peace and caring about others -- it 's just a cover . he -- he ruined my chances of getting georgie back . he ruined my life just to get ahold of my mom 's aztec jewelry . and now we 're here . i am so sorry i pulled you into this . nathan : it 's not all bad . maxie : how can you even say that ? nathan : being literally chained in the same room as you helped me get all this out in the open . so , now you know exactly how i feel about you , but i still have no idea how you feel about me . carly : sonny . sonny : what ? carly : sonny . sonny : what ? carly : [ sighs ] rocco : [ crying ] carly : well , someone , um , is awake . sonny : [ sighs ] carly : well , i 'm gon na get out of here . sonny : hey , buddy . what 's all the racket ? come on . can you please just not go right now ? carly : you seem to have everything under control . sonny : no , no . it 's just that he 's gon na be a handful , and he wants his mommy and daddy . ai n't that right , little buddy ? yeah , he just told me he wanted his mommy and daddy . rocco : [ continues crying ] sonny : can you -- carly : what makes you think i 'm gon na have any more luck than you ? sonny : remember when morgan was his age ? he had a set of lungs on him , and crying so loud , and the only one that can calm him down was you . okay , look , if you do n't do it for -- for me , just do it for the -- for the baby . come on . carly : okay . sonny : he 's really sad right now . carly : uh , yeah . hey , rocco . what 's going on ? you want some company ? ooh , come here . ohh . hey . he 's okay . [ both chuckle ] sonny : told you so . lulu : you are insane ! i already have a family . dante and -- and -- stavros : your son , rocco ? i am aware of your other biological ties . our child will be of noble blood , not the blood of some peasants from bensonhurst . dante : beats being from some lunatic inbreds like yourself . stavros : our child will be a cassadine , a prince . dante : your child will be a freak and crazy , just like you and your family are . stavros : will you shut up ? ! lulu : look , if you 've got some sort of sick , twisted idea about getting me pregnant , the joke is on you . stavros : [ chuckles ] lulu : yeah , thanks to what you did to me on that godforsaken island , i ca n't have your child . stavros : oh , well , that 's where you 're wrong . levi : so , that 's what your nephew 's going to do ? no offense , but that guy is one sick bastard . victor : [ chuckles ] that 's not the first time someone has said that out a cassadine . our plans are sometimes characterized as `` out of the box , `` but then that is both a blessing and a curse for the family . but we tend to get what it is we want . levi : okay , yeah , and as fascinating as this guy stavros ' plans are , i 'm more concerned about my own . so , tell me ... when do i get what i want ? anna : dr. westbourne , are you saying that nathan is a cassadine ? nikolas : we do n't know for sure . britt : she wo n't say . dr. obrecht : because it is irrelevant . what matters right now is that victor could be holding all those people captive . i have a strong suspicion that nathan is locked up . anna : oh . where ? where -- where is he locked up ? dr. obrecht : well , i 'm certainly not going to tell you that -- blurt out the location . i require certain assurances -- anna : just sp it out , woman . where is he ? dr. obrecht : fine . i 'll tell you . but first , i want to know exactly what happened to cesar . maxie : nathan ... nathan : yeah , i know . i did n't mean to put you on the spot . you left town to put your life back together . i know you did n't spend all your time away thinking about me . maxie : actually , i did think about you while i was gone . nathan : you did ? maxie : yeah . when i left on the plane , the whole way there , i kept thinking about how nice you were to me at the exact time that i needed it . and then i thought about how you suggested that i stay , and i found myself wondering if i should have . i did think about something else you said . nathan : what was that ? maxie : well , when i told you that i was leaving to find myself , you said ... nathan : for what it 's worth , you do n't seem so bad the way you are . nathan : you were n't . you 're not . maxie : neither are you . patrick : this is crazy , right ? i mean , he believes his own story , that 's for sure . sam : well , yeah , i mean , but he also believes that emma really could have gotten hurt , so ... patrick : so what do we do ? do we go to anna ? spencer : no ! you ca n't . emma : spencer , it 's okay . my daddy just wants to talk to my grandma . spencer : who 's the commissioner of the police . please , dr. drake . you ca n't tell the police , or luke will finish the job . sam : luke 's not even in town right now . you do n't have to worry . spencer : that you know of ! he could be watching us right now . do n't you care about emma ? you could be putting her in danger . please ... do n't repeat what i told you . sam : maybe for right now , we should just explore this on our own . spencer : so , are you going to tell her ? emma : daddy , i 'm scared . patrick : i know . i understand -- i mean , everything that 's happened after the accident . but i promise you that nothing 's gon na happen to you , okay ? i 'll protect you . emma : but what if what spencer 's saying is right , and that bad man finds out that spencer told us the truth ? what if he comes after me again ? sam : no , no one 's gon na hurt you , sweetie patrick : sam 's right . okay ? nothing 's gon na happen to you . and as of right now , we 're not gon na tell the police , okay ? spencer : [ exhales deeply ] patrick : it 's just gon na be our little secret . emma : okay . patrick : okay ? now it 's time to get you guys to school . you 're already late . spencer : my driver will have to explain my tardiness . patrick : well , tell your driver that i 'll take you guys to school , and i 'll explain to the teachers why you 're both late , okay ? spencer : okay . patrick : [ sighs ] sam : hey , patrick . um , sorry , but we got distracted , but what -- what were you gon na say before ? victor : you 're very demanding for an underling . may i remind you who 's in charge here ? levi : i do n't think my demands are so outrageous . you made me certain promises . victor : which i intend to keep , but right now , i am consumed with more pressing issues . levi : what issues ? maxie and lulu are safely locked up with those two annoying detectives , west and falconeri . victor : i have other guests to accommodate . levi : what other guests ? victor : you know , suffice it to say , as the head of this organization , i have many balls in the air , not to even mention my personal life . but right now , i have someone else on my mind . dr. obrecht : i 'll tell you everything you want to know . i 'll lead you right to victor 's doorstep . all i ask in return is the absolute truth about cesar . i want to know exactly what happened to him once and for all . nikolas : are you bargaining with my sister 's life right now ? britt : mother , if this is true , nathan is in as much danger as the rest of them . anna : nathan and dante we can be pretty sure did n't go quietly . nathan may very well be hurt . at the very least , we know he is going to try to escape . so we need to get in there and get them out before someone gets killed . do you understand ? britt : you gave up nathan because of my father , because you felt it was more important to chase him around than raise your own son . you claim that was a terrible mistake , that you wanted to make amends , and that you really care about nathan . well , if that 's true , then put your money where your mouth is . forget my father for one minute and tell us what you know . nathan : it 's nice to know that our meeting meant as much to you as it did to me , but i 'm still not entirely sure you answered my question . maxie : [ sighs ] i know . um , i 'm sorry . i just do n't know if i trust my feelings right now . i was just about to marry a man that i thought i was in love with , and it turns out i did n't even really know him at all . and i was gon na marry someone who was using me . nathan : max , levi was doing everything he could to make you think that he was a good guy . i got to see his true colors a couple of times when we were alone , but to you , he was the perfect boyfriend . maxie : no , that 's just it . he was n't perfect . there were so many times he would slip up and show how selfish or callous he was , but i would just give him the benefit of the doubt . instead of really looking at the man i was involved with , i would just defend him blindly to everyone . i even said those stupid wedding vows . i mean , if you had n't shown up when you did -- - thank you for that , by the way . nathan : you 're very welcome . maxie : and i meant what i said when levi was holding me at gunpoint . i would have been totally fine with you shooting him . nathan : yeah . [ groans ] i could n't get a clean shot , though . maxie : okay , well , please do n't take this as any sort of criticism , but i think you were being hypersensitive in a situation where you really did n't need to be . i mean , i could tell by how steady you were holding that gun that you had a perfect shot , and i was actually in no real danger at all . nathan : well , i appreciate your faith in me . [ sighs ] maxie : that 's just it . it makes perfect sense for me to have faith in you , but not too long ago , i also had faith in levi , which has turned out to be very stupid , and i do n't trust my judgment . i just do n't know if i 'm in the position to be telling anyone how i feel about them . nathan : and by `` anyone , `` you mean me . maxie : i 'm sorry , nathan . i just -- i ca n't answer your question . lulu : let me be clear . i do n't have any eggs . i ca n't get pregnant , no matter how amazing you think our children would be . the only potential i have for another biological child is my only remaining embryo that i created with dante , and that is under lock and key in port charles . stavros : i am well aware of your issues . however , i 'm not referring to your embryo . i am referring to ours . lulu : what the hell are you talking about ? stavros : oh , dearest lulu . i had a feeling you would n't recall . let me refresh your memory . back on cassadine island , before i put you into the deep freeze , i took the liberty of appropriating one of your eggs and fertilized it personally . lulu : that 's a lie . stavros : actually , no , it 's not . but you do n't have to take my word for it . the embryo in question ... is right here . carly : you know , i went to see ava . sonny : what do you mean ? you did ? carly : yeah . i mean , i had to fight through her wall of goons to get to her , but i did get in that apartment . sonny : why -- why would you subject yourself to ava ? carly : 'cause i wanted her to take a paternity test . and of course she refused . she said it was too invasive . she did n't want to hurt the baby . sonny : well , she was n't that concerned about the baby when she was drinking that martini . rocco : [ fussing ] carly : i know . oh , it 's okay . i know . i should have known better than to ask her to think about someone other than herself . sonny : mm . carly : but , you know , it s for morgan . he 's so distraught over the uncertainty . you know , and i just -- i do n't know . i thought that -- that she would do it for morgan -- that she would want to give him some peace of mind . but no , it looks like we 're all gon na be playing the waiting game . she is going to use that baby as leverage as long as she possibly can . sonny : yeah , well , you know , the baby 's an insurance policy for her . carly : so , are you still planning on , um ... sonny : i got to do it for connie . carly : what 's gon na happen to the baby ? carly : with ava out of the picture , if that baby turns out to be morgan 's , we have a big problem on our hands . sonny , our younger son is immature on a good day . there 's no way he 's equipped to handle a baby on h own . sonny : we 're his parents . we 're -- we 're there to help . rocco : [ coos ] carly : [ chuckles ] okay . sonny : yeah . carly : what if the baby turns out to be yours ? who 's gon na help you ? sonny : we will cross that bridge when we get to it . hey . we 're gon na cross that bridge , right ? right ? sam : before spencer and emma came to us about the accident , you were gon na tell me something about the clinic . it seemed pretty important . patrick : well , yeah , it was important , but after hearing that luke might have put rafe up to running us off the road , it just -- it does n't seem that important anymore . levi : who 's on your mind ? victor : someone i thought i loved , someone i thought i could trust . [ scoffs ] but i 'm not sure anymore . britt : mother , please . you kept telling nathan how much you love him . prove it by telling us where victor 's holding him . dr. obrecht : they 're all at the clinic in scarsdale , crichton - clark . hurry , before it 's too late . nathan : it 's okay . you do n't have to -- you do n't have to give me an answer about your feelings for me right now . i know the , uh , the circumstances are less than ideal . maxie : you could say that . [ both chuckle ] nathan : we should -- we should probably focus on trying to get out of here , anyways . maxie : yeah . probably should . stavros : say hello to our future progeny , lulu . lulu : i ca n't have your child . it 's not happening . dante : i do n't believe this . stavros : ah ! detective , believe it . i must admit , lulu , that when i put you in the deep freeze , i thought that perhaps it would cause you to become infertile . dante : and you did it anyway , you sick son of a bitch ? ! stavros : ah , ah , ah . i took precautions . what we have here is a miracle of modern science , our child -- yours and mine . all that 's left to do with it ... is implant it ... right there . [ next_on ] julian : ( to alexis ) you gon na let me in ? ava : ( to jordan ) do n't make the same mistake i did . t.j. : ( to shawn ) what 's going on , man ? who you been seein ' ? molly : what the hell are you doing here ? olivia : ( to ned ) we do n't even know if they 're still alive . maxie : ( with nathan ) where are dante and lulu ? stavros : ( to lulu , as dante glares at him ) you will have my child ! | carly and sonny kiss again while babysitting rocco at dante and lulu 's apartment . carly tells sonny that she went to ava 's apartment to demand a paternity test , but she refused . carly wonders what will happen to the baby after sonny kills ava . she concludes that if the baby is morgan 's , he is ill- equipped to raise a baby on his own . sonny says they will help morgan . | <s>[INST] emma : please , spencer . patrick : come on , buddy . tell us what you know . sam : yeah , we will protect you and emma . you just need to help us . spencer : it was luke spencer . patrick : luke ? you 're saying luke spencer 's responsible for my son 's death ? [ knock on door ] carly : olivia ? here to relieve you of babysitting duties . [ chuckles ] and i even brought the little guy a present . dr. obrecht : commissioner . anna : i told you what would happen if -- dr. obrecht : listen to me . nathan and the others -- i think i know where they are . anna : what are you talking about ? dr. obrecht : you useless woman . why do n't you just shut up for once and listen ? i 'm telling you i know where they are . victor : now , the lab is waiting for these samples for dna comparison . that test gets top priority . woman : yes , sir . is there anything else that you 'd like to go over , sir ? would you like to go over your phone messages ? victor : no , no , no . thank you very much . that is the most pressing matter , yes . i 'll answer this one , one way or the other , liesl . nathan : it killed me to watch you second - guess yourself , all right ? to watch levi tear you down piece by piece , or worse y , to teach you to do the tearing yourself , all right ? i ca n't watch that anymore , maxie . no more hurting yourself , okay ? especially not over me . maxie : [ sighs ] um , you 're bruised , beaten , and chained to a wall right now because of me . nathan : technically , it 's because of the guards . maxie : no , i mean it . we would [ sighs ] all be at home right now , happy and safe , if i had just listened to my heart and not gone through with that stupid wedding . nathan : why did you want to cancel the wedding ? is it 'cause you saw levi for who he really was ? maxie : no . it was because of you . nathan : what do you mean because of me ? lulu : just tell me . what is my dad being investigated for ? dante : he could potentially be involved in -- [ buzzes , lock beeps , clicks ] dante : someone 's coming . lulu : oh , my god . dante : what ? lulu : no . it ca n't be . stavros : hello , lulu . spencer : it 's all true , and i do n't know what horror could transpire now that i 've told you . patrick : okay , spencer , i think might be a little confused about what happened . spencer : luke said he 'd hurt emma unless i kept quiet . patrick : see , that 's a little hard for me wrap my head around because luke is a family friend . he 's one of anna and robert 's closest friends . i do n't know why he would want to hurt their granddaughter . spencer : because of me . i knew too much . sonny : rocco , look who 's here . carly : yeah . sonny : see that ? carly : ah . what are you doing here ? olivia was supposed to be babysitting . sonny : yeah , well , uh , he -- he -- he was so fussy all night , and not that olivia can get any sleep , but she was so frantic , so i told her to go home , you know , get some shut - eye . carly : she 's really worried , huh ? sonny : well , you know , first , lulu 's missing . now dante -- dante 's gone , you know ? and she 's terrified . so am i . anna : how could you possibly know where lulu , maxie , and my two detectives are ? unless what -- are you conspiring with levi dunkleman -- peter harrell , whoever -- or agent scribner that 's in the hospital ? are you working with them ? dr. obrecht : i can assure you , i am not involved with petty jewel thieves . anna : then how the hell would you know the whereabouts of the people they 've kidnapped ? dr. obrecht : my methods are far more effective -- nikolas : if you know where my sister is , you 'd better start talking right now . dr. obrecht : or what , prince ? are you going to have me thrown in the dungeon ? britt : if you know something , just tell us , please . dr. obrecht : i know because of victor cassadine . nikolas : of course . my uncle . anna : well , was n't he in town a few months ago ? nikolas : yeah , he showed up for an unexplained visit . britt : apparently , nikolas ' uncle has some sort of past with my mother -- how much , we 're still trying to determine . victor : well , what are we waiting for ? i want answers . right away , sir . [ buzzes , beeps ] victor : well , mr. harrell , you seem to be recovering nicely , after you botched the entire operation . levi : [ american accent ] it 's not my fault . that son of a bitch falconeri shot me . dante : stavros ? stavros : it is i . lulu : it 's not possible . you 're -- stavros : dead ? not quite . although i must applaud your parents . they made a valiant effort . your mother tried to put me in a deep freeze ... but it was not so permanent after all . i brought myself back from the brink of death ... [ chuckling ] for you , my ice princess . maxie : mac came to me before the wedding and told me that i should n't marry levi because you have feelings for me . i did n't believe him because mac despises levi , which turns out to be extremely perceptive on mac 's part . but when he told me about you ... i just assumed he was making it up as a way to stop the wedding . um ... was he making that up ? nathan : no . no , he was n't . i do have feelings for you , maxie . i have since the moment i laid eyes on you . maxie : really ? you 've had feelings for me since the day we met ? nathan : yeah , that night when i showed up for the sublet , and you opened the door , and ... i was just dazzled . maxie : well , now i know you have a concussion , because that was one of the worst times of my life . i had n't had a facial in months , my hair was a disaster , and to top it all off , i was in the middle of packing for a trip . god knows what i looked like . nathan : you looked beautiful . but it was -- it was more than just how you looked . we got to talking , and i could see how friendly you were and how charming , and [ sighs ] but there was something you were covering . and what i could see underneath all that bubbly personality was -- was real pain , and i did n't know the details at the time , but i knew that i wanted to comfort you . maxie : you tried . you gave me your handkerchief . nathan : we could n't have talked for more than an hour , but i just -- i just ft this connection to you . and then you were gone . and i was just in your apartment , thinking about you , wondering what you were doing . maxie : well , i thought i was finding myself , but as it turns out , i was being duped by a con man . nathan : one of the worst days i can remember , when i found out the truth about my mother , i got home , and i do n't even think i had the energy to turn the lights on . i just sat there in the dark and stared at nothing . [ inhales deeply ] [ sighs ] and then , all of a sudden , there you were , right when i needed comfort . i could n't , uh -- i could n't help but think that maybe you 'd been sent back to me to do it . nikolas : i have n't spoken to my uncle in months . what makes you think he has anything to do with this ? dr. obrecht : because i just spoke to him . nikolas : what ? anna : [ sighs ] dr. obrecht : the commissioner was n't doing anything to find my son ... so i called victor to see if he could help . anna : what makes you think victor cassadine could -- or even would help you ? britt : apparently , he 's helped her before with certain classified information . anna : like ... the wsb file you showed me concerning faison ? did victor get you that file ? how the hell did he get his hands on that ? dr. obrecht : because he 's the head of the wsb , you dummkopfs . levi : i ca n't believe i let that two - bit detective get the drop on me . victor : i know . it 's shocking , criminal mastermind that you are . levi : if you had bothered to return my calls instead of leaving me stranded in the safe house with the two hostages -- victor : what 's done is done ! i would n't worry if i were you . dante certainly ca n't harm you now . levi : all i care about is extracting a little vengeance . where is he ? what room is he in ? the way i see it , i e him a bullet . victor : may i remind you that you work for me , mr. harrell -- that it is i who decides who gets a bullet , n you ? levi : so , you 're denying me my pound of flesh ? victor : well , at the very least , i 'm postponing it . i 'm afraid dante and his beloved wife are otherwise engaged at the moment . stavros : oh , i have missed you . oh , have you missed me , too ? dante : you get the hell away from her . stavros : or you 'll what ? you look entirely impotent , a feeling you must be used to . dante : i 'm gon na kill you . stavros : [ laughs ] your husband ca n't bother us . there 's no one to interrupt our reunion . lulu : that 's fine by me . i take care of myself . stavros : i know you can , but it 's gon na be so much more fun if i take care of you . lulu : [ spits ] stavros : [ laughs ] patrick : sam and i are gon na go talk for a second . what 's your driver 's name ? spencer : chandler . patrick : okay , you 're gon na wait with chandler for a second , all right ? sam : here , sweetie . patrick : thank you . sam : [ groans ] patrick : ca n't really take what this kid 's saying serious , can we ? sam : i know . i know . i know . it seems impossible . patrick : but is n't that what he does ? i mean , he does impossible . he got a band to play for emma at the nurses ' ball . he took off on his father and terrified him . sam : okay , spencer does tend to let his imagination get the best of him sometimes . patrick : but then there 's luke . i mean , luke is not anybody 's idea of a perfect person . he 's got regrets , right ? i would imagine his biggest one is killing his grandson , although it was a terrible accident , but , i mean , going after emma on purpose ? that just does n't -- sam : no , no , no . it does n't . this is definitely not the luke that i know . patrick : but what , sam ? sam : i do n't know . okay , so , it -- it seems like he 's been a little off lately . patrick : what do you mean by `` off `` ? sam : no , he 's -- i do n't know . he 's -- he 's erratic and irrational and just off . patrick : okay , well , keep going . what are you talking about ? sam : um , i - i do n't know . like , you know luke -- he does n't care what anyone thinks about him ever . patrick : right . sam : right ? but lately , he 's been -- he 's been , like , really nice and then -- and then really mean all of a sudden . and when on earth would he ever marry anybody at the nurses ' ball in front of everyone ? that 's just not like him . so i think maybe we should hear spencer out and just see what he has to say . patrick : okay , i 'm gon na go bring them in . emma , spencer , come in , please . all right , spencer . now , you said that luke caused the accident because you knew too much . what are you talking about ? what do you know ? spencer : i knew luke was after uncle sonny . carly : i understand that you 're worried , you know . come on . if anyone can take care of himself , it 's dante . he 's tough like his dad . sonny : do n't i know it . i mean , i 've been on the receiving end of his anger too many times . carly : mm . see ? i told you . if he can handle you , he can handle anything . [ chuckles ] sonny : yeah . carly : i - i 'm gon na go . rocco is in good hands . i 'm gon na get out of here . sonny : hey , carly . can you not go ? carly : sonny , please do n't push it . sonny : uh , what am i -- i 'm not pushing . what do you mean ? do n't push what ? carly : you know what i mean , okay ? look , i do n't want to tempt fate . we should n't be alone together . sonny : we 're not ale . we 're looking after rocco . carly : hey . sonny : what ? carly : i do n't want people thinking i 'm spending time alone with you . kiki already knows what happened between us . sonny : she did n't say anything . carly : yet . i did n't tell you what happened after i left your office ? i went to see franco . kiki was there . she went straight to him after i talked to her . sonny : and ? carly : and i think she was going to tell him , but i interrupted her . ultimately , she did n't say anything . sonny : like i said . carly : no . i 'm hoping she bought the logic that if she tells franco , it 's going to hurt him . sonny : who care -- i do n't give a damn . who cares if franco gets hurt ? carly : kiki cares , and if she finds out we 're spending time together , she may change her mind . i 'm -- i 'm hoping that she believed me when i told her that everything that happened is over between us . sonny : [ sighs ] but you -- you do n't really believe that , do you ? carly : sonny . patrick : luke was going after sonny ? how do you know that ? spencer : because i heard him the night of my father and britt 's engagement party , after ma dumped me . emma : you deserved it . you yelled at me about the egg being broken . you were mean . spencer : and i 've apologized . sam : but you were still upset that night ? spencer : s , my pain was still too fresh to endure the party , so i went to the stables to seek solace , and that 's when i overheard luke . patrick : what did he say , exactly ? spencer : he was talking to this man about how he wanted to take down uncle sonny . sam : wait a minute . what man ? spencer : i do n't know , but i went to the quartermaine estate to confront him about it . patrick : you -- you went by yourself ? spencer : yes , and i was unfairly punished by my father for missing school . i was unable to tell him the reason for my quest . sam : spencer , did you actually talk to luke ? spencer : yes . and he said that if i told anyone else what i had heard , he 'd hurt emma . emma : but i did n't do anything . spencer : i 'm sorry , emma . he used my feelings for you against me , and that very night , i saw emma on the news right after she 'd been in that car accident . sam : mm . patrick : yeah , the -- the news crew was down there after the accident . anna was taking care of emma . is that what you saw ? spencer : yes . and i knew it was a warning from luke , so i called him , and i promised i would n't tell anyone . and i did n't ... until now . that 's the truth and the whole truth and nothing but the truth . so help me , god . anna : victor cassadine is the head of the wsb ? what ? dr. obrecht : oh , yes . for quite some time . who do you think gave me my immunity deal ? nikolas : oh , you 've got to be -- my uncle victor is the one that kept you out of prison ? of -- of course . anna : i knew something was rotten in the upper levels of the bureau . it 's all become so secretive and closed - off . that 's -- that would explain why i could n't get a straight answer about where all these orders were coming from . nikolas : yeah . dr. obrecht : obviously , they did n't trust you with such sensitive information . and who would ? a police commissioner with ties to organized crime ? anna : i do n't have ties to any criminal enterprise . dr. obrecht : it 's common knowledge that duke lavery works for sonny corinthos . anna : no , he does n't work for him . dr. obrecht : you ca n't -- nikolas : stop it ! this is about finding lulu and the others , not your little personal vendettas you got going on with each other . anna : i 'm sorry , nikolas . you 're right . you 're right . okay . [ inhales , exhales deeply ] oh , so assuming , then , that victor cassadine is , in fact , head of the wsb , was he involved with the kidnapping ? did you know that he was behind this the whole time ? dr. obrecht : no , i - i had no idea until today . i simply called him to ask for help finding nathan . anna : oh . why would n't one criminal call in a favor from another ? dr. obrecht : what did you expect ? you were n't getting anything done , so i had no choice but to go over your head . anna : ah . dr. obrecht : but when i spoke to victor , he said something that led me to believe he was involved . anna : oh , yes , did he ? what did he say ? britt : i think i know . did it have something to do with him being nathan 's father ? levi : so you defrosted your nephew ? victor : [ chuckles ] it 's a miracle that doctor was able to successfully revive him from stasis . levi : and now he 's reunited with lulu falconeri , who he previously kidnapped to force her to marry him ? what a charmer . victor : stavros may be crazy . but he 's my family . levi : how nice of uncle victor to get him a back - from - the - near - dead present . victor : [ inhales deeply ] [ exhales deeply ] there are n't many cassadines left . well , at the very least , i can give stavros something that he really wants , and in this case , it 's his beloved ice princess . he has such big plans for the two of them . stavros : i suppose i should have expected that . lulu : come closer to me , i 'll scratch your eyes out . stavros : that 's the fiery lulu i came to know and love . dante : i told you -- you touch her , and i will kill you . stavros : enough , detective . lulu has already made it painfully apparent that she can take care of herself . you got that feisty side from your mother . that 's one of the things that made me fall in love with you , the reason i wanted to marry you . lulu : you saw me in a turkish airport , and you fixated on who you thought i was . you do n't know a damn thing about who i actually am ! stavros : at first . but then we spent some time together . lulu : you kidnapped me ! stavros : yes , and you did resist me . that 's part of the challenge . but i know i will wear you down . lulu : you truly are insane . stavros : huh ? we can be together at last ... and start a family . [ chuckles ] maxie : i had no idea you felt that way when i got back . nathan : well , i mean , you would n't have , 'cause that 's when levi came back and took all the air out of the room and the wind out of my sails . maxie : he was pretty obnoxious , was n't he ? nathan : [ scoffs ] maxie : what am i saying ? he was , like , obnoxious to the 15th power , and was even worse -- parroting every stupid little thing he said . nathan : well , that 's -- and it all went downhill from there . i mean , before we knew it , we were at each others ' throats , and i could n't figure out what had happened , and i started thinking maybe i was wrong -- that this girl that i met that i thought was so wonderful did n't actually exist , and i just made her up in my head , but -- but i knew she was real . i - i could see flashes of her -- of you . underneath levi and all his self - righteous posturing and all that nonsense , you were still the same big - hearted , bubbly girl that i met . you just were in a lot of pain . maxie : yeah . levi must have seen that pain , too , because that 's exactly what he used to manipulate me , and i was stupid enough to let him . nathan : hey . hey . you are not dumb , okay ? you 're smart and insightful . you were just hurt badly , and that affects your judgment , and levi saw that and exploited your heartache for his own gain . maxie : all his talk about inner peace and caring about others -- it 's just a cover . he -- he ruined my chances of getting georgie back . he ruined my life just to get ahold of my mom 's aztec jewelry . and now we 're here . i am so sorry i pulled you into this . nathan : it 's not all bad . maxie : how can you even say that ? nathan : being literally chained in the same room as you helped me get all this out in the open . so , now you know exactly how i feel about you , but i still have no idea how you feel about me . carly : sonny . sonny : what ? carly : sonny . sonny : what ? carly : [ sighs ] rocco : [ crying ] carly : well , someone , um , is awake . sonny : [ sighs ] carly : well , i 'm gon na get out of here . sonny : hey , buddy . what 's all the racket ? come on . can you please just not go right now ? carly : you seem to have everything under control . sonny : no , no . it 's just that he 's gon na be a handful , and he wants his mommy and daddy . ai n't that right , little buddy ? yeah , he just told me he wanted his mommy and daddy . rocco : [ continues crying ] sonny : can you -- carly : what makes you think i 'm gon na have any more luck than you ? sonny : remember when morgan was his age ? he had a set of lungs on him , and crying so loud , and the only one that can calm him down was you . okay , look , if you do n't do it for -- for me , just do it for the -- for the baby . come on . carly : okay . sonny : he 's really sad right now . carly : uh , yeah . hey , rocco . what 's going on ? you want some company ? ooh , come here . ohh . hey . he 's okay . [ both chuckle ] sonny : told you so . lulu : you are insane ! i already have a family . dante and -- and -- stavros : your son , rocco ? i am aware of your other biological ties . our child will be of noble blood , not the blood of some peasants from bensonhurst . dante : beats being from some lunatic inbreds like yourself . stavros : our child will be a cassadine , a prince . dante : your child will be a freak and crazy , just like you and your family are . stavros : will you shut up ? ! lulu : look , if you 've got some sort of sick , twisted idea about getting me pregnant , the joke is on you . stavros : [ chuckles ] lulu : yeah , thanks to what you did to me on that godforsaken island , i ca n't have your child . stavros : oh , well , that 's where you 're wrong . levi : so , that 's what your nephew 's going to do ? no offense , but that guy is one sick bastard . victor : [ chuckles ] that 's not the first time someone has said that out a cassadine . our plans are sometimes characterized as `` out of the box , `` but then that is both a blessing and a curse for the family . but we tend to get what it is we want . levi : okay , yeah , and as fascinating as this guy stavros ' plans are , i 'm more concerned about my own . so , tell me ... when do i get what i want ? anna : dr. westbourne , are you saying that nathan is a cassadine ? nikolas : we do n't know for sure . britt : she wo n't say . dr. obrecht : because it is irrelevant . what matters right now is that victor could be holding all those people captive . i have a strong suspicion that nathan is locked up . anna : oh . where ? where -- where is he locked up ? dr. obrecht : well , i 'm certainly not going to tell you that -- blurt out the location . i require certain assurances -- anna : just sp it out , woman . where is he ? dr. obrecht : fine . i 'll tell you . but first , i want to know exactly what happened to cesar . maxie : nathan ... nathan : yeah , i know . i did n't mean to put you on the spot . you left town to put your life back together . i know you did n't spend all your time away thinking about me . maxie : actually , i did think about you while i was gone . nathan : you did ? maxie : yeah . when i left on the plane , the whole way there , i kept thinking about how nice you were to me at the exact time that i needed it . and then i thought about how you suggested that i stay , and i found myself wondering if i should have . i did think about something else you said . nathan : what was that ? maxie : well , when i told you that i was leaving to find myself , you said ... nathan : for what it 's worth , you do n't seem so bad the way you are . nathan : you were n't . you 're not . maxie : neither are you . patrick : this is crazy , right ? i mean , he believes his own story , that 's for sure . sam : well , yeah , i mean , but he also believes that emma really could have gotten hurt , so ... patrick : so what do we do ? do we go to anna ? spencer : no ! you ca n't . emma : spencer , it 's okay . my daddy just wants to talk to my grandma . spencer : who 's the commissioner of the police . please , dr. drake . you ca n't tell the police , or luke will finish the job . sam : luke 's not even in town right now . you do n't have to worry . spencer : that you know of ! he could be watching us right now . do n't you care about emma ? you could be putting her in danger . please ... do n't repeat what i told you . sam : maybe for right now , we should just explore this on our own . spencer : so , are you going to tell her ? emma : daddy , i 'm scared . patrick : i know . i understand -- i mean , everything that 's happened after the accident . but i promise you that nothing 's gon na happen to you , okay ? i 'll protect you . emma : but what if what spencer 's saying is right , and that bad man finds out that spencer told us the truth ? what if he comes after me again ? sam : no , no one 's gon na hurt you , sweetie patrick : sam 's right . okay ? nothing 's gon na happen to you . and as of right now , we 're not gon na tell the police , okay ? spencer : [ exhales deeply ] patrick : it 's just gon na be our little secret . emma : okay . patrick : okay ? now it 's time to get you guys to school . you 're already late . spencer : my driver will have to explain my tardiness . patrick : well , tell your driver that i 'll take you guys to school , and i 'll explain to the teachers why you 're both late , okay ? spencer : okay . patrick : [ sighs ] sam : hey , patrick . um , sorry , but we got distracted , but what -- what were you gon na say before ? victor : you 're very demanding for an underling . may i remind you who 's in charge here ? levi : i do n't think my demands are so outrageous . you made me certain promises . victor : which i intend to keep , but right now , i am consumed with more pressing issues . levi : what issues ? maxie and lulu are safely locked up with those two annoying detectives , west and falconeri . victor : i have other guests to accommodate . levi : what other guests ? victor : you know , suffice it to say , as the head of this organization , i have many balls in the air , not to even mention my personal life . but right now , i have someone else on my mind . dr. obrecht : i 'll tell you everything you want to know . i 'll lead you right to victor 's doorstep . all i ask in return is the absolute truth about cesar . i want to know exactly what happened to him once and for all . nikolas : are you bargaining with my sister 's life right now ? britt : mother , if this is true , nathan is in as much danger as the rest of them . anna : nathan and dante we can be pretty sure did n't go quietly . nathan may very well be hurt . at the very least , we know he is going to try to escape . so we need to get in there and get them out before someone gets killed . do you understand ? britt : you gave up nathan because of my father , because you felt it was more important to chase him around than raise your own son . you claim that was a terrible mistake , that you wanted to make amends , and that you really care about nathan . well , if that 's true , then put your money where your mouth is . forget my father for one minute and tell us what you know . nathan : it 's nice to know that our meeting meant as much to you as it did to me , but i 'm still not entirely sure you answered my question . maxie : [ sighs ] i know . um , i 'm sorry . i just do n't know if i trust my feelings right now . i was just about to marry a man that i thought i was in love with , and it turns out i did n't even really know him at all . and i was gon na marry someone who was using me . nathan : max , levi was doing everything he could to make you think that he was a good guy . i got to see his true colors a couple of times when we were alone , but to you , he was the perfect boyfriend . maxie : no , that 's just it . he was n't perfect . there were so many times he would slip up and show how selfish or callous he was , but i would just give him the benefit of the doubt . instead of really looking at the man i was involved with , i would just defend him blindly to everyone . i even said those stupid wedding vows . i mean , if you had n't shown up when you did -- - thank you for that , by the way . nathan : you 're very welcome . maxie : and i meant what i said when levi was holding me at gunpoint . i would have been totally fine with you shooting him . nathan : yeah . [ groans ] i could n't get a clean shot , though . maxie : okay , well , please do n't take this as any sort of criticism , but i think you were being hypersensitive in a situation where you really did n't need to be . i mean , i could tell by how steady you were holding that gun that you had a perfect shot , and i was actually in no real danger at all . nathan : well , i appreciate your faith in me .

