[ scene_break ] elijah : i was just at the bridge . they 're dragging the river . blair : well , did they find the body ? elijah : not yet . police do n't think there 's any chance ross survived , though , so -- dani : no ! my father is alive ! [ scene_break ] gigi : how did his surgery go ? viki : unfortunately he 's going to live . gigi : oh . i do n't know how rex is going to take the news . since he found out mitch is his father , it 's really done a number on him . viki : yeah , jessie told me about that , and i 'm not surprised that it would upset him . does that have something to do with why you 're going away ? gigi : i almost wish it did . viki : do n't tell me your sister 's up to her old tricks . gigi : believe it or not , she is not the problem this time . viki : so what is ? gigi : you 're looking at it . [ scene_break ] rex : what did your mom say when you asked her ? shane : that she needed to work things out and it would be better for everyone else if she did that somewhere else . i thought families were supposed to work things out together . rex : you say that to her ? shane : no . i tried to guilt - trip her , so i asked if she stopped loving us . rex : shane ! shane : what ? she does it to me . rex : look , i do not want you getting mad or upset with your mom about any of this . taking this time off was not just her idea . she and i both agreed that it was the best thing . shane : so you 're giving mom space ? rex : sometimes when you love somebody , you have to give them time to figure things out for themselves . shane : but what if she takes all this time and figures out that she does n't want to be with you anymore ? is mom gon na end up with schuyler ?

[ scene_break ] nora : sweetie , dani 's father was trying to take her across the border into canada . bo : but before he could , we trapped him on a bridge . he was trying to get dani to jump in with him . matthew : off a bridge ? nora : and that 's when todd manning shot him , and he fell off the bridge into the water . matthew : wait . todd manning shot dani 's father ? bo : yeah . it was either that or rayburn would have pulled dani over the side with him . matthew : so dani 's father 's ... he 's dead ? nora : well , they 're looking for him , sweetie . it does n't look good , though . bo : son , i know it 's hard to understand , but actually , manning did the right thing . he usually would n't stick his neck out for anybody else unless there was something in it for him , but you know , he risked his life to save your friend . matthew : i 'm glad dani 's okay . it 's just ... what 's this like for her ? i mean , she really loved her dad . and now he 's gone . [ scene_break ] dani : my father is not dead ! elijah : dani , i 'm sorry . between the gunshot wound and the fall -- dani : my dad dives off cliffs . he surfs . he swims every day in the ocean . he 's alive . and you 've got to find him , so keep looking . officer : i 'm sorry . we searched all night . dani : well , it 's day now . keep looking . officer : i 'm afraid there 's nothing more we can do . téa : what are you saying ? officer : i 'm making it official . ross rayburn is presumed dead . téa : dani ... dani : do n't touch me ! if my father is dead , it 's because you murdered him . arrest that son of a bitch !

[ scene_break ] destiny : dani 's that rayburn guy 's daughter . he pulled the gun on me so he could take off with her . shaun : that 's rough stuff . destiny : i might not like dani , but i feel for her . her mom would n't let her dad see her . he did n't want to lose her again , so he did something crazy . and dani 's the one caught in the middle . shaun : and you wish that she was going through it with someone who was n't matthew . [ scene_break ] dani : what are you waiting for ? arrest him ! téa : okay , daniella , that 's enough , okay ? we need to get you home so you can rest . dani : i do n't need rest . i need my father , so stop telling me he 's gone . blair : you all right ? todd : so you knew , huh ? you knew she was my daughter and you did n't tell me ? blair : i knew that téa had a child . it was a while before i figured out that it was -- todd : how long have you known ? blair : about two minutes before she pushed me out the window . todd : you had no right to keep that from me . blair : todd , i only kept it from you for a few weeks . it was n't like it was years . and you know what ? i realized that you and dani needed to know the truth . why do you think i sent you here to téa in seattle ? seriously , you have no right to be mad at me . [ scene_break ] téa : we are gon na get through this , i promise you , okay ? but first you have to come home with me . dani : where 's home now ? téa : llanview . dani : llanview is not my home ! there 's nothing for me in llanview . todd : yes , there is . [ scene_break ] viki : how are you the problem ? gigi : i kissed schuyler joplin . viki : is this for real or is it like when you told me you were cheating on rex ? gigi : no , this is real . viki : mmm . gigi : i got drunk 'cause rex took a p.i . job the night that we were supposed to start couples counseling . viki : and ? gigi : and , well , here 's the kicker : he was helping natalie find jared , but i did n't know that , so i got mad . viki : and drunk . gigi : and i ended up spending the night at schuyler 's . viki : and did you two ... gigi : no , no . schuyler was a perfect gentleman . he really took care of me that night . by the way , rex does n't know this . viki : honey , are you leaving rex for schuyler ? gigi : no . i do n't know . maybe . [ scene_break ] rex : why would you ask about schuyler ? and drink your milk ! shane : because you always get weird when schuyler was around or when someone talks about him , especially mom . rex : i do n't get weird ! shane : dad , you 're getting weird right now . what 's the point in letting me ask questions if you 're not gon na answer them ? rex : you 're right . i 'm sorry . shane : so tell me , is mom moving out because of schuyler or not ? [ scene_break ] schuyler : you know , this may seem alien to you , but i do actually care about my offspring . stacy : as much as you care about gigi ? 'cause if she finds out this is your baby and you 've been lying to her all along , she 's definitely not gon na talk to you again . schuyler : yeah , well , you made that clear , so i guess it 's for the best . stacy : no . no , you love gigi . schuyler : yeah , i love gigi . you know what else i loved ? coke , meth , and pills . and you know what i did to get them ? i lied to everyone and i made unholy pacts with unscrupulous people . hey , it 's déja vu . stacy : wait . so you 're addicted to gigi ? schuyler : she 's all i think about . when she 's around , it 's euphoric . when she 's not , it physically hurts . i mean , you do the math . stacy : so call her . it 's not like you 're shooting up . schuyler : no , it 's exactly like shooting up , stacy . i mean , i tell myself i ca n't , but i want to anyway . i remind myself that it 's dangerous , and then i convince myself that i 'm going to anyway , and it goes again and again like that . i mean , it 's classic addiction and withdrawal . stacy : okay , first of all , it is impossible for you to be addicted to someone , okay ? second of all , it 's not addiction ; it 's love , and it 's wonderful and beautiful . schuyler : and deceitful . stacy : okay , you know what ? that 's it . i 'm not gon na sit here waiting for you to decide whether you 're going to shoot your mouth off or not . it 's stressful for the baby , and it 's not good . since you 're just so hell bent to ruin everything , you might as well do it now . schuyler : what -- what are you doing ? stacy : i 'm making it easier on you . i 'm calling gigi , and i 'm telling her you 're my baby daddy . stacy : it 's ringing . schuyler : no , it 's not . stacy : yeah , i did n't call . but now we know no matter how you feel , you 're still not going to do a damn thing about it . but that 's okay . i mean , in the end , you 're gon na have gigi . schuyler : no , i 'm not , and you 're not gon na have rex . we can fantasize all we want , stacy , but those two are staying together . [ scene_break ] rex : what your mom and i are doing is only about her and me , okay ? but i need you to understand that this will not in any way change the way either one of us feel about you . shane : yeah , mom told me that you both love me , she 'll see me all the time . blah , blah , blah . can i ask one last question ? rex : shoot . shane : how long are you giving the separation ? [ scene_break ] gigi : it 's not about me leaving rex or running to schuyler . i just -- i just need some time to myself so i can figure out what i want . viki : how does rex feel about this ? gigi : actually it was his idea . viki : oh ? gigi : sure , rex is being great about it , but he also wants me to get schuyler out of my system . he never liked us hanging out together even when we were just friends . viki : so now you are more than just friends ? gigi : oh , god , all i know is that i feel something for schuyler , and i do n't know if it 's because i 'm still angry at rex about stacy or maybe i 'm just grateful to schuyler because he was there for me when rex was n't . or maybe it 's more . maybe i really ... see , i 'm really confused . viki : how long have you felt this way ? gigi : a while . viki : aw . you do know that eventually you 're gon na have to decide , choose between them ? gigi : i know . you ca n't have 3 people in a relationship . [ scene_break ] nigel : oh . miss andrews . it 's you . kim : i need to see mr. buchanan . nigel : i do n't believe he 's seeing anyone this m -- kim : mr. buchanan ! ah , i 'm so glad you 're all right . when you did n't show up to that 8 : 00 meeting , i -- clint : the furman acquisition . god almighty , i forgot all about it . kim : do n't worry . i took care of everything . i told them you had another family emergency , and then i stuffed them with coffee and croissants and sent them on their way with some b.e . t - shirts . from the blood drive . um , here 's everything from your inbox ... just in case you want to work again from home . nigel : begging your pardon , but i handle mr. buchanan 's affairs at home . clint : nigel , you have to take renee to her checkup . nigel : quite right , sir . i 'll see if she 's ready . kim : i 'm sorry to bother you like this . i just figured it had to be something just awful for you to miss that meeting . clint : you could say that , yeah . kim : oh , no . what ? clint : i 'd rather not discuss it . kim : oh , my god , what am i doing ? this is so not my business . after all , you have nigel to help you with your problems , and your wife , of course . clint : my wife is the problem because she 's in love with my brother . [ scene_break ] nora : sweetheart , i know this is a lot to deal with right now , but you got to remember , dani 's okay , right ? bo : and we do need to get you home . greg : and once you 're back in llanview , you can start your physical therapy . remember we talked about how important that is ? matthew : and where 's dani now ? bo : she 's at the police station . matthew : okay , then , let 's go . nora : wh -- where are you going ? matthew : i ca n't leave town without seeing dani . nora : well -- greg : whoa , whoa . whoa , whoa . hey , nice try . you 're not ready to walk just yet . bo : way to go , son . if you 're that determined to see your friend , i guess we 'd better take you there , huh ? [ scene_break ] destiny : i 'm not jealous . shaun : no , no . you 're jealous , and it 's cool . you know , when someone looks like a fashion model , you know , has been around , has more experience with the opposite sex and saves lives ... destiny : hey , we 're not talking about greg coming between you and rachel . we 're talking about dani coming between me and matthew . shaun : and does this dani know that she 's coming in between anybody ? does matthew even know how you feel ? i did n't think so . destiny : i 'll tell him when he gets home . with any luck , dani 's mother will take her to the other end of the world . [ scene_break ] todd : you family 's in llanview . téa : your home is there with me now , okay ? and your uncle eli is there , all right ? dani : you 're kidding , right ? after what you people did to my dad ? you backed him into a corner , and then blame him for trying to get out of it ! you 're not my family , none of you ! todd : but there 's more than that , dani . i mean , there 's a lot more than you think . dani : the many fine museums ? todd : no , no . i mean -- téa : not now , todd , okay , not here . blair : just let todd talk , okay ? dani : yes , please . i 'd love to hear what this guy has to say . todd : dani -- dani : the man who killed my father . you took away the one person i love most in this world . i will never forget that , and i will never , never forgive you ! todd : okay -- dani : stay the hell away from me ! i hate you ! do you hear me ? i 'm going to hate you for the rest of my life ! téa : dani , this was not todd 's fault , okay ? dani : so todd did n't aim a gun at my dad ? todd did n't put a bullet in my father and knock him off a bridge ? because i was there ! i could have sworn it was todd ! téa : okay . we 're not gon na talk about this now . dani : just stop it ! téa : we 're gon na go home ! dani : stop trying to be my mother ! you ca n't be that anymore . i need to get out of here . i have to get away from all of you , especially you . i wish it was you who were dead . i just want my daddy . [ scene_break ] [ nora sighs ] bo : sorry about the detour to the police station . nora : oh , he was determined to see her . i just did n't expect that . bo : what , that he 'd act like a buchanan ? nora : yeah , that . bo : well , so , we can get home tonight instead of this afternoon . nora : yeah , and then i have the pleasure of telling clint that i ca n't stay married to him because i 'm in love with his brother . god , i hate this . bo : we waited way too long . he deserves to know . [ scene_break ] clint : it was an inappropriate thing to say to you . i apologize . kim : that 's all right . you can trust me . i wo n't say anything . clint : thank you . kim : except this . i do n't understand how someone could be unfaithful to such a wonderful man . clint : i appreciate what you 're trying to do , but we 've only just met . you do n't know me . kim : you 're right , i do n't , but i 've seen the way you 've treated your staff and the way you 've been treating me , and it 's obvious you do n't deserve this . clint : well , i agree with you there . kim : i know it might not seem like it right now , but in the long run , it 's for the best . you 'll see . [ phone rings ] clint : hello , nora . nora : hey , i was just calling to let you know that we found dani , and she 's safe . it 's a long story , though . clint : well , then you 're gon na have to tell me everything once you get home . nora : well , that 's the other thing , is that we have one short stop to make , and then , um , matthew and i are coming home tonight . clint : tonight , huh ? will bo be with you ? nora : uh , well , i do n't know if , uh , he has something that he needs to do here , but if he does n't , then yeah , i guess . um , well , i should -- i should probably go . i love you . clint : i 'm sorry . we 've got a terrible connection . i can no longer hear what you 're saying to me , nora .

[ scene_break ] shaun : i 'm glad you 're finally gon na tell matthew how you feel . it 's good . destiny : i would have told him , but it was never the right time . i mean , there was the trial , then his parents took him away , then all this with dani happened . shaun : sounds like you 're fresh out of excuses , baby girl . destiny : i know . that 's why i 'm planning something special for when he comes home . [ phone rings ] destiny : hi , greg . greg : hey , i wanted to let you know that matthew 's been discharged . destiny : that 's great . so i guess this means dani 's -- greg : they found her . she 's fine . destiny : i 'll bet matthew 's glad to hear that . so do you know if he 's coming home soon ? greg : i think so . i know his parents want to get him back there as soon as possible . destiny : excellent . all right , destiny out . i know you 're mad at him , but please try to be happy for me . matthew 's coming home . shaun : great . i guess that means your brother 's coming home , too .

[ scene_break ] kim : really kept your cool with your wife . i do n't think i could have done that . clint : i just did n't know what to say . and now i do n't know what to do . kim : it 's hard when someone you love hurts you like this . sometimes you just want to get them back the exact same way they hurt you . that 's how i always felt when my exes cheated on me . my first thought was always , do n't get mad ; get even . kim : but how could you possibly get even for something like this ? clint : i 'm sure that i will think of something . [ scene_break ] nora : um , i do n't -- i think that , um , dani staying with us is such a good idea right now . matthew : why not ? we have plenty of room . dani : you know what ? it 's okay . téa : wait . nora , a word . téa : okay , i know how you feel about me , all right ? but if you would do this for my daughter , i would be eternally grateful to you . nora : eternally ? téa : she needs a place to calm down , to process her feelings , and to stop hating me . nora : and since when is my place where people go to stop hating you ? téa : i have nowhere else to turn , nora . this wo n't be for a long time , i promise . please , please . nora : dani , we 'd love to have you stay with us . dani : thank you . i promise , it 'll be like i 'm not even there .

[ scene_break ] marcie : what are you afraid of ? gigi : shane 's going to hate me , but i 'm ready for that . and for him to want to hold on to brody and make rex and me as villains in his new comic book . oh , god . but what i 'm most afraid of is -- is shane just knowing that his mother has been lying to him all these years , keeping his real dad from him . marcie : yes , you should have known that rex was going to walk back into your life 10 years after he took off without a word . come on ! what is wrong with you ? look , shane might not understand at first , okay , but he will -- someday . gigi : do you really think he might ? marcie : yes , he loves you . and he will accept rex . it -- it 's just going to take him some time . he wanted you two to get together , right ? gigi : before st. brody showed up . marcie : you know what ? you are looking at all the negatives , gigi : there are positives ? marcie : yes , there are . when was the last time you had a date ? gigi : hmm , well , if you do n't count drinks with jared banks -- marcie : mm - hmm . had sex ? gigi : sex ? i remember sex -- sort of . it 's back there with the scrunchy and n 's ync . [ marcie laughs ] marcie : see ? you 've earned the fact that you 're finally , after all these years , with a guy that you love . and he loves you back , right ? look , maybe you are scared . and you want to know something ? that is okay , because you are not alone anymore . you 've got rex , the father of your son , and he will help you with shane . gigi : okay . marcie : okay ? gigi : now i know why you 're my best friend .

[ scene_break ] adriana : gigi told you that , did n't she ? rex : no , gigi did n't say a word . i figured it out all by myself . and guess what -- brody took a d.n.a . test to prove that he was shane 's biological father and i kept wondering how he could do that . and then i remembered the day before we got married . i was coming out of the shower and i caught you leaving the apartment with my toothbrush in a plastic bag . you made up some lame story about how you were trying to help me prove the truth about charlie , but that was n't it , was it ? did you give it to brody ? is that what he needed to make the test go the way he wanted it to ? i 'm having papers drawn up and i 'll send them to you in paris . adriana : rex , ca n't we talk about this in person ? rex : what 's there to say , adriana ? adriana : you 're willing to just give up on us just like that ? rex : no , you did that when you did n't trust me to love you enough . adriana : looks like i was right . rex : do n't make this any harder than it already is . [ knock on door ] adriana : so , that 's it ? i just sign these papers and you 're done with me ? you break my heart over the phone and just move on ? rex : i think there 's plenty of blame to go around here . adriana : i 'm sorry i did n't tell you about shane . i did n't want to lose you . please , is n't there anything i can do ? rex : it 's too late for that . i love someone else . adriana : you 're in love with gigi ? rex : yeah , i am . adriana : no , you 're not . you just think you are because you found out that she 's the mother of your son . [ knock on door ] adriana : you 'll change your mind . you do n't know what you want right now . rex : actually , i 've never been more sure in my life what i want . [ scene_break ] principal : ms. manning , i do n't appreciate you hijacking the welcome - to - school assembly . starr : but you were talking about role models . principal : positive ones . starr : what 's more positive than telling girls not to end up like me ? you ca n't act like this stuff does n't happen , because it does every day . if i could change one girl 's life , would n't that be a really positive thing ? principal : you might just have a future on our debate team depending on your own future here at llanview . but that really seems uncertain .

[ chuckles ] victor : yes . i want the two of you to go there , but why is she not here yet ? that 's unusual for her to be late . wonder what 's keeping her . victoria : do you want a refill ? billy : uh , no . no , i 'm good . victoria : it was nice waking up together this morning . billy : yeah , it was really nice . so , um , should we tell the kids ? victoria : tell the kids ? what are we gon na tell them ? there 's nothing to tell . billy : well , i would n't exactly call last night nothing . i mean ... victoria : [ laughs ] no , that 's not what i meant , billy . billy : i know . victoria : it 's just that we said , you know , that we were gon na take our time and ... oh , speaking of time , i 'm gon na be late for work . i 've got to go . billy : work can wait . victoria : not when you 're competing with your little sister . i am a newman , remember ? billy : now that you mention it , i do have vague recollection . victoria : [ chuckles ] billy : mm . victoria : mm . christine : [ gasps ] what ? ! paul : oh , come on . i was just trying to find the baseball scores . christine : oh , nice try . we agreed no newspapers , no stress , no police business . you are on a leave of absence . paul : okay . christine : which is why i brought you some herbal tea -- no caffeine . paul : thanks . [ both chuckle ] christine : so , are you ready for your first couples ' yoga class ? paul : um , yeah . yeah , i ca n't think of a better way to relax than to , uh , contort my body like a pretzel . christine : hmm . oh , come on . do n't you want to be around to take dylan and your future grandchild to a cubs game ? paul : oh , wow . you 're already pulling out the heavy guns , huh ? christine : i do n't want to lose you . paul : chris , you 're not gon na lose me . i 'm not going anywhere .

[ voice breaking ] everything 's fine . mariah : it says , `` line up the opposite corners with the bolt . `` what does that even mean ? sharon : um , not sure . faith : hi , mommy . sharon : hi , sweetie . how did it go at daddy 's ? faith : fine . we played games last night and had pancakes this morning . and now i 'm back . sharon : oh , well , that makes me very , very happy . thank you for letting her stay over an extra night . nick : you 're welcome . faith : what you doing ? sharon : well , mariah is helping me put together this crib for the baby . i wanted to have it all assembled before dylan got back from his run . mariah : which would be a breeze if the directions were n't written in swahili . sharon : [ chuckles ] faith : oh , this is easy . you just put part `` a `` in part `` b , `` part `` c `` into part `` d. `` and then you 'll be finished . sharon : mm . mariah : that 's it ? yeah ? faith : sure . after you do all the bolts and stuff . nick : i recommend you , you know , line up all the pieces first . sharon : well , we did n't ask you . nick : well , not yet , you have n't . sharon : [ laughs ] mariah : look , i suggest we try it faith 's way first . how about that ? sharon : okay . faith : so ... that . mariah : okay . now we lift it . i think ... sharon : yay ! mariah : that should be good . sharon : i think we did it . mariah : yeah . sharon : oh . faith : uh ... sharon : whoa . mariah : oh ! nick : yeah . stitch : it 's an old combat wound that never healed properly . he should have seen a doctor months ago , but he also has post - traumatic stress -- ca n't handle strangers touching him . ashley : oh . stitch : so , the idea of going in and getting treated -- ashley : is pretty much out of the question ? stitch : pretty much . ashley : i bet it was a reminder , too , for you . of all the soldiers that came back with scars . some you can see , and some you ca n't . stitch : yeah , i saw a lot of pain as a medic . but i missed the worst of it because i was , you know , on leave to meet my new baby . dylan stayed behind and saw all our buddies get ambushed . you never really get over something like that . it changes you . ashley : and so does the feeling that maybe you should have been there . instead of back home , you know , safe and sound . but then again , that gave you the opportunity to find out who you really are and what your true calling is . stitch : i was thinking the same thing . ashley : really ? stitch : yeah , after all the mistakes and wrong turns , i 'm -- i 've come full circle . i 'm right where i belong . victor : any questions ? abby : no , you were right . this material is very complete . although , i do want to remind the audience that soap is one of the many reasons our company exists . victor : one of the many reasons . plus , branching and banking and ship building and real estate and ... abby : well , your history is very incredible . and to think that it all started with you selling things out of your car . and that was the humble beginning of the empire known as newman - abbott today . victor : you gon na talk about that ? abby : i am . you know , i happen to be very proud of my dad and everything he 's accomplished . victor : and i 'm very proud of you , okay ? abby : thank you . you did n't think i had it in me , did you ? victor : i knew you had it in you . you just needed a chance to prove yourself . abby : well , it helps when the most important man in my life , the man that i admire most , believes in me , too . victoria : hi . hi , i 'm sorry i 'm late . victor : there you are . victoria : hello . abby : hi . finally . now dad can fill you in . victoria : fill me in on what ? victor : you two are gon na go to a conference in milwaukee and give a speech for newman . victoria : really ? victor : yeah . victoria : that 's great . but i thought that ed robertson was handling that . abby : last - minute emergency . victor : here are the credentials for both of you . and abby is familiarizing herself with the background . abby : there 's some great stuff in here . victoria : is this because i was late ? victor : no . nothing to do with that . victoria : dad , i know this product line backward and forward , and i have a working knowledge of surfactant chemistry . victor : my dear victoria , the people at the conference will be more than happy to see two beautiful ladies representing newman - abbott . and you will give some very good speeches , i am certain . i want you to be at that conference by noon today . billy : you 're not fooling anyone , victor . i know what you 're doing , and i know why . paul : back up a second . you 're telling me that noah 's new girlfriend is mixed up with marco annicelli . kevin : who she can place here in town at the time of the murders . paul : okay , so this , uh , marisa sierras ? kevin : sierras . paul : she claims she was in the car with marco annicelli when he drove it into the lake ? kevin : according to her , he was threatening to kill her when he lost control of the car . marisa survived , somehow made it into town . paul : she makes it into town and somehow noah comes to her rescue when he could n't save courtney . and this girl happens to get under his skin ? i 'm sure she was n't at all disappointed that he happened to be a newman . kevin : you 're good at this . should have been a cop . paul : right . what about the body ? kevin : there was no body . paul : what , just because it says that in the newspaper ? kevin : i rented some diving gear . i found the car . there was no body in it , which means annicelli 's out there planning his next move . paul : hold on a second . you rented scuba gear ? kevin , wo n't you ever learn ? kevin : i 've learned a lot . paul : well , then [ sighs ] ca n't you phrase it in a way that does n't make me upset ? kevin : everything is going through proper channels now . our divers confirmed -- there was no soggy corpse . paul : ah . thank you . kevin : you 're welcome . and harding knows everything that i know . in fact , he 's the one who told me to keep an eye on marisa , which is how i saw her having a meeting with victor in the park . paul : whoa . victor ? how is he involved in this ? kevin : he claims that he was just warning her to stay away from noah , but i think it runs deeper . who knows ? he could lead us right to marco . paul : okay , so in other words , victor knows more than he 's saying . again . sage : sorry about that . uh ... dylan : it 's okay . sage : just a little stressed out . this pregnancy takes a toll on you , you know ? dylan : mm - hmm . sage : how does sharon manage ? dylan : uh , believe it or not , i 've seen sharon burst into tears a few times just like you did . sage : no , you have n't . dylan : yes . sage : that 's good to know . thanks . but she 's a pro at this compared to me , you know ? i was told i could never have a kid . [ chuckles ] so unprepared . dylan : i never thought i could be a father , either . i 've come close . but it 's just never worked out . sage : guess we 've both been given a chance , huh ? sharon : does this remind you of something ? nick : you mean noah 's crib ? faith : did you put that together , too ? sharon : actually , your grandma nikki had a crib waiting here for us when we brought your brother home from the hospital . faith : he was a preemie , right ? nick : yep . mariah : i did n't know that . sharon : yeah . i remember holding him right here in this room , just being so thankful that our prayers had been answered and he survived . nick : he was so tiny . sharon : i 'll never forget it as long as i live . mariah : oh , um , geez , i almost forgot . i have to go meet kevin , but i hate to leave you guys hanging . nick : oh , no worries . i got this . mariah : okay , cool . um , all right . bye , squirt . faith : do n't call me `` squirt . `` mariah : oh , okay ... squirt . faith : [ grunts ] sharon : all right . you got that , sweetie ? nick : hey , be careful . you know , that 's -- that 's a little heavy . sharon : whoa . hey . whoops . sharon : i can take it from here . nick : yeah , sure , especially now that it 's almost done . sharon : well , there 's some optimism . nick : you know , if you have other things to do , i can wrap this up . sharon : without me ? faith : i do n't think so . nick : uh , you know what ? i do n't think they included enough washers , so why do n't you run upstairs to my toolbox -- it 's in the closet -- and see if there 's some in there ? faith : okay . sharon : we need to talk about this . nick : talk about what ? sharon : you know . what just happened . nick : nothing just happened . sharon : well , faith thinks ... nick : look , faith knows what 's up . all right , she is excited for your baby with dylan and the baby that i 'm gon na have with sage , especially now that we 're engaged . it 's all good . sharon : true . yeah , i know . i just do n't want faith getting the wrong idea . nick : you know what ? you 're right . you should be doing this with dylan . sage : after putting my life on hold for so long , i finally have everything i ever wanted . i have the man i love . i have a child i thought i never could have . dylan : but you ca n't help thinking the other shoe 's gon na drop . sage : it 's so stupid . dylan : no . sage : it 's so stupid . why am i doing that ? dylan : it 's not . but you got to try to stay positive . you have to imagine a happy outcome and just forget about everything else . sage : okay . dylan : [ chuckles ] sage : [ laughs ] mariah : well , is n't this nice ? you guys are enjoying the sunshine while other people are working . dylan : what are you talking about ? mariah : sharon and nick are putting the crib together , and , trust me , they could use some help . stitch : i used to feel a lot of survivor 's guilt , especially when dylan came home from afghanistan and i saw the demons he was still wrestling with . ashley : i bet you had demons , too . stitch : big ones . but i 've found that to get through that stuff , you always need someone to give you some help . like you did when you gave me a job when i was down . ashley : stop . [ laughs ] you deserved that paycheck . now you 're back doing what you should be , and i hope you know i 'm just really happy for you . dr. rayburn , the patient 's fever is spiking again . stitch : all right , i 'll be right there . ashley : um , i 'll get out of your hair . stitch : thanks for listening . ashley : oh , yeah . anytime . stitch : see you soon . take care . ashley : okay . billy : you 're not sending abby and victoria out of town for business reasons . you 're doing it to keep them safe until the police catch this annicelli guy . and for once , i actually agree with your tactics . victoria : is he right ? victor : my darling , i 'm very glad that you 're out of harm 's way . but this is an important conference . i 'm glad both of you represent our company . i have provided a limousine and some added security . abby : thank you for that . getting clocked over the head once was enough for me . so , i am gon na run by the hospital and tell ben that i 'm going out of town , and then i will be right back here . victor : okay , sweetheart . abby : sound good ? victoria : do you think this team thing is really necessary , dad ? victor : are you questioning my decision , darling ? billy : it just proves how vital you are to the company . victor : excuse me for a moment . darling , perhaps it 's time for you to start working on your speech . billy : hey , um , i 'll take care of the kids while you 're gone , but listen -- go , be great . victoria : i 'll try my best . billy : here 's the , uh , research on the biofuels market you wanted . victor : listen , billy boy . i know what you 're doing , and i do n't like it one bit . stitch : you need to rest now . james : i screwed up . stitch : what 's that ? james : i screwed up bad , doc .

well , at least he has you following marisa sierras . that 's more than i would have done . kevin : why ? because i do n't have a badge ? with all due respect , paul , that 's stupid . i could be helping so much more . paul : graduate from the academy , and we 'll talk . kevin : the academy would n't accept me with -- paul : why do you keep insisting on making harding the bad guy ? why do n't you just do what he asks and help him find annicelli ? mariah : what 's going on ? has a body floated up ? i thought we looked -- paul : oh , i see . kevin : mm . paul : so , it 's not enough that you have to play cop . you drag her into it . mariah : i was not dragged . i 'm not one to be dragged . i want your guys to find this slime so you can make him pay for what he 's put us through . paul : okay , why do n't you start out by helping harding ? at least he knows what he 's doing . kevin : yeah , that 's what i 'm afraid of . paul : okay , so what 's that supposed to mean ? kevin : it means i think your number - one detective is up to something . and if i were you , i would n't trust him so much . harding : i 'm innocent ! i swear ! christine : i did n't mean to accuse you . it 's just that paul is desperate to get back in the game , and i do n't want anyone feeding him information . harding : i swear we 're following your orders to the `` t. `` it is a bit uncomfortable , i got to tell you , hitting `` ignore `` every time the chief calls in for an update . christine : it 's all for his own good . he is so committed to this job , it put him in the hospital . he needs this time away . so , i am counting on you to run things and leave him out of it . harding : i promise i will run things exactly the way paul did . victoria : i want to rehearse my presentation before the conference begins . abby : uh , your presentation ? do n't you mean our presentation ? victoria : no , dad asked me to put my thoughts together . abby : dad expects us to work together , which does n't mean that you get to wow the crowd while i just stand there and look pretty . victoria : but that 's your thing . abby : oh , get over yourself . why do n't you just admit it ? you do n't want to work with me . victoria : okay . i admit it . i 'm not really thrilled that you 're tagging along . happy ? abby : oh , yeah , delirious . and for the record , i 'm not thrilled about sharing the spotlight with you , either . but we can either cooperate for the good of the company , or we can work against each other and make a fool out of ourselves , so what 's it gon na be ? victoria : i am not about to do anything to the detriment of newman - abbott . abby : then we 're on the same page . now , before we launch in , i have a burning question for you . victoria : oh , really ? about surfactants ? abby : [ scoffs ] about you and billy . yeah , i saw the way that he was looking at you this morning . like you had hit him over the head with a rock and he was mildly stunned . and you did stroll in a little late , so i 'm putting two and two together . victoria : why do n't we just focus on what we 're gon na say in front of hundreds of scientists and financial gurus downstairs ? abby : oh , my gosh . i am right . you are totally back together . victoria : we 're gon na take things slow . all right ? slow as -- as we need to , until i 'm sure . abby : but billy loves you to pieces . and you love him . victoria : he has issues , abby . abby : who does n't ? victoria : sometimes , he goes back to that dark place that he went to after delia died . and gabriel bingham brings it out in him . now that dad has hired him back at newman , i 'm worried . abby : about what ? victoria : that billy 's need to hate is stronger than his love for me . faith : high five . sage : yeah ! nick : oh , yeah . dylan : good job . sharon : aw , thanks , everyone , for helping out . faith : can i go play on my computer ? sharon : sure . you know what ? there 's also a mobile that goes with the crib . sage : oh , could i look ? sharon : yes , it 's so cute . i 'll show you . nick : you did a pretty good job , i guess . dylan : yeah , yeah , you too . i retract my butterfingers comment . nick : that is sporting of you . dylan : i guess a little competition brought out the best in both of us . nick : well , in faith 's eyes , you know , we 're all a family now . dylan : she 's right . sage : [ laughs ] sharon : i did n't know you were into running . sage : uh , well ... when dylan found me in the park , i was doing a little more resting than running and a little more crying than resting . sharon : hormones ? sage : hormones , anxiety , superstition . sharon : a little advice . these nine months are really precious . they 're gon na go by before you even know it . so do n't let your fears spoil it for you . just cherish every moment . paul : so , you want to tell me why i ca n't trust a cop i 've worked with for years ? kevin : yeah , it 's a gut instinct i have . paul : that 's it ? mariah : kevin has incredible instincts . if he says something is off about harding ... paul : i 'm not gon na question the character of an officer just because of your gut feeling . kevin : well , paul , at the very least , he 's after your job . the way he 's handling this case , like he wants all the glory for himself when it 's closed . paul : oh , i see . so i 'm supposed to , uh , be upset with a detective who 's doing everything he possibly can to solve multiple murders ? that is his job , kevin . and , you know , it 's the fact that i do n't have any caffeine now i think is , uh ... christine : hey . paul : ... really what 's made me more relaxed . christine : i really hope you are n't discussing the manhunt . paul : and yoga . kevin : no . no , not at all . mariah : no , no . uh , we were just watching paul chug his team and , actually , talking about ways that he can lower his blood pressure . christine : thank you for being such a good influence . mariah : you 're welcome . christine : ready for yoga ? paul : oh , yeah . ca n't wait . christine : see you guys . kevin : namaste . christine : [ chuckles ] come on . kevin : you heard the man . he wants proof . and we 're gon na get it . abby : billy has lost you too many times to make the same mistake again . you two are perfect for each other . in fact , i envy you . victoria : what about you and ben ? abby : [ sighs ] victoria : okay , look , if you do n't feel comfortable talking about it , we can just table the personal conversation , and we can get back to work . abby : no , um ... victoria : it 's fine . abby : the ben that i fell for was all about keeping me safe . and now that he 's been reinstated at the hospital , he is all about keeping his patients safe . victoria : yes , i know that . ben has always had a passion for helping people . that 's just who he is . abby : and i understand that . i would never want to change him , but i do n't want to change who i am , either , especially now that i 'm climbing up the corporate ladder . victoria : well , that is an important dynamic -- how much time you have in comparison with the other person and how much energy you have for a relationship . abby : so , how do you do it ? victoria : do what ? abby : be a high - powered newman and still find true love ? victor : how can my sensitive , beautiful , intelligent daughter fall again and again for that reprobate billy boy abbott ? ashley : i do n't know . the heart wants what the heart wants , i guess , and please do n't talk about my brother that way . where is everybody ? where 's the rest of the executive team ? victor : gabe and chelsea are out of town , and phyllis is with jack , and abby and victoria are giving a speech at the conference in milwaukee . ashley : so , why are n't i at that conference , as well ? victor : because i wanted to talk to you alone . ashley : okay , about what ? victor : about the paragon project . i do n't think it is your brother jack who wants to destroy me . i think it 's you . billy : [ sighs ] [ cell phone ringing ] victoria : ah , it 's billy . abby : answer it . victoria : no , we 're -- we 're rehearsing right now , so ... abby : so , answer the man 's call . victoria : [ sighs ] you found your phone . i knew you could do it . billy : yeah , it was , uh , under the couch cushions . victoria : ah . just where you left it , right ? billy : right . i know you 're busy , but i just wanted to let you know that i was thinking about you . victoria : yeah , me too . stitch : page me if there 's a change . oh , doctor . when the patient asked me to look through his pockets for his blood - pressure medication , i found this . stitch : purple heart . hell of an honor . he 's a marine , you know ? mm . stitch : these guys saw a lot of action in a hostile environment . did a lot of good for people over there . and back here , for that matter . [ monitor beeps rapidly ] stitch : cardiac arrest . get a crash team down here now . code 99 in room 217 . stitch : and his pulse is 20 . give him 5 cc iv epi now . yes , doctor . [ beeping continues ] stitch : come on . come on . come on . where 's that crash team ? he 's dropping . he 's dropping . we 're losing him . come on , james . come on , marine . nick : when should we start on our own nursery ? sage : uh , i have n't thought about , really . nick : really ? sage : okay , yes , i 've thought about it a lot . nick : [ laughs ] sage : i lied . i do n't know . i just feel like we 'd be tempting fate if we think too far ahead . nick : all right , well , we could hire a decorator , and then when you 're done having the baby , it 'll be good to go . sage : [ groans ] no ! that 's not fun . nick : there 's the spirit . sage : [ laughs ] there 's that store a couple blocks away that has that cute , little baby furniture in it . we could check it out . nick : there you go . well , let 's go take a look . sage : okay . nick : but listen . whatever we get , it 's already assembled . i 'm not doing that again . sage : [ laughing ] okay , deal . sharon : you okay ? dylan : yeah . sharon : does it bring back memories ? dylan : i was just thinking about all the new memories that we 're gon na make . was just imagining our child lying in there . looking up at me . that first look of wonder , the first smile . sharon : nothing else in life even comes close . dylan : i do n't think i 've been this happy . kevin : [ sighs ] harding : yeah , okay . all right , i know . yeah , i know the place . it 's the same place we always meet . ashley : the paragon project ? i 've never heard of it . it sounds like some kind of a sci - fi movie . victor : it 's a highly sophisticated scheme ... to topple me and my company , to ruin me financially , and to obliterate everything i 've built up for the last 35 years . ashley : i see . victor : so , all the bad blood that exists between your brother and me that culminated in that fateful meeting in the park , when we pointed guns at each other , i think , all goes back to that plot . ashley : okay . honestly , i ... do n't understand what you 're saying , but maybe you need to talk to jack about that , because i 've got real work to do . victor : i 've talked to jack 's wife about it . and she said that jack knows nothing about that scheme . which leaves the rest of the abbotts . my money is on you . [ next_on ] stitch : i ca n't talk to her the way i talk to you . nikki : i do n't want you manipulating me into changing my mind . is that understood ? hilary : you have n't been yourself ever since the bachelor party . can you just explain it to me , devon ? | sharon and nick get a little too close while trying to put together a crib for sharon and dylan 's baby . mariah goes to the park and finds dylan with sage . she suggests they go help sharon and nick . when they get there , they walk in on a sharon / nick embrace . ignoring the uncomfortable situation , they all decide to put the crib together . victor sends abby and victoria to milwaukee for a conference . victoria and abby continue to bicker until abby realizes that victoria and billy are back together . victoria says they are taking it slow because she is n't sure she can trust that billy 's love for her is stronger than his need to hate . victor tells ashley that he thinks she is the one behind the paragon project . ben worries about his patient , james , who is a marine and feels guilty that he came back alive and his men did n't . james goes into cardiac arrest . | <s>[INST] ashley : the look on your face -- i think i 'm glad that 's not my chart . stitch : [ sighs ] ashley , hey . how did it go with the neurologist ? ashley : really good . recovery 's right on track . you okay ? stitch : uh , it 's this patient i 'm treating . ashley : oh , say no more . i 'm sure it 's confidential , right ? stitch : actually , if you have a second , it 'd probably help to talk about it with you . victor : well , good morning . abby : why , yes , it is . victor : what 's this ? abby : those are the latest figures from our central warehouse . despite all the flak i took for negotiating a pay increase , worker morale and productivity are way up . victor : well , well , well , well , congratulations . i had no doubt you would succeed . are you ready for your next assignment ? abby : so ready . lay it on me . victor : i 'm sending you to the surfactants conference in milwaukee . you 'll represent newman - abbott very ably , i 'm sure , and talk in front of hundreds of people . how 's that ? abby : [ chuckles ] well , i feel as coo , i should feel bad that i do n't know what a surfactant is , but for some reason , i do n't . victor : the chemical building blocks of our soap industry , my darling . you just acquaint yourself with it , and i 'm sure that you will grasp it in no time at all . abby : i 'm sure i will , too . so , when is this conference ? victor : today . abby : [ laughs ] all right . well , great . victor : now , our senior vice president of engineering was supposed to do the presentation , but he ca n't be there because a family problem , so connie has all of his talking points , and i want you to familiarize yourself with them , okay ? abby : great . so , when do i leave ? victor : as soon as victoria arrives . abby : victoria . [ chuckles ] victor : yes . i want the two of you to go there , but why is she not here yet ? that 's unusual for her to be late . wonder what 's keeping her . victoria : do you want a refill ? billy : uh , no . no , i 'm good . victoria : it was nice waking up together this morning . billy : yeah , it was really nice . so , um , should we tell the kids ? victoria : tell the kids ? what are we gon na tell them ? there 's nothing to tell . billy : well , i would n't exactly call last night nothing . i mean ... victoria : [ laughs ] no , that 's not what i meant , billy . billy : i know . victoria : it 's just that we said , you know , that we were gon na take our time and ... oh , speaking of time , i 'm gon na be late for work . i 've got to go . billy : work can wait . victoria : not when you 're competing with your little sister . i am a newman , remember ? billy : now that you mention it , i do have vague recollection . victoria : [ chuckles ] billy : mm . victoria : mm . christine : [ gasps ] what ? ! paul : oh , come on . i was just trying to find the baseball scores . christine : oh , nice try . we agreed no newspapers , no stress , no police business . you are on a leave of absence . paul : okay . christine : which is why i brought you some herbal tea -- no caffeine . paul : thanks . [ both chuckle ] christine : so , are you ready for your first couples ' yoga class ? paul : um , yeah . yeah , i ca n't think of a better way to relax than to , uh , contort my body like a pretzel . christine : hmm . oh , come on . do n't you want to be around to take dylan and your future grandchild to a cubs game ? paul : oh , wow . you 're already pulling out the heavy guns , huh ? christine : i do n't want to lose you . paul : chris , you 're not gon na lose me . i 'm not going anywhere . [ cell phone chimes ] paul : but you might be . christine : whoever it is , is just gon na have to wait , because ... paul : work ? christine : uh , yeah . i promise i will be back as soon as i can . paul : well , you know what ? i 'm just going to be sitting here enjoying my herbal tea . christine : oh , that is such a good boy . paul : stress - free . christine : [ laughs ] paul : look at me . christine : thank you . i love it . paul : look at me relaxed . christine : yep . uh - huh . paul : oh ! kevin : hey , chief . paul : hey . perfect timing . sit down . okay , fill me in . i want to know exactly what 's going on . dylan : sage , you okay ? sage : oh , yeah . hey , dylan . i 'm fine . i was just jogging . i 'm fine . the baby 's fine . [ voice breaking ] everything 's fine . mariah : it says , `` line up the opposite corners with the bolt . `` what does that even mean ? sharon : um , not sure . faith : hi , mommy . sharon : hi , sweetie . how did it go at daddy 's ? faith : fine . we played games last night and had pancakes this morning . and now i 'm back . sharon : oh , well , that makes me very , very happy . thank you for letting her stay over an extra night . nick : you 're welcome . faith : what you doing ? sharon : well , mariah is helping me put together this crib for the baby . i wanted to have it all assembled before dylan got back from his run . mariah : which would be a breeze if the directions were n't written in swahili . sharon : [ chuckles ] faith : oh , this is easy . you just put part `` a `` in part `` b , `` part `` c `` into part `` d. `` and then you 'll be finished . sharon : mm . mariah : that 's it ? yeah ? faith : sure . after you do all the bolts and stuff . nick : i recommend you , you know , line up all the pieces first . sharon : well , we did n't ask you . nick : well , not yet , you have n't . sharon : [ laughs ] mariah : look , i suggest we try it faith 's way first . how about that ? sharon : okay . faith : so ... that . mariah : okay . now we lift it . i think ... sharon : yay ! mariah : that should be good . sharon : i think we did it . mariah : yeah . sharon : oh . faith : uh ... sharon : whoa . mariah : oh ! nick : yeah . stitch : it 's an old combat wound that never healed properly . he should have seen a doctor months ago , but he also has post - traumatic stress -- ca n't handle strangers touching him . ashley : oh . stitch : so , the idea of going in and getting treated -- ashley : is pretty much out of the question ? stitch : pretty much . ashley : i bet it was a reminder , too , for you . of all the soldiers that came back with scars . some you can see , and some you ca n't . stitch : yeah , i saw a lot of pain as a medic . but i missed the worst of it because i was , you know , on leave to meet my new baby . dylan stayed behind and saw all our buddies get ambushed . you never really get over something like that . it changes you . ashley : and so does the feeling that maybe you should have been there . instead of back home , you know , safe and sound . but then again , that gave you the opportunity to find out who you really are and what your true calling is . stitch : i was thinking the same thing . ashley : really ? stitch : yeah , after all the mistakes and wrong turns , i 'm -- i 've come full circle . i 'm right where i belong . victor : any questions ? abby : no , you were right . this material is very complete . although , i do want to remind the audience that soap is one of the many reasons our company exists . victor : one of the many reasons . plus , branching and banking and ship building and real estate and ... abby : well , your history is very incredible . and to think that it all started with you selling things out of your car . and that was the humble beginning of the empire known as newman - abbott today . victor : you gon na talk about that ? abby : i am . you know , i happen to be very proud of my dad and everything he 's accomplished . victor : and i 'm very proud of you , okay ? abby : thank you . you did n't think i had it in me , did you ? victor : i knew you had it in you . you just needed a chance to prove yourself . abby : well , it helps when the most important man in my life , the man that i admire most , believes in me , too . victoria : hi . hi , i 'm sorry i 'm late . victor : there you are . victoria : hello . abby : hi . finally . now dad can fill you in . victoria : fill me in on what ? victor : you two are gon na go to a conference in milwaukee and give a speech for newman . victoria : really ? victor : yeah . victoria : that 's great . but i thought that ed robertson was handling that . abby : last - minute emergency . victor : here are the credentials for both of you . and abby is familiarizing herself with the background . abby : there 's some great stuff in here . victoria : is this because i was late ? victor : no . nothing to do with that . victoria : dad , i know this product line backward and forward , and i have a working knowledge of surfactant chemistry . victor : my dear victoria , the people at the conference will be more than happy to see two beautiful ladies representing newman - abbott . and you will give some very good speeches , i am certain . i want you to be at that conference by noon today . billy : you 're not fooling anyone , victor . i know what you 're doing , and i know why . paul : back up a second . you 're telling me that noah 's new girlfriend is mixed up with marco annicelli . kevin : who she can place here in town at the time of the murders . paul : okay , so this , uh , marisa sierras ? kevin : sierras . paul : she claims she was in the car with marco annicelli when he drove it into the lake ? kevin : according to her , he was threatening to kill her when he lost control of the car . marisa survived , somehow made it into town . paul : she makes it into town and somehow noah comes to her rescue when he could n't save courtney . and this girl happens to get under his skin ? i 'm sure she was n't at all disappointed that he happened to be a newman . kevin : you 're good at this . should have been a cop . paul : right . what about the body ? kevin : there was no body . paul : what , just because it says that in the newspaper ? kevin : i rented some diving gear . i found the car . there was no body in it , which means annicelli 's out there planning his next move . paul : hold on a second . you rented scuba gear ? kevin , wo n't you ever learn ? kevin : i 've learned a lot . paul : well , then [ sighs ] ca n't you phrase it in a way that does n't make me upset ? kevin : everything is going through proper channels now . our divers confirmed -- there was no soggy corpse . paul : ah . thank you . kevin : you 're welcome . and harding knows everything that i know . in fact , he 's the one who told me to keep an eye on marisa , which is how i saw her having a meeting with victor in the park . paul : whoa . victor ? how is he involved in this ? kevin : he claims that he was just warning her to stay away from noah , but i think it runs deeper . who knows ? he could lead us right to marco . paul : okay , so in other words , victor knows more than he 's saying . again . sage : sorry about that . uh ... dylan : it 's okay . sage : just a little stressed out . this pregnancy takes a toll on you , you know ? dylan : mm - hmm . sage : how does sharon manage ? dylan : uh , believe it or not , i 've seen sharon burst into tears a few times just like you did . sage : no , you have n't . dylan : yes . sage : that 's good to know . thanks . but she 's a pro at this compared to me , you know ? i was told i could never have a kid . [ chuckles ] so unprepared . dylan : i never thought i could be a father , either . i 've come close . but it 's just never worked out . sage : guess we 've both been given a chance , huh ? sharon : does this remind you of something ? nick : you mean noah 's crib ? faith : did you put that together , too ? sharon : actually , your grandma nikki had a crib waiting here for us when we brought your brother home from the hospital . faith : he was a preemie , right ? nick : yep . mariah : i did n't know that . sharon : yeah . i remember holding him right here in this room , just being so thankful that our prayers had been answered and he survived . nick : he was so tiny . sharon : i 'll never forget it as long as i live . mariah : oh , um , geez , i almost forgot . i have to go meet kevin , but i hate to leave you guys hanging . nick : oh , no worries . i got this . mariah : okay , cool . um , all right . bye , squirt . faith : do n't call me `` squirt . `` mariah : oh , okay ... squirt . faith : [ grunts ] sharon : all right . you got that , sweetie ? nick : hey , be careful . you know , that 's -- that 's a little heavy . sharon : whoa . hey . whoops . sharon : i can take it from here . nick : yeah , sure , especially now that it 's almost done . sharon : well , there 's some optimism . nick : you know , if you have other things to do , i can wrap this up . sharon : without me ? faith : i do n't think so . nick : uh , you know what ? i do n't think they included enough washers , so why do n't you run upstairs to my toolbox -- it 's in the closet -- and see if there 's some in there ? faith : okay . sharon : we need to talk about this . nick : talk about what ? sharon : you know . what just happened . nick : nothing just happened . sharon : well , faith thinks ... nick : look , faith knows what 's up . all right , she is excited for your baby with dylan and the baby that i 'm gon na have with sage , especially now that we 're engaged . it 's all good . sharon : true . yeah , i know . i just do n't want faith getting the wrong idea . nick : you know what ? you 're right . you should be doing this with dylan . sage : after putting my life on hold for so long , i finally have everything i ever wanted . i have the man i love . i have a child i thought i never could have . dylan : but you ca n't help thinking the other shoe 's gon na drop . sage : it 's so stupid . dylan : no . sage : it 's so stupid . why am i doing that ? dylan : it 's not . but you got to try to stay positive . you have to imagine a happy outcome and just forget about everything else . sage : okay . dylan : [ chuckles ] sage : [ laughs ] mariah : well , is n't this nice ? you guys are enjoying the sunshine while other people are working . dylan : what are you talking about ? mariah : sharon and nick are putting the crib together , and , trust me , they could use some help . stitch : i used to feel a lot of survivor 's guilt , especially when dylan came home from afghanistan and i saw the demons he was still wrestling with . ashley : i bet you had demons , too . stitch : big ones . but i 've found that to get through that stuff , you always need someone to give you some help . like you did when you gave me a job when i was down . ashley : stop . [ laughs ] you deserved that paycheck . now you 're back doing what you should be , and i hope you know i 'm just really happy for you . dr. rayburn , the patient 's fever is spiking again . stitch : all right , i 'll be right there . ashley : um , i 'll get out of your hair . stitch : thanks for listening . ashley : oh , yeah . anytime . stitch : see you soon . take care . ashley : okay . billy : you 're not sending abby and victoria out of town for business reasons . you 're doing it to keep them safe until the police catch this annicelli guy . and for once , i actually agree with your tactics . victoria : is he right ? victor : my darling , i 'm very glad that you 're out of harm 's way . but this is an important conference . i 'm glad both of you represent our company . i have provided a limousine and some added security . abby : thank you for that . getting clocked over the head once was enough for me . so , i am gon na run by the hospital and tell ben that i 'm going out of town , and then i will be right back here . victor : okay , sweetheart . abby : sound good ? victoria : do you think this team thing is really necessary , dad ? victor : are you questioning my decision , darling ? billy : it just proves how vital you are to the company . victor : excuse me for a moment . darling , perhaps it 's time for you to start working on your speech . billy : hey , um , i 'll take care of the kids while you 're gone , but listen -- go , be great . victoria : i 'll try my best . billy : here 's the , uh , research on the biofuels market you wanted . victor : listen , billy boy . i know what you 're doing , and i do n't like it one bit . stitch : you need to rest now . james : i screwed up . stitch : what 's that ? james : i screwed up bad , doc . [ sighs ] stitch : it 's not your fault , james . you had enough needles and hospitals over there . i ca n't blame you for wanting to steer clear . james : i mean i should have done more . for them . for my men . i lost too many of them . and i got to come home . [ sighs ] stitch : hey , you listen to me , marine . it 's not your fault that you lived . but it could be your fault if you do n't make the most of it . not just for you , for them . you hear me ? james : [ sighs ] abby : hey ! there you are . i wanted -- mwah ! -- to say goodbye before my big trip . stitch : uh , trip ? abby : dad is sending victoria and i to this important conference , and we are giving this big presentation together . do n't worry . he 's hired extra security , so we will be safe . stitch : sorry , worry ? abby : marco annicelli -- they thought he might be dead , but it turns out he is n't . there 's a big manhunt . it 's been all over the news . [ laughs ] stitch : uh , sorry , i 'm just -- i 'm pretty distracted at the moment . abby : no kidding . is everything okay ? stitch : i 'm worried about this patient i 'm treating . guy 's a vet . served just south of where i did . abby : i 'm sure you 're doing everything you can . but , um , in the meantime , do you want to wish me luck ? stitch : good luck , and have a safe trip . abby : thank you . i will call you tonight . um , or you could call me . i would love that . billy : what ? what 's the problem ? victor : do n't ever walk through that door again unannounced . billy : victor , i work here . i was bring a report that you asked for . victor : i said do n't waltz in here again unannounced . you got it ? billy : yeah . fine . victor : you 're getting too close to victoria again . billy : maybe . not that you get a vote . victor : you bet . i do n't like it . and you will regret it . billy : is that a threat ? victor : do you think i 'm gon na allow my daughter to be dragged down into that dysfunctional world of yours ? billy : [ scoffs ] that 's funny . you know , i would choose my dysfunction over yours any day . i do n't control people in the name of protecting them . victor : get out , billy boy . out ! billy : gladly -- when you get out of victoria 's life . victor : get out now . ashley : okay , everybody can hear you . stop yelling . victor : just get out . billy : you know , the more you claim to love someone , the more that you force them to bend to your will . victor : i said get out ! billy : she does n't need you . victor : she certainly does not need you . ashley : oh , boy . sharon : look , what happened here -- or did n't happen -- is just a sign that people can have a history together and not feel trapped by it and not be doomed to repeat it . nick : that 's a good way to look at it . we 're getting a fresh start , creating new families without leaving our other family behind . sharon : is that what we are to you now ? your other family ? nick : hey , you 're with dylan , so i 'm your other family , too . sharon : i guess so . nick : all right , uh ... i 'm out of here . good luck putting this beast together . sharon : oh , okay . you 're gon na take off . way to bail , newman . nick : ah , do n't worry . faith 's got it under control . sharon : [ laughs ] [ door opens ] dylan : it 's funny who you meet when you 're out jogging . sage : hi , sharon . sharon : sage . nick : hey , you . sage : hey . dylan : yeah , first , i , uh , ran into sage , and then mariah passed by and said you guys might need help putting ... a crib together . wonder where she got that idea . sharon : well , i wanted it to be a surprise , but all we did was make a mess . faith : here 's the washers daddy needed . is everybody gon na help ? nick : you know , i think , uh -- i think sage and i are gon na take off , let you three finish this project . faith : what ? dylan : well , maybe if we worked on it together , we could get it done faster . what do you think ? nick : you , uh , cool with that ? dylan : well , you know , i made , uh , connor 's crib by hand , so a kit like this should be a no - brainer . stick around , butterfingers . i 'm gon na show you how it 's done . sharon : [ laughs ] nick : `` butterfingers `` ? [ laughter ] sharon : you gon na let him talk to you like that , nick ? nick : it 's on . sharon : [ laughs ] sage : i bet that we can get our half together before they even get started . what do you say , faith ? you want to referee ? faith : yeah ! nick : count her down , kiddo . faith : here . nick : all right . dylan : wait . nick : yep . sorry . [ laughter ] faith : ready , set , go ! nick : hand me the wrench . dylan : okay . hold that . sharon : all right , come on , come on , come on . nick : i know . butterfingers . paul : you know , i hate being sidelined when there 's a killer out there . kevin : yeah , i know the feeling . harding 's giving me busywork . it 's like he 's deliberately trying to keep me from the investigation . paul : really ? well , at least he has you following marisa sierras . that 's more than i would have done . kevin : why ? because i do n't have a badge ? with all due respect , paul , that 's stupid . i could be helping so much more . paul : graduate from the academy , and we 'll talk . kevin : the academy would n't accept me with -- paul : why do you keep insisting on making harding the bad guy ? why do n't you just do what he asks and help him find annicelli ? mariah : what 's going on ? has a body floated up ? i thought we looked -- paul : oh , i see . kevin : mm . paul : so , it 's not enough that you have to play cop . you drag her into it . mariah : i was not dragged . i 'm not one to be dragged . i want your guys to find this slime so you can make him pay for what he 's put us through . paul : okay , why do n't you start out by helping harding ? at least he knows what he 's doing . kevin : yeah , that 's what i 'm afraid of . paul : okay , so what 's that supposed to mean ? kevin : it means i think your number - one detective is up to something . and if i were you , i would n't trust him so much . harding : i 'm innocent ! i swear ! christine : i did n't mean to accuse you . it 's just that paul is desperate to get back in the game , and i do n't want anyone feeding him information . harding : i swear we 're following your orders to the `` t. `` it is a bit uncomfortable , i got to tell you , hitting `` ignore `` every time the chief calls in for an update . christine : it 's all for his own good . he is so committed to this job , it put him in the hospital . he needs this time away . so , i am counting on you to run things and leave him out of it . harding : i promise i will run things exactly the way paul did . victoria : i want to rehearse my presentation before the conference begins . abby : uh , your presentation ? do n't you mean our presentation ? victoria : no , dad asked me to put my thoughts together . abby : dad expects us to work together , which does n't mean that you get to wow the crowd while i just stand there and look pretty . victoria : but that 's your thing . abby : oh , get over yourself . why do n't you just admit it ? you do n't want to work with me . victoria : okay . i admit it . i 'm not really thrilled that you 're tagging along . happy ? abby : oh , yeah , delirious . and for the record , i 'm not thrilled about sharing the spotlight with you , either . but we can either cooperate for the good of the company , or we can work against each other and make a fool out of ourselves , so what 's it gon na be ? victoria : i am not about to do anything to the detriment of newman - abbott . abby : then we 're on the same page . now , before we launch in , i have a burning question for you . victoria : oh , really ? about surfactants ? abby : [ scoffs ] about you and billy . yeah , i saw the way that he was looking at you this morning . like you had hit him over the head with a rock and he was mildly stunned . and you did stroll in a little late , so i 'm putting two and two together . victoria : why do n't we just focus on what we 're gon na say in front of hundreds of scientists and financial gurus downstairs ? abby : oh , my gosh . i am right . you are totally back together . victoria : we 're gon na take things slow . all right ? slow as -- as we need to , until i 'm sure . abby : but billy loves you to pieces . and you love him . victoria : he has issues , abby . abby : who does n't ? victoria : sometimes , he goes back to that dark place that he went to after delia died . and gabriel bingham brings it out in him . now that dad has hired him back at newman , i 'm worried . abby : about what ? victoria : that billy 's need to hate is stronger than his love for me . faith : high five . sage : yeah ! nick : oh , yeah . dylan : good job . sharon : aw , thanks , everyone , for helping out . faith : can i go play on my computer ? sharon : sure . you know what ? there 's also a mobile that goes with the crib . sage : oh , could i look ? sharon : yes , it 's so cute . i 'll show you . nick : you did a pretty good job , i guess . dylan : yeah , yeah , you too . i retract my butterfingers comment . nick : that is sporting of you . dylan : i guess a little competition brought out the best in both of us . nick : well , in faith 's eyes , you know , we 're all a family now . dylan : she 's right . sage : [ laughs ] sharon : i did n't know you were into running . sage : uh , well ... when dylan found me in the park , i was doing a little more resting than running and a little more crying than resting . sharon : hormones ? sage : hormones , anxiety , superstition . sharon : a little advice . these nine months are really precious . they 're gon na go by before you even know it . so do n't let your fears spoil it for you . just cherish every moment . paul : so , you want to tell me why i ca n't trust a cop i 've worked with for years ? kevin : yeah , it 's a gut instinct i have . paul : that 's it ? mariah : kevin has incredible instincts . if he says something is off about harding ... paul : i 'm not gon na question the character of an officer just because of your gut feeling . kevin : well , paul , at the very least , he 's after your job . the way he 's handling this case , like he wants all the glory for himself when it 's closed . paul : oh , i see . so i 'm supposed to , uh , be upset with a detective who 's doing everything he possibly can to solve multiple murders ? that is his job , kevin . and , you know , it 's the fact that i do n't have any caffeine now i think is , uh ... christine : hey . paul : ... really what 's made me more relaxed . christine : i really hope you are n't discussing the manhunt . paul : and yoga . kevin : no . no , not at all . mariah : no , no . uh , we were just watching paul chug his team and , actually , talking about ways that he can lower his blood pressure . christine : thank you for being such a good influence . mariah : you 're welcome . christine : ready for yoga ? paul : oh , yeah . ca n't wait . christine : see you guys . kevin : namaste . christine : [ chuckles ] come on . kevin : you heard the man . he wants proof . and we 're gon na get it . abby : billy has lost you too many times to make the same mistake again . you two are perfect for each other . in fact , i envy you . victoria : what about you and ben ? abby : [ sighs ] victoria : okay , look , if you do n't feel comfortable talking about it , we can just table the personal conversation , and we can get back to work . abby : no , um ... victoria : it 's fine . abby : the ben that i fell for was all about keeping me safe . and now that he 's been reinstated at the hospital , he is all about keeping his patients safe . victoria : yes , i know that . ben has always had a passion for helping people . that 's just who he is . abby : and i understand that . i would never want to change him , but i do n't want to change who i am , either , especially now that i 'm climbing up the corporate ladder . victoria : well , that is an important dynamic -- how much time you have in comparison with the other person and how much energy you have for a relationship . abby : so , how do you do it ? victoria : do what ? abby : be a high - powered newman and still find true love ? victor : how can my sensitive , beautiful , intelligent daughter fall again and again for that reprobate billy boy abbott ? ashley : i do n't know . the heart wants what the heart wants , i guess , and please do n't talk about my brother that way . where is everybody ? where 's the rest of the executive team ? victor : gabe and chelsea are out of town , and phyllis is with jack , and abby and victoria are giving a speech at the conference in milwaukee . ashley : so , why are n't i at that conference , as well ?

[ scene_break ] marty : sweetie , why would you bring up todd manning , of all people ? cole : because the reason starr 's dad went to chicago and is now missing is this guy . he gave mr. manning some bogus clue about his son , and that clue came from -- spencer truman . miles ' voice : you have two choices , marty . you give yourself up and your freedom and your son , or you marry me and everybody wins . marty : the police have already questioned miles , and they are satisfied that there 's no connection between todd 's disappearance and the tip that miles gave him . do n't you think we have enough to deal with right now without bringing starr 's family into it ? cole : oh , yeah . we have enough to deal with all right , because the more i think about it , the more i 'm sure that the only way this guy got you to marry him is by threatening you with something , and you two are going to stop lying to me and tell me what that could be . miles : why do n't you tell your son the truth , marty ? [ scene_break ] john : you know , i almost buy vickers doing a murder - for - hire . slicing up his own brother , though ? dorian : david agreed to kill his brother . somebody else beat him to it . john : and he confessed anyway to get the payoff . dorian : precisely . john : payable upon his release from prison . dorian : yeah , and knowing david , he probably got his benefactor to put the money in an offshore , interest - bearing account . that way , it would be worth even more once he was released . john : how very savvy of him . dorian : hmm . i taught him everything he knows . john : and now , you 're here to turn in the person who hired him . dorian : this is about justice . there is a killer running around free , and although i personally think that person did the world a great favor , i simply could n't live with myself if i let them get away with it . john : since when ? dorian : i 've changed . i 'm in a relationship with clint buchanan and it 's made me rethink my priorities . john : hey , that 's nice . that 's really nice . you know , i have a theory . dorian : tell me what it is . john : it 's you . dorian : i beg your pardon ? john : it 's you . you hired vickers to kill truman , and then when you found out he did n't do it , now you want a rebate . dorian : if i wanted spencer dead that badly , i would 've done it myself . john : either way -- if i find out you 're behind this , you and vickers will be comparing cells from now to the end of time .

[ scene_break ] dorian : if david needed money , i would give it to him freely . i would n't exact a murder for it . and i certainly would n't come here , confess and throw myself on your mercy . john : why are you here ? dorian : because i can not stand to see an innocent man rotting away in prison . john : well , it took you long enough to come forward . dorian : that 's because i did n't know who the real killer was until now . do you want to know or not ? john : oh , this ought to be rich . dorian : you 're not going to be so complacent when you find out who it is . john : why is that ? dorian : because you know her . john : `` her `` ? dorian : marty saybrooke . she 's the homicidal maniac who stabbed spencer truman to death . john : marty saybrooke ? how the hell did you come up with that one ? dorian : david told me . john : david told you ? the man who lied about killing someone for money told you who the real murderer was ? dorian : marty saybrooke told him so herself a couple of days ago . john : marty went to see vickers ? dorian : yes . she wanted to know why he would confess to a crime he did not commit . how would she know that unless she knew who the real killer was herself ? john : i tell you , this has been the strangest day . dorian : does that mean you believe me ? john : it means i 'll look into it . dorian : i came to you because you 're very smart and you 're very good at what you do . and no matter what the crime or who the guilty party is , you will always do the right thing . and i know you are not going to allow an innocent man to rot in prison . john : but it 's vickers . dorian : i do n't care what you do to marty saybrooke . but please , get david out of that hellhole before something happens to him .

[ scene_break ] nash : well , you 're looking better than you did earlier . i 'm glad . antonio : i 've said everything i have to say , nash . nash : yeah . uh -- jessica wants to come talk to you . doctors gave her permission to come here for a couple of minutes , her dad is pushing her here now . i just wanted to make sure you 'd allow it , because if you wo n't allow it , i could head them off at the pass . antonio : i do n't want to hear anything she has to say . nash : i think she wants to thank you . antonio : yeah , well , i do n't want any gratitude , not from her or anybody . right now , i just want to get out of here and get back to work and take care of my daughter . nash : was that a yes or a no ? [ knock on door ] nash : oh . jessica : can i have a few minutes alone with antonio , please ? clint : all right , i 'll have nash bring you back . honey , i 'm going to go home and check on your grandpa , ok ? jessica : ok . clint : antonio , i 'm glad you 're better . nash : i 'll be outside . jessica : i know that you -- you do n't want to see me . but i -- i had to come and see you . i just -- i wanted to make sure that you 're ok . and i thought that maybe we could talk for a little while . [ scene_break ] starr : well , i 've been -- blair : what ? starr : going on the internet and looking at websites to see if i could help find dad . blair : what kind of websites ? starr : well , there 's , you know , the missing persons sites and -- blair : yeah ? starr : um , the police department logs . and they have this thing where if people forget who they are and wander around , sometimes you can , like -- you can claim them on the website . blair : mm - hmm . starr : there 's been a lot of different things that i 've found . blair : did you find anything out ? starr : no , but -- but at least i 'm trying , right ? blair : yeah , yeah . it 's great . starr : yeah . it -- it ca n't hurt , right ? blair : no . you know what ? i found out something today , something that kind of proves that miles laurence is up to something . starr : yeah -- what ? blair : it 's probably going to be around school anyway , so i 'm going to go and tell you . get this -- miles laurence married marty saybrooke , right out of the blue . they went off to vegas and got hitched . starr : wow , that 's crazy . she does n't seem like the type . blair : no . she 's not , which means there 's more to it than meets the eye . [ scene_break ] marty : sweetie , why would you bring up todd manning , of all people ? cole : because the reason starr 's dad went to chicago and is now missing is this guy . he gave mr. manning some bogus clue about his son , and that clue came from -- spencer truman . miles ' voice : you have two choices , marty . you give yourself up and your freedom and your son , or you marry me and everybody wins . marty : the police have already questioned miles , and they are satisfied that there 's no connection between todd 's disappearance and the tip that miles gave him . do n't you think we have enough to deal with right now without bringing starr 's family into it ? cole : oh , yeah . we have enough to deal with all right , because the more i think about it , the more i 'm sure that the only way this guy got you to marry him is by threatening you with something , and you two are going to stop lying to me and tell me what that could be . miles : why do n't you tell your son the truth , marty ? [ scene_break ] john : you know , i almost buy vickers doing a murder - for - hire . slicing up his own brother , though ? dorian : david agreed to kill his brother . somebody else beat him to it . john : and he confessed anyway to get the payoff . dorian : precisely . john : payable upon his release from prison . dorian : yeah , and knowing david , he probably got his benefactor to put the money in an offshore , interest - bearing account . that way , it would be worth even more once he was released . john : how very savvy of him . dorian : hmm . i taught him everything he knows . john : and now , you 're here to turn in the person who hired him . dorian : this is about justice . there is a killer running around free , and although i personally think that person did the world a great favor , i simply could n't live with myself if i let them get away with it . john : since when ? dorian : i 've changed . i 'm in a relationship with clint buchanan and it 's made me rethink my priorities . john : hey , that 's nice . that 's really nice . you know , i have a theory . dorian : tell me what it is . john : it 's you . dorian : i beg your pardon ? john : it 's you . you hired vickers to kill truman , and then when you found out he did n't do it , now you want a rebate . dorian : if i wanted spencer dead that badly , i would 've done it myself . john : either way -- if i find out you 're behind this , you and vickers will be comparing cells from now to the end of time . [ scene_break ] nash : so , really , how 's antonio doing ? you talk to his doctors ? cristian : well , they think they have the infection under control . nash : how about the two of you ? cristian : well , he 's not yelling at me or kicking me out of his room anymore , so i guess that 's progress . nash : i am very sorry for having dragged you into the middle of jessica and i . cristian : what 's done is done . i mean , i still want to kick your ass from here to pittsburgh , but what would be the point , right ? nash : wonder how they 're doing in there . jessica : i 'm alive because of you . and when i heard that you were n't doing well , it -- it broke my heart . jessica : i guess the only good thing that happened during the bombing is we both slept through it , right ? antonio : you can sleep through anything -- earthquakes , hurricanes . look . you saw me , i 'm fine . you do n't need to be guilty . focus on taking care of yourself and getting stronger so you can take care of bree . jessica : no . antonio , i do n't want to lose you . i 'm worried about you .

