[ gavel bangs ] brady : i know you think you know eric better than anyone in the world , but he 's my brother . nicole : he 's your brother , but he 's not crazy . he is not gon na marry you and kristen dimera . brady : well , i happen to think he will . and give us his blessing . eric : there 's something else that we need to talk about . kristen : yes , this pre - cana thing ? eric : brady told you about that ? kristen : yeah . and i would really like it if you would tell him that you thought it over and that the answer is no . eric : you want me to tell my brother that i wo n't let you take pre - cana counseling at st. luke 's , and i wo n't be the one to marry you ? kristen : exactly . eric : are your objections on any religious grounds ? kristen : [ laughs ] no . my objections are personal . will : the look on my mom 's face as i was being led away was the worst part . sonny : yeah , well , that 's a crappy dream , but it 's just a dream . it 's not an omen . will : where 's gabi ? is n't she supposed to be back with ari by now ? sonny : yeah , and i talked to her , and everything 's under control . will : okay , i find that hard to believe . sonny : well , child care - wise , everything 's under control . [ sighs ] look , i do n't want to testify against your mom either . will : my guess is that before you met me , you never needed immunity from prosecution . sonny : yeah , no , that 's true . i mean , before you were in my life , it was perfect , and then you came along and screwed everything up . will : thanks . sonny : everything is gon na be okay . i promise you we 're gon na get through this together . and you look fantastic . will : thanks . well , when this is over , i 'm never lying for my mom again . i 'll only lie for you . i hate secrets . melinda : i will prove that the defendant lied and continues to lie . i will prove that she had the motive , means and opportunity to murder detective bernardi . murder , ladies and gentlemen . that is what we are talking about in this case . she murdered marge bernardi 's husband . she murdered timmy bernardi 's father , a decorated hero of the salem police department . she took a sacred human life . and for that , she must pay . justin : so we hear the prosecutor say my client samantha brady lies . but here 's what she did n't say : that samantha brady is stupid . because she 's not . no , she 's far from it . so if , indeed , samantha brady is not stupid , why in the world would she shoot a man in a hospital room , knowing there was no viable means of escape ? because she had to . she had no choice . she had to stop bernardi right then and there . and why would she say that bernardi was holding a razor , if he was n't ? why would she make up something like that unless she knew that it could be corroborated ? why not just say that bernardi was choking detective hernandez or smothering him ? i mean , why invent a fictitious weapon ? she said so , ladies and gentlemen , because it 's the truth . and every time you ask yourself `` why ? `` during the course of this trial , the only answer is that samantha brady is telling the truth . chad : so what is it ? what 's wrong ? abigail : i 'm fine . and you 're gon na be fine . the important thing is that the lawyer got you immunity . chad : yeah , i just hate doing this to will 's mom . he 's so worried about her and his little brother and sisters and -- abigail : hey , chad . you did everything that you could to avoid this . so maybe now the best thing that you can do is just get it over with . chad : and get on with our lives , right ? i 'll text you later . tell me what 's wrong then , okay ? abigail : okay . nicole : the whole world , with the exception of you , of course , knows that kristen dimera is crazy . she 's a whack job , out there where the buses do n't run . brady : and you are the poster child for mental health , right ? nicole : and apparently it 's contagious , because you 're just as crazy as she is now . [ sighs ] [ softly ] after everything that she has done to your family , you really wan na do this whole death - till - you - part thing ? you do know that kristen sees death as a viable alternative to divorce ? brady : i 'm glad convent life has mellowed you out , nicole . nicole : i just have to accept the fact that she 's got her hooks in you . but eric ? why would eric wan na marry the two of you ? why ? i can just imagine how she got this sicko idea -- brady : it was n't her idea . it was my idea . eric : okay . just fyi ... guys like me are n't supposed to lie . kristen : well , that 's good , because i 'm not asking you to lie . eric : yes , you are , and it 's not even for a good reason . why do n't you just tell brady you do n't wan na do this ? kristen : look , he asked you before he talked to me . eric : another good reason to turn down this idea . kristen : but i 'm not asking you to lie , okay ? it 's to spare brady 's feelings . this whole pre - cana wedding thing ca n't happen . it would just be a whole lot easier if it came from you . abigail : wh -- cameron , please do n't go . cameron : uh , is , uh , everything okay with chad ? he -- he seemed upset . abigail : yeah , would n't you be too , if you were going through everything that he was going through ? cameron : [ sighs ] now tell me , what did your doctor have to say ? chad : no one else can know about this . not my family , not abigail , not will or sonny . cameron : why ? chad : because i do n't want anyone 's pity . that 's why . cameron : you mean -- chad : you were right about the brain tumor . turns out i 'm dying . cameron : so he finally told you the truth ? abigail : the truth ? melinda : the state calls chad dimera . ej : justin , why are they calling chad ? why are n't they calling abe or hope or somebody who could testify that ... sami : that i knew bernardi and i was lying about it ? justin : no , she does n't wan na call anyone who might open the door to the money that was found in bernardi 's son 's account . do you swear to tell the truth , the whole truth , and nothing but the truth , so help you god ? chad : i do . melinda : the state would like to introduce exhibit `` a. `` mr. dimera , did you record a video of samantha brady on may 7th of this year ? chad : yes . melinda : and can you tell us who else is in the video ? chad : detective bernardi . melinda : again , mr. dimera , so the jury can hear you . chad : detective bernardi . melinda : thank you . your honor , i request permission to play this video , to show the jury what happened weeks before detective bernardi 's murder . nicole : you want eric to marry you and kristen . this was your idea . brady : yeah , yeah . nicole : okay , wait . what ? brady : what ? what ? nicole : what is wrong with you ? brady : you know , i forgot . i 'm being a friend here . and i told you the truth . but you 're not being a friend , nicole . you 're the president and founder of the kristen dimera defamation committee , and i 'm sick of it . nicole : no , no . i am your friend , and i just want what 's best for you , and that 's to not marry that woman . brady : i do n't want to hear it anymore ! nicole : okay , all right . let 's just take kristen out of the equation , okay ? brady : fine . nicole : what about eric ? think about what this would do to him . you 're asking eric to marry you to the woman who tried to kill his mother . brady : do n't think that that has n't slipped my mind , all right . we 're all trying to move on here . nicole : fine , then move on . okay , marry -- marry her . just leave eric out of this . do n't put him in a position where he has to say no to you . brady : nicole , you know what ? i already asked him . nicole : oh , you did ? brady : yeah . nicole : oh , well , then how did it feel to have your brother the priest laugh in your face ? brady : he did n't laugh in my face . as a matter of fact , he 's thinking about it . and for your information , kristen is the problem . she 's the one that has the issues with this . and they 're talking about it right now as we speak . eric : i 'm not gon na sin to smooth your path . kristen : come on , father . i 'm not asking you to knock over a bank . eric : why are you so against the idea ? i mean , it seems to me that you 'd want me to be backing you up . kristen : [ slaps eric gently ] i just think that the less time you and i spend together , the better it will be . for brady , for me , and for you . ng we are flintstones kids cameron : well , i 'm glad he finally told you . abigail : what do you mean `` finally `` ? he tells me everything . he 's told me everything from the very beginning . cameron : really ? abigail : yes . he does n't want to testify against will 's mom , but we knew that we had to go to court sometime . cameron : [ sighs ] the trial , yeah . abigail : yes , the trial . i really do n't need you giving me trouble about chad right now , okay ? not now . cameron : abigail , what 's wrong ? abigail : chad tried really hard to keep me out of this whole video thing . why is everything so screwed up all the time ? cameron : okay , what is wrong ? abigail : i should probably just tell you anyway . it 's gon na be all over the paper , and i ca n't really keep it a secret . jj ... cameron : what about jj ? abigail : i just -- i feel like i do n't even know him anymore . melinda : nicely done , mr. scorsese . justin : your honor . judge sims : watch it , ms . trask . melinda : sorry . mr. dimera , you made that video on your phone , did n't you ? chad : yes . melinda : can you explain why you did n't come forward when ms . brady was first charged ? let me remind you that you lose your immunity if you lie under oath . chad : well , it sort of made ms . brady look ... i mean , it made it clear she knew the guy . melinda : you had to stop yourself from saying `` guilty `` just now , right ? justin : your honor . judge sims : watch it , ms . trask , and i mean it . melinda : mr. dimera , did your brother , ms . brady 's fiancé , know about the video as well ? chad : yes . melinda : what did he advise you to do ? chad : leave it alone . melinda : in other words , he advised you not to go to police . is that correct ? chad : yes . melinda : how would you describe ms . brady 's demeanor during the attack ? justin : your honor . melinda : in your judgment , mr. dimera , since you witnessed it in person . we need to make sure the camera did n't lie . judge sims : answer the question . chad : she was ... angry . melinda : mm , just one more question , mr. dimera . why did you take this video ? chad : i thought it was funny . melinda : now that the man she attacked in the video is dead , do you still think it 's funny ? justin : your honor . melinda : withdrawn . i have no more questions for this witness . judge sims : mr. kiriakis ? justin : i have no questions for this witness at this time . judge sims : witness is dismissed . [ bangs gavel ] sami : [ whispering ] why did n't you cross - examine him ? justin : because anything chad says would only dig you in deeper . sonny : 12-year - old fishing magazine . st the thing to pass the time . hey , i 'm not trying to be insensitive . will : i know . sonny : you know that , okay ? i 'm just trying to distract you , so you do n't implode . so ... [ inhales , exhales ] take a deep breath . will : i will . sonny : everything 's gon na be okay . will : this is my fault though , i think . sonny : here we go again . will : no , listen to me . listen to me . if i had n't have slept with gabi , then she would n't be pregnant , the wedding would n't have blown up , my mom would n't have broken up with rafe , right ? rafe would n't have had sex with grandma , and then stefano would n't have come after rafe . sonny : i - i think you could make prop 8 your fault . will : i 'm being serious . sonny : i do n't think you see that that chain of thoughts -- it 's a little egocentric . all the choices that your mother and rafe and stefano and kate -- it does n't matter . just that you slept with gabi . will : i 'm not -- sonny : okay , but think about the choices we 've made , and where those choices have led us . we get to go to bed every night together . and we get to wake up and take care of that beautiful baby girl . and for the record , if we could rewind and i could go back and stop you from sleeping with gabi , i would n't . i would n't , because i would lose too much that i love if that had n't happened . [ door opens ] jackson kiriakis . sonny : here , there 's a great article on creels . i think you 're gon na love it . i 'll see you in a little bit . will : grandma sami 's gon na be here any minute , okay , sweetheart ? okay . we should really come here me . sonny : we come here as often as we can , will . will : i know , it 's not enough . [ door opens ] sami : there you are . will : hey . sami : bless you for coming . will : hey ! mom , what happened ? sami : i 'm so happy to see you . and you . hi , sweetheart . did you miss me ? i missed you so much . i missed you all . more than you know . sonny : all right , come on . let 's go sit down for a second , okay ? will : what are these bruises ? what are they doing to you ? sami : hey , will . no matter what happens , this is not your fault . and i want you to promise that you wo n't feel guilty . you have nothing to feel -- will : wait , what do you mean , `` no matter what happens `` ? sami : [ whispering ] i ca n't spend the rest of my life like this . i just ca n't . time 's up ! will : no , no , no . okay , wait , wait , wait . sami : i love you . will : no , time 's not up . sami : will , i love you so much . will : what do you mean , `` time 's up `` ? sami : i love you , sweetheart ! will : i love you . hey ! she just got here ! sonny : all right , it 's gon na be okay , all right ? it 's gon na be okay . it 's gon na be okay . nicole : okay , well , that 's a good thing . because as soon as kristen opens her lying , hypocritical mouth , eric will realize what a phony , selfish , destructive bitch she is . brady : yeah , what could be more selfish and destructive than establishing a scholarship fund for kids ? nicole : oh , please . that 's just a protective covering . writing a check , it -- that 's not giving back , it 's buying goodwill . [ sighs ] brady , i am your friend ... brady : are you my friend ? nicole : yes , we are . bra : are you sure about that ? nicole : i do n't want to see kristen hurt you again . [ sighs ] okay , let 's -- let 's switch gears here . please think about what you 're doing to eric . what kind of brother would put his own brother , a priest , who does everything for everyone else , in an impossible position ? brady : i 'm so over this . nicole : no , i 'm not gon na let you do this . brady : this is not your call ! nicole : yes , it is ! brady : this is not your business ! back off ! eric : you know , i do n't understand why you 'd want to spend less time together . i thought we 'd be working quite well together on the scholarship program . kristen : we have been ! we have been . but , you know , contrary to most people 's opinions , i 'm not always completely selfish . i do consider other people 's feelings . and how do you think marlena felt when she found out that brady and i were engaged again ? i have been afraid to ask how she took the news that you and i were working together . eric : we 've had better conversations . kristen : exactly . so you marrying brady and me would only cause more pain and upset . eric : [ sighs ] kristen : frankly , i 'm stunned you did n't shut him down when he initially proposed it . eric : it crossed my mind . kristen : so do it now . eric : no . if you wan na stop it , it 's your choice . but i wo n't . melinda : is right for you . sonny : so help me god . melinda : mr. kiriakis . is it all right if i call you `` sonny `` ? we would n't want the jury to get confused between the witness and the counsel for the defense . sonny : sure . you can call me whatever you 'd like . melinda : great . now , sonny , you , like mr. dimera , are testifying today with immunity . sonny : yes . melinda : good thing . criminal obstruction can result in some pretty severe sentencing . sonny : i did not seek immunity . it was arranged without my knowledge . melinda : an advantage of having strong ties to the legal community . sonny : it was your office that did it , ms . trask . and i do n't have any ties to you . melinda : and what is your relationship with chad dimera ? sonny : business partner . melinda : do you remember what your business partner said to you when he gave you the video ? sonny : that i should know ... what i 'm getting into . melinda : i do n't understand . why would he warn you like that ? sonny : sami brady is will horton 's mother . melinda : and what is your relationship to ms . brady 's son ? sonny : he 's my partner . melinda : i thought you just said that chad dimera was your partner . sonny : chad dimera 's my business partner . will is my life partner . my lover . melinda : and what instructions did ej dimera give you , specifically in terms of your partner will horton ? sonny : he did n't want me to tell will about it . melinda : so you did n't ? sonny : no , i did . melinda : so because of the video , you knew , when ms . brady said she did n't know detective bernardi , that she was lying . justin : objection . melinda : withdrawn . the answer goes without saying . i have no further questions for this witness . judge sims : your witness , mr. kiriakis . justin : i just wan na ask you about your reason , or reasons , for not sharing the video . melinda : objection . beyond the scope . judge sims : you opened the door , ms . trask . you can answer the question . sonny : because i knew there was no way that will 's mom could murder someone . i do n't care what 's on that video . i knew she was telling the truth when she said she was protecting detective hernandez . justin : nothing further . melinda : redirect , your honor . judge sims : what a surprise . melinda : sonny , are you saying that ms . brady has never lied to you or to her son ? judge sims : answer the question , son . sonny : no , i 'm not saying that . melinda : i have nothing further for this witness , your honor . judge sims : you can stand down . [ bangs gavel ] melinda : the state calls william horton . abigail : so we 're trying to get a lawyer for him . but my uncle justin is busy with will 's mom 's case . oh , cameron . my brother was dealing drugs . i mean , if he gets the wrong judge , then he could go to prison for years . cameron : abigail , was -- was he using ? abigail : i do n't know . i mean , i used to know everything about my brother . and now ... i feel like he 's a complete stranger to me . cameron : okay , so -- so just now , did you talk to chad about this ? abigail : no . no , i did n't want to stress him out on his way to court . cameron : yeah , it 's too bad . you need somebody to talk to . abigail : yeah , well , i 'm talking to you now . and you 're being really nice to me , even after everything . cameron : listen , abigail , we 're friends , okay ? no matter what . now can i say something to you , as a friend ? abigail : yeah , sure . cameron : with all that you 're going through , maybe now is n't the best time to get serious about anyone . kristen : why are you being like this ? i me , honestly , you 've never made it a secret how much you hate brady and i being together . eric : okay , here it goes . there 's a guy who came to me , and he said not only does he want my help , but he wants god 's blessing to get his marriage off to a holy start . how am i supposed to say no ? kristen : i so hate arguing with good people . eric : if you and brady are meant to share a life together , i will not be the one who stands in the way . i 'm not just talking about as a couple , but perhaps as a family . maybe it 's god 's will for you to be blessed with children of your own someday . you know , from the way i 've seen you work with those children here , i think you would make a wonderful mother . nicole : yes , this is my call . because who else is gon na look out for eric ? clearly not you . fine . he -- he is the most selfless , giving , caring man that i have ever met . and if you wan na destroy your life and marry that lunatic , my god , why do you think god created vegas ? just do n't do this to him . he does not need the stress . he is your brother . and he is too good and too kind to say no to you . brady : you know what ? i 've -- i 've tried to get through to you . i really have . i 've tried to argue with you . i 've tried to ignore all the vile things you say about kristen and me , but no more . i ca n't do it anymore . i 'm sick of listening to you . i 'm sick of hearing what you have to say to me . i 'm tired of trying to be your friend , nicole . you think kristen and i are insane ? why do n't you take a good look in the mirror ? a deep look into a mirror ! you 're crazy and obsessed over my brother . why do n't you learn to let him go ? nicole : go to hell . eric : i think i have finally shut you up . i mean , with god 's help , of course . [ laughs ] kristen : so ... you really think i 'd make a good mom ? eric : if god chooses to bless you with children ... i do . kristen : okay . so if brady and i were gon na do this pre - cana thing , i mean , what does it entail ? nicole : so please think about what you 're doing to eric . eric : hi , this is father eric brady . i ca n't take your call right now , so please leave a message at the tone , and i 'll get back to you as soon as possible . thank you . pre - marriage counseling is tailored to the couple . but the three of us , we 'd probably meet several times . i 'd ask you how you see your lives together . kristen : oh , boy , i bet i 'm gon na get a good grilling . eric : [ laughs ] well , i 'd ask him some very tough questions too . kristen : yeah ? like you 'd ask brady -- he 'd have to explain what his feelings are for me to you ? eric : yeah , that 's how it works . kristen : okay , well , let me think about it . and thank you for , you know , making me see beyond my initial objection . you know , it gives me a different perspective . maybe it could be a good thing . eric : he works in mysterious ways . kristen : oh , boy , tell me about it . anyway , i will be in touch . anyway , thanks . bye . [ door shuts ] kristen : [ sighs ] it 's me . i need to see you immediately . abigail : chad . hey , how did it go ? chad : it was just about what i expected it to be . [ cell phone rings ] abigail : i 'm sorry , i really have to get this , but i 'll be back . chad : yeah . cameron : well , i should get going . cha whoa , whoa , whoa . what the hell are you trying to pull here ? sonny : it 'll be okay . will : okay . [ ej whispers inaudibly ] kristen : so i could end up seeing a lot more of eric , with brady in the room . dr. chyka : i know what you 're worried about , but i assure you , this will make no difference . eric : call me when you get this . and if you talk to her , tell sami i love her . [ tense music ] why does this keep happening to me ? nicole : eric . you can not -- you can not be thinking about marrying brady and kristen . kristen : i 'm sure you know what i 'm about to say . you better be right about this , chyka . dr. chyka : i keep telling you , you have nothing to worry about . kristen : right , just go back to that rock i found you under , okay ? have a nice day . if i get rid of this , i get rid of my one chance of shattering marlena 's complacent little life . but if i get rid of this , maybe i can give myself a chance at a decent , happy life with brady . pre - cana counseling ? maybe you do have a sense of humor . eric : let me tell you something , nicole . you do n't get to come in here and tell me about brady 's relationship with kristen . it 's none of your business . and you do n't tell me what to do or not to do . nicole : i 'm just looking out for you . eric : no , you 're not . you 're just doing what 's best for you . as usual , you do n't care about anyone but yourself . now would you just leave me alone ? [ sighs ] nicole : [ scoffs ] chad : i heard what you said to abigail . about not getting too serious with me . so -- so what do you do ? you -- you pull away from her , but you 're still trying to make sure she 's just friends with me until i 'm out of the picture ? cameron : listen , you do n't know what she 's going through . chad : well , obviously , something 's wrong . but you thought it 'd be a good idea to take advantage of that ? cameron : okay , look , i 'm sorry you 're sick , okay ? but you wo n't talk to me about your treatment , and you have n't told abigail anything . do you really think this is the right time for her to get even closer to you , under these circumstances ? think about that . abigail : is everything okay ? chad : yeah . melinda : so , will , did your mother ask you to lie for her , to cover up that she knew and hated detective bernardi , that she had physically attacked him ? will : no . melinda : mr. horton , i will remind you that you are under oath . will : well , my mom would not murder anyone , okay ? she was trying to protect rafe . judge sims : son , you need to answer the question . and refrain from offering your opinion . i 'll let it go this time , but if it happens again , i 'll have to find you in contempt . melinda : will , did your mother ask you to lie ? sami : [ mouths ] will : um ... melinda : we need a verbal response , will . will : yeah , mm - hmm . yeah , she did . melinda : did she ask you to lie to the police ? will : yes . she did . melinda : thanks for being honest with us . i have no further questions . judge sims : mr. kiriakis ? justin : i have no questions at this time . judge sims : the witness may step down . [ bangs gavel ] will : [ mutters ] thanks . well , i do n't wan na hurt her , but that 's what i keep doing . if she goes to jail , it 's ... my fault . sami : [ whispering ] why is she doing this ? justin : she 's gon na spend as much time as she can doing a character assassination , keep us from the evidence incriminating bernardi . judge sims : ms. trask ? melinda : the state calls kate roberts . sami : oh , great . well , this day has been a nightmare . now it 's gon na get worse . chad : everything is fine . but now i want you to tell me what happened . why are you so upset ? look , i wan na help you , okay ? any way i can . abigail : thank you . thank you so much . chad : [ kisses ] abigail : [ laughs ] brady : so have you heard anything about sami ? eric : no , i keep calling my dad , but it 's going straight to voice mail . i 'm sorry you wasted a trip . brady : no , no . actually , there 's -- there 's another reason why i came . i think i 've put you in a bad position . you know , i did n't mean to complicate things and get you involved in all this . eric : you know what ? no . kristen and i talked . brady : and ? eric : well , maybe this counseling - and - marrying - you thing will be a good idea . kristen said she 's gon na think about it . brady : she 's gon na think about it ? wow . eric : yeah , who knew , right ? that kristen would be the one to bring us closer . kristen : so maybe with just a little bit of counseling ... i could let go of the past . nicole : what the hell is that ? | sami 's trial began . brady and nicole talked about whether eric would marry him and kristen . kristen and eric also talk about him officiating the wedding . melinda made her opening statement and then justin made his opening statement . brady and nicole 's discussion turned into an argument . kristen asked eric if he could tell brady that they do n't have to counseling before they got married . melinda called chad to the stand . melinda asked chad about the video he took of sami fighting bernardi . brady did n't want to keep hearing what nicole had to say about kristen . nicole insisted that eric would n't want to marry brady and kristen . kristen believed it would be better for everyone if she and eric stayed away from each other . melinda continued to grill chad about the footage . chad 's testimony did n't help sami 's case . justin had no questions for chad because he did n't want him to make sami look worse . will had a fantasy that sami went to prison because of him . | <s>[INST] abigail : there you are . thank god . [ door shuts ] abigail : i really need to talk to you . chad : i ca n't , not right now , okay ? they just called . sami 's trial just started . i 'm going there right now to testify . abigail : oh , my god . what an awful day . chad : look , i got a text from sonny . he and will ... they both got called in for today . melinda : and am i correct that you knew about the video of your mother attacking the victim detective bernardi ? will : [ softly ] yeah , but ... melinda : i 'm sorry , i did n't hear you . will : yes , i knew about the video . melinda : and given the incriminating nature of the video , you lied to police , covering up that the video even existed . justin : objection . argumentative . judge sims : nice try , mr. kiriakis . answer the question , son . will : no , i did not tell anybody about the video . melinda : in point of fact , you lied under oath . but with good reason , of course . you were trying to help your mother cover up the fact that she murdered detective bernardi . justin : objection . melinda : just like three years ago , when you helped her cover up the fact that she shot ej dimera in the head . justin : your honor ! melinda : your honor , i 'm establishing a pattern here . the defendant has a history of trying to solve her problems with a gun and getting the witness here to lie about it , to aid and abet , to obstruct justice . but you and your mother are n't getting away with it this time . this time , you 're going straight to prison . judge sims : guard , escort the witness to a holding cell . sami : what ? no ! no ! you ca n't do that ! will : i 'm sorry , mom . sami : will , no . sonny : will . move it . sonny : will . will , hey , wake up . will , wake up , you 're having a nightmare . hey , you 're having a nightmare . it 's okay . will : oh , my god . that was awful . sonny : look , it was just a dream . whatever it was is not going to happen . will : well , i hope not . be seated ! judge sims : today 's docket ? the state versus samantha brady , for the murder of detective joseph bernardi . [ gavel bangs ] brady : i know you think you know eric better than anyone in the world , but he 's my brother . nicole : he 's your brother , but he 's not crazy . he is not gon na marry you and kristen dimera . brady : well , i happen to think he will . and give us his blessing . eric : there 's something else that we need to talk about . kristen : yes , this pre - cana thing ? eric : brady told you about that ? kristen : yeah . and i would really like it if you would tell him that you thought it over and that the answer is no . eric : you want me to tell my brother that i wo n't let you take pre - cana counseling at st. luke 's , and i wo n't be the one to marry you ? kristen : exactly . eric : are your objections on any religious grounds ? kristen : [ laughs ] no . my objections are personal . will : the look on my mom 's face as i was being led away was the worst part . sonny : yeah , well , that 's a crappy dream , but it 's just a dream . it 's not an omen . will : where 's gabi ? is n't she supposed to be back with ari by now ? sonny : yeah , and i talked to her , and everything 's under control . will : okay , i find that hard to believe . sonny : well , child care - wise , everything 's under control . [ sighs ] look , i do n't want to testify against your mom either . will : my guess is that before you met me , you never needed immunity from prosecution . sonny : yeah , no , that 's true . i mean , before you were in my life , it was perfect , and then you came along and screwed everything up . will : thanks . sonny : everything is gon na be okay . i promise you we 're gon na get through this together . and you look fantastic . will : thanks . well , when this is over , i 'm never lying for my mom again . i 'll only lie for you . i hate secrets . melinda : i will prove that the defendant lied and continues to lie . i will prove that she had the motive , means and opportunity to murder detective bernardi . murder , ladies and gentlemen . that is what we are talking about in this case . she murdered marge bernardi 's husband . she murdered timmy bernardi 's father , a decorated hero of the salem police department . she took a sacred human life . and for that , she must pay . justin : so we hear the prosecutor say my client samantha brady lies . but here 's what she did n't say : that samantha brady is stupid . because she 's not . no , she 's far from it . so if , indeed , samantha brady is not stupid , why in the world would she shoot a man in a hospital room , knowing there was no viable means of escape ? because she had to . she had no choice . she had to stop bernardi right then and there . and why would she say that bernardi was holding a razor , if he was n't ? why would she make up something like that unless she knew that it could be corroborated ? why not just say that bernardi was choking detective hernandez or smothering him ? i mean , why invent a fictitious weapon ? she said so , ladies and gentlemen , because it 's the truth . and every time you ask yourself `` why ? `` during the course of this trial , the only answer is that samantha brady is telling the truth . chad : so what is it ? what 's wrong ? abigail : i 'm fine . and you 're gon na be fine . the important thing is that the lawyer got you immunity . chad : yeah , i just hate doing this to will 's mom . he 's so worried about her and his little brother and sisters and -- abigail : hey , chad . you did everything that you could to avoid this . so maybe now the best thing that you can do is just get it over with . chad : and get on with our lives , right ? i 'll text you later . tell me what 's wrong then , okay ? abigail : okay . nicole : the whole world , with the exception of you , of course , knows that kristen dimera is crazy . she 's a whack job , out there where the buses do n't run . brady : and you are the poster child for mental health , right ? nicole : and apparently it 's contagious , because you 're just as crazy as she is now . [ sighs ] [ softly ] after everything that she has done to your family , you really wan na do this whole death - till - you - part thing ? you do know that kristen sees death as a viable alternative to divorce ? brady : i 'm glad convent life has mellowed you out , nicole . nicole : i just have to accept the fact that she 's got her hooks in you . but eric ? why would eric wan na marry the two of you ? why ? i can just imagine how she got this sicko idea -- brady : it was n't her idea . it was my idea . eric : okay . just fyi ... guys like me are n't supposed to lie . kristen : well , that 's good , because i 'm not asking you to lie . eric : yes , you are , and it 's not even for a good reason . why do n't you just tell brady you do n't wan na do this ? kristen : look , he asked you before he talked to me . eric : another good reason to turn down this idea . kristen : but i 'm not asking you to lie , okay ? it 's to spare brady 's feelings . this whole pre - cana wedding thing ca n't happen . it would just be a whole lot easier if it came from you . abigail : wh -- cameron , please do n't go . cameron : uh , is , uh , everything okay with chad ? he -- he seemed upset . abigail : yeah , would n't you be too , if you were going through everything that he was going through ? cameron : [ sighs ] now tell me , what did your doctor have to say ? chad : no one else can know about this . not my family , not abigail , not will or sonny . cameron : why ? chad : because i do n't want anyone 's pity . that 's why . cameron : you mean -- chad : you were right about the brain tumor . turns out i 'm dying . cameron : so he finally told you the truth ? abigail : the truth ? melinda : the state calls chad dimera . ej : justin , why are they calling chad ? why are n't they calling abe or hope or somebody who could testify that ... sami : that i knew bernardi and i was lying about it ? justin : no , she does n't wan na call anyone who might open the door to the money that was found in bernardi 's son 's account . do you swear to tell the truth , the whole truth , and nothing but the truth , so help you god ? chad : i do . melinda : the state would like to introduce exhibit `` a. `` mr. dimera , did you record a video of samantha brady on may 7th of this year ? chad : yes . melinda : and can you tell us who else is in the video ? chad : detective bernardi . melinda : again , mr. dimera , so the jury can hear you . chad : detective bernardi . melinda : thank you . your honor , i request permission to play this video , to show the jury what happened weeks before detective bernardi 's murder . nicole : you want eric to marry you and kristen . this was your idea . brady : yeah , yeah . nicole : okay , wait . what ? brady : what ? what ? nicole : what is wrong with you ? brady : you know , i forgot . i 'm being a friend here . and i told you the truth . but you 're not being a friend , nicole . you 're the president and founder of the kristen dimera defamation committee , and i 'm sick of it . nicole : no , no . i am your friend , and i just want what 's best for you , and that 's to not marry that woman . brady : i do n't want to hear it anymore ! nicole : okay , all right . let 's just take kristen out of the equation , okay ? brady : fine . nicole : what about eric ? think about what this would do to him . you 're asking eric to marry you to the woman who tried to kill his mother . brady : do n't think that that has n't slipped my mind , all right . we 're all trying to move on here . nicole : fine , then move on . okay , marry -- marry her . just leave eric out of this . do n't put him in a position where he has to say no to you . brady : nicole , you know what ? i already asked him . nicole : oh , you did ? brady : yeah . nicole : oh , well , then how did it feel to have your brother the priest laugh in your face ? brady : he did n't laugh in my face . as a matter of fact , he 's thinking about it . and for your information , kristen is the problem . she 's the one that has the issues with this . and they 're talking about it right now as we speak . eric : i 'm not gon na sin to smooth your path . kristen : come on , father . i 'm not asking you to knock over a bank . eric : why are you so against the idea ? i mean , it seems to me that you 'd want me to be backing you up . kristen : [ slaps eric gently ] i just think that the less time you and i spend together , the better it will be . for brady , for me , and for you . ng we are flintstones kids cameron : well , i 'm glad he finally told you . abigail : what do you mean `` finally `` ? he tells me everything . he 's told me everything from the very beginning . cameron : really ? abigail : yes . he does n't want to testify against will 's mom , but we knew that we had to go to court sometime . cameron : [ sighs ] the trial , yeah . abigail : yes , the trial . i really do n't need you giving me trouble about chad right now , okay ? not now . cameron : abigail , what 's wrong ? abigail : chad tried really hard to keep me out of this whole video thing . why is everything so screwed up all the time ? cameron : okay , what is wrong ? abigail : i should probably just tell you anyway . it 's gon na be all over the paper , and i ca n't really keep it a secret . jj ... cameron : what about jj ? abigail : i just -- i feel like i do n't even know him anymore . melinda : nicely done , mr. scorsese . justin : your honor . judge sims : watch it , ms . trask . melinda : sorry . mr. dimera , you made that video on your phone , did n't you ? chad : yes . melinda : can you explain why you did n't come forward when ms . brady was first charged ? let me remind you that you lose your immunity if you lie under oath . chad : well , it sort of made ms . brady look ... i mean , it made it clear she knew the guy . melinda : you had to stop yourself from saying `` guilty `` just now , right ? justin : your honor . judge sims : watch it , ms . trask , and i mean it . melinda : mr. dimera , did your brother , ms . brady 's fiancé , know about the video as well ? chad : yes . melinda : what did he advise you to do ? chad : leave it alone . melinda : in other words , he advised you not to go to police . is that correct ? chad : yes . melinda : how would you describe ms . brady 's demeanor during the attack ? justin : your honor . melinda : in your judgment , mr. dimera , since you witnessed it in person . we need to make sure the camera did n't lie . judge sims : answer the question . chad : she was ... angry . melinda : mm , just one more question , mr. dimera . why did you take this video ? chad : i thought it was funny . melinda : now that the man she attacked in the video is dead , do you still think it 's funny ? justin : your honor . melinda : withdrawn . i have no more questions for this witness . judge sims : mr. kiriakis ? justin : i have no questions for this witness at this time . judge sims : witness is dismissed . [ bangs gavel ] sami : [ whispering ] why did n't you cross - examine him ? justin : because anything chad says would only dig you in deeper . sonny : 12-year - old fishing magazine . st the thing to pass the time . hey , i 'm not trying to be insensitive . will : i know . sonny : you know that , okay ? i 'm just trying to distract you , so you do n't implode . so ... [ inhales , exhales ] take a deep breath . will : i will . sonny : everything 's gon na be okay . will : this is my fault though , i think . sonny : here we go again . will : no , listen to me . listen to me . if i had n't have slept with gabi , then she would n't be pregnant , the wedding would n't have blown up , my mom would n't have broken up with rafe , right ? rafe would n't have had sex with grandma , and then stefano would n't have come after rafe . sonny : i - i think you could make prop 8 your fault . will : i 'm being serious . sonny : i do n't think you see that that chain of thoughts -- it 's a little egocentric . all the choices that your mother and rafe and stefano and kate -- it does n't matter . just that you slept with gabi . will : i 'm not -- sonny : okay , but think about the choices we 've made , and where those choices have led us . we get to go to bed every night together . and we get to wake up and take care of that beautiful baby girl . and for the record , if we could rewind and i could go back and stop you from sleeping with gabi , i would n't . i would n't , because i would lose too much that i love if that had n't happened .

[ sighs ] brady , i am your friend ... brady : are you my friend ? nicole : yes , we are . bra : are you sure about that ? nicole : i do n't want to see kristen hurt you again . [ sighs ] okay , let 's -- let 's switch gears here . please think about what you 're doing to eric . what kind of brother would put his own brother , a priest , who does everything for everyone else , in an impossible position ? brady : i 'm so over this . nicole : no , i 'm not gon na let you do this . brady : this is not your call ! nicole : yes , it is ! brady : this is not your business ! back off ! eric : you know , i do n't understand why you 'd want to spend less time together . i thought we 'd be working quite well together on the scholarship program . kristen : we have been ! we have been . but , you know , contrary to most people 's opinions , i 'm not always completely selfish . i do consider other people 's feelings . and how do you think marlena felt when she found out that brady and i were engaged again ? i have been afraid to ask how she took the news that you and i were working together . eric : we 've had better conversations . kristen : exactly . so you marrying brady and me would only cause more pain and upset . eric : [ sighs ] kristen : frankly , i 'm stunned you did n't shut him down when he initially proposed it . eric : it crossed my mind . kristen : so do it now . eric : no . if you wan na stop it , it 's your choice . but i wo n't . melinda : is right for you . sonny : so help me god . melinda : mr. kiriakis . is it all right if i call you `` sonny `` ? we would n't want the jury to get confused between the witness and the counsel for the defense . sonny : sure . you can call me whatever you 'd like . melinda : great . now , sonny , you , like mr. dimera , are testifying today with immunity . sonny : yes . melinda : good thing . criminal obstruction can result in some pretty severe sentencing . sonny : i did not seek immunity . it was arranged without my knowledge . melinda : an advantage of having strong ties to the legal community . sonny : it was your office that did it , ms . trask . and i do n't have any ties to you . melinda : and what is your relationship with chad dimera ? sonny : business partner . melinda : do you remember what your business partner said to you when he gave you the video ? sonny : that i should know ... what i 'm getting into . melinda : i do n't understand . why would he warn you like that ? sonny : sami brady is will horton 's mother . melinda : and what is your relationship to ms . brady 's son ? sonny : he 's my partner . melinda : i thought you just said that chad dimera was your partner . sonny : chad dimera 's my business partner . will is my life partner . my lover . melinda : and what instructions did ej dimera give you , specifically in terms of your partner will horton ? sonny : he did n't want me to tell will about it . melinda : so you did n't ? sonny : no , i did . melinda : so because of the video , you knew , when ms . brady said she did n't know detective bernardi , that she was lying . justin : objection . melinda : withdrawn . the answer goes without saying . i have no further questions for this witness . judge sims : your witness , mr. kiriakis . justin : i just wan na ask you about your reason , or reasons , for not sharing the video . melinda : objection . beyond the scope . judge sims : you opened the door , ms . trask . you can answer the question . sonny : because i knew there was no way that will 's mom could murder someone . i do n't care what 's on that video . i knew she was telling the truth when she said she was protecting detective hernandez . justin : nothing further . melinda : redirect , your honor . judge sims : what a surprise . melinda : sonny , are you saying that ms . brady has never lied to you or to her son ? judge sims : answer the question , son . sonny : no , i 'm not saying that . melinda : i have nothing further for this witness , your honor . judge sims : you can stand down . [ bangs gavel ] melinda : the state calls william horton . abigail : so we 're trying to get a lawyer for him . but my uncle justin is busy with will 's mom 's case . oh , cameron . my brother was dealing drugs . i mean , if he gets the wrong judge , then he could go to prison for years . cameron : abigail , was -- was he using ? abigail : i do n't know . i mean , i used to know everything about my brother . and now ... i feel like he 's a complete stranger to me . cameron : okay , so -- so just now , did you talk to chad about this ? abigail : no . no , i did n't want to stress him out on his way to court . cameron : yeah , it 's too bad . you need somebody to talk to . abigail : yeah , well , i 'm talking to you now . and you 're being really nice to me , even after everything . cameron : listen , abigail , we 're friends , okay ? no matter what . now can i say something to you , as a friend ? abigail : yeah , sure . cameron : with all that you 're going through , maybe now is n't the best time to get serious about anyone . kristen : why are you being like this ? i me , honestly , you 've never made it a secret how much you hate brady and i being together . eric : okay , here it goes . there 's a guy who came to me , and he said not only does he want my help , but he wants god 's blessing to get his marriage off to a holy start . how am i supposed to say no ? kristen : i so hate arguing with good people . eric : if you and brady are meant to share a life together , i will not be the one who stands in the way . i 'm not just talking about as a couple , but perhaps as a family . maybe it 's god 's will for you to be blessed with children of your own someday . you know , from the way i 've seen you work with those children here , i think you would make a wonderful mother . nicole : yes , this is my call . because who else is gon na look out for eric ? clearly not you . fine . he -- he is the most selfless , giving , caring man that i have ever met . and if you wan na destroy your life and marry that lunatic , my god , why do you think god created vegas ? just do n't do this to him . he does not need the stress . he is your brother . and he is too good and too kind to say no to you . brady : you know what ? i 've -- i 've tried to get through to you . i really have . i 've tried to argue with you . i 've tried to ignore all the vile things you say about kristen and me , but no more . i ca n't do it anymore . i 'm sick of listening to you . i 'm sick of hearing what you have to say to me . i 'm tired of trying to be your friend , nicole . you think kristen and i are insane ? why do n't you take a good look in the mirror ? a deep look into a mirror ! you 're crazy and obsessed over my brother . why do n't you learn to let him go ? nicole : go to hell . eric : i think i have finally shut you up . i mean , with god 's help , of course . [ laughs ] kristen : so ... you really think i 'd make a good mom ? eric : if god chooses to bless you with children ... i do . kristen : okay . so if brady and i were gon na do this pre - cana thing , i mean , what does it entail ? nicole : so please think about what you 're doing to eric . eric : hi , this is father eric brady . i ca n't take your call right now , so please leave a message at the tone , and i 'll get back to you as soon as possible . thank you . pre - marriage counseling is tailored to the couple . but the three of us , we 'd probably meet several times . i 'd ask you how you see your lives together . kristen : oh , boy , i bet i 'm gon na get a good grilling . eric : [ laughs ] well , i 'd ask him some very tough questions too . kristen : yeah ? like you 'd ask brady -- he 'd have to explain what his feelings are for me to you ? eric : yeah , that 's how it works . kristen : okay , well , let me think about it . and thank you for , you know , making me see beyond my initial objection . you know , it gives me a different perspective . maybe it could be a good thing . eric : he works in mysterious ways . kristen : oh , boy , tell me about it . anyway , i will be in touch . anyway , thanks . bye .

[ cellphone chimes ] liam : am i , uh , keeping you from work ? steffy : it 's -- it 's okay . liam : not really , but it 's sweet of you to say so . listen . i 'm gon na , uh -- just gon na go outside for a bit , try to make sense of things . steffy : okay . thomas . thomas . thomas : steffy . steffy : thomas . what the hell are you doing ? thomas : you were ready to tell him , were n't you ? steffy : you 've been spying on us . thomas : answer the question . steffy : [ sighs ] yes , i was gon na tell him . i feel awful about initiating that kiss . hope already left . but you knew that . thomas : okay , do n't feel bad about that , all right ? that 's all on me . i 'm the one who told you that hope was coming , and you did a great job . steffy : yeah , i should feel proud of myself for setting hope up . thomas : you should . for fighting for your family . and it 's about time . you do n't owe hope anything . you have just as much right to liam as she does . steffy : [ sighs ] look , it was nice waking up and seeing liam snuggled up to our daughter . yeah . it brought up a lot of memories . and i really hope that kelly has more moments like that with her father . thomas : and you can have it more and more every day . look , i know you 're conflicted , but it 's time to claim the family that you should 've had years ago . look , it 's gon na take some heavy lifting , but i 'll do most of that . you just may have to help from time to time . steffy : [ groans ] thomas : all right ? but look -- hey . together we can build a future for both of our families . and it 's what our families deserve . it 's what kelly and douglas deserve . make it happen with liam , steffy . take your family back . brooke : you and liam love each other . you 're finally so close to having the future you 've always wanted . i mean , there 's got to be some way that you can salvage this . i wanted to save us . but now i know that 's not possible . the conditions that liam made -- asking me to turn my back on douglas , the little boy who gave our daughter back to us -- i ca n't do it . and liam should know that . i 'm not gon na just turn a blind eye and hope for the best like the rest of his family . i am going to continue to protect him and to care for him . i just wish liam had done the same with my heart . it 's been years of this carousel with this back - and - forth , and i just -- i thought we had finally found stability . but then i go over there and i turn the corner , and there -- there he is . liam is in steffy 's arms , kissing her . it was like the ground just dropped out from underneath me . i thought we 'd be engaged . but instead , we 've been torn apart . i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . i need -- i need some air . [ door opens ] steffy : [ sobs ] when we started our story who knew where it would go the chapters moved so quickly you loved me oh , so you told me but something happened and the plot turned cold the pages stopped turning and now we 're all over if i can turn back the hands of time i would change so much more than history tonight if you could grant me a second chance i 'd be the boy that you once knew and i swear that you 'd say `` i do ``Summarize.[/INST]hope , upset , is packing liam 's things in the cabin when brooke drops by . hope tells her what happened at steffy 's house . they discuss it over and over . meanwhile , liam and steffy are still in shock back at her place and discuss what happened . steffy is about to tell liam about thomas ' involvement in their kiss when thomas , who 's been peeking at them through the window , texts her not to blow it . liam goes back out to the beach , so steffy sneaks out the other door to chat with thomas . steffy feels guilty , but thomas urges her to fight for her family . hope also goes outside for some air . at the end , both liam and hope are staring off into space while music plays in the background .</s> | 3,228 |

[ chuckles ] do n't you look pretty as a picture this morning ? abigail : ahem . jordan : did you get rafe fired ? answer me ! chad : why would i do that ? jordan : because i told you that rafe was coming after you , and i heard what rafe said to you . why would he even be here if you had nothing to do with it ? chad : because i know he just got exactly what he deserved . it should have happened a long time ago . sonny : look , i get that you 're busy , but this is important . will : and i 'm on a deadline . i 'm waiting for someone . got ta go . sonny : i ca n't understand you . will , are you there ? hello ? h -- paul : i heard you came to see me last night at my hotel . i 'm really sorry that i missed you . hope : bree 's saying that , uh , you called her after she talked to me , and as ridiculous as it sounds , threatened her if she ever did it again . aiden : well , she said that because ... it 's exactly what i did . hope : you threatened her ? aiden : and i would do it again . hope : so what bree said was true , you threatened her after you found out she tried to warn me about you . i just ca n't believe this , that you would threaten a woman . aiden : hope , it 's not what you think . hope : really ? aiden : look , we ca n't talk about this here , okay ? let 's go somewhere a little bit more private . i need to make you understand that you can trust me , that i can explain . brady : i was worried . i heard you two yelling . melanie : we 're fine . brady : all right , well , i thought that -- melanie : you thought wrong . you 've been wrong about a few things . theresa : huh . wow , i could n't have said it better myself . you know , for once , melanie and i actually agree on something . you need to leave . jordan : you know why rafe was fired ? chad : they probably found out that he knew what gabi did to melanie -- right after it happened -- and did n't tell anyone . jordan : you knew about that too ? chad : yeah . i told you that already . jordan : which is why i 'm wondering who else could have done this to rafe . kate : mwah . [ laughs ] will : thank you for your help . kate : well , i was a little surprised you wanted to talk to me about it . will : well , i know that i violated my confidentiality clause , and so you ca n't tell anyone what you read . kate : honey , i wo n't . will : i knew i could trust you , and with all the time you spent at titan publishing ... i need your advice . kate : okay , any time . will : so you got it , the rough draft of the article on paul narita ? kate : i did . will : and what did you think ? kate : i think he has a very powerful arm ... and an equally powerful personality . sonny : i do n't know why you would think that . paul : the bellboy told me . so you show up at my door late new year 's eve -- or early new year 's day . what 's up with that ? sonny : wow , that bellboy 's just full of information . he told me you already had company . paul : i did , but that was strictly business . sonny : strictly business ? late new year 's eve , early new year 's day ? paul : you do n't believe me . you think as short as a time as i 've been in this town , i 've already been with someone else ? theresa : look , i honestly do n't know where your paperwork is , but i 'll see if i can find it , okay ? i mean , there 's work being done in anne 's office right now , but i 'll see if i can sneak in and look around . melanie : thank you . theresa : sure . so i 'll see you back here in an hour or so ? melanie : great . theresa : cool . you know , melanie , before we knew who the other one was and we hated each other , we kind of hit it off . maybe we could start again , and at least try to get along , 'cause we both have to work here , and , well , we have one thing in common . melanie : we do ? theresa : yeah , we both feel the same way about brady . melanie : what ? theresa : we both know he 's , like , this wannabe knight in shining armor , that he rides into town , but when it comes to real situations , he 's completely inept on what to do or what to say , and -- right ? he 's well intentioned , but -- melanie : he 's definitely well intentioned . theresa : well , yeah , but that 's not everything . i mean , seriously , come on , let 's be honest , when it comes to women , the dude is , like , lame and useless and -- i mean , he thinks he 's being so honest , but really , he 's just leading people on , and he tries to be , like , your best friend , he 's mr . sensitivity , but in the end , it 's always all about brady . melanie : when it should be all about you , right ? theresa : what ? come on , you know i 'm telling the truth . but he 's got all that money , he 's got a grandpa that covers for him no matter what he does . i mean , look , maybe it 's not his fault that he 's a self - centered , spoiled , `` used to having his own way `` loser , but -- melanie : okay , let 's shut up about brady . brady : you do n't want my help , melanie ? that 's the last time i 'll ever offer it . great . why do they -- [ groans ] melanie : [ sputters ] maggie : brady ? are you okay ? you frankly look like you could use a -- brady : drink ? maggie : a meeting . brady : [ sighs ] clyde : well , i 'm sorry if i 'm interrupting , but i just wanted to see ben 's new place , and i know he 's starting school tomorrow , so -- abigail : yes , thanks to you . he 's very excited . clyde : oh , i am too . yeah . my boy in college , i could n't be more proud of him . [ laughing ] abigail : yeah . you know who else is proud ? is ben . to be wearing his great- grandfather 's watch ? i mean , you have to know that that meant so much to him . clyde : well , i 'm just trying to make up for lost time , you know , and past sins . abigail : yeah , well , from where i 'm standing , it looks like you are off to a good start . clyde : well , thank you for telling me . abigail : okay , i 'm gon na get to work , but there 's juice and , you know , stuff in the fridge , so just help yourself . clyde : miss deveraux ? abigail : oh , abigail . clyde : abigail , it was nice talking to you . abigail : it was nice talking to you too , clyde . bye . clyde : bye - bye . huh . [ clicks tongue ] good catch , ben . jordan : who else even knew that about rafe ? chad : melanie , ej , sami , who probably told kate , because she told her everything else . jordan : kate knew . chad : and sonny knew , but there 's no way sonny would have done anything like that look , jordan , i swear to you , i had nothing to do with what happened to rafe . sonny : do you really think you 're fooling people , paul ? that bellboy clearly has your number . paul : he does n't know anything . besides , it does n't matter . sonny : does n't matter ? the year we spent together , it mattered , 24/7 . paul : that was the past . let 's talk about now . the last time that we talked , i told you that i still loved you , that i really believe we could be together , the way we always dreamt about . no secrets . no hiding . and you said no . but then you come to see me very , very late at my hotel room . have you changed your mind ? this is jim . aiden : after meredith died , i had to make a home for chase , help him get through about the worst thing that could happen to a kid , and bree would not leave us alone . she shoved her way into our life any way she could , lying , making false statements to the police , just twisting and exaggerating things that happened . so i have chase who 's barely hanging on by a thread , and then there 's this neurotic , hate - filled woman who 's determined to bring me down . i had no recourse but to get a restraining order and to start to put together a case for libel . i had to stop her for chase 's sake . and i think i finally scared her , because the things she said were just so out there . they were so wrong that i might have won . i mean , libel suits are a tough , but i could have won that one . hope : could have won ? you did n't file the suit , did you ? aiden : i did n't . i did n't file the suit because of chase . look , he did n't need a father consumed with a court case . he did n't need his parent 's personal life on nancy grace . what he needed was for me to be there , making peanut butter and jelly sandwiches , throwing the ball in the back yard . it 's not easy for me to turn my back on a fight , but i did . and since i was n't gon na fight back , i decided the best thing for us to do was to get out of portland . and this woman , she wo n't give up . so while i do n't want to go through with an actual lawsuit , i will do whatever it takes to stop her . she will not ruin my son 's life with her lies . brady : we both know that when i say i need a drink , `` a drink `` means that i need a meeting , and i 'm going to one at 11 : 00 . maggie : good , good . do you want to talk now ? because , i mean , i can see you 're upset about something . brady : not upset , not upset . i 'm a little frustrated . it seems no good deed goes unpunished these days . you know , you try to help someone out , you say , `` excuse me , can i help ? `` and they -- it 's nothing . it is nothing . maggie : okay . well , i have to go , and i can see that this is n't the right time . i mean , we can talk later if you want , but whatever `` it `` was , it was n't `` nothing . `` melanie : where do you get off talking about brady ? you do n't know him . theresa : i do n't know him ? i married him . melanie : yeah , you married his money . theresa : god . melanie : and that whole thing was fake anyway , so it lasted , what , five minutes ? theresa : [ scoffs ] melanie : you do n't know who brady is or who he could be . theresa : oh , oh , right i do n't know , 'cause he 's not a drunk loser , he 's a diamond in the rough , right ? melanie : wow , you 're disgusting . theresa : and you 're bipolar . look , two minutes ago , you told him to leave the room , and now , you wo n't hear a word against him ? melanie : yeah , from you . so i 'm gon na go , 'cause i think i might be sick . theresa : you 're so dramatic . it 's always a pleasure ! bitch . [ sighs ] you know what , i could use some fresh air myself . clyde : i 'm real glad you got a nice place to live in , ben . and a nice girl like abigail to share it with . ben : me too . [ chuckles ] clyde : you two are getting kind of serious , huh ? ben : well , i mean , i am crazy about her , but i think i just need to finish school first , and just get my life together . clyde : yeah , you want to be worthy . ben : yeah , i do . i just want her to know she 's not making a mistake with me . clyde : oh . i think she knows she 's not . she 's proud of you , son , just like i am . ben : [ chuckles ] jordan : i believe you . chad : good . jordan : and i 'm sorry . it 's just , when i heard that about rafe -- chad : you have no need to be sorry . i do n't have a good history with rafe , i understand . okay , but there is something that i need to ask you . jordan : okay . chad : okay , it 's just that you were upset , almost protective . d - do you still ... you know , have -- jordan : chad , rafe and i are over . it 's just , you know , i still hated hated hearing that about him . you know , he 's a good guy . chad : i know , and i like that you 're loyal , okay ? put that on the never ending list of things that i adore about jordan ridgeway . jordan : [ sighs ] chad : what 's wrong ? jordan : well , now i 'm worried about you . i heard rafe say you 've made things worse for yourself . chad : loyal to me too . do n't worry , okay ? i can handle myself . jordan : right . okay . well , i need to get to the hospital . abigail and i are meeting about our project . chad : good . you worry about that , not me . jordan : [ chuckles ] chad : okay ? i have everything under control . jordan : okay . will : you do n't think the article 's well written ? kate : [ scoffs ] honey , it 's beautifully written . i mean , you show what it takes for him to play baseball . i mean , you make that real . you make the reader feel how taxing it is physically and mentally , and then he has to get out of it all ? are you kidding me ? i mean , that 's great sports writing . will : but ? kate : well , you know how i felt about him his rookie year . will : he 's a phenom . kate : yeah , absolutely , but what really struck me about him is how well he was hiding his pitches . you know , in september , he was still fooling batters who had faced him all summer long . that kind of deception , it takes experience . and yet he started out that way . will : you 're trying to tell me something . kate : well , he gave you really good quotes . he answered all of your questions . it 's a terrific article , and yet when i finished reading it , i did n't know him any better than when i started . will : i feel the same way . kate : mm . you know what ? i think you need to throw him a changeup . sonny : i should n't have come to your hotel , because ... nothing 's changed . paul : sonny , if you 're backing off because you thought i was with someone , i swear to you , it was nothing but business . nothing happened . sonny : that 's too bad . because if you really care about someone else and you have feelings , then you should go for it . if you 're really ready to be who you want to be and not give a damn what other people think , i think that 's wonderful . you should be happy and proud about that . but i 'm not the person who can share that with you . paul : well , at least be honest with me . tell me why you came to see me . sonny : i was gon na ask you for a loan . and i should n't have . it 's -- was n't fair to you , and i do n't need it now . paul : you sure ? sonny : yes , i 'm sure . i 'm sorry that 's not what you wanted to hear . paul : it 's okay . as always , you were honest . sonny : i got to go . paul : sonny , there 's still something wrong . sonny : no , everything 's fine . paul : okay , that was n't honest , and you want to know how i know that ? because no matter what , i can tell when i look at you . we still have a connection . paul : if you ever change your mind . sonny : i have to get back to work . kate : he 's the all - american success story , so why so cautious ? what does he have to hide ? will : now , if i get the answer to that -- kate : mm - hmm , then you 'd have one hell of a story . but unfortunately , you 've finished your interviews , right ? will : actually , he left the door open for one more follow - up . why would n't he ? we 'll just cover the same material and put the same spin on things . well , i know what i 've got to do . kate : and what 's that ? will : well , it 's just like you said . i 've got to throw him a changeup and see if he offers . kate : [ laughs ] good luck . hope : i 've only read two emails from the woman , and already , i want to do a lot more than threaten her . my favorite type : a vindictive woman who ca n't spell . aiden : yeah , well , she did -- and apparently still does -- have an obsession with me . hope : aiden , you extended an olive branch and she got even nastier . aiden : yeah , when i got that last email from her , i just wanted to drag her into court , put her on the stand , and pull her apart , but -- hope : chase ? aiden : it 's all so inflammatory , you know , the press would be all over it . really , i could n't see how i 'd make her pay without my son ending up collateral damage . hope : i understand . aiden : i think you do . maybe even more than i realized . hope : meaning ? aiden : i think you 've been in the same kind of situation with someone you cared about , that you were trying to protect . hope : i really do n't know what you 're talking about . aiden : i 'm talking about rafe . [ phone ringing ] mandrake : yes , miss dimera , finally . it is important . i have an update about our situation ... with theresa donovan . theresa : no , it 's just a dream , that 's all . maggie : theresa ?

[ laughs ] look , i know you 're wishing that i was a little bit more interesting of a story , but i 'm a pretty dull guy . i 'm just simple . i 'm just a kid who could -- will : throw a baseball ? what you see is what you get ? paul : you seem pretty mad . will : mad , anger , yeah , let 's talk about that . have you ever been angry at anybody ? have you ever been frustrated , lonely ? have you ever lashed out at someone ? paul : if you get angry , you lose control of the baseball . will : do you remember when i asked you if you 've ever been in love ? you treated it like it was a yes or no question . paul : i think some things are private . will : yes , i agree , and i stand by my promise not to write anything that you do n't want in print . paul : fine . you just asked a lot of questions . will : just ... pick one . answer one , you choose . paul : well , it 's your article , you choose . will : and you 'll answer honestly ? paul : yes . will : are you -- paul : am i what ? will : are you lonely ? do you ever get lonely ? ben : so new year 's eve . great ? sonny : not exactly . chad : how long before you manage to clear off that table over there ? ben : oh , gee , boss , i do n't know , i mean , i was thinking of waiting until the client came back out of the can and finished their cup of coffee , but i can get on that right now if you want me to . chad : i was just asking . ben : right . by the way , great job on not coming in here so much . you 're clearly a man of your word . sonny : i told you , ben , if you have a problem with chad being here , you can find yourself a new job . abigail : yes , it looks like everything 's in order . jordan : okay , so how long do you think it 'll take the board to approve it ? abigail : well -- kate : what makes you think the board is ever going to approve it ? maggie : what are you afraid of ? theresa : well , maggie , it 's just so weird , i mean , i walk through this way all the time , but now ... i keep having this weird dream , over and over , that i 'm walking through here , and ... now it even seems creepy in daylight . i -- i hate winter . everything 's dead . i 'm sorry , way too much information , right ? i mean , it 's not like you even give a damn about me . maggie : well -- theresa : no , i should go . i - i should -- look , it was great seeing you , but i should get back to work because your precious , little granddaughter , she needs something , and it 's not a good idea to keep her waiting , so -- see you around . melanie : [ babbles ] i want to not be awkward and stupid acting around -- i 'm talking about when you and i -- when -- when we -- when we -- brady : when we k -- when we kissed , m -- melanie : yeah , when that . brady : and that we kissed , and now things are -- things are weird between us right now , right ? melanie : yeah , i know . i know , and i do n't know why . i 've never not been able to talk to you about something , and vice ver -- even when i was being stupid and counting cards and i got you beat up . brady : even when i was acting like a moron ... melanie : yes . brady : when i was -- had troubles with women and drugs and -- melanie : yes , and liquor . brady : do n't want to forget the liquor , yeah , i mean -- melanie : of course not . brady : that 's -- i think that -- i think that 's why -- i mean , we 're both kind of idiots that way , and we -- that 's why we like each other so much . that 's why we have a good time , and that 's why everything is -- everything 's always cool in the end for us , you know ? melanie : yeah , i know , but it 's not cool right now . brady : it 's not , no . melanie : right , i mean -- [ scoffs ] you 're -- you 're -- you 're one of my best friends . you 're -- you 're -- i 'm -- you 're my best friend , and i do n't -- i do n't want to ruin that . brady : me neither , i do n't want -- i do n't want to do that . melanie : good . okay , so then we 're on the same page , we do n't want to ruin our friendship . brady : right . we 're on the same -- i do n't want to do that . melanie : good , okay , so why does it feel like more ? kate : i have to admit , i have a few reservations about your little project . jordan : `` little project . `` the woman lives to condescend . you know , is it fun for you to try and screw up a project , the sole purpose of which is to help people in need ?

[ chuckles ] do n't you look pretty as a picture this morning ? abigail : ahem . jordan : did you get rafe fired ? answer me ! chad : why would i do that ? jordan : because i told you that rafe was coming after you , and i heard what rafe said to you . why would he even be here if you had nothing to do with it ? chad : because i know he just got exactly what he deserved . it should have happened a long time ago . sonny : look , i get that you 're busy , but this is important . will : and i 'm on a deadline . i 'm waiting for someone . got ta go . sonny : i ca n't understand you . will , are you there ? hello ? h -- paul : i heard you came to see me last night at my hotel . i 'm really sorry that i missed you . hope : bree 's saying that , uh , you called her after she talked to me , and as ridiculous as it sounds , threatened her if she ever did it again . aiden : well , she said that because ... it 's exactly what i did . hope : you threatened her ? aiden : and i would do it again . hope : so what bree said was true , you threatened her after you found out she tried to warn me about you . i just ca n't believe this , that you would threaten a woman . aiden : hope , it 's not what you think . hope : really ? aiden : look , we ca n't talk about this here , okay ? let 's go somewhere a little bit more private . i need to make you understand that you can trust me , that i can explain . brady : i was worried . i heard you two yelling . melanie : we 're fine . brady : all right , well , i thought that -- melanie : you thought wrong . you 've been wrong about a few things . theresa : huh . wow , i could n't have said it better myself . you know , for once , melanie and i actually agree on something . you need to leave . jordan : you know why rafe was fired ? chad : they probably found out that he knew what gabi did to melanie -- right after it happened -- and did n't tell anyone . jordan : you knew about that too ? chad : yeah . i told you that already . jordan : which is why i 'm wondering who else could have done this to rafe . kate : mwah .

[ laughing ] abigail : yeah . you know who else is proud ? is ben . to be wearing his great- grandfather 's watch ? i mean , you have to know that that meant so much to him . clyde : well , i 'm just trying to make up for lost time , you know , and past sins . abigail : yeah , well , from where i 'm standing , it looks like you are off to a good start . clyde : well , thank you for telling me . abigail : okay , i 'm gon na get to work , but there 's juice and , you know , stuff in the fridge , so just help yourself . clyde : miss deveraux ? abigail : oh , abigail . clyde : abigail , it was nice talking to you . abigail : it was nice talking to you too , clyde . bye . clyde : bye - bye . huh . [ clicks tongue ] good catch , ben . jordan : who else even knew that about rafe ? chad : melanie , ej , sami , who probably told kate , because she told her everything else . jordan : kate knew . chad : and sonny knew , but there 's no way sonny would have done anything like that look , jordan , i swear to you , i had nothing to do with what happened to rafe . sonny : do you really think you 're fooling people , paul ? that bellboy clearly has your number . paul : he does n't know anything . besides , it does n't matter . sonny : does n't matter ? the year we spent together , it mattered , 24/7 . paul : that was the past . let 's talk about now . the last time that we talked , i told you that i still loved you , that i really believe we could be together , the way we always dreamt about . no secrets . no hiding . and you said no . but then you come to see me very , very late at my hotel room . have you changed your mind ? this is jim . aiden : after meredith died , i had to make a home for chase , help him get through about the worst thing that could happen to a kid , and bree would not leave us alone . she shoved her way into our life any way she could , lying , making false statements to the police , just twisting and exaggerating things that happened . so i have chase who 's barely hanging on by a thread , and then there 's this neurotic , hate - filled woman who 's determined to bring me down . i had no recourse but to get a restraining order and to start to put together a case for libel . i had to stop her for chase 's sake . and i think i finally scared her , because the things she said were just so out there . they were so wrong that i might have won . i mean , libel suits are a tough , but i could have won that one . hope : could have won ? you did n't file the suit , did you ? aiden : i did n't . i did n't file the suit because of chase . look , he did n't need a father consumed with a court case . he did n't need his parent 's personal life on nancy grace . what he needed was for me to be there , making peanut butter and jelly sandwiches , throwing the ball in the back yard . it 's not easy for me to turn my back on a fight , but i did . and since i was n't gon na fight back , i decided the best thing for us to do was to get out of portland . and this woman , she wo n't give up . so while i do n't want to go through with an actual lawsuit , i will do whatever it takes to stop her . she will not ruin my son 's life with her lies . brady : we both know that when i say i need a drink , `` a drink `` means that i need a meeting , and i 'm going to one at 11 : 00 . maggie : good , good . do you want to talk now ? because , i mean , i can see you 're upset about something . brady : not upset , not upset . i 'm a little frustrated . it seems no good deed goes unpunished these days . you know , you try to help someone out , you say , `` excuse me , can i help ? `` and they -- it 's nothing . it is nothing . maggie : okay . well , i have to go , and i can see that this is n't the right time . i mean , we can talk later if you want , but whatever `` it `` was , it was n't `` nothing . `` melanie : where do you get off talking about brady ? you do n't know him . theresa : i do n't know him ? i married him . melanie : yeah , you married his money . theresa : god . melanie : and that whole thing was fake anyway , so it lasted , what , five minutes ? theresa : [ scoffs ] melanie : you do n't know who brady is or who he could be . theresa : oh , oh , right i do n't know , 'cause he 's not a drunk loser , he 's a diamond in the rough , right ? melanie : wow , you 're disgusting . theresa : and you 're bipolar . look , two minutes ago , you told him to leave the room , and now , you wo n't hear a word against him ? melanie : yeah , from you . so i 'm gon na go , 'cause i think i might be sick . theresa : you 're so dramatic . it 's always a pleasure ! bitch . [ sighs ] you know what , i could use some fresh air myself . clyde : i 'm real glad you got a nice place to live in , ben . and a nice girl like abigail to share it with . ben : me too . [ chuckles ] clyde : you two are getting kind of serious , huh ? ben : well , i mean , i am crazy about her , but i think i just need to finish school first , and just get my life together . clyde : yeah , you want to be worthy . ben : yeah , i do . i just want her to know she 's not making a mistake with me . clyde : oh . i think she knows she 's not . she 's proud of you , son , just like i am . ben : [ chuckles ] jordan : i believe you . chad : good . jordan : and i 'm sorry . it 's just , when i heard that about rafe -- chad : you have no need to be sorry . i do n't have a good history with rafe , i understand . okay , but there is something that i need to ask you . jordan : okay . chad : okay , it 's just that you were upset , almost protective . d - do you still ... you know , have -- jordan : chad , rafe and i are over . it 's just , you know , i still hated hated hearing that about him . you know , he 's a good guy . chad : i know , and i like that you 're loyal , okay ? put that on the never ending list of things that i adore about jordan ridgeway . jordan : [ sighs ] chad : what 's wrong ? jordan : well , now i 'm worried about you . i heard rafe say you 've made things worse for yourself . chad : loyal to me too . do n't worry , okay ? i can handle myself . jordan : right . okay . well , i need to get to the hospital . abigail and i are meeting about our project . chad : good . you worry about that , not me . jordan : [ chuckles ] chad : okay ? i have everything under control . jordan : okay . will : you do n't think the article 's well written ? kate : [ scoffs ] honey , it 's beautifully written . i mean , you show what it takes for him to play baseball . i mean , you make that real . you make the reader feel how taxing it is physically and mentally , and then he has to get out of it all ? are you kidding me ? i mean , that 's great sports writing . will : but ? kate : well , you know how i felt about him his rookie year . will : he 's a phenom . kate : yeah , absolutely , but what really struck me about him is how well he was hiding his pitches . you know , in september , he was still fooling batters who had faced him all summer long . that kind of deception , it takes experience . and yet he started out that way . will : you 're trying to tell me something . kate : well , he gave you really good quotes . he answered all of your questions . it 's a terrific article , and yet when i finished reading it , i did n't know him any better than when i started . will : i feel the same way . kate : mm . you know what ? i think you need to throw him a changeup . sonny : i should n't have come to your hotel , because ... nothing 's changed . paul : sonny , if you 're backing off because you thought i was with someone , i swear to you , it was nothing but business . nothing happened . sonny : that 's too bad . because if you really care about someone else and you have feelings , then you should go for it . if you 're really ready to be who you want to be and not give a damn what other people think , i think that 's wonderful . you should be happy and proud about that . but i 'm not the person who can share that with you . paul : well , at least be honest with me . tell me why you came to see me . sonny : i was gon na ask you for a loan . and i should n't have . it 's -- was n't fair to you , and i do n't need it now . paul : you sure ? sonny : yes , i 'm sure . i 'm sorry that 's not what you wanted to hear . paul : it 's okay . as always , you were honest . sonny : i got to go . paul : sonny , there 's still something wrong . sonny : no , everything 's fine . paul : okay , that was n't honest , and you want to know how i know that ? because no matter what , i can tell when i look at you . we still have a connection . paul : if you ever change your mind . sonny : i have to get back to work . kate : he 's the all - american success story , so why so cautious ? what does he have to hide ? will : now , if i get the answer to that -- kate : mm - hmm , then you 'd have one hell of a story . but unfortunately , you 've finished your interviews , right ? will : actually , he left the door open for one more follow - up . why would n't he ? we 'll just cover the same material and put the same spin on things . well , i know what i 've got to do . kate : and what 's that ? will : well , it 's just like you said . i 've got to throw him a changeup and see if he offers . kate : [ laughs ] good luck . hope : i 've only read two emails from the woman , and already , i want to do a lot more than threaten her . my favorite type : a vindictive woman who ca n't spell . aiden : yeah , well , she did -- and apparently still does -- have an obsession with me . hope : aiden , you extended an olive branch and she got even nastier . aiden : yeah , when i got that last email from her , i just wanted to drag her into court , put her on the stand , and pull her apart , but -- hope : chase ? aiden : it 's all so inflammatory , you know , the press would be all over it . really , i could n't see how i 'd make her pay without my son ending up collateral damage . hope : i understand . aiden : i think you do . maybe even more than i realized . hope : meaning ? aiden : i think you 've been in the same kind of situation with someone you cared about , that you were trying to protect . hope : i really do n't know what you 're talking about . aiden : i 'm talking about rafe . [ phone ringing ] mandrake : yes , miss dimera , finally . it is important . i have an update about our situation ... with theresa donovan . theresa : no , it 's just a dream , that 's all . maggie : theresa ? [ door closing ] melanie : okay , hi . sorry , i 'm sorry , i was out of line . brady : okay . melanie : i know you were just trying to help . brady : it wo n't happen again . melanie : okay . i 'm gon na go . you know what , actually , i want to talk to you about some -- brady : i want to talk to you -- just wait -- wait -- melanie : do you -- brady : just wait . melanie : why did you want me to wait ? ben : [ sighs ] what -- what did you want to talk to me about ? melanie : right , i - i want to talk to you about last night . brady : we already did . melanie : yeah , more . i want to talk more about it . paul : will . will : i 'm sorry i did n't call first . i wanted to take you up on your offer for a follow - up . paul : do you need another quote ? will : no . i just want one more at bat . with psoriatic arthritis , i had intense joint pain that got worse and worse . paul : `` another at bat . `` you know , the pitcher and the batter are adversaries . i thought you said we 're on the same side . will : you would want me to think that , would n't you ? paul : have i said something to upset you ? will : no , never . paul : did i not ever answer one of your questions , turn off your recorder ? will : no . but i 'm supposed to write a story about you , the real you , and you -- you requested me specifically , but all you 've done is just foul off my pitches . paul : [ laughs ] think you just mixed up your sports metaphor . will : see , that -- that is exactly what i 'm talking about . you -- you do n't ask me , what am i talking about ? you do n't tell me that i 'm wrong . you talk about metaphors , you move away from the question . it 's like it 's already just an instinct for you . and you have this great technique and this masterful control , and you use it to make sure that no one gets even a glimpse inside that body made for baseball . have you ever let someone see inside you . ever ? paul : you did , right in this room . will : i saw the pain that you felt when you learned that you could n't play the game anymore , but you were never like that when we talked about people , feelings . paul : this is quite some follow up . [ laughs ] look , i know you 're wishing that i was a little bit more interesting of a story , but i 'm a pretty dull guy . i 'm just simple . i 'm just a kid who could -- will : throw a baseball ? what you see is what you get ? paul : you seem pretty mad . will : mad , anger , yeah , let 's talk about that . have you ever been angry at anybody ? have you ever been frustrated , lonely ? have you ever lashed out at someone ? paul : if you get angry , you lose control of the baseball . will : do you remember when i asked you if you 've ever been in love ? you treated it like it was a yes or no question . paul : i think some things are private . will : yes , i agree , and i stand by my promise not to write anything that you do n't want in print . paul : fine . you just asked a lot of questions . will : just ... pick one . answer one , you choose . paul : well , it 's your article , you choose . will : and you 'll answer honestly ? paul : yes . will : are you -- paul : am i what ? will : are you lonely ? do you ever get lonely ? ben : so new year 's eve . great ? sonny : not exactly . chad : how long before you manage to clear off that table over there ? ben : oh , gee , boss , i do n't know , i mean , i was thinking of waiting until the client came back out of the can and finished their cup of coffee , but i can get on that right now if you want me to . chad : i was just asking . ben : right . by the way , great job on not coming in here so much . you 're clearly a man of your word . sonny : i told you , ben , if you have a problem with chad being here , you can find yourself a new job . abigail : yes , it looks like everything 's in order . jordan : okay , so how long do you think it 'll take the board to approve it ? abigail : well -- kate : what makes you think the board is ever going to approve it ? maggie : what are you afraid of ? theresa : well , maggie , it 's just so weird , i mean , i walk through this way all the time , but now ... i keep having this weird dream , over and over , that i 'm walking through here , and ... now it even seems creepy in daylight . i -- i hate winter . everything 's dead . i 'm sorry , way too much information , right ? i mean , it 's not like you even give a damn about me . maggie : well -- theresa : no , i should go . i - i should -- look , it was great seeing you , but i should get back to work because your precious , little granddaughter , she needs something , and it 's not a good idea to keep her waiting , so -- see you around . melanie : [ babbles ] i want to not be awkward and stupid acting around -- i 'm talking about when you and i -- when -- when we -- when we -- brady : when we k -- when we kissed , m -- melanie : yeah , when that . brady : and that we kissed , and now things are -- things are weird between us right now , right ? melanie : yeah , i know . i know , and i do n't know why . i 've never not been able to talk to you about something , and vice ver -- even when i was being stupid and counting cards and i got you beat up . brady : even when i was acting like a moron ... melanie : yes . brady : when i was -- had troubles with women and drugs and -- melanie : yes , and liquor . brady : do n't want to forget the liquor , yeah , i mean -- melanie : of course not . brady : that 's -- i think that -- i think that 's why -- i mean , we 're both kind of idiots that way , and we -- that 's why we like each other so much . that 's why we have a good time , and that 's why everything is -- everything 's always cool in the end for us , you know ? melanie : yeah , i know , but it 's not cool right now . brady : it 's not , no . melanie : right , i mean -- [ scoffs ] you 're -- you 're -- you 're one of my best friends . you 're -- you 're -- i 'm -- you 're my best friend , and i do n't -- i do n't want to ruin that . brady : me neither , i do n't want -- i do n't want to do that . melanie : good . okay , so then we 're on the same page , we do n't want to ruin our friendship . brady : right . we 're on the same -- i do n't want to do that . melanie : good , okay , so why does it feel like more ? kate : i have to admit , i have a few reservations about your little project . jordan : `` little project . `` the woman lives to condescend . you know , is it fun for you to try and screw up a project , the sole purpose of which is to help people in need ?

ca n't say i 'm surprised . harley : ten years . mallet : i think it 's only been eight or nine . harley : ten years and you ... you end up here ? i mean , what is worse than being in prison ? being in prison with your ex- husband who cheated on you . mallet : god , cooper , nobody can hold a grudge like you . harley : a grudge ? a grudge ? a grudge ? mallet : what do you want me to say ? that i 'm sorry ? i ca n't change what happened . harley : well , if you came here looking for sympathy , you are in the wrong place . there could n't be a wronger place in the world ! mallet : you know what ? this is n't how i pictured it . harley : what ? mallet : seeing you again . in all the times i thought about it , this was never how it went . harley : really ? because this is exactly how i pictured it . i figured you 'd come visit me in prison , you 'd flash me that smile , sure i 'd forgive you , and the next thing you know , it 's lockdown . mallet : it 's really good to see you . you look good , considering . what ? what ? i just wanted to see you . i wanted to see how you 're getting along . harley : i 'm in prison . it pretty much sucks . but hey , i look good . i guess that 's all that matters , right ? mallet : i should n't have ... okay , i guess we have to keep this professional . harley : professional ? i 'm a prisoner . this is n't a job for me . this is my life . mallet : that 's not what i meant . harley : i do n't care what you meant . mallet : i should get out of here . harley : i hate you . i would n't even be in here if it was n't for you . coming up on `` guiding light `` ... cassie : i need a little distance . jeffrey : do you mean that ? cassie : yeah , i do . jeffrey : then come with me . harley : i ca n't think about what i lost when you slept with some chick in your surveillance van ten years ago , okay ? i 'm too busy thinking about what i 've lost now , in the present . mallet : so it 's my fault you got sent up for murder ? harley : i would n't have been with phillip spaulding if you had n't cheated on me , or anybody else , for that matter . my whole life would be different . mallet : yeah . you would n't have had kids . harley : we would have . somehow . mallet : probably not . so you 're telling me you would have traded your boys to keep things status quo with me ? you would go back and change everything ? harley : if it meant not ending up here ? no . of course not . i still hate you . mallet : you should . what i did was just rotten . harley : you have no idea . mallet : what happened to get you in here , cooper ? harley : are you asking me if i killed phillip ? mallet : ( sighs ) harley : what do you think ? mallet : i do n't know . i 've seen you angry enough , like that time with your dad . harley : i was hurt . mallet : and you wanted to hurt him . harley : i would n't have killed him . mallet : so , phillip took your kids . huh ? i mean , it 's understandable if that ... harley : i did n't kill phillip , okay ? did i think about it ? k hell , yeah . hell , yeah . you know , i 've only felt that way one other time in my life . any guesses when ? bill : what do you want ? gus : i do n't really know . i just went a couple of rounds with your wife . i think maybe i 'm a glutton for punishment . bill : yeah , i guess you are . gus : but she is special , is n't she ? a special lady . i 'm surprised that you lasted as long as you did . bill : you know , trashing olivia is not going to make us good buddies . we loved each other . gus : oh , you loved each other ? see , because i thought it was , like , an arrangement of some sort . bill : well , at first maybe it was . gus : does n't really matter , though , as long as you parted ways , with my girl . bill : oh , my goodness . harley had her reasons for doing what she did . gus : and you , bill , are completely innocent in the whole thing , right ? bill : you know what ? i came here to unwind , so if you do n't mind , i do n't need this right now . gus : but i ... i do n't need it . bill : gus ? olivia ... how did ... how did she seem ? gus : well , besides being her wonderful , charming self , i 'd say paranoid . bill : well , cut her some slack . she 's had a tough time of it . gus : no more than anybody else . bill : well , you know what phillip did to her . gus : phillip was not a nice person . i guess it runs in the family . gus : oh , that i 've heard . yeah . bill : look , olivia ght seem tough , but things get to her , and phillip , he got to her . gus : he got to a lot of people , bill . bill : no , i mean he really got to her . she was having nightmares about the guy . tony : what ?

blake : dinah 's pregnancy , i mean it is early on . you do have choices . y6ñ cassie : blake . blake : no , i 'm sorry . i 'm not trying to tell you anything to do . i mean , that is not my job to tell you anything . i 'm just ... if you do n't trust dinah , if you have a problem with this , it 's just that it 's still early on.ç cassie : i could n't do that . blake : it 's just an option . for some people , it 's an option . cassie : i know . blake : oh , i 'm sorry , honey . i 'm so sorry . i do n't want to make this worse for you . cassie : you 're not . you 're not , okay ?

i was working for the hotel that night , and i always act in the best interests of my clients . rey : you just got to town . we have no idea what you `` always `` do . theo : i - i 've been here for months . look , lots of people know me . paul : why do n't we run a check on him ?

why are you so sure about that ? theo : because usually i can text her , even if it 's 3 : 00 in the morning , and get a quick reply . but since last night , radio silence . smells like guilt to me . paul : okay . we 'll locate her and question her . theo : good . am i free to go ? paul : do n't leave town . we 'll be in touch . abby : i just -- i - i wish i could wake up from this nightmare . rey : okay , look , as bad as things seem right now , they could have been a lot worse . abby : so , what 's next ?

n - no , no . uh , i do n't -- no , it 's -- it 's -- see ? kyle : i meant you . go home . recharge . take the rest of the day off . summer : okay , i 'm sorry . how the heck is it that you are some c.e.o . joe action figure over there , and i am just struggling so bad ? kyle : i did n't drink any of the tainted sangria . summer : well , oh . there you go . what about lola ? kyle : she did n't drink at all . summer : [ scoffs ] yeah , of course she didn't . i 'm sorry . maybe i should start playing the game of `` what would lola do ? `` you know , it 's a good thing that you steered clear . could you imagine if the whole town got dosed ? i mean , complete insanity would ensue . people would be swinging from chandeliers , and gc would be at a standstill the next day . kyle : mm . that came dangerously close to happening . summer : god ! the question i just keep asking myself is who would do this ? kyle : hmph . i can think of two plausible suspects off the top of my head . summer : huh ? kyle : zoe ... or phyllis . summer : mm . i vote zoe . kyle : but your mom was hell - bent on -- summer : yeah , i know . but i talked to her , and , look , i 'm convinced that she really would never put me in harm 's way . zoe , though -- she would have no reason not to pull a stunt like this . > kyle : [ sighs ] i just hope the grand phoenix can survive this . summer : can we ? kyle : jabot ? of course . summer : no , i , uh ... i meant us . you know , after that kiss . kyle : oh .

