why do n't you just wait to talk until you 're not as wound up ? jack : she 's married to a criminal . travers ' actions are gon na haunt him the rest of his life and haunt her life , too . kelly : but paul is recovering . that 's the good news . so , the worst did n't happen , so there is a chance for this austin guy and a chance for them both . jack : please tell me you are not advocating for this joke of a marriage . kelly : well , no , i 'm just saying that i -- jack : saying what ? explain it to me , please . for the life of me , i ca n't understand it . stitch : yeah , i - i kept quiet about kelly . victoria : your sister . stitch : when i said we were n't close , it 's true . we 've been on the outs for years . you know , and then you invited us to dinner . it -- it was a shock . victoria : i know what it 's like to not want to be in the same room with your own family . i think maybe i could have understood . stitch : it was obvious that kelly did n't -- did n't want to know me . okay , she did n't want anyone to know that we were related , so i - i followed her lead . victoria : that 's fine if it was months ago , but days and nights have gone by since you have had dinner at my house , and you never said a word . stitch : because it was all spinning out -- billy and kelly , you and i . victoria : you and i what ? we got closer ? we slept together ? we might have created a life together ? that 's exactly why you should have told me , and you know it . what are you trying to do ? are you trying to prove billy right ? maybe it was a mistake to trust you . billy : i should have just let the whole rayburn thing drop . i should have talked about us or johnny or anything but that guy , and now here i am . and whatever you 're about to say , especially if it has anything to do with rayburn , do n't . i mean it . chelsea : i was gon na say , `` happy birthday . `` billy : [ sighs ] thanks . chelsea : that 's what friends do . billy : yeah . and i suppose that 's not the ugliest outfit i 've ever seen . chelsea : no , it is . i do n't know what 's happening to me . i think i 've lost my mojo . maybe -- maybe chloe was my mojo . i do n't know . billy : hey , hey . no . chloe just saw it in you . you 've got your own mojo . and that thing would n't be so bad ... without the belt , or if you ... set it on fire . chelsea : maybe . can you help me get this belt off ?

austin did something wrong , and everybody knows what he did , and he 's going to go to prison for it . and summer will visit him and cry , and then she will realize that she is young , and she has her whole life ahead of her . and you could be there for her . you could hold her hand and comfort her while she cries , or you could be the one that she runs to instead of running from . jack : if i survive that long . kelly : of course you 're gon na survive it . jack : thank you . you 're a calming influence on me . here i 'm flipping out , and you 're talking me down . thanks . kelly : it 's my pleasure . happy to be of service .

[ sighs ] nick : it 's 'cause i 'm making jokes about this ? is that ... ? listen , it 's just hard to take it seriously , but maybe we should talk about it . sharon : nick . nick : look , i know we just moved in together , and this is a big step , but it 's something we need to really talk about . sharon : this is never happening . and i 'm not talking about the colors or the veil . you and i are never getting married again . courtney : freeze , and whatever you do , do n't put that shirt back on . noah : whatever you say , officer . courtney : [ chuckles ] sorry i 'm late . was waiting on word about chief , but he 's doing great . noah : oh , that 's awesome . i 'm sure the whole force is relieved . so , you off duty now ? courtney : yep , and loving this place . noah : yeah . courtney : wow . devon is really stepping up the swank factor here . noah : yeah , the view is insane . courtney : come on . are n't you used to it -- up in newman tower , looking down on all the tiny , little ant - sized people ? noah : no , this view is much better . courtney : that was so corny . [ chuckles ] but i liked it . noah : looks like you missed all the sun . courtney : the pool 's still here . noah : oh , hey , i 'm all for you stripping down , but this is a public ... courtney : noah . i have a swimsuit under . noah : oh , yay . courtney : [ chuckles ] i 'll race you to the diving board . noah : no , you go ahead . i 'm gon na enjoy the view a little bit more . courtney : [ chuckles ] victoria : i mean , you said that they might have had an affair , but now you 're saying that they 're siblings ? billy : i completely read them wrong . i mean , the way that they know each other , but they wo n't talk about it . and then -- and then kelly bolting when you tried to set her up with stitch . victoria : does n't make any sense . billy : i knew that it was something , and then in the end , kelly told jack , and she said that she could n't -- said she could n't lie to him anymore . victoria : oh . but ben can lie to me . is that what you 're saying ? billy : vick , i 'm not trying to cause you any more pain . victoria : no , no , of course you 're not . no . billy : i 'm not . i hate this , vick . and , yeah , i tried to dig up dirt on the guy , but i stopped . i let it go . then jack told me about kelly and rayburn . i could n't not tell you about that . look , if i could take back everything up and to this second , i would . victoria : stop trying to be the hero , all right ? billy : that 's not -- victoria : no , i 'm not gon na give you a reward for telling me this . i 'm not gon na fly into your arms for ... god . you know what ? i 'm done . billy : vick . stitch : i know i have to tell the truth to victoria . but , you know , how much and -- and what do i say ? jenna says she 'll run off with max if it comes to light . and you and i both know that , when victoria hears what i did , it 's gon na drive her away . it 's my own damn fault . kelly : all jack knows is that you and i are siblings , okay ? i -- he saw us hugging . i - i had to tell him why . stitch : you did hug me . and you said you love me . kelly : i did not . stitch : did , too . kelly : knock it off , or i 'll tell mom . stitch : [ chuckles ] [ sighs ] look , whether you did or i imagined it , it was nice to hear . and i meant it when i said that i did n't want to cost you jack . kelly : good . 'cause you already cost me plenty in the past . stitch : and you 've returned the favor . but victoria ... kelly : ben , all i 'm saying is ... jack knows that we grew up together , but he does n't know anything else . but that is enough for billy to exploit with victoria once jack tells him . stitch : i have to tell victoria that i lied to her from the second i met her . kelly : about how you and i know each other . but the rest -- that wo n't come from billy . that can only come from you . and once that 's out , i guess you 'll find out how much victoria really cares about you . summer : austin and i are not getting a divorce . jack : no , we 're gon na get this whole mess annulled first thing in the morning . you are not gon na have this disaster hanging over your head . summer : you 're not listening . jack : you did not marry him because you love him . you did not marry him because you want to live with this felon . you married him because you had the misguided notion that it would somehow keep him out of prison . it wo n't work . this man nearly killed the police chief . austin : how 's he doing ? the chief ? jack : paul is actually improving , lucky for you . justin : that 's good to hear . jack : let 's gather our things . we 'll all go back to genoa city , and we will rectify this mess first thing in the morning . summer : how do you know why i married austin ? okay , you 're -- you do n't know what it 's like when i 'm with him . the first time that you saw us after we were walking in the park -- that was the first time that i felt safe and normal and sane in a really long time , like i had been walking in the dark for months , and i finally found my way home , and that feeling -- it was not with you or with nick or with anybody else . it was with austin -- just him . okay , this marriage -- this marriage is real , and these rings are real , and i love him , and he 's my husband . [ voice breaking ] okay , and if you ca n't accept him or accept the fact that i am the happiest i 've been in a really long time , then maybe you should just go . austin : summer . summer : i 'm fine . jack : summer . no . hold on . hold on . we 're not finished here . austin : summer made her own decisions , okay ? and she said what she wanted to say . jack : okay , now it 's your turn . what 's it gon na take , austin ? what 's it gon na take to get you out of my daughter 's life ? austin : [ sighs ] nick : wow . so , no -- no wedding ? no marriage ? sharon : and i mean it . nick : okay . actually , not okay . i mean , i 'm not hiding a ring in my pocket right now or anything , but what if i was ? sharon : then i do n't want to see it ... ever . okay ? nick , we were married once before . nick : twice , actually , if you want to get picky . i mean , we had the elopement and then the whole big , fancy shebang . sharon : you know , for a long time , i imagined myself walking down the aisle to you again . and then imagining you marrying avery -- that was pretty ugly . nick : you were not well . that was not you . sharon : well , i 'm back to myself again ... nick : exactly . sharon : ... which is why i know that marriage is not in the cards for us ... ever . nick : hmm . i mean , i think you like me . sharon : a little . nick : and i know you 're not against marriage . what 's going on ? sharon : nick , i do n't want to hurt you ... ever . and i feel like if we got married again , i would end up causing you more pain . jack : you are abusing my daughter 's kindness and sympathy and naïveté . austin : no , sir . i would never do that to summer , and i would stop anyone else who tried . jack : so you talked her into marrying you out of the goodness of your heart ? austin : i did n't talk her into it . actually , the wedding was her idea . i tried to talk her out of it , but she 's stubborn and weirdly convincing and can kind of talk until you do n't know which -- jack : i 'm well aware of my daughter 's powers of persuasion . she did n't force you into this marriage . austin : no , she did n't . it was my choice . and i wo n't be bribed into letting her go . she does n't deserve that . jack : and what does she deserve ? heartbreak ? that 's really all you can offer her , austin . if you really care about her ... austin : i do . jack : ... then listen to me . cops and guns and motel rooms on the run -- that was your courtship . prison is going to be your marriage . make no mistake about it . you will be convicted , and one day , your lovely bride in there is going to be standing weeping in a courtroom while they take you out in handcuffs . if you are half the man she thinks you are , do n't put her through that . austin : i do n't know who i am -- not now , not after what i did . but i know summer . i know that she 's been lonely ever since her mother got hurt . i know that she is lonely and scared , and she feels like that she ca n't live up to anything anyone expects of her , but she 's happy with me . she smiles a lot . she bosses me around like she 's known me forever , and she sticks to her word . so i have to stick to mine . so , no , mr. abbott , i wo n't be walking away from summer . jack : this is not the life my daughter deserves . [ door slams ] summer : he left ? austin : yeah . we should actually hit the road . um , are you hungry ? i could make something . summer : i heard what you said . austin : [ sighs ] look , i 'm , uh -- i 'm sorry about the bossy stuff . but , you know , you are . [ chuckles ] summer : [ chuckles ] it sounds like you believe in me . austin : are you kidding ? why would n't i ? look at you . i 've given you every reason to run as fast and as far away from me as possible , but you said you would n't go . and you have n't . summer : you 're not leaving me , and i 'm not leaving you , so ... looks like we 're stuck . austin : yeah . summer : yeah . stitch : you said you would n't lie to jack for my sake . kelly : and i did n't . stitch : but you did n't tell him the rest . why not ? kelly : you paid for what you did . you served your time . stitch : you mean that ? kelly : i will never , ever forget what you did , ben . but i ca n't walk around angry anymore . i - i just -- i just ca n't . stitch : okay , well , i do n't mean to get all sentimental , but the fact that you do n't hate me ... [ footsteps approaching ] stitch : ... really makes me happy . victoria : oh , what was the trouble between you two ? did mom always like you best ? kelly : [ sighs ] chelsea : hmm . [ doorbell rings ] chelsea : hi . what ? billy : that is one ugly outfit . chelsea : take it back ! billy : what ? it 's hideous . chelsea : what do you know about fashion ? billy : well , i know enough to know that that ensemble 's a train wreck -- like one of those hazardous - waste train wrecks where you have to evacuate the whole town . chelsea : are you trying to piss me off ? billy : no , i 'm just trying to be honest . that 's my new thing , remember ? chelsea : it 's an idea ... for forrester . it 's a work in progress , so , um , it 's not ready for critique yet . why do n't you mind your own business ? billy : sorry . just trying to help . that 's what friends are for , remember ? chelsea : friends ? is that what we are now ? i thought you did n't like that label . billy : i did n't , but since we 've been spending so much time together , and we went to australia ... chelsea : because i 'm trying to help you get victoria back . that 's all . billy : is that what this is ? just some kind of business arrangement ? chelsea : yeah . billy : so , that kiss in australia -- business as usual ? not a friendly kiss ? chelsea : i thought we were n't going to talk about that . so , what 's going on with you and victoria ? billy : what makes you think i 'm here to talk about victoria ? chelsea : because that 's always why you come here . so , what 's going on with victoria ? billy : well , i told her that i had the skinny on stitch and kelly . chelsea : you lied ? billy : no . i got it . get this -- stitch and kelly are -- wait for it -- brother and sister . chelsea : i thought that -- oh . ew . gross . then i - i really thought they were -- so , they 're brother and sister , and they never told anybody ? billy : which makes no sense . there 's no crime in being related . chelsea : unless there 's more to the story . billy : yes , kevin dug up something on rayburn . i 'm aware , and , no , i still do n't want to know . chelsea : what about the brother - sister thing ? you do n't mind knowing that . billy : that fell in my lap . no digging required . no action on my part for victoria to hate me for . chelsea : well , maybe more could fall in your lap , like the fact that ben rayburn -- billy : no . i told you i do n't want to know . i 'm sticking to that . i told victoria about the whole sibling thing , and she was mad as hell . chelsea : at stitch . billy : no , at me . i was expecting her to be all , you know , `` hey , billy , thanks for the information . by the way , happy birthday . `` but she rips into me , and she storms off , so you know what ? any more information about rayburn is not gon na help my cause . victoria : i do n't know why i did n't see it . you call him `` ben . `` nobody else calls him `` ben , `` except for me . you guys must have found it really hilarious when i tried to fix you up , huh ?

courtney : no . not really . noah , she did n't steal your wallet when you set her up , and she 's not gon na hock all your silverware in one night . noah : we 'll see . girl does have a rap sheet . she 's not trustworthy . courtney : speaking of criminals not to be trusted ... noah : hey . you want to get away from my sister ? summer : noah , stop . courtney : they should have never set bail . summer : okay , well , they did , and austin 's free . courtney : yeah , and my chief is still in icu , and you should be in a cell . noah : what are you even doing with him , summer ? courtney : this is not the type of person you want to be with . summer : yes , it is . okay , i want to be with him more than anything , and ... that 's why he 's my husband . noah : your what ? courtney : tell me you 're not that gullible . austin : hey . say what you want to me , but watch how you speak to my wife . nick : so , marriage to me would just be pain and misery ?

[ footsteps approaching ] kelly : hey . did you see summer ? jack : she married him . she married that cop - shooting son of a -- kelly : okay , okay . that 's surprising , but let 's stay calm . jack : married . that smug little jerk . and summer 's just digging her heels in . kelly : [ sighs ] jack : she 's young , she 's stupid , and she thinks she 's in love . kelly : whoa , jack , i have never heard you talk about summer like that . jack : [ sighs ] no , you 're right . you 're right . she 's -- she 's not stupid . she 's -- she 's a teenager , and she loves the drama . kelly : or maybe she really cares about the guy . jack : i got to call nick -- see if he can talk -- kelly : no , no , no . come on . do n't you think one furious father is enough ? why do n't you just wait to talk until you 're not as wound up ? jack : she 's married to a criminal . travers ' actions are gon na haunt him the rest of his life and haunt her life , too . kelly : but paul is recovering . that 's the good news . so , the worst did n't happen , so there is a chance for this austin guy and a chance for them both . jack : please tell me you are not advocating for this joke of a marriage . kelly : well , no , i 'm just saying that i -- jack : saying what ? explain it to me , please . for the life of me , i ca n't understand it . stitch : yeah , i - i kept quiet about kelly . victoria : your sister . stitch : when i said we were n't close , it 's true . we 've been on the outs for years . you know , and then you invited us to dinner . it -- it was a shock . victoria : i know what it 's like to not want to be in the same room with your own family . i think maybe i could have understood . stitch : it was obvious that kelly did n't -- did n't want to know me . okay , she did n't want anyone to know that we were related , so i - i followed her lead . victoria : that 's fine if it was months ago , but days and nights have gone by since you have had dinner at my house , and you never said a word . stitch : because it was all spinning out -- billy and kelly , you and i . victoria : you and i what ?

austin did something wrong , and everybody knows what he did , and he 's going to go to prison for it . and summer will visit him and cry , and then she will realize that she is young , and she has her whole life ahead of her . and you could be there for her . you could hold her hand and comfort her while she cries , or you could be the one that she runs to instead of running from . jack : if i survive that long . kelly : of course you 're gon na survive it . jack : thank you . you 're a calming influence on me . here i 'm flipping out , and you 're talking me down . thanks . kelly : it 's my pleasure . happy to be of service .

[ scene_break ] carly : your mission is to break into the law offices of garibaldi and sloan , and find out what kind of legal work dante needed in 2007 . spinelli : a physical break - in is unnecessary when you have the jackal at your service . i can merely hack into anything that you need to see . carly : i need you to be on the premises . this could be the kind of thing where they do n't put the records online , like a secret adoption or something . spinelli : okay , with all due respect to the valkyrie 's logic - defying instincts , i think that 's a bit far - fetched . carly : no , it 's not , spinelli . this firm specializes in family law . that only leaves so many options . dante and brenda got married , they got divorced , or a child was involved . spinelli : i suppose you 're right . carly : that 's what i like about you , spinelli . you always come through . spinelli : well , it is an honor to work with you . carly : thank you . i want you to use the credit card i gave you for any expenses . i have to go to luke 's wedding . if you find out anything , call me as soon as possible . spinelli : aye , aye . carly : oh , wow . all these months of working hard to expose dante and brenda 's dirty little secret is about to pay off . and i have a feeling it 's going to pay off big .

[ scene_break ] luke : okay , i 'm monkeyed up . ready for my banana and daiquiri . lucky : dad , you promised to marry tracy sober , remember ? luke : well , i 'm not talking about tying one on . i just thought maybe we could stop at jake 's to toast my rosy future . ethan : no , i think you 'd just get toasted and then tracy would dump you like a bad habit . luke : hmm . you two are like a couple of humorless undertakers . come on , you know i want to marry tracy . i just need a little liquid refreshment , so that when i get at the altar and i say all that soppy , sentimental slop , it just comes trippingly on the tongue . lucky : you do n't need all that , dad . you 're not giving yourself enough credit . it 's just going to come from your heart . luke : i just want it to be over so i can get to the boozy reception . ethan : no , you just want to be gone , maybe . edward : if that 's what luke wants , i 'll take him to the airport right now .

[ scene_break ] patrick : wow . yeah , that would be amazing . that 's not what i expected . robin : well , the invitation was n't given lightly , believe me . i thought a lot about it . you know , weighing our problems against what christmas should mean for our daughter . but in the end , it was a no - brainer . ahem . anyway , i just want to be clear , this is not the start of a reconciliation . you will be sleeping in the guest room . patrick : oh , well , in that case , forget it . thanks for the offer , though . robin : you 're not going to wear me down . patrick : i can hope , ca n't i ?

[ kayla giggles ] justin : so , how is everyone ? everyone 's good ? adrienne : they 're wonderful . healthy , happy . oddly enough , though , they kept saying how much they wanted us to get back together . tripp : i - is there any proof ? i mean , kayla does n't seem like somebody who smothers people to death . jade : yeah . that 's because she 's completely two - faced . look , ava kidnapped kayla and locked her away with no food and no water . you know about that , right ? well ... did you know that ava told steve the only way that she would let kayla go was ... if he slept with her ? well ... steve hopped in her big bed and ... did his duty . and , of course ... he was never gon na tell kayla about it , right ? trouble is ... ava filmed the whole thing with her phone . and ... when kayla was finally free and everything was supposed to go back to normal , ava sent her a private little porn movie . which ... of course , made kayla over - the- top crazy ... and the rest is history . tripp : so this ... film made kayla commit murder ? jade : well , that and ... other stuff . tripp : like what ? jade : ava just kept sticking it to her , you know ? and they wound up getting into it in the park -- hair pulling and punching each other . then later , ava snuck into steve and kayla 's house ... and gave herself a morphine overdose . well , the only people that have access to morphine are doctors , right ? and everyone had seen them fighting and ... it was kinda the perfect frame - up . tripp : a - ava overdosed so she would frame kayla for other -- jade : well , that 's what kayla 's claiming , but ... i mean , maybe ava was telling the truth . kayla said that she came home and found ava blacked out with a needle still in her arm . and she was alive , so they rushed her to the hospital , and she pulled through . tripp : w - well , if kayla saved her , why would she hurt her ? jade : because your mom made a big scene at the hospital . she told everyone that kayla was the one that gave her the overdose . she was saying , `` help me , save me , do n't let her do it to me again , `` that kinda stuff . so ... kayla shut her up . tripp : suffocated her . jade : yeah . tripp : and steve took the blame . jade : he loves her . tripp : i - i got ta say , my mom does n't exactly come off as a person who -- jade : well , okay , maybe not , but , i mean ... she may have been a little off her spool , but ... is that really a reason to murder someone ? abigail : oh , god .

[ lightly edgy music ] chad : um ... catch a flight ? right , well , what makes you think i 'm gon na head back to salem ... so soon ? you know , i was thinking about sticking around a little bit , catching some local flavor . hope : mm . i thought this was a business trip . chad : yeah , well , the business did n't pan out , so ... i 'm gon na do some tourist things , you know ? `` when in greece , `` as they say . hope : as they say , right . i thought you 'd wan na get home , see thomas . but seriously , if you are going home ... can i catch a ride ? abigail : i 'm sorry . dario : for what ? abigail : this . i mean , i always call you . you always come , and then you wind up holding me while i bawl my stupid eyes out . i just , i do n't -- i do n't want you to get the wrong impression , okay ? dario : hey , nobody is -- is getting the wrong impression , all right ? you need a friend . that 's who i am . that 's why i 'm here . i made you that promise , remember ? abigail : thank you . god , i do n't think i could do this without you [ soft music ] rafe : candy man ? jennifer : yeah . that 's what most of the kids at the center were calling him . he must be the dealer . rafe : well , it makes sense . the drug is sold in candy form . those little gummy things . jennifer : oh , dear god , unbelievable . rafe : unfortunately , the candy man is not the only one who 's selling this junk . but we 'll get some eyes and ears on the streets . thank you , this really helps . jennifer : you have to do something . you have to stop this . rafe : believe me ... i will . justin : adrienne , i swear to you , i did not say one word to our boys about you and me getting back together . adrienne : i know . i flat - out asked them . and they admitted it was all their own doing , so ... i did set them straight and tell them that i had absolutely chosen a life with lucas , so ... justin : right . well , do n't worry . i 'm sure our ... southwestern family contingent will come around , eventually . adrienne : okay . justin : so how 'bout you ? uh , any problems with your recovery ? adrienne : no , actually ... desert air was just what i needed . could n't wait to get back to work , though . part of me , at least . is sonny here ? um , i wanted to give him his present from his brothers . justin : oh , no . well , he 's actually out of town on a business trip . but he 'll be back soon . i 'll tell him to call you . adrienne : great . i 'd appreciate that . thank you . um ... could you for me ? justin : oh , yeah . adrienne : thank you . well , um , i 'm gon na get going . it was so good to see you , justin . thank you . thank you . justin : hey , adrienne , um ... i just want you to know that ... even though i ca n't say that your picking lucas made me happy , the most important thing for me is knowing that ... that you 're healthy again . just knowing that you 're getting better ... that you 're happy ... that 's all i need . adrienne : [ exhales ] thank you . that 's ... [ exhales ] thank you . [ soft music ] tripp : this is just so weird . like ... i really felt a good vibe with kayla . jade : yeah . that 's what she does . she 's a total pro . she 'll be your best friend . and then ... she 'll turn around and stab you in the back . tripp : that 's what she did to you . jade : and loved every minute of it . i mean , everyone thinks she 's some kind of saint ... with the cardigan sweater and the perfect , perky little smile . but what they do n't see ... is when she 's done with you , she will slice you up in a heartbeat . [ dark music ] kayla : hey ! adrienne : how are you ? mmm , so good to see you . kayla : good to see you ! steve : how was glamping in arizona ? adrienne : oh , it was awesome ! i 'm so rested and relaxed . kayla : well , you look great . adrienne : well , thank you . steve : welcome home . adrienne : thank you . i just came by from stopping at the mansion and saw justin . he seemed pretty ... happy to see me . it was nice , you know ? no , you know what ? stop it . lose the look . nothing -- come on , seriously . nothing has changed ! i 'm with lucas , and he knows that . you know , how are you guys ? how 'bout that ? how are you doing ? kayla : we 're good . steve : we 're fine . yeah , we 're pretty good . adrienne : yeah ? yeah ? tripp still not wanting to talk to you ? steve : well , you know , actually , he 's , uh , warmed up to us a little bit . adrienne : really ? steve : yeah . adrienne : that 's awesome ! fine . then i wan na meet this nephew of mine . you can just give him his phone number , now , ca n't you ? steve : okay . sure , i can . he 'll wan na meet you too . tripp : i 'm just gon na have it out with him -- who killed my mom ? no more lies ! jade : no . you ca n't do that . tripp : why not , huh ? i deserve to know . jade : yes , you do , but ... like i said , it 's just a hunch . i mean , i know she did it , but i do n't have any proof . i mean , if you go to them right now , they 're just gon na lie to your face again , and you 're gon na be right back where you started . tripp : yeah . maybe i need to come at this from another angle . abigail : god , that 's so fast . dario : hey . here . i got you some tea . what 's going on ? what 's ... what 's the matter ? abigail : i just got an email from my attorney ... that they sent chad 's lawyer the divorce papers that i filed . [ somber music ] chad : thank you . [ phone beeps ] chad : well , the pilot called , said it 'll just be a ... couple hours so he can fuel and do all the maintenance checks . hope : thanks . and i appreciate the ride home . chad : 'cause it 's free ? hope : [ whispers ] i 'm thrifty . chad : well , um ... this trip was a bust for the business thing , so i 'm gon na .. i 'm ready to go on and git . all i got ta do ... is pack . hope : well , do n't mind me . just ... pack away . chad : [ under breath ] perfect . just think that it 's ... it 's kinda weird that you 're gon na sit here and watch me pack . hope : do n't forget . i got the free drink . chad : uh - huh . kinda seems as though you 're just keeping an eye on me . hope : yeah . i am . [ phone beeps ] hope : do n't forget ... i made a promise to look out for you . chad : yeah , you keep telling me that . [ edgy music ] hope : what 's wrong ? chad : um ... abigail just filed for divorce . [ footsteps approach ] adrienne : tripp ? tripp ! oh , my gosh , this is amazing . thank you so much for returning my call . tripp : yeah , you know , it 's not every day i get to meet a new relative . adrienne : [ laughs ] no . me either . i was so happy to find out i had another nephew . in fact , i was downright excited when steve told me . tripp : well ... thanks . it 's nice to hear . [ clears throat ] adrienne : so i understand you 're from arizona . tripp : yeah . adrienne : really ? excellent ! i just got back from there . i have three grown sons in scottsdale . [ laughs ] one thing you 're gon na find about the johnson family ... we are very tight - knit . we 're always checking in on each other , always visiting , you know ? tripp : yeah , steve , uh , talks about family a lot , how ... important it is . adrienne : yes . he means every word . i think part of it is ... well , growing up , his home life was n't really ideal , you know ? in fact , it was downright miserable . tripp : yeah . i heard a little about that . adrienne : well , it 's in the past , but i think that 's why steve tries so hard so make sure that that does n't happen to his family . and , tripp , i know ... he 's desperate to make up for all the years that he missed being your dad . tripp : yeah , well , he says a lot of things , but ... adrienne : he 's a good man . you wo n't find any better . and again , i think part of it is that he 's trying to ... trying to make up for what a horrible man our father was . tripp : yeah , when i did a search on steve 's dad -- or your dad ... all it said was that he died suddenly . adrienne : yeah , um ... i might as well tell you . i ... [ sighs ] he was killed . by me . uh , it was ... self - defense . it could n't be helped . and i was very young . [ stammers ] look , the important thing that you need to know about what happened is that steve ... took the blame for it . because that 's the kind of man he is , tripp . when he loves someone , he does anything he can to protect them . never forget that . [ soft , dramatic music ] chad : this is impossible . i do n't -- it does n't make any sense . hope : chad , call her . call her right now . chad : she 's not gon na answer ! hope : i 'm sorry . i 'm so sorry . chad : why would n't she just wait until i get home so we could at least -- we could -- we could try to talk it out and work things through ? i 'm not gon na sit here and talk about this with you . you 're her family ... hope : chad . you became family the day that you married abigail . look at me . we 're good . chad : it just does n't make any sense . hope : is it ... is it possible that she 's -- i do n't know -- doing it to see how you 'll react ? i - i 'm glad that you decided to go home so the two of you can talk . i imagine she 's ... very confused . maybe you could change her mind . chad : no . she 's sure . dario : look , if you wan na back out or slow things down , you should probably do it sooner than later . [ footsteps ] dario : mrs. deveraux . um ... okay , look , i 'm gon na go back to the club . i 'll be there if you need me . abigail : okay . [ quiet music ] jennifer : i 'm assuming he 's not the one who upset you . so it must be chad . abigail : mom , can we please just not talk about this right now ? jennifer : yeah , if that 's what you want . you know what ? actually , no , abigail . i have been walking around on eggshells worried sick about you , and you need to tell me what 's going on . abigail : i filed for a divorce . [ dramatic musical flourish ] chloe : oh , hey . justin , how are you ? justin : eting i have to get to . chloe : okay . i wo n't keep you . justin : have you even ... seen brady yet ? or is that too much to ask ? chloe : yeah . i 've been a couple of times . i 'm probably gon na go later . i - i 'm sorry , what 's with the hostility ? what 's wrong ? justin : you do know that he may die , right ? chloe : yeah , i do know that . it 's because the drugs are n't working anymore and the heart transplant is failing . but ... justin : but what ? chloe : why are you acting like it 's my fault ? i 'm not the one who shot him . justin : no . but you 're the one who set this whole thing in motion , chloe . chloe : i 'm sorry , xander is the one who shot him , and he 's an insane criminal . you 're blaming me ? justin : yeah . now he has nicole and holly held captive . i hope that pleases you . [ soft pop over pa ] chad : i know exactly why she 's doing this . she 's doing this ... so she can move on with somebody else . [ lightly edgy music ] hope : who ? chad : your boyfriend 's brother . hope : dario ? chad : yeah . hope : [ laughs ] that 's ridiculous , i highly doubt -- chad : that 's exactly what she 's doing . i 've seen them together , believe me . she -- [ laughs ] she -- she smiles , she laughs , she puts it on for him , and i already know for a fact that dario 's in love with her . hope : no , you need to take a step back right now , and you need to ask yourself -- no , you need to ask yourself ... would abigail file for divorce so she can go out with someone else ? i think the answer to that is no . no ! chad , it 's not who she -- [ softer ] it 's not who she is . you know that . so do i . aside from the fact that rafe and i would know all about it . jennifer : abigail , that is the worst decision that you could ever make . you just separated ! abigail : it needed to be made permanent , mom . jennifer : have you even talked to chad about this ? abigail : there 's nothing to even talk about . jennifer : of course there is . baby , listen to me . you are not ... done . the two of you are never going to be over each other . abigail : it 's over , mom . we 're done . for good . [ dramatic music swells ] kayla : ohh ... steve : baby ... you tuckers me out . kayla : oh , come on . you love it . steve : well , i love being with you . kayla : hey , tripp . steve : hey . kayla : join us . tripp : hey . [ clears throat ] steve : so , uh , did you meet your aunt adrienne ? she said she was gon na try to get in touch with you . tripp : yeah , yeah , we met , uh , had a ... had a good talk . steve : good . tripp : in fact , she 's actually the reason i came looking for you . i 've decided ... well , maybe we should start getting to know each other a little better . steve : well , that 's great , man . kayla : i think you just made your dad 's day . maybe his whole week . steve : she 's right , you did . come on , sit down , join us . tripp : thanks . [ ahem ] yeah , i - i decided it 's , uh ... it 's time i get to know a lot more about ... everybody . [ ambient music playing ] chloe : hey , i need a drink , like right now . dario : i got just the thing . specialty of the day . how 's nicole and holly ? chloe : i do n't know . all i do is worry about them . oh , and get this -- justin just blamed me for everything . said everything 's my fault . dario : that 's ... kinda harsh . tell you what . i 'll make this drink for two ... or four ... or ten . [ both chuckle ] dario : whatever . i 'm gon na join you . it 's on the house , okay ? chloe : thanks . what are you worried about ? dario : life . i 'm a constant worrier . so ... we 'll drink till one of us quits . chloe : okay . what does the winner get ? dario : we 'll figure that out when we 're buzzed . are you ready ? chloe : game on . jennifer : i just -- i do n't understand . i really do n't . how -- how can you just do something that is so rash ? abigail : i 'm not , mom ! look , chad has always accused me of running away when things get tough , and , okay , he 's right -- but that 's not what i 'm doing right now , okay ? i 'm standing up for what i know to be true . the fact of the matter is chad is in love with two women . and i needed him to be there for me , 100 % , and he was n't ! jennifer : he 's the one who wanted to renew your wedding vows -- it was his decision . abigail : those are words , totally words . and i watched him when he got close to gabi , and it was painful . he kept telling me he just needed more time , he was gon na make this huge transition . i got tired of waiting . i just needed him to give himself to me totally , mom . jennifer : i understand that , honey . but feelings ... they just ca n't be switched on and off . abigail : well ... he sure switched them off when he thought that i was dead . and he fell in love with gabi . so i am bringing this all to a close . divorce will make this final . in fact , i have already ... sent notice to his lawyers . chad : that 's a nice idea . wish it were true . hope : you do n't know that . as far as we know , she -- she could be testing you , seeing if you 'll get on a flight and fly home and try to talk her out of it . chad : you do n't understand ! she 's made it clear ! she 's walking away . and the thing is ... i love abigail ... not just because of who she is , but she is the mother of my child . and -- and , yeah , okay , so i -- i have feelings for gabi . i 've told her that and -- and ... she wants all of me . she wants my whole heart , and rightfully so , but i ca n't give that to her ... right now . right now . [ murmurs ] i ca n't ... [ somber music ] hope : well ... i will tell you ... that i doubt that abigail is filing for divorce because of dario . chad : yeah . well , she 's moving out either way . [ music swells ] just trying to protect holly , right ? dario : of course i do . so we both hate that nicole and holly are in trouble , but you ca n't let justin kiriakis get to you . chloe : yeah . he 's such a ... blowhard . [ both chuckle ] dario : you ca n't let anybody tell you how to feel , all right ? my brother was just in here doing the same exact thing . i mean , who do these people think that they are , right ? chloe : yeah . right . [ both laugh ] chloe : okay , i ... i think i 'm gon na have to declare you the winner of this . dario : you quit ? chloe : yeah , i quit . i have to call my mom in new york -- i miss my son -- to make sure he 's okay . thank you . dario : you 're welcome . chloe : for all the drinks . dario : you 're welcome . it 's my pleasure . you should take a cab home . chloe : will do , will do . dario : right ? cab . [ ambient music in background ] adrienne : finally ! i was beginning to think you got lost . jennifer : i am so sorry . adrienne : no , do n't be . so the story idea i was thinking about of where the kids are getting their drugs , they 're -- jennifer ? jennifer , is something wrong ? jennifer : um ... yeah . adrienne : what ? jennifer : you know what , you 're gon na hear about it anyway , so , um ... abigail is divorcing chad . adrienne : what ? jennifer : mm - hmm . and i know that i have had my problems with chad , but i really think he 's a good guy , and now i feel like he 's part of our family . abigail 's making a huge mistake . hope : maybe you do need some space . chad : yeah . abby 's giving me all the space that i need . hope : i 'll see you at the airport . in an hour or two . chad : hope , uh , the , um ... the , uh , the promise . thank you . [ soft instrumentals ] chad : i want you to imagine that all of the ... the old -- old books are gone and all of the busts and all of the creepy old furniture . and then i want you to imagine that all of that is replaced , and the walls are painted a beautiful light color , and there are pictures of our family all over the place . thomas 's toys are scattered all over . are you imagining that ? abigail : mm - hmm . chad : now open 'em . wait -- no , close 'em . i 'm sorry . i forgot -- daisy 's crib is in corner . abigail : daisy ? chad : yep . our daughter . abigail : [ laughs ] oh , yeah , our daughter . chad : hold on , wait a second . what is that ? is that fluffy i hear barking somewhere ? fluffy ! abigail : fluffy ? chad : yeah , fluffy , all right ? it 's a perfect name for a dog that 's gon na run around and play with toys and chase balls all over the house . abigail : i do n't know about that name . chad : okay , well , fine . it does n't have to be fluffy . abigail : i meant daisy . and , chad , we ca n't really be sure that our next child 's gon na be a girl . chad : well , then , you can name our next child whatever you want . and our third ... [ soft music ] abigail : somebody 's planning on a big family . chad : well , it 's our future . might as well plan big . i do n't understand . you -- you 're alive . [ baby cries ] chad : no ...

[ kayla giggles ] steve : still with me ? kayla : yeah . steve : you know , i 've been thinking ... maybe tripp really is starting to come around . i mean , the way he stood up for joe at the pub ... kayla : right . when they got in that fight . steve : yeah , and then afterwards , it was weird . it was like something changed . tripp was ... actually kinda nice to me . kayla : [ chuckles ] i 'm happy for you . steve : [ laughs ] i do n't know . maybe joe finally got his brother to see what ava was really like . tripp : you said you thought it was really kayla who killed my mom . how sure are you ? jade : well , that 's my hunch . it 's a strong hunch , though , really strong . you 're blaming the wrong person , tripp . you got ta leave steve alone . the one you should hate is kayla . rafe : apparently , it does n't take much to fry your brain . lani price went undercover to try to catch one of these halo dealers . had to swallow some and ... really did a number on her . jennifer : did she get really violent ? rafe : mm - mm . jennifer : i mean , because there was a kid at the center who busted out the whole front window of the antique store and then another kid who stole a car and ripped the insides of it completely apart . rafe : my god . no . well , if these dealers are targeting kids in schools , their sentences are automatically doubled . the trick is catching them . jennifer : well , that 's why i 'm here . i may have a lead for you . rafe : hmm .

[ kayla giggles ] justin : so , how is everyone ? everyone 's good ? adrienne : they 're wonderful . healthy , happy . oddly enough , though , they kept saying how much they wanted us to get back together . tripp : i - is there any proof ? i mean , kayla does n't seem like somebody who smothers people to death . jade : yeah . that 's because she 's completely two - faced . look , ava kidnapped kayla and locked her away with no food and no water . you know about that , right ? well ... did you know that ava told steve the only way that she would let kayla go was ... if he slept with her ? well ... steve hopped in her big bed and ... did his duty . and , of course ... he was never gon na tell kayla about it , right ? trouble is ... ava filmed the whole thing with her phone . and ... when kayla was finally free and everything was supposed to go back to normal , ava sent her a private little porn movie . which ... of course , made kayla over - the- top crazy ... and the rest is history . tripp : so this ... film made kayla commit murder ? jade : well , that and ... other stuff . tripp : like what ? jade : ava just kept sticking it to her , you know ? and they wound up getting into it in the park -- hair pulling and punching each other . then later , ava snuck into steve and kayla 's house ... and gave herself a morphine overdose . well , the only people that have access to morphine are doctors , right ? and everyone had seen them fighting and ... it was kinda the perfect frame - up . tripp : a - ava overdosed so she would frame kayla for other -- jade : well , that 's what kayla 's claiming , but ... i mean , maybe ava was telling the truth . kayla said that she came home and found ava blacked out with a needle still in her arm . and she was alive , so they rushed her to the hospital , and she pulled through . tripp : w - well , if kayla saved her , why would she hurt her ? jade : because your mom made a big scene at the hospital . she told everyone that kayla was the one that gave her the overdose . she was saying , `` help me , save me , do n't let her do it to me again , `` that kinda stuff . so ... kayla shut her up . tripp : suffocated her . jade : yeah . tripp : and steve took the blame . jade : he loves her . tripp : i - i got ta say , my mom does n't exactly come off as a person who -- jade : well , okay , maybe not , but , i mean ... she may have been a little off her spool , but ... is that really a reason to murder someone ? abigail : oh , god .

[ exhales ] thank you . [ soft music ] tripp : this is just so weird . like ... i really felt a good vibe with kayla . jade : yeah . that 's what she does . she 's a total pro . she 'll be your best friend . and then ... she 'll turn around and stab you in the back . tripp : that 's what she did to you . jade : and loved every minute of it . i mean , everyone thinks she 's some kind of saint ... with the cardigan sweater and the perfect , perky little smile . but what they do n't see ... is when she 's done with you , she will slice you up in a heartbeat . [ dark music ] kayla : hey ! adrienne : how are you ? mmm , so good to see you . kayla : good to see you ! steve : how was glamping in arizona ? adrienne : oh , it was awesome ! i 'm so rested and relaxed . kayla : well , you look great . adrienne : well , thank you . steve : welcome home . adrienne : thank you . i just came by from stopping at the mansion and saw justin . he seemed pretty ... happy to see me . it was nice , you know ? no , you know what ? stop it . lose the look . nothing -- come on , seriously . nothing has changed ! i 'm with lucas , and he knows that . you know , how are you guys ? how 'bout that ? how are you doing ? kayla : we 're good . steve : we 're fine . yeah , we 're pretty good . adrienne : yeah ? yeah ? tripp still not wanting to talk to you ? steve : well , you know , actually , he 's , uh , warmed up to us a little bit . adrienne : really ? steve : yeah . adrienne : that 's awesome ! fine . then i wan na meet this nephew of mine . you can just give him his phone number , now , ca n't you ? steve : okay . sure , i can . he 'll wan na meet you too . tripp : i 'm just gon na have it out with him -- who killed my mom ? no more lies ! jade : no . you ca n't do that . tripp : why not , huh ? i deserve to know . jade : yes , you do , but ... like i said , it 's just a hunch . i mean , i know she did it , but i do n't have any proof . i mean , if you go to them right now , they 're just gon na lie to your face again , and you 're gon na be right back where you started . tripp : yeah . maybe i need to come at this from another angle . abigail : god , that 's so fast . dario : hey . here . i got you some tea . what 's going on ? what 's ... what 's the matter ? abigail : i just got an email from my attorney ... that they sent chad 's lawyer the divorce papers that i filed . [ somber music ] chad : thank you . [ phone beeps ] chad : well , the pilot called , said it 'll just be a ... couple hours so he can fuel and do all the maintenance checks . hope : thanks . and i appreciate the ride home . chad : 'cause it 's free ? hope : [ whispers ] i 'm thrifty . chad : well , um ... this trip was a bust for the business thing , so i 'm gon na .. i 'm ready to go on and git . all i got ta do ... is pack . hope : well , do n't mind me . just ... pack away . chad : [ under breath ] perfect . just think that it 's ... it 's kinda weird that you 're gon na sit here and watch me pack . hope : do n't forget . i got the free drink . chad : uh - huh . kinda seems as though you 're just keeping an eye on me . hope : yeah . i am . [ phone beeps ] hope : do n't forget ... i made a promise to look out for you . chad : yeah , you keep telling me that . [ edgy music ] hope : what 's wrong ? chad : um ... abigail just filed for divorce . [ footsteps approach ] adrienne : tripp ? tripp ! oh , my gosh , this is amazing . thank you so much for returning my call . tripp : yeah , you know , it 's not every day i get to meet a new relative . adrienne : [ laughs ] no . me either . i was so happy to find out i had another nephew . in fact , i was downright excited when steve told me . tripp : well ... thanks . it 's nice to hear . [ clears throat ] adrienne : so i understand you 're from arizona . tripp : yeah . adrienne : really ? excellent ! i just got back from there . i have three grown sons in scottsdale . [ laughs ] one thing you 're gon na find about the johnson family ... we are very tight - knit . we 're always checking in on each other , always visiting , you know ? tripp : yeah , steve , uh , talks about family a lot , how ... important it is . adrienne : yes . he means every word . i think part of it is ... well , growing up , his home life was n't really ideal , you know ? in fact , it was downright miserable . tripp : yeah . i heard a little about that . adrienne : well , it 's in the past , but i think that 's why steve tries so hard so make sure that that does n't happen to his family . and , tripp , i know ... he 's desperate to make up for all the years that he missed being your dad . tripp : yeah , well , he says a lot of things , but ... adrienne : he 's a good man . you wo n't find any better . and again , i think part of it is that he 's trying to ... trying to make up for what a horrible man our father was . tripp : yeah , when i did a search on steve 's dad -- or your dad ... all it said was that he died suddenly . adrienne : yeah , um ... i might as well tell you . i ... [ sighs ] he was killed . by me . uh , it was ... self - defense . it could n't be helped . and i was very young . [ stammers ] look , the important thing that you need to know about what happened is that steve ... took the blame for it . because that 's the kind of man he is , tripp . when he loves someone , he does anything he can to protect them . never forget that . [ soft , dramatic music ] chad : this is impossible . i do n't -- it does n't make any sense . hope : chad , call her . call her right now . chad : she 's not gon na answer ! hope : i 'm sorry . i 'm so sorry . chad : why would n't she just wait until i get home so we could at least -- we could -- we could try to talk it out and work things through ? i 'm not gon na sit here and talk about this with you . you 're her family ... hope : chad . you became family the day that you married abigail . look at me . we 're good . chad : it just does n't make any sense . hope : is it ... is it possible that she 's -- i do n't know -- doing it to see how you 'll react ? i - i 'm glad that you decided to go home so the two of you can talk . i imagine she 's ... very confused . maybe you could change her mind . chad : no . she 's sure . dario : look , if you wan na back out or slow things down , you should probably do it sooner than later . [ footsteps ] dario : mrs. deveraux . um ... okay , look , i 'm gon na go back to the club . i 'll be there if you need me . abigail : okay . [ quiet music ] jennifer : i 'm assuming he 's not the one who upset you . so it must be chad . abigail : mom , can we please just not talk about this right now ? jennifer : yeah , if that 's what you want . you know what ? actually , no , abigail . i have been walking around on eggshells worried sick about you , and you need to tell me what 's going on . abigail : i filed for a divorce . [ dramatic musical flourish ] chloe : oh , hey . justin , how are you ? justin : eting i have to get to . chloe : okay . i wo n't keep you . justin : have you even ... seen brady yet ? or is that too much to ask ? chloe : yeah . i 've been a couple of times . i 'm probably gon na go later . i - i 'm sorry , what 's with the hostility ? what 's wrong ? justin : you do know that he may die , right ? chloe : yeah , i do know that . it 's because the drugs are n't working anymore and the heart transplant is failing . but ... justin : but what ? chloe : why are you acting like it 's my fault ? i 'm not the one who shot him . justin : no . but you 're the one who set this whole thing in motion , chloe . chloe : i 'm sorry , xander is the one who shot him , and he 's an insane criminal . you 're blaming me ? justin : yeah . now he has nicole and holly held captive . i hope that pleases you . [ soft pop over pa ] chad : i know exactly why she 's doing this . she 's doing this ... so she can move on with somebody else . [ lightly edgy music ] hope : who ? chad : your boyfriend 's brother . hope : dario ? chad : yeah . hope : [ laughs ] that 's ridiculous , i highly doubt -- chad : that 's exactly what she 's doing . i 've seen them together , believe me . she -- [ laughs ] she -- she smiles , she laughs , she puts it on for him , and i already know for a fact that dario 's in love with her . hope : no , you need to take a step back right now , and you need to ask yourself -- no , you need to ask yourself ... would abigail file for divorce so she can go out with someone else ? i think the answer to that is no . no ! chad , it 's not who she -- [ softer ] it 's not who she is . you know that . so do i . aside from the fact that rafe and i would know all about it . jennifer : abigail , that is the worst decision that you could ever make . you just separated ! abigail : it needed to be made permanent , mom . jennifer : have you even talked to chad about this ? abigail : there 's nothing to even talk about . jennifer : of course there is . baby , listen to me . you are not ... done . the two of you are never going to be over each other . abigail : it 's over , mom . we 're done . for good . [ dramatic music swells ] kayla : ohh ... steve : baby ... you tuckers me out . kayla : oh , come on . you love it . steve : well , i love being with you . kayla : hey , tripp . steve : hey . kayla : join us . tripp : hey . [ clears throat ] steve : so , uh , did you meet your aunt adrienne ? she said she was gon na try to get in touch with you . tripp : yeah , yeah , we met , uh , had a ... had a good talk . steve : good . tripp : in fact , she 's actually the reason i came looking for you . i 've decided ... well , maybe we should start getting to know each other a little better . steve : well , that 's great , man . kayla : i think you just made your dad 's day . maybe his whole week . steve : she 's right , you did . come on , sit down , join us . tripp : thanks . [ ahem ] yeah , i - i decided it 's , uh ... it 's time i get to know a lot more about ... everybody . [ ambient music playing ] chloe : hey , i need a drink , like right now . dario : i got just the thing . specialty of the day . how 's nicole and holly ? chloe : i do n't know . all i do is worry about them . oh , and get this -- justin just blamed me for everything . said everything 's my fault . dario : that 's ... kinda harsh . tell you what . i 'll make this drink for two ... or four ... or ten . [ both chuckle ] dario : whatever . i 'm gon na join you . it 's on the house , okay ? chloe : thanks . what are you worried about ? dario : life . i 'm a constant worrier . so ... we 'll drink till one of us quits . chloe : okay . what does the winner get ? dario : we 'll figure that out when we 're buzzed . are you ready ? chloe : game on . jennifer : i just -- i do n't understand . i really do n't . how -- how can you just do something that is so rash ? abigail : i 'm not , mom ! look , chad has always accused me of running away when things get tough , and , okay , he 's right -- but that 's not what i 'm doing right now , okay ? i 'm standing up for what i know to be true . the fact of the matter is chad is in love with two women . and i needed him to be there for me , 100 % , and he was n't ! jennifer : he 's the one who wanted to renew your wedding vows -- it was his decision . abigail : those are words , totally words . and i watched him when he got close to gabi , and it was painful . he kept telling me he just needed more time , he was gon na make this huge transition . i got tired of waiting . i just needed him to give himself to me totally , mom . jennifer : i understand that , honey . but feelings ... they just ca n't be switched on and off . abigail : well ... he sure switched them off when he thought that i was dead . and he fell in love with gabi . so i am bringing this all to a close . divorce will make this final . in fact , i have already ... sent notice to his lawyers . chad : that 's a nice idea . wish it were true . hope : you do n't know that . as far as we know , she -- she could be testing you , seeing if you 'll get on a flight and fly home and try to talk her out of it . chad : you do n't understand ! she 's made it clear ! she 's walking away . and the thing is ... i love abigail ... not just because of who she is , but she is the mother of my child . and -- and , yeah , okay , so i -- i have feelings for gabi . i 've told her that and -- and ... she wants all of me . she wants my whole heart , and rightfully so , but i ca n't give that to her ... right now . right now . [ murmurs ] i ca n't ... [ somber music ] hope : well ... i will tell you ... that i doubt that abigail is filing for divorce because of dario . chad : yeah . well , she 's moving out either way . [ music swells ] just trying to protect holly , right ? dario : of course i do . so we both hate that nicole and holly are in trouble , but you ca n't let justin kiriakis get to you . chloe : yeah . he 's such a ... blowhard . [ both chuckle ] dario : you ca n't let anybody tell you how to feel , all right ? my brother was just in here doing the same exact thing . i mean , who do these people think that they are , right ? chloe : yeah . right . [ both laugh ] chloe : okay , i ... i think i 'm gon na have to declare you the winner of this . dario : you quit ? chloe : yeah , i quit . i have to call my mom in new york -- i miss my son -- to make sure he 's okay . thank you . dario : you 're welcome . chloe : for all the drinks . dario : you 're welcome . it 's my pleasure . you should take a cab home . chloe : will do , will do . dario : right ? cab . [ ambient music in background ] adrienne : finally ! i was beginning to think you got lost . jennifer : i am so sorry . adrienne : no , do n't be . so the story idea i was thinking about of where the kids are getting their drugs , they 're -- jennifer ? jennifer , is something wrong ? jennifer : um ... yeah . adrienne : what ? jennifer : you know what , you 're gon na hear about it anyway , so , um ... abigail is divorcing chad . adrienne : what ? jennifer : mm - hmm . and i know that i have had my problems with chad , but i really think he 's a good guy , and now i feel like he 's part of our family . abigail 's making a huge mistake . hope : maybe you do need some space . chad : yeah . abby 's giving me all the space that i need . hope : i 'll see you at the airport . in an hour or two . chad : hope , uh , the , um ... the , uh , the promise . thank you . [ soft instrumentals ] chad : i want you to imagine that all of the ... the old -- old books are gone and all of the busts and all of the creepy old furniture . and then i want you to imagine that all of that is replaced , and the walls are painted a beautiful light color , and there are pictures of our family all over the place . thomas 's toys are scattered all over . are you imagining that ? abigail : mm - hmm . chad : now open 'em . wait -- no , close 'em . i 'm sorry . i forgot -- daisy 's crib is in corner . abigail : daisy ? chad : yep . our daughter . abigail : [ laughs ] oh , yeah , our daughter . chad : hold on , wait a second . what is that ? is that fluffy i hear barking somewhere ? fluffy ! abigail : fluffy ? chad : yeah , fluffy , all right ? it 's a perfect name for a dog that 's gon na run around and play with toys and chase balls all over the house . abigail : i do n't know about that name . chad : okay , well , fine . it does n't have to be fluffy . abigail : i meant daisy . and , chad , we ca n't really be sure that our next child 's gon na be a girl . chad : well , then , you can name our next child whatever you want . and our third ... [ soft music ] abigail : somebody 's planning on a big family . chad : well , it 's our future . might as well plan big . i do n't understand . you -- you 're alive . [ baby cries ] chad : no ...

carly : parker , what are you doing here ? parker : i 'm looking for dad . i just want to make sure that craig 's still locked up . carly : i told you -- they arrested him last night . everything is under control . you should stay as far away from here as possible . parker : how do you know that it 's under control ? have you talked to craig ? do you know what 's he saying ? carly : [ sighs ] well , he 's trying to make excuses . but your father has evidence that he stole the money from your trust fund . parker : does he have evidence that he started the fire ? carly : i 'm sure your dad 's on top of everything . you should n't be here . parker : craig 's going to deny that he knew that gabriel was in that building , and he 's going to deny that he attacked him . what if dad believes him ? carly : parker , at this point , nobody is going to believe a word that man says . parker : even if it 's the truth ? carly : hey , do n't worry , okay ? you 're safe , as long as you keep your head clear and your mouth shut . [ scene_break ] jack : what are you doing here ? and why are n't you in cuffs ? craig : you did n't hear ? i made bail . [ scene_break ] dusty : so the money was transferred into janet 's account , no problem ? thanks , eduardo . thanks for handling things so quickly . i appreciate it . buddy , how you doing ? we got all afternoon , no school . how lucky are you ? johnny : can we see my other dad ? dusty : maybe later . we 'll see him soon . johnny : then can we go to the park ? dusty : done . let 's go . janet : well . [ sighs ] look who it is -- the handsomest guy i know , and he 's with dusty . dusty : say `` hi `` to janet . johnny : hi , janet . dusty : how you doing ? janet : i 'm good . i 'm -- i 'm tired , but i 'm good . dusty : you 're not going to work , are you ? you worked all night , did n't you ? janet : i did , but now i 'm going to see a man about an apartment , and this is the only time the landlord could fit me in , so -- dusty : a new apartment , huh ? janet : yeah . dusty : you okay -- i mean , financially and otherwise ? 'cause my offer still stands . all my offers do . janet : thanks , but uh , my dad actually left me some money . dusty : really ? janet : yeah . a blessing and a surprise . dusty : that 's good , if it 's what you want . janet : it is . [ scene_break ] holden : hey there . molly : holden , you 're early . holden : yeah , i know . i - i got here sooner than i thought . molly : i just need a few more minutes . i 'm working on something that just came in . holden : big story ? molly : i 'll say . craig montgomery was arrested last night . holden : because of the fire ? molly : yeah , he was charged with arson and attempted murder , among other things . it looks like he 's in real trouble this time . holden : attempted murder of gabriel caras ? molly : yeah . and i got to say i feel partly responsible . holden : why ? molly : i 'm the one that got him the job at monte carlo to begin with . holden : yeah , but you did n't know that this was going to happen . molly : no , but getting an innocent kid a job with craig montgomery ? i should have known that was n't going to end well . but it 's turning into one hell of a story . holden : so , what do you think ? do you need a little more time before we go to lunch ? molly : is that okay ? holden : yeah , yeah . it 's fine . you know what ? i actually have something that i need to take care of , so i 'll be back in a little bit , okay ? [ scene_break ] lily : i just got off the phone with the hospital . there 's still no change . gabriel still has n't regained consciousness . [ sighs ] i could n't sleep at all last night . lucinda : you need to stop feeling so guilty , darling . you 're not responsible for what happened . lily : no ? if we 'd never kept the truth about gabriel from craig , none of this would have happened . craig would have known that gabriel was his son from the start . lucinda : the choice was made 20 years ago to protect gabriel from his father , and i still stand by it . and -- [ chuckles ] from what has transpired in the short time that they 've known each other , we did the right thing . lily : did we ? lucinda : it 's too late for regrets . what 's done is done . lily : i 'm sorry . i ca n't be as cold and pragmatic about this as you can . [ doorbell rings ] lily : [ sighs ] mother , i 've got to go . lucinda : dear , do n't beat up on yourself so much . it 's not your fault . lily : goodbye , mother . holden ? is everything all right ? holden : craig was arrested last night . lily : what ? why ? holden : for arson and for the attempted murder of gabriel caras . [ scene_break ] jack : bail 's temporary . it does n't mean you 're off the hook , and it sure as hell does n't mean you 're innocent . craig : but there 's degrees of guilty , jack . i - i never meant to steal from parker . i borrowed that money to get monte carlo going for carly . i always intended to put the money back . jack : but you did n't . craig : that 's because ellis , my snake of an accountant , stole it . jack : how does that make the situation any better for my son ? his financial future is wiped out because of you . and there 's a kid in the hospital fighting for his life ! craig : i did n't start that fire . jack : right . craig : i swear to you , jack , if i knew gabriel was in there , i would have gone in after him myself ! what kind of monster would do that to -- ? jack : do that to -- craig : to anybody . to anybody . i 'm guilty of a lot of things , jack , but not that . jack : you almost sound sincere . craig : i am . i do n't like gabriel , but i would -- i would never hurt him like that -- ever . jack : what about you , carly ? you know craig better than anybody . do you think he 's telling the truth ? craig : you know me , carly . i 'm a lot of things . carly : you certainly are -- a thief , a liar , a hypocrite , and apparently , an arsonist . craig : i did n't start that fire . i 'm not a killer . carly : are you kidding ? when you 're desperate , you 're capable of anything . you put a bomb in paul 's car when he took over worldwide . you ran rosanna off the road to shut her up when she found out you switched gwen and jennifer 's babies . craig : i 'm a different man now . carly : no , you 're not . to answer your question , jack , i do n't think craig 's got a sincere bone in his body . whoever paid your bail ought to have their head examined , and they should certainly lock up their children . craig : well , i 'm sorry you feel that way . i would have thought -- carly : what ? craig : nothing . never mind . i 'll take that as my cue to leave . carly : good . go . get out of my sight . jack : do n't even think about skipping town because wherever you go , however long it takes , i will find you . craig : i 'm not going anywhere . i 'm going to stay and face the music . and i 'll prove that i had nothing to do with what happened to gabriel , however long that takes . jack : got to hand it to him -- he 's good . he almost had me believing him . carly : well , do n't . craig will say anything right now to save his hide . jack : what 's weird is that he 's willing to cop to stealing parker 's money , but not to what happened to caras . carly : well , that 's the trick , is n't it ? he admits to the -- the lesser crimes and pleads innocent to the zinger . jack : maybe . carly : come on , jack . you 're smarter than that . do n't let him fool you .