[ scene_break ] marty : miles is going to give us a good life . that 's all . miles : cole , i understand that this has been a shock and -- and for that , i 'm truly sorry . and i hope you know that i will never try to be a replacement for your father . cole : what ? that would never happen no matter what you tried . miles : i -- i just want to ask you for a chance . maybe you 'll like me in time . cole , i want you to know that i love your mother will all of my heart , and i would move heaven and earth to make the two of you happy . i never had a family or a home . thanks to your mother , it may not be too late . well , i -- i guess the next thing to discuss is where we 're going to live . [ scene_break ] dorian : if david needed money , i would give it to him freely . i would n't exact a murder for it . and i certainly would n't come here , confess and throw myself on your mercy . john : why are you here ? dorian : because i can not stand to see an innocent man rotting away in prison . john : well , it took you long enough to come forward . dorian : that 's because i did n't know who the real killer was until now . do you want to know or not ? john : oh , this ought to be rich . dorian : you 're not going to be so complacent when you find out who it is . john : why is that ? dorian : because you know her . john : `` her `` ? dorian : marty saybrooke . she 's the homicidal maniac who stabbed spencer truman to death . john : marty saybrooke ? how the hell did you come up with that one ? dorian : david told me . john : david told you ? the man who lied about killing someone for money told you who the real murderer was ? dorian : marty saybrooke told him so herself a couple of days ago . john : marty went to see vickers ? dorian : yes . she wanted to know why he would confess to a crime he did not commit . how would she know that unless she knew who the real killer was herself ? john : i tell you , this has been the strangest day . dorian : does that mean you believe me ? john : it means i 'll look into it . dorian : i came to you because you 're very smart and you 're very good at what you do . and no matter what the crime or who the guilty party is , you will always do the right thing . and i know you are not going to allow an innocent man to rot in prison . john : but it 's vickers . dorian : i do n't care what you do to marty saybrooke . but please , get david out of that hellhole before something happens to him . [ scene_break ] cole : this is our home , mine and my mom 's . miles : although i did consider getting a larger suite at the palace , i realized that , so i thought better of it . cole : i 'm not moving . miles : i 'll get my bag . cole : whew . this is so not right . marty : i 'm going to go clear some space in the closet .

maybe i do need to believe you 're not going anywhere , but it has absolutely nothing to do with gabriel . you and i could have died in that fire , and , yeah , i was the one who got trapped , but it could have just as easily been you , and the entire time i was thinking , `` why did n't you tell her how serious you are about her ?

phyllis : maybe she 's blaming herself for the affair . maybe she 's thinking that it set off some awful series of events . i do n't know . nick : austin is to blame for the affair ! phyllis : okay , you and i know that , but summer is naive about a lot of things still . she went into this marriage thinking that love could conquer all . nick : well , it 's just a shame she had to find out so soon it 's all just a myth . phyllis : i 'm still hoping there 's some truth to that . nick : why do n't you go home , okay ?

of course , she has n't had the best parental role models . speaking of victor ... how is your new - found friendship going , anyway ? have you planned any fun outings , like maybe going to the movies , because i 'm sure victor would share his popcorn with you . jack : oh , so that 's what that was about . abby : what ? jack : you 're concerned about my new allegiance with victor , so you 're hiding your work . you do n't trust me in this state - of - the - art lab that i paid for . ashley : that 's not exactly it , jack . jack : i know what i saw . you were shuffling around your notes when i walked in here . let me remind you , i run this place . if i want to know what 's going on here , i deserve some answers . ashley : well , you know what ? you 're really interested in my research projects -- why do n't you submit a request ? how about that ? jack : that is not what i 'm talking about and you know it . we have always been open with each other about business . ashley : oh , have we always been open , jack ? we 've just always been open . jack : when it 's prudent , yes . ashley : well , guess what ? i 'm being prudent right now . you have been acting erratically . jack : you do n't trust me ? ashley : i have been to hell and back because of this fragrance . and you have not been acting like yourself . and i do not trust victor . jack : well , you 'll be glad to know victor and i are only working together to help phyllis . ashley : maybe that 's why you 're working with him . when it comes to victor , his agenda always has another agenda behind the agenda . jack : that 's not news to me . look , i was a little surprised when he called a truce so quickly in our hospital room . that was before i saw him in the hospital chapel , coming out of the confessional . ashley : victor confessing his sins ? i 'm surprised that the building did n't explode into flames from a lightning bolt . jack : i do n't think he was confessing . more like conferring . the question is about what and with whom ? victor : you either drop these ridiculous charges or you take yourself off this case . you ca n't possibly be objective . nikki : if only i could just see christine and let her know how sorry i am . paul : take mrs. newman to her cell . victor : are you serious ? that 's not going to happen . the judge agreed to bail . and i 've already posted it . nikki : [ sighs ] victor : why , thank you for showing up , anderson . officer , take those cuffs off my wife . nikki : [ clears throat ] victor : nikki and i will go home now . i suggest you visit your wife in the hospital . let 's get out of here . paul : this is n't over , victor . adam : engaged ? that is quite an announcement . sage : that is wonderful news . billy : and you know what ? it 's all thanks to you , gabe . adam : thanks to me ? billy : yeah . yeah , you gave me that push that i needed when you dragged me out of the burning building . i realized that i wanted to spend the rest of my life with chelsea , so thank you for , well , for the inspiration . adam : well , you are -- it 's just -- you 're welcome . sage : your ring is really gorgeous . chelsea : it is , is n't it ? i could n't have designed a better one myself . adam : pretty . looks like your fiancé got the size wrong , though . billy : we can fix that . chelsea : you mean like right now ? billy : yeah , we got time before the jeweler 's closes . we would n't want that to fall off your finger , would we ? adam : no , we would n't want that -- would n't want that to fall off . billy : so , have a good night , guys . chelsea : bye , guys . adam : big news ! congratulations ! chelsea : bye . so ... billy is so great . thanks for nothing . sage : excuse me ? adam : you tell chelsea i have feelings for her and this is the result ? you did everything but push them together , sage . sage : they are together . and if you do n't come to terms with that , you 're gon na ruin this for both of us . nikki : oh , it is so good to be home . i was beginning to think it would be a long time before i ever saw it again . victor : well , sweetheart , come here . i promise you you 're not gon na spend one night in jail . nikki : i know that you believe that . i thank you for wanting to protect me , but sometimes things happen that we ca n't control , we ca n't predict . victor : well , i know . but you 'll be all right , okay ? nikki : yeah , well , paul and christine wo n't be . victor : i know , i know , i know , i know , i know . i feel absolutely terrible . to lose a child like that is just ... unimaginable . but , you know , time heals all wounds . they 'll get over it and you 'll get over it , too , okay ? let me handle things . nikki : i do n't know . victor : come here . phyllis : sorry to interrupt . i 'm gon na grab some things upstairs and i 'll be out of your way . nikki : oh , no , phyllis , i 'm glad you 're here . you can keep victor company while i go upstairs to rest . victor : sweetheart , you call me if you need anything . nikki : i will . victor : [ sighs ] phyllis : should i ask ? victor : there was an accident . christine ran in front of nikki 's car . phyllis : oh , that 's a -- you 're joking . victor : i 'm not joking about a thing like that . christine is all right but unfortunately they lost the baby . and now christine is determined to punish nikki for it . [ knock on door ] paul : dylan , i 'm sorry . i 'm really busy . dylan : no , it wo n't take much time . i just came from seeing christine . paul : really thoughtful of you . dylan : i 'm just a little concerned about her accusation , though . she 's adamant that nikki targeted her directly . paul : well , that 's true . dylan : what ? wait a minute . you do n't believe that , do you ? paul : we have credible witnesses that , uh , corroborate that , yeah . dylan : maybe they have , but they 're wrong . there 's no way that nikki would intentionally hurt anybody . paul : well , unfortunately ... she did . but do n't get me wrong . she 's not the only one responsible . before all this happened , um ... chris and i had a disagreement . she went running off into the street . dylan : that does n't mean that you 're to blame for -- paul : she 's my wife , dylan . she 's pregnant . she 's carrying my baby . she 's got hormones running all over the place , and i treat her -- i treat her like a co- worker . so ... i might as well have just thrown her in front of the car myself . dylan : paul , do n't do this to yourself . i mean , couples -- couples have fights . paul : it was n't our first one over this . we , uh ... we 've been over this and over this for months . and i guess what it comes down to is it 's about you . dylan : it 's about me ? paul : yeah . see , i was -- i was ... desperate to get to know you . and i guess i wanted to prove to me and everybody else that i was gon na be a better father to you than i was to my other two kids . and it brought me closer to nikki . and i let it . i let it come between chris and me . and it ended up costing us our baby . mariah : is it me or was abby particularly nervous ? like , even more scattered than usual ? kevin : she 's been in the bathroom a long time . mariah : she 's probably thinking of an alibi . courtney : summer , noah , what are you guys doing here ? summer : same thing you guys are -- looking for answers . courtney : i can give you one right now . you did n't kill austin , no matter what you might think you remember . kevin : the evidence points to somebody else . so , you want to tell her or should i ? summer : tell me what ? kevin : the towel in kyle 's car -- it was n't his blood that was on it . noah : it was austin 's . kyle : i punched him out for sleeping with abby . but i explained all of that . mariah : yeah , but you lied about it first , just like you lied about when you came back to town . noah : there was a video showing that kyle was in g.c . way before he said he was . kyle : yeah , and i stayed out of sight because i suspected austin and abby were having a thing . i wanted solid proof before i sprung it on you . summer : okay , well , you should n't have waited . kyle : i told you i was coming to the cabin to let you in on it , but by the time i got -- abby : can we please have a rational conversation about this now ? summer : she 's here ? oh , my god ! how can you even stand to show your face ? not only did you sleep with my husband , for all i know you murdered him ! abby : it was n't me , i swear ! [ all shouting ] summer : you lying bitch ! ugh ! kevin : easy , easy ! summer : [ breathing heavily ] noah : calm down . can i let you go ? summer : yes . [ sighs ] kevin : okay , okay . summer : i wo n't do anything even though i really wanted to . i could have killed her , okay ? if i felt that way about her . who knows i did n't feel that way about austin ? victoria : oh , my gosh . i 'm so sorry . i ca n't believe that just came out of my mouth . it makes you sound like you were an afterthought , and you 're not . it 's just that , you know , paul and christine losing their baby reminds me of how close billy and i came to losing our kids , and -- stitch : okay , okay . victoria : [ sighs ] stitch : you do n't have to explain . if max 's life had been in danger , i 'd be going nuts thinking about what jenna and i stood to lose . victoria : thank you so much for understanding . it 's just so fresh in my mind i ca n't stop thinking about it . stitch : me either . but for a different reason . it 's like what i loved again for awhile there . you know , saving lives , patching people up . victoria : yeah . stitch : i miss it . victoria : enough to stop working in the lab with ashley ? maybe return to medicine ? if the board will reinstate you ? stitch : i 've been considering it . i have . you know , but it 's not a decision i can make on my own . you and i , we are a team now . you know , and not just 'cause we 're sharing a house or caring for katie and johnny . whatever the future holds , we 're gon na face it together . victoria : yeah , together . sage : aw ! sorry . i missed it . i wanted to be here for you . nick : thanks . but i think i 've been leaning on you too much as it is already . sage : would you mind if i leaned on you , then ? nick : yeah . what 's wrong ? sage : my marriage . keeping up the facade . it 's getting harder and harder . nick : well , making a real marriage work is hard enough as it is . you would think making a sham marriage work would be easy . you know how i feel about this and what i think you should do . sage : i should stop worrying about making everyone else happy and do what i want . but you know what that means , then . fake marriage . real divorce . adam : jack . where the hell have you been , man ? jack : i have been at a memorial service and dealing with the fallout , so whatever 's bothering you can wait till tomorrow . adam : no , no , it ca n't wait till tomorrow . check this out . your brother , billy , proposed to chelsea and she said yes . jack : i warned you you were waging a losing battle . adam : well , i have n't lost yet , but ... [ sighs ] i need your help . jack : to do what ? adam : you got to convince your brother this is a horrible idea . jack : no . adam : jack . jack : i have helped you keep your identity a secret . i have allowed you to live in this house . there is a limit to my generosity . adam : well , i suggest that you crack your heart open just a little bit . jack : billy and chelsea are happy . i , of all people , know how fragile that can be . i am not taking it away from them . adam : billy 's not gon na be happy much longer , is he , when i go to the police and tell them that he shot me ? jack : i would be very careful with that . you could wind up in a cell right next to billy 's . adam : i 'd do whatever it takes to get my family back . i 'll do that with or without your help . jack : wow ! a new face , a new name , and he is still every bit victor newman 's son . congratulations . your dad would be very proud that you 're determined to win at any cost . phyllis : i am so sorry for christine 's loss . i really am . victor : it 's too terrible to imagine . phyllis : as a mother , i mean , it just breaks my heart . the idea of a child dying or suffering . i mean , today watching summer nearly killed me at the memorial . especially after her painful revelation . victor : what revelation ? phyllis : she remembered something she found out at the cabin . austin was being unfaithful with her ... victor : oh . phyllis : ... with aunt abby . victor : oh , my goodness . phyllis : yeah . victor : oh , for heaven 's sake . poor summer . phyllis : no comment about your daughter 's behavior ? victor : [ sighs ] i just feel so ... bad for summer . abby does what she wants . she -- i do n't think anybody can control her . the girl has a good heart , but for her to end up with that useless punk , austin ? it 's not good enough for her . phyllis : tell me . victor : yeah ? phyllis : how can you be such a cold and calculating man one minute and soft as a kitty cat the next ? victor : [ chuckles ] well , i can tell you this -- if someone needs to be punished , i 'll see to it that they are . but i hate it when people suffer needlessly , as nikki and summer are suffering right now . i hate that . nikki : [ sighs ] christine : [ sighs ] i knew you could n't stay away . [ sighs ] are you here to gloat ? stitch : there you go . keep the change . billy : did a good job . chelsea : yeah , it fits perfectly now . victoria : hi . chelsea : hi . billy : hey , vick . stitch . victoria : oh , wow . it looks like a congratulations is in order . [ sighs ] um ... so , when did this happen ? billy : tonight , actually . did you want a cup of coffee ? chelsea : sure . billy : excuse me . stitch : hey , uh , you know , i think it 's terrific news , you know ? i 'm wishing you guys the best . chelsea : thanks . looks like we both got our happy ending after all . victoria : you guys should -- you should join us . billy : actually , we 've got a private celebration planned , so ... victoria : oh . billy : yeah . but , um , another time then . victoria : yeah . stitch : sure . why not ? yeah . congratulations again . billy : thank you . stitch : [ chuckles ] stitch : hey , so ... uh , you know , i promised ashley i 'd put in a few hours at work , but ... if you need me to cancel , you know ? victoria : i 'm okay . i mean , it 's not like the engagement came as a shock or anything . in fact , it 's kind of a relief , because now i can move on -- completely . [ both laugh ] victoria : you should go so ashley does n't get on your case and then blame me . you know she will . stitch : yeah , we do n't want that . hey . victoria : bye . stitch : [ laughing ] oh , come here . [ both laugh ] kyle : hey . i made you some tea . are you hungry ? [ sighs ] boy . this place sure gets quiet once you 've kicked everybody out . look ... summer , i never meant to hurt you . i just ... got caught up in something by accident when i saw austin and abby . i mean , you know something ? i 'm glad i did . i 'm glad i found out what a creep he was , and if that meant you being furious at me when it came to tell you about it , then it was worth it because you 'd be free of a guy who did n't deserve you . summer : enough , okay ? i can not hear about austin kyle : summer ... look at me . you deserve better . you know it . i know it . paul : look , dylan , i do n't want you to misunderstand me . i could n't be more grateful that you 're in my life . i do n't want you to doubt that for a second . dylan : thank you for saying that . paul : i just should have told chris ... that she and the baby meant as much to me , as well . and that whatever nikki and i shared was no threat to our marriage . dylan : tell her now . paul : it 's too little too late . see , we -- i failed her . dylan : no . paul . [ sighs ] i failed avery ... in a similar way once . and for a long time , i ran from it . and it only hurt her more , so if you do n't want the same thing with christine ... do n't run . nikki : oh , christine . i 'm just devastated by what happened . christine : why ? because you did n't kill me in addition to my baby ? nikki : no ! i -- i did n't see you until it was too late . it was just a horrible , horrible -- christine : your life is a mess , nikki ! [ sighs ] and you want my husband to fix it . you want you and paul and dylan to be this perfect little family . but my baby and i were in the way and you had to eliminate us . nikki : that 's not true . you ran into the street without looking -- christine : are you saying it is my fault that my baby 's dead ? billy : did you hear what i said ? that chelsea and i are engaged ? jack : yeah , i heard you . billy : wow . overwhelmed by your response . no handshake , no `` congratulations , bro ! `` jack : look , the ink is barely dry on your divorce papers . are you really gon na rush into this ? billy : i 'm not rushing ! jack : the hell you 're not . billy : okay , maybe i 'm going a little fast , but so what ? chelsea makes me happy . she 's good for me . she brought me back after delia died . i mean , is n't this enough for you ? or ... is there something you know that you 're not telling me ? jack : do i know something about chelsea ? no . billy : okay . well , then i 'm going ahead with this wedding . unless you can give me a damn good reason why i should n't . something to tell ? jack : no . there 's nothing to tell . if this is what you want , i will stand behind you 100 % . billy : you sure about that , jack ? jack : i 'll even throw you an engagement party . billy : [ chuckles ] thanks , jack . victoria : yes , um , a tattoo removal . no problem . yeah . it 's painful . i 've sort of developed a tolerance for that . okay , great . i 'll see you then . hey ! abby ! hi . so nice seeing you here . come on . sit down . let 's talk . abby : [ crying ] victoria : what 's the matter ? chelsea : thanks for the refill . huh . well . if it is n't my new roomie . adam : yeah . where 's , uh -- where 's , uh , billy ? do n't tell me abandoned you the moment he put the ring on your finger . chelsea : no . actually , i abandoned him . i had to go back to the jeweler next door to pick up this fabulous pair of earrings because they totally match my ring . i just had to have them . adam : mm . yeah . ca n't let a good thing get away , right ? chelsea : yeah , i 'm excited to show billy . excuse me . i 'm just gon na call a cab . adam : you 're calling a cab ? i 'll drive you . nick : figure out a way to stick to your guns once gabe argues against the divorce . sage : he 's gon na be furious , all right ? with his inheritance at stake . nick : look , i 've said it before . i 'll say it again . life is more than just about money . sage : why is that rich people always say that about money ? nick : because we 're all just a bunch of hypocrites . we ca n't possibly figure out how people with no money live . sage : i guess you 're right . nick : your life has never been about making money , right ? why let it become that now ? sage , you 're unhappy . you have to change things . gabe is just going to have to deal with that . and then in the meantime , you know you can always get a free meal at my club . once i get that up and running again . sage : [ sighs ] nick : look , i 've known gabe a long time . i know you 're worried about him . i know that he would never -- sage : hurt me ? not in the way that you think . gabe is n't the same person you went to school with and he 's not going to be okay with me turning against him . he will never be okay with it . summer : i 'm not sure what i know right now . i thought in knew austin , but -- kyle : you know me . but ... if you 're afraid to trust it ... let me prove it to you . let me help you through this , summer . whatever you 're feeling , it 's okay to show me . if you 're feeling sad , then go ahead and cry . if you 're angry , then scream , break some plates . just not the good china or dad 'll have a fit . summer : [ chuckles ] all i want right now is to get some sleep without having any bad dreams . thanks . um ... can you lock up for me when you leave ? kyle : like i said , i 'm not going anywhere . [ sighs ] kevin : [ sighs ] well , i guess we ought to clock in if we want to keep our jobs . courtney : you two might as well just go home . kevin : yeah , this amateur detective stuff , it 's not getting us anywhere . noah : what should we do ? what do you want to do ? should we hand it over to the professionals over here ? tell the police and risk someone going to jail ? kevin : no , no . of course not . courtney : as much as i hate the idea of hiding this , i 'd hate summer going to prison even more . mariah : someone out there knew that . that person who wrote that note on the mirror must have known we 'd keep it to ourselves . noah : which means they probably know us pretty well . kevin : well , the question is how well do we know them ? abby : why do i pick the wrong guy at the wrong time and make everything worse ? victoria : love is n't always logical . or painless . abby : love ? no . did i say love ? no , it was -- it was a fling . it was a dirty affair . that 's all . that 's all . he felt misunderstood and i could relate . victoria : so you were commiserating . abby : yeah . no . i do n't know . in the beginning , but then things changed . for me , at least , and i fell hard . i loved him more than i thought i ever could . [ sniffles ] and it killed me that he did n't feel the same way about me . i could n't bear for him to go back to summer . i could n't take it . [ sniffles ] [ crying ] victoria : oh , sweetie . adam : it makes sense , does n't it ? i mean , we 're both living under the same roof now . why waste money on a cab when i can take you ? chelsea : well , it 's not about the money -- adam : no , of course not , but who wants to wait a half an hour -- is it , nowadays ? -- for a cab when i can just take you ? plus if you let me drive you home , it 'll give me a chance to explain to you how your engagement inspires me . chelsea : it inspires you ? adam : absolutely . chelsea : how ? adam : you know , if you can get over you painful past and learn to love again , maybe there 's hope for me . and sage . give me some pointers on the way home ? what do you say ? chelsea : okay . adam : yeah ? i 'll pull the car around . all right . stitch : hey , you know , you 've been here for hours . why do n't you go home ? ashley : well , you 've been here for hours , too . why do n't you go home ? stitch : i would . it 's just , you know ... ashley : what ? stitch : victoria and i ran into billy and chelsea earlier . they got engaged . ashley : are you kidding me ? stitch : no . ashley : he did n't tell me . well , my baby brother works fast . stitch : [ chuckles ] ashley : well , that 's good news for you , right ? stitch : yeah , you know ? i think so . but ... you know , i 'm not really sure victoria will ever really be able to get past billy . [ chuckles ] ashley : seriously ? stitch : yeah . everyone has that one great love in their life . i 'm not so sure i 'm it for victoria . nikki : you misunderstood ! i never meant to imply that it was your fault . christine : why would you say what you did ? why ? nikki : i just meant that you were n't watching where you were going . christine : you are making it my fault ! get out of here ! get out of here . nikki : [ gasps ] christine : get out of here , nikki ! nikki : if you would just let me explain . christine : leave me alone . i do n't want to look at you . go away ! get away ! get her out of here , paul . paul : what 's going on ? christine : she killed our baby ! get her out of here ! get her out of here ! are you happy , nikki ? ! paul : stop it . stop it . christine : did you get what you wanted ? she killed our baby ! she killed our baby ! it 's all her fault ! i hate her ! i hate her ! i hate her ! [ next_on ] summer : [ breathing heavily ] victoria : your real beef is with my father . well , i 'm not my father . ashley : close enough , victoria . sage : you and i are getting a divorce . | paul arrests nikki for attempted murder because he has witnesses that can testify that nikki swerved to hit christine . nikki 's lawyer posts bail and she gets to go home . when paul tells him what happened , dylan takes nikki 's side , because she would n't hurt christine on purpose . nikki goes to the hospital to apologize to christine and explain that it was an accident , but christine is very angry and wo n't listen to her . when billy proposes to chelsea , she accepts . adam asks jack to persuade billy not to marry chelsea . jack does his best , but billy has made up his mind . jack worries that adam will go to the police and have billy arrested for shooting him and leaving him to die in the car . abby admits to victoria that her affair with austin started out meaningless but she later fell in love with him , and she was upset that he did n't feel the same way . the group goes back to the cabin and sees a message written on the mirror in the closet in lipstick : `` i know what happened here . `` they wonder what the killer means by it . kyle later finds summer in the cabin and comforts her . when she goes to the bedroom to get some rest , he goes to the closet to wipe the message off the mirror . kevin , mariah , noah , and courtney continue to suspect that kyle killed austin and set out to prove it . nick persuades sage to divorce gabriel since she does n't want to pretend to be married to him anymore . stitch tells ashley that he does n't think victoria will ever love him as much as she loved billy . | <s>[INST] jack : i ca n't believe you 're still at it ! ashley : oh , no ! i ca n't believe it 's this late ! jack : what are you working on ? ashley : [ sighs ] nothing much . i 've been so distracted i forgot about the memorial . how did summer hold up ? jack : not so well . especially after she found out your daughter has been sleeping with her husband . kevin : what the hell ? abby : oh , my god . that 's creepy . courtney : no , wait ! i want to get a better look on that . kevin : somebody 's been busy . mariah : having fun at our expense ! courtney : does anyone recognize this handwriting ? mariah : the shade of lipstick ? ' kyle : no . mariah : wait till summer hears about this . kyle : no , she ca n't . she 's been through enough . courtney : we can erase the message , but not what it means . the person that did this is probably the same person that moved austin 's body . that blows that `` guardian angel `` theory right out the window . kevin : this person is n't trying to protect summer . he or she wants something . or maybe she 's just trying to throw us off the scent . summer : [ crying ] you did n't just cheat on me , you died before i could ask you why ! how could you do this to me ! how could you just leave me wondering for forever ? ! nick : listen to me . i know you said you want to be alone , but please let me take you home . summer : no , i ca n't ! nick : you need some rest . summer : you do n't understand ! this is all my fault ! phyllis : your fault , honey ? what ? what are you talking about ? nick : you have nothing to feel guilty about . summer : no , i do ! i do . victor : what the hell is this ? paul : nikki has been booked for attempted murder . it 's standard procedure victor : what happened to you ? she submitted to an interrogation by your other officer . she submitted to a breathalyzer test without a lawyer present ! that 's how you pay her back ? ! nikki : i swear to god , paul , it was an accident . what more do i have to tell you ? christine stepped right into the path of my car ! paul : that 's not what the eyewitnesses say . according to them , you deliberately swerved in chris ' direction . victor : who the hell are your eyewitnesses ? ! paul : they 're credible ! victor : i doubt it ! paul : one is a bystander and the other is my wife . christine : [ gasps ] please come back ! please . please . [ gasps ] dylan : it 's -- it 's okay . christine , it 's okay . it 's okay . you 're having a nightmare . christine : oh , god . dylan : it 's okay . i heard about the accident . i just wanted to be with you and paul . christine : i tried so hard to catch up . i could n't catch up . [ sighs ] dylan : what are you talking about ? christine : oh , there was ... a child -- sweet -- [ crying ] sweet little child . dylan : in your dream ? christine : not just in my dreams . somebody took my baby . and it was n't just an accident . they deliberately ran me down . dylan : who ? who would do something like that ? christine : your mother . that 's who ! [ sighs ] victoria : you taste like orange juice . stitch : yeah , i had some after i gave blood . victoria : oh . i did n't know you were gon na do that . stitch : yeah , i wanted to help out the victims of the storm and the roof collapse at the underground . victoria : you are such a good guy . stitch : listen , vick , um ... when i was in the hospital , i heard there was a pretty bad accident last night . chief williams and his wife -- they lost their baby . victoria : oh , god . so many people 's lives have changed in the last few days . when i think about how close i came to losing katherine and johnny in the fire ... stitch : hey . i do n't want to upset you , babe . [ chuckles ] victoria : just reminds me of how lucky billy and i are . and you too , of course . chelsea : okay . i changed into the prettiest dress i currently have access to . now do you want to tell me what 's going on ? billy : i just want to spend an evening alone with the most beautiful girl on the planet . chelsea : well , that 's gon na be a little bit difficult , considering we have roommates . billy : no , jack 's out , gabe and sage are at the french bistro on 5th , courtesy of one william abbott . chelsea : huh . generous guy , that william abbott . billy : yeah , i know . it 's easy to be generous ... when you 're in love . open it . chelsea lawson ... will you do me the great honor and privilege ... of becoming my wife ? chelsea : no . [ ring case snaps shut ] chelsea : here . take it back . i know why you 're proposing . billy : yeah , because i 'm absolutely crazy about you ! and i want to spend the rest of my life with you . chelsea : no , because you think gabriel has feelings for me . billy : oh , my god ! i thought that we cleared the air about this . chelsea : so did i , but apparently you have to see a ring on my finger in order to believe that you 're the only man i 'm committed to . billy : okay , you know what ? maybe i do need to believe you 're not going anywhere , but it has absolutely nothing to do with gabriel . you and i could have died in that fire , and , yeah , i was the one who got trapped , but it could have just as easily been you , and the entire time i was thinking , `` why did n't you tell her how serious you are about her ? this is n't just fun and games . `` chelsea , this is what i want . this is what i 've wanted my entire life . someone who understands me completely . for me . and i will my devote my life to it . if you 'll let me . chelsea : well ... when you put it that way . billy : oh . looks like i might have miscalculated a little bit . but who the hell cares ? you said yes . that was a `` yes , `` right ? chelsea : yes . adam : well ! chelsea : hi . adam : so this is why you sprung for dinner , huh ? billy : what are you guys doing back ? sage : well , the bistro was closed by the board of health . chelsea : nice place you sent them to . billy : it had good reviews online . adam : anyway , we were gon na come back here and order a pizza , but we 're obviously interrupting . billy : no , it 's okay , um , i 'm actually done with what i needed to do . chelsea and i are engaged . nick : what are you talking about ? austin was an accident . you were nowhere around . phyllis : you could have done nothing to prevent it . summer : i ca n't do this . i need to be alone . noah : summer , hey . dad , do n't worry . i got her . phyllis : nick , we have been through this before . if she needs the time , we have to give it to her . nick : yeah , but she 's not making sense . i mean , why would she blame herself for austin ? phyllis : maybe she 's blaming herself for the affair . maybe she 's thinking that it set off some awful series of events . i do n't know . nick : austin is to blame for the affair ! phyllis : okay , you and i know that , but summer is naive about a lot of things still . she went into this marriage thinking that love could conquer all . nick : well , it 's just a shame she had to find out so soon it 's all just a myth . phyllis : i 'm still hoping there 's some truth to that . nick : why do n't you go home , okay ? to jack . it 's been a rough couple days . phyllis : you will call me if you hear from her . nick : yeah . you do the same , okay ? phyllis : okay . thank you . nick : you know , some day ... my little girl is gon na forgive you for breaking her heart . i never will . ashley : abby , it 's your mother . i just heard what summer accused you of at the memorial . i want to talk to you . jack : something tells me abby is not gon na be too quick to get back to you on that . ashley : sleeping with her niece 's husband -- what the hell was she thinking ? of course , she has n't had the best parental role models . speaking of victor ... how is your new - found friendship going , anyway ? have you planned any fun outings , like maybe going to the movies , because i 'm sure victor would share his popcorn with you . jack : oh , so that 's what that was about . abby : what ? jack : you 're concerned about my new allegiance with victor , so you 're hiding your work . you do n't trust me in this state - of - the - art lab that i paid for . ashley : that 's not exactly it , jack . jack : i know what i saw . you were shuffling around your notes when i walked in here . let me remind you , i run this place . if i want to know what 's going on here , i deserve some answers . ashley : well , you know what ? you 're really interested in my research projects -- why do n't you submit a request ? how about that ? jack : that is not what i 'm talking about and you know it . we have always been open with each other about business . ashley : oh , have we always been open , jack ? we 've just always been open . jack : when it 's prudent , yes . ashley : well , guess what ? i 'm being prudent right now . you have been acting erratically . jack : you do n't trust me ? ashley : i have been to hell and back because of this fragrance . and you have not been acting like yourself . and i do not trust victor . jack : well , you 'll be glad to know victor and i are only working together to help phyllis . ashley : maybe that 's why you 're working with him . when it comes to victor , his agenda always has another agenda behind the agenda . jack : that 's not news to me . look , i was a little surprised when he called a truce so quickly in our hospital room . that was before i saw him in the hospital chapel , coming out of the confessional . ashley : victor confessing his sins ? i 'm surprised that the building did n't explode into flames from a lightning bolt . jack : i do n't think he was confessing . more like conferring . the question is about what and with whom ? victor : you either drop these ridiculous charges or you take yourself off this case . you ca n't possibly be objective . nikki : if only i could just see christine and let her know how sorry i am . paul : take mrs. newman to her cell . victor : are you serious ? that 's not going to happen . the judge agreed to bail . and i 've already posted it . nikki : [ sighs ] victor : why , thank you for showing up , anderson . officer , take those cuffs off my wife . nikki : [ clears throat ] victor : nikki and i will go home now . i suggest you visit your wife in the hospital . let 's get out of here . paul : this is n't over , victor . adam : engaged ? that is quite an announcement . sage : that is wonderful news . billy : and you know what ? it 's all thanks to you , gabe . adam : thanks to me ? billy : yeah . yeah , you gave me that push that i needed when you dragged me out of the burning building . i realized that i wanted to spend the rest of my life with chelsea , so thank you for , well , for the inspiration . adam : well , you are -- it 's just -- you 're welcome . sage : your ring is really gorgeous . chelsea : it is , is n't it ? i could n't have designed a better one myself . adam : pretty . looks like your fiancé got the size wrong , though . billy : we can fix that . chelsea : you mean like right now ? billy : yeah , we got time before the jeweler 's closes . we would n't want that to fall off your finger , would we ? adam : no , we would n't want that -- would n't want that to fall off . billy : so , have a good night , guys . chelsea : bye , guys . adam : big news ! congratulations ! chelsea : bye . so ... billy is so great . thanks for nothing . sage : excuse me ? adam : you tell chelsea i have feelings for her and this is the result ? you did everything but push them together , sage . sage : they are together . and if you do n't come to terms with that , you 're gon na ruin this for both of us . nikki : oh , it is so good to be home . i was beginning to think it would be a long time before i ever saw it again . victor : well , sweetheart , come here . i promise you you 're not gon na spend one night in jail . nikki : i know that you believe that . i thank you for wanting to protect me , but sometimes things happen that we ca n't control , we ca n't predict . victor : well , i know . but you 'll be all right , okay ? nikki : yeah , well , paul and christine wo n't be . victor : i know , i know , i know , i know , i know . i feel absolutely terrible . to lose a child like that is just ... unimaginable . but , you know , time heals all wounds . they 'll get over it and you 'll get over it , too , okay ? let me handle things . nikki : i do n't know . victor : come here . phyllis : sorry to interrupt . i 'm gon na grab some things upstairs and i 'll be out of your way . nikki : oh , no , phyllis , i 'm glad you 're here . you can keep victor company while i go upstairs to rest . victor : sweetheart , you call me if you need anything . nikki : i will . victor : [ sighs ] phyllis : should i ask ? victor : there was an accident . christine ran in front of nikki 's car . phyllis : oh , that 's a -- you 're joking . victor : i 'm not joking about a thing like that . christine is all right but unfortunately they lost the baby . and now christine is determined to punish nikki for it . [ knock on door ] paul : dylan , i 'm sorry . i 'm really busy . dylan : no , it wo n't take much time . i just came from seeing christine . paul : really thoughtful of you . dylan : i 'm just a little concerned about her accusation , though . she 's adamant that nikki targeted her directly . paul : well , that 's true . dylan : what ? wait a minute . you do n't believe that , do you ? paul : we have credible witnesses that , uh , corroborate that , yeah . dylan : maybe they have , but they 're wrong . there 's no way that nikki would intentionally hurt anybody . paul : well , unfortunately ... she did . but do n't get me wrong . she 's not the only one responsible . before all this happened , um ... chris and i had a disagreement . she went running off into the street . dylan : that does n't mean that you 're to blame for -- paul : she 's my wife , dylan . she 's pregnant . she 's carrying my baby . she 's got hormones running all over the place , and i treat her -- i treat her like a co- worker . so ... i might as well have just thrown her in front of the car myself . dylan : paul , do n't do this to yourself . i mean , couples -- couples have fights . paul : it was n't our first one over this . we , uh ... we 've been over this and over this for months . and i guess what it comes down to is it 's about you . dylan : it 's about me ? paul : yeah . see , i was -- i was ... desperate to get to know you . and i guess i wanted to prove to me and everybody else that i was gon na be a better father to you than i was to my other two kids . and it brought me closer to nikki . and i let it . i let it come between chris and me . and it ended up costing us our baby . mariah : is it me or was abby particularly nervous ? like , even more scattered than usual ? kevin : she 's been in the bathroom a long time . mariah : she 's probably thinking of an alibi . courtney : summer , noah , what are you guys doing here ? summer : same thing you guys are -- looking for answers . courtney : i can give you one right now . you did n't kill austin , no matter what you might think you remember . kevin : the evidence points to somebody else . so , you want to tell her or should i ? summer : tell me what ? kevin : the towel in kyle 's car -- it was n't his blood that was on it . noah : it was austin 's . kyle : i punched him out for sleeping with abby . but i explained all of that . mariah : yeah , but you lied about it first , just like you lied about when you came back to town . noah : there was a video showing that kyle was in g.c . way before he said he was . kyle : yeah , and i stayed out of sight because i suspected austin and abby were having a thing . i wanted solid proof before i sprung it on you . summer : okay , well , you should n't have waited . kyle : i told you i was coming to the cabin to let you in on it , but by the time i got -- abby : can we please have a rational conversation about this now ? summer : she 's here ? oh , my god ! how can you even stand to show your face ? not only did you sleep with my husband , for all i know you murdered him ! abby : it was n't me , i swear ! [ all shouting ] summer : you lying bitch ! ugh ! kevin : easy , easy ! summer : [ breathing heavily ] noah : calm down . can i let you go ? summer : yes . [ sighs ] kevin : okay , okay . summer : i wo n't do anything even though i really wanted to . i could have killed her , okay ? if i felt that way about her . who knows i did n't feel that way about austin ? victoria : oh , my gosh . i 'm so sorry . i ca n't believe that just came out of my mouth . it makes you sound like you were an afterthought , and you 're not . it 's just that , you know , paul and christine losing their baby reminds me of how close billy and i came to losing our kids , and -- stitch : okay , okay . victoria : [ sighs ] stitch : you do n't have to explain . if max 's life had been in danger , i 'd be going nuts thinking about what jenna and i stood to lose . victoria : thank you so much for understanding . it 's just so fresh in my mind i ca n't stop thinking about it . stitch : me either . but for a different reason . it 's like what i loved again for awhile there . you know , saving lives , patching people up . victoria : yeah . stitch : i miss it . victoria : enough to stop working in the lab with ashley ? maybe return to medicine ? if the board will reinstate you ? stitch : i 've been considering it . i have . you know , but it 's not a decision i can make on my own . you and i , we are a team now . you know , and not just 'cause we 're sharing a house or caring for katie and johnny . whatever the future holds , we 're gon na face it together . victoria : yeah , together . sage : aw ! sorry . i missed it . i wanted to be here for you . nick : thanks . but i think i 've been leaning on you too much as it is already . sage : would you mind if i leaned on you , then ? nick : yeah . what 's wrong ? sage : my marriage . keeping up the facade . it 's getting harder and harder . nick : well , making a real marriage work is hard enough as it is . you would think making a sham marriage work would be easy . you know how i feel about this and what i think you should do . sage : i should stop worrying about making everyone else happy and do what i want . but you know what that means , then . fake marriage . real divorce . adam : jack . where the hell have you been , man ? jack : i have been at a memorial service and dealing with the fallout , so whatever 's bothering you can wait till tomorrow . adam : no , no , it ca n't wait till tomorrow . check this out . your brother , billy , proposed to chelsea and she said yes . jack : i warned you you were waging a losing battle . adam : well , i have n't lost yet , but ... [ sighs ] i need your help . jack : to do what ? adam : you got to convince your brother this is a horrible idea . jack : no . adam : jack . jack : i have helped you keep your identity a secret . i have allowed you to live in this house . there is a limit to my generosity . adam : well , i suggest that you crack your heart open just a little bit . jack : billy and chelsea are happy . i , of all people , know how fragile that can be . i am not taking it away from them . adam : billy 's not gon na be happy much longer , is he , when i go to the police and tell them that he shot me ? jack : i would be very careful with that . you could wind up in a cell right next to billy 's . adam : i 'd do whatever it takes to get my family back . i 'll do that with or without your help . jack : wow ! a new face , a new name , and he is still every bit victor newman 's son . congratulations . your dad would be very proud that you 're determined to win at any cost . phyllis : i am so sorry for christine 's loss . i really am . victor : it 's too terrible to imagine . phyllis : as a mother , i mean , it just breaks my heart . the idea of a child dying or suffering . i mean , today watching summer nearly killed me at the memorial . especially after her painful revelation . victor : what revelation ? phyllis : she remembered something she found out at the cabin . austin was being unfaithful with her ... victor : oh . phyllis : ... with aunt abby . victor : oh , my goodness . phyllis : yeah . victor : oh , for heaven 's sake . poor summer . phyllis : no comment about your daughter 's behavior ? victor : [ sighs ] i just feel so ... bad for summer . abby does what she wants . she -- i do n't think anybody can control her . the girl has a good heart , but for her to end up with that useless punk , austin ? it 's not good enough for her . phyllis : tell me . victor : yeah ? phyllis : how can you be such a cold and calculating man one minute and soft as a kitty cat the next ? victor : [ chuckles ] well , i can tell you this -- if someone needs to be punished , i 'll see to it that they are . but i hate it when people suffer needlessly , as nikki and summer are suffering right now . i hate that . nikki : [ sighs ] christine : [ sighs ] i knew you could n't stay away . [ sighs ] are you here to gloat ? stitch : there you go . keep the change . billy : did a good job . chelsea : yeah , it fits perfectly now . victoria : hi . chelsea : hi . billy : hey , vick . stitch . victoria : oh , wow . it looks like a congratulations is in order . [ sighs ] um ... so , when did this happen ? billy : tonight , actually . did you want a cup of coffee ? chelsea : sure . billy : excuse me . stitch : hey , uh , you know , i think it 's terrific news , you know ? i 'm wishing you guys the best . chelsea : thanks . looks like we both got our happy ending after all . victoria : you guys should -- you should join us . billy : actually , we 've got a private celebration planned , so ... victoria : oh . billy : yeah . but , um , another time then . victoria : yeah . stitch : sure . why not ? yeah . congratulations again . billy : thank you . stitch : [ chuckles ] stitch : hey , so ... uh , you know , i promised ashley i 'd put in a few hours at work , but ... if you need me to cancel , you know ? victoria : i 'm okay . i mean , it 's not like the engagement came as a shock or anything . in fact , it 's kind of a relief , because now i can move on -- completely . [ both laugh ] victoria : you should go so ashley does n't get on your case and then blame me . you know she will . stitch : yeah , we do n't want that . hey . victoria : bye . stitch : [ laughing ] oh , come here . [ both laugh ] kyle : hey . i made you some tea . are you hungry ? [ sighs ] boy . this place sure gets quiet once you 've kicked everybody out . look ... summer , i never meant to hurt you . i just ... got caught up in something by accident when i saw austin and abby . i mean , you know something ? i 'm glad i did . i 'm glad i found out what a creep he was , and if that meant you being furious at me when it came to tell you about it , then it was worth it because you 'd be free of a guy who did n't deserve you . summer : enough , okay ? i can not hear about austin kyle : summer ... look at me . you deserve better . you know it . i know it . paul : look , dylan , i do n't want you to misunderstand me . i could n't be more grateful that you 're in my life . i do n't want you to doubt that for a second . dylan : thank you for saying that . paul : i just should have told chris ... that she and the baby meant as much to me , as well . and that whatever nikki and i shared was no threat to our marriage . dylan : tell her now . paul : it 's too little too late . see , we -- i failed her . dylan : no . paul . [ sighs ] i failed avery ... in a similar way once . and for a long time , i ran from it . and it only hurt her more , so if you do n't want the same thing with christine ... do n't run . nikki : oh , christine . i 'm just devastated by what happened . christine : why ? because you did n't kill me in addition to my baby ? nikki : no ! i -- i did n't see you until it was too late . it was just a horrible , horrible -- christine : your life is a mess , nikki ! [ sighs ] and you want my husband to fix it . you want you and paul and dylan to be this perfect little family . but my baby and i were in the way and you had to eliminate us . nikki : that 's not true . you ran into the street without looking -- christine : are you saying it is my fault that my baby 's dead ? billy : did you hear what i said ? that chelsea and i are engaged ? jack : yeah , i heard you . billy : wow . overwhelmed by your response . no handshake , no `` congratulations , bro ! `` jack : look , the ink is barely dry on your divorce papers . are you really gon na rush into this ? billy : i 'm not rushing ! jack : the hell you 're not . billy : okay , maybe i 'm going a little fast , but so what ? chelsea makes me happy . she 's good for me . she brought me back after delia died . i mean , is n't this enough for you ? or ... is there something you know that you 're not telling me ? jack : do i know something about chelsea ? no . billy : okay . well , then i 'm going ahead with this wedding . unless you can give me a damn good reason why i should n't . something to tell ? jack : no . there 's nothing to tell . if this is what you want , i will stand behind you 100 % . billy : you sure about that , jack ? jack : i 'll even throw you an engagement party . billy : [ chuckles ] thanks , jack . victoria : yes , um , a tattoo removal . no problem . yeah . it 's painful . i 've sort of developed a tolerance for that . okay , great . i 'll see you then . hey ! abby ! hi . so nice seeing you here . come on . sit down . let 's talk . abby : [ crying ] victoria : what 's the matter ? chelsea : thanks for the refill . huh . well . if it is n't my new roomie . adam : yeah . where 's , uh -- where 's , uh , billy ? do n't tell me abandoned you the moment he put the ring on your finger . chelsea : no . actually , i abandoned him . i had to go back to the jeweler next door to pick up this fabulous pair of earrings because they totally match my ring . i just had to have them . adam : mm . yeah . ca n't let a good thing get away , right ? chelsea : yeah , i 'm excited to show billy . excuse me . i 'm just gon na call a cab . adam : you 're calling a cab ? i 'll drive you . nick : figure out a way to stick to your guns once gabe argues against the divorce . sage : he 's gon na be furious , all right ? with his inheritance at stake . nick : look , i 've said it before . i 'll say it again . life is more than just about money . sage : why is that rich people always say that about money ? nick : because we 're all just a bunch of hypocrites . we ca n't possibly figure out how people with no money live . sage : i guess you 're right . nick : your life has never been about making money , right ? why let it become that now ? sage , you 're unhappy . you have to change things . gabe is just going to have to deal with that . and then in the meantime , you know you can always get a free meal at my club . once i get that up and running again . sage : [ sighs ] nick : look , i 've known gabe a long time . i know you 're worried about him . i know that he would never -- sage : hurt me ? not in the way that you think . gabe is n't the same person you went to school with and he 's not going to be okay with me turning against him . he will never be okay with it . summer : i 'm not sure what i know right now . i thought in knew austin , but -- kyle : you know me . but ... if you 're afraid to trust it ... let me prove it to you . let me help you through this , summer . whatever you 're feeling , it 's okay to show me . if you 're feeling sad , then go ahead and cry . if you 're angry , then scream , break some plates . just not the good china or dad 'll have a fit . summer : [ chuckles ] all i want right now is to get some sleep without having any bad dreams . thanks . um ... can you lock up for me when you leave ? kyle : like i said , i 'm not going anywhere .

'cause it always blows up eventually . madison : you know from tough , do n't you ? maggie : [ laughs ] [ pats madison 's knee ] brady and i have to be tough . we have a huge fight on our hands every day . we ca n't fool ourselves . we ca n't sugarcoat things . and we ca n't demand that the people we love pretend that everything is wonderful when it is n't . madison : i really thought that you were gon na be angry with me because i was doubting him . maggie : no . i would be angry with you if you did n't stop and think , really think , how do you feel about all of this , because , when -- when brady is even in recovery , he 's still an addict . okay ? and that 's not gon na go away . there 's never any guarantees . madison : okay . i get that now . maggie : okay . well , then you need to ask yourself , you need to be honest and pragmatic ... do you love him enough to be there for him no matter what happens ? brady : that 's a very good question . madison : thank god you 're okay .

[ clears throat ] you 're worried that you 've been too defensive and that the fight was actually your fault ? and you should have been more understanding and less confrontational ? madison : yes . maggie : no ! it 's a checklist of feelings that people have when they 're dealing with an addict . brady is an addict . madison : i know . maggie : i know he says he 's not using , but you 're afraid that 's not true , are n't you ? madison : i know it 's not true . brady : it 's okay . it 's all right . this is all right . it 's all right .

[ door slams ] [ scene_break ] madison : you know , i know that i do n't -- i do n't really understand what brady 's going through . i mean , i get it . i get it in my head . i understand it intellectually , but i do n't know what this feels like for him . maggie : no , because you 're not an addict . that 's why addicts need help from people who are going through the same thing . madison : yeah , but what concerns me is that i was worried that he was using again , and maybe that somehow undermined his sobriety . i mean , it 's awful to think that the person you love does n't trust you . maggie : madison , that 's the elephant in the room with someone that you love who is a recovering addict . what -- what is that fine line between faith and blind faith ? and , see , what brady is going through right now , you 're wondering , `` yeah , what is going on here ? `` and clearly you have a right to . madison : but it must be so demoralizing for him . maggie : exactly . he comes with baggage , madison . madison : [ sighs ] maggie : i 'm not sure that this is what brady is doing , but i do n't like the silent treatment . if he guilts you into keeping secrets , into not rocking the boat , into looking the other way , if you feel like you ca n't be honest because he ca n't handle it , that 's not good . 'cause it always blows up eventually . madison : you know from tough , do n't you ? maggie : [ laughs ] [ pats madison 's knee ] brady and i have to be tough . we have a huge fight on our hands every day . we ca n't fool ourselves . we ca n't sugarcoat things . and we ca n't demand that the people we love pretend that everything is wonderful when it is n't . madison : i really thought that you were gon na be angry with me because i was doubting him . maggie : no . i would be angry with you if you did n't stop and think , really think , how do you feel about all of this , because , when -- when brady is even in recovery , he 's still an addict . okay ? and that 's not gon na go away . there 's never any guarantees . madison : okay . i get that now . maggie : okay . well , then you need to ask yourself , you need to be honest and pragmatic ... do you love him enough to be there for him no matter what happens ? brady : that 's a very good question . madison : thank god you 're okay .

no . or should i say i 'm not threatened yet , but i would n't do anything to make me feel threatened , like telling my husband he should leave me . i make eric happy , and i have proven to him that i 'm a good matriarch for this family . brooke : just because you 're married to eric does n't make you the forrester matriarch . if i had my way , you will never be able to call yourself that . you 're not threatened by me now , but you will be , because i want you gone . i want you and shauna out of this house and out of this family for good . flo : should n't you be going to that meeting , too ?

gabi : thanks for checking this out for me , nick . nick : yeah . gabi : when i showed will the custody agreement , he sort of freaked . but i explained to him , or at least i think i did , that this is not even close to what we 're gon na end up with , that this is how the lawyers -- nick : no , no , mr. jennings laid this out perfectly . this -- this is exactly how it should be . sami : is gabi here ? will : mom , you ca n't just show up like that . sonny : gabi 's not home . sami : does she have arianna with her ? sonny : no , ari 's sleeping . sami : wow , she left the baby alone with you . that 's so surprising , given what she was asking for in the custody agreement . do n't play dumb . kate already told me . will : i know you told me not to tell grandma , but it 's a moot point now , all of this . ej said it 's just a negotiating position . everything 's gon na be okay . sami : i know what ej said , but this is gabi and nick we are talking about here , and i am not going to stand by and do nothing . nick : gabi , you need to listen to me on this . you need to call the lawyer and get him to put in a request for a court date asap , all right ? lock this down , get it done . ej : where did you get this ? johnny : allie 's daddy sent it to her . percy : ms. roberts , surely you know by now that mr. fallon prefers to do the lion 's share of his work after the sun sets . he is nocturnal . kate : most bloodsuckers are . percy : i have observed firsthand just how creative my superior can be when he 's able to shut out the world . kate : aw ... too bad nick did n't shut out the world permanently when we dropped him into that river . gabi : nick , mr. jennings said that we ask for everything and then we dial it back , that we -- nick : gabi , do you really think that sami is gon na settle for anything less than what she wants ? gabi : okay , but what sami wants -- nick : she made it really clear . she thinks that you are an unfit mother . she is gon na do everything in her power to take your baby away from you . sonny : sami , i 'm not gon na fight with you . i 'm with will on this . i ca n't see gabi suddenly doing a 180 and only letting us see ari every other weekend . sami : okay , what about nick ? can you picture him doing that ? sonny : he does n't have any rights in this equation . sami : gabi does whatever he tells her to do . sonny : still , if for some insane reason , we go to court and gabi and nick are together , his criminal record alone would help us . sami : sonny , it 's not an option . sonny : what do you mean ?

ben : you 're right . look , and i know that i was wrong to come in between you and that guy nick , but look , since i know your name and you know my name , it 's not totally out of line for me to ask if you 're okay after somebody hurt somebody that you care about . ej : so , johnny , did you get your photograph taken with this santa as well ? johnny : yeah . i do n't know where it is , though . i wish i did . this santa was funny . ej : how so ? johnny : instead of saying , `` ho , ho , ho , `` he said , `` greetings . `` [ chuckles ] ej : `` greetings `` ?

you know , mr. ruggles , you do seem like a nice gentleman . i have to wonder how someone so nice could be so comfortable being a lackey to a man like nick fallon . percy : we all do what we must , ms . roberts . kate : mm . on that we do agree . will : no , i wo n't buy into that , mom . now , nick may hold some sway over gabi , but she is totally aware of what my role and sonny 's is in arianna 's life . sami : nick has all the information . will : and ari has all three of us . gabi sees the way that ari smiles when i walk in the room , and she knows that sonny is the first one out of bed when ari wakes up at night . nick might know gabi 's weaknesses and ours . but that does n't change the fact that gabi is a mother , first , last , and always . so i know that she will stand up to nick , because gabi knows what 's best for our daughter , and that is for me and sonny to stay in her life . gabi : no , no , will would never let sami take my baby away from me . nick : but ... gabi , think about when will 's mom got involved before . you know what i mean ? i do n't blame him . but sami seems to have some type of hold over will . and with ej dimera as -- as his lawyer , sami 's fiancé ... gabi : okay , but this agreement , okay , it says that will can only see arianna every other weekend , and we spend a lot of time together . i mean , that would kill him . and sonny too . nick : i know . but those terms just -- just set the minimum . if you were in charge of visitation , as the primary caregiver , as ari 's mother , you could adapt it and let will see the baby whenever he wanted . gabi : i do n't -- i do n't know , nick . i mean , i want to do what 's best for arianna , but -- nick : i know . i know . come here . come here . you do not need to decide this right now , okay ? just take a deep breath . [ breathes deeply ] there 's no pressure . i got something for you . i got this for you to show you that i - i believe in you . gabi : oh , this is , um , like the one you gave will and sonny . is this -- nick : yeah , it 's a -- it 's our names . i think that our love is just as special . you know , we 've been doing really well lately , and we 've overcome so much together . i want us to be a couple again . and i know that in your heart that that 's what you want too . i 'm their mom at the playground abigail : i 'm sorry , ben . i owe you an apology . that was incredibly rude of me . ben : you do n't have anything to be sorry for . i 'm sure last night was really tough on you . abigail : well , it was , but still , that 's no reason to snap at you like i did . ben : it 's forgotten . abigail : so the answer to your , uh , totally appropriate question is yes , i 'm -- i 'm fine . ben : i 'm really glad that everything 's over and everybody 's okay . abigail : thank you . ben : i got ta get back to work . abigail : okay . jordan : [ sighs ] rafe : [ sighs ] hey . why are n't you looking at me ? jordan : i - i just feel silly for saying what i did . rafe : oh . really ? come here . you know , i 'm flattered to be the first person you 've ever said those words to . and i 'm not so naive to think that i 'm the only person you 've ever been involved with . jordan : but it 's different with you . i 've never felt as safe as i do when i 'm in your arms . gabi : nick , even if we did get back together , i mean , what does this have to do with will and arianna ? nick : look ... i 've tried really hard . you 've seen that , right ? gabi : yeah , but -- nick : and it 's been months since i came back to salem and i said to everyone that i would put all of the bad stuff that happened behind us . and all of them knew that i could put them in prison for a long time , each and every one of them , and i did n't . you know , it 's like i 've tried every which way i can think of to convince them that my intentions are good , and they refuse to believe that i 've changed . you 're the only one , gabi . the only one who 's done that . gabi : okay , so your point is ? nick : because i 'm in your life again . right ? and because ej and kate and sami and will and sonny -- because they refuse to even give me the slightest benefit of the doubt , they might do everything in their power to keep us away from your baby . sami : well , um , okay . i mean , i hear you . [ chuckles ] obviously you know gabi better than i do , and it seems like you three do have a great relationship that you 're working out here , so i mean , who am i to say , right ? i mean , maybe it is reasonable to think that she 's not gon na shove this draconian custody agreement down your throats . will : we know she wo n't . sami : okay . and ej 's gon na deal with nick , so it 's all gon na work out . sonny : definitely . sami : well , good . i 'm so glad i came . you have no idea . i feel so much better about everything now . sonny : do you wan na take a peek at your granddaughter ? sami : oh , um , you know , i would love to , but i know she 's sleeping , i know how precious that is . so you know what , i was thinking maybe , um , we 'll make a plan to have a play date . sydney and johnny and allie . they are dying to play with arianna too , so why do n't we schedule something ? the weather 's so nice , we 'll go to the park . we 'll do something fun . sonny : yeah , yeah . sami : i love you both . i 'll see you soon , okay ? maybe this weekend . does that sound good ? will : that sounds great , yeah . sami : okay . bye . sonny : see ya . sami : [ sighs ] i have to find a way to put the screws to gabi hernandez . and i know just the person to do it . jordan : mm ... as perfect as this is , i do n't think we can lay in bed all day .