[ scene_break ] wyatt : i know . it was beyond wrong , what mom did to liam . bill : you 're not doing her any favors , wyatt . wyatt : what is that supposed to mean ? bill : constantly letting her off the hook , excusing the inexcusable , never holding her accountable . that 's why your mother thinks she can get away with every outrageous thing she pleases . she never has to pay . but that ends today . wyatt : well , with all due respect , it 's not really your decision . it 's liam 's . bill : for now . but he will press charges . wyatt : [ sighs ] come on . bill : [ sighs ] i 'm sorry , wyatt . but your mother 's gon na go away for a good long time . and the only one she has to blame is herself .

[ scene_break ] liam : well , i hate to admit it , but quinn 's lawyer sure scored some points there . justin : yeah . that was him just warming up . ed de la rosa 's no joke , especially in court . liam : yeah , i kind of got that . which leaves me with one question -- do we even have a case ? [ scene_break ] quinn : what if liam presses charges ? lt . baker : you 'll be processed into the system , fingerprinted . we 'll take a nice picture . quinn : what about bail ? lt . baker : well , there 'll be a hearing , and a judge will decide . quinn : will i get it ? ed : depends on who the judge is , whether he or she deems you a danger to yourself and/or others . past deeds might come back to haunt you . quinn : [ sighs ] no , it ca n't go that far . see , i 'm gon na be released . and then i can make this up to liam and prove to him that i 'm the woman he saw when we were together . [ scene_break ] justin : we have a case , it 's just an unusual one -- a lot of gray areas that could be exploited , like de la rosa just did in there . we could take it to court . it could go either way . you know , quinn could prove to be a compelling witness . [ sighs ] she has a prominent attorney who makes a lot of strong arguments that will be hard to refute . liam : well , okay , just -- just be honest with me . do you think we can win ? because i do n't want to go to court , let the whole world know what i 've been through , only to have quinn walk away . justin : yeah , well , in my opinion , it 's gon na be a very difficult case to prove . [ scene_break ] wyatt : well , you 're right . i mean , i - i should probably let my mom pay for her own actions , 'cause what did was wrong . it was awful . you know , if that means she has to go to prison for it , well , guess what . that 's what happens when you commit crimes , right ? but the one thing that i 'm left with , what i 'm -- what i 'm always left with is she 's still my mother , dad . she does twisted things for me out of twisted love , but ... for a long time , that 's the only kind of love that i - i - i knew , you know ? so , i ... i hate what she did to liam . but i - i just -- i - i - i do n't want him to put her behind bars . i will not encourage that , and i can not support that . [ scene_break ] [ door opens ] liam : [ sighs ] what you did was wrong . quinn : i know . i -- liam : i 'm talking . you stole my life . you took me away from my fiancée . you left a brain injury untreated so you could keep me believing i was your husband , that i actually had feelings for you . quinn : well , you did . liam : i 'm talking . now , you may think that whatever happened in that cabin between us was real , but it was based on a lie . i do n't care about you . i never will . quinn : may i speak now ? ed : oh , i wish you would n't . quinn : well , i just ... you 're right about all of it . i never should have taken you from the parking lot that day . but i ca n't be sorry for what happened afterwards . 'cause the time i spent with you was the happiest time of my life . you made me my very best self , and i 'm telling you , liam , i can be that woman again . liam : this is -- this is amazing . you -- you genuinely believe that you can just , like , talk your way out of any despicable , horrible thing , do n't you ? you did n't just cost me time out of my life , quinn . you cost me the woman i actually love . the whole time that you were playing this -- this -- this role , this wife role where you were devoted and loving , you were actively working against me the whole time . you were sending steffy disrespectful texts , making her think that i did n't want to be with her . you manipulated me into making that recording blowing her off . you have n't changed . you were the same conniving , scheming monster in that cabin as you are in the real world . lt . baker : liam , we get it . you 're angry and upset with quinn . but if you 're not gon na press charges , then you 're gon na have to take this somewhere else . so , what 's it gon na be ? am i gon na book quinn , or am i gon na let her go ? | liam gets a phone call from lt . baker saying he can not hold quinn forever , so liam needs to say for the record if he is going to press charges or not . liam says he will be over in a few minutes with his attorney . wyatt drops by and asks liam one more time not to press charges . justin tells bill that he is on board . bill says great ; then quinn will be behind bars before the day is over . justin tells bill just to be prepared as anything could happen . it is a he said / she said . bill does not believe a little game of pretend is going to stop justice . bill says that is justin 's job to make sure justice is done even if liam does n't understand what is at stake . quinn 's attorney comes in and she says liam is on his way and she does not think he will press charges , adam would n't . the lawyer asks her to sit quietly and do not make any pleas , let him do the legal talking . wyatt tells liam that his mom wo n't get help in prison . she will have to harden up and he does not want that . liam says she took his life and wyatt 's too with steffy and he is not going to let her get away with that . liam says wyatt keeps making excuses . wyatt says he did not come here to discuss steffy . just do what he does best and show some compassion and not press charges against his mother . wyatt explains to bill what he did . quinn tells her lawyer that this might be over before he knows it . liam has had plenty of time if he wanted to press charges , so she thinks he wo n't . justin and liam walk in . lt . baker wants to get started . quinn interrupts and says she does not think they need all these people ; they just need the two of them , her and liam . she would like him to honor what they had at the cabin and not send her to prison . liam starts to speak but when he does the attorney speaks up and says it was all consensual when they had physical relations and he was free to leave as he was not restrained . he was not forced into staying or held against his will and he did not resist any advances and in fact he made his own advances and told eve that he loved her . there is no case here . | <s>[INST] [ liam 's flashback ] lt . baker : are you ready to press charges ? if so , she 'll be arraigned before a judge . there 'll likely be a trial . if found guilty , she 'll probably go to prison for a number of years . so , it 's all up to you , mr. spencer . do you want to press charges or not ?

[ scene_break ] liam : hold on a second . i thought you were just as outraged by what quinn did as everybody else here . wyatt : i was . i am . i just ... look , there 's no rational explanation or excuse for what my mother did to you . except she needs more help than we could have ever imagined . liam : oh , you think ? wyatt : she 's not gon na get that in prison , liam . what you brought out in her , those goods things like the vulnerability and the honesty , that new softness , like , that all goes away . she 'll have to harden up just to survive , and i do n't want that and neither do you . liam : well , even if that is true , what she did was unforgivable , wyatt . she stole my life from me , and she gave it to you . i 'm not gon na let her get away with that . wyatt : [ sighs ] i get why you 're angry , and i 'm not denying your right to be . liam : then what are you still defending her for ? wyatt : well , because she could be an amazing person . like , she 's bright and funny and she could be sarcastic and loving , nobody you 'd rather be around more . just ... i do n't know . something sets off her instability , and then god knows what 's gon na happen next . liam : okay , you keep making excuses . i ca n't do it . i ca n't do it . she stole my life . i would be the one married to steffy right now if she had n't kidnapped me . wyatt : well , i do n't agree with your theory , but if you need to ... look , i did n't come here to argue with you about steffy . i 'm asking you to do what you do best . have some compassion . show some generosity . do not press charges against my mother . liam : dude , i got to go . wyatt : [ scoffs ] liam . liam : sorry . [ door closes ] wyatt : [ scoffs ] [ scene_break ] ed : let me stop you here with a caution . your freedom depends on the outcome of this meeting . do n't throw the name `` adam `` around . we do n't want to remind him why we 're here . we want to mitigate the kidnapping , not invite it into the room and give it a seat . quinn : yeah . yeah , i see what you mean . ed : so , i need you to let me do my job . no chiming in . do n't make heartfelt appeals to liam . be attentive and quiet . allow me to argue you out of here . quinn : please do .

[ scene_break ] quinn : [ sighs ] you know , this might be over sooner than you think . i mean , liam 's had time to reconsider and probably say a few well - chosen words , and then he 's gon na let me go . ed : [ chuckles ] we 'll see . lt . baker : liam and his lawyer are right behind me . quinn : how does he seem ? ed : hup . quinn : right . justin : counselor . pleasure . ed : likewise . you 're looking well . justin : ca n't complain . lt . baker : shall we get started ? quinn : yeah , let me just say something first . ed : can you -- you got to excuse my -- quinn : see , i do n't really think we need this meeting -- you know , lawyers and cops . i think we could settle this just -- just the two of us . right ? i mean , i - i - i did you wrong , and -- and i own that . but i never lied to you about my feelings . i always came to you straight from the heart . and you did with me , as well . and i was n't alone in that cabin . you were there with me . you know what we had . you -- you -- you know the connection that we shared , so i 'm just -- i 'm just asking you , liam , to just -- just honor that and please do n't send me to prison . [ scene_break ] liam : you abducted me . you manipulated me . you say you did n't trick me ? what do you call having relations with somebody who does n't even know -- ed : was it nonconsensual ? liam : excuse me ? ed : the relations . liam : i -- ed : okay , let me take a step back . did my client use physical force against you ? liam : no . that 's -- no . ed : put a gun to your head , knife to your throat ? liam : no . ed : so , the physicalities were something that you participated in willingly . justin : we are not at trial , counselor . ed : just trying to give your client a sense of how difficult a conviction in this case can be . okay , so , when you fell in the parking lot of forrester creations , was it because ms. fuller pushed you ? liam : no . no , quinn had nothing to do with that . but she sure took advantage of it . she threw me in a car and kidnapped me . ed : to her cabin . liam : yeah , and she just kept me there . ed : were you barricaded ? liam : no . ed : free to leave whenever you wanted ? liam : i -- technically , i was free to leave , but i was in no condition to go anywhere because of -- ed : but you could have . liam : i - i suppose that i -- ed : was there a car ? liam : yes , there was a car . ed : keys accessible ? liam : yes . ed : so , how is this an abduction ? you were n't held there against your will , forced into staying . liam : i did n't agree to be there . ed : okay , let 's -- let 's go back to the idea of consent . did you resist my client 's advances ? liam : i thought she was my wife . ed : did you make advances of your own ? liam : yes , because i thought she was -- ed : did you tell my client that you loved her ? liam : yes . ed : ever simply just say `` stop ? `` liam : no . ed : well , that effectively takes abduction and aggravated assault off the table . justin : i need to have a word with my client , if you do n't mind , counselor . ed : take your time . [ scene_break ] wyatt : i know . it was beyond wrong , what mom did to liam . bill : you 're not doing her any favors , wyatt . wyatt : what is that supposed to mean ? bill : constantly letting her off the hook , excusing the inexcusable , never holding her accountable . that 's why your mother thinks she can get away with every outrageous thing she pleases . she never has to pay . but that ends today . wyatt : well , with all due respect , it 's not really your decision . it 's liam 's . bill : for now . but he will press charges . wyatt : [ sighs ] come on . bill : [ sighs ] i 'm sorry , wyatt . but your mother 's gon na go away for a good long time . and the only one she has to blame is herself . [ scene_break ] quinn : [ sighs ] what 's taking so long ? ed : the longer , the better . it means they 're having a serious discussion . quinn : yeah , well , you brought up some awfully good points , so maybe liam will get the message . [ scene_break ] liam : well , i hate to admit it , but quinn 's lawyer sure scored some points there . justin : yeah . that was him just warming up . ed de la rosa 's no joke , especially in court . liam : yeah , i kind of got that . which leaves me with one question -- do we even have a case ? [ scene_break ] quinn : what if liam presses charges ? lt . baker : you 'll be processed into the system , fingerprinted . we 'll take a nice picture . quinn : what about bail ? lt . baker : well , there 'll be a hearing , and a judge will decide . quinn : will i get it ? ed : depends on who the judge is , whether he or she deems you a danger to yourself and/or others . past deeds might come back to haunt you . quinn : [ sighs ] no , it ca n't go that far . see , i 'm gon na be released . and then i can make this up to liam and prove to him that i 'm the woman he saw when we were together . [ scene_break ] justin : we have a case , it 's just an unusual one -- a lot of gray areas that could be exploited , like de la rosa just did in there . we could take it to court . it could go either way . you know , quinn could prove to be a compelling witness . [ sighs ] she has a prominent attorney who makes a lot of strong arguments that will be hard to refute . liam : well , okay , just -- just be honest with me . do you think we can win ? because i do n't want to go to court , let the whole world know what i 've been through , only to have quinn walk away . justin : yeah , well , in my opinion , it 's gon na be a very difficult case to prove . [ scene_break ] wyatt : well , you 're right . i mean , i - i should probably let my mom pay for her own actions , 'cause what did was wrong . it was awful . you know , if that means she has to go to prison for it , well , guess what . that 's what happens when you commit crimes , right ? but the one thing that i 'm left with , what i 'm -- what i 'm always left with is she 's still my mother , dad . she does twisted things for me out of twisted love , but ... for a long time , that 's the only kind of love that i - i - i knew , you know ? so , i ... i hate what she did to liam . but i - i just -- i - i - i do n't want him to put her behind bars . i will not encourage that , and i can not support that . [ scene_break ] [ door opens ] liam : [ sighs ] what you did was wrong . quinn : i know . i -- liam : i 'm talking . you stole my life . you took me away from my fiancée . you left a brain injury untreated so you could keep me believing i was your husband , that i actually had feelings for you . quinn : well , you did . liam : i 'm talking . now , you may think that whatever happened in that cabin between us was real , but it was based on a lie . i do n't care about you . i never will . quinn : may i speak now ? ed : oh , i wish you would n't . quinn : well , i just ... you 're right about all of it . i never should have taken you from the parking lot that day . but i ca n't be sorry for what happened afterwards . 'cause the time i spent with you was the happiest time of my life . you made me my very best self , and i 'm telling you , liam , i can be that woman again . liam : this is -- this is amazing . you -- you genuinely believe that you can just , like , talk your way out of any despicable , horrible thing , do n't you ? you did n't just cost me time out of my life , quinn . you cost me the woman i actually love . the whole time that you were playing this -- this -- this role , this wife role where you were devoted and loving , you were actively working against me the whole time . you were sending steffy disrespectful texts , making her think that i did n't want to be with her . you manipulated me into making that recording blowing her off . you have n't changed . you were the same conniving , scheming monster in that cabin as you are in the real world . lt . baker : liam , we get it . you 're angry and upset with quinn . but if you 're not gon na press charges , then you 're gon na have to take this somewhere else . so , what 's it gon na be ? am i gon na book quinn , or am i gon na let her go ?Summarize.[/INST]liam gets a phone call from lt . baker saying he can not hold quinn forever , so liam needs to say for the record if he is going to press charges or not . liam says he will be over in a few minutes with his attorney . wyatt drops by and asks liam one more time not to press charges . justin tells bill that he is on board . bill says great ; then quinn will be behind bars before the day is over . justin tells bill just to be prepared as anything could happen . it is a he said / she said . bill does not believe a little game of pretend is going to stop justice . bill says that is justin 's job to make sure justice is done even if liam does n't understand what is at stake . quinn 's attorney comes in and she says liam is on his way and she does not think he will press charges , adam would n't . the lawyer asks her to sit quietly and do not make any pleas , let him do the legal talking . wyatt tells liam that his mom wo n't get help in prison . she will have to harden up and he does not want that . liam says she took his life and wyatt 's too with steffy and he is not going to let her get away with that . liam says wyatt keeps making excuses . wyatt says he did not come here to discuss steffy . just do what he does best and show some compassion and not press charges against his mother . wyatt explains to bill what he did . quinn tells her lawyer that this might be over before he knows it . liam has had plenty of time if he wanted to press charges , so she thinks he wo n't . justin and liam walk in . lt . baker wants to get started . quinn interrupts and says she does not think they need all these people ; they just need the two of them , her and liam . she would like him to honor what they had at the cabin and not send her to prison . liam starts to speak but when he does the attorney speaks up and says it was all consensual when they had physical relations and he was free to leave as he was not restrained . he was not forced into staying or held against his will and he did not resist any advances and in fact he made his own advances and told eve that he loved her . there is no case here .</s> | 4,375 |

claudia : well , is n't this cozy ? and i do n't think i 've been called a goomada in , like , forever . max : hey , hey , can you show some respect ? do you have any idea who this is ? claudia : were you on tv or something ? maximus : no , but this mug has been in the papers a bunch of times . max : this is maximus giambetti , my father -- a living legend . idiot . how many times do i have to tell you not to let people in here ? maximus : hey , come on , leave the kid alone . i mean , surely , like , you know , come on . milo : ms. zacchara , i 'm going to have to ask you to go . maximus : whoa . what did you say , mario ? zacchara ? anthony zacchara 's daughter ? claudia : yeah . maximus : what are you doing here ? claudia : the truth , mr. giambetti ? maximus : yeah . claudia : i 'm obsessed with your son . [ scene_break ] sonny : you made it clear , i 'm no longer a part of the organization , that you wo n't lift a finger to help protect me or the people that i love . jason : i ca n't let you start a bloodbath . sonny : so you think you can tell me what to do , now that you 've got some power ? jason : do you want to die ? you keep pushing , and that 's where this is going . [ scene_break ] kate : what are you doing , olivia ? are you threatening me ? are you saying the only way that i can hold on to sonny 's love is to keep the secret of his son ? olivia : we both know that father and son are better off if this secret stays hidden . carly : oh , i love a good family secret . kate : it 's customary to knock . carly : sorry to interrupt the family bonding , but you did ask me to try and reason with sonny . olivia : i bet i know how that went . carly : you do if you know sonny as well as you say you do . [ scene_break ] karpov : you were spying on me . sam : no , i was checking things out . karpov : why ? sam : i am a cautious person . i know the cops are leaning on you , and word on the street is , sonny corinthos wants you dead . karpov : nothing has changed . sam : look , this is business . i do n't walk into anything blind . that is a good way to wind up dead . karpov : so is double - crossing me . sam : i -- look , i understand that , and i do n't care what you are and why you 're here or what you 're doing . you pay me green , and that 's all that matters . you pay top dollar for me to move your cargo , and -- and that 's it . that 's the deal . what -- what are you doing ? karpov : all right , let 's -- sam : what the hell -- come on , please . will you give that back to me , please ? karpov : hey , hey , you 're not going to need it now . now it 's time to really prove what you 're worth . [ scene_break ] [ knock on door ] alexis : come in . lucky . lucky : am i catching you at a bad time ? alexis : no , i was just going over a case . lucky : well , you wanted to hear if there was any trouble with the zaccharas , and there were reports of a joy - rider in the harbor . alexis : junior playing chicken with the cargo ships again ? lucky : well , i went to investigate , but the speedboat was long gone . i found claudia zacchara , but she denies her brother was involved . but i have my doubts . alexis : well , she 's probably just doing damage control . i do n't know why johnny is acting out after he was just acquitted , but i do n't think it 's any coincidence that his self - destructive behavior is on the heels of your sister 's breakdown . lucky : this is n't new . that 's why i never wanted johnny around lulu . alexis : well , you know , it is n't easy to tell someone that the person they love is n't good for them . lucky : that 's why i 'm hoping lulu does n't love johnny , that she can get over it . alexis : are you over sam ? sorry , i -- i guess that was intrusive . lucky : yeah , a little , but you sound worried about sam . alexis : do you talk to her at all ? lucky : since the breakup , no , i 'm sorry . [ alexis sighs ] [ scene_break ] olivia : like you said , sonny is and has always been a gangster , so i 'm guessing that any plea for him to avoid retaliating against whoever shot my cousin -- it probably fell on deaf ears . kate : okay , perhaps this is a conversation that carly and i should have alone . carly : olivia is family . she should hear this . it 's no secret that sonny 's out to avenge whoever did this to you . and your cousin 's right . everything i said to him did not matter . kate : because he 's convinced that the only way to protect me is to go after the man who shot me . he is trying to stop the violence . carly : with more violence . olivia : stop deluding yourself , connie . this is -- this is not about protecting you or anybody else . this is like sonny when he was a kid . he 's crazy mad , and he can justify it any way he wants , but this is about revenge . he 's going to hit , and he 's going to keep hitting until the other guy 's got to beg for mercy . carly : sounds like your cousin understands sonny better than you do . [ scene_break ] sonny : i have no intention of dying . what i want to do is keep kate and the rest of my family safe . jason : but by going after karpov , you 're going to do the exact opposite . sonny : i just need your help . that 's what i 'm asking . i ca n't sit by and do nothing . jason : you do n't have the resources to go to war , and even if you did , you 're only going to put yourself and everybody you care about in more danger . i 'm still not convinced it 's karpov . sonny : oh , i 'm clear on that -- very clear . jason : okay , good . sonny : you would n't be convinced if you saw karpov pulling the trigger on dvd . you 're just willing to just sit around , do nothing . who knows , karpov or somebody else might slit the throat of somebody you love . jason : i understand -- i understand you do n't like how i 'm running the business , okay ? but every shipment has landed successfully . the foreign partners are happy . they 're making money . i have kept the competition in line , and most of all , i have kept the peace , sonny . sonny : you are either lying or delusional .

[ claudia laughs ] claudia : it 's crazy , mr. giambetti . max and i are from rival families . i mean , there 's a million and one ways that this could go wrong , but i ca n't help myself . oh , he takes me places no man ever has before . sex with him is a life- shattering -- max : oh ! claudia : experience . it leaves me thirsty , begging , just wanting more . max : uh -- try and control yourself . claudia : ah , come on , big max -- do n't make me beg for it , now . diane : okay , hands off , barracuda .

[ scene_break ] scott : where do you get off pulling my surveillance people ? alexis : excuse me ? scott : no , excuse yourself . i have an ongoing investigation going on right now , and in these tough times , it 's first come , first served . i 'm first . alexis : you sound like a three - year - old trying to stake his claim in the sandbox . scott : i do n't really care how i sound . i 'm just telling you right now , consider that your surveillance on that russian mobster , karpov , or whatever his name is , has been terminated . [ scene_break ] claudia : ignore that uptight , old , badly dressed witch . diane : who are you calling badly dressed ? and i 'm not uptight . claudia : you need someone like max here to rock your world , to take you places you 've only ever dreamed of . diane : sex for mr. giambetti is going to be nothing but a distant memory if he continues to consort with the likes of you . claudia : oh , but it 's so good . neither one of us can give it up , can we ? you really should tell her , big max . max : um -- diane : you do realize , of course , that this woman is the daughter of your most dangerous enemy , and she 's known for her promiscuity . maximus : best way i know for a girl to get a guy to talk about things he does n't want to talk about -- unless he 's packing , of course . max : you think i 'm so easily led , i have no self - control ? diane : i think it is going to be bad for you on every conceivable level if you are with this woman . you 're going to wind up hurt in ways you never even dreamed of . maximus : i kind of agree with your mouthpiece on this one . not only does she have a fine ass -- claudia : oh ! maximus : she packs a hell of a wallop . claudia : do n't keep me waiting too long , big max , huh ? you know i ca n't stay away . diane : if you have no further need for my services , i shall say good night . max : wait , wait , wait -- no , no , no , i 'm not through with you yet . [ scene_break ] kate : sonny would do anything to protect the people he cares about . you know that . that is exactly why i asked you to try to get through to him . carly : if sonny wants to keep the people he cares about safe , then he should n't retaliate , and for once in his life , he needs to let the police handle this . olivia : you know the police , connie , the guys in blue shirts with the badges . they solve the crimes so that people ca n't go running through the streets , blasting everyone they do n't agree with . carly : you know what ? i know what 's driving sonny , and i really wish i could have gotten through to him , but i could n't . kate : fine -- then i will . and i do n't want either of you here when i talk to him . carly : wow , i guess we 're getting the boot . you know what , olivia ? we should go have a cocktail . kate : oh , that 's perfect . you 'll have so much to talk about -- you have so much in common . [ scene_break ] sonny : you think because nobody 's made a move against you yet that you 've kept the peace ? what 's happened is it 's made you look weak . your enemies are lining up . jason : oh , they 've been testing me from day one , enemies and friends , and each time a message is sent . nothing flashy , sonny , nothing you 're going to read about in the news , no big public show of force . i do what needs to be done to keep everybody in line . sonny : who do you think you 're talking to ? you used to work for me . you 've got to put the fear of god in these people . because that 's the only thing they listen to . but right now , you 've made it clear -- you do n't want to fight for your territory , so the zaccharas , karpov , somebody else is going to make a move against you , and they 're going to take you down . jason : yeah , let them try . sonny : we can do this together . admit it -- you 're out of your league . jason : i will fight for my territory . but i can not start a war because you asked me to . sonny : so you 're going to throw away everything that i built . you 're going to put my men at risk . jason : i 'm not putting your men at risk . i 'm protecting your men . and i will protect them from you if i have to . so why do n't you do yourself a favor and give up this idea of revenge ? sonny : you know , i 've got to -- i 'm going to do what i 've got to do . jason : sonny -- sonny : no , look , you cut ties with me -- somebody who 's been there for you , forever . but you know what ? you 're on your own . and when everything comes crashing down on you , the only one you have to blame is yourself .

