[ chuckles ] steffy : wait . does this mean my marriage is n't legal ? liam : i do n't think so . i mean , i -- i really do n't think so . i -- i got this feeling . steffy , i have a feeling that things are finally gon na turn around for us . and come on , i mean , we -- we were always meant to be together , right ? it 's just we had terrible luck , like -- like , really terrible luck . like , the worst luck . just one obstacle after another . and yet , every time , we would find our way back to each other . and you know why ? because what we have is real . and it does n't actually matter what or who gets in our way . yeah , this time , it was quinn , right ? if she had n't taken me hostage , if i had been around , we would have resolved whatever issue you say that we were having at the time , and there 's no way , not a chance in hell you would have married wyatt . you know that 's true . look , maybe -- maybe what happened tonight goes deeper than a minister with criminal tendencies . maybe he 's not a minister at all . and if that is the case -- if it 's the case -- then you have an out . you can -- you can come back to me . i mean , i -- i know you have feelings for wyatt . i know that . but they do n't compare . they do n't even compare to what you feel for me . steffy : [ scoffs ] we still do n't know for sure . liam : i do . i know it . i know it . i know it . i know it because we did not come all this way for you to end up married to my brother . that 's a fact . i am yours , just like you 're mine . this marriage to wyatt ca n't be legal . wyatt : a valid marriage certificate should n't be that hard to find , right ? bill : emmy 's on the case , wyatt . it has n't been that long . you got to relax . listen , before we leave this building tonight , you 're gon na know where you stand . wyatt : yeah , but ... do i really want to ? i mean , what if i find out that our marriage is n't valid ? i ... i could lose her , dad . bill : not necessarily . you and steffy have a solid relationship . wyatt : yeah , the best i 've ever had . i mean , i -- i 'm a better match for her than liam is . and ... look , i 'm not stupid . i know that she has a blind spot for the guy . and do n't think liam would n't be taking advantage of this situation , all right ? i know i would . some people say that i already have . bill : steffy chose to marry you . wyatt : yeah . and you know what ? she 'd choose it again , too , if she had to , 'cause we 're a family now , permanently . so , is that it ? look , i need to know . | wyatt is aghast . this man who broke into liam 's house is the one who married him and steffy . wyatt says he should have done more research . the guy says it was a beautiful wedding . and he 's fell on hard times and just trying to get by . he picked the wrong house . while lt . baker eats his usual hotdog , the reverend rydale sniffs around and wonders if the lieutenant might share the rest in his bag . baker tells him he could wait back in his cell but no he chose to come out here in baker 's office , so lay off . thomas talks to steffy but does not want to talk about him and ridge , but how she is and her marriage working out . he knows things have changed now that liam is back . she and wyatt may be together but she and liam had something special . he does not believe she can forget that . steffy said she should have listened more about quinn . but she is so good at being contrite and they all believe it . the good heart of quinn is going to win out over the insanity . now her whole life has been changed and she can not stand quinn . that 's the only thing she would changed about her marriage . she loves liam and always will but she did not stand on that beach and say words she did not mean . she will honor those vows . | <s>[INST] wyatt : i ca n't believe it . reverend rydale : so ... married life treating you well , wyatt ? liam : hold on a second . this guy , who broke into my house , he -- wyatt : he 's the minister who married steffy and me , yes . thomas : am i interrupting ? hopefully , you and wyatt are n't doing anything i might have nightmares about , right ? steffy : no , he 's not here . thomas : good . good . it 's just us . steffy : so , you just dropping by , or did i forget something ? thomas : no . no , no , no . i had dinner nearby , and i wanted to take my chances , come see you , and get some sister time . steffy : ohh ! thomas : yeah . steffy : i love that . so , how 's everything going over at the big house ? thomas : [ sighs ] uh ... interesting . steffy : inter -- ooh . thomas : yeah . steffy : that 's cryptic . thomas : do you think i look fat in this suit ? steffy : yes , you look so fat . thomas : thank you . steffy : so , so fat . no ! what , are you -- are you gaining weight ? thomas : yeah , i 'm trying to . i want to look like superman in a few days . also , eating out a lot and , uh , [ sighs ] having a tough time at the house . steffy : what 's going on with you and dad this time ?

[ thud ] that 's my girl emmy . steffy : are you sure about this ? liam : oh , yeah ! no , wyatt id 'd him . actually , he did n't even have to i.d . him . rydale , right ? that 's the guy 's name ? as soon as he saw wyatt , he started speaking up . he was like , `` hey , dude , how 's married life ? `` steffy : so , a reverend robbed you ? liam : yeah . steffy : that does n't make any sense . liam : i do n't know . i do n't know . he 's a shady guy . he fell on hard times . he -- where did you find him , by the way ? steffy : [ sighs ] wyatt found him online , on one of those review sites . liam : huh . well , either way , looks like things are gon na change -- this time , in our favor . [ chuckles ] steffy : wait . does this mean my marriage is n't legal ? liam : i do n't think so . i mean , i -- i really do n't think so . i -- i got this feeling . steffy , i have a feeling that things are finally gon na turn around for us . and come on , i mean , we -- we were always meant to be together , right ? it 's just we had terrible luck , like -- like , really terrible luck . like , the worst luck . just one obstacle after another . and yet , every time , we would find our way back to each other . and you know why ? because what we have is real . and it does n't actually matter what or who gets in our way . yeah , this time , it was quinn , right ? if she had n't taken me hostage , if i had been around , we would have resolved whatever issue you say that we were having at the time , and there 's no way , not a chance in hell you would have married wyatt . you know that 's true . look , maybe -- maybe what happened tonight goes deeper than a minister with criminal tendencies . maybe he 's not a minister at all . and if that is the case -- if it 's the case -- then you have an out . you can -- you can come back to me . i mean , i -- i know you have feelings for wyatt . i know that . but they do n't compare . they do n't even compare to what you feel for me . steffy : [ scoffs ] we still do n't know for sure . liam : i do . i know it . i know it . i know it . i know it because we did not come all this way for you to end up married to my brother . that 's a fact . i am yours , just like you 're mine . this marriage to wyatt ca n't be legal . wyatt : a valid marriage certificate should n't be that hard to find , right ? bill : emmy 's on the case , wyatt . it has n't been that long . you got to relax . listen , before we leave this building tonight , you 're gon na know where you stand . wyatt : yeah , but ... do i really want to ? i mean , what if i find out that our marriage is n't valid ? i ... i could lose her , dad . bill : not necessarily . you and steffy have a solid relationship . wyatt : yeah , the best i 've ever had . i mean , i -- i 'm a better match for her than liam is . and ... look , i 'm not stupid . i know that she has a blind spot for the guy . and do n't think liam would n't be taking advantage of this situation , all right ? i know i would . some people say that i already have . bill : steffy chose to marry you . wyatt : yeah . and you know what ? she 'd choose it again , too , if she had to , 'cause we 're a family now , permanently . so , is that it ? look , i need to know .Summarize.[/INST]wyatt is aghast . this man who broke into liam 's house is the one who married him and steffy . wyatt says he should have done more research . the guy says it was a beautiful wedding . and he 's fell on hard times and just trying to get by . he picked the wrong house . while lt . baker eats his usual hotdog , the reverend rydale sniffs around and wonders if the lieutenant might share the rest in his bag . baker tells him he could wait back in his cell but no he chose to come out here in baker 's office , so lay off . thomas talks to steffy but does not want to talk about him and ridge , but how she is and her marriage working out . he knows things have changed now that liam is back . she and wyatt may be together but she and liam had something special . he does not believe she can forget that . steffy said she should have listened more about quinn . but she is so good at being contrite and they all believe it . the good heart of quinn is going to win out over the insanity . now her whole life has been changed and she can not stand quinn . that 's the only thing she would changed about her marriage . she loves liam and always will but she did not stand on that beach and say words she did not mean . she will honor those vows .</s> | 4,550 |

[ clears throat ] [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] lucas : so you and mike broke up ? i just ca n't believe that . what , did you guys get separated or something ? carrie : we wo n't be getting back together . lucas : everybody thought you guys were the perfect couple . carrie : well , not quite everyone . lucas : yeah , well , i mean , not austin , of course . i mean , the way you were willing to break up your marriage with him and run off with mike to israel . carrie : i know , and i thought it was gon na last forever , too , but things did n't work out the way i thought they would . lucas : yeah , who do they work out for ? carrie : maybe people who are n't so impulsive . people who do n't hurt someone else while trying to find happiness ? lucas : what , you do n't think god 's trying to punish you in some weird way , do you ? carrie : i just do n't think i had enough respect for myself ... for austin , for mike , either . and because so many lives got messed up so i could go ride off on a white horse with mike , literally , it put a lot of pressure on me to have this perfect relationship . lucas : nobody has that . carrie : i was so naive . i went to the other side of the world with a doctor who is intensely committed to his work , and then i was surprised when i ended up feeling lonely and isolated . one night , we finally went to dinner , and we looked at each other and we said , `` you know what ? this is n't working . `` so we called it quits . lucas : that 's it ? it was just `` bam , `` and it was over ? carrie : we both knew it was time to move on . lucas : i 'm sorry , okay , carrie ? i 'm really sorry about that . carrie : we 're still friends . i know that 's a cliché , but it 's true for us . we e - mail all the time . and one good thing -- mike has more time to spend with his son . i mean , jeremy was the whole point behind the move to israel in the first place . [ sighs ] so ... that 's how the fairy tale crumbles . lucas : tell me about it . carrie : i heard about you and sami . lucas : yeah , i know . do n't say it . i know what you 're gon na say . it was me . it was my fault . i was stupid enough to think that sami had changed . carrie : you loved her , lucas . she was the stupid one . [ scene_break ] kate : hey , sweetheart . philip : hey . kate : i brought you a special visitor -- you and the baby . philip : hi , dad . victor : hello , son . how 's my loveliest granddaughter ? philip : she 's hanging in there , i guess . victor : that 's because of her greek heritage . she comes from a long line of warriors . philip : yeah . kate : hey , mimi , why do n't we give them some privacy ? mimi : okay . philip : the doctors are treating her pretty aggressively , so , you know , i 'm trying to stay hopeful . victor : how 's belle holding up ? philip : she was getting better . it seemed like she was starting to feel happier , but , dad , this postpartum depression has been really hard , really , on all three of us . and now i 'm worried if something happens to the baby , that ... i do n't know . victor : you know , we almost lost you several times before you were born . philip : mom never told me that . victor : it was terrifying , but each time , you came back stronger . i like to think it 's because of the love that you felt from your natural parents . you know , kate and i may have our differences now , but we both love you very much . and maybe it 's because the fact that we almost lost you ... just as you and belle will treasure this little life that you 've created . [ scene_break ] kate : life has been such a roller coaster recently that i never really had a chance to tell you how sorry i was about you and rex . mimi : really ? i always thought you thought i was n't good enough for him . kate : oh , come on , mimi . mothers are always protective of their sons . i mean , you 'll find that out someday if you have a son . mimi : i ca n't have children , kate , but you know what ? it was swell talking to you . kate : hey , hey , hey . wait a minute , wait a minute . i 'm sorry . you know , i totally forgot about your situation . i 've been so wrapped up in this whole thing with the baby . would you forgive me ? mimi : whatever . kate : can i tell you something ? mimi : i 'm sure you will anyway , so go ahead . kate : look , i -- i think the reason for your breakup with rex ... i think it really went beyond the abortion . i think it was deeper than that . i do n't think that rex was your soul mate ... not the way that shawn is . i 've watched the two of you together , and it 's pretty clear to me . you and shawn were meant to be together . [ scene_break ] jennifer : listen to me . jack 's body was not -- it was n't found in the car , all right ? you sent down the robotic arm . you had divers go down there . bo , you went down there . billie and patrick did n't find him downstream . he 's nowhere . people do n't disappear like that . [ cellphone rings ] hope : excuse me . jennifer : they do n't disappear , and when they do , they come back . jack always comes back . hope : hello . all right , um ... just give me a minute , okay , and i 'll call you right back . i 'll see what i can do . okay , thanks . the babysitter has to leave . bo : i did n't realize it was so late . hope : no , neither did i . maybe she can spend the night . i mean , zach 's already asleep . jennifer : no , hope , no . listen , you guys go home . you 're probably exhausted . i 'm fine . i 'll see if frankie will stay here with me till jack gets back . bo : okay . jennifer : thank you . hope : hey , sweetie . jennifer : bye . thank you . hope : i 'll give you a call first thing in the morning , okay ? jennifer : okay . here , i 'll walk you out . come on . [ scene_break ] patrick : it 's tearing me up knowing what jen 's gon na go through when she accepts the truth . billie : maybe it 's not the truth . maybe jennifer 's right -- jack 's not dead . patrick : there 's no way he got out of that car alive , billie . billie : listen , i have never told anyone else this . patrick : what ? what ? billie : but jack wanted to kill himself to save jennifer and abby the pain of dying a slow , agonizing death . patrick : wait , i do n't get it . are you telling me that jack would just leave jennifer -- leave his whole family -- when he knew he had more time with them ? i do n't care how much pain he was in . jennifer 's the kind of woman that would want to be there for her husband . billie : all i can tell you is that jack -- jack could have staged this . he could have staged the whole accident just so that he could disappear . jennifer : what are you talking about ? [ scene_break ] nicole : barry , thanks for getting back to me so soon . you 're a doll . can you hang on just a second ? okay . sami , i need the financial projections . they 're in my room . sami : ugh , nicole , i am studying the dossier . i have a quiz , remember ? nicole : i am on the phone with our accountant . get me the projections . sami : nicole , i am not your secretary . you have legs . get them yourself . nicole : barry [ clears throat ] will you just hang on a second ? i have the file .

[ scene_break ] carrie : how many weddings does that make for sami ? lucas : uh , i think just one . she was married to brandon for about an hour , and then he dumped her . but i ca n't count how many times she was left at the altar . carrie : i ca n't feel sorry for her . lucas : well , no one would expect you to . carrie : we 're sisters . i should have some sort of warm feelings towards her , but what 's that they say ? too much blood under the bridge . lucas : yeah , too much blood -- for you and me both . carrie : and i 'm not sorry for you , either , lucas . i know you probably thought true love would turn sami into a good woman , but -- lucas : hey , you know what ? maybe i do n't deserve a good woman after everything i 've pulled in my life . carrie : i 'm no saint , either , but most normal people learn from their mistakes ... everyone but sami . i 'm glad you realized how selfish and manipulative she can be before you said , `` i do . `` lucas : hmm . carrie : how 's will taking it ? lucas : [ sighs ] not so good at first . you know , the poor kid 's parents never lived together , and half the time , we do n't even talk , so for him , it 's not an ideal situation for growing up , but what are you gon na do ? nobody 's life is perfect . carrie : i thought mine was . but i guess after what i did to austin , i deserve what happened . lucas : wait a minute , that was n't your fault . carrie : i feel like a failure . lucas : is that why it 's taken you so long to come back home ? carrie : that and ... lucas : well , yeah , sami , of course . right . carrie : i just ca n't deal with all that drama again . anyhow , it 's been so great catching up with you . i forgot to ask you what you 're doing here anyway . lucas : right . i 'm , uh , i 'm actually working for titan again . i 'm working with victor . carrie : oh , cool . lucas : yeah , and i just ca n't believe , with all the research i did on this company , i did n't realize you were the c.e.o . carrie : and you 're doing research because ... lucas : uh , we 're actually looking at this company as a -- as a possible buyout . carrie : buyout ? as in takeover ? [ chuckles ] sorry , lucas , um , i like you and all , but my company is not for sale . lucas : the companies titan goes after usually are n't . carrie : tell victor not to even think about it . this company is my baby . and i 'm here because i believe in the product line , and i intend to not let anyone take it over -- not victor and not you , either , lucas . lucas : i totally understand . that 's fine . i 'll just , uh -- i 'll explain it to victor . i 'll tell him that the company is n't as ripe for takeover as we originally thought . carrie : thank you . lucas : yeah . i would never hurt you . uh ... you 've always meant a lot to me ... ever since i can remember . carrie : so i heard your brother 's back in salem . lucas : yeah . yeah , well , which brother 's that ? i got a lot of those . carrie : you know which one i mean . austin -- how is he ?

[ scene_break ] frankie : i put on a pot of coffee . jennifer : the two of you think that my husband faked his death ? what are you talking about ? why would he do that ? my husband -- he loves me more than he loves his own life . he would never abandon me and our children unless god was ready to take him . billie : i know . i know , jen , but a part of him was so worried about you and abby having to watch him die . he just -- he talked to me about it once , that 's all . jennifer : talked about what ? billie : nothing . nothing . forget i said anything . jennifer : billie , what did you and jack talk about that i do n't know about ? billie : jen , come on . jennifer : no , she 's not leaving until she tells me . what did the two of you talk about ? billie : he was looking for ways to end his life ... jennifer : what ? ! billie : ... before the really bad part of the illness kicked in . he did n't want you to see him in agony . he was doing it to protect you . jennifer : protect me ? i 'm his wife ! i -- i do n't even believe you . if this was on jack 's mind , why would n't he tell me ? billie : he said he could n't . jennifer : why ? why not , billie ? billie : because ... you were the only person who could talk him out of it .. jennifer : why did n't you tell me this ? billie : jack made me promise not to . he made me . hell , he wanted me to help him do it , and i said i would n't , okay ? there have to be limits , and that was mine . but a part of me understands what he was going through . i worked with a guy at the isa who came down with the exact same disorder that jack had -- has . and in the end , it was extremely hard for his family to watch him go through it . jennifer : you want to know what i think ? i think this is just utterly the most unreal story i have ever heard in my life . my husband would never abandon me or our children . he would hang in there till the end , billie ! i 'm his wife , and i know that . and i 'm gon na say it again unless you show me his dead body ! as far as i 'm concerned , as far as my family is concerned , he is alive !

[ inhales deeply , coughs ] okay , this is not gon na work , nicole . this is a huge mistake . nicole : no , it 's not . ooh . austin , are you going somewhere ? austin : i 'm gon na have a drink with a potential investor . nicole : oh , is she blond ? austin : [ chuckles ] i have enough blondes in my life , thank you very much . sami : austin , are you going on a date ? austin : mickey set up a meeting with me with a potential investor . you know , we could really use that right now -- someone to buy into our company . look , i wo n't be gone long , so please , you two play nice . nicole : okay , i 'll rework the `` break even `` analysis . austin : great . oh , um ... please , read up on the skin - care line . i 'll quiz you later . sami : what do you mean , you 'll quiz me later ? austin : do n't take it like that . it 's not that big of a deal , but you 've been out of the business world for quite some time , and answering phones at the hospital and being a glorified gopher for john and my mother at basic black is not exactly great preparation for what we 're doing here . sami : yeah , and i was n't exactly glorified , either . austin : well , whatever , just study the stats . quiz you later . wish me luck . nicole : good luck . sami : good luck . nicole : hmm . sami : `` oh , i 'll rework everything for you later . `` nicole : hey , i 'm a businesswoman . you 're a wannabe . you 're lucky austin 's giving you a chance . [ chuckles ] sami : hmm . yes , our company does not believe in animal testing , but we have no moral qualms about testing our chemicals on slutty murderesses . nicole : [ whimpers ] please do n't test your products on me . i 'll do anything . just please do n't . sami : so , you promise to quit austin 's company and stay out of my way ? nicole : [ growls ] not on your life . i lost brady because you would n't help me . i 'm going after austin all for myself . sami : well , then , i 'll just have to continue with the research experiment . i ca n't wait to find out what this chemical does to the skin . nicole : [ gasps ] ooh . sami : i think this is gon na make what you did to chloe look like a beauty treatment , nicole . nicole : [ gasps ] no ! [ screaming ] i 'm melting ! sami : eureka . i have found the right formula at last . sami : [ laughs ] nicole : what 's so damn funny ? sami : [ clears throat ] nothing . nothing , i just am getting excited about this company , that 's all . [ clears throat ] [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] lucas : so you and mike broke up ? i just ca n't believe that . what , did you guys get separated or something ? carrie : we wo n't be getting back together . lucas : everybody thought you guys were the perfect couple . carrie : well , not quite everyone . lucas : yeah , well , i mean , not austin , of course . i mean , the way you were willing to break up your marriage with him and run off with mike to israel . carrie : i know , and i thought it was gon na last forever , too , but things did n't work out the way i thought they would . lucas : yeah , who do they work out for ? carrie : maybe people who are n't so impulsive . people who do n't hurt someone else while trying to find happiness ? lucas : what , you do n't think god 's trying to punish you in some weird way , do you ? carrie : i just do n't think i had enough respect for myself ... for austin , for mike , either . and because so many lives got messed up so i could go ride off on a white horse with mike , literally , it put a lot of pressure on me to have this perfect relationship . lucas : nobody has that . carrie : i was so naive . i went to the other side of the world with a doctor who is intensely committed to his work , and then i was surprised when i ended up feeling lonely and isolated . one night , we finally went to dinner , and we looked at each other and we said , `` you know what ? this is n't working . `` so we called it quits . lucas : that 's it ? it was just `` bam , `` and it was over ? carrie : we both knew it was time to move on . lucas : i 'm sorry , okay , carrie ? i 'm really sorry about that . carrie : we 're still friends . i know that 's a cliché , but it 's true for us . we e - mail all the time . and one good thing -- mike has more time to spend with his son . i mean , jeremy was the whole point behind the move to israel in the first place . [ sighs ] so ... that 's how the fairy tale crumbles . lucas : tell me about it . carrie : i heard about you and sami . lucas : yeah , i know . do n't say it . i know what you 're gon na say . it was me . it was my fault . i was stupid enough to think that sami had changed . carrie : you loved her , lucas . she was the stupid one .

[ scene_break ] kate : life has been such a roller coaster recently that i never really had a chance to tell you how sorry i was about you and rex . mimi : really ? i always thought you thought i was n't good enough for him . kate : oh , come on , mimi . mothers are always protective of their sons . i mean , you 'll find that out someday if you have a son . mimi : i ca n't have children , kate , but you know what ? it was swell talking to you . kate : hey , hey , hey . wait a minute , wait a minute . i 'm sorry . you know , i totally forgot about your situation . i 've been so wrapped up in this whole thing with the baby . would you forgive me ? mimi : whatever . kate : can i tell you something ? mimi : i 'm sure you will anyway , so go ahead . kate : look , i -- i think the reason for your breakup with rex ... i think it really went beyond the abortion . i think it was deeper than that . i do n't think that rex was your soul mate ... not the way that shawn is . i 've watched the two of you together , and it 's pretty clear to me . you and shawn were meant to be together . [ scene_break ] jennifer : listen to me . jack 's body was not -- it was n't found in the car , all right ? you sent down the robotic arm . you had divers go down there . bo , you went down there . billie and patrick did n't find him downstream . he 's nowhere . people do n't disappear like that .

[ scene_break ] ridge : i 'm through waiting for dad to come to his senses . steffy : does n't sound like he ever will , at least not where rick 's concerned . ridge : [ sighs ] we got to try to get some dignity back in this company . and if i do n't stand up to rick , who will ? steffy : it 's got to be you . ridge : no , it 's -- it 's got to be us . caroline and i will be doing the designing , and you can help run the company . it 's time . we got to take forrester back . from here on in , we call the shots .

[ scene_break ] alexis : my motivation for taking kristina is very simple . i wanted to keep her safe from the violence that surrounds her father . jordan : why did n't you leave it to the courts ? because you panicked , did n't you , ms. davis ? you realized that mr. corinthos had a strong case and that he was going to be given access to his daughter , so you took the law into your own hands . alexis : no , i did n't . i considered it , and then i thought better . jordan : your husband , an attorney , district attorney lansing , had my client dragged from the court in handcuffs , yet no charges were filed , and he was released later that day . alexis : only because the evidence was obtained illegally . jordan : mr. lansing was grandstanding . he abused the power of his office to fabricate charges against my client intentionally to undermine him . ric : objection , your honor . judge : sustained . ms. baines , ask questions , do n't make speeches . jordan : ok . ahem . would you say that one of your goals as a parent is to keep kristina from being raised by dangerous people ? alexis : yes . jordan : can you describe `` dangerous `` for me ? alexis : violent , unpredictable , acting outside the law . jordan : for example , a murderer ? alexis : i was found innocent . jordan : by reason of insanity , am i correct ? alexis : yes . jordan : and would you consider stabbing a man to death an act of violence ? alexis : yes . jordan : you acted as counsel for the defense when brenda barrett and jason morgan were tried for your victim 's murder , tried for your crime , and you withheld information vital to their defense , namely that you , in fact , were the killer . do you think that is acting outside the law ? alexis : i think that you are manipulating -- jordan : yes or no ? alexis : the facts of the case . jordan : yes or no ? alexis : yes , ms. baines . jordan : you have repeatedly described my client as a dangerous parent , and yet , by your own criteria , you are more dangerous than mr. corinthos . alexis : this is n't about semantics . this is about a little girl 's life . you do n't send a little girl out into a combat zone , you do n't expose her to gunfire , and you do n't ask her mother to send her off to live with a man -- father or not -- when she could be killed merely by standing next to him ! she 's 2 years old ! she 's intelligent , beautiful , and she has her whole life ahead of her . and that man could get her killed . ric : your honor ? i 'd like to recall sonny corinthos to the stand .

[ scene_break ] ric : ms. davis , will you describe for the court what happened when you went to visit your daughter at general hospital yesterday ? alexis : i took her out of the hospital and i planned to leave the country . ric : were you aware that removing kristina this way violated the provisional custody agreement ? alexis : yes , i was . ric : and yet you were willing to risk the consequences . why ? alexis : to keep her safe . my nephew had just been admitted to the e.r . yesterday . he was near death from one single gunshot wound . it brought closer the reality that this is an everyday occurrence in mr. corinthos ' world . jordan : objection , your honor . ms. davis ' nephew is a confessed murderer , and he was shot while trying to escape police . there is no connection between his injuries and my client , except in ms. davis ' imagination . judge : sustained . ric : your honor , the respondent is prepared to offer testimony which speaks directly to the physical jeopardy which surrounds mr. corinthos every day . judge : proceed . ric : thank you , your honor . ms. davis , have you ever been a target of gunfire while in the proximity of mr. corinthos ? alexis : on december 24 , 2000 , i was walking out of the port charles police department with mr. corinthos , emily quartermaine , and zander smith . two gunmen approached mr. corinthos with the intention of killing him . they opened fire with automatic weapons , and he was shot three times and left for dead . ric : and do you have reason to believe that mr. corinthos could once again be the target of gunfire ? alexis : yes , i do . he 's been hospitalized two more times for gunshot wounds since that incident . ric : so you 've given careful consideration to what might happen to kristina if she were with her father the next time somebody tried to gun him down ? jordan : objection . counsel is deliberately using inflammatory language and calling for conjecture on the part of the witness . judge : sustained . mr. lansing , move it along . ric : ms. davis , you love your daughter very much , do n't you ? alexis : yes , i do . i 'm her mother . i 'm the center of her universe . and i -- i do n't mean that as a boast . it 's a statement of fact . when she 's frightened , she needs me to hold her . when she 's tired , she needs me to sing to her . when she 's hurt , she needs me to kiss it and make it better . we 're very bonded , but we 're not enmeshed . i go to work , i leave her , and she may not even miss me , and -- and i do n't want her to . i do n't want her to become over dependent on me . i want her to go out and explore the world and trust other people . but i do know that when she sees me again after having been separated , she 's happy . if she 's taken away from me , it will shatter her faith in the world as a safe place , and it will destroy her trust that love -- that my love is constant . she 's too little to have her heart broken . she 's too little to be frightened . yes , i love my daughter . which is why i want her to remain in the home that she knows , in a place that she thinks is safe , where she has her mother . ric : thank you , ms. davis . i have nothing further . jordan : ms. davis , i just want to be clear . you would rather raise your daughter as a fugitive than allow her access to her father who loves her , who saved her life ? [ scene_break ] lorenzo : am i going to see you again ? lois : it 's possible . lorenzo : i do n't want to make assumptions or take you for granted . i do n't want to mislead you either . lois : you know , the more i get to know you ; the more complex you seem ? it 's obvious that you can deeply love , but it 's also obvious that when that love goes wrong for whatever reason , you shut down , turn cold , get distant , even get harsh if that 's what it takes to scare people away . but there 's just one problem . lorenzo : oh , only one ? lois : i do n't scare easily . and that person that you are underneath ? i want to know that guy a little better . lorenzo : you know , you have a very generous nature . lois : i like to think that i 'm a good judge of people . and i happen to think i 'm right about you . lorenzo : well , i will do my best to justify your faith . lois : now you 're talking .

[ scene_break ] alexis : my motivation for taking kristina is very simple . i wanted to keep her safe from the violence that surrounds her father . jordan : why did n't you leave it to the courts ? because you panicked , did n't you , ms. davis ? you realized that mr. corinthos had a strong case and that he was going to be given access to his daughter , so you took the law into your own hands . alexis : no , i did n't . i considered it , and then i thought better . jordan : your husband , an attorney , district attorney lansing , had my client dragged from the court in handcuffs , yet no charges were filed , and he was released later that day . alexis : only because the evidence was obtained illegally . jordan : mr. lansing was grandstanding . he abused the power of his office to fabricate charges against my client intentionally to undermine him . ric : objection , your honor . judge : sustained . ms. baines , ask questions , do n't make speeches . jordan : ok . ahem . would you say that one of your goals as a parent is to keep kristina from being raised by dangerous people ? alexis : yes . jordan : can you describe `` dangerous `` for me ? alexis : violent , unpredictable , acting outside the law . jordan : for example , a murderer ? alexis : i was found innocent . jordan : by reason of insanity , am i correct ? alexis : yes . jordan : and would you consider stabbing a man to death an act of violence ? alexis : yes . jordan : you acted as counsel for the defense when brenda barrett and jason morgan were tried for your victim 's murder , tried for your crime , and you withheld information vital to their defense , namely that you , in fact , were the killer . do you think that is acting outside the law ? alexis : i think that you are manipulating -- jordan : yes or no ? alexis : the facts of the case . jordan : yes or no ? alexis : yes , ms. baines . jordan : you have repeatedly described my client as a dangerous parent , and yet , by your own criteria , you are more dangerous than mr. corinthos . alexis : this is n't about semantics . this is about a little girl 's life . you do n't send a little girl out into a combat zone , you do n't expose her to gunfire , and you do n't ask her mother to send her off to live with a man -- father or not -- when she could be killed merely by standing next to him ! she 's 2 years old ! she 's intelligent , beautiful , and she has her whole life ahead of her . and that man could get her killed . ric : your honor ? i 'd like to recall sonny corinthos to the stand .

lucas : who else could it have been ? who else ? but i never would have done that , ever ! i never would have done that . chloe : well , i do n't -- maybe you were so bombed , you thought you were with adrienne . lucas : no , no ! no , i mean -- maybe , okay ? maybe it 's possible , maybe . but that does n't explain how she ended up dead ! chloe : i hate to say this , but it looks like you had sex with anjelica because you thought she was adrienne . lucas : oh , i do n't feel good all of a sudden . oh , god . chloe : well , what was she doing in adrienne 's room ? lucas : i do n't know . i - i - i do n't know . i - i - i ran into her a couple days ago , and -- and she was trying to make a truce with adrienne . she was looking for her . chloe : okay , so , what , last night , you came here waiting for adrienne and then she came here to see her ? lucas : what , and then we just did the deed like that ? we would n't do that . come on , she hates me just as much as i hate her . chloe : i do n't know . maybe you were so drunk , you did n't know what you were doing . and maybe she was n't really looking for a truce . lucas : i do n't know . i mean , i do n't know . that does sound like her , i guess , but -- chloe : yeah , so she wanted to stick it to adrienne by having you stick it to her . lucas : well , she got stuck with the short end of the stick . chloe : seriously , i do n't think that there 's any way around this . we 're gon na have to call the police . lucas : no , no ! no , no ! no , no ! no . no , no , no , no , no . no , no , no . we ca n't do that . hattie : it 's your lucky day . andre : why ? hattie : i 've decided to help you . andre : and why are you doing that ? hattie : well , i think i owe it to the world to -- to help decide if you really are becoming a more decent person . andre : ah . hattie : so i will do your evaluation . andre : ah , that -- and what do you get out of that ? hattie : well , i - i just do n't like the idea of -- of kate playing ... roman the way she is , and we both know that 's what she 's doing . andre : oh . what i do n't understand is , um , you doing me this favor , how that would impact kate and roman . hattie : well , i 'll sort all that out . roman is my ex - husband , but i - i think he deserves better than ... kate . andre : oh . [ chuckles ] this is wonderful . i mean , you giving me a positive evaluation will certainly convince the board to allow me to have control of dimera enterprises . hattie : oh , right . maybe we should let them know that kate is having an affair and it means she 's distracted and she 's not attending to business . andre : exactly . and then i can show her the door . hattie : well , i would n't be mean about it . i mean , i would n't want to see her get hurt . andre : ah . so ... do we have a deal ? hattie : oh . oh , yes , we do . um ... why do n't you just call my office and make an appointment as soon as possible ? marlena : oh , i would give anything to feel your arms around me . john : i can make that happen , doc . just close your eyes again . i want you to see us together , just you and me .

josh : we 'll get you that information . i just want to say i think the point here is that this wedding between alan spaulding and doris wolfe really came out of nowhere . i mean , everybody wants justice but how can that happen if the prime suspect is married to the d.a . ? marina : there 's no argument there , josh . josh : okay . marina : when was the last time that you took a pill ? josh : i 'm not sure whether that matters ... marina : josh , i 'm trying to lead an investigation here and it 's really difficult when you keep interrupting . josh : i understand that , i do . can we just talk privately , please ?

from the moment that you left towers ? josh : until the moment you walked into the door here , yeah . marina : okay , good , that 's great . and i 'm glad to hear it . josh : have you by chance talked to remy boudreau ? marina : why would i talk to remy ? josh : because i saw him on main street right about the time that this supposedly happened and he was in uniform . he seemed a little shaken up . marina : that 's impossible . remy 's been suspended , he 's ... you know , never mind . josh : i 'm just telling you what i saw . marina : thank you , and i 'll check into it . thank you for your tip on remy . josh : you know what , do n't call it a tip , okay , because i ... i do n't want to point fingers at anybody . marina : hey , point all the fingers you want . i 'll take it . i 'll take any leads i can get right now and look into them . i mean , can you imagine right now ? who would n't want to shoot alan spaulding ? josh : that 's actually a question i do n't have the answer to . marina : especially everything that happened with tammy . i mean , there 's no doubt that he was behind it ; the guy might as well have been behind the wheel of the car himself . josh : yeah . marina : look , josh , i 'm a cop and i have to face some pretty harsh realities every day . and yet i still can not wrap my head around the fact that tammy 's really gone . she was one of the greatest friends i ever had . she was always there for me . so i can understand why cassie might want ... i ca n't even imagine what she must be going through right now . i 'm sure cassie 's just at the end of her rope . josh : do n't worry about her . i 'm taking good care of her . you just get out there and find the person that shot alan . marina : i will . cassie : i 'm sorry . josh : you do n't ever have to say that to me .

so what were you doing before the wedding ? what made you decide to crash it ? josh : ( laughs ) i do n't know that crash is really ... marina : well , she was n't invited . josh : she wanted to have a word with alan , that 's all . marina : was that your intention , cassie ?

josh : she can ; this is just a difficult time . marina : i understand that and i promise you i will be gentle . now , cassie , did you have anything to drink tonight ? cassie : no . josh : she does have some sleeping pills that were prescribed for her . marina : okay . who prescribed them and at what dosage ? josh : we 'll get you that information . i just want to say i think the point here is that this wedding between alan spaulding and doris wolfe really came out of nowhere . i mean , everybody wants justice but how can that happen if the prime suspect is married to the d.a . ? marina : there 's no argument there , josh . josh : okay . marina : when was the last time that you took a pill ? josh : i 'm not sure whether that matters ... marina : josh , i 'm trying to lead an investigation here and it 's really difficult when you keep interrupting . josh : i understand that , i do . can we just talk privately , please ? marina : okay . i understand . i will let you get some sleep , cassie , and we 'll be in touch , okay ? josh : okay . marina , cassie had her heart ripped out when her daughter was murdered . i 'm sure you can understand that . and , like any other mother , she wants the killer to answer for that crime . now , everybody knows that alan was involved , that alan was responsible so , yes , she went to confront him . she did that , i pulled her out and i brought her back here to the house . that 's it , end of story . marina : i understand that . but someone tried to kill alan spaulding tonight . josh : i 'm aware of that . i 'm just saying ... marina : now i 'm not trying to accuse cassie of anything . in fact , i 'm trying to get all evidence against that . josh : well , just ... she 's not a suspect here . i mean , she 's just not because she was with me . marina : she was with you ? from the moment that you left towers ? josh : until the moment you walked into the door here , yeah . marina : okay , good , that 's great . and i 'm glad to hear it . josh : have you by chance talked to remy boudreau ? marina : why would i talk to remy ? josh : because i saw him on main street right about the time that this supposedly happened and he was in uniform . he seemed a little shaken up . marina : that 's impossible . remy 's been suspended , he 's ... you know , never mind . josh : i 'm just telling you what i saw . marina : thank you , and i 'll check into it . thank you for your tip on remy . josh : you know what , do n't call it a tip , okay , because i ... i do n't want to point fingers at anybody . marina : hey , point all the fingers you want . i 'll take it . i 'll take any leads i can get right now and look into them . i mean , can you imagine right now ? who would n't want to shoot alan spaulding ? josh : that 's actually a question i do n't have the answer to . marina : especially everything that happened with tammy . i mean , there 's no doubt that he was behind it ; the guy might as well have been behind the wheel of the car himself . josh : yeah . marina : look , josh , i 'm a cop and i have to face some pretty harsh realities every day . and yet i still can not wrap my head around the fact that tammy 's really gone . she was one of the greatest friends i ever had . she was always there for me . so i can understand why cassie might want ... i ca n't even imagine what she must be going through right now . i 'm sure cassie 's just at the end of her rope . josh : do n't worry about her . i 'm taking good care of her . you just get out there and find the person that shot alan . marina : i will . cassie : i 'm sorry . josh : you do n't ever have to say that to me .

roman 's a police captain . i did n't think he still worked in the trenches . hope : what 's wrong ? kate : it sounds dangerous . hope : every day they come to work , it 's dangerous . kate : [ sighs ] hope : kate , this is a little awkward , and bo only mentioned it because we tell each other everything , but ... he told me what you said about your feelings for roman . kate : oh , god . oh , th -- that was just a blurt . i do n't -- hope : you do n't what ? love him ? ca n't say it , can you ? why have n't you told him ? kate : because ... i was hoping that he would say it first , and he has n't . and now ... hope : and now he 's going out on that dangerous stakeout . kate : you 're probably used to this , huh ? hope : you never get used to it . craig : hey . something told me somebody might be missing someone . nancy : oh , hi there , sweetheart . craig : hi , sweetie . nancy : come to your mama . craig : you want to say hello ? look at the sweetie . nancy : did you give nurse deb a hard time ? no , you did n't . you 're my little angel . brady : she 's so tiny . craig : is n't she ? nancy : yes , you are . brady , would you like to hold her ?

joy : [ crying ] nancy : oh , no . mimi : oh , my god . please tell me you were not wearing that underwear . belle : it was the worst night of my entire life . cassie : if shawn was my boyfriend , i 'd find much better things to do with him than fight . belle : cassie , give me that . cassie : no , i 'm taking the picture of him ! get away from me ! you know , i am so sick of you ! marlena : congratulations . now you 've become a parent . tony : hmm . rose : bye - bye , baby . | brady tries to put on a brave face for chloe since it 's the day of her transplant . nancy , craig , and even victor are there for support . bo , hope , jack , and jennifer all begin to talk about carson palmer but jack and jen are called away . they find out that bill 's gift to them was their very own talk show ! nicole trys to talk to bo about his father 's illegal dealings but victor stops her . bo , hope , roman , and kate all end up at the station and abe argues with bo about pursuing the case . eventually , roman and bo are assigned as hope and kate watch on . hope tells kate to tell roman how she feels about him . | <s>[INST] bo : walking distance . hope : oh , my god . you know , i 'd really like to believe that what goes on there stays far removed from shawn 's life . because where there are gangs , there are drugs , and where drugs , there are drive - bys . bo : hey , look who 's here . hope : hey . jennifer : there they are . hey . hope : come and sit with us . bo was trying to fill me in about last night . jennifer : all right . jack : so , did anything develop after ? hope : let 's put it this way . bo tried his luck with another hostess . bo : i 'm losing my touch . she was n't interested in me . i asked too many questions . jennifer : i 'm sorry . jack : so , it is n't just maria who 's got something to hide . bo : no . this thing could be bigger than i thought . jennifer : all right , well , let 's look on the bright side . more people that are in on it , the more avenues we have to pursue , right ? hope : mm - hmm . keep the pressure on , some will break . yep . we 'll nail those bastards . kate : ha ha . but you have to be smarter than the cops . roman : ha ha . oh , my . nicole : speak of the devil . how 's it feel to be out to pasture , kate ? kate : speak of the devil . but i do n't want to speak to her . and i wonder where her husband is . i guess the honeymoon must be over . nicole : bingo . just the man i needed to see . chloe : brady . brady : good morning . chloe : it 's morning ? [ sighs ] day zero . brady : tomorrow 's the first day of the rest of your life . chloe : ha . you make it sound like i 'm getting married or something . i mean , instead of having a bone marrow transplant . brady : the only difference being the hard part is over . all you have to do now is sit back and rest . unh , da - da - da - da - da . [ knocking continues ] brady : [ whispering ] i want to talk to you . sit tight . i wo n't be long . craig : how 's it going ? brady : dr. wesley , i 'm worried . i mean , i 've seen chloe sick and tired before -- we all have -- but she 's always had that fight in her , you know ? and these past couple of days , it 's like it 's gone -- the fight -- just when she needs it the most . like sands through the hourglass , so are the days of our lives . jennifer : i 'm just saying , if you can get me the public records on the drug dealer 's house , that i -- bo : h , , you should n't have a problem switching that deed into both your names once you -- kate : hi . bo : oh , hey . roman : hi . hope : hey . hi . jennifer : hey . roman : um , hope we did n't interrupt . bo : oh , no . jack and jennifer , they were just wondering if there were any new developments on that ben wells case . ca n't wait till we put a period on that story . roman : well ... enjoy your breakfast . jennifer : thank you . jack : certainly . jennifer : you know , i am so tired that i am desperate enough to scrounge up my own coffee . would anyone else like some ? hope : i 'll get you a cup . come on , i know where they are . jennifer : excuse me , jack . jack : yes , certainly . jennifer : thank you . jack : so , roman does n't know i 'm on this case , does he ? bo : roman does n't know i 'm on this case . and if he found out that i was leaking information to a member of the press ... jack : vultures -- all of us . i know . bo : he 'd have my badge . jack : oh , come on . roman would n't really do that to you , would he ? bo : yeah . jack : well , contrary to what they say about reporters , we do n't all spill our secrets . i promise you , jennifer and i wo n't breathe a word . hope : and i ca n't blame bo for not completely trusting roman to be on his side right now . jennifer : and , hope , believe me , jack and i do n't want to do anything to make the situation more tense . at least you got them talking again . hope : i did n't do much of anything . they 're brothers , you know . nothing will ever change that . you know , when you love someone enough , it 's not so hard to forgive , is it ? jennifer : do you know i could have saved myself a lot of heartache if i had realized that months ago ? no , years ago , that is . hope : yeah , but you were n't ready . but now you 're with jack all day at work , all night at home . jennifer : mm - hmm . hope : and any couple who could survive that can survive anything . god , i really miss working with bo . jennifer : that 's what you 're doing right now . hope : mm , kind of . i miss being in the trenches , you know ? jennifer : oh , yeah ? you did n't miss much last night , believe me . hope : you were there ? jennifer : well , i was n't invited . three 's a crowd , i guess . but when i showed up , i was quite welcome , because jack was being mauled by a working girl . brady : dr. wesley , with all due respect , i understand these treatments are supposed to make her tired , but chloe ca n't lift her own head . she ca n't keep her eyes open . craig : brady , we have been monitoring her vitals every two hours . she 's okay . brady : no , no , she 's not okay . she has a fever . craig : it was 98.7 10 minutes ago . there is no sign of infection . now , brady , i want you to listen to me . i understand it 's hard for you to see her like that , but this was our intent . we wanted to destroy her immune system and get rid of any other disease cells that might be there . the leukemia 's gone . we got it before she relapsed , and now her body is ready to receive the transplant and build new bone marrow . i understand that this is grueling and it 's brutal , but this is chloe 's best chance for a cure . everything is going exactly as we planned . bo : excuse me a second . jack : sure . nicole : about time . bo , hi , hi . bo : nicole . what are you doing here ? nicole : what do you mean ? did n't you expect to see me alone ? bo : alone , yeah , but not many millionaires hang out at my parents ' pub . nicole : actually , i 'm glad i ran into you . if you have a minute , i need to talk to you . bo : sounds serious . nicole : it is . nicole : i need you to know what your father 's been up to . man : everything looks good . craig : [ sighs ] oh ... nancy : is she awake ? man : uh , go on in . she 's waiting for you . craig : oh , thanks . thanks . come on , honey . nancy : thank you . man : mm - hmm . craig : come on . nancy : good morning , sweetheart . chloe : hey . craig : sweetie . hey there . how you doing ? chloe : all this counting down to day zero seems kind of anticlimactic , does n't it ? craig : yeah . chloe : i mean , they come in here , hang one more i.v . , and then after an hour it 's over . dr. herman says i ' probably sleep through the whole thing . how 's joy ? craig : she 's great . she 's just great , sweetie . chloe : i 'm so glad that she was n't poked with a single needle to do this for me . craig : core blood was harvested the moment she was born . she did n't feel a thing . and i 'm sure it 's gon na mean an awful lot to her knowing that she got to help her big sister out this way . chloe : i ca n't wait to see her again . all of you . craig : mm . chloe : craig , dr . herman would n't tell me how long it will be before we find out if the bone marrow is working . i hate it when doctors are so vague . craig : well , he was n't being vague , sweetheart . he was just telling you what he knows . we 're not sure . i mean , engraftment can take anywhere from a week to a month . the very fact that you and your sister were perfect matches on all six markers -- it 's a good sign it could be sooner , though . chloe : but you will tell me everything , right ? craig : this is your recovery , sweetheart . you are in charge . brady : like anyone could hide anything from you . nancy : ha ha . craig : now , d herman did tell you that there may be a few transfusions along the way while we 're waiting for your bone marrow to produce some new cells . it 's perfectly normal , okay ? chloe : okay . nancy : well , look , you must be tired . we should go . craig : yeah . chloe : no , i do n't want you to go . can i have some time alone with my mother ? i want to talk to her . craig : sure , sweetie . see you in a little while , okay ? come on , brady . jennifer : so then jack says to me , `` have i died and gone to heaven ? `` can you imagine , with this woman -- jack : and , of course , i had . oh . ahh . ow . jennifer : poor jack . are you okay ? do you still have a headache ? jack : i 'll have you know , i was assaulted . hope : yeah , sensory overload , huh ? jack : oh , please . come on , do n't laugh . i mean , come on , my jaw and my head are still hurting . hope : i 'm sorry . so let me guess . i assume that you ca n't go undercover there anymore , right ? jack : well , i - i 'm not -- [ cellular phone rings ] jennifer : oh . jack : on that note ... hope : saved by the bell . jennifer : saved by the bell . jack : all right . deveraux here . yeah . vern : jack ?

what kind of an emergency meeting ? vern : well , someone 's come bearing gifts from bill horton to you . jack : oh , great . should we bring along animal control ? vern : as long as you behave yourself , i do n't think that will be necessary . hurry up . jack : fine , fine , we 're on our way . good . jennifer : all right , what 's that ? what 's going on ? jack : another thrilling surprise from your father . jennifer : oh , no ! tell zack i 'll have to see him next time . give him a kiss for me . hope : sure thing . hey , good luck . jack : thank you . jennifer : thank you . hope : give me a call , okay ? see you later , jack . jennifer : what does vern have to do with this ? jack : i do n't know . i 'm just the messenger . jennifer : i 'm so scared , jack . jack : please . me too . roman : you ready ? kate : what ? i thought we were going to eat in . this is about bo , is n't it ? roman : well , my little brother never thinks i listen , but it 's pretty clear that he 'd prefer i not be here right now . kate : what would you prefer ? oh , roman , i thought things were better between you two . roman : so did i . bo : what about my father ? nicole : i overheard a conversation recently , and i am telling you , it was n't titan business he was discussing . now , obviously i was aware of victor 's reputation when i married him -- you know , his former association with organized crime and everything , but what i did n't realize was that he -- victor : how sweet of my devoted wife to be so concerned about her husband 's welfare . but she need n't be . victor : so you came to bo because you were concerned that i might be involved in something that could compromise my safety , huh ? nicole : i know what i heard , victor , and i think bo should know , too . victor : bo does know . you see , w was in contact with my former associates at bo 's request regarding his investigation into some recent gang activity . unfortunately , i did n't come up with anything of much use . i 'm sorry , bo . but i had no idea that nicole had overheard my conversation . but you can see how she might have jumped to the erroneous conclusion that i was in danger . is n't she something ? bo : yeah . thanks for trying to help . victor : oh , i have n't given up yet . bo : well , i appreciate that . could i talk to you in private for a second ? victor : of course . bo : i need to ask you another favor . victor : anything . bo : what can you get me on carson palmer ? victor : the d.a . ? bo : yeah . victor : what are you looking for ? bo : do n't know exactly . but i got a feeling i will when i see it . victor : well , i 'm sure you 're right . listen , i 'm no fan of the man who made it his personal mission to put my grandson behind bars . i 'll dig back to his days in diapers . bo : appreciate that . victor : well , the most satisfying breakfast in the world at the brady 's ' pub . we 'll leave you to yours in peace . oh , and i can assure you that you wo n't be troubled m my wife again . nancy : you 'll let me know if you get too tired . chloe : no , i want to hear about when you brought joy home from the hospital . nancy : ha ha . well , honey and sugar have appointed themselves her chief protector and guardians . they sleep underneath her crib . i think they 'd be in it if we were n't extremely vigilant . oh , gosh . and when we go on our walks , we have two leashes , one stroller , the baby -- we just ca n't wait for big sister to join us . oh , and your father has already got you signed up for diaper duty rotation . i think he 's got -- chloe : mom ... i 'm scared . nancy : oh , sweetheart . we 're here . jennifer : why do you think i 'm being summoned for your surprise ? jack : i do n't know . how about so you can be around and witness my massive heart attack ? i know . your father 's testing me . if the binturong did n't send me over the edge , he wants you to witness my complete and total emotional breakdown . jennifer : no , you 're not gon na have a nervous breakdown . you 're gon na be just fine . jack : no , of course i 'm not . i 'll be fine . jennifer : you 're fine . you 're fine . jack : are you ready to see what 's behind door number three ? jennifer : yes ? jack : all right . vern : hey , there you are . it 's about time . jennifer : vern . vern : come in , come in . come in . hi . jack : oliver . jennifer : harold ! oliver : hi - de - ho , deveraux . jennifer : you 're back . oliver : very astute . jack : she is that , yes . oliver : is n't that what i just said ? the best decision i ever made in my life was putting you in charge of my newspaper -- a sidelight being the most outstanding safari of my lifetime . and thank you for introducing me to your father -- a fascinating man . jack : he is that . oliver : of course , bill horton 's never taken the time to go on a kenyan safari . many nights , he would sleep and eat in his clinic -- if he slept at all . jennifer : yeah , i am aware of that . i 'm also aware of the generous contribution that you have made to his work with hiv and aids , and i thank you for that . oliver : well , someday i hope to do more . and someday i 'm sure your father hopes he can be closer to you and your family . family is what it 's all about , is n't it ? one of the many reasons i 'm pleased as punch about bill 's idea , and i 'm thrilled i can help it come to fruition . jennifer : this idea -- this is jack 's gift from my father ? jack : now , i know that i 'm not your favorite person , mr. wentworth . oliver : oliver . jack : and i know i 'm not bill 's favorite person , either . oliver : do n't look your gift horse in the mouth , jack . jack : horse , horse -- that 's it . horse byproducts . that 's bill 's dream idea of a gift for me . i know it . oliver : well , it better not be . he promised me it would n't be . i trust you to do for my tv station here what you did for my newspaper in a few short months . jack : what ?

chloe : not just for everything you 've done , but ... for the way you 've treated me . just letting me know what 's happening every step of the way . it 's made me feel like i still have some control . and , hey , if anything does go wrong ... craig : hey , shh . chloe : please just know that you were right . do n't ever , ever blame yourself for trying . craig : chloe , sweetheart , this is a risk that we have to take , and ... we have to believe that this is going to work . chloe : i do . i want to see my little sister grow up . craig : you will . you will . chloe : but if something does happen , you have to promise me something . craig : what ? chloe : please do n't let joy ever find out . i do n't want her to ever think that she did anything to fail me . hey , she 's my only chance . she 's our miracle . craig : so are you , chloe . so are you . hope : hey , nicole . hey , victor . victor : well , hope . hope : hi . victor : listen , i have been here for five minutes , and bo has n't showed me one single picture of zack . hope : well , you know what ? we can do better than that , because zack is upstairs playing candy cane lane with grandpa shawn . victor : ahh . wait till grandpa victor teaches him poker . hope : oh , dear , let 's have a talk . thankfully he 'll have to wait a few years for that . nicole : look , bo , you do n't understand . bo : no , you do n't understand . i do n't know what the hell 's going on between you and my father , and i really do n't want to know . victor and i do n't share the same code of conduct , but we 've reached an understanding . i do n't intend to make his business mine , so do n't try to play us against each other again , okay ?

what are you rolling your eyes at , vern ? vern : jack , have i ever steered you wrong where your career was concerned ? i mean , if you 'd only listen half the time , we -- look , anyway , you and jennifer have important things to say . you need to avail yourself of every opportunity to make those voices heard . jack : what about credibility , the stigma of television ? harold : i 've got two words for you , jack -- tom brokaw . oliver : you 're beautiful people . make use of your assets . the public will eat you up . jack : or eat us alive . oliver : you could be salem 's answer to regis and kelly . ha ha . harold : perfect . hope : i 'm not going to get in your way . i promise you , i 'm not going to get in your way . bo : i know you want to help . you already have , but what do you think abe is going to say about a civilian getting involved ? he 's already got carson palmer breathing down his neck . hope : i 'm not just a civilian . i was a cop . abe : detective brady , in my office , now . abe : you tampered with the lock on my file cabinet , did n't you ?

sami : well , he did n't -- he did n't really say anything , but i just got the feeling that it meant something to him . something important . rafe : maybe it was a trophy from one of his conquests or victims . sami : i could tell he was gon na kill me . he had no problems strangling me to death . if you had n't come in , he probably would have . so who knows what he 's capable of ? or what he did before he came here . rafe : well , maybe if we find out who she was or what happened to her , we 'll have what we need . taylor : okay . i ca n't call you , ej . i ca n't . i will just -- i 'll wait for you to call me . mom . i broke my promise to you , mom . you asked me to take care of nicole , and i am not . i wish you were here to take care of her . and me . nicole : go ahead . try it , ej . try it . why do n't you go ahead ?

money ? quinn : maybe i just want to torture you . you ever been tortured by someone who 's wired a lot like you are ? vivian : i do n't know what your father told you about me , but i am not a monster . quinn : what if i am ?

caroline : yes . both barrels . bo : surprise , surprise . how 'd he react ? caroline : he said he was very sorry for what he put sami through -- the weird thing is , i wanted to believe him . if he 's a con man ... he 's one of the best . bo : i 'm gon na take a little trip over there . caroline : as a cop or an uncle ? bo : oh , i 'll start out as an uncle , and we 'll see how it goes . love you . caroline : love you too . sami : come on , rafe , we ca n't go to the cops . rafe : why not ? just based on what that jerk tried to do to you last night . sami : because we ca n't . we can handle him , okay . we can handle this . rafe : oh , yeah , 'cause that 's going so well . sami : look , i have been in plenty of dangerous situations in my life , and i 'm still here , right ? it worked out . rafe : very reassuring . sami : okay . okay , i 'm sorry . it was totally my fault . i should not have gone down there and confronted him alone . i promise it wo n't happen again . rafe : what if he escapes , sami ? what if he comes after you , or after the kids ? sami : i get it . it 's dangerous . it 's even more dangerous to go to the cops , though . rafe : yeah , i just do n't get that . sami : are you serious ? ej and stefano have all those cops bribed ! like the guy who lured you down to the pier . who knows how many other cops they have on the take ? and all the judges . rafe : sami , listen to me . the only person that needs to know is your uncle bo . that 's it . sami : yes , he 's my uncle , but he is also the police commissioner . look , i just do n't trust that the dimeras wo n't find out . okay ? we have an opportunity here . we can either take advantage of this situation and pay them back for what they did to us , or we can go to the cops . and then ej and stefano will find out , and then we are screwed . abigail : lexie . dr . carver . hi . lexie : hi , abigail . are you going on your lunch ?

abigail : yeah . thanks . lexie : okay . chad : all right , i want to know what kind of trouble ej is in . nicole : look , if you 're gon na live here in the manse , it 'd be a good idea for you to learn not to ask a lot of direct questions . chad : whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa . you started this . you came in here asking me if i 've seen ej . i said no . you said he 's in some kind of trouble . what am i supposed to do ? nicole : realize that i am in a bad mood and keep walking ! chad : did your sister ask a lot of questions ? i mean , is that why she does n't live here anymore ? nicole : something like that , yeah . chad : huh . that 's too bad . she was nice . nicole : do n't ever say that to me again , okay ? taylor : i am staying here under an assumed name so nicole wo n't find out that i am still in salem . ej : right . and that 's the first thing that has to stop . no . uh - uh . you have every right to lead your own life . taylor : okay , maybe . maybe . but if nicole finds out that we were together , she is gon na call the cops and go singing like a canary . ej : i would n't be so sure about that . taylor : why not ?

[ scene_break ] skye : maybe a little . so you say alexis went to boarding school ? you know , my school , we used to cover for each other -- sign in for curfew , stuff like that . i guess i could cover for alexis for a while -- as a favor from one boarding school brat to another .

[ scene_break ] nikolas : you think she knew that she was dating both you and your father at the same time ? lucky : it just all fits . she 's been doing this push - pull routine with me since the day i met her -- coming on to me , then backing off . she 's using the exact same routine on my dad . you know what ? i 'd ask her to go out with me , and then she 'd give me this lame reason why she could n't . it 's just calculated . nikolas : you sure about all of this ? lucky : you know what ? she gave me this long speech how she was afraid of intimacy -- opening up , being with another person . but when i just saw her dancing with my dad -- laughing , smiling , whispering in his ear -- it 's not exactly a woman with intimacy problems . nikolas : does luke know about all this ? lucky : no way . there is no way he would do that to me . nikolas : ok . so , why would she do it ? lucky : who knows ? maybe the oldest reason in the book -- money . nikolas : he has enough to make it worth her while ? lucky : you know what ? the opportunity fell in her lap . he saved her from being hit by a car , and then he probably realized how much she looked like his wife -- also named laura -- and pursued her . you know what ? she just played it exactly the way he wanted to do it . you know what ? over the years he 's made a lot of enemies . one of them is probably using her as a plant . maybe her name 's not even laura . i mean , all dad has been talking about is this chick named summer . nikolas : wow . sounds like she 's been lying about a lot lately .

[ scene_break ] scott : you know what ? enough ! enough of your nonsense . the person who shoved alcazar off the balcony is standing right in front of me , and that person has to pay ! [ scene_break ] skye : look , jax , i -- i wish i could promise to do the right thing , but i have my limits , you know ? now , alexis killed that man , and for whatever reason -- i do n't know -- but there 's no way that i should have to pay for a crime that she committed . oh , god . listen to me . i 'm resenting her already . jax : maybe you should try empathizing instead . you know , you 're not so different from alexis . skye : except for the fact that we are both your ex - wives , i ca n't think of one thing that we have in common . jax : you both went to boarding school . you had distant fathers . it 's true that she did n't have an alcoholic mother , but she had helena to endure , which was bad enough . and you cope by drinking . alexis , i thought , did it by pushing herself to be brilliant . but i was wrong . she broke . skye : it 's funny . in a strange way , i envy her . oh , i do n't mean her current situation or the murder charge or anything else alexis is facing . i -- i just mean there are so many times that i wish i could have been a different person , so many times i wish that i could take everything that i hate about myself -- you know , the spitefulness , the insecurity , my constant aching need for a drink -- and just push them on to somebody else . alexis became her sister . i wish i could become mine . antoinette could be hateful . she could have been the one who lied , kept the secret about brenda , and slept with alcazar . antoinette could be the reason we 're divorced . and skye -- skye could be someone wonderful . skye could be strong and sober , someone with enough courage to love and enough generosity to forgive , someone who might actually take the rap for alexis . skye could be all those things that i wanted to be if antoinette had n't been there tripping me up . thank you , by the way . jax : you 're welcome . i 'm not sure what for . skye : well , for not pointing out that envying a woman with dissociate identity disorder is a new low in self - pity , even for me . jax : i did n't hear envy . i heard compassion . [ scene_break ] skye : maybe a little . so you say alexis went to boarding school ? you know , my school , we used to cover for each other -- sign in for curfew , stuff like that . i guess i could cover for alexis for a while -- as a favor from one boarding school brat to another . [ scene_break ] nikolas : hey . join the club . please , sit down . lucky : oh , you ca n't match this . nikolas : the woman i was about to marry and spend the rest of my life with just walked out those two doors with zander smith . top that . lucky : we were just talking about dad 's new girlfriend . guess who . nikolas : who ? lucky : the girl i was seeing -- laura . you know what ? she even said we had something special . nikolas : you 're kidding .

[ scene_break ] summer : yeah , we 'll see about that . [ scene_break ] faith : well , here 's something you do n't see every day -- carly corinthos without a man in groping distance . carly : get out . we 're not open for business . faith : do i detect a note of hostility ? carly : more than a note . faith : oh , come on . i meant it as a compliment . you 're one of those women that always have strong , confident men -- carly : you want to get thrown out ? faith : who 's going to do that , your faithful husband ? oh , no , wait , i 'm sorry . i saw him just tear out of here like he was late for a three - alarm fire . you know , that 's odd . sonny 's usually so calm and collected . i sure hope there is n't trouble among the ranks . [ scene_break ] carly : yeah , and what would you know about it ? [ scene_break ] jason : i have n't stopped caring about you . i 've just been trying to do what 's right for everyone else . courtney : what about you ? jason : it 's killing me . all i think about is being with you . courtney : sonny , it 's not what you think . i was kidnapped , and jason just -- sonny : i got an anonymous call you were here . jason : yeah , i got that -- i got the same call about courtney . someone tied her up , took her coat , shoes so she could n't leave by foot . and after i got here , they slashed my tires . sonny : so it was a setup ? jason : mm - hmm . sonny : i should have known as much , right ? jason : i 'm glad you guys came . we need to get back . sonny : hold on , hold on . you guys go outside , see what you can find , look around . just go . sonny : you got any idea who could have done this ? jason : courtney did n't see the guys . neither did i . courtney : faith rosco . sonny : what about her ? courtney : she showed up at the cellar , talking about how you were n't all- powerful and how all empires come to an end because of accidents and betrayal . sonny : you see , that 's why i do n't want you anywhere near jason . you put yourself in danger . you risk your life . is this getting through to you ? jason : sonny -- sonny : what ? [ scene_break ] jason : that 's enough . [ scene_break ] faith : all i know is that a couple of goons took off with sonny as he hotfooted out of here . i think i heard them mention something about jason . carly : like you did n't already know . faith : oh , what , did i hit a nerve ? is there maybe some truth to that rumor about you and jason having a hot and heavy thing a couple of years back ? carly : i would kill for jason , and he would do the same for me . so you better watch what comes out of your mouth next . faith : when your husband and jason disagree , whose side are you on ? carly : well , we 're family , so we 're on the same side -- which would be the opposite of yours . you were behind that phone call to sonny . that 's why you come sniffing around . you set the whole thing up , faith . faith : set what up ? carly : you lying whore . zander : whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa . hey , hey , stop it ! stop it ! stop it . stop it . carly : you mess with sonny , you are going to pay ! faith : you do n't know what you 're talking about ! zander : get back ! carly : you are nothing to sonny , nothing ! faith : this from his little slut wife ! zander : carly , cool it . carly : let go -- zander : calm down . it 's over , it 's over . carly : it 's only over when she is out of here . get her out -- get out ! zander faith : do n't you ever touch me again . [ scene_break ] carly : wench . let go of me , zander . let go . do you know who that woman is ? do you know , zander ? she is a small - time wannabe mobster . and she is working with ned , and i know you are working with ned . so that means you are about to get yourself in a whole world of grief . she 's sonny 's enemy . so you better stay away from him , or you 're not going to get another chance . [ scene_break ] nikolas : you think she knew that she was dating both you and your father at the same time ? lucky : it just all fits . she 's been doing this push - pull routine with me since the day i met her -- coming on to me , then backing off . she 's using the exact same routine on my dad . you know what ? i 'd ask her to go out with me , and then she 'd give me this lame reason why she could n't . it 's just calculated . nikolas : you sure about all of this ? lucky : you know what ? she gave me this long speech how she was afraid of intimacy -- opening up , being with another person . but when i just saw her dancing with my dad -- laughing , smiling , whispering in his ear -- it 's not exactly a woman with intimacy problems . nikolas : does luke know about all this ? lucky : no way . there is no way he would do that to me . nikolas : ok . so , why would she do it ? lucky : who knows ? maybe the oldest reason in the book -- money . nikolas : he has enough to make it worth her while ? lucky : you know what ? the opportunity fell in her lap . he saved her from being hit by a car , and then he probably realized how much she looked like his wife -- also named laura -- and pursued her . you know what ? she just played it exactly the way he wanted to do it . you know what ? over the years he 's made a lot of enemies . one of them is probably using her as a plant . maybe her name 's not even laura . i mean , all dad has been talking about is this chick named summer . nikolas : wow . sounds like she 's been lying about a lot lately . [ scene_break ] lucky : you know what ? she made a fool out of me , and i will be damned if she does the same thing to my father . [ scene_break ] cameron : you ca n't prosecute alexis for alcazar 's murder . scott : watch me . cameron : you 'd be sending her to jail for something she did n't do . scott : if you think i 'm going to listen to you and watch my career go down the drain , you 're nuts . cameron : you saw the other personality emerge with your own eyes . scott : i saw someone acting like a nut case , that 's all . cameron : answering to the name kristina . scott : i do n't care whether that 's kristina , alexis , whatever . she commit -- she confessed to murder ! that 's good enough for me . cameron : baldwin , kristina committed the murder . if you send alexis to jail , the kristina personality will emerge more and more often , might even take over for good . scott : i 'm sick of listening to you . cameron : if anything happens to alexis , it 's going to be on your head . [ scene_break ] alexis : he has no choice . he has to arrest me .