[ sighs ] look who it is -- the handsomest guy i know , and he 's with dusty . dusty : say `` hi `` to janet . johnny : hi , janet . dusty : how you doing ? janet : i 'm good . i 'm -- i 'm tired , but i 'm good . dusty : you 're not going to work , are you ? you worked all night , did n't you ? janet : i did , but now i 'm going to see a man about an apartment , and this is the only time the landlord could fit me in , so -- dusty : a new apartment , huh ? janet : yeah . dusty : you okay -- i mean , financially and otherwise ? 'cause my offer still stands . all my offers do . janet : thanks , but uh , my dad actually left me some money . dusty : really ? janet : yeah . a blessing and a surprise . dusty : that 's good , if it 's what you want . janet : it is .

[ scene_break ] lily : i just got off the phone with the hospital . there 's still no change . gabriel still has n't regained consciousness . [ sighs ] i could n't sleep at all last night . lucinda : you need to stop feeling so guilty , darling . you 're not responsible for what happened . lily : no ? if we 'd never kept the truth about gabriel from craig , none of this would have happened . craig would have known that gabriel was his son from the start . lucinda : the choice was made 20 years ago to protect gabriel from his father , and i still stand by it . and -- [ chuckles ] from what has transpired in the short time that they 've known each other , we did the right thing . lily : did we ? lucinda : it 's too late for regrets . what 's done is done . lily : i 'm sorry . i ca n't be as cold and pragmatic about this as you can .

[ scene_break ] jack : bail 's temporary . it does n't mean you 're off the hook , and it sure as hell does n't mean you 're innocent . craig : but there 's degrees of guilty , jack . i - i never meant to steal from parker . i borrowed that money to get monte carlo going for carly . i always intended to put the money back . jack : but you did n't . craig : that 's because ellis , my snake of an accountant , stole it . jack : how does that make the situation any better for my son ? his financial future is wiped out because of you . and there 's a kid in the hospital fighting for his life ! craig : i did n't start that fire . jack : right . craig : i swear to you , jack , if i knew gabriel was in there , i would have gone in after him myself ! what kind of monster would do that to -- ? jack : do that to -- craig : to anybody . to anybody . i 'm guilty of a lot of things , jack , but not that . jack : you almost sound sincere . craig : i am . i do n't like gabriel , but i would -- i would never hurt him like that -- ever . jack : what about you , carly ? you know craig better than anybody . do you think he 's telling the truth ? craig : you know me , carly . i 'm a lot of things . carly : you certainly are -- a thief , a liar , a hypocrite , and apparently , an arsonist . craig : i did n't start that fire . i 'm not a killer . carly : are you kidding ? when you 're desperate , you 're capable of anything . you put a bomb in paul 's car when he took over worldwide . you ran rosanna off the road to shut her up when she found out you switched gwen and jennifer 's babies . craig : i 'm a different man now . carly : no , you 're not . to answer your question , jack , i do n't think craig 's got a sincere bone in his body . whoever paid your bail ought to have their head examined , and they should certainly lock up their children . craig : well , i 'm sorry you feel that way . i would have thought -- carly : what ? craig : nothing . never mind . i 'll take that as my cue to leave . carly : good . go . get out of my sight . jack : do n't even think about skipping town because wherever you go , however long it takes , i will find you . craig : i 'm not going anywhere . i 'm going to stay and face the music . and i 'll prove that i had nothing to do with what happened to gabriel , however long that takes . jack : got to hand it to him -- he 's good . he almost had me believing him . carly : well , do n't . craig will say anything right now to save his hide . jack : what 's weird is that he 's willing to cop to stealing parker 's money , but not to what happened to caras . carly : well , that 's the trick , is n't it ? he admits to the -- the lesser crimes and pleads innocent to the zinger . jack : maybe . carly : come on , jack . you 're smarter than that . do n't let him fool you . [ jack sighs ] carly : hey . jack : hmm ? carly : you look exhausted , baby . you 've been here most of the night . why do n't we go home ? we could have something to eat and have a little rest . jack : that sounds good . carly : and , uh , we could use some alone time . jack : listen , i 've got so many things i 've got to take care of here . i got to look over the report from the -- the arson investigation . i got to call the bank reps about parker 's money . carly : hey , they 'll -- they 'll all be here in a couple of hours . come on . what good are you going to be to anyone if you 're wiped out ? jack : true . carly : plus , i need you . jack : do you , now ? carly : yeah , bad . we have n't had any time together since you got back from rocco 's funeral . please ? [ scene_break ] janet : so , how long are they going to keep craig ? dusty : it depends if he makes bail . janet : well , in the meantime , do you need some help with johnny ? dusty : no . janet : you sure ? dusty : yeah , i got it covered . you got your own stuff to worry about . janet : oh , come on . i 've been known to juggle more than one thing at a time . dusty : you do n't have to , not now , but the offer is appreciated . janet : so is your understanding . thanks for not pushing . dusty : you need space . i get it . janet : thanks . dusty : so , tell me about this place of yours . janet : it 's -- it 's really cute . it 's a 3-bedroom walk - up , over by the lake , and it needs a little tlc , but the appliances are fairly new , and the rent 's cheap . so , there you go . dusty : it sounds great . johnny : when can i see it ? dusty : well , who knows ? got to ask janet . janet : you are welcome anytime -- both of you .

[ scene_break ] lily : there 's nothing about gabriel being craig 's son in -- in any of these news reports . obviously , it has n't gotten out yet . holden : i doubt craig wants anyone to know , under the circumstances . lily : yeah , he was pretty upset when i told him . [ scoffs ] i ca n't even imagine what 's going through his mind right now . holden : well , i 'm not too worried about what he 's thinking . i 'm more worried about what he might do . thank god he 's in prison . i do n't want him anywhere near you or the kids . lily : do you think all of this would have played out differently if he 'd known the truth from the beginning ? holden : you know what ? i would n't even go there . lily : but i feel so guilty . holden : it happened a long time ago . you , sierra , your mother -- you guys did what you thought you had to do . lily : you sound like my mother . holden : and i think maybe you should listen to her for once . lily : maybe . but i still feel like i should do something now . holden : what are you going to do ? lily : i do n't know , but i ca n't pretend that i 'm not involved . holden : i - i think you need to do exactly that -- stay out of it . lily : it 's not that easy , holden . holden : it 's not about what 's easy . it 's about what 's right for our family . lily : i 'm sorry my mother dragged you into this mess . it 's not something you should be worried about . holden : no , i 'm glad she told me , especially after the way craig came after her . the guy 's a loose cannon right now . lily : [ sighs ] not if he 's behind bars . holden : well , even if he is , we ca n't let our guard down . i 'm going to go talk to jack , see what 's going on . lily : that 's a good idea . holden : promise me one thing . lily : what ? holden : if anything happens , anything out of the ordinary , call me . lily : i will . and thank you . i do feel safer knowing that you 're close by .

because otherwise connor will never see the ranch . nick : it 's chelsea 's call to make . abby : if chelsea has a problem with dad , she should take it up with him . not use her son to make a point . nick : well , i did n't ask for your opinion , abby . victor : i think your sister is right . if chelsea has something to say to me , she should say it to my face . that , by the way , goes for all of you . i know you have something on your mind in regard to me , and just say it . all right ?

victor : nothing but the truth . victoria : i am completely frustrated by the situation . i know that you are so relieved because adam somehow grew a conscience and begged for forgiveness , but there are consequences , dad . i was arrested , and i was put in jail for what he did . victor : yeah , but you were cleared . victoria : not in the court of public opinion , i wasn't . victor : who gives a damn about public opinion ? victoria : i care about that . i had to pick the kids up from school today , and another mother congratulated me on getting out of jail again . billy : you did n't say anything about that to me . victoria : [ sighs ] i 'm used to people 's assumptions about the newmans -- that we 're corrupt , that we use our money as a get - out - of - jail - free card , that we get away with things that others don't . victor : sweetheart , let me tell you something . ever since i 've run this company and been in this town , there have always been people who said bad things about us , about our family , about me . okay ? who gives a damn what they think ? victoria : what am i supposed to tell my children about our family 's reputation ? nick : i do n't have an answer for that . i mean , faith is coping , mostly 'cause she 's away at boarding school , but summer is hurt and angry . and connor is confused and heartbroken . victor : okay . i understand that completely . but let me ask you -- would connor be better off if his father were in prison now ? nick : that 's not the point . victor : well , then , what is ? billy : the point is , your clever little scheme hurt everyone who did n't deserve it . everyone but adam . victor : well , you could n't be more wrong , billy boy . devon : and -- and that 's -- that 's the kind of woman that hilary was . you know , she -- she touched a lot of people 's lives , and she achieved a whole lot in a very short amount of time . amanda : well . a force . devon : yeah . and i thought it was important for you to know more about her so you can see how vicious it would be for somebody to exploit somebody like that . amanda : i ca n't imagine mr . chancellor doing something so insidious . devon : well , how well do you know mr . chancellor ? amanda : he has a sterling record -- a soldier , a public servant . devon : right . which makes me wonder if the person you 're really working for is chance . amanda : you are grasping at straws , mr . hamilton . trying to avoid facing the uncomfortable truth . devon : well , you think maybe you 're avoiding the fact that you might be getting played ? amanda : sooner or later , you 're gon na have to face the truth , and the fact that you are living off of the fortune that belongs to someone else . have a good night . victor : thank you all for your honest opinions . but i 've got to tell you that i am adam 's father , okay . as far as i 'm concerned , he has paid more of a price than any of you . he 's been humiliated , cut off from his family , and he 'll probably never see us again . who knows ? nick : well , that 's what happens when a criminal goes on the run . do n't try and twist this into a noble sacrifice . abby : look , no one forced us to make the choices that we made . victoria : no one wanted adam to get away with attempted murder . abby : i believe wholeheartedly that adam should be behind bars . but dad did what any of you would do -- he protected his child . and what matters is that we saved dad 's life , and we should feel good about the decision that we made together . victor : thank you , sweetheart . nikki : you wanted their honest opinion . victor : yes . and i 'm very glad that you all spoke up . it 's always good to clear the air . nick : all right . uh ... i 'm gon na go . i want to check on christian and see how chelsea 's doing . nikki : oh , darling , already ? nick : yeah . sorry , mom . i got to go . i love you . i 'll call you in the morning . nikki : oh ... nick : see you , dad . victor : goodbye , son . billy : we should probably go relieve hannah . nikki : oh , no . ca n't you stay for dinner ? victoria : mom , some other time . mwah ! nikki : [ sighs ] victoria : i love you . nikki : i love you . victoria : bye , daddy . victor : bye , sweetheart . abby : dinner ? nate : i 'm gon na need to take a rain check . [ sighs ] call me if anything comes up . victor : i shall do that . thank you for coming , nate . nikki : nate , you have been a lifesaver . nate : comes with the job . take care . victor : thank you . i shall . nate : you ready ? abby : [ sighs ] bye , daddy . i love you . victor : i appreciate what you said , okay ? abby : bye , nikki . nikki : bye , darling . abby : thank you . cane : [ sighs ] [ cellphone rings ] phyllis : [ sighs ] you want to tell me what you 're doing with adam 's phone ? michael : after you tell me why you 're calling it . you want to find out what happens when you aid and abet a fugitive ? sharon : i could have paid for mine . rey : well , i 'm old - fashioned . gentleman pays for the date . sharon : is this a date ? rey : that 's for you to judge . sharon : well , i guess it depends . rey : can i walk you to your car ? sharon : i thought you 'd never ask . nikki : do n't be discouraged . adam did a lot of damage . but he 's gone now . and we will recover . it 's just gon na take some time , you know ? victor : i wish i could be as optimistic . nikki : darling , you 've seen how far your children are willing to go for you . and they would do anything to protect you from adam . victor : [ sighs ] nikki : but how are they supposed to feel knowing that everything you did was for adam 's sake ? victor : i 'm adam 's father , and , you know , he never lived down the fact that i did n't raise him . he 's bitter about that . and i -- i 'm trying to understand that . so he deserves more of me than my other children do . i 've been there for them since they were babies . not for him . you know ? nikki : well , i think the one thing we did learn is that all of your children need you very much . victor : thank you , my sweetheart . what would i do without you , hm ? my baby . nikki : [ sighs happily ] oh , i do n't know victor : come here . lola : tonight 's special is a shrimp mojo criollo . it is a citrus marinade with garlic and oregano . you will love it . michael : are you gon na tell me why you were trying to reach adam , or should i just assume the worst ? phyllis : [ sighs ] oh , come on , michael . sometimes a cigar is just a cigar . michael : heh . phyllis : i am house - sitting for adam , and , um ... i ca n't figure out his kitchen appliances . that espresso machine . it talks to you . michael : mm - hmm . phyllis : well , the refrigerator , you have to have a phd to understand it , it 's so smart . michael : i 'm sure you 'll make do . phyllis : why do you have adam 's phone ? michael : oh , he , uh , sent it to me by courier , along with the access code . phyllis : why would he do that ? michael : this was his arsenal . every incriminating photo , text . all the leverage he accumulated since the day he arrived . phyllis : did he have dirt on you or someone you love ? michael : not anymore . phyllis : what was on it ? michael : he wiped it clean . was there anything in particular you were hoping to find ? phyllis : well , it could have been a veritable treasure trove of dirty secrets , right ? nate : why do you need to know if i 'm still victor 's physician ? cane : uh , i 'm just kind of curious to know if , uh -- you know , did he mention where adam might have flown off to , or ... ? nate : okay . i 'm done . whatever you 're up to , keep me out of it . cane : all right . listen , i 'm sorry . i - i do n't want to make -- nate : you need to know about victor , go to the source . ' scuse me . nate : hey . [ sighs ] tell me something . what would you prescribe for a case of chronic cold shoulder ? elena : [ sighs ] you lied to me about victor . nate : i 'm sorry . elena : [ snorts softly ] you did for victor what you would n't have done for any other person in this world . nate : yeah , i wish i could say it was the first time . elena : what is it about this family ? is it the money ? is it the name ? is it the girl ? nate : i wanted to help . victor is a very persuasive man . he was in danger . elena : but what about you and your reputation ? do n't you matter just as much ? nate : i 'm an honest person . i do n't dishonor the promises i made when i became a doctor . but ... that family , they have a way of making everything life or death . and after that , a million different ways to rationalize it . [ sighs ] and i hate it . phyllis : give my love to lauren . michael : sure . cane : trent . hey , mate . it 's , uh , cane ashby . yeah . it has been a while . um ... listen , i 'm doing this research project for , uh , jill , and , uh , i 'm kind of on this deadline . so i was kind of wondering , can you fuel up the company jet and fly me out to vegas ? uh - huh . yeah , that 's right . tonight . next week on `` the young and the restless `` ... phyllis : we 'll play with chips , but we 're not playing for money . devon : your ego and your ambition have become serious liabilities . you 're no longer employed by any division of hamilton - winters in any capacity . victoria : you 're not getting away with it this time , dad . | sharon and rey have a long talk over drinks at society and sharon tells rey she is glad adam left town and she hopes he never returns this makes rey happy and he walks sharon to her car . summer goes to girls night at adam 's penthouse with phyllis . summer and phyllis argue because summer wonders how phyllis could house sit for the man who almost killed victor and has done so many other horrible things . summer heads to society where lola offers to listen to her problems or she offers to let summer eat her feelings so summer decides to eat her feelings because she does n't feel like talking . cane asks nick , nate and rey where adam could be and rey tells him that he could talk to riza thompson in vegas but she does n't like to talk much to anyone . devon meets amanda sinclaire at the grand phoenix to tells her the kind of person hilary was and advises her not to be caught up in a scheme by a con artist who only wants money . amanda tells him to face reality that he has been living off money that belongs to someone else . the newman family dinner gives nick victoria , nate , and billy a chance to tell victor how upset they are that his plan ruined their lives and adam was n't put in jail . abby is the only one who defends victor by saying that he was only protecting his child . phyllis gets a text message and heads to society where she is surprised that michael has victor 's phone . michael explains that adam sent him the phone by courier along with the access code . michael tells phyllis adam wiped the phone clean of all the incriminating evidence and leverage he had accumulated since he came to town . phyllis overhears cane borrowing the chancellor jet to go to las vegas . | <s>[INST] [ previously_on ] sharon : i think it 's good adam 's gone . rey : i know this has n't been easy for you . sharon : well , it 's helped a lot that i have you to talk to . devon : so , cane ? he 's the one who was meant to get my share of katherine 's estate ? amanda : mr. chancellor wanted the truth to come to light so that katherine chancellor 's actual wishes would be realized . and to expose the fact that mr . mccall altered her will to benefit you . devon : your client has a lot of explaining to do . cane : where was his last known location ? devon : he was in vegas with adam . victor : i think , on the whole , things turned out well . but i have now created a rift between those in our family who were in on the plan and those who were kept in the dark . michael : nikki , you look fantastic ! nikki : oh , well , thank you so much . michael : hey ! are you and victor going out tonight ? nikki : no , no . we 're staying in . just a little family get - together . victor : instead of the funeral we had planned . michael : well , if i ever had the choice between being feted by my family or eulogized at my own funeral , i would pick the party any day . nikki : heh . it 'll be nice to just relax and enjoy each other without all of the pressure we 've been under . michael : yeah . i 'm sorry i added to that sense of doom by issuing that arrest warrant for victoria . but , uh , i did n't think i had a choice after the evidence showed up in her office . nikki : well , michael , it did n't `` show up . `` it was planted . victor : i know we put you in a difficult position . nikki : thanks to adam . michael : well ... any second thoughts about letting him go ? victor : absolutely not . michael : i hope you 're at least keeping tabs on his whereabouts in case he decides to launch another attack against your family ? victor : i 'll handle this my way , michael . lola : what can i get my favorite detective ? rey : honesty . justice for all , no matter how much money you have in your bank account . lola : hmm . you know , i was thinking more along the lines of a seafood stew , a flan ... rey : yeah . sorry . lola : do n't be . i know the situation with victor newman must be driving you crazy . rey : you know , it 's the secret and lies that really bother me , especially since they came from my boss , who gave me so much grief about the way that i handled the j.t . case , and not being so forthcoming about mia attacking you . although he allows the entire police department to get roped into this newman murder - mystery dinner theater . a - and look . there goes one of the stars of the show now , basking in the spotlight . i guess helping fake someone 's death really increases your fan base . lola : rey ... [ sighs ] summer is as much of a victim as anyone else . you know , all she knew was that her grandfather was dead , and that her aunt got arrested for it . i mean , if you 're angry that your boss misled you , think about how she feels . her family lied to her day after day . rey : fine . whatever . lola : oh . sit up straight . show me -- show me those pearly whites . rey : why ? lola : go say hi . rey : she 's got her phone out , she 's scrolling through her messages . she 's probably expecting someone . lola : okay , so you can deduce all that from all the way over here ? lola : come on ! go test your theory , detective rosales . she 's smiling . that 's a good thing . rey : maybe she 's smiling at you . lola : oh , come on . no one smiles at me like that . unless i 've served them food . but just get over there . go . come on . rey : shhh ! be cool . lola : [ chuckles ] elena : i just hate the fact that you have to cancel all of your appointments to meet with this amanda sinclair . devon : oh , you and me both , honey . elena : i mean , it 's clear she 's involved in a scam . the only question is if she 's in on it . i mean , she showed up to your last meeting with photocopies of bogus will pages and terrible excuses as to why chance ca n't be there . when you have bigger , more important things to deal with . i think you should just blow it off . devon : you 're really riled up about this , huh ? elena : if it affects you , it affects me . devon : baby . elena : you know what you should do ? devon : what should i do ? elena : you should hire a team of lawyers to talk to this amanda sinclair and show her what she stands to lose if she keeps up with this scam . show her who she 's dealing with . devon : i think that you missed your calling , and you should have been a lawyer yourself . that 's what i think . elena : [ chuckles ] no , i just come from the school of , `` if you do n't start any problems , there wo n't be any problems . `` devon : oh . elena : and right now , we just need to fix the problem . devon : i know . i agree with you . but we need some answers right now . and , unfortunately , i think amanda sinclair might be the only one who has them . elena : [ sighs ] abby : i ca n't decide whether i like you better in scrubs or out of them . nate : you 're leaving me speechless . abby : well , it 's all part of my plan . i have been waiting for this all day . nate : where would you like to go tonight ? the world is your oyster . abby : well , if you 're up for it , we 've been invited to a house party . nate : a house party ? abby : my father 's house . i - it 's nikki 's party . they invited us over to the ranch for some drinks . i thought we could stay there for a while , and then we can do whatever you want . nate : how long is `` a while `` ? abby : i thought that you would want to go . gives you a chance to check up on your patient . nate : [ sighs ] nick : hey , have you guys seen summer ? i thought she might be here with phyllis . abby : uh , she was earlier . did you try jabot ? nick : i tried . no luck . abby : do n't worry . she 'll come around . she always does . nick : i hope you 're right . are you two heading to the ranch ? nate : uh ... we 'll be there . nick : all right . i 'll see you there . abby : you wo n't regret it . nate : i 'm sure . cane : hey , nick . nick : hey , cane . what 's up ? cane : hey . um ... have you heard about this lawyer that looks like hilary 's double who 's claiming that katherine 's will has been forged ? nick : yeah . devon said you two were trying to figure out what 's going on . have you learned anything ? cane : she 's claiming she was hired by chance , which is making me think there might be , like , a link between chance and adam . nick : yeah , it 's worth investigating . cane : yeah , it 's just that devon said that adam has left town . so i 'm kind of thinking , you know , he may be trying to reconnect with his old friend . you know , and if i could find adam , you know , it might lead me to chance . nick : yeah , i wish i could help . but adam 's the last person i want to talk about right now . but good luck . additional sponsorship lola : uh , hey , summer . summer : yeah ? lola : how are you doing ? summer : um ... i do n't know . you know how us newmans are . there 's always somebody coming back from the dead . i do n't know . i guess i should be used to it by now . but it 's just the lying that really guts me . lola : i 'm so sorry . summer : thanks .

[ cellphone chimes ] wait . she knows . lola : [ chuckles ] mariah : work your magic . cane : ms. sinclair . hey . um , listen , in case i did n't make myself clear to you the other day , i 'm not really on board with whatever you 're trying to pull . you know , and whoever 's trying to make me look like a money - hungry fraud is just gon na destroy your reputation in the process . so if i were you , okay -- amanda : with all due respect , mr . ashby , i do n't need to take advice from you or anyone else . devon : what 's going on here ? cane : nothing . no , i 'm just , uh , telling ms . sinclair here that it 's probably in everyone 's best interests if she drops the case . devon : okay . well , i 'm sure you made your point . so if you 'll excuse us . cane : all right . ' scuse me . devon : yeah . i 'm sorry about that . amanda : what , the ambush ? devon : i did n't have anything to do with him coming to talk to you . if i have something i want to say to you , i have no problem saying it myself . all right ? are we cool ? amanda : well , that remains to be seen . devon : well , let me try and make things cool , then . all right ? 'cause i 'm -- i 'm well aware that it 's mostly my fault that we started off on the wrong foot . it 's just you , coming into my apartment , looking like hilary , talking about my grandmother 's will , it was a lot for me . and , you know , those were two parts of my life that i thought were dead and buried . amanda : i can see how that would be difficult . devon : right . and assuming that you 're out to scam me may have been unfair . amanda : `` may have been `` ? devon : yeah . i - i -- i just -- i need some more proof before i believe that this claim is legit . but i am willing to consider the possibility that you 're working on good faith . amanda : wow . well , that is mighty big of you , mr . hamilton . devon : listen , i have a lot of questions about how this whole thing went down , and i 'm sure you do , too . and i think the best way for us to get any answers is to work together . michael : i was just telling your folks how glad i was that , uh , paul was able to exonerate you as quickly as he did . victoria : well , thank god he did n't stop digging until he got to the truth . billy : i 'm sure your workload 's a lot lighter now that adam 's out of the picture . you know , no blackmail , no frame - ups . victoria : it feels good to be free , does n't it , michael ? billy : you can be your own man again . maybe even uphold the law . victoria : by the way , how are kevin and chloe ? michael : oh , great . great . uh ... bella 's in kindergarten , and kevin is working for the gcpd again . victoria : oh , i 'm so glad that it all worked out . michael : [ inhales ] well , i should be going . nikki : oh , no . michael , ca n't you stay ?

victor : some things take time to resolve themselves , you know . billy : yeah . well , with adam out of town , god knows where , i would watch your back if i was you . victor : you know , in retrospect , i wish i 'd been able to seek your sage advice , billy boy . you 're trying to put your own life together , are n't you ? i mean , how did that go ? billy : it 's going well , actually . thanks for asking . victor : really ? wow . keep up the good work . hope nothing happens to shatter your illusion . lola : uh ... hello ? what are you waiting for ? an engraved invitation ? rey : [ sighs ] has anybody ever told you that you are a pest ? lola : wow . rey , you know , you will thank me later when the two of you are back together . cane : hey , uh , detective rosales . hey . we have n't formally met . i 'm cane ashby . rey : oh . how can i help you ? cane : hey , uh , i 'm trying to see if there 's a connection between chance chancellor and adam newman . i know you were investigating adam when you worked for nick . rey : yeah . that was a long time ago . that trail went cold . cane : okay . well , do you have any idea where , maybe , i could start looking for him , or who i could talk to , or ... ? rey : they had a mutual friend in vegas , riza thompson . cane : riza thompson . rey : yeah . but i would n't expect much . when i spoke to her , she was n't very forthcoming . but good luck . excuse me . cane : okay . thanks . rey : hi . sharon : hi . rey : i saw you when you came in . looked like you were waiting for somebody . sharon : would you believe it ? i got stood up . rey : their loss . you mind if i join you ? sharon : i think you should . we would n't want to disappoint the chef , since she 's been cooking this up all night . abby : hi . you look gorgeous . nikki : hi , sweetheart . thank you . you , too . abby : hi , daddy . victor : hi , sweetheart . nikki : hi . victor : now , wait a minute . there is not a bottle of tequila in that bag , by any chance ? nate : uh , afraid not . victor : well , wait a minute . this is a social occasion . this is not a check- up , is it ? nate : i was promised a chance to examine my patient , so i 'm gon na hold you to it . victor : hmm ! you 're gon na take me away from my own party ? nikki : i think we can survive a few minute without you . victor : well , if you insist . abby : mwah ! i promise , we will be here when you get back . victor : thank you . billy : can i get you a drink ? you want champagne or something ? nick : i 'll take a beer . thanks . hey , what 'd you do to nate ? he looks like he 's going to a funeral . abby : well , it 's not what i did . it 's what we all did . he hates that we went to such extremes to protect dad from adam . nick : [ sighs ] yeah . join the club . abby : see , that 's the thing . it 's not his club . it 's ours . we 're used to the rules and the games and a certain amount of drama . nick : not sure that 's a good thing . summer : so , how long have you been living here ? phyllis : um , since adam went out of town . summer : does he know ? phyllis : yeah , he gave me the keys . summer : why ? phyllis : 'cause he trusts me . summer : that 's a little creepy . phyllis : [ stammers ] [ sighs ] we 're not gon na talk about that . we 're not gon na get into that . hey , we are going to drink expensive wine and pig out on junk food -- like the junkiest of junk . and we 're gon na watch the trashiest of tv shows . and maybe we can call somebody over , and they can give us facials and foot massages . i have a new app for that . summer : uh , yeah . i do n't know . phyllis : oh , well . i 'm sure that 's exactly what the newmans are doing right now at their party . summer : i 'd pay money to see that . phyllis : thank you for choosing to be with me tonight . thank you . i 'm sure they put a lot of pressure on you to be with them . summer : oh , they 're just trying to make it up to me after what happened . phyllis : oh , what happened ? you mean shattering your heart in a million pieces and telling you that your grandfather died when he had n't ? oh , wow . all of this is just their brainwashing plan to keep you in line . [ sighs ] they lie , and they twist the truth , and they devastate you . but it 's all for the good of the family , and it 's for a good cause . and then they give a party , so they 're gon na wipe away all those hard feelings . `` caviar darling ? oh , you do n't like caviar ? `` `` how about a car ? because everybody likes cars . `` summer : okay , mom , that 's not fair . phyllis : oh , really ? they 're fair ? they make up their own rules , and then they break them . summer : okay , i did n't come here for this . phyllis : i 'm sorry . okay ? listen ... [ sigh ] i 'm sorry . i do n't want to do this to you . i just -- i want to validate you on you standing up for yourself , and you taking a stand , and you calling them out on what they do . i want to validate you for that . summer : i should go . phyllis : okay . i 'm gon na be good . i 'm not gon na talk about them anymore , i promise . summer : [ scoffs ] it 's not just the topic of conversation , mom . it 's being in adam 's lair , where he plotted to take christian away from my dad , where he plotted to try to murder his own father , and who knows what else ? i mean , do you know what else , mom ? phyllis : how would i know anything ? summer : you praise me for taking a strong moral stand , but you 're sitting here house - sitting for a criminal . what are you thinking ? amanda : i have to say , this is a much nicer way of doing business than how we started . devon : i thought you were enjoying trying to put me in my place . amanda : well , it -- it did have its moments . but i did n't appreciate the automatic suspicion or the ugly accusations . i had no intention of manipulating you . devon : well , i 'm sure it has n't been easy walking into rooms and having people look at you like you 're a ghost . amanda : it 's clear that hilary ... was a very special person . a lot of people cared about her . devon : they really did . and i know you said you watched a few episodes of the `` gc buzz , `` but that 's just the tip of the iceberg , and ... if you want , i would be more than happy to tell you a little more about her . amanda : i would like that . very much . phyllis : i mean , look at this place . first - class amenities . that gorgeous view . i mean , how could i say no ? summer : uh , it 's pretty easy . it 's , uh , one syllable . it 's two letters . phyllis : oh , come on . it 's not that big a deal . it does n't mean anything . summer : to you , maybe . phyllis : listen , after what adam did to me , he owes me . i mean , i 'm the one taking advantage of him , really . summer : oh , my god . does it not bother you at all that he tried to kill my grandfather ? phyllis : there 's no proof of that . summer : you 're defending him now ? phyllis : victor did n't die . he did n't even come close . it was a hoax . summer : oh , my god . [ huffs ] adam has done horrible , unforgivable things , and you 're making excuses for him just like abby and dad make excuses for grandpa . phyllis : [ crunching ] summer : everybody is living in this weird gray area where there 's no right from wrong . there 's just what they can get away with . phyllis : mmm . what they can get away with . you dipped your toe in the gray area , too , did n't you , summer ? no judgment . summer : wow . phyllis : [ sighs ] what ? summer : you 're even making excuses for me now . phyllis : that 's what we do . i am a mother . i make excuses for my children . summer : well , maybe , if your expectations and your standards had been just a little higher , i would have been a better person . phyllis : [ laughs ] oh , wow . it 's my fault . that is rich . [ knock on door ] i have to get that . summer : yeah . i 'm sure that you do . phyllis : mm - hmm . we 're not done talking about this . we 're gon na finish this as soon as i get rid of this person . cane : hey . phyllis : hey , cane . cane : hey . phyllis : hey , it 's not a great time right now . cane : yeah , well , i just need a couple of minutes . i just want to talk to you about adam . summer : well , you know what , you guys have fun . i 'll see you later . phyllis : uh , summer -- summer . summer ! come back here ! cane : looks like your schedule just cleared up . [ snickers ] billy : i was even able to convince victoria to take an hour off of work this afternoon . nikki : good . she needs to get out of that office . billy : mm - hmm . victoria : my mother and i agreed not to speak about that tonight . it 's being handled . and there is no reason for my father to worry . billy : or get involved . victoria : exactly . victor : well , i just got a clean bill of health . nikki : wonderful news ! have you heard back from summer ? nick : yeah . she 's spending the evening with phyllis . nikki : will chelsea be joining us ? nick : she did n't want to leave connor . he 's still pretty messed up 'cause his dad left town . victor : well , to be honest with you , i disagree with that . i mean , that boy should know that he 's surrounded by a big , loving family right here . nick : i am sure chelsea will accept your invitation at some point . victor : please encourage her to do that , okay ? because otherwise connor will never see the ranch . nick : it 's chelsea 's call to make . abby : if chelsea has a problem with dad , she should take it up with him . not use her son to make a point . nick : well , i did n't ask for your opinion , abby . victor : i think your sister is right . if chelsea has something to say to me , she should say it to my face . that , by the way , goes for all of you . i know you have something on your mind in regard to me , and just say it . all right ? let 's clear the air . `` the young and the restless `` will continue . cane : hey , when was the last time you heard from adam ? phyllis : uh , since he gave me the keys to this place . cane : yeah ? phyllis : mm - hmm . cane : okay . did he , uh , mention where he was going ? phyllis : why are you interested ? cane : uh , i 'm just trying to find someone . you know , i 'm kind of thinking he might be able to kind of point me in the right direction . phyllis : i wish i could help you . cane : did he leave anything , you know , laying around ? like a -- i do n't know . like a computer or some phone bills or ... ? phyllis : secret messages written in code ? cane : [ chuckles ] phyllis : [ chuckles ] yeah . cane : yeah . that 's funny . um ... phyllis : uh , listen , if you told me what you were after , maybe i could help . cane : um ... do me a favor . if you hear from him , let me know , okay ? um ... i do n't want to take up any more of your time . thanks for the offer for the snacks , though . sharon : well , i 'm really glad you 're back on the force . that 's where you belong . rey : [ inhales deeply ] yeah . but it 's not the same without you . you ever think about taking another job besides running crimson lights ? sharon : eh , it crosses my mind . but i really like having all my free time . you know , i can travel at a moment 's notice . rey : ah , you thinking about taking a trip to see the fall foliage ? you know , there 's a couple places up north that are hitting their peak colors soon . sharon : listen to you . last year , you were a novice , and now ... rey : yeah , well , i had a good teacher . i figure if nature 's gon na go through all that trouble to put on this spectacular show , who am i to miss it ? sharon : yeah . rey : you know , seeing the leaves change brings back some memories . makes me think of you . sharon : is that a good thing ? rey : it 's the best . victoria : do you want the truth ? victor : nothing but the truth . victoria : i am completely frustrated by the situation . i know that you are so relieved because adam somehow grew a conscience and begged for forgiveness , but there are consequences , dad . i was arrested , and i was put in jail for what he did . victor : yeah , but you were cleared . victoria : not in the court of public opinion , i wasn't . victor : who gives a damn about public opinion ? victoria : i care about that . i had to pick the kids up from school today , and another mother congratulated me on getting out of jail again . billy : you did n't say anything about that to me . victoria : [ sighs ] i 'm used to people 's assumptions about the newmans -- that we 're corrupt , that we use our money as a get - out - of - jail - free card , that we get away with things that others don't . victor : sweetheart , let me tell you something . ever since i 've run this company and been in this town , there have always been people who said bad things about us , about our family , about me . okay ? who gives a damn what they think ? victoria : what am i supposed to tell my children about our family 's reputation ? nick : i do n't have an answer for that . i mean , faith is coping , mostly 'cause she 's away at boarding school , but summer is hurt and angry . and connor is confused and heartbroken . victor : okay . i understand that completely . but let me ask you -- would connor be better off if his father were in prison now ? nick : that 's not the point . victor : well , then , what is ? billy : the point is , your clever little scheme hurt everyone who did n't deserve it . everyone but adam . victor : well , you could n't be more wrong , billy boy . devon : and -- and that 's -- that 's the kind of woman that hilary was . you know , she -- she touched a lot of people 's lives , and she achieved a whole lot in a very short amount of time . amanda : well . a force . devon : yeah . and i thought it was important for you to know more about her so you can see how vicious it would be for somebody to exploit somebody like that . amanda : i ca n't imagine mr . chancellor doing something so insidious . devon : well , how well do you know mr . chancellor ? amanda : he has a sterling record -- a soldier , a public servant . devon : right . which makes me wonder if the person you 're really working for is chance . amanda : you are grasping at straws , mr . hamilton . trying to avoid facing the uncomfortable truth . devon : well , you think maybe you 're avoiding the fact that you might be getting played ? amanda : sooner or later , you 're gon na have to face the truth , and the fact that you are living off of the fortune that belongs to someone else . have a good night . victor : thank you all for your honest opinions . but i 've got to tell you that i am adam 's father , okay . as far as i 'm concerned , he has paid more of a price than any of you . he 's been humiliated , cut off from his family , and he 'll probably never see us again . who knows ? nick : well , that 's what happens when a criminal goes on the run . do n't try and twist this into a noble sacrifice . abby : look , no one forced us to make the choices that we made . victoria : no one wanted adam to get away with attempted murder . abby : i believe wholeheartedly that adam should be behind bars . but dad did what any of you would do -- he protected his child . and what matters is that we saved dad 's life , and we should feel good about the decision that we made together . victor : thank you , sweetheart . nikki : you wanted their honest opinion . victor : yes . and i 'm very glad that you all spoke up . it 's always good to clear the air . nick : all right . uh ... i 'm gon na go . i want to check on christian and see how chelsea 's doing . nikki : oh , darling , already ? nick : yeah . sorry , mom . i got to go . i love you . i 'll call you in the morning . nikki : oh ... nick : see you , dad . victor : goodbye , son . billy : we should probably go relieve hannah . nikki : oh , no . ca n't you stay for dinner ?

kate : what do you mean ? i do n't have anything to hide . lucas : what are you talking about ? you hate nick 's guts . kate : yeah , i know , and i told her that . i also told her that if i had had a loaded gun with me when i saw him yesterday , i would have been the one to pull the trigger . hope : so when was the last time you saw nick fallon ?

daniel : okay , i understand that you love eric , but when you love someone , you do n't lie to them about the most important thing in their life . nicole : what if you did n't find those papers ? you would have been thrilled for us . you would have said , `` wow , eric 's a happy guy . `` and then you and jennifer and eric and me , we 'd all be friends for life , and you know that . daniel : yeah , well , that all might be true , but i did see those papers , and nothing is going to change that now . eric : maybe the engagement surprised him . just do n't understand why it would make him so upset . jennifer : no , but daniel said that 's not what they were arguing about . eric : well , nicole does n't want us to find out about that argument because that 's why she was asking us to leave . daniel must have felt the same way . he backed her up . jennifer : well , daniel usually backs nicole up , whether it 's a good idea or not . daniel : well , hey , it should n't matter if i 'd seen those pages because you know . you know what you 've got to do . you risked your life to confront a lunatic doctor who drugged eric , and you did that because you knew that being a priest , it changed his life . nicole : he 's made peace with the fact that he ca n't be a priest anymore . daniel : but he can be ! you know that ! you know that in your heart . all he has to do is take those pages to somebody in authority , and bam , he is reinstated . nicole , i know what it feels like to be kept from the work that you love . it just -- it changes the fabric of who you are . and i 'm not just upset for him . i am worried about you . i am so worried about you -- nicole : yeah , i can tell that . daniel : i am . i am . because you keep telling yourself the end justifies the means , and you can live with that . but i do n't think you thought this out . i think you made a snap decision , but you had n't stopped once to think about what it would do to you to live this lie . you can make this right . you can make this right ... nicole : how can i make this right ? daniel : for both you and eric . how ? nicole : how ? he 's never gon na understand . he 'll hate me . come on , look . you -- you lied to jennifer to cover for jj . that did n't kill you . daniel : okay , that 's not the same thing , and you know it . not the same thing ! nicole : look , all i know is that i love eric and you claim to care about me . so , please , daniel , can you just stay out of it ?

he 's a cop . will : you think i do n't know that ? they 're gon na question him too . he 's gon na have to tell them what he heard . sonny : [ sighs ] they 're just gon na -- they 're not gon na let this go . they are going to keep pushing and pushing . will : but you put the gun back ... right ?

abigail : me , i guess . i ... i felt like he tricked me into giving him the name of a lawyer to represent gabi . hope : aiden jennings , right ? abigail : yeah . hope : what made you feel tricked ? abigail : because he did n't tell me the reason why he wanted a lawyer was so he could cut will out of arianna 's life as much as possible . hope : i see . last night , you were with someone when nick died . he , uh , was at the hospital with you . i need his name . abigail : ben . hope : last name ? abigail : i do n't know . ej : hey . sami : hey . how 's allie doing ? ej : she 's fine . she kept insisting she was n't tired , but she put her head on your mother 's lap , and she fell straight to sleep , so ... i 'm glad . she needed it . sami : i ca n't help thinking about the fact that we 've done this to them . ej : look , we will help her , okay ? we will see her through this . sami : all right . um , you 're right . i know you 're right . i have to go . i 'm gon na be late for this thing . and i 'll be home in a little bit , okay ? see you soon . with the famous footwear app , eric : hi . how 's it going ? nicole : sorry about all this . eric : you and daniel finish talking ? nicole : yeah . why do n't you meet me at my place ? eric : well , are you gon na tell me what this argument was about ? nicole : uh , well , i came over here to tell him about us and how happy we are , and then i realized he 's just sitting there with a bullet wound that i gave him . eric : nicole , that was an accident . nicole : yeah , i know , but still , it was pretty insensitive of me . i mean , here i am , going on and on about how everything 's worked out , and he 's sitting there thinking how he might not have been around to even hear the news . eric : yeah , well , that must have been very hard to hear . nicole : it was . i just ... i just could n't let it go . daniel 's a great friend , and i love him , and ... now i just -- i have n't had a chance to face him after what i did . eric : you two work that out ?

nicole : exactly . sonny : you know i would do anything to protect you , right ? will : of course i know that . and i 'd do the same for you . that 's why people marry each other , because they feel that way . sonny : for better or ... for worse , right ?

abigail : it was about the same thing . hope : nick using you to get a lawyer for gabi ? abigail : yeah . hope : what did ben do ? abigail : nick was , uh ... was kind of in my face , and so ben just told him that he should n't talk to me like that . hope : abigail , did you feel threatened ?

what happened ? nicole : so i told daniel about us , but , um , that 's not all we were talking about . eric : okay . nicole : uh , which is why , when i opened the door , i seemed so , um ... jennifer : tense ? because the two of you just seem really wired to me right now . nicole : no , no , that 's not it . it was just , um -- eric : this is about nick , right ? i talked to maggie this morning . she seemed pretty distraught . she wanted so much for nick to make a good life . daniel : yeah , no , i know . it 's been really rough on her . eric : and this must not be an easy day for you either . probably not the best day for us to be sharing our happy news . nicole : that 's what i was thinking . this is such a sad day . daniel : yes . yes , it is . but that 's not what we 're upset about at the moment . eric : then what are you upset about ?

sami : she 's just playing this gopher game over and over and over again on her tablet . marlena : maybe she does n't want to interact . sami : well , i was hoping you could , you know , spend some time with them and just , i do n't know , get her to engage with you . marlena : sure . where will you be ?

what are you talking about ? how in the world could you have known what was gon na happen to nick ? nicole : daniel 's right . we were talking about something upsetting , and we were n't finished . jennifer : but you opened the door before we had a chance to knock . you were leaving . nicole : yeah . i was walking out , and i should n't have done that . you know , if you could just give daniel and me a few more minutes , we could probably sort this out . right ? daniel : oh , we can try . eric : now i do n't get what 's going on . nicole : why do n't you come out in the hall , and i 'll try to explain ? i know what this must look like . eric : you told me you think of daniel as your best friend , but you look like you 're gon na kill each other . nicole : we 're not gon na do that . eric : and you 're not gon na tell me what you were arguing about ? nicole : not until i fix it with daniel . i just need a few more minutes with him alone , okay ? eric : and i 'm not going to leave you until i know you 're all right . nicole : i am . i promise . it 's really not that big of a deal . jennifer : are you sure that you 're happy to hear that nicole and eric are engaged ? because it sure does n't seem that way . daniel : we were n't arguing about them being engaged . jennifer : no , but you were arguing about something , and it was big . eric : what i suggest is that we give daniel and nicole some time to wrap up whatever this was . jennifer : oh ... okay . yeah , if that 's what you want . daniel : uh , yeah , i think that would be helpful , if you do n't mind . jennifer : okay , well , we 'll -- we 'll take a walk or something . eric : perfect . nicole : thank you very much . jennifer : sure . nicole : um , i 'll call you , okay ? eric : okay . lucas : i had to drop allie off at sami 's . kate : how is she ? lucas : she 's pretty shut down . therapist said we should just give her some time . kate : she 's gon na get through it . you know she 's one tough cookie . lucas : oh , god , i hope so . so anything been happening since nick died ? kate : well , you would think i would know , right ? especially since i just spent the last half hour being grilled by the pride of the salem pd . lucas : hope ? kate : yeah . lucas : well , you did n't tell her anything , did you ? kate : what do you mean ? i do n't have anything to hide . lucas : what are you talking about ? you hate nick 's guts . kate : yeah , i know , and i told her that . i also told her that if i had had a loaded gun with me when i saw him yesterday , i would have been the one to pull the trigger . hope : so when was the last time you saw nick fallon ? abigail : the day he died . hope : do you remember what time ? abigail : it was in the morning . hope : is that when julie walked in on the two of you arguing ? abigail : um ... hope : abigail , i 've already taken her statement . abigail : that 's right . hope : can you tell me what you and nick were arguing about ? nick : that perfect , little abigail deveraux is nothing but ej dimera 's whore . abigail : [ sighs ] hope : abigail ? what 's wrong ? sami : mom , i 'm not saying that i knew what was gon na happen to nick or that he was gon na be shot . i mean , who could know something like that ?

all right , bye . i love you , sweetheart . i love you so much . eric : do you have any idea what 's going on back at daniel 's ? jennifer : no , i have no idea , but i 'll tell you one thing . i know daniel very well by now . and when he gets quiet and he sets his jaw like that , he is furious . daniel : uh , i do n't know what else there is to talk about because you 're not gon na change my mind . nicole : yeah , you made it very clear i have to come clean with eric , even if that means i 'll almost certainly lose him . daniel : he was happy being a priest . he could be one again . nicole : you said you forgive me . so does n't that mean on some level you understand why i did it ? daniel : okay , i understand that you love eric , but when you love someone , you do n't lie to them about the most important thing in their life . nicole : what if you did n't find those papers ? you would have been thrilled for us . you would have said , `` wow , eric 's a happy guy . `` and then you and jennifer and eric and me , we 'd all be friends for life , and you know that . daniel : yeah , well , that all might be true , but i did see those papers , and nothing is going to change that now . eric : maybe the engagement surprised him . just do n't understand why it would make him so upset . jennifer : no , but daniel said that 's not what they were arguing about . eric : well , nicole does n't want us to find out about that argument because that 's why she was asking us to leave . daniel must have felt the same way . he backed her up . jennifer : well , daniel usually backs nicole up , whether it 's a good idea or not . daniel : well , hey , it should n't matter if i 'd seen those pages because you know . you know what you 've got to do . you risked your life to confront a lunatic doctor who drugged eric , and you did that because you knew that being a priest , it changed his life . nicole : he 's made peace with the fact that he ca n't be a priest anymore . daniel : but he can be ! you know that ! you know that in your heart . all he has to do is take those pages to somebody in authority , and bam , he is reinstated . nicole , i know what it feels like to be kept from the work that you love . it just -- it changes the fabric of who you are . and i 'm not just upset for him . i am worried about you . i am so worried about you -- nicole : yeah , i can tell that . daniel : i am . i am . because you keep telling yourself the end justifies the means , and you can live with that . but i do n't think you thought this out . i think you made a snap decision , but you had n't stopped once to think about what it would do to you to live this lie . you can make this right . you can make this right ... nicole : how can i make this right ? daniel : for both you and eric . how ? nicole : how ? he 's never gon na understand . he 'll hate me . come on , look . you -- you lied to jennifer to cover for jj . that did n't kill you . daniel : okay , that 's not the same thing , and you know it . not the same thing ! nicole : look , all i know is that i love eric and you claim to care about me . so , please , daniel , can you just stay out of it ? daniel : no , i am not gon na go round and round with you on this . i 'm not doing it . there 's no point in it . i ca n't . i 'm not gon na do it . you are not gon na change my mind . nicole : fine . then can you just please do me this one thing ? just do n't tell jennifer . daniel : okay , that 's -- she is gon na find out . nicole : i know ! daniel : she will find out ! nicole : but let me just tell eric before you say anything to jennifer , okay ? i just need some time to figure out what i 'm gon na say . daniel : you do n't have time ! we do n't have time ! they both already know that something 's wrong . so what would you like me to say ? tell me ! nicole : there is a way . daniel : nicole -- nicole : would you just please hear me out ?

ej : are you sure ? allie , you seem a little bit tired to me . allie : i do n't want to take a nap ! marlena : that 's okay . nobody 's going to make you do anything you do n't want to do . will : you 're being so quiet . sonny : i 'm just trying to figure out what would make any sane person go to the police and voluntarily admit he threatened to kill a guy who got killed a few hours later . will : but rafe broke up the fight . he heard me threaten nick . sonny : so he talked you into going to the cops ? he 's a cop . will : you think i do n't know that ? they 're gon na question him too . he 's gon na have to tell them what he heard . sonny : [ sighs ] they 're just gon na -- they 're not gon na let this go . they are going to keep pushing and pushing . will : but you put the gun back ... right ? it 's gone . they ca n't tie that to either one of us . they ca n't prove a thing . abigail : it just , uh , bothers me that the last time i saw nick , we were having a fight . hope : who started it ? abigail : me , i guess . i ... i felt like he tricked me into giving him the name of a lawyer to represent gabi . hope : aiden jennings , right ? abigail : yeah . hope : what made you feel tricked ? abigail : because he did n't tell me the reason why he wanted a lawyer was so he could cut will out of arianna 's life as much as possible . hope : i see . last night , you were with someone when nick died . he , uh , was at the hospital with you . i need his name . abigail : ben . hope : last name ? abigail : i do n't know . ej : hey . sami : hey . how 's allie doing ? ej : she 's fine . she kept insisting she was n't tired , but she put her head on your mother 's lap , and she fell straight to sleep , so ... i 'm glad . she needed it . sami : i ca n't help thinking about the fact that we 've done this to them . ej : look , we will help her , okay ?