[ monica chuckles ] monica : from your insistence in staying in an unhealthy relationship with luke . so you need to deal with the consequences , tracy . otherwise , we are just enabling you . tracy : only you could come back from rehab with more ways to irritate me . monica : well , the program has worked for me . it 's taught me healthy ways to cope with you . tracy : if alan were alive and cheating on you , you would take him back , so do n't preach to me about unhealthy relationships . and by the way , daddy would n't be helping me or luke , you 'd be helping lulu . [ scene_break ] alexis : you do realize that andrei karpov is the main suspect on the kate howard shooting ? scott : well , i 'm sorry that someone was shot . however , you 're never going to get any evidence on this guy , and with all these shootouts in this town , this russian mobster will be dead long before you ever get him to court . alexis : hmm , so it 's your professional opinion that i should just sit on my hands and let the criminal element police itself according to the natural order . that 's great . so the strong survive , and the weak get whacked . scott : well , i would say yes , except for the fact that the gangsters are the only ones that survive in this town . alexis : which brings us to the real reason why you 're here , because you want to steal my surveillance guys and put them on johnny zacchara so you can catch him doing something , so you can put him under arrest and charge him with something ? it 's for your vengeance . i 'm sorry , i ca n't support that .

[ jason sighs ] claudia : i thought it was sweet of you that you would do that for max . you know , to make him look like a big shot in front of his dad . kind of amazed , coming from you , with everything you have going on , but -- jason : why are you here ? claudia : you 're not big on chit - chat . you just ca n't have a normal conversation , just a little chit - chat , you know , break the ice ? jason : why are you here ? claudia : i want to stop a war before it starts . [ scene_break ] olivia : you know , i would have taken you for a cocktail girl . a cosmopolitan or a lemon drop or something like that . claudia : ha , i think you have me confused with your cousin . olivia : not much chance of that . you know , for somebody who was getting ready to marry sonny , she sure does n't seem to understand him very well . now you , on the other hand , you seem like you read him like an open book . carly : yeah , i do n't have too many illusions about sonny . you do n't seem to , either . you guys were pretty tight back in the day , huh ? olivia : well , it was pretty much connie and sonny 's movie . i was eating popcorn in the balcony . carly : yeah , but you saw him for who he really was -- who he still is . he 's still that kid from bensonhurst . he 's angry , he 's been hit one too many times , and all he wants to do is hit back . and your cousin , she 's turned it into one big fairy tale . olivia : yeah , well , connie sees sonny the way he wants to see himself . you know , that 's very attractive . why be with some girl who 's going to call you on all your crap and kick your butt , when you can be with someone who 's going to give you the benefit of every doubt and make up excuses for you before you even can make them up for yourself ? i mean , here 's the beauty part for sonny . connie will never admit that she 's wrong , so if she says that he 's good and noble , that is how she will play it , even if it kills her . [ scene_break ] sonny : hi . the nurse said you wanted to see me ? kate : mm - hmm , i -- i want to apologize . i should have known better than to send carly to talk to you . sonny : hey , you know what ? i know how hard it is for you to ask carly for anything . kate : for all the good it did me . sonny : i do n't want you to worry about anything . i 'm handling things . you need to just focus on getting better . kate : i am , i 'm feeling stronger all the time . strong enough to think about the future . i 've been shot -- twice . and i do n't want that to ever happen again . i want the life that we talked about , the promises that we made to each other . so you tell me , what do we have to do to make that work ? [ scene_break ] max : well , dad , i 'm not looking for a wife at the moment , so there 's no point speculating what type i 'd choose . maximus : a man needs somebody to take care of him . milo : all due respect , you 've been through seven marriages . maximus : that 's why i know so much about women , milo . milo : mario ! diane : milo - mario makes a very salient point . why advocate an institution that has clearly done you no good ? maximus : it 's true that my marriages have never lasted . but each one of them has given me moments of great joy . all of which i wish to my sons . you 're young . but , max , hey , you got a lot of weight on your shoulder . so find somebody to come home to , somebody you can trust and believe in . diane : you might want to get to work on that , mr. giambetti . maximus : a good looking girl but a little mouthy . max : she 's perfect . let 's go , dad . let 's get you to the airport . maximus : i can get there on my own . and i got to make a stop on the way . come here .

[ scene_break ] olivia : so tell me a little about you and sonny . carly : oh , there is no `` little `` about me and sonny . it 's a complicated history . four marriages . olivia : yeah , well , do n't take this the wrong way , but you kind of seem like the kind of girl that sonny wants to get in the back of his car but not marry . [ carly laughs ] olivia : you know , he always goes for the angels -- the good girls . carly : kate being the latest . olivia : yeah . carly : yeah . sonny and i were hate at first sight . we had nothing in common except for our mutual best friend , jason . one bad night , one thing led to another -- olivia : you fought like hell and wound up banging your brains out . carly : sounds like a voice of experience talking . olivia : well , it was n't hard to see where that story was going , but back to you and sonny . carly : sonny and i brought the worst out of each other and the best . and he adopted my oldest son , michael , and then we had little morgan . olivia : do you have a picture ? carly : yeah . [ olivia chuckles ] olivia : oh , the little baby . i can see a lot of sonny in that little guy . [ scene_break ] sonny : you should n't -- you should n't have to live in fear , and there 's a simple solution to that . you stay away from the people who are getting shot at , and that includes me . kate : but there 's a problem with that . i love you . sonny : i love you , too . but i -- but that 's why i have to be honest with you . i ca n't make promises about the future . i ca n't guarantee that you are going to be safe . kate : i do n't want guarantees . what i want is for you to stay out of organized crime , because if you do that -- if you do that i can ride all of this out with you , whatever comes . sonny : i tried . it did n't work . kate : it 's been three months . sonny : well , three months . kate : what ? we knew that it would take time , right ? we knew it would be difficult to leave the mob . it would take time for your enemies to accept that it was n't a ploy . sonny : you almost died . did we just forget that ? kate : do not use me as an -- sonny : well , i 'm just saying . kate : no . look at me . now , right now , i am willing to accept the risks if i know that you 're sincere . if i know that you really do love me like you say you do , then do n't retaliate . [ sobbing ] please do not sink back into that life , because i will not give up on us . i will not give up on you . sonny : i 've already made a move , and i 'm going to make other moves . that 's just the way it has to be . that 's it . kate : is that your choice ? is that your choice ? sonny : it 's who i am . that 's how i do things . i love you , deeply . but i got to do what i think is right for you -- even if i lose you because of it . [ scene_break ] edward : of course , i have a soft spot for that sweet , little lulu . it broke my heart to see her losing her marbles on that witness stand . tracy : so clear the way for luke to come home and help her . edward : as monica so astutely put it -- the reason is that you want to have your husband back home so you can control him . monica : well , that 's assuming that tracy can really track him down this time . edward : and you are using sweet , little lulu to guilt luke spencer into abandoning his latest road trip . monica : yes , as long as lulu 's in recovery , luke will be chained to your side . tracy : i make no apologies for wanting to keep my husband close . and by the way , the two of you have no room to criticize . you are both well - versed in the art of lies and manipulation to keep a marriage together . [ phone rings ] tracy : this is tracy . ha - ha . i 'm on my way . all right , so i am going to get my husband luke now . i want you to get those charges dropped before i get home , or i will tell the members of your club that you have resorted to internet dating . edward : oh , that 's an outrageous lie . tracy : really ? let 's see , sell high and split ? do you know that i can send your profile page to everybody in your club with the click of a mouse ? and i know that they are so going to enjoy that pretty little picture of you in the speedo . edward : all right . all right , i will have the charges dropped so you can get your husband back here , and he can break your heart again just like you deserve .

[ scene_break ] olivia : how is sonny with him ? carly : oh , he 's great . he 's patient , and he 's caring . i mean , he loves those boys . well , i was going to say he loves those boys more than his own life , but that 's not true . michael was shot because of the choices sonny 's made -- he 's continuing to make . taking those boys away from him was the hardest thing i ever had to do . olivia : nothing is more important than protecting your kids . but i bet sonny misses them like crazy . carly : he does , yeah . and i wish it did n't have to be this way . i wish that i could tear up that custody agreement and take sonny over to see morgan tonight , but i ca n't . and the incredible irony is that everything sonny 's done -- everything he 's built -- was to give his kids a different life , a better life . but his anger and his pride is taking him further and further away from them . olivia : it 's funny . in sonny 's mind , the perfect woman is like an angel he can put up on a pedestal . you know , like his mother . she was -- she was a lovely woman . she was weak . but when it came down to the actual business of being a father , sonny chose you -- a strong woman who he knew would protect his son and even keep him away from his father if it came to that . it 's like sonny knew that the greatest gift he could give his child was a mother who would keep him safe no matter what . carly : wow . it 's pretty great that you understand that . sonny does n't . he 's never going to forgive me . [ scene_break ] maximus : thank you . you seem like an intelligent man , mr. corinthos -- too intelligent to make a stupid move like going after a rival without the proper backup to get the job done . sonny : do you know what it feels like to see someone you love get shot right in front of you ? maximus : a terrible thing -- one so terrible that can make any man forget the basic rules . do n't get emotional over business , and do n't mix business with the personal . so i ask you with caution to wait and to watch . and make them come to you . sonny : well , that 's nice advice . why are you offering it ? maximus : because i do n't want to see my son get his ass shot off working for you . max must be a very valuable soldier and a friend for you to keep up this charade about him being the boss . sonny : when did you figure it out ? maximus : five minutes after i walked through the door . look , my plane leaves soon for palermo , and if i do n't get on it , the feds are going to have a field day . so i say to you , good luck . but there 's one favor i need to ask from you . sonny : name it . maximus : take care of my sons . and do n't tell max that i knew the stint was all made up . sonny : okay , i got it .

[ scene_break ] kate : what are you doing , olivia ? are you threatening me ? are you saying the only way that i can hold on to sonny 's love is to keep the secret of his son ? olivia : we both know that father and son are better off if this secret stays hidden . carly : oh , i love a good family secret . kate : it 's customary to knock . carly : sorry to interrupt the family bonding , but you did ask me to try and reason with sonny . olivia : i bet i know how that went . carly : you do if you know sonny as well as you say you do .

[ alexis sighs ] [ scene_break ] olivia : like you said , sonny is and has always been a gangster , so i 'm guessing that any plea for him to avoid retaliating against whoever shot my cousin -- it probably fell on deaf ears . kate : okay , perhaps this is a conversation that carly and i should have alone . carly : olivia is family . she should hear this . it 's no secret that sonny 's out to avenge whoever did this to you . and your cousin 's right . everything i said to him did not matter . kate : because he 's convinced that the only way to protect me is to go after the man who shot me . he is trying to stop the violence . carly : with more violence . olivia : stop deluding yourself , connie . this is -- this is not about protecting you or anybody else . this is like sonny when he was a kid . he 's crazy mad , and he can justify it any way he wants , but this is about revenge . he 's going to hit , and he 's going to keep hitting until the other guy 's got to beg for mercy . carly : sounds like your cousin understands sonny better than you do . [ scene_break ] sonny : i have no intention of dying . what i want to do is keep kate and the rest of my family safe . jason : but by going after karpov , you 're going to do the exact opposite . sonny : i just need your help . that 's what i 'm asking . i ca n't sit by and do nothing . jason : you do n't have the resources to go to war , and even if you did , you 're only going to put yourself and everybody you care about in more danger . i 'm still not convinced it 's karpov . sonny : oh , i 'm clear on that -- very clear . jason : okay , good . sonny : you would n't be convinced if you saw karpov pulling the trigger on dvd . you 're just willing to just sit around , do nothing . who knows , karpov or somebody else might slit the throat of somebody you love . jason : i understand -- i understand you do n't like how i 'm running the business , okay ? but every shipment has landed successfully . the foreign partners are happy . they 're making money . i have kept the competition in line , and most of all , i have kept the peace , sonny . sonny : you are either lying or delusional .

[ scene_break ] claudia : ignore that uptight , old , badly dressed witch . diane : who are you calling badly dressed ? and i 'm not uptight . claudia : you need someone like max here to rock your world , to take you places you 've only ever dreamed of . diane : sex for mr. giambetti is going to be nothing but a distant memory if he continues to consort with the likes of you . claudia : oh , but it 's so good . neither one of us can give it up , can we ? you really should tell her , big max . max : um -- diane : you do realize , of course , that this woman is the daughter of your most dangerous enemy , and she 's known for her promiscuity . maximus : best way i know for a girl to get a guy to talk about things he does n't want to talk about -- unless he 's packing , of course . max : you think i 'm so easily led , i have no self - control ? diane : i think it is going to be bad for you on every conceivable level if you are with this woman . you 're going to wind up hurt in ways you never even dreamed of . maximus : i kind of agree with your mouthpiece on this one . not only does she have a fine ass -- claudia : oh ! maximus : she packs a hell of a wallop . claudia : do n't keep me waiting too long , big max , huh ? you know i ca n't stay away . diane : if you have no further need for my services , i shall say good night . max : wait , wait , wait -- no , no , no , i 'm not through with you yet . [ scene_break ] kate : sonny would do anything to protect the people he cares about . you know that . that is exactly why i asked you to try to get through to him . carly : if sonny wants to keep the people he cares about safe , then he should n't retaliate , and for once in his life , he needs to let the police handle this . olivia : you know the police , connie , the guys in blue shirts with the badges . they solve the crimes so that people ca n't go running through the streets , blasting everyone they do n't agree with . carly : you know what ? i know what 's driving sonny , and i really wish i could have gotten through to him , but i could n't . kate : fine -- then i will . and i do n't want either of you here when i talk to him . carly : wow , i guess we 're getting the boot . you know what , olivia ? we should go have a cocktail . kate : oh , that 's perfect . you 'll have so much to talk about -- you have so much in common . [ scene_break ] sonny : you think because nobody 's made a move against you yet that you 've kept the peace ? what 's happened is it 's made you look weak . your enemies are lining up . jason : oh , they 've been testing me from day one , enemies and friends , and each time a message is sent . nothing flashy , sonny , nothing you 're going to read about in the news , no big public show of force . i do what needs to be done to keep everybody in line . sonny : who do you think you 're talking to ? you used to work for me . you 've got to put the fear of god in these people . because that 's the only thing they listen to . but right now , you 've made it clear -- you do n't want to fight for your territory , so the zaccharas , karpov , somebody else is going to make a move against you , and they 're going to take you down . jason : yeah , let them try . sonny : we can do this together . admit it -- you 're out of your league . jason : i will fight for my territory . but i can not start a war because you asked me to . sonny : so you 're going to throw away everything that i built . you 're going to put my men at risk . jason : i 'm not putting your men at risk . i 'm protecting your men . and i will protect them from you if i have to . so why do n't you do yourself a favor and give up this idea of revenge ? sonny : you know , i 've got to -- i 'm going to do what i 've got to do . jason : sonny -- sonny : no , look , you cut ties with me -- somebody who 's been there for you , forever . but you know what ? you 're on your own . and when everything comes crashing down on you , the only one you have to blame is yourself . [ scene_break ] edward : no , i am not calling in any favors to get that good - for - nothing luke spencer exonerated . listen , at the rate that we quartermaines create our own disasters , i 'm going to need all of my ammunition in my belt . tracy : let me get this straight . you 're storing up favors to cover our backs ? edward : at the end of the day , we 're all family . tracy : really ? no matter what we do to each other , or how badly we behave ? edward : of course . tracy : which is exactly why lulu needs her father now . edward : no , it 's not the same . tracy : it is exactly the same . and what good can luke do lulu if he 's arrested as soon as he gets home ? monica : tracy , luke is your husband . i really think it 's up to you to get the charges dropped . tracy : he married into this family just like you did , you gold - digging social climber . monica : i know where your anger is coming from . tracy : from my brother 's bad taste in women ? [ monica chuckles ] monica : from your insistence in staying in an unhealthy relationship with luke . so you need to deal with the consequences , tracy . otherwise , we are just enabling you . tracy : only you could come back from rehab with more ways to irritate me . monica : well , the program has worked for me . it 's taught me healthy ways to cope with you . tracy : if alan were alive and cheating on you , you would take him back , so do n't preach to me about unhealthy relationships . and by the way , daddy would n't be helping me or luke , you 'd be helping lulu . [ scene_break ] alexis : you do realize that andrei karpov is the main suspect on the kate howard shooting ? scott : well , i 'm sorry that someone was shot . however , you 're never going to get any evidence on this guy , and with all these shootouts in this town , this russian mobster will be dead long before you ever get him to court . alexis : hmm , so it 's your professional opinion that i should just sit on my hands and let the criminal element police itself according to the natural order . that 's great . so the strong survive , and the weak get whacked . scott : well , i would say yes , except for the fact that the gangsters are the only ones that survive in this town . alexis : which brings us to the real reason why you 're here , because you want to steal my surveillance guys and put them on johnny zacchara so you can catch him doing something , so you can put him under arrest and charge him with something ? it 's for your vengeance . i 'm sorry , i ca n't support that . [ scene_break ] diane : you know , there is work i could be doing , so unless this sojourn has some sort of specific purpose , then -- max : i -- i like to walk out here . maximus : well , it 's your territory , you do what you want . max : it 's where i do my best thinking . have n't i told you that ? diane : i recall you mentioning something about that , mr. giambetti . max : well , i want you with me , ms. miller . i mean , since you are my mouthpiece -- in case you think of anything , you know , legal . maximus : well , thinking he does with you , but with claudia zacchara , his brain takes a hike . diane : a woman like that is poison . never satisfied , always taking and taking and taking . maximus : just like her mother . milo : pop , you knew claudia zacchara 's mother ? maximus : oh , yeah , domenica -- what a bitch . diane : oh , big surprise . maximus : it was a smart day when crazy anthony shipped his wife off , just before she stabbed him in the ribs with a knife , you know ? and the same thing 's going to happen to you if you stay with this claudia . so take my advice -- find yourself somebody nice , like that carly girl . you know , somebody who knows her place , and somebody who knows how to cook . not like one of these take - charge girls who 'd grab you by the hair until you beg for mercy , capisce ? diane : oh , i just ca n't wait to hear what you think of your father 's advice . capisce ?

[ jason sighs ] claudia : i thought it was sweet of you that you would do that for max . you know , to make him look like a big shot in front of his dad . kind of amazed , coming from you , with everything you have going on , but -- jason : why are you here ? claudia : you 're not big on chit - chat . you just ca n't have a normal conversation , just a little chit - chat , you know , break the ice ? jason : why are you here ? claudia : i want to stop a war before it starts . [ scene_break ] olivia : you know , i would have taken you for a cocktail girl . a cosmopolitan or a lemon drop or something like that . claudia : ha , i think you have me confused with your cousin . olivia : not much chance of that . you know , for somebody who was getting ready to marry sonny , she sure does n't seem to understand him very well . now you , on the other hand , you seem like you read him like an open book . carly : yeah , i do n't have too many illusions about sonny . you do n't seem to , either . you guys were pretty tight back in the day , huh ? olivia : well , it was pretty much connie and sonny 's movie . i was eating popcorn in the balcony . carly : yeah , but you saw him for who he really was -- who he still is . he 's still that kid from bensonhurst . he 's angry , he 's been hit one too many times , and all he wants to do is hit back . and your cousin , she 's turned it into one big fairy tale . olivia : yeah , well , connie sees sonny the way he wants to see himself . you know , that 's very attractive . why be with some girl who 's going to call you on all your crap and kick your butt , when you can be with someone who 's going to give you the benefit of every doubt and make up excuses for you before you even can make them up for yourself ? i mean , here 's the beauty part for sonny . connie will never admit that she 's wrong , so if she says that he 's good and noble , that is how she will play it , even if it kills her . [ scene_break ] sonny : hi . the nurse said you wanted to see me ? kate : mm - hmm , i -- i want to apologize . i should have known better than to send carly to talk to you . sonny : hey , you know what ? i know how hard it is for you to ask carly for anything . kate : for all the good it did me . sonny : i do n't want you to worry about anything . i 'm handling things . you need to just focus on getting better . kate : i am , i 'm feeling stronger all the time . strong enough to think about the future . i 've been shot -- twice . and i do n't want that to ever happen again . i want the life that we talked about , the promises that we made to each other . so you tell me , what do we have to do to make that work ? [ scene_break ] max : well , dad , i 'm not looking for a wife at the moment , so there 's no point speculating what type i 'd choose . maximus : a man needs somebody to take care of him . milo : all due respect , you 've been through seven marriages . maximus : that 's why i know so much about women , milo . milo : mario ! diane : milo - mario makes a very salient point . why advocate an institution that has clearly done you no good ? maximus : it 's true that my marriages have never lasted . but each one of them has given me moments of great joy . all of which i wish to my sons . you 're young . but , max , hey , you got a lot of weight on your shoulder . so find somebody to come home to , somebody you can trust and believe in . diane : you might want to get to work on that , mr. giambetti . maximus : a good looking girl but a little mouthy . max : she 's perfect . let 's go , dad . let 's get you to the airport . maximus : i can get there on my own . and i got to make a stop on the way . come here .

[ scene_break ] olivia : so tell me a little about you and sonny . carly : oh , there is no `` little `` about me and sonny . it 's a complicated history . four marriages . olivia : yeah , well , do n't take this the wrong way , but you kind of seem like the kind of girl that sonny wants to get in the back of his car but not marry .

ridge : thomas signed the paper . shauna : he gave up his rights ? ridge : i do n't know what he gave up , but now they share custody . shauna : bu - but they 're not together . ridge : that 's california law for you , you do n't have to be together , i guess . shauna : so legally they 're both his parents ? ridge : seems that way . shauna : wow . ridge : yeah . i was right . now hope is in charge of everything about this boy , whether it 's decisions on religion or education or what 's gon na happen to his birthday party or what they 're doing during the holidays . shauna : and how does liam feel about all this ? ridge : he 's not thrilled about it . shauna : and what about thomas ? ridge : i have n't heard from thomas . the only information i have comes from brooke and hope and it 's not good . something about thomas , he just ... whenever he gives something , he wants something in return . shauna : so what do you think he wants in return ? ridge : he wants another shot at being with hope . shauna : well , he must really be in love with her . ridge : maybe . but we all know how she feels about him . it 's very clear . shauna : but he still signed the papers . ridge : yeah . no one has seen him or heard from him since . shauna : seriously ? ridge : mm - hmm ( affirmative ) . he does n't return my calls , steffy 's calls . shauna : i understand why you 're upset . i 'm just so sorry that you 're going through all of this . ridge : hey . brooke : hi . did you get my text ? ridge : yeah . i , i just now saw it . i 'm , i 'm so worried about thomas . brooke : that 's why i 'm calling . i need to talk to you about your son . ridge : what is it ? brooke : i think it 's best to do this face to face . are you at [ eric 's 00 : 11 : 32 ] ? ridge : yeah . brooke : all right . i 'll be over soon . hope : so it was n't acid ? but charlie said and there were signs posted . thomas : no . thankfully the , the crew had switched it out with a cleaning solution by then . hope : but when i went back to get you , i could n't find you anywhere and i looked all over that room . i called out your name . i mean you had to have known that i was looking for ... you made me believe that you were dead . thomas : i 'm sorry . hope : do you have any idea how horrified i was ? i came back here last night with douglas thinking that i had killed his father . thomas : okay . but you did n't . you did n't kill his father . okay ? i 'm here . i 'm alive . hope : thomas do you know how sick to my stomach i have been ? trying to wrap my brain , trying to figure out how i was gon na explain that to douglas . i mean he 's already lost one mother , but to lose his father too ? thomas : i know . i feel terrible and that 's why i , i came here . hope : i have been a wreck . i 've only been able to talk to my mother about everything . thomas : what ? you , you told brooke ? hope : yes , i told her . i told her the whole story . she , she thought you were dead too . but i , i just , i could n't , i have n't told anyone else . i , i wanted to , but i could n't because i was in shock and i did n't know what to do and i just ... i wish i had never pushed you . you were trying to kiss me and i did n't want that and i reacted . but i just say , i only was thinking about douglas . thomas : i know . hope : i never meant to hurt you . but you let me believe that you had died . how could you be so cruel ? thomas : i did n't mean to punish you , and hope , i did n't wan na scare you . i hate that i put you through that . to make you think that you had ended my life . but i had to make a point , even good people keep secrets . shauna : brooke wants to come talk to you ? ridge : yeah . she 's on her way now . shauna : well , i do n't think she 's gon na be happy to see me here . so maybe i should- ridge : do n't worry about that . it 's gon na take her a while to get here . shauna : and she knows something about thomas ? ridge : i , i do n't know . i hope so . shauna : i 'm sure he 's fine . a lot 's happened and maybe he just needed some space . ridge : space is good . but i know my son , you know , sometimes he likes to leave town when he makes a boneheaded move . shauna : do you think he regrets it ? ridge : i do n't know . maybe not yet , but he will . hope is in the middle of this now , and whatever he does , he has to do with her . and this is not all she wants , she wants full custody . that 's what she wants . i 'm not gon na let it happen . shauna : you 're cute when you get worked up . ridge : i 've been called a lot of things , cute is not one of them . shauna : all right , fine . you 're gorgeous , sexy , hands - on . ridge : i see now you 're making sense . shauna : ( laughs ) . ridge : i 'm not cute . shauna : and i can only imagine how handsome you 're gon na look in a tank top and i think- ridge : uh - uh ( negative ) , yeah , no , no one needs to see that . i 'm not going hiking with you . shauna : okay . then you need to go to the pool here and do some laps . i keep going out there hoping i 'm gon na see you because i can only imagine how cute you are in your swim trunks . hope : you wanted me to think you were dead ? thomas : it was a spur of the moment thing . i wanted you to see that anybody can feel the need to keep a secret . and i wanted you to try and understand what i went through when i kept the secret about beth . okay ? maybe you could see me in a new light . but i realize how , how traumatized you are . hope : you have no idea . thomas : hope , i did n't mean to put you through hell . okay ? but when , when i pulled myself out of that vat , and i saw that it could have been hydrofluoric acid , i realized something , that both of us , we 'd been given an opportunity . hope : opportunity ?