shelter , or ... counseling ? avery : yes , legal services , employment assistance , mentoring . joe : we want to empower these women . it 's very difficult for them to break away from the shadows of the abuser , and that 's exactly what this organization does so that they can go on and build strong homes for their children . jack : sounds like a worthwhile cause . phyllis : i agree . tell me , joe , what drew you to a women 's charity ? so much so it made you stay in town ? joe : well , it 's very personal for me . phyllis : why 's that ? joe : because i used to be one of those abused kids . cane : dad , will you please go away ? we 're trying to have a private conversation . jill : honey , come on . it 's your father . we 're family . surely we can talk about it together . colin : so , what were we discussing ? jill : we were discussing the possible restructuring at chancellor . colin : i thought things were going quite well . cane : not for me . jill : see , here 's the thing -- i believe that a lot of this is because of ... misplaced anger on your part . cane : [ laughs ] what misplaced anger do i have ? jill : you have a lot of responsibility at chancellor , cane . cane : no , no , no . do n't avoid the question . what misplaced anger do i have ? jill : okay . your marriage to lily has hit a rough patch , okay , while colin and i are stronger than ever . cane : oh , okay . i see what 's happening here . i 'm supposed to be jealous of a relationship and a marriage based on blackmail and backstabbing . is that what this is ? colin : and we 're all the better for it , i might add . jill : [ chuckles ] cane : all right . okay . my professional concerns have nothing to do with my private life . as a matter of fact , lily and i are fine . we are back on track . jill : why do i get the sense that that 's not entirely true ? cane : well , i 'm telling you it 's true . thank you . jill : you need to stop stressing about chancellor and put more energy into your marriage . now , my sister 's here . are we done ? cane : we are very done . goodbye , dad . colin : before you go ... i got two words for you . move on . kevin : i 'm sorry i upset you . michael : you had your chance to come clean , kevin . just do n't come running to me to bail you out when you get in more trouble . kevin : i wo n't . i promise . michael : [ chuckles ] you say that with such sincerity . it 's like you almost believe it . kevin : yeah , i get that you 're upset about me and my job , but you 're wound so tight . did you get some bad news from the doctor or something ? michael : good news . i 'm almost finished my radiation treatment . next up , hormone therapy . kevin : no setbacks ? michael : not a one . satisfied ? kevin : no . not at all . sharon : oh , my gosh . look how beautiful ! let me see this ring ! so , a simple wedding ? courtney : kind of has to be . [ chuckles ] we 're just doing it at the park , and we 're gon na have a justice of peace . sharon : oh ... noah : so , i was a little surprised to find you here . dylan : uh , just checking on your mom . noah : did something else happen ? dylan : nah , she had n't mentioned anything . noah : so , why do you feel like you need to protect her ? dylan : i 'm trying to find out the truth . noah : what , from my mother ? she does n't know anything . she did n't have anything to do with what happened to austin . dylan : i 'm just trying to put pieces together , noah . noah : how could you think she would have something to do with this ? dylan : what are -- what are you talking about ? noah : she was n't even at the cabin . dylan : faith said that she was in the woods with sharon that night . noah : faith is a child , okay ? she does n't understand . you just took her word ? you did n't even talk to my mom ? dylan : no , that 's why i came by -- to talk to her . noah : to question her ? were you trying to dig up some dirt on her while you -- while you 're smiling in her face ? you expect me to go along with this ? huh ? listen to me , i am -- i am sick of people lying to my mother , okay , and getting into her head . sharon : what ? what 's going on over here ? noah : um ... look , austin was murdered . sharon : wh - what are you talking about ? noah : yeah . it 's true . and dylan thinks you did it . sharon : austin was murdered ? courtney : what are you doing ? noah : i 'm just trying to clear things up for dylan here . sharon : a - and dylan , you think that i ... ? noah : look , somebody killed austin at abby 's valentine 's party . sharon : you saw ... noah : no . well , we were drugged and we were passed out . and we tried to cover it 'cause we were scared . but somebody 's been threatening us to keep quiet . sharon : noah , why did n't you tell me about this ? noah : because i did n't want to get you dragged into this conspiracy . but now people know that you gave that interview to austin . sharon : oh , my gosh . that message on my mirror . courtney : kyle wrote that . sharon : what ? why would he do that ? courtney : he wanted to see if you would react . sharon : they suspect me . noah : unlike kyle or summer or dylan , i know -- courtney : we . noah : we know that there 's no possible way you could have anything to do with austin 's death . sharon : well , thank you for believing in me , both of you . and dylan , for your information , um , i am innocent . i thought austin died in a car accident . courtney : sharon , i hate to ask this , but ... sharon : no , i - i - i wo n't say a word to anyone . i would never put either one of you at risk . okay , look , enough of this . you two better get out of here . you have a wedding to plan . noah : okay . what about you ? sharon : i think i have some things to discuss with dylan . [ door closes ] sharon : when ? dylan : i do n't -- i do n't know what you 're asking . sharon : i thought you were my friend . i want to know when that changed . dylan : it -- it has n't changed . sharon : you said that you were trying to help me and protect me . dylan : i was trying to . i am trying to help you . sharon : all this time , you 're trying to get me to confide in you . really , you did n't believe a word i was saying . dylan : have you told me the truth ? sharon : go to hell ! dylan : where were you that night ? sharon : i told you . you already know . dylan : no . faith said that she was in the woods with you . now , you never mentioned any detour when you were supposedly going to a hotel room . so exactly what were you doing out there ? joe : my mom dragged us to a shelter , and ... hid from my father , and that was the first time i went to sleep not afraid . yeah . they helped her find a job and eventually a home and then she -- she built us a great life . phyllis : avery did n't mention any of this . avery : well , it was n't my story to tell . and when joe and i were married , i thought that i understood . joe : well , you did . avery : no , i did n't . not until i found out our dad was n't the man i thought he was , and then i understood better what a father 's betrayal does . it cuts so deep . phyllis : it 's not the same type of abuse joe suffered . avery : no , it is n't , but you suffered , too . and i ca n't think of any greater pain than realizing you 're not safe , physically or emotionally , with the person that 's supposed to love you . jack : tell you what , joe . i am prepared to make a generous contribution to better days foundation . as well , phyllis and i are about to get married . how about we ask our family and friends to give to your foundation rather than giving us wedding gifts ? avery : [ chuckles ] joe : thank you , jack . avery : yes . thank you . that means so much to us . colin : look , son , i 'm just looking out for you . cane : you expect me to believe that , huh ? colin : i can understand you wanting to be higher up on the chancellor food chain . cane : where i should be . colin : the point is jill 's not gon na give you any more power . and for as long as you 've wanted to be head of chancellor , she 's wanted it longer . cane : so basically you 're telling me i should shut my mouth and have no input at chancellor even though it 's my input that has led the company to its recent success . is that what you 're telling me ? colin : if you can . cane : and let you become the official number two ? colin : [ chuckles ] cane : hell ... no . colin : look , i do n't need the title . you called it when you said i 've got my wife 's ear . cane : you played us both , did n't you ? colin : look , i do n't want things to get ugly between you and jill . and i do n't want you taking this stress home to your family . cane : so , what are you suggesting ? colin : find another company , one where you can reap the accolades , you can have the success that you deserve and desire . cane : i am not going anywhere . lauren : were n't you just in the middle of something with colin and cane ? jill : i think cane needs a break from me . lauren : really ? why ? jill : he did n't like it when i told him that he was being too sensitive about chancellor because of the problems in his marriage . lauren : sis , you know , when you hit a stumbling block in your marriage , it takes a while to get your footing again . jill : mm . lauren : he and lily are solid . they 'll get past this . jill : good . so , you and michael . lauren : i am happy to report that it looks like his treatments are a success . jill : oh , that 's wonderful ! lauren : is n't it ? jill : okay , so everything 's back to normal ? lauren : we 've had -- we 've had a rough couple days . jill : 'cause of the radiation ? lauren : that and work and he 's just -- he 's exhausted and ... you know what ? we -- we 're back on the road to normal . i know it . michael : you 're trying to talk about me to get yourself out of the hot seat . ha . well - played , brother . well - played . kevin : your move . michael : forget it . you 're not even listening to me anyway . and i 'm anxious to get to my wife for a well - deserved evening of celebration . kevin : you say that so sincerely . it 's almost like you believe it . michael : i 'm being honest , whereas you would n't know honesty if it hit you on the ... kevin : i saw the less - than - enthusiastic look on your face when lauren left . michael : you 're delusional . kevin : actually , no . i 'm having pretty serious déjà vu . this reminds me of when you failed to tell lauren about your cancer diagnosis . so what are you lying to your wife about this time ? cane : hey . lauren : hey . are you here for lily ? cane : uh , no . she 's in the meeting , so i 'm waiting . lauren : it 's a lot more fun to wait with a buddy . cane : well ... hello , buddy . lauren : [ chuckles ] cane : so , how are you ? lauren : um , better than you from what i hear . cane : oh . so you talked to jill . lauren : i did . cane : yeah . lauren : you know , you were nice enough to let me vent the other day about what michael and i are going through . if you want to talk about it , i 'm here . cane : thank you , but there 's only really two things i want right now , and that 's a cold beer and for this day to be over . lauren : let me help you with one of those , okay ? please , uh , could you get this man a cold beer ? [ chuckles ] michael : you 're accusing me of mistreating my wife ? kevin : well , that 's what you 're doing if you 're keeping things from her . you know , you should be doing the happy dance for the way the two of you have come through this . michael : it 's not over . kevin : okay , so you have n't gotten it all clear just yet , but like you said , after a few more treatments , you will . michael : even then , it wo n't be the same . i 'm not the same man i was before i found out i had cancer . kevin : nobody would be . this changes a person , but , michael , you have to talk to lauren about how you 're feeling . michael : i 've tried to . i have tried to tell her that i 've changed . but she refuses to see it , and by the time she does , it 'll be too late . kevin : well , too late for what ? michael : i do n't want us going through the motions , dancing around the painful reality . kevin : wh - what reality ? michael : that we can never get back to what we once were . kevin : then do n't try and go back . go forward . you still love lauren as much as you always have , right ? michael : god , yes . lauren 's happiness is the only thing that 's important . i owe her that . no matter what it takes . jack : so , you get me the information . i 'll see that the money is wired . avery : i 'll do that . phyllis : i 'll be right back . [ smooches ] lauren : hi , sweetheart . we 're seeing each other next week , right ? phyllis : absolutely . lauren : okay . see you then . cane : hey . joe : oh , i was just taking care of the bill . phyllis : oh , are you leaving ? joe : yeah , i need to get back to work , but i asked the waiter to set you and jack up with coffee , dessert , champagne , whatever . phyllis : well , that was thoughtful . joe : well , consider it a thank you for the sizable donation to my organization . phyllis : oh , i suspect you 'll have more generous donations . what you went through -- it has a powerful effect on people . joe : you think i 'm using my past to lure your soft - hearted sister away from dylan , huh ? phyllis : are you ? joe : avery was the first person i trusted to open up with about my past . she was the first woman to understand who i am . asking her to help me in this endeavor ... seems to be a natural fit . we have a deep bond . phyllis : very deep . the deepest . sharon : i was n't in the woods . dylan : where did you go ? sharon : i do n't have to explain myself to you . dylan : i ca n't help you unless you tell me everything , sharon . sharon : you do n't want to help me ! you 've been lying to me the whole time ! dylan : no , i 'm trying to solve this , and the more honest you are with me , the better -- sharon : fine , you want the truth ? i will tell you the truth . i had a panic attack . yeah . i was in the car , with my child in the back seat , hyperventilating . i felt like my heart was going to explode . dylan : faith did n't say that . sharon : well , faith fell asleep , and thank god , because ... [ sighs ] i just kept driving . i thought if i kept driving , maybe it would calm me down . dylan : but -- but with the storm , why -- sharon : why did n't i pull over ? i do n't know . because i was n't thinking clearly . it was hard enough just trying to breathe . dylan : where did you go ? faith must have woken up at some point , because she said she was in a wooded area . unless you 're saying that faith made that up . sharon : all right . you got me , dylan . you know , i really did n't expect that faith would ruin this for me . yeah , i drove to the abbott cabin and i murdered austin because he refused to delete that interview i gave him about nick . but i did n't want to leave the body laying there , though . that was too messy . and there was a snowstorm outside , my child was in the back seat of my car , but i figured , `` hey , i 'm gon na use my superhuman strength and drag austin 's body out of the cabin into the car and make it look like he was in a car accident . `` is that what you want me to say ? it is , is n't it ? is n't it ? ! dylan : sharon , come on . sharon : is n't it ? ! you think i 'm crazy . why do n't you just admit it ? jack : no , i 'm glad i came . phyllis : oh , after i wrangled you into this ? jack : well , it feels good to do something good for the world . how you feeling about joe 's intentions regarding your sister ? phyllis : oh , i was right . he wants her back . jack : well , that ca n't happen . she 's engaged to dylan . phyllis : and i do not doubt she loves him very much . jack : but you think she 's still distracted by joe . phyllis : i think my sister is a sucker for the underdog , and he knew she could n't resist helping him fight for something that means so much to him . jack : well , you 're her sister . you could warn her . phyllis : ah , she wo n't listen . if avery 's not careful , she will find herself drawn back to joe quicker than she realizes . joe : well , i could n't have done it without you . avery : your story convinced them . joe : yes , but you being there helped me tell it . avery : joe , you have the ability to get into people 's hearts and make them understand that this cause can change lives . you 're gon na help so many women and children with this charity . joe : thank you . avery : okay . i should go . joe : yeah . sweet dreams . you deserve them . avery : good night . joe : good night . kevin : why would you guys want to talk about the investigation tonight ? you 're getting married tomorrow . noah : well , [ clears throat ] we saw my mom . courtney : and we told her about austin 's murder . kevin : how many people are we gon na bring into this ? noah : had to be done . courtney : i 'm the one who insisted on this meeting . i ca n't stop thinking about accessing the department 's surveillance cameras . noah : wait , that 's why you wanted to see him ? courtney : yeah , noah , if we can just figure out why austin was following jack that night in chancellor park , then maybe we can just shut this all down before our wedding . noah : it can wait . courtney -- courtney : i ca n't let this go . i know that it makes you uncomfortable , and i understand . i -- noah : no . kevin got caught . and he 's a genius with computers . now , you try this and you could get kicked off the force . and paul 's gon na be asking a bunch of questions that we do n't want him asking . kevin : actually , thanks to my epic fail , i could help courtney avoid getting caught . courtney : you can help me access the footage without bumping into firewalls ? kevin : yeah . yeah , i 've got it all figured out . sharon : get the hell out . dylan : come on , sharon . i 'm just trying to sort out what happened . sharon : well , i do n't know what happened because i was n't at the abbott cabin that night . dylan : [ sighs ] sharon : i did not kill austin . i 'm not some horrible monster . dylan : i know . i know that . i know you 're not . but i also know firsthand that things can get out of control . sharon : well , i would never lose it like that . to think that you would even wonder if i could take that young man 's life and -- and while my daughter 's asleep in the car ... did you talk to nick about this ? dylan : no . no , of course not . sharon : what about any of the other kids ? dylan : no . i would n't do that to you . sharon : because if nick found out about this -- dylan : no , i 'm certain that nick does n't know about it . and i understand why you would n't want him to hear it . [ sighs ] the kids saw your interview about nick on austin 's computer . they told me what you said . sharon : and you think that 's a possible motive for the murder . that 's what you 're thinking , are n't you ? you are . you think i killed austin to protect nick 's secret so that i could use it for leverage . dylan : i know how desperate you are to keep faith in your life . this looks bad . it looks real bad , sharon . jill : so you asked cane to step aside ? colin : i want my wife and my son to succeed . besides , he 'd be better off if he 's not in your shadow , and , well , you do n't need the help . jill : so , how did he take it ? colin : he understood . jill : oh , colin . colin : yeah . prepare for battle . when my son wants something , he goes after it . jill : you know , i expected that this day would come , but i am not worried . 'cause with you at my side , it wo n't be much of a fight . lauren : [ laughs ] that 's very funny . cane : so , where did you guys meet ? lauren : we actually met here . and , um ... [ indistinct conversation ] lauren : [ chuckles ] no , not friends like that . cane : oh , okay . lauren : no , no , no . i had a boutique -- well , my boutique here , and he sort of was interested in me ... [ cell phone chimes ] lauren : ... and so that 's how we met . it 's probably just michael saying that he 's on his way . oh . hmm . cane : what 's the matter ? is something wrong ? lauren : uh , he 's not coming . work . cane : you know , uh , lily 's probably tied up in this meeting for about another hour , so ... you want to get some dinner ? lauren : you know what ? why not ? cane : yeah ? lauren : yeah . you want to go sit over there ? cane : sure . lauren : okay . thank you . cane : you 're welcome . lauren : how about this one ? jack : i have another question about tonight . phyllis : this is our time . no more talk about my sister 's personal life . jack : no , no . this is about us . phyllis : okay . i love talking about us . jack : [ chuckles ] i offered to have other people make donations rather than give us wedding gifts , and as soon as it came out of my mouth , i realized maybe that 's not what you want . phyllis : honey , those women and children need that money to make new lives . we do n't need a bunch of silver bowls and vases we 'll never use . jack : i had a feeling that 's what you 'd say . and do n't worry . i 'll still get you something special . phyllis : i already have everything i want , okay ? jack : mm . courtney : come here . look , you see what i 'm doing as risking our future . i see it as guaranteeing the future that we want . i love you , noah . and i plan on spending many , many years together as husband and wife . but we ca n't settle in to happily married life when there 's this murderer running around threatening us . i need to put an end to this . noah : [ sighs ] i mean , your mind 's made up . courtney : [ chuckles ] how 's your mind ? noah : it 's freaking out . but i 'm not gon na stop you . not so fast . just do me one favor , okay , please ? just wait until after the wedding . courtney : tomorrow , i 'll be all about being a bride and a newlywed . but kevin 's here . he might as well tell me everything he knows . kevin : all right . to pull this off , you have to do exactly as i say . avery : [ sighs ] i am so happy to see you . dylan : did you eat ? avery : uh , no . i - i ended up having to go out for dinner . joe invited me to join him while he , uh , met with phyllis and jack about contributing to the charity . dylan : mm . well , i - i got held up with something , too . avery : with work ? dylan : yeah . avery : okay , well , i 'm beat . you ready for bed ? dylan : yeah . i 'll be right in . avery : okay . [ next_on ] abby : kyle called , and suddenly courtney and noah are getting married today . stitch : today ? what 's the rush ? summer : does n't she look gorgeous ? kyle : yes , she does . sharon : the real killer can place me near the scene of the crime . he is gon na make sure i get framed for that murder . | nikki takes the fingerprints to paul , but he refuses to help her . she confronts victor , who tells her he left them for his private investigator because there was a breach at newman enterprises . when nikki leaves , victor calls someone and says the fingerprints are vital for the next step of their plan . kevin announces that he found footage of surveillance of jack abbott in chancellor park . he tries to recover more of the footage but sets off an alarm . paul suspends him . michael and lauren plan to go out for dinner to celebrate michael nearing the end of radiation . kevin shows up and michael tells him that he wo n't be bailing him out if kevin gets in trouble again . while dylan visits sharon to check on her , noah and courtney announce their engagement . sharon is thrilled . noah tells sharon that austin was murdered and dylan thinks sharon did it . sharon tells dylan to leave . cane tells jill he thinks chancellor needs to be restructured . jill thinks cane is just stressed because his marriage is on the rocks . colin tells cane to move on to another company but cane says he is n't going anywhere . lauren finds herself waiting at the bar for michael while cane is waiting for lily . michael walks in to find the two laughing and having a good time . he texts lauren to tell her he ca n't make it to dinner . cane asks lauren if she 'd like to join him . | <s>[INST] [ knock on door ] joe : wow . you came right over . avery : well , you made it sound like life or death . joe : you 're dressed perfectly . avery : you 're not . joe : sorry . avery : what is this about ? joe : the charity . avery : well , i already told you . i got gabriel bingham to sign all the paperwork . joe : yeah , but we still need our million - dollar donor to get the ball rolling . avery : oh , oh , is that all ? joe : you know , big money equals big press . avery : well , yes , press will help us raise more funds . joe : exactly . avery : starting tonight . joe : yes . avery : with ? joe : dinner . downstairs . avery : joe , i am not having dinner with you . if you want to discuss business , then we can do that . joe : you , me , jack , and phyllis . avery : my sister agreed to have dinner ? joe : well , i knew she 'd turn me down if you were n't with me . so , what do you say ? dinner . you do eat , do n't you ? avery : joe ... joe : just dinner downstairs , the four of us . strictly business . avery : [ sighs ] ought to be an interesting evening . jack : red , red , red , red , red . you know i would do anything for you -- anything . phyllis : then do this . relax . let your i.t . department handle jabot being hacked for a couple of hours . jack : who 's gon na handle victor showing up in my office ? phyllis : you . after dinner . i truly and really absolutely appreciate you doing this . pretty please ? jack : a guy 's got to eat . phyllis : i think i 'll marry you . jack : you better . i am a little surprised that you accepted joe clark 's invitation so quickly . phyllis : well , i 'd like to hear more about his foundation . jack : uh - huh . phyllis : okay , fine . my motive is n't completely altruistic . jack : you 're worried about your sister . phyllis : you know what ? avery claims that her work with joe is platonic and professional . jack : and you do n't believe her . phyllis : and i do n't believe joe . this dinner will give me a chance to see if he 's passionate about this project or my sister . cane : this is the best way to maximize profits in this division . jill : that 's your opinion . cane : no , it 's not my opinion . it is fact . and if you just take the time to look at it -- jill : oh , you think i have n't ? listen , with all due respect , cane , i appreciate your opinion . i just do n't happen to share it . that 's all . cane : so we 're at a standoff . jill : a standoff ? i do n't think so , no . no , we 're gon na do it my way because i am making the final decision , right ? cane : you know what ? i think it 's about time that we reassess the way we 've structured things at chancellor . michael : i am gon na wrap things up here and meet you at the club . lauren : w - w - wait . not home ? michael : going out 's more romantic . and the rest of the night will be about just you and me . lauren : okay , wait , wait , wait . are you sure ? michael : why would n't i be ? lauren : well , honey , the last time i tried to surprise you , it did n't exactly go very well . michael : i would like you to chalk that up to me working long hours and being punchy and being a bit of an ass . lauren : are you more rested now ? michael : i 'm rested and repentant . let me make it up to you . you know , i 'm just closing in on the end of my treatment . we have n't celebrated that yet . lauren : whoo - hoo ! [ laughs ] the end is in sight ! i 'm so excited . [ chuckles ] michael : it 's been a long time . lauren : yeah . yeah , it has . you and me eating and laughing and celebrating . i love it . i ca n't wait . kevin : hello ! place of business . is n't that a health code violation ? lauren : [ laughs ] i will see you later . michael : it 's a date . lauren : bye , kevin . kevin : bye . [ kisses ] you summoned . i 'm here . what 's up ? michael : i heard from paul that you got yourself suspended . kevin : oh , yeah . that . michael : that . being you were improperly using the gcpd computer system . kevin : i tell you , my boss and my brother being friends -- very inconvenient . michael : paul also said that you refused to tell him what you were searching for . kevin : i 'm not telling you , either . michael : i want to know what 's going on with you , kevin . kevin : well , here 's the story . michael : and do not try to play me . i know this job is important to you . you would n't just cavalierly risk throwing it all away , so what the hell was so important ? [ knock on door ] sharon : dylan ! what are you doing back here so soon ? dylan : just , uh , wanted to check on you . sharon : oh , well , thank you . um , can i get you anything ? dylan : uh , no , i 'm -- sharon : [ laughing ] oh , my gosh . wow , i suddenly have lots of visitors . courtney , i have n't seen you in awhile . courtney : oh , y the life of a cop 's like . sharon : so , what brings you both by ? noah : um , well , uh ... [ chuckles ] we have some news . dylan : uh , if you need me to ... noah : no , it 's fine . mom , we 're getting married . sharon : married ? oh , my gosh ! what a surprise ! that is wonderful ! oh , you have to tell me about the proposal ! when is the wedding ? noah : tomorrow . jill : it 's funny . i do n't find the idea of appealing . cane : and i did n't think you would , but that does n't that we should not discuss it . jill : i understand why this would be very frustrating for you because you did run chancellor , right ? it must kill you to take orders from me . to be my second - in - command . cane : well , that 's because there were mitigating circumstances surrounding hilary and devon 's secret affair , but those circumstances have now changed . but if you want to stick to our agreement , then let me bring up this point . you told me that my father would not be involved in the running of chancellor , but here he is , colin atkinson , making decisions by your side . colin : somebody mention my name , hmm ? michael : why , of all things , would you hack into the police computer system ? kevin : here 's what i will tell you . i was using my superpowers for good . michael : sidebar -- should i be troubled that you think you have superpowers ? kevin : can you just trust me on this ? i was n't doin michael : well , obviously paul disagrees . and now since you suddenly started talking like a character in one of those books that you like , i have all the more reason to think that there is something i 'm concerned about . so , what 's the big secret ? kevin : maybe i did n't feel like opening up to you because i did n't bing my stupidity in my face . michael : so , this was unintentional ? just a stupid mistake ? kevin : i got caught , did n't i ? it 's not a big deal . michael : the big deal is , you 've finally gotten your life in order , and now you 're screwing it all up again . kevin : michael , i - i got suspended . i did n't get fire michael : that 's just one step away from being out of a job ! why ca n't you -- you know , fine ! you want to wreck everything you 've worked for , have at it . i do n't have time to worry about you , too t tomorrow ?

noah : nothing yet . i mean , we 've been playing a little bit of phone tag , but i 'm sure he 's gon na be just as shocked as you sharon : shocked -- yeah , that -- that covers it . it 's kind of sudden going from engagement to wedding in 24 hours . noah : i know . you know , in so many ways , it 's really not that sudden at all . courtney : we 've already been living together for a while now , noah : i love this woman . and when i thought about marrying her , i - i knew it was right . i do n't want to wait , mom . sharon : why not ? noah : because life 's too short . courtney : that 's the way i 've always felt . when you learn you ca n't take time for granted , and , sharon , i promise i never been more sure about anyone or anything . noah : what 's on your mind , mom ?

phyllis : while you and i twid avery : i will fill you in on everything . phyllis : feels a little `` divide and conquer . avery : whatever works . joe : shall we ? jack : shall we ? avery : joe is not hitting on me . phyllis : are you sure about that ? one minute you 're agreeing to work together , the next you 're planning family dinners . avery : business dinner . phyllis : if i did n't know better , the two of you look like a couple . avery : okay , you know what ? you can keep singing this song . it is not like that at all . phyllis : really ? where 's dylan ? avery : this is business , my business , not my fiancé 's , and the truth is i did n't even know dinner until just a few minutes ago . phyllis : yeah , well , joe 's st . avery : yes , because he is determined to raise money for his charity as quickly a possible . phyllis : and that 's his only incentive ? ave b been divorced for years . he is very clear on where we stand . : : agreeing to work with him might have made things less clear . avery : phyllis , i took this project because ve in it . and i know how personal it is to phyllis : personal . avery : no , i -- okay . i did not mean it like will you just listen to joe and what he has to say about the charity ? before dinner is out , you will see him and the work we 're doing in a new joe : now , jack , i realize your time 's valuable , so we can wait for dessert , or ... jack : no , no , no , no , no . we know why we 're here . you 're looking for donors for your foundation . joe : i am . phyllis : tell us about it . joe : well , we save lives . avery : uh , the organization provides safe haven for battered women and children . phyllis : oh , what does that entail ? shelter , or ... counseling ? avery : yes , legal services , employment assistance , mentoring . joe : we want to empower these women . it 's very difficult for them to break away from the shadows of the abuser , and that 's exactly what this organization does so that they can go on and build strong homes for their children . jack : sounds like a worthwhile cause . phyllis : i agree . tell me , joe , what drew you to a women 's charity ? so much so it made you stay in town ? joe : well , it 's very personal for me . phyllis : why 's that ? joe : because i used to be one of those abused kids . cane : dad , will you please go away ? we 're trying to have a private conversation . jill : honey , come on . it 's your father . we 're family . surely we can talk about it together . colin : so , what were we discussing ? jill : we were discussing the possible restructuring at chancellor . colin : i thought things were going quite well . cane : not for me . jill : see , here 's the thing -- i believe that a lot of this is because of ... misplaced anger on your part . cane : [ laughs ] what misplaced anger do i have ? jill : you have a lot of responsibility at chancellor , cane . cane : no , no , no . do n't avoid the question . what misplaced anger do i have ? jill : okay . your marriage to lily has hit a rough patch , okay , while colin and i are stronger than ever . cane : oh , okay . i see what 's happening here . i 'm supposed to be jealous of a relationship and a marriage based on blackmail and backstabbing . is that what this is ? colin : and we 're all the better for it , i might add . jill : [ chuckles ] cane : all right . okay . my professional concerns have nothing to do with my private life . as a matter of fact , lily and i are fine . we are back on track . jill : why do i get the sense that that 's not entirely true ? cane : well , i 'm telling you it 's true . thank you . jill : you need to stop stressing about chancellor and put more energy into your marriage . now , my sister 's here . are we done ? cane : we are very done . goodbye , dad . colin : before you go ... i got two words for you . move on . kevin : i 'm sorry i upset you . michael : you had your chance to come clean , kevin . just do n't come running to me to bail you out when you get in more trouble . kevin : i wo n't . i promise . michael : [ chuckles ] you say that with such sincerity . it 's like you almost believe it . kevin : yeah , i get that you 're upset about me and my job , but you 're wound so tight . did you get some bad news from the doctor or something ? michael : good news . i 'm almost finished my radiation treatment . next up , hormone therapy . kevin : no setbacks ? michael : not a one . satisfied ? kevin : no . not at all . sharon : oh , my gosh . look how beautiful ! let me see this ring ! so , a simple wedding ? courtney : kind of has to be . [ chuckles ] we 're just doing it at the park , and we 're gon na have a justice of peace . sharon : oh ... noah : so , i was a little surprised to find you here . dylan : uh , just checking on your mom . noah : did something else happen ? dylan : nah , she had n't mentioned anything . noah : so , why do you feel like you need to protect her ? dylan : i 'm trying to find out the truth . noah : what , from my mother ? she does n't know anything . she did n't have anything to do with what happened to austin . dylan : i 'm just trying to put pieces together , noah . noah : how could you think she would have something to do with this ? dylan : what are -- what are you talking about ? noah : she was n't even at the cabin . dylan : faith said that she was in the woods with sharon that night . noah : faith is a child , okay ? she does n't understand . you just took her word ? you did n't even talk to my mom ? dylan : no , that 's why i came by -- to talk to her . noah : to question her ? were you trying to dig up some dirt on her while you -- while you 're smiling in her face ? you expect me to go along with this ? huh ? listen to me , i am -- i am sick of people lying to my mother , okay , and getting into her head . sharon : what ? what 's going on over here ? noah : um ... look , austin was murdered . sharon : wh - what are you talking about ? noah : yeah . it 's true . and dylan thinks you did it . sharon : austin was murdered ? courtney : what are you doing ? noah : i 'm just trying to clear things up for dylan here . sharon : a - and dylan , you think that i ... ? noah : look , somebody killed austin at abby 's valentine 's party . sharon : you saw ... noah : no . well , we were drugged and we were passed out . and we tried to cover it 'cause we were scared . but somebody 's been threatening us to keep quiet . sharon : noah , why did n't you tell me about this ? noah : because i did n't want to get you dragged into this conspiracy . but now people know that you gave that interview to austin . sharon : oh , my gosh . that message on my mirror . courtney : kyle wrote that . sharon : what ? why would he do that ? courtney : he wanted to see if you would react . sharon : they suspect me . noah : unlike kyle or summer or dylan , i know -- courtney : we . noah : we know that there 's no possible way you could have anything to do with austin 's death . sharon : well , thank you for believing in me , both of you . and dylan , for your information , um , i am innocent . i thought austin died in a car accident . courtney : sharon , i hate to ask this , but ... sharon : no , i - i - i wo n't say a word to anyone . i would never put either one of you at risk . okay , look , enough of this . you two better get out of here . you have a wedding to plan . noah : okay . what about you ? sharon : i think i have some things to discuss with dylan . [ door closes ] sharon : when ? dylan : i do n't -- i do n't know what you 're asking . sharon : i thought you were my friend . i want to know when that changed . dylan : it -- it has n't changed . sharon : you said that you were trying to help me and protect me . dylan : i was trying to . i am trying to help you . sharon : all this time , you 're trying to get me to confide in you . really , you did n't believe a word i was saying . dylan : have you told me the truth ? sharon : go to hell ! dylan : where were you that night ? sharon : i told you . you already know . dylan : no . faith said that she was in the woods with you . now , you never mentioned any detour when you were supposedly going to a hotel room . so exactly what were you doing out there ? joe : my mom dragged us to a shelter , and ... hid from my father , and that was the first time i went to sleep not afraid . yeah . they helped her find a job and eventually a home and then she -- she built us a great life . phyllis : avery did n't mention any of this . avery : well , it was n't my story to tell . and when joe and i were married , i thought that i understood . joe : well , you did . avery : no , i did n't . not until i found out our dad was n't the man i thought he was , and then i understood better what a father 's betrayal does . it cuts so deep . phyllis : it 's not the same type of abuse joe suffered . avery : no , it is n't , but you suffered , too . and i ca n't think of any greater pain than realizing you 're not safe , physically or emotionally , with the person that 's supposed to love you . jack : tell you what , joe . i am prepared to make a generous contribution to better days foundation . as well , phyllis and i are about to get married . how about we ask our family and friends to give to your foundation rather than giving us wedding gifts ? avery : [ chuckles ] joe : thank you , jack . avery : yes . thank you . that means so much to us . colin : look , son , i 'm just looking out for you . cane : you expect me to believe that , huh ? colin : i can understand you wanting to be higher up on the chancellor food chain . cane : where i should be . colin : the point is jill 's not gon na give you any more power . and for as long as you 've wanted to be head of chancellor , she 's wanted it longer . cane : so basically you 're telling me i should shut my mouth and have no input at chancellor even though it 's my input that has led the company to its recent success . is that what you 're telling me ? colin : if you can . cane : and let you become the official number two ? colin : [ chuckles ] cane : hell ... no . colin : look , i do n't need the title . you called it when you said i 've got my wife 's ear . cane : you played us both , did n't you ? colin : look , i do n't want things to get ugly between you and jill . and i do n't want you taking this stress home to your family . cane : so , what are you suggesting ? colin : find another company , one where you can reap the accolades , you can have the success that you deserve and desire . cane : i am not going anywhere . lauren : were n't you just in the middle of something with colin and cane ? jill : i think cane needs a break from me . lauren : really ? why ? jill : he did n't like it when i told him that he was being too sensitive about chancellor because of the problems in his marriage . lauren : sis , you know , when you hit a stumbling block in your marriage , it takes a while to get your footing again . jill : mm . lauren : he and lily are solid . they 'll get past this . jill : good . so , you and michael . lauren : i am happy to report that it looks like his treatments are a success . jill : oh , that 's wonderful ! lauren : is n't it ? jill : okay , so everything 's back to normal ? lauren : we 've had -- we 've had a rough couple days . jill : 'cause of the radiation ? lauren : that and work and he 's just -- he 's exhausted and ... you know what ? we -- we 're back on the road to normal . i know it . michael : you 're trying to talk about me to get yourself out of the hot seat . ha . well - played , brother . well - played . kevin : your move . michael : forget it . you 're not even listening to me anyway . and i 'm anxious to get to my wife for a well - deserved evening of celebration . kevin : you say that so sincerely . it 's almost like you believe it . michael : i 'm being honest , whereas you would n't know honesty if it hit you on the ... kevin : i saw the less - than - enthusiastic look on your face when lauren left . michael : you 're delusional . kevin : actually , no . i 'm having pretty serious déjà vu . this reminds me of when you failed to tell lauren about your cancer diagnosis . so what are you lying to your wife about this time ? cane : hey . lauren : hey . are you here for lily ? cane : uh , no . she 's in the meeting , so i 'm waiting . lauren : it 's a lot more fun to wait with a buddy . cane : well ... hello , buddy . lauren : [ chuckles ] cane : so , how are you ? lauren : um , better than you from what i hear . cane : oh . so you talked to jill . lauren : i did . cane : yeah . lauren : you know , you were nice enough to let me vent the other day about what michael and i are going through . if you want to talk about it , i 'm here . cane : thank you , but there 's only really two things i want right now , and that 's a cold beer and for this day to be over . lauren : let me help you with one of those , okay ? please , uh , could you get this man a cold beer ? [ chuckles ] michael : you 're accusing me of mistreating my wife ? kevin : well , that 's what you 're doing if you 're keeping things from her . you know , you should be doing the happy dance for the way the two of you have come through this . michael : it 's not over . kevin : okay , so you have n't gotten it all clear just yet , but like you said , after a few more treatments , you will . michael : even then , it wo n't be the same . i 'm not the same man i was before i found out i had cancer . kevin : nobody would be . this changes a person , but , michael , you have to talk to lauren about how you 're feeling . michael : i 've tried to . i have tried to tell her that i 've changed . but she refuses to see it , and by the time she does , it 'll be too late . kevin : well , too late for what ? michael : i do n't want us going through the motions , dancing around the painful reality . kevin : wh - what reality ? michael : that we can never get back to what we once were . kevin : then do n't try and go back . go forward . you still love lauren as much as you always have , right ? michael : god , yes . lauren 's happiness is the only thing that 's important . i owe her that . no matter what it takes . jack : so , you get me the information . i 'll see that the money is wired . avery : i 'll do that . phyllis : i 'll be right back . [ smooches ] lauren : hi , sweetheart . we 're seeing each other next week , right ? phyllis : absolutely . lauren : okay . see you then . cane : hey . joe : oh , i was just taking care of the bill . phyllis : oh , are you leaving ? joe : yeah , i need to get back to work , but i asked the waiter to set you and jack up with coffee , dessert , champagne , whatever . phyllis : well , that was thoughtful . joe : well , consider it a thank you for the sizable donation to my organization . phyllis : oh , i suspect you 'll have more generous donations . what you went through -- it has a powerful effect on people . joe : you think i 'm using my past to lure your soft - hearted sister away from dylan , huh ? phyllis : are you ? joe : avery was the first person i trusted to open up with about my past . she was the first woman to understand who i am . asking her to help me in this endeavor ... seems to be a natural fit . we have a deep bond . phyllis : very deep . the deepest . sharon : i was n't in the woods . dylan : where did you go ? sharon : i do n't have to explain myself to you . dylan : i ca n't help you unless you tell me everything , sharon . sharon : you do n't want to help me ! you 've been lying to me the whole time ! dylan : no , i 'm trying to solve this , and the more honest you are with me , the better -- sharon : fine , you want the truth ? i will tell you the truth . i had a panic attack . yeah . i was in the car , with my child in the back seat , hyperventilating . i felt like my heart was going to explode . dylan : faith did n't say that . sharon : well , faith fell asleep , and thank god , because ... [ sighs ] i just kept driving . i thought if i kept driving , maybe it would calm me down . dylan : but -- but with the storm , why -- sharon : why did n't i pull over ? i do n't know . because i was n't thinking clearly . it was hard enough just trying to breathe . dylan : where did you go ? faith must have woken up at some point , because she said she was in a wooded area . unless you 're saying that faith made that up . sharon : all right . you got me , dylan . you know , i really did n't expect that faith would ruin this for me . yeah , i drove to the abbott cabin and i murdered austin because he refused to delete that interview i gave him about nick . but i did n't want to leave the body laying there , though . that was too messy . and there was a snowstorm outside , my child was in the back seat of my car , but i figured , `` hey , i 'm gon na use my superhuman strength and drag austin 's body out of the cabin into the car and make it look like he was in a car accident . `` is that what you want me to say ? it is , is n't it ? is n't it ? ! dylan : sharon , come on . sharon : is n't it ? ! you think i 'm crazy . why do n't you just admit it ? jack : no , i 'm glad i came . phyllis : oh , after i wrangled you into this ? jack : well , it feels good to do something good for the world . how you feeling about joe 's intentions regarding your sister ? phyllis : oh , i was right . he wants her back . jack : well , that ca n't happen . she 's engaged to dylan . phyllis : and i do not doubt she loves him very much . jack : but you think she 's still distracted by joe . phyllis : i think my sister is a sucker for the underdog , and he knew she could n't resist helping him fight for something that means so much to him . jack : well , you 're her sister . you could warn her . phyllis : ah , she wo n't listen . if avery 's not careful , she will find herself drawn back to joe quicker than she realizes . joe : well , i could n't have done it without you . avery : your story convinced them . joe : yes , but you being there helped me tell it . avery : joe , you have the ability to get into people 's hearts and make them understand that this cause can change lives . you 're gon na help so many women and children with this charity . joe : thank you . avery : okay . i should go . joe : yeah . sweet dreams . you deserve them . avery : good night . joe : good night . kevin : why would you guys want to talk about the investigation tonight ? you 're getting married tomorrow . noah : well , [ clears throat ] we saw my mom . courtney : and we told her about austin 's murder . kevin : how many people are we gon na bring into this ? noah : had to be done . courtney : i 'm the one who insisted on this meeting . i ca n't stop thinking about accessing the department 's surveillance cameras . noah : wait , that 's why you wanted to see him ? courtney : yeah , noah , if we can just figure out why austin was following jack that night in chancellor park , then maybe we can just shut this all down before our wedding . noah : it can wait . courtney -- courtney : i ca n't let this go . i know that it makes you uncomfortable , and i understand . i -- noah : no . kevin got caught . and he 's a genius with computers . now , you try this and you could get kicked off the force . and paul 's gon na be asking a bunch of questions that we do n't want him asking . kevin : actually , thanks to my epic fail , i could help courtney avoid getting caught . courtney : you can help me access the footage without bumping into firewalls ? kevin : yeah . yeah , i 've got it all figured out . sharon : get the hell out . dylan : come on , sharon . i 'm just trying to sort out what happened . sharon : well , i do n't know what happened because i was n't at the abbott cabin that night . dylan : [ sighs ] sharon : i did not kill austin . i 'm not some horrible monster . dylan : i know . i know that . i know you 're not . but i also know firsthand that things can get out of control . sharon : well , i would never lose it like that . to think that you would even wonder if i could take that young man 's life and -- and while my daughter 's asleep in the car ... did you talk to nick about this ? dylan : no . no , of course not . sharon : what about any of the other kids ? dylan : no . i would n't do that to you . sharon : because if nick found out about this -- dylan : no , i 'm certain that nick does n't know about it . and i understand why you would n't want him to hear it . [ sighs ] the kids saw your interview about nick on austin 's computer . they told me what you said . sharon : and you think that 's a possible motive for the murder . that 's what you 're thinking , are n't you ? you are . you think i killed austin to protect nick 's secret so that i could use it for leverage . dylan : i know how desperate you are to keep faith in your life . this looks bad . it looks real bad , sharon . jill : so you asked cane to step aside ? colin : i want my wife and my son to succeed . besides , he 'd be better off if he 's not in your shadow , and , well , you do n't need the help . jill : so , how did he take it ? colin : he understood . jill : oh , colin . colin : yeah . prepare for battle . when my son wants something , he goes after it . jill : you know , i expected that this day would come , but i am not worried .

frank : yeah , i 'll give you something . hey patrick , whatever happened to until innocent until proven guilty ? ross : frank , you 've already got two strikes against you , all right . there 's the physical evidence frank : motive ? what to protect darci ? she told me herself her involvement with salerno and green . ross : frank , how many times in your career have you been in as situation where you 've had to arrest somebody that you know and respect ? maybe you even loved ? frank : many times . what exactly are you saying , ross ? ross : all i 'm saying is that 's a tough spot to be in . and if you found yourself in that situation vis - à - vis the woman you love and in a moment of weakness you happen to make a mistake would you tell me ? just talk to me about it , frank , and together we could get you out of this . frank : what exactly are you asking me to do ? you 're asking me to confess or to lie ? phillip : is n't that what you want for her ? phillip : any time in the afternoon is fine . yep , i 'll wait to hear from you . olivia : you know if bill is giving me the cold shoulder , it 's your fault . you 're the one who told him to keep his distance from me for the sake of our blissful marriage . i 'm amazed you got the words out with straight face . phillip : olivia , i have great respect for marriage . without it , we 'd just be two parents hating each other . with it , we hate each other with a purpose . olivia : so our daughter will inherit the earth and everything in it . phillip : is n't that what you want for her ? olivia : i thought the meek shall inherit the earth ? phillip : we both know that only the meek believe that . lewis is a threat . so i want you to get close to bill and find out everything that 's he 's up to . i do n't care how . jeffrey : the only reason i 'm calling you is to make sure you have n't flown your gilded cage , and to remind you of our deal . if you do n't stop impersonating cassíe winslow , your relative freedom will be short lived . dinah : and did you tell me that while you here ? because really i can only remember you kissing me . jeffrey : no more games , dinah . i gave you a new lease on life . i suggest you take advantage of it . dinah : look i will do what you want me to do if you do one little bitty thing for me . jeffrey : what ?

cassie : well , these are a bunch of magazines that mommy bought with a lot of crazy stories in them . rj : read me a story . cassie : i do n't think you want to hear any of these stories . but i can tell you a story . you want me to tell you a story ? come on , here . okay . i 'm going to tell you a story about a little boy who lived on a farm . a little boy who lived on a farm and a beautiful princess appeared . do you remember when mommy used to be a princess when she lived in san cristobal ? rj : mm - hmm . cassie : remember when we lived in the palace ? yeah . okay , so the princess appeared and she had wonderful stories to tell about all the fancy places she had been and all the famous she 'd met . and she got to ride around in a big , beautiful silver car with a chauffeur , of course . and she got to wear beautiful evening gowns just like the ones that mommy got to wear when she was a princess . and she had shiny magical shoes , a beautiful cape , a beautiful red cape . rj : like that one ? cassie : what do you mean like this one ? let me see that . oh , my gosh , rj . you 're right . there she is . there 's the princess . cassie : well , you 're right , rj . there 's the princess . and the beautiful red cape courtesy of mommy . the way that picture 's taken i ca n't see her face . can you see her face ? rj : mm - mm . cassie : me neither . hmm . edmund : ice cream at this hour ? now who told you could have that young man ? oh , well , she told you that , did she ? well , i guess she 's right , because mommy 's knows best . cassie : yes . edmund : hello . cassie : hello , there . so how are you ? edmund : well ... thank you . cassie : what are you doing here ? edmund : i 've come to collect you for our date . cassie : oh , is it that time ? edmund : yes , it is . cassie : i 'm sorry . we 've been all about monkey bars and ice cream . ( laughs ) rj : and stories . edmund : ooh , stories . well , i love a good story . what stories has your mother been telling you ? rj : a princess with a cape . edmund : a princess with a cape . and here i thought your mother had finished with the princess stories . cassie : rj likes fairytales . edmund : i see . cassie : come on , sweetie . are n't you coming ? edmund : oh , yes , i think i am . dinah : ( screaming ) jeffrey : now is that anyway to treat someone who 's here to help you , dinah ? dinah : you 're american . who are you ? jeffrey : well , let 's just say i work for the united states government and i have a proposal for you . dinah : what sort of proposal ? jeffrey : oh , the normal kind . you see , i need a wife . dinah : you want to marry me ? jeffrey : that 's right . as soon as possible . dinah : why do n't you tell me what stole your heart finally ? my glamorous looks or my incredible environment here ? jeffrey : you could have both . with the right hair , with the right make - up . a manicure . dinah : okay . change of scenery might be nice . jeffrey : well , that goes without saying . dinah : and the right husband , of course . jeffrey : you know with the right coaching , miss marler , i think we could pass you off as royalty . dinah : royalty . okay . well , i think ... well , that might be the wildest line i 'd ever heard . and i 've heard plenty . jeffrey : it 's not a line , dinah . i could be your savior if you let me . dinah : i 'm listening . edmund : well , if it is n't our illustrious district attorney . jeffrey : edmund . edmund : let 's have a status report , mr. o'neill . jeffrey : on what ? edmund : on the woman who 's been impersonating cassíe . have you found her yet ? olivia : wow . so you decided to trash the place a second time , did you ? bill : if you 're looking for a power lunch , all i got is cold beer and cold cuts . olivia : that 's fine with me . i 'm plenty hot already . bill : yeah , well , what are you doing here , olivia ? i thought i made it clear , i 'm not looking for a partner , in or out of bed . olivia : why is that again ? bill : too many complications . like your husband . olivia : oh , my husband . look , i thought i told you i 'm married in name only . bill : yeah , well , somebody better clue in phillip . olivia : are you kidding me ? he 's knows . he 's just yanking your chain and you fell for it . no , really , i thought you 'd be a little less impressionable . bill : yeah . olivia : all right . let 's just ... forget about the sex . i mean , it 's highly overrated . not with me it is n't , but there are other ways we can work together , okay ? we 'll be a good fit . bill : well , if i 'm looking for a good fit , i 'll go see my tailor . ( laughs ) now do n't let the door hit you on the way out . olivia : you know , i would leave right now if i did n't know how desperately you needed me . ( laughs ) ross : no , frank , i do n't want you to lie . but if salerno was threatening you or worse yet he was threatening or blackmailing darci ... come here . listen to me , if that 's what happened any decent attorney could get you out of this with your pension intact . frank : i 'm not looking for a way out , ross . ross : frank , you need to think about it . frank : no , i do n't need to think about it . do i love darci ? yes . do i want to protect her ? yes . did i turn my back so salerno could smuggle his drugs into this town ? no . did i steal a non - existent file to hide darcy 's connection to salerno and green ? no . harley : ross , maybe you should just go . ross : i have physical evidence and i have a motive . it 's now out of my hands . i have to see this through . harley : i got something i want to run by you . do you think darci has any idea who ... frank : i want to keep darci out of this . harley : okay , but if she has an idea , that could be a lead for us to follow . frank : i want her to stay out . what next ? harley : let 's talk about motive . clearly you were targeted for obvious reasons . because you would n't close the delirium case , because you wanted to tie up all the loose ends . frank : you do n't have to do this . harley : who stands to gain the most by getting you out of the picture so that you ca n't ask anymore questions ? not vinnie salerno . he 's already in vailsburg . not brad green . he 's dead . so it has to be somebody who 's still here who has a vested interest in making this case go away . and that means it has to be somebody named spaulding . jeremy : i told you , mrs. spaulding left for the spa . gus : alex . how was the spa ? have a mud bath ? feel refreshed and glowy ? alexandra : very funny , very funny . i am running late though , and i 'm going to be there for one day . i 'll be back tomorrow . we can chat . gus : you did n't return my phone calls . alexandra : i know and i 'm sorry , but we can talk tomorrow . gus : no , no , you ca n't leave like this right before my wedding . you 've got things to do . you 've got to pick out the right cake . you 've got to pick out the right champagne . you 've got to pick out the right phony evidence to plant in frank coopers briefcase so you could destroy his life instead of yours . wait a second , you did that already , did n't you ? coming up on `` guiding light . `` gus : it 's not good enough for you to get away with something , but you 've got to make sure that somebody else takes the fall for you , right ? alexandra : i had no choice . i did n't have a choice . ross : frank , something 's come up . harley : they woke up and realized they did n't have a case ? ross : no , they have a case and it looks like it 's iron clad . alexandra : all right , gus , i know you 're upset that frank cooper was suspended , but how , and why , do you think i possibly to do with it ? gus : no , i do n't think it . i know it . you had motive , you had an opportunity , and you had means . and as acting chief of police , i think it 's time i brought you in . let 's go . harley : i 've been thinking about it . and what if in the seconds right before he went to meet his makers , when he whispered the words `` god free , `` brad green was trying to name his accomplice . frank : but you told me that you spoke to marie green , and she said that brad green did not have an accomplice . harley : yeah , well , maybe marie lied . maybe brad lied to her . frank : harley , come on . harley : but if brad green did have an accomplish other than vinnie salerno , it had to be somebody at spaulding . frank : maybe . harley : and not just at spaulding , a spaulding . meaning either alexandra or alan . my bets on alex . frank : okay , which is exactly why i want you to stay away from this . harley : what ? why ? frank : because i have plenty of time now on my suspension to pursue the situation , and i want you to continue to plan your wedding . harley : no , no , frank . frank : we are talking about gus ' family here , your future in - laws , and i do not want my situation to interfere with your wedding or to come between you and gus . do you understand me ? harley : frank , it 's okay . frank : harley , it is not okay . if alan or alexandra are involved here , i will make sure that they regret it . but until then , little sister , i want you to stay out of it . alexandra : gus , if you turn me in now , you will be making one huge mistake . so just stay quiet . will you get married . let this investigation take its course , and i assure you by the time you and harley celebrate your first anniversary , it 'll be long forgotten . gus : you do n't understand , do you ? he 's going to be my best man at my wedding . the guy 's he 's my commanding officer and he 's my friend . but you do n't care about any of that , do you , mrs. godfrey ? alexandra : oh , keep your voice down . the servants . gus : what if he ca n't pay his mortgage ? did you ever think about that ? what if he ca n't pay marina 's tuition ? what if he ends up in prison ? but you do n't care about any of that stuff , because his life means nothing compared to yours , right ? the great alexandra spaulding . well , let me tell you something , okay . his life means something to me . why ? because it means even that much more to the woman that i love . so i am done with you . i am done protecting you , and i 'm not going to let you do it to frank cooper . frank : i wo n't let you do this to gus . harley : gus wants justice done as much as i do . frank : really ? and what happens when he finds out that maybe his entire family is involved here ? that they 're the bad guys . i do n't think so . harley : when that time comes , if that time comes , gus will just do what he has to do . alexandra : so where do your loyalties lie ? gus : my loyalties ? my loyalties lie with harley , okay . before you or alan or anybody else . alexandra : all right then you 're absolutely right , gus . you should tell her the truth . definitely . you tell her the truth . you tell her how you lied to protect alan and me . and you tell her how kind you were to warn me that was frank was on trial . he was getting far too close . and he was not going to rest until he brought me down . you tell her how you prodded and pushed and scared me to death until i had no choice except to discredit frank before he destroyed us . and , yes , i mean us , gus . because we 're co - conspirators . remember that ? you tell her because i 'm sure that will sit very well with harley . harley : i do n't know if i can do that . i do n't know if i can just stay out of it . ross : frank , something 's come up . harley : let me guess . ia woke up and realized they did n't have a case ? ross : no , they have a case and it looks like it 's iron clad . bill : what are you doing ? olivia : i 'm going to help you . bill : well , i asked you to leave . olivia : yeah , but you did n't mean that . bill : no , i meant it . olivia : no , you did n't . look , i 'm going to go ... one more time . here 's the deal . it 's ... bill : we 'd be great together . yeah , yeah . blah , blah , blah , blah . olivia : well , we would , you know . and as much you could use a roll in the hay with me , and believe me you could . you 've been very uptight these days . i think what you need more right now is a friend . and i need a friend , too , all right ? if you have n't noticed , i do n't have that many of them . bill : really ? well , you do got a husband ? olivia : well , you know , i really prefer to forget that he exists . bill : yet , he does . ( phone rings ) oh , i bet you 20 bucks that 's him right now . olivia : it 's a good thing i did n't take that bet . what ? phillip : just wanted to see how you 're day was going ? whether or not you 're keeping up your end of the bargain . olivia : i 'm having a lovely day . thank you . i took several thousand breaths , and then i stopped for an ice coffee with two sugars . any more details you need to know ? phillip : just answer the question . bill : take it in the hall . phillip : never mind . i knew you 'd come through for me . see you soon . olivia : not if i kill ... no see you first . goodness . does n't that sound like a happy marriage ? the man is nothing but hideous to me . bill : well , you hurt him . olivia : he hurt me first . bill : yeah , well , i feel for you , olivia . i really , really do . but there 's no way i 'm getting in the middle of this marriage . olivia : it 's a failed marriage . bill : whatever it is , i do n't care . just not my scene . you 're on your own . olivia : yeah , well , you 're on your own . you 're already screwing it up . yeah , nice wall , bill . bill : what 's wrong with it ? olivia : what 's wrong with it ? bill : yeah . olivia : nothing , nothing if you like to hide squirrels behind your wallpaper . bill : what are you talking about ? that 's fine . olivia : oh , it 's fine . yeah , of course it is . bubbles . bubbles lewis . it 's a dancer 's name . bill : are you talking about this right here ? are you talking about this right here ? that 's texture . olivia : that 's not texture . that 's mr. construction 's in way over his head . it 's a two man job . it 's a two man ... you 're one man . you 're a sloppy man . bill : what are you talking about ? i am not sloppy . olivia : well , you certainly have an interesting idea about accessorizing . jeffrey : oh , you know , the status on cassie 's identity theft problem is that i have people working on it , edmund . edmund : i thought you said you were handling this personally . jeffrey : edmund , i am the district attorney , okay . i have other cases on my plate besides this one . cassie : okay , well , i 'm going to take rj to mrs. chitwood . you guys , behave yourselves , okay . edmund : mr. o'neill ? jeffrey : mm - hmm . edmund : the only reason cassíe has dropped her investigation of this woman is because you told her you would handle it . jeffrey : i have handled it . edmund : you have ? you 've found the woman who 's been impersonating cassíe ? jeffrey : interpol has informed that they 've located her . they 're about to make an arrest soon . that is if nobody spooks her first . notice how i emphasize the word `` if . `` edmund : well , cassíe has promised me she 'd stay out of it . jeffrey : ( laughs ) and you believe her ? edmund : of course , i believe her . i know cassíe . jeffrey : you know cassíe . well , you know what ? i think i know cassíe better than you do . oh , look there 's her purse . and i 'll bet you anything that 's in this purse , that i know her better than you do . edmund : my god , man , you ca n't be serious . you fully expect me to go through cassie 's purse ? jeffrey : no , i guess not . no , no , i think you should stick your head in the sand . that 's the key to a good relationship . edmund : if cassíe says she has given up her investigation of this woman , then cassíe has given up her investigation of this woman . besides we both saw her canceling and cut up her credit cards . jeffrey : yes , we did , we saw that . and edmund you believe what you have to believe , okay . edmund : i 'm only doing this to wipe the smirk off your face . jeffrey : i know . oh , what 's this ? look at this . a little light reading , huh ? hmm . cassie : well , there 's no blood on the floor . jeffrey : all right , blame me . i totally put him up to this . i 'm sorry . anyway , edmund , i 'm doing my job . you do yours , hmm . bill : all right the truth . how long was wallpaper on my butt ? olivia : since i walked in . it 's really hard to take anything you say seriously . and i do mean anything . bill : no , no , no . we 're not going there . i told you i 'm flying solo these days . in all aspects of my life . olivia : oh . so you 've got some trust issues ? bill : burn scars from past partnerships . olivia : yeah , me , too . look third degree . bill : mm . olivia : on the hand , we do have to get this room finished . and as much as i think that the paper was cute where it was stuck , that might ruin your credibility in this business . you 've got some ... bill : what ? olivia : something on your cheek . bill : oh , yeah ? olivia : yeah , it 's all over you . it 's all down your neck . you know what ? i 'll paste if you hang . bill : i 'll tell you what . i 'll paste and you hang .

what to protect darci ? she told me herself her involvement with salerno and green . ross : frank , how many times in your career have you been in as situation where you 've had to arrest somebody that you know and respect ? maybe you even loved ? frank : many times . what exactly are you saying , ross ? ross : all i 'm saying is that 's a tough spot to be in . and if you found yourself in that situation vis - à - vis the woman you love and in a moment of weakness you happen to make a mistake would you tell me ? just talk to me about it , frank , and together we could get you out of this . frank : what exactly are you asking me to do ? you 're asking me to confess or to lie ? phillip : is n't that what you want for her ? phillip : any time in the afternoon is fine . yep , i 'll wait to hear from you . olivia : you know if bill is giving me the cold shoulder , it 's your fault . you 're the one who told him to keep his distance from me for the sake of our blissful marriage . i 'm amazed you got the words out with straight face . phillip : olivia , i have great respect for marriage . without it , we 'd just be two parents hating each other . with it , we hate each other with a purpose . olivia : so our daughter will inherit the earth and everything in it . phillip : is n't that what you want for her ? olivia : i thought the meek shall inherit the earth ? phillip : we both know that only the meek believe that . lewis is a threat . so i want you to get close to bill and find out everything that 's he 's up to . i do n't care how . jeffrey : the only reason i 'm calling you is to make sure you have n't flown your gilded cage , and to remind you of our deal . if you do n't stop impersonating cassíe winslow , your relative freedom will be short lived . dinah : and did you tell me that while you here ?

cassie : well , these are a bunch of magazines that mommy bought with a lot of crazy stories in them . rj : read me a story . cassie : i do n't think you want to hear any of these stories . but i can tell you a story . you want me to tell you a story ? come on , here . okay . i 'm going to tell you a story about a little boy who lived on a farm . a little boy who lived on a farm and a beautiful princess appeared . do you remember when mommy used to be a princess when she lived in san cristobal ? rj : mm - hmm . cassie : remember when we lived in the palace ? yeah . okay , so the princess appeared and she had wonderful stories to tell about all the fancy places she had been and all the famous she 'd met . and she got to ride around in a big , beautiful silver car with a chauffeur , of course . and she got to wear beautiful evening gowns just like the ones that mommy got to wear when she was a princess . and she had shiny magical shoes , a beautiful cape , a beautiful red cape . rj : like that one ? cassie : what do you mean like this one ? let me see that . oh , my gosh , rj . you 're right . there she is . there 's the princess . cassie : well , you 're right , rj . there 's the princess . and the beautiful red cape courtesy of mommy . the way that picture 's taken i ca n't see her face . can you see her face ? rj : mm - mm . cassie : me neither . hmm . edmund : ice cream at this hour ? now who told you could have that young man ? oh , well , she told you that , did she ? well , i guess she 's right , because mommy 's knows best . cassie : yes . edmund : hello . cassie : hello , there . so how are you ? edmund : well ... thank you . cassie : what are you doing here ? edmund : i 've come to collect you for our date . cassie : oh , is it that time ? edmund : yes , it is . cassie : i 'm sorry . we 've been all about monkey bars and ice cream . ( laughs ) rj : and stories . edmund : ooh , stories . well , i love a good story . what stories has your mother been telling you ? rj : a princess with a cape . edmund : a princess with a cape . and here i thought your mother had finished with the princess stories . cassie : rj likes fairytales . edmund : i see . cassie : come on , sweetie . are n't you coming ? edmund : oh , yes , i think i am . dinah : ( screaming ) jeffrey : now is that anyway to treat someone who 's here to help you , dinah ? dinah : you 're american . who are you ? jeffrey : well , let 's just say i work for the united states government and i have a proposal for you . dinah : what sort of proposal ? jeffrey : oh , the normal kind . you see , i need a wife . dinah : you want to marry me ? jeffrey : that 's right . as soon as possible . dinah : why do n't you tell me what stole your heart finally ? my glamorous looks or my incredible environment here ? jeffrey : you could have both . with the right hair , with the right make - up . a manicure . dinah : okay . change of scenery might be nice . jeffrey : well , that goes without saying . dinah : and the right husband , of course . jeffrey : you know with the right coaching , miss marler , i think we could pass you off as royalty . dinah : royalty . okay . well , i think ... well , that might be the wildest line i 'd ever heard . and i 've heard plenty . jeffrey : it 's not a line , dinah . i could be your savior if you let me . dinah : i 'm listening . edmund : well , if it is n't our illustrious district attorney . jeffrey : edmund . edmund : let 's have a status report , mr. o'neill . jeffrey : on what ? edmund : on the woman who 's been impersonating cassíe . have you found her yet ? olivia : wow . so you decided to trash the place a second time , did you ? bill : if you 're looking for a power lunch , all i got is cold beer and cold cuts . olivia : that 's fine with me . i 'm plenty hot already . bill : yeah , well , what are you doing here , olivia ? i thought i made it clear , i 'm not looking for a partner , in or out of bed . olivia : why is that again ? bill : too many complications . like your husband . olivia : oh , my husband . look , i thought i told you i 'm married in name only . bill : yeah , well , somebody better clue in phillip . olivia : are you kidding me ? he 's knows . he 's just yanking your chain and you fell for it . no , really , i thought you 'd be a little less impressionable . bill : yeah . olivia : all right . let 's just ... forget about the sex . i mean , it 's highly overrated . not with me it is n't , but there are other ways we can work together , okay ? we 'll be a good fit . bill : well , if i 'm looking for a good fit , i 'll go see my tailor . ( laughs ) now do n't let the door hit you on the way out . olivia : you know , i would leave right now if i did n't know how desperately you needed me . ( laughs ) ross : no , frank , i do n't want you to lie . but if salerno was threatening you or worse yet he was threatening or blackmailing darci ... come here . listen to me , if that 's what happened any decent attorney could get you out of this with your pension intact . frank : i 'm not looking for a way out , ross . ross : frank , you need to think about it . frank : no , i do n't need to think about it . do i love darci ? yes . do i want to protect her ? yes . did i turn my back so salerno could smuggle his drugs into this town ? no . did i steal a non - existent file to hide darcy 's connection to salerno and green ? no . harley : ross , maybe you should just go . ross : i have physical evidence and i have a motive . it 's now out of my hands . i have to see this through . harley : i got something i want to run by you . do you think darci has any idea who ... frank : i want to keep darci out of this . harley : okay , but if she has an idea , that could be a lead for us to follow . frank : i want her to stay out . what next ? harley : let 's talk about motive . clearly you were targeted for obvious reasons . because you would n't close the delirium case , because you wanted to tie up all the loose ends . frank : you do n't have to do this . harley : who stands to gain the most by getting you out of the picture so that you ca n't ask anymore questions ? not vinnie salerno . he 's already in vailsburg . not brad green . he 's dead . so it has to be somebody who 's still here who has a vested interest in making this case go away . and that means it has to be somebody named spaulding . jeremy : i told you , mrs. spaulding left for the spa . gus : alex . how was the spa ? have a mud bath ? feel refreshed and glowy ? alexandra : very funny , very funny . i am running late though , and i 'm going to be there for one day . i 'll be back tomorrow . we can chat . gus : you did n't return my phone calls . alexandra : i know and i 'm sorry , but we can talk tomorrow . gus : no , no , you ca n't leave like this right before my wedding . you 've got things to do . you 've got to pick out the right cake . you 've got to pick out the right champagne . you 've got to pick out the right phony evidence to plant in frank coopers briefcase so you could destroy his life instead of yours . wait a second , you did that already , did n't you ? coming up on `` guiding light . `` gus : it 's not good enough for you to get away with something , but you 've got to make sure that somebody else takes the fall for you , right ? alexandra : i had no choice . i did n't have a choice . ross : frank , something 's come up . harley : they woke up and realized they did n't have a case ? ross : no , they have a case and it looks like it 's iron clad . alexandra : all right , gus , i know you 're upset that frank cooper was suspended , but how , and why , do you think i possibly to do with it ? gus : no , i do n't think it . i know it . you had motive , you had an opportunity , and you had means . and as acting chief of police , i think it 's time i brought you in . let 's go . harley : i 've been thinking about it . and what if in the seconds right before he went to meet his makers , when he whispered the words `` god free , `` brad green was trying to name his accomplice . frank : but you told me that you spoke to marie green , and she said that brad green did not have an accomplice . harley : yeah , well , maybe marie lied . maybe brad lied to her . frank : harley , come on . harley : but if brad green did have an accomplish other than vinnie salerno , it had to be somebody at spaulding . frank : maybe . harley : and not just at spaulding , a spaulding . meaning either alexandra or alan . my bets on alex . frank : okay , which is exactly why i want you to stay away from this . harley : what ? why ? frank : because i have plenty of time now on my suspension to pursue the situation , and i want you to continue to plan your wedding . harley : no , no , frank . frank : we are talking about gus ' family here , your future in - laws , and i do not want my situation to interfere with your wedding or to come between you and gus . do you understand me ? harley : frank , it 's okay . frank : harley , it is not okay . if alan or alexandra are involved here , i will make sure that they regret it . but until then , little sister , i want you to stay out of it . alexandra : gus , if you turn me in now , you will be making one huge mistake . so just stay quiet . will you get married . let this investigation take its course , and i assure you by the time you and harley celebrate your first anniversary , it 'll be long forgotten . gus : you do n't understand , do you ? he 's going to be my best man at my wedding . the guy 's he 's my commanding officer and he 's my friend . but you do n't care about any of that , do you , mrs. godfrey ? alexandra : oh , keep your voice down . the servants . gus : what if he ca n't pay his mortgage ? did you ever think about that ? what if he ca n't pay marina 's tuition ? what if he ends up in prison ? but you do n't care about any of that stuff , because his life means nothing compared to yours , right ? the great alexandra spaulding . well , let me tell you something , okay . his life means something to me . why ? because it means even that much more to the woman that i love . so i am done with you . i am done protecting you , and i 'm not going to let you do it to frank cooper . frank : i wo n't let you do this to gus . harley : gus wants justice done as much as i do . frank : really ? and what happens when he finds out that maybe his entire family is involved here ? that they 're the bad guys . i do n't think so . harley : when that time comes , if that time comes , gus will just do what he has to do . alexandra : so where do your loyalties lie ? gus : my loyalties ? my loyalties lie with harley , okay . before you or alan or anybody else . alexandra : all right then you 're absolutely right , gus . you should tell her the truth . definitely . you tell her the truth . you tell her how you lied to protect alan and me . and you tell her how kind you were to warn me that was frank was on trial . he was getting far too close . and he was not going to rest until he brought me down . you tell her how you prodded and pushed and scared me to death until i had no choice except to discredit frank before he destroyed us . and , yes , i mean us , gus . because we 're co - conspirators . remember that ? you tell her because i 'm sure that will sit very well with harley . harley : i do n't know if i can do that . i do n't know if i can just stay out of it . ross : frank , something 's come up . harley : let me guess . ia woke up and realized they did n't have a case ? ross : no , they have a case and it looks like it 's iron clad . bill : what are you doing ? olivia : i 'm going to help you . bill : well , i asked you to leave . olivia : yeah , but you did n't mean that . bill : no , i meant it . olivia : no , you did n't . look , i 'm going to go ... one more time . here 's the deal . it 's ... bill : we 'd be great together . yeah , yeah . blah , blah , blah , blah . olivia : well , we would , you know . and as much you could use a roll in the hay with me , and believe me you could . you 've been very uptight these days . i think what you need more right now is a friend . and i need a friend , too , all right ? if you have n't noticed , i do n't have that many of them . bill : really ? well , you do got a husband ? olivia : well , you know , i really prefer to forget that he exists . bill : yet , he does . ( phone rings ) oh , i bet you 20 bucks that 's him right now . olivia : it 's a good thing i did n't take that bet . what ? phillip : just wanted to see how you 're day was going ? whether or not you 're keeping up your end of the bargain . olivia : i 'm having a lovely day . thank you . i took several thousand breaths , and then i stopped for an ice coffee with two sugars . any more details you need to know ? phillip : just answer the question . bill : take it in the hall . phillip : never mind . i knew you 'd come through for me . see you soon . olivia : not if i kill ... no see you first . goodness . does n't that sound like a happy marriage ? the man is nothing but hideous to me . bill : well , you hurt him . olivia : he hurt me first . bill : yeah , well , i feel for you , olivia . i really , really do . but there 's no way i 'm getting in the middle of this marriage . olivia : it 's a failed marriage . bill : whatever it is , i do n't care . just not my scene . you 're on your own . olivia : yeah , well , you 're on your own . you 're already screwing it up . yeah , nice wall , bill . bill : what 's wrong with it ? olivia : what 's wrong with it ? bill : yeah . olivia : nothing , nothing if you like to hide squirrels behind your wallpaper . bill : what are you talking about ? that 's fine . olivia : oh , it 's fine . yeah , of course it is . bubbles . bubbles lewis . it 's a dancer 's name . bill : are you talking about this right here ? are you talking about this right here ? that 's texture . olivia : that 's not texture . that 's mr. construction 's in way over his head . it 's a two man job . it 's a two man ... you 're one man . you 're a sloppy man . bill : what are you talking about ? i am not sloppy . olivia : well , you certainly have an interesting idea about accessorizing . jeffrey : oh , you know , the status on cassie 's identity theft problem is that i have people working on it , edmund . edmund : i thought you said you were handling this personally . jeffrey : edmund , i am the district attorney , okay . i have other cases on my plate besides this one . cassie : okay , well , i 'm going to take rj to mrs. chitwood . you guys , behave yourselves , okay . edmund : mr. o'neill ? jeffrey : mm - hmm . edmund : the only reason cassíe has dropped her investigation of this woman is because you told her you would handle it . jeffrey : i have handled it . edmund : you have ? you 've found the woman who 's been impersonating cassíe ? jeffrey : interpol has informed that they 've located her . they 're about to make an arrest soon . that is if nobody spooks her first . notice how i emphasize the word `` if . `` edmund : well , cassíe has promised me she 'd stay out of it . jeffrey : ( laughs ) and you believe her ? edmund : of course , i believe her . i know cassíe . jeffrey : you know cassíe . well , you know what ? i think i know cassíe better than you do . oh , look there 's her purse . and i 'll bet you anything that 's in this purse , that i know her better than you do . edmund : my god , man , you ca n't be serious . you fully expect me to go through cassie 's purse ? jeffrey : no , i guess not . no , no , i think you should stick your head in the sand . that 's the key to a good relationship . edmund : if cassíe says she has given up her investigation of this woman , then cassíe has given up her investigation of this woman . besides we both saw her canceling and cut up her credit cards . jeffrey : yes , we did , we saw that . and edmund you believe what you have to believe , okay . edmund : i 'm only doing this to wipe the smirk off your face . jeffrey : i know . oh , what 's this ? look at this . a little light reading , huh ? hmm . cassie : well , there 's no blood on the floor . jeffrey : all right , blame me . i totally put him up to this . i 'm sorry . anyway , edmund , i 'm doing my job . you do yours , hmm . bill : all right the truth . how long was wallpaper on my butt ? olivia : since i walked in . it 's really hard to take anything you say seriously . and i do mean anything . bill : no , no , no . we 're not going there . i told you i 'm flying solo these days . in all aspects of my life . olivia : oh . so you 've got some trust issues ? bill : burn scars from past partnerships . olivia : yeah , me , too . look third degree . bill : mm . olivia : on the hand , we do have to get this room finished . and as much as i think that the paper was cute where it was stuck , that might ruin your credibility in this business . you 've got some ... bill : what ? olivia : something on your cheek . bill : oh , yeah ? olivia : yeah , it 's all over you . it 's all down your neck . you know what ? i 'll paste if you hang . bill : i 'll tell you what . i 'll paste and you hang . ( laughter ) olivia : knock yourself out .