[ sighs ] there 's [ sighs ] something that you need to know about what i said earlier , when i was talking about seeing hilary and my dad again . elena : you do n't need to explain . devon : i know . but i want to explain it to you . i want to , 'cause it 's important . um ...

luis : yeah , alistair crane . he offered me and my family money to leave harmony for good . beth : you 're not going to take it , are you ? luis : hell no . told him i was going to ruin him and he laughed in my face . beth : i 'm sorry , luis , but last time you tried to nail him , you failed . luis : oh , yeah , but this time 's different . yeah , i 'm going to get the goods on him this time , then i 'm going to bring him down , and when i do , i 'll get sheridan back . pilar : eve ? what did the lab have to say about my blood test results ? eve : pilar , why do n't you have a seat here , honey . pilar : that bad , huh ? eve : i want you to keep hold of yourself , ok ? pilar : just tell me , eve . just tell me what 's wrong with me , please . eve : your white blood count is very high . your red blood count is very low . pilar : what does that mean ? eve : well , it could mean a lot of things . so the lab ran an additional test so that they could rule out a worse - case scenario . pilar : ok , what -- what did this test show ? eve : unfortunately , it confirmed it instead . pilar : what did it say ? eve : i 'm so sorry , pilar . you have a very rare , a very serious blood disorder . gwen : oh , i hope you 're right and theresa does something idiotic that will land herself in even more legal trouble . rebecca : well , of course i 'm right . little miss desperado will behave so badly that ethan will finally agree to adopt little ethan . theresa 's son is as good as yours . whitney : theresa , what 's going on ? fox : yeah , you look like you 're on a mission . theresa : um , i found a way to stop rebea and gwen from stealing my child . fox : ok , i 'm dying to hear how . theresa : i 'm going to take little ethan out of the country , and then no one can take my child away from me again . singer : i would hold the hand of the one who could lead me places and kiss the lips of the one who could sing so sweet and i would fly on the wings of the bird i knew could take me highest breathe in , breathe out you keep me alive you are the fire burning inside of me you are my passion for life rebecca : what 's going on ? gwen : well , i wanted to talk to you about something that sheridan mentioned earlier . rebecca : oh , she ca n't decide whether luis or antonio is the better lover and she wants me to sleep with both of them and then let her know my opinion . gwen : no . actually , she suggested that ethan and i try surrogacy . look , if ethan and i use a surrogate , we could have our own biological child . rebecca : of course ! i did n't even think of it ! gwen : yeah , i had n't thought of it , either . rebecca : well , then it 's settled . right after you and ethan adopt little ethan , you can give him a brother or a sister through a surrogate . gwen : well , actually , i was thinking we could , you know , use a surrogate instead of adopting little ethan . rebecca : no . no , absolutely not . not after all the trouble i have gone to here . no , we are going to take theresa 's son from her if it is the last thing we do . theresa : we 're going to head south of the border , ok ? mama 's family lives there and th will protect us . fox : whatrere you going to live on ? theresa : i 'm going to get a job . whitney : doing what ? honey , you never started college . you do n't have any skills to speak of . what are you going to do for money ?

eve : possibly , yes . pilar : dear god . not now . eve : i 'm so sorry , pilar . i know that i 've given you terrible news , but there 's always hope . pilar : i 'm not crying for myself , eve . i believe in god the almighty , an afterlife . i 'm not afraid to die . i 'm crying for my children . i ca n't leave them . not now . not when teresita has lost custody of ethan , and luis floundering without sheridan . and antonio , he 's so full of rage towards his brother . and my miguelito , my god . he 's lost charity and he does n't have the ability to support his child . not when we do n't have a place to live and we have noononey . i ca n't die without seeing paloma one last time . i ca n't die without knowing what happened to my husband ! i have to live , eve . i have to live for my family . i have to . eve : i 'm going to set up another test and determine what stage the disorder is in , and you 'll have a whole range of treatment options . pilar : it is no use . i have no health insurance . i have no money . i do n't even have money to pay for my funeral expenses . beth : how can you possibly get the goods on alistair crane ? luis : know what the thing is , honestly -- i ca n't believe i did n't think of it sooner . beth : think of what ? luis : ever since sheridan and i met , alistair has been hellbent on keeping us apart . he thinks if i get close to sheridan , i 'm going to find out all the crane secrets , all the horrible things that he 's done to people , including my father . you know what ? he 's absolutely right . and without crane to protect him , dr . ackland will cave . then i can get him to reverse whatever it is he did to sheridan in that psych ward , then sheridan and i will be together . beth : no ! beth : luis , i do n't want you taking on alistair . you could get hurt . luis : well , what the hell else is he going to do to me ? he 's already cost me my job as a cop . in fact , my whole family 's been fired from all their jobs . they 've taken away my home . now they 're trying to take away theresa 's son . i mean , seriously , what the hell else can the old man do ? alistair : luis has threatened me and my empire with ruin if he ever gets his manos on anything he can use against us . the key to keep that from happening is to make sure sheridan does n't remember that she still loves luis and would do anything for him , even betray her own family to help luis destroy me . so , dr . ackland , it 's vital that my daughter continue to think her one true love is antonio . see that she does . if you do n't , sheridan 's death will be the price of your failure . oh , and , ackland -- have a nice day . eve : pilar , do n't you dare start talking about funerals . now , this disorder can be treated successfully . pilar : not when there 's no money to pay for the bills . eve : just do n't worry about that now . pilar : eve , i know you 're trying to help me , and i appreciate it , but i simply can not afford more tests , much less treatment . that 's just all there is to it . eve : maybe not . maybe not , pilar . maybe there 's something i can do . rebecca : i just wish sheridan would keep some of her opinions to herself gwen : well , she and ethan both think the same thing -- that it would be cruel to take theresa 's child from her . rebecca : cruel ? no , what 's cruel is what theresa did to you , literally stabbing you in the back when you delivered her son , then killing your baby and leaving you as barren as the land around chernobyl . gwen : wow , ok ? that 's harsh even for you . god . rebecca : no , we are going to take theresa 's son away from her whether you or ethan or sheridan wants to or not . ethan : i just hope woody keeps theresa under wraps . i 'd hate for her to do something stupid to try to get little ethan back . theresa : ok , you know , maybe you guys do n't understand what i 'm feeling because you do n't have children , but little ethan is -- well , he means the world to me , and i just -- i ca n't imagine living without him . so , i do n't know , i pretty would much rather die than lose him . whitney : ok , i do n't like you talking like this . i mean , come on , you 're supposed to be the optimist , the one that always tried to make things work out in the end , right ? theresa : yeah , yeah , and that 's what i 'm doing right now , whit , is try to take matters into my own hands . i mean , i know that i do n't money and i do n't have power to fight rebecca in court , but what i can do is strike when she least expects it , right ? so she would think that i would be completely crazy to kidnap my child again . so that 's -- that 's what i have to do . ok ? so , fox , whitney , are you in or out ? you with a southpaw swing . great champion he is . who could have imagined singer : you are my passion for life beth : luis , you ca n't just go after alistair crane . he 's one of the most powerful men in the world , and he did n't get that way by letting people walk all over him . if you go head - to - head with sheridan 's father , god only knows what could happen . mrs. wallace : bethie is right , now ! luis : all right , all right , look , i appreciate your concern , ok , but alistair is just a hateful old man , ok ? he 's not some evil supervillain . beth : i would n't underestimate alistair if i were you , luis . i mean , from what little i know about him , he 's capable of almost anything . alistair : luis is a fool . [ alistair chuckles ] alistair : if he dares to take me on , he 'll pay a high price . not only will luis cost sheridan her life , he will die , as well . hmm . [ alistair chuckles ] pilar : how can you help me pay for more tests , much less the cost of treating me ? eve : the crane foundation . they have a discretionary fund at the hospital for the doctors to use as they see fit . i can arrange to have it pay for whatever you need . pilar : oh , eve , thank you . thank you so much . and i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry to be such a burden to you . eve : you codnd n't ever be a burden to anybody . you know , the most important thing for you is your stress level . now , if you just can keep this stress down , it can go a long way towards helping to curb the effects of this disorder . pilar : yeah , right . i 'll just pretend that i have a home and a job and that my family 's not in turmoil . right . eve : i know it wo n't be easy , honey , but there 's a lot of studies that say a positive outlook can do a lot to improve the situation . pilar : ok . hmm . if you think it 'll help , eve , i 'll try to stay positive . but that 's a tall order -- to have to fight this disease and rebecca . rebecca : gwen , this is no time to get soft about adopting little ethan . no , you 've got to find your backbone . you have to set your eyes on the prize and go for the gold . you got to make theresa pay for what she 's done to you . you have to take her child away from her . and then you find some woman to bake your egg and ethan 's stuff in her oven till the kid pops out . ethan : ladies . i thought i heard voices in here . rebecca : well , ethan , i was just talking to gwen about little ethan 's boarding school . you see , julian and i have decided not to waste our time in checking it out . i mean , how bad can it be ? and even if it is , well , little ethan wo n't have to read `` oliver twist , `` he can live it . so if you 'll excuse me , i want to go check out summer camps . i mean , we certainly do n't want little ethan underfoot for three whole months . ethan : honey , i ca n't believe how cavalier she is towards little ethan . gwen : well , we could have changed that if you actually would 've agreed with me to adopt littleththan , right ? ethan : right . i 'll be in the library . rebecca : gwen , what was that all about ? go on , make nice . come on . fox : ok , theresa , the last time you tried to take little ethan , rebecca had you arrested . this time she could have you shot . whitney : fox is right , you ca n't try to steal little ethan from the mansion again . it 's dangerous , honey , not to mention crazy . theresa : i know . whitney : well , good . theresa : but i have to do it anyway . fox : come again ? theresa : ok , and i got to do it by myself . whitney : no , theresa , wait a second , no . theresa : look , i ca n't wait . if i do n't act now , it could be too late , you know ? ok , so -- well , this is goodbye , then . fox : wait , wait , hold on a sec ! what do you mean , `` this is goodbye `` ? theresa : well , i mean , i got to get little ethan and then we got to get out of the country , and i ca n't , you know , talk to my family because they 're going to try to talk me out of it , so could you guys , you know , say goodbye to them for me ? whitney : ok , just try to think about this before you go -- theresa : can you also tell them that i love them , please , and that i 'll be in touch as soon as i can ? ok . all right . fox : theresa , no , wait a second . hey , i 'm not going to let you do this . d music ] you sit down to dinner -- but what 's left to eat ? avian flu , mad cow , farmed salmon . almost everything has been tainted by scandal . is it overblown ? or is our menu about to change ? tonight on global national with kevin newman . ? w @ ccxrúx theresa : please do n't tell me that i ca n't do this , ok ? little ethan is my child . he 's my flesh and blood , and rebecca stole him from me , so i have to get him back , ok , so just do n't try to stop me . fox : i 'm not . whitney : i 'm sorry , what ? fox : i ca n't let you do this alone , theresa . i 'm coming with you . theresa : fox , thank you so much . whitney : am i the only one here that sees that this is a very , very bad idea ? fox : no . theresa : no . no , no , whitney , you just got to understand that i love little ethan more than my own life and i ca n't just abandon him because rebecca , she bewitched a judge and she bedazzled a judge into taking my rights away as a parent . i have to be with my son and he needs to be with me , not in that house of horrors . whitney : yeah , well , even so , what you 're planning to do -- theresa : it 's the only choice that i have left . look , when little ethan and i get where we 're going , i 'm going to be in touch , ok ? i promise . whitney : god . i love you . i mean , you 're the best friend i ever had . theresa : i love you , too . you know , no one 's ever had a better friend than you . ok . all right . whitney : goodbye . hahan : gwen . gwen : honey , when i said before that you had the chance to save little ethan from being raised by my mother and julian but refused , i 'm sorry . i snapped at you and i did not mean to . it 's just you know how my mother gets when it comes to little ethan . and even though i snapped at you , and i 'm sorry for that , i still think that i 'm right in wanting to adopt little ethan . honey , i think it would be the best thing for him . ethan : gwen , i really do n't want to get into this again . i mean , you know how i feel . gwen : i know you do n't want to take theresa 's son from her . i know . ethan : that 's right . besides , i mean , theresa may well be able to overturn the judge 's custody decision on appeal , and then no one will be able to adopt her son . so , look , either we wait to adopt or we have to come up with some other way to be parents . gwen : well , actually , i think i may have come up with another way . ethan : really ? gwen : yeah . i was talking to sheridan earlier and she mentioned that you and i , you know , we could try surrogacy . ethan : surrogacy ? gwen : yeah , we could have another woman carry our biological child . ethan : i ca n't believe we did n't think of this before . gwen : i know . so you like the idea , then ? ethan : i love it . no , i love it . it 's a great idea . gwen : oh , good ! ethan : honey , i mean , we can -- we can have a baby . i mean , we can have our own baby . gwen : yeah ! ethan : this is great ! luis : no , for me to sit back and let alistair ruin other people 's lives ? no , that 's not going to happen . he g got to be stopped , and it might as well be by me . mrs. wallace : well , my ding - dong daughter , sunk yet again ! boy , i have never seen luis so determined ! you know , the veins bursting , the nostrils flaring , and those muscles were so nice and tight . i liked that part . boy , it wo n't be long before luis -- luis reveals all of alistair 's secrets , including the fact that he was charlie , your accomplice in kidnapping sheridan and stealing her baby ! beth : could you shut up ? i can not think ! mrs. wallace : luis is going to know that martin is his son with sheridan . they 're going flying off into the sunset together , and you , little missy -- you 're going to jail where you belong yeah , yeah , yeah ! beth : no , that is not going to happen ! mrs. wallace : oh , yeah , you 're -- hey , bethie . hey , hey , bethie , where you -- ugh ! oh , where 's the gin ? precious better not have finished it all because i need a drink . pilar : so what happens next , eve ? eve : well , i 'm going to order an additional test to assess where you are , and i 'm hoping that you were diagnosed early enough so that we can just beat this thing together . pilar : i hope so . eve : and remember , avoiding stress is part of any cure . pilar : ok . i understand . eve : ok , good . pilar : eve ? i do n't mean to pry . you seem really stressed lately , and i can sense the tension between you and whitney . eve : yeah . yes , there 's -- there is a lot of tension between whitney and me right now , yeah . pilar : you 're doing me this amazing favor to pay for my medical expenses , so if i could be like a sounding board or somebody you can turn to as a friend , please just do n't hesitate to ask . eve : thank you , pilar . that 's so sweet of you . i appreciate it . but talking about my problems with whitney is not going to help me solve them . pilar : what about grace ? why do n't you call her in italy ? i know she had problems with the girls before she left and i 'm sure she can empathize with your situation with whitney . eve : grace knew a lot of my secrets . i mean , just secrets and things that you keep private , you know , for one reason or another . pilar : and now without grace here , you must feel so alone . eve : you know , pilar , a lot of people think that my life must be perfect , but it 's not . my life , like me , is far from perfect . well , the truth is whitney found that out firsthand . pilar : you can unburden yourself with me . i 've kept ivy 's secrets well over 25 years . i can keep yours . eve : oh , god , that bitch , pilar . how did you put up with her for so long ? pilar : well , she was good to me and my family , although that kindness came with a price . i knew that ethan was sam 's son almost from the beginning . eve : oh , my god . pilar : yeah , it was a terrible burden to car , an absolute terrible burden . i knew other things , as well , things i suspect have to do with you and whitney and julian . eve : like what kind of things do you know ? pilar : ivy had photos of you and julian together , and she was using th t to blackmail you to try to win sam away from grace . eve : oh , my god , you knew about that all this time ? that 's been more than five years ago ! oh . pilar : see , eve ? you can trust me to keep your confidence . eve : oh , god , pilar . i would n't even know where to start . i met julian when i was singing in the original blue note in boston . he came in there one night and just swept me off my feet . he said that he knew people that could make me a star -- and maybe he did , i do n't know -- but after a while , it did n't even matter because we were so head - over - heels in love with each other . anyway , that 's how the photos came to be . when alistair found out that julian planned on marrying a woman of color , julian crane , heir to the crane empire , he bullied him and he threatened him until he left me and married ivy . god , i -- i used to hate him so much for abandoning me that way . but i do n't anymore . i know he did the best he could with this monster that he has for a father . i still ca n't believe that alistair crane had our baby just kidnapped right out of the hospital the night he was born . pilar : you and julian had a son ? who is he ? where is he ? chad : whitney . what 's wrong ? whitney : i promised i would n't say anything , but i know i can trust you with anything . chad : with your life . whitney : first i lose my mother , and now it looks like i lost theresa . chad : why ? what happened ? whitney : well , theresa is planning on sneaking into the crane mansion , with fox 's help , getting little ethan , and taking him out of the country . chad : man . look , i wo n't say anything to anybody . but i think theresa 's making a mistake , a big one . whitney : yeah . rebecca : who 's there ? well , i guess i have to see for myself . rebecca : why am i not surprised ? rebecca : what are you doing ? you left the door open . you 're letting all the heat out . fox : right . yeah , i forgot . guess i didn't . look at that . perfect . all right , i 'm going to go see little ethan . rebecca : oh , well , tell him how much you enjoyed boarding school . fox : yeah , hated it . rebecca : then lie . you just lied to me , fox . hmm . something is going on . fox : that was close . theresa : yeah , rebecca almost saw me . fox : yeah , well , she did n't see you . that 's the important thing , right ? theresa : yeah . thank you again for helping me get my little boy back . fox : i 'm a fool in love . what can i say ? theresa : you 're my hero . little ethan : mommy ! theresa : ok , honey , come here . listen , you and i , we 're going to go on a really big adventure right now , but we got to be really , really , really quiet , ok ? all right , stand up right here . ah , your jacket . can put your jacket on for me ? all right , this way . theresa : ok , thank you again for sneaking me onto the estate in the back seat of your car , but we got to take it from here , ok ? i mean , i do n't want you getting into any trouble , so -- fox : yeah , ok . ok . all right . listen , you two be careful , all right ? theresa : ok . fox : be careful , and then you call me when you get wherever it is you 're going , all right ? theresa : i will . i will . fox : here . take this . theresa : oh , money . fox : take all that , ok ? theresa : my goodness . fox : i want you to take my car . theresa : ok . fox : i 'm going to take the back stairs down and i 'm going to distract dragon lady . you need to make tracks , ok ? theresa : ok . i -- i love you , fox . i love you . fox : i love you . be careful . theresa : ok . fox : all right , see you . theresa : ok . ready , sweetheart ? real quiet . let 's go . come on . quiet . pilar : wow , you and julian have a son together ? eve : only we do n't know who he is or where he is . pilar : this is why whitney 's estranged from you ? because she found out that you and julian have a son ? eve : no . see , whitney 's caught me alone with julian several times very recently when we 've been discussing how we can go about finding our son , but consequently she thinks that we 're having an affair . and i 'm afraid to tell her the truth because i do n't think that she would forgive me for having kept it a secret in the first place , nor would simone , nor would t.c . they would just think that our whole life has just been one colossal lie . pilar : oh , eve , but those girls , t.c . , they love you so much , i 'm sure they would understand . eve : pilar , i have gone back and forth and debated this so much . the only thing i can hope is that if julian were to find our son , then whitney and simone could be made to understand what had happened and to forgive me for having been less than honest about my past . however , there is t.c . and no matter how much t.c . loves me , i -- i seriously doubt that he would ever forgive me for having been with julian . pilar : but if julian finds your son , everyone will know , regardless , eve . eve : hey , it could be all a moot point anyway because alistair knows who our son is and where he is , and he has blocked julian 's search for him at every turn . he 's just bound and determined that we 're not going to find him . pilar : that man 's cruelty knows no bounds . to keep a child from his parents ? alistair : sheridan and luis , both clueless that they 're baby martin 's true parents . not only will you never be together with your son , you 'll never be with each other . hmm . [ alistair laughs ] luis : hey , hank . thanks for dropping everything to meet me . did you get what i asked for ? hank : it 's all there . what are you going to do with it ? luis : yeah , i 'm applying for a job at crane industries . wish me luck on my interview . hank : well , you 're crazy to think that alistair will ever let you work for one of his companies . luis : oh , yeah , i 'm crazy -- crazy like a fox . alistair : oh , beth , my dear . 's always a pleasure to se a beautiful woman in my office , but i 'm not sure it 's wise for us to be seen together . people might get suspicious , wonder what our connection is . beth : i came to warn you . luis is out to get you . alistair : tell me something new . beth : this is new . luis just left my house and he 's determined to gain access to crane industries , learn all of your secrets , and use them to bring you down . alistair : hmm , luis ca n't hurt me . he 's tried countless times , only to fail . his latest attempt will yiel the same result -- nada . so relax , my dear . come and have a drink with me . tell me how that sassy simian precious is doing . beth : no , i 'd better leave before anyone sees me . alistair : i see you 're still the artful dodger whose survival instincts so enthralled and excited charlie . she had quite a thing for you , bethie . beth : but you were charlie . alistair : indeed , i was . that made you uncomfortable when we kissed . now there 's no reason to be . 0 alistair : oh . eve : i 'm so glad i confed in you , pilar . but you 've got to focus now on you and your getting well . finding my son is not your problem . pilar : wait . wait , your son . oh , my god , i ca n't believe i did n't think about this the minute you talked about you and julian having a son . well , he came to town looking for his parents and all he had was an old newspaper clipping from some harmony paper . chad . chad harris must be your son with julian . chad : now , look , i know you 're worried about theresa , ok -- i am , too -- but she did what she 's doing knowing full well what can happen if she gets caught . [ whitney sighs ] chad : all right , there 's nothing we can do but wish her luck on getting little ethan out of the country before rebecca finds out . whitney : well , see , that 's what scares me . i mean , theresa was already arrested for kidnapping before . if she gets caught this time , the cranes will make sure that she 's sent away for the rest of her life . you know , except for fox and sheridan , that whole family is -- it 's dangerous . chad : baby , i know how you feel about the cranes . that 's why i paid alistair back the money he gave me to take you out for valentine 's day . and from now on , we 're going to have nothing to do with the cranes . whitney : hmm . you know what ? i love the sound of that . chad : and i love you . gwen : honey , i am so glad that you want to consider surrogacy . but that does not mean i 've given up on wanting to adopt little ethan . ethan : no . no , gwen , i 'm not taking theresa 's son away from her . gwen : ok , you promised me that we could adopt any child i want , remember , and i want to adopt little ethan . honey , we have got to save that little boy from being raised by my mother and julian . ethan : gwen , i said we could be a part of his life , but i 'm not going to hurt theresa to do that . gwen : so theresa 's feelings matter more than mine do . i mean , you still love her , do n't you ? you love her more than me and little ethan . you know what -- you always have and you always will . [ theresa whispers ] theresa : oh , my god ! oh , my god ! oh , jeez ! rebecca : well , theresa . you 've been caught red - handed trying to kidnap that poor child yet again . theresa : ok , look , you can not have my son , ok ? rebecca : do n't you just love a happy ending ? oh , and believe me , theresa , this is the end -- for you . eve : the odds of chad being my son are infinitesimal . pilar : but possible . woman : we have a janitorial position that needs filling immediately . luis : [ disguised voice ] i can start toda officer : we had a report of a kidnapping . | pilar delivers the news to pilar that she is suffering from a rare , sometimes fatal , blood disorder . pilar and eve have a heart to heart talk about eve 's past with julian , and pilar suggests that chad might be eve and julian 's son . luis goes to see beth and vows to bring down alistair crane so that he and sheridan can be reunited . beth goes to see alistair and tells him of luis 's plan . alistair gives beth a passionate kiss . | <s>[INST] mrs. wallace : you -- [ knock on door ] beth : guess what -- luis is back . mrs. wallace : what ? luis : hey . beth : luis . oh , it was so sweet of you , but you do n't have to apologize for leaving before we could even have dinner last night . i mean , i understand . luis : oh , right . no , i 'd completely forgot about that , beth . mrs. wallace : ego , bye - bye . luis : could n't think of anything else after i ran into stupid alistair on the wharf . beth : alistair crane ? luis : yeah , alistair crane . he offered me and my family money to leave harmony for good . beth : you 're not going to take it , are you ? luis : hell no . told him i was going to ruin him and he laughed in my face . beth : i 'm sorry , luis , but last time you tried to nail him , you failed . luis : oh , yeah , but this time 's different . yeah , i 'm going to get the goods on him this time , then i 'm going to bring him down , and when i do , i 'll get sheridan back . pilar : eve ? what did the lab have to say about my blood test results ? eve : pilar , why do n't you have a seat here , honey . pilar : that bad , huh ? eve : i want you to keep hold of yourself , ok ? pilar : just tell me , eve . just tell me what 's wrong with me , please . eve : your white blood count is very high . your red blood count is very low . pilar : what does that mean ? eve : well , it could mean a lot of things . so the lab ran an additional test so that they could rule out a worse - case scenario . pilar : ok , what -- what did this test show ? eve : unfortunately , it confirmed it instead . pilar : what did it say ? eve : i 'm so sorry , pilar . you have a very rare , a very serious blood disorder . gwen : oh , i hope you 're right and theresa does something idiotic that will land herself in even more legal trouble . rebecca : well , of course i 'm right . little miss desperado will behave so badly that ethan will finally agree to adopt little ethan . theresa 's son is as good as yours . whitney : theresa , what 's going on ? fox : yeah , you look like you 're on a mission . theresa : um , i found a way to stop rebea and gwen from stealing my child . fox : ok , i 'm dying to hear how . theresa : i 'm going to take little ethan out of the country , and then no one can take my child away from me again . singer : i would hold the hand of the one who could lead me places and kiss the lips of the one who could sing so sweet and i would fly on the wings of the bird i knew could take me highest breathe in , breathe out you keep me alive you are the fire burning inside of me you are my passion for life rebecca : what 's going on ? gwen : well , i wanted to talk to you about something that sheridan mentioned earlier . rebecca : oh , she ca n't decide whether luis or antonio is the better lover and she wants me to sleep with both of them and then let her know my opinion . gwen : no . actually , she suggested that ethan and i try surrogacy . look , if ethan and i use a surrogate , we could have our own biological child . rebecca : of course ! i did n't even think of it ! gwen : yeah , i had n't thought of it , either . rebecca : well , then it 's settled . right after you and ethan adopt little ethan , you can give him a brother or a sister through a surrogate . gwen : well , actually , i was thinking we could , you know , use a surrogate instead of adopting little ethan . rebecca : no . no , absolutely not . not after all the trouble i have gone to here . no , we are going to take theresa 's son from her if it is the last thing we do . theresa : we 're going to head south of the border , ok ? mama 's family lives there and th will protect us . fox : whatrere you going to live on ? theresa : i 'm going to get a job . whitney : doing what ? honey , you never started college . you do n't have any skills to speak of . what are you going to do for money ? theresa : mama 's family will help us . and if they ca n't , then , i do n't know , i 'll dig ditches , i 'll clean toilets . i 'm going to do whatever i have to do for my child . pilar : is this disease fatal ? eve : possibly , yes . pilar : dear god . not now . eve : i 'm so sorry , pilar . i know that i 've given you terrible news , but there 's always hope . pilar : i 'm not crying for myself , eve . i believe in god the almighty , an afterlife . i 'm not afraid to die . i 'm crying for my children . i ca n't leave them . not now . not when teresita has lost custody of ethan , and luis floundering without sheridan . and antonio , he 's so full of rage towards his brother . and my miguelito , my god . he 's lost charity and he does n't have the ability to support his child . not when we do n't have a place to live and we have noononey . i ca n't die without seeing paloma one last time . i ca n't die without knowing what happened to my husband ! i have to live , eve . i have to live for my family . i have to . eve : i 'm going to set up another test and determine what stage the disorder is in , and you 'll have a whole range of treatment options . pilar : it is no use . i have no health insurance . i have no money . i do n't even have money to pay for my funeral expenses . beth : how can you possibly get the goods on alistair crane ? luis : know what the thing is , honestly -- i ca n't believe i did n't think of it sooner . beth : think of what ? luis : ever since sheridan and i met , alistair has been hellbent on keeping us apart . he thinks if i get close to sheridan , i 'm going to find out all the crane secrets , all the horrible things that he 's done to people , including my father . you know what ? he 's absolutely right . and without crane to protect him , dr . ackland will cave . then i can get him to reverse whatever it is he did to sheridan in that psych ward , then sheridan and i will be together . beth : no ! beth : luis , i do n't want you taking on alistair . you could get hurt . luis : well , what the hell else is he going to do to me ? he 's already cost me my job as a cop . in fact , my whole family 's been fired from all their jobs . they 've taken away my home . now they 're trying to take away theresa 's son . i mean , seriously , what the hell else can the old man do ? alistair : luis has threatened me and my empire with ruin if he ever gets his manos on anything he can use against us . the key to keep that from happening is to make sure sheridan does n't remember that she still loves luis and would do anything for him , even betray her own family to help luis destroy me . so , dr . ackland , it 's vital that my daughter continue to think her one true love is antonio . see that she does . if you do n't , sheridan 's death will be the price of your failure . oh , and , ackland -- have a nice day . eve : pilar , do n't you dare start talking about funerals . now , this disorder can be treated successfully . pilar : not when there 's no money to pay for the bills . eve : just do n't worry about that now . pilar : eve , i know you 're trying to help me , and i appreciate it , but i simply can not afford more tests , much less treatment . that 's just all there is to it . eve : maybe not . maybe not , pilar . maybe there 's something i can do . rebecca : i just wish sheridan would keep some of her opinions to herself gwen : well , she and ethan both think the same thing -- that it would be cruel to take theresa 's child from her . rebecca : cruel ? no , what 's cruel is what theresa did to you , literally stabbing you in the back when you delivered her son , then killing your baby and leaving you as barren as the land around chernobyl . gwen : wow , ok ? that 's harsh even for you . god . rebecca : no , we are going to take theresa 's son away from her whether you or ethan or sheridan wants to or not . ethan : i just hope woody keeps theresa under wraps . i 'd hate for her to do something stupid to try to get little ethan back . theresa : ok , you know , maybe you guys do n't understand what i 'm feeling because you do n't have children , but little ethan is -- well , he means the world to me , and i just -- i ca n't imagine living without him . so , i do n't know , i pretty would much rather die than lose him . whitney : ok , i do n't like you talking like this . i mean , come on , you 're supposed to be the optimist , the one that always tried to make things work out in the end , right ? theresa : yeah , yeah , and that 's what i 'm doing right now , whit , is try to take matters into my own hands . i mean , i know that i do n't money and i do n't have power to fight rebecca in court , but what i can do is strike when she least expects it , right ? so she would think that i would be completely crazy to kidnap my child again . so that 's -- that 's what i have to do . ok ? so , fox , whitney , are you in or out ? you with a southpaw swing . great champion he is . who could have imagined singer : you are my passion for life beth : luis , you ca n't just go after alistair crane . he 's one of the most powerful men in the world , and he did n't get that way by letting people walk all over him . if you go head - to - head with sheridan 's father , god only knows what could happen . mrs. wallace : bethie is right , now ! luis : all right , all right , look , i appreciate your concern , ok , but alistair is just a hateful old man , ok ? he 's not some evil supervillain . beth : i would n't underestimate alistair if i were you , luis . i mean , from what little i know about him , he 's capable of almost anything . alistair : luis is a fool . [ alistair chuckles ] alistair : if he dares to take me on , he 'll pay a high price . not only will luis cost sheridan her life , he will die , as well . hmm . [ alistair chuckles ] pilar : how can you help me pay for more tests , much less the cost of treating me ? eve : the crane foundation . they have a discretionary fund at the hospital for the doctors to use as they see fit . i can arrange to have it pay for whatever you need . pilar : oh , eve , thank you . thank you so much . and i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry to be such a burden to you . eve : you codnd n't ever be a burden to anybody . you know , the most important thing for you is your stress level . now , if you just can keep this stress down , it can go a long way towards helping to curb the effects of this disorder . pilar : yeah , right . i 'll just pretend that i have a home and a job and that my family 's not in turmoil . right . eve : i know it wo n't be easy , honey , but there 's a lot of studies that say a positive outlook can do a lot to improve the situation . pilar : ok . hmm . if you think it 'll help , eve , i 'll try to stay positive . but that 's a tall order -- to have to fight this disease and rebecca . rebecca : gwen , this is no time to get soft about adopting little ethan . no , you 've got to find your backbone . you have to set your eyes on the prize and go for the gold . you got to make theresa pay for what she 's done to you . you have to take her child away from her . and then you find some woman to bake your egg and ethan 's stuff in her oven till the kid pops out . ethan : ladies . i thought i heard voices in here . rebecca : well , ethan , i was just talking to gwen about little ethan 's boarding school . you see , julian and i have decided not to waste our time in checking it out . i mean , how bad can it be ? and even if it is , well , little ethan wo n't have to read `` oliver twist , `` he can live it . so if you 'll excuse me , i want to go check out summer camps . i mean , we certainly do n't want little ethan underfoot for three whole months . ethan : honey , i ca n't believe how cavalier she is towards little ethan . gwen : well , we could have changed that if you actually would 've agreed with me to adopt littleththan , right ? ethan : right . i 'll be in the library . rebecca : gwen , what was that all about ? go on , make nice . come on . fox : ok , theresa , the last time you tried to take little ethan , rebecca had you arrested . this time she could have you shot . whitney : fox is right , you ca n't try to steal little ethan from the mansion again . it 's dangerous , honey , not to mention crazy . theresa : i know . whitney : well , good . theresa : but i have to do it anyway . fox : come again ? theresa : ok , and i got to do it by myself . whitney : no , theresa , wait a second , no . theresa : look , i ca n't wait . if i do n't act now , it could be too late , you know ? ok , so -- well , this is goodbye , then . fox : wait , wait , hold on a sec ! what do you mean , `` this is goodbye `` ? theresa : well , i mean , i got to get little ethan and then we got to get out of the country , and i ca n't , you know , talk to my family because they 're going to try to talk me out of it , so could you guys , you know , say goodbye to them for me ? whitney : ok , just try to think about this before you go -- theresa : can you also tell them that i love them , please , and that i 'll be in touch as soon as i can ? ok . all right . fox : theresa , no , wait a second . hey , i 'm not going to let you do this . d music ] you sit down to dinner -- but what 's left to eat ? avian flu , mad cow , farmed salmon . almost everything has been tainted by scandal . is it overblown ? or is our menu about to change ? tonight on global national with kevin newman . ? w @ ccxrúx theresa : please do n't tell me that i ca n't do this , ok ? little ethan is my child . he 's my flesh and blood , and rebecca stole him from me , so i have to get him back , ok , so just do n't try to stop me . fox : i 'm not . whitney : i 'm sorry , what ? fox : i ca n't let you do this alone , theresa . i 'm coming with you . theresa : fox , thank you so much . whitney : am i the only one here that sees that this is a very , very bad idea ? fox : no . theresa : no . no , no , whitney , you just got to understand that i love little ethan more than my own life and i ca n't just abandon him because rebecca , she bewitched a judge and she bedazzled a judge into taking my rights away as a parent . i have to be with my son and he needs to be with me , not in that house of horrors . whitney : yeah , well , even so , what you 're planning to do -- theresa : it 's the only choice that i have left . look , when little ethan and i get where we 're going , i 'm going to be in touch , ok ? i promise . whitney : god . i love you . i mean , you 're the best friend i ever had . theresa : i love you , too . you know , no one 's ever had a better friend than you . ok . all right . whitney : goodbye . hahan : gwen . gwen : honey , when i said before that you had the chance to save little ethan from being raised by my mother and julian but refused , i 'm sorry . i snapped at you and i did not mean to . it 's just you know how my mother gets when it comes to little ethan . and even though i snapped at you , and i 'm sorry for that , i still think that i 'm right in wanting to adopt little ethan . honey , i think it would be the best thing for him . ethan : gwen , i really do n't want to get into this again . i mean , you know how i feel . gwen : i know you do n't want to take theresa 's son from her . i know . ethan : that 's right . besides , i mean , theresa may well be able to overturn the judge 's custody decision on appeal , and then no one will be able to adopt her son . so , look , either we wait to adopt or we have to come up with some other way to be parents . gwen : well , actually , i think i may have come up with another way . ethan : really ? gwen : yeah . i was talking to sheridan earlier and she mentioned that you and i , you know , we could try surrogacy . ethan : surrogacy ? gwen : yeah , we could have another woman carry our biological child . ethan : i ca n't believe we did n't think of this before . gwen : i know . so you like the idea , then ? ethan : i love it . no , i love it . it 's a great idea . gwen : oh , good ! ethan : honey , i mean , we can -- we can have a baby . i mean , we can have our own baby . gwen : yeah ! ethan : this is great ! luis : no , for me to sit back and let alistair ruin other people 's lives ? no , that 's not going to happen . he g got to be stopped , and it might as well be by me . mrs. wallace : well , my ding - dong daughter , sunk yet again ! boy , i have never seen luis so determined ! you know , the veins bursting , the nostrils flaring , and those muscles were so nice and tight . i liked that part . boy , it wo n't be long before luis -- luis reveals all of alistair 's secrets , including the fact that he was charlie , your accomplice in kidnapping sheridan and stealing her baby ! beth : could you shut up ? i can not think ! mrs. wallace : luis is going to know that martin is his son with sheridan . they 're going flying off into the sunset together , and you , little missy -- you 're going to jail where you belong yeah , yeah , yeah ! beth : no , that is not going to happen ! mrs. wallace : oh , yeah , you 're -- hey , bethie . hey , hey , bethie , where you -- ugh ! oh , where 's the gin ? precious better not have finished it all because i need a drink . pilar : so what happens next , eve ? eve : well , i 'm going to order an additional test to assess where you are , and i 'm hoping that you were diagnosed early enough so that we can just beat this thing together . pilar : i hope so . eve : and remember , avoiding stress is part of any cure . pilar : ok . i understand . eve : ok , good . pilar : eve ? i do n't mean to pry . you seem really stressed lately , and i can sense the tension between you and whitney . eve : yeah . yes , there 's -- there is a lot of tension between whitney and me right now , yeah . pilar : you 're doing me this amazing favor to pay for my medical expenses , so if i could be like a sounding board or somebody you can turn to as a friend , please just do n't hesitate to ask . eve : thank you , pilar . that 's so sweet of you . i appreciate it . but talking about my problems with whitney is not going to help me solve them . pilar : what about grace ? why do n't you call her in italy ? i know she had problems with the girls before she left and i 'm sure she can empathize with your situation with whitney . eve : grace knew a lot of my secrets . i mean , just secrets and things that you keep private , you know , for one reason or another . pilar : and now without grace here , you must feel so alone . eve : you know , pilar , a lot of people think that my life must be perfect , but it 's not . my life , like me , is far from perfect . well , the truth is whitney found that out firsthand . pilar : you can unburden yourself with me . i 've kept ivy 's secrets well over 25 years . i can keep yours . eve : oh , god , that bitch , pilar . how did you put up with her for so long ? pilar : well , she was good to me and my family , although that kindness came with a price . i knew that ethan was sam 's son almost from the beginning . eve : oh , my god . pilar : yeah , it was a terrible burden to car , an absolute terrible burden . i knew other things , as well , things i suspect have to do with you and whitney and julian . eve : like what kind of things do you know ? pilar : ivy had photos of you and julian together , and she was using th t to blackmail you to try to win sam away from grace . eve : oh , my god , you knew about that all this time ? that 's been more than five years ago ! oh . pilar : see , eve ? you can trust me to keep your confidence . eve : oh , god , pilar . i would n't even know where to start . i met julian when i was singing in the original blue note in boston . he came in there one night and just swept me off my feet . he said that he knew people that could make me a star -- and maybe he did , i do n't know -- but after a while , it did n't even matter because we were so head - over - heels in love with each other . anyway , that 's how the photos came to be . when alistair found out that julian planned on marrying a woman of color , julian crane , heir to the crane empire , he bullied him and he threatened him until he left me and married ivy . god , i -- i used to hate him so much for abandoning me that way . but i do n't anymore . i know he did the best he could with this monster that he has for a father . i still ca n't believe that alistair crane had our baby just kidnapped right out of the hospital the night he was born . pilar : you and julian had a son ? who is he ? where is he ? chad : whitney . what 's wrong ? whitney : i promised i would n't say anything , but i know i can trust you with anything . chad : with your life . whitney : first i lose my mother , and now it looks like i lost theresa . chad : why ? what happened ? whitney : well , theresa is planning on sneaking into the crane mansion , with fox 's help , getting little ethan , and taking him out of the country . chad : man . look , i wo n't say anything to anybody . but i think theresa 's making a mistake , a big one . whitney : yeah . rebecca : who 's there ? well , i guess i have to see for myself . rebecca : why am i not surprised ? rebecca : what are you doing ? you left the door open . you 're letting all the heat out . fox : right . yeah , i forgot . guess i didn't . look at that . perfect . all right , i 'm going to go see little ethan . rebecca : oh , well , tell him how much you enjoyed boarding school . fox : yeah , hated it . rebecca : then lie . you just lied to me , fox . hmm . something is going on . fox : that was close . theresa : yeah , rebecca almost saw me . fox : yeah , well , she did n't see you . that 's the important thing , right ? theresa : yeah . thank you again for helping me get my little boy back . fox : i 'm a fool in love . what can i say ? theresa : you 're my hero . little ethan : mommy ! theresa : ok , honey , come here . listen , you and i , we 're going to go on a really big adventure right now , but we got to be really , really , really quiet , ok ? all right , stand up right here . ah , your jacket . can put your jacket on for me ? all right , this way . theresa : ok , thank you again for sneaking me onto the estate in the back seat of your car , but we got to take it from here , ok ? i mean , i do n't want you getting into any trouble , so -- fox : yeah , ok . ok . all right . listen , you two be careful , all right ? theresa : ok . fox : be careful , and then you call me when you get wherever it is you 're going , all right ? theresa : i will . i will . fox : here . take this . theresa : oh , money . fox : take all that , ok ? theresa : my goodness . fox : i want you to take my car . theresa : ok . fox : i 'm going to take the back stairs down and i 'm going to distract dragon lady . you need to make tracks , ok ? theresa : ok . i -- i love you , fox . i love you . fox : i love you . be careful . theresa : ok . fox : all right , see you . theresa : ok . ready , sweetheart ? real quiet . let 's go . come on . quiet . pilar : wow , you and julian have a son together ? eve : only we do n't know who he is or where he is . pilar : this is why whitney 's estranged from you ? because she found out that you and julian have a son ? eve : no . see , whitney 's caught me alone with julian several times very recently when we 've been discussing how we can go about finding our son , but consequently she thinks that we 're having an affair . and i 'm afraid to tell her the truth because i do n't think that she would forgive me for having kept it a secret in the first place , nor would simone , nor would t.c . they would just think that our whole life has just been one colossal lie . pilar : oh , eve , but those girls , t.c . , they love you so much , i 'm sure they would understand . eve : pilar , i have gone back and forth and debated this so much . the only thing i can hope is that if julian were to find our son , then whitney and simone could be made to understand what had happened and to forgive me for having been less than honest about my past . however , there is t.c . and no matter how much t.c . loves me , i -- i seriously doubt that he would ever forgive me for having been with julian . pilar : but if julian finds your son , everyone will know , regardless , eve . eve : hey , it could be all a moot point anyway because alistair knows who our son is and where he is , and he has blocked julian 's search for him at every turn . he 's just bound and determined that we 're not going to find him . pilar : that man 's cruelty knows no bounds . to keep a child from his parents ? alistair : sheridan and luis , both clueless that they 're baby martin 's true parents . not only will you never be together with your son , you 'll never be with each other . hmm . [ alistair laughs ] luis : hey , hank . thanks for dropping everything to meet me . did you get what i asked for ? hank : it 's all there . what are you going to do with it ? luis : yeah , i 'm applying for a job at crane industries . wish me luck on my interview . hank : well , you 're crazy to think that alistair will ever let you work for one of his companies . luis : oh , yeah , i 'm crazy -- crazy like a fox . alistair : oh , beth , my dear . 's always a pleasure to se a beautiful woman in my office , but i 'm not sure it 's wise for us to be seen together . people might get suspicious , wonder what our connection is . beth : i came to warn you . luis is out to get you . alistair : tell me something new . beth : this is new . luis just left my house and he 's determined to gain access to crane industries , learn all of your secrets , and use them to bring you down . alistair : hmm , luis ca n't hurt me . he 's tried countless times , only to fail . his latest attempt will yiel the same result -- nada . so relax , my dear . come and have a drink with me . tell me how that sassy simian precious is doing . beth : no , i 'd better leave before anyone sees me . alistair : i see you 're still the artful dodger whose survival instincts so enthralled and excited charlie . she had quite a thing for you , bethie . beth : but you were charlie . alistair : indeed , i was . that made you uncomfortable when we kissed . now there 's no reason to be . 0 alistair : oh . eve : i 'm so glad i confed in you , pilar . but you 've got to focus now on you and your getting well . finding my son is not your problem . pilar : wait . wait , your son . oh , my god , i ca n't believe i did n't think about this the minute you talked about you and julian having a son . well , he came to town looking for his parents and all he had was an old newspaper clipping from some harmony paper . chad . chad harris must be your son with julian . chad : now , look , i know you 're worried about theresa , ok -- i am , too -- but she did what she 's doing knowing full well what can happen if she gets caught . [ whitney sighs ] chad : all right , there 's nothing we can do but wish her luck on getting little ethan out of the country before rebecca finds out . whitney : well , see , that 's what scares me . i mean , theresa was already arrested for kidnapping before . if she gets caught this time , the cranes will make sure that she 's sent away for the rest of her life . you know , except for fox and sheridan , that whole family is -- it 's dangerous . chad : baby , i know how you feel about the cranes . that 's why i paid alistair back the money he gave me to take you out for valentine 's day . and from now on , we 're going to have nothing to do with the cranes . whitney : hmm . you know what ? i love the sound of that . chad : and i love you . gwen : honey , i am so glad that you want to consider surrogacy . but that does not mean i 've given up on wanting to adopt little ethan . ethan : no . no , gwen , i 'm not taking theresa 's son away from her . gwen : ok , you promised me that we could adopt any child i want , remember , and i want to adopt little ethan . honey , we have got to save that little boy from being raised by my mother and julian . ethan : gwen , i said we could be a part of his life , but i 'm not going to hurt theresa to do that . gwen : so theresa 's feelings matter more than mine do . i mean , you still love her , do n't you ? you love her more than me and little ethan . you know what -- you always have and you always will . [ theresa whispers ] theresa : oh , my god ! oh , my god ! oh , jeez ! rebecca : well , theresa . you 've been caught red - handed trying to kidnap that poor child yet again . theresa : ok , look , you can not have my son , ok ? rebecca : do n't you just love a happy ending ? oh , and believe me , theresa , this is the end -- for you . eve : the odds of chad being my son are infinitesimal . pilar : but possible . woman : we have a janitorial position that needs filling immediately . luis : [ disguised voice ] i can start toda officer : we had a report of a kidnapping .Summarize.[/INST]pilar delivers the news to pilar that she is suffering from a rare , sometimes fatal , blood disorder . pilar and eve have a heart to heart talk about eve 's past with julian , and pilar suggests that chad might be eve and julian 's son . luis goes to see beth and vows to bring down alistair crane so that he and sheridan can be reunited . beth goes to see alistair and tells him of luis 's plan . alistair gives beth a passionate kiss .</s> | 15,351 |

[ motor humming ] gabi : what ... what is that ? chad : sounds like a car engine idling . cold air 's coming through . which means it 's the freezer motor . gabi : wait , so it has n't been on this whole time ? chad : somebody must 've fixed it and turned it on . gabi : well , what ... oh , my god , chad , what if it was deimos ? what if he -- what if he got his key ? what if he does n't need us anymore ? what if he left us here to die ? adrienne : okay , okay . i 'm all for ending the war between the families -- jennifer : oh , no , no , no , i sense a `` but `` coming . adrienne : is n't deimos gon na be even angrier at drew because of this virus ? he could retaliate by hurting chad again -- or worse ! jennifer : he probably hurt them already . adrienne : abigail must be worried sick . does she know that drew 's the key ? jennifer : no , i do not want her involved , especially if i can handle this on my own . adrienne : you do n't have to . you have me . anne : and me . i mean , if you want me . jennifer : i do n't think i have a choice . please , let 's talk about our next move , let 's figure it out . eduardo : apparently , someone broke into the shipping container and stole the key before deimos could get it himself . kate : and naturally , he accused the dimeras . dario : and our family . abigail : but ca n't we find out whoever stole the key and just get them to give it back ? kate : do you know who that is , because i do n't . [ phone beeps ] abigail : look , i got to go get thomas . i 'll catch you guys later . dario : no , you 're not going anywhere . chad : let 's just , um -- let 's not jump to any conclusions , okay ? gabi : how else do you explain the freezer coming on , and nobody coming back to feed us , okay ? what if deimos just gave up on this key ? what if he just left us here for us to freeze to death ? oh , my gosh , no , please ! please , you have to let us out ! please , we wo n't tell anybody -- chad : come on , panicking is n't gon na do any good . gabi : well , i have to do something , okay ? i have to see my little girl again ! [ speaking spanish ] deimos : are you waiting for some kind of reaction ? jj : have you seen it before or not ? deimos : no . i assume you found it here . well , then it probably belongs to maggie or nicole or maybe even eve . jj : it belongs to gabi hernandez . deimos : okay ? well , she 's here a lot . she and sonny share a child together , right ? jj : and jewelry just falls off her when she 's here ? deimos : are you seriously asking me this question ? all right , you know what ? honestly , i do n't give a damn who it belongs to . i have my rights , and as far as i 'm concerned , you 're trespassing . jj : it 's not trespassing if we have a warrant . deimos : well , then maybe it 's time to get it revoked . maggie : i thought i heard you , jj ; what 're you doing here ? and why are the police tearing up my newly - decorated living room ? jj : i did n't think you 'd be here , aunt maggie , but since you are , i 'll tell you . gabi 's gone missing , along with chad dimera . and deimos here is acting all defensive . maggie : well ? are you ? find a way into the kiriakis mansion so we can access the titan computer so drew can hack into it , get past the firewall , and plant the virus . adrienne : okay , that sounds all very `` jason bourne ; `` now how do you propose we even get in ? anne : yeah . jennifer : well , you have a connection with justin and sonny . adrienne : yeah , normally i 'd use it , but the last time i was there , deimos caught me eavesdropping about the key and he was n't happy . i can only imagine what he 'd do to me now if he caught me . jennifer : okay , well , my only connection is aunt maggie , and i am not gon na get her involved . [ phone beeps ] adrienne : she ca n't . jennifer : oh , shoot . adrienne : what ? jennifer : this is from my source at the salem pd . they got a search warrant for the mansion . jj 's in charge , which means that the police are gon na get there and they 're gon na seize everything that we need anyway , so we probably just missed our chance . anne : wait , are they still there ? jennifer : well , apparently so -- why ? anne : i do n't know , i think i may have an idea that can get us exactly what we need . dario : come here . i know this is n't my place , i just -- abigail : yeah , if you 're telling me i ca n't go pick up my son , then you 're right , it 's not . dario : no , what i meant to say was ... i do n't want you leaving here alone , it 's not safe . abigail : look , i 've survived burning buildings and faking death ; i think i can handle salem after dark . dario : okay , fine , just ... will you be on alert , okay ? i do n't want you to be next on deimos ' list . abigail : i do n't think any of us really have any control over that . but i will be careful . i promise . kate : dario 's concern for abigail is quite sweet . eduardo : i 'll be the same way with you when you give me another chance . abigail : take care of yourself . i think your dad holds me responsible for you leaving the hospital early . dario : no , no , no , he likes you . i can tell . abigail : bye . dario : hmm . eduardo : so ... with regard to who might 've stolen the key . dario : i need to make a few calls . see if i can find someone who can help . maggie : i 'm waiting . jj : let 's head upstairs , continue the search . maggie : you do what you have to do , jj . i 'll handle this . well , it 's just the two of us now . look me in the eye and tell me . are you behind chad and gabi 's disappearance ? deimos : no . maggie : no . oh , deimos . you used to be a better liar . how could you ? gabi : help ! please somebody help us ! get us out of here , we 're gon na freeze to death ! please , anybody ! somebody help , please ! help us ! help ! chad : stop ! stop ! screaming and pouting is n't doing any good . gabi : so what , we 're just gon na sit here , we 're gon na wait ? chad : well , i 'm trying to stay sane , keep my wits about me . somebody 's got to do it . gabi : are you saying i 'm crazy ? chad : that 's exactly what i 'm saying . deimos : you really need to calm down . maggie : chad and gabi are missing . and you have them . deimos : i never said that i did . maggie : stop playing games with me . deimos : maggie , do i need to remind you that we 're at war with two families ? maggie : are n't there enough wars in the world ? do we need to make another one ? deimos : we did n't start this one , all right ? the hernandezes and the dimeras have been encroaching on titan business . now , as acting ceo , it 's my job to make sure that the kiriakis family stays on top . and i 'm confident victor would agree with me on that . maggie : my husband would not back you on this . deimos : you know what , maggie ? you really should n't even be involved in this . maggie : what you 've done is not business , deimos . it 's a felony . your insidious hatred and your insatiable need to be number one at all cost has put too many lives in danger . now , if you do n't hear anything else i 've said , hear this -- free chad and gabi now . before it 's too late . gabi : unless someone rescues us , or we find some way to rescue ourselves , we are going to turn into human popsicles . chad : i know . gabi : you just gon na stand there ? with no emotion , except anger at me ? i 'm not gon na do that -- i 'm not gon na give up . no . i am going to fight for my life until the bitter end . hmm ? and still , there you are . with that hard , cold stare . of course , i mean , what do i expect , you 're a dimera . with a heart like stone , with ice water in your veins . but you know what ? not me . i bet this suits you , i bet you like the cold . i do n't -- see , i 'm real , okay ? i 'm warm , i 'm alive , i -- chad : do not say another word . jennifer : whoa . if i did n't know better -- adrienne : i 'd definitely be nervous if she pulled me over . i ca n't believe you had this hanging in your closet . how did you get it ? anne : you know , it 's a good story . kate : i do n't want to hear it . i do n't , i 'm just glad you have it so now you can help us with our plan . anne : yeah . the plan -- what is it , exactly ? well , just so i know . adrienne : look , at least she 's conscientious , right ? jennifer : all right , so like i said , twice already , you 're going to find your way into the kiriakis mansion , you 're gon na pretend that you are part of this search with the other cops . once inside , you are going to seize every single piece of electronic equipment that has not already been confiscated . you are then going to bring it back here . drew is going to hack into it , and plant his virus into the titan computer . you think you can handle that ? anne : piece of cake . i bet i score a plate of hors d'oeuvres while i 'm at it . kate : this is not a game show -- adrienne : anne knows what 's at stake , okay ? anne : yeah -- oh , and to prove it , i brought an additional prop . yeah , just to , uh , make this whole getup seem more believable . [ both scream ] anne : huh ? eduardo : coffee , black , no sugar . kate : right , you remembered . eduardo : oh , i remember a lot . dario : okay . all right , i spoke to my friend , mike . he 's a longshoreman who was working at pier 119 the night the key went missing . eduardo : what 'd he say ? dario : well , for one thing , he said that they moved the shipment from pier 119 to 27 . kate : did he say why ? dario : well , he assumed because 27 does n't have the traffic that 119 does . eduardo : that makes sense . kate : especially if you 're trying to hide something . dario : he also said that he saw a woman at pier 119 , right before the cops showed up and found the container empty . eduardo : i do n't suppose he got her name . dario : no , but he gave me a description . said she had blonde hair , blue eyes , she was about 5 ' 3 , 5 ' 4 . kate : well , that describes half the population of salem . dario : he also said that she was wearing a dark baseball cap , a coat , and said she was there looking for her cheating boyfriend who was due to arrive on a ship that night . eduardo : well , that 's interesting . but that description 's not gon na get us anywhere . dario : yeah . i thought the same thing until he saw a column in `` the spectator . `` he realized that the woman he saw that night was the woman in the picture next to the column . and she also happens to be one of the paper 's owners . kate : are you kidding me ? talk about burying the lede . eduardo : what , what -- do you know who he 's talking about ? kate : well , of course i do . it 's jennifer horton . [ sighs ] eduardo : so what would jennifer horton be doing down at the docks at night ? dario : she 's a journalist . she could be following a tip . kate : well , you have to admit , it 's kind of a coincidence that she 's down there the same night that the key goes missing . eduardo : perhaps we need to pay ms . horton a visit ? kate : i can give her a call . but i do n't have any signal . dario : why do n't you try the office ? eduardo : hey , you know jennifer ? dario : no . not really . she 's abigail 's mom . we do n't need any harm coming to her . eduardo : yeah . but mother or not , this needs to stay between the three of us . dario : why is that ? eduardo : if jennifer 's out there poking her nose in somewhere where it 's not welcome , and abigail gets involved , she could end up getting hurt . i 'd hate to see her end up as some kind of collateral damage . right ? jennifer : you have a gun ? are you insane ? anne : i would appreciate it if you did n't speak to me that way . jennifer : the fact that you have this proves that you do not understand the gravity of this situation . anne : i think it proves that i absolutely understand -- adrienne : shh , just calm down ! this might not have been such a good idea . drew : [ groans ] ugh , what 's going on ? jennifer : drew , nothing , nothing , nothing . it 's okay , we did n't mean to wake you up . drew : oh , that 's all right , i was dreaming that someone yelled `` gun , `` it just woke me up . jennifer : no , no , no , no , you go back to sleep . come on , it 's all right , it 's all right , you need your rest . drew : no , no , what i need to do is to get back to work so i can get this virus up and running in case we get a chance to bring down the orwell . adrienne : no , just -- keep it pointed down and the safety on . one false move , and it can accidentally go off . anne : on -- how do you know when it 's on ? jennifer : i am so not hearing this . i ca n't even believe what you 're saying right now . anne : well , i do n't know , i never used it . it 's not like i know how it fires or anything . listen , i bought it at one time and i have n't had use for it until now . adrienne : seriously ? you having a gun in this day and age ? give me a break ! jennifer : would you just go ? please leave and go do this , and do not screw this up . anne : all right , well , thanks for the faith . adrienne : [ sighs ] she 'll be fine once she gets there . jennifer : it 's not like we have any other options right now . adrienne : [ sighs ] what , you need to be somewhere ? jennifer : i was supposed to meet abigail but -- adrienne : no , go , go , go , i 'll keep an eye on drew . jennifer : uh , okay . hey , drew . listen , i 'm gon na go out for a little bit , okay ? but adrienne 's gon na be here and she 's gon na keep an eye on you . all right ? drew : mm - hmm . jennifer : okay . do not open that door . adrienne : no , i 'm gon na lock it the second you leave . jennifer : i mean it , not to anyone , because even the bellboy is a threat if deimos and his money got to him first . adrienne : believe me , i know -- i got it ! jj : now that we 've confiscated these files , it 's time for phase two . lani : earmark all titan property within a ten mile radius , the more obscure , the better . it might lead us to their location . jj : it 's worth a shot . what ? lani : with deimos , earlier . jj : yeah ? lani : i was surprised that you only brought up chad and gabi . jj : you think i should 've called him on the war with the families over the orwell ? lani : and maybe the shipping container being broken into . the famous key being stolen . jj : i thought about it , but i did n't want to push too hard . i do n't want him to know what i know . lani : he did appear slightly unnerved when we left . more than just angry about his place being tossed . jj : mm - hmm , well , that 's the idea . now thanks to these files , i 'm about to know a whole lot more than deimos ever counted on . maggie : make this right , deimos . before i take matters into my own hands . victor : who in god 's name gave the salem pd permission to tear up this house ? maggie : well , make sure that your bother cleans up the mess that he 's made . and fast . victor : i 'm ready when you are . deimos : you 're not gon na like it . victor : for god 's sake , deimos , just tell me what you 've done this time . deimos : i did n't admit anything to maggie , but her suspicions are correct . i am holding chad dimera and gabi hernandez . victor : by `` holding , `` am i to assume -- deimos : they 're in a meat locker in a warehouse across town . victor : have you lost your mind ? deimos : i needed leverage to get their families to hand over what they took from us . namely , the key to the orwell application . victor : no wonder maggie 's so incensed . deimos : yeah , you 're right , she does n't approve . victor : you think i would ? deimos : i 'm trying to get back what belongs to us , victor . victor : i understand . frankly , i was expecting much worse . deimos : somehow , i knew you would get it . victor : oh , do n't get cocky . understanding it does n't mean that i like it . deimos : yeah , well , i know it was risky . victor : too risky for my blood . deimos : well , at least no one 's been harmed . victor : yes , well , somehow , i do n't think that possibility 's off the table . deimos : as long as i get what i want . victor : i 'll work on maggie . meantime , resolve this . sooner rather than later . before it turns into something you ca n't resolve . gabi : you let me go ! chad : you need to dial it back . gabi : and you need to let me go ! chad : take a breath . gabi : i am breathing . i have n't stopped breathing -- i ca n't ! okay ? as long as i 'm alive , as long as i 'm breathing , i 'm gon na keep fighting . 'cause i 'm gon na see my little girl again . poor arianna 's probably worried . she does n't know where i am ; she does n't know why i have n't come home yet . chad : she 's gon na see you again ! gabi : you do n't know that ! you do n't know anything ! god , you do n't know how i feel . you do n't know what being in here is making me feel . you do n't know that the walls are closing in , and -- [ cries ] chad , i 'm so scared . i 've never been this scared in my life ! lani : still nothing ? jj : there 's not even a clue as to where that son of a bitch is holding them . lani : hey , look , maybe you should take a walk , you know ? go clear your head . jj : i do n't need a walk , i need to find gabi before it 's too late . lani : so this is n't just about police work . it 's about gabi . you still care about her . jj : it 's not just her . it 's her little girl , too . for a while there , i felt like arianna was my daughter . lani : i remember seeing you with her once . there was a definite connection . jj : i 'm not about to let her grow up without her mom . she 's already lost one parent . she 's not going to lose another . not on my watch . chad : i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry for how i acted . and for ... calling you crazy . it 's just that , when i see you flipping out , i ... it makes it really hard to keep things together . gabi : i get that . i just wish you 'd understand that i 'm not like you . and that me being myself would n't make you so mad . chad : you being you does n't make me mad . gabi : then what is it ? chad : 'cause when i 'm with ... anger is the only thing i could allow myself to feel with you . it 's the only thing that 's safe . [ crickets chirping ] [ pensive instrumental music ] jennifer : hey . how you holding up ? abigail : i do n't even know anymore . jennifer : i 'm sure you 're just ... still in shock . abigail : mom , i just want 'em to be okay , but i 'm so afraid that they 're not gon na be . jennifer : no , trust me . chad and gabi will be okay . abigail : how do you know ? jennifer : i just have a gut feeling ... a really good feeling that everything is going to be resolved very soon .

[ dramatic music ] [ lock clicking ] [ doorknob rattling ] gabi : just let us go ! chad : [ grunting ] deimos : get in there . yeah , this 'll do . out of the way , soundproof . chad : never gon na work out . we -- we do n't even have your damn key , deimos . deimos : well , you know something ? you 're starting to convince me , but i have to assume that one of your family members does have the key . well , you have everything you could hope for here , so i will see you again once i get possession of the key . let 's just hope that your family members care more about you than what they would 've made from the orwell . chad : deimos ! gabi : do n't leave us in here ! no ! chad : deimos !

[ growling ] gabi : you hear that ? chad : what ? gabi : it 's my stomach growling . ugh . chad : yeah , that 's my bad . guard would n't have taken our lunches if i would n't have attacked him . gabi : no , i 'm -- i 'm glad you did . chad : that 's not what you said when it happened . gabi : i know because i hated that you got hurt because of me . chad : well , i was happy to do it . gabi : yeah , well , do n't -- just do n't engage him next time you see him , okay ? chad : there may not be a next time . gabi : no , he said that our host wants us alive , he does n't -- chad : yeah , because we 're bargaining chips . gabi : chad , did you have to say `` chips `` ? do you have to say that word ? chad : okay , look , i get that you 're hungry , but i 'm gon na need you to suck it up . gabi : excuse me and my empty stomach . chad : sorry , i just think that we need to ... keep our heads down and our mouths shut . abigail : hey . oh , no , it 's okay , you just got out of the hospital . eduardo : yeah , he 'd still be there if someone had n't told him about his sister . abigail : look , i 'm sorry . i thought he knew . dario : hey , hey , hey , it 's not your fault . when i found out about my sister , there was no way in hell i was gon na stay in that hospital . not when i 'm probably the reason that deimos took her in the first place . eduardo : no , i think holding gabi and chad hostage is more about that `` key `` to the computer program . they did n't think you did it . kate : only we do n't have the key . dario : we do n't even know what the key is . eduardo : we 're running out of time . kate : i know , that 's why i 'm hoping sonny is going to be able to talk some sense into his uncle before it 's too late . he said he 'd go directly from the airport to see deimos , so ... eduardo : yeah . maybe he should wait before he goes to deimos . kate : wait ? okay , so if you have another plan , you need to tell me what it is , now . anne : okay , so drew , he 's the key deimos kiriakis is looking for ? jennifer : hey , i told you to keep your voice down . this is top secret . and of all the people you had to bring , really ? adrienne : well , you should 've told me to come alone . anne : wait a minute , hold on , i promise , my lips are sealed . adrienne : well , they better be , or you 're fired . jennifer : all right , can we just talk about why i brought you here in the first place ? adrienne : so drew created a virus that can destroy the computer program that he created ? jennifer : yes . adrienne : okay , and you said he needs access to a kiriakis computer ? jennifer : yes , to get past the firewall , but the problem is , deimos is desperately looking for drew , aka the key . adrienne : and if he finds drew here , with us , he 'll kill us all . kate : so . exactly why should n't sonny go straight to deimos ? eduardo : well , i was just thinking that maybe we should talk to sonny first . get him up to speed , as it were . kate : okay , well , i already briefed him . and i think it 's important that he just gets to deimos and somehow sways him , because god knows what deimos has intended for those two . eduardo : yeah -- yeah , but the important thing is that one way or another , we 'll find them . kate : hope so . chad 's like a son to me . he 's a good man . sometimes too good . abigail : yeah , you are right about that . kate : you know , i 've always had a soft spot in my heart for gabi , too . ever since the two of them worked for me at countess w. there 's something very special about the two of them . abigail : so i guess it 's just all up to sonny now , huh ? unless we can figure out what the key is and get it back to deimos before it 's too late . dario : even if we could , i do n't trust that that bastard is gon na keep his word and let gabi and chad go free . kate : i agree with dario . deimos is a liar ; he 'll do and he 'll say anything to get what he wants . and if he does n't get it , god help anyone who comes into his sights . deimos : is anyone gon na answer me , or do i have to call your superior ? jj : that would be commissioner brady ; he 's actually the one who sent us over here . deimos : on what grounds ? jj : we 've got it on good authority you may have something to do with the disappearance of gabriella hernandez and chad dimera . we also have witnesses who can attest that this was the last place they were seen . deimos : mm , witnesses , really ? you mean like henderson , the butler ? jj : we 'll search the upstairs next . deimos : detective deveraux , am i right ? are you sure this is n't personal ? i mean , considering that chad 's gone missing with your ex - girlfriend , right ? if they 've run off together , why is that my problem ? jj : have you seen this before ? gabi : [ speaking spanish ] [ banging ] gabi : [ speaking spanish ] we 're in here ! chad : hello ? gabi : please help us , we 're in here ! chad : hello ? [ motor humming ] gabi : what ... what is that ? chad : sounds like a car engine idling . cold air 's coming through . which means it 's the freezer motor . gabi : wait , so it has n't been on this whole time ? chad : somebody must 've fixed it and turned it on . gabi : well , what ... oh , my god , chad , what if it was deimos ? what if he -- what if he got his key ? what if he does n't need us anymore ? what if he left us here to die ? adrienne : okay , okay . i 'm all for ending the war between the families -- jennifer : oh , no , no , no , i sense a `` but `` coming . adrienne : is n't deimos gon na be even angrier at drew because of this virus ? he could retaliate by hurting chad again -- or worse ! jennifer : he probably hurt them already . adrienne : abigail must be worried sick . does she know that drew 's the key ? jennifer : no , i do not want her involved , especially if i can handle this on my own . adrienne : you do n't have to . you have me . anne : and me . i mean , if you want me . jennifer : i do n't think i have a choice . please , let 's talk about our next move , let 's figure it out . eduardo : apparently , someone broke into the shipping container and stole the key before deimos could get it himself . kate : and naturally , he accused the dimeras . dario : and our family . abigail : but ca n't we find out whoever stole the key and just get them to give it back ? kate : do you know who that is , because i do n't . [ phone beeps ] abigail : look , i got to go get thomas . i 'll catch you guys later . dario : no , you 're not going anywhere . chad : let 's just , um -- let 's not jump to any conclusions , okay ? gabi : how else do you explain the freezer coming on , and nobody coming back to feed us , okay ? what if deimos just gave up on this key ? what if he just left us here for us to freeze to death ? oh , my gosh , no , please ! please , you have to let us out ! please , we wo n't tell anybody -- chad : come on , panicking is n't gon na do any good . gabi : well , i have to do something , okay ? i have to see my little girl again ! [ speaking spanish ] deimos : are you waiting for some kind of reaction ? jj : have you seen it before or not ? deimos : no . i assume you found it here . well , then it probably belongs to maggie or nicole or maybe even eve . jj : it belongs to gabi hernandez . deimos : okay ? well , she 's here a lot . she and sonny share a child together , right ? jj : and jewelry just falls off her when she 's here ? deimos : are you seriously asking me this question ? all right , you know what ? honestly , i do n't give a damn who it belongs to . i have my rights , and as far as i 'm concerned , you 're trespassing . jj : it 's not trespassing if we have a warrant . deimos : well , then maybe it 's time to get it revoked . maggie : i thought i heard you , jj ; what 're you doing here ? and why are the police tearing up my newly - decorated living room ? jj : i did n't think you 'd be here , aunt maggie , but since you are , i 'll tell you . gabi 's gone missing , along with chad dimera . and deimos here is acting all defensive . maggie : well ? are you ? find a way into the kiriakis mansion so we can access the titan computer so drew can hack into it , get past the firewall , and plant the virus . adrienne : okay , that sounds all very `` jason bourne ; `` now how do you propose we even get in ? anne : yeah . jennifer : well , you have a connection with justin and sonny . adrienne : yeah , normally i 'd use it , but the last time i was there , deimos caught me eavesdropping about the key and he was n't happy . i can only imagine what he 'd do to me now if he caught me . jennifer : okay , well , my only connection is aunt maggie , and i am not gon na get her involved . [ phone beeps ] adrienne : she ca n't . jennifer : oh , shoot . adrienne : what ? jennifer : this is from my source at the salem pd . they got a search warrant for the mansion . jj 's in charge , which means that the police are gon na get there and they 're gon na seize everything that we need anyway , so we probably just missed our chance . anne : wait , are they still there ? jennifer : well , apparently so -- why ? anne : i do n't know , i think i may have an idea that can get us exactly what we need . dario : come here . i know this is n't my place , i just -- abigail : yeah , if you 're telling me i ca n't go pick up my son , then you 're right , it 's not . dario : no , what i meant to say was ... i do n't want you leaving here alone , it 's not safe . abigail : look , i 've survived burning buildings and faking death ; i think i can handle salem after dark . dario : okay , fine , just ... will you be on alert , okay ? i do n't want you to be next on deimos ' list . abigail : i do n't think any of us really have any control over that . but i will be careful . i promise . kate : dario 's concern for abigail is quite sweet . eduardo : i 'll be the same way with you when you give me another chance . abigail : take care of yourself . i think your dad holds me responsible for you leaving the hospital early . dario : no , no , no , he likes you . i can tell . abigail : bye . dario : hmm . eduardo : so ... with regard to who might 've stolen the key . dario : i need to make a few calls . see if i can find someone who can help . maggie : i 'm waiting . jj : let 's head upstairs , continue the search . maggie : you do what you have to do , jj . i 'll handle this . well , it 's just the two of us now . look me in the eye and tell me . are you behind chad and gabi 's disappearance ? deimos : no . maggie : no . oh , deimos . you used to be a better liar . how could you ? gabi : help ! please somebody help us ! get us out of here , we 're gon na freeze to death ! please , anybody ! somebody help , please ! help us ! help ! chad : stop ! stop ! screaming and pouting is n't doing any good . gabi : so what , we 're just gon na sit here , we 're gon na wait ? chad : well , i 'm trying to stay sane , keep my wits about me . somebody 's got to do it . gabi : are you saying i 'm crazy ? chad : that 's exactly what i 'm saying . deimos : you really need to calm down . maggie : chad and gabi are missing . and you have them . deimos : i never said that i did . maggie : stop playing games with me . deimos : maggie , do i need to remind you that we 're at war with two families ? maggie : are n't there enough wars in the world ? do we need to make another one ? deimos : we did n't start this one , all right ? the hernandezes and the dimeras have been encroaching on titan business . now , as acting ceo , it 's my job to make sure that the kiriakis family stays on top . and i 'm confident victor would agree with me on that . maggie : my husband would not back you on this . deimos : you know what , maggie ? you really should n't even be involved in this . maggie : what you 've done is not business , deimos . it 's a felony . your insidious hatred and your insatiable need to be number one at all cost has put too many lives in danger . now , if you do n't hear anything else i 've said , hear this -- free chad and gabi now . before it 's too late . gabi : unless someone rescues us , or we find some way to rescue ourselves , we are going to turn into human popsicles . chad : i know . gabi : you just gon na stand there ? with no emotion , except anger at me ? i 'm not gon na do that -- i 'm not gon na give up . no . i am going to fight for my life until the bitter end . hmm ? and still , there you are . with that hard , cold stare . of course , i mean , what do i expect , you 're a dimera . with a heart like stone , with ice water in your veins . but you know what ? not me . i bet this suits you , i bet you like the cold . i do n't -- see , i 'm real , okay ? i 'm warm , i 'm alive , i -- chad : do not say another word . jennifer : whoa . if i did n't know better -- adrienne : i 'd definitely be nervous if she pulled me over . i ca n't believe you had this hanging in your closet . how did you get it ? anne : you know , it 's a good story . kate : i do n't want to hear it . i do n't , i 'm just glad you have it so now you can help us with our plan . anne : yeah . the plan -- what is it , exactly ? well , just so i know . adrienne : look , at least she 's conscientious , right ? jennifer : all right , so like i said , twice already , you 're going to find your way into the kiriakis mansion , you 're gon na pretend that you are part of this search with the other cops . once inside , you are going to seize every single piece of electronic equipment that has not already been confiscated . you are then going to bring it back here . drew is going to hack into it , and plant his virus into the titan computer . you think you can handle that ? anne : piece of cake . i bet i score a plate of hors d'oeuvres while i 'm at it . kate : this is not a game show -- adrienne : anne knows what 's at stake , okay ? anne : yeah -- oh , and to prove it , i brought an additional prop . yeah , just to , uh , make this whole getup seem more believable . [ both scream ] anne : huh ? eduardo : coffee , black , no sugar . kate : right , you remembered . eduardo : oh , i remember a lot . dario : okay . all right , i spoke to my friend , mike . he 's a longshoreman who was working at pier 119 the night the key went missing . eduardo : what 'd he say ? dario : well , for one thing , he said that they moved the shipment from pier 119 to 27 . kate : did he say why ? dario : well , he assumed because 27 does n't have the traffic that 119 does . eduardo : that makes sense . kate : especially if you 're trying to hide something . dario : he also said that he saw a woman at pier 119 , right before the cops showed up and found the container empty . eduardo : i do n't suppose he got her name . dario : no , but he gave me a description . said she had blonde hair , blue eyes , she was about 5 ' 3 , 5 ' 4 . kate : well , that describes half the population of salem . dario : he also said that she was wearing a dark baseball cap , a coat , and said she was there looking for her cheating boyfriend who was due to arrive on a ship that night . eduardo : well , that 's interesting . but that description 's not gon na get us anywhere . dario : yeah . i thought the same thing until he saw a column in `` the spectator . `` he realized that the woman he saw that night was the woman in the picture next to the column . and she also happens to be one of the paper 's owners . kate : are you kidding me ? talk about burying the lede . eduardo : what , what -- do you know who he 's talking about ? kate : well , of course i do . it 's jennifer horton . [ sighs ] eduardo : so what would jennifer horton be doing down at the docks at night ? dario : she 's a journalist . she could be following a tip . kate : well , you have to admit , it 's kind of a coincidence that she 's down there the same night that the key goes missing . eduardo : perhaps we need to pay ms . horton a visit ? kate : i can give her a call . but i do n't have any signal . dario : why do n't you try the office ? eduardo : hey , you know jennifer ? dario : no . not really . she 's abigail 's mom . we do n't need any harm coming to her . eduardo : yeah . but mother or not , this needs to stay between the three of us . dario : why is that ? eduardo : if jennifer 's out there poking her nose in somewhere where it 's not welcome , and abigail gets involved , she could end up getting hurt . i 'd hate to see her end up as some kind of collateral damage . right ? jennifer : you have a gun ? are you insane ? anne : i would appreciate it if you did n't speak to me that way . jennifer : the fact that you have this proves that you do not understand the gravity of this situation . anne : i think it proves that i absolutely understand -- adrienne : shh , just calm down ! this might not have been such a good idea . drew : [ groans ] ugh , what 's going on ? jennifer : drew , nothing , nothing , nothing . it 's okay , we did n't mean to wake you up . drew : oh , that 's all right , i was dreaming that someone yelled `` gun , `` it just woke me up . jennifer : no , no , no , no , you go back to sleep . come on , it 's all right , it 's all right , you need your rest . drew : no , no , what i need to do is to get back to work so i can get this virus up and running in case we get a chance to bring down the orwell . adrienne : no , just -- keep it pointed down and the safety on . one false move , and it can accidentally go off . anne : on -- how do you know when it 's on ? jennifer : i am so not hearing this . i ca n't even believe what you 're saying right now . anne : well , i do n't know , i never used it . it 's not like i know how it fires or anything . listen , i bought it at one time and i have n't had use for it until now . adrienne : seriously ? you having a gun in this day and age ? give me a break ! jennifer : would you just go ? please leave and go do this , and do not screw this up . anne : all right , well , thanks for the faith . adrienne : [ sighs ] she 'll be fine once she gets there . jennifer : it 's not like we have any other options right now . adrienne : [ sighs ] what , you need to be somewhere ? jennifer : i was supposed to meet abigail but -- adrienne : no , go , go , go , i 'll keep an eye on drew . jennifer : uh , okay . hey , drew . listen , i 'm gon na go out for a little bit , okay ? but adrienne 's gon na be here and she 's gon na keep an eye on you . all right ? drew : mm - hmm . jennifer : okay . do not open that door . adrienne : no , i 'm gon na lock it the second you leave . jennifer : i mean it , not to anyone , because even the bellboy is a threat if deimos and his money got to him first . adrienne : believe me , i know -- i got it ! jj : now that we 've confiscated these files , it 's time for phase two . lani : earmark all titan property within a ten mile radius , the more obscure , the better . it might lead us to their location . jj : it 's worth a shot . what ? lani : with deimos , earlier . jj : yeah ? lani : i was surprised that you only brought up chad and gabi . jj : you think i should 've called him on the war with the families over the orwell ? lani : and maybe the shipping container being broken into . the famous key being stolen . jj : i thought about it , but i did n't want to push too hard . i do n't want him to know what i know . lani : he did appear slightly unnerved when we left . more than just angry about his place being tossed . jj : mm - hmm , well , that 's the idea . now thanks to these files , i 'm about to know a whole lot more than deimos ever counted on . maggie : make this right , deimos . before i take matters into my own hands . victor : who in god 's name gave the salem pd permission to tear up this house ? maggie : well , make sure that your bother cleans up the mess that he 's made . and fast . victor : i 'm ready when you are . deimos : you 're not gon na like it . victor : for god 's sake , deimos , just tell me what you 've done this time . deimos : i did n't admit anything to maggie , but her suspicions are correct . i am holding chad dimera and gabi hernandez . victor : by `` holding , `` am i to assume -- deimos : they 're in a meat locker in a warehouse across town . victor : have you lost your mind ? deimos : i needed leverage to get their families to hand over what they took from us . namely , the key to the orwell application . victor : no wonder maggie 's so incensed . deimos : yeah , you 're right , she does n't approve . victor : you think i would ? deimos : i 'm trying to get back what belongs to us , victor . victor : i understand . frankly , i was expecting much worse . deimos : somehow , i knew you would get it . victor : oh , do n't get cocky . understanding it does n't mean that i like it . deimos : yeah , well , i know it was risky . victor : too risky for my blood . deimos : well , at least no one 's been harmed . victor : yes , well , somehow , i do n't think that possibility 's off the table . deimos : as long as i get what i want . victor : i 'll work on maggie . meantime , resolve this . sooner rather than later . before it turns into something you ca n't resolve . gabi : you let me go ! chad : you need to dial it back . gabi : and you need to let me go ! chad : take a breath . gabi : i am breathing . i have n't stopped breathing -- i ca n't ! okay ? as long as i 'm alive , as long as i 'm breathing , i 'm gon na keep fighting . 'cause i 'm gon na see my little girl again . poor arianna 's probably worried . she does n't know where i am ; she does n't know why i have n't come home yet . chad : she 's gon na see you again ! gabi : you do n't know that ! you do n't know anything ! god , you do n't know how i feel . you do n't know what being in here is making me feel . you do n't know that the walls are closing in , and -- [ cries ] chad , i 'm so scared . i 've never been this scared in my life ! lani : still nothing ? jj : there 's not even a clue as to where that son of a bitch is holding them . lani : hey , look , maybe you should take a walk , you know ? go clear your head . jj : i do n't need a walk , i need to find gabi before it 's too late . lani : so this is n't just about police work . it 's about gabi . you still care about her . jj : it 's not just her . it 's her little girl , too . for a while there , i felt like arianna was my daughter . lani : i remember seeing you with her once . there was a definite connection . jj : i 'm not about to let her grow up without her mom . she 's already lost one parent . she 's not going to lose another . not on my watch . chad : i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry for how i acted . and for ... calling you crazy . it 's just that , when i see you flipping out , i ... it makes it really hard to keep things together . gabi : i get that . i just wish you 'd understand that i 'm not like you . and that me being myself would n't make you so mad . chad : you being you does n't make me mad . gabi : then what is it ? chad : 'cause when i 'm with ... anger is the only thing i could allow myself to feel with you . it 's the only thing that 's safe . [ crickets chirping ] [ pensive instrumental music ] jennifer : hey . how you holding up ? abigail : i do n't even know anymore . jennifer : i 'm sure you 're just ... still in shock . abigail : mom , i just want 'em to be okay , but i 'm so afraid that they 're not gon na be . jennifer : no , trust me . chad and gabi will be okay . abigail : how do you know ? jennifer : i just have a gut feeling ... a really good feeling that everything is going to be resolved very soon . [ dramatic music ] [ door rattles closed ] [ door rattles open ] deimos : oh ! anne : excuse me . deimos : you 're not expecting an apology , are you ? this is my house . you 're intruding . anne : uh , sir , i - i am here -- i 'm here on official business . deimos : yeah , yeah , yeah , yeah , and you know what you can do with that . what are you still doing here ? anne : i 'm -- you know , i 'm -- actually , i -- detective deveraux ordered everybody out of here except me . anne : listen , rookie . i 'm not a rookie . i 've got ten years ' experience . anne : really ? well , the commissioner sent me here on official business . roman brady ? wha -- anne : [ scoffs ] is there some other commissioner i do n't know about ? yeah . i have orders to get that laptop right there to the station asap , and all this grilling is gon na do is make me late and commissioner brady not happy . is there a problem now ? yeah , i do n't remember seeing you before . anne : oh , really ? well , that 's 'cause i just got transferred . eduardo : kate is still trying to get in touch with jennifer . dario : it 's really too bad myron could n't duplicate that technology . eduardo : yeah . sonny 's flight should be arriving anytime . dario : you think this guy can help ? eduardo : yeah , i do , but not necessarily in the same way kate thinks he can help . dario : what are you talking about ? eduardo : this is not for kate to know right now , but andré was thinking -- and i agree with him -- that if deimos can hold gabi and chad as collateral , we should probably be doing the same thing ... with sonny . [ dramatic music ] [ lock clicking ] [ doorknob rattling ] gabi : just let us go ! chad : [ grunting ] deimos : get in there . yeah , this 'll do . out of the way , soundproof . chad : never gon na work out . we -- we do n't even have your damn key , deimos . deimos : well , you know something ? you 're starting to convince me , but i have to assume that one of your family members does have the key . well , you have everything you could hope for here , so i will see you again once i get possession of the key . let 's just hope that your family members care more about you than what they would 've made from the orwell . chad : deimos ! gabi : do n't leave us in here ! no ! chad : deimos ! [ pounding ] gabi : [ gasps ] deimos : well , at least no one 's been harmed . victor : yes , but somehow , i do n't think that possibility 's off the table . deimos : as long as i get what i want . victor : i 'll work on maggie . in meantime , resolve this , sooner rather than later , before it turns into something you ca n't resolve . [ phone beeps ] [ line ringing ] [ phone rings ] eduardo : tbd . deimos : do n't speak , eduardo . just listen , very carefully . if i do n't have that key by tomorrow night , i can not , in good faith , allow my guests to remain comfortable much longer . [ keys tapping ] drew : [ clears throat ] you know , it 's really hard to focus if you just keep hovering . jennifer : i 'm sorry , sorry , sorry , i 'm sorry , sorry , sorry . adrienne : focus away . focus , focus . [ exhales ] [ knock at door , both gasp ] [ suspenseful music ] [ metallic clicking ] jennifer : no ! no guns . [ gasps ] [ dramatic music ] [ whispers ] come in . [ women gasp ] is that what i think it is ? anne : mission accomplished . [ adrienne laughs ] make magic , maestro . adrienne : i knew you could do it ! anne : yes . at least someone had faith in me . jennifer : you proved me wrong . thank you . anne : you 're welcome . i 'm -- i thought i 'd never earn your trust . jennifer : let 's not get carried away . anne : okay . [ keys clacking ] lani : uh -- from what we found so far , the property tax records are the only papers that show what buildings titan owned .