shauna : i understand . it does take two to compromise . ridge : i , i know how many people it takes , but i 'm already there . i 'm standing in the middle waiting for her , but she wo n't give thomas another chance . shauna : from brooke 's point of view , thomas has done his fair share of not telling the truth . ridge : i think thomas was also trying to protect his sister . he was trying to protect [ steffy 's 00 : 05 : 02 ] happiness . shauna : i understand . ridge : and i 'm , and i 'm not , i 'm not making excuses for him , it was awful . but he is trying to get better , he 's spending time with his son , he wants to be a better father . and whatever he does , it 's never gon na be good enough for brooke and hope . they 're not gon na stop until they take that little boy away from him . hope : the vat that thomas fell into , it was n't water . it was hydrofluoric acid . brooke : what ? hope : i killed him . i ki- , i killed thomas . nobody even knows yet . nobody has any idea . i mean ridge , steffy , douglas . i have to tell the truth and i should have from the start . hope : i have to tell you the truth , ridge . hope : i ca n't believe it 's really you . thomas : i thought you would 've been surprised to see me . hope : but how ? i thought you fell into the vat of acid , not , not , not that i knew that , that 's what it was , i just ... i did n't know . i had no idea until after i found douglas and i ran into charlie and then he told me about the hazardous materials , and then that 's when i panicked , and i realized what could have happened to you . and i ran to the storage room and i , i got a flashlight and i was looking all over and that 's when i saw the signs on the wall warning about the acid and i looked everywhere . i looked into that and i , i thought that i- thomas : you thought that i was dead . hope : my worst fear , that i had killed you and i would have never been able to forgive myself . i 'm just glad that you 're all right . i just do n't understand though . how are you standing in front of me right now ? i do n't . it does n't make sense . thomas : i 'm sorry . i never should have put you in that position . we should n't have been arguing and i should n't have chased after you . and look , i know you were just trying to defend douglas and i was just too caught up in , in trying to make you see , you know , what i wanted and , but , but that was wrong . and , and i should , i should have- hope : i just , i do n't understand how you survived . thomas : okay . after i fell , um , i do n't remember everything , but i remember , i remember being alone in the vat . hope : in the acid ? thomas : you thought it was acid . hope : i saw the signs after what charlie told me , and , and in the hazmat guy . speaker 6 : you should n't be in here . we need to shut down the ventilation system . hope : how is it possible that you 're here right now ? thomas : it was n't acid . hope : what ? thomas : the hydrofluoric acid had already been removed and they 'd replaced it with a cleaning solution by then . hope : cleaning solution ? thomas : yeah . i heard some of the crew guys talking about it . i mean , it 's , it 's still powerful stuff . i mean , i 'm still kind of raw all over and , and , and i cleaned my eyes out so much , i just , just making sure , you know . if it had been acid , i would n't be here right now . and i would n't be looking at the most beautiful woman i 've ever seen in my entire life . shauna : it sounds like hope 's determined to get a mother 's day card from your grandson . ridge : yeah . i think that 's what that dinner was about the other night at the office . shauna : and you knew it . ridge : and i was right . shauna : what ? ridge : thomas signed the paper . shauna : he gave up his rights ? ridge : i do n't know what he gave up , but now they share custody . shauna : bu - but they 're not together . ridge : that 's california law for you , you do n't have to be together , i guess . shauna : so legally they 're both his parents ? ridge : seems that way . shauna : wow . ridge : yeah . i was right . now hope is in charge of everything about this boy , whether it 's decisions on religion or education or what 's gon na happen to his birthday party or what they 're doing during the holidays . shauna : and how does liam feel about all this ? ridge : he 's not thrilled about it . shauna : and what about thomas ? ridge : i have n't heard from thomas . the only information i have comes from brooke and hope and it 's not good . something about thomas , he just ... whenever he gives something , he wants something in return . shauna : so what do you think he wants in return ? ridge : he wants another shot at being with hope . shauna : well , he must really be in love with her . ridge : maybe . but we all know how she feels about him . it 's very clear . shauna : but he still signed the papers . ridge : yeah . no one has seen him or heard from him since . shauna : seriously ? ridge : mm - hmm ( affirmative ) . he does n't return my calls , steffy 's calls . shauna : i understand why you 're upset . i 'm just so sorry that you 're going through all of this . ridge : hey . brooke : hi . did you get my text ? ridge : yeah . i , i just now saw it . i 'm , i 'm so worried about thomas . brooke : that 's why i 'm calling . i need to talk to you about your son . ridge : what is it ? brooke : i think it 's best to do this face to face . are you at [ eric 's 00 : 11 : 32 ] ? ridge : yeah . brooke : all right . i 'll be over soon . hope : so it was n't acid ? but charlie said and there were signs posted . thomas : no . thankfully the , the crew had switched it out with a cleaning solution by then . hope : but when i went back to get you , i could n't find you anywhere and i looked all over that room . i called out your name . i mean you had to have known that i was looking for ... you made me believe that you were dead . thomas : i 'm sorry . hope : do you have any idea how horrified i was ? i came back here last night with douglas thinking that i had killed his father . thomas : okay . but you did n't . you did n't kill his father . okay ? i 'm here . i 'm alive . hope : thomas do you know how sick to my stomach i have been ? trying to wrap my brain , trying to figure out how i was gon na explain that to douglas . i mean he 's already lost one mother , but to lose his father too ? thomas : i know . i feel terrible and that 's why i , i came here . hope : i have been a wreck . i 've only been able to talk to my mother about everything . thomas : what ? you , you told brooke ? hope : yes , i told her . i told her the whole story . she , she thought you were dead too . but i , i just , i could n't , i have n't told anyone else . i , i wanted to , but i could n't because i was in shock and i did n't know what to do and i just ... i wish i had never pushed you . you were trying to kiss me and i did n't want that and i reacted . but i just say , i only was thinking about douglas . thomas : i know . hope : i never meant to hurt you . but you let me believe that you had died . how could you be so cruel ? thomas : i did n't mean to punish you , and hope , i did n't wan na scare you . i hate that i put you through that . to make you think that you had ended my life . but i had to make a point , even good people keep secrets . shauna : brooke wants to come talk to you ? ridge : yeah . she 's on her way now . shauna : well , i do n't think she 's gon na be happy to see me here . so maybe i should- ridge : do n't worry about that . it 's gon na take her a while to get here . shauna : and she knows something about thomas ? ridge : i , i do n't know . i hope so . shauna : i 'm sure he 's fine . a lot 's happened and maybe he just needed some space . ridge : space is good . but i know my son , you know , sometimes he likes to leave town when he makes a boneheaded move . shauna : do you think he regrets it ? ridge : i do n't know . maybe not yet , but he will . hope is in the middle of this now , and whatever he does , he has to do with her . and this is not all she wants , she wants full custody . that 's what she wants . i 'm not gon na let it happen . shauna : you 're cute when you get worked up . ridge : i 've been called a lot of things , cute is not one of them . shauna : all right , fine . you 're gorgeous , sexy , hands - on . ridge : i see now you 're making sense . shauna : ( laughs ) . ridge : i 'm not cute . shauna : and i can only imagine how handsome you 're gon na look in a tank top and i think- ridge : uh - uh ( negative ) , yeah , no , no one needs to see that . i 'm not going hiking with you . shauna : okay . then you need to go to the pool here and do some laps . i keep going out there hoping i 'm gon na see you because i can only imagine how cute you are in your swim trunks . hope : you wanted me to think you were dead ? thomas : it was a spur of the moment thing . i wanted you to see that anybody can feel the need to keep a secret . and i wanted you to try and understand what i went through when i kept the secret about beth . okay ? maybe you could see me in a new light . but i realize how , how traumatized you are . hope : you have no idea . thomas : hope , i did n't mean to put you through hell . okay ? but when , when i pulled myself out of that vat , and i saw that it could have been hydrofluoric acid , i realized something , that both of us , we 'd been given an opportunity . hope : opportunity ? thomas : i put you in an impossible situation . i know the kind of compassionate , loving , caring person you are , you would never hurt anyone , let alone kill them . hope : of course , i would n't thomas . thomas : but i 'm not naive and i am so sorry for what i put you through . okay ? i never should have put you in that position . i got way too carried away with , with sharing custody of douglas . but that , that , that 's so important to me , giving my son a mother that he loves , and showing you how much i love you . 'cause i do , hope . everything that i have done comes from my feelings for you . hope : thomas . thomas : look , and i know that it sounds crazy and sometimes i do n't do things right , my methods are wrong . okay ? but i , i hope it shows how much you mean to me . and i really hope that i mean something to you too . hope , you 've been a mother to douglas from the beginning , and he 's your son . he 's yours , and he 's mine . we 're his parents now . okay ? and , and we 'll never forget caroline . we 'll always remember her . but you are actually his mother . i gave you and douglas the , the gift that you 've wanted from the beginning , it 's the greatest gift that i could ever give . that should tell you everything . there 's no more doubt . now you know who i really am .Summarize.[/INST]hope hugs thomas and starts babbling if he is all right . he assures her that he is . brooke and ridge separately think of each other but do not call . shauna comes in and interrupts . she said she just wanted to get out of the guest house for a while . actually she could have made an excuse but she really hoped she would see him . he seems pleased . she asks if there is anything he would like to talk about . he says he lost his son so maybe he has pushed it too far already trying to get his family together . and there is brooke . they can not find a compromise . she is there moving chess pieces around . he says he is not trying to make excuses for him . thomas was awful but he is trying to be better but they wo n't let him . brooke keeps hearing hope tell her the version where she pushed thomas and now he is gone . brooke picks up her phone again and tells herself she has to tell ridge the truth . hope cries she does not understand . she pushed him and when she returned to the vat it was empty . no more thomas . she babbles on and on how this could happen . it does not make sense . he says he is sorry . he should not have put her in that position . he was wrong to try to force her to see what he wanted her to see . he says he does not remember everything but he does remember coming to in the vat and hearing people say the acid had been removed and another cleaning solution was removing the damage . so if the acid was still there he would not be standing here with the most beautiful girl in the world . ridge explains that thomas gave away his rights , well at least full . they have shared custody , that is california law . the only information he has is from brooke and hope and that is not good . he has not heard from thomas and he knows he wants another shot at hope but they all know how she feels .</s> | 6,001 |

( sighs ) i 'm leaving los angeles . now you do n't have to worry about me being in your way anymore . [ scene_break ] brooke : i am so glad things are going well , 'cause you and liam have been through so much to get to this point . hope : i know . but you know , when you think about it , it 's -- it 's kind of silly how -- i mean , i finally move in with the man i love . we 're starting our life together , and i ca n't just sit back and enjoy it . brooke : honey , it 's normal . and now you 're seeing a therapist ... hope : ( scoffs ) yeah . brooke : and that should be helping . hope : yeah , definitely . brooke : ( gasps ) how 's this for good news ? hope : what ? brooke : steffy is leaving town . hope : no way ! brooke : ( squeals ) yes ! i should n't say `` good , `` because she is ridge 's daughter , and i really should n't celebrate , but i am . hope : um ... brooke : ( laughs ) i am . hope : wow , this is -- this is good . ( doorbell rings ) brooke : yeah , i know . you know , she 's going to aspen , but she 's not going there for good . she 's just going for a little while to clear her head and get her priorities straight . hope : huh . brooke : and i really think that steffy 's finally realizing that liam is never coming back to her . taylor : what were you saying about steffy ? brooke : oh , gosh , taylor , come in . ( laughs nervously ) um , i was just telling hope that i 'm happy s - steffy is taking a little time for herself and going out of town for a while . hope : mm . taylor : well , is ridge here ? that 's exactly why i 'm here . brooke : oh , no , i 'm sorry . he left for an early meeting . taylor : well , the two of you could at least pretend not to be so happy .

( chuckles ) bill : so she took a bite out of the poison apple , did she ? liam : ( chuckles ) bill : then what 's the problem ? steffy . you know she 's leaving town . [ scene_break ] hope : when 's your flight ? steffy : in a couple hours . do n't really have time for a tearful good - bye . hope : i got ta say , i was surprised to hear that you were going away . steffy : do n't be too excited . just because i 'm not gon na be in l.a. does n't mean you wo n't have to deal with me . i 'm still gon na be working . hope : ( scoffs ) aspen , of all places . steffy : yeah , bill offered his house , so why would i turn it down ? mountain air , scenery ... hope : i especially like the view from the gondola . you should check it out . steffy : look , hope , aspen is very special to me . it 's where liam and i got married . hope : mm - hmm . steffy : and even though we are in the process of getting a divorce , it just makes sense to be there right now . hope : no , i - i think this is good . i know how hard it is for you to be here , to see the man you love with another woman . steffy : okay , you know what ? you know , please do n't pretend to understand you know what i 'm feeling , okay ? hope : steffy , i do understand . i 've lived it . steffy : no . no . no , not really , 'cause liam is my husband , and you do n't really understand that bond . hope : okay , you know what , steffy ? after all of the detours , all of the roadblocks that liam and have been through , we are finally starting our lives together . and you can hold on to that label of `` wife `` for as long as you want , but really , what does it mean ? steffy : um , that i 'm not committing adultery . hope : ( clears throat ) i 'll admit , you upset me the first time you said that , but that 's not what it is , and i 'm not going to let you get to me anymore . steffy : hope , if it bothered you , then you know it 's true . tell me , how does a -- a good girl like you avoid letting it `` get to you `` ? hope : i have help . steffy : really ? what kind of help ? hope : from liam , from my mother , from people who care about me , who constantly remind me that liam and i have worked through so much to get here , and we should n't be ashamed of finally being together . you can call it `` adultery `` all you want , but i 'm not listening . that 's an ugly word , and that 's not how i feel when i 'm with him . steffy : okay , okay , you know what ? i 'm not hearing this , thank you very much . hope : okay , um ... ( inhales deeply , sighs ) steffy , i did n't mean to make you uncomfortable . but you need to know that the power you held over us is gone . i 'm not going to let you guilt - trip me anymore , steffy . i am proud of who i am and the decisions i 've made . and , steffy , how is it adultery when your marriage is over ? you know , you and liam would n't even be married if you had let me see him that day in aspen . i hope you think about that when you go there . [ scene_break ] brooke : i really do respect what steffy 's doing . going to aspen will help her put things in perspective and accept the situation taylor : well , this is the situation -- whether you want to hear it or not , liam loves steffy , or he never would have married her . brooke : ( sighs ) taylor : and it may look like he 's happy playing house with hope right now , but the fact is , this divorce is going to be very hard on him , harder than you 're willing to admit . [ scene_break ] bill : you do n't want her to leave . liam : of course , i do n't . but i 'm with hope now , and if steffy needs to get out of town to deal with that , then i guess i support her . bill : why do you think it 's going to work out with hope this time around ? liam : dad -- bill : it wo n't . it wo n't . steffy is still your wife . you love her . liam : i -- bill : lim , you still have feelings for her . hold on to your marriage , son . [ scene_break ] steffy : have you said what you needed to say ? i have to go . aspen awaits me . hope : steffy , look , i did n't come here to make you mad . steffy : let me guess- you came here to get me to agree to an annulment ? do n't bother . your mother already tried . did n't work . hope : ( sighs ) oh , god . fine . you know what , steffy ? i really do n't care when your marriage ends . yes , an annulment would be great , but if you want to hold out for divorce , that 's fine . that is your call . but just so you know , liam and i are going to be married the second it is official . steffy : um , we 'll see about that . hope : ( scoffs ) steffy : look , do n't get me wrong . i do believe if liam could marry you right now , he would . but in a few months from now ... ( inhales sharply ) i 'm not so sure . hope : oh , steffy , you ca n't possibly believe that liam 's going to change his mind . steffy : well , i 'm not giving up . hope : do n't you realize that you are just prolonging your pain ? do n't you see that ? i have moved in with liam , okay ? we have started our married life together . steffy : uh , adultery , you mean . hope : uhh , steffy ! i know you think it 's wrong for me to be living with your husband . there ! i said it -- your husband . but given the circumstances of the way you deceived liam -- trapping me , refusing to let me speak to him , i hardly think that you can call your marriage `` sacred `` !

[ dramatic music ] the in - laws have moved in with us . raines : well . well , well , well . this town , every member of the force , we trusted you . huh , for you to be involved in this is -- abe : i am not involved , damn it . rafe , you said your brother claimed his partner was someone important . that 's why he picked me . he could have named anyone , because this whole damn case is made up . but he chose me -- the mayor -- because it was a big enough name to divert the fbi 's attention , and it did . and then he disappears before he could come up with any proof . valerie : you see ? you see , eli ? dario played you -- all of you -- to get himself out of the charges and get himself a free pass . eli : i wish that were true , mom , but i 've seen the way abe 's been throwing his money around lately -- always paying in cash , always the same bills . valerie : so what ? now cash is a crime ? eli : let me ask you something : where 'd you get your necklace ? and those earrings ? valerie : well , what does that have to do with anything ? eli : you got them from abe , right ? valerie : yes . eli : abe , who paid his jeweler in cash , most of which turned out to be counterfeit . abe : what ? lani : that does n't prove anything . eli : oh , come on , lani . dario said he had a partner . it makes sense that abe would have the same access to the same cash that he did . lani : my father could have picked up those bills anywhere . jj : yeah , she 's right . dario 's money could have been circulating longer than we realized . abe : what can they see that you ca n't ? i 'm the victim here . eli : no , you 're not . abe : excuse me ? eli : i had the cash from the jewelry store analyzed . the bureau confirmed that based on the number of counterfeit bills , there was no way that it was coincidental . valerie : eli , please . eli : we can hold abe for 48 hours till we get the proof that we need . i 'm sorry , mom , but we will get it .

[ dramatic music ] steve : so , you want to tell me how we got here ? this big turnaround of yours ? i mean , you were out for blood , were n't you ? now you want to protect joey ? you 're all concerned for kayla ? tripp : well , the truth is , i was gon na leave town . bags were packed and everything . steve : and what stopped you ? tripp : claire did . she encouraged me to stick it out with you guys , see if you 'd give me a second chance . so i went to see kayla to apologize . steve : and what happened ? tripp : i offered to turn myself in . but she did n't want that . but she asked me to talk to joey . steve : oh , so it was her idea for you tell joey you 'd keep quiet about ava . tripp : you know , she did n't have to convince me , if that 's what you 're thinking . i wanted to do it . steve : why ? tripp : because i do n't want joey to go to prison , okay ? he 's my brother , your son . i do n't want you to lose him . [ delicate music ] joey : you know what you 're doing is called emotional blackmail , right ? kayla : what ? joey : you sent me to therapy for months . you do n't think i learned anything ? kayla : you 're right , sorry . i just do n't want you to do something that you 're gon na regret , and i know that it 's this guilt that 's driving you to make this confession , but really , you know what ? what good is it gon na do ? locking yourself away from the world and from your family ? i mean , it 's not gon na make things better . joey : what will ? kayla : i wish i knew . but no matter what your dad says , there 's no guarantee that you 're gon na get a short sentence . your whole life could change with one bad decision . joey : i know , mom . but i deserve it . i killed someone . i took someone 's life . i have to pay the price for that . kayla : joey , you 've already paid the price -- a huge price . you have carried around this terrible burden of guilt , and you have faced everybody that this affects , and none of us -- none of us -- want you to suffer anymore . do you understand me , joey ? you have such potential . you have your whole life to plan out -- friends to make , and -- fall in love , and -- joey , you have so much to give . and you have such a beautiful future to look forward to . joey : and i want to do all of those things , but i ca n't do any of them unless i do this first . kayla : no , no . no , i -- i ca n't let you do it . i just can't . i ca n't , i can't . listen , i know -- i know that you are doing this because you think that your dad respects you for doing it , but -- joey : this has nothing to do with dad , okay ? you 're the reason i want to turn myself in . [ dramatic music ] the in - laws have moved in with us . raines : well . well , well , well . this town , every member of the force , we trusted you . huh , for you to be involved in this is -- abe : i am not involved , damn it . rafe , you said your brother claimed his partner was someone important . that 's why he picked me . he could have named anyone , because this whole damn case is made up . but he chose me -- the mayor -- because it was a big enough name to divert the fbi 's attention , and it did . and then he disappears before he could come up with any proof . valerie : you see ? you see , eli ? dario played you -- all of you -- to get himself out of the charges and get himself a free pass . eli : i wish that were true , mom , but i 've seen the way abe 's been throwing his money around lately -- always paying in cash , always the same bills . valerie : so what ? now cash is a crime ? eli : let me ask you something : where 'd you get your necklace ? and those earrings ? valerie : well , what does that have to do with anything ? eli : you got them from abe , right ? valerie : yes . eli : abe , who paid his jeweler in cash , most of which turned out to be counterfeit . abe : what ? lani : that does n't prove anything . eli : oh , come on , lani . dario said he had a partner . it makes sense that abe would have the same access to the same cash that he did . lani : my father could have picked up those bills anywhere . jj : yeah , she 's right . dario 's money could have been circulating longer than we realized . abe : what can they see that you ca n't ? i 'm the victim here . eli : no , you 're not . abe : excuse me ? eli : i had the cash from the jewelry store analyzed . the bureau confirmed that based on the number of counterfeit bills , there was no way that it was coincidental . valerie : eli , please . eli : we can hold abe for 48 hours till we get the proof that we need . i 'm sorry , mom , but we will get it . [ dramatic music ] kayla : i 'm the reason that you want to turn yourself in ? joey : do you remember when i was in junior high ? we were living upstairs here , and dad was off somewhere on some adventure . i was always in some bad mood -- angry . i was n't very nice to you . i hated being the kid whose dad was never around . kayla : i remember . joey : and grandma caroline kept saying she was missing some cash from the register , and she did n't know where it went . kayla : found that new game console in your dresser . joey : you brought me out here to this bench , and you told me that i was gon na make it right . you made me go inside , tell grandma that i was the one who took her money , and that i spent it on myself . kayla : you did n't speak to me for weeks . joey : i couldn't . i was too busy bussing tables , and doing dishes , and taking out the trash to pay my grandma back . kayla : with interest . joey : with interest . and when i did , i thought she would thank me or tell me she forgave me . you know what she said ? she told me to stop feeling sorry for myself because i did n't have my dad around , because what i did have was the best mom in the world , who was teaching me to do the right thing . you know , and it was hard . that 's what i 'm trying to do now , mom , just like you taught me . [ dramatic music ] [ gentle music ] claire : are you almost done ? theo : yep . almost . claire : what -- oh , my god ! theo : what ? eli : yes , sir . valerie : how could you do this , eli ? eli : it 's not personal , mom . valerie : it is now . eli : look , i 'm just doing my job . i 'm sorry . abe : yeah , well , i am sorry too . this is slander , and after 48 hours , when you are forced to release me , i am going to sue every one of you . [ dramatic music ] steve : when i saw you with that scalpel against kayla 's neck , the woman i love more than anything in this world , and then when you turned it on my son , my own flesh and blood , i wanted to take you out myself . tripp : why did n't you ? steve : because you 're my flesh and blood too . tripp : nobody would have blamed you . steve : maybe not , but i had to put my anger aside and put you first . tripp : why ? steve : because that 's what a parent does for his child . [ gentle music ] kayla : i get it now . i understand what you want to do and why . joey : i know you do n't want me to do this , and that you 're worried sick about me , but you raised me to do the right thing .

[ laughs ] nicole is pregnant with rafe 's baby . nothing is yours . ej : do n't do this . do n't deprive me of my child . you know it 's wrong . you know i 'm a good father . can you please just admit the truth , so we can put all of this behind us ? jennifer : maybe it 's time for you to move on , ej . do n't you think ? sami : well , you are my son , and you 're smart . will : no , i am not smart . uh , it 's just that you 're transparent . sami : yes , you are smart , and , okay , maybe i 'm a little with you , but , um , i thought you liked ej . will : i do , but how i feel about him does n't matter . i think we discussed this before about your disastrous history together , right ? why would you want to repeat that ? sami : okay , you make a good point . what ? will : i make a good point ? who are you , and what have you done with my mother ? wow . you do want to get on my good side . sami : hey , be nice , please . will : i - i will , i will . sami : [ laughs ] will : i 'll try . sami : okay , thank you . you know , when ej resigned , he talked about how important it was for him to be with his family , and i hope you know that that 's always been my first priority . will : that is good . um , you know , i have to say , though , that it -- it seems that a lot of your recent decision - making has kind of revolved around whatever ej is doing . sami : look , if ej and i are going to ... you know , tiptoe towards maybe potentially having a relationship , we 're both aware that it affects a lot of people besides us . will : okay . maybe he is having a better effect on you than i thought . sami : and i do appreciate your advice . one thing i do n't want is to repeat the bad history , what 's happened between us . will : wow , y -- i -- you 're freakin ' me out a little bit with all this reasonableness . sami : [ scoffs ] i just -- i want you to be honest with me about your feelings . will : i am . i 'm doing that . sami : i know , but about ej . do you think that , um , i 'm making another mistake by thinking about getting back together with him ? ej : justin , ej dimera . um , well , since they say that an attorney who has himself for a client is a fool , um , i was wondering if i could ask you for some legal advice . it 's regarding a rather personal and delicate matter . it concerns my ex - wife , nicole walker , so i would be very grateful if you could give me a call . thank you . nicole : actually , in the beginning , daniel was the one pursuing a relationship with me . and then melanie got kidnapped , and now nick fallon is out on parole , and he 's focused on his daughter . rafe : i 'll bet he is . nicole : he 's a good father . rafe : yeah . nicole : and i get why he has to make her a priority now . i mean , i would -- i 'll do the same thing when my son 's born . rafe : yeah . well , it sounds all very neat and tidy . nicole : [ grumbles ] okay , fine . you know what , there 's more to the story . you know , you cops , you 're so annoying . rafe : yeah . nicole : [ laughs ] rafe : so ? nicole : oh . everything i 've told you is true . there 's just another layer now that jack has passed away unexpectedly . jennifer is back on daniel 's radar . rafe : so you think daniel still has feelings for jennifer ? nicole : okay , let 's not get carried away , all right ? daniel has a big heart , and he would help anyone -- anyone that he 's cared about , no matter the cost to him . but that heart needs to go to the right person . rafe : and that would be you . nicole : just sayin ' . daniel : i hope it 's still hot . melanie : yes , thank you . daniel : so who was at the door earlier ? melanie : brady . he was just doing the same thing you 're about to do . daniel : really ? buying you coffee loaded with soy products ? melanie : ha , no , driving me crazy . daniel : honey , listen to me -- melanie : no -- i -- look , i love you . daniel : i love you , but -- melanie : good -- uh , good , so you can stay here , and we can talk about whatever you want , as long as it 's what normal people talk about , which means no kidnapping , no parole boards , no nightmares . daniel : i 'm sorry , you 're having nightmares ? are you having nightmares now ? you did n't tell me you were having nightmares . melanie : just -- you did n't listen to a single thing i jus -- daniel : i did listen to you , you said , `` nightmares . `` melanie : how 'bout we talk about the cubs , or we could talk about the election 'cause that 's always something good to talk about . daniel : you know , why do n't we talk about this ... engagement ring on your finger ? melanie : [ sighs ] jennifer : um ... are you here for that ? brady : this ? uh , yeah . you too ? jennifer : yeah , i 'm so late . brady : i know , i 'm late for it too . jennifer : on purpose ? brady : maybe . i do n't know , these bereavement groups , they probably help a lot of people , but honestly , i do n't -- i do n't feel like i want to focus on what i lost , you know ? jennifer : you know what ? i get that , i do . brady : i mean , i 'm sitting here , right ? this pretzel -- [ laughs ] this giant pretzel , i -- i used to get one of these for madison every single time the guy with the cart was here , and she used to eat the whole thing , and i honestly -- i ca n't finish this . is this the biggest pretzel you 've ever seen ?

[ laughs ] nicole is pregnant with rafe 's baby . nothing is yours . ej : do n't do this . do n't deprive me of my child . you know it 's wrong . you know i 'm a good father . can you please just admit the truth , so we can put all of this behind us ? jennifer : maybe it 's time for you to move on , ej . do n't you think ? sami : well , you are my son , and you 're smart . will : no , i am not smart . uh , it 's just that you 're transparent . sami : yes , you are smart , and , okay , maybe i 'm a little with you , but , um , i thought you liked ej . will : i do , but how i feel about him does n't matter . i think we discussed this before about your disastrous history together , right ? why would you want to repeat that ? sami : okay , you make a good point . what ? will : i make a good point ? who are you , and what have you done with my mother ? wow . you do want to get on my good side . sami : hey , be nice , please . will : i - i will , i will . sami : [ laughs ] will : i 'll try . sami : okay , thank you . you know , when ej resigned , he talked about how important it was for him to be with his family , and i hope you know that that 's always been my first priority . will : that is good . um , you know , i have to say , though , that it -- it seems that a lot of your recent decision - making has kind of revolved around whatever ej is doing . sami : look , if ej and i are going to ... you know , tiptoe towards maybe potentially having a relationship , we 're both aware that it affects a lot of people besides us . will : okay . maybe he is having a better effect on you than i thought . sami : and i do appreciate your advice . one thing i do n't want is to repeat the bad history , what 's happened between us . will : wow , y -- i -- you 're freakin ' me out a little bit with all this reasonableness . sami : [ scoffs ] i just -- i want you to be honest with me about your feelings . will : i am . i 'm doing that . sami : i know , but about ej . do you think that , um , i 'm making another mistake by thinking about getting back together with him ? ej : justin , ej dimera . um , well , since they say that an attorney who has himself for a client is a fool , um , i was wondering if i could ask you for some legal advice . it 's regarding a rather personal and delicate matter . it concerns my ex - wife , nicole walker , so i would be very grateful if you could give me a call . thank you . nicole : actually , in the beginning , daniel was the one pursuing a relationship with me . and then melanie got kidnapped , and now nick fallon is out on parole , and he 's focused on his daughter . rafe : i 'll bet he is . nicole : he 's a good father . rafe : yeah . nicole : and i get why he has to make her a priority now . i mean , i would -- i 'll do the same thing when my son 's born . rafe : yeah . well , it sounds all very neat and tidy . nicole : [ grumbles ] okay , fine . you know what , there 's more to the story . you know , you cops , you 're so annoying . rafe : yeah . nicole : [ laughs ] rafe : so ? nicole : oh . everything i 've told you is true . there 's just another layer now that jack has passed away unexpectedly . jennifer is back on daniel 's radar . rafe : so you think daniel still has feelings for jennifer ? nicole : okay , let 's not get carried away , all right ? daniel has a big heart , and he would help anyone -- anyone that he 's cared about , no matter the cost to him . but that heart needs to go to the right person . rafe : and that would be you . nicole : just sayin ' . daniel : i hope it 's still hot . melanie : yes , thank you . daniel : so who was at the door earlier ? melanie : brady . he was just doing the same thing you 're about to do . daniel : really ? buying you coffee loaded with soy products ? melanie : ha , no , driving me crazy . daniel : honey , listen to me -- melanie : no -- i -- look , i love you . daniel : i love you , but -- melanie : good -- uh , good , so you can stay here , and we can talk about whatever you want , as long as it 's what normal people talk about , which means no kidnapping , no parole boards , no nightmares . daniel : i 'm sorry , you 're having nightmares ? are you having nightmares now ? you did n't tell me you were having nightmares . melanie : just -- you did n't listen to a single thing i jus -- daniel : i did listen to you , you said , `` nightmares . `` melanie : how 'bout we talk about the cubs , or we could talk about the election 'cause that 's always something good to talk about . daniel : you know , why do n't we talk about this ... engagement ring on your finger ? melanie : [ sighs ] jennifer : um ... are you here for that ? brady : this ? uh , yeah . you too ? jennifer : yeah , i 'm so late . brady : i know , i 'm late for it too . jennifer : on purpose ? brady : maybe . i do n't know , these bereavement groups , they probably help a lot of people , but honestly , i do n't -- i do n't feel like i want to focus on what i lost , you know ? jennifer : you know what ? i get that , i do . brady : i mean , i 'm sitting here , right ? this pretzel -- [ laughs ] this giant pretzel , i -- i used to get one of these for madison every single time the guy with the cart was here , and she used to eat the whole thing , and i honestly -- i ca n't finish this . is this the biggest pretzel you 've ever seen ? [ laughs ] jennifer : ginormous , yes . [ laughter ] brady : will you -- will you help me out with this thing , please ? ej : yes , florence , i 'm well aware that it is a custom order . and that i 've given you no time , but my dear , you 've never let me down before , and you know i pay very , very well . she is extremely special , thank you , but she 's also prone to flip - flopping , which is why this gift has to be extra special . will : um , you know what ? you always do what you want to do , so why do you suddenly care what i think ? sami : i always care what you think , but now i can ask you 'cause you 're old enough and definitely all grown up lately , and you 're better than most people in this town at being objective about ej , so ... so what do you think ? will : you know , i think that underneath it all , i think he is a good person . sami : okay , that says a lot . does that mean that you think that it 'll really work for us this time ? will : you know , i did n't at first , but i do n't know , i 've given it a lot of thought , and , you know , if you want to be together , you really want to be together , then , yeah , you should try , i think , you know ? and i 'll root for you . i 'll -- i 'll help , or whatever . sami : [ laughs ] will : [ laughs ] sami : thank you ! will : oh . wow , thank you . i mean , thanks for actually talking to me about doing something before , you know , you do it . i 'm serious . sami : [ laughs ] you 're welcome . will : [ laughs ] sami : so are you gon na open your present or wait till next christmas ? will : all right .