carlos : sabrina ? julian : you 're in a mood . pregnancy hormones , or you worried about our boss ? ava : now , do n't be smug , julian . if ... not - luke turns on me , he 'll go after my entire family . what makes you think he 'll stop with kiki ? he could just as easily make your son and daughter his targets . julian : i tried to warn you . man 's no one to mess with . ava : yes , fine , julian . you warned me , and i did n't listen . i brought this all down on myself . it does n't change the fact that he 's a threat to us both . julian : well , all you had to do was take out corinthos iii just like the man asked . ava : and clear the way for that pervert to sexually harass my daughter again ? not a chance in hell . julian : well , then , you 're right back to where you started . you have to give our boss something he wants more than he wants michael dead . evidence against sonny . ava : i 'm trying . just have to get franco to play ball . silas : franco , wait up . hey , i 'm talking to you . franco : yeah , i can hear you . silas : you share this attitude with your art students ? franco : uh , no , i 'm interested in my art students . you , not so much . silas : well , do n't worry . things are gon na get real interesting . i need to talk to you . franco : silas , what could you and i possibly have to talk about . silas : let 's talk about nina . nina : it was serendipity . i need an ob / gyn , and my instant cousin just happens to be one . britt : [ chuckles ] well , i 'm glad you thought of me . nina : well , you get extra points if you tell me i 'm pregnant . britt : do you have reason to believe you might be expecting ? nina : two reasons . last night and this morning . nikolas : you think i chose britt ? elizabeth : well , did n't you ? nikolas : i told her that i still have feelings for you . elizabeth : i 'm sorry . what ? nikolas : i made it absolutely clear to britt that i still have feelings for you . dante : unknown . [ cell phone rings ] dante : falconeri . lulu : dante . oh , my god , dante , it 's me . dante : lulu ? lulu , lulu , is that you ? lulu : yeah . how 's my baby ? how 's rocco ? dante : uh , rocco 's fine . he 's fine . are you okay ? nathan : is maxie with her ? dante : hang on , hang on . hey , uh , i got you on speakerphone . can you hear me ? uh , i got nathan here . is maxie with you ? maxie : i 'm here ! i 'm fine ! dante : `` here `` ? where 's here ? where are you guys ? no touching the prisoner ! carlos : it 's not her fault . we have n't seen each other in months . and we could end this little reunion right now . you feel me , bro ? carlos : i hear you . we 're cool . sabrina : i 'm so sorry . carlos : no , it 's not your fault , querida . sabrina : are you okay ? he was really hostile . carlos : they 're all like that . do n't worry about it . sabrina : but you 're sure you 're okay ? carlos : seeing you makes it all worthwhile . you keep me going in here . the dream of what our life could have been . sorry . how 's everything , hmm ? how 's the baby ? no . sabrina : [ sobs ] carlos : no . no , no , no . sabrina : my baby died . dante : any idea where they 're holding you ? lulu : i do n't know . it 's a house . dante : a house ? what kind of house ? lulu : it 's not big or small . there 's nothing really distinctive about it . nathan : i 'm gon na start a trace . dante : uh , any idea where this house is located ? lulu : we were blindfolded . maxie : he drove us for about an hour and then dragged us inside and tied us up . dante : and where 's levi right now ? lulu : he got upset . he stormed out . he forgot his phone . maxie was able to kick it over to me . dante : what set him off ? maxie : he seemed really tense , and he kept saying all this personal stuff about my mom . i do n't understand how my mom has anything to do with this . dante : that 's the thing . we may have found a connection with that . we found scribner , levi 's buddy , in the cabin . he was shot . maxie : that was levi ! he shot scribner right in front of us ! dante : right , that 's what he said . anyway , scribner 's alive . he said dunkleman 's name is an alias . his real name is peter harrell . maxie : is that supposed to mean something or something ? dante : no , not really . but -- but look , your mother was engaged to be married to a guy named peter harrell 30 years ago , but he was a con man , okay ? all he wanted was felicia 's aztec jewelry . maxie : he played her just like levi played me . lulu : okay , dante , we do n't have much time . levi could come back any minute . nathan : i need more time . keep them on the line . dante : okay , we got to keep you on the phone a few more minutes , okay ? anything -- anything you can remember about -- can you see anything out the window , anything levi might have said to you ? maxie : he was leaving messages for somebody , but they wo n't call him back ! uh , he wo n't tell us what he 's waiting for . lulu : maxie tried to convince him to let me go , and he said that i 'm as much a part of this as maxie . do you know what that means ? nikolas : i - i know it 's unrealistic , maybe , to think that you and i have a chance . the truth is ... the truth is ... i 've never stopped being in love with you . i - i love you . i - i know -- i know that our -- that our timing has always been awful , but my feelings for you right now are as strong as they 've ever been . you know , there 's always been people and -- and problems in our way , and as far as i know , there always will be . but the other night when i was with britt , i could n't lie to her about my feelings for you . when things are bad like this , we always find each other . we always run to each other . ple -- elizabeth : you 're a royal jackass ! britt : so , you 're confirming a home pregnancy test ? nina : oh , come on . those things are never reliable . at least they never used to be . um , no , i thought it best to go to a doctor , and it gave me a great chance to introduce myself to you . britt : well , i 'm glad you did . and i 'll try any way i can to help you . so , symptoms . you said something happened last night and this morning to think you believe you might be pregnant . nina : mm - hmm . i made love to my husband . of course . how else do you get pregnant ? franco : you want to talk about nina ? what do you want to know ? silas : nina 's been going to your art therapy classes . franco : yes , she has . so what ? silas : so , i do n't like you , i do n't trust you , i do n't trust your history of violent psychosis . franco : you 're a doctor . you of all people should know the tumor made me do that . silas : yeah , i 've heard that one before . you 're not the first crazy person to claim they were cured and they were n't . so , just so you know , i 'll be watching you . franco : okay , i 'll keep that in mind . anything else ? silas : nina told me that , um , the art therapy classes have been helping her . franco : great . i 'm happy to be appreciated . silas : yeah . it 's really nice , but the thing is , you see , to go to your classes , she 's been skipping out of physical therapy . franco : right . [ laughs ] yeah . we ca n't have that , can we ? silas : i 'm sorry . is something funny ? ava : if carly has a copy of that recording , then franco is my best bet . julian : yeah , but franco refuses to cooperate , which means you 're hoping to placate our boss with information you do n't actually have . ava : what 's the alternative ? and please do n't say kill michael . i am not gon na make it easier for not - luke to get his hands on my daughter . julian : while i appreciate your maternal instincts , you do n't appear to have many options left . ava : well , i 'll just have to persuade the boss that leaving michael alive ... [ cell phone rings ] ava : ... and waiting for that evidence against sonny will work to his advantage . julian : well , now is your chance . this is him . it 's now or never , sis . nikolas : i just told you that i loved you , and your response is to call me a jackass . elizabeth : a royal jackass , figuratively and literally . nikolas : oh , no , no . no , no . hold on . did i misinterpret our recent closeness , the conversations , you know , the long pauses , you looking into my eyes ? did you mean any of that ? elizabeth : what ? now you 're all offended ? nikolas : i -- [ sighs ] i did n't think that my gesture would be unwelcome . elizabeth : unwelcome ? nikolas , you just professed your love as if you only have eyes for me , and we both know that 's not true . if i had n't called the other night with news about lulu , you would have slept with britt . nikolas : that 's true . yes . elizabeth : yes . that 's right . that 's true . well , you know what ? part of me wishes that i had n't made that phone call , because then you would have slept with britt and i could finally put this to rest ... for good . britt : so , you 've been having regular sexual relations with your husband ? nina : oh , i wish . i wish . no , it 's a little more complicated than that since i arrived in port charles . see , i was sick , but i was in a coma . i do n't know if that qualifies being sick . but last night was the first time in over 23 years i made love to my husband , and it was amazing . it was so amazing , just like i remembered . britt : i 'm happy for you . unfortunately , given the timing , there 's no way to ascertain if you 're pregnant at this point . technically , you -- you would n't even be pregnant yet . nina : no , no , i can feel it . i have that feeling right here . i - i can feel it , just like i did the first time i was pregnant . britt : oh , so you 've been pregnant before ? nina : oh , yeah , i 've been pregnant before , but i miscarried thanks to my mom . your mom 's sister . britt : i guess crazy runs in the family . nina : mm - hmm . my mom stole a baby from silas and me . that 's why it 's so important that i have another one to take its place . silas : where 's the humor in nina missing physical therapy ? franco : you 're right . there -- there is n't any humor in that . silas : okay . so , if you care about her , please encourage her to do physical therapy , as well , unless you want her spending the rest of her days in a wheelchair . franco : no . [ laughs ] no , i do n't want that . nobody wants that . silas : you seem to be amusing yourself . franco : [ laughs ] silas : am i missing something ? nina : listen , i - i know another baby is n't gon na take the place of the one i lost , but it ... it will fill the void that i have . i want to be a mom so bad . britt : um , unfortunately , it is way too early to get a definitive answer , but you clearly want to conceive , so why do n't we do a checkup , and i 'll run some tests just to make sure everything 's on the up and up . nina : okay . thank you . i appreciate that . i know it 's gon na work out . i have a feeling . after all , if ava jerome can have a baby , why ca n't i have a baby ? [ cell phone ringing ] ava : why is the boss calling ? julian : if i had to wager , he 's probably noticed the distinct lack of quartermaine obits in the paper . ava : send it to voicemail . julian : sorry , ava , that 's a bad move . the man is a real bunny boiler . trust me . he wo n't be ignored . [ ringing continues ] ava : hello ? yes , yes , it 's ava . how nice that you recognize my voice . i 'm so glad you rang . i was thinking you and i should have a chat . i have a proposition for you . carlos : i do n't understand . the -- the last thing i heard , the baby was doing fine . he was getting stronger . sabrina : he was . i even named him . gabriel . carlos : the angel . sabrina : he caught an infection that he was n't able to fight off . he was n't strong enough . he died in my arms . carlos : oh , querida . i ... lo siento mucho . sabrina : thank you . but honestly , i 'm the one who should apologize . that 's why i 'm here . i 'm so sorry , carlos . dante : i do n't know why levi would say that you were involved except , uh ... lulu : except what ? dante : well , when anna told us about the original theft of the aztec jewelry , it was mostly involving felicia and frisco , but i guess luke and laura were involved , as well . lulu : my parents were part of this ? dante : especially your father . i - i do n't know . i 'm trying to figure out how it 's all connected . [ door opens ] dante : lulu ? [ door closes ] dante : lulu ? levi : well , this is unfortunate . carlos : you have nothing to apologize for . sabrina : i wish that were true . carlos : it is true , sabrina . you 've done nothing wrong . sabrina : when i came to see you at the police station before they sent you here ... i blamed you for what happened to gabriel , for the accident , that he was born too soon . i made it all your fault . ava : if i had asked you to do something ... nefarious for me and i warned you that there would be consequences if you revealed the truth to anybody , would n't i have been justified in taking action ? sabrina : you swore on my baby 's life that you had nothing to do with aj quartermaine 's murder . and then you confessed to killing him , so i blamed you , as if my child had to pay some karmic debt , some divine retribution . carlos : i never wanted you or your child involved in any of this . sabrina : i 'll never understand how you were capable of taking a life . the thought of it still shakes me to my core . but blaming you for what happened to gabriel , it was wrong . i know that now . carlos , it was n't your fault . i know who was responsible for the accident . ava : i was fully prepared to take out michael corinthos , and then it dawned on me , why antagonize sonny ? oh , of course . of course it 's your call . i just think until we have all of our ducks in a row at elq , the last thing we need is sonny making trouble for you . besides , i have an in with michael through my daughter . i 'm sure you remember her . well , kiki is our way to michael , and michael obviously is our way into elq . no . i am not trying to get out of eliminating him . i just think that there is a better move that we could make against sonny . oh , i do indeed . and i have no doubt that it will send sonny to prison for the rest of his life . nina : god willing , i do n't have to be in my chair much longer . i feel like my legs are getting stronger and stronger every day . britt : well , you do n't want to push it . i read your chart , and you have a long recovery ahead of you . nina : well , i know , but i refuse to spend my entire pregnancy in a wheelchair . britt : let 's see what the blood work says first , okay ? will you run this down to the lab and put a rush on it ? nurse : absolutely . britt : okay . should we start your exam ? nina : can i ask you a personal question ? do you have any children ? nikolas : you wish i had slept with britt ? elizabeth : you wanted to . nikolas : [ chuckles ] you know , it 's -- it 's been a long time since i 've been with anyone . elizabeth : [ laughs ] please . how long ? nikolas : [ chuckles ] really ? uh ... march . elizabeth : [ scoffs ] march ? you want to have that competition ? before ric , i was celibate for about a year , and before aj , probably two years . nikolas : i respect your personal choices , but what bearing does that have on anything ? ! elizabeth : this is more than just my morality . did you have any idea how hard it is to plan a romantic evening while raising kids ? nikolas : yes , i do . elizabeth : without nannies or butlers or servants ? you know , sex is n't food or water , nikolas . one can get by . nikolas : that 's not what i meant , and you know it ! elizabeth : then what did you mean ? because obviously britt is more than just a one - night stand . you have feelings for her . nikolas : elizabeth , i have never claimed to be indifferent to britt . elizabeth : great . more power to you both . and britt may be okay sleeping with you after you 've told her that you have feelings for me , but i have more respect than to make you that same offer . nina : i 'm sorry . i do n't mean to pry . i just wanted to know if you had kids . they would be my family , too . britt : it 's complicated . um , i gave birth to a baby , but i had to give him up . nina : oh , i 'm so sorry . i - i do n't want to bring up painful memories for you . britt : no , it 's -- it 's -- it 's fine . i mean , it 's not fine . it 's just something that i 'm having to accept . giving him up was the hardest thing i 've ever had to do . nina : why 'd you have to give him up ? britt : he was n't mine . nina : you were a surrogate ? britt : no . um , i should n't get into this , so ... nina : dr. westbourne -- britt . we 're family . you can tell me anything . britt : i stole an embryo that did n't belong to me in a crazy attempt to hold on to a guy . if you do n't want me as your doctor , i understand . i 'm sure you think i 'm a horrible person . nina : oh , no . i do n't think you 're a horrible person at all . people do desperate things to get what they want . franco : okay , look , i feel like art can be as healing as medicine . you 're a man of science . you 're not gon na see eye to eye with me on that one . and look , nina 's your wife . you want to spend all that money on physical therapy , knock yourself out . it 's just i do n't feel that that 's necessarily what nina needs right now . silas : [ chuckles ] franco : that 's all . silas : yeah . you know what she needs . franco : well , you 'd be surprised what i know about your wife . dante : lulu ! levi : so sorry to disappoint the boys in blue . but maxie and lulu ca n't come to the phone right now . could i take a message ? dante : [ sighs ] okay , look , levi , uh , let 's not let this escalate any further than it already has , okay ? we can work something out here . levi : oh , so it 's `` we `` now ? dante : man , you do n't need maxie and lulu , okay ? you have everything you want . levi : you know nothing about what i want ! dante : why do n't you tell me ? why do n't you tell me what this is all about ? what 's the endgame for you ? levi : you want me to confide in you , detective ? too bad . dante : you keep -- you keep going on this , man , you 're just gon na keep digging a deeper hole for yourself . levi : all you get to know is that maxie and lulu are staying with me . dante : okay , look , and all you get to know is if anything happens to maxie or lulu , you do n't live to see your own trial ! levi : you do n't think i know that you 're tracing this call ? ! say goodbye , ladies . lulu : dante , i love you ! dante : no , no , do n't hang up . do n't hang up ! [ line disconnects ] dante : levi ! levi ! nikolas : i can assure you i was n't about to ask you to sleep with me . elizabeth : well , that 's good , 'cause i would n't have . nikolas : [ chuckles ] look , i was in the heat of the moment . my sister was abducted , okay ? i was worried . i turned to you . so what ? elizabeth : that 's the problem with us . we are always doing things in the heat of the moment or when something 's about to go wrong or -- or one of us is gon na move on . nikolas : okay , just so i 'm clear . where do we stand on that ? hmm ? i declared my love for you . you chose aj . you declared your love for me just as i was about to announce my engagement to britt . then you chose ric . and then he died . and just as recently as our meal at kelly 's , you 're back to me . and excuse me , but apparently because i even considered sleeping with britt ... you do n't want me yet again . elizabeth : because i do n't want to be with somebody in just the bad times . i want somebody there in the good times , even the boring times . i want somebody who thinks that love is exciting enough . nikolas : what is that -- is that really what you think of me ? really ? elizabeth : this was a mistake . we should not be getting into this . nikolas : elizabeth , we 're already into it , okay ? and i will say my piece . you just gave -- you just gave me a detailed list of my apparent failings . elizabeth : not now , nikolas , let 's not do this right now . nikolas : please do n't do this to me again . please ! elizabeth : i do n't -- you 're gon na wake the baby . nikolas : i 'm not gon na wake the da -- rocco : [ crying ] dante : all i had to do was keep him talking ! nathan : he knew we were tracing the call . dante : i know , i know ! but i just had to keep him on the phone and not make stupid threats like i did . nathan : this is how he operates ! i lived with the guy ! i know ! he pissed me off , made me play his game ! dante : then maybe you should have talked to him . maybe you 'd have more luck than i did . nathan : dante , he is scared , all right ? i heard it . i could hear it in his voice . dante : so what ? ! so what ? ! it does n't get us any closer to finding maxie and lulu ! nathan : he almost lost it when you told him he had everything he wanted ! dante : i noticed that , too , but all that means is now he 's gon na panic and do something stupid to the girls . nathan : no , he needs them for something . that makes them valuable . dante : for how long ? for how long ? that was it . that was our chance . that was our lead , that call right there , and that was it . [ computer beeps ] nathan : and it paid off . i think you kept him on the phone just long enough . we got a hit . levi : not smart , ladies . call the boys in blue ? you just made things much more difficult . maxie : for you . the police are on to you , peter . levi : the name 's levi . maxie : no . see , your buddy scribner ratted you out . turns out , your name is peter harrell , just like the guy that my mom was engaged to before she met my dad . lulu : peter harrell , the thief who went after the aztec treasure 30 years ago . maxie : is that what this is ? some lame vendetta ? i mean , your dad lied to my mom , so you feel justified in lying to me ? what am i talking about ? your dad was gon na marry my mom just like you were gon na marry me . you know what ? i 'd much rather be your hostage than your wife . lulu : it 's obvious this loser 's plan is starting to unravel . is n't it , petey ? levi : you 're both quite proud of yourselves , are n't you ? thinking you 've got this all figured out . once upon a time , my father put a ring on your mother to get his hands on a fortune . but thanks to your parents -- and yours -- he wound up a fugitive , as good as dead . what goes around comes around , girls . you just watch . carlos : rafe kovich ? sabrina : yeah . carlos : who is that ? sabrina : silas clay 's nephew . carlos : you 're sure he was responsible ? sabrina : rafe admitted it . carlos : you talked to this kid ? he confessed to you ? sabrina : [ sighs ] no . he passed away while i was recovering in puerto rico . carlos : so it 's possible it was n't him . sabrina : patrick hired sam morgan to investigate . they confirmed that rafe was the one driving the car that forced us off the road . carlos : i do n't understand . how did this happen ? sabrina : we do n't know much , but the only thing that rafe said before he passed away was that ... [ sighs ] he intentionally forced us off the road because somebody told him to . carlos : now it all makes sense . sabrina : how ? ava : you see , i knew you 'd prefer this option . the proof ? the proof is somewhere safe . it 'll just take me a little while to retrieve it . well , if it were easy to get to , then sonny could get it back himself , and we would n't want that , would we ? understood . we 'll speak soon . [ sighs ] julian : he thinks you 're stalling . ava : no . i 'm pretty sure i managed to convince him otherwise . julian : for now . but the man hates sonny with the fire of a thousand suns . he 's not gon na wait much longer to get his hands on that evidence . so what is your plan ? ava : i do n't know . i kidnapped franco , and he would n't budge . julian : where are you going ? ava : to find franco . silas : you got something to say about nina , let 's hear it . franco : no , i got nothing to say . okay , look , nina and i , we were stuck for a long time in that elevator . i feel like you get to know somebody when you 're stuck in close quarters like that , that 's all . silas : oh , do tell . is there an insight you 'd like to share ? franco : [ sighs ] for starters , she seems pretty intent on having your baby . nina : what 'd the test say ? britt : this is extraordinary . in all my years as a doctor , i 've never seen anything like this . you 're pregnant . nina : i am ? britt : i do n't even know how , but , i mean , the test results are conclusive . nina : it does n't matter how . oh , my god . i 'm pregnant . this is extraordinary . i 'm having silas ' baby . oh , my god . oh , britt , thank you . thank you so much . britt : i did n't do anything . this is a miracle . nina : speaking of miracles ... [ sighs ] thank you . britt : nina ? did you hear what i said ? nina : what ? britt : i said i 'm sorry . the tests indicate that you 're already in menopause . you ca n't conceive a child . nina : menopause ? what ? [ chuckles ] i 'm way too young . britt : this does n't have anything to do with your age . the tests indicate that you 're in early onset menopause . nina : [ exhales ] why is this happening to me ? britt : well , i ca n't pinpoint a reason without more extensive tests , but a lot of factors could have contributed . you were comatose for more than 20 years , which took a serious toll on your body . i 'm so sorry , nina . i know how important this was to you . nina : no . no , you do n't . elizabeth : finally he 's asleep . nikolas : healthy set of lungs . elizabeth : must get them from his uncle . nikolas : we need to finish our conversation . elizabeth : can you tell me you feel nothing for britt ? nikolas : just -- elizabeth : then we have nothing to talk about . nikolas : [ sighs ] elizabeth : i have everything covered here . i 'm sure you need to get back to the station to get some updates on your sister . nikolas : i do n't want to leave things like this . come on . elizabeth : well , neither do i , but nothing is gon na change right now . nikolas : okay . maxie : is that what this is about ? you blame my parents for what happened to your dad , so you kidnapped me ? what 's the point ? levi : [ chuckles ] you 'll find out when i 'm good and ready . lulu : do n't bother , maxie . he 's stalling . he obviously does n't know what he 's gon na do next . levi : the hell i do n't . maxie : i 'm so sorry for dragging you into this , lulu . lulu : please stop apologizing . maxie : no , if i had been paying attention to what the universe was trying to tell me , i would have seen the actual cosmic message they were trying to send me the night i left on that unfortunate eat , pray , love trip . lulu : which was ? maxie : hello . nathan on my doorstep the night i left , so kind and shy . lulu : and gorgeous . maxie : and that , too . not that i 'm not pretending to be enlightened . i can actually admit that nathan is the hottest guy i have ever met in my life . i mean , he is like 10 kajillion times sexier than peter harrell or whatever this loser 's name is . lulu : is kajillion actually a number ? i mean , not that i do n't agree with the sentiment . levi : if you do n't shut up , i 'm gon na bring the gags back out again . maxie : anyway , so i open the door , and nathan is standing there just so shy and sensitive . and he tells me that he 's my subletter , so i show him around , and i tell him i 'm leaving town because my life is a disaster and i need to find myself , and he tells me to stay . lulu : you did not tell me this ! maxie : because he does n't know anyone in port charles and do i really need to leave town to find myself ? i mean , ca n't i do that in my own home ? lulu : and you left anyway ? levi : i 'm serious . i 'm gon na put the gags back on . lulu : will you shut up ? maxie is having an actual moment of clarity here . maxie : so now that i think about it , nathan was probably my sign from the universe . but instead of staying in port charles , as usual , i listen to myself and i went on my terrible eat , pray , love trip . and what do i bring back ? him . this vile , disgusting , lying pig . sorry . second - generation pig , since it turns out your father was just as vile as you are . but you know what the worst part is , lulu ? i could n't see the incredibly amazing , astonishing thing that literally landed on my doorstep . and , you know , that i got you involved in this , too . lulu : no , no , no . you did n't . the lying , disgusting pig has a grudge against my parents , too . maxie : is that the plan , levi ? to make lulu pay ? i mean , who else have you planned on taking out your father 's revenge on ? levi : oh , lulu has quite a different fate in store for her . lulu : what are you saying ? [ computer beeps ] nathan : we got it . dante : okay , good . i just talked to anna . we got clearance . we can set up our own team and take whoever we want . nathan : perfect timing . we triangulated the hit , and the location 's about 50 miles southeast . let 's go . dante : hernandez , lawson , suit up . we 're heading out . lulu : what do you want with me ? maxie : lulu has n't done anything to you . i mean , neither have i , for that matter , but i believe you 're my karmic punishment for a lot of other really bad things i 've done . levi : do either of you ever stop talking ? ! lulu : you know , he really does sound nervous . maxie : he 's way past nervous . he 's flat out scared . levi : your boyfriends were tracing the call . we need to get out of here before the cops show up . britt : i realize this is a shock . nina : yeah , i 'm shocked to find out i 'm in menopause , that i basically slept through any chance to bear a child . i ... britt : this is the number of my colleague , dr. collins . if you need to talk to someone , i - i encourage you give him a call . he 's terrific . nina : can i have a moment , please ? britt : of course . i 'll have the orderly come in , in a few minutes . [ door opens ] silas : let me get this straight . the night you were stuck in the elevator with nina , she told you she wanted to have a child ? franco : it 's all she talked about nonstop . she had this romantic evening planned for the two of you , and it was ruined because she was stuck in an elevator with me . silas : she told you ? franco : yeah . me . she cares about you , silas . and she 's willing to go to great lengths to show you . but for the life of me , i ca n't figure out why after you screwed around with dear , old ava . ava : franco is working at the hospital now . i 'll talk it over with him there . julian : are you seriously gon na leave the safety of this apartment again ? ava : the guards will protect me . julian : to what end ? i mean , you have to know that sonny has the place under surveillance . so let 's just say for the sake of argument that sonny 's people are n't ready to grab you for whatever reason . you make it to the hospital safely . then what ? how are you gon na convince franco to turn against carly ? ava : i 'll think of something . this is the only move i have . sabrina : carlos , what do you mean ? how does any of this make sense ? carlos : well , i - i could n't figure out why some kid would deliberately run you off the road , but you said that someone made him . that 's -- that 's what makes sense . sabrina : are you certain that 's all ? carlos : yes . sabrina : carlos . carlos : of course . sabrina : i know you . you 're hiding something . carlos : i 'm not hiding anything . sabrina : then why wo n't you look at me ? carlos : [ sighs ] sabrina : is this about the accident ? oh , my god . do you know who told rafe to run us off the road ? silas : i might remind you that you were involved with ava at the same time . franco : i was n't married . [ cell phone rings ] franco : and those vows mean something . at least they do to your wife . is that her now ? silas : it 's none of your business . well , franco , this is 12 minutes of my life i 'll never get back . i 'll see you around . franco : see you . nina : i had so many plans . for a life and a child . everything was taken away from me . why is everything taken away from me ? collins . done feeling sorry for myself . i 'm not gon na feel sorry for myself . not feeling sorry for myself . i 'm having silas ' baby one way or another . carlos : i was in a holding cell when the accident went down . how could i possibly know who put the kid up to it ? sabrina : i do n't know , but you do . i can see it in your eyes . carlos : [ sighs ] you need to stop asking questions . sabrina : my child died . if i do n't get my answers from you , i 'm gon na get them somewhere else . carlos : you go looking into this , you 're gon na wind up dead yourself . sabrina : i do n't understand . carlos : do n't you get it ? i am trying to protect you . sabrina : protect me ? protect me from who ? carlos : ava jerome . ava : i 'll be right back , boys . wait here . oh ! oh , i am -- i 'm so sorry . britt : hey . nikolas : hi . britt : is everything okay ? nikolas : y - yes . uh , i was just coming by to see if there 's any word on my sister . britt : me , too . and to see how nathan 's holding up . but the desk sergeant said he is n't here , that he and dante are following up on some lead . levi : we need to get out of here before they trace that call you made . i hate to move up the boss 's timetable , but better to arrive at our final destination early than not at all . maxie : boss ? what boss ? levi : shut up ! maxie : where are you taking us ? dante : [ over bullhorn ] peter harrell ! come out with your hands in the air ! we have you surrounded ! tuesday on `` general hospital `` -- franco : ( to carly ) something 's bothering you . i know what it is . kiki : ( to silas ) is nina just a rebound ? ava : ( to nina ) i know who you are . sabrina : ( to carlos ) did ava kill my son ? sonny : ( to michael and morgan ) all we can do is wait . nathan : ( to dante ) if negotiations fail , we got ta have a plan b . maxie : ( to levi ) surrender , dorothy ! levi : shut up ! | sabrina visits carlos in jail and tells him that her baby died . she tells him that rafe kovich intentionally ran them off the road because someone told him to . carlos remembers ava 's threat and says it makes sense now . sabrina wonders what he knows . he tells her to stop asking questions or she could end up dead too . she asks him who he is trying to protect her from . he names ava jerome . ava frets over that to do about `` not luke `` since she did n't kill michael . she tells fluke that she thinks it is a better idea to use michael to get to elq and then eliminate him later . she tells him that she will get him the evidence that will bury sonny , but that it will take a little time . julian warns her that fluke wo n't wait long . despite the threat sonny poses , ava goes to find franco to persuade him to help her . | <s>[INST] carlos : sabrina ? julian : you 're in a mood . pregnancy hormones , or you worried about our boss ? ava : now , do n't be smug , julian . if ... not - luke turns on me , he 'll go after my entire family . what makes you think he 'll stop with kiki ? he could just as easily make your son and daughter his targets . julian : i tried to warn you . man 's no one to mess with . ava : yes , fine , julian . you warned me , and i did n't listen . i brought this all down on myself . it does n't change the fact that he 's a threat to us both . julian : well , all you had to do was take out corinthos iii just like the man asked . ava : and clear the way for that pervert to sexually harass my daughter again ? not a chance in hell . julian : well , then , you 're right back to where you started . you have to give our boss something he wants more than he wants michael dead . evidence against sonny . ava : i 'm trying . just have to get franco to play ball . silas : franco , wait up . hey , i 'm talking to you . franco : yeah , i can hear you . silas : you share this attitude with your art students ? franco : uh , no , i 'm interested in my art students . you , not so much . silas : well , do n't worry . things are gon na get real interesting . i need to talk to you . franco : silas , what could you and i possibly have to talk about . silas : let 's talk about nina . nina : it was serendipity . i need an ob / gyn , and my instant cousin just happens to be one . britt : [ chuckles ] well , i 'm glad you thought of me . nina : well , you get extra points if you tell me i 'm pregnant . britt : do you have reason to believe you might be expecting ? nina : two reasons . last night and this morning . nikolas : you think i chose britt ? elizabeth : well , did n't you ? nikolas : i told her that i still have feelings for you . elizabeth : i 'm sorry . what ? nikolas : i made it absolutely clear to britt that i still have feelings for you . dante : unknown . [ cell phone rings ] dante : falconeri . lulu : dante . oh , my god , dante , it 's me . dante : lulu ? lulu , lulu , is that you ? lulu : yeah . how 's my baby ? how 's rocco ? dante : uh , rocco 's fine . he 's fine . are you okay ? nathan : is maxie with her ? dante : hang on , hang on . hey , uh , i got you on speakerphone . can you hear me ? uh , i got nathan here . is maxie with you ? maxie : i 'm here ! i 'm fine ! dante : `` here `` ? where 's here ? where are you guys ? no touching the prisoner ! carlos : it 's not her fault . we have n't seen each other in months . and we could end this little reunion right now . you feel me , bro ? carlos : i hear you . we 're cool . sabrina : i 'm so sorry . carlos : no , it 's not your fault , querida . sabrina : are you okay ? he was really hostile . carlos : they 're all like that . do n't worry about it . sabrina : but you 're sure you 're okay ? carlos : seeing you makes it all worthwhile . you keep me going in here . the dream of what our life could have been . sorry . how 's everything , hmm ? how 's the baby ? no . sabrina : [ sobs ] carlos : no . no , no , no . sabrina : my baby died . dante : any idea where they 're holding you ? lulu : i do n't know . it 's a house . dante : a house ? what kind of house ? lulu : it 's not big or small . there 's nothing really distinctive about it . nathan : i 'm gon na start a trace . dante : uh , any idea where this house is located ? lulu : we were blindfolded . maxie : he drove us for about an hour and then dragged us inside and tied us up . dante : and where 's levi right now ? lulu : he got upset . he stormed out . he forgot his phone . maxie was able to kick it over to me . dante : what set him off ? maxie : he seemed really tense , and he kept saying all this personal stuff about my mom . i do n't understand how my mom has anything to do with this . dante : that 's the thing . we may have found a connection with that . we found scribner , levi 's buddy , in the cabin . he was shot . maxie : that was levi ! he shot scribner right in front of us ! dante : right , that 's what he said . anyway , scribner 's alive . he said dunkleman 's name is an alias . his real name is peter harrell . maxie : is that supposed to mean something or something ? dante : no , not really . but -- but look , your mother was engaged to be married to a guy named peter harrell 30 years ago , but he was a con man , okay ? all he wanted was felicia 's aztec jewelry . maxie : he played her just like levi played me . lulu : okay , dante , we do n't have much time . levi could come back any minute . nathan : i need more time . keep them on the line . dante : okay , we got to keep you on the phone a few more minutes , okay ? anything -- anything you can remember about -- can you see anything out the window , anything levi might have said to you ? maxie : he was leaving messages for somebody , but they wo n't call him back ! uh , he wo n't tell us what he 's waiting for . lulu : maxie tried to convince him to let me go , and he said that i 'm as much a part of this as maxie . do you know what that means ? nikolas : i - i know it 's unrealistic , maybe , to think that you and i have a chance . the truth is ... the truth is ... i 've never stopped being in love with you . i - i love you . i - i know -- i know that our -- that our timing has always been awful , but my feelings for you right now are as strong as they 've ever been . you know , there 's always been people and -- and problems in our way , and as far as i know , there always will be . but the other night when i was with britt , i could n't lie to her about my feelings for you . when things are bad like this , we always find each other . we always run to each other . ple -- elizabeth : you 're a royal jackass ! britt : so , you 're confirming a home pregnancy test ? nina : oh , come on . those things are never reliable . at least they never used to be . um , no , i thought it best to go to a doctor , and it gave me a great chance to introduce myself to you . britt : well , i 'm glad you did . and i 'll try any way i can to help you . so , symptoms . you said something happened last night and this morning to think you believe you might be pregnant . nina : mm - hmm . i made love to my husband . of course . how else do you get pregnant ? franco : you want to talk about nina ? what do you want to know ? silas : nina 's been going to your art therapy classes . franco : yes , she has . so what ? silas : so , i do n't like you , i do n't trust you , i do n't trust your history of violent psychosis . franco : you 're a doctor . you of all people should know the tumor made me do that . silas : yeah , i 've heard that one before . you 're not the first crazy person to claim they were cured and they were n't . so , just so you know , i 'll be watching you . franco : okay , i 'll keep that in mind . anything else ? silas : nina told me that , um , the art therapy classes have been helping her . franco : great . i 'm happy to be appreciated . silas : yeah . it 's really nice , but the thing is , you see , to go to your classes , she 's been skipping out of physical therapy . franco : right . [ laughs ] yeah . we ca n't have that , can we ? silas : i 'm sorry . is something funny ? ava : if carly has a copy of that recording , then franco is my best bet . julian : yeah , but franco refuses to cooperate , which means you 're hoping to placate our boss with information you do n't actually have . ava : what 's the alternative ? and please do n't say kill michael . i am not gon na make it easier for not - luke to get his hands on my daughter . julian : while i appreciate your maternal instincts , you do n't appear to have many options left . ava : well , i 'll just have to persuade the boss that leaving michael alive ... [ cell phone rings ] ava : ... and waiting for that evidence against sonny will work to his advantage . julian : well , now is your chance . this is him . it 's now or never , sis . nikolas : i just told you that i loved you , and your response is to call me a jackass . elizabeth : a royal jackass , figuratively and literally . nikolas : oh , no , no . no , no . hold on . did i misinterpret our recent closeness , the conversations , you know , the long pauses , you looking into my eyes ? did you mean any of that ? elizabeth : what ? now you 're all offended ? nikolas : i -- [ sighs ] i did n't think that my gesture would be unwelcome . elizabeth : unwelcome ? nikolas , you just professed your love as if you only have eyes for me , and we both know that 's not true . if i had n't called the other night with news about lulu , you would have slept with britt . nikolas : that 's true . yes . elizabeth : yes . that 's right . that 's true . well , you know what ? part of me wishes that i had n't made that phone call , because then you would have slept with britt and i could finally put this to rest ... for good . britt : so , you 've been having regular sexual relations with your husband ? nina : oh , i wish . i wish . no , it 's a little more complicated than that since i arrived in port charles . see , i was sick , but i was in a coma . i do n't know if that qualifies being sick . but last night was the first time in over 23 years i made love to my husband , and it was amazing . it was so amazing , just like i remembered . britt : i 'm happy for you . unfortunately , given the timing , there 's no way to ascertain if you 're pregnant at this point . technically , you -- you would n't even be pregnant yet . nina : no , no , i can feel it . i have that feeling right here . i - i can feel it , just like i did the first time i was pregnant . britt : oh , so you 've been pregnant before ? nina : oh , yeah , i 've been pregnant before , but i miscarried thanks to my mom . your mom 's sister . britt : i guess crazy runs in the family . nina : mm - hmm . my mom stole a baby from silas and me . that 's why it 's so important that i have another one to take its place . silas : where 's the humor in nina missing physical therapy ? franco : you 're right . there -- there is n't any humor in that . silas : okay . so , if you care about her , please encourage her to do physical therapy , as well , unless you want her spending the rest of her days in a wheelchair . franco : no . [ laughs ] no , i do n't want that . nobody wants that . silas : you seem to be amusing yourself . franco : [ laughs ] silas : am i missing something ? nina : listen , i - i know another baby is n't gon na take the place of the one i lost , but it ... it will fill the void that i have . i want to be a mom so bad . britt : um , unfortunately , it is way too early to get a definitive answer , but you clearly want to conceive , so why do n't we do a checkup , and i 'll run some tests just to make sure everything 's on the up and up . nina : okay . thank you . i appreciate that . i know it 's gon na work out . i have a feeling . after all , if ava jerome can have a baby , why ca n't i have a baby ? [ cell phone ringing ] ava : why is the boss calling ? julian : if i had to wager , he 's probably noticed the distinct lack of quartermaine obits in the paper . ava : send it to voicemail . julian : sorry , ava , that 's a bad move . the man is a real bunny boiler . trust me . he wo n't be ignored . [ ringing continues ] ava : hello ? yes , yes , it 's ava . how nice that you recognize my voice . i 'm so glad you rang . i was thinking you and i should have a chat . i have a proposition for you . carlos : i do n't understand . the -- the last thing i heard , the baby was doing fine . he was getting stronger . sabrina : he was . i even named him . gabriel . carlos : the angel . sabrina : he caught an infection that he was n't able to fight off . he was n't strong enough . he died in my arms . carlos : oh , querida . i ... lo siento mucho . sabrina : thank you . but honestly , i 'm the one who should apologize . that 's why i 'm here . i 'm so sorry , carlos . dante : i do n't know why levi would say that you were involved except , uh ... lulu : except what ? dante : well , when anna told us about the original theft of the aztec jewelry , it was mostly involving felicia and frisco , but i guess luke and laura were involved , as well . lulu : my parents were part of this ? dante : especially your father . i - i do n't know . i 'm trying to figure out how it 's all connected . [ door opens ] dante : lulu ? [ door closes ] dante : lulu ? levi : well , this is unfortunate . carlos : you have nothing to apologize for . sabrina : i wish that were true . carlos : it is true , sabrina . you 've done nothing wrong . sabrina : when i came to see you at the police station before they sent you here ... i blamed you for what happened to gabriel , for the accident , that he was born too soon . i made it all your fault . ava : if i had asked you to do something ... nefarious for me and i warned you that there would be consequences if you revealed the truth to anybody , would n't i have been justified in taking action ? sabrina : you swore on my baby 's life that you had nothing to do with aj quartermaine 's murder . and then you confessed to killing him , so i blamed you , as if my child had to pay some karmic debt , some divine retribution . carlos : i never wanted you or your child involved in any of this . sabrina : i 'll never understand how you were capable of taking a life . the thought of it still shakes me to my core . but blaming you for what happened to gabriel , it was wrong . i know that now . carlos , it was n't your fault . i know who was responsible for the accident . ava : i was fully prepared to take out michael corinthos , and then it dawned on me , why antagonize sonny ? oh , of course . of course it 's your call . i just think until we have all of our ducks in a row at elq , the last thing we need is sonny making trouble for you . besides , i have an in with michael through my daughter . i 'm sure you remember her . well , kiki is our way to michael , and michael obviously is our way into elq . no . i am not trying to get out of eliminating him . i just think that there is a better move that we could make against sonny . oh , i do indeed . and i have no doubt that it will send sonny to prison for the rest of his life . nina : god willing , i do n't have to be in my chair much longer . i feel like my legs are getting stronger and stronger every day . britt : well , you do n't want to push it . i read your chart , and you have a long recovery ahead of you . nina : well , i know , but i refuse to spend my entire pregnancy in a wheelchair . britt : let 's see what the blood work says first , okay ? will you run this down to the lab and put a rush on it ? nurse : absolutely . britt : okay . should we start your exam ? nina : can i ask you a personal question ? do you have any children ? nikolas : you wish i had slept with britt ? elizabeth : you wanted to . nikolas : [ chuckles ] you know , it 's -- it 's been a long time since i 've been with anyone . elizabeth : [ laughs ] please . how long ? nikolas : [ chuckles ] really ? uh ... march . elizabeth : [ scoffs ] march ? you want to have that competition ? before ric , i was celibate for about a year , and before aj , probably two years . nikolas : i respect your personal choices , but what bearing does that have on anything ? ! elizabeth : this is more than just my morality . did you have any idea how hard it is to plan a romantic evening while raising kids ? nikolas : yes , i do . elizabeth : without nannies or butlers or servants ? you know , sex is n't food or water , nikolas . one can get by . nikolas : that 's not what i meant , and you know it ! elizabeth : then what did you mean ? because obviously britt is more than just a one - night stand . you have feelings for her . nikolas : elizabeth , i have never claimed to be indifferent to britt . elizabeth : great . more power to you both . and britt may be okay sleeping with you after you 've told her that you have feelings for me , but i have more respect than to make you that same offer . nina : i 'm sorry . i do n't mean to pry . i just wanted to know if you had kids . they would be my family , too . britt : it 's complicated . um , i gave birth to a baby , but i had to give him up . nina : oh , i 'm so sorry . i - i do n't want to bring up painful memories for you . britt : no , it 's -- it 's -- it 's fine . i mean , it 's not fine . it 's just something that i 'm having to accept . giving him up was the hardest thing i 've ever had to do . nina : why 'd you have to give him up ? britt : he was n't mine . nina : you were a surrogate ? britt : no . um , i should n't get into this , so ... nina : dr. westbourne -- britt . we 're family . you can tell me anything . britt : i stole an embryo that did n't belong to me in a crazy attempt to hold on to a guy . if you do n't want me as your doctor , i understand . i 'm sure you think i 'm a horrible person . nina : oh , no . i do n't think you 're a horrible person at all . people do desperate things to get what they want . franco : okay , look , i feel like art can be as healing as medicine . you 're a man of science . you 're not gon na see eye to eye with me on that one . and look , nina 's your wife . you want to spend all that money on physical therapy , knock yourself out . it 's just i do n't feel that that 's necessarily what nina needs right now . silas : [ chuckles ] franco : that 's all . silas : yeah . you know what she needs . franco : well , you 'd be surprised what i know about your wife . dante : lulu ! levi : so sorry to disappoint the boys in blue . but maxie and lulu ca n't come to the phone right now . could i take a message ? dante : [ sighs ] okay , look , levi , uh , let 's not let this escalate any further than it already has , okay ? we can work something out here . levi : oh , so it 's `` we `` now ? dante : man , you do n't need maxie and lulu , okay ? you have everything you want . levi : you know nothing about what i want ! dante : why do n't you tell me ? why do n't you tell me what this is all about ? what 's the endgame for you ? levi : you want me to confide in you , detective ? too bad . dante : you keep -- you keep going on this , man , you 're just gon na keep digging a deeper hole for yourself . levi : all you get to know is that maxie and lulu are staying with me . dante : okay , look , and all you get to know is if anything happens to maxie or lulu , you do n't live to see your own trial ! levi : you do n't think i know that you 're tracing this call ?

[ scene_break ] sonny : calm down , alexis . no one 's gon na hurt you . alexis : forgive me if i 'm not convinced . sonny : all you got to do is walk out the door and just forget whatever you saw here . alexis : yeah . so you can kill him ? you 've more than half accomplished that . and , what -- this is the higher calling you were telling me about ? you break up our relationship , because you ca n't give up this ? shawn : okay , dial down the outrage for a minute . think about who this man is ! remember what he did to your daughter . franco : i did n't do that . i did n't rape -- sonny : i told you to shut up ! franco : okay , okay . sonny : did sam tell you what he did to michael ? he made him a target for some freak in pentonville ! and then he said he was trying to protect michael . he did n't mean for my son to get raped ! you think i 'm gon na allow that predator to walk around ? ! i am not doing that ! alexis : you do n't get to decide that ! the court does ! you do n't get to ride around and dispense your vigilante justice ! sonny : he 's an animal ! nobody cares if he lives or dies ! alexis : i care ! because if you kill him , you could be killing my grandson , too ! [ scene_break ] britt : are you once again accusing me of lying ? sabrina : you know what ? forget it . i should n't have even said anything . britt : no . you know what ? i 've had it with your accusations , sabrina . had it . patrick : can we not do this here , please ? britt : why not ? because we work here , or because the two of you want to continue making out in front of patients ? patrick : no , because this is between the three of us , not everybody involved here . britt : it does n't matter . everyone knows our dirty laundry by now . why not keep them informed ? for the record , sabrina , each and every one of your insulting theories about me has been proven wrong . this is patrick 's baby . i did have hyperemesis gravidarum , and my labs will confirm that my condition has improved , and i 'm no longer on bed rest . sabrina : okay . will these labs be run by your little buddy brad ? britt : oh , and who would you prefer ? the not - so - irreproachable ellie trout , who went behind my back to run a paternity test using my blood samples without my permission ? i will match my supposed shadiness to yours any day of the week . patrick : please , this is getting out of hand . britt : really , why do you feel the need to keep after me , sabrina ? you won . you have the guy . i have no one . you call me a bitch , but i 'm not the one kicking someone when she 's down . patrick , i hope emma enjoys the doll . [ scene_break ] silas : i want my nephew , all right ? that 's what the court ordered . sam : how do you think rafe 's gon na like it , being taken away without any notice ? silas : what 's the right amount of notice , sam ? an hour , a day , a week ? what does it matter ? sam : i do n't know . maybe you could try spending a little bit of time with him first . silas : it 'll happen when i raise him . sam : are you serious ? take him out to dinner or ... have a cup of coffee with him . silas : oh , what is it with everybody wanting to grab coffee ? ! sam : do you get that you are totally being irrational , blowing up at me about some coffee ? come on . what 's really bothering you ?

[ scene_break ] laura : the only reason i said yes to this whole deal was because we were going to be completely equal partners . that means total transparency . i mean , just because you call your company deception , it does n't mean that you get to deceive me . lucy : laura , you 're overreacting . laura : i 'm not overreacting at all . i am trying to voice a -- lucy : why do n't you just look in the binder and see how -- laura : you 're just totally dismissing it . i 'm not over -- scott : well , it 's good to see the partnership 's off to a great start . [ scene_break ] nikolas : uh , it 's britt , right ? yeah ? britt : yeah , hi . hi , nikolas . it 's nice to see you again . nikolas : you too . um ... i 'm sorry , but you do n't look any less upset than ... you did at the fireworks . you okay ? is the baby okay ? britt : uh , the kid 's fine , yeah . nikolas : well , you certainly look like you could use someone to talk to . britt : it 's ... just the baby 's father . we just had an argument , and things got ugly . nikolas : well , i mean , you know , a lot of couples argue during pregnancies . it 's a stressful time . britt : yeah , we 're not a couple . that 's the problem . i love him , and he will never love me back . [ scene_break ] morgan : you know , i think it 's great that you 're worried about danny . i do n't mean that , you know , it 's great that you 're worried . i just mean it 's great that you 're feeling a connection to your family . kiki : sure am . what are you doing here , captain ? morgan : i wanted to surprise you ... with this . kiki : you got me something ? that 's so sweet . morgan : open it . kiki : a compass ? morgan : yeah . listen , you 're the only one i want to roam around the world with . kiki jerome . i mean , we might as well know how to get there , right ? and how to find each other if we get lost . [ scene_break ] michael : uh , brad , look , there must be some kind of deal we can work out , right ? what do you want ? what do you want ? money ? i got a ton of it . brad : michael , michael , michael . we 've already covered this . i do n't want your money , honey . you know my price -- you spend one night with me . that 's all my silence is gon na cost you . [ scene_break ] kiki : morgan , this must have cost you a fortune . morgan : do n't worry about it . only the best for you , right ? kiki : okay . but how did you ... you 're gambling again , are n't you ? morgan : no ! no , no , no , no , no . i promise , that is over . kiki : then where did you get the money to pay for it ? [ scene_break ] ava : i was pretty green when i moved to the city . lots of ambition . but not quite enough brains to back it up . and then i met this guy . [ scene_break ] silas : this woman ... there was something about her . her energy -- i could n't get enough of it . [ scene_break ] ava : we spent every moment we could together . very quickly , the relationship became passionate . [ scene_break ] silas : intense . [ scene_break ] ava : i thought i was gon na spend the rest of my life with him . when i found out that was n't gon na happen ... i did n't handle it well . tracy : why did n't you end up with him ? [ scene_break ] silas : she meant everything to me . but then it all went to hell ... like things always do . sam : what went wrong ? [ scene_break ] alexis : danny may need a bone - marrow transplant . sam and i are looking for a match . we are testing every blood relative . he happens to be jason 's twin , which is danny 's best chance . are you following me now ? i need this bastard to live . franco : [ coughs ] thank you so much . shawn : hey , look , we were n't gon na kill him , alexis . alexis : oh , thank god for your restraint . sonny : alexis , just stay out of this , will you , please ? alexis : i need you to let him go . sonny : what ? alexis : i need you to let him get tested . franco : okay . alexis ? i appreciate the sentiment . that 's really ... that 's very thoughtful of you . however ... i ... do not remember agreeing ... to be tested for anything . [ scene_break ] sabrina : she 's got a point . i am kicking her when she 's down . patrick : okay . do n't be so hard on yourself . [ breathes deeply ] britt has given us plenty of reasons to not trust her . you only said what we were both thinking . sabrina : yeah , but i should take my own advice . i make this big show for emma about trying to be more accepting of the baby and of britt , and then i turn around and ... accuse her of lying again . [ scene_break ] britt : and when i realized i had a kid on the way , the father was already involved with the woman he wanted in the first place . and i thought that my pregnancy might get him back , but it did n't . nikolas : so , what ? he abandoned you ? britt : no . he 's been supportive of my baby and of my pregnancy , but that 's it . nikolas : well , i mean , i can relate to that . see , the woman i love , um ... well , it 's kind of a difficult relationship . we were living on different continents for over a year , and by the time i got back , she had already moved on , so i guess we kind of got a similar situation going on . britt : mm . except you 're not eight months pregnant . nikolas : [ laughing ] no , that 's true . i 'm not . but i do know what it 's like to have to let go of someone that your heart really wants , especially if you think that they 're making a mistake with someone else . listen , if these people ca n't see what a catch we are , then they just need to get over it , right ? yeah , see ? there we go . see ? things are looking up already . [ scene_break ] franco : mm . sonny : franco is a monster , alexis , that would let a child die . why would you want to protect him ? franco : i never said that i would n't get tested . just ... it 's nice to be asked . that 's all . alexis : will you please get tested ? franco : of course . alexis : thank you . franco : i do n't know why this is so hard for everyone to understand . i do n't know why i did the things that i did back then . i am doing everything i can to try and make things right ! i owe a lot of people in this town ... especially your daughter . [ scene_break ] sam : well , what went wrong between you and this woman ? silas : how 's danny ? any sign of fever ? sam : wow ! that was -- that was some sort of a pivot there . and you did n't even go back to rafe . does that mean that you 're not gon na force him into living with you right now ? silas : do you want me to check on danny or not ? sam : i see . you think that you share too much , so now you 're gon na shut down . silas : i 'm just concerned about my patients . that 's all . sam : okay . the last time i checked , his temperature was normal , but he is about to get up from a nap . i 'll go get him for you . silas : thank you . sam : you 're welcome . [ scene_break ] ava : why does any relationship fail ? one minute , this person 's your entire world ... and then , before you know it ... he 's gone ... leaving you to pick up his pieces . do you know what i mean ? [ breathes deeply ] tracy : i certainly do . [ scene_break ] lucy : instead of biting my head off for finding all the money and all the good stuff , you could at least act a little bit grateful . i think , scott , you should probably talk some sense into her , and i 'm gon na go clear my head by taking a little , tiny stroll . excuse me . scott : [ sighs ] laura : can you believe that woman ? scott : yeah , i can , but maybe she did a good thing for the company . laura : the company -- our company , you know ? we 're supposed to be doing things together . she just ran behind my back , did whatever she wanted , without telling me about it . scott : well , you got a point , and she probably should have said something to you , but maybe she 's saw an opportunity and she just grabbed it . is it possible you 're overreacting ? laura : possible . scott : what 's the matter ? is there something else on your mind ? laura : yeah . scott : you can tell me anything . laura : it 's luke . scott : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] ava : who 's this guy you 're hung up on ? tracy : [ clears throat ] someone i was once ... involved with . ava : and ? tracy : and he 's in trouble , and he wo n't let me help him , and i do n't know what to do about it . ava : hmm . that 's always how it is , huh ? it 's the ones you want to protect the most who push you away . [ scene_break ] kiki : morgan , this is obviously very expensive . you do n't have the kind of money to pay for this . if you did n't win it gambling , then how did you get it ? ava : i 'll work on kiki . in the meantime , you go and ... buy her something . morgan : slight problem with that . i do n't have any money or a credit card . ava : you can borrow one of mine . kiki does n't have to know . it 'll be our little secret . morgan : i -- i cashed in a savings bond that my grandma bobbie gave me for graduation . i know . romantic , right ? kiki : okay . i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to accuse you . i just get worried . morgan : hey , hey , i get it . i get it . but , come on . i mean , do n't you like it ? kiki : of course , captain , i love it . i ... should n't you have used the money to pay back michael ? morgan : i wanted to do something nice for you . let me worry about michael . [ scene_break ] michael : okay , look -- if you 're looking to date somebody , i have plenty of friends i can set you up with . brad : i 'm not interested in them . i 'm interested in you . michael : well , that 's gon na happen , okay ? 'cause i 'm not gay . brad : i can work around that . michael : i ca n't . this is not gon na work . brad : oh , i promise you -- it 'll work . so , pick you up at 8 : 00 . kiki : hey , what happened with brad ? michael : uh , nothing . as far as what happens tonight at 8 : 00 , i have no clue . kiki : michael , you ca n't give in to him . are you kidding me ? it 's not worth it , okay ? michael : i do n't -- kiki : stop . we have to tell morgan the truth , okay ? even if it means that he 'll hate us . michael : he give that to you ? kiki : it does n't matter . michael : yeah , it does matter . you and i , we 're cousins , okay ? there 's no way we could ever be together , so there 's no reason to torpedo both of our relationships with morgan , as well . kiki : brad 's not going to give up . you ca n't spend the night with him , michael . michael : i do n't intend to . i 'm gon na go find him . kiki : and do what ? michael : i have no clue . i 'll figure something out . just wish me luck . kiki : good luck . [ scene_break ] scott : you 're upset about luke ? i thought we were past all of that . laura : we are . we are . it 's just that , i 'm worried about him . i think he 's sick . scott : what makes you say that ? laura : tracy quartermaine . [ scene_break ] tracy : why are men so pigheaded ? i had to drag him to the hospital when he got sick . and then we ran into people that we knew , and i covered for him . i let him tell them that it was me getting the tests , even though i thought he should be honest . ava : so , why 'd you do it ? tracy : some people you ca n't say no to , no matter how long it 's been . is that what it 's like for you ? ava : silas , wait . you ca n't just walk away from me ... not again .

[ scene_break ] laura : i think that tracy was lying to lulu . i do n't think those tests were for her . i think that they were for luke . and then , when we went to her and we asked her again , after luke went missing , she was not talking . scott : well , i could talk to tracy for you . laura : scotty , would you really do that for me ? would you really go to her and try to get information about luke ? i mean , you do n't even like luke . scott : well , that 's an understatement , but i love you very much , and i ca n't say no to you today because ... it 's our anniversary . laura : what are you talking about ? we 've been married for , what -- i think a month and a half , right ? scott : i 'm not talking about this marriage . i 'm talking about our first marriage . it was 34 years ago . laura : oh , my goodness . scott : and we , you know , lost a lot of years , and we have a lot of catching up to do , so ... if this is what you need , i will do it for you . laura : thank you , scotty .

[ chuckles ] summer : not if i go with you . jack : my talk with kyle sure went well . a regular father / son bonding experience . phyllis : might not have been the best time to bring up work . he knew courtney . he 's obviously worried about summer . jack : i know . i - i - i get that . but when victor is on the warpath , i want to keep my people close to me , especially kyle . i want to keep him on the right path . phyllis : your path . what about his ? jack : now you 're starting to sound like him . phyllis : only because daniel and summer made it painfully clear to me i ca n't make my kids ' choices . jack : i just do n't want him slacking off . i do n't want him making the same mistakes billy made at his age . phyllis : billy turned his life around . he is not gambling anymore . he could n't be any more loyal to this family . he 's engaged to chelsea . the kid 's got it all . jack : i hope billy remembers that , does n't fall back on old habits when things get tough . 'cause i think he 's facing a major battle ahead . chelsea : connor 's napping . i should n't be long . i just have to stop by the office for a bit . anita : well , could you come back in a better mood so we can dish about our new admirer ? chelsea : mom , get this through your head . billy and i are very much in love . we are very happy together . how could i be interested in anybody else ? anita : just calm down . geez . i was n't suggesting that you switch horses . but the way you talk about gabe , it 's like he 's some kind of a hero . and i did happen to read in the news that when his granny died , he inherited a massive fortune . chelsea : here we go . anita : oh , please . come on . billy 's loaded , and so are you , for that matter , thanks to adam . look , all i 'm saying is what girl would n't flustered when a man like that takes an interest in her ? chelsea : a married man who lied to me , who was supposed to be my friend . no , i am -- i am focused on planning a wedding with the man that i love . i do n't have time for other complications . anita : you know , you have n't mentioned the wedding in awhile . how is the planning going ? or -- or is it ? or ... chelsea : uh , well , billy and i decided that we want to put off the planning just for a little while to make sure we get it right . but you know what ? i think i changed my mind . i - i want to get married right away . anita : oh , honey , that 's fabulous . you know , all i want is for my baby girl to be happy . chelsea : i am . very happy . adam : now you 've really done it , have n't you ? you destroyed everything . tens of millions of dollars out the door just like that . sage : i do n't care about that money anymore . i never did with gabe . no amount of money 's worth this . nothing is worth my freedom ! adam : sage , i needed that money ! i need gabriel 's money to continue to live his life ! what am i supposed to do ? ! sage : you 're a highly paid executive ! you 'll figure it out ! you just have to work for your money now ! and you did n't deserve any of that money . nothing you have done ever has allowed you any privilege of the bingham name or estate ! adam : i have n't done anything . are you kidding me right now ? you go to hell . give me a scotch , will you ? a big one , please . sage : do n't worry about it , honey . you 're gon na be just fine . you 're free of your old ball and chain . you can pursue chelsea full - out . if you have n't already lost her , too . victor : someone has to look out for your best interests , all right ? that woman is not your friend . nikki : well , neil is , and i intend to help him . victor : at your own peril . nikki : we should both be indebted to him . he did n't have to go to the authorities and tell them that he caused the accident , but he insisted on it . now they 're going after him instead of me . victor : you should n't have covered for him in the first place . nikki : well ... victor : so neil told the truth . that 's great . he 's a good man . he 's an honest man . but you do not trust his attorney . nikki : i understand that she is building a defense for her client , but she needs to know the whole truth ! victor : are you really this gullible ? nikki : excuse me ? victor : since when are attorneys interested in finding out the truth ? they do n't give a damn ! they want to get paid and win a case ! the only time truth lights up their eyes is when they can use it to turn the case around and make you look guilty ! devon : i do n't know a man who would n't be affected by what my father went through , by what his shrew of a wife put him through . now , i admit that i was a part of that , but , mr. mobley , this woman ... i do n't know a better word to describe her than `` evil . `` she set out to destroy my family and then gloated after she did . and the only reason i 'm even telling you about this is 'cause i 'm trying to get you to understand that my father , neil winters , is a good man . he 's a great man . you can ask anybody in this town . they 'll tell you the exact same thing . what he went through was too much for him , and that 's why he broke his sobriety that night . and he 's been living in his own personal hell ever since because it was an accident . he did n't intend to hurt anybody . he 's not a criminal . you have to take these extenuating circumstances into account because if there 's anyone who does n't deserve to go to prison , it 's my dad . winston : well , i appreciate your desire to make this appeal on behalf of your father . but nothing you said changes the fact that an unborn child was killed . that ca n't go unpunished . devon : and what about neil ? where 's his justice in this ? winston : i 'm looking for justice for the parents of that child . and when the jury comes back with the guilty verdict , which i am convinced they will , i will be asking the judge for the maximum sentence . devon : well , thank you for your time . [ cell phone rings ] winston : winston mobley . hilary : hi , winston . it 's ann . winston : hello there . looking forward to our date tonight . hilary : yeah . about that ... winston : you 're not canceling , are you ? hilary : i was actually thinking about moving it up . having it someplace a little more intimate ? how about my suite ? nick : hey . sage : nick . hi . how are summer and noah ? nick : uh , they 're getting by . it 's pretty rough , though . sage : i 'm so sorry . nick : meant a lot when you came by the police station to check on me . sage : it 's very overwhelming for you . nick : well , i really meant to warn you about gabe . um , he and i had some words , and i did n't want him to go home and take his foul mood out on you . sage : he did n't get the chance because i moved out . i did n't even see him last night . nick : wait , are you saying you ... ? sage : yeah . i packed my bags . and i ended this farce of a marriage . nick : wow . look at you .

adam : mr. tipton . you 're early . mr. tipton : on the contrary . it looks like i arrived just in time , although this conflict between the two of you is certainly nothing new . adam : oh , this ? no , this is just your garden - variety husband - wife little disagreement . the good news is , we 're moving back into our condo today . mr. tipton : is that true ? sage : no . adam : yes . sage : no ! i 've gotten my own place , and i 'm filing for divorce . adam : she gets emotional . honey , i know -- i know you 're upset , but let 's not get hasty , okay ? let 's not make any rash dec -- can you excuse us for a moment ? i need to talk to you . come here , please . what the hell are you doing ? sage : i am not lying anymore . the way that you play with chelsea 's emotions , the way you treat me , i am done with this twisted arrangement . i 've met someone that i fell for that wants me . i am leaving , so deal with it ! adam : listen to me . i can be better , okay ? i 'll be nicer to you , i 'll do whatever you want . what do you want ? just please do n't do this . sage : this man does not deserve his grandmother 's inheritance . our marriage is a sham , and i want out . mr. tipton : an honest answer at last . i 'll go draw up the papers to terminate your inheritance . adam : come here . sage : [ gasps ] adam : you think you 're just gon na walk out of here after what you just did ? summer : so , was noah up when you left ? nick : no , he had a pretty rough night . he 's really torn up . and the press is n't helping . they 're hounding him and everyone else in our family . summer : yeah , i know exactly how he feels . i 'm afraid to turn my phone back on . nick : i ca n't imagine what it 's like for you . summer : i helped courtney get ready for her wedding . you should have seen her , dad . she looked so beautiful . and she was so excited about her future and ... now that 's the last talk i 'm ever gon na have with her . nick : [ sighs ] i wish i could make all the pain go away . summer : just your being here really helps . same goes for mom spending the night . kyle 's been really helpful , too . nick : kyle ? summer : yeah , he 's been great . i mean , after austin died , if it were n't for kyle , i do n't know if i would have made it . kyle : look , whatever this threat is , okay , we 'll discuss it later . i have to go to summer 's . she 's my priority . phyllis : i just came from there . kyle : how is she ? phyllis : hanging in somehow . jack : if there 's anything we can do for her , we want to do it . phyllis : she actually did have one request . jack : oh ? phyllis : that we move forward with our wedding plans . it was very important to her that we not cancel . jack : her heart is breaking and she 's thinking about you . phyllis : and you . jack : so we 're back on , huh ? phyllis : we are . [ chuckles ] kyle : hey , that 's great , you guys . best wishes to you both . i 'm sure you have a lot to discuss . jack : hold -- hold -- hold -- hold on . we 're not finished here . kyle : [ sighs ] jack : this threat i was talking about is victor . he is gunning for jabot , and he 's not gon na give up until he gets what he wants . kyle : hostile takeover ? phyllis : is there any other kind when it comes to victor ? jack : it 's time to rally around the jabot flag , make sure this does n't happen by any means necessary . kyle : [ scoffs ] this is amazing . another chapter in the never - ending war between the abbotts and the newmans . look , i 'm sorry to hear it , dad . i really am . but you ca n't use this as an excuse to heap all your expectations on me . jack : you are a grown man , kyle . kyle : and an obvious disappointment . i guess i 'm just not the son you thought that i would be . jack : wait , wait , wait . phyllis : hey , that 's not what your father 's saying , kyle . jack : i fully expect you to be your own man . you 're also a member of this family . kyle : meaning what ? jack : meaning every once in a while , you have to step up . like tonight , for instance . you could help me . kyle : with what ? jack : there is a charity benefit tonight at the athletic club , and i would like you to be there to help represent our family . it 's important . kyle : [ sighs ] fine . i 'll be there . i would n't want to embarrass the family of the great jack abbott , now would i ? [ door opens ] [ door closes ] devon : hey . i need to give you a heads up about your case . neil : really ? i do n't need you to do that . devon : dad , wait . just know that i am going to meet with the prosecutor and explain to him why he needs to cut you a break . neil : no ! absolutely not . i do n't need your interference in this . devon : i 'm not interfering with anything . i 'm just making sure the guy knows the whole truth . neil : you got a lot of nerve standing here talking to me about truth . i 'll give you some truth . you 're naive , you 're immature , you 're disrespectful . do you understand that christine 's team is gunning for me and nothing that you say is going to change their minds ? devon : well , you know what ? i can try . hilary : you wanted to see me ? devon : i wish i never had to again . but i want you to come with me to meet the assistant d.a . hilary : why ? devon : 'cause i need to explain to this mobley guy that neil started drinking again because of us . and the way i see it , you and i are partly responsible for that car hitting christine . hilary : okay , okay , if you feel that guilty , be my guest . go . waste the guy 's time . make a fool of yourself . just do n't expect me to back you up . devon : you know , hilary , i know you do n't give a damn about me or neil , but i know you do give a damn about your divorce settlement . and if neil gets found guilty , he 'll have to pay out a huge amount in a civil suit , which wo n't leave a lot for you to live off of until you find your next mark . hilary : nice try , devon . but i think i 'll pass . besides , i 'll still get what i want . neil 's hot - shot attorney will get him off the hook , and then we will split up happily ever after . nikki : darling , i 'm trying to help neil . i wish you would n't meddle . victor : let me ask you something . where are you going with this line of questioning ? leslie : we 're not in court , victor . victor : no , we certainly are not . and you 're not nikki 's attorney , are you ? i have a feeling you 're conjuring up some kind of scenario whereby nikki would look very bad . leslie : what scenario would that be ? victor : you know exactly what i 'm talking about . she was n't driving too well , made neil feel insecure , so he grabbed the wheel . would make him look very good in the eyes of the jury and make my wife look bad . is n't that right ? leslie : would be an interesting way to go . victor : yes . thank you for stopping by . thank you . nikki : i 'm so sorry . leslie : it 's okay , nikki . thank you . thank you for your time . victor : i do n't want you to talk to her anymore , okay ? nikki : and i do n't want you to tell me what i can and can not do anymore ! victor : that woman is not your friend ! nick : well , i 'm really glad you have kyle in your life . summer : yeah . you would not have said that a year ago . nick : well , a lot 's changed since then . summer : mm - hmm . nick : i really wish i could go back and spare you all that anguish . summer : we can only look forward , dad , not back . nick : [ chuckles ] when did you get so wise ? summer : [ sighs ] i do n't know . sometimes i feel like the oldest 20-year - old on the planet . nick : you 've lost so much . summer : so have you . i mean , you had a whole future plan that blew up , but you got through it somehow . just like i 'm gon na get through courtney 's death . but luckily i have you as a dad and i have mom and kyle all to help me get through it . nick : i do n't think i 've ever been more proud of you , supergirl .

[ chuckles ] summer : not if i go with you . jack : my talk with kyle sure went well . a regular father / son bonding experience . phyllis : might not have been the best time to bring up work . he knew courtney . he 's obviously worried about summer . jack : i know . i - i - i get that . but when victor is on the warpath , i want to keep my people close to me , especially kyle . i want to keep him on the right path . phyllis : your path . what about his ? jack : now you 're starting to sound like him . phyllis : only because daniel and summer made it painfully clear to me i ca n't make my kids ' choices . jack : i just do n't want him slacking off . i do n't want him making the same mistakes billy made at his age . phyllis : billy turned his life around . he is not gambling anymore . he could n't be any more loyal to this family . he 's engaged to chelsea . the kid 's got it all . jack : i hope billy remembers that , does n't fall back on old habits when things get tough . 'cause i think he 's facing a major battle ahead . chelsea : connor 's napping . i should n't be long . i just have to stop by the office for a bit . anita : well , could you come back in a better mood so we can dish about our new admirer ? chelsea : mom , get this through your head . billy and i are very much in love . we are very happy together . how could i be interested in anybody else ? anita : just calm down . geez . i was n't suggesting that you switch horses . but the way you talk about gabe , it 's like he 's some kind of a hero . and i did happen to read in the news that when his granny died , he inherited a massive fortune . chelsea : here we go . anita : oh , please . come on . billy 's loaded , and so are you , for that matter , thanks to adam . look , all i 'm saying is what girl would n't flustered when a man like that takes an interest in her ? chelsea : a married man who lied to me , who was supposed to be my friend . no , i am -- i am focused on planning a wedding with the man that i love . i do n't have time for other complications . anita : you know , you have n't mentioned the wedding in awhile . how is the planning going ? or -- or is it ? or ... chelsea : uh , well , billy and i decided that we want to put off the planning just for a little while to make sure we get it right . but you know what ? i think i changed my mind . i - i want to get married right away . anita : oh , honey , that 's fabulous . you know , all i want is for my baby girl to be happy . chelsea : i am . very happy . adam : now you 've really done it , have n't you ? you destroyed everything . tens of millions of dollars out the door just like that . sage : i do n't care about that money anymore . i never did with gabe . no amount of money 's worth this . nothing is worth my freedom ! adam : sage , i needed that money ! i need gabriel 's money to continue to live his life ! what am i supposed to do ? ! sage : you 're a highly paid executive ! you 'll figure it out ! you just have to work for your money now ! and you did n't deserve any of that money . nothing you have done ever has allowed you any privilege of the bingham name or estate ! adam : i have n't done anything . are you kidding me right now ? you go to hell . give me a scotch , will you ? a big one , please . sage : do n't worry about it , honey . you 're gon na be just fine . you 're free of your old ball and chain . you can pursue chelsea full - out . if you have n't already lost her , too . victor : someone has to look out for your best interests , all right ? that woman is not your friend . nikki : well , neil is , and i intend to help him . victor : at your own peril . nikki : we should both be indebted to him . he did n't have to go to the authorities and tell them that he caused the accident , but he insisted on it . now they 're going after him instead of me . victor : you should n't have covered for him in the first place . nikki : well ... victor : so neil told the truth . that 's great . he 's a good man . he 's an honest man . but you do not trust his attorney . nikki : i understand that she is building a defense for her client , but she needs to know the whole truth ! victor : are you really this gullible ? nikki : excuse me ? victor : since when are attorneys interested in finding out the truth ? they do n't give a damn ! they want to get paid and win a case ! the only time truth lights up their eyes is when they can use it to turn the case around and make you look guilty ! devon : i do n't know a man who would n't be affected by what my father went through , by what his shrew of a wife put him through . now , i admit that i was a part of that , but , mr. mobley , this woman ... i do n't know a better word to describe her than `` evil . `` she set out to destroy my family and then gloated after she did . and the only reason i 'm even telling you about this is 'cause i 'm trying to get you to understand that my father , neil winters , is a good man . he 's a great man . you can ask anybody in this town . they 'll tell you the exact same thing . what he went through was too much for him , and that 's why he broke his sobriety that night . and he 's been living in his own personal hell ever since because it was an accident . he did n't intend to hurt anybody . he 's not a criminal . you have to take these extenuating circumstances into account because if there 's anyone who does n't deserve to go to prison , it 's my dad . winston : well , i appreciate your desire to make this appeal on behalf of your father . but nothing you said changes the fact that an unborn child was killed . that ca n't go unpunished . devon : and what about neil ? where 's his justice in this ? winston : i 'm looking for justice for the parents of that child . and when the jury comes back with the guilty verdict , which i am convinced they will , i will be asking the judge for the maximum sentence . devon : well , thank you for your time . [ cell phone rings ] winston : winston mobley . hilary : hi , winston . it 's ann . winston : hello there . looking forward to our date tonight . hilary : yeah . about that ... winston : you 're not canceling , are you ? hilary : i was actually thinking about moving it up . having it someplace a little more intimate ? how about my suite ? nick : hey . sage : nick . hi . how are summer and noah ? nick : uh , they 're getting by . it 's pretty rough , though . sage : i 'm so sorry . nick : meant a lot when you came by the police station to check on me . sage : it 's very overwhelming for you . nick : well , i really meant to warn you about gabe . um , he and i had some words , and i did n't want him to go home and take his foul mood out on you . sage : he did n't get the chance because i moved out . i did n't even see him last night . nick : wait , are you saying you ... ? sage : yeah . i packed my bags . and i ended this farce of a marriage . nick : wow . look at you . [ chuckles ] would it be tacky to say congratulations ? sage : no . not at all . nick : well , you 've been thinking about this for a while . what made you finally go for it ? sage : you . anita : hello . adam : hi . anita : i know you . adam : yeah ? anita : i do . i met you at the coffeehouse on new year 's eve . you bought my grands -- connor a cupcake . adam : cupcake . that 's right . you have a fantastic memory . yeah . that 's good . anita : what -- what do you want ? adam : you know , i 'm -- i 'm actually -- my name is gabriel bingham . i work with your daughter -- anita : you 're gabe ? adam : yeah . anita : come in . adam : okay . um , so -- so chelsea is here ? she 's upstairs ? anita : no . which gives me a chance to ask you what were you thinking coming , making a play for my daughter ? adam : so we 're just gon na blow right past the pleasantries ? anita : oh , yes . that 's not my style . i mean , what did you think would happen with chelsea ? she 's madly in love with another man . adam : yeah , i know . i know . her late husband . anita : no . i meant her fiancé . adam : right , and i meant her late husband . she 's in love with adam newman . anita : why would you say that ? she 's very happy now with billy . adam : [ scoffs ] you know , i 'm not so sure about that . come here . i spent a lot of time with them , you know , especially recently . go ahead and have a seat . and , um , i got to tell you , you know , honestly , i do n't like what i 'm seeing . anita : why ? what have you seen ? adam : well , to me , it seems like billy 's ... well , to be frank , still hung up on his ex - wife . i think he would just run right back to her if she were available . it scares me . anita : and assuming you were free , you think you 'd be a better match for chelsea ? adam : absolutely , yes . anita : you are so cocky . what do you think you can offer her ? adam : well , i - i think i can offer her ... exactly what her late husband offered her -- love , security , compassion . i 've heard a lot of stories about him . he made a lot of mistakes . but i know that they were dedicated to each other . and she was the love of his life and vice versa . and if that man walked through that door right now , he would do everything in his power to make things right . he would do everything in his power to win her back again . anita : i am not so sure she would forgive him . adam : she would . anita : i do n't know about that . adam : absolutely she would . the chelsea that i know would forgive him . which is actually why i 'm here . [ door opens ] adam : i 'm sort of seeking a little forgive -- chelsea : yes . we 'll be there . what are you doing here ? i told you to stay away from me . nikki : i 'm through debating this with you . i can look out for neil . i can handle leslie all at the same time . is n't that amazing ? i do n't need you hovering over me . actually , i 'm shocked you were even here for the meeting , given your recent obsession with jabot . victor : whoa , whoa , whoa . do n't change the subject , okay ? nikki : mm - hmm . you 're upset with me because i want to tell the truth ? you wo n't tell me a word about what you 're really up to . victor : can we finally stop fighting , for heaven 's sake ? i 'm sick and tired of fighting with you . this family has so much on its plate . i do n't want to fight anymore . nikki : i do n't , either . victor : good . nikki : especially now . we have to put smiles on our face and make an appearance at that fundraiser . victor : are you going ? nikki : yes ! it 's an important event . it 's for a good cause . and you know the abbotts will be there in full force . i do n't want any tension . victor : i 'll surprise you . i 'll be on my best behavior . nikki : i 'll believe that when i see it . victor : [ laughs ] jack : we 've got to be ready for whatever victor throws our way . and we will be . once the black knight is vanquished , i look forward to a bright future with my gorgeous bride . phyllis : does this bright future possibly include some fun ? maybe a vacation now and then ? or are you planning to rule the cosmetics world until you draw your very last breath ? jack : i am not on slow - down mode . not by any stretch of the imagination . but ... i know what you 're asking . phyllis : and what is your answer ? jack : once we are past this crisis , i would love to travel with my bride . phyllis : good , because we really did have a fabulous time in istanbul . jack : i promise you it wo n't be a one - time thing . promise . phyllis : okay . jack : i mean , billy and ashley can cover for me if i need them to , but long- term ... i want to groom kyle to run the company , the same way my dad did for me . phyllis : honey , i know how important it is for you to pass the torch to your son , but kyle may not be on the same page . jack : okay , maybe not now , but ... phyllis : just give him some time to adjust . remember , jabot is not what brought him home . jack : yeah , that 's true . i just want the family company one day to mean as much to kyle as it does to me . kyle : i did n't think you 'd be up for anything , you know , going out after everything that 's happened . summer : my mom said that my aunt avery 's getting an award tonight , so , uh , it would be nice to be there . plus i 've been spending so much time alone lately crying and freaking out about whoever 's after us , so it 'd be nice to get my mind off of it for a little bit . kyle : yeah , and , um [ clears throat ] i mean , paul did say that we should act normal as though , um , you know , someone was n't watching us or whatever . summer : okay , so , uh , do you want to pick me up here later ? kyle : yeah . i 'll see you then . summer : okay .

[ laughs softly ] mm . kristen toyed with sami . i felt it -- anger and desperation . thinking that the love of your life is out there somewhere , and someone is keeping them from you for their own personal reasons is -- it 's not cruel . it 's evil . jennifer : no , you 're right . there is no justification for what kristen did . there is no justification for anybody who would keep two people apart who are meant to be together . paul : okay , dad , okay . call me if anything changes . love you . hope : how 's marlena ? paul : oh , she 's still in surgery . hey , my dad has n't seen brady at the hospital . neither has anyone else . hope : can you reach him by phone ? paul : no , and he 's not answering any of my texts . hope : you know , what happened at the wedding was incredibly upsetting . maybe he went -- brady probably just needed a little time . paul : okay , that makes total sense . he probably wanted to go back and shower and change before heading to the hospital . hope : yeah . paul : i 'm a -- i 'm still gon na swing by the inn just to check on them . hope : of course . let me know if you hear from them , okay ? paul : okay , thank you . hope : bye . susan : all right , how could samantha brady shoot her own mama ? will : susan , come on . can you cool it , please ? sami 's my mom . susan : yeah , but she sicced a serial killer on you -- sonny : okay , hey , hey -- is there any word on marlena ? will : she 's still in surgery . this is not sami 's fault , okay ? kristen made her pull the trigger . susan : how can you make someone pull the trigger ? will : kristen would take her to ej , who 's dead ? paul : i think kristen thought that it would be more fun if sami shot john and marlena had to watch him die . will : and are you sure that she was -- that -- she was really going to , like , actually going to shoot john ? paul : she was in the motion of turning and that 's when eric tackled her , and then the gun went off . will : i do n't -- that 's why i do n't think she could -- i do n't think she could do that . paul : well , with the drugs ? will : [ scoffs ] paul : okay , and , i mean , what if sami really believes that kristen was gon na take her to ej ? the guy was the love of her life . and if he 's alive -- i mean , you are , right ? i mean , who knows . i mean , that 's -- just that promise alone , it 's a pretty powerful motivation for sami wanting to pull the trigger . will : you know how conniving kristen can be . susan : yeah , yeah , yeah . that is true . i mean , she can be a bit of a sneaky pete , okay ? you know , i got ta get to the hospital . will : what ? susan : marlena needs me . sonny : no , no , no , i do n't -- susan , i do n't think that 's a good idea . susan : but john needs me too . will : john 's with his family right now . but you know what you can do for them is maybe you can go up and pray . susan : well , yeah . i could do that . i could say a rosary . i 'm gon na do that . that 's exactly what i 'm gon na do . will : okay . sonny : [ sighs ] i know . i 'm really sorry . i did n't mean to , like , set her off or anything . will : trust me , it 's not your fault . sonny : how did kristen make sami shoot marlena ? will : kristen told sami that if she shot john , she would lead her to ej -- a living , breathing ej . sonny : ej 's alive ? will : i do n't know . who knows . but i 'm not gon na say a word to susan about it . i do n't want her getting her hopes up that her real son might be alive . sonny : you 're alive . will : i mean , yeah , but , everybody knows kristen dimera ca n't be trusted . kristen : stop fighting it . you know we 're a perfect fit . look , remember when we 'd touch , when we 'd kiss -- no other woman can satisfy you like i can . let me show you . brady : no , no . kristen : yes , brady . yes . make love to me . now .

'cause i 'm about to start a family of my own . abigail 's pregnant . with my child . abigail : you think i 'm being unfair . jj : look , i think you 're going through a lot . and i - i get that it 's hard to see gabi there for chad , trying to help him out , even as a friend . but think about it , abs . she 's been a good one , to you and to me . loyal and caring . if it was n't for her , i 'm not sure i 'd even be here . abigail : i know . god , i know , and i just feel terrible for saying these things , but every time i 'm around her lately , i get a really weird vibe . and i 'm gon na ask you something , jj . just try to be objective . i know ... i know you 've spent a lot of time with her lately . jj : not a lot . we 've talked a few times . abigail : okay , well , you 've been in touch , so ... has she given any kind of an indication that she would still be angry at me ? gabi : you know , when i was in ... prison and in jail , i told arianna that i was away on a business trip . she 's a smart little girl . i mean , she knew i was lying . so now she 's ... got it in her head that i was away for so long because i did n't want to be with her . and she wants absolutely nothing to do with me . jj : man ... i 'm really sorry . gabi : the only thing that kept me going was ... was knowing that i was going to come back to see her , and just when i thought things could n't get any harder , i - i 'm wrong . jj : well , sonny and -- and will can ... can change her mind , ca n't they ? gabi : she 's been telling them that she does n't wan na be ... `` only `` anymore . that she wants a little brother or a little sister . i mean , how can i win her back if i ca n't even give her what she wants most ? jj : is kayla sure of that ? gabi : the beatings , the , uh , injuries caused scarring ... and kayla says the chance that i could , you know , carry a pregnancy to term is ... is pretty low . i 'm somebody that prides myself on ... on being positive , on seeing the bright side . but i do n't see the bright side here . jj : listen , i - i ... i know you feel this way right now , and i get it . but arianna will come around . she loves you . and there are other ways to give her that little brother or sister she wants . gabi : yeah . maybe . i have to admit , it 's pretty hard ... to watch your sister come back from killing a man and sending me to prison for it ... to just pick up right where she left off . she 's got a wonderful future now . and i 'm the one ... that has to suffer for the rest of my life because of what she did to me . abigail : what is it , jj ? jj : just , uh ... just remembered a conversation i had with her and , uh ... i hate to say it , but you might be on to something . ( cat 1 ) friskies world ... valerie : what kind of mistake are you talking about ? lani : eli and i have been spending a lot of time together . maybe too much . valerie : [ scoffs ] why too much ? lani : because we 're not a couple . but since we lost the baby ... valerie : of course . naturally , you 'll be drawn to each other . that 's understandable . lani : i suppose . but i do n't want us to end up confusing sharing our grief with something more . the last thing i want for either one of us is to ... end up hurt any more than we have already been . eli : no , grandma , i was n't talking about gabi , okay ? i 've hardly seen her lately . julie : so , who are you leaning on these days then ? eli : lani . julie : well , that makes sense . both of you are grieving . only natural that the two of you would find comfort with each other . eli : yeah . and that would all be fine if i would n't have screwed things up . julie : how 'd you screw things up ? eli : well , a few weeks ago , i kissed her , and ever since then , things have just been really weird between us . julie : was she upset because you kissed her ? did she kiss you back ? eli : not really . actually , she kinda freaked . and then today , when we had another close moment , she could n't get away from me fast enough . julie : well , there is a way to ... to clear up this confusion . you got ta be honest about your feelings . i assume you have them , or we would n't be having this discussion . eli : yeah . i do . julie : well , darling , just tell her . eli : i just do n't think that 's the right move . i mean ... lani and i , we 're good friends . i do n't wan na screw that up . julie : i do n't see how being honest can ruin a friendship . what is the worst thing that can happen ? she could say , `` i 'm not interested in having a romance with you . `` of course , that would hurt , but ... you 'd know where you stand . [ chuckles ] whatever you decide , i just want you to be happy . you do know that , do n't you ? eli : yeah . as long as it 's not with gabi hernandez , right ? julie : ah ! you catch on so quick ! [ both laugh ] [ emotional music ] abigail : so gabi said it was hard for her to watch me come home to chad and thomas while she still had to suffer for the rest of her life . jj : but she -- she regretted it as soon as she said it . she told me she knew you were n't in your right mind when you made decisions that hurt her , and that you are one of her closest friends . abigail : well , even if she regretted saying it , she was thinking it . jj : look , i 'm not saying that she 's still not upset over what she went through , but come on , abs . this is gabi we 're talking about . do you really think that she would actively try to hurt you ? abigail : i do n't know . maybe we should ask melanie about our good friend gabi , hmm ? 'cause she kidnapped her . jj : abs , that was a long time ago . she 's changed a lot since then . abs , i 'll bet you anything right now that she 's doing everything she can to convince chad to come home to you . chad : i 'm not gon na give up on the marriage . i have to believe that abby and i are gon na be able to work all of this out . it 's just ... [ sighs ] it 's got ta be a matter of time . gabi : yeah , you 're right . just give it some time . i mean , you do n't have to decide anything right now . chad : thanks for letting me bend your ear . gabi : you and abigail , you 're my best friends . you have problems ... i really want to hear about them . brady : you 'd have been proud of him , dad . kristen was about to shoot sami , and paul just -- paul just tackled her . i mean , he -- he saved her life . he -- he was a real hero . john : what the hell happened to kristen ? brady : [ stammers ] i do n't know . we got outside , and she was gone . john : [ exhales ] w - what are you saying here ? paul is laying in the hospital all messed up and kristen just walked away ? brady : apparently , there was an awning . broke her fall . john : well , she could n't have gotten far . brady : police are looking for her . john : that 's not good enough , damn it . they got ta find her before she hurts someone else ! you know , when your mom and i first started dating , valerie : thank you , lani . lani : for what ? valerie : for being cautious with my son 's feelings . i mean , i do n't wan na see him suffer anymore . neither do i want that for you . but , um ... is it possible you could be overthinking the situation ? lani : it 's definitely possible . i ... [ laughs ] i tend to overthink everything . valerie : if you and eli are developing feelings for each other ... why not see where it takes you ? [ elevator bell dings ] eli : hey . valerie : hi . lani : hey . eli : hey , mom . valerie : long day . eli : yeah . for all of us . you get a chance to talk to brady ? lani : no . he 's still dealing with paul 's accident . i figured i can get it later . what are you doing here ? eli : hope gave us a new assignment . we need to go . i 'll tell you about it on the way . valerie : okay , babe . kristen : ahh ... so you 're gon na be a daddy . we should be opening up champagne . stefan : congratulations will suffice . thank you . kristen : i 'd send a bottle of sparkling cider to abigail , although i have a feeling she does n't see being knocked up by you as a reason to celebrate . stefan : she 'll come around . who knows , maybe i 'll score some points for capturing salem 's most wanted . kristen : you would n't dare . stefan : why would n't i ? kristen : because i 'm your only link to our father . and i 'm sure there 's still things you 'd like to know about him . stefan : hmm . i think that , uh , you 're misinterpreting my affection for a man that i have never met . kristen : you know , i see a lot of him in you . not just a physical resemblance . although , there is that too . but his wit and his charm and his intelligence , not to mention his unending loyalty to his family . i believe ... i believe you 've inherited that attribute as well . [ doorbell rings ] wait . wait , wait , wait , wait . what if it 's the police ? stefan : then i guess we 're about to find out if your faith in me ... is misguided .