[ phone ringing ] gabi : i have to get this . will : no . gabi : will ! will : do n't do this . do not take our daughter away from me ! gabi : i swear to you , i want you to see arianna as much as you want whenever you want , i swear to you . will : okay . good . but you 're sorry ? gabi : i 'm sorry because of nick . everything 's gon na be okay . it has to be . will : do n't tell me that he 's changed . gabi : he has . he has changed . and i have to say it , and i have to believe it , because if i do n't , will , then i 'm gon na lose my mind . i have to go see my little girl . abigail : i really -- i just wanted to , um , apologize ... nick : oh . abigail : to you for what happened the other day . nick : yeah . abigail : you know , ben really misunderstood things . nick : yeah . yeah , he did . but ... he 's not the one i 'm worried about . abigail : me ? nick : yeah . you . i mean , maybe you should take a tip from what happened to your mom last night . or what almost happened to your mom that could 've been a lot worse . abigail : what are you talking about ? nick : getting involved with the wrong guy can come back to haunt you . ej : mr. ruggles , does anybody other than you and mr. fallon have knowledge of the photograph you took of myself and ms . deveraux ? percy : no , sir . ej : and you were instructed to follow abigail to smith island that day ? percy : yes , sir . ej : by mr. fallon ? percy : mr. fallon was planning his return , and was considering speaking to his cousin first , but after i alerted him to ms . devereaux 's itinerary , he seemed curious -- [ phone rings ] percy : oh , um , may i answer that , sir ? [ phone rings ] ej : why bother ? where you 're going , you 're not gon na need a telephone . abigail : if you have a point , nick , i 'm not getting it . nick : i 'm talking about ben , abigail . unless -- is there some other person that you 've been seeing lately ? abigail : no , i 'm not seeing ben , okay ? i 'm not seeing anyone , actually . i barely even know ben . nick : well , he was n't acting like that the other day . i mean , anybody who saw that would 've said that the two of you had something going on bet -- abigail : nick , stop , okay ? you 're way outta line here , all right ? we were arguing , and when you stepped closer to me , you got really intense . nick : really intense ? as in what , dangerous ? are you saying there 's some reason that you should be afraid of me ? i have to pay the price . is that it ? your new acquaintance assaults me , and that 's my fault . unbelievable . abigail : nick , stop . what is wrong with you ? nick : what is wrong with me ? we 're family , abigail . does n't that count for anything with you ? abigail : of course it does . you know that . it 's -- ben is n't even -- nick : what , he 's not a psycho ? a stalker ? how do you think he knew where we were ? tell me you 're not that naive , abigail . what , you think he just wandered upon the two of us having a private conversation ? abigail : i do n't understand , nick , where is all of this coming from ? nick : that 's because you 're not thinking . you need to start drawing a distinction between the people who really care about you and the people who are trying to control you . ej : you can consider your relationship with mr. fallon terminated . when you go downstairs , you will find two gentlemen waiting for you . percy : uh , two -- two gentlemen ? ej : they 're gon na take you on a ride to your house , where you 're gon na furnish them with everything you have that pertains to your relationship with mr. fallon . then you 're gon na go and get your passport , they 're gon na take you to an airstrip , and you 're gon na get on a plane back to devon . percy : devon ? ej : devon , mr. ruggles . you remember devon . where the wild ponies roam . you can consider yourself very lucky that i 'm putting you out to pasture . i do n't really care what you do in devon . watch birds . but i would n't come back to salem if i were you . do we understand one another ? percy : i am , if nothing else , a practical man . ej : good boy . now , i 'm sure you can understand that you 've really tested the limits of my patience and generosity . so do me a favor . get out of my sight . sonny : hey , are you okay ? i ran right over . will : you are not gon na believe the scene that i just had with gabi . she kept saying she was sorry , endless apologies , and then she goes on to say that i can visit ari whenever i want to . sonny : you know what ? she 's -- she 's lost . and we really ca n't blame her because nick has complete control over her . and i feel she thinks she ca n't fight him . will : well , she ca n't . he can put her away in prison whenever he wants to , just like the rest of us . [ knock at door ] gabi : [ sighs ] rafe : hey . how 's it going ? gabi : great . rafe : hmm . gabi : so who told you ? rafe : who told me what ? gabi : about the custody agreement . jordan : you 're desperate and bitter . sheryl could n't help you concoct your story about me so you shipped her off to houston , taking whatever consolation , and depriving me of having a close friend nearby . kate : hmm . your paranoia that i am out to get you is nothing if not consistent and laughable . jordan : oh , can we just stop lying to each other , kate ? you have been trying to dig up dirt about me for weeks and weeks , and you have found nothing . and that is because there is nothing to find . kate : oh , my god . you 're right . let 's stop lying to each other , jordan . let 's get it all out in the open . let 's end it right now . kate : for a professional liar , you have a terrible tell . but you 're lucky , because i have bigger fish to fry at the moment . so enjoy your happy time with rafe . who knows ? maybe when the truth comes out about you , he will have fallen for you so hard that he wo n't even care . jordan : there is nothing to come out . i 'm not gon na have you throwing this -- kate : do n't push me , jordan ! or whoever the hell you really are . jordan : you know nothing . you are just a bully . a woman scorned . you know your best days are behind you , and you can not accept the fact that rafe saw that too , and he dumped you . kate : i told you i will not let rafe be hurt . not by who you were , not by who you are , and not by who you plan to be next , joan cooper ! rafe : does n't matter who told me . 'cause i know you . i know the type of person you are , i know that you would never want to sign an agreement that limits will 's contact with arianna to every other weekend . gabi ? gabi : that 's exactly what i want , rafe . will : if nick is completely controlling gabi , if she feels forced to do whatever he wants her to do to keep herself and the rest of us out of prison , then ... we could lose ari . sonny : will , listen to me . i do n't care what we have to do , but we 're not gon na let that happen . sami : abigail , hi . thank you so much for meeting me . i know you did n't want to meet here . abigail : it 's no big deal . so what do you want to talk to me about ? sami : oh , it 's about nick . uh , come on . uh , listen . i know that you 're kind of close to him , and i am desperate here . abigail : why ? sami : nick is trying to take will 's daughter away from will and sonny . and i just need to find someone that he trusts , that he cares about , someone who will convince him what a terrible idea that is . abigail : i know exactly who to call . nick : percy , i need those patent papers that i -- ej : you wanted my attention , mr. fallon . you have it . | while ej was trying to figure out who sent the pictures of him and abby , johnny showed him a picture of percy dressed as santa claus . gabi had nick look over the custody agreement . she thought it was wrong , but nick thought it was right . he wanted her to get a court date as soon as possible . sami let will and sonny know that gabi was n't going to get away with keeping arianna away from them . gabi and nick disagreed on getting the court date . sami told will and sonny that they ca n't bring up nick 's criminal past or they would all end up in prison . when johnny told ej that the santa claus said greetings , ej realized who took the picture . ej got on the phone and wanted information on him . will believed gabi would stand up to nick and keep him and sonny in arianna 's life . nick tried to convince gabi that sami would convince will to take the baby from her . nick told gabi that he wanted to get back together . he reminded her how he 's changed since he 's been back and no one believed him except for her . he thought kate , sami , ej , will , and sonny would keep the baby from them . nick got gabi 's phone and wanted her to talk to aiden about the agreement as well as the court date . gabi agreed to do it . nick said not to tell anyone about the court date agreement . | <s>[INST] jordan : hey . rafe : hey . i was waiting for you to wake up . jordan : [ sighs ] oh , my gosh , look at the time . rafe : i know . sorry about that . i kept you up late , did n't i ? jordan : i did n't mind . rafe : but the way things came out ... not exactly the way i would 've planned it . jordan : things ? rafe : things that we said . i 'd have preferred ... i love you . i love you so much . jordan : oh ... abigail : crazy and totally terrifying . will : but your mom 's okay now , right ? abigail : yeah . yeah , she 's okay . they all are . it 's just upsetting , you know ? i mean , this lunatic was stalking my mom . he could 've killed her . he almost did . it was a mess . nicole shot daniel by mistake , and luckily he 's okay , so ... anyway , uh , i just got to the club , so i 'm gon na try to find sonny and fill him in , okay ? will : he 's actually here now . arianna is teething , so he was on night duty and i 'm letting him sleep in . abigail : okay , then i 'll talk to you later . will : take care . i 'm really glad your mom 's all right . abigail : thank you . me too . bye . [ gasps ] oh . ben : are you okay ? ej : no . the photographs from the ferry are useless . did you get a log of the private boats that docked at smith island that night ? johnny : daddy , daddy ! ej : not now , johnny , i 'm busy , please . johnny : this is important too . i found a picture of santa claus ! kate : bird watching ? percy : ah , greetings . do you know what this is ? kate : $ 2.99 at the street market ? percy : just a little experiment that nick set up . it 's an illustration of thermodynamics . the science of the relationship between heat and work . no ? [ clears throat ] you see , with hot air -- kate : of which there is plenty in this room . percy : [ chuckles ] you are as drole as you are magnanimous . kate : is that a thank - you ? percy : oh , yes . for the most generous raise . kate : mm - hmm . well , you see , people in positions of power , like me , we see an additional $ 10,000 a year , which is unearned , as rude money . which means i pay you more than you 're worth so i can be rude to you with impunity . now , where 's nick ? gabi : thanks for checking this out for me , nick . nick : yeah . gabi : when i showed will the custody agreement , he sort of freaked . but i explained to him , or at least i think i did , that this is not even close to what we 're gon na end up with , that this is how the lawyers -- nick : no , no , mr. jennings laid this out perfectly . this -- this is exactly how it should be . sami : is gabi here ? will : mom , you ca n't just show up like that . sonny : gabi 's not home . sami : does she have arianna with her ? sonny : no , ari 's sleeping . sami : wow , she left the baby alone with you . that 's so surprising , given what she was asking for in the custody agreement . do n't play dumb . kate already told me . will : i know you told me not to tell grandma , but it 's a moot point now , all of this . ej said it 's just a negotiating position . everything 's gon na be okay . sami : i know what ej said , but this is gabi and nick we are talking about here , and i am not going to stand by and do nothing . nick : gabi , you need to listen to me on this . you need to call the lawyer and get him to put in a request for a court date asap , all right ? lock this down , get it done . ej : where did you get this ? johnny : allie 's daddy sent it to her . percy : ms. roberts , surely you know by now that mr. fallon prefers to do the lion 's share of his work after the sun sets . he is nocturnal . kate : most bloodsuckers are . percy : i have observed firsthand just how creative my superior can be when he 's able to shut out the world . kate : aw ... too bad nick did n't shut out the world permanently when we dropped him into that river . gabi : nick , mr. jennings said that we ask for everything and then we dial it back , that we -- nick : gabi , do you really think that sami is gon na settle for anything less than what she wants ? gabi : okay , but what sami wants -- nick : she made it really clear . she thinks that you are an unfit mother . she is gon na do everything in her power to take your baby away from you . sonny : sami , i 'm not gon na fight with you . i 'm with will on this . i ca n't see gabi suddenly doing a 180 and only letting us see ari every other weekend . sami : okay , what about nick ? can you picture him doing that ? sonny : he does n't have any rights in this equation . sami : gabi does whatever he tells her to do . sonny : still , if for some insane reason , we go to court and gabi and nick are together , his criminal record alone would help us . sami : sonny , it 's not an option . sonny : what do you mean ? sami : nick made it clear to me that if any of us bring up his past in court , or try to use it to help us with the custody hearing , he will make sure we all end up in prison . jordan : [ sighs ] rafe : you 're upset ? jordan : no , no , i -- it 's just that i , um ... well , i 'd never ... rafe : what ? just tell me . it 's okay . jordan : i have never said those words to a man before . rafe : oh . jordan : and so i kind of want to say them again for a second time . rafe : okay . jordan : i love you , rafe . abigail : were you seriously just listening in to my conversation ? ben : i was seriously bringing you your usual soy caramel latte . i have n't tried to hide the fact that i can hear , and you know , certain things like , `` some stalker almost killed my mom , `` they just kinda grab your attention . abigail : okay , i get it . this is none of your concern , ben , okay ? ben : you 're right . look , and i know that i was wrong to come in between you and that guy nick , but look , since i know your name and you know my name , it 's not totally out of line for me to ask if you 're okay after somebody hurt somebody that you care about . ej : so , johnny , did you get your photograph taken with this santa as well ? johnny : yeah . i do n't know where it is , though . i wish i did . this santa was funny . ej : how so ? johnny : instead of saying , `` ho , ho , ho , `` he said , `` greetings . `` [ chuckles ] ej : `` greetings `` ? gabi : what about mr. greetings ? what -- what did he say ? ej : would you please stop calling him that ? it sounds ridiculous . kate : okay , his name is percy , percy ruggles . ej : thank you for showing me the picture , johnny . it was very funny . johnny : you were n't laughing . ej : i know . come on . off you go . thank you . yes , it 's me . listen , i need you to find out everything you can about a gentleman called percy ruggles . kate : so these patent forms for the new formula need to be filled out by nick before sunset tonight , thank you . is that clear ? you know , mr. ruggles , you do seem like a nice gentleman . i have to wonder how someone so nice could be so comfortable being a lackey to a man like nick fallon . percy : we all do what we must , ms . roberts . kate : mm . on that we do agree . will : no , i wo n't buy into that , mom . now , nick may hold some sway over gabi , but she is totally aware of what my role and sonny 's is in arianna 's life . sami : nick has all the information . will : and ari has all three of us . gabi sees the way that ari smiles when i walk in the room , and she knows that sonny is the first one out of bed when ari wakes up at night . nick might know gabi 's weaknesses and ours . but that does n't change the fact that gabi is a mother , first , last , and always . so i know that she will stand up to nick , because gabi knows what 's best for our daughter , and that is for me and sonny to stay in her life . gabi : no , no , will would never let sami take my baby away from me . nick : but ... gabi , think about when will 's mom got involved before . you know what i mean ? i do n't blame him . but sami seems to have some type of hold over will . and with ej dimera as -- as his lawyer , sami 's fiancé ... gabi : okay , but this agreement , okay , it says that will can only see arianna every other weekend , and we spend a lot of time together . i mean , that would kill him . and sonny too . nick : i know . but those terms just -- just set the minimum . if you were in charge of visitation , as the primary caregiver , as ari 's mother , you could adapt it and let will see the baby whenever he wanted . gabi : i do n't -- i do n't know , nick . i mean , i want to do what 's best for arianna , but -- nick : i know . i know . come here . come here . you do not need to decide this right now , okay ? just take a deep breath . [ breathes deeply ] there 's no pressure . i got something for you . i got this for you to show you that i - i believe in you . gabi : oh , this is , um , like the one you gave will and sonny . is this -- nick : yeah , it 's a -- it 's our names . i think that our love is just as special . you know , we 've been doing really well lately , and we 've overcome so much together . i want us to be a couple again . and i know that in your heart that that 's what you want too . i 'm their mom at the playground abigail : i 'm sorry , ben . i owe you an apology . that was incredibly rude of me . ben : you do n't have anything to be sorry for . i 'm sure last night was really tough on you . abigail : well , it was , but still , that 's no reason to snap at you like i did . ben : it 's forgotten . abigail : so the answer to your , uh , totally appropriate question is yes , i 'm -- i 'm fine . ben : i 'm really glad that everything 's over and everybody 's okay . abigail : thank you . ben : i got ta get back to work . abigail : okay . jordan : [ sighs ] rafe : [ sighs ] hey . why are n't you looking at me ? jordan : i - i just feel silly for saying what i did . rafe : oh . really ? come here . you know , i 'm flattered to be the first person you 've ever said those words to . and i 'm not so naive to think that i 'm the only person you 've ever been involved with . jordan : but it 's different with you . i 've never felt as safe as i do when i 'm in your arms . gabi : nick , even if we did get back together , i mean , what does this have to do with will and arianna ? nick : look ... i 've tried really hard . you 've seen that , right ? gabi : yeah , but -- nick : and it 's been months since i came back to salem and i said to everyone that i would put all of the bad stuff that happened behind us . and all of them knew that i could put them in prison for a long time , each and every one of them , and i did n't . you know , it 's like i 've tried every which way i can think of to convince them that my intentions are good , and they refuse to believe that i 've changed . you 're the only one , gabi . the only one who 's done that . gabi : okay , so your point is ? nick : because i 'm in your life again . right ? and because ej and kate and sami and will and sonny -- because they refuse to even give me the slightest benefit of the doubt , they might do everything in their power to keep us away from your baby . sami : well , um , okay . i mean , i hear you . [ chuckles ] obviously you know gabi better than i do , and it seems like you three do have a great relationship that you 're working out here , so i mean , who am i to say , right ? i mean , maybe it is reasonable to think that she 's not gon na shove this draconian custody agreement down your throats . will : we know she wo n't . sami : okay . and ej 's gon na deal with nick , so it 's all gon na work out . sonny : definitely . sami : well , good . i 'm so glad i came . you have no idea . i feel so much better about everything now . sonny : do you wan na take a peek at your granddaughter ? sami : oh , um , you know , i would love to , but i know she 's sleeping , i know how precious that is . so you know what , i was thinking maybe , um , we 'll make a plan to have a play date . sydney and johnny and allie . they are dying to play with arianna too , so why do n't we schedule something ? the weather 's so nice , we 'll go to the park . we 'll do something fun . sonny : yeah , yeah . sami : i love you both . i 'll see you soon , okay ? maybe this weekend . does that sound good ? will : that sounds great , yeah . sami : okay . bye . sonny : see ya . sami : [ sighs ] i have to find a way to put the screws to gabi hernandez . and i know just the person to do it . jordan : mm ... as perfect as this is , i do n't think we can lay in bed all day . [ chuckles ] rafe : i do n't have to go to work for a while , actually . [ phone rings ] jordan : ooh , sounds like someone spoke too soon . rafe : ah . jordan : oh . rafe : oh , excuse me . jordan : [ laughs ] rafe : oh , it 's sami . she says it 's important . jordan : oh . you should take care of it . rafe : yeah . jordan : well , does she say what it 's about ? rafe : no . no , but i have a pretty good idea . nick : and what about rafe ? gabi : what about him ? nick : i mean , your brother ca n't stand me , gabi . i mean , do you really think that he 's ever gon na accept us as a couple ? gabi : well , rafe does n't tell me what to do . nick : no , but you got ta be realistic . a lot of people feel like they have an investment in this , and the only person , the only investment that actually counts , as far as arianna 's concerned , is yours . gabi : what are you doing ? nick : i - i 'm gon na call mr. jennings so that you can tell him to put in a court date request as soon as possible . this is the only way for you and arianna to stay together . gabi : mr. jennings ? it 's , uh , gabriella hernandez . i 've thought about it , and i would like for you to go ahead with the custody agreement you 've drawn up , and i i 'd also like for you to ... get a court date as soon as you can . thank you . nick : and you have to be sure to not tell anybody about the court date request . right ? look , i know that you 're really worried , gabi , but i have everything under control . it does n't have a date yet . but i really hope that it 's soon . [ door closes ] percy : ah , the paperwork is ready for your perusal . ej : i do n't think you 'll be needing those documents , mr. ruggles . unless that is , of course , your last will and testament . percy : greetings . jordan : [ sighs ] kate : you look like you 're walking on air . jordan : well , it 's a wonderful day , that even seeing you ca n't ruin . rafe : i got here as fast as i could . sami : will you please talk some sense into gabi ? rafe : what ? oh . now you want me to get involved ? what happened to , `` rafe , you better back off , you 're gon na push nick fallon back into her arms `` ? sami : circumstances have changed . arianna is involved . rafe : uh , she 's gabi 's daughter . when was she not involved ? sami : okay . look , there 's a custody agreement now . and the way that gabi had it drawn up , it makes it look like will and sonny are deadbeat dads . rafe : what ? sami : yeah , it 's ridiculous . i mean , it is totally unfair . rafe : and you think gabi wanted this ? sami : no , no , i think gabi was railroaded . i do not blame her . i blame nick . rafe : right . okay , sami , i ca n't help you with half a story . so you 're gon na tell me everything right now . and i want to know what 's happening with nick that everyone is keeping from me . ej : greetings , indeed . i can tell by the look on your face that no introduction is necessary . you evidently know who i am . percy : um -- um , mr. fallon 's due any m -- ej : mr. fallon seldom comes to this office . he devotes most of his time to destroying the lives of people outside of it . and if he were to make an appearance , i 've made arrangements for him as well . percy : arrangements ? ej : as you know who i am ... i 'm fairly sure i can count on your cooperation . percy : of course , mr. dimera . ej : sit . let 's get to the point , shall we ? it was you who took that rather invasive photograph of myself and ms . deveraux , was it not ? and who brought it to my house ? percy : i did , sir . ej : under the direction of nick fallon ? percy : yes , sir . ej : such a waste . you ever stop to think about how much more pleasant and safe everybody 's lives , including your own , would be if you 'd left mr. fallon in the river where you found him ? will : hi . oh , sorry . i - i did n't mean to scare you . gabi : it 's okay . i 'm the one who should be sorry for being late . you have other things to do . oh , it 's no problem . arianna 's asleep , finally . is everything okay ? what ? gabi : you know , people used to ask me that question all the time . it 's such a nothing question . meaningless . and sometimes things are okay , and sometimes they were n't . and it -- it was n't a big deal back then , but ... i am so sorry . will : gabi -- gabi : i 'm really , really sorry , will . will : gabi , you 're scaring me . you keep saying that you 're sorry in the way you 're saying it , but so -- sorry for what ? kate : why , i wonder , would you ever think i 've had any intention of ruining your day ? jordan : oh , gut feeling . kate : huh . i 've told you . i have no issue with you and rafe , jordan . jordan : [ chuckles ] yes , you have told me . but i do n't believe you . and i 'm pretty sure you would 've been much happier had i just kept my distance like i did when i first came to town , but i was a different person then . kate : well , you 'll have to forgive me . i do n't believe that your transformation was all due to rafe . in fact , i do n't believe you actually were ever the woman that you said you were before you even met him . rafe : i know that look . you 're desperate . and you want me to talk some sense into gabi , but how can i do that ? how can i get her to listen to me if i do n't actually know what i am dealing with ? sami , i need you to tell me what the hell is going on . [ both grunting ] [ both screaming ] nick : help ! [ all screaming ] sami : i ca n't , okay ? i just -- rafe : for the love of god . sami : i 'm sorry . i understand that you are frustrated . we all are , okay ? but you have to believe me that there is a very good reason that you do not know the whole story . rafe : okay . that makes great sense . so you 're asking -- you want me to tell my sister to change her behavior , and yet i have no idea why she 's behaving the way she is . sami : this is about the custody agreement . the way that it is drawn up now , will only gets to see ari every other weekend . rafe : what ? sami : yeah . rafe : you 're kidding me . there 's no w -- and gabi agreed to this ? sami : obviously this is nick 's idea . i understand that , all right ? but he 's the one who hired her lawyer . rafe : you 're kidding me . sami : no . and he said that that 's how lawyers operate . he said that -- he said that the lawyer asks for more and then they work backwards . but i do n't believe that . i think that nick is going to tell her to leave it as it is . rafe : well , i 'm sure he 'd never do that . sami : gabi 's not the one in charge here . rafe : nick is . sami : exactly . rafe : but you wo n't tell me how or why . sami : i ca n't . rafe : that son of a bitch . he 's going around this whole time complaining about no one will trust him , that he 's changed . he has n't changed a damn bit . sami : texting gabi ? rafe : yup . i 'm gon na get her to meet me right now , and she 's gon na tell me everything . oh , and i can guarantee you one thing . there is no way that she is gon na keep will away from arianna . will : gabi , whatever it is you 've done , it can change .

[ phone rings ] ej : why bother ? where you 're going , you 're not gon na need a telephone . abigail : if you have a point , nick , i 'm not getting it . nick : i 'm talking about ben , abigail . unless -- is there some other person that you 've been seeing lately ? abigail : no , i 'm not seeing ben , okay ? i 'm not seeing anyone , actually . i barely even know ben . nick : well , he was n't acting like that the other day . i mean , anybody who saw that would 've said that the two of you had something going on bet -- abigail : nick , stop , okay ? you 're way outta line here , all right ? we were arguing , and when you stepped closer to me , you got really intense . nick : really intense ? as in what , dangerous ? are you saying there 's some reason that you should be afraid of me ? i have to pay the price . is that it ? your new acquaintance assaults me , and that 's my fault . unbelievable . abigail : nick , stop . what is wrong with you ? nick : what is wrong with me ? we 're family , abigail . does n't that count for anything with you ? abigail : of course it does . you know that . it 's -- ben is n't even -- nick : what , he 's not a psycho ? a stalker ? how do you think he knew where we were ? tell me you 're not that naive , abigail . what , you think he just wandered upon the two of us having a private conversation ? abigail : i do n't understand , nick , where is all of this coming from ? nick : that 's because you 're not thinking . you need to start drawing a distinction between the people who really care about you and the people who are trying to control you . ej : you can consider your relationship with mr. fallon terminated . when you go downstairs , you will find two gentlemen waiting for you . percy : uh , two -- two gentlemen ? ej : they 're gon na take you on a ride to your house , where you 're gon na furnish them with everything you have that pertains to your relationship with mr. fallon . then you 're gon na go and get your passport , they 're gon na take you to an airstrip , and you 're gon na get on a plane back to devon . percy : devon ? ej : devon , mr. ruggles . you remember devon . where the wild ponies roam . you can consider yourself very lucky that i 'm putting you out to pasture . i do n't really care what you do in devon . watch birds . but i would n't come back to salem if i were you . do we understand one another ? percy : i am , if nothing else , a practical man . ej : good boy . now , i 'm sure you can understand that you 've really tested the limits of my patience and generosity . so do me a favor . get out of my sight . sonny : hey , are you okay ? i ran right over . will : you are not gon na believe the scene that i just had with gabi . she kept saying she was sorry , endless apologies , and then she goes on to say that i can visit ari whenever i want to . sonny : you know what ? she 's -- she 's lost . and we really ca n't blame her because nick has complete control over her . and i feel she thinks she ca n't fight him . will : well , she ca n't . he can put her away in prison whenever he wants to , just like the rest of us . [ knock at door ] gabi : [ sighs ] rafe : hey . how 's it going ? gabi : great . rafe : hmm . gabi : so who told you ? rafe : who told me what ? gabi : about the custody agreement . jordan : you 're desperate and bitter . sheryl could n't help you concoct your story about me so you shipped her off to houston , taking whatever consolation , and depriving me of having a close friend nearby . kate : hmm . your paranoia that i am out to get you is nothing if not consistent and laughable . jordan : oh , can we just stop lying to each other , kate ? you have been trying to dig up dirt about me for weeks and weeks , and you have found nothing . and that is because there is nothing to find . kate : oh , my god . you 're right . let 's stop lying to each other , jordan . let 's get it all out in the open . let 's end it right now . kate : for a professional liar , you have a terrible tell . but you 're lucky , because i have bigger fish to fry at the moment . so enjoy your happy time with rafe . who knows ? maybe when the truth comes out about you , he will have fallen for you so hard that he wo n't even care . jordan : there is nothing to come out . i 'm not gon na have you throwing this -- kate : do n't push me , jordan ! or whoever the hell you really are . jordan : you know nothing . you are just a bully . a woman scorned . you know your best days are behind you , and you can not accept the fact that rafe saw that too , and he dumped you . kate : i told you i will not let rafe be hurt . not by who you were , not by who you are , and not by who you plan to be next , joan cooper ! rafe : does n't matter who told me . 'cause i know you . i know the type of person you are , i know that you would never want to sign an agreement that limits will 's contact with arianna to every other weekend . gabi ? gabi : that 's exactly what i want , rafe . will : if nick is completely controlling gabi , if she feels forced to do whatever he wants her to do to keep herself and the rest of us out of prison , then ... we could lose ari . sonny : will , listen to me . i do n't care what we have to do , but we 're not gon na let that happen . sami : abigail , hi . thank you so much for meeting me . i know you did n't want to meet here . abigail : it 's no big deal . so what do you want to talk to me about ? sami : oh , it 's about nick . uh , come on . uh , listen . i know that you 're kind of close to him , and i am desperate here . abigail : why ? sami : nick is trying to take will 's daughter away from will and sonny . and i just need to find someone that he trusts , that he cares about , someone who will convince him what a terrible idea that is . abigail : i know exactly who to call . nick : percy , i need those patent papers that i -- ej : you wanted my attention , mr. fallon . you have it .Summarize.[/INST]while ej was trying to figure out who sent the pictures of him and abby , johnny showed him a picture of percy dressed as santa claus . gabi had nick look over the custody agreement . she thought it was wrong , but nick thought it was right . he wanted her to get a court date as soon as possible . sami let will and sonny know that gabi was n't going to get away with keeping arianna away from them . gabi and nick disagreed on getting the court date . sami told will and sonny that they ca n't bring up nick 's criminal past or they would all end up in prison . when johnny told ej that the santa claus said greetings , ej realized who took the picture . ej got on the phone and wanted information on him . will believed gabi would stand up to nick and keep him and sonny in arianna 's life . nick tried to convince gabi that sami would convince will to take the baby from her . nick told gabi that he wanted to get back together . he reminded her how he 's changed since he 's been back and no one believed him except for her . he thought kate , sami , ej , will , and sonny would keep the baby from them . nick got gabi 's phone and wanted her to talk to aiden about the agreement as well as the court date . gabi agreed to do it . nick said not to tell anyone about the court date agreement .</s> | 7,364 |

'cause it grounds me . puts me back in reality . remember how you and i talked about the things that we could do to help us feel centered , right ? jake : yeah , i get it . it 's a good idea . hey , can you help me with something ? franco : absolutely . what do you need help with ? jake : um , grandma monica dropped off a box of old pictures a few weeks ago . she asked me to scan them to the cloud for her . i 'll bet if i finish doing that tonight , it might help grandma monica . keep her centered . me , too , i guess . franco : that 's , uh ... an almost great idea . i think if -- if you count me in , then it would be , you know , almost perfect . jake : well , then , you 're in ! franco : okay .

[ chuckles ] the simple truth is you ca n't stand the thought of somebody being upset with you . i am ! [ voice breaking ] i put myself on the line here . and you rejected me , and ... that hurts me ! i am ! i 'm upset ! and maybe i misread the signals , okay . i - i took things a bit far , okay . i own that . but despite your rationalizations , there must have been something in your behavior for me to misread , so do n't put it all on me ! griffin : you 're right ! you 're right . i 'm as much to blame for this as you are . [ scene_break ] carly : [ sighs ] i know we ca n't go back in time and find ... the definitive moment that could have changed everything . but i wish we could . you know , the , um ... the series of events , the ... chain reaction that led up to morgan getting in julian 's car that night . i mean , if one -- one thing were different , morgan would still be here . now i 'm thinking the same thing about jason . you know , like , what if ? what if -- what if he stayed jake doe ? and he never remembered his old life ? i mean , he would be safer , right ? he would never feel compelled to save sonny . [ sighs ] maybe this is all on me . i mean , i pushed and i pushed for sonny to get out of the business , to protect his family . and now it 's jason and his family who are paying the price . [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] curtis : what about the air vents ? jordan : well , roxy is a cold - blooded animal , so i really doubt that she 's going to want cold air blowing on her . no , i think that she probably has found a safe , dark place to nest . curtis : so , when did you become the lizard whisperer ? jordan : i 'm not . i just ... you remember when tj was really little , and he was so cute ? he had that pet guinea pig ? curtis : guinea pig , yeah . jordan : yeah , the thing got loose . was bamboo ? curtis : i mean , that 's hardly the same as a bearded ... lizard , dragon . jordan : no , okay , but they 're both pets who are not as domesticated as , say , a dog or cat , right ? the minute they get a shot of freedom , then out they go . [ snaps fingers ] i must have spent ... an entire sunday afternoon searching our apartment for that damn guinea pig . and you know what ? i 'll tell you what , it was well worth it to see the look and the smile on tj 's face when i found his pet . curtis : well , you know , the things we do for those we love . jordan : um ... let 's see ... ooh . well , well , well . look what we have here . [ scene_break ] griffin : ava , i am sorry i sent you mixed messages . the fact is i enjoy your company thoroughly . even before your accident , i felt our connection . maybe in a different world , there would be more to explore between us , but i - i ca n't let myself go there . not in my ... head , and not in my heart . and i 'm not trying to dismiss your feelings . i have feelings , too . desire does n't just go away when you take sacred vows , but i did take them . i should n't have been reckless with your heart while i danced on the edge of that line . i ... i 'm sorry . ava : that 's it ? that 's your apology ? you used me to play with fire , and you did n't think that anybody was going to get burned ? well , take it from me ... fire does n't work that way . griffin : the vow of celibacy is sacred . i should never cross that line . ava : [ scoffs ] well , where was that vow when you hopped into the sack with claudette ? [ scene_break ] jake : this is my dad when he was a teenager . he looks so different . franco : well , i mean , that 's because of the accident . you -- you know that . but he pulled through 'cause he 's a tough guy and he survives . that 's what he does , and that 's what he 's going to do this time . jake : everyone keeps saying that . but no one knows for sure . franco : i 'm pretty sure that your dad is going to stick around , if for no other reason than to keep us all on our toes , right ?

[ scene_break ] griffin : what happened with claudette , that affair , that was a mistake . i 've never been so ashamed of anything in my entire life , but that helped me refocus , reconnect to the life that 's better for me and everyone else . ava : will you stop lying ? if you ca n't be honest with me , at least be honest with yourself . if claudette had left nathan west to be with you , would you have walked away from her , or would you have followed your heart and walked away from the priesthood ? you know , i have nothing but respect for priests . they answer a calling that i can not possibly understand . but it 's not for every man , and i 'm betting it 's not for you . oh , do n't look so shocked . you have n't been a real priest in a long time , griffin . you had one foot out the door because of a woman -- a passionate blonde with a self - destructive streak . guess you have a type , huh ? but it does make me wonder -- why claudette and not me ? why was she able to tempt you away from your vows and i ca n't ? oh , i know . it 's because of my face . [ scene_break ] michael : so , uh , when 'd you get in ? nelle : uh , just a little while ago . i came straight here to see how you were doing . how is -- how 's jason ? michael : um ... uh , there 's still no updates . he 's still in a coma . [ sighs ] are you okay ? you look a little exhausted . nelle : it was a long flight . michael : you did n't get any sleep ? nelle : i was a little restless , i guess . i do n't know . michael : well , is everything okay ? did they find the missing necklace ? bobbie : missing necklace ? nelle : yeah , it was all just -- it was just a big misunderstanding , and yes , it turned up . do n't worry . but , um ... not before i had to spend the night in jail . [ scene_break ] carly : so you 're not , uh , divesting ... your territories or giving up any of your business interests ? sonny : i 'm putting a halt to everything . we did this to protect our family , but i ca n't do this unless i 'm in a position of strength . carly : by holding onto your territories ? sonny : what happened with petrov is just one example . my allies , my enemies -- if they see my walking away , they 're gon na -- they 're gon na strike , and i ca n't let them see me weak again . carly : sonny -- sonny : listen . no , no . no , no , just let me -- let me -- i - i ... i tried , carly . i wanted -- i wanted to give you the life that you deserve , that i - i wanted to do for you , i wanted to do for us . i 've done this too many times now . i ca n't do it . i 'm gon na have to recommit myself to the organization , and i know you do n't want to be any part of that . and i do n't blame you . so i got to do ... whether it 's hard -- oh , it 's very hard ... i got to do what 's right . i - i got to let you go . [ scene_break ] jake : what 's wrong , mom ? is dad okay ? elizabeth : oh , yeah , yeah . baby , he 's fine . he 's ... he 's still sleeping . i 'm just tired . it 's been a long day at work , that 's all . what are you boys up to ? jake : um , i was just scanning these pictures for grandma monica , and franco was helping me finish the project . elizabeth : oh , that 's such a nice idea . but , you know , we got to get back on a school schedule , so why do n't you take this stuff upstairs and get ready for bed , okay ? jake : okay . elizabeth : okay . i love you . jake : me , too . franco : okay . come on , what 's going on ? elizabeth : [ sighs ] just coming home to you and jake , seeing you guys sitting there smiling and safe , knowing cameron and aiden are probably making a mess upstairs . i have a lot . i have so much , while sam ... is still sitting in the hospital wondering if jason 's ever gon na wake up . she 's barely left his side . she told sonny all she wants is ... just a little more time with him . franco : which is totally understandable . elizabeth : i 'm part of the reason ... she lost time with jason . 'cause i lied to create an illusion of having a family with him , i stole their precious time together , and now it might be running out . i do n't know how sam or danny could ever forgive me . i do n't know how to forgive myself . [ scene_break ] sonny : i do n't have to tell you that you and the kids mean everything to me . so here 's -- here 's what we should do -- cut all ties , resume the divorce . that way , we can put some distance between us . they ca n't use you as leverage . and if you think i 'm not gon na miss you , you 're crazy , 'cause i - i 'm gon na miss you so much . but at least i 'll be able to sleep at night -- carly : you got to stop . you got to stop , because i 'm not going anywhere . sonny : what are you saying , carly ? carly : we need each other , sonny , now more than ever . sonny : [ sighs ] carly : i pushed you to leave the business because i blamed the business for the cycle of violence that surrounded us , and i wanted to break that cycle . i thought i could help you . but it ca n't be broken , not without cost . listen to me , okay ? if you ca n't leave the business , and you have to stay in the business , you have to make sure that you are so powerful that no one comes after you or your family . i get that now , and i 'm with you , all the way . [ scene_break ] michael : this is ridiculous . where -- where was nina in all this ? did she at least call the u.s. embassy ? nelle : yeah , she called them . someone from the consulate showed up to the police station within , i do n't know , 15 minutes . they made such a stink about it , they did n't -- they did n't even put me in a cell . you know , i was just in the holding room all night , and then they escorted me back to nina 's the next morning . michael : this whole thing is absolutely insane . nelle : yeah , well , thankfully -- thankfully , mr. cassadine found the necklace in one of the makeup artist 's bags . i guess -- i guess she did n't know it was in there . you know , i was told rochelle just had no idea . michael : who 's that ? is that the redhead ? i - i - i - i know a naomi , but i do n't think i met rochelle . nelle : you know , come to think of it , the makeup artist 's name was naomi . rochelle was the name mr. cassadine gave . i do n't know . maybe he got it mixed up ? i 'm just so glad it is over with , and i just want to go home and take a shower . michael : yeah , why do n't you do that , then ? why do n't you do that ? why -- why do n't you go home -- run on home , get some rest . bobbie : that sounds like a good idea . nelle : do you want to come with me ? we can order food , get some rest , and then we can come back and see jason first thing in the morning . michael : um ... you know what ? yeah , i 'd , um ... i 'd love that . nelle : okay . michael : yeah , let 's do that . yeah . um ... grandma , are you -- are you gon na be here ? bobbie : sure , honey , i 'll stay and wait . michael : okay . thank you . um , just call me , please , with any updates . bobbie : absolutely . i 'm on the case . michael : all right . thank you . [ scene_break ] griffin : ava , i do n't care how you look . i care about you as a person . ava : oh , please . save the noble talk . i care how i look . the world cares how i look . so why do n't we just face the fact ? why do n't we say it out loud ? if i was n't so disfigured , i might be able to tempt you , once again , from your vows . griffin : no . ava , my vows will be part of my life regardless if i 'm a practicing priest or not . ava : i was so impressed with you -- your dedication , your compassion . but now i see the flaw . you wo n't ... you ca n't take responsibility for yourself at all . you use the priesthood as a crutch . you could 've resigned -- you probably should 've resigned -- years ago , but you did n't . and why ? because if you can hide behind that collar , then you do n't have to get your hands dirty . you are a flesh - and - blood man with needs and wants and anger and fears , and it 's all so messy . it scares you to death . you know what 's so funny ? [ chuckles ] all this time , you 've been telling me not to hide behind my mask . at least i admit that i 'm wearing one . [ scene_break ] curtis : she 's safe . jordan : mission accomplished . curtis : whew ! jordan : we did it . curtis : yes . [ both chuckle ] curtis : yeah , um ... you know , i 've had dea cases less stressful than that . jordan : [ laughing ] right ? curtis : [ chuckles ] wow . well , we should celebrate . i sure could use a drink . how about you ? jordan : maybe i should n't , you know ? curtis : hmm . well , you were on your way to the bar anyway , unless you all of a sudden like drinking by yourself nowadays . jordan : [ scoffs ] curtis : now , uh ... should i get you a glass or out of the bottle like you always do ? jordan : what do you mean ? better give me that thing . what do you think ? [ chuckles ] curtis : what do i think ? i think we make a good team . we always have , and we always will . [ kissing ] [ scene_break ] sonny : you 've been wanting me to get out for years , carly . carly : i still do ! hopefully one day , but not now . reality has come crashing down around us , sonny . we 're gon na have to recommit to your business until you can leave safely , and i will be sitting right by your side . sonny : i do not want you to become a target . carly : i have been a target since i fell in love with you . walking away is not gon na change that . sonny : i hate this ! you know i hate it , 'cause i know how -- how you feel about the organization . carly : hey . sonny : [ sighs ] carly : i married you knowing exactly who you were and what you did , okay ? and what i hate mostly are the secrets and the lies . you know , the specifics of your business , i looked away from mainly for protection . but i 'm here with you . but things have to be different this time . sonny : how so ? carly : no more keeping me in the dark . no , and no more secrets , sonny . sonny : well , i can -- carly : i have to know the threats against our family . i have to . sonny : i can only tell you what i can tell you . i do n't want to make you an accessory . carly : okay . i know how this business works , okay ? i 'm gon na be right by your side until we can figure a way out . sonny : and what if we ca n't ? what if this is the way it is , this is the reality ? carly : then that 's the harsh truth of our life , and we have to accept it . god help us . [ scene_break ] franco : there 's no point in beating yourself up or second - guessing things that you ca n't change . and who 's to say that if you did n't do what you did that -- that it would n't have been even worse for jason ? elizabeth : i do n't understand what you 're saying . franco : what if he came back after the accident , he picked up right where he left off with sam and right -- right where he left off with his old life with sonny , then maybe it would 've been him that wound up shot on the docks that night instead of duke . elizabeth : unless he survived , and then they 'd both be alive . franco : right , which again , this illustrates my point perfectly , because it 's all hypotheticals , and you 're just gon na make yourself crazy . there 's only one reality , all right ? one past , one present , and whatever happens in the future is up to us . you taught me that . your little boy , jakey , needs you in the present , okay , 'cause he 's a kid . that 's where they live , and he 's scared . he 's looking up junk on the internet right now . elizabeth : [ voice breaking ] oh , god . if he loses his dad right now , after everything that 's happened , i do n't know how i can handle it . franco : you 're a strong person , and you can handle it . and if for some reason you ca n't handle it , then i 'll be strong enough for all of us . [ scene_break ] bobbie : carly . carly : hey . is there any news ? bobbie : no , not yet . michael asked me to wait . he left with nelle . carly : oh . so everyone 's back . bobbie : yeah . honey , look , i know this is n't the best time ... carly : [ sighs ] bobbie : ... but we really do need to talk about nelle . carly : you 're right , this is n't the best time . mom , jason could die . that 's the only thing i can think about right now . bobbie : honey , i know . i know , but that 's what has me worried . see , last time this family was in crisis , nelle used that as an opportunity to take advantage , and i 'm just worried that if felicia 's intel on her is true , nelle 's gon na strike at michael when we 're not looking . carly : okay , `` if `` being the operative word . this intel is pretty circumstantial to me , mom . bobbie : but you know what ? it 's raised some red flags for me , and more of them just raised after nelle 's visit to morocco . [ scene_break ] jordan : w - w - we have to stop . we need to stop . curtis : huh ? jordan : we have to stop . curtis : why ? you know , the more i think about our little arrangement , the less it makes sense to me . jordan : what do we -- wait , what do you -- what do you expect us to do here , huh ? run around behind stella 's back like a couple of teenagers ? curtis : come on . no , no , no . to hell with all that hiding and -- and -- and damn all the secrets . aunt stella is getting better every day . jordan : as long as we do n't add to her stress levels . curtis : i - i 'm not trying to add to her stress levels , baby , but stress is a part of everyday life . now , aunt stella was sick , um , already before , so you can just get that out of your pretty head . jordan : curtis , you do n't ... you have no idea what it 's like to be the source of so much pain . curtis : [ scoffs ] oh , no ? well ... you 're no saint , i 'm no saint . we 've both made our mistakes . we 're just two people trying to do better . and the fact that we 've stayed connected after everything -- that means something to me . jordan : yeah , but it is enough ? curtis : it is for me . unless you 're trying to use aunt stella to keep us from getting together . jordan : no . no , i 'm not . i 'm not . i just ... i 'm -- i 'm sorry that all this back and forth has just been so exhausting . i do n't know , maybe -- maybe all of these obstacles might be trying to tell us something . curtis : hmm . like an omen ? huh . none of that matters . jordan : and why not ? curtis : because i am dangerously close , i mean , mm ... to falling in love with you , jordan ashford . jordan : y - you 're falling in love with me ? curtis : dangerously close . look , you ai n't got to say nothing . i just ... thought you should know . i ai n't going nowhere , ash .

[ scene_break ] ava : valentin , it 's ava jerome . you said you could arrange for a miracle ? well , perhaps we should talk after all . [ scene_break ] carly : did they or did they not find who really took the necklace ? bobbie : there seems to be some ambiguity around that , but then there 's always ambiguity around nelle . i mean , why do things always seem to keep happening whenever she 's around ? carly : i do n't know . i do n't know . maybe nelle has the gift of being at the wrong place at the wrong time . maybe nelle is just unlucky . maybe she 's accident - prone , but , mom , that does n't make her a thief or a murderer . bobbie : honey , i know this is a difficult time for you . carly : [ sighs ] bobbie : but this time , please just listen to me when it comes to nelle . i really think it 's a big mistake to let your guard down , especially if there 's a chance michael is getting into bed with a black widow .

'cause some of it 's relevant , and some of it 's completely irrelevant . jake : hey ! this is the picture of your real imaginary friend . you were looking at it again ? franco : yeah . sometimes when things are confusing , i like ... i like to look at a picture , you know ? an image of something that 's actually confusing me , or sometimes just an image that i like to look at . 'cause it grounds me . puts me back in reality . remember how you and i talked about the things that we could do to help us feel centered , right ? jake : yeah , i get it . it 's a good idea . hey , can you help me with something ? franco : absolutely . what do you need help with ? jake : um , grandma monica dropped off a box of old pictures a few weeks ago . she asked me to scan them to the cloud for her . i 'll bet if i finish doing that tonight , it might help grandma monica . keep her centered . me , too , i guess . franco : that 's , uh ... an almost great idea . i think if -- if you count me in , then it would be , you know , almost perfect . jake : well , then , you 're in ! franco : okay . [ scene_break ] michael : how is jason holding up ? is he , uh ... any update ? sonny : not that i can see . but they 're going to take him , do more tests . michael : how are you holding up ? sonny : as well as i can be . i mean ... if it was n't for me , he would n't have been in that warehouse . so ... that 's basically the way i feel . michael : but , dad , it does n't do you or jason any good to blame yourself . it does n't -- jason definitely would n't blame you . all right ? he 'd -- he 'd want you , he 'd want ... all of us to stay positive , be strong . we -- we both know how -- how strong jason is . we all know how much of a fighter he is . he 's made it out of much worse situations than this . sonny : i hope to god you 're right . but this one just feels ... different . michael : look , i - i 'll tell you what . why -- why do n't you ... why do n't you get some rest ? all right ? go for a walk , and i 'll stay here and , uh , and i 'll call you if there are any updates . sonny : i 'm glad you came home . michael : yeah , me , too . sonny : means a lot . i love you . michael : i love you , too . [ scene_break ] ava : i ca n't keep track of what you want anymore . now you want me to stay ? griffin : yes . i do n't want to leave things like this between us -- awkward and uncomfortable . ava : too bad . they are . now , i - i take some of the blame myself . i should have known from the moment that you prayed by my bedside you have a savior complex . you have to do whatever you can to make sure that everything 's okay . like now , asking me to stay . why ? to dissect what happened ? how i felt ? how you encouraged my feelings ... accidentally ? [ chuckles ] the simple truth is you ca n't stand the thought of somebody being upset with you . i am ! [ voice breaking ] i put myself on the line here . and you rejected me , and ... that hurts me ! i am ! i 'm upset ! and maybe i misread the signals , okay . i - i took things a bit far , okay . i own that . but despite your rationalizations , there must have been something in your behavior for me to misread , so do n't put it all on me ! griffin : you 're right ! you 're right . i 'm as much to blame for this as you are . [ scene_break ] carly : [ sighs ] i know we ca n't go back in time and find ... the definitive moment that could have changed everything . but i wish we could . you know , the , um ... the series of events , the ... chain reaction that led up to morgan getting in julian 's car that night . i mean , if one -- one thing were different , morgan would still be here . now i 'm thinking the same thing about jason . you know , like , what if ? what if -- what if he stayed jake doe ? and he never remembered his old life ? i mean , he would be safer , right ? he would never feel compelled to save sonny . [ sighs ] maybe this is all on me . i mean , i pushed and i pushed for sonny to get out of the business , to protect his family . and now it 's jason and his family who are paying the price . [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] curtis : what about the air vents ? jordan : well , roxy is a cold - blooded animal , so i really doubt that she 's going to want cold air blowing on her . no , i think that she probably has found a safe , dark place to nest . curtis : so , when did you become the lizard whisperer ? jordan : i 'm not . i just ... you remember when tj was really little , and he was so cute ? he had that pet guinea pig ? curtis : guinea pig , yeah . jordan : yeah , the thing got loose . was bamboo ? curtis : i mean , that 's hardly the same as a bearded ... lizard , dragon . jordan : no , okay , but they 're both pets who are not as domesticated as , say , a dog or cat , right ? the minute they get a shot of freedom , then out they go . [ snaps fingers ] i must have spent ... an entire sunday afternoon searching our apartment for that damn guinea pig . and you know what ? i 'll tell you what , it was well worth it to see the look and the smile on tj 's face when i found his pet . curtis : well , you know , the things we do for those we love . jordan : um ... let 's see ... ooh . well , well , well . look what we have here . [ scene_break ] griffin : ava , i am sorry i sent you mixed messages . the fact is i enjoy your company thoroughly . even before your accident , i felt our connection . maybe in a different world , there would be more to explore between us , but i - i ca n't let myself go there . not in my ... head , and not in my heart . and i 'm not trying to dismiss your feelings . i have feelings , too . desire does n't just go away when you take sacred vows , but i did take them . i should n't have been reckless with your heart while i danced on the edge of that line . i ... i 'm sorry . ava : that 's it ? that 's your apology ? you used me to play with fire , and you did n't think that anybody was going to get burned ? well , take it from me ... fire does n't work that way . griffin : the vow of celibacy is sacred . i should never cross that line . ava : [ scoffs ] well , where was that vow when you hopped into the sack with claudette ? [ scene_break ] jake : this is my dad when he was a teenager . he looks so different . franco : well , i mean , that 's because of the accident . you -- you know that . but he pulled through 'cause he 's a tough guy and he survives . that 's what he does , and that 's what he 's going to do this time . jake : everyone keeps saying that . but no one knows for sure . franco : i 'm pretty sure that your dad is going to stick around , if for no other reason than to keep us all on our toes , right ?

[ scene_break ] bobbie : how are you ? michael : uh ... i do n't know . it 's just so unreal , you know ? i keep trying to tell myself that jason 's going to be okay , but my parents are ... are pretty wrecked . i mean , i have n't seen my mom this devastated since ... since morgan ... bobbie : so you 've seen your mom since you got back ? michael : yeah , earlier today . bobbie : did she mention anything important ? michael : i mean , other than jason being shot , no . why ? what 's going on ? bobbie : [ clears throat ] michael : nelle ? hey ! nelle : hi .

[ scene_break ] griffin : what happened with claudette , that affair , that was a mistake . i 've never been so ashamed of anything in my entire life , but that helped me refocus , reconnect to the life that 's better for me and everyone else . ava : will you stop lying ? if you ca n't be honest with me , at least be honest with yourself . if claudette had left nathan west to be with you , would you have walked away from her , or would you have followed your heart and walked away from the priesthood ? you know , i have nothing but respect for priests . they answer a calling that i can not possibly understand . but it 's not for every man , and i 'm betting it 's not for you . oh , do n't look so shocked . you have n't been a real priest in a long time , griffin . you had one foot out the door because of a woman -- a passionate blonde with a self - destructive streak . guess you have a type , huh ? but it does make me wonder -- why claudette and not me ? why was she able to tempt you away from your vows and i ca n't ? oh , i know . it 's because of my face . [ scene_break ] michael : so , uh , when 'd you get in ? nelle : uh , just a little while ago . i came straight here to see how you were doing . how is -- how 's jason ? michael : um ... uh , there 's still no updates . he 's still in a coma .

[ scene_break ] nina : are you accusing my husband of lying to me ? curtis : i 'm simply saying maybe you do n't know the whole story . look , that 's typical of my line of work , okay ? most of my pi cases , the married couples keep secrets . some are just more egregious than others . nina : right . so , what do you think valentin would be keeping from me ? curtis : hell if i know . have you asked him about what the beef is between him and anna from back in the day ? nina : yeah . he said that , um , he misread her interest , and she rejected his advances . curtis : [ breathes deeply ] look , uh , i do n't know anna . i do n't know your husband . but if that 's the whole story ... [ sighs ] ... seems like he 'd be the one with the grudge and not the other way around . just saying . [ scene_break ] julian : what the hell kind of complication do you mean ? you assured me you had the votes . gray : convincing the board to sell was much easier when we had no other options . but laura spencer and the quartermaine contingency have been holding ... julian : okay , get to the point , gray . gray : they got creative . they made a powerful move . julian : what are you talking about ? gray : [ sighs ] the quartermaines pooled their resources and are matching your developer 's offer . julian : you got to be kidding me . i mean , they 're gon na put all their money on the line to save gh for what -- a few more years ? gray : their position is that gh . is too vital to the community . they 've already swung a member or two back to their side . julian : well , then i have to up my offer . gray : but it may be beyond the numbers now . they 've made it a community issue . julian : what are you saying , gray ? gray : the vote is liable to be tight . i 'll do my best to persuade the others and keep any more from changing their votes , but if i were you , i 'd prepare my client for the vote not going their way . julian : that 's not acceptable . [ scene_break ] jason : hey , sam , give me a call back when you get this message . i might have to work tonight . [ chuckles ] it 's crazy , but , uh ... well , i think i might have a theory about what 's going on . [ scene_break ] olivia jerome : julian , duke , and i lived very dangerous lives . we all faked our deaths and worked to survive during the mob wars . and i believed in my heart that duke had survived , like i had . i heard he came back to port charles . and i thought my faith had been rewarded . [ voice breaking ] then julian killed him . and all the light and love and hope that i had for my life was gone . do you have any idea what that feels like ? sam : i hate what julian did to duke and a lot of other people . trust me , yes , i do . i do understand . olivia : you could never understand ! you and your perfect life , with your husband and your other son . and now you 've got a baby on the way . it 's just not fair ! why should you have everything and i have nothing ? [ scene_break ] finn : easy . easy . here you go . here you go . [ clatter ] finn : i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry , rox . i should n't ... i should n't be shaking like this . it 's pretty obvious i 've built up a tolerance . this dose ... does n't have the same effect . [ breathing heavily ] relax . relax , rox . it 's just this once . [ scene_break ] hayden : you think finn is addicted ? griffin : i mean , zen - zen is highly addictive , and finn 's been using it for , what , years ... while he 's trying to control the symptoms and search for a cure ? i mean , you think he could just quit with no problems , just like that ? hayden : i guess it never crossed my mind . when did you realize ? griffin : when i began witnessing signs of withdrawal . look , i 've been worried about him and his patients , so i kept an eye on both . i even tried questioning him . [ sighs ] hey , where you going ? hayden : i do n't know . but i 'll start by seeing if he made it back . [ scene_break ] valentin : [ smooches ] sorry i 'm late . that looks good . what is that ? hey , can i have one of these , please ? nina : i was beginning to think i was being stood up . valentin : oh , never , ever . i 'm gon na make up for every minute i missed on valentine 's day . in fact , i 'm gon na surprise you with something wonderful every day until i atone to your satisfaction . nina : you do n't need to do that . in fact ... you need to do that . valentin : [ chuckles ] nina : i 'm gon na hold you to it . valentin : all right . nina : where were you ? valentin : i just had a quick stop i had to make . somebody i had to visit . nina : mm . valentin : where 's the wine list ? nina : who ? valentin : [ breathes deeply ] anna .

[ scene_break ] julian : i promised my client that this sale would go through . you understand me ? gray : mr. jerome , i assure you i wo n't leave you in a lurch . there is an entire neighborhood by the waterfront poised to be gentrified . i know of a property there ... julian : no . no , no , no . no . ... that would be perfect . it has to be gh . you understand ? gray : okay . like i said , i 'll concentrate on our board members , but i ca n't make any promises . julian : well , failure 's not an option . gray : it 's just business . it 's not a matter of life and death . julian : [ chuckles ] well , you see , where i come from , that 's exactly what it is . and you 'd do well to remember that . [ scene_break ] olivia jerome : duke was my only reason to live . without him , i have nothing ... and nothing to lose . the only thing that 's keeping me going is that julian must die by my hand , but not before i make him suffer . he has to lose everything that means anything to him . so unless you want your baby to become collateral damage in this mess , get in the car -- now ! sam : okay . okay . okay . [ breathes sharply , groans ] oh . olivia : what 's the matter ? [ screams ] oh ! sam : oh ! [ scene_break ] nina : well , okay , this is , um ... the second time you 've left me waiting because of anna . should i be jealous ? valentin : nina , she collapsed in front of me . i just wanted an update how she was doing . the hospital would n't give out anything over the phone , so i stopped by to see for myself . nina : okay . how is she ? valentin : she 's fine . nina : oh , good . valentin : as far as i could tell . nina : okay . so , are you satisfied ? you do n't need to check up on her later on today or see how she 's doing tomorrow ? valentin : no . nina , i 'm surprised . i would think that you would appreciate my act of kindness . you 're one of the few people who sees any good in me at all . nina : why does she deserve your kindness , i want to know , if she was horrible to you ? and she 's not our friend . she broke into our home . she belongs behind bars . valentin : no , i do n't want her arrested . nina : why not ? valentin : because i do n't . because i 'm moving on . because what 's past is past . i 'm showing her mercy , and i 'm hoping she shows me some , too . i hope she backs off and lets go of this ridiculous obsession with me . nina : but , see , the problem is , is your past and your present have caught up with each other . you 're bound to run into each other . valentin : well , then we 're just gon na have to manage , because i 'm not going anywhere . listen ... i am gon na go get myself something to drink . why do n't you let me buy us something very expensive that they keep in reserve ? nina : [ scoffs ] damn straight you 're not going anywhere , valentin . hello , commissioner ashford . this is nina cassadine . um , i 'd like to report a break - in . and you 'd be surprised to know who it was . anna devane . [ scene_break ] anna : those clothes that i was wearing yesterday -- they have to be here somewhere . robin : no , mom . i signed for them , and i took them home . anna : that 's so ridiculous , robin ! robin : yes , i could n't agree more . anna : mm . griffin : guys , hey . what 's going on ? robin : my mother , the most stubborn person in america -- sorry -- the planet , is trying to check herself out of the hospital . griffin : anna , that 's highly inadvisable . dr. finn wants you to stay overnight for observation . and your first round of phlebotomy is in the morning . anna : i know , i know that 's how we 're treating my blood cancer . i get that . but i can come back first thing in the morning . i do not want to stay cooped up in here . i really do n't . griffin : okay , i hope you 're not trying to go right back to work , anna . anna : why would n't i ? griffin : you 're not my patient , all right ? spend the night , and dr. finn will explain everything to you in the morning . anna : no , that 's okay , griffin . you just ... tell me whatever . i - i 'm fine . i trust you . griffin : [ sighs ] the bottom line is , with pv , you may experience waves of dizziness and/or fatigue . and because of your blood clot , you 're also on blood thinners . anna : okay . robin : that could pose a risk for bleeding out . it -- it makes fieldwork really dangerous , mom . griffin : look , anna , you have to understand . any injury that draws blood ... it could be problematic . anna : oh . so that 's it ? what you 're both gently trying to tell me is that everything i have done for my entire career is now off the table ? that is it ? i 'm finished ? robin : mom [ sighs ] remember when dad brought you back to the agency , and he thought you might be interested in that instructor position ? you know , maybe given your new normal , you would reconsider that now . anna : no , no . you convinced me that my new normal was n't the end of my life and that i could live with a chronic condition and not be held back . griffin : anna , we 're talking about making minor adjustments to your daily routine . anna : no , it 's not minor ! to yank me out of the career that i have spent my whole life building . what kind of a life does that leave me ? robin : the kind of life where you 're around for the people that love you . i 'm not ready to lose my mom . emma is not ready to lose her grandmother . so if you ca n't take care of yourself for you , can you at least do it for us ? please . [ scene_break ] jason : thanks for waiting up to see me . curtis : yeah , man . hey . you , uh , find something ? jason : yeah , but you 're gon na need to stay with me here , okay ? curtis : yeah . jason : now , we both know that julian is being controlled by someone , someone that has a very strong hold on him , and that this person tried to kill julian , but accidentally killed morgan . and we both heard him refer to this person as his sister . curtis : right . ava is his only living sister , so i did some cross - checking . i checked the medical records , the credit reports , the census . besides ava , the man only had one sister , and she dead . jason : yeah , unless she 's not .

[ scene_break ] robin : strange that you would bring up olivia jerome 'cause sonny asked about her earlier . [ scoffs ] i have n't thought about her in ages . but why are you asking about her ? jason : i 'm just following up on some leads . robin : leads about a dead woman ? [ scoffs ] this must have something to do with ava . jason : yeah , well , she 's been arrested for morgan 's death . robin : mm - hmm . jason : and sonny does n't trust the cops to investigate , and , frankly , neither do i . robin : well , i see your respect for law enforcement has stayed consistent . jason : yeah , i guess so . anyway , i 'm looking into the jerome family to see if there 's anybody that we did n't know about . robin : well , that 's reaching really far back . you know , i was just a little kid at the time , but some things i do remember very clearly . olivia jerome was crazy ... and dangerous . and she truly hated my mother . [ scene_break ] anna : is that what you did the other night ? did you catch me ? i do n't know because details are a little hazy . valentin : well , i 'm ashamed to admit that you were on the floor before i could do anything , but i 'm ready now , so feel free to pass out . anna : no , i 'm feeling much better , thank you . valentin : you do n't look well . you look pale . what do i know ? anna : you seem to know quite a lot . certainly more than i do . valentin : what , about your health ? anna : no . about our time at the wsb training academy . valentin : oh . well , i 've already told you everything there is to know about our past , so ... anna : i was told ... ... that i ... ... i ordered the wsb to ... ... assassinate you . i do n't have any recollection of ever , ever giving an order like that . valentin : you have very selective amnesia . anna : no ! that 's the truth ! i want answers , and i 'm not gon na rest until i get them , so why do n't you just save us a world of trouble and just please tell me what i do n't remember ? [ scene_break ] hayden : here 's what i know . finn never checked into his hotel , nor did he make his meeting . but the weird thing is , is that the plane did n't seem to land in new york at all . i - i called all the airports . so , what happened to that plane ? i tried contacting the hangar , but they wo n't give me the manifest without tracy 's approval , and i do n't know where she is . she must be in a meeting . i ca n't get in touch with her . and i do n't know what to do . i mean , if finn went somewhere else , why would n't he have told anyone about it ? griffin : [ sighs ] i 'm sure this is some kind of misunderstanding . hayden : what was that ? griffin : what was what ? hayden : that look . what ? griffin : hayden , come on . hayden : no , what do you think is going on ? griffin : it would be irresponsible for me as a doctor to speculate . hayden : well , you 're not his doctor . you 're our colleague and , hopefully , a friend . please . i really care about finn , and he 's missing . and if you know something , if you think anything ... look , i - i -- ... you have to tell me . griffin : i do n't know anything for sure . okay ? a few weeks ago , he asked me for a prescription of painkillers . hayden : for his hockey injury . yeah , i know . griffin : yeah , and then a few days later , he asked me to extend the prescription . and when i refused , he was n't very happy . and recently , he 's been presenting symptoms of withdrawal . hayden : withdrawal ? but he has n't taken zekenestrol since december . griffin : so he says . hayden : wait . you think he 's still sick ? griffin : hayden , i do n't think you would be standing here right now if the cure did n't work . i do n't get it . why would finn still be taking zen - zen ? that drug is highly addictive . oh , my god . [ scene_break ] finn : [ inhales deeply ] [ exhales sharply ] ohh .

[ scene_break ] olivia jerome : let 's go . get in the car . no innocent life has to die in all of this . sam : tell that to morgan corinthos . he was just a young man trying to make his way through his own personal struggles , and his life was cut short before he could live it . it was you , was n't it ? you hired buzz to plant the bomb in julian 's car . olivia : it was supposed to be julian . sam : i 'm sure that annoyed you that your plan to kill your brother went wrong , huh ? olivia : i 'm way past annoyed ! sam : but you 're nowhere near remorseful . sonny 's kid was what -- collateral damage ? how do i know you 're not gon na hurt me and my baby ? olivia : 'cause i would never hurt an unborn child again .

[ scene_break ] anna : just think about it . why would i have broken into your house if i was n't looking for answers ? what would be the motivation for that ? valentin : maybe you were snooping . maybe you were looking for something to take me down once and for all . i do n't know . maybe you were planting evidence . anna : oh , for god 's sake ! ca n't you just tell me the whole story ? valentin : you 're asking questions you do n't want the answers to . anna : okay . whatever i did must have been so traumatic and emotionally scarring that i have blocked it out . but here 's your chance to dig it up and throw it in my face and destroy me , because is n't that what you wanted to do all along ? valentin : if you really do n't remember ... ... then you 're better off .

[ scene_break ] nina : are you accusing my husband of lying to me ? curtis : i 'm simply saying maybe you do n't know the whole story . look , that 's typical of my line of work , okay ? most of my pi cases , the married couples keep secrets . some are just more egregious than others . nina : right . so , what do you think valentin would be keeping from me ? curtis : hell if i know . have you asked him about what the beef is between him and anna from back in the day ? nina : yeah . he said that , um , he misread her interest , and she rejected his advances . curtis : [ breathes deeply ] look , uh , i do n't know anna . i do n't know your husband . but if that 's the whole story ...

[ scene_break ] jason : hey , sam , give me a call back when you get this message . i might have to work tonight . [ chuckles ] it 's crazy , but , uh ... well , i think i might have a theory about what 's going on . [ scene_break ] olivia jerome : julian , duke , and i lived very dangerous lives . we all faked our deaths and worked to survive during the mob wars . and i believed in my heart that duke had survived , like i had . i heard he came back to port charles . and i thought my faith had been rewarded . [ voice breaking ] then julian killed him . and all the light and love and hope that i had for my life was gone . do you have any idea what that feels like ? sam : i hate what julian did to duke and a lot of other people . trust me , yes , i do . i do understand . olivia : you could never understand ! you and your perfect life , with your husband and your other son . and now you 've got a baby on the way . it 's just not fair ! why should you have everything and i have nothing ?

[ scene_break ] olivia jerome : duke was my only reason to live . without him , i have nothing ... and nothing to lose . the only thing that 's keeping me going is that julian must die by my hand , but not before i make him suffer . he has to lose everything that means anything to him . so unless you want your baby to become collateral damage in this mess , get in the car -- now ! sam : okay . okay . okay .

[ chuckles ] carly : so , how does it work , the selling part ? wendy : um , i had a friend who had a friend who was connected , and once i was checked out , it was just a matter of waiting till i was a match with someone in need , and ... then it happened , and ... that 's about it . when i saw the story on crimson 's website about your daughter , the dates matched up , and i realized i could be the person you 're looking for . carly : did you bring your medical records ? wendy : [ chuckles ] sorry . i 'm not all that great with filing . carly : that 's okay . lots of people are n't .

maxie : lucky walked in before i could put it back . and then we started talking . and then nikolas showed up here and i did n't think you wanted him finding out that aiden was n't his son the way i did . elizabeth : i guess in a really bizarre way , i 'm glad you showed up . maxie : you 're welcome , i think . when are you going to fill nikolas and lucky in on this little secret ? [ scene_break ] tracy : lucky , i 'm sure this feels like i 'm overstepping , but i know your father . and i honestly believe that you 're the only one that could help him . he really needs you . lucky : everybody needs me right now . elizabeth needs me , my dad needs me . i 'm just trying to get through the day , you know ? [ sighs ] do n't you get it ? my dad does n't want to be helped . there 's nothing i can do if he 's determined to self destruct . tracy : you and your dad are a lot more alike than you think . you 're both using denial as a coping mechanism . lucky : what are you talking about ? i 'm not denying anything . dad is . he 's the one who ca n't admit he 's an alcoholic . tracy : and whether you like it or not , you and your father are in this together . and if you do n't face up to that fact , there are going to be serious repercussions for all of us .

[ scene_break ] jason : michael , i 'm just warning you . going to work for johnny would be a mistake . you come into this business , you are going to lose people that you love . that 's what this business does . it takes your heart and it takes your soul . why would you want that for yourself ? [ scene_break ] lucky : tracy , i appreciate who you are to my dad . you know , you 've given him chance after chance when most women would have kicked him to the curb a long time ago . tracy : is that a polite way of saying i 've been enabling him ? lucky : my dad was a drunk for years before he got involved with you . and if you have been enabling him , it 's just because you saw the rest of us doing it . i mean , i 'm the worst offender . i was going through the 12 steps myself and i never said a word to him . and now my son 's dead . tracy : ok . so if there was ever a time for you to reach out for him , it 's now . ethan has tried , lulu has tried , i have tried . and none of it has made an ounce of difference . you are the only one that can get through to him . and the worst part of it is , you know it . [ scene_break ] luke : lucky has every right to be angry as hell with me or to have any other feelings that he chooses . and you , too . i mean , i killed his son , your nephew . you want to get a few shots in while you 're here ... steve : i 'm not as concerned about punishing you as i am with helping my sister get through her grief . luke : do you know that she came here to see me ? and actually apologized for not watching jake better that night ? she told me she was sorry for having burdened me for having run him down . unbelievable . steve : there 's nothing more important to my sister than her kids . and however misguided , the thought of failing one of them is going to haunt her for the rest of her life . luke : you need to get lucky and elizabeth in the same room and let him convince her to blame me , because i am the one to blame . steve : lucky has barely seen my sister since the night of the accident . he 's not the only one who lost a child . my sister is doing everything in her power to hold it together for cam and aiden . but underneath , the grief and guilt run deep . she needs to hear lucky tell her that he does n't blame her . but evidently , that ca n't happen as long as he has to sit here and watch you spiral out . so what i need from you , whether you feel like it or not , is to pull yourself together and put someone else ahead of your pain . luke : do you have any idea how i do that , doctor ? because i 'm fresh out of ideas . [ scene_break ] maxie : i know grief can make people do crazy things , so if you by chance forged that dna test and were hoping to use it to get lucky back but you 're now having second thoughts , i say go with your gut and just forget i ever saw it . elizabeth : the results are real . aiden is lucky 's son . maxie : but how ? ok , i 'm clear on how it happened . but , i mean , how are you just finding out about this now ? i thought you got a dna test before aiden was born . elizabeth : i did , and it came back that nikolas was the father . maxie : how is that possible ? elizabeth : well , i 'm pretty sure helena had everything to do with it , because she has this sick need to have control over nikolas . maxie : i thought my family had issues . elizabeth : the older aiden gets , the more he looks like lucky . just like jake looked exactly like jason . so i had another test done , and i got the results back the night of the accident . i was so preoccupied with that letter , i did n't hear my little boy walking out the front door . maxie : that was not your fault . elizabeth : if i was watching him , he 'd be upstairs safe in his room right now . anyway , i did n't tell lucky or nikolas . maybe i was just hoping they would figure it out so i would n't have to make the choice to tell them . maxie : there 's not a choice . lucky and nikolas deserve to know the truth . [ scene_break ] michael : look , i know you regret giving up your place as jake 's father . but , jason , be honest with me . do you regret joining the business ? jason : i 'd probably be dead if i had n't met your dad . but ... sonny represented everything the quartermaines did n't . there 's no expectations . there was no pressure for me to be somebody i was n't . working for your dad , it gave me purpose . and at the time , that 's all i cared about . but if i had known what was coming ... the people that i hurt , the loss that i feel , the hell i put you through before jake was ever born , i would n't have taken the job . i just , i want better for you , michael . and i 'm telling you , if you come into this business , one way or another , you are going to pay . [ scene_break ] lucky : look , i know i should be trying to get my dad into treatment , work the steps with him , but there 's nothing i can do if he wo n't admit he has a problem . i ca n't drag him in there kicking and screaming . it does n't work like that . tracy : lucky ... your father does n't think he deserves your love . if you turn your back on him , you play right into that . is that what you want ? lucky : it 's not that i do n't love him , ok ? i just , i ca n't look at him anymore without seeing that night flash through my mind . tracy : your father almost burned down the haunted star with himself in it . he needs help ! lucky : i 'm sorry , tracy , i really am , but there 's nothing i can do . there 's nothing anyone can do . it 's up to him . tracy : [ sighs ] [ door closes ] [ scene_break ] elizabeth : telling the truth about aiden is n't going to lessen lucky 's pain . maxie : but it might help him cope with the grief . make it a little easier for him to get out of bed every morning . elizabeth : so am i supposed to be ok with breaking nikolas ' heart in hopes that it will heal lucky 's ? maxie : no matter how you handle this , somebody is going to end up getting hurt . but i think it 'll be worse for nikolas if you wait . and what about aiden ? the truth needs to come out while he 's too young to realize what 's going on . elizabeth : he may be young but he loves nikolas . you should see how he lights up when they 're together . maxie : then it 's unfair to continue to let aiden bond with nikolas when lucky is really his father . and do n't you want nikolas and lucky finding out about this from you and not somebody else ? elizabeth : so what am i supposed to say ? that this is the reason why jake is never coming home ? maxie : elizabeth , jake 's death was an accident . elizabeth : but i was n't watching him . maxie : beating yourself up over this is not going to help . but neither is carrying around that secret . lucky and nikolas deserve to know the truth . and either you tell them , or i will . elizabeth : it should come from me . i 'll do it .

[ scene_break ] elizabeth : lucky 's always been the one person i could count on . you know , the one person who would pick me back up and put me together when i fell apart . i just wish i could have been that strong for him . but instead i chose to be with jason , and i ended up hurting him the most . 'cause he trusted me to keep jake safe . sam : yeah , but jason does n't blame you for what happened . so i do n't think you should blame yourself . elizabeth , it was an accident . if there 's anything you need , you let me know , ok ? elizabeth : thank you . sam : you 're welcome . elizabeth : sam ? sam : yeah . elizabeth : um ... this was -- this is jake 's favorite toy . and i want jason to have it . sam : wow . um , i will give this to him . this is going to mean so much more than you will ever know . thank you . elizabeth : yeah . [ door closes ] [ scene_break ] jason : you know what , when i woke up from the accident , my life was a blank slate . the quartermaines would try to help me by telling me stories or bringing me things i used to like . i know that they meant well , but it felt like they were pushing me to be somebody else . so i pushed back , because i wanted to be the one in control of my life . michael : and what 's wrong with that ? jason : there 's nothing wrong with that , michael . but i went about it the wrong way . i ended up hurting people who loved me . you know , when i first told alan i was going to work for sonny , he blew up . he tried to forbid it . michael : which made you only want it more , right ? jason : i realize now that alan was just looking out for his son . but i thought i knew better . i turned my back on the quartermaines . i started my new life and made sure they were n't any part of it at all . alan would reach out to me , i 'd shut him down . i said some terrible things to him . and then alan died . before i could make it right between us , and i have to live with that every day . but i like to think i learned from it . so no matter what you choose , whether i think you 're right or you 're wrong , i 'm not going to turn my back on you . all i can do is love you , and i always will . michael : look , i 'm going to let you know that i heard every single thing that you said . but i have to make this choice on my own .

[ sighs ] maybe it 's not gon na be the same as it used to be . maybe it -- it might be awkward for a while . but i 'm so damn grateful to have my dad to talk to again . and the thing is ... i told you about haley , that she 's here illegally . she 's worried sick that it 'll come out , and like i said before , no one can know . dad , you have to promise me that you 're not going to say anything to anyone . jack : i 'm sorry , son . i 'm not sure i can do that . leo , what are you two talking about ? diana : my , my , matthew , a little paranoid ? leo : it 's leo . and maybe i should be paranoid , since the two of you clammed up the minute i walked in . diana : we were both taken aback by your entrance . obviously , you 're fired up about something . leo : yes , mother , i am . i 'm finally bringing two unrepentant criminals to justice .

[ knocks on wall ] hey . chad : i heard what jordan did . you okay ? kate : ah , aside from everyone thinking i tried to kill myself , yeah , i 'm fine . chad : how 'd you find out what jordan was up to ? kate : it was really crazy , you know ? i ran into her in the square . she was just nervous , you know , acting really nervous and edgy . and then she dropped this bag of supplies she was carrying , and out dropped a tube of diaper rash ointment , and i thought , `` jeez , i do n't think jordan needs that . `` chad : but charlotte would . kate : yeah . so anyway , i tried to call the police , and what does she do but jam a syringe into my neck . and i guess she dragged me off to my -- to my room , and she staged it to look like an overdose , you know ? and if rafe had n't found me , i probably would have died . chad : you 're okay , though ? kate : yeah , you know . aside from the lousy food and the bad decor , i 'm doing just great . i heard that charlotte 's doing good , too , right ? chad : she is . and i promised abby i 'd have charlotte in her arms by the end of the day , and luckily , i was -- i was able to do that . kate : i knew that you would do that for her . i knew that you never stopped loving abby . chad : and she never stopped loving me . she actually forgave me . kate : that 's great . that 's really wonderful . chad : i think it 's time that i forgive you too , kate . julie : oh , abigail , i 'm overjoyed ! i 'm overjoyed that you 're back with chad . oh , darling , you never gave up ! abigail : no , you never gave up .

[ monitor beeping steadily ] i never met him . i never got to know him except through all of you . and there are a couple things that are really clear . he was a great person , and he would 've sacrificed anything to save his family . so why ? i did it for you , katie . i did it for will . [ voice breaking ] and i did it for everyone who loves you like i do . so ... i also did it for my father . because i want him to be able to see a part of himself in me . and i want him to be proud of me . ancestry provided me the opportunity sally : why are we still talking about flo ? 'cause if i remember correctly , you and i are engaged . wyatt : this is very true . but i - i do need to put a ring on this finger so that the whole world knows about it . i just do n't want you doubting my commitment . i do n't want you wondering if i 'm thinking about flo . sally : you 're not ? ever ? i mean , she was your first love . wyatt : what -- what about your first love ? sally : he did n't feel the same way about me as i did about him . that was not true for you and flo . she loved you , and you loved her back . wyatt : okay , we were kids . sally : and now you 're not . okay ? it did n't stop you from picking right back up where you left off the second she turned up in l.a . wyatt : yeah , but a lot has happened since then . i now know of the side to flo that she kept hidden , or at least a side she did n't even know she had until she got pulled into buckingham 's scheme . sally : yeah , okay , well , this much i know . despite whatever is going on between you two at the moment , she still wants you . wyatt : okay , look , ther -- there is nothing that i can think of that flo can do to get me to see her differently . donna : sis ... do n't misunderstand . i 'm not forgiving flo for what she did to hope . but ... i think we need to at least ... thank her for ... giving katie her kidney . i mean , we could have lost a sister . will could have lost a mother . i - i ca n't just ignore that . brooke : thank you . but it does n't erase what you did . hope : i agree with my mother . of course we 're grateful that aunt katie is all right , but it does n't absolve flo . brooke : you think that you 're just wiping the slate clean . there is no forgetting what you did to my daughter and to beth . you kept a mother and daughter apart for months . you saw her grieve over the loss of her daughter , and you knew that beth was alive , and you did n't say a word , not one word . so you giving a kidney does n't really matter . i mean , yes , of course , we 're glad that katie is alive and doing well , but it does n't change the way we feel , does n't change the way i feel , does n't change the way hope feels about what you did . and it definitely does n't mean that you 're back in the logan family , because you 're not a logan , and you never will be . katie : what you did to our family ... so much hurt ... so many lives ... i wo n't ask anyone to accept you or forgive you .