[ laughter ] and it 's these little memories that really get me the most . brady : the little things that only you and he knew , they 're the best . jennifer : yeah . brady : you know , i spoke to melanie this morning . that actually helped me out a little bit , focusing on someone else 's problems . it 's amazing . jennifer : i know it 's really rough for melanie with nick back here , but i 'm telling you , brady , he 's changed , i really believe that , i do . brady : i hope that you 're right . jennifer : well , she 's lucky , she has you . brady : well , thank you . she has me , she has chad , she has her father too . jennifer : yeah , daniel 's a great dad . brady : he 's a very good dad . jennifer : yeah . you know , the way he is with melanie reminds me of how jack was with abigail . i mean , not that they would n't get into it like cats and dogs sometimes .

[ scene_break ] robin : when i first started this blog , the purpose was to reach out to other expectant mothers and try to prepare myself as a single mother that 's about to bring in this little being into my world . but i find it kind of ironic , because it seems like the subject i discuss the most is the baby 's father , and -- patrick : robin ? robin : hold that thought , please . you know , i 'm kind of in the middle of something , so it would be great if you could just come back later . patrick : well , the blog can wait . this ca n't . look , i 've been thinking about what elizabeth said , and she 's right . this baby 's going to come , and i 'm going to be a father , whether i 'm prepared or not . robin : okay , but this baby is n't coming for months , so why start stressing about something that has n't even happened yet ? patrick : i 'm not stressing . i 'm just trying to understand my role in all this . robin : okay , but there are no expectations here . i told you that i am completely prepared to do this on my own . you -- patrick : yes , you 've me told me that a hundred times . robin : well , apparently not enough , because now we 're having this conversation . patrick : robin , i am the father of this baby . now it 's time we figure out what that means . [ scene_break ] jax : see , there 's a big difference between flirtation and romance . flirtation is supposed to be fun . no one gets too serious . sometimes it leads to sex . sometimes it does n't . romance , on the other hand , is completely different . romance can lead to love , the problem being sometimes one person gets a little more attached than the other . spinelli : yeah , such is the jackal 's dilemma . i mean , despite my many efforts to man up , as it were , the jackal has fallen hard and is descending consistently into the abyss of love at an alarming rate . sadly , maximista has failed to notice , let alone reciprocate his feelings . oh . jax : mr. spinelli , if you wear your heart on your sleeve , it is going to get crushed . you have to treat love like a game and pretend that it does n't matter whether you lose this girl or not , but you keep it fun . you make her believe that she 's the one who got serious first .

[ scene_break ] robin : when i told you that i was ready to have a child , you said , `` no kids , i do n't want to be a father , that 's not part of the plan . `` has something changed ? patrick : yeah , robin , everything 's changed . you have a baby growing inside of you , a life that i helped create . and i do n't want to miss who that child is going to become . but most of all , i do n't want that child growing up feeling unloved and unwanted because it was n't part of some plan . i ca n't help but think that i 'm going to be a lousy father . robin : why would you think that ? patrick : i did n't really have the best role model . my dad put work in front of everything . then when my mother died , he completely abandoned me . i do n't know the first thing of what a kid needs or how a father thinks . and i 'm not talking about being a coach at little league or helping with the homework before dinner . i 'm talking about being present in a child 's life . you know , being available . i worked so hard at being a surgeon that if i start thinking about a child , my work is inevitably going to suffer . and i 'm not saying that is going to happen with you . i 'm just saying that -- robin : listen , i -- patrick : people have priorities . robin : i understand , and i really want to hear what you have to say , but i keep thinking about pizza , a loaded one from abruzzio 's . patrick : you 're hungry . robin : so hungry . will you please pick one up for me ? [ scene_break ] maxie : you need to go up to the office right now . jax : why ? what happened ? maxie : giselle is here and she and kate are locked in a battle to the death . i mean , it 's serious . if you do n't get upstairs right now , giselle is going get enough dirt to bury `` crimson `` before it even launches . [ scene_break ] giselle : kate , now it 's obviously all making sense . you had no choice about hiring lulu , despite her fashion handicap . she clearly has extremely powerful friends . lulu : anthony did n't threaten kate to give me a job . giselle : it must be terrible to have your new magazine embroiled in mob politics . i certainly hope that there 's no implication that `` crimson `` is financed by dirty money . kate : giselle , please . jasper jacks is my sole investor and i think that his reputation speaks for itself . giselle : and i absolutely adore jax . is he around ? jax : giselle , you 're looking as lovely as ever . giselle : despite a run - in with the head of a mob syndicate . while i found mr. zacchara charming , he 's not the company i usually keep . jax : in that case , we will have to find something more appropriate for you to do during your visit . if i remember correctly , you 're always up for a game of chance , are you ? giselle : what do you have in mind ? jax : roulette , actually . giselle : monte carlo or dubai ? jax : the haunted star . it 's a casino on the waterfront here . and kate and i were just about to go over there after work . would you care to join us ? kate : that 's a wonderful idea , jax , unless -- giselle , i 'm sure you have to get back to manhattan . giselle : i would n't miss it . one does n't often get the chance to gamble in the wilds of upstate . jax : well , shall we ? kate : i 'll just get my purse . maxie : enjoy . maxie : what the hell was anthony zacchara doing here ? lulu : i do n't have time to explain . i have to find johnny . maxie : really ? [ scene_break ] leyla : hate to be the one to break it to you , but those two are definitely sleeping together . nadine : that 's impossible . nikolas is way too in love with emily to ever cheat on her . leyla : it 's not technically cheating if your fiancée is dead . nadine : it would still feel like that to him . leyla : who said anything about feelings ? there is such a thing as grief sex . and that woman -- perfectly willing to give it to him . nadine : no , nikolas is way too honorable to ever sleep with a woman like that . leyla : okay , he might be a prince , but he 's far from perfect . he 's still a man . and what man do you know passes up a woman dressed like that ? nadine : mm , i do n't believe it . i wo n't -- not until nikolas tells me himself . leyla : uh - uh , do n't you dare ask him . nadine : why not ? leyla : because then he 's going to think you 're a creepy stalker and not just a friend . and it would ruin any chance you have with him . [ scene_break ] nikolas : i appreciate your offer , but this clinic is my last gift to emily . i want to build it myself with my own money . claudia : you mean without money that 's tainted by organized crime ? if you think i meant to use your place as a front or something , you could n't be more wrong . nikolas : no , no , no . that thought never even crossed my mind , honestly . claudia : good , then let me help . we both know i owe you . [ scene_break ] sam : you need to remind me to thank your father when we find him . lucky : for what ? sam : for what ? well , i have forgotten what it 's like to just pick up and go , you know ? back in my salvage days i would do it all the time . i would just sail from one port to the next . no plan , no schedule , just leave . lucky : do you ever regret giving it up ? sam : yeah , sometimes . i think my life was probably a lot simpler back then , and it was a lot easier to stay distracted . and if things got tough , i would just go . and i ca n't do that now . it would n't necessarily be fair . lucky : yeah ? for who ? sam : well , my mom and my sisters and you . i never would 've guessed a cop could handle himself so well in a bar fight . lucky : well , you would be surprised what they teach in the academy these days . sam : oh , yeah ? do they teach you how to handle big biker guys ? lucky : no , i became a cop to make a difference , to try to do something good with my life . not that i 'm opposed to rules and regulations or trying to have fun . you know what ? that probably did sound a little defensive . sam : i think it sounds like you have probably caught a lot of criticism , probably for the choices you 've made . lucky : yeah , my dad does n't understand how a kid of his could end up on the wrong side of the law , at least as far as he 's concerned . sam : well , i happen to like who you are , and i would n't change a thing . lucky : neither would i . sam : that 's good . lucky : you just seem so relaxed and happy , a little different from when we were back home . sam : do i ? lucky : uh - huh . sharon : hey , cindy . who 's your friend ? [ scene_break ] giselle : thank you . jax : the haunted star has the only gambling license in miles . it 's under new ownership . they do n't mind us playing for high stakes . giselle : i trust it wo n't be a waste then . i 'd hate to walk in and find a card table with a row of slots . jax : i 'm sure you wo n't be disappointed . giselle : well , how could i be with you to keep me company ? kate : oh , dear god . giselle : excuse me ? oh , my , what a fabulous suit . you do n't often see a man of that age so well - tailored . do you know him ? kate : no -- no , i do n't . i 've never seem him before . jax : well , perhaps we should get going . giselle : no . jax : uh , giselle , let me introduce you to a friend of mine . this is -- spinelli : [ speaking with an australian accent ] ah , giselle . giselle : yes . spinelli : what a lovely name . i 'm damian . it 's a pleasure to meet you . [ scene_break ] nikolas : so , i 'm thinking about removing this wall here and expanding the waiting area . that way , there 'll be more room for patients and their families . but i 'm afraid that we may have to lose one of these exam rooms to make that happen . what are your thoughts on that ? nadine : uh , yeah , that 'd be nice . nikolas : but is it worth it ? nadine : what ? nikolas : to lose an exam room for more space in here ? nadine : uh , that is entirely up to you . nikolas : are you all right ? nadine : yeah , why ? nikolas : i do n't know . you just seem a little distracted . nadine : i 'm just , uh , trying to picture it all in my head . nikolas : yeah , i know . well , i think we 'll be able to envision it a bit better once we get the plans from the architect . but i think , at least in the meantime , we can get the carpenter in here , do a little walk - through -- nadine : are you sleeping with claudia zacchara ? [ scene_break ] lulu : johnny ? claudia : johnny 's not here . but then , if you 'd bothered to call instead of just barging in , i could have saved you a trip . lulu : well , i can wait . claudia : i live here , too , lulu . so you do n't just get to barge in without knocking . lulu : johnny gave me a key . claudia : what 'd i tell you about the attitude ? lulu : i do n't listen to what you say . it makes it easier for me to tolerate you for johnny 's sake . claudia : let me put this in a language that you can understand , little lulu . [ lulu laughs ] claudia : the only reason that you 're still alive is because my father is using you to manipulate my brother . if you actually cared about john at all , you would n't hang around and give my dad the leverage he needs . lulu : you can save the speech . trevor already tried to get me to leave town , but i 'm not going anywhere . claudia : no , of course you 're not . because why would you do anything that was n't in your own selfish best interest ? all right , let me put it this way , lulu . if you want to go on living your safe little sweet life , you stay the hell away from my brother . lulu : you may be a spoiled bitch who 's used to getting everything she wants , but not this time . you 're not getting nikolas and you 're sure as hell not keeping me out of johnny 's life . tell him i came by . [ scene_break ] johnny : where 's lulu ? maxie : she left . johnny : did she say when she 'd be back ? maxie : lulu does n't say a whole lot to me unless she 's hurling insults . i mean , you 're welcome to wait around , but i ca n't guarantee when or if she 's going to return . she 's not exactly known for her attentiveness to this job , but i keep holding out that the last responsible bone in lulu 's body will pull through and she 'll show up to finish her work . have you tried to call her ? johnny : yeah , a couple of times . it went straight to voicemail . maxie : well , kate makes us turn our cell phones off while we 're working for her . something about us being here to answer her calls and not our own . i 'm sure she just forgot to turn it back on . johnny : guess i 'll wait . maxie : well , if you 're going to hang around , you might as well help me take these boxes to storage , unless you plan on sitting there and watching me break my back while i do it myself . johnny : you know , somehow you strike me as anything but helpless .

[ scene_break ] sam : you want to get a room here ? silas : well , you did say this place has the best view of the fireworks , and give us an opportunity to be alone . sam : [ sighs ] which we never are . silas : exactly . i do n't want to pressure you into doing something you do n't want to do . sam : no , i - i think i 'd like that . waiter : so , have you decided on dessert ? silas : just the check , please . sam : no , thank you . silas : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] nikolas : i do n't understand . dante and lulu used in vitro before . what -- what happened ? britt : i 've already said too much . nikolas : wow , i - i do n't believe it . lulu must be devastated . i know how badly she wanted to have a child with dante . britt : you do n't know how sorry i am . [ scene_break ] dante : you do n't mean that . this is just a setback , okay ? you do still want to have a child , right ? lulu : i just ca n't do this anymore . time after time , it 's just led to one heartbreak after another . i ... first my -- my defective uterus ca n't carry a baby to full term , and then i get us blackballed by every adoption agency in the world because i was afraid that they would reject us because of our pasts , and -- and then we ... we finally get this -- this beautiful baby girl , and she 's taken away from us . dante : it 's been difficult . lulu : `` difficult `` ? dante : but it 's -- but it 's not impossible . lulu : the universe is trying to tell us something , okay ? it 's not -- not leaving hints or -- or -- or -- or clues . these are n't roadblocks . these are bombshells . and i do n't know why . i do n't know why . maybe it 's , like , fate or karma or something . but clearly the universe is telling us that we need to stop . dante : what are you talking about ? you honestly believe that ? that the cosmos do n't want us to have a child ? lulu : i think that we should come to terms with the fact that maybe we 're not meant to be parents . dante : okay , i understand why you 'd feel that way , but there are still options . lulu : there are so many ... opportunities for heartbreak , and i just ca n't live through another one . [ voice breaking ] i just need it to stop . i just need all of this to stop before there 's nothing left of me . dante : okay . okay . look , hey . we 've had -- we 've had a bad day . we got some more crappy news . but i do n't think we 're thinking clearly right now . why do n't we just put all this aside for now ? it 's not yet midnight . let 's go to the roof , watch some fireworks , and we 'll focus on the one thing that we do actually have , which is each other . what do you say ? lulu : i ca n't . dante : okay . we 'll just stay in . lulu : i was n't talking about the fireworks . [ sniffles ] i ca n't stay here . i 'm leaving . dante : what do you mean , you 're leaving ? lulu : i just ca n't be here . this is where we had connie . this is where we fed her and we changed her and we loved her and we made all of our plans . i just -- i just need to be someplace else for a while . dante : what does that -- what does that mean , a while ? lulu : [ sniffles ] i do n't know . dante : no ! tell me . a night ? a week ? what ? what -- are you moving out ? lulu : i just need some space ! dante : no ! lulu : no ? dante : no , lulu ! you ca n't do this right now ! this is when we 're supposed to be leaning on each other , you know ? lulu : you do n't understand what i 'm going through ! dante : the hell i do n't ! just -- i - i loved connie , too , okay ? ! she was my daughter , too ! but right now , you and i need to be with each other ! i need you , anyway ! lulu : this is n't just about that . dante : then what is this about ? what -- what -- what are you telling me ? that this is about what happened in court ? because i did n't lie for you on the stand ? you -- you resent me , right ? so , what ? you blame me ... you blame me because we lost connie ? lulu : i do n't want to ! dante : then do n't ! lulu : i ca n't help it ! i ca n't help but think that if you would have just had my back -- dante : i 've always got your back . lulu : not in court . not when it mattered the most . i know that you did n't mean to hurt me . but this is how i feel . i wish that it was n't , but it is . and as long as i feel this way , i ca n't be here with you . [ scene_break ] maxie : that 's very sweet of you to offer . much nicer than i deserve . nathan : oh , i 'll bet anything that 's not true . maxie : well , you 're only saying that because you do n't know me . but my life went to hell literally at the stroke of midnight last new year 's eve . and i promised myself that i would be far , far away from port charles this new year 's eve so that i can start 2014 with a clean slate . nathan : i get it . maxie : but thanks anyway . [ cell phone chimes ] maxie : it 's my parents . they ca n't find a parking space . i need to meet them downstairs . nathan : let me at least give you a hand . maxie : no , i got it . nathan : all right . you 're breaking my mother 's heart here . she 'd never forgive me if i did n't take your bag downstairs . maxie : usually i 'm not shy about asking for help , but , um , i think it 's time i start handling things on my own . nathan : fair enough . so , i guess i 'll see you when you get back , then ? maxie : i guess so . nathan : when will that be ? maxie : [ sighs ] when i find myself .

[ scene_break ] steffy : everything i need to know is right here on my finger . liam loves me . i love him we have committed ourselves in marriage , and that 's all that matters to him and to me . brooke : if hope had n't been stuck in a gondola like caged animal , things might not have worked out for you . steffy : ( sighs ) brooke : you knew hope was going to be there . you had that gondola stopped . steffy : what ? are you -- wow , are you serious , brooke ? okay , look , the conspiracy theories have got to go . brooke : you arranged to stop that gondola . i do n't know how you did it or who helped you , but i know it was you .

[ scene_break ] steffy : okay , i do n't know if i should be flattered or offended that you actually think i was that capable of masterminding such an incredible feat . brooke : no , i do n't think that you stopped that gondola all by yourself , i think you had help . steffy : oh , okay . yeah , i had this little gondola fairy that kind of flew in there -- brooke : maybe it was bill . steffy : bill ? really ? are you serious ? bill was in l.a. and i doubt mechanics are really his strong point . brooke : he 's a powerful man , and he has many , many connections . he easily could have orchestrated this with you . steffy : okay , you know what ? i do n't have to answer to you . you 're acting totally paranoid , brooke . brooke : ( chuckles ) i never thought that you would admit it . you have too much at stake . steffy : you know what ? think what you want . i really do n't care . brooke : you may have succeeded in keeping those to apart for that one day , and you may think that ring seals the deal , but there is such a thing as an annulment , especially when a marriage is based on fraud . steffy : fraud ? ( scoffs ) wow . are you serious , brooke ? brooke : liam and hope are meant to be together , and i 'm sure they 're realizing that right now . [ scene_break ] hope : the night of your bachelor party , i went to your house because i wanted to surprise you with an incredibly romantic night . liam : yeah , and that 's when you saw me kissing steffy . i 'm sorry . hope : you broke my heart . liam : why could n't you just talk to me ? hope : i tried , liam . i tried the next day after i realized that i had been childish i went to your house to talk to you , and who did i run into ? steffy , and she had my ring on her finger . how could you do that , liam ? how could you put my ring on her finger ? liam : because you did n't want it anymore , hope . you put it on my mantle like it meant nothing to you . hope : i was -- i was hurt ! but i still believed in us . i went to your office to find you , and i talked to your dad , and he told me that you had left town with your new fiancée . he did n't tell me where . but , you know , it -- it did n't matter , because i tracked you down myself i flew to aspen for you , and on my way up the mountain in that gondola , i was filled with so much anticipation . and then when i saw you standing there , i was ecstatic , because you were there . you came , and when i was almost to the top , my gondola stopped . and then ... there was steffy , and she was walking up to you , and she was wearing the white dress , and then a minister showed up . and i yelled for you , liam . i screamed your name at the top of my lungs , and i pounded on the windows . liam : i did n't hear you . hope : i wanted to jump out and -- and -- and beg you not to do it and tell you that you were making a huge mistake , but i could n't . i was trapped . there was nothing i could do while steffy married the man i love .

[ scene_break ] charlie : i 'm no good to viki , at least not the way i am now . dorian : and how is that ? charlie : full of hatred . dorian : oh , i know that feeling . drinking is not gon na bring jared back , and it 's certainly not gon na stop mitch laurence . charlie : yeah ? you got a better idea ? dorian : well , as a matter of fact , i do .

[ scene_break ] kim : okay , let 's take one thing at a time . how did kyle hear about schuyler ? stacy : i was at the doctor , and he figured i was lying about my due date . kim : okay . you did n't mention that part . stacy : it was just one of those days . anyway , kyle 's a med student , so he can be lurking or whatever . and schuyler comes up and goes off about mitch and his baby 's safety . kim : oh , brother . stacy : yeah , kyle was in both of our faces . kim : okay , not great , but would kyle have any reason to tell rex ? [ scene_break ] bo : hey , balsom . bo : hey , you got a minute ? nora : go . i 'm fine . i 'll take care of this . bo : okay . [ music playing ] nora : did you get ahold of charlie ? viki : no . it just goes straight to voice mail . he does n't want to talk to me . [ scene_break ] rex : mitch tried to kidnap stacy . bo : what ? rex : he sent in some female flunky with a needle full of something to knock her out . stacy fought back . by the time i showed up , mitch was there , too , ready to finish the job . bo : he wants them for leverage against you . rex : it 's worse than that . he says that the baby is the heir to his cult . bo : all right , you need protection , balsom . rex : well , i already hired fish to watch stacy when i 'm not home . i moved in with stacy till the baby 's born . bo : how does gigi feel about that ? rex : could n't care less . she 's already left me for schuyler joplin . [ scene_break ] gigi : i hope roxy 's drinking water . anything harder , and she gets really mean . schuyler : oh , that was the nice version ? gigi : i deserve it . schuyler : hey , do n't . gigi : what i do n't get is why kyle 's so mad at you . did you see the looks he gave you ? [ scene_break ] roxy : i gave that guy a roof over his head , let that skank stacy bunk with him for free . i should have kicked his butt out . kyle : yeah , but you should have kicked me out , too , and you did n't . you have a good heart , rox . roxy : yeah , and i got half a brain . but it worked out . you 've got my back . kyle : yes , i do . but i also can not afford bail , so please just do n't throw any more stuff . roxy : i know it 's a mess , but it 's 'cause of that baby . kyle : what ? roxy : see , that 's why gigi and rex broke up . none of this would have happened if stacy was n't carrying rex 's baby . [ scene_break ] stacy : i do n't think kyle would tell rex about the baby . he wants to be a doctor . the last thing he needs is to be in the middle of another mess with me . kim : oh , yeah . he helped you pass the stem cells off as yours , right , when shane was sick . stacy : yeah , he also tried to blackmail jared and natalie . i do n't think rex would believe him even if he did say something . kim : then we 're fine . as long as kyle never finds out his boyfriend 's the daddy . [ scene_break ] viki : you know , nora , thank you , but you do n't have to hang around . i do n't want to ruin your whole evening . nora : are you trying to get rid of me ? viki : why would i do that ? nora : are you angry at me because i left clint ? [ scene_break ] clint : i 'd shoot the man outright , but it would be a shame for anybody to go to jail for killing mitch laurence . jessica : is this what you sit around and think about ? natalie : do n't you ? jessica : i think we need to find better things to focus on . clint : sweetheart , i 've been working on that . natalie : yeah . we were -- jessica : if you want to see bree -- clint : oh , yeah . jessica : because she was just learning how to ice skate , and she wants to show off . clint : well , bring her over . the sooner the better . the moat 's frozen , you know . we could sit around and watch bree skate rings around us , literally . ha ha ! what ? jessica : nothing . you just seem so much better than when we saw you at mom 's . clint : which time ? natalie : when you were spitting nails about bo and nora . clint : oh , yeah . jessica : we 're just worried about you , dad . clint : well , do n't you two waste a minute worrying about me . i 'm all right . in fact , i 'm planning on having fun again . natalie : really ? clint : oh . natalie : what were you planning on doing tonight ? jessica : natalie . natalie : what ? he said he was gon na wait up for kim . jessica : yeah , and you guys are working late . clint : uh , no . kim lives here now .

[ scene_break ] viki : you know , nora , your life is your business . nora : yeah , but you still think what i did to clint was pretty lousy . viki : yeah . it was pretty lousy . on the other hand , he was very well aware of the fact that you and bo were still very close . and he talked to me about it a whole bunch of times before your marriage . and if i 'm not mistaken , you were pretty close to stopping that wedding . nora : yeah , i just wish i 'd had the strength to do it . maybe clint would n't be so angry with me now and would n't be acting the way he 's behaving . i 'm very worried about him . viki : well , he 's gon na need time to lick his wounds , you know . nora : oh , he 's got somebody else to do that for him . viki : oh ? nora : oh , yeah . cute little pole dancer from las vegas young enough to be his daughter . viki : really ? nora : uh - huh . i got shoes older than her . viki : no , no , no . nora . i mean , are you sure that clint and -- who is she ? nora : kim . kim . kimmmmm . viki : are you sure that ... they 're together ? nora : oh , yeah . she moved into the mansion with him , moat and all .

[ scene_break ] bo : dolores , foothill division . call the number , take out a restraining order against laurence . rex : and you think that 'll work ? bo : no , but it does give you some legal coverage if you have to use deadly force against him . now , do you understand ? rex : yeah . you think i can get that past commissioner lowell ? bo : that 's why you bypass headquarters . this way , it will go directly to nora at the d.a .

[ scene_break ] stacy : what if schuyler wo n't help us ? kim : he does n't want gigi to hear the baby 's his . he 'll be happy to see you deliver early . stacy : yeah , but not if it 's gon na hurt the baby . kim : would you read this ? it 's a perfectly legitimate medical drug . okay ? and schuyler works in the hospital . he can get his hands on some and make sure the baby 's delivered safely . stacy : but not too soon . kim : okay , they said at the 8th month , the lungs are fully developed , so anytime after that we 're fine . in the last month , the baby just hangs out in there and gets fatter and gives you bigger stretch marks . look . look at the numbers . there 's zillions of babies that have come out like this . it 's fine . so unless you want to tell rex the truth ... stacy : okay . sounds -- kim : perfect . stacy : valentine 's day , i 'm gon na meet my new baby ... with rex . kim : you 're gon na get everything you want . maybe i will , too .

[ scene_break ] jack : it was all right there in front of me in a million different ways . i said something to you , did n't i , that something was off with adam ? everything was going his way , and still , he was unsettled . he was full of fear , like he was walking on quicksand . and victor -- that manipulative son of a -- he was holding what adam did over his head . that much is clear . all the while , we 're watching billy sink further and further into sorrow and misery and despair , and it was adam all along , adam who i loved like a son . hilary : you knew what it was like to have a wonderful father . you just wanted adam to know that , too . jack : he lied to me . hilary : it does n't mean he did n't love you back . jack : well , he loved chelsea . look what that 's done for her . so many people -- chloe -- in all her grief , agrees to be connor 's godmother . adam stood there watching her , knowing what he 'd done . poor chelsea , what she 's going through , this is her whole life now . life after adam . everyone knows he died a killer . when they see her , all they see is what he did . hilary : but it 's not her fault . jack : the world does n't care . it 's guilt by association . i 'm gon na get plenty of that myself . i can handle it . connor and chelsea should n't have to . hilary : you will put their lives back together for adam 's sake and for theirs . jack : i 've said this before -- i think you give me too much credit . hilary : only because i know what you did for me . and you loved adam . and so did chelsea . she needs you now just as much as i needed you when you were there for me .

[ scene_break ] stitch : so , when victoria invited us both to dinner , all that tension between you and billy ... kelly : that tension was you and me not wanting to be in the same room . stitch : uh , and all the whispers between you and billy ? kelly : oh , now you just sound paranoid . stitch : no . the way you just looked just now -- gazing at him through the window -- billy and his loving wife . kelly : how do you tend to your patients when you 're constantly watching me ? you have a life , right , stitch ? why do n't you do us both a favor and get back to it ? stitch : you ca n't blow me off , kelly . i know too much . we both know why .

[ scene_break ] sharon : you had every reason to say what you did before about me claiming territory over adam in the past . i really believed that i was the only person who really knew adam and that i was the only one who truly loved him , but , you know , maybe there were things and sides to adam that i did n't really know or i just truly did n't understand . chelsea : because he shows us what he wants us to see . sharon : well , i do n't know if that 's entirely true . i mean , with you and adam , um , he did n't have to do that . he did n't have to hide who he was . you opened your heart , you took him in , and he was happy . i could see that . chelsea : i thought so . i did . but now , i -- sharon : no , no , no , no . he was happy , and so were you . and nothing can change that . nothing could make that not true .

[ scene_break ] neil : leslie , you made your point by not showing up . so , we can either talk about it or not , but i 'm guessing that the wedding is n't happening . leslie : maybe it is n't . neil : okay . leslie : neil , okay . look at me . neil , i have a name that i was n't born with . my -- my life is completely new because my whole childhood , i thought marriage was something to suffer through or fight through just to survive . and up until a year ago , i damn well thought it killed my mother . neil : you and i are not gus and your mom . leslie : who are we ? a man who 's been married more than once and a woman who 's never wanted to . neil : yeah . you 're absolutely right about that , you know ? i married sofia for all the wrong reasons , and when i did marry for love , it was -- leslie : it broke your heart . that 's what i 'm saying . why is marriage the answer ? why is it the brass ring ? for insurance ? i have it . for medical decision making ? i 'm a lawyer . i have enough sense to leave a living will . you know , in the old days , marriage was just to determine chattel and property rights . neil : leslie , leslie , slow down a minute . what are you trying to tell me here ? that marriage does n't mean anything ? i mean , do you know how hard people fight just for that piece of paper ? marriage does mean something . leslie : to some people . neil : yeah , but not to you . you said `` yes `` when i proposed . you looked me dead in the eye and you smiled and you said `` yes . `` that was in the moment , was n't it ? and this is now . and what are we doing now ? we 're sitting in this park and we 're freezing our butts off because you failed to show up at a wedding- planning session . hey . it is n't about what marriage means politically or socially . you know what it means ? it means you do n't love me enough . leslie : stop telling me how i feel and listen to what i 'm saying . [ scene_break ] victor : well , i 'm surprised to find you here , sharon . adam 's death seems to have affected you a great deal . you always fixated on him , to the point of obsession . anyway , chelsea , you and the boy need some protection right now from the press and from outside people , all right ? and then connor 's medical needs need to be taken care of . sharon : are you hearing this ? suddenly he 's making it that you 're all a family ? chelsea , this was the thing that adam feared the most . you know that , right ? victor : chelsea , no one can take care of you and the boy as well as i can , all right ? so , why do n't you and the boy come with me and we drive out to the ranch and you 'll have some time to think about things ? and i 'll send a car to pick up your things . jack : you have lost your mind . there is no way in hell you 're going anywhere with that little boy .