'cause i 'm about to start a family of my own . abigail 's pregnant . with my child . abigail : you think i 'm being unfair . jj : look , i think you 're going through a lot . and i - i get that it 's hard to see gabi there for chad , trying to help him out , even as a friend . but think about it , abs . she 's been a good one , to you and to me . loyal and caring . if it was n't for her , i 'm not sure i 'd even be here . abigail : i know . god , i know , and i just feel terrible for saying these things , but every time i 'm around her lately , i get a really weird vibe . and i 'm gon na ask you something , jj . just try to be objective . i know ... i know you 've spent a lot of time with her lately . jj : not a lot . we 've talked a few times . abigail : okay , well , you 've been in touch , so ... has she given any kind of an indication that she would still be angry at me ? gabi : you know , when i was in ... prison and in jail , i told arianna that i was away on a business trip . she 's a smart little girl . i mean , she knew i was lying . so now she 's ... got it in her head that i was away for so long because i did n't want to be with her . and she wants absolutely nothing to do with me . jj : man ... i 'm really sorry . gabi : the only thing that kept me going was ... was knowing that i was going to come back to see her , and just when i thought things could n't get any harder , i - i 'm wrong . jj : well , sonny and -- and will can ... can change her mind , ca n't they ? gabi : she 's been telling them that she does n't wan na be ... `` only `` anymore . that she wants a little brother or a little sister . i mean , how can i win her back if i ca n't even give her what she wants most ? jj : is kayla sure of that ? gabi : the beatings , the , uh , injuries caused scarring ... and kayla says the chance that i could , you know , carry a pregnancy to term is ... is pretty low . i 'm somebody that prides myself on ... on being positive , on seeing the bright side . but i do n't see the bright side here . jj : listen , i - i ... i know you feel this way right now , and i get it . but arianna will come around . she loves you . and there are other ways to give her that little brother or sister she wants . gabi : yeah . maybe . i have to admit , it 's pretty hard ... to watch your sister come back from killing a man and sending me to prison for it ... to just pick up right where she left off . she 's got a wonderful future now . and i 'm the one ... that has to suffer for the rest of my life because of what she did to me . abigail : what is it , jj ? jj : just , uh ... just remembered a conversation i had with her and , uh ... i hate to say it , but you might be on to something . ( cat 1 ) friskies world ... valerie : what kind of mistake are you talking about ? lani : eli and i have been spending a lot of time together . maybe too much . valerie : [ scoffs ] why too much ? lani : because we 're not a couple . but since we lost the baby ... valerie : of course . naturally , you 'll be drawn to each other . that 's understandable . lani : i suppose . but i do n't want us to end up confusing sharing our grief with something more . the last thing i want for either one of us is to ... end up hurt any more than we have already been . eli : no , grandma , i was n't talking about gabi , okay ? i 've hardly seen her lately . julie : so , who are you leaning on these days then ? eli : lani . julie : well , that makes sense . both of you are grieving . only natural that the two of you would find comfort with each other . eli : yeah . and that would all be fine if i would n't have screwed things up . julie : how 'd you screw things up ? eli : well , a few weeks ago , i kissed her , and ever since then , things have just been really weird between us . julie : was she upset because you kissed her ? did she kiss you back ? eli : not really . actually , she kinda freaked . and then today , when we had another close moment , she could n't get away from me fast enough . julie : well , there is a way to ... to clear up this confusion . you got ta be honest about your feelings . i assume you have them , or we would n't be having this discussion . eli : yeah . i do . julie : well , darling , just tell her . eli : i just do n't think that 's the right move . i mean ... lani and i , we 're good friends . i do n't wan na screw that up . julie : i do n't see how being honest can ruin a friendship . what is the worst thing that can happen ? she could say , `` i 'm not interested in having a romance with you . `` of course , that would hurt , but ... you 'd know where you stand . [ chuckles ] whatever you decide , i just want you to be happy . you do know that , do n't you ? eli : yeah . as long as it 's not with gabi hernandez , right ? julie : ah ! you catch on so quick ! [ both laugh ] [ emotional music ] abigail : so gabi said it was hard for her to watch me come home to chad and thomas while she still had to suffer for the rest of her life . jj : but she -- she regretted it as soon as she said it . she told me she knew you were n't in your right mind when you made decisions that hurt her , and that you are one of her closest friends . abigail : well , even if she regretted saying it , she was thinking it . jj : look , i 'm not saying that she 's still not upset over what she went through , but come on , abs . this is gabi we 're talking about . do you really think that she would actively try to hurt you ? abigail : i do n't know . maybe we should ask melanie about our good friend gabi , hmm ? 'cause she kidnapped her . jj : abs , that was a long time ago . she 's changed a lot since then . abs , i 'll bet you anything right now that she 's doing everything she can to convince chad to come home to you . chad : i 'm not gon na give up on the marriage . i have to believe that abby and i are gon na be able to work all of this out . it 's just ... [ sighs ] it 's got ta be a matter of time . gabi : yeah , you 're right . just give it some time . i mean , you do n't have to decide anything right now . chad : thanks for letting me bend your ear . gabi : you and abigail , you 're my best friends . you have problems ... i really want to hear about them . brady : you 'd have been proud of him , dad . kristen was about to shoot sami , and paul just -- paul just tackled her . i mean , he -- he saved her life . he -- he was a real hero . john : what the hell happened to kristen ? brady : [ stammers ] i do n't know . we got outside , and she was gone . john : [ exhales ] w - what are you saying here ? paul is laying in the hospital all messed up and kristen just walked away ? brady : apparently , there was an awning . broke her fall . john : well , she could n't have gotten far . brady : police are looking for her . john : that 's not good enough , damn it . they got ta find her before she hurts someone else ! you know , when your mom and i first started dating , valerie : thank you , lani . lani : for what ? valerie : for being cautious with my son 's feelings . i mean , i do n't wan na see him suffer anymore . neither do i want that for you . but , um ... is it possible you could be overthinking the situation ? lani : it 's definitely possible . i ... [ laughs ] i tend to overthink everything . valerie : if you and eli are developing feelings for each other ... why not see where it takes you ? [ elevator bell dings ] eli : hey . valerie : hi . lani : hey . eli : hey , mom . valerie : long day . eli : yeah . for all of us . you get a chance to talk to brady ? lani : no . he 's still dealing with paul 's accident . i figured i can get it later . what are you doing here ? eli : hope gave us a new assignment . we need to go . i 'll tell you about it on the way . valerie : okay , babe . kristen : ahh ... so you 're gon na be a daddy . we should be opening up champagne . stefan : congratulations will suffice . thank you . kristen : i 'd send a bottle of sparkling cider to abigail , although i have a feeling she does n't see being knocked up by you as a reason to celebrate . stefan : she 'll come around . who knows , maybe i 'll score some points for capturing salem 's most wanted . kristen : you would n't dare . stefan : why would n't i ? kristen : because i 'm your only link to our father . and i 'm sure there 's still things you 'd like to know about him . stefan : hmm . i think that , uh , you 're misinterpreting my affection for a man that i have never met . kristen : you know , i see a lot of him in you . not just a physical resemblance . although , there is that too . but his wit and his charm and his intelligence , not to mention his unending loyalty to his family . i believe ... i believe you 've inherited that attribute as well .

[ scene_break ] jordan : do you really think the m.e . was involved in falsifying the identification of that body ? anna : uh , i do n't know . i mean , he could 've been responding to pressure , and he just pushed the autopsy through . what i do know is that gallagher was so concerned that he collected his own evidence independently , and now , all of a sudden , he 's gone . jordan : okay , if -- if you 're right , all right , this person was in a position to influence the whole process of -- of identification and was able to close the case prematurely . anna , i need to know who you think this mole is . anna : uh ... a - all i know for certain is that carlos is alive and in hiding . and someone here at the pcpd aided him to that end . jordan : carlos may have help outside of the pcpd , as well . anna : from whom ? jordan : i recently had a very cryptic conversation with carlos ' ex . sabrina santiago . [ scene_break ] felix : just a case of braxton - hicks , an errant contraction . sabrina : you think i 'd know better , considering i 'm a nurse , but it 's a whole other thing when it 's happening to you . michael : i 'm sorry you had to go through all this . sabrina : thank you . michael : do you need anything ? sabrina : michael , it 's okay . you do n't have to worry about me or the baby . [ scene_break ] anna : yes , it 's possible that carlos would 've gone to sabrina for help . he 's certainly done that before . jordan : okay . we 're bringing her in . anna : no ! we do n't have evidence . she wo n't cooperate . a - and if she tells carlos , he 's gone . jordan : okay .

[ scene_break ] elizabeth : well , the fewer people who know and make a fuss about the baby , the more lucky can focus on his recovery . and even if he gets his life together , i ca n't save our marriage . jason : well , you 'd raise the baby without the father ?

[ scene_break ] alexis : ok , go ahead . speak . jax : i 'm a businessman . right ? some would say that i 'm successful . alexis : extremely . jax : that 's because i know business , like life , is all about numbers and statistics . like , for instance , when i go to buy a company or reorganize one that i already own , i look at the books . does the product have a proven track record ? can i look at it and go `` it 's a winner `` ? now , the doctors knew that -- that the lobectomy would be your best chance , right ? well , chemo is a proven . so if i were betting on your success , then those are the odds i 'd play . alexis : but you 're gambling with my life . jax : you 're gambling either way . i just -- i prefer the odds on my side . alexis : but that -- that 's -- jax : i know , i know , i know . maybe i 'm wrong , i -- i do n't know , alexis . i know that you 're a smart woman . it 's your body , maybe you should listen to it . i 'll support whatever decision you make . i just have to know that you 've thought this all the way through . alexis : you are one of the smartest men that i know , and i respect you so much . i respect the way that you -- you lead your life . you find more joy in -- in the little things , and i envy that and i want to be like that . and you have always told me that i should take chances and that i should trust my instincts , so that 's what i 'm trying to do right now . so i just -- i need you to support me . i need you to support me and encourage me , and that 's because what i want is to be able to enjoy every minute of my life for the time that i have left because that , to me , would be my greatest success .

[ scene_break ] felix : okay , let me get this straight . you poured your heart out to dr. dreamboat . sabrina : i told him exactly how i feel . felix : and he did n't sweep you off your feet ? sabrina : nope . felix : and your date with aj quartermaine ? elizabeth : never happened . felix : because you saw him kissing carly jacks . elizabeth : in the middle of the restaurant . does n't really surprise me . carly 's not known for her discretion , but i guess she was just too good for aj to resist . felix : what the hell is wrong with these men ? how could they be so thoughtless ? [ scene_break ] carly : you can say nothing to anyone about this . you start running your mouth , you will never find out who has those elq shares , and your dream of redeeming yourself in michael 's eyes , we know what 'll happen there . aj : i 'm so sorry , elizabeth . ellie : good morning . aj : let 's hope so . how 'd that scan go that you had run ? ellie : uh , you 're referring to the endoscopy which was performed on damian ? aj : uh , yeah , that one . look , if we ca n't reconstruct the relish recipe , i ca n't guarantee the future of elq . ellie , please , michael and i are really counting on you .

[ scene_break ] sam : you 're thinking about rafe , huh ? what about tj ? molly : i was n't thinking about rafe like that . i just have n't heard from him since they threw him in that group home . sam : well , i 'm sure he made it there okay . molly : i just want to know if he 's okay . is that too much to ask ? sam : no . why do n't you call him ? molly : how ? rafe does n't have a cell phone . i ca n't even text him . sam : okay . well , remember there is a thing called land lines . molly : yes , but i do n't even know what home social service sent him to , so even if i wanted to call him on a land line , it 's impossible . sam : maybe not . [ scene_break ] felix : what the hell was aj doing kissing on carly ? she told me that he fills her with murderous rage . of course , there 's a thin line between love and hate . elizabeth : in carly 's case , it 's lust and hate . but if aj does n't know by now to stay away from carly after all the misery she has caused him , then that is his problem , not mine . felix : clearly , there 's a lot of history here to which i am not privy . fortunately for you , i know your story up and down , so the first thing i 'm gon na do is go talk to dr. dreamboat -- sabrina : oh , no , no , no . you are not gon na do that . i have humiliated myself enough for 10 lifetimes , okay ? i just want to -- i just want to forget that the whole thing ever happened , please . felix : all i can say is , if these two fools ca n't see what 's right in front of them , then it 's their loss . we need to focus on the bright side . sabrina : which is ? felix : well , for starters , you were n't fired . you passed the final , which means ... sabrina : which means ? felix : we 're all nurses ! sabrina : right . lucy : i certainly hope so . we have a gigantic event to plan , and it 's not called the student nurses ' ball . [ scene_break ] starr : are you sure elizabeth did n't misunderstand ? michael : that 's what i thought . my parents ca n't make it through a simple conversation without hurling out accusations or threats , but elizabeth swore she saw them kissing , and then aj showed up , and he confirmed it . starr : okay . i do n't want to imply that your father is lying to you , but ... michael : `` but `` ? starr : your father 's lying to you . [ scene_break ] aj : so where are we with reconstructing the relish recipe ? ellie : well , we performed the endoscopy , hoping to locate the paper and extract it surgically . aj : and ? ellie : and ... unfortunately , the acid in his stomach dissolved the recipe . so all we discovered was that damian has the beginnings of an ulcer . spinelli : i 've been under a lot of stress lately , so ... aj : yeah , you 're not the only one . i was really hoping this was gon na work so i would n't have to start with plan `` b. `` spinelli : i 'm sorry . plan `` b `` ? aj : yeah , it 's not a real pretty option . desperate times call for desperate measures . spinelli : [ sighs ] this is all my fault . if i had n't succumbed to tracy 's threats , none of this would have happened , and you would 've been on your way to world relish domination . aj : all i want to do is restore elq , just keep it going for future generations ... maybe prove myself to my son in the process . ellie : i suppose i could try to reconstruct my notes using trial and error . i mean , the other ingredients -- spinelli : you wo n't have to . there 's another way .

[ knock on door ] mcbain : sit tight . molly : rafe ! oh , my god . look at your face . what happened ? sam : she insisted . molly : i was so worried about you . mcbain : i 'm glad she did . [ scene_break ] lucy : financing is not an issue for the nurses ' ball . felix : okay , maybe you did n't hear . while you were , um ... indisposed , the government froze all of elq 's accounts . they put a stop payment on the check . lucy : i know . i heard . okay . did you guys love it ? these little colored tabs ? i love them . look how color - coordinated they are with everything , from the venue , the decora -- sabrina : okay , the thing is , as much as we all want this nurses ' ball to happen , we just do n't have a budget for anything . [ door opens ] elizabeth : hi . okay , i 'm back . sorry . what did i miss ? lucy : well , not much yet . okay , let 's turn -- shall we ? -- to page 15 . you 'll see i had some ideas and some inspirations for the -- [ gasps ] -- centerpieces . [ chuckles ] elizabeth : oh . sabrina : she knows all about elq . felix : and apparently , we 're good to go . elizabeth : oh . oh , okay . well , wow . hmm . lucy : uh , you do n't like my suggestions ? elizabeth : oh , i love them . they 're beautiful . and expensive . lucy : exactly ! that 's what we 're going for -- luxury , elegance -- that kind of impression we 're trying to make . wait ! you 've been to a lot of the nurses ' balls . tell them , tell them what it 's like . elizabeth : yeah , i 've told them that they were absolutely magical . but that was the ' 90s . the economy was in a better place . felix : as much as i love -- love -- to indulge in extravagance , there 's no way we can afford this . sabrina : please -- please do n't misunderstand . we know that obviously you 've worked very hard on this , and we really -- we 're very grateful . lucy : okay . you came to me because you wanted the nurses ' ball done right , right ? okay , well , this is the way we have to go . we have to go with beautiful flowers , gorgeous , in the center of the tables , and every person having filled glasses , champagne sparkling everywhere . we have to work the magic . you have got to spend money to make money . sabrina : lucy , there is no money to spend . how do you expect to pay for all of this ? [ scene_break ] kevin : so you want me to use hypnosis to help ellie recall a molecular diagram that she only saw for as long as it took to jot it down ? spinelli : yeah , that 's -- that 's the plan . kevin : well , uh ... how do you feel about the idea of hypnosis ? ellie : i 'm a little nervous , actually . in college , i went to a hypnosis show in vegas , and they made me sing a song from `` les mis , `` so ... kevin : oh , well , i can promise you there will be no singing . ellie : [ chuckles ] well , i know we need to get this recipe . so if this will help ... kevin : i ca n't make any guarantees , but many subjects have said that hypnosis helps memories come to the surface . spinelli : it 's actually important that no one knows about this , particularly lucy . kevin : oh , i do n't think i 'll be telling anyone that i used hypnotherapy to recover a relish recipe . so , uh , would you mind waiting outside ? spinelli : is -- is that necessary ? kevin : well , the patient needs to concentrate . spinelli : of course . i 'll be right outside . ellie : okay . kevin : all right , ellie . now , just ... try and relax . there . you comfortable ? ellie : yeah . kevin : okay . all right . first thing i 'd like you to do is just ... clear your mind . now , once your thoughts stop racing , i just want you to start counting backwards from 100 . ellie : okay . kevin : you understand ? ellie : yeah . [ breathes deeply ] 100 ... 99 ... 98 ... 97 ... [ scene_break ] lucy : okay . read my lips , my baby nurses -- stop worrying about the money . it will all work out . felix : maybe ms. coe 's right . i mean , you have to spend money to attract money . but without the check from elq , we wo n't be able to afford the startup costs . elizabeth : maybe we could just focus on smaller businesses and get local donations . sabrina : and we scale all of this back . elizabeth : yeah , we could have a banquet , right ? lucy : oh , my goodness ! really ? ! a banquet ? oh , ye of little faith . have you not learned yet ? never underestimate lucy coe . i said it will all work out , and i mean it 's gon na all work out , okay ? okay . we have . the money .

[ scene_break ] kevin : all right , ellie , let 's go back to yesterday morning . you 're in the lab . what do you see ? ellie : i was working in the lab . kevin : were you alone ? ellie : yes . starr just left to go to her father 's trial . we 'd made a batch of the relish , but something was missing -- the secret ingredient . so i 'd done some more research , and i 'd just drawn the diagram for the missing ingredient . i 'd found it . i 'd isolated the missing ingredient . but then damian arrived . damian , your timing is impeccable . kevin : okay . we 've gone just a little too far . let 's just back up a little bit . now , you 've just made the diagram of the missing ingredient . ellie : yes . kevin : let 's go right to that moment . you 've made the diagram . what do you see ? can you see it ? ellie : yes . only it 's blurred . kevin : that 's okay . just keep looking at it . it 'll get clearer . so you see the diagram . can you read it ? ellie : almost . kevin : all right , just stay with it . you 're looking right at the diagram . you can see it . what does it say ? [ scene_break ] molly : you could 've had a concussion . rafe : molly , i 'm fine , really . mcbain : so , the kid watches his mother die , and then he has to confront ... confront a killer , and the city rewards him by sticking him in a group home where every day 's gon na be a fight . i know the system 's supposed to be fair , but this is extreme . sam : well , maybe after this , social services will find a foster home for him . molly : why did n't you call me ? rafe : molly , i 've put you through enough . but i 'm really glad you 're here now . mcbain : so i 'm gon na call social services . molly : what ? no , no , no . you ca n't send rafe back to that place . it 's too dangerous . mcbain : you 're right . you 're not going back there . [ scene_break ] starr : ellie 's getting hypnotized ? spinelli : yeah . it appears to be our last chance at recalling the missing ingredient . michael : look , it 's nice of ellie to agree to this , but at a certain point , we got to cut our losses . starr : michael , that might be easy for you to say , but how do you think aj will feel about it ? [ door opens ] starr : ellie . ellie : hi . spinelli : are -- are you all right ? ellie : yeah , i 'm fine . the experience of being hypnotized was oddly refreshing . kevin : well , you made an excellent subject , ellie . ellie : thanks . starr : okay . so , did it work ? do you remember the secret recipe ? [ scene_break ] elizabeth : lucy , it 's not that we ever doubted you . we just knew that this was a major feat . sabrina : this is just so unexpected . i hope that you did n't feel pressured to do the impossible . felix : ms. coe -- may i call you lucy ? lucy : please do . felix : um , we already think you 're fabulous , and we know how much you care about the nurses ' ball , but ... sometimes things just do n't work out , no matter how much you want them to , so ... you do n't have to say we have the money if we do n't . lucy : oh , my goodness . we have the money . we just have to now plan the most spectacular show ever . felix : may i ? lucy : oh , by all means . felix : [ chuckles ] it 's real . lucy : of course , it is . sabrina : but how ? unless the sec unfroze the quartermaine bank accounts . lucy : which i have n't heard happen , really . it 'll happen , but i do n't know when , but it does n't matter . that is not from elq , and it is certainly not from the quartermaines . felix : look at all the zeroes . elizabeth : where did it come from ? lucy : i do n't know . i have no idea . it just appeared . there was no postmark , no return address . it 's from an anonymous donor . [ scene_break ] aj : i was at the hospital . i was dealing with some elq business . todd : hey , do -- do you even have champagne ? josslyn : i love you , bunny . todd : whoa . no , no , no . joss ? oh , come on . get -- all right , look -- come on . i 'll buy you a real bunny , okay ? mr. bunny does n't want kisses . go color . come on . you 're blocking my view . carly : you know what ? if this arrangement is going to work , you 're gon na have to promise to be civil to me in front of my daughter . aj : why would you even imply that ? joss seems like a really sweet kid . it 's not her fault that she 's related to you . hey , let 's -- let 's get this straight . this little arrangement was your idea , and since we 're on talking terms , i do not appreciate being summoned . carly : i do n't care . todd was here . todd was here , and he thinks this whole thing is a fraud . aj : 'cause it is ! carly : yes , i know that , but todd does n't know that . todd : he does now . | michael tells starr that aj and carly are back together . starr tells him that it is n't true and recounts the whole story of his mother kissing aj in front of todd to prove that she had moved on . she says carly asked her to back up her story . she adds that it wo n't work because todd can tell that it is a pretense and that he is n't going to stop trying to win carly back . todd unexpectedly arrives at carly 's door bearing doughnuts and gives her a hard time about aj 's absence . he tries to extract information from josslyn , but carly intervenes and tells him to leave . a few minutes later , the easter bunny arrives at her door with a basket , a stuffed bunny , and balloons . carly demands that he give it a rest and takes off the head to find that instead of todd , a delivery man is wearing the costume . he says some guy from australia bought the deluxe package . | <s>[INST] [ elevator bell dings ] kevin : really , lucy , there is no need for this . excuse me . i 'm fine . lucy : i know -- i know you 're fine . you 're more than fine . you 're generous and handsome and kind , and you 're very , very forgiving , and i am so glad we 're getting back together . kevin : great ! then let 's go someplace else and celebrate . lucy : we will , but you are still recovering from your injuries , sustained when you had that altercation at ferncliff . kevin : that 's one way to put it . lucy : okay , you got conked , you were unconscious on the freezing concrete . [ sighs ] listen , if you want a future with me , then you need to have your head examined . kevin : i 'll say . lucy : hey ! that 's not funny . please ? please , doc , for me ? promise me you 'll get yourself thoroughly checked out . and i promise you will never , ever hear me say the word `` vamp -- `` the `` v `` word again . [ scene_break ] [ knock on door ] [ scene_break ] sam : molly , you 're a published author . that 's a huge achievement . molly : i know , and i really want to be happy . i am happy , but it just seems so selfish to be focused on my book when i 'm worried about rafe . [ scene_break ] mcbain : what 's up , rafe ? rafe : sorry . i did n't know where else to go . [ scene_break ] felix : okay , let me get this straight . you poured your heart out to dr. dreamboat . sabrina : i told him exactly how i feel . felix : and he did n't sweep you off your feet ? sabrina : nope . felix : and your date with aj quartermaine ? elizabeth : never happened . felix : because you saw him kissing carly jacks . elizabeth : in the middle of the restaurant . does n't really surprise me . carly 's not known for her discretion , but i guess she was just too good for aj to resist . felix : what the hell is wrong with these men ? how could they be so thoughtless ? [ scene_break ] carly : you can say nothing to anyone about this . you start running your mouth , you will never find out who has those elq shares , and your dream of redeeming yourself in michael 's eyes , we know what 'll happen there . aj : i 'm so sorry , elizabeth . ellie : good morning . aj : let 's hope so . how 'd that scan go that you had run ? ellie : uh , you 're referring to the endoscopy which was performed on damian ? aj : uh , yeah , that one . look , if we ca n't reconstruct the relish recipe , i ca n't guarantee the future of elq . ellie , please , michael and i are really counting on you . [ scene_break ] starr : you have any idea what time it is ? michael , we 're supposed to meet ellie and spinelli in 10 minutes ! what are you doing ? ! come on ! aj 's waiting for us ! michael : he 's got his mind on other things right now . starr : what does that mean ? michael : he 's back together with my mom . [ scene_break ] [ doorbell rings ] carly : oh , okay . you know what ? you can color that in . h [ scene_break ] rafe : sorry . i did n't have anywhere else to go . mcbain : do n't apologize . it 's good to see you . you want to tell me what happened ? rafe : things got a little ugly at the group home . mcbain : you should 've called me . i would 've come picked you up . you run here ? you take the bus ? rafe : i took the bus . thought about going to molly 's house , but i 've put her through enough grief . [ scene_break ] sam : you 're thinking about rafe , huh ? what about tj ? molly : i was n't thinking about rafe like that . i just have n't heard from him since they threw him in that group home . sam : well , i 'm sure he made it there okay . molly : i just want to know if he 's okay . is that too much to ask ? sam : no . why do n't you call him ? molly : how ? rafe does n't have a cell phone . i ca n't even text him . sam : okay . well , remember there is a thing called land lines . molly : yes , but i do n't even know what home social service sent him to , so even if i wanted to call him on a land line , it 's impossible . sam : maybe not . [ scene_break ] felix : what the hell was aj doing kissing on carly ? she told me that he fills her with murderous rage . of course , there 's a thin line between love and hate . elizabeth : in carly 's case , it 's lust and hate . but if aj does n't know by now to stay away from carly after all the misery she has caused him , then that is his problem , not mine . felix : clearly , there 's a lot of history here to which i am not privy . fortunately for you , i know your story up and down , so the first thing i 'm gon na do is go talk to dr. dreamboat -- sabrina : oh , no , no , no . you are not gon na do that . i have humiliated myself enough for 10 lifetimes , okay ? i just want to -- i just want to forget that the whole thing ever happened , please . felix : all i can say is , if these two fools ca n't see what 's right in front of them , then it 's their loss . we need to focus on the bright side . sabrina : which is ? felix : well , for starters , you were n't fired . you passed the final , which means ... sabrina : which means ? felix : we 're all nurses ! sabrina : right . lucy : i certainly hope so . we have a gigantic event to plan , and it 's not called the student nurses ' ball . [ scene_break ] starr : are you sure elizabeth did n't misunderstand ? michael : that 's what i thought . my parents ca n't make it through a simple conversation without hurling out accusations or threats , but elizabeth swore she saw them kissing , and then aj showed up , and he confirmed it . starr : okay . i do n't want to imply that your father is lying to you , but ... michael : `` but `` ? starr : your father 's lying to you . [ scene_break ] aj : so where are we with reconstructing the relish recipe ? ellie : well , we performed the endoscopy , hoping to locate the paper and extract it surgically . aj : and ? ellie : and ... unfortunately , the acid in his stomach dissolved the recipe . so all we discovered was that damian has the beginnings of an ulcer . spinelli : i 've been under a lot of stress lately , so ... aj : yeah , you 're not the only one . i was really hoping this was gon na work so i would n't have to start with plan `` b. `` spinelli : i 'm sorry . plan `` b `` ? aj : yeah , it 's not a real pretty option . desperate times call for desperate measures . spinelli : [ sighs ] this is all my fault . if i had n't succumbed to tracy 's threats , none of this would have happened , and you would 've been on your way to world relish domination . aj : all i want to do is restore elq , just keep it going for future generations ... maybe prove myself to my son in the process . ellie : i suppose i could try to reconstruct my notes using trial and error . i mean , the other ingredients -- spinelli : you wo n't have to . there 's another way . [ scene_break ] carly : i -- todd : i brought doughnuts . carly : i do n't want any doughnuts . todd : oh , come on . everybody loves doughnuts . doughnuts are delicious . hey , maybe ... aj wants a doughnut . carly : you can not just walk into my house and do this , you know ? todd : hey , sugar twist ! you want a bear claw ? ! see , i know that your completely legitimate boyfriend is here because you 're in a totally non - bogus relationship . carly : you 're trespassing in my home . you know that . todd : for a good cause . right ? carly : no . todd : carly , your boyfriend does n't seem to be coming down the stairs . carly : i do n't have to explain anything to you . anything ! josslyn : hi , mr. manning ! todd : hey , joss . wow . do n't you look pretty . you look just like your mom . josslyn : i drew this for you . todd : you did ? oh , let me see . [ gasps ] how did you know i was a pirate ? josslyn : because you are ! todd : that 's right , i are ! and you know what ? i 'll give ye a cruller if ye tell me a tale about your mother and uncle aj . did mommy and uncle aj have a sleepover party last night ? carly : okay , all right . you know what ? you 're gon na go in the kitchen and color , okay ? you get those . can you pick those up ? come on . say goodbye to mr. manning . josslyn : goodbye . carly : you can carry these , and i 'll be right with you . thank you , sweetie . what is wrong with you ? you do not need to ask my daughter things about my houseguests or anything else ! todd : i was just trying to give her a cruller . carly : no , you were n't . you were trying to bribe her . todd : well , i would n't have to bribe the preschooler -- would i ? -- if you would just admit the truth . carly : what ? todd : you and aj -- whatever his name is -- you do n't have anything in common . the only thing you have in common is michael and your mutual dislike for one another . anything else is pure fiction . carly : there is nothing pure about me and aj . todd : tell me about it . i saw your skin crawling every time he touched you . carly : you know what ? i 'm with him , okay ? and your daughter even told you that . todd : yeah , my daughter is lying , just like you are . carly : you 're out of here . todd : hey , i get it . no , i understand . all right ? i know what it 's like to be scared . you do n't want to open yourself up because you 're afraid that i 'm gon na hurt you . so you 're trying really , really hard to not know what it is that you know that you know . carly : that makes no sense at all ! you realize that . todd : you 're right , you 're right . i 'll simplify it . i totally screwed up . not the first time in my life i 've screwed up , and i hope that i get to screw up with you again , because i feel like you and i are really great together . please take me back . carly : goodbye ... todd . get out of here . goodbye . todd : mm . give my best to aj . [ breathes deeply ] [ scene_break ] spinelli : so , as i understand it , you and starr deciphered most of the recipe . correct ? ellie : right . but she was n't there when i ascertained the mystery ingredient . spinelli : yeah , but nevertheless , someone in the room knows the secret . aj : who ? spinelli : you . ellie : me ? spinelli : yeah , you drew the molecular diagram . ellie : i jotted it down , much as you would a phone number or a street address when you ask for directions . i did n't have time to analyze the diagram , and unfortunately , i do n't have photographic memory . spinelli : yeah , you wo n't need one . so , the recipe may be in my stomach , but the information is in your head , hidden in your memory . and i know a way to find it .

[ scene_break ] starr : remember how i told you i was going to have a peaceful night in watching `` reptile wranglers `` and ordering in chinese food ? well , did n't exactly turn out that way . michael : why not ? starr : because my dad waylaid the delivery man and brought me the chinese food himself . only that was just an excuse . michael : i 'm afraid to ask . starr : you should be . turns out i was n't his first stop . he went to see your mom as soon as he got out of prison . he tried to get her back , apologized for all the terrible things that he had done , and carly wanted to prove to him that she had moved on , so she kissed aj right in front of him . michael : yeah , i know . i just do n't buy , after all of these years of hating each other , they 're suddenly just hooking up . starr : yeah , my dad did n't buy it either . that 's why he asked me whether i knew anything about carly and aj being together , and i told him that i did . michael : so you lied . starr : yeah , i did . because your mom asked me to . [ scene_break ] carly : [ sighs ] josslyn , you are a very good judge of character . josslyn : did you have a sleepover with uncle aj ? carly : no . no , i did not . mr. manning was wrong about that , and he 's wrong about a lot of things most of the time .

[ scene_break ] epiphany : i hate to be the voice of reason here , but why are n't you at home getting ready for your wedding ? patrick : i 'm a guy . i have plenty of time to get ready . epiphany : why are you tempting fate ? patrick : epiphany , do n't get all superstitious on me . i 've got plenty of time to go take care of my patients , make sure everybody 's okay , go home , and get changed and ready for my wedding . epiphany : famous last words . [ scene_break ] sonny : you have no idea what i 've been through , what my life has been . olivia : i read the papers . sonny : that 's not me . police rap sheets , newspaper reports , they do n't describe who i am . olivia : you look me in the eye , and you tell me you 're not still a power junkie . sonny : well , i have my limits . like i said before , i have no intention of marrying claudia . kate : you see , olivia ? you got all fired up for nothing . sonny : he 's gone . kate : okay . sonny : how 're you doing ? kate : okay . sonny : come on . olivia : connie , you 're kidding yourself . you 're doing it all over again , connie . you 're believing his lies , just like you believed him when he told you that he was out of the mob . kate : leave it . olivia : i do n't care what promises he makes to you . i do n't care what words he says . if marrying claudia is going to get him his power back , honey , that 's what he is going to do . and you need to have the decency to tell her the truth and stop stringing her along . kate : you know , olivia , i am starting to think that the reason you 're all fired up about this is because you want sonny , after all . [ scene_break ] claudia : daddy . claudia : your pulse is all over the place . i used to pray for this when i was a little girl , that something like this would happen to you for all the horrible things you 've done . maybe this is god answering my prayers . johnny : what happened ? claudia : he was yelling at me and then he collapsed . what are you doing ? johnny : i 'm calling for help . claudia : no . john , think about it . think about how much better our lives would be without that old bastard in it . johnny : what are you talking about ? he 's our father . i do n't care what he 's done . claudia : please , johnny . let the old man die . [ scene_break ] robin : uncle mac , calm down . everything 's fine . mac : jason still ca n't stay for the wedding . maxie : that 's probably something we should have discussed before . mac : look at him . he 's not even dressed for a wedding . you know better than to show up here , jason . robin : okay , can i just have a moment alone with him , please ? elizabeth : i 'm going to get the bride 's room ready . maxie : yeah , the bride 's in charge on her wedding day . that 's tradition , so -- robin : so , what changed your mind about coming to the wedding ? jason : well , maxie made me think twice about why i should accept your invitation . robin : good . i just have another thing to thank her for . jason : so , i am going to leave it up to you . robin : well , if it 's up to me , then i want you here . [ scene_break ] patrick : mr. costas is running a high fever . i put him on cefazolin , 1 gram , i.v . , and piggyback q8 . leyla : okay , i 'll take care of it doctor . patrick : thank you . matt : nurse mir , did radiology send over any x - rays for the patient in 1023 ? leyla : i 'll do that right now . matt : thank you . what ? patrick : about the wedding -- matt : yeah , you do n't want me there . i do n't want to be there . we finally agree on something . patrick : look , robin would like you there . so would i . matt : this wedding is making you soft , and for your own good , i 'm advising you to remain a hard - ass . patrick : before i realized that we were related , i did n't really like you much . i thought you had a bad attitude , and i thought you were arrogant . matt : stop , stop . i 'm getting warm and fuzzy . patrick : but then i realized where the attitude was coming from . noah abandoned you . so , i 'm cutting you a break . matt : do n't make excuses for me . patrick : i know it 's easier to just hate me , but we 're brothers . matt : technicality . patrick : it 's a reality , and i do n't have a lot of family . matt : do you have any idea how uncomfortable i am right now ? patrick : look , if you can make it to the wedding , i 'd appreciate it . robin and i would both like to have you there . [ scene_break ] robin : hi . elizabeth : hey . maxie : okay . so , everything is under control . robin : i know . maxie : no , seriously . all i have to do is wait for the caterers to show up , make sure the cake gets here in one piece , and that the limo does n't break down . elizabeth : but , other than that , everything is under control . robin : i trust you completely , maxie . maxie : of course you do . oh , damn -- the priest . i did n't mean damn . not in a church . robin : it 's okay . it 's technically the bride 's room . i do n't think you 're going to hell . elizabeth : okay . so , up or down ? robin : i do n't care , as long as you keep doing this . maxie : i know you meant whatever looks best with your dress . robin : i really do n't care either way . maxie : are you losing it ? robin : maxie , come on . do it with me -- deep breath . [ both exhale ] robin : hey , thank you for talking to jason . it means a lot to me that he 's here . maxie : well , i thought it was kind of selfish of him not to show up on your special day . and do n't worry about patrick . robin : oh , i 'm -- maxie : spinelli will make sure he gets here in one piece . elizabeth : now you can worry . robin : you know , patrick and i have done enough worrying for two lifetimes , but the second i agreed to marry him , i have n't had a second thought . elizabeth : reverse hormones . maxie : okay , i 'm going to go make four quick phone calls , and then i 'm going to go home and change , but i 'll make it back here in time to do your makeup . everything will be great . you will see . robin : i am sure . wait -- wait -- hold on -- hold on . i have to tell you something . i love you , very much . maxie : oh , god . [ laughing ] robin : bye . elizabeth : okay , now you can relax . all i have to do is your hair , and you can be as worried as you want in front of me . robin : you know what ? i keep waiting to get nervous , but i 'm not . you know , i keep waiting for this wave of panic to hit me , to tell me that i 'm doing something wrong , but all i feel is very content and like i ca n't wait to marry patrick . [ scene_break ] matt : look , if you 're asking me to your wedding out of some sense of obligation , do n't bother . the fact that noah blew me off my entire life does n't mean that you owe me squat . patrick : hey , noah was m.i.a . for most of my childhood , also -- emotionally speaking . so , honestly , i do n't know what 's worse -- the fact that you did n't know him or that he was there for me but felt like a stranger . leyla : dr. drake ? patrick : yes ? leyla : nurse johnson sent me to tell you that she 's gone to get ready for your wedding and so should you . patrick : yes , yes . tell her i 'm right behind her . leyla : okay . patrick : thank you . matt : see , this is why weddings are such a bad idea . they bring out the worst in everyone . patrick : okay , matt , bottom line . we 're brothers . now , we can build on that or not , but i 'm making you an offer , and i really hope you accept . [ scene_break ] maxie : this is a disaster . you 're not in your tux . i 'm not in my dress . we need to get out of here so we can get back here . so that we 're not no - shows at robin 's wedding , because i planned it . mac : come here . come here a second . maxie : dad , if this is about jason -- mac : sit down . it 's not about jason , all right . i 'm obviously powerless over that insanity . no , i 'm just -- i 'm just sitting here wondering where the time goes . you know , the first time i saw robin was at kelly 's ? she was this adorable , in - your - face little girl who absolutely knew her own mind and would n't take `` no `` for an answer . maxie : so , she has n't changed much . [ both laugh ] mac : you know , i hate to admit it , but back then i was a bit of a trouble maker . and one day i thought my brother and his wife had been killed , and suddenly i found myself responsible for raising their child . and you were n't far behind . i blinked , married your mom , and got you and georgie in the bargain . and what a bargain it was . maxie : sometimes it does n't seem fair . it 's almost like you got stuck with us . you know , raising us , putting up with us , and you did n't even ask for it . mac : well , if it ever bothered me , i do n't remember -- especially on a day like today . wow , robin 's getting married . soon she 'll have a baby . it could n't be more perfect . maxie : what do you think you would have done if you had n't fallen in love with my mom ? mac : hmm , hmm . i do n't know . who knows , you know ? when you 're young , you 're all about your career . you define yourself by what you do , and not who you are . in those days , it was all about going off on some adventure to save the world , and then i became police commissioner and it was about busting the bad guys . but the most important -- most important thing i ever did in my whole life was raise you three girls . the rest is gravy . maxie : well , i think you did a really great job with robin and georgie . mac : i think i did a really great job with you , too . i love you , maxie . so much . you know , you , robin , and georgie are my true success . i miss your sister . i wish she could be here with us . maxie : she is , dad . [ scene_break ] olivia : connie was completely out of line there . sonny : okay , olivia , kate is in no condition to hear any stories about me marrying claudia . you -- do me a favor -- let it go . olivia : she 's in condition to make snide comments and get all up in my face with this crap about me being jealous . that -- it 's completely no basis in reality , okay ? okay , the smartest day of my life was the day that i dumped you on the corner of 19th and sullivan and walked out of your life . sonny : well , you did n't really walk out of my life . did you ? because you just broke into my damn house , and you obviously feel something or else you would n't be getting in my face . [ scene_break ] leyla : patrick . patrick : i know , i know . i 'm almost done . leyla : okay , you do realize that everybody who is going to your wedding has actually left the hospital . patrick : i do , okay . look -- officially signed out . the next time i sign in , i 'm a married man . leyla : good . oh , patrick ? patrick : yeah ? leyla : i just want you to know that i wish you and robin every happiness . i really mean it . patrick : i know you do . thank you for that . okay ? so , that 's it . leyla : go . go , go , go . doctor : patient suffered a grand mal , an aneurysm that 's slowly leaking . patrick : well , i 'm off duty . i ca n't -- leyla : dr. drake has a prior engagement . johnny : i will pay you anything to save my father . [ scene_break ] olivia : i am completely impervious to you , sonny . i look at you . i feel exactly nothing . sonny : yeah , really ? then why are you so angry ? olivia : because i ca n't stand what you 're doing to my cousin . okay , i got to stand here like a dummy and watch her swallow your lies whole . it 's making me feel sick -- sonny : i 'm not lying . olivia : you 're lying so good you do n't even know you 're doing it . sonny : why do you keep saying i 'm lying , when i 'm not lying ? olivia : okay , i -- i give you that . you believe your own lies . you got yourself convinced that you would n't touch this claudia zacchara with a ten foot pole , which is a very good instinct by the way , but it 's a massive case of self - deception . sonny : you know what ? this is just -- it seems so familiar -- you going off on a rant because you do n't want to see me anymore , you do n't want me to call . and then if i do n't call you or see you , then you get pissed off . because you were never really good at saying what you really mean . olivia : no , you were never really good at hearing what i was saying . just -- you just do whatever the hell you want . like the time you cut school to take me to a yankees game , when you stole the money for the tickets -- sonny : no , i did n't steal -- hey , i did n't steal the money for -- i did n't steal . enzo owed me money . olivia : or making a deal with this zacchara guy that makes you the king of the mob , only you got to marry his crazy daughter first . sonny : i 'm not about to discuss business with you . olivia : you do n't have to discuss squat with me , sonny , because i know what i know -- and i know you . and i know that you 'll do anything to get power , even if you got to break your own heart . [ scene_break ] robin : thank you so much for doing my hair . if maxie would have done it , i think she would have left me bald or burned my hair or something . [ laughing ] elizabeth : well , after everything you 've been through , it is my pleasure to add a small contribution to your big day . robin : i do n't know what i was so afraid of . i mean , everything just feels right . elizabeth : you know , with all the disappointments i have had in my life , it 's really hard for me not to be cynical , and i want to believe that love is possible . and when i see you like this , i know it is . robin : hey , come here . sit down for a second . please ? i just want you to know that i 'm really glad that we 're friends . your friendship means a lot to me , and you 're such a generous person , and , well -- i have a little confession to make . [ laughing ] robin : i did n't invite jason to the wedding just for me . i wanted him to be able to look at you through the ceremony and maybe get some ideas . elizabeth : i do n't really know how to feel about that . robin : well , let me put it this way . you 're a good friend . i care about jason a lot , and it would make me so happy if the two of you were to end up together . so , since today is all about me elizabeth : mm - hmm . robin : you 're just going to have to indulge me on this one . elizabeth : i 'll try . [ scene_break ] claudia : we do n't want patrick drake to do this surgery . he 's too good . johnny : you do n't want dad to die . claudia : yeah , i do . johnny : claudia . claudia : i do . johnny : i know you , and if i had n't called the ambulance in time , you would have . claudia : john , if daddy dies , this ridiculous plan dies with him , and i wo n't have to marry a man that i -- that i despise . you will be in control of the business everything will be exactly the way that we need it to be , the way that we want it to be . how 's anthony ? patrick : i 'm sorry . claudia : is he dead ? patrick : we 've confirmed that there 's blood leaking into his brain from an aneurysm , and that 's what caused the seizure . we do n't know when , but when it erupts , he 'll die within minutes . he needs immediate surgery . johnny : can you save him ? [ scene_break ] robin : do you think your dad 's nervous at all ? [ chuckles ] robin : maybe just a little bit , right ? you know this is going to be a huge adjustment for him , so you and i are going to have to be very , very patient . robin : do you know how crazy in love i am with your dad ? i mean , it was just silly of me to ever hesitate marrying him because ever since the moment i said `` i will `` everything has been perfect . [ laughs ] robin : well , i 'm glad that you agree . i feel so blessed to be having you -- and so grateful . i 'm so lucky to have found a man like your dad that loves me the way that he does . but you know , well , your dad was something of a ladies man . so , he may not take to domestic life so easily . but do n't you worry . it 's going to be an adventure for all of us . [ scene_break ] olivia : you do what you got to do , sonny . okay ? all i 'm asking is that you be honest with my cousin . sonny : well , you 're not asking . you hardly ever did . that was one of your problems . olivia : that 's not an answer . sonny : you want an answer ? olivia : yeah . sonny : i 'll give you an answer . my son was shot . he 's in a coma . kate was shot right in front of me . i will avenge kate 's shooting . and in order for me to do that , i have to get back in the mob . end of conversation . olivia : this is so typical . this is so typical you . yeah , you make up your mind about something , and then you do n't care how much it hurts you , or how much pain it causes people around you . sonny : you just figured it out . i 'm just a heartless bastard , right ? olivia : sonny , sonny . i do n't think you 're some crazy sociopath who enjoys killing people . okay ? but you accept murder as a necessary evil . am i wrong ? tell me i 'm wrong . sonny : the door 's right there . olivia : too close to the truth ? sonny : no , no , not really . you want to know the truth ? i kill bad people . karpov is a bad man . and he will pay for shooting kate . i need that inside of me . olivia : see , this is only half about revenge , sonny . what you really want is your power back . you want to be back in the mob . you want your mob life back . do n't worry about it . all you got to do is marry claudia zacchara to get it .

[ scene_break ] lauren : fen is upset for you taking responsibility for killing carmine . he hates the fact that you 're paying for a crime that you did n't do , so our son ... naively ... commits a crime where he will get imprisoned . michael : oh ... what kind of crime ? lauren : he bought drugs . michael : what ? lauren : he felt that if he was thrown in jail , that you would no longer have to protect him and would stop lying . therefore , you would recant your confession , and then you would be free . michael : so he violated the terms of his plea bargain for the drug theft charge . lauren : right . michael : and they automatically sent him here to finish out his time . lauren : this is such a mess . michael : how big a mess ? lauren : he had drugs on him . michael : how much ? lauren : a lot . michael : how much ? quantity ? what 's the quantity we 're talking here ? lauren : enough to get convicted of a felony .

[ scene_break ] victor : i hope you 're not here to cast further aspersions on katherine . jill : you know , you all thought that katherine was a smart , strong , savvy woman , and she was masking her heart of gold with a tough veneer . victor : sounds about right . jill : it was n't . oh , she was smart and savvy , all right , but that veneer -- that was n't a veneer . she was vindictive to her core . victor : you do n't really believe that . jill : oh , yes , i do believe that . victor : you do ? i always thought that , in spite of all of your fights and arguments , you cared deeply for one another . jill : she pretended to care deeply for me . victor : uh - huh . well , be that as it may , jill , um , because we are talking about katherine and because chancellor industries used to belong to her , i will offer you a position at the newly reconfigured company . jill : excuse me ? you are offering me a job ? victor : does that surprise you ? jill : [ scoffing ] yeah . that insults me . i used to run chancellor , victor , and i ran it damn well . so , no , i wo n't be taking any orders from you . victor : well , as you like it . okay ? now , if you came here to harangue me about a situation not of my own making , i think this business is concluded . jill : you know what ? this conversation may be over , but our business -- it 's far from concluded . victor : you have a nice day . jill : yeah , you have a good day , too , victor .

olivia : sonny had -- connie : [ gasps ] geez ! olivia : he had a meeting . he asked me to fill in . connie : i 'm not gon na skip bail and make a run for it if that 's what he 's thinking . olivia : it 's not . connie : does n't he have goons for this type of thing ? olivia : i 'm not here as a guard . connie : you here as a friend ? olivia : sonny said you 've been sleeping ever since you got back from the hospital . he did n't want you to wake up and be all alone . connie : oh , okay . olivia : hey . sonny wants to take care of you . and so do i . spinelli : so , are you ready for the perfect gift ? ellie : is it champagne ? spinelli : uh , no . it 's a special collector 's edition of `` 2001 : a space odyssey . `` is there a reason you wanted champagne ? ellie : yeah . because of this . spinelli : are you doing that ? ellie : can you believe that ? ! spinelli : so , you 're sure that 's not involuntary ? ellie : no . my brain is telling my toes to move , and they 're moving ! damian , i 'm not paralyzed ! maxie : i 'm pregnant ? britt : yes . maxie : so , you were wrong . i did n't lose dante and lulu 's baby . britt : oh , no . that -- that 's not what that means . maxie : i do n't understand . if i 'm still pregnant ... britt : not still . you 're pregnant again . olivia : can i get you anything ? connie : something to eat would n't kill me . olivia : you 're in luck . i just stocked your fridge . connie : oh . great . i 'll make something . olivia : i got it . i 'll do it . connie : it 's all right , liv . you do n't have to be here . you can go . i 'm fine . olivia : you 're not fine . connie , i ca n't even imagine what that must have been like for you to watch trey slip away right in front of your eyes . connie : no , you ca n't imagine , liv , because you have a son . mine , he 's gone . my family , gone . olivia : your family 's not gone . connie : oh , that 's right . i forgot about my beloved murdering husband . as you can see , he 's not really here for me . olivia : i 'm not talking about johnny . i 'm talking about me . sonny : well , do n't keep me in suspense here . who 's the son of a bitch who shot jason in the back ? anna : duke lavery . sonny : your husband , the one who resurfaced ? anna : no , the one who was impersonating him . cesar faison . he was using duke 's identity to get to me , you see ? sonny : i hear you . anna : so , now listen . um , with faison 's confession , he said that he shot -- he shot jason in the back and he kicked him into the harbor . now , he swears that jason never moved , which leads me to believe that he was probably dead before he hit the water . sonny : where is faison now ? anna : he 's at a maximum - security prison in geneva . now , i brought you in here because i do n't want you to go after the real duke . sonny : the real duke ? anna : this is where it gets complicated . duke was being held by faison at this clinic in switzerland . and he was using him to extract information , you know , to get to me . but anyway , now duke is back here in town . sonny : well , that works out well for you . anna : you think so ? sonny : well , you get to welcome , you know , the right man back in your life . anna : oh , it 's not that simple when you already welcomed the wrong one . duke : in a manner of speaking , anna kept me alive all these years . i could always see her face so clearly . i could hear her voice urging me to -- to be strong and to come back to her safely . so , i did . and here i am . felicia : thank god . duke : but , of course , intellectually , i ... i knew she could n't wait because she thought i was dead , so she would have moved on . mac : but emotionally , it was a different story . duke : yeah . i always dreamt that , uh , one day we would be reunited . felicia : and now you have been . duke : thanks to the efforts of john mcbain and robert . what -- what news on his condition ? mac : i spoke to holly earlier . there 's no change . duke : i 'm so sorry . mac : hey , what happened to robert 's not your fault . faison is responsible for all of it . felicia : mac 's right . you could n't control that monster 's actions . he held you prisoner . he stole your life . he tried to take everything from you . duke : yeah , i ca n't help wondering if he succeeded in the end . lulu : thank god . i was completely freaking out . i 'm sorry . is that okay ? luke : no , no . it feels really good . really good . dante : well , when she heard that gunshot ... lulu : and the bloodstain . i 'm just , i 'm so relieved . dante : what the hell happened ? luke : just your run - of - the - mill prison riot . i took a bullet meant for , uh , one of the guards . i 've been in what they laughingly call the infirmary ever since . lulu : and you could n't figure out that he was alive ? dante : okay . your father 's safe . that 's all that matters , right ? lulu : yes . right . dante : look , can you please get the papers we need to get mr. spencer released ? lulu : here , do you want to sit down ? i mean , you 've been shot . luke : oh , no , no . i 'm fine . i 'm fine . lulu : no , you 've been shot . luke : i 'm fine . how about you ? lulu : i 'm good now . luke : yeah ? and that kid is still safely gestating in maxie 's womb ? dante : [ chuckles ] maxie : what do you mean , `` again `` ? this is -- this is , like , new ? you mean , i 'm pregnant again since i miscarried ? britt : well , i 'd have to run a more in - depth test to get specific information about the timeframe . but your hcg levels found in your blood are a positive indicator of pregnancy . maxie : how is that possible ? britt : it must have happened the old - fashioned way . maxie : oh . spinelli : this is a most joyous discovery ! ellie , you 're gon na walk again . ellie : maybe . spinelli : maybe ? well , you just wiggled your adorable digits ! ellie : yeah , i know , but there was more to my injury than just the inability to move . but hey , will you `` this little piggy `` me ? spinelli : why , yes , of course . ellie : [ laughs ] spinelli : are you ready ? ellie : mm - hmm . i 'm ready . spinelli : okay . this little piggy went -- ellie : i feel it ! spinelli : you do ? ellie : yes ! spinelli : okay . i 'm gon na go get a doctor . ellie : okay . spinelli : oh , my goodness ! ellie : [ laughs ] not if he finds you first . steven : what 's going on ? ellie : this . steven : wow . spinelli : an incredible `` feet , `` huh ? pun intended . ellie 's gon na be fine . steven : let 's take a look . all right . [ sighs ] can you feel that ? ellie : [ laughing ] yeah ! steven : all right . how about that ? ellie : yeah , i feel it ! i feel it ! [ sighs ] britt : well , this should n't be too difficult to figure out . have you had intercourse recently ? spinelli : come on . let 's evacuate the premises , okay ? it is frigid up here . in more ways than one . i will take you anywhere you want . well , more accurately , i will accompany you , because i am in no way fit to drive . maxie : home . i just want to go home . spinelli : home it is . maxie : [ sniffles ] maxie : oh , my god . spinelli . duke : of course , i ca n't expect everything to be the same . i mean , it 's been two decades . felicia : has it really been decades ? mac : yeah . afraid so . duke : yeah , i mean , the one thing i did n't expect was for anna to recoil every time i try to touch her . felicia : that must be an exaggeration . duke : she does not exactly welcome my advances . mac : why do n't you give anna some time , you know ? she 's had shock after shock . it 's a lot to process . duke : yeah . well , the specter of faison looms large . every time she looks at me , she sees his face . felicia : she wo n't forever . duke : [ chuckles ] forever . it seems like it 's been that long i 've waited for anna to love me . now i do n't know what to expect , especially now that there 's another man in the way . dante : uh , the baby 's great , right ? lulu : yeah . uh , but i - i ... you know , i 've been , uh , pretty worried . luke : well , sure . it must be stressful having somebody else carry your child . lulu : yeah . there 's that . but also we 've had a few incidents . luke : incidents ? lulu : i mean , nothing major . everything is fine . it 's just on new year 's eve , maxie chased after a dog and she tripped and fell , but the baby is fine . it 's just , obviously we 've been pretty worried . luke : sweetheart , you left in the middle of all that to come and find me ? lulu : yeah , you were in trouble . of course i came . luke : [ sighs ] well , it 's time to get you back home . dante : i second that . luke : i 'm a little anxious to get out of his hellhole myself . lulu : is it awful ? luke : oh , it 's been a picnic , but i 'd kind of like to get back to my real life , back to anna . anna : [ sighs ] whole thing just seems like a bad dream that i ca n't wake up from . could n't see faison for who he was , even though spencer could . i could n't . i should have been able to , but i could n't . and now duke is paying the price . sonny : he 's upset with you ? anna : well , yeah . he should be . all he 's trying to do is reconnect , and i 'm having a very hard time doing that . sonny : well , it makes sense . i mean , you -- you 've been through so much , right ? anna : why am i confiding in you ? sonny : 'cause it 's much easier arresting me , right ? [ chuckles ] anna : much . sonny : it 's true . we 're on opposite sides of everything , except when it comes to robin . anna : she loved us . both of us . sonny : you know , i do n't know why , but she , you know , she confided in me . she used to tell me personal stuff . i mean , you do n't have to if you do n't want to . it 's up to you . anna : no , i 'm not going to make a habit of this , obviously . sonny : right . anna : i do n't expect you to understand . sonny : well , i may surprise you , because when you look at duke , you see faison . when i look at connie , i ca n't help but ... see kate . connie : so , all of a sudden , we 're family now ? i thought you were on team kate . olivia : i really got to love kate , you know ? i did . but if i 'm being totally honest , when she decided to turn into kate howard , turn back on brooklyn and on me and on everything , i ... i really missed connie . and i know that you two are not the same person , but sometimes ... sometimes you are more like my real cousin connie , like that -- that -- that girl i grew up with who was my best friend than kate could ever be . connie : really ? olivia : yeah . really . i look at you sometimes , and i -- and i see that same troublemaker , you know , that spitfire that used to practice dancing on the roof , practicing for our hot dates , you know ? you know , we always said that we would dance at each other 's weddings . connie : yeah , well , sorry about that . there was no dance floor at city hall . [ chuckles ] olivia : well , there will be one at my -- connie : [ gasps ] wow ! [ laughing ] oh , my god ! that did n't mean nothing . olivia : i know . i know . connie : i know you still think i 'm crazy . olivia : well , i guess it runs in the family , huh ? connie : still having your hallucinations ? olivia : uh , i think my son 's surrogate is giving birth to a dog . connie : [ laughs ] yeah , i guess so , huh ? olivia : yeah . i guess that 's a `` yes . `` [ chuckles ] maxie : i - i , uh , slept with someone in new year 's . well , not -- not someone . uh , spinelli . britt : is that your boyfriend ? maxie : no , he used to be , but he has a girlfriend now . britt : and you slept with him anyway ? maxie : well , i was sad about losing the baby , and he was drunk . those are n't the best reasons to have sex , but ... i thought there was a chance for us . i was wrong . spinelli : so , will ellie be able to walk out of here , literally speaking ? steven : she 's gon na have a long , uh , road of physical therapy ahead . her injuries are gon na take some time to fully heal . ellie : but they will , right ? heal ? steven : all signs point to a full recovery . spinelli : yes ! steven : only if you 're willing to do some hard work . ellie : yeah . i am . steven : okay . well , then , you should be walking before you know it . ellie : thank you so much . steven : i did n't do a thing . ellie : oh , my god . i 'm so happy , i could just start crying right now . [ voice breaking ] which i am . spinelli : ellie , without a doubt , this is the best possible news i could have received today . ellie : yeah . [ chuckles ] maxie : so , i 'm pregnant , but with spinelli 's baby ? what am i gon na do ? steven : i 've always been cautiously hopeful about ellie 's condition , but her progress toward full recovery has completely exceeded my expectations . good work . ellie : it 's because of you . spinelli : no . ellie : yes , it is . hey , having you by my side , damian , there 's no way i would have gotten through this without you . spinelli : it 's a good day . ellie : hey , so good , i do n't even care that your enthusiasm inadvertently crushed the `` 2001 `` dvd . spinelli : what ? oh , my goodness . it appears i may have stood on it . ellie : yeah , it appears you have . spinelli : well , you know what ? i will go out and procure another copy . ellie : no . no , no . i ... i just would rather have you here . spinelli : then here i will stay . maxie : i ca n't believe this is happening . how is this happening ? britt : okay , take a deep breath . maxie : okay . is that gon na make me magically unpregnant with my ex - boyfriend 's child ? britt : you love him , right ? maxie : yes , of course i love him ! but he does n't love me . or even if he does , he does n't want to be with me . he wants to be with ellie . what was that look ? britt : no look . maxie : no , no . i - i saw a look . it was like a `` this might not actually be so bad , `` which is n't possible because this is as bad as it gets . britt : i do n't know . maxie : i do . britt : i 've seen men go completely over the moon when they find out they 're gon na be a father . even when they were n't expecting it . maxie : so , what ? you think finding out that i 'm carrying his child will make spinelli change his mind about me ? lulu : i 've been waiting on hold for five minutes . luke : yeah , i did n't get a chance to talk to anna much . i mean , i do know that i was right . lavery was n't who he said he was . turns out , he was faison . dante : i wish i had more details . anna came in to town as we were leaving , and i did n't get a chance to debrief with her . we 'll be needing your signature . luke : oh , well , if it 's gon na get me out of here , you can have anything you want . thank you . oh , come to papa . [ smooches ] lulu : [ sighs ] all right . flight 's been booked , so , uh , we should get out of here as soon as we can . dante : hey , maybe we 'll even have time to get to maxie 's doctor 's appointment , yeah ? luke : well , that 'll be fine as long as you drop me at the pcpd on the way . i have to make sure anna 's okay . lulu : just do me a favor and try and have some tact . luke : tact ? you mean do n't point out the fact that if she had listened to me , she could have saved herself a buttload of trouble ? lulu : yes . just try to be grateful that fake duke is not an issue . luke : and not competition . felicia : faison 's in prison . he ca n't come after you and anna anymore . duke : well , i was n't just referring to him . you see , i - i heard anna on the phone with luke spencer , and i got the impression that there 's more there than just friendship . mac : you 'd be right . felicia : well , yes . luke and anna were seeing each other . mac : and living together . felicia : well , yes , they were roommates . that 's true . they were friends , and it morphed into something more . but then when luke started going after duke -- well , i mean , the other duke . duke : [ groans ] felicia : oh , i 'm sorry . i keep doing that . mac : look , can we just forget about luke and faison for the moment ? i was n't around when you and anna were together , but we spoke of you sometimes , and it was clear how much she loved you . i mean , after all , you 're the one she married all those years ago . duke : emphasis on `` years . `` mac : felicia and i found our way back together . duke : and i 'm very happy for you both . but it 's not exactly the same , you see . when -- when felicia , when she looks at you , she only sees the face of one man . anna : you want to sit ? so , i - i read about the car accident and also johnny zacchara 's confession . sonny : yeah , typical johnny . uh , too little , too late . anna : and trey mitchell . how 's kristina doing ? sonny : not good . anna : no ? sonny : uh , but the one who 's taking it worse is connie , you know . anna : yeah . sonny : she 's just -- she 's just not taking it very well . anna : well , i suppose that 's because it 's hit her now that she 'll never get a chance to get close to him . sonny : between , you know , the guilt over losing him and then the pain over leaving him , i feel for her . i feel for her a lot . anna : does she seem -- i do n't know how to even say this , but , um , does she seem a little bit more like kate ? sonny : nah . she 's still connie through and through . i mean , you know , she 's a little more vulnerable , a little more human ... more of a real person . anna : person you could care about ? connie : so , how long is he paying you to babysit ? olivia : i 'll stay here till sonny gets back . connie : sonny 's coming back ? olivia : he did n't want to leave in the first place . connie : you know , he surprised me . after all the abuse that i heaped on him , i think he 'd be the last person that would ever want to stick with me . he sat with me through the trey nightmare , and he took me home . he sat with me . olivia : mother of god . connie : what ? olivia : do you have feelings for sonny ? sonny : what ? anna : you know what . do you have feelings for connie ? sonny : i have feelings for kate . anna : well , yeah . i understand that . but technically , they 're the same person , are n't they ? i mean , they 're just part of a subconscious . sonny : yeah . but i love kate , and she 's the one i proposed to . she 's the one that i want to spend the rest of my life with . and i 'll do anything to get her back . anna : even getting close to connie ? sonny : well , i thought if i flirt -- flirted with her a little bit that she would get , you know , let her guards down and -- and she would relax . anna : and kate would reemerge . oh , i do n't know . that 's a dangerous game . sonny : well , i 'm running out of options here , 'cause everything i 've tried has not worked . i mean , i -- you know , i - i 've been hanging out with her a little bit , and , uh , um , i - i thought i was getting somewhere , and then i even agreed to ... [ laughs ] i even agreed to do a photo shoot . anna : well , that 's interesting . sonny : do n't get too excited , 'cause it did n't happen . anna : why ? sonny : that was new year 's eve . anna : car accident . yeah . so , now you 're not playing with her , do you feel that you see connie in a different light ? how does she see you ? do you know ? connie : you 're tripping , cous . olivia : uh , no . connie : me ? you think i have feelings for sonny ? olivia : stranger things have happened , you know ? connie : no , i do n't hate him like i used to . that 's all . olivia : sonny 's a pretty good - looking guy . connie : no . he 's okay . olivia : mm - hmm . connie : you know ? he 's got that thing he does where he 's rough and sweet at the same time . at least that 's what he wants me to think . olivia : what does that even mean ? connie : it means that i 'm not an idiot , liv , and i know exactly what he 's doing . he 's trying to be all nice to me because he wants kate to come out , you know ? olivia : when i first got here , sonny was only concerned about you . he did n't even ask about kate . connie : oh , yeah ? olivia : yeah . connie : you gon na make me some food or what ? olivia : yeah . what do you want ? connie : surprise me . sonny : connie has n't pushed me away , if that 's what you 're asking . but that could change , you know , once the mourning period 's over . anna : i do n't know . maybe . maybe not . sonny : it does n't matter 'cause it 's not gon na happen . i mean , me and kate -- i mean , connie . sometimes i forget . uh , it 's just , it sounds crazy , but , to me , it would seem like i 'm cheating on kate . anna : that does n't sound crazy . not to me , because that 's -- that 's kind of how i feel about the whole `` falling for duke `` thing , you know . that 's what i feel . sonny : well , you should n't be so hard on yourself 'cause you did n't know . anna : yeah , but ... anyway , i think we got off track here a little bit . um , i just called you in to tell you about faison and that , you know , this investigation against jason 's disappearance is now officially closed . sam has been notified . she can take the steps to ... have him declared dead . sonny : all right . thanks for letting me know . anna : yeah . sonny ... i am sorry for your loss . sonny : take care . anna : you , too . [ door closes ] [ cell phone ringing ] duke : it went straight to her voicemail . mac : well , that 's okay , you know . but keep trying till you talk to her . you should be talking to anna , not us . felicia : that 's right . and you know you can come to us if you need to talk to us . duke : thank you . i 'm just -- i 'm just afraid that i 've -- i do n't want to put too much pressure on her and push her further away . felicia : well , you ca n't just sit with this . mac : you listen to felicia . she 's the relationship guru . felicia : i 'd like to think that i 've learned from my mistakes . nothing bad will come if you 're honest with the person that you care about . duke : [ sighs ] maxie : if i tell spinelli that i 'm carrying his child , he 's gon na feel responsible and want to do the right thing . britt : he 'd marry you ? maxie : yes . he 's old - fashioned like that . britt : well , is that something you want ? maxie : i mean , yeah . i love him . i want to be with him forever . britt : okay . maxie : but not like this . i do n't want him to feel forced into it by my fetus . britt : [ sighs ] it 's your body , maxie . it 's your decision . maxie : and that 's great and everything . but what i really need is for somebody just to tell me what to do , like , right now . pretend you 're me . what 's your next move ? britt : i 'd want the man to know if he fathered my child , no matter who he was . do you know where spinelli is ? maxie : probably here . his girlfriend was in an accident , and he 's with her 24/7 . britt : oh , that 's horrible . maxie : does that change your mind ? would you still tell him ? britt : [ scoffs ] it would n't make it easier , but i would still tell him . maxie : then i guess that 's what i 'm gon na do . steven : [ clears throat ] if now 's a good time , i 'd like to talk to you about future treatment and conduct a complete exam before i schedule you for p.t . ellie : yeah . now 's as good a time as any . spinelli : how about i go get that champagne you requested ? steven : uh , not to rain on your parade , buddy , but i do n't think that 's such a good idea . we 're trying to keep her senses sharp , not dull them . spinelli : that 's an excellent -- ellie : i am more in the mood for ice cream anyway . spinelli : all right . well , the jackal is on the case . hi . maxie : hey . i thought i would find you here . spinelli : i have the most incredible news . maxie : so do i . maxie : um , maybe we should go sit down . spinelli : i 'm -- i 'm sorry . i do n't have time . i have to -- i have to go find a celebratory confection . maxie : celebratory ? spinelli : yeah . ellie 's gon na be up and walking in no time . maxie : wow . so she 's not paralyzed ? spinelli : no . and -- and with proper therapy , i mean , she will recover full use of her legs . i mean , is n't that -- is n't that incredible ? maxie : yeah , that -- that is . that 's great news . spinelli : and i 'm sorry if this is strange to say , but ... i - i - i feel closer ... i - i feel closer than ever to ellie . maxie : yeah , you -- spinelli : and it 's not because i 'm getting over you or it 's not because of the guilt that i feel over her injury . it 's ... it 's just because of her and because of who we are together . and -- and thank you so much for our conversation earlier , because it makes me feel so great to be able to share that . but i 'm sorry . i babbled . what -- what is it that you have to tell me ? mac : are you worried about maxie ? felicia : always . i have n't been able to support her through this pregnancy like i should have . mac : well , you were sick , and she 's barely pregnant . felicia : i know , but ever since i 've been better , i 've tried to reach out . i 've asked her to go out to tea . i 've asked her to go shopping for maternity clothes . she has n't been very receptive to that . mac : [ scoffs ] to shopping ? felicia : i know . mac : look , maxie 's got a lot going on , to put it mildly . she 's probably just overwhelmed . felicia : it just seems like ever since the new year , she 's been blowing me off . what if there 's something she 's not telling me ? mac : [ sighs ] britt : maxie . maxie : oh , hey . sorry . i did n't see you . i have to go . britt : hey . did you see spinelli ? maxie : yes , i saw spinelli , and i told him i had some incredible news . britt : okay . and then what ? maxie : and then i made up a cringe - worthy lie and bailed . britt : okay . let 's take spinelli out of the equation for one second . maxie : gladly . britt : you 're pregnant . maxie : i 'm aware of that . britt : with your own baby . which means carrying a baby for dante and lulu is no longer an option . steven : i will call the physical therapist now . the sooner you 're up and around , the better . ellie : great . steven : i hope you know how lucky you are . ellie : i do . oh . you could n't find any ice cream . [ chuckles ] spinelli : my apologies . i embarked on my quest and ran into a distraction . ellie : oh . what kind of distraction ? spinelli : maxie . it appeared she had something important to tell me , but oddly , it turned out to be nothing . ellie : well , i 'm sure she just forgot . spinelli : i should n't have brought her up . ellie : no . no . you 've assured me repeatedly that there 's nothing going on between you and maxie except friendship . and since there are no longer any secrets between you and me ... spinelli : that 's ... not entirely accurate . ellie : what do you mean ? spinelli : ellie , there 's something you need to know . connie : i 'm really not in the mood for this , liv . olivia : look at it as a public service . connie : right . 'cause i miss generosity . olivia : i need to brush up . 10 bucks says it 'll take your mind off things . connie : fine . olivia : okay . connie : okay . olivia : one , two ... both : cha - cha - cha . three , four ... connie : get your elbow up . olivia : what ? connie : there you go . olivia : five , six ... connie : what the hell are you doing ? olivia : i do n't know ! i told you i do n't know how to do this . i 'm sorry . i stink . connie : you do n't stink . we 've done this before . sonny : excuse me . excuse me . connie : [ laughs ] sonny : did i miss something ? both : no . olivia : no . sonny : oh . i thought -- olivia : nothing . i just , uh ... i 'm glad you came back . i got to meet steve at the hospital . thanks for the dance , you . connie : see you . olivia : see you . sonny : everything okay ? olivia : yeah . it was good . for both of us . sonny : everything , uh ... you feeling all right ? connie : yeah . sonny : need anything ? connie : why you being so nice to me ? anna : [ sighs ] [ door opens ] luke : slim . anna : oh , god . luke . luke : long time no see . [ sighs ] sonny : you 've been having a rough time , you know ? i sympathize . that 's all . connie : really ? you got no angle ? nothing ? sonny : from one parent to another . i thought there was gon na be bloodshed . i was a little worried leaving you with olivia . connie : [ chuckles ] we had a decent time , i guess . talked about a few things . sonny : yeah ? what 'd you talk about ? connie : you . olivia : [ sighs ] hello . steven : hey . ooh . you 're in a good mood . olivia : i was just hanging out with connie . we had actually kind of a nice conversation . steven : good . that 's great . olivia : what 's your excuse ? you got a little extra spring in your step . steven : i delivered some , uh , pretty hopeful news to a patient , so it 's been a good day . olivia : oh , and it just got better . hey , you guys . how 'd it go ? did you find luke ? dante : yeah , we did . lulu : my dad 's , uh , back home where he belongs . [ sighs ] [ chuckles ] anna : ooh . luke : ooh , ooh . watch , watch . watch the arm . anna : are you still hurt ? luke : oh , no . i am so much better now . anna : oh , luke . i was so worried about you . you have no idea . luke : yeah , well , i - i think i do have some kind of an idea . well , you got to fill me in , though . you say robert was hurt ? anna : it 's bad . i - i did n't want to tell you over the phone , but ... robert 's in a coma . luke : a coma ? anna : yeah . holly 's with him . luke : how did it happen ? anna : it was , uh , that woman at the clinic . she injured him . do you remember dr. obrecht ? luke : oh , god , yes . that 's a character you do n't easily forget . what were you doing back there ? duke : rescuing me . mac : do n't take it personal . i have n't seen much of maxie since the new year , either . felicia : you think i should back off ? mac : might not be a bad idea . felicia : yeah . she has been going through all those hormonal changes and ... mac : and the fear that she 's gon na give birth to a dog . felicia : [ gasps ] [ laughs ] you 're terrible . mac : and you 're gorgeous . hmm . maxie : i am such a horrible person . britt : no , you 're not . maxie : yes , i am . i have n't for one second thought about what this is gon na do to dante and lulu . britt : it 's a lot , maxie . i mean , you 're taking it one issue at a time . there are several to consider . maxie : yeah , and several people . ellie : does this something have to do with maxie ? spinelli : look , ellie ... i - i would n't feel right moving forward with you , and believe me , that is precisely why -- ellie : okay , you 're scaring me . will you just -- will you just tell me what it is ? spinelli : it happened on new year 's eve . ellie : okay . well , you already told me that you spent the night with maxie . spinelli : yes . but what i did n't tell you is ... i slept with her . ellie : [ exhales ] britt : take some time to process your situation . but not too much . decisions need to be made . maxie : okay , but in -- in the meantime , this is just between you and me , right ? britt : absolutely . maxie : i ca n't -- i mean , i .. i do n't even know where i would start . britt : my suggestion is to figure out what you 're gon na tell dante and lulu . lulu : hi . dante : hey . lulu : tell dante and lulu what ? | an official at the turkish prison tells dante and lulu that luke was shot during an uprising . lulu wants to see his body , but luke enters the room with a sling on his left arm . lulu tells luke about duke really being faison in disguise . mac , felicia , and duke discuss lucy 's commitment to ferncliff . felicia asks duke what has him preoccupied . he says he was thinking about anna recoiling when she sees him because she thinks of faison . he is also concerned about anna 's relationship with luke . mac says duke should talk to anna about it . anna tells sonny that faison was behind jason 's shooting and kristina 's kidnapping . she tells him that faison was impersonating duke , but the duke that is in port charles now is the real duke , rescued from faison . sonny thinks it is great that anna and duke can be together again . she tells him that she ca n't help seeing faison when she looks at duke . sonny empathizes , saying he sees kate when he looks at connie . anna asks him if he is beginning to care about connie . he says he loves kate and he was trying to get close to connie to coax kate out . anna wonders if sonny is no longer playing with connie . sonny says he would feel like he was cheating on kate . anna says that she feels the same way about duke . luke returns to port charles and immediately goes to anna 's office . he asks about robert . she tells him that robert is in a coma , thanks to dr. obrecht . luke wonders why anna was at that clinic again . duke enters and says anna was there to rescue him . | <s>[INST] maxie : so , can you just pop another one of dante and lulu 's little embryos in me ? britt : uh , i 'm sorry , maxie . i ca n't . maxie : i - i thought you understood that i am trying to protect my best friend from suffering any more than she has to , especially when you can just make me pregnant before she gets back . britt : okay , it 's not that i 'm unwilling to do the procedure . maxie : then what is your problem ? britt : maxie , you 're already pregnant . maxie : i 'm sorry . what did you just say ? britt : i ca n't make you pregnant . you already are . dante : luke spencer was in this room when the riot started . and then what ? lulu : is that his blood ? warden : i 'm very sorry . but your father was shot . lulu : oh , my god . are you gon na tell me that my father 's dead ? warden : this is most distressing . dante : okay , look , we need to know what happened -- lulu : if they killed my father , i need to see his body . dante : hang on . calm down . luke : i 'm right here , honey . right here . duke : so , lucy 's being committed ? felicia : remanded to ferncliff for psychiatric evaluation . which is better than prison , i guess . mac : she went nuts when she saw john mcbain . duke : can you define `` nuts `` ? mac : yeah , she started screaming at him and then she started attacking him . felicia : and we thought keeping you from the proceedings would cut back on all the vampire talk . duke : well , apparently not . felicia : hmm . i still feel horrible for lucy . duke : yeah . so do i . felicia : but i feel bad for you , too . it 's obvious that something other than lucy is on your mind . what 's going on ? duke : anna . anna : thank you for coming . sonny : commissioner calls , i answer . anna : a law - abiding citizen . sonny : exactly . so , what 's this about ? anna : the attempt against your daughter 's life . sonny : you know who was giving joe scully the orders ? anna : same individual responsible for jason 's disappearance . sonny : who ? anna : a person that i became close to who turned out to be someone else all together . sonny : i know the feeling . connie : sonny ? olivia : sonny had -- connie : [ gasps ] geez ! olivia : he had a meeting . he asked me to fill in . connie : i 'm not gon na skip bail and make a run for it if that 's what he 's thinking . olivia : it 's not . connie : does n't he have goons for this type of thing ? olivia : i 'm not here as a guard . connie : you here as a friend ? olivia : sonny said you 've been sleeping ever since you got back from the hospital . he did n't want you to wake up and be all alone . connie : oh , okay . olivia : hey . sonny wants to take care of you . and so do i . spinelli : so , are you ready for the perfect gift ? ellie : is it champagne ? spinelli : uh , no . it 's a special collector 's edition of `` 2001 : a space odyssey . `` is there a reason you wanted champagne ? ellie : yeah . because of this . spinelli : are you doing that ? ellie : can you believe that ? ! spinelli : so , you 're sure that 's not involuntary ? ellie : no . my brain is telling my toes to move , and they 're moving ! damian , i 'm not paralyzed ! maxie : i 'm pregnant ? britt : yes . maxie : so , you were wrong . i did n't lose dante and lulu 's baby . britt : oh , no . that -- that 's not what that means . maxie : i do n't understand . if i 'm still pregnant ... britt : not still . you 're pregnant again . olivia : can i get you anything ? connie : something to eat would n't kill me . olivia : you 're in luck . i just stocked your fridge . connie : oh . great . i 'll make something . olivia : i got it . i 'll do it . connie : it 's all right , liv . you do n't have to be here . you can go . i 'm fine . olivia : you 're not fine . connie , i ca n't even imagine what that must have been like for you to watch trey slip away right in front of your eyes . connie : no , you ca n't imagine , liv , because you have a son . mine , he 's gone . my family , gone . olivia : your family 's not gone . connie : oh , that 's right . i forgot about my beloved murdering husband . as you can see , he 's not really here for me . olivia : i 'm not talking about johnny . i 'm talking about me . sonny : well , do n't keep me in suspense here . who 's the son of a bitch who shot jason in the back ? anna : duke lavery . sonny : your husband , the one who resurfaced ? anna : no , the one who was impersonating him . cesar faison . he was using duke 's identity to get to me , you see ? sonny : i hear you . anna : so , now listen . um , with faison 's confession , he said that he shot -- he shot jason in the back and he kicked him into the harbor . now , he swears that jason never moved , which leads me to believe that he was probably dead before he hit the water . sonny : where is faison now ? anna : he 's at a maximum - security prison in geneva . now , i brought you in here because i do n't want you to go after the real duke . sonny : the real duke ? anna : this is where it gets complicated . duke was being held by faison at this clinic in switzerland . and he was using him to extract information , you know , to get to me . but anyway , now duke is back here in town . sonny : well , that works out well for you . anna : you think so ? sonny : well , you get to welcome , you know , the right man back in your life . anna : oh , it 's not that simple when you already welcomed the wrong one . duke : in a manner of speaking , anna kept me alive all these years . i could always see her face so clearly . i could hear her voice urging me to -- to be strong and to come back to her safely . so , i did . and here i am . felicia : thank god . duke : but , of course , intellectually , i ... i knew she could n't wait because she thought i was dead , so she would have moved on . mac : but emotionally , it was a different story . duke : yeah . i always dreamt that , uh , one day we would be reunited . felicia : and now you have been . duke : thanks to the efforts of john mcbain and robert . what -- what news on his condition ? mac : i spoke to holly earlier . there 's no change . duke : i 'm so sorry . mac : hey , what happened to robert 's not your fault . faison is responsible for all of it . felicia : mac 's right . you could n't control that monster 's actions . he held you prisoner . he stole your life . he tried to take everything from you . duke : yeah , i ca n't help wondering if he succeeded in the end . lulu : thank god . i was completely freaking out . i 'm sorry . is that okay ? luke : no , no . it feels really good . really good . dante : well , when she heard that gunshot ... lulu : and the bloodstain . i 'm just , i 'm so relieved . dante : what the hell happened ? luke : just your run - of - the - mill prison riot . i took a bullet meant for , uh , one of the guards . i 've been in what they laughingly call the infirmary ever since . lulu : and you could n't figure out that he was alive ? dante : okay . your father 's safe . that 's all that matters , right ? lulu : yes . right . dante : look , can you please get the papers we need to get mr. spencer released ? lulu : here , do you want to sit down ? i mean , you 've been shot . luke : oh , no , no . i 'm fine . i 'm fine . lulu : no , you 've been shot . luke : i 'm fine . how about you ? lulu : i 'm good now . luke : yeah ? and that kid is still safely gestating in maxie 's womb ? dante : [ chuckles ] maxie : what do you mean , `` again `` ? this is -- this is , like , new ? you mean , i 'm pregnant again since i miscarried ? britt : well , i 'd have to run a more in - depth test to get specific information about the timeframe . but your hcg levels found in your blood are a positive indicator of pregnancy . maxie : how is that possible ? britt : it must have happened the old - fashioned way . maxie : oh . spinelli : this is a most joyous discovery ! ellie , you 're gon na walk again . ellie : maybe . spinelli : maybe ? well , you just wiggled your adorable digits ! ellie : yeah , i know , but there was more to my injury than just the inability to move . but hey , will you `` this little piggy `` me ? spinelli : why , yes , of course . ellie : [ laughs ] spinelli : are you ready ? ellie : mm - hmm . i 'm ready . spinelli : okay . this little piggy went -- ellie : i feel it ! spinelli : you do ? ellie : yes ! spinelli : okay . i 'm gon na go get a doctor . ellie : okay . spinelli : oh , my goodness ! ellie : [ laughs ] not if he finds you first . steven : what 's going on ? ellie : this . steven : wow . spinelli : an incredible `` feet , `` huh ? pun intended . ellie 's gon na be fine . steven : let 's take a look . all right . [ sighs ] can you feel that ? ellie : [ laughing ] yeah ! steven : all right . how about that ? ellie : yeah , i feel it ! i feel it ! [ sighs ] britt : well , this should n't be too difficult to figure out . have you had intercourse recently ? spinelli : come on . let 's evacuate the premises , okay ? it is frigid up here . in more ways than one . i will take you anywhere you want . well , more accurately , i will accompany you , because i am in no way fit to drive . maxie : home . i just want to go home . spinelli : home it is . maxie : [ sniffles ] maxie : oh , my god . spinelli . duke : of course , i ca n't expect everything to be the same . i mean , it 's been two decades . felicia : has it really been decades ? mac : yeah . afraid so . duke : yeah , i mean , the one thing i did n't expect was for anna to recoil every time i try to touch her . felicia : that must be an exaggeration . duke : she does not exactly welcome my advances . mac : why do n't you give anna some time , you know ? she 's had shock after shock . it 's a lot to process . duke : yeah . well , the specter of faison looms large . every time she looks at me , she sees his face . felicia : she wo n't forever . duke : [ chuckles ] forever . it seems like it 's been that long i 've waited for anna to love me . now i do n't know what to expect , especially now that there 's another man in the way . dante : uh , the baby 's great , right ? lulu : yeah . uh , but i - i ... you know , i 've been , uh , pretty worried . luke : well , sure . it must be stressful having somebody else carry your child . lulu : yeah . there 's that . but also we 've had a few incidents . luke : incidents ? lulu : i mean , nothing major . everything is fine . it 's just on new year 's eve , maxie chased after a dog and she tripped and fell , but the baby is fine . it 's just , obviously we 've been pretty worried . luke : sweetheart , you left in the middle of all that to come and find me ? lulu : yeah , you were in trouble . of course i came . luke : [ sighs ] well , it 's time to get you back home . dante : i second that . luke : i 'm a little anxious to get out of his hellhole myself . lulu : is it awful ? luke : oh , it 's been a picnic , but i 'd kind of like to get back to my real life , back to anna . anna : [ sighs ] whole thing just seems like a bad dream that i ca n't wake up from . could n't see faison for who he was , even though spencer could . i could n't . i should have been able to , but i could n't . and now duke is paying the price . sonny : he 's upset with you ? anna : well , yeah . he should be . all he 's trying to do is reconnect , and i 'm having a very hard time doing that . sonny : well , it makes sense . i mean , you -- you 've been through so much , right ? anna : why am i confiding in you ? sonny : 'cause it 's much easier arresting me , right ? [ chuckles ] anna : much . sonny : it 's true . we 're on opposite sides of everything , except when it comes to robin . anna : she loved us . both of us . sonny : you know , i do n't know why , but she , you know , she confided in me . she used to tell me personal stuff . i mean , you do n't have to if you do n't want to . it 's up to you . anna : no , i 'm not going to make a habit of this , obviously . sonny : right . anna : i do n't expect you to understand . sonny : well , i may surprise you , because when you look at duke , you see faison . when i look at connie , i ca n't help but ... see kate . connie : so , all of a sudden , we 're family now ? i thought you were on team kate . olivia : i really got to love kate , you know ? i did . but if i 'm being totally honest , when she decided to turn into kate howard , turn back on brooklyn and on me and on everything , i ... i really missed connie . and i know that you two are not the same person , but sometimes ... sometimes you are more like my real cousin connie , like that -- that -- that girl i grew up with who was my best friend than kate could ever be . connie : really ? olivia : yeah . really . i look at you sometimes , and i -- and i see that same troublemaker , you know , that spitfire that used to practice dancing on the roof , practicing for our hot dates , you know ? you know , we always said that we would dance at each other 's weddings . connie : yeah , well , sorry about that . there was no dance floor at city hall . [ chuckles ] olivia : well , there will be one at my -- connie : [ gasps ] wow ! [ laughing ] oh , my god ! that did n't mean nothing . olivia : i know . i know . connie : i know you still think i 'm crazy . olivia : well , i guess it runs in the family , huh ? connie : still having your hallucinations ? olivia : uh , i think my son 's surrogate is giving birth to a dog . connie : [ laughs ] yeah , i guess so , huh ? olivia : yeah . i guess that 's a `` yes . `` [ chuckles ] maxie : i - i , uh , slept with someone in new year 's . well , not -- not someone . uh , spinelli . britt : is that your boyfriend ? maxie : no , he used to be , but he has a girlfriend now . britt : and you slept with him anyway ? maxie : well , i was sad about losing the baby , and he was drunk . those are n't the best reasons to have sex , but ... i thought there was a chance for us . i was wrong . spinelli : so , will ellie be able to walk out of here , literally speaking ? steven : she 's gon na have a long , uh , road of physical therapy ahead . her injuries are gon na take some time to fully heal . ellie : but they will , right ? heal ? steven : all signs point to a full recovery . spinelli : yes ! steven : only if you 're willing to do some hard work . ellie : yeah . i am . steven : okay . well , then , you should be walking before you know it . ellie : thank you so much . steven : i did n't do a thing . ellie : oh , my god . i 'm so happy , i could just start crying right now . [ voice breaking ] which i am . spinelli : ellie , without a doubt , this is the best possible news i could have received today . ellie : yeah . [ chuckles ] maxie : so , i 'm pregnant , but with spinelli 's baby ? what am i gon na do ? steven : i 've always been cautiously hopeful about ellie 's condition , but her progress toward full recovery has completely exceeded my expectations . good work . ellie : it 's because of you . spinelli : no . ellie : yes , it is . hey , having you by my side , damian , there 's no way i would have gotten through this without you . spinelli : it 's a good day . ellie : hey , so good , i do n't even care that your enthusiasm inadvertently crushed the `` 2001 `` dvd . spinelli : what ? oh , my goodness . it appears i may have stood on it . ellie : yeah , it appears you have . spinelli : well , you know what ? i will go out and procure another copy . ellie : no . no , no . i ... i just would rather have you here . spinelli : then here i will stay . maxie : i ca n't believe this is happening . how is this happening ? britt : okay , take a deep breath . maxie : okay . is that gon na make me magically unpregnant with my ex - boyfriend 's child ? britt : you love him , right ? maxie : yes , of course i love him ! but he does n't love me . or even if he does , he does n't want to be with me . he wants to be with ellie . what was that look ? britt : no look . maxie : no , no . i - i saw a look . it was like a `` this might not actually be so bad , `` which is n't possible because this is as bad as it gets . britt : i do n't know . maxie : i do . britt : i 've seen men go completely over the moon when they find out they 're gon na be a father . even when they were n't expecting it . maxie : so , what ? you think finding out that i 'm carrying his child will make spinelli change his mind about me ? lulu : i 've been waiting on hold for five minutes . luke : yeah , i did n't get a chance to talk to anna much . i mean , i do know that i was right . lavery was n't who he said he was . turns out , he was faison . dante : i wish i had more details . anna came in to town as we were leaving , and i did n't get a chance to debrief with her . we 'll be needing your signature . luke : oh , well , if it 's gon na get me out of here , you can have anything you want . thank you . oh , come to papa .