[ scene_break ] tina : wow , those jewels are fake ? oh , how did that happen ? cain : what a shocker , huh ? tina : yeah , i mean , but anybody could have done that . i mean , ramsey or carlo hesser . even his boyfriend , jonas . i mean , he was always after those jewels . cain : cut the act , tina . you know damn well those jewels are as fake as that affair between jonas and hesser . tina : what ? oh , really ? cain : you were playing me all along , were n't you ? you were going to cut me out of the deal from the word go . tina : no , i -- that 's not true . but you know what ? you really need to get out of here . cain : no , no , no , no , i 'm not going anywhere until i find out what you did with those jewels . and , by the way , what is up with that ? tina : um , i was going to cut something . cain : `` cut something , `` with a knife ? really ? how novel . and , tell me , what 's behind the door , tina , hmm ? step aside , tina . tina : no , you ca n't go down there . cain : why ? you afraid of what i 'll find down there ? [ scene_break ] jared : look , tess would have programmed the code herself when she had it installed , so -- natalie : i do n't know , tina tried jess ' birthday , bree 's birthday , jess ' anniversary . oh , no . jared : what ? natalie : what if it was tess ' birthday ? you know , the day that she actually came into existence ? jared : perfect , do you know when that is ? natalie : no . oh , my god , what if she used that ? jared : then we 're never going to figure it out . natalie : what are we going to do now ? jared : okay , we 've got to think like tess . what 's the most important thing in the world to her ? natalie : nash . [ scene_break ] todd : you want to keep a journal , huh ? marty : yeah , well , it hit me that if i kept one before the accident , i 'd know about my life even if i could n't remember it . and , uh , it would be a little bit like a friend to talk to . todd : you have me . marty : true . no , it 's just there 's some things that a woman wants to talk to with another woman friend . todd : oh , i get it . like girl stuff ? marty : yeah , exactly . todd : mm - hmm . and what would you tell this girlfriend of yours about me ? marty : oh , boy . let 's see . well -- thank you -- i guess i would tell her that , you know , i look forward to you walking through the door in the morning with your hair messy . see , i told you . i told you . see , i embarrassed you . i love it . but i -- those are the kind of things i should tell my friend and not you . todd : yeah , probably . marty : i know . do n't worry ; i wo n't keep any deep , dark secrets from you . [ scene_break ] john : have a seat , ms. ketring . janet : oh , you can call me janet . john : i guess i could also call you lee . janet : i beg your pardon ? john : well , that was your name when you first came to llanview , right , 20 years ago ? a.k.a . lee halpern , a.k.a . lee sanders , a.k.a . carol harper dennison . prostitution , fraud . ran a shady consulting firm called dyna - woman . that 's a catchy little name . you faked your own death in 1988 . that 's not the first time you pulled that stunt . hmm , you 've been a busy girl . got yourself a new name , nursing degree . pretty good at covering your tracks , too . you know , i got to admit , i did n't get the whole story the first time i looked . but eventually i did . and now i think it 's time to hear the rest of it . [ scene_break ] blair : so why do n't you tell me what you 're really worried about , sweetheart . starr : well , i 'm scared that i wo n't know the right thing to do when labor starts , or that something 's going to go wrong . blair : how many times has dr. joplin told us that this little baby is going to be just fine and is doing just fine ? hmm ? okay . starr : maybe i 'll just feel better once the baby 's born and marcie takes care of him or her . blair : yeah , and that 's going to happen really soon . come on , let 's go . it 's going to be okay . teacher : okay , so , we 'll begin by doing some stretching out with tailor sitting . great . hey , you two . blair : hi . teacher : hope there wo n't be any unexpected interruptions this time . blair : oh , well , i 'm happy to report starr 's father has not been a problem lately . starr : yeah , he 's finally found somebody else 's life to ruin . [ scene_break ] marty : you 're so quiet suddenly . todd : yeah , i 'm just thinking about what you just said . marty : about keeping secrets from each other ? todd : yeah , i think it 's important . marty : good . what , are you worried about something ? todd : no , why do you say that ? marty : you know , once starr has this baby and we get settled someplace new , i 'm going to be stronger , and i wo n't be hiding from john mcbain . i 'm going to be able to go out in the real world , and you wo n't have to look after me all the time . todd : no , i like looking after you , although i am looking forward to a new life . marty : me , too . and when i decided not to -- to read that news article about what happened to me -- well , i really felt liberated . but i would like to get my hands on your newspaper like you suggested and maybe check out some of the happier times . you know , i know you took care of me then , and you 're doing it now . you 've given me a whole new life . todd : maybe not for the right reason . marty : why ? is there some ulterior motive as to why you 're keeping me here ? [ scene_break ] john : then you came back to llanview . that 's the part i do n't quite understand -- literally returning to the scene of the crime . in this case , crimes . janet : i do n't know what you 're talking about . john : ramsey needed a nurse who would keep her mouth shut . he used the bureau to find you , right ? then he suppressed the records . that 's why it was almost impossible to find this stuff . i 'm curious -- did you change your name because you wanted to avoid confusion with lee ramsey , lee halpern ? janet : look , you have got the wrong person . i am not who you think i am . john : really ? hmm . you know what we could do ? we could always call up some of your old friends from here , see if they 'll come down and make a positive i.d . who do we got ? we got max holden , renee divine . tina roberts -- i think she 's -- she 's in town . [ scene_break ] tina : i promised i would n't let anyone get past me . cain : move away from the door , tina . tina : no ! cain : i 'm going down to that basement now ! tina : no , the jewels are n't down there . cain : oh , so you do know where the jewels are . tina : oh , boy . cain : take me to the jewels , tina . tina : yeah , in your dreams . cain : rock , paper , scissors says shoot ! cain : sledgehammer trumps knife every time . so , please , now , show me to the jewels . tina : all right . come on .

[ scene_break ] cain : stop stalling . open the damn thing . [ scene_break ] viki : jessica ? honey ? [ scene_break ] cain : what in the hell is taking you so long ? tina : look , i am just not good at combinations , okay ? i can never remember them . cain : you better not be trying to pull something , tina . not again . [ scene_break ] teacher : just imagine a balloon or a feather that you 're trying real hard to blow away from your face . go . now that you know the breathing you 'll be using in third - stage labor , let 's move on to one of my favorite topics -- pushing . but , please , do n't any of you actually do it , okay ? [ laughter ] teacher : i have a technique for pushing that 's guaranteed to speed things along . blair : and i 'm going to be there every step of the way . [ scene_break ] john : so , should i start making those calls ? janet : no , wait . let me explain . i left all that behind . i -- i have started a new life . john : a new life working for todd manning . [ scene_break ] todd : why would i have an ulterior motive ? marty : well , what -- what you did for me was pretty unbelievable . i mean , what was in it for you ? todd : well , when i found you at ramsey 's , i was a different person . totally . i was bitter and angry . in that moment , i -- i made a decision , a conscious decision to step up . i think it changed me . you believe people can change , right ? marty : hey , i would n't be a psychiatrist if i did n't think people could change . todd : yeah . well , for the first time in my life , i feel like a better man . so i guess that 's what 's in it for me . marty : i hope you understand why i had to turn down your marriage proposal . it had nothing to do with you not being good enough . todd : oh . [ marty laughs ] todd : course not . marty : i know , i do n't have to tell you that . todd : i get it . marty : it 's just -- it was about me not being ready . todd : yeah . yeah , no , i do , i understand . marty : i mean , i 've made mistakes , too , apparently . that 's what you told me . todd : yeah , but nothing major . marty : well , i 've hurt you and i would like to make that up to you . todd : you have nothing to make up for . marty : well , whatever we 've done in our past , you and me , we can redeem ourselves in the present . and -- i mean , for example , when you chose to take care of me , you did a good thing . and you agreed to take care of starr 's baby . again , you did the same thing . so maybe now we can -- i do n't know -- make those same kind of choices together . [ doorbell rings ] todd : no idea who that is . why do n't you relax ? i 'll give you some privacy here . todd : what the hell are you doing here , dr. joplin ? [ scene_break ] teacher : so that 's pushing . starr : oh , my god . blair : listen , dr. joplin , marcie , and i are all going to be there for you . we 're going to make sure you get through it , okay ? teacher : i 'd like to talk a little about child care now . labor 's hard , but your job is just beginning . starr : mom , marcie should be here for this , not me . blair : you want to go ? starr : no . no , i 'm bringing this baby into the world . even though marcie 's going to be taking care of that child , i -- i 'm still going to be thinking about him or her doing all the things a baby does . and when one day i come face to face with this person , i want to be able to say that i did everything and learned everything that a mother is supposed to . blair : when did you get so smart ? starr : you know , i 'm not so scared anymore . a lot of people have given birth , right ? blair : yeah , they 've been doing it for centuries . starr : even you did . blair : a couple of times . starr : oh , and you 're still here , so -- blair : the last time i looked . starr : okay . everything 's going to be okay . nothing is going to go wrong . blair : that 's right . starr : okay . teacher : asleep the whole time . i tell them , `` honey , you 've got to get your husband to do one of those night feedings . `` [ scene_break ] dr. joplin : i though you 'd want to see this . todd : i thought i told you to send this to me , not come in person . all right , so what is it ? something wrong ? dr. joplin : yes . something 's very wrong . [ scene_break ] cain : hurry up ! tina : well , i ca n't concentrate with you breathing down my neck . cain : all right , well , just do it . tina : oh , tess is the only one who knows the combination . what am i going to do ? [ scene_break ] john : so , what do you do for manning ? janet : i 'm his housekeeper . john : mm - hmm , same job you did for ramsey . janet : yes . john : of all the people in this town , both ramsey and manning hire the exact same nurse . john : you 're not working up at the house , looking after the place . you 're looking after a person . who is it ? [ scene_break ] marty 's voice : a blank page in a book . cliché , i know , but at times that 's what i feel like . as if my life began when i met todd manning . and today he proposed to me . [ scene_break ] todd : what is it ? is starr all right ? is there something wrong with the baby ? what ? dr. joplin : the baby 's fine . so is starr . todd : then why did you say there was something wrong ? dr. joplin : because of what you 're doing . that 's what 's wrong . todd : oh , that again . dr. joplin : yes , that again . i ca n't sleep . i can barely eat . that 's how sickened i am by what you 're asking me to do . how do i tell your daughter that her baby is dead ? todd : shh . dr. joplin : how do i -- todd : keep your voice down , please . dr. joplin : how do i not tell her that i gave him to you ? how -- how will i live with myself ? how will you ? i want you to look at this sonogram . do you see this ? this baby is real , not a pawn in some twisted game -- real . now , i want you to reconsider . look , i do n't know what drove you to make such a hideous plan . but i do believe that you love your daughter . i can see it in your eyes . i pray i 'm right because if i 'm not , we 're both beyond redemption . [ scene_break ] teacher : great job today , group . keep exercising and practicing your breathing . i know it 's boring , but you 'll be so glad you did it when you go into labor . woman : hey , want to go get something to eat ? man : last time we get to socialize without a babysitter .

[ scene_break ] todd : why would i have an ulterior motive ? marty : well , what -- what you did for me was pretty unbelievable . i mean , what was in it for you ? todd : well , when i found you at ramsey 's , i was a different person . totally . i was bitter and angry . in that moment , i -- i made a decision , a conscious decision to step up . i think it changed me . you believe people can change , right ? marty : hey , i would n't be a psychiatrist if i did n't think people could change . todd : yeah . well , for the first time in my life , i feel like a better man . so i guess that 's what 's in it for me . marty : i hope you understand why i had to turn down your marriage proposal . it had nothing to do with you not being good enough . todd : oh . [ marty laughs ] todd : course not . marty : i know , i do n't have to tell you that . todd : i get it . marty : it 's just -- it was about me not being ready . todd : yeah . yeah , no , i do , i understand . marty : i mean , i 've made mistakes , too , apparently . that 's what you told me . todd : yeah , but nothing major . marty : well , i 've hurt you and i would like to make that up to you . todd : you have nothing to make up for . marty : well , whatever we 've done in our past , you and me , we can redeem ourselves in the present . and -- i mean , for example , when you chose to take care of me , you did a good thing . and you agreed to take care of starr 's baby . again , you did the same thing . so maybe now we can -- i do n't know -- make those same kind of choices together . [ doorbell rings ] todd : no idea who that is . why do n't you relax ? i 'll give you some privacy here . todd : what the hell are you doing here , dr. joplin ?

[ scene_break ] dr. obrecht : oh , forgive the theatrics , maedchen ( girl ) . i simply could n't resist seeing the look on your face . i thought you would guess the game before i revealed my true identity . one would think you 'd be all too aware of what a good mask can do . robin : you 're even sicker than i thought you were . dr. obrecht : and you , more weak . tell me , who wins ? robin : where 's jerry ? dr. obrecht : recovering from his unfortunate shoulder injury . robin : okay , so ... [ sighs ] what -- this is your new plan ? are you going to kidnap my mother so you can replace her , too ? dr. obrecht : please . i have no intentions of masquerading as your mother . working eight hours a day behind a desk on a government salary ? no , that 's torture . i needed the mask to procure ... someone else . robin : who ? faison : that would be me . [ scene_break ] sonny : so , thank you , uh , you know , for coming by today . duke : you 're very welcome , although your associate made it perfectly clear i did n't have much choice . sonny : yeah , well , he -- he can be pretty , uh , intimidating , as you can probably see . duke : well , whatever our mutual interests are , i hope this does n't take too long . sonny : i want to ask you a few questions about , uh , um ... an old friend of yours . julian jerome . duke : we were not friends . sonny : associate . duke : what about him ? sonny : i 'm sure you 've heard about , uh , what happened to my recent shipment . duke : a coffee shipment , was n't it ? sonny : a freighter exploded as it approached the pier . duke : i was with anna when she got the report , and i was later on the scene . and , apparently , there was n't much evidence . sonny : that was the first incident . i 'm sure it was n't the biggest . duke : do you have any idea who 's targeting you ? sonny : yeah . uh , shawn has -- uh , he 's been interviewing , you know , the competition . talked to one of the enforcers . duke : did he offer up any insight ? shawn : as a matter of fact , he did . his boss ' name ? julian jerome . duke : well , in that case , the man was lying to you , 'cause julian jerome is ... dead . sonny : i was hoping that maybe you can , uh , tell me something about his death . duke : well , uh , he died in a gunfight . sonny : with who ? duke : me . ... or , rather , the person who was pretending to be me . [ scene_break ] faison : my dear robin . it 's been a long time . robin : stay away from me . so , this is why you abandoned your grandson and left him with me -- so you could break this psychopath out of prison ? dr. obrecht : i knew you 'd take good care of the baby . and as much as i love my liebchen ( dear ) , he would 've gotten in the way of a jailbreak . [ scene_break ] britt : if she ca n't bring ben to my father , she 'd bring my father to him . she 'd have to break him out . nikolas : again , steinmauer is a maximum - security prison . it 's supposed to be escape - proof . britt : look , it 's not a problem for my mother . she 's capable of anything , especially when it comes to my father . nikolas : you ca n't go down this road right now . it 's -- it 's not good for you or ben to speculate on any of this . britt : you know something , do n't you ? nikolas : [ clears throat ] britt : do n't you ? nikolas : i do n't know anything for sure . but considering how the reps at the prison clammed up ... something 's gone down there .

[ scene_break ] robert : i knew it , anna . i told you . our daughter 's alive ! anna : that 's what faison said . robert : well , uh , what else did he say ? did he say where obrecht may have taken her ? anna : no . no , um ... after ... he said robin was alive , then he refused to give out any more information . robert : so he clammed up ? anna : not exactly . faison would n't tell me where she is . he said he would show me , provided i went with him . robert : what ? anna : and that 's when obrecht jumped me . and faison and obrecht -- they got away .

[ scene_break ] anna : so , when i came to , obrecht and faison were gone . robert : but are you all right ? anna : yes , i 'm fine ! of course , i 'm fine . the staff checked me over . i 'm just frustrated , because it was an amateur mistake . i should 've had obrecht restrained . instead , i was distracted . i was distracted by faison when i saw him ! oh , god . i loathe that man . i hate him . he has some kind of sick hold over me . robert : look . let 's not beat ourselves up over this , all right ? anna : i let them get away clean . they did n't leave a trace . robert : so , we have no leads . we have nothing . we do n't know where our daughter is . anna : we do n't even know that faison is telling the truth . this could be some twisted game to get inside my head . robert : no . not this time . anna : you warned me . faison is insidious . he 's made this kind of obsessive study of my life . he knows what buttons to push . he knows what i am desperate to hear . he told me robin was alive , because i practically begged him to . that does n't make it true ! robert : you do n't listen to faison . you listen to me . i 've seen her . i know she 's alive ! the minute we find obrecht , we find our daughter ! [ cell phone ringing ] anna : maybe this is a lead . nikolas ? [ scene_break ] sabrina : i was with you last night . you seemed to accept that it could n't have been robin on the phone . patrick : i know that it does n't make sense . but the more that i go over it in my head , the more i 'm convinced that i heard robin . sabrina : you said the connection was terrible . patrick : it was . and there was lots of static , and it kept cutting in and out . sabrina : and did n't the caller say something about the sun ? patrick : i said that it was a bad connection , and i might 've misunderstood that part . sabrina : maybe you heard what you wanted to hear . it was robin 's birthday . you were thinking about her . it 's understandable that your mind would play tricks on you . patrick : somebody called . i know robin 's voice . but let 's just say that it was n't her . then who was it ? sabrina : i know you did n't just make up a phone call . patrick : but you do n't think that it was robin on the phone . sabrina : most likely , it was a wrong number . patrick : [ clears throat ] that 's what i told myself last night . the more i thought about it , the less that it made sense . now , i 'm not saying ... if it was n't robin on the phone , somebody definitely said her name , and -- and that would be one hell of a coincidence if it was just a wrong number . sabrina : patrick ... robin 's gone . there 's no way it could 've been her . there has to be some other explanation . patrick : i know . but in this moment , i do n't know what that could be . [ scene_break ] ben : [ crying ] robin : what did you do to my mother ? dr. obrecht : oh , spare us the hysterics ! your mother 's alive , much to my chagrin . she was surprised to find me one step ahead of her . naturally , she tried to thwart our escape , but she did n't anticipate my resolve . needless to say , i ... subdued her . robin : [ chuckles ] looks like she did n't go down without a fight . good shot , mom . dr. obrecht : insolence . faison : [ murmuring ] robin : so , if my mother was n't there to intercept you , why was she at that prison ? faison : well , she came to see me . robin : my mother hates you . why would she willingly go anywhere near you ? faison : because your stupid father could n't keep his mouth shut . he told your mother you were alive . dr. obrecht : cesar ! what are you doing ? ! ben : [ fusses ] robin : my father . [ chuckles ] my father 's awake . he saw me , and he knows that i 'm alive . that 's why my mom was there -- because she knows that . she knows that you have me , and they 're looking for me right now !

[ sighs ] as yet , they do n't have any indication of where they 've gone . nikolas : uh , britt and i ... may know where they are . anna : why ? did obrecht contact her daughter again ? nikolas : she sent her a video message . anna : did she say where she is ? nikolas : she just , uh , went on about wanting to be a family again , but ... i recognized where the message was recorded . obrecht was definitely on cassadine island . anna : cassadine island ? uh , could you forward me that message ? nikolas : yes , of course . anna : okay . i 'll be on a flight to greece , then . nikolas : okay . uh , britt and i actually just landed in -- in athens . as soon as we de - plane , we 're chartering a boat to the island . anna : under no circumstances do you go on that island . nikolas : uh , anna , with all due respect , it -- it is my island . i own it . i have every right to go there . anna : no . you listen to me . this is dangerous . i want you and britt to remain in athens ... until i give you further instructions . do you understand me ? have i made myself clear ? nikolas : yes . clear . anna : all right . i 'll be in touch . [ sighs ] robert : great . when are we leaving ? [ scene_break ] sonny : robert scorpio found julian 's body . duke : you sound skeptical . sonny : well , you know , he -- scorpio has a history of faking deaths . duke : indeed , but he would n't use that expertise for somebody like julian jerome . sonny : and why would you say that ? duke : because he was a threat , like all the jeromes . he was a threat to me , to anna , and , by extension , to robin . i mean , the father , victor jerome -- he was obsessive , pathologically greedy . the daughter , olivia -- she was a lunatic . the sanest of them all was julian , but even he was dangerous and evil . so if scorpio says he was dead , then he was most definitely dead . sonny : okay . duke : so it seems to me the man that you spoke to was intentionally misleading you . shawn : well , he was pretty convincing . duke : well , if there is a julian jerome , it 's only somebody with the same name . i can assure you he is no relation . sonny : what makes you so sure ? duke : julian only had a son , one son . he did n't even know he had him . he was adopted by tony and bobbie jones . he 's carly 's brother , lucas jones . so , if that is all , gentlemen ... sonny : actually , there 's something else . how much do you , uh , know about your new boss ? duke : derek wells ? why are you inquiring about him ? does this have something to do with julian jerome ? sonny : no , absolutely not . but since you 're in my office ... this -- this guy wells has been , like -- he 's been taking shots at me in his newspaper . i barely even know the guy . i mean , i might 've had , what -- one conversation with him ? i have n't had any business dealings with him . but for whatever reason , he keeps coming after me . so ... any inside information ... would be greatly appreciated . duke : i ca n't offer you much . i deal mostly on the corporate side . the editorial side , i do n't have much say in . and , personally ... i hardly know mr. wells . sonny : so , you two were n't acquainted before you started working for him ? duke : i never laid eyes on him before . shawn : how 'd you get the job ? duke : well , the same way most people get employment . i was looking for work , and , just by chance and mutual acquaintances , i met mr. wells , and he offered to look at my résumé . sonny : so the guy just -- just hired you , just like that ? duke : well , he was a little reluctant at first . he was a little concerned about my past involvement with organized crime . sonny : oh , he was . duke : yes , but i assured him that part of my life was dead and buried ... especially now that i 'm involved with anna . [ scene_break ] robert : we leave now , we can be there in the morning . anna : excuse me ? robert : we ca n't afford to waste another day . anna : robert , you do n't understand . there 's no `` we `` about this . i 'm gon na handle this . you 're in no condition to walk out of this facility . robert : come on , you yourself said it . i 'm back on both feet . anna : you 're not recovered . robert : anna , this is our daughter out there . our daughter . all those times , all those important occasions that i missed -- what was i doing ? i 'm out saving other people 's kids but never my own . i failed her . anna : robin never thought that . you were her hero . robert : yeah , well , now it 's time to start acting like one . anna : you need to get better . robert : when i was lying on that floor there with obrecht 's needle stuck in my gut , robin was wheeled past me , strapped to a wheelchair . i saw her . she saw me . she knows that i saw her . i heard her voice . she 's waiting for me to come for her . anna : i know how badly you want this . i would feel the same way . but you are not strong enough . you ca n't risk it . robert : you 're talking to me about risks ? anna : well , robin would want you to be better . robert : then it 's a good thing that i 'm the parent in this arrangement . now , look ... i happen to know cassadine island . i can get us in and out of the compound undetected . i 'm coming with you . [ scene_break ] faison : i offered to bring anna to see you . dr. obrecht : stille ( silent ) ! despite cesar succumbing to his adolescent crush and telling anna that you 're still alive , we were able to evade her . robin : not for long . dr. obrecht : she may have her suspicions , but she has no proof . in fact , considering all the times and all the ways cesar has deceived your mother -- double crosses , brainwashing , hypnosis , latex masks ... it 's doubtful that she believed him when he told her you were alive . faison : of course , my sweet anna believes me . dr. obrecht : more importantly , she and your father have n't the slightest idea where to find you , so you see , my dear dr. scorpio - drake , this changes nothing . faison : [ popping lips ] [ scene_break ] anna : look , even if i agreed that i needed your assistance , and i 'm not saying that i do , i still think it 's better that you stay here . robert : is this your version of reverse psychology ? anna : no . i know better . but have you thought about your brother ? you know , he does n't know what we believe about robin , and if you suddenly hop a plane to greece , what are we gon na tell mac ? mac : tell me what ? [ scene_break ] duke : happy to be of service . sonny : thanks for all the info . it was great . and , you know , it makes me feel really good that you 're on the straight and narrow , especially working for derek wells . duke : i do n't know why that should be so important to you . and i do n't suppose you 're gon na tell me . but if you come across anything , any information that concerns anna and me , i trust you will keep us in the loop . sonny : yeah , yeah , yeah . we 'll see . shawn : well , that 's it . sonny : you think ? shawn : yeah , i mean , lavery made a real compelling case due to the fact that julian jerome is dead , which means he is n't derek wells . i mean , he 's definitely not the head of some rival syndicate that went after our shipment . sonny : lavery regrets anything to do with the mob . you heard him talking about anna . he 's not gon na do anything , you know , criminal as long as he 's with her . shawn : so ? sonny : julian jerome is a symbol of what he left behind . he wants to believe that he 's dead and buried . does not make it true . shawn : robert scorpio was the police commissioner at that time . he saw jerome dead . how do you get around that ? sonny : cops lie all the time , you know , for different reasons . shawn : with all due respect , you know , i think you 're -- you know , you 're too attached to your theory about julian jerome and derek wells being the same person . i mean , it was a good idea , but it did n't pan out . look , i 'll look into some other leads and see what i can come up with . sonny : no . stay on the jeromes . i got a gut feeling . something does n't sit right with me .

[ scene_break ] sonny : robert scorpio found julian 's body . duke : you sound skeptical . sonny : well , you know , he -- scorpio has a history of faking deaths . duke : indeed , but he would n't use that expertise for somebody like julian jerome . sonny : and why would you say that ? duke : because he was a threat , like all the jeromes . he was a threat to me , to anna , and , by extension , to robin . i mean , the father , victor jerome -- he was obsessive , pathologically greedy . the daughter , olivia -- she was a lunatic . the sanest of them all was julian , but even he was dangerous and evil . so if scorpio says he was dead , then he was most definitely dead . sonny : okay . duke : so it seems to me the man that you spoke to was intentionally misleading you . shawn : well , he was pretty convincing . duke : well , if there is a julian jerome , it 's only somebody with the same name . i can assure you he is no relation . sonny : what makes you so sure ? duke : julian only had a son , one son . he did n't even know he had him . he was adopted by tony and bobbie jones . he 's carly 's brother , lucas jones . so , if that is all , gentlemen ... sonny : actually , there 's something else . how much do you , uh , know about your new boss ? duke : derek wells ? why are you inquiring about him ? does this have something to do with julian jerome ? sonny : no , absolutely not . but since you 're in my office ... this -- this guy wells has been , like -- he 's been taking shots at me in his newspaper . i barely even know the guy . i mean , i might 've had , what -- one conversation with him ? i have n't had any business dealings with him . but for whatever reason , he keeps coming after me . so ... any inside information ... would be greatly appreciated . duke : i ca n't offer you much . i deal mostly on the corporate side . the editorial side , i do n't have much say in . and , personally ... i hardly know mr. wells . sonny : so , you two were n't acquainted before you started working for him ? duke : i never laid eyes on him before . shawn : how 'd you get the job ? duke : well , the same way most people get employment . i was looking for work , and , just by chance and mutual acquaintances , i met mr. wells , and he offered to look at my résumé . sonny : so the guy just -- just hired you , just like that ? duke : well , he was a little reluctant at first . he was a little concerned about my past involvement with organized crime . sonny : oh , he was . duke : yes , but i assured him that part of my life was dead and buried ... especially now that i 'm involved with anna .

[ scene_break ] kevin : how can this be ? everything else he said made perfect sense . alex : well , hawkins created this elaborate story to barter with . it 's not the first time in the world that a criminal lies to cops . okay . it 's time to move on , find another solution to this problem . kevin : wait , wait , wait . why -- why are you willing to give up on this so easily ? alex : because the eyewitness gave us bum information . kevin : but he did n't . he did n't . look . look . okay , this is the scene from hawkins ' vantage point . just stay with me . stay with me for a minute , all right ? here 's the road leading in from town . and here 's the curve in the road where the incident occurred . this is the convenience store billy goes in to get the ice cream for delia . and this is the witness 's house , down the road a little bit , catty - corner from where delia was struck , right around here . hawkins says he 's standing in front of his house just like that . delia 's over here , chasing after her puppy . along comes the car , strikes delia , who ends up over here . okay ? the car hits the brakes hard , comes to a complete stop , and that is what alerts our witness , okay ? the driver gets out of the car , and voilà . hawkins has a clear line of sight from where he 's standing , and he can see everything . he can see the front of the car . he can see the license plate . he can see the driver get out of the car , turn around to look at the dog , get back in the car , and take off again . chavez , i am convinced that it happened exactly the way he described it , which means that he saw the monster who did this . [ scene_break ] adam : chloe and jack are connor 's godparents . yes . and chelsea and i have named jack as legal guardian if something were to happen to me . victor : and i 'm sure you 'll do everything in your power to prevent that from happening . chelsea : adam does n't owe you any explanations . connor is our son . this is our family . adam : it 's okay . it 's not upsetting me . chelsea : what makes you think you can waltz in here and stake a claim to our son ? anita : wow . you know , the ceremony was delightful . and i 'm just tickled pink that the two of you are getting hitched again . but i just remembered there 's someplace i have to be , so , uh , chelsea , honey , would you walk me out ? chelsea : okay . anita : if you need to blow off some steam later , i want you to call me . okay ? chelsea : okay . anita : i 'm here for you , baby . give me a hug . jack : mind telling me what 's going on here ? adam : nothing but a hijacking . jack : after you have been so adamant about not wanting him anywhere near your lives . adam : excuse me , jack . i got him . yeah . victor : allow me . hey , little boy . hey , little boy . hey , little boy . yes . yes . you in your bonnet , huh . look at that . that 's right . that 's right . you looking for a bottle ? oh , yeah . that 's fine . yes . yes . i 'm your grandfather . that 's right . you got a lot of spunk for a little boy . my goodness . i bet you that comes from the newman side of the family . chelsea : he 's hungry . i need to feed him . victor : all right . chelsea : come here , baby . victor : there we go . chelsea : okay . i think the blessing is over . [ connor fussing ] chloe : i 'm sorry , but this is exactly what i was warning you about . you marry the son , and you get victor along with it . and for you to think that he was n't gon na be a part of your lives is just crazy . chelsea : okay . i 'm not doing this right now , chloe . i 'm not . [ connor crying ] chelsea : shh . chloe : the only reason why i 'm saying these things is because i am his godmother . i was the one that you asked to protect your son . as long as adam is in your life , victor 's always gon na be this dark , looming shadow . adam obviously can not control him . so you need to act in your child 's best interests before -- chelsea : okay ! enough , chloe ! enough ! please ! i 'll call you . [ connor continues crying ] [ scene_break ] kelly : and this is how the project is set up in a legal sense . billy : by an anonymous do - gooder who still does n't want anybody to know his or her name , right ? sticking to that story ? kelly : mm . billy : i 'm not trying to break any rules here . i 'm going to respect his or her wishes kelly : i 'm guessing you just want to be able to thank them . billy : how 'd you guess ? kelly : billy , why do n't you look at it this way . by not calling attention to themselves , the donor is ensuring that the focus will remain squarely on the foundation 's mission . billy : sure . yeah . i suppose . kelly : okay , next item . are you willing to head the board of directors and spearhead this project ? billy : do i have a choice ? kelly : well , just because your mother suggested it does n't mean that it 's binding . but still , if you say yes , there are other people that will benefit from your mother 's persistence . billy : you can call her what she is , a pushy broad . as her best friend described her , a pushy broad . kelly : well , as soon as the board is set up , then the delia project can help kids in need live out their dreams . it 's a wonderful cause . it has a huge endowment . and , personally , i think that you would be a great director . billy : i would ? kelly : yes , you would . billy : you seem certain about that . kelly : you are great with kids . you are very creative . you have management experience . you have a ton of contacts . i think that you 're a man of vision for this project . i know for a fact that you 're very passionate . i think , um , the first order of business would be , then , the mission statement . it 's very general , and i think that you should maybe personalize it and then , um , you know , define the parameters . i think i have the original -- ow ! billy : whoa . what 'd you do ? kelly : it 's nothing . it 's just a stupid paper cut . billy : oh , no . those are the worst . i hate those . kelly : [ chuckles ] billy : not fun . kelly : thank you . billy : little things hurt the most . kelly : billy , i think ... i think that we need to talk . [ scene_break ] stitch : i 'm still married , technically . victoria : i know that . um , listen , the only reason that i , um , thought about inviting kelly is because i overheard you telling billy that things were pretty much over between you and your wife . stitch : as painful as that is to admit ... that 's true . victoria : i 'm not trying to play matchmaker , okay ? stitch : you 're not ? victoria : i 'm not . it 's just that , you know , you and kelly are both really good , decent people , and i know that she 's had a hell of a year . and it seems like , you know , maybe you have , too , and maybe you could use a friend , you know , somebody to talk to , a little human interaction , someone to hang out with outside of work . i 'm sorry . i meant no harm . stitch : i know you did n't , vicki . you seem to be a very compassionate person . and believe me , i really appreciate the gesture . it 's just i 'm not in a position to get involved with anyone , even if it is just friends . broken trust is corrosive . it does damage in ways you do n't even realize . [ scene_break ] noah : wait . just come here . you told me that this zach guy is a relative , right ? there 's got to be more to it than that , because every time i bring him up , you tell me something different . and then i found those pills in your purse that you supposedly took from him . courtney : i 'm through explaining myself to you , noah . noah : okay , sure . so instead of just being honest with me , you 're just gon na push me away ? courtney : because we do n't belong together . noah : listen , courtney , whatever it is that you think you ca n't tell me , you can trust me . i swear to you . courtney : it 's over , noah . i 'm sorry . i never meant to hurt you . noah : wait . [ scene_break ] adam : thanks for coming , jack . i 'll take it from here . jack : i 'm happy to stay . adam : it 's fine . jack : i ca n't help feeling i might be needed . adam : you 've done everything i 've asked of you , jack . jack : adam , something is going on here . adam : and if that 's the case , it does n't matter . legally , we 're protected now . jack : i will do everything in my power to make sure of that . you have my word . adam : i 'm fairly certain you were n't invited here today . victor : i made you a proposal . i was waiting for your answer . it appears i got one . [ scene_break ] alex : george hawkins did see the driver and the angle he swerved at , but none of that was in the media . kevin : right . that 's what i 'm saying . how else would he have known ? alex : easy . he 's been here a lot . interrogation room , the squad room , the holding cell . kevin : i 'm confused . what are you saying ? alex : i 'm saying that he probably overheard us talking , created a perfect story to sound convincing . kevin : so you think he 's lying ? alex : yes . he 's a three - strike felon . he 'll do anything to get a better deal . and that list you pulled is conclusive . there 's no match . no license - plate matches , no description . i 'm sorry , kev . but this is what i meant about letting the emotions get the best of you . in this line of work , you 've got to stay objective , okay . otherwise you spend your whole time chasing false leads . [ scene_break ] victor : so judging by the way things played out , you have made your decision . i get access to my grandson ... on my terms . in exchange , i will not go to the authorities . smart boy . chelsea : baby 's fed . it 's time to go . victor : well , now , i understand that the two of you are gon na get married . congratulations . you have a nice day . chelsea : our family is the three of us , adam . you , me , and connor . what was that ? [ adam remembering ] victor : i wo n't go to the cops , okay ? and i promise you ... i will not take your son from you . but i will be part of his life , whether you like it or not . that 's my offer . you take it or leave it . i will get what i want . [ back to present ] chelsea : answer me . [ connor fusses ] [ scene_break ] victoria : yeah , that , um , the broken - trust thing ... without going into a lot of detail , i can definitely relate to you . oh . [ chuckles ] what are you doing ? stitch : trying to keep you from freezing to death . come on . take it . i 'm plenty warm . victoria : okay . thank you . yeah . that 's better . thank you . stitch : my pleasure . so , uh , about dinner ... i ca n't really plan anything with all the shifts i 'm pulling right now , but i could have just sworn i saw a hot- dog cart on the other side of the park , and i could really go for one right now . victoria : oh . well ... you make it a pretzel , and you 're on . stitch : [ chuckles ] let 's go . victoria : okay . [ scene_break ] billy : maybe we should just leave this . kelly : and just ignore the elephant in the room ? for how long , billy ? i 'm sorry that i went to your house for dinner . billy : yeah , why did you do that ? kelly : i do n't know . victoria asked me , and my brain just froze , and i thought i should make up an excuse , but it did n't happen . and then it just made things worse when i opened up to victoria . billy : i know . victoria can be very persuasive when she wants something , and she is now determined to be your friend , and i 'm gon na do my level best to make sure there are no more awkward dinners . but , man . [ clears throat ] kelly : i just wish ... i wish it could be different because , actually , i like victoria . and i do n't have a lot of friends here . most of my friends drifted away after sam . billy , do you think that ... we 'll ever be friends again , like we were ... before ? billy : well , since we 're going to be working together on the delia project , i think we should figure it out . kelly : so yes , you decided to do it ? billy : yeah . you convinced me and made me realize what a great opportunity this is to keep my daughter 's memory alive . kelly : that 's great . it 's great news . well , uh , if you 'll excuse me , i 've got to take care of this finger . billy : yeah , i 'll be here . i 'll be here . kelly : okay . billy : what the ... [ scene_break ] alex : what are you doing here , farrah ? courtney : i told you to stop calling me that . alex : and i told you not to blow this . courtney : i did n't , okay ? i just broke up with noah . are you satisfied ? i did it for you , zach .

[ chuckles ] victoria : looks like it might glow in the dark . stitch : i mean , this is all beef , freshly steamed , on a poppy - seed bun with the proper accoutrements . victoria : oh . stitch : i mean , even the little dash of celery salt just makes it . victoria : okay . stitch : this guy with the cart really knows what he 's doing . victoria : he sure does . stitch : [ chuckles ] victoria : well , on the rare occasion when i indulge in junk food , johnny and i prefer our hot dogs cut up on a plate with ketchup . stitch : ugh . victoria : what ? stitch : ketchup on a cut - up hot dog ? the mind reels . victoria : what ? it 's no worse than what 's in that ... thing . stitch : we aficionados have a very firm policy when it comes to that . victoria : what 's that ? stitch : do n't think about it . victoria : do n't think about it . stitch : yeah .

[ scene_break ] kelly : there we go . billy : it was adam , was n't it ? kelly : what ? billy : i did n't go searching for it . i just glanced at your desk , and there it was in black and white . the person who set up the foundation in my daughter 's name was adam newman . kelly : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] victor : well , hello , jack . have a seat . what are you drinking ? on a day like this , i 'll even buy . jack : you 've obviously found a way to wedge yourself back into adam 's life . i 'm here to tell you i 'm not gon na let you hurt him again . [ scene_break ] chelsea : connor 's down for his nap . it 's you and me now . mind telling me what just happened ? what were you thinking , letting victor intrude like that ? letting him hold our son ? ! adam : you know , i really do n't want to talk about it right now . chelsea : he walked into that church like he had every right to be there . and i swear -- i swear , when he picked up connor , i seriously almost screamed . why did n't you do something ? you did n't even make a move to stop him . adam : i remember . i was standing right there . chelsea : i need to understand this , adam . why did n't you kick victor out the second he got there ? adam : because i could n't .

[ scene_break ] kevin : [ sighs ] again ? ! what is the deal ? ! alex : dmv servers are overloaded . it happens a lot . kevin : yeah , every time i need to get onto the database . alex : you know , maybe you could go up to madison and knock some of those pointy heads together . kevin : if there 's any other way to generate a list -- alex : black suvs registered in and around genoa city with wisconsin plates starting with the letter `` g. `` i 'd say we 're starting at the right place . kevin : yeah , right here in front of this stupid little frozen hour glass ! alex : whoa ! you need to take a chill pill . relax . kevin : you 're kidding me , right ? if this new witness to the hit and run gave you accurate information , it 's gon na lead us right to delia 's killer . [ scene_break ] chelsea : you are the one who 's mistaken , victor ... thinking you can just show up like this . you were not invited . nobody wants you here , so why do n't you just leave ? adam , can you please show him the door ? jack : this may not be the time or place for whatever it is that you 're doing , victor . victor : jack , this is a family matter . kindly mind your own business . jack : i wo n't be doing that . you see , i was invited to this gathering . chelsea : just leave , victor . now . [ scene_break ] victoria : so , kelly called to apologize for running out on dinner the other night . we got to talking . billy : oh , yeah ? victoria : i mean , she did n't really come right out and say it , but i can see that she 's extremely lonely and she 's got a lot of pain locked up inside of her , and ... well , i could see why she 'd turn to you . since you each know what the other person is going through . and , um , you know , a part of me feels really bad for questioning all the time that you were spending together . billy : do n't do that . you 're entitled to your feelings . you know what the saddest part is , though ? she still blames herself for everything that happened to her son . and it 's not her fault , and i know that you felt that way about dee dee . billy : you do n't have to over think it . we 're in such a better place now . victoria : i know that . that 's good . i 'm just -- i 'm really glad that you two have each other to lean on and , you know , you can comfort each other . billy : yeah . definitely . victoria : you know the other night when i brought johnny downstairs ... [ sighs ] i could see how hard that was for her . it 's just like another reminder of what happened to her son , and i - i should n't have been so incredibly insensitive . billy : you were fine . believe me . you 're fine . it is what it is . victoria : well , i told her we 'd do it again sometime . billy : sounds great . victoria : by the way , kelly told me she 's left you several messages . are you avoiding her for some reason ? [ scene_break ] noah : hey . sorry i 'm late . i ran into my folks and victor , who was in this bizarre mood . court , you okay ? hey , listen . i think i owe you an apology . i should n't have come down on you so hard before when you came to my place . you know , it 's just , um ... cassie 's birthday is always pretty tough for me . i - i feel like i 've been pushing you , you know , too much lately about your life and your family and all that stuff . it 's clear that you 're not comfortable talking to me about it . and i should have just left it alone . you know , it 's just i 've had some women in my past that have n't been exactly honest . and i guess that 's made me a little paranoid . but that does n't mean i should dump my baggage on you . look , i 'm sorry if i 've been pressuring you . i 'll try not to do that . you know , whatever it is that you feel like you ca n't tell me , i hope you realize there 's nothing you could tell me that would make me feel differently about you . courtney : i ca n't see you anymore . [ scene_break ] kevin : come on , already ! load the page , time out , do something ! alex : i have an idea . kevin : what ? alex : you should eat something . now , you like , uh , orange beef , right ? kevin : not especially . no . alex : okay , we have a tasty selection of garlic chicken , kung pao shrimp ... fried rice ... fortune cookie . kevin : how long has this stuff been sitting out here ? alex : not long . just like a couple of ... days . kevin : yeah , no . food poisoning -- not exactly my thing . but thanks for the offer . alex : okay , look , kev , i told you this , all right . now that you are officially part of this investigation , part of the real police work is learning how to wait , how to be patient , how to not go nuts so you can stay focused and ready when the real information presents itself . kevin : yeah . i just -- i just really want this to pan out for chloe , especially after the way i hurt her feelings . alex : why ? because she 's being so possessive of chelsea 's boy ? kevin : i do n't know . maybe i did overreact , you know . maybe the way she 's dealing with her grief is actually healthy . i do n't know . alex : look , becoming super attached to this kid , carrying around his little outfit in her bag , putting pictures of connor in delia 's scrapbook instead of starting a new one when he became her godchild ... look , i 'm not an expert on , well , most things , but i think you 're right to be concerned . but , hey , what do i know ? okay , you 're a lot closer to the situation , and you 've always been pretty good about trusting your instincts . that 's why paul put you on the case . so what do they tell you ? kevin : what , my instincts ? alex : yeah . do they tell you that chloe is in the danger zone with chelsea 's kid ? kevin : [ sighs ] either way , it would be great to be able to give her this gift of justice for delia . the server 's back up . i 'm gon na finally pull those plates .

[ scene_break ] noah : look , if this is about me and tyler living in a man cave , okay , it 's not gon na be like that for very long . he and abby are looking for a place . courtney : this is n't about the living arrangement , noah . it 's this relationship . it 's ... it 's not working for me . noah : why does n't it sound like you 're kidding ? courtney : i 'm sorry . we were moving too fast . noah : then let 's slow down . courtney : [ chuckles ] it does n't work that way . noah : wait , wait , wait . what ? what ? no . i do n't -- i do n't understand any of this . courtney : we 're breaking up . it 's not that complicated . noah : yesterday , i was holding you in my arms . a couple hours ago , you show up to my place wearing that hot little cleopatra outfit , you want to rub oil all over my body . and then out of nowhere , you want to end things ? courtney : i tried , okay ? i just ... ca n't anymore . and ... i wanted to do this before it went any further . noah : this is insane . this is insane . what we have is -- it 's good . it 's really good . now , i know i have n't just been imagining that . i ca n't believe for a second that you just flip a switch and turn off all those feelings . courtney : you saw what you wanted to see . it 's the way you are , like with adriana . noah : no . this is different . this is real . something must have happened . courtney : no . noah : yeah . so what is it ? what happened ? courtney : noah , please just stop . noah : before when i left to see my parents and you were alone with summer , did she say something to you ? courtney : this is n't about summer ! it 's about this relationship and -- and us being busy and having jobs that we both care about , and then , what , we 're supposed to spend all of our time together ? it 's too much . i just ... ca n't . noah : i do n't buy that . okay ? where is this coming from ? the truth , courtney . this is about zach ? it is , is n't it ? [ scene_break ] kevin : so , what have we got ? alex : nothing . kevin : what ? alex : [ sighs ] nothing . see for yourself . kevin : i do n't believe this . alex : yeah , well its right there . no late - model black s.u.v . with wisconsin license plates beginning with the letter `` g. `` so either the witness was snowing us to get lesser charges , or he did n't actually see what he thought he saw . either way , we 're no closer to finding delia 's killer !

[ scene_break ] billy : why do you think i 'm avoiding kelly ? victoria : [ sighs ] okay , well , you two were getting to be good friends , right ? and then i throw us together into this social situation , and i just really hope that i did n't screw things up for you two . billy : it was an awkward evening , but it was n't your fault . you were just trying to make everything okay for everyone . victoria : i just thought that maybe it would help kelly , seeing you at home with your family and , you know , showing her what might be possible . i guess that was a little naive . billy : no , no . honey , this thing is not that simple . when you 're in this intense private setting , laying yourself out in front of a counselor and a bunch of grieving parents , all of them strangers , and to go from that to a light social occasion , it 's just -- it 's weird , you know . victoria : right . i know . and when you say it like that , it makes complete and total sense . it 's the context . billy : yeah . exactly . when kelly and i are together , it 's all about grief . nobody in the real world wants to hear about that , so we do n't know what to say . victoria : right . well , i wish i had known that before i said something , before i extended the invitation . i 'm so sorry . billy : no , no . do n't be sorry . what are you talking about ? you did n't do anything wrong . you had the very best intentions . you did nothing wrong . do n't be sorry . victoria : but i still want to try to find a way to make it up to kelly . billy : [ chuckles ] victoria : i 'm gon na go upstairs and check on johnny before the sitter gets here . i 'm going for a run . billy : mm . victoria : you want to come with me ? billy : you mean running , like jogging , like outside ? victoria : yeah . billy : like that ? yeah ? victoria : yeah . billy : you know what ? why do n't you go ahead ? i 'll catch up with you . victoria : all right . well , you ca n't blame me for trying . billy : yeah . running in january , outside , in wisconsin . t - that 's never gon na happen , honey . that is never gon na happen .

[ grunts ] victoria : all right , then , i will , uh , let you get back to your run . stitch : oh , no , no , no . it was no problem at all . i was looking for an excuse to knock off anyway . i just finished a long shift , and i 'm pretty beat . so , how was the dinner i never got to eat ? victoria : oh , it was good . you know , we had a lot of leftovers since dinner for four turned into dinner for two . but i meant what i said when you were leaving for the hospital . stitch : goodbye ? victoria : i owe you a meal . either at our place or , if you prefer , we can -- you know , we can go out somewhere . stitch : oh ! i 'm always up for finding a new burger joint . victoria : oh , well , you know there are other cuisines than just burgers . stitch : no . really ? victoria : mm - hmm . and we can find a nice dinner -- you know , something that does n't involve french fries and milkshakes . and , of course , we 'll invite kelly . stitch : yeah , i do n't really think that 's a good idea . [ scene_break ] billy : hey . kelly : oh , hey . billy : i 'm sorry . can we make this quick ? kelly : um , billy , the reason that i 'm trying to get a hold of you has nothing to do with us , you know . it 's about business , the delia project . billy : oh , yeah . the foundation . okay . uh , the way you sounded on the phone , i thought -- kelly : yeah , i know . hold on . i 'm sorry that i was a little abrupt . it 's just that i feel a little awkward talking to you about this . and since i called earlier and victoria picked up ... billy : yeah , i know . i talked to her . and i am sorry . i should have got back to you sooner . kelly : no , it 's okay . the way i acted at your house , i can hardly blame you for keeping your distance . you probably think that i 'm a basket case . billy : no . trust me , nobody feels that way . not at all . everybody 's got a little basket case going on right now . but since i know it 's about the foundation , that 's cool . i 'm glad you called . and that 's what i want . i want to get back to our friends , our support - group members . kelly : right . me too . me too . good . okay . about the delia project . billy : yeah , how 's that going ? kelly : well , so far , so good . you know , an attorney 's been hired , and i do n't know if you know this , but your mother stopped by . billy : my mother ? she was here ? i did n't think that was possible because there 's no valet parking in this building . kelly : no , she wants to help set up the board , and she had a great idea that you would be the perfect candidate to head things up . billy : huh . yeah , i 'm not surprised she would think that . it 's strange that i have n't talked to her myself . but i think it 's pretty obvious she 's not about to let me wallow in my own grief . i 'm sure that 's how she put it . kelly : well , i got the impression that she means well . billy : no , she does . that 's not always the case with my mom . she lost a child of her own , actually . before i was born . a teenage son . so she thought . it 's a very long story . but , anyway , i guess she might have forgotten what it 's like , or this is the way she handles things , just focuses all the bad feelings on something worthwhile . at any rate , it 's just another well - intentioned person who wants me to forget about the death of my kid and move on with my life . kelly : yeah . i know how you feel . [ scene_break ] kevin : how can this be ? everything else he said made perfect sense . alex : well , hawkins created this elaborate story to barter with . it 's not the first time in the world that a criminal lies to cops . okay . it 's time to move on , find another solution to this problem . kevin : wait , wait , wait . why -- why are you willing to give up on this so easily ? alex : because the eyewitness gave us bum information . kevin : but he did n't . he did n't . look . look . okay , this is the scene from hawkins ' vantage point . just stay with me . stay with me for a minute , all right ? here 's the road leading in from town . and here 's the curve in the road where the incident occurred . this is the convenience store billy goes in to get the ice cream for delia . and this is the witness 's house , down the road a little bit , catty - corner from where delia was struck , right around here . hawkins says he 's standing in front of his house just like that . delia 's over here , chasing after her puppy . along comes the car , strikes delia , who ends up over here . okay ? the car hits the brakes hard , comes to a complete stop , and that is what alerts our witness , okay ? the driver gets out of the car , and voilà . hawkins has a clear line of sight from where he 's standing , and he can see everything . he can see the front of the car . he can see the license plate . he can see the driver get out of the car , turn around to look at the dog , get back in the car , and take off again . chavez , i am convinced that it happened exactly the way he described it , which means that he saw the monster who did this . [ scene_break ] adam : chloe and jack are connor 's godparents . yes . and chelsea and i have named jack as legal guardian if something were to happen to me . victor : and i 'm sure you 'll do everything in your power to prevent that from happening . chelsea : adam does n't owe you any explanations . connor is our son . this is our family . adam : it 's okay . it 's not upsetting me . chelsea : what makes you think you can waltz in here and stake a claim to our son ? anita : wow . you know , the ceremony was delightful . and i 'm just tickled pink that the two of you are getting hitched again . but i just remembered there 's someplace i have to be , so , uh , chelsea , honey , would you walk me out ? chelsea : okay . anita : if you need to blow off some steam later , i want you to call me . okay ? chelsea : okay . anita : i 'm here for you , baby . give me a hug . jack : mind telling me what 's going on here ? adam : nothing but a hijacking . jack : after you have been so adamant about not wanting him anywhere near your lives . adam : excuse me , jack . i got him . yeah . victor : allow me . hey , little boy . hey , little boy . hey , little boy . yes . yes . you in your bonnet , huh . look at that . that 's right . that 's right . you looking for a bottle ? oh , yeah . that 's fine . yes . yes . i 'm your grandfather . that 's right . you got a lot of spunk for a little boy . my goodness . i bet you that comes from the newman side of the family . chelsea : he 's hungry . i need to feed him . victor : all right . chelsea : come here , baby . victor : there we go . chelsea : okay . i think the blessing is over . [ connor fussing ] chloe : i 'm sorry , but this is exactly what i was warning you about . you marry the son , and you get victor along with it . and for you to think that he was n't gon na be a part of your lives is just crazy . chelsea : okay . i 'm not doing this right now , chloe . i 'm not . [ connor crying ] chelsea : shh . chloe : the only reason why i 'm saying these things is because i am his godmother . i was the one that you asked to protect your son . as long as adam is in your life , victor 's always gon na be this dark , looming shadow . adam obviously can not control him . so you need to act in your child 's best interests before -- chelsea : okay ! enough , chloe ! enough ! please ! i 'll call you . [ connor continues crying ] [ scene_break ] kelly : and this is how the project is set up in a legal sense . billy : by an anonymous do - gooder who still does n't want anybody to know his or her name , right ? sticking to that story ? kelly : mm . billy : i 'm not trying to break any rules here . i 'm going to respect his or her wishes kelly : i 'm guessing you just want to be able to thank them . billy : how 'd you guess ? kelly : billy , why do n't you look at it this way . by not calling attention to themselves , the donor is ensuring that the focus will remain squarely on the foundation 's mission . billy : sure . yeah . i suppose . kelly : okay , next item . are you willing to head the board of directors and spearhead this project ? billy : do i have a choice ? kelly : well , just because your mother suggested it does n't mean that it 's binding . but still , if you say yes , there are other people that will benefit from your mother 's persistence . billy : you can call her what she is , a pushy broad . as her best friend described her , a pushy broad . kelly : well , as soon as the board is set up , then the delia project can help kids in need live out their dreams . it 's a wonderful cause . it has a huge endowment . and , personally , i think that you would be a great director . billy : i would ? kelly : yes , you would . billy : you seem certain about that . kelly : you are great with kids . you are very creative . you have management experience . you have a ton of contacts . i think that you 're a man of vision for this project . i know for a fact that you 're very passionate . i think , um , the first order of business would be , then , the mission statement . it 's very general , and i think that you should maybe personalize it and then , um , you know , define the parameters . i think i have the original -- ow ! billy : whoa . what 'd you do ? kelly : it 's nothing . it 's just a stupid paper cut . billy : oh , no . those are the worst . i hate those . kelly : [ chuckles ] billy : not fun . kelly : thank you . billy : little things hurt the most . kelly : billy , i think ... i think that we need to talk . [ scene_break ] stitch : i 'm still married , technically . victoria : i know that . um , listen , the only reason that i , um , thought about inviting kelly is because i overheard you telling billy that things were pretty much over between you and your wife . stitch : as painful as that is to admit ... that 's true . victoria : i 'm not trying to play matchmaker , okay ? stitch : you 're not ? victoria : i 'm not . it 's just that , you know , you and kelly are both really good , decent people , and i know that she 's had a hell of a year . and it seems like , you know , maybe you have , too , and maybe you could use a friend , you know , somebody to talk to , a little human interaction , someone to hang out with outside of work . i 'm sorry . i meant no harm . stitch : i know you did n't , vicki . you seem to be a very compassionate person . and believe me , i really appreciate the gesture . it 's just i 'm not in a position to get involved with anyone , even if it is just friends . broken trust is corrosive . it does damage in ways you do n't even realize . [ scene_break ] noah : wait . just come here . you told me that this zach guy is a relative , right ? there 's got to be more to it than that , because every time i bring him up , you tell me something different . and then i found those pills in your purse that you supposedly took from him . courtney : i 'm through explaining myself to you , noah . noah : okay , sure . so instead of just being honest with me , you 're just gon na push me away ? courtney : because we do n't belong together . noah : listen , courtney , whatever it is that you think you ca n't tell me , you can trust me . i swear to you . courtney : it 's over , noah . i 'm sorry . i never meant to hurt you . noah : wait .

[ scene_break ] alex : george hawkins did see the driver and the angle he swerved at , but none of that was in the media . kevin : right . that 's what i 'm saying . how else would he have known ? alex : easy . he 's been here a lot . interrogation room , the squad room , the holding cell . kevin : i 'm confused . what are you saying ? alex : i 'm saying that he probably overheard us talking , created a perfect story to sound convincing . kevin : so you think he 's lying ? alex : yes . he 's a three - strike felon . he 'll do anything to get a better deal . and that list you pulled is conclusive . there 's no match . no license - plate matches , no description . i 'm sorry , kev . but this is what i meant about letting the emotions get the best of you . in this line of work , you 've got to stay objective , okay . otherwise you spend your whole time chasing false leads .

[ scene_break ] maxie : you sure that this is the place ? lulu : yeah , griffin said that this was the ob - gyn on charlotte 's birth certificate -- dr. charles bellamy . charlotte was born in new york . this has to be the place . maxie : i , uh , had no idea it was so low - rent . [ chuckles ] lulu : it makes sense , i guess . this was before valentin had access to all of the cassadine money , and in vitro 's expensive . so maybe this was all he could afford . maxie : ugh . i just ca n't believe claudette yanked nathan and griffin around about both of them being charlotte 's father , and she was n't even the biological mom . she was the surrogate . lulu : if my theory was correct . maxie : [ gasps ] look , look , look , look . they ... they - they still use hard files , so we do not need spinelli to hack anything . lulu : one of those files could tell me if i 'm charlotte 's mom . thank you so much for helping me . and thank you for not talking about our plan with nathan . if you told nathan , nathan would tell dante , and i just do n't want him thinking that i 've become obsessed with this . i know it 's a pretty farfetched idea . maxie : the only way you 're going to find peace is if you know for sure . and you know , while we 're in manhattan , we might as well get your maid - of - honor dress . woman : uh , may i help you ? maxie : uh , hi ! uh , i 'm kayla mchenry . i made an appointment yesterday . ooh ! and i filled out all the online forms , just like i was supposed to . this is my best friend . lulu : i ... wanted to be the first to hear the good news confirmed . [ scene_break ] dante : lulu told me yesterday that she thought it could be true . that somehow her embryo could have survived and that claudette was only the surrogate , not charlotte 's mother . nathan : well , i guess that explains how claudette was able to walk away from charlotte so easily . dante : look , lulu told me she was going to let it go and focus on being a good maid of honor . but it just seemed too easy for me , and i do n't think she 's going to let it go . so i want to do some investigating before i get her hopes up . nathan : where do we start ? dante : okay , well , before you got here , i talked to the canadian authorities to see if they had any leads on claudette . they had n't . so sign of her . passport has n't been used . her credit cards have n't been used . they said if they do n't see any signs of life for the next few weeks , they will officially declare claudette dead .

[ scene_break ] tracy : well ? finn : hayden 's still not picking up . tracy : [ sighs ] she 's going to pick up when she 's ready . but i have to get to a board meeting . uh , one of our more prominent members told me that if hayden does n't make significant progress restructuring our budget by christmas , she will lose her job . finn : losing her job is the least of her worries . [ cell phone rings ] finn : hello ? elizabeth ? where are you ? i - i 'm on my way . i 'm on my way . tracy : did elizabeth find hayden ? finn : yeah , it does n't sound like she 's well enough to make any board meetings . [ scene_break ] nina : well , the only reason i allowed myself to get closer to you is because of charlotte . and then the storm hit and canceled the launch , and i had to stay and we got carried away . valentin : yes , we did . and it 's rare that i feel this kind of connection so quickly . it 's getting stronger every time i see you . nina : can we slow down ? is that okay ? valentin : of course . sorry , i did n't mean to be forceful . i just wanted to be honest . which i admit is rare for me , in most cases . but with you , i do n't have any desire to be disingenuous . nina : thank you . valentin : we can go at whatever pace you 're comfortable with . i 'm good . nina : my clothes are probably dry . i should get them . i should leave . unless charlotte is due to arrive soon . valentin : no , no , mrs. evans is going to take her to a matinee of `` a christmas carol `` at the children 's theater , so ... i guess you 're free to go . [ doorbell rings ] nina : you should get that . valentin : detective falconeri . how 's your beautiful wife ? dante : and what 's it to you ? valentin : she seemed strangely taken with my daughter yesterday , and charlotte was equally taken with your son . you sure i ca n't talk you into a playdate ? dante : well , we 're actually not here to talk about charlotte this time . nathan : we have news about claudette . she may have been found alive .

[ gasps ] i was right . charlotte is mine . [ scene_break ] dillon : how do you know that guy ? kiki : oh , yeah uh , well , the other night , i dropped my wallet , and he picked it up . then he just saw me and struck up a conversation . he told me that he 's a professional photographer , and he wants to take my picture . dillon : that sounds really sketchy . did he give you a business card ? kiki : oh , yeah . well , he said that he 's getting new ones made , but ... dillon : kiki , do n't talk to this guy . kiki : what ? you know him ? dillon : yeah , he 's a creep . this guy just got out of prison . kiki : for what ? dillon : my cousin emily , when she was a teenager , this guy tom baker , he photoshopped her face on naked images and threatened to post them all over the internet if she did n't pay him . kiki : oh , my god . that 's terrible . dillon : yeah , it gets worse . he held her at gunpoint and , although the police could never prove it , he is the one that raped elizabeth webber . [ scene_break ] franco : so , that girl that you were just with . what were you doing with her ? tom : [ sighs ] nothing . just talking . franco : what were you talking about ? tom : i 'm trying to get my photography business going again . i asked if i could take her picture . franco : did you really ? tom : franco , you 're really going to need to leave me alone . because if you do n't , it 's not going to end well for either one of us .

[ scene_break ] hayden : [ sighs ] finn : hey , hey ! i got you ! i got you . and do n't even bother arguing , 'cause i 'm not letting go . hayden : would ... just , uh ... help me on the ice . i - i 'm sure i 'll be fine . finn : no , see , um , skating does n't really work that way . once you get on the ice , it becomes much , much harder . well , i 'm surprised someone like you did n't have all sorts of lessons when they were a kid , you know , doing double axles at rockefeller center and all that . hayden : yeah , well , my father used to say rockefeller center was for tourists . finn : ah . hayden : actually , the man i thought was my father my whole life used to say that . i 'm sure my biological father , jeff webber , taught elizabeth to skate himself , so ... finn : well , you know , liz was the reason why i 'm here . she called me . she 's worried about you . hayden : whatever . maybe i should 've gone to see the matinee of `` a christmas carol `` instead . finn : oh . may i ask -- what are you doing ? hayden : i ... i made ... a bucket list of all the things i 've always wanted to do but never made time for . things i thought that i would experience some day . but , um , my some days are running out . [ scene_break ] valentin : that 's great news about claudette . charlotte will be thrilled to hear from her mother . dante : well , it 's actually not that simple . you see , a woman was found outside the calgary airport in canada . valentin : found ? what does that mean ? dante : she was in critical condition , suffering from exposure . authorities could n't identify her . she was , uh , not speaking very well , not making much sense . valentin : oh , that 's awful . do you have a photo ? i 'd love to see a photo . nina : do you know where they put my ... clothes ? what are you doing here , j. ? nathan : no , please , please , by all means , you first . did you spend the night with him ? again ? [ scene_break ] [ camera clicking ] dr. bellamy : i 'm sorry , ms. mchenry . i was right the first time . you 're not pregnant . maxie : but why do i feel like i am ? dr. bellamy : well , you may be having what we call an hysterical pregnancy . maxie : what does that mean ? ! i 'm not hysterical ! dr. bellamy : um , do we still have that list of psychiatrists in the files ? woman : why , yes , we do . dr. bellamy : oh , um , no . you stay with the patient , see if you can calm her down . i 'll get the list . maxie : no ! no , doctor , please ! i need you t - to stay with me ! doctor , i need you ! [ scene_break ] finn : why did n't you tell me you were checking items off a bucket list ? hayden : because i did n't want you to know that i 've accepted this . finn : accepted this ? hayden : i 'm going to die , finn . soon . and i did n't want you to see me like this . finn : what ? hayden : [ sighs ] finn : wobbly on skates ? so , tell me , what else did you do on the list ? hayden : well , yesterday , i - i went to niagara falls . finn : [ sighs ] hayden : it was spectacular . i 've never really been one to believe in god , but when you see something that majestic ... i kind of wish you 'd been there . and then , um , last night , i went to that theater that plays classic movies , and i saw `` an affair to remember . `` finn : i 've never seen that . hayden : cary grant and deborah kerr play two people who [ clears throat ] meet on a cruise . and even though they 're both engaged to other people , they fall in love and have an affair . and at the end of the cruise , they agree to meet in six months at the top of the empire state building to see if they still feel the same way . he shows up . she does n't . so he assumes that she does n't love him anymore . but in fact , she was in a horrible accident that prevented her from going , and she absolutely still loves him . finn : i get the plot . doomed romance . hayden : mm - hmm . i 've always been a fan of film noir . anyway , when i was a little girl [ clears throat ] i always , uh , watched the olympics , and i always wanted to be a female skater . so , once i check ice skating off the list , i want to go to iceland and walk on a glacier . finn : what is with you and the cold ? hayden : are you kidding ? i 'm so cold right now , i feel like i 've never been warm in my life , and i never will be again . finn : [ sighs ] you will be . i 'm sure of it . i promise . [ scene_break ] tom : look , man , you have to back off . if you keep attacking me , you 're going to go to prison . you 'll lose everything . franco : okay , you got it . i 'll keep my distance . but you need to stay away from elizabeth , and you need to stay away from her , too . tom : no problem . i spent a lot of time in prison . all i want is to go on with my life without you in my face . franco : well , then we both want the same thing . tom : so we 're good . franco : yeah , yeah , yeah , we 're good . [ scene_break ] kiki : i am so sorry that you had to be reminded of what happened to your cousin . dillon : [ sighs ] emily was so great . after my grandmother died , she kind of became the heart of my family . and then she was murdered by a serial killer not much different than my dad . kiki : have you talked to him ? you know , since he went to prison ? dillon : no . what would i possibly say ? kiki : right . dillon : we have a family crypt on the property . and this morning , i watched my aunt monica lay a wreath over emily -- that 's her daughter . over her grave . we do it every year . kiki : emily ... morgan . so many awful , violent deaths . dillon : it can be overwhelming . it 's a miracle any of us are able to get out of bed in the morning . kiki : but we do . because we have friends who help us . [ scene_break ] nina : seriously , j . nathan : okay , i get it . i was -- i was harsh with you the other day , and i 'm sorry about that . but were you sleeping with him then ? nina : no , stop it . nathan : so what happened ? nina : [ sighs ] charlotte was missing her mom . and -- and i came to help . and there was a storm , and i got stranded . nathan : no , no , what did this son of bitch do to manipulate you back into his bed ? nina : oh , my go -- nothing . i made a choice . nathan : you take advantage of her ? valentin : you heard your sister . it was mutual . nina : listen , you heard me the other day . i 'm a grown person . i make my own decisions . i love you very much , but you have no say over what i do or who i sleep with . nathan : nina , he murdered nikolas cassadine ! nina : oh , says ava jerome ! valentin : it was self - defense . nina : okay , we 're getting off - topic here . nathan : you ca n't ignore what this guy did ! nina : wh - what ... ugh -- you 're ignoring me ! listen , i 'm a grown woman . i make my own decisions . i went into this with my eyes wide open . no one manipulated me . no one tried to fool me . i like being with valentin . i 'll be with him again . valentin : i think your visit is , uh , over . and if you want to come again , i would consider bringing a search warrant . nathan : nina , come on , please . nina : you heard my boyfriend . please go . nathan : [ sighs ] dante : nathan , let 's go . nina : why were they here ? valentin : they were just trying to get under my skin . but i 'm glad they did . i like hearing you defend me , defend us . nina : everything i said was true . come here , boyfriend . valentin : [ laughs ] [ scene_break ] dr. bellamy : what do you think you 're doing ? these records are private . lulu : my husband cheated on me -- with my cousin . dr. bellamy : well , i 'm sorry to hear that , but that sounds more like a situation for `` the jerry springer show . `` why are you breaking into my files ? lulu : i - i , um ... because i found your business card in his pocket . and when i realized you were an ob - gyn , i just freaked out . i had to know if valeria was pregnant . i 'm so , so terribly -- please do n't call the police . woman : dr. bellamy , is there a problem ? dr. bellamy : uh , no , everything 's fine . but i need you to go to the hospital and check on ms. keung for me . she 's just started her labor . lulu : [ sighs ] thank you . thank you for being so understanding . thank you . i - i - i 'm just going to go get my friend , and we 're going to go . maxie ! oh , my god ! maxie : i am sorry , okay ? i stalled him as long as i could . lulu : it 's okay , it 's okay , it 's okay . he did catch me . i - i gave him a sob story about catching my husband cheating on me . and that i found his business card in my husband 's pocket . and that i had to find out if the slut was pregnant , but it 's fine . he 's not calling the police . we have to get out of here before he changes his mind . [ door slams , locks ] maxie : that 's not good . lulu : it 's locked ! maxie : [ chuckles ] okay . well , i guess he changed his mind . [ scene_break ] kiki : thanks for being such a good friend . dillon : of course . kiki : you know , i actually have to go . i have a job interview with a nanny agency . dillon : mm . well , you always beamed when you talked about taking care of your little sister . i think that would be a good fit for you . kiki : i think so , too . dillon : and , kiki , if you ever see that tom baker guy ... kiki : i know , go the opposite direction . dillon : and if you 're going somewhere and you do n't feel safe , i mean , feel free to call me . i can tag along , be like your badass bodyguard . kiki : all right . i might just take you up on that . franco ! hi . you know , considering that we 're roommates , i hardly ever see you lately . where have you been ? franco : i 've been busy . hey , that guy that you were talking to . his name is tom baker . and i do n't know if anybody 's told you , but he 's a real bad guy . kiki : yeah , i know . dillon just told me about what he did to elizabeth . franco : he said to me that he wants to take photographs of you . kiki : wait , you were talking to him ? franco : yeah . he 's been hanging around elizabeth a lot , and now you . and i just want to make sure that elizabeth and you and every other woman in this town is safe , that they do n't need to worry . but i need your help . so what do you -- what do you say ? kiki : dillon actually challenged me a little bit ago to figure out what my passion is . who am i ? what kind of life do i want to lead ? making the streets of port charles safe for women . i like that . let 's do it . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : hayden 's dying ? monica : and so is dr. finn ? and there 's no cure ? tracy : he has been working desperately to find one . so far , he 's been unsuccessful . elizabeth : i knew they were hiding something . i just did n't know it was this serious . it 's no secret that hayden and i do n't like each other , but i just thought with time we would be able to treat each other like real sisters . i got to get back to work . monica : oh , i guess i owe amy an apology . tracy : oh , really ? why ? monica : i caught her gossiping with other nurses , saying that elizabeth and hayden were sisters , and turns out , they are . tracy : yeah . guess your ex - husband jeff webber was n't quite as saintly as we all thought he was . elizabeth : i really do n't want to leave this message on your voicemail , but it 's an emergency . your daughter needs you . she 's dying . [ scene_break ] finn : so , uh , what do you say ? you ready to try this , uh -- this couples skating ? hayden : no , no , no , no , no . it 's called pair skating , not couples . finn : pair skating , okay . i stand corrected . hayden : yeah , i 'm ready .