[ scene_break ] jack : it was all right there in front of me in a million different ways . i said something to you , did n't i , that something was off with adam ? everything was going his way , and still , he was unsettled . he was full of fear , like he was walking on quicksand . and victor -- that manipulative son of a -- he was holding what adam did over his head . that much is clear . all the while , we 're watching billy sink further and further into sorrow and misery and despair , and it was adam all along , adam who i loved like a son . hilary : you knew what it was like to have a wonderful father . you just wanted adam to know that , too . jack : he lied to me . hilary : it does n't mean he did n't love you back . jack : well , he loved chelsea . look what that 's done for her . so many people -- chloe -- in all her grief , agrees to be connor 's godmother . adam stood there watching her , knowing what he 'd done . poor chelsea , what she 's going through , this is her whole life now . life after adam . everyone knows he died a killer . when they see her , all they see is what he did . hilary : but it 's not her fault . jack : the world does n't care . it 's guilt by association . i 'm gon na get plenty of that myself . i can handle it . connor and chelsea should n't have to . hilary : you will put their lives back together for adam 's sake and for theirs . jack : i 've said this before -- i think you give me too much credit . hilary : only because i know what you did for me . and you loved adam . and so did chelsea . she needs you now just as much as i needed you when you were there for me . [ scene_break ] sharon : chelsea , if you know something , if adam was not in that car -- chelsea : there was no body . they never found anything . and last night , i dozed off for a little bit , and when i woke up , i saw him . he was , like , there , you know ? i saw him . it was adam , and ... i know that sounds crazy , but ... sharon : you know , our minds -- they just want something so bad that it makes it seem real . like my daughter , cassie , the one who died . sometimes , i swear i feel like i could reach out and touch her , but it 's a lie . it 's a trick that our brains play on us , so we have to try to focus on what 's real , what we know . and adam , there 's no way that he could have survived that accident , chelsea . he 's gone . [ scene_break ] stitch : so , when victoria invited us both to dinner , all that tension between you and billy ... kelly : that tension was you and me not wanting to be in the same room . stitch : uh , and all the whispers between you and billy ? kelly : oh , now you just sound paranoid . stitch : no . the way you just looked just now -- gazing at him through the window -- billy and his loving wife . kelly : how do you tend to your patients when you 're constantly watching me ? you have a life , right , stitch ? why do n't you do us both a favor and get back to it ? stitch : you ca n't blow me off , kelly . i know too much . we both know why .

[ scene_break ] sharon : you had every reason to say what you did before about me claiming territory over adam in the past . i really believed that i was the only person who really knew adam and that i was the only one who truly loved him , but , you know , maybe there were things and sides to adam that i did n't really know or i just truly did n't understand . chelsea : because he shows us what he wants us to see . sharon : well , i do n't know if that 's entirely true . i mean , with you and adam , um , he did n't have to do that . he did n't have to hide who he was . you opened your heart , you took him in , and he was happy . i could see that . chelsea : i thought so . i did . but now , i -- sharon : no , no , no , no . he was happy , and so were you . and nothing can change that . nothing could make that not true .

lulu : i want to give you the benefit of the doubt , dillon . i want to believe that you have n't turned into your grandfather overnight . but thinking that taking me to court and forcing me to have this baby is any kind of reasonable solution is classic quartermaine . dillon : i 'm not trying to force you into anything . i just want you to want our baby , okay ? and maybe if you would stop fighting me all the time and just let yourself feel what 's going on inside of you , you 'll realize that you do .

[ scene_break ] lainey : you 're under enormous strain . we do n't want you to implode , so call me if you need to let off steam . alexis : i may just have to take you up on that , because at the moment , i 'm so scared that i may just snap and tell sam and ric that i know they slept together . uh -- do you have the paperwork ? sam : yeah . um -- just a signature . i 'm going to go get some water . alexis : do you think she heard ? lainey : would it really be so bad if she had ?

luis : well , for one , i 've been totally ignoring you and i feel bad about that , so i 'm going to stay here and make sure that you 're all right . beth : no , it 's ok . lu : : then i 'm going to start down in the basement . i 'm going to find out why those lights went out . you know , it might not be a blown fuse , it might actually be bad wiring . mrs. wallace : did you hear that , precious ? if luis goes back down to that basement , he is bound to find sheridan this time . sheridan : are those footsteps i hear ? is someone coming to help me ? luis ! singer : i would hold the hand of the one who could lead me places and kiss the lips of the one who could sing so sweet and i would fly on the wings of the bird i knew could take me highest breathe in , breathe out you keep me alive you are the fire burning inside of me you are my passion for life whitney : theresa , do n't open that door . theresa : well , honey , why not ?

theresa : well , there 'd be policemen . it 's -- chad : well , maybe they 're on their way . fox : you know what ? theresa , you know what , chad 's right . let 's just stay inside until we find out that everything 's safe out there . whitney : good . fox : i do n't know -- if you 're that desperate to find out what 's going on , i can call the building manager and see if he knows anything about it . theresa : ok . fox : ok ? whitney : yeah . fox : i mean , who knows ? who knows , maybe ethan 's flown 3,000 miles and he could be outside right now in some kind of terrible jearardy . theresa : whoa , that 's -- that 's not funny , fox . i mean , i could not stand it if ethan were in trouble . fox : theresa , it was a joke . i was just kidding around . you know i do n't want anything to happen to my half - brother . gwen : ow ! ethan : shh . hold on , hold on . hold on , it 's ok . gwen : oh -- paramedic : ok , what 's the problem ?

the lights went out because of a blown fuse and i replaced it , so everything 's working fine . luis : well , i 'd still just like to check out the box for myself . if there is any loose or exposed wire , there 's a possibility it could start a fire , ok ? beth : well , i would just feel better if you went home . i mean , i know you must be really exhausted . you could come back later and do , you know , a whole fire inspection then . luis : all right , listen , i 'm responsible for you and that baby , ok , and i 'm not leaving here until i 've checked out the basement . sheridan : hello ?

julian : ahem . i delivered the baby , and god forbid something is wrong with the infant . tabitha could get it into her head to sue me . i 'm merely trying to protect myself from potential legal action . huh ? ah . ah . say yes or i 'll tell rebecca everything . tabitha : all right , let 's go . but i 'm sure they 'll find that mother and baby are doing fine . rebecca : actually , i 've never seen a woman recover from childbirth so quickly , especially considering your age . tabitha : i 'm from strong stock , rebecca . thou shalt pay for this ! or , should i say , stocks ? rebecca : excuse me ? tabitha : never mind . let 's get this unnecessary hospital visit over with . kay : wait , where are u u going ? miguel : i 'm just going to talk to my mom for a little while . kay : ok . are you going to come back ? miguel : of course . kay : ok . grace : how you doing ? kay : how do you think i 'm doing ? my child could die , and my own mother still cares more about her niece than her daughter . grace : you know , kay , i was -- i was really hoping you could get past that kind of thinking . kay : how am i supposed to get papast that kind of thinking when you prove to me i 'm right over and over again ? why do n't you just go find charity now , huh ? make a fuss over her . grace : you know , kay , you have really got to stop blaming charity for everything that goes wrong in your life . eve told you that miguel was asked to leave nicu . it was n't his or charity 's fault that he was n't there when the baby coded . kay : all i know is miguel should be with me and his daughter right now , and the only thing charity does is pull his focus away from us . grace : he loves her . kay : no . he loves our baby . and the three of us are going to be a family now , mom . and you and charity and everyone else are just going to have to get used to that . pilar : so you lied to kay about her commitment . miguel : dr. russell said that i should tell her whatever i had to to get her to relax and get well . but now i feel like i 've been disloyal to charity . pilar : do n't feel that way . do n't feel guilty . miguel : i misled kay about my feelings for her . but not about the baby . i love her so much , mama . i 'd do anything to protect her . pilar : i know , and that 's exactly what you 're doing by telling kay that you want to be a family with her and the baby . mijo , you 're helping her get better so that she can be a mother to your child . miguel : yeah , well , i just hope that my love for my little girl does n't cost me my future with charity . charity : i ca n't do this to myself . miguel told me that he loves me no matter what and that he 'll stay with me . charity : that 's strange . why do i feel as if somebody wants to hurt me ? someone or something . mrs. wallace : this is it , precious . we are going to the slammer when luis finds sheridan down in that pit . beth : but even if you did find some loose wires , how are you going to fix them ? luis : well , you must have some electrical tape . beth : no , we do n't , actually . and if we did , i would n't know where to find it . luis : all right , no problem . i 'll just go back to my house , i 'll pick up my toolbox , and i 'll be back in , like , 15 minutes , all right ? beth : ok , but ju - -- can we do it later ? i really want to take my mother for a walk in the park . luis : all right , well , no problem . go ahead . i 'll have precious let me in , all right ? beth : dear god . now what am i going to do ? mrs. wallace : ow ! beth : what on earth ? get up , you guys ! you got to help me find my clown mask so i can go downstairs before luis gets back and finds sheridan ! get up , get up ! our luggage . whitney : do n't open that door . not yet , anyway , theresa . just let fox find out what the trouble is first , ok ? theresa : well , i just hope that nobody is in trouble . ethan : i can ride with her in the ambulance , right ? paramedic : no problem . what about the bags ? ethan : oh . no one 's going to take them . if someone does , it does n't matter because my baby and my wife are more important than any luggage . gwen : oh , sweetheart , thank you . i -- i just want our baby to -- ethan : do n't worry . do n't worry about it , ok ? we 're going to be at the hospital soon , dr . abel 's going to examine you , and everything is going to be all right , ok ? gwen : ok . ok . ok . paramedic : all right , let 's go . fox : well , apparently some guy from the complex called , and the girl he was with collapsed so -- theresa : oh . well , maybe -- maybe we should help . whitney : we must have just missed them . theresa : well , i really hope that woman is ok . whoa . this is kind of funny . this looks like ethan 's luggage . whitney : theresa , omome on . theresa : i was right ! ethan was here ! i 've got to go to him . charity : what was that ? just feeling guilty about leaving miguel and kay and the baby . i just better go back . [ charity gasps ] charity : who are you ? where did you come from ? kay : hoisis she ? how 's our baby ? miguel : what 's wrong with her , dr . andrews ? dr. andrews : well , i can give you my opinion in what you call medicalese , but i understand that dr . russell 's a family friend . eve : yes , well , let me see if i can put this in lay terms . your little girl is just very -- she 's weak . she 's very fragile , which is to be expected from a baby that was born as prematurely as yours -- kay : dr. russell , please , cut to the chase . is she going to live ? eve : it 's too soon for me to give you that kind of guarantee , kay . but she 's stable right now . miguel : well , thank god for that . eve : absolutely . of course , i do have to warn you that even that could be temporary . her condition is likely to just go up and down . kay : you 're trying to prepare us for the worst , ene n't you ? eve : no , honey , not at all . kay : yes , you are . you do n't want it to come as a complete shock if she dies . eve : well , i can guarantee you this -- that your baby is getting the very best of care . kay : she ca n't die , miguel . we ca n't let our baby die . nurse : excuse me . i 'm sorry to bother you at such a stressful time , but admissions needs the baby 's father to fill out some insurance forms . miguel : whatever you need . nurse : as long as i 've worked in nicu , i 'll never understand why some parents have perfectly normal , full - term babies born to them , while others just seem to have the worst luck . second nurse : hmm . likehahat preemie in there . first nurse : mm - hmm . second nurse : it 'll be a miracle if she survives . meanwhile , that old lady 's baby -- you know , tabitha lenox ? first nurse : mm - hmm . second nurse : her kid is healthy as a horse , even though she was delivered by two people who did n't know what they were doing . first nurse : go figure . kay : tabitha had her baby . that means she 's here . maybe she can help me save my baby . beth : where the hell is my damn mask ? i ftft it right here ! mrs. wallace : ah , that clown act is n't going to be doing you any good now . no , you screwed up just like you 've screwed up everything you 've ever tried in your life ! beth : not now , mother . not ever again . what the hell ? precious , give me that mask ! this is n't a game ! beth : oh , damn it ! all right , i 'm just going to have to wear charlie 's mask . i hope the voice distorter works . mrs. wallace : yeah , i hope it does , too . otherwise , sheridan 's going to be able to identify you as the kidnapper when luis rescues her from down in that pit . beth : shut up . just shut up , ok , and make yourself useful . go get the mask off of precious before luis comes over and sees her wearing it i 'll be downstairs . mrs. wallace : whoa , whoa -- doing what ? be : what do you think ? i got to cover the pit before luis goes downstairs . mrs. wallace : no , no , it 'll never work ! no , you will never be able to keep luis from finding the woman that he loves ! sheridan : help . help ! whoever you are , please -- please , help me get out of here ! i 'm pregnant ! i 'm worried about my baby ! beth : [ distorted voice ] yeah , like i care ? sheridan : no , not you . beth : well , who 'd you think it 'd be ? some knight in shining armor on a white horse ? that 's a good one . sheridan : please -- please , do n't do this to me . look , i already recorded your fake message saying that i was in paris . beth : yeah , and you only did that for yourself and the brat that you 're carrying . now , shut up . i got to get some work done . sheridan : what work ? why are you doing this to me ? what have i done to you ? beth : i said shut them all up , sheridan crane . you 're not the golden girl that gets everything she wants anymore . one more word out of you , and no more food or prenatal vitamins . you and your unborn baby will starve to death . do you understand ? asasked you a question ! sheridan : i 'll be quiet . just let my baby live .

fox : actually , i got a couple ideas about ethan , but i 'm not talking about him right now . i think maybe we should go down to the pool , ok , and we can decide what we 're going to do tonight while we 're taking a swim . what do you say ?

kay : yeah . but your little girl is healthy , tabitha , and mine is hanging on by a thread . you 're a witch . i mean , surely there 's something you can do to help save my baby 's life . tabitha : would that i could , dear , but i 'm afraid you 're calling on the wrong team . kay : the wrong team ? tabitha : you know i work for the dark side , dear . our speciality is mayhem , chaos , and total destruction of everything pure and innocent . i simply do n't possess the powers to help your newborn . this is a case for them up there . mrs. wallace : luis ! luis : yes , mrs . wallace ?

chad : do you really want to know the answer to that ? theresa : of course not . that 's ok . i give up . i 'll jus -- yeah , i 'll sit . ethan : how do you feel ? how do you feel ? gwen : oh , not too bad . ethan : ok . you 're going to be ok . i promise . gwen 's voice : i came all the way out to california to get away from theresa , and now i 'm going to lose my baby anyway . and then , ethan . julian : please just let it go . we 've already established that what we saw at tabitha 's was only a vision . rebecca : well , how come we both had it , then ? julian : well , i 'm not an expert on e.s.p . , but i 'm sure it happens . i mean , there was no smoke , there was no fire , there was no demon baby with a tail . it was in our imagination . rebecca : if you say so . kay : tabitha , after all of the evil choices that i have made , god 's not going to help me now . tabitha : you better hope you 're wrong , dear . because if you do n't make a deal with the good side , your baby 's going to die . charity : you were n't sitting here a minute ago . where did you come from ? what is that blue light coming from you ? let go of me ! charity : miguel 's baby -- is she going to die ? eve : hand me that ambu bag . doctor : i 'm going to push more fluids . nurse , i need another 250 . cutting it close . mrs. wallace : gee , mistake number , what , 962 ? i do n't care what you did to try and hide that pit , but there 's no way luis is not going to discover sheridan now . beth : uh - uh . not true . i told sheridan not to open her big mouth or i would finish off her and the baby . mrs. wallace : so she does n't scream . so what ?

luis : well , for one , i 've been totally ignoring you and i feel bad about that , so i 'm going to stay here and make sure that you 're all right . beth : no , it 's ok . lu : : then i 'm going to start down in the basement . i 'm going to find out why those lights went out . you know , it might not be a blown fuse , it might actually be bad wiring . mrs. wallace : did you hear that , precious ?

the lights went out because of a blown fuse and i replaced it , so everything 's working fine . luis : well , i 'd still just like to check out the box for myself . if there is any loose or exposed wire , there 's a possibility it could start a fire , ok ? beth : well , i would just feel better if you went home . i mean , i know you must be really exhausted . you could come back later and do , you know , a whole fire inspection then . luis : all right , listen , i 'm responsible for you and that baby , ok , and i 'm not leaving here until i 've checked out the basement . sheridan : hello ?

why do n't you just go find charity now , huh ? make a fuss over her . grace : you know , kay , you have really got to stop blaming charity for everything that goes wrong in your life . eve told you that miguel was asked to leave nicu . it was n't his or charity 's fault that he was n't there when the baby coded . kay : all i know is miguel should be with me and his daughter right now , and the only thing charity does is pull his focus away from us . grace : he loves her . kay : no . he loves our baby . and the three of us are going to be a family now , mom . and you and charity and everyone else are just going to have to get used to that . pilar : so you lied to kay about her commitment . miguel : dr. russell said that i should tell her whatever i had to to get her to relax and get well . but now i feel like i 've been disloyal to charity . pilar : do n't feel that way . do n't feel guilty . miguel : i misled kay about my feelings for her . but not about the baby . i love her so much , mama . i 'd do anything to protect her . pilar : i know , and that 's exactly what you 're doing by telling kay that you want to be a family with her and the baby . mijo , you 're helping her get better so that she can be a mother to your child . miguel : yeah , well , i just hope that my love for my little girl does n't cost me my future with charity . charity : i ca n't do this to myself . miguel told me that he loves me no matter what and that he 'll stay with me . charity : that 's strange . why do i feel as if somebody wants to hurt me ? someone or something . mrs. wallace : this is it , precious . we are going to the slammer when luis finds sheridan down in that pit . beth : but even if you did find some loose wires , how are you going to fix them ? luis : well , you must have some electrical tape . beth : no , we do n't , actually . and if we did , i would n't know where to find it . luis : all right , no problem . i 'll just go back to my house , i 'll pick up my toolbox , and i 'll be back in , like , 15 minutes , all right ? beth : ok , but ju - -- can we do it later ? i really want to take my mother for a walk in the park . luis : all right , well , no problem . go ahead . i 'll have precious let me in , all right ? beth : dear god . now what am i going to do ? mrs. wallace : ow ! beth : what on earth ? get up , you guys ! you got to help me find my clown mask so i can go downstairs before luis gets back and finds sheridan ! get up , get up ! our luggage . whitney : do n't open that door . not yet , anyway , theresa . just let fox find out what the trouble is first , ok ? theresa : well , i just hope that nobody is in trouble . ethan : i can ride with her in the ambulance , right ? paramedic : no problem . what about the bags ? ethan : oh . no one 's going to take them . if someone does , it does n't matter because my baby and my wife are more important than any luggage . gwen : oh , sweetheart , thank you . i -- i just want our baby to -- ethan : do n't worry . do n't worry about it , ok ? we 're going to be at the hospital soon , dr . abel 's going to examine you , and everything is going to be all right , ok ? gwen : ok . ok . ok . paramedic : all right , let 's go . fox : well , apparently some guy from the complex called , and the girl he was with collapsed so -- theresa : oh . well , maybe -- maybe we should help . whitney : we must have just missed them . theresa : well , i really hope that woman is ok . whoa . this is kind of funny . this looks like ethan 's luggage . whitney : theresa , omome on . theresa : i was right ! ethan was here ! i 've got to go to him . charity : what was that ? just feeling guilty about leaving miguel and kay and the baby . i just better go back . [ charity gasps ] charity : who are you ? where did you come from ? kay : hoisis she ? how 's our baby ? miguel : what 's wrong with her , dr . andrews ? dr. andrews : well , i can give you my opinion in what you call medicalese , but i understand that dr . russell 's a family friend . eve : yes , well , let me see if i can put this in lay terms . your little girl is just very -- she 's weak . she 's very fragile , which is to be expected from a baby that was born as prematurely as yours -- kay : dr. russell , please , cut to the chase . is she going to live ? eve : it 's too soon for me to give you that kind of guarantee , kay . but she 's stable right now . miguel : well , thank god for that . eve : absolutely . of course , i do have to warn you that even that could be temporary . her condition is likely to just go up and down . kay : you 're trying to prepare us for the worst , ene n't you ? eve : no , honey , not at all . kay : yes , you are . you do n't want it to come as a complete shock if she dies . eve : well , i can guarantee you this -- that your baby is getting the very best of care . kay : she ca n't die , miguel . we ca n't let our baby die . nurse : excuse me . i 'm sorry to bother you at such a stressful time , but admissions needs the baby 's father to fill out some insurance forms . miguel : whatever you need . nurse : as long as i 've worked in nicu , i 'll never understand why some parents have perfectly normal , full - term babies born to them , while others just seem to have the worst luck . second nurse : hmm . likehahat preemie in there . first nurse : mm - hmm . second nurse : it 'll be a miracle if she survives . meanwhile , that old lady 's baby -- you know , tabitha lenox ? first nurse : mm - hmm . second nurse : her kid is healthy as a horse , even though she was delivered by two people who did n't know what they were doing . first nurse : go figure . kay : tabitha had her baby . that means she 's here . maybe she can help me save my baby . beth : where the hell is my damn mask ? i ftft it right here ! mrs. wallace : ah , that clown act is n't going to be doing you any good now . no , you screwed up just like you 've screwed up everything you 've ever tried in your life ! beth : not now , mother . not ever again . what the hell ? precious , give me that mask ! this is n't a game ! beth : oh , damn it ! all right , i 'm just going to have to wear charlie 's mask . i hope the voice distorter works . mrs. wallace : yeah , i hope it does , too . otherwise , sheridan 's going to be able to identify you as the kidnapper when luis rescues her from down in that pit . beth : shut up . just shut up , ok , and make yourself useful . go get the mask off of precious before luis comes over and sees her wearing it i 'll be downstairs . mrs. wallace : whoa , whoa -- doing what ? be : what do you think ? i got to cover the pit before luis goes downstairs . mrs. wallace : no , no , it 'll never work ! no , you will never be able to keep luis from finding the woman that he loves ! sheridan : help . help ! whoever you are , please -- please , help me get out of here ! i 'm pregnant ! i 'm worried about my baby ! beth : [ distorted voice ] yeah , like i care ? sheridan : no , not you . beth : well , who 'd you think it 'd be ? some knight in shining armor on a white horse ? that 's a good one . sheridan : please -- please , do n't do this to me . look , i already recorded your fake message saying that i was in paris . beth : yeah , and you only did that for yourself and the brat that you 're carrying . now , shut up . i got to get some work done . sheridan : what work ? why are you doing this to me ? what have i done to you ? beth : i said shut them all up , sheridan crane . you 're not the golden girl that gets everything she wants anymore . one more word out of you , and no more food or prenatal vitamins . you and your unborn baby will starve to death . do you understand ? asasked you a question ! sheridan : i 'll be quiet . just let my baby live .

[ chuckles ] uh , look , as far back as i can remember , i have felt distance from her , like she always wanted to be someplace else . and even when she told me she loved me ... it was like she was holding something back . if i did n't have my dad , honestly , i do n't know where i would be . and after he was gone , things with my mom got worse . we , uh ... really had it out over ben and what he did . look , i just do n't want you to get stuck in the middle of all of that . jack : listen . i have handled a lot of negotiations over the years , usually to pretty good effect . i may be the best thing that happened between you and your mom . you 're not alone . you have someone beside you now . let me help . maureen : she helped me see that i was strong enough to face my demons . so i took a good look at myself , and i had to agree . [ chuckles ] stitch : of course you 're strong enough , mom . who 's stronger than you ? maureen : well , i just need some reminding occasionally , you know ? that -- that i can be a supportive mother to my son who 's under siege . and so i 'm staying , okay ? and that is the last word on the topic . stitch : yes , ma'am . maureen : okay , now , our first order of business is this baby situation . you 've got to get a dna test . you do not want to get hit with a paternity suit , particularly if you may not be the father . stitch : look , victoria 's not gon na sue me . that 's not who she is . maureen : that 's -- that 's who it is ? victoria ? stitch : victoria newman . maureen : is she -- is she related to victor and nikki newman ? their names are just in all the papers . stitch : she 's their daughter .

lauren : well , michael should have called by now to say that paul was on his way . victor : oh . well , why do n't you call yourself and find out what 's happening ? lauren : i 'm almost afraid to . victor : why would you be afraid ? christine : you know , maybe paul will want to skip dinner . he 's been so wrapped up finding ian ward , i -- victor : well , to be honest with you , i hope he keeps on being wrapped up in trying to find ian ward . he is a bad man . christine : and i agree with you . i just do n't want him to take any unnecessary risks . victor : i would n't worry if i were you . he 'll be here . he cares for you very much . christine : i appreciate that , but he was n't too excited about my throwing this whole party in the first place . victor : christine , trust me on this . a man will do anything for the family he loves -- anything . phyllis : [ babbling ] [ babbling continues ] noah : you see that ?

that the more time she spends with mariah the closer she 's gon na get ? summer : mariah is your blood . i 'm not . okay , not only is she related to you and faith , she is cassie 's twin . noah : so what ? summer : so it 's like cassie 's come back to life . the -- the little girl that died before her time -- she 's back . and i - i ca n't compete with that . noah : not back , okay ? and it 's only a competition if you make it one . summer : noah , i 'm -- i 'm just really confused . it 's been over a year since i found out that i 'm not nick 's biological daughter , and ... i love jack . i love him so much , and i 'm handling the situation , but ... honestly , i do n't know if i 'll ever be able to really accept it . stitch : why would you say that about victoria not being that into me ? maureen : well , there 's obviously another man in the picture if the child 's paternity is in question . stitch : still , she said if the baby is mine , then she still wants me to be a part of his or her life . maureen : yeah , i - i - i can see how that -- how much that would mean to you , given ... stitch : that jenna left me and took max with her ?