[ sighs ] anita : your baby is gon na be back in your arms soon , honey . chelsea : stop . [ sighs ] is he , mom ? and then what ? and then what ? adam will take him away again ? because he has all the money and all the power . do n't even say it . i know what you and jeffrey said all along . that adam was the jackpot . if i just told him the truth from the beginning , according to you , everything would be perfect . if i had just told the truth . anita : i 'm not gon na say `` i told you so . `` i 've seen you with your baby boy , and you are the mother that i never was . makes me ashamed of myself and so very , very proud of you . but i know it 's late . but i want to be the right kind of mother to you now . chelsea : [ sniffles ] anita : just let me be here for you . tell me what you need . oh , honey . chelsea : [ crying ] hilary : oh , well ... maybe more champagne was n't the best idea . you can hardly stand . cane : i 'm fine . i 'm fine . hilary : yeah . yeah . the former bartender is a lightweight . come here . let me help you . cane : whew . hilary : okay , i 'm gon na be right back , okay ? cane : okay .

[ sighs ] i mean , i always refer to victoria as my firstborn , and that 's a lie . all these lies , all these years . but my firstborn is out there somewhere , and i want -- no , i need to know . i need to know that they grew up happy . i need to know that . [ sighs ] please , god . please , god , let me know . let me know . [ sighs ] avery : dylan is a good man who would never hurt any child , much less one he loves as his own . adam : but it 's not his own . it 's mine , and i do n't want him anywhere near him . avery : how can you be so vindictive ? he 's not the one that deceived you . adam : he kidnapped my son ! avery : he lost everything that he loved in one second , just like that . can you give him some time to grieve ? adam : you want me to let him grieve with my son somewhere where no one knows where he is ? no , he needs to grieve in a jail cell after he gives my son back . avery : wait a minute . you 've made mistakes . you 've made a lot of them , and you 've been forgiven . just -- you have to have some compassion here , adam . i know you have it in you . adam : i watched chelsea with this pregnancy . i watched her belly grow . i saw her radiant and smiling and glowing after she had this baby . and i held my son , and i -- i got to hold my son . did n't even know it . he was crying . i picked him up . it was just him and me . and then dylan walks in and he , uh -- he looks at me like i 'm a monster ready to devour a small child , and he demands that i hand the baby over . and i did . he took him from my arms . and i walked away . and i left a con and her mark and my little boy . i walked away . it should have been dylan who walked away . so i 'm gon na tell you right now that i want to see my son . and i want him to see me while he still can . so not another second is gon na go on without me finding where he is . avery : listen , adam , i feel for you . i really do . but i do n't know where he is . i do n't have answers . i have to go and meet a client right now , but i will gladly help you after -- adam : you know what ? i 'm gon na find him . i 'm going to find him , avery . and when i do , you will not be able to protect him . [ door slams ] avery : [ sighs ] chelsea : no , i am a mom now . i -- i can not just fall apart . anita : you 're allowed a moment or two . chelsea : freaking out is not gon na bring connor home . anita : connor 's with a man who loves him with all of his heart , honey . chelsea : dylan does love connor . but you do n't know about his nightmares , mom . it 's terrifying just lying in bed with him some nights . the sounds -- the loud sounds -- they do something to him . in the storm last night , those noises , they were like triggers for dylan . you know , they 're , like , flashbacks . anita : like the war . oh , my goodness . chelsea : he 's not the same person when that happens . so right now , you can see connor is not with the man that loves him . connor is with a soldier who 's seen terrible things , a soldier who 's very confused right now and very disoriented . anita : did dylan tell you what he went through ? chelsea : he has so much guilt , mom . it 's awful to see . i mean , he survived and others did n't . anita : well , that 's the point . he 's a strong man . he made it out of there . chelsea : he made it out of there and the nightmares followed him . there was a girl .

[ scene_break ] sonny : oh , sorry . i know how deeply important your work is to you . but do you really do it now ? claire : well , it 's an urgent matter , it ca n't wait . want to see ? sonny : huh ? is n't that stuff confidential ? claire : well , i wo n't tell if you wo n't . [ scene_break ] steve : here 's the address . mr. mulvaney told lisa she could use the cabin any time she was to . he has a spare key under the kitchen window beneath a rock . patrick : okay . hopefully that 's where she 's got robin . steve : if she took robin at all . lisa : hey . i 'm sorry . i know that you 're the boss , but since patrick spent the night in lock - up , is it really necessary to keep him at work right away ? i want you to leave with me . right now . [ scene_break ] lulu : um , i 'm not sure i understand what you 're saying . dante : i just think you really like being out here in the middle of nowhere , ireland . i mean , we have no plumbing no heating , we got a busted up car . and you look really happy about it . i mean , you 're running around here like frontier woman trying to make this deserted cottage into a temporary home . it just seems to me like something your mother would have done when she was on the run with luke . lulu : well , i guess i never really thought about it , but yeah , maybe i am trying to relive spencer history . dante : but you never lived it . lulu : technical . okay . i guess i 'm trying to embrace it . is this a bad thing ? is that what you 're ... dante : no , no , not at all . you want to be outlaws ? we can be outlaws . we can be like bonnie and clyde . except for the robbing the banks , unless we really needed the money , of course . but i can get a fedora and like a zoot suit . lulu : oh , whatever . dante : and you can get a sexy white dress that fits really tight . lulu : you know what , you want to make light of this , that 's fine . it actually does n't surprise me , because you did n't grow up listening to these irritating stories about your family 's large life before you came along and killed the adventure . not only was i not born in time to participate , but i was the main reason why my mom insisted on settling in a house that ate my father 's soul . i do n't know , but whatever . maybe you 're right . i 'm here with my courageous cop boyfriend , and i 'm helping my brother take down this infamous , notorious crime lord . what better time do i have to prove myself as a spencer or live up to the legend of luke and laura ? dante : that 's just it . you ca n't . [ scene_break ] patrick : look , i appreciate you worrying about me , but i 'm okay . lisa : i disagree . you need to rest . patrick : it 's not gon na happen . honestly , i 'm a little bit wired from being locked up , and i think getting back to work is probably the best thing for me right now . lisa : you just said it , you 're wired . all right , not just from last night . try the months of dealing with robin 's endless drama . i am not going to take no for an answer . we 're going to go grab lunch , we 'll rent a dvd and we 'll chill . steve : i 'm afraid that 's not going to work . lisa : why not ? steve : because i ca n't spare you . a patient is coming up from the e.r . it sounds like a femur to pelvis rebuild , and i want you to take it . o.r . 5 is being prepped as we speak . lisa : all right . well , you know what , since you 're so determined to work , how about you scrub in ? hmm ? [ scene_break ] mike : hey , maxie . what can i get you ? maxie : i 'm actually going to wait for matt to order . mike : okay . any news on robin ? maxie : no , not yet . but thank you for asking . that 's actually why i 'm meeting matt here to eat . i 'm not very good at sitting around waiting for the phone to ring . he 's actually a pleasant distraction . if i let myself think about it too long , i just get scared . i honestly do n't know what i would do if something happened to robin . i 'm not gon na go there . i 'm not going to think about it . she 's going to be fine . mike : that 's the spirit . so , matt , huh ? i mean , not that it 's any of my business , but i was kind of rooting for spinelli . maxie : time can be cruel . it changes things . mike : yeah . is spinelli doing okay ? is that all right ? maxie : well , as you can imagine , he 's having a really hard time getting over me . mike : of course , of course . so how about some iced tea while you wait ? maxie : sounds good . mike : okay . maxie : spinelli ! i was just telling mike how some things never change . i mean , how many times did i warn you about hacking while walking ? spinelli : maxie ! i did n't notice you . maxie : really ? spinelli : yeah , i 'm sorry . i was distracted by the confirmation of something i 've long suspected . maxie : please tell me this does n't have anything to do with franco . spinelli : what ? no . `` ariel blane `` . maxie : who ? spinelli : `` ariel blane , super spy `` . maxie : um , that did n't help me . i 'm so lost . spinelli : it 's only the most bodacious game ever created , next to `` saga of stone cold `` , of course . and as it turns out , the inspiration for `` ariel `` is none other than stone cold 's ex - wife , the divine brenda barrett . and now that i 've met her , it 's ... most apparent why . she is , without a doubt ... the most captivating woman on the planet . [ scene_break ] brenda : it 's really nice to meet you . sam : you , too . brenda : i 'm so sorry i did n't realize who you are . because he never told me what you look like or anything . he actually has never told me anything about you because he does n't really like to talk . not to me , anyway . jason : yeah , well , no , i do n't see any reason to tell you about my personal life . brenda : what are you talking about ? why would n't you tell me about your personal life ? we 've known each other forever . you have no problem taking away my choices ! jason : taking away your choices ? i just thought your choices were wrong . brenda : oh , now you 're going to tell me how wrong i am in front of your girlfriend ? that 's really nice behavior . jason : sam ! brenda : sorry . sam : no , are you kidding ? it 's okay . it 's actually kinda funny to see you like this . [ scene_break ] sonny : how 'd you get it to do that ? claire : what do you mean ? i 'm a woman of many talents . sonny : yeah , no , i like surprises . claire : yeah ? sonny : yeah . claire : well , i 'm , uh , i 'm just getting started . sonny : yeah ? claire : yeah . before this plane hits the runway , we 're going to have a lot of us time . sonny : yeah ? i like us time . claire : yeah ? sonny : yeah . claire : you know what , i 'm gon na go out on a leap here and assume that this is n't the first time that you 've done this . sonny : um , well ... claire : no , really , i 'm sure you 've had sex on a plane countless times with women . sonny : not countless . claire : no ? is n't it exciting ? sonny : it 's been a long time . claire : mm - hmm . sonny : mm - hmm . claire : do you enjoy it ? sonny : not as much as i 'm going to enjoy right now . [ scene_break ] dante : you know , my nonna , she was chock full of age - old wisdom , but she had a saying . it was `` comparison is the killer of joy . `` lulu : you 're comparing me to your grandma ? how the mighty have fallen . dante : look , think about it , she 's right . i mean , the minute you put yourself or what you have up against someone else , you feel completely inadequate , or your ego gets so blown out of proportion , especially when you compare yourself to other people 's relationships . there 's always going to be another couple out there who 's better off or worse off than you are . and it 's a false impression , because no one knows what really works or does n't work in that relationship except for the people who are in it . lulu : i 'm a little concerned , because that was insightful . dante : i 'm actually trying to be serious . lulu : i know , i know . i know . you do make a good point . you know , my parents were telling these stories to a little girl . so obviously they 're going to emphasize the romance and downplay the danger , or what it was like to live in constant fear . dante : i ca n't imagine how hard it would have been for them after living a life on the run to going back to an ordinary life . i mean , it 's hell for me when i come off an undercover job . i mean , you live this heightened reality , and then you just crash down to mundane . lulu : yeah , i 'm convinced that 's what did in their marriage . i mean , dad was going into this adjustment reluctantly , and i just do n't think it really took . dante : so you see what i 'm getting at here ? lulu : i have a feeling you 're going to tell me . dante : well , i 'll give you a chance to guess it , and then if you 're right , i wo n't have to tell you . lulu : [ laughs ] that i should have a proper perspective , and we will live life on our own terms and i wo n't compare us to my parents . dante : and whatever they have , good and bad , is theirs . and we 'll have whatever we make together . lulu : well , all those cheesy pick - up lines , who would have thought deep down there would be so much wisdom ? dante : fools 'em every time . [ scene_break ] lisa : actually , this is a better idea , 'cause you 've always said that you 're never more centered than when you 're in the o.r . so assist me , all right ? steve : i 'm afraid i 'm going to have to pull rank on this one , too . if you 're going to stick around , i want you on that head trauma we 've been consulting on . patrick : okay . steve : look this over . if you still feel like you need assistance , i 'll get dr. novak . lisa : all right , well , normally if i do n't have patrick i would just do the surgery myself . but this could be a complicated rebuild . steve : epiphany , could you please page dr. novak ? epiphany : right away , doctor . lisa : okay , i am really worried about you and i do n't think that you should be alone . so please meet me after we scrub out . patrick : okay , i can do that . lisa : promise ? patrick : yes . lisa : okay . patrick : she knows . steve : knows what ? patrick : i think she 's figured it out . she 's trying to turn it on me . steve : or maybe she just wanted you to scrub in for surgery . patrick : she 's trying to keep me at the hospital instead of looking for robin . she knows that i 'm onto her . steve : well , i hope you 're right , because from what i 've seen , you 're just grasping at straws . patrick : keep her at the hospital as long as you can , okay ? steve : yeah , i 'll take care of it . good luck . [ scene_break ] mike : here you go , killer . spinelli : thanks , pal . mike : take care . spinelli : you know , the jackal is uncharacteristically at a loss for words . i mean , her ... her presence , her charisma , it was so much more powerful in person than anything that could be captured in a photograph . she ... she is the epitome of womanliness in all its glory . maxie : for pete 's sake , spinelli , you only met brenda for like 5 minutes . i think you 're confusing her with this ariel cartoon or whatever . spinelli : ariel is not a cartoon . she 's a character based on the divine one , for reasons that are now obvious to me . not only is she beyond lovely , but she 's fearless . maxie : how would you know that ? spinelli : because the jackal 's been briefed on recent events . even though the former ms. stone cold was in grave jeopardy , she did not wish to retreat . stone cold had to work hard to convince her , and even stone cold does not intimidate her . maxie : i think i 'm going to throw up . there you are ! i was beginning to think that you were going to forget about me . matt : impossible . spinelli : oh , doctor . do you game ? matt : video or tables ? spinelli : well , i was curious if you 'd ever played `` ariel blane , super spy `` . matt : sure . it took me a week to get past level six , but i did n't mind because the graphics are awesome . spinelli : did you know that brenda barrett is the model , no pun intended , for ariel ? matt : no . no , i did not know that . spinelli : well , it is true . and fortune smiled upon the jackal , because that same ms. barrett is now sharing my abode . to which i must return to post haste to further bask in her loveliness . matt : awesome . see you , buddy . [ door closes ] [ matt chuckles ] [ maxie sighs ] matt : you okay ? maxie : yeah , yeah , i 'm perfect . i just have far more pressing concerns that the awesomeness of brenda barrett , who i 'm really starting to dislike , by the way . there 's still no word on robin . i think mac is working a different angle , but he wo n't tell me anything . he just keeps saying , `` stay out of it , maxie . `` matt : that was not a very worthy effort . maxie : excuse me ? matt : you 're usually much better at the old dodge than that . but , sure , you 're worried about robin , but you 're also worried about your own self interest , too . maxie : i have no idea what you 're talking about . matt : your non - husband has the hots for some other woman and it 's making you crazy .

'cause i 've been very attracted to you , you know . but i never expected you to be , like , so free and sensual . claire : truthfully , this is new . i 've never felt like this before . sonny : oh , come on . claire : no , i 'm serious . sonny : seriously ? well , you know what , i 'm glad i could make you feel like that . does it scare you ? claire : hell , no . this is a feeling that i can have a lot more often .

it 's , uh -- it 's that time of year . people are talking about families and families coming home . sis , i know how hard this is for you , i mean , not having joey or steph here , and the way things ended with steve -- kayla : yeah , well , this time of year certainly intensifies the feelings , you know ? good and bad . roman : yeah . kayla : i 'm sure that 's why kate got to me . just her mentioning steve 's name just -- it just brought all these feelings flooding back , the hurt , wondering why he abandoned me and what i did to get him to stop caring . roman : kayla , look at me and listen to me , okay ? you 're an incredible woman , kind , loving , beautiful inside and outside . steve johnson is an idiot to let you go , and i would love to strangle him for what he 's put you through , okay ? but you know what ? you know what ? i think , in time , you 're gon na get past this . you 're gon na get past this because you got another love now . you 're with justin . kayla : and i 'm grateful for that . roman : but ? kayla : but it 's just -- you know , it 's different for justin . his wife is dead . he knows that the love of his life is gone . he also knows in his heart that she would want him to be happy and to find a love again . roman : and you do n't think that steve would want that for you ? kayla : i have no idea what steve would want for me , so there 's an imbalance in the relationship with justin because he is -- he 's free to fully love me . i mean , he misses adrienne . of course he does . but he 's just -- you know , he 's not wondering what she 's doing or what she 's thinking or ... if she still loves him . roman : and you think that , uh , steve still loves you in spite of the fact he signed the divorce papers , in spite of the fact he has n't contacted you in months ? kayla : sadly , i do . you know , roman , you do n't have a kind of love like steve and i shared for it to end with no reason , and especially because we were so in love when he left . and now there are times that i feel when i am with justin that i am cheating on steve , and it is a horrible feeling , and i 'm -- i 'm not sure it 's really fair to justin either . roman : well , have you and justin talked about this ? kayla : no , no . you are the first person i have said one word to about it . roman : but he 's gon na be at the party tonight ? kayla : no , he went to arizona to be with his kids . you know , it 's the first christmas since adrienne died . roman : okay , well , that makes sense he 'd want to spend it with them . kayla : of course . roman : look , i heard that you and justin moved in together . how 's that working out ? kayla : you know , it 's -- it 's good . you know , we had a really special christmas eve last night , just the two of us , just trying to create some holiday memories of our own . roman : that 's great . kay , that is great . okay , you know , and i think , in time , this guilt about steve , wondering what he 's doing , thinking , all of that , i think you 're gon na get past that . i think that in time , that 's gon na be just fine . you 're gon na be able to relax and appreciate what you and justin have . kayla : i hope so . roman : and like i said , come on , it 's the holidays . we all think about our past loves and people that we had great times with who are n't in our lives anymore . kayla : i have to admit to you that i keep -- i keep thinking about all the christmases with steve , how sweet he was , how he always made me laugh , how much i adored him .

ciara : yeah , to go spend time with baby mickey . he has so much on his mind right now , ben . he does n't have time to worry about us , so i 'm not worried . ben : i 'm worried . ciara : okay , well , i 'm a little bit more concerned about you , right ? i mean , your last appeal is coming up real fast , and i ca n't do much investigating unless xander 's back in town . ben : ciara , we already talked about this , okay ? that is the last thing that i want you to do right now . ciara : ben , shh . you know what ?

will : i - i did n't want to , but i - i j -- i do n't have another choice . i mean , i killed his mom , and as hard as we try , we 're never gon na get past that , and i love him , yes , enough to tell him to be happy and live the life he deserves without me . evan : that 's really nice of you to offer , but would n't it be strange if we just showed up to the hospital party ?

it 's , uh -- it 's that time of year . people are talking about families and families coming home . sis , i know how hard this is for you , i mean , not having joey or steph here , and the way things ended with steve -- kayla : yeah , well , this time of year certainly intensifies the feelings , you know ? good and bad . roman : yeah . kayla : i 'm sure that 's why kate got to me . just her mentioning steve 's name just -- it just brought all these feelings flooding back , the hurt , wondering why he abandoned me and what i did to get him to stop caring . roman : kayla , look at me and listen to me , okay ? you 're an incredible woman , kind , loving , beautiful inside and outside . steve johnson is an idiot to let you go , and i would love to strangle him for what he 's put you through , okay ? but you know what ? you know what ? i think , in time , you 're gon na get past this . you 're gon na get past this because you got another love now . you 're with justin . kayla : and i 'm grateful for that . roman : but ? kayla : but it 's just -- you know , it 's different for justin . his wife is dead . he knows that the love of his life is gone . he also knows in his heart that she would want him to be happy and to find a love again . roman : and you do n't think that steve would want that for you ? kayla : i have no idea what steve would want for me , so there 's an imbalance in the relationship with justin because he is -- he 's free to fully love me . i mean , he misses adrienne . of course he does . but he 's just -- you know , he 's not wondering what she 's doing or what she 's thinking or ... if she still loves him . roman : and you think that , uh , steve still loves you in spite of the fact he signed the divorce papers , in spite of the fact he has n't contacted you in months ?

justin : yes . yes , deimos is a huge problem , but the police have him in custody , and if there 's any justice at all , he 'll be back behind bars for another 30 years . but either way , we have to make sure our plans are in order .

[ chuckles ] what is she doing here ? jennifer : eric , you did n't . no . deimos : honestly , why would i even think of leaving salem ? abe : to avoid being convicted of kidnapping and sentenced to 20 or 30 years in statesville . deimos : yeah , well , i 'm not concerned about that . those charges are gon na be dropped eventually , i 'm sure of it . but until then , i 'm gon na stay right here . now , as my lawyer just argued -- quite effectively , i might add -- i 'm certainly not a flight risk . i have ties to the community . i have a business to run . so until that time , i 'm gon na stay here and enjoy quality time with my family ... bask in their unending love . abe : you know , you 've dodged a lot of bullets , but sooner or later , you will slip up . deimos : [ chuckles ] oh , believe me , from this point forward , i plan on being extra specially careful . abe : when you finally do pay for all the things you 've done , there will be dancing in the streets . deimos : mm . you know , i 'm really sorry for you , because you 're gon na be disappointed . now , i know that you and everyone else in this two - bit town wishes that i would just roll over and die . abe : you know , actually , they wish you would roll over and be dead . deimos : well , that 's just not gon na happen . john : this is wrong , doc . this is -- this is just so wrong . marlena : but they ca n't post that unless brady had asked for it . john : oh , i 'm not gon na let this happen . what the hell is this doing on my son 's door ? valerie : john , i 'm sorry . john : i am his father . i am the next of kin . why was n't i asked about this ? valerie : john , i called you . i did not want you to find out about this like that . john : what the hell difference does it make how i found out ? valerie : come , let 's talk in my office . john : i 'm not going into anybody 's office here . he is a -- he 's my son . he 's got -- he 's got a boy . he 's got a little boy . marlena : john . john . honey , you 've got to calm down , and right now it 's important that you listen . john : no , it 's important that she listens to me , damn it . marlena : the hospital can not do this against brady 's wishes , and they ca n't post a dnr unless it 's authorized by the patient or at least the patient 's designate . valerie : that is exactly right . when your son realized his body was n't accepting the donor heart , he had legal paperwork drawn up . john : he would n't do that . he is a fighter . valerie : i think he did it because he loves you . he loves his family . he did n't want to put you in the position of having to decide when to turn off his life support . marlena : john . brady does n't want to live like this . he would n't even think of this as living at all . john : tate 's a baby . [ sniffles ] [ somber music ] okay , um ... look at this . [ phone beeps ] [ line trilling ] [ phone ringing ] justin : john . john : get your ass down to the hospital right now . jennifer : you brought nicole back here ? i thought you were gon na take her somewhere where she could n't be found . nicole : hey , look , i had to come back . for brady . i needed to see brady again , and he needs to see holly . look , when we were in canada for that ... jennifer , we are his family now . jennifer : nicole , i am sorry . i really am , but you have to understand that everybody is at the hospital . if you go there , you will be arrested . and you -- you 'll be arrested too . nicole : okay , fine , he does n't have to go , but i do . and what you do n't know is brady loves holly . and we were a family for that short time when we were in canada , and ... and brady is the only father that she has ever known . and they bonded so completely , so maybe , maybe ... if he sees her , if -- if ... maybe he 'll hang on . jennifer : nicole , he 's unconscious . he 's not gon na know that you 're there . nicole : then we 'll say good - bye . [ sobs ] eric : you ca n't change her mind . i tried . which means i have to help her . i have to . jennifer : okay , what -- what -- what do you want me to do ? eric : we do n't want to get you into any kind of trouble , but ... listen , you worked there . you know all the entrances , all the exits , all the hideaways , and all we want is -- nicole : [ sniffles ] eric : listen , can you help us , please ? [ dramatic music ] chloe : what the hell ? deimos : chloe . what a pleasant surprise . and may i add , you 're looking quite beautiful today . chloe : what are you doing here ? why are n't you in jail ? deimos : well , i was , briefly , but now i 'm out on bail . what a glorious morning , is n't it ? chloe : well , you 'd better enjoy it , 'cause when they put you away , it 'll be for a very long time . what is it , like , 20 years for kidnapping ? deimos : wow , that is quite a buzzkill . but there is one small detail . someone has to actually prove that i did such a thing . and i 'm pretty confidant that 's not gon na happen . chloe : how dare you ? because of you , i may never see holly again . because of you , brady is dying . prison would be too good for you . you deserve to go to hell . deimos : you know , you really should n't rush to judgment , chloe . i was simply trying to rescue holly and nicole from xander . you do remember that you asked for my help , do n't you ? so i helped . the way i see it , you and i are a team . chloe : the hell we are . i made a mistake asking for your help , because i was desperate . but i see that i made a deal with the devil himself . you -- you know , when you did find nicole again , how could you let her get away from you ? i mean , i would understand why she would run away from you , because she hates you as much as i hate you . you cost me my child . deimos : all right , wait a second . did i hear that right ? did you say `` your child `` ? chloe : i do n't need to prove to you that holly belongs with me . deimos : [ laughing ] oh , my -- chloe : you do n't care about anyone or anything but yourself . i will never forgive you for what you 've done , and i will do everything in my power to make sure that you go back to prison where you belong . deimos : well , it 's nice to see that you have goals . but that is not gon na happen . john : all right , justin 's on his way . i 'm gon na go wait in brady 's room . marlena : no , no , john . john , do n't . do n't . you 're too upset . that wo n't be good for brady . [ crying ] i know , i know , i know . i 've got you . why do n't we , uh -- why do n't we sit in the waiting room , and -- and we 'll just ... we 'll wait for justin , and we 'll see what -- what brady had to say , and -- and what he wants . john : yeah . because this ... is giving up , and brady does n't give up . marlena : i know that . but i think he 's made it very clear that he does n't want to be kept alive with artificial help . john : but , doc , i would n't be able to live with myself if i did n't do everything in my power to keep him alive . there 's got to be hope . there 's got to be hope . what happens if another heart becomes available ? valerie : john , i -- i 've been working on just that . and i still have a few more calls to make , but i 've got to be honest with you , the likelihood of that is almost nonexistent . what we need now is -- is a miracle . eric : jenn , please . nicole : jennifer . i did n't know that eric was gon na call you , okay ? and you ca n't drag her into this . you ca n't ask her , of all people , to help me after everything i 've done to her . jennifer , i 'm sorry , but can you just -- please wait till after i see brady to tell anyone i was here ? jennifer : i think i remember the two of us putting our past behind us . listen , i know that there are no secret exits or entrances to the hospital , so i 'm not sure what i could tell you that would help . eric : i just thought that -- jennifer : this is the thing . i need to be with you . i need to -- i -- i need to go with you , because you need someone that knows shifts and schedules and that can keep a close eye and -- and just tell you when the coast is clear . eric : jenn , you -- jennifer : you know ? eric : would you do that ? jennifer : yes , i would do that , because i love brady . and i 'm a mom , and i have two kids that i would die for , and i know what holly means to you . and i know the risk that you are taking to see brady . so you got nicole here . do you have a way to get her out of here again ? eric : yeah , i have a plane on standby . jennifer : okay , so all i need to do is get the two of you in and out of the hospital without anyone ever knowing you were there . eric : wait , you 're not going with us . this is not -- i 'm not getting you into trouble . jennifer : are you kidding me ? my grandmother broke your dad out of jail , and she skated on it . eric : [ laughs ] there 's a reason why i liked you . nicole : jennifer ? thank you . jennifer : do n't thank me now . we got to go . we -- we got to get going . come on . nicole : okay . [ dramatic music ] justin : the nurse said you were in here . john : what the hell were you thinking , justin ? marlena : john . john . john : how could you let him sign something like that ? marlena : john , do n't . do n't -- john : what are you doing ? justin : john , john , john , john , i -- i -- i talked to brady . i really talked to brady . i played the devil 's advocate . i made sure that he thought about this from every possible angle . i did . and he had . i swear he had . marlena : we know you did . justin : this was not a quick decision on his part . i mean , we spent a great deal of time going over the details of exactly what he wanted . john , i have four sons of my own . i took this very seriously . marlena : go on . justin : i urged him to appoint an agent , and i suggested you , of course . and if you were n't here , victor , or marlena . eric . i even offered to do it myself . i said , pick someone to carry out your wishes . he said no . he was adamant . marlena : i 'm sure he did n't want to burden anybody . justin : john ? do you want me to go on ? [ exhales slowly ] he was very clear . he said if he stopped being able to breathe on his own , he did not want to be kept alive through artificial means . and two ... he did n't want anyone to revive him . he did n't want to be a burden . he knew death was most likely inevitable , and he did n't want this to be a long , drawn - out nightmare . john ... john , signing that paper was an act of love . he loved you very much . john : loves . he loves us very much . that 's present tense . justin : yes . yes . he made me write it all down , and i did , and i delivered it to the hospital this morning to make sure the staff was aware when they changed shifts . john , you should be so proud of your son . he is an amazing man . john : [ sniffles ] i need to go see him . marlena : i 'll come with you . john : no , no , no , sweetheart . it 's okay . i need to see him alone . marlena : okay .

[ scene_break ] jerry : you know , it 's rather elegant how you put me on a collision course with jason . was it part of the real plan , or -- or did you want jason and i to cancel each other out so you could be free and clear ? claudia : if you find michael and kristina , bring them home , and they better not be hurt . jerry : oh , you know what ? i ca n't vouch for anyone 's safety . you 'll just have to deal with the consequences , on -- on so many levels . [ door opens ] johnny : was that jerry jacks ? you answer me . huh ? you sic that psychopath on michael and kristina ? huh ? ! you put that kid in a coma , and you have been messing with his head from the moment he woke up , and now you 're gon na send jerry jacks after him ? you are one crazy bitch , and you deserve whatever you got coming to you . [ scene_break ] sam : those are the only internet cafes you can find ? are you sure ? spinelli : i -- i will keep searching , but -- my -- my thoughts seem determined to wander . i mean , surely the proud patriarch , once he gets over that initial dismay , he will acknowledge that my love for maximista is sincere . sam : well , sometimes sincere love is not enough , no matter how true it is . spinelli : perhaps fair samantha is projecting her own romantic heartbreak and past upon my current situation ? sam : uh , uh , i guess it 's ... possible . spinelli : well , you see , the path to maximista 's heart was -- was twisting and perilous , but it 's taught me to never abandon hope , because when all seemed lost , maximista and the jackal re - found their love , and now it -- now it burns brighter than ever . sam : [ laughs ] well , come on , let it burn . enjoy it . why get married , spinelli ? spinelli : because marriage vows would seal our love and keep it safe forever . sam : [ sighs ] i 'm sorry . i do n't -- i do n't mean to throw cold water here , but sometimes , you know , no matter how badly you want something , it just does n't last , whether ... you 're married or not . spinelli : even i can discern that fair samantha is referring to her past with stone cold . you know , you 'd be wise to consider the concept of forgiveness . it 's the tender sun that allows any relationship to heal and grow and may cause true love to awaken and bloom once more . [ scene_break ] dominic : just the shock , you know ? i mean , my mom brought me up all on her own . she 's this great lady . i do n't want to see her getting hurt . sonny : well , i can understand that . but , you know , i 've never had to deal with my mom going out with a younger man , but i did have to live with the son of a bitch she married . dominic : oh , mike -- mike was n't around ? sonny : well , you know what ? he was around , here and there . he 'd come and go . but my mother could n't depend on him . but she did the best she could to give me a good home . and your mother did well in bringing you up alone . but you know what ? if , uh ... if this guy is not a good person , he can be encouraged to end the relationship . dominic : thanks . i think he 's a stand - up guy . it 's my mom -- i think she 's losing her flippin ' mind .

[ cell phone rings ] stitch : excuse me . i need to take this . hey . what 's up ? chelsea : why all the questions about victoria ? billy : remember when i told you that something was off with her ? chelsea : yeah . billy : well , i saw her again tonight , and she was acting just as cagey . there 's no doubt in my mind now . something 's going on . stitch : how severe are the cramps ? victoria : they 're very minor . you know , more like twinges . i 'm sorry . i 'm probably making a big deal out of nothing right now . stitch : it 's good you called . you did the right thing . victoria : i 'm just -- i 'm really scared , ben . it 's after hours for my o.b . , and ... i just did n't know who else to call . stitch : victoria , it 's fine . okay , just -- i 'll be right there . just hold tight . chelsea : is victoria all right ? lily : well , now that you and jack are seeing each other , maybe you can use your influence on him . kelly : wait . what ? ! lily : yeah . i mean , you can get him to force my dad to come to his senses . kelly : lily , i do n't think -- lily : kelly , look , i already told you all about hilary and the horrible things that she has done . so please , just help me protect my father from her . kelly : how ? lily : he 'll listen to jack . they 've been friends forever . i mean , maybe he can get him -- get through to him where i ca n't . i mean , please , kelly . i 'm desperate . please . kelly : i see that , okay ? and i sympathize , but ... i do n't think that it 's my place . lily : i mean , you and i are friends , right ? kelly : of course we are , okay ? but i also work for you , which i hope would not enter into this . lily : no . of course not . i mean , i 'm not that desperate . kelly : okay , good . lily : but to say that it 's not your place when i thought that you and i were getting close -- i just -- kelly : oh , we are . we 're -- you 're my friend , okay ? but i just -- jack and i -- we 're new . i mean , we just started to date . lily : okay , yeah , i get it . you do n't want to mess things up with him . i - i understand . kelly : thank you . thank you for understanding . jack : from the look on lily 's face , i take it you just told her about the movie we saw -- uh , correction -- the nightmare we just walked out of . kelly : [ chuckles ] lily : well , i 'm dealing with my own nightmare named hilary . jack , i understand that you gave her a job , but i 'm sure that you can see that even she and my dad are just -- look , it 's a disaster waiting to happen . we have to help get him out of this before he winds up devastated . lily : that is not the way i wanted to tell my boss that we were involved . neil : i hear you . it was less than ideal . once lily said what she said , i had to explain . hilary : [ sighs ] well , how did jack take the news ? neil : well ... it was strange , actually . hilary : what do you mean ? neil : you know , he did n't ha any objections when it comes to legal or work grounds . hilary : yeah , well , why would he ? yes , we both work at jabot . you 're higher up in the company than i am , but you 're not my supervisor . you 'd never be able to use your position to further my career or tank it . neil : exactly . but any interactions you have with the fashion division is on jack 's behalf . [ sighs ] hilary : so , um ... what was so strange about his reaction ? neil : i do n't know . i ca n't quite put my finger on it . it 's just a -- it 's a feeling a had . you know , jack and i -- we 've been friends a lot of years , and he was just kind of -- i do n't know . he was formal , you know ? reserved . hilary : i think i know why . neil : yeah ? you do ? hilary : it 's because i kissed him . chelsea : is victoria all right or not ? billy : yeah , i 'd like to know the answer to that , too . stitch : you know , i 'm not sure what you think you overheard . chelsea : i know what i overheard . stitch : then you misinterpreted it . okay , victoria called and asked me to come by . she 's not feeling well . i 'm a doctor . that 's all . look , i did n't want to seem like a jerk and rub it in your face , so i came out here to take the call . i told her to hold tight , i 'd be right there . that 's what chelsea heard . right ? chelsea : right . stitch : now , if you 'll excuse me , i think i 've answered enough questions about victoria for one day . chelsea : right . oopsies . [ chuckles ] sorry i overreacted . i - i just thought -- i thought something was wrong . billy : you seemed pretty intense over my wife , chelsea , given the fact that she 's not one of your best friends . what is it , hmm ? do you know something that you 're not telling me ? chelsea : i was trying to help you , billy . billy : help me with what ? chelsea : well , it 's not like stitch is gon na tell you anything about victoria . i thought i could find out something . but ... i hit a dead end . billy : well , thank you for trying . but i doubt that stitch is the type of guy that opens up to anybody . chelsea : why ? because he 's the strong and silent type ? billy : 'cause he has no history . chelsea : what does that mean ? billy : it means that most people leave a fairly good - sized footprint online . but not this guy . no . ever since , you know , his stint in the army , it 's like he did n't exist . so , i think he has hidden something in his past that he 's worked very hard to cover up . chelsea : that 's it ? that 's your evidence ? you ca n't find anything about the guy on the internet , so suddenly , he 's a menace ? billy : it 's a suspicion , chelsea . chelsea : what about me ? if you look me up , you probably ca n't find anything . it does n't mean i 'm dangerous . billy : [ chuckles ] that is a terrible comparison . chelsea : why ? billy : well , because , no offense , but if i find out that dr . disappearing act has a personal history like you , i will make sure that he never steps anywhere near victoria or johnny . chelsea : point taken . but i still think you 're wrong . i 've known a lot of shady guys in my past , and stitch does n't seem like one of them . i do n't think he 's hiding anything . maybe he 's just ... private . billy : maybe . but as long as victoria is involved with him , i 'm going to keep digging . victoria : i feel like my heart is racing . stitch : your pulse is slightly elevated , which , by the way , is normal in a pregnant woman , as well as someone who 's just had a scare . victoria : well , i am trying really hard not to panic right now . stitch : how many cramps were there ? victoria : two . like i said on the phone , they were mild and far apart . but , still , you know ... ? stitch : i know . all right . deep breath in . victoria : [ inhales deeply ] stitch : and out . victoria : [ exhales ] stitch : feel better ? victoria : yeah . you know , i 've been a nervous wreck since the first one hit . stitch : that 's why it 's important to breathe in and stay as calm as possible . victoria : i will feel a lot calmer once i know that this is not me -- that i 'm not having , you know ... stitch : okay , okay . all right . breathe , breathe . listen to me . i honestly do n't believe it 's anything serious , but we should probably get you checked out . is there someone who can stay with johnny ? victoria : yeah . i called hannah just in case . stitch : good . as soon as she gets here , i 'll get you to memorial and make sure you get seen right away . victoria : i ca n't lose this baby , okay ? promise me that i wo n't . stitch : this is what i 'll promise you -- i am not gon na leave your side . i 'm gon na be right here for as long as you need me . victoria : [ sighs ] jack : at the risk of stating the obvious , neil is a big boy . if this is the mistake you seem to think it is -- lily : no , no . a mistake is when you forget to put a stamp on a letter . hilary tried to undermine my dad 's sobriety . if you do n't believe me , ask him about it . jack : i am aware of the incident to which you refer , and i understand you being upset and feeling a duty to protect him . lily , people learn from their own experience , not from the advice of others , no matter how well - meaning . kelly : but if you ever want to talk , lily , i am here , okay ? just not tonight . devon : what 's so special about tonight , guys ? jack : tonight , i promised kelly i would take her to a romantic dinner . i think we both may have lost our appetites . lily : oh , i 'm sorry . jack : in the program , there is a saying . `` it is always easier to take inventory of someone else 's life . `` good night . devon : have a good one . well , you know how to clear a room . lily : shut up . i 'm thinking . devon : think over here .

[ cell phone rings ] stitch : excuse me . i need to take this . hey . what 's up ? chelsea : why all the questions about victoria ? billy : remember when i told you that something was off with her ? chelsea : yeah . billy : well , i saw her again tonight , and she was acting just as cagey . there 's no doubt in my mind now . something 's going on . stitch : how severe are the cramps ? victoria : they 're very minor . you know , more like twinges . i 'm sorry . i 'm probably making a big deal out of nothing right now . stitch : it 's good you called . you did the right thing . victoria : i 'm just -- i 'm really scared , ben . it 's after hours for my o.b . , and ... i just did n't know who else to call . stitch : victoria , it 's fine . okay , just -- i 'll be right there . just hold tight . chelsea : is victoria all right ? lily : well , now that you and jack are seeing each other , maybe you can use your influence on him . kelly : wait . what ? ! lily : yeah . i mean , you can get him to force my dad to come to his senses . kelly : lily , i do n't think -- lily : kelly , look , i already told you all about hilary and the horrible things that she has done . so please , just help me protect my father from her . kelly : how ? lily : he 'll listen to jack . they 've been friends forever . i mean , maybe he can get him -- get through to him where i ca n't . i mean , please , kelly . i 'm desperate . please . kelly : i see that , okay ? and i sympathize , but ... i do n't think that it 's my place . lily : i mean , you and i are friends , right ? kelly : of course we are , okay ? but i also work for you , which i hope would not enter into this . lily : no . of course not . i mean , i 'm not that desperate . kelly : okay , good . lily : but to say that it 's not your place when i thought that you and i were getting close -- i just -- kelly : oh , we are . we 're -- you 're my friend , okay ? but i just -- jack and i -- we 're new . i mean , we just started to date . lily : okay , yeah , i get it . you do n't want to mess things up with him . i - i understand . kelly : thank you . thank you for understanding . jack : from the look on lily 's face , i take it you just told her about the movie we saw -- uh , correction -- the nightmare we just walked out of . kelly : [ chuckles ] lily : well , i 'm dealing with my own nightmare named hilary . jack , i understand that you gave her a job , but i 'm sure that you can see that even she and my dad are just -- look , it 's a disaster waiting to happen . we have to help get him out of this before he winds up devastated . lily : that is not the way i wanted to tell my boss that we were involved . neil : i hear you . it was less than ideal . once lily said what she said , i had to explain . hilary : [ sighs ] well , how did jack take the news ? neil : well ... it was strange , actually . hilary : what do you mean ? neil : you know , he did n't ha any objections when it comes to legal or work grounds . hilary : yeah , well , why would he ? yes , we both work at jabot . you 're higher up in the company than i am , but you 're not my supervisor . you 'd never be able to use your position to further my career or tank it . neil : exactly . but any interactions you have with the fashion division is on jack 's behalf . [ sighs ] hilary : so , um ... what was so strange about his reaction ? neil : i do n't know . i ca n't quite put my finger on it . it 's just a -- it 's a feeling a had . you know , jack and i -- we 've been friends a lot of years , and he was just kind of -- i do n't know . he was formal , you know ? reserved . hilary : i think i know why . neil : yeah ? you do ? hilary : it 's because i kissed him . chelsea : is victoria all right or not ? billy : yeah , i 'd like to know the answer to that , too . stitch : you know , i 'm not sure what you think you overheard . chelsea : i know what i overheard . stitch : then you misinterpreted it . okay , victoria called and asked me to come by . she 's not feeling well . i 'm a doctor . that 's all . look , i did n't want to seem like a jerk and rub it in your face , so i came out here to take the call . i told her to hold tight , i 'd be right there . that 's what chelsea heard . right ? chelsea : right . stitch : now , if you 'll excuse me , i think i 've answered enough questions about victoria for one day . chelsea : right . oopsies . [ chuckles ] sorry i overreacted . i - i just thought -- i thought something was wrong . billy : you seemed pretty intense over my wife , chelsea , given the fact that she 's not one of your best friends . what is it , hmm ? do you know something that you 're not telling me ? chelsea : i was trying to help you , billy . billy : help me with what ? chelsea : well , it 's not like stitch is gon na tell you anything about victoria . i thought i could find out something . but ... i hit a dead end . billy : well , thank you for trying . but i doubt that stitch is the type of guy that opens up to anybody . chelsea : why ? because he 's the strong and silent type ? billy : 'cause he has no history . chelsea : what does that mean ? billy : it means that most people leave a fairly good - sized footprint online . but not this guy . no . ever since , you know , his stint in the army , it 's like he did n't exist . so , i think he has hidden something in his past that he 's worked very hard to cover up . chelsea : that 's it ? that 's your evidence ? you ca n't find anything about the guy on the internet , so suddenly , he 's a menace ? billy : it 's a suspicion , chelsea . chelsea : what about me ? if you look me up , you probably ca n't find anything . it does n't mean i 'm dangerous . billy : [ chuckles ] that is a terrible comparison . chelsea : why ? billy : well , because , no offense , but if i find out that dr . disappearing act has a personal history like you , i will make sure that he never steps anywhere near victoria or johnny . chelsea : point taken . but i still think you 're wrong . i 've known a lot of shady guys in my past , and stitch does n't seem like one of them . i do n't think he 's hiding anything . maybe he 's just ... private . billy : maybe . but as long as victoria is involved with him , i 'm going to keep digging . victoria : i feel like my heart is racing . stitch : your pulse is slightly elevated , which , by the way , is normal in a pregnant woman , as well as someone who 's just had a scare . victoria : well , i am trying really hard not to panic right now . stitch : how many cramps were there ? victoria : two . like i said on the phone , they were mild and far apart . but , still , you know ... ? stitch : i know . all right . deep breath in . victoria : [ inhales deeply ] stitch : and out . victoria : [ exhales ] stitch : feel better ? victoria : yeah . you know , i 've been a nervous wreck since the first one hit . stitch : that 's why it 's important to breathe in and stay as calm as possible . victoria : i will feel a lot calmer once i know that this is not me -- that i 'm not having , you know ... stitch : okay , okay . all right . breathe , breathe . listen to me . i honestly do n't believe it 's anything serious , but we should probably get you checked out . is there someone who can stay with johnny ? victoria : yeah . i called hannah just in case . stitch : good . as soon as she gets here , i 'll get you to memorial and make sure you get seen right away . victoria : i ca n't lose this baby , okay ? promise me that i wo n't . stitch : this is what i 'll promise you -- i am not gon na leave your side . i 'm gon na be right here for as long as you need me . victoria : [ sighs ] jack : at the risk of stating the obvious , neil is a big boy . if this is the mistake you seem to think it is -- lily : no , no . a mistake is when you forget to put a stamp on a letter . hilary tried to undermine my dad 's sobriety . if you do n't believe me , ask him about it . jack : i am aware of the incident to which you refer , and i understand you being upset and feeling a duty to protect him . lily , people learn from their own experience , not from the advice of others , no matter how well - meaning . kelly : but if you ever want to talk , lily , i am here , okay ? just not tonight . devon : what 's so special about tonight , guys ? jack : tonight , i promised kelly i would take her to a romantic dinner . i think we both may have lost our appetites . lily : oh , i 'm sorry . jack : in the program , there is a saying . `` it is always easier to take inventory of someone else 's life . `` good night . devon : have a good one . well , you know how to clear a room . lily : shut up . i 'm thinking . devon : think over here .

[ chuckles ] it is not healthy for us to be in each other 's faces all of the time . but if i could move out tonight , gosh , i would . neil : i know a place that you can move in right away . lily : hilary . you 're moving out ! thank god . hilary : yep , it 's your lucky night . and mine . devon : wait . you 're really leaving ? hilary : i think it 's best for everyone involved . lily : i agree with you . i 'll be happy to ship the rest of your things to wherever you 're going so you can never show your face here again . so , where to ? wait . you 're moving in together ? ! devon : no ! no , you 're not . kelly : wait a minute . i got one . `` love means never having to say you 're sorry . `` jack : [ groans ] kelly : [ laughs ] jack : let 's see . uh ...

[ scene_break ] dusty : why do you need to be careful with me ? jennifer : because i told you that i needed my space , and now you start making up reasons for me to be suspicious of paul just so that we can see each other ? dusty : i called you because i heard will yelling at paul about paying gwen 's legal fees . jennifer : i know about the payoff . all right ? paul told me everything , what he did and why . dusty : oh , he did ? i did n't know that . what 's his excuse ? jennifer : he wanted gwen and the baby to get out of town and as far away from me as possible . dusty : why ? jennifer : because i was delusional . i thought gwen 's baby was mine , remember ? and he saw how much that was tearing me apart . he was just trying to protect me . dusty : so how does bribing gwen to disappear accomplish anything , unless he 's got something to hide ? [ jennifer sighs ] jennifer : look , it was n't just about me , okay ? he wanted gwen and the baby gone because gwen 's son reminded him of rosanna . dusty : listen to what you 're saying . that 's pathetic . jennifer : why are you doing this ? why are you trying to turn me against my own brother ? dusty : i 'm not . i want you to be careful . that 's all . paul does what he does 'cause there 's always something in it for him . jennifer : this is n't about paul . it 's about you . i told you that i did n't want to see you anymore , and you do n't like that . so now you 're just -- what , you 're drumming up trouble in hopes that i 'll rely on you again for protection ? well , it 's not gon na work , all right ? leave me alone .

[ soft music ] jennifer : honey , once you were off all of those drugs that they were giving you , i just believe that you could see clearly , and you realized that this is where you belong . you belong here with your family , with your husband and your son . abigail : i mean , it 's not like that did n't cross my mind . jennifer : yeah . abigail : i mean , the second that i got those drugs out of my system that they put me on in shady hills and i was put on antidepressants the way i should have been , things cleared up right away . and yeah , mom , you 're right . i did want my old life back , but i -- jennifer : but what ? no , baby . there is nothing stopping you . do you have any idea how happy your brother would be to see you ? and your husband , my god . your husband was so devastated , honey . he was drinking so much , i almost had to take him to court over thomas . can you even imagine how ecstatic he would be to know that you 're alive ? not to mention that you 're perfectly well . abigail : i 'm still kind of fragile , mom , and , i mean , the thing is , while i was gone , life moved on without me , and i ... i ca n't just come barging back in here expecting and demanding that everything goes back to the way it was because that 's not fair . and especially since chad is ... jennifer : chad is what ? abigail : he moved on , mom . he 's ... he 's with gabi now . gabi : [ clears throat ] chad : so thanks for coming over . gabi : yeah , no problem . i was actually gon na call you when you were texting me 'cause i wanted to tell you something . chad : yeah , you know , i just got to tell you something important . gabi : oh , yeah , then go ahead , you talk . chad : no , you know what ? you go ahead . ladies first . gabi : no , mine can wait . it 's okay . chad : no , seriously . you go ahead . gabi : okay , well , i just want to say i want to quit . chad : i got to let you go . both : what did you just say ? kayla : joey , what 's going on with you ? joey : [ sighs ] steve : joe , tell your mom . joey : [ exhales ] i 'm gon na be a father . justin : we have a lifetime of memories together . lucas : yeah , and half of those memories have been painful as hell for her . how many times have you and adrienne been divorced ? three or four ? i know you think i ca n't hang with the kiriakis bank account . we 're not in greece right now . i do n't have a guitar in my hand making some sappy serenade , and we 're not taking a yacht trip later at all . but you know what ? none of that matters to adrienne anymore because she 's changed . we have more in common than you think . we enjoy spending time together . quiet time together . that 's what matters to us . you think you can just scream in here on your white horse and change everything at the last minute ? what 's the matter with you , man ? where you been ? where were you when adrienne had her cancer scare ? where were you when your son was stabbed ? i 'll tell you where i was . i was by her side , holding her hand , helping her through the whole thing while you were in dubai hitting the sheets with your ever - loving elsa . it does n't matter what we do . we spend great time together . we laugh . we joke . we spend all night just talking . we have more in common than you might want to admit , justin . philip : looks like you 're gon na lose that bet after all . my money , please ? lucas : you know , adrienne told me she just ca n't be herself around you . did you know that ? i mean , how could she be ? justin : you said that ? lucas : that 's the truth . you spent your whole life trying to be the big shot . trying to be mr. kiriakis with all the money . but you know what ? none of that matters to her anymore . and that 's not the only reason why she 's ready to move on . she knows i 'll never cheat on her . i 'll never disrespect her like that . i 'll treat her the way she deserves to be treated . so you know what ? we 're done with you right now . you can leave . adrienne , are you ready ? are you ready to get this wedding back on track ?

[ exhales ] i do n't know why i 'm so cynical . probably just my life experiences . anyway , gabrielle is on the rebound , as are you . listen , it 's not for me to tell you how to feel and how to behave , but i think , right now , you should be concentrating on thomas and rebuilding your business . chad : gabi 's a part of that business , so ... andre : oh ... maybe she should n't be . jennifer : i still do n't understand why you do n't want people to know that you 're back . they would be so thrilled , honey . abigail : no , i ca n't do it . jennifer : really , they would just not even -- please do n't tell me that you 're thinking about leaving again . abigail : it may be the only real option . jennifer : no . no , i will not let you do that . i will not let you leave again . i understand why you left before , but , honey , you 're well now , and people want to know that we did n't really lose you . abigail : mom , i have to be realistic . i mean , i ca n't just hide in the attic forever . come on . i mean ... and for me to just come out and tell people -- look . it 's really hard for me to have to say this to you ... but when i escaped from shady hills , mom ... i never intended to come back here . ever . i mean , crazy or not crazy or whatever it was , i was n't about to live the rest of my life locked in some mental institution . jennifer : you 're not crazy . please do n't say that , honey . abigail : you know , and i also -- i was n't gon na let chad deal with a wife who lives in a psych ward . coming for sad sunday visits . and thomas ? having thomas looking at me like i 'm some once - a - week stranger ? i mean , i ca n't even imagine . i mean , i remember how hard it was for you when grandma laura was institutionalized . jennifer : it 's not like that nowadays . abigail : maybe . okay , maybe you 're right , but all that i can remember is laying in a bed and hearing a bunch of doctors say about me that i -- say that i 'm a danger . i was a danger to myself , a danger to others . what in the world -- what if i had hurt thomas ? jennifer : no , that never would have happened . abigail : i do n't know , mom . i do n't . i mean , the drugs that they had me on ... i 'm fine now , but still . i never would have come back here . i never would have dared to come to salem if i had n't heard that jj 'd been shot . jennifer : which is so strange to me . how did you even hear about that ? abigail : i mean , there 's -- there are ways of keeping tabs on anything , anywhere . newspapers are all online now , so ...

[ voice breaking ] it 's far too dangerous a procedure . anything could happen in the o.r . cane : i said to you , `` whatever you want , `` and i meant it . so , if you want me to run chancellor , i will do that for you , okay ? kay : thank you . cane : all right , but it better not come to that , because if jill has nowhere to aim her fire , she 's gon na unload all over the world . kay : [ chuckles ] cane : [ chuckling ] okay ? kay : oh , cane , you make me smile . you 're a good man . you really are a good man . cane : please . kay : i 'm so -- no , i am ... i 'm so glad that you 've become part of my life . cane : do n't do this . do n't talk like this . kay : no , i get to say this . you have given me such peace of mind . cane : ohh . kay : no , no , no , no , no . and i am ever so grateful . cane : [ smooches ] [ scene_break ] lily : okay , everybody just calm down . you 're all expecting chelsea to give some answer , and there 's no reason to put her on the spot . summer : okay , look -- i did n't come to make your life harder . i was trying to leave before you got here . tyler : if there 's some history i do n't know about , i mean , we 're all professional . we can deal . summer : yeah , actually , i 'm just an intern , and i was leaving . chelsea : wait . come here .

paul : what the hell is this ? kevin : spring grove bus station . same locker dylan got an anonymous tip about . except this footage is less than an hour old . paul : kevin ! kevin : paul , come on . this could be a huge break . paul : there are no breaks . the case is closed . i told you that . adam pled guilty . kevin : this is about more than clearing adam . it could prove that chloe is innocent , too . chloe : [ sighs ] i 'm so sorry . that 's why i came here . just to tell you that . i know they 're just words . it 's actions that count . [ sighs ] but i came up short . [ crying ] i 'm so sorry i 've failed you . [ sobs ] bethany : really ? i do n't get an answer ? victor : i have no idea who you are or what you 're talking about . bethany : please . we both know better than that . okay ? you stuffed a cool million into this bag , you sent me to a bus - station locker to pick it up , along with a note saying to take the money and leave town . and i just want to know why . i think i deserve that much . victor : look , i 'm not in the habit of handing out that kind of cash to perfect strangers , which you are to me . so i suggest you show yourself out . bethany : i know it was you . if i tell you how i know it was you , can we stop playing games ? there was a signed receipt along with the key in a check folder . and it took me a while to put a face with the name , but once i did , i realized he is a regular at the gcac . and almost every time i see him , he is sitting with the very famous victor newman . two plus two equals four . you wanted me to find that money . victor : if someone gave you that kind of money , you do n't look the gift horse in the mouth . bethany : well , we could do this all day . victor : yes . bethany : but you need me gone , and that 's not happening until i get some answers . victor : kindly close the door . victor : by you disappearing , my son will get out of prison . billy : i do n't understand . okay , you had an opportunity to sail around the world with somebody that you loved , and you did n't take it because of me ? victoria : i do n't understand why that 's so surprising . we have kids that we 're both devoted to . billy : okay , so that makes sense . you did n't want to leave them behind . victoria : actually , travis wanted me to bring them along . yeah . he said it would be the trip of a lifetime . he wanted me to work out something with you so that you would be okay with it . but i realized that you could n't be separated from them any more than i could . billy : yeah , i did n't know about this . about any of it . victoria : i realized that it was wrong to even ask , so i did n't . we 're bonded by our children , billy . so it looks like you 're stuck with me . jack : hey , hey . where are you off to ? i thought we had a dinner date ? phyllis : yes . we do . i - i 'm sorry , but , uh ... [ sighs ] i am so swamped . i need to get back to work . you 'll forgive me ? jack : you 're really that busy ? phyllis : yes , i am crazy busy . i have the east coast president bank coming to see me to talk about pass key , and then we have the new ad agency who needs -- jack : will you do me a favor ? phyllis : sure . what ? jack : stop lying to me . please . phyllis : lying to you ? jack : i called summer and got an earful about how her mother and victor of all people were working to derail her wedding . this after you promised me you would not give over to your worst instincts . this after you looked me in the eye and told me you agreed summer deserved to make her own choices . phyllis : okay , fine . i am working with victor . to try and stop this wedding . and i 'm not gon na apologize for it . because difficult as it has been to be in the same room as that bastard , it beats the alternative -- watching my daughter rush into another disastrous marriage . do you know luca is even more dangerous than austin ever dreamed of being ? that is saying something . jack : okay , look -- phyllis : no , you look . i am her mother . and you can get angry , you can disapprove , you can give me your biggest lecture , but at the end of the day , this is my call . you have no say here . none . jack : you have no right to talk to me that way about summer . unless you 're trying to re - write history here . billy : you 're right about the bonding thing . kids do that . and if i ever forget , i have my mother to remind us . victoria : yeah , well , somehow i do n't think that jill needs to explain to either one of us what 's really important in life . billy : hear , hear . so , why are n't the kids learning the difference between port and starboard and all those other boaty words ? victoria : [ sighs ] oh , yeah , well ... i do n't know . i saw you with them at crimson lights . you and johnny and katherine . and you looked really happy . i have n't seen you look happy in a long time . i did n't really want to wreck that by ... taking them away on a trip indefinitely . billy : so you decided it was n't gon na work on your own . victoria : well , why would i do that if i knew it would hurt you ? i saw your face , and i had my answer . billy : so , let me guess how this went -- you go back to the guy that you love and tell him that you 're not gon na go on the trip , and he gets on his boat and sails away . victoria : yeah , pretty much . billy : so , the obvious question is , how much do you blame me for missing out ? dylan : [ sighs ] mariah : hey . what are you doing ? dylan : uh , well , i 'm gon na sleep down here tonight . mariah : sharon snoring too loud or what ? sharon : dylan and i had a fight . mariah : well , that 's stupid . fix it . dylan : yeah , it 's not that simple , mariah . mariah : yes , it is . you do n't just sleep on the couch because you and your wife had a disagreement . unless you 're a loser . paul : i 've got dylan 's badge and gun locked in my desk because he defied a direct order . i would be more than happy to suspend you , too . the rules around here apply to everyone . kevin : paul , if you would just hear me out . please . dylan thinks adam was framed . that 's why he would n't stop investigating . i - i was fine with giving up until chloe was implicated , and that 's when i knew that i had to see this through . and i 'm telling you right now , she was not involved , if for no other reason because of how much she despises victor . but beyond that , paul , she 's changed . paul : adam took a plea . it 's done . it 's over . kevin : okay , i know why you made the decision you made . at the time , there was no other evidence . but this video is a game changer . please . please just watch it . please ? after the last time , i had the cameras repositioned to catch this angle . a woman , who is definitely not chloe , comes in , looks around , makes sure she 's not being watched , goes to the exact same locker dylan checked out last week . he had to use a master key to get in . she has her own key . okay ? she opens the locker and looky there . a bag . what 's inside ? cash . big - time payoff cash . and she 's not wearing gloves , meaning her fingerprints are all over that locker . whew ! paul : and you just happened to stumble upon this ? kevin : no , i 've been keeping a lookout trying to prove that chloe is innocent . paul : right . using department equipment and department time ? kevin : no , using my laptop on my time . paul , closing a case when there is no evidence is absolutely justifiable , but keeping it closed when something like this pops up , well , that 's wrong . and if you ignore this , it 's negligent . paul : all right . i will send a man to spring grove and gather evidence . kevin : a man , huh ? uh , i bet dylan 's available , if you want to give him a call . paul : you know , kevin , last time i checked , i 'm still in charge here . i will make those decisions . kevin : copy . bethany : when you say your son , do you mean adam ? because i read about his case . he was convicted of murder . victor : he took a deal . the evidence was stacked against him . but he 's innocent . bethany : you need someone to take the fall for the murder so your son can go free , and that person is me . victor : but do n't you worry about a thing , okay ? you wo n't be arrested . you wo n't go to prison . as long as you do what you 're told . bethany : you expect me to just walk around the rest of my life with that lie hanging over my head ? victor : none of that matters . just get the hell out of town and everything will be fine . everyone wins . mariah : so , let me get this straight . you would n't stop trying to prove that victor framed adam even after paul suspended you . and you got all wifey and over - protective because you were afraid that victor was gon na retaliate . dylan : yeah , that 's , uh -- that 's about it . sharon : you know , after hearing mariah 's unique take on it , i realize that i owe you an apology . i was wrong . i see that now . dylan , i 'm always gon na worry . i ca n't help that . but your job is your job , and it 's not my place to stand in your way . if you quit now out of fear , you would n't be the man i love . dylan : thank you . i 'm -- i 'm sorry . i should n't have gotten so bent out of shape . sharon : forgive me ? mariah : [ clapping ] see ? that 's what i 'm talking about . now , tell me about this case . is there any news ? i mean , if you 're still pursuing it , you must have id 'd this mystery woman . [ knock on door ] sharon : who could that be at this hour ? dylan : i 'll get it . kevin : oh , good . you 're still up . you 're all up . dylan : kevin , what 's -- what 's going on ? kevin : well , i am positive that the woman victor was meeting with to frame adam could not have been chloe . mariah : you suspected chloe ? oh , my god . that makes so much sense . bethany : do you know how crazy that sounds ? what makes you think i would go along with that ? victor : i can think of some reasons . bethany : such as ? victor : well , as far as i know , you live a rather humdrum life . you pour drinks at a bar . no really rosy future ahead of you . no prospects . you take that money , you have a fresh start . as long as you get out of town . bethany : i thought billy was arrogant . you do n't know a thing about me . victor : listen , let 's cut the bull . you ca n't afford to pass up a million bucks , can you ? bethany : sure i can . what i ca n't afford to turn down is $ 3 million . victor : mm . you play the game well . bethany : is that a yes ? victor : 3 million bucks it is . that concludes our business deal . you got that ? chloe : [ scoffs ] what i did , i ... [ sighs ] i did it for you . my sweet little girl . but i also did it for myself , too . knowing adam would pay for taking your life away . i would some -- somehow finally find some peace . but then things did n't work out the way i 'd hoped , and the walls started closing in , and ... [ sighs ] [ sniffles ] victor made me see that i had to give up on punishing adam , or i would be the one to go jail , and then bella would be left without a mother . and that can never , ever happen . [ cries ] i promised you justice . i promised you , and now i have to break that promise . [ sobs ] and somehow , some way , i ... i have to find a way to live with that . [ sighs ] jack : in case you 've forgotten , i was a parent to summer , too . when you were in a coma . when i thought i was her father . i had to step up , and gladly did . i love her , too , phyllis . i also respect her enough to allow her to make her own choices . phyllis : okay , so where do you draw the line ? if she wants to drive off the side of a cliff ... jack : oh , come on . do n't be ridiculous . phyllis : ... are you gon na try to help her ? no , i 'm being dead serious , because i 'm seeing a lot of similarities here . i mean , if she marries luca , it will be catastrophic . jack : so you 've told me . many times . phyllis : do you know what i find ironic ? you want to give summer all of this freedom to make a horrible mistake , and yet you want me to toe the line . you want to pull the reins on me when all i want to do is protect my daughter . you may not like being lied to , but i do n't like having to endure your constant lectures on how to act . jack : this is where we 're to now ? you 're having `` endure `` me ? phyllis : i love you with all of my heart . but , jack , we are not connecting . and you know that as well as i do . i - it 's like whenever i get passionate , you are making it your mission to try to stop me . and i - i just ... i do n't know . it 's like you think you know best . and that 's reminding me of somebody else i know who tries to protect his family where they all want to scream . jack : o - okay , phyllis -- phyllis : no . do you know what , i - i -- i hate lying to you . but you know what i hate more ? being treated like a wayward child instead of your wife . jack : [ sighs ] victoria : you know , after i turned down his offer , i came by your house that day . we painted walls with the kids . billy : that 's right . i - i do remember that . i felt like there was something going on with you , but i could n't quite put my finger on it . victoria : yeah , well ... you know , if i really felt like you were keeping me from something that i really wanted , [ sighs ] i would have never come by your place . but i 'm really glad that i did , because we got to spend some time with the kids together , and make some beautiful memories . billy : yeah . victoria : you ca n't plan memories like that . and that 's worth a lot to me . so , you can get this crazy idea out of your noggin that you were , um , holding me back from any happiness . billy : my noggin , eh ? victoria : yeah , your noggin . phyllis : sorry to interrupt . [ knocks ] billy : [ sighs ] uh , what are you doing here ? phyllis : i need to speak with victoria privately if that 's all right with you . victoria : yeah , sure . that 's fine . we can talk . billy : okay . i 'll see you in a bit . victoria : i 'll see you . i think i can save us both some time . i know that you 're working with my dad and nick to stop summer 's wedding . phyllis : yes . i should have been more up front before . victoria : well , i assume that you 're here to talk to me about the phone call with travis ? phyllis : nick filled me in . he told me that travis is refusing to come back and expose luca ? victoria : yeah . i 'm sorry , phyllis . i tried . phyllis : try harder . victoria : what ? phyllis : go to travis in person . kevin : you must not have heard me . i just said chloe was not the woman in the video . mariah : well , i know you do n't want her to be , but come on . who else has a stronger motive ? sharon : well , let 's -- let 's hear what kevin has to say . kevin : thank you , sharon . i had a feeling that that locker was gon na see some more action , right , so i arranged to have the security camera repositioned to a different angle . dylan : you 've been watching the place the whole time ? kevin : yes . and get this -- woman comes in acting very nervous . she has a key to the locker , right , the one that you went to check out before . opens it up , pulls out a big bag full of cash . mariah : seriously ? kevin : seriously . and i went through the video frame by frame , and there 's a couple of seconds where you could see her face . it 's profile , but still . there 's no way it 's chloe . then she grabs the money and hightails it out . dylan : i mean , so far , everything pointed to chloe , but ... i mean , i ca n't ignore this new lead . i 'm gon na have to tell paul , and he 's gon na rip my head off . i know it . kevin : paul knows . i just showed him the footage . mariah : and your head 's still on ? good job . kevin : thanks . he was n't happy , but he watched and finally agreed to send somebody out to spring grove to check it out . dylan : what do you mean he sent somebody there ? this is my case . i 'm the one who should follow up on this . kevin : that 's why i came to tell you . i thought , suspension or not , you needed to know . sharon : you should go , dylan . you have spent so much time trying to find the truth . you need to see this through to the end . what are you waiting for ? go . dylan : you 're the best . kevin : uh , paul 's not gon na like this . dylan : ca n't think about that right now . victor : you hold onto that . it 's all you 'll get . bethany : understood . i will be gone as soon as i 'm packed . victor : no , you buy a one - way ticket . go right to the airport . bethany : any advice on where i should relocate ? victor : yes . you got to some damn country that does n't have an extradition treaty with the u.s. and stay there . she 's on her way . you know what to do . chloe : i just passed a woman on the elevator . she the new patsy ? victor : that 's none of your business . chloe : figured you 'd say that . victor : come in . close the door . let me tell you this again . the less contact you have with me , the better . so stay the hell away from me . you 're not here to renege on our deal , are you ? chloe : i just came from delia 's memorial . i had to apologize for failing her . victor : how 'd you do that ? chloe : i promised her justice , and i did n't deliver . i had it in the palm of my hand . victor : you had reasons to drop the vendetta . chloe : yeah , i know . the fight needs to be over . and i need to give bella a full life . one that delia never got to have . you know ... delia would have loved to have been a big sister . [ exhales sharply ] she would have loved bella . victor : you know , if i may suggest something ... you can honor delia 's memory by being a good mother to her little sister , bella . chloe : yeah , i realized that on the side of the road . victor : okay . chloe : but then i realized something else , too . victor : and what was that ? paul : looks like we got several in - tact print on the handle of this locker . they should n't be too hard to lift . give me the fingerprint kit . i have to admit , there might be something to this . you got it ready ? br -- mariah : i do n't know why you 're so convinced it was n't chloe . two seconds of blurry security footage hardly erases all that motive . kevin : did i say the video was blurry ? mariah : it always is . right , sharon ? sharon : oooh . do n't look at me . i 'm staying out of this . kevin : chloe was 2,000 miles away while victor was meeting with this mystery woman . mariah : do you know that for a fact ? kevin : there are records , mariah , that place her in california at the time . mariah : oh , come on . like someone could n't have hacked the facility 's computer and changed the dates . which , by the way , would be something that you would point out if chloe was n't a suspect . i think it goes without saying that you 're hardly an objective person when it comes to your ex . kevin : i have watched that video again and again trying to figure out if it could be chloe . if it were her , do n't you think i would want to know ? yes , i miss her . yes , i want her back in my life . and i 'm confident that if i 'm patient that 's gon na happen . hey , i did not fabricate this footage to make chloe look innocent . it 's the real deal . mariah : so are your feelings for chloe , which makes you biased . kevin : enough . i do n't need a rehash on why you think i ought to give up on chloe . those flowers ... those are chloe 's favorites . and this arrangement is exactly the one i had sent to her office . so what 's it doing here ? victoria : so you want me to drop everything and fly down to mexico ? phyllis : physically drag travis back here if that 's what it takes , yes . victoria : my gosh . you are out of your mind . phyllis : yes , i am out of my mind . i am out of my mind with worry . you know what kind of person luca is . you know what kind of mistake summer is about to make . victoria : i 'm sorry , phyllis . there 's nothing i can do about it , all right ? phyllis : that is not true . this could be our last shot at opening her eyes , at showing her who luca really is . victoria : you do n't have to convince me that he 's a bad guy , all right ? i would n't have agreed to call him . as if that did any good . phyllis : victoria , i know that this is gon na be difficult , but we have to put summer first . victoria : okay , look . i already told billy that i was okay with letting travis go . that i made the decision to stay here while he left town , and that i was happy with that choice . phyllis : well , that is great . if you are over him , it 's gon na make things easier . victoria : yeah , it might , if i was being totally honest with billy . but the thing is , i really -- i was n't , okay ? jack : just get it in writing . bye . billy : oh , hey . hey . sorry . jack : are you ? billy : not sure how to take that . jack : [ sighs ] never mind . you know , nothing . billy : you okay , jack ? jack : oh , i wish i could say yes . billy : well , why ca n't you ? jack : oh , phyllis and i just got into it . yet again . it 's turning into a bad habit . billy : i 'd ask you what the problem is , but i 'm thinking it 's better i should n't intrude . jack : you already intruded . in a way , that 's what this fight was about . billy : how , exactly , did i intrude between you and phyllis ? jack : the last conversation we had , where you said i should n't clip phyllis ' wings . it was sound advice . billy : i thought so . jack : can we sit down ? anyway , i took your advice -- since , unlike me , you and she seem to be on the same wavelength . but right out of the gate , all the wrong buttons were pushed , and before i knew it , i was back to my old patterns . billy : criticize her choices ? jack : worse than that . phyllis said i was treating her like a child . and you know what ? she was right . i was in her face trying to get her to see things the way i did . and she walked , and now we 're farther apart than ever . could i have a club soda , please , and a single - malt scotch , neat . billy : thank you . you know what , i 'm gon na take back what i said earlier . why do n't you tell me what the fight is about ? jack : phyllis is bound and determined to come between summer and luca . so much so that she 's willing to team up with victor , if you can believe that . billy : i heard rumblings . jack : this deal is one where , whatever choice i make , it 's the wrong one . billy : all right , why do n't you start with giving me a `` for instance `` ? jack : okay . for instance , i told phyllis it was a mistake to go after luca . it could only end badly . she looked me in the eye , she agreed , she said she understood , and then she went ahead and did whatever she wanted to do . now tonight she makes up all kinds of stories of why i - i ca n't be with her , and ... when did my wife become so comfortable lying to me all the time ? phyllis : you told me before that you could envision the day where you might reconcile with billy . are you saying now that you still have a thing for travis ? victoria : all those feelings were a lot easier to put aside when i figured that that ship had literally sailed . the next thing i know , nick has the two of us video - chatting . and you show up , you want me to go find him . you want me to bring him home . you can see what a dilemma that might be for me . look , phyllis , i 'm just trying to put my life back together . i 'm just trying to focus on work and raise my kids with billy . that 's all . i 'm the one that said goodbye to travis . and now , all of a sudden , he 's back in my life . at least the idea of him is . and it 's really messing with my head right now . look , i 'm sure you know how it feels , saying goodbye to somebody that you care about , that you love , only to find that sticking to it is n't so easy . phyllis : yeah . i think i have an idea what that feels like . kevin : that 's why chloe never thanked me for the flowers . she never saw them , did she ? mariah : actually , she did see them . she thought they were nice . kevin : so , what , she -- she just gave them to you ? mariah : no . i took them . kevin : now i 'm confused . mariah : if it makes you feel any better , she did n't see the card . that 's why she did n't thank you . she did n't know that they were for her . bet you feel a whole lot better about that , right ? kevin : what the hell , mariah ? mariah : i was protecting you . kevin : from what ? mariah : from your own worst instincts , kevin ! i tried to tell you a million times that chloe was n't interested . she does not want to get back together with you . but you did n't listen . you ignored me . i could see that you were headed for a nasty fall . someone had to step in . kevin : oh , and that someone had to be you ? who put you in charge of my love life ? mariah : is n't that what a best friend is supposed to do ? that 's what you keep calling me , right ? kevin : well , yeah , you are my -- mariah , wait ! what has gotten into her ? sharon : really , kevin ? you ca n't see it ? wake up . open your eyes . dylan : i do n't recognize her . and i hate to admit kevin 's right , but this is definitely not chloe . paul : okay , i got a hit . bethany bryant , age 32 . she 's got a couple of priors here -- underage drinking . dylan : that explains why she 's in our database . but what 's her motive to frame adam ? paul : well , we 'll ask her when we track her down . dylan : you got an address ? paul : yeah , right there . i 'm gon na call judge rockwell and get a warrant . dylan : let 's go get her . paul : not without these . dylan : thank you . dylan : you ca n't do your job without them . paul : let 's go . miller . chloe : listen , as of today , our alliance is going to be a thing of the past . victor : mm . chloe : i 'm going to focus on bella . meanwhile , adam will be getting out , and there will be no justice for delia . but i 'm going to figure out a way to deal with that , because that 's what i promised dee dee , and that 's the way that it 's going to be . but only if you agree that this is really , truly over . i mean , no more complications , victor . you need to let me figure out a way to move on from this . because if you do n't agree , then -- well , then i ca n't -- i ca n't promise that this is really over . victor : okay . now it 's my turn . phyllis : you 're right . you are lucky . you were able to walk away from travis . and after that , he was n't around to remind you what you sacrificed . victoria : now you want me to change all that . make things a thousand times harder . phyllis : victoria , no offense , but this is not about you . this is about summer . there is too much at stake to not intervene . we can not let her marry this degenerate . and i tell you , if i had somewhere else to turn , i would . but i do n't . and i am begging you -- i am begging you , please step up for your family . victoria : all right . okay . i 'll go see travis . phyllis : thank you . thank you . i want you to remember , if it gets hard , you always have someone to talk to . someone who gets it . billy : i 'm sorry what you 're going through with phyllis , but i do n't think i 'm the one to give you marriage advice . jack : no , no , no , no , no . listen , i value your opinion . i really do . and if i 'd just shown a little restraint , if i 'd been able to curb my own impulses , well , maybe i 'd be patching things up with my wife and not going home to what promises to be an empty house . billy : you know what 's funny about that ? i just came from victoria and , in a roundabout way , we were discussing the exact same issue . jack : how do you mean ? billy : she told me that she did n't go on a boat trip with her boyfriend around the world because of me . jack : i did n't realize that was an option . billy : yeah , well , it was . he even wanted to bring the kids , which is amazing , because he 's never even met them , but ... anyway ... victoria and i , we 're -- we 're not even together anymore , and she still had to make a choice between living her life and -- and being spontaneous or standing by her commitment to raise our kids together . jack : it sounds like she made the right call regardless of how she might feel about this other guy . billy : okay , fair enough . but the point is , she made the decision on her own without me . i mean , if i knew what was going on , how do you think i would have reacted ? we could be in court right now in a custody battle . or i could have gave her my blessing , and they could be on a trip of a lifetime . i guess what i 'm asking is , a - at what point do you hold the person that you love back from doing something that -- that you know is gon na make them happy ? jack : when kids are involved . look , giving in to the moment , surrendering to your passions , i mean , that 'll get the blood going , all right , but ... but marriage , family , stability . these are things that last . that 's what i want with phyllis . it 's not easy , but ... billy , i 'm in this for the long haul . victor : first of all , your concerns are unfounded . chloe : that 's easy for you to say . victor : well , i told you that once i had those journal pages in my possession , that i would wrap things up . i put a plan in motion , and that 's what 's happening right now . chloe : `` trust you . `` those will be your next two words , right ? victor : once the police have the evidence they need , they will clear adam . he 'll come out of prison . and their suspicion regarding you ... is gon na evaporate and be gone . [ pounding on door ] paul : police ! open up ! dylan : we got a search warrant . paul : wow . dylan : [ sighs ] paul : well , somebody left in a hurry , huh ? dylan : yeah . she left these . [ next_on ] jack : i 'll keep it real short . stay the hell away from my wife . ashley : you are playing a very dangerous game . and you have so much to lose . paul : you got to be kidding me . | phyllis and jack argue because he does n't like that she has teamed up with victor to stop summer 's wedding . jack later confides in billy about the argument and billy tells jack that he feels he kept victoria from sailing around the world with travis . phyllis persuades victoria to go down to mexico and talk to travis and persuade him to come home and tell summer the truth about luca . victor gives bethany three million dollars to take the blame for constance 's murder so adam can get out of jail . dylan find evidence to prove that bethany is victor 's accomplice . kevin gets upset with mariah because she took the flowers he gave to chloe although mariah tells him she did it to keep him from having a broken heart . chloe decides to put her hatred of adam behind her and honor delia 's memory by giving bella a happy life . | <s>[INST] paul : what the hell is this ? kevin : spring grove bus station . same locker dylan got an anonymous tip about . except this footage is less than an hour old . paul : kevin ! kevin : paul , come on . this could be a huge break . paul : there are no breaks . the case is closed . i told you that . adam pled guilty . kevin : this is about more than clearing adam . it could prove that chloe is innocent , too . chloe : [ sighs ] i 'm so sorry . that 's why i came here . just to tell you that . i know they 're just words . it 's actions that count . [ sighs ] but i came up short . [ crying ] i 'm so sorry i 've failed you . [ sobs ] bethany : really ? i do n't get an answer ? victor : i have no idea who you are or what you 're talking about . bethany : please . we both know better than that . okay ? you stuffed a cool million into this bag , you sent me to a bus - station locker to pick it up , along with a note saying to take the money and leave town . and i just want to know why . i think i deserve that much . victor : look , i 'm not in the habit of handing out that kind of cash to perfect strangers , which you are to me . so i suggest you show yourself out . bethany : i know it was you . if i tell you how i know it was you , can we stop playing games ? there was a signed receipt along with the key in a check folder . and it took me a while to put a face with the name , but once i did , i realized he is a regular at the gcac . and almost every time i see him , he is sitting with the very famous victor newman . two plus two equals four . you wanted me to find that money . victor : if someone gave you that kind of money , you do n't look the gift horse in the mouth . bethany : well , we could do this all day . victor : yes . bethany : but you need me gone , and that 's not happening until i get some answers . victor : kindly close the door . victor : by you disappearing , my son will get out of prison . billy : i do n't understand . okay , you had an opportunity to sail around the world with somebody that you loved , and you did n't take it because of me ? victoria : i do n't understand why that 's so surprising . we have kids that we 're both devoted to . billy : okay , so that makes sense . you did n't want to leave them behind . victoria : actually , travis wanted me to bring them along . yeah . he said it would be the trip of a lifetime . he wanted me to work out something with you so that you would be okay with it . but i realized that you could n't be separated from them any more than i could . billy : yeah , i did n't know about this . about any of it . victoria : i realized that it was wrong to even ask , so i did n't . we 're bonded by our children , billy . so it looks like you 're stuck with me . jack : hey , hey . where are you off to ? i thought we had a dinner date ? phyllis : yes . we do . i - i 'm sorry , but , uh ... [ sighs ] i am so swamped . i need to get back to work . you 'll forgive me ? jack : you 're really that busy ? phyllis : yes , i am crazy busy . i have the east coast president bank coming to see me to talk about pass key , and then we have the new ad agency who needs -- jack : will you do me a favor ? phyllis : sure . what ? jack : stop lying to me . please . phyllis : lying to you ? jack : i called summer and got an earful about how her mother and victor of all people were working to derail her wedding . this after you promised me you would not give over to your worst instincts . this after you looked me in the eye and told me you agreed summer deserved to make her own choices . phyllis : okay , fine . i am working with victor . to try and stop this wedding . and i 'm not gon na apologize for it . because difficult as it has been to be in the same room as that bastard , it beats the alternative -- watching my daughter rush into another disastrous marriage . do you know luca is even more dangerous than austin ever dreamed of being ? that is saying something . jack : okay , look -- phyllis : no , you look . i am her mother . and you can get angry , you can disapprove , you can give me your biggest lecture , but at the end of the day , this is my call . you have no say here . none . jack : you have no right to talk to me that way about summer . unless you 're trying to re - write history here . billy : you 're right about the bonding thing . kids do that . and if i ever forget , i have my mother to remind us . victoria : yeah , well , somehow i do n't think that jill needs to explain to either one of us what 's really important in life . billy : hear , hear . so , why are n't the kids learning the difference between port and starboard and all those other boaty words ? victoria : [ sighs ] oh , yeah , well ... i do n't know . i saw you with them at crimson lights . you and johnny and katherine . and you looked really happy . i have n't seen you look happy in a long time . i did n't really want to wreck that by ... taking them away on a trip indefinitely . billy : so you decided it was n't gon na work on your own . victoria : well , why would i do that if i knew it would hurt you ? i saw your face , and i had my answer . billy : so , let me guess how this went -- you go back to the guy that you love and tell him that you 're not gon na go on the trip , and he gets on his boat and sails away . victoria : yeah , pretty much . billy : so , the obvious question is , how much do you blame me for missing out ? dylan : [ sighs ] mariah : hey . what are you doing ? dylan : uh , well , i 'm gon na sleep down here tonight . mariah : sharon snoring too loud or what ? sharon : dylan and i had a fight . mariah : well , that 's stupid . fix it . dylan : yeah , it 's not that simple , mariah . mariah : yes , it is . you do n't just sleep on the couch because you and your wife had a disagreement . unless you 're a loser . paul : i 've got dylan 's badge and gun locked in my desk because he defied a direct order . i would be more than happy to suspend you , too . the rules around here apply to everyone . kevin : paul , if you would just hear me out . please . dylan thinks adam was framed . that 's why he would n't stop investigating . i - i was fine with giving up until chloe was implicated , and that 's when i knew that i had to see this through . and i 'm telling you right now , she was not involved , if for no other reason because of how much she despises victor . but beyond that , paul , she 's changed . paul : adam took a plea . it 's done . it 's over . kevin : okay , i know why you made the decision you made . at the time , there was no other evidence . but this video is a game changer . please . please just watch it . please ? after the last time , i had the cameras repositioned to catch this angle . a woman , who is definitely not chloe , comes in , looks around , makes sure she 's not being watched , goes to the exact same locker dylan checked out last week . he had to use a master key to get in . she has her own key . okay ? she opens the locker and looky there . a bag . what 's inside ? cash . big - time payoff cash . and she 's not wearing gloves , meaning her fingerprints are all over that locker . whew ! paul : and you just happened to stumble upon this ? kevin : no , i 've been keeping a lookout trying to prove that chloe is innocent . paul : right . using department equipment and department time ? kevin : no , using my laptop on my time . paul , closing a case when there is no evidence is absolutely justifiable , but keeping it closed when something like this pops up , well , that 's wrong . and if you ignore this , it 's negligent . paul : all right . i will send a man to spring grove and gather evidence . kevin : a man , huh ? uh , i bet dylan 's available , if you want to give him a call . paul : you know , kevin , last time i checked , i 'm still in charge here . i will make those decisions . kevin : copy . bethany : when you say your son , do you mean adam ? because i read about his case . he was convicted of murder . victor : he took a deal . the evidence was stacked against him . but he 's innocent . bethany : you need someone to take the fall for the murder so your son can go free , and that person is me . victor : but do n't you worry about a thing , okay ? you wo n't be arrested . you wo n't go to prison . as long as you do what you 're told . bethany : you expect me to just walk around the rest of my life with that lie hanging over my head ? victor : none of that matters . just get the hell out of town and everything will be fine . everyone wins . mariah : so , let me get this straight . you would n't stop trying to prove that victor framed adam even after paul suspended you . and you got all wifey and over - protective because you were afraid that victor was gon na retaliate . dylan : yeah , that 's , uh -- that 's about it . sharon : you know , after hearing mariah 's unique take on it , i realize that i owe you an apology . i was wrong . i see that now . dylan , i 'm always gon na worry . i ca n't help that . but your job is your job , and it 's not my place to stand in your way . if you quit now out of fear , you would n't be the man i love . dylan : thank you . i 'm -- i 'm sorry . i should n't have gotten so bent out of shape . sharon : forgive me ? mariah : [ clapping ] see ? that 's what i 'm talking about . now , tell me about this case . is there any news ? i mean , if you 're still pursuing it , you must have id 'd this mystery woman . [ knock on door ] sharon : who could that be at this hour ? dylan : i 'll get it . kevin : oh , good . you 're still up . you 're all up . dylan : kevin , what 's -- what 's going on ? kevin : well , i am positive that the woman victor was meeting with to frame adam could not have been chloe . mariah : you suspected chloe ? oh , my god . that makes so much sense . bethany : do you know how crazy that sounds ? what makes you think i would go along with that ? victor : i can think of some reasons . bethany : such as ? victor : well , as far as i know , you live a rather humdrum life . you pour drinks at a bar . no really rosy future ahead of you . no prospects . you take that money , you have a fresh start . as long as you get out of town . bethany : i thought billy was arrogant . you do n't know a thing about me . victor : listen , let 's cut the bull . you ca n't afford to pass up a million bucks , can you ? bethany : sure i can . what i ca n't afford to turn down is $ 3 million . victor : mm . you play the game well . bethany : is that a yes ? victor : 3 million bucks it is . that concludes our business deal . you got that ? chloe : [ scoffs ] what i did , i ... [ sighs ] i did it for you . my sweet little girl . but i also did it for myself , too . knowing adam would pay for taking your life away . i would some -- somehow finally find some peace . but then things did n't work out the way i 'd hoped , and the walls started closing in , and ... [ sighs ] [ sniffles ] victor made me see that i had to give up on punishing adam , or i would be the one to go jail , and then bella would be left without a mother . and that can never , ever happen . [ cries ] i promised you justice . i promised you , and now i have to break that promise . [ sobs ] and somehow , some way , i ... i have to find a way to live with that . [ sighs ] jack : in case you 've forgotten , i was a parent to summer , too . when you were in a coma . when i thought i was her father . i had to step up , and gladly did . i love her , too , phyllis . i also respect her enough to allow her to make her own choices . phyllis : okay , so where do you draw the line ? if she wants to drive off the side of a cliff ... jack : oh , come on . do n't be ridiculous . phyllis : ... are you gon na try to help her ? no , i 'm being dead serious , because i 'm seeing a lot of similarities here . i mean , if she marries luca , it will be catastrophic . jack : so you 've told me . many times . phyllis : do you know what i find ironic ? you want to give summer all of this freedom to make a horrible mistake , and yet you want me to toe the line . you want to pull the reins on me when all i want to do is protect my daughter . you may not like being lied to , but i do n't like having to endure your constant lectures on how to act . jack : this is where we 're to now ? you 're having `` endure `` me ? phyllis : i love you with all of my heart . but , jack , we are not connecting . and you know that as well as i do . i - it 's like whenever i get passionate , you are making it your mission to try to stop me . and i - i just ... i do n't know . it 's like you think you know best . and that 's reminding me of somebody else i know who tries to protect his family where they all want to scream . jack : o - okay , phyllis -- phyllis : no . do you know what , i - i -- i hate lying to you . but you know what i hate more ? being treated like a wayward child instead of your wife . jack : [ sighs ] victoria : you know , after i turned down his offer , i came by your house that day . we painted walls with the kids . billy : that 's right . i - i do remember that . i felt like there was something going on with you , but i could n't quite put my finger on it . victoria : yeah , well ... you know , if i really felt like you were keeping me from something that i really wanted , [ sighs ] i would have never come by your place . but i 'm really glad that i did , because we got to spend some time with the kids together , and make some beautiful memories . billy : yeah . victoria : you ca n't plan memories like that . and that 's worth a lot to me . so , you can get this crazy idea out of your noggin that you were , um , holding me back from any happiness . billy : my noggin , eh ? victoria : yeah , your noggin . phyllis : sorry to interrupt . [ knocks ] billy : [ sighs ] uh , what are you doing here ? phyllis : i need to speak with victoria privately if that 's all right with you . victoria : yeah , sure . that 's fine . we can talk . billy : okay . i 'll see you in a bit . victoria : i 'll see you . i think i can save us both some time . i know that you 're working with my dad and nick to stop summer 's wedding . phyllis : yes . i should have been more up front before . victoria : well , i assume that you 're here to talk to me about the phone call with travis ? phyllis : nick filled me in . he told me that travis is refusing to come back and expose luca ? victoria : yeah . i 'm sorry , phyllis . i tried . phyllis : try harder . victoria : what ? phyllis : go to travis in person . kevin : you must not have heard me . i just said chloe was not the woman in the video . mariah : well , i know you do n't want her to be , but come on . who else has a stronger motive ? sharon : well , let 's -- let 's hear what kevin has to say . kevin : thank you , sharon . i had a feeling that that locker was gon na see some more action , right , so i arranged to have the security camera repositioned to a different angle . dylan : you 've been watching the place the whole time ? kevin : yes . and get this -- woman comes in acting very nervous . she has a key to the locker , right , the one that you went to check out before . opens it up , pulls out a big bag full of cash . mariah : seriously ? kevin : seriously . and i went through the video frame by frame , and there 's a couple of seconds where you could see her face . it 's profile , but still . there 's no way it 's chloe . then she grabs the money and hightails it out . dylan : i mean , so far , everything pointed to chloe , but ... i mean , i ca n't ignore this new lead . i 'm gon na have to tell paul , and he 's gon na rip my head off . i know it . kevin : paul knows . i just showed him the footage . mariah : and your head 's still on ? good job . kevin : thanks . he was n't happy , but he watched and finally agreed to send somebody out to spring grove to check it out . dylan : what do you mean he sent somebody there ? this is my case . i 'm the one who should follow up on this . kevin : that 's why i came to tell you . i thought , suspension or not , you needed to know . sharon : you should go , dylan . you have spent so much time trying to find the truth . you need to see this through to the end . what are you waiting for ? go . dylan : you 're the best . kevin : uh , paul 's not gon na like this . dylan : ca n't think about that right now . victor : you hold onto that . it 's all you 'll get . bethany : understood . i will be gone as soon as i 'm packed . victor : no , you buy a one - way ticket . go right to the airport . bethany : any advice on where i should relocate ? victor : yes . you got to some damn country that does n't have an extradition treaty with the u.s. and stay there . she 's on her way . you know what to do . chloe : i just passed a woman on the elevator . she the new patsy ? victor : that 's none of your business . chloe : figured you 'd say that . victor : come in . close the door . let me tell you this again . the less contact you have with me , the better . so stay the hell away from me . you 're not here to renege on our deal , are you ? chloe : i just came from delia 's memorial . i had to apologize for failing her . victor : how 'd you do that ? chloe : i promised her justice , and i did n't deliver . i had it in the palm of my hand . victor : you had reasons to drop the vendetta . chloe : yeah , i know . the fight needs to be over . and i need to give bella a full life . one that delia never got to have . you know ... delia would have loved to have been a big sister . [ exhales sharply ] she would have loved bella . victor : you know , if i may suggest something ... you can honor delia 's memory by being a good mother to her little sister , bella . chloe : yeah , i realized that on the side of the road . victor : okay . chloe : but then i realized something else , too . victor : and what was that ? paul : looks like we got several in - tact print on the handle of this locker . they should n't be too hard to lift . give me the fingerprint kit . i have to admit , there might be something to this . you got it ready ? br -- mariah : i do n't know why you 're so convinced it was n't chloe . two seconds of blurry security footage hardly erases all that motive . kevin : did i say the video was blurry ? mariah : it always is . right , sharon ? sharon : oooh . do n't look at me . i 'm staying out of this . kevin : chloe was 2,000 miles away while victor was meeting with this mystery woman . mariah : do you know that for a fact ? kevin : there are records , mariah , that place her in california at the time . mariah : oh , come on . like someone could n't have hacked the facility 's computer and changed the dates . which , by the way , would be something that you would point out if chloe was n't a suspect . i think it goes without saying that you 're hardly an objective person when it comes to your ex . kevin : i have watched that video again and again trying to figure out if it could be chloe . if it were her , do n't you think i would want to know ? yes , i miss her . yes , i want her back in my life . and i 'm confident that if i 'm patient that 's gon na happen . hey , i did not fabricate this footage to make chloe look innocent . it 's the real deal . mariah : so are your feelings for chloe , which makes you biased . kevin : enough . i do n't need a rehash on why you think i ought to give up on chloe . those flowers ... those are chloe 's favorites . and this arrangement is exactly the one i had sent to her office . so what 's it doing here ? victoria : so you want me to drop everything and fly down to mexico ? phyllis : physically drag travis back here if that 's what it takes , yes . victoria : my gosh . you are out of your mind . phyllis : yes , i am out of my mind . i am out of my mind with worry . you know what kind of person luca is . you know what kind of mistake summer is about to make . victoria : i 'm sorry , phyllis . there 's nothing i can do about it , all right ? phyllis : that is not true . this could be our last shot at opening her eyes , at showing her who luca really is . victoria : you do n't have to convince me that he 's a bad guy , all right ? i would n't have agreed to call him . as if that did any good . phyllis : victoria , i know that this is gon na be difficult , but we have to put summer first . victoria : okay , look . i already told billy that i was okay with letting travis go . that i made the decision to stay here while he left town , and that i was happy with that choice . phyllis : well , that is great . if you are over him , it 's gon na make things easier . victoria : yeah , it might , if i was being totally honest with billy . but the thing is , i really -- i was n't , okay ? jack : just get it in writing . bye . billy : oh , hey . hey . sorry . jack : are you ? billy : not sure how to take that . jack : [ sighs ] never mind . you know , nothing . billy : you okay , jack ? jack : oh , i wish i could say yes . billy : well , why ca n't you ? jack : oh , phyllis and i just got into it . yet again . it 's turning into a bad habit . billy : i 'd ask you what the problem is , but i 'm thinking it 's better i should n't intrude . jack : you already intruded . in a way , that 's what this fight was about . billy : how , exactly , did i intrude between you and phyllis ? jack : the last conversation we had , where you said i should n't clip phyllis ' wings . it was sound advice . billy : i thought so . jack : can we sit down ? anyway , i took your advice -- since , unlike me , you and she seem to be on the same wavelength . but right out of the gate , all the wrong buttons were pushed , and before i knew it , i was back to my old patterns . billy : criticize her choices ? jack : worse than that . phyllis said i was treating her like a child . and you know what ? she was right . i was in her face trying to get her to see things the way i did . and she walked , and now we 're farther apart than ever . could i have a club soda , please , and a single - malt scotch , neat . billy : thank you . you know what , i 'm gon na take back what i said earlier . why do n't you tell me what the fight is about ? jack : phyllis is bound and determined to come between summer and luca . so much so that she 's willing to team up with victor , if you can believe that . billy : i heard rumblings . jack : this deal is one where , whatever choice i make , it 's the wrong one . billy : all right , why do n't you start with giving me a `` for instance `` ? jack : okay . for instance , i told phyllis it was a mistake to go after luca . it could only end badly . she looked me in the eye , she agreed , she said she understood , and then she went ahead and did whatever she wanted to do . now tonight she makes up all kinds of stories of why i - i ca n't be with her , and ... when did my wife become so comfortable lying to me all the time ? phyllis : you told me before that you could envision the day where you might reconcile with billy . are you saying now that you still have a thing for travis ? victoria : all those feelings were a lot easier to put aside when i figured that that ship had literally sailed . the next thing i know , nick has the two of us video - chatting . and you show up , you want me to go find him . you want me to bring him home . you can see what a dilemma that might be for me . look , phyllis , i 'm just trying to put my life back together . i 'm just trying to focus on work and raise my kids with billy . that 's all . i 'm the one that said goodbye to travis . and now , all of a sudden , he 's back in my life . at least the idea of him is . and it 's really messing with my head right now . look , i 'm sure you know how it feels , saying goodbye to somebody that you care about , that you love , only to find that sticking to it is n't so easy . phyllis : yeah . i think i have an idea what that feels like . kevin : that 's why chloe never thanked me for the flowers . she never saw them , did she ? mariah : actually , she did see them . she thought they were nice . kevin : so , what , she -- she just gave them to you ? mariah : no . i took them . kevin : now i 'm confused . mariah : if it makes you feel any better , she did n't see the card . that 's why she did n't thank you . she did n't know that they were for her . bet you feel a whole lot better about that , right ? kevin : what the hell , mariah ? mariah : i was protecting you . kevin : from what ? mariah : from your own worst instincts , kevin ! i tried to tell you a million times that chloe was n't interested . she does not want to get back together with you . but you did n't listen . you ignored me . i could see that you were headed for a nasty fall . someone had to step in . kevin : oh , and that someone had to be you ?