faith : yeah . ever since sage died , she 's been worried about daddy . she thinks he needs to spend time with connor because of some promise he made . chelsea : right , well , yeah . nick made adam a promise to help take care of connor and help look after me , so ... faith : then you have to say yes . my mom wo n't take no for an answer . devon : how are you wrong for the job ? hilary : because it 's true . i have no experience . devon : that 's not true at all . you have plenty of experience . hilary : devon , just stop it , okay ? i ca n't do this . we need to find someone else . devon : honey , why are you being so nervous about this ? i 've seen you in front of the camera a thousand times . hilary : yeah , at press conferences talking about business and science . devon : you enjoy being in front of the spotlight no matter what the topic is . i mean , is there really a big difference between entertainment and a press conference ? hilary : yes . yes , there is . devon : how ? hilary : for one thing , you have to be likeable or no one will watch , okay ? credible , yeah . intelligent , check . but a bubbly persona for a tv gossip show ? come on , devon . that 's not me . that 's not my style . devon : well , you 're talking about changing the style . find something . get a sexy librarian outfit . you 'll make the male viewership go up . hilary : but what about the news part of things ? i 'm not a journalist . i have no training . maybe i could do , like , a media event or a ribbon cutting or something , but that does n't mean that i can do an incisive interview . devon : i absolutely disagree . i think that you have skills that ca n't be taught . you have an ability to see right through people and see their real motives . no one would be able to hide from you . hilary : yeah , that 's a really nice way of saying that i know how to exploit people 's weaknesses . what does that have to do with news ? devon : it has everything to do with it ! hilary : [ sighs ] devon : because unlike that other horrible reporter , you 're gon na be tactful but you 're gon na be telling people the truth , right ? you 'll know exactly what to say when there 's tragedy or people are hurting . people are gon na fall in love with you and they 'll trust you . hilary : you really think that i could do this ? devon : no , i do n't think . i know . hilary : okay , fine . you know , i - i could shadow a pro for a bit , maybe do some really small segments . devon : no . i think you 're ready to be an anchor today . hilary : devon . devon : you know everything that you need to know . what were we calling it ? it 's gossip with a conscience , right ? and you know something ? i have the perfect story to start with that 's gon na make you a star . hilary : mm - hmm . devon : trust me . hilary : [ chuckles ] michael : phyllis does n't want a divorce on any terms . ashley : right . it 's a play for more time and more money , and you know it . michael : you can think what you like , but she 's not negotiating for more cash . she loves you , jack . and i believe that you love her , too . ashley : so tell me something . are you here delivering a message as an attorney or as a friend ? which is it ? michael : [ sighs ] with phyllis , the line does get blurred , but i came through that door as her lawyer . jack : fine . you 've seen the offer . get her to take it . and from now on , i want you to communicate with my lawyer . michael : we both know phyllis . she 's not giving up , jack ! ashley : if you 're really her friend , then do her a favor and tell her this is not a fight she 's going to win . summer : is that where you fell ? phyllis : yeah , this is where jack pulled away , and ... really ca n't blame him . i tried to hold on . you know , maybe i should just take michael 's advice and take the settlement and move on , you know . summer : no , no , do n't think that right now , okay ? we 're just gon na grab a few things you 're gon na need for the next few days , and then i can come back and get the rest of it , okay ? phyllis : it 's okay , sweetie . that 's a sweet offer , but i - i should do it . i should pack ... my things . and that 's just -- that 's not true . i do n't want to pack up my things . i do n't want to move out of this home . i do n't want my marriage to be over . i just ... i do n't . summer : it 's okay . kevin : hey . where 's faith ? mariah : is she okay ? chloe : [ laughs ] she is miles beyond okay . mariah : what do you mean ? kevin : why did she come here ? chloe : so many questions . all i have to say is that little girl knows what she wants . she feels at home here . i know the feeling . chelsea : if i may have your attention , please , i would like to introduce my newest , most fabulous model , wearing a dazzling , new creation . [ cheering ] kevin : wow ! hey there , gorgeous ! what 's the occasion ? chelsea : ooh , la , la ! faith : my birthday 's tomorrow , and i needed a dress . [ laughter ] chloe : so good . mariah : okay , okay . let 's , uh , rein it in . um , i 'm glad you 're okay and that this is what you were doing the entire time i was frantically looking for you . faith : oops . mariah : yeah , it 's a big `` oops . `` i had the whole police force out looking for you . faith : the whole force ? mariah : well , i had kevin . the point is , you can not run off like that . you have to tell me where you 're going . faith : i 'm sorry . do you like my new dress ? [ laughter ] mariah : yes , yes , i love it . you look amazing . faith : it 's an asymmetrical hemline . mariah : wow . you know , i 'm gon na have to take your word for that . but one small question -- how are you going to pay for this ? faith : i 've saved almost $ 20 from the tooth fairy . mariah : oh , 20 , uh , 20 bucks for a designer original . kevin : it seems a little low . chloe : i think we can make it work . chelsea : i think so . all right , now that you 're all fitted , i can help you change , okay ? faith : okay . everyone 's invited to my party . promise you 'll come ? kevin : are you kidding ? i would n't miss it . chloe : i love me some birthday cake . count me in . faith : all right ! chloe : [ laughs ] so cute . kevin : [ sighs ] hey , can i help you with something ? chloe : [ chuckles ] thanks . kevin : uh , i got your text thanking me for last night . you did n't have to do that . chloe : well , maybe i wanted to . hey , so there is this nightly ghost walk coming up for halloween . it 's in two weeks , and then it runs to the end of the month , and i was thinking about getting a ticket or ... maybe two . kevin : two weeks , huh ? it seems like a far - off time from now . chloe : well , there is faith 's birthday . we can always meet there ? kevin : yeah , maybe . michael : it 's not about winning or losing , ashley . the last thing phyllis wants is for this to become adversarial . ashley : [ scoffs ] too late for that . ashley : what part of `` no `` are you not hearing ? michael : you know , with all due respect , i do n't -- ashley : i 'm speaking for jack , so listen carefully . phyllis did n't just compromise that marriage . you realize that , right ? she took a sledgehammer to it , michael . there 's nothing left . so let 's do what 's right for all parties concerned . convince your client to accept the settlement . let 's not inflict any more pain or heartache on jack or phyllis . hmm ? michael : i know you 'd do anything for jack . ashley : you betcha . michael : but why would you care about phyllis ? ashley : i do n't really so much . but i know you do . do you really want to see her dragged through an ugly divorce ? i mean , just to be played out in the tabloids endlessly ? michael : no , it 's the last thing i want to see . ashley : good . i think it 's up to us to make this as painless as possible . name your price . phyllis : i do n't know what i would do if it were n't for you . yes , i do . yes , i do . summer : yes , you do . you 'd be putting one foot in front of the other , finding out how to get through this . phyllis : i refuse to feel sorry for myself , you know ? there 's one person responsible for all of this , and it 's the person i see in the mirror every day . summer : mom , no , it takes two , okay ? and i learned that the hard way , and billy is gon na get his own share of the blame . and look , as much as i love jack , he is no saint . he is gon na wake up one morning when all this comes down and realize that he is human . he 's gon na forgive you one day . i 'm sure of it . okay ? phyllis : [ chuckles ] the mother 's supposed to comfort her own kid , not the other way around . summer : okay , so we 'll take turns . phyllis : [ chuckles ] deal . i 'm gon na go put some things in a suitcase , okay ? summer : okay , i 'll give you a hand . phyllis : all right . phyllis : i know you do n't want me here . i , uh , just came to gather some of my things . jack : you should have called first . phyllis : i know . everything happened so quickly . i was released from the hospital earlier than expected . summer : yeah , mom did a lot better than the doctors thought that she would . just a mild concussion . they do n't think that there 's gon na be any lasting effects . phyllis : yeah . i was born hard - headed , so ... you knew that already , though . jack : i 'm glad you 're better . phyllis : thank you so m -- jack : that way you wo n't have any reason to drag your feet on the divorce . michael : i envy you , ashley . ashley : really ? michael : yeah , really . on an ordinary day , you can mix some chemicals up and come up with a formula that reverses the aging process or makes someone smell like a little bit of heaven . me , i 'm a lawyer . on a really good day , i get to keep the party of the first part from ripping the heart out of the party of the second part . and on a really excellent day , i can convince both sides to settle before even setting foot in front of a judge . but most days , it 's about words , words that sting , words that do damage , words that no amount of money can take back . do you hear what i 'm saying ? ashley : oh , yeah . i heard every last word . here 's the thing , though . see , jack was n't hurt by words , michael . he was hurt by deeds that were done in secret , behind his back , by his wife and his brother . yeah . nothing can undo that . there 's no amount of tears or acts of contrition that are ever gon na erase that from jack 's memory , so please ... tell phyllis that . tell her to stop hurting the man that she claims to love . tell her to let him go so he can get on with his life and start healing . chelsea : all right . i promise to deliver your dress to you by your birthday . faith : i have $ 5 in my purse . is that enough for a down payment ? chelsea : sweetheart , i really appreciate that offer , but you keep your money . this is my gift to you . faith : really ? thank you so much , chelsea ! chelsea : [ laughs ] it 's my pleasure . chloe : hey , wait a minute . i held the pincushion , you know . [ laughter ] mariah : well , i think that we should let chelsea and chloe get back to work . uh , you coming ? kevin : uh , i think i 'm gon na stick around for a bit , but i can walk you guys out . mariah : oh , no , no . that 's totally fine . i owe faith an ice cream cone anyway , and we need to have a little conversation about running off without telling anybody . faith : okay . [ laughter ] chelsea : bye . mariah : bye . faith : bye . chelsea : you know , i 've dressed celebrities and billionaires , yet making faith happy is , like , the highlight of my career . chloe : i know . so cute , right ? chelsea : yeah . all right , i 'm gon na go work on this . if you 'll excuse me . chloe : okay . are you wishing you went with them ? hilary : [ sighs ] devon : hey . how you doing ? you look beautiful . i just want you to relax and be yourself , okay ? hilary : really ? really ? that 's all there is to it ? devon : yeah , yeah , 'cause we 're going for hip and casual , you know ? like friends talking over a drink , not a newscast . hilary : what if i totally flub something ? devon : if you do , we can fix when we edit it . we 're not live . devon : yeah . yeah , yeah , yeah . the director should be here soon , and he 'll probably have suggestions , but for right now , we can give it a shot . come on . hilary : okay . devon : she good ? hilary : thank you . all right .

[ doorbell rings ] phyllis : it 's probably the movers with my stuff . summer : hey . michael : hey , kiddo . mwah . summer : mom 's in there . phyllis : michael . michael : hey . i spoke with jack . phyllis : i heard it from my husband 's own lips . all he 's interested in is my signature for those divorce papers . michael : i know this is n't what you were hoping to hear . but walking away with something is better than nothing . in fact , ashley seemed so eager to get you out of their family , she said you could name your own price . ashley : i think michael 's gon na be able to talk phyllis into accepting that settlement , but it 's not gon na come cheap . i told him to make a dollar amount and that you 'd pay it in exchange for your freedom . you know , um ... i was trying to make your life easier . i hope i did n't overstep . jack : no , no , i - i appreciate it . you 're always looking out for me . thanks . i do n't care what it costs . as long as it gets phyllis out of my life for good . [ key clanks ] [ drawer slams ] michael : hey . did you hear what i asked you ? can i go ahead and negotiate ? phyllis : that 's fine . make a counteroffer . tell jack he can have the divorce and it wo n't cost him a penny . as long as i can stay at jabot . [ next_on ] hilary : the super couple that everyone is talking about -- jack and phyllis abbott . mariah : kevin is my best friend , and i ca n't stand sitting back and watching him get used . all : happy birthday to you | faith asks chelsea to make her a dress for her birthday party tomorrow . chelsea agrees to make her the dress as a birthday present . kevin and chloe decide to start dating and make their first official date faith 's birthday party . phyllis moves in with summer and is determined to fight for jack even though he wants a divorce . phyllis tells michael to tell jack she does n't want his money in the divorce ; she only wants to keep her job at jabot . hilary takes over as host of the gc buzz tv show and is determined to make it a respectable entertainment show . | <s>[INST] [ rhythmic knock on door ] michael : hey , there . phyllis : [ chuckles ] michael : [ chuckles ] well , look at you , all bright - eyed and bushy - tailed . phyllis : yeah , right . michael : [ chuckles ] well , you 're conscious . good for you . and it 's nice to see you 're feeling well enough to check your messages . phyllis : yeah , no messages . just memories . michael : yeah . i think you should forget about everything and concentrate on feeling better . phyllis : yeah , well , dr. rayburn said i am well enough to be released today . michael : that 's terrific . phyllis : okay , so why do n't we dispense with the `` rah - rah `` stuff and why do n't you tell me why you 're really here ? just rip off the bandage , michael . just get the agony over with all at once . michael : i received some paperwork from jack 's lawyer offering you a substantial settlement . phyllis : i do n't want jack 's money . i just want my husband back . jack : `` what does every woman want ? `` this is wrong in so many ways , i do n't know where to start . first of all , our customers are unique individuals . they do n't care what anyone else wants . to suggest they buy as part of the herd is the ultimate insult . clearly i have to talk to marketing . i do n't know how this got to my desk for approval . ashley : jack , i agree with you , but i think we need to just push it aside for a minute . jack : what is more important than the spring launch ? ashley : how about the video on gc buzz where they 're practically accusing you of throwing your wife down the stairs ? we have to do some major damage control . jack : which is just what i intend to do . by ignoring it . ashley : that is absolutely the worst thing you could do , for yourself and this company . hilary : that hit the spot ? devon : hmm . it sure did . hilary : i guess , um , buying tv shows and firing slimy reporters , it really -- it helps you work up an appetite . devon : hmm . you smell that ? hilary : what ? devon : how clean the air is not that gc buzz is gone ? there 's no more dirty innuendos being thrown around or people getting attacked who do n't deserve it . hilary : mm - hmm . devon : hey . you do n't seem that enthusiastic . hilary : no , it 's -- it 's not that . what you did back at lily 's office , it was -- it was sexy as hell . it was . i was so impressed how you put that jerk in his place . devon : but ? hilary : but it 's a lot to absorb , you buying the gc buzz and closing down the website and the tv show . you 're gon na affect a lot of lives , devon . devon : i know . and i plan on finding jobs for all those employees , except for the horrible reporter . he can get a job digging a ditch for all i care . hilary : well ... i was thinking you would n't have to find them any more jobs if the gc buzz stayed on the air . devon : what are you talking about ? hilary : you heard me . devon : yeah , i did hear you , but the whole reason i bought it was to shut it down . hilary : yeah , and then another show that 's just like it or even worse is gon na pop up in its place . so why not take the idea and do it better ? devon : you 're not thinking what i think you are , are you ? hilary : why not ? come on , devon . who knows gossip better than we do ? hmm ? devon , i think we could really do this . [ computer keys clacking ] [ cell phone chimes ] mariah : kevin , i need your help . kevin : what ? what happened ? mariah : faith is missing . chloe : [ sighs ] chelsea : are you expecting to hear from that buyer in phoenix ? chloe : uh , busted . personal text on company time . chelsea : hmm . i see . let me guess . kevin ? chloe : [ sighs ] i sent him a thank you for last night . just waiting to hear back . chelsea : oh , i 'm glad you had fun on your date that was n't a date . i just hope you 're not moving too quickly . chloe : i 'm not . trust me . in fact , when i got home , i could n't even sleep . all i was thinking about was the last time we had a real date and we were really trying to get back together and we did n't because it was the night that i lost delia . it 's just so weird , you know ? i 'm finally ready to look forward into the future , and again i 'm just reminded of the past , the worst night of my entire life . chelsea : it 's not weird , chloe . every time i look into connor 's adorable face , i feel such joy , and then i see adam 's face , and i 'm reminded of ... you know , what i 've lost . [ lift door opens ] faith : [ panting ] great . you 're here . i need your help . michael : the irony 's not lost on me . i am the one who counseled you to be patient and not to give up on your marriage . phyllis : what are you telling me ? you telling me to forget about it ? just let it go ? no hope ? just -- just let it go ? michael : listen to me . [ sighs ] after i received the draft of the divorce documents , i contacted jack 's lawyer . she made it very clear that jack is moving forward on this legal action . phyllis : it 's no surprise there . michael : as much as i hate to say it , i think you should weigh the offer so i can counter it . phyllis : listen to me . i do n't want to talk about legal strategy . i want to get out of here and i want to go home . except i have no place to go . summer : yeah , you do . you can come home with me . phyllis : honey , last thing you need is a mother for a roommate . summer : why do n't you let me decide that ? michael : [ chuckles ] i think you should listen to your daughter and let me take care of everything else . summer : i heard enough to know that you were talking about jack and where things stand . phyllis : [ scoffs ] or where they do n't stand . summer : which is why you should come stay with me so you can let things calm down with jack and then he can realize how much you guys love each other . phyllis : honey , if things were only that simple . summer : hey , is there any way that you can slow down this divorce so it does n't happen right away ? michael : i 'll see what i can do . look , i 'll give you some time . summer : okay . michael : you . i 'll be in touch . [ door opens ] [ door closes ] summer : so , did the doctor say that you can still leave today ? phyllis : yeah . summer : okay . that 's good . i will get you checked out , see if there 's any instructions , and we can go home , get some of your stuff , and then go back to my place , okay ? phyllis : honey , i love you for doing this , but i can move into my old room at the club . summer : why ? are you trying to say that you do n't want my company ? phyllis : no , no , no . you have your own life . you do n't need your mother imposing on you like this . summer : mom , it is fine , okay ? you are not imposing . after all that drama that happened with luca , all i want to do right now is focus on my business classes . and i expect you to help me with my assignments . it 'll be like having a live - in tutor except with real business savvy . phyllis : [ chuckles ] well , this savvy businesswoman has made a real mess of her life . got myself fired and lost the best man i 've ever known . summer : no , you did not lose him yet , okay ? so quit talking like you have . faith : my birthday party 's tomorrow . i want to wear something amazing , but i do n't have anything . there 's this one dress that might work , but ... chloe : let me guess . it 's too small , right ? faith : my mom says i 'm growing like a weed . [ both laugh ] faith : so i do n't have anything . can you help ? i love your designs so much ! chelsea : does sharon know you 're here or are you with nick today ? faith : they 're both busy , so mariah took me to the park . she stopped to buy ice cream , and all of a sudden i realized i need a new dress . so i ran all the way here . i know you do n't do kid stuff , but maybe you have something small lying around that might fit me ? chelsea : maybe . faith : i do n't have a lot of money , but i have all my tooth - fairy savings , so i can pay you . how does that sound ? chelsea : i think we can help you . chloe : yeah . chelsea : but first things first . kevin : okay , where were you guys when faith went missing ? mariah : we were at the park . uh , we were hanging out while nick and sharon plan her party for tomorrow , and she wanted ice cream , so i was at the vendor paying the guy , and when i turned around , she was gone . kevin : okay , well , it 's not like her to just wander off . mariah : what if she was kidnapped ? ! kevin : she was not kidnapped , not at the park . mariah : a lot of terrible things have happened at that place ! do n't look at me like that could n't be a possibility ! kevin : okay , did you notice anyone strange lurking around ? mariah : no , the place was practically empty , but that does n't mean that somebody was n't lurking around or watching ! kevin : i get that , but i know that dylan has talked to her about strangers , about being careful in public . mariah : i know ! that 's why i 'm so concerned ! you have to put out an amber alert , an apb or something ! kevin : okay . mariah : please find my sister ! kevin : mariah , we do n't have to do that yet because you and i , we 're gon na go to the park and we 're gon na find her together . come on . mariah : okay . [ cell phone rings ] mariah : hello ? chelsea : mariah , it 's chelsea . you sound panicked , and i think i know why . but do n't worry . faith is with chloe and me at the studio . mariah : oh , my god . she 's with chelsea . is she okay ? what -- what 's wrong ? chelsea : she 's absolutely fine . well , except for one critical thing . mariah : what ? i - i do n't understand . chelsea : you will when you get here , but take your time . faith wants it to be a surprise . chloe : [ chuckles ] hilary : just imagine a gc buzz that is full of juicy tidbits but it 's never mean , it 's never underhanded , or nasty . come on , devon . we both know what it 's like to have our personal lives served up on a platter for public amusement . now we get to turn the tables . no shots below the belt , no kicking people when they 're down . i think that , you know , people are actually tired of bad taste and negativity anyways . so this is our chance . we can change the formula . we can reset the bar . hmm ? devon : so , what ? it 's like -- it 's like gossip with a conscience , then ? hilary : wow . yeah . you 're making fun of me . devon : i 'm not making fun of you . no , i am not making fun of you . i am actually -- this is what i love about you , is seeing you get like this , seeing you excited and passionate about something and not being afraid to take chances . take names and kick ass . it 's kind of sexy , actually . hilary : well , that does sound suspiciously like me . [ both chuckle ] devon : well , if you really wanted to do this right , we would need to find the right personality to host . hilary : mm - hmm . devon : somebody that could gain a following and make people want to tune in day to day , right ? hilary : yeah , yeah . i would start putting the word out right away so the show would n't even have to go off the air . i could call talent agencies tomorrow . devon : i actually do n't think that 's even necessary . i know the perfect person . hilary : really ? who ? devon : you . jack : that story on phyllis and me was a hatchet job . pure and simple . i 'm not going to dignify it by trying to refute it . he took everything i said out of context , twisted all of it , insinuated that i put my wife in the hospital ! ashley : i know . and you know how much i love you . you need a reality check . in this marketplace , perception is reality . jack : oh , ash . ashley : if our customers think for a second that our c.e.o . is capable of harming his own wife , we 're gon na lose business , jack . we 're gon na lose it right to brash & sassy . after everything you 've been through , do you really want jill and billy to profit from this ? jack : of course not . ashley : okay . then do yourself a favor . find a reputable news outlet , give an interview , tell your story your way . jack : [ sighing ] no . ashley : yes , face the issue head on , jack . let them know this was an accident according to you , phyllis , and the police , who investigated and dropped it . explain the whole situation was woefully misrepresented . jack : and make a new and bigger story . keeps the whole thing alive . ashley : [ sighs ] jack : i 'm not doing it , ash . i 'm done talking about this . it is over . ashley : jackie , it 's not over just because you want it to be ! i 've got news for you . you do n't even have a prenup ! this divorce could drag on for months ! phyllis is gon na ask for the moon . jack : i seriously doubt that 's gon na happen . ashley : really ? jack : my lawyer has already made a very generous offer . michael : oh , about that . excuse me . i 'm afraid my client 's going to pass . chelsea : what do you think of an asymmetrical hem ? chloe : yeah , i think that could work . faith : i like the sound of that . chelsea : [ chuckles ] you are gon na look fabulous , girlfriend . chloe : yes . chelsea : trust me . chloe : uh , okay . i 'm out of pins . chelsea : oh , uh , storage closet , bottom left - hand drawer . chloe : i 'll be right back . faith : you 're both coming to my party , right ? and bring connor and bella with you , because my dad will be there , too . chelsea : oh , faith , that is such a sweet offer and invitation . thank you . but , um , i 'm sure your mommy has her own guest list . let 's see . faith : mom will be fine with it . chelsea : you really think so ? faith : yeah . ever since sage died , she 's been worried about daddy . she thinks he needs to spend time with connor because of some promise he made . chelsea : right , well , yeah . nick made adam a promise to help take care of connor and help look after me , so ... faith : then you have to say yes . my mom wo n't take no for an answer . devon : how are you wrong for the job ? hilary : because it 's true . i have no experience . devon : that 's not true at all . you have plenty of experience . hilary : devon , just stop it , okay ? i ca n't do this . we need to find someone else . devon : honey , why are you being so nervous about this ? i 've seen you in front of the camera a thousand times . hilary : yeah , at press conferences talking about business and science . devon : you enjoy being in front of the spotlight no matter what the topic is . i mean , is there really a big difference between entertainment and a press conference ? hilary : yes . yes , there is . devon : how ? hilary : for one thing , you have to be likeable or no one will watch , okay ? credible , yeah . intelligent , check . but a bubbly persona for a tv gossip show ? come on , devon . that 's not me . that 's not my style . devon : well , you 're talking about changing the style . find something . get a sexy librarian outfit . you 'll make the male viewership go up . hilary : but what about the news part of things ? i 'm not a journalist . i have no training . maybe i could do , like , a media event or a ribbon cutting or something , but that does n't mean that i can do an incisive interview . devon : i absolutely disagree . i think that you have skills that ca n't be taught . you have an ability to see right through people and see their real motives . no one would be able to hide from you . hilary : yeah , that 's a really nice way of saying that i know how to exploit people 's weaknesses . what does that have to do with news ? devon : it has everything to do with it ! hilary : [ sighs ] devon : because unlike that other horrible reporter , you 're gon na be tactful but you 're gon na be telling people the truth , right ? you 'll know exactly what to say when there 's tragedy or people are hurting . people are gon na fall in love with you and they 'll trust you . hilary : you really think that i could do this ? devon : no , i do n't think . i know . hilary : okay , fine . you know , i - i could shadow a pro for a bit , maybe do some really small segments . devon : no . i think you 're ready to be an anchor today . hilary : devon . devon : you know everything that you need to know . what were we calling it ? it 's gossip with a conscience , right ? and you know something ? i have the perfect story to start with that 's gon na make you a star . hilary : mm - hmm . devon : trust me . hilary : [ chuckles ] michael : phyllis does n't want a divorce on any terms . ashley : right . it 's a play for more time and more money , and you know it . michael : you can think what you like , but she 's not negotiating for more cash . she loves you , jack . and i believe that you love her , too . ashley : so tell me something . are you here delivering a message as an attorney or as a friend ? which is it ? michael : [ sighs ] with phyllis , the line does get blurred , but i came through that door as her lawyer . jack : fine . you 've seen the offer . get her to take it . and from now on , i want you to communicate with my lawyer . michael : we both know phyllis . she 's not giving up , jack ! ashley : if you 're really her friend , then do her a favor and tell her this is not a fight she 's going to win . summer : is that where you fell ? phyllis : yeah , this is where jack pulled away , and ... really ca n't blame him . i tried to hold on . you know , maybe i should just take michael 's advice and take the settlement and move on , you know . summer : no , no , do n't think that right now , okay ? we 're just gon na grab a few things you 're gon na need for the next few days , and then i can come back and get the rest of it , okay ? phyllis : it 's okay , sweetie . that 's a sweet offer , but i - i should do it . i should pack ... my things . and that 's just -- that 's not true . i do n't want to pack up my things . i do n't want to move out of this home . i do n't want my marriage to be over . i just ... i do n't . summer : it 's okay . kevin : hey . where 's faith ? mariah : is she okay ? chloe : [ laughs ] she is miles beyond okay . mariah : what do you mean ? kevin : why did she come here ? chloe : so many questions . all i have to say is that little girl knows what she wants . she feels at home here . i know the feeling . chelsea : if i may have your attention , please , i would like to introduce my newest , most fabulous model , wearing a dazzling , new creation . [ cheering ] kevin : wow ! hey there , gorgeous ! what 's the occasion ? chelsea : ooh , la , la ! faith : my birthday 's tomorrow , and i needed a dress . [ laughter ] chloe : so good . mariah : okay , okay . let 's , uh , rein it in . um , i 'm glad you 're okay and that this is what you were doing the entire time i was frantically looking for you . faith : oops . mariah : yeah , it 's a big `` oops . `` i had the whole police force out looking for you . faith : the whole force ? mariah : well , i had kevin . the point is , you can not run off like that . you have to tell me where you 're going . faith : i 'm sorry . do you like my new dress ? [ laughter ] mariah : yes , yes , i love it . you look amazing . faith : it 's an asymmetrical hemline . mariah : wow . you know , i 'm gon na have to take your word for that . but one small question -- how are you going to pay for this ? faith : i 've saved almost $ 20 from the tooth fairy . mariah : oh , 20 , uh , 20 bucks for a designer original . kevin : it seems a little low . chloe : i think we can make it work . chelsea : i think so . all right , now that you 're all fitted , i can help you change , okay ? faith : okay . everyone 's invited to my party . promise you 'll come ? kevin : are you kidding ? i would n't miss it . chloe : i love me some birthday cake . count me in . faith : all right ! chloe : [ laughs ] so cute . kevin : [ sighs ] hey , can i help you with something ? chloe : [ chuckles ] thanks . kevin : uh , i got your text thanking me for last night . you did n't have to do that . chloe : well , maybe i wanted to . hey , so there is this nightly ghost walk coming up for halloween . it 's in two weeks , and then it runs to the end of the month , and i was thinking about getting a ticket or ... maybe two . kevin : two weeks , huh ? it seems like a far - off time from now . chloe : well , there is faith 's birthday . we can always meet there ? kevin : yeah , maybe . michael : it 's not about winning or losing , ashley . the last thing phyllis wants is for this to become adversarial . ashley : [ scoffs ] too late for that . ashley : what part of `` no `` are you not hearing ? michael : you know , with all due respect , i do n't -- ashley : i 'm speaking for jack , so listen carefully . phyllis did n't just compromise that marriage . you realize that , right ? she took a sledgehammer to it , michael . there 's nothing left . so let 's do what 's right for all parties concerned . convince your client to accept the settlement . let 's not inflict any more pain or heartache on jack or phyllis . hmm ? michael : i know you 'd do anything for jack . ashley : you betcha . michael : but why would you care about phyllis ? ashley : i do n't really so much . but i know you do . do you really want to see her dragged through an ugly divorce ? i mean , just to be played out in the tabloids endlessly ? michael : no , it 's the last thing i want to see . ashley : good . i think it 's up to us to make this as painless as possible . name your price . phyllis : i do n't know what i would do if it were n't for you . yes , i do . yes , i do . summer : yes , you do . you 'd be putting one foot in front of the other , finding out how to get through this . phyllis : i refuse to feel sorry for myself , you know ? there 's one person responsible for all of this , and it 's the person i see in the mirror every day . summer : mom , no , it takes two , okay ? and i learned that the hard way , and billy is gon na get his own share of the blame . and look , as much as i love jack , he is no saint . he is gon na wake up one morning when all this comes down and realize that he is human . he 's gon na forgive you one day . i 'm sure of it . okay ? phyllis : [ chuckles ] the mother 's supposed to comfort her own kid , not the other way around . summer : okay , so we 'll take turns . phyllis : [ chuckles ] deal . i 'm gon na go put some things in a suitcase , okay ? summer : okay , i 'll give you a hand . phyllis : all right . phyllis : i know you do n't want me here . i , uh , just came to gather some of my things . jack : you should have called first . phyllis : i know . everything happened so quickly . i was released from the hospital earlier than expected . summer : yeah , mom did a lot better than the doctors thought that she would . just a mild concussion . they do n't think that there 's gon na be any lasting effects . phyllis : yeah . i was born hard - headed , so ... you knew that already , though . jack : i 'm glad you 're better . phyllis : thank you so m -- jack : that way you wo n't have any reason to drag your feet on the divorce . michael : i envy you , ashley . ashley : really ? michael : yeah , really . on an ordinary day , you can mix some chemicals up and come up with a formula that reverses the aging process or makes someone smell like a little bit of heaven . me , i 'm a lawyer . on a really good day , i get to keep the party of the first part from ripping the heart out of the party of the second part . and on a really excellent day , i can convince both sides to settle before even setting foot in front of a judge . but most days , it 's about words , words that sting , words that do damage , words that no amount of money can take back . do you hear what i 'm saying ? ashley : oh , yeah . i heard every last word . here 's the thing , though . see , jack was n't hurt by words , michael . he was hurt by deeds that were done in secret , behind his back , by his wife and his brother . yeah . nothing can undo that . there 's no amount of tears or acts of contrition that are ever gon na erase that from jack 's memory , so please ... tell phyllis that . tell her to stop hurting the man that she claims to love . tell her to let him go so he can get on with his life and start healing . chelsea : all right . i promise to deliver your dress to you by your birthday . faith : i have $ 5 in my purse . is that enough for a down payment ? chelsea : sweetheart , i really appreciate that offer , but you keep your money . this is my gift to you . faith : really ? thank you so much , chelsea ! chelsea : [ laughs ] it 's my pleasure . chloe : hey , wait a minute . i held the pincushion , you know . [ laughter ] mariah : well , i think that we should let chelsea and chloe get back to work . uh , you coming ? kevin : uh , i think i 'm gon na stick around for a bit , but i can walk you guys out . mariah : oh , no , no . that 's totally fine . i owe faith an ice cream cone anyway , and we need to have a little conversation about running off without telling anybody . faith : okay . [ laughter ] chelsea : bye . mariah : bye . faith : bye . chelsea : you know , i 've dressed celebrities and billionaires , yet making faith happy is , like , the highlight of my career . chloe : i know . so cute , right ? chelsea : yeah . all right , i 'm gon na go work on this . if you 'll excuse me . chloe : okay . are you wishing you went with them ? hilary : [ sighs ] devon : hey . how you doing ? you look beautiful . i just want you to relax and be yourself , okay ? hilary : really ? really ? that 's all there is to it ? devon : yeah , yeah , 'cause we 're going for hip and casual , you know ? like friends talking over a drink , not a newscast . hilary : what if i totally flub something ? devon : if you do , we can fix when we edit it . we 're not live . devon : yeah . yeah , yeah , yeah . the director should be here soon , and he 'll probably have suggestions , but for right now , we can give it a shot . come on . hilary : okay . devon : she good ? hilary : thank you . all right .

[ scene_break ] j.t . : and i do n't like the idea of her taking reed away for so long . you know , when victoria and i both worked at newman , it was , uh , it was great , you know ? we saw each other all the time , but now it 's , uh , it 's a mess . [ scene_break ] kay : how does j.t . feel about that ? victoria : he does n't want me to go . kay : well , i would be thrilled to have you work at chancellor . victoria : i think no matter where i work , it 's not gon na change things with j.t . kay : i see . so your careers are not really the problem .

[ scene_break ] j.t . : victoria and i have talked about the affair . i 've forgiven her , and we 're moving past it . paul : you do n't really believe it 's that simple , though , do you ? it 's not easy to recover from that kind of betrayal , on both sides . trust me , i have been there . i 'm sure victoria feels guilty . and i would be very surprised to find out that you are -- are able to completely let it go and -- and trust her completely .

[ scene_break ] phyllis : you know it 's up to us to find a connection . amber : how ? phyllis : why would somebody after committing a murder take time to toss a gym bag in the trash unless there was something incriminating inside of it ? amber : so we go dumpster - diving and find the bag . phyllis : yeah , by this time , you know it 's in a landfill somewhere . amber : well , i will tear apart that landfill to save daniel . phyllis : so will i . amber : mm - hmm .

[ scene_break ] cole : i really screwed this up , did n't i ? john : i just wish you would have talked to me before you went to him . cole : i 'm sorry . john : do n't worry , i 'll take care of manning . look , i kind of understand , you know . you 're the kind of guy -- you lead with your heart instead of your head . i think maybe you probably get that from your mom . cole : what am i supposed to do now ? john : well , have you told starr ? cole : no . john : i think you need to tell her , cole . you need to tell her that her secret 's out -- if she does n't know already .

[ scene_break ] michael : adopting starr 's baby is not a chance , it 's not this great opportunity , all right ? it 's a recipe for disaster . it 's a no - win situation . marcie : we would be legally protected this time . michael : legally protected ? since when have laws stopped todd manning from doing anything ? marcie : michael , do n't -- michael : no , marcie , please , listen , i know exactly how this would play out , okay ? you would pour everything you have into loving this child , and then the system would betray you or starr would change her mind or todd would get involved . one way or another , that child would be ripped out of your arms . marcie : you can not know that for sure -- michael : and what i can not do is sit by and watch your heart get shredded again , because i do n't think you would survive it this time .

[ scene_break ] michael : what exactly did you say to starr the second time she asked ? marcie : she was very adamant , michael , that her baby not be raised by strangers . michael : marcie -- marcie : she just asked that i give it some thought . michael : you have already given it some thought . marcie : yes , and i realize that adopting starr 's baby could prove to be problematic , michael , but -- michael : problem -- it would be insane . marcie : but it 's not impossible , mike . impossible is us ever having a child of our own , michael , but now there 's a chance . michael : no , the answer 's no . [ marcie scoffs ] marcie : we always said that we wanted a family , michael . if this was a different baby , you would want this baby . michael : if it was different baby , i would , but -- marcie : but what , michael ? there 's never going to be a different baby , michael , not once they run a background check on me . starr understands why i did what i did . she still thinks i 'm a good mother , michael . this is our only chance to ever have another child . come on , mike , do n't we deserve to take it ? [ scene_break ] john : run that by me again ? cole : starr offered to give our baby to marcie . john : when ? cole : i do n't know . she 's not exactly talking to me about it . john : do you know if marcie said yes ? cole : well , i 'm guessing . john : but you 're not sure . cole : listen , i do n't know , all right ? i freaked out when starr told me what she wanted to do . anyway , so we 're not exactly talking details here , but i know that she 's dead set on giving our baby to your brother and marcie mcbain . john : so it makes sense -- when i saw marcie in the diner the other day , she was with her lawyer . cole : yeah , and starr and i were there , too , remember ? john : yeah . cole : and that 's when i figured out what starr was trying to do , and i tried talking her out of it . and when i could n't , then that 's when i decided to tell mr. manning everything . john : everything ? cole : yeah , all these people are making plans to take my kid , man . john : did you tell manning that starr wants to give the baby to michael and marcie . cole : sorry . i obviously was n't thinking . what do you think starr 's dad 's going to do ? john : well , i 'll tell you what he 's not going to do . he 's not going to let it go .

[ tess pants ] [ scene_break ] tina : uh -- yeah . when i got here , there was nobody here at all . [ tina chuckles ] tina : nobody here but us chickens . but , listen , i have a real important meeting i have to get to , so , um , hey , it was great meeting you and i heard a lot about you from viki . charlie : well , she said a lot to me about you , too . tina : really ? charlie : absolutely . tina : um -- hmm . uh -- you know , it 's -- it 's probably all true and i hope you do n't hold it against me . charlie : well , as long as you 'll do the same for me . tina : you know , actually , viki has n't told me that much about you . charlie : oh . tina : no -- it 's more like when your name comes up , she just kind of stares at her ring and twirls it around . charlie : that bad , huh ? tina : that good . she only does that when she is head over heels -- or worried . or both . charlie : well , thank you for that vote of confidence , then , i think . uh -- tina : and , you know -- i can see why she fell for you . charlie : what , just like that , huh ? tina : oh , i am a very good judge of character when it comes to men . you know , and i once fell for a guy like you -- you know , honest , decent , salt of the earth . i even married him and had his kids . [ tina sighs ] tina : i hope viki has more sense than i did . charlie : well , i 'm not really sure i 've been all that good for viki . tina : you know what , charlie banks ? i 'm going to give you a little bit of advice . you know the -- the caring , sensitive thing ? i mean , that worked really well when you were trying to win viki , but now that you want to win her back , you got to get her attention , just knock her socks off . charlie : well , i 'm -- i 'm working on that . tina : oh . you 've got some tricks up your sleeve ? charlie : well , you 'll find out -- soon , i hope . [ tina chuckles ] tina : oh , and your son is a great guy , too . charlie : well , i could n't agree with you more . i just wish i knew where jared was so that i could tell him that to his face . tina : um -- i -- i think he knows . [ scene_break ] viki : what exactly are you saying ? todd : i 'm saying when you -- when you ditch the family for months on end , go off slumming in texas in that diner or -- or going to africa to do your good works , things tend to fall apart on the home front , not that it 's your fault , of course . viki : you certainly make it sound like it is . todd : i 'm not saying that you could 've stopped marcie mcbain , for example , from stealing my son but it -- it did go away once you showed up again . viki : are you kidding ? she took me hostage . todd : and you got through to her , did n't you ? just like you usually get through to tess . maybe natalie would n't be missing now . viki : oh , anything else i 've done wrong ? todd : hey , you know , you 've always held me accountable for my actions . i 'm just returning the favor . viki : and what does any of this have to do with the fact that i 'm sitting here waiting for tess ? todd : i do n't know . i 'm just saying that maybe if you had n't have gone , things would 've turned out different for a lot of people . viki : how were you affected by that ? [ scene_break ] marty : hey . um -- maybe if i held you . i remember . would you mind if i picked you up ? oh . oh , oh ! marty : lullaby and good night in the sky stars are bright wild roses in bloom fill with fragrance the room [ scene_break ] cole : i just should n't have sent you my essay , that 's all . starr : cole , i thought it was amazing . cole : me spilling my guts ? starr : it takes a lot of guts to write something like that down on paper and then to send it out to strangers ? cole : yeah , well , i still do n't know if i will . starr : look , i think you should . i 'm no college admissions person , but if i read that essay , i would think that here is someone who 's real , who 's not afraid to say how he feels . i 'd probably think that you were the most incredible person that there is . why do you wish that you did n't send me that email ? cole : just was n't fair -- you know , sending it to you without telling you that i talked about you in it . starr : cole -- cole : i -- yeah , i know . we 're -- we 're friends . starr : we are . cole : but it 's not like it was before . starr : i 'm -- i 'm really grateful that you wanted me to read that letter even if you did change your mind . it means a lot to me . cole : you did n't have to come here . starr : yes , i did . you could n't be alone , cole , not tonight . [ scene_break ] marty : may your slumber be blessed lay you down and now i rest may your slumber be blessed [ scene_break ] todd : i 've done stuff that -- well , you know my rap sheet . viki : i 'm not sure what you 're talking about . is it blair and the children ? todd : no , it 's just -- well , you know how i 'm always talking about what 's been done to me by other people ? well , this time i did it to myself , i created it . and i have just been needing someone on my side . viki : and you think i abandoned you ? todd : oh , no , it 's not about you . viki : have you met someone ? todd : yes , as a matter of fact , someone who listens to me , who does n't judge me like everyone else . viki : that 's good . todd : really ? viki : yeah . everyone should have someone . no one should be alone . todd : even me ? viki : especially you . [ todd chuckles ] todd : i 'm sorry . viki : for what ? todd : oh , i did n't mean to come down on you like that . you should n't have to have the whole weight of the family on your shoulders . i could 've done more . viki : what could you have done ? [ phone rings ] viki : excuse me . charlie , have you heard anything ? charlie : no , i 'm sorry . you know , i made the rounds of all of jared 's regular places and nobody 's seen or heard from him . and so i stopped by your place to see if maybe you had gotten back here from your brother 's and i 'm -- that 's where i am now . viki : well , i 'm still at todd 's . but tess was here . charlie : what , and -- and todd knew that ? viki : no , no , no . he thought she was jessica . charlie : what -- tess is n't there now ? viki : the thing is that she left the baby here and she went off somewhere and we have no idea where she is . charlie : okay , but is bree all right ? viki : yeah , she -- she seems to be fine . um -- i 'm -- i 'm going to wait here for tess until she comes back for bree . charlie : okay , well , why do n't you bring bree back here and we 'll wait together ? viki : oh , i do n't know . charlie : look , tess is going to go straight to you when she finds out that you 've got bree . viki : maybe you 're right . maybe i should come home okay , fine . i 'll -- i 'll be there . i 'll be there soon , okay ? bye . todd : going home ? viki : yeah . yeah , at least bree can sleep in her own bed . but look , if tess comes back here -- todd : i 'll be waiting with a straitjacket . [ scene_break ] jared : let us out of here . you need our help . tess : like i need a kick in the gut . natalie : okay , did your water break ? are you having any contractions ? tess : none of your damn business ! natalie : god , you are so stubborn ! really , are you -- are you willing to put this revenge in front of your own life ? in front of your own baby 's life ? is this vendetta really worth losing your life ? losing that baby 's life ? tess : not going to happen . natalie : really ? okay , all right , uncle todd . tess : what does he have to do with this ? natalie : because you are so much like him . you 're so much like him , and look at him , look how he turned out -- he 's all alone in that big house . is that what you want -- to be like todd ? do you really , really want to put your life and your baby 's life at risk here just so you can say you won ? [ scene_break ] viki : that 's my girl . todd : hey . [ bree cries ] todd : oh . here you go . viki : listen , you be very careful , will you , because she may be tess but she 's carrying jessica 's baby . todd : okay , you can count on me . viki : ah , yeah , right . todd : bye . viki : what a good girl . [ scene_break ] [ marty hums ] todd : marty ? todd : what are you doing ? [ scene_break ] natalie : come on , tess . before you have another contraction , just let us out . jared : just enter the damn code , tess , and we 'll get you out of here . we 'll get help for you and your baby , okay ? [ tess gasps ] tess : oh . i 'm sorry , baby , i 'm sorry . i tried so hard . i ca n't do it anymore . i ca n't . i ca n't lose you . [ tess pants ] tess : oh . tess : oh , god ! if you burn me , i swear to god i 'll make you pay . i swear to god i will make you pay if it 's the last thing i do . do you have it , you got it ? [ scene_break ] todd : what were you doing just now ? marty : um , i came in to check on bree . where is she ? todd : viki just took her . marty : why ? what 's jessica going to say when she comes back and her child 's not here ? todd : viki 's jessie 's mom . marty : i know , but she left her with us . i mean , i 'd be upset if somebody took my child without telling me . [ scene_break ] viki : i put bree to bed . charlie : yeah , good . now , are you all right ? viki : yeah , i 'm okay . still no word on tess ? charlie : no , nothing on tess or jared or natalie . viki : i do n't know what to do . i have no idea what to do . i mean , all we can do is just wait and hope that she shows up , right , tess . charlie : now , what did todd say when you talked to him ? viki : oh , please . oh , no -- insisted he had no idea that jessica was tess . charlie : you do n't believe him ? [ viki chuckles ] viki : todd has always had a very casual relationship with the truth . although , i think in this case , tonight he was just trying to get rid of me . charlie : but why would he do that ? viki : todd ? it could be anything . [ scene_break ] todd : i thought i heard singing when i came up . marty : you heard that , huh ? todd : yeah . it sounded like a lullaby . marty : yeah , the lights were kind of low and i thought bree was here . i feel kind of like an idiot . todd : no , no , not at all . it was lovely . if i was a babe , i 'd -- i 'd be in dreamland if i heard a voice like that . what ? marty : i was n't singing to bree . todd : who were you singing to ? marty : huh . the son i never had . [ scene_break ] starr : i ca n't believe you 're looking at colleges . cole : yeah , i know . i mean , i would n't be if nora had n't stayed on my case . starr : do you think you know where you want to go ? cole : i applied to a couple of schools in california . starr : wow , california . well , you did live there . i guess that could work . cole : i was also thinking about maybe notre dame or michigan . starr : they 're really good schools . cole : yeah . well , nora thinks i have a lock at l.u . because of my mom . starr : l.u . is a great school , and you 're a jock , and i think it would be really easy for you to get in . you would definitely -- definitely get in . cole : i do n't know if i want to go to l.u . starr : why ? cole : because i 'd feel like i got in because of my mom or because of what happened to my mom . starr : so ? cole : i 've spent this last year being the kid whose mom died . everything i did , the way i acted , was all about me being alone , even though i was n't . but then it hit me when i wrote this letter . i mean , instead of being all about what happened and what i lost , i should be thinking about how lucky i am that i had my mom for as long as i did . my mom , she worked so hard to teach me to be my own person , to stand up for myself . i do n't want to feel like i 'm working what happened to her . i do n't want a free pass because my parents are n't around , and i do n't want to blame my mistakes on my parents because they 're not here . wherever i go , whatever i do , it 's all on me . i have to stand on my own two feet . [ scene_break ] charlie : i was worried about you . viki : you did n't need to be , you know ? one thing i know , todd would never , never let tess do anything to me . i can not believe i 'm talking about my own child that way . charlie : viki . i -- i do n't know what to do . viki : okay , i think the only thing we have to do is figure out how we 're going to handle tess when she comes for bree . charlie : tell me something . did tina do all of the dealings with tess the whole time you were gone ? viki : you know tina ? charlie : oh -- yeah , just met her , as a matter of fact . believe me , your description does not do her justice . huh . viki : why , what 'd she do ? charlie : well , i 'll tell you what she did n't do . she did n't -- she did n't clobber me over the head with this rolling pin . viki : she was going to hit you ? charlie : well , i think she thought i was somebody else , so -- but she is worried about something . viki : oh , lord . what kind of trouble is she in now ? [ scene_break ] tina : smitty ? smitty : who 'd you think i was , brad pitt ? tina : i was n't sure with all these people in costume . smitty : i 'm just going as a tired , old jeweler tonight . what are you supposed to be ? tina : oh , a deposed faux - princess , desperately in need of a white knight . smitty : whoa . at your service , my lady . [ tina and smitty laugh ] tina : so , my lord , you got the goods ? smitty : do n't i always ? tina : oh , smitty . smitty : huh ? tina : you are quite the artiste . smitty : for you , tina , only my best . of course , no forged jewel can stand up to close scrutiny , so -- tina : do n't worry . i know the score . now , these babies here , they just have to fool one fool long enough for me to get what is rightfully mine for me to be able to put my niece where she rightfully belongs , in a padded cell . [ scene_break ] natalie : you 're doing the right thing , tess . tess : it 's not for you . natalie : i know , i know , it 's for the baby . jared : we 're going to get you straight to the hospital as soon as we get out of here . natalie : god , nash would be so proud of you . [ tess rattles lock ] jared : it did n't work . natalie : it must 've -- you know , maybe try the buttons again . you know , just try it again . tess : who says nash would be proud of me ? jared : no , no -- no , no , no , she just meant that -- that he would be glad to know that you did whatever it took to save his baby . tess : yeah . he 'd say , `` your baby needs you now , so get up off your ass , tess . `` and he 'd also say , `` if you can take care of these two creeps at the same time , then do that , too . `` natalie : no , you know he would n't say that ! tess : yes , he would . i knew him better than anyone , even better than jessica , and he would n't settle for anything less than having it all , and i am going to give it to him . [ tess breathes heavily ] tess : so screw you and your help ! i can do this on my own . [ scene_break ] cole : i saw trick - or - treaters everywhere on my way over here . starr : oh , so did i . actually , my grandma handed out the candy this year . i did n't feel too into halloween . cole : remember last year when we told jack he could stay up and watch the movie with us ? starr : yeah . cole : when i was on my way over here , i saw a kid wearing that mask . the same mask that guy wore -- the guy that i found in my apartment , the one that took me and my mom . starr : cole , are you okay ? cole : the mask , you know , i guess it 's a classic . i 'm sure it 's going to be around every year . starr : and i say we should torch the warehouse . cole : you know , just for a second , everything hit me again . but just for a second , and then i was okay . and that 's when i knew i was going to be okay . and then i could say goodbye to my mom . [ scene_break ] todd : what 're you talking about ? marty : hmm . i do n't know if i 'm losing my mind or just getting it back . todd : well , start from the beginning . marty : um , okay . well , i think it 's all this time i 've been spending with bree . it 's just kind of woke up something inside of me . todd : like memories ? marty : i do n't know what they are . i just know that i came up here to check on her , she was n't in the crib , and all the sudden , he 's there . he 's right there in that crib . todd : i bet it 's just your mind playing tricks on you . marty : i know the unconscious can do really strange things , but i think my mind is trying to reveal something to me . i know it sounds crazy , but it seemed so real . i could not have conjured up an image like that out of thin air . no , this -- this little boy means something to me . he means something very profound and very vital and i need to understand what it is . todd : marty , i thought we agreed , we are not going to look into the past . marty : yeah , i know we did , but -- not now . this -- this -- this -- i need to understand what this is or it 's going to eat at me for the rest of my life . this little boy is going to come back to me in any -- in some shape or form until i understand what his significance is . i ca n't leave him behind . do you understand where something could haunt you for the rest of your life unless you do something and everything you possibly can to put it to rest ? todd : mm - hmm . [ scene_break ] viki : what ? charlie : nothing . i was just -- it was just something , um -- was what tina said about when you do that . viki : when i do what ? twist my ring ? charlie : yeah . tina said that you do that when you 're , um , you know , worried or when you 're -- viki : or when i 'm what ? charlie : nothing . viki : tell me . what did she say ? charlie : well -- she said you do it when -- when you 're head over heels . viki : she said that , huh ? charlie : her words , not mine , so -- viki : tina , the great observer of mankind . thinks she knows everything about me . charlie : well , does she ? viki : i do n't know . it 's so late . where is tess ? what is she doing ? i 'm going to have to go check on bree . charlie : look , viki , i could stay . i mean , if you really want me to leave , i will . viki : no . no , i would love you to stay if you do n't mind . i do n't know if i can handle tess by myself . charlie : well , i was going to stay parked outside , even if you did ask me to leave , so -- viki : charlie , it could get really , really ugly , you know ? i mean , she might need to be restrained . and she 's pregnant . i was going to call bo , but i did n't want to set her off . charlie : viki , i wo n't let anything happen to you , okay ? or your daughters . you have my word . viki : thank you . [ scene_break ] jared : running on rage is only going to get you so far , tess . tess : just got to get me up the stairs and you know what ? the pain 's all gone now . natalie : no , okay , but what if you have another contraction ? tess : i 'm sorry for giving you guys hope , but -- wait , who am i kidding ? i 'm not sorry at all . it 's all part of the fun , right ? you know , when i think of nash falling through the skylight and me begging for his life , i 'm going to think about you two begging for your life and how it got you nothing , just like my begging got me nothing with nash , so -- natalie : hey , you got to stop thinking about us because i am begging for your baby . tess : my baby will be fine ! jared : you do n't know that . we will make sure of it . tess : shut up . thanks -- it 's been real . [ no dialogue ] natalie : oh , god . [ scene_break ] marty : whatever it is about this little boy , it 's something fundamental about me . it may be the one thing that i need to know before i can go on with the rest of my life . todd : but what if -- what if that one thing undoes everything else ? marty : why would you say that ? you know something i do n't know ? todd , if there 's something you know about what this child means to me , you 'd better tell me right now . [ scene_break ] cole : what do you say we get out of here and go find langston and markko and smash some pumpkins ? starr : i actually have a better idea . i think i have some toilet paper in my car and we should go t.p.-ing . cole : i 'm glad you found me and that you read my letter . starr : me , too . cole : just give me a second , okay ? starr : okay . cole : i 'm going to make you proud of me , mom . i love you . starr : uh -- cole : what 's wrong ? starr : i think my water just broke . [ scene_break ] marty : why did you want me to come down here ? todd : something i wanted you to see . i do n't have a choice anymore . marty : well , what do you have there ? [ scene_break ] natalie : we do n't know how long tess set that bomb for . i mean , it could go off any minute . jared : no , she would be moving a lot faster if that were the case . we still have time , and tina is still out there . she 's going to do something ; she 's going to rescue us . we have to keep believing that , okay ? [ scene_break ] tina : cain , i ca n't believe you 're keeping me waiting with natalie and jared sweating it out in the basement . cain : this dog belong to you , lady . tina : look , get lost . i do n't have any candy . cain ? [ scene_break ] natalie : you know , jared , you know as well as i do that this bomb could go off any minute and kill everyone in the house . jared : that bomb was rigged by a crazy , pregnant bimbo ! it may never go off , okay ? natalie , listen to me , do not give up . natalie : come on , jared , we 've tried everything . i think it 's time we say our goodbyes . [ scene_break ] tess : okay , baby . they 're going to be fine , we both will . we just got to get your sister and get out of here before this place blows . charlie : oh -- | many things are happening at the same time . cole is having memories of his deceased mother and somehow knows he can not leave town to go to college although he consciously wants to . starr is very near to giving birth . at that same time , tess goes to make certain that natalie and jared are `` in line `` . but it looks like she 's going into labor and dependent on them to help her . marty envisions a baby that she knew many years ago but can not pinpoint that it was cole . yet , she tells todd that she can not go anywhere or do anything until she knows who this baby is . yet , she does n't remember cole quite yet . nor does anybody know that she is alive except for todd , tess and janet . | <s>[INST] cole : hey . starr : oh . hi . cole : you come here often ? starr : only when you 're in trouble .

[ scene_break ] viki : what exactly are you saying ? todd : i 'm saying when you -- when you ditch the family for months on end , go off slumming in texas in that diner or -- or going to africa to do your good works , things tend to fall apart on the home front , not that it 's your fault , of course . viki : you certainly make it sound like it is . todd : i 'm not saying that you could 've stopped marcie mcbain , for example , from stealing my son but it -- it did go away once you showed up again . viki : are you kidding ? she took me hostage . todd : and you got through to her , did n't you ? just like you usually get through to tess . maybe natalie would n't be missing now . viki : oh , anything else i 've done wrong ? todd : hey , you know , you 've always held me accountable for my actions . i 'm just returning the favor . viki : and what does any of this have to do with the fact that i 'm sitting here waiting for tess ? todd : i do n't know . i 'm just saying that maybe if you had n't have gone , things would 've turned out different for a lot of people . viki : how were you affected by that ?

[ scene_break ] todd : what were you doing just now ? marty : um , i came in to check on bree . where is she ? todd : viki just took her . marty : why ? what 's jessica going to say when she comes back and her child 's not here ? todd : viki 's jessie 's mom . marty : i know , but she left her with us . i mean , i 'd be upset if somebody took my child without telling me . [ scene_break ] viki : i put bree to bed . charlie : yeah , good . now , are you all right ? viki : yeah , i 'm okay . still no word on tess ? charlie : no , nothing on tess or jared or natalie . viki : i do n't know what to do . i have no idea what to do . i mean , all we can do is just wait and hope that she shows up , right , tess . charlie : now , what did todd say when you talked to him ? viki : oh , please . oh , no -- insisted he had no idea that jessica was tess . charlie : you do n't believe him ? [ viki chuckles ] viki : todd has always had a very casual relationship with the truth . although , i think in this case , tonight he was just trying to get rid of me . charlie : but why would he do that ? viki : todd ? it could be anything . [ scene_break ] todd : i thought i heard singing when i came up . marty : you heard that , huh ? todd : yeah . it sounded like a lullaby . marty : yeah , the lights were kind of low and i thought bree was here . i feel kind of like an idiot . todd : no , no , not at all . it was lovely . if i was a babe , i 'd -- i 'd be in dreamland if i heard a voice like that . what ? marty : i was n't singing to bree . todd : who were you singing to ? marty : huh . the son i never had .

[ scene_break ] natalie : you 're doing the right thing , tess . tess : it 's not for you . natalie : i know , i know , it 's for the baby . jared : we 're going to get you straight to the hospital as soon as we get out of here . natalie : god , nash would be so proud of you .

[ tess breathes heavily ] tess : so screw you and your help ! i can do this on my own . [ scene_break ] cole : i saw trick - or - treaters everywhere on my way over here . starr : oh , so did i . actually , my grandma handed out the candy this year . i did n't feel too into halloween . cole : remember last year when we told jack he could stay up and watch the movie with us ? starr : yeah . cole : when i was on my way over here , i saw a kid wearing that mask . the same mask that guy wore -- the guy that i found in my apartment , the one that took me and my mom . starr : cole , are you okay ? cole : the mask , you know , i guess it 's a classic . i 'm sure it 's going to be around every year . starr : and i say we should torch the warehouse . cole : you know , just for a second , everything hit me again . but just for a second , and then i was okay . and that 's when i knew i was going to be okay . and then i could say goodbye to my mom . [ scene_break ] todd : what 're you talking about ? marty : hmm . i do n't know if i 'm losing my mind or just getting it back . todd : well , start from the beginning . marty : um , okay . well , i think it 's all this time i 've been spending with bree . it 's just kind of woke up something inside of me . todd : like memories ? marty : i do n't know what they are . i just know that i came up here to check on her , she was n't in the crib , and all the sudden , he 's there . he 's right there in that crib . todd : i bet it 's just your mind playing tricks on you . marty : i know the unconscious can do really strange things , but i think my mind is trying to reveal something to me . i know it sounds crazy , but it seemed so real . i could not have conjured up an image like that out of thin air . no , this -- this little boy means something to me . he means something very profound and very vital and i need to understand what it is . todd : marty , i thought we agreed , we are not going to look into the past . marty : yeah , i know we did , but -- not now . this -- this -- this -- i need to understand what this is or it 's going to eat at me for the rest of my life . this little boy is going to come back to me in any -- in some shape or form until i understand what his significance is . i ca n't leave him behind . do you understand where something could haunt you for the rest of your life unless you do something and everything you possibly can to put it to rest ? todd : mm - hmm . [ scene_break ] viki : what ? charlie : nothing . i was just -- it was just something , um -- was what tina said about when you do that . viki : when i do what ? twist my ring ? charlie : yeah . tina said that you do that when you 're , um , you know , worried or when you 're -- viki : or when i 'm what ? charlie : nothing . viki : tell me . what did she say ? charlie : well -- she said you do it when -- when you 're head over heels . viki : she said that , huh ? charlie : her words , not mine , so -- viki : tina , the great observer of mankind . thinks she knows everything about me . charlie : well , does she ? viki : i do n't know . it 's so late . where is tess ? what is she doing ? i 'm going to have to go check on bree . charlie : look , viki , i could stay . i mean , if you really want me to leave , i will . viki : no . no , i would love you to stay if you do n't mind . i do n't know if i can handle tess by myself . charlie : well , i was going to stay parked outside , even if you did ask me to leave , so -- viki : charlie , it could get really , really ugly , you know ? i mean , she might need to be restrained . and she 's pregnant . i was going to call bo , but i did n't want to set her off . charlie : viki , i wo n't let anything happen to you , okay ? or your daughters . you have my word . viki : thank you .