nikolas : what 's got you so engrossed ? emily : ah . it 's a sketch of a wedding dress i 'm considering -- nikolas : yeah ? emily : which you ca n't see yet . nikolas : all right . well , if you ca n't find anything you like , we can always have helena and tracy decide , since they 've both teamed up to promote this happy occasion . emily : i was hoping they were n't serious . nikolas : they seem pretty serious to me . emily : yeah , yeah , i shudder to think what those two would do if they were actually able to influence our wedding . nikolas : yeah . do n't worry , we 'll elope before that happens . [ emily laughs ] emily : yeah , that 's not such a bad idea . you know , we could do it tonight -- hop in the jag , find a justice of the peace . nikolas : do n't tempt me , all right , because i 'm doing all of this stuff here just for you . i 'd be just as happy if we skipped it . emily : you know , seriously , nikolas , maybe we should . nikolas : are you serious ? because if you are , we 'll -- i 'll go right now . elizabeth : hello ! hey ! i know we 're early , but we just wanted to help . emily : help with what ? lucky : i knew it . elizabeth : your only engagement party here tonight ? nikolas : what ? emily : we did n't plan a party . nikolas : i think we have a pretty good idea who may have . [ scene_break ] donna : i 'm not sure i can keep up with the lies . i mean , i 'm afraid i might slip , or confuse emily with elizabeth and point the finger at the wrong girl . tracy : they are nothing alike . elizabeth is the short one with the pouty lips . helena : and you 'll keep the story straight . you have no choice . donna : look , i 'm a wreck . my -- my hands -- they 're shaking . tracy : take that . it 'll calm your nerves . [ scene_break ] mike : oh , wow . you look -- you look tired . you heading home for a good , long rest ? jax : no . actually , i feel great . i 'm going to pull an all - nighter . i intend to watch the sun come up . [ scene_break ] john : you should try the coffee . it 's quite good . steven : i thought you 'd be back in new york by now . john : what gave you that impression ? steven : well , let 's see -- your daughter , carly , does n't want anything to do with her newfound father , and port charles ' very own kingpin , who happens to be her husband , is itching to take you out . john : and your point is ? steven : why are you still hanging around here ? [ scene_break ] bobbie : there , and there . then you have to go through the same thing on the next page , and just get their signature . thank you . carly : mama -- hey , i need -- do you have a minute , because i really need to talk to you . bobbie : all right . carly : i met my father . his name is john durant and he 's a federal prosecutor in new york city . i see . you knew , right ? you knew all along . bobbie : yes , carly , i did . [ scene_break ] sonny : what did you find in durant 's hotel room ? jason : nothing . it 's clean . there 's no indication of what he 's doing here . sonny : oh . even though we all know that durant 's using carly 's connection to try to take us down ? jason : durant has spent his entire adult life taking guys like us off the street . he not only gets the arrest , he makes them stick right up through conviction . sonny : what about steven webber ? jason : he and durant have worked together in the past . sonny : all right , keep doing what you 're doing , ok ? those two showing up in port charles at the same time is not a coincidence . jason : i told carly to just stay away from durant . sonny : well -- yeah , well , i told her it 's her choice . jason : well , that could be a mistake . michael : daddy , come quick ! something 's wrong with morgan ! sonny : what do you mean ? michael : i do n't know . sonny : what do you mean ? [ scene_break ] elizabeth : ok , i 'm missing something here . what could be the ulterior motive in helena and tracy throwing you an engagement party ? nikolas : they want us to forget what they 're really doing -- framing emily for mary 's murder . emily : yeah , as if we could . lucky : all right , you know what ? let 's just put our heads together , sort out what happened the night that mary was killed . maybe something will jump out at one of us . nikolas : ok . emily left mary 's room and found elizabeth with the meds cart , right ? elizabeth : i realized i 'd forgotten the water , so i left em alone . emily : i picked up mary 's medication and thought about how easy it would be to switch it or overdose her , and then i took the pills into her room . lucky : and i saw you come out . elizabeth : wait , wait , wait a minute . back up . are you thinking that you somehow unconsciously switched mary 's meds for the ones that killed her ? emily : the thought has occurred to me , yeah . elizabeth : ok , well , get it out of your head because that 's impossible . a switch that specific would take conscious thought , and it could n't have happened in a second . nikolas : which means the lethal dose must 've already been in the cup when elizabeth brought the meds cart , right ? lucky : mary would 've died that night no matter who administered the drug . nikolas : yeah , so emily was just in the wrong place at the wrong time . elizabeth : that 's brilliant , you guys . lucky : yeah , but too bad we ca n't prove it . emily : and do n't forget the police have an eyewitness who swears that she saw me go into mary 's room with a med cup . lucky : a witness none of us ever saw . nikolas : exactly , which is why i think that nurse harris was never actually in the room . someone just paid her to say she was . [ scene_break ] donna : i 'm only doing this -- lying to the police and taking your money -- because my sister is in such need . tracy : we all have our price . donna : i only hope that god will forgive me for this . helena : oh , god 's wrath will pale in comparison to mine if you do n't follow our instructions to the letter . if you deviate even one iota -- donna : you do n't have to paint me a picture . i get your message loud and clear . helena : then we should n't have a problem . tracy : florence nightingale is a little too jumpy for my taste . the police could put some pressure on her . she could cave and admit that she not only was not on the floor the night mary was killed , but we paid her to say she was . helena : hmm . unless we keep nurse harris on point , neither of us gets what we want . tracy : yeah -- sweet , little , virtuous emily in prison with no chance of inheriting my mother 's money . helena : and nikolas free to marry someone more pliable . an actual bloodline would be nice . tracy : there 's one loose end . emily did not kill mary . someone did . it was you , was n't it ? [ scene_break ] john : i 'm not leaving port charles until sonny corinthos is behind bars . steven : how do you plan to accomplish that ? you 've lost the element of surprise . carly knows you 're her father , both she and sonny suspect your motives . where are you going to find your leverage ? john : come on , doc . you know me by now . never underestimate me . there are many , many inroads to carly and sonny . it 's all about picking just the right one . [ scene_break ] bobbie : i knew that john had become a federal prosecutor . and considering sonny 's line of work , i also knew that could mean big trouble . carly : so that 's why you tried so hard to talk me out of searching for him ? bobbie : mm - hmm . but then you stole my diary , you found his initials . there was no stopping you . carly : did you always know that john durant was my father ? bobbie : i suspected . carly : so all those years that you told me that he was some anonymous trick , it was just -- it was a lie ? bobbie : he was , carly . you need to be clear on that . i met john durant as a customer . carly : well , your diary seemed to make it sound like a lot more , mom . bobbie : i was lonely . i was trapped in a life i hated . and john was young , he was handsome , and i wanted to believe he was interested in more than sex for money . i really wanted to believe that he could actually care about me . i mean , even then it was very obvious to me that john was headed for bigger and better things , and that i was n't going to be able to follow in his footsteps . but even so , i decided to take the risk . i put my heart on the line . carly : why ? bobbie : because john did n't return my feelings . he was in love with someone else -- susy brandes . i actually went to high school with her . she was rich and privileged and a little sheltered . and when i found out john was in love with her , i got jealous and i acted without thinking -- something i 'm always telling you not to do . carly : what did you do ? bobbie : i told susy that john and i were sleeping together and she broke up with him . i actually think she broke his heart . and when john came to see me , he was angry , devastated . we had a horrible fight and he told me that i meant nothing to him and that he never wanted to see me again . carly : mom , i 'm sorry . bobbie : a couple of weeks later i realized i was pregnant . i knew john was the father -- at least i really wanted him to be . but by the time i got up the courage to tell him , he and his family had moved away , because his father was an air force captain and they never stayed in one place for very long . and then it was years before i found john again . carly : how did you ? bobbie : luke helped me , reluctantly . he said john durant had treated me like dirt , and i should just forget the whole thing . but then when i told luke that it was really important , he came through for me like he always does . but by the time we tracked john down , he -- he was out of school ; he was working in law enforcement . you were in florida with your adoptive family , and the whole thing did n't seem like it was such great , urgent news anymore . carly : so you went to all that trouble to track him down , and you just let it go ? bobbie : i did keep up with his career . he came up through the ranks like a house on fire . but it was very clear to me there was n't any room in his life for a teenage hooker that he 'd knocked up one summer , or the daughter that he did n't know he fathered . he made federal prosecutor , you came to port charles , you got involved with sonny . the whole thing seemed to me like it was a lot more trouble than any of us needed . oh , honey . if i made the wrong decision , i 'm really sorry . carly : i get it . i get it . you were trying to protect me and my family . that 's why i -- i left john in new york and i did n't tell him who i was . i wanted to go before he could figure it out , but he did anyway . can you imagine what it 's like for him to find out that he has a grown daughter and she 's married to a mobster ? bobbie : carly , i 'm more interested in you . now that the truth is out , and the father you so desperately wanted is here wanting to know you , do you want to keep on walking ? [ scene_break ] jason : what 's wrong with him ? sonny : i do n't know . he 's burning up . what happened , mikey ? michael : i heard him when i went to get a glass of water . he was breathing funny . jason : we got to get him to the emergency room right now . sonny : all right . [ scene_break ] nikolas : so , according to the caterer , helena hired them . emily : it 'd be nice if she 'd bothered to tell us . nikolas : yeah , well , she knew we would n't participate in any farce of a party thrown by her and tracy . elizabeth : oh , hey , you guys . i 'm really worried about lucky . nikolas : why ? emily : what 's wrong ? elizabeth : he just took off with that look in his eye . if he -- if he tries to accuse helena and tracy of framing you , and they realize he means to expose them , there 's no telling what those witches will do . [ scene_break ] ned : hey . monica : hi ! you know , it 's kind of traditional to tell the parents when you 're going to have an engagement party . your father is n't even back from a conference in baltimore . emily : listen , you probably found out about this before nikolas and i did . ned : now , how would that work ? emily : well , evidently , helena and tracy have entered into some unholy alliance and -- [ scene_break ] nikolas : uh -- what the hell is she thinking ? what -- alexis : that 's an interesting choice of dress for a party . nikolas : oh , you think ? yeah , ric 's an interesting choice for a date . did you forget that he 's prosecuting emily and me ? so , out of respect for my aunt , i wo n't ask you to leave , but stay away from emily and me . ric : that was pleasant . alexis : he is understandably upset . ric : well , i told you that he was n't going to be pleased with my presence here , but you would n't take no for an answer . so , why is that , alexis ? why did you really bring me here ? [ scene_break ] ned : helena and my mother -- now , that 's a scary pairing . emily : yeah , tell me about it . you know , this party , ned -- nikolas and i had nothing to do with it . we did n't even know about it until people started showing up . the new best friends , helena and tracy , put this together without our knowledge or consent . and you know what ? consent matters . i 'm going to put an end to this charade right now . excuse me . nikolas : no -- no , you 're not . [ scene_break ] donna : oh ! lucky : that package looks heavy . you sure you got enough postage ? donna : positive . lucky : you know it 's not smart to send large sums of cash through the mail . i mean , what if somebody stole it ? donna : oh , that is n't money . i 'm sending my sister some pictures . lucky : and i 'm guessing the only pictures that are in this package are probably pictures of dead presidents on cash that you received to make sure that emily takes the rap for mary bishop 's murder . donna : no , i -- lucky : do n't try to deny it . please , just tell me who paid you . [ scene_break ] helena : you seem to be under the impression that you know me very well , and that is a mistake . however , i will indulge your curiosity . you 're right . i have absolutely no use for mary bishop . she was a loathsome little creature , high - strung and useless . well , she was even more unsuitable for nikolas than emily . you 're right , i could 've had her killed many times , but -- well , i thought about it , but i did n't do it . can you say the same ? tracy : one , i did n't know her . two , i do n't care who nikolas sleeps with . ergo , no motive . helena : well , as you so astutely pointed out , someone did , and that someone is not likely to come forward with it to save emily . so i think we congratulate ourselves for a job well done and get about the business of this evening . we have a party to host . [ thunder ] [ scene_break ] carly : of course i 'm curious about my father , mama . i always have been . but i can not live in a little girl dream world anymore . i mean , this is reality , and i 'm with my husband , and john durant is an enemy of sonny 's . bobbie : did sonny ask you to stay away from john ? carly : look , in his heart , i know that he wishes that i would . but he told me it 's my decision to make and he 's not going to get in the way . bobbie : so you are choosing not to know your father ? carly : i 'm protecting my family . bobbie : ok , carly . i think you 're doing yourself a big disservice . carly : well , mama , you -- you want me to have a relationship with john durant ? bobbie : well , i do n't know about a relationship , but i think you should talk to him . give him a chance to get to know the family he never even knew he had . and listen to things he wants to tell you about himself and about his life . honey , when you started this search , you said you wanted to know who you were and where you came from . well , this is your chance , and it may be the only one you ever have . so do n't be too quick to reject it . [ phone rings ] carly : hello ? yeah , hey , jase . ok , i 'm -- i 'm on my way . ok . bye . bobbie : what 's going on ? carly : it 's morgan . come on . [ scene_break ] dr. o'donnell : what happened ? sonny : he got a fever . i do n't know , i think it just came on . jason : he 's having trouble breathing . carly : hey . hey , hey , hey , how 's he doing ? what 's going on ? oh , he 's burning up . dr. o'donnell : take morgan into a peds room . carly : i 'll do it , i 'll do it . come here , come here . come here , baby . come on , come on . sonny : what do you think is wrong with my son ? dr. o'donnell : well , we wo n't know until we run some tests . i need to stabilize him , maybe take -- carly : dr. o'donnell , morgan 's convulsing ! jason : michael . michael : i 'm scared . jason : it 's ok . [ scene_break ] donna : look , i 'm sorry , officer spencer , but i must 've been out of town the day that the port charles police department decided that it was a crime for one family member to take care of another . lucky : you know , most people , they would 've sent a check , a wire bank transfer , but you -- you know , you just could n't afford that kind of paper trail . i 'm sorry , ms. harris , but i 'm going to have to take you into the pcpd for questioning , which now the only thing left for you to do is just try to make it easy for yourself . donna : wait . what 's going to happen to me ? lucky : well , you 'll probably be arrested for obstruction of justice -- that 's for starters . you could be named co - conspirator in the death of mary bishop . donna : wait , but i had nothing to do with that . lucky : hmm . wo n't matter to helena and tracy . they 'll just turn this frame around on you so fast you wo n't even know what hit you . which means you 'll probably spend the rest of your life in prison . or you could just try to work with me . [ scene_break ] [ knock on door ] jax : courtney ? come on , i know you 're in there . do n't even try it . courtney : you 're right , jax , i 'm in here , and you 're not . and it 's going to stay that way , so you might as well go home ! jax : oh , no , i do n't think so . see , i 'm all set up out here to wait you out . i 've even got a nice dinner , thanks to your dad -- who wishes you luck , by the way . not that that 's going to help much , because you are going to lose this bet . courtney : you are delusional , jax . you are . the bet is over ! i 've already won ! jax : no , no , no , i 've got until -- i 've got until midnight . that gives me plenty of time . [ scene_break ] emily : listen , i do n't understand . why would you be going along with this ridiculous party ? nikolas : to lull my grandmother and tracy into a false sense of security , make them think that , you know , their plan is working . i mean , if lucky is on to something , then we can give him time to follow - up without them trying to head him off . emily : but do n't you think it 's going to raise a red flag when helena and tracy realize that lucky 's not here ? nikolas : yes , yeah . in the meantime , we 'll just -- we 'll go along with the party , and we 'll just keep an eye on helena and tracy , ok ? emily : ok . maybe we should add insult to injury and actually enjoy it . [ scene_break ] alexis : excuse me . hi . i just wanted you to know that i 'm not as insensitive as it may appear for my choice of dates . there 's a reason that i brought him , there 's a plan , and you need to trust me . ric : you seem a little cold . elizabeth : well , what were you expecting ? ric : i 'm not sure . i know you overheard me speaking to alexis at the cellar . elizabeth : the part about our marriage being over ? yeah , i heard it . ric : elizabeth , i -- elizabeth : ric , really , there 's no need to explain . you 're right . our marriage is over and so are we . but since you brought it up , i just have to ask -- would you be pursuing a future with alexis if she did n't have a past with sonny ? nikolas : may i have your attention , please ? i would like to propose a toast to emily , my future wife . all : hear , hear ! nikolas : oh -- and to our gracious hostesses , tracy quartermaine and helena cassadine . yes , we thank you both for this -- well , this wonderful surprise . and -- but most of all , for your good wishes . may they return to you two - fold . emily : i 'll drink to that . [ scene_break ] dr. o'donnell : it appears to be an acute infection of some kind . sonny : what kind ? dr. o'donnell : i 'm sorry i ca n't be more specific , but it 's like nothing i 've ever seen before . sonny : is morgan still convulsing ? dr. o'donnell : no , they 've stopped , but there 's no guarantee they wo n't reoccur . his fever is coming down , but he has an atypical rash that 's spreading . carly : well , can you give him something ? dr. o'donnell : well , we 're giving him antibiotics right now in his i.v . , but we can expect his blood and spinal cultures back soon . carly : well , is there anything else you can do ? dr. o'donnell : fortunately , the hospital just hired a specialist with expertise in this area . steven : i just got your page . where is the little boy ? [ scene_break ] bobbie : and if anyone needs me , i 'll be in e.r . with my grandson . thank you . john : barbara . bobbie : john . john : i apologize for interrupting you here at work , but i -- i could n't sleep . i -- i was wondering if you and carly had a chance to talk about me yet . [ scene_break ] steven : well , it sounds like a rare strain of gram - positive bacteria . you probably started morgan on an antibiotic that it 's not sensitive to . carly : oh , my god . so , what are you going to do ? steven : do n't worry , the medication wo n't hurt morgan . unfortunately , it ca n't help him , either . i 'll need the initial l.p. results along with the blood and spinal cultures . i need you to tell me about morgan 's day . carly : um -- sonny : he was -- he was with michael and his nanny most of the time at home . then they went to the park . steven : is the nanny here ? carly : no , she 's back at home . steven : ok , i 'll need to speak with her . carly : why ? why ? what do you think she 's going to tell you ? steven : well , children morgan 's age explore the world with their mouths . they pick up an object , in it goes , and if she saw him get into something , it could help me narrow the field of options . michael : i think morgan 's sick because of me .

[ scene_break ] john : i 'm not leaving port charles until sonny corinthos is behind bars . steven : how do you plan to accomplish that ? you 've lost the element of surprise . carly knows you 're her father , both she and sonny suspect your motives . where are you going to find your leverage ? john : come on , doc . you know me by now . never underestimate me . there are many , many inroads to carly and sonny . it 's all about picking just the right one . [ scene_break ] bobbie : i knew that john had become a federal prosecutor . and considering sonny 's line of work , i also knew that could mean big trouble . carly : so that 's why you tried so hard to talk me out of searching for him ? bobbie : mm - hmm . but then you stole my diary , you found his initials . there was no stopping you . carly : did you always know that john durant was my father ? bobbie : i suspected . carly : so all those years that you told me that he was some anonymous trick , it was just -- it was a lie ? bobbie : he was , carly . you need to be clear on that . i met john durant as a customer . carly : well , your diary seemed to make it sound like a lot more , mom . bobbie : i was lonely . i was trapped in a life i hated . and john was young , he was handsome , and i wanted to believe he was interested in more than sex for money . i really wanted to believe that he could actually care about me . i mean , even then it was very obvious to me that john was headed for bigger and better things , and that i was n't going to be able to follow in his footsteps . but even so , i decided to take the risk . i put my heart on the line . carly : why ? bobbie : because john did n't return my feelings . he was in love with someone else -- susy brandes . i actually went to high school with her . she was rich and privileged and a little sheltered . and when i found out john was in love with her , i got jealous and i acted without thinking -- something i 'm always telling you not to do . carly : what did you do ? bobbie : i told susy that john and i were sleeping together and she broke up with him . i actually think she broke his heart . and when john came to see me , he was angry , devastated . we had a horrible fight and he told me that i meant nothing to him and that he never wanted to see me again . carly : mom , i 'm sorry . bobbie : a couple of weeks later i realized i was pregnant . i knew john was the father -- at least i really wanted him to be . but by the time i got up the courage to tell him , he and his family had moved away , because his father was an air force captain and they never stayed in one place for very long . and then it was years before i found john again . carly : how did you ? bobbie : luke helped me , reluctantly . he said john durant had treated me like dirt , and i should just forget the whole thing . but then when i told luke that it was really important , he came through for me like he always does . but by the time we tracked john down , he -- he was out of school ; he was working in law enforcement . you were in florida with your adoptive family , and the whole thing did n't seem like it was such great , urgent news anymore . carly : so you went to all that trouble to track him down , and you just let it go ? bobbie : i did keep up with his career . he came up through the ranks like a house on fire . but it was very clear to me there was n't any room in his life for a teenage hooker that he 'd knocked up one summer , or the daughter that he did n't know he fathered . he made federal prosecutor , you came to port charles , you got involved with sonny . the whole thing seemed to me like it was a lot more trouble than any of us needed . oh , honey . if i made the wrong decision , i 'm really sorry . carly : i get it . i get it . you were trying to protect me and my family . that 's why i -- i left john in new york and i did n't tell him who i was . i wanted to go before he could figure it out , but he did anyway . can you imagine what it 's like for him to find out that he has a grown daughter and she 's married to a mobster ? bobbie : carly , i 'm more interested in you . now that the truth is out , and the father you so desperately wanted is here wanting to know you , do you want to keep on walking ? [ scene_break ] jason : what 's wrong with him ? sonny : i do n't know . he 's burning up . what happened , mikey ? michael : i heard him when i went to get a glass of water . he was breathing funny . jason : we got to get him to the emergency room right now . sonny : all right . [ scene_break ] nikolas : so , according to the caterer , helena hired them . emily : it 'd be nice if she 'd bothered to tell us . nikolas : yeah , well , she knew we would n't participate in any farce of a party thrown by her and tracy . elizabeth : oh , hey , you guys . i 'm really worried about lucky . nikolas : why ? emily : what 's wrong ? elizabeth : he just took off with that look in his eye . if he -- if he tries to accuse helena and tracy of framing you , and they realize he means to expose them , there 's no telling what those witches will do . [ scene_break ] ned : hey . monica : hi ! you know , it 's kind of traditional to tell the parents when you 're going to have an engagement party . your father is n't even back from a conference in baltimore . emily : listen , you probably found out about this before nikolas and i did . ned : now , how would that work ? emily : well , evidently , helena and tracy have entered into some unholy alliance and -- [ scene_break ] nikolas : uh -- what the hell is she thinking ? what -- alexis : that 's an interesting choice of dress for a party . nikolas : oh , you think ? yeah , ric 's an interesting choice for a date . did you forget that he 's prosecuting emily and me ? so , out of respect for my aunt , i wo n't ask you to leave , but stay away from emily and me . ric : that was pleasant . alexis : he is understandably upset . ric : well , i told you that he was n't going to be pleased with my presence here , but you would n't take no for an answer . so , why is that , alexis ? why did you really bring me here ? [ scene_break ] ned : helena and my mother -- now , that 's a scary pairing . emily : yeah , tell me about it . you know , this party , ned -- nikolas and i had nothing to do with it . we did n't even know about it until people started showing up . the new best friends , helena and tracy , put this together without our knowledge or consent . and you know what ? consent matters . i 'm going to put an end to this charade right now . excuse me . nikolas : no -- no , you 're not . [ scene_break ] donna : oh ! lucky : that package looks heavy . you sure you got enough postage ? donna : positive . lucky : you know it 's not smart to send large sums of cash through the mail . i mean , what if somebody stole it ? donna : oh , that is n't money . i 'm sending my sister some pictures . lucky : and i 'm guessing the only pictures that are in this package are probably pictures of dead presidents on cash that you received to make sure that emily takes the rap for mary bishop 's murder . donna : no , i -- lucky : do n't try to deny it . please , just tell me who paid you . [ scene_break ] helena : you seem to be under the impression that you know me very well , and that is a mistake . however , i will indulge your curiosity . you 're right . i have absolutely no use for mary bishop . she was a loathsome little creature , high - strung and useless . well , she was even more unsuitable for nikolas than emily . you 're right , i could 've had her killed many times , but -- well , i thought about it , but i did n't do it . can you say the same ? tracy : one , i did n't know her . two , i do n't care who nikolas sleeps with . ergo , no motive . helena : well , as you so astutely pointed out , someone did , and that someone is not likely to come forward with it to save emily . so i think we congratulate ourselves for a job well done and get about the business of this evening . we have a party to host . [ thunder ] [ scene_break ] carly : of course i 'm curious about my father , mama . i always have been . but i can not live in a little girl dream world anymore . i mean , this is reality , and i 'm with my husband , and john durant is an enemy of sonny 's . bobbie : did sonny ask you to stay away from john ? carly : look , in his heart , i know that he wishes that i would . but he told me it 's my decision to make and he 's not going to get in the way . bobbie : so you are choosing not to know your father ? carly : i 'm protecting my family . bobbie : ok , carly . i think you 're doing yourself a big disservice . carly : well , mama , you -- you want me to have a relationship with john durant ? bobbie : well , i do n't know about a relationship , but i think you should talk to him . give him a chance to get to know the family he never even knew he had . and listen to things he wants to tell you about himself and about his life . honey , when you started this search , you said you wanted to know who you were and where you came from . well , this is your chance , and it may be the only one you ever have . so do n't be too quick to reject it .

[ scene_break ] emily : listen , i do n't understand . why would you be going along with this ridiculous party ? nikolas : to lull my grandmother and tracy into a false sense of security , make them think that , you know , their plan is working . i mean , if lucky is on to something , then we can give him time to follow - up without them trying to head him off . emily : but do n't you think it 's going to raise a red flag when helena and tracy realize that lucky 's not here ? nikolas : yes , yeah . in the meantime , we 'll just -- we 'll go along with the party , and we 'll just keep an eye on helena and tracy , ok ? emily : ok . maybe we should add insult to injury and actually enjoy it .

[ scene_break ] [ telephone ringing ] [ indistinct conversations ] jordan : thank you both for coming in . jason : yeah . jordan : let 's get started . jason : no , i 'm gon na wait for my lawyer , thanks . jordan : this is just an informal questioning . you insisting that you have your lawyer present only implies that you 're guilty . diane : actually , forgoing one 's right to legal counsel implies that one is either very naive or an idiot . i can assure you , my client is neither . jason : thanks for coming . diane : my pleasure . so , are we gon na be doing this in the squad room or in interrogation ? jordan : interrogation . diane : after you . jordan : oh , no , please . after you and your clients . i insist . jordan : so , as soon as everyone finds their seats , uh , you can instruct your client to explain to me how he wound up in nikolas cassadine 's bedroom last night at the same time that mr. cassadine apparently crashed through a window and fell 60 feet to the rocks below . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : when the launch arrived at the dock , the police tried to turn us away . i had to tell them that spencer lives here and i - i was just bringing him home from a sleepover . spencer : and then they got really serious and told us to come up here . laura : sit down , honey . spencer , something happened last night . we found a broken window in your dad 's bedroom -- [ sighs ] and now w - we -- we ca n't find your dad . spencer : i hope you 're not suggesting my father jumped out the window , because he would never do that . hayden : nobody thinks he jumped . spencer : so he was pushed . laura : y - you know , he could have fallen . we -- we just do n't know . we ca n't be certain , and that 's why the police are here . they 're just trying to help us figure out what happened . spencer : but if the police are investigating , they must suspect foul play . hayden : they 're not ruling anything out . spencer : but they do think he fell into the harbor . that 's why the coast guard is here , is n't it ? hayden : we think he landed on the rocks . someone else was here and saw him there . laura : but , honey , that same person who saw him went right downstairs to try to help him , and he was n't there anymore . elizabeth : who exactly was this person ? laura : it was jason . [ scene_break ] diane : before we proceed any further , here is my notarized affidavit detailing a conversation that i had with my client , jason morgan , last night outside the main ballroom of the metro court hotel . mr. morgan 's ex - wife , samantha mccall , was also present . at that time , i notified mr. morgan that nikolas cassadine was bringing suit against him alleging that mr. morgan 's recent purchase of controlling interest of elq had been funded with ... money gleaned from organized crime . jordan : i see . diane : at that time , i also let him know that the irs had put a hold on all of the company 's assets until the matter could be resolved . jordan : and what was mr. morgan 's reaction to learn that he was being sued and scrutinized by the irs ? diane : it 's all there in paragraph 3 . jordan : `` mr. morgan accepted the information calmly and without upset . `` did you see him again at some point later on in the evening ? diane : no . as is outlined in paragraph 4 , i then returned home from the hotel to my significant other . but now that we have established that mr. morgan did in fact know that mr. cassadine was bringing suit against him , we can proceed with the interview . jordan : oh , is it -- is it my turn to talk now ? diane : [ laughs ] only if you 've got something relevant to say . otherwise , my clients and i will be on our way . jordan : not until he accounts for his activities last night . mr. morgan . what were you doing at wyndemere at the same time that mr. cassadine appeared to have fallen to his death ?

rey : it 's your call . amanda : what is it ? ripley : i knew i risked being arrested coming here , but it was worth it just to see you again . i regret that you did n't think i was sincere with my apology or that i really just wanted to be your friend . amanda : you 're a sociopath , ripley . you will do or say whatever it is you think the other person wants to hear . you do n't scare me anymore . whatever control you thought you had over me is gone . so go . live your life . do whatever it is that you want to do , as long as it does n't involve coming anywhere near me . we 're done here . ripley : [ sighs ] amanda : [ exhales heavily ] billy : what does amanda have to do with me seeing my kids ? victoria : if they see you with another woman right away , it 's gon na upset them and confuse them . billy : okay , first of all , i think it 's insulting that you would think i would do anything to hurt my children . victoria : not intentionally , billy , but there 's an awful lot of you coming first going around lately . billy : not when it comes to johnny and katie , victoria . victoria : well , i 'm just expressing my concern . billy : concern about an affair that never happened . victoria : so you keep saying . billy : okay , we talked , alright ?

because you keep bringing it up . victoria : would you keep your voice down ? the kids are just in the kitchen . billy : right . that 's exactly what you wanted , right ? you drop a bomb like that , i react , and i become crazy billy , like i ca n't contain myself . victoria : well , the shoe seems to fit , does n't it ? billy : let me ask you something . where did you hear about this supposed affair that i had with amanda ? victoria : it does n't matter . billy : your father , was n't it , who has done so many shady , underhanded things to interfere with our relationship . victoria : no , billy . it was n't him this time . you 're the one that said i was holding you back from being your authentic self . that was on you . billy : so he fabricates a story to make it look like i 'm having an affair ? victoria : i do not have to explain myself to you . billy : okay , i 'm gon na take that as a `` yes , `` right ? and as usual with you , daddy knows best . daddy 's always right . you know his m.o . you know that you ca n't trust everything he says . victoria : we were broken up . so , if your world view is correct , then my father had already gotten what he wanted . what motivation would he have to lie , billy ? billy : an insurance policy just in case we ever got back together ? victoria : trust me -- there was no danger of that . billy : oh come on . look at our track record . it 's not like he would n't think it 's a possibility , except now you think i had an affair , which means you 're not gon na trust me or give me the benefit of the doubt . victoria : so , all of your lying and your betrayals -- that 's all my father 's fault ? billy : oh , he 's loving this , is n't he ? victoria : no , billy , he 's not . my father does n't want to see someone that he loves in pain . billy : [ scoffs ] victoria : imagine that . billy : imagine that . yeah . victor 's perfect . yeah , they broke the mold with him , did n't they ? victoria : you know , i 'm sick of you making this about him . billy : it 's always about him with you , every single time . it 's like we 're in a -- we 're in a relationship with another person . and like every other time , you choose him over me . victoria : well , maybe if you were half the man he is , i would n't have to . billy : well , that about says it , does n't it . victoria : billy -- billy : okay , listen . you do n't get to choose when or where i see my kids or how i spend my time or with who . nick : so , thank you for the heads - up about summer . phyllis : sure . you gon na talk to her ? nick : oh , i 'm gon na talk to her . phyllis : keep an open mind ? nick : i 'm gon na do some listening . will that work ? phyllis : good . that 's good . nick : i make no promises about me being able to keep my opinions to myself . you know i have many reservations about kyle abbott . phyllis : as do i . but we 'll be on the same page , right ? nick : same page . chance : hello there . abby : hi . i was just thinking about our date . funny . i 've been thinking about the exact same thing . in fact , it 's been running through my head in one long , endless , sexy loop . abby : mmm . so many highlights . chance : i could n't even begin to count all them all . abby : i think that we could top it if we put our minds to it . chance : just our mind ?

[ kids laughing ] come here . we 're always gon na be a family , okay ? that 's never gon na change , no matter what . chance : i thought you were in paris . adam : well , we came back early . chance : and i 'm your first stop . i guess i should be flattered . adam : we have a problem . the situation in vegas has taken an unexpected turn , and i need to do something about it . cologuard : ripley : everything you said about me is right . i just wanted you to know that i am not that same man anymore . amanda : i do n't care who you are . i do n't care who 've you become . it is irrelevant to me . do you get that ? you are relevant to me . ripley : i was hoping that you could find a way to forgive me , hoping that we could find some peace and closure . we were once really close to each other , were n't we ? amanda : yeah , we were , and you destroyed that , ripley . but , see , i 've moved on . and you should , too . ripley : yeah . i see that you 've built a whole new life for yourself here . amanda : yeah . ripley : new law practice , perhaps even a new relationship . amanda : why would you presume that ? ripley : the man who showed up at your hotel . is he someone that 's important to you ? is that who you were referring to when you said that you moved on ? amanda : my life here is none of your business . ripley : you 're right . i apologize if i overstepped my bounds . i wish nothing but the best for you , amanda . rey : everything alright ?

victoria : no , billy , i am -- i am just saying that over the years , we have both made choices that have impacted the kids . billy : yeah . believe me , i wish that we could end this without affecting them . victoria : well , it 's very unfortunate that your actions have all of these consequences . billy : so you are blaming me . victoria : i think it 's really a waste of time to keep score . i 'd just like to move on with my life the same way that you 've started moving on with yours . billy : good . let 's talk logistics . victoria : logistics ? billy : yeah , you know , visitation , picking them up from school on what days , vacation , everything , but i will say this -- i 'm not gon na go a couple days without seeing my kids like i just did , okay ? your father is not running the show . victoria : well , that 's fine . then i suggest we continue co - parenting as we have . billy : okay with me . victoria : i have one condition , though . i want you to keep the kids away from amanda . chance : she went to the cops ? adam : that 's what riza told me . chance : so you 're just gon na fly to vegas solo and track her down ? adam : mm - hmm . that is the plan . chance : no . no , that 's a bad idea . adam : it 's my doing . it 's my problem . chance : no , you did this for me , so this is our problem . i do n't need you running around vegas without backup . adam : listen . i can handle myself . chance : most of the time . adam : what does that mean -- `` most of the time `` ? chance : in case you forgot , adam , that little episode with your father -- that did n't turn out so well . adam : chance , you are not going to change my mind about this . i have got this . chance : you 're going to vegas , and i 'm going to tag along , just in case . listen moms , hot pockets are `` the young and the restless `` will continue . amanda : thank you , rey . ripley : can i say one more thing ? rey : it 's your call . amanda : what is it ? ripley : i knew i risked being arrested coming here , but it was worth it just to see you again . i regret that you did n't think i was sincere with my apology or that i really just wanted to be your friend . amanda : you 're a sociopath , ripley . you will do or say whatever it is you think the other person wants to hear . you do n't scare me anymore . whatever control you thought you had over me is gone . so go . live your life . do whatever it is that you want to do , as long as it does n't involve coming anywhere near me . we 're done here . ripley : [ sighs ] amanda : [ exhales heavily ] billy : what does amanda have to do with me seeing my kids ? victoria : if they see you with another woman right away , it 's gon na upset them and confuse them . billy : okay , first of all , i think it 's insulting that you would think i would do anything to hurt my children . victoria : not intentionally , billy , but there 's an awful lot of you coming first going around lately . billy : not when it comes to johnny and katie , victoria . victoria : well , i 'm just expressing my concern . billy : concern about an affair that never happened . victoria : so you keep saying . billy : okay , we talked , alright ? she did n't judge me , which a hell of a lot more than i can say about you . victoria : you know , i 'm really sick and tired of having an argument over your so - called friend -- amanda . billy : are you sure ? because you keep bringing it up . victoria : would you keep your voice down ? the kids are just in the kitchen . billy : right . that 's exactly what you wanted , right ? you drop a bomb like that , i react , and i become crazy billy , like i ca n't contain myself . victoria : well , the shoe seems to fit , does n't it ? billy : let me ask you something . where did you hear about this supposed affair that i had with amanda ? victoria : it does n't matter . billy : your father , was n't it , who has done so many shady , underhanded things to interfere with our relationship . victoria : no , billy . it was n't him this time . you 're the one that said i was holding you back from being your authentic self . that was on you . billy : so he fabricates a story to make it look like i 'm having an affair ? victoria : i do not have to explain myself to you . billy : okay , i 'm gon na take that as a `` yes , `` right ? and as usual with you , daddy knows best . daddy 's always right . you know his m.o . you know that you ca n't trust everything he says . victoria : we were broken up . so , if your world view is correct , then my father had already gotten what he wanted . what motivation would he have to lie , billy ? billy : an insurance policy just in case we ever got back together ? victoria : trust me -- there was no danger of that . billy : oh come on . look at our track record . it 's not like he would n't think it 's a possibility , except now you think i had an affair , which means you 're not gon na trust me or give me the benefit of the doubt . victoria : so , all of your lying and your betrayals -- that 's all my father 's fault ? billy : oh , he 's loving this , is n't he ? victoria : no , billy , he 's not . my father does n't want to see someone that he loves in pain . billy : [ scoffs ] victoria : imagine that . billy : imagine that . yeah . victor 's perfect . yeah , they broke the mold with him , did n't they ? victoria : you know , i 'm sick of you making this about him . billy : it 's always about him with you , every single time . it 's like we 're in a -- we 're in a relationship with another person . and like every other time , you choose him over me . victoria : well , maybe if you were half the man he is , i would n't have to . billy : well , that about says it , does n't it . victoria : billy -- billy : okay , listen . you do n't get to choose when or where i see my kids or how i spend my time or with who . nick : so , thank you for the heads - up about summer . phyllis : sure . you gon na talk to her ? nick : oh , i 'm gon na talk to her . phyllis : keep an open mind ? nick : i 'm gon na do some listening . will that work ? phyllis : good . that 's good . nick : i make no promises about me being able to keep my opinions to myself . you know i have many reservations about kyle abbott . phyllis : as do i . but we 'll be on the same page , right ? nick : same page . chance : hello there . abby : hi . i was just thinking about our date . funny . i 've been thinking about the exact same thing . in fact , it 's been running through my head in one long , endless , sexy loop . abby : mmm . so many highlights . chance : i could n't even begin to count all them all . abby : i think that we could top it if we put our minds to it . chance : just our mind ? abby : what night 's good for you ? [ footsteps approaching ] chance : i think i might have to get back to you on that one . abby : oh ? chance : i have to fly to vegas . i 've got some unfinished business i have to wrap up . abby : i am assuming that `` unfinished business `` means top - secret ? chance : if i told you , i 'd have to kidnap you . abby : mmm . i could live with that . chance : yeah ? i 'm just tying a few loose ends . i 'll be back before you know it . abby : well , what should we do when you get back ? chance : there 's always the old reliable dinner for two , candlelit dinner overlooking the lake . abby : mmm . i like the sound of that . chance : yeah ? i knew this was meant to be . abby : so , when does your plane leave ? chance : couple of hours . abby : that does n't give us much time . we better make the most of it . chance : yeah ? abby : mm - hmm . chance : are we going where i think we 're going ? abby : we are . why are we still discussing this ? chance : i have no idea . abby : yeah . uh - huh .

[ door closes ] nick : so how was faith when you talked to her ? sharon : she 's coping with things . nick : i hope you 're feeling better about my decision . sharon : taking her out of her grandparents ' place and having her move back home without even a discussion ? nick : sharon , it was time . sharon : she asks about them . especially victor . she 's hoping he 'll be okay with her leaving . nick : trust me , dad is gon na survive . i mean , he just left town . it 's not like he 's gon na be around anyway . sharon : faith mentioned to me that she walked into the stable and saw victor on the ground , and you had knocked him down . nick : yeah , uh , we were sparring . things just got a little out of hand . sharon : hmm , well , it scared faith . nick : we both talked to her , reassured her that everything was fine . sharon : mm , she brought it up to me , so i guess she was more upset than either of you realized . nick : well , i 'll talk to her again . i mean , there 's no reason for her to be concerned . sharon : all the times you 've thought about taking a swing at him ... is there maybe something more to this boxing thing than you 're mentioning ? nick : like what ? sharon : i 'm just wondering if maybe something happened between you and victor , and that 's why you did n't want her living there anymore . nick : dad had nothing to do with my decision , all right ? i just realized the longer we waited to bring faith home , the harder it was gon na be . sharon , she is our daughter , and she belongs with us . do n't you agree with that ? sharon : i 'm thrilled to have her back home . in fact , i 'm planning something special for our first night together . nick : good . she 'll love that . it 'll mean a lot to her . sharon : you taking off ? nick : yeah , i got to go . uh , i 'll talk to you tomorrow ? sharon : all right . see you then . oh ! hello . scott : hey . sorry to cut the evening short . sharon : nikki called you pretty late , so it must have been important . scott : it was a little bizarre , if you want to know the truth . she actually basically ordered me not to write victor 's biography . sharon : wow , that is out of left field . scott : i 'll say . sharon : any reasons ? scott : she 's worried that a tell - all book might hurt the family , but i have a feeling that there 's a little more than that . sharon : well , i could see why . nikki coming to you behind victor 's back while he 's away to scuttle his project ... scott : you know about the trip ? sharon : nick just now mentioned it to me . have you tried to contact victor ? scott : got a recording that his voicemail 's not accepting calls , and , uh , it 's not that nikki was very forthcoming . she did n't tell me where he was or when he 'd be back . just that he did n't want to be reached . seems a little bit sketchy to me . sharon : well , victor 's done that before when there 's been a crisis . and finding out that chloe murdered his son ? i 'd say that qualifies . scott : well , i mean , you know the family . do you think there 's more going on ? chelsea : hey . i came as soon as i got your message . paul : well , i wanted to give you an update on the search for chloe . chelsea : do you have any leads ? i want that woman brought back here . now . phyllis : thanks for stopping by , i ca n't help you right now . i 've got company . maybe tomorrow , okay ? [ laughs ] mrs. elliott . she lives downstairs . i always have to help her with her computer . jack : well , i guess since you decided not to team up with me , i 'll , uh -- i 'll leave you to it . phyllis : yeah . good luck with victor . i 'll be rooting for ya . just taking my life in another direction . hope you understand . jack : if you change your mind ... phyllis : i wo n't . jack : i 'll see you at the office . phyllis : okay . bye . billy : that was close . phyllis : that was very close . that would not have ended very well for any of us . billy : what the hell was jack doing here anyway ? phyllis : well , he ended up on my doorstep . he wanted me to join him on his campaign to annihilate victor . billy : really ? phyllis : yeah . billy : what did you say ? phyllis : i said `` go for it . `` you know , as much as i 'd love to see victor brought to his knees , i told him that i 'm gon na sit this one out . billy : well , revenge is sweet but time - consuming . phyllis : yeah . billy : you have better things to do with your time . phyllis : yeah , i thought it was good that he came to me . gives me hope . i mean , our conversations were downright civil . billy : well , that 's -- that 's good for you . phyllis : okay . enough about jack . so , i texted you to call me . i did n't think you 'd stop by . not that i 'm complaining . billy : i could n't just call you . i needed to see you . nick : what 's up , man ? uh , hey , chelsea . it 's me . feels like it 's been forever . i miss you . so call me . paul : we have been in touch with police departments all over the country , the feds ... so far , there 's no trace . chelsea : nothing ? how can that be ? staying out of sight takes money . chloe tore out of that house with the clothes on her back , literally . a one - of - a- kind custom wedding gown . so if you want to find her , go look for a crazy woman walking around in a wedding dress ! paul : chelsea , chelsea , i know you 're frustrated and angry , but we 're doing everything we can to find her . chloe is in hiding . she is completely off the grid . she is not using any of her credit cards . she has not made a withdrawal from any bank account . chelsea : what about her cell phone ? paul : she 's made no calls . there is no signal . chelsea : so she just vanished ? how , paul ? it 's not like she had time to even prepare for this . she ran away from her own wedding ! paul : look , if chloe thought there was a chance that she would be exposed , i 'm sure she prepared for that contingency . chelsea : what about her old mental hospital ? maybe she 's having a nervous breakdown . maybe she called one of her doctors there . paul : right . you know , that was one of the first calls we made , and if she goes there looking for sanctuary , the chief of staff will contact us immediately . chelsea : you closed the case on adam 's death too soon . paul : look , i want to assure you . we will find her . whatever it takes . we are not giving up . there is no statute of limitations on murder . chelsea : i appreciate your effort , i really do , but it 's cold comfort . i ca n't wait months or years for chloe to pay for what she did to my husband . sharon : i wish i could help , but i have no clue what 's going on . i mean , with victor , anything 's possible . scott : yeah . i hear that a lot . sharon : you know , i 'm sure he 'll be back soon , and he will answer all of your questions . so , in the meantime , i do n't think you should worry about him . scott : yeah , you 're probably right . this is what i 'm like . i just -- i ca n't let this book consume me , you know ? well , since we did n't get to finish dinner tonight , maybe we could have a little dessert ? hmm ? sharon : mm , let 's see . hmm . i happen to have a menu full of desserts right here . scott : oh , god . i see an éclair with my name on it . sharon : [ chuckles ] works for me . why do n't you take a seat ? scott : i will . oh ! i am a total pushover for something sweet . you ever have banitsa ? sharon : i do n't know . what is it ? scott : it 's a bulgarian pastry . it 's made with apples and walnuts . i got a really great recipe . i 'll make you some . sharon : oh ! i did n't know that you cook . scott : yeah . i got a lot of secrets . hang out with me , and you might learn a few . sharon : sounds intriguing . scott : well , how about you ? got anything i should know about ? did i say something wrong ? sharon : no . it 's just ... before this friendship goes any further , i think there 's something that i should be honest about with you . ravi : ashley ? i thought you were turning in . ashley : uh , yeah . uh , so did i , but here i am . what about you ? ravi : yeah , i was n't gon na fall asleep any time soon . look , it 's obvious you wanted to be alone , so i 'll just leave you to it . ashley : hey , ravi . want to join me ? ravi : yeah . sharon : i have enjoyed our time together . and i was happy when you asked me out . scott : but ... sharon : my husband . ex - husband , dylan . it 's only been a few months since he left , and i 'm still learning to accept it and move on and just carve out a new life for myself . and there have been times where i actually realized that everything is going to be okay . like when i spend time with my kids , and when i do well in school , and when i 'm spending time with you . but i still have a ways to go . scott : i get it . i mean , you want to take it slow . i 'm still getting over the culture shock of being back in the states . after working overseas so many years , it 's , uh ... it 's a lot to acclimate to . sharon : i can imagine . scott : yeah , and coming home was n't in the plan , so ... i decided to make the best of it , and getting to know you has helped . so if you want to take it slow , we can take it very , very slow . i have no timetable . does n't matter . all i know is i 'm just happy to be spending time with you , sharon . no pressure . mariah : hi ! both of you . please tell i 'm not crashing your date . again . phyllis : ooh . here it is ! billy : that smells good . phyllis : mm - hmm . there you go . you got your wontons ... billy : thank you . i 'm starving . phyllis : spring roll with a side of peanut sauce , and my red beef curry . yeah ! billy : as good as this smells , i miss your home cooking . phyllis : [ laughs ] ordering thai food is my specialty , among other things . billy : you know , i have to admit ... i could n't have predicted how the day would go when i rang your bell -- well , so to speak . phyllis : [ laughs ] billy : in fact , i could n't have predicted about anything today . phyllis : i 'm gon na go out on a limb here . did something happen with victoria after you got to work ? what did she do now ? billy : she apologized . for the way that she 's been treating me , about not wanting me in her life . phyllis : meaning that she does want you ? billy : trust me , i could n't believe it when she said it . phyllis : neither can i . [ laughs ] chelsea : how can someone who claims to love you murder your husband ? i mean , this was my best friend in the entire world , you know ? and people questioned her motives to me , they did . and i defended her . i said that she had a big heart and that she deserved a second chance , when really , she was just a heartless monster out for revenge the entire time . paul : chelsea , chloe is ill . she 's like my sister patty . she is violent and cunning one moment , and the next moment , she 's loving and tender . believe me , i know what it 's like to hope that the person you care about is going to get better ... ... only to find out they are incapable of it . chelsea : oh , i do n't care if chloe gets better . she 's dangerous . she needs to be locked up . she 's out there right now , doing god knows what , while my son and i and all of adam 's family are left to sit here and to suffer . i mean , we 're praying for justice we may never get . christine : hey , chelsea . paul : [ scoffs ] jack : thank you . nick : yep . jack : you 've been on my mind since i heard about adam . i 'm very sorry . nick : yeah , i , uh ... appreciate the thought , jack . you know , you were closer to my brother than i was . this news had to hit you as hard as anyone . jack : yeah , it did , to find out chloe could do that and none of us suspected anything ... how you doing ? nick : i 'm all right . i mean , it was a shock to everyone . especially chelsea . jack : what about victor ? i can only imagine his reaction to finding out his son was murdered in cold blood . he must be going through hell . how 's he handling all this ? ashley : what 's that ? ravi : is that a real question right now ? i mean , there is only one thing that i can think about , and ... yeah , i 'm gon na need another beer before i can finish that sentence . ashley : [ laughs ] i do n't want it to be awkward between us . ravi : yeah , neither do i . but if i 'm being honest , 80 % of my daily interactions are awkward . this just takes it to a whole new level . ashley : well , why is that ? ravi : i do n't know . i do n't want to make a mistake , and i 'm not sure what that kiss meant . ashley : i 'm not sure what it meant , either . ravi : well , for what it 's worth , i enjoyed it very much . benjamin : ashley ! how was your evening ? ashley : oh , hello , benjamin . uh , we had a lovely time at the met , thank you . benjamin : the opera . nice ! know what i did ? dinner and drinks with friends , and the whole time i was asking myself why you decided that you would go out with our young friend here instead of going out with me . nick : you know , dad was devastated all over again . jack : and then for him to learn that chloe escaped , that had to make things worse . he does n't handle setbacks too well , does he ? nick : no , he does not . jack : i assume his minions are tracking her down right now . nick : that 's a safe assumption . you know , once they find her , what happens then is a whole other question . jack : abby said victor left town himself . any chance he 's , uh , on her trail , taking things into his own hands to make himself the hero ? nick : it 's an interesting theory . jack : think there 's any truth to it ? you know , it sounds like something my dad would do , but from what i hear , my dad is just out of town on a business trip . chelsea : i hate this day so much . nick : what 's wrong ? chelsea : paul just told me the police have no leads , so chloe could be anywhere by now . she 's getting away with murder , and apparently , there 's nothing we can do about it . paul : chloe 's smart , and she 's fooled people before , but to drop off the face of the earth like this ? i just keep thinking we must be missing some very obvious clue . but what could it be ? hmm ? christine : you look exhausted . you 've practically been living here . paul : so what 's new ? thanks . christine : i think you need to go home and get some sleep . paul : i will if you come with me . christine : that sounds like heaven but , um , i have a late night . paul : you know , i was just thinking . maybe you ought to take your own advice . christine : i wish i could . a big assignment just fell in my lap , and i have to say , it 's a little intimidating . paul : you ? nervous about a case ? christine : [ chuckles ] happens to the best of us . paul : [ chuckles ] whatever it is , i 'm sure you 're gon na do just fine . phyllis : sounds like victoria was pretty uncomfortable with the way things were left before . billy : she was , yeah . phyllis : what did you tell her ? billy : i said it 's better we , uh , just stay with the status quo . phyllis : which is ? you know , after today , i mean ... billy : just co - parents , co - working ... you know , friends . nothing -- nothing romantic . phyllis : how did she react to that ? billy : she said , `` if that 's the way you want it , then that 's fine . that 's the way we 'll keep it . `` phyllis : then what ? billy : what do you mean , then what ? i mean , we , uh ... we went back to work . phyllis : were you being straight with her ? i mean , is that really all you want from victoria now ? billy : where is this coming from ? phyllis : well , your head must be spinning . you come over here after being upset with victoria this morning , and one thing leads to another with us ... billy : believe me , i remember . phyllis : ... and then you turn right around and find out you have a chance with her . billy : yeah . so ? phyllis : [ scoffs ] come on , billy . this is the love of your life . you find out that there is a possibility you could be with her , and you just shrug your shoulders and say , `` yeah . so ? `` i do n't buy it . billy : what 's going on ? hmm ? we were just having thai food , having a drink , enjoying ourselves , and ... phyllis : i just want to simply know where all of this leaves us . nick : i 'm so sorry . chelsea : this psychopath needs to be locked up for the rest of her life . jack : you 're not the only one who feels that way , chelsea . chelsea : so , what paul told me , should i fill victor in , or ... ? nick : he 's on a trip . he ca n't be reached . chelsea : why ? because of adam ? did he want to be alone to get a handle on his emotions , or ... jack : victor 's not the touchy - feel sort of guy . chelsea : well , normally , no , but this is not normal situation , jack . when i saw victor and i showed him adam 's wedding ring , the ring that chloe took off of his finger and kept as a trophy , victor was just as devastated as i was . nick : [ sighs ] i got to wait on a customer . scott : bombs are raining down . you can hear explosions going off in the distance , and we 're just driving like maniacs . we get halfway down the block and my photographer jams on his brake . he 's got to go back for something . sharon : oh , no ! scott : yes ! yeah , yeah , yeah ! we 're like , `` no , no , no , no ! whatever it is , we can get another one ! we got to get out of here ! `` and he just pulls back in the driveway and runs in , and guess what he comes out with ? he goes in for what , his camera gear or his phone ? i mean , what do you think ? sharon : the whiskey . scott : yes ! mariah : what ? ! scott : i mean , can you believe that ? although , it was top - shelf stuff , but ... mariah : war photographers are fearless , i guess . scott : this guy certainly was , and he was risking our lives over a bottle of booze . unbelievable . whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa ! but we 're sitting inside this jeep with all of this chaos and destruction going on outside , and it turned out to be the best shot i 've ever had in my life . it was just ... zen . sharon : wow . i can imagine . wow . [ laughs ] good story . scott : oh , no , no , no . let me take that . sharon : oh , no . just sit down and relax . here . enjoy your coffee with mariah . mariah : you know , i could listen to you tell stories all night . i do n't even care whether they 're true or not . scott : oh , they 're true . sometimes too true . mariah : i 'm sure , i just mean that you 're a natural storyteller . scott : is that your professional opinion ? mariah : i did n't know i was . professional , that is . scott : yeah . i -- i did n't mean to insult you the other night at kevin 's ... you know , i want to say wedding ? but it , uh ... mariah : i think `` fiasco `` is better . scott : yeah . mariah : and , no , you were right . i have no training and i would have broken the story about chloe and adam and risked having it blow up in my face . scott : well , it 's like a good carpenter . measure twice , cut once . so , pro reporters , they verify their facts , then they back that up by going back and getting some more evidence , and then they publish or go on the air with it , and people have to find out whether or not your story 's trustworthy . and then they 'll decide over time whether or not you are . and then , in that group , an editor will give you some paid gigs . mariah : i think i 'd like to stay away from all the fluff and gossip . you know , leave that to hilary . i 'd like to do more investigative pieces . scott : good . mariah : sharon said that you helped her out with her writing . scott : i critiqued a draft of one of her papers for a class . sharon did the revision and all the heavy lifting . mariah : well , do you think that you 'd be willing to do the same thing with me ? give me some pointers so hopefully i can avoid screwing up ? scott : sure . i 'd be glad to . sharon : sorry , i just had a sudden rush up at the bar . [ cell phone chimes ] mariah : it 's those late - night caffeine addicts getting their last fix of the day . sharon : well , i 'm sorry to have to shut down the party , but i really have to close this place up soon . mariah : i have no idea where this day went . sharon : it just happens that way sometimes , you know ? [ both laugh ] scott : you know , i 'm gon na get out of your hair . uh , thanks for a great evening . [ clears throat ] it was nice talking with you . mariah : yeah , same here . sharon : it was lovely . scott : yeah . i 'll see you soon . sharon : oh ! okay . i 'll look forward to that . scott : night . sharon : night . benjamin : [ exhales sharply ] there . much better . now i just need a drink . ashley : um , excuse me . i do n't believe we invited you to join us . ravi : we did n't . this is actually a private conversation , so if you would n't mind ... benjamin : ravi , right ? you 're the software engineering guy ? ravi : correct . benjamin : yeah , i do n't get it . ravi : perhaps if you had given ashley the respect she deserved when you invited her to dinner , she 'd have spent more time here in new york with you . tonight , she had a better option , someone who 's more than happy to give her his full undivided attention . benjamin : [ laughs ] better ? that 's funny . ashley : actually , you 're the only one laughing . benjamin : uh , listen . do n't take this the wrong way , but you 're just a geeky tech dude who looks down his nose at anybody who does n't know how to code or whatever . but you know what ? if you want a paycheck , you still need to work for guys like me . ravi : guys like you would n't have a business to run if it were n't for guys like me . you 're this self - proclaimed master of the universe with no idea how it actually works . tell me , if your firewalls are breached or your system fails , how would you save hochman industries ? do you even know how to update the graphics on your own company 's website ? no , did n't think so . your tech know - how starts and ends with you posting pictures of whatever you ordered at dinner . so spare me the condescending attitude and do ashley the courtesy of leaving . benjamin : you done ? ravi : actually , no . one more question . you always this much of a pompous ass ? benjamin : [ scoffs ] benjamin : are you serious , dude ? talking that way to me ? ravi : did it sound like i was joking ? 'cause i do n't see anything funny about asking someone to be polite . if you 've forgotten or you just never learned how , i 'd more than happy to teach you . ashley : i think maybe you should call it a night . benjamin : good night , ashley . ravi : oh , my god . oh , my god . oh , my god . that was benjamin hochman . i need that second beer for sure . ashley : and you just continue to surprise me . jack : i apologize for the crack i made about victor . chelsea : oh , no . i -- i knew what you meant . i mean , the truth is , i know victor does n't display his emotions often , but he 's honestly sick about all of this . jack : i do n't doubt that for a minute . chelsea : i know you two have a lot of history , but i 'm sure you can sympathize with a father who lost his son in such a horrific way . jack : i would never wish the loss of a child on anyone , and that includes victor . chelsea : i think right now we 're all just beating ourselves up for not seeing through chloe sooner . well , actually , nick did . i just did n't believe him . jack : wait . nick was onto her ? here . chelsea : thanks . yeah . he was . she said odd things , and then ... [ sighs ] connor has this toy , and it started to fall apart at the seams , and nick offered to fix it , and ... when he did , he found a tracking device inside . jack : really ? chelsea : yeah . he realized it must have been put there by chloe . so i confronted her about it . and , of course , she came up with some elaborate lie about how she was trying to protect me and connor , and i 'm an idiot and so i believed her . jack : but nick did n't . chelsea : no . no , he did n't . and more evidence started to come to light . and he actually tried to get her to confess , but of course she did n't because she 's a psycho and she 's devious . [ sighs ] i think i just -- you know , i had nick in one ear and i had chloe in the other , and i was going through a really confusing time . so i think it was easier for me to trust my friend . i was in denial . i mean , she even convinced me that nick was , like , being unfair to her . that 's -- if i just believed nick from the beginning , chloe would be behind bars right now . jack : i think you 're being a little too hard on yourself . the truth is , she fooled a lot of people . i 'll bet victor is out for blood . i assume his family 's behind him . chelsea : yeah , i mean , his family supports him , but i would n't put it that way . jack : no ? chelsea : no , i mean , i just do n't want to give you the wrong impression . jack : oh , no , i do n't have any impression . i just was n't sure what you meant . chelsea : i think nick and victor and myself , we 're all just handling the tragedy of all of this in different ways . i 'm focusing on my son , victor apparently wants to be alone ... jack : and what about nicholas ? chelsea : he 's really been there for me . he 's been great , but i think he , um ... nick has a lot going on inside , you know , so i do n't think -- i do n't think he 's relating to his father 's grief at all . jack : any part of you think nick blames victor for what happened to adam ? chelsea : i think all the stuff with chloe is opening up old wounds . i think that 's why nick does n't want to hear about it .