i just came from victoria and , in a roundabout way , we were discussing the exact same issue . jack : how do you mean ? billy : she told me that she did n't go on a boat trip with her boyfriend around the world because of me . jack : i did n't realize that was an option . billy : yeah , well , it was . he even wanted to bring the kids , which is amazing , because he 's never even met them , but ... anyway ... victoria and i , we 're -- we 're not even together anymore , and she still had to make a choice between living her life and -- and being spontaneous or standing by her commitment to raise our kids together . jack : it sounds like she made the right call regardless of how she might feel about this other guy . billy : okay , fair enough . but the point is , she made the decision on her own without me . i mean , if i knew what was going on , how do you think i would have reacted ? we could be in court right now in a custody battle . or i could have gave her my blessing , and they could be on a trip of a lifetime . i guess what i 'm asking is , a - at what point do you hold the person that you love back from doing something that -- that you know is gon na make them happy ? jack : when kids are involved . look , giving in to the moment , surrendering to your passions , i mean , that 'll get the blood going , all right , but ... but marriage , family , stability . these are things that last . that 's what i want with phyllis . it 's not easy , but ... billy , i 'm in this for the long haul . victor : first of all , your concerns are unfounded . chloe : that 's easy for you to say . victor : well , i told you that once i had those journal pages in my possession , that i would wrap things up . i put a plan in motion , and that 's what 's happening right now . chloe : `` trust you . `` those will be your next two words , right ? victor : once the police have the evidence they need , they will clear adam . he 'll come out of prison . and their suspicion regarding you ... is gon na evaporate and be gone .

[ audience murmuring ] dr. obrecht : [ chuckles ] this is better than anything on cable . just imagine patrick 's reaction if i reveal that robin is alive . but that 's jerry jacks ' surprise , not mine . i just have to wait . patrick : what the hell are you doing ? britt : [ clears throat ] i apologize for interrupting the festivities . i was listening to patrick 's wonderful speech , and i got caught up in the celebration of life , and i - i just wanted to share the wonderful news . i 'm going to be a mom ! anna : and there it is . britt : patrick , i know this may come as a surprise , but can you find it in your heart to celebrate with me ? patrick : pregnant ? britt : we 're pregnant . our baby 's gon na be so beautiful . like emma . you hear that , em ? your daddy and i are having a baby . patrick : britt . britt : you could have a little brother or sister . patrick : anna , please . stop . you okay ? anna : hey , just remember something . before you go near emma and talk to her , you even look at her , i 'm her grandmother , okay ? patrick : go . anna : come on , sweetheart . britt : i just wanted to be straight with emma . we 're a family now , and it 's -- sabrina : that 's never gon na happen , britt . this is all a lie . britt : maybe you should go get your glasses , sweetheart , because i am most definitely pregnant . patrick : okay , that 's enough . get out . [ chatter ] lucy : well , you know what i always say ? i always say that the nurses ' ball would n't be the nurses ' ball without an act iii surprise . [ cheers and applause ] elizabeth : hey . are you okay ? sabrina : [ voice breaking ] god , i should have known it would all come crashing down . i just did n't think that it would be so quickly , you know , or that it would be because the `` britch `` decided to interrupt the ball to tell everyone that she 's pregnant with patrick 's baby ! elizabeth : if she even is pregnant with patrick 's baby . sabrina : we all saw her , elizabeth . it 's unmistakable . felix : i do n't think you 're understanding what elizabeth 's saying . we all know she 's pregnant . what we do n't know is -- elizabeth : if it 's really his . sabrina : what ? elizabeth : it could be anyone 's . sabrina : i - i - i guess , but i - i have n't heard anything about britt sleeping with anyone else . elizabeth : well , it does n't mean she 's not getting around . felix : dr. drake gave dr. ho the heave - ho months ago , so who knows what she 's been up to since ? sabrina : all i can see is patrick 's face . and poor emma . can you imagine ? can you imagine how upset and confused she must be ? god ! that -- that -- felix : let it out , honey . sabrina : aah ! that bitch ! felix : ha ha ! sabrina : how could she ? ! how could she ? ! making her hateful announcement at an event honoring patrick 's late wife ? no ! you know what ? no ! she is not getting away with this . elizabeth : no , no . wait , sabrina . wait . what do you plan on doing ? felix : and do you need bail or an alibi ? i 'm not judging . i just want to be prepared . sabrina : do you know what i 'm gon na do ? i 'll tell you what i 'm gon na do . i 'm gon na give that woman a piece of my mind . elizabeth : oh , sabrina , i do n't know if now 's the best time ! felix : although there 's no time like the present . that was fun . lucy : i 'm just gon na move this right along and take great pleasure in introducing the bensonhurst medium and her hunky , sexy sidekick , max .

[ laughter ] [ applause ] patrick : what the hell do you think you 're doing ? britt : i think it 's obvious . patrick : there 's no way that you 're pregnant . britt : because we only had sex once ? please . you do n't need to be a doctor to know that once is all it takes . and that day in the shower , well , neither one of us were models of responsibility . i was n't on birth control . patrick : you were n't ? britt : you did n't bother to grab a condom . i mean , frankly , i count my lucky stars i only got pregnant . unprotected sex is how diseases are spread . you of all people should know . patrick : what did you just say ? [ laughter ] sam : can you believe that woman ? spinelli : it was a despicable way to purvey news that otherwise might have been welcome . sam : yeah , i know . i - i doubt patrick would want her having his baby no matter how she breaks the news . spinelli : i mean , at least someone wants to have his child . others are not so lucky . olivia : what maxie jones sings in the shower ! [ laughter ] maxie : look , i do n't know what you think you know . ellie : just that something is amiss . based on what you told your father , it sounded like -- maxie : you were eavesdropping on my private conversation ? ellie : no . maxie , no . i was n't eavesdropping . i was walking by , and i overheard . and i heard you say that if your father had n't stepped in , the truth about the baby would be out . maxie : oh . that 's all you heard . ellie : yes . okay , well , i heard that and some references to a psycho doctor . but if you or your baby are hurt or in jeopardy , that 's something that you should share with friends . maxie : and by `` my friends , `` do you mean you ? ellie : i know we do n't always get along , but i have a good deal of scientific and medical knowledge . and maybe i can help . so , please , maxie , just tell me . what truth is so dangerous ?

chris : considering our history , the fact that we 're about to be married , i 'd say it 's nothing short of a miracle . michael : i 'll drink to that . michael : you know , i still ca n't believe that this is for real . chris : well , you 'll see how real it is once the honeymoon 's over . michael : ( chuckles ) the honeymoon is never going to be over . michael : to miracles . chris : miracles . michael : sorry , i 've been a klutz all evening . chris : it 's - it 's okay . after the way you'vehahanged and the man you 've become , i think i can handle this one little flaw . michael : look , i 'm not perfect . i am far from it . chris : no , but you 're close to perfect , at least to me . isabella : i do n't understand . you want to leave tonight , alone ?

[ meg laughs ] meg : emily ? sensible ? yeah , i do n't care what she told you , but there is no way she 's getting rid of your child .

[ scene_break ] margo : all right , well , should we start by putting the decorations away or maybe we should do the food first -- oh , well , okay , you 're not okay with that , that 's fine . you do n't have to do anything , it 's all right . it 's all right . katie : there 's no way mike hurt that girl . this is the same man who traveled across the world to make sure that i was safe . the same man who jumped into an icy pond to save my rabbit . he 's the kindest , gentlest , most honest man i 've ever met . i do n't care what kind of evidence they have , it does n't prove anything . mike did not kill that woman . margo : well , baby , i do n't think so , either . but none the less , a woman has been killed and they do have to investigate . i , for one , have faith in the system . i have faith in jack . and i know that mike will be exonerated . and you know this to be true . katie : i do . margo : oh , yes , yes , it 's absolutely true . okay , so let 's start by putting the food away . and ms. havesham , do you want to get out of the wedding dress ? katie : yeah . some reception , huh ? the bride sitting around holding hands with the matron of honor . you 're gon na come back to me .

[ scene_break ] gwen : so next time , you have to come -- you and maddie . you okay ? will : yeah . gwen : i 'm sorry that we did n't connect before i left . will : yeah , me too . gwen : so i 'll see you tomorrow ? there 's a bus here that leaves here at like 5 : 00 , i think . and casey 's eaten his way through half the menu , so that leaves us like seven bucks to hold us out till then . so maybe we can meet for breakfast ? will : yeah , whatever you want . gwen : i 'll see you tomorrow . casey : what 's wrong ? gwen : will 's doing that thing where he says everything 's fine , but it 's not . casey : that 's just will . he 's got to stew for a while before he lets go of it . he 'll be fine . [ scene_break ] maddie : sounds like they had fun . will : yeah . you want another cup of coffee ? maddie : sure . thanks . susan : and if , in the future , you want to have more children -- i think that would be wonderful . but right now , frankly , with your injuries and with the way you 're feeling , i do n't know if you could carry a baby to term . and then there are the legal problems , you 'll probably have to serve time . you 're in no position to , uh -- to become a parent . emily : i 'm already a parent . i know what it takes . susan : right . so then you know this is not the time . and obviously , you 've already realized that . and i am glad about that . because it proves to me that you 're not that focused on paul anymore and that you 're willing to put yourself and your recovery first . emily : look , i 'm not saying everything you 're saying does n't make sense -- it does . but the reason i 'm having this abortion ? it 's because of paul . [ scene_break ] paul : look , emily is in no condition to have a baby with anybody . especially me . she 's furious with me . she gave me back her wedding ring . meg : oh , nice touch . paul : i 'm just saying , i really think that everything is going to be okay . meg : if there 's anything i 've learned in the last couple months it 's that trusting emily is a very bad idea . paul : no , but you did n't talk to her , okay ? this pregnancy has been a wake - up call for her . i really think that she 's rational now for the first time in months . something has clicked and she finally gets it that it 's over . meg : you know , i want to believe that . i really do . and even if she means it and she 's not snowing you ? it does n't mean that she wo n't turn around and change her mind last minute . paul : no , i do n't think so . she 's going to jail , she knows that . she knows that she has no possibility of having any kind of relationship with this child . meg : she 's not thinking about the child , paul . she 's thinking about you ! paul : the one person in this world that emily truly loves is daniel . and she knows how much she 's botched up that relationship . she 's not going to run the risk of harming another child in this world just to get at me . emily will go through with this abortion . meg : and you 're okay with that ? i mean , this is your child , too . your first .

bridget : well , you 're not ? oz , he went ballistic . oscar : he was provoked . bridget : provoked ? oscar : yeah , i mean , how else is the guy gon na react ? i mean , maybe i would n't have done it with quite so much vigor , but i can understand how somebody might get a little upset if some guy is hitting on his wife . bridget : okay , my dad was n't hitting on jackie . so , you can just take that back . thomas : should you be drinking coffee around the fabric ?

massimo : i will get you a job at logan designs . jackie : oh , i do n't want you to get me a job . you 're my husband . your job is to give me love , this house , this wonderful life . you 've given me all of that . there are some things i have to do for myself . i 've worked so hard to build my reputation , to get people to trust me , to get respect . and it 's so important to me . massimo : fine . fine . all right ?

[ scene_break ] carrie : all i can tell you , sami , is that austin has been a very big disappointment , and when i think about everything that i 've lost and everything that my employees have lost , i do n't think i can even look at him again , at least , not in the same way . he 's clearly not the man i knew when i left . sami : so that sounds pretty definite that it 's over , just like it 's over for me and lucas . so now you just have to move on with your life like i 'm trying to do . [ sighs ] carrie : i guess so . sami : which reminds me -- there 's something that i want to ask you . it 's a little bit awkward , given our history . carrie : what is it ? sami : well , i told you how austin was so supportive and he was really there for me after lucas left me at the altar . carrie : yeah , he 's been a good friend to you . i 'll give him that . sami : well , for awhile there , i actually thought he might still have feelings for me . carrie : but when i came back and we were trying to get back together , you said that you were gon na back off . sami : and i did because i did n't want to do this whole sibling - rivalry thing again , and anyway , i knew you 'd win . carrie : so what are you saying , sami ? sami : well , everything 's different now , right ? you do n't want to be with austin , so i wanted to make sure that it would be okay with you , um ... if , when austin 's ready -- if he ever is ready ... i just wanted to make sure it would be okay with you if maybe i pursued the possibility of a future with him . [ scene_break ] austin : stay the hell away from carrie . you got that ? lucas : i do n't think you 're in a position to dictate who can or ca n't see carrie , especially since she 's living with me in my apartment . austin : that 's totally platonic . she 's not into you like that . kate : would you please both stop it ? this is not the time or place . lucas : yeah , for once , mom 's right . yeah , you should worry about your new company -- the one you stole from carrie -- instead of making a fool out of yourself thinking you guys are gon na get back together . austin : you know what ? you 're fooling yourself . you got no chance with carrie . she loves me , and i will get her back . you just watch and see . lucas : you watch and see . you can raid as many companies as you want , but when the time 's right , titan 's gon na take you over . we 're gon na destroy you , just like you did carrie 's company , and then you 'll see firsthand how carrie felt when you destroyed her whole life . austin : bring it on , man . give it your best shot . just do n't sell me short . just because you got titan behind you does n't mean you 're gon na win , and you sure as hell ai n't gon na win when it comes to carrie . lucas : well , we 'll just see , wo n't we ? on both counts . kate : [ sighs ] oh , my god . look , do n't let him get to you . he 's just lashing out . he knows he does n't have a chance with carrie . he knows that she loves you and that 's never gon na change . austin : yeah , yeah , well , he better know . i promise you , mom . if i find out he 's done anything to keep us apart , he 's a dead man . i do n't care if he 's my brother .

[ scene_break ] chelsea : what did max tell you ? caroline : how upset you were about zack and how you and zack really hit things off and you 'd grown very fond of him . chelsea : yeah , i had . i really loved him . he was my baby brother , and he actually loved me . he told me so . caroline : well , this is very hard on all of us , but , besides bo and hope , this must be very difficult for you . knowing that your mother , billie , was responsible -- i really ca n't believe it myself . chelsea : i just hope the judge understands that she did n't mean to do it .. it was just an accident . caroline : well , i hope so , too . i know this judge fitzpatrick can be really tough . i do n't want to scare you , but i - i think you need to prepare yourself , considering billie 's prior record . chelsea : prior record ? you mean the time that she punched the cop at the cheatin ' heart ? i mean , that was all just a misunderstanding . she did n't know . besides , i thought all that was cleared up , anyway . caroline : i 'm not so sure of that . i was thinking of other things in her past -- things that ... are not likely to make the judge more lenient . chelsea : you mean you think billie could actually do time ? caroline : unfortunately , dear , there 's a very good chance . [ scene_break ] billie : i ca n't believe you . you went behind my back and hired frankie to be my attorney . kate : i did because i care about you , and i care about what happens to you , and i think frankie is perfect for the case because of his trial experience , his work with the government . billie : you had no right . austin : what is your problem ? you have to know that you need a lawyer . frankie is one of the best . if you cooperate with him , you can get out of this . billie : look , i have no doubt that frankie is very good at what he does , okay ? but i told you before i do n't need an attorney . i did it . i 'm guilty . and i 'm fully prepared to face the charges on my own . i 'm sorry we wasted your time , frankie . thank you very much . let 's just get this over with . austin : and at the end , you 'll wind up in jail . billie : i realize that 's a possibility . kate : no , it 's not . not if i can help it . billie : well , you ca n't . kate : billie , this is not going to happen . i 'm not going to let it happen . you know it 's wrong , and austin and frankie need to know that it 's wrong , too . frankie : know what ? billie : nothing , frankie . i 'm sorry . my mother has a very hard time letting her children make their own decisions and minding her own business . kate : billie ... billie : mom , i think you should go now , please . kate : no , i 'm not going anywhere . billie : listen , do you want me to make a scene right here ? because i will . kate : no , i do n't want you to make a scene and i will leave and i wo n't say anything . but you have to make me a deal that you will let frankie represent you . that 's all i 'm asking you . billie : fine . all right , fine . but i 'm not changing my plea , mom . kate : okay . please , please talk some sense into her , okay ? billie : goodbye , mother . kate : i love you , baby . [ scene_break ] frankie : all right , look , we do n't have much time before the arraignment , and we have a lot of catching up to do , so what do you say we get started ? billie : all right , fine , but i meant what i said . i 'm not changing my plea . or maybe you have n't heard -- i confessed . frankie : oh , yeah , i heard all about your confession , and , quite frankly , your story does n't make sense . [ scene_break ] patrick : excuse me , uh , i was wondering if you could help me . woman : well , that depends . what did you have in mind ? patrick : i need to see one of the tapes from your surveillance camera outside -- the one on the left , facing the road . woman : yeah ? why 's that ? you a cop or something ? patrick : no , hardly , but i am investigating a possible crime -- one that may have been caught on the camera out there . woman : are you a private dick ? patrick : excuse me ? woman : a private detective . you know , like mike hammer , philip marlowe , travis mcgee , or , my all - time favorite ... shaft . patrick : uh , sort of . yeah . but listen , i 'm really in a hurry here , so if you could show me that tape , i 'd really appreciate it . woman : i bet you would , handsome , but what 's in it for me ? [ scene_break ] sami : you know what , lucas ? i am not interested in what you have to say . lucas : you sure about that ? i might be able to save you a lot of wasted time and major disappointment . sami : since when have you cared about saving me from disappointment ? lucas : i could ask you the same thing . sami : who left who at the altar , lucas ? lucas : who lied to who at the altar , sami ? sami : you know what ? i do n't want to talk about this , okay ? lucas : fine , neither do i. i had some free advice for you . i just had a conversation with my brother before i came over here , but if you do n't want to hear what he had to say , no problem . sami : well , why ? did it have to do with me ? lucas : oh , yeah . yeah , indirectly . but mostly , he was talking about carrie . sami : yeah , well , thanks for telling me . lucas : yeah , i do n't want to bore you with the details , but if you think you have a snowball 's chance in hell of getting him back , you 're way off base . sami : why ? what did he say ? lucas : it 's more like what he did n't say . sami : would you stop talking in riddles and just spit it out , lucas ? what did he say ? lucas : he said he was still in love with carrie . sami : well , it does n't matter what he says because she 's not gon na take him back . lucas : i agree with you . i agree . i know she feels that way , but after talking to austin , i do n't think he 'll be looking for a replacement any time soon . sami : he just needs time . lucas : you keep telling yourself that . sami : i will . thanks . lucas : when 's it gon na sink in , huh ? austin does n't want you . he does n't want to be with you . he will never love you as much as he loves her . [ scene_break ] carrie : [ sighs ] poor hope . sami , you should go say something to her and uncle bo . sami : why ? they do n't even like me . carrie : what are you talking about ? sami : look , there 's been a lot of family drama while you were in israel with mike -- or wherever you were . carrie : well , whatever happened , it 's no reason not to at least offer your condolences . sami : they do n't want me to , okay ? believe me . i am showing my support by being here . carrie : fine . suit yourself . sami : how are you ? are you okay ? carrie : i would n't say `` okay . `` i 'm feeling a little bit better after our talk , i guess . you helped me see austin for who he really is . sami : carrie , it 's not like he 's a bad person or anything . carrie : we just do n't have anything in common anymore . we 're two different people with different views of the world . sami : well , maybe it 's good that you found that out now before you get even more involved . carrie : anyway , uh , what about you and lucas ? sami : what about us ? carrie : well , i saw you just now . you seemed pretty intense . sami , is it really over between the two of you ? [ scene_break ] kate : good , lucas . you 're here . lucas : yeah . kate : good , good . billie needs all of the support she can get today . lucas : yeah , well , i 'm here for hope , too , mom . she could use some support . kate : yes , honey , i know that . i know she 's your cousin . lucas : i just ca n't imagine what she 's going through . if anything like that ever happened to will , i do n't know what i 'd do . kate : well , unfortunately , i can imagine . i know exactly how it feels to lose a child . believe me , i can feel for bo and hope , but billie ... lucas : what ? what about billie ? kate : billie -- i just do n't think billie should be blamed for this . lucas : yeah , i know it was an accident , mom , but , i mean , she drove away .. why would she do something like that ? kate : i do n't know . maybe she was scared . lucas : it just does n't make any sense to me , that 's all . kate : i know it does n't make any sense . that 's why i hired frankie brady to represent her , and hopefully , he 's gon na be able to work this whole mess out and billie will be okay . look , i 'm just glad . i 'm glad all my children are here to support each other . lucas : oh , really ? austin 's here ? he finally showed up ? kate : yes , austin 's here . austin 's here , and he 's in with billie right now . lucas : oh , so you have n't heard , right ? no one 's told you ? kate : lucas , i have n't heard what ? lucas : he bought out carrie 's company in a hostile takeover . kate : what ? lucas : yeah , yeah , he , sami , and nicole are running highstyle now . nice guy , huh ? kate : lucas , wait a minute . i thought that carrie and austin were together now . why would he do something like that ? lucas : well , i do n't know . apparently , nicole was a little trigger - happy .. she did n't do her homework . by the time they found out that carrie was the ceo of highstyle , it was too late to back out of the deal . kate : oh , my god . he has to feel terrible . well , what about carrie ? how 's she taking it ? lucas : how do you think she 's taking it , mom ? she 's devastated . that company was her baby . she 's trying to pull the knife out of her back . kate : well , please , she has to understand . if austin did n't know , then it 's just business , lucas . lucas : well , i guess austin and carrie do business in a different way , because now all carrie thinks of him is he 's a cold - blooded , heartless bastard . she wants nothing to do with him . kate : no , no , no , this ca n't be happening . this is a big mistake . i 'm going to talk to her . lucas : no , no , you 're not . you 're gon na stay the hell out of it .

[ scene_break ] frankie : austin ? austin : yeah . frankie : would you mind giving me a minute ? austin : absolutely . billie , listen to frankie , okay ? he knows what he 's doing . he is trying to help . think about your future , and what would chelsea 's future be like if her mother 's in jail ? i 'll be outside . [ scene_break ] [ door opens , closes ] frankie : you want to tell me why you 're so determined to take the fall for something you did n't do ? billie : you do n't know anything about this , frankie . frankie : you 're wrong . after austin called , i did a little research , billie . there 's no way you could have killed zack because at the time of the accident , you were on a titan jet landing at salem international . the truth . what 's going on ? who are you covering for ? [ scene_break ] chelsea : i did n't realize that my mom had a police record . i mean , i know that she had done things in her past that she was n't proud of , but i never knew she 'd actually been convicted of anything . i mean , she 's actually been to jail ? caroline : well , it was a very long time ago , chelsea . but , uh ... the d.a . is likely to bring up billie 's prior offenses . he might want to make an example of her and use them to get the maximum sentence . chelsea : the maximum sentence ? caroline : right now , let 's not worry about it until it happens , okay ? right now , let 's just pray it does n't . [ scene_break ] bo : what did you find out ? what 's the holdup ? hope : i still have no idea , but i did speak to the assistant d.a . who 's prosecuting the case . he said it 's going to be a closed arraignment . only immediate family members allowed . bo : oh , fine by me . you know , since we have some time , i 'm gon na go get us some coffee . zack : mommy , it 's zack . time to pick me up from school .

[ scene_break ] sami : carrie , of course it 's over between me and lucas . how could you even say that ? carrie : something tells me i 've hit a nerve . sami : no , it 's just that it seems obvious to me . we 're finished . carrie : and now you 're doing that thing with your lip . sami : [ scoffs ] what are you talking about ? carrie : that thing that you do . sami : i do n't know -- carrie : it 's true . i 'm right . sami : i do n't know what you 're talking about . stop it . carrie : sam he does n't want to have anything to do with me , and he has moved on with his life . carrie : i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to upset you . sami : i know that you did n't . it 's just that i miss him , and i wish things were different , but they 're not , and so i have to move on with my life . carrie : hmm . you sure ? i mean , if you still love him , maybe he still loves you . sami : he does n't . he hates me , and he 's made it clear that he will never forgive me . just like you 're never gon na forgive austin . [ scene_break ] kate : lucas , what on earth is wrong with you ? why ca n't i talk to carrie ? we 've always been close . i just want to help . lucas : you just want to help . every time you say that -- you just want to help -- you never do , mom . you never help your kids . all you do is end up hurting them . kate : that is not true . what about when i protected philip ? lucas : when you what ? kate : [ sighs ] lucas : wait , what are you talking about ? kate : never mind , okay ? look , the point is -- i do n't want anything to come between austin and carrie , certainly not something as silly as this . they 're meant to be together , lucas . lucas : you really think so ? you think they 're meant to be together ? they 've had a lot of problems in the past , mom . maybe they 're not supposed to be together . maybe carrie and i are the ones who are supposed to be together . you ever think of that , huh ? kate : you know , it seems to me that you 're very happy about this , are n't you ? what , are you pleased that austin bought out carrie 's company and now there 's a chance that they wo n't be together ? lucas : just do me a favor and stay out of it , all right ? kate : [ chuckling ] oh . you know , i have a feeling that you had something to do with orchestrating this whole thing , did n't you ? hmm ? lucas : really ? i think you give me way too much credit . austin ruined his chances with carrie all on his own . he was so out for blood , he did n't bother to take the time to see who he was screwing over , and now he 's paying for it . kate : oh , i see , and you 're just going to be standing by , waiting to pick up the pieces of carrie 's heart ? lucas : well -- austin : over my dead body . [ scene_break ] woman : here we are . the tape of the night in question . care for some popcorn ? patrick : no , thanks . woman : i know it 's not that kind of movie , but maybe later ... patrick : for now , let 's just , uh , roll the tape . woman : your wish is my command . so what are we looking for anyway ? patrick : i 'll know it when i see it . [ bell dings ] woman : ugh , it 's `` pays with pennies `` guy . [ coins clatter ] and he just dropped all of them . all right , i 'll be right back . let me know if i 'm missing anything . patrick : right . [ sighing ] okay . come on . show me it was n't billie driving bo 's suv . [ scene_break ] billie : i 'm not covering for anyone . your research is way off base . frankie : no , billie , i 'm actually very thorough . i 've pretty much nailed down the entire time line . now , i know , of course , the time that zack was killed . but , more importantly , i know the exact time you landed at the airport . i know when the car picked you up and what time it dropped you off at the lockharts ' . there 's absolutely no way that you could have done what you 're claiming to . billie : where did you get all this ? because this is wrong , frankie . frankie : i 'm gon na ask you one more time . who are you covering for ? billie : i will tell you one more time . i 'm not covering for anyone ! frankie : okay , well , then , i guess you 'll have no problem with my presenting this time line to the court today . billie : wait a minute , today 's not the trial . it 's just the arraignment . frankie : nevertheless , i 'm sure judge fitzpatrick would be happy to hear any evidence that proves , beyond a shadow of a doubt , that you could n't have been in the hit - and - run . billie : frankie , no . please do n't . i 'm begging you . no one can know that chelsea killed zack . [ scene_break ] caroline : chelsea , what is wrong ? i can tell you 've got something on your mind . you want to talk about it ? maybe i can help . chelsea : no , um , no one can help me . i 'm just sad for my mom . that 's all .. caroline : are you sure that 's all it is ? chelsea : yeah . i 'll be fine . caroline : well ... i should check on hope , you know . chelsea : yeah , she probably needs you right now . do n't worry about me . i 'll be okay . caroline : look , whatever happens , i am here for you . understand ? now , you remember that . chelsea : i will . thank you . [ scene_break ] caroline : hope ? what 's wrong ? what happened ? bo : her cellphone alarm just went off . we heard zack 's voice . caroline : zack 's voice ? bo : yeah . hope : [ sniffles ] i did n't even know he recorded it . caroline : oh , oh , honey , honey . hope : i think i just need a moment to myself . i 'm gon na go get some water . bo : i can go get it for you . hope : no , i 'll be right back . [ scene_break ] bo : she 's trying very hard to be strong . caroline : i know . and so are you . thank god you 've got each other . bo : no , mom , i 'm not strong . i 've screwed everything up . caroline : what are you talking about ? bo : uh ... let 's go inside , okay ? bo : ma , i - i have n't told hope the truth . caroline : the truth about what ? bo : billie is n't the one who hit zack . chelsea is . caroline : [ gasps ] oh , my god . are you sure ? bo : yeah , ma , i 'm sure . caroline : i was just speaking to chelsea . oh , no wonder she was so upset .. bo : yeah , well , she 's not the one to be blamed . [ sighs ] ma , none of this would have happened if i had n't given her permission to drive my car . i was gon na be tougher on her , especially about her driving . i was n't gon na back down , but i did . i should n't have done that . so because of me , my son is dead . [ scene_break ] carrie : all i can tell you , sami , is that austin has been a very big disappointment , and when i think about everything that i 've lost and everything that my employees have lost , i do n't think i can even look at him again , at least , not in the same way . he 's clearly not the man i knew when i left . sami : so that sounds pretty definite that it 's over , just like it 's over for me and lucas . so now you just have to move on with your life like i 'm trying to do . [ sighs ] carrie : i guess so . sami : which reminds me -- there 's something that i want to ask you . it 's a little bit awkward , given our history . carrie : what is it ? sami : well , i told you how austin was so supportive and he was really there for me after lucas left me at the altar . carrie : yeah , he 's been a good friend to you . i 'll give him that . sami : well , for awhile there , i actually thought he might still have feelings for me . carrie : but when i came back and we were trying to get back together , you said that you were gon na back off . sami : and i did because i did n't want to do this whole sibling - rivalry thing again , and anyway , i knew you 'd win . carrie : so what are you saying , sami ? sami : well , everything 's different now , right ? you do n't want to be with austin , so i wanted to make sure that it would be okay with you , um ... if , when austin 's ready -- if he ever is ready ... i just wanted to make sure it would be okay with you if maybe i pursued the possibility of a future with him . [ scene_break ] austin : stay the hell away from carrie . you got that ? lucas : i do n't think you 're in a position to dictate who can or ca n't see carrie , especially since she 's living with me in my apartment . austin : that 's totally platonic . she 's not into you like that . kate : would you please both stop it ? this is not the time or place . lucas : yeah , for once , mom 's right . yeah , you should worry about your new company -- the one you stole from carrie -- instead of making a fool out of yourself thinking you guys are gon na get back together . austin : you know what ? you 're fooling yourself . you got no chance with carrie . she loves me , and i will get her back . you just watch and see . lucas : you watch and see . you can raid as many companies as you want , but when the time 's right , titan 's gon na take you over . we 're gon na destroy you , just like you did carrie 's company , and then you 'll see firsthand how carrie felt when you destroyed her whole life . austin : bring it on , man . give it your best shot . just do n't sell me short . just because you got titan behind you does n't mean you 're gon na win , and you sure as hell ai n't gon na win when it comes to carrie . lucas : well , we 'll just see , wo n't we ? on both counts . kate : [ sighs ] oh , my god . look , do n't let him get to you . he 's just lashing out . he knows he does n't have a chance with carrie . he knows that she loves you and that 's never gon na change . austin : yeah , yeah , well , he better know . i promise you , mom . if i find out he 's done anything to keep us apart , he 's a dead man . i do n't care if he 's my brother . [ scene_break ] carrie : you want my blessing ? is that it , sami ? it is over with austin and me , so go for it . knock yourself out . maybe you two are perfect for each other after all . sami : w -- [ scene_break ] chelsea : max , will you just please hurry up and get down here ? i 'm really sorry for the way i acted before . i was just scared , and i still am . the truth is gon na come out , and when it does , i 'm going to jail . [ scene_break ] caroline : you have to tell the truth . you have to tell them that chelsea is responsible for zack 's death . this has gone too far , and you know it . you ca n't let billie take the blame . bo : you 're right , mom . i ca n't . i got to tell hope the truth . hope : the truth ? about what ? [ scene_break ] frankie : your daughter 's the one who hit zack ? billie : yes . frankie : and you 're taking the blame . it all makes sense now . billie : wait a minute . it was an accident , okay ? she does n't deserve to go to jail . [ scene_break ] billie : is this true ? did you hit zack ? chelsea : [ sniffles ] yes . it 's true . but i did n't mean to . i thought that i hit a pothole in the road , and that 's why i did n't stop . i did n't think for one second that it would be zack . billie : of course not . of course not . chelsea : [ sniffles ] billie : do the police know ? what are you gon na do ? who else knows about this ? bo : max . billie : max ? was max in the car with you ? bo : we 're not gon na pin this on him . billie : why did you tell max ? why does he know ? bo : i called him to take the truck to his garage . chelsea : he promised he would n't tell . billie : we 've got to fix this , bo . we got to find a way to save our daughter . chelsea : mom , what are you doing ? billie : whatever it takes to protect you . chelsea : you 're gon na turn yourself in for a crime you did n't commit . why would you do that for me ? billie : i 'd do anything for you , chelsea . [ scene_break ] billie : i 'm not just doing this for chelsea . i 'm doing it for bo , too , because if hope found out -- frankie : whoa , whoa . bo knows and he 's letting you take the blame for it ? billie : no , no , bo hates what i 'm doing . he begged me to tell the truth , but i could n't do it to him or to hope . frankie : i do n't understand . billie : okay , listen . bo let chelsea borrow his car . bo signed off on the temporary license for her without telling hope . if hope found out about that , she would blame bo for zack 's death , and their marriage would be over and so would chelsea 's whole life . frankie : and what about yours ? you go through with this , what 's gon na happen to you , billie ? [ scene_break ] patrick : that 's it . [ bell dings ] woman : did you find what you were looking for ? patrick : i think so . just a few more frames . oh , my god . i do n't believe it . woman : do n't tell me you 're looking for her . she comes in here all the time buying diet soda and teen people . and she 's got attitude up to here , but , you know , hardly the criminal type . or is she ? oh , my god . what did she do ?

[ cell door closes ] franco : you did n't see that one coming , did you ? me taking the high road like that ? sonny : maybe you just realized that , you know , nobody would believe you . franco : they would believe me enough to keep an extra set of eyes on you , and that would probably be enough to screw up whatever plan you had . but i 'm willing to keep my mouth shut ... for a price . nina : you know franco ? heather : of course i do . i mean , he 's a famous artist . nina : oh , yeah . that 's right . i keep forgetting that . heather : sounds like you know him on a more personal basis . nina : yeah . well , um ... he 's pretty much the only friend that i have left . heather : well , he must be very fond of you . nina : i think so . he -- he really -- he really protected me . i mean ... when i was in a very ... vulnerable place . you know , he really , um ... watched over me when nobody else would . heather : what a shame . he 's not here to watch over you now . ava : you aided and abetted your lunatic daughter as she kidnapped my newborn baby . madeline : i do n't remember it that way .

' the mob ? a piece of elq ? ava : you have no idea why i lied about her father . madeline : then why do n't you enlighten me , ava ? one mother to another . heather : it 's easy to blame the mother for all of another person 's problems . nina : well , no , but in my case , it 's true . um , remember ... i mean , the coma that i mentioned ? uh , my mother put me in the coma . because she wanted -- the baby that i was carrying , she wanted it to die . heather : you 're right . your mother sounds horrible . nina : yeah . she took my entire life away . why would a mother do that to her child ? heather : it 's all right , honey . go ahead . let it all out . i mean , you 've been through a lot , have n't you ? nina : yeah . you 've been so amazing to me . your son does n't know how lucky he is . why could n't i have had a mother like you ? heather : who says you ca n't ? julian : what do you want , franco ? franco : what do i want ? what do i want ? that 's a really good question . sonny : if you want , we can just kill you . franco : yeah , but then they 'd probably , you know , lock down the whole block and then search all the cells . and who knows what they 'd find , right ? would n't it be more expedient for you to just meet my terms ? sonny : that would kind of depend on what your terms are . franco : i want your phone . heather : i know your mother hurt you . but that was in the outside world . in here ... i can be your mother . sonny : i did n't think there 's anyone in the world that you would call . franco : you 've been using a phone to look after your people . i want to use the same phone to look after mine . heather : come to mama . kiki : okay , look -- morgan was really upset after he found dante : so , uh , morgan kissed you recently ? kiki : okay , look -- morgan was really upset after he found out that avery was sonny 's daughter and not his . it did n't mean anything . it ca n't . not after everything that happened last year . dante : but that stuff 's all in the past . i mean , you guys became good friends , right ? kiki : i know . i would n't have gotten through any of this without morgan . dante : maybe you guys are more than friends . kiki : [ chuckles ] that would be complicated . and if michael ever found out , he would hate us even more than he already does . lulu : michael , what 's wrong ? michael : i do n't want to have the party here anymore . morgan : thanks for the job offer , lulu , but obviously this is not a good time . michael : i 'm glad we agree . lucas : michael ... michael , one night . fluke : what is the point of having a new waterfront if nobody knows about it ? michael : morgan knew who shot aj , and he lied to cover it up . it would be a dishonor to this clinic if morgan worked the party . fluke : or you could look at it another way . you could look at it as a new beginning , a fresh start . now , if i can do that with the old house , you can do it with your brother ! michael : i 'm sorry , but i strongly disagree . morgan : i 'm sorry that you ca n't be mature enough to deal with this , michael , honestly . michael : you 've gone this long without a job . what 's one more night , okay ? after the party , i promise you , i wo n't set foot in here again . morgan : that 's fine . i 'm gone . but you know what ? for the record , i think it 's absolutely ridiculous that you ca n't watch me pour drinks for a night , especially when it 's gon na help this cause that 's supposedly so near to your heart . michael : look , i 'll happily hire a freelance bartender for the evening . lulu : you do n't have to do that , michael . i get that this is complicated . i want you to know that dante and i are not taking sides . michael : thank you . look , i 'm sorry for what that was -- whatever that was . lulu : hey , hey , hey . you do n't have to tell a spencer that family is messy . i 'm gon na go after morgan , okay ? michael : i 'm , uh ... sorry , guys . lucas : it 's okay . fluke : hey , do n't let a little domestic discord ruin your day , for god 's sake . this is gon na be a great party . nobody is ever gon na forget it . trust me . jordan : you do n't think faison was the one impersonating luke spencer all these months ? shawn : no , that was just a diversion . we think this supposedly dead man was the real brains behind the operation . jordan : so he was the one wearing mask . shawn : he did n't need one . bill eckert and luke were related and have always shared the same face . jordan : so what are we waiting for ? let 's dig . sonny : phone ? i do n't know ... franco : okay , now you 're just wasting my time . the more time you waste , the more likely i am to go tell the guards everything . julian : what 're you gon na do with the phone ? franco : there 's somebody i want to check up on . okay ? when i 'm done , i 'll give you your phone back . you can plan as many prison breaks as your little hearts desire . what 's it gon na be , sonny ? pleasure doing business with you . nina : i 'm sorry . i 'm slobbering all over you . heather : it 's okay . you need someone in your corner . and that someone is me . i 'm gon na look out for you . nina : thank you . thank you . i do n't even know your name . i 'm nina . heather : hi , nina . nice to meet you . i 'm diana -- diana taylor . and i think this is gon na be the beginning of a beautiful friendship .

[ chuckles ] yeah , i found this down in the basement of that old house . remember , michael ? it used to be mine when i was a kid . it 's a louisville slugger . could be worth something these days . who knows ? anyway , you would be surprised what you can find in abandoned basements . jordan : wow . this is a new look for you . when did you become an employee of the port charles cemetery ? shawn : i do n't owe you any explanations . you 're the one who lied . you were supposed to be going to the warehouse . but , what -- you decide to tail me instead ? we 're on the same team , jordan . jordan : exactly . which is why i do n't appreciate being kept out of the loop . see , i knew you were up to something . shawn : it does n't concern you . jordan : have n't i proven myself to you by now ? come on . i warned you that the hit man was gon na take out michael . i helped rescue ric lansing . i dumped a ballot box on duke 's say - so . why have n't i earned your trust ? shawn : i think you know . jordan : what ? shawn : okay . let 's level with each other , after all . because i 've got some questions about you . sonny : franco . buddy . long time no see . franco : yeah , it has been a long time -- almost a month -- a month in solitary confinement . thanks for that , sonny . sonny : unfortunately , you were the one caught with a weapon , so ... franco : right , the toothbrush shiv that you so cleverly stuffed in my pocket right before the guard arrived ? good one . do you know what it 's like to be stuck in a cell the size of a closet for 28 days ? it 's enough to make a man go mad . sonny : unless you 're a freak to begin with . franco : what 's going on here ? sonny : what do you mean ? franco : well , while i was wrongfully imprisoned inside of a prison , you two have become close ? is that it ? that 's sweet . are you sonny 's new prison wife ? does he like to call you carly ? julian : [ chuckles ] franco : `` oh , carly . `` julian : i 'm gon na really enjoy kicking your ass . sonny : okay . you know what ? you should n't joke about that , 'cause after what you put michael through in here , it 's not funny . franco : fair enough . sonny : okay . franco : tell you what -- why do n't we change the subject ? why do n't we go back to discussing the escape attempt you were talking about before ? julian : [ chuckles ] you must 've misunderstood . sonny : yeah , you 're gon na have to hitch your own ride . franco : sonny , shame , shame . you know , the upside to solitary confinement is , it gives a man a chance to think about his life , about paying back his enemies , and i feel ... like one way to pay back my enemies has just fallen right into my lap . heather : i win ! what a fun game . so , you want to play again ? nina : no . no , i -- no . you -- you already clobbered me twice . heather : well , we do n't have to play battleship . i mean , there 's other games , like monopoly . but i 'm the thimble . i mean ... i am the thimble ! or ... there 's trouble . it 's fun getting into trouble . nina : yeah , uh , we do n't have to play a game . we could just talk . heather : okay . i 'm sorry . i just got kind of excited . i mean ... it 's been a long time since i hit it off with someone in one of these looney bins . in case you have n't noticed , there 's a lot of crazy people in here . but not you . you 're different . you 're like me . nina : am i ? heather : sure . we do n't belong in here . we 're not crazy . someone hurt you -- someone you trusted . i can see it in your eyes . tell me who hurt you . nina : my husband ... and that whore who slept with him . ava : what do you want , madeline ? madeline : nothing . i - i was just passing by , and i noticed you thrashing about . you must 've had a terrible nightmare . i could n't help but be concerned . no , no . `` concerned `` -- that 's not right . that 's not the right word . more like ... thrilled . ava : go away . madeline : what is it , ava ? ava : please . madeline : what 's keeping you from your beauty sleep ? ava : what do you think ? i ca n't be with my baby , and it 's your fault . dante : is this my little baby sister ? morgan : yes . kiki : ah , yes , it is . i mean , you met her for like a split second in canada . dante : yeah . morgan : yeah , i call her avery baby . i do n't know why , but it just kind of stuck . dante : yeah . avery , huh ? hey , i 'm dante . i 'm dante . i 'm your oldest brother . and this -- this is your sister - in - law . morgan : she wants to get to you . lulu : ooh ! she 's so precious . may i ? morgan : yeah , yeah . kiki : of course . lulu : oh , my goodness , dante . look at these big dark eyes . kiki : you know , i 'm sorry . i should 've called or had you guys over . lulu : oh , stop . we would 've come to you . we just figured that we 'd give you some time alone with her . it 's a huge adjustment . kiki : yes , it is . dante : think she looks like us ? morgan : like you ? i hope not . dante : ah . says you , buddy . [ laughter ] lulu : well , i am thrilled that rocco is going to have someone to play with . morgan : yeah . right ? his aunt . look at that . dante : yeah . you know what ? by the time they 're old enough to figure it out , it wo n't be as awkward . morgan : right . lulu : so tell me the truth -- how are you holding up ? i know taking care of a baby can be daunting at first . kiki : yeah , i mean , it 's been really hard with my mom in prison , but ... i mean , my dad and carly have gone above and beyond to help me out . it 's just avery is my responsibility . she 's my sister . dante : well , you know what ? my dad has a ton of family on his side -- michael , this guy , kristina , me . you are not alone in this . kiki : thanks . thanks . that 's nice to hear . [ avery whines ] lulu : someone 's sleepy . dante : what about you , man ? what have you been up to ? morgan : you know , same old , which is to say i visit avery , i play some pool here and there , and take josslyn to movies . that kind of stuff . dante : and what about the job ? you 're looking for a job , right ? morgan : yeah , i 'm -- i 'm still working on that . lulu : well , maybe i could help with that . you could come work for me at the haunted star . michael : look , i do n't mean to be rude , but i have to get back to work as soon as possible . lucas : yeah , me too . i 'm just on lunch break from the hospital . so , what 's going on ? what 's the big surprise you have for us ? fluke : i 've been doing some thinking , partially because i wanted to and partially because my wife insisted . spanky buns is always right . and if you do n't believe me , ask her . [ chuckles ] anyway , i know i 've been giving you a real hard time about that old house , and , uh ... i apologize for that . i 've done some rethinking . i want to give you and lucas my full support . you can level that property and build aj 's clinic there . michael : are you sure ? i mean , you were so opposed before . fluke : i know . like i say , i 'm sorry about that . after giving it some thought and ... thinking about how i 've been acting towards you , i realize that i 've been using ... my bad memories of that house against you . and i do n't want to do that anymore . i want to turn a negative into a positive , so if you can do something with that place that 's positive for the community , maybe it 'll even be positive for me . anyway , uh ... i 'm not gon na stand in your way anymore . michael : okay . great . i mean , thanks , luke . that means a lot . lucas : yeah , that means a lot to me , too . i really think this clinic 's gon na help a lot of people . but why did you have us here to tell us that ? fluke : 'cause i want to do my part . i want to throw a party . lulu : the haunted star is staffing up for the spring . i 'm sure i can find something for you to do . kiki : hey , you used to bartend when we went to college . lulu : perfect . dante : you will have to run it by your new business partner first . kiki : what business partner ? lulu : do n't start . morgan : are we missing something here ? lulu : i 'll explain it on the way . dante : `` on the way `` ? what do you mean ? on the way where ? we were supposed to have dinner . lulu : you stay . i want to see if your brother can handle himself . besides , you can use this time to get to know your baby sister . dante : mm . okay , yeah . that 's great . that 's -- that 's an offer i ca n't refuse right there . lulu : i 'll see you in a little while . kiki : all right , yeah . morgan : all right . kiki : have fun , morgan . see how much everyone loves you , avery ? people are lining up to spend time with you . madeline : face it , ava -- you 're behind bars and separated from your little girl because of your own actions . ava : i was in hiding . i was gon na leave town once i gave birth . but nina forced me into premature labor with a drug you helped her get . you ruined everything for me -- you and your miserable , psychotic daughter . nina : can you blame me ? that tramp ... got everything she wanted out of my husband , and i was left with nothing . i had to balance the scales . heather : of course . i mean , fair is fair . poor thing . nina : thank you . well , now she 's in prison . she 's in prison , provided she has n't manipulated her way out of it , like she does with everything else . heather : that sounds just like the woman who got her claws into my son . and now i 'm being punished for trying to protect him . and how does he repay me ? with betrayal . he never deserved my loyalty . nina : neither did my husband . i wasted so much time trying to get him to love me . i should 've known from the beginning that franco ... was the only one i could trust . heather : i 'm sorry . did you just say `` franco `` ? sonny : nothing would make me happier than to give you the beatdown you deserve . franco : oh , stop it . come on . you and i , we have a relationship that goes way beyond a fistfight , do n't you think ? i mean , i 'm thinking about something way more painful for you . i know you 're claustrophobic . how long do you think you 'd last in solitary , huh ? tell me . and how long do you think they 're gon na put you in that tiny little cell with no windows when i tell them all about your contraband phone and your plan to bust out ? julian : well , i do n't think you want to do that . franco : really ? try me . guard ! [ kicks door ] franco : guard ! jordan : what are you talking about ? shawn : little things are n't adding up . jordan : such as ? jordan : you being so willing to turn your own people in to the cops . jordan : well , lansing 's life was at stake . shawn : when you were having the conversation with dante outside the hotel room . jordan : i told you , he was harassing me about the ballot box . shawn : and you were so upset when anna devane got fired . jordan : devane was the devil we knew . okay ? with sloane as commissioner , we do n't know who we 're dealing with . shawn : you 've got an answer for everything . jordan : okay . what other reasons could there be ? shawn : you 're a cop . shawn : been racking my brain around this for weeks , and ... it 's the only thing that really makes sense . jordan : it makes sense that i 'm an undercover cop . you and duke had me tamper with an election . if i were a cop , do you think that my boss would really sign off on that ? an election which , by the way , cost my `` very good friend , `` commissioner devane , her job . that 's how you think it went down ? come on . no . continue . please explain . what , i 'm working with sloane instead ? you think that i would let thomas think that i was a drug dealer ? let him think the worst of me if it was n't true ? you really have no idea who i am . shawn : forget it . jordan : you know what ? let 's just ... drop this nonsense , and , um ... let 's dig up this grave . what 's going on here ? franco : i 'll tell you what 's going on here . i would like to apologize for that little shiv incident a month ago . really sorry . and i solemnly swear that you wo n't have any more trouble from me . whatever , freak . franco : `` freak `` ? so ungrateful . you 're ungrateful . you should learn to take yes for an answer . hey . [ cell door closes ] franco : you did n't see that one coming , did you ? me taking the high road like that ? sonny : maybe you just realized that , you know , nobody would believe you . franco : they would believe me enough to keep an extra set of eyes on you , and that would probably be enough to screw up whatever plan you had . but i 'm willing to keep my mouth shut ... for a price . nina : you know franco ? heather : of course i do . i mean , he 's a famous artist . nina : oh , yeah . that 's right . i keep forgetting that . heather : sounds like you know him on a more personal basis . nina : yeah . well , um ... he 's pretty much the only friend that i have left . heather : well , he must be very fond of you . nina : i think so . he -- he really -- he really protected me . i mean ... when i was in a very ... vulnerable place . you know , he really , um ... watched over me when nobody else would . heather : what a shame . he 's not here to watch over you now . ava : you aided and abetted your lunatic daughter as she kidnapped my newborn baby . madeline : i do n't remember it that way . [ sniffles ] i remember that my ... violently disturbed daughter ... forced me against my will to do horrible ... unspeakable things . ava : oh , please ... madeline : my poor baby was over the edge , and ... [ breathes deeply ] ... i feared ... for my life and my son 's life if i did n't cooperate with her . ava : what the hell are you talking about ? madeline : did you like that ? [ sniffles ] that 's the exact performance i 'll give tomorrow when i testify in my own defense . but i do have to remember to bring tissues . nobody likes to see a mother cry . ava : no jury will believe you . madeline : that 's okay . they do n't have to . i have a witness . face it , ava -- i 'm about to walk out of this joint , and you 're stuck here ... forever . michael : you want to throw a party ? fluke : yeah . celebrate the opening day of the new waterfront district . michael : that 's not necessary . fluke : look , you got to learn from the master here , son . [ breathes deeply ] you got to whine and dine the fat cats of this town if you want to line your pockets with their dough . michael : their dough . fluke : donations . this is nonprofit , right ? lucas : mm - hmm . he 's right . elq ca n't write off the clinic every single year , can it ? medical equipment 's expensive . michael : [ sighs ] okay . what the hell ? yeah , let 's do it . let 's -- let 's throw a party . fluke : excellent ! i 'll have lulu get her staff to arrange everything . lulu : you seriously know your drinks . i better watch it . you 'll be running the place . kiki : i hate that my mom and avery are separated . dante : i know . it 's , uh ... got to be tough to be away from your mom , but , uh ... ava did a pretty vicious thing . and my mom and i , we obviously loved connie very much . kiki : i know what my mom did was terrible . it 's just hard for to reconcile the person that we 're talking about right now with the mother who raised me . dante : sure . kiki : i 've been too forgiving lately . i wish michael was the same way . dante : i wish so , as well . i 've never seen him the way he is right now . i think he 's just really hurting . kiki : i know . dante : you guys will figure it out . i mean , i know it 's complicated , but ... kiki : yes , it is . and morgan kissing me did n't help . michael : what 're you doing here ? morgan : was talking to lulu about a job . lulu : i 've been giving morgan a verbal quiz on mixology . if he has the skills to back it up , i 'm gon na hire him as a bartender , keep it in the family . michael : you 're gon na work here . morgan : is that a problem ? michael : you tell me . morgan : maybe we should do this another time . lulu : no , morgan , wait . dad , what are you all even doing here ? fluke : i want to book this place for a party -- you know , to celebrate the completion of the waterfront revitalization project . lulu : that 's a great idea . lucas : yeah . right ? that 's what i thought . this place is perfect for the party . michael : you know , i 'm not so sure anymore . jordan : not that i 'm looking forward to digging up a grave ... shawn : well , by all means , feel free to leave . jordan : you 'd mentioned that sonny called . i 'm gon na guess that ... he asked you to dig up this poor man 's coffin . so , who is this william eckert ? shawn : `` bill `` to his family and friends . we think he 's your old boss . nina : you 're kind of scaring me right now . do ... do i need franco to come here and protect me ? heather : of course not . i 'm sorry , sweetheart . i did n't mean to make you uncomfortable . i just thought you seemed sad , being separated from your friend . nina : my only friend , actually . he -- he tried to get sent here with me . heather : that would 've been interesting . nina : yeah . you know who was afraid ? i was . he said that he 'd be here with me . um ... but the judge did n't buy his insanity defense . heather : that damn brain tumor ... nina : you know about the brain tumor ? heather : sure . i mean , it was all over the news last year . do n't you watch `` access port charles `` ? nina : oh , i -- i was in a coma . heather : interesting . nina : yeah . i think about franco from the minute i wake up . it does n't matter . he 's gone . everything i loved is gone . that 's what i get for trusting my mother . ava : you 'd sell out your own daughter for a `` get out of jail free `` card ? what kind of mother are you ? madeline : look who 's talking . you sold out your eldest more times than i can count . ava : that is not true . madeline : you lied to her about her paternity time after time after time . and for what ? ' the mob ? a piece of elq ? ava : you have no idea why i lied about her father . madeline : then why do n't you enlighten me , ava ? one mother to another . heather : it 's easy to blame the mother for all of another person 's problems . nina : well , no , but in my case , it 's true . um , remember ... i mean , the coma that i mentioned ? uh , my mother put me in the coma . because she wanted -- the baby that i was carrying , she wanted it to die . heather : you 're right . your mother sounds horrible . nina : yeah . she took my entire life away . why would a mother do that to her child ? heather : it 's all right , honey . go ahead . let it all out . i mean , you 've been through a lot , have n't you ? nina : yeah . you 've been so amazing to me . your son does n't know how lucky he is . why could n't i have had a mother like you ? heather : who says you ca n't ? julian : what do you want , franco ? franco : what do i want ? what do i want ? that 's a really good question . sonny : if you want , we can just kill you . franco : yeah , but then they 'd probably , you know , lock down the whole block and then search all the cells . and who knows what they 'd find , right ? would n't it be more expedient for you to just meet my terms ? sonny : that would kind of depend on what your terms are . franco : i want your phone . heather : i know your mother hurt you . but that was in the outside world . in here ... i can be your mother . sonny : i did n't think there 's anyone in the world that you would call . franco : you 've been using a phone to look after your people . i want to use the same phone to look after mine . heather : come to mama . kiki : okay , look -- morgan was really upset after he found dante : so , uh , morgan kissed you recently ? kiki : okay , look -- morgan was really upset after he found out that avery was sonny 's daughter and not his . it did n't mean anything . it ca n't . not after everything that happened last year . dante : but that stuff 's all in the past . i mean , you guys became good friends , right ? kiki : i know . i would n't have gotten through any of this without morgan . dante : maybe you guys are more than friends . kiki : [ chuckles ] that would be complicated . and if michael ever found out , he would hate us even more than he already does . lulu : michael , what 's wrong ? michael : i do n't want to have the party here anymore . morgan : thanks for the job offer , lulu , but obviously this is not a good time . michael : i 'm glad we agree . lucas : michael ... michael , one night . fluke : what is the point of having a new waterfront if nobody knows about it ? michael : morgan knew who shot aj , and he lied to cover it up . it would be a dishonor to this clinic if morgan worked the party . fluke : or you could look at it another way . you could look at it as a new beginning , a fresh start . now , if i can do that with the old house , you can do it with your brother ! michael : i 'm sorry , but i strongly disagree . morgan : i 'm sorry that you ca n't be mature enough to deal with this , michael , honestly . michael : you 've gone this long without a job . what 's one more night , okay ? after the party , i promise you , i wo n't set foot in here again . morgan : that 's fine . i 'm gone . but you know what ? for the record , i think it 's absolutely ridiculous that you ca n't watch me pour drinks for a night , especially when it 's gon na help this cause that 's supposedly so near to your heart . michael : look , i 'll happily hire a freelance bartender for the evening . lulu : you do n't have to do that , michael . i get that this is complicated . i want you to know that dante and i are not taking sides . michael : thank you . look , i 'm sorry for what that was -- whatever that was . lulu : hey , hey , hey . you do n't have to tell a spencer that family is messy . i 'm gon na go after morgan , okay ?

roman : `` when asked about the events of that evening , ms. donovan responded , ' i 'm not sure , it all happened so fast , john came over to talk to brady and me . i -- i thought i should leave them alone but then i heard john attacking brady . and brady , oh , my god , he -- brady , he grabbed the poker . he was just trying to defend himself and he hit john across the head . ' `` marlena : john , is that pretty much what you remember ? john : [ breathes deeply ] is that what happened that night ? no , not really . ben : [ whistling ] jordan : okay , what 's the deal ? ben : with what ? jordan : with being so darn happy . chad : abby . there was a hint of a smile on your face . clearly , you were n't thinking about me . abigail : hi , chad . excuse me . chad : it does n't have to be like this , you know . but if father 's angry now , if he 's licking his chops to get back at ej , then it is all on you . do n't shoot the messenger , sami , just take a good hard look in the mirror . johnny : mommy ! sami : oh , hey ! hey , sweetheart . look at you . johnny : is n't it time to go ? sami : go where ? johnny : to will and sonny 's ! sami : why would we do that ? johnny : for the party . the party for us ! sami : party ? i do n't remember anything about a party but you know what , if you do n't want to go , i 'll call them and tell them you ca n't go . johnny : i wan na go more than anything ! sami : i know you do , me too ! i was just teasing you . but you know what , we 're gon na as soon as daddy gets back , okay ?

johnny : are you and daddy just going to the party ? or are you just gon na drop us off ? ej : we most certainly are going to the party . johnny : daddy , you 're home ! ej : yes , i am . just where i belong . ben : what ? it 's a crime for a guy to be in a good mood ? jordan : oh , no , there are good moods and then there 's this . see , i think you are forgetting , i know like a book . something 's different . ben : jordan , it 's a beautiful indian summer out there . i just got a really great tip a little while ago . i 'm happy , what do you want from me ? jordan : no . you 're in love . ben : [ scoffs ] abigail : well , maybe -- maybe you 're right . maybe , it does n't have to be this way . chad : great -- abigail : but it is , for now anyway , and that 's because you set the tone when you got back . chad : okay , i overreacted . and i also apologize for that . abigail : yeah , yeah , you did . you did and that was good of you but still i -- i think it was more like you let me know how you really feel . chad : well , all right , so we 're just stuck there ? look , i 'm not going anywhere . i do n't think you are , or ben . abigail : hm , ben . there it is . i had a feeling we would get here so you know what , let me just , let me just say this , whatever it is that you think about me or whatever it is that you feel or do n't feel about me , just , just , please , leave ben alone , okay ? chad : what do you mean , at the club ? abigail : i mean everywhere . yes , specifically , at the club . chad : okay , so just now you said i told you how i really felt . well , ben 's made it pretty clear how he feels about me and that is not the kind of respect that you come to expect from your employees , so ... sonny and i had a talk and -- abigail : you bastard . all right , tell me , what is it , what did you do now ? john : theresa ... the way you described that night was wrong . it was so much more intense . so much angrier . i was angrier and if brady had n't picked up that poker to defend himself , i do n't know how far i would have taken it , i was so out of my mind . there 's no other way to put it , i was just in a rage . kristen : what ? john : son , it was all me . you just did what you had to do to try to defend yourself . you 're not to blame for any of this , son . brady : really ? john : oh , really . abigail : you 've got a problem with me , and you 're taking it out on him , and that 's just so low . i should 've known that when you apologized that you did n't actually mean it but you know what , he loves that job and he 's good at that job . you 're just gon na have him fired ? no , i 'm not gon na let you get away with this , chad . what -- let me go ! chad : listen , you 've had your say . now let me have mine . ben : remind me why having a big sister is a good thing again . jordan : oh , apparently , love means you ca n't take any teasing . ben : okay , i never said that word . you did . jordan : ah , you never said it to me but how about to abigail ? oh , come on . it 's so obvious and you know , it 's really fun watching you try and deny it . ben : oh , i 'm glad i could brighten your day . jordan : oh , do i need to remind you , i really like abigail . she 's been a real friend and i have n't had a whole lot of them . ben : well , it 's good to get your approval . jordan : that 's not what i was getting at . i was trying to say do n't screw this up . ben : wow ! words to live by . thank you . you know , i 'm really trying hard not to , okay ? jordan : you know what i would love for you two ? i would love for you two to be crazy happy together . come here . sami : so , we are going ? ej : uh , yes . william made a point of inviting us . sami : so , that 's where you went ? you went to talk to will ? is everything okay for the party ? ej : everything is fine for the party and also , for everything else . sami : really ? ej : really . he 's counting on us being there . sami : okay , well , thank you . ej : also , i have to mention i got a telephone call from sonny on the way here . he wants to come and pick you and take you there himself . all the kids , in fact . sami : he does n't have to do that . johnny : yes , he does ! sami : why ? johnny : it 's fun going with him . he does n't listen to old people music . sami : what ! are the ' 80s old people music ? do n't answer that . ej : huh . it 's fine . you know , actually , i have a couple of errands that i need to do . so sonny can take you and the rest of the gang and i 'll just see you there ? sami : um , i 'm gon na go get changed , i guess , for the party . johnny : tell allie and sydney to hurry . sami : yes , i will do that . johnny : they 're such girls . ej : yes , they are . sami : oh , you 're such a dude . ej : okay , dude . come on , tell me , how was camp ? did you have fun ? johnny : i guess . ej : what do you mean , you guess ? johnny : did you go to camp when you were little ? ej : i did . i went to soccer camp . it was fantastic . i had a great time . johnny : we played soccer too . did the other kids make fun of your name too ? ej : people made fun of the name , johnny ? johnny : no , my other name , dimera . kristen : wow ... that was so emotional , john . what great news . so glad you 're better , huh ? this is really just a time for family though , is n't it ? must be such a relief for you to have that burden lifted off of your shoulders , even though i know that was difficult to hear . i know how worried you were about what you thought happened that night but see , i always knew that those fears were unfounded . it 's great , is n't it ? i mean , finally , all the questions about what happened that night have been answered . must 've been such hell to have that hanging over your head for so long . ej : kids made fun of your name ? which kids ? johnny : older ones . one of them said their dad knew all about us . i did n't know what that meant . but they 're all kind of laughing at me , until the counselor made them stop . ej : johnny ... you have a very special last name . now , it 's a name to be proud of . people , sometimes they say things , you do n't always know why . sometimes they say things just to be mean ... and i ca n't promise you that it wo n't happen again . as you get older , people are going to recognize your name and they are going to react in a certain way . but do n't worry about them because they could just as easily be thinking about your nonno or me . you be your own man . you be a good man and people will respect you for who you are . it does n't matter what your last name is . johnny : of course it 'll matter , daddy . i got my name from you . clyde : hey , i 'm sorry to interrupt . i just , uh , wanted to check in with you , son . make sure everything 's okay . ben : yeah , it 's fine . everything 's fine . clyde : good . well , if you need anything else , you be sure to let me know , all right ? i want you to know , i 'm here for you . and jordan , i 'm glad to see you too . you looked real happy when i came in . i hope things are looking up for you . jordan : `` if you need anything else , `` what was that about ? ben : it was nothing . jordan : no , `` nothing , `` he was way too happy for that to be `` nothing . `` ben : i borrowed a little money from him , okay ? jordan : you borrowed money , why ? abigail : you are trying to take ben 's job away from him so i do n't really care what you have to say -- chad : okay , listen to me . ben has nothing to worry about . he 's not gon na lose his job , all right ? i 'm the one that 's taking a step back at the club . abigail : what ? but -- chad : see what happens when you actually listen ? you find out all sorts of interesting things . abigail : you 're taking a step back , what does that mean ? chad : i -- i talked to sonny and told him that ben and i were n't a good mix . ya know , sonny had said that ben and t have been doing a really great job so i thought about it and i realized that the club had been doing great without me . so , i decided not to go back . abigail : i see . chad : i was really looking forward to it . getting involved again . but it 's sonny 's place now . ya know , so , we reworked the partnership deal . i 'll take a lower percentage , sonny will get a bigger cut . abigail : are you really gon na do this ? chad : you ca n't be gone as long as i have and expect everything to stay the same as when you left , right ? abigail : right ... right . well , uh , i , um ... i should go . chad : um , look , i get it , my stock 's not too high with you right now . abigail : well , maybe it just went up . chad : oh , yeah ? abigail : a little . chad : okay . abigail : yeah , i got ta go . chad : wait , wait . before you go , um , do n't tell ben about this , okay ? abigail : why ? chad : i did n't do it for him . abigail : right . i wo n't say anything to ben . thanks , chad . brady : dad , are you okay ? that seemed to take a lot out of you . john : i 'm tired . it was n't easy but it was necessary . yeah , i think i 'm gon na try to get some rest here but first , can i have a word with my son ? marlena : sure . yeah , get some rest . we 'll talk later . roman : heal up , man . john : thanks . brady : theresa , he wanted a moment alone with me . dad , listen -- john : i know what you 're gon na say but i knew all along that it was n't you . you could n't do that . brady : it 's just the two of us here , okay ? i need you to tell me ... were you lying ? kristen : that was interesting . you said something very wise before about not getting ahead of oneself . daniel : what the hell are you talking about ? john : you 're worried that i 'm taking the blame to protect you . but , brady , you 've got ta trust me . you are not responsible and i swear that that 's the truth . brady : dad , whatever happened that night , i need you to know that it would 've been a much different story if i had had my act together . no , come on , think about it . the drugs , the drinking , the bad decisions . you were trying to help me the whole time . i turned my back on you if i would 've listened to you , it would 've been different . john : stop it , it 's over . from now on , we do n't look backwards anymore . we 're gon na look forward ... both of us . deal ? brady : yeah , it 's a deal . john : deal . marlena : you all right ? theresa : yeah , why would n't i be ? marlena : you seemed a little jumpy in there . before john said what he thought happened . theresa : no , i was just nervous . i was worried about what he might say . i mean , ya know , he just came out of a coma and i 'm not really his favorite person and -- well , i was just worried that he would get confused and misremember what happened . i mean , that could happen , right uncle roman ? roman : i guess so . theresa : yeah , but you know what , i think that we 're all very lucky that john got it all right . i mean , that 's got ta be good news for his continued recovery , right ? brady : dad would like to see you . marlena : all right . thanks , honey . theresa : well , you and kristen looked thick as thieves in there . not to mention all the looks that you were exchanging . what was that all about ? sami : hey , um , johnny , i ca n't ! your sisters , they just will not get ready . will you go hurry them up for me ? johnny : on it . thanks for talking to me , daddy . i love you ! ej : i love you . sami : what 's wrong ? ej : i was thinking about father and this whole mess . sami : it 's different this time , is n't it ? it 's worse . ej : no . sami : you 're really worried . ej : in a way , it 's not . i mean , in a way it 's exactly the same . he 's furious , he 's threatening revenge . but at the end of the day , he 'll come to realize we 're family and the whole thing will settle down . sami : you want that to be true and you want me to think that that 's true but i know you do n't believe it . ej : i do n't know what i would do if he went after you and the children . sami : look , ej , i will talk to him . you know , i 'll try to explain . i will grovel if i have to . ej : no , absolutely not . no , no , no . i opened this door , it will be me who closes it . and i will . please try not to worry . i 'm not going to let anything bad happen to us now that we are finally back together . and ... we have a party to go to . so let 's get happy . sami : [ laughs ] no ! no , please ! stop ! please ! okay , i 'm happy ! ej : happy ? sami : did you really work things out with will ? ej : yeah . i told him to go ahead and write the article . not to worry how i 'd react . sami : i really did not expect you to say that . ej : well , i did n't want to cause any more friction between the two of you and i 'm determined to make us one big , whole , happy family if i have to bring in hired muscle to do it . sami : thank you . thank you .