[ chuckles ] surprise . sharon : we were so innocent back then . remember ? we felt invincible , like nothing bad could ever happen to us . nick : if we knew then what we know now , huh ? sharon : would you ... change anything or doing anything different if you could ? nick : absolutely . but there are also a lot of things i would n't change for the world . sharon : like what ? nick : like ... buying this place , going into business with you , starting our lives together . sharon : i was so excited when you told me that this place was ours . nick : baby , i just wanted to sit down with you and , uh , have a drink and to make a toast . sharon : to what ? nick : to ... this place . to our place . sharon : our place ? nick : yes ! our place . sharon , we got it . crimson lights belongs to us . nick : we had everything going for us . we had just tracked down cassie . i had finally popped the question . sharon : oh , uh , what question was that ? nick : oh , that would be the question that you have been avoiding for the past few months . sharon : [ chuckles ] well , you know , it made sense for me to say `` yes `` to you back then . you were the hottest hottie that ever hottied . [ both laugh ] nick : i was pretty irresistible . nick : nothing will ever change the way i feel about you , do you hear me ? nothing . look , what i 'm trying to do ... is -- i mean , what i 'm trying to say ... is that i wanted to ask you ... sharon : ask me what ? nick : to marry me . will you ? will you marry me , sharon ? nick : it made sense for you to marry me back then . and it makes sense now . sharon : are you saying what i think you 're saying ? nick : we 've made a lot of memories , good and bad . and now ... it 's time to make some new ones . noah : well , you probably wo n't hear a peep out of her for the next couple hours . she just loves that movie . summer : yeah . she loves everything and everyone . [ sighs ] i wish i could be more like that . noah : [ chuckles ] summer : i just get a little overprotective when i feel like someone 's trying to horn in on my territory . noah : mariah ? summer : yeah , and kelly . i did not take it well when i found out that she moved in with jack . noah : that 's -- that 's a big statement , you know ? he 's basically proclaiming to the world that he 's given up on your mom . summer : i know . that 's exactly how i felt about it . but the more that i think about it , i - i do n't know . i finally realized that it 's wrong for me to expect jack to give up his whole life waiting for something that may never happen . i like kelly . kelly is -- she 's nice , and maybe she 's good for jack , you know ? he 's so happy when he 's with her . [ chuckling ] so why ca n't i just accept her ? why ca n't i just trust ? noah : because you 've had a lot taken away from you . but look what happened when you opened up your heart to austin . it 's not so bad to let people in . summer : maybe you 're right . i think i know where to start . stitch : sorry if i caught you off - guard . i thought ashley would have told you . she hired me as her new chemist . jack : no , my sister neglected to tell me that particular item of news . mason : a - are you unsure whether ben can do the job , because i assure you -- jack : oh , no , no , no , no . that wo n't be necessary . if my sister decided your son is the best candidate for the job , i absolutely agree . though jabot will be overseeing that project , which means i 'll be overseeing you . stitch : i can handle that . maureen : jabot ? kelly : uh , jack 's family owns it . it 's a clothing and cosmetics company . maureen : i - i - i recognize the name . [ chuckles ] i have some of the products . kelly : yes , you and half the western world . jack : your daughter exaggerates a bit . maureen : well , she 's found a very clever man to be with . she 's quite fortunate . jack : no , i am the fortunate one ... to have kelly in my life . christine : you 're not mad at me , are you ? paul : for making a bigger deal out of this than i wanted ? christine : i guess that answers my question . paul : no , this answers your question . [ smooches ] christine : oh , good . [ chuckles ] paul : thank you . [ smooches ] christine : you 're welcome . paul : so , what did you have to promise these people to get them all to show up ? lauren : well , believe it or not , we all wanted to be here . victor : we are very proud to be part of this . nikki : yes , very . paul : well , i do n't know why you would be . i was their second choice for the award . you know , the reigning miss cheesehead turned it down . [ laughter ] dylan : they could n't have picked a better man to honor . we 're just glad you 're around to accept it . paul : so am i . and , you know , a guy could n't ask for a better set of friends . thank you . lauren : oh , well , look who showed up . where have you been ? michael : oh , it 's a long story . but i need to steal away the man of the hour for just a moment . paul : oh , what did i do ? christine : come back . michael : all right . no , just business . paul : yeah , what 's going on ? michael : well , this is n't about you . it 's about dylan and , um ... where he was spotted around the time ian disappeared . kelly : well , now that you 've met my mother , you sure you want to live with me ? jack : oh , it seemed like she was trying . kelly : oh , yeah . trying to make a good impression on you . hey , those were n't there before . are these from you ? jack : afraid not . kelly : that 's my name . `` welcome home . love , summer . `` jack : wow . kelly : wow . i wonder what brought about her change of heart . jack : i have no idea . but i 'm sure glad it happened . kelly : yeah , me , too . i guess you really just never know about some people , huh ? jack : i 'm sure about you . and that 's enough for me . victor : sweetheart , would you like a refill ? nikki : oh , no . i 'm fine . you know , i have to use the powder room for a minute . i 'll be right back . [ smooches ] victor : okay . christine : so , if i could have your attention , we have champagne and sparkling cider . if you 'd grab a glass , i 'm gon na make a toast . paul : dylan , hold up . dylan : i was just gon na grab a drink . paul : yeah , i 'm afraid you ca n't do that . dylan : why not ? paul : i 'm taking you to the station for questioning . dylan : questioning about what ? paul : the disappearance of ian ward . nikki : it 's good to see you . maureen : what a coincidence . i 'm maureen , remember ? it 's nice to see you , sherry . nikki : um ... victor : why did she call you sherry ? nick : now , i ca n't promise you that life is gon na be as sweet as when we were king and queen at our school dance or when we were making those newfangled lattes . we both know there 's always trouble around the corner . and the last time it hit , i choked . i bailed . but i can promise you that that is not gon na happen again . because i love you . you know how they say , in sports , it 's not about the name on the back that matters , it 's about the name on the front . i think i finally learned what that means . you and i are a team . and , yeah , we might get traded from time to time . but we always end up in the same place again . and that 's got to count for something . we were meant to be together . so , what do you say , sharon ? you want to do this ? let 's make it real . let 's make it forever . so , sharon collins newman , will you be on my team again ? sharon : [ chuckles ] yes . phyllis : no ! [ next_on ] lauren : are you going to realize that we have a problem here ? victor : you two getting married or what ? paul : we have an eyewitness that saw you near the track around the same time ian went missing . abby : [ screams ] [ dramatic music ] | paul gets confirmation from tests that the blood found on victor and nikki 's driveway belongs to ian ward . jeffrey tells michael that he saw dylan at the racetrack which is the same place where they found ian ward 's car . michael goes to tell paul the information which ends paul 's celebration of his good citizen award , because he has to take dylan to the police station to be questioned . maureen dampens nikki 's mood when she goes over to her table at the party and calls her sherry , which leaves victor confused about why a stranger is calling nikki by another name . | <s>[INST] sharon : wow . i think we bought the whole store . faith : but it all fits in my new backpack . sharon : an elephant would fit in your new backpack . and then there 'd still be room for you . faith : [ chuckles ] nick : all right , all right . my girls are back . faith : hi , daddy . nick : hey . faith : want to see all the new pencils i got for school ? nick : oh , you know what ? later , kiddo . right now , your mommy and i have to go somewhere . sharon : we do ? nick : yeah . we do . so put the bags down , and let 's get out of here . sharon : uh ... well , wait . what about faith ? we ca n't just leave her here by herself . noah : babysitter , present and accounted for . sharon : okay . what 's going on ? nick : well , let 's see . we 're gon na need this thing . sharon : are you serious ? nick : oh , yeah . i do n't mess around when it comes to blindfolds . just , uh ... go with me on it . avery : now that was a challenge . dylan : what was ? avery : i had to go to three stores to find what i was looking for . you know they have cards for congratulations on your new job and on your new house , but they do n't have anything quite right for distinguished citizen 's award . so i got a blank card . dylan : that 's a good idea . avery : uh - huh . and i thought we could both sign it and , uh , give him this gift . dylan : uh , what -- what did you get him ? avery : i got him a gift card from here . dylan : [ chuckles ] avery : well , i thought that he would really appreciate the opportunity to spend more time with you . dylan : [ sighs ] i 'm sure he will . avery : yeah . so , if i could just have your autograph , please . dylan : actually , i , uh -- i got him something already . made him something , to be , uh , technical . avery : oh . they 're beautiful . what -- what are they ? dylan : they 're , uh , fishing lures . it 's the first time i 've made any , but i 'm sure paul will like them . avery : i think he 'll love them . aww . anyone ever tell you you are incredibly talented with your hands ? dylan : yeah . you . last night . avery : mm , yes . it 's a very thoughtful gift for paul . you really did go the extra mile on these . does that mean you 're feeling better about your relationship with him ? dylan : you mean am i ready to go all - in on this father / son thing ? avery : well , you did seem more open to it after your talk with christine . [ cell phone rings ] avery : unless you were lying . hold on one second . avery bailey clark . yes , your honor . thank you for calling me back . mm - hmm . lauren : all right . what do you think ? these okay ? are they too small ? should they be bigger ? christine : no , no , no . considering he did n't want a celebration , i think we should keep it very low - key . lauren : yeah , i guess it 'll be jarring enough when he walks in and sees all of his friends . christine : well , how could i not invite everyone who has supported him these past few months ? they should share in his ups as well as his downs . lauren : mm - hmm . and you remember to tell him that when he walks in here . [ laughs ] christine : oh , he 's gon na be okay as soon as the shock wears off . lauren : if you say so . christine : well , you 'll see . this is gon na be a nice surprise . paul : look , i do n't care what the delay is . you get back on the phone with forensics and tell them i need that report a.s.a.p . michael : hey . what 's going on ? paul : uh , we found blood on victor and nikki 's driveway . michael : you think it 's connected with the ian ward case ? paul : in all likelihood . i 'm waiting on dna results . michael : oh . how much longer is that gon na take ? paul : i do n't know . they say they 're backlogged . michael : well , i thought you were having dinner with christine tonight . paul : how did you know about that ? michael : well , christine told lauren by way of bragging about her husband 's distinguished citizen 's award . paul : oh , god . well , if i do n't get blood analysis soon , i 'm gon na have to call chris and cancel . kelly : hey , jack . i did n't expect you home so soon . jack : hey . where are you off to and how do i convince you not to go ? kelly : i would love to stay , but i am going to meet my mother . jack : your mother ? kelly : yes . she is in town , and i 'm going to have coffee with her . jack : i had no idea your mother was in town . kelly : i should have told you , but she showed up out of the blue . i think i 'm still in shock , trying to process it myself . jack : well , i 'd love to meet your mom . why do n't i go with you ? kelly : oh , god , no . stitch : wow . kelly did you right . this is a lot better than the couch i would have offered you . maureen : [ scoffs ] providing me with a nice room is not the same thing as `` all is forgiven . `` you saw the way she treated me . stitch : you both were pretty tense . maureen : did you see the way she looked at me ? i mean , i was kind of hoping that she 'd have softened a little bit , you know , left me maybe the slightest opening . i do n't know . i never -- i never could connect with her . kelly 's always been daddy 's little girl . she still is , even though he 's long gone . stitch : look , i - i know you came to genoa city because you were worried about me . and , yes , it 's been rough having my past exposed and everything , but i 'm handling it . there 's no reason for you to worry . maureen : trying to get rid of me ? stitch : i do n't want you to feel obligated to stick around , putting yourself in a position to get hurt . that 's all . maureen : well , i - i did almost turn around and go home . [ chuckles ] stitch : so , what stopped you ? maureen : i - i got some very good advice from a very nice lady . victor : hi , baby . nikki : what are you doing here ? victor : what do you mean what am i doing here ? i came to take you to paul 's party . why are n't you ready ? nikki : oh , i do n't think we should go . victor : what 's this about ? why do n't you want to go to the party ? nikki : after the way you treated paul yesterday , i do n't think it 's a good idea . victor : sweetheart , if our chief of police did his job finding ian ward instead of trampling all over our property , i would n't be upset . nikki : for heaven 's sake , he was n't trampling all over our property . he was conducting an investigation to catch a man that you want caught just as badly as he does . victor : you 're damn right i want him caught , okay ? as long as that man is at large , you 're gon na be in jeopardy . he will not come near you again . nikki : i wish that made me feel better . victor : [ sighs ] what will make you feel better ? nikki : maybe if you did n't keep going on all those business trips and stayed home with me , then maybe i would n't -- victor : you would n't be afraid ? you would n't be afraid ? [ smooches ] oh , baby . nikki : right . that 's right . i - i 've needed you . victor : there are too many things on my mind . i do too many things . but i will be by your side from now on , okay ? also at paul 's party , and i wo n't have an argument with him . nikki : you might not argue with paul , but i ca n't guarantee anything with christine . that woman uses every opportunity she can to criticize me . victor : oh , for heaven 's sake , sweetheart , she 's not gon na do that . she 's the one who sent you the invitation . i 'm sure that she 's not gon na criticize you . nikki : [ sighs ] victor : if for only one reason -- not to upset paul . nikki : you are really determined to go to this , are n't you ? victor : baby , i think it would be good for us to both get out of here , surrounded by other people , okay ? [ smooches ] come here . lauren : here you go . christine : ah . just what i needed . thank you . cheers . lauren : so , michael is probably at the station by now , and he will get paul here on time . i promise you . christine : well , it wo n't be easy . paul 's been working so hard lately . lauren : how 's he feeling ? christine : uh , good . his doctor said that he can resume all normal activities . lauren : that 's wonderful . you must be so relieved . christine : sometimes i feel paul is n't the only one who got a new lease on life . lauren : so , are you two moving ahead on your plans to have a baby ? christine : mm , no . not yet . i mean , even though he 's recovered , he 's got so much on his plate . i - i do n't want to pressure him . what about you and michael ? i - i know how sorry you were when you found out you were n't pregnant . lauren : oh . well . that 's definitely not happening . christine : well , is everything okay with the two of you ? lauren : oh , yeah . [ chuckles ] yeah . we 're fine . michael : paul , you 're kidding me . you 're actually gon na cancel dinner plans because you 're waiting for a phone call ? paul : well , yeah . it could be crucial to the case . michael : we have these things called cell phones -- no plugs , no wires . you can actually take them anywhere you go , like to the club to meet your wife who will be terribly upset if you do n't show . paul : she 'll understand . [ computer pings ] paul : report from forensics . michael : what 's it say ? wait , are you still gon na make dinner ? paul : okay , attention , everyone . i just got a report from forensics on the evidence found in the newman driveway . the blood is ian ward 's . it 's a 99 % match . no cross contamination and no traces of blood from any third party . jeffrey : michael . i was looking for kevin , but you 'll do . of all the things that could go wrong , i got a parking ticket . michael : shh . jeffrey , not right now . paul : ... found belonging to ward in a nearby dumpster . now , hendricks and manning , i need to get your units out there canvassing the area right now . michael : wait , paul . where are you going ? paul : i 'm gon na do my job . michael : oh -- great . fine . that went well . jeffrey : you think you got problems . man , you ai n't heard nothing yet . avery : i assure you it wo n't be a problem . very good . thank you . bye - bye . dylan : well , if you need to take care of that right now -- avery : no . i handled it . i would like to finish our conversation about paul . dylan : uh ... well , there 's really nothing to say . i - i 'm not lying about my feelings . avery : okay , so , this gift and going to his party tonight -- it really is a step towards accepting him as family ? dylan : i 'll put it this way . uh , i may not be ready to be his son , but that does n't mean i ca n't be his friend . avery : okay . well , you seem more settled about everything and less angry . dylan : we better get to dinner . avery : no , we have time . dylan : uh , no . we do n't . something very important is about to happen in that room , and i promised i would n't be here . come on . avery : why is it decorated like that ? dylan : here . let 's go . do n't worry about it . avery : do n't worry about it ? dylan : yeah , i 'll tell you later . sharon : [ chuckles ] where are you taking me ? nick : well , i do n't have a delorean , but we are going to go back ... in time . sharon : [ gasps ] oh , my god . nick : look familiar ? sharon : our college dance freshman year . [ chuckles ] but why ? what 's going on ? nick : it will all be revealed soon . sharon : [ laughs ] kelly : jack , i 'm so sorry . that came out the wrong way completely . of course i would love for you to meet my mom . just ... maybe now 's not the best time . jack : i know you and your mother have n't always gotten along . kelly : that 's a really nice way of putting it . [ chuckles ] uh , look , as far back as i can remember , i have felt distance from her , like she always wanted to be someplace else . and even when she told me she loved me ... it was like she was holding something back . if i did n't have my dad , honestly , i do n't know where i would be . and after he was gone , things with my mom got worse . we , uh ... really had it out over ben and what he did . look , i just do n't want you to get stuck in the middle of all of that . jack : listen . i have handled a lot of negotiations over the years , usually to pretty good effect . i may be the best thing that happened between you and your mom . you 're not alone . you have someone beside you now . let me help . maureen : she helped me see that i was strong enough to face my demons . so i took a good look at myself , and i had to agree . [ chuckles ] stitch : of course you 're strong enough , mom . who 's stronger than you ? maureen : well , i just need some reminding occasionally , you know ? that -- that i can be a supportive mother to my son who 's under siege . and so i 'm staying , okay ? and that is the last word on the topic . stitch : yes , ma'am . maureen : okay , now , our first order of business is this baby situation . you 've got to get a dna test . you do not want to get hit with a paternity suit , particularly if you may not be the father . stitch : look , victoria 's not gon na sue me . that 's not who she is . maureen : that 's -- that 's who it is ? victoria ? stitch : victoria newman . maureen : is she -- is she related to victor and nikki newman ? their names are just in all the papers . stitch : she 's their daughter . [ chuckles ] yeah . maureen : and you really care for her , huh ? stitch : very much . maureen : and she does n't feel the same , huh ? victor : there we go . nikki : i 'll be right there . victor : hi , lauren . how are you ? lauren : how are you ? victor : nice to see you . lauren : nice to see you . [ smooches ] christine : victor , it 's lovely to see you . lauren : ah , nikki . gorgeous as always . nikki : oh , thank you . lauren : and that looks like fenmore 's . nikki : oh , where else would i shop ? of course . lauren : thank goodness . [ both laugh ] christine : hello , nikki . nikki : hi , christine . for the man of the hour . lauren : oh , you know what ? i 'll put it with the others . there we go . nikki : thank you . christine : thank you both so much for coming . victor : well , there is n't anywhere we would rather be . nikki : nope . avery : congratulations mrs . outstanding citizen . christine : you made it ! avery : yes , hi . how are you ? christine : hi . i 'm so pleased . paul will be , too . nikki : well , we all are . victor : dylan , i want to thank you for protecting nikki from ian ward . dylan : i 'm glad i could help . how are you doing ? nikki : i 'm fine . really . now that this whole thing with ian is over , i 'm ready to move on . [ chuckles ] lauren : good . because this is a party , and i say we all put our worries on hold the rest of the day . victor : i think that 's a great idea . christine : great idea . may i get you a drink ? victor : oh , that would be nice . christine : okay . victor : thank you . christine : bartender ... nick : here you go . sharon : wow . fancy smoothie . nick : just like we used to drink after class . sharon : mm - hmm . back when you won me over . although i was dating somebody else at the time . nick : yeah . why do you think they call it a smoothie ? sharon : [ chuckles ] yeah , you were an operator . i just could n't resist your newman charm . and no one else could , either . they crowned you king of the polynesian dance . nick : and you were my queen -- moi wahine . sharon : and you were kane . nick : yep . sharon : [ chuckles ] nick : so , to us . long may we reign . sharon : mm - hmm . nick : yep . sharon : nick , this is really amazing . but ... what 's going on ? phyllis : [ muttering indistinctly ] noah : hey , thank you for , um , relieving me of my babysitting duties . summer : yeah , no problem . uh , do you have to leave for work right away ? noah : no , i think i got a few minutes i can hang out with my two sisters , huh ? faith : mariah 's our sister , too , now . a real one . just like us . summer : so i heard . faith : we have to get her a sister bracelet just like the one you gave me . summer : uh , um -- noah : hey , where 's your bracelet at ? faith : it 's on my dresser . noah : oh , it is ? well , what are you doing sitting around here for ? go get it . go . faith : okay . noah : okay . faith : summer ? summer : yeah ? faith : do n't tell mariah , but you 're still my favorite sister . summer : okay . noah : what did she say ? summer : she said , `` do n't tell mariah , but you 're still my favorite sister . `` nick : so much has happened in our lives . i just thought we should take a few moments to appreciate who we are and what we have . sharon : i think because we went through all of that , i can appreciate everything even more . i know what it 's like to be lost , to act out for days on end and then wake up in the morning with that pit in my stomach knowing that i hurt the people i love and ... afraid that they 're not gon na love me back again . nick : i fell in love with you in this very room . and there has n't been a moment since then that i have n't felt the exact same way . i love you , and i always will . jeffrey : never mind that . i need your help . michael : i do n't care if i 'm your de facto son - in - law . i will not pay your parking ticket . jeffrey : i did n't say anything about paying . i thought you could , you know , make it disappear . michael : who do i look like , david copperfield ? jeffrey : [ chuckles ] come on , mikey . you 've got connections . and besides , i 'll give you something in return for it . michael : an ulcer ? jeffrey : [ chuckles ] i heard paul say that ian ward 's car was found near the racetrack . guess who was also there yesterday . michael : like i need to guess . you 're always at the racetrack . jeffrey : uh - huh . and is , uh , dylan mcavoy ? michael : he was there ? jeffrey : i saw him near royden drive . he looked kind of upset . michael : really ? jeffrey : yeah . must have lost his shirt , poor schnook . who knew the chief 's kid played the ponies . dylan : all right . here 's your vodka martini , extra dry . avery : ah , thank you . dylan : club soda . nikki : perfect . thank you . avery : mmm . thank you . nikki : it 's really nice to see you smiling again . i 'm very proud of you , you know ? dylan : uh , for smiling ? nikki : [ chuckles ] for chasing ian away , doing what needed to be done , and getting on with your life . avery : i 'm proud of you , too . lauren : you know , i wonder if everything 's okay . victor : what do you mean ? lauren : well , michael should have called by now to say that paul was on his way . victor : oh . well , why do n't you call yourself and find out what 's happening ? lauren : i 'm almost afraid to . victor : why would you be afraid ? christine : you know , maybe paul will want to skip dinner . he 's been so wrapped up finding ian ward , i -- victor : well , to be honest with you , i hope he keeps on being wrapped up in trying to find ian ward . he is a bad man . christine : and i agree with you . i just do n't want him to take any unnecessary risks . victor : i would n't worry if i were you . he 'll be here . he cares for you very much . christine : i appreciate that , but he was n't too excited about my throwing this whole party in the first place . victor : christine , trust me on this . a man will do anything for the family he loves -- anything . phyllis : [ babbling ] [ babbling continues ] noah : you see that ? you do n't have to worry about faith . the girl 's got her priorities straight . summer : of course i 'm her favorite sister . she 's known me her whole life . noah : what is it , exactly , that you 're worried about ? that the more time she spends with mariah the closer she 's gon na get ? summer : mariah is your blood . i 'm not . okay , not only is she related to you and faith , she is cassie 's twin . noah : so what ? summer : so it 's like cassie 's come back to life . the -- the little girl that died before her time -- she 's back . and i - i ca n't compete with that . noah : not back , okay ? and it 's only a competition if you make it one . summer : noah , i 'm -- i 'm just really confused . it 's been over a year since i found out that i 'm not nick 's biological daughter , and ... i love jack . i love him so much , and i 'm handling the situation , but ... honestly , i do n't know if i 'll ever be able to really accept it . stitch : why would you say that about victoria not being that into me ? maureen : well , there 's obviously another man in the picture if the child 's paternity is in question . stitch : still , she said if the baby is mine , then she still wants me to be a part of his or her life . maureen : yeah , i - i - i can see how that -- how much that would mean to you , given ... stitch : that jenna left me and took max with her ? maureen : yeah . i - i 'm so sorry about that . i - i wish it had been different . stitch : i know you do , mom . [ knock on door ] maureen : probably your sister . kelly : hi , mom . maureen : hi . i did n't know you were bringing company . kelly : yeah . um , may we come in ? maureen : of course , of course . kelly : hey , ben . stitch : kelly . jack : ben . kelly : ma , this is the , uh , man i told you about . jack : jack abbott . a pleasure to make your acquaintance , mrs. russell . maureen : oh , uh , please , maureen . jack : maureen it is . uh , please forgive the intrusion . i kind of strong - armed kelly into bringing me along . i could n't wait to meet the mother of the woman i fell in love with . maureen : [ chuckles ] i was not expecting this . jack : your daughter is a wonderful , wonderful woman . maureen : oh , i agree . although i 'm not sure she believes that . jack : well , now that you 're spending some time together , maybe that 'll change . of course , i 'd like to get to know you better myself since we 're practically family . stitch : and our lives definitely seem to syncing up , especially now that i 'll be working for ashley . christine : well , i really apologize . i know it 's getting late . i tried michael ... lauren : hey . avery : hey . lauren : you and i have n't talked since you and michael became partners . avery : yes . well , i think the firm of baldwin - clark is gon na be very successful . lauren : yes , i hope so . so , how 's it going so far ? avery : it 's going well . it 's a much easier transition than i was expecting , and michael and i have already lightened our caseloads . lauren : you have ? avery : you sound surprised . lauren : it 's just that , uh , michael came home very late the other night , and he said it was because of work . avery : oh . well , that 's not unusual . there are always things that can tie us up -- a late - night motion that needs to be filed , a jury returning their verdict at 10 : 00 , or , uh , writing a statement , rewriting a closing . you know , even partnerships ca n't prevent that . lauren : no . i suppose not . paul : so , what 's going on ? christine : well , look who finally made it . [ chuckles ] surprise . sharon : we were so innocent back then . remember ? we felt invincible , like nothing bad could ever happen to us . nick : if we knew then what we know now , huh ? sharon : would you ... change anything or doing anything different if you could ? nick : absolutely . but there are also a lot of things i would n't change for the world . sharon : like what ? nick : like ... buying this place , going into business with you , starting our lives together . sharon : i was so excited when you told me that this place was ours . nick : baby , i just wanted to sit down with you and , uh , have a drink and to make a toast . sharon : to what ? nick : to ... this place . to our place . sharon : our place ? nick : yes ! our place . sharon , we got it . crimson lights belongs to us . nick : we had everything going for us . we had just tracked down cassie . i had finally popped the question . sharon : oh , uh , what question was that ? nick : oh , that would be the question that you have been avoiding for the past few months . sharon : [ chuckles ] well , you know , it made sense for me to say `` yes `` to you back then . you were the hottest hottie that ever hottied . [ both laugh ] nick : i was pretty irresistible . nick : nothing will ever change the way i feel about you , do you hear me ? nothing . look , what i 'm trying to do ... is -- i mean , what i 'm trying to say ... is that i wanted to ask you ... sharon : ask me what ? nick : to marry me . will you ? will you marry me , sharon ? nick : it made sense for you to marry me back then . and it makes sense now . sharon : are you saying what i think you 're saying ? nick : we 've made a lot of memories , good and bad . and now ... it 's time to make some new ones . noah : well , you probably wo n't hear a peep out of her for the next couple hours . she just loves that movie . summer : yeah . she loves everything and everyone . [ sighs ] i wish i could be more like that . noah : [ chuckles ] summer : i just get a little overprotective when i feel like someone 's trying to horn in on my territory . noah : mariah ? summer : yeah , and kelly . i did not take it well when i found out that she moved in with jack . noah : that 's -- that 's a big statement , you know ? he 's basically proclaiming to the world that he 's given up on your mom . summer : i know . that 's exactly how i felt about it . but the more that i think about it , i - i do n't know . i finally realized that it 's wrong for me to expect jack to give up his whole life waiting for something that may never happen . i like kelly . kelly is -- she 's nice , and maybe she 's good for jack , you know ? he 's so happy when he 's with her . [ chuckling ] so why ca n't i just accept her ? why ca n't i just trust ? noah : because you 've had a lot taken away from you . but look what happened when you opened up your heart to austin . it 's not so bad to let people in . summer : maybe you 're right . i think i know where to start . stitch : sorry if i caught you off - guard . i thought ashley would have told you . she hired me as her new chemist . jack : no , my sister neglected to tell me that particular item of news . mason : a - are you unsure whether ben can do the job , because i assure you -- jack : oh , no , no , no , no . that wo n't be necessary . if my sister decided your son is the best candidate for the job , i absolutely agree . though jabot will be overseeing that project , which means i 'll be overseeing you . stitch : i can handle that . maureen : jabot ? kelly : uh , jack 's family owns it . it 's a clothing and cosmetics company . maureen : i - i - i recognize the name . [ chuckles ] i have some of the products . kelly : yes , you and half the western world . jack : your daughter exaggerates a bit . maureen : well , she 's found a very clever man to be with . she 's quite fortunate . jack : no , i am the fortunate one ... to have kelly in my life . christine : you 're not mad at me , are you ? paul : for making a bigger deal out of this than i wanted ? christine : i guess that answers my question . paul : no , this answers your question . [ smooches ] christine : oh , good . [ chuckles ] paul : thank you . [ smooches ] christine : you 're welcome . paul : so , what did you have to promise these people to get them all to show up ? lauren : well , believe it or not , we all wanted to be here . victor : we are very proud to be part of this . nikki : yes , very . paul : well , i do n't know why you would be . i was their second choice for the award . you know , the reigning miss cheesehead turned it down . [ laughter ] dylan : they could n't have picked a better man to honor . we 're just glad you 're around to accept it . paul : so am i . and , you know , a guy could n't ask for a better set of friends . thank you . lauren : oh , well , look who showed up . where have you been ? michael : oh , it 's a long story . but i need to steal away the man of the hour for just a moment . paul : oh , what did i do ? christine : come back . michael : all right . no , just business . paul : yeah , what 's going on ? michael : well , this is n't about you . it 's about dylan and , um ... where he was spotted around the time ian disappeared . kelly : well , now that you 've met my mother , you sure you want to live with me ? jack : oh , it seemed like she was trying . kelly : oh , yeah . trying to make a good impression on you . hey , those were n't there before . are these from you ? jack : afraid not . kelly : that 's my name . `` welcome home . love , summer . `` jack : wow . kelly : wow . i wonder what brought about her change of heart . jack : i have no idea . but i 'm sure glad it happened . kelly : yeah , me , too . i guess you really just never know about some people , huh ? jack : i 'm sure about you . and that 's enough for me . victor : sweetheart , would you like a refill ? nikki : oh , no . i 'm fine . you know , i have to use the powder room for a minute . i 'll be right back . [ smooches ] victor : okay . christine : so , if i could have your attention , we have champagne and sparkling cider . if you 'd grab a glass , i 'm gon na make a toast . paul : dylan , hold up . dylan : i was just gon na grab a drink . paul : yeah , i 'm afraid you ca n't do that . dylan : why not ? paul : i 'm taking you to the station for questioning . dylan : questioning about what ? paul : the disappearance of ian ward . nikki : it 's good to see you . maureen : what a coincidence . i 'm maureen , remember ? it 's nice to see you , sherry . nikki : um ... victor : why did she call you sherry ? nick : now , i ca n't promise you that life is gon na be as sweet as when we were king and queen at our school dance or when we were making those newfangled lattes . we both know there 's always trouble around the corner . and the last time it hit , i choked . i bailed . but i can promise you that that is not gon na happen again . because i love you . you know how they say , in sports , it 's not about the name on the back that matters , it 's about the name on the front . i think i finally learned what that means . you and i are a team . and , yeah , we might get traded from time to time . but we always end up in the same place again . and that 's got to count for something . we were meant to be together . so , what do you say , sharon ? you want to do this ? let 's make it real . let 's make it forever . so , sharon collins newman , will you be on my team again ? sharon : [ chuckles ] yes . phyllis : no ! [ next_on ] lauren : are you going to realize that we have a problem here ? victor : you two getting married or what ? paul : we have an eyewitness that saw you near the track around the same time ian went missing . abby : [ screams ] [ dramatic music ]Summarize.[/INST]paul gets confirmation from tests that the blood found on victor and nikki 's driveway belongs to ian ward . jeffrey tells michael that he saw dylan at the racetrack which is the same place where they found ian ward 's car . michael goes to tell paul the information which ends paul 's celebration of his good citizen award , because he has to take dylan to the police station to be questioned . maureen dampens nikki 's mood when she goes over to her table at the party and calls her sherry , which leaves victor confused about why a stranger is calling nikki by another name .</s> | 18,043 |

[ scene_break ] nicole : brady , please do n't turn your back on me . brady : do you realize what you 're asking me to do ? to lie about relapsing . i 'd have to be insane to do that , nicole . nicole : okay , so maybe you 'll temporarily risk your reputation , but you certainly wo n't ruin your career . you can just say that you -- you had a slip . brady : at , uh , at the helm of a multibillion dollar corporation , i had a slip ? nicole : your friends and family will forgive you . brady : my grandfather would fire my ass , and you know that . nicole : maybe . but it would n't be long before he 'd take you back . brady : you do n't know that . nicole : oh , please , brady , i am desperate . i am out of options . brady : is that -- is that my fault somehow ? nicole : you have to help me . brady : i help you and i ruin my own life in the process , nicole . nicole : all right , so maybe you lose your job for a while . but is that as terrible as me losing my little girl ? because that 's exactly what will happen if e.j . finds out the truth .