[ door closes ] nick : so how was faith when you talked to her ? sharon : she 's coping with things . nick : i hope you 're feeling better about my decision . sharon : taking her out of her grandparents ' place and having her move back home without even a discussion ? nick : sharon , it was time . sharon : she asks about them . especially victor . she 's hoping he 'll be okay with her leaving . nick : trust me , dad is gon na survive . i mean , he just left town . it 's not like he 's gon na be around anyway . sharon : faith mentioned to me that she walked into the stable and saw victor on the ground , and you had knocked him down . nick : yeah , uh , we were sparring . things just got a little out of hand . sharon : hmm , well , it scared faith . nick : we both talked to her , reassured her that everything was fine . sharon : mm , she brought it up to me , so i guess she was more upset than either of you realized . nick : well , i 'll talk to her again . i mean , there 's no reason for her to be concerned . sharon : all the times you 've thought about taking a swing at him ... is there maybe something more to this boxing thing than you 're mentioning ? nick : like what ? sharon : i 'm just wondering if maybe something happened between you and victor , and that 's why you did n't want her living there anymore . nick : dad had nothing to do with my decision , all right ? i just realized the longer we waited to bring faith home , the harder it was gon na be . sharon , she is our daughter , and she belongs with us . do n't you agree with that ? sharon : i 'm thrilled to have her back home . in fact , i 'm planning something special for our first night together . nick : good . she 'll love that . it 'll mean a lot to her . sharon : you taking off ? nick : yeah , i got to go . uh , i 'll talk to you tomorrow ? sharon : all right . see you then . oh ! hello . scott : hey . sorry to cut the evening short . sharon : nikki called you pretty late , so it must have been important . scott : it was a little bizarre , if you want to know the truth . she actually basically ordered me not to write victor 's biography . sharon : wow , that is out of left field . scott : i 'll say . sharon : any reasons ? scott : she 's worried that a tell - all book might hurt the family , but i have a feeling that there 's a little more than that . sharon : well , i could see why . nikki coming to you behind victor 's back while he 's away to scuttle his project ... scott : you know about the trip ? sharon : nick just now mentioned it to me . have you tried to contact victor ? scott : got a recording that his voicemail 's not accepting calls , and , uh , it 's not that nikki was very forthcoming . she did n't tell me where he was or when he 'd be back . just that he did n't want to be reached . seems a little bit sketchy to me . sharon : well , victor 's done that before when there 's been a crisis . and finding out that chloe murdered his son ? i 'd say that qualifies . scott : well , i mean , you know the family . do you think there 's more going on ? chelsea : hey . i came as soon as i got your message . paul : well , i wanted to give you an update on the search for chloe . chelsea : do you have any leads ? i want that woman brought back here . now . phyllis : thanks for stopping by , i ca n't help you right now . i 've got company . maybe tomorrow , okay ?

uh , hey , chelsea . it 's me . feels like it 's been forever . i miss you . so call me . paul : we have been in touch with police departments all over the country , the feds ... so far , there 's no trace . chelsea : nothing ? how can that be ? staying out of sight takes money . chloe tore out of that house with the clothes on her back , literally . a one - of - a- kind custom wedding gown . so if you want to find her , go look for a crazy woman walking around in a wedding dress ! paul : chelsea , chelsea , i know you 're frustrated and angry , but we 're doing everything we can to find her . chloe is in hiding . she is completely off the grid . she is not using any of her credit cards . she has not made a withdrawal from any bank account . chelsea : what about her cell phone ? paul : she 's made no calls . there is no signal . chelsea : so she just vanished ? how , paul ? it 's not like she had time to even prepare for this . she ran away from her own wedding ! paul : look , if chloe thought there was a chance that she would be exposed , i 'm sure she prepared for that contingency . chelsea : what about her old mental hospital ? maybe she 's having a nervous breakdown . maybe she called one of her doctors there . paul : right . you know , that was one of the first calls we made , and if she goes there looking for sanctuary , the chief of staff will contact us immediately . chelsea : you closed the case on adam 's death too soon . paul : look , i want to assure you . we will find her . whatever it takes . we are not giving up . there is no statute of limitations on murder . chelsea : i appreciate your effort , i really do , but it 's cold comfort . i ca n't wait months or years for chloe to pay for what she did to my husband . sharon : i wish i could help , but i have no clue what 's going on . i mean , with victor , anything 's possible . scott : yeah . i hear that a lot . sharon : you know , i 'm sure he 'll be back soon , and he will answer all of your questions . so , in the meantime , i do n't think you should worry about him . scott : yeah , you 're probably right . this is what i 'm like . i just -- i ca n't let this book consume me , you know ?

what did she do now ? billy : she apologized . for the way that she 's been treating me , about not wanting me in her life . phyllis : meaning that she does want you ? billy : trust me , i could n't believe it when she said it . phyllis : neither can i . [ laughs ] chelsea : how can someone who claims to love you murder your husband ? i mean , this was my best friend in the entire world , you know ? and people questioned her motives to me , they did . and i defended her . i said that she had a big heart and that she deserved a second chance , when really , she was just a heartless monster out for revenge the entire time . paul : chelsea , chloe is ill . she 's like my sister patty . she is violent and cunning one moment , and the next moment , she 's loving and tender . believe me , i know what it 's like to hope that the person you care about is going to get better ... ... only to find out they are incapable of it . chelsea : oh , i do n't care if chloe gets better . she 's dangerous . she needs to be locked up . she 's out there right now , doing god knows what , while my son and i and all of adam 's family are left to sit here and to suffer . i mean , we 're praying for justice we may never get . christine : hey , chelsea . paul : [ scoffs ] jack : thank you . nick : yep . jack : you 've been on my mind since i heard about adam . i 'm very sorry . nick : yeah , i , uh ... appreciate the thought , jack . you know , you were closer to my brother than i was . this news had to hit you as hard as anyone . jack : yeah , it did , to find out chloe could do that and none of us suspected anything ... how you doing ? nick : i 'm all right . i mean , it was a shock to everyone . especially chelsea . jack : what about victor ? i can only imagine his reaction to finding out his son was murdered in cold blood . he must be going through hell . how 's he handling all this ? ashley : what 's that ? ravi : is that a real question right now ? i mean , there is only one thing that i can think about , and ... yeah , i 'm gon na need another beer before i can finish that sentence . ashley : [ laughs ] i do n't want it to be awkward between us . ravi : yeah , neither do i . but if i 'm being honest , 80 % of my daily interactions are awkward . this just takes it to a whole new level . ashley : well , why is that ? ravi : i do n't know . i do n't want to make a mistake , and i 'm not sure what that kiss meant . ashley : i 'm not sure what it meant , either . ravi : well , for what it 's worth , i enjoyed it very much . benjamin : ashley ! how was your evening ? ashley : oh , hello , benjamin . uh , we had a lovely time at the met , thank you . benjamin : the opera . nice ! know what i did ? dinner and drinks with friends , and the whole time i was asking myself why you decided that you would go out with our young friend here instead of going out with me . nick : you know , dad was devastated all over again . jack : and then for him to learn that chloe escaped , that had to make things worse . he does n't handle setbacks too well , does he ? nick : no , he does not . jack : i assume his minions are tracking her down right now . nick : that 's a safe assumption . you know , once they find her , what happens then is a whole other question . jack : abby said victor left town himself . any chance he 's , uh , on her trail , taking things into his own hands to make himself the hero ? nick : it 's an interesting theory . jack : think there 's any truth to it ? you know , it sounds like something my dad would do , but from what i hear , my dad is just out of town on a business trip . chelsea : i hate this day so much . nick : what 's wrong ? chelsea : paul just told me the police have no leads , so chloe could be anywhere by now . she 's getting away with murder , and apparently , there 's nothing we can do about it . paul : chloe 's smart , and she 's fooled people before , but to drop off the face of the earth like this ? i just keep thinking we must be missing some very obvious clue . but what could it be ? hmm ? christine : you look exhausted . you 've practically been living here . paul : so what 's new ? thanks . christine : i think you need to go home and get some sleep . paul : i will if you come with me . christine : that sounds like heaven but , um , i have a late night . paul : you know , i was just thinking . maybe you ought to take your own advice . christine : i wish i could . a big assignment just fell in my lap , and i have to say , it 's a little intimidating . paul : you ? nervous about a case ? christine : [ chuckles ] happens to the best of us . paul : [ chuckles ] whatever it is , i 'm sure you 're gon na do just fine . phyllis : sounds like victoria was pretty uncomfortable with the way things were left before . billy : she was , yeah . phyllis : what did you tell her ? billy : i said it 's better we , uh , just stay with the status quo . phyllis : which is ? you know , after today , i mean ... billy : just co - parents , co - working ... you know , friends . nothing -- nothing romantic . phyllis : how did she react to that ? billy : she said , `` if that 's the way you want it , then that 's fine . that 's the way we 'll keep it . `` phyllis : then what ? billy : what do you mean , then what ? i mean , we , uh ... we went back to work . phyllis : were you being straight with her ? i mean , is that really all you want from victoria now ? billy : where is this coming from ? phyllis : well , your head must be spinning . you come over here after being upset with victoria this morning , and one thing leads to another with us ... billy : believe me , i remember . phyllis : ... and then you turn right around and find out you have a chance with her . billy : yeah . so ? phyllis : [ scoffs ] come on , billy . this is the love of your life . you find out that there is a possibility you could be with her , and you just shrug your shoulders and say , `` yeah . so ? `` i do n't buy it . billy : what 's going on ? hmm ? we were just having thai food , having a drink , enjoying ourselves , and ... phyllis : i just want to simply know where all of this leaves us . nick : i 'm so sorry . chelsea : this psychopath needs to be locked up for the rest of her life . jack : you 're not the only one who feels that way , chelsea . chelsea : so , what paul told me , should i fill victor in , or ... ? nick : he 's on a trip . he ca n't be reached . chelsea : why ? because of adam ? did he want to be alone to get a handle on his emotions , or ... jack : victor 's not the touchy - feel sort of guy . chelsea : well , normally , no , but this is not normal situation , jack . when i saw victor and i showed him adam 's wedding ring , the ring that chloe took off of his finger and kept as a trophy , victor was just as devastated as i was . nick : [ sighs ] i got to wait on a customer . scott : bombs are raining down . you can hear explosions going off in the distance , and we 're just driving like maniacs . we get halfway down the block and my photographer jams on his brake . he 's got to go back for something . sharon : oh , no ! scott : yes ! yeah , yeah , yeah ! we 're like , `` no , no , no , no ! whatever it is , we can get another one ! we got to get out of here ! `` and he just pulls back in the driveway and runs in , and guess what he comes out with ? he goes in for what , his camera gear or his phone ? i mean , what do you think ? sharon : the whiskey . scott : yes ! mariah : what ? ! scott : i mean , can you believe that ? although , it was top - shelf stuff , but ... mariah : war photographers are fearless , i guess . scott : this guy certainly was , and he was risking our lives over a bottle of booze . unbelievable . whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa ! but we 're sitting inside this jeep with all of this chaos and destruction going on outside , and it turned out to be the best shot i 've ever had in my life . it was just ... zen . sharon : wow . i can imagine . wow . [ laughs ] good story . scott : oh , no , no , no . let me take that . sharon : oh , no . just sit down and relax . here . enjoy your coffee with mariah . mariah : you know , i could listen to you tell stories all night . i do n't even care whether they 're true or not . scott : oh , they 're true . sometimes too true . mariah : i 'm sure , i just mean that you 're a natural storyteller . scott : is that your professional opinion ? mariah : i did n't know i was . professional , that is . scott : yeah . i -- i did n't mean to insult you the other night at kevin 's ... you know , i want to say wedding ? but it , uh ... mariah : i think `` fiasco `` is better . scott : yeah . mariah : and , no , you were right . i have no training and i would have broken the story about chloe and adam and risked having it blow up in my face . scott : well , it 's like a good carpenter . measure twice , cut once . so , pro reporters , they verify their facts , then they back that up by going back and getting some more evidence , and then they publish or go on the air with it , and people have to find out whether or not your story 's trustworthy . and then they 'll decide over time whether or not you are . and then , in that group , an editor will give you some paid gigs . mariah : i think i 'd like to stay away from all the fluff and gossip . you know , leave that to hilary . i 'd like to do more investigative pieces . scott : good . mariah : sharon said that you helped her out with her writing . scott : i critiqued a draft of one of her papers for a class . sharon did the revision and all the heavy lifting . mariah : well , do you think that you 'd be willing to do the same thing with me ? give me some pointers so hopefully i can avoid screwing up ? scott : sure . i 'd be glad to . sharon : sorry , i just had a sudden rush up at the bar . [ cell phone chimes ] mariah : it 's those late - night caffeine addicts getting their last fix of the day . sharon : well , i 'm sorry to have to shut down the party , but i really have to close this place up soon . mariah : i have no idea where this day went . sharon : it just happens that way sometimes , you know ? [ both laugh ] scott : you know , i 'm gon na get out of your hair . uh , thanks for a great evening . [ clears throat ] it was nice talking with you . mariah : yeah , same here . sharon : it was lovely . scott : yeah . i 'll see you soon . sharon : oh ! okay . i 'll look forward to that . scott : night . sharon : night . benjamin : [ exhales sharply ] there . much better . now i just need a drink . ashley : um , excuse me . i do n't believe we invited you to join us . ravi : we did n't . this is actually a private conversation , so if you would n't mind ... benjamin : ravi , right ? you 're the software engineering guy ? ravi : correct . benjamin : yeah , i do n't get it . ravi : perhaps if you had given ashley the respect she deserved when you invited her to dinner , she 'd have spent more time here in new york with you . tonight , she had a better option , someone who 's more than happy to give her his full undivided attention . benjamin : [ laughs ] better ? that 's funny . ashley : actually , you 're the only one laughing . benjamin : uh , listen . do n't take this the wrong way , but you 're just a geeky tech dude who looks down his nose at anybody who does n't know how to code or whatever . but you know what ? if you want a paycheck , you still need to work for guys like me . ravi : guys like you would n't have a business to run if it were n't for guys like me . you 're this self - proclaimed master of the universe with no idea how it actually works . tell me , if your firewalls are breached or your system fails , how would you save hochman industries ? do you even know how to update the graphics on your own company 's website ? no , did n't think so . your tech know - how starts and ends with you posting pictures of whatever you ordered at dinner . so spare me the condescending attitude and do ashley the courtesy of leaving . benjamin : you done ? ravi : actually , no . one more question . you always this much of a pompous ass ? benjamin : [ scoffs ] benjamin : are you serious , dude ? talking that way to me ? ravi : did it sound like i was joking ?

[ chuckles ] surprise ! devon : [ laughs ] shauna : i ca n't believe you did this ! devon : happy birthday . shauna : [ chuckles ] hey . who told you it was my birthday ? charlie : it was n't me . devon : no . nate told me , actually , and i wish i would have known sooner , 'cause i would have invited your parents . shauna : that 's so nice , but they would n't have been able to come . they just got new jobs in colorado , so ... mattie : here you go . devon : nice . all right . hey , let 's gather around . i want to give a toast to the birthday girl . charlie : ooh . devon : so , i was gon na say what a great girl shauna is and , uh , list all the reasons that i 'm glad that she came into my life , but i think that i 'm going to let hilary do those honors . i found this amongst her things , and when she wanted you to move in with us , she made a list of reasons to convince me that it was a good idea . so , i 'm gon na read it . `` number 1 -- she needs me . 2 -- she 's a great kid . smart , kind , and a hard worker . 3 -- she deserves a break . 4 -- i really think that i can help her . the most important reason why i want shauna to live with us is i think that she can help me far more than i could ever help her . `` hilary obviously saw something very special in you , and i know i 've only known you for a short amount of time , but you 've already brought an incredible amount of joy into my life , and i just want to say happy birthday and i 'm very glad that you were born 18 years ago today , because the world is certainly a better place with you in it , shauna . so , happy birthday ! mattie : happy birthday ! happy birthday ! victoria : wow . i look the part . nate : [ chuckling ] yes , you do . that 's a good start . victoria : so , now what ? nate : first we start with the basics . we relax our bodies . face me . feet together . interlock your fingers . close your eyes . breathe up , in . [ inhales deeply ] push down , out . [ exhales sharply ] victoria : [ exhales sharply ] nate : there you go . one more . breathe in . [ inhales deeply ] out . [ both exhale deeply ] amazing . drop your hands to your sides . all right . now you 're gon na take your left foot and you 're gon na step out towards me , like a lunge . there you go . all right . whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa ! um ... keep your back leg straight . you have to keep your back leg straight and maintain your balance . balance equals control . control is everything . it 's one of the five tenets of tae kwon do . victoria : is that what we 're doing ? this is tae kwon do ? nate : uh , well , i -- it 's -- it 's one of the martial arts . i have studied a lot , and you take the power of one with the speed of the other . it 's kind of like ballet , where you blend multiple disciplines to create the perfect dance . victoria : well , next you 're gon na tell me that you 're a professional ballet dancer . nate : actually ... victoria : no . nate : gotcha . i 'm just -- [ both chuckle ] victoria : that 's funny . nate : all right . victoria : so , can you teach me how to do one of those high kicks ? nate : as long as you remember this is n't about inflicting pain . victoria : okay . i 'll try . nate : all right . go back to position 1 . victoria : position 1 . nate : position 1 . all right . now come back into position 2 . victoria : all right . nate : all right . what you 're gon na do is you bring your back leg up to a tabletop , here . victoria : oh . nate : okay ? so you 're here . victoria : uh - huh . nate : then you 're gon na come here . victoria : all right . nate : let me see it . victoria : aah ! nate : there you go . now go back . balance . balance . now when you come up , you 're here . huh ! victoria : huh ! nate : perfect ! [ chuckling ] there you go ! look at you ! `` the young and the restless `` will continue . nate : your office is n't the most practical place , but i could teach you a few more techniques . [ cellphone chimes ] victoria : one second . nate : is everything okay ? victoria : uh , yes . it 's just -- it 's my friend sharon . just wedding stuff . i got to go . maybe we can do this lesson some other time . nate : yeah , no . do what you got to do . victoria : okay . nate : call me if you need anything , all right ? victoria : yes , i will . thank you . oh , i forgot this . nate : no , no , no . hey , hey . keep it . victoria : oh . really ? nate : of course . victoria : okay . thanks . i will . i 'm just gon na put it right over here . nate : all right . victoria : um ... i -- nate : oh , i - i got it . here you go . victoria : thank you . nate : you 're welcome . victoria : all right . nate : all right . see you later . victoria : bye . nate : bye . jack : thank you for agreeing to meet with me , matt . matt : i got to say , i was curious when i got the call . jack : abby told me you were visiting a friend in madison , and i thought i 'd take a chance . matt : it 's been a long time since i 've been in genoa city . not a lot of reason for me to be here . jack : i take it , then , you and victor have not remained close . matt : i would n't say my brother and i are on bad terms -- more like no terms . jack : well , you 're still ahead of me . matt : mm . how 's the old rivalry going ? jack : oh , stronger than ever . matt : that 's why you contacted me -- you wanted me to help you with some problem you 're having with victor ? jack : no , no . no . a -- i do need your help with something , though . matt : oh , now i 'm really curious . jack : i know you called gc buzz to identify your father in that photo . matt : who would have thought old albert was hobnobbing with g.c . elite years before victor even arrived here ? jack : yeah , we were all pretty shocked by that . matt : it 's ironic that abby was reaching out to the public to identify her own grandfather . jack : actually ... it was me trying to find out who the man in that photo was . matt : you ? why ? jack : i had reason to think the man could be my biological father . matt : wait . you and i ... jack : could be brothers . that 's what i need your help in determining . matt : so ... if you 're my brother ... jack : i could be victor 's brother , too . charlie : party 's lit . shauna : [ chuckles ] charlie : you having a good time ? shauna : are you kidding ? this is amazing . but ... i 'm worried about you . charlie : no , i 'm having a great time . shauna : when you 're not thinking about your mom . charlie : look , i know my mom would be hella mad if i was just sitting here , moping around , instead of having a good time with my friends . shauna : would n't want to make your mom mad . [ chuckles ] mattie : one more gift . shauna : but you already gave me the spa day . mattie : it cost nothing , but it 's worth a lot . charlie : only mattie would give you a birthday present with a riddle . shauna : [ chuckles ] [ chuckles ] a voter - registration form . mattie : like i said , it 's worth a lot . shauna : i 'm gon na fill this out and sent it in today . mattie : [ chuckles ] shauna : [ chuckles ] devon : yo . nate : did i miss the cake ? devon : not at all . come in . nate : all right , all right . where 's the birthday girl ? ! shauna : [ chuckles ] right here . and she wants to thank you . nate : well , i guess you 're not mad at me for spilling the beans about your birthday . shauna : no way . this is the best birthday i 've ever had . nate : good . good . victoria : out of the blue , rey just offered you a job ? sharon : he said i had the perfect skill set for the position , with my degree and my work on the hotline . obviously , i ca n't accept the offer . victoria : no . yes , you can . sharon : what ? victoria : say you 'll do it . sharon : you think i should take the job ? victoria : he 's trying to get information out of you , right ? so what better way to stop him than to turn the tables on him ? if you 're working for the police department , then you can keep tabs no rey and his investigation into j.t . 's disappearance . you 're gon na have access to computer files and surveillance- video footage , confidential information . sharon : i do n't know . victoria : think about it . if rey and paul come up with some new evidence , then you can warn us ... so that we 'll all be on the same page . we can avoid being tripped up . sharon : i guess so . victoria : if you can keep him off of our trail long enough , then this will just be declared a cold case . think about what a relief that will be . sharon : a huge one . but in the meantime , i would have to go to work every day and lie to my coworkers , and i really do n't like the idea of that . victoria : is n't it better than the idea of going to prison ? nate : so , how 'bout it ? did you enjoy your birthday today ? shauna : it was amazing . nate : good . good . well ... shauna : i ca n't thank you and devon enough for tonight . nate : oh , no , no . that was all devon . devon : what 'd i do ? nate : oh . [ chuckles ] nothing . i was just , uh , telling shauna that the whole party , everything , was your idea , man . devon : oh . well ... are you taking off already ? nate : yeah , yeah . i got to -- got to go . but enjoy the day . devon : okay . all right . take it easy . nate : all right . happy birthday again . shauna : thanks . nate : all right . devon : hey , you okay ? shauna : that party was ... everything . i mean , i - i could n't have asked for more . devon : i 'm glad you liked it . i can think of at least one thing that was certainly missing . shauna : she would have loved that you did this for me . devon : and she would have done a better job . shauna : this was perfect . devon : yeah ? well , i just wanted to mark this -- this milestone in a special way for you . shauna : you did . devon : good . shauna : you know ... since i 'm 18 , i 'm old enough to live on my own now . devon : yeah . i suppose you are . is that what you want to do ? shauna : it was hilary 's idea for me to move in here . i just do n't want you to feel like you have to let me stay . devon : what are you talking about ? did you not tell me about your birthday 'cause you thought i 'd ask you to move out ? shauna : i - i 'd understand if you did . devon : shauna , that did n't cross my mind one time . shauna : for real ? devon : yes , for real . you and i are family now . okay ? there 's no expiration date on that . shauna : i - i just do n't want you to feel like you -- devon : shauna , seriously . shauna : okay . devon : no more thinking like that . i mean it . all right ? it 's time now for you to open your present . i did n't have a lot of time to shop , but i think you 're gon na like it . jack : abby was making a film about dina 's life , trying to capture memories she had while she still had any memories at all , and that 's when my mother let us know that she 'd been unfaithful to john from the very start . matt : and that he was n't your father ? jack : and we knew that brent davis was ashley 's father , but once i found out that john was n't mine ... matt : and dina never told you that -- who your father was ? jack : no . she did n't remember , and she may never remember . matt : gosh . i 'm really sorry about her condition . jack : ah , thank you , but i already lost the only father i 've ever really known , and i 'm losing my mother by -- by inches . i want to know who i 'm connected to . that 's why i need your help . matt : you want a dna sample ? jack : exactly . matt : and i guess asking victor is out of the question . jack : turned me down flat . matt : not surprising , given your history . jack : will you help me ? matt : [ inhales deeply ] well , victor and i are not close ... and i do n't want to do anything to upset him . if anybody understands why victor does n't need another reminder of albert miller in his life , it 's me . shauna : i ca n't accept this . devon : why ca n't you accept it ? shauna : it 's too much . do you know how much college costs these days ? devon : yes , i do , actually . shauna : tuition is crazy expensive . we 're talking a lot of money . that 's why i came up with a plan . i 'm gon na go to a community college , save up , apply for scholarships . devon : okay . here . i 'll tell you what we can do . we 're gon na call this the hilary curtis hamilton memorial scholarship fund , and you 're the first recipient of it . all right ? it covers all expenses to any four - year university of your choice . you can stay here . you can go out of state . you can study abroad . shauna : i do n't know what to say . devon : just say that you accept it , please . shauna : you 're awesome -- totally awesome . i never dreamed that i could go to the kind of colleges that you 're talking about . devon : well , you need to start . you know what hilary would always say . shauna : `` dream big . `` devon : exactly . she was very excited about your future , and so am i , and i want to make sure that you have everything that she would want you to have . shauna : i 'm gon na do everything that i can to make both of you proud . devon : i have no doubt that you will . shauna : thank you , devon . thank you so much . devon : you 're welcome . rey : got your text . what 's up ? sharon : i have an answer for you . rey : that was fast . sharon : i spoke to some friends whose opinion i respect . rey : and let me guess -- they agreed with me . you 're a perfect fit , right ? sharon : actually ... they did . they were very supportive of me taking the job . but ... working with victims on the crisis hotline is one thing . being a part of the police force , even as a civilian -- now , that 's daunting . i 'd be working in an unfamiliar territory , facing situations that i can not prepare for or control , and it would be very challenging ... which is why i 've decided to take the job . rey : wait . did you just say that you ... sharon : um [ chuckles ] sometimes you got to go outside of your comfort zone . rey : [ chuckles ] well , i 'm hoping that 's not the case for too long . i - i want you to feel at home at the g.c.p.d . sharon : when do i start ? rey : as soon as we sort through all the formalities . how -- how 's tomorrow ? sharon : whoa . um , okay . rey : welcome to the force . victor : what the hell are you doing here ? matt : victor . good to see you , too . victor : answer my question . jack : matt is here because i invited him to have a drink with me . victor : i know why you did that . the question is why did you agree to meet with this bastard ? matt : i did n't know what jack was going to talk about until i got here . victor : whatever it was , you must have known it was not in my best interests . matt : i have not offered to help jack with anything yet . victor : you 're discussing family matters . i guess being disloyal to your brother does n't mean anything to you ? jack : what if i 'm your brother , victor ? will you feel that loyalty toward me ? victor : now have you become delusional , as well ? that 's an absurd question , jack . matt : jack just wants answers about his family . are n't you curious if he belongs to ours ? victor : i know everything there is to know about jack abbott , and so should you . matt : maybe he 's ... right . we should just drop it . jack : i ca n't do that . i need your help . you are my last shot at finding out whether victor and i are brothers . | rey offers sharon a job working for the police department working as victim liason she tells him she will think about the offer . sharon talks to victoria who tells sharon she should take the job to see how the invrstigation on jt 's case is going and get access to files hopefully the police will never find out the truth and it can just become a cold case . sharon tells rey she will take the job and he welcomes her to the police department and says she can start tomorrow . shauna has a low key birthday celebration wioth charlie at crimson lights and she tells charlie that she didn'ttell devon it was her birthday . nate finds out about shauna 's birthday because he sees the wrapping paper on charlie 's present to shauna and tells devon the news . devon throws a birthday party for shauna ans she is thrilled about her party . shauna tells devon that she is eighteen now so she can move out but he tells her notto think about it because they are family now . devon gives shauna a scholorship in hilary 's memory to pay for college . nate gives victiria karate classes and teaches her basic self defense to help her feel more in control . jack has drinks with victor 's brother matt toask him to give hima dna sample but after victor gets angry with matt for talking to jack matt is n't sure he should give jack a dna sample . | <s>[INST] [ previously_on ] devon : hilary loved us , and we love her , and i think that right now , we need each other more than ever . rey : something happened that night at the party . if these women are hiding something , sharon 's gon na be the one to talk . you sit her right over there , and soon i will get the answer to the j.t . puzzle . nate : not that long ago , you were in an abusive relationship . victoria : sometimes i can still feel him choking me . is that ever gon na go away ? victor : that was a picture of albert miller , my father . now , what makes you think that you 're the son of that man , based on an old photo ? jack : it seems like quite a coincidence to me that dina 's and albert 's paths crossed just when she got pregnant with me . victor : that 's delusional thinking . jack : the reason you 're here , the reason you 're working so hard to disabuse me of this idea , is that you 're having a little trouble not believing it yourself . victoria : because of the losses that we 've suffered in our real - estate department , we 've had to restructure our debt . victor : we talked about that weeks ago . you and i agreed on mezzanine financing . victoria : but we decided on subordination agreements instead . victor : who decided ? victoria : i spoke with our tax attorneys . victor : sweetheart , you talk to whoever you have to to change that , okay ? victoria : [ sighs ] it 's not that easy . victor : what 's the matter with you ? you 're the c.o.o . you make it happen . what 's -- you feel all right ? victoria : yes , i 'm fine . it 's just a little warm in here . that 's all . nate : i hope i 'm not interrupting . i just ... victor : ah ! nate : ... want to check on my patient . victor : how are you ? nate : good . you ? victor : nice to see you . nate : good to see you , too . victor : doing well . nate : that 's good . i wanted to stop and make sure that you 're following my diet and exercise program . victor : well , you know nikki watches very carefully what i eat , all right ? and as far as exercise is concerned , you do n't ever have to worry . i do that every day -- little boxing , lifting weights , walking up hills , you know . nate : four days a week ? victor : you bet . nate : okay . all right . victor : but thank you for checking in on me . nate : i wish all my patients were as cooperative as you . victoria : absolutely unnecessary , because , as you can see , my father 's doing just fine . nate : i never give less than 100 % to all my patients . victor : i wish all doctors were like that . nice to see you . nate : i 'll let you get back to work . victor : see you later on . nate : all right . victor : i was n't sure about him at first , but he turns out to be a fine doctor . abby : i still ca n't believe what nick managed to do with this place . jack : well , it was nick 's brainstorm , but without arturo , there would be nothing to admire . abby : oh - ho ! is that why you wanted to talk to me -- hoping to get some information about dark horse 's new head of construction ? jack : no . i want to talk to you ... about victor . abby : it blows my mind , thinking that you two could actually be brothers . jack : abby , i need to be sure of this , and with your continued help , i can be . abby : well , i 'm not really sure what else i can do . jack : dna . abby : what ? jack : all i 'm asking is that you bring me a sample of victor 's dna . abby : [ sighs ] charlie : happy birthday . shauna : charlie ! you 're so sweet . charlie : um , i mean , i was going for dope or tight , but ... shauna : well , you 're both . sweet , too . charlie : eh , i guess that 's cool . shauna : i 'd ask you in , but devon 's not here . charlie : i do n't want to get you in trouble . i just came to give you that . shauna : you should n't have . charlie : no , it 's not a big deal . and it 's nothing compared to what uncle devon got you . shauna : devon did n't get me anything . charlie : you mean yet . shauna : i mean period . i did n't tell him it 's my birthday . devon : i 'm very worried about lily . nate : yeah , cane said prison has been rough on her . devon : yeah . it really is bad , and she 's only been there for a couple of weeks , but it killed me to see her there at all . nate : yeah , but i bet you your visit really lifted her spirits . devon : you know , i would n't have gone if charlie had n't pushed me to . nate : yeah , well , i 'm just glad you went , for lily 's sake and yours . devon : i 'm glad charlie was mature enough to reach out to me . nate : yeah . it 's amazing what you can do when you 're , uh , willing to take the first step . sharon : do n't take another step . rey : i 'm just here to congratulate you on your recent graduation from college . sharon : still spying on me ? rey : oh , was your graduation a secret ? because if it was , you should tell nick . he 's been bragging all about you . sharon : okay , fine . i 've been congratulated . you can go now . i 'm not interested in making small talk with you . rey : i 'm not here for small talk . i have an agenda . sharon : what else is new ? rey : it 's all above board this time . i want to offer you a job ... with the g.c.p.d . additional sponsorship provided by ... jack : abby , i know i 'm asking a lot . abby : you know i would do anything for you , uncle jack . jack : and you already have . abby : going behind my father 's back ? with all due respect , this is your journey . it 's not mine . jack : all i 'm asking for is a toothbrush or a few strands of hair . victor would never know that you took them . abby : but i would . look , i know that you 're anxious to find out who you are , where you come from , but ... i just feel really uncomfortable being caught in the middle of this . i 'm sorry . jack : abby ... abby ... abby : jack . jack : hear me out , all right ? abby : i 'm sorry . i do n't know what else to say . i 'm sorry . jack : abby , i am not going to give up until i know the truth . [ sighs ] sharon : you were n't serious before , were you , about me working for the g.c.p.d . ? because i 'd make a lousy cop . rey : well , lucky for you , we 're not looking for a cadet . we 're looking to hire a victim liaison . sharon : we learned about those in class . they work with crime victims . rey : and coordinate social services for them , providing legal and emotional support . i 've seen liaisons in action in other police departments . the work they do literally saves lives . sharon : seems like such a simple thing , just letting someone know you care . rey : simple for some people . but most cops are like me . you get so caught up with the crime - solving aspect of our work , we forget about the human aspect of things . sharon : the closer you give victims and their families is a huge help to them , even if you 're not all warm and fuzzy about it . rey : that 's why we need someone like you . sharon : [ sighs ] sounds like this liaison would be working closely with the police , as well as the victim . rey : yeah . the setup works best when there 's a solid relationship between the cop and the liaison officer . sharon : i 'm gon na have to think about it . is the , uh , application on the g.c.p.d . website ? rey : oh , there 's no need to apply . i 've already talked to paul about it , and he thinks you 're perfect . the job 's yours if you want it , save for the usual paperwork and checks . sharon : um ... i really do n't think this is a direction i want to go in right now . rey : y - you sure ? sharon : thanks for thinking of me , but i 'm gon na have to turn you down . charlie : i want to film you opening it , but the lighting is not good over here . hey , can you go over there , to the chair ? okay . go . shauna : [ chucking ] okay . [ chuckles softly ] `` prom 2018 . `` charlie : turn it over . shauna : `` best night ever . `` it was . charlie : yeah . thanks to hilary . shauna : i know . i 'll think of her -- and you -- every time i look at this . thank you . i love it . nate : hey ! happy birthday , shauna . shauna : thanks ! how 'd you know ? nate : the birthday wrapping paper gave it away . shauna : [ chuckles ] nate : well , congratulations on turning 18 . you guys off to celebrate ? charlie : yeah . we 're , uh , going to the coffeehouse . nate : ah , okay . have fun . charlie : thanks . shauna : thanks . victor : thank you , my sweetheart . i 'm going to work out , and let 's discuss the quarter reports this afternoon , all right ? victoria : all right , dad . that sounds good . victor : okay . bye . victoria : bye . devon : jack . hey . what are you doing ? jack : i 'm just finishing up a little breakfast . devon : you know you just put a napkin in your pocket . jack : [ chuckles ] look at that . i did n't realize that . devon : it 's okay . it happens all the time , actually . you 'd be surprised how much money is spent on linen . jack : well , this is one napkin you 're not gon na have to replace . devon : well , i appreciate it . have a good one . [ sighs ] jack : hello . this is jack abbott . fine , thanks . uh , listen , i 'd love to meet with you . nate : thanks , man . devon : yeah . so , she 's ... 18 today ? how 'd i not know that ? nate : it 's 'cause shauna did n't tell you . devon : i bet she told hilary . nate : yeah . she probably feels that you just have a lot going on right now . devon : i know what that 's like . i know what she 's going through . i was the same way when i was in foster care . i never wanted to do anything to cause any commotion , especially with parents that i liked . nate : oh , you mean like neil and dru ? devon : yeah . they were much better at this than i am . nate : [ chuckles ] i - i think your memory 's a little cloudy , man . you remember your first birthday with them ? devon : sure . it was at the zoo . nate : yeah , alone , because they forgot that it was your birthday . devon : well , i did n't mind , though . my grandma would take me , so i had good memories there . nate : are you kidding me ? they -- they screwed up . you almost got eaten by a lion . devon : i think i was too scrawny back then to get eaten . nate : luckily , malcolm pulled you out of the enclosure before they could figure out if that were true or not . devon : yeah . i wonder what shauna 's doing to celebrate today . nate : charlie 's taking her to crimson lights . that 's actually why i came by . i wanted to see if you could talk to the pastry chef at the club to whip her up a fancy cake or -- or -- or something and surprise her when she got back . devon : hmm . i 'll tell you , we can do much better than that . devon : so , that 's what i 'm picturing . i think i can pull it off well . what do you think ? nate : i think it sounds amazing , man . devon : yeah . nate : i 'm sure shauna will love it .

[ chuckles ] mattie : one more gift . shauna : but you already gave me the spa day . mattie : it cost nothing , but it 's worth a lot . charlie : only mattie would give you a birthday present with a riddle . shauna : [ chuckles ] [ chuckles ] a voter - registration form . mattie : like i said , it 's worth a lot . shauna : i 'm gon na fill this out and sent it in today . mattie : [ chuckles ] shauna : [ chuckles ] devon : yo . nate : did i miss the cake ? devon : not at all . come in . nate : all right , all right . where 's the birthday girl ? ! shauna : [ chuckles ] right here . and she wants to thank you . nate : well , i guess you 're not mad at me for spilling the beans about your birthday . shauna : no way . this is the best birthday i 've ever had . nate : good . good . victoria : out of the blue , rey just offered you a job ? sharon : he said i had the perfect skill set for the position , with my degree and my work on the hotline . obviously , i ca n't accept the offer . victoria : no . yes , you can . sharon : what ? victoria : say you 'll do it . sharon : you think i should take the job ? victoria : he 's trying to get information out of you , right ? so what better way to stop him than to turn the tables on him ? if you 're working for the police department , then you can keep tabs no rey and his investigation into j.t . 's disappearance . you 're gon na have access to computer files and surveillance- video footage , confidential information . sharon : i do n't know . victoria : think about it . if rey and paul come up with some new evidence , then you can warn us ... so that we 'll all be on the same page . we can avoid being tripped up . sharon : i guess so . victoria : if you can keep him off of our trail long enough , then this will just be declared a cold case . think about what a relief that will be . sharon : a huge one . but in the meantime , i would have to go to work every day and lie to my coworkers , and i really do n't like the idea of that . victoria : is n't it better than the idea of going to prison ? nate : so , how 'bout it ? did you enjoy your birthday today ? shauna : it was amazing . nate : good . good . well ... shauna : i ca n't thank you and devon enough for tonight . nate : oh , no , no . that was all devon . devon : what 'd i do ? nate : oh .

shauna : that party was ... everything . i mean , i - i could n't have asked for more . devon : i 'm glad you liked it . i can think of at least one thing that was certainly missing . shauna : she would have loved that you did this for me . devon : and she would have done a better job . shauna : this was perfect . devon : yeah ? well , i just wanted to mark this -- this milestone in a special way for you . shauna : you did . devon : good . shauna : you know ... since i 'm 18 , i 'm old enough to live on my own now . devon : yeah . i suppose you are . is that what you want to do ? shauna : it was hilary 's idea for me to move in here . i just do n't want you to feel like you have to let me stay . devon : what are you talking about ? did you not tell me about your birthday 'cause you thought i 'd ask you to move out ? shauna : i - i 'd understand if you did . devon : shauna , that did n't cross my mind one time . shauna : for real ? devon : yes , for real . you and i are family now . okay ? there 's no expiration date on that . shauna : i - i just do n't want you to feel like you -- devon : shauna , seriously . shauna : okay . devon : no more thinking like that . i mean it . all right ?

jack : and we knew that brent davis was ashley 's father , but once i found out that john was n't mine ... matt : and dina never told you that -- who your father was ? jack : no . she did n't remember , and she may never remember . matt : gosh . i 'm really sorry about her condition . jack : ah , thank you , but i already lost the only father i 've ever really known , and i 'm losing my mother by -- by inches . i want to know who i 'm connected to . that 's why i need your help . matt : you want a dna sample ? jack : exactly . matt : and i guess asking victor is out of the question . jack : turned me down flat . matt : not surprising , given your history . jack : will you help me ? matt : [ inhales deeply ] well , victor and i are not close ... and i do n't want to do anything to upset him . if anybody understands why victor does n't need another reminder of albert miller in his life , it 's me . shauna : i ca n't accept this . devon : why ca n't you accept it ? shauna : it 's too much . do you know how much college costs these days ? devon : yes , i do , actually . shauna : tuition is crazy expensive . we 're talking a lot of money . that 's why i came up with a plan . i 'm gon na go to a community college , save up , apply for scholarships . devon : okay . here . i 'll tell you what we can do . we 're gon na call this the hilary curtis hamilton memorial scholarship fund , and you 're the first recipient of it . all right ?

sharon : i have an answer for you . rey : that was fast . sharon : i spoke to some friends whose opinion i respect . rey : and let me guess -- they agreed with me . you 're a perfect fit , right ? sharon : actually ... they did . they were very supportive of me taking the job . but ... working with victims on the crisis hotline is one thing . being a part of the police force , even as a civilian -- now , that 's daunting . i 'd be working in an unfamiliar territory , facing situations that i can not prepare for or control , and it would be very challenging ... which is why i 've decided to take the job . rey : wait . did you just say that you ... sharon : um [ chuckles ] sometimes you got to go outside of your comfort zone . rey : [ chuckles ] well , i 'm hoping that 's not the case for too long . i - i want you to feel at home at the g.c.p.d . sharon : when do i start ? rey : as soon as we sort through all the formalities . how -- how 's tomorrow ? sharon : whoa . um , okay . rey : welcome to the force . victor : what the hell are you doing here ? matt : victor . good to see you , too . victor : answer my question . jack : matt is here because i invited him to have a drink with me . victor : i know why you did that . the question is why did you agree to meet with this bastard ? matt : i did n't know what jack was going to talk about until i got here . victor : whatever it was , you must have known it was not in my best interests . matt : i have not offered to help jack with anything yet . victor : you 're discussing family matters . i guess being disloyal to your brother does n't mean anything to you ? jack : what if i 'm your brother , victor ? will you feel that loyalty toward me ? victor : now have you become delusional , as well ? that 's an absurd question , jack . matt : jack just wants answers about his family . are n't you curious if he belongs to ours ? victor : i know everything there is to know about jack abbott , and so should you . matt : maybe he 's ... right . we should just drop it . jack : i ca n't do that . i need your help . you are my last shot at finding out whether victor and i are brothers .Summarize.[/INST]rey offers sharon a job working for the police department working as victim liason she tells him she will think about the offer . sharon talks to victoria who tells sharon she should take the job to see how the invrstigation on jt 's case is going and get access to files hopefully the police will never find out the truth and it can just become a cold case . sharon tells rey she will take the job and he welcomes her to the police department and says she can start tomorrow . shauna has a low key birthday celebration wioth charlie at crimson lights and she tells charlie that she didn'ttell devon it was her birthday . nate finds out about shauna 's birthday because he sees the wrapping paper on charlie 's present to shauna and tells devon the news . devon throws a birthday party for shauna ans she is thrilled about her party . shauna tells devon that she is eighteen now so she can move out but he tells her notto think about it because they are family now . devon gives shauna a scholorship in hilary 's memory to pay for college . nate gives victiria karate classes and teaches her basic self defense to help her feel more in control . jack has drinks with victor 's brother matt toask him to give hima dna sample but after victor gets angry with matt for talking to jack matt is n't sure he should give jack a dna sample .</s> | 18,111 |

[ scene_break ] gigi : roxy , are you all right ? roxy : yeah , of course . why should n't i be ? gigi : you look like you just saw a ghost . roxy : i was just remembering something -- something that happened a long time ago . gigi : what was it ? it 's okay . you can tell me . roxy : when you were talking about little sierra being ripped from your arms ... gigi : yeah ? roxy : the same thing happened to me . [ scene_break ] mitch : stacy 's baby 's father ? i know nothing of him , only that it is n't my son rex . allison : much as stacy tried to pretend otherwise . mitch : yeah . well , she finally admitted the truth , that that baby had nothing to do with my son . she was finally forced to rely on a plethora of potential fathers to get herself with child . allison : and the one she chose could turn out to be very valuable to us . his names schuyler joplin . [ scene_break ] schuyler : you 're right . i never should have gone along with stacy and kim . bad move , okay ? bad move . i guess , honestly , i was terrified of being a father , i did n't want to lose gigi , and so i kept my mouth shut . but i 'm gon na make up for it . you know how ? i 'm gon na be a good father to my daughter . rex : you 're an addict . schuyler : recovering . rex : and is n't that whole deal about honesty , and is n't lying the first step down that slippery slope ? schuyler : yeah , okay , yeah , and i 'm gon na make amends , starting with my daughter , and i 'm so sorry . i 'm so sorry that hurts gigi , but like i said , she can come by and see sierra anytime she wants . rex : you 're not hearing me , joplin . i 'm not asking you to do the right thing . i 'm telling you . [ scene_break ] gigi : are you talking about what happened with rex ? roxy : when what happened with rex ? gigi : when he was a little kid , his aunt corinne took him away from you . roxy : corinne ? no , it happened a long time before that . gigi : how much before ? roxy : when he was born .

[ scene_break ] marty : i never meant for you to hear this from anyone but me , especially roxy . john : i did n't hear it from roxy . marty : who told you ? john : at this point , does it matter ? marty : yes , it matters . no one else -- this is nobody 's business but yours and mine . john : natalie told me . [ scene_break ] viki : sweetheart , i do n't think there 's any way that anyone , even marty , could hate you . natalie : hmm . well , i did n't think it was possible for anyone to ever hate you , but somehow dorian manages to pull it off . viki : no . dorian does n't hate me . dorian is resentful , she 's unbelievably competitive , and she 's jealous sometimes . that 's all . natalie : marty hates me , mom . and it 's okay , you know ? i get it . you push someone hard enough , and eventually they snap . [ scene_break ] marty : natalie told you i was pregnant ? let me guess . roxy went running to her , and natalie felt she should break the news . john : no . apparently she found out by accident . marty : by accident . of course it was an accident . it 's always an accident with natalie . oh , my god . because she did n't mean to kiss you . she did n't mean to ruin what should have been the most important moment of our lives ! god help us if she ever does anything on purpose !

[ scene_break ] john : apparently she saw the pregnancy test . marty : how ? john : was it in your purse ? marty : yes , it was -- yes , it was in my purse . she was looking in my purse ? john : no . she did n't know it was yours . bree accidentally knocked it over . you left it in the foyer at viki 's . marty : oh , my god . i ca n't believe this . john : you know what ? how about we stop talking about natalie and we start talking about you and me ? [ scene_break ] natalie : i 'm thrilled for marty and john . i mean , having a baby is a wonderful thing , and john 's gon na make a wonderful father . viki : you 're not a little disappointed ? you did seem to be reconnecting with john lately . natalie : john saved my life , so we 've been spending a lot more time together , but , uh , it 's nothing that would threaten john and marty 's relationship . that was never gon na happen , especially if i leave the country . viki : why would you leave the country ? natalie : i could tag along with you guys and help take care of bree . i mean , i could really use the r & r in london . viki : oh , honey , whatever you need .

[ scene_break ] natalie : i 'm thrilled for marty and john . i mean , having a baby is a wonderful thing , and john 's gon na make a wonderful father . viki : you 're not a little disappointed ? you did seem to be reconnecting with john lately . natalie : john saved my life , so we 've been spending a lot more time together , but , uh , it 's nothing that would threaten john and marty 's relationship . that was never gon na happen , especially if i leave the country . viki : why would you leave the country ? natalie : i could tag along with you guys and help take care of bree . i mean , i could really use the r & r in london . viki : oh , honey , whatever you need .

[ scene_break ] gigi : allison perkins ? roxy : it 's a real kick in the teeth , right ? gigi : she 's the one who took rex away from you ? roxy : after she delivered him . gigi : allison perkins delivered your baby ? roxy : i did n't ask her , believe me . she was so excited because mitch laurence was the father . she had to be there the second the baby was born . gigi : and she was . roxy : we were all alone in the cabin , like you and your sister , and i went into labor early , and my little baby was as sick as a dog , just like little sierra . and he needed help , and the only person that could help him was allison . [ scene_break ] oliver : i do n't get it . schuyler is sierra 's father , so he takes his daughter home . what 's the problem ? greg : maybe the fact that schuyler joplin is a drug addict and a thief ? but i 'm just guessing . [ scene_break ] schuyler : if gigi wants to come by and work out some kind of arrangement , then she can come , and we 'll talk . rex : you are not hearing me . joplin , there 's of arrangement ! sierra goes back to gigi ! schuyler : who the hell do you think you are ? you do n't make decisions for anyone around here -- not me , not gigi , and not sierra rose . you had your chance , and you blew it because you slept with stacy . rex : so did you . schuyler : yeah , and it 's my kid , so you do n't get to waltz in here and try to score points with gigi by threatening me and my child . rex : that 's all you care about , huh ? keeping score ? schuyler : yeah . yeah , and i won because gigi dumped you . rex : she dumped you . schuyler : she 'll be back as soon as she finds out you ca n't deliver . rex : you son of a [ scene_break ] marty : i was gon na tell you tonight . john : how long have you known ? marty : i do n't know -- a day or so . i 've been in a bit of shock . john , i was n't planning this . i did n't even pick up on it at first . i just was a little dizzy and tired and nauseous . i thought i had the flu . and then i was late , so i took a test , and there it was , a big plus sign . i could n't believe my eyes . and was i thinking of you ? of course i was thinking of you . i was thinking a million things , you know ? i was trying t figure out if i could handle having a child at this point in my life . i mean , cole is a grown man . he has a child of his own . m a grandmother . i mean , it just started to seem a little bit ridiculous and terrifying . it was like , could i commit another 20 years to somebody ? because that 's what it takes . so i 'm sorry . i just needed a little time to figure out how i felt before i talked to you . john : so how do you feel ? are you keeping it ?