[ door closes ] daniel : well , uh , let 's talk about your father . [ door slams shut ] abigail : hi ! ben : hi . abigail : hi , uh -- well -- uh , you 're working , obviously , so , um ... ben : no , you do n't have to go or anything . i 'm honestly not that busy . really . abigail : right , oh , yeah . it does n't get crazy here until later , right ? ben : yeah . exactly . later . uh , do you want something to , uh , to drink ? how about , um , damn , how can i not remember what you like to drink . abigail : it 's fine . do n't worry , i ca n't even remember myself right now . i , i do n't like just one thing , ya know ? so , i like lots of different , uh , things so , whatever is good . ben : okay . abigail : okay . ben : one , um , `` whatever `` coming right up . abigail : great . ben : you know what , maybe um , maybe i 'll take it to you outside . abigail : really ? ben : yeah , i mean , it 's a beautiful indian summer out there , right ? go on , i 'll catch up with you . i 'll surprise you . abigail : okay . all right , i 'll see you there . ben : all right . chad : i mean , you just seemed so anxious to get out of here . i mean , it 's been really great getting to know you and , you know , if my issues with your brother bother you at all then ... jordan : no , it 's not you , really , it 's -- i guess i was just a little distracted . do you ever have coffee in your own coffee house ? chad : uh , maybe i 'm just checking out the competition . jordan : or steering clear of my brother ben ? if you ask me , that 's pretty considerate . ej : you set up the meeting ? i can not believe i told that man twice , `` stick to the territory that i assigned you ! `` now , it 's time to lay down the law . kristen : you got me . wow , what a surprise . you were just a little less than truthful , were n't you ? john : and you have such deep regard for the truth . kristen : you know . you know what theresa did to you . i know you do . and still , you 're willing to let her get away with practically killing you because you think that 's gon na keep brady away from me . you know , john , for someone who 's just recently in command , i 've got ta tip my hat . you sized up the situation quickly , you decided how to play your hand but i got ta tell you , john , you made the wrong choice . you decided that theresa is the lesser of two evils but even you have to admit that if she had even slightly better aim , we would n't even be having this conversation right now , would we ? you ... have to live with your choice . and you have to pray that you did n't just put your son 's life in danger . john : good - bye . chad : yeah , i do n't know what 's so sweet about not going to my own club . jordan : well , because you could . you own 1/2 the place . it 's like you do n't want to make waves . chad : you know , you 're probably the only person that i know who thinks that i do n't wan na make waves . ask her . hello , sami . sami : oh , hello . i had no idea you two knew each other . chad : it 's a small town . do you want something ? sami : i 'm looking for ej . he was supposed to meet me here . chad : he went that way , towards the park . sami : did he now , well i 'll got get him . thank you . chad : oh , did he get off the leash again ? sami : you little ... jordan : well , i take back the wave - making thing . that was tense . chad : yeah , sorry . family stuff . i probably should 've just asked her to join us . jordan : no , no , no , no . she kind of ca n't stand me . chad : see , i knew i liked you . something else we have in common . sami : ej ? ej , where the hell are you ? my god , this does n't make any sense . clyde : mr. dimera , your man said you wanted to meet . everything okay ? ej : did you really think that i would n't find out what you were doing ? i told you how this was supposed to work . i gave you explicit orders . clyde : well , maybe your damn orders did n't make any sense . sami : now what ? no signal . damn it . ej : you do n't talk to me like that . you seem to forget who i am and what i represent . clyde : well , you talk a big game but only a fool would be so shortsighted . now , i 'm here to make money . so why do n't you go home to your wife and let me send you your cut . i promise you , you 'll be a happy man . ej : i 'm not going anywhere , mr. weston . not until you understand it 's over . you 're finished . and i 'm not just talking about the territory that i designated you . you 're finished in salem . you 're going to be going home . you 're going back , tonight . clyde : well , golly , ej , i just do n't see that happening . dove invited women to a makeover with a difference . theresa : all right . i do n't know what they 're talking about but who cares ?

[ tense music ] rafe : you know that we should n't be doing this . hope : ca n't stop listening now . he 's gon na make a move soon , i know it . rafe : uh - huh . so if he does , we will stop him using legitimate police techniques . these bugs were planted illegally . even if he confesses to something , we ca n't use it in a court of law ! hope : at least it gives us a heads - up . why are you pushing back on this ? rafe : i 'm not , but i 'm pretty sure that raines said you need to stay at your desk . hope : i ca n't sit at the desk day in and day out entering data . i ca n't do it . i 'm a cop , not an accountant . rafe : okay , yeah , well , if raines finds out about it , you 're gon na be nothing but unemployed . hope : do n't you want to catch him ? rafe : yeah , of course i want to catch him . did you forget , huh ? deimos nearly killed my brother and sister , but i want to catch him with real evidence -- hope : and these devices -- rafe : that i can use in a court of law . hope : yeah , and these devices may lead us to the real evidence we need . rafe : yeah , and what if raines finds out ? hope : it 's a lot easier to ask for forgiveness than perm -- [ radio static ] hope : why do we keep losing the feed ? damn it . i need to know what the hell is going on in there . rafe : you need to chill out . hope : what we need is to nail deimos and bring him down . sonny : do you mind if i post this ? i 'm gon na put a great filter on it . deimos : you really think this is some kind of a joke , do n't you ? i told you that we 're in a war and that you need to pick sides . sonny : and i told you i 'm not going to let you drive this family into the ground . deimos : oh , my god . you are so naive , are n't you ? victor 's protection over you has given you a false sense of invincibility . sonny : i do n't need victor 's protection . deimos : oh , no , no , no , no . see , that 's where you 're wrong . if it were n't for victor , you 'd be gone right now . sonny : is that a threat ? deimos : i do n't need to make threats , sonny . take a good look at my face . i 've got enemies all around me . sonny : who did it ? deimos : the hell does it matter who did it ? it could be any one of them : eduardo hernandez , dario , any of the dimeras . hell , even the police . but the one that cuts the deepest to me are the threats -- the traitors in my own family , like brady , like you . sonny : okay . now you 're just sounding paranoid . deimos : no , no , no , no . it 's not paranoia when the facts have been made very clear to you . my enemies have taken businesses from me . they 've taken money out of my pocket . they 've even stolen the woman i love . but there 's gon na be consequences for all of them . trust me . sonny : what kind of consequences ? deimos : it 's very simple , sonny . i 'm going to eliminate my threats , my enemies , one at a time . in fact , i 'm gon na start right now with you . kate : okay , i 've been running through the numbers on our antiquities business . do you have time to take a look ? chad : yeah . abigail and i were just about to take thomas to the zoo , but ... i have a few minutes . kate : great . chad : [ clears throat ] are these ... profits accurate ? kate : i double checked . impressive , right ? chad : yeah . abigail : am i interrupting something ? chad : no . no , not at all . come -- hey , join us . kate : are you sure ? she 's going to find this a little dry . abigail : oh , no , i want to know everything there is to know about my family 's business . chad : go -- go ahead . kate : very well . [ chuckles ] so as you can see , this business that we ... inherited from deimos kiriakis is becoming one of our most successful acquisitions to date . abigail : it 's okay , kate . i 'm very well aware that the business we took from deimos was stolen antiquities , so you do n't need to speak in code . kate : as i was saying , the items are bringing really incredible prices . chad : yeah , and then we 're gon na make sure that the buyers re -- return all the antiquities to the original country . abigail : mm - hmm , mm - hmm . kate : we should probably rethink that strategy . considering how much money we 're bringing in , i do n't think we want to limit our clients . abigail : but chad promised mr. grozdan , and that is how he convinced him to leave deimos . chad : we 'll get back to that . the courier that got injured . tell me about -- tell me what happened . kate : yes , there was a fight on the loading dock during a transaction , but it 's all taken care of . abigail : well , is he okay ? is he going to survive , or what 's going on ? kate : this is a dangerous business . people get hurt , abigail . abigail : that sounds like something that deimos would say , and i thought we were better than that . hope : rafe ... if we 're not proactive , we 're gon na lose this case to eli and the fbi . rafe : yeah , well maybe that would n't be the worst thing . hope : oh , my god . who are you right now ? i do n't understand you . since when do you shy away from a dangerous case ? rafe : well , since i almost lost you . hope : but you did n't . i am right here in front of you . rafe : okay , i did n't , right . because i did n't , am i supposed to forget about this last year ? am i ? visiting you in prison or hearing about you getting stabbed or shot ? hope : we 're cops . there 's always a risk . rafe : okay , i understand risk . believe me , i understand risk , putting on the badge every morning , but you do n't go looking for trouble , okay ? now , if raines finds out about this illegal bug , you 're gon na be out of a job . hope : i 'm not afraid of him . rafe : okay , enough . what about deimos , hmm ? because now you 're broken the law and you 've made it personal , so all bets are off . hope : then we need to be prepared to fight . rafe : i 'm not ready to lose you . i 'm not . and neither is your family . hope : after everything he 's done , after everything he 's gotten away with , rafe -- rafe : i am not saying that you need to let it go . but there are other ways to get information . we do n't need that illegal bug inside the house . we already have ears inside it . sonny : what are you gon na do ? huh ? you gon na put me in a meat locker and leave me there to die ? gon na have a couple of your goons kidnap me and pump poison into my veins ? deimos : no , i was thinking of something a little more glamorous for you . sonny : what the hell is that supposed to mean ? deimos : well , it 's obvious to me that i ca n't trust you anywhere near titan business . it 's also been made clear to me that victor refuses to let you go . so i 'm just going to reassign you . sonny : reassign me to where ? deimos : congratulations , sonny . you 're the new head of basic black . sonny : i do n't know anything about the fashion industry . deimos : oh , do n't sell yourself short . sonny : i am not qualified to work on the fashion line . deimos : oh , of course you are . fabulous clothes , fabulous people ? you know what ? if you ask me , i think you were born for this . sonny : is this supposed to be an insult ? put the gay nephew in charge of the fashion business ? [ phone beeps ] deimos : you know something , if that 's business related , now that you 're not with titan , you 're obligated to pass that onto me . sonny : it 's `` none of your business `` business . deimos : all right , fine . you have exactly one hour to get your things out of titan 's offices . in the meantime , i 'm gon na be waiting with bated breath to see what you come up with basic black 's summer collection . sonny : [ sighs ] kate : well , i knew it was a mistake for her to stay in the room . she does not understand the nature of our business . chad : can we just have a minute , please , kate ? kate : of course . but look at those numbers and tell me if we 're doing anything wrong . abigail : so what happened to going legit with dimera enterprises ? chad : abigail , it 's a process . abigail : you told me that you wanted to build something that thomas would be proud of some day and that was far removed from your father 's legacy . chad : and i still want that . but we ca n't fight deimos unless we are strong , okay ? that is what he understands : strength . so , yes , i want to go clean , and i want to do things the right way , but until deimos is out of the picture completely , i am gon na do whatever it takes to keep my family safe . okay ? okay ? abigail : i need to run some errands before we go to the zoo , so ... i 'll just -- i 'll met you there . okay ? chad : i promise . abigail : okay . [ ominous music ] kate : so is this our new chain of command ? we run every business decision past our moral compass ? chad : stop . abigail 's a part of the company . kate : i just ca n't help think that gabi would totally understand what we 're doing here . chad : gabi is n't my wife , kate . abigail is , and you need to start respecting that . kate : i have been respectful , but i 'm also a realist . you 're like a son to me , and if i feel that you 're doing something wrong , then i 'm going to say something . abigail : you know , all due respect , kate , but i think you need to shut the hell up and you need stay out of our lives . [ tense music ] [ dramatic music ] dario : hey . eduardo : hey . dario : how 'd that call go ? eduardo : went good . it went really good . got a feeling our cash flow problems are about to be a thing of the past . dario : okay . do you care to tell me how you 're getting this cash ? eduardo : nah , i think it 's better to handle this on my own . dario : you do n't trust me ? eduardo : oh , no , i trust you . it 's just , you know -- no , seriously , man . of course i trust you . you 're my son . dario : all right , so tell me this : whatever you 're doing to get this cash , is it -- is it safe ? eduardo : the day i stop taking risks , you should bury me . we need this , so i got it . not to worry . dario : okay . eduardo : hey , it 's gon na be a brand - new day for the hernandez family . brand- new day , you mark my words . hope : thanks for coming down on short notice . rafe : yeah . any chance deimos followed you ? sonny : no . paul gave me some tips to make sure i 'm not being followed . hope : good . we do n't want him finding out that you 're working with us . sonny : he already thinks i 'm disloyal . rafe : oh , boy . he ever threaten you ? sonny : once or twice , but so far he 's just put me on the bench at titan . hope : i 'm surprised he 's let you stay at all . sonny : uncle vic . i mean , it 's probably the only reason he has n't tried to kill me yet . hope : sonny , have you been able to learn about anything he might be planning next ? sonny : all i know is that deimos is desperate . he 's paranoid . he lost nicole and he blew two big money - making deals . rafe : so he needs cash . sonny : yep , and fast . hope : yeah , which means he 's gon na be taking some chances . rafe : yeah . do you know what he might do to get it ? sonny : no , but i 'm gon na keep sniffing around . it 's just hard because he keeps pushing me away from the heart of the business . rafe : all right . well , just relax . do n't do anything dangerous . sonny : it 's too late for that . let 's just get him , okay ? rafe : okay . hope : thanks again . deimos does n't trust him . if we want to hear what he 's planning next , we need to find out for ourselves . rafe : you really want to put your job on the line for this ? abigail : how many times , kate , hmm ? how many times do i have to hear you badmouthing me in my own house ? kate : i 've been nothing but respectful to you , abigail . abigail : you have barely been respectful to me to my face , but the second that i turn around , you are telling that man , who is my husband , to leave me . you 're telling him to leave me for gabi . kate : i 'm just expressing my feelings . abigail : yeah , and so am i. i sweat to god , kate , if i hear you badmouthing me to that man one more time , you will so be out of this house . kate : excuse me ? abigail : this is my home . this is my home . this living room you 're standing in , it 's mine . it 's a place in which you are a guest because my husband , for whatever reason , has chosen to be gracious .

'cause i noticed the other night you came into my club and starting flirting with some guy right in front of the security camera where you know that i would see , and i did . and i thought to myself , `` what is that woman doing ? she 's trying to make me jealous or what ? `` kate : well , you know , i do n't know what the hell you 're talking about , so ... eduardo : no , no , no . it 's a good sign . it 's cool . i mean , it shows that you still care . kate : this is ridiculous . eduardo : no , no . you know what 's ridiculous ? this game we 're playing is ridiculous . all you have to do is say the word and we can stop this . we can start dancing tonight . and you know ... you know it 'll be good . it 'll be better than either one of us has imagined .

[ dramatic music ] kate : why would she avoid him ? gabi : because he told her he loves her . kate : wow . this is getting more intriguing with each moment . gabi : look , in a perfect world , abigail would fall in love with dario and they 'd be super happy together . kate : then chad would be free to be with you . gabi : [ scoffs ] like i said , in a perfect world , but that does not exist . kate : maybe not , but we could make your world a little more perfect if you 're willing to do the work . gabi : really ? i mean , is your world perfect ? because if it were , then you 'd be with my dad , right ? kate : okay , well , thankfully , we 're not talking about me . gabi : well , we 're not talking about me either . chad is committed to abigail no matter what he feels . so i just have to ... accept that and move on . kate : or stop feeling sorry for yourself and make some changes . because if you want chad back , i can help you . [ dramatic music ] chad : well , i do n't think he 's ever looked better , personally . sonny : but you know he 's going to retaliate . chad : yeah , of course . but he needed to learn that there 'd be consequences for his actions . you come after my company , i 'm gon na come after yours . if you ever come after my family again , then ... well , you might not live to regret it . sonny : i think he got that message loud and clear . chad : good . and he did n't even rat me out ? sonny : no , i mean , he 's got a lot of enemies . some within his own home . chad : what ? including you ? sonny : chad , deimos has been a cancer to my family ever since he got out of prison . it is time that i get rid of him once and for all . chad : tell me what i can do to help . gabi : why are you so anxious to help me get chad away from abigail ? kate : because i think the two of you are perfect for each other , and i would like to see you both happy . gabi : and i bet abigail does n't like you around the house much , does she ? kate : okay . do you want my help or not ? gabi : look , i know you mean well -- thank you -- i do . i appreciate it . but i know how you operate , kate . i know that if you 're meddling in other people 's lives , it 's because you 're trying to avoid what 's going on in your own . kate : [ sighs ] my life is fine . gabi : no , it 's not . my dad loves you . i know this for a fact . and i also know that he does n't go after something that is n't worth it . that 's all i 'm going to say about that . thank you so much for helping me with this business stuff . and the other thing . listen , i will talk to you very , very soon . kate : the offer still stands . you and chad belong together . do n't give up . gabi : you either .

[ dramatic music ] abigail : something like that . [ instrumental music ] chad : i 'm gon na call -- start calling you `` sleepless in salem . `` abigail : what ? chad : yeah , like the movie ? abigail : mmm . `` sleepless in seattle `` ? kind of a chick flick , huh ? surprised you know it . chad : what ? tom hanks , meg ryan ? pfft . man , when they -- when they meet at the top of the empire state building , i 'm just a mess . it gets me every time . abigail : mmm . who knew you were such a softie ? chad : i 'm man enough to admit it . abigail : [ laughs ] chad : thomas , hello . i 'm chad dimera and i love rom - coms . abigail : [ laughs ] oh , man . i love that after all this time i 'm just still learning all kinds of new things about you . chad : but did n't we -- did n't we just watch that not too long ago ? abigail : no . i have n't seen it in years .

[ tense music ] rafe : you know that we should n't be doing this . hope : ca n't stop listening now . he 's gon na make a move soon , i know it . rafe : uh - huh . so if he does , we will stop him using legitimate police techniques . these bugs were planted illegally . even if he confesses to something , we ca n't use it in a court of law ! hope : at least it gives us a heads - up . why are you pushing back on this ? rafe : i 'm not , but i 'm pretty sure that raines said you need to stay at your desk . hope : i ca n't sit at the desk day in and day out entering data . i ca n't do it . i 'm a cop , not an accountant . rafe : okay , yeah , well , if raines finds out about it , you 're gon na be nothing but unemployed . hope : do n't you want to catch him ? rafe : yeah , of course i want to catch him . did you forget , huh ? deimos nearly killed my brother and sister , but i want to catch him with real evidence -- hope : and these devices -- rafe : that i can use in a court of law . hope : yeah , and these devices may lead us to the real evidence we need . rafe : yeah , and what if raines finds out ? hope : it 's a lot easier to ask for forgiveness than perm -- [ radio static ] hope : why do we keep losing the feed ? damn it . i need to know what the hell is going on in there . rafe : you need to chill out . hope : what we need is to nail deimos and bring him down . sonny : do you mind if i post this ? i 'm gon na put a great filter on it . deimos : you really think this is some kind of a joke , do n't you ? i told you that we 're in a war and that you need to pick sides . sonny : and i told you i 'm not going to let you drive this family into the ground . deimos : oh , my god . you are so naive , are n't you ? victor 's protection over you has given you a false sense of invincibility . sonny : i do n't need victor 's protection . deimos : oh , no , no , no , no . see , that 's where you 're wrong . if it were n't for victor , you 'd be gone right now . sonny : is that a threat ? deimos : i do n't need to make threats , sonny . take a good look at my face . i 've got enemies all around me . sonny : who did it ? deimos : the hell does it matter who did it ? it could be any one of them : eduardo hernandez , dario , any of the dimeras . hell , even the police . but the one that cuts the deepest to me are the threats -- the traitors in my own family , like brady , like you . sonny : okay . now you 're just sounding paranoid . deimos : no , no , no , no . it 's not paranoia when the facts have been made very clear to you . my enemies have taken businesses from me . they 've taken money out of my pocket . they 've even stolen the woman i love . but there 's gon na be consequences for all of them . trust me . sonny : what kind of consequences ? deimos : it 's very simple , sonny . i 'm going to eliminate my threats , my enemies , one at a time . in fact , i 'm gon na start right now with you . kate : okay , i 've been running through the numbers on our antiquities business . do you have time to take a look ? chad : yeah . abigail and i were just about to take thomas to the zoo , but ... i have a few minutes . kate : great . chad : [ clears throat ] are these ... profits accurate ? kate : i double checked . impressive , right ? chad : yeah . abigail : am i interrupting something ? chad : no . no , not at all . come -- hey , join us . kate : are you sure ? she 's going to find this a little dry . abigail : oh , no , i want to know everything there is to know about my family 's business . chad : go -- go ahead . kate : very well . [ chuckles ] so as you can see , this business that we ... inherited from deimos kiriakis is becoming one of our most successful acquisitions to date . abigail : it 's okay , kate . i 'm very well aware that the business we took from deimos was stolen antiquities , so you do n't need to speak in code . kate : as i was saying , the items are bringing really incredible prices . chad : yeah , and then we 're gon na make sure that the buyers re -- return all the antiquities to the original country . abigail : mm - hmm , mm - hmm . kate : we should probably rethink that strategy . considering how much money we 're bringing in , i do n't think we want to limit our clients . abigail : but chad promised mr. grozdan , and that is how he convinced him to leave deimos . chad : we 'll get back to that . the courier that got injured . tell me about -- tell me what happened . kate : yes , there was a fight on the loading dock during a transaction , but it 's all taken care of . abigail : well , is he okay ? is he going to survive , or what 's going on ? kate : this is a dangerous business . people get hurt , abigail . abigail : that sounds like something that deimos would say , and i thought we were better than that . hope : rafe ... if we 're not proactive , we 're gon na lose this case to eli and the fbi . rafe : yeah , well maybe that would n't be the worst thing . hope : oh , my god . who are you right now ? i do n't understand you . since when do you shy away from a dangerous case ? rafe : well , since i almost lost you . hope : but you did n't . i am right here in front of you . rafe : okay , i did n't , right . because i did n't , am i supposed to forget about this last year ? am i ? visiting you in prison or hearing about you getting stabbed or shot ? hope : we 're cops . there 's always a risk . rafe : okay , i understand risk . believe me , i understand risk , putting on the badge every morning , but you do n't go looking for trouble , okay ? now , if raines finds out about this illegal bug , you 're gon na be out of a job . hope : i 'm not afraid of him . rafe : okay , enough . what about deimos , hmm ? because now you 're broken the law and you 've made it personal , so all bets are off . hope : then we need to be prepared to fight . rafe : i 'm not ready to lose you . i 'm not . and neither is your family . hope : after everything he 's done , after everything he 's gotten away with , rafe -- rafe : i am not saying that you need to let it go . but there are other ways to get information . we do n't need that illegal bug inside the house . we already have ears inside it . sonny : what are you gon na do ? huh ? you gon na put me in a meat locker and leave me there to die ? gon na have a couple of your goons kidnap me and pump poison into my veins ? deimos : no , i was thinking of something a little more glamorous for you . sonny : what the hell is that supposed to mean ? deimos : well , it 's obvious to me that i ca n't trust you anywhere near titan business . it 's also been made clear to me that victor refuses to let you go . so i 'm just going to reassign you . sonny : reassign me to where ? deimos : congratulations , sonny . you 're the new head of basic black . sonny : i do n't know anything about the fashion industry . deimos : oh , do n't sell yourself short . sonny : i am not qualified to work on the fashion line . deimos : oh , of course you are . fabulous clothes , fabulous people ? you know what ? if you ask me , i think you were born for this . sonny : is this supposed to be an insult ? put the gay nephew in charge of the fashion business ? [ phone beeps ] deimos : you know something , if that 's business related , now that you 're not with titan , you 're obligated to pass that onto me . sonny : it 's `` none of your business `` business . deimos : all right , fine . you have exactly one hour to get your things out of titan 's offices . in the meantime , i 'm gon na be waiting with bated breath to see what you come up with basic black 's summer collection . sonny : [ sighs ] kate : well , i knew it was a mistake for her to stay in the room . she does not understand the nature of our business . chad : can we just have a minute , please , kate ? kate : of course . but look at those numbers and tell me if we 're doing anything wrong . abigail : so what happened to going legit with dimera enterprises ? chad : abigail , it 's a process . abigail : you told me that you wanted to build something that thomas would be proud of some day and that was far removed from your father 's legacy . chad : and i still want that . but we ca n't fight deimos unless we are strong , okay ? that is what he understands : strength . so , yes , i want to go clean , and i want to do things the right way , but until deimos is out of the picture completely , i am gon na do whatever it takes to keep my family safe . okay ? okay ? abigail : i need to run some errands before we go to the zoo , so ... i 'll just -- i 'll met you there . okay ? chad : i promise . abigail : okay . [ ominous music ] kate : so is this our new chain of command ? we run every business decision past our moral compass ? chad : stop . abigail 's a part of the company . kate : i just ca n't help think that gabi would totally understand what we 're doing here . chad : gabi is n't my wife , kate . abigail is , and you need to start respecting that . kate : i have been respectful , but i 'm also a realist . you 're like a son to me , and if i feel that you 're doing something wrong , then i 'm going to say something . abigail : you know , all due respect , kate , but i think you need to shut the hell up and you need stay out of our lives . [ tense music ] [ dramatic music ] dario : hey . eduardo : hey . dario : how 'd that call go ? eduardo : went good . it went really good . got a feeling our cash flow problems are about to be a thing of the past . dario : okay . do you care to tell me how you 're getting this cash ? eduardo : nah , i think it 's better to handle this on my own . dario : you do n't trust me ? eduardo : oh , no , i trust you . it 's just , you know -- no , seriously , man . of course i trust you . you 're my son . dario : all right , so tell me this : whatever you 're doing to get this cash , is it -- is it safe ? eduardo : the day i stop taking risks , you should bury me . we need this , so i got it . not to worry . dario : okay . eduardo : hey , it 's gon na be a brand - new day for the hernandez family . brand- new day , you mark my words . hope : thanks for coming down on short notice . rafe : yeah . any chance deimos followed you ? sonny : no . paul gave me some tips to make sure i 'm not being followed . hope : good . we do n't want him finding out that you 're working with us . sonny : he already thinks i 'm disloyal . rafe : oh , boy . he ever threaten you ? sonny : once or twice , but so far he 's just put me on the bench at titan . hope : i 'm surprised he 's let you stay at all . sonny : uncle vic . i mean , it 's probably the only reason he has n't tried to kill me yet . hope : sonny , have you been able to learn about anything he might be planning next ? sonny : all i know is that deimos is desperate . he 's paranoid . he lost nicole and he blew two big money - making deals . rafe : so he needs cash . sonny : yep , and fast . hope : yeah , which means he 's gon na be taking some chances . rafe : yeah . do you know what he might do to get it ? sonny : no , but i 'm gon na keep sniffing around . it 's just hard because he keeps pushing me away from the heart of the business . rafe : all right . well , just relax . do n't do anything dangerous . sonny : it 's too late for that . let 's just get him , okay ? rafe : okay . hope : thanks again . deimos does n't trust him . if we want to hear what he 's planning next , we need to find out for ourselves . rafe : you really want to put your job on the line for this ? abigail : how many times , kate , hmm ? how many times do i have to hear you badmouthing me in my own house ? kate : i 've been nothing but respectful to you , abigail . abigail : you have barely been respectful to me to my face , but the second that i turn around , you are telling that man , who is my husband , to leave me . you 're telling him to leave me for gabi . kate : i 'm just expressing my feelings . abigail : yeah , and so am i. i sweat to god , kate , if i hear you badmouthing me to that man one more time , you will so be out of this house . kate : excuse me ? abigail : this is my home . this is my home . this living room you 're standing in , it 's mine . it 's a place in which you are a guest because my husband , for whatever reason , has chosen to be gracious . [ sighs ] do n't wear out your welcome . kate : are you all right with her talking to me like this ? abigail : this -- [ stammering ] mm - mm . [ chuckles ] this is between you and me . i know you think i 'm just some goodie - goodie horton , that i do n't know anything about business , i 'm an idiot , i do n't know what i 'm doing , but i 'm telling you right now -- you want to mess with me , hmm ? you want to mess with my family ? you want to mess with my marriage ? then you 're gon na learn what it 's like to be on my bad side . i will see you later ? chad : yes , ma'am .

[ low instrumental music ] kate : hey , where 's chloe ? hanging upside down taking a nap ? eduardo : no , i treated her to a day of pampering at the spa . she deserves it . kate : oh , she deserves more than that . how about to be run over by a rusty lawn mower ? that 'd be nice . eduardo : oh , no , i think the girl has gotten a bad rap , you know ? she 's really got a good heart , among her other attributes . kate : you know , i do know what you 're doing . trying to bother me . eduardo : and am i bothering you ? kate : actually , you are . eduardo : hmm . kate : because chloe and i have a long history , and most of it 's bad . eduardo : well , what can i say ? i like her . although i will admit that my main objective in life is and has been to win you . kate : well , that 's not working . eduardo : really ? 'cause i noticed the other night you came into my club and starting flirting with some guy right in front of the security camera where you know that i would see , and i did . and i thought to myself , `` what is that woman doing ? she 's trying to make me jealous or what ? `` kate : well , you know , i do n't know what the hell you 're talking about , so ... eduardo : no , no , no . it 's a good sign . it 's cool . i mean , it shows that you still care . kate : this is ridiculous . eduardo : no , no . you know what 's ridiculous ? this game we 're playing is ridiculous . all you have to do is say the word and we can stop this . we can start dancing tonight . and you know ... you know it 'll be good . it 'll be better than either one of us has imagined .

[ dramatic music ] kate : why would she avoid him ? gabi : because he told her he loves her . kate : wow . this is getting more intriguing with each moment . gabi : look , in a perfect world , abigail would fall in love with dario and they 'd be super happy together . kate : then chad would be free to be with you . gabi : [ scoffs ] like i said , in a perfect world , but that does not exist . kate : maybe not , but we could make your world a little more perfect if you 're willing to do the work . gabi : really ? i mean , is your world perfect ? because if it were , then you 'd be with my dad , right ? kate : okay , well , thankfully , we 're not talking about me . gabi : well , we 're not talking about me either . chad is committed to abigail no matter what he feels . so i just have to ... accept that and move on . kate : or stop feeling sorry for yourself and make some changes . because if you want chad back , i can help you .

eve : as if you care . julian : believe it or not , i do . you were half right about me . there is something i want from you , but it 's not all that self - serving . why do you think i 'm helping you fix the car so t.c . wo n't know about the accident ? eve : probably so i 'll be eternally in your debt . it 's not going to work , julian . one of these days , you 're going to have to learn that you ca n't buy everything you want with a crane credit card . julian : you have me wrong , eve . now , sit down and hear me out . well , you ca n't go anywhere , anyway , until the mechanic finishes up the car . julian : when i said that i would be here for you , it 's not a manipulation in the sense you mean . i want you to be happy . and if a side effect of that is making you like me again , then all the better . but it 's not a condition of the offer . you see , i -- i want to be your friend . eve : a friend ? julian : i do n't know if you 've noticed , but i really do n't have many . eve : well , as far as i know , you 've never had a single one . julian : then perhaps it 's time i did . eve : i 'm sorry , julian . you chose the wrong person , because i know you too well . julian : well , i was hoping that might work in my favor , vice versa . i know you very well , too , eve . better than anyone in harmony . i know you and i care about you -- past mistakes and all . eve : most of those mistakes were with you . julian : that 's the point . i owe you . i could n't stand seeing you in pain earlier , worrying that you were going to lose your family , your marriage , even your job . and i ca n't bear the fact that what we shared years ago is what 's threatening your life right now . i love you , eve . eve : oh -- do n't -- you ca n't possibly -- julian : i know you doubt me because you do n't think i have a heart . father and grandfather spent years teaching me to pretend that i was born without one , but it 's there , small and rotted though it may be . i know it exits for a fact because it was shattered when i lost you . eve : that was a long time ago , julian . julian : and i have felt very little of anything for anyone ever since . which is why it 's so important for me to be here for you now . let me make up for all the pain i caused you in the past , in the present . my love for you is real , eve . please believe me . t.c . : end my marriage with eve ? absolutely not . when i said that it was time for a change , i mean i 'm going to take the first step to end all this fighting right now . i 'm going to give her a call and tell her to come home so we can talk . liz : t.c . , now , you said yourself that she 's probably at the hospital . now , it would be very difficult for her to leave an emergency . so -- look , t.c . , yodo n't want to lay that kind of pressure on her again tonight , do you ? t.c . : liz , eve and i have years of love , understanding , and trust . surely we can sit down and come to some kind of common ground . liz : yes , all -- all i 'm saying is that you do n't want to rush things . you know , she was so upset when she left here that i 'm sure she just needs a little time alone to st through things . after all , if talking is going to work , you want it to be when she 's calm and rational . t.c . : yeah , but , liz , the longer we wait , the bigger the rift is going to be between us . liz : t.c . , i 'm a woman . now , women handle their hurt and frustration differently . she just needs a little time , a little space to heal . t.c . : huh . ok , so this is one of those mars and venus things , right ? liz : exactly . t.c . : all right . i wo n't call . but if eve comes home , just tell her i 'm in the backyard . liz : will you be in the shed ? t.c . : what do you know about the shed ? liz : not much . just that 's where you go when you 're upset . what 's in the shed , t.c . ? t.c . : why do you care about what 's in the shed ? liz : t.c . , i did n't mean to pry . the only reason i asked is because i care about you . t.c . : even the girls do n't know why i go out there because they know that it 's personal . if i wanted to tell them , i would . so they know not to ask . liz : i 'm sorry , t.c . i really am . listen , i know what it 's like to want to keep your private life private . listen , the last thing i would want to do is upset you more than you already are . t.c . : liz , i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to snap at you . it 's just that i 'm not used to someone asking me about the shed . liz : yeah , i understand . t.c . : liz , i 'm -- i 'm sorry . maybe -- maybe it 's time that i do talk to someone about why i go out there . might be easier to talk to someone who is not family about certain things . liz : you mean you would confide in me ? t.c . : why not ? there 's no one outside of my family i trust more . julian : i love you more than i 've ever loved anyone else in my life . it 's been that way since the first night i laid eyes on you in that club , first time i heard you sing . you were like an angel . from that moment , i knew i wanted to be with you . i curse myself every day for not having the guts to stand up to my father when he forbade me from ever seeing you again . i was too weak to fight for what i knew would make me happy . as a result , i lost you , i hurt you , and i hurt myself . that 's why i want to make up for it now . that 's why i want to be your friend . mrs. wallace : oh . my daughter is about to commit murder , and the simian caregiver she has sicced on me is about to make a fruit smoothie ! no one would believe this ! oh , god . i have got to do something , but what am i going to -- i 'm going to write an s.o.s . note about d daughter being a homicidal maniac . and then -- then i 'll toss it -- toss it -- i 'll toss it outside here , and then maybe a passerby will come by and they 'll find it and they 'll get to the police before beth can commit murder . beth : what are you doing , mother ? mrs. wallace : a bug . i 'm throwing out an ugly bug . this caregiver that you hired for me is crawling with fleas ! beth : well , no , that 's -- that 's your imagination because precious here got an a in grooming in nursing school . yeah . anyway , do n't you want to hear about my trip to the hospital ?

you 're drawing attention to us . eve : i do n't give a damn . julian : well , you should . you still have a reputation and a life to protect . you do n't want it getting back to t.c . that we were seen having coffee together , do you ? eve : as if you care . julian : believe it or not , i do . you were half right about me . there is something i want from you , but it 's not all that self - serving . why do you think i 'm helping you fix the car so t.c . wo n't know about the accident ? eve : probably so i 'll be eternally in your debt . it 's not going to work , julian . one of these days , you 're going to have to learn that you ca n't buy everything you want with a crane credit card . julian : you have me wrong , eve . now , sit down and hear me out . well , you ca n't go anywhere , anyway , until the mechanic finishes up the car . julian : when i said that i would be here for you , it 's not a manipulation in the sense you mean . i want you to be happy . and if a side effect of that is making you like me again , then all the better . but it 's not a condition of the offer . you see , i -- i want to be your friend . eve : a friend ? julian : i do n't know if you 've noticed , but i really do n't have many . eve : well , as far as i know , you 've never had a single one . julian : then perhaps it 's time i did . eve : i 'm sorry , julian . you chose the wrong person , because i know you too well . julian : well , i was hoping that might work in my favor , vice versa . i know you very well , too , eve . better than anyone in harmony . i know you and i care about you -- past mistakes and all . eve : most of those mistakes were with you . julian : that 's the point . i owe you . i could n't stand seeing you in pain earlier , worrying that you were going to lose your family , your marriage , even your job . and i ca n't bear the fact that what we shared years ago is what 's threatening your life right now . i love you , eve . eve : oh -- do n't -- you ca n't possibly -- julian : i know you doubt me because you do n't think i have a heart . father and grandfather spent years teaching me to pretend that i was born without one , but it 's there , small and rotted though it may be . i know it exits for a fact because it was shattered when i lost you . eve : that was a long time ago , julian . julian : and i have felt very little of anything for anyone ever since . which is why it 's so important for me to be here for you now . let me make up for all the pain i caused you in the past , in the present . my love for you is real , eve . please believe me . t.c . : end my marriage with eve ? absolutely not . when i said that it was time for a change , i mean i 'm going to take the first step to end all this fighting right now . i 'm going to give her a call and tell her to come home so we can talk . liz : t.c . , now , you said yourself that she 's probably at the hospital . now , it would be very difficult for her to leave an emergency . so -- look , t.c . , yodo n't want to lay that kind of pressure on her again tonight , do you ? t.c . : liz , eve and i have years of love , understanding , and trust . surely we can sit down and come to some kind of common ground . liz : yes , all -- all i 'm saying is that you do n't want to rush things . you know , she was so upset when she left here that i 'm sure she just needs a little time alone to st through things . after all , if talking is going to work , you want it to be when she 's calm and rational . t.c . : yeah , but , liz , the longer we wait , the bigger the rift is going to be between us . liz : t.c . , i 'm a woman . now , women handle their hurt and frustration differently . she just needs a little time , a little space to heal . t.c . : huh . ok , so this is one of those mars and venus things , right ? liz : exactly . t.c . : all right . i wo n't call . but if eve comes home , just tell her i 'm in the backyard . liz : will you be in the shed ? t.c . : what do you know about the shed ? liz : not much . just that 's where you go when you 're upset . what 's in the shed , t.c . ? t.c . : why do you care about what 's in the shed ? liz : t.c . , i did n't mean to pry . the only reason i asked is because i care about you . t.c . : even the girls do n't know why i go out there because they know that it 's personal . if i wanted to tell them , i would . so they know not to ask . liz : i 'm sorry , t.c . i really am . listen , i know what it 's like to want to keep your private life private . listen , the last thing i would want to do is upset you more than you already are . t.c . : liz , i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to snap at you . it 's just that i 'm not used to someone asking me about the shed . liz : yeah , i understand . t.c . : liz , i 'm -- i 'm sorry . maybe -- maybe it 's time that i do talk to someone about why i go out there . might be easier to talk to someone who is not family about certain things . liz : you mean you would confide in me ? t.c . : why not ? there 's no one outside of my family i trust more . julian : i love you more than i 've ever loved anyone else in my life . it 's been that way since the first night i laid eyes on you in that club , first time i heard you sing . you were like an angel . from that moment , i knew i wanted to be with you . i curse myself every day for not having the guts to stand up to my father when he forbade me from ever seeing you again . i was too weak to fight for what i knew would make me happy . as a result , i lost you , i hurt you , and i hurt myself . that 's why i want to make up for it now . that 's why i want to be your friend . mrs. wallace : oh . my daughter is about to commit murder , and the simian caregiver she has sicced on me is about to make a fruit smoothie ! no one would believe this ! oh , god . i have got to do something , but what am i going to -- i 'm going to write an s.o.s . note about d daughter being a homicidal maniac . and then -- then i 'll toss it -- toss it -- i 'll toss it outside here , and then maybe a passerby will come by and they 'll find it and they 'll get to the police before beth can commit murder . beth : what are you doing , mother ? mrs. wallace : a bug . i 'm throwing out an ugly bug . this caregiver that you hired for me is crawling with fleas ! beth : well , no , that 's -- that 's your imagination because precious here got an a in grooming in nursing school . yeah . anyway , do n't you want to hear about my trip to the hospital ? it was a knockout success . mrs. wallace : oh -- beth : i have right here more than enough drug to kill sheridan . i just -- i have to figure out a way -- mrs . wallace : oh -- beth : to administer it . beth : excellent idea , precious ! death by banana smoothie . oh , i love it !

sam : i finally got the boiler working . carly : great . sam : for the time being , anyway . carly : well , it 's good to have the heat back on . sam : yeah . carly : now all we need are some warm bodies in here . we need customers , sam . we need customers now . sam : you know , the only way we 're going to get a crowd in here is if we have live music . carly : i think you 're right . so it 's a good thing that we have a band booked for the week . and let 's just hope that business picks up once they get here , or the only music we 're going to have is me singing the blues . sam : well , it may come down to that . this band is the last one we have booked . carly : well , who are we going to get to perform for the rest of the month ? sam : you know , i happen to have some contacts in chicago . and i was thinking that maybe , you know , you and i could take a little business road trip and see if we can find some new talent and get this place packed . the sooner , the better . carly : you want us to go to chicago ? sam : yeah . yeah , kit can hold down the fort , and i think we can find some real talent . carly : oh , boy . i 'd love to go to chicago , sam , but i ca n't go with you . craig : oh , looks like emily 's picking up right where dusty left off , throwing a lot of wild accusations around , sticking her nose in where she does n't belong . after what happened at the contract signing , memo 21 ca n't handle any more bad publicity . chris : oh , i know , i know . ever since we broke up , emily 's been out to get me . and now , she 's got paul ryan doing her dirty work for her . craig : they 're a bad combination . we 're going to have to watch our backs . chris : i 'm not going to let emily stewart ruin my reputation at the hospital . craig : that 's all the more reason for you to get back to memorial , focus on the good work you 're doing there . chris : can i leave it up to you to handle paul and emily ? craig : yeah . i 'll take care of that . chris : what are you planning ? craig : nothing . i 'm just going to protect my investment , that 's all . i 'm not going to let emily stewart or paul ryan get in our way . emily : why do i listen to you ? i made it worse going to margo . it was just a mistake . paul : did you tell her about chris ? emily : yes , i did . paul : and she did n't buy it ? emily : no , she didn't . she did n't buy it . i think i made things worse for myself , because now , if chris is innocent , i 'm the prime suspect . paul : all the more reason for you to get the goods on chris and his involvement with craig . that way , we clear your name . emily : clear my name ? that would be really nice . i mean , it 's a nice sentiment , but i really do n't think that 's going to happen this time . craig : you know , if you are trying to clean up your image , i would suggest you drop your new accomplice . paul : oh , that 's rich . craig montgomery 's giving you advice on how to maintain a reputation . emily : what do you want , craig ? craig : i just think you should be careful making accusations you ca n't back up . throwing around false rumors , that 's very dangerous , emily . especially for you . since all those nasty , dirty rumors about you ? those are all true . meg : luke . i did n't know you went out . luke : noah 's in there studying for a test . i thought i would surprise him with a rocky road banana split . it 's his favorite . meg : paul always loved rocky road . luke : you miss him , do n't you ? meg : i miss the way things might have been . luke : well , is there any chance for the two of you ? meg : no . luke : do you still blame him for the -- for the miscarriage ? meg : no , no , it 's not that . i 'm just making some big changes in my life . i need to move forward , not back . luke : oh , i get that . i do . but , you know , it 's really hard finding someone to love . i guess that 's why i 'm so happy that i have noah . meg : have i told you how happy i am for you ? luke : well , thank you . but , look at my mom and dad for instance . you know , things were really tough with them , and now my dad 's accused of this murder that we all know he did n't commit . and my mom is sticking by him . all i 'm saying is that life is hard . why make it harder by choosing to be alone ? carly : of course , it would be nice to get out of oakdale and hear some music . but , you know , with the troubles that parker 's been having lately , i ca n't leave town . and i can only imagine how he would react if he knew that i was going away with you . i mean , it was hard enough for me to explain to him why you 'd still be working here . sam : well , i suppose you would n't have to mention it to him . we 're only gone for a few days . carly : of course i 'd have to mention it to him . i would n't keep a secret like that . sam : i understand . you 're right , i 'm sorry . i do n't want to force anything -- carly : why do n't you go to chicago with kit ? you know , you have n't had any time alone with her since she 's been back . and you know , it could be a business trip and romantic getaway , huh ? sam : yeah . are you sure that it 's okay if we left town ? leaving you here all alone . carly : oh , of course it 's okay . and you do want to spend the time with kit , right ? sam : oh yeah , of course . in fact , i was going to suggest that in the first place , but i just did n't want you to think that i was , you know , taking advantage . carly : do n't be silly . you 've been working so hard here , you deserve a break . so why do n't you go get yourself packed , and i 'll give kit the good news . paul : did you just threaten emily ? craig : you tried to pin dusty 's murder on chris . but all that was a smokescreen to protect yourself . emily : if chris had something to do with dusty 's murder , it would be criminal not to report my suspicions . craig : you know , this whole scorned lover routine is getting old . you need new material . oh , and you , paulie -- you seem willing to just back anybody who 's willing to take me on . now i got ta admit , i really do admire the plot . you know , you get the good doctor on trumped up charges , you both get what you want . you get revenge on a lover , you get a blow at montgomery enterprises . but i will tell you both one last time that it wo n't succeed . so , back off . or you will pay the price . emily : wow , he was in rare form . paul : you know , i heard evan and chris talking last night . and i think they 're staring to feel the pressure . emily : so in order to protect his investment , craig is protecting chris . paul : either that , or he 's protecting himself . lily : no wonder neil was so paranoid about being followed . the killer must 've been trailing him when he came to meet me . holden : i told you it was too dangerous for you to go alone . lily : oh , my god , if i had gotten there a little earlier -- that could 've been me dead in that trunk . holden : from this point on , i am not letting you out of my sight . margo : well , i just got the forensics report from the autopsy on that lab technician . it 's just preliminary results , but apparently he died of a lethal injection . lily : just like dusty . margo : yep . it 's a great possibility . we wo n't know for a few hours . the lab will call us back . but it seems that you two have found yourself in the middle of another murder . so , shall we call a lawyer before we begin questioning ? lily : what are you saying ? you think we had something to do with this ? captioning sponsored by procter & gamble productions , inc . and cbs here 's why beano is different than these gas relievers . holden : do you really believe that we 're capable of killing someone ? margo : well , holden , you have already been charged with one murder . and it 's the same mo . lily : holden did not kill dusty . margo : you two are right smack dab of yet another murder in this town . how -- how did you stumble across this body ? lily : neil . neil called me . he said he wanted me to meet him . he said he had some information on an investigation he was conducting for dusty . holden : right . and dusty told this neil guy to contact lily if anything happened to him . margo : what was he doing for dusty ? lily : all i know is he was analyzing some residue found on a coffee mug . and neil must 've had some evidence to back up dusty 's claim , or he would n't have tried so hard to reach me . he was adamant about meeting me alone , which makes me believe that he knew how serious his involvement was in all of this . holden : that 's everything we know . what have you found out about this guy ? margo : his name is neil perkins . he is the lab technician that donovan was calling repeatedly the night that he was murdered , and we 've been trying to track him down ever since . holden : and whoever found out about neil 's investigation would stop at nothing to make sure that those results do n't go public . margo : mm - hmm , that 's quite a little motive you got there , holden . you two and donovan were the only ones that were in contact with perkins . holden : do you really believe that we would turn ourselves in if we were responsible for his murder ? margo : stranger things have happened . paul : look , we both know what craig is capable of , and it 's not like he has n't attempted homicide before . and i just feel with everything that he 's lost , especially in the last couple months , he 's going to protect whatever he has left by any means necessary . emily : when are you going to get over your obsession with craig montgomery ? honest to god , any time something bad happens , you automatically assume he 's to blame . not that he 's not capable of absolutely anything . paul : exactly . at the very least , he 's linked to dusty 's murder . if nothing else , he could lead us to whoever really did kill dusty . emily : okay , so what 's the bottom line ? paul : the bottom line is , we figure out who killed dusty , and we can both reap the benefits . meg : i am not choosing to be alone , i 'm just turning a corner in my life . first , i need to untangle myself from craig , personally and professionally . and i need to take stock . i need to figure out what i really want to do . i know i ca n't be with paul . we just ca n't give each other what we need . luke : but you still love him , do n't you ? meg : it 's complicated . look , right now , i know i need to be here for my family . especially for holden . luke : you know , that 's what i really love about this family . we all stick together . noah never had that . i think that 's why he likes living here so much . meg : you two are getting closer , are n't you ? luke : well , not as close as we 'd like . grandma 's rules -- separate bedrooms . meg : is that a problem ? luke : i do n't know , maybe it 's good . you know , taking things slow . meg : well , it can be more exciting that way . luke : yeah , i guess . noah and i are invited to this party at a lake house . but then we heard that it was going to be pretty wild , so we decided not to go . the first time noah and i are together , i want it -- i do n't know , i want it to be special . meg : well , it sounds like you made the right choice . luke : i guess so . meg : you know , if you do want a relationship to last , you ca n't rush it . you have to make sure that he 's the one . luke : oh , i 'm pretty he is . we just -- we fit together . you know , like , i like him , he likes me . emotionally , intellectually , i just feel like we really balance each other out . meg : yeah , i know exactly what you mean . you know , when you are with the right person , your strengths and weaknesses balance out . with paul , it felt more like we hit each other 's weaknesses . luke : well , i know you 'll figure out what you want , aunt meg . you deserve to be happy . you sure i ca n't entice you with a delicious banana split ? meg : no thanks , i think i 'll pass . luke : i guess you just have to wait until mr . right comes along . meg : yeah , thanks . i know i 'm making the right choice , so i 'll just see where it takes me . luke : well , i hope it takes you somewhere good . meg : yeah , me , too . because one of these days , i want to be as happy as you are . luke : you will . carly : your girlfriend seems very excited to spend some quality time with you on the road . she 's already booking your hotel rooms . sam : yeah , that 's my kit cat . carly : sounds like you 're gon na have a really nice time . sam : do n't worry . our first priority will be booking bands . carly : of course . i know you wo n't let me down , sam . now , would you mind watching the place for a little while ? parker had a session with his tutor , i have to pick him up , and i promised i 'd get him some hot cocoa on the way home . sam : sure , no problem . take your time . carly : thanks . sam : there we go . yeah , can i speak to the band manager , please ? you guys are booked at metro this week . and i 'm sorry , but something has come up , and we 're going to have to cancel . i know , i know . it turns out , we just do n't need a band . sorry about that . carly : hey . how was your session ? parker : it was okay . carly : just okay ? you know , we got you that tutor to help you get your grades up . maybe what you need is incentive . parker : what do you mean ? carly : well , kit and sam are going out of town for a few days on business , so i 'm gon na be on my own at the club . it 'd sure be nice to have somebody there to help me . so here 's the deal . if you pass that science test tomorrow , then you can come and work at metro for me after school . now , it 'll just be for a few hours , and you still have to do all your homework . but i 'll pay you just like any other employee . what do you think , is that incentive enough ? parker : i guess that 'd be okay . kit : baby , get ready to hear some of the sweetest sounds your ears have ever heard . i 'm sure the bands will be good , too . sam : oh , i just wish we had taken this trip a week ago . and then we would n't be in the pickle that we 're in right now . kit : do n't tell me -- sam : the band that we booked just canceled at the last minute . kit : oh , you 've got to be kidding me . they 're supposed to bring in a big crowd . sam : i know . kit : did they tell you why they had to pull out ? sam : no , no , they just said they were sorry that they had to cancel . kit : if we do n't have somebody on stage tomorrow night , this place could lose more than we could afford . sam : i know . i wish there was something i could do . you know , i 'd offer to play the gig myself , but we 're going to be in chicago . kit : i guess our romantic getaway is a no - no . we have to stay here and be on stage , baby . i do n't see any other way out . at least with you here , we can break even for the week . sam : but what about all those appointments that you set up in chicago ? kit : i guess i 'll just have to go scouting on my own . you can stay here with carly and the bar . margo : you two are free to go . but i do n't think i have to remind you , do n't leave town . lily : you really do n't think that holden did this , do you ? margo : i want to find another suspect . you two are n't making it easy . holden : let 's go . dallas : we just finished searching perkin 's condo . we got his computer with a bunch of files on the hard drive , and some old documents we found in his home office . we 're going through everything to find any clue about the work he was doing for dusty . margo : okay . let 's just hope it gives us something that leads us to a killer . dallas : wait , are you taking lily and holden snyder off the suspect list ? margo : no , no , i 'm not , i 'm not . but you know , they do n't fit the profile . and they said themselves , why would they turn themselves in ? so , i guess we have to start looking for another suspect . dallas : okay . what about emily stewart ? margo : no -- emily stewart . she 's the only one who actually has an alibi . she was here with me when perkins was killed . dallas : all right . well then , who does that leave on the suspect list ? margo : my brother - in - law , chris hughes . paul : montgomery enterprises stands to make millions on the memo 21 project . that to me is profit enough to be motive for craig to commit murder . emily : and since he 's funding the entire project , it makes sense that he would want to keep all the negative publicity off of chris . paul : you need to go get whatever you can from craig . emily : wait , wait , wait . i 'm sorry , what did you just say ? i need to ? why me ? paul : yeah , well , because if i go do it , then there 'll just be another murder for someone else to come run around and try to solve . emily : fine , fine , fine , i will go . what are you going to do ? paul : me ? i think i figured out a way to finally end craig 's reign of terror . emily : how are you going to do that ? paul : by hitting him where it hurts . [ knock at the door ] meg : paul , you really should n't have come here . paul : meg , you got ta hear me out . is that the hearty chicken rotini diet ? carly : of course , you 're underage , so it 's not like you 're gon na be serving martinis , but there are plenty of things that you can do . parker : can i be a bouncer and work the rope line at the door ? let in all the hot chicks . or i could help the bartenders get ice . carly : that sounds more like it . parker : you know , working here is going to be cool . sam : hey . carly : hi . sam , thank you so much for watching the place while i was gone . now you can go and pack . parker and i can take it from here . sam : well , actually , there 's been a slight change of plans . the band that we booked just canceled . carly : we have a party , do n't we ? we guaranteed them live music . i do n't want to lose that reservation . sam : i know . kit and i talked about it , and she thinks that i should stay here and play the gig . and she 'll end up going to chicago by herself . i know that 's not what you wanted , but at least now we wo n't lose any money . parker : i knew sam would never leave . forget the job . i do n't want it . lily : this feels like a complete nightmare . why do i feel like the worst is yet to come ? holden : i think what you need to do is get some rest . you know what ? i 'm going to call your mother . lily : why do you need to talk to my mother ? holden : lily , i think you should get out of town and just let all of this blow over . lily : i can't . not now . i thought we were in this together . holden : two people have been killed , and i do n't want you to be next . paul : how are you ? meg : fine . you know , busy getting my life back together . you ? paul : you know , we could do that together -- meg : you know , don't . don't . paul , please , i ca n't go through this with you again , okay ? and if that 's why you came here , you 're just wasting your time . paul : no , actually , i came here because i want to talk to you about craig . i think he might be behind dusty 's murder . meg : nothing ever changes with you , does it ? you 're still out to get craig . well , do n't expect me to help you . emily : i know i 'm the last person you want to hear from , but i 'm here to tell you that you are making a huge mistake backing chris hughes . craig : really ? and why is that ? emily : because the new face of your little investment happens to be a murderer . craig : is that so ? emily : you 're investing in a man who tried to kill his own father , craig , and then murdered dusty donovan because he found out about it , and possibly the lab technician who was found dead in the trunk of his car because someone -- hmm , who could it be -- found out he was holding information for dusty . craig : emily , i know that you publish a tabloid , but that story is too farfetched even for `` the intruder . `` why are you telling me this ? and why do you think i would care ? emily : because i know that craig montgomery wants to back winners . and you , my friend , are betting on the wrong horse . chris hughes is going down , so if you were smart , you would get out while you can . otherwise , you and your little company are going right down with him . paul : meg , i 'm not out to get craig or anybody else . this is really -- you know , this just has to do with holden , really . meg : holden ? paul : yes , your brother 's being charged with dusty 's murder . and i thought that if we could prove that craig had something to do with it , then holden would be off the hook . meg : right . holden had nothing to do with dusty 's murder , and i would bet the farm that the police will discover that any moment now . what i am curious about , though , is why you felt you had to come all the way out here to share your suspicions about craig with me . paul : meg , look , i know that you were close with dusty , and your brother is being accused of murdering him . silly me , i thought you might want to who might really be responsible . meg : okay , so if that were true and craig is guilty of murder , why not just go to the police ? why come to me ? it 's not like there 's anything i can do . paul : actually , meg , there is . [ alarm clock beeping ] carly : parker ! would you give me a second , please ? parker : ca n't you see what this guy is doing , mom ? he 's making up every excuse that he can to be alone with you ! carly : parker , i think that you 're overreacting . sam wanted to go away with kit . he was really looking forward to it . the only reason he 's staying is because the band canceled on us and we needed somebody to fill in . sam did n't deliberately do any of this . now honey , with kit gone and sam performing , i 'm going to be short - staffed , so if you 'd still like to work with me , i 'd really -- parker : no way . carly : i wish you could see that sam 's just trying to help . parker : yeah . as long as that guy 's there , i do n't want to be . carly : okay . can i at least get you that cup of hot chocolate i owe you ? parker : no thanks . got ta go . carly : can i have a medium hazelnut , milk , one sugar , please ? sam : all right , there you go . thanks for coming in . what can i get for you ? singer : how about another gig ? you canceled us at the last minute . sam : whoa . yeah , sorry about that . something came up . i 'll tell you what , though . we can book your band some time next month . singer : how do i know you wo n't cancel us again ? i mean , we had to turn down a bunch of other gigs to play here . which is why we expect to be paid the full amount . sam : well , that 's not going to happen . see , cash flow 's a little tight right now . but the best we can do is reschedule you sometime next month . singer : this is a rip - off . you know , i want to talk to the owners . get them out here . sam : they 're not here right now . look , i 'll tell you what , i will pay you for the first night only . there you go . but after this little run in , you better not show your face around here again . singer : i do n't plan to . parker : i knew you were a liar . sam : what 're you doing back here again ? parker : i just saw you pay that guy off . and i was right all along . you 're just trying to get close to my mom . and now , i have proof . meg : i really have no control over what craig does anymore . i never really did . paul : actually , you do . you still own his company , do n't you ? meg : on paper , maybe . but i do n't want to be associated with craig anymore . and that 's why i 'm meeting with the lawyer to finalize transfer of the company back to him . paul : no , no , no , meg . you ca n't do that . you can't . look , as long as you control craig 's company , you control his money . montgomery enterprises is bankrolling evan walsh and the research that they 're doing at memorial for chris hughes . without craig 's support , the project will fall apart . meg : so what does this have to do with dusty 's murder ? paul : look , for some reason , dusty was trying to stop the research that they were doing at the hospital . and craig never would 've stood for that . meg : do you really think craig killed dusty ? paul : well , i 'm not sure . but look , if you separate craig from his company , then the project will fall apart , and then someone will show their true colors , and maybe we 'll catch a killer . meg : you know , why should i even consider doing this for you , and put myself in the middle of you and craig again ? paul : you do n't do this for me . do this for yourself . it 's a chance for us to figure out who really killed dusty . and if it works , holden will be in the clear . it 's just -- it 's just something for you to think about . craig : you are so predictable , emily . you 're throwing around accusations just to take the heat off yourself . but it 's not going to do you any good . emily : you sure about that ? craig : face it , emily . when it comes to trying to kill people , you have a track record that 's very hard to beat . now , you 're running scared . and i do n't blame you . you see , you had an affair with dusty donovan , and it went bad in a very big , very public way . and think that if anybody 's going to be implicated in his murder , that would be you . chris : i ca n't believe this . my own sister - in - law is accusing me of committing murder . margo : well , i 'm not the one making the accusation . chris : no , no , but i know who is . emily . but why would you listen to her ? margo : because it 's my job . when someone makes an accusation , i have to investigate . and if you 're innocent , and i certainly hope that you are , you 'll be clear . chris : well , considering the source of these so - called allegations , you should have rejected them . you of all people -- why would you listen to her ? you know how she operates . margo : yes , i certainly do . but i 'm trying to find a murderer here . so i 'm going to keep asking questions until i find him . or her . lucinda : what 's going on ? i got your message , darling . lily : i think you 'd better sit down . lucinda : oh no , please , do n't keep me in suspense . holden : last night , we got a call from a lab technician who was working with dusty . he said he had information for us . lily : but by the time we could catch up with him , he was -- he was dead . we found his body in the trunk of a car . holden : he was killed with what appears to be the same lethal injection that was used on dusty . lucinda : are you two all right ? lily : yes . holden : yes , yes . luckily , lily was n't hurt . lucinda : did you go to the police , dear ? lily : of course we did . holden : look , there 's a pattern here . it started with bob 's stroke . dusty gets suspicious . then dusty is killed . the lab technician that dusty 's working with also gets killed . lily was a link to all this . i 'm afraid that she might be next . lucinda : no , no , we ca n't let that happen . holden : i agree . we need to figure out who did this . lucinda : dusty was right all along . i should 've listened to him . holden : you said he suspected that there was foul play at the hospital . lily : mother , you 're on the board . i mean , what could be going on at the hospital that would make someone so desperate they 'd want to kill for it ? u saw , but i guarantee sam : i do n't know what you think you saw , but i guarantee you 've got it all wrong . parker : no , i don't . i 've been watching you , and now i can prove to everyone what a creep you are . sam : you have nothing , parker . and besides , who would believe you at this point ? you have called me out so many times and always been proven wrong . and i guarantee this time will be no different . parker : why do n't we find out , then ? sam : go ahead . and while you 're at it , why do n't you tell your therapist ? yeah , i heard you were seeing one . i guess that means everybody thinks you 're a little crazy . take my advice -- stop telling stories . otherwise , your parents will have to send you away . is that what you want ? parker : what i want is for you to leave my mom alone ! kit : hey . carly : hi . i thought you were busy packing . kit : yeah , i was . i just thought i 'd take break . listen , i 'm glad i caught up with you . i just want to say i really appreciate you letting sam stay here in oakdale . i know jack and parker ai n't exactly keen on the guy . carly : well , i think as long as we keep parker away from sam , we 'll be all right . kit : i hope so . you know , it 's great being back with sam . i guess being away kind of made me realize just how crazy i am about him . i really missed him . we 've been together a long time , and we 've been through a whole lot . carly : well , i think it 's great that you guys are still together . i know it 's a lot harder than it looks . kit : yeah , sure is . i know that sam has a roving eye , but i overlook it . it do n't mean nothing . he 's just a big old flirt , that 's all . carly : as far as i can see , sam only has eyes for you . kit : yeah . well , if sam gets interested in another woman , then that 's where i draw the line , you hear what i 'm saying ? carly : i do n't think you have to worry about sam . kit : great . it 's good to know i can trust you with my man , carly . i can trust you , right ? carly : definitely . you do n't have to worry . sam is all yours . sam : i do n't think your parents would be too happy if they knew you snuck back in here just to spy on me . in fact , i doubt they 'd even listen to what you 'd have to say . parker : they 'll believe me . do n't worry . sam : parker , when are you going to get it ? i 'm not such a bad guy . if you keep your mouth shut , i wo n't tell your folks about your little spy games here . parker : yeah , i do n't need any favors from you . cowboy jack : i told you that kid was trouble . you 're gon na have to do somethin ' about that nosey little brat . sam : and i know just what to do . but you 're not going to like it . paul : how 'd it go ? emily : it was a complete waste of time . i did n't get through to craig . i mean , nothing i said seemed to bother him . in fact , he managed to turn everything around on me . how 'd it go with meg ? hello ! how 'd it go with meg ? paul : i think it went great . yeah , i think i finally got through to meg . and i think craig 's gon na lose his company , and memo 21 is going to lose its funding , and the whole research project at the hospital 's gon na fall through . and then , if that happens , hopefully somebody 's going to get ticked off enough that they show their hand . then -- then , we can catch ourselves a killer . lucinda : well , the biggest thing that 's going on at the hospital that 's new right now is the memo 21 , spearheaded by chris hughes . but -- no , i mean , and son of bob hughes is incomprehensible that he 'd be capable of doing anything . holden : well , is there anything to lead you to suspect someone else ? lucinda : darling , if i had suspected anyone , i would have gone to the police . holden : all right , in the meantime , is it possible for you to take lily out of town ? i do n't want anything to happen to her . lucinda : yes , absolutely . i think that 's an excellent idea . i know a wonderful medical spa . lily : do i get a say in this ? holden : no , you don't . [ cell phone rings ] lucinda : just a minute . hang on . no . yeah ? meg : lucinda ? can you come out to the farm ? i need to see you right away . and there 's something we really need to discuss . lucinda : actually , i am rather busy at this time . meg : it 's urgent . lucinda : okay , i 'll be there . lily : is everything all right ? lucinda : i will be all right . you will be all right . we will be all right . i promise . graduates lil entrees are ... sam : hey there , beautiful . i was just checking the boiler . kit : what 's up with the lights ? sam : well , we did n't have any customers , so i thought we 'd just shut down for a while . i figured you and i could use a little alone time before you left town . kit : you read my mind . sam : well , you seem to be in a good mood . kit : i am , baby . i feel real good . maybe you can bring cowboy jack along and he could tell me a joke or two so i have something to remember you by on the road . sam : no , no , no , no , let 's leave cowboy jack out of this . it 's just you and me . besides , cowboy jack is busy doing his own thing . meg : hi . thank you for coming here so quickly . lucinda : well , you said it was urgent . meg : okay , i 've been doing a lot of thinking . trying to get my life back in order and trying to put things right again . i know you were cheated out of your company when craig gave it to me . and i know , i accepted it . but the truth is , i had no right to it . in fact , i do n't want it anymore . and i was going to give it back to craig , but that wo n't be making things right . lucinda : wait , wait , wait , wait , wait . just a moment . what exactly are you trying to say to me ? meg : if you want the company , lucinda , it 's yours . lucinda : that 's wonderful . that 's absolutely -- i 'm so glad that the thinking has been productive . that 's just wonderful . i think you 've done absolutely the right thing . i just wish that you 'd done it months ago , before -- meg : before what ? lucinda : oh , it does n't matter . it does n't matter anymore . that does n't matter . what matters is the company is in the right hands -- mine . okay , fine . tomorrow morning , then ? we 'll settle the legal paperwork . that 's wonderful news . thank you . meg : you 're welcome . lucinda : thank you . it 's mrs . walsh , here . i need to see you right away . chris : you went to the police ? i just got done getting the third degree from margo , asking me about a dead lab technician . apparently someone 's been saying that i 'm a murderer . emily : all right , just calm down -- chris : i know exactly what it is you 're trying to do and you are not going to get away with it . the gloves are off . consider yourself warned . paul : well , for someone who says he 's innocent , he sure acts like he 's got a lot to hide . lucinda : we 're going to call the whole thing off . announcer : on the next `` as the world turns `` -- gwen : she kidnapped our child . we 're here to get her back . aaron : it 's time to go back , sofie . sam : i hate to even say this . was it your son again ? parker : tell them the truth , you creep . tell them you set me up ! holden : margo , something 's happened to lily . i 'm afraid that she might be in danger . | sam cancels the band that is booked for the week at metro so he will have to stay and help carly at the club . parker sees sam paying one of the band members for the day and then sam warns parker not to tell carly or jack or they will have to send him away . cowboy jack tells sam they have to get rid of the rotten brat so later sam sneaks into carly 's house and puts cowboy jack in the fireplace planning to blame parker so that jack and carly will send parker to boot camp . holden and lily are put on the suspect list when margo finds out that the lab technician was killed with the same drug as dusty . margo later sets holden and lilly free and they tell lucinda about the test results the lab technician had regarding bob 's coffee cup . paul and emily plan to let craig lead them to dusty 's killer since they think that dusty was killed because he wanted to stop the research project at the hospital . paul persuades meg to give lucinda the company back so that the hospital project wo n't happen and they can see what craig will do next . lucinda is thrilled to get her company back and goes to the hospital she goes inside the lab and tells herself she will stop the research project . | <s>[INST] sam : i finally got the boiler working . carly : great . sam : for the time being , anyway . carly : well , it 's good to have the heat back on . sam : yeah . carly : now all we need are some warm bodies in here . we need customers , sam . we need customers now . sam : you know , the only way we 're going to get a crowd in here is if we have live music . carly : i think you 're right . so it 's a good thing that we have a band booked for the week . and let 's just hope that business picks up once they get here , or the only music we 're going to have is me singing the blues . sam : well , it may come down to that . this band is the last one we have booked . carly : well , who are we going to get to perform for the rest of the month ? sam : you know , i happen to have some contacts in chicago . and i was thinking that maybe , you know , you and i could take a little business road trip and see if we can find some new talent and get this place packed . the sooner , the better . carly : you want us to go to chicago ? sam : yeah . yeah , kit can hold down the fort , and i think we can find some real talent . carly : oh , boy . i 'd love to go to chicago , sam , but i ca n't go with you . craig : oh , looks like emily 's picking up right where dusty left off , throwing a lot of wild accusations around , sticking her nose in where she does n't belong . after what happened at the contract signing , memo 21 ca n't handle any more bad publicity . chris : oh , i know , i know . ever since we broke up , emily 's been out to get me . and now , she 's got paul ryan doing her dirty work for her . craig : they 're a bad combination . we 're going to have to watch our backs . chris : i 'm not going to let emily stewart ruin my reputation at the hospital . craig : that 's all the more reason for you to get back to memorial , focus on the good work you 're doing there . chris : can i leave it up to you to handle paul and emily ? craig : yeah . i 'll take care of that . chris : what are you planning ? craig : nothing . i 'm just going to protect my investment , that 's all . i 'm not going to let emily stewart or paul ryan get in our way . emily : why do i listen to you ? i made it worse going to margo . it was just a mistake . paul : did you tell her about chris ? emily : yes , i did . paul : and she did n't buy it ? emily : no , she didn't . she did n't buy it . i think i made things worse for myself , because now , if chris is innocent , i 'm the prime suspect . paul : all the more reason for you to get the goods on chris and his involvement with craig . that way , we clear your name . emily : clear my name ? that would be really nice . i mean , it 's a nice sentiment , but i really do n't think that 's going to happen this time . craig : you know , if you are trying to clean up your image , i would suggest you drop your new accomplice . paul : oh , that 's rich . craig montgomery 's giving you advice on how to maintain a reputation . emily : what do you want , craig ? craig : i just think you should be careful making accusations you ca n't back up . throwing around false rumors , that 's very dangerous , emily . especially for you . since all those nasty , dirty rumors about you ? those are all true . meg : luke . i did n't know you went out . luke : noah 's in there studying for a test . i thought i would surprise him with a rocky road banana split . it 's his favorite . meg : paul always loved rocky road . luke : you miss him , do n't you ? meg : i miss the way things might have been . luke : well , is there any chance for the two of you ? meg : no . luke : do you still blame him for the -- for the miscarriage ? meg : no , no , it 's not that . i 'm just making some big changes in my life . i need to move forward , not back . luke : oh , i get that . i do . but , you know , it 's really hard finding someone to love . i guess that 's why i 'm so happy that i have noah . meg : have i told you how happy i am for you ? luke : well , thank you . but , look at my mom and dad for instance . you know , things were really tough with them , and now my dad 's accused of this murder that we all know he did n't commit . and my mom is sticking by him . all i 'm saying is that life is hard . why make it harder by choosing to be alone ? carly : of course , it would be nice to get out of oakdale and hear some music . but , you know , with the troubles that parker 's been having lately , i ca n't leave town . and i can only imagine how he would react if he knew that i was going away with you . i mean , it was hard enough for me to explain to him why you 'd still be working here . sam : well , i suppose you would n't have to mention it to him . we 're only gone for a few days . carly : of course i 'd have to mention it to him . i would n't keep a secret like that . sam : i understand . you 're right , i 'm sorry . i do n't want to force anything -- carly : why do n't you go to chicago with kit ? you know , you have n't had any time alone with her since she 's been back . and you know , it could be a business trip and romantic getaway , huh ? sam : yeah . are you sure that it 's okay if we left town ? leaving you here all alone . carly : oh , of course it 's okay . and you do want to spend the time with kit , right ? sam : oh yeah , of course . in fact , i was going to suggest that in the first place , but i just did n't want you to think that i was , you know , taking advantage . carly : do n't be silly . you 've been working so hard here , you deserve a break . so why do n't you go get yourself packed , and i 'll give kit the good news . paul : did you just threaten emily ? craig : you tried to pin dusty 's murder on chris . but all that was a smokescreen to protect yourself . emily : if chris had something to do with dusty 's murder , it would be criminal not to report my suspicions . craig : you know , this whole scorned lover routine is getting old . you need new material . oh , and you , paulie -- you seem willing to just back anybody who 's willing to take me on . now i got ta admit , i really do admire the plot . you know , you get the good doctor on trumped up charges , you both get what you want . you get revenge on a lover , you get a blow at montgomery enterprises . but i will tell you both one last time that it wo n't succeed . so , back off . or you will pay the price . emily : wow , he was in rare form . paul : you know , i heard evan and chris talking last night . and i think they 're staring to feel the pressure . emily : so in order to protect his investment , craig is protecting chris . paul : either that , or he 's protecting himself . lily : no wonder neil was so paranoid about being followed . the killer must 've been trailing him when he came to meet me . holden : i told you it was too dangerous for you to go alone . lily : oh , my god , if i had gotten there a little earlier -- that could 've been me dead in that trunk . holden : from this point on , i am not letting you out of my sight . margo : well , i just got the forensics report from the autopsy on that lab technician . it 's just preliminary results , but apparently he died of a lethal injection . lily : just like dusty . margo : yep . it 's a great possibility . we wo n't know for a few hours . the lab will call us back . but it seems that you two have found yourself in the middle of another murder . so , shall we call a lawyer before we begin questioning ? lily : what are you saying ? you think we had something to do with this ? captioning sponsored by procter & gamble productions , inc . and cbs here 's why beano is different than these gas relievers . holden : do you really believe that we 're capable of killing someone ? margo : well , holden , you have already been charged with one murder . and it 's the same mo . lily : holden did not kill dusty . margo : you two are right smack dab of yet another murder in this town . how -- how did you stumble across this body ? lily : neil . neil called me . he said he wanted me to meet him . he said he had some information on an investigation he was conducting for dusty . holden : right . and dusty told this neil guy to contact lily if anything happened to him . margo : what was he doing for dusty ? lily : all i know is he was analyzing some residue found on a coffee mug . and neil must 've had some evidence to back up dusty 's claim , or he would n't have tried so hard to reach me . he was adamant about meeting me alone , which makes me believe that he knew how serious his involvement was in all of this . holden : that 's everything we know . what have you found out about this guy ? margo : his name is neil perkins . he is the lab technician that donovan was calling repeatedly the night that he was murdered , and we 've been trying to track him down ever since . holden : and whoever found out about neil 's investigation would stop at nothing to make sure that those results do n't go public . margo : mm - hmm , that 's quite a little motive you got there , holden . you two and donovan were the only ones that were in contact with perkins . holden : do you really believe that we would turn ourselves in if we were responsible for his murder ? margo : stranger things have happened . paul : look , we both know what craig is capable of , and it 's not like he has n't attempted homicide before . and i just feel with everything that he 's lost , especially in the last couple months , he 's going to protect whatever he has left by any means necessary . emily : when are you going to get over your obsession with craig montgomery ? honest to god , any time something bad happens , you automatically assume he 's to blame . not that he 's not capable of absolutely anything . paul : exactly . at the very least , he 's linked to dusty 's murder . if nothing else , he could lead us to whoever really did kill dusty . emily : okay , so what 's the bottom line ? paul : the bottom line is , we figure out who killed dusty , and we can both reap the benefits . meg : i am not choosing to be alone , i 'm just turning a corner in my life . first , i need to untangle myself from craig , personally and professionally . and i need to take stock . i need to figure out what i really want to do . i know i ca n't be with paul . we just ca n't give each other what we need . luke : but you still love him , do n't you ? meg : it 's complicated . look , right now , i know i need to be here for my family . especially for holden . luke : you know , that 's what i really love about this family . we all stick together . noah never had that . i think that 's why he likes living here so much . meg : you two are getting closer , are n't you ? luke : well , not as close as we 'd like . grandma 's rules -- separate bedrooms . meg : is that a problem ? luke : i do n't know , maybe it 's good . you know , taking things slow . meg : well , it can be more exciting that way . luke : yeah , i guess . noah and i are invited to this party at a lake house . but then we heard that it was going to be pretty wild , so we decided not to go . the first time noah and i are together , i want it -- i do n't know , i want it to be special . meg : well , it sounds like you made the right choice . luke : i guess so . meg : you know , if you do want a relationship to last , you ca n't rush it . you have to make sure that he 's the one . luke : oh , i 'm pretty he is . we just -- we fit together . you know , like , i like him , he likes me . emotionally , intellectually , i just feel like we really balance each other out . meg : yeah , i know exactly what you mean . you know , when you are with the right person , your strengths and weaknesses balance out . with paul , it felt more like we hit each other 's weaknesses . luke : well , i know you 'll figure out what you want , aunt meg . you deserve to be happy . you sure i ca n't entice you with a delicious banana split ? meg : no thanks , i think i 'll pass . luke : i guess you just have to wait until mr . right comes along . meg : yeah , thanks . i know i 'm making the right choice , so i 'll just see where it takes me . luke : well , i hope it takes you somewhere good . meg : yeah , me , too . because one of these days , i want to be as happy as you are . luke : you will . carly : your girlfriend seems very excited to spend some quality time with you on the road . she 's already booking your hotel rooms . sam : yeah , that 's my kit cat . carly : sounds like you 're gon na have a really nice time . sam : do n't worry . our first priority will be booking bands . carly : of course . i know you wo n't let me down , sam . now , would you mind watching the place for a little while ? parker had a session with his tutor , i have to pick him up , and i promised i 'd get him some hot cocoa on the way home . sam : sure , no problem . take your time . carly : thanks . sam : there we go . yeah , can i speak to the band manager , please ? you guys are booked at metro this week . and i 'm sorry , but something has come up , and we 're going to have to cancel . i know , i know . it turns out , we just do n't need a band . sorry about that . carly : hey . how was your session ? parker : it was okay . carly : just okay ? you know , we got you that tutor to help you get your grades up . maybe what you need is incentive . parker : what do you mean ? carly : well , kit and sam are going out of town for a few days on business , so i 'm gon na be on my own at the club . it 'd sure be nice to have somebody there to help me . so here 's the deal . if you pass that science test tomorrow , then you can come and work at metro for me after school . now , it 'll just be for a few hours , and you still have to do all your homework . but i 'll pay you just like any other employee . what do you think , is that incentive enough ? parker : i guess that 'd be okay . kit : baby , get ready to hear some of the sweetest sounds your ears have ever heard . i 'm sure the bands will be good , too . sam : oh , i just wish we had taken this trip a week ago . and then we would n't be in the pickle that we 're in right now . kit : do n't tell me -- sam : the band that we booked just canceled at the last minute . kit : oh , you 've got to be kidding me . they 're supposed to bring in a big crowd . sam : i know . kit : did they tell you why they had to pull out ? sam : no , no , they just said they were sorry that they had to cancel . kit : if we do n't have somebody on stage tomorrow night , this place could lose more than we could afford . sam : i know . i wish there was something i could do . you know , i 'd offer to play the gig myself , but we 're going to be in chicago . kit : i guess our romantic getaway is a no - no . we have to stay here and be on stage , baby . i do n't see any other way out . at least with you here , we can break even for the week . sam : but what about all those appointments that you set up in chicago ? kit : i guess i 'll just have to go scouting on my own . you can stay here with carly and the bar . margo : you two are free to go . but i do n't think i have to remind you , do n't leave town . lily : you really do n't think that holden did this , do you ? margo : i want to find another suspect . you two are n't making it easy . holden : let 's go . dallas : we just finished searching perkin 's condo . we got his computer with a bunch of files on the hard drive , and some old documents we found in his home office . we 're going through everything to find any clue about the work he was doing for dusty . margo : okay . let 's just hope it gives us something that leads us to a killer . dallas : wait , are you taking lily and holden snyder off the suspect list ? margo : no , no , i 'm not , i 'm not . but you know , they do n't fit the profile . and they said themselves , why would they turn themselves in ? so , i guess we have to start looking for another suspect . dallas : okay . what about emily stewart ? margo : no -- emily stewart . she 's the only one who actually has an alibi . she was here with me when perkins was killed . dallas : all right . well then , who does that leave on the suspect list ? margo : my brother - in - law , chris hughes . paul : montgomery enterprises stands to make millions on the memo 21 project . that to me is profit enough to be motive for craig to commit murder . emily : and since he 's funding the entire project , it makes sense that he would want to keep all the negative publicity off of chris . paul : you need to go get whatever you can from craig . emily : wait , wait , wait . i 'm sorry , what did you just say ? i need to ? why me ? paul : yeah , well , because if i go do it , then there 'll just be another murder for someone else to come run around and try to solve . emily : fine , fine , fine , i will go . what are you going to do ? paul : me ? i think i figured out a way to finally end craig 's reign of terror . emily : how are you going to do that ? paul : by hitting him where it hurts . [ knock at the door ] meg : paul , you really should n't have come here . paul : meg , you got ta hear me out . is that the hearty chicken rotini diet ? carly : of course , you 're underage , so it 's not like you 're gon na be serving martinis , but there are plenty of things that you can do . parker : can i be a bouncer and work the rope line at the door ? let in all the hot chicks . or i could help the bartenders get ice . carly : that sounds more like it . parker : you know , working here is going to be cool . sam : hey . carly : hi . sam , thank you so much for watching the place while i was gone . now you can go and pack . parker and i can take it from here . sam : well , actually , there 's been a slight change of plans . the band that we booked just canceled . carly : we have a party , do n't we ? we guaranteed them live music . i do n't want to lose that reservation . sam : i know . kit and i talked about it , and she thinks that i should stay here and play the gig . and she 'll end up going to chicago by herself . i know that 's not what you wanted , but at least now we wo n't lose any money . parker : i knew sam would never leave . forget the job . i do n't want it . lily : this feels like a complete nightmare . why do i feel like the worst is yet to come ? holden : i think what you need to do is get some rest . you know what ? i 'm going to call your mother . lily : why do you need to talk to my mother ? holden : lily , i think you should get out of town and just let all of this blow over . lily : i can't . not now . i thought we were in this together . holden : two people have been killed , and i do n't want you to be next . paul : how are you ? meg : fine . you know , busy getting my life back together . you ? paul : you know , we could do that together -- meg : you know , don't . don't . paul , please , i ca n't go through this with you again , okay ? and if that 's why you came here , you 're just wasting your time . paul : no , actually , i came here because i want to talk to you about craig . i think he might be behind dusty 's murder . meg : nothing ever changes with you , does it ? you 're still out to get craig . well , do n't expect me to help you . emily : i know i 'm the last person you want to hear from , but i 'm here to tell you that you are making a huge mistake backing chris hughes . craig : really ? and why is that ? emily : because the new face of your little investment happens to be a murderer . craig : is that so ? emily : you 're investing in a man who tried to kill his own father , craig , and then murdered dusty donovan because he found out about it , and possibly the lab technician who was found dead in the trunk of his car because someone -- hmm , who could it be -- found out he was holding information for dusty . craig : emily , i know that you publish a tabloid , but that story is too farfetched even for `` the intruder . `` why are you telling me this ? and why do you think i would care ? emily : because i know that craig montgomery wants to back winners . and you , my friend , are betting on the wrong horse . chris hughes is going down , so if you were smart , you would get out while you can . otherwise , you and your little company are going right down with him . paul : meg , i 'm not out to get craig or anybody else . this is really -- you know , this just has to do with holden , really . meg : holden ? paul : yes , your brother 's being charged with dusty 's murder . and i thought that if we could prove that craig had something to do with it , then holden would be off the hook . meg : right . holden had nothing to do with dusty 's murder , and i would bet the farm that the police will discover that any moment now . what i am curious about , though , is why you felt you had to come all the way out here to share your suspicions about craig with me . paul : meg , look , i know that you were close with dusty , and your brother is being accused of murdering him . silly me , i thought you might want to who might really be responsible . meg : okay , so if that were true and craig is guilty of murder , why not just go to the police ? why come to me ? it 's not like there 's anything i can do . paul : actually , meg , there is . [ alarm clock beeping ] carly : parker ! would you give me a second , please ? parker : ca n't you see what this guy is doing , mom ? he 's making up every excuse that he can to be alone with you ! carly : parker , i think that you 're overreacting . sam wanted to go away with kit . he was really looking forward to it . the only reason he 's staying is because the band canceled on us and we needed somebody to fill in . sam did n't deliberately do any of this . now honey , with kit gone and sam performing , i 'm going to be short - staffed , so if you 'd still like to work with me , i 'd really -- parker : no way . carly : i wish you could see that sam 's just trying to help . parker : yeah . as long as that guy 's there , i do n't want to be . carly : okay . can i at least get you that cup of hot chocolate i owe you ? parker : no thanks . got ta go . carly : can i have a medium hazelnut , milk , one sugar , please ? sam : all right , there you go . thanks for coming in . what can i get for you ? singer : how about another gig ? you canceled us at the last minute . sam : whoa . yeah , sorry about that . something came up . i 'll tell you what , though . we can book your band some time next month . singer : how do i know you wo n't cancel us again ? i mean , we had to turn down a bunch of other gigs to play here . which is why we expect to be paid the full amount . sam : well , that 's not going to happen . see , cash flow 's a little tight right now . but the best we can do is reschedule you sometime next month . singer : this is a rip - off . you know , i want to talk to the owners . get them out here . sam : they 're not here right now . look , i 'll tell you what , i will pay you for the first night only . there you go . but after this little run in , you better not show your face around here again . singer : i do n't plan to . parker : i knew you were a liar . sam : what 're you doing back here again ? parker : i just saw you pay that guy off . and i was right all along . you 're just trying to get close to my mom . and now , i have proof . meg : i really have no control over what craig does anymore . i never really did . paul : actually , you do . you still own his company , do n't you ? meg : on paper , maybe . but i do n't want to be associated with craig anymore . and that 's why i 'm meeting with the lawyer to finalize transfer of the company back to him . paul : no , no , no , meg . you ca n't do that . you can't . look , as long as you control craig 's company , you control his money . montgomery enterprises is bankrolling evan walsh and the research that they 're doing at memorial for chris hughes . without craig 's support , the project will fall apart . meg : so what does this have to do with dusty 's murder ? paul : look , for some reason , dusty was trying to stop the research that they were doing at the hospital . and craig never would 've stood for that . meg : do you really think craig killed dusty ? paul : well , i 'm not sure . but look , if you separate craig from his company , then the project will fall apart , and then someone will show their true colors , and maybe we 'll catch a killer . meg : you know , why should i even consider doing this for you , and put myself in the middle of you and craig again ? paul : you do n't do this for me . do this for yourself . it 's a chance for us to figure out who really killed dusty . and if it works , holden will be in the clear . it 's just -- it 's just something for you to think about . craig : you are so predictable , emily . you 're throwing around accusations just to take the heat off yourself . but it 's not going to do you any good . emily : you sure about that ? craig : face it , emily . when it comes to trying to kill people , you have a track record that 's very hard to beat . now , you 're running scared . and i do n't blame you . you see , you had an affair with dusty donovan , and it went bad in a very big , very public way . and think that if anybody 's going to be implicated in his murder , that would be you . chris : i ca n't believe this . my own sister - in - law is accusing me of committing murder . margo : well , i 'm not the one making the accusation . chris : no , no , but i know who is . emily . but why would you listen to her ? margo : because it 's my job . when someone makes an accusation , i have to investigate . and if you 're innocent , and i certainly hope that you are , you 'll be clear . chris : well , considering the source of these so - called allegations , you should have rejected them . you of all people -- why would you listen to her ? you know how she operates . margo : yes , i certainly do . but i 'm trying to find a murderer here . so i 'm going to keep asking questions until i find him . or her . lucinda : what 's going on ? i got your message , darling . lily : i think you 'd better sit down . lucinda : oh no , please , do n't keep me in suspense . holden : last night , we got a call from a lab technician who was working with dusty . he said he had information for us . lily : but by the time we could catch up with him , he was -- he was dead . we found his body in the trunk of a car . holden : he was killed with what appears to be the same lethal injection that was used on dusty . lucinda : are you two all right ? lily : yes . holden : yes , yes . luckily , lily was n't hurt . lucinda : did you go to the police , dear ? lily : of course we did . holden : look , there 's a pattern here . it started with bob 's stroke . dusty gets suspicious . then dusty is killed . the lab technician that dusty 's working with also gets killed . lily was a link to all this . i 'm afraid that she might be next . lucinda : no , no , we ca n't let that happen . holden : i agree . we need to figure out who did this . lucinda : dusty was right all along . i should 've listened to him . holden : you said he suspected that there was foul play at the hospital . lily : mother , you 're on the board . i mean , what could be going on at the hospital that would make someone so desperate they 'd want to kill for it ? u saw , but i guarantee sam : i do n't know what you think you saw , but i guarantee you 've got it all wrong . parker : no , i don't . i 've been watching you , and now i can prove to everyone what a creep you are . sam : you have nothing , parker . and besides , who would believe you at this point ? you have called me out so many times and always been proven wrong . and i guarantee this time will be no different . parker : why do n't we find out , then ? sam : go ahead . and while you 're at it , why do n't you tell your therapist ? yeah , i heard you were seeing one . i guess that means everybody thinks you 're a little crazy . take my advice -- stop telling stories . otherwise , your parents will have to send you away . is that what you want ? parker : what i want is for you to leave my mom alone ! kit : hey . carly : hi . i thought you were busy packing . kit : yeah , i was . i just thought i 'd take break . listen , i 'm glad i caught up with you . i just want to say i really appreciate you letting sam stay here in oakdale . i know jack and parker ai n't exactly keen on the guy . carly : well , i think as long as we keep parker away from sam , we 'll be all right . kit : i hope so . you know , it 's great being back with sam . i guess being away kind of made me realize just how crazy i am about him . i really missed him . we 've been together a long time , and we 've been through a whole lot . carly : well , i think it 's great that you guys are still together . i know it 's a lot harder than it looks . kit : yeah , sure is . i know that sam has a roving eye , but i overlook it . it do n't mean nothing . he 's just a big old flirt , that 's all . carly : as far as i can see , sam only has eyes for you . kit : yeah . well , if sam gets interested in another woman , then that 's where i draw the line , you hear what i 'm saying ? carly : i do n't think you have to worry about sam . kit : great . it 's good to know i can trust you with my man , carly . i can trust you , right ? carly : definitely . you do n't have to worry . sam is all yours . sam : i do n't think your parents would be too happy if they knew you snuck back in here just to spy on me . in fact , i doubt they 'd even listen to what you 'd have to say . parker : they 'll believe me . do n't worry . sam : parker , when are you going to get it ? i 'm not such a bad guy . if you keep your mouth shut , i wo n't tell your folks about your little spy games here . parker : yeah , i do n't need any favors from you . cowboy jack : i told you that kid was trouble . you 're gon na have to do somethin ' about that nosey little brat . sam : and i know just what to do . but you 're not going to like it . paul : how 'd it go ? emily : it was a complete waste of time . i did n't get through to craig . i mean , nothing i said seemed to bother him . in fact , he managed to turn everything around on me . how 'd it go with meg ? hello ! how 'd it go with meg ? paul : i think it went great . yeah , i think i finally got through to meg . and i think craig 's gon na lose his company , and memo 21 is going to lose its funding , and the whole research project at the hospital 's gon na fall through . and then , if that happens , hopefully somebody 's going to get ticked off enough that they show their hand . then -- then , we can catch ourselves a killer . lucinda : well , the biggest thing that 's going on at the hospital that 's new right now is the memo 21 , spearheaded by chris hughes . but -- no , i mean , and son of bob hughes is incomprehensible that he 'd be capable of doing anything . holden : well , is there anything to lead you to suspect someone else ? lucinda : darling , if i had suspected anyone , i would have gone to the police . holden : all right , in the meantime , is it possible for you to take lily out of town ? i do n't want anything to happen to her . lucinda : yes , absolutely . i think that 's an excellent idea . i know a wonderful medical spa . lily : do i get a say in this ? holden : no , you don't . [ cell phone rings ] lucinda : just a minute . hang on . no . yeah ? meg : lucinda ? can you come out to the farm ? i need to see you right away . and there 's something we really need to discuss . lucinda : actually , i am rather busy at this time . meg : it 's urgent . lucinda : okay , i 'll be there . lily : is everything all right ? lucinda : i will be all right . you will be all right . we will be all right . i promise . graduates lil entrees are ... sam : hey there , beautiful . i was just checking the boiler . kit : what 's up with the lights ? sam : well , we did n't have any customers , so i thought we 'd just shut down for a while . i figured you and i could use a little alone time before you left town . kit : you read my mind . sam : well , you seem to be in a good mood . kit : i am , baby . i feel real good . maybe you can bring cowboy jack along and he could tell me a joke or two so i have something to remember you by on the road . sam : no , no , no , no , let 's leave cowboy jack out of this . it 's just you and me . besides , cowboy jack is busy doing his own thing . meg : hi . thank you for coming here so quickly . lucinda : well , you said it was urgent . meg : okay , i 've been doing a lot of thinking . trying to get my life back in order and trying to put things right again . i know you were cheated out of your company when craig gave it to me . and i know , i accepted it . but the truth is , i had no right to it . in fact , i do n't want it anymore . and i was going to give it back to craig , but that wo n't be making things right . lucinda : wait , wait , wait , wait , wait . just a moment . what exactly are you trying to say to me ? meg : if you want the company , lucinda , it 's yours . lucinda : that 's wonderful . that 's absolutely -- i 'm so glad that the thinking has been productive . that 's just wonderful . i think you 've done absolutely the right thing . i just wish that you 'd done it months ago , before -- meg : before what ? lucinda : oh , it does n't matter . it does n't matter anymore . that does n't matter . what matters is the company is in the right hands -- mine . okay , fine . tomorrow morning , then ? we 'll settle the legal paperwork . that 's wonderful news . thank you . meg : you 're welcome . lucinda : thank you . it 's mrs . walsh , here . i need to see you right away . chris : you went to the police ? i just got done getting the third degree from margo , asking me about a dead lab technician . apparently someone 's been saying that i 'm a murderer . emily : all right , just calm down -- chris : i know exactly what it is you 're trying to do and you are not going to get away with it . the gloves are off . consider yourself warned . paul : well , for someone who says he 's innocent , he sure acts like he 's got a lot to hide . lucinda : we 're going to call the whole thing off . announcer : on the next `` as the world turns `` -- gwen : she kidnapped our child . we 're here to get her back . aaron : it 's time to go back , sofie . sam : i hate to even say this . was it your son again ? parker : tell them the truth , you creep . tell them you set me up ! holden : margo , something 's happened to lily . i 'm afraid that she might be in danger .Summarize.[/INST]sam cancels the band that is booked for the week at metro so he will have to stay and help carly at the club . parker sees sam paying one of the band members for the day and then sam warns parker not to tell carly or jack or they will have to send him away . cowboy jack tells sam they have to get rid of the rotten brat so later sam sneaks into carly 's house and puts cowboy jack in the fireplace planning to blame parker so that jack and carly will send parker to boot camp . holden and lily are put on the suspect list when margo finds out that the lab technician was killed with the same drug as dusty . margo later sets holden and lilly free and they tell lucinda about the test results the lab technician had regarding bob 's coffee cup . paul and emily plan to let craig lead them to dusty 's killer since they think that dusty was killed because he wanted to stop the research project at the hospital . paul persuades meg to give lucinda the company back so that the hospital project wo n't happen and they can see what craig will do next . lucinda is thrilled to get her company back and goes to the hospital she goes inside the lab and tells herself she will stop the research project .</s> | 1,844 |