[ chuckles ] phyllis : i 'm sorry . nick : oh , hey , do n't apologize . i 'm sorry that you 're going through this . phyllis : i 'm the adulteress . nobody 's crying for me . at least you had an excuse when we cheated . nick : yeah , cassie had just died and i was spinning out of control . phyllis : where i was an evil , covetous , selfish woman when we hooked up . nick : may have been some of that , but i think mostly you were just exactly what i needed you to be . phyllis : i 'm not comparing what i 'm going through to you losing cassie . i 'm not doing that . nick : phyllis , phyllis , it 's not a competition . hurt is hurt . phyllis : you know , after i realized the man i was living with ... sleeping with that looked just like my husband , i ... i thought i should just move on , you know . i thought , hey , i can -- i can -- i can do that . but i felt like i was getting sort of untethered from everything . nick : and billy was there . phyllis : he was the only solid thing i could hang on to . and he helped . he helped me realize i was n't crazy and what 's most important that i needed to reclaim my life and myself . and i know it sounds absolutely crazy , but i think he gave me the strength to want to work things out with jack . i know what people are saying . they 're saying that i jump from man to man . i 'd say the same thing . but it was n't like that . i love jack , and he does n't deserve any of this . nick : then tell him that . phyllis , do not give up on your marriage . travis : i was just trying to keep things from escalating between you two , okay ? victoria : you acted like he was threatening me , and he was n't . travis : i believe that . victoria : you do ? then why did you interfere ? why did n't you just let me handle it ? [ sighs ] travis : because your voice was starting to carry up the stairs , and i did n't want to wake up the kids , okay ? i agree with you . i think it would be traumatic for him to take the kids with this whole media circus going on right now . victoria : [ sighs ] all right . i misunderstood . travis : look , i probably came across more harsh than i intended . it 's just ... that guy rubs me the wrong way , you know ? why 's he got to be so smug all the time ? call me bartender ? did n't he tend bar for a while ? victoria : yeah , he did . good memory . travis : so how is that an insult ? look , i have no doubt you could have handled yourself . i was just ... i was trying to support you . clumsily . victoria : okay , look , you get an e for effort . i just -- i just want to handle this in the most calm way possible , you know ? travis : yeah , i get it . he 's still their father . victoria : yeah . i believe that keeping billy away from the kids right now is the best thing , but i just -- i do n't know . i worry about him . i worry about how he 's gon na handle things and how this is all gon na end . [ cell phone rings ] victoria : [ sighs ] jill , how are you doing ? jill : i 'm irritated , and it 's giving me indigestion , wondering where my employees are . victoria : are you in the office ? jill : where else would i be , victoria ? now you get over here . there is work to be done . victoria : [ sighs ] lily : i just laid into security about letting those reporters through . if it happens again , i 'm gon na fire first and ask questions later . cane : whoa . have you met my sweet , charming wife before ? devon : [ chuckles ] [ cell phone rings ] cane : one sec . hey , jill . jill : ah ! you remember me . good . then you must also recall that you have a job . now get over here now or you will not have one . cane : her majesty beckons . lily : will you be home in time for dinner ? cane : judging from the way she sounds , i do n't think so , so i love you . lily : love you . cane : see you . lily : you know , as much as i hate those reporters circling like vultures , jack was the one who broadcasted his personal life . so if there 's anyone to blame ... devon : it 's not jack . phyllis : jack hates me . nick : look , he 's hurt and he 's angry . phyllis : he does n't want anything to do with me , nick . nick : he 's just reeling right now . he does n't know what he 's doing . phyllis : well , he refuses to see me . nick : well , you got to try . all right ? just go to jack and explain things to him exactly the way you explained them to me . phyllis : he 's not gon na listen to me . nick : look , he may yell at you . you may have to go through this 2 , 3 , i do n't know , 40 times maybe . but if you still truly love jack , then it 'll be worth it . phyllis : yeah . i do . thank you . nick : sure . neil : jack , i was right there where you are right now . totally consumed with all these dark thoughts . jack : it 's hard to stay sober when all you want to do is -- neil : hurt them ? jack : yeah . neil : yeah . that 's all that was going through my mind when i followed hilary and devon on their honeymoon . jack : oh , you did n't mean to hurt hilary . neil : yeah , but it 's everything that i set into motion . jack : yet i ca n't help how i 'm feeling . neil : you know , this is funny , because that 's exactly what i said to nikki when i started drinking again . you know what she said to me ? `` go to a meeting , neil . `` so i got in her car , i yanked that steering wheel , and i had a meeting , all right -- with christine . we hit her with the car , and she lost that baby . jack : i 'm not drinking , neil . i 'm not using . neil : not yet . and i hope not ever . i am telling you this as your partner in this foundation that we created , as your sponsor , but most importantly , as your friend . jack , look at me . if you walk out that sobered door , you know what 's gon na happen . you 're gon na feel temporary satisfaction , and then what are you gon na feel ? you 're gon na feel remorse and shame . try to remember how much you love those two people , despite the awful thing that they did to you . jack : thanks . i got to go . neil : jack . victoria : thank you so much for understanding this morning , for not running away from me and my messy life . travis : it 's gon na take a lot more than that to scare me off . victoria : you 're so sweet . travis : just get back to work . victoria : okay . bye . travis : see you later . hey , man . cane : hey . so , billy 's really made a mess this time , huh ? you seem to be doing okay with it . victoria : do n't pretend like you 're not thrilled . he makes you look good just by being himself . jill : get your cell phones out . we 're gon na coordinate our schedules . and just so you know , this commercial is crucial to the success of the company . we have to be sure that all the elements are in place for the shoot . billy : great . ready . raring to go . summer : what was so bad that you had to move out instead of staying and sorting things out with jack ? phyllis : it 's complicated . summer : okay , you realize i 'm not a kid anymore , right ? phyllis : [ scoffs ] no , you are definitely not a kid anymore . look , things have been strained between jack and me for a while , okay ? summer : okay , is it because of pass key ? because i know jack was against you and billy trying to buy it out from under grandpa . phyllis : it was more than that . it had a lot to do with victor . summer : okay , and jack wanted you to drop it . phyllis : yeah . honey , look , i know that you love your grandfather and you are gon na support him at that hearing . but i can not forget what happened . that is too much to expect from me . summer : okay , so then tell jack that . phyllis : i did . and he seems to understand , which makes this all very difficult because if he was being insensitive or intolerant , that would be one thing . but he is not . he is being good , true , and wonderful jack . summer : okay , so what 's wrong with that ? phyllis : nothing . but , you know , even when two people love each other , sometimes it is n't enough . not if they want different things . nick : i 've always liked it out here . it 's a great place to think . you know , i know it 's hard . the day comes when you realize your parents , the ones who raised you , who taught you pretty much everything you know , who you turn to for guidance , when you realize they 're people , too . you know , they get angry and confused just like you . they make ... they make mistakes , too . summer : okay , i 'm not faith . i - i learned that a long time ago . nick : yeah ? see , i guess i thought you forgot since you were so hard on your mom back there . summer : you thought i was hard on her ? i thought i took it easy . i thought that she deserved a lot more than i gave her . nick : look , you do n't have to agree with what your mom did . summer : no , i do n't agree with what she did . nobody does . how could they ? nick : okay , just listen to me and let me finish , okay ? it 's not gon na do you any good for you to snap at me . summer : okay , i 'm sorry . i just ... i have a lot running through my mind right now , and sometimes it just comes spilling out , okay ? nick : i get that . this situation , everyone who 's involved , there 's a lot of emotion going around . people are gon na say things that they 're gon na regret . it 's just gon na make things worse . and that 's why i wanted to come out here and try and help you , talk to you like an adult . summer : okay . talk . nick : no one agrees with what your mom did . not even your mom . but she needs you , summer . she does n't have anyone on her side right now . summer : okay , well , then maybe she should have thought about that before she jumped into bed with billy . nick : situations like this , they 're not always black and white . and if you were the adult you claim to be , you would understand that . see , children , they see life like it 's a comic book . there 's always got to be a good guy and a bad guy . life is n't like that at all . summer : okay , so you 're saying that there was no good guy or bad guy in this situation , that there 's nobody to blame ? nick : blame , i -- [ sighs ] look , i do n't know , summer . i just know that your mom needs your support right now . summer : jack needs my support . nick : i know how close you are with jack . he 's a great guy , and you have every reason to be worried about him , but your mom was hurt , too . summer : mom set all of this in motion . she did n't just hurt jack . she destroyed him . i do n't even know why i 'm trying to explain any of this to you . you cheated with mom , too . lily : then get security personnel in here ! i want those reporters out ! please tell me why i should n't be more furious with jack . devon : well , 'cause put yourself in his shoes for a second . after finding out something like this , he 's probably reliving every conversation he 's had with billy and phyllis over the last few months trying to find any clues that he can . and every moment , even if it had nothing to do with the affair , is just a reminder to him of being betrayed by the people who he loves and trusts more than anybody in the world . lily : you 're just thinking about how dad must have felt after you and hilary . devon : no , i 'm just trying to get you to have some sympathy for jack . lily : i do , but i 'm thinking about dad , too . he worked really hard to turn his life around to establish a foundation that does so much good . and in one interview , jack jeopardized all of that . devon : not intentionally , though . lily : it proves that he 's out of control . devon : lily . lily : no , you said it yourself . he should take a leave of absence . neil : i 'm hoping that that 's not gon na be necessary . phyllis : i was hoping we could talk . you did n't storm out , so that 's a good sign . i love you . and i hurt you . and i know what people are saying , and i do n't care . what i care about is what you think . it ... this did not happen because of sex or boredom or because you 're not enough . i need you to understand why it happened , jack . whether you forgive me or not , i need my husband to understand why . billy : what ? oh , i 'm sorry . phones out . right . we 're here to discuss the commercial . let 's do it . cane : what are you doing here ? jill : he works here , cane . focus on the job . billy : that 's right , cane . why do n't you save some of that brainpower ? let 's start discussing . jill : now , as i was saying , about the campaign , billy , i want you and victoria to get together and -- billy : that 's good . i have some good ideas . victoria : oh , yeah , we know all about your ideas . scantily clad women , preferably plied with tequila ? billy : yeah , that one was n't strong , but most great ideas start as a bad one , so , uh , let 's brainstorm . cane : well , at least there 's nowhere to go but up . jill : could we please remember that we 're working as a team here ? so let 's stick to business , okay ? as i was saying -- victoria : no , you know what ? i ca n't do this . i can not work with billy . jill : well , my dear , you do n't get to decide that . billy : you know , mother , that 's fine . i do n't want to work with her , either . summer : did i just say one of those things i 'm gon na regret ? nick : you know what ? it is what it is . yes , your mother and i had an affair . but it 's an example of what i 'm trying to tell you . there was n't a good guy . there was n't a bad guy . it was just two people stuck in a -- in a confusing situation . summer : so is that what adults do when they 're confused ? they just have sex with each other ? nick : [ chuckles ] um ... i guess sometimes yes . summer : that does not sound very mature at all . nick : it 's not , summer . but here 's the thing . nobody ever wakes up and says , `` you know what ? today 's the day . today i 'm gon na go out there and i 'm gon na do something truly awful . i want to hurt and disappoint everyone who loves me . `` summer : i get that , but -- nick : no , i do n't think you do . look , i pray that you never get caught up in something like your mom 's going through right now , but it could happen . and if it does , i absolutely guarantee you you 're gon na have people on your side . summer : i 'm never gon na be in the situation that mom 's in , okay ? i 'm not gon na let that happen to myself . nick : you do n't know that . and you have every right to be angry at everyone -- your mom , me . i mean , lord knows i 've made my fair share of mistakes . but the one mistake that i 've made that i refuse to regret is my affair with your mother . summer : why ? you guys hurt so many people . nick : because we had you . our smart , talented , amazing , sometimes gigantic pain in our butt , but beautiful , rock star , special supergirl . how could i ever regret one of the greatest things that 's ever happened to me ? summer : the greatest thing . nick : like top 12 . devon : so you 're encouraged after talking to jack ? neil : yeah , somewhat . lily : well , did he take responsibility for the damage that he did to the foundation ? neil : he knows , lily . he knows . he even offered to step down . devon : but you did n't take him up on that offer , did you ? neil : no . you know what ? jack was mad . he has every right to be . maybe he heard me . maybe i managed to slow him down enough before he does something irreparable . phyllis : i was struggling with what victor did to us , and i knew that you did n't want me going to him . i was n't ready to forgive . jack : so let me get this straight . you doing this , you having an affair with my brother is my fault ? phyllis : no . [ sighs ] i am trying to explain this to you . jack : i was glad that you had billy . you were finally happy . relaxed . smiling . if i had any idea it was because you were sleeping with my brother ... phyllis : you make me happy , jack . jack : you know what bugs me the worst ? i told as many people as i could how happy i was that you had each other . boy , blind and stupid is a tough combination , is n't it ? phyllis : no . jack : all the while you 're laughing at me behind my back . phyllis : we were n't laughing at you ! jack : gullible jack , believing the best in everyone ! phyllis : you were n't gullible ! you are a good man ! you have stood by me ! you 're the best man i know ! [ papers thud ] jack : and what did i get for that ? phyllis : come on , baby . we 'll go to therapy together . we 'll talk it out . let 's go on a retreat . jack : you know what ? there is one thing you can do for me . phyllis : tell me . what is it ? what you want me to do ? jack : i want you out of my life . get out of my company and give me a divorce . [ next_on ] kevin : i think chloe 's hiding something . something huge . jill : letting billy stew in it would be a huge mistake , and it 's one you ca n't afford to make . billy : right now i 'm more worried about jack and phyllis . phyllis : do n't give up on us ! jack : why not ? you sure as hell did . | the press drives phyllis and billy 's family crazy trying to get a comment about the affair . sumer confronts phyllis calling her a hypocrite who does n't deserve someone as good as jack . jack feels betrayed by jill who should have told him about the affair . jack warns jill that she will pay for not telling him the truth about the affair . jack tells neil he will resign from the foundation , but neil hopes that jack wo n't have to . neil tells jack to think about things and not let the thirst for revenge make him do something to hurt the people he loves . billy and victoria tell jill they ca n't work together anymore . nick tries to make summer understand that life is n't always black and white ; there are shades of gray . nick asks summer to be there for both jack and phyllis . phyllis wants to work on her marriage and continue marriage counseling , but jack wants her out of his life , so he asks phyllis for a divorce . | <s>[INST] nick : hey . i 've been trying to get ahold of you . were you upstairs visiting someone ? summer : yeah , i 've gotten your messages , dad . nick : why did n't you call me back ? summer : i do n't know . i 've been busy . nick : [ sighs ] did you hear about your mom ? summer : yeah , it 'd be kind of hard not to . i mean , social media blew up last night and has not slowed down this morning . so , anyway , i 'm on my way home . nick : summer , your mom 's gon na need us right now . summer : we need to be worried about jack right now . come on , come on , phyllis . why did you sleep with your husband 's brother ? victoria : [ sighs ] billy . billy : why do you look so surprised to see me for ? victoria : i 'm kind of wondering what you 're doing here right now . billy : well , i 'm here because it 's my day with the kids . victoria : are you serious ? billy : yes . are you gon na push me on this today ? travis : it 's not a fight you want to have . neil : would you let me talk for a minute ? this story was supposed to be about the mission of the foundation , not about jack 's personal life . yeah , but i 'm just asking you -- okay , i realize that it 's not up to you , but -- never mind . devon : hey , we all saw the interview . neil : yeah , i was just on the phone with lois . she was gon na kill the story , but i -- cane : yeah , but the boss could n't resist the cheap sensationalism , huh ? neil : yeah , that about sums it up . devon : but we need to do something , because the foundation ca n't afford to have this kind of bad press . lily : dad , we have to get in front of this . neil : any shot i had at that was blown the minute that jack went off on live tv . cane : did jack say he was having a problem with phyllis ? neil : he seemed fine . i mean , the interview was going great , and then -- lily : well , he 's not fine anymore . the whole world thinks he lost it . he put in jeopardy everything that you two have worked so hard for . devon : the man just found out that his wife was cheating on him , so it makes sense that he 's being out of control . neil : yeah . like i was . whoa , whoa , jack , what 's going on here ? what 's this all about ? jack : it 's about billy . my good - for - nothing brother . the screw - up who slept with my wife . [ doorbell rings ] jack : you got a minute ? jill : yeah , of course . jack , i 'm so sorry . i never meant for this to happen . jack : then why did n't you tell me ? devon : look , neil , i was n't trying to make comparisons . neil : well , i am . cane : all right , listen , we do n't have to revisit this , guys , all right ? neil : i need to if i 'm gon na help jack . the comparisons are absolutely unavoidable . you know , jack was cheated on like i was . it 's a hard hit to find out that the woman you love , the woman you share your vows with is cheating on you with a family member . i was completely irrational . i did n't care about the consequences . i boarded that plane to chicago with all of you , and i was drinking . lily : okay , dad , what is the point of this ? devon : just let him go through it . neil , you confronted me and hilary and you forced us to be honest with you . did that help ? neil : i wish it had . i was so out of my mind with anger and jealousy . you have no idea . lily : well , we 've gotten past it , all of us . neil : have we ? devon : of course we have . we 're all in completely different places in life right now . lily : yeah , dad , we love you . neil : we 're all still going through what i did , are n't we ? how do i keep jack from going there ? devon : well , i tell you , you be there for him , and you make sure that he knows that he can always come to you if he needs to . neil : he ca n't get caught up in all that pain with wanting revenge , i mean , otherwise he 's gon na end up hurting himself and -- and everyone that he cares about . jack : where the hell are you going ? jill : i just thought if we 're gon na talk about this , i would make you some tea . jack : you 're a coward . jill : what ? jack : you know what you did was wrong . you 'd rather go to the kitchen than face me . jill : why are you blaming me ? phyllis is the one you should be -- jack : my wife was cheating on me ! you never said a word to me ! jill : i know i did n't ! i did n't want to hurt you ! jack : so you blackmail phyllis ? how is that helping me ? jill : phyllis told you i blackmailed her ? jack : i want to know why you did it . jill : all right . for starters , i was trying to protect the family . jack : what ? by covering for billy the way you always do , the way we 've always done ? jill : i know that . i know that . look , billy did n't mean to hurt you . jack : he was sleeping with my wife ! jill : i know . it 's indefensible . jack : so is what you did ! jill : jack , i was looking out for my son . jack : yeah , and to hell with me . jill : no . why hurt you when i 'd already forced the two of them to stay apart ? jack : you still do n't see that what you did was wrong . why do n't you see that ? how can you not ? ! jill : because i did n't know what to do ! i knew i had to do something ! i thought if i threatened them , it would wake them up ! this is what i was trying to avoid , this exact thing , you having your heart broken . jack : oh , wow . nice spin . jill : it 's the truth ! jack : you are no better than they are ! and this -- this betrayal you will pay for . billy : where is johnny and katie 's stuff ? you usually have it out for me . victoria : not today , billy . billy : okay , you , just -- you get out of here . victoria : do n't talk to him like that . billy : no , this is between me and you about our children . and just because you 're sleeping here , it does n't mean you get to butt into our conversation . so just skedaddle , bartender . victoria : it 's okay , travis . i can handle this . travis : call me if you need me . billy : will do . look , this is not a good day to test me . victoria : well , i 'm sorry . i ca n't really pick and choose what days your affairs become tabloid fodder . i ca n't believe you would show up here after what happened . billy : what happened ? well , as far as our kids are concerned , nothing has happened . victoria : look at you , billy ! you 're a mess ! billy : yes , vick . i 'm all messed up . victoria : `` messed up `` does n't even begin to describe ! billy : okay , look , i slept with my brother 's wife . that makes me a terrible , terrible human being to everybody else in the world . but to our children , i am still their father , and you do not get to keep my kids from me . how long has the affair been going on ? nick : leave her alone . did you have any idea that your husband knew what was happening ? nick : do n't answer that , phyllis . i 'd just really love to hear what you have to say . nick : she has no comment . phyllis ! what 's going on in your head ? phyllis : you want to know what 's going on in my head ? nick : no , no , no , no . she 's not answering that . you go get a drink . you want a comment , i 'll give it to you up there . let 's go . come on . you , too . phyllis : baby . baby , are they bothering you about all this stuff ? [ sighs ] summer : really ? now you 're concerned ? phyllis : i am concerned . your father and i have always been concerned . we 've tried to protect you from this kind of stuff . summer : what 's `` this stuff `` ? phyllis : this ! this media circus ! summer : you created this media circus . phyllis : no , i did not . no , i did not . jack opened up on a televised interview . summer : and if he had n't , it would have only postponed the inevitable , mom ! you brought this media circus here ! you brought them to town ! phyllis : you do n't understand . summer : mom , please do not talk to me like i am 12 . i understand . what are you even doing here anyway ? phyllis : jack spent the night here . i came to see him . i need to speak with him . summer : jack is not here . i already checked his room . phyllis : that 's good . that 's good that you are looking out for him . summer : yeah , you know , i 'm worried about jack because he 's always looked out for me and he 's always looked out for you . phyllis : i know . i 've been trying to call you . i have been leaving you messages . i have been texting you . why have n't you returned them ? summer : you do n't get it , do you ? phyllis : get what ? ! summer : i do n't want to talk to you . phyllis : do n't say that . summer : jack has done nothing but love you and support you and put up with you . phyllis : put up with me ? summer : you left him ! you moved in here ! you made him think that he did something wrong , that he was ruining your marriage , destroying your marriage , when all this time , i mean ... how could you do this to him ? nick : we are talking about people 's lives here , deeply personal and private matters that are none of your business . and you need to get out of my face with that . stop trying to turn this traumatic event into a sound byte . you 're sensationalizing the pain that my friends are going through without any regard to the entire abbott family . mr. newman . nick : i 'm not gon na tell you this again . stop harassing my friends . phyllis : summer , this is complicated . i did not want to hurt jack . summer : yeah . well , then maybe you should n't have slept with his brother , mom . phyllis : [ sighs ] ca n't you understand ? i feel horrible about what i have done ! summer : right ? well , you should , mom . because now the rest of us feel terrible . and going on and on , warning me about luca , going on about trust and getting all righteous with me about how he would never treat me the way that i deserved ? you were cheating on jack the entire time . you are world - class hypocrite , mom . jill : i know that you 're hurting . i know you did n't mean that as a threat . jack : did you really think i was just gon na roll over , that i would n't hold you accountable ? jill : oh , accountable for what ? for trying not to hurt you ? and i will not apologize for wanting billy back with the mother of his children . no , victoria 's the only woman that 's ever mattered to him . jack : implying what ? that -- that phyllis meant nothing to him ? knowing that she meant everything to me , my brother was having casual sex with my wife ? jill : i do n't know what lies they told each other or themselves . all i know is that i was trying to get phyllis to come to her senses . jack : oh , yes . i know . by blackmailing her . jill : it was not blackmail , jack . it was a ploy . i knew that she needed distance , she needed time away from him so she could -- jack : did it ever occur to you -- did it ever cross your mind that what she needed was me ? ! you see someone dying on a road , you ... jill : oh , jack . jack : my marriage was dying ! you knew that ! you did n't so much as pick up a phone ! instead you threatened my wife , scaring her more , hurting her more ! jill : i was trying to drive her back into your arms , and it was working , was n't it ? ! my instincts were right ! she was committed to your relationship ! jack : only it did n't work . she went back to billy , did n't she ? you knew that . jill : i ... jack : at adam 's memorial service , billy and phyllis showed up late . and you were furious at them 'cause you knew when you saw them that they 'd just been together , did n't you ? ! jill : i wanted to tell you then ! jack : you listened to me defend them . you stood by while i said how glad i was they could be open and honest with each other ! you did n't say a word to me ! you let me go on living a lie ! jill : jack , jack ! i am not the one who broke your heart . jack : you were wrong about something earlier . jill : what 's that ? jack : when i threatened you , i meant every word of it . jill : [ sobs ] billy : you 're trying to change the rules , victoria . victoria : no , i am just trying to tell you that today is not a good day . billy : the language that you had michael put into our custody agreement clearly stated that we do not get involved in each other 's personal lives . victoria : i 'm not telling you who you can and ca n't sleep with . i could care less , actually ! billy : but you are using the kids as punishment . victoria : to protect them ! your selfish actions have affected everyone , not to mention your complete disregard for your brother and lack of judgment ! billy : i am their father . you do not get to change the rules on this . now , i 'm going to get the kids . victoria : if you take them out of this house and thrust them into that media circus out there , the press is hounding you ! i do not want my children subjected to that ! i doubt that 's what you want either ! billy : do you really want to play who 's the better parent here ? victoria : oh , stop twisting this around ! billy : come on , you did n't even know who katie 's father was , and now i 'm sure the kids are confused with the revolving door of men you got coming in and out of here . victoria : oh , that 's real nice . travis : that 's enough . you need to turn around and walk out the door . now . victoria : billy , no . stop . billy : you do n't get to talk about my kids , travis . travis : this is what you want your kids to find down here ? you fighting with their mother ? you 're in the middle of a mess you created . do n't make it worse . billy : okay , who are you to even open your mouth right now ? travis : i 'm stating the obvious , billy . things are going off the rails here . i suggest you leave , you cool off , and you deal with whatever it is you have to deal with . the kids are safe here with their mother . billy : this is n't over . [ door opens ] victoria : [ sighs ] travis : you all right ? victoria : you know , you did n't have to do that . i can take care of myself . so , was n't your daughter the result of an extramarital affair with phyllis abbott ? nick : do not bring my daughter into this . but you see the pattern , right ? nick : who the hell are you ? i mean , why do you get to decide what 's appropriate or not ? you hide out in bushes . you shoot your camera into people 's bedrooms . and you , you come at us like you 're predators with cameras . you 're bullies . you claim your viewers have the right to know what 's going on while you stomp all over our rights and our privacy . cane : shut this down , please . thank you . come on . devon : hey , no , no , no , no . do n't even think about it . lily : you 're on private property . you need to leave . if you do n't go right now , i 'm gon na call the police . cane : calm down , man . just let it go . do n't let them get to you . nick : i know . i 'm fine . i 'm fine . i know they 're not coming after me , but this is just starting for jack and phyllis and billy . we all have kids . phyllis : i know that you and jack are close and you hate the thought of him being -- summer : humiliated ? betrayed ? phyllis : that is not what i wanted to have happen . summer : then why did you do it , mom ? you 're so sorry about what happened to jack . you act like you did n't see it coming , but you -- you got into bed with his brother . you knew who you were choosing . phyllis : it just happened . summer : oh , it `` just happened . `` phyllis : it just happened . it did . and i was struggling with the whole marco thing . i was upset and i was angry . summer : then you should have gotten help and worked through it with your husband . phyllis : i tried . summer : for how long ? phyllis : what are you talking about ? i do n't -- i do n't understand . summer : for how long did you try ? until the first time that you were alone with billy ? till the first time that you kissed billy ? until the first time that you and billy -- phyllis : that is enough . you are my daughter . you do n't get to talk to me that way . summer : and you do n't get to talk to me like i 'm an idiot . you did n't try . you just did what you wanted . phyllis : please . please do n't leave like this . come on . i 'm sorry . i am so sorry . summer : you know , mom , i thought that you had changed . i did n't think that you were this person anymore . but here you are all these years later still doing the same thing to jack . he 's too good for you . you do n't deserve him . nick : phyllis . phyllis : no . [ voice breaking ] the hell of it is , nick ... she 's right . lily : okay , you 're trespassing , so the police are on their way . there is really no need to bring the police in . lily : actually , there is , 'cause i asked you to leave and you are still here . this is a huge story . if i did n't cover it , i 'd be bad at my job , and i 'm -- i 'm not bad at my job . lily : yeah , i 'm good at my job , too , which is why you have to leave 'cause i have to protect my guests . that 's a lot to protect . lily : what is that supposed to mean ? you would n't want a story about you and your family out there for the masses , would you ? lily : are you -- are you threatening me ? are you telling me that if i do n't let you stay here and harass my guests and my friends , you 're gon na air my dirty laundry on your disgusting tv show ? is that what you 're saying ? it 's not a threat . i just love a good story . see you next time , though . cane : [ sighs ] jack : i owe you an apology , neil . neil : jack , if you think that 's why i asked you here -- jack : i aired my wife 's infidelity during our press conference on live television . without question , i did permanent damage to this foundation . neil : jack , let me say s -- jack : listen , i have no excuses . there are no excuses . but i want to set things right . i will take any recommendation you have on how to handle this up to and including my stepping down . neil : okay . i appreciate that . now can i talk ? come on . take a seat for a minute right here . now , as far as damage control goes , i like that . that 's a good sign . jack : about what ? neil : that you 're in a better place than i was when i went through this . yeah , you remember ? my spouse cheated on me with a family member . jack : you know , neil , i 'd rather not get into this . i 'm here about the foundation . neil : yeah , and i 'm here to help a friend . jack , you 're angry . i get that . but that pain , that upset , that physical upset that you 're feeling in the pit of your stomach , am i right ? and all the other feelings that i 've experienced , as well . fury . anger . jealousy . and the most important one of them all . revenge . the need for revenge . so i 'm gon na need you to slow down for a minute and ask yourself this question . will it be worth it ? phyllis : go ahead , nick . take your shot . i 've had my head handed to me by my daughter , by my husband . i 'd say it 's your turn . nick : no . who am i to judge ? i mean , uh , as a member of the press just reminded me . phyllis : nick , i 've dragged you into this , too . they 're gon na bring up our affair . nick : too late . [ chuckles ] phyllis : i 'm sorry . nick : oh , hey , do n't apologize . i 'm sorry that you 're going through this . phyllis : i 'm the adulteress . nobody 's crying for me . at least you had an excuse when we cheated . nick : yeah , cassie had just died and i was spinning out of control . phyllis : where i was an evil , covetous , selfish woman when we hooked up . nick : may have been some of that , but i think mostly you were just exactly what i needed you to be . phyllis : i 'm not comparing what i 'm going through to you losing cassie . i 'm not doing that . nick : phyllis , phyllis , it 's not a competition . hurt is hurt . phyllis : you know , after i realized the man i was living with ... sleeping with that looked just like my husband , i ... i thought i should just move on , you know . i thought , hey , i can -- i can -- i can do that . but i felt like i was getting sort of untethered from everything . nick : and billy was there . phyllis : he was the only solid thing i could hang on to . and he helped . he helped me realize i was n't crazy and what 's most important that i needed to reclaim my life and myself . and i know it sounds absolutely crazy , but i think he gave me the strength to want to work things out with jack . i know what people are saying . they 're saying that i jump from man to man . i 'd say the same thing . but it was n't like that . i love jack , and he does n't deserve any of this . nick : then tell him that . phyllis , do not give up on your marriage . travis : i was just trying to keep things from escalating between you two , okay ? victoria : you acted like he was threatening me , and he was n't . travis : i believe that . victoria : you do ? then why did you interfere ? why did n't you just let me handle it ? [ sighs ] travis : because your voice was starting to carry up the stairs , and i did n't want to wake up the kids , okay ? i agree with you . i think it would be traumatic for him to take the kids with this whole media circus going on right now . victoria : [ sighs ] all right . i misunderstood . travis : look , i probably came across more harsh than i intended . it 's just ... that guy rubs me the wrong way , you know ? why 's he got to be so smug all the time ? call me bartender ? did n't he tend bar for a while ? victoria : yeah , he did . good memory . travis : so how is that an insult ? look , i have no doubt you could have handled yourself . i was just ... i was trying to support you . clumsily . victoria : okay , look , you get an e for effort . i just -- i just want to handle this in the most calm way possible , you know ? travis : yeah , i get it . he 's still their father . victoria : yeah . i believe that keeping billy away from the kids right now is the best thing , but i just -- i do n't know . i worry about him . i worry about how he 's gon na handle things and how this is all gon na end . [ cell phone rings ] victoria : [ sighs ] jill , how are you doing ? jill : i 'm irritated , and it 's giving me indigestion , wondering where my employees are . victoria : are you in the office ? jill : where else would i be , victoria ? now you get over here . there is work to be done . victoria : [ sighs ] lily : i just laid into security about letting those reporters through . if it happens again , i 'm gon na fire first and ask questions later . cane : whoa . have you met my sweet , charming wife before ? devon : [ chuckles ] [ cell phone rings ] cane : one sec . hey , jill . jill : ah ! you remember me . good . then you must also recall that you have a job . now get over here now or you will not have one . cane : her majesty beckons . lily : will you be home in time for dinner ? cane : judging from the way she sounds , i do n't think so , so i love you . lily : love you . cane : see you . lily : you know , as much as i hate those reporters circling like vultures , jack was the one who broadcasted his personal life . so if there 's anyone to blame ... devon : it 's not jack . phyllis : jack hates me . nick : look , he 's hurt and he 's angry . phyllis : he does n't want anything to do with me , nick . nick : he 's just reeling right now . he does n't know what he 's doing . phyllis : well , he refuses to see me . nick : well , you got to try . all right ? just go to jack and explain things to him exactly the way you explained them to me . phyllis : he 's not gon na listen to me . nick : look , he may yell at you . you may have to go through this 2 , 3 , i do n't know , 40 times maybe . but if you still truly love jack , then it 'll be worth it . phyllis : yeah . i do . thank you . nick : sure . neil : jack , i was right there where you are right now . totally consumed with all these dark thoughts . jack : it 's hard to stay sober when all you want to do is -- neil : hurt them ? jack : yeah . neil : yeah . that 's all that was going through my mind when i followed hilary and devon on their honeymoon . jack : oh , you did n't mean to hurt hilary . neil : yeah , but it 's everything that i set into motion . jack : yet i ca n't help how i 'm feeling . neil : you know , this is funny , because that 's exactly what i said to nikki when i started drinking again . you know what she said to me ? `` go to a meeting , neil . `` so i got in her car , i yanked that steering wheel , and i had a meeting , all right -- with christine . we hit her with the car , and she lost that baby . jack : i 'm not drinking , neil . i 'm not using . neil : not yet . and i hope not ever . i am telling you this as your partner in this foundation that we created , as your sponsor , but most importantly , as your friend . jack , look at me . if you walk out that sobered door , you know what 's gon na happen . you 're gon na feel temporary satisfaction , and then what are you gon na feel ? you 're gon na feel remorse and shame . try to remember how much you love those two people , despite the awful thing that they did to you . jack : thanks . i got to go . neil : jack . victoria : thank you so much for understanding this morning , for not running away from me and my messy life . travis : it 's gon na take a lot more than that to scare me off . victoria : you 're so sweet . travis : just get back to work . victoria : okay . bye . travis : see you later . hey , man . cane : hey . so , billy 's really made a mess this time , huh ? you seem to be doing okay with it . victoria : do n't pretend like you 're not thrilled . he makes you look good just by being himself . jill : get your cell phones out . we 're gon na coordinate our schedules . and just so you know , this commercial is crucial to the success of the company . we have to be sure that all the elements are in place for the shoot . billy : great . ready . raring to go . summer : what was so bad that you had to move out instead of staying and sorting things out with jack ? phyllis : it 's complicated . summer : okay , you realize i 'm not a kid anymore , right ? phyllis : [ scoffs ] no , you are definitely not a kid anymore . look , things have been strained between jack and me for a while , okay ? summer : okay , is it because of pass key ? because i know jack was against you and billy trying to buy it out from under grandpa . phyllis : it was more than that . it had a lot to do with victor . summer : okay , and jack wanted you to drop it . phyllis : yeah . honey , look , i know that you love your grandfather and you are gon na support him at that hearing . but i can not forget what happened . that is too much to expect from me . summer : okay , so then tell jack that . phyllis : i did . and he seems to understand , which makes this all very difficult because if he was being insensitive or intolerant , that would be one thing . but he is not . he is being good , true , and wonderful jack . summer : okay , so what 's wrong with that ? phyllis : nothing . but , you know , even when two people love each other , sometimes it is n't enough . not if they want different things . nick : i 've always liked it out here . it 's a great place to think . you know , i know it 's hard . the day comes when you realize your parents , the ones who raised you , who taught you pretty much everything you know , who you turn to for guidance , when you realize they 're people , too . you know , they get angry and confused just like you . they make ... they make mistakes , too . summer : okay , i 'm not faith . i - i learned that a long time ago . nick : yeah ? see , i guess i thought you forgot since you were so hard on your mom back there . summer : you thought i was hard on her ? i thought i took it easy . i thought that she deserved a lot more than i gave her . nick : look , you do n't have to agree with what your mom did . summer : no , i do n't agree with what she did . nobody does . how could they ? nick : okay , just listen to me and let me finish , okay ? it 's not gon na do you any good for you to snap at me . summer : okay , i 'm sorry . i just ... i have a lot running through my mind right now , and sometimes it just comes spilling out , okay ? nick : i get that . this situation , everyone who 's involved , there 's a lot of emotion going around . people are gon na say things that they 're gon na regret . it 's just gon na make things worse . and that 's why i wanted to come out here and try and help you , talk to you like an adult . summer : okay . talk . nick : no one agrees with what your mom did . not even your mom . but she needs you , summer . she does n't have anyone on her side right now . summer : okay , well , then maybe she should have thought about that before she jumped into bed with billy . nick : situations like this , they 're not always black and white . and if you were the adult you claim to be , you would understand that . see , children , they see life like it 's a comic book . there 's always got to be a good guy and a bad guy . life is n't like that at all . summer : okay , so you 're saying that there was no good guy or bad guy in this situation , that there 's nobody to blame ? nick : blame , i -- [ sighs ] look , i do n't know , summer . i just know that your mom needs your support right now . summer : jack needs my support . nick : i know how close you are with jack . he 's a great guy , and you have every reason to be worried about him , but your mom was hurt , too . summer : mom set all of this in motion . she did n't just hurt jack . she destroyed him . i do n't even know why i 'm trying to explain any of this to you . you cheated with mom , too . lily : then get security personnel in here ! i want those reporters out ! please tell me why i should n't be more furious with jack . devon : well , 'cause put yourself in his shoes for a second . after finding out something like this , he 's probably reliving every conversation he 's had with billy and phyllis over the last few months trying to find any clues that he can . and every moment , even if it had nothing to do with the affair , is just a reminder to him of being betrayed by the people who he loves and trusts more than anybody in the world . lily : you 're just thinking about how dad must have felt after you and hilary . devon : no , i 'm just trying to get you to have some sympathy for jack . lily : i do , but i 'm thinking about dad , too . he worked really hard to turn his life around to establish a foundation that does so much good . and in one interview , jack jeopardized all of that . devon : not intentionally , though . lily : it proves that he 's out of control . devon : lily . lily : no , you said it yourself . he should take a leave of absence . neil : i 'm hoping that that 's not gon na be necessary . phyllis : i was hoping we could talk . you did n't storm out , so that 's a good sign . i love you . and i hurt you . and i know what people are saying , and i do n't care . what i care about is what you think . it ... this did not happen because of sex or boredom or because you 're not enough . i need you to understand why it happened , jack . whether you forgive me or not , i need my husband to understand why . billy : what ? oh , i 'm sorry . phones out . right . we 're here to discuss the commercial . let 's do it . cane : what are you doing here ? jill : he works here , cane . focus on the job . billy : that 's right , cane . why do n't you save some of that brainpower ? let 's start discussing . jill : now , as i was saying , about the campaign , billy , i want you and victoria to get together and -- billy : that 's good . i have some good ideas . victoria : oh , yeah , we know all about your ideas . scantily clad women , preferably plied with tequila ? billy : yeah , that one was n't strong , but most great ideas start as a bad one , so , uh , let 's brainstorm . cane : well , at least there 's nowhere to go but up . jill : could we please remember that we 're working as a team here ? so let 's stick to business , okay ? as i was saying -- victoria : no , you know what ? i ca n't do this . i can not work with billy . jill : well , my dear , you do n't get to decide that . billy : you know , mother , that 's fine . i do n't want to work with her , either . summer : did i just say one of those things i 'm gon na regret ? nick : you know what ? it is what it is . yes , your mother and i had an affair . but it 's an example of what i 'm trying to tell you . there was n't a good guy . there was n't a bad guy . it was just two people stuck in a -- in a confusing situation . summer : so is that what adults do when they 're confused ? they just have sex with each other ? nick : [ chuckles ] um ... i guess sometimes yes . summer : that does not sound very mature at all . nick : it 's not , summer . but here 's the thing . nobody ever wakes up and says , `` you know what ? today 's the day . today i 'm gon na go out there and i 'm gon na do something truly awful . i want to hurt and disappoint everyone who loves me . `` summer : i get that , but -- nick : no , i do n't think you do . look , i pray that you never get caught up in something like your mom 's going through right now , but it could happen . and if it does , i absolutely guarantee you you 're gon na have people on your side . summer : i 'm never gon na be in the situation that mom 's in , okay ? i 'm not gon na let that happen to myself . nick : you do n't know that . and you have every right to be angry at everyone -- your mom , me . i mean , lord knows i 've made my fair share of mistakes . but the one mistake that i 've made that i refuse to regret is my affair with your mother . summer : why ? you guys hurt so many people . nick : because we had you . our smart , talented , amazing , sometimes gigantic pain in our butt , but beautiful , rock star , special supergirl . how could i ever regret one of the greatest things that 's ever happened to me ? summer : the greatest thing . nick : like top 12 . devon : so you 're encouraged after talking to jack ? neil : yeah , somewhat . lily : well , did he take responsibility for the damage that he did to the foundation ? neil : he knows , lily . he knows . he even offered to step down . devon : but you did n't take him up on that offer , did you ? neil : no . you know what ? jack was mad . he has every right to be . maybe he heard me . maybe i managed to slow him down enough before he does something irreparable . phyllis : i was struggling with what victor did to us , and i knew that you did n't want me going to him . i was n't ready to forgive . jack : so let me get this straight . you doing this , you having an affair with my brother is my fault ? phyllis : no . [ sighs ] i am trying to explain this to you . jack : i was glad that you had billy . you were finally happy . relaxed . smiling . if i had any idea it was because you were sleeping with my brother ... phyllis : you make me happy , jack . jack : you know what bugs me the worst ? i told as many people as i could how happy i was that you had each other . boy , blind and stupid is a tough combination , is n't it ? phyllis : no . jack : all the while you 're laughing at me behind my back . phyllis : we were n't laughing at you ! jack : gullible jack , believing the best in everyone ! phyllis : you were n't gullible ! you are a good man ! you have stood by me ! you 're the best man i know ! [ papers thud ] jack : and what did i get for that ? phyllis : come on , baby . we 'll go to therapy together . we 'll talk it out . let 's go on a retreat . jack : you know what ? there is one thing you can do for me . phyllis : tell me . what is it ? what you want me to do ? jack : i want you out of my life . get out of my company and give me a divorce . [ next_on ] kevin : i think chloe 's hiding something . something huge . jill : letting billy stew in it would be a huge mistake , and it 's one you ca n't afford to make . billy : right now i 'm more worried about jack and phyllis . phyllis : do n't give up on us ! jack : why not ? you sure as hell did .Summarize.[/INST]the press drives phyllis and billy 's family crazy trying to get a comment about the affair . sumer confronts phyllis calling her a hypocrite who does n't deserve someone as good as jack . jack feels betrayed by jill who should have told him about the affair . jack warns jill that she will pay for not telling him the truth about the affair . jack tells neil he will resign from the foundation , but neil hopes that jack wo n't have to . neil tells jack to think about things and not let the thirst for revenge make him do something to hurt the people he loves . billy and victoria tell jill they ca n't work together anymore . nick tries to make summer understand that life is n't always black and white ; there are shades of gray . nick asks summer to be there for both jack and phyllis . phyllis wants to work on her marriage and continue marriage counseling , but jack wants her out of his life , so he asks phyllis for a divorce .</s> | 18,101 |

[ gasps ] ooh . how would you like hr or the spectator to find out about your steamy little affair with this underling , who happens to be an excon ? mm - hmm . this kind of scandal can destroy a company overnight , and i 'll tell you a little secret , stefan . if i go down , i 'm taking dimera with me . limu emu & doug kate : why do i need you , ted ? ted : for when xander comes back . if you want to survive this , we need to work together . put down this bottle . we need to plan our next move . please . eli : you know , it 's pretty convenient for you that kate 's not around to verify this recording . and you just happened to send her out of the country , where she ca n't be reached . xander : she 's a busy woman . and i 'm a busy man . so unless kate teleports back here from malaysia in the next 30 seconds , i 'll be on my way . eli : no , you 're not going anywhere . all right ? i have probable cause to detain you , and that 's what i 'm going to do . now , you can call a lawyer if you want , but i doubt they 'll be able to arraign you before i can get -- xander : i 'm not gon na call a lawyer . i demand to speak to the commissioner -- now . eve : what or who would make you think that i took claire 's phone ? i mean , based on what , hope ? hmm ? hope : based on you . you 're in the public eye , eve . we 're watching you . eve : is that a threat ? hope : no , just a heads - up . you 're using your position to cover up crimes and frame innocent people . you 'll be held accountable . eve : mm , you just keep on talking , hope . i 'll sue you for defamation so fast , your head will spin . and if you even think about interfering with one of my investigations -- maybe by using one of your buddies at the police department to keep tabs on me -- i 'm gon na do worse than that . i 'll bring you up on charges . [ tense music ] maggie : sarah , i -- i swear , i was n't looking for the liquor . i mean , i just , um -- i found it . sarah : you found it ? in your hand ? maggie : i was straightening up , and i came across a bottle that victor hid under the sofa . i ... i poured a glass , yes , but i did n't drink it . sarah : you know what ? victor agreed to get rid of all the alcohol in the house . maggie : well , do n't blame him . i mean , he 's suffering too . you know . what happened with claire -- i mean , it 's devastating for him . sarah : i get it . i get it . but you need his support . maggie : yes . yes , i do . but , you know , i ca n't expect the world to bend around me because i -- i ... [ exhales ] i need to be stronger . sarah : you are strong . and yeah , you went off on a little bit of a bender , but from what i 've seen after that , you -- you 've had it under control . maggie : well , it looks that way . but the truth is ... i 'm scared . i -- i -- i -- i was sober ... [ sobs ] for over 30 years . the days and -- and the weeks and the months ... went by , and ... when drinking never crossed my mind . and then since i 've slipped , i 'm tempted every day . [ crying ] it 's -- it 's like i 'm starting all over again . sarah : mom . we all see you trying to be brave . but if you are not getting the help that you need , then you have to say something . you can not be afraid to ask . maggie : [ cries ] i ... i think i do . [ crying ] gabi : do n't let nicole 's empty threats get to you , stefan . she 's just desperate . nicole : and she 's a whore . gabi : what did you just say ? nicole : okay , why do n't you listen to me , stefan . women like her are predators . her only mo is to get her hooks into a man like you so she can use him to advance her career -- only she does n't have the first clue how to run a company . quite frankly , neither of you do . stefan : excuse me ? so far , you have barely shown up for work . you 've been erratic , unreliable , and completely uncooperative . you even forgot to book this place for the party tonight . [ acoustic music ] nicole : i lost a child . forgive me for being a little overwhelmed . stefan : when you made your pitch to me for this job , nicole , i asked if you were ready to return to the workforce and you insisted that you were . nicole : i am . but are you at least willing to give me five minutes to get my bearings ? no . you 're not , and how well do you think that 's gon na play out to the public , huh ? your lack of compassion . stefan : nicole , i feel for you . i really do , and i appreciate that you 're wanting to take on so much responsibility . but you 're just not ready . nicole : you are so , so wrong . stefan : i 'm sorry . now , if you 'll please leave , gabi and i have a lot to do . nicole : i did not come back from the dead and pull myself from the depths of despair after losing a child to just give up without a fight . if you do this , stefan , i will sue you for wrongful termination . stefan : nicole , i have already explained to you : i have more than enough cause to let you go . you will not get a dime . you 're time at dimera is done , and my decision 's final . nicole : [ grunts ] gabi : [ shouts ] great news ! gabi : nicole , let go ! abe : hey , hey , hey , hey ! hey ! no ! what the hell is going on here ? gabi : nicole is freaking crazy -- that 's what 's going on ! nicole : there 's more than one way to destroy you , stefan dimera . you better watch your back . stefan : i think i 'm gon na be all right , and abe and gabi just saw you attack me . i 'm calling the police . nicole : [ scoffs ] ted : i would n't let anybody hurt you . i did care about you , and i still do . kate : those sound like the words of a man who just does n't want his throat slit . ted : kate . of course i do n't want to die . but also , i do n't want you to go to prison for my murder . look at me . let me live , and i will fight for you with everything i have . [ tense music ] eve : so what 's going on here , hmm ? xander : your detective is harassing me . from what i hear , he 's already in hot water , which means that you are too . if i decide to go public , show the world what 's been going on behind closed doors , well , that could make things much worse for you , could n't it ? eve : you know , i told you that this was my case . why are you interfering ? eli : just trying to see justice done . eve : well , i 'll deal with you later , okay ? get out ! [ sighs ] what the hell , xander ? making threats like that in front of one of my detectives ? xander : desperate times . eve : no . [ stammers ] listen . we made a deal : i would forget about the 911 call accusing you of killing ted laurent , and you would forget that you got rolf 's diary from me , and that was gon na be the end of it . xander : well , it was n't because your detective dragged me in here , and now i need you to get me out . eve : well , i 'm not gon na do it ... because i held up my end of the bargain , so you 're on your own , my man . xander : oh , and you will be as well -- the instant jack finds out that you lied to him . i bet he 'll set a new land - speed record running back to jennifer . eve : fine . okay . you win . get -- go -- you can leave . stay out of trouble . this is your last time . [ groans ] xander : i hope you 're polishing up your résumé , there , mate . you 're going to need it . maggie : the meetings have been wonderful . brady 's been wonderful , but ... sarah : do you need to go to rehab ? maggie : [ chuckles sadly ] mm - mm . i could n't l -- leave my family right now . i just could n't bear it . sarah : i know . but there might be another option . the hospital has this new program . it 's a short - term residential treatment followed by outpatient counseling . maggie : yeah , yeah . yeah , i 've heard something about it . mm , i just -- i do n't know . sarah : it would only be for a few days . will you think about it ? maggie : i will . sweetheart , i 'm so grateful to have you looking out for me . sarah : you 've looked out out for me my whole life . maggie : but not so much lately . oh . you know what ? i have n't been very nice to your new husband . sarah : no , you were just being protective . maggie : you 're a grown woman . you made your choice to marry rex , and i 've been nothing but judgmental ... while you have been totally accepting of me . [ inhales , exhales ] so i 'm gon na turn a page . i promise . i am going to change . sarah : thank you , mom . maggie : oh ... oh , thank you , my sweet , my talented daughter . how did i get so lucky ? abe : i -- look , i 'm not sure calling the police is such a good idea -- not with the relaunch . gabi : are you kidding ? you just saw what nicole did . she could 've killed stefan . we need to press charges . abe : can somebody please tell me what happened ? nicole : he fired me for no good reason . gabi : hmm . nicole : and i got ... angry . gabi : oh , `` angry `` ? no . try `` homicidal , `` okay ? we need to call the cops . they need to be here right now . stefan : okay , look , bottom line : regardless of whether we press charges or not , nicole is unstable -- too unstable to run basic black . so i had to let her go . nicole , i 'm not doing this to be cruel . i understand you must be devastated over the loss of holly , but it is simply too much for you to handle right now . abe : look , um ... nicole ... i know you want to rebuild your life , and -- and i respect that . i -- i -- i think we all do . but i do have to agree with stefan . it 's just too soon . nicole : are you blind , or just stupid ? this whole `` grieving mother `` thing is just an excuse for them to get rid of me , but gabi knows if i stay on , i 'll expose her for the talentless loser that she really is .