[ scene_break ] gigi : so , what did allison do ? roxy : like i said before , she took rex to the hospital , like you did with little sierra , and then she took him from me . gigi : that 's what you meant when you said that you had your baby ripped out of your arms . roxy : i did n't want to let him go , but he was so sick , and that was the only thing i could do to help him . gigi : so she got him help . roxy : yeah . gigi : hey , it 's okay . it all turned out all right . roxy : what ? gigi : yeah . rex was fine . your story 's got a happy ending . [ scene_break ] kim : where the hell is sierra rose ? [ scene_break ] oliver : wait . what 's this about schuyler joplin and drugs ? greg : look , i 'm not one to tell tales , but since it 's common knowledge -- oliver : what ? greg : schuyler was accused of stealing drugs from the hospital . apparently he forged the signature of a doctor that he was trailing . kyle : but the board cleared him . greg : no , the board was afraid of a lawsuit . the fact is , schuyler is an addict . and , yeah , yeah , he makes a lot of noise about being in recovery , whatever that means . oliver : wait . did you know this ? kyle : that 's not the point , okay ? the point is sierra deserves better . [ scene_break ] rachel : hey , cut it out ! schuyler ! rex ! what the hell is going on with you ? [ scene_break ] natalie : you did n't . clint : as a matter of fact , i did - just this morning . natalie : why ? clint : well , kimberly promised stacy morasco that she would look after her daughter , and as it stands , several people are competing for custody , and she thought that she would have a better shot with my support . natalie : so get her a lawyer or -- do n't marry her ! clint : i happen to like the woman . she 's easy on the eyes , we enjoy each other 's company , and oddly enough , we have fun together . natalie : she 's using you ! clint : and vice versa . we both know what we signed up for . natalie : you knew about this ? viki : mm - hmm . natalie : and you did n't stop him ? clint : your mother respects my judgment . natalie : your judgment ? the only thing you are thinking with is your -- viki : natalie ! natalie : i ca n't believe that you would let him do this . she 's going to make a fool of him . clint : i realize that in your eyes , your old dad is not much of a catch , but -- natalie : but you are a catch , dad . and i ca n't believe you would throw it all away with that -- viki : okay , natalie , that 's it . natalie : this is crazy . and how you ca n't see this , i -- viki : look , your father ... he was very clear about why he chose to marry kim , okay ? believe me ; he went into this with his eyes wide open . natalie : and he knows that she 's only with him for his money , but that 's okay with him because she 's easy on the eyes ? and i 'm just so supposed to be happy about this ? clint : i knew this would -- how you feel about it . that 's why i did n't invite you to our little ceremony . but i hope that you will find it in your heart to give kimberly a chance . natalie : a chance ? a chance to what ? to rob you blind ? to humiliate you ? yeah , dad , i 'm on board with that . this is absolute crazy , and she will ruin you . [ scene_break ] [ door opens ] gigi : sierra 's not here . kim : how dumb do you think i am ? roxy : on a scale of 1 to 10 ? 11 . kim : at least i 'm not a zero . i took a trip down to the hospital to check up on sierra , but her crib was empty . i thought she died or something . i almost gave myself a heart attack . roxy : we should be so lucky . kim : and then the nurse told me that she 'd been released , to you . how 'd you manage to pull that one off , huh ? gigi : it 's called a court order . kim : well , i want to see her . gigi : well , you 're going to have to talk to schuyler . his lawyer had the decision reversed . sierra went home with her father . [ scene_break ] oliver : so then was schuyler ever arrested ? greg : of course not . the hospital did n't want the publicity . and since no one was willing to come forward , he got off . oliver : well , i mean , it 's not possible that he was falsely accused ? greg : oh , just because you ca n't prove something does n't mean that it 's not true . look , schuyler is a menace . i pray for his daughter . by the way , you and he will be doing rotations with me next week . kyle : i 'm looking forward to it . greg : i 'd steer clear of schuyler if i were you . i plan on making his life a living hell .

[ marty sighs ] marty : i 'm not trying to put this on you . but ... we have n't made any kind of major commitment to one another , and having a child together -- it does n't get any more major than that . and -- oh , god -- i never even thought i 'd have a chance to -- i do n't know . i -- the more i try to figure it out ... i come up with all these reasons not to . but when i stop thinking -- oh , my god , i 'm so happy . i just feel so blessed , and it is crazy how fast you fall in love .

[ scene_break ] rachel : i have to check on the baby . do i have to separate you two , or can you play nice ? [ rachel sighs ] schuyler : you need to leave now and never come back . rex : oh , i 'll be back -- with gigi after she kicks your butt in court . and then we 're going to take her niece home for good . and that will be the last time you ever see me .

[ scene_break ] [ kim sighs ] kim : thanks . clint : well , how 'd it go with sierra ? kim : it did n't . gigi did n't have her . somehow , schuyler convinced some judge to let him take her . i do n't know . clint : what judge , do you know ? kim : no , she did n't say . clint : that 's okay . i can find out . now , i do n't want you to worry . because this is just the first volley . once the smoke clears , sierra rose will be coming home with us . kim : okay .

'cause you 're going to be my wife . and he has to learn to accept that . so maybe ethan should just -- just distance himself from now on . that 's what you want , right ? for ethan to stay out of your life ?

'cause you 're going to be my wife . and he has to learn to accept that . so maybe ethan should just -- just distance himself from now on . that 's what you want , right ? for ethan to stay out of your life ?

[ scene_break ] julian : you know , fox , i was quite proud of you when you devised this little plan to keep kay in line . but i tell you , if we do not find kay and miguel at once , it could all be for naught . because if she learns the truth , she will give you up for miguel . and you will be a failure . and that 's unacceptable in this family . fox : thank you , father . i 'm well aware of the consequences of failure in this family . i read grandfather alistair 's will . julian : ahh , touché . fox : i wo n't lose kay . i 've got a small army of security guards searching this entire town for her . if miguel 's with her , may god help him . i will not let her tell miguel what -- what she saw , or what she thought she saw . i wo n't have her find out that i hired impersonators to act out as miguel and charity . that 's not going to happen . julian : well , i hope not . but that is n't our only problem . we still have the problem -- well , your annoying health problem . i mean , you 're supposed to be dying . i suppose we could always come up with a fake cure for your fake disease . it should be simple enough . we 'll just tell kay that we 've discovered some researcher somewhere in europe , or some other faraway place . he 's doing cutting - edge experimental work on your -- your condition . you go there for a couple of months . and you return , miraculously cured . fox : no , no . that will never work . miguel , he -- he wo n't let that go . he 'll keep -- he 'll keep looking into it . julian : i did n't just fall off the turnip truck . i 'll pay off a clinic , or perhaps you can build a new facility in gratitude . we ca n't wait too long for this . because if kay keeps thinking you 're about to pop off , she may prepare herself for losing you and not attach to you emotionally the way she should . and then , you know what happens ? those old feelings for miguel will resurface . and we 'll be right back where we started . ivy : how dare you . how dare both of you ! you , lying to me , and letting me think my son is dying ? and you , you , to win kay bennett , you would stab your own mother in the heart ?

anjelica : adrienne , this has nothing to do with the past . this is all about the present . jenn : what does that mean ? anjelica : well , that means that i 'm calling in the loan . your loan . immediately . adrienne : [ sighs ] [ suspenseful music ] kayla : a sex tape ? is there nothing that you wo n't stoop to ? jade : i was trying to help a friend . kayla : help a friend ? and a sex tape helps a friend how ? do you have any idea what kind of damage this sort of thing can do to somebody ? jade : we were having a private conversation -- kayla : and what ? and what ? nothing excuses what you have just done to your supposed friends . jade : really ? so nothing can excuse my making a sex tape , but joey murdering a woman in cold blood is a - okay with you ? kayla : this is not the time or the place to discuss that , jade . joey : mom , mom . let 's go talk over here , okay ? kayla : joey ... joey , this situation with jade is getting worse and worse . and more and more frightening , that she would just spout off about ava right here . joey : look , she 's never said anything about it to anybody . and she never will . kayla : really ? joey , she is a loose cannon , not to mention that she does n't seem to know the difference between right and wrong . joey : mom , it 's not like that . kayla : is n't it ? every time i turn around , there is jade . she is just desperate for your attention , and it is not healthy for her or for you . it 's not what you want . you know that . and what happens when she knows that ? i am telling you right now that that girl is not someone who 's gon na go quietly into the dark . you have got to realize that she can turn on you at any minute . listen to me . she could ruin your life forever . joey : jade is not going to tell anyone . she promised me she would n't . and i believe her . kayla : why would you believe one word out of her mouth ? she is a pathological liar . joey : no , she 's not . look , i know she 's done some awful things , but jade is my friend , and right now , the person upsetting her is you , because she thinks you hate her . kayla : joey , i do n't hate her . i think that she is a very troubled girl . joey : i think she is too , but she 's not ever deliberately mean . so please , have enough faith in me to let me handle this on my own . kayla : joey , i have faith in you , i have faith in you , i just think that sometimes you can be a little naive . joey : okay , look , i respect your opinion , but jade is my problem , so i 'm the one who needs to deal with her . kayla : okay . okay , joey . joey : thank you .

that is exactly who you are . have you even thought about our employees , that you would be ruining their lives if you call this loan ? anjelica : again , this is just business . now , ladies , this is how the real world works . both : [ laugh ] adrienne : there is nothing real about you . in fact , you used a fake name and a fake corporation to try to take our paper away . you know what ?

eric : of course . what do you want to talk about ? claire : theo . hi . theo : hey , um , you 're on your break , right ? claire : uh , yeah . theo : okay , so , could we talk somewhere privately ? claire : sure . theo : um ... all right , claire , look . i 've been doing a lot of thinking , and ... i think that sometimes , when boyfriends and girlfriends are different , it can be a good thing -- claire : mm - hmm . theo : you know , it can make the relationship better . claire : yeah , i agree . i do , i think that it can make things really interesting , and open your eyes to stuff that you never really thought about . theo : well , what i was gon na say is that sometimes , when people are different , and do n't have a lot in common , when they 're together , it can be good , but , um ... also , it can be bad . claire : bad ? how ? theo : it can make people angry at each other . you know , it makes them , um , not a good match . like us . claire : are you breaking up with me ? theo : yeah . yeah , i am . claire : so that 's it ? we 're done ? what are you gon na do now , theo ? are you gon na call ciara ? tell her that we 're over , so that you two can hook up ? theo : look , this is n't about ciara , claire . this is about us . all right , and look , i do n't want to hurt you , it 's just that i do n't think this is gon na work between us . claire : okay . okay . fine , whatever . jade : where do i begin ? eric : wherever you 'd like . jade : okay . well ... i was trying to help my friend get her career kick - started with a sex tape . it 's all kinds of normal in hollywood . i read about it all the time in magazines . i mean , a lot of people get rich and famous just from making a sex tape . eric : did your friend consent to the taping ? jade : well ... no . but i really thought that when she saw it , she would be grateful . eric : but she ... jade : when she saw it , she was furious . i mean , you would have thought that i 'd stolen her boyfriend or something . eric : did it occur to you that you were violating someone 's privacy ? jade : no , it did n't . i just thought it was sex between two consenting adults , which you see all the time on the internet and on tv . i mean , have you ever seen that show , `` masters of sex `` ? eric : no . jade : and some of those scenes , they do just about everything . and in lots of other shows too , and in movies . you 'd think people would be used to it by now , right ? anyway , now everyone is super mad at me , including kayla . acting like i killed someone or something . eric : jade , i want you to put yourself in your friend 's shoes . how would that make you feel if someone did the same thing to you ? recorded you when you were having something very meaningful and private with someone else ? jade : i guess i might not be cool with it . but it would depend on why they did it . i mean , if they did it to help me like i did for claire , then ... look , the video never even went public . eric : well , it seems to me , in spite of whatever 's on the tv , or movies , or all over the internet , it 's a lot of graphic sex , which ... well , is sad . because the true meaning of what sex is something that is a very private and intimate expression of love between two people . jade : think i do n't know that ? eric : well , if you did , then why would you make the tape ? jade : okay , i get it . i 'm an idiot . and now , joey thinks i 'm a bad person , and all i want is for joey to love me like i love him . eric : jade , what i think you need to do right now is try to focus on yourself more than trying to put all your energy into making joey love you . it 's about you . feeling respect . feeling love . and loving yourself . jade : well , how do i do that ? eric : by trying to set goals . trying to figure out what you want in your life . what is it that makes you who you are , make you feel great about yourself , rather than needing the love of somebody else to make you feel okay ? jade : that sounds like it 'll be really hard to do . eric : it 's gon na be easier for you to find love , and you wo n't feel so needy , which is often what scares people away . jade : yeah , i do know that . i read a lot of dating blogs , so i know that `` needy `` is a dirty word . men like independent women . cool women who wo n't chase them . eric : do n't make it about what would attract a man . make it about you feeling better about yourself . what makes you feel stronger , clearer about what you really need . jade : well , you 've given me a lot to think about . thanks . would it be okay if i came back sometime to talk some more ? eric : yeah , of course . um ... this is my direct line . jade : thanks . i 'm really glad that i came here today . [ dramatic music ] anjelica : you know , i think there 's a little bit of confusion going on here . i made those transactions under an alias to avoid hurt feelings and misunderstandings . now , it was n't until your brother started snooping around that problems came up . adrienne : you know what ? problems came up when you decided to punish not only me for some imagined transgression from the distant past , but also jennifer , who decided to join me in this venture to honor jack . anjelica , please , `` the spectator `` was so important to him . please , for the love of jack , do not destroy his legacy . anjelica : jennifer , you know , i really appreciate what you were trying to do here . unfortunately , your sidekick knows nothing about journalism . she 's the one who 's destroying jack 's legacy by running the paper into the ground . adrienne : for god 's sakes , nobody 's running it into the -- anjelica : and then there 's the bad publicity from her abortive wedding to lucas horton last november . adrienne : how do you know about that ? anjelica : oh , it 's common knowledge . adrienne : no , it 's not . and i know alex does n't speak to you . oh , my god . have you been keeping tabs on me ? anjelica : oh , as if you were worth the trouble . no , no , no , no , i just heard it on the grapevine , as it were , that you kept lucas dangling for months after justin barged in on your wedding , and then you kept justin dangling . i mean , do you get some kind of sick thrill out of keeping these guys on a string , never telling either one of them how you really feel ? are you really that much of a narcissist ? jenn : do n't you dare go after her . if you knew what she had been through this past year , you -- anjelica : oh , what ? the breast cancer ? i know all about the breast cancer . you know , a lot of women in this country get breast cancer , and they do n't use it to engender pity to manipulate two good men into doing whatever they want . adrienne : you sick , twisted -- anjelica : ah ! adrienne : [ screams ] jenn : adrienne ! adrienne : let -- let go of me ! jenn : wait ! stop ! adrienne ! [ soft music ] nicole : um ... so i am , uh , done for the day . eric : already ? nicole : the databases are all up to date . i 've done everything i can for the party . i emailed you a summary of my planning and a pitch to garner more sponsors for the center . eric : thank you , but you have three more hours . nicole : which i will fulfill at the fundraiser . i just really need to go home . i 'll see you later . jenn : stop it ! adrienne : ah ! jenn : stop it ! both of you . adrienne : ah ... jenn : are you okay ? anjelica : is she okay ? this bitch attacked me in a public place . i should press charges . jenn : we are done with her . do you hear me ? we will worry about this loan and we 'll deal with it on our own , okay ? good - bye , anjelica . anjelica : yes , well , i 'm sure my attorneys have had time now to serve your office with notice about the loan , so you two ladies have three weeks to figure it out , or the paper is mine . adrienne : [ sighs ] i 'm sorry , jennifer . i 'm sorry ... god , i ca n't believe i let that woman get to me like that . you know something ? i kicked cancer to the curb . and i 'm gon na do the exact same thing to that woman , except twice as hard . [ laughs ] twice as hard . [ footsteps ] kayla : you okay ? claire : no . not really . kayla : how about if i just sit here for a little while ? i 'm guessing this has to do with what jade did . i heard about the video . claire : it was only a matter of time . kayla : claire , i 'm really sorry . but we do n't have to talk about it if you do n't want to . i am really concerned about joey , though . that he just maintains this friendship with her . claire : joey 's a really good person . kayla : but jade is n't . and she 's in love with someone who is not in love with her . and she refuses to see that . joey thinks that they can just be friends , and that eventually , she 'll be okay with it , but she wo n't . and i 'm really worried . claire : yeah . yeah , i think you 're right to be worried , aunt kayla . because that girl is like a total wrecking ball . jade : have you seen joey ? tripp : uh , he just left . jade : did he say where he was going ? i really need to talk to him . tripp : jade , you 're my roommate , so i feel like i can give you some unsolicited advice . do n't chase after a guy . you know , it 'll come across as desperate . joey 'll think you 're obsessed . jade : do you think i 'm obsessed ? tripp : the truth ? yeah , i do . jade : okay , well , you just do n't know the history that i have with joey . we always end up back together eventually . and we 're in friend mode right now , and it sucks , because i 'm in love with him , but ... and it 's really not helping that his mother hates me . tripp : well , speaking of your favorite mom . i 've got some good news . i was able to change the medication notes on the chart of one of her patients that died . jade : wow . i 'm seriously impressed . tripp : it 's only a matter of time before someone realizes how negligent dr . johnson really is , and that her patients are dying because of her . before we know it , kayla 's gon na get what she deserves . jade : good riddance . is anybody else getting the fact that the -- | theo confided in abe about claire keeping the letter from him . abe tried to make excuses for her , but theo did n't want to accept what she did . jade tried to make things right with claire , but she did n't want to hear it . she did n't want to be friends with jade anymore and threw her out of her apartment . nicole gave eric the cold shoulder at the horton center . she ended up telling him that she lost holly . eric tried to make her feel better , but she did n't want to talk about it anymore . she did n't want to talk to him besides to talk about work . tripp followed kayla around the hospital again . she was upset that she lost another patient . kayla had to get some air . tripp noticed the file that the nurse put on the desk . jennifer and adrienne were talking about anjelica taking the paper from them when she showed up . anjelica went up to them and put them on notice about getting revenge . jade talked to joey about the sex tape . kayla overheard the conversation and they got into an argument about it . joey had to calm kayla down . joey defended jade to kayla . | <s>[INST] theo : claire had no right to keep this letter from me . she completely lied to me , dad . abe : i know . i know , son . please , sit . look , i know how much it hurt you , but she did ultimately give you that letter . theo : yeah , after months of not telling me about it . you know , and she 's upset with me because i did n't believe she had nothing to do with that sex tape ? but you know , who could believe a liar , dad , about anything ? abe : i know you have trouble dealing with people who are unpredictable . theo : yeah , well , that is claire , completely and totally unpredictable . abe : can you deal with it ? you say you love her . theo : no , i do , i do , it 's just ... i 'm starting to feel like i do n't even know her . i mean , dad , how can i love someone i do n't even know ? claire : no . no . jade : claire , we need to talk , please ? claire : no , i said no . jade : claire , come on . just listen to me . look , there is no reason for you to still be mad at me . i 've said that i 'm sorry . claire : are you serious ? you filmed me and theo having sex without our consent . do you have any idea how violated we feel ? jade : i never meant to hurt you , why ca n't you see that ? claire : my grandmother , a cop , and theo 's dad , who is the mayor , saw that video . jade : and that was a big mistake , it never should have happened , but it 's over , right ? and i mean , the video never went viral , so what 's the big deal ? claire : [ sighs ] the big deal , the big humongous deal , is that you did whatever you wanted after i said no . jade : but i never even -- claire : no , jade . you made your choice , and right now , i 'm making mine . i want nothing to do with you , ever . kayla : hey , tripp . i did n't know you were coming in today . tripp : i had some time on my hands and wanted to talk to you . kayla : sure . what about ? tripp : i had such a great time with you the other day doing rounds , and i started thinking maybe about doing the mcats . kayla : really ? well , i 'll set you up with one of the residents here and you can talk to them about ... [ beeping ] oh . someone 's coding . i got to go , all right ? i 'll talk to you later , all right ? tripp : yeah , yeah . definitely . kayla : thank you . thank you very much . [ beeping ] eric : i know you 're here to fulfill your court - ordered community service . and this is very upsetting to you , you ... having to work for me . i know you wish that it could have been otherwise , as i wish it ... did n't have to be this way either because i know this is very hard for you , and i just hope that we can just find a way to work -- nicole : okay , you know what ? this is n't about you , you jerk . i just lost holly . jenn : anjelica deveraux ? adrienne : mm - hmm . jenn : i can not believe that jack 's stepmother wants to take `` the spectator `` from us . adrienne : yeah , you know the woman hates me , right ? jenn : but you have n't heard from her in years . adrienne : does n't matter . she has never gotten over the fact that justin chose me over her . and now , in her sick , twisted mind , it 's my fault , of course , that her own son alexander wants nothing to do with her . jenn : that is ridiculous . adrienne : well , ridiculous or not , the woman is hell - bent on revenge . and she 's decided the only way to get that is by taking `` the spectator `` away from us . face it , jennifer , anjelica has the means to destroy our dream , and obviously she 's determined to do just that . eric : you lost holly ? what do you mean ? nicole : chloe had finally given me my daughter . i thought all was right in the world . i 'd finally gotten my daughter back . eric : and now ? did chloe change her mind ? nicole : no , it 's ... nothing chloe did . she was ready to sign holly over to me . she had made up her mind that holly belongs with me , her mother , and then a judge intervened , and he ... he put holly in foster care for two months . eric : two months ? and after that ? nicole : the case will be revisited . eric : i 'm so sorry , nicole . i ... that 's crazy . nicole : yeah . so are a lot of things . eric : you know what , i bet justin , he 's gon na be able to convince the judge to give back holly to you after that . nicole : he will . and i 'm gon na prove to the judge and to everyone that i am a responsible person , capable of raising my daughter with love . eric : you are all of that . two months is gon na go by fast , i promise . nicole : like hell it will ! it 's gon na feel like an eternity . tripp : hey , what happened ? is everything okay now ? kayla : unfortunately , no . i lost the patient . mr. sherman , you remember him from the other day ? tripp : yeah , yeah . i met him . emphysema , right ? kayla : complicated with pneumonia . tripp : i 'm really sorry , kayla . kayla : i think i need to get some fresh air . would you like to join me ? tripp : thanks , but i got to get going . kayla : okay . i understand . [ suspenseful music ] jade : never is a long time , claire , and i know you . you 're a good person -- claire : no , you do n't know a damn thing about me , jade , 'cause if you did , you would have already accepted what i 've said and you would have left . oh , wait . that 's right . you do n't listen to people . you do whatever you want . jade : i was only trying to help you because you were losing followers . claire : okay , well , i did not ask for your help . and because you did n't listen to me , people got hurt . jade : i did n't mean to hurt you , claire . how many times do i have to say it ? look , i do n't have many friends . especially girlfriends . i only have people who use me . claire : well , yeah , that 's because you use them too , jade . and if you do n't use them , you lie to them , or you do these terrible things behind their back , like do you think this is a game ? because it 's not . this is my life . and this is theo 's life . jade : okay . you 're right . about everything . i guess i 'm just still learning how to be a good friend . claire : okay , well i am so done being your little test case . i 've paid way too high of a price already . jade : claire , come on . there 's got to be something i can do to fix this . claire : oh , god . jade : please , i know if we just try , we can work this out -- claire : shut up . shut up and get out right now . go ! [ dramatic music ] like eternity , two months without your daughter . stupid thing to say , i 'm ... i 'm sorry . nicole : can we just get to work ? eric : well , you know what ? you do n't have to work today . you 're upset . nicole : i 'm fine . eric : just want you to know , if there 's anything i can do -- nicole : you can stop talking about my daughter , or anything that 's not work- related . eric : got it . nicole : i do n't want to talk about my life , okay ? i only told you about holly to get you to shut up about how hard it is for me to be working with you okay ? i do n't like it , obviously . but it 's the least of my problems right now . eric : of course . i understand . [ dramatic music ] nicole : look , i appreciate you trying to make our working relationship not feel so awkward , but no matter how hard you try , it feels awkward , okay ? it 's just awkward . and i think the best way to handle moving forward from here is to not talk about anything other than work . no small talk , and nothing personal . eric : i got it . [ dramatic music ] jade : joey , did you not see my sos text ? joey : it 's been a busy morning , i ca n't answer my phone during the breakfast rush . jade : okay , well , breakfast is over and i need to talk to you . joey : look , i 'm still working , so ... jade : i ca n't believe what just happened . i mean , i apologized to claire for , like , the millionth time , and she just turns around and throws everything back in my face . joey : jade , you made a sex tape of claire and theo . that 's kind of hard to forgive . all right , you 're lucky no one pressed charges . jade : lucky ? how am i lucky ? claire 's treating me like i 'm some kind of common criminal when all i did was make a harmless sex tape of her and theo that hardly anybody even saw . kayla : what ? adrienne : now , if steve can dig some dirt up on her -- jenn : yeah , well , i hope he does it soon before she calls in the loan on the printing equipment . adrienne : jennifer , if she does that , we 're screwed . jenn : yeah , we are . because we do n't have the money to fend her off . adrienne : you know , justin offered to bail us out , but i do n't want to pull him into this . jenn : yeah , i understand that . but i 'm sure my brother offered the same thing . adrienne : yeah , he 's been incredibly supportive , but you know what ? jennifer , `` the spectator `` is yours and mine . i really just want to keep it that way . anjelica : adrienne . jennifer . long time , no see . anjelica : ladies , let me guess : you were just talking about me . adrienne : anjelica , yes , we were just saying how much we missed you , how much it would brighten our lives immeasurably if you would pop back into salem , and with serendipity , you appeared right at that moment . jenn : mm , love when that happens . adrienne : me too . anjelica : oh , and i love that you two have n't lost your senses of humor . adrienne : okay . here 's what 's not funny : your pathetic need for revenge after all these years . i mean , come on , anjelica , have you never heard of forgiveness ? that it 's good for the soul ? that you can live longer and be happier if you 're not vindictive and evil , mired in spite and malice , spewing venom ? jenn : yes , have you never heard the quote that forgiveness is the virtue of the brave ? anjelica : god , ladies , we have n't seen each other in years , and you 're already dragging out the vapid bartlett 's quotes ? adrienne : okay , seriously , can you please just be civilized for once in your life , and just leave the past in the past ? anjelica : adrienne , this has nothing to do with the past . this is all about the present . jenn : what does that mean ? anjelica : well , that means that i 'm calling in the loan . your loan . immediately . adrienne : [ sighs ] [ suspenseful music ] kayla : a sex tape ? is there nothing that you wo n't stoop to ? jade : i was trying to help a friend . kayla : help a friend ? and a sex tape helps a friend how ? do you have any idea what kind of damage this sort of thing can do to somebody ? jade : we were having a private conversation -- kayla : and what ? and what ? nothing excuses what you have just done to your supposed friends . jade : really ? so nothing can excuse my making a sex tape , but joey murdering a woman in cold blood is a - okay with you ? kayla : this is not the time or the place to discuss that , jade . joey : mom , mom . let 's go talk over here , okay ? kayla : joey ... joey , this situation with jade is getting worse and worse . and more and more frightening , that she would just spout off about ava right here . joey : look , she 's never said anything about it to anybody . and she never will . kayla : really ? joey , she is a loose cannon , not to mention that she does n't seem to know the difference between right and wrong . joey : mom , it 's not like that . kayla : is n't it ? every time i turn around , there is jade . she is just desperate for your attention , and it is not healthy for her or for you . it 's not what you want . you know that . and what happens when she knows that ? i am telling you right now that that girl is not someone who 's gon na go quietly into the dark . you have got to realize that she can turn on you at any minute . listen to me . she could ruin your life forever . joey : jade is not going to tell anyone . she promised me she would n't . and i believe her . kayla : why would you believe one word out of her mouth ? she is a pathological liar . joey : no , she 's not . look , i know she 's done some awful things , but jade is my friend , and right now , the person upsetting her is you , because she thinks you hate her . kayla : joey , i do n't hate her . i think that she is a very troubled girl . joey : i think she is too , but she 's not ever deliberately mean . so please , have enough faith in me to let me handle this on my own . kayla : joey , i have faith in you , i have faith in you , i just think that sometimes you can be a little naive . joey : okay , look , i respect your opinion , but jade is my problem , so i 'm the one who needs to deal with her . kayla : okay . okay , joey . joey : thank you . [ dramatic music ] jade : that woman does n't know when to stop . joey : that woman is my mom . jade : and clearly , she 's trying to turn you against me . thank god it did n't work . i mean , you just proved that . you get me , joey . you totally get me . joey : jade , i ... jade : please , can you just let me finish ? you 're the only person who 's shown any understanding at all . the only one who gets that what i did with that video , it was n't meant to be a bad thing . my god , it was not that big of a deal . joey : i never said it was n't that big of a deal . you stole a hotel key , broke into a room , set up a video camera , filmed two of your friends having sex , all without their consent . jade : i only did it to help claire . she was losing followers by the minute . this video , it would have shot her to the top -- joey : top ? top of the what ? certainly not the music charts . which is what she wanted . sure did n't help theo . jade : i did n't post it , joey . i handed the only copy over to claire -- joey : look , that does n't make it right , okay ? and maybe that 's the bigger problem : you do these things that are hurtful and stupid , then you think people are ganging up on you when they call you on it . jade : people are doing more than calling me on it , joey . they 're attacking me . they 're treating me like i 'm some kind of lowlife , like i 'm some worthless , disgusting person . why are you looking at me like that ? joey : maybe you should talk to someone , jade . jade : that 's what i 'm doing right now , i 'm talking to you . joey : no , i mean , like , to a professional . jade : is that what you want me to do ? will that make you respect me ? joey : i think you should do it , jade . jade : okay , then i 'll do it . for you . [ soft music ] nicole : stop it ! please . eric : never seemed to bother you when we worked together at the rectory . i did n't know it bothered you . nicole : yeah , the tap , tap , tap , tap , tapping ? yeah . it bothers me , okay ? can you please just put the pen down ? [ phone ringing ] eric : hello . hey , mom . she does ? really ? julie ... oh , my god . of course , that 's amazing . i mean , that 's ... at the martin house . that 's such a godsend . are you kidding me ? of course . absolutely , we 'll be able to find new sponsors for the horton center , yes . mom , thank you . [ sighs ] so , i think you should know . nicole : what ? is there a problem ? eric : yes , with the horton center funding , there is . you know , given our current deficit , you know , we may not be able to remain open at the end of the fiscal year . nicole : oh , no . that 's awful . eric : no , i think we may have found a solution . we 're gon na spread awareness of the center at the martin house party . nicole : oh , so you mean you 're gon na launch a campaign at a party ? eric : yes , that 's what i mean . nicole : well , that 's all well and done , and a drop in the bucket . you know , you just need to dig deeper , cast a wider net . there 's lots of different ways you could jumpstart a fundraiser and get some more money . i 'll make some calls . eric : may i help you ? jade : i do n't know . i need to talk to a counselor or someone . is this the right place ? eric : yes , it is . i 'm the counselor on duty . i 'm free to talk if you want to talk now . jenn : you ca n't do that . anjelica : well , i can , and i will . jenn : have you even thought about how jack would react to you doing this ? anjelica : invoking jack 's name here is not gon na slow the wheels of progress . and besides , jack would be the first to understand why i 'm calling in the loan . jenn : [ laughs ] anjelica : no , no , this is business , ladies . it 's not personal . adrienne : oh ! oh , the hell it is n't ! anjelica , this is all about you and how much you hate me . you hate me because of justin , and you hate me even more now because of alexander . anjelica : you know , my son is no concern of yours . adrienne : oh ... anjelica : and besides , i do n't hate anyone , adrienne . that is not who i am . jenn : not who you are ? that is exactly who you are . have you even thought about our employees , that you would be ruining their lives if you call this loan ? anjelica : again , this is just business . now , ladies , this is how the real world works . both : [ laugh ] adrienne : there is nothing real about you . in fact , you used a fake name and a fake corporation to try to take our paper away . you know what ? anjelica , be warned . you 're looking for a fight , and you 're gon na get one . and you 're going down in flames . tripp : okay , okay , okay . security code . uh ... kayla , steve , joey ... let 's start with brother 's birthday . bingo . okay . mr. sherman , let 's look at your chart , shall we ? yeah . just gon na up your dosage . morphine , 10 % over the limit . and ... save . oh , this is tragic . dr. johnson has made a very fatal mistake . kayla : ah , tripp . you 're still here . tripp : uh , yeah , i got tied up on a call , and now i 'm late . are you okay ? kayla : yeah , yeah , i 'm okay . but is it all right if we have that talk at a later time ? the one about the mcats . tripp : right , right . yeah , no problem . kayla : yeah , great . tripp : i got to go . kayla : okay . jade : you 're eric brady . joey 's cousin , right ? eric : yes . how do you know joey ? jade : i 'm jade . his ex . eric : i 'm sorry . it 's nice to finally meet you . jade : yeah , you too . i 'm actually only here because of joey . i made him a promise , and i 'm trying to be a better person by following through . so ... can we talk ? eric : of course . what do you want to talk about ? claire : theo . hi . theo : hey , um , you 're on your break , right ? claire : uh , yeah . theo : okay , so , could we talk somewhere privately ? claire : sure . theo : um ... all right , claire , look . i 've been doing a lot of thinking , and ... i think that sometimes , when boyfriends and girlfriends are different , it can be a good thing -- claire : mm - hmm . theo : you know , it can make the relationship better . claire : yeah , i agree . i do , i think that it can make things really interesting , and open your eyes to stuff that you never really thought about . theo : well , what i was gon na say is that sometimes , when people are different , and do n't have a lot in common , when they 're together , it can be good , but , um ... also , it can be bad . claire : bad ? how ? theo : it can make people angry at each other . you know , it makes them , um , not a good match . like us . claire : are you breaking up with me ? theo : yeah . yeah , i am . claire : so that 's it ? we 're done ? what are you gon na do now , theo ? are you gon na call ciara ? tell her that we 're over , so that you two can hook up ? theo : look , this is n't about ciara , claire . this is about us . all right , and look , i do n't want to hurt you , it 's just that i do n't think this is gon na work between us . claire : okay . okay . fine , whatever . jade : where do i begin ? eric : wherever you 'd like . jade : okay . well ... i was trying to help my friend get her career kick - started with a sex tape . it 's all kinds of normal in hollywood . i read about it all the time in magazines . i mean , a lot of people get rich and famous just from making a sex tape . eric : did your friend consent to the taping ? jade : well ... no . but i really thought that when she saw it , she would be grateful . eric : but she ... jade : when she saw it , she was furious . i mean , you would have thought that i 'd stolen her boyfriend or something . eric : did it occur to you that you were violating someone 's privacy ? jade : no , it did n't . i just thought it was sex between two consenting adults , which you see all the time on the internet and on tv . i mean , have you ever seen that show , `` masters of sex `` ? eric : no . jade : and some of those scenes , they do just about everything . and in lots of other shows too , and in movies . you 'd think people would be used to it by now , right ? anyway , now everyone is super mad at me , including kayla . acting like i killed someone or something . eric : jade , i want you to put yourself in your friend 's shoes . how would that make you feel if someone did the same thing to you ? recorded you when you were having something very meaningful and private with someone else ? jade : i guess i might not be cool with it . but it would depend on why they did it . i mean , if they did it to help me like i did for claire , then ... look , the video never even went public . eric : well , it seems to me , in spite of whatever 's on the tv , or movies , or all over the internet , it 's a lot of graphic sex , which ... well , is sad . because the true meaning of what sex is something that is a very private and intimate expression of love between two people . jade : think i do n't know that ? eric : well , if you did , then why would you make the tape ? jade : okay , i get it . i 'm an idiot . and now , joey thinks i 'm a bad person , and all i want is for joey to love me like i love him . eric : jade , what i think you need to do right now is try to focus on yourself more than trying to put all your energy into making joey love you . it 's about you . feeling respect . feeling love . and loving yourself . jade : well , how do i do that ? eric : by trying to set goals . trying to figure out what you want in your life . what is it that makes you who you are , make you feel great about yourself , rather than needing the love of somebody else to make you feel okay ?