[ chuckles ] you know , i 'm not discounting patrick 's love for robin , but it 's been a long time . people change . patrick has changed . he 's come to love you . so do n't give up . it 's not over until the fat lady sings . sabrina : i have some christmas presents for emma . i was n't sure what to do with them . anyway , call me back if you get a chance . sam : patrick ? you okay ? patrick : no . sam : you want to talk about it ? patrick : not really . sam : okay . all right . that 's fair enough . i can guess what 's going on . i mean , i was at your wedding . i do n't have to be a psychic to read your mind . patrick : i am just as confused as i was the day at the church . robin and sabrina are both waiting for an answer , and ... i have a decision to make . ava : knock , knock . silas : hey . come on in . ava : well , if i 'd known i was gon na get this reception , i would have driven even faster . silas : i do n't have time to play games with you , all right ? we got a problem . i just got a phone call from the nypd . morgan : i need you to just trust me . i can fix this . molly : how ? morgan : do n't worry . julian will know what to do . molly : no . okay , see , the thing is my mom was really not happy to see julian at the house this morning . and i know that sam will have nothing to do with him , even though he turned out to be her father . morgan : i - i do n't know what to tell you about sam 's personal situation or -- or why she wo n't give julian a chance , but that has nothing to do with what 's going on right now . [ door opens , closes ] julian : what 's going on , morgan ? you said something about sonny 's warehouse . morgan : yeah . molly thinks it might be where he 's holding carlos . julian : well , i guess you had more on your mind than a math test this morning . molly : [ scoffs ] okay , look , i - i do n't know anything about this guy carlos . all i know is that tj was suspicious , and he 's there now , and i 'm getting worried . do you think we should call the police ? julian : no . no , no , no . no police . listen , you did the right thing coming to morgan . we 're gon na take care of this . shawn : tj , what are you doing here ? carlos : hey , relax . i do n't want to hurt him . shawn : then you let him go . carlos : i 'm afraid i ca n't do that . sonny : this is between me and you , carlos . there 's no need to bring that kid in to this . carlos : i 'm not bringing him in to anything . i 'm gon na use him to get out of here . sonny : the thing is you 're not going anywhere . carlos : oh , no . you 're wrong . you see , i 'm gon na walk right out of here , or the kid gets a bullet . felix : what do you think ? sabrina : it 's nice . felix : you sure ? i got it for brad . i want to make sure the color matches his eyes . sabrina : that 's for brad ? felix : mm ? of course not . i just wanted to see if you 're paying attention . you seem like you 're a million miles away . sabrina : i 'm sorry . i guess i 'm just not in the holiday mood . felix : [ sighs ] sabrina : [ sighs ] emma : mommy ! robin : oh , hi ! mwah ! emma : i 'm so happy to be home . robin : [ laughs ] did you have fun at the mall ? hi . emma : it was fun . i told santa everything i wanted . robin : [ gasps ] you did ? duke : she did . anna : yes . it was an exhaustive list , i 've got to say ... robin : [ laughs ] anna : ... which seems quite surprising , considering she 's just had the best present in the world . emma : that 's you , mommy . you 're the best present . robin : and you are the best present for me . emma : [ chuckles ] robin : but it 's okay to wish for other things , and i 'm sure that santa has a lot of presents to bring you this year . emma : i need to put up my stocking . robin : yes , yes , yes ! yes , you do . if i remember correctly , it 's in the attic , right ? duke : in the attic ? well , then i think i am going to lead the search party to the attic , and i think you are going to come and be my assistant . robin : go , go , go . emma : yes . duke : all right . robin : [ chuckles ] anna : how is it -- being back here ? robin : patrick changed some things -- the paint on the walls , you know ? it 's good . i like it . i just -- i was n't really expecting it . anna : well , just so you know , it was maxie that did the decorating in here . we were all just trying to stumble along without you , doing our own versions of that , whatever it was , you know ? so , this was maxie 's contribution . robin : no . i mean , that 's really thoughtful of her . anna : yes . robin : it just made me feel a little strange when i walked in the door . kind of reminded me of the first time that i saw the house . i really , really wanted it , because i felt like it would bring me out of my postpartum depression . i mean , the house was n't a cure - all , but i do n't regret buying it . anna : no . you should n't . this is your home . you know , even if there is a new coat of paint , this is where you , patrick , and emma became a family . robin : right . i mean , i ca n't even look over there without imagining emma taking her first steps or the fireplace and that one crazy night when patrick insisted that we make s 'm ores inside or the kitchen , where we had pancake dinners on the weekends . i mean , i have all of those memories here . it 's just -- i do n't know . it feels like i 'm walking in someone else 's house . anna : because why ? robin : because all of those memories -- they seem like a lifetime ago , especially because patrick is n't here . patrick : i was just standing there , so focused on sabrina and the moment , and then emma yells , `` mommy ! `` and goes running down the aisle . it 's -- i could n't believe what i was seeing . sam : yeah . i know . none of us could . patrick : and in that moment where she had emma in her arms , it was like something i had always dreamed of , like a moment in my life that i was aching for . and here i am , about to marry another woman . i was over that . i had finally accepted that robin was gone . and then there she is . she 's standing right there . and i knew it was real because of the way robin was holding emma , and they looked at each other , and then , before i knew it , my feet were just carrying me down the aisle , and then i had robin in my arms . sam : i know . it 's a miracle , actually . patrick : but then there 's sabrina . i owe everything to sabrina . she put me and emma back together , and this was supposed to be her special day . sam : okay . but do you love her ? patrick : yes . yes . i love them both . and i 'm trying not to hurt either one of them , but yet i know that 's exactly what i 'm doing . i look in their eyes , and i can see that trying not to hurt them ... is what i 'm doing , and i do n't know how to stop it . sam : it 's -- it 's okay , because , actually , you would be wrong if you did n't love both sabrina and robin . however , i - i do n't think you should be beating yourself up over it . patrick : see , but it does n't matter how we got here . the fact is i 'm dragging this out . that 's just the truth . and i promised emma that i would have this figured out by christmas , and yet i do n't know how i 'm gon na do that , because ... i just do n't know where i belong . sam : i do n't think that 's true . i think , in your heart , you know exactly where you belong . ava : the nypd ? silas : yeah . some detective . ava : what did he want ? silas : what do you think he wants ? ava : well , i do n't know why you 're surprised . i told you this could happen . when you started pushing me about kiki , i warned you . silas : well , when no one came calling , i thought we were in the clear . i figured after all this time ... i thought this story had died down . ava : well , apparently , you were wrong . bobbie : actually , sweetheart , i 'm not sure when i 'm coming back to seattle . no , no . everything 's fine . i 'm -- i 'm just a little tired . that 's all . yeah . okay . we 'll talk soon . bye . luke : lucas can tell something 's wrong . bobbie : yeah . oh , gosh , i feel so bad not telling him the whole story , but there 's no way i could tell him the truth . i mean , what would i say ? i just had a run - in with his biological father ? julian : morgan , you 're coming with me . morgan : sure . molly : what about me ? julian : stay here and wait for us to come back . molly : but maybe i can help -- julian : molly , i do n't have time to explain right now . it 's very important that you stay here and you do not call the police -- or anyone else , for that matter . do you understand ? molly : morgan , are you sure that -- morgan : hey , hey , it 's okay . just do what julian says . can you do that , please ? molly : okay . julian : all right . let 's go . morgan : all right . [ door closes ] carlos : come on , kid . shawn : hey ! you let him go ! you let him go now ! drop the gun , or i 'm gon na drop you . carlos : hey , back off ! i 'm the one giving the orders now ! shawn : tj , buddy , everything 's gon na be all right , okay ? carlos : tj 's got nothing to worry about . do you , tj ? now , we are gon na walk out of here nice and easy . sonny : that 's not gon na happen , 'cause you 're not getting out of this building alive , carlos . carlos : yes , i am . that 's exactly what i 'm gon na do . robin : i have been trying so hard to give patrick space to make his decision , but it 's so hard because i know what i want . i want my husband back , and every single time i see him , i want to shake him and tell him he 's an idiot . anna : you know , when you were young and i was very much in love with duke , your father came back into town , came back to port charles . and i had to work very hard to keep it clear in my head that duke was the man that i loved now . he was my present love , and robert was the past . and , you know , i mean , sometimes i just did n't feel that way , because robert and i -- we really understand each other in every way . i mean , we would practically finish each other 's thoughts . and that does n't diminish at all from how much i love duke . i think the simple , kind of almost painful truth is that i love them both . i always have . i did then , and i do now , and i imagine that i always will . robin : so , if dad walked in the door right now and he said that he wanted to try again , i mean , who would you pick ? anna : i do n't have to answer that question . no , i do n't , because it 's never gon na happen , you know ? he -- he totally respects how committed i am to duke , and he would never put me in that position . robin : okay , fine . i mean , i do n't mean now . i mean back then . anna : then i would be doing exactly what patrick is doing right now . i would be putting off having to make that decision because i knew that whoever i chose , someone i love very , very much was gon na be hurt and i would lose , if not the love of that man , at least the connection to what we might have been together . robin : but that ca n't go on indefinitely . anna : no . you 're right . it ca n't . yeah , i would have realized sooner or later that i was torturing all three of us , and then ... robin : then what ? anna : well , then i would have been honest with myself , you know ? i would have ... been very honest , because there 's no measure of how much i love each of them . you understand that ? there is n't . and i would have asked myself the question , `` who did i want to have a life with ? `` and i think if patrick asks himself that question , you 're gon na be the answer . robin : i hope you 're right , mom . i hope that all patrick needs is time . [ footsteps approach ] robin : hello ! duke : emma is a master with a flashlight . she led us straight to the stockings . robin : [ laughs ] emma : can i hang my stocking myself ? robin : you can certainly try , my love . here . why do n't we try it here ? anna : you all right ? duke : if she found out that i was working for you , she 'd be appalled . she 'd feel betrayed . but we both know julian has a grudge against her , and he has to be stopped before he kills her . sonny : you really think he 'd do that ? duke : you know he would . i know he would . and she 'll use all of her resources at the pcpd to stop him . sonny : and julian will retaliate . duke : neutralizing julian is the only way to protect her . that is why i am here -- to save anna . if his flunky loses his life in the process , then so be it . felix : okay . that 's it . we 're getting out of here . sabrina : and going where ? felix : taylor and i are going to north carolina for christmas holiday . you 're welcome to join . sabrina : oh , felix , you 've already made your plans , and i - i was n't a part of that . felix : a week with the dubois family will cure whatever ails you . when you witness our dysfunction , all your problems will seem puny by comparison . sabrina : [ chuckles ] felix : [ chuckles ] sabrina : i appreciate the invitation , but i - i could n't possibly impose , especially not -- felix : no , no , no . it 's not an imposition . i mean , a guest might be just the thing to put a damper on the insanity . [ chuckles ] no , no . that 's probably asking too much . but -- but -- but my mom cooks a huge feast , and i 'm sure she 'll be happy to have another person there to enjoy it . hmm ? sabrina : thank you . it 's really so sweet . but , um ... i think it 's best if i stick to port charles . felix : [ sighs ] okay . i 'll go . [ grunts ] but on one condition -- i expect some holiday cheer around this place by the time i get back . sabrina : [ chuckles ] you 're the best . felix : uh , which is why you should listen to me . i expect you to wrap that gift . you ai n't gon na give your would - be husband an unwrapped christmas present . sabrina : oh , you 've got more faith than i do . felix : that 's what the christmas holiday is all about -- faith and hope . sabrina : faith , hope ... and miracles . duke : well , emma asked if there was gon na be snow , and , well , you know what ? there are lots of clouds out there , so fingers crossed that they 're full of snow ! anna : oh , would n't it be great to have a white christmas ? emma : as long as santa does n't fall off the roof . duke : oh , no . anna : [ laughs ] this is a great place for your stocking , emma . that 's exactly the right place that santa will see it as soon as he comes down the chimney . robin : mm - hmm . emma : mommy helped . anna : well , that 's what mommies are for . emma : mommy , put your stocking neck to mine . robin : yes , ma'am . anna : now it feels like christmas . emma : what about daddy 's ? should we hang his stocking here , too ? or will he be over at sabrina 's ? patrick : and so you think i already know where i belong ? sam : i think the reason why it 's taking you so long to make up your mind is not because you do n't know which woman to choose but because you do . you just said that you did n't want to hurt either one of them . patrick : yeah , exactly , and it does n't matter what happens . one of them 's gon na be hurt . sam : exactly . so i think that you can take all the time in the world , patrick , but the result is still gon na be the same . so , if you want my advice , i would say that you need to make your decision now so you can all just move on with your lives . come here . [ smooches ] it 's gon na be okay . patrick : thank you . sam : you 're welcome . ava : okay . let 's not panic . i 'm sure there 's a simple solution . silas : well , that 's easy for you to say . you do n't have the cops calling you , do you ? ava : well , it does n't mean you have to call them back . you 're a busy doctor , right ? just screen your calls . sooner or later , he 'll have to drop it . silas : yeah , sure . that 's what cops do , right ? they just drop things . of course , you 're an expert on cop behavior , right ? 'cause you play for the other side . you 'd have to be to stay in business this long . you have to be one step ahead , right , ava ? ava : i 'm just trying to help you . i 'm guessing that you would n't want your secrets exposed , especially not to sam . i can see how fond you are of my niece . i can only imagine how she would react if she found out the truth . sonny : there 's no way out , carlos . carlos : i 'm not so sure about that . max : happy to show you . sonny : you ran out of options . put the gun down . carlos : [ laughs ] whoo ! [ laughs ] bobbie : you got to admit -- pie 's pretty good . luke : eh . not as good as ruby 's . bobbie : [ chuckles ] yeah . our aunt was a tough act to follow . luke : [ sighs ] in so many ways . i 've never known anybody with her courage or resilience , who took the hard knocks and just kept bouncing back , who always found humor and something to laugh at even in the darkest of times . bobbie : mm . luke : and she could cut through the crap and make you tell the truth . bobbie : except when she was lying to your face . [ laughs ] luke : [ chuckles ] yeah , but even then , she was still ruby , was n't she ? bobbie : i miss her . luke : so do i. i often wonder what would have happened to us , barbara , without her . well , we still got each other , do n't we ? no matter what happens , i 'll always be your big brother . molly : please just let him be okay . carlos : right on time !

[ sighs ] merry christmas . silas : it 's the family of one of my patients . sam : is it serious ? silas : just something that i need to deal with . you think maybe we could pick up where we left off later ? sam : i think so . counting on it , actually . do n't work too hard . silas : [ sighs ] ava : sonny 's warehouse ? that 's where they 're holding carlos ? molly : well , i do n't know anything about that -- only that tj took shawn 's keys and he went there this morning . [ cell phone rings ] ava : excuse me . i - i have to take this . silas ? silas : i 'm at g.h . -- floor 10 , examination room 1 . i need to see you immediately . ava : i have to go . molly : what about tj ? ava : morgan , call julian , okay ? he 'll know what to do . julian : who is this lucas person ? luke : i really do n't think that 's any of your business , mr. jerome . but that would be me -- lucas lorenzo spencer . julian : you do n't appear to be calling someone right now . luke : well , we 'll have to check that , wo n't we ? oh . look at that . barbara , i butt - dialed you . i 'm sorry . i 'll turn this thing off . bobbie : oh , yeah . luke , you really ought to learn to keep your phone locked . luke : you know , i hate these things . i do n't even know why i carry it . i hate when people think they can get ahold me any time of the day . i 'd rather meet somebody ... [ cell phone rings ] luke : ... in a bar if i 'm gon na talk to them . this whole cyber world is really a pain in the butt to me . julian : you know what ? if you 'll , uh , excuse me ... luke : say hi to jerry ... if you still recognize him . bobbie : oh . that was close . shawn : the alarm was n't triggered , so he 's still in the main warehouse . sonny : carlos , we know you 're here ! there 's no way out , so you might as well get it over with ! show yourself ! patrick : do n't you think we should at least finish looking around before we commit to paying for the this for the rest of our lives ? robin : i just have a very good feeling about it . i think we should call the realtor . patrick : okay , whoa . robin , slow down . robin : why ? i can feel it . this is our house . i mean , we should just take it before somebody else does and we regret it for the rest of our lives . felix : patrick has n't said anything one way or another , which means he has n't made a decision , and until he does , you stand as much chance as robin . sabrina : his wife , the mother of his child . felix : okay . wait . who did he recently ask to marry ? you . and who has he spent the last year with ? oh ! you . [ chuckles ] you know , i 'm not discounting patrick 's love for robin , but it 's been a long time . people change . patrick has changed . he 's come to love you . so do n't give up . it 's not over until the fat lady sings . sabrina : i have some christmas presents for emma . i was n't sure what to do with them . anyway , call me back if you get a chance . sam : patrick ? you okay ? patrick : no . sam : you want to talk about it ? patrick : not really . sam : okay . all right . that 's fair enough . i can guess what 's going on . i mean , i was at your wedding . i do n't have to be a psychic to read your mind . patrick : i am just as confused as i was the day at the church . robin and sabrina are both waiting for an answer , and ... i have a decision to make . ava : knock , knock . silas : hey . come on in . ava : well , if i 'd known i was gon na get this reception , i would have driven even faster . silas : i do n't have time to play games with you , all right ? we got a problem . i just got a phone call from the nypd . morgan : i need you to just trust me . i can fix this . molly : how ? morgan : do n't worry . julian will know what to do . molly : no . okay , see , the thing is my mom was really not happy to see julian at the house this morning . and i know that sam will have nothing to do with him , even though he turned out to be her father . morgan : i - i do n't know what to tell you about sam 's personal situation or -- or why she wo n't give julian a chance , but that has nothing to do with what 's going on right now . [ door opens , closes ] julian : what 's going on , morgan ? you said something about sonny 's warehouse . morgan : yeah . molly thinks it might be where he 's holding carlos . julian : well , i guess you had more on your mind than a math test this morning . molly : [ scoffs ] okay , look , i - i do n't know anything about this guy carlos . all i know is that tj was suspicious , and he 's there now , and i 'm getting worried . do you think we should call the police ? julian : no . no , no , no . no police . listen , you did the right thing coming to morgan . we 're gon na take care of this . shawn : tj , what are you doing here ? carlos : hey , relax . i do n't want to hurt him . shawn : then you let him go . carlos : i 'm afraid i ca n't do that . sonny : this is between me and you , carlos . there 's no need to bring that kid in to this . carlos : i 'm not bringing him in to anything . i 'm gon na use him to get out of here . sonny : the thing is you 're not going anywhere . carlos : oh , no . you 're wrong . you see , i 'm gon na walk right out of here , or the kid gets a bullet . felix : what do you think ? sabrina : it 's nice . felix : you sure ? i got it for brad . i want to make sure the color matches his eyes . sabrina : that 's for brad ? felix : mm ? of course not . i just wanted to see if you 're paying attention . you seem like you 're a million miles away . sabrina : i 'm sorry . i guess i 'm just not in the holiday mood . felix : [ sighs ] sabrina : [ sighs ] emma : mommy ! robin : oh , hi ! mwah ! emma : i 'm so happy to be home . robin : [ laughs ] did you have fun at the mall ? hi . emma : it was fun . i told santa everything i wanted . robin : [ gasps ] you did ? duke : she did . anna : yes . it was an exhaustive list , i 've got to say ... robin : [ laughs ] anna : ... which seems quite surprising , considering she 's just had the best present in the world . emma : that 's you , mommy . you 're the best present . robin : and you are the best present for me . emma : [ chuckles ] robin : but it 's okay to wish for other things , and i 'm sure that santa has a lot of presents to bring you this year . emma : i need to put up my stocking . robin : yes , yes , yes ! yes , you do . if i remember correctly , it 's in the attic , right ? duke : in the attic ? well , then i think i am going to lead the search party to the attic , and i think you are going to come and be my assistant . robin : go , go , go . emma : yes . duke : all right . robin : [ chuckles ] anna : how is it -- being back here ? robin : patrick changed some things -- the paint on the walls , you know ? it 's good . i like it . i just -- i was n't really expecting it . anna : well , just so you know , it was maxie that did the decorating in here . we were all just trying to stumble along without you , doing our own versions of that , whatever it was , you know ? so , this was maxie 's contribution . robin : no . i mean , that 's really thoughtful of her . anna : yes . robin : it just made me feel a little strange when i walked in the door . kind of reminded me of the first time that i saw the house . i really , really wanted it , because i felt like it would bring me out of my postpartum depression . i mean , the house was n't a cure - all , but i do n't regret buying it . anna : no . you should n't . this is your home . you know , even if there is a new coat of paint , this is where you , patrick , and emma became a family . robin : right . i mean , i ca n't even look over there without imagining emma taking her first steps or the fireplace and that one crazy night when patrick insisted that we make s 'm ores inside or the kitchen , where we had pancake dinners on the weekends . i mean , i have all of those memories here . it 's just -- i do n't know . it feels like i 'm walking in someone else 's house . anna : because why ? robin : because all of those memories -- they seem like a lifetime ago , especially because patrick is n't here . patrick : i was just standing there , so focused on sabrina and the moment , and then emma yells , `` mommy ! `` and goes running down the aisle . it 's -- i could n't believe what i was seeing . sam : yeah . i know . none of us could . patrick : and in that moment where she had emma in her arms , it was like something i had always dreamed of , like a moment in my life that i was aching for . and here i am , about to marry another woman . i was over that . i had finally accepted that robin was gone . and then there she is . she 's standing right there . and i knew it was real because of the way robin was holding emma , and they looked at each other , and then , before i knew it , my feet were just carrying me down the aisle , and then i had robin in my arms . sam : i know . it 's a miracle , actually . patrick : but then there 's sabrina . i owe everything to sabrina . she put me and emma back together , and this was supposed to be her special day . sam : okay . but do you love her ? patrick : yes . yes . i love them both . and i 'm trying not to hurt either one of them , but yet i know that 's exactly what i 'm doing . i look in their eyes , and i can see that trying not to hurt them ... is what i 'm doing , and i do n't know how to stop it . sam : it 's -- it 's okay , because , actually , you would be wrong if you did n't love both sabrina and robin . however , i - i do n't think you should be beating yourself up over it . patrick : see , but it does n't matter how we got here . the fact is i 'm dragging this out . that 's just the truth . and i promised emma that i would have this figured out by christmas , and yet i do n't know how i 'm gon na do that , because ... i just do n't know where i belong . sam : i do n't think that 's true . i think , in your heart , you know exactly where you belong . ava : the nypd ? silas : yeah . some detective . ava : what did he want ? silas : what do you think he wants ? ava : well , i do n't know why you 're surprised . i told you this could happen . when you started pushing me about kiki , i warned you . silas : well , when no one came calling , i thought we were in the clear . i figured after all this time ... i thought this story had died down . ava : well , apparently , you were wrong . bobbie : actually , sweetheart , i 'm not sure when i 'm coming back to seattle . no , no . everything 's fine . i 'm -- i 'm just a little tired . that 's all . yeah . okay . we 'll talk soon . bye . luke : lucas can tell something 's wrong . bobbie : yeah . oh , gosh , i feel so bad not telling him the whole story , but there 's no way i could tell him the truth . i mean , what would i say ? i just had a run - in with his biological father ? julian : morgan , you 're coming with me . morgan : sure . molly : what about me ? julian : stay here and wait for us to come back . molly : but maybe i can help -- julian : molly , i do n't have time to explain right now . it 's very important that you stay here and you do not call the police -- or anyone else , for that matter . do you understand ? molly : morgan , are you sure that -- morgan : hey , hey , it 's okay . just do what julian says . can you do that , please ? molly : okay . julian : all right . let 's go . morgan : all right . [ door closes ] carlos : come on , kid . shawn : hey ! you let him go ! you let him go now ! drop the gun , or i 'm gon na drop you . carlos : hey , back off ! i 'm the one giving the orders now ! shawn : tj , buddy , everything 's gon na be all right , okay ? carlos : tj 's got nothing to worry about . do you , tj ? now , we are gon na walk out of here nice and easy . sonny : that 's not gon na happen , 'cause you 're not getting out of this building alive , carlos . carlos : yes , i am . that 's exactly what i 'm gon na do . robin : i have been trying so hard to give patrick space to make his decision , but it 's so hard because i know what i want . i want my husband back , and every single time i see him , i want to shake him and tell him he 's an idiot . anna : you know , when you were young and i was very much in love with duke , your father came back into town , came back to port charles . and i had to work very hard to keep it clear in my head that duke was the man that i loved now . he was my present love , and robert was the past . and , you know , i mean , sometimes i just did n't feel that way , because robert and i -- we really understand each other in every way . i mean , we would practically finish each other 's thoughts . and that does n't diminish at all from how much i love duke . i think the simple , kind of almost painful truth is that i love them both . i always have . i did then , and i do now , and i imagine that i always will . robin : so , if dad walked in the door right now and he said that he wanted to try again , i mean , who would you pick ? anna : i do n't have to answer that question . no , i do n't , because it 's never gon na happen , you know ? he -- he totally respects how committed i am to duke , and he would never put me in that position . robin : okay , fine . i mean , i do n't mean now . i mean back then . anna : then i would be doing exactly what patrick is doing right now . i would be putting off having to make that decision because i knew that whoever i chose , someone i love very , very much was gon na be hurt and i would lose , if not the love of that man , at least the connection to what we might have been together . robin : but that ca n't go on indefinitely . anna : no . you 're right . it ca n't . yeah , i would have realized sooner or later that i was torturing all three of us , and then ... robin : then what ? anna : well , then i would have been honest with myself , you know ? i would have ... been very honest , because there 's no measure of how much i love each of them . you understand that ? there is n't . and i would have asked myself the question , `` who did i want to have a life with ? `` and i think if patrick asks himself that question , you 're gon na be the answer . robin : i hope you 're right , mom . i hope that all patrick needs is time . [ footsteps approach ] robin : hello ! duke : emma is a master with a flashlight . she led us straight to the stockings . robin : [ laughs ] emma : can i hang my stocking myself ? robin : you can certainly try , my love . here . why do n't we try it here ? anna : you all right ? duke : if she found out that i was working for you , she 'd be appalled . she 'd feel betrayed . but we both know julian has a grudge against her , and he has to be stopped before he kills her . sonny : you really think he 'd do that ? duke : you know he would . i know he would . and she 'll use all of her resources at the pcpd to stop him . sonny : and julian will retaliate . duke : neutralizing julian is the only way to protect her . that is why i am here -- to save anna . if his flunky loses his life in the process , then so be it . felix : okay . that 's it . we 're getting out of here . sabrina : and going where ? felix : taylor and i are going to north carolina for christmas holiday . you 're welcome to join . sabrina : oh , felix , you 've already made your plans , and i - i was n't a part of that . felix : a week with the dubois family will cure whatever ails you . when you witness our dysfunction , all your problems will seem puny by comparison . sabrina : [ chuckles ] felix : [ chuckles ] sabrina : i appreciate the invitation , but i - i could n't possibly impose , especially not -- felix : no , no , no . it 's not an imposition . i mean , a guest might be just the thing to put a damper on the insanity . [ chuckles ] no , no . that 's probably asking too much . but -- but -- but my mom cooks a huge feast , and i 'm sure she 'll be happy to have another person there to enjoy it . hmm ? sabrina : thank you . it 's really so sweet . but , um ... i think it 's best if i stick to port charles . felix : [ sighs ] okay . i 'll go . [ grunts ] but on one condition -- i expect some holiday cheer around this place by the time i get back . sabrina : [ chuckles ] you 're the best . felix : uh , which is why you should listen to me . i expect you to wrap that gift . you ai n't gon na give your would - be husband an unwrapped christmas present . sabrina : oh , you 've got more faith than i do . felix : that 's what the christmas holiday is all about -- faith and hope . sabrina : faith , hope ... and miracles . duke : well , emma asked if there was gon na be snow , and , well , you know what ? there are lots of clouds out there , so fingers crossed that they 're full of snow ! anna : oh , would n't it be great to have a white christmas ? emma : as long as santa does n't fall off the roof . duke : oh , no . anna : [ laughs ] this is a great place for your stocking , emma . that 's exactly the right place that santa will see it as soon as he comes down the chimney . robin : mm - hmm . emma : mommy helped . anna : well , that 's what mommies are for . emma : mommy , put your stocking neck to mine . robin : yes , ma'am . anna : now it feels like christmas . emma : what about daddy 's ? should we hang his stocking here , too ? or will he be over at sabrina 's ? patrick : and so you think i already know where i belong ? sam : i think the reason why it 's taking you so long to make up your mind is not because you do n't know which woman to choose but because you do . you just said that you did n't want to hurt either one of them . patrick : yeah , exactly , and it does n't matter what happens . one of them 's gon na be hurt . sam : exactly . so i think that you can take all the time in the world , patrick , but the result is still gon na be the same . so , if you want my advice , i would say that you need to make your decision now so you can all just move on with your lives . come here . [ smooches ] it 's gon na be okay . patrick : thank you . sam : you 're welcome . ava : okay . let 's not panic . i 'm sure there 's a simple solution . silas : well , that 's easy for you to say . you do n't have the cops calling you , do you ? ava : well , it does n't mean you have to call them back . you 're a busy doctor , right ? just screen your calls . sooner or later , he 'll have to drop it . silas : yeah , sure . that 's what cops do , right ? they just drop things . of course , you 're an expert on cop behavior , right ? 'cause you play for the other side . you 'd have to be to stay in business this long . you have to be one step ahead , right , ava ? ava : i 'm just trying to help you . i 'm guessing that you would n't want your secrets exposed , especially not to sam . i can see how fond you are of my niece . i can only imagine how she would react if she found out the truth . sonny : there 's no way out , carlos . carlos : i 'm not so sure about that . max : happy to show you . sonny : you ran out of options . put the gun down . carlos : [ laughs ] whoo ! [ laughs ] bobbie : you got to admit -- pie 's pretty good . luke : eh . not as good as ruby 's . bobbie : [ chuckles ] yeah . our aunt was a tough act to follow . luke : [ sighs ] in so many ways . i 've never known anybody with her courage or resilience , who took the hard knocks and just kept bouncing back , who always found humor and something to laugh at even in the darkest of times . bobbie : mm . luke : and she could cut through the crap and make you tell the truth . bobbie : except when she was lying to your face . [ laughs ] luke : [ chuckles ] yeah , but even then , she was still ruby , was n't she ? bobbie : i miss her . luke : so do i. i often wonder what would have happened to us , barbara , without her . well , we still got each other , do n't we ? no matter what happens , i 'll always be your big brother . molly : please just let him be okay . carlos : right on time !

'cause it 's very important where this stocking is , 'cause that 's the first place that santa 's gon na see , right ? we want it right in his eye line . robin : yeah .

i do n't know . what do you think ? alexandra : oh , dear . for goodness ' sakes , one might almost get the feeling that you care about your father . and this is the way you thank him ? by quitting when he needs you most ? there 's a certain way to break the man 's heart ! gus : i did not quit . do you understand ? he did n't ask me to stay . alexandra : well , what do you expect him to do ? beg you for all the humiliation you 've heaped upon him ? gus : you could ask me , right ? is that a little too much to expect ? alexandra : yes , it most certainly is . gus : oh , really ? alexandra : considering the damage , it certainly is . gus : alex , i realize that you do n't understand this , but real families out in the world , the ones that are n't trying to sabotage each other each and every single day , they try to communicate . they try to be open . they try to be honest . alexandra : open ?

( laughs ) brad : gus ? is it true ? you 're leaving us ? god , i 'm all torn up . really . alexandra : gus , gus , gus . brad : ( chuckles ) is the other rumor true as well ? alexandra : what rumor ? brad : that spaulding is being investigated . as if you did n't know what 's driving our stock down . alexandra : no , actually , i 've heard some rumor , but i know that it 's absolutely false . oh , brad , there is one more thing . it 's bad girl . yes , you realize that 's my brain child , and quite frankly , i am finding it very annoying that i have to come to you to get approval on every single move i make . as i 'm sure you find it annoying that i have to approve everything in pharmaceuticals for you . brad : that 's what we call `` checks and balances . `` alexandra : of course , but it 's tedious . you know something ? it 's absolutely unnecessary . now , i 've got a good idea . now , just hear me out . how about we make a trade ? brad : a what ? alexandra : we trade . you give me bad girl to run as i see fit and i will ... i 'll give you full rein of another division of pharmaceuticals . come on . now , listen to me . listen to me . what do you want ? otc ? cold meds ? what ? virility enhancers ? i know that 's up your alley . brad : ( laughs ) alexandra : oh ... i 'll give you antimonious . brad : you 'd give me antimonious ? our biggest money maker . alexandra , that was our pet project . we built that brand from nothing . alexandra : i know it . i know it . i would miss it for a while but not for long if you give me bad girl . what do you say ? do we have a deal ? phillip : no baby , okay ? lizzie : i know , daddy . you were just confused earlier . phillip : right . because you know i get confused a lot . lizzie : i sure hope you can get out of here in time to see my play . phillip : `` romeo and juliet , `` right ? lizzie : you remembered . ( laughs ) phillip : you 're playing the nurse . see ? maybe i am getting a little bit better . maybe i will see the play . lizzie : i hope so . well , you know , i better get going . i 've got rehearsal in a little bit , but i 'm glad to see you 're doing good . i worry about you so much being in this place . phillip : do n't worry . everything 's going to be okay . as long as ... everything 's going to be okay . lizzie : okay , daddy . i love you . marah : how can you ask me to forget about you ? i 'm the one who got you into this mess in the first place , and if you need me to stay away from you for your sake , because it 'll help you , fine . but i 'm not going to do it because of some stupid tabloid magazine ! jeffrey : sometimes you have to ... marah : no , i don't . i do n't have to do anything . you told me that i need to be strong , right ? so i 'm going to be strong and i 'm going to know that what we have is decent and loving , okay ? and if you want me to do this , you want me to stay away for your sake , then i will do that . i will , okay ? that 's the deal . that 's it . take it or leave it . jeffrey : you 're impossible . and crazy . and stubborn . and willful . and beautiful . you 're so beautiful . ( camera shutter clicking ) reva : looks like the place . josh : looks pretty empty , does n't it ? are you ready to do this ? reva : yeah . i 'm ready . josh : here we go . locked up . go to plan b . reva : which is ? i love it when you 're devious . wait ! wait . i was just thinking . you know , before she died , carrie thought of everything , right ? everything that she could think of to hurt you and billy and marah and all the others , down to every last twisted detail . josh : yes . reva : so , what if this is just another set - up ? josh : either we 're dead wrong about this , or somebody did a great clean - up job . why do n't you check around the desk there . i 'll look in these file cabinets . reva : well , someone was here not too long ago . josh : what have you got ? reva : you have trash that they left behind . a recently half - eaten sandwich , a coffee - soaked newspaper . but look at the date . josh : today . that 's carrie 's pink stationery . reva : does that look familiar ? josh : absolutely . what else have you got in there ? reva : nothing much . just old mail , pencil shavings . a list with items checked off . `` messenger note to person ... `` look at that . all of our addresses -- billy , buzz , ed , alan . what 's that ? why would someone leave something like that behind ? josh : i can fix this . maybe this has some kind of instructions that she left with a messenger . what do you think ? anything else ? reva : well , let 's not guess , okay ? brad : you 're serious about this . you would actually step away from our highest profile brand , give me complete control . alexandra : okay , i 've never dreamed of doing this , you know , several years ago , but the fact is that antimonious is up and running , it 's well - established and ... brad : you are trying to distance yourself from me so that when the ax falls you will have plausible deniability . alexandra : ( scoffs ) brad : okay . okay , alexandra , sure . i 'll take your little deal : bad girl for antimonious . oh , and when the feds come knocking at my door , i 'll be sure to protect you every bit as much as you protected me . alexandra : jack ? it 's alexandra . what 's the spaulding stock trading at now ? oh , lord . no , no , no , no . no , not exactly . i want you to sell . i said sell . brad : it 's down to what ? sell it . that 's right , sell it all . now . alan : sell . but only a few shares . olivia : that 's coming up on your screen right now ? that 's a lot of shares . someone 's dumping their stock . yeah . i want you to buy . buy everything you can get . phillip : okay . all right . okay . that takes care of the pills . anything else ? yeah . yeah , i have to remember not to say anything about the baby to lizzie . or alan or beth or alexandra . ñi i think i can remember that . as for you , olivia , i 'll get to you . i 'm going to think of something very special to do for you . jeffrey : i forgot how soft your skin was . actually , that 's not true . i remember every inch of you . marah : i wish that it were tougher right now so i could get through this . jeffrey : oh , no . no . do n't change anything . because you 're perfect , you know that ? you 're perfect . i have to go . marah : no . no . no , please , not yet . jeffrey : you know i have to . i 'm going to do everything , marah , to help you . you know that . everything in my power , i swear . marah : we ca n't see each other ? ca n't we maybe just talk on the phone ? jeffrey : you 're going to be okay . marah : no . ( sobbing ) jeffrey : you will . you will . carrie : after you 've sent the last note , have the phone disconnected , clean out the office , wipe all prints , lock the door , dispose of this tape and never come back . if anyone questions you , you never heard of caroline caruthers . thank you for your loyalty . good - bye . reva : what does it really prove ? josh : it proves that she set up and planned everything that happened that night at the fairgrounds . it proves that getting that note to me was the last thing on her agenda and that she 's finally out of our lives for good . reva : so , what now ? josh : now we take this tape to the police station . we hope that it 's enough to get marah off the hook . harley : you know , gus , you really are better off out of spaulding . i mean , things between you and alan are so rocky right now . gus : yeah . `` rocky `` , that 's what they are . harley : you did what you had to do . gus : is frank around ? harley : yeah , somewhere . gus : yeah ? you think he might reinstate me , like , starting right away ? harley : are you kidding me ? i think he 's be thrilled . hey , with the increased drug activity out there , he needs every seasoned detective he can get his hands on . gus : yeah , all right . well , that 's where i 'll be . i 'll be out in the streets . harley : absolutely . gus : yeah . harley : once you get back in the groove , absolutely . gus : excuse me , what ? you think i 've gone soft . harley : no . no . gus : you think just because i sat behind a desk for a couple of months , i ca n't do my job ? harley : honey , that 's not what i mean . gus : what exactly did you mean ? harley : i meant that i just think you should wait a week or two before you go back out on the street , you know ? there 's a lot of that drug , `` d , `` going around and this mob turf war we 're hearing about . there 's a lot of nasty guys , that 's all i 'm saying . gus : you want to talk about nasty ? think about the worst low - life scum on the streets , okay ? they ca n't even compare to the corporate sharks i 've been swimming with for the last couple of months . and i 've got the scars to prove it . olivia : hi . told you i 'd be back . phillip : missed you . where have you been ? olivia : spaulding , to take care of a few things . just looking out for us . what you got there ? this is what i asked you not to do , phillip . phillip : you did ? olivia : yeah . i asked you not to say anything about the baby to anyone , okay ? no one can know . phillip : that 's why i wrote it . so i 'd remember to forget . olivia : yeah , but the fact that it 's on a piece of paper means that somebody might see it , right ? phillip : then how am i supposed to remember ? olivia : you 're going to have to keep it in your head , sweetheart . phillip : i can't . olivia : you have to . look , it 's for emma , all right ? it 's for our little girl . you do n't want anything bad to happen to her , do you ? phillip : no , you 're right . i do n't want anything to happen to her . marah : lie to me . just tell me that everything 's going to be okay . jeffrey : everything is going to be okay , marah . i 'm going to make it so . i promise . i promise . harley : next , on `` guiding light ... `` sam : you 've changed , too , lizzie . lizzie : well , you ca n't believe everything you hear . sam : if i did , i 'd have to believe that you went after my pregnant sister , made her fall down a flight of stairs . olivia : you 're hurting me . let go , sweetheart . | jeffrey and marah break from their passionate kiss at the pool house as he informs her doris wolfe has taken over the case . full of loving concern , jeffrey gives marah tips on how to testify . both realize the hardest part of the trial will be staying away from each other . while they agree it 's the right course of action , chemistry takes over and they find themselves making love . josh and reva react to the arrival of another taunting letter from carrie . harley arrives and shares information she 's found on mc corp , a legal business that carrie created . josh tracks down its corporate address , and he and reva go to check it out . at mc corp , they are stunned to hear carrie talking , but it is only her voice on tape giving instructions to a law student . josh , connecting the student to the messenger who brought carrie 's most recent letter , explains to the student his role in possible harassment , and the student eagerly spills to his role as carrie 's agent . it was he who notified the papers about jeffrey and marah 's relationship . gus has quit and alan 's feelings are hurt . alex reprimands gus but is interrupted by the arrival of olivia who shares rumors of a spaulding stock dive . brad , alex and alan are all seen dumping stock by the end of the day and olivia is pleased at her windfall . but at ravenwood , we see how olivia 's mere presence angers the agitated phillip . harley and gus meet up at the police station , where she rejoices that finally one of her men got out of spaulding before it cost him their relationship . but she worries that gus is going back out on the street to fight drugs . | <s>[INST] phillip : emma . emma , emma , emma .

( cell phone ringing ) let me get this , okay ? hello ? no , i have n't checked the market since breakfast . can i get back to you ? i 'm kind of in the middle of ... um , spaulding enterprises ? ! u what rumors ? how much is it down ? yes , i want you to buy everything the minute it hits bottom . know what ? let me find out why it 's falling first . i 'll get back to you . listen , i have to go . there 's something that 's come up , okay ? but i 'm going to come back , i promise . okay ? do n't forget your cookie . phillip : emma . alexandra : alan ? is gus still in there ? alan : packing his things . alexandra : are you having second thoughts about letting him go ? because it 's the right thing to do , alan . he did betray you . if it did n't happen today , it 'll happen tomorrow , later . alan : it 's not the betrayal , it 's what he accused me of , that he would think so little of his own father . alexandra : i know , i know . alan : i mean , the mob ? that his family would do business with the mob ? alexandra : all right , darling . obviously , he did think that , but to sic the feds on you like that , i 'm sorry , alan , this is the worst kind of betrayal . and the damage he could do to the company -- may have already done to the company -- you 've got to take a look at this alan . at the close our stock dropped 20 points , and tomorrow ... alan : well , it is just beginning . alexandra : alan , i think it might be a good moment to discuss what we talked about earlier . alan : absolutely not , alexandra . we are the spauldings . spauldings do not dump their own stock . we are going to show good faith and know that this company is going to be stronger than ever . alexandra : all right , darling , but speaking strictly speaking financially , alan . all right ... of course , i do n't know . i don't . i just feel the need to do something . alan : i 'll tell you what you can do . you can start distancing yourself from brad greene as soon as possible . just let him swing in the wind , all right ? because he is not one of us . and neither is my son . alexandra : well , i certainly hope you are happy with yourself . josh : it 's from caroline caruthers . `` it was i who sent word to the newspapers . maryanne will have her fair day in court . `` reva : it ca n't be from carrie . she 's dead . josh : it 's her pink stationery , it 's her handwriting . it 's from her . reva : but how . josh : obviously , she arranged to have this sent to me before she died . she must have hired somebody to do it . that 's the only possible explanation . when is this nightmare going to end ? or is it ever going to end ? reva : no , it 's going to end . it 's going to end right now . marah : i 'm so glad you 're here . you should n't be here , though . there are tons of reporters outside . jeffrey : how are you ? you okay ? oh , god . ( sighs ) gus lent me the car . they did n't see me , do n't worry . you feel so good . marah : then do n't let me go . i feel so safe when i 'm with you . jeffrey : well , you know what ? i wish that were true , but the fact of the matter is , marah , i 'm even less able to help you now than i was before . and you 're in more danger . jeffrey : i had to recuse myself from the case , you know . marah : okay . jeffrey : i held on for as long as i could because i knew that every hour that i spent on the case , i could still help you , but now it 's out of my hands . marah : okay , that 's fine . jeffrey : there 's a new prosecutor now , marah . i had to appoint her . she had seniority , but she might not be the right choice . marah : she ? jeffrey : it 's doris wolfe . marah : oh , my gosh . jeffrey : i know she can be a little unpleasant at times , but she 's a seasoned prosecutor . marah : yeah . yeah . she was also furious when she could n't nail my mom . and she does n't really like you every much , either . jeffrey : that 's okay . the fact of the matter is , she 's going to have to deal with the evidence , right ? she 's not going to pull any dirty tricks , she 's not going to withhold evidence because she knows i 'm going to be watching her every step of the way . but ... she 's going to be aggressive , marah . she 's going to be very aggressive . and she 's going to use everything that she can to get to you . and i mean everything . marah : does that include us ? jeffrey : marah , she 's going to attack you , she 's going to attack your character , she 's going to try to portray you as being promiscuous , immoral . marah : that is not fair . we spent one night together , one of the most beautiful nights of my life , and now this woman is going to try and make it seem like it 's fake or gross or ... jeffrey : she can't . hey , she can't . she can't . ( sighs ) because we know what it was . the hardest part is you 're going to have to stay strong . you 've got to stay strong . they 're going to come after you from every angle and you 've got to remember who you are at all times . do you understand that ? it 's critical . and i 'm going to help , too , okay ? the best way i can help right now is not adding more fuel to the fire as far as the press is concerned , so we ca n't see each other anymore . marah : no . jeffrey : marah . marah : no . jeffrey , you keep saying that like it 's a solution , but it 's not , okay ? look , if you want a solution , i need you to stay with me , okay ? i need you to be by my side because i 'm not strong enough to do this without you . i need you . ( sobs ) please . harley : i 'm going to give this to frank . i 'm going to have him check it out . josh : look , this has got to work in our favor , right ? i mean , doris wolfe is going to take one look at that letter and know that carrie had a plan to harass us and a plan to pin her own death on somebody else . reva : yeah , well , wolfe is going to find a way to turn it all around and still pin it on marah . josh : but how ? reva : i do n't know . i really do n't know , but she 'll find a way , believe me . harley : you guys , i hate to say this , but i 'm not sure how much this is actually going to help . i mean , one letter , that does n't make a pattern . josh : yeah , but if you add that to everything else that she did . harley : none of which we can prove . but i think there is a way we can still use this to our advantage . if we can find the person that carrie hired to send this , get them to make a statement , we could use that . josh : maybe we could do that through the messenger service , right ? what was it , speedy messenger or something ? harley : yeah , we could do that , but i think i already know who the client is . reva : who ? harley : well , you know that carrie arranged it so that alan would hold the deed to the fairgrounds , right ? oh , yeah . oh , yeah . that 's how the cops were able to tie him to everything that happened . and she did that by setting up a corporation . josh : a corporation is a public entity , right ? registered with the state . so there 's got to be an address on record somewhere . harley : exactly . so , once i 'm done dropping this off with frank , i 'll get online and see if i can find that address . josh : no , we can do that right here . what 's the name of the corporation ? harley : it 's the mc corporation . reva : mc ? harley : maryanne caruthers . reva : okay , well , once we get the address , then what do we do ? do we go over there ? harley : no , i 'll go over there . josh : no . i 'm going to go over there myself because i am sick and tired of caroline caruthers calling the shots . gus : oh , i 'm thrilled . i feel really terrific about the way everything 's gone down , believe me . alexandra : do you have any idea how you 've hurt your father ? this is a man who opened his arms to you -- he opened his entire company to you -- and how do you pay him back ? you hand him over to the feds on a silver platter . gus : the feds were already all over his company , alexandra . all i did was give him a heads- up -- and a way out -- which never would have been needed unless there was somebody on the inside of this company getting greedy , trying to make a little extra killing on antimonious . and who could that be ? i just do n't know . alexandra : okay , is that an accusation ? gus : well , i do n't know . if it is , would it stick ? alexandra : what , would i tell you if it did ? so you could hand me over to the feds , give them my name , too ? gus : alexandra , they already have your name . why ? because you run the pharmaceutical division with that idiot , brad greene , right ? and now they 've got access to all of your books . alexandra : well , they 're not going to find anything . gus : well , then you 've got nothing to worry about , do you ? alexandra : and if they did find something , that i was wrongfully accused of , it would n't make any difference to you , would it ? not a bit . because you 're not really about doing the right thing , are you ? you 're about settling some old score . gus : hm . let me think about that one . how do i feel about the fact you tried to keep my biological father from knowing me my entire life ? and then you tried to drug him , where i also almost lost him again ? or what do i think about your greedy little corporate schemes that might take my father down , and his company , and his reputation ? i do n't know . do i like it ? ca n't say that i do . would it affect my objectivity ? i do n't know . what do you think ? alexandra : oh , dear . for goodness ' sakes , one might almost get the feeling that you care about your father . and this is the way you thank him ? by quitting when he needs you most ? there 's a certain way to break the man 's heart ! gus : i did not quit . do you understand ? he did n't ask me to stay . alexandra : well , what do you expect him to do ? beg you for all the humiliation you 've heaped upon him ? gus : you could ask me , right ? is that a little too much to expect ? alexandra : yes , it most certainly is . gus : oh , really ? alexandra : considering the damage , it certainly is . gus : alex , i realize that you do n't understand this , but real families out in the world , the ones that are n't trying to sabotage each other each and every single day , they try to communicate . they try to be open . they try to be honest . alexandra : open ? gus : yeah . alexandra : they try to be open , like you were , working undercover here for many , many months . open ? open like going behind your father 's back to set him up with ... gus : oh , please ! let 's ... olivia . olivia : please . do n't stop on my account . olivia : well , now , go ahead . go ahead . where were we ? you went behind alan 's back , you set him up somehow ? gus : no , no , no . just , this one gets all crazy when she gets mad , and why she 's crazy , god knows , but you 're getting what you want , right ? olivia : what is that ? hm ? gus : what does it look like ? i 'm packing up my stuff . i quit . i quit . olivia : you 're kidding . alexandra : and good riddance . olivia : i thought you liked it here , gus . you know , you and alan . gus : this was never a permanent gig . if he does n't remember that , then that 's his problem . olivia : so , he 's not handling it well ? gus : that 's an understatement . alexandra : some of us are extremely happy . gus : yeah , you know , toots , you sound like a broken down old record . you keep repeating yourself . olivia : so this office , phillip 's office , is vacant again , huh ? let me see . oh , yes . i 've always liked this chair . alexandra : oh , no you do n't , dear . spaulding enterprises will survive just fine without your assistance . olivia : that 's strange , i 've heard rumors to the contrary . alexandra : rumors ? olivia : yes . yes , that we 're having some internal problems here , that there 's a scandal looming . is that why you 're leaving , gus ? alexandra : gus is leaving to go back to the force , and any rumors you 've heard , i do n't know where you 've ... brad : alexandra ? i have the revisions on that proposal . alexandra : sorry , duty calls . olivia : so ... gus : so what ? olivia : why are you leaving spaulding ? gus : you heard what she said . olivia : i want the real reason . gus : you do n't need to know the real reason . no , actually , this is one of those situations where less you know , better . olivia : what are we talking gus , legally , morally , what ? gus : the questions , questions . olivia : i have ' vested interest in this company . i 'm phillip 's wife . gus : yes , you are , but i bet he has no idea what you 're up to right . that you 're here , trying out his favorite chair ? i bet he has no idea at all . lizzie : hi , daddy . i 'm back . phillip : yeah . you were here before . i remember . lizzie : yeah , yeah , that 's right . with mom . a lot earlier , though . phillip : where is your mom ? lizzie : she 's at home . but it 's okay that i 'm here . i mean , i 've got the car waiting outside . i was just worried about you . you seemed like you were kind of upset earlier . phillip : listen , there 's something that i want to tell you . lizzie : okay . what daddy ? phillip : you know ... you know i have a hard time remembering things these days , right ? lizzie : yeah , but so do i . that 's okay . phillip : no , because this is important . i want to tell you , there is no baby . okay ? no baby . jeffrey : i want to help you . i 'm going to help you , okay ? that 's why i 'm saying this . you have to forget about me , marah . you 've got to concentrate on yourself , okay ? focus on your survival right now . please . this thing is going to go to trial , do you understand that ? this could go to trial and if it does , do you know what we 're talking about ? we 're talking about years of prison . marah : fine ! jeffrey : years of prison , marah . it 's not fine . marah : ( sobs ) jeffrey : this is a dangerous game , okay ? and i know how to play it far better than you do , so you 've got to listen to me and you 've got to do what i tell you . marah : okay . jeffrey : sit down . we ca n't see each other . and you can not talk to the press under any circumstances and you can not talk to doris wolfe or anyone from law enforcement unless your attorney is present . whatever ross marler tells you and whatever advice he gives you , you 've got to follow it to the letter . do you understand ? what ? marah : what 's going to happen to you ? what 's going to happen to your career ? jeffrey : marah , will you stop it ? do n't worry about me . forget about me , marah . forget about me . marah : no . jeffrey , i can't . i ca n't forget about you , okay ? do you understand ?

( sobbing ) jeffrey : you will . you will . carrie : after you 've sent the last note , have the phone disconnected , clean out the office , wipe all prints , lock the door , dispose of this tape and never come back . if anyone questions you , you never heard of caroline caruthers . thank you for your loyalty . good - bye . reva : what does it really prove ? josh : it proves that she set up and planned everything that happened that night at the fairgrounds . it proves that getting that note to me was the last thing on her agenda and that she 's finally out of our lives for good . reva : so , what now ? josh : now we take this tape to the police station . we hope that it 's enough to get marah off the hook . harley : you know , gus , you really are better off out of spaulding . i mean , things between you and alan are so rocky right now . gus : yeah . `` rocky `` , that 's what they are . harley : you did what you had to do . gus : is frank around ?

you think i 've gone soft . harley : no . no . gus : you think just because i sat behind a desk for a couple of months , i ca n't do my job ? harley : honey , that 's not what i mean . gus : what exactly did you mean ? harley : i meant that i just think you should wait a week or two before you go back out on the street , you know ? there 's a lot of that drug , `` d , `` going around and this mob turf war we 're hearing about . there 's a lot of nasty guys , that 's all i 'm saying . gus : you want to talk about nasty ? think about the worst low - life scum on the streets , okay ? they ca n't even compare to the corporate sharks i 've been swimming with for the last couple of months . and i 've got the scars to prove it . olivia : hi . told you i 'd be back . phillip : missed you . where have you been ? olivia : spaulding , to take care of a few things . just looking out for us . what you got there ? this is what i asked you not to do , phillip . phillip : you did ? olivia : yeah . i asked you not to say anything about the baby to anyone , okay ? no one can know . phillip : that 's why i wrote it . so i 'd remember to forget . olivia : yeah , but the fact that it 's on a piece of paper means that somebody might see it , right ? phillip : then how am i supposed to remember ? olivia : you 're going to have to keep it in your head , sweetheart . phillip : i can't . olivia : you have to . look , it 's for emma , all right ? it 's for our little girl . you do n't want anything bad to happen to her , do you ? phillip : no , you 're right . i do n't want anything to happen to her . marah : lie to me . just tell me that everything 's going to be okay . jeffrey : everything is going to be okay , marah . i 'm going to make it so . i promise . i promise . harley : next , on `` guiding light ... `` sam : you 've changed , too , lizzie . lizzie : well , you ca n't believe everything you hear . sam : if i did , i 'd have to believe that you went after my pregnant sister , made her fall down a flight of stairs . olivia : you 're hurting me . let go , sweetheart .Summarize.[/INST]jeffrey and marah break from their passionate kiss at the pool house as he informs her doris wolfe has taken over the case . full of loving concern , jeffrey gives marah tips on how to testify . both realize the hardest part of the trial will be staying away from each other . while they agree it 's the right course of action , chemistry takes over and they find themselves making love . josh and reva react to the arrival of another taunting letter from carrie . harley arrives and shares information she 's found on mc corp , a legal business that carrie created . josh tracks down its corporate address , and he and reva go to check it out . at mc corp , they are stunned to hear carrie talking , but it is only her voice on tape giving instructions to a law student . josh , connecting the student to the messenger who brought carrie 's most recent letter , explains to the student his role in possible harassment , and the student eagerly spills to his role as carrie 's agent . it was he who notified the papers about jeffrey and marah 's relationship . gus has quit and alan 's feelings are hurt . alex reprimands gus but is interrupted by the arrival of olivia who shares rumors of a spaulding stock dive . brad , alex and alan are all seen dumping stock by the end of the day and olivia is pleased at her windfall . but at ravenwood , we see how olivia 's mere presence angers the agitated phillip . harley and gus meet up at the police station , where she rejoices that finally one of her men got out of spaulding before it cost him their relationship . but she worries that gus is going back out on the street to fight drugs .</s> | 12,617 |

[ scene_break ] stefano : why would i know anything about that ? ej : do n't , father . it 's not a leap . it 's dr. chyka , is n't it ? the man you sent to kristen . the doctor who gave her the drugs that she used to sleep with father eric . oh , come on , father , please . this is beneath you . you know exactly what i 'm talking about . stefano : you want something from me ? show some respect . ej : if you know where he is , you need to tell me where to find him .

[ scene_break ] ej : so tell me , where is dr. chyka right now ? stefano : it is none of your concern . ej : he 's out of control , father . the man needs to be stopped . stefano : he has been . ej : not if he 's running around town trying to kill people , he has n't . one of whom happens to be the son of the police commissioner . there 's already a police search underway , father . even those fools at the salem police department get lucky once in a while . stefano : i just told you . ej : well , you 'll excuse me if i do n't find your reassurances very reassuring . stefano : ah ! you doubt me ? ej : no , i 'd just like to follow up and make sure that he fully understands that he needs to disappear from the face of the earth . so i just need that location , please . stefano : trust me ... you do n't .

[ scene_break ] abigail : no , something is n't right here . and if nick 's done something to gabi , then he needs to answer for it . or at the very least , he needs to try to get help , and that 's why i 'm here , because i have to tell hope . ej : i can assure you gabriella is not in any jeopardy , abigail . abigail : then why is she so upset ? ej : so she confronted him about it . abigail : what did he say ? ej : she was the one who let him have it . it was a pretty ugly fight . fortunately , i happened to be walking past when things took a turn for the worst , and i was able to step in , stop nick . abigail : how ? i have to speak to ej . [ scene_break ] stefano : i know why you want this man , and it is a mistake . ej : so you 're protecting a subordinate ? you 're gon na choose an employee over me ? an employee who just tried to murder two people without orders ? stefano : [ sighs ] do you want to get rid of him or do you want to take him to the police ? ej : either way ... sends a message . stefano : to samantha ? `` look , darling , i have found the man who has hurt your brother , and i have brought him to justice . `` ej : what do you care ? chyka gets what he deserves . stefano : you know something ? it 's not gon na help you , my son . as a matter of fact , it could destroy you .

[ scene_break ] gabi : thank god that ej was there because he was able to convince nick to just back off and move to new york , and i have n't -- i have n't seen him since . sonny : but you heard from him ? gabi : a couple times . he texted me , and i told him to leave me alone , and i have n't heard from him in weeks . sonny : that was really good . gabi : yeah ? sonny : yeah . you wan na run it again ? gabi : no , i got it , i got it . sonny : okay . hey . how 's eric ? will : great . he may not need to spend another night in the hospital . gabi : oh , should we postpone the christening ? will : no , he would n't want us to do that because of him . in fact , he might even be able to make it himself . what are you guys up to ? sonny : we 're just practicing gabi 's story for hope . will : are you ready ? gabi : i think so . just hope -- i mean , i thought we dodged this but ... will : well , we would have if julie was n't so nosy .

[ scene_break ] stefano : why would i know anything about that ? ej : do n't , father . it 's not a leap . it 's dr. chyka , is n't it ? the man you sent to kristen . the doctor who gave her the drugs that she used to sleep with father eric . oh , come on , father , please . this is beneath you . you know exactly what i 'm talking about . stefano : you want something from me ? show some respect . ej : if you know where he is , you need to tell me where to find him .

[ scene_break ] ej : so tell me , where is dr. chyka right now ? stefano : it is none of your concern . ej : he 's out of control , father . the man needs to be stopped . stefano : he has been . ej : not if he 's running around town trying to kill people , he has n't . one of whom happens to be the son of the police commissioner . there 's already a police search underway , father . even those fools at the salem police department get lucky once in a while . stefano : i just told you . ej : well , you 'll excuse me if i do n't find your reassurances very reassuring . stefano : ah ! you doubt me ? ej : no , i 'd just like to follow up and make sure that he fully understands that he needs to disappear from the face of the earth . so i just need that location , please . stefano : trust me ... you do n't .