'cause you 're not the gabe bingham i used to know . sharon : courtney ... is dead ? that -- that ca n't be . dylan : avery was at the station when word came in . sharon : w - was she shot while she was on duty , or -- dylan : she was murdered at the abbott cabin , the same as -- sharon : austin . dylan : yeah . sharon : oh , my god . courtney . [ gasps ] poor noah . dylan : no , no , no . sharon , wait . sharon : i have to find noah . he 's going to need me . dylan : no , you ca n't leave until you tell me where you were today ? sharon : what difference does that make ? my son 's fiancée is dead ! dylan : yeah , she is , and people are gon na want answers about how she ended up that way . everybody who knew about austin 's murder considers you a suspect , and now one of them is dead . sharon : you think i killed courtney ? dylan : sharon , it does n't matter what i think . the police are involved . they 're gon na be asking questions , so just tell me . where were you the last few hours ? and please say you have something to back you up . sharon : like what ? dylan : like a witness , a receipt -- anything that proves that you were nowhere near that cabin . sharon : i do n't have anything that can prove where i was . dylan : [ sighs ] why not ? sharon : because i was alone , in the middle of nowhere . kevin : paul , um , i did n't expect to see you here . paul : when one of mine goes down , i 'm there . stitch : there was -- there was nothing i could do by the time we found her . paul : go ahead . noah : do n't touch her . summer : noah . noah : i mean it . do n't go near her . summer : noah , no , you -- noah : no . summer : you have to let them do their job . paul : come on , son . summer : courtney would want you to . noah : no , i do n't want to leave her . summer : noah , you have to , okay ? come here . it 's okay . come here . paul : okay . call the coroner . and secure the area . and get ahold of csi and tell them to get somebody up here right away . okay . does anybody want to tell me what the hell happened ? kevin : noah got a text message from courtney asking him to come here . mariah : and then we all got messages saying the same thing . paul : to meet her here at the cabin ? abby : yes , but when we got here ... stitch : there was no sign of courtney . summer : noah tried to call her cell phone , but my aunt avery answered instead . kevin : and before we could ask her what was going on ... abby found courtney in there . paul : okay . so , does anyone know how she got in there or who would do this to her ? mariah : no , none . kyle : what makes you think we would ? paul : because sloane 's cell phone was found in a trash can at the station near a computer ... the same computer i caught kevin trying to hack the other day . okay , people . i want answers , and i want them now . kevin : chief , i do n't have any answ -- paul : do n't screw with me , kevin . i want to know why someone would want to kill officer sloane . noah : because she was trying to find the killer . paul : what killer ? summer : the one who murdered austin . paul : what ? paul : all right , somebody better start talking . summer : austin 's death was n't an accident . he was murdered . kevin : here . uh , at least that 's where we found him . paul : how do you know he was murdered ? mariah : we all came up here for abby 's valentine 's day party , and we started this stupid drinking game . summer : someone spiked the punch . mariah : someone named fen . abby : and we passed out . and when we woke up , austin was ... was dead . kyle : stuffed in the armoire , just like courtney . kevin : we panicked , and , um ... paul : and what ? kevin : we -- we moved his body outside , and we made it look like he slipped and fell . mariah : and then fen went outside to -- kyle : to get some air . austin 's body was gone . kevin : you found it the next day in a car , and we got a message from the killer . summer : yeah , written in lipstick on the mirror , it said , `` i know what happened here . `` kyle : we agreed that it was best not to tell anyone that -- paul : best ? really ? best ? it was stupid . it 's stupid and illegal . summer : we were scared . paul : okay . so , you decided to cover up a murder , all of you ... officer sloane included . summer : no , she did n't want to . we convinced her that it was best if we stick together . abby : which we did , until we started getting all the threats and messages . paul : so your mugging in the park is -- stitch : that 's how i got involved -- to protect abby . kyle : we did n't know who to trust or who would be next . paul : if you had trusted me , courtney might still be alive ! noah : do n't you think that we know that ? paul : this is what happens when you take the law into your own hands ! noah : we get it . we screwed up , and it cost courtney her life . now , can we shift focus here and find the bastard who did this ? sharon : i need to be with my son . dylan : you need to tell me where you went after you left avery 's . you said you were going to noah 's wedding , but you did n't make it to the park , did you ? sharon : i was planning to . but then i remembered something that happened the night i was driving around in the snowstorm . dylan : you already told me that you had a panic attack , you pulled over , and you saw a car coming from the direction of the cabin , right ? sharon : but what i did n't remember until today was the driver threw something out of his window as he drove past me . dylan : and what ? you went back to look for it ? sharon : well , i was hoping it would lead us to the killer ! dylan : but you did n't find it . sharon : no . i looked everywhere . there was no sign of it . you do n't believe me ? ! dylan : i do n't know what to think ! you drove back to the cabin at the exact time that courtney was murdered , looking for something that might be linked to austin 's murder ! sharon : yeah , and i was trying to clear myself ! dylan : yeah , but do you realize how bad this looks ? sharon : i know this looks bad . but i did n't kill austin , or courtney . please say you believe me . sage : i know you 're not gon na believe me . this is n't the type of thing that anyone would ever expect to hear . but you have to believe me . what i 'm telling you is the truth . chelsea : then just say it . sage : gabriel -- [ doorbell rings ] chelsea : oh , for god 's sake . sage : it 's all right . i 've waited a long time to tell you this . a few minutes is n't gon na make a difference . are n't you gon na open it ? wow . those are beautiful . [ chuckles ] wonder who they 're from . chelsea : probably billy . sage : or not . chelsea : it 's not signed . sage : well , that 's something secret admirers do , not fiancés . chelsea : an unsigned card does n't prove anything . sage : this is so obvious . how can you not see this ? chelsea : what is it , sage ? what are you trying to tell me about gabe ? sage : you know what ? if you want to know the truth about gabriel , you can ask him . you can start by asking if he knew your dead husband . [ door shuts ] adam : everybody changes . that 's just the way it is . are you the same guy that you used to be , huh -- spoiled , little , rich playboy , the kind of guy that would charm a girl into doing just about anything ? nick : well , at least i remember my past . you do n't seem to remember anything about yours -- well , except for this hatred for the newman family , which , frankly , i do n't recall at all . adam : well , i 've done a lot of research since then , so ... [ cell phone rings ] nick : hey , supergirl . did you find the bride ? summer : [ voice breaking ] dad , um ... s - something 's happened . nick : what 's going on ? summer : courtney , um , s - she 's ... nick : she 's what ? summer : she 's dead ... murdered . nick : um ... okay , uh , where are you ? where 's noah ? summer : we 're -- we 're at the abbott cabin , and paul 's here . he 's gon na take us back to the station right now . nick : okay . i 'll meet you there . i got to go . this is n't finished . adam : you know where to find me . kyle : you okay ? summer : i 'm just worried about noah . kyle : you 'll be there for him . and if you need somebody to lean on , you 've got me , okay ? paul : all right . i want you all to follow me in your own cars back to the station . no detours . understood . summer : hey , do you want to ride with kyle and me ? noah : no , i - i ca n't leave her . paul : hey , you 've got to leave her . noah : no . no , she needs me . stitch : noah , there 's nothing you can do for her , man . noah : no , i have to make sure that she 's okay , s - so ... i ha -- [ sobbing ] paul : all right . you stay with courtney until they have to take her , okay ? noah : [ crying ] paul : and then officer hollister will give you a lift to the station . all right . i will see you all there . noah : [ sobbing ] dylan : [ sighs ] sharon : i need you to be on my side . dylan : i am . but there 's a lot of circumstantial evidence that points to you . sharon : well , if you find whatever it is that the driver threw out of his window that night , that evidence will point to someone else . and it 's out there . it has to be ! dylan : you 're asking me to find a needle in a haystack , and the needle might not even exist ! sharon : it does . if you do n't want to go look for it , i will , after i see my son . dylan : okay , hold on . even if you find this mystery item , how do you explain the message on the machine ? sharon : you did listen to it . dylan : no , i was here when the call came in . sharon : okay , who was it ? dylan : it was rob from the auto body shop . he said he 's gon na stop by to look at the -- the damage from the accident you had in the woods . i thought you already had that damage repaired from the night of the storm . sharon : i did . rob must be confused . dylan : no , he did n't sound confused . but maybe you were . are you sure it was the panic attack that made you skid off the road the night austin was murdered . sharon : yes , i 'm sure . dylan : okay , so it 's not possible that you lost control of your car because you were shaken up by something that happened at the cabin ? and then the same thing happened today . sharon : i thought you were on my side . dylan : i am on your side . but you need to be honest with me . sharon : i am . i have been . and i 'm not gon na stand here wasting more time trying to convince you of that ! i 'm going to see my son ! summer : i ca n't believe this is happening . courtney was my best friend . i was supposed to be at her wedding right now . paul : i know how difficult this is for you ... especially after just losing austin . summer : it 's all so unreal . paul : i know it must seem that way . your husband was having an affair with your aunt . that had to make you furious . summer : i - i - i did n't find out about a - austin and abby until after austin was dead . paul : you must 've suspected something . summer : i did n't suspect anything . and i did n't kill austin , if that 's what you 're implying . paul : you helped cover up his murder , did n't you ? summer : yes . paul : why ? summer , tell me why . summer : because when austin first wound up dead , i ... i thought maybe i did kill him , but i did n't . i could n't have killed him . paul : because you do n't think you 're capable of murder ? summer : because i loved him , in spite of everything . kevin : we were trying to protect summer . that 's how the cover - up started . she remembered having the bloody bookend in her hand , but we knew there was no way she could 've killed austin . paul : so you concealed evidence , even though you work for the department ? kevin : well , we were trying to protect ourselves , too . we were getting threats right away . paul : like this . kevin : yeah . we were wondering who was sending the messages , right ? so i go onto austin 's computer , looking for clues , and i find this video of him following jack through chancellor park , but the end of it is missing . that 's why i hacked into the gcpd computers . i was looking for the surveillance footage from the security cameras in the park . paul : okay , kevin . so , why the hell would austin follow jack abbott ? kevin : we were wondering the same thing . after you suspended me , courtney picked up where i left off . and i think she must 've discovered something , so if you pull up the surveillance -- paul : i ca n't . a virus corrupted our entire computer system . it 's down . happen to know anything about that ? kevin : no . paul : so even if there was something incriminating , it 's gone now . kevin : well , look . whoever 's doing this is really covering up their tracks . i can help you recover the data . paul : did you find anything else on travers ' computer ? oh , damn it . answer my question ! kevin : he was making a documentary . paul : a documentary . about what ? kevin : the newmans and the abbotts . he was planning on exposing all their dirty secrets we think he dug up something that somebody did n't want revealed . and when courtney called us up to the cabin , we thought she 'd discovered what it was . abby : it was n't just a simple mugging . the killer was warning me to back off . paul : and how do you know that ? abby : there was a message on my phone . it was written in lipstick . it said , `` shut up , or you 're next . `` stitch : and another one at victoria 's house . that 's why abby went to the club , and i went with her . we thought it was safer for victoria and the kids , and abby . paul : so , did it ever occur to you , you might want to go to the police with this ? stitch : yeah , like you were gon na believe me , the guy who lied about killing his dad ? nick : hey , i 'm looking for noah newman . excuse me . hey , can you answer some questions i -- really ? paul ? ! paul ? wha -- sage : nick ... i just heard the news . i do n't know what to say or do . i just ... i 'm so sorry . i want to be here for you . nick : i 'm glad you came . adam : oh , good . you got the roses . chelsea : i got them . adam : good . i , uh -- i just wanted to say thank you for letting me drop all of my problems with sage into your lap like that . it 's nice . chelsea : that 's why you sent them ? adam : yeah . call me crazy , but i 'm still sort of holding out hope that sage and i can have a meaningful relationship one day -- you know , like what you had with adam . chelsea : you 're good . adam : thank you . what ? [ chuckles ] chelsea : you always know the right things to say , the right gifts to give , the right moves to make . i mean , you even risked your own life to save my son . adam : sure . uh , a - are you upset with me for some reason ? chelsea : i am onto you . i know all about your little plan . adam : my little plan ? chelsea : to get close to me . i - i ca n't believe i did n't see it before . i mean , the job at jabot ... buying the apartment across the hall , running out of gas , leaving us stranded in the middle of nowhere -- i mean , i am just so off my game . i ca n't believe i did n't see the red flags . adam : sage put this idea in your head , did n't she ? chelsea : are you denying it 's true ? adam : [ clears throat ] chelsea , ca n't you see what she 's doing , here ? chelsea : she 's trying to make me open my eyes . adam : no , she is spreading lies about me to cover up her own infidelity . that 's what she 's doing . chelsea : you did n't pay off our contractor to delay the repairs in our penthouses ? adam : chelsea , who you gon na believe ? you gon na believe a liar like sage , or you gon na believe me ? chelsea : that depends . are you gon na deny you knew my dead husband ? adam : you 're right , chelsea . i - i owe you an explanation . i owe you the truth . chelsea : and ... ? adam : the truth is that i - i do want a meaningful relationship with the woman that i love . i want that more than anything . and sage seems to be doing everything she can to make sure that does n't happen . for her and in her mind , it 's all about the money . and -- and , honestly , for me , at first , it was , too . and then i came here to genoa city , and i ... i looked over , and i saw you sitting right over there . do you remember that ? you were waiting for someone ? chelsea : yes , billy , my fiancé . adam : i did n't know that at the time . and then i saw you again at the park . you were with connor . that 's when i knew . chelsea : knew what ? adam : chelsea , it was you . it was you the whole time . you were the woman that i 'd been waiting for , i 'd been searching for my entire life . it had to be you . and i watched you walk away that day , and -- then i knew that i had to do whatever it took to get you , to be with you . chelsea : [ sighs ] i - i was taken . adam : yeah , you were . you were taken , but not by billy abbott . you were taken ... because you were still in love with your husband . and so i ... i did . i - i found out everything i could about adam newman -- what he did , how he lived his life , what he liked , what he did n't like , his strengths , his weaknesses . everything about him . i wanted to know what it was about this guy that made you love him so much , through everything , no matter what . they wrote him off , chelsea . you did n't . and i wanted that . i wanted to be that man , the kind of man that you could never stop loving , no matter what , to the end , through death , even after . so you stand there , and you ask me if i knew your ex - husband . and the truth is ... chelsea , i know him as much as i know myself . chelsea : but you ... never met him ? adam : i see him every time i look in your eyes . sage : where 's noah ? nick : i do n't know . nobody will tell me anything . sage : well , i 'm gon na wait here with you . you should n't go through this alone . sharon : he 's not alone . nick : hey , sharon . who told you ? sharon : not you . nick : i just found out myself . sage : i 'm so sorry , sharon , for your family , for noah . sharon : you do n't even know our son . nick : sharon , i know you 're upset , but there 's no reason to get upset at sage . sharon : she should n't even be here ! this is a family matter . nick : let 's just focus on noah and hope the police find out who killed courtney . sharon : why 'd you look at me when you said that ? nick : we need to help noah get through this . and part of that is finding out who murdered his fiancée . paul : so , you came back into town to tell summer that travers was cheating on her . kyle : well , she figured it out on her own , but yeah . that 's why i was on my way to the cabin that night . paul : so , i take it you did n't like austin very much . kyle : no . [ clears throat ] and i told him exactly what i thought about him . and then , to make sure he got the message , i tried to break that perfect , little nose of his . paul : so i 'm guessing you did n't lose much sleep when you found out that he was killed and stuffed in an armoire ? kyle : not a minute . paul : mm . kyle : but i did n't kill him . paul : do you know who did ? kyle : should n't you be figuring that out ? paul : do n't worry about that . i will . so , if you have any information that can lead us to the killer , i suggest you tell me what it is right now ... like what was travers doing following your dad in the park ? kyle : if you 're looking for clues , check travers ' laptop . if you 're looking for a motive , check out the woman who gave austin all the dirt he was looking for on the newmans , and then regretted it . mariah : i am not surprised that kyle said that about sharon . paul : well , you ca n't deny she has a strong motive . mariah : if sharon killed austin to keep his exposé from going public , then she killed courtney for the same reason . paul : do you think she did ? mariah : i know sharon . she 's not capable of killing two people . paul : but one 's a possibility ? mariah : no . that 's not what i meant . paul : how can you be so sure ? mariah : i was raised by lowlifes . i know the type of people who would kill to silence somebody . it 's not sharon . paul : all right . so , tell me -- who 's at the top of your list ? mariah : well , the mustache and his son had more to lose than sharon if the story she told austin became public . sharon : noah ? oh , gosh . i 'm so sorry . is there anything we can do ? nick : hey , bud . come here . i 'm so sorry . i 'm so sorry . paul : noah , i need to ask you some questions . sharon : not now , paul . paul : this ca n't wait . sharon : well , it 's gon na have to . i 'm taking my son home . nick : sharon 's right . he 's in no condition to answer any questions right now . paul : he does n't have a choice . nick : the hell he does n't ! we 're going home . sharon : no , i 'm taking him . noah : stop , both of you . i can speak for myself . what do you want to know ? sharon : if you find whatever it is that the driver threw out of his window that night , that evidence will point to someone else . and it 's out there . it has to be ! dylan : you 're asking me to find a needle in a haystack , and the needle may not even exist ! paul : so , everyone i talked to today said that austin 's documentary was most likely the biggest motive for the two murders . noah : well , that makes a lot of suspects . paul : but i can imagine your dad is pretty worried about what sharon said in her interview . noah : well , my dad was buried under a pile of rubble when austin was murdered . paul : right . and you are convinced your mother 's innocent ? noah : yes . paul : okay , so that leaves the group of people who knew from the beginning that austin 's death was not an accident , unless there 's somebody else you can think of . noah : as a matter of fact , there is . your son . paul : dylan ? noah : mm - hmm . paul : what does this have to do with him ? noah : he knew all about this , made us tell him the truth . paul : dylan knows that austin was murdered ? noah : that 's right . yeah . and instead of going to you with it , he told us to stop investigating austin 's death , that he 'd get to the bottom of it . sage : nick -- sharon : he stepped out . but when noah 's finished here , we 're both taking our son home , together . sage : sharon , i 'm very sorry for you and your family . sharon : but you 're not sorry about the opportunity this is giving you to comfort nick . sage : i should go . nick : no , no . do n't go . if you want to stay , then i want you here . stitch : there 's no sense in beating ourselves up over what we did or did n't do . the police are in charge now . they 're gon na find the killer . paul : which we might 've done by now if you all had n't interfered . kyle : does this mean you 're gon na charge us with something ? paul : no , you 're free to go . kyle : because you ca n't legally hold us . paul : no , i can hold you . i can arrest you . the only reason i 'm letting you go is because i do n't want the killer to know that the gcpd is treating this as a murder . if the murderer thinks that we believe that austin 's death was accidental , that gives us the upper hand on both murders . stitch : so , otherwise , keep our mouths shut . paul : yeah . you 'll make it look like you 're still covering up austin 's murder . and whatever you do , do n't mention it 's connected to courtney 's . otherwise -- stitch : otherwise , one of us could be next . chelsea : did you ever just think about being honest and -- and ... telling me the truth , that you have feelings for me ? adam : of course i did . chelsea , i thought about that constantly . i -- i did n't think you were ready to hear it . chelsea : i 'm still not ready to hear it , gabriel . adam : okay . chelsea : i 'm furious at you . you -- you made me question my feelings for billy , all under the guise of concern , when really , it was just part of your master plan to get close to me . adam : no , i did n't make you question anything . the truth is ... the doubt was already there , was n't it ? chelsea : i love billy . adam : yeah , that 's fine . but not as much as you love your husband , and not as much as you could love me . chelsea : stop , okay ? stop saying these things . adam : why stop ? it 's the truth , is n't it ? i ca n't deny what it feels like to be trapped in a relationship with the wrong person . and you know what ? i do n't think you can , either . chelsea : just stay away from me . adam : chelsea -- chelsea : stay away from me . stitch : hey , chels . wow , looks like we 're not the only ones having a bad day . abby : he could be here . he could be sitting at the bar , enjoying dinner . he could be a she . we do n't know anything about the killer , but he knows everything about us -- what we do , where we go stitch : look , why do n't we -- why do n't we -- why do n't we head upstairs ? we 'll get something to eat , some wine , relax . abby : `` relax . `` you expect me to relax when there 's someone out there who 's already killed twice , who 's just waiting to strike again ? stitch : i told you , i 'm not gon na let anyone hurt you . abby : noah thought he could protect courtney . stitch : you know , when i ... when i saw her in that armoire , all i could ... all i could think about was you getting attacked in the park . i 'm just -- i 'm just glad you 're okay . [ chuckles ] paul : i 'll tell your family you 're ready to go . summer : hey , um , i can come home with you if you want . noah : no , i 'm fine . i 'm fine . i - i 'm okay . summer : call me if you need anything , okay ? noah : take care of her , okay ? summer : i love you . kyle : i will . yeah . kevin : you 've got my number . mariah : i , um ... i do n't do sympathy well , but i ... noah : i know . [ sobbing ] [ cell phone rings ] dylan : yeah , paul , w - what -- what 's up ? paul : i need you to come down to the station right away . dylan : uh , w - what 's this about ? paul : i think you know . dylan : no , i do n't . paul : really ? i have reason to believe you have information on austin travers ' murder . [ next_on ] noah : please tell me that you did n't have anything to do with courtney 's death . paul : let me give you a piece of free advice . back off . ashley : what abbott secret am i hiding ? jack : the one about your not truly being an abbott . | the police arrive at the abbott cabin and paul finds out the truth about the murders . he interviews each person involved . noah tells him that dylan also knows the truth . dylan questions sharon about her whereabouts after the wedding was postponed , but sharon just wants to get to noah and has no answer for him . at the police station , sage arrives to support nick . when sharon gets there , she is annoyed that sage is there . eventually , everyone is allowed to go home , because paul does n't want the killer to know that gcpd is treating this as a homicide . sage tells chelsea that gabe has orchestrated every move they 've made to get closer to chelsea . at first , chelsea refuses to see it . later , she confronts gabe , who admits he has feelings for her . | <s>[INST] dylan : sharon , i asked you a question . where were you earlier ? you said you were going to noah 's wedding . sharon : i told you . that was postponed . dylan : so where did you go instead ? what did you do ? who were you with ? sharon : why are you asking me all these questions ? does this have to do with the phone call from avery ? what did she say ? or is this because of the message on my phone . dylan : can you just please tell me where you were ? sharon : fine . you know what ? i 'm gon na listen to it myself if you wo n't tell me . dylan : sharon , do n't you get it ? the call from avery , the message , you refusing to tell me where you 've been -- it could all connect you to the murder . sharon : i have nothing to do with austin 's murder . dylan : it 's not just austin 's . there 's been another killing . sharon : what ? who ? dylan : noah 's fiancée , courtney . noah : [ voice breaking ] i should 've listened to you . you said we should go to the police , and i should 've -- [ crying ] i should 've listened . [ sobbing ] mariah : `` duck and cover `` just got a whole lot harder . abby : i ca n't believe this . i mean , first austin , and now courtney ? she was supposed to get married today . why did she have to stop by the police station ? kevin : she was doing her job ... unfortunately , too well . stitch : what are you saying ? kevin : she got too close to the truth . kyle : you think she figured out who killed austin ? kevin : and the killer knew it . stitch : whoever it is sent those text messages from courtney 's phone , telling us to be here . they wanted us to find her . mariah : oh , my god . they 're trying to pin this on us . kevin : no , they 're trying to warn us . [ sirens wailing ] nick : how did we get from me defending sage to you attacking my family ? adam : i 'm sick of the newmans taking whatever it is that they want . take a guy 's wife , a woman 's child , a man 's business -- nick : a headmaster 's boat ? a grandmother 's estate ? adam : we 're talking about you right now . nick : now we 're talking about you . what the hell happened to the carefree guy i knew back in boarding school who only cared about ski trips and fast cars and going through his trust fund ? now you seem to have this issue with me and my wealthy family ? where the hell did that come from ? adam : got no problem with money . what i do have a problem with is your old man putting all his needs above anyone and anything else . to hell with the consequences . he does n't care , right ? nick : well , i 'm not gon na defend to you the way my father does business or chooses to live his life . adam : that 's good . you do n't have to , 'cause you do the exact same thing . he wants a free pass for all of his destructive behavior , and now you 're asking for a free pass for sleeping with my wife ? chelsea : you 're lying . sage : you know i 'm not . chelsea : gabe is my friend , mine and billy 's . he 's my neighbor . we work together . sage : and i told you he arranged all that -- the friendship , the job , the penthouse . he 's tried every trick in the book to make you fall for him . he 's pretending to be a jilted husband . chelsea : he would n't do that . sage : no ? he would n't pretend that his heart is broken so you 'd feel so bad , you 'd turn your back on your fiancé to help him through all the pain ? chelsea : no , he would n't . sage : well , then , why do n't you ask him ? ask him if i 'm telling the truth . unless you do n't want to know that answer . sage : admit it , chelsea . gabe 's been lying to you this whole time , and you know it . deep down , you know it . chelsea : you know , you really have some nerve , calling gabe a liar when you 're the one that has been sneaking around , having an affair with nick . sage : nick and i are not sneaking around . chelsea : oh , well , is that supposed to make it all okay ? sage : gabe and i came into this marriage with the same reasons and the same expectations . chelsea : right , and now he 's fallen in love with you . sage : oh , the gabe that you know has never been in love with me . chelsea : so , what are you saying -- that all he wants is the money ? sage : no , he wants you , more than me , more than the money , more than anything . chelsea : okay , is saying all this out loud -- does that make it easier for you to justify sleeping with nick ? sage : chelsea , you are a smart woman . you are a talented designer . you are a savvy businesswoman , totally self - made . that takes brains and guts . why ca n't you see this ? why does this man have such a hold on you ? chelsea : gabriel would n't -- he would n't con me . he would n't do that . sage : every instinct in your body knows that he would . chelsea : no . you -- you may have known gabe longer than i have , but you do n't know the real gabriel bingham . sage : the real gabriel bingham would never use me like this . chelsea : you know what , sage ? just say it ! what is it ? ! you 're throwing out all these hints , all these little innuendos ! why do n't you just say what it is you 're dying to say ? sage : fine , i will say it ! but do not say i did not warn you . nick : i 've been straight with you from the beginning about how i felt about sage . adam : oh , you know what ? you 're right . i guess i should just step aside , then . nick : why are you acting like this wounded party ? are you trying to tell me those flowers you just ordered were for sage ? adam : stay away from my wife , nick . nick : soon to be ex - wife , right , gabe ? adam : you got your sights on her , right , now ? and a newman gets whatever a newman wants ? i guess some things never change , do they ? nick : well , you sure have . adam : you 're right . i have changed . it 's called growing up . nick : you do n't lose yourself when you do that . adam : who says i have ? nick : the gabe bingham i knew would never keep someone trapped in a loveless marriage . adam : yeah , well , a guy 's got to do what a guy 's got to do to get his inheritance , right ? is n't that what you did when you sued your old man for , what , like half a billion dollars to get yours ? nick : it 's more than the money . there 's some other reason you 're clinging to this marriage . you may be right about me -- entitled , spoiled newman . but who are you ? 'cause you 're not the gabe bingham i used to know . sharon : courtney ... is dead ? that -- that ca n't be . dylan : avery was at the station when word came in . sharon : w - was she shot while she was on duty , or -- dylan : she was murdered at the abbott cabin , the same as -- sharon : austin . dylan : yeah . sharon : oh , my god . courtney . [ gasps ] poor noah . dylan : no , no , no . sharon , wait . sharon : i have to find noah . he 's going to need me . dylan : no , you ca n't leave until you tell me where you were today ? sharon : what difference does that make ? my son 's fiancée is dead ! dylan : yeah , she is , and people are gon na want answers about how she ended up that way . everybody who knew about austin 's murder considers you a suspect , and now one of them is dead . sharon : you think i killed courtney ? dylan : sharon , it does n't matter what i think . the police are involved . they 're gon na be asking questions , so just tell me . where were you the last few hours ? and please say you have something to back you up . sharon : like what ? dylan : like a witness , a receipt -- anything that proves that you were nowhere near that cabin . sharon : i do n't have anything that can prove where i was . dylan : [ sighs ] why not ? sharon : because i was alone , in the middle of nowhere . kevin : paul , um , i did n't expect to see you here . paul : when one of mine goes down , i 'm there . stitch : there was -- there was nothing i could do by the time we found her . paul : go ahead . noah : do n't touch her . summer : noah . noah : i mean it . do n't go near her . summer : noah , no , you -- noah : no . summer : you have to let them do their job . paul : come on , son . summer : courtney would want you to . noah : no , i do n't want to leave her . summer : noah , you have to , okay ? come here . it 's okay . come here . paul : okay . call the coroner . and secure the area . and get ahold of csi and tell them to get somebody up here right away . okay . does anybody want to tell me what the hell happened ? kevin : noah got a text message from courtney asking him to come here . mariah : and then we all got messages saying the same thing . paul : to meet her here at the cabin ? abby : yes , but when we got here ... stitch : there was no sign of courtney . summer : noah tried to call her cell phone , but my aunt avery answered instead . kevin : and before we could ask her what was going on ... abby found courtney in there . paul : okay . so , does anyone know how she got in there or who would do this to her ? mariah : no , none . kyle : what makes you think we would ? paul : because sloane 's cell phone was found in a trash can at the station near a computer ... the same computer i caught kevin trying to hack the other day . okay , people . i want answers , and i want them now . kevin : chief , i do n't have any answ -- paul : do n't screw with me , kevin . i want to know why someone would want to kill officer sloane . noah : because she was trying to find the killer . paul : what killer ? summer : the one who murdered austin . paul : what ? paul : all right , somebody better start talking . summer : austin 's death was n't an accident . he was murdered . kevin : here . uh , at least that 's where we found him . paul : how do you know he was murdered ? mariah : we all came up here for abby 's valentine 's day party , and we started this stupid drinking game . summer : someone spiked the punch . mariah : someone named fen . abby : and we passed out . and when we woke up , austin was ... was dead . kyle : stuffed in the armoire , just like courtney . kevin : we panicked , and , um ... paul : and what ? kevin : we -- we moved his body outside , and we made it look like he slipped and fell . mariah : and then fen went outside to -- kyle : to get some air . austin 's body was gone . kevin : you found it the next day in a car , and we got a message from the killer . summer : yeah , written in lipstick on the mirror , it said , `` i know what happened here . `` kyle : we agreed that it was best not to tell anyone that -- paul : best ? really ? best ? it was stupid . it 's stupid and illegal . summer : we were scared . paul : okay . so , you decided to cover up a murder , all of you ... officer sloane included . summer : no , she did n't want to . we convinced her that it was best if we stick together . abby : which we did , until we started getting all the threats and messages . paul : so your mugging in the park is -- stitch : that 's how i got involved -- to protect abby . kyle : we did n't know who to trust or who would be next . paul : if you had trusted me , courtney might still be alive ! noah : do n't you think that we know that ? paul : this is what happens when you take the law into your own hands ! noah : we get it . we screwed up , and it cost courtney her life . now , can we shift focus here and find the bastard who did this ? sharon : i need to be with my son . dylan : you need to tell me where you went after you left avery 's . you said you were going to noah 's wedding , but you did n't make it to the park , did you ? sharon : i was planning to . but then i remembered something that happened the night i was driving around in the snowstorm . dylan : you already told me that you had a panic attack , you pulled over , and you saw a car coming from the direction of the cabin , right ? sharon : but what i did n't remember until today was the driver threw something out of his window as he drove past me . dylan : and what ? you went back to look for it ? sharon : well , i was hoping it would lead us to the killer ! dylan : but you did n't find it . sharon : no . i looked everywhere . there was no sign of it . you do n't believe me ? ! dylan : i do n't know what to think ! you drove back to the cabin at the exact time that courtney was murdered , looking for something that might be linked to austin 's murder ! sharon : yeah , and i was trying to clear myself ! dylan : yeah , but do you realize how bad this looks ? sharon : i know this looks bad . but i did n't kill austin , or courtney . please say you believe me . sage : i know you 're not gon na believe me . this is n't the type of thing that anyone would ever expect to hear . but you have to believe me . what i 'm telling you is the truth . chelsea : then just say it . sage : gabriel -- [ doorbell rings ] chelsea : oh , for god 's sake . sage : it 's all right . i 've waited a long time to tell you this . a few minutes is n't gon na make a difference . are n't you gon na open it ? wow . those are beautiful . [ chuckles ] wonder who they 're from . chelsea : probably billy . sage : or not . chelsea : it 's not signed . sage : well , that 's something secret admirers do , not fiancés . chelsea : an unsigned card does n't prove anything . sage : this is so obvious . how can you not see this ? chelsea : what is it , sage ? what are you trying to tell me about gabe ? sage : you know what ? if you want to know the truth about gabriel , you can ask him . you can start by asking if he knew your dead husband . [ door shuts ] adam : everybody changes . that 's just the way it is . are you the same guy that you used to be , huh -- spoiled , little , rich playboy , the kind of guy that would charm a girl into doing just about anything ? nick : well , at least i remember my past . you do n't seem to remember anything about yours -- well , except for this hatred for the newman family , which , frankly , i do n't recall at all . adam : well , i 've done a lot of research since then , so ... [ cell phone rings ] nick : hey , supergirl . did you find the bride ? summer : [ voice breaking ] dad , um ... s - something 's happened . nick : what 's going on ? summer : courtney , um , s - she 's ... nick : she 's what ? summer : she 's dead ... murdered . nick : um ... okay , uh , where are you ? where 's noah ? summer : we 're -- we 're at the abbott cabin , and paul 's here . he 's gon na take us back to the station right now . nick : okay . i 'll meet you there . i got to go . this is n't finished . adam : you know where to find me . kyle : you okay ? summer : i 'm just worried about noah . kyle : you 'll be there for him . and if you need somebody to lean on , you 've got me , okay ? paul : all right . i want you all to follow me in your own cars back to the station . no detours . understood . summer : hey , do you want to ride with kyle and me ? noah : no , i - i ca n't leave her . paul : hey , you 've got to leave her . noah : no . no , she needs me . stitch : noah , there 's nothing you can do for her , man . noah : no , i have to make sure that she 's okay , s - so ... i ha -- [ sobbing ] paul : all right . you stay with courtney until they have to take her , okay ? noah : [ crying ] paul : and then officer hollister will give you a lift to the station . all right . i will see you all there . noah : [ sobbing ] dylan : [ sighs ] sharon : i need you to be on my side . dylan : i am . but there 's a lot of circumstantial evidence that points to you . sharon : well , if you find whatever it is that the driver threw out of his window that night , that evidence will point to someone else . and it 's out there . it has to be ! dylan : you 're asking me to find a needle in a haystack , and the needle might not even exist ! sharon : it does . if you do n't want to go look for it , i will , after i see my son . dylan : okay , hold on . even if you find this mystery item , how do you explain the message on the machine ? sharon : you did listen to it . dylan : no , i was here when the call came in . sharon : okay , who was it ? dylan : it was rob from the auto body shop . he said he 's gon na stop by to look at the -- the damage from the accident you had in the woods . i thought you already had that damage repaired from the night of the storm . sharon : i did . rob must be confused . dylan : no , he did n't sound confused . but maybe you were . are you sure it was the panic attack that made you skid off the road the night austin was murdered . sharon : yes , i 'm sure . dylan : okay , so it 's not possible that you lost control of your car because you were shaken up by something that happened at the cabin ? and then the same thing happened today . sharon : i thought you were on my side . dylan : i am on your side . but you need to be honest with me . sharon : i am . i have been . and i 'm not gon na stand here wasting more time trying to convince you of that ! i 'm going to see my son ! summer : i ca n't believe this is happening . courtney was my best friend . i was supposed to be at her wedding right now . paul : i know how difficult this is for you ... especially after just losing austin . summer : it 's all so unreal . paul : i know it must seem that way . your husband was having an affair with your aunt . that had to make you furious . summer : i - i - i did n't find out about a - austin and abby until after austin was dead . paul : you must 've suspected something . summer : i did n't suspect anything . and i did n't kill austin , if that 's what you 're implying . paul : you helped cover up his murder , did n't you ? summer : yes . paul : why ? summer , tell me why . summer : because when austin first wound up dead , i ... i thought maybe i did kill him , but i did n't . i could n't have killed him . paul : because you do n't think you 're capable of murder ? summer : because i loved him , in spite of everything . kevin : we were trying to protect summer . that 's how the cover - up started . she remembered having the bloody bookend in her hand , but we knew there was no way she could 've killed austin . paul : so you concealed evidence , even though you work for the department ? kevin : well , we were trying to protect ourselves , too . we were getting threats right away . paul : like this . kevin : yeah . we were wondering who was sending the messages , right ? so i go onto austin 's computer , looking for clues , and i find this video of him following jack through chancellor park , but the end of it is missing . that 's why i hacked into the gcpd computers . i was looking for the surveillance footage from the security cameras in the park . paul : okay , kevin . so , why the hell would austin follow jack abbott ? kevin : we were wondering the same thing . after you suspended me , courtney picked up where i left off . and i think she must 've discovered something , so if you pull up the surveillance -- paul : i ca n't . a virus corrupted our entire computer system . it 's down . happen to know anything about that ? kevin : no . paul : so even if there was something incriminating , it 's gone now . kevin : well , look . whoever 's doing this is really covering up their tracks . i can help you recover the data . paul : did you find anything else on travers ' computer ? oh , damn it . answer my question ! kevin : he was making a documentary . paul : a documentary . about what ? kevin : the newmans and the abbotts . he was planning on exposing all their dirty secrets we think he dug up something that somebody did n't want revealed . and when courtney called us up to the cabin , we thought she 'd discovered what it was . abby : it was n't just a simple mugging . the killer was warning me to back off . paul : and how do you know that ? abby : there was a message on my phone . it was written in lipstick . it said , `` shut up , or you 're next . `` stitch : and another one at victoria 's house . that 's why abby went to the club , and i went with her . we thought it was safer for victoria and the kids , and abby . paul : so , did it ever occur to you , you might want to go to the police with this ? stitch : yeah , like you were gon na believe me , the guy who lied about killing his dad ? nick : hey , i 'm looking for noah newman . excuse me . hey , can you answer some questions i -- really ? paul ? ! paul ? wha -- sage : nick ... i just heard the news . i do n't know what to say or do . i just ... i 'm so sorry . i want to be here for you . nick : i 'm glad you came . adam : oh , good . you got the roses . chelsea : i got them . adam : good . i , uh -- i just wanted to say thank you for letting me drop all of my problems with sage into your lap like that . it 's nice . chelsea : that 's why you sent them ? adam : yeah . call me crazy , but i 'm still sort of holding out hope that sage and i can have a meaningful relationship one day -- you know , like what you had with adam . chelsea : you 're good . adam : thank you . what ? [ chuckles ] chelsea : you always know the right things to say , the right gifts to give , the right moves to make . i mean , you even risked your own life to save my son . adam : sure . uh , a - are you upset with me for some reason ? chelsea : i am onto you . i know all about your little plan . adam : my little plan ? chelsea : to get close to me . i - i ca n't believe i did n't see it before . i mean , the job at jabot ... buying the apartment across the hall , running out of gas , leaving us stranded in the middle of nowhere -- i mean , i am just so off my game . i ca n't believe i did n't see the red flags . adam : sage put this idea in your head , did n't she ? chelsea : are you denying it 's true ? adam : [ clears throat ] chelsea , ca n't you see what she 's doing , here ? chelsea : she 's trying to make me open my eyes . adam : no , she is spreading lies about me to cover up her own infidelity . that 's what she 's doing . chelsea : you did n't pay off our contractor to delay the repairs in our penthouses ? adam : chelsea , who you gon na believe ? you gon na believe a liar like sage , or you gon na believe me ? chelsea : that depends . are you gon na deny you knew my dead husband ? adam : you 're right , chelsea . i - i owe you an explanation . i owe you the truth . chelsea : and ... ? adam : the truth is that i - i do want a meaningful relationship with the woman that i love . i want that more than anything . and sage seems to be doing everything she can to make sure that does n't happen . for her and in her mind , it 's all about the money . and -- and , honestly , for me , at first , it was , too . and then i came here to genoa city , and i ... i looked over , and i saw you sitting right over there . do you remember that ? you were waiting for someone ? chelsea : yes , billy , my fiancé . adam : i did n't know that at the time . and then i saw you again at the park . you were with connor . that 's when i knew . chelsea : knew what ? adam : chelsea , it was you . it was you the whole time . you were the woman that i 'd been waiting for , i 'd been searching for my entire life . it had to be you . and i watched you walk away that day , and -- then i knew that i had to do whatever it took to get you , to be with you . chelsea : [ sighs ] i - i was taken . adam : yeah , you were . you were taken , but not by billy abbott . you were taken ... because you were still in love with your husband . and so i ... i did . i - i found out everything i could about adam newman -- what he did , how he lived his life , what he liked , what he did n't like , his strengths , his weaknesses . everything about him . i wanted to know what it was about this guy that made you love him so much , through everything , no matter what . they wrote him off , chelsea . you did n't . and i wanted that . i wanted to be that man , the kind of man that you could never stop loving , no matter what , to the end , through death , even after . so you stand there , and you ask me if i knew your ex - husband . and the truth is ... chelsea , i know him as much as i know myself . chelsea : but you ... never met him ? adam : i see him every time i look in your eyes . sage : where 's noah ? nick : i do n't know . nobody will tell me anything . sage : well , i 'm gon na wait here with you . you should n't go through this alone . sharon : he 's not alone . nick : hey , sharon . who told you ? sharon : not you . nick : i just found out myself . sage : i 'm so sorry , sharon , for your family , for noah . sharon : you do n't even know our son . nick : sharon , i know you 're upset , but there 's no reason to get upset at sage . sharon : she should n't even be here ! this is a family matter . nick : let 's just focus on noah and hope the police find out who killed courtney . sharon : why 'd you look at me when you said that ? nick : we need to help noah get through this . and part of that is finding out who murdered his fiancée . paul : so , you came back into town to tell summer that travers was cheating on her . kyle : well , she figured it out on her own , but yeah . that 's why i was on my way to the cabin that night . paul : so , i take it you did n't like austin very much . kyle : no . [ clears throat ] and i told him exactly what i thought about him . and then , to make sure he got the message , i tried to break that perfect , little nose of his . paul : so i 'm guessing you did n't lose much sleep when you found out that he was killed and stuffed in an armoire ? kyle : not a minute . paul : mm . kyle : but i did n't kill him . paul : do you know who did ? kyle : should n't you be figuring that out ? paul : do n't worry about that . i will . so , if you have any information that can lead us to the killer , i suggest you tell me what it is right now ... like what was travers doing following your dad in the park ? kyle : if you 're looking for clues , check travers ' laptop . if you 're looking for a motive , check out the woman who gave austin all the dirt he was looking for on the newmans , and then regretted it . mariah : i am not surprised that kyle said that about sharon . paul : well , you ca n't deny she has a strong motive . mariah : if sharon killed austin to keep his exposé from going public , then she killed courtney for the same reason . paul : do you think she did ? mariah : i know sharon . she 's not capable of killing two people . paul : but one 's a possibility ? mariah : no . that 's not what i meant . paul : how can you be so sure ? mariah : i was raised by lowlifes . i know the type of people who would kill to silence somebody . it 's not sharon . paul : all right . so , tell me -- who 's at the top of your list ? mariah : well , the mustache and his son had more to lose than sharon if the story she told austin became public . sharon : noah ? oh , gosh . i 'm so sorry . is there anything we can do ? nick : hey , bud . come here . i 'm so sorry . i 'm so sorry . paul : noah , i need to ask you some questions . sharon : not now , paul . paul : this ca n't wait . sharon : well , it 's gon na have to . i 'm taking my son home . nick : sharon 's right . he 's in no condition to answer any questions right now . paul : he does n't have a choice . nick : the hell he does n't ! we 're going home . sharon : no , i 'm taking him . noah : stop , both of you . i can speak for myself . what do you want to know ? sharon : if you find whatever it is that the driver threw out of his window that night , that evidence will point to someone else . and it 's out there . it has to be ! dylan : you 're asking me to find a needle in a haystack , and the needle may not even exist ! paul : so , everyone i talked to today said that austin 's documentary was most likely the biggest motive for the two murders . noah : well , that makes a lot of suspects . paul : but i can imagine your dad is pretty worried about what sharon said in her interview . noah : well , my dad was buried under a pile of rubble when austin was murdered . paul : right . and you are convinced your mother 's innocent ? noah : yes . paul : okay , so that leaves the group of people who knew from the beginning that austin 's death was not an accident , unless there 's somebody else you can think of . noah : as a matter of fact , there is . your son . paul : dylan ? noah : mm - hmm . paul : what does this have to do with him ? noah : he knew all about this , made us tell him the truth . paul : dylan knows that austin was murdered ? noah : that 's right . yeah . and instead of going to you with it , he told us to stop investigating austin 's death , that he 'd get to the bottom of it . sage : nick -- sharon : he stepped out . but when noah 's finished here , we 're both taking our son home , together . sage : sharon , i 'm very sorry for you and your family . sharon : but you 're not sorry about the opportunity this is giving you to comfort nick . sage : i should go . nick : no , no . do n't go . if you want to stay , then i want you here . stitch : there 's no sense in beating ourselves up over what we did or did n't do . the police are in charge now . they 're gon na find the killer . paul : which we might 've done by now if you all had n't interfered . kyle : does this mean you 're gon na charge us with something ? paul : no , you 're free to go . kyle : because you ca n't legally hold us . paul : no , i can hold you . i can arrest you . the only reason i 'm letting you go is because i do n't want the killer to know that the gcpd is treating this as a murder . if the murderer thinks that we believe that austin 's death was accidental , that gives us the upper hand on both murders . stitch : so , otherwise , keep our mouths shut . paul : yeah . you 'll make it look like you 're still covering up austin 's murder . and whatever you do , do n't mention it 's connected to courtney 's . otherwise -- stitch : otherwise , one of us could be next . chelsea : did you ever just think about being honest and -- and ... telling me the truth , that you have feelings for me ? adam : of course i did . chelsea , i thought about that constantly . i -- i did n't think you were ready to hear it . chelsea : i 'm still not ready to hear it , gabriel . adam : okay . chelsea : i 'm furious at you . you -- you made me question my feelings for billy , all under the guise of concern , when really , it was just part of your master plan to get close to me . adam : no , i did n't make you question anything . the truth is ... the doubt was already there , was n't it ? chelsea : i love billy . adam : yeah , that 's fine . but not as much as you love your husband , and not as much as you could love me . chelsea : stop , okay ? stop saying these things . adam : why stop ? it 's the truth , is n't it ? i ca n't deny what it feels like to be trapped in a relationship with the wrong person . and you know what ? i do n't think you can , either . chelsea : just stay away from me . adam : chelsea -- chelsea : stay away from me . stitch : hey , chels . wow , looks like we 're not the only ones having a bad day . abby : he could be here . he could be sitting at the bar , enjoying dinner . he could be a she . we do n't know anything about the killer , but he knows everything about us -- what we do , where we go stitch : look , why do n't we -- why do n't we -- why do n't we head upstairs ? we 'll get something to eat , some wine , relax . abby : `` relax . `` you expect me to relax when there 's someone out there who 's already killed twice , who 's just waiting to strike again ? stitch : i told you , i 'm not gon na let anyone hurt you . abby : noah thought he could protect courtney . stitch : you know , when i ... when i saw her in that armoire , all i could ... all i could think about was you getting attacked in the park . i 'm just -- i 'm just glad you 're okay . [ chuckles ] paul : i 'll tell your family you 're ready to go . summer : hey , um , i can come home with you if you want . noah : no , i 'm fine . i 'm fine . i - i 'm okay . summer : call me if you need anything , okay ? noah : take care of her , okay ? summer : i love you . kyle : i will . yeah . kevin : you 've got my number . mariah : i , um ... i do n't do sympathy well , but i ... noah : i know . [ sobbing ] [ cell phone rings ] dylan : yeah , paul , w - what -- what 's up ? paul : i need you to come down to the station right away . dylan : uh , w - what 's this about ? paul : i think you know . dylan : no , i do n't . paul : really ? i have reason to believe you have information on austin travers ' murder . [ next_on ] noah : please tell me that you did n't have anything to do with courtney 's death . paul : let me give you a piece of free advice . back off . ashley : what abbott secret am i hiding ? jack : the one about your not truly being an abbott .Summarize.[/INST]the police arrive at the abbott cabin and paul finds out the truth about the murders . he interviews each person involved . noah tells him that dylan also knows the truth . dylan questions sharon about her whereabouts after the wedding was postponed , but sharon just wants to get to noah and has no answer for him . at the police station , sage arrives to support nick . when sharon gets there , she is annoyed that sage is there . eventually , everyone is allowed to go home , because paul does n't want the killer to know that gcpd is treating this as a homicide . sage tells chelsea that gabe has orchestrated every move they 've made to get closer to chelsea . at first , chelsea refuses to see it . later , she confronts gabe , who admits he has feelings for her .</s> | 16,811 |
jack : [ sighs ] come on . come on . voicemail again . traci : [ sighs ] billy . he 's probably got his phone turned off . abby : he really should n't be out there alone . traci : well , wherever he is and whoever he is with , there 's no escaping what today is . abby : i ca n't believe it 's been a whole year since delia died . jack : it feels like yesterday . traci : you know , it was all so fresh -- that first anniversary after i lost colleen . it felt like i was reliving every single detail of her last day . but now , as the years have gone by , there are some details that have sort of slipped away , and , honestly , i do n't know what 's worse -- the pain of remembering or the fear i 'll forget . [ door opens ] abby : oh , uncle billy . ashley : hey . abby : mom ! traci : hi . ashley : yeah , sorry . it 's just me . abby : oh , i did n't know you 'd be back so soon . ashley : well , i had to come . hi , honey . jack : wow . billy will be so glad you 're here for him . ashley : yeah , thanks . he 's not the only person i needed to be here for . victoria : billy ? billy ? are you all right ? billy : yeah . yeah . i 'm fine . i was just thinking about the fact that it was a year ago today that we had that perfect morning . you remember ? dee was so excited about being in `` the wizard of oz `` that she practically flew down the stairs , inhaled her breakfast , and then hustled me off to the car to take her to school . victoria : yeah . i remember . you left at , like , what , 6 : 30 ? billy : yeah . the doors were n't even open yet . and her play was n't until 7 : 00 that night . the whole way there , she kept ... saying her lines over and over and cackling like a witch . [ both chuckle ] billy : ohh . the house just seems so quiet now . victoria : i 'm sorry . i hope it 's okay i asked my mom to watch johnny , you know , at the ceremony this morning . i just thought it would be easier for you . billy : i thought it was really sweet , what the principal was saying -- the dedication of the garden for delia . [ chuckles ] she got so choked up , she could barely finish the speech . victoria : yeah . i could barely get through it myself . billy : and then afterwards , all the kids -- they , uh , all jumped in and started playing , and i - i kept picturing delia jumping in there with them . [ sighs ] god , vick . i 'd give anything to talk to her one more time , you know , just to -- to hold her hand . [ sighs ] victoria : look , i know it 's not ... the same thing that you 're talking about , but ... this might help . it 's from delia . esther : [ voice breaking ] they do such a nice job at the cemetery taking care of all the graves , do n't you think ? jill : yeah , i did n't notice . esther : i mean , the grass is so green . it 's almost like emeralds . i wonder if they put something special in the soil or if it 's from all the tears that fall . jill : yeah . i think it 's probably the million - dollar sprinkler system , esther . esther : the flowers you left for delia were so beautiful . i just know she 's up there smiling right now . jill : that makes one of us . esther : i just know that she loved the little pony that i left for her , 'cause pinkerton needed a best friend . jill : oh , my god ! that little stuffed animal has been under the ground for over a year ! it 's disintegrated ! oh , my god . i 'm so sorry . i 'm so sorry . i do n't know why i said that . oh , what a horrible thing to say . esther : [ sobbing ] [ crying ] i miss her so much . chelsea : tomorrow 's too late . i need them delivered today . as soon as possible . the card ? `` she 'll never be forgotten . `` chloe : i could n't stay away , baby ... not today . kelly : it was sloppy , and it will not be tolerated , so do n't make that mistake again ! [ sighs ] stitch : tough day , huh ? kelly : you know , i just wish people would learn to do their jobs . stitch : why are you yelling at your staff ? that 's not like you . kelly : ben , i realize that what i do does n't seem very complicated to you , but there are a lot of moving parts , and i am responsible for these people ! stitch : hey . why do n't you tell me what 's bothering you ? is it jack ? kelly : no ! well , yes , of course it 's on my mind , but -- [ sighs ] [ sighs ] today is the first anniversary of delia 's death . stitch : i should have figured something was up . i saw victoria after i spoke to you yesterday , and she was -- well , let 's just say it was more confusing than usual . maybe i should go over there -- see how she 's doing . kelly : i think we should both keep our distance . ashley : i was completely stunned that phyllis was home . jack : the miracle we 'd all been hoping for . abby : mm , except for kelly . ashley : how are you dealing with that ? jack : i 'm not -- not right now , anyway . traci : phyllis ' doctors have warned us that she should not be overwhelmed , so i think he 's just concerned it might set her back . ashley : oh , my god . so , you mean you have n't told her yet ? jack : to phyllis , things are exactly the way they were a year ago , and she wants to keep things the way they were -- pick up right where we left off . ashley : and what do you want ? jack : i do n't know . i do n't know . i 'm still sorting through the whole thing . in the meantime , kelly has packed her bags and moved out . abby : oh , shucks . ashley : is that how you talk to your uncle ? jack : yeah , that 's exactly how she talks to me , only we 're gon na drop this subject . today is not about me . today we focus on billy and getting him through this . esther : nothing like a good cry . jill : yeah . yeah . i feel better . esther : where are you going now -- be with billy ? jill : yeah . we 're supposed to go over to the abbott house . what about you ? have you talked to chloe ? esther : i left her a message . i offered to go to california to spend this time with her , but she turned me down . jill : oh , esther , i 'm so sorry . i know how much you wanted to be with her . but listen -- she 's got great doctors there , right ? and they 're giving her the help she needs . esther : she 's finally accepting the help . i just wish we had n't -- jill : listen , you do n't lose a child without everything in your life changing . chloe : i had to come here -- let you know that i 'll always remember . i think about you every second of every day . i think about those eyes and how they twinkled when you giggled . [ chuckles ] oh , that sound . ohh , that sound . you had the biggest heart out of anyone i 've ever known . and you were wiser than all of them , too . [ chuckles ] such an old soul . my little old soul . i know that you 're worried about mommy , but ... i want you to rest easy now , because mommy 's gon na be okay . kevin : chloe ? you 're home . chloe : kevin , no . do n't . billy : what 's in here ? victoria : actually , i do n't know . mrs. britner gave it to me before we left . she said that she found it recently and that she thought we might like to have it . billy : it 's one of her school assignments . victoria : oh , you know what ? i remember this one . i remember it . she told me that it was one of the best things that she 'd ever done in class . billy : `` ' what i know for sure . ' it 's fun to dress up , and chocolate cakes with lots of pink frosting are the best . `` [ both chuckle ] billy : that 's my dee dee . `` you can never have enough animals or tea parties . my mommy is beautiful ... `` victoria : ohh . billy : `` ... and always gives me big hugs . and my daddy -- `` `` my daddy is -- `` victoria : `` my daddy is handsome , and he will always make me laugh . my family loves me ... and when you 're scared or sad , if you remember what makes you smile ... `` [ crying ] `` ... then you smile again . `` [ crying ] ashley : oh . no offense -- we were hoping you were billy . jill : billy is n't here ? traci : well , he left here early this morning , and we really have n't heard anything since . jill : maybe we should start calling around -- find out if somebody knows where he is . jack : let 's hold off on that for right now . no reason to panic just yet . traci : i 'm sure he 'll be home any minute . jill : good , good , because ... you know that news we were hoping to share ? it 's happened . chelsea : once there was a little girl who brought so much joy to everybody that she knew . and her parents had such big hearts that [ sniffles ] once she was gone , they decided to share a part of her with you . her name was delia . victoria : we did n't finish it . billy : yeah . uh ... another time , another day , okay ? victoria : was i wrong to give it to you ? i 'm sorry . i - i - i just thought it would help , but ... maybe it was just too much . billy : no . no . it was , um ... it was perfect . thank you . i 'm gon na head on out , okay ? victoria : yeah , okay . sure . um ... whatever you need to do . but , uh [ sniffles ] listen , if you need anything , i mean ... and just let me know when you want to see johnny , of course . billy : yeah , i will . listen , vick , um ... i 'm sorry . victoria : wh - what for ? billy : for everything . i mean , this whole last year , i - i did n't handle it the way that i should have . and i still do n't know what the right way would have been . you know me . i 'm the kind of guy who needs guidance . but , um ... but i handled it all wrong . victoria : you know what ? tomorrow ... this year is gon na be over , and a new one will begin , and ... you do n't owe me any more apologies . i 'm good . [ crying ] billy : well , hey , kid . what -- what are you doing here ? delia : i 've come to help you , daddy . billy : [ sighs ] kevin : i did n't mean to , uh , get -- sorry . it 's great to see you . chloe : how are you ? kevin : i 'm good . yeah . better now , and , uh ... how are you ? your mom said you 've been making a lot of progress . chloe : i have . well , that 's what they say . [ chuckles ] kevin : so , are you staying with your mom ? chloe : i 'm not staying . kevin : oh . chloe : i just got a 24-hour pass , and i just wanted to slip in and out without anyone knowing i was in town . kevin : oops . [ both chuckle ] chloe : so , you wo n't tell anyone , will you ? i just do n't want my mom and everybody knowing . you know , this was for delia , not for anybody else . kevin : yeah , okay . chelsea : i did n't know what to find when i got here . i half expected everything would be gone . kevin : [ scoffs ] people have not forgotten about delia . if anything , the memorial 's grown bigger . chloe : she had that effect on people . kevin : yeah . that she did . chloe : [ chuckles softly ] she loved you so much , kevin . kevin : she loved the two of us together . kind of makes you wonder . maybe the two of us running in to each other here -- maybe it 's not a coincidence . chloe : you could be right . i do n't think delia would have liked the way that i treated you , especially the way that ... i sent those divorce papers out of the blue . i am not proud of that , either . i think that there are some things that you deserve to hear . i want you to know that you could n't have been more supportive after dee dee . no one fought harder for me to get well . you did everything possible . you held me at night , you made me eat , and you stood there and you took it while i railed at you for caring about me . and i hate that i did that . kevin : you do n't have to apologize . chloe : yes , i do . i really do , because i was in a really bad place , and you were just trying to do whatever you possibly could to make sure that i was okay . and i needed a professional , and i needed to get away from here . that 's why i left . kevin : i could have gone . chloe : no , you could n't have , because it would have just made everything worse , and then i would have felt obliged to take care of you and i would have resented you for it . kevin : so , you do n't resent me now ? chloe : kevin , i love you ... but not in the way that you want . kevin : you know , when you got on the plane , you led me to believe that -- chloe , i thought there was still a chance for us . chloe : i should have told you then . i just did n't want to disappoint you . i - i did n't know how to deal with it . kevin : and then after you 'd been in therapy for a while and you could deal with it , you could n't pick up a phone once to call me and tell me not to hold out hope ? chloe : it 's not something you really want to talk about over the phone . kevin : yeah , maybe , but still . why do i get the feeling that there 's another reason you 've been avoiding me ? abby : uncle billy was supposed to be home for lunch , and do n't bother telling me i should n't be worried . jack : i wo n't . i 'm starting to worry myself . billy : [ sighs ] delia : why are you so nervous ? billy : oh , it 's -- it 's not nerves , dee . i just -- i just do n't want everybody making a fuss over me . delia : but they 're your family . that 's what keeps you strong . that 's what you always told me . billy : you 're so wise . how 'd you get to be so smart ? [ chuckles ] traci : and who are you calling ? jill : victoria . she must know where he is . oh , thank god ! jack : hey ! billy : well , hey . well , look at this . you gathered the whole posse . jack : you ever check your voicemail ? billy : i 'm -- i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to freak everybody out . ashley : come here , billy . billy : hey , ash . i hope you did n't come all this way just for me . ashley : of course i did . of course i did . you 're worth it , too . abby : hey . where were you ? we expected you a while ago . billy : the ceremony at delia 's just -- it lasted a little longer than we expected . traci : billy , these beautiful flowers came for you . billy : oh , that 's great . you know , i 'm gon na check those out later . i 'm gon na head upstairs and change . jill : no , no . no . no . before you do ... we have some news to share . billy : okay . good news , i hope . jack : jill and i have been shepherding a little program to add to the delia project . jill : yeah , and it 's been in the works for a while , but now , thanks to a generous donation from victor and nikki , we finally reached our goal . billy : the black knight is involved ? jack : i 'd go to vlad the impaler for money if i thought i 'd get this off the ground . abby : okay . i 'm gon na ignore all the cracks about my dad because i can not wait to hear what you guys dreamed up . jill : here it is . it 's a children 's theater . jack : a place where kids of all ages and backgrounds can take the stage and become stars . jill : because delia wanted to be an actress -- that was her dream -- and now maybe she can help some other little girl become the next meryl streep . billy : that is , uh -- wow . that 's an amazing idea . i mean , um ... [ voice breaking ] delia would love it . ashley : billy ? billy : i 'm -- i 'm okay . jill : of course you are . of course you are . billy : [ sighs ] jack : hey , look -- we 're here to help you . let us help . tell us how . billy : i appreciate everybody 's effort -- i really do -- but , um ... i 've had plenty of help today , so ... [ sighs ] kelly : victoria . victoria : do you have a minute ? i 'd like a word with you . does that surprise you ? kelly : uh , yeah , it does -- today of all days . victoria : yeah , i know . today has brought up a lot of memories . but it 's also made me realize that i need to speak to you . kelly : listen , first anniversaries -- emotions run high . whatever it is that you have to say , maybe it would be better if you did it on another day . victoria : no . no , this is exactly the right time . kelly : i 'd rather not get into anything with you . victoria : that 's not my intention at all -- quite the opposite . i was trying to look for a way to honor dee dee today . and , uh ... it came to me earlier , when i came across a composition that she had written in school . and it was almost as if she had taken me by the arms and shook me and said ... `` stop wasting your life being so angry and frustrated . life is just too short . `` kelly : yeah , it really is . victoria : and i think we 've all suffered enough . i really do . all of the anger and the blame ... i honestly think we all need to let it go . billy : i spent the whole night staring at the ceiling . i was running memories of delia in my head , you know , like -- like watching movies in the dark . and every once in a while , i 'd roll over and i 'd -- i 'd look out the window to see if there was any sunlight peeking through , because i was dreading that damn sunrise , 'cause it meant that this day was finally here , you know ? but then it happened . the sun came up , like it always does , and , uh ... the world did n't come to an end , so -- so i got up . i got in the shower . i got dressed . i even made it through delia 's ceremony at school . jill : that 's wonderful . ashley : you 're doing great , billy . traci : billy , trust me -- there 's no right or wrong way to get through this day . the feelings sort of creep up on you before you even expect it , and the best i can tell you is just be in it 100 % . take it for what it is and be kind to yourself . billy : i want that to be my legacy to delia . i , um -- i want her to be proud . uh ... all day today , i feel like she 's sort of been with me , and i just want to be the kind of man that she believed that i could be . jack : we all know that you can do that . billy : yeah . i know it , too . she reminded me of that today . um , look , i just remembered something else i need to do , but ... i want to leave this with you guys . you should read it . you 'll be glad you did . chloe : i already told you why i 've been avoiding you . kevin : no . i think there 's more to it . chloe : like what ? like i 've been sleeping with my doctor ? kevin : are you ? chloe : kevin . kevin : what ? maybe you 're not doing as well as you say you are . maybe that 's why you 've been hiding . chloe : i have n't been hiding . i 've been in the hospital . kevin : just before you left , you were going on about having another baby with billy so that you could re - create delia , and that was after you 'd kidnapped connor to be her replacement . issues like that , chloe -- they take a long time to work through . chloe : yeah , it does . it does , and that 's why i have been moving forward and using all of my energy to heal , and i 'm sorry that i had to cut you out of my life in order to do that . kevin : so , what about after ? what about when you 're done with your therapy ? chloe : no . kevin : but you do n't know -- chloe : no , i am going to start over , and it 's not gon na be in genoa city and it 's not gon na be with you . kevin : so , after everything that we 've been through , after all of our years together , you 're saying this is it ? chloe : it has to be . i did n't mean to hurt you , kevin . i just have nothing left to give you . goodbye . kelly : you know , that really means a lot to me -- your willingness to put everything behind us . victoria : i mean , i do n't think that we 're ever gon na be friends . kelly : [ laughing ] no . i realize that would be asking a lot . victoria : it 's just that this baby 's gon na be coming fairly soon , and you might end up being family , and , you know , i just do n't want there to be any lingering negativity and all that . kelly : well , thank you for that . that really means a lot , especially right now . it 's nice to have the extra burden off my plate . victoria : so , i - i heard that phyllis is back . kelly : yeah . yeah , just when jack and i had taken the next step . life 's not short on complications , is it ? victoria : no , it 's not . stitch : i finished my workout . hey , victoria . victoria : hi . kelly : well , yeah . i got to get back to work . um ... thanks for the talk . see ya , ben . stitch : so , i , uh , overheard what you said . i could tell she appreciated you trying to make peace . i ca n't imagine that was easy for you . victoria : well , you know , it 's easier than living in the past . i 'm just tired of it dictating my life . stitch : so , that kiss yesterday that you gave me -- was that you moving forward or saying goodbye ? victoria : i know that i 've been , um , you know , giving you mixed signals since i found out what you did to your dad . i realize i should n't do that to you anymore . jack : wow . out of the mouths of babes . jill : she was n't a babe . she was wise beyond her years . ashley : i love that line . `` a mani is nothing without a pedi ... `` both : `` especially when you can get both for a dollar more . `` traci : [ laughs ] jack : i think that came along at exactly the right time . traci : delia is definitely looking over us . abby : over us and uncle billy . ashley : now that billy 's feeling stronger , i wonder what the future has in store for him . abby : well , he 's gon na get back together with victoria , no matter who the baby 's father turns out to be . traci : i think chelsea might have something to say about that . jill : chelsea ? please . her relationship with billy is just a fling . i mean , he 's in love with victoria . chelsea 's not in the same league as victoria . jack : actually , i 've spent a little time with chelsea , and there 's more to her than you think . abby : she 's a con artist , uncle jack . jack : was a con artist . jill : do people like that ever really change ? jack : you might want to ask yourself the same question , jill . ashley : okay , let 's not do this -- not today , please . jack : look , my point is billy has turned to her time and again for friendship , and she 's been there for him . jill : are you actually saying you want to see him with that woman ? jack : no . i am saying i want billy with the best woman for him , whoever that may be . delia : i just want you to be happy . billy : [ chuckles softly ] well , i 'm working on it , kid . how about we just go with happy thoughts the rest of the day , okay ? delia : like halloween . billy : yeah . delia : what are you gon na be ? billy : uh , gosh . i - i have n't given it much thought . delia : daddy . billy : i know . i know . it 's our favorite . what do you think i should be ? delia : a zombie pirate or a werewolf astronaut . billy : wow . those are great ideas . what about you ? how 'bout , um , a frankenstein ballerina or , like , a giant spider on roller skates ? delia : no . i just want to be your little girl . billy : that sounds perfect . delia : happy thoughts , daddy . billy : yeah . happy thoughts , dee .

but then it happened . the sun came up , like it always does , and , uh ... the world did n't come to an end , so -- so i got up . i got in the shower . i got dressed . i even made it through delia 's ceremony at school . jill : that 's wonderful . ashley : you 're doing great , billy . traci : billy , trust me -- there 's no right or wrong way to get through this day . the feelings sort of creep up on you before you even expect it , and the best i can tell you is just be in it 100 % . take it for what it is and be kind to yourself . billy : i want that to be my legacy to delia . i , um -- i want her to be proud . uh ... all day today , i feel like she 's sort of been with me , and i just want to be the kind of man that she believed that i could be . jack : we all know that you can do that . billy : yeah . i know it , too . she reminded me of that today . um , look , i just remembered something else i need to do , but ... i want to leave this with you guys . you should read it . you 'll be glad you did . chloe : i already told you why i 've been avoiding you . kevin : no . i think there 's more to it . chloe : like what ? like i 've been sleeping with my doctor ? kevin : are you ? chloe : kevin . kevin : what ? maybe you 're not doing as well as you say you are . maybe that 's why you 've been hiding . chloe : i have n't been hiding . i 've been in the hospital . kevin : just before you left , you were going on about having another baby with billy so that you could re - create delia , and that was after you 'd kidnapped connor to be her replacement . issues like that , chloe -- they take a long time to work through . chloe : yeah , it does . it does , and that 's why i have been moving forward and using all of my energy to heal , and i 'm sorry that i had to cut you out of my life in order to do that . kevin : so , what about after ? what about when you 're done with your therapy ? chloe : no . kevin : but you do n't know -- chloe : no , i am going to start over , and it 's not gon na be in genoa city and it 's not gon na be with you . kevin : so , after everything that we 've been through , after all of our years together , you 're saying this is it ? chloe : it has to be . i did n't mean to hurt you , kevin . i just have nothing left to give you . goodbye . kelly : you know , that really means a lot to me -- your willingness to put everything behind us . victoria : i mean , i do n't think that we 're ever gon na be friends . kelly : [ laughing ] no . i realize that would be asking a lot . victoria : it 's just that this baby 's gon na be coming fairly soon , and you might end up being family , and , you know , i just do n't want there to be any lingering negativity and all that . kelly : well , thank you for that . that really means a lot , especially right now . it 's nice to have the extra burden off my plate . victoria : so , i - i heard that phyllis is back . kelly : yeah . yeah , just when jack and i had taken the next step . life 's not short on complications , is it ? victoria : no , it 's not . stitch : i finished my workout . hey , victoria . victoria : hi . kelly : well , yeah . i got to get back to work . um ... thanks for the talk . see ya , ben . stitch : so , i , uh , overheard what you said . i could tell she appreciated you trying to make peace . i ca n't imagine that was easy for you . victoria : well , you know , it 's easier than living in the past . i 'm just tired of it dictating my life . stitch : so , that kiss yesterday that you gave me -- was that you moving forward or saying goodbye ? victoria : i know that i 've been , um , you know , giving you mixed signals since i found out what you did to your dad . i realize i should n't do that to you anymore . jack : wow . out of the mouths of babes . jill : she was n't a babe . she was wise beyond her years . ashley : i love that line . `` a mani is nothing without a pedi ... `` both : `` especially when you can get both for a dollar more . `` traci : [ laughs ] jack : i think that came along at exactly the right time . traci : delia is definitely looking over us . abby : over us and uncle billy . ashley : now that billy 's feeling stronger , i wonder what the future has in store for him . abby : well , he 's gon na get back together with victoria , no matter who the baby 's father turns out to be . traci : i think chelsea might have something to say about that . jill : chelsea ? please . her relationship with billy is just a fling . i mean , he 's in love with victoria . chelsea 's not in the same league as victoria . jack : actually , i 've spent a little time with chelsea , and there 's more to her than you think . abby : she 's a con artist , uncle jack . jack : was a con artist . jill : do people like that ever really change ? jack : you might want to ask yourself the same question , jill . ashley : okay , let 's not do this -- not today , please . jack : look , my point is billy has turned to her time and again for friendship , and she 's been there for him . jill : are you actually saying you want to see him with that woman ? jack : no . i am saying i want billy with the best woman for him , whoever that may be . delia : i just want you to be happy . billy : [ chuckles softly ] well , i 'm working on it , kid . how about we just go with happy thoughts the rest of the day , okay ? delia : like halloween . billy : yeah . delia : what are you gon na be ? billy : uh , gosh . i - i have n't given it much thought . delia : daddy . billy : i know . i know . it 's our favorite . what do you think i should be ? delia : a zombie pirate or a werewolf astronaut . billy : wow . those are great ideas . what about you ? how 'bout , um , a frankenstein ballerina or , like , a giant spider on roller skates ? delia : no . i just want to be your little girl . billy : that sounds perfect . delia : happy thoughts , daddy . billy : yeah . happy thoughts , dee .

[ men cheering ] but i soon found exactly what i was looking for . or so i thought . nikki : i told you my name . so what 's yours ? greg . i threw caution to the wind and leapt into marriage with a wonderful man , greg foster . nikki : i am getting married ! me , nikki reed . i am actually getting married . oh , casey ! i assumed everything would be perfect then , but i was so naive . i was n't ready for marriage . i wound up sabotaging our relationship . i craved excitement , making one mistake after another . poor greg . being a good little wife just was n't for me . to say i did n't exercise the best judgment , or trust the right people , is putting it mildly . i kept looking for adventure , for a new purpose , without stopping to ask `` what am i really getting into ? `` if i had , i never would have joined new world -- a cult . it started out sweet and peaceful . nikki : the most wonderful thing happened . i met these really neat people , paul . they took me home with them , and that 's where i 'm staying now . they 're just so good to me , paul . they gave me a place to stay and food to eat . they 're not related or anything , but they 're like a family , a real close family . paul : [ sighs ] you mean it 's like a commune ? nikki : yeah . it 's kind of like that . paul : oh , that sounds kind of weird to me , nikki . nikki : look , any mistakes that i may have made , the universe does n't hold them against me . today is all that counts , and we 're all free -- all of us . no matter what we 've done to just go on and build a better life for us , a better world . it was all a lie . i had allowed myself to be manipulated again . paul joined me there for a while , seeking his own serenity , but quickly moved on . i realized i needed to control my own destiny . i came into my own in the most unexpected of places , a club called the bayou . i loved every second of being in the spotlight . nikki : this time , i went out there , i just told myself there 's nothing to be afraid of , and then , pretty soon , i noticed that they were looking at me differently , you know ? i mean , they were really into what i was doing . they liked it ! they liked me ! plenty of people disapproved , but i had no regrets . not one . casey : what 's wrong ? a little bit embarrassed about this job you 've been telling me about ? let me see , it was performing in the arts , was n't it ? look , if this job makes you feel so good , then why are you afraid to talk about it ? tell me ! nikki : all right ! okay , you want to talk , let 's talk . i 'm not ashamed of what i 'm doing at all . in fact , i 'm very proud of it . what do you have to say to me now ? i had no idea where this path i was on would lead , but there , in that little strip club , the course of my life was changed forever . [ cheering ] quite a talent , would n't you say , old boy ? victor : mm - hmm . quite a talent , indeed . [ cheering continues ] ( announcer ) do you push through migraine ? victor is the love of my life . always has been , always will be . but he 's not the only man i 've loved , and he 's sure not the only one i married . my full name is nikki reed foster bancroft newman abbott landers newman chow sharpe abbott newman . granted , some of those vows never should 've been exchanged . but when it comes to `` for better , for worse , `` i 've had more than my share of better . starting with jack abbott . i think it 's safe now to say we were n't meant to be , romantically speaking . still , i cherish him and his unwavering friendship . jack : do not forget . you are not alone . you have family and friends in this town who love you , who would do anything for you , who want only the best for you . nikki : i will never forget that . jack : if you ever need anything from your old pal jack , though , i am a phone call away . nikki : i wo n't forget it . jack is someone i can always count on . we respect each other in a way that 's rare and special . i am lucky to have him in my life . but , in the end , your grandfather is it for me . victor newman is larger than life , the undisputed master of the grand romantic gesture . nikki : oh , my god . [ gasps ] diamonds ? they 're real ! they 're real diamonds ! oh ! victor : now , have i forgotten anything to get you off to a good new year ? nikki : yes . yes , you have . victor : well , you 're just gon na have to wait till your birthday . when , by the way , is your birthday ? nikki : it 's not until may , and i do n't want to wait that long for what i want . victor : well , are n't you turning into a greedy little girl . nikki : but you asked me what else i wanted . victor : all right . i 'll take my life and my pocketbook in my hand , and i tell you that whatever it is , you shall have . nikki : i want you to kiss me . victor : no , do n't ask me that . you do n't really -- nikki : i want you to kiss me . victor , the coat and the bracelet , they 're fabulous , but i want you to show me your real feelings . victor : i mean , is n't that what i have been doing ? nikki : no ! you 've been giving me things . and i want you . victor : hmm . and a kiss would be more assuring than just things ? nikki : yes . just one kiss . and if you do n't kiss me , i 'm not going to keep anything that you 've given me . victor : well , you drive a hard bargain , do n't you ? nikki : am i that unattractive ? victor : you 're adorable . and you test a man 's patience to the limit . all right . nikki : put -- put your arms around me first . victor : this is not gon na prove anything , you know . nikki : just put your arms around me . victor : now , remember , this was your idea . victor took me in , his `` diamond in the rough , `` as he called me , and swept me off my feet . [ `` here comes the bride `` plays ] victor : i join you in marriage , nikki , to make you my wife for the length of our days , to love and comfort you , in joy and in sorrow . to support and to care for you . to cherish and respect you . and to give of myself . but nobody 's life is a fairy tale , including ours . there have been times when i 've had to walk away from victor to save myself . we 've hurt each other badly . victor : you want me to blame myself for this kind of betrayal ? nikki : i was sick and tired of being lonely , victor , and i could n't reach you ! victor : what have you done to us ? nikki : you do n't understand any of this ! god ! he -- he offered me a future , victor ! he offered me a life filled with love and romance , all those things ... that i did n't think were possible with you anymore . [ sobbing ] victor : there are no expectations for our future anymore , and there never will be . never . because what you have done , is unforgivable . we 've ended things only to reunite again and again . the connection between victor and me , it 's indescribable . we understand each other in ways no one else can . we share a profound and unbreakable bond . [ horse whinnying ] victor : stay . come here . when i asked you to marry me earlier , i did n't do it in the right way . nikki : you did not have to . victor : yeah , well , i want to . i 'm a very fortunate man . but without you ... i have nothing . i had everything i ever wanted in you . so ... will you marry me ? the love we have for each other and for our family is the light that 's guided me and given me hope even on my darkest days . nikki : do you know how to say `` vodka `` in spanish ? katherine : are you drinking ? answer me ! nikki : yes , i am drinking , katherine . i 'm grateful to be able to write you this letter , even under my current trying circumstances , because i 'm grateful to be alive at all . i 've been sick , i 've gotten well , gone into remission , then relapsed . i also suffer from a disease as insidious as my ms , which i must deal with every day -- my drinking . i 've often wondered if i inherited this addiction from my father , or was it just born from a terrible string of events ? a back injury that led to painkillers , and when the pills were n't enough , to vodka . perhaps it does n't matter because the fact is , i 'm an alcoholic , and heaven knows the days i drowned myself in a bottle were ones i wish i could pretend never happened . but far more disturbing than my embarrassing behavior is how close i came to dying because i chose to live in denial and lost control . jack : god , do n't you see what 's happening ? do n't you see it , nikki ? all this drinking ? you 're blacking out ! this is the second time that it 's happened , nikki ! and it 's gon na be more frequent . it 's already happening . i 'm so lucky i had people around who loved me and forced me to open my eyes . and fought for me even when i was n't sure i had it in me to fight for myself . victor : and you 're the mother of my children . i know this is an illness , i know this is an addiction . what the hell am i talking about ? i know that you 're not listening to word i say right now . it means nothing to you ! nikki : [ crying ] yes , it does . it does . victor : then let me help you . please , let me help you . all i want to do is help you . okay ? that 's one of the most important lessons i want to pass on to you . when you 're feeling lost , remember that you are not alone . nikki : what really matters here is that i am serious about my recovery . walk the walk . neil : i could n't agree more . nikki : i do n't need rehab to do that . i mean , i certainly do n't need that public ridicule and ... [ sighs ] that indignity . neil : i 'm not gon na force you to do anything . i 'm just gon na simply remind you that you 're not alone in all this . you see , victor needs you much more than he 'll admit . you 've got children , you 've got grandkids , and they 're all looking up to you . and your job is to help navigate them through life . you are the matriarch . you are the example . now , my guess is that you want this , that you really need this . it 's your choice . your friends , your family , even a good samaritan , someone you 'd never expect will reach out a hand , and all you have to do is take it . `` the young and the restless `` will continue . i can just imagine you reading this , thinking , `` okay , grandma , keep dishing out advice from inside that jail . sure has helped you a lot . `` but it 's not just lip service . i believe every word of what i just told you . if i did n't have faith , did n't hold onto the sense of possibility that each new day brings , i do n't know how i would have dealt with some of the losses i 've endured , things that seemed unbearable at the time . nikki : the pain is still very fresh for you , is n't it ? jack : [ sighs ] something happened to me today that brought it all back to the surface . nikki : what happened ? tell me . jack : this woman visited me in the office . nikki : what woman ? jack : name was suzanne cook . she brought a baby with her , nik . it turns out this little boy was born with a severe heart defect . doctors only gave him a month , maybe two . that is , until a donor came along . and this baby was born prematurely , whose parents had agreed to donate any usable organs that another child might live . and he , uh , had a heart transplant . nikki : oh , my god . so this ... this baby , this woman 's baby ... jack : he 's alive today because of our son . that little boy who did n't make it . how do you comprehend the death of a child ? or make any sense of it ? the answer is -- you don't . nikki : [ sighs ] i just ca n't believe she 's gone . i just ca n't believe it 's not real . victor : i know . nikki : it 's not real . how can this be happening ? how can cassie be gone ? i ca n't accept this . victor : i 'll tell you one thing , i 've never felt so helpless in my life , standing at her bedside and watching her life slip away . nikki : darling , do n't torture yourself . victor : i just keep on wondering -- what the hell made her walk out of the hospital that night ? nikki : i do n't know . these are questions we 'll never have answers to . victor : [ sighs ] the question is , can we live with not knowing the answer to that ? nikki : we have no choice . you find a way to go on because you have to , because there 's still an entire future ahead of you . being a parent involves a tremendous amount of hard work . you 're under so much pressure to impart the right values and set a good example . that does n't change , even when your children are all grown up , whether they live nearby or far from home . nikki : all right , baby . tell us everything . tell us about your life here . are you well ? are you happy ? victoria : do n't i look happy ? nikki : yes , you do . you do . victoria : i 've never been more at peace . victor : well , that explains why you have stayed away from us for so long . i 'm sure victoria and nicholas did n't always appreciate my maternal style . when i disapproved of their choices , i did n't hesitate to let them know . nikki : would you rather i lie ? would you rather i just walk around singing her praises when you know i have serious questions about her background and about her intentions ? nick : oh , right . that 's right , you think sharon 's after the newman fortune . so you think that 's my appeal . nikki : i never said that . but whether you like it or not , you are gon na run into girls who are gon na want to exploit you . nick : you know , mom , you 're doing wonders for my ego . nikki : you ... sharon : [ gasps , screams ] nikki : ... are a whore ! you tramp ! sharon : you ... nikki : do n't you touch me . sharon : ... are a dried - up drunk . why do n't you mount one of victor 's clydesdales and ride on over to jimmy 's ? nikki : oh , oh , oh . that 's a good one , sharon . yeah , and give you an opportunity to jump in the hay with victor and earn another horse ! sharon : well , you do n't have enough in the tank to earn yourself a donkey -- heehaw ! nikki : you have nothing ! get off this ranch ! sharon : bessie , would you like some hay ? nikki : you shut your mouth ! sharon : [ screaming ] but there were also times when i saw they were happy , so i stayed quiet and tried to support them . nikki : victor , let me ask you something . victor : yeah . nikki : are your feelings about this strictly based on billy and your worry for victoria , or simply that billy is an abbott ? victor : both . nikki : well , i hate to tell you this , but i think victoria has been happier than she 's ever been , and if billy is the same , i do n't know that we 're ever gon na get her back . when you have children and hold those sweet babies in your arms , nothing will ever come close to the joy you feel . nikki : hi , angel . yes , you 're gon na get christened today . [ gasps ] yeah . victor : i 'm not late , am i ? nikki : oh , no . we just got here . kevin 's parking the car , and i wanted to get the baby warm inside . wait till you see the baby . does n't she look like a little angel ? look , honey ! look who 's here ! look ! and that feeling never goes away . neither does the desire for them to be happy and healthy and safe . a deep need to protect them at any cost because their lives are more important to you than your own . nikki : [ sobbing ] my baby pwas fighting for her life . i 'm her mother . i am her mother . i reached for whatever was closest , and i swung it as hard as i could . they are a part of you forever , heart and soul , and when they have children of their own , your heart just grows larger because you have even more love to give . more than you ever dreamed possible , and that is life 's greatest gift . i ca n't tell you who i am or what i witnessed , when katherine died , i was in shock . nikki : let me know that you 've got an empty hole inside of you that will never be filled again ! yell , scream , throw something ! i want to know that you are as devastated as i am that you did n't get to say goodbye to your best friend in the world ! my best friend ... in the world ... i do n't have her anymore . she 's gone . i 'm so lost , victor . and we were n't finished ! we were n't finished ! i needed to talk to her one last time .

[ sobbing continues ] after he was gone , so was my carefree childhood . while casey worked long hours at the hospital to support us , i was left to my own devices . that 's when i met paul williams . if you 'd told me he 'd end up being one of my best friends for life , i never would 've believed you . we were just two crazy kids , trying to find our place in the world . nikki : paul . there 's somebody out there ! paul : it sounds like the whole damn team , nikki . nikki : what are we gon na do ? they 're gon na be in here any minute . paul : i do n't know , give me a second , let me think , all right ? nikki : what do you mean , think ? we got to do something . we got to get out of here ! paul : uh ... nikki : paul ! paul : all right , all right ! come on , come on . [ men cheering ] but i soon found exactly what i was looking for . or so i thought . nikki : i told you my name . so what 's yours ? greg . i threw caution to the wind and leapt into marriage with a wonderful man , greg foster . nikki : i am getting married ! me , nikki reed . i am actually getting married . oh , casey ! i assumed everything would be perfect then , but i was so naive . i was n't ready for marriage . i wound up sabotaging our relationship . i craved excitement , making one mistake after another . poor greg . being a good little wife just was n't for me . to say i did n't exercise the best judgment , or trust the right people , is putting it mildly . i kept looking for adventure , for a new purpose , without stopping to ask `` what am i really getting into ? `` if i had , i never would have joined new world -- a cult . it started out sweet and peaceful . nikki : the most wonderful thing happened . i met these really neat people , paul . they took me home with them , and that 's where i 'm staying now . they 're just so good to me , paul . they gave me a place to stay and food to eat . they 're not related or anything , but they 're like a family , a real close family . paul : [ sighs ] you mean it 's like a commune ? nikki : yeah . it 's kind of like that . paul : oh , that sounds kind of weird to me , nikki . nikki : look , any mistakes that i may have made , the universe does n't hold them against me . today is all that counts , and we 're all free -- all of us . no matter what we 've done to just go on and build a better life for us , a better world . it was all a lie . i had allowed myself to be manipulated again . paul joined me there for a while , seeking his own serenity , but quickly moved on . i realized i needed to control my own destiny . i came into my own in the most unexpected of places , a club called the bayou . i loved every second of being in the spotlight . nikki : this time , i went out there , i just told myself there 's nothing to be afraid of , and then , pretty soon , i noticed that they were looking at me differently , you know ? i mean , they were really into what i was doing . they liked it ! they liked me ! plenty of people disapproved , but i had no regrets . not one . casey : what 's wrong ? a little bit embarrassed about this job you 've been telling me about ? let me see , it was performing in the arts , was n't it ? look , if this job makes you feel so good , then why are you afraid to talk about it ? tell me ! nikki : all right ! okay , you want to talk , let 's talk . i 'm not ashamed of what i 'm doing at all . in fact , i 'm very proud of it . what do you have to say to me now ? i had no idea where this path i was on would lead , but there , in that little strip club , the course of my life was changed forever . [ cheering ] quite a talent , would n't you say , old boy ? victor : mm - hmm . quite a talent , indeed . [ cheering continues ] ( announcer ) do you push through migraine ? victor is the love of my life . always has been , always will be . but he 's not the only man i 've loved , and he 's sure not the only one i married . my full name is nikki reed foster bancroft newman abbott landers newman chow sharpe abbott newman . granted , some of those vows never should 've been exchanged . but when it comes to `` for better , for worse , `` i 've had more than my share of better . starting with jack abbott . i think it 's safe now to say we were n't meant to be , romantically speaking . still , i cherish him and his unwavering friendship . jack : do not forget . you are not alone . you have family and friends in this town who love you , who would do anything for you , who want only the best for you . nikki : i will never forget that . jack : if you ever need anything from your old pal jack , though , i am a phone call away . nikki : i wo n't forget it . jack is someone i can always count on . we respect each other in a way that 's rare and special . i am lucky to have him in my life . but , in the end , your grandfather is it for me . victor newman is larger than life , the undisputed master of the grand romantic gesture . nikki : oh , my god . [ gasps ] diamonds ? they 're real ! they 're real diamonds ! oh ! victor : now , have i forgotten anything to get you off to a good new year ? nikki : yes . yes , you have . victor : well , you 're just gon na have to wait till your birthday . when , by the way , is your birthday ? nikki : it 's not until may , and i do n't want to wait that long for what i want . victor : well , are n't you turning into a greedy little girl . nikki : but you asked me what else i wanted . victor : all right . i 'll take my life and my pocketbook in my hand , and i tell you that whatever it is , you shall have . nikki : i want you to kiss me . victor : no , do n't ask me that . you do n't really -- nikki : i want you to kiss me . victor , the coat and the bracelet , they 're fabulous , but i want you to show me your real feelings . victor : i mean , is n't that what i have been doing ? nikki : no ! you 've been giving me things . and i want you . victor : hmm . and a kiss would be more assuring than just things ? nikki : yes . just one kiss . and if you do n't kiss me , i 'm not going to keep anything that you 've given me . victor : well , you drive a hard bargain , do n't you ? nikki : am i that unattractive ? victor : you 're adorable . and you test a man 's patience to the limit . all right . nikki : put -- put your arms around me first . victor : this is not gon na prove anything , you know . nikki : just put your arms around me . victor : now , remember , this was your idea . victor took me in , his `` diamond in the rough , `` as he called me , and swept me off my feet . [ `` here comes the bride `` plays ] victor : i join you in marriage , nikki , to make you my wife for the length of our days , to love and comfort you , in joy and in sorrow . to support and to care for you . to cherish and respect you . and to give of myself . but nobody 's life is a fairy tale , including ours . there have been times when i 've had to walk away from victor to save myself . we 've hurt each other badly . victor : you want me to blame myself for this kind of betrayal ? nikki : i was sick and tired of being lonely , victor , and i could n't reach you ! victor : what have you done to us ? nikki : you do n't understand any of this ! god ! he -- he offered me a future , victor ! he offered me a life filled with love and romance , all those things ... that i did n't think were possible with you anymore . [ sobbing ] victor : there are no expectations for our future anymore , and there never will be . never . because what you have done , is unforgivable . we 've ended things only to reunite again and again . the connection between victor and me , it 's indescribable . we understand each other in ways no one else can . we share a profound and unbreakable bond . [ horse whinnying ] victor : stay . come here . when i asked you to marry me earlier , i did n't do it in the right way . nikki : you did not have to . victor : yeah , well , i want to . i 'm a very fortunate man . but without you ... i have nothing . i had everything i ever wanted in you . so ... will you marry me ? the love we have for each other and for our family is the light that 's guided me and given me hope even on my darkest days . nikki : do you know how to say `` vodka `` in spanish ? katherine : are you drinking ? answer me ! nikki : yes , i am drinking , katherine . i 'm grateful to be able to write you this letter , even under my current trying circumstances , because i 'm grateful to be alive at all . i 've been sick , i 've gotten well , gone into remission , then relapsed . i also suffer from a disease as insidious as my ms , which i must deal with every day -- my drinking . i 've often wondered if i inherited this addiction from my father , or was it just born from a terrible string of events ? a back injury that led to painkillers , and when the pills were n't enough , to vodka . perhaps it does n't matter because the fact is , i 'm an alcoholic , and heaven knows the days i drowned myself in a bottle were ones i wish i could pretend never happened . but far more disturbing than my embarrassing behavior is how close i came to dying because i chose to live in denial and lost control . jack : god , do n't you see what 's happening ? do n't you see it , nikki ? all this drinking ? you 're blacking out ! this is the second time that it 's happened , nikki ! and it 's gon na be more frequent . it 's already happening . i 'm so lucky i had people around who loved me and forced me to open my eyes . and fought for me even when i was n't sure i had it in me to fight for myself . victor : and you 're the mother of my children . i know this is an illness , i know this is an addiction . what the hell am i talking about ? i know that you 're not listening to word i say right now . it means nothing to you ! nikki : [ crying ] yes , it does . it does . victor : then let me help you . please , let me help you . all i want to do is help you . okay ? that 's one of the most important lessons i want to pass on to you . when you 're feeling lost , remember that you are not alone . nikki : what really matters here is that i am serious about my recovery . walk the walk . neil : i could n't agree more . nikki : i do n't need rehab to do that . i mean , i certainly do n't need that public ridicule and ... [ sighs ] that indignity . neil : i 'm not gon na force you to do anything . i 'm just gon na simply remind you that you 're not alone in all this . you see , victor needs you much more than he 'll admit . you 've got children , you 've got grandkids , and they 're all looking up to you . and your job is to help navigate them through life . you are the matriarch . you are the example . now , my guess is that you want this , that you really need this . it 's your choice . your friends , your family , even a good samaritan , someone you 'd never expect will reach out a hand , and all you have to do is take it . `` the young and the restless `` will continue . i can just imagine you reading this , thinking , `` okay , grandma , keep dishing out advice from inside that jail . sure has helped you a lot . `` but it 's not just lip service . i believe every word of what i just told you . if i did n't have faith , did n't hold onto the sense of possibility that each new day brings , i do n't know how i would have dealt with some of the losses i 've endured , things that seemed unbearable at the time . nikki : the pain is still very fresh for you , is n't it ? jack : [ sighs ] something happened to me today that brought it all back to the surface . nikki : what happened ? tell me . jack : this woman visited me in the office . nikki : what woman ? jack : name was suzanne cook . she brought a baby with her , nik . it turns out this little boy was born with a severe heart defect . doctors only gave him a month , maybe two . that is , until a donor came along . and this baby was born prematurely , whose parents had agreed to donate any usable organs that another child might live . and he , uh , had a heart transplant . nikki : oh , my god . so this ... this baby , this woman 's baby ... jack : he 's alive today because of our son . that little boy who did n't make it . how do you comprehend the death of a child ? or make any sense of it ? the answer is -- you don't . nikki : [ sighs ] i just ca n't believe she 's gone . i just ca n't believe it 's not real . victor : i know . nikki : it 's not real . how can this be happening ? how can cassie be gone ? i ca n't accept this . victor : i 'll tell you one thing , i 've never felt so helpless in my life , standing at her bedside and watching her life slip away . nikki : darling , do n't torture yourself . victor : i just keep on wondering -- what the hell made her walk out of the hospital that night ? nikki : i do n't know . these are questions we 'll never have answers to . victor : [ sighs ] the question is , can we live with not knowing the answer to that ? nikki : we have no choice . you find a way to go on because you have to , because there 's still an entire future ahead of you . being a parent involves a tremendous amount of hard work . you 're under so much pressure to impart the right values and set a good example . that does n't change , even when your children are all grown up , whether they live nearby or far from home . nikki : all right , baby . tell us everything . tell us about your life here . are you well ? are you happy ? victoria : do n't i look happy ? nikki : yes , you do . you do . victoria : i 've never been more at peace . victor : well , that explains why you have stayed away from us for so long . i 'm sure victoria and nicholas did n't always appreciate my maternal style . when i disapproved of their choices , i did n't hesitate to let them know . nikki : would you rather i lie ? would you rather i just walk around singing her praises when you know i have serious questions about her background and about her intentions ? nick : oh , right . that 's right , you think sharon 's after the newman fortune . so you think that 's my appeal . nikki : i never said that . but whether you like it or not , you are gon na run into girls who are gon na want to exploit you . nick : you know , mom , you 're doing wonders for my ego . nikki : you ... sharon : [ gasps , screams ] nikki : ... are a whore ! you tramp ! sharon : you ... nikki : do n't you touch me . sharon : ... are a dried - up drunk . why do n't you mount one of victor 's clydesdales and ride on over to jimmy 's ? nikki : oh , oh , oh . that 's a good one , sharon . yeah , and give you an opportunity to jump in the hay with victor and earn another horse ! sharon : well , you do n't have enough in the tank to earn yourself a donkey -- heehaw ! nikki : you have nothing ! get off this ranch ! sharon : bessie , would you like some hay ? nikki : you shut your mouth ! sharon : [ screaming ] but there were also times when i saw they were happy , so i stayed quiet and tried to support them . nikki : victor , let me ask you something . victor : yeah . nikki : are your feelings about this strictly based on billy and your worry for victoria , or simply that billy is an abbott ? victor : both . nikki : well , i hate to tell you this , but i think victoria has been happier than she 's ever been , and if billy is the same , i do n't know that we 're ever gon na get her back . when you have children and hold those sweet babies in your arms , nothing will ever come close to the joy you feel . nikki : hi , angel . yes , you 're gon na get christened today . [ gasps ] yeah . victor : i 'm not late , am i ? nikki : oh , no . we just got here . kevin 's parking the car , and i wanted to get the baby warm inside . wait till you see the baby . does n't she look like a little angel ? look , honey ! look who 's here ! look ! and that feeling never goes away . neither does the desire for them to be happy and healthy and safe . a deep need to protect them at any cost because their lives are more important to you than your own . nikki : [ sobbing ] my baby pwas fighting for her life . i 'm her mother . i am her mother . i reached for whatever was closest , and i swung it as hard as i could . they are a part of you forever , heart and soul , and when they have children of their own , your heart just grows larger because you have even more love to give . more than you ever dreamed possible , and that is life 's greatest gift . i ca n't tell you who i am or what i witnessed , when katherine died , i was in shock . nikki : let me know that you 've got an empty hole inside of you that will never be filled again ! yell , scream , throw something ! i want to know that you are as devastated as i am that you did n't get to say goodbye to your best friend in the world ! my best friend ... in the world ... i do n't have her anymore . she 's gone . i 'm so lost , victor . and we were n't finished ! we were n't finished ! i needed to talk to her one last time . [ sobbing ] she was like a second mother to me , best friend , mentor , confidant all rolled into one . katherine : welcome to my home , ms . reed . nikki : you 're -- you 're katherine chancellor ? katherine : the one and only . and you 're nikki reed . nikki : uh , the one and only . this was a woman who always said `` i 'm gon na live till i die . `` and , boy , did she . right up until the very end . katherine : did you pour liberally ? nikki : you mean did i try and get him drunk ? katherine : i know it 's always a last resort , and , unfortunately , when a man has drunk enough to drown his inhibitions , he has usually drowned his ability to perform , as well . nikki : well , i could lie to him and say he did . i mean , after the ice is broken , who cares ? katherine : no , somehow , i really do n't think victor would respond to that tactic . nikki : [ sighs ] i wish there was some way that i could -- katherine : seduce him . but with honest . nikki : if he would just it happen , katherine . if he 'd let down his defenses ... katherine : yes , well , a man like victor is on the defense every waking hour . nikki : yeah . katherine : so you catch him napping -- literally . nikki : what do you mean ? katherine : attack when he 's asleep . nikki : you mean , actually sneak into his bed when he 's asleep ? katherine : mm - hmm , yeah , i mean , unless he 's getting -- i mean , you know , having sex somewhere else . nikki : oh , no , i 'm sure he 's not . katherine : well , i , uh ... i presume you 're very good at it . nikki : at what ? katherine : love - making . however , if you do need to brush up ... nikki : uh , no , uh , i -- i think i 'll be fine . i have n't had any complaints . katherine : no , no , nikki . what i am suggesting -- that you might have to be a bit more aggressive than you 've had to be . i mean , uh , there are certain , well , you know , procedures -- nikki : katherine , i -- i know . i know , i know . katherine : i felt you did . well , it never hurts to refresh one 's memory . i can still hear her reminding me in that gravelly voice of hers -- `` there 's a time for crying , but then you 've got to wipe away your tears and appreciate all that you still have , and , whatever you do , never , ever take the people you care about for granted . katherine : it is so wonderful to have you out of that hospital , back in your own home , and headed for a full recovery . nikki : i ca n't thank you enough . katherine : oh ... nikki : for all of your prayers , being there for me and my family . katherine : [ chuckles ] nikki : you truly are my dearest , dearest friend . katherine : [ laughing ] oh ! all right , how are you feeling now , hmm ? nikki : well , how do i look ? katherine : well , it looks like you 're counting the days until you 're 100 % again so you can climb in your car , head into town , and go on a marathon shopping spree . nikki : [ laughs ] you know me so well . katherine : mm - hmm . so , this is me letting you know just how much i appreciate you . each and every one of you grandkids make me realize how blessed i truly am . nikki : i would give anything in the world to have you back . anything . it would be worth dying just to be with you again . victor : you must n't think of destroying yourself . you do n't have to . i 'm back now . nikki : oh , god . oh , god . i 'm -- i 'm dreaming . this is a dream .