[ scene_break ] nathan : [ sighs ] i 'm sorry . i should n't have gone off on nina like that . i blew any chance of us getting any information out of valentin . dante : if it were my sister , i would 've done the same thing . we 'll try another angle , okay ? i think i know someone else we can talk to that might have some answers . [ scene_break ] maxie : why are you not helping me with this ? why are you smiling ? did you find something in there ? lulu : yes , i did . i found a file on baby cassadine . valentin is the father . maxie : [ gasps ] lulu : and claudette was a surrogate . maxie : [ gasps ] oh , my god , that -- that means that your theory is right and you could totally be charlotte 's mom . lulu : [ groans ] if dr. bellamy 's calling the cops , i hope he does it fast . maxie : whoa ! you might be into getting arrested , but i - i 'm not . lulu : maxie , think about this . dante , nathan , they 're cops . they can smooth this over . dr. bellamy will never even find out who i am .

[ ringing continues ] nina : so , thank you for a lovely evening . valentin : thank you . see you soon . [ ringing continues ] valentin : dr. bellamy ? why am i hearing from you ? dr. bellamy : i have two female intruders locked in my exam room . they were here hunting for information on claudette and charlotte . what am i supposed to do with them ? valentin : well , that depends . how much do they actually know ? [ next_on ] jason ( to curtis ) : that information better be good . ava ( to julian ) : what the hell is going on ? griffin ( to alexis ) : how can you be willing to help julian jerome in his recovery ? maxie ( to lulu ) : oh , my god . we 're really stuck in here ! valentin ( to dr. bellamy ) : i guess i 'm gon na have to clean this up sooner than i thought . dante ( to nathan ) : something 's wrong , man . nelle ( to sonny ) : you ca n't make me go . | dante & nathan go to wyndemere to try to get information from valentin about claudette . nathan gets upset when he realizes that nina has spent the night with valentin . nina once again states that she 's an adult and can sleep with whomever she likes . when nathan points out that valentin killed nikolas , nina does n't believe ava while valentin claims it was self - defense . after finding her clothes , nina leaves to go to work just as valentin receives a call from dr. bellamy about maxie & lulu being held captive in his office for seeking information on claudette & charlotte . lulu & maxie rejoice at finding out that claudette was the surrogate , not charlotte 's biological mother . | <s>[INST] elizabeth : okay , boys . mom needs a break . you 're wearing me out . cameron , grab aiden 's hand ! good job ! franco : here , these are for you . okay , listen . even if you think i 'm a monster , you should at least be safe , right ? so just take them , please ? elizabeth : [ sighs ] franco : they 're protection , for if you run into tom baker again . 'cause that 's going to happen . [ scene_break ] kiki : okay . well , good luck to you , too . i hope you have a really great time finding a nanny for your two sets of twins with that salary that you 're offering . bye . tom : you again ? trouble finding a job ? [ scoffs ] welcome to the club . [ scene_break ] tracy : thank you both for sharing that with me . monica : oh , of course . i hang a wreath on the family crypt every year as a quartermaine tradition . dillon : i always miss grandmother and grandfather more during the holidays . monica : i know . i 'm thinking a lot about aj and alan and emily . [ sighs deeply ] dillon : it must have been hard on you , running into the man who terrorized her . monica : it 's odd , really . i mean , you think when someone is sentenced for a crime , they 're off the streets . they ca n't hurt anybody else . you never think about them being paroled , eventually , and free . dillon : speaking of emily , why is hayden barnes staying in her old room ? finn : tracy ! tracy , why have n't you answered any of my texts ? i ca n't find hayden . have you seen her ? [ scene_break ] valentin : i missed you last night , charlotte . did you have fun at your sleep- over with mrs. evans in town ? the storm did make a lot of noise , yes . but you were safe in the hotel . i 'm sure you had fun . i know the storm made for a fun night for papa . [ scene_break ] nathan : lulu say anything else about charlotte being her kid ? dante : nope , not a word . but i can tell it 's still on her mind . she got up early this morning . said she and maxie were , uh , going to spend the day doing wedding stuff . nathan : yeah , yeah , they 're going to manhattan to get lulu 's maid - of - honor dress . dante : yeah , i think that 's a possibility . nathan : what ? you think that 's why they 're going to the city ? [ scene_break ] maxie : you sure that this is the place ? lulu : yeah , griffin said that this was the ob - gyn on charlotte 's birth certificate -- dr. charles bellamy . charlotte was born in new york . this has to be the place . maxie : i , uh , had no idea it was so low - rent . [ chuckles ] lulu : it makes sense , i guess . this was before valentin had access to all of the cassadine money , and in vitro 's expensive . so maybe this was all he could afford . maxie : ugh . i just ca n't believe claudette yanked nathan and griffin around about both of them being charlotte 's father , and she was n't even the biological mom . she was the surrogate . lulu : if my theory was correct . maxie : [ gasps ] look , look , look , look . they ... they - they still use hard files , so we do not need spinelli to hack anything . lulu : one of those files could tell me if i 'm charlotte 's mom . thank you so much for helping me . and thank you for not talking about our plan with nathan . if you told nathan , nathan would tell dante , and i just do n't want him thinking that i 've become obsessed with this . i know it 's a pretty farfetched idea . maxie : the only way you 're going to find peace is if you know for sure . and you know , while we 're in manhattan , we might as well get your maid - of - honor dress . woman : uh , may i help you ? maxie : uh , hi ! uh , i 'm kayla mchenry . i made an appointment yesterday . ooh ! and i filled out all the online forms , just like i was supposed to . this is my best friend . lulu : i ... wanted to be the first to hear the good news confirmed . [ scene_break ] dante : lulu told me yesterday that she thought it could be true . that somehow her embryo could have survived and that claudette was only the surrogate , not charlotte 's mother . nathan : well , i guess that explains how claudette was able to walk away from charlotte so easily . dante : look , lulu told me she was going to let it go and focus on being a good maid of honor . but it just seemed too easy for me , and i do n't think she 's going to let it go . so i want to do some investigating before i get her hopes up . nathan : where do we start ? dante : okay , well , before you got here , i talked to the canadian authorities to see if they had any leads on claudette . they had n't . so sign of her . passport has n't been used . her credit cards have n't been used . they said if they do n't see any signs of life for the next few weeks , they will officially declare claudette dead . [ scene_break ] [ glass dings ] nina : i do n't know which one i like more , waking up with you this morning or waking up with you when you were a mysterious stranger . valentin : i vote this morning . nina : why ? valentin : 'cause you know who i am . and you 're still here . nina : i was stranded by the storm . but i mean , being with you again , on some level , i have to trust you , or i would n't have done that , right ? and you 're no longer a stranger . you 're real . and it makes what is happening between us more serious . valentin : that 's exactly what i want . do n't you ? [ scene_break ] tracy : i spoke to her yesterday , but briefly . finn : i really need to find her . dillon : yo , i really got to take off . but if i see hayden , i will tell her to call you . finn : thank you . monica : yes , and i have to go back to work . i 'll see you . finn : when you ... when you saw hayden , how 'd she look ? tracy : uh , let 's see . she looked a little pale , but fine . why ? finn : [ sighs ] because i have n't been able to reach her since i gave her her diagnosis . and you know hayden . when she gets scared , she runs . tracy : well , i ca n't really fault her on that . i 'm a big believer in denial myself . finn : i understand . but this could have serious implication for hayden . my fear is , she is out there . she 's alone . she 's more sick than she 's ever been . and it 's only about to get worse . [ scene_break ] franco : hey , jake ! jake , good job ! jake ! yeah , never mind . he 's really good . like a regular brian boitano out there . but that 's not ... elizabeth : no . try sidney crosby . hockey player . plays for the pittsburgh penguins . jake 's a huge fan . franco : i 'm getting a lot wrong lately . [ sighs ] elizabeth : franco , you need to know that i never called you a monster . franco : no , stalker . monster , stalker . i mean , really , what 's the difference , right ? elizabeth : i only said that because you were hounding tom baker at the hospital . you escalated the situation . franco : i was protecting you . elizabeth : well , monica made sure that he 'll never work there again , so ... franco : you think that 's going to stop him ? he 's a predator . he 's dangerous . elizabeth : [ sighs ] franco : none of this is going to stop until ... elizabeth : until what , franco ? until you kill him ?

julian : well , there 's something i wanted to ask the both of you , and i thought i should do it in person since you 'd be less likely to say no . sam : [ chuckles ] to what ? julian : well , i 'm putting together a little dinner , and i -- well , it 's actually more of a celebration , but with food , and i was hoping that you two could attend . lucas : i 'm wide open . sam : yeah , i 'm -- i 'm in . julian : really ? sam : well , i mean , i 've got to find a babysitter for danny , but that should n't be a problem . julian : okay . great . oh , and i , uh , left a message for your mom , so i 'm hoping she will attend . sam : [ chuckles ] i 'm sure that wo n't be a problem , either . so , uh , what exactly is it that we 're celebrating ? alexis : you came all the way over here to kill me ? any particular reason ? julian : perhaps i did n't make myself clear . i 'm walking away ... from this life and from you ... right now . luke : have you lost your mind ? you think that 's how it works ? you say , `` i 'm quitting , `` and you just walk away ? i pat you on the back , wish you luck , write you a reference ? have you forgotten what happens to deserters , julian ? turn your clock back a couple of months when morgan corinthos wanted to walk away . what did you tell him were gon na be the consequences ? you think those consequences do n't apply to you ? alexis : well , luke , if i 'm gon na die , should n't i at least know why ? sonny : i got to tell you , i was surprised when shawn balked at what 's going down tonight . look , i 'm not happy about going to the cops . sharing our information is not my thing . but jerome changed the rules when he ratted on us . he 's got to go ! he 's got to go . look , once shawn accepts that , then i think it 's gon na be better for everybody . duke : i think he accepts it , but , uh , at the very least , he understands it . sonny : but that 's not what was happening earlier . duke : i think shawn was using his argument as a smokescreen . sonny : what do you mean ? for what ? duke : his real concern about tonight . it 's tj 's mother . jordan : okay , shawn . you caught me . i 'm exactly what you thought i would be from the time i started working here . a dealer of art . that 's right . when i was on the phone just now when you barged in , i was with a client . shawn : i did n't barge in anywhere . door was open . this gallery is a public place . jordan : yeah , yeah , it is a gallery . i 'm so glad that you finally acknowledge that . but i get the sense that you 're -- you 're not here to buy art . so , aside from harassing me about drugs yet again , what do you want ? luke : you committed a mortal faux pas last night . you did n't congratulate me on my marriage . alexis : ohh . i 'm sorry . i did n't get the chance . but i did n't know that my well wishes meant so much to you . luke : of course they do . alexis : okay . so i give you a hug right here in the living room ? will that do ? because you know i 'm so happy for you . okay . i know you did n't come over here to get my blessings . why are you here ? luke : you read me like a stop sign . alexis : so ... ? luke : i 'm here because of julian jerome . julian : come here , big guy ! sam : go to grandpa . wait a minute . that was a dodge , right ? lucas : that was more like a blatant ignore . sam : hello ! julian : hmm ? sam : what 's the big occasion ? julian : got some news . sam : he 's got news . lucas : yeah . julian : which i 'll be sharing tonight . lucas : very mysterious . sam : so you 're really not gon na tell us ? julian : all right . fine . i 'll tell you . when you come to the gallery around 8 : 00 . sam : all right . lucas : sounds like a plan . sam : yeah , i 'll be there . julian : [ clears throat ] it 's actually gon na be our first family dinner . first of many , i hope . oh , and i 'd really like you to bring silas . you , too , please . feel free to bring a date . everybody gets a `` plus one . `` lucas : o - okay . sure . thanks . julian : all right , well , uh , i guess i 'll see you guys later . sam : okay . julian : look forward to it . sam : awesome . that was interesting . lucas : yeah . understatement of the year . sam : what do you think he was talking about ? lucas : i do n't -- oh . oh , maybe he and your mom have an announcement to make . sam : no , no , do n't even go there . lucas : [ laughing ] no ? sam : no , come on . they first started dating like a couple months ago . that 's ridiculous . lucas : fine . oh , hey , i got it . maybe it 's another jerome kid . another sibling crawling out of the woodwork . sam : what ? are you itching for another sister ? lucas : absolutely . no , i think i got my hands full with you and carly . sam : yes . but you know what i did notice ? it seems like julian 's finally , like , you know , coming around with you . lucas : i know , right ? you heard that , too ? sam : yeah , he told you to bring a date . lucas : i know . without even tripping over the words . sam : i would say that that is definite progress . lucas : yeah . i just wish i could take him up on it . sam : no more brad , huh ? lucas : [ sighs ] after he turned out to be a liar who kept my cousin from her child , not so much . sam : i 'm so sorry . what are you doing , buddy ? lucas : oh , well . i guess i 'll just be a fifth wheel tonight . sam : no , you are not a fifth wheel . you 're family . it 's different . lucas : okay . i just wish there was somebody i could bring . sam : well , come on . brad is not the only prospect . there 's got to be somebody else you can invite . felix : okay , dr. mcmeany . out with it . silas : wait a minute . drake gets `` dreamboat , `` and i get `` mcmeany `` ? felix : it was between that and mcsullen . silas : mcsullen . hands down . felix : okay , fine . we 've established your nickname . now , who 's `` me `` ? silas : you really have to ask ? felix : yes . silas : sam . it 's got to be . felix : sam misses you ? silas : well , do n't sound so surprised . felix : no , it 's just that -- [ sighs ] you were with her last night . i know because she was doing that shakira thing all up in your grille . silas : yeah , she 's something else , is n't she ? felix : they all were . but did n't you go home with sam last night ? silas : forgetting i was in here at the crack of dawn . we have n't seen each other in almost ... 10 hours ? felix : that 's the sweetest thing i think i 've ever heard . you 're a lucky man , dr. clay , having that kind of romance in your life . silas : you do n't have to tell me , felix . felix : so , you still want me to move those out of the way ? silas : no . tell you what . you can put them front and center . tell anyone that asks they 're mine . let people around here know at least one person likes me . felix : roger that . alexis : i was n't aware that you and julian even knew each other . luke : jerome 's notorious . alexis : so are you . i 'm just not sure what you can tell me about him that i do n't already know . luke : is it serious between you two ? alexis : [ laughs ] i do n't know -- luke : because at the prince 's engagement party , you were keeping a pretty low profile , but last night , you walked the red carpet arm - in - arm . alexis : we were trying to be discreet . luke : and now ? alexis : and now i 've just thrown caution to the wind . luke : uh - huh . so you are serious . alexis : i -- no ! luke ! okay , we 're going steady . why do you care ? luke : because i 've known you a long time . alexis : okay . you do n't have to say how long . luke : and i care about you . alexis : i care about you , too . luke : and now that i 'm living the good life with tracy , i want everyone that i care about to be as happy as i am . alexis : oh . sweet . you do n't think i 'll be happy with julian ? luke : well , it 's a well - known fact that he 's in a war with corinthos . word on the street is that battle is escalating . i would hate to see you get caught in the crossfire . sonny : shawn mentioned that tj 's mother moved to town . duke : but did he also mention who 's signing her paycheck ? sonny : she -- well , she got a job at ava 's gallery as a manager or something . duke : `` or something . `` sonny : are you telling me that the job 's not legit ? duke : i ca n't be certain , but when i mentioned to shawn a couple weeks ago that the jeromes had moved in to a different kind of product , shawn got very nervous and upset . sonny : how does this connect to tj 's mother ? duke : it seems that jordan ashford has a history of drug trafficking . jordan : just spit it out , shawn . i have deals to make . shawn : just take a breath . jordan : i do n't have time . shawn : make time . this is serious . i need to talk to you . jordan : have n't we talked about it enough ? i mean , really , how many times are you gon na accuse me of being in the drug trade ? shawn : jordan , this is n't what you think -- jordan : no , i heard you , shawn , and so has tj , by the way . shawn : hey , look , i have never said anything to that kid . jordan : yeah , not directly . but you 're constantly taking shots at me in front of him , undermining me to my own son . i 've had it , okay ? do you understand ? of course you do n't . of course you do n't , because i 've asked you repeatedly to stop and drop it . shawn : asking ? try threatening me . swore to tell tj the truth about how his father died . jordan : no , no , no . you forced me into threatening because you were gon na tell him about my past . i was n't gon na let you do that . i was n't gon na let you hurt tj . shawn : i do n't want to hurt tj i want to protect him . that 's why i 'm here . look , jordan , i came to warn you . silas : hello ? sam : ooh . hey ! silas : hi . sam : hey , is everything okay ? silas : everything 's great . sam : i just -- i was n't expecting you for a while . silas : i decided to cut out early . where 's danny ? sam : i just put him down . silas : ah . late nap ? sam : actually , we had some visitors today . how come you left work ? silas : 'cause you missed me ? sam : oh , really ? silas : mm - hmm . really . sam : really ? what ? is the yearning for me just rolling off in waves ? you know what ? silas : what ? sam : i did miss you . silas : mm . i know . sam : [ chuckles ] how do you know ? we have n't even spoke today . silas : well , the flowers kind of said it all . sam : what ? silas : [ chuckles ] that 's how you want to play it ? the , um ... thank you . the flowers you sent me at the hospital -- they were beautiful . i mean , not as beautiful as you , but ... sam : silas . silas : yeah ? sam : [ clears throat ] i did n't send you any flowers . silas : you did n't send me flowers ? sam : as much as i would like to take credit for it , i 'm not really the flower sending type of gal . silas : i know . i did n't think you were , but then i kind of assumed because of the card that ... sam : the card ? wow . someone actually signed my name ? silas : no , no , but ... it seemed close . sam : `` i miss you . love , me . `` [ chuckles ] silas , who sent you these ? lucas : stopping to smell the roses ? felix : gloriosa lily . lucas : ah . of course . so , you 're not only a great nurse and a great dancer , but you also got the knowledge with the flowers going on . felix : mnh , mnh , mnh , mnh , mnh , mnh . do n't even . lucas : what ? felix : try to butter me up . lucas : i 'm just stating facts . felix : forget the facts . i want answers to questions like , `` what exactly were you doing last night at the ball ? `` lucas : [ chuckles ] you mean dancing and playing the drums and stripping and having a good time ? felix : do you call lying having a good time ? you told brad that we were dating . why ? lucas : he grabbed me and kissed me . what was i supposed to do ? felix : not that . lucas : well , i did n't want to go through another whole scene of him trying to explain himself again , and so i just thought the best way to nip it in the bud was to tell him i 'd moved on . felix : with me ? lucas : i probably should have run it by you first . i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to put you on the spot , and -- and i should not have used you like that . felix : thank you . lucas : do you forgive me ? felix : hmm , i guess . it 's not the end of the world or anything . lucas : good . so , now that that 's settled , will you go out with me tonight ? sonny : shawn thinks this woman -- what 's her name ? duke : jordan . sonny : he thinks jordan is using her management position as a front and she 's really running drugs for jerome ? duke : well , shawn does n't know for a fact . sonny : did he confront her ? duke : multiple times , but she continues to deny it . sonny : okay , not well , apparently . now he 's afraid that if she 's involved , she 's gon na -- she 's gon na go down tonight , right ? duke : yes . sonny : so , tell me something . is -- is shawn and jordan ... you know what i mean ? duke : are they involved ? sonny : yeah . duke : no . i do n't think so . i think shawn 's primary concern is for tj 's welfare . i mean , tj has no idea about his mother 's history , shall we say . shawn does n't want the boy to get hurt . he has lost one parent , after all . sonny : well , now it makes sense why shawn did n't want , you know , want us teaming up with police . duke : well , i 'm worried , sonny . last time i saw shawn , he was pretty nervous . sonny : enough to put a wrench in tonight 's operation ? duke : i think he 's gon na warn jordan about the bust . jordan : oh , oh , so you 're trying to warn me . is that , like , some kind of threat ? shawn : no , i 'm not gon na do anything to you . jordan : then what do you want ? what is going on ? shawn : if you 'd let me talk for a second , i 'd tell you . jordan : fine . talk . shawn : look , jordan , something is about to go down , and i need you to -- julian : get the hell out of here , butler . shawn : easy . i did n't come here for you . i came to talk to jordan . can we go somewhere private ? jordan : shawn , i 'm working . shawn : all i 'm asking you is to talk to me . jordan : not in front of my boss , shawn . julian : well , unless you 'd like me to hear . go ahead . i 'm all ears . duke : well , with all due respect , shawn , i do n't work for you . you and i do n't answer to each other . we both work for sonny . if you tip jordan off , you 're going against the boss 's wishes . we both know what happens to anyone who crosses sonny . shawn : being loyal to this guy 's a huge mistake . it 's not too late to get out . jordan : that 's enough . julian : yeah , i think what the lady 's trying to say is she wants you to leave . shawn : do n't say i did n't try . julian : so , what was all that about ? jordan : i have no idea . alexis : that 's very sweet of you to worry about me . to be perfectly honest , i 've been worried , which is why i 've resisted . luke : but ? alexis : well , and now that you brought it up , we actually discussed it this morning . i asked julian if he would consider quitting the business . luke : what would he do ? alexis : he owns a media conglomerate . luke : and did he agree ? you can be very persuasive . alexis : he 's weighing the options . but he has a lot to live for now that he 's found his -- his kids . luke : and you . i hope he does consider this very carefully for your sake and for his offspring . because , you know , once you 're in that life , it 's difficult to walk away clean unless you 're the boss . and julian is n't . alexis : how do you know that ? luke : sonny told me . he let it slip out that julian answers to someone above him . my money 's on ric lansing . alexis : yeah , that 's what i thought , too , but it 's not him . he swore to it . luke : you believe him ? alexis : he swore on our daughter 's life . luke : and he 's never lied to you before ? did n't he sleep with sam while you were married ? alexis : all right . thanks for bringing that up . luke : all right . it 's just , uh ... whoever is wrangling julian is not gon na let him go without a fight . or worse , without retaliation . does n't that bother you ? alexis : yes , it does bother me immensely . but i trust julian , and i know that if he walks away from his boss , he will do it by diffusing any threats . luke : so , you know that , do you ? well , that 's typical . what does a guy have to do to get a drink around here ? i mean , i 'm still in party mode from last night . alexis : all right . so we 'll celebrate your nuptials . luke : great . alexis : you still drinking a shirley temple ? luke : yeah . sure . as long as it burns . [ footsteps approach ] alexis : i usually do n't hit the hard stuff this early in the morning , but for you , my friend , anything . luke : thank you . [ knock on door ] alexis : oh . hold that thought . hey , tj . tj : hey , miss davis . is molly home ? sam : you really do n't know who sent you flowers today ? silas : let 's see . it was n't you . sam : no . silas : and it was n't felix . sam : mnh - mnh . silas : so no , i have no idea . sam : well , whoever it was misses you and apparently loves you , too . silas : well , you know , when you put it that way , the possibilities are endless . sam : [ chuckles ] ava ! ava ! come on . she 's made it crystal clear that she 's not over you 20 years later . 20 years ! silas : little bit of jealousy . sam : i am not jealous . okay , maybe i 'm just -- maybe i 'm a little bit jealous . silas : of what ? sam : i do n't know . the endless possibilities . silas : all that ends right here . the only one i want is you . sam : mmm . silas : but you know that already . felix : you 're asking me out ? lucas : yes . felix : why ? lucas : why not ? felix : does this have anything to do with brad ? lucas : no , this has to do with my father . felix : okay , i do n't know what sounds weirder . lucas : okay , my dad called an impromptu family gathering , and he asked me to invite a date , which , if you knew my father , you would know is a very , very big deal . felix : and you want to bring me ? lucas : well , i would ask magic milo , but he bats for the other team . felix : hmm . lucas : come on . it 's gon na be at my aunt 's art gallery . the food 's probably gon na be amazing . felix : i do n't know . lucas : well , my dad has a big secret he 's gon na tell us all . felix : really ? lucas : yeah . hand to god . that 's why he 's calling us all together . felix : secret about what ? lucas : i have no idea . he would n't even give us a hint . but it 's gon na be fun , maybe even dramatic . felix : hmm . i do love drama . lucas : please ? give me a chance to make up for last night by actually taking you out on a real date . what do you say ? sonny : you saying that shawn would go against me , tip off somebody that was working for jerome ? duke : for tj 's sake , i think anything 's possible . imagine if it was michael or morgan or kristina . tj is shawn 's top priority . sonny : well , i understand that , but everyone 's at risk if jerome stays in control . duke : well , that 's precisely the point i tried to make . i told shawn it would be a terrible mistake if he blew this plan sky high . sonny : he did n't listen ? duke : oh , he listened , all right . but as for what he 's gon na do , well , there are no guarantees . [ knock on door ] sonny : come on in . we were just talking about you . shawn : is that right ? sonny : i really wish you would have told me about tj 's mom . jordan : shawn knows that i did some time for trafficking , and he never misses an opportunity to remind me , either . julian : so i take it , uh , shawn 's not a fan of you working here . jordan : no . no . but it 's okay , you know . i 've covered my bases . denied having anything to do with your business . as far as shawn can prove , i 'm just a gallery manager . julian : well , as far as he can prove , sure . but he still suspects . jordan : let him . shawn has nothing on me . no one does . julian : you 're positive ? jordan : yes . nothing 's gon na get in the way of the goods coming in tonight . oh , and speaking of , are you ready ? 'cause we should get to the pier . julian : well , you do what you have to do . i 'm not coming . jordan : oh , so i 'll just meet you over at the warehouse , then . julian : no . means i 'm not part of this deal at all . jordan : since when ? julian : couple hours ago . jordan : but you did all the leg work . you made all the connections . i mean , this is your baby . julian : not anymore . i 'm done . i told our boss i quit . alexis : molly 's at a study group . tj : duh . it 's thursday . i totally forgot . i guess i 'm just a little distracted . alexis : oh . by what ? tj : about my new car . [ chuckles ] alexis : you got a new car ? tj : yeah , my mom surprised me with it this morning . i 've been dying to show molly . alexis : wow . that is quite a gift . tj : tell me about it . alexis : she 'll be back . do you want to come in and wait ? tj : uh , i do n't want to be in the way . alexis : oh , do n't be silly . i want to see your car . shawn : what 'd you tell him ? sonny : something you should have done . there 's no need to come down on duke . he was in a tough position . he had to make a choice . duke : apologies if i made a wrong choice . shawn : i was n't trying to keep things from you , okay ? i was just hoping to handle it myself . sonny : and did you ? shawn : i tried , but no matter what i said , jordan would n't back down . sonny : so you talked to her ? shawn : i did n't tip her off about tonight . sonny : but duke says that -- that you -- you were conflicted . shawn : [ chuckles ] okay , full disclosure . yeah , i went to jordan 's office with the full intention of letting her in on the plan . sonny : and what stopped you ? shawn : duke . what he said hit home , you know , that the most important thing right now is to take jerome down , even if it means jordan taking a tumble with him . jordan : boss ? what boss ? i thought that i worked for you . julian : and i , in turn , work for someone else . but no more . i quit . severed all ties . jordan : just like that ? julian : just like that . jordan : huh . uh , why ? julian : [ sighs ] alexis , the woman you met last night . jordan : your girlfriend ? julian : she made me take stock in my life , rethink my priorities . suddenly it all made sense . jordan : what did ? julian : that i need to get out from this underworld before i get arrested or killed . jordan : you make it sound so easy . julian : yeah , well , it was n't , but i made a choice , and i 'm committed to doing it for my family , for the people i love . tj : oh , man , i 'm sorry . i did n't know you had company . alexis : that 's not company . that 's luke spencer . tj : you got married at the ball last night . congratulations , sir . alexis : luke , this is molly 's boyfriend tj ashford . luke : hello , tj ashford . alexis : so , i 'm gon na go text -- see if she texted me . [ cell phone chimes ] alexis : she usually does on her way ho -- speak of the devil . tj : molly ? alexis : no . julian . i need to go see what he wants . you two get to know each other . luke : so , mr. ashford , can i offer you a drink ? jordan : so , you 're done . good for you . but where does that leave me ? julian : meaning ? [ cell phone rings ] jordan : meaning who do i answer to if you 're not in charge ? julian : oh , will you excuse me a minute ? hey , there . alexis : hi . i just missed your call . no , i did not listen to the message . you know i 'm too impatient for that . what 's up ? julian : well , it 's about a dinner i 'm having tonight . silas : for the record , i just want to establish , flowers or no flowers , you still missed me . sam : mmm , no . i think you missed me . the question is , how much ? silas : i did miss you . let me show you how much . sam : okay . wait a minute . hold on . silas : or not . sam : i think we have to probably get cleaned up and put on some nice clothes . silas : why ? why ? i 'm just gon na end up taking them off . sam : mnh - mnh . you ca n't do that in front of my family . silas : what ? sam : yeah , my family . my father came over today and invited us to dinner . me , you , my mother , and my brother . silas : well , you know , have -- have a fun time . sam : silas , come on . this is really important to me . you 're coming with me . silas : no , you know what ? i think i 'm pretty -- pretty comfy right here . this is nice . sam : no , it 's actually important to julian . he said that he has some big news . silas : what big news ? sam : i do n't know . big enough to plan a celebration around . silas : tell me what it is and then i do n't have to go . sam : i do n't know what it is . that 's why we have to go . silas : [ sighs ] so it 's a mystery . sam : mystery . yeah , you know , it seems like there 's a lot of that going around today . luke : so , are you joining me or not , mr. ashford ? tj : uh , i 'm all set , but thanks . luke : all right . suit yourself . so your mother bought you a car . tj : pretty awesome , right ? luke : she 's very beautiful . tj : the car ? luke : your mother . do n't you agree ? tj : uh , i would n't really know 'cause , uh , she 's my mother , but , uh ... yeah . luke : she sold me a painting for my new bride recently . well , here 's to me . first day of the rest of my life . alexis : hmm . i see you got started without me . luke : catch up . alexis : sorry . i ca n't . i have to get ready . uh , that was julian . he invited sam , me , and lucas to dinner at the gallery . luke : very festive . what 's the occasion ? alexis : i do n't know . he would n't tell me . let 's hope it 's good news , you know , about what we were talking about before . luke : yeah . from your lips , alexis . i want you to be as happy as tracy and i are . till death do you part . lucas : [ whistles ] [ sniffs ] for you . [ laughs ] now you basically have to say yes . felix : i do n't think this is a good idea . lucas : no , it 's a great idea . felix : we both dated brad . lucas : yeah , we both ditched brad . felix : okay , he flipped out when he saw us the other night , and not just on the red carpet . lucas : yeah , but taking our clothes off together ? felix : yeah ! he 's gon na lose his mind when he finds out you invited me to the family gathering . lucas : forget brad , okay ? let 's just go , eat , and have a good time . felix : is this a rebound thing ? lucas : [ chuckles ] no . this is a dinner thing . there 's no expectations , no complications . just say yes . felix : [ chuckles ] all right . it 's a date . lucas : all right . you wo n't be sorry . sam : come on , hot stuff . let 's get ready . silas : you know , i was thinking ... sam : oh . really ? silas : i - i really should n't go to dinner tonight . sam : oh , no ? silas : no . i should use my time to get to the bottom of who sent those flowers . sam : ah . that 's a nice try . silas : no dice ? sam : no dice . you know , you really never had the option of coming or not . you were always coming with me . silas : yeah , i know . sam : come on . let 's go ! [ laughing ] let 's go . silas : i got an idea . how about we , um , how about we do a little bit of what we were doing before , and then we go ? sam : that sounds like a really fun idea , but i bet we can do that in the shower . we 'll save some water .

duke : no . actually , it 's about shawn . jordan : everything is still set for tonight . no , i will call you when we 're ready for the next step . okay . shawn : hope you did n't end that call on my account . jordan : well , no , considering i did n't even know that you were here . shawn : good . i hate to interfere with your drug dealing . jordan : [ sighs ] [ gun clicks ] [ knock on door ] alexis : hmm . luke : natasha . alexis : hello , stranger . come on in here ! get in here ! luke : thanks . alexis : i thought you would be on your exotic honeymoon . i 'm shocked tracy let you out of her sight . luke : yeah , well , she was loath to let me go , but i told her that i had to see you . alexis : why is that ? luke : so i could kill you . silas : felix , that was very thoughtful of you , but really , you should n't have . felix : oh , i did n't . it was probably one of your patients , and an extremely grateful one at that , with impeccable taste . silas : what are you talking about ? felix : these are n't some hospital gift shop flowers . they 're not even from flowers and cents . these puppies are high - end . silas : okay . all right . well , then put them someone where everyone can enjoy them and let me finish up here . felix : what 's wrong with you ? are n't you gon na read the card ? silas : mnh - mnh . felix : how will you send a proper thank - you note ? silas : look , you want to know who sent them so badly , you open the card . felix : thought you 'd never ask . huh . this is kind of weird . silas : what is it ? felix : hmm . silas : felix , wake up ! who sent the flowers ? felix : [ sighs ] `` me . `` silas : you just said you did n't send them . felix : not `` me `` me . that 's what the card says . `` i miss you . love , me . `` who 's `` me `` ? julian : i 'm glad you 're both here , actually , and not just because i love the idea of you two spending time together , but because you saved me a trip . i was coming to find you next . lucas : what 's going on ? julian : well , there 's something i wanted to ask the both of you , and i thought i should do it in person since you 'd be less likely to say no . sam : [ chuckles ] to what ? julian : well , i 'm putting together a little dinner , and i -- well , it 's actually more of a celebration , but with food , and i was hoping that you two could attend . lucas : i 'm wide open . sam : yeah , i 'm -- i 'm in . julian : really ? sam : well , i mean , i 've got to find a babysitter for danny , but that should n't be a problem . julian : okay . great . oh , and i , uh , left a message for your mom , so i 'm hoping she will attend . sam : [ chuckles ] i 'm sure that wo n't be a problem , either . so , uh , what exactly is it that we 're celebrating ? alexis : you came all the way over here to kill me ? any particular reason ? julian : perhaps i did n't make myself clear . i 'm walking away ... from this life and from you ... right now . luke : have you lost your mind ? you think that 's how it works ? you say , `` i 'm quitting , `` and you just walk away ? i pat you on the back , wish you luck , write you a reference ? have you forgotten what happens to deserters , julian ? turn your clock back a couple of months when morgan corinthos wanted to walk away . what did you tell him were gon na be the consequences ? you think those consequences do n't apply to you ? alexis : well , luke , if i 'm gon na die , should n't i at least know why ? sonny : i got to tell you , i was surprised when shawn balked at what 's going down tonight . look , i 'm not happy about going to the cops . sharing our information is not my thing . but jerome changed the rules when he ratted on us . he 's got to go ! he 's got to go . look , once shawn accepts that , then i think it 's gon na be better for everybody . duke : i think he accepts it , but , uh , at the very least , he understands it . sonny : but that 's not what was happening earlier . duke : i think shawn was using his argument as a smokescreen . sonny : what do you mean ? for what ? duke : his real concern about tonight . it 's tj 's mother . jordan : okay , shawn . you caught me . i 'm exactly what you thought i would be from the time i started working here . a dealer of art . that 's right . when i was on the phone just now when you barged in , i was with a client . shawn : i did n't barge in anywhere . door was open . this gallery is a public place . jordan : yeah , yeah , it is a gallery . i 'm so glad that you finally acknowledge that . but i get the sense that you 're -- you 're not here to buy art . so , aside from harassing me about drugs yet again , what do you want ? luke : you committed a mortal faux pas last night . you did n't congratulate me on my marriage . alexis : ohh . i 'm sorry . i did n't get the chance . but i did n't know that my well wishes meant so much to you . luke : of course they do . alexis : okay . so i give you a hug right here in the living room ? will that do ? because you know i 'm so happy for you . okay . i know you did n't come over here to get my blessings . why are you here ? luke : you read me like a stop sign . alexis : so ... ? luke : i 'm here because of julian jerome . julian : come here , big guy ! sam : go to grandpa . wait a minute . that was a dodge , right ? lucas : that was more like a blatant ignore . sam : hello ! julian : hmm ? sam : what 's the big occasion ? julian : got some news . sam : he 's got news . lucas : yeah . julian : which i 'll be sharing tonight . lucas : very mysterious . sam : so you 're really not gon na tell us ? julian : all right . fine . i 'll tell you . when you come to the gallery around 8 : 00 . sam : all right . lucas : sounds like a plan . sam : yeah , i 'll be there . julian : [ clears throat ] it 's actually gon na be our first family dinner . first of many , i hope . oh , and i 'd really like you to bring silas . you , too , please . feel free to bring a date . everybody gets a `` plus one . `` lucas : o - okay . sure . thanks . julian : all right , well , uh , i guess i 'll see you guys later . sam : okay . julian : look forward to it . sam : awesome . that was interesting . lucas : yeah . understatement of the year . sam : what do you think he was talking about ? lucas : i do n't -- oh . oh , maybe he and your mom have an announcement to make . sam : no , no , do n't even go there . lucas : [ laughing ] no ? sam : no , come on . they first started dating like a couple months ago . that 's ridiculous . lucas : fine . oh , hey , i got it . maybe it 's another jerome kid . another sibling crawling out of the woodwork . sam : what ? are you itching for another sister ? lucas : absolutely . no , i think i got my hands full with you and carly . sam : yes . but you know what i did notice ? it seems like julian 's finally , like , you know , coming around with you . lucas : i know , right ? you heard that , too ? sam : yeah , he told you to bring a date . lucas : i know . without even tripping over the words . sam : i would say that that is definite progress . lucas : yeah . i just wish i could take him up on it . sam : no more brad , huh ? lucas : [ sighs ] after he turned out to be a liar who kept my cousin from her child , not so much . sam : i 'm so sorry . what are you doing , buddy ? lucas : oh , well . i guess i 'll just be a fifth wheel tonight . sam : no , you are not a fifth wheel . you 're family . it 's different . lucas : okay . i just wish there was somebody i could bring . sam : well , come on . brad is not the only prospect . there 's got to be somebody else you can invite . felix : okay , dr. mcmeany . out with it . silas : wait a minute . drake gets `` dreamboat , `` and i get `` mcmeany `` ? felix : it was between that and mcsullen . silas : mcsullen . hands down . felix : okay , fine . we 've established your nickname . now , who 's `` me `` ? silas : you really have to ask ? felix : yes . silas : sam . it 's got to be . felix : sam misses you ? silas : well , do n't sound so surprised . felix : no , it 's just that -- [ sighs ] you were with her last night . i know because she was doing that shakira thing all up in your grille . silas : yeah , she 's something else , is n't she ? felix : they all were . but did n't you go home with sam last night ? silas : forgetting i was in here at the crack of dawn . we have n't seen each other in almost ... 10 hours ? felix : that 's the sweetest thing i think i 've ever heard . you 're a lucky man , dr. clay , having that kind of romance in your life . silas : you do n't have to tell me , felix . felix : so , you still want me to move those out of the way ? silas : no . tell you what . you can put them front and center . tell anyone that asks they 're mine . let people around here know at least one person likes me . felix : roger that . alexis : i was n't aware that you and julian even knew each other . luke : jerome 's notorious . alexis : so are you . i 'm just not sure what you can tell me about him that i do n't already know . luke : is it serious between you two ? alexis : [ laughs ] i do n't know -- luke : because at the prince 's engagement party , you were keeping a pretty low profile , but last night , you walked the red carpet arm - in - arm . alexis : we were trying to be discreet . luke : and now ? alexis : and now i 've just thrown caution to the wind . luke : uh - huh . so you are serious . alexis : i -- no ! luke ! okay , we 're going steady . why do you care ? luke : because i 've known you a long time . alexis : okay . you do n't have to say how long . luke : and i care about you . alexis : i care about you , too . luke : and now that i 'm living the good life with tracy , i want everyone that i care about to be as happy as i am . alexis : oh . sweet . you do n't think i 'll be happy with julian ? luke : well , it 's a well - known fact that he 's in a war with corinthos . word on the street is that battle is escalating . i would hate to see you get caught in the crossfire . sonny : shawn mentioned that tj 's mother moved to town . duke : but did he also mention who 's signing her paycheck ? sonny : she -- well , she got a job at ava 's gallery as a manager or something . duke : `` or something . `` sonny : are you telling me that the job 's not legit ? duke : i ca n't be certain , but when i mentioned to shawn a couple weeks ago that the jeromes had moved in to a different kind of product , shawn got very nervous and upset . sonny : how does this connect to tj 's mother ? duke : it seems that jordan ashford has a history of drug trafficking . jordan : just spit it out , shawn . i have deals to make . shawn : just take a breath . jordan : i do n't have time . shawn : make time . this is serious . i need to talk to you . jordan : have n't we talked about it enough ? i mean , really , how many times are you gon na accuse me of being in the drug trade ? shawn : jordan , this is n't what you think -- jordan : no , i heard you , shawn , and so has tj , by the way . shawn : hey , look , i have never said anything to that kid . jordan : yeah , not directly . but you 're constantly taking shots at me in front of him , undermining me to my own son . i 've had it , okay ? do you understand ? of course you do n't . of course you do n't , because i 've asked you repeatedly to stop and drop it . shawn : asking ? try threatening me . swore to tell tj the truth about how his father died . jordan : no , no , no . you forced me into threatening because you were gon na tell him about my past . i was n't gon na let you do that . i was n't gon na let you hurt tj . shawn : i do n't want to hurt tj i want to protect him . that 's why i 'm here . look , jordan , i came to warn you . silas : hello ? sam : ooh . hey ! silas : hi . sam : hey , is everything okay ? silas : everything 's great . sam : i just -- i was n't expecting you for a while . silas : i decided to cut out early . where 's danny ? sam : i just put him down . silas : ah . late nap ? sam : actually , we had some visitors today . how come you left work ? silas : 'cause you missed me ? sam : oh , really ? silas : mm - hmm . really . sam : really ? what ? is the yearning for me just rolling off in waves ? you know what ? silas : what ? sam : i did miss you . silas : mm . i know . sam : [ chuckles ] how do you know ? we have n't even spoke today . silas : well , the flowers kind of said it all . sam : what ? silas : [ chuckles ] that 's how you want to play it ? the , um ... thank you . the flowers you sent me at the hospital -- they were beautiful . i mean , not as beautiful as you , but ... sam : silas . silas : yeah ? sam : [ clears throat ] i did n't send you any flowers . silas : you did n't send me flowers ? sam : as much as i would like to take credit for it , i 'm not really the flower sending type of gal . silas : i know . i did n't think you were , but then i kind of assumed because of the card that ... sam : the card ? wow . someone actually signed my name ? silas : no , no , but ... it seemed close . sam : `` i miss you . love , me . `` [ chuckles ] silas , who sent you these ? lucas : stopping to smell the roses ? felix : gloriosa lily . lucas : ah . of course . so , you 're not only a great nurse and a great dancer , but you also got the knowledge with the flowers going on . felix : mnh , mnh , mnh , mnh , mnh , mnh . do n't even . lucas : what ? felix : try to butter me up . lucas : i 'm just stating facts . felix : forget the facts . i want answers to questions like , `` what exactly were you doing last night at the ball ? `` lucas : [ chuckles ] you mean dancing and playing the drums and stripping and having a good time ? felix : do you call lying having a good time ? you told brad that we were dating . why ? lucas : he grabbed me and kissed me . what was i supposed to do ? felix : not that . lucas : well , i did n't want to go through another whole scene of him trying to explain himself again , and so i just thought the best way to nip it in the bud was to tell him i 'd moved on . felix : with me ? lucas : i probably should have run it by you first . i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to put you on the spot , and -- and i should not have used you like that . felix : thank you . lucas : do you forgive me ? felix : hmm , i guess . it 's not the end of the world or anything . lucas : good . so , now that that 's settled , will you go out with me tonight ? sonny : shawn thinks this woman -- what 's her name ? duke : jordan . sonny : he thinks jordan is using her management position as a front and she 's really running drugs for jerome ? duke : well , shawn does n't know for a fact . sonny : did he confront her ? duke : multiple times , but she continues to deny it . sonny : okay , not well , apparently . now he 's afraid that if she 's involved , she 's gon na -- she 's gon na go down tonight , right ? duke : yes . sonny : so , tell me something . is -- is shawn and jordan ... you know what i mean ? duke : are they involved ? sonny : yeah . duke : no . i do n't think so . i think shawn 's primary concern is for tj 's welfare . i mean , tj has no idea about his mother 's history , shall we say . shawn does n't want the boy to get hurt . he has lost one parent , after all . sonny : well , now it makes sense why shawn did n't want , you know , want us teaming up with police . duke : well , i 'm worried , sonny . last time i saw shawn , he was pretty nervous . sonny : enough to put a wrench in tonight 's operation ? duke : i think he 's gon na warn jordan about the bust . jordan : oh , oh , so you 're trying to warn me . is that , like , some kind of threat ? shawn : no , i 'm not gon na do anything to you . jordan : then what do you want ? what is going on ? shawn : if you 'd let me talk for a second , i 'd tell you . jordan : fine . talk . shawn : look , jordan , something is about to go down , and i need you to -- julian : get the hell out of here , butler . shawn : easy . i did n't come here for you . i came to talk to jordan . can we go somewhere private ? jordan : shawn , i 'm working . shawn : all i 'm asking you is to talk to me . jordan : not in front of my boss , shawn . julian : well , unless you 'd like me to hear . go ahead . i 'm all ears . duke : well , with all due respect , shawn , i do n't work for you . you and i do n't answer to each other . we both work for sonny . if you tip jordan off , you 're going against the boss 's wishes . we both know what happens to anyone who crosses sonny . shawn : being loyal to this guy 's a huge mistake . it 's not too late to get out . jordan : that 's enough . julian : yeah , i think what the lady 's trying to say is she wants you to leave . shawn : do n't say i did n't try . julian : so , what was all that about ? jordan : i have no idea . alexis : that 's very sweet of you to worry about me . to be perfectly honest , i 've been worried , which is why i 've resisted . luke : but ? alexis : well , and now that you brought it up , we actually discussed it this morning . i asked julian if he would consider quitting the business . luke : what would he do ? alexis : he owns a media conglomerate . luke : and did he agree ? you can be very persuasive . alexis : he 's weighing the options . but he has a lot to live for now that he 's found his -- his kids . luke : and you . i hope he does consider this very carefully for your sake and for his offspring . because , you know , once you 're in that life , it 's difficult to walk away clean unless you 're the boss . and julian is n't . alexis : how do you know that ? luke : sonny told me . he let it slip out that julian answers to someone above him . my money 's on ric lansing . alexis : yeah , that 's what i thought , too , but it 's not him . he swore to it . luke : you believe him ? alexis : he swore on our daughter 's life . luke : and he 's never lied to you before ? did n't he sleep with sam while you were married ? alexis : all right . thanks for bringing that up . luke : all right . it 's just , uh ... whoever is wrangling julian is not gon na let him go without a fight . or worse , without retaliation . does n't that bother you ? alexis : yes , it does bother me immensely . but i trust julian , and i know that if he walks away from his boss , he will do it by diffusing any threats . luke : so , you know that , do you ? well , that 's typical . what does a guy have to do to get a drink around here ? i mean , i 'm still in party mode from last night . alexis : all right . so we 'll celebrate your nuptials . luke : great . alexis : you still drinking a shirley temple ? luke : yeah . sure . as long as it burns . [ footsteps approach ] alexis : i usually do n't hit the hard stuff this early in the morning , but for you , my friend , anything . luke : thank you . [ knock on door ] alexis : oh . hold that thought . hey , tj . tj : hey , miss davis . is molly home ? sam : you really do n't know who sent you flowers today ? silas : let 's see . it was n't you . sam : no . silas : and it was n't felix . sam : mnh - mnh . silas : so no , i have no idea . sam : well , whoever it was misses you and apparently loves you , too . silas : well , you know , when you put it that way , the possibilities are endless . sam : [ chuckles ] ava ! ava ! come on . she 's made it crystal clear that she 's not over you 20 years later . 20 years ! silas : little bit of jealousy . sam : i am not jealous . okay , maybe i 'm just -- maybe i 'm a little bit jealous . silas : of what ? sam : i do n't know . the endless possibilities . silas : all that ends right here . the only one i want is you . sam : mmm . silas : but you know that already . felix : you 're asking me out ? lucas : yes . felix : why ? lucas : why not ? felix : does this have anything to do with brad ? lucas : no , this has to do with my father . felix : okay , i do n't know what sounds weirder . lucas : okay , my dad called an impromptu family gathering , and he asked me to invite a date , which , if you knew my father , you would know is a very , very big deal . felix : and you want to bring me ? lucas : well , i would ask magic milo , but he bats for the other team . felix : hmm . lucas : come on . it 's gon na be at my aunt 's art gallery . the food 's probably gon na be amazing . felix : i do n't know . lucas : well , my dad has a big secret he 's gon na tell us all . felix : really ? lucas : yeah . hand to god . that 's why he 's calling us all together . felix : secret about what ? lucas : i have no idea . he would n't even give us a hint . but it 's gon na be fun , maybe even dramatic . felix : hmm . i do love drama . lucas : please ? give me a chance to make up for last night by actually taking you out on a real date . what do you say ? sonny : you saying that shawn would go against me , tip off somebody that was working for jerome ? duke : for tj 's sake , i think anything 's possible . imagine if it was michael or morgan or kristina . tj is shawn 's top priority . sonny : well , i understand that , but everyone 's at risk if jerome stays in control . duke : well , that 's precisely the point i tried to make . i told shawn it would be a terrible mistake if he blew this plan sky high . sonny : he did n't listen ? duke : oh , he listened , all right . but as for what he 's gon na do , well , there are no guarantees .

[ scene_break ] sonny : i 've been making inquiries about the administrator who oversaw josslyn 's transplant . carly : t. adams ? sonny : therese adams . that 's the name she was using at the time . carly : did you find her ? sonny : not yet . she resigned from general hospital a week after josslyn 's procedure . she put her condo up for sale , and she left port charles the day it closed escrow . she closed her bank accounts and just disappeared . carly : sounds like she 's covering her tracks . which is something you 're gon na want to do if you 're involved in a black - market organ sale . sonny : well , she 's probably changed her name , living somewhere , you know , a new identity , the whole thing , and , uh ... now , look . it could take time , but money always leaves a paper trail . i could find her if you want me to . carly : i mean , if i say yes , it opens up a lot of other issues . sonny : well , i know that you were looking for josslyn 's medical history , and you want to protect her . and i love josslyn , too . you know , i 'm 100 % behind you , but this is your call , not mine . carly : and jax . i mean , we should be involved in this . sonny : yeah , yeah , josslyn 's his daughter , but the final decision is yours . if you want to stop this , i 'll stop it . if you want me to move forward , i will . i 'll do everything i can to help you . but just , you got to understand something . you may not like the answers you find .

[ scene_break ] anna : this has been a very long and disappointing day . the man who is responsible for duke 's death is walking around out there , free as a bird , and i have been cut out of the efforts to bring him to justice . and it would be galling enough if hornsby was responsible for doing that , but it 's jordan , my colleague , my friend -- i thought . [ sighs ] you know , it 's not so long ago that our positions were reversed . i was commissioner , and she was an undercover agent , and she botched an assignment and got fired . you know ? and i -- i gave her a job at pcpd . i put my neck on the line for her . and now she 's just -- you know , she 's screwing me over . andré : anna , just stop , please . jordan feels horrible about the way things went down . she respects you very much and still considers you to be a friend . she just thinks you have a blind spot about julian . anna : no , you 're missing the point . i gave her an opportunity to redeem herself , and now she has declined to return the favor . but you know what ? she 's the commissioner , and she was put in a tight spot , and she made a tough call . and that 's her prerogative , and so , you know , there you go . but you were different . you got on the stand for me , and you swore an oath , and you spoke to my commitment and professional ethics , and for which i 'm very grateful . thank you . but then , when it comes for more than just talk , where you actually have to have faith in me and my abilities , you bailed . so , thank you for saving my life when you did . i am eternally grateful . but , andré , you should leave right now . i 'm just gon na unload on you . andré : not until you hear what i have to say . anna : no . andré : after you left , jordan and i got into a fight about you . anna : well , i hope you were n't defending me , because that 's too little too late . andré : she accused me of being attracted to you . the more i denied it , the less she believed me , and the less i believed myself . it 's true , anna . i have feelings for you .

[ scene_break ] carly : i keep going around in circles with this . i mean , i want josslyn 's medical records to be as accurate as possible . and if we know the kidney donor , then we have a better chance at anticipating possible side effects . sonny : yeah . carly : and there 's also a chance for us to find ... some information that 's really ugly . so , in josslyn 's case , maybe ignorance really is bliss . i do n't know , sonny . i do n't know . what should i do ? sonny : [ sighs ] if i was in your place , i think i would try to find the answer . and if it was as bad as i feared , i 'd keep it to myself . i would n't say anything to josslyn . and when she 's old enough to ask why ... i think i would lie to her , you know ? give her something she can live with . carly : i mean , that 's a plan . sonny : i 'm not telling you what to do because there 's no right answer . whatever you want to do , i 'm 100 % behind you . carly : thank you . sonny : i mean , you did the hardest thing imaginable . you went to elizabeth and jason the night they thought they lost their little boy , and you asked them to donate his kidney . you did n't make a deal with the devil . you did n't go to a black market to get a donor . proud of you . you ca n't fight things you ca n't control . you know what i mean ? do n't take on guilt when you do n't deserve it . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : it 's so unsettling . are the unexplained deaths and missing drugs related , or was it just an unfortunate coincidence ? nurse : elizabeth , you 're next . elizabeth : how was it ? nurse : pretty standard , at least for me . felix : why do you say that ? nurse : i 've never worked with dr. finn . he 's all they 're interested in talking about . elizabeth : great . i 've worked a lot with dr. finn . felix : me too . good luck in there . elizabeth : thanks . felix : [ clears throat ] excuse me , dr. finn . finn : mm - hmm . felix : can i speak with you for a moment ? finn : about what ? felix : i 'm about to be interviewed about these missing drugs from the dispensary . if they ask me about you , i 'm gon na have to tell the truth . finn : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] franco : so , about you having faith in me , thank you for that . i have n't been a great friend to you lately . dr. obrecht : is that your idea of an apology ? franco : well , i can go bigger and more flowery , if you need me to . dr. obrecht : i would prefer a more tangible demonstration of your remorse . say ... an artwork . you are painting again , correct ? franco : yes . i am . it 's all kind of coming back to me . dr. obrecht : i would be delighted to see your latest works . franco : well , you say that , but you 'd probably be disappointed . no one else seems to like -- well , one person does , but her taste is questionable . dr. obrecht : i assure you , mine is not . i have a deep appreciation for genius , which i am sure would be reflected in your new paintings . franco : well , if you see anything you like , it 's all yours . dr. obrecht : danke . franco : bitte . you know , half - appreciation , half - apology . dr. obrecht : dr. quartermaine . dr. finn has not checked in for his supervised drug test . monica : i know that . i 've already talked to him . dr. obrecht : we 'll set a date to view your paintings . franco : oh , sure . just let me know when . dr. obrecht : i look forward to it . now , much as i have enjoyed this opportunity to reconnect with you , i 'm afraid i must excuse myself . i have a special duty to attend to . [ scene_break ] anna : you 're attracted to me ? andré : i am . anna : oh , that 's , uh ... unexpected . andré : i never planned on saying it out loud , but ... here i am , so ... i feel a connection with you , anna . i did n't ask for it . in fact , i 've tried to avoid it , but ... the more time i spend with you , the more time i want to spend with you . you 're beautiful and courageous and fiercely intelligent . after a while , i found myself thinking about you more than i should . looking in your eyes a little too long . sometimes i felt like you were looking back . anna : no . i -- i -- i mean , yes . i did n't intend -- andré : neither did i . it was completely unexpected , and it 's not going to do either of us any good . which is why , going forward ... i do n't want anything from you . ever again .

[ scene_break ] sonny : hello , commissioner . jordan : mr. corinthos . sonny : you think maybe you got five minutes before you get back to your incredible party ? [ scene_break ] felix : you asked me to open the drug dispensary for you the other night . you needed a muscle relaxant . finn : if they ask me about it ... you should tell them everything that happened , felix . elizabeth : hey , you 're up next . good luck . hey . finn : hmm . elizabeth : um , fair warning . after a couple preliminary questions , all they want to talk about is you . finn : i 'm sorry about that . but that would seem to be the prevailing theme . excuse me . franco : hey . how 'd it go ? elizabeth : fine , i guess . franco : [ chuckles ] okay , yeah . i mean , of course it went fine for you . right ? they 're probably just getting the rack and the thumbscrews ready for some other poor slob . i 'm the poor slob , right ? that 's what you 're telling me ? elizabeth : oh . [ chuckles ] okay , i see . you 're not asking out of concern for my feelings . you just are worried about yourself ? franco : no , i 'm totally concerned . no , i -- it sucks to be questioned , even if you are totally innocent . and , by the way , i know that you are totally innocent . elizabeth : yeah . franco : i 'm totally innocent , too , just so you know . carly : elizabeth , i have to talk to you . franco : um , we 're in the middle of a private conversation . carly : it 's about jake . [ scene_break ] andré : our history was complicated . we started out in a professional relationship . you were my patient . and then , due to some odd logistics , like winding up at the same thanksgiving day dinner -- anna : okay , you were my therapist , and then we became friends . at least for me , it was a friendship . but for you , it was something ... andré : look , i 'd be lying if i said i did n't have romantic feelings for you . i never intended on acting on them . i -- honestly , i never intended to say them out loud , but they 're real , and they are n't going away . anna : but you 're seeing jordan . andré : which is why i 'm here . i care about jordan deeply . i can see a future with her , as long as i do n't blow it now . anna : because of me . andré : what i tell my patients is , feelings are real . they do exist . you ca n't expect to control them . what you can control are your own actions . anna : okay . i think i understand . you do n't think it 's fair to pursue a relationship with jordan while you have an attraction for me . you have to choose . commit to one and let the other go . andré : yes . yes ! anna : yeah . and you 've already told me that you do n't want anything from me , going forward . andré : i do n't . anna : so , does that mean our friendship is over ? andré : it has to be . we 're done being in each other 's lives . [ scene_break ] sonny : i was -- i was just curious -- how long before julian jerome gets charged with carlos rivera 's murder ? jordan : i 'm sorry . i ca n't comment on an ongoing investigation dante : not to sound like my mother , but maybe that just happens for a reason -- right ? -- and there 's something better out there for us . lulu : yeah . dante : hey . sonny : everything okay ? i 'm sorry to interrupt . dante : yeah , no . no , you did n't . we just -- we got a call from our realtor . we put a bid on a place . we did n't get it . lulu : i know . there will obviously be other houses out there . just we fell in love with this one . a big backyard , plenty of space for a swing set , great school district . dante : it was pretty perfect sounding , but we did what we could . we went over asking , and then someone went over what we did , so ... onto the next , right ? lulu : yeah .

[ cheers and applause ] jordan : being a cop , it 's -- it 's not easy . you have to be courageous , have physicality , loyalty , bravery , and compassion . only those of us in the brother- and sisterhood know how deep our commitment must go , how -- how hard the work is and what we sacrifice every day . so , to each and every one of you , welcome to our ranks . stay strong , be brave , and , uh ... let 's fight for justice . valerie : yeah ! everyone : cheers !

[ cheers and applause ] man : go , valerie ! [ scene_break ] carly : this is an important conversation , elizabeth , and i 'd rather have it without franco 's color commentary . franco : yeah , i work with jake , so i have a vested interest in him . carly : yeah , that 's not what jake 's father seems to think . franco : jake 's father 's out of town , so he does n't get a vote . carly : jake 's father has his memory back , and he remembers every evil , sadistic thing you did to all the people he loves . now , i get that i do n't have a right to talk , because i made the crazy mistake of getting involved with you , but i have every right to tell elizabeth all the crazy things that you could do to her , like telling her how she is the only one that can save you , and she 's gon na be the only one in your life . elizabeth : just go , go . please just go . franco : yeah , you 're probably right . carly : okay , you saw what franco did to me , so proceed with caution , please . elizabeth : i 'm not proceeding with anything . and i know you did n't come here to talk about franco , so what 's going on ? what is this about jake ? carly : okay . well , we all thought that jake 's kidney saved josslyn . obviously , that was n't the truth , so jax and i want to know where the donor kidney came from . elizabeth : yeah , i totally understand . as a mother , i 'm right there with you . i still want to know what happened to jake when he was on that island with helena . carly : okay , well , elizabeth , whatever we find out about the donor kidney , it could be dark and illegal . so my question for you , and i 'll ask jason when he gets back in town is , do you want to know what we find ? or would you rather leave it alone ? [ scene_break ] monica : dr. finn . finn : hmm . monica : if you do n't submit yourself to a drug test , there is no way i can protect you from disciplinary action . finn : the last time i checked , you were the chief of staff . monica : yes , and my authority has oversight , like everyone else . finn : all due respect , dr. quartermaine , there is no way in hell i 'm taking a drug test . [ scene_break ] dr. obrecht : hello ? anyone here ? [ scene_break ] lulu : i know it sounds ridiculous , but i had no idea what an emotional roller coaster it is to buy a house . dante : you just do n't want to start over , you know ? like , your team got to game 7 in the playoffs , and it 's the bottom of the 9th , and you lose on a walk - off . next season , right ? lulu : still sucks to lose . dante : still sucks to lose . sonny : trust me , you 're gon na get your house real soon . lulu : thanks . sonny : all right , i got to go , 'cause i do n't want your boss to get mad that i 'm trying to get information from you . dante : she knows i would n't tell you a damn thing , anyway . see ya . sonny : see ya . [ walks outside ] listen , i got one thing i need you to do for me . [ scene_break ] curtis : you know , uh , that was , um ... that was real cool of miss jordan to , uh , give you a shout . and top 10 % -- you should be proud . so i 'm proud of you . valerie : thanks . you know , i was watching you during jordan 's speech . curtis : yeah ? valerie : you miss it , do n't you . wearing a badge ? curtis : more than you might imagine . jordan : congratulations , rookie .

[ scene_break ] anna : well , i 've been dumped before , but this is a fresh take . andré : i 'm sorry for sounding so harsh . i just needed to put it out there . anna : and do the right thing . andré : yes , exactly . anna : no , but this does n't feel like the right thing , not at all . you know ? ca n't we just be friends but , like , set boundaries and just stick to them ? andré : you are probably strong enough to keep those boundaries . in fact , i 'm sure you are . you seem strong enough for anything . but me ? i ca n't keep going on this way . feeling for jordan and feeling for you -- it is n't fair to anyone . anna : i 'm really gon na miss our friendship , you know . i have valued it a lot . andré : me , too . [ scene_break ] monica : taking the drug test is the easiest way to prove your innocence . and you get a bonus by proving obrecht wrong . why ? why do you refuse to clear your name ? finn : because in this country , you 're innocent until proven guilty , not the other way around . i am not obligated to prove i am not on drugs by peeing in some cup . submitting to that test goes against everything that i believe in . dr. obrecht : dr. quartermaine , i must speak with you immediately . it is of the utmost importance . monica : you have two minutes . dr. obrecht : i wo n't even need that much . monica : come on . dr. finn , i suggest you wait right here . finn : [ breathes deeply ] [ scene_break ] elizabeth : you and i have always had a scratchy relationship . we 've had just as many downs as ups . probably more downs . but thank you . thank you for this advance notice . and , yeah , i would really appreciate knowing whatever you find out about the donor kidney . maybe it 'll shed some light on what happened with jake . carly : okay . i 'll let you know what i find out . elizabeth : good luck . carly : i 'm sorry . um ... franco 's gon na hurt you . he ca n't help himself . be careful . elizabeth : [ sighs ] franco : oh , hey . elizabeth : oh , hey . franco : yeah , that carly , huh ? elizabeth : hmm . franco : what a ray of sunshine . elizabeth : yeah , you 've been eavesdropping this entire time ? franco : yeah , i want to say no to you , but ... i do n't want to lie to you . is n't that interesting ? yeah , i -- i heard everything carly said , and it sounded really ominous and really convincing , but please do n't let her convince you . all right ? carly hates you almost as much as she hates me . she wants us both to be miserable . and , yeah ... she has a point . maybe i deserve to be miserable after the way that i treated her , but you do n't -- you do n't ever deserve to be miserable . can i give you some advice ? elizabeth : about what ? franco : well , tracking down this organ donor . what good can come of that ? elizabeth : answers . sometimes you need to know the truth , no matter how bad , just to get closure . franco : yeah , well , in my experience , truth is overrated . i 've found that , once you open the door to that dark room , it 's hard to get back out . [ scene_break ] finn : hello . carly : hi . finn : hi . carly : oh , gosh . i 'm so glad i ran into you . i have a solid lead on that donor thing , but i ca n't really get into it right now . finn : i can be of service if you need me . carly : thank you . thank you .

[ arianna crying ] lucas : it 's my fault . it 's my fault because i 'm ranting so much . i 'll handle it , okay ? adrienne : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] [ phone rings ] kate : oh , good . press release came in . fantastic . i am so sorry i did n't call first , but i found this fantastic outfit for ... adrienne : you two - faced bitch . [ dramatic music ] [ scene_break ] ben : i have to tell abigail the truth . clyde : why ? ben : because she got really upset when she found out that i even knew a guy like wollensky . clyde : and you want to tell her there 's more ? ben : i 'm starting to think i may want to spend the rest of my life with abigail . if i do n't tell her everything now -- clyde : the minute you tell her , you 'll wish you had n't . i guarantee she 'll wish you had n't . now , look ... we all have to own up to the mistakes that we made in the past . i mean , i think about the man i used to be , i 'm ashamed . but i 'm not that guy anymore . so why should i talk about him to someone who did n't even know me then ? ben : it just seems so dishonest . clyde : has n't your life changed since you came to salem ? have n't you changed ? ben : yeah . clyde : yeah , of course you have . i mean , you got a good job . you 're -- you 're a college man . all abigail knows is the man that you are now , and she likes that guy . why would you want to mess with that ? so what if you made a few stupid mistakes when you were a kid ? why should that cost you the woman you love ? [ dramatic music ] [ scene_break ] stefano : i do n't see why abigail would be having doubts about you . chad : when she heard about what happened to wollensky , it reminded her that ej wanted to do the exact same thing to nick fallon . that he put a hit out on him . stefano : what ? i ca n't believe elvis was so naïve that he would let abigail know about that . chad : i do n't know . maybe i should just ... i do n't know . maybe i should just let her go . stefano : you can not do that ! chad : what difference does it make to you ? stefano : uh ... no , none , no difference . what ?

[ scene_break ] kristen : well , you 're just gon na have to clue me in because i do n't see how you being here under these circumstances can be wonderful . brady : what i 'm trying to say is , we could make this thing work . kristen : you mean , after i spare the lives of the two women that you replaced me with ? brady : that 's what you do n't understand . it 's no one . no one has ever replaced you . i tried , and trust me , i wanted to . it did n't work . and i should 've known that no woman could ever take your place in my heart .