[ scene_break ] abigail : no , something is n't right here . and if nick 's done something to gabi , then he needs to answer for it . or at the very least , he needs to try to get help , and that 's why i 'm here , because i have to tell hope . ej : i can assure you gabriella is not in any jeopardy , abigail . abigail : then why is she so upset ? ej : so she confronted him about it . abigail : what did he say ? ej : she was the one who let him have it . it was a pretty ugly fight . fortunately , i happened to be walking past when things took a turn for the worst , and i was able to step in , stop nick . abigail : how ? i have to speak to ej . [ scene_break ] stefano : i know why you want this man , and it is a mistake . ej : so you 're protecting a subordinate ? you 're gon na choose an employee over me ? an employee who just tried to murder two people without orders ? stefano : [ sighs ] do you want to get rid of him or do you want to take him to the police ? ej : either way ... sends a message . stefano : to samantha ? `` look , darling , i have found the man who has hurt your brother , and i have brought him to justice . `` ej : what do you care ? chyka gets what he deserves . stefano : you know something ? it 's not gon na help you , my son . as a matter of fact , it could destroy you .

judge : order ! there 'll be order in this courtroom . tartaro : i object ! they 're making a circus out of this proceeding . christine : your honor , rick forrester needs to be heard . only he can speak to the miscarriage of justice that is preventing my client from speaking on his own behalf . tartaro : am i the only one who finds this a little too convenient ? we 've just heard testimony that rick forrester has no recollection of shooting grant chambers . leaving nothing to substantiate the defendant 's claim that his prior conviction was a tragic mistake , directly and solely of his own making . nanoseconds later , in bursts rick to save the day . christine : there 's no conspiracy here , counselor . tartaro : fine . let him testify -- in front of a jury . christine : savage my client ? judge : she has a point . christine : given that rick has come forward of his own volition , we ask for the courts indulgence until the matter is decided . tartaro : it was decided . your motion was denied . judge : i 'm going to use that word again , ms. tartaro , the one you dislike so much -- leeway . tartaro : your honor -- judge : will you give up your right to introduce evidence of the defendant 's prior conviction given the current allegations that are being made about its viability ? tartaro : no . judge : then i see no alternative , at abundance of caution , to hear what the young man has to say . christine : tell us why you came here , rick . rick : i remembered . christine : you remembered shooting grant chambers ? rick : i hated the man . he married my mom . he took all of her time , i barely saw her after that . christine : were you jealous ? rick : i resented the man like i 've resented few people before or since . christine : when did you start to remember what happened ? rick : this morning . i was talking to phoebe and my mom . they came to see me and asked me if i had tried to remember . i told them i tried , nothing -- i could n't remember anything . i took some time alone and i thought about it as much as i possibly could . and it came back to me . everything . the images , the flashes in my head , they were so vivid , so clear , so real . i can -- i can see grant chambers . he 's sitting at his desk . and -- i hated this man . he was wrecking my life . i had to do something about it and this was my chance . i had a gun . i have no idea where it came from . but i raised it . and i -- [ gun being cocked ] [ gunshot ] christine : you fired the gun at grant ? rick : yeah . i 'd never heard anything so loud in my entire life . i 'd never been so scared . i thought , you know , maybe somebody heard me . and i just , all i could do , was look at his body . it was n't moving . he was slumped in his chair , over the desk . and -- i could n't breathe , i could n't move . christine : your witness . tartaro : so ridge is the one who told you what you 'd done . rick : that 's right , yes . tartaro : after he was arrested for killing shane . rick : yes . tartaro : ridge forrester 's daughter , phoebe , she 's your girlfriend , is she not ? rick : she is . tartaro : and your mother , brooke logan , is it fair to say that she and ridge are close ? rick : it 's fair to say , yes . tartaro : what about your mother and you ? close relationship ?

rick : no . tartaro : would you explain that ? rick : i despise the man , i always have . you could ask anybody here . tartaro : despite the fact that you now believe he took the blame for you ? rick : he did n't do it for me . he did it for my mom . as far as i 'm concerned , i do n't owe ridge a damn thing . judge : i think i 've heard all the testimony and given it careful consideration . i 'm going to reverse myself and disallow any mention of ridge forrester 's prior conviction . christine : thank you , your honor . judge : now , in the small matter of your client 's murder charge -- christine : we stipulate to the state 's evidence of obstruction . my client , having panicked after shane took his own life . tartaro : objection -- christine : after shane 's death , excuse me . because of ridge 's mistaken belief that his prior conviction was the legal basis for a murder charge . now , we know that 's not the case , but ridge forrester , a fashion designer with no law training , did not . he heard the voice of that long - ago judge threatening him with dire consequences if he were ever to be involved in another incident involving a firearm . so instead of coming forward , which was his natural instinct -- tartaro : excuse me , judge , should n't a jury be in on this ? christine : we are not contesting the state 's case . except on one issue . how and why shane mcgrath was shot . thanks to granting our motion , your honor , we know that we can safely testify in front of a jury , without the fear of prejudice . however , i still believe , if you were just to listen to what ridge has to say , it would save us a lot of time and taxpayer money . judge : now you 're asking for a bench trail ? christine : yes , your honor . judge : mr. forrester , is that your desire ? ridge : yes , your honor . it is . judge : miss tartaro , will you accept the defendant 's offer to stipulate ? tartaro : are you asking me to accept her theory right along with it ? judge : do you , yes or no ? tartaro : all right , yes . the state rests . judge : miss blair ? christine : the defense calls ridge forrester to the stand . christine : after the gun went off , was that the end of the struggle ? ridge : at first , i did n't know if either one of us had been shot . i was still holding on to shane 's wrists , and he had this wild look in his eye . i half expected him to lunge at me . christine : did he ? ridge : no , we , i guess we both kind of sank to our knees together . christine : shane pulled you down with him ? ridge : yeah . when i let go , he fell backwards . i 'm pretty sure he died instantly . christine : all yours . tartaro : i have no questions for this witness . judge : you may step down . miss blair ? christine : your honor , we move for a direct verdict of `` not guilty `` on the charge of murder in the first degree . judge : i 'm prepared to rule now . mr. forrester , you made a series of horrendously bad decisions , when you determined that mr. mcgrath was dead . you say regret them , and i believe you . so , in the matter of your guilty plea for obstruction , i 'll grant bond in the amount of $ 50,000 , pending sentencing . christine : thank you , your honor . judge : as for the murder charge , based on the facts of this case , the un- contradicted testimony of the only known witness . and as well as the lack of any physical evidence tying the defendant to a criminal act within reasonable doubt , i find the defendant , ridge forrester , not guilty . mr. forrester , you 're free to go .

i 've been leaving messages for you all over town . you know , it 's not my job to worry about you . i 've got my own kids to worry about . but something tells me you 're not mia on purpose . look , harley wants to talk to you . so stop messing around . call me , tell me you 're safe . gus : how bout you give me some water ? and some pepto . my ulcer 's killing me . i 'm talking to you ! they can lock you up , baby , and they can lock me up , but they ca n't keep us apart . i 'll get out of here somehow . mallet : hey . harley : hey . mallet : any luck ? harley : well , i have sniffed hundreds of perfume samples , and all i got is a headache and a roommate who 's tired of hearing me sneeze . mallet : so nothing like the perfume you remember from the night of phillip 's murder ? harley : none of them . or all of them . i do n't know . i do n't even know what jasmine smells like anymore . mallet : well , you were pretty sure about it when it came back to you outside my office . that 's why i brought you the samples . harley : i know . but now my nose is so over stimulated i ca n't tell what i 'm smelling . and i 'm even more confused about what i actually do remember from that night . which is what you wanted . oh , please . you do n't want me to catch the real killer . you want me to stay here stuck here in this place with you . well , do n't you ? mallet : you tell me , harley . this portion of `` guiding light `` is sponsored by tide . works wonders . danny : we need to talk about funeral arrangements . michelle : i mean , it was only a few days ago we were planning our wedding . now we got to plan his funeral ? danny : well , i think that ray would agree that tony would n't want something big with a lot of people ... michelle : no , no . danny : ... standing up and saying stuff about him . michelle : don't . definitely keep it simple . danny : we 'll figure it out , michelle . one thing at a time . michelle ... michelle : you know what ? do n't really . because i know what you 're going to say . no . how could we even look at each other knowing what tony did for us ? danny : for us ? frank : hey . i heard you were at the hospital . marina : tony 's ... frank : i know . i heard . how are you holding up ? sweetie , this is just one of the reasons why i do n't want you seeing danny . this is what his life 's all about . marina : daddy , no lectures today . please . i just ca n't take it . frank : okay , honey , no lectures . that 's not why i 'm here . harley : i know what you 're trying to do . mallet : oh , man . i know incarceration breathes paranoia , but yours kicked in real fast . harley : i am not being paranoid . you keep saying you want to help me , but you 're doing everything in your power to keep me from communicating with the one person who canctually help me . mallet : whoa , whoa . i brought you those perfume samples to help you , which is what i 've been trying to do since the day you got here . harley : i do n't want your help ! when are you going to get the message ? mallet : oh , i got it . the only man worthy of coming to your rescue is gus aitoro . let 's see , the guy who bumbled your trial , put you in harms way again and again . harley : it does n't matter . it 's still my choice . mallet : yeah , i know it is . that 's why i called him . harley : what ? mallet : i called the guy . i left him a message , okay . two , actually . no response . i guess your efforts to push him away really worked . harley : why should i believe a word you say ? this is exactly what you want . now you get to step in there and you get to be the big hero , do n't you ? mallet : no , no , no . no , thanks . no , thanks . i actually prefer my women available . harley : just stay away from me . mallet : listen , what we had was what we had . but there 's nothing between us now , and there wo n't be , okay . that 's why i 'm the perfect guy to help you out . harley : and that 's why i keep telling you for what i hope is the last time i do n't want your help , okay ? thank you for the perfume samples . i 'll pursue this on my own . mallet : ( sighs ) right . from your cell . with limited phone and restricted e - mail time ? right , okay . you do realize how ridiculous that sounds , do n't you ? no , of course you don't . because you 're ... you 're ... you 're you . oh , hey , buzz . your daughter 's right over there . oh , and you 'll be delighted to know that prison has n't changed her a bit . ross : rumor has it , edmund , that you 're leaving town . is that right ? edmund : are you here to give me an official send - off , mayor ? ross : i 'm here to make sure that you get on that airplane . because i know that what you say and what you do can be two completely different things . edmund : you know , ross , you should stop meddling in other people 's business . especially your daughter 's . if you have n't noticed , she does n't appreciate it . ross : well , dinah seldom knows what 's best for her . edmund : and you do ? ross : i do know that it 's not you . so you wanted a baby so you could hold on to cassie . that means you needed somebody vulnerable and needy to be your pawn . edmund : dinah is not my pawn . ross : edmund , you took advantage of her feelings for you and used her in the worst possible way . and that 's why i want you on that plane and out of my daughter 's life . jeffrey : what 's wrong ? cassie : it 's will . jeffrey : is he sick ? cassie : i just got this . it 's from alonzo in san cristobel . he is will 's biological father , and he wants me to send him down there so he could be schooled at the palace in royal tradition . jeffrey : cassie , this is n't just a request . cassie : i know . that 's a royal decree . that 's why i called you . jeffrey : and this just came out of the blue ? cassie : no . part of my unofficial adoption agreement was that will would go down to san cristobel and at some point be schooled to be a prince . now i thought this was going to happen when he was much older or when he was a teenager . and i thought by then i could talk to alonzo and figure something out . jeffrey : cassie , he 's the heir to the throne . cassie : he 's a four - year - old little boy , jeffrey . and he needs to be with his mother . and i am not going to send him down there to a country he does n't know , with a man he does n't know , and he 's going to be surrounded by nannies and guards . i 'm not going to do it . jeffrey : calm down . cassie : i 'm scared . now , please tell me what i can do . jeffrey : let me see . you know , you need to get in touch with someone in the state department and probably hire a lawyer who 's very well - versed with international law . cassie , i 'm sorry . that 's not me . cassie : so what are you saying , you 're just not going to help me ? jeffrey : no , i 'll help you , okay . i 'll help you . i 'm just saying you that you need to retain an expert . so i 'll look into it , okay . we 'll get you a big gun on board . how 's that ? cassie : fine , okay . thanks . jeffrey : okay . cassie : no , really . thank you . thank you so much . i really do n't know what i would do without you . jeffrey : yeah , i understand that . but you know what ? there 's something that you need to understand . you ca n't keep , you know , just letting me in and calling me when you need me to help you with something . because i will , you know . i will always help you . because that 's what i do . but you know , there is something between us , something real and special . i 'm doing my part and you 're not doing yours . so either put yourself into it or let it go . that way we can both get on with our lives . i 'll be in touch . frank : give me a second , honey , okay ? good , you got my message . jeffrey : about the santos accident ? yeah . marina : you guys want to question danny and michelle , do n't you ? ca n't you guys just give them a couple of days ? they just lost someone they loved in a terrible accident . they are grieving . give them a couple of days . frank : honey , please . listen , you need to just take a step back , okay . you need to stop worrying about danny so much , and start thinking about yourself . marina : you know what ? i 'm already a step ahead of you , dad . because i already talked to michelle and i told her that i think that she and danny need this time alone together . and i 'm staying completely out of it , okay ? my choice . michelle : you know what ? i 'm going to be back soon . just give him a kiss for me . thanks . he 's fine . he 's sleeping . danny : michelle , do you think tony ... i mean , what are you saying ? you think he sacrificed himself for us ? michelle : ( sighs ) i ... i did n't mean it that way , okay . i just meant that tony made a choice . you know , he put our lives above his own and decided that we ... i do n't even know why i brought it up . i ... danny : he decided that we what ? michelle : ... ca n't talk about it . danny : look , i do n't understand . what went on with you and tony after i left vegas ? who called off the wedding ? was it you ? why ? michelle : listen , i really do n't think we should talk about this right now , okay ? danny : why ? michelle : because tony is dead . okay , out of respect for tony . danny : well , michelle , we ca n't just avoid it . can we ? michelle : i 'm not saying avoid it forever . i 'm just saying i do n't think right now is the right time , okay ? danny : did you call off the wedding because you want to be with me ? michelle : danny , i just can't ... i 'm sorry . i feel so guilty , i can't ... danny : just tell me , michelle . is that why you called off the wedding , because of us ? jeffrey : danny ? i need to talk to you . michelle , i think frank needs to speak to you as well . buzz : hey , you . harley : hi , daddy . guard : hey . harley : no touching . buzz : forgot . harley : it 's okay . everybody forgets . buzz : must be rough on gus . harley : well , we have n't actually had an official visit yet . buzz : alex said she visited you . harley : she did . it was about alan . lena ? lena : yeah . harley : this is my dad , buzz cooper . buzz : hi . lena : how are you doing ? harley : this is lena , my cell mate . buzz : nice to meet you . lena : yes , it 's nice to meet you . you have a great daughter . buzz : well , thanks . harley : she 's pretty great herself . lena : no . no , no , no . buzz : um ... so you have a visitor today ? lena : well , we 'll see . anyway , you two , you have a great visit . buzz : okay . lena : come on , let me have the cell phone . quick , come on ... guard : i do n't think so . lena : come on . guard : this ai n't free . lena : spaulding , this is an update . listen , this one is really going to cost you . i hate this . harley , is just as ... yeah , yeah , i know . you do n't care . all right , fine . but i do . you know i thought this was going to be simple for me , you know . it 's a role . i mean , like any other role . but , you know , i watch this kid . she has a family , and they love her and she loves them . ( sighs ) yeah , yeah , yeah . okay , okay . here it goes . she thinks she remembers something about the night that your son was murdered . yeah , it 's something to do with the smell of perfume . jasmine , she thinks . all right , if you do appreciate this then you 're going to send my daughter a bigger money order , you understand ? twice as much . twice . i need her to come here . i ... i need to see her . i need to see her here so she can thank me . gus : hello ? it 's getting very hot . can i have some water , please ? disguised voice : you 're doing okay , mr . aitoro . tell me that you 'll drop the investigation and stop looking for the real killer and i will let you out into the cool night air . gus : ( laughs ) you can go to hell ! you can go to hell . harley : what did mallet say to you when you came in ? buzz : what did he say to you right before that ? harley : nothing . really . he 's just his same - old obnoxious self . nothing 's changed . buzz : that 's sort of what he said about you . what 's this ? harley : this is just a silly project that i 'm working on . tell me about my boys . are they all grown - up ? buzz : honey , it 's been a couple of weeks . harley : feels like a year to me . hey , do n't forget to sign up zach for that soccer camp . buzz : i did . i did . um , have you hear from gus ? harley : gus ? no , not since i came in . why ? buzz : would you have expected to have heard from him by now ? harley : why ? buzz : oh , it 's probably nothing . harley : daddy , what 's going on ? buzz : it 's probably nothing , honey . harley : oh , my gosh . tell me . buzz : he seems to have disappeared . harley : disappeared ? you think something happened to him . you think someone got to him . phillip 's killer ? gus : coming up on `` guiding light ... `` harley : he did not just disappear . something has happened to him . i 'm sure of it . either phillip 's killer got to him , or they are already after him . either way i have to help him . i have to get out of here . oprah : her husband became a woman . cassie : edmund . rossatre yoi her edmund : ross and his friend , ralph , wanted to make sure i left town . cassie : ross , you and vanessa are way out of line . now , we have a legal- binding contract with your daughter to carry our child , and you 've got to stop harassing us . ross : cassie , you were the one who wanted edmund to leave . cassie : i 've changed my mind . edmund : you have ? ross : why ? look , that 's between me and my husband . so if you do n't mind . ross : you know , you keep telling me that this is none of my business , but it is . because not only do i love my daughter , i care about what happens to you . and so long as you 're with this man , you 're begging for trouble . edmund : cassie . cassie : this isn't ... this is n't what you think . all right ? this is about will . edmund : will ? what happened to him ? where is he ? cassie : alonzo sent me that , and he wants me to send him will . edmund : he 's getting pressure from the people around him . cassie : edmund , i am so afraid for my little boy . i talked to jeffrey , but i know that you can help me . i know that you 'll know what to do . edmund : and this is why you do n't want me to leave ? no other reason ? cassie : edmund , the only thing i can think about is hanging onto my little boy . are you going to help me ? i mean , yes or no ? edmund : of course , cassie . of course i will . dinah : okay . flight attendant : miss , please sit back down and buckle your seat belt . we 're about to take off . dinah : i can't . my friend that i 'm supposed to be traveling with is not here . i need to get off the plane . flight attendant : it 's too late . we 're already on the taxiway . so please sit back down . dinah : ma'am , i ca n't travel without him . flight attendant : sit please . jeffrey : so danny , this argument that you had with tony , what prompted it ? danny : i do n't see why that matters . jeffrey : just tell me , okay . i 'll decide that . well , marina , if you do n't mind . marina : you know actually i do mind . okay , look , i know you and my dad have a job to do , but this just happened . so can it wait ? danny : marina , it 's okay . marina : no , it 's not okay , danny . have you looked at your watch ? because it 's time for you to go pick up robbie . his son who just lost his uncle and is getting used to having his mother around again , okay ? danny did n't do anything , and he 's not going anywhere . so just it the night . jeffrey : all right . but i do need a statement . danny : okay . i 'll come to your office in the morning . jeffrey : okay . danny , i 'm sorry for your loss . danny : i do n't have to pick up robbie . marina : was i out of line ? danny : yeah . it 's okay , i 'm not complaining . the last person i want to see right now is o'neill . marina : kind of figured . danny : i 'm really sorry . marina : for what ? danny : it 's just ... i know you did not sign up for this . marina : danny , i do n't remember signing anything . michelle : so after we came back from vegas , then tony tracked me down here and we went to laurel falls . he was trying to convince me to give him another chance . and i told him that i was confused and i needed to talk to danny . and he got really upset . frank : did danny go there with you ? michelle : no . i mean , he just showed up . i do n't know , he might have been there already . and when tony saw danny he lost it . and at one point he shoved me , and danny had to push him away from me . and they were just really close to the edge , you know , and tony lost his balance and they both went over . frank : michelle , why do you think tony lost it ? i mean , did you tell him that you thought that maybe you and danny might be getting back together again ? michelle : are you asking me as a police chief or are you asking me as marina 's dad ? frank : both . michelle : well , i think both of you should mind your own business . harley : when is the last time that you saw gus ? what did he say to you ? gus : he got two messages from someone that he was hinting that he knew who the real killer was . and the second message suggested that it was someone who lives in the spaulding house . harley : did he say that he felt that the messages were legit ? buzz : yeah . harley : did he have any idea who sent them ? buzz : he left me a message that he was going to look into it . that 's the last i heard of him . i checked all over the place . no one has seen him . harley : this is bad . this is really , really bad . buzz : i just ... i 've run out of places to look . i thought maybe you 'd have some suggests , you 'd have some ideas . harley : what if something has happened to him , daddy ? what if he 's actually hurt ? why did n't you tell me about this before ? sorry , that 's my fault . buzz : honey , i did n't want to tell you this time because i knew it would upset you . there 's probably a logical explanation for this . harley : like what , he 's on a golfing trip ? buzz : i do n't know . harley : of course you do n't know , because there is n't one . gus was living and breathing my case 24 hours a day . he did not just disappear . something has happened to him . i know it . either phillip 's killer got to him or they 're after him . either way i have to help him . i have to help him . disguised voice : what are waiting for ? you said you were thirsty ? gus : cause you gave me a bottle that 's open . you could have put something in here . you want me to drink something , you have to give me a bottle that is sealed . that i will drink . disguised voice : suit yourself . have a nice night . stay warm . oh , and i 'll say hello to harley for you . gus : if you touch her , i will kill you . i 'll kill you . edmund : you will not lose will , cassie . i promise you . he 's my son , too . and i 'm not going to let anything happen to him . i 'm not going to let anything happen to any of our children . cassie : okay . edmund : cassie , i know you 're not inclined to trust me these days . cassie : no , i do . i do when it comes to this because i know that you love the boys , and i so ... i appreciate you being here , edmund . i really do . ( crying ) edmund : it 's okay . cassie : look , maybe this was just a mistake . edmund : cassie , please . cassie : no , you know , because this is n't fair . here i am asking you to help me , but i 'm not going to give you anything in return . edmund , i 'm sorry , but i 'm just not ready to be with you . edmund : cassie , i understand . i do . i 'm sorry . cassie : no . look , i just want to be honest with you about what this is and what it isn't . jeffrey is working on things here . so maybe you could do more good in san cristobel . marina : dad . frank : hold on one second , honey . michelle , listen , i 'm sorry about all the questions , but ... michelle : i know . i know it 's your job . i understand . look , i got to go talk to danny so we could make these arrangements , okay ? frank : okay . i 'm very proud of you . marina : for what ? frank : well , for handling danny the right way . i know you care about him , honey . marina : yeah . well , i do n't want to be with him unless he wants to be with me . you know the old saying : if you love something let it go , and if it comes back to you it was meant to be . frank : yeah , well , unfortunately sometimes they just do n't come back . marina : yeah . well , i have to take that chance . michelle : so should we do something for tony at st . michael 's ? danny : i do n't want to talk about that until you answer my question . why did n't you marry tony ? is it because you wanted us to get back together ? michelle : if i had , how would you have felt about it ? danny : if you 'd come back from vegas and told me you realized you did n't want to be with tony and i 'm the one you want to be with ? michelle , a large part of me would have wanted to say yes . the part of me that loves you and has always loved you . michelle : and the other part ? danny : michelle , i have worked so hard to move on . there 's a part of me , the other part , that cares about marina . michelle : i kind of figured that . so which part are you feeling stronger right now ? i kind of figured that , too . oh , boy . buzz : could you repeat that ? i could have sworn you said that ... harley : i said i have to get out of here . buzz : honey , this is a jail . you can't ... you just ca n't do that . you ca n't walk out when you feel like it . harley : no , but you can . how 's your heart ? buzz : my heart 's fine . harley : i do n't think it is . i think you 're going to have a relapse , daddy . you 're going to end up in the hospital tonight . come on . we can get rick to say this is a life - or - death situation . mel can petition a judge ... buzz : honey , no judge is going to do that . you 're in here for murder . harley : okay , maybe that 's not doable . but there 's something else we can do . buzz : honey , listen . no one wants you out of here more than me . but it 's not going to happen . harley : there 's something . i know there 's something . gus could be anywhere right now . i have to do something . buzz : well , you could do it from the inside , you know . give us ideas . we 'll check out places . and when we find him we 'll tell you . harley : that 's not good enough . i can not just sit on the sidelines . gus could be out there fighting for his life because of me . no . there has to be a way for me to get out of here . there has to be ! edmund : i will take care of this , cassie . i will make sure you always have your son . cassie : okay . so where do we go from here ? what 's our first move ? edmund : i pick up the phone , i get alonzo on the line and i tell him what he 's doing to you is completely unacceptable . cassie : all right , well , i want to be on the extension . i want to hear everything he says , okay ? edmund : all right .

harley : none of them . or all of them . i do n't know . i do n't even know what jasmine smells like anymore . mallet : well , you were pretty sure about it when it came back to you outside my office . that 's why i brought you the samples . harley : i know . but now my nose is so over stimulated i ca n't tell what i 'm smelling . and i 'm even more confused about what i actually do remember from that night . which is what you wanted . oh , please . you do n't want me to catch the real killer . you want me to stay here stuck here in this place with you . well , do n't you ?

do n't really . because i know what you 're going to say . no . how could we even look at each other knowing what tony did for us ? danny : for us ? frank : hey . i heard you were at the hospital . marina : tony 's ... frank : i know . i heard . how are you holding up ? sweetie , this is just one of the reasons why i do n't want you seeing danny . this is what his life 's all about . marina : daddy , no lectures today . please . i just ca n't take it . frank : okay , honey , no lectures . that 's not why i 'm here . harley : i know what you 're trying to do . mallet : oh , man . i know incarceration breathes paranoia , but yours kicked in real fast . harley : i am not being paranoid . you keep saying you want to help me , but you 're doing everything in your power to keep me from communicating with the one person who canctually help me . mallet : whoa , whoa . i brought you those perfume samples to help you , which is what i 've been trying to do since the day you got here . harley : i do n't want your help ! when are you going to get the message ?

no , of course you don't . because you 're ... you 're ... you 're you . oh , hey , buzz . your daughter 's right over there . oh , and you 'll be delighted to know that prison has n't changed her a bit . ross : rumor has it , edmund , that you 're leaving town . is that right ? edmund : are you here to give me an official send - off , mayor ? ross : i 'm here to make sure that you get on that airplane . because i know that what you say and what you do can be two completely different things . edmund : you know , ross , you should stop meddling in other people 's business . especially your daughter 's . if you have n't noticed , she does n't appreciate it . ross : well , dinah seldom knows what 's best for her . edmund : and you do ? ross : i do know that it 's not you . so you wanted a baby so you could hold on to cassie . that means you needed somebody vulnerable and needy to be your pawn . edmund : dinah is not my pawn . ross : edmund , you took advantage of her feelings for you and used her in the worst possible way . and that 's why i want you on that plane and out of my daughter 's life . jeffrey : what 's wrong ? cassie : it 's will . jeffrey : is he sick ? cassie : i just got this . it 's from alonzo in san cristobel . he is will 's biological father , and he wants me to send him down there so he could be schooled at the palace in royal tradition . jeffrey : cassie , this is n't just a request . cassie : i know . that 's a royal decree . that 's why i called you . jeffrey : and this just came out of the blue ? cassie : no . part of my unofficial adoption agreement was that will would go down to san cristobel and at some point be schooled to be a prince . now i thought this was going to happen when he was much older or when he was a teenager . and i thought by then i could talk to alonzo and figure something out . jeffrey : cassie , he 's the heir to the throne . cassie : he 's a four - year - old little boy , jeffrey . and he needs to be with his mother . and i am not going to send him down there to a country he does n't know , with a man he does n't know , and he 's going to be surrounded by nannies and guards . i 'm not going to do it . jeffrey : calm down . cassie : i 'm scared . now , please tell me what i can do . jeffrey : let me see . you know , you need to get in touch with someone in the state department and probably hire a lawyer who 's very well - versed with international law . cassie , i 'm sorry . that 's not me . cassie : so what are you saying , you 're just not going to help me ? jeffrey : no , i 'll help you , okay . i 'll help you . i 'm just saying you that you need to retain an expert . so i 'll look into it , okay . we 'll get you a big gun on board . how 's that ? cassie : fine , okay . thanks . jeffrey : okay . cassie : no , really . thank you . thank you so much . i really do n't know what i would do without you . jeffrey : yeah , i understand that . but you know what ? there 's something that you need to understand . you ca n't keep , you know , just letting me in and calling me when you need me to help you with something . because i will , you know . i will always help you . because that 's what i do . but you know , there is something between us , something real and special . i 'm doing my part and you 're not doing yours . so either put yourself into it or let it go . that way we can both get on with our lives . i 'll be in touch . frank : give me a second , honey , okay ? good , you got my message . jeffrey : about the santos accident ? yeah . marina : you guys want to question danny and michelle , do n't you ? ca n't you guys just give them a couple of days ? they just lost someone they loved in a terrible accident . they are grieving . give them a couple of days . frank : honey , please . listen , you need to just take a step back , okay . you need to stop worrying about danny so much , and start thinking about yourself . marina : you know what ? i 'm already a step ahead of you , dad . because i already talked to michelle and i told her that i think that she and danny need this time alone together . and i 'm staying completely out of it , okay ? my choice . michelle : you know what ? i 'm going to be back soon . just give him a kiss for me . thanks . he 's fine . he 's sleeping . danny : michelle , do you think tony ... i mean , what are you saying ? you think he sacrificed himself for us ? michelle : ( sighs ) i ... i did n't mean it that way , okay . i just meant that tony made a choice . you know , he put our lives above his own and decided that we ... i do n't even know why i brought it up . i ... danny : he decided that we what ? michelle : ... ca n't talk about it . danny : look , i do n't understand . what went on with you and tony after i left vegas ? who called off the wedding ? was it you ? why ? michelle : listen , i really do n't think we should talk about this right now , okay ? danny : why ? michelle : because tony is dead . okay , out of respect for tony . danny : well , michelle , we ca n't just avoid it . can we ? michelle : i 'm not saying avoid it forever . i 'm just saying i do n't think right now is the right time , okay ? danny : did you call off the wedding because you want to be with me ? michelle : danny , i just can't ... i 'm sorry . i feel so guilty , i can't ... danny : just tell me , michelle . is that why you called off the wedding , because of us ? jeffrey : danny ? i need to talk to you . michelle , i think frank needs to speak to you as well . buzz : hey , you . harley : hi , daddy . guard : hey . harley : no touching . buzz : forgot . harley : it 's okay . everybody forgets . buzz : must be rough on gus . harley : well , we have n't actually had an official visit yet . buzz : alex said she visited you . harley : she did . it was about alan . lena ? lena : yeah . harley : this is my dad , buzz cooper . buzz : hi . lena : how are you doing ? harley : this is lena , my cell mate . buzz : nice to meet you . lena : yes , it 's nice to meet you . you have a great daughter . buzz : well , thanks . harley : she 's pretty great herself . lena : no . no , no , no . buzz : um ... so you have a visitor today ? lena : well , we 'll see . anyway , you two , you have a great visit . buzz : okay . lena : come on , let me have the cell phone . quick , come on ... guard : i do n't think so . lena : come on . guard : this ai n't free . lena : spaulding , this is an update . listen , this one is really going to cost you . i hate this . harley , is just as ... yeah , yeah , i know . you do n't care . all right , fine . but i do . you know i thought this was going to be simple for me , you know . it 's a role . i mean , like any other role . but , you know , i watch this kid . she has a family , and they love her and she loves them . ( sighs ) yeah , yeah , yeah . okay , okay . here it goes . she thinks she remembers something about the night that your son was murdered . yeah , it 's something to do with the smell of perfume . jasmine , she thinks . all right , if you do appreciate this then you 're going to send my daughter a bigger money order , you understand ? twice as much . twice . i need her to come here . i ... i need to see her . i need to see her here so she can thank me . gus : hello ? it 's getting very hot . can i have some water , please ? disguised voice : you 're doing okay , mr . aitoro . tell me that you 'll drop the investigation and stop looking for the real killer and i will let you out into the cool night air . gus : ( laughs ) you can go to hell ! you can go to hell . harley : what did mallet say to you when you came in ? buzz : what did he say to you right before that ? harley : nothing . really . he 's just his same - old obnoxious self . nothing 's changed . buzz : that 's sort of what he said about you . what 's this ? harley : this is just a silly project that i 'm working on . tell me about my boys . are they all grown - up ? buzz : honey , it 's been a couple of weeks . harley : feels like a year to me . hey , do n't forget to sign up zach for that soccer camp . buzz : i did . i did . um , have you hear from gus ? harley : gus ? no , not since i came in . why ? buzz : would you have expected to have heard from him by now ? harley : why ? buzz : oh , it 's probably nothing . harley : daddy , what 's going on ? buzz : it 's probably nothing , honey . harley : oh , my gosh . tell me . buzz : he seems to have disappeared . harley : disappeared ? you think something happened to him . you think someone got to him . phillip 's killer ? gus : coming up on `` guiding light ... `` harley : he did not just disappear . something has happened to him . i 'm sure of it . either phillip 's killer got to him , or they are already after him . either way i have to help him . i have to get out of here . oprah : her husband became a woman . cassie : edmund . rossatre yoi her edmund : ross and his friend , ralph , wanted to make sure i left town . cassie : ross , you and vanessa are way out of line . now , we have a legal- binding contract with your daughter to carry our child , and you 've got to stop harassing us . ross : cassie , you were the one who wanted edmund to leave . cassie : i 've changed my mind . edmund : you have ? ross : why ? look , that 's between me and my husband . so if you do n't mind . ross : you know , you keep telling me that this is none of my business , but it is . because not only do i love my daughter , i care about what happens to you . and so long as you 're with this man , you 're begging for trouble . edmund : cassie . cassie : this isn't ... this is n't what you think . all right ? this is about will . edmund : will ? what happened to him ? where is he ? cassie : alonzo sent me that , and he wants me to send him will . edmund : he 's getting pressure from the people around him . cassie : edmund , i am so afraid for my little boy . i talked to jeffrey , but i know that you can help me . i know that you 'll know what to do . edmund : and this is why you do n't want me to leave ? no other reason ? cassie : edmund , the only thing i can think about is hanging onto my little boy . are you going to help me ? i mean , yes or no ? edmund : of course , cassie . of course i will . dinah : okay . flight attendant : miss , please sit back down and buckle your seat belt . we 're about to take off . dinah : i can't . my friend that i 'm supposed to be traveling with is not here . i need to get off the plane . flight attendant : it 's too late . we 're already on the taxiway . so please sit back down . dinah : ma'am , i ca n't travel without him . flight attendant : sit please . jeffrey : so danny , this argument that you had with tony , what prompted it ? danny : i do n't see why that matters . jeffrey : just tell me , okay . i 'll decide that . well , marina , if you do n't mind . marina : you know actually i do mind . okay , look , i know you and my dad have a job to do , but this just happened . so can it wait ? danny : marina , it 's okay . marina : no , it 's not okay , danny . have you looked at your watch ? because it 's time for you to go pick up robbie . his son who just lost his uncle and is getting used to having his mother around again , okay ? danny did n't do anything , and he 's not going anywhere . so just it the night . jeffrey : all right . but i do need a statement . danny : okay . i 'll come to your office in the morning . jeffrey : okay . danny , i 'm sorry for your loss . danny : i do n't have to pick up robbie . marina : was i out of line ? danny : yeah . it 's okay , i 'm not complaining . the last person i want to see right now is o'neill . marina : kind of figured . danny : i 'm really sorry . marina : for what ? danny : it 's just ... i know you did not sign up for this . marina : danny , i do n't remember signing anything . michelle : so after we came back from vegas , then tony tracked me down here and we went to laurel falls . he was trying to convince me to give him another chance . and i told him that i was confused and i needed to talk to danny . and he got really upset . frank : did danny go there with you ? michelle : no . i mean , he just showed up . i do n't know , he might have been there already . and when tony saw danny he lost it . and at one point he shoved me , and danny had to push him away from me . and they were just really close to the edge , you know , and tony lost his balance and they both went over . frank : michelle , why do you think tony lost it ? i mean , did you tell him that you thought that maybe you and danny might be getting back together again ? michelle : are you asking me as a police chief or are you asking me as marina 's dad ? frank : both . michelle : well , i think both of you should mind your own business . harley : when is the last time that you saw gus ? what did he say to you ? gus : he got two messages from someone that he was hinting that he knew who the real killer was . and the second message suggested that it was someone who lives in the spaulding house . harley : did he say that he felt that the messages were legit ? buzz : yeah . harley : did he have any idea who sent them ? buzz : he left me a message that he was going to look into it . that 's the last i heard of him . i checked all over the place . no one has seen him . harley : this is bad . this is really , really bad . buzz : i just ... i 've run out of places to look . i thought maybe you 'd have some suggests , you 'd have some ideas . harley : what if something has happened to him , daddy ? what if he 's actually hurt ? why did n't you tell me about this before ? sorry , that 's my fault . buzz : honey , i did n't want to tell you this time because i knew it would upset you . there 's probably a logical explanation for this . harley : like what , he 's on a golfing trip ? buzz : i do n't know . harley : of course you do n't know , because there is n't one . gus was living and breathing my case 24 hours a day . he did not just disappear . something has happened to him . i know it . either phillip 's killer got to him or they 're after him . either way i have to help him . i have to help him . disguised voice : what are waiting for ? you said you were thirsty ? gus : cause you gave me a bottle that 's open . you could have put something in here . you want me to drink something , you have to give me a bottle that is sealed . that i will drink . disguised voice : suit yourself . have a nice night . stay warm . oh , and i 'll say hello to harley for you . gus : if you touch her , i will kill you . i 'll kill you . edmund : you will not lose will , cassie . i promise you . he 's my son , too . and i 'm not going to let anything happen to him . i 'm not going to let anything happen to any of our children . cassie : okay . edmund : cassie , i know you 're not inclined to trust me these days . cassie : no , i do . i do when it comes to this because i know that you love the boys , and i so ... i appreciate you being here , edmund . i really do .

jj : it did n't seem like chad minded . gabi : yeah , well , he was n't thinking clearly , and neither was i. jj , i was convicted of a murder , and that 's -- that 's public record . that 's never gon na go away .

'cause it sure as hell seems like you did . chad : losing abby , it , uh , -- it hurt so much , but it was like the pain kept her alive . louis : and now the pain is lessening . chad : yeah . it -- it feels like the more it does , the more i 'm letting her go . loving her is just slipping into the past , and i hate that , because it feels like i 'm betraying her .

victor : you know , jack and i just decided to put down our arms . and now with victoria on board , the outlook for the company has never been better . nick : oh , i can feel it coming . there is where you pitch me on coming back to work for you at newman enterprises , and this is where i tell you that my club is reopening tonight and the underground is the only place i want to be . victor : all right . do n't think there has n't been many a time when i wish my only son were with me at the helm of my company . but that is not what i came here to discuss . i wanted to talk about something else . nick : well , i did n't know there was anything else for you except newman . victor : what do you know about gabriel bingham ? victoria : if it is n't the man who broke the internet yesterday . billy : i guess you heard i tanked my wedding , huh ? victoria : i think pretty much the whole world heard . billy : [ chuckles ] victoria : [ sighs ] i would say bravo for calling chelsea out , but i know congratulations are n't in order right now . i know it was awful . billy : yeah , well , it needed to happen . chelsea and i , we were a mistake from the beginning . and getting her out of my life was the best thing that could have happened to me . chelsea : thanks for coming to watch connor on such short notice . i have to get to my meeting , and he has n't started daycare yet . speaking of my meeting , i 'm running late , so if you want to get started on the lecture , start now . anita : lecture ? chelsea : i know you 've probably been rehearsing your little speech about what a wreck i 've made of my life because i cheated on billy and now i wo n't be marrying an abbott . anita : all i care about is my baby 's feelings . and your future prospects . chelsea : what future prospects ? billy hates me . my relationship is over . anita : who said anything about billy ? stitch : okay , so that picture of sharon breaking into austin 's apartment ... abby : it could have been doctored . there were traces of latex found in sharon 's fingerprints on the tire iron , which means they could have been transferred . stitch : in other words , sharon could be as innocent as she says she is . abby : noah is relieved . stitch : yeah , well , i wish i was . because if sharon did n't kill austin or courtney , somebody else did . and if he or she finds out we have n't stopped investigating , then we 're still targets . abby : no one knows that better than me . stitch : nothing is gon na happen to you . i told you . i 'm not gon na let you get hurt again , okay ? ashley : okay . i mean , that 's it . if my daughter 's charms are just too potent that you ca n't act like a professional , maybe you should look for a job someplace else . kyle : thanks . bye . so , guy at the deli just confirmed they closed at 6 : 00 . summer : you were right , kevin . i mean , the lights would not be on at 9 : 00 , and that 's what the timestamp says . kevin : it was definitely forged . noah : so my mom was framed . kevin : it sure looks that way . noah : so , what are we doing ? let 's go see paul . kevin : he thinks he 's already id 'd the killer . he 's not gon na listen to us . noah : well , we need to make him listen , kevin . kevin : when has that ever worked ? the information needs to come from someone he trusts . paul : hey , dylan . what brings you by ? dylan : sharon and the new evidence we found . paul : right . i know all about it . michael told me . dylan : yeah , i know , but what i do n't know is why you dismissed it . paul , hey , her fingerprints were planted on the murder weapon . somebody else killed austin and courtney , and you 're spinning your wheels on sharon . you need to get to the bottom of this ! paul : and you need to stop doing michael 's job and stop telling me how to do mine ! this case is complicated enough without interference from a bunch of amateurs ! dylan : those amateurs discovered compelling evidence that exonerates sharon ! paul : oh , latex on a tire iron ? you know , there 's got to be a million reasons that could happen . i can not go to chris and ask her to dismiss the case because of a theory ! dylan : yeah , but it 's a good theory . it 's worth looking into . come on , paul . please . two people have already lost their lives . you want an innocent woman to lose hers ? sharon 's whole future is at stake here ! paul : you know , dylan , i am going to ignore the fact that you are implying that i am not looking for justice . and i 'm not going to ask you why this means so much to you and why you 're so invested in sharon . but i will ask you one question . does avery support all this ? dylan : come on . avery 's busy helping joe at rehab right now . paul : yeah . i just think you 're gon na get all mixed up in something that you 're gon na regret later . dylan : regret ? paul : yes . dylan : regret helping a friend who 's taking a fall for a murder she did n't commit ! why kind of person would i be if i turned my back on her ? kevin : michael 's not answering . summer : guess we just have to wait . noah : no , we ca n't wait . my mom 's face has been all over the news for days now . she 's a mess . do you know what it 's doing to my sister faith ? look , with all due respect to your brother , he was n't able to get through to paul about the fingerprints , so what makes you think he 's gon na make some headway now ? kevin : because we finally have hard proof that somebody 's setting sharon up . kyle : yeah , and if that someone gets wind of it , our parents will be planning our funerals . the sooner we contact the police , the better , kevin . summer : i was so relieved when they arrested sharon . i thought everything was over . but now we know that someone else killed austin and courtney . the question is who . anita : gabriel bingham . that 's who you should be setting your sights on . and what a sight he is . chelsea : mom . anita : what ? obviously you agree with me . you shacked up with mr. hunka hunka burnin ' love . that chiseled face -- looks like a greek god . and those abs -- ooh ! chelsea : how do you know what his abs look like ? anita : a woman can dream , ca n't she ? chelsea : okay , well , if you like him so much , you can chase after him . anita : i would , but he 's hot for you , so why do n't you hop to it and reel him in and claim your prize ? chelsea : what prize ? anita : gabriel bingham 's from a very socially prominent family , and i 'm sure he could find a few million hiding between the sofa cushions , if you know what i mean . chelsea : no , nothing is ever gon na happen between gabe and me . nothing ever should have happened in the first place . sleeping with him was the biggest mistake of my life . anita : [ sighs ] victor : speak of the devil . adam : devil ? i take that as a compliment coming from you . mind telling me why you 're , uh , why you 're priming my old boarding school pal here for information about me ? nick : i 'd like to know that myself . victor : we 're talking about the merger of newman and jabot , about the fact that i inherited a whole new staff of people i do n't know . adam : hmm . victor : i usually like to vet my employees before i hire them . adam : that makes sense . trying to get background information on me . victor : that 's right . adam : that 's good . except the thing is you already know my background , right , unless you 've forgotten about your business association with the late harrison bingham . did you tell him about that ? nick : what association ? victor : that 's another discussion , okay ? adam : hmm . victor : the only association i 'm interested in is the one that you and i are about to enter into . adam : you want to know what you 're in for , right ? victor : yeah . adam : i see . nick : there something funny ? adam : quite funny , actually , that your father here , the great victor newman , be intimidated by me . cracks me up . victor : [ laughs ] sonny boy ... adam : hmm ? victor : you do n't know what you 're getting into , do you ? adam : mnh . victor : that 's right . i 've surmised that you have an enormous ego . if i were you , i 'd check that ego a little bit , okay ? adam : i 'm not afraid of you , victor . victor : i love guys like you . cocky , full of themselves . that 's just what i like . adam : good . victor : i have a meeting to go to , son . so you and i will talk about the stuff we were talking about , okay , another time . adam : after you . victor : watch it . adam : got to love that guy , right ? nick : what is the matter with you ? you think you can intimidate my dad ? dude , you have no idea what you 're up against . adam : oh , i think i do . i think i do more than you know . nick : and what makes you think you have so much insight in my dad ? adam : well , his business dealings are stuff of legend . also i took the liberty of digging a little deeper , doing a little -- a little fact - finding on the guy . i think anybody that was about ready to work for victor newman would do just that , right ? nick : maybe . adam : okay . and then , uh , you know , there 's the tiny , little matter of his business dealings with [ sighs ] harrison bingham , so i feel like , you know , all that gives me a pretty good idea of what he 's capable of . nick : congratulations , binger . looks like you got everything figured out . but then again , you 've always had everything figured out , right ? adam : no , no , no , no . not everything . i would n't say that i have everything figured out . i 'm not always right . although i was right about you dumping sage on her ass , right ? she told me about that . now that you think about it , i was n't such a bad husband after all , was i , if we 're still close enough that she confides in me . nick : the only reason she does that is 'cause she does n't have anyone else to talk to . she 's been under your thumb for so many years . she does n't have a life of her own . adam : that was her choice . it 's not my fault that she 's a loyal person . nick : you did n't deserve that loyalty . you kept her trapped in a loveless marriage , and the whole time , you were chasing after chelsea , dogging her till finally you ruined her wedding . adam : is that what you heard ? that i ruined her wedding ? i had nothing to do with it . billy abbott took care of that all on his own . billy : oh , go figure . a relationship that started out with her drugging me so that she could have sex with me while i 'm unconscious did n't end well . hmm . victoria : well , you know , you could n't have gotten her back any better if you paraded her around town and pinned a scarlet `` a `` to her . billy : i know this is probably hard to believe , but it really was n't about retaliation . i just wanted her to see how many people she hurt when she cheated on me with gabe , because it was n't just about me . i mean , my whole family . you , too . victoria : is that why you invited me to the wedding ? billy : yeah . 'cause you always went out of your way to make her feel comfortable . and you invited her to katie 's christening , and then she turns around and she thumbs her nose at it ? oh , whatever . i just ... lesson learned . moving on , i guess . victoria : i hate to tell you , but it 's not gon na be that easy . billy : yeah . victoria : yeah . billy : listen , um ... i know that you know what it feels like , but i was luckier than you . chelsea and i were n't married . we did n't have kids together . although i am gon na miss connor . he started calling me daddy . victoria : that 's cute . billy : yeah . victoria : but , you know , you have two little kids at home that adore you , and they would love it if you came by and hung out with them . billy : i 'm not so sure that your roommate would like that . victoria : my roommate ? billy : stitch ? unless you 've got somebody else living there that i need to be aware of . victoria : you know what ? the important thing is , is that you do n't let yourself get bitter like i was and just learn to accept change . there 's a lot of it going around these days . stitch : all right , there 's no need to threaten my job . i already told you i 'll stick to the rules . ashley : you just broke them . abby : come on , mom . it 's not like he was ripping my clothes off . he was trying to make me feel better . ashley : yeah , i saw that . abby : about the murder case . there 's been some developments . ashley : nothing that puts you in danger again , i hope . abby : no , i 'm -- i 'm safe . ashley : well , that 's good . i have to ask the two of you , what are you doing ? do you realize what you 're getting yourselves into ? because once this fling ends , things are just gon na get messier with victoria . abby : fling ? maybe that 's what you want to believe is going on between me and ben , but what we have is the real thing . paul : we have evidence that proves that sharon was at summer and austin 's building the night he was killed . dylan : even if she was , that does n't mean she killed the guy . paul : you know ... i know you think sharon is innocent . but chris is convinced she can win this case . so if you really consider yourself a good friend , what you should do is prepare sharon for what 's coming . she could spend the rest of her life in jail . she needs to do whatever she can to make it easy on herself and the rest of her family . dylan : are you saying to tell her to confess to two crimes she did n't commit ? [ cell phone rings ] dylan : [ sighs ] yeah . what 's up ? noah : hey , kevin and i are headed over to crimson lights right now . we need your help with something important . dylan : i 'll be there as soon as i can . paul : all right , you obviously have somewhere to go . think about what i said . dylan : thanks . but i have a better way of being a good friend to sharon . noah : all right , we 'll call you later , let you know what 's up . summer : okay , just try not to attract too much attention . kevin : me ? attract attention ? [ door closes ] kyle : so , are you gon na be all right on your own ? i have to go play a round of golf with my dad . summer : i 'm just a little confused . is n't the point for the abbotts to have a strong presence at the office now that you guys have merged with newman ? how are you gon na do that when you 're at the golf course ? kyle : look , if my dad wants to play a round of golf , who am i to argue ? summer : i do n't know . i just think that you should try to get through to him . kyle : look , he 's not gon na get any more flak from me , okay ? he 's getting enough of that from the rest of the family . they 're even trying to vote him out of the company . summer : would that be so bad ? i mean , he does n't seem that interested anyways . kyle : how can you say that ? summer : how can you deny it , kyle ? kyle : [ scoffs ] god , summer , you know , i ca n't seem to say anything right or do anything right with you anymore . what 's the problem ? are you pissed because i 'm not working hard enough or because i 'm not paying you enough attention ? summer : i do n't -- i do n't know -- kyle : you know , i 'm beginning to understand what went wrong with your marriage . ashley : well , now that we 've established what the parameters of your relationship are , maybe we should just get back to work . abby : sure , yeah , yeah . let 's -- let 's work . ashley : i have every intention of talking to jack about this ridiculous idea of victoria 's to shelf hex , okay ? so we 're just gon na keep fine - tuning it , maybe come up with a new marketing strategy . that is , if you can keep your hands from groping each other for a few hours , please . abby : [ sighs ] stitch : well , i guess we better get to it , huh ? let 's see . abby : you know , um , first i just , um , i want to apologize , saying that , uh , what you and i have is the real thing . i mean , that 's something that we should have discussed in private before i opened my big but perfectly shaped mouth . [ chuckles ] stitch : hey , no worries . [ chuckles ] victoria : morning . it 's nice to see everyone so hard at work . what 's the status of things ? is there a problem ? stitch : uh , it was , um , it was personal . sorry . victoria : i thought we agreed to keep it to a minimum . why do n't we stick to that , all right ? ashley : i 'm trying to warn you . things are just gon na get worse with victoria . now , what did you say to abby ? victor : thank you kindly for joining me . i mean , it 's very nice of you considering your recent difficulties . chelsea : you might as well just say it . i 'm a tramp , and everyone found out about it at my wedding . victor : well , you 're not . i 'm sorry this happened . you and my grandson are better off without him , i assure you . chelsea : connor adored him , and vice versa . victor : having said that , have you had a chance to think about my offer ? chelsea : yes . and i 've decided to accept . victor : that 's wonderful . chelsea : with the caveat that i will still have full creative control of my line just like i did at jabot . i do n't need people who know nothing about designing telling me how to do my job . victor : now , if by `` people `` you mean victoria , then i can assure you that the two of you will forge a very positive working relationship , you know ? you may also work alongside gabriel bingham . does that bother you considering your ... recent history ? chelsea : there 's no history . it was an indiscretion , a regretful indiscretion . victor : regretful because of the consequences or because of his character ? chelsea : i mean , i - i do n't -- i do n't really know him that well . victor : he went into a burning building to save your son . chelsea : i mean , any decent human being would have done that . victor : but he risked his life saving someone he did n't really know . chelsea : gabe has really been putting himself out for connor since the beginning . they 've -- they 've bonded from the start . but it 's -- it 's connor , you know ? he 's an easy kid to love . victor : but , of course , no one loved him like his real father loved him . chelsea : and no one ever will . billy : [ sniffs ] anita : so , humiliating my daughter was n't enough ? you have to rob her , too ? billy : these are my things , anita . i was just coming back to collect them . well , hey . hey , buddy . how you doing ? anita : oh , no . you do n't get to make nice after what you did today , after all those awful things he said about your mommy , huh , connor ? no , when he 's no better . you know what they say about sinners who live in glass houses . billy : invest in thicker curtains ? anita : you know , billy , i really am sorry that it did n't work out with you and chelsea . but you never really stood a chance . her heart still belongs to adam . billy : no accounting for taste . anita : well , i guess i 'll leave you to it . billy : anita , um ... do you mind if i say goodbye ? anita : i guess it ca n't hurt , can it , honey ? billy : hey , buddy . anita : here we go . here we go . billy : i missed you . anita : i 'm gon na be upstairs if you need me . billy : we 'll have some of these , too . anita : yeah . there you go . billy : [ sniffs ] so , uh , i wanted to talk to you for a minute if i could , 'cause , um ... i 'm not gon na be living here anymore . that 's the way the world works sometimes , you know ? things change , and , uh ... [ sighs ] listen , we do n't have to forget , do we ? you , um ... you will always have a really special place in my life , 'cause every time i would look into your eyes ... i see my ... my beautiful little girl . and you saw me through some really tough times . yeah . [ sniffles ] so , um ... some years may pass , and your memories of me may start to fade , but ... i 'm never gon na forget you . okay , you will always be right here . forever . and it was an honor to be your daddy . [ sniffles ] yeah . adam : the , uh , train wreck that was chelsea 's wedding , that was on billy , not me . nick : the way i heard it , he 's not the one who did the cheating . adam : mm - hmm . why do you suppose she stepped out on him ? why do you think that happened ? 'cause he never made her happy . not completely . it 's hard to do that when you got one foot out the door , and that 's what he was -- one foot out the door waiting for victoria , right , just hoping that she 'd become available . that 's -- what is that ? chelsea deserves somebody who loves her absolutely . nick : and the way you love someone , you control them , stalk them ? you 're just a selfish bastard . you do n't care who you destroy in life as long as you get what you want . and , you know , the next time my dad asks me about you , that 's exactly what i 'm gon na tell him . kevin : that 's why we 've come to you . you may be the one person who can convince paul to drop the case . dylan : good luck with that . he just threw me out of his office . noah : as soon as you show him the doctored video , he 's gon na have to take you seriously . kevin : all you have to do is get him to call a cyber forensic expert to prove that the footage was messed with . dylan : oh , that 's -- that 's it ? kevin : it 's not as complicated as it sounds . you just call in someone to look at the hard drive . dylan : what ? kevin : ed . he 's the expert . he can trace the origin of the file , find out when and how it was altered , and for him , it 'd be child 's play . dylan : for ed ? kevin : yes . dylan : well , why do n't you -- why do n't you do it ? kevin : i could . it 'd be child 's play for me , too . the thing is , ed is the expert . he has credentials . he can get on the witness stand and testify . i 've been on the witness stand a couple times . it never goes very well . dylan : kevin , why do n't you talk to paul about this ? kevin : he and i are n't exactly on the best of terms right now . i do n't think he was happy that i tried to thwart a murder investigation . dylan : yeah , he is sensitive about stuff like that . noah : that does n't even matter , okay ? dylan , you have the strongest connection with paul . dylan : and that 's what i 'm trying to avoid , okay ? i do n't want to abuse my relationship with paul . he 's getting pretty tired of me coming to the office saying , `` hey , we found a new lead . `` noah : but it 's not like we 're asking you to do something skeevy here , like get out of a parking ticket , or even bend the rules . we just want him to see the truth . now , my mom was n't at summer and austin 's apartment that night , so he did n't kill anybody . you think that 's the truth , do n't you ? dylan : yeah , of course i do . and the facts will come out . noah : you said that you would do anything to help my mom . dylan : yes , i did , and i meant it . we just may need to be patient . noah : every day that she 's under house arrest is another day that the press can spin a lie about her . it 's another day that she has to explain to faith that she ca n't pick her up from school . now , that is not gon na be good for her condition , which you know can be a little delicate . so please , dylan , you want to help my mom ? make paul see the truth . summer : that 's what you think of me ? that i am such a needy , little girl that i drove austin to find a bed buddy in abby ? kyle : no , summer , i - i ... i did n't mean to say that , okay ? i 'm -- i 'm sorry . i do n't know what you want from me . summer : and i do n't know what you want from me , either . you keep telling me that you 're gon na protect me from whoever killed austin and courtney , but then -- then you turn around and you try to impress me with dinners or -- or gifts , and then you go to leave me to play golf ! okay , honestly , i do n't even think i want a damn thing from you , but you keep promising me all these things , and that is the worst thing that you can do , kyle , 'cause it 's gon na make me think that everything is gon na be okay . [ knock on door ] abby : [ voice breaking ] hi . i , um , i hope this is n't a bad time . [ sniffles ] summer : w - what 's wrong ? why are you crying ? abby : because you 're right . i am a horrible person . i fall into bed with all of the wrong people . i never think about the consequences . and this time , i actually thought there was something between stitch and me , something real . i mean , i have never felt this way about anyone before . summer : yeah , i felt that about austin . you know what happened with that . abby : [ sighs ] kyle : what ? you and stitch broke up ? abby : i do n't even know how to answer that 'cause i do n't even know if we were together in the first place . kyle : there 's a lot of that going around . summer : okay , no , that 's it . if you 're gon na play golf and you 're gon na sit here and feel sorry for yourself , then i 'm gon na catch up with kevin and noah , because unlike you two , i actually care about finding who killed my husband and my best friend . [ door closes ] stitch : abby caught me off guard with her declaration . and then when she gave me an opening to tell her how i feel -- ashley : you did n't take it . stitch : look , you 're the one who almost fired me for getting too personal in the workplace . i was trying to keep things professional . ashley : so , what the hell are you doing ? this is my daughter , and i do n't want to see her hurt . stitch : that 's what i 've been doing for weeks now -- trying to keep abby from getting hurt . ashley : you do n't get this , right , because you are not doing a very good job of it . victor : hello . ashley : hello . victor : is victoria in her office ? ashley : she 's in her office . yes , in her office . victor : okay . so sorry to interrupt you . victoria : oh , no , that 's all right . victor : some good news to you . chelsea has agreed to design for newman - abbott after all . victoria : really ? victor : yes . victoria : even knowing that i 'll be overseeing everything ? chelsea : your father assured me i 'll have creative control on all final decisions . victor : i am sure the two of you can forge a very good working relationship , all right ? victoria : all right . if you think this is for the best . victor : okay . i 'll leave you to it . chelsea : i 've brought some sketches for you if you 'd like to look them over . victoria : why bother if we 're just gon na do it your way ? i hope these are a little more stylish than your last line . i know there 's a lot of girls in the office that like that cutesy look , but i would never wear it . chelsea : i 'm sorry . i did n't realize i was designing clothes for you . victoria : you could n't even if you tried . i like my clothes with a little class . chelsea : your father promised me i would be treated with respect . victoria : respect ? like the respect that you showed billy when you had sex with your next - door neighbor ? adam : hello ? billy : moving in now ? adam : the door was open . billy : i guess anita left it that way when she took off with connor . adam : took off with connor ? where 'd they go ? billy : they went to the park , gabe . kids like to go to the park . maybe that 's something you 'll learn when you have kids of your own instead of latching on to somebody else 's . adam : right . so he 's okay ? billy : no , gabe , he 's not okay . his mother 's supposed to be married . we 're supposed to be living here happily , but you screwed that up . and now that little boy 's world has been blown apart . and he does n't have a father -- again . adam : damn it , man . you actually think that you were that little boy 's father ? hmm ? you were the one that latched on . you were a substitute , billy , like a babysitter . you changed his diapers and you give him toys . big deal . tomorrow he 's gon na be smiling again . six weeks from now , you 'll be some -- some distant memory , a faceless blob that occupied space in his mother 's bed , space that rightfully belonged to his real father , by the way . billy : you shut the hell up about connor 's real father . that kid is damn lucky he 'll never know that guy . and as for you , stay the hell away from that boy , 'cause the last thing he needs is to have his mother parading her latest conquest in front of his face , although i have no doubt that chelsea will do just that . adam : you are a real son of a bitch . you know that ? billy : [ chuckles ] adam : you 're gon na judge her like that ? do you have any idea why she came running to me , billy ? you ever think about that ? she caught you with your tongue down your ex - wife 's throat ! that 's why ! victoria : how could you do this to billy ? he helped you after adam died . he 's been raising connor as his own , and this is how you repay him ? by cheating on him ? chelsea : look who 's talking . the woman who had her lips all over billy . yeah , i saw you . so do n't go preaching to me about being a good person when you 're the one who 's been trying to seduce my fiancé . victoria : it was one kiss . chelsea : oh , like hell it was , victoria ! victoria : and billy pulled away because of his commitment to you ! chelsea : commitment ? ! billy was never fully committed to me because he was too busy waiting for his opening with you , and boy , did you give it to him . victoria : just shows me how dirty your mind is . you know , billy was connor 's one shot at a decent life . chelsea : do not mention my son 's name ! do n't ! do n't ever mention his name ! ashley : knock it off ! what is going on in here ? chelsea : why do n't you ask the bitch that stole your office ? i 'm done here . victoria : oh , are you quitting ? chelsea : victoria , i would n't give you the satisfaction . you are stuck with me , and i 'm gon na make your life a living hell . victoria : [ sighs ] kyle : so , stitch did n't say anything ? abby : and we all know what that means . `` bye - bye , abby . have a nice life . `` kyle : yeah . i 'm getting the same vibe from summer right now . it 's definitely not how it used to be . abby : before you thought you were brother and sister ? kyle : yes , actually . you know , it was just more fun before that . it was so relaxed and laid back and , you know , we had a good time together . abby : she was practically a kid back then . she followed you around . she worshipped you . kyle : yeah . why ca n't it be like that again ? abby : because summer 's grown up a lot . she 's had to . she 's been through a lot the past couple of years , made some difficult decisions , and she 's been hurt . kyle : by people very close to her . abby : true . um ... but what i 'm saying is -- is that if you want a relationship with summer , then it 's gon na take more than expensive gifts and fancy nights out on the town . you 've got to get real . kyle : you really think i can do that ? abby : [ chuckles ] honestly , kyle , i do n't know . but you should try . she needs you right now . she 's a mess , which is totally understandable after watching your murdered husband tumble out of an armoire . i am just so happy the police have taken that out of our hands , especially since courtney was killed because she found out something that the murderer did n't want anyone to know . kevin : hey . where 's kyle ? summer : you would n't believe me if i told you . kevin : volunteering at a soup kitchen ? playing bingo at a nursing home ? summer : no , he is at my apartment with abby . kevin : what 's unbelievable about that ? hanging out with abby would be third on my list after gazing at himself in a mirror and golfing . noah : [ chuckles ] what are they doing ? summer : it 's what they 're not doing that 's bothering me . i mean , should n't we be trying to find this killer now that we know it 's not sharon ? they 're acting like it 's not even important , and it should be the most important thing in all of our lives right now . i 'm really starting to question kyle 's priorities . noah : well , maybe he 's not the guy that you thought he was . maybe it 's time to reevaluate the relationship with kyle abbott . nick : hey . summer : hi . nick : i got your text . what 's so urgent ? noah : we got proof that mom is innocent . dylan : hey . paul : now what ? dylan : well , since i saw you , there 's been a development in the case . paul : a development ? you have n't been gone five minutes . dylan : kevin . kevin got onto something -- paul : kevin ? ! what do i have to do to get all of you to stay out of this ? ! dylan : just check your computer . there 's surveillance video outside austin 's apartment the night he was killed . it 'll tell you everything that you need to know . paul : i ca n't . it 's impossible . dylan : that timestamp ca n't be right . somebody 's duping us , paul . paul : i am trying to tell you i ca n't look at the footage because our computer system has been compromised . and austin 's computer has been stolen , the same one that sharon tried to rip off . dylan : how -- how does that even happen in a police station ? paul : a very good question . if i knew the answer to that , i 'd probably be certain of the killer , too , would n't i ? why are you so sure that sharon is innocent ? dylan : come on , paul ! sharon did n't do this ! why would anyone bother to try to steal evidence if you already have the killer ? why ? because there 's something on that computer that will free sharon and incriminate somebody else ! you owe it to sharon , you owe it to me , and you owe it to the victims to find it ! nick : look , i hear what you 're saying , but i think you may be getting carried away . noah : are you that angry with mom that you 're just willing to throw logic out the window , dad ? what we 're telling you makes sense . [ cell phone rings ] noah : it 's dylan . dylan , hey . yeah , i 'm here with , uh , summer and my dad and kevin right now . hold on , i 'll put you on speaker , okay ? all right , what 's happening ? did you talk to paul ? dylan : yeah , i brought him up to speed about everything . noah : so he 's on board ? dylan : to a point . he was n't exactly able to look at the evidence because the gcpd computer got compromised and austin 's laptop is missing . noah : are you -- kevin : missing ? dylan : i know that it 's a blow to the case , but at least paul 's willing to -- to consider that there 's another suspect out there . look , i got -- i got to go . i 'll be in touch . summer : oh , my god . the killer did this . they took that evidence . kevin : somebody realizes we 're on to him , that we know he 's framing sharon . noah : dad , come on . you have to admit some of this makes sense . stitch : hey , mind if i come in ? i was hoping to talk to abby . kyle : oh , it 's a little late for that , do n't you think ? stitch : let me ask you something . you actually think about what you 're gon na say before you open your mouth or you just go with the first stupid thing that pops through that stupid brain of yours ? abby : it 's okay , kyle . what do you want ? [ door closes ] stitch : some privacy . kyle : take care of yourself . stitch : hey , look , um , back in the lab , i did n't -- i did n't handle that in the best manner . abby : i got the message . you do n't think there 's a chance for us . stitch : but i do . i think you and i could have something really , really good . victoria : if this keeps up , i guess we can start selling tickets . ashley : [ sighs ] chelsea deserved it . what she did , i mean , she betrayed my brother , and if you had n't told her off , i would have . well done , by the way . victoria : it 's probably the nicest thing you 've said to me in awhile . ashley : yeah , well , we 've been having some problems . but you were always a very good match for billy , and i 'm sorry things did n't work out for you two . billy : you know what , man ? i 'm sick of it . i do n't want to hear another word out of you . adam : what are you gon na do ? you gon na hit me again ? huh ? do it . hit me again . it 'll give me a reason to have your ass thrown in jail where you belong . chelsea : wait . you -- you hit him ? what were you thinking ? billy : i do n't know . take a guess . this guy has had an agenda from the beginning . i mean , that was no surprise . but you ? you really fooled me . i honestly thought that you had changed , but you 're the same piece of trash you always have been . adam : do n't talk to her like that , man . billy : those words that you said to me , how you trusted me , how you loved me , if you really trusted me , you 'd have known that nothing happened between me and victoria . and if you loved me , you never would have thrown yourself at this son of a -- chelsea : billy -- billy : did it make you feel better ? did it ? i know everything i need to know about this relationship . i was another mark in a long con for you . adam : sorry . chelsea : everything he said about me is true . [ next_on ] victor : you arrogant jackass . you do not undo what i have worked so hard to build up . kyle : where do you get off talking to my dad like that ? kelly : [ groans ] | at the athletic club , victor and nick discuss jack and victor going into partnership with him . nick tells victor about his new club opening up that very night . gabriel walks in and watches them . victor asks nick about gabriel . victoria joins billy at the coffeehouse where she finds out about the failed wedding . anita visits chelsea and tells her that she ought to pursue gabriel . at the lab , abby and ben discuss the evidence against sharon . ben comforts abby when ashley walks in and tells him that he is breaking company policy and should look for another job . at home , summer , noah , kevin , and kyle discuss the new evidence they 've found to help sharon . dylan urges paul to investigate this matter further about the tire iron , but paul refuses . paul reprimands dylan for his interference . dylan pleads sharon 's case . kevin tries to call michael but with no luck . kevin tells the others that sharon is innocent and is being framed . gabriel joins nick and victor . victor and gabriel have a heated conversation about why victor is checking up on him . after victor leaves , nick warns gabriel as to who he is dealing with . abby tells ashley that what is between her and ben is the real thing . ben refuses to comment , which leads abby to believe that he does n't want a committed relationship . paul tells dylan to prepare sharon for the worst , because she may be going to prison for a long time . dylan receives a call from noah to meet him and kevin at the coffeehouse . kyle warns summer that she has driven her husband into the arms of another woman . kyle and summer argue as usual . | <s>[INST] victor : you know , jack and i just decided to put down our arms . and now with victoria on board , the outlook for the company has never been better . nick : oh , i can feel it coming . there is where you pitch me on coming back to work for you at newman enterprises , and this is where i tell you that my club is reopening tonight and the underground is the only place i want to be . victor : all right . do n't think there has n't been many a time when i wish my only son were with me at the helm of my company . but that is not what i came here to discuss . i wanted to talk about something else . nick : well , i did n't know there was anything else for you except newman . victor : what do you know about gabriel bingham ? victoria : if it is n't the man who broke the internet yesterday . billy : i guess you heard i tanked my wedding , huh ? victoria : i think pretty much the whole world heard . billy : [ chuckles ] victoria : [ sighs ] i would say bravo for calling chelsea out , but i know congratulations are n't in order right now . i know it was awful . billy : yeah , well , it needed to happen . chelsea and i , we were a mistake from the beginning . and getting her out of my life was the best thing that could have happened to me . chelsea : thanks for coming to watch connor on such short notice . i have to get to my meeting , and he has n't started daycare yet . speaking of my meeting , i 'm running late , so if you want to get started on the lecture , start now . anita : lecture ? chelsea : i know you 've probably been rehearsing your little speech about what a wreck i 've made of my life because i cheated on billy and now i wo n't be marrying an abbott . anita : all i care about is my baby 's feelings . and your future prospects . chelsea : what future prospects ? billy hates me . my relationship is over . anita : who said anything about billy ? stitch : okay , so that picture of sharon breaking into austin 's apartment ... abby : it could have been doctored . there were traces of latex found in sharon 's fingerprints on the tire iron , which means they could have been transferred . stitch : in other words , sharon could be as innocent as she says she is . abby : noah is relieved . stitch : yeah , well , i wish i was . because if sharon did n't kill austin or courtney , somebody else did . and if he or she finds out we have n't stopped investigating , then we 're still targets . abby : no one knows that better than me . stitch : nothing is gon na happen to you . i told you . i 'm not gon na let you get hurt again , okay ? ashley : okay . i mean , that 's it . if my daughter 's charms are just too potent that you ca n't act like a professional , maybe you should look for a job someplace else . kyle : thanks . bye . so , guy at the deli just confirmed they closed at 6 : 00 . summer : you were right , kevin . i mean , the lights would not be on at 9 : 00 , and that 's what the timestamp says . kevin : it was definitely forged . noah : so my mom was framed . kevin : it sure looks that way . noah : so , what are we doing ? let 's go see paul . kevin : he thinks he 's already id 'd the killer . he 's not gon na listen to us . noah : well , we need to make him listen , kevin . kevin : when has that ever worked ? the information needs to come from someone he trusts . paul : hey , dylan . what brings you by ? dylan : sharon and the new evidence we found . paul : right . i know all about it . michael told me . dylan : yeah , i know , but what i do n't know is why you dismissed it . paul , hey , her fingerprints were planted on the murder weapon . somebody else killed austin and courtney , and you 're spinning your wheels on sharon . you need to get to the bottom of this ! paul : and you need to stop doing michael 's job and stop telling me how to do mine ! this case is complicated enough without interference from a bunch of amateurs ! dylan : those amateurs discovered compelling evidence that exonerates sharon ! paul : oh , latex on a tire iron ? you know , there 's got to be a million reasons that could happen . i can not go to chris and ask her to dismiss the case because of a theory ! dylan : yeah , but it 's a good theory . it 's worth looking into . come on , paul . please . two people have already lost their lives . you want an innocent woman to lose hers ? sharon 's whole future is at stake here ! paul : you know , dylan , i am going to ignore the fact that you are implying that i am not looking for justice . and i 'm not going to ask you why this means so much to you and why you 're so invested in sharon . but i will ask you one question . does avery support all this ? dylan : come on . avery 's busy helping joe at rehab right now . paul : yeah . i just think you 're gon na get all mixed up in something that you 're gon na regret later . dylan : regret ? paul : yes . dylan : regret helping a friend who 's taking a fall for a murder she did n't commit ! why kind of person would i be if i turned my back on her ? kevin : michael 's not answering . summer : guess we just have to wait . noah : no , we ca n't wait . my mom 's face has been all over the news for days now . she 's a mess . do you know what it 's doing to my sister faith ? look , with all due respect to your brother , he was n't able to get through to paul about the fingerprints , so what makes you think he 's gon na make some headway now ? kevin : because we finally have hard proof that somebody 's setting sharon up . kyle : yeah , and if that someone gets wind of it , our parents will be planning our funerals . the sooner we contact the police , the better , kevin . summer : i was so relieved when they arrested sharon . i thought everything was over . but now we know that someone else killed austin and courtney . the question is who . anita : gabriel bingham . that 's who you should be setting your sights on . and what a sight he is . chelsea : mom . anita : what ? obviously you agree with me . you shacked up with mr. hunka hunka burnin ' love . that chiseled face -- looks like a greek god . and those abs -- ooh ! chelsea : how do you know what his abs look like ? anita : a woman can dream , ca n't she ? chelsea : okay , well , if you like him so much , you can chase after him . anita : i would , but he 's hot for you , so why do n't you hop to it and reel him in and claim your prize ? chelsea : what prize ? anita : gabriel bingham 's from a very socially prominent family , and i 'm sure he could find a few million hiding between the sofa cushions , if you know what i mean . chelsea : no , nothing is ever gon na happen between gabe and me . nothing ever should have happened in the first place . sleeping with him was the biggest mistake of my life . anita : [ sighs ] victor : speak of the devil . adam : devil ? i take that as a compliment coming from you . mind telling me why you 're , uh , why you 're priming my old boarding school pal here for information about me ? nick : i 'd like to know that myself . victor : we 're talking about the merger of newman and jabot , about the fact that i inherited a whole new staff of people i do n't know . adam : hmm . victor : i usually like to vet my employees before i hire them . adam : that makes sense . trying to get background information on me . victor : that 's right . adam : that 's good . except the thing is you already know my background , right , unless you 've forgotten about your business association with the late harrison bingham . did you tell him about that ? nick : what association ? victor : that 's another discussion , okay ? adam : hmm . victor : the only association i 'm interested in is the one that you and i are about to enter into . adam : you want to know what you 're in for , right ? victor : yeah . adam : i see . nick : there something funny ? adam : quite funny , actually , that your father here , the great victor newman , be intimidated by me . cracks me up . victor : [ laughs ] sonny boy ... adam : hmm ? victor : you do n't know what you 're getting into , do you ? adam : mnh . victor : that 's right . i 've surmised that you have an enormous ego . if i were you , i 'd check that ego a little bit , okay ? adam : i 'm not afraid of you , victor . victor : i love guys like you . cocky , full of themselves . that 's just what i like . adam : good . victor : i have a meeting to go to , son . so you and i will talk about the stuff we were talking about , okay , another time . adam : after you . victor : watch it . adam : got to love that guy , right ? nick : what is the matter with you ? you think you can intimidate my dad ? dude , you have no idea what you 're up against . adam : oh , i think i do . i think i do more than you know . nick : and what makes you think you have so much insight in my dad ? adam : well , his business dealings are stuff of legend . also i took the liberty of digging a little deeper , doing a little -- a little fact - finding on the guy . i think anybody that was about ready to work for victor newman would do just that , right ? nick : maybe . adam : okay . and then , uh , you know , there 's the tiny , little matter of his business dealings with [ sighs ] harrison bingham , so i feel like , you know , all that gives me a pretty good idea of what he 's capable of . nick : congratulations , binger . looks like you got everything figured out . but then again , you 've always had everything figured out , right ? adam : no , no , no , no . not everything . i would n't say that i have everything figured out . i 'm not always right . although i was right about you dumping sage on her ass , right ? she told me about that . now that you think about it , i was n't such a bad husband after all , was i , if we 're still close enough that she confides in me . nick : the only reason she does that is 'cause she does n't have anyone else to talk to . she 's been under your thumb for so many years . she does n't have a life of her own . adam : that was her choice . it 's not my fault that she 's a loyal person . nick : you did n't deserve that loyalty . you kept her trapped in a loveless marriage , and the whole time , you were chasing after chelsea , dogging her till finally you ruined her wedding . adam : is that what you heard ? that i ruined her wedding ? i had nothing to do with it . billy abbott took care of that all on his own . billy : oh , go figure . a relationship that started out with her drugging me so that she could have sex with me while i 'm unconscious did n't end well . hmm . victoria : well , you know , you could n't have gotten her back any better if you paraded her around town and pinned a scarlet `` a `` to her . billy : i know this is probably hard to believe , but it really was n't about retaliation . i just wanted her to see how many people she hurt when she cheated on me with gabe , because it was n't just about me . i mean , my whole family . you , too . victoria : is that why you invited me to the wedding ? billy : yeah . 'cause you always went out of your way to make her feel comfortable . and you invited her to katie 's christening , and then she turns around and she thumbs her nose at it ? oh , whatever . i just ... lesson learned . moving on , i guess . victoria : i hate to tell you , but it 's not gon na be that easy . billy : yeah . victoria : yeah . billy : listen , um ... i know that you know what it feels like , but i was luckier than you . chelsea and i were n't married . we did n't have kids together . although i am gon na miss connor . he started calling me daddy . victoria : that 's cute . billy : yeah . victoria : but , you know , you have two little kids at home that adore you , and they would love it if you came by and hung out with them . billy : i 'm not so sure that your roommate would like that . victoria : my roommate ? billy : stitch ? unless you 've got somebody else living there that i need to be aware of . victoria : you know what ? the important thing is , is that you do n't let yourself get bitter like i was and just learn to accept change . there 's a lot of it going around these days . stitch : all right , there 's no need to threaten my job . i already told you i 'll stick to the rules . ashley : you just broke them . abby : come on , mom . it 's not like he was ripping my clothes off . he was trying to make me feel better . ashley : yeah , i saw that . abby : about the murder case . there 's been some developments . ashley : nothing that puts you in danger again , i hope . abby : no , i 'm -- i 'm safe . ashley : well , that 's good . i have to ask the two of you , what are you doing ? do you realize what you 're getting yourselves into ? because once this fling ends , things are just gon na get messier with victoria . abby : fling ? maybe that 's what you want to believe is going on between me and ben , but what we have is the real thing . paul : we have evidence that proves that sharon was at summer and austin 's building the night he was killed . dylan : even if she was , that does n't mean she killed the guy . paul : you know ... i know you think sharon is innocent . but chris is convinced she can win this case . so if you really consider yourself a good friend , what you should do is prepare sharon for what 's coming . she could spend the rest of her life in jail . she needs to do whatever she can to make it easy on herself and the rest of her family . dylan : are you saying to tell her to confess to two crimes she did n't commit ? [ cell phone rings ] dylan : [ sighs ] yeah . what 's up ? noah : hey , kevin and i are headed over to crimson lights right now . we need your help with something important . dylan : i 'll be there as soon as i can . paul : all right , you obviously have somewhere to go . think about what i said . dylan : thanks . but i have a better way of being a good friend to sharon . noah : all right , we 'll call you later , let you know what 's up . summer : okay , just try not to attract too much attention . kevin : me ? attract attention ? [ door closes ] kyle : so , are you gon na be all right on your own ? i have to go play a round of golf with my dad . summer : i 'm just a little confused . is n't the point for the abbotts to have a strong presence at the office now that you guys have merged with newman ? how are you gon na do that when you 're at the golf course ? kyle : look , if my dad wants to play a round of golf , who am i to argue ? summer : i do n't know . i just think that you should try to get through to him . kyle : look , he 's not gon na get any more flak from me , okay ? he 's getting enough of that from the rest of the family . they 're even trying to vote him out of the company . summer : would that be so bad ? i mean , he does n't seem that interested anyways . kyle : how can you say that ? summer : how can you deny it , kyle ? kyle : [ scoffs ] god , summer , you know , i ca n't seem to say anything right or do anything right with you anymore . what 's the problem ? are you pissed because i 'm not working hard enough or because i 'm not paying you enough attention ? summer : i do n't -- i do n't know -- kyle : you know , i 'm beginning to understand what went wrong with your marriage . ashley : well , now that we 've established what the parameters of your relationship are , maybe we should just get back to work . abby : sure , yeah , yeah . let 's -- let 's work . ashley : i have every intention of talking to jack about this ridiculous idea of victoria 's to shelf hex , okay ? so we 're just gon na keep fine - tuning it , maybe come up with a new marketing strategy . that is , if you can keep your hands from groping each other for a few hours , please . abby : [ sighs ] stitch : well , i guess we better get to it , huh ? let 's see . abby : you know , um , first i just , um , i want to apologize , saying that , uh , what you and i have is the real thing . i mean , that 's something that we should have discussed in private before i opened my big but perfectly shaped mouth . [ chuckles ] stitch : hey , no worries . [ chuckles ] victoria : morning . it 's nice to see everyone so hard at work . what 's the status of things ? is there a problem ? stitch : uh , it was , um , it was personal . sorry . victoria : i thought we agreed to keep it to a minimum . why do n't we stick to that , all right ? ashley : i 'm trying to warn you . things are just gon na get worse with victoria . now , what did you say to abby ? victor : thank you kindly for joining me . i mean , it 's very nice of you considering your recent difficulties . chelsea : you might as well just say it . i 'm a tramp , and everyone found out about it at my wedding . victor : well , you 're not . i 'm sorry this happened . you and my grandson are better off without him , i assure you . chelsea : connor adored him , and vice versa . victor : having said that , have you had a chance to think about my offer ? chelsea : yes . and i 've decided to accept . victor : that 's wonderful . chelsea : with the caveat that i will still have full creative control of my line just like i did at jabot . i do n't need people who know nothing about designing telling me how to do my job . victor : now , if by `` people `` you mean victoria , then i can assure you that the two of you will forge a very positive working relationship , you know ? you may also work alongside gabriel bingham . does that bother you considering your ... recent history ? chelsea : there 's no history . it was an indiscretion , a regretful indiscretion . victor : regretful because of the consequences or because of his character ? chelsea : i mean , i - i do n't -- i do n't really know him that well . victor : he went into a burning building to save your son . chelsea : i mean , any decent human being would have done that . victor : but he risked his life saving someone he did n't really know . chelsea : gabe has really been putting himself out for connor since the beginning . they 've -- they 've bonded from the start . but it 's -- it 's connor , you know ? he 's an easy kid to love . victor : but , of course , no one loved him like his real father loved him . chelsea : and no one ever will . billy : [ sniffs ] anita : so , humiliating my daughter was n't enough ? you have to rob her , too ? billy : these are my things , anita . i was just coming back to collect them . well , hey . hey , buddy . how you doing ? anita : oh , no . you do n't get to make nice after what you did today , after all those awful things he said about your mommy , huh , connor ? no , when he 's no better . you know what they say about sinners who live in glass houses . billy : invest in thicker curtains ? anita : you know , billy , i really am sorry that it did n't work out with you and chelsea . but you never really stood a chance . her heart still belongs to adam . billy : no accounting for taste . anita : well , i guess i 'll leave you to it . billy : anita , um ... do you mind if i say goodbye ? anita : i guess it ca n't hurt , can it , honey ? billy : hey , buddy . anita : here we go . here we go . billy : i missed you . anita : i 'm gon na be upstairs if you need me . billy : we 'll have some of these , too . anita : yeah . there you go . billy : [ sniffs ] so , uh , i wanted to talk to you for a minute if i could , 'cause , um ... i 'm not gon na be living here anymore . that 's the way the world works sometimes , you know ? things change , and , uh ... [ sighs ] listen , we do n't have to forget , do we ? you , um ... you will always have a really special place in my life , 'cause every time i would look into your eyes ... i see my ... my beautiful little girl . and you saw me through some really tough times . yeah . [ sniffles ] so , um ... some years may pass , and your memories of me may start to fade , but ... i 'm never gon na forget you . okay , you will always be right here . forever . and it was an honor to be your daddy . [ sniffles ] yeah . adam : the , uh , train wreck that was chelsea 's wedding , that was on billy , not me . nick : the way i heard it , he 's not the one who did the cheating . adam : mm - hmm . why do you suppose she stepped out on him ? why do you think that happened ? 'cause he never made her happy . not completely . it 's hard to do that when you got one foot out the door , and that 's what he was -- one foot out the door waiting for victoria , right , just hoping that she 'd become available . that 's -- what is that ? chelsea deserves somebody who loves her absolutely . nick : and the way you love someone , you control them , stalk them ? you 're just a selfish bastard . you do n't care who you destroy in life as long as you get what you want . and , you know , the next time my dad asks me about you , that 's exactly what i 'm gon na tell him . kevin : that 's why we 've come to you . you may be the one person who can convince paul to drop the case . dylan : good luck with that . he just threw me out of his office . noah : as soon as you show him the doctored video , he 's gon na have to take you seriously . kevin : all you have to do is get him to call a cyber forensic expert to prove that the footage was messed with . dylan : oh , that 's -- that 's it ? kevin : it 's not as complicated as it sounds . you just call in someone to look at the hard drive . dylan : what ? kevin : ed . he 's the expert . he can trace the origin of the file , find out when and how it was altered , and for him , it 'd be child 's play . dylan : for ed ? kevin : yes . dylan : well , why do n't you -- why do n't you do it ? kevin : i could . it 'd be child 's play for me , too . the thing is , ed is the expert . he has credentials . he can get on the witness stand and testify . i 've been on the witness stand a couple times . it never goes very well . dylan : kevin , why do n't you talk to paul about this ? kevin : he and i are n't exactly on the best of terms right now . i do n't think he was happy that i tried to thwart a murder investigation . dylan : yeah , he is sensitive about stuff like that . noah : that does n't even matter , okay ? dylan , you have the strongest connection with paul . dylan : and that 's what i 'm trying to avoid , okay ? i do n't want to abuse my relationship with paul . he 's getting pretty tired of me coming to the office saying , `` hey , we found a new lead . `` noah : but it 's not like we 're asking you to do something skeevy here , like get out of a parking ticket , or even bend the rules . we just want him to see the truth . now , my mom was n't at summer and austin 's apartment that night , so he did n't kill anybody . you think that 's the truth , do n't you ? dylan : yeah , of course i do . and the facts will come out . noah : you said that you would do anything to help my mom . dylan : yes , i did , and i meant it . we just may need to be patient . noah : every day that she 's under house arrest is another day that the press can spin a lie about her . it 's another day that she has to explain to faith that she ca n't pick her up from school . now , that is not gon na be good for her condition , which you know can be a little delicate . so please , dylan , you want to help my mom ? make paul see the truth . summer : that 's what you think of me ? that i am such a needy , little girl that i drove austin to find a bed buddy in abby ? kyle : no , summer , i - i ... i did n't mean to say that , okay ? i 'm -- i 'm sorry . i do n't know what you want from me . summer : and i do n't know what you want from me , either . you keep telling me that you 're gon na protect me from whoever killed austin and courtney , but then -- then you turn around and you try to impress me with dinners or -- or gifts , and then you go to leave me to play golf ! okay , honestly , i do n't even think i want a damn thing from you , but you keep promising me all these things , and that is the worst thing that you can do , kyle , 'cause it 's gon na make me think that everything is gon na be okay . [ knock on door ] abby : [ voice breaking ] hi . i , um , i hope this is n't a bad time . [ sniffles ] summer : w - what 's wrong ? why are you crying ? abby : because you 're right . i am a horrible person . i fall into bed with all of the wrong people . i never think about the consequences . and this time , i actually thought there was something between stitch and me , something real . i mean , i have never felt this way about anyone before . summer : yeah , i felt that about austin . you know what happened with that . abby : [ sighs ] kyle : what ? you and stitch broke up ? abby : i do n't even know how to answer that 'cause i do n't even know if we were together in the first place . kyle : there 's a lot of that going around . summer : okay , no , that 's it . if you 're gon na play golf and you 're gon na sit here and feel sorry for yourself , then i 'm gon na catch up with kevin and noah , because unlike you two , i actually care about finding who killed my husband and my best friend . [ door closes ] stitch : abby caught me off guard with her declaration . and then when she gave me an opening to tell her how i feel -- ashley : you did n't take it . stitch : look , you 're the one who almost fired me for getting too personal in the workplace . i was trying to keep things professional . ashley : so , what the hell are you doing ? this is my daughter , and i do n't want to see her hurt . stitch : that 's what i 've been doing for weeks now -- trying to keep abby from getting hurt . ashley : you do n't get this , right , because you are not doing a very good job of it . victor : hello . ashley : hello . victor : is victoria in her office ? ashley : she 's in her office . yes , in her office . victor : okay . so sorry to interrupt you . victoria : oh , no , that 's all right . victor : some good news to you . chelsea has agreed to design for newman - abbott after all . victoria : really ? victor : yes . victoria : even knowing that i 'll be overseeing everything ? chelsea : your father assured me i 'll have creative control on all final decisions . victor : i am sure the two of you can forge a very good working relationship , all right ? victoria : all right . if you think this is for the best . victor : okay . i 'll leave you to it . chelsea : i 've brought some sketches for you if you 'd like to look them over . victoria : why bother if we 're just gon na do it your way ? i hope these are a little more stylish than your last line . i know there 's a lot of girls in the office that like that cutesy look , but i would never wear it . chelsea : i 'm sorry . i did n't realize i was designing clothes for you . victoria : you could n't even if you tried . i like my clothes with a little class . chelsea : your father promised me i would be treated with respect . victoria : respect ? like the respect that you showed billy when you had sex with your next - door neighbor ? adam : hello ? billy : moving in now ? adam : the door was open . billy : i guess anita left it that way when she took off with connor . adam : took off with connor ? where 'd they go ? billy : they went to the park , gabe . kids like to go to the park . maybe that 's something you 'll learn when you have kids of your own instead of latching on to somebody else 's . adam : right . so he 's okay ? billy : no , gabe , he 's not okay . his mother 's supposed to be married . we 're supposed to be living here happily , but you screwed that up . and now that little boy 's world has been blown apart . and he does n't have a father -- again . adam : damn it , man . you actually think that you were that little boy 's father ? hmm ? you were the one that latched on . you were a substitute , billy , like a babysitter . you changed his diapers and you give him toys . big deal . tomorrow he 's gon na be smiling again . six weeks from now , you 'll be some -- some distant memory , a faceless blob that occupied space in his mother 's bed , space that rightfully belonged to his real father , by the way . billy : you shut the hell up about connor 's real father . that kid is damn lucky he 'll never know that guy . and as for you , stay the hell away from that boy , 'cause the last thing he needs is to have his mother parading her latest conquest in front of his face , although i have no doubt that chelsea will do just that . adam : you are a real son of a bitch . you know that ? billy : [ chuckles ] adam : you 're gon na judge her like that ? do you have any idea why she came running to me , billy ? you ever think about that ? she caught you with your tongue down your ex - wife 's throat ! that 's why ! victoria : how could you do this to billy ? he helped you after adam died . he 's been raising connor as his own , and this is how you repay him ? by cheating on him ? chelsea : look who 's talking . the woman who had her lips all over billy . yeah , i saw you . so do n't go preaching to me about being a good person when you 're the one who 's been trying to seduce my fiancé . victoria : it was one kiss . chelsea : oh , like hell it was , victoria ! victoria : and billy pulled away because of his commitment to you ! chelsea : commitment ? ! billy was never fully committed to me because he was too busy waiting for his opening with you , and boy , did you give it to him . victoria : just shows me how dirty your mind is . you know , billy was connor 's one shot at a decent life . chelsea : do not mention my son 's name ! do n't ! do n't ever mention his name ! ashley : knock it off ! what is going on in here ? chelsea : why do n't you ask the bitch that stole your office ? i 'm done here . victoria : oh , are you quitting ? chelsea : victoria , i would n't give you the satisfaction . you are stuck with me , and i 'm gon na make your life a living hell . victoria : [ sighs ] kyle : so , stitch did n't say anything ? abby : and we all know what that means . `` bye - bye , abby . have a nice life . `` kyle : yeah . i 'm getting the same vibe from summer right now . it 's definitely not how it used to be . abby : before you thought you were brother and sister ? kyle : yes , actually . you know , it was just more fun before that . it was so relaxed and laid back and , you know , we had a good time together . abby : she was practically a kid back then . she followed you around . she worshipped you . kyle : yeah . why ca n't it be like that again ? abby : because summer 's grown up a lot . she 's had to . she 's been through a lot the past couple of years , made some difficult decisions , and she 's been hurt . kyle : by people very close to her . abby : true . um ... but what i 'm saying is -- is that if you want a relationship with summer , then it 's gon na take more than expensive gifts and fancy nights out on the town . you 've got to get real . kyle : you really think i can do that ? abby : [ chuckles ] honestly , kyle , i do n't know . but you should try . she needs you right now . she 's a mess , which is totally understandable after watching your murdered husband tumble out of an armoire . i am just so happy the police have taken that out of our hands , especially since courtney was killed because she found out something that the murderer did n't want anyone to know . kevin : hey . where 's kyle ? summer : you would n't believe me if i told you . kevin : volunteering at a soup kitchen ? playing bingo at a nursing home ? summer : no , he is at my apartment with abby . kevin : what 's unbelievable about that ? hanging out with abby would be third on my list after gazing at himself in a mirror and golfing . noah : [ chuckles ] what are they doing ? summer : it 's what they 're not doing that 's bothering me . i mean , should n't we be trying to find this killer now that we know it 's not sharon ? they 're acting like it 's not even important , and it should be the most important thing in all of our lives right now . i 'm really starting to question kyle 's priorities . noah : well , maybe he 's not the guy that you thought he was . maybe it 's time to reevaluate the relationship with kyle abbott . nick : hey . summer : hi . nick : i got your text . what 's so urgent ? noah : we got proof that mom is innocent . dylan : hey . paul : now what ? dylan : well , since i saw you , there 's been a development in the case . paul : a development ? you have n't been gone five minutes . dylan : kevin . kevin got onto something -- paul : kevin ? ! what do i have to do to get all of you to stay out of this ? ! dylan : just check your computer . there 's surveillance video outside austin 's apartment the night he was killed . it 'll tell you everything that you need to know . paul : i ca n't . it 's impossible . dylan : that timestamp ca n't be right . somebody 's duping us , paul . paul : i am trying to tell you i ca n't look at the footage because our computer system has been compromised . and austin 's computer has been stolen , the same one that sharon tried to rip off . dylan : how -- how does that even happen in a police station ? paul : a very good question . if i knew the answer to that , i 'd probably be certain of the killer , too , would n't i ? why are you so sure that sharon is innocent ? dylan : come on , paul ! sharon did n't do this ! why would anyone bother to try to steal evidence if you already have the killer ? why ? because there 's something on that computer that will free sharon and incriminate somebody else ! you owe it to sharon , you owe it to me , and you owe it to the victims to find it ! nick : look , i hear what you 're saying , but i think you may be getting carried away . noah : are you that angry with mom that you 're just willing to throw logic out the window , dad ? what we 're telling you makes sense . [ cell phone rings ] noah : it 's dylan . dylan , hey . yeah , i 'm here with , uh , summer and my dad and kevin right now . hold on , i 'll put you on speaker , okay ? all right , what 's happening ? did you talk to paul ? dylan : yeah , i brought him up to speed about everything . noah : so he 's on board ? dylan : to a point . he was n't exactly able to look at the evidence because the gcpd computer got compromised and austin 's laptop is missing . noah : are you -- kevin : missing ? dylan : i know that it 's a blow to the case , but at least paul 's willing to -- to consider that there 's another suspect out there . look , i got -- i got to go . i 'll be in touch . summer : oh , my god . the killer did this . they took that evidence . kevin : somebody realizes we 're on to him , that we know he 's framing sharon . noah : dad , come on . you have to admit some of this makes sense . stitch : hey , mind if i come in ? i was hoping to talk to abby . kyle : oh , it 's a little late for that , do n't you think ? stitch : let me ask you something . you actually think about what you 're gon na say before you open your mouth or you just go with the first stupid thing that pops through that stupid brain of yours ? abby : it 's okay , kyle . what do you want ? [ door closes ] stitch : some privacy . kyle : take care of yourself . stitch : hey , look , um , back in the lab , i did n't -- i did n't handle that in the best manner . abby : i got the message . you do n't think there 's a chance for us . stitch : but i do . i think you and i could have something really , really good . victoria : if this keeps up , i guess we can start selling tickets . ashley : [ sighs ] chelsea deserved it . what she did , i mean , she betrayed my brother , and if you had n't told her off , i would have . well done , by the way . victoria : it 's probably the nicest thing you 've said to me in awhile . ashley : yeah , well , we 've been having some problems . but you were always a very good match for billy , and i 'm sorry things did n't work out for you two . billy : you know what , man ? i 'm sick of it . i do n't want to hear another word out of you . adam : what are you gon na do ? you gon na hit me again ? huh ? do it . hit me again . it 'll give me a reason to have your ass thrown in jail where you belong . chelsea : wait . you -- you hit him ? what were you thinking ? billy : i do n't know . take a guess . this guy has had an agenda from the beginning . i mean , that was no surprise . but you ? you really fooled me . i honestly thought that you had changed , but you 're the same piece of trash you always have been . adam : do n't talk to her like that , man . billy : those words that you said to me , how you trusted me , how you loved me , if you really trusted me , you 'd have known that nothing happened between me and victoria . and if you loved me , you never would have thrown yourself at this son of a -- chelsea : billy -- billy : did it make you feel better ? did it ? i know everything i need to know about this relationship . i was another mark in a long con for you . adam : sorry . chelsea : everything he said about me is true .