neil : jack . i got here as fast as possible . jack : yeah , thanks for coming by so quickly . neil : you sounded upset . what 's going on ? i mean , is everything okay with -- with phyllis , or ... ? jack : why would you ask that ? neil : after what she went through -- jack : oh , the -- the whole hostage thing . yeah , that ... it was hard on her . stirred up a lot of old emotions about victor , things she 's been struggling with . neil : yeah . little overwhelming , huh ? jack : so much so she took a room upstairs . neil : she moved out ? jack : she said she needed some time alone . neil : wow . i 'm sorry to hear that , jack . jack : well , thank you . that 's not why i called you here . uh , i 've been doing some thinking . um ... there are some things i want to change at the foundation , and i want to run them by you first . neil : really ? what -- what kind of things ? jack : i think it 's time we let go of hilary . devon : hey . hilary : you 're still here . devon : where else would i be ? hilary : [ sighs ] god . devon : hey , take it easy . hilary : why am i so weak ? dr. neville : so . how is my patient today ? devon : well , she 's alive , no thanks to the damn drugs you 've been giving her . what exactly do you plan to do about this , doctor ? [ knock on door ] lily : it 's the manager . you called ? is there an issue with the room ? [ knock on door ] lily : hello ? something that , uh , requires ... my assistance ? cane : yeah , um ... i require your assistance . lily : oh . do you , uh , have a problem ? cane : why , as a matter of fact , i do have a problem . it 's a , uh , huge problem . and it 's gon na need a lot of your personal attention . sharon : wow . i told you it would be beautiful up here . dylan : yeah . nice idea . sharon : once the sky 's clear , we could come up here for a post - picnic drink and have a nice nightcap to our night . dylan : mm . you know , uh , with my workload lately , i would have been more than happy to stay home with you and the kids . and that 's usually where you want to be . why were you so bent on getting out of the house ? sharon : well [ sighs ] you know i really love our family time , but i love time alone with my husband , too . and how often do we ever go out ? dylan : never . hey , abby . hi . how you doing ? abby : hi . um ... dylan , sharon , um ... hey , i 'm -- i 'm good . good . sharon : i 'm -- i was sorry to hear about max . abby : thank you . um , he has a long way to go , but ben and i are staying positive . dylan : yeah , i guess it 's probably been pretty intense since , uh , max 's operation , and you and stitch coming back to town and trying to get back to normal . abby : you talked to ben , did n't you ? dylan : i know that he is struggling with what 's happened , and that he 's closing himself off to you . sharon : abby , it 's the situation . it has nothing to do with you . abby : i feel like it has everything to do with me . ashley : hey . was n't expecting to see you , but i 'm so glad we ran into each other . stitch : actually , i was just , uh -- ashley : how are you doing with everything ? stitch : max is looking a little bit better , and i think this new facility will be good for him . he 'll be home before we know it . ashley : that 's fantastic . i -- you know , i spoke to abby . stitch : yeah , you know -- you know what , ashley , i 've got some more rounds i 've got to make . ashley : she said that you 've been really upset . and that you 've been ... really distant . stitch : she 's got it all wrong . i 'm just processing things . ashley : processing . come on . you do n't have to put on an act with me . stitch : it 's just not the best time to get into this , you know ? i 've got a couple things i need to wrap up , so -- ashley : no , no , no , no , no . not until you tell me what 's really going on with you . ashley : are you aware that abby thinks that you 're blaming her for what happened to max ? stitch : okay , that 's not true . ashley : well , that 's what i told her . i told her that in spite of how painful all this is , i mean , dealing with max 's condition , that you love her just as much as you always have . stitch : she should n't be dumping this on you . ashley : of course she should . i 'm her mother . it 's part of my job . stitch : yeah , well , um , what else did you tell her ? ashley : i told her that she needs to have faith in her marriage , and that the two of you will work it out together . was i wrong to say that to her ? stitch : i do n't blame abby . i blame myself . i feel so damn guilty . ashley : why ? ben , what happened with max was not your fault . stitch : i 'm the one who signed off on the surgery . ashley : that was to make it better for him , to save his life . stitch : yeah , and it has n't helped . look , i can intellectualize this all i want . tell myself it was the right thing to do . but this is my kid we 're talking about . ashley : you have to give it more time . i mean , the therapist just started working with him . stitch : there are no guarantees the treatment will work . and that -- that terrifies me . ashley : why are n't you talking to abby like this ? stitch : abby 's my wife . she 's not my shrink . i do n't want to unload this on her and drag her into this black hole with me . ashley : you 're shutting her out of your life . stitch : it 's a burden . okay ? i 'm supposed to -- i 'm supposed to take care of her . ashley : you 're supposed to be taking care of each other , ben . that 's what you 're supposed to be doing . she wants to face this with you . stitch : okay . what do i do ? ashley : well , you know what you have to do . you have to go talk to your wife . tell her that you 're gon na work on this together and get through it . dylan : look , stitch is n't actively trying to shut you out . he 's just having a really hard time coming to terms with what happened . abby : he keeps saying that he does n't blame me , but -- dylan : okay , then he does n't . abby : [ sighs ] dylan : what , you do n't believe him ? abby : he wo n't even talk to me . i - i practically begged him to open up , to tell me whatever he was feeling , that we could work through it , and he -- he just wo n't do it . and every day , the distance between us -- dylan : okay , but you ca n't give up on him . you got to make him answer questions about max and the hospital . go with him whether he wants you to or not . abby : so you 're telling me i should be pushy ? dylan : you got to get him to talk . no hiding out from each other . sharon and i , we have , uh -- we have no secrets . we make it a point to put everything out in the open . abby : everything ? dylan : yeah . it 's not always easy , but you can not have a strong marriage if you 're not honest with each other . lily : what 's , uh -- what 's all this about ? i mean , not that i 'm complaining . but are you feeling neglected ? cane : no . i 'm feeling lucky . lily : we are lucky ... especially when you think about what devon 's going through , trying to keep -- cane : who is in this room ? lily : us . cane : and what are we ? lily : getting luckier ? cane : now you 're talking . come here . lily : well , you , mr. ashby , are looking very , very sexy . cane : yes . so are you , mrs. ashby . lily : what ? cane : i do n't want you to come over here for a quickie . lily : okay , but i thought the point of all of this was -- cane : no . the point of this ... is that i want to make love to you . lily : always . neil : hey . you 're gon na fire hilary ? jack : that 's right . neil : you 've always been a big advocate of hilary 's . what changed ? jack : neil , she crossed the line . she kissed me . look , for a long time now , despite all the warnings , i had believed that hilary was only pursuing a friendship with me . this kiss throws everything into a completely different light . it is possible i inadvertently encouraged her affection by being too sympathetic , too understanding . i do n't know . neil : kissed ? jack : yet i was completely oblivious . and the thing that bothers me now is ... she 's playing me . she 's using this illness , making it seem worse than it is , to get my sympathy . neil : uh , well , if that 's what she 's -- jack : that is exactly what 's happening , and it 's gon na stop right now . when we set up this foundation , our mission was to help people who were sick , people who needed our help . neil : i know . jack : i need to stay focused on that , not on hilary , who 's using us and faking her illness . neil : okay . jack , i mean , look , i 'm not one to defend hilary , but in this case , i feel like i have to . jack : because she 's holding something over your head ? no . that does n't -- neil : hilary is not pretending here . i just came from the hospital . she 's not improving . it 's possible that ... she might not recover from this . dr. neville : hilary was responding well . i have the bloodwork to back that up . devon : obviously , the bloodwork was wrong , or else she would n't be here right now , would she ? dr. neville : it 's just some side effect . if i adjust the medication ... hilary : no . i 'm not gon na let you play fast and loose with my life . dr. neville : i 'm not playing anything . please . you have to allow me to adjust the protocol . hilary : just get out ! devon : neville , you heard her . ashley : i came to see how hilary was doing , but i can tell this is not a good time . devon : no , it sure is n't , actually . ashley : neville ? i think it 's better if we go . let her rest . dr. neville : i do n't know what happened in there , but whatever it was , i am counting on you to work your magic again . you 've got to get through to her . you 've got to convince her to allow me to continue the treatment . i 'm not doing one more damn thing for you till you answer some questions . dr. neville : what ? i do n't -- ashley : that woman 's life is in your hands , neville . now , you tell me the truth about what 's happening to her before this spins even more out of cane : mnh - mnh . you do n't have to do that . come here . stay with me . stay with me . lily : no , trust me . no , i want to . i really , really do . but i have actual guests downstairs who need my actual attention . cane : okay . all right . well , i 'll , uh -- i 'll see you when i get home tonight , okay ? lily : why do n't you come down with me ? cane : and just watch you work ? no . i do n't want to do that . lily : no , no . have a bite to eat , you know , and then we can steal kisses at every opportunity . cane : oh , yeah ? lily : yeah . cane : sounds tempting . lily : and then , when i 'm done with work , we can come back up here and we can really take our time . cane : i like the way you think , mrs. ashby . no , i love the way you think . lily : and i love you . no , no , no , no , no . no , no , no . later . later . later . stitch : hey . abby : hi . stitch : i got your text you 'd be here . abby : i 'm so glad that you came . hi . stitch : hi . abby : do you want to get dinner , or ... ? stitch : i could use a drink first . join us ? sharon : oh , would n't you two rather ... ? abby : no . um , no . that 's -- that 's great . yeah . we can do a whole double - date thing . dylan : all right . all right . let 's get a drink . stitch : sure . hey , thanks , man . dylan : yeah . i mean , you 're off to a good start . you know , you showed up , reaching out to her . stitch : yeah . i 'm trying . dylan : well , she -- she wants to be there for you . stitch : yeah ? and why did she practically beg you and sharon to stick around ? dylan : uh , the same reason you did -- because you do n't know how to start the conversation , okay ? so we 're gon na have a drink or two , and you can have a heart - to - heart with your wife . stitch : did you and ashley decide to tag - team it today , or is it just coincidence i 'm getting the same words of wisdom from the both of you ? dylan : well , if the people who care about you the most are telling you the same thing , you might want to listen . stitch : oh . well , i must be so lucky that i 'm surrounded by all these people that are experts in my relationship . it 's just not that easy , okay ? dylan : i know it 's not that easy . i know it 's difficult to talk about things that hurt , okay ? but keeping it inside -- you 're delaying the inevitable . what you 're feeling is gon na come out some way , somehow . stitch : you speaking from experience ? dylan : unfortunately . and you trust abby , right ? stitch : with my life . dylan : you got to tell her you 're scared . stitch : [ scoffs ] all right . i suppose i can , maybe , you know , after dinner , dessert ... a few drinks . abby : i do n't know if dylan 's right about trying to force a conversation with ben . sharon : might be worth a try . abby : i did try , yesterday , and he basically told me that work is the only thing that helps , and then he just walked away . but then tonight ... i mean , he did leave the hospital to come see me . sharon : so , you think pushing him now might backfire ? abby : i 'm just afraid if i do n't handle it the right way , if i pressure him , then the gap between us will grow even wider . sharon : then i agree with you . do n't do it . leave it alone . abby : this coming from a woman in a marriage where everything is up front -- no secrets ? sharon : some things are better off left unmentioned . jack : wait . how is that possible ? i spoke to dr. neville . i saw hilary 's test results . they said she was doing much better . neil : okay , jack . i ca n't explain it . but i was with devon when hilary collapsed . i was at the hospital when i heard the prognosis . jack : oh , i feel terrible that i did not believe her . neil : why ? why would you feel terrible ? you have every reason in the world to doubt her . she 's told a lot of lies . she 's used blackmail to get exactly what she wants . jack , i would love nothing more than to have this woman removed from the foundation . do you know how much easier my life would be if she were gone ? but i 'm telling you , firing hilary at this point -- that could be bad business . it 's a wrong move . ashley : how is it possible that your lab results are showing that hilary 's making a remarkable recovery when , in fact , she 's suffering from a severe decline ? dr. neville : the bloodwork was accurate , okay ? it was not the result of shoddy procedure or some suicidal lab tech swapping out slides . ashley : that 's good to know . so , explain to me her horrible state , please . dr. neville : some kind of ... delayed reaction . i do n't know . it 's the only possible explanation . ashley : actually , it 's not . dr. neville : so , you -- you think i lied ? oh , yeah . rather than face another setback , you 're assuming that i would just adjust her test results and , on top of it , that i would tell you and her and the fda that there was improvement when there was n't ? neil : jack , despite what phyllis said , i think you should run by her room . maybe you can try to work on making your marriage work out . jack : that may take some time , neil . neil : you got to start somewhere . jack : i 'll take all that to heart . listen , in the meantime , we will take firing hilary off the table ? neil : despite the kiss ? jack : well , we 'll have to work through that issue on our own , but this does n't seem the right time , right ? neil : yeah . probably for the best . jack : yeah . we 'll touch base later , all right ? neil ... neil : okay . jack : ... thank you . neil : yeah , jack . remember , you and me -- we 're in it together . lily : did i really just hear you convince jack to keep hilary on the foundation ? if he wants to get rid of her , let him . good riddance . neil : wait . there 's more to it than that . lily : no . how could it be wrong for hilary to be knocked down a notch ? have you forgotten that she 's evil and trying to take your son for all he 's worth ? neil : lily , she 's sick . lily : oh , my god . what is it with you men and her ? it 's like she has you all under a spell . neil : i 'm well aware of what hilary is capable of . but in this case , you 're wrong . she 's in trouble . cane : are you saying the treatment is n't working ? neil : apparently not . and what 's even more disturbing ... i do n't think neville knows how to fix it . dr. neville : the fact that you could accuse me of this , after everything that we 've been through -- ashley : please just be honest with me . dr. neville : i am being honest with you . i did not , nor would i ever , falsify a test result -- indicate improvement if there was none . i swear it . you 've got to believe me . ashley : i really want to believe you , neville . dr. neville : you 've got to . look , if i 've done anything underhanded in the past , it was for the sake of my patients . if i am guilty of anything in this situation , it 's of having a little too much hope . i saw improvement , and i latched on to it [ sighs ] because the only thing i want , more than anything , is to save hilary . ashley : okay . so , were you aware that there were any ... debilitating side effects ? dr. neville : there 's always a chance of an adverse reaction . you know that . you 're a chemist , a scientist . ashley : instead of waiting to see if there were , in fact , some glitches in your process , you called the fda . you told them that your new and so- called ... improved medication was a success . dr. neville : as far as i knew , it was a success . ashley : but you did n't know -- did you -- 'cause you could n't ? you rushed the study so you could get approval and move forward , using your brand - new test on those trial patients . dr. neville : in retrospect , i - i admit i may have been a little too optimistic . ashley : at the very least , you are extremely careless -- and not just with your patients . i put my entire reputation on the line for you . and now we are no better off than we were when i first covered your ass . devon : honey , try and relax . hilary : how am i supposed to do that , hmm ? devon : i can , uh ... order some chinese for you from that place you like . hilary : here in genoa city ? devon : no , in chinatown . hilary : in new york ? devon : yeah . i 'll have a messenger take a private jet and have it for a midnight snack . i know how much you like those chow fun noodles i had there . hilary : that was -- that was a really fun night . i 'm surprised you remember that . devon : i remember everything about that trip . hilary : well , thanks , but ... i think i 'll pass . okay ? just go . you do n't have to be stuck here with me , and you definitely do n't have to take care of me . devon : you 're still my wife . and , more importantly , you 're still the woman that i vowed to love for the rest of my life . so since you need me -- hilary : i do n't need you . devon : you need me . i 'm not gon na let you go through all this alone . [ laughter ] dylan : we should do this more often -- get out and have some fun , man . sharon : oh , finally -- he admits that my dragging him out was a good idea ! dylan : it was an excellent idea . after all , we 're all still newlyweds . stitch : that 's right . abby : yeah . i forget that you guys were married within a month of us . dylan : that 's right . sharon : you two looked so amazing at your wedding . dylan : well ... stitch : yeah . i do n't know about me . [ laughter ] you looked so beautiful , though , i could n't stop smiling . abby : i remember . stitch : yeah . one of the best moments of our lives , babe . abby : uh ... [ laughs ] stitch : what ? dylan : what ? abby : just thinking about this wedding video that someone sent me today . stitch : yeah ? what about ? abby : this girl -- she was dancing in a red dress . there was a pole . dylan : there was a pole ? abby : [ laughs ] stitch : i guess i 'll have to find the link and send it to you later . sharon : you know , that reminds me -- i was gon na post this funny thing that sully does all the time . you know how boys can be . you know , i - i - i did n't even think . um ... stitch : it 's all right . sharon : i - i was just ... telling you a funny story about our son . sharon : um , after abby 's miscarriage and everything with max , i - i should have , um -- i should have been more sensitive . dylan : not at all . i 'm sure stitch and abby did n't take offense . abby : of course we did n't . stitch : we understand , sharon . abby : yeah , and , besides , you should n't have to stop talking about your kids around us . we want to hear about your family . we want to know that they 're doing well . sharon : well , thanks for that . speaking of family , we have -- dylan : yeah , we should -- we should head home . sharon : yeah . dylan : i 'm sure you could use some time alone . abby : good night . stitch : all right . sharon : thanks . stitch : hey , thanks . dylan : yeah . no problem . talk to her . stitch : i will . dylan : thanks . sharon : thank you . dylan : come on . stitch : [ sighs ] neil : you know , um , i have to do an interview for the foundation , but i plan to run by the hospital later . do you want to meet me there ? lily : uh , no . i have no interest in doing that . neil : for your brother 's sake . cane : you know what ? i think the three of us in the same room 's just gon na guarantee a scene , and hilary does n't need any more stress . maybe we should -- we should n't go . lily : okay , look -- i 'm not happy that hilary is ill . i would n't wish that on anyone . but her condition does n't erase all the horrible things that she 's done . i 'm not gon na hang out at the hospital , pretending like we 're all friends . neil : you know , your brother 's gon na be there , too . he has n't left since she arrived . lily : okay . well , that 's just part of our plan to keep hilary from getting his money , right ? neil : well , no . wait . it 's not that simple . this whole crisis has stirred up a lot of things . lily : oh , my god . do not tell me that he 's falling in love with her again . neil : i 'm gon na tell you that your brother needs support . lily : i will support my brother , but i will not support him standing by a woman who 's just used him and thrown him away . jack : hey . i just heard about hilary . how is she ? ashley : uh , she 's stable , but it 's pretty rough . jack : you stood behind neville 's test results . you said she was faking it . ashley : she was , jack . jack : well , based on that , i accused her of lying and walked out on her . now she 's in the hospital ? ashley : i 'm sorry . i really am . the lab results -- look , i was wrong . jack : you know what ? there 's enough guilt to go around these days . the important thing is making things right . hilary : even after everything i put you through , you still want to stay ? devon : our marriage falling apart is n't one - sided . and i want to be here for you . hilary : devon ... devon : i do n't expect anything in return except -- hilary : except what ? devon : except you do your best to get better . hilary : what if i ca n't ? what if i do n't make it out of this hospital ? [ sighs ] i 'm really scared . [ door opens ] jack : hey , i 'm sorry to interrupt . i just want to talk to hilary . i am so sorry i did n't believe you . you have no idea how much i regret that . hilary : thank you ... for coming and telling me that , jack . but i understand why you said the things that you said . you were a victim of dr. neville 's lies , just like i was . that man can not be trusted . i am starting to think that he deliberately tried to kill me . ashley : okay . with all due respect , that is kind of a ridiculous accusation , do n't you think ? hilary : is it ? maybe he wanted revenge from me blackmailing him . he had to have known that there were serious side effects , but he pumped those drugs into my system , and he never warned me . ashley : okay , but , you know , he 's not a person that goes around trying to hurt other people . he 's dedicated himself to saving lives . he saved yours before , hilary . he wants to save it again . devon : he 's been gambling with hilary 's life , and that 's why she 's here right now , paying for his mistakes , okay ? i 'm having a new doctor come and oversee things . ashley : i could understand why you feel this way , but in spite of everything , i still believe that neville 's protocol is your best bet . devon : ashley , i do n't want simon neville anywhere near hilary , and if you 're as smart as i know you are , you will stop defending the guy and you 'll cut ties before he drags you down dr. neville : take another . ashley : make that two , please . dr. neville : how 'd you find me ? ashley : deductive reasoning . dr. neville : i 'm unfamiliar with whatever that is . ashley : well , you 're easy to find . you should know that about yourself -- you 're easy to find . dr. neville : a more pertinent question is , `` why did you find me ? `` i mean , why bother ? i got the distinct feeling you were thoroughly done with me . and understandably so . everything you said was justified -- my passion for the work , my arrogance , my desperation for a cure . they all conspired to cloud my judgment , but i never meant to be reckless with hilary 's life . [ sighs ] if only ... ashley : if only what ? dr. neville : if only she 'd let me finish the job ... she 'd let me continue to treat her . right now , even as we speak , i 'm sure that she and devon are seeking the treatment of another specialist . ashley : yeah . you 're pretty much right on the target with that one . and hilary also went so far as to say she thought maybe you were trying to kill her . dr. neville : i would never -- ashley : and i reminded them of that . dr. neville : [ chuckles ] did n't help , did it ? well , to be honest , i ca n't say i blame her . if i was in her position , god knows what would be going through my head right now . no , i betrayed her trust . i jeopardized everything we worked on in the drug trial . i should probably resign . worst of all ... you 've lost faith in me . ashley : not entirely . cane : hey . permission to approach . lily : yes . you are safe . my dad and devon -- not so much . i just -- i had to walk away . i could n't stand there and listen to him say how devon was running to hilary 's side . cane : but she 's sick . lily : look , i know i 've joked about hilary dying , and , obviously , i want her to make a full recovery . i 'm just hoping that devon stays far away when that happens . cane : well , having been in devon 's shoes , i do n't think that 's possible . lily : it 's not the same . cane : do you realize it was about seven years ago today that you were diagnosed with ovarian cancer ? lily : yes , but you and i -- cane : we were estranged , and i was on my way out of town . lily : and you did n't go , thank god . cane : no . lily : you fought for me and for us . cane : and every second of the day , you 're all i thought about . and i prayed you 'd get better , 'cause i knew if i lost you , i 'd have nothing . and now i think devon 's fearful that 's gon na happen to the woman he loves . jack : devon , hilary is young and strong . she 's gon na get through this . devon : i appreciate you coming to check on her . jack : hey , look , i 'm happy to do anything i can to help . hilary 's a very important part of my life . devon : jack , i can take care of my wife , okay ? i think you should focus on taking care of yours . dylan : all is well with the kids . sharon : i ca n't believe i put my foot in my mouth right when things were going so well . dylan : all right . you beat yourself up the whole way home . i now give you permission to let it go . sharon : but things were going so well . dylan : oh , stitch and abby are probably already over it . think about -- think about the good you did tonight . sharon : they did seem to be reconnecting . dylan : yeah , and now they 're alone , and maybe they 'll have a real talk and start working on their problems . sharon : you 're such a good man -- always helping and watching out for other people . i do n't deserve you . dylan : are you kidding me ? i mean , you 're the one who makes it easy for me to go out and be a good cop and ... know that i have you to come home to . sharon ? sharon : i have an idea . may i have this dance ? [ laughs ] abby : it turned out to be a really beautiful night . stitch : yeah . yeah , yeah . it 's perfect out , right ? abby : ben ... there 's something i need to say dr. neville : i would think you 'd be happy to wash your hands of me . ashley : nope . you 're not finished with me yet , neville . mnh . whew ! you ca n't walk away from your patients , especially not hilary . there are no other physicians on this planet that know the ins and outs of her case like you do , so you have to keep treating her . dr. neville : she does n't want anything to do with me . ashley : i know . dr. neville : you just said she thinks i 'm trying to end her life . ashley : and you have to change her mind , and you have to convince her that she needs your help , because i honestly believe that you are the only one that can save her . devon : i thought this might help . hilary : ohh . yes . that is exactly what i needed . devon : okay . how , uh -- how do you like the new doctor ? hilary : he 's okay , i guess . talks a good game . devon : i 'm sure you 're probably tired . i 'll leave -- stop bugging you . hilary : you 're not bugging me . i 'm -- i 'm glad that you 're here . devon : we 're gon na get through this , hilary -- together . stitch : i think i know what you 're gon na say . abby : i just -- i wanted to tell you how much i 've enjoyed tonight . stitch : oh . really ? abby : yeah . i miss this . stitch : oh , my god . me too . abby : [ sighs ] singer : i do n't think you 're understanding when i tell you that my love for you 's much deeper than you know i think this world has played its tricks on you , kid 'cause i 'd never leave you out there in the cold please , oh , please listen closely when i say i 'll never leave you here alone believe me when , when i tell you that your heart is where where i 've made my home where i 've made my home [ next_on ] chloe : this is a big day for us , dee dee . it 's a big , big day . dylan : if you have any desire to save your son , now is the time . michael : adam is taking the plea . | at the hospital , ashley tells ben that abby thinks he blames her for max being sick . ben tells her that he does n't blame abby ; he blames himself . dylan and sharon talk to abby about what is going on between her and ben and ben possibly blaming her for max . dylan advises abby that she and ben need to talk . dylan goes on to tell abby that he and sharon do n't have any secrets . in a hotel room at the athletic club , cane has prepared a romantic evening for himself and lily . downstairs in the dining room , neil talks to jack about hilary and him possibly firing her from the foundation . jack tells neil that he blames himself for possibly leading hilary on . neil tells jack that hilary is sick and may not recover . jack is surprised . in the hospital room , simon and devon argue over her treatment . hilary orders simon out . in the corridor , ashley demands answers from simon about the treatment he is using on hilary and if it was approved by the fda . ben joins abby , sharon , and dylan who share a fun evening . while dylan and ben are away at the bar . sharon tells abby that some things are better left unsaid . ashley asks simon about hilary 's test results showing that she was getting better but actually she was getting worse . ashley asks him if he had been telling her one thing and telling the fda something else . | <s>[INST] neil : jack . i got here as fast as possible . jack : yeah , thanks for coming by so quickly . neil : you sounded upset . what 's going on ? i mean , is everything okay with -- with phyllis , or ... ? jack : why would you ask that ? neil : after what she went through -- jack : oh , the -- the whole hostage thing . yeah , that ... it was hard on her . stirred up a lot of old emotions about victor , things she 's been struggling with . neil : yeah . little overwhelming , huh ? jack : so much so she took a room upstairs . neil : she moved out ? jack : she said she needed some time alone . neil : wow . i 'm sorry to hear that , jack . jack : well , thank you . that 's not why i called you here . uh , i 've been doing some thinking . um ... there are some things i want to change at the foundation , and i want to run them by you first . neil : really ? what -- what kind of things ? jack : i think it 's time we let go of hilary . devon : hey . hilary : you 're still here . devon : where else would i be ? hilary : [ sighs ] god . devon : hey , take it easy . hilary : why am i so weak ? dr. neville : so . how is my patient today ? devon : well , she 's alive , no thanks to the damn drugs you 've been giving her . what exactly do you plan to do about this , doctor ? [ knock on door ] lily : it 's the manager . you called ? is there an issue with the room ? [ knock on door ] lily : hello ? something that , uh , requires ... my assistance ? cane : yeah , um ... i require your assistance . lily : oh . do you , uh , have a problem ? cane : why , as a matter of fact , i do have a problem . it 's a , uh , huge problem . and it 's gon na need a lot of your personal attention . sharon : wow . i told you it would be beautiful up here . dylan : yeah . nice idea . sharon : once the sky 's clear , we could come up here for a post - picnic drink and have a nice nightcap to our night . dylan : mm . you know , uh , with my workload lately , i would have been more than happy to stay home with you and the kids . and that 's usually where you want to be . why were you so bent on getting out of the house ? sharon : well [ sighs ] you know i really love our family time , but i love time alone with my husband , too . and how often do we ever go out ? dylan : never . hey , abby . hi . how you doing ? abby : hi . um ... dylan , sharon , um ... hey , i 'm -- i 'm good . good . sharon : i 'm -- i was sorry to hear about max . abby : thank you . um , he has a long way to go , but ben and i are staying positive . dylan : yeah , i guess it 's probably been pretty intense since , uh , max 's operation , and you and stitch coming back to town and trying to get back to normal . abby : you talked to ben , did n't you ? dylan : i know that he is struggling with what 's happened , and that he 's closing himself off to you . sharon : abby , it 's the situation . it has nothing to do with you . abby : i feel like it has everything to do with me . ashley : hey . was n't expecting to see you , but i 'm so glad we ran into each other . stitch : actually , i was just , uh -- ashley : how are you doing with everything ? stitch : max is looking a little bit better , and i think this new facility will be good for him . he 'll be home before we know it . ashley : that 's fantastic . i -- you know , i spoke to abby . stitch : yeah , you know -- you know what , ashley , i 've got some more rounds i 've got to make . ashley : she said that you 've been really upset . and that you 've been ... really distant . stitch : she 's got it all wrong . i 'm just processing things . ashley : processing . come on . you do n't have to put on an act with me . stitch : it 's just not the best time to get into this , you know ? i 've got a couple things i need to wrap up , so -- ashley : no , no , no , no , no . not until you tell me what 's really going on with you . ashley : are you aware that abby thinks that you 're blaming her for what happened to max ? stitch : okay , that 's not true . ashley : well , that 's what i told her . i told her that in spite of how painful all this is , i mean , dealing with max 's condition , that you love her just as much as you always have . stitch : she should n't be dumping this on you . ashley : of course she should . i 'm her mother . it 's part of my job . stitch : yeah , well , um , what else did you tell her ? ashley : i told her that she needs to have faith in her marriage , and that the two of you will work it out together . was i wrong to say that to her ? stitch : i do n't blame abby . i blame myself . i feel so damn guilty . ashley : why ? ben , what happened with max was not your fault . stitch : i 'm the one who signed off on the surgery . ashley : that was to make it better for him , to save his life . stitch : yeah , and it has n't helped . look , i can intellectualize this all i want . tell myself it was the right thing to do . but this is my kid we 're talking about . ashley : you have to give it more time . i mean , the therapist just started working with him . stitch : there are no guarantees the treatment will work . and that -- that terrifies me . ashley : why are n't you talking to abby like this ? stitch : abby 's my wife . she 's not my shrink . i do n't want to unload this on her and drag her into this black hole with me . ashley : you 're shutting her out of your life . stitch : it 's a burden . okay ? i 'm supposed to -- i 'm supposed to take care of her . ashley : you 're supposed to be taking care of each other , ben . that 's what you 're supposed to be doing . she wants to face this with you . stitch : okay . what do i do ? ashley : well , you know what you have to do . you have to go talk to your wife . tell her that you 're gon na work on this together and get through it . dylan : look , stitch is n't actively trying to shut you out . he 's just having a really hard time coming to terms with what happened . abby : he keeps saying that he does n't blame me , but -- dylan : okay , then he does n't . abby : [ sighs ] dylan : what , you do n't believe him ? abby : he wo n't even talk to me . i - i practically begged him to open up , to tell me whatever he was feeling , that we could work through it , and he -- he just wo n't do it . and every day , the distance between us -- dylan : okay , but you ca n't give up on him . you got to make him answer questions about max and the hospital . go with him whether he wants you to or not . abby : so you 're telling me i should be pushy ? dylan : you got to get him to talk . no hiding out from each other . sharon and i , we have , uh -- we have no secrets . we make it a point to put everything out in the open . abby : everything ? dylan : yeah . it 's not always easy , but you can not have a strong marriage if you 're not honest with each other . lily : what 's , uh -- what 's all this about ? i mean , not that i 'm complaining . but are you feeling neglected ? cane : no . i 'm feeling lucky . lily : we are lucky ... especially when you think about what devon 's going through , trying to keep -- cane : who is in this room ? lily : us . cane : and what are we ? lily : getting luckier ? cane : now you 're talking . come here . lily : well , you , mr. ashby , are looking very , very sexy . cane : yes . so are you , mrs. ashby . lily : what ? cane : i do n't want you to come over here for a quickie . lily : okay , but i thought the point of all of this was -- cane : no . the point of this ... is that i want to make love to you . lily : always . neil : hey . you 're gon na fire hilary ? jack : that 's right . neil : you 've always been a big advocate of hilary 's . what changed ? jack : neil , she crossed the line . she kissed me . look , for a long time now , despite all the warnings , i had believed that hilary was only pursuing a friendship with me . this kiss throws everything into a completely different light . it is possible i inadvertently encouraged her affection by being too sympathetic , too understanding . i do n't know . neil : kissed ? jack : yet i was completely oblivious . and the thing that bothers me now is ... she 's playing me . she 's using this illness , making it seem worse than it is , to get my sympathy . neil : uh , well , if that 's what she 's -- jack : that is exactly what 's happening , and it 's gon na stop right now . when we set up this foundation , our mission was to help people who were sick , people who needed our help . neil : i know . jack : i need to stay focused on that , not on hilary , who 's using us and faking her illness . neil : okay . jack , i mean , look , i 'm not one to defend hilary , but in this case , i feel like i have to . jack : because she 's holding something over your head ? no . that does n't -- neil : hilary is not pretending here . i just came from the hospital . she 's not improving . it 's possible that ... she might not recover from this . dr. neville : hilary was responding well . i have the bloodwork to back that up . devon : obviously , the bloodwork was wrong , or else she would n't be here right now , would she ? dr. neville : it 's just some side effect . if i adjust the medication ... hilary : no . i 'm not gon na let you play fast and loose with my life . dr. neville : i 'm not playing anything . please . you have to allow me to adjust the protocol . hilary : just get out ! devon : neville , you heard her . ashley : i came to see how hilary was doing , but i can tell this is not a good time . devon : no , it sure is n't , actually . ashley : neville ? i think it 's better if we go . let her rest . dr. neville : i do n't know what happened in there , but whatever it was , i am counting on you to work your magic again . you 've got to get through to her . you 've got to convince her to allow me to continue the treatment . i 'm not doing one more damn thing for you till you answer some questions . dr. neville : what ? i do n't -- ashley : that woman 's life is in your hands , neville . now , you tell me the truth about what 's happening to her before this spins even more out of cane : mnh - mnh . you do n't have to do that . come here . stay with me . stay with me . lily : no , trust me . no , i want to . i really , really do . but i have actual guests downstairs who need my actual attention . cane : okay . all right . well , i 'll , uh -- i 'll see you when i get home tonight , okay ? lily : why do n't you come down with me ? cane : and just watch you work ? no . i do n't want to do that . lily : no , no . have a bite to eat , you know , and then we can steal kisses at every opportunity . cane : oh , yeah ? lily : yeah . cane : sounds tempting . lily : and then , when i 'm done with work , we can come back up here and we can really take our time . cane : i like the way you think , mrs. ashby . no , i love the way you think . lily : and i love you . no , no , no , no , no . no , no , no . later . later . later . stitch : hey . abby : hi . stitch : i got your text you 'd be here . abby : i 'm so glad that you came . hi . stitch : hi . abby : do you want to get dinner , or ... ? stitch : i could use a drink first . join us ? sharon : oh , would n't you two rather ... ? abby : no . um , no . that 's -- that 's great . yeah . we can do a whole double - date thing . dylan : all right . all right . let 's get a drink . stitch : sure . hey , thanks , man . dylan : yeah . i mean , you 're off to a good start . you know , you showed up , reaching out to her . stitch : yeah . i 'm trying . dylan : well , she -- she wants to be there for you . stitch : yeah ? and why did she practically beg you and sharon to stick around ? dylan : uh , the same reason you did -- because you do n't know how to start the conversation , okay ? so we 're gon na have a drink or two , and you can have a heart - to - heart with your wife . stitch : did you and ashley decide to tag - team it today , or is it just coincidence i 'm getting the same words of wisdom from the both of you ? dylan : well , if the people who care about you the most are telling you the same thing , you might want to listen . stitch : oh . well , i must be so lucky that i 'm surrounded by all these people that are experts in my relationship . it 's just not that easy , okay ? dylan : i know it 's not that easy . i know it 's difficult to talk about things that hurt , okay ? but keeping it inside -- you 're delaying the inevitable . what you 're feeling is gon na come out some way , somehow . stitch : you speaking from experience ? dylan : unfortunately . and you trust abby , right ? stitch : with my life . dylan : you got to tell her you 're scared . stitch : [ scoffs ] all right . i suppose i can , maybe , you know , after dinner , dessert ... a few drinks . abby : i do n't know if dylan 's right about trying to force a conversation with ben . sharon : might be worth a try . abby : i did try , yesterday , and he basically told me that work is the only thing that helps , and then he just walked away . but then tonight ... i mean , he did leave the hospital to come see me . sharon : so , you think pushing him now might backfire ? abby : i 'm just afraid if i do n't handle it the right way , if i pressure him , then the gap between us will grow even wider . sharon : then i agree with you . do n't do it . leave it alone . abby : this coming from a woman in a marriage where everything is up front -- no secrets ? sharon : some things are better off left unmentioned . jack : wait . how is that possible ? i spoke to dr. neville . i saw hilary 's test results . they said she was doing much better . neil : okay , jack . i ca n't explain it . but i was with devon when hilary collapsed . i was at the hospital when i heard the prognosis . jack : oh , i feel terrible that i did not believe her . neil : why ? why would you feel terrible ? you have every reason in the world to doubt her . she 's told a lot of lies . she 's used blackmail to get exactly what she wants . jack , i would love nothing more than to have this woman removed from the foundation . do you know how much easier my life would be if she were gone ? but i 'm telling you , firing hilary at this point -- that could be bad business . it 's a wrong move . ashley : how is it possible that your lab results are showing that hilary 's making a remarkable recovery when , in fact , she 's suffering from a severe decline ? dr. neville : the bloodwork was accurate , okay ? it was not the result of shoddy procedure or some suicidal lab tech swapping out slides . ashley : that 's good to know . so , explain to me her horrible state , please . dr. neville : some kind of ... delayed reaction . i do n't know . it 's the only possible explanation . ashley : actually , it 's not . dr. neville : so , you -- you think i lied ? oh , yeah . rather than face another setback , you 're assuming that i would just adjust her test results and , on top of it , that i would tell you and her and the fda that there was improvement when there was n't ? neil : jack , despite what phyllis said , i think you should run by her room . maybe you can try to work on making your marriage work out . jack : that may take some time , neil . neil : you got to start somewhere . jack : i 'll take all that to heart . listen , in the meantime , we will take firing hilary off the table ? neil : despite the kiss ? jack : well , we 'll have to work through that issue on our own , but this does n't seem the right time , right ? neil : yeah . probably for the best . jack : yeah . we 'll touch base later , all right ? neil ... neil : okay . jack : ... thank you . neil : yeah , jack . remember , you and me -- we 're in it together . lily : did i really just hear you convince jack to keep hilary on the foundation ? if he wants to get rid of her , let him . good riddance . neil : wait . there 's more to it than that . lily : no . how could it be wrong for hilary to be knocked down a notch ? have you forgotten that she 's evil and trying to take your son for all he 's worth ? neil : lily , she 's sick . lily : oh , my god . what is it with you men and her ? it 's like she has you all under a spell . neil : i 'm well aware of what hilary is capable of . but in this case , you 're wrong . she 's in trouble . cane : are you saying the treatment is n't working ? neil : apparently not . and what 's even more disturbing ... i do n't think neville knows how to fix it . dr. neville : the fact that you could accuse me of this , after everything that we 've been through -- ashley : please just be honest with me . dr. neville : i am being honest with you . i did not , nor would i ever , falsify a test result -- indicate improvement if there was none . i swear it . you 've got to believe me . ashley : i really want to believe you , neville . dr. neville : you 've got to . look , if i 've done anything underhanded in the past , it was for the sake of my patients . if i am guilty of anything in this situation , it 's of having a little too much hope . i saw improvement , and i latched on to it [ sighs ] because the only thing i want , more than anything , is to save hilary . ashley : okay . so , were you aware that there were any ... debilitating side effects ? dr. neville : there 's always a chance of an adverse reaction . you know that . you 're a chemist , a scientist . ashley : instead of waiting to see if there were , in fact , some glitches in your process , you called the fda . you told them that your new and so- called ... improved medication was a success . dr. neville : as far as i knew , it was a success . ashley : but you did n't know -- did you -- 'cause you could n't ? you rushed the study so you could get approval and move forward , using your brand - new test on those trial patients . dr. neville : in retrospect , i - i admit i may have been a little too optimistic . ashley : at the very least , you are extremely careless -- and not just with your patients . i put my entire reputation on the line for you . and now we are no better off than we were when i first covered your ass . devon : honey , try and relax . hilary : how am i supposed to do that , hmm ? devon : i can , uh ... order some chinese for you from that place you like . hilary : here in genoa city ? devon : no , in chinatown . hilary : in new york ? devon : yeah . i 'll have a messenger take a private jet and have it for a midnight snack . i know how much you like those chow fun noodles i had there . hilary : that was -- that was a really fun night . i 'm surprised you remember that . devon : i remember everything about that trip . hilary : well , thanks , but ... i think i 'll pass . okay ? just go . you do n't have to be stuck here with me , and you definitely do n't have to take care of me . devon : you 're still my wife . and , more importantly , you 're still the woman that i vowed to love for the rest of my life . so since you need me -- hilary : i do n't need you . devon : you need me . i 'm not gon na let you go through all this alone . [ laughter ] dylan : we should do this more often -- get out and have some fun , man . sharon : oh , finally -- he admits that my dragging him out was a good idea ! dylan : it was an excellent idea . after all , we 're all still newlyweds . stitch : that 's right . abby : yeah . i forget that you guys were married within a month of us . dylan : that 's right . sharon : you two looked so amazing at your wedding . dylan : well ... stitch : yeah . i do n't know about me .

[ sighs ] i 'm really scared . [ door opens ] jack : hey , i 'm sorry to interrupt . i just want to talk to hilary . i am so sorry i did n't believe you . you have no idea how much i regret that . hilary : thank you ... for coming and telling me that , jack . but i understand why you said the things that you said . you were a victim of dr. neville 's lies , just like i was . that man can not be trusted . i am starting to think that he deliberately tried to kill me . ashley : okay . with all due respect , that is kind of a ridiculous accusation , do n't you think ? hilary : is it ? maybe he wanted revenge from me blackmailing him . he had to have known that there were serious side effects , but he pumped those drugs into my system , and he never warned me . ashley : okay , but , you know , he 's not a person that goes around trying to hurt other people . he 's dedicated himself to saving lives . he saved yours before , hilary . he wants to save it again . devon : he 's been gambling with hilary 's life , and that 's why she 's here right now , paying for his mistakes , okay ? i 'm having a new doctor come and oversee things . ashley : i could understand why you feel this way , but in spite of everything , i still believe that neville 's protocol is your best bet . devon : ashley , i do n't want simon neville anywhere near hilary , and if you 're as smart as i know you are , you will stop defending the guy and you 'll cut ties before he drags you down dr. neville : take another . ashley : make that two , please . dr. neville : how 'd you find me ? ashley : deductive reasoning . dr. neville : i 'm unfamiliar with whatever that is . ashley : well , you 're easy to find . you should know that about yourself -- you 're easy to find . dr. neville : a more pertinent question is , `` why did you find me ? `` i mean , why bother ? i got the distinct feeling you were thoroughly done with me . and understandably so . everything you said was justified -- my passion for the work , my arrogance , my desperation for a cure . they all conspired to cloud my judgment , but i never meant to be reckless with hilary 's life . [ sighs ] if only ... ashley : if only what ? dr. neville : if only she 'd let me finish the job ... she 'd let me continue to treat her . right now , even as we speak , i 'm sure that she and devon are seeking the treatment of another specialist . ashley : yeah . you 're pretty much right on the target with that one . and hilary also went so far as to say she thought maybe you were trying to kill her . dr. neville : i would never -- ashley : and i reminded them of that . dr. neville : [ chuckles ] did n't help , did it ? well , to be honest , i ca n't say i blame her . if i was in her position , god knows what would be going through my head right now . no , i betrayed her trust . i jeopardized everything we worked on in the drug trial . i should probably resign . worst of all ... you 've lost faith in me . ashley : not entirely . cane : hey . permission to approach . lily : yes . you are safe . my dad and devon -- not so much . i just -- i had to walk away . i could n't stand there and listen to him say how devon was running to hilary 's side . cane : but she 's sick . lily : look , i know i 've joked about hilary dying , and , obviously , i want her to make a full recovery . i 'm just hoping that devon stays far away when that happens . cane : well , having been in devon 's shoes , i do n't think that 's possible . lily : it 's not the same . cane : do you realize it was about seven years ago today that you were diagnosed with ovarian cancer ? lily : yes , but you and i -- cane : we were estranged , and i was on my way out of town . lily : and you did n't go , thank god . cane : no . lily : you fought for me and for us . cane : and every second of the day , you 're all i thought about . and i prayed you 'd get better , 'cause i knew if i lost you , i 'd have nothing . and now i think devon 's fearful that 's gon na happen to the woman he loves . jack : devon , hilary is young and strong . she 's gon na get through this . devon : i appreciate you coming to check on her . jack : hey , look , i 'm happy to do anything i can to help . hilary 's a very important part of my life . devon : jack , i can take care of my wife , okay ? i think you should focus on taking care of yours . dylan : all is well with the kids . sharon : i ca n't believe i put my foot in my mouth right when things were going so well . dylan : all right . you beat yourself up the whole way home . i now give you permission to let it go . sharon : but things were going so well . dylan : oh , stitch and abby are probably already over it . think about -- think about the good you did tonight . sharon : they did seem to be reconnecting . dylan : yeah , and now they 're alone , and maybe they 'll have a real talk and start working on their problems . sharon : you 're such a good man -- always helping and watching out for other people . i do n't deserve you . dylan : are you kidding me ? i mean , you 're the one who makes it easy for me to go out and be a good cop and ... know that i have you to come home to . sharon ? sharon : i have an idea . may i have this dance ?

[ sighs ] happy birthday to you , too . mariah : thanks . nick : do you have big plans ? mariah : well , i 'm sure cassie always had a big birthday party , lots of presents , and family around , but for me , it was just like any other day . nick : you did n't celebrate your birthday growing up ? mariah : no . the only birthday we celebrated at the path was ian . god knows helen could n't be bothered . why mark the occasion when you got saddled with a kid you did n't even want ? nick : i 'm sorry . mariah : i do n't need your pity or anybody else 's . nick : it 's not pity , mariah . it 's compassion . and you need to learn the difference between the two . i just wish some things worked out differently for you . that 's all . mariah : well , there are a lot worse things . could have had a happy , loving family and watched it all fall apart . sharon : i appreciate you going to the cemetery with me earlier . noah : i just want to be there for you and cassie . sharon : even after all these years , it 's still hard to think of her missing out on her birthday , her whole life ahead of her . noah : yeah , i know . sharon : but i 'm grateful for the moments i had with her , every moment . and i 'm glad now that i 'm getting to make up for lost time with mariah . we 'll celebrate her birthday when she gets home from work later . noah : sounds good . sharon : we 'll just do something simple . i know that she would n't be comfortable with anything elaborate . and because i have a job interview . noah : i did n't know you were looking for a job . sharon : it 'll help in court , prove to the judge that i 'm leading a stable life now , that i can hold down a job and be a good mom to my kids . i hate to think of all the moments i will miss with faith if nick gets his way . noah : the mediation was that bad ? sharon : worse . we 're going to court . faith : mommy and daddy fight a lot . but i know they still love each other . and one of these days , they 're gon na get married . just like summer said ... all they need is a little push . kevin : so , does mariah do that a lot ? take off in the middle of a shift ? austin : once in a while . summer : oh , please . you are being way too nice . how many times have you had to cover for her ? austin : she 's been more reliable lately . kevin : hmm , she seemed upset earlier . i wonder if something happened with sharon . summer : why do you bother worrying about her ? okay , mariah cares about herself , and that 's pretty much it . kevin : that 's not true , summer . she 's not some cold - hearted person . you just do n't understand her . summer : and you do ? how well do you two know each other , exactly ? michael : dr. jain is a very prolific writer . i 've read a number of his articles on the benefits of the less aggressive approach . you know , his philosophy and mine , we are totally in sync . lauren : good . maybe now you can actually start treatment instead of just collecting opinions . michael : you sound like kevin . he thinks i 'm just trying to delay the inevitable by consulting doctors . [ door opens ] dr. jain : hello . i am dr. samir jain . michael : michael baldwin . my wife , lauren . lauren : how do you do ? dr. jain : very well , thank you . so , i understand you are looking for a second opinion ? michael : i would like to know the best way to beat this cancer without losing who i am along the way . noah : i thought that you wanted to share custody with dad , like before . sharon : i did . i still do . but my lawyer thinks i need to fight back . if i do n't take a strong stand , then there will be no fall - back position . noah : yeah , that makes sense . for a lawyer , i guess . sharon : i 'm really not comfortable with it , either , but david 's the expert . if nick and i are both going for full custody , there 's a better chance the judge will make us compromise . noah : i just hate that faith is the one caught in the middle of this . i remember what that feels like . sharon : i feel terrible about it . but what else can i do ? i 'm terrified of losing faith . faith : i made mariah a birthday card ! sharon : oh , wow ! how pretty . faith : i ca n't wait to give it to her . oh , yeah . and can we make a batch of cassie 's special cookies like we did last year and share them with mariah since it 's her birthday , too ? noah : that sounds great . sharon : i think mariah would love that . let me see if i have all the ingredients . faith : i 'll call daddy to come help . noah : uh , you know what , kiddo ? um , i think it 's just gon na be the three of us this year and mariah . faith : it does n't have to be . sharon : faith . faith : why ca n't daddy come ? sharon : we talked about this , sweetie . faith : daddy promised you 'd both still be there for important things . is n't cassie and mariah 's birthday important to you ? nick : i 'm not happy about having to go to trial . sharon 's lawyer is doing a ... a great job trying to make me out to be a terrible father , which , in turn , makes things more contentious between sharon and me , which is n't great for faith . mariah : i wonder what cassie would have thought of all this . nick : cassie hated it when we fought . she always felt like it was her job to resolve the conflict . sharon : i know how much you want everything to be okay . unfortunately ... your father and i ... nick : we 're having some problems . cassie : you mean between you ? you 're fighting ? sharon : no , but we 're , uh , disagreeing . cassie : about what ? maybe i can help you decide what 's right . nick : well , it 's kind of one of those things where we 're ... both right and we 're both wrong . cassie : if you know that , then why do n't you both be half - wrong ? then you 'll be even . nick : cassie was a peacemaker . she was wise beyond her years . mariah : that 's another area where she and i are different . everybody 's always asking me when i 'm gon na grow up , start acting like an adult instead of a punk kid . nick : i do n't think you ever had a chance to be a kid . mariah : more compassion ? nick : am i wrong ? mariah : i had dreams like all the other kids . i always imagined that there was something better out there . turns out , there was . just ... not for me . kevin : mariah and i are friends . we both had tough childhoods , and we understand each other . and what you see as attitude is mariah just putting up walls to protect herself . and this whole , new life of hers , it 's , uh , it 's really foreign to her , and it 's a big adjustment . summer : today is cassie 's birthday . austin : so it 's mariah 's birthday . that 's why she does n't want to be here . kevin : [ sighs ] i 'm gon na go find her , make sure she 's okay . austin : you know , kevin made some good points . summer : you grew up without a dad , and you still managed to be a kind , decent person . austin : well , the decent part 's kind of up for debate . i 'm on probation for -- summer : you are a decent person who made a mistake . that 's it . austin : yeah , well , i think deep down , where it counts , mariah 's decent , too . summer : why are you always defending her ? austin : i 'm not . why are you always upset when her name comes up ? summer : because her name always seems to come up ! austin : okay . i 've got work to do . nikki : you said that you came to this party to gather information , when all along , the truth is that you had a vested interest . victor : we 'll discuss this later . you got that ? nikki : i would apologize on victor 's behalf , but there 's really no point . he has a long history of underhanded behavior , and that 's not gon na end any time soon . victor : let me just say this . you do n't quite understand what 's happening here . dylan : i understand that i 'm losing my business . victor : dylan , there are larger considerations than your coffeehouse . just remember that . jill : boy , it sounds like you have a mess on your hands . victor : your ignorance is only surpassed by your lousy timing . dylan : [ sighs ] jill : victor . listen to me . your chancellor division is tanking . come on . is n't it time to spin it off before you drive katherine 's legacy into the ground ? victor : it 'll be a cold day in hell before i hand anything over to you . just remember that . have a good day . paul : so , how did you find out that victor was behind the holding company ? dylan : it was kevin . paul : kevin ? i told him to keep it legal . dylan : yeah , well , as far as i know , he did . he 's the one who found the information about gerolamo limited . paul : and that 's the company that owns the land ? dylan : yes . and it turns out gerolamo emiliani is the patron saint of orphans . paul : and i 'm the roman catholic . dylan : yeah , the answer was right under our noses the whole time for anybody who 's aware of victor 's history . not that knowing any of this information is gon na save crimson lights , because obviously victor does n't care who he 's hurting , and he has enough power to make sure that this deal happens . paul : well , yeah . that explains why the mayor and the historical landmark commission refused to help . dylan : and i 'm sure joe 's delighted to be working with such a well - connected seller . it 'll give him an excuse to stick around town . and avery . avery : so it looks like you and victor had your stories straight . the deal 's just business ? joe : it is . avery : yeah . and it also allows you to conveniently stick it to my fiancé . you know , victor found the perfect partner . joe : avery -- avery : you 're actually a lot alike . do you know that ? you both think you can have what you want for the right price . well , you 're wrong , joe . and you will never get me back . joe : look , i heard you . now you hear me . okay , this is a good deal . this will highly benefit genoa city , and that 's why victor and i have been working on this so diligently . avery : no , it 's a good deal for you and your rich cronies . dylan and the other small - business owners , they 'll have to close up shop ! joe : well , like you said , he 's not walking away empty - handed . he still has you . cane : why is victor so adamant about selling this land when he knows how unpopular it 's going to be ? lily : when has victor ever cared what people thought ? cane : well , he cares what nikki thinks . well , he should , at least that way he 'll know how she 'll react . colin : maybe that 's why he 's kept it under wraps . lily : you know what ? half the town is up in arms outside . we should make sure the police can keep them away from the property . cane : good idea . come on . colin : [ sighs ] i , uh , saw you over there sticking it to the old vic . jill : mm - hmm . colin : you enjoy yourself ? jill : yes . immensely . colin : am i to assume that , uh , the palace coup is a go ? jill : i got to tell you , victor is obviously in dire financial straits if he 's willing to risk his marriage to get his hands on a little cash . this might be the perfect opportunity to make a play for chancellor . colin : you know he 's not gon na give it up without a fight . jill : bring it on . [ both chuckle ] michael : what are your thoughts on treatment options ? dr. jain : well , having gone over all of your scans , your blood work , and your biopsy report , my recommendation is that we pursue a course of radiation and hormone therapy . michael : that 's what the other doctors said . dr. jain : it is the standard of care in cases like yours . michael : i came here believing that you had a less aggressive treatment orientation . i read your articles . dr. jain : in which i was addressing patients with slow - growing tumors at a much earlier stage of disease . ultimately , my job is to best treat the patient in front of me , and you are in stage 3 , mr. baldwin , which means the cancer is spreading . conventional treatment would be best . and the sooner , the better . lauren : i 'm so relieved to hear you say that , doctor . michael : i 'm not . my goal is to get through this treatment as the same person . as the ... as the same man i am today . and that would not be possible given the side effects of hormone and radiation therapy . dr. jain : you are welcome to get another opinion , but i believe that any reputable oncologist will tell you the same thing . michael : we 'll see about that . lauren : what ? michael . michael ! sorry . sharon : wow . that 's looking good . [ door opens ] faith : they smell so good . daddy ! nick : hey , pumpkin . i ran into mariah at the cemetery and offered her a ride home . faith : do you want to help ? nick : um ... you know what ? i ca n't stay . faith : you have to . we 're making birthday cookies . mariah : you guys did n't have to go to the trouble . faith : they 're not hard . i help make them every year . they were cassie 's favorite . mariah : well , then i did n't mean to interrupt the party . you guys have fun , okay ? sharon : wait . mariah , the cookies are for you , too . mariah : sharon , it 's okay . you do n't have to try to make me feel better . nick : it 's your birthday , too . noah : we should all celebrate . faith : stay , daddy . please . nick : well , i guess i 'm not going anywhere , especially since there 's cookies involved ! [ both laugh ] nick : how many can i eat ? honestly . pick a number . faith : um ... austin : um , what happened to all the customers ? summer : i took care of their tabs and told them that they had to go because we are closing for a private party . austin : nick did n't tell me about a private party . he booked something without ... summer : nope . this was all me . i thought we ought to go skiing . austin : right now ? seriously ? summer : mm - hmm . austin : [ chuckles ] okay , what 's this ? summer : well , when i go skiing , i usually spend most of my time at the lodge in front of the fire , so i thought we ought to do that ... right here . austin : you brought a ski trip to me ? summer : mm - hmm . you know , we need to get some more time for ourselves . alone time . austin : god , i love you . summer : i love you , too . come here . nick : you got more flour on you than you do in the bowl , dude . noah : compared to the mess that cassie used to make , i 'm an amateur . [ laughter ] sharon : okay , so your sister was n't that great at baking , but she was very creative . she liked to draw and write poetry . nick : do you remember the time she decided to redecorate dad 's birthday cake without telling anyone ? noah : now , that was hilarious . no , mariah , you should hear the story . it 's funny . faith : me , too ! what was so funny ? sharon : well , cassie found a tube of colored icing and drew a horse on victor 's cake . noah : a big , purple horse between the roses and the curlicues and stuff . nick : yeah . dad loved horses so much , she thought it 'd be a great idea . i think she was probably like 9 or 10 ? sharon : yeah . that sounds right . noah : grandpa was so surprised . sharon : we all were , especially nikki . she spent a fortune on that cake . nick : yeah . so , it 's dessert time . their cook rolls out the cart . the cake 's there . it 's lit , candles , everything , and dad looks at it and goes , `` well , look at that . cassie drew a picture of skippy . `` faith : skippy ? nick : [ laughs ] faith : that 's a weird name for a horse . noah : he was n't the horse . skippy was his dog . [ laughter ] sharon : oh , the poor thing . i remember how her face just fell . [ knock on door ] mariah : uh , i 'll get it . nick : how 's this looking ? faith : good . i just want to eat it all . it smells so good . nick : we 're getting close . faith : m & ms and everything . mariah : kevin . kevin : i came by to wish you happy birthday . i did n't get a chance to at underground since you left without saying anything . mariah : i , um , i had someplace to be . kevin : i can see that . am i interrupting ? mariah : no , no . please come in . kevin : hi , guys . noah : hey , kev . nick : hey , what 's up , man ? faith : hi ! kevin : making a cake ? faith : nope . cookies for cassie and mariah 's birthday . kevin : oh . nick : you should try them . they 're better than anything we ever used to make at crimson lights . kevin : speaking of , are you ready to have your minds blown ? so , you know that , uh , you know that whole land deal where those guys are gon na come in and tear down the whole warehouse district , including the coffeehouse ? nick : yeah . what about it ? kevin : well , i did some research online for dylan . guess who owns all that land ? i 'll give you one clue . it 's your father . sharon : victor ? kevin : uh - huh . nick : you are kidding me . kevin : nope . noah : i believe it . sharon : you know what ? so do i . it 's typical victor . hurting people for profit . and i 'm sure there 's an extra added bonus in it for destroying a place that means something to me . nick : do you know if my mom knows yet ? kevin : if nikki does n't know yet , she will soon . avery and dylan were headed over to the club to confront him and joe clark . paul : all right . thanks for the update . lily : paul , the protestors outside are making it hard for our guests to come and go . cane : i tried to talk to your officer about crowd control , but he needs to hear from a higher - up . paul : all right . um , i 'm on it . cane : thanks . lily : excuse me . dylan : at least the protestors are up - front about their agenda . unlike some people . avery : okay , we should go . we did what we came to do , and now everybody knows the truth about this development deal . dylan : too bad they do n't know about the middle man here and how he set up a fake meeting to get you into his hotel room . you saw that she was happy and you tried to wreck that . joe : no , not me . you 're the one that slept with my wife while she was still married to me . so that makes you the homewrecker . dylan : not my fault you could n't keep your wife satisfied , pal . avery : dylan ! paul : hey , that 's enough ! that 's enough . both of you need to take a walk , preferably in the opposite direction . let 's go . [ door opens ] [ door closes ] victor : can we talk about this ? nikki : this company is your excuse for everything that you do , victor . how many times have you put what 's best for the company over what 's best for our family ? victor : i have built newman enterprises for all of us . nikki : yes , yes , i know . it 's always about what you have built . what about what we 've built together ? does n't that mean anything to you ? victor : what i have done , what i have built , i 've done for all of us , for my family , okay ? nikki : so , gaslighting sharon , that was for us ? and tricking summer into giving you total control over phyllis ' care , that 's for us ? victor : would you kindly look at the results ? i saved our son from a disastrous marriage . summer has her mother back . how 's that ? nikki : how is destroying an entire neighborhood good for anybody ? it certainly is n't gon na be good for dylan . victor : this is about more than dylan 's coffeehouse , for heaven 's sake . rebuilding the inner city is gon na create a lot of jobs , a lot of new businesses . besides , it 's good for newman - chancellor and my children and my grandchildren . nikki : and to hell with my son , right ? lauren : you have heard from three specialists and your urologist . they have all said the same thing , and , michael , it 's time to listen ! michael : you know what ? i 'm gon na call the university 's school of medicine , and i 'm gon na see what they would recommend . lauren : oh , for what ? ! what ? what are you looking for ? are you looking for a doctor to tell you you 're not sick ? because that is not going to happen ! honey , you have cancer . michael : wow . you do n't think i know that ? lauren : knowing it and accepting it are two very different things . and clearly you 're not there yet . kevin : well , sharon and nick seem to be getting along . mariah : yeah , that 'll last for a few hours , then tomorrow they 'll be back to battling . kevin : what is the truce about ? mariah : i mentioned to nick that i had n't celebrated my birthday before , and now he 's trying his hardest to make it up to me . kevin : everybody seems to be having a good time . mariah : except me . i feel like i 'm an outsider looking in at somebody else 's life . this is what life was like for cassie , the perfect child . kevin : nobody 's perfect , mariah . mariah : it 's just ironic , you know ? the one bad judgment call cassie made ended up killing her . meanwhile , i 've made a million mistakes , and i 'm still here . it does n't seem right . kevin : i 'm glad you 're here . mariah : stop . kevin : i am . hold on . if i had n't met you , i would still be hiding my fan fiction addiction . mariah : [ laughs ] kevin : and i do n't know anyone else in the world who would appreciate this . mariah : what is this ? kevin : it 's a present . mariah : well , duh . kevin : it 's for your birthday . mariah : yeah , i gathered that . kevin : okay , well , the part you 're not gathering is that you have to unwrap it to see what 's inside it . mariah : [ chuckles ] [ gasps ] oh , my gosh ! where did you get this ? ! kevin : does that mean you like it ? mariah : it 's perfect . kevin : good . austin : this is nice . summer : see ? what 'd i tell you ? skiing is pretty awesome . austin : [ chuckles ] so , what else do you do on these trips ? summer : well , usually after a long day on the slopes , i 'm pretty sore . but there 's no hot tub here , so ... austin : so a massage it is . summer : [ chuckles ] oh , no , no , no . you . austin : me ? summer : mm - hmm . you . lily : you know , you 're not making any friends in this town . joe : well , it 's just business . lily : business ? really ? that 's why you and dylan almost turned this place into a boxing ring ? joe : you 've been speaking with paul . lily : well , he 's not happy with either of you . joe : well , if you 'd excuse me , i 'm gon na pack up my presentation . lily : that 's a good idea . cane : you okay ? lily : yeah , for now . just waiting to see what other surprises joe clark has in store . cane : you know , when i asked him about the seller a few weeks back , he showed me a document with the name of the holding company on it . gerolamo limited . i should have looked it up back then . lily : would you have made the connection ? cane : so , i just did a quick search on my phone . it turns out saint gerolamo was the patron saint of orphans . colin : clever . jill : well , victor better be doing some praying if he wants to hang on to chancellor . katherine must be spinning in her grave at the way he 's mishandled her life 's work . cane : you know , it should be one of us who 's running the company . colin : or both of you . paul : assault and battery is not the answer ! avery : normally i would agree with you , paul , but in this case ... dylan : as mad as i am at joe , i 'm more worried about nikki . i mean , it 's one thing for victor to lie to us , but ... paul : you know what , dylan ? nikki knew exactly who he was when she married him the first time . dylan : i do n't know how she 's dealt with him all these years . paul : [ sighs ] nikki : i just wanted to thank you again for not speaking to victor about my drinking . paul : yeah , well , i 'm still not sure i 'm doing the right thing . nikki : hey , i have kept my promise . there has been no alcohol . really the only reason that that happened is because i was facing so much stress last year . paul : and what happens the next time you face a stressful situation ? it 's gon na happen , nikki . there will come a time when life throws something at you that you ca n't handle . paul : well , nikki 's coping skills have not always been the best . victor : you 're blowing this all out of proportion . nikki : oh , do you think so ? victor : yes . nikki : that 's funny . i think i 'm having a perfectly normal reaction to finding out my husband has betrayed me . victor : since when are you and i discussing newman business ? nikki : you thought you could get away with this because dylan is n't your son . you do n't give a damn about him . just admit it . is it too much to ask for you to be a little welcoming ? i mean , i - i welcomed abby into the family . victor : what the hell are you talking about ? i 'm not talking about destroying dylan 's business . he can relocate anywhere in this town . in fact , i 'll give him the startup money . nikki : please , you can not throw money at it to make it better . victor : i 'll discuss this with you when you have calmed down , all right ? and then perhaps you 'll realize that i 'm simply trying to help ! [ door slams ] faith : when can we eat the cookies ? sharon : well , we have to let the cookies cool . faith : they smell so good . sharon : mm - hmm . nick : okay . looks like you , my man , are on k.p . duty . noah : why me ? nick : 'cause you 're probably gon na eat the most cookies . noah : that 's fair . kevin : i 'll give you a hand . noah : thanks . faith : maybe i should help , too . nick : you know , i 'm probably gon na have to guard those cookies , too . faith : [ laughing ] sharon : i was hoping to wish you a happy birthday this morning , but you were sleeping and i did n't want to wake you . and then i went to the cemetery . mariah : i understand . it 's a tradition . sharon : so are presents . happy birthday . mariah : wow . i , um ... i did n't ... sharon : just open it . mariah : it 's beautiful . sharon : those are garnets . it 's your and cassie 's birthstone . mariah : is this also something that was meant for cassie but because she 's not here i get by default ? sharon : no . not at all . mariah : i 'm not interested in cassie 's leftovers . [ door closes ] faith : okay , mariah ! make a wish ! noah : then we 'll sing . nick : where did mariah go ? sharon : she thought the necklace was for cassie . i do n't know where she got that idea . i just bought the necklace for mariah last week . noah : mariah gets defensive , mom . you know how it is . sharon : well , i just do n't want her to think i 'm using her to replace cassie . i do n't know what to do . should i go after her ? kevin : just give her some time . you know , i 'll track her down , make sure she 's okay . nick : yeah , i should go , too . faith : bye , daddy . sharon : thanks for making this a special day for the kids . nick : yeah . mwah . we 'll see you . see you , boy . sharon : well , i should get ready for my interview . noah : sure . faith : [ sighs ] i 'm glad daddy stayed . it was fun . noah : just as long as you know that making cookies does n't mean that mom and dad are getting back together . faith : are you leaving now , too ? [ cell phone rings ] noah : are you kidding me ? leave the cookies behind ? no , i 'm staying here and watching you and miss patsy while mom goes to her interview . but i got to take this , so one second , okay ? hey , court . what 's up ? faith : noah 's right . today was a start . but i need to do something so big , mommy and daddy will never be able to stay apart again . summer : i must look like a mess . austin : hey . you look beautiful . summer : hmm . you 're biased . austin : ah . summer : mm - hmm . i 'll be right back . austin : okay . [ footsteps approach ] austin : we 're closed for a private event . mariah : lots of parties going on tonight , but none for me . austin : after you left , we realized it was your birthday . so happy bir -- michael : you are way out of line . lauren : i do n't think so . michael : i have accepted my diagnosis . i have cancer . i am a cancer victim . see ? and now i am talking with doctors and i am discussing treatment options . lauren : that is the problem . you are discussing and not doing . do you really think that your disease is just gon na stand still while you gather facts and hope to god this is n't real ? i 'm -- i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . i should not have , uh ... michael : what ? put it that way ? you 're right . lauren : you 're scared and , uh ... i 'm really scared , too . but you are not alone in this . michael : well , thank god for that . lauren : who are you calling ? michael : dr. jain . i 'm making my first radiation appointment . avery : we should get back and thank everybody for showing up . dylan : yeah , you 're right . thanks for your help , paul . paul : no problem . be careful out there , all right ? [ sighs ] [ sighs ] yeah , nikki , it 's me . listen , um ... i just wanted to make sure you 're okay . i know this whole thing with , uh , victor came as a shock and , uh , wanted to let you know that if you want to talk or you feel like having a drink , i just hope you call me first . nikki : you do n't need alcohol to cope with your problems . do n't even think about touching that glass . it 's not gon na help . it never helps . just walk away . just walk away . damn it . [ sighs ] colin : despite your protests , i know you 're keen to get back into the corporate world . jill here speaks of nothing but chancellor industries . and besides , there 's strength in numbers . jill : [ chuckles ] says the lone wolf . colin : ever since we 've been married , i can see the value in a strong partnership . if we 're gon na get rid of victor , we need to muster all the power we can . cane : `` we `` ? colin : well , you and jill , of course . lily : and like i said , you both have my blessing . cane : partners ? jill : partners . colin : ah ! excellent ! lily : [ laughs ] jill : maybe this is what katherine wanted all along -- for us to realize that we needed each other as much as we needed chancellor . joe : the deal 's still on ? victor : mm - hmm . that was never in question . joe : good . thought you might be getting cold feet . victor : i do n't get cold feet , mr. clark . [ next_on ] kevin : huh . chelsea : connor 's toy car . he 's been asking for it all morning . i have no idea where it went . sage : hi . | at the athletic club dining room , victor demands to know from dylan where he got his information that he was behind the land development project . nikki looks at him and asks him if he is behind dylan losing his coffeehouse . victor tells them that this is a business deal and no one will stop it . lily asks cane if he knew about victor being behind all this . cane does n't really know how to answer . mariah is kneeling beside cassie 's grave and wishes her a `` happy birthday . `` nick walks up to join her . at the newman home , sharon thanks noah for accompanying her to the cemetery to celebrate cassie 's birthday . they plan something for later for mariah . sharon tells noah that she has a job interview later that will help her in her custody fight to gain custody of faith . faith sits on the stairs and talks to her doll about sharon and nick needing a little push in order to get back together . at the underground , kevin asks summer and austin if mariah made it a habit of taking off from work . summer tells him that she does take off quite often , leaving austin with all the work . michael and lauren sit in dr. jain 's office awaiting his arrival . michael tells lauren that he is going to ask the doctor how he can beat this cancer . noah tells sharon that he thought she wanted to share custody of faith with nick . sharon says that she wanted that too , but david sherman told her that she should play dirty to gain custody . faith comes running into the room , carrying a birthday card for mariah . sharon agrees with faith 's request to bake some cookies for mariah 's birthday . nick tells mariah that he is not happy about having to go to trial to gain custody of faith , but there 's no other option . nick remembers the fights that he and sharon had when cassie was a child where cassie was always the peacemaker . nick feels bad that mariah never experienced a childhood . kevin defends mariah to summer and austin which aggravates summer to no end . kevin realizes that today is cassie 's birthday and it is also mariah 's . austin remarks that is the reason why she did n't want to be there today . summer becomes angry at austin for also defending mariah . when nikki realizes that victor is behind dylan losing his coffeehouse , she walks out on him and the others . jill confronts victor about running katherine 's dynasty into the ground for his own financial gains . paul pulls dylan aside and asks him as to how he found out that victor was behind this . dylan lets him know that kevin told him . paul becomes upset and tells him that he did n't want anyone to know what they were working on . paul tells him that explains why everyone was unwilling to help them . avery and joe argue over his being involved with victor . joe reminds avery that although dylan may not have his coffeehouse , he still has her . cane , lily , colin and jill discuss what went down here tonight and the fact that victor was behind it all . nick brings mariah home from the cemetery . when faith begs him to stay for mariah 's birthday , nick finally gives in . dr. jain tells michael that his cancer has spread . | <s>[INST] victor : where 'd you get this information ? dylan : does n't matter where we got the information . we know it 's you . nikki : is this true ? have you been keeping this from me ? victor : i never denied owning this land . avery : but you withheld information . no one asked , so you neglected to volunteer the facts . nikki : how many times have we discussed the fight that dylan is going through to hang on to his business , and you never once thought to tell me that you were involved in -- victor : i do not want to discuss this right now ! do you understand ? nikki : how could you do this ? ! victor : how dare you talk to me like this now ? when everything is revealed , you 'll find out this is nothing personal . nikki : well , your precious deal is about to drive my son out of business . how can that not be personal ? victor : i am telling you it is not ! lily : did you know victor was in on this ? cane : no , it 's the first i 've heard about it . colin : it seems your good buddy decided that what you did n't know could n't hurt you . nick : mariah ? mariah : nick , um ... i was just ... nick : wishing cassie a happy birthday ? that 's why i 'm here , too . happy birthday , squirt . i hope these brighten up your day , just like you always did mine . [ sighs ] happy birthday to you , too . mariah : thanks . nick : do you have big plans ? mariah : well , i 'm sure cassie always had a big birthday party , lots of presents , and family around , but for me , it was just like any other day . nick : you did n't celebrate your birthday growing up ? mariah : no . the only birthday we celebrated at the path was ian . god knows helen could n't be bothered . why mark the occasion when you got saddled with a kid you did n't even want ? nick : i 'm sorry . mariah : i do n't need your pity or anybody else 's . nick : it 's not pity , mariah . it 's compassion . and you need to learn the difference between the two . i just wish some things worked out differently for you . that 's all . mariah : well , there are a lot worse things . could have had a happy , loving family and watched it all fall apart . sharon : i appreciate you going to the cemetery with me earlier . noah : i just want to be there for you and cassie . sharon : even after all these years , it 's still hard to think of her missing out on her birthday , her whole life ahead of her . noah : yeah , i know . sharon : but i 'm grateful for the moments i had with her , every moment . and i 'm glad now that i 'm getting to make up for lost time with mariah . we 'll celebrate her birthday when she gets home from work later . noah : sounds good . sharon : we 'll just do something simple . i know that she would n't be comfortable with anything elaborate . and because i have a job interview . noah : i did n't know you were looking for a job . sharon : it 'll help in court , prove to the judge that i 'm leading a stable life now , that i can hold down a job and be a good mom to my kids . i hate to think of all the moments i will miss with faith if nick gets his way . noah : the mediation was that bad ? sharon : worse . we 're going to court . faith : mommy and daddy fight a lot . but i know they still love each other . and one of these days , they 're gon na get married . just like summer said ... all they need is a little push . kevin : so , does mariah do that a lot ? take off in the middle of a shift ? austin : once in a while . summer : oh , please . you are being way too nice . how many times have you had to cover for her ? austin : she 's been more reliable lately . kevin : hmm , she seemed upset earlier . i wonder if something happened with sharon . summer : why do you bother worrying about her ? okay , mariah cares about herself , and that 's pretty much it . kevin : that 's not true , summer . she 's not some cold - hearted person . you just do n't understand her . summer : and you do ? how well do you two know each other , exactly ? michael : dr. jain is a very prolific writer . i 've read a number of his articles on the benefits of the less aggressive approach . you know , his philosophy and mine , we are totally in sync . lauren : good . maybe now you can actually start treatment instead of just collecting opinions . michael : you sound like kevin . he thinks i 'm just trying to delay the inevitable by consulting doctors . [ door opens ] dr. jain : hello . i am dr. samir jain . michael : michael baldwin . my wife , lauren . lauren : how do you do ? dr. jain : very well , thank you . so , i understand you are looking for a second opinion ? michael : i would like to know the best way to beat this cancer without losing who i am along the way . noah : i thought that you wanted to share custody with dad , like before . sharon : i did . i still do . but my lawyer thinks i need to fight back . if i do n't take a strong stand , then there will be no fall - back position . noah : yeah , that makes sense . for a lawyer , i guess . sharon : i 'm really not comfortable with it , either , but david 's the expert . if nick and i are both going for full custody , there 's a better chance the judge will make us compromise . noah : i just hate that faith is the one caught in the middle of this . i remember what that feels like . sharon : i feel terrible about it . but what else can i do ? i 'm terrified of losing faith . faith : i made mariah a birthday card ! sharon : oh , wow ! how pretty . faith : i ca n't wait to give it to her . oh , yeah . and can we make a batch of cassie 's special cookies like we did last year and share them with mariah since it 's her birthday , too ? noah : that sounds great . sharon : i think mariah would love that . let me see if i have all the ingredients . faith : i 'll call daddy to come help . noah : uh , you know what , kiddo ? um , i think it 's just gon na be the three of us this year and mariah . faith : it does n't have to be . sharon : faith . faith : why ca n't daddy come ? sharon : we talked about this , sweetie . faith : daddy promised you 'd both still be there for important things . is n't cassie and mariah 's birthday important to you ? nick : i 'm not happy about having to go to trial . sharon 's lawyer is doing a ... a great job trying to make me out to be a terrible father , which , in turn , makes things more contentious between sharon and me , which is n't great for faith . mariah : i wonder what cassie would have thought of all this . nick : cassie hated it when we fought . she always felt like it was her job to resolve the conflict . sharon : i know how much you want everything to be okay . unfortunately ... your father and i ... nick : we 're having some problems . cassie : you mean between you ? you 're fighting ? sharon : no , but we 're , uh , disagreeing . cassie : about what ? maybe i can help you decide what 's right . nick : well , it 's kind of one of those things where we 're ... both right and we 're both wrong . cassie : if you know that , then why do n't you both be half - wrong ? then you 'll be even . nick : cassie was a peacemaker . she was wise beyond her years . mariah : that 's another area where she and i are different . everybody 's always asking me when i 'm gon na grow up , start acting like an adult instead of a punk kid . nick : i do n't think you ever had a chance to be a kid . mariah : more compassion ? nick : am i wrong ? mariah : i had dreams like all the other kids . i always imagined that there was something better out there . turns out , there was . just ... not for me . kevin : mariah and i are friends . we both had tough childhoods , and we understand each other . and what you see as attitude is mariah just putting up walls to protect herself . and this whole , new life of hers , it 's , uh , it 's really foreign to her , and it 's a big adjustment . summer : today is cassie 's birthday . austin : so it 's mariah 's birthday . that 's why she does n't want to be here . kevin : [ sighs ] i 'm gon na go find her , make sure she 's okay . austin : you know , kevin made some good points . summer : you grew up without a dad , and you still managed to be a kind , decent person . austin : well , the decent part 's kind of up for debate . i 'm on probation for -- summer : you are a decent person who made a mistake . that 's it . austin : yeah , well , i think deep down , where it counts , mariah 's decent , too . summer : why are you always defending her ? austin : i 'm not . why are you always upset when her name comes up ? summer : because her name always seems to come up ! austin : okay . i 've got work to do . nikki : you said that you came to this party to gather information , when all along , the truth is that you had a vested interest . victor : we 'll discuss this later . you got that ? nikki : i would apologize on victor 's behalf , but there 's really no point . he has a long history of underhanded behavior , and that 's not gon na end any time soon . victor : let me just say this . you do n't quite understand what 's happening here . dylan : i understand that i 'm losing my business . victor : dylan , there are larger considerations than your coffeehouse . just remember that . jill : boy , it sounds like you have a mess on your hands . victor : your ignorance is only surpassed by your lousy timing . dylan : [ sighs ] jill : victor . listen to me . your chancellor division is tanking . come on . is n't it time to spin it off before you drive katherine 's legacy into the ground ? victor : it 'll be a cold day in hell before i hand anything over to you . just remember that . have a good day . paul : so , how did you find out that victor was behind the holding company ? dylan : it was kevin . paul : kevin ? i told him to keep it legal . dylan : yeah , well , as far as i know , he did . he 's the one who found the information about gerolamo limited . paul : and that 's the company that owns the land ? dylan : yes . and it turns out gerolamo emiliani is the patron saint of orphans . paul : and i 'm the roman catholic . dylan : yeah , the answer was right under our noses the whole time for anybody who 's aware of victor 's history . not that knowing any of this information is gon na save crimson lights , because obviously victor does n't care who he 's hurting , and he has enough power to make sure that this deal happens . paul : well , yeah . that explains why the mayor and the historical landmark commission refused to help . dylan : and i 'm sure joe 's delighted to be working with such a well - connected seller . it 'll give him an excuse to stick around town . and avery . avery : so it looks like you and victor had your stories straight . the deal 's just business ? joe : it is . avery : yeah . and it also allows you to conveniently stick it to my fiancé . you know , victor found the perfect partner . joe : avery -- avery : you 're actually a lot alike . do you know that ? you both think you can have what you want for the right price . well , you 're wrong , joe . and you will never get me back . joe : look , i heard you . now you hear me . okay , this is a good deal . this will highly benefit genoa city , and that 's why victor and i have been working on this so diligently . avery : no , it 's a good deal for you and your rich cronies . dylan and the other small - business owners , they 'll have to close up shop ! joe : well , like you said , he 's not walking away empty - handed . he still has you . cane : why is victor so adamant about selling this land when he knows how unpopular it 's going to be ? lily : when has victor ever cared what people thought ? cane : well , he cares what nikki thinks . well , he should , at least that way he 'll know how she 'll react . colin : maybe that 's why he 's kept it under wraps . lily : you know what ? half the town is up in arms outside . we should make sure the police can keep them away from the property . cane : good idea . come on . colin : [ sighs ] i , uh , saw you over there sticking it to the old vic . jill : mm - hmm . colin : you enjoy yourself ? jill : yes . immensely . colin : am i to assume that , uh , the palace coup is a go ? jill : i got to tell you , victor is obviously in dire financial straits if he 's willing to risk his marriage to get his hands on a little cash . this might be the perfect opportunity to make a play for chancellor . colin : you know he 's not gon na give it up without a fight . jill : bring it on . [ both chuckle ] michael : what are your thoughts on treatment options ? dr. jain : well , having gone over all of your scans , your blood work , and your biopsy report , my recommendation is that we pursue a course of radiation and hormone therapy . michael : that 's what the other doctors said . dr. jain : it is the standard of care in cases like yours . michael : i came here believing that you had a less aggressive treatment orientation . i read your articles . dr. jain : in which i was addressing patients with slow - growing tumors at a much earlier stage of disease . ultimately , my job is to best treat the patient in front of me , and you are in stage 3 , mr. baldwin , which means the cancer is spreading . conventional treatment would be best . and the sooner , the better . lauren : i 'm so relieved to hear you say that , doctor . michael : i 'm not . my goal is to get through this treatment as the same person . as the ... as the same man i am today . and that would not be possible given the side effects of hormone and radiation therapy . dr. jain : you are welcome to get another opinion , but i believe that any reputable oncologist will tell you the same thing . michael : we 'll see about that . lauren : what ? michael . michael ! sorry . sharon : wow . that 's looking good . [ door opens ] faith : they smell so good . daddy ! nick : hey , pumpkin . i ran into mariah at the cemetery and offered her a ride home . faith : do you want to help ? nick : um ... you know what ? i ca n't stay . faith : you have to . we 're making birthday cookies . mariah : you guys did n't have to go to the trouble . faith : they 're not hard . i help make them every year . they were cassie 's favorite . mariah : well , then i did n't mean to interrupt the party . you guys have fun , okay ? sharon : wait . mariah , the cookies are for you , too . mariah : sharon , it 's okay . you do n't have to try to make me feel better . nick : it 's your birthday , too . noah : we should all celebrate . faith : stay , daddy . please . nick : well , i guess i 'm not going anywhere , especially since there 's cookies involved ! [ both laugh ] nick : how many can i eat ? honestly . pick a number . faith : um ... austin : um , what happened to all the customers ? summer : i took care of their tabs and told them that they had to go because we are closing for a private party . austin : nick did n't tell me about a private party . he booked something without ... summer : nope . this was all me . i thought we ought to go skiing . austin : right now ? seriously ? summer : mm - hmm . austin : [ chuckles ] okay , what 's this ? summer : well , when i go skiing , i usually spend most of my time at the lodge in front of the fire , so i thought we ought to do that ... right here . austin : you brought a ski trip to me ? summer : mm - hmm . you know , we need to get some more time for ourselves . alone time . austin : god , i love you . summer : i love you , too . come here . nick : you got more flour on you than you do in the bowl , dude . noah : compared to the mess that cassie used to make , i 'm an amateur . [ laughter ] sharon : okay , so your sister was n't that great at baking , but she was very creative . she liked to draw and write poetry . nick : do you remember the time she decided to redecorate dad 's birthday cake without telling anyone ? noah : now , that was hilarious . no , mariah , you should hear the story . it 's funny . faith : me , too ! what was so funny ? sharon : well , cassie found a tube of colored icing and drew a horse on victor 's cake . noah : a big , purple horse between the roses and the curlicues and stuff . nick : yeah . dad loved horses so much , she thought it 'd be a great idea . i think she was probably like 9 or 10 ? sharon : yeah . that sounds right . noah : grandpa was so surprised . sharon : we all were , especially nikki . she spent a fortune on that cake . nick : yeah . so , it 's dessert time . their cook rolls out the cart . the cake 's there . it 's lit , candles , everything , and dad looks at it and goes , `` well , look at that . cassie drew a picture of skippy . `` faith : skippy ? nick : [ laughs ] faith : that 's a weird name for a horse . noah : he was n't the horse . skippy was his dog . [ laughter ] sharon : oh , the poor thing . i remember how her face just fell . [ knock on door ] mariah : uh , i 'll get it . nick : how 's this looking ? faith : good . i just want to eat it all . it smells so good . nick : we 're getting close . faith : m & ms and everything . mariah : kevin . kevin : i came by to wish you happy birthday . i did n't get a chance to at underground since you left without saying anything . mariah : i , um , i had someplace to be . kevin : i can see that . am i interrupting ? mariah : no , no . please come in . kevin : hi , guys . noah : hey , kev . nick : hey , what 's up , man ? faith : hi ! kevin : making a cake ? faith : nope . cookies for cassie and mariah 's birthday . kevin : oh . nick : you should try them . they 're better than anything we ever used to make at crimson lights . kevin : speaking of , are you ready to have your minds blown ? so , you know that , uh , you know that whole land deal where those guys are gon na come in and tear down the whole warehouse district , including the coffeehouse ? nick : yeah . what about it ? kevin : well , i did some research online for dylan . guess who owns all that land ? i 'll give you one clue . it 's your father . sharon : victor ? kevin : uh - huh . nick : you are kidding me . kevin : nope . noah : i believe it . sharon : you know what ? so do i . it 's typical victor . hurting people for profit . and i 'm sure there 's an extra added bonus in it for destroying a place that means something to me . nick : do you know if my mom knows yet ? kevin : if nikki does n't know yet , she will soon . avery and dylan were headed over to the club to confront him and joe clark . paul : all right . thanks for the update . lily : paul , the protestors outside are making it hard for our guests to come and go . cane : i tried to talk to your officer about crowd control , but he needs to hear from a higher - up . paul : all right . um , i 'm on it . cane : thanks . lily : excuse me . dylan : at least the protestors are up - front about their agenda . unlike some people . avery : okay , we should go . we did what we came to do , and now everybody knows the truth about this development deal . dylan : too bad they do n't know about the middle man here and how he set up a fake meeting to get you into his hotel room . you saw that she was happy and you tried to wreck that . joe : no , not me . you 're the one that slept with my wife while she was still married to me . so that makes you the homewrecker . dylan : not my fault you could n't keep your wife satisfied , pal . avery : dylan ! paul : hey , that 's enough ! that 's enough . both of you need to take a walk , preferably in the opposite direction . let 's go . [ door opens ] [ door closes ] victor : can we talk about this ? nikki : this company is your excuse for everything that you do , victor . how many times have you put what 's best for the company over what 's best for our family ? victor : i have built newman enterprises for all of us . nikki : yes , yes , i know . it 's always about what you have built . what about what we 've built together ? does n't that mean anything to you ? victor : what i have done , what i have built , i 've done for all of us , for my family , okay ? nikki : so , gaslighting sharon , that was for us ? and tricking summer into giving you total control over phyllis ' care , that 's for us ? victor : would you kindly look at the results ? i saved our son from a disastrous marriage . summer has her mother back . how 's that ? nikki : how is destroying an entire neighborhood good for anybody ? it certainly is n't gon na be good for dylan . victor : this is about more than dylan 's coffeehouse , for heaven 's sake . rebuilding the inner city is gon na create a lot of jobs , a lot of new businesses . besides , it 's good for newman - chancellor and my children and my grandchildren . nikki : and to hell with my son , right ? lauren : you have heard from three specialists and your urologist . they have all said the same thing , and , michael , it 's time to listen ! michael : you know what ? i 'm gon na call the university 's school of medicine , and i 'm gon na see what they would recommend . lauren : oh , for what ? ! what ? what are you looking for ? are you looking for a doctor to tell you you 're not sick ? because that is not going to happen ! honey , you have cancer . michael : wow . you do n't think i know that ? lauren : knowing it and accepting it are two very different things . and clearly you 're not there yet . kevin : well , sharon and nick seem to be getting along . mariah : yeah , that 'll last for a few hours , then tomorrow they 'll be back to battling . kevin : what is the truce about ? mariah : i mentioned to nick that i had n't celebrated my birthday before , and now he 's trying his hardest to make it up to me . kevin : everybody seems to be having a good time . mariah : except me . i feel like i 'm an outsider looking in at somebody else 's life . this is what life was like for cassie , the perfect child . kevin : nobody 's perfect , mariah . mariah : it 's just ironic , you know ? the one bad judgment call cassie made ended up killing her . meanwhile , i 've made a million mistakes , and i 'm still here . it does n't seem right . kevin : i 'm glad you 're here . mariah : stop . kevin : i am . hold on . if i had n't met you , i would still be hiding my fan fiction addiction . mariah : [ laughs ] kevin : and i do n't know anyone else in the world who would appreciate this . mariah : what is this ? kevin : it 's a present . mariah : well , duh . kevin : it 's for your birthday . mariah : yeah , i gathered that . kevin : okay , well , the part you 're not gathering is that you have to unwrap it to see what 's inside it . mariah : [ chuckles ] [ gasps ] oh , my gosh ! where did you get this ? ! kevin : does that mean you like it ? mariah : it 's perfect . kevin : good . austin : this is nice . summer : see ? what 'd i tell you ? skiing is pretty awesome . austin : [ chuckles ] so , what else do you do on these trips ? summer : well , usually after a long day on the slopes , i 'm pretty sore . but there 's no hot tub here , so ... austin : so a massage it is . summer : [ chuckles ] oh , no , no , no . you . austin : me ? summer : mm - hmm . you . lily : you know , you 're not making any friends in this town . joe : well , it 's just business . lily : business ? really ? that 's why you and dylan almost turned this place into a boxing ring ? joe : you 've been speaking with paul . lily : well , he 's not happy with either of you . joe : well , if you 'd excuse me , i 'm gon na pack up my presentation . lily : that 's a good idea . cane : you okay ? lily : yeah , for now . just waiting to see what other surprises joe clark has in store . cane : you know , when i asked him about the seller a few weeks back , he showed me a document with the name of the holding company on it . gerolamo limited . i should have looked it up back then . lily : would you have made the connection ? cane : so , i just did a quick search on my phone . it turns out saint gerolamo was the patron saint of orphans . colin : clever . jill : well , victor better be doing some praying if he wants to hang on to chancellor . katherine must be spinning in her grave at the way he 's mishandled her life 's work . cane : you know , it should be one of us who 's running the company . colin : or both of you . paul : assault and battery is not the answer ! avery : normally i would agree with you , paul , but in this case ... dylan : as mad as i am at joe , i 'm more worried about nikki . i mean , it 's one thing for victor to lie to us , but ... paul : you know what , dylan ? nikki knew exactly who he was when she married him the first time . dylan : i do n't know how she 's dealt with him all these years . paul : [ sighs ] nikki : i just wanted to thank you again for not speaking to victor about my drinking . paul : yeah , well , i 'm still not sure i 'm doing the right thing . nikki : hey , i have kept my promise . there has been no alcohol . really the only reason that that happened is because i was facing so much stress last year . paul : and what happens the next time you face a stressful situation ? it 's gon na happen , nikki . there will come a time when life throws something at you that you ca n't handle . paul : well , nikki 's coping skills have not always been the best . victor : you 're blowing this all out of proportion . nikki : oh , do you think so ? victor : yes . nikki : that 's funny . i think i 'm having a perfectly normal reaction to finding out my husband has betrayed me . victor : since when are you and i discussing newman business ? nikki : you thought you could get away with this because dylan is n't your son . you do n't give a damn about him . just admit it . is it too much to ask for you to be a little welcoming ? i mean , i - i welcomed abby into the family . victor : what the hell are you talking about ? i 'm not talking about destroying dylan 's business . he can relocate anywhere in this town . in fact , i 'll give him the startup money . nikki : please , you can not throw money at it to make it better . victor : i 'll discuss this with you when you have calmed down , all right ?