[ coughs ] ashley : [ sobbing ] ian : victor 's your hero now ? ! oh , man . i did not see that one coming . what happened to all those years of resentment toward him , of hating him , of groveling for his approval and then getting kicked in the teeth ? and now that his empire is finally crumbling , that the walls are tumbling down , you 're ready to forgive and forget ? ! adam : yeah , i would n't expect a sociopath like you to understand any of that . ian : [ chuckling ] a sociopath ? adam : yeah . ian : oh , sweetheart , when it comes to sociopath , victor newman wrote the book . hey , if that man gave a damn about you , he would n't have left you here to be barbecue . adam : no , no . i chose to stay , understand ? ian : yeah . adam : i told him to leave . i chose to stay here . ian : and he went , did n't he ? huh ? without so much as a glance in the rearview mirror . you find out exactly how much old pops values your life , huh ? step out of it , adam , will you ! victor deserves every bit of the hell we 've unleashed . what do you say that , uh , we move this whole conversation somewhere cooler , huh ? adam : no , no , no , no , no . no . i could n't stop paragon , but i sure as hell can stop you . ian : hey , do n't you have a wife and a kid to get to ? adam : that 's right . i do . but first , i have to right a wrong , you understand ? ian : oh , right and wrong -- that 's a limited concept . come on . instead of boohooing that the devil made you do it , you ought to be out trying to find a way to disappear , which is what i intend to do . aah ! what are you gon na do , huh ? call the law ? adam : law ? no . who said anything about the law ? i was thinking more along the lines of -- how did you put it , ian , huh ? the big picture ? [ footsteps approaching ] monica : mr. and mrs. newman ? um , monica albright . nick : a social worker ? we were expecting the doctor . monica : uh , dr . greene was called into the delivery room , but she 'll be with you as soon as possible . in the meantime , i want to express my condolences for your loss and answer any questions you may have . sage : [ crying ] why did this happen ? monica : i 'm sorry that i do n't have an answer for you . perhaps you 'd like to speak with the chaplain . nick : we just want to know how this could happen . can we see him ? monica : the doctor will answer all of your questions . nick : please , let us see our baby . monica : in some cases , as in your son 's -- sage : his name is christian . monica : christian . extraordinary measures are taken in an attempt to save a patient 's life . and even if you 're prepared , it can be difficult . sage : [ sighs ] monica : may i suggest it might be better if your final memory is of when he was alive . sage : do n't warn me about seeing my son , monica . i did n't get to touch him or hold him once . so , i would like to see my son . nick : we want to see our baby . and i want to see him right now . victor : i will not leave my son and my daughter in that building . now , i understand it 's too dangerous for you and the team to go back in there . but forgive me . it 's my building and my responsibility . i will go back . nikki : look , paul and his team have been very brave . victor : i understand all that . nikki : he has a responsibility for them . he ca n't endanger them anymore . victor : i will not leave them alone in -- dylan : i - i can try another roof evacuation . paul : look , there is no way to put a chopper down on that building in these conditions . there is zero visibility . the winds are kicking up . come on , dylan . the risk is too high . dylan : i 'm just saying if the pilot is willing , so am i . paul : [ sighs ] one more trip . chelsea : yes . thank you . paul : but when i tell you to get the hell off the roof , i mean it ! you damn well better follow my orders . dylan : okay . okay . victor : all right . let 's do it . paul : you want to try and talk him out of this ? nikki : victor , you go and you be safe . bring them home , all right ? paul : let 's go . victor : let 's go . billy : you 're not doing this without us . paul : you 're gon na stay here . that 's an order . only the ballroom . no lower floors . no stairwells . that understood ? dylan : yeah .

ivy : this is none of your business , steffy . steffy : trust me -- i do n't want to be involved . there 's plenty of other things i 'd rather be doing , but wyatt is my friend , and i care about him . ivy : ugh ! this is so typical of you to find something just to hold over me again . steffy : typical of me ? ! ivy , you cheated on wyatt ! i overheard you talking to thomas , and then thomas confirmed it . my only question now is when are you gon na tell wyatt ? because if you do n't , i will . thomas : so , you want me to stay away from ivy . is that what you 're telling me ? wyatt : yeah . thomas : oh , look . it 's a family affair . come on in . wyatt : just stop flirting with ivy . that 's all i 'm asking . stop making moves on my girlfriend . ivy 's already told you she 's not available , she 's not interested in you , and she 's my girlfriend . so back off . bill : do you hear that ? katie : silence . bill : he must be taking a little nap -- fell asleep . katie : ohh . you know he sleeps like a rock , just like his father . bill : yeah . well , his father 's not gon na be doing any sleeping right now . katie : oh , no ? bill : and you 're not gon na get any , either -- sleep , i mean . katie : i always thought sleep was overrated . bill : this is what i needed -- a little one - on - one time with my wife . katie : it 's nice to spend some time -- quiet time -- alone . bill : not too quiet . katie : [ laughs ] it 's got everything . it 's got everything in here . even the much - maligned `` the phantom mascara `` and `` jar jar blush . `` of course , i 'm a grown man . i would never wear this make - up , but darth vader would . katie : i 'm liking the new you . bill : the extra hours i 'm putting in at the gym ? is that what you mean ? katie : [ laughing ] no . bill : [ grunts ] katie : no , although your biceps are quite impressive . they re -- they are . bill : all right . i 'm a little sensitive . katie : no . i 've just -- i 've noticed a difference lately , and it 's nice . bill : you know what ? i 've been spending way too much time worrying about liam and wyatt making the right decisions , finding the right woman . all the concerns -- they 're just finally starting to disappear . i think my boys are -- i think they 're getting their acts together . katie : good . wyatt : ivy is committed to me -- we 're practically living together -- so why do n't you just go find another woman -- someone who 's single , someone who you might actually have a chance with ? because ivy is off limits . she does n't want anything to do with you . liam : well , i think you 've made your point , wyatt . i mean , nobody wants to think that their relationship is being threatened . it 's not a very nice feeling . and i 'm sure thomas would agree . thomas : look , i 'm not trying to cause problems between you and me , but i just do n't get what ivy sees in you . i get what you see in her . she 's a smart , beautiful , sophisticated woman . i hope you know how lucky you are . steffy : just admit it , ivy . you and thomas were alone at my grandfather 's house . wyatt was in san francisco . thomas went into your bedroom , and one thing led to another . ivy : steffy , nothing happened . steffy : but you guys made out , and you did n't seem to push him away . ivy : it was a mistake , steffy . i 've told thomas it will never happen again . steffy : i hope you mean that . but you ca n't erase the past . ivy : if i could take all of this back , i would , but i ca n't . steffy : ivy , i know you feel bad about this . but wyatt is your boyfriend . you should tell him the truth . he deserves to know . ivy : steffy , this is n't the sort of person i am . i do n't cheat . i ca n't even believe i 've betrayed wyatt . i ca n't believe i 'm in this position . steffy : ivy , we all have regrets . we make mistakes , bad decisions . i 'm not trying to attack you , and i 'm not trying to make you feel bad . i 'm just standing up for wyatt ... because he has no idea what 's going on behind his back , and if i were him , i would want to know . would n't you ? see ? it 's only fair . ivy : i know that , and i know that you probably do n't believe this , but i am committed to wyatt and he is the man i want to be with . steffy : okay . then why did you kiss my brother ? ivy : ugh ! i do n't know ! i do n't know . it 's just -- there 's just something about thomas , you know ? i got -- i got caught up in moments with him . but that does n't change my feelings for wyatt and how deeply i care for him . steffy : wyatt trusts you . you were unfaithful . ivy : steffy , i feel awful . steffy : wyatt 's been honest with you . you need to be honest with him . tell him . ivy : yeah . i will -- right now . steffy : really ? ivy : yes . i 'm gon na do it -- not you . he 's my boyfriend , this is my relationship , and you need to let me do this by myself . bill : so , are you finally willing to admit that steffy 's the right woman for liam ? katie : ohh , and we were having such a nice time . bill : listen , i know you have your reservations . katie : no , no , no , no . you know what ? i 'm done with all that . liam loves her , and that 's all that matters . bill : well , in that case , what do you think about them getting married right here on our grounds ? katie : i think that they should get married whenever and wherever they want to . bill : [ chuckles ] my boy . before you know it , he 's gon na be a married man . liam : hey . did you get those comps i sent you ? steffy : no . no , but i , uh -- i did something else . liam : what ? steffy : okay , just remember that you love me and you just proposed to me . liam : should i be sitting down for this ? steffy : i tried not to say anything , okay ? i really , really did . liam : what did you do ? steffy : you know how you told me to stay out of ivy and wyatt 's business ? liam : yeah . steffy : well , after you left the office , ivy came in the room , and then she -- liam : oh , no . no . steffy , you did n't tell her you know about thomas ? ohh . wyatt : i 'm kind of getting the feeling that you 're not taking me very seriously here . um , in fact , i still have n't heard you say that you 're gon na drop this whole thing and stop this stupid game of pursuing my girlfriend . thomas : hmm ? are we still talking about this ? wyatt : ha . my thoughts exactly . i think this is getting old , do n't you ? ivy 's not interested in you . do n't you think it 's time to give it a rest ? thomas : you know what ? ivy : you 're both still in here . wyatt : [ sighs ] thomas : yeah . i was just telling wyatt how lucky he is to have you . if you 'll excuse me ... ivy : okay . wyatt : hopefully , i got through to him and then we can all just move on with our lives , you know ? what ? what is it ? ivy : it 's thomas . bill : you know , if you really think about it , liam has had a pretty rough road . the way his marriage ended to steffy was pretty tragic . all the drama with miss goody two shoes ... katie : okay , i know you 're not talking about my niece . bill : katie , uh , you got to admit , i mean , hope put liam and wyatt through the wringer . katie : [ sighs ] okay . they 've both been through a lot , sure -- especially liam . bill : well , i 'm glad for him . i 'm glad he 's finally settling down . he deserves some happiness -- some happiness ... like this . katie : mm . bill : i just hope that he is half as happy as i am . katie : you really mean that , do n't you ? bill : i do . steffy : you 're not mad , are you ? liam : well [ scoffs ] i thought we agreed you were n't gon na get involved . steffy : yeah . i was n't planning on it . i was gon na keep my mouth shut . and then ivy came in to the room , and then i just blurted it out . liam : oh , what -- what did you say specifically ? steffy : i told her that i got a vibe form them at thanksgiving and that i overheard her talking to thomas . it 's not like i attacked her . i actually handled it pretty graciously . liam : okay , okay , but what is the point of letting her know that you know about thomas ? it 's none of our business , steffy ! it 's not our place . steffy : i was looking out for your brother ! wyatt needs to know what ivy 's been up to . liam : fine . what did -- what did she say when you confronted her ? steffy : well , she denied it at first , and then she realized she could n't -- that thomas confirmed everything was true . so i told her to tell wyatt and if she did n't , then ... i would . liam : oh , my god , steffy ! steffy : she never would have confessed ! she needed a little pressure ! and i 'm happy that i did it because she promised she 'd tell wyatt . liam : okay . all right . great . that 's done . what time is the meeting with the south africans ? steffy : even though she 's completely untrustworthy . i highly doubt she 'll go through with it . liam : steffy ! you got to let this go . you have to let ivy be the one to tell wyatt . promise me . i 'm serious . wyatt : what about thomas ? ivy : well , it 's just we 've gotten a lot closer lately . um ... i think when the light fell , it really bonded us , and we 've also been working very closely on the line together , so i think that that 's why there 's some , uh -- some -- wyatt : okay . [ laughing ] ivy , look -- you do n't need to explain . i get it . we all know that thomas has been sniffing around , and i ca n't blame him . i mean , look at you ! you 're gorgeous , you 're gifted , you 're talented , you 're smart . ivy : [ chuckles ] wyatt : like the way you are with me -- just so trusting and loving -- i have never felt that in any other relationship ever . so do n't do that . do n't take the blame for what thomas is doing right now . just a second ago , i told him -- and i made it very clear -- that you are in a serious relationship . ivy : look , it 's not all thomas ' fault , wyatt . wyatt : ivy , it 's thomas ' problem for misreading you . he 's so used to the models just drooling over him that he just assumes that everybody 's interested in him . but let 's just stop talking about thomas , okay ? no more talking about thomas , especially not today . ivy : wyatt , i just -- wyatt : why , do you ask ? [ both chuckle ] wyatt : because it 's a special day , okay ? i was just thinking we 'd get some food from our favorite indian place , little bottle of wine , maybe , you know , jump in the ocean . hmm ? ivy : yeah . i mean ... sounds great , but we really -- we really have to talk . wyatt : then , yeah , let 's talk over dinner . ivy : okay . wyatt : yeah ? ivy : yeah . you 're such a wonderful , kind man . i really hope you know how much i appreciate you . i 'm so happy with you . wyatt : i kind of have an idea . [ chuckles ] katie : we should definitely do this more often . i know i have n't had a chance to tell you , but i really appreciate what you said at thanksgiving . it was so wonderful to be there , surrounded by all that love and warmth . it 's amazing i did n't start crying into my mashed potatoes . bill : [ chuckles ] katie : i love you . you always make me feel appreciated and valued , and ... i ca n't thank you enough for that . bill : i love you , too . and this new , improved version that you like so much -- katie : mm - hmm ? bill : it 's just a by - product of having such a phenomenal wife . katie : i am so happy we 're here ... in each other 's arms , with our beautiful boy asleep down the hall . bill : [ chuckles ] katie : it does n't get any better than this . bill : no , it does n't . [ knock on door ] ivy : hey . liam : hey . ivy : thanks for coming . liam : sure . i was , uh ... surprised , to say the least , to get your text . ivy : yeah . well , i would n't have texted you if it was n't very important . liam : everything all right ? ivy : [ sighs ] look , it 's , um -- it 's about your brother and thomas . something happened between thomas and i . liam : yeah . steffy told me . ivy : great . look , it did n't go very far . you know , we did n't sleep -- liam : yeah , i know . but ... regardless ... ivy : i do n't even have a reason . there 's not even an excuse for what i did . liam : does wyatt know ? ivy : no . i 'm telling him tonight . he 's planned this amazing evening for us , and he has no idea the bomb i 'm about to drop on our relationship . liam : oof . i was [ chuckles ] i was just with him . he was reading thomas the riot act for flirting with you . ivy : great . great . ca n't wait to tell him it went beyond flirting . liam : yeah . i imagine he 'll be pretty shocked . ivy : am i doing the right thing by telling him ? i mean , steffy said if i do n't say anything , then she 's gon na tell him . liam : she 's not gon na say anything . i asked her not to . steffy : thank you . i mean , steffy does have a point . i - if we 're ever gon na get past this , i just have to put it all out there . ca n't keep secrets from wyatt . i just have to hope he can forgive me , i guess . look , liam , i - i asked you over here because you 're his brother and i really need to know . am i gon na lose him ? wyatt : have you seen her tablet in here ? steffy : hold on . wait . is n't -- is n't that private ? wyatt : ivy and i do n't keep things from each other . wyatt : hey . uh ... [ clears throat ] so , i 'm just placing the orders with the suppliers . i did n't know if you wanted to check -- take a look at these before i send them . steffy : no , it 's good . i 'm sure it 's fine . wyatt : wow . okay . that was ... easy -- almost too easy . what 's up with you ? steffy : no , nothing . i 'm just -- i 'm just , uh , busy . that 's all . wyatt : okay . well , i 'm gon na take off early . tonight 's kind of a special night for ivy and me . steffy : i hope ivy appreciates everything you do for her . sometimes i wonder if you know your girlfriend as well as you think you do . wyatt : okay . i thought everything was all good with you and ivy . you guys talked and now you agreed to try and be nice to each other . steffy : yeah . i thought so , too , but ... i guess i still have issues with her . wyatt : okay . well , whatever it is , like , do n't get all caught up in it . it 's not healthy . it 's not worth it . steffy : you 're looking out for me ? wyatt : yeah . i mean , you know , i guess so . steffy : i 'm trying to look out for you , too . wyatt : okay . how so ? steffy : just in general , i guess . wyatt : this is about your brother , is n't it ? look ... i know your brother is the resident playboy here . i also know that he 's been hitting on ivy . but that does n't matter to me , because she 's loyal to me . and i find it very cute that you 're concerned about me -- i really do -- but it 's not necessary . and as much as i want him to stop doing that , he can hit on ivy as much as he wants , because she 's just gon na shut him down . steffy : what makes you so sure about that ? wyatt : because she 's not that kind of person -- that she 'd cross a line and betray me . she has too much respect for herself and for me . despite what you think , she 's -- she 's great , okay ? she would n't jeopardize what we have together . steffy : then maybe you should talk to her . wyatt : what is that supposed to mean ? steffy : i just think you should talk to your girlfriend . wyatt : steffy , what are you implying here ? steffy : ivy promised she would tell you . wyatt : tell me what ? steffy : wyatt , i admire you , and i hate seeing you being treated this way . wyatt : what way ? ! steffy , tell me ! whatever you think you know , just tell me ! steffy : it 's about -- it 's about ivy and my brother . she 's been unfaithful . ivy cheated on you with thomas . | steffy tells ivy that she is busy and there are things she should be doing but wyatt is her friend and she wo n't stand by while she is cheating on him . ivy needs to tell wyatt or she will . she admits what steffy knows that she was alone in the house with thomas . it was a mistake and will never happen again . she is not that kind of person ; she does not cheat . in the end she agrees that she will tell wyatt right now without steffy being involved . thomas plays coy and asks wyatt if he is telling him to stay away from ivy . liam walks in and thomas invites him to come in and make this a family affair . wyatt repeats again that he needs to back off as ivy is not available . they are practically living together so thomas needs to go find another woman . thomas makes a slam that he does n't know what ivy sees in wyatt . nowhere in there does wyatt hear thomas say he will back off and leave his girlfriend alone . ivy walks in and is not happy to see them both together . thomas leaves but says he was just telling wyatt how lucky he was . wyatt hopes he got through to him and they can now move on with their lives . ivy admits she has a problem with thomas . bill and katie continue their love fest in bed . she is glad to hear that he thinks his sons are getting their lives together . she wo n't go as far as saying steffy is the right woman for liam but she does want him to be happy . liam goes back to ridge 's office and is sorry to hear that steffy confronted ivy about thomas . he had asked her repeatedly to stay out of their business . she hopes he is not too mad at her ; ivy came in and it just tumbled out of her mouth . but she agrees with liam , even though ivy is untrustworthy , she needs to be the one to tell wyatt the truth . so either ivy tells wyatt or she will . | <s>[INST] ivy : this is none of your business , steffy . steffy : trust me -- i do n't want to be involved . there 's plenty of other things i 'd rather be doing , but wyatt is my friend , and i care about him . ivy : ugh ! this is so typical of you to find something just to hold over me again . steffy : typical of me ? ! ivy , you cheated on wyatt ! i overheard you talking to thomas , and then thomas confirmed it . my only question now is when are you gon na tell wyatt ? because if you do n't , i will . thomas : so , you want me to stay away from ivy . is that what you 're telling me ? wyatt : yeah . thomas : oh , look . it 's a family affair . come on in . wyatt : just stop flirting with ivy . that 's all i 'm asking . stop making moves on my girlfriend . ivy 's already told you she 's not available , she 's not interested in you , and she 's my girlfriend . so back off . bill : do you hear that ? katie : silence . bill : he must be taking a little nap -- fell asleep . katie : ohh . you know he sleeps like a rock , just like his father . bill : yeah . well , his father 's not gon na be doing any sleeping right now . katie : oh , no ? bill : and you 're not gon na get any , either -- sleep , i mean . katie : i always thought sleep was overrated . bill : this is what i needed -- a little one - on - one time with my wife . katie : it 's nice to spend some time -- quiet time -- alone . bill : not too quiet . katie : [ laughs ] it 's got everything . it 's got everything in here . even the much - maligned `` the phantom mascara `` and `` jar jar blush . `` of course , i 'm a grown man . i would never wear this make - up , but darth vader would . katie : i 'm liking the new you . bill : the extra hours i 'm putting in at the gym ? is that what you mean ? katie : [ laughing ] no . bill : [ grunts ] katie : no , although your biceps are quite impressive . they re -- they are . bill : all right . i 'm a little sensitive . katie : no . i 've just -- i 've noticed a difference lately , and it 's nice . bill : you know what ? i 've been spending way too much time worrying about liam and wyatt making the right decisions , finding the right woman . all the concerns -- they 're just finally starting to disappear . i think my boys are -- i think they 're getting their acts together . katie : good . wyatt : ivy is committed to me -- we 're practically living together -- so why do n't you just go find another woman -- someone who 's single , someone who you might actually have a chance with ? because ivy is off limits . she does n't want anything to do with you . liam : well , i think you 've made your point , wyatt . i mean , nobody wants to think that their relationship is being threatened . it 's not a very nice feeling . and i 'm sure thomas would agree . thomas : look , i 'm not trying to cause problems between you and me , but i just do n't get what ivy sees in you . i get what you see in her . she 's a smart , beautiful , sophisticated woman . i hope you know how lucky you are . steffy : just admit it , ivy . you and thomas were alone at my grandfather 's house . wyatt was in san francisco . thomas went into your bedroom , and one thing led to another . ivy : steffy , nothing happened . steffy : but you guys made out , and you did n't seem to push him away . ivy : it was a mistake , steffy . i 've told thomas it will never happen again . steffy : i hope you mean that . but you ca n't erase the past . ivy : if i could take all of this back , i would , but i ca n't . steffy : ivy , i know you feel bad about this . but wyatt is your boyfriend . you should tell him the truth . he deserves to know . ivy : steffy , this is n't the sort of person i am . i do n't cheat . i ca n't even believe i 've betrayed wyatt . i ca n't believe i 'm in this position . steffy : ivy , we all have regrets . we make mistakes , bad decisions . i 'm not trying to attack you , and i 'm not trying to make you feel bad . i 'm just standing up for wyatt ... because he has no idea what 's going on behind his back , and if i were him , i would want to know . would n't you ? see ? it 's only fair . ivy : i know that , and i know that you probably do n't believe this , but i am committed to wyatt and he is the man i want to be with . steffy : okay . then why did you kiss my brother ? ivy : ugh ! i do n't know ! i do n't know . it 's just -- there 's just something about thomas , you know ? i got -- i got caught up in moments with him . but that does n't change my feelings for wyatt and how deeply i care for him . steffy : wyatt trusts you . you were unfaithful . ivy : steffy , i feel awful . steffy : wyatt 's been honest with you . you need to be honest with him . tell him . ivy : yeah . i will -- right now . steffy : really ? ivy : yes . i 'm gon na do it -- not you . he 's my boyfriend , this is my relationship , and you need to let me do this by myself . bill : so , are you finally willing to admit that steffy 's the right woman for liam ? katie : ohh , and we were having such a nice time . bill : listen , i know you have your reservations . katie : no , no , no , no . you know what ? i 'm done with all that . liam loves her , and that 's all that matters . bill : well , in that case , what do you think about them getting married right here on our grounds ? katie : i think that they should get married whenever and wherever they want to . bill : [ chuckles ] my boy . before you know it , he 's gon na be a married man . liam : hey . did you get those comps i sent you ? steffy : no . no , but i , uh -- i did something else . liam : what ? steffy : okay , just remember that you love me and you just proposed to me . liam : should i be sitting down for this ? steffy : i tried not to say anything , okay ? i really , really did . liam : what did you do ? steffy : you know how you told me to stay out of ivy and wyatt 's business ? liam : yeah . steffy : well , after you left the office , ivy came in the room , and then she -- liam : oh , no . no . steffy , you did n't tell her you know about thomas ? ohh . wyatt : i 'm kind of getting the feeling that you 're not taking me very seriously here . um , in fact , i still have n't heard you say that you 're gon na drop this whole thing and stop this stupid game of pursuing my girlfriend . thomas : hmm ? are we still talking about this ? wyatt : ha . my thoughts exactly . i think this is getting old , do n't you ? ivy 's not interested in you . do n't you think it 's time to give it a rest ? thomas : you know what ? ivy : you 're both still in here . wyatt : [ sighs ] thomas : yeah . i was just telling wyatt how lucky he is to have you . if you 'll excuse me ... ivy : okay . wyatt : hopefully , i got through to him and then we can all just move on with our lives , you know ? what ? what is it ? ivy : it 's thomas . bill : you know , if you really think about it , liam has had a pretty rough road . the way his marriage ended to steffy was pretty tragic . all the drama with miss goody two shoes ... katie : okay , i know you 're not talking about my niece . bill : katie , uh , you got to admit , i mean , hope put liam and wyatt through the wringer . katie : [ sighs ] okay . they 've both been through a lot , sure -- especially liam . bill : well , i 'm glad for him . i 'm glad he 's finally settling down . he deserves some happiness -- some happiness ... like this . katie : mm . bill : i just hope that he is half as happy as i am . katie : you really mean that , do n't you ? bill : i do . steffy : you 're not mad , are you ? liam : well [ scoffs ] i thought we agreed you were n't gon na get involved . steffy : yeah . i was n't planning on it . i was gon na keep my mouth shut . and then ivy came in to the room , and then i just blurted it out . liam : oh , what -- what did you say specifically ? steffy : i told her that i got a vibe form them at thanksgiving and that i overheard her talking to thomas . it 's not like i attacked her . i actually handled it pretty graciously . liam : okay , okay , but what is the point of letting her know that you know about thomas ? it 's none of our business , steffy ! it 's not our place . steffy : i was looking out for your brother ! wyatt needs to know what ivy 's been up to . liam : fine . what did -- what did she say when you confronted her ? steffy : well , she denied it at first , and then she realized she could n't -- that thomas confirmed everything was true . so i told her to tell wyatt and if she did n't , then ... i would . liam : oh , my god , steffy ! steffy : she never would have confessed ! she needed a little pressure ! and i 'm happy that i did it because she promised she 'd tell wyatt . liam : okay . all right . great . that 's done . what time is the meeting with the south africans ? steffy : even though she 's completely untrustworthy . i highly doubt she 'll go through with it . liam : steffy ! you got to let this go . you have to let ivy be the one to tell wyatt . promise me . i 'm serious . wyatt : what about thomas ? ivy : well , it 's just we 've gotten a lot closer lately . um ... i think when the light fell , it really bonded us , and we 've also been working very closely on the line together , so i think that that 's why there 's some , uh -- some -- wyatt : okay . [ laughing ] ivy , look -- you do n't need to explain . i get it . we all know that thomas has been sniffing around , and i ca n't blame him . i mean , look at you ! you 're gorgeous , you 're gifted , you 're talented , you 're smart . ivy : [ chuckles ] wyatt : like the way you are with me -- just so trusting and loving -- i have never felt that in any other relationship ever . so do n't do that . do n't take the blame for what thomas is doing right now . just a second ago , i told him -- and i made it very clear -- that you are in a serious relationship . ivy : look , it 's not all thomas ' fault , wyatt . wyatt : ivy , it 's thomas ' problem for misreading you . he 's so used to the models just drooling over him that he just assumes that everybody 's interested in him . but let 's just stop talking about thomas , okay ? no more talking about thomas , especially not today . ivy : wyatt , i just -- wyatt : why , do you ask ? [ both chuckle ] wyatt : because it 's a special day , okay ? i was just thinking we 'd get some food from our favorite indian place , little bottle of wine , maybe , you know , jump in the ocean . hmm ? ivy : yeah . i mean ... sounds great , but we really -- we really have to talk . wyatt : then , yeah , let 's talk over dinner . ivy : okay . wyatt : yeah ? ivy : yeah . you 're such a wonderful , kind man . i really hope you know how much i appreciate you . i 'm so happy with you . wyatt : i kind of have an idea . [ chuckles ] katie : we should definitely do this more often . i know i have n't had a chance to tell you , but i really appreciate what you said at thanksgiving . it was so wonderful to be there , surrounded by all that love and warmth . it 's amazing i did n't start crying into my mashed potatoes . bill : [ chuckles ] katie : i love you . you always make me feel appreciated and valued , and ... i ca n't thank you enough for that . bill : i love you , too . and this new , improved version that you like so much -- katie : mm - hmm ? bill : it 's just a by - product of having such a phenomenal wife . katie : i am so happy we 're here ... in each other 's arms , with our beautiful boy asleep down the hall . bill : [ chuckles ] katie : it does n't get any better than this . bill : no , it does n't . [ knock on door ] ivy : hey . liam : hey . ivy : thanks for coming . liam : sure . i was , uh ... surprised , to say the least , to get your text . ivy : yeah . well , i would n't have texted you if it was n't very important . liam : everything all right ? ivy : [ sighs ] look , it 's , um -- it 's about your brother and thomas . something happened between thomas and i . liam : yeah . steffy told me . ivy : great . look , it did n't go very far . you know , we did n't sleep -- liam : yeah , i know . but ... regardless ... ivy : i do n't even have a reason . there 's not even an excuse for what i did . liam : does wyatt know ? ivy : no . i 'm telling him tonight . he 's planned this amazing evening for us , and he has no idea the bomb i 'm about to drop on our relationship . liam : oof . i was [ chuckles ] i was just with him . he was reading thomas the riot act for flirting with you . ivy : great . great . ca n't wait to tell him it went beyond flirting . liam : yeah . i imagine he 'll be pretty shocked . ivy : am i doing the right thing by telling him ? i mean , steffy said if i do n't say anything , then she 's gon na tell him . liam : she 's not gon na say anything . i asked her not to . steffy : thank you . i mean , steffy does have a point . i - if we 're ever gon na get past this , i just have to put it all out there . ca n't keep secrets from wyatt . i just have to hope he can forgive me , i guess . look , liam , i - i asked you over here because you 're his brother and i really need to know . am i gon na lose him ? wyatt : have you seen her tablet in here ? steffy : hold on . wait . is n't -- is n't that private ? wyatt : ivy and i do n't keep things from each other . wyatt : hey . uh ...