[ todd laughs ] todd : see if you still feel the same way when starr gets knocked up by her biology teacher . oh , no , john did n't tell you about her latest crush ? yeah , i would n't think so . it 's one of the two billion things he does n't know about her or about parenting , for that matter . téa : look , todd , john mcbain risked his life to save you and starr . frankly , i do n't think you would do the same thing for him . john : nice shot . todd : maybe i missed . it 's a good thing the cops came when they did , i 'll tell you that .

[ judge pounds gavel ] judge : mr. hughes ? hugh : thank you . dr. truman , is there a reason why you did n't come forward with this information sooner ? spencer : well , as i said , doctor - patient confidentiality , but also because there 's someone very close to this case , a good friend of mine , who happens to think that mr. manning is innocent . and i trust this person . therefore , i also believe that mr. manning is innocent . hugh : thank you . no further questions . judge : ms. williamson , do you wish to cross - examine ? evangeline : i do , your honor . todd : bury this bastard . evangeline : good afternoon , dr. truman . spencer : good afternoon . evangeline : i agree with district attorney hughes that your credentials as a physician are impeccable , and i would also like to use your expertise to clarify a few points for all of us . you read the autopsy report carefully , did you not ? spencer : yes , i did . it was pretty straightforward . i would be very surprised if something had escaped me . evangeline : the strong probability that margaret was strangled by a man -- that did n't escape you ? spencer : no , i agree with the coroner . i believe that margaret was almost undoubtedly strangled by a man . evangeline : did it escape you that this man was not identified ? spencer : no . evangeline : nowhere on the report does the name `` todd manning `` appear . spencer : that 's right . evangeline : so as far as you and the coroner know , based upon all the evidence in the autopsy report , it could 've been any man in the entire world ? spencer : yes . evangeline : now i 'd like to turn to what you heard or what you believe was said when you were treating mr. manning 's stab wound . you testified that my client was delirious . is that correct ? spencer : that 's right . evangeline : fading in and out , you said ? spencer : yes . evangeline : and yet you believed what he said to be true , the words of a delirious man ? spencer : well , frankly , i did n't give it that much thought . evangeline : oh . because you were busy attending to what must have been a very serious wound if you , such an important physician , were treating him . is it true that your concern was the wound ? spencer : yes . evangeline : so it 's not like you were taking notes . you did n't write down the babblings of a delirious man ? spencer : no . evangeline : no . spencer : no . evangeline : no . so since you were so involved in treating this severe injury , is it safe to say that you could 've missed some of what was said or misconstrued the meaning ? hugh : dr. truman has already testified as to what the defendant said . judge : is that an objection , mr. hughes ? evangeline : your honor , i am simply trying to refresh dr. truman 's memory , giving him an opportunity to clarify his previous testimony . judge : move on , ms. williamson . evangeline : seeing as how district attorney hughes is so convinced that your previous testimony is the unshakable truth , i have one final question . is it not true that you testified , sitting on this stand under oath , that you believe todd manning is innocent ? spencer : yes . evangeline : thank you . no further questions . judge : mr. hughes , redirect ? hugh : no , your honor . judge : you may step down , doctor . spencer : thank you . judge : this court is now in recess . bailiff : all rise . blair : i 'll be right back . dorian : well , i would give that round to the defense . viki : oh , come on , dorian , it 's not a boxing match . dorian : i find evangeline to be very impressive , though . goodness knows she did do a number on you . viki : she was doing her job . dorian : i know , but to , you know , bring out in court your long history of mental illness , to inform the entire courtroom that your promiscuous alter ego niki is once again out on the loose -- well , for a moment there , i just thanked my lucky stars i was n't in your shoes . viki : oh . well , the feeling is entirely mutual , i can assure you . dorian : i think that was out of line . i 'm trying to be supportive here . viki : oh , dorian , come on , you 're getting your digs in . i mean , friendship is all very well when it suits you , but you never miss an opportunity to kick me when i 'm down . dorian : that 's a terrible thing to say . viki : you tell me something -- why did you feel it was necessary to inform me that you want to date clint ? dorian : maybe because i have a genuine interest in the man . viki : oh , really ? has it ever occurred to you he may not have a genuine interest in you ? he may not have any interest in you , for that matter . dorian : we 'll just see about that . blair : spencer , wait , please . spencer : i do n't have time , blair . blair : i want to talk to you a minute . i just want to talk to you about what happened up on the stand , please ? spencer : i 'm sorry . blair : spencer -- dorian : blair , honey . blair : what ? dorian : that is so rude . stop taking pictures ! honey , are you all right ? blair : how can you even ask that ? dorian : because something has come up and i might have to leave , but if you need me , i wo n't . blair : go . you know , go . dorian : are you sure ? blair : i 'll be fine . just go . dorian : all right , i love you , i love you . todd : you could practically see the sincerity dripping from this guy 's mouth . and he never lets you forget he 's a doctor . this whole `` i 'm so humble , `` and all the while , he 's throwing out his credentials like he 's the surgeon general or something . evangeline : listen , the bottom line is he did n't hurt our case . in fact , i think i managed to twist his testimony so that it favored us . blair : evangeline , may i have a word with todd , please ? evangeline : of course . blair : thank you . evangeline : hey , viki . i was wondering if i could just have a word with you . viki : you know , evangeline , i do n't think so . not just now , ok ? todd : so what 'd your good friend dr. truman have to say ? viki : come on , todd , he was trying to help you . ca n't you see that ? todd : no . blair : you really do n't remember ever telling him that margaret was pregnant or that you tried to kill her ? todd : no , i was out of it . you heard him . i barely remember seeing him at the hospital . blair : so he was telling the truth ?

evangeline : i do , your honor . todd : bury this bastard . evangeline : good afternoon , dr. truman . spencer : good afternoon . evangeline : i agree with district attorney hughes that your credentials as a physician are impeccable , and i would also like to use your expertise to clarify a few points for all of us . you read the autopsy report carefully , did you not ? spencer : yes , i did . it was pretty straightforward . i would be very surprised if something had escaped me . evangeline : the strong probability that margaret was strangled by a man -- that did n't escape you ? spencer : no , i agree with the coroner . i believe that margaret was almost undoubtedly strangled by a man . evangeline : did it escape you that this man was not identified ? spencer : no . evangeline : nowhere on the report does the name `` todd manning `` appear . spencer : that 's right . evangeline : so as far as you and the coroner know , based upon all the evidence in the autopsy report , it could 've been any man in the entire world ? spencer : yes . evangeline : now i 'd like to turn to what you heard or what you believe was said when you were treating mr. manning 's stab wound . you testified that my client was delirious . is that correct ? spencer : that 's right . evangeline : fading in and out , you said ? spencer : yes . evangeline : and yet you believed what he said to be true , the words of a delirious man ? spencer : well , frankly , i did n't give it that much thought . evangeline : oh . because you were busy attending to what must have been a very serious wound if you , such an important physician , were treating him . is it true that your concern was the wound ? spencer : yes . evangeline : so it 's not like you were taking notes . you did n't write down the babblings of a delirious man ? spencer : no . evangeline : no . spencer : no . evangeline : no . so since you were so involved in treating this severe injury , is it safe to say that you could 've missed some of what was said or misconstrued the meaning ? hugh : dr. truman has already testified as to what the defendant said . judge : is that an objection , mr. hughes ? evangeline : your honor , i am simply trying to refresh dr. truman 's memory , giving him an opportunity to clarify his previous testimony . judge : move on , ms. williamson . evangeline : seeing as how district attorney hughes is so convinced that your previous testimony is the unshakable truth , i have one final question . is it not true that you testified , sitting on this stand under oath , that you believe todd manning is innocent ? spencer : yes . evangeline : thank you . no further questions . judge : mr. hughes , redirect ? hugh : no , your honor . judge : you may step down , doctor . spencer : thank you . judge : this court is now in recess . bailiff : all rise . blair : i 'll be right back . dorian : well , i would give that round to the defense . viki : oh , come on , dorian , it 's not a boxing match . dorian : i find evangeline to be very impressive , though . goodness knows she did do a number on you . viki : she was doing her job . dorian : i know , but to , you know , bring out in court your long history of mental illness , to inform the entire courtroom that your promiscuous alter ego niki is once again out on the loose -- well , for a moment there , i just thanked my lucky stars i was n't in your shoes . viki : oh . well , the feeling is entirely mutual , i can assure you . dorian : i think that was out of line . i 'm trying to be supportive here . viki : oh , dorian , come on , you 're getting your digs in . i mean , friendship is all very well when it suits you , but you never miss an opportunity to kick me when i 'm down . dorian : that 's a terrible thing to say . viki : you tell me something -- why did you feel it was necessary to inform me that you want to date clint ? dorian : maybe because i have a genuine interest in the man . viki : oh , really ? has it ever occurred to you he may not have a genuine interest in you ? he may not have any interest in you , for that matter . dorian : we 'll just see about that . blair : spencer , wait , please . spencer : i do n't have time , blair . blair : i want to talk to you a minute . i just want to talk to you about what happened up on the stand , please ? spencer : i 'm sorry . blair : spencer -- dorian : blair , honey . blair : what ? dorian : that is so rude . stop taking pictures ! honey , are you all right ? blair : how can you even ask that ? dorian : because something has come up and i might have to leave , but if you need me , i wo n't . blair : go . you know , go . dorian : are you sure ? blair : i 'll be fine . just go . dorian : all right , i love you , i love you . todd : you could practically see the sincerity dripping from this guy 's mouth . and he never lets you forget he 's a doctor . this whole `` i 'm so humble , `` and all the while , he 's throwing out his credentials like he 's the surgeon general or something . evangeline : listen , the bottom line is he did n't hurt our case . in fact , i think i managed to twist his testimony so that it favored us . blair : evangeline , may i have a word with todd , please ? evangeline : of course . blair : thank you . evangeline : hey , viki . i was wondering if i could just have a word with you . viki : you know , evangeline , i do n't think so . not just now , ok ? todd : so what 'd your good friend dr. truman have to say ? viki : come on , todd , he was trying to help you . ca n't you see that ? todd : no . blair : you really do n't remember ever telling him that margaret was pregnant or that you tried to kill her ? todd : no , i was out of it . you heard him . i barely remember seeing him at the hospital . blair : so he was telling the truth ?

not do every single thing in my power to get him back ? ivy : yeah , well , ethan is my son and he loves gwen , and he is happy with gwen . theresa : he does n't love gwen . ivy : i will not allow you to come between them again . do i make myself perfectly clear ? theresa : oh , right . you know grace and sam bennett , ivy ? they were harmony 's perfect couple . they were so happy together until david hastings appeared out of nowhere claiming to be her husband . so odd how she left sam and all of her children to run away to europe together , leaving sam bennett all to yourself . maybe i ought to look and see what really happened , ivy . thought that 'd shut you up . beth : what could alistair have meant ?

[ scene_break ] gabi : we can hang out in here . rafe : wow . little fancier than your room over the pub , huh ? gabi : yeah . this place is , um , huge . it 's kinda weird . rafe : yeah , well ... gabi : everybody 's been really nice , though . rafe : ah , that 's great . that 's good . so what 's up ? something tells me you did n't wan na just show off your fancy new digs . what do you wan na talk about ? gabi : kate roberts . rafe : ah .

[ exhales ] nothing 's going on with me . i 'm fine . lucas : you 're upset about the way you left things with him , are n't you ? [ scene_break ] stefano : our business is not complete . what 's , uh -- what 's the matter , sy ? you -- you seem a little -- a little anxious . sy : look , mr. dimera , i am really sorry . stefano : sorry ? for ? sy : [ exhales ] i never should 've gone to victor kiriakis . [ scene_break ] brady : well , let 's say you have a terrific eye for detail , and i thought this would be a neutral - enough topic . i mean , there 's nothing controversial about -- about your pictures , right ? marlena : no , not at all . brady : [ exhales ] hope : oh , this is awfully nice , seeing you two together . marlena : well , brady was asking my advice about some artwork for titan . brady : marlena has a very good eye . so i thought she would be helpful in giving me some input . let me -- let me show you a couple more of these proposals . marlena : great , great . let me see what you 've got going on here . [ scene_break ] kristen : [ exhales ] [ gasps ] [ exhales ] sami 's not here . john : i 'm here to see you . i brought you something . you look nervous . kristen : i 'm not nervous . i 'm just not sure what you 're -- john : well , you told me not to come back again unless i brought you a gift . now i have one . [ scene_break ] stefano : what do you mean , you went to victor kiriakis ? sy : like i said , i am really , really sorry . stefano : you tell me exactly what you 've done . [ scene_break ] hope : i 'm really s -- i - i do n't mean to interrupt your brainstorming , but i really need to talk to you , brady . we still have an apb out on the guy who mugged you . marlena : oh . well , do you know his name ? brady : i id 'd the guy at the station . marlena : but you do n't have him ? hope : no , no , we do n't . his trail went cold , unfortunately . [ scene_break ] kristen : i have to admit i 'm a little intrigued by what you brought me , but i asked for that gift a while ago before i saw your true colors and i found out that you never really accepted brady and me . so i do n't care if you 've got the holy grail in that bag . i 'm not interested in it or you . john : well , you might change your mind when you see what i have here . [ scene_break ] nick : vargas , you do n't know anything about me or my life outside of prison . vargas : [ exhales ] i know this much . i know that you 're not your wife 's baby daddy . nick : my marriage is none of your business . it has absolutely nothing to do with anything between us . vargas : it better not , nicky , because i need you focused . and if you 're all distracted , and you 're out there making mistakes , then that 's gon na totally become my business . nick : i 've got it under control . okay ? vargas : good . so what do you have for me ? [ scene_break ] rafe : you got ta listen to me . this thing with kate , it is not gon na be a problem , okay ? and the contract that she wanted you to sign , it is in the past , all right ? she 's just overprotective of will , and -- and , you know , especially with him maybe not being able to be part of the child 's life , you know , it kinda makes sense . gabi : look , rafe , everyone -- everyone 's upset , okay ? nick thinks that he has to protect me from , like , everyone . rafe : yeah , i know . yeah . and i get it , you know ? but it 's different with kate . she 's not trying to hurt you . gabi : well , she already did hurt me . i mean , you saw those papers . she was trying to take advantage of me and i almost fell for it . rafe : well , bad method , good reason , okay ? look , she 's just looking out for will . she loves will , she cares about him a lot , and she cares about you too . she is not trying to hurt you , and she gave me her word on that , so ... gabi : oh , my god . oh , my god . oh , my god . rafe : oh - your - god what ? gabi : you and kate . i - i did n't wan na believe it , but n -- i ca n't believe that it 's true . you d -- are you with her , rafe ? rafe : no . [ scene_break ] lucas : well , do n't look at me like that . i just meant it 's got ta be hard for you having stefano back in town , that 's it . kate : okay . well , you 're wrong . lucas : am i ? really ? you loved the guy , did n't you ? kate : [ stammers ] lucas , you know , i 'm just not gon na talk to you about it , all right ? lucas : all right . kate : change the topic . sami , have you spoken to her about having allie live in the dimera mansion ? lucas : yes , mom . i 've spoken to her . i gave her hell about that . but she has other reasons for moving back in there . kate : really ? other reasons ? what ? lucas : just one very important reason , that 's all , all right ? just leave it at that . kate : does that mean you 're okay with allie living with the dimeras ? lucas : no , i 'm not okay with it , all right ? but allie , you know , likes johnny and sydney , you know ? they like hanging out . they like being together . so i 'm not gon na split up the kids over this . kate : so that 's it . lucas : no , it 's not it . they 've lived there before . the big problem is that sami 's back with ej . that 's the big problem . kate : well , i suppose you 're all right with that as well . lucas : no , i 'm not all right with it . it -- it 's insane , okay ? but it does n't matter . it 's gon na last two seconds . i have to deal with it because of the kids . but the person i feel sorry for is rafe . kate : rafe ? why ? lucas : i do n't know . i just get the feeling that rafe 's never been able to move on from sami , you know ? kate : why would you think that ? i mean , you did . lucas : yeah , i did . i 've been in love with other women before , but i do n't think rafe has or ever will . no , when it comes to rafe , sami is the love of his life . [ exhales ] [ scene_break ] sami : no , it 's not a no . ej : okay . that 's something . it 's not exactly a yes , though , is it ? sami : [ stammers ] i just have n't given you an answer , and there 's ... [ exhales ] there 's a reason for that . ej : maybe you could explain that to me ? sami : ej , i ca n't say yes . i ca n't say yes until i am sure that you are not asking me to marry you for all the wrong reasons . [ scene_break ] hope : we had a lead , and it evaporated . brady : you 'll find him . [ cell phone rings ] brady : and when you do , you 'll put him away . excuse me .

[ scene_break ] nick : so it could be big , but it 's -- it 's risky . vargas : hey , no risk , no reward , right ? nick : i have to research it some more , all right ? and the timing is critical , and it 's not all legit , okay ? so i have to be careful . vargas : oh , family man that you are now , right ? nick : i 'm on parole , vargas . do you understand that ? i need to be very , very careful . vargas : hey , i 'm nothing if i 'm not careful . nick : just give me some time . i 'll be in touch . vargas : wait . nick : what ? gabi 's expecting me . vargas : yeah , about that , i 've got a question . nick : which is ? vargas : why the hell did you get yourself into this baby mess in the first place ? [ scene_break ] rafe : oh , no . no . gabi , no , no , no , no , no . you are way off - base here . that is not -- gabi : rafe , stop because you 're the worst liar in the world , and you know what ? i knew this was happening . i knew it because i saw it when you two were in my hospital room , and then at the pub , and i also saw it -- rafe : okay , okay . okay , all right ? i did n't -- i did n't ... i 'm sorry it upsets you . gabi : you 're sleeping with will 's grandmother ... rafe : oh , for the love of god . gabi : and he 's my baby 's father , okay ? i mean , i - i - i deserve the right to know that you were having an affair with kate . [ scene_break ] ej : i , uh ... for , the wrong reasons , i 'm -- i 'm sorry . i , uh -- i - i , uh -- i do n't know that i understand that . sami : i 'm sorry . i mean , i wish i was n't thinking like this . i wish i could stop myself and -- and not think about it . ej : not think what ?

[ sighs ] since you moved into the mansion , since we 've been living together , i have felt a peace and a fullness that i never knew existed . i love you , okay ? even when i said i did n't love you , i loved you ... sami : [ laughs ] ej : and to be able to say that now and to hear those words in return , that 's -- that 's all i want . that 's all i need . we could 've done this anywhere . we could 've gone somewhere fancy , expensive . i 'm impatient , and i just want to hear you say yes , you will marry me . will i be waiting for quite a long time ? not sure how much longer i can wait . sami : yes . [ gasps ] yes . yes . [ laughter ] yes . i will marry you , ej . ej : [ exhales ] sami : ej . i love you . i love you so much . okay ? [ scene_break ] marlena : when i saw john , my heart stopped . i thought we would talk , but he just wanted to get the keys to the storage . it was like talking to a stranger . and then , brady wanted to engage , and that was like putting a band - aid on a knife wound . hope : marlena , please do not stop fighting for what matters most to you . you ca n't give up . marlena : i have fought and fought and fought . i 'm exhausted . and nothing 's gon na help unless ... hope : unless ? u can expose kristen to brady . is there a way to do that ? marlena : maybe . but it would be in your hands . [ scene_break ] kristen : so just leave whatever you brought , okay ? it 's probably some stupid remnant from our past , and i 'll happily throw it away . john : no , maybe when you see what 's inside it , you 'll reconsider that plan . kristen : no , i 'm not looking behind anymore , john . i 'm looking ahead with brady ! [ scene_break ] john : i mean , you could n't be a coach if you were out of uniforms , so this is for you . kristen : why do you do this ? john : why do i do what ? kristen : why do you keep doing all these sweet things ? oh , lord , john . that was a long , long time ago . [ scene_break ] rafe : i did n't tell you about kate because i did n't want to upset you , and obviously , based on your reaction , i was right on track , so ... gabi : are you in love with her , rafe ? rafe : i am not gon na talk to you about my feelings . gabi : is that what she told you to say ? rafe : okay , what -- what does that even mean ? gabi : i - i 'm just wondering if she tells you what to do , and more importantly , if you listen to her . rafe : huh . well , does anyone ever tell me what to do ? so i 'm not gon na start now , am i ? gabi : rafe , look . she 's just a very persuasive woman , and i just wan na know how much influence she has on you . rafe : well , how about none ? in fact , i broke up with her because i thought that she was using me to get to you . [ scene_break ] nick : it 's not complicated . i got out of prison , i met gabi , we fell in love . vargas : that 's a lot to swallow , you know , raising another man 's baby . nick : as long as i have gabi and we have our baby , that 's all i care about . vargas : hmm . man , you 're really into this whole ready - made family thing , are n't ya ? in fact , you almost seem a little bit desperate to make it happen . nick : it will happen . vargas : look , nick , i was there . those years you spent in prison , the things that you went through ... nick : are behind me . vargas : hmm . i guess if it 's meant to be , but you take it from me , man . desperation screws everything up . never a good thing .

[ scene_break ] rafe : you got ta listen to me . this thing with kate , it is not gon na be a problem , okay ? and the contract that she wanted you to sign , it is in the past , all right ? she 's just overprotective of will , and -- and , you know , especially with him maybe not being able to be part of the child 's life , you know , it kinda makes sense . gabi : look , rafe , everyone -- everyone 's upset , okay ? nick thinks that he has to protect me from , like , everyone . rafe : yeah , i know . yeah . and i get it , you know ? but it 's different with kate . she 's not trying to hurt you . gabi : well , she already did hurt me . i mean , you saw those papers . she was trying to take advantage of me and i almost fell for it . rafe : well , bad method , good reason , okay ? look , she 's just looking out for will . she loves will , she cares about him a lot , and she cares about you too . she is not trying to hurt you , and she gave me her word on that , so ... gabi : oh , my god . oh , my god . oh , my god . rafe : oh - your - god what ? gabi : you and kate . i - i did n't wan na believe it , but n -- i ca n't believe that it 's true . you d -- are you with her , rafe ? rafe : no .

[ exhales ] [ scene_break ] sami : no , it 's not a no . ej : okay . that 's something . it 's not exactly a yes , though , is it ? sami : [ stammers ] i just have n't given you an answer , and there 's ...

[ sighs ] since you moved into the mansion , since we 've been living together , i have felt a peace and a fullness that i never knew existed . i love you , okay ? even when i said i did n't love you , i loved you ... sami : [ laughs ] ej : and to be able to say that now and to hear those words in return , that 's -- that 's all i want . that 's all i need . we could 've done this anywhere . we could 've gone somewhere fancy , expensive . i 'm impatient , and i just want to hear you say yes , you will marry me . will i be waiting for quite a long time ? not sure how much longer i can wait . sami : yes . [ gasps ] yes . yes . [ laughter ] yes . i will marry you , ej . ej : [ exhales ] sami : ej . i love you . i love you so much . okay ? [ scene_break ] marlena : when i saw john , my heart stopped . i thought we would talk , but he just wanted to get the keys to the storage . it was like talking to a stranger . and then , brady wanted to engage , and that was like putting a band - aid on a knife wound . hope : marlena , please do not stop fighting for what matters most to you . you ca n't give up . marlena : i have fought and fought and fought . i 'm exhausted . and nothing 's gon na help unless ... hope : unless ? u can expose kristen to brady . is there a way to do that ? marlena : maybe . but it would be in your hands . [ scene_break ] kristen : so just leave whatever you brought , okay ? it 's probably some stupid remnant from our past , and i 'll happily throw it away . john : no , maybe when you see what 's inside it , you 'll reconsider that plan . kristen : no , i 'm not looking behind anymore , john . i 'm looking ahead with brady ! [ scene_break ] john : i mean , you could n't be a coach if you were out of uniforms , so this is for you . kristen : why do you do this ? john : why do i do what ? kristen : why do you keep doing all these sweet things ? oh , lord , john . that was a long , long time ago . [ scene_break ] rafe : i did n't tell you about kate because i did n't want to upset you , and obviously , based on your reaction , i was right on track , so ... gabi : are you in love with her , rafe ? rafe : i am not gon na talk to you about my feelings . gabi : is that what she told you to say ? rafe : okay , what -- what does that even mean ? gabi : i - i 'm just wondering if she tells you what to do , and more importantly , if you listen to her . rafe : huh . well , does anyone ever tell me what to do ? so i 'm not gon na start now , am i ? gabi : rafe , look . she 's just a very persuasive woman , and i just wan na know how much influence she has on you . rafe : well , how about none ? in fact , i broke up with her because i thought that she was using me to get to you . [ scene_break ] nick : it 's not complicated . i got out of prison , i met gabi , we fell in love . vargas : that 's a lot to swallow , you know , raising another man 's baby . nick : as long as i have gabi and we have our baby , that 's all i care about . vargas : hmm . man , you 're really into this whole ready - made family thing , are n't ya ? in fact , you almost seem a little bit desperate to make it happen . nick : it will happen . vargas : look , nick , i was there . those years you spent in prison , the things that you went through ... nick : are behind me . vargas : hmm . i guess if it 's meant to be , but you take it from me , man . desperation screws everything up . never a good thing .

'cause i do . i love you . i wanted to tell you about a million times , but ... i always held back . sam : because of nina . silas : partly . but , you know , now that she 's at peace and i know the how s and the why s ... it 's as close to closure as i 'm ever gon na get . sam : okay . what 's the other part ? silas : i was scared . if you repeat that to anyone , we 're over . we 're done , okay ? i could n't tell you how i felt 'cause ... love is scary . i just want you to know i -- i said those things , and i do n't need to hear them back , all right ? it 's not something i need . i just -- i needed you to know and now you do , so ... are you thirsty ? i 'm -- i 'm really thirsty . i 'm gon na get a glass of water , maybe a beer or something . sam : silas . you 're right . i mean , it is scary . but if you can be brave , so can i. i love you , too . brad : uh , what 's going on here ? felix : exactly what it looks like . i 'm changing his bandage . brad : [ scoffs ] are you all right ? felix : he 's doing great . brad : i asked lucas . lucas : yeah , i 'm fine . brad : i 'm so sorry . i would have been here sooner . i was out of town . i just literally heard you 'd been shot . wow . i ca n't believe i just said that . you 've been shot . lucas : yeah , really ups my street cred , huh ? brad : [ chuckles ] i feel like such an ass . lucas : why ? it 's not like we 're together . besides , felix has been taking really good care of me . molly : no ! alexis : molly . molly : this is n't true ! alexis : i 'm so sorry . molly : those are all lies ! alexis : not this time . i know you want to believe that , but i do n't think so . molly : of course they are ! is n't that julian 's paper ? alexis : yes . molly : then he can write whatever he wants . no one 's gon na question his authority . he 's the boss . alexis : molly , the police have evidence . molly : given to them by julian ! he could have made the whole thing up . it 's not like he 's never been dishonest before . alexis : not this time . molly : you really believe that , do n't you ? you trust him . well , i do n't . bobbie : i want you to stay away from my son . julian : he 's my son , too . i have just as much right to be here as you do . bobbie : how do you say that with a straight face ? you 're the reason why he 's in that bed in the first place . julian : you have every right to be upset . bobbie : upset ? ! oh ! lucas has known you all of four months and you 've already landed him in the icu . julian : okay , that 's true , but you have to und -- bobbie : you know , when you first came to town , i knew that your business was gon na put him in danger , and i was right . did n't take you very long to make him a victim of the jerome crime family . julian : okay , you know what ? lucas is way more danger from your family than he is from mine . felix : i 'm his nurse . brad : yeah , i bet you 're pulling out all the stops with that bedside manner of yours . felix : i 'm his nurse . i 'm supposed to be attentive . brad : oh , i think it 's a little more than that . lucas : guys . brad : or have you forgotten what lucas said at the nurses ' ball ? because i sure as hell have n't . although i 'm getting a sneaking suspicion the whole `` felix and i are together `` might have been a ploy just to push me away . lucas : may come as a shock to you , brad , but not everything i do is about you . felix : can you blame him for wanting nothing to do with you ? i mean , you stole his cousin 's embryo , and you tried to keep her from her child . brad : so you 're admitting i 'm right ? you guys are n't dating . felix : oh , we are very much dating . in fact , we had a lovely dinner the other night . until it was interrupted by a hail of gunfire . bobbie : my family is putting lucas in danger ? [ scoffs ] what ? he might burn his tongue at kelly 's ? julian : just forget it . bobbie : no , no , no . you wait a minute . you do n't get to sweep that under the rug . who are you talking about ? julian : [ sighs ] carly . is n't she dating a serial killer ? bobbie : franco has n't been anywhere near lucas . he certainly had nothing to do with the shooting . that is all on you . unless you 're going to deny it . julian : no . bobbie : well , at least there 's that . julian : look , regardless of what you think of me , i love my son . and i 'm gon na do everything in my power to protect him . you can take that to the bank . alexis : molly , it is n't just julian 's word against your father . the police have evidence . they found the gun used to shoot lucas in ric 's hotel room with ric 's prints on it . molly : oh , and things like fingerprints are never fabricated , right ? alexis : no . molly : come on , mom ! you 're a lawyer ! you know how these things work . alexis : i also know when it 's not -- molly : speaking of , what are you even doing here ? alexis : what are you talking about ? molly : why are n't you at the station ? dad needs you . alexis : i think elizabeth is hiring diane . molly : diane ? alexis : diane . she 's an excellent attorney . molly : not better than you . alexis : i ca n't , molly . molly : oh , okay . i see how it is . so , you can help uncle sonny and julian jerome , but you ca n't defend dad . alexis : that 's -- it 's not what you -- molly : you ca n't help all of your other daughters ' fathers , but not mine . fine . you know what ? i do n't care . you may have turned your back on dad , but i never will . elizabeth : you 're not seriously comparing ric to britt . their situations are entirely different . nikolas : really ? how ? elizabeth : ric is innocent . julian is making up all those stories about him , just like he made up the evidence . he planted that gun in his room . nikolas : okay , fine . i 'll give you that , that jerome may have planted the gun . but how did he get ric 's prints all over it ? huh ? elizabeth : what do you mean ? nikolas : would you just read the article ? the police found ric 's prints all over the gun . elizabeth : no , this is -- must be a mistake . nikolas : i 'm sorry . elizabeth : he lied to me ? nikolas : at least you found out before you got in too deep . or not . elizabeth : i slept with him last night . i was still in his bed when the police barged in and searched his room . he -- he seemed so confused , like he honestly had no idea why this was happening . nikolas : he had a lot more than an idea . elizabeth : we had such a perfect night . right before the police came , he was telling me that he thought this was the beginning to something real . and i fell for it . nikolas : there 's nothing wrong with wanting to see the best in people . elizabeth : why do i keep doing this ? nikolas : no . because you 're human . elizabeth : [ sniffles ] but with everything that ric has pulled , why do i continue to believe him ? what is wrong with me that i do that ? nikolas : hey , hey , hey , hey . there is nothing wrong with you . okay ? ric is the problem , not you . elizabeth : [ crying ] but i kind of believed he meant what he said last night . nikolas : [ sighs ] maybe he did . elizabeth : but how can you care about someone so much and live an alternate life ? nikolas : i do n't know . let me ask britt and get back to you . elizabeth : [ chuckles ] [ sniffles ] i feel really stupid . nikolas : oh , come on . hey . do n't . elizabeth : i feel embarrassed . and ashamed . nikolas : tell me what i can to make this better , all right ? if me being here is not helping , just say the word and i 'll go . nathan : i do n't know what to do . how can i tell silas that his wife is still alive when i have no way of knowing if that 's true ? and i ca n't just ask him to take madeline 's word for it . after everything she 's done to him ? everything we 've done to him ? britt : okay , i think you 're being a little hard on yourself . nathan : no , i made this guy 's life miserable for months . i accused him over and over again of killing my sister -- his wife . i ca n't just drop it in his lap that she 's still alive . what if i 'm wrong ? it would n't be fair . britt : it 's a tough decision . nathan : but ? britt : okay , before i say this , yes , i know it 's hypocritical of me given recent events , but ... it 's silas ' wife . i mean , does n't he have the right to know ? silas : you love me ? sam : hey , you said it first . silas : is that why you said it back ? are you sure you really love me ? sam : i , sam ... love you , silas . yeah . are you happy now ? [ chuckles ] silas : you have no idea . sam : yes , i do , actually . when you were talking about your wife , when you were saying how you never thought you were gon na be able to make a connection again , and you were n't gon na be able to move on -- i felt the same way when jason died . i thought to myself , `` that 's it . i had my one great love . `` gosh , was i wrong . silas : but you 're never wrong . sam : [ laughs ] i know . that 's crazy , right ? [ sighs ] you gave me something i thought i lost . a future with a man who actually loves me . silas : i need to reiterate -- a man you love back . sam : yes . a man i love back . i mean , how lucky are we ? silas : i feel like i 'm dreaming . sam : you 're not dreaming . silas : come here . alexis : molly ? molly , please come back here so we can talk about it .

silas : hurt too much to look at it . sam : yeah . i bet it hurts even more letting it go . silas : you know , i 'm starting to think it 's time . it 's time to start letting go . just let go of all of it . it 's time to let go of nina . brad : what are you talking about , lucas almost died ? britt : it was shot a few days ago . brad : shot ? as in ... with a gun ? britt : okay , i do n't have all the details , but apparently a hit man showed up at his father 's dinner party and he was the target . brad : oh , my god . how bad ? britt : it was touch - and - go for awhile . he needed surgery . brad : [ gasps ] britt : but from what i 've heard , he should make a full recovery . brad : well , where 's lucas now ? britt : he 's in icu , but i 'm not sure if he can have any visitors . brad : i got to get up there . lucas : thanks . julian : yeah . so , can i get you something else ? lucas : just answers , really . what the hell happened that night ? julian : [ sighs ] you remember how i said i , uh ... quit the business ? lucas : that 's why we were celebrating . julian : yeah . well , my boss did n't take it too well . so that gunman was sent there on his orders to send a message . lucas , i am so sorry . if i would have known that you would have ended up paying the price ... lucas : wow . i do n't even know what to say . julian : you do n't have to say anything . it 's my mess . i cleaned it up . my old boss , he 's -- he 's out of the picture . lucas : what ? whoa , whoa , whoa . what does that mean , `` out of the picture `` ? molly : do n't leave me in suspense . what did you want to talk to me about ? alexis : about the shooting at the gallery the other night . molly : mom , i was so worried . i still ca n't believe that happened . alexis : neither can i . molly : and when i found out you and sam were in the middle of everything , and poor lucas ! alexis : lucas is gon na be fine , so that 's good . molly : thank god . alexis : it really was awful , molly . the police were working overtime to find out who sent the shooter . molly : `` were `` ? they 're still looking , right ? they have n't given up . alexis : they found him , molly , and they 've arrested him . molly : good ! i hope he rots in jail for the rest of his life . alexis : i do n't think you 're going to have that opinion when you find out who it was . molly : why ? do i know him ? mom , you 're really freaking me out . who is it ? alexis : it 's your father . silas : as much as i would -- would like to have moved on , knowing nina was alive and she was out there somewhere made it impossible . sam : [ sighs ] silas : and then when i found out the truth -- sam : it still does n't make it any better . silas : i still knew i had caused her all that pain . and that 's what i focused on . which is ironic , 'cause nina would have hated that . sam : [ chuckles ] yeah ? silas : yeah . she was always about living in the moment , and she would drag me right along with her . that 's what i should have focused on , you know ? the good things . i -- instead , all i did was i focused on the guilt . sam : yeah . but we ca n't go back , you know ? silas : no , we ca n't . all we can do is move forward . and for the first time in forever ... that 's what i want to do . lucas : is that some kind of mobster euphemism ? `` out of the picture `` ? julian : you asking me if i had my boss killed ? lucas : yeah , i guess i am . julian : no . lucas : but he 's no longer a problem ? why not ? felix : hey , how 's the patient ? lucas : hanging in there . julian : he 's a heck of a lot better than that . lucas has made a miraculous recovery . lucas : we do n't need to go overboard . julian : i think we do . felix : i 'm just here to change the bandage . julian : well , i 'll leave you to it . felix : squeamish ? lucas : pbht . in his line of work ? sorry . former line of work . felix : it really wo n't take that long . you can come right back . julian : it 's all right . i 'm actually expected at my grandson 's birthday party . lucas : oh , tell danny i 'm sorry and give him a big hug from his uncle lucas . julian : will do . i 'm really happy i got to spend this time with you . see for myself that you 're on the mend . lucas : yeah , thanks for coming . julian : i 'll check in later . lucas : sounds good . julian : [ sighs ] bobbie : what the hell do you think you 're doing ? molly : i do n't understand . alexis : i know it 's a lot to take in . but it 's true , molly . your father sent the gunman . molly : no , that does n't make sense . why would dad want to hurt lucas ? alexis : because he was trying to send a message to julian . molly : they barely know each other . aside from dad being his lawyer for , like , five seconds . otherwise , they have nothing to do with each other . alexis : molly , your father is not julian 's lawyer . he 's his boss . [ sighs ] [ sighs ] julian : i 'm here to see my son . bobbie : not if i have anything to say about it . lucas : whoa . i usually make a guy buy me dinner first . felix : well , your next meal tray is on me . lucas : [ chuckles ] just make it quick , okay ? felix : well , that 's not exactly how this works , but i promise i 'll be gentle . lucas : well , better than nothing . felix : [ chuckles ] okay , how about if i count to three ? will that work ? lucas : mm . felix : [ chuckles ] baby . lucas : [ chuckles ] felix : okay , one ... lucas : mm . felix : ... two ... lucas : mm ! [ door opens ] brad : i got here as soon as i ... could . elizabeth : hi , diane . it 's elizabeth webber . i need to speak with you regarding ric lansing 's case . can you call me back ? it 's urgent . thank you . nikolas : what are you doing ? elizabeth : what do you mean ? i 'm trying to help an innocent man . unlike your aunt . i ca n't believe she wo n't even lift a finger for him . nikolas : actually , i can . elizabeth : he 's molly 's dad ! nikolas : he 's also guilty , elizabeth . elizabeth : no , do n't -- god , no , not you , too . nikolas : did you read this article ? elizabeth : i do n't need to ! i know who ric is . nikolas : yeah , the head of the jerome crime family . elizabeth : do n't you see what julian is doing ? he 's pointing the finger at someone else so that he 'll get immunity . that 's what these people do all the time ! nikolas : it 's not just julian saying so . he gave the police proof . elizabeth : why are you doing this ? why are you trying so hard to convince me he 's guilty ? nikolas : because i 'm trying to get you to see the truth about ric . the same way you helped me see the truth about britt . nathan : hey ! britt : hey ! what are you doing at g.h . ? everything intact ? nathan : [ chuckles ] britt : [ laughs ] nathan : last i checked . i was talking to patrick and sabrina about the accident . we 're gon na see if they remember everything new . britt : did they ? nathan : not much . how are you doing ? britt : okay , i guess . nathan : you talk to nikolas ? britt : [ sighs , chuckles ] not since the epic blow off at the nurses ' ball . nathan : yeah , that was some night , huh ? britt : in more ways than one , yeah . nathan : i have no idea what i thought that was gon na be , but it exceeded all expectations . britt : [ laughs ] you know , i ca n't believe our mother sang to us like that . even more i ca n't believe it actually made me feel sorry for her . nathan : i ca n't believe she 's my mother . britt : you win . yeah , liesl obrecht definitely takes some getting used to . it does n't help that everything she pulls , she always gets away with it somehow . nathan : at least my mother -- [ clears throat ] aunt . sorry . is paying for what she did to nina . i still -- i still ca n't bring myself to call her my cousin yet . britt : so do n't . i mean , she was your sister in every way that counted . nathan : is . britt : sorry , i did n't mean to put her in past tense . nathan : it 's not that . it 's just -- you ready for this ? britt : i 'm not sure . nathan : according to our aunt madeline ... my sister 's still alive . silas : for years , i -- i lived this existence . i woke up . i went to work , i came home , went to bed , and i started the whole thing over again the next day . that was my life until you came along . sam : me ? huh . silas : yeah . it 's all your fault . sam : [ chuckles ] silas : this ... brave , confident , stunning woman who often packs heat at social functions and , for some reason unbeknownst to me , enjoys pineapple on her pizza . you freed me . sam : come on . you say that like you were a prisoner . silas : i think maybe i was . i think nina ... was finally freed when her suffering ended , and i was freed when i met you . sam : silas . silas : this is it . sam , i just want to live in the here and now ... from now on . you know , because it 's so much better than i ever thought it could be . i 'm not doing a very good job of it , but what i 'm trying to say is ... i love you . sabrina : do you really think someone intentionally ran us off the road ? patrick : seems outrageous to me . i mean , who would want to hurt me , you , emma , or our unborn child , for that matter ? [ monitor beeping ] sabrina : that night just changed everything . and the thought of somebody doing that to us on purpose -- patrick , that 's scary . patrick : do n't be scared . all right ? we 're all fine . gabriel , he 's doing fine . he 's getting better with every second that ticks by . sabrina : our little kicker . patrick : yeah . right ? let 's concentrate on that . our son . we 'll let detective west handle the case . nathan : before madeline was shipped off to the city to face trial , she told me nina was still alive . britt : i do n't understand . why would she tell you nina died in the first place ? that 's ... nathan : sick ? britt : yeah , for starters . nathan : it was the only way to get nina 's will through probate so madeline could get the inheritance . britt : and do you think she 's telling the truth ? nathan : the only thing sicker than pretending that nina was dead would be to tell me that she 's alive when she 's not . i mean , not that i would put it past my mo -- aunt . britt : okay , well , i mean , did she -- did she tell you anything ? did she give you any details ? is your sister still at the same facility ? nathan : no . apparently madeline moved her , but she would n't tell me where . britt : convenient . nathan : is n't it ? britt : and you 've had no luck tracking nina down yourself ? nathan : [ sighs ] not so far . which is why i have n't said anything to silas clay . silas : hope i did n't catch you off guard with all that . i ... it just occurred to me i never said those words to you and i thought you deserved to hear them . 'cause i do . i love you . i wanted to tell you about a million times , but ... i always held back . sam : because of nina . silas : partly . but , you know , now that she 's at peace and i know the how s and the why s ... it 's as close to closure as i 'm ever gon na get . sam : okay . what 's the other part ? silas : i was scared . if you repeat that to anyone , we 're over . we 're done , okay ? i could n't tell you how i felt 'cause ... love is scary . i just want you to know i -- i said those things , and i do n't need to hear them back , all right ? it 's not something i need . i just -- i needed you to know and now you do , so ... are you thirsty ? i 'm -- i 'm really thirsty . i 'm gon na get a glass of water , maybe a beer or something . sam : silas . you 're right . i mean , it is scary . but if you can be brave , so can i. i love you , too . brad : uh , what 's going on here ? felix : exactly what it looks like . i 'm changing his bandage . brad : [ scoffs ] are you all right ? felix : he 's doing great . brad : i asked lucas . lucas : yeah , i 'm fine . brad : i 'm so sorry . i would have been here sooner . i was out of town . i just literally heard you 'd been shot . wow . i ca n't believe i just said that . you 've been shot . lucas : yeah , really ups my street cred , huh ? brad : [ chuckles ] i feel like such an ass . lucas : why ? it 's not like we 're together . besides , felix has been taking really good care of me . molly : no ! alexis : molly . molly : this is n't true ! alexis : i 'm so sorry . molly : those are all lies ! alexis : not this time . i know you want to believe that , but i do n't think so . molly : of course they are ! is n't that julian 's paper ? alexis : yes . molly : then he can write whatever he wants . no one 's gon na question his authority . he 's the boss . alexis : molly , the police have evidence . molly : given to them by julian ! he could have made the whole thing up . it 's not like he 's never been dishonest before . alexis : not this time . molly : you really believe that , do n't you ? you trust him . well , i do n't . bobbie : i want you to stay away from my son . julian : he 's my son , too . i have just as much right to be here as you do . bobbie : how do you say that with a straight face ? you 're the reason why he 's in that bed in the first place . julian : you have every right to be upset . bobbie : upset ? ! oh ! lucas has known you all of four months and you 've already landed him in the icu . julian : okay , that 's true , but you have to und -- bobbie : you know , when you first came to town , i knew that your business was gon na put him in danger , and i was right . did n't take you very long to make him a victim of the jerome crime family . julian : okay , you know what ? lucas is way more danger from your family than he is from mine . felix : i 'm his nurse . brad : yeah , i bet you 're pulling out all the stops with that bedside manner of yours . felix : i 'm his nurse . i 'm supposed to be attentive . brad : oh , i think it 's a little more than that . lucas : guys . brad : or have you forgotten what lucas said at the nurses ' ball ? because i sure as hell have n't . although i 'm getting a sneaking suspicion the whole `` felix and i are together `` might have been a ploy just to push me away . lucas : may come as a shock to you , brad , but not everything i do is about you . felix : can you blame him for wanting nothing to do with you ? i mean , you stole his cousin 's embryo , and you tried to keep her from her child . brad : so you 're admitting i 'm right ? you guys are n't dating . felix : oh , we are very much dating . in fact , we had a lovely dinner the other night . until it was interrupted by a hail of gunfire . bobbie : my family is putting lucas in danger ? [ scoffs ] what ? he might burn his tongue at kelly 's ? julian : just forget it . bobbie : no , no , no . you wait a minute . you do n't get to sweep that under the rug . who are you talking about ? julian : [ sighs ] carly . is n't she dating a serial killer ? bobbie : franco has n't been anywhere near lucas . he certainly had nothing to do with the shooting . that is all on you . unless you 're going to deny it . julian : no . bobbie : well , at least there 's that . julian : look , regardless of what you think of me , i love my son . and i 'm gon na do everything in my power to protect him . you can take that to the bank . alexis : molly , it is n't just julian 's word against your father . the police have evidence . they found the gun used to shoot lucas in ric 's hotel room with ric 's prints on it . molly : oh , and things like fingerprints are never fabricated , right ? alexis : no . molly : come on , mom ! you 're a lawyer ! you know how these things work . alexis : i also know when it 's not -- molly : speaking of , what are you even doing here ? alexis : what are you talking about ? molly : why are n't you at the station ? dad needs you . alexis : i think elizabeth is hiring diane . molly : diane ? alexis : diane . she 's an excellent attorney . molly : not better than you . alexis : i ca n't , molly . molly : oh , okay . i see how it is . so , you can help uncle sonny and julian jerome , but you ca n't defend dad . alexis : that 's -- it 's not what you -- molly : you ca n't help all of your other daughters ' fathers , but not mine . fine . you know what ? i do n't care . you may have turned your back on dad , but i never will . elizabeth : you 're not seriously comparing ric to britt . their situations are entirely different . nikolas : really ? how ? elizabeth : ric is innocent . julian is making up all those stories about him , just like he made up the evidence . he planted that gun in his room . nikolas : okay , fine . i 'll give you that , that jerome may have planted the gun . but how did he get ric 's prints all over it ? huh ? elizabeth : what do you mean ? nikolas : would you just read the article ? the police found ric 's prints all over the gun . elizabeth : no , this is -- must be a mistake . nikolas : i 'm sorry . elizabeth : he lied to me ? nikolas : at least you found out before you got in too deep . or not . elizabeth : i slept with him last night . i was still in his bed when the police barged in and searched his room . he -- he seemed so confused , like he honestly had no idea why this was happening . nikolas : he had a lot more than an idea . elizabeth : we had such a perfect night . right before the police came , he was telling me that he thought this was the beginning to something real . and i fell for it . nikolas : there 's nothing wrong with wanting to see the best in people . elizabeth : why do i keep doing this ? nikolas : no . because you 're human . elizabeth : [ sniffles ] but with everything that ric has pulled , why do i continue to believe him ? what is wrong with me that i do that ? nikolas : hey , hey , hey , hey . there is nothing wrong with you . okay ? ric is the problem , not you . elizabeth : [ crying ] but i kind of believed he meant what he said last night . nikolas : [ sighs ] maybe he did . elizabeth : but how can you care about someone so much and live an alternate life ? nikolas : i do n't know . let me ask britt and get back to you . elizabeth : [ chuckles ] [ sniffles ] i feel really stupid . nikolas : oh , come on . hey . do n't . elizabeth : i feel embarrassed . and ashamed . nikolas : tell me what i can to make this better , all right ? if me being here is not helping , just say the word and i 'll go . nathan : i do n't know what to do . how can i tell silas that his wife is still alive when i have no way of knowing if that 's true ? and i ca n't just ask him to take madeline 's word for it . after everything she 's done to him ? everything we 've done to him ? britt : okay , i think you 're being a little hard on yourself . nathan : no , i made this guy 's life miserable for months . i accused him over and over again of killing my sister -- his wife . i ca n't just drop it in his lap that she 's still alive . what if i 'm wrong ? it would n't be fair . britt : it 's a tough decision . nathan : but ? britt : okay , before i say this , yes , i know it 's hypocritical of me given recent events , but ... it 's silas ' wife . i mean , does n't he have the right to know ? silas : you love me ? sam : hey , you said it first . silas : is that why you said it back ? are you sure you really love me ? sam : i , sam ... love you , silas . yeah . are you happy now ?

'cause it wo n't work . daniel : okay . maggie : [ laughs ] daniel : okay . maggie : honey , is something else bothering you ? you just seem all -- i do n't know -- out of focus today . daniel : well , you might as well know . it 's , um ... it 's about jennifer . aiden : there 's no way to sugarcoat it . meredith and i were ... well , unhappy would n't even begin to describe it . but we loved chase . so we both worked hard to keep the marriage going . maybe we should n't have . i - i do n't know . my god , the fights , you know ... neighbors on both sides of us in portland , our second home in puget sound , they could tell you how we fought ... every day ... just constantly talking about divorce . you know , never with each other , always with , you know , friend , co - worker , anyone who 'd listen , but ... it always came back to chase . neither one of us wanted to lose our son , you know , or break his heart by splitting up . you understand that all too well , i know . hope : i do . aiden : so we stuck it out ... although it became increasingly difficult . i guess we all find different ways , you know , to numb the pain . for meredith , it was alcohol ... which is why i rarely touch the stuff . i just -- i remember how it affected her , and i just became intolerant of that kind of behavior in other people , you know , this ... myself too . hope : right . aiden : and then ... at some point ... [ sighs ] i 'm not sure ... where or why ... although i can speculate why , of course ... she , um ... she had a gun . and , uh , you know , occasionally when she was drinking , she would just make these threats . you know , she was gon na take chase away . she was gon na use the gun on me . she was gon na use the gun on herself . the thing is , the ... the gun was never loaded ... until that night . my budget used to be a real downer . aiden : um ... we were on the sound that weekend . chase was sleeping . so meredith and i -- you know , we -- we got into it . i do n't remember what started it all . i do remember that ... the more we fought , the more she would be drinking and the angrier that made me . but , you know , she ... she would n't stop . just kept yelling at me , you know ... and accused me of being a bad father , bad husband , bad person . of course , the things i said to her , you know , uh ... beyond cruel . it was ugly . to say that to a woman i once loved ... she went into the bedroom ... she came out . she had a gun , you know . she started saying she was -- she was gon na kill herself . this is something she had said before to me , you know , and , uh ... but this time she started loading it in front of me . so i had to believe her . she raised the gun to her head ... and i panicked , you know . i - i - i did n't know what to do . i just said ... `` do n't . you 'll wake chase . `` that 's what i said . she had a gun to her head , and i said , `` do n't do it . you 'll wake our son . `` but the thing is ... it stopped her . it stopped her ... 'cause she ... [ exhales deeply ] she loved our son . she did . she did , but she -- she -- she hated me more ... because she put the gun back up to her head . now , this time , i jumped up to grab the gun , but she pulled back . she pulled the trigger . she shot herself . brady : i think the key to this whole thing is to take it one step at a time . theresa : right . brady : although ... if you 're pregnant , i assume you know marriage is not an option . theresa : trust me , i 'm still enough of a catholic to promise you this -- no abortion . brady : if you tried , i 'd fight you . theresa : so ... you want a child ? brady : yeah . i always have . theresa : just not like this , right ? daniel : mom ... i know jennifer means the world to you . and you have always been rooting for us to make a go of it . maggie : oh . daniel : but before she went down to see her mom for a few weeks , we had a talk . and we were both very frank , open , brutally honest . and i 'll have to admit , it is hard to accept . and i know it 's gon na be hard for you to accept too , but we decided ... it 's -- it 's over . maggie : daniel , no . come on , now , you ca n't give up . you got to give it a try . daniel : i 'm sorry . maggie : oh , honey , i 'm sorry too . i 'm sorry too . [ cell phone vibrating ] paige : what 's wrong ? jj : nothing , nothing . i just , uh -- i just got to check this real quick , and i might have to make a call , but i 'll be right back . paige : well , ca n't you just -- [ doorbell rings ] paige : uh , i 'll get it . brady : being a father is something i 've thought about a lot . i love kids . [ chuckles ] it 's just -- the timing has never been , uh ... theresa : do n't even think about trying to take my baby away from me . brady : i would n't do that . listen , i would never do that , okay ? if you are pregnant , we will find a way . we will figure out a way to raise this child . but we 'll do it together . daniel : i 'll tell you , one of the things i will not regret , ever ... knowing jennifer ... loving her . i mean , i think anyone who 's lucky enough to have jennifer horton in their life ... is better for it . maggie : i agree . daniel : right ? maggie : yeah . daniel : and now i just -- i have got to focus on what i do have , what blessings i do have . i have -- i got melanie . i have you . maggie : [ chuckles ] daniel : and i got that little man . i got my man ... parker . i - i got a family . maggie : oh . daniel : right ? maggie : yes , you bet you do . daniel : oh , and i would n't trade it for anything . mm - mm . maggie : sounds like you 're gon na be all right . daniel : eventually , yeah . [ chuckles ] yeah . maggie : [ chuckles ] daniel ? daniel : hmm ? maggie : what is that ? that , next to the toy ? daniel : oh . maggie : i do n't think i 've ever seen you with a money clip . daniel : no , no , that 's jj 's . he borrowed my coat , and it was in the pocket . maggie : oh . daniel : probably -- well , i guess i should probably drop by the house and ... and give it to him . jj : is there somebody at the door ? eve : hello , uh , jj . jj : hello , ms . larson . eve : i , uh , want to talk to your mom . is she around ? jj : no . uh , she , uh -- she 's visiting her mom , but , uh ... she probably wo n't be back for , like , a week or so . eve : oh , well , that 's too bad , 'cause i just wanted to , you know , talk to her about something , but ... paige : you came all the way over here just to talk to her ? eve : no , actually , i did n't . that stupid lawyer sent her royalty check to us by mistake , so ... here , i 've got it right here . i wanted to give it to her in person , but will you make sure that she gets it ? jj : sure . eve : okay . great . hey . paige : huh ? eve : why did you casually blow off your internship today , hmm ? paige , i asked you a question , sweetheart . paige : this has got to be , like , fate . eve : excuse me ? paige : it is ! it was meant to be ! mom , remember how i said i wanted us to have a fresh start ? well , i was actually just about to tell jj how good things were , you know , with you and me . and i want it to be that way for all of us . eve : well , honey , that 's -- that 's very -- that 's a really wonderful goal . but it 's actually a little too idealistic , actually , because -- paige : no , mom , i 'm serious . it can work , i mean , if we try , if we make an effort . i really think the problem is , is you and jj just have n't gotten to know each other well enough . here , okay ... i think we should all go out and talk it through . it can work . i know it can . please ? aiden : thank god chase was a heavy sleeper . guess he had to be , you know . i mean , every time he went to bed , meredith and i would start with the screaming and the yelling and ... although , this time , he woke up ... from the sirens . he was crying , you know , as ... as if he already knew . hope : did he see her ? did he see his mom ? aiden : no . no , when the emergency crews got there , i ... was holding him . it 's all i could do , is just hold him . finally , my sister got there . she ... she took him away , so then the police could interview me and ... deal with meredith 's body . they let me go the next morning . there were no -- no charges ... although ... hope : though , what ? aiden : [ sighs ] well , when the police first got there , things looked pretty bad for me . um ... look , i 'm an attorney . i know exactly what not to do . i did n't protect myself ... and i should have ... for chase 's sake , you know , but i - i - i could n't help myself . you know , yeah ... i tried stopping the bleeding . then i quickly realized it was hopeless , you know . so i ... i was holding meredith , and i took the gun from her hand , and i put it down . now my prints were all over it . [ chuckles ] but i just kept thinking -- you know , i just kept thinking that i did n't -- hope : you did n't want her to die alone . aiden : you know , she ... she looked up at me ... and her last words to me , to anyone ... `` i hate you . `` [ scoffs ] i just kept holding her and ... saw the light go out . just sitting there , thinking ... `` this is what it 's come to . `` you know , it 's ... it 's sad . i feel like part of me died too . ben : i 'm going to make you a promise . i promise you that i am not going to let anyone or anything ruin this for us . paige : okay , the main thing is we need to put everything that 's happened in the past and leave it there , right ? eve : absolutely . jj : definitely . paige : okay , see , we already agree on one thing . this is so good ! we 're gon na find a way to -- oh ! eve : oh , honey ! oh , my gosh , did it burn you ? paige : it 's all over my blouse . i 'm such a klutz . eve : well , you know what ? take this into the bathroom and wet it with some cold water and just sponge it out , and then i 'll take care of it when we get home , okay , sweetheart ? paige : i 'll be right back . actually , mom , can you come with me ? i want to make sure i do it right . eve : oh , uh , sure . sure , sure , sure . come on . jj : eve 's not going to say anything . i 'm not going to say anything . it 'll be fine . daniel : hey . just the guy i was looking for . aiden : hope , you , uh ... you are the only person i 've ever talked to about what happened those last few minutes . aside from the police , you 're about the only person i 've ever talked to about any of it . hope : it 's a terribly painful memory to live with . aiden : it is ... mostly because my son , you know . because meredith and i -- we just would n't , or we could n't , stop the constant battles ... it cost chase his mother . hope : how much does chase remember about that night ? aiden : oh ... very little . we moved a couple times , so there was no one around to tell him . hope : has he asked any questions ? aiden : no . never . i 'm not sure if it 's because he does n't know the right questions to ask or ... he knows that the answers would be too hard for me to give . maybe he 's the brave one , you know . maybe he 's the one protecting me all these years . he 's such a ... he 's such a good boy , you know . i just do n't know how i could let him down like that , you know . i 'm not gon na let that happen . [ sobbing ] brady : you know , daniel and chloe are doing a pretty good job with parker . you know , we could use what they do as a guide . theresa : yeah , but parker 's not in school yet . brady : right , i know , just nursery school , but ... you 're right -- things are still flexible . once he hits kindergarten , there has to be one primary parent . theresa : yeah , and there 's the whole problem with work too . brady : yeah , but i know -- i mean , i know maggie and victor , they 'll ... theresa : the whole free world 's going to be in this kid 's life , right ? brady : do n't worry about that . i wo n't let anybody push you out , theresa , okay ? we 'll do this as a team .

'cause it wo n't work . daniel : okay . maggie : [ laughs ] daniel : okay . maggie : honey , is something else bothering you ? you just seem all -- i do n't know -- out of focus today . daniel : well , you might as well know . it 's , um ... it 's about jennifer . aiden : there 's no way to sugarcoat it . meredith and i were ... well , unhappy would n't even begin to describe it . but we loved chase . so we both worked hard to keep the marriage going . maybe we should n't have . i - i do n't know . my god , the fights , you know ... neighbors on both sides of us in portland , our second home in puget sound , they could tell you how we fought ... every day ... just constantly talking about divorce . you know , never with each other , always with , you know , friend , co - worker , anyone who 'd listen , but ... it always came back to chase . neither one of us wanted to lose our son , you know , or break his heart by splitting up . you understand that all too well , i know . hope : i do . aiden : so we stuck it out ... although it became increasingly difficult . i guess we all find different ways , you know , to numb the pain . for meredith , it was alcohol ... which is why i rarely touch the stuff . i just -- i remember how it affected her , and i just became intolerant of that kind of behavior in other people , you know , this ... myself too . hope : right . aiden : and then ... at some point ... [ sighs ] i 'm not sure ... where or why ... although i can speculate why , of course ... she , um ... she had a gun . and , uh , you know , occasionally when she was drinking , she would just make these threats . you know , she was gon na take chase away . she was gon na use the gun on me . she was gon na use the gun on herself . the thing is , the ... the gun was never loaded ... until that night . my budget used to be a real downer . aiden : um ... we were on the sound that weekend . chase was sleeping . so meredith and i -- you know , we -- we got into it . i do n't remember what started it all . i do remember that ... the more we fought , the more she would be drinking and the angrier that made me . but , you know , she ... she would n't stop . just kept yelling at me , you know ... and accused me of being a bad father , bad husband , bad person . of course , the things i said to her , you know , uh ... beyond cruel . it was ugly . to say that to a woman i once loved ... she went into the bedroom ... she came out . she had a gun , you know . she started saying she was -- she was gon na kill herself . this is something she had said before to me , you know , and , uh ... but this time she started loading it in front of me . so i had to believe her . she raised the gun to her head ... and i panicked , you know . i - i - i did n't know what to do . i just said ... `` do n't . you 'll wake chase . `` that 's what i said . she had a gun to her head , and i said , `` do n't do it . you 'll wake our son . `` but the thing is ... it stopped her . it stopped her ... 'cause she ... [ exhales deeply ] she loved our son . she did . she did , but she -- she -- she hated me more ... because she put the gun back up to her head . now , this time , i jumped up to grab the gun , but she pulled back . she pulled the trigger . she shot herself . brady : i think the key to this whole thing is to take it one step at a time . theresa : right . brady : although ... if you 're pregnant , i assume you know marriage is not an option . theresa : trust me , i 'm still enough of a catholic to promise you this -- no abortion . brady : if you tried , i 'd fight you . theresa : so ... you want a child ? brady : yeah . i always have . theresa : just not like this , right ? daniel : mom ... i know jennifer means the world to you . and you have always been rooting for us to make a go of it . maggie : oh . daniel : but before she went down to see her mom for a few weeks , we had a talk . and we were both very frank , open , brutally honest . and i 'll have to admit , it is hard to accept . and i know it 's gon na be hard for you to accept too , but we decided ... it 's -- it 's over . maggie : daniel , no . come on , now , you ca n't give up . you got to give it a try . daniel : i 'm sorry . maggie : oh , honey , i 'm sorry too . i 'm sorry too .

you dismissed me . my entire marriage to ridge -- all the years i was married to him and i raised his children , your grandchildren -- it 's like all of it meant nothing . you were like a mother figure to me . you were my best friend . stephanie : i still am . taylor : you stabbed me in the back in front of the whole world . god , how could i ever trust you again ! stephanie : you want me to say that i 'm wrong ?

i just wan na move on . i need to close this chapter of my life and i need to move on . i just do n't wan na be like that , okay ? stephen : taylor , what are you saying ? taylor : i 'm giving back my 2 % . stephen : now , listen . let me talk to you one more time before -- taylor : stephen -- stephen . i 've made up my mind . ridge : hey , sweetie . i 'm fine , i 'm fine . kristen : the doctor said take it easy . ridge : any easier and i 'd be asleep . stephanie : let her fuss . eric : you 're awfully quiet , thorne . thorne : you said you wanted to talk . kristen : about the business , right ? yeah . mom , tell us how you came to this decision to give brooke 50 % of the company ? stephanie : i realize this must look like quite a turnaround . kristen : that 's an understatement . considering that you 've hated brooke for so many years . stephanie : yes . but i ca n't go back and change those . all i can try to do is try and make amends . kristen : you could try being nice . you did n't have to give her 50 % of the company . stephanie : well , i suppose that 's true . thorne : 50 % of forrester creations is a very sweet deal . eric : i thought you were okay with this ? thorne : whatever makes ridge happy . ridge : this is n't about me , thorne . thorne : since when ? ridge : brooke 's earned this . stephanie : the decision has been made . it 's a done deal . here . thorne . felicia : what is this ? stephanie : it 's your stock . ridge and eric and i have 10 % each and the three of you have 6 % each . kristen : why does thorne gets less than ridge ? thorne : i 'm okay with it , kristen . i made some bad calls with the last stock . i 'm very grateful for the 6 % , mother . felicia : so who gets the last piece of the forrester pie ? stephanie : 2 % goes to taylor since she 's part of the family . taylor : that 's such a load of bull . stephanie : taylor ? taylor : you gave me that stock to ease your own guilty conscience . but you know what ? i 'm not the one who can be bought . stephen : i just do n't get it . last night she was more than upset , she was furious . she felt lied to , betrayed . felt like everything she ever thought was real wasn't . nick : it 's understandable . stephen : you 're not even upset ? nick : can you tell me why ? exactly why did she return the sh ares ? stephen : she wanted to put it all behind her and she wanted to sever all ties . nick : though i ca n't say that i blamer her . stephen : god , that family has been getting away with murder for years ! what they did to beth and brooke and me -- it 's like we 're nothing but pawns to them ! nick : so this is about revenge for you . stephen : no , it 's justice ! it 's not about me getting back at the forresters . it 's about brooke getting what she deserves . and if stephanie and ridge get a little of what they deserve along the way -- so much the better . stephanie : taylor , come in -- taylor : and join the family ? stephanie : you are family . taylor : until something better comes along . stephanie : i was just distributing -- taylor : oh yes , divvying up the spoils . let 's do the math . we 'll say , brooke , 50 % , taylor 2 % . eric : it sounds like a very small amount to you . taylor : it is not about the money , eric . i love you guys . i love all of you . kristen : we love you , too . taylor : really ? where have you been there for me ? huh , kristen ? you know i just went through a big divorce when your brother ditched me for brooke . and i know you live thousas of miles away , but i 'm pretty sure last time i checked they have phone service down in florida . kristen : your right . you were there for me and tony , and i am sorry . thorne : taylor , she did n't know what to say . taylor : she would 've known what to say if you were going through a divorce . i thought i mattered to you people . eric : of course you matter to us , taylor . taylor : how ? how , eric ? the whole world thinks my marriage to ridge was a joke . ridge : that 's not true . eric : you have three beautiful children together . taylor : sired by ridge out of taylor the fool . what was i ? some kind of a brood mare ? yeah , just keep popping them out for king ridge . ridge : taylor , come on . taylor : what ? really . really , how am i suppose to explain to my children that their grandmother wishes she 'd never come between their father and the woman that he really loves ? eric : you 're right , taylor . we should 've been more sensitive . stephanie : honey , we love you . taylor : like you love brooke ? are any of your emotions for real ? ridge : taylor , please . taylor : do n't try to stop me ! thorne : taylor , taylor , i understand what your going through , okay ? taylor : do you ? thorne : yes . no matter what you do , it is n't good enough . taylor : oh no , that 's your cross to bear . i was plenty good enough until i decided to come clean and shatter this perfect image when i decided to confess my sins . thorne : are you really upset about the 2 % ? taylor : this has nothing to do with the money . how many times have you and darla asked me to come over to your house and have a barbecue with the kids ? it never happens . why ? why ? felicia : people get busy , taylor . taylor : yes , they do . they do , felicia . and i was there for you when you were fighting cancer . i held your hand when you found out dante was the father of your baby . where were you for me ? stephanie : felicia was fighting for her life . taylor : and i was fighting for mine ! you guys were my life ! i gave everything to you ! i thought you would always be there for me . i thought you would be there for me no matter what happened ! stephanie : we 're here . taylor : yes , again , at another family gathering i was n't invited to . stephanie : you asked me to come to your office . you threw me out when i gave you the stock . taylor : you betrayed me . stephanie : oh god , i 'm so sorry . i never wanted you to feel something like that ! eric : taylor , you 're a part of this family . taylor : this is n't a family . this is a dictatorship . all of you bowing and scraping around like a bunch of drones around the queen . felicia : taylor , stop it . taylor : so who 's gon na have your favor today ? who will it be ? wi it be your husband ? or no . no , he ca n't possibly compete with her . i better go . stephanie : if you have something to say , say it . ridge : let 's all just calm down , okay . stephanie : you wan na just finish this in private ? eric : stephanie -- stephanie : i think it 's better if everybody just goes away for a little bit . taylor and i need to talk . stephen : without taylor 's shares , we do n't stand a prayer of getting the forresters out . nick : do n't get too ahead of yourself here . brooke has n't even accepted the 50 % . this could all be for nothing . stephen : i know my daughter . running forrester creations is a dream come true for her . nick : she 's got other dreams now . stephen : yeah , well , this is an opportunity for her to finish what she started . nick : she does n't need to prove anything . stephen : except to herself . nick , brooke 's mother told me a very interesting story about her . it was about when she was in high school . she taking a chemistry midterm when she was a sophomore . she aced it , completely aced it , but a boy sitting right next to her had exactly the same answers . nick : the same answers . stephen : she got accused of cheating . of course , she 's too pretty to be smart . brooke has had to fight for everything she 's ever wanted . and she wants this , nick , and she can have it without the forresters if we can just get that 51 % . now , come on , ca n't you see it ? stephanie and eric and ridge marching out of forrster headquarters with their little bags packed ? that is a sweet image . i 'm just asking you to help me find a way to make it happen . stephanie : all right , you 're hurt and you 're angry and you want to get even . taylor : honestly , i 'd rather just go . stephanie : what is this , a hit and run ? taylor : i came to give you your stock back . stephanie : you do n't have to do that . taylor : yes i do . it 's an empty , meaningless gesture . i want no part of it . stephanie : well , if i had had any idea that this would be like rubbing salt into some old wound , i would never have done it . taylor : how could you not ? you dismissed me . my entire marriage to ridge -- all the years i was married to him and i raised his children , your grandchildren -- it 's like all of it meant nothing . you were like a mother figure to me . you were my best friend . stephanie : i still am . taylor : you stabbed me in the back in front of the whole world . god , how could i ever trust you again ! stephanie : you want me to say that i 'm wrong ? do you want me to say he has n't loved her his whole adult life ? i ca n't do that because it 's not the truth . i can see this hurts you . i know it hurts you , but this is the reality of the situation . i 've had to accept it . taylor : because ridge almost died . stephanie : yes . taylor : i know what you were really thinking . when brooke announced that she was leaving forrester and she was quitting her job , she was leaving the company for goood , you were glad . you were glad because you knew you would finally have ridge all to yourself . stephanie : all i 've ever wanted -- taylor : was for ridge to be happy . stephanie : was for all of my children to be happy . taylor : oh , come on . come on , stephanie . look , we 're all alone here . there 's nobody else . there 's just you and me . ridge has always been the center of your world , always . he 's everything to you . why ? why is that ? stephanie : you 're the psychiatrist , you tell me . taylor : you are me and i am you . that 's why you chose me to be ridge 's wife ? because we 're so much alike ? stephanie : i thought that was ridge 's decision . taylor : when he rejected me , it was like he rejected you . that hurts . that really hurts , does n't it ? to be dumped for a woman like brooke . a woman you 've hated all your life and you still hate because she has him and you don't . i feel these tingling sensations nick : stephen , you know that i love your daughter and it 's because of her that i 'd help you . but the way i see it , your plan has come down to basically one person . [ buzzer ] excuse me . yeah ? hey . how are you ? all right , fine , i 'll be there . it 's brooke . she 's made a decision . stephen : did she say what she 's going to do ? nick : she wants to tell me face to face . stephen : how 'd she sound ? nick : serious . stephen : she would n't have to choose if taylor would see things our way . nick : stephen , that ship has sailed . i suggest you let it go . excuse me . stephanie : you need help , taylor . taylor : i 'm just being honest . i thought you liked that about me . stephanie : did i not beg you , please do n't tell ridge about james . i said it was ancient history . there is nothing to be gained . taylor : except trust . stephanie : some things are better left unsaid . look , you 've made a mistake , your mistake . you 're going to have to live with it . you 've got to move on . taylor : i am moving on . stephanie : obviously not if you 're standing here obsessing about ridge . taylor : i 'm not the one obsessed . stephanie : i 'm not going to apologize for loving my son . taylor : no , no , because a mother 's love is supposed to be pure , is n't it ? something beautiful ? stephanie : i think you 'd better leave . taylor : you do realize what you 've done to your family , do n't you ? thorne 's had to live with it his whole life . nothing he ever does is good enough . it 'll never matter because he 'll live in ridge 's shadow . kristen had to move clear across the country to get away from it . felicia hops from man to man hoping to get half the attention you lavish on ridge . stephanie : taylor , i 'm warning you -- taylor : oh , and let 's just not forget poor lonely eric . the reason you have so many problems in your marriage is not because of other women . there 's no passion in your marriage because you give it all to ridge . and the only reason you allowed ridge to marry me , a woman like me , is because i 'm not a threat to you . see , i do n't have the sexual hold on him brooke does , and that 's what this whole thing boils down to . every time you saw brooke running around in her sexy , skimpy lingerie , that just drove you crazy , because you knew she was giving him something that you wish you could but you did n't dare . [ slap ] [ phone rings ] hello ? stephen : taylor , it 's stephen . i know that you told me you 're going to give your stock to stephanie , but if it 's not too late , would you give me another chance to try and convince you to keep it ? taylor : i 'm on my way home right now . i can meet you there . stephen : okay , thank you . i 'll see you there . taylor : you never should 've done that .Summarize.[/INST]at marone , nick is appalled at the newspaper headline showing a scantily clad brooke and an article on stephanie 's offer . stephen tells nick that he had dinner with taylor the night before and he outlined his plan for her to give brooke her 2 % of stock . stephen explains to nick that taylor wanted to sleep on it so he decides to call her for her decision . taylor is outside of the forrester mansion when stephen calls . taylor tells stephen that after thinking it over she wants no part of his plan for revenge and that she is going to give stephanie the stock back .</s> | 4,390 |

[ scene_break ] luke : and the house shows blackjack . tough luck . listen , if i have to call this short , it 'll only be because my wife walked in and i 'm supposed to be distraught at the moment . olivia : right . i like the way you show it . jax : yeah , luke is scamming his wife , for the greater good . olivia : i see , i see . luke : sonny . sonny : hey . luke : hi . sonny : hey , how you doing ? luke : good . sonny : a little too soon for you to be out gambling , is n't it ? olivia : what , are you my father now ? i 'm perfectly capable of taking care of myself . sonny : well , you do n't have to get so snippy . olivia : i 'm not getting snippy . just stay off my case , okay ? sonny : is it my imagination , or did you show up at my door last night looking for secret medical attention ? olivia : well , that was then , this is now . sonny : that was then , this is -- that -- that logic just hurts my head . you can leave now , jax , because i 've got to speak to luke . jax : oh , yes , i 'd love to . it 's probably mob business , you know . i want to get out of here before the bullets start flying , so -- can i take you home ? olivia : absolutely . luke : do n't forget your money . stop back any time , open or closed . we never close . olivia : i 'll take you up on that . luke : well , this better be good . i was about to take jax for a long , bumpy ride .

[ sonny laughs ] sonny : well , let me tell you , i need that kind of solid base right now . since john zacchara bought into the haunted star , looks like you and i will be partners again . [ scene_break ] johnny : you lean any further into that hallway , you 're going to fall sideways on your ass . lulu : i swear , if maxie is having sex with spinelli right now , i will tear her hair out . johnny : hey , what business is it of yours if maxie and spinelli are having sex ? lulu : because it 's not casual for spinelli . spinelli loves maxie . johnny : okay , i hate to break it to you , but real men do not object to casual sex . lulu : spinelli is different . he 's gentle and he 's kind and he 's easily hurt . and she does n't even see how gone for her he is . i mean , she 's just thinking about what spinelli can do for her next and how spinelli is going to get her out of the next mess that she 's gotten herself into . it is just so typical of her to be sleeping with spinelli and not think about how it affects him . johnny : poor spinelli . you 're right , the object of a beautiful woman 's sexual affection . my heart bleeds for him . lulu : you think maxie 's beautiful ? johnny : listen , just because i love you does n't mean i do n't have eyes in my head . lulu : i 'm not sure that i like that . johnny : okay , i hope you get over that . but hey , listen to me . even if you are right and maxie does have evil designs on spinelli , what can you do about it ? did you listen to anyone when they warned you against me ? lulu : no . johnny : did the fact that everybody thought i was a walking disaster waiting to happen make you keep your distance ? lulu : no . johnny : we had to figure it out for ourselves and decide to live with the consequences . maybe maxie and spinelli have to do the same thing . [ scene_break ] maxie : this is wrong . it 's all wrong . spinelli : what ? maxie : well , the furniture , the walls , everything . it 's not feng shui - ed enough . spinelli : does that mean that maximista has taken the jackal 's lessons on the art of interior harmony to heart ? maxie : well , i tried to read some of that stuff you gave me , but it was way too technical . and who cares about smelly history , anyway ? i need something that 's going to help me now . we ran an article about it in `` crimson . `` that kind of helped . can we move this ? spinelli : yes . allow me . maxie : okay , bring it over this way . spinelli : okay . maxie : go slowly , because i do n't know where i want it . spinelli : okay . maxie : wait , faster than that . come on , come on , come on . [ both laughing ] maxie : shh . too many sounds like that and lulu will think we 're messing around just to spite her . spinelli : well , if that is maximista 's wish , i am sure i could find it somewhere in myself to accommodate . maxie : spinelli , are you asking me to play a round of mattress tag with you ? well , i would love to . oh , think about how nuts that would drive lulu . but even that 's not a good enough reason to use you again . spinelli : but i feel like i have to correct a false assumption about `` being used `` as you so frequently say . i -- i never felt that way . in fact , i was and i am so honored that you chose me in your hour of need . maxie : spinelli , that 's exactly the kind of unselfish thing i would expect you to say , because you care about me , the real me , who i am inside . i 'm not just some potential hookup to you . [ scene_break ] jax : you okay ? olivia : yeah , i had a little accident . i 'm not quite recovered from it . jax : really ? what kind of accident ? olivia : i slipped in the shower . jax : oh . something tells me you got sucked into some mob violence , which would explain sonny 's concern . olivia : you do n't like him , do you ? jax : that 's an understatement . olivia : was that something specific or just a natural aversion ? jax : well , let 's just say that sonny and i found ourselves on opposite sides of mutual interests more than once . olivia : yeah , i 'll bet . jax : that and he 's a career criminal who likes to paint himself as the victim , so that women fall for him . some get hurt , some die . olivia : that and you 're jealous because carly still has feelings for him and you want her all to yourself . [ scene_break ] sonny : kate was shot on our wedding day on the altar , right in front of my face . luke : my god , that 's awful . sonny : instead of , you know , walking out of the church husband and wife , we went out in an ambulance , blood on my hands . at first i thought it was karpov who shot her , but it was n't . eventually , he stabbed me , put weights on my ankles , and threw me in the water , left me to drown . so , i killed him and the russian syndicate retaliated . luke : all over jason , from what i hear . sonny : beat up mike , burned down kelly 's , which whatever it costs , i will pay for all the damages . luke : yeah , well , i appreciate that . my sister really wants to reopen there . now look , sonny , you know how i feel about mob politics , being taken care of -- sonny : i totally , totally understand . look , i ca n't speak for jason , because he chose to do this alone . he does n't want me back in the organization . luke : because he thinks that 's an open door for zacchara . sonny : anthony gave me total control of the business . i just had to marry claudia . luke : well , ha ha . i wonder who got the better part of that deal ? sonny : well , let me tell you something . i do n't love the deal , but it does give me some power , and i just do n't want to see anybody else get hurt . and you know what ? it gives me access from both sides . luke : right , and it also puts you in a position to find out if the zaccharas were behind the hit on kate . sonny : you know , it 's like -- that 's what i 've always liked about you . i do n't need to explain myself , because you already know the answer . luke : you know , conflict with jason is inevitable at some point . sonny : yeah , look , i just wanted to tell you this in person , because whatever happens with what i 'm doing , i just -- i want you to know that you are under no pressure from the zacchara organization . luke : thanks . that 's a relief . i 've got problems of my own right now . [ scene_break ] claudia : well , you 've had a couple of bad weeks . have n't you ? i mean , first sonny kills karpov and then the russians come after you and they torch your house and your business and your shipping yards . they go after your girlfriend 's kid . by the way , you should know , the entire time that jake was being held hostage , sonny completely suspended all business activity , all . he did n't want to take the risk of aggravating the russians and jake getting hurt . jason : i 'd expect nothing less . claudia : well , he 'd just taken over my family business . i mean , he was newly in power . so , his compassion could really be interpreted as weakness . he made a big sacrifice for you . it was a big risk . jason : i 'm grateful . claudia : of course , now he is going to have to step up and take the reins and lead . jason : you mean , against me ? [ scene_break ] lulu : oh , sorry . not to sound so whiny like maxie , but this couch is just awful . what ? what is this ? johnny : that 's a new couch . it 's my contribution to the household . lulu : where did you get this ? johnny : it 's the deposit money that jax refunded for the apartment . lulu : so , this is all the money that you have in the world ? johnny : yeah , well , there 's my car . lulu : oh my gosh , you are so cute . you 've never had to economize , have you ? johnny : not really , no . lulu : oh , well , in the real world , we usually save the cash that we make , and we do n't blow it on couches . we use it for essentials like food and water . johnny : okay , sounds like a good plan . now all i need is a job . lulu : well , you can look tomorrow . johnny : yeah , i will . for all the good that it 'll do . lulu : discouraged already ? johnny : no , i 'm just realistic . who 's going to hire a guy with a high school diploma and the same last name as a feared and loathed mobster ? lulu : people will see how smart and capable you are , and you 'll be just fine . johnny : you would n't be biased , would you ? lulu : who , me ? maxie : god , you guys , get a room . lulu : oh , we already have one . i would n't mind going there . would you ? johnny : no . maxie : we have a deal . lulu : yeah , johnny and i did not agree to any deal . maxie : do you want this to turn into a full blown war , because i 'm ready . spinelli : actually , you know what ? i just forgot i have my housewarming gift . maxie : i like presents that look like this . you got us rocks ? spinelli : it 's a zen garden . it promotes peace and harmony in your new environs . perhaps we should put it in the most effective space as soon as possible .