[ chuckles ] phyllis : no , no , no , no , no . come on . keep on saying what you were saying . mia : rey is the best thing that 's ever happened to me . he is a decent and generous man . i broke his heart . and yet he forgives . i was selfish and -- and stupid , and i hurt him so much . still he took me back . he 's not the kind of guy who would play games or take revenge on you by going with another woman . he 's not the kind of guy who would punish you that way . phyllis : sleep with another woman . maybe someone you know . mia : that would be the worst . and i never want to hurt him again . phyllis : but you still think you could , because you want someone else . mia : [ scoffs ] the way i feel about arturo is a part of who i am . how do you cut someone out of your heart you 've loved your whole life ? phyllis : well , you know , i - i have had stupid , crazy love , myself , you know ? not the last - forever kind , but ... mia : mm - hmm . phyllis : you know , if i saw him now , i would say no . but arturo lives in town , here , now . mia : engaged to a woman known as the naked heiress . and i should n't care . arturo is entitled to his own life with whomever he chooses . [ crying ] but when i think of her , abby , marrying my first love ... how could he love me and then love her ? enough to marry her ? abby newman is nothing like me at all . a woman like that wo n't make him happy . i have to stop thinking like this , but i -- i do n't know how . rey : you finally stopped wearing those ripped - up jeans . arturo : [ chuckles ] that was a style , my brother . rey : no , no . that was a joke . arturo : mm . rey : thank god abby changed that bad style sense of yours . arturo : yeah , well , i changed a lot being with her . wait a minute . i - is that what this is about , this little tea party ? rey : [ sighs ] arturo : you want to have a big serious conversation with me because i 'm engaged . rey : oh ... arturo : look , i - i know how the wedding night goes .

rey : those people , the lives they lead , it 's , uh ... arturo : okay , remember i - i -- i know these people , all right ? i 've -- i 've been around them , both sides of her family , enough to get it . they 're rich . they own the big business , the town . they 've already looked me up and down to make sure that i 'm good enough for their girl . victor even handed me a prenup . `` welcome to the family . you 're not touching newman money . `` rey : [ laughs ] after a surprise engagement ? what -- what , does he keep that in a file in his drawer ? arturo : that 's a rich - man move . rey : [ scoffs ] what did you say ? arturo : i said yes . i love abby , man . her money 's her business . rey : yeah . when victor 's case goes to trial , whose business will that be ? arturo : i 'm the one with the screwdriver , and you 're the one with the badge , so ... rey : things are gon na get complicated . arturo : newmans are sticking together pretty close . they do n't even think there 's gon na be a trial . rey : yeah . there 's a lot of denial there . arturo : they say he 's innocent . rey : yeah , they always do . so , you ready for this ? a lifetime of abbott - newman drama ? arturo : do n't leave out the rosales drama . rey : mm - hmm . arturo : abby and i are in this together . we can handle it . billy : what did the police have to say about this ?

my security team knows this better than any cop . nikki : if katie is out there and she needs help , she knows the guards . she brings them cookies . she shows them her new stuffed animals . if i thought the police department could help , i would call them myself . billy : if my daughter is missing , all right , i 'm not gon na wait around for the newman rent - a - cops to find her . victor : put it down . billy : no . you do n't get a say where my daughter 's concerned . victoria : please don't . victor : i said put it down ! victoria : just do n't , please . billy : [ sighs ] kyle : more sake ?

arturo : [ chuckles ] see ya , bro . rey : see ya . mia : i 'm not a crier . phyllis : ah . neither am i . when i got a guy , though , stuck in my brain , my eyes do crazy things . you know , from experience , sometimes you need people just to listen to you . and sometimes you need people to tell you what to do . mia : you take advice ? phyllis : i think i can . at -- at some point , i - i 'm sure i have . but this is about you . do you want advice this time ? mia : yes . please . phyllis : do n't cause trouble for abby and arturo . as tempting as it may be , even if you just want that little spark of satisfaction , or it might even feel like joy . he will resent it . abby comes from not one but two families that are used to getting everything they want . she stamps her little foot , and you 're gon na have dual armies right behind her . mia : because she has everything . including arturo now . phyllis : okay . tell me about you . you have a man who loves you . a business that you created . no one gave that to you . and when they said no , you went around them . mia : hmm . phyllis : and you have n't not stopped until you get a yes . everything you have , you have earned through hard work , and through busting your backside . but here 's the thing . you got to be damn careful of what you want . because i can tell you 're tough . and if you want arturo , you 're gon na get him again . but if you do that , you will burn up everything that you have earned in this world . you got to know when to back off , mia . when to give in . take that energy and put it into your career . put it into your marriage . tell yourself that you are over arturo . wake up saying that every day , and go to bed the same way . and one day it 'll be true . mia : i do love rey . phyllis : okay . then go from there . mia : everything 's gon na be all right . phyllis : that 's right . mia : oh , thank you . phyllis : that 's good . victoria : i 'm scared too . & billy : we need to call the police . we need a chopper . we need dogs . we need the swat team . we need to do whatever we can . victoria : no , billy , please . because if katie 's on her own , it 's only gon na terrify her . billy : we do n't know if she 's on her own , okay , and that is not good enough for me . victoria : then just come with me . we 'll talk to the head of security . we 'll see what they 're doing , and maybe we can help them . billy : god , victoria , you sound like your father . you 're circling the wagons . no outsiders allowed . come on . if somebody can get on the property , they can get off -- with katie . you know what , enough , okay ?

[ sighs ] it is a waste of time and energy . but i am not proud of the way i acted at your event . so i promise to behave myself from here on out . with you and with abby . since we 're gon na be a family . arturo : [ sucks teeth ] i want to believe you , mia , but ... it 's not that simple . billy : and there you have it , ladies and gentlemen -- phyllis . first you tell me to handle victoria with kid gloves , now you 're telling me to give up and walk away . phyllis : what i said is that you have to decide how hard you 're willing to work to get through to her . billy : i am being open . i am being honest . i 'm trying to be accepting . i 'm trying to go at her speed . but it turns out her speed is grinding to a halt and throwing it in reverse , okay ? i am an open vein , and she has turned to ice . phyllis : and what , you think i have all the answers ? billy : according to you , yeah . phyllis : no . what i said is that maybe you should try . but you think trying is the price of entry . boom . done . you get everything you want . but victoria has her own free will . she gets her own vote in her life , and she 's given you the information . you have to decide how you want to handle things . billy : that 's it ? that 's all you have ? phyllis : this is my office . i do work here . but somehow , when you walk in , you do n't see the jabot c.e.o . no , no , no . you see the ex who is responsible for the current state of your life . a frenemy who 's gon na hand out advice , lend an ear . if this was the coffeehouse , if this was the club , that would be cool . but in these walls , i am not your buddy . i am not your ex . i am not your therapist . i am your boss . and i need you to remember that . victor : i want you to do it again , all right ? as many times as it takes . have you found anything ? nikki : no . i 've been in all of her favorite rooms in the house . she 's not in my closet trying on shoes . she 's not in the pantry where the sweets are . victor : oh , for heaven 's sake . victoria : hi . have you found katie yet ? victor : no . i think she 's probably playing . you know , she loves to wander through the house and find things to play with . victoria : mom sounded so worried on the phone . victor : i 'm sure the staff is gon na find her . victoria : what are you not telling me right now ? nikki : i think someone might be in the house . victoria : someone might be -- has katie been kidnapped ? ! victor : your mother 's just speculating right now . victor : [ gasps ] katie ? katie , can you hear me ? come out right now ! victor : victoria , you know how she likes to run off and then just play hide- and - seek somewhere . the other day she came right back . victoria : how many of the staff do you have looking for her ? victor : sweetheart -- victoria : how many guards do you have ? victor : everyone is looking for her , and nicholas is on the way over , all right ? victoria : did you call the police ? victor : i do n't want to call the police unless they find that there 's a trespasser on the grounds . victoria : she would n't wander off ! she does n't do things like that . victor : i want to keep this within our family . sweetheart -- victoria : katie ? ! katie , do you hear mommy ? come out ! baby , come out . introducing the new ww . nick : mom ? mom ! nikki : oh , thank god you 're here . nick : any word on katie ? nikki : no . nothing yet . nick : where 's vick ? nikki : she 's searching the house again with your father . nick : how about the grounds ? nikki : uh , the guards are patrolling every square foot of it . nick : well , it 's obviously not enough . what do you need me to do ? nikki : i really need your help with the security footage from the property . i mean , there 's just so many angles and so many hours . who knows how long this intruder has been wandering around ? nick : okay , you 're sure somebody got past security ? nikki : i 'm not absolutely positive , but i ca n't shake this feeling . i mean , what if katie was kidnapped from this very room ? i mean , i was sleeping , nicholas ! she was my responsibility , and i was asleep ! nick : mom , calm down . calm down . look , it 's a house full of security and staff . she is here somewhere . we 'll find her . nikki : [ sighs ] nick : let me see the footage . phyllis : no , that 's right . the spring packaging palette , the summer promotional materials . yeah . no , that 's good . can you bring them up when you 're done with them ? excellent . thank you . you stuck around . because you have to have the last word ? billy : only to tell you you 're right . phyllis : oh . it 's nice that someone 's noticing . billy : this is a place of business . our focus should be and is on jabot . [ sighs ] and i 'm sure you want to hear about victoria as much as i want to hear about nicholas . phyllis : it 's healthier for all if some topics stay off the table . billy : and yet ... phyllis : i knew this was coming . billy : and yet you ca n't help but put yourself in between me and victoria by saying something about her being a consolation prize , which she isn't . so , i will stay in my lane , and you stay in yours . phyllis : okay . that 's doable . can we get back to work ? billy : you 're the boss . phyllis : once i go over your report , i 'm gon na need some help with my presentation . nothing more than a little prep work . but do you think we can do that without ripping into each other ? billy : sounds doable . arturo : [ sighs ] mia : you did n't have to do that . but thank you , though . arturo : yes , i did . [ sighs ] we both needed a breather . mia : we were n't having an argument . arturo : [ snorts ] yet . mia : so , what now ? is this the part where you tell me why you do n't believe me ? arturo : that 's not what i said . mia : that 's exactly what you said . arturo : mia , i 'm just trying to point out that it 's not gon na be easy to play happy family . mia : because you do n't believe me . why is that so hard for you to admit that ? arturo : it 's just because it 's complicated , mia . mia : it does n't have to be . arturo : look , i want that . okay ? believe me . i want the four of us to get along . mia : then what 's the problem ? arturo : history . a lot of it . not -- not just between me and you . i mean , put rey in the mix . mia : and abby . arturo : like i said , it 's a lot . mia : we can figure it out . we have to . i just need to know that you and i are okay , arturo . maybe that 's stupid and unrealistic at this point . but when you 've gotten so close to someone , you want to believe that that connection will last forever . and not -- not in the same way . not like that . but something . no matter who you 're married to , i want to believe you 're my friend . arturo : what you said about being the center of attention , that 's who you are . and no one can stop you . i do n't know if friends is the right word to use for us , but , yeah . i 'm sure we 'll be friends . mia : i have to go . i have a client . arturo : already making it happen for yourself . mia : trying to . arturo : knock 'em dead .

[ chuckles ] phyllis : no , no , no , no , no . come on . keep on saying what you were saying . mia : rey is the best thing that 's ever happened to me . he is a decent and generous man . i broke his heart . and yet he forgives . i was selfish and -- and stupid , and i hurt him so much . still he took me back . he 's not the kind of guy who would play games or take revenge on you by going with another woman . he 's not the kind of guy who would punish you that way . phyllis : sleep with another woman . maybe someone you know . mia : that would be the worst . and i never want to hurt him again . phyllis : but you still think you could , because you want someone else . mia : [ scoffs ] the way i feel about arturo is a part of who i am . how do you cut someone out of your heart you 've loved your whole life ? phyllis : well , you know , i - i have had stupid , crazy love , myself , you know ? not the last - forever kind , but ... mia : mm - hmm . phyllis : you know , if i saw him now , i would say no . but arturo lives in town , here , now . mia : engaged to a woman known as the naked heiress . and i should n't care . arturo is entitled to his own life with whomever he chooses . [ crying ] but when i think of her , abby , marrying my first love ... how could he love me and then love her ? enough to marry her ? abby newman is nothing like me at all . a woman like that wo n't make him happy . i have to stop thinking like this , but i -- i do n't know how . rey : you finally stopped wearing those ripped - up jeans . arturo : [ chuckles ] that was a style , my brother . rey : no , no . that was a joke . arturo : mm . rey : thank god abby changed that bad style sense of yours . arturo : yeah , well , i changed a lot being with her . wait a minute . i - is that what this is about , this little tea party ? rey : [ sighs ] arturo : you want to have a big serious conversation with me because i 'm engaged . rey : oh ... arturo : look , i - i know how the wedding night goes .

rey : those people , the lives they lead , it 's , uh ... arturo : okay , remember i - i -- i know these people , all right ? i 've -- i 've been around them , both sides of her family , enough to get it . they 're rich . they own the big business , the town . they 've already looked me up and down to make sure that i 'm good enough for their girl . victor even handed me a prenup . `` welcome to the family . you 're not touching newman money . `` rey : [ laughs ] after a surprise engagement ? what -- what , does he keep that in a file in his drawer ? arturo : that 's a rich - man move . rey : [ scoffs ] what did you say ? arturo : i said yes . i love abby , man . her money 's her business . rey : yeah . when victor 's case goes to trial , whose business will that be ? arturo : i 'm the one with the screwdriver , and you 're the one with the badge , so ... rey : things are gon na get complicated . arturo : newmans are sticking together pretty close . they do n't even think there 's gon na be a trial . rey : yeah . there 's a lot of denial there . arturo : they say he 's innocent . rey : yeah , they always do . so , you ready for this ? a lifetime of abbott - newman drama ? arturo : do n't leave out the rosales drama . rey : mm - hmm . arturo : abby and i are in this together . we can handle it . billy : what did the police have to say about this ? nick : we have n't contacted them . billy : why the hell not ? victoria : because we do n't actually know if anyone 's in the house . billy : `` intruder . `` your mother used the word . nikki : i did n't actually see anyone . just my teacup on the floor . uh , maybe katie thought that she had dropped it and broken it , and that i would be upset with her . billy : somebody burnt the stables down , so clearly they can get on the property without being noticed , and yet you 're not calling the police . victor : would you pipe down ? my security team knows this better than any cop . nikki : if katie is out there and she needs help , she knows the guards . she brings them cookies . she shows them her new stuffed animals . if i thought the police department could help , i would call them myself . billy : if my daughter is missing , all right , i 'm not gon na wait around for the newman rent - a - cops to find her . victor : put it down . billy : no . you do n't get a say where my daughter 's concerned . victoria : please don't . victor : i said put it down ! victoria : just do n't , please . billy : [ sighs ] kyle : more sake ?

arturo : [ chuckles ] see ya , bro . rey : see ya . mia : i 'm not a crier . phyllis : ah . neither am i . when i got a guy , though , stuck in my brain , my eyes do crazy things . you know , from experience , sometimes you need people just to listen to you . and sometimes you need people to tell you what to do . mia : you take advice ? phyllis : i think i can . at -- at some point , i - i 'm sure i have . but this is about you . do you want advice this time ? mia : yes . please . phyllis : do n't cause trouble for abby and arturo . as tempting as it may be , even if you just want that little spark of satisfaction , or it might even feel like joy . he will resent it . abby comes from not one but two families that are used to getting everything they want . she stamps her little foot , and you 're gon na have dual armies right behind her . mia : because she has everything . including arturo now . phyllis : okay . tell me about you . you have a man who loves you . a business that you created . no one gave that to you . and when they said no , you went around them . mia : hmm . phyllis : and you have n't not stopped until you get a yes . everything you have , you have earned through hard work , and through busting your backside . but here 's the thing . you got to be damn careful of what you want . because i can tell you 're tough . and if you want arturo , you 're gon na get him again . but if you do that , you will burn up everything that you have earned in this world . you got to know when to back off , mia . when to give in . take that energy and put it into your career . put it into your marriage . tell yourself that you are over arturo . wake up saying that every day , and go to bed the same way . and one day it 'll be true . mia : i do love rey . phyllis : okay . then go from there . mia : everything 's gon na be all right . phyllis : that 's right . mia : oh , thank you . phyllis : that 's good . victoria : i 'm scared too . & billy : we need to call the police . we need a chopper . we need dogs . we need the swat team . we need to do whatever we can . victoria : no , billy , please . because if katie 's on her own , it 's only gon na terrify her . billy : we do n't know if she 's on her own , okay , and that is not good enough for me . victoria : then just come with me . we 'll talk to the head of security . we 'll see what they 're doing , and maybe we can help them . billy : god , victoria , you sound like your father . you 're circling the wagons . no outsiders allowed . come on . if somebody can get on the property , they can get off -- with katie . you know what , enough , okay ?

[ scene_break ] anna : so , you and susan have completely lost touch with each other ? dillon : she used to send me a christmas card every year , but not anymore . anna : oh . does she live abroad like you did growing up , or is she stateside ? dillon : some tiny island off the coast of maine . i do n't know why . she went to some top-10 school in new england , and then she just took off and opened a gift store . called it suki 's . but [ sighs ] i hope she 's happy . i would n't know . anna : sounds like something happened to her . you know , like bad relationship or maybe she got into some kind of trouble she does n't want to be reminded of . dillon : are you interrogating me ? [ scene_break ] paul : when dillon looks at me right now , it feels like he resents me so much he just wants me to disappear . and you , of all people , should know that sometimes you can sense what people are thinking , even if they 're not saying it . like you are right now . tracy , are you all right ? tracy : uh ... where -- where were we ?

[ scene_break ] morgan : you here to lecture me , kristina ? because i got michael to do that , thank you . kristina : actually , i came looking for dad . is he around ? morgan : nope . why are you looking for him ? kristina : well , i invited him to my mom 's wedding , and i want to see if he 's gon na go . morgan : uh - huh . hmm . how do i put this , uh , tactfully ? kristina : he despises julian and would rather have his flesh torn off into strips than watch my mother marry him ? morgan : yep , that 's pretty much it . kristina : well , i 'm hoping he can rise above it for my sake . morgan : why do you care ? kristina : it 's a wedding present . i was thinking about getting julian and mom a pasta maker , but i think that they 'd rather have a truce with dad .

[ scene_break ] paul : dillon has basically severed ties with me . tracy : [ scoffs ] are you surprised after the way you treated his mother ? paul : well , he needs to get over it . my son needs a father . tracy : no , he needed a father when he was a child , when he was making his movies with his little camcorder and his -- and his `` star wars `` action figures . he needed a father to say , `` go for it . i support your vision . `` what he does n't need is this `` too little too late `` attempt to assuage your guilt . paul : well , do n't hold back , tracy . why do n't you tell me what you really think ? tracy : oh , watch yourself , paul . i have n't even started . paul : ca n't you see in your heart that i am sincere about wanting to fix this ? tracy : [ chuckles ] your sincerity is completely irrelevant . it is not my job to plead your case with my son . dillon 's on his own path , and the less he has to do with you , the better . [ scene_break ] anna : uh , yeah , look , i 'm flattered . that 's really nice of you , but i am so not the modeling type -- at all . dillon : oh , no , i totally agree with you . that was awkward . that 's not what i meant . i mean that you will be great for this shoot . anna : oh . um , all right . so where are you doing this photographic shoot ? dillon : well , we 're not really using a formal studio setup . we 're trying to capture everyone in their natural habitat . anna : well , my natural habitat is the pcpd . i do n't know how kindly they would take to a photo shoot . dillon : well , then they can kick us out . but i 'm pretty sure if you are the subject that i 'm shooting , they 'll know better . anna : well , when do you want -- dillon : now . like , we can head over there right now . [ scene_break ] franco : look , morgan 's little problem -- well , this is not coming out right . um [ sighs ] poor guy . i mean , he 's got to be embarrassed , right ? i mean , this is literally emasculating . kiki : yeah . i 'm trying to be as sensitive as i can . franco : well , you should be , and you should stand by him , and you should -- you should let him know how important he is to you and how you still want him and this little hiccup has no bearing on a long - term commitment to him , if , in fact , that 's what this is . kiki : yeah , i think that it could be . franco : okay . well , then , i 'm sure he will calm down and get used to his meds and then everything will be ... fine . kiki : what if it 's not his meds ? what if it 's something else ? franco : such as ? kiki : what if it 's me ? what if morgan just ... what if he does n't want me anymore ? [ scene_break ] morgan : you know what ? if you understood the way the business works , you would n't even think to suggest that he compromise with julian . you would n't . kristina : like you have any idea how the business works . morgan : uh , yes , i do . i 'm around it all the time , and i 'm actually learning a lot . kristina : about coffee , maybe , but dad would never let you near his real business . morgan : dad 's in a wheelchair , okay ? he ca n't walk , he 's vulnerable , so i 'm helping out , and i 'm starting , all right ? i already got my eye on a situation , and i know i 'm the right guy with the right instincts , and i know how it all works . all right ? kristina : what is wrong with you ? morgan : there 's nothing wrong with me . i 'm letting you know that i got it under control . that 's it . kristina : okay , morgan , you 're talking a mile a minute , and you 're not making any sense . are you even taking your meds ? morgan : am i taking my meds ? do you want to run a test ? would you like to run a test ? do you want to just cut my arm off ? you can run it down to the lab , see if i 'm taking my meds . kristina : okay , you need to calm down for a second . morgan : no , you 're right ! i do need to calm down , because i 'm working right now . i 'm doing something with my life . i 'm a part of dad 's business now , okay ? an important part of dad 's business . kristina : yeah . whatever flies your kite , baby brother . just , um ... watch the whiskey shots and the head meds , okay ? morgan : krissy , wait . wait up . darby : and why are you going that way when i 'm over here ? [ scene_break ] sam : i have n't been this happy in since [ chuckles ] well , i - i do n't remember . alexis : aww . i 'm so glad to hear that , and that 's because of jason , right ? sam : i do n't know , mom . it 's because i do n't have to look backward anymore or wonder `` what if ? `` i do n't have to remind myself not to miss him or not to wish for things that can never happen . jason is here , and so am i . and we 've changed -- we have -- but in a lot of ways , we 're still the same . jason can still make a really great bowl of pasta ... alexis : [ chuckles ] sam : ... and we can talk about everything and nothing , and i like it , and i ca n't wait to see what happens next . alexis : i do n't blame you . sam : okay , well , with that said , i was wondering if , um , there 's any way i could bring him to your wedding . [ scene_break ] jason : jake needs specialized treatment , so elizabeth and i are gon na take him to philadelphia shriners hospitals for children . carly : i made a donation after spencer was there in boston . it 's a great organization . there are 22 shriners hospitals for children in the united states , canada , and mexico . they treat children from all over the world , regardless of the family 's ability to pay . monica : and the orthopedic department in philadelphia is excellent . carly : then that 's where jake should be . and , look , you guys , if you need anything or any help , i 'm here . okay , elizabeth ? elizabeth : thank you , carly . okay , i 'm going to finalize the arrangements with the boys , and i 'll meet you later . monica ... thank you so much for all your help with jake . monica : well , he 's my grandson . and i will organize the transport arrangements as quickly as i can , and i 'll keep you posted . jason : thank you . carly : how are you really doing ? jason : hey , you know , i 'm fine . i 'm fine . carly : i meant what i said . you know i did . if you and elizabeth need anything while you 're out of town , do n't hesitate to ask , please . jason : [ chuckles ] you know i have to ask , can -- can you keep an eye on sam for me ? [ scene_break ] sonny : so that 's it ? you 're dumping me ? griffin : you do n't need a neurosurgeon , mr. corinthos . you need a collaborator . you 're using your wheelchair to feign weakness to your enemies . what you do with your life is none of my business , but using me to promote it is . i 'll have no part of it . sonny : fine . i 'll find a new doctor . [ scene_break ] paul : i will own whatever problems i 've created with my son . but i do n't think it 's fair for you to feed into dillon 's anger towards me . tracy : dillon 's decision to sever his relationship with you was his idea , not mine . if he chooses to excise you from his life -- paul : i do n't want to be excised from his life ! i want to be his father , even if you think it 's too little too late . [ scene_break ] anna : you still make movies ? dillon : yeah . i mean , that 's the plan . i actually tried to make one here , but that did n't really work out . fortunately , i got this gig with crimson . anna : oh , yeah . how 's that working out ? dillon : it 's going great so far . so i 'm just gon na go with it for now . anna : your parents must be very proud . dillon : yeah . [ chuckles ] my mom is just happy i have a reason to get out of bed every day . anna : yeah , sounds like tracy . and your father ? dillon : we 're not close . so , why do n't we try you over here ? anna : okay . here . dillon : okay . anna : that kind of surprises me , you know , 'cause he seems very fond of you . dillon : my parents split up when i was just a baby . although sometimes it feels like it happened last week . actually , it did happen last week . anna : i did n't realize they 'd got back together . did they ? dillon : not officially , no , they had not . but , um , even after all these years , uh , my dad ca n't seem to resist my mom , apparently . so he really led her on . anna : i - i - i was with your father the other night , actually . right after you 'd been to see him . dillon : that must 've been pretty late . anna : yes . uh , well , law enforcement , you know ? odd hours . and we talked , and it seems to me that i think he feels quite badly about not being the father he wanted ... dillon : [ chuckles ] does he ? anna : ... to you , you know , and your sister . do you know if -- if she feels like that ? dillon : susan ? i hardly know her . i mean , she reached out to me about ... i was 10 or so . we e - mailed for a while , and ... just kind of stopped . both got involved in our own things . sometimes i kind of wish i could just do what she did -- forget about my dad and walk away . [ chuckles ] [ camera shutter clicking ] [ scene_break ] ava : pardon me for interrupting . may i borrow my daughter , please ? franco : as long as you promise to return her undamaged . ava : i think i can manage . franco : yeah , i 'm sure you can . what remains to be seen is if you will . mm . it was really nice talking to you . let 's talk again soon . kiki : thank you . franco : keep the faith . kiki : oh , i 'll try . so , how much of my conversation with franco did you hear ? ava : i wish you and morgan the very best . beyond that , whatever happens in your relationship is absolutely none of my business . kiki : that 's right . ava : although i am always here to talk whenever you want to . kiki : i 'll bear that in mind . so , what 's with the , uh , charm offensive ? ava : i 'm not sure what you mean . kiki : why are you being so nice to me ? ava : [ chuckles ] you mean since you took your little sister to see her father even though you knew that it was against my wishes ? kiki : you mean after you lied to my face about being sick when you were n't ? ava : yeah , that . yeah . water under the bridge . sincerely . i come in peace -- and bearing clothing . kiki : what is it ? ava : it 's a dress for you for your uncle 's wedding . i hope you like it .

[ scene_break ] alexis : yeah , i - i ... you know , i - i just think it might be better if we let them -- jason and julian -- acclimate to each other gradually . sam : no , i - i get it . you do n't want dad to spend your wedding day glaring at jason . that 's -- it 's fair enough . alexis : you know what ? julian is just gon na have to get used to him anyway . i say bring him . sam : you know what ? i - i do n't -- i do n't know , mom . maybe you 're right . maybe -- maybe it would be better off if jason did n't go . i mean , he should be focusing on jake anyway . [ scene_break ] carly : okay , sam 's a pretty independent woman , but i 'm happy to check on her for you . jason : appreciate that . she had me take her out of the hospital against doctor 's orders , so ... carly : oh . how 'd that go ? jason : actually , pretty well . you know , we picked up danny , cooked dinner , played with the kid , put him to bed . uh , you know , then i got the call to come back here for jake . look , i know sam 's a tough chick and all , and she says she 's fine , but i just want to make sure . carly : well , that 's really sweet . yes , i will check on sam . jason : thank you . carly : but i do have a thought . maybe you should go say goodbye . i 'm sure she 'd love that . [ scene_break ] sonny : i 'm not gon na sit here and be judged by some holier than thou doctor who thinks they have me figured out because , you know , you 've read something in a newspaper article online . griffin : i know nothing about you , mr. corinthos , so how could i judge you ? only god can do that . [ scene_break ] anna : so , you and susan have completely lost touch with each other ? dillon : she used to send me a christmas card every year , but not anymore . anna : oh . does she live abroad like you did growing up , or is she stateside ? dillon : some tiny island off the coast of maine . i do n't know why . she went to some top-10 school in new england , and then she just took off and opened a gift store . called it suki 's . but [ sighs ] i hope she 's happy . i would n't know . anna : sounds like something happened to her . you know , like bad relationship or maybe she got into some kind of trouble she does n't want to be reminded of . dillon : are you interrogating me ? [ scene_break ] paul : when dillon looks at me right now , it feels like he resents me so much he just wants me to disappear . and you , of all people , should know that sometimes you can sense what people are thinking , even if they 're not saying it . like you are right now . tracy , are you all right ? tracy : uh ... where -- where were we ? [ scene_break ] kiki : it 's exactly what i would 've picked . ava : i know you 'll look beautiful in it . kiki : um , okay , so ... what 's the catch ? ava : well , it is a peace offering , so ... i want peace . i want us to move on . kiki : well , that would be a very mature thing for us to do , now , would n't it ? ava : [ chuckles ] yes , it would . so i suppose we 'd have to wing it . [ both chuckle ] kiki : i still think that taking avery to sonny 's was the right thing to do . so if you can get past that -- ava : i can . because i love you . i love you so much . i 'm , um , hoping that -- that maybe this dress could represent the first step in us ... finding our way back to each other . kiki : i hope it will . in time . ava : me too . but , kiki , um ... if we did n't have the luxury of time ... i need you to promise me that if anything were to happen to me , you would take care of your little sister . [ scene_break ] sonny : you 're pulling the god card on me ? griffin : like i said before , it 's not up to me to judge you . however , i do n't appreciate being used this way . sonny : you disappoint me . griffin : well , the feeling 's mutual . sonny : well , see , you know , i pride myself on having a good judge of character , because that 's the kind of business that i 'm in , right ? when we met at the chapel , i thought you were a good guy . griffin : i am a good guy , mr. corinthos . and i think somewhere inside , you are , too . sonny : okay , so we 're both good guys , but we ca n't work together ? is that what you 're saying ? griffin : yes , that 's what i 'm saying . sonny : so where does that leave us ? where does that leave me ? griffin : i will refer you another doctor . sonny : no ! i do n't want -- no . listen . i 've tried them all . i 've tried all the doctors . they do n't work . griffin : i do n't know what you want me to do . sonny : tell you what ... what if -- what if i give you my word that you never have to lie for me and that this is gon na be over soon ? griffin : i hope that 's not your way of saying something dangerous is going to happen . sonny : that 's the point . i 'm not saying anything .

[ scene_break ] sandy : you know jonathan is really not going to like you and i working together . josh : well , i do n't tell him what to feed his snakes , you know ? sandy : am i going to be a pawn ? josh : no , sandy . i want to hire you back because you 're a bright guy and because you were good at the job when you were doing it . before you started trying to steal from me , of course , which you 're not going to do again , right ? sandy : and if it annoys jonathan and gets me closer to reva .... josh : i have absolutely no control over that whatsoever . now , you 're not going to lie to me again ? sandy : no , sir . josh : and i have your word on that ? sandy : yes , sir . josh : you know what i 'll do if you go back on your word ? sandy : thing too horrible to mention , oklahoma justice with all the fixings . josh : pigs . sandy : i understand . josh : i can see how much you care about reva and tammy . i know you want to protect them both ; i know how much you want to make them happy . i also think that having a young man around with those kinds of values , having reva see that on a regular daily basis , that would be a good thing . sandy : you know you 're playing with fire , josh . josh : so we have a deal or what ? sandy : absolutely . josh : okay . [ scene_break ] tammy : i did n't know you were back from the hospital . jonathan : well , i healed up faster than the doctors thought i would . maybe it was from your nursing . tammy : i did n't nurse you ; i just stayed with you for a little while after the fall to make sure you were still breathing . jonathan : what were you hoping for ? what ? tammy : i 'll talk to aunt reva another time . reva : okay . tammy ? jonathan : i 'm going to go call some of my friends , tell them i 'm home . reva : you want to come in ? jonathan : i did n't know he 'd be here . never mind . never mind . it 's fine he does n't ... i just ... i wanted to talk to you about sandy . reva : wait right here . let 's go . what did you want to talk about sandy ? tammy : i hope you and josh will give him another chance . i know that he lied to you , but he really does love you , okay ? more than some other people . reva : i know sandy 's a good guy and we 've been through a lot together and i know that he 's been a good friend to you , too , tammy , but if you 're asking me to make a choice between sandy and jonathan , i ca n't do that . i have room in my heart for both of them and in my life . tammy : are you sure about that , aunt reva ? look around you . look at what 's happened . sandy 's not working with you anymore . my mother ca n't spend time with you . uncle josh is miserable in his own house and i do n't even feel welcome here anymore , all because of jonathan . it seems to me you 've already made your choice , i just hope it 's the right one for you .

[ sighs ] liam : probably because you and i got back together . i mean , that 's hurtful to both of them . steffy : yeah , that 's exactly what i said to him . he did n't deny it . liam : yeah , but he did n't agree to do what you asked , either . steffy : the point is , this insanity just needs to end . ivy thinks that video is all about justice for aly . she 's using it and she 's holding it over my head . and for all i know , lieutenant baker could walk in right now for the warrant for my arrest . liam : no , that -- that is not how this is gon na go down . steffy : look , i know ... i know you tried to get through to ivy . and i tried , too . [ sighs ] and i know wyatt has done some questionable things . but i honestly do not believe he wants ivy using that video against me . liam : yeah , well , unfortunately , he 's still on the fence . steffy : well ... he 's had a night to think about it . hopefully wyatt comes to his senses . [ scene_break ] ivy : ah . are we interrupting ? wyatt : what ? what 's going on ? liam : like you do n't know . steffy : actually , i - i just got a text from my dad . he said start the meeting without caroline and him . liam : oh , really ? steffy : yeah . ivy : okay , well , what about thomas ? liam : well , i - i can fill him in later if he does n't show . wyatt : okay , so what 's this big confab about , anyway ? liam : okay , okay , uh , well , we here are all aware of the big changes that have been taking place at this company , and now so is the public . so , ivy is the new face of forrester , and i think it 's time to start planning her first photo shoot . wyatt : okay . got something in mind ? liam : yeah . actually , i talked to dad , and the yacht in monte carlo is available . wyatt : yeah ! ivy : wow . monte carlo . that 's great . i mean , i love that . wait . liam : what ? ivy : just -- it just -- this seems to be moving really fast . is there another reason you want to get me out of the country ?

[ scene_break ] steffy : you would think that . ivy : well , is that what you 're doing ? you 're sending me on this shoot to get me out of the country ? liam : absolutely not , ivy . this is just business . ivy : okay , so then why does my gut tell me there 's something more to it ? steffy : i do n't know . maybe you 're just being paranoid . ivy : [ sighs ] wyatt : oh , steffy . come on ! steffy : no , you come on , wyatt . you know what ivy 's doing is wrong . ivy : no , steffy . what i 'm doing is keeping you out of prison ! i should have taken that video to the police a very long time ago , but i did n't . and instead of you guys being grateful , you keep throwing demands around ! i mean , where do you get off ? steffy : where do you get off accusing me of something that you know i would never do ? ! aly was family . i said this a thousand times how sorry i am ! we are all sorry ! but it was self - defense ! ivy : so then why are you so concerned with this video getting out , steffy ? you want to know why ? because you are n't innocent . aly 's life was taken by you , steffy . [ scene_break ] brooke : despite caroline choosing ridge over being a mother , ultimately ridge could n't have her make that kind of sacrifice knowing what family and children mean to her . thomas : so he sacrificed their relationship instead . brooke : yes . but ridge being ridge , he was concerned , so he called her to make sure she was okay , and she -- she was upset . she was crying . but you know what ? caroline is tough . she 's a fighter . she 's going to get through this . and she 'll find a man who can give her what ridge ca n't . she has family and she has friends . she has you . you and caroline have always had this amazing connection . if one person could really help her get through this , it would be you . [ scene_break ] caroline : i do n't understand . ridge : what changed between yesterday and today ? i 'm ... i was trying to do what 's -- what 's best for you , you know ? and then i realized ... i heard your voice , and i heard how upset you were , and i just wanted to crawl through that phone and grab you and hold you and tell you that everything 's ... everything 's gon na be okay because that 's what people that love each other , that 's what they do . and ... we 're a team , you know ? and whatever the challenge is , we face that together and we get through it together . it 's what we 're all about . it 's what we 're all about . i 'm hoping that we still are . so i want you back . [ scene_break ] steffy : how many times do i have to deny it ? ivy : well , why do n't you try admitting to it ? i mean , come on . what -- what 's that saying ? is it , `` confession is good for the soul `` ? steffy : i have nothing to confess to . i never wanted any of this . ivy : oh , and you think i did ? steffy , i wish to god that aly was still with us . i wish there was n't a confrontation . i wish there was n't a stupid video . and you know what ? i really wish you would understand why i 'm doing this . it 's to defend aly 's name . but instead you two are too busy wasting time trying to figure out ways to get me out of the country . wyatt : ivy . i 'll go talk to her . liam : no , let me -- let me do it . i 'm the one she 's really upset with . steffy : do n't say it . wyatt : it ca n't go on like this . steffy : well , then do something . get rid of the video . or did anything i say get through to you ? wyatt : actually , it did . in more ways than you might think .