zende : so you say it 's nothing major , whatever 's wrong with lizzy 's adoption papers . rick : it 's just a few clerical errors . we need to get new signatures from all the parties , stipulating the original agreement holds . zende : i see . rick : maya and i , we 've already signed . we just need nicole 's signature , and this should all be wrapped up today . maya : what do you mean , you wo n't sign the adoption papers ? nicole : i ca n't . maya : of course , you can . nicole , it 's -- it 's a done deal . it was decided long ago . lizzy : ma - ma - ma - ma ! nicole : i just , uh ... i -- i do n't know what to do . maya : i do n't know what the hesitation is . but what is wrong ? just sign the papers . i -- i am confused . i do n't know what 's going on . nicole : i ... i need more time . maya : for what ? i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to snap . but i do n't know why you need more time . it 's just a formality . lizzy is my daughter . sign the papers . julius : hey ! carter . carter : hey ! julius : listen , i was looking for nicole . have you seen her ? carter : oh , no , i just got here . julius : oh , okay . i figured i 'd take my little girl to lunch . carter : you know , she might be with maya . yeah , they have to sign some legal papers . julius : nothing serious , i hope . carter : oh , no . technicalities . but , by the way , you 're family now , so if you need legal advice or services , you come to me , okay ? julius : i really appreciate that . but getting back to these papers , um , what 's the dispute between my daughters ? carter : oh , no , it 's nothing like that . it 's just clerical errors concerning lizzy 's adoption , is all . [ cell phone chimes ] carter : just one second . i 'm so sorry . julius : these clerical errors around lizzy 's adoption -- is it something i should be concerned about ? carter : oh , no , not at all . look , these things happen . sometimes the `` t `` does n't get crossed . you inform the parties , you make the correction , they sign off . everything will be squared away once nicole adds her signature . rick : you know , maya and i will never stop being grateful to nicole . zende : i know . rick : you know , it 's humbling , the level of sacrifice carrying a baby for her sister , and then giving her to us so that maya and i could have a family . i know that you and nicole are having difficulties starting one of your own , but it will happen , zende . you just got to be patient . nicole will give you that precious gift of a child . just like she did us . maya : i do n't know what 's going on , but i know this is n't you . talk to me . why is there suddenly a problem signing these adoption papers ? nicole : it 's just so unexpected . i thought the adoption was finalized , that it was legally binding . maya : i - it is finalized . there were just a few errors , so we 've corrected them , and now we just need to sign off on it . nicole : i thought it was over . that i could n't ... even if i just -- it was done . maya : you 're not making sense , nicole . hey , you can be straight with me , honey . what 's going on here ? nicole : while you were in paris , i spent all that time with lizzy . and she is the best , sweetest little girl , and i love her so much . maya : i know you do . i know . nicole : the way that she looks at me , and the way that she feels in my arms ... maya : nicole , what exactly are you saying ? maya : let 's , um ... let 's just back up a little bit . i know you are going through a really tough time , nicole , and i feel for you . i do . nicole : i know . maya : and -- and i honestly believe that it 's going to work out and that you are gon na be pregnant . it might take a minute , but this has nothing to do with lizzy 's adoption . rick and i are her parents , and we have been since conception . nicole : i understand that . but ... i am feeling so many things right now , and there are so many thoughts going around in my head , and i do n't know what to trust anymore . maya : it 's okay . it 's okay , nicole . we 're all here for you . nicole : i 'm trying to be a good person , maya , and do the right thing , but what that is , i do n't know , so i am sorry , but i ca n't sign those papers right now . maya : okay . okay . okay . i 'm just gon na , um ... i 'm gon na leave these papers here with you so that you have them when you 're ready . but please do n't take too long . we need to get this settled . zende : hey . coco : oh ! hey , zende . um , i was just gon na go looking for you . zende : oh , yeah ? why ? coco : nothing , really . i , uh , just had an interesting conversation with nicole earlier . zende : you know , i got to say , i 'm happy you guys are good friends . she needs some support from us right now . she 's going through a lot . coco : yeah , i -- she told me . i 'm sorry . and hopefully it 's nothing and everything will work out . zende : yeah . i 'm sure it will . so , why were you looking for me ? coco : um ... actually , it was about nicole and that conversation , but ... you know , i -- i really do n't know if i should be talking to you about this . i do n't want to betray any of her trust . zende : what 's going on ? coco : okay , i 'm -- i 'm only telling you this because i 'm -- i 'm actually really concerned about her . zende : okay . coco : i 'm just -- i 'm a little worried about nicole 's relationship with rick and maya 's daughter . rick : there you are ! right on time . i 'm just wrapping things up . maya : right on time for what ? rick : i will see you in l.a. all right . right on time for this . what 's the matter ? maya : i was just with nicole . rick : where 's the adoption papers ? maya , what happened ? julius : hey ! there she is . i 've been looking for you . thought i 'd take my little girl to get some lunch . nicole : thanks , but i 'm not hungry . julius : you 've been with maya . nicole : why would you say that ? julius : well , i ran into carter . he said that there was some ... clerical glitch with lizzy 's adoption paperwork , and everybody had to sign off on it ? nicole : yep . julius : so , uh , until you sign the papers , then the adoption is n't legally valid . nicole : it 's just a formality . julius : is it ? coco : this possible infertility issue is really messing with nicole , and i feel like she 's starting to spiral because of it . like , one minute she 's saying that rick and maya are lizzy 's parents , and then the next , she 's saying that she feels like giving up lizzy was a mistake . and i 'm just -- i - i 'm worried about her . zende : yeah . nicole has always been so controlled , you know , in check with her feelings . coco : right . zende : but ever since she met with those doctors , it 's like her emotions have been all over the place , and now she has to relive this whole adoption thing all over again . coco : wait , what -- what do you mean ? zende : well , there was some clerical mistakes , i guess , on the adoption papers . so everyone has to sign a new set to technically make the adoption legal . coco : well , that 's just what nicole needs , now that all these feelings are surfacing . zende : yeah . but , you know what , we 're gon na be fine . that 's why she 's got me . i 'm her rock . nicole 's always been so strong . she likes to do things herself . that 's part of the reason i fell in love with her . but no one should have to go through something like this alone , and she wo n't . i 'll be there every step of the way . rick : where are the adoption papers ? maya : i had to leave them with nicole . i had no choice . rick : i do n't understand . what happened ? maya : nicole is a wreck . she needs time . rick : time ? maya : yes . the thought that she might not be able to have children , the time that she spent with lizzy while we were away , the fact that we were away -- all of that is weighing on her . rick : okay , you lost me at `` had no choice . `` why ? we sign the adoption papers and we go on with our life as usual ! maya : nicole could n't sign them . julius : you do n't have to pretend to be strong and put up a front in front of me to protect your sister . i can see that you 're struggling . i just want to help wherever i can . nicole : it 's like ... it 's like i 've been hit at all once . i mean , everything was fine . i was happy ... grounded ... married to zende ... ... and lizzy 's aunt . and then the doctors -- they both said that i was damaged inside , that i might not ever be able to have another child . and i know how much zende wants a family , and i know that he 'd be such a great dad , and i want a chance to be a real mother . everybody keeps saying it 'll happen , but what if it does n't ? what if lizzy 's my only chance to be a mother ? and i love her so much . julius : i know . i see the way you care for her . nicole : i just want to keep her with me . all the time . but then , at the same time , i was mad at rick and maya for leaving her , and these feelings just do n't make any sense . julius : and that 's why they 're called feelings and not rational thoughts . you 're concerned because she 's your daughter . nicole : she 's maya 's , too . julius : no , nicole . not maya 's because maya did n't carry her in her belly for 9 months . you did . you 're lizzy 's mother . and now -- now the adoption papers are n't even legal . you think that 's a coincidence ? i mean , these things do n't happen for no good reason . nicole : i ca n't -- i ca n't listen to this . julius : no , no , no . i see the way you react with her , and i see the way she responds to you , and i recognize that bond . do you know why ? because i 've seen it with my wife and our children . children know who their mother is . lizzy knows you 're her mother . lizzy : ma - ma - ma - ma ! rick : i ca n't believe what i 'm hearing . nicole wo n't sign . maya : no , i 'm sure she will . like i said , she just needs time . rick : this should n't even be a question . maya : rick , my sister is going through a very challenging time . she is processing news that could change her whole life . i feel terrible for her ! rick : yeah , so do i , but to refuse to sign the adoption papers ... maya : she did n't refuse . rick : lizzy is our daughter ! maya : i know , rick ! i know , and i am frustrated , too ! but i do n't want to push her . look , i have to believe that this is n't nicole and that -- and that she 's just fragile and that she 'll come around because anything else is unthinkable . rick : you 're damn straight , it is . under any other circumstances , i would handle nicole with kid gloves . i 'd let her work through whatever she needed to work through , but this is lizzy we 're talking about ! this is our legal right to our child ! under no circumstances should nicole hesitate on her part . [ scoffs ] maya : wait . wait , where are you going ? rick : i 'm gon na get those papers signed . julius : nicole , you are a natural mother . nicole : dad , stop . this is not what i need to hear right now . julius : no . no , this is exactly what you need to hear right now . do you think all of this is not happening for a reason , that all of a sudden lizzy 's adoption is not as official as everyone thought it was ? this is nature reasserting itself . you are lizzy 's mother . and maya and rick can think otherwise if they want to . nicole : dad -- julius : it does n't change the fact . nicole : stop . julius : do n't sign those papers , nicole . do n't do it . coco : you can count on me , okay ? nicole 's gon na need all the love and support that she can get . zende : good . i appreciate you confiding in me . do n't worry . i wo n't tell nicole anything , but it 's good to know what she 's thinking . coco : cool . yeah , thanks . zende : she 's really lucky to have you as a friend . i mean that . someone who knows she needs to be treated sensitively , with understanding and compassion . coco : mm - hmm . zende : the last thing my wife needs right now is pressure . rick : sign them . do you have any idea what you 've done to your sister ? nicole : maya ? i -- no . rick : she 's covering like she always does . she 's giving you the benefit of the doubt , but i know my wife . you scared the hell out of her . what kind of game you playing ? nicole : it 's not a game , rick . i did n't mean to scare maya . i just -- rick : look , since day 1 -- since lizzy was born , maya and i , we have been her constants . we are the ones that make her feel safe and secure . her parents . every day . week after week . month after month . we 're lizzy 's world ! have you even thought about her once ? nicole : have i even thought about lizzy ? yes , rick ! that is all i have been doing ! i love that little girl with everything that i have . you do n't know what it 's like to carry her with you , to feel her growing , moving , and kicking inside of you ! i do ! and then i gave her away ! and now i find out that i may never be able to have another child ... rick : okay , i understand you 're going through a lot right now , and it 's scary . you and zende had beautiful plans for a future that involves family , but that may still happen . the doctors said you may have fertility issues . and miracles happen . we know that they do . and no matter what the outcome , you got to know that your sister and i , we are gon na be there for you , we are gon na support you , we 're gon na love you through it because we 're your family ! but one thing you have to understand is no matter what you 're struggling with right now , it has zero to do with lizzy . nothing ! i am that little girl 's father . maya 's her mother . that 's been the consensus from the very beginning . so what you need to do is you need to do the right thing , and you need to sign these papers . nicole : rick ... rick : do n't you understand how much i love that little girl ? that 's our child ! i mean , the sun sets and rises around lizzy , and now you want threaten it by taking her away from me ? no , i 'm gon na tell you something right now , nicole . that 's not gon na happen ! that 's never gon na happen ! | rick explains to zende that it is just a formality that nicole needs to sign new papers for the adoption . he knows they have been trying to have their own child , and it may take time but nicole will give him that child . nicole tells maya that she can not sign ; she needs more time . maya does not understand . lizzy is her daughter so just sign the papers . nicole said she thought this was all done . but the entire time maya was in paris all she thought about was lizzy and taking care of her the way she feels in her arms . maya says they need to dial back . she knows nicole wants her own child but this has nothing to do with this adoption . nicole says she has so many thoughts in her head right now and she wants to do the right thing but right now she needs more time . maya backs off and says okay she will give her that time but please do not wait too long . julius runs into carter at forrester creations while looking for nicole . carter says he just got there but nicole may be in with maya . they have some legal papers to sign . carter tells him there is nothing to worry about .just some t 's to be crossed . coco tells zende that she had a conversation with nicole and she is a little worried about her with maya 's baby . nicole now thinks giving up lizzy may have been a mistake . zende says he understands . now there is some clerical error and she will be going through all of this again . but he 's the rock and they will get through this . she will not go through this alone . | <s>[INST] zende : so you say it 's nothing major , whatever 's wrong with lizzy 's adoption papers . rick : it 's just a few clerical errors . we need to get new signatures from all the parties , stipulating the original agreement holds . zende : i see . rick : maya and i , we 've already signed . we just need nicole 's signature , and this should all be wrapped up today . maya : what do you mean , you wo n't sign the adoption papers ? nicole : i ca n't . maya : of course , you can . nicole , it 's -- it 's a done deal . it was decided long ago . lizzy : ma - ma - ma - ma ! nicole : i just , uh ... i -- i do n't know what to do . maya : i do n't know what the hesitation is . but what is wrong ? just sign the papers . i -- i am confused . i do n't know what 's going on . nicole : i ... i need more time . maya : for what ? i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to snap . but i do n't know why you need more time . it 's just a formality . lizzy is my daughter . sign the papers . julius : hey ! carter . carter : hey ! julius : listen , i was looking for nicole . have you seen her ? carter : oh , no , i just got here . julius : oh , okay . i figured i 'd take my little girl to lunch . carter : you know , she might be with maya . yeah , they have to sign some legal papers . julius : nothing serious , i hope . carter : oh , no . technicalities . but , by the way , you 're family now , so if you need legal advice or services , you come to me , okay ? julius : i really appreciate that . but getting back to these papers , um , what 's the dispute between my daughters ? carter : oh , no , it 's nothing like that . it 's just clerical errors concerning lizzy 's adoption , is all . [ cell phone chimes ] carter : just one second . i 'm so sorry . julius : these clerical errors around lizzy 's adoption -- is it something i should be concerned about ? carter : oh , no , not at all . look , these things happen . sometimes the `` t `` does n't get crossed . you inform the parties , you make the correction , they sign off . everything will be squared away once nicole adds her signature . rick : you know , maya and i will never stop being grateful to nicole . zende : i know . rick : you know , it 's humbling , the level of sacrifice carrying a baby for her sister , and then giving her to us so that maya and i could have a family . i know that you and nicole are having difficulties starting one of your own , but it will happen , zende . you just got to be patient . nicole will give you that precious gift of a child . just like she did us . maya : i do n't know what 's going on , but i know this is n't you . talk to me . why is there suddenly a problem signing these adoption papers ? nicole : it 's just so unexpected . i thought the adoption was finalized , that it was legally binding . maya : i - it is finalized . there were just a few errors , so we 've corrected them , and now we just need to sign off on it . nicole : i thought it was over . that i could n't ... even if i just -- it was done . maya : you 're not making sense , nicole . hey , you can be straight with me , honey . what 's going on here ? nicole : while you were in paris , i spent all that time with lizzy . and she is the best , sweetest little girl , and i love her so much . maya : i know you do . i know . nicole : the way that she looks at me , and the way that she feels in my arms ... maya : nicole , what exactly are you saying ? maya : let 's , um ... let 's just back up a little bit . i know you are going through a really tough time , nicole , and i feel for you . i do . nicole : i know . maya : and -- and i honestly believe that it 's going to work out and that you are gon na be pregnant . it might take a minute , but this has nothing to do with lizzy 's adoption . rick and i are her parents , and we have been since conception . nicole : i understand that . but ... i am feeling so many things right now , and there are so many thoughts going around in my head , and i do n't know what to trust anymore . maya : it 's okay . it 's okay , nicole . we 're all here for you . nicole : i 'm trying to be a good person , maya , and do the right thing , but what that is , i do n't know , so i am sorry , but i ca n't sign those papers right now . maya : okay . okay . okay . i 'm just gon na , um ... i 'm gon na leave these papers here with you so that you have them when you 're ready . but please do n't take too long . we need to get this settled . zende : hey . coco : oh ! hey , zende . um , i was just gon na go looking for you . zende : oh , yeah ? why ? coco : nothing , really . i , uh , just had an interesting conversation with nicole earlier . zende : you know , i got to say , i 'm happy you guys are good friends . she needs some support from us right now . she 's going through a lot . coco : yeah , i -- she told me . i 'm sorry . and hopefully it 's nothing and everything will work out . zende : yeah . i 'm sure it will . so , why were you looking for me ? coco : um ... actually , it was about nicole and that conversation , but ... you know , i -- i really do n't know if i should be talking to you about this . i do n't want to betray any of her trust . zende : what 's going on ? coco : okay , i 'm -- i 'm only telling you this because i 'm -- i 'm actually really concerned about her . zende : okay . coco : i 'm just -- i 'm a little worried about nicole 's relationship with rick and maya 's daughter . rick : there you are ! right on time . i 'm just wrapping things up . maya : right on time for what ? rick : i will see you in l.a. all right . right on time for this . what 's the matter ? maya : i was just with nicole . rick : where 's the adoption papers ? maya , what happened ? julius : hey ! there she is . i 've been looking for you . thought i 'd take my little girl to get some lunch . nicole : thanks , but i 'm not hungry . julius : you 've been with maya . nicole : why would you say that ? julius : well , i ran into carter . he said that there was some ... clerical glitch with lizzy 's adoption paperwork , and everybody had to sign off on it ? nicole : yep . julius : so , uh , until you sign the papers , then the adoption is n't legally valid . nicole : it 's just a formality . julius : is it ? coco : this possible infertility issue is really messing with nicole , and i feel like she 's starting to spiral because of it . like , one minute she 's saying that rick and maya are lizzy 's parents , and then the next , she 's saying that she feels like giving up lizzy was a mistake . and i 'm just -- i - i 'm worried about her . zende : yeah . nicole has always been so controlled , you know , in check with her feelings . coco : right . zende : but ever since she met with those doctors , it 's like her emotions have been all over the place , and now she has to relive this whole adoption thing all over again . coco : wait , what -- what do you mean ? zende : well , there was some clerical mistakes , i guess , on the adoption papers . so everyone has to sign a new set to technically make the adoption legal . coco : well , that 's just what nicole needs , now that all these feelings are surfacing . zende : yeah . but , you know what , we 're gon na be fine . that 's why she 's got me . i 'm her rock . nicole 's always been so strong . she likes to do things herself . that 's part of the reason i fell in love with her . but no one should have to go through something like this alone , and she wo n't . i 'll be there every step of the way . rick : where are the adoption papers ? maya : i had to leave them with nicole . i had no choice . rick : i do n't understand . what happened ? maya : nicole is a wreck . she needs time . rick : time ? maya : yes . the thought that she might not be able to have children , the time that she spent with lizzy while we were away , the fact that we were away -- all of that is weighing on her . rick : okay , you lost me at `` had no choice . `` why ? we sign the adoption papers and we go on with our life as usual ! maya : nicole could n't sign them . julius : you do n't have to pretend to be strong and put up a front in front of me to protect your sister . i can see that you 're struggling . i just want to help wherever i can . nicole : it 's like ... it 's like i 've been hit at all once . i mean , everything was fine . i was happy ... grounded ... married to zende ... ... and lizzy 's aunt . and then the doctors -- they both said that i was damaged inside , that i might not ever be able to have another child . and i know how much zende wants a family , and i know that he 'd be such a great dad , and i want a chance to be a real mother . everybody keeps saying it 'll happen , but what if it does n't ? what if lizzy 's my only chance to be a mother ? and i love her so much . julius : i know . i see the way you care for her . nicole : i just want to keep her with me . all the time . but then , at the same time , i was mad at rick and maya for leaving her , and these feelings just do n't make any sense . julius : and that 's why they 're called feelings and not rational thoughts . you 're concerned because she 's your daughter . nicole : she 's maya 's , too . julius : no , nicole . not maya 's because maya did n't carry her in her belly for 9 months . you did . you 're lizzy 's mother . and now -- now the adoption papers are n't even legal . you think that 's a coincidence ? i mean , these things do n't happen for no good reason . nicole : i ca n't -- i ca n't listen to this . julius : no , no , no . i see the way you react with her , and i see the way she responds to you , and i recognize that bond . do you know why ? because i 've seen it with my wife and our children . children know who their mother is . lizzy knows you 're her mother . lizzy : ma - ma - ma - ma ! rick : i ca n't believe what i 'm hearing . nicole wo n't sign . maya : no , i 'm sure she will . like i said , she just needs time . rick : this should n't even be a question . maya : rick , my sister is going through a very challenging time . she is processing news that could change her whole life . i feel terrible for her ! rick : yeah , so do i , but to refuse to sign the adoption papers ... maya : she did n't refuse . rick : lizzy is our daughter ! maya : i know , rick ! i know , and i am frustrated , too ! but i do n't want to push her . look , i have to believe that this is n't nicole and that -- and that she 's just fragile and that she 'll come around because anything else is unthinkable . rick : you 're damn straight , it is . under any other circumstances , i would handle nicole with kid gloves . i 'd let her work through whatever she needed to work through , but this is lizzy we 're talking about ! this is our legal right to our child ! under no circumstances should nicole hesitate on her part . [ scoffs ] maya : wait . wait , where are you going ? rick : i 'm gon na get those papers signed . julius : nicole , you are a natural mother . nicole : dad , stop . this is not what i need to hear right now . julius : no . no , this is exactly what you need to hear right now . do you think all of this is not happening for a reason , that all of a sudden lizzy 's adoption is not as official as everyone thought it was ? this is nature reasserting itself . you are lizzy 's mother . and maya and rick can think otherwise if they want to . nicole : dad -- julius : it does n't change the fact . nicole : stop . julius : do n't sign those papers , nicole . do n't do it . coco : you can count on me , okay ? nicole 's gon na need all the love and support that she can get . zende : good . i appreciate you confiding in me . do n't worry . i wo n't tell nicole anything , but it 's good to know what she 's thinking . coco : cool . yeah , thanks . zende : she 's really lucky to have you as a friend . i mean that . someone who knows she needs to be treated sensitively , with understanding and compassion . coco : mm - hmm . zende : the last thing my wife needs right now is pressure . rick : sign them . do you have any idea what you 've done to your sister ? nicole : maya ? i -- no . rick : she 's covering like she always does . she 's giving you the benefit of the doubt , but i know my wife . you scared the hell out of her . what kind of game you playing ? nicole : it 's not a game , rick . i did n't mean to scare maya . i just -- rick : look , since day 1 -- since lizzy was born , maya and i , we have been her constants . we are the ones that make her feel safe and secure . her parents . every day . week after week . month after month . we 're lizzy 's world ! have you even thought about her once ? nicole : have i even thought about lizzy ? yes , rick ! that is all i have been doing ! i love that little girl with everything that i have . you do n't know what it 's like to carry her with you , to feel her growing , moving , and kicking inside of you ! i do ! and then i gave her away ! and now i find out that i may never be able to have another child ... rick : okay , i understand you 're going through a lot right now , and it 's scary . you and zende had beautiful plans for a future that involves family , but that may still happen . the doctors said you may have fertility issues . and miracles happen . we know that they do . and no matter what the outcome , you got to know that your sister and i , we are gon na be there for you , we are gon na support you , we 're gon na love you through it because we 're your family ! but one thing you have to understand is no matter what you 're struggling with right now , it has zero to do with lizzy . nothing ! i am that little girl 's father . maya 's her mother . that 's been the consensus from the very beginning . so what you need to do is you need to do the right thing , and you need to sign these papers . nicole : rick ... rick : do n't you understand how much i love that little girl ? that 's our child ! i mean , the sun sets and rises around lizzy , and now you want threaten it by taking her away from me ? no , i 'm gon na tell you something right now , nicole . that 's not gon na happen ! that 's never gon na happen !Summarize.[/INST]rick explains to zende that it is just a formality that nicole needs to sign new papers for the adoption . he knows they have been trying to have their own child , and it may take time but nicole will give him that child . nicole tells maya that she can not sign ; she needs more time . maya does not understand . lizzy is her daughter so just sign the papers . nicole said she thought this was all done . but the entire time maya was in paris all she thought about was lizzy and taking care of her the way she feels in her arms . maya says they need to dial back . she knows nicole wants her own child but this has nothing to do with this adoption . nicole says she has so many thoughts in her head right now and she wants to do the right thing but right now she needs more time . maya backs off and says okay she will give her that time but please do not wait too long . julius runs into carter at forrester creations while looking for nicole . carter says he just got there but nicole may be in with maya . they have some legal papers to sign . carter tells him there is nothing to worry about .just some t 's to be crossed . coco tells zende that she had a conversation with nicole and she is a little worried about her with maya 's baby . nicole now thinks giving up lizzy may have been a mistake . zende says he understands . now there is some clerical error and she will be going through all of this again . but he 's the rock and they will get through this . she will not go through this alone .</s> | 4,615 |

[ scene_break ] brody : i understand how ford feels about ryder . you know , when i found out liam was mine , everything changed . i had a son . and after losing ryder , i 'll never let anything happen to him . natalie : you miss him ? ryder . you know , when jessica was sick , you -- you took care of him . brody : he probably does n't even remember me . natalie : i would n't be so sure . brody : yeah , i miss him . natalie : i wonder if john misses liam . brody : you wanted john to be a part of liam 's life . he had his chance to be liam 's father . natalie : no , i know . i know , and i 'm -- i 'm very happy that liam has you . brody : i think i went too far when john and i got into it . i threw our wedding in his face . i told him he was only going after me because he was jealous . natalie : that makes sense . he practically accused you of murder . [ scene_break ] vimal : i ca n't believe this . you sent an innocent woman away for murder ? rama : that woman is far from innocent . okay , maybe i lied about her being a murderer , but -- but she definitely had a role to play in the crime . vimal : rama . rama : besides her history of extortion and -- and stealing my life savings , by the way . vimal : but what if she gets the death penalty ? t - there will be blood on these hands . rama : no , my hands are clean . the murder was deemed accidental . she 'll get one or two decades in prison at the most . vimal : rama , this ... this all sounds very -- very familiar . rama : familiar how ? vimal : have you forgotten the months i spent at statesville for a crime for which i was not solely responsible ? rama : yeah , of course , i remember . and every time i think about it , i die a little inside . and i intend to spend the rest of my life making it up to you . vimal : no , all is forgiven , my love , but how can you make the same mistake with cutter 's sister ? rama : because it 's entirely different , vimal . this is not an injustice . this is karma . kimberly andrews got away with far too many crimes . vimal : kimberly andrews ? the real aubrey wentworth . i - i just ca n't believe that you never told me that -- that your best friend was n't who she said she was . [ scene_break ] aubrey : rex ? rex : yeah . hey . did you find the stuff ? aubrey : yep . right where nigel left it . got to love those brits . so , you want to take care of that ? rex : promise not to hurt me . aubrey : well , i do n't know if i can promise . first thing you need to do is forget about cutter . i 'm trying to do the same thing . oh . come on . it 's not that bad . what happened to the badass that knocked out my partner in crime ? rex : well , can i make a confession ? this badass is a lousy patient . aubrey : you 're fine . you 're fine . it 's good . all better . rex : thanks . aubrey : [ british accent ] just do n't ask me for a lolly . [ normal voice ] uh , you look like you could use a distraction . you feel like tossing around ideas for your sister 's party ? rex : why not ? aubrey : all right . i wrote down some . just give me a second . they 're in my purse . rex : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] jessica : tina , what are you talking about ? gigi morasco is dead . tina : are you sure ? 'cause i think she 's right outside our front door . at least that 's who she said she was . jessica : i - i think that you misheard her . ford : yeah , maybe -- maybe it 's a - an old friend of hers or something . jessica : she 's coming by to pay her respects . tina : no , she said that was her name . jessica : tina , believe me , gigi morasco 's dead . i went to her funeral . i 've been to her grave at st. james cemetery . tina : well , that ca n't be right . jessica : tina , believe me . gigi morasco is dead and buried . [ scene_break ] rama : oh , vimal . i 'm really sorry i betrayed your trust ... again . vimal : i 'm in no position to look down . the secret i 'm keeping is just as terrible . rama : you did n't break any laws , vimal . vimal : i do n't think john mcbain will see it that way . but thank you . rama : for what ? vimal : for trusting me and for not judging me for staying silent . rama : vimal , it took me a long time to realize this -- maybe too long . but i know now that we 're stronger together than we could ever be apart . and i will always be by your side . vimal : ditto . rama : okay . so , now that we 've spilled our guts , what are we gon na do about it ? vimal : we need to ... tell john mcbain the truth . [ scene_break ] marcie : john , i - i did n't realize -- michael : okay , sorry to hear that , brother . marcie : yeah , me too . no one told us anything . michael : it makes sense that they 'd keep the mcbains out of the loop . i do n't really think that we 're gon na get invited to this wedding . john : hey , look , i 'm -- i 'm sorry to break this little thing up here , but , uh , i really do have some work to do before i call it a night . hey . heads up . michael : what is this for ? john : keys . make yourself comfortable at my place , okay ? michael : john , we 'll get a room from roxy . john : okay , so you can hang out there until , uh , until it 's ready , all right ? a bottle of jack says it 's gon na take a while . i 'll see you when i 'm done here . michael : [ clears throat ] john : okay ? michael : yeah . john : yeah . michael : hey , and it ... really is really good to see you . john : you too , bro . marcie : i 'm sorry about putting my foot in my mouth . michael : just -- marcie : i did -- i never would have said anything if i knew that natalie was engaged . michael : i know . i know . [ door closes ] john : [ scoffs ] my dumb brother . [ scene_break ] brody : let 's not talk about john anymore -- or jess , for that matter . natalie : sounds like a plan . brody : there are other things we should be discussing instead anyway . natalie : like what ? brody : like a certain special day coming up . try not to look too thrilled or excited . natalie : no , no , no , no . no , i 'm very excited about getting married . big wedding , on the other hand ... brody : given our history ? natalie : you could say that , yeah . but we 're in this together , huh ? brody : absolutely . natalie : good . then you can help me pick out ice sculptures . [ scene_break ] aubrey : all right . tequila floats might sound kind of trashy , but believe me , weddings make people pretty tense , and not just the bride , but the guests , too , so i figure we get them pretty liquored up right at the beginning , they 'll be good to go the rest of the night . besides , how else are we gon na get renee to play strip twister ? rex : right . wait , what ? aubrey : [ chuckles ] you were not even listening . rex : i 'm sorry . this is harder than i thought , getting brody and natalie their dream wedding . aubrey : it 's okay to be envious . rex : envious ? aubrey : yeah , of your sister and brody . you wanted to give gigi that kind of wedding . it 's totally normal what you 're feeling . i mean , when i used to see viki with jessica or natalie , i mean , it would just be , like , you know , mother and daughter , but it just reminded me of what i ... sorry . it 's not like you want to hear my sob story . rex : no . mine 's probably getting old , too . what is -- what is wrong with me ? i - i - i should be happy for brody and natalie , my sister . aubrey : you are . rex : [ sighs ] aubrey : you just miss the woman you love . [ scene_break ] tina : jessica , i know i was out of town when this woman died , but i swear to you , the woman at the front door says her name is gigi morasco . jessica : fine . okay . can you give me a second to deal with this ? ford : yeah . yeah , no problem . jessica : i 'll be right back .

[ scene_break ] rama : vimal , are you sure this is the best idea ? vimal : if we want to begin our new lives together completely unburdened , we have to confess what we know to the police . rama : no , no , no . i 'm not sure this is entirely true . listen , let 's talk about this . vimal : hello ? lieutenant mcbain ? detective ! it 's vimal patel ! rama : vimal , it looks like he 's not here . oh , well . vimal : wait , wait ! let me find some paper . i can leave him a note . rama : like that worked out so well for you last time . vimal : i know , but ... perhaps you 're right . it just seems like the right thing to do , clearing our consciences , starting fresh . rama : vimal , we are starting fresh . we opened up to each other . that 's a big step for us . vimal : it was , was n't it ? rama : and we ca n't continue to make big steps like that from behind bars , which is why i think this is fate telling us to just hold our tongues . maybe we just need to sleep over this before we make any rash decisions . vimal : i believe you 're right , my petal .

[ scene_break ] vimal : thought i should tell you , mr. lord , that i 'm not keeping your secret out of some sense of loyalty to you . you 're dead . and it 's not because officer lovett can be ... very intimidating , but ... the truth is that despite our many differences , i can see how much that man cares about his son . it 's remarkable . i can only hope that i feel the same way when rama and i have children of our own . but none of that matters , does it ? 'cause john mcbain still does n't know the truth . why did you curse me with this horrible secret ? rama : what horrible secret ? vimal : aaaaah ! oh .

[ scene_break ] aubrey : all right . tequila floats might sound kind of trashy , but believe me , weddings make people pretty tense , and not just the bride , but the guests , too , so i figure we get them pretty liquored up right at the beginning , they 'll be good to go the rest of the night . besides , how else are we gon na get renee to play strip twister ? rex : right . wait , what ? aubrey : [ chuckles ] you were not even listening . rex : i 'm sorry . this is harder than i thought , getting brody and natalie their dream wedding . aubrey : it 's okay to be envious . rex : envious ? aubrey : yeah , of your sister and brody . you wanted to give gigi that kind of wedding . it 's totally normal what you 're feeling . i mean , when i used to see viki with jessica or natalie , i mean , it would just be , like , you know , mother and daughter , but it just reminded me of what i ... sorry . it 's not like you want to hear my sob story . rex : no . mine 's probably getting old , too . what is -- what is wrong with me ? i - i - i should be happy for brody and natalie , my sister . aubrey : you are . rex : [ sighs ] aubrey : you just miss the woman you love .

jack : [ sighing ] oh , yes . right there . gloria : uh - huh . [ knock on door ] michael : excuse me . gloria : back so soon ? jack : i thought we covered everything . michael : we did . i ... i have the new amendments we talked about typed up for you . jack : well , i appreciate that . thank you . gloria : thank you , michael . may i show you out ? michael : no , that 's all right . i 'm sorry . am i supposed to pretend i did n't just see what i just saw ? lauren : [ sobs ] scott . oh ! [ doorbell rings ] lauren : [ sniffles ] [ gasps ] paul . paul : hi , hi , hi , hi . i got here as soon as i could . lauren : [ sighs ] paul : all right , i have been on with your cell carrier . they ran a trace . lauren : okay . who 's behind this ? who 's got my son ? ! [ knock on door ] [ door opens ] phyllis : yoo - hoo ! ravi : [ gasps ] phyllis : sorry . it 's just me . i did n't mean to scare you . ravi : hey , phyllis . phyllis : hey , look , i know that we did not have an official appointment , but we did talk about meeting once more before the virtual dressing room app rolls out tomorrow . ravi : oh , yeah , we -- we did . phyllis : yeah , and since the beta testing has gone so well , it 's not gon na be that difficult , but ... did i catch you at a bad time ? ravi : kind of , but it -- it 's fine . stay . phyllis , we -- we have an enormous , horrible , awful problem . nikki : hi , honey ! reed : hi , grandma . um , mom 's in her office . i 'll go get her for you . nikki : no , not necessary . i actually came to see you . reed : really ? nikki : hundo p . reed : [ chuckles ] nikki : and that 's what the kids are saying now , right ? reed : yeah , 100 % . [ chuckles ] nikki : do you know how to read music ? reed : not really , but , um , if it 's tabbed out or if there 's chords , i can normally figure it out . nikki : great . take that . maybe , uh , we could play another duet . reed : oh , totally . that 'd be really cool . nikki : i think it would be fantastic . reed : [ chuckles ] nikki : after the video that noah sent me of you performing , i was so amazed by it . i mean , i can honestly tell people that my grandson is an underground hit . reed : oh , well , that -- i mean , that was really rough . i did n't even have time to practice or anything . nikki : are you kidding ? it was fantastic ! [ scoffs ] whatever it was you were doing , just keep doing that . victoria : yeah , go ahead , reed . why do n't you tell her how you pulled off open mic on a school night at a bar ? phyllis : okay , whatever the issue is , i am gon na help you solve it . this app has so many moving parts , problems are bound to come up . ravi : but we had it . that 's what i 'm trying to tell you . look , i fixed every glitch that came up in beta , troubleshot every conceivable error . we are literally prepared for everything except success . phyllis : how long have you been caged up in here ? 'cause you 're not making any sense , man . ravi : the traffic , phyllis . due to your masterful social media saturation , the numbers have been multiplying all day . once we launch , if there is any kind of influx in the amount of visitors ... phyllis : are you talking about slow load times ? ravi : i wish that was all . we just built a high - speed , state - of - the - art spaceship that seats 10 , and somehow 1,000 people managed to cram themselves on right before takeoff . phyllis : so you 're saying it 's gon na crash and burn . ravi : exactly . so i made a short list for you to approve . one -- optimized code . two -- reduced number of plug - ins . three -- streamline server configuration . phyllis : okay . ravi : four -- no , i know what you 're gon na say . minimize dependency requests . god , that should have been 3b ! phyllis : hold up ! take a breath . i think the best thing we can do right now is postpone the launch . ravi : that 's not an option ! is it ? is that an option ? phyllis : it may be our only option . lauren : the call came from the middle east ? that 's it ? you said they traced it , and that 's all they have ? ! paul : lauren , we are dealing with people that are very sophisticated about eluding any kind of -- of trace or surveillance . i know it 's not what you want to hear . lauren : no ! what i want to hear is the state department is taking this seriously and they 're going to find my son ! paul : i spoke with my contact . they 're making it a top priority . but they have to go through the proper channels , okay ? and unfortunately , we do n't have a lot of information off of them . lauren : this is the u.s. state department . it is their job to protect americans abroad ! now , they have to help us ! paul : okay . they know of scott 's work . but he was n't in contact with them . lauren : [ sighs ] paul : so they have no idea where he was going or who he was meeting with . lauren : this is so unlike him . he 's not new to this . he knew the dangers . why ? why was he so careless ? paul : you know , lauren , maybe there was no time . it 's possible he could have stumbled upon a story and he felt he needed to pursue it . lauren : right , and now he 's being held in the middle east by god knows who , and they want $ 10 million to keep him alive ! paul : honey , i know how terrified you are right now . lauren : we 're gon na pay the ransom . [ sniffles ] we have no other choice . paul : i know how desperate and helpless you feel . but i think that paying the ransom could be a terrible mistake . jack : this damn rotator cuff , it has been years . a skiing accident . somehow i never got any better . i 'm sure i told you and lauren about this . michael : i do n't think you did . i would have referred you to my orthopedist . jack : well , i may still take you up on that . this shoulder just keeps freezing up . you know what ? i should have had the surgery when i had the accident , but , you know , then you dedicate a whole summer to recovery . michael : you were skiing , you said ? gloria : water skiing , michael . jack slalomed better than anybody up at the lake back in his day . michael : [ chuckles ] i did not know that . jack : it 's been a long time . gloria , thank you again . you 've been a great help . your magic fingers have once again saved me from having to sleep in this chair . michael : is finger magic a frequent part of your secretarial duties ? gloria : a top executive assistant needs to be versatile . michael : yes , but it 's you we 're talking about . gloria : oh , for heaven sakes , michael . i could n't leave jack paralyzed . and besides , that 's the arm he signs the paychecks with . jack : gloria , thank you . you 've been a great help . have a good evening . gloria : thank you , mr. abbott . i 'm on my way . i will make that last call to , uh , accounting , though . goodbye , michael . jack : well , thank you for dropping these papers by , counselor . can i walk you out ? michael : oh , no . nobody has to walk me out . in fact , i 'm just going to stay here until you explain what the hell all this is about . jack : your mother needed a job . i hired her as my assistant . is that so outrageous ? michael : yes , it is . there is no one on this planet you despise more than gloria , and i assure you , the loathing is mutual . or at least it was the last time i checked . of course , that was before i saw her whole masseuse routine . jack : i thought i explained all of this to you , michael . michael : no , you did n't . in fact , it would have been less bizarre to see victor newman here taking dictation in a pencil skirt ! what the hell is going on , jack ? what are your intentions with my mother ? jack : my intentions ? really ? [ british accent ] lord baldwin , sir , i pray you . i desire the fair maid gloria 's hand in matrimony . michael : i 'm not talking about romantic intentions . that would be ... you two hate each other . jack : [ normal voice ] as they grow older and wiser , sometimes people actually change . michael : and sometimes they just revert back to their old selves , their old , calculating , vengeful selves . jack : are we talking about your mother now or me ? michael : we 're talking about you setting her up for some kind of twisted reprisal . i certainly hope that 's not the case here . jack : no , of course not . and you would have me prove that how ? by firing her ? that seems terribly cruel , do n't you think ? michael : everything 's relative . jack : i suppose you could always put her on your payroll . michael : [ chuckles ] now , jack , let 's not misconstrue . naturally , i am pleased that gloria seems to have found a job that makes her happy . i 'm not looking to sabotage that . i just have a great deal of reasonable doubt that your actions are motivated by kindness . jack : guilty as charged , counselor . partially . and this is where it gets a little dicey because , of course , you are lauren 's husband . but your mother helped me a great deal in acquiring fenmore 's for jabot . i owe her . and i pay my debts . michael : that makes a little more sense . phyllis : i ca n't , you know , get into the details , but it 's a family issue . and lauren just needs to focus on that right now . ravi : sounds serious . phyllis : it is . ravi : well , she 's lucky to have a friend like you . i mean , you seem great in crisis . phyllis : usually i am . but this time i got nothing . i try to distract her with work , and it just -- that was a bust . you know , it 's just -- it 's tough when you ca n't find a way to help a best friend , you know ? ravi : sometimes when we ca n't solve the problem , we can find other things that might bring joy . phyllis : like what ? ravi : it just reminds me of this one time years ago when i was a boy . you know , we should get back to work . i do n't want to bore you . phyllis : you do not bore me at all . ravi : [ sighs ] when i was 9 , my dad took me to india to meet my uncle nikhil . he 's my dad 's favorite brother . my whole life , i 'd heard what a joyful , dynamic man he was , but ... when his wife died suddenly , all the happiness left him . she was his world . he was so sad . it broke our hearts 'cause it felt like there was nothing that we could do to help . uncle nikhil had started building this beautiful wall made out of a clay that he -- that he handmade . it was to be a gift for his wife to surround the garden that she 'd always wanted . but , um , when she died , he never finished it . uncle nikhil said he never would . it was for her , and she was gone , and nothing could ever bring her back . so my dad and i got clay , made bricks , and put them out in the sun to bake and started building . after awhile , neighbors started to help , and pretty soon , we -- we finished his beautiful creation . when he saw it , he wept . and then he asked my dad and i to help him plant the garden to honor his wife . to this day , he still tends to that garden . phyllis : that 's a beautiful story . ravi : let 's build a wall for lauren . i mean , maybe we ca n't help her with her problem , but we can finish the application , make sure it 's launched on time , give her something good to hold on to . now , that we actually can do for your friend . phyllis : what are we waiting for ? paul : if you pay this ransom , it could result in furthering their extortion . and it will not necessarily mean that scott is released . lauren : you know something ? out of everyone , i really thought that you could help me out of this nightmare . and that 's why i called you . but if this is your idea of help ... paul : i 'm sorry . you know , i have a son , too . i know what it 's like to fear for him . lauren : this is not the same . this is not dylan on an undercover assignment . my son is a writer , not a trained cop with a gun . paul : yeah , well , dylan is not on assignment anymore . i do n't know where he is or what he 's doing . lauren : he decided to turn his back on you and everyone else . my son 's life is in danger ! this is not the same ! paul : [ sighs ] reed : i thought we were actually communicating . she fed me this whole speech on how she understood my dreams and she wanted me to follow my passions . victoria : yeah , and that translated into sneak out of the house and go to a bar . reed : well , it did n't mean anything , because obviously she does n't care about my dreams or my passions . victoria : huh . that 's funny . i guess he forgot the part where he was grounded for a month . reed : god . victoria : and he just blew it off . reed : that 's all that 's important to her . now i 'm being punished for two months . victoria : oh , well , i think his dreams will survive that . pretty sure . reed : as if she cares . grandma , i 'm sorry , but i guess i 'll just practice this in six weeks . victoria : [ sighs ] nikki : two months is forever to a teenager . victoria : mom , please do n't say that i 'm being too strict , because i 've already gotten enough of that from billy . nikki : i 'm not saying that , but i 'm curious about what he did . was he drinking at the underground ? victoria : no , because nicholas was there , thankfully . nikki : well , then it seems like reed really was there just to pursue his passions . victoria : mom , he snuck out , and it 's not an isolated incident . it 's a pattern , and i 'm the one who has to put a stop to it . nikki : what kind of pattern ? victoria : lying , being sneaky , betraying my trust . nikki : okay , can you try to be a little more specific ? victoria : okay , sure . why do n't i tell you what kicked it all off ? he swiped my credit card and joined an online porn site . nikki : [ laughing ] oh , my god . well ... [ laughs ] nikki : [ laughs ] victoria : i 'm -- i 'm so glad that you think this is so hilarious , mom . nikki : honey , i think that it 's normal . every 15-year - old boy is curious about sex . victoria : he pretended to be 18 , and he took my credit card . and if i had n't checked my online statement , i 'd still be paying 45 bucks a month . nikki : all right , well , i 'm sorry about that . i 'm sure that was very embarrassing . victoria : thank you . nikki : he should n't have been using your card . victoria : i appreciate that . thank you for the concession . nikki : well , get some perspective , okay ? it 's not like he was cyber - bullying somebody or buying stuff to get high on . victoria : okay , well , i 'm just not okay with him looking at pornography . nikki : well , of course not . but you would be less okay if he were appearing in it . trust me . victoria : mom , i ca n't believe you 're bringing that up right now . that 's embarrassing . nikki : nobody else is going to . victoria : [ sighs ] nikki : you know why ? because when you decided to assert your independence and pose naked for some photos ... victoria : oh , my god . nikki : ... your parents went out and bought every last copy of that magazine , and we also bought the publishing company , which thankfully included the negatives . victoria : stupidest thing i 've ever done in my life , and i hope that my children never find out about that . nikki : well , i 'm certainly never gon na tell them . victoria : no , but you think i 'm a hypocrite . ravi : done . now the router will automatically pass the sql request to the db server . phyllis : whoo - whoo ! oh , my gosh . this is so much more functional . ravi : oh , no question . phyllis : you know , not only does your mind work at light speed . you clearly understand people as well you do computers . ravi : i wish , but remind me to get a letter of reference from you . phyllis : oh , you looking for a new job ? ravi : nope . just want to show it to my mom . [ both laugh ] phyllis : you know , seriously , lauren would have been so disappointed if we delayed this launch , which she does not need . thank you for convincing me to move forward with this . ravi : you think being so close emotionally , i mean , made it hard for you to know what to do ? phyllis : it 's a criticism i 've heard over and over again . ravi : i was n't criticizing you . phyllis : no , it 's okay . i 'm sure that you have heard plenty from ashley . ravi : well ... phyllis : i know , i know . the first time we had lunch when she caught me with you mid - poach . i mean , i 'm sure you heard all about my wicked ways and despicable failed marriage . ravi : actually , a few days ago , ashley said she has no problem with you and i being friends . phyllis : well , that is very civil of her . but it is not fair to you . you are dealing with two companies , two apps , and two women who are always on the verge of slapping one another . ravi : what about you and jack and the divorce ? before lauren hired you , i mean , that must have been rough . phyllis : insane . ravi : and now ? phyllis : well , we barely talk to one another , so that seems to be working . ravi : [ chuckles ] this is gon na sound really childish , but if everyone could just drop the drama , this work space would go from like an 8.5 to a 12 easy . out of a -- out of a possible 10 , you know . phyllis : yeah , it 's not childish . the drama is childish . ravi : should we get back to work ? phyllis : yes . is ashley here ? ravi : no , she 'll be back soon . phyllis : you know what ? i 'm gon na check in with jack quickly and get a drama- free update on the fenmore app and let him know that we 're gon na be working as long as it takes to launch this thing , even if it goes into the night . ravi : sounds good . phyllis : all right . jack : [ sighs ] [ knock on door ] jack : come in . you 're still here . gloria : yes , just wanted to check . any last minute , uh , tasks i can help you with ? jack : no , nothing at all . you 've put in a full day . gloria : all right , well , if anything comes up , um , i 'm available . jack : i appreciate that . gloria . gloria : yes ? jack : you handled that situation very well , michael 's untimely return . gloria : thank you . another successful exercise in teamwork . jack : agreed . but we have to start being a little more discreet . michael is not the only suspicious , inquisitive person walking through that door these days . gloria : true . but i do n't recall any complaints about your shiatsu treatment ... or anything else in this relationship . if that 's what it is . jack : i think we both know what this is and what it is n't . gloria : do we ? what do we call this arrangement ? frenemies with benefits ? jack : do we have to call it anything ? gloria : [ chuckles ] no . no , silly . but would it be so wrong if we did ? jack : are you really suggesting that we date , the two of us , in public ? gloria : [ laughs ] i think somebody 's ego needs some liposuction . jack : that sounds a little more familiar . [ cell phone rings ] phyllis : this is phyllis . hi , marie . yes , we are launching . thank you . cc ravi on that . that 's his call . gloria : no , i am not suggesting that we are or ever should be a couple , jack . but you got to admit , our interaction has changed a little bit , okay ? and it might make things easier if we admit it to ourselves and others that we have put our mutual vendetta ... to bed . jack : as long as that 's the only thing we 're putting to bed in this little confession . gloria : however we got here , [ sighs ] we 're a team , jack , here at jabot . and you know that i will never be satisfied being a receptionist . that does n't quite fit in with my ambitious plans . a woman with my skills , my passions could be of so much use in many ways ... to a creative , open - minded c.e.o . jack : i do know that working under me will not satisfy you in the long term . career - wise , at least . gloria : hmm . jack : no special treatment . you stay away from threats . you stay away from blackmail . you stay flexible and do as you 're told ... gloria : and you will make sure that i get everything i deserve . jack : i reward loyalty and hard work and devotion . you prove to me that i need you and you could well see a rapid gloria : a rapid rise . my favorite kind . [ chuckles ] see you later tonight -- rawr ! -- jack - uar . [ laughs ] jack : tonight 's not looking so good . gloria : [ sighs ] but it could look so much worse . you in that dusty , old mansion , me with my shiatsu technique ready to go ... and no one to practice on . jack : you do make a good point , but that near miss with your son , that was a little too close . i think we need to create a little more distance . i think you 'll agree . gloria : yeah , yeah , yeah , yeah , yeah . well , just in case you change your mind , i 'll make sure that everything stays turned on , okay ? the cell , the laptop , the webcam . ciao . [ laughs ] jack : phyllis . what can i do for you ? phyllis : i 'd like to talk about the line between professional and personal here at jabot if you have the time . victoria : thanks , mom . oh , you brought cookies . nikki : yeah , well , i 'm the grandma . it 's the law . and to answer your earlier question , i do not think you 're a hypocrite . victoria : i do . nikki : well , you should n't . all teenagers are gon na do crazy things , and their brains are n't even finished growing yet . victoria : mom , how am i gon na get through the next five years with reed and followed right after by johnny and katie ? nikki : you 're gon na do it with a lot of patience . victoria : i know . i see so many parents decide that it 's easier to be their friend , and once those lines get blurred , any control or respect that you thought you had is gone . nikki : yeah , well , i do n't agree with that way of parenting , either . if he does try to put you in the villain role , just do n't engage . victoria : i know you 're right . nikki : and , you know , i think this music thing could really be key . i mean , it 's a great diversion , music , for teenagers . it 'll eat up a lot of his time , and he truly is very talented . victoria : thank you . nikki : all right . i got to get going . you and reed will get through this . i promise . victoria : all right , mom , thank you . it was really helpful talking to you tonight . nikki : well , good . i 'm glad that you think so . and if things should get overwhelming again , just , uh , snapchat me , dude . victoria : oh , god . nikki : later . victoria : thanks , mom . bye . nikki : bye . [ door closes ] victoria : reed ! reed : what ? victoria : hey . um ... grandma brought some cookies . do you want one ? reed : sure . thanks . victoria : you know , i was thinking about ... i was remembering you were in the second grade and you took piano lessons . you always had sheet music trailing behind you . reed : i was probably trying to get rid of it . victoria : yeah , you hated practicing , did n't you ? reed : i did n't hate practicing . it was just the fact that my teacher only got the songs from that super sucky songbook . victoria : did you ever think about taking more lessons ? reed : nah . i think it 'd just mess with my flow . victoria : oh , well , you know , maybe with a different teacher and a less sucky songbook , it might help your ... flow free faster . [ chuckles ] reed : i mean , i guess , with the right teacher . victoria : what if i found somebody , you know , and i could get them to take you on ? reed : you 'd do that ? victoria : i told you , you know . if this is your passion , then i would like to help you see it through . reed : and you 're gon na pay for it , right ? victoria : [ sighs ] no , reed . i 'm not gon na stick you with the bill . reed : yeah , i 'm -- i 'm in . thank you . victoria : you 're welcome . there 's something i want you to do for me in return . paul : look , lauren , i am sorry if it felt like i was minimizing the situation this is for you and scott . and you 're right . the situations with our sons are completely different . in my heart , i just want you to make a good decision , the best one you possibly can under the circumstances . lauren : i know . i should n't have yelled at you . [ sighs ] i - i could n't do this without you . paul : hey . where else would i be ? lauren : okay . so tell me what you 'd be doing if this were dylan . paul : okay . we 're gon na make two calls -- one to my friend at the state department , and we 're gon na see if there are any updates at all , and then we 're gon na speak with journalists international . they have had some great successes in getting reporters released that were captured overseas . lauren : i - i know that . [ sniffles ] but it could take weeks or months . paul : oh , no , no , no . we 're not gon na go there , okay ? we 're just gon na take this one step at a time until scotty 's home . lauren : i know it 's naive to think that paying the ransom will make that happen . paul : well , that 's what the kidnappers want you to think . lauren : i know we ca n't trust them . [ sniffles ] i know that nothing 's guaranteed . but the thought of being like this for [ sniffles ] weeks or months , not knowing where my son is ... michael : lauren ? what -- what happened ? what 's wrong ? lauren : it 's scott . if we do n't pay $ 10 million , they 're gon na kill him . michael : oh , my god . he was kidnapped . who did this ? paul : we do n't know yet . michael : did they call you ? lauren : yeah . i was alone . michael : all right , did you talk to scott ? did you hear his voice in the background ? lauren : no . they just told me that they have him and that we had to give them $ 10 million , and so i called paul . michael : of course . of course . lauren : but he 's telling me we should n't pay them . paul : well , that 's not exactly what i said . michael : well , how are we supposed to handle this ? lauren : i ca n't sit around and do nothing . i will liquidate all my assets . i will sell this apartment and the company . if jack wants the rest of fenmore 's , he can have it all in cash . paul : i just suggested that paying the ransom may not be the best way to solve this . i want lauren to consider options . lauren : what options ? you said going through all those channels is useless . i - i know you were just trying to cushion the blow . i do , but what choice do we have ? michael : so , what ? are we on our own ? lauren : yes . we are . we have to negotiate . we have to make arrangements . we need to pay the ransom . we have no choice . michael : okay . victoria : so why the silent treatment , huh ? reed : 'cause i knew it was too good to be true . victoria : do n't you want to know what i 'm asking for in exchange for the music lessons ? reed : what ? do i have to clean the garage or take summer classes to bump up my gpa ? victoria : no . it 's not housework or schoolwork or yardwork . reed : are you gon na dress me up as a bottle of men 's body spray and put me in front of fenmore 's with a big arrow that says brash & sassy ? victoria : would you at least try on the foam rubber suit ? i 'm just kidding . would you play for me ? reed : so , does that mean you 're giving it back ? victoria : yeah , sure looks like it . jack : what are you getting at , phyllis ? phyllis : could n't help being curious seeing you with gloria just now . jack : seeing what exactly ? phyllis : well , you could n't stand working with me , but you hire gloria to be your receptionist / assistant ? jack : well , maybe i have resolved to be more forgiving in the new year . phyllis : where do i rank on that list ? jack : have i somehow mistreated you since the merger with fenmore 's ? phyllis : you barely speak to me , jack . the tension is thicker than jabot 's green mud maxi - scrub . and your sister feels free to talk trash to my face and behind my back . jack : unfortunate though that is , i ca n't really do anything about ashley 's behavior . phyllis : well , someone should , because the employees are finding it upsetting and counterproductive . jack : employees ? like who ? ravi ? phyllis : yes . ravi , the guy who is giving his all to make sure he removes every possible glitch from the virtual dressing room app ! jack : wait , i thought you were launching in the next couple of hours . phyllis : yes , and we will . jack : good luck with that . good night , phyllis . phyllis : [ sighs ] you 're dismissing me . what about the other problem ? jack : i do n't have any other problem . yes , for a time , it was difficult working with you here , but i 'm past that . i 'm -- i 'm over it . phyllis : really ? what 's her name ? do i know her ? jack : unlike some people , i do n't need a relationship to validate my life . phyllis : [ sighs ] why ? oh , like me ? like me , a needy train wreck ? jack : i did n't say that . maybe you should get back to ravi in case he 's upset that the adults are being mean to each other . phyllis : wow . okay . goodbye . you know something , jack ? this whole `` embracing forgiveness `` thing , probably not the best fit for you . michael : i know they did n't give you any indication , but i doubt these people will wait patiently for the ransom . paul : michael , you got to help me out here . there is a chance that paying them wo n't work . i mean , it could actually make things worse , put more journalists in danger . it 's -- michael : listen , scott is lauren 's son . whatever lauren decides to do , that 's what we 're doing . reed : honey waited till i was in love to tell me that she was not mine left me riding down the road above under the dim streetlight lit sky nothing changed between me and her until i changed my mind even then i still felt unsure about the way she used to lie just a matter of time just a matter of time just a matter of time but in the meantime ravi : oh , hey ! hey , i 've been factoring all the code that manages client requests . it 's a massive improvement across the board . what 's wrong ? you seem unsettled . phyllis : ravi , you are a kind and compassionate guy , but i need you to tell me the truth right now , filter off . ravi : okay . phyllis : am i needy ? ravi : is this , like , a quiz , or do you really not know the answer ? phyllis : in your opinion , from the time we 've hung out with one another , do you think i 'm afraid to be alone ? ravi : [ sighs ] i mean , is n't everyone ? gloria : i am so sorry , fulvio , but something just came up . oh ! nikki : oh , god . gloria ! gloria : i 'm so sorry . nikki : what 's the rush ? ! [ next_on ] victoria : i do n't know how many times i 've told you how much i appreciate your contribution . i 'd like to prove it . victor : what do you think if i decided to write the story of my life ? lauren : can you lend us the money ? jill : i am so sorry ! i ca n't ! | michael and phyllis both suspect that that jack and gloria 's relationship is more then professional but jack denies everything to them and tells them he just gave gloria a job because she needed one . nikki is shocked when she sees jack and gloria go into a hotel room at the athletic club together . nikki advises victoria to support reed in his dream to be a musician because it is a good diversion for him and keeps him from looking at pornography websites . nikki thinks that victoria 's punishment for reed was too severe and reminds victoria that she posed for a men 's magazine when she was a teenager to assert her independence . victoria tells reed that she will pay for piano and guitar lessons for him if he plays her a song on his guitar when he does she is impressed by his talent . lauren is determined to pay the ransom to save scott from his kidnappers despite paul 's advise to not pay the ransom because it could put scott and other journalists in danger . ravi and phyllis work around the clock to fix the bugs in the fenmore 's app and get the app ready for its launch . | <s>[INST] jack : [ sighing ] oh , yes . right there . gloria : uh - huh . [ knock on door ] michael : excuse me . gloria : back so soon ? jack : i thought we covered everything . michael : we did . i ... i have the new amendments we talked about typed up for you . jack : well , i appreciate that . thank you . gloria : thank you , michael . may i show you out ? michael : no , that 's all right . i 'm sorry . am i supposed to pretend i did n't just see what i just saw ? lauren : [ sobs ] scott . oh ! [ doorbell rings ] lauren : [ sniffles ] [ gasps ] paul . paul : hi , hi , hi , hi . i got here as soon as i could . lauren : [ sighs ] paul : all right , i have been on with your cell carrier . they ran a trace . lauren : okay . who 's behind this ? who 's got my son ? ! [ knock on door ] [ door opens ] phyllis : yoo - hoo ! ravi : [ gasps ] phyllis : sorry . it 's just me . i did n't mean to scare you . ravi : hey , phyllis . phyllis : hey , look , i know that we did not have an official appointment , but we did talk about meeting once more before the virtual dressing room app rolls out tomorrow . ravi : oh , yeah , we -- we did . phyllis : yeah , and since the beta testing has gone so well , it 's not gon na be that difficult , but ... did i catch you at a bad time ? ravi : kind of , but it -- it 's fine . stay . phyllis , we -- we have an enormous , horrible , awful problem . nikki : hi , honey ! reed : hi , grandma . um , mom 's in her office . i 'll go get her for you . nikki : no , not necessary . i actually came to see you . reed : really ? nikki : hundo p . reed : [ chuckles ] nikki : and that 's what the kids are saying now , right ? reed : yeah , 100 % . [ chuckles ] nikki : do you know how to read music ? reed : not really , but , um , if it 's tabbed out or if there 's chords , i can normally figure it out . nikki : great . take that . maybe , uh , we could play another duet . reed : oh , totally . that 'd be really cool . nikki : i think it would be fantastic . reed : [ chuckles ] nikki : after the video that noah sent me of you performing , i was so amazed by it . i mean , i can honestly tell people that my grandson is an underground hit . reed : oh , well , that -- i mean , that was really rough . i did n't even have time to practice or anything . nikki : are you kidding ? it was fantastic ! [ scoffs ] whatever it was you were doing , just keep doing that . victoria : yeah , go ahead , reed . why do n't you tell her how you pulled off open mic on a school night at a bar ? phyllis : okay , whatever the issue is , i am gon na help you solve it . this app has so many moving parts , problems are bound to come up . ravi : but we had it . that 's what i 'm trying to tell you . look , i fixed every glitch that came up in beta , troubleshot every conceivable error . we are literally prepared for everything except success . phyllis : how long have you been caged up in here ? 'cause you 're not making any sense , man . ravi : the traffic , phyllis . due to your masterful social media saturation , the numbers have been multiplying all day . once we launch , if there is any kind of influx in the amount of visitors ... phyllis : are you talking about slow load times ? ravi : i wish that was all . we just built a high - speed , state - of - the - art spaceship that seats 10 , and somehow 1,000 people managed to cram themselves on right before takeoff . phyllis : so you 're saying it 's gon na crash and burn . ravi : exactly . so i made a short list for you to approve . one -- optimized code . two -- reduced number of plug - ins . three -- streamline server configuration . phyllis : okay . ravi : four -- no , i know what you 're gon na say . minimize dependency requests . god , that should have been 3b ! phyllis : hold up ! take a breath . i think the best thing we can do right now is postpone the launch . ravi : that 's not an option ! is it ? is that an option ? phyllis : it may be our only option . lauren : the call came from the middle east ? that 's it ? you said they traced it , and that 's all they have ? ! paul : lauren , we are dealing with people that are very sophisticated about eluding any kind of -- of trace or surveillance . i know it 's not what you want to hear . lauren : no ! what i want to hear is the state department is taking this seriously and they 're going to find my son ! paul : i spoke with my contact . they 're making it a top priority . but they have to go through the proper channels , okay ? and unfortunately , we do n't have a lot of information off of them . lauren : this is the u.s. state department . it is their job to protect americans abroad ! now , they have to help us ! paul : okay . they know of scott 's work . but he was n't in contact with them . lauren : [ sighs ] paul : so they have no idea where he was going or who he was meeting with . lauren : this is so unlike him . he 's not new to this . he knew the dangers . why ? why was he so careless ? paul : you know , lauren , maybe there was no time . it 's possible he could have stumbled upon a story and he felt he needed to pursue it . lauren : right , and now he 's being held in the middle east by god knows who , and they want $ 10 million to keep him alive ! paul : honey , i know how terrified you are right now . lauren : we 're gon na pay the ransom . [ sniffles ] we have no other choice . paul : i know how desperate and helpless you feel . but i think that paying the ransom could be a terrible mistake . jack : this damn rotator cuff , it has been years . a skiing accident . somehow i never got any better . i 'm sure i told you and lauren about this . michael : i do n't think you did . i would have referred you to my orthopedist . jack : well , i may still take you up on that . this shoulder just keeps freezing up . you know what ? i should have had the surgery when i had the accident , but , you know , then you dedicate a whole summer to recovery . michael : you were skiing , you said ? gloria : water skiing , michael . jack slalomed better than anybody up at the lake back in his day . michael : [ chuckles ] i did not know that . jack : it 's been a long time . gloria , thank you again . you 've been a great help . your magic fingers have once again saved me from having to sleep in this chair . michael : is finger magic a frequent part of your secretarial duties ? gloria : a top executive assistant needs to be versatile . michael : yes , but it 's you we 're talking about . gloria : oh , for heaven sakes , michael . i could n't leave jack paralyzed . and besides , that 's the arm he signs the paychecks with . jack : gloria , thank you . you 've been a great help . have a good evening . gloria : thank you , mr. abbott . i 'm on my way . i will make that last call to , uh , accounting , though . goodbye , michael . jack : well , thank you for dropping these papers by , counselor . can i walk you out ? michael : oh , no . nobody has to walk me out . in fact , i 'm just going to stay here until you explain what the hell all this is about . jack : your mother needed a job . i hired her as my assistant . is that so outrageous ? michael : yes , it is . there is no one on this planet you despise more than gloria , and i assure you , the loathing is mutual . or at least it was the last time i checked . of course , that was before i saw her whole masseuse routine . jack : i thought i explained all of this to you , michael . michael : no , you did n't . in fact , it would have been less bizarre to see victor newman here taking dictation in a pencil skirt ! what the hell is going on , jack ? what are your intentions with my mother ? jack : my intentions ? really ? [ british accent ] lord baldwin , sir , i pray you . i desire the fair maid gloria 's hand in matrimony . michael : i 'm not talking about romantic intentions . that would be ... you two hate each other . jack : [ normal voice ] as they grow older and wiser , sometimes people actually change . michael : and sometimes they just revert back to their old selves , their old , calculating , vengeful selves . jack : are we talking about your mother now or me ? michael : we 're talking about you setting her up for some kind of twisted reprisal . i certainly hope that 's not the case here . jack : no , of course not . and you would have me prove that how ? by firing her ? that seems terribly cruel , do n't you think ? michael : everything 's relative . jack : i suppose you could always put her on your payroll . michael : [ chuckles ] now , jack , let 's not misconstrue . naturally , i am pleased that gloria seems to have found a job that makes her happy . i 'm not looking to sabotage that . i just have a great deal of reasonable doubt that your actions are motivated by kindness . jack : guilty as charged , counselor . partially . and this is where it gets a little dicey because , of course , you are lauren 's husband . but your mother helped me a great deal in acquiring fenmore 's for jabot . i owe her . and i pay my debts . michael : that makes a little more sense . phyllis : i ca n't , you know , get into the details , but it 's a family issue . and lauren just needs to focus on that right now . ravi : sounds serious . phyllis : it is . ravi : well , she 's lucky to have a friend like you . i mean , you seem great in crisis . phyllis : usually i am . but this time i got nothing . i try to distract her with work , and it just -- that was a bust . you know , it 's just -- it 's tough when you ca n't find a way to help a best friend , you know ? ravi : sometimes when we ca n't solve the problem , we can find other things that might bring joy . phyllis : like what ? ravi : it just reminds me of this one time years ago when i was a boy . you know , we should get back to work . i do n't want to bore you . phyllis : you do not bore me at all . ravi : [ sighs ] when i was 9 , my dad took me to india to meet my uncle nikhil . he 's my dad 's favorite brother . my whole life , i 'd heard what a joyful , dynamic man he was , but ... when his wife died suddenly , all the happiness left him . she was his world . he was so sad . it broke our hearts 'cause it felt like there was nothing that we could do to help . uncle nikhil had started building this beautiful wall made out of a clay that he -- that he handmade . it was to be a gift for his wife to surround the garden that she 'd always wanted . but , um , when she died , he never finished it . uncle nikhil said he never would . it was for her , and she was gone , and nothing could ever bring her back . so my dad and i got clay , made bricks , and put them out in the sun to bake and started building . after awhile , neighbors started to help , and pretty soon , we -- we finished his beautiful creation . when he saw it , he wept . and then he asked my dad and i to help him plant the garden to honor his wife . to this day , he still tends to that garden . phyllis : that 's a beautiful story . ravi : let 's build a wall for lauren . i mean , maybe we ca n't help her with her problem , but we can finish the application , make sure it 's launched on time , give her something good to hold on to . now , that we actually can do for your friend . phyllis : what are we waiting for ? paul : if you pay this ransom , it could result in furthering their extortion . and it will not necessarily mean that scott is released . lauren : you know something ? out of everyone , i really thought that you could help me out of this nightmare . and that 's why i called you . but if this is your idea of help ... paul : i 'm sorry . you know , i have a son , too . i know what it 's like to fear for him . lauren : this is not the same . this is not dylan on an undercover assignment . my son is a writer , not a trained cop with a gun . paul : yeah , well , dylan is not on assignment anymore . i do n't know where he is or what he 's doing . lauren : he decided to turn his back on you and everyone else . my son 's life is in danger ! this is not the same ! paul : [ sighs ] reed : i thought we were actually communicating . she fed me this whole speech on how she understood my dreams and she wanted me to follow my passions . victoria : yeah , and that translated into sneak out of the house and go to a bar . reed : well , it did n't mean anything , because obviously she does n't care about my dreams or my passions . victoria : huh . that 's funny . i guess he forgot the part where he was grounded for a month . reed : god . victoria : and he just blew it off . reed : that 's all that 's important to her . now i 'm being punished for two months . victoria : oh , well , i think his dreams will survive that . pretty sure . reed : as if she cares . grandma , i 'm sorry , but i guess i 'll just practice this in six weeks . victoria : [ sighs ] nikki : two months is forever to a teenager . victoria : mom , please do n't say that i 'm being too strict , because i 've already gotten enough of that from billy . nikki : i 'm not saying that , but i 'm curious about what he did . was he drinking at the underground ? victoria : no , because nicholas was there , thankfully . nikki : well , then it seems like reed really was there just to pursue his passions . victoria : mom , he snuck out , and it 's not an isolated incident . it 's a pattern , and i 'm the one who has to put a stop to it . nikki : what kind of pattern ? victoria : lying , being sneaky , betraying my trust . nikki : okay , can you try to be a little more specific ? victoria : okay , sure . why do n't i tell you what kicked it all off ? he swiped my credit card and joined an online porn site . nikki : [ laughing ] oh , my god . well ... [ laughs ] nikki : [ laughs ] victoria : i 'm -- i 'm so glad that you think this is so hilarious , mom . nikki : honey , i think that it 's normal . every 15-year - old boy is curious about sex . victoria : he pretended to be 18 , and he took my credit card . and if i had n't checked my online statement , i 'd still be paying 45 bucks a month . nikki : all right , well , i 'm sorry about that . i 'm sure that was very embarrassing . victoria : thank you . nikki : he should n't have been using your card . victoria : i appreciate that . thank you for the concession . nikki : well , get some perspective , okay ? it 's not like he was cyber - bullying somebody or buying stuff to get high on . victoria : okay , well , i 'm just not okay with him looking at pornography . nikki : well , of course not . but you would be less okay if he were appearing in it . trust me . victoria : mom , i ca n't believe you 're bringing that up right now . that 's embarrassing . nikki : nobody else is going to . victoria : [ sighs ] nikki : you know why ? because when you decided to assert your independence and pose naked for some photos ... victoria : oh , my god . nikki : ... your parents went out and bought every last copy of that magazine , and we also bought the publishing company , which thankfully included the negatives . victoria : stupidest thing i 've ever done in my life , and i hope that my children never find out about that . nikki : well , i 'm certainly never gon na tell them . victoria : no , but you think i 'm a hypocrite . ravi : done . now the router will automatically pass the sql request to the db server . phyllis : whoo - whoo ! oh , my gosh . this is so much more functional . ravi : oh , no question . phyllis : you know , not only does your mind work at light speed . you clearly understand people as well you do computers . ravi : i wish , but remind me to get a letter of reference from you . phyllis : oh , you looking for a new job ? ravi : nope . just want to show it to my mom . [ both laugh ] phyllis : you know , seriously , lauren would have been so disappointed if we delayed this launch , which she does not need . thank you for convincing me to move forward with this . ravi : you think being so close emotionally , i mean , made it hard for you to know what to do ? phyllis : it 's a criticism i 've heard over and over again . ravi : i was n't criticizing you . phyllis : no , it 's okay . i 'm sure that you have heard plenty from ashley . ravi : well ... phyllis : i know , i know . the first time we had lunch when she caught me with you mid - poach . i mean , i 'm sure you heard all about my wicked ways and despicable failed marriage . ravi : actually , a few days ago , ashley said she has no problem with you and i being friends . phyllis : well , that is very civil of her . but it is not fair to you . you are dealing with two companies , two apps , and two women who are always on the verge of slapping one another . ravi : what about you and jack and the divorce ? before lauren hired you , i mean , that must have been rough . phyllis : insane . ravi : and now ? phyllis : well , we barely talk to one another , so that seems to be working . ravi : [ chuckles ] this is gon na sound really childish , but if everyone could just drop the drama , this work space would go from like an 8.5 to a 12 easy . out of a -- out of a possible 10 , you know . phyllis : yeah , it 's not childish . the drama is childish . ravi : should we get back to work ? phyllis : yes . is ashley here ? ravi : no , she 'll be back soon . phyllis : you know what ? i 'm gon na check in with jack quickly and get a drama- free update on the fenmore app and let him know that we 're gon na be working as long as it takes to launch this thing , even if it goes into the night . ravi : sounds good . phyllis : all right . jack : [ sighs ] [ knock on door ] jack : come in . you 're still here . gloria : yes , just wanted to check . any last minute , uh , tasks i can help you with ? jack : no , nothing at all . you 've put in a full day . gloria : all right , well , if anything comes up , um , i 'm available . jack : i appreciate that . gloria . gloria : yes ? jack : you handled that situation very well , michael 's untimely return . gloria : thank you . another successful exercise in teamwork . jack : agreed . but we have to start being a little more discreet . michael is not the only suspicious , inquisitive person walking through that door these days . gloria : true . but i do n't recall any complaints about your shiatsu treatment ... or anything else in this relationship . if that 's what it is . jack : i think we both know what this is and what it is n't . gloria : do we ? what do we call this arrangement ? frenemies with benefits ? jack : do we have to call it anything ? gloria : [ chuckles ] no . no , silly . but would it be so wrong if we did ? jack : are you really suggesting that we date , the two of us , in public ? gloria : [ laughs ] i think somebody 's ego needs some liposuction . jack : that sounds a little more familiar . [ cell phone rings ] phyllis : this is phyllis . hi , marie . yes , we are launching . thank you . cc ravi on that . that 's his call . gloria : no , i am not suggesting that we are or ever should be a couple , jack . but you got to admit , our interaction has changed a little bit , okay ? and it might make things easier if we admit it to ourselves and others that we have put our mutual vendetta ... to bed . jack : as long as that 's the only thing we 're putting to bed in this little confession . gloria : however we got here , [ sighs ] we 're a team , jack , here at jabot . and you know that i will never be satisfied being a receptionist . that does n't quite fit in with my ambitious plans . a woman with my skills , my passions could be of so much use in many ways ... to a creative , open - minded c.e.o . jack : i do know that working under me will not satisfy you in the long term . career - wise , at least . gloria : hmm . jack : no special treatment . you stay away from threats . you stay away from blackmail . you stay flexible and do as you 're told ... gloria : and you will make sure that i get everything i deserve . jack : i reward loyalty and hard work and devotion . you prove to me that i need you and you could well see a rapid gloria : a rapid rise . my favorite kind . [ chuckles ] see you later tonight -- rawr ! -- jack - uar . [ laughs ] jack : tonight 's not looking so good . gloria : [ sighs ] but it could look so much worse . you in that dusty , old mansion , me with my shiatsu technique ready to go ... and no one to practice on . jack : you do make a good point , but that near miss with your son , that was a little too close . i think we need to create a little more distance . i think you 'll agree . gloria : yeah , yeah , yeah , yeah , yeah . well , just in case you change your mind , i 'll make sure that everything stays turned on , okay ? the cell , the laptop , the webcam . ciao . [ laughs ] jack : phyllis . what can i do for you ? phyllis : i 'd like to talk about the line between professional and personal here at jabot if you have the time . victoria : thanks , mom . oh , you brought cookies . nikki : yeah , well , i 'm the grandma . it 's the law . and to answer your earlier question , i do not think you 're a hypocrite . victoria : i do . nikki : well , you should n't . all teenagers are gon na do crazy things , and their brains are n't even finished growing yet . victoria : mom , how am i gon na get through the next five years with reed and followed right after by johnny and katie ? nikki : you 're gon na do it with a lot of patience . victoria : i know . i see so many parents decide that it 's easier to be their friend , and once those lines get blurred , any control or respect that you thought you had is gone . nikki : yeah , well , i do n't agree with that way of parenting , either . if he does try to put you in the villain role , just do n't engage . victoria : i know you 're right . nikki : and , you know , i think this music thing could really be key . i mean , it 's a great diversion , music , for teenagers . it 'll eat up a lot of his time , and he truly is very talented . victoria : thank you . nikki : all right . i got to get going . you and reed will get through this . i promise . victoria : all right , mom , thank you . it was really helpful talking to you tonight . nikki : well , good . i 'm glad that you think so . and if things should get overwhelming again , just , uh , snapchat me , dude . victoria : oh , god . nikki : later . victoria : thanks , mom . bye . nikki : bye . [ door closes ] victoria : reed ! reed : what ? victoria : hey . um ... grandma brought some cookies . do you want one ? reed : sure . thanks . victoria : you know , i was thinking about ... i was remembering you were in the second grade and you took piano lessons . you always had sheet music trailing behind you . reed : i was probably trying to get rid of it . victoria : yeah , you hated practicing , did n't you ? reed : i did n't hate practicing . it was just the fact that my teacher only got the songs from that super sucky songbook . victoria : did you ever think about taking more lessons ? reed : nah . i think it 'd just mess with my flow . victoria : oh , well , you know , maybe with a different teacher and a less sucky songbook , it might help your ... flow free faster . [ chuckles ] reed : i mean , i guess , with the right teacher . victoria : what if i found somebody , you know , and i could get them to take you on ? reed : you 'd do that ? victoria : i told you , you know . if this is your passion , then i would like to help you see it through . reed : and you 're gon na pay for it , right ? victoria : [ sighs ] no , reed . i 'm not gon na stick you with the bill . reed : yeah , i 'm -- i 'm in . thank you . victoria : you 're welcome . there 's something i want you to do for me in return . paul : look , lauren , i am sorry if it felt like i was minimizing the situation this is for you and scott . and you 're right . the situations with our sons are completely different . in my heart , i just want you to make a good decision , the best one you possibly can under the circumstances . lauren : i know . i should n't have yelled at you . [ sighs ] i - i could n't do this without you . paul : hey . where else would i be ? lauren : okay . so tell me what you 'd be doing if this were dylan . paul : okay . we 're gon na make two calls -- one to my friend at the state department , and we 're gon na see if there are any updates at all , and then we 're gon na speak with journalists international . they have had some great successes in getting reporters released that were captured overseas . lauren : i - i know that . [ sniffles ] but it could take weeks or months . paul : oh , no , no , no . we 're not gon na go there , okay ? we 're just gon na take this one step at a time until scotty 's home . lauren : i know it 's naive to think that paying the ransom will make that happen . paul : well , that 's what the kidnappers want you to think . lauren : i know we ca n't trust them . [ sniffles ] i know that nothing 's guaranteed . but the thought of being like this for [ sniffles ] weeks or months , not knowing where my son is ... michael : lauren ? what -- what happened ? what 's wrong ? lauren : it 's scott . if we do n't pay $ 10 million , they 're gon na kill him . michael : oh , my god . he was kidnapped . who did this ? paul : we do n't know yet . michael : did they call you ? lauren : yeah . i was alone . michael : all right , did you talk to scott ? did you hear his voice in the background ? lauren : no . they just told me that they have him and that we had to give them $ 10 million , and so i called paul . michael : of course . of course . lauren : but he 's telling me we should n't pay them . paul : well , that 's not exactly what i said . michael : well , how are we supposed to handle this ? lauren : i ca n't sit around and do nothing . i will liquidate all my assets . i will sell this apartment and the company . if jack wants the rest of fenmore 's , he can have it all in cash . paul : i just suggested that paying the ransom may not be the best way to solve this . i want lauren to consider options . lauren : what options ? you said going through all those channels is useless . i - i know you were just trying to cushion the blow . i do , but what choice do we have ? michael : so , what ? are we on our own ? lauren : yes . we are . we have to negotiate . we have to make arrangements . we need to pay the ransom . we have no choice . michael : okay . victoria : so why the silent treatment , huh ? reed : 'cause i knew it was too good to be true . victoria : do n't you want to know what i 'm asking for in exchange for the music lessons ? reed : what ? do i have to clean the garage or take summer classes to bump up my gpa ? victoria : no . it 's not housework or schoolwork or yardwork . reed : are you gon na dress me up as a bottle of men 's body spray and put me in front of fenmore 's with a big arrow that says brash & sassy ? victoria : would you at least try on the foam rubber suit ? i 'm just kidding . would you play for me ? reed : so , does that mean you 're giving it back ? victoria : yeah , sure looks like it . jack : what are you getting at , phyllis ? phyllis : could n't help being curious seeing you with gloria just now . jack : seeing what exactly ? phyllis : well , you could n't stand working with me , but you hire gloria to be your receptionist / assistant ?

[ scene_break ] liam : i really do n't take your sister for granted . i 've never met anyone like her . rick : neither have i . and then there 's steffy . two beautiful , intelligent women . liam : yeah , i know . every man 's fantasy , right ? rick : hmm . is it ? liam : well , i do n't like it . being caught in the middle , and all these feelings , the loyalty to both of them ? i mean , i hate hurting either one . rick : do n't you think that 's kind of inevitable ? liam : it 's just -- they 're so different , you know , in so many ways . i mean , hope is , like , this inspiration . i 'll put it to you this way -- i 'll never be as good as hope is , my entire life . but she makes me want to reach , you know , and be more like her . rick : that 's quite a tribute . liam : and if things were different , we 'd be married right now . i mean , i would be living an idyllic life right now . rick : with the woman of your dreams . liam : yeah . rick : but then there 's steffy . liam : who challenges me in a completely different way -- i mean , pushes me to live life , to make every moment count . rick : you 've got a hell of a choice to make . liam : yeah , but it ca n't keep going like this . it 's not fair . rick : it 's too bad you ca n't morph them . liam : [ laughs ] rick : but you and i both know things just do n't work that way . you could be friends with the both of them for the rest of your life . but you can only have one life partner . and realistically , if i were you , i 'd be thinking about the long haul . [ scene_break ] taylor : the thought of you moving away with my grandchild because another logan stole the father infuriates me . steffy : brooke and her family have taken everything from us , mom . taylor : and now her daughter becomes full - on home wrecker , just like her mother ? steffy : and if he chooses to be with hope ... taylor : what ? what , steffy ? steffy : i 'm ending it -- this competition with the logans . i do not want this for my child . it stops here ... with us . [ scene_break ] oliver : that 's hot . hope : me ? oliver : oh , yeah . hope : [ laughing ] that is not a word i would use to describe myself . oliver : well , there 's , uh -- there 's `` compassionate `` and `` smart . `` hope : thank you . oliver : and `` role model `` and `` hot . `` hope : [ laughs ] oliver : it 's good to see you laugh and smile . hope : oh , thanks . yeah , i was -- you know , i was just so caught up in the rules and doing everything the `` right `` way . oliver : there 's nothing wrong with that . hope : no . no , there 's not . but it should not get in the way of you living your life the way you want to live it . oliver : and you -- you want to be with liam ? hope : yes , i do . oliver : you got to go after what you want , and do n't let anyone take that away from you . hope : you know , you may be one of the best friends i 've ever had . oliver : i just want you to be happy . hope : thank you . [ scene_break ] liam : rick , man , i get what you 're trying to do . but ... it 's my life . rick : your life is n't the only one that 's involved . it 's my sister 's life , too . liam : have n't forgotten that . rick : i 'm looking out for hope . and myself . redemption . do you think that i can forget that it 's my fault that you two are n't together ? liam : i suppose not . rick : that 's why i have to do everything that i can . liam : but , rick ... it 's not your decision . rick : from the moment you met her , you wanted to be with hope . you proposed to her in front of a slew of press . this was the woman that you wanted to marry . and then things happened -- misunderstandings , tricks . you ended up married to steffy . but you were never fully committed to that , because in the back of your mind , hope was always there . and then there was more lies , and there was more deception . and once you finally figured that out , you went back to hope , your first love . and you guys tried to get married , and then things got in the way . and the biggest culprit was me , her brother . i thought i knew what was best for hope . i created a lie that i knew she would n't forgive . and she ended it . she left you , and there you were , back with steffy . [ sighs ] look -- i know that you care about her . but she 's not your first choice , and she never will be . i hope that you realize that . i messed with you . you do n't owe me a thing . but you owe hope a lot , and you owe yourself . do n't let me be the reason that you do n't get the life that you wanted . [ scene_break ] hope : i know that being happy depends on yourself . you ca n't always rely on someone else . oliver : so whatever happens , you 'll deal . hope : i will . but believe it or not , my future does not depend on any man , not even liam . oliver : good for you . hope : thank you . it does n't mean i do n't want him , because i do . oliver : i get it . i get it . hope : [ laughs ] but he has to want it , too . and he has this huge decision to make . oliver : true . hope : yeah . inside , i 'm kind of doing flip - flops and freaking out . i 'm hoping that it goes the way i want it to . oliver : i think it 'll go the way you want it to . i 've seen the way liam looks at you . hope : we should be together ! we should . i really believe that , you know ? but it 's -- it 's not up to me . oliver : liam will make the right decision . you 'll see . hope : i do n't want to rush him . i want him to take all the time he needs . oliver : you know , sometimes , you do have to push a little . steffy will . that 's for sure . maybe you should , too . [ scene_break ] taylor : i 'm really very amazed by you , the woman you 've become . you 're so strong and confident , and you 're so sure about what works for you and what does n't . steffy : it 's not just about me anymore . i have to think about my baby , what kind of life i want to give him or her . and it ca n't be the way thomas and i grew up , and i do n't mean to slam you in any way . taylor : i do n't take it that way . i own how we lived . [ scoffs ] i would n't want it for your baby , either . so , do you have any idea when this might ever be resolved ? steffy : well , liam says he 'll have an answer tomorrow . taylor : good ! good . at least you 'll know something for sure . steffy : yeah . in the meantime , i 've got to get to that appointment . taylor : do you mind if i come along ? steffy : i 'd really like that . taylor : i 'll drive . steffy : okay . thanks , mom .