[ sighs ] jj , i 'm so sorry that she was mean to you , and she said all those things , i -- jj : no , look , paige , it 's not about your mom . it 's -- paige : oh , okay , well ... then the only other thing it could be about is what i overheard about what happened to your aunt kayla . is that it ? is that what -- is that what 's upsetting you ? i do n't -- what ? sami : i can see by the look on your face that you 're upset . i mean , i did n't expect you to be jumping for joy or anything , but ... look , eric , i know how you feel -- how everybody feels -- about ej . but it 's important to me that you -- of all people , that you understand . ej hates that he hurt me . he has gone out of his way to make it up to me . and i 've hurt him too . but we 're a family , and ... we have worked through this . our kids are so happy when we 're together . you should have seen them last night . i mean , we -- we had so much fun , all of us , just ... i 'm never gon na be okay with the fact that ej knew what kristen did and did n't say anything . eric : sami -- sami : okay , just hear me out . i -- i want you to know that he is horrified by his sister 's actions against you , and he hates that you were in pain . eric : okay , sami , you know what ? we talked about this a while back . sami : yes , and i remember everything that we said . ej makes me very , very angry , okay ? and i hated that he did n't step forward for you . eric : sami , we both know , even if you hated ej for not stepping forward for me , it was n't what broke you . it was his affair with abigail , and i still do n't understand how you were able to get past that . sami : well , it was n't easy . but it was simple . i forgave him . certainly with your experience , with faith , you can understand that better than anyone , ca n't you ? which leads me to my next question . can you forgive me , being with ej ? ej : nicki , i 've had absolutely nothing to do with my sister since she came back to salem . nicole : oh , please . do not kid a kidder . ej : what she did to eric was deplorable . beyond the pale . nicole : right . except you knew all about it before anyone else did , and you kept it quiet . so maybe you did n't think it was `` beyond the pale `` back then . i do n't know , but maybe -- maybe you were thinking it was actually ingenious . ej : [ laughs ] okay . it was nice seeing you , nicki . nicole : it 's ironic , though , is n't it ? i mean , after all the hell that we put each other through , and -- that was another life . you get back with sami , i fall in love with eric all over again , and yet here we are . you 're not with sami , i 'm not with eric , because neither one of us could keep a houseplant alive , let alone maintain a relationship . ej : oh , uh , i 'm sorry , you have your facts wrong , not that that should be any real great surprise to either one of us , but , um ... samantha and i are actually back together , and we are doing better than we ever have . jordan : no idea what kind of games you 're playing now , kate . kate : well , surely by now you know i do n't play games . and -- and , in truth , it was rafe who introduced me to your father . jordan : stepfather . kate : whatever . whatever . but since clyde 's new to town , i thought i could fill him in on a few things . and , truthfully ? he 's really a charming man . jordan : he 's -- ugh . you do n't even know him . kate : well , i know the two of you did n't get along very well . and i know that he is eager , if not desperate , to make things right between the two of you , to be in harmony with both of his children . nicole : you and sami ... ej : are back together . yeah . and i have to tell you , we are happier than ever . nicole : that is , um ... [ laughs ] not a surprise . uh , quite predictable , actually , because everyone in salem knows that sami ca n't be without a guy for more than five minutes . of course , rafe and lucas would never take her back , because she 's shown them her true lunatic colors , but you seem to be insatiable for lunacy , women who walk all over you . so naturally , sami had to settle for you . but it 's sad , really , that you have such low standards . you 're a good - looking guy . okay , you lack a conscience and a soul , but you 're quite witty , cute smile , decent body . ej : do you know what i think 's sad ? nicole : hmm ? ej : i think it is sad that you will never understand the type of love that samantha and i have . nicole : [ laughing ] sami : come on . eric , just say something . tell me what you 're thinking . eric : does it matter ? sami : yes , of course it matters ! you matter . you 're my twin . we have our special twin bond . i ca n't go the rest of my life thinking that you hate me for being with ej . eric : sami , special bond or not , no matter what i have to say ... you 're still gon na be with ej , right ? paige : i feel really bad about this -- bringing up what 's obviously a very painful topic for you . i 'm so sorry . jj : it 's all right . paige : [ exhales ] jj , i just met your aunt , but you 've loved her your whole life , and here i am just talking about her and what she went through , and -- jj : uh , paige ... i -- paige : from the moment i even brought it up , you 've been a mess . i mean , i knew you would be , but even more than i thought . jennifer : it was a matter of the right time , i 'm telling you ! jj : mom , you allowed me to live in this fantasy about dad . i - i thought that he was this -- this weird , funny guy that goes on adventures , and then i find out that he -- you know what ? i ca n't even say it . paige : you 're not even listening to me anymore , are you ? oh , my god . something really is wrong . jennifer : first of all , jj is his own man . he is not his father . and you , of all people , have no right to call him out on anything or terrorize him the way you did today . eve : [ exhales ] jennifer : he did n't have to show you those photos . he showed them to you because he wanted to prove to you that he was entrapped . eve : did you even see the pictures , jenn ? obviously not , because anybody with eyes in her head could tell how into that girl he was . he was loving every minute of it . jennifer : anyone with a brain in their head would see that it was n't true , that it was a setup , eve . eve : oh , please . oh , right , just as his errant father was always set up every time he behaved criminally , despicably ... jennifer : you listen to me , and you listen to me hard . my -- my husband , yes , he -- he made mistakes . serious , serious mistakes , but he was a wonderful and caring man and -- and father and husband , eve , and -- eve : oh , would you just put a sock in it , jenn ? i mean , come on , really ? i mean , defending your family is usually a noble act -- i will grant you that -- but not when your family 's not worth defending . jennifer : you watch yourself , eve . eve : well , let 's just look at the facts , shall we ? you got your daughter abigail , who slept with ej dimera , of all people ? and now jj , all over that little slut , i mean , come on . wait , wait , wait , wait , wait . jennifer : okay , i 'm leaving right now , eve . eve : let 's not forget about jack , jack , jack , jack . always and above all , jack , right ? yes , and as much as i really loathe speaking ill of the dead , the truth is , jenn -- um , well , your protestations to the contrary notwithstanding -- the truth is , he was ... a cheater , grifter , absent father , absent husband , but moreover , he was a pathological liar who used you as a human doormat over and over again . but you know what ? you loved it , because you got to play victim . and you ate it up , because you also got to look like the all - forgiving saint that -- well , i got ta admit , jenn , you are not . but what you are is a masochist . you loved how jack hurt you . you loved every single minute of it . oh ! jj : um ... it 's all , uh ... it 's kind of complicated . um ... when you -- when you asked if , um , if this was about your mom , i w -- i was n't telling the truth , because it is . paige : okay . jj : yeah , uh ... she kind of got to me , you know ? more than i let on , uh ... the things that she said , and those -- she asked if she could see the photos , and , uh , i knew they looked really bad , but i also thought that she would see that it was a setup right away . of course , she did n't , you know ? and she , uh , she laid into me pretty hard . paige : [ scoffs ] that 's so unfair . none of that was your fault , and she had no right to lay into you like that . jj : yeah . paige : i 'm gon na find her and have it out with her . jj : oh , no , no , no , no . hey , you do n't have to do that . paige : yeah , i do . i told her i believe you did n't have anything do to with that girl , and ... [ scoffs ] this time , she 's gon na listen to me . i 'm not letting her have the last word on this , jj . [ phone ringing ] jj : uh ... um , i 'm sorry , i really have to deal with this . hey , i 'll see you tomorrow , okay ? paige : yeah , sure . [ scoffs ] that 's the last time mom gets in the way of me and my boyfriend . eve : dear god . jennifer : you get this through your head . i am not gon na listen to you say one more negative word about jack or either one of my children . and you will stay away from my son from now on . you will not call him , text him , email him , anything , ever again . i hope i made myself clear . eve : sorry , bitch . i 'm just getting started . ben : i remember the first time i saw you . i was working the bar , and you came into the club to pick up a package for sonny and will . abigail : yeah , for their wedding . ben : mm - hmm . abigail : you made such a big deal about how overdressed i was . ben : oh , my god , to be honest , i was just so blown away at how beautiful you were , i -- i made a complete fool of myself . abigail : no , no , you did n't . ben : yeah . abigail : not at all . i do think i was , like , instantly attracted to you , though . ben : no . abigail : you were shy , though . but i do n't think that now , of course . nicole : [ laughing ] ej : i do n't know what it is that you find so amusing . nicole : i 'm sorry . it 's not so much what you said as how you said it and with such a straight face . [ clears throat ] `` actually , nicole , what 's sad is , you 'll never understand the type of love that samantha and i have . `` blah , blah , blah . [ laughs ] ej : it is sad . nicole : okay . ej : i do n't think you have ever experienced it , nor do i think you ever will . nicole : oh , oh , really ? how deep is your love , ej ? is it so deep that you jumped into bed with abigail deveraux ? and then sami does everything in her power to destroy you -- she has you arrested for tax evasion , she steals your company . and yet , somehow , now , apparently she has you eating right out of her hand or something like that . ej : one ca n't help but wonder if all this bitterness and resentment comes from the fact that you destroyed any possibility of any relationship with dear father eric . nicole : do n't you talk to me about eric , do you understand ? he has more integrity in his little left earlobe than you 'll have in over five lifetimes . you are not worthy to speak his name , especially when you just stood by and let your sister destroy his life and destroy us . ej : oh , dear nicki . you 're still in love with him . [ laughs ] sami : yes , i love ej no matter what . but i love you too . and i just want you to understand me and -- and love me anyway , the way you always have . so , if you ca n't get past the whole me and ej thing , i want you to tell me . i 'm sitting here , being totally honest with you . so i just -- i just want you to be honest with me too , okay , eric ? please . eve : [ sighs ] paige : [ exhales ] how could you do that to me , mom ? how could you go after jj ? eve : well , someone had to , sweetheart . jennifer : ugh . hey . hi , honey , how are you doing ? honey , what is it ? what 's going on ? it 's eve , is n't it ? and i totally understand , because i know exactly what happened today . kate : i understand your anger , i really do . jordan : like hell you do . kate : it 's not about your father . your stepfather , i 'm sorry . it 's really about the relationship between me and rafe . and i did tell him that my date with clyde was just that , just a little dinner between new acquaintances . and i also made it abundantly clear that no matter how rafe feels about me , we just do n't have a future together . so , if you could find it in yourself to just go ahead and forgive him for what we did together , i really do think that you two have a chance . jordan : you really are a colossal bitch . ej : [ laughs ] nicole : oh , does n't matter how i feel about eric , okay ? not anymore . ej : okay , i -- look , i 'm sorry . nicole : mm . ej : seriously , nicole , i 'm wondering this . with all that you and i have been through over the years , do you think it 's maybe time for us to just put the past behind us and , um , want what is best for one another ? nicole : [ laughs ] ej : huh ? nicole : uh , yeah , that -- that would be different . ej : yeah . nicole : mm - hmm . ej : refreshing , maybe , even ? nicole : hmm . we have been through the wars . with sydney ... ej : mm - hmm . nicole : sami , with each other . ej : look , i 've known you for a long time . nicole : mm - hmm . ej : and in all the time that i 've known you , i have never heard you speak about anybody with the intensity with which you speak about eric . so i ... can appreciate that this is obviously very painful for you . nicole : yeah . like i said , it does n't matter . ej : who are you ? nicole , you 're not really gon na throw in the towel that easily , are you ? nicole : it was n't easy at all . ej : okay , okay , okay , look . just -- if you love him this much , then just -- nicole : all right , as much as i love him , ej , multiply that by a gazillion , and that is how much eric hates me . okay ? sami : so you 're sitting there not answering my question . eric : the one thing that we 've never battled is our love for each other . my beautiful , impossible sister . sami : [ laughs ] eric : i love you as much as you love me . and i can not conceive one possible idea that would ever prevent me from loving you with all my heart . paige : you had no right to rip jj down like that . eve : no , i had every right , sweetheart , because i 'm your mother . i 've spent my life trying to protect you from harmful people . paige : [ laughs ] oh , please . eve : you told me that those pictures were nothing and that your friend mary beth had blown it completely out of proportion , but i 'm telling you this . jj showed me those pictures , and they were horrifying , sweetheart . you were n't honest with me at all . paige : what ? i was too . mom , it was a setup . jj did n't even know it was happening . eve : sweetheart , please do n't be a fool , all right ? jj -- jj knew exactly what was happening , all right ? and i know why you do n't want to believe what you see . i was just like you once , sweetheart . but , paige , i always thought that you were smarter than me . i mean , am i wrong ? or has this boy completely already damaged the smart , sensible girl that i raised ? honey , what has he done to you ? jennifer : i know . i know that eve came over here , and she jumped all over you , demanding to see those photos . so i just paid her a visit , and i had it out with her . jj : mom , i -- jennifer : what ? i 'm not gon na stand back and let her attack my son . and she went after your sister . jj : why abigail ? jennifer : because she will use the two of you as pawns to get to me , jj . nothing is off limits with her , not even your dad . but i am telling you right now , she is not gon na get away with it , okay ? so you -- you just live your life , and do n't worry about that poor excuse of a woman . and you do what you do , and you be who you are . do you understand me ? honey , what is going on with you ? your hands are shaking . tell me what is wrong . jj : mom , uh ... i - i 'm in trouble , and i 'm -- i 'm just not sure what to do about it . ( announcer ) are you dealing with hot flashes during menopause ? ej : nicole , in my growing experience , i have really found that hate can be temporary . nicole : well , not for eric . he is going to hate me for all eternity . and what -- wait , what are you -- what are you doing ? are you -- are you actually encouraging me not to give up on him ? because if that 's what you 're doing , i -- wait a minute , hold on . let 's back up a second . you know -- you know that sami is gon na dump you yet again . is she really the one that you love ? ej : she 's the one . nicole : well , good luck with that . ej : you take care . paige : jj has n't done anything to me . nothing . i have n't changed at all . but my eyes are wide open now , and it 's totally clear that this is all about you , mom . eve : ooh . paige : yeah . you hate his mother , you 're still mad about his father , so you hate him . eve : this is a ridiculous oversimplification , sweetheart . paige : oh , it 's ridiculous , all right . sure , yeah , you say you 've given him a chance , but you have n't at all . you stay up nights coming up with things you can use to go after him . eve : well , i really did n't have to look too far on this one , did i ? paige : [ scoffs ] jj : i , uh , i love paige so much , mom . it 's like i ca n't even think about not being able to be with her . but i get afraid sometimes . jennifer : oh , honey , i understand . i understand it has n't been easy on you guys , considering all the history , but something else is going on here , and you need to tell me what it is . abigail : i do n't ever want to leave this room . what ? ben : i do n't either . but , eventually , we 're gon na have to . and when we do , we 're gon na have to find a place where we can do this all the time . just us . unless ... abigail : unless what ? ben : i do n't know , maybe you do n't want to . abigail : yeah . yeah , you 're right . i 'm gon na have to seriously consider it . ben : yeah ? well , maybe i can help you decide . mm . well ? abigail : yeah , it 's gon na have to happen again . ben : mm . abigail : mm - hmm . ben : yeah , that 's what i thought . abigail : and again ... and maybe again . [ laughter ] this is a pip . jordan : you have made it your mission , have n't you , to undermine me from the very moment you suspected rafe might even be interested in me ? kate : you have quite the ego , jordan , to assume that i would be threatened by anything about you . jordan : you know what ? do it . go out with clyde again . he is exactly the kind of man you deserve , kate . ben : i just wish i could afford a better place to live . but i 'm saving so much money on rent right now , i 'm almost -- i 'm almost ready to go back to school . abigail : oh , ben , it 's fine . i know how important that is for you . and i want you to have that . ben : nothing in the world is more important to me right now than you are . paige : we are done . eve : sweetheart , listen to me . that boy is a liar , paige . and you 're gon na hear it from me , or you 're gon na hear it from somebody else . and liars do n't change . jj deveraux is a liar and a cheat . he 's exactly like his father , sweetheart . jennifer : jj , please , tell me . jj : you know what , mom ? uh , i 'm just on edge , you know , 'cause eve really threw me off . she jumped all over me , um ... you know , paige believes in me , but she 's just really close to her mom , so i get worried . you know , i mean , who knows what she 's saying to paige when i 'm not around , so -- jennifer : no , i know , honey . i understand . jj : and eve always finds a way to mess things up for us . jennifer : yes , and that is one of the reasons why i went over there to talk to her . jj : mom , i do n't -- i do n't want you to have to do that anymore . my god , you 've -- you 've worried enough , and you 've fought my battles to last a lifetime . you know , i do n't -- i do n't want you to have to be upset for me anymore , okay ? i do n't want you to have to worry about me ever again . eric : like i said , i just want you to be happy . if it 's with ej , if he 's the man that you love and the man you think ... [ sighs ] you can spend the rest of your life with , then i can accept it . sami : okay . but you do n't believe in him . and i totally understand that , i mean , after him knowing about what kristen did and not doing anything , you do n't forgive him . but you forgive me , right ? for forgiving him , and that 's what matters . as long as , you know , you can forgive me . eric : sami . like i said , i love you . and that 's all that matters . no conditions . sami : you are officially the best person i know . eric : really ? sami : yeah , you really are . eric : mm - hmm . sami : i 'm so lucky to have you as my little brother . [ laughter ] eric : yeah . kate : hello , ej . sami 's not here . did you forget something ? ej : you know , i think it is about time that you started packing up your things and moving out . ej : did you hear what i said , kate ? kate : oh , quite clearly . ej : good , because i know you would not want to overstay your welcome . kate : chad , this is kate . as soon as you get home , i want to talk to you . i have some information about your brother that i would encourage you to pass on to your father . sami : nicole ! do n't worry , i 'm actually in a really good mood . even you ca n't ruin it , ha . nicole : yeah , i actually heard about the good news . sami and ej , forever and ever , take two . or is it 102 ? i -- no matter . actually , you know what ? i hope both of you are every bit as happy as you were the last time . sami : [ exhales ] abigail : hey , you know what ? i have an idea . ben : oh , yeah ? abigail : yeah . there is this amazing duplex penthouse apartment for sale right in the heart of chicago . ben : really ? abigail : yeah , yeah . it has panoramic views and ... ben : hmm . abigail : this wraparound terrace ... ben : that 's ... important . abigail : right ? and it 's only $ 10 million . ben : let 's make an offer . abigail : see ? i knew we would figure it out . [ laughter ] [ phone ringing ] jennifer : oh , shoot . i 'm sure it 's a work thing . jj : oh , no , take it . i 'm -- nah , i 'm fine . jennifer : all right , i wo n't be long , okay ? jj : okay . this is on me , i know it is . i have to tell paige the truth . but how can i explain it to her when i do n't understand it myself ? eve : sweetheart , you just forget how well i knew jack deveraux . i knew what made him tick . and i can tell you this much , he was always looking out for number one , and jj is exactly like him , sweetheart . paige : [ scoffs ] eve : no , jack would lie , cheat , steal to get whatever he wanted , and jj is gon na be exactly like him , sweetheart . paige : okay , i 'm not listening to any more of this , mom . just stop ! eve : i just want you to see the truth before it 's too late , sweetheart . paige : stop . eve : just -- all right , i 'm gon na make you see it . | sami let eric know that she got back together with ej . she explained to eric how she and ej worked everything out . nicole talked to ej about what kristen did to eric . nicole thought that he was n't with sami anymore until ej corrected her . kate shocked jordan by telling her that she went out with clyde . kate let jordan know that rafe seemed jealous . nicole was n't too surprised that ej went back to sami . nicole laughed at ej when he told her that she would n't know the type of love he has with sami . jennifer and eve argued over jj . jennifer tried to convince eve that jj 's nothing like jack . eve ran down how bad jennifer 's family is . eve kept telling jennifer that she enjoyed what jack did to her so she could play the victim . jennifer could n't take eve 's comments anymore so she slapped her . jennifer warned eve to stay away from jj . eve refused to do that . nicole did n't understand why ej took sami back after everything that happened . sami wanted to know if he could forgive her . | <s>[INST] nicole : ej . are you happy with what your sister managed to get away with ? ej : i 'm not giving you a quote for your television show , nicki . nicole : i 'm not asking as a reporter . i 'm asking as someone who cares about eric . your sister caused him a tremendous amount of pain . she ruined his life and got off scot - free . oh , let me guess how that makes you feel . sami : and i 'm just a little bit nervous , eric , 'cause i have something i have to tell you . um ... and i wanted to do it in person , so i 'm so glad you 're here . eric : what is it ? sami : [ exhales ] i got back together with ej . we 're -- we 're together , for good . jordan : you ... [ stammers ] wait . you ... kate : i was out with your father . yeah , we had a harmless little date . well , but i can see that you 're about to burst a blood vessel about it , which i suppose i understand , given your feelings for me , of course , and your complicated relationship with your father . i mean , i understand that , but you know the thing that 's really curious to me ? why would rafe be so upset about it ? jj : no , no . paige : uh ... is something wrong ? jj : yeah . it 's just -- it 's just -- we ca n't be , like , down here alone , you know ? 'cause my sister and my mom could walk in . paige : we could go up to your room and close the door . jj : [ stammers ] paige : really ? okay , uh ... well , my friend daphne lives in a dorm on campus . she has night classes , and i could get us in . we 'd have privacy -- she does n't have a roommate or anything . jj : paige , are you -- are you not listening ? i said no . eve : [ exhales ] oh ! jenn , you scared me to death ! jennifer : you do not just get to dump on me and turn on your heels and walk away . eve : well , yeah , i do , 'cause i think i 've said all i need to say to you . jennifer : well , i have n't said everything that i want to say . i am not done , not by a long shot . eve : [ sighs ] ben : you are so beautiful . how did i get so damn lucky ? eve : i do n't have all night , jenn . jennifer : your words have consequences , eve . eve : i was just telling the truth . jennifer : the truth ? you would n't know the truth if it bit you on the -- eve : oh , come on . we all know what kind of man jack was , all right ? now we 're all gon na see what kind of man jj is turning out to be . okay , now you may have been willing to settle , but listen to me -- i 'm not . not for myself and certainly not for my daughter . she deserves better than your son , and damn it , she 's gon na have it . paige : i know you have more experience than n i do . is that what bothers you ? that i 'm not as -- jj : wh -- no . no , no , no , no , no . of c -- of course not , no . paige : [ exhales ] okay , because i 'm really into you . and i -- you do know that i love you . jj : yeah , i love you too . paige : so i just wanted us to get closer and have more alone time . is this about my mom ? [ sighs ] jj , i 'm so sorry that she was mean to you , and she said all those things , i -- jj : no , look , paige , it 's not about your mom . it 's -- paige : oh , okay , well ... then the only other thing it could be about is what i overheard about what happened to your aunt kayla . is that it ? is that what -- is that what 's upsetting you ? i do n't -- what ? sami : i can see by the look on your face that you 're upset . i mean , i did n't expect you to be jumping for joy or anything , but ... look , eric , i know how you feel -- how everybody feels -- about ej . but it 's important to me that you -- of all people , that you understand . ej hates that he hurt me . he has gone out of his way to make it up to me . and i 've hurt him too . but we 're a family , and ... we have worked through this . our kids are so happy when we 're together . you should have seen them last night . i mean , we -- we had so much fun , all of us , just ... i 'm never gon na be okay with the fact that ej knew what kristen did and did n't say anything . eric : sami -- sami : okay , just hear me out . i -- i want you to know that he is horrified by his sister 's actions against you , and he hates that you were in pain . eric : okay , sami , you know what ? we talked about this a while back . sami : yes , and i remember everything that we said . ej makes me very , very angry , okay ? and i hated that he did n't step forward for you . eric : sami , we both know , even if you hated ej for not stepping forward for me , it was n't what broke you . it was his affair with abigail , and i still do n't understand how you were able to get past that . sami : well , it was n't easy . but it was simple . i forgave him . certainly with your experience , with faith , you can understand that better than anyone , ca n't you ? which leads me to my next question . can you forgive me , being with ej ? ej : nicki , i 've had absolutely nothing to do with my sister since she came back to salem . nicole : oh , please . do not kid a kidder . ej : what she did to eric was deplorable . beyond the pale . nicole : right . except you knew all about it before anyone else did , and you kept it quiet . so maybe you did n't think it was `` beyond the pale `` back then . i do n't know , but maybe -- maybe you were thinking it was actually ingenious . ej : [ laughs ] okay . it was nice seeing you , nicki . nicole : it 's ironic , though , is n't it ? i mean , after all the hell that we put each other through , and -- that was another life . you get back with sami , i fall in love with eric all over again , and yet here we are . you 're not with sami , i 'm not with eric , because neither one of us could keep a houseplant alive , let alone maintain a relationship . ej : oh , uh , i 'm sorry , you have your facts wrong , not that that should be any real great surprise to either one of us , but , um ... samantha and i are actually back together , and we are doing better than we ever have . jordan : no idea what kind of games you 're playing now , kate . kate : well , surely by now you know i do n't play games . and -- and , in truth , it was rafe who introduced me to your father . jordan : stepfather . kate : whatever . whatever . but since clyde 's new to town , i thought i could fill him in on a few things . and , truthfully ? he 's really a charming man . jordan : he 's -- ugh . you do n't even know him . kate : well , i know the two of you did n't get along very well . and i know that he is eager , if not desperate , to make things right between the two of you , to be in harmony with both of his children . nicole : you and sami ... ej : are back together . yeah . and i have to tell you , we are happier than ever . nicole : that is , um ... [ laughs ] not a surprise . uh , quite predictable , actually , because everyone in salem knows that sami ca n't be without a guy for more than five minutes . of course , rafe and lucas would never take her back , because she 's shown them her true lunatic colors , but you seem to be insatiable for lunacy , women who walk all over you . so naturally , sami had to settle for you . but it 's sad , really , that you have such low standards . you 're a good - looking guy . okay , you lack a conscience and a soul , but you 're quite witty , cute smile , decent body . ej : do you know what i think 's sad ? nicole : hmm ? ej : i think it is sad that you will never understand the type of love that samantha and i have . nicole : [ laughing ] sami : come on . eric , just say something . tell me what you 're thinking . eric : does it matter ? sami : yes , of course it matters ! you matter . you 're my twin . we have our special twin bond . i ca n't go the rest of my life thinking that you hate me for being with ej . eric : sami , special bond or not , no matter what i have to say ... you 're still gon na be with ej , right ? paige : i feel really bad about this -- bringing up what 's obviously a very painful topic for you . i 'm so sorry . jj : it 's all right . paige : [ exhales ] jj , i just met your aunt , but you 've loved her your whole life , and here i am just talking about her and what she went through , and -- jj : uh , paige ... i -- paige : from the moment i even brought it up , you 've been a mess . i mean , i knew you would be , but even more than i thought . jennifer : it was a matter of the right time , i 'm telling you ! jj : mom , you allowed me to live in this fantasy about dad . i - i thought that he was this -- this weird , funny guy that goes on adventures , and then i find out that he -- you know what ? i ca n't even say it . paige : you 're not even listening to me anymore , are you ? oh , my god . something really is wrong . jennifer : first of all , jj is his own man . he is not his father . and you , of all people , have no right to call him out on anything or terrorize him the way you did today . eve : [ exhales ] jennifer : he did n't have to show you those photos . he showed them to you because he wanted to prove to you that he was entrapped . eve : did you even see the pictures , jenn ? obviously not , because anybody with eyes in her head could tell how into that girl he was . he was loving every minute of it . jennifer : anyone with a brain in their head would see that it was n't true , that it was a setup , eve . eve : oh , please . oh , right , just as his errant father was always set up every time he behaved criminally , despicably ... jennifer : you listen to me , and you listen to me hard . my -- my husband , yes , he -- he made mistakes . serious , serious mistakes , but he was a wonderful and caring man and -- and father and husband , eve , and -- eve : oh , would you just put a sock in it , jenn ? i mean , come on , really ? i mean , defending your family is usually a noble act -- i will grant you that -- but not when your family 's not worth defending . jennifer : you watch yourself , eve . eve : well , let 's just look at the facts , shall we ? you got your daughter abigail , who slept with ej dimera , of all people ? and now jj , all over that little slut , i mean , come on . wait , wait , wait , wait , wait . jennifer : okay , i 'm leaving right now , eve . eve : let 's not forget about jack , jack , jack , jack . always and above all , jack , right ? yes , and as much as i really loathe speaking ill of the dead , the truth is , jenn -- um , well , your protestations to the contrary notwithstanding -- the truth is , he was ... a cheater , grifter , absent father , absent husband , but moreover , he was a pathological liar who used you as a human doormat over and over again . but you know what ? you loved it , because you got to play victim . and you ate it up , because you also got to look like the all - forgiving saint that -- well , i got ta admit , jenn , you are not . but what you are is a masochist . you loved how jack hurt you . you loved every single minute of it . oh ! jj : um ... it 's all , uh ... it 's kind of complicated . um ... when you -- when you asked if , um , if this was about your mom , i w -- i was n't telling the truth , because it is . paige : okay . jj : yeah , uh ... she kind of got to me , you know ? more than i let on , uh ... the things that she said , and those -- she asked if she could see the photos , and , uh , i knew they looked really bad , but i also thought that she would see that it was a setup right away . of course , she did n't , you know ? and she , uh , she laid into me pretty hard . paige : [ scoffs ] that 's so unfair . none of that was your fault , and she had no right to lay into you like that . jj : yeah . paige : i 'm gon na find her and have it out with her . jj : oh , no , no , no , no . hey , you do n't have to do that . paige : yeah , i do . i told her i believe you did n't have anything do to with that girl , and ... [ scoffs ] this time , she 's gon na listen to me . i 'm not letting her have the last word on this , jj . [ phone ringing ] jj : uh ... um , i 'm sorry , i really have to deal with this . hey , i 'll see you tomorrow , okay ? paige : yeah , sure . [ scoffs ] that 's the last time mom gets in the way of me and my boyfriend . eve : dear god . jennifer : you get this through your head . i am not gon na listen to you say one more negative word about jack or either one of my children . and you will stay away from my son from now on . you will not call him , text him , email him , anything , ever again . i hope i made myself clear . eve : sorry , bitch . i 'm just getting started . ben : i remember the first time i saw you . i was working the bar , and you came into the club to pick up a package for sonny and will . abigail : yeah , for their wedding . ben : mm - hmm . abigail : you made such a big deal about how overdressed i was . ben : oh , my god , to be honest , i was just so blown away at how beautiful you were , i -- i made a complete fool of myself . abigail : no , no , you did n't . ben : yeah . abigail : not at all . i do think i was , like , instantly attracted to you , though . ben : no . abigail : you were shy , though . but i do n't think that now , of course . nicole : [ laughing ] ej : i do n't know what it is that you find so amusing . nicole : i 'm sorry . it 's not so much what you said as how you said it and with such a straight face . [ clears throat ] `` actually , nicole , what 's sad is , you 'll never understand the type of love that samantha and i have . `` blah , blah , blah . [ laughs ] ej : it is sad . nicole : okay . ej : i do n't think you have ever experienced it , nor do i think you ever will . nicole : oh , oh , really ? how deep is your love , ej ? is it so deep that you jumped into bed with abigail deveraux ? and then sami does everything in her power to destroy you -- she has you arrested for tax evasion , she steals your company . and yet , somehow , now , apparently she has you eating right out of her hand or something like that . ej : one ca n't help but wonder if all this bitterness and resentment comes from the fact that you destroyed any possibility of any relationship with dear father eric . nicole : do n't you talk to me about eric , do you understand ? he has more integrity in his little left earlobe than you 'll have in over five lifetimes . you are not worthy to speak his name , especially when you just stood by and let your sister destroy his life and destroy us . ej : oh , dear nicki . you 're still in love with him . [ laughs ] sami : yes , i love ej no matter what . but i love you too . and i just want you to understand me and -- and love me anyway , the way you always have . so , if you ca n't get past the whole me and ej thing , i want you to tell me . i 'm sitting here , being totally honest with you . so i just -- i just want you to be honest with me too , okay , eric ? please . eve : [ sighs ] paige : [ exhales ] how could you do that to me , mom ? how could you go after jj ? eve : well , someone had to , sweetheart . jennifer : ugh . hey . hi , honey , how are you doing ? honey , what is it ? what 's going on ? it 's eve , is n't it ? and i totally understand , because i know exactly what happened today . kate : i understand your anger , i really do . jordan : like hell you do . kate : it 's not about your father . your stepfather , i 'm sorry . it 's really about the relationship between me and rafe . and i did tell him that my date with clyde was just that , just a little dinner between new acquaintances . and i also made it abundantly clear that no matter how rafe feels about me , we just do n't have a future together . so , if you could find it in yourself to just go ahead and forgive him for what we did together , i really do think that you two have a chance . jordan : you really are a colossal bitch . ej : [ laughs ] nicole : oh , does n't matter how i feel about eric , okay ? not anymore . ej : okay , i -- look , i 'm sorry . nicole : mm . ej : seriously , nicole , i 'm wondering this . with all that you and i have been through over the years , do you think it 's maybe time for us to just put the past behind us and , um , want what is best for one another ? nicole : [ laughs ] ej : huh ? nicole : uh , yeah , that -- that would be different . ej : yeah . nicole : mm - hmm . ej : refreshing , maybe , even ? nicole : hmm . we have been through the wars . with sydney ... ej : mm - hmm . nicole : sami , with each other . ej : look , i 've known you for a long time . nicole : mm - hmm . ej : and in all the time that i 've known you , i have never heard you speak about anybody with the intensity with which you speak about eric . so i ... can appreciate that this is obviously very painful for you . nicole : yeah . like i said , it does n't matter . ej : who are you ? nicole , you 're not really gon na throw in the towel that easily , are you ? nicole : it was n't easy at all . ej : okay , okay , okay , look . just -- if you love him this much , then just -- nicole : all right , as much as i love him , ej , multiply that by a gazillion , and that is how much eric hates me . okay ? sami : so you 're sitting there not answering my question . eric : the one thing that we 've never battled is our love for each other . my beautiful , impossible sister . sami : [ laughs ] eric : i love you as much as you love me . and i can not conceive one possible idea that would ever prevent me from loving you with all my heart . paige : you had no right to rip jj down like that . eve : no , i had every right , sweetheart , because i 'm your mother . i 've spent my life trying to protect you from harmful people . paige : [ laughs ] oh , please . eve : you told me that those pictures were nothing and that your friend mary beth had blown it completely out of proportion , but i 'm telling you this . jj showed me those pictures , and they were horrifying , sweetheart . you were n't honest with me at all . paige : what ? i was too . mom , it was a setup . jj did n't even know it was happening . eve : sweetheart , please do n't be a fool , all right ? jj -- jj knew exactly what was happening , all right ? and i know why you do n't want to believe what you see . i was just like you once , sweetheart . but , paige , i always thought that you were smarter than me . i mean , am i wrong ? or has this boy completely already damaged the smart , sensible girl that i raised ? honey , what has he done to you ? jennifer : i know . i know that eve came over here , and she jumped all over you , demanding to see those photos . so i just paid her a visit , and i had it out with her . jj : mom , i -- jennifer : what ? i 'm not gon na stand back and let her attack my son . and she went after your sister . jj : why abigail ? jennifer : because she will use the two of you as pawns to get to me , jj . nothing is off limits with her , not even your dad . but i am telling you right now , she is not gon na get away with it , okay ? so you -- you just live your life , and do n't worry about that poor excuse of a woman . and you do what you do , and you be who you are . do you understand me ? honey , what is going on with you ? your hands are shaking . tell me what is wrong . jj : mom , uh ... i - i 'm in trouble , and i 'm -- i 'm just not sure what to do about it . ( announcer ) are you dealing with hot flashes during menopause ? ej : nicole , in my growing experience , i have really found that hate can be temporary . nicole : well , not for eric . he is going to hate me for all eternity . and what -- wait , what are you -- what are you doing ? are you -- are you actually encouraging me not to give up on him ? because if that 's what you 're doing , i -- wait a minute , hold on . let 's back up a second . you know -- you know that sami is gon na dump you yet again . is she really the one that you love ? ej : she 's the one . nicole : well , good luck with that . ej : you take care . paige : jj has n't done anything to me . nothing . i have n't changed at all . but my eyes are wide open now , and it 's totally clear that this is all about you , mom . eve : ooh . paige : yeah . you hate his mother , you 're still mad about his father , so you hate him . eve : this is a ridiculous oversimplification , sweetheart . paige : oh , it 's ridiculous , all right . sure , yeah , you say you 've given him a chance , but you have n't at all . you stay up nights coming up with things you can use to go after him . eve : well , i really did n't have to look too far on this one , did i ? paige : [ scoffs ] jj : i , uh , i love paige so much , mom . it 's like i ca n't even think about not being able to be with her . but i get afraid sometimes . jennifer : oh , honey , i understand . i understand it has n't been easy on you guys , considering all the history , but something else is going on here , and you need to tell me what it is . abigail : i do n't ever want to leave this room . what ? ben : i do n't either . but , eventually , we 're gon na have to . and when we do , we 're gon na have to find a place where we can do this all the time . just us . unless ... abigail : unless what ? ben : i do n't know , maybe you do n't want to . abigail : yeah . yeah , you 're right . i 'm gon na have to seriously consider it . ben : yeah ? well , maybe i can help you decide . mm . well ? abigail : yeah , it 's gon na have to happen again . ben : mm . abigail : mm - hmm . ben : yeah , that 's what i thought . abigail : and again ... and maybe again . [ laughter ] this is a pip . jordan : you have made it your mission , have n't you , to undermine me from the very moment you suspected rafe might even be interested in me ? kate : you have quite the ego , jordan , to assume that i would be threatened by anything about you . jordan : you know what ? do it . go out with clyde again . he is exactly the kind of man you deserve , kate . ben : i just wish i could afford a better place to live . but i 'm saving so much money on rent right now , i 'm almost -- i 'm almost ready to go back to school . abigail : oh , ben , it 's fine . i know how important that is for you . and i want you to have that . ben : nothing in the world is more important to me right now than you are . paige : we are done . eve : sweetheart , listen to me . that boy is a liar , paige . and you 're gon na hear it from me , or you 're gon na hear it from somebody else . and liars do n't change . jj deveraux is a liar and a cheat . he 's exactly like his father , sweetheart . jennifer : jj , please , tell me . jj : you know what , mom ? uh , i 'm just on edge , you know , 'cause eve really threw me off . she jumped all over me , um ... you know , paige believes in me , but she 's just really close to her mom , so i get worried . you know , i mean , who knows what she 's saying to paige when i 'm not around , so -- jennifer : no , i know , honey . i understand . jj : and eve always finds a way to mess things up for us . jennifer : yes , and that is one of the reasons why i went over there to talk to her . jj : mom , i do n't -- i do n't want you to have to do that anymore . my god , you 've -- you 've worried enough , and you 've fought my battles to last a lifetime . you know , i do n't -- i do n't want you to have to be upset for me anymore , okay ? i do n't want you to have to worry about me ever again . eric : like i said , i just want you to be happy . if it 's with ej , if he 's the man that you love and the man you think ... [ sighs ] you can spend the rest of your life with , then i can accept it . sami : okay . but you do n't believe in him . and i totally understand that , i mean , after him knowing about what kristen did and not doing anything , you do n't forgive him . but you forgive me , right ? for forgiving him , and that 's what matters . as long as , you know , you can forgive me . eric : sami . like i said , i love you . and that 's all that matters . no conditions . sami : you are officially the best person i know . eric : really ? sami : yeah , you really are . eric : mm - hmm . sami : i 'm so lucky to have you as my little brother .

[ scene_break ] lily : so , someone threw out a concept at the meeting for the theme of the event , and i happen to think that it 's awful . but you 're the expert , so i figure i should run it by you . kelly : after a build up like that , i 'm on the edge of my seat . lily : well , it 's `` once upon a winter evening . `` it 's a storybook theme . basically , celebrating the imagination of children . kelly : that 's interesting . lily : yeah , i know , right ? kelly : actually , i like it . it has potential . sorry . lily : that 's fine . you 're the expert . kelly : but it does n't matter how we feel . what did victoria and billy think ? lily : victoria loved it , and she figured that billy would , too . kelly : billy was n't here ? lily : no , he was supposed to be , but he ended up not showing up . kelly : billy was a no - show at a delia project meeting ? lily : yeah .

[ scene_break ] victoria : well , when he left here , he was in a really odd mood , and he 's not at the restaurant , his phone goes straight through to voicemail . stitch : any chance he 's just out driving around , clearing his head ? that 's what i do when i 'm on overload . victoria : yeah , you know what ? you 're right . that 's probably it . [ chuckles ] stitch : do you mind if i ask something that 's probably none of my business ? when i got here , you thought i might be him . how often does billy knock on his own door ? victoria : more often than you would think . you know , he 's always misplacing his house key , and that would be just fine if he was n't always coming up with a clever place to hide the spare . stitch : sounds familiar . victoria : when i answered the door , i was kind of disappointed that it was n't billy , but i was also a little relieved that it was you . stitch : what do you mean ? victoria : well , you have sort of an authoritative knock , stitch . stitch : thanks . i think . victoria : it 's just when i heard it , i had this flash of fear that there was , like , bad news waiting on the other side of the door . stitch : are you that worried about him ? victoria : no , it 's just that bad news does n't usually call or text . bad news knocks . stitch : i 'm sure he 's fine , victoria . look , do you want to go out looking for him ? victoria : oh , no , no , no . that 's not necessary . i 'm sure you 're right . i 'm sure that he 's gon na call me any minute now . stitch : i could stick around until he shows up . would that help ? victoria : i have an idea . are you hungry ? stitch : [ chuckles ] victoria : that 's why you 're really in the neighborhood , is n't it ? you were on your way to the burger beat . admit it . stitch : i ca n't . i 'm too ashamed . victoria : you should be ashamed . that 's awful . i 'm gon na cook us a nice home- cooked dinner . what do you say ? stitch : oh , no , no , no . you do n't -- i could n't ask you to do that . victoria : what are you talking about ? are you hungry or are you not hungry ? because i 'm starving , and , honestly , i could use the company right now . and if you 're gon na be hanging out here , you might as well get a free meal out of it , right ? stitch : great . what are we having ? victoria : let 's go find out .

[ chuckles ] actually , it 's a skill i picked up in basic . victoria : oh , wow . they still make you do that ? stitch : potatoes do n't peel themselves . victoria : right . it 's just , it 's really kind of funny picturing you and dylan in the army together . stitch : did n't seem funny at the time . victoria : oh , no . i did n't mean it like that . stitch : i know . i 'm sorry . i get what you mean . uh , you got your gomer pyle and you got your beetle bailey . and you got your mac and stitch . victoria : so , that 's where `` stitch `` came from , the nickname , from the army ? stitch : what else are you gon na call a medic ? victoria : i kind of liked it when kelly called you ben the other night . when the two of you were both here . i might try that . stitch : call me anything you want , just do n't -- victoria : call me late for dinner .

[ scene_break ] victor : i do n't understand . please tell me what happened . is he in some kind of serious trouble or what ? chelsea : since when do you care about adam ? victor : chelsea , he 's my son . no matter what happened , i 'm his father , okay ? so , is he in some kind of trouble ? chelsea : [ crying ] victor : please tell me . just know that more than anything else , i want to help you . chelsea : [ sniffles ] [ scene_break ] adam : just take me to the police station and i will tell every part of this story . billy : i 've had enough of you ! adam : i will tell everyone . billy : get down ! you get down right there . that 's where my daughter died . you get right here ! i 've waited months for this ! i 'm not gon na wait another second . now , you tell me . so help me , i will put a bullet in you . i will leave you here to die alone just like my daughter . you tell me . say it ! what happened to my daughter ? ! adam : [ crying ] it was an accident .

[ scene_break ] victoria : you could make a big difference in this family if you 'll just do one thing for me . stitch : victoria , name it . whatever it is , i 'd be glad to help . victoria : okay . i would actually really love it if you would teach me how to pull a coin out of somebody 's ear . stitch : [ laughs ] that would make a big difference in this family ? victoria : yes , it would ! johnny -- you saw how much he laughed when you pulled that coin out of his ear . it was so cute . and he thinks that billy and i are a couple of non - magical losers , so -- stitch : oh , he said that , did he ? victoria : well , not in so many words . but a mother knows these things . stitch : well , consider it done . i 'd be glad to teach you . [ cell phone beeps ] stitch : ah , looks like bad news does text . i got to get back to the hospital . there 's been a couple of accidents . victoria : oh , no . stitch : do n't worry . i 'm sure billy is fine . [ scene_break ] adam : [ voice breaking ] chelsea and i took connor to the doctor that night . we found out that he was gon na go blind -- if he was n't treated . my genes , my fault . or so i thought . i left there alone . i got in my car and i just wanted to drive . i drove the long way home . i wanted to think . i was thinking about my son and him going blind . i was just driving with my thoughts . [ sniffles ] i 'm out on the road , and a dog runs out into the middle of the road . billy : dash . his name was dash . adam : i swerved . i put on the brakes . i put the car in park . i opened the door , i stepped out , i looked around . i checked . i saw a dog with a wagging tail , and it ran off . i was relieved that i did n't hit anything . that i did n't hit the dog . i got in my car , and i drove home . [ crying ] that was it . i swear . billy : you left the kid -- my kid -- alone ? to die in the dark ? and to you , that 's it ? adam : when i got home , chelsea told me about the accident . she told me about delia . she said what happened . i had no idea . i did n't even put two and two together . there was no correlation between the two . i did n't know that i had done that ! billy : how 'd you put it together ? how 'd you put it together ? ! adam : the scarf ! billy : [ sighs ] oh , man . [ scene_break ] victor : clearly something terrible happened . this was your wedding night . you were on the way to paris . chelsea : that 's what this was all about -- the urgency . his need to get as far away as possible , and the secrecy and the way he 's been acting for the past few months . but i never could have imagined -- victor : you could n't have imagined what ? listen , you can not go on like this . you 're a mother to the little boy . you 're in no shape right now to take care of him . chelsea : [ sniffling ] victor : let me help you , okay ? i know you do n't like me . i understand that . a lot of stuff has happened . but i can tell you that i can fix it . chelsea : you ca n't fix this . you ca n't fix this , victor . no one can . she 's gone .

[ door opens ] victor : yes , officer . what can i do for you ? officer harding : we have a warrant for the arrest of adam newman . victor : on what charges ? officer harding : is adam newman here ? victor : no , officer harding , he is not . i presume you know who i am . and you will take my word for it when i tell you adam is not here , okay ? now , the baby is trying to sleep , and i assure you if adam comes home , i will contact you , all right ? thank you for your consideration . have a nice day . chelsea : that 's why adam took off for god knows where . he knew the cops were coming for him . victor : [ sighs deeply ] chelsea : and that note -- it 's not a love note . it 's goodbye . [ scene_break ] billy : her missing scarf . where was it ? adam , you better tell me where you found that scarf . adam : tangled in the wheel well of my car . billy : so , you found the scarf in your wheel well and then what did you do ? you got on the phone and called the cops ? you turned yourself in . adam : [ sniffles ] billy : no . what you did was you shut up , and you started packing for paris . adam : that 's not how it happened . billy : where is it ? adam : what ? billy : where is the scarf ? adam : i burned it . [ crying ] billy : you burned that scarf . my daughter loved that scarf . that was her favorite part of her costume . and you pulled it out of your wheel well , and you burned it . like it was trash . like my daughter did n't mean anything . that 's what you did . [ scene_break ] devon : there 's never gon na be a winner in this fight , so how about the two of you use this delia project as an opportunity to start fresh and make up . lily : oh , yeah , there 's a real friendship in our future . definitely . hilary : i was thinking that we could braid each other 's hair and talk about boys . devon : did i say friendship ? i would settle for moderately civil to each other . hilary : yeah , i think `` no thanks `` pretty much covers that for me , too . but i would still love to be a part of the fundraiser , so , if this one ever gets over herself , you can give me a call . lily : `` this one `` ? really ? [ laughs ] [ sighs ] devon : i 'll work on it . kelly : yeah . that would be great . um , we need all the volunteers we can get , and she seems to have it all together . devon : she does . she 's actually -- she 's very smart and very business savvy . lily : i 'm sorry . am i actually hearing this or did you have amnesia ? or is it that anyone could do anything to your family that you do n't find unforgivable ? devon : i know you 're just as surprised as i am to discover there 's more to hilary than i actually thought . lily : oh , my god . you like her . devon : just give her a chance and work with her , please ? lily : you do . you like -- i ca n't even -- you 're actually attracted to her ? yeah .

[ scene_break ] victoria : no problem . okay . well , thank you . have a good night . chelsea : it 's like the world i woke up in this morning does n't even exist anymore . like , my husband of just a few hours is on the run and the cops are searching for him . what will they do to him when they find him ? [ connor crying ] chelsea : oh , my god . connor . victor : just go to him , all right ? you be a good mother to that boy . be a good mother to my grandson . it 's all you have to do right now . it 's the most important thing . but i assure you that i will take care of things . you and that boy are my family now . come here . okay .

[ scene_break ] taylor : this is n't like it 's a bad thing . thomas : what do you mean ? he went to brooke 's . taylor : to tell her that he 's marrying me . steffy : she wants him back . taylor : it 's what your father wants that matters , and he wants to make that clear to her . thomas : yeah , but will she listen to him ? stephanie : i do n't think your mother has anything to worry about . i wish he had n't gone , but , you know , he -- he thought it was the right thing to do , to tell her himself . and you have to respect that . she is n't gon na want to hear this . we know that . but that does n't matter . he 's made his decision . no matter what she says or does , he is n't going to change his mind . [ scene_break ] brooke : married ? ridge : i know it 's got ta be a shock . brooke : no , it -- it 's too soon , ridge . you told me that . i asked you . wait , you ca n't do this . ridge : taylor and i already started making plans . brooke : no , no , it 's wrong . it 's a mistake . i should know because i caused it . i told you to go over there and live with her . ridge : yes , you did . you told me this is what you wanted . brooke : no , it 's not what i wanted , not really . ridge : brooke , please do n't make this any more difficult than it already is . brooke : and why is it difficult ? have you asked yourself that ? why come here and tell me anything at all ? if you really wanted to marry taylor , you would just marry her . but you wanted me to stop you . ridge : no . brooke : well , then you want to punish me . ridge : no , i do n't . brooke : i hurt you , and i pushed you away . so you want me to feel the exact same thing . ridge : do n't do this . brooke : well , do n't make me . ( sighs ) it 's not too late , ridge . i just need you to understand how i feel . ridge : i do understand . and i need you to understand something , too . you may regret pushing me away the way you did , but this did n't happen by mistake , brooke . we did n't get here by accident . brooke : it was an accident . ridge : it was n't just one thing . it was everything . it was phoebe , all of our problems with rick , steffy , taylor and me . all these things should n't have happened , but they did . brooke : because of my unfailing support of my son . ridge : brooke , you refuse to see my point of view . you and i were on totally different wavelengths the whole time . brooke : ridge , we 're not now . i was foolish then . i see what i was doing , but i - i will put you first from now on above anything else . i promise you that . i give you my word . just do n't go into this marriage . ridge : it 's too late . brooke : no . no , it 's not too late . we still love each other . and you 're not gon na resolve your hurt by marrying taylor . she 's not gon na make you happier than i can . ridge : logan , once upon a time , we were happy . but the last long while , it 's like our life has been a minefield . every step we took just seemed to blow up on our faces . we could n't help each other . i could n't even help myself . brooke : so taylor helped you ? is that why you 're marrying her ? do n't you see what you 're doing ? you 're doing the same thing i did . you 're just reacting out of hurt and confusion . ridge : i just need ... i need some peace and quiet in my life , brooke . i need ... i need a direction in my life . brooke : you need it to be the way it was for us before everything went haywire . and it can be that . but not if you 're with taylor . she is not going to make you happier than i can , and you know that . so do n't deny it . and do n't deny yourself , because i am , and i always will be the love of your life .Summarize.[/INST]stephanie says hallelujah when she hears that taylor and ridge are getting married . she says they do n't call her the wedding planner for nothing . tomorrow is fine ; just get on with it . she can call the minister , the caterer and the florist . ridge tells stephanie that he must go tell brooke his decision . she warns him to give it some time . she will try to change his mind again . she always promises but can not deliver . whip wants to go all out for the fangs out cougar image . jackie m will sizzle . owen is less enthusiastic , but jackie laps up the praise . if one boy toy is good , then four must be better . whip calls out the big guns . owen thinks it is undignified , but jackie thinks it is serious fun and she is ready for it . clarke and pam stand by while jackie struts her stuff with the four cavemen for the camera . whip directs but owen objects to him making his wife out to be a sex starved diva . again jackie thinks the idea is brilliant and owen has to go along . katie tries to cheer brooke , but she 's not up for going out . she knows the family is trying to get taylor back with ridge , but she knows he will not make that commitment .</s> | 459 |

[ scene_break ] stephanie : hi , sweetheart . well , your father left for work early because he said , um , you 're making some sort of a big announcement about the company on a podcast . ridge : yeah , i know all about it . stephanie : well , it sounds so exciting . should we be , you know , celebrating ? ridge : not exactly , mother . dad made rick president of forrester creations . stephanie : you 're president . ridge : not anymore . stephanie : what ? brooke : ( sighs ) eric thinks that rick deserves this opportunity . nobody can deny that he 's been a vital part of this company . ridge : rick made the ultimate cheap - shot power move . he told dad i turned off his ventilator . stephanie : what ? ridge : i do n't even know if you know about this , mother . we never got a chance to talk about it . stephanie : well , of course i know about it . dr. patrick told me . it was a mistake . fortunately , there was no damage done . so i never even thought it was necessary to discuss it . ridge : well , apparently , rick did . stephanie : why would he do that ? ridge : because he wants to get back at me . that 's why . he blames me for everything in his miserable life . brooke : no , ridge , eric must 've found out some other way . ridge : how would he , brooke ? how would he find out ? no , rick is the one who told him . he made it seem like i wanted dad dead . obviously , that could n't be further from the truth . stephanie : i 'll talk to your father . ridge : i do n't know , mother . rick 's got dad really brainwashed . and he 's trying to undermine me . not just my relationship with dad , but my relationship with brooke , too . and it 's working . [ scene_break ] woman : so that 's the big announcement . rick is our new president . marcus : it 's a pretty great opportunity for him . steffy : how can you be happy about this ? marcus : look , babe , rick 's my boy . i mean , we at least got ta be a little happy for the guy , especially everything he 's been going through . steffy : yeah , well , it 's a drag for my dad . marcus : i know , babe . steffy : why would my grandfather do something like this ? it just -- i do n't get it . marcus : look , there 's got ta be a good reason for it , okay ? i mean , eric 's always been a fair guy . look , he 's c.e.o . we have to respect his decision . [ scene_break ] eric : being president of this company 's gon na be a big challenge , but i believe in you . rick : well , i 'm gon na make you very proud . eric : you already have . rick : ( laughs ) eric : it 's your time to shine and show your talent to the rest of the fashion world . rick : well , dad , you have entrusted me with a company you spent your entire life building . there 's no greater gift a father could give to his son . eric : well , this company is your legacy as much as it is ridge 's . rick : yeah , it 's just a shame he does n't see it that way . eric : he will . but you 're president now , and i know you can handle it . rick : well , it 's because of that that i was able to get up on my feet out of my bed . for that , i thank you . eric : okay . all right . [ scene_break ] ridge : this miraculous recovery that rick 's had -- i do n't buy it for a second . i 'm actually shocked you and dad fell for it , too . stephanie : you think he 's faking ? brooke : why would he lie about something like that ? ridge : to get me out of the house here , brooke . then dad makes him president , and , gee , go figure . he 's up on his feet jumpin ' for joy . stephanie : oh , well , that is quite a coincidence , is n't it ? ridge : he blames me for his breakup with taylor . he blames me for pushing him off the roof . now he 's trying to undermine my relationship with brooke . the guy is out for revenge . brooke : please , i am not gon na listen to any more of this . just stop . ridge : this is what i 'm talking about right here . your son is coming between us . brooke : ( sighs ) stephanie : well , how do you feel about the promotion , brooke ? brooke : if it were up to me , i would like it if ridge and rick could work side by side running the company . but apparently , that ca n't happen . so eric had to make a decision . ridge : brooke , do n't you see how wrong all of this is ? brooke : ridge , i am in a terrible position here . ridge : and that 's exactly what your son wants . brooke : look ... ( sighs ) i ca n't talk about this right now . i have to go to the office , and i have to make a statement on that podcast , and everything i 'm feeling i will make clear there . stephanie : i do n't understand why your father would do this . ridge : because it 's his company . he owns it 100 % . he can do whatever he wants . stephanie : the hell he can . [ scene_break ] ( cell phone rings ) taylor : hi , sweetheart . steffy : hey , mom ? granddad just made rick the new president of forrester creations . taylor : rick and your father will be running the company together ? steffy : no , rick is sole president . dad is out . he wo n't even come back to the office . taylor : oh , my god . your father must be devastated . [ scene_break ] ridge : logan , i know rick 's your son , but i need you on my side here . i need you to take a stand with him before things get out of hand any further . brooke : i ca n't do that , ridge . you should n't ask me to . i love you . you 're everything that i want , that i need . but you ca n't ask me to go against my son . please , just ...

( sighs ) but i 'm not gon na lie . i do n't like being put in the middle of my son and the man that i love . rick : yeah , i know , but ridge had every opportunity in the world to share this presidency with me . he chose not to . brooke : that 's true . i just hope that the speech that i make today strikes a chord with everybody involved . the right chord . not just you , but for eric and myself and especially ridge . taylor : ( sighs ) ridge : you heard the big news ? taylor : steffy told me . i 'm so sorry , ridge . eric ca n't possibly mean this . ridge : oh , he does . in fact , they 're about to make the big announcement . taylor : ( sighs ) does stephanie know about this ?

( echoes ) [ scene_break ] ridge : all the hours i spent helping to build this business . all the years i spent thinking that i was working towards being in charge one day . i really thought dad was preparing me to take over for him . taylor : well , you 've helped forrester creations become what it is today . everybody knows that . ridge : it was never about the accolades , the glory . it was about continuing the tradition for the family . now dad 's throwing all that away because he thinks it 's rick 's turn . how could he do this ? taylor : what does brooke think about all this ? ridge : she 's gon na make some kind of statement and try to give it some perspective . taylor : mm . well , that must be very difficult for her knowing that she 's caught in the middle between you and her son . ridge : she 's loyal to rick . i know that . but she 's gon na make it clear that rick is not the heir apparent . i am . i need her to make a big statement here . i know she wo n't let me down .

[ scene_break ] eric : the decision has been made . i 'm not gon na change my mind . stephanie : you 're upset . you 're angry because ridge pulled the plug . eric : well , yes , i am . that ca n't possibly surprise you . what i 'm angry about is that nobody else in this family bothered to even tell me about it . stephanie : oh , that has n't got anything to do with anything . eric : i could have been killed , stephanie . i could have been killed . stephanie : oh , stop it , eric . you had no idea the hopelessness that we felt . they -- they put you on that ventilator . they shoved that tube down your throat . i know exactly how ridge felt . he thought you were suffering unnecessarily . and the picture that you 've been given is absolutely inaccurate . he was n't trying to get rid of you . my god , there could n't be anything further from the truth . eric : i 'm not trying to hurt ridge . i offered him the co - presidency with rick , and he was too arrogant to even consider it . stephanie : well , what would you expect after all the promises you 've made to him ? eric : stephanie , rick is my son , too . stephanie : i understand that . well , what about this miraculous recovery ? i mean , suppose ridge is right . suppose it 's some kind of con game . eric : oh , for god 's sake . not you , too . stephanie : please , if you need to bond with rick , if you feel that guilty , then take him someplace on a fishing trip . but do n't turn over the reigns of the company to him . eric : the offer to be co - president with rick is still on the table . that offer is still there . stephanie : that 's like a slap in the face . rick : oh , thank you . sorry to interrupt , but we have to get started . stephanie , what the hell are you doing here ? stephanie : trying to talk some sense into my husband . this is absolutely absurd . rick : um , well , i 'm sorry , but we do have to get started . eric : listen , i can put up with ridge 's ego and his occasional , uh , temper tantrum . i can even forgive him for disconnecting my life support , but what i can not forgive is this accusation that rick is somehow faking his injuries . now he 's making a brave , courageous comeback here , and i will not have that belittled . stephanie : no one is belittling rick . but what you are doing is a tremendous mistake . it 's something that you will regret to the day you die . i 'm begging you , please do not do this to your family . do n't do this to our son . | thorne does n't take rick 's new promotion to president of forrester creations too well . it 's a pity promotion , and ridge will answer to rick now . jake sets everything up for the press conference announcement with marcus watching . eric tells rick that it is his time to shine and he 's very proud of him . ridge decides to do his designing at home . he relays to brooke and stephanie that this is all an act , a miraculous recovery by rick just to get ridge thrown out of brooke 's house . stephanie vows she will speak to eric . brooke is torn , caught between fiancee and son . she tells ridge that she wishes he and rick could work together . she will make her statement for the ipod very clear . steffy tells taylor of the new development and taylor shows up for ridge 's support . he is sure brooke wo n't let him down . she knows rick is not really the heir apparent . brooke gives her love and support to rick before the announcement . stephanie confronts eric and states that this company already has a president , and that is her son , ridge . they quarrel over the fact that no one told him about ridge pulling the plug . he 's not trying to hurt ridge , he offered him the co - presidency , but ridge declined . just before the announcement , she begs eric not to do this to the family , not to their son . | <s>[INST] woman : morning , mr. forrester . eric : katie . hi . lexie , hello . let me see the back of it . good . it 's exactly what we wanted . nice . thank you . morning . morning , jake . how 's it going in here ?

[ scene_break ] stephanie : hi , sweetheart . well , your father left for work early because he said , um , you 're making some sort of a big announcement about the company on a podcast . ridge : yeah , i know all about it . stephanie : well , it sounds so exciting . should we be , you know , celebrating ? ridge : not exactly , mother . dad made rick president of forrester creations . stephanie : you 're president . ridge : not anymore . stephanie : what ? brooke : ( sighs ) eric thinks that rick deserves this opportunity . nobody can deny that he 's been a vital part of this company . ridge : rick made the ultimate cheap - shot power move . he told dad i turned off his ventilator . stephanie : what ? ridge : i do n't even know if you know about this , mother . we never got a chance to talk about it . stephanie : well , of course i know about it . dr. patrick told me . it was a mistake . fortunately , there was no damage done . so i never even thought it was necessary to discuss it . ridge : well , apparently , rick did . stephanie : why would he do that ? ridge : because he wants to get back at me . that 's why . he blames me for everything in his miserable life . brooke : no , ridge , eric must 've found out some other way . ridge : how would he , brooke ? how would he find out ? no , rick is the one who told him . he made it seem like i wanted dad dead . obviously , that could n't be further from the truth . stephanie : i 'll talk to your father . ridge : i do n't know , mother . rick 's got dad really brainwashed . and he 's trying to undermine me . not just my relationship with dad , but my relationship with brooke , too . and it 's working . [ scene_break ] woman : so that 's the big announcement . rick is our new president . marcus : it 's a pretty great opportunity for him . steffy : how can you be happy about this ? marcus : look , babe , rick 's my boy . i mean , we at least got ta be a little happy for the guy , especially everything he 's been going through . steffy : yeah , well , it 's a drag for my dad . marcus : i know , babe . steffy : why would my grandfather do something like this ? it just -- i do n't get it . marcus : look , there 's got ta be a good reason for it , okay ? i mean , eric 's always been a fair guy . look , he 's c.e.o . we have to respect his decision . [ scene_break ] eric : being president of this company 's gon na be a big challenge , but i believe in you . rick : well , i 'm gon na make you very proud . eric : you already have . rick : ( laughs ) eric : it 's your time to shine and show your talent to the rest of the fashion world . rick : well , dad , you have entrusted me with a company you spent your entire life building . there 's no greater gift a father could give to his son . eric : well , this company is your legacy as much as it is ridge 's . rick : yeah , it 's just a shame he does n't see it that way . eric : he will . but you 're president now , and i know you can handle it . rick : well , it 's because of that that i was able to get up on my feet out of my bed . for that , i thank you . eric : okay . all right . [ scene_break ] ridge : this miraculous recovery that rick 's had -- i do n't buy it for a second . i 'm actually shocked you and dad fell for it , too . stephanie : you think he 's faking ? brooke : why would he lie about something like that ? ridge : to get me out of the house here , brooke . then dad makes him president , and , gee , go figure . he 's up on his feet jumpin ' for joy . stephanie : oh , well , that is quite a coincidence , is n't it ? ridge : he blames me for his breakup with taylor . he blames me for pushing him off the roof . now he 's trying to undermine my relationship with brooke . the guy is out for revenge . brooke : please , i am not gon na listen to any more of this . just stop . ridge : this is what i 'm talking about right here . your son is coming between us . brooke : ( sighs ) stephanie : well , how do you feel about the promotion , brooke ? brooke : if it were up to me , i would like it if ridge and rick could work side by side running the company . but apparently , that ca n't happen . so eric had to make a decision . ridge : brooke , do n't you see how wrong all of this is ? brooke : ridge , i am in a terrible position here . ridge : and that 's exactly what your son wants . brooke : look ... ( sighs ) i ca n't talk about this right now . i have to go to the office , and i have to make a statement on that podcast , and everything i 'm feeling i will make clear there . stephanie : i do n't understand why your father would do this . ridge : because it 's his company . he owns it 100 % . he can do whatever he wants . stephanie : the hell he can . [ scene_break ] ( cell phone rings ) taylor : hi , sweetheart . steffy : hey , mom ? granddad just made rick the new president of forrester creations . taylor : rick and your father will be running the company together ? steffy : no , rick is sole president . dad is out . he wo n't even come back to the office . taylor : oh , my god . your father must be devastated . [ scene_break ] ridge : logan , i know rick 's your son , but i need you on my side here . i need you to take a stand with him before things get out of hand any further . brooke : i ca n't do that , ridge . you should n't ask me to . i love you . you 're everything that i want , that i need . but you ca n't ask me to go against my son . please , just ... ( sighs ) work with rick , side by side , just the way your dad wants . maybe rick can learn something from you . ridge : oh , logan , he does n't want to learn anything from me . he wants to bring me down . and frankly , i do n't trust the guy . brooke : ( sighs ) look , i 'm really running late . when i make my statement , you 'll understand . i 'll make my loyalties very clear . i love you . i just wish there was n't all this bad blood between you and rick . ridge : if i could change all this , i would , but i do n't think at this point i can . but one thing i am certain of is our love can see us through anything , okay ? do n't ever forget that . [ scene_break ] marcus : yeah , so , big world wide web announcement , huh ? jake : yeah . marcus : i 've never been a part of one of these before . is this gon na be live ? jake : no , no . it 's gon na be posted later , you know ? marcus : why is that ? jake : well , 'cause we got ta do some editing if necessary before it 's sent out to the secure web site . marcus : oh , okay . so once you do all that , then who 's gon na see it ? jake : international offices , distribution centers and our retail shops around the world . actually , anybody who 's got a computer can log on to the forrester web site . marcus : right . so -- so pretty much the whole forrester universe then . jake : you got it . marcus : dang . what a major shake - up this is gon na be . all right , jake , you 're all set , man . um , i 'm gon na catch you later . jake : okay . thank you . [ scene_break ] rick : ( sighs ) rick : ( scoffs ) brooke : ( sighs ) rick : oh , hey , mom . how you doing ? i was just , you know , clearing my head before we started . brooke : uh , honey , you do n't have to leave . ridge is n't coming in for the announcement today . rick : yeah , i heard about that . brooke : in fact , he 's not going to be using this office anymore either . rick : dad told me . it 's just a shame that ridge could n't put aside his humungous ego for once . brooke : he 's feeling left out . he 's very angry . this company has been a huge part of his life . rick : yeah , this company means a lot to me , too , mom . brooke : i know that . it 's just that ridge is feeling betrayed right now . rick : ( sighs ) look , if ridge cared about this company as much as he says he does , he would n't be home right now pouting . he would respect dad 's decision . i 'm sorry . look , dad has put a lot of faith in me . i just wish you would , too . i 'm getting ready for a big announcement . i just want to know that you -- you support me on this , you 're behind me . brooke : i do , and i am . ( sighs ) but i 'm not gon na lie . i do n't like being put in the middle of my son and the man that i love . rick : yeah , i know , but ridge had every opportunity in the world to share this presidency with me . he chose not to . brooke : that 's true . i just hope that the speech that i make today strikes a chord with everybody involved . the right chord . not just you , but for eric and myself and especially ridge . taylor : ( sighs ) ridge : you heard the big news ? taylor : steffy told me . i 'm so sorry , ridge . eric ca n't possibly mean this . ridge : oh , he does . in fact , they 're about to make the big announcement . taylor : ( sighs ) does stephanie know about this ? [ scene_break ] ( elevator bell dings ) woman : hi , mrs. forrester . uh - oh . stephanie : eric , i want to talk to you . jake : hey , mrs. forrester . i was talking to mr. forr -- stephanie : alone , please . jake : oh . stephanie : this company already has a president , and that happens to be my son ridge . is there anyone out there ... ( echoes ) [ scene_break ] ridge : all the hours i spent helping to build this business . all the years i spent thinking that i was working towards being in charge one day . i really thought dad was preparing me to take over for him . taylor : well , you 've helped forrester creations become what it is today . everybody knows that . ridge : it was never about the accolades , the glory . it was about continuing the tradition for the family . now dad 's throwing all that away because he thinks it 's rick 's turn . how could he do this ? taylor : what does brooke think about all this ? ridge : she 's gon na make some kind of statement and try to give it some perspective . taylor : mm . well , that must be very difficult for her knowing that she 's caught in the middle between you and her son . ridge : she 's loyal to rick . i know that . but she 's gon na make it clear that rick is not the heir apparent . i am . i need her to make a big statement here . i know she wo n't let me down . [ scene_break ] rick : do i look presidential enough , mom ? brooke : you look great . rick : ( sighs ) thank you . i 've got to admit , these crutches really kind of cramp my style . ( groans ) brooke : i hope you 're not pushing yourself . you know , i 'd really feel better if you went to be checked out by the orthopedic specialist . rick : no , definitely not . i mean , no , i 'm -- look how well i 'm doing right now . brooke : still . really . i would feel better . rick : mom , i can really only focus on one thing at a time , and right now , it 's the big announcement . i 've been waiting for this day my entire life . i 'm president of forrester creations , working right alongside dad . you have been so good to me ever since my fall , taking care of me , and you 're here for me now on this big day . i love you , mom . brooke : i love you , too , sweetheart . stephanie : i know you . i know you feel guilty . you think you did n't spend enough time , you did n't pay enough attention to rick . maybe it 's true , but it certainly does n't warrant a decision like this . he has n't earned this . he 's a very bright young man . he did a wonderful job at international . but to be made president of forrester creations ? [ scene_break ] eric : the decision has been made . i 'm not gon na change my mind . stephanie : you 're upset . you 're angry because ridge pulled the plug . eric : well , yes , i am . that ca n't possibly surprise you . what i 'm angry about is that nobody else in this family bothered to even tell me about it . stephanie : oh , that has n't got anything to do with anything . eric : i could have been killed , stephanie . i could have been killed . stephanie : oh , stop it , eric . you had no idea the hopelessness that we felt . they -- they put you on that ventilator . they shoved that tube down your throat . i know exactly how ridge felt . he thought you were suffering unnecessarily . and the picture that you 've been given is absolutely inaccurate . he was n't trying to get rid of you . my god , there could n't be anything further from the truth . eric : i 'm not trying to hurt ridge . i offered him the co - presidency with rick , and he was too arrogant to even consider it . stephanie : well , what would you expect after all the promises you 've made to him ? eric : stephanie , rick is my son , too . stephanie : i understand that . well , what about this miraculous recovery ? i mean , suppose ridge is right . suppose it 's some kind of con game . eric : oh , for god 's sake . not you , too . stephanie : please , if you need to bond with rick , if you feel that guilty , then take him someplace on a fishing trip . but do n't turn over the reigns of the company to him . eric : the offer to be co - president with rick is still on the table . that offer is still there . stephanie : that 's like a slap in the face . rick : oh , thank you . sorry to interrupt , but we have to get started . stephanie , what the hell are you doing here ? stephanie : trying to talk some sense into my husband . this is absolutely absurd . rick : um , well , i 'm sorry , but we do have to get started . eric : listen , i can put up with ridge 's ego and his occasional , uh , temper tantrum . i can even forgive him for disconnecting my life support , but what i can not forgive is this accusation that rick is somehow faking his injuries . now he 's making a brave , courageous comeback here , and i will not have that belittled . stephanie : no one is belittling rick . but what you are doing is a tremendous mistake . it 's something that you will regret to the day you die . i 'm begging you , please do not do this to your family . do n't do this to our son .Summarize.[/INST]thorne does n't take rick 's new promotion to president of forrester creations too well . it 's a pity promotion , and ridge will answer to rick now . jake sets everything up for the press conference announcement with marcus watching . eric tells rick that it is his time to shine and he 's very proud of him . ridge decides to do his designing at home . he relays to brooke and stephanie that this is all an act , a miraculous recovery by rick just to get ridge thrown out of brooke 's house . stephanie vows she will speak to eric . brooke is torn , caught between fiancee and son . she tells ridge that she wishes he and rick could work together . she will make her statement for the ipod very clear . steffy tells taylor of the new development and taylor shows up for ridge 's support . he is sure brooke wo n't let him down . she knows rick is not really the heir apparent . brooke gives her love and support to rick before the announcement . stephanie confronts eric and states that this company already has a president , and that is her son , ridge . they quarrel over the fact that no one told him about ridge pulling the plug . he 's not trying to hurt ridge , he offered him the co - presidency , but ridge declined . just before the announcement , she begs eric not to do this to the family , not to their son .</s> | 5,894 |

ben : yes ! look , the wiring in that place , it was -- it was terrible . the fire could 've been an accident . ciara : yeah , okay , but would n't the fire marshal have seen that , ben ? ben : i guess . ciara : i want to believe you ... god , i really do . but i also really , really do n't want to get played again . trusting guys has n't really worked out that well for me . ben : i know what it 's like to find out you 've been lied to . and when i tell you that i would never ever hurt you ... it is the god 's honest truth . abigail : this baby in no way changes how i feel about stefan . he disgusts me . the only man i will ever love is chad . i just ... do n't know how he 's ever gon na accept this child . gabi : well , did he say anything before he left ? abigail : he said that he is afraid every time he sees this baby that he will be reminded of me in bed with his brother . gabi : [ sighs ] that 's a tough one . abigail : yeah . you 're telling me . gabi : yeah , but it was n't you . it was gabby with a y . abigail : boy , dr . laura stole your freedom and gabby stole your name . my alters did a number on you . did n't they ? gabi : chad must know that you 'd never sleep with stefan . abigail : i think he 's just afraid . i mean ... he 's afraid because now gabby 's memories are my memories , and he 's worried that i 'll feel some kind of pull toward stefan , especially now i 'm ... i mean , i 'm carrying his child . gabi : and what did you say to that ? abigail : i said that the pregnancy makes me hate stefan even more than i already did . but i just -- i do n't know if chad believes me . stefan : i know how hard this must be for you , chad , me gloating in there like that . i should not have done that . it was wrong . yeah , i should have thought about how i would feel if i found out that abigail was having your baby . chad : she was -- she was sick , and you took advantage of her . stefan : oh , come on now . we both know that i did n't force myself on gabby , who , mind you , is now a part of abigail . right ? look , we can keep beating each other up if you want , but that 's not gon na change the fact that your wife and i are having a child together . ted : did i miss telling you i liked it rough ? because i thought our slapping days were over . kate : this maniac that you 're you 're now defending tried to kill my grandson . and in my mind , that makes you eminently slap - able . ted : mm . but your grandson 's fine now . kate : no ! no , he 's not fine . he still does n't have his memory back . he lost his family . we thought he was dead . we buried him . we had a funeral . we grieved for him . he was my first grandchild . he has a very special place in my heart . and this man , this ben weston after he finished doing his very best to suffocate will , he stuffed his body in a duffel bag , and he dragged him off to the place where he was found ! ted : phew ! so if i do n't drop ben as my client ... this is just it for us ? kate : [ laughs ] i do n't know . i do n't know . but i do know that will is blood . and i know that i will stop anyone who tries to hurt my family . will : you 're right . why do n't they say what they want ? and i thought cut - out letters went out with black and white movies . sonny : in the old movies , they would do that so no one would recognize the handwriting . or be able to match a messed up key from a typewriter . will : yeah , no one uses typewriters anymore . they could 've just printed this out . it 's like they 're trying to be dramatic . sonny : if someone actually saw us put his body in his trunk , they do n't have to work very hard to be dramatic . will : that 's true . maybe they 're enjoying torturing us . sonny : wait a minute . will : what ? sonny : what you just said . i think i know who left that for you . my mom 's pain from will : i 'm -- i 'm -- i 'm waiting . who do you think it was ? sonny : what if it was leo ? will : uh , have you forgotten that leo is dead ? sonny : have you forgotten people thought you were dead ? will : sonny , i checked him more than once . he did not have a pulse . sonny : yeah , but we were -- we were freaking out , okay ? and you 're not a medical examiner . what if he was just unconscious and then he came to in the trunk of the car ? will : and then what ? he unlocked it from the inside ? sonny : it 's not impossible . what if he 's doing this to screw with us ? will : we need to get this dusted for prints . leo was an ' escort ' ... he had a record , so i mean , his prints have to be in the system , right ? sonny : i know who would do it for us in a heartbeat . will : no , forget it . sonny : will ... will : no , i do not want paul involved ... this has to stay between us . ted : kate , i 'm sorry . i owe you an apology . i took ben on as a client without thinking what that would do to you . kate : so you 'll drop him ? ted : i 'm sorry , but like i told you , everyone is entitled to a defense . and i 'm a good lawyer . kate : [ sighs ] that 's really not what i wanted to hear . ted : ben is innocent until proven guilty . and as now , the police does n't have a case against him . even if i do n't like the guy , i 'm not gon na tell him to get another lawyer . if that is a deal breaker for you , we can go our separate ways . well ... it was fun while it lasted . kate : i 'm serious . if you do anything that ends up hurting will ... ted : no . abigail : chad and i have gotten through so much together , but this ... i mean , this is different . this is my child ... this baby 's gon na be a part of our lives from now on . and how the hell do you get over that ? gabi : right . i mean , that 's why i mentioned maybe you should just have told chad that it was his from the first place . abigail : [ stammers ] i do n't even know how to live with a lie that big . i can't . gabi : i know . i know . i just -- all i know is that chad loves you as much as any man has loved a woman . i mean , any man that i 've ever seen . and i think you just have to have faith , abigail , okay ? that he 's gon na calm down and that he 's gon na learn to accept your child . chad : [ stammers ] do you have any idea how hard it is to be a father ? yeah , you walk around in circles for hours just to get 'em to stop crying you know , you 're willing to give your life for 'em just to see a smile . stefan , you do n't want a child . you want a souvenir . all right ? gabby is n't real . all right ? but i 'm ... i 'm betting my wife is . abby , she 's real . stefan : oh , no . i see what you 're doing there . but no , you 're absolutely right . i do n't know what it feels like . but i intend to be the father that i never had . you understand ? gabby may be gone , but she lives on through that child . chad : and what if she gets rid of it ? stefan : [ laughs ] well , if you 've talked to her , and i assume that you have , then you would know that that 's not happening . you need to accept that , chad . i hope that you do . but right now , i do n't know . because you keep going on and on about this great love you have with abigail . but yet , i come here and find you drinking alone at the bar while your wife is at home alone . i mean , is that what a loving husband does to his pregnant wife ? friends , colleagues , chad : what happens between abby and me will be none of your business . stefan : uh , yeah , that 's where we 're gon na have to disagree a little bit . out of respect , i must ask that you not upset the mother of my child . chad : speaking of mothers , your mother is n't around to save you anymore . you really want to do this again ? stefan : no . no , you 're right . i -- i ca n't be getting into fist fights anymore . i 'm gon na be a father . abigail : you know , it means a lot that we can talk like this . gabi : yeah , it means a lot to me too . and any time you want to talk or vent or anything , i 'm here for you . and i know you 'd do the same for me . abigail : yeah , absolutely . gabi : take care . abigail : okay . see you . ben : i 'm sorry you even got dragged into this mess . ciara : i did n't get dragged in . i skidded in on my motorcycle and busted my leg . and if i had n't done that , you probably would 've been long gone from here . ben : no . i 'm glad i got to take care of you . first time in a long time i felt like a decent human being . and if it were n't for you , i would n't have this hotshot lawyer . ciara : well , maybe that makes us even . ben : yeah . we 're square . you should probably get going . ciara : do you , um ... need any money for a hotel or -- ben : no , no , no . i 'll be okay . ciara : it 's really not that big of a deal for me . i 'm a trust fund baby . so ... ben : it 's okay ; thank you . ciara : good night then . ben : good night . ciara : night . hope : do you have the pharmacist 's statement about when ben got there ? rafe : mm . right here . hope : thanks . rafe : do you want the last spring roll ? well , technically it 's yours . hope : go for it . rafe : all right . trying to poke a hole in ben 's alibi ? hope : his story works if he walked into town and back like he said -- but if he hitched a ride to the pharmacy , then -- rafe : then he was able to start the fire and get his prescription filled . hope : and he had enough time to get back to watch ciara and the cabin go up in flames . rafe : you know what ? it stands to reason that pharmacy has a security camera in the parking lot . maybe we will get lucky and catch ben on tape . hope : rafe ? rafe : yeah ? hope : thanks . rafe : my pleasure . rafe : there 's still some sticky rice . you 're the one that loves it . hope : rafe . rafe : i 'll call the pharmacy . hope : hey . everything you 've done since ciara went missing ... rafe : i love her . i love her . she 's -- she 's a good kid . hope : thank you . rafe : yeah . pharmacy number on that statement ? hope : there you go . ciara : [ sighs ] stefan : i got good news today .

[ paper crinkling ] `` i know what you and sonny did . `` oh my god . ted : i just checked with salem p.d . the d.a . may have forced them to let you go , but you 're still under suspicion for trying to murder ciara brady . and that means you can not leave town . ben : i bet they have n't even started looking for anybody else yet because they 're determined to pin this on me . i did n't do it . i would never hurt ciara . ted : i know . i know you already said that to the police , but -- ben : yeah , no . it 's the truth . ted : look , the fire marshal report said it could have been arson , but that 's all . that 's all the police have . now , you heard them . they are convinced it was arson ... and the person who set that fire can only be you . ciara : ben swears he would n't hurt me , mom . hope : ben is a pathological liar , ciara . rafe : and what else is he gon na say ? ciara : okay , i am too tired to do this right now . i am gon na go home . hope : well , i 'll drive you . ciara : what , so you can sound off to me about ben the entire way ? no , thank you . rafe : okay , i 'll have a squad car take you home . ciara : oh , the neighbors would love to see me hobbling out of a police car . i 'll just go to the square and take a cab . it 's fine . hope : honey , please . ben is still out there . ciara : only because you do n't have enough to keep him in jail -- hope : but that does n't mean that he 's innocent . rafe : he 's probably gon na reach out to you . hope : ciara , please . be careful . ciara : i will . abigail : chad , it 's me . can you please just call me ? please ?

[ phone rings ] some -- yes . sometimes it works . sometimes it ends up working . i do n't know how this -- abigail : you were dead set against me having an abortion . gabi : i was . you know why i was . because i had just heard news that i probably ca n't have any more kids -- abigail : so were you hoping stefan would find me and stop me ? gabi : [ scoffs ] okay . okay . you know what ? maybe i was . maybe i was , abigail . because -- because i am worried about you , okay ? i mean , once you found out that this baby was stefan 's , you rushed to that clinic . you did n't even give it enough time to think about it . to think that maybe you 're making a mistake that you 're gon na regret later on in your life . and you know what ? my instincts were right , because you changed your mind . so i 'm guessing that stefan must 've gotten to you somehow . abigail : i do n't -- i do n't know how it hap -- all i know is , i realized i could n't have an abortion . i came home , and i told chad the truth and now i do n't know where he is . i think i might have lost him -- oh , god . gabi : what 's the matter ? what 's going on ? abigail : oh , god , i feel sick . chad : get up . stefan : god , not again . hope : i ca n't believe it . i -- i -- i can not believe this . my own daughter hired an attorney to defend a man who killed three women in cold blood . rafe : ciara 's ... she 's vulnerable right now . hope : and ben knows it , and he 's using it ! he 's -- he 's playing her . he 's totally playing her . you know that , rafe . just like he played abigail when she was pregnant with thomas ! what ? why are you -- what ? i know this . rafe : amazing how much she reminds me of you . hope : meaning ? careful how you answer that . rafe : because she 's tough but she 's smart . and she might not want to admit it to you , but i 'll bet she 's wondering if it was a mistake to trust ben . hope : [ sighs ] god , i hope -- i pray that you 're right . ted : look . i looked into my files , and i do n't have a number for you . ben : yeah . all i had was a temp phone , and i smashed it up . ted : why ? ben : just ran out of my meds . i got a little paranoid . ted : why did n't you get another phone ? ben : 'cause all i had left was the money that chad threw at me , and there 's not much of it left . those meds i take , they 're not cheap . and i have to have them . i do n't even know where i 'm gon na sleep tonight . ted : well , do n't look at me . ben : i was n't trying to make you feel sorry for me . i was explaining why i do n't have a phone . ted : ben , you have to stay out of trouble ... i mean it . you got ta be on your best behavior at least until i get this mess cleared up . your friend ciara , she 's paying my fee . maybe she can loan you some money . ben : no , no , i 'll figure something out . ted : all right . here 's my card . try to get in touch with me , okay ? ben : thank you again . ted : my pleasure . sonny : how did you get this ? will : someone slid it under my door . sonny : how could this happen ? we were alone here when i pushed leo . and that 's what they 're talking about , right ? when i pushed him , and that 's why he died ? will : i guess so . i do n't know . maybe someone saw us moving him . sonny : well , i better figure out who that someone is . for mild - to - moderate eczema , eucrisa will : look , i can help you figure this out . sonny : no , no . i do n't want you mixed up in this , okay ? i 'm the reason that leo 's dead . will : sonny ! you were trying to stop him from strangling me , okay ? i 'm in this just as much as you are . so we can figure this out . i mean , so do you think that the person who made this , is that the same person who made leo 's body disappear ? sonny : i do n't know . okay ? or what if someone knew he disappeared before the trial , and they 're stirring up trouble ? or what if they 're bluffing ? will : yeah , but then why deliver the letter to me then ? why would n't they deliver the letter to you ? sonny : that 's true . will : right ? sonny : yeah . will : i mean , i think i 'm right . you know , they -- maybe someone saw us with leo 's car . and then maybe they stole it . and then maybe they just opened the trunk . sonny : you know what 's really bothering me ? will : everything ? sonny : why does n't the letter say what they want ? ted : sorry i 'm late . kate : you are late . you have to take a look at the financial page . there 's a whole article about the sexual harassment suit and the fact that it was dismissed . and titan 's stock has rebounded , so chad is in like flynn . ted : you 're welcome . kate : anyway , i ordered dinner -- that 's for you -- but it 's probably cold , so -- ted : sorry i did n't call , but i just landed a pretty high profile client . kate : you did ? ted : yeah . kate : wow . do you mind me asking who ? ted : the name is ben weston . [ slaps ] kate : ben weston ? are you kidding me ? ciara : what are you doing here ? ben : i was just talking to my lawyer . he just left a minute ago . thank you again for hiring him . ciara : you already said that . ben : look , i know the fire marshal report said that it looks like somebody set that fire on purpose . but i swear to god to you , it was n't me . i had nothing to do with it . and i am sorry . i should have told you the honest truth from the beginning that i saw the report . and i just should 've told you that . ciara : you should have . ben : i was afraid you would n't trust me . but maybe now that it 's all over , maybe you 'll never trust me again . hope : ben weston is walking around free . i 'm gon na go back to the cabin . you know what ? there 's got ta be something else there that everyone else missed . rafe : no . you know as well as i do that forensics and the fire department searched every square inch of that place . they did n't find accelerant . they did n't find or anything that says that there was arson . hope : they 're not as motivated as i am . rafe : look , if ben said -- hope : no , `` if '' -- wait ! `` if `` ? `` if `` ? chloe : whoa , whoa , whoa ! guys ! guys ! if you want to beat the crap out of each other , please ... take it outside . gabi : how you doing ? abigail : oh , god . i know why they call it morning sickness . because it starts in the morning , and it just goes all day . gabi : yeah , when i was pregnant with arianna , the stress made it worse . abigail : god , i 'm in for it then . gabi : listen , i found these in the kitchen . i remember my doctor used to tell me never to leave my stomach too empty . abigail : i 'll try anything . gabi : yeah , the only down side was i gained ten pounds in my first trimester . abigail : i think my weight 's the least of my concerns . thank you . gabi : sure . abigail : look , it 's not lost on me that you 're helping me deal with morning sickness and you would give anything to have morning sickness . and i know that 's my fault . gabi : yeah , we all know that it was n't you in that courtroom . it 's what stefan did to you . i mean , he almost ruined both of our lives . abigail : you must really hate him . gabi : oh , i freaking hate his guts . but i mean , you 're the one that 's having his baby , so does that change how you feel about him ? john tyson 's motto was , hope : wait a minute . `` if `` ? are you saying you think that there 's a chance that ben did n't start the -- rafe : no . hope : well , then what are -- rafe : i am not saying that . hope : well , hear you -- rafe : and i know perfectly well what ben weston is capable of . for god 's sakes , he killed three women , one of which turned out to be my half - sister who i never got to know . so when i think of him , it makes me want to put my fist through a wall or his face . hope : of course it does . i 'm sorry . rafe : it 's okay . all i 'm saying is we do n't have enough to put him away ... yet . hope : i know . rafe : when was the last time you had something to eat ? hope : that is the last thing on my mind right now . rafe : oh , yeah ? what if i call up your favorite thai food place and i grab something to eat and you and i sit here and we go over these files and we figure out some way to put weston away ? hmm ? hope : well ... pad thai does sound kind of good , actually . rafe : okay . hope : but only if we could start with dessert ... first . ben : come sit down . ciara : if you did n't set that fire , ben , then who did ? hmm ? ben : ciara , all i know is i went to go fill my medication , and when i came back , the place was up in flames . ciara : [ sighs ] okay . you ran out of your meds when you left that night . so are you sure that you remember everything that you did ? ben : yes ! look , the wiring in that place , it was -- it was terrible . the fire could 've been an accident . ciara : yeah , okay , but would n't the fire marshal have seen that , ben ? ben : i guess . ciara : i want to believe you ... god , i really do . but i also really , really do n't want to get played again . trusting guys has n't really worked out that well for me . ben : i know what it 's like to find out you 've been lied to . and when i tell you that i would never ever hurt you ... it is the god 's honest truth . abigail : this baby in no way changes how i feel about stefan . he disgusts me . the only man i will ever love is chad . i just ... do n't know how he 's ever gon na accept this child . gabi : well , did he say anything before he left ? abigail : he said that he is afraid every time he sees this baby that he will be reminded of me in bed with his brother . gabi : [ sighs ] that 's a tough one . abigail : yeah . you 're telling me . gabi : yeah , but it was n't you . it was gabby with a y . abigail : boy , dr . laura stole your freedom and gabby stole your name . my alters did a number on you . did n't they ? gabi : chad must know that you 'd never sleep with stefan . abigail : i think he 's just afraid . i mean ... he 's afraid because now gabby 's memories are my memories , and he 's worried that i 'll feel some kind of pull toward stefan , especially now i 'm ... i mean , i 'm carrying his child . gabi : and what did you say to that ? abigail : i said that the pregnancy makes me hate stefan even more than i already did . but i just -- i do n't know if chad believes me . stefan : i know how hard this must be for you , chad , me gloating in there like that . i should not have done that . it was wrong . yeah , i should have thought about how i would feel if i found out that abigail was having your baby . chad : she was -- she was sick , and you took advantage of her . stefan : oh , come on now . we both know that i did n't force myself on gabby , who , mind you , is now a part of abigail . right ? look , we can keep beating each other up if you want , but that 's not gon na change the fact that your wife and i are having a child together . ted : did i miss telling you i liked it rough ? because i thought our slapping days were over . kate : this maniac that you 're you 're now defending tried to kill my grandson . and in my mind , that makes you eminently slap - able . ted : mm . but your grandson 's fine now . kate : no ! no , he 's not fine . he still does n't have his memory back . he lost his family . we thought he was dead . we buried him . we had a funeral . we grieved for him . he was my first grandchild . he has a very special place in my heart . and this man , this ben weston after he finished doing his very best to suffocate will , he stuffed his body in a duffel bag , and he dragged him off to the place where he was found ! ted : phew ! so if i do n't drop ben as my client ... this is just it for us ? kate : [ laughs ] i do n't know . i do n't know . but i do know that will is blood . and i know that i will stop anyone who tries to hurt my family . will : you 're right . why do n't they say what they want ? and i thought cut - out letters went out with black and white movies . sonny : in the old movies , they would do that so no one would recognize the handwriting . or be able to match a messed up key from a typewriter . will : yeah , no one uses typewriters anymore . they could 've just printed this out . it 's like they 're trying to be dramatic . sonny : if someone actually saw us put his body in his trunk , they do n't have to work very hard to be dramatic . will : that 's true . maybe they 're enjoying torturing us . sonny : wait a minute . will : what ? sonny : what you just said . i think i know who left that for you . my mom 's pain from will : i 'm -- i 'm -- i 'm waiting . who do you think it was ? sonny : what if it was leo ? will : uh , have you forgotten that leo is dead ? sonny : have you forgotten people thought you were dead ? will : sonny , i checked him more than once . he did not have a pulse . sonny : yeah , but we were -- we were freaking out , okay ? and you 're not a medical examiner . what if he was just unconscious and then he came to in the trunk of the car ? will : and then what ? he unlocked it from the inside ? sonny : it 's not impossible . what if he 's doing this to screw with us ? will : we need to get this dusted for prints . leo was an ' escort ' ... he had a record , so i mean , his prints have to be in the system , right ? sonny : i know who would do it for us in a heartbeat . will : no , forget it . sonny : will ... will : no , i do not want paul involved ... this has to stay between us . ted : kate , i 'm sorry . i owe you an apology . i took ben on as a client without thinking what that would do to you . kate : so you 'll drop him ? ted : i 'm sorry , but like i told you , everyone is entitled to a defense . and i 'm a good lawyer . kate : [ sighs ] that 's really not what i wanted to hear . ted : ben is innocent until proven guilty . and as now , the police does n't have a case against him . even if i do n't like the guy , i 'm not gon na tell him to get another lawyer . if that is a deal breaker for you , we can go our separate ways . well ... it was fun while it lasted . kate : i 'm serious . if you do anything that ends up hurting will ... ted : no . abigail : chad and i have gotten through so much together , but this ... i mean , this is different . this is my child ... this baby 's gon na be a part of our lives from now on . and how the hell do you get over that ? gabi : right . i mean , that 's why i mentioned maybe you should just have told chad that it was his from the first place . abigail : [ stammers ] i do n't even know how to live with a lie that big . i can't . gabi : i know . i know . i just -- all i know is that chad loves you as much as any man has loved a woman . i mean , any man that i 've ever seen . and i think you just have to have faith , abigail , okay ? that he 's gon na calm down and that he 's gon na learn to accept your child . chad : [ stammers ] do you have any idea how hard it is to be a father ? yeah , you walk around in circles for hours just to get 'em to stop crying you know , you 're willing to give your life for 'em just to see a smile . stefan , you do n't want a child . you want a souvenir . all right ? gabby is n't real . all right ? but i 'm ... i 'm betting my wife is . abby , she 's real . stefan : oh , no . i see what you 're doing there . but no , you 're absolutely right . i do n't know what it feels like . but i intend to be the father that i never had . you understand ? gabby may be gone , but she lives on through that child . chad : and what if she gets rid of it ? stefan : [ laughs ] well , if you 've talked to her , and i assume that you have , then you would know that that 's not happening . you need to accept that , chad . i hope that you do . but right now , i do n't know . because you keep going on and on about this great love you have with abigail . but yet , i come here and find you drinking alone at the bar while your wife is at home alone . i mean , is that what a loving husband does to his pregnant wife ? friends , colleagues , chad : what happens between abby and me will be none of your business . stefan : uh , yeah , that 's where we 're gon na have to disagree a little bit . out of respect , i must ask that you not upset the mother of my child . chad : speaking of mothers , your mother is n't around to save you anymore . you really want to do this again ? stefan : no . no , you 're right . i -- i ca n't be getting into fist fights anymore . i 'm gon na be a father . abigail : you know , it means a lot that we can talk like this . gabi : yeah , it means a lot to me too . and any time you want to talk or vent or anything , i 'm here for you . and i know you 'd do the same for me . abigail : yeah , absolutely . gabi : take care . abigail : okay . see you . ben : i 'm sorry you even got dragged into this mess . ciara : i did n't get dragged in . i skidded in on my motorcycle and busted my leg . and if i had n't done that , you probably would 've been long gone from here . ben : no . i 'm glad i got to take care of you . first time in a long time i felt like a decent human being . and if it were n't for you , i would n't have this hotshot lawyer . ciara : well , maybe that makes us even . ben : yeah . we 're square . you should probably get going . ciara : do you , um ... need any money for a hotel or -- ben : no , no , no . i 'll be okay . ciara : it 's really not that big of a deal for me . i 'm a trust fund baby . so ... ben : it 's okay ; thank you . ciara : good night then . ben : good night . ciara : night . hope : do you have the pharmacist 's statement about when ben got there ?

it stands to reason that pharmacy has a security camera in the parking lot . maybe we will get lucky and catch ben on tape . hope : rafe ? rafe : yeah ? hope : thanks . rafe : my pleasure . rafe : there 's still some sticky rice . you 're the one that loves it . hope : rafe . rafe : i 'll call the pharmacy . hope : hey . everything you 've done since ciara went missing ... rafe : i love her . i love her . she 's -- she 's a good kid . hope : thank you . rafe : yeah . pharmacy number on that statement ?

[ previously_on ] ashley : instead of fighting billy head - on ... kyle : which is n't working . ashley : i think we have to go back to my original plan , which is giving billy enough rope to hang himself while we carefully document every expensive and irresponsible decision that he makes . nick : i bought the leasing company that owns the properties where you 're planning to open your new stores . say hello to your new landlord . oh , yeah , this is , um ... rey . rey is a football fan . the round kind . rey , this is my fiancée sharon . maybe we 'll run into each other again . yeah , maybe . kyle : this is n't about billy ! he just happens to be phyllis ' man of the moment . that 's why you picked him . summer plans to show up at billy 's hotel room tonight to ... welcome him to philly . phyllis : so you think that summer is going to philadelphia with billy . ll , that 's not happening because she is going on a yoga retreat in madison to do yoga . kyle : i do n't know what to tell you . sure , maybe that was the plan before . but now ... i hate doing this . i hate how it sounds and it how it looks , but ... summer was n't interested in the trade show until ashley suggested billy go . now , all of a sudden , summer has to go to the philly , even though lauren is going and specifically told her not to , so ... phyllis : so ... ? kyle : so summer got her own ticket without telling anyone she 'll be there . and , yeah , it sucks , but we both know why she 's going . billy : hey , can i get a coffee , please ? summer : boo . billy : make that to - go please . hey . summer : hey . how 'd your meetings go ? billy : jaboutiques are on schedule . summer : that 's fantastic . you know , it 's a brilliant idea , one that i supported since the very beginning , unlike some people . billy : thank you . my schedule is tight , summer . summer : well , you all packed and ready to fly east for the trade show today ? billy : yeah . got to make it worth it , right ? summer : that is definitely the way to go . summer : i am headed back to the office now . you ? billy : i am busy all day . close - door kind of busy . excuse me , i need to talk to victoria . summer : okay , well , if i do n't see you before you leave , have a great trip . billy : thank you . hey . victoria : hi . billy : hi . um , i 'm glad i ran into you . i was actually just about to call you . victoria : why , is everything okay ? billy : yeah , everything 's fine . i ca n't do my saturday with the kids this weekend . i got to go out of town for business . victoria : oh . really ? you ca n't spend one day with your own children ? phyllis : summer 's going to philadelphia , according to you . kyle : i think summer follows billy around like a groupie . everything he does is brilliant and amazing , and ... `` he knows what women like her want . `` phyllis : she said that ? what does that mean ? do you think that billy is ... ? kyle : is it a two - way street ? phyllis : just say it already . kyle : [ sighs ] summer said billy has a hard time keeping his hands off her . whether they already have or haven't ... summer does n't know how to back off or give up . when she wants something , especially something she ca n't have , she 's not gon na stop until she has her way . additional sponsorship nick : associates keep asking to video conference with me . i can not do it sitting on this couch . sharon : maybe the kitchen ? or christian 's room with all the stuffed animals taking notes . [ chuckles ] could you -- nick : oh ! sorry . the dark horse offices are gon na be done soon , and then i will be off this couch and out of your way . sharon : it 's true . you wo n't be working from home soon , with all the perks that involves . nick : perks ? sharon : yeah , like random hugs from your preschooler , one - word answers from your tween about her day , and ... seeing me . nick : seeing you ? sharon : in the bedroom . 30 seconds . victoria : [ sighs ] why do n't you just send me an e - mail , and i 'll work out the scheduling ? billy : i 'm sorry about the short notice , okay ? it 's this trade show in philadelphia , which i 'm sure you 've been to , and it was a last - minute decision to go . victoria : when you made this decision , did you think about your kids ? or me and my schedule and my expectations ? i do n't suppose it occurred to you that i had plans this saturday , things that i needed to take care of , that i ca n't do any other day of the week ? no , of course not because you 're so big and important , and -- and my life is just an afterthought . billy : that 's not it at all . okay ? look , i 'm sorry , i know you need some time for yourself , i get that . victoria : no , i do n't need time for myself . these are things that i need to take care of that i ca n't do from the office . billy : i understand . i do . it 's just this c.e.o . gig , and everybody -- victoria : oh , yes , yes , yes ! the c.e.o . gig . really , it 's a big deal . yes , you 're a c.e.o . now , and your job is more important than anyone else 's , certainly more important than mine . oh , plus , i have the kids all the time because you decided to move in with your girlfriend and her daughter instead of getting your own house with a backyard where our kids can play , and their own bedrooms . so the kids are with me now . and i ca n't just hand them off to the nanny because they need one of us , which means it 's got to be me . if i 'm at work , the kids suffer , and i 'm with the kids , then work suffers . billy : you 're right . not about the kids . the kids are amazing , and that is because of you , and i am sorry , okay ? i apologize . when i get home from this trip , i give you my word that i will spend more time with them . nobody should have that much pressure on them , okay ? nobody . victoria : i 'm not cracking , if that 's what you 're implying . i am fine . billy : i 'm not . of course i 'm not . look , maybe this weekend , just for this weekend -- i ca n't believe i 'm gon na say this -- but maybe they should go stay with nikki and victor . victoria : i told you ! i will be fine . what choice do i have ? kyle : should i , um ... do you want me to leave ? phyllis : do i want you to leave , after dropping a bomb like that on me ? sure . you run along now . kyle : i 'm sorry . i know it 's not easy . phyllis : billy ca n't keep his hands off my daughter , according to summer , which , to me , sounds a heck of a lot like wishful thinking on her part . kyle : you 're right . it does . i 'm probably way off - base and should have kept it to myself , and summer 's plans are probably just that -- her plans -- and billy has no idea . they probably did n't arrange all this together . phyllis : maybe . you think he 's sneaking behind my back ? lying to my face about what he 's doing and who he 's doing it with ? you think that 's the kind of relationship billy and i have ? well , what am i saying ? you think that that 's what i 'm doing . because you think i deserve everything i 'm getting right now because of that one night -- that one night that was none of your business . kyle : look , this is n't me passing judgment on your personal life . i do n't know what 's going on . i just know summer behaves like an idiot around billy , who 's not an idiot , so he 's probably noticed . is the type that would act on it ? you know better than i do . maybe he 's the world 's most faithful partner and i should have kept my mouth shut . phyllis : but you didn't . why ? it 's not like we 're exactly great pals . kyle : my future 's at jabot . i do n't want summer making trouble for billy and , in turn , the company . what ? phyllis : [ chuckles ] this is not about the job . this is about my daughter . you want her back , do n't you ? kyle : honestly ? i think she 's a mess , and i 'd be insane to want her back . phyllis : that 's not exactly a `` no . `` summer was obsessed with you once upon a time . so do something . get her back . and then both of you can get the hell away from my relationship with billy . nick : thank you for that excellent distraction . sharon : [ giggles ] the perks of working from home . nick : yeah . i need this . time with you . i keep saying that i am not gon na let work get in the way of living my life . the reason i started dark horse was to look out for my family . sharon : and that 's not true ? nick : no , i mean , it is . it 's just this time with me and the company -- it 's absolutely crazy . sharon : well , starting a new business is always intense . nick : which leads me back to the thank - you . i need this , to be with you , you know ? it 's a reminder of what all this is for , that all these long hours are gon na be worth it . for both of us . you 're with me , right ? sharon : always . whatever makes you happy . and one thing we could take off your plate -- the search for a new home . just set that aside . it 's one less thing to worry about . billy : no . summer : no , what ? billy : no you . come on . out of my chair , out of my office , away from my desk . summer : okay , then where do you want me ? billy : is this fun for you ? you play your games , i get pissed off ... summer : and what else do you get ? billy : see ? exactly . over and over again , we just keep going around and around . summer : well , you closed the door instead of throwing me out . billy : summer , you act like we 're in some sort of intense relationship , but we 're not . you 're just a girl flirting with your mother 's boyfriend . summer : you do n't think that this is all about my mom , do you ? do n't sell yourself short . billy : i do n't need my ego stroked . summer : you 're right . you know , the whole `` sex kitten `` thing , it 's just for entertainment purposes only . billy , really , i just like you . you 're funny . you 're dark , driven . and you play just as hard as you work , and you would n't want to change any of that . and i would n't want you to , and that 's why you like me . i see you for you . i do n't judge you . i do n't have rules and restrictions . i mean , your current girlfriend ... billy : your mother . summer : she threw you out for no reason . is that what you really want ? to walk on eggshells with the person that claims to love you ? okay , it was rhetorical . but if i were you , i would spend some time in the city of love to think about what i really want . billy : it 's brotherly love . it 's the city of brotherly love , not what you 're pulling right here . it 's not the same thing . summer : i think you 'll find what you really want , and that 's not my mom . phyllis : summer . what are you doing here ? nikki : victoria , did you see the most recent shipping numbers on this -- victoria ? honey ? victoria : what -- what happened ? nikki : no , no , nothing happened . everything is fine . you fell asleep . victoria : oh . what if it had been someone else ? what if -- what if my assistant walked in here , or dad ? nikki : well , it wasn't . it was just me , and everything is fine . victoria : [ groans ] god , mom , please do n't tell dad . nikki : no , of course i won't . victoria : i had a rough night because of katie . she had a bad dream , and when i finally got her back to bed , i could n't get back to sleep . i was wide awake . nikki : you know what you 're going to do right now ? you 're gon na go home and get some rest . victoria : mom ... nikki : i will cover for you here and with your father . victoria : please , mom , do n't be ridiculous . i just need to get some coffee . nikki : honey , i do n't know that caffeine the answer . when is the last time you had a physical ? and you do n't have to have nate do it if you do n't want to -- victoria : wait a second . look , i know that you find him helpful , truly , but you and dad , you have chronic health issues . i just need to get a good night 's rest , that 's it . that 's all . i do n't need some doctor with a god complex pretending like he knows me . it 's insulting . he 's always hovering and judging . [ sighs ] i got enough of that from j.t . the last thing i need is to have it from a perfect stranger . nikki : but j.t . is on your mind , is n't he ? i mean , when you saw reed , i 'm sure the two of you -- victoria : mom ! this has nothing to do with j.t . phyllis : did you need billy 's help with something ? is it the synergy project with kyle ? you must be done with that by now . summer : almost . just finalizing the details , like the cherry on the sundae kind of thing . phyllis : and that 's what you needed billy for ? finishing touches ? billy : summer came by to talk logistics , but she did n't need to because she knows where i stand . summer : it 's true . billy is great at making a call . it 's like a primal instinct with him . billy : so we 're good , then . summer : yep . i should let you go . i know that you have to head out later for the trade show , and i hope it 's worth your time . billy : not a doubt in my mind . summer : then i 'll leave you to it . phyllis : bye - bye . summer : bye . phyllis : so ... [ telephone rings ] philadelphia . billy : one second . billy abbott . whoa , whoa , whoa . slow down . that does n't make any sense . why would they -- no , i 'll handle it . phyllis : what was that all about ? billy : looks like nick and i have to have a little conversation . `` the young and the restless `` will continue . victoria : [ sighs ] nikki : i know you want me to walk away right now , but i ca n't do that when you 're like this . victoria : like what ? trying to do my job ? you 're not just visiting the office , either , mom . you have projects , too . so can we please just both get back to work ? nikki : honey , i can see it in your face whenever we talk about j.t . it 's like you 're starting to close in on yourself , and the tension and the anxiety , it 's all there , and it 's not a surprise , considering the way he treated you , and then the way things ended ... victoria : mom , why would you bring that up ? what good does it do ? we ca n't change it . we ca n't undo it . it 's always gon na be there . he 's always gon na be there at the park , and none of it 's ever gon na go away . nikki : it eats away at me , too . i talk to your father , i talk to nate about my ms flare - ups , and they ask me about my stress , and i have all the right answers . i know why my body is rebelling , because i know what i did and what i put you through , what i put the others through . i just have to keep this secret going by telling endless lies . victoria : mom , would you stop ? talking about it does n't help . maybe you think that i 'm spiraling because you are . we can do this , mom . we have to do this . we have our jobs , our families , our lives . you ca n't let j.t . get the better of you . not after everything that we 've been through . and i ca n't let him , either . i refuse to let j.t . win . nick : thank you . sharon : mm - hmm . nick : what are you doing with the rest of your day ? sharon : um , i have some errands , and then i think i 'm gon na go home . nick : hmm . okay . billy : excuse me , can i speak to my , uh , new landlord , please ? sharon : i 'm sorry , i do n't understand . nick : dark horse made a new acquisition -- a leasing company . billy : who just happens to be doing business with jabot . huge business . 30 retail properties , nick . you think that would generate some level of respect , at least ethical business practices , but , no , you jack up the rent before i even start my build - out . nick : billy , you must have run the comps before you made the deal . those rents were too low across the board . why do you think it was so easy for me to acquire the company ? the company was floundering . billy : yeah , we got a good deal , in writing , otherwise known as a lease . so you start jacking up these rents overnight , you ca n't do that , man , and if you do , congratulations , you just got your company 's first lawsuit . nick : yeah ? what are you gon na do , throw a bunch of money at lawyers ? i can only imagine how much you 've spent on leases and renovations . look , as the new owner , dark horse is completely within its rights to increase rent . so , billy , just pay the bump . sharon : i think i 'm gon na go and clean the patio . can i trust that you two wo n't end up with black eyes again ? nick : yeah , no punches are gon na be throw . right , billy ? because he knows it 's just business , and if he does n't like it , he can go somewhere else . sharon : i mean it . no fighting in my coffeehouse . billy : why ? because i got to say , it feels like you 're just throwing your weight around . is it because of victoria ? i mean , is this some kind of belated payback ? nick : you know , you were a lousy husband to my sister in like 100 ways . billy : [ chuckles ] nick : but i did n't wait this long just to say , `` bingo , i 'm gon na stick it to billy now . `` no . it 's business . and you know -- you know those properties are worth more than you were paying , and i 'm not taking a loss . it 's really that simple . so you 're either in or you 're out . it 's your call . billy : the new nick newman . just like daddy after all . phyllis : no , i ca n't hold . i ca n't -- i 'm on hold . roadside service ? phyllis : what ? is that who you 're talking to ? i parked next to you , noticed your flat . phyllis : well , and i 'd get it changed if someone would take my phone call . i would change it for you , and you would n't even have to scream at me . phyllis : you could change my tire ? sharon : rey , hello . you 're back . phyllis : you know this guy ? i 'm actually offering to change her tire . i 'm pretty good with cars , just so you know . phyllis : oh , well ... sharon : i can vouch for him , if that makes any difference . phyllis : uh , hi . yeah . no , i 'm here . i 'm here . an hour ? [ sighs ] well , you know what , i 'll tell you what , thank you anyway . okay , thank you for your help . does that offer still stand ? it should n't be a problem , as long as you have a spare . phyllis : [ sighs ] you know , i do n't usually trust strangers , but i am in a very big hurry . some pressing business . oh , i hope it 's not too serious . phyllis : i hope not , either . so , come on , i 'll show the way . okay . summer : oh , hey . if you want any souvenirs from philadelphia , let me know . not that i 'll have time to shop , really . kyle : because you 'll be so busy . gotcha . summer : you might want to have that fancy car of yours gassed up and ready to go 'cause i 'm gon na win that bet , and a few times over . kyle : there 's an image -- you and billy cruisin ' the buffets for the early- bird specials , him snoring by 9 : 30 . summer : why have a boy when you can have a man ? kyle : why date someone single when you chase your mom 's boyfriend ? summer : okay , the only one fixated on my mother here is you . so if you want to go give it a shot , have at it . she 'll be single soon , not that that really stopped her before . kyle : mm , better go grab your luggage . you have a wild night ahead of you . summer : have fun waxing my car . billy : jack . thanks for coming to meet me . jack : yeah , what 's up ? billy : your buddy nick and dark horse . i 'm sure you know , but he bought the leasing company that i confirmed to rent 30 spaces from for jaboutiques . now he , uh , decided to raise the rent . so you , as his right - hand man , i was hoping that you could talk him out of the idea . you know , jabot taking on that much extra capital kind of puts us behind the 8 ball straight out of the gate . jack : 30 locations all at once -- boy , that 's a pretty risk endeavor from the get - go . so maybe -- maybe this is a sign . maybe you should walk away . billy : walk away ? jack : yeah . i could speak to nick , make sure there are no penalties for breaking your lease , since the terms changed . billy : oh . you 'd do that for me ? jack : well , yeah , nick hired me for a reason . billy : because he listens to you . he trusts your advice . jack : he does . billy : [ clears throat ] let me ask you this , jack . did you tell him to buy the leasing company and then tell him to raise the rent so jabot would take a beating ? jack : actually , raising the rent was nick 's idea . i suggested he cancel the leases all together . billy : you 're a piece of work , are n't you ? all this because , what , you do n't sit at the table anymore , jack ? you left jabot . that was your decision . now you 're gon na try to blow up the entire company ? jack : i am protecting you and jabot from risks you ca n't afford to take . billy : give me a break , jack . jack : you want to open 30 shops at once ? problem is , you ca n't afford to make new products . so what is it you 're marketing at these boutiques ? an experience ? is it any different than the experience a shopper would have at the jabot counter at fenmore 's ? someone along the way should have told you no , billy . the fact that did n't happen says you have the wrong staff . or maybe they have the wrong leader . billy : i 'm the leader of jabot , jack , because of you . because of your ego and your stupid `` blood abbott `` clause . you put me there . so congratulations . ashley : hey . was that because of me ? jack : i did n't out you to him , if that 's what you 're asking . no , he pinned the whole rent increase on me , and i guess he 's not wrong . ashley : that 's not the entire story , is it ? because you were helping me . jack : i 'm helping the family business . ashley : billy 's not gon na see it that way . jack : oh , he 's all amped up on this launch . of course it has to be big and flashy with as much as stake as possible . that 's his addictive personality . he needs the high . first the yacht , now the stores . what else is billy gon na drag jabot into ? ashley : whatever it is , i 'll be there to stop him . i 'm not gon na let him destroy dad 's legacy . sharon : did you just change a stranger 's tire ? i had the time . sharon : you 're superhero material , you know that ? swoop in in the nick of time . i hope phyllis at least thanked you . she did , and then she peeled away . it was like she was on a mission , or something . sharon : well , coffee on the house , at least . i wo n't say no to that . sharon : [ chuckles ] so , how do you know so much about cars ? are you a mechanic ? nah . my dad was n't around a lot when we were kids , so i had to learn pretty quickly to keep the family mobile . sharon : mm . it 's good . besides , i do n't mind getting my hands dirty . especially if it 's for a friend of a friend . sharon : phyllis ? no . no , no . we are not friends . we tolerate each other , and even the tolerating is a recent thing . well , you seemed pretty pleasant with her back there . sharon : sometimes you have to put up with people . whether you want to or not . mm . phyllis : summer ! billy : [ sighs ] phyllis : what are you doing here ? billy : just grabbing my stuff before i take off . and , of course , stealing one more moment with you , to say goodbye . phyllis : you make that sound so final . billy : i 'll be back before you know it . phyllis : are you sure you have to go ? billy : it 's got to happen . i need this right now , for all kinds of reasons . summer : did billy leave ? phyllis : yeah , he did . so , you are off to madison , right ? summer : yep , all packed and ready to go . phyllis : great . you know what , let 's catch some dinner tonight . you know , you 're going to this yoga detox weekend . i 'm sure they 'll be just feeding you granola and avocados . summer : yeah , i 'll survive . phyllis : do you even like yoga ? i do n't know if i 've ever even see you take a class . summer : i just figured i 'd try something new . phyllis : oh , just a different experience , huh ? summer : exactly . phyllis : come back a whole new woman ? summer : that 's the plan . i 'm sorry i ca n't do dinner tonight . i got to get on the road . oh , i left my purse upstairs . kyle : glad i found you . i have some news . ashley : i do n't think this is exactly the best place to talk . kyle : billy left . gloria 's in the break room . ashley : okay , well , let 's make it fast . kyle : you remember that 30k repair billy had done on the jaboat ? the one he supposedly paid for and then got reimbursed for ? i called the repair company . it never happened . they did n't work on jaboat . ashley : so you mean billy provided a fake invoice to accounting , and they cut him a check . now , what would he need the money for ? kyle : i know from summer that around that time , billy was playing some high- stakes poker . maybe it was a buy - in or a gambling debt he needed to cover . ashley : unbelievable . kyle : so we nail him for embezzlement , or misuse of funds , then the board will have to give him the boot . ashley : mm , yeah . yeah , i do n't think it 's enough . i mean , it 's a very good start , but i think we need a little bit more . kyle : i have a feeling there 's plenty where that came from . ashley : mm - hmm . hey . billy : ah . you two . surprise , surprise . ashley : so , what you doing here ? i thought you 'd be on the way to the airport . billy : just forgot a few files . now that i got you here , ash ... you talk to jack ? did he fill you in on how i called him out for trying to screw us over the jaboutique leases ? you know , when i walked away , i thought to myself -- maybe jack had nothing to do with this . maybe it was you . i mean , he 's moved on , right ? he 's got this nice little job at dark horse , but you 're still here . so was it you that tried to screw us over ? ashley : i 'm loyal to this company , billy , no matter what you think . billy : loyal to the business . not to me . but i am the business . not that it 's my fault . it fell into my lap . but now i got to do the job of keeping everybody together at jabot . to make sure that we turn a profit , not rest on our laurels . it 's 2018 , and we 're barely in the 21st century , but i 'm gon na get us all there , dragging and kicking if i have to . you know why ? because i am the only abbott that is willing and able to do this job . so i 'll do it , no matter how much sabotage you throw my way . and you -- kyle . even though you 're a low player as far as these things go ... kyle : all i want is for jabot to succeed . billy : oh , that 's very sweet . did you teach him that ? that 's good . i ca n't believe i trusted you when you said you would support me as c.e.o . but at least now i know i ca n't trust anything that comes out of your mouth . i do n't even know why you 're here at jabot or why i agreed to bring you back . lock the door on the way out . sharon : and you 're right back on the sofa again . nick : i know . every time i try and get away , it just pulls me back in . sharon : no black eye after your talks with billy . that 's progress . nick : look , he 's a hothead and a jerk , and everything he touches falls apart . he ca n't help himself . that 's his problem . it 's not mine . it 's not yours . but if you 're worried about some battle royale , it 's not gon na happen . sharon : thank you . that 's a relief . there 's enough going on already . a lot of changes . nick : yeah . all good . especially the househunting . check it out . i bookmarked a bunch of places i think would be very cool for us . what i was thinking was while i 'm out of town with arturo , you could swing by and check them out , you know ? maybe take mariah and faith with you . see what they think . could be fun . sharon : uh , i do n't mind checking them out online , but it seems pointless to tour them without you . the move was your idea . nick : yeah , but this way , you can weed out the places that , you know , that do n't work for you . here 's the thing -- first and foremost , this home has to meet your standards , okay ? and i 'm not gon na go by and check out any place that is n't your favorite . this is your dream home , you and the kids . i 'm just along for the ride . and with the way dark horse is ramping up , my schedule is gon na get super tight , and i do n't want to hold you back . this way , you hit the ground running . the next chapter starts , and i do n't want to begin our married life living on my folks ' property . everything is changing for us , and it ca n't happen soon enough . otherwise , i 'm never gon na get off this couch . summer : well , this is fun . you 're gon na have the whole place to yourself this weekend . you should invite over lauren or go to the spa . treat yourself . you work hard . you deserve to have some fun this weekend . phyllis : mm . you 're very sweet . you 're very sweet . listen , do not pull any muscles twisting into any crazy positions this weekend , okay ? summer : all right , i will make sure to warm up first . phyllis : forgot something . you 're gon na need this to get on your flight to philadelphia . phyllis : looks like the only retreat you 're going to is the one with my boyfriend . | kyle told phyllis that summer was planning to meet billy in philadelphia . phyllis did n't think billy reciprocated summer 's interest in him . billy told victoria that he could n't take the kids on saturday . she lashed out at him for not pulling his weight with the kids . billy promised that would change . summer told billy that she accepted him for who he was , unlike phyllis . phyllis tried to talk to billy about his trip , but he was pulled away on business . sharon and nick had sex so she could show him the perks of working from home . nick felt that spending time with sharon reminded him what he was working so hard for . victoria fell asleep at her desk , and nikki was concerned that the jt situation was taking a toll . victoria was adamant that she was n't letting jt 's fate affect her . nick raised the rates on billy 's leases , and billy threatened to sue . nick said he had the right to increase the rent . billy asked jack to intervene with nick . jack revealed that he was the one who convinced nick to buy billy 's leases . sharon was impressed when rey changed phyllis 's tire . rey wrote down notes about the women in a notebook . phyllis found summer 's ticket to philadelphia and confronted her . kyle uncovered proof that billy had submitted a fake invoice to jabot and embezzled $ 30,000 . ashley did n't think it was enough to get billy removed from the ceo 's seat . billy accused ashley of asking jack to get nick to buy the leases .. nick asked sharon to tour some houses , because he wanted to move off the ranch before they got married . | <s>[INST] [ previously_on ] ashley : instead of fighting billy head - on ... kyle : which is n't working . ashley : i think we have to go back to my original plan , which is giving billy enough rope to hang himself while we carefully document every expensive and irresponsible decision that he makes . nick : i bought the leasing company that owns the properties where you 're planning to open your new stores . say hello to your new landlord . oh , yeah , this is , um ... rey . rey is a football fan . the round kind . rey , this is my fiancée sharon . maybe we 'll run into each other again . yeah , maybe . kyle : this is n't about billy ! he just happens to be phyllis ' man of the moment . that 's why you picked him . summer plans to show up at billy 's hotel room tonight to ... welcome him to philly . phyllis : so you think that summer is going to philadelphia with billy . ll , that 's not happening because she is going on a yoga retreat in madison to do yoga . kyle : i do n't know what to tell you . sure , maybe that was the plan before . but now ... i hate doing this . i hate how it sounds and it how it looks , but ... summer was n't interested in the trade show until ashley suggested billy go . now , all of a sudden , summer has to go to the philly , even though lauren is going and specifically told her not to , so ... phyllis : so ... ? kyle : so summer got her own ticket without telling anyone she 'll be there . and , yeah , it sucks , but we both know why she 's going . billy : hey , can i get a coffee , please ? summer : boo . billy : make that to - go please . hey . summer : hey . how 'd your meetings go ? billy : jaboutiques are on schedule . summer : that 's fantastic . you know , it 's a brilliant idea , one that i supported since the very beginning , unlike some people . billy : thank you . my schedule is tight , summer . summer : well , you all packed and ready to fly east for the trade show today ? billy : yeah . got to make it worth it , right ? summer : that is definitely the way to go . summer : i am headed back to the office now . you ? billy : i am busy all day . close - door kind of busy . excuse me , i need to talk to victoria . summer : okay , well , if i do n't see you before you leave , have a great trip . billy : thank you . hey . victoria : hi . billy : hi . um , i 'm glad i ran into you . i was actually just about to call you . victoria : why , is everything okay ? billy : yeah , everything 's fine . i ca n't do my saturday with the kids this weekend . i got to go out of town for business . victoria : oh . really ? you ca n't spend one day with your own children ? phyllis : summer 's going to philadelphia , according to you . kyle : i think summer follows billy around like a groupie . everything he does is brilliant and amazing , and ... `` he knows what women like her want . `` phyllis : she said that ? what does that mean ? do you think that billy is ... ? kyle : is it a two - way street ? phyllis : just say it already . kyle : [ sighs ] summer said billy has a hard time keeping his hands off her . whether they already have or haven't ... summer does n't know how to back off or give up . when she wants something , especially something she ca n't have , she 's not gon na stop until she has her way . additional sponsorship nick : associates keep asking to video conference with me . i can not do it sitting on this couch . sharon : maybe the kitchen ? or christian 's room with all the stuffed animals taking notes . [ chuckles ] could you -- nick : oh ! sorry . the dark horse offices are gon na be done soon , and then i will be off this couch and out of your way . sharon : it 's true . you wo n't be working from home soon , with all the perks that involves . nick : perks ? sharon : yeah , like random hugs from your preschooler , one - word answers from your tween about her day , and ... seeing me . nick : seeing you ? sharon : in the bedroom . 30 seconds . victoria : [ sighs ] why do n't you just send me an e - mail , and i 'll work out the scheduling ? billy : i 'm sorry about the short notice , okay ? it 's this trade show in philadelphia , which i 'm sure you 've been to , and it was a last - minute decision to go . victoria : when you made this decision , did you think about your kids ? or me and my schedule and my expectations ? i do n't suppose it occurred to you that i had plans this saturday , things that i needed to take care of , that i ca n't do any other day of the week ? no , of course not because you 're so big and important , and -- and my life is just an afterthought . billy : that 's not it at all . okay ? look , i 'm sorry , i know you need some time for yourself , i get that . victoria : no , i do n't need time for myself . these are things that i need to take care of that i ca n't do from the office . billy : i understand . i do . it 's just this c.e.o . gig , and everybody -- victoria : oh , yes , yes , yes ! the c.e.o . gig . really , it 's a big deal . yes , you 're a c.e.o . now , and your job is more important than anyone else 's , certainly more important than mine . oh , plus , i have the kids all the time because you decided to move in with your girlfriend and her daughter instead of getting your own house with a backyard where our kids can play , and their own bedrooms . so the kids are with me now . and i ca n't just hand them off to the nanny because they need one of us , which means it 's got to be me . if i 'm at work , the kids suffer , and i 'm with the kids , then work suffers . billy : you 're right . not about the kids . the kids are amazing , and that is because of you , and i am sorry , okay ? i apologize . when i get home from this trip , i give you my word that i will spend more time with them . nobody should have that much pressure on them , okay ? nobody . victoria : i 'm not cracking , if that 's what you 're implying . i am fine . billy : i 'm not . of course i 'm not . look , maybe this weekend , just for this weekend -- i ca n't believe i 'm gon na say this -- but maybe they should go stay with nikki and victor . victoria : i told you ! i will be fine . what choice do i have ? kyle : should i , um ... do you want me to leave ? phyllis : do i want you to leave , after dropping a bomb like that on me ? sure . you run along now . kyle : i 'm sorry . i know it 's not easy . phyllis : billy ca n't keep his hands off my daughter , according to summer , which , to me , sounds a heck of a lot like wishful thinking on her part . kyle : you 're right . it does . i 'm probably way off - base and should have kept it to myself , and summer 's plans are probably just that -- her plans -- and billy has no idea . they probably did n't arrange all this together . phyllis : maybe . you think he 's sneaking behind my back ? lying to my face about what he 's doing and who he 's doing it with ? you think that 's the kind of relationship billy and i have ? well , what am i saying ? you think that that 's what i 'm doing . because you think i deserve everything i 'm getting right now because of that one night -- that one night that was none of your business . kyle : look , this is n't me passing judgment on your personal life . i do n't know what 's going on . i just know summer behaves like an idiot around billy , who 's not an idiot , so he 's probably noticed . is the type that would act on it ? you know better than i do . maybe he 's the world 's most faithful partner and i should have kept my mouth shut . phyllis : but you didn't . why ? it 's not like we 're exactly great pals . kyle : my future 's at jabot . i do n't want summer making trouble for billy and , in turn , the company . what ? phyllis : [ chuckles ] this is not about the job . this is about my daughter . you want her back , do n't you ? kyle : honestly ? i think she 's a mess , and i 'd be insane to want her back . phyllis : that 's not exactly a `` no . `` summer was obsessed with you once upon a time . so do something . get her back . and then both of you can get the hell away from my relationship with billy . nick : thank you for that excellent distraction . sharon : [ giggles ] the perks of working from home . nick : yeah . i need this . time with you . i keep saying that i am not gon na let work get in the way of living my life . the reason i started dark horse was to look out for my family . sharon : and that 's not true ? nick : no , i mean , it is . it 's just this time with me and the company -- it 's absolutely crazy . sharon : well , starting a new business is always intense . nick : which leads me back to the thank - you . i need this , to be with you , you know ? it 's a reminder of what all this is for , that all these long hours are gon na be worth it . for both of us . you 're with me , right ? sharon : always . whatever makes you happy . and one thing we could take off your plate -- the search for a new home . just set that aside . it 's one less thing to worry about . billy : no . summer : no , what ? billy : no you . come on . out of my chair , out of my office , away from my desk . summer : okay , then where do you want me ? billy : is this fun for you ? you play your games , i get pissed off ... summer : and what else do you get ? billy : see ? exactly . over and over again , we just keep going around and around . summer : well , you closed the door instead of throwing me out . billy : summer , you act like we 're in some sort of intense relationship , but we 're not . you 're just a girl flirting with your mother 's boyfriend . summer : you do n't think that this is all about my mom , do you ? do n't sell yourself short . billy : i do n't need my ego stroked . summer : you 're right . you know , the whole `` sex kitten `` thing , it 's just for entertainment purposes only . billy , really , i just like you . you 're funny . you 're dark , driven . and you play just as hard as you work , and you would n't want to change any of that . and i would n't want you to , and that 's why you like me . i see you for you . i do n't judge you . i do n't have rules and restrictions . i mean , your current girlfriend ... billy : your mother . summer : she threw you out for no reason . is that what you really want ? to walk on eggshells with the person that claims to love you ? okay , it was rhetorical . but if i were you , i would spend some time in the city of love to think about what i really want . billy : it 's brotherly love . it 's the city of brotherly love , not what you 're pulling right here . it 's not the same thing . summer : i think you 'll find what you really want , and that 's not my mom . phyllis : summer . what are you doing here ? nikki : victoria , did you see the most recent shipping numbers on this -- victoria ? honey ? victoria : what -- what happened ? nikki : no , no , nothing happened . everything is fine . you fell asleep . victoria : oh . what if it had been someone else ? what if -- what if my assistant walked in here , or dad ? nikki : well , it wasn't . it was just me , and everything is fine . victoria : [ groans ] god , mom , please do n't tell dad . nikki : no , of course i won't . victoria : i had a rough night because of katie . she had a bad dream , and when i finally got her back to bed , i could n't get back to sleep . i was wide awake . nikki : you know what you 're going to do right now ? you 're gon na go home and get some rest . victoria : mom ... nikki : i will cover for you here and with your father . victoria : please , mom , do n't be ridiculous . i just need to get some coffee . nikki : honey , i do n't know that caffeine the answer . when is the last time you had a physical ? and you do n't have to have nate do it if you do n't want to -- victoria : wait a second . look , i know that you find him helpful , truly , but you and dad , you have chronic health issues . i just need to get a good night 's rest , that 's it . that 's all . i do n't need some doctor with a god complex pretending like he knows me . it 's insulting . he 's always hovering and judging . [ sighs ] i got enough of that from j.t . the last thing i need is to have it from a perfect stranger . nikki : but j.t . is on your mind , is n't he ? i mean , when you saw reed , i 'm sure the two of you -- victoria : mom ! this has nothing to do with j.t . phyllis : did you need billy 's help with something ? is it the synergy project with kyle ? you must be done with that by now . summer : almost . just finalizing the details , like the cherry on the sundae kind of thing . phyllis : and that 's what you needed billy for ? finishing touches ? billy : summer came by to talk logistics , but she did n't need to because she knows where i stand . summer : it 's true . billy is great at making a call . it 's like a primal instinct with him . billy : so we 're good , then . summer : yep . i should let you go . i know that you have to head out later for the trade show , and i hope it 's worth your time . billy : not a doubt in my mind . summer : then i 'll leave you to it . phyllis : bye - bye . summer : bye . phyllis : so ... [ telephone rings ] philadelphia . billy : one second . billy abbott . whoa , whoa , whoa . slow down . that does n't make any sense . why would they -- no , i 'll handle it . phyllis : what was that all about ? billy : looks like nick and i have to have a little conversation . `` the young and the restless `` will continue . victoria : [ sighs ] nikki : i know you want me to walk away right now , but i ca n't do that when you 're like this . victoria : like what ? trying to do my job ? you 're not just visiting the office , either , mom . you have projects , too . so can we please just both get back to work ? nikki : honey , i can see it in your face whenever we talk about j.t . it 's like you 're starting to close in on yourself , and the tension and the anxiety , it 's all there , and it 's not a surprise , considering the way he treated you , and then the way things ended ... victoria : mom , why would you bring that up ? what good does it do ? we ca n't change it . we ca n't undo it . it 's always gon na be there . he 's always gon na be there at the park , and none of it 's ever gon na go away . nikki : it eats away at me , too . i talk to your father , i talk to nate about my ms flare - ups , and they ask me about my stress , and i have all the right answers . i know why my body is rebelling , because i know what i did and what i put you through , what i put the others through . i just have to keep this secret going by telling endless lies . victoria : mom , would you stop ? talking about it does n't help . maybe you think that i 'm spiraling because you are . we can do this , mom . we have to do this . we have our jobs , our families , our lives . you ca n't let j.t . get the better of you . not after everything that we 've been through . and i ca n't let him , either . i refuse to let j.t . win . nick : thank you . sharon : mm - hmm . nick : what are you doing with the rest of your day ? sharon : um , i have some errands , and then i think i 'm gon na go home . nick : hmm . okay . billy : excuse me , can i speak to my , uh , new landlord , please ? sharon : i 'm sorry , i do n't understand . nick : dark horse made a new acquisition -- a leasing company . billy : who just happens to be doing business with jabot . huge business . 30 retail properties , nick . you think that would generate some level of respect , at least ethical business practices , but , no , you jack up the rent before i even start my build - out . nick : billy , you must have run the comps before you made the deal . those rents were too low across the board . why do you think it was so easy for me to acquire the company ? the company was floundering . billy : yeah , we got a good deal , in writing , otherwise known as a lease . so you start jacking up these rents overnight , you ca n't do that , man , and if you do , congratulations , you just got your company 's first lawsuit . nick : yeah ? what are you gon na do , throw a bunch of money at lawyers ? i can only imagine how much you 've spent on leases and renovations . look , as the new owner , dark horse is completely within its rights to increase rent . so , billy , just pay the bump . sharon : i think i 'm gon na go and clean the patio . can i trust that you two wo n't end up with black eyes again ? nick : yeah , no punches are gon na be throw . right , billy ? because he knows it 's just business , and if he does n't like it , he can go somewhere else . sharon : i mean it . no fighting in my coffeehouse . billy : why ? because i got to say , it feels like you 're just throwing your weight around . is it because of victoria ? i mean , is this some kind of belated payback ? nick : you know , you were a lousy husband to my sister in like 100 ways . billy : [ chuckles ] nick : but i did n't wait this long just to say , `` bingo , i 'm gon na stick it to billy now . `` no . it 's business . and you know -- you know those properties are worth more than you were paying , and i 'm not taking a loss . it 's really that simple . so you 're either in or you 're out . it 's your call . billy : the new nick newman . just like daddy after all . phyllis : no , i ca n't hold . i ca n't -- i 'm on hold . roadside service ? phyllis : what ? is that who you 're talking to ? i parked next to you , noticed your flat . phyllis : well , and i 'd get it changed if someone would take my phone call . i would change it for you , and you would n't even have to scream at me . phyllis : you could change my tire ? sharon : rey , hello . you 're back . phyllis : you know this guy ? i 'm actually offering to change her tire . i 'm pretty good with cars , just so you know . phyllis : oh , well ... sharon : i can vouch for him , if that makes any difference . phyllis : uh , hi . yeah . no , i 'm here . i 'm here . an hour ? [ sighs ] well , you know what , i 'll tell you what , thank you anyway . okay , thank you for your help . does that offer still stand ? it should n't be a problem , as long as you have a spare . phyllis : [ sighs ] you know , i do n't usually trust strangers , but i am in a very big hurry . some pressing business . oh , i hope it 's not too serious . phyllis : i hope not , either . so , come on , i 'll show the way . okay . summer : oh , hey . if you want any souvenirs from philadelphia , let me know . not that i 'll have time to shop , really . kyle : because you 'll be so busy . gotcha . summer : you might want to have that fancy car of yours gassed up and ready to go 'cause i 'm gon na win that bet , and a few times over . kyle : there 's an image -- you and billy cruisin ' the buffets for the early- bird specials , him snoring by 9 : 30 . summer : why have a boy when you can have a man ? kyle : why date someone single when you chase your mom 's boyfriend ? summer : okay , the only one fixated on my mother here is you . so if you want to go give it a shot , have at it . she 'll be single soon , not that that really stopped her before . kyle : mm , better go grab your luggage . you have a wild night ahead of you . summer : have fun waxing my car . billy : jack . thanks for coming to meet me . jack : yeah , what 's up ? billy : your buddy nick and dark horse . i 'm sure you know , but he bought the leasing company that i confirmed to rent 30 spaces from for jaboutiques . now he , uh , decided to raise the rent . so you , as his right - hand man , i was hoping that you could talk him out of the idea . you know , jabot taking on that much extra capital kind of puts us behind the 8 ball straight out of the gate . jack : 30 locations all at once -- boy , that 's a pretty risk endeavor from the get - go . so maybe -- maybe this is a sign . maybe you should walk away . billy : walk away ? jack : yeah . i could speak to nick , make sure there are no penalties for breaking your lease , since the terms changed . billy : oh . you 'd do that for me ? jack : well , yeah , nick hired me for a reason . billy : because he listens to you . he trusts your advice . jack : he does . billy : [ clears throat ] let me ask you this , jack . did you tell him to buy the leasing company and then tell him to raise the rent so jabot would take a beating ? jack : actually , raising the rent was nick 's idea . i suggested he cancel the leases all together . billy : you 're a piece of work , are n't you ? all this because , what , you do n't sit at the table anymore , jack ? you left jabot . that was your decision . now you 're gon na try to blow up the entire company ? jack : i am protecting you and jabot from risks you ca n't afford to take . billy : give me a break , jack . jack : you want to open 30 shops at once ? problem is , you ca n't afford to make new products . so what is it you 're marketing at these boutiques ? an experience ? is it any different than the experience a shopper would have at the jabot counter at fenmore 's ? someone along the way should have told you no , billy . the fact that did n't happen says you have the wrong staff . or maybe they have the wrong leader . billy : i 'm the leader of jabot , jack , because of you . because of your ego and your stupid `` blood abbott `` clause . you put me there . so congratulations . ashley : hey . was that because of me ? jack : i did n't out you to him , if that 's what you 're asking . no , he pinned the whole rent increase on me , and i guess he 's not wrong . ashley : that 's not the entire story , is it ? because you were helping me . jack : i 'm helping the family business . ashley : billy 's not gon na see it that way . jack : oh , he 's all amped up on this launch . of course it has to be big and flashy with as much as stake as possible . that 's his addictive personality . he needs the high . first the yacht , now the stores . what else is billy gon na drag jabot into ? ashley : whatever it is , i 'll be there to stop him . i 'm not gon na let him destroy dad 's legacy . sharon : did you just change a stranger 's tire ? i had the time . sharon : you 're superhero material , you know that ? swoop in in the nick of time . i hope phyllis at least thanked you . she did , and then she peeled away . it was like she was on a mission , or something . sharon : well , coffee on the house , at least . i wo n't say no to that . sharon : [ chuckles ] so , how do you know so much about cars ? are you a mechanic ? nah . my dad was n't around a lot when we were kids , so i had to learn pretty quickly to keep the family mobile . sharon : mm . it 's good . besides , i do n't mind getting my hands dirty . especially if it 's for a friend of a friend . sharon : phyllis ?

the one he supposedly paid for and then got reimbursed for ? i called the repair company . it never happened . they did n't work on jaboat . ashley : so you mean billy provided a fake invoice to accounting , and they cut him a check . now , what would he need the money for ? kyle : i know from summer that around that time , billy was playing some high- stakes poker . maybe it was a buy - in or a gambling debt he needed to cover . ashley : unbelievable . kyle : so we nail him for embezzlement , or misuse of funds , then the board will have to give him the boot . ashley : mm , yeah . yeah , i do n't think it 's enough . i mean , it 's a very good start , but i think we need a little bit more . kyle : i have a feeling there 's plenty where that came from . ashley : mm - hmm . hey . billy : ah . you two . surprise , surprise . ashley : so , what you doing here ?

ashley : i 'm loyal to this company , billy , no matter what you think . billy : loyal to the business . not to me . but i am the business . not that it 's my fault . it fell into my lap . but now i got to do the job of keeping everybody together at jabot . to make sure that we turn a profit , not rest on our laurels . it 's 2018 , and we 're barely in the 21st century , but i 'm gon na get us all there , dragging and kicking if i have to . you know why ? because i am the only abbott that is willing and able to do this job . so i 'll do it , no matter how much sabotage you throw my way . and you -- kyle . even though you 're a low player as far as these things go ... kyle : all i want is for jabot to succeed . billy : oh , that 's very sweet . did you teach him that ?

maybe take mariah and faith with you . see what they think . could be fun . sharon : uh , i do n't mind checking them out online , but it seems pointless to tour them without you . the move was your idea . nick : yeah , but this way , you can weed out the places that , you know , that do n't work for you . here 's the thing -- first and foremost , this home has to meet your standards , okay ? and i 'm not gon na go by and check out any place that is n't your favorite . this is your dream home , you and the kids . i 'm just along for the ride . and with the way dark horse is ramping up , my schedule is gon na get super tight , and i do n't want to hold you back . this way , you hit the ground running . the next chapter starts , and i do n't want to begin our married life living on my folks ' property . everything is changing for us , and it ca n't happen soon enough . otherwise , i 'm never gon na get off this couch . summer : well , this is fun . you 're gon na have the whole place to yourself this weekend . you should invite over lauren or go to the spa . treat yourself . you work hard . you deserve to have some fun this weekend . phyllis : mm . you 're very sweet . you 're very sweet . listen , do not pull any muscles twisting into any crazy positions this weekend , okay ?

[ scene_break ] lulu : the only reason that i did n't tell you in the beginning is because maxie and i were n't sure that patrick really had a problem and we did n't want to start rumors and ... dante : well , it would n't be spreading rumors when you 're telling your concerns to the person you love and who would never betray your confidence . lulu : i just hope that you understand . dante : i - i do . i think . lulu : it 's not that i do n't trust you . dante : i know that . it 's just that this is n't ... the first time that you 've kept something from me recently . i think we have some issues on the back burner that -- that we need to deal with . lulu : okay . let 's go home .

[ exhales shakily ] i am sorry . sabrina : you just admitted that you 're a mobster . why should n't i turn you in ? carlos : because if you do , the person who shot me will find me , and he 'll finish the job . sonny : if you really think i 'm a mob kingpin , you need to stop talking , 'cause you 're really annoying me . dr. obrecht : you are avoiding the question . come now . it 's just us in here . why would you take the rap for someone else ? i know when i 've gone to extremes , it 's often been for my daughter 's sake . you have children , do n't you , mr. corinthos ? the only person i 'd willingly put myself behind bars for is my kin . how about you ? [ monitor beeping ] olivia : i guess i 'm gon na go in and visit max . you want to come with me ? morgan : uh , n - no . it just looks a little crowded in there . olivia : merry christmas , honey . i 'll tell max you were asking about him , okay ? morgan : okay . [ monitor beeping ] [ door opens ] michael : look , the jury found you not guilty . aj : [ scoffs ] jury . michael , they all thought that i was guilty , that i killed connie . you know , they just did n't have enough evidence to convict me . michael : exactly . there was reasonable doubt . and since you do n't even remember killing connie , maybe you should accept the fact that you did n't even do it . aj : it 's a nice sentiment . but that 's all it is -- it 's a sentiment , because if i did n't kill connie , who did ? ava : i brought presents for you and michael . kiki : i do n't want anything from you . ava : surely we can put our differences aside , at least for the holidays . kiki : you know , it was bad enough when i thought that you were just sleeping with morgan , but now i know you 're turning him into a killer . ava : who told you that ? what do you know ?

[ scene_break ] michael : we all know what nelle did , and we all know it was wrong , right ? we 've had to wade through the fallout . but so has nelle . look , she 's trying to turn her life around . she deserves credit for that , mom ! carly : you 're a good man . you are . you have a much more forgiving soul than i ever did . if someone ever hurt me , all i wanted to do was hurt them back . guess that 's why your dad and i got along so well . here 's what i know , michael . nelle set out to sabotage our family , and she succeeded . if you let her in , she 's gon na do the same thing to you . she will hurt you , michael . [ cell phone rings ] carly : hello ? sonny : carly ? it 's me . i have to see you right now . it 's important . carly : okay . i 'll be right there . sorry , i got to go . michael : yeah , i 'll walk you out . carly : no , no , that 's okay . i parked by the gatehouse . i do n't feel like walking through the house . i 'm just gon na go out the terrace . michael : all right . carly : i love you . michael : i love you , too . i know . okay . [ sighs ] nelle : [ sighs ] michael : hey . so , uh , how much of that did you hear ? nelle : enough . [ scene_break ] olivia : the last thing that i want is to get into some knock - down , drag - out custody battle with julian , but i do n't think i have any choice . he will not listen to reason . believe me , i have tried . ned : i think that we have to be as rational as possible . olivia : are you saying that i am being irrational ? ned : no . no . what i 'm saying is that right now , you have full custody of leo . and any visitation that julian has is at your discretion . if you take julian to family court and you lose , they could award him joint custody . olivia : so , what am i supposed to do ? ned : be patient . olivia : yeah . that 's easier said than done . ned : okay , liv . i know it 's not your strong suit , but if you can just wait until after julian goes to trial . because if he 's found guilty of everything that he 's been charged with , you could ask the court to strip him of all of his rights . olivia : yeah , well , that 's a really good plan except for one thing . what if he 's not found guilty ? ned : then we 'll deal with that then . okay ? together . and as far as keeping leo safe from julian 's enemies , there 's no place safer than the quartermaine compound . we have staff . we have security . if it makes you feel any better , we can even dig a moat . [ laughs ] olivia : [ sighs ] you know , we 're still not moving into that place until you and i are officially hitched . ned : you and leo spend every night there . olivia : i know , but it 's not the same as filling out change - of - address forms and clearing out closets and all that good stuff . that 's got to wait till we are married . ned : well , we better get married soon , because i do n't want to spend another minute without you -- closets and all . olivia : mmm . [ scene_break ] julian : i know things seem hopeless right now , but i mean , you have to admit that we 've been in worse jams than this before . ava : hmm ! when ? julian : we 've both been presumed dead . we 're gon na get through this together . i promise . [ door opens ] ava : thank you . epiphany : i need to see to your sister 's bandages . you can wait outside if you 'd like . julian : i will . you hang tough .

[ scene_break ] carly : hey . what 's going on ? why did you need to see me right away ? is everything okay ? sonny : i got a call from the casino manager on the island , and there 's some issue with the liquor tariffs . so they ca n't do any more shipments unless somebody signs the paperwork , and it 's got to be notarized on the property . carly : what does this have to do with me ? sonny : well , i mean , you 're the owner . [ scene_break ] michael : i hate to break it to you , but you do not have a future as either a thief or a spy . nelle : well , i 'm not usually this clumsy , but let 's face it . your mom makes me super nervous . michael : yeah , well , there 's no cure for that except for , i guess , time . nelle : funny , i always think of you as a realist . michael : yeah . as opposed to ... nelle : completely delusional ? your mom 's never gon na forgive me . michael : [ sighs ] okay . maybe `` forgive `` is a bit of a strong word , but `` tolerate , `` i think , is definitely achievable . nelle : i would just prefer to avoid if at all possible . michael : and yet , you came to see me here . well , true , this is not my mom 's house , but she is here a lot . fair warning . nelle : oh . well , i try and be more careful next time . michael : there 's gon na be a next time ? nelle : okay . let me just tell you why i 'm here this time . i had a recruiter call , say they were interested in my cv . michael : seriously ? that 's great ! what 's the job ? nelle : you should know . i mean , i did some googling . turns out the company is a subsidiary of elq . any idea who refereed me ? michael : okay . i may have given them your name . nelle : ah ! michael : but you got that interview on your own merit , just like how you 're gon na get this job -- on your own merit . nelle : mnh - mnh . i turned it down . michael : why ? nelle : what 's gon na happen when your mom finds out that i 'm working for you at elq ? michael : my mom does any have any stock in elq , and she definitely does n't have any control over hiring . nelle : look , i would just prefer not to cause any more trouble for either of you . michael : okay , look . now , i love my mom , and i respect her opinion to a point . i do n't live my life to please her . and i 'm not gon na waste any time worrying about how she 's gon na react when she finds out that we 're seeing each other . nelle : wait . back up . when did we agree we were seeing each other ? [ scene_break ] kevin : so what do you say , spencer ? are you cool with moving into my place ? spencer : i think it could be fun . you 're not a bad guy , dr. collins . kevin : well , since we 'll be living under the same roof , it 's okay if you call me kevin . spencer : deal . kevin : all right . you guys want to see your new digs ? spencer : sure . i 'll start measuring for my furniture . and , i 'm not gon na be sleeping on pull - out in the den , am i ? kevin : not to worry . i have a spare bedroom . i will have to move out my medical journals , though . spencer : on it . kevin : and my cryptography books . spencer : done . kevin : oh , and my gaming systems . spencer : whoa , whoa , whoa , buddy . now , let 's not get hasty ! i mean , come on !

[ scene_break ] nelle : michael , did i miss the part where we agreed to see each other ? michael : is n't that what happened when i brought you back from the hospital ? nelle : i do n't see the point in defining our relationship when we 're just ... talking . michael : well , as long as we 're talking , you should know that any day of my life is better with you in it . and sooner or later , we should figure out what to do about the way we feel for each other . nelle : right now , i 'm only here for the job referral . which i appreciate , but i ca n't have you taking care of me , michael . i mean , i got to take care of myself . michael : that was a total evasion . nelle : it 's the best i can do for now . michael : okay . [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] carly : since when did i become the owner of the casino ? sonny : uh , about the time you became owner of everything else that 's mine . carly : i do n't remember seeing it on the list . sonny : well , that was separate because , um -- it was filed separately , because it was on the property of the island . carly : you hid it from me . sonny : uh , yeah , well , more or less . carly : [ laughs ] you hid it from me , but now you need me to help clear up the liquor tariffs . wow . sonny : exactly . carly : yeah , uh - huh . sonny : well , you know , no liquor , bad business . carly : okay , fine . i 'll do it . sonny : great . i 'll have the jet fueled , and then we could probably leave tomorrow . carly : we ? you 're coming with me ? sonny : well , there 's not point in going alone , carly . carly : this is strictly business , right , sonny ? sonny : yeah , yeah . scout 's honor . carly : [ laughs ] we both know you 're no boy scout . sonny : [ laughs ] yeah .

[ scene_break ] griffin : you wo n't regret letting go of your desire for vengeance . sonny : you think i 'm letting go ? griffin : is n't that what you just said ? sonny : i said i was n't gon na finish ava off , and i 'm not . you know why ? 'cause i do n't need to . as long as every time she breathes there 's pain , i can do with that . griffin : you 're taking pleasure in her suffering . sonny : no , i 'm not taking pleasure in anything ! she is where she is . that 's god 's will . but my son is dead , because of ava ! last weeks of his life , he was living in hell because of ava . she sabotaged his mental health , and it ended up killing him ! so the way i see it , the universe is balancing the scales ! griffin : i do n't see the world that way , sonny . sonny : oh , do n't tell me you feel sorry for that bitch . griffin : i know she caused you unimaginable pain . i ca n't pretend to understand the loss of a child . but what i do know is what our mutual faith has taught both of us -- that no soul is beyond redemption . [ scene_break ] carly : the damage has been done to our relationship . i 'm not sure it can ever be repaired . but that does n't mean we have to be mean to each other or hate each other . we deserve better than that . michael : no , yeah . i agree . i 'm very glad you realize that . carly : i 'm sorry . i know that you 've been trying to tell me that , and i 'm sorry you had to work so hard to get through to me . michael : hey , i did n't get through to you , mom . it 's something you had to figure out by yourself . carly : well , i 'm glad you stood by me while i did that . michael : always . carly : [ laughs ] [ sighs ] mm . [ laughs ] [ rustling ] carly : what was that ? [ scene_break ] kevin : well , spencer , you make a good point . honor as a concept is vague . spencer : mm - hmm . kevin : so let me be more specific . i love your grandmother very much , and i would never leave either of you in the lurch . i can promise you , spencer . i am in this for the long haul . spencer : does that mean you 're gon na marry her ? laura : you know what , honey ? i think that 's enough questions for now . spencer : well , do n't you want to know the answer ? kevin : spencer , come here . you see , both me and your grandmother have been married before , so that 's not something we want to rush into . spencer : why not ? kevin : because if we ever do make that leap , it 'll be forever . [ scene_break ] olivia : julian came to see me , basically demanding a visit with leo , which is bad enough . but then , alexis shows up out of the blue defending the man like he did not put her knife to her throat and try to kill her , like he has n't looked in her face and lied 100,000 times ! i swear to you , if sam had n't stepped in , i swear she would have offered to represent him . ned : that would 've been quite the turnaround . olivia : i 'm not giving up without a fight , ned ! you know what ? you know what ? i do n't need a lawyer from port charles . i got a cousin in soho who 's got a killer family lawyer . i know she 'll go to bat for me . ned : so , you are ready to move forward with this ? olivia : i do n't think i can afford not to ! i do n't know how much legal leverage julian 's adding up . ned : that 's not what i meant . olivia : well ... ned : are you sure a custody suit is the right way to go ? [ scene_break ] julian : what are you talking about ? sonny was here , in this room ? ava : mm - hmm . he made a point of letting me live . all the better to watch me suffer . julian : [ sighs ] that is just ... i do n't understand why you would mess with morgan 's meds in the first place . i mean , you had to know that would put you in sonny 's crosshairs . ava : i was n't thinking about sonny . i was thinking about my daughter . i did n't want her to feel tied to morgan out of some misguided loyalty . i needed to protect her ! are you gon na stand there and tell me that you have n't done things that you regret to protect your family ? i would take it back if i could , but i ca n't . [ sighs ] i just want this to be over . julian : ava . ava , hey . now you listen to me . that 's what sonny wants . he wants you to quit . do not let him win . ava : that 's pretty easy for you to say . you 're home at night and sleep in your own bed , and you can forget about what happened to me for a few hours at a time at least . i do n't have that luxury . julian : sweetheart , that 's not what i 'm saying . i just -- i just wish i could help you somehow . ava : i know . you know , you do n't have to be here . there 's no reason for both of us to suffer . julian : if you 're gon na be stuck here , i 'm not going anywhere . [ scene_break ] sonny : you know i respect our faith , and i did n't mean to say `` bitch `` earlier . but the way you 're talking to me , it seems like you do n't respect me . griffin : i respect everyone , sonny . that 's why i have to give ava the same consideration i give you or anyone else . sonny : right , but you expect me to forgive the woman who 's responsible for my son 's death ? griffin : if you 're following the tenants of your religion , then yes . sonny : it 's like what you said earlier . you do n't know what it 's like to lose a child . you do n't know what it 's like to see the woman you love who 's pregnant , and you see her go through the pregnancy , and you hold the little baby in your arms and you see him become a toddler and a small child , and then he becomes a fine young man . you do n't know what it 's like to watch your son , who has the same illness you have , conquer it and then have it stolen from him by some heartless piece of garbage . [ voice breaking ] you do n't know what it feels like for your son to die , because it 's just some stupid and pointless , 'cause someone messed with his mind . you do n't know what that feels like , father . so do n't stand there and tell me i need to forgive , 'cause i do n't know if i will now or ever ! griffin : forgiveness is the only way to heal . sonny : yeah ? you think ? you forgive julian ? when you look at him , the man who killed your father , do you see somebody worthy of redemption ? i did n't think so . griffin : look , i 'm gon na go . and you know what ? despite our differences , i 'll be praying for you to find some peace from your grief . sonny : and i appreciate your prayers . and let me tell you something about ava , if you think her soul can be redeemed . no . [ whispers ] she never had one to begin with . [ cell phone rings ] sonny : what is it ? what ? [ scene_break ] michael : you know what ? it 's probably danny . yeah , he and scout are visiting . he and annabelle the second are probably exploring . carly : oh . michael : last week , they put a hole through a wall upstairs and broke a vase . it was all ... carly : wow ! [ laughs ] michael : anyway , i 'm really glad you and dad are working through this , you know ? you 're always best when you 're on the same side . carly : yeah . i mean , it 's really important for us to put up a united front -- make sure ava 's punished for what she did to morgan . michael : yeah , i hope the da files maximum charges . now that nelle 's given her statement , i 'm sure those charges are gon na stick . carly : statement wo n't mean anything if nelle does n't testify . michael : she will . carly : you never told me what you were doing in nelle 's hospital room . were you just being kind ? that 's it , right ? i mean , you do n't have feelings for nelle ? [ scene_break ] sam : hey . jason : hey . sam : hi . jason : so luckily , monica said no problem , the kids can stay the night . sam : oh , good . she did n't ask why you were calling ? jason : i told her we needed a night to ourselves . sam : okay . i was thinking , and you were probably right , of course . i was worried about you , and it does n't help when i 've only had , like , three or four hours of sleep a night . jason : you mean three or four hours if you 're lucky . sam : [ laughs ] my mom told me with two kids it was three times the work , and i should 've believed her . jason : yeah . you know what ? maybe you should just turn in early . catch up on lost time . sam : speaking of lost time , i have something that i want to kind of make up for . i snapped at you earlier today , and i wanted to tell you that i am sorry . you were protecting jake , and that 's all you could do . and i overreacted just a little . [ laughs ] but it 's only because i love you so much , and i do n't ever want to lose you . jason : you 're never gon na lose me . sam : promise ? jason : i promise . i love you . [ scene_break ] spencer : it 's only natural that dr. collins would love you , but that does n't necessarily mean that you love him , too . laura : you know , i do n't think this is really your business . spencer : well , it is if you accept his invitation to live together because of me . laura : why would i do that ? spencer : grandmother , i know you know that i 'm not happy living with aunt lulu and uncle dante . and i 'm definitely not happy sharing a room with rocco . but maybe you think that moving in with dr. collins would solve our housing dilemma , but i would n't want you to get into a romantic relationship with somebody just because you want to put a roof over my head . laura : [ laughs ] no , honey . come here . come here . that 's not how it is , okay ? i want to move in with kevin , because i love him . i love him very much , and that 's all i 'm gon na say about this . now , as far as our housing arrangement , i think you do have a right to voice your opinion on that one . but i will make the final decision . okay ? so , what do you think ? [ scene_break ] michael : we all know what nelle did , and we all know it was wrong , right ? we 've had to wade through the fallout . but so has nelle . look , she 's trying to turn her life around . she deserves credit for that , mom ! carly : you 're a good man . you are . you have a much more forgiving soul than i ever did . if someone ever hurt me , all i wanted to do was hurt them back . guess that 's why your dad and i got along so well . here 's what i know , michael . nelle set out to sabotage our family , and she succeeded . if you let her in , she 's gon na do the same thing to you . she will hurt you , michael .

[ scene_break ] morgan : ava swore that she saw you shoot aj , but to actually hear you say it -- [ sniffs ] hmm . i know you despised him , but you promised -- you promised -- michael . does your word not mean anything to you ? because i thought that was everything to you . sonny : i hate that i broke my word to michael . it 's an unforgivable mistake . morgan : a mist -- a mistake ? sonny : yes ! morgan : a mistake would be the gun going off by accident . you deliberately pulled the trigger ! sonny : i ca n't take it back , even if i wanted to , morgan ! morgan : you know who -- who would wish you would take it back more than anyone ? michael . sonny : okay . you wanted me to give you my word . i gave it to you , right ? now , for the love of god , you need to promise me you will not breathe a word -- not one word of this -- to michael . [ scene_break ] michael : wait . morgan 's not coming ? kiki : i think he has , like , the 24-hour flu or something . michael : that excuse did n't even work when we were kids . kiki : he looked really pale to me . michael : okay , no . no . morgan despises franco , and he thinks our mom is crazy for marrying him . in case i did n't make it clear , so do i . but i 'm here , 'cause when it comes to family , sometimes you do things you do n't want to do . kiki : do n't you think you 're a little hard on him ? michael : look at josslyn . does she look happy ? [ scene_break ] carly : okay , spencer . i want to be perfectly clear about this . franco knew you were hiding in my house ? spencer : yes . he knew . carly : okay . after you left , after elizabeth found you , i asked him point- blank if he knew , and he denied it . bobbie : okay . carly , we really need to get you dressed . carly : i mean , i 'm sorry , but why would he lie about something like that ? scott : this is just ridiculous . franco did n't know that spencer was hiding out at your house . i mean , consider the little source . josslyn : hey . that 's not nice . scott : well , why would franco cover for a runaway bandit ? spencer : boy , i 'm hungry . shall we adjourn to the kitchen to inspect the first course ? carly : no , freeze . spencer , why would franco cover for you ? spencer : can anybody explain why mr. franco does what mr. franco does ? carly : spencer , what did your dad tell you about telling the truth ? spencer : i need to tell more of it . carly : why did franco lie ? spencer : well ... i might have discovered that franco was ... plotting against uncle sonny , but ... [ scene_break ] franco : you -- sorry . you took heather ! shawn : wow . franco : huh ! shawn : nothing gets by you , does it ? franco : [ chuckles ] that 's great . yeah . you and sonny snatched her from ferncliff before i could get my guy to get her out of there . oh , you . shawn : well , you know , she thought i worked for you . yeah -- gave her full cooperation . franco : [ sighs ] shawn : now , whatever you have planned with her , just consider it canceled . franco : i just wanted her to witness the happiest day of my life . shawn : that 's not gon na happen today . franco : okay . tell me something , though . you know , if you are gon na kill me , i 'm curious -- how 's this gon na play out for those that i 've left behind ? shawn : she tried to kill carly , then pinned it on you . franco : she had a moment . shawn : and , you know , she was pissed when you buried her alive . franco : i had a moment , too . shawn : she hates you , man . she 's never gon na let you be happy with carly . franco : `` hate `` is such a strong word . shawn : you tried to reach out to your mother as your wedding day approached , and you went to visit her at ferncliff . franco : of course , you would know that . shawn : you must have said something to her to make heather snap . franco : [ chuckles ] you 're telling me . shawn : so she had to make you pay for breaking her heart , so she broke out of the loony bin ... and killed you . franco : [ chuckles ] brilliant ! you 're framing heather ! that 's awesome ! shawn : yeah , i know . now , when i leave here , i 'm gon na plant the gun on heather . now , she 's gon na try to tell the truth , but who 's gon na believe a lifelong lunatic like her ? speaking of lunatics , it 's time to make the world a better place . franco : okay , wait , wait , wait , wait . whoa , whoa , whoa . [ cell phone chiming ] franco : you ... maybe ... get that ? could be sonny . maybe he changed his mind . shawn : yeah , well , do n't bet your life on it . what the ... ? what ? oh , damn . franco : dude . what is going on with all those texts ? i hope everything 's okay . shawn : should have brought a gag . franco : well , something 's up . cat got your trigger finger ? shawn : look , shut ... up . franco : okay . [ cell phone rings ] heather : i guess somebody got my text . hello . shawn : let me talk to jordan . heather : shawn . so good of you to call . you 've been a very naughty boy . shawn : heather , i 'm not gon na ask you again . heather : you tricked me into thinking you worked for my son , and shame on you . you even used kelly 's blts against me . shawn : jordan -- put her on the phone . heather : oh , let 's play a game . guess who 's my hostage . it 's jordan ! shawn : you lay one finger on her , i swear to you i will tear you apart with my bare hands . heather : that 's not a very nice way to talk to the lady with the gun . shawn : you leave her out of this ! heather : i give the orders now ! i want to see franco . you and sonny were gon na do something to hurt him , were n't you ? getting me out of ferncliff was part of that . shawn : heather , i need you to calm down before something happens you ca n't take back . heather : did you do anything to franco ? if i do n't get to talk to my son , i might just have to kill someone . [ scene_break ] carly : i want you to tell me what happened . spencer : okay . well , i was in need of a glass of orange juice , on the way to your kitchen , when i heard somebody talking to themselves . it was franco . franco was talking to himself , and he was saying that the only way to get the goods on sonny was to break in to your e - mail . [ scene_break ] kiki : michael , no ! do n't make morgan feel bad about it , please . michael : no , my mother 's getting married , and it 's my duty to give morgan hell for not being here to be part of this fiasco . there . that should do it .

[ scene_break ] silas : you know , it took a long time for sam to even feel comfortable around me . you may not remember , but i 'm not exactly the warmest person when you first meet me . ava : i do n't have the foggiest idea what you 're talking about . [ both chuckle ] silas : well , her son was in my care , and we got to know each other a little . and for the first time in year , i felt something for someone . it was new and it was different , and ... then nina reappeared . and i did n't handle that right . i did everything wrong . but , most importantly , i was n't good to sam . ava : silas , there was no good choice to make . nina was your wife . i 'm sure you felt terribly guilty about everything that had happened to her . silas : that 's the understatement of the year . i realize now that ... nina had been manipulating me from day one . she did things that caused ... trust issues between sam and me . our relationship just fell apart . ava : well , maybe if you get a chance to talk to sam -- really talk to her -- you can clear it up . [ cell phone rings ] [ scene_break ] nina : wow . mommy , that 's really impressive . you 're gon na earn your money after all . you really did that ? madeline : not i -- the lovely dr. mooney , consulting physician and very handy with a computer . nina : impressive . madeline : [ sighs ] sam 's child did n't have cancer until dr. mooney got her hands on that lab report .

[ scene_break ] franco : hello , mother . it is so nice to hear your voice . sonny and shawn tried to pull a fast one on us , did n't they ? heather : they tried to . franco : they had no idea who they were dealing with . heather : they certainly did not . franco : so , mom , listen -- i got to ask you to hold on for like one second , okay ? 'cause shawn and i -- we 're gon na have a little conversation about life and such , and i 'm pretty sure that he 's gon na be open to all of my suggestions , but if you feel like i 'm encountering any kind of resistance from him , you should feel free to do whatever you have to do to that hostage of yours . heather : of course . whatever you say , son . franco : okay . just hold one -- one sec , okay ? you got to give me the gun . 'cause heather -- she 's pbht ! and we do not want her to get trigger - happy . one second . seriously , dude , you got to give me the gun , okay ? and then i 'll tell you exactly how the rest of this rolls out . [ scene_break ] sonny : you 're gon na blackmail your father to protect that whore ? morgan : do n't call her that . sonny : that 's what she is , morgan . morgan : okay , drop the stupid plan to kill ava , and michael does n't find out that you killed aj . it 's as simple as that . i do n't want to hurt michael , but i will if you do n't leave ava alone . sonny : i 'm not gon na ignore -- morgan : those are the terms . that 's it , okay ? you do n't get to kill ava 'cause she has the goods on you .

[ scene_break ] nina : did it work ? madeline : sam was on a cell call to silas . she was ... sobbing . nina : mm . i 'm sure silas got an earful . madeline : [ sighs ] she 's terrified . she believes her child has cancer . nina : well , it had to be done . it had to be done . so , uh , silas is going to be leaving the pregnant tramp , which gives her time to gestate alone until i get there . madeline : i guess it 's safe for us to go now . nina : there 's no `` us . `` i 'm doing this alone . your assignment is to make sure that silas keeps occupied with sam . madeline : do n't you need me to help you with the baby ? nina : no . i know what i 'm doing . this is a private and personal matter between me and ava -- just the two of us , and ... baby makes three .

[ scene_break ] jessica : once we got to the theater , lindsay called mitch and told him that i was being held hostage . [ scene_break ] dorian : of course , we were n't holding anyone hostage , but then how would a blind man know that ? bo : is that why someone knocked out the guy that brought him there ? this guy johnson ? blair : yes . that 's right . bo : go on . dorian : lindsay was not very strong . [ scene_break ] jessica : when dorian took out her gun , lindsay completely freaked . viki : dorian had a gun ? jessica : yeah , and then lindsay ran off .

[ scene_break ] jessica : but -- but mitch , he was too fast for her , and that 's -- he tried to stab her , and -- and that 's -- that 's when i screamed . [ scene_break ] blair : mitch wanted me to take him up to the catwalk to see his daughter . bo : but jessica was n't there . dorian : but mitch did n't know that . we told him that she was bound and gagged . blair : so i took him up to the catwalk , and that 's when he realized it was dorian there and not lindsay . [ scene_break ] jessica : dorian told mitch that she 'd kill me if -- if he came near her . [ scene_break ] dorian : but he tried anyway . [ scene_break ] jessica : so we all -- we all rushed at him . [ scene_break ] dorian : blair and i managed to subdue him . we told him that if he did n't confess to all his crimes , we 'd push him off the catwalk . [ scene_break ] jessica : i told him that dorian was going to hurt me , and that if he really loved me , he 'd confess . [ scene_break ] dorian : so the coward did what you 'd expect him to do -- he confessed . [ scene_break ] jessica : but then dorian told him that i was -- i 'd been part of the entire thing and that i betrayed him . but , you know , he -- he did n't believe her .

[ viki sighs ] [ scene_break ] dorian : do you intend to press charges against us ? . bo : i am not saying this matter will not be investigated . blair : but you 're not going to press charges against us ? bo : i think the important thing right now is to find lawrence before he does something else that we 'll all regret . dorian : i completely agree with you , yes . bo : now , do you have any idea where he is ? blair : bo , i wish i knew . dorian : believe me , if we did know , we would completely cooperate with you . blair : yes . bo : you know something , dorian ? if you 'd told me about this without going after lawrence yourself , none of this would have ever happened . mitch would be behind bars right now and poor addie -- she would n't have almost been killed . dorian : did he stop mitch from shooting me ? why does he think i 'm suddenly going to go running to him for help ? blair : look , i want to know why you did n't want us to tell him that -- that jessica was at the theater with us . dorian : i have my reasons . blair : ok , i 'm waiting . you 're not going to tell me ? dorian : i have to go , all right ? this morning is the hearing on victor 's will . blair : well , what -- what are you going to do , dorian ? dorian : oh , let 's just say viki 's in for a big surprise . blair : ugh . [ scene_break ] viki : and natalie knows all about this , right ? i mean , that 's what you 've been whispering about . jessica : yeah , i told her . that 's why she called dad , and he came down from london . viki : because she was worried about you . jessica : yeah . viki : well , so am i . jessica : mom , there 's no need to be , especially now . i 'm feeling so much better . viki : i ca n't even imagine how terrible that must have been , thinking you were responsible for mitch 's death . jessica : it was a nightmare . viki : there 's one little thing i do n't quite get . how did dorian talk you into going to the theater in the first place ? jessica : what do you mean ? viki : darling , what did she tell you was going to happen ? she certainly did n't tell you the truth . antonio : you said you wanted everything to come out , jessica . so you might as well tell her . viki : the chloroform ? antonio : yeah . viki : so that 's true ? dorian knocked you out with chloroform ? jessica : mom , you have to understand , we were all really desperate , ok ? viki : jessica , she risked your life ! jessica : but i 'm ok . i 'm ok . viki : no thanks to her . never mind . i 'll deal with her later . darling , you have to realize none of this was your fault . it was not your fault that mitch went to the theater , and it was certainly not your fault that he fell . that was dorian 's doing , and only hers . now , you 've known about this all along ? antonio : i put some of it together , yes . jessica : he made sure that i never said anything he would have to follow up on . viki : well , i thank you very , very much for that , antonio . antonio : no , it 's my job . and my pleasure . viki : i 'm glad to hear you say that , because i 'm going to have to ask you to continue keeping an eye on jessie . jessica : mom , i 'm going to be ok . viki : humor me , ok ? antonio : i will stay by her side . i will not leave it for one second . viki : thank you very much . i 'll see you later . jessica : where -- where are you going ? viki : i have to get to the hearing on father 's will . jessica : do you really think it 's going to be overturned ? viki : well , we 'll keep our fingers crossed , ok ? jessica : ok . viki : maybe when i come back , we can talk about this as much as you want , all right ? whatever you need . jessica : thank you so much , mom . viki : oh , god , i love you so . jessica : i love you , too .

[ pen clatters ] brooke : [ sighs ] bill : so , you two are engaged . after how long -- a week , a month ? i do n't buy it . katie : well , first of all , we 've known each other for decades , and , secondly , i 'm not quite sure what you 're implying -- that thorne does n't love me or maybe i 'm just a silly little girl who 's easily fooled ? bill : no . you 're just an emotionally vulnerable woman ... katie : [ scoffs ] bill : ... taken advantage of by a guy who was trolling for an easy mark . thorne : wow . how do you come up with this stuff ? katie : listen , why do n't all of us just a take a breath , okay ? because you 're gon na need to accept this . bill : i do n't need to take a breath . i 'm breathing just fine . i do n't have to accept anything , especially if it entails trying to take my son away from you . katie : no one is trying to take your son away from you . bill : says the woman filing for sole custody . katie : okay . i get it . this engagement has hit you out of nowhere . we 're in the middle of a custody battle , and you feel ambushed . but , bill , i do n't want to go to war with you . i 'm just trying to take care of our child . bill : by shutting me out of my son 's life ? katie : you keep saying that , but that 's not the case ! bill : no , that 's exactly the case , katie . katie : no , i get it . you 're busy . you ca n't always follow through with him . but you 'll have visitation . you 've let him down too many times . bill : that was then . this is now . and now i 'm here for him . i 'm gon na make it right . katie : until something or someone pulls your attention away . no . i am taking control of the situation . please , please , bill , do n't fight this . will will be in a loving home . he will be taken care of , and , most of all , he will feel secure . he needs the stability that thorne and i can give him . bill : you know that i was robbed of the chance to raise liam and wyatt . you know the kind of relationship , if you 'd even call it that , i had with my own father . i am not gon na let that pattern be repeated with will , and sure as hell am not gon na let you step in and be a father to my son . thorne : look , katie 's gon na get full custody , whether we 're married or not . will gets to grow up in a loving family environment . you still get to see him . you should be happy about that . bill : [ chuckling ] oh , i 'm so happy ... happy that you are trying to `` x `` me out of my son 's life . i love that boy , and i will fight for him . i will fight for him with everything that i 've got . i do n't give a damn that you two are married . i will use every single resource at my disposal to keep you from stealing my son from me . | katie tells will that is the fastest she has ever seen him eat his breakfast . then she gets into she knows that thorne is coming over to play with him so how would he feel if he were around more . she mentions liam and hope just got married .. well thorne asked her to marry him and she asks how he feels about that . he immediately asks what about his dad . pam tells brooke and ridge that she suddenly felt a cool breeze in the room when she mentioned katie and thorne . and ridge said that would be an improvement . so she is guessing it is okay with ridge but not so with brooke unless it is just having bill sued for custody that is bringing this on . thorne tells will that he is happy with him in his life and will seems to be pleased with that . steffy and sally find xander almost in the buff and it gives steffy ideas . she wants to see him turn around and says she can see he works out a lot so he could make a good model as they are looking for some male models . thorne tells will that he does n't have to worry about his dad . nothing he and katie do will affect his relationship with his dad . he does not have to go live with him ; just stay here and live in his own home . will thinks he is going to like this having thorne around all the time . bill comes in at the wrong time but katie says it is okay as she has big news . she holds up her ring finger to show him her ring . he has just finished minutes ago telling justin that thorne will never have a say in his son 's life . xander reminds steffy that he is not a model . she says not a problem but her only concern is that zoe will be working closely with him and she hopes that wo n't be a problem . he says absolutely not . sally also gets praised by steffy to join her since they got off on the wrong foot earlier . | <s>[INST] katie : wow ! that is the fastest i have ever seen you eat breakfast . will : it was good . katie : good ! will : thorne said yesterday he 's coming over to finish building the spaceship with me . katie : that 's what i heard . you like thorne , do n't you ?

[ knock on door ] katie : bill , what are you doing here ? bill : i came here to spend some time with my son . hey , buddy . will : hi , dad . katie : actually , um , i 'm glad you 're here , because we have some news . bill : do you ? katie : yes , some big news . xander : uh , this is where the camera crew jumps out and i find out this is all a joke , right ? steffy : no joke . i 'd like to have you on the intimates team . xander : [ chuckles softly ] sally : this is an incredible opportunity , xander . i would say yes . xander : yeah . uh , yes . yes , of course . um ... but i do n't have any modeling experience . steffy : that 's fine . we 'll get you training . i just have one concern . zoe 's on the team , and i know that you two were involved . is that gon na be a problem ? xander : no . no . zoe and i are good . steffy : great . welcome aboard . xander : thank you , steffy . you , uh -- you wo n't regret taking a chance on me . steffy : i hope you 'll make it unanimous . sally : me ? steffy : let 's just get this out of the way . you and i did n't really start off on the best of terms , but as far as i 'm concerned , i 'm putting that behind me . you got a great eye , and my line would be very lucky to have you on the team . sally : as a consultant ? steffy : as a designer . sally : seriously ? ! i -- yeah , i - i - i do n't know what to say . steffy : well , take the advice you gave xander and say yes ! sally : yes ! yeah ! god , yes ! steffy : great ! great ! well , i 'll call down to human resources , and i 'll get the paperwork rolling . welcome to intimates . xander : well [ chuckles ] i was n't expecting that when i woke up . sally : yeah , tell me about it . [ chuckles ] ridge : you think i do n't get it . i get it . you 're a wonderful person . and you still feel for spencer , but your empathy is misplaced . it belongs to your sister now . brooke : so , i 'm supposed to offer blind support , even if i do n't agree with her decision ? ridge : the guy ignored his son for almost a year . you do n't think there 's some lasting damage ? brooke : possibly , there is . but i do n't think limiting bill 's time with his son is the answer . in fact , i think they need to spend more time together in order to re - establish their connection . ridge : he would n't have to re - establish their connection if he had n't done that in the first place . brooke : well , bill should n't have done that . but why compound one mistake with another ? steffy : are we talking about the custody battle ? ridge : katie 's case just got stronger . thorne proposed to her . they 're getting married . steffy : what ? are you serious ? ridge : yeah . and that little boy is gon na grow up in a house surrounded by love . brooke : i still do n't think custody should be taken away from bill . you 're not gon na get me to change my mind , period . bill : so , you two are engaged ? thorne : yes , we are . bill : how do you feel about that , pal ? will : i like thorne , and so does mom . bill : you 're good with having him around here all the time ? will : sure . it 'll be fun , and thorne will be my stepdad . i like that . katie : hey , baby , why do n't you run upstairs and get going on that spaceship ? thorne will be up in a little bit to help you , okay ? thorne : i 'll be up soon , buddy . will : okay . bye , dad . bill : bye , pal . `` bye , dad . `` it does n't even occur to him that i might still be here when he comes back down . thorne : whose fault is that ? bill : that 's what i 'm asking . thorne : just to be clear , i 've never said a bad thing to him about you , so however will feels is on you , not me . bill : just to be clear , i know exactly what you 're doing . you want an instant family . my son is part of the package . did you hear that ? my son . i love him , and that 's what he is . that 's what he will always be . i will have a say and a strong presence in his life , and nobody is going to take him away from me . ridge : thorne is gon na be a much better father than spencer ever was . brooke : thorne will be a great stepdad . but will already has a father . ridge : bill walked away from his kid . he completely ignored him ! steffy : i - i do n't know , dad . i do n't know . ridge : y - you do n't know what ? steffy : i do n't know if bill should be separated from his son . brooke : exactly . ridge : really ? both -- both you guys are -- are defending him ? brooke : ridge , we do n't get to choose our fathers . i just want will to have a great relationship with the one that he has . ridge : he 's not healthy . he 's sick ! he 's a sick man . he will do whatever he wants to get what he wants . does n't matter who gets hurt . steffy : okay , dad . i do n't think you 're being exactly objective . ridge : maybe i 'm not . but you 're being objective . that 's hard for me to see . how do you do that ? that guy destroyed your life . he destroyed your marriage . he destroyed all the things that you wanted in life . he -- he meddled and manipulated until you had nothing else to say to liam . you guys are grown - ups . you make your own choices . we 're talking about a little kid ... a little kid that needs help , needs some guidance . he 's gon na get it from thorne . he 's gon na take care of it . that kid should n't be anywhere near spencer ever again . brooke : do you really believe that ? ridge : i absolutely believe it ! sp - spencer is -- is an emotional wrecking ball ! and i will tell that to any judge who asks me ! i will tell it to any judge who does n't ask me ! shame on both of you ! how do you do that ? ! katie needs you right now ! thorne needs you ! that little kid just ... deserves a better life . how do you not see that ? [ pen clatters ] brooke : [ sighs ] bill : so , you two are engaged . after how long -- a week , a month ? i do n't buy it . katie : well , first of all , we 've known each other for decades , and , secondly , i 'm not quite sure what you 're implying -- that thorne does n't love me or maybe i 'm just a silly little girl who 's easily fooled ? bill : no . you 're just an emotionally vulnerable woman ... katie : [ scoffs ] bill : ... taken advantage of by a guy who was trolling for an easy mark . thorne : wow . how do you come up with this stuff ? katie : listen , why do n't all of us just a take a breath , okay ? because you 're gon na need to accept this . bill : i do n't need to take a breath . i 'm breathing just fine . i do n't have to accept anything , especially if it entails trying to take my son away from you . katie : no one is trying to take your son away from you . bill : says the woman filing for sole custody . katie : okay . i get it . this engagement has hit you out of nowhere . we 're in the middle of a custody battle , and you feel ambushed . but , bill , i do n't want to go to war with you . i 'm just trying to take care of our child . bill : by shutting me out of my son 's life ? katie : you keep saying that , but that 's not the case ! bill : no , that 's exactly the case , katie . katie : no , i get it . you 're busy . you ca n't always follow through with him . but you 'll have visitation . you 've let him down too many times . bill : that was then . this is now . and now i 'm here for him . i 'm gon na make it right . katie : until something or someone pulls your attention away . no . i am taking control of the situation . please , please , bill , do n't fight this . will will be in a loving home . he will be taken care of , and , most of all , he will feel secure . he needs the stability that thorne and i can give him . bill : you know that i was robbed of the chance to raise liam and wyatt . you know the kind of relationship , if you 'd even call it that , i had with my own father . i am not gon na let that pattern be repeated with will , and sure as hell am not gon na let you step in and be a father to my son . thorne : look , katie 's gon na get full custody , whether we 're married or not . will gets to grow up in a loving family environment . you still get to see him . you should be happy about that . bill : [ chuckling ] oh , i 'm so happy ... happy that you are trying to `` x `` me out of my son 's life . i love that boy , and i will fight for him . i will fight for him with everything that i 've got . i do n't give a damn that you two are married . i will use every single resource at my disposal to keep you from stealing my son from me .Summarize.[/INST]katie tells will that is the fastest she has ever seen him eat his breakfast . then she gets into she knows that thorne is coming over to play with him so how would he feel if he were around more . she mentions liam and hope just got married .. well thorne asked her to marry him and she asks how he feels about that . he immediately asks what about his dad . pam tells brooke and ridge that she suddenly felt a cool breeze in the room when she mentioned katie and thorne . and ridge said that would be an improvement . so she is guessing it is okay with ridge but not so with brooke unless it is just having bill sued for custody that is bringing this on . thorne tells will that he is happy with him in his life and will seems to be pleased with that . steffy and sally find xander almost in the buff and it gives steffy ideas . she wants to see him turn around and says she can see he works out a lot so he could make a good model as they are looking for some male models . thorne tells will that he does n't have to worry about his dad . nothing he and katie do will affect his relationship with his dad . he does not have to go live with him ; just stay here and live in his own home . will thinks he is going to like this having thorne around all the time . bill comes in at the wrong time but katie says it is okay as she has big news . she holds up her ring finger to show him her ring . he has just finished minutes ago telling justin that thorne will never have a say in his son 's life . xander reminds steffy that he is not a model . she says not a problem but her only concern is that zoe will be working closely with him and she hopes that wo n't be a problem . he says absolutely not . sally also gets praised by steffy to join her since they got off on the wrong foot earlier .</s> | 5,410 |

[ scene_break ] ric : this is incredible . elizabeth : i know . i know . i - i knew britt was a class - a liar , but this -- this -- she did n't just take dante 's sperm sample from the lab . she stole dante and lulu 's fertilized embryo ! and then looked them and nikolas in the eye and swore up and down that she did n't know dante was the father and said this was all her crazy mother 's doing . ric : well , it appears that the crazy mother is involved in it , too . elizabeth : oh , come on . nobody forced britt into doing this . she deliberately impregnated herself with their baby . it 's right here in black and white . ric : how the hell did cameron make origami out of britt 's confession ? elizabeth : i do n't know . i do n't know . oh . no , i do -- i do know . this is the nurse 's ball flier . cameron and i walked in -- into the conference room , and britt was there with these fliers . she had an envelope in her hand , and she went to leave . she put it down , but she picked it -- she must 've taken the wrong one ! ric : oh , boy . elizabeth : oh , my god . ric : what ? elizabeth : oh , my god . nikolas . ric : what about him ? elizabeth : nikolas -- he has no idea . i warned him britt was gon na hurt him , but i did n't see this coming . ric : how could you ? okay , even so -- elizabeth : i need to tell him . ric : elizabeth , wait a minute . elizabeth : what ? ric : wh -- do you really have to go run and tell nikolas ?

[ scene_break ] tracy : lulu , i 'm so sorry things worked out this way . lulu : it 's just the way it is . nothing anyone can do about it . you should go find dad . tracy : no . this is much more important . lulu : no , it 's not . i just -- i 'm being silly .

[ scene_break ] sam : well , i guess i should start by saying before i knew that alexis was my mother , i -- i did n't like her . in fact , i - i actually -- i could n't stand her . and i - i told you about my daughter , right ? how i was pregnant by sonny . silas : she was stillborn . sam : yeah . i was at risk for abruptio placenta , and i was supposed to avoid stress . but kristina got sick , and ... alexis was desperate , and she , uh -- she basically had a meltdown on me , and my blood pressure spiked . silas : hey , sam . you do n't have to explain all this . i know how it all works . sam : you know , so i really did n't have any use for alexis anymore . and then -- surprise -- i found out that she was my mother . and not long after that , i was shot [ groans ] and alexis blamed jason , and jason blamed himself . alexis convinced jason to break up with me . and even worse than that ... she convinced him to call off the engagement , and i just was devastated . then i was in -- i was in a free fall . silas : sounds like you had every right to be . sam : alexis asked me to move in with her . and she and ric were having a lot of problems , and there was one night when alexis and i had this knock - down , drag- out fight , and she stormed off , and [ exhales sharply ] she left me alone there with ric . silas : one thing leads to another . sam : i was drinking ... a lot . not that that makes up for anything . i regretted it before it even started . ric -- i did n't even like him . he was -- he was a liar . he was a manipulator . even worse than that , he was obsessed with his brother . i mean , his half -- his half - brother . he 's been nursing this grudge against him , and he 's just been consumed by it . silas : is his half - brother anybody we know ? sam : sonny . yeah , they still despise each other . [ scene_break ] sonny : money is n't everything . you know , girls like emma , right -- beautiful , classy , smart -- girls who are worthy of your love , they do n't -- they do n't care about expensive things . spencer : what do they care about ? sonny : what a good girl cares about , what 's important to a good girl is a good man -- somebody who 's humble , who 's confident . they do n't like guys who brag . and you know what girls really do n't like ? guys who destroy other people 's artwork . spencer : so you 're saying it 's my fault ? sonny : you made a mistake . we all make mistakes . i 've made -- i 've made , uh ... plenty lately . but you know what you got to do with that mistake ? you got to make sure you do n't do it again , and you got to make sure that you 're better next time . spencer : there wo n't be a next time , uncle sonny . she was the only girl for me . sonny : hey .

[ scene_break ] lucas : hello .

[ scene_break ] elizabeth : excuse me , but i am not telling nikolas about all this because of my feelings for him . this is about lulu and dante getting back the baby that 's rightfully theirs . ric : all i am saying to -- elizabeth : you have no idea what they have been through . it has been one crushing disappointment after another . lulu ca n't even have children . and who 's her doctor ? ric : it 's right there in the letter . elizabeth : yeah , exactly . and britt stole their last chance at having a child together . ric : okay , i understand . just -- just take a second and think about who you -- elizabeth : how would you feel if someone was trying to take molly away from you ? that 's what britt 's doing . she 's trying to raise this baby as her own . ric : my point exactly . so why are you running to tell nikolas ? should n't you tell lulu first ? i mean , is n't she the one who 's most affected ? elizabeth : [ sighs ] mm . god , i hate it when you 're right . ric : thank you . elizabeth : okay . all right . yeah . i 'll tell lulu first . and then when nikolas finds out about britt , he 's gon na kick her to the curb .

[ scene_break ] sonny : what you 're saying is , you crumpled up the paper heart that cameron gave emma ? spencer : it was cheesy . i gave her that beautiful fabergé egg . it came all the way from russia . my ancestors saved it from the bolsheviks . and she let someone break it . sonny : maybe she did n't do it on purpose . spencer : that egg cost a fortune , and even though she let someone break it , i would have bought emma another one . does n't she know i could buy her all the happiness in the world ? sonny : can i be honest with you , spencer ? man to man . um , cameron did n't steal emma . i think you drove her away . spencer : [ scoffs ] [ scene_break ] molly : so how 'd you guys become a couple ? emma : well , cameron wanted to be my boyfriend at first . he 's very sweet and talented . cameron : i am . emma : then spencer wanted to be my boyfriend , but he turned out to be a big bully . tj : a bully ? molly : well , that 's not very nice . emma : he was almost as mean to me as britt used to be . [ scene_break ] britt : mother . what are you going to do to brad ? dr. obrecht : do n't worry about our secret . mutter will take care of you , schatzi . you go take care of your handsome prince . he looks out of sorts . [ scene_break ] lucas : you and britt are partners in crime ? not literally , right ? brad : [ sighs ] in order to land my position as lab manager , i had to do some favors for britt . lucas : [ chuckles ] okay . what kind of favors ? brad : i fixed some lab results for her . in exchange , i got my job . lucas : wow . okay . brad : yeah . that 's who you 're here under the stars with -- the guy who 's done some questionable , unethical , probably illegal things just so he could have his own little kingdom at gh . lucas : nobody figured it out ? brad : felix did . for the longest time , he 'd have nothing to do with me , even after i told him how i felt about him . finally , he challenged me to do the right thing . so i did . lucas : so what 'd you do ? brad : i overheard something about another baby . not britt 's . uh ... actually , it was your cousin lulu 's . i found out the baby that she and her husband were raising was n't theirs , so i told them . lucas : ohh . the christening , that was you . brad : i finally manned up and told the truth . and as self - serving as it was and as much trouble as it caused , it was right . see , that time -- that time , it did n't cost me a damn thing . lucas : what 's that mean ? brad : [ sighs ] there 's something else i know about , because i was a part of it . and i really want to tell the truth . lucas : so why do n't you ? brad : because if i do , this time , it 's gon na cost me everything . lucas : okay , so this goes beyond doctoring some lab - test results for britt . brad : [ chuckles ] yeah . i did much more than that for britt . [ scene_break ] ric : this is incredible . elizabeth : i know . i know . i - i knew britt was a class - a liar , but this -- this -- she did n't just take dante 's sperm sample from the lab . she stole dante and lulu 's fertilized embryo ! and then looked them and nikolas in the eye and swore up and down that she did n't know dante was the father and said this was all her crazy mother 's doing . ric : well , it appears that the crazy mother is involved in it , too . elizabeth : oh , come on . nobody forced britt into doing this . she deliberately impregnated herself with their baby . it 's right here in black and white . ric : how the hell did cameron make origami out of britt 's confession ? elizabeth : i do n't know . i do n't know . oh . no , i do -- i do know . this is the nurse 's ball flier . cameron and i walked in -- into the conference room , and britt was there with these fliers . she had an envelope in her hand , and she went to leave . she put it down , but she picked it -- she must 've taken the wrong one ! ric : oh , boy . elizabeth : oh , my god . ric : what ? elizabeth : oh , my god . nikolas . ric : what about him ? elizabeth : nikolas -- he has no idea . i warned him britt was gon na hurt him , but i did n't see this coming . ric : how could you ? okay , even so -- elizabeth : i need to tell him . ric : elizabeth , wait a minute . elizabeth : what ? ric : wh -- do you really have to go run and tell nikolas ? [ scene_break ] olivia : i realize that britt is ben 's mother . dante : good . olivia : it 's not like i had a vision or something with ben with lulu 's face on it . dante : i do n't want to hear -- i just -- i do n't want to hear anything about your visions . olivia : but i 'm just -- i 'm saying that my visions always came true , and this is not something that 's like that , so i 'm just -- dante : no , it 's not . so let 's just stop talking about it , okay ? because this is hard enough for lulu . [ scene_break ] tracy : lulu , i 'm so sorry things worked out this way . lulu : it 's just the way it is . nothing anyone can do about it . you should go find dad . tracy : no . this is much more important . lulu : no , it 's not . i just -- i 'm being silly . [ chuckles ] tracy : lulu , when i stepped in for your mother ... it was n't a temporary thing . it was for the long haul . and besides , i 'm about to be your stepmother again . lulu : yeah . i 'm really glad . tracy : i ca n't imagine how hard this must be for you . lulu : [ crying ] it 's so hard . it 's so hard . [ sniffles ] i just ca n't help but think that i am getting what i deserve . [ sniffles ] [ scene_break ] ric : are you sure that you want to run straight to nikolas ? elizabeth : yes . britt 's lying to him . she 's not ben 's mother , and she stole his sister 's baby ! ric : so you 're gon na run into the middle of his engagement party and announce to him and everybody that his fiancée is a baby thief ? elizabeth : well , that 's what you are when you steal someone else 's baby . ric : my question is , elizabeth , are you running to nikolas , because it 's the right course of action , or are you doing this because you 're trying to break up nikolas and britt ? [ scene_break ] sam : well , i guess i should start by saying before i knew that alexis was my mother , i -- i did n't like her . in fact , i - i actually -- i could n't stand her . and i - i told you about my daughter , right ? how i was pregnant by sonny . silas : she was stillborn . sam : yeah . i was at risk for abruptio placenta , and i was supposed to avoid stress . but kristina got sick , and ... alexis was desperate , and she , uh -- she basically had a meltdown on me , and my blood pressure spiked . silas : hey , sam . you do n't have to explain all this . i know how it all works . sam : you know , so i really did n't have any use for alexis anymore . and then -- surprise -- i found out that she was my mother . and not long after that , i was shot [ groans ] and alexis blamed jason , and jason blamed himself . alexis convinced jason to break up with me . and even worse than that ... she convinced him to call off the engagement , and i just was devastated . then i was in -- i was in a free fall . silas : sounds like you had every right to be . sam : alexis asked me to move in with her . and she and ric were having a lot of problems , and there was one night when alexis and i had this knock - down , drag- out fight , and she stormed off , and [ exhales sharply ] she left me alone there with ric . silas : one thing leads to another . sam : i was drinking ... a lot . not that that makes up for anything . i regretted it before it even started . ric -- i did n't even like him . he was -- he was a liar . he was a manipulator . even worse than that , he was obsessed with his brother . i mean , his half -- his half - brother . he 's been nursing this grudge against him , and he 's just been consumed by it . silas : is his half - brother anybody we know ? sam : sonny . yeah , they still despise each other . [ scene_break ] sonny : money is n't everything . you know , girls like emma , right -- beautiful , classy , smart -- girls who are worthy of your love , they do n't -- they do n't care about expensive things . spencer : what do they care about ? sonny : what a good girl cares about , what 's important to a good girl is a good man -- somebody who 's humble , who 's confident . they do n't like guys who brag . and you know what girls really do n't like ? guys who destroy other people 's artwork . spencer : so you 're saying it 's my fault ? sonny : you made a mistake . we all make mistakes . i 've made -- i 've made , uh ... plenty lately . but you know what you got to do with that mistake ? you got to make sure you do n't do it again , and you got to make sure that you 're better next time . spencer : there wo n't be a next time , uncle sonny . she was the only girl for me . sonny : hey .

[ scene_break ] lucas : does this have something to do with britt 's baby ? brad : w - why would you think that ? lucas : lulu told me that britt 's mother stole dante 's sperm from the lab . brad : yeah ? lucas : yeah . that 's your lab , right ? your little kingdom ? did you help britt 's mother steal dante 's sperm ? brad : lucas , i did so much more than that . in fact , that actually pales in comparison to what i really did for britt and her mother . [ footsteps approaching ] dr. obrecht : du hurensohn [ sob ] ! what are you two doing out here ?

[ scene_break ] tracy : lulu , why would you think you deserve to be childless ? lulu : you were with me , tracy . you were with me every step of the way when i terminated my pregnancy . tracy : [ sighs ] lulu . lulu , look at me . the unfortunate truth is that you can not carry a baby to term . sweetheart , you would have lost that baby anyway . lulu : but -- no , i know . britt said that , too , but it does n't change what i 've done . maybe this is karma . tracy : oh , lulu . lulu : no , i did n't want that baby . i ended that pregnancy , and now that i want a child of my own , every path for me is closed . tracy : you were young . you were not ready for motherhood . you made an agonizing decision that has given you endless amount of pain . and you 're not being punished because of it . lulu : then why is it happening ? i ca n't carry a baby . we ca n't adopt . i ca n't even produce any more eggs , and our embryos were destroyed . if this is n't my fault , then whose fault is it ? britt : ben . [ scene_break ] lucas : hello .

[ scene_break ] britt : lulu , what are you doing in here with my baby ? tracy : actually , we were looking for her father . and we just decided to come and check on your baby . i hope that 's not a problem . britt : no , it 's -- it 's fine . anyway , luke does n't seem to be in here . only my son is , and i 'm gon na take him to the party . it would be nice if you would both join us . lulu : [ sighs ] thank you for covering for me . the last thing i need is britt thinking that i am obsessed with her son . tracy : who cares after all the crap she has pulled ? how you doing ? lulu : terrible . i 'll get it together for the party . i just -- i have to find my way through this . tracy : you will . just do not blame yourself . you 're gon na overcome this . i promise . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : excuse me , but i am not telling nikolas about all this because of my feelings for him . this is about lulu and dante getting back the baby that 's rightfully theirs . ric : all i am saying to -- elizabeth : you have no idea what they have been through . it has been one crushing disappointment after another . lulu ca n't even have children . and who 's her doctor ? ric : it 's right there in the letter . elizabeth : yeah , exactly . and britt stole their last chance at having a child together . ric : okay , i understand . just -- just take a second and think about who you -- elizabeth : how would you feel if someone was trying to take molly away from you ? that 's what britt 's doing . she 's trying to raise this baby as her own . ric : my point exactly . so why are you running to tell nikolas ? should n't you tell lulu first ? i mean , is n't she the one who 's most affected ? elizabeth : [ sighs ] mm . god , i hate it when you 're right . ric : thank you . elizabeth : okay . all right . yeah . i 'll tell lulu first . and then when nikolas finds out about britt , he 's gon na kick her to the curb .

[ scene_break ] lisa : he 's fallen out of love with himself since he got involved with you . you 've somehow convinced him that he was n't worthy , that he needed to become someone smaller and sadder , someone like you . robin : it just kills you , does n't it , that patrick loves me and that all your stories about the good old days and nascar and sex against the wall -- [ scoffs ] -means nothing to patrick . you 've carried around these stories like they were some sort of holy grail , but patrick , well , he 's moved on with his life , so maybe you should try that . lisa : you know , i do n't think you ever grew up . i think you were always old . i think you were just always this old , little lady judging everybody around you , scolding them if they do n't live up to your standards of excellence and decorum . and i have to admit that when i first came to port charles , it mystified me why everyone defers to you . it 's like where does this authority come from ? i mean , how did you get on a pedestal so high that you feel qualified to look down on everybody else ? robin : maybe you feel looked down upon because you 're a slut who 's been trying to seduce a married man . lisa : it 's an ordinary sin , robin , okay ? happens all the time . you know , people work together . they get a little too familiar . one thing happens , and an affair ends up manifesting . all right ? yes , yes , it 's uncomfortable , but it is not the end of the world . unless , of course , you know , the scorned wife is the sainted robin scorpio , and that 's what raises a garden - variety infidelity to the level of grand tragedy , because you have hiv . which of course is the answer to the mystery that i just mentioned , why everyone defers to you . and now that i think of it , that 's how you got patrick in the first place .

[ scene_break ] dante : you already tipped off the balkan by refusing to meet in the usual place . i mean , he finds out you 're not the real ronan o'reilly , you 're dead . now is the time for all of us to cut our losses and get out of here while we still can . lucky : okay , well , you and lulu should go , 'cause i 'm seeing this thing through . lulu : he 's not gon na quit even though he probably should . dante : probably ? what part of `` dead `` do you not understand ? lucky : there are always ways to beat the odds . you just have to get creative . dante : lucky , look , i know you been running cons since you could talk , but you 're not trying to hustle a 2-bit card shark here . this guy is as lethal as they come . lucky : one meeting , that 's all i need . dante : well , good luck with that , 'cause the guy 's a ghost , and he keeps it that way by killing anyone who crosses his path . lucky : everyone except ronan o'reilly , which means i 'm in the perfect position to take the balkan down . dante : yeah , i thought the same thing when i was working undercover for sonny . lucky : right . you knew the risks going in , but you did it anyway . i mean , how is this any different ? dante : there 's a big difference between risking your life and throwing it away .

[ scene_break ] dante : the balkan hired ronan . what if he asks you about a job you 're supposed to know about , you hesitate , he shoots you ? lucky : i better not hesitate . dante : aw , come on , lucky . this is n't a joke . you got a family to think about . your cover gets blown , your kids grow up without a father . that 's a tough life . you do n't want that for them . lucky : what i want is for my kids to know that i did everything i could to make this world a safer place , just like you were trying to do for michael and morgan and kristina . dante : yeah , that 's not the same . lucky : well , the hell it is n't . i mean , you were working undercover , trying to bust a known crime figure . it 's exactly the same . would you have bailed if somebody just walked in and said , `` oh , it 's dangerous . `` lulu : not a chance . i tried . dante : okay , i got too close . it almost cost my life . look , you wan na go through with this , you go through with it , okay ? but you have to keep your emotions in check . you got ta stay detached . lucky : that 's exactly what i 'm trying to do , okay ? look , i appreciate you guys flying all the way over here . i mean , it says a lot , but i 'm not backing out . and having you here just complicates the whole situation for me . that 's why i need both of you leave now . dante : we 're not goin ' anywhere .

[ scene_break ] lisa : he 's fallen out of love with himself since he got involved with you . you 've somehow convinced him that he was n't worthy , that he needed to become someone smaller and sadder , someone like you . robin : it just kills you , does n't it , that patrick loves me and that all your stories about the good old days and nascar and sex against the wall -- [ scoffs ] -means nothing to patrick . you 've carried around these stories like they were some sort of holy grail , but patrick , well , he 's moved on with his life , so maybe you should try that . lisa : you know , i do n't think you ever grew up . i think you were always old . i think you were just always this old , little lady judging everybody around you , scolding them if they do n't live up to your standards of excellence and decorum . and i have to admit that when i first came to port charles , it mystified me why everyone defers to you . it 's like where does this authority come from ? i mean , how did you get on a pedestal so high that you feel qualified to look down on everybody else ? robin : maybe you feel looked down upon because you 're a slut who 's been trying to seduce a married man . lisa : it 's an ordinary sin , robin , okay ? happens all the time . you know , people work together . they get a little too familiar . one thing happens , and an affair ends up manifesting . all right ? yes , yes , it 's uncomfortable , but it is not the end of the world . unless , of course , you know , the scorned wife is the sainted robin scorpio , and that 's what raises a garden - variety infidelity to the level of grand tragedy , because you have hiv . which of course is the answer to the mystery that i just mentioned , why everyone defers to you . and now that i think of it , that 's how you got patrick in the first place . [ scene_break ] jason : why do n't you try to rest ? brenda : i 'm too cold . oh , i 'm so cold . jason : what are you -- brenda : how is he ? jason : i ca n't speak for him . brenda : well , how does his life seem ? jason : what do you want to know ? brenda : what happened between him and carly ? jason : they got divorced , which is the best thing for both of them . brenda : and carly moved on . what about sonny ? [ scene_break ] sonny : i saw michael tonight at jason 's . it was n't planned . sam was there . that 's it . carly : did he talk to you about school ? sonny : is he havin ' more problems at school ? carly : no . just that first day , the fight . sonny : dante told me that he talked to the principal , straightened everything out . carly : dante . heh . michael would n't be having problems in school if dante had n't sold him out in court and had him sent to prison . sonny : are we really goin ' back there ? dante did n't want michael to go to prison any more than anybody else did . carly : i know you have a blind spot when it comes to dante , like the second you found out he was your son , he could do no wrong . and that 's okay , because that 's who you are , all right ? and i love that about you , and i know you love all your kids the same . sonny : i do n't have to tell you what my kids mean to me . that 's why i turned myself in . i did n't want them to think i was a coward . carly : okay . so if you did n't have your kids to think about , would you have ever come back , or would you be with brenda right now ? [ scene_break ] dante : you already tipped off the balkan by refusing to meet in the usual place . i mean , he finds out you 're not the real ronan o'reilly , you 're dead . now is the time for all of us to cut our losses and get out of here while we still can . lucky : okay , well , you and lulu should go , 'cause i 'm seeing this thing through . lulu : he 's not gon na quit even though he probably should . dante : probably ? what part of `` dead `` do you not understand ? lucky : there are always ways to beat the odds . you just have to get creative . dante : lucky , look , i know you been running cons since you could talk , but you 're not trying to hustle a 2-bit card shark here . this guy is as lethal as they come . lucky : one meeting , that 's all i need . dante : well , good luck with that , 'cause the guy 's a ghost , and he keeps it that way by killing anyone who crosses his path . lucky : everyone except ronan o'reilly , which means i 'm in the perfect position to take the balkan down . dante : yeah , i thought the same thing when i was working undercover for sonny . lucky : right . you knew the risks going in , but you did it anyway . i mean , how is this any different ? dante : there 's a big difference between risking your life and throwing it away . [ scene_break ] lisa : so that 's what happened , is n't it ? patrick found out you had hiv , but by that time , it was too late . robin : patrick knew that i was hiv positive long before we ever slept together . lisa : yeah , but not before he hit on you . am i right ? because we both know how much patrick loves a challenge , and you with your snotty little attitude is like a red flag for him . i mean , he had to just flirt with you and get you sleep with him , and then once he started , he could n't back down when he found out that you had hiv . i mean , that would be bigoted , prejudiced . robin : you know , you are so sick . and i have to say it is fascinating to sit here and listen to you desperately try to rationalize something that is so simple and so clear . patrick and i love each other . that 's it . he loves me like he never loved you , lisa . lisa : well , all i can say is that loving you does n't appear to be much fun for patrick . robin : well , all i can say is you do n't know him anymore . patrick has a family now , and all you 've tried to do is destroy that . and , my god , you kidnapped our daughter . lisa : okay . where do you come up with this , robin ? okay , i took emma for ice cream . all right ? i asked the baby sitter 's permission . all right ? there was nothing dangerous about it at all . i even borrowed my friend 's car seat . robin : and , what , my hiv meds just magically disappeared ? my locker trashed itself ? lisa : well , apparently mine did . robin : no , you trashed it , just like you boiled my daughter 's toy , just like you stole my hiv meds . lisa : okay , hypothetically speaking , just for the sake of argument , what if i did steal your hiv meds ? i mean , so what ? i mean , it 's not like they 're irreplaceable . i mean , it 's a very common prescription . you just go the pharmacy , and you get a refill . i mean , yes , you losing your meds , it was an inconvenience , a minor irritation , but it is not the end of the world , robin . why does everything have to be such a big drama for you ? it 's like you turning my trip for ice cream with emma into a kidnapping . although , you know what ? you have to find some way to keep patrick 's attention . i just -- it 's too bad for emma . robin : what does that mean ? [ scene_break ] dante : the balkan hired ronan . what if he asks you about a job you 're supposed to know about , you hesitate , he shoots you ? lucky : i better not hesitate . dante : aw , come on , lucky . this is n't a joke . you got a family to think about . your cover gets blown , your kids grow up without a father . that 's a tough life . you do n't want that for them . lucky : what i want is for my kids to know that i did everything i could to make this world a safer place , just like you were trying to do for michael and morgan and kristina . dante : yeah , that 's not the same . lucky : well , the hell it is n't . i mean , you were working undercover , trying to bust a known crime figure . it 's exactly the same . would you have bailed if somebody just walked in and said , `` oh , it 's dangerous . `` lulu : not a chance . i tried . dante : okay , i got too close . it almost cost my life . look , you wan na go through with this , you go through with it , okay ? but you have to keep your emotions in check . you got ta stay detached . lucky : that 's exactly what i 'm trying to do , okay ? look , i appreciate you guys flying all the way over here . i mean , it says a lot , but i 'm not backing out . and having you here just complicates the whole situation for me . that 's why i need both of you leave now . dante : we 're not goin ' anywhere . [ scene_break ] jason : why do you wan na hear all this ? i mean , you 've moved on . you 've made a life without sonny . what 's it matter who he 's been with ? brenda : it 'll help me to know that he 's happy . it 'll help me to move on . and i need to know if someone else has ever made him happy . jason : well , he 's had a lot of girlfriends . brenda : i do n't care about that . has he ever been in love ? jason : he says that he was . brenda : what does that mean ? jason : i do n't know . it 's none of my business , brenda . brenda : ca n't say it , can you ? jason : say what ? brenda : that someone else has made him happy . jason : why do n't you get some rest ? brenda : does he ever talk about me to you ? jason : i do n't know . brenda : yeah , you do . jason : he used to , yeah . brenda : what 'd he use to say ? jason : he said that he would die remembering your face . brenda : heh .

[ scene_break ] lucky , irish accent : i thought the idea was to keep me from gettin ' killed . the balkan 's men see ronan o'reilly walkin ' around with a cop , i 'm as good as dead . dante : i came to ireland . you 're not gon na kick me out when it gets exciting . lucky : were n't you the one lecturing me about how lethal the balkan was ? dante : yeah . that 's why i 'm glad he 's pissed at you , not me . lucky : well , it 's lulu i 'm worried about . dante : hey , she held her own at the bar . must be the spencer dna , okay ? are we goin ' somewhere ? lucky : yeah , the balkan 's men had me in a warehouse around the corner . it was out of the way , but not abandoned . i 'm guessin ' they 'll be back . dante : okay , well , we 're gon na have one small problem . these guys piss ronan off , ronan would kill these guys normally . i 'm guessing interpol is n't gon na be cool with that . lucky : interpol wants me to be as convincing as possible . if there 's one thing i 've learned about ronan , manners were n't his strong suit . neither were morals . dante : okay , that 's my point . this guy , he made a living as a killer . if you 're gon na pretend to be ronan o'reilly and you 're not gon na kill people , you 're gon na send up red flags .

[ scene_break ] lisa : are you starting to have gaps in your memory ? because i 've told you no less than 20 times that i have no idea where emma is . so unless you left her playing in the middle of traffic , i 'm sure she 's fine . robin : what does that mean , what you said , `` it 's too bad for her `` ? lisa : oh , well , that 's just gon na be hard for her growing up with an attention junkie like you for a mother . i bet on some level , you 're even jealous of emma . robin : you 're sick . lisa : oh , she 's this darling little girl , and patrick dotes on her . i mean , i 'm sure it has to be threatening on some level . i mean , you 're not the center of patrick 's world anymore . emma is . and so you need to do something to regain the spotlight , and you wildly overreacting to patrick sleeping with me is one way to go about doing it . robin : you are the one that made sure that i found out that you and patrick slept together . lisa : okay , yes , i will admit to that . i did want you to know . you know , i was hoping that you 'd feel so put upon that you 'd dump him . i should have known that you would much rather torture him with guilt , which is why my one night with patrick had to turn into a hospital - wide crisis with you screaming down the halls and punching me and making baseless accusations so that everyone knows that poor , blameless robin got cheated on . you know , well , that one backfired to a certain extent , because you may be the scorned wife , but you 're also the suspended doctor . and why not just agree to counseling ? robin : i will if you will . lisa : no , thanks . i 'm actually startin ' to feel pretty fine . i 'm starting to enjoy myself again , you know , 'cause now that everything 's out in the open , people are being a lot nicer to me than i expected . it 's -- whuhh ! robin , no ! what are you doing ? ! robin ! i was gon na drive you back !