[ scene_break ] brooke : despite caroline choosing ridge over being a mother , ultimately ridge could n't have her make that kind of sacrifice knowing what family and children mean to her . thomas : so he sacrificed their relationship instead . brooke : yes . but ridge being ridge , he was concerned , so he called her to make sure she was okay , and she -- she was upset . she was crying . but you know what ? caroline is tough . she 's a fighter . she 's going to get through this . and she 'll find a man who can give her what ridge ca n't . she has family and she has friends . she has you . you and caroline have always had this amazing connection . if one person could really help her get through this , it would be you .

you 're just gon na take off , you and brooke , right after she 's done walking away from my father ? ridge : spencer told you to come here and end things ? brooke : [ sighs ] bill has -- he refuses to wait any longer . he 's been very patient , you know , so i do n't blame him if he 's upset . ridge : you do n't blame him for leaving you at the altar ? brooke : you crashed our wedding , ridge . why do n't you just leave us alone ? ridge : hey . this really what you want ? walk away from r.j. ? walk away from us ? nicole : you should go . sasha : look , you just need some time . pushing zende away and telling him you 're never gon na trust him again -- nicole : it would have never happened if it were n't for you . you 've screwed everything up , sasha . he was hurting , and you took advantage , the same way you did before . what kind of woman does that ? ! what kind of sister does that ? ! do you have any morals at all ? sasha : of course , i do . god , nicole , you act like i 'm some sort of tramp . and you want to stand here and talk down to me ? well , news flash -- nothing you say to me can affect me , not after the life i 've been through , what our father did to me . but hey , you know what ? if you want to go ahead and make an enemy out of me -- nicole : what i want is my future back . you took it away from me . you took my future , sasha . sasha : oh , no . you did that all on your own the second you decided to become maya and rick 's surrogate again . that 's what sent zende running . it was -- it was too much for him , nicole ! it 's too much for anybody ! nicole : do n't you dare act like you know him better than i do . the only reason you know him is because of me . sasha : [ chuckles ] and , you know , that 's exactly something i would expect someone to say who 's had a cushy , little , easy life . yeah , loving , little family , and your sister moved out to l.a. , and she got you all set up . you 've been coddled , nicole ! and that makes me think you 're not even mature enough to be in a relationship . nicole : and you are ? sasha : oh , yeah . because i know who i am . and i do n't think you can say the same . who knows ? maybe having rick 's baby kind of messed you up a little bit . but get this -- there is no prince charming out there , okay ?

brooke : i have always wanted to be a forrester , and you know that . so for me to just walk away ... i will always love you , ridge . i will always cherish every moment we ever shared . but you and r.j. are gon na have to accept the fact that this is what i want . bill is who i want . ridge : then you should go to bill . i got work to do . brooke : [ sighs ] nicole : i 'm done . do n't talk to me . do n't even look in my direction . sasha : nicole , come on ! nicole : and as for zende , you can have him . he 's yours . but do n't be surprised when he quickly realizes that you are nothing more than a self - absorbed play toy . sasha : hang on ! this is about so much more than just me and zende , is n't it ? yeah . yeah , you 've said that you 've accepted me as your sister , but there 's a whole lot of old resentment up in there . nicole : that 's ridiculous . sasha : is it ? i - i come to l.a. and i mess up your perfect , little life , and not because i wanted to , but because julius avant made me carry around his secret . nicole : stop blaming our dad for everything ! this was on you ! you could have been a friend to zende without crossing the line . sasha : how many times do i have to say it ? we thought you had gone through with the procedure . had we known otherwise -- nicole : i 'm not saying i 'm blameless . i should have considered zende 's feelings more . but you took advantage of zende , of me , of the situation . now you have to live with that , with yourself . if you can . sasha : i did n't take advantage . do i have real feelings for zende ? yes . have i ever met a man like him ? no . but if you still want him , speak now , nicole , or risk losing him forever . steffy : well , for what it 's worth , i wish you luck . bill : i appreciate that . thank you . steffy : i still wonder , though , do n't you think it 's a little risky ?

'cause brooke and i are inevitable . there is no way that ridge is getting another shot at keeping us apart . sasha : i know you 're still hurting because of what happened . that 's actually why i stayed away for thanksgiving . i wanted to give you some space . if you never want to speak to me again , i understand , but that does n't change how i feel about you . you 're my sister , nicole , the sister that i never could acknowledge for all those years . and now you ca n't even look at me . and i get that . i do . but do n't let whatever you 're feeling about me affect your relationship with zende . he really does love you , nicole . give him another chance . [ sighs ] i 'm not gon na make excuses for what you saw between zende and me . but , nic , you have to understand . another baby ? maya and rick 's surrogate again ? and i realize that you changed your mind at the last minute , but we did n't know that . nicole : and that makes it okay ? what i walked in on ? sasha : n - no , no . it 's -- it 's not okay at all . i just -- it would n't have happened -- nicole : i thought you were n't gon na make excuses . sasha : th - that 's not what i 'm doing . i 'm just trying to help you understand how hard it was for zende thinking that you 'd chosen surrogacy again over him . nicole : it was n't like that . sasha : well , maybe it was n't like that to you , but it sure felt like that to him . now , look , if you would just let him explain -- nicole : i was just with zende . sasha : okay , so what does this mean ? are -- are you guys patching things up ? because i - i sure hope so . nicole : seriously ? you honestly expect me to believe that ? sasha : yes , it 's the truth . i hate what this is doing to the both of you . nicole : no , you do n't . you hate the fact that zende 's trying to patch things up with me . you want him for yourself . you just do n't want me or anyone else to think that you 're that selfish . instead , you want me to trust you and believe that you 're actually rooting for zende and me . but i do n't trust you , sasha . how could i ever trust you again after this ? steffy : do n't sell my dad short . he stopped your wedding with brooke twice before . bill : do you know that he proposed to her ? steffy : wait , seriously ? bill : well ... not technically , i guess . i mean , in sort of a weird symbolic gesture . he did have stephanie 's ring . uh , he proposed a future , and this performance took place -- get this -- at stephanie 's grave site . steffy : wait . what ? bill : yeah . well , he was playing on their history . i mean , you know that your namesake and brooke had a very complex relationship that ended with them as friends . well , actually , uh , more than friends . stephanie wanted brooke and ridge together again . steffy : okay , so ... bill : so what better way for brooke to please the woman she came to love than by marrying her son ? steffy : so my dad , he did n't actually propose to brooke ? bill : no . well , look , look , the point is , uh , it ai n't happening , all right ? stephanie 's not gon na get her final wish all these years later . steffy : no , because brooke 's marrying you instead . bill : and your old man 's just gon na have to learn to accept that , and i 'm sure he will once brooke makes it clear to him that there is no future for the two of them .

's death . sharon : well , you two go . i 'm gon na sit this one out . mia 's not my biggest fan . phyllis : why 's that , aside from the obvious ? victoria : because real wife resents work wife . sharon : something like that . victoria : it really does n't make any sense , though , inviting half of genoa city . phyllis : i do n't know , i mean , i 'm kind of impressed she 's reaching out to all the power players in genoa city . victoria : did you just call me a power player ? phyllis : yes , i did . look , i think we need to go . be charming and disarming . be like rey . milk people for information . sharon : the reason why that worked is because rey is actually charming . phyllis : so are we , when we want to be , when we 're not bickering . we will all play nice together . victoria : that 's not a bad plan . j.t . 's body is sti ll out there , and we 're not safe until he 's found . mia : what are you doing ? that 's for the guests ! lola : there will be plenty , believe me . mia : because you think no one 's coming . lola : because i 'm a professional , and i know how much food to make . mia : why is no one here yet ? excuse me . [ sighs ] lola : you need to relax , girl . it 's called being fash ionably late . mia : you 're right . how 's my fashion ? hmm ? it 's a copy of a $ 5,000 dress . i had a kid from the fashion institute make it for me . do i look okay ? lola : you look great . like always .

[ doorbell rings ] lauren : when did you decide this ? michael : yo u did n't think you should maybe discuss this with us first ? fenmore : no , because i knew what you would say . michael : yeah , that you worked so hard to get into law school , and now you 're just throwing it all away . fenmore : yes , i figured it 'd be something like that . lauren : are you in trouble ? fenmore : what ? no . lauren : is it pills ? i mean , is it something else ? fenmore : no ! mom , i 'm clean , all right ? i promise . michael : all right , then explain this to us . what is this about ? fenmore : i just do n't have the same passion for law that you do , okay ? i 've been trying my hardest to make this work , busting my butt to get good grades , but my heart 's just not in it . michael : eh , well ... your heart 's in music . now , do n't take this the wrong way , but ... since when ? fenmore : um , since i met a girl at a bar . she plays at this place on campus on tuesday nights , okay ? and we just became friends , and then ... more than friends , but she convinced me to sing onstage with her one night . michael : all right , let me stop you right there . you are not quitting law school over a girl . fenmore : you 're rig ht , i 'm not . okay ? we broke up , but i 'm still in love with singing . michael : okay . fenmore , here 's the truth . you have made an extremely impulsive decision that you really have n't thought through yet . fenmore : no , but i have ! okay ? i know how hard it is to make it in the music business , so i 've come up with a sensible and practical plan to streamline my goals , maximize my productivity , stick to a budget . lauren : i 'm afraid to ask . fenmore : i 'm gon na move back in with you guys . michael : [ scoffs , chuckles ] esther : thank you . i 'll be over there . hey , uh , could i get one of your makeovers ? i would just love to see what you would do with this face . mia : oh !

[ sighs ] but you ca n't let it affect you . hope and liam , they would n't want you to do that , and hope ending her marriage is something she 's been thinking about for a long time now . like , there is nothing that you could do to keep them together . hope : liam put so much effort into last night . he had the table set , flowers and candles , and our favorite music . he even made me dinner . brooke : that should prove to you how much he loves you , how much you mean to him . hope : yeah , we talked about that a lot , you know , how much we still do love each other . brooke : okay , well , then why do this ? that 's what makes it so tragic . hope : we had a lot of wonderful times together . so that 's what liam wanted to celebrate -- everything we 've been through . so that 's what we did . we just reminisced and talked about the good times , like our wedding in italy . brooke : you two have some beautiful memories together . he does n't want to say goodbye to you . hope : i know . and i 'll never doubt how he feels about me , but ... it 's time for liam to move on . he and steffy are a family . ridge : um ... sorry , it 's -- it 's hard , uh ... but if you and hope , if that 's behind you , do you think you -- you 're gon na spend more time here ? liam : um , well , my daughter lives here . i would love to spend as much time with kelly and phoebe as possible . ridge : i know this is complicated , and i 'm sorry , i did n't mean to be insensitive . liam : you 're fine . ridge , you 're fine . there 's nothing i can do . hope wants to end the marriage . that 's that . ridge : but maybe that is the right thing to do . for you and for her , and steffy . i mean , she 's , uh ... she 's a good woman . she 's a really , really good mother . liam : she 's a perfect mother . it 's just -- right now , we 're all just trying to do what 's best for the kids , and ... ridge : that 's what you should do , that 's important . liam : and i know that matters to you , and i know you 're steffy 's father , and you 're probably wondering where my head 's at , and ... ridge : what i 'm wondering , liam , what all of us are wondering is what your plan is . liam : i do n't have a plan , man . i 'm just -- i 'm going day to day here , and -- ridge : day to day ? steffy needs you . liam : steffy needs me ? for what ? she -- she 's knocking motherhood out of the park , ridge . i mean , this is a woman who goes into work , she takes command of any board room she walks into . she could run the company with two hands tied behind her back , and then she comes home , and she 's the most patient , devoted , loving mother you could ask for . look -- look at all this . look at what she 's created here . how do you not admire that ? how do i not admire that ? yeah , i 'm -- i 'm lucky to be a part of it , but she does need me ? i 'm i 'm not so sure about that . steffy : oh , okay . yeah , uh , no worries . thanks for letting me know . okay . liam : everything all right ? steffy : yeah , i mean ... no . amelia 's car is still in the shop , and i 'm supposed to take kelly to the pediatrician today , so , uh ... liam : oh . why do n't i just go with you guys ? steffy : well , no , i want to take kelly by herself . i do n't want to bring phoebe there just because of the germs and everything , and i really want to focus on what the doctor is saying . amelia , she was gon na watch phoebe , and , um ... liam : okay , so ... steffy : shoot . liam : wait . i can watch phoebe . steffy : well , do n't you have other things to do ? like , i can reschedule , it 's fine . liam : i insist . listen , i 'm -- i 'm kind of in limbo right now . i do n't really know where my life is headed , but i -- i 'd like to be here as much as you 're comfortable . steffy , this is your home . you 're raising both girls by yourself , and you 're doing a fantastic job of it . i know you do n't need any help , but ... i -- i would like to spend more time with the girls . steffy : i think i 'm speaking for the girls when i said we would really like that . liam : good . steffy : good . well , i , uh ... i have to admit one thing . liam : what ? [ chuckles ] steffy : well , i -- i overheard you talking to my dad . liam : were you eavesdropping on me ? is that you were doing ? steffy : no , no , no . i mean , a little bit . a little bit . but from , uh , what i heard ... i liked it . brooke : my daughter is devastated . she 's devastated . ridge : i 'm sure she is , but ... this is was her decision . brooke : no , this -- [ sighs ] this is not what she wants , ridge . that 's what i 've been trying to get through to you . ridge : i 'm -- i 'm not sure what you 're trying to get through to me anymore . you know i love you , but this -- this was her decision , so i 'm assuming that is what she wants . brooke : no . ridge : no ? brooke : she does n't want this , no . in fact , liam does n't want this , either . he was desperately trying to get through to her , saying that he does n't want to end his marriage . ridge : okay , well , liam is stuck in the middle . brooke : okay . ridge : and liam also showed up at steffy 's when i was there . brooke : so that means he did n't stay there last night ? ridge : what ? no . i do n't know . i do n't know . no . no . brooke : good . i just really want hope to reconsider because i do believe if she walks away from her marriage , it 's only a matter of time before steffy and liam find their way back to each other . ridge : okay , my -- my sweet wife , what else do you believe ? do you believe that steffy takes any joy in this marriage ending ? because that 's not true . brooke : i do n't know . i do n't know . i really don't . i mean , i just -- i do n't understand why this is happening . my daughter should be raising her baby with liam . the whole thing just seems so unfair ! [ sighs ] i do n't understand why ... i do n't understand why she lost beth . hope : flo , hi ! flo : hi . can i , um , come in ? hope : yeah , of course . yeah , hi . it 's good to see you . flo : it 's good to see you , too . hope : um , so ... how is everything ? how is living with eric and quinn ? i mean , we 've hardly had a chance to catch up . flo : it 's great . all of it , it 's great . the job at forrester , living here in l.a. , it 's -- it 's amazing . i feel so lucky . hope : well , i 'm just glad you 're all settled in and you 're actually staying in town . it 's -- it 's really good having you here . i could certainly use some family right about now . flo : yeah . wyatt told me what happened . please tell me it 's not true . you -- you ca n't be ending your marriage . hope : it 's what needed to happen . it 's what best for everyone . so ... liam and i , we said goodbye last night , and , um ... yeah , he 's , um -- he 's not living here anymore . flo : no , hope . hope , please , come on . you ca n't do this . it 's not fair . you -- you ca n't lose your marriage , too . ridge : hey . i know you 're hurting . i know you 're worried about your daughter . i am , too . brooke : she 's making a huge sacrifice . she is giving up her life , she 's giving up her happiness , her future ... ridge : look at me . ridge : this is hard . it 's a very unfortunate situation . but this is what she wants . brooke : no , no , this is -- this is n't what she wants . she 's doing it because she thinks it 's for the best . she thinks it 's for the best for the girls , for steffy , for liam , thomas , and douglas . she 's doing this for everybody but for herself ! rick : well , maybe this is for the best for everyone , including her . brooke : [ sighs ] i -- i refuse to believe that , ridge . ridge : your daughter 's tough . she 's a strong girl . she 's gon na survive this , and , one day , she 's gon na have a family of her own . brooke : she has a family . liam is her family . ridge : there are children who are counting on liam . this is what hope asked for . i mean , if this means that liam and steffy can have another shot , is that so bad , really ? steffy : thanks for getting her down . you have the magic touch . liam : [ chuckles ] honestly , i was kind of hoping she 'd stay awake a little longer . steffy : oh , she 'll be up soon . and then kelly will fall asleep , and then phoebe will be up . it 's kind of like , uh , clockwork around here . liam : nice little tag team they 've got going . steffy : oh , yeah , it gets pretty crazy , especially in the middle of the night . liam : oh , i 'll bet . steffy : yeah . but it 's worth it . i would n't trade being a mom for anything . liam : yeah , why would you ? you 're amazing at it . you 're a natural . it seems so effortless with you . i -- it 's not . i know it 's not . it 's like the hardest job in the world , but ... you pull it off with such grace . i meant every word i said to ridge . i 've never forgotten what a remarkable person you are . flo : hope , you do n't deserve any of this . hope : flo ... it 's okay . really . flo : no , no , it is not okay . you have been through so much already . your little girl was taken from you , and it kills me that that happened . hope : and i appreciate that you 're so sensitive about this . it 's really sweet . i mean , you 've always been so supportive and ... i appreciate it so much . liam and i were gon na be a family , but beth is gone . and that ca n't change , so that dream is over now . flo : you ca n't just give up ! hope : it 's over . that 's it . and i ca n't talk about it anymore because it just -- it gets -- it 's painful for me . flo : i know , i 'm -- i 'm sorry , i just -- i 'm having a really hard time just letting it go . i know that you and liam are meant to be parents . it 's not too late , hope . it ca n't be too late . hope : hey , flo , please . this is just making it really hard on me . flo : no , hope . hope , if you end your marriage over losing your child , i will feel terrible for the rest of my life . hope : you 're acting like you 're responsible when this was n't your doing . flo : yes , it is ! hope : look , if this has anything at all to do with the fact that you gave phoebe to steffy to adopt -- flo : it has everything to do with that , hope . please , please , just listen to me . you can not give up . you ca n't give up on liam . you ca n't give up on having a family . you ca n't give up on having a child . you and liam are meant to have a lovely , beautiful , healthy little baby . i know it , i am so sure of it . somewhere out there , there is a baby , there is a child who is just waiting for you to be its mother . | ridge plays with kelly . steffy tells him that liam and hope celebrated their last night but he did not come over afterwards . liam does soon show up and ca n't wait to hold his girl . hope sits with brooke and tells her that liam made it a very special night . wyatt drops in on flo and finds they still have the house to themselves as eric and quinn have extended their stay elsewhere and shauna is back in vegas for a visit . flo starts off with she needs to know about hope . she has to get back with liam . wyatt says she has a very compassionate heart but they can not control this . there is nothing flo could do to keep them together . finally she says they should not let this opportunity be wasted . ridge tells liam that if he and hope are no longer together he imagines he will be spending more time here . liam says this is not what he wanted but they are all going to do what is best for the kids . ridge tells liam that steffy needs him and as she starts to come into the room she overhears liam say that she is the most wonderful mother anyone can ask for . he 'd like to be part of that but he is not so sure that she actually needs him . brooke tells ridge that her daughter is devastated and he says but it was her decision . brooke says she still hopes hope will reconsider her decision . she is glad to hear that liam did not spend the night at steffy 's . this whole thing is so unfair . | <s>[INST] ridge : so , once upon a time , in a country far , far away , there lived a mean , old , fat , nasty , smelly ogre named bill , and he -- are you smiling at me ? she smiled at me . did you see that ? hi ! steffy : wow , she really adores her grandpa . ridge : yeah , and she 's starting to look like him . now , let me look at you ! [ grunts ] are you starting to look like me ? you are cute ! yes ! yes , you are like -- say `` grandpa . `` can you say `` grandpa ? `` `` grandpa is the best . `` can you say that ? steffy : she 's , uh , really big into `` dada `` these days . ridge : oh , well , that makes sense , too . where is `` dada ? `` i know he had a dinner with hope last night . steffy : he wanted to celebrate their relationship . ridge : even though it 's over ? did you talk to him about that ? steffy : he did n't come over last night , if that 's what you 're getting at . ridge : and you 're okay with that ? steffy : yeah , of course i 'm okay with it , dad . it 's a sad situation , but i do n't take pleasure in the end of hope and liam 's marriage . hope : last night was beautiful . liam made it really special . brooke : he wanted to show you how important your marriage is to him . honey , you do n't have to give up on your life with liam . it does n't have to be you or the girls . you can all have a part in liam 's life . hope : we went into this marriage , the three of us -- liam , me , and our future daughter . she was healthy and strong , growing inside of me when we married , and ... [ sighs ] we were so excited to welcome her into the family , but ... we never got that chance . so ... we ended our marriage last night , just the two of us . without our little girl . wyatt : so , is , uh , she still gone ? you know , my mother is a master at extending her vacations . flo : well , did you see where they 're staying ? i mean , they have two butlers and a private chef . i doubt she had to twist eric 's arm . wyatt : right . and your mom 's still in vegas ? flo : yeah , it looks like she might actually be extending her stay . wyatt : so does that mean we have the whole house to ourself again ? flo : mm - hmm . we do . wyatt : mmm . flo : so maybe you can catch me up on hope and liam . wyatt : oh . right . yeah . those two . flo : i mean , i just -- i just ca n't believe that 's it for them . this is n't how it 's supposed to be . they ca n't just give up on each other . flo : hope and liam are supposed to be together . wyatt : i know , but hope wants liam to be with steffy and the girls . flo : they should never have been put in this position in the first place . wyatt : flo , they 've been struggling to hold onto their marriage for a while now , all right ? ever since they lost their daughter . i -- i wish there was something we could do . flo : something should be done . wyatt : what could we do ? i know you 're her cousin and everything , but ... i know you want to help . i get that , but come on ... flo : if she had beth right now , if she was a mother to beth , none of this would be happening . hope : it 's already done . liam and i are over . brooke : hope , please , listen to me . this is n't the solution . you will regret this , and so will liam . hope : you know , last night did remind me of how wonderful he is . he went out of his way to create this beautiful night to remind us of the love we shared . brooke : and that should prove to you that he does n't want this to end . hope : it 's not about what we want anymore . it 's about what 's best for the children , and liam 's place is with steffy and the girls . liam : hey ! ridge : hey . steffy : oh , liam , hey ! liam : i am sorry to drop in unannounced . is that okay ? steffy : oh , no , of course ! you 're more than welcome . liam : you see her , ridge ? ridge : yeah . i understand she 's been saying `` dada , `` so that 's -- it makes me a little jealous . liam : well , the `` g `` sound is harder . there 's my girl ! oh , come here ! steffy : it 's daddy ! & you want to say hi to daddy ? liam : hey ! steffy : [ groans ] she 's getting big . oh , my god ! liam : oh , you are so big ! oh ! oh , i 'm gon na drop you . oh , my god , you just get cuter and cuter every day ! do i tell you how much i love you enough ? do i tell you that enough ? i do n't know if i tell you that enough . can i -- you know what , i 'm gon na just -- i 'm gon na do funny voices for you . i 'm gon na do -- i 'm gon na ... what -- what 's going on ? what are you guys looking at ? wyatt : you know of the things i love about you , is your big heart . like , your compassion for other people is just -- it 's incredible . flo : i 'm not . really . wyatt : yes , you are , flo . like , you -- you care so much about liam and hope that it 's tearing you up inside , and you do n't have to do that , but it 's sweet . flo : i just -- i just feel guilty . wyatt : for being happy ? flo : yeah , for -- for having you , for this whole new life that i have ... wyatt : why ? okay , fine . let 's -- let 's turn it around . let 's be grateful , right ? for finding each other . for being in this huge house , all alone , again . flo : well , i guess ... i guess when you put it that way ... wyatt : yeah . flo : it would be a shame to put it to waste . wyatt : right ? flo : mm - hmm . wyatt : did that get your mind off things ? flo : it was n't really quite enough . wyatt : oh , okay , so you need more ? flo : yeah , mm - hmm . [ chuckles ] wyatt : what ? what ? flo : we really are living the life , are n't we ? wyatt : yeah . see , that -- that is the attitude , right there . flo : i know , but then ... i still just ca n't help thinking about hope and liam and everything that they 're going through . i know , i know . wyatt : i hear you , i do . i hear you , it 's sad . [ sighs ] but you ca n't let it affect you . hope and liam , they would n't want you to do that , and hope ending her marriage is something she 's been thinking about for a long time now . like , there is nothing that you could do to keep them together . hope : liam put so much effort into last night . he had the table set , flowers and candles , and our favorite music . he even made me dinner . brooke : that should prove to you how much he loves you , how much you mean to him . hope : yeah , we talked about that a lot , you know , how much we still do love each other . brooke : okay , well , then why do this ? that 's what makes it so tragic . hope : we had a lot of wonderful times together . so that 's what liam wanted to celebrate -- everything we 've been through . so that 's what we did . we just reminisced and talked about the good times , like our wedding in italy . brooke : you two have some beautiful memories together . he does n't want to say goodbye to you . hope : i know . and i 'll never doubt how he feels about me , but ... it 's time for liam to move on . he and steffy are a family . ridge : um ... sorry , it 's -- it 's hard , uh ... but if you and hope , if that 's behind you , do you think you -- you 're gon na spend more time here ? liam : um , well , my daughter lives here . i would love to spend as much time with kelly and phoebe as possible . ridge : i know this is complicated , and i 'm sorry , i did n't mean to be insensitive . liam : you 're fine . ridge , you 're fine . there 's nothing i can do . hope wants to end the marriage . that 's that . ridge : but maybe that is the right thing to do . for you and for her , and steffy . i mean , she 's , uh ... she 's a good woman . she 's a really , really good mother . liam : she 's a perfect mother . it 's just -- right now , we 're all just trying to do what 's best for the kids , and ... ridge : that 's what you should do , that 's important . liam : and i know that matters to you , and i know you 're steffy 's father , and you 're probably wondering where my head 's at , and ... ridge : what i 'm wondering , liam , what all of us are wondering is what your plan is . liam : i do n't have a plan , man . i 'm just -- i 'm going day to day here , and -- ridge : day to day ? steffy needs you . liam : steffy needs me ? for what ? she -- she 's knocking motherhood out of the park , ridge . i mean , this is a woman who goes into work , she takes command of any board room she walks into . she could run the company with two hands tied behind her back , and then she comes home , and she 's the most patient , devoted , loving mother you could ask for . look -- look at all this . look at what she 's created here . how do you not admire that ? how do i not admire that ? yeah , i 'm -- i 'm lucky to be a part of it , but she does need me ? i 'm i 'm not so sure about that . steffy : oh , okay . yeah , uh , no worries . thanks for letting me know . okay . liam : everything all right ? steffy : yeah , i mean ... no . amelia 's car is still in the shop , and i 'm supposed to take kelly to the pediatrician today , so , uh ... liam : oh . why do n't i just go with you guys ? steffy : well , no , i want to take kelly by herself . i do n't want to bring phoebe there just because of the germs and everything , and i really want to focus on what the doctor is saying . amelia , she was gon na watch phoebe , and , um ... liam : okay , so ... steffy : shoot . liam : wait . i can watch phoebe . steffy : well , do n't you have other things to do ? like , i can reschedule , it 's fine . liam : i insist . listen , i 'm -- i 'm kind of in limbo right now . i do n't really know where my life is headed , but i -- i 'd like to be here as much as you 're comfortable . steffy , this is your home . you 're raising both girls by yourself , and you 're doing a fantastic job of it . i know you do n't need any help , but ... i -- i would like to spend more time with the girls . steffy : i think i 'm speaking for the girls when i said we would really like that . liam : good . steffy : good . well , i , uh ... i have to admit one thing . liam : what ?

steffy : thanks for getting her down . you have the magic touch . liam : [ chuckles ] honestly , i was kind of hoping she 'd stay awake a little longer . steffy : oh , she 'll be up soon . and then kelly will fall asleep , and then phoebe will be up . it 's kind of like , uh , clockwork around here . liam : nice little tag team they 've got going . steffy : oh , yeah , it gets pretty crazy , especially in the middle of the night . liam : oh , i 'll bet . steffy : yeah . but it 's worth it . i would n't trade being a mom for anything . liam : yeah , why would you ? you 're amazing at it . you 're a natural . it seems so effortless with you . i -- it 's not . i know it 's not . it 's like the hardest job in the world , but ... you pull it off with such grace . i meant every word i said to ridge . i 've never forgotten what a remarkable person you are . flo : hope , you do n't deserve any of this . hope : flo ... it 's okay . really . flo : no , no , it is not okay . you have been through so much already . your little girl was taken from you , and it kills me that that happened . hope : and i appreciate that you 're so sensitive about this . it 's really sweet . i mean , you 've always been so supportive and ... i appreciate it so much . liam and i were gon na be a family , but beth is gone . and that ca n't change , so that dream is over now . flo : you ca n't just give up ! hope : it 's over . that 's it . and i ca n't talk about it anymore because it just -- it gets -- it 's painful for me . flo : i know , i 'm -- i 'm sorry , i just -- i 'm having a really hard time just letting it go . i know that you and liam are meant to be parents . it 's not too late , hope . it ca n't be too late . hope : hey , flo , please . this is just making it really hard on me . flo : no , hope . hope , if you end your marriage over losing your child , i will feel terrible for the rest of my life . hope : you 're acting like you 're responsible when this was n't your doing . flo : yes , it is ! hope : look , if this has anything at all to do with the fact that you gave phoebe to steffy to adopt -- flo : it has everything to do with that , hope . please , please , just listen to me . you can not give up . you ca n't give up on liam . you ca n't give up on having a family . you ca n't give up on having a child . you and liam are meant to have a lovely , beautiful , healthy little baby . i know it , i am so sure of it . somewhere out there , there is a baby , there is a child who is just waiting for you to be its mother .Summarize.[/INST]ridge plays with kelly . steffy tells him that liam and hope celebrated their last night but he did not come over afterwards . liam does soon show up and ca n't wait to hold his girl . hope sits with brooke and tells her that liam made it a very special night . wyatt drops in on flo and finds they still have the house to themselves as eric and quinn have extended their stay elsewhere and shauna is back in vegas for a visit . flo starts off with she needs to know about hope . she has to get back with liam . wyatt says she has a very compassionate heart but they can not control this . there is nothing flo could do to keep them together . finally she says they should not let this opportunity be wasted . ridge tells liam that if he and hope are no longer together he imagines he will be spending more time here . liam says this is not what he wanted but they are all going to do what is best for the kids . ridge tells liam that steffy needs him and as she starts to come into the room she overhears liam say that she is the most wonderful mother anyone can ask for . he 'd like to be part of that but he is not so sure that she actually needs him . brooke tells ridge that her daughter is devastated and he says but it was her decision . brooke says she still hopes hope will reconsider her decision . she is glad to hear that liam did not spend the night at steffy 's . this whole thing is so unfair .</s> | 418 |

[ scene_break ] patrick : look , i do n't want to pry . elizabeth : but you 're going to . patrick : i just have noticed that you 've been a little distracted lately , or worried . there 's something on your mind , and i 'm your friend . i just want to make sure that you 're okay . elizabeth : thank you . i appreciate that . but i 'm fine . it 's -- i 'm just thinking about jake , that 's all . patrick : he get shot at again ? elizabeth : no , thank god . and he 's been cleared of any involvement in duke 's shooting , so between that and not working for julian anymore , he 's no longer a target . patrick : that 's got to be a relief for you and the boys . elizabeth : oh , you have no idea . i just hope this new job is a good fit . patrick : yeah , i got to be honest -- i 'm a little surprised that michael gave him the job of head of security at elq . elizabeth : wait . you know he 's working at elq ? how did you find out ? [ scene_break ] tracy : so we have our man -- or woman ! sam : man . it 's definitely a man . tracy : and ? who is rosalie taking orders from ? sam : i do n't know . the call was cut off abruptly . i was n't able to hear enough to identify his voice , but ... tracy : but what ? sam : [ sighs ] something seemed familiar about his voice . [ scene_break ] lulu : nikolas , what a nice surprise . come in . mm ! what are you doing here ? nikolas : well , um ... our mother paid me a visit yesterday -- unexpected , since i thought she was still in paris . anyway , she told me that she crashed luke and tracy 's engagement party just to tell luke that she wanted him back . and he agreed ? our mother and luke are back together ? lulu : i was there . still ca n't wrap my head around it . nikolas : yeah . oh , i 'm sorry . you have a guest . lulu : no . nikolas : dillon . dillon : how 's it going , nikolas ? nikolas : been a long time . [ flashback ] nikolas : dillon is back in town right now . elizabeth : with his 11.5 % of elq . nikolas : i 'm so close to a majority , i can taste it . [ back to present ] nikolas : is n't this a nice surprise . [ scene_break ] kiki : okay , um , where did that come from ? i know you 're my dad and everything , but do n't you think you 're being a little bit too overprotective ? silas : you made an honest mistake . that 's nothing to feel guilty about . i mean , people jump to conclusions in relationships all the time , especially early on . kiki : yeah , well , it 's not really early for me and morgan anymore . silas : well , there was the whole marriage that he rushed you into while withholding the truth about you being my daughter . kiki : yeah , well , things were complicated . silas : the point is , you and morgan are still trying to figure out how to trust each other ... or not . sweetheart , if you came here looking for advice ... i 'm the first to admit i 'm ... not the best judge relationship - wise . kiki : i just need to hear that i 'm not being totally selfish for turning down this trip that morgan was planning . silas : you do n't want to go ? kiki : i just -- i told him that i would prefer not to leave town while my aunt denise is still here . and he was not too thrilled with my decision . [ scene_break ] sonny : morgan , is there more trouble between you and your brother ? morgan : no , just the opposite . i told you that me and michael called a truce . actually , i pushed my luck . i gave him a call , i asked him if kiki and i could visit avery , and he agreed to that . sonny : so you 've seen your baby sister ? morgan : no , no , no . not yet . i mean , we got to set a time . but he already let denise visit . you know , he 's gon na let me and kiki visit . so i figured that , you know , i could ask him if you could visit , too . sonny : i appreciate what you 're doing , but i do n't think it 's a good idea . morgan : why is that not a good idea ? sonny : he 's made it clear he does n't want me in avery 's life . morgan : okay , he 's eased up on me . why would he not ease up on you ? sonny : too much has happened . morgan : okay . sonny : i already asked for his forgiveness . you were -- how many times ? he does n't want to give it to me . last thing i want you to do is piss off your brother for my sake . he 's ready to let you see avery , right ? morgan : mm - hmm . sonny : why are you gon na jeopardize , asking him for something that he ca n't give ? morgan : that 's all i 'm saying . i 'm not going to jeopardize anything . sonny : he does n't want me in his life . but at least i have some peace knowing ... that he 's part of yours . morgan : dad , you and i ... as far as i 'm concerned , we 're a package deal . sonny : i get what you 're saying . morgan : but i got to do something . i got to try to make things right . [ scene_break ] michael : look , i 'm afraid this is not a good time for you to visit my sister . aj : well , i do n't understand ... 'cause you said that i could be a part of avery 's life . michael : actually , her name 's aj . ava : yeah . yeah , i remember . but why have you changed your mind about me ? michael : look , when we spoke before , i gave you my card . i told you to call me here at the office to set up a meeting . but you did n't . you went straight to the house . sabrina was n't expecting you , and i did n't give my permission . sabrina did the right thing by turning you away . ava : no , wait , wait , wait ! that little baby , she 's my flesh and blood . and you 're talking about scheduling appointments . i - i do n't understand why we got to be so formal . do you think that i 'm dangerous or something ? michael : look , technically , yes , you are related to aj , but you are still a stranger . ava : i 'm her aunt ! michael : yes , and i know next to nothing about you . look , i 'm aj 's guardian , okay ? i 'm ... [ sighs ] i 'm not opposed to you visiting my sister . i just need to be present to supervise . ava : okay . so let 's go to your place . i 'll see the baby , and you can supervise to your heart 's content . michael : that 's not gon na happen . i - i am in the middle of a major business situation here . you still have my card , though , right ? ava : yeah , yeah , i got it . but whatever this business situation is , you know , maybe you could -- michael : just call -- just call the office , and we 'll set up another visit . ava : when ? michael : i ca n't give you anything definitive right now . my assistant handles my calendar . [ telephone rings ] michael : i got to take this . i 'm sure you can see yourself out . [ ringing continues ] michael : hey , i 'm sorry you got cut off before . i 've dealt with the interruption . so you know who hired sam ? what ? [ scene_break ] tracy : sam , i do n't understand . sam : mm - hmm . tracy : if the voice on the phone sounded familiar , why ca n't you identify it ? sam : because i only heard him say `` hello . `` tracy : [ scoffs ] then what 's our next move ? sam : i do n't know . i do n't know . this is obviously someone that we know . it wo n't be long until we figure out who 's trying to take over elq . [ scene_break ] [ camera shutter clicks ] nikolas : seems like rocco gets bigger every time i see him . lulu : his daycare teacher says that he 's a born leader . nikolas : oh , gosh . thank you . sorry . dillon : oh , thanks . nikolas : [ grunts ] so ... ... you both were at the engagement party when my mother made her grand entrance ? dillon : it was unexpected , to say the least . nikolas : i 'll bet . i was under the impression that luke and laura parted on good terms ... meaning that they were civil with each other , but lived completely separate lives , no ? lulu : yeah , that 's what i thought , too . nikolas : she tried to explain the reconciliation to me , but she was vague at best . did she offer you any insight ? lulu : no , not -- not exactly . nikolas : well , what about your father ? lulu : [ sighs ] nikolas : it seems like he went from pledging his love to tracy to dumping her for laura in , what , 10 minutes . how does that happen ? dillon : this is luke spencer we 're talking about here . i mean , he probably would n't be able to explain it even if he was here to do it . nikolas : he 's not ? dillon : luke and laura went on a , uh , romantic holiday to celebrate their reunion . they left town ... together . nikolas : they what ? she was supposed to come back to the house and visit with spencer . lulu : um , i think it was a spur - of - the - moment decision . nikolas : now , this does n't make any sense . why would they reconcile , then turn around and leave ? most of their family is right here in port charles . lulu : you know how those two are ? nikolas : [ chuckles nervously ] [ sighs ] no offense . [ chuckles ] your father is thoughtless and selfish . but our mother is different . there has to be a good reason why she left . dillon : you 're right . there is . [ scene_break ] silas : i 'm sorry morgan 's disappointed , but it seems to me like you have a very valid reason for staying in town . kiki : i know , but ... he was trying to do something nice for me , and i shot him down after i accused him of keeping secrets . silas : well , you know , it 's nice that you consider your family a priority . morgan should understand that , considering how focused he is on his own family . kiki : i ... [ sighs ] i guess . silas : no , do n't guess . listen , if you ask me , he is lucky to have someone as amazing as you in his life . kiki : you have to say that . you 're my father . silas : no , if it was n't true , i would n't say anything . kiki : [ laughs ] right , you got me . you are one crappy liar . [ laughs ] oh ! thank you for the advice . i 'm just gon na enjoy my time here with my aunt denise , and then morgan and i can go away some other time . silas : that sounds good . kiki : am i gon na see you later ? silas : depends how my rotation goes here . kiki : all right . sounds good to me . i 'll see you later . silas : i 'll see you . kiki : bye . silas : thanks for lunch . [ flashback ] silas : she 's finally picking up the pieces with morgan , and now that lying little tool is messing around with her fake aunt behind her back ? ava : your chivalry is admirable ... although it might mean more coming from a man who had n't cheated on his wife ! silas : i 'm a father ! i 'm allowed to be as hypocritical as i want when it comes to my daughter . [ scene_break ] ava : `` you still have my card . `` `` my assistant takes care of my calendar . `` what are you looking at ? you may have won this time . but do n't count me out . never count me out . your great - grandson just ran out of here like a bat out of hell , and i have to make an appointment to see my own child . i got to hand it to michael , though . he 's no dummy . why pick a fight when you can stonewall ? i already know how this is gon na go . i 'll get my visits when he 's available to supervise , what , once a month , if i 'm lucky . if he thinks that over time , i 'll lose interest and go away , well , he thinks wrong . that is my child . that is my daughter . and i will be a part of her life if i have to rip your house apart brick by brick . you hear me , old man ? morgan : denise ? [ scene_break ] jake : whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa . what are you doing ? where are you going ? michael : where do you think ? you just told me that tracy 's trying to steal elq out from under me . jake : hey , count to 10 . okay ? count to 10 . michael : what ? jake : you do n't have the luxury of anger , so put your feelings to the side for the moment , breathe . think about it . the longer we play dumb , the more likely tracy is gon na be careless . just relax . michael : okay , now , i hear what you 're saying , but the way to deal with the quartermaines , especially tracy , is to confront them head on . [ door opens ] jake : michael , could you just ... tracy : michael . michael : i know exactly what you 've been up to ! [ scene_break ] patrick : sam mentioned that she ran into jake in michael 's office , and they talked about his new job . elizabeth : oh , right . yeah , jake mentioned he ran into her . patrick : yeah . kind of shocking to me , honestly , michael hiring jake as a head of security at elq . he 's got a criminal record , a blank résumé . elizabeth : um ... well , i ... they met while jake was staying here in the hospital , and i guess they hit it off ... patrick : yeah . elizabeth : ... which does n't surprise me , 'cause jake is a really nice guy . patrick : ha ha ha . you sound like sam . elizabeth : mm . patrick : speaking of , did jake mention that sam wants the four of us to have dinner together ? i think it 's a grand plan for me to get to know jake under different circumstances . you know -- when he 's not getting shot at . elizabeth : i heard about the invitation , yes . patrick : what do you think -- the four of us , dinner date ? elizabeth : actually , i do n't think it 's a good idea . patrick : why not ? [ scene_break ] [ door closes ] michael : you know , i convinced myself that you learned your lesson . after all that misery with luke , that you 'd realized that your first loyalty should be to the family , but you know what ? i should have known better . tracy : what are you talking about ? michael : oh , just admit it . you 're the one who 's been after elq this whole time . [ scene_break ] nikolas : you know why luke and laura left town . dillon : luke and laura did n't just reconnect . they 're engaged . nikolas : what ? my mother and luke spencer are getting remarried ? dillon : they said they were leaving town to go on a romantic holiday , but i think the real reason they left was for my mother 's sake . they had already jilted her publicly at her engagement party . there was no use in humiliating her more , staying in port charles , especially now that luke was marrying laura instead of her . nikolas : well , dillon , i ca n't speak for my mother , but what i can say is that i 'm sorry tracy got hurt . dillon : that 's nice of you , considering . i know my mother was never overly gracious towards you or any of the cassadines . nikolas : maybe not , but tracy did n't deserve what luke and my mother did to her . i wish there were some way i could make it up to you and your family . dillon : thank you . that 's not your responsibility . nikolas : anyway , let 's talk about something a little happier . what about ... what about that film career you got going on ? dillon : ups and downs . i 've worked on some good projects . i 've also had some that have stalled out . i 've got a great script that i would love to get off the ground if i could just get the financing to back it . nikolas : you 're a quartermaine . you 've got all the financing you need . dillon : first rule of indie films -- never put your own money into it . i would ask my mother to invest , but i just ca n't do that after everything luke has put her through . nikolas : well , then there you go . i know how i can make it up to you . dillon : how 's that ? nikolas : what if we could make an arrangement ... for me to finance your film ? lulu : you want to finance dillon 's movie ? nikolas : yes . why do you find that so hard to believe ? lulu : i think it 's a little surprising . movies , entertainment -- this is not something my brother does . nikolas : it 's a business opportunity . and let 's be quite frank -- my uncle victor 's disastrous clinic project cost the cassadines dearly . i 've been looking for other ways to diversify our assets . lulu : by financing a movie ? dillon : it 's a very generous offer , but i got to be honest with you -- i make mumblecore films . nikolas : i 'm sorry . mumble what ? lulu : do n't look at me . nikolas : i do n't know anything about -- dillon : mumblecore . joe swanberg , the duplass brothers . lulu : no . dillon : it 's a low - budget niche genre . not blockbusters . very independent . i 'm lucky if i break even . so i do n't know if you would make your return if you invested the money . nikolas : hey , listen , let 's not dismiss the opportunity just yet . i mean , you 're a filmmaker . let 's get creative , shall we ? dillon : okay . what do you have in mind ? nikolas : perhaps i can ... make a different kind of arrangement for financing . dillon : different how ? nikolas : i do n't know . you still own voting stock at elq , correct ? [ scene_break ] tracy : are you out of your mind , michael ? i am not trying to steal elq from you . michael : right , because that would be so out of character . sam : michael , where is this coming from ? michael : when you gave your shares up to jerry jacks , was that just an act ? i mean , how could you betray alice like that ? sam : hey , hey , michael . listen to me . tracy is not responsible for what 's going on at elq right now . michael : now , see , that 's the part that does n't fit here , because i would expect this betrayal from tracy . but you ? sam , how could you work against me ? sam : me ? you ? i would n't . you know that . michael : elq is n't only my inheritance . it 's danny 's , too . what would jason think about this ? sam : michael , please , please . listen to me , please . michael : you planted a bug in rosalie 's phone . sam : you know about that ? michael : yes , i do . jake caught you in the act . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : what i meant to say is that i do n't know if it 's a really good time for -- patrick : i get it . elizabeth : you do ? patrick : yeah . you and sam have history . you both have children from the same person , that being jason . i would imagine that would get awkward at times . elizabeth : yes . patrick : [ breathes deeply ] look ... [ clears throat ] i do n't really have to tell you how i ... felt about jake -- his propensity for violence , the fact that he gets shot at . did n't really think very highly of him in the beginning . but he 's always been cordial . he 's always been polite and nice to me ... forthcoming , except for that weird thing where he had a vision of him and sam in bed , which we never really got answers for , did we ? elizabeth : no , no . but i know that was just a side effect from helena 's conditioning , 'cause , you know , there 's never been anything between jake and sam , so ... patrick : yeah , i never thought that there was . i just think it 's funny that they 're colleagues now ... working on the same side . elizabeth : i 'm sorry . what did you just say ? [ scene_break ] sam : well played . i actually thought i got away with planting that bug . jake : that was the idea , thank you . sam : i was just doing my job . and for the record , you know that i would never do anything to hurt you . you are too important to danny and me . michael : okay , so , then how do you explain the bug ? tracy : it was planted for your benefit . sam : not only is tracy not working against you , she 's not even the one who hired me . michael : okay . then who the hell did ? sabrina : i did . [ scene_break ] sonny : hey , kiki . kiki : hey , mr. corinthos . sonny : you looking for morgan ? kiki : yeah . he said he was gon na meet you here for lunch . sonny : yeah , um ... you just missed him . kiki : [ sarcastically ] great . he left this at my house . i was hoping i could get it back to him before he left . sonny : well , you could probably catch up with him at elq . [ scene_break ] ava : morgan , hey . yeah , uh , w - what a surprise . what are you doing here ? morgan : um , i was just -- i was gon na talk to my brother about something . what are you -- what are you doing ? are you yelling at edward 's portrait ? ava : [ laughs ] yeah , no . no , that 's funny , no . i just ... i 'm venting , that 's all . morgan : about what ? ava : [ breathes deeply ] it 's your brother . he wo n't let me see my niece unless he 's there to supervise , and he ca n't be there to supervise right now 'cause he 's got some kind of business crisis or something . morgan : mm . ava : yeah , well , you know ... but i should have known better than to get my hopes up . it was so nice the other night . i just rang the doorbell , and i introduced myself . and you let me into the house , and ... he let me hold her . oh , god , she 's so beautiful . and happy . just smiling away . and i swear , i looked into her eyes , and ... and i know it . i know she knew who i was . and i thought -- i do n't know . [ voice breaking ] i just thought that i 'd be able to see her all the time and that i 'd be able to be a part of her life . and now we 're talking about scheduling appointments and having supervision and ... what kind of relationship is that ? i mean , who knows when i 'm gon na be able to even ho -- hold her again ? ! [ sobbing ] morgan : hey , hey . it 's okay . ava : [ breathing heavily ] [ scene_break ] elizabeth : sam and jake are working on the same side ? patrick : forget i said anything . patrick : elizabeth , i got to get to my rounds . elizabeth : no , please . this is important . i was under the impression that jake was just doing security for elq . and if he 's working with sam , sam 's a pi , and there might be something danger -- is there -- are they investigating something ? patrick : please , do n't make me do this . elizabeth : you remember that jake is not conscious of risk . so if there is something dangerous , it might not occur to him to tell me . patrick : i do n't think there 's anything dangerous going on . elizabeth : then what do you think is going on ? [ sighs ] patrick : you promise this stays between us ? elizabeth : of course . [ scene_break ] michael : sabrina , what ? why would you hire sam to spy on me ? sabrina : i did n't hire sam to spy on you . i hired her to spy on rosalie . michael : why ? is this because rosalie and i , we -- tracy : oh , please , michael ! give sabrina some credit . she 's not jealous . she thinks your assistant is a traitor . michael : no ! no way , no . rosalie has gone above and beyond for me . she 's always had my back . sabrina : okay , well , she might have at one point , but i believe that rosalie only took the job at elq so that she could feed information to whoever 's trying to take over the company . michael : sabrina , i - i appreciate your concern here , okay ? but i trust rosalie . she 's always been loyal to the company , she 's been loyal to me . sabrina : okay , well , that 's exactly the reason why i did n't want to share my concerns with you until i had proof . michael : did you find any ? sam : rosalie told you that nina refused to sell her shares , right ? michael : yeah , that 's right . sam : okay , well , that happened to be the same day that she paid off a very large hotel bill at the metro court . come on . sabrina : franco insisted that nina sold the shares . tracy : which means that rosalie must have bought the shares on behalf of whoever 's trying to take over the company . michael : so ... [ sighs ] rosalie has been playing me this whole time ? sabrina : look , michael , we 're gon na get to the bottom of this . i promise you . tracy : together . we 're a family . and as a united front ... whoever this corporate raider is does n't stand a chance , michael . [ scene_break ] dillon : i do have stock in elq . nikolas : i do n't know if you know this , but a few years ago , tracy and i were partners in a business venture together . lulu : relish . nikolas : that 's a very good memory , lulu . thanks . anyway , tracy explained to me that edward divided the voting stock among various generations of quartermaines . how much did you get , if you do n't mind me asking ? dillon : my generation , the grandchildren -- we got the largest share . ned , myself , aj , and jason each got 11.5 % . no offense , but no movie is worth that much . nikolas : i certainly have to agree there . but you , uh ... you have a production company , do n't you ? lulu : wait . a production company ? when did that happen ? congratulations . dillon : it 's just an llc . it mainly exists for tax purposes . nikolas : well , then there you go . what if ... i bankrolled your company ? say three films over the next five years . and then in exchange , i get a more stable investment . dillon : and what are you thinking ? nikolas : half percent of your voting stock at elq ? [ scene_break ] kiki : elq ? why would morgan be there ? sonny : well , morgan 's trying to convince michael to let me see avery . kiki : yeah , maybe . i mean , he convinced michael to let us see avery . come on . we just have to call and set up a date . sonny : well , you know , it 's great that you two can see avery . i 'm just hoping maybe i could do the same . kiki : i 'm so sorry about everything . sonny : no , no , no . kiki : you 've sacrificed so much for me and morgan . and , really , we never meant for this to get so out of hand . sonny : i think we should just count our blessings that nobody got hurt . kiki : absolutely . i ... i 'm grateful every day . and who knows ? maybe michael will come around eventually . morgan could get him to change his mind ... if he 's keeping himself out of trouble over there . [ scene_break ] ava : i should go . morgan : yeah , this ca n't happen again . ava : no , it ca n't . oh , hey . morgan : hmm ? you did n't say nothing to kiki , did you ? morgan : no , no . no way . i really do hate lying to her , but it would just hurt her for no reason . i do n't want to do that to her . ava : neither do i . morgan : thank you . you just look -- you look so much like ava . you do . it 's like i look in your eyes , and all the feelings i felt about it , they come back . like , all the baggage that destroyed us is gone . all i see is the beginning . and , god , the beginning was just so full of ... ava : [ voice breaking ] hope ? morgan : yeah . ava : yeah , no . morgan , we ca n't do this . it 's wrong . it 's wrong ! morgan : i know . [ scene_break ] sonny : so , what kind of trouble can morgan get into at elq ? he claims that he and michael have reached a good place . a meeting of the minds , if you will . kiki : yes , they did -- at the gym after a couple of rounds . sonny : oh ! is there anything i should be worried about ? kiki : mm , probably not . i do n't know . i 'll just feel a heck of a lot better when i get this back to him . and i 'll make sure that he 's keeping his hands to himself . [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] [ morgan & ava make out on michael 's couch ] [ scene_break ] sam : so , you spotted me planting a bug . you did n't really give anything away in the conversation we had . i 've got to say i 'm ... almost impressed . jake : you 're almost impressed ? i caught you , and you did n't even know . sam : well , it 's too bad you jumped to all the wrong conclusions about what i was up to . jake : well , no , not exactly . i was right about you working behind michael 's back . no one said it was gon na be my job to know what your intentions are or what was going on in your little brain . sam : touché . jake : mm - hmm . sam : maybe we 're both not half as bad at what we do after all . sabrina : michael , i 'm sorry that i did n't tell you what i was doing . michael : no , look , you tried to warn me about rosalie , and i refused to listen . no , thank you for not giving up . tracy : i 'm sure this is all very heartwarming , but could we focus on the crisis at hand ? while we 've been busy chasing each other 's tails , the real enemy has made some serious inroads . michael : well , that ends now . whoever rosalie is reporting to is the one who 's trying to raid the company . we need to find out who it is before it 's too late . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : so it was sabrina who hired sam to figure out who rosalie is working for ? patrick : mm - hmm . elizabeth : any leads ? patrick : not that i know of . but you know sam . she 's good at her job . i 'm sure she 'll come up with something any minute . [ cell phone beeping ] patrick : okay . i really do have to go . lucas needs me for a consult . so ... let me know what happens with this whole double - date thing . maybe we should go through with it . you never know -- we could surprise ourselves and have fun . elizabeth : anything 's possible . [ cell phone buzzing ] [ scene_break ] dillon : i 'm not so sure about giving up my elq shares . i mean , it 's my family 's legacy . nikolas : no , no , no . i would never dream of taking that away from you . i just want a return on an investment that 's worth my while , that 's all . lulu : i know you 're just trying to help , nikolas , but having lived with the quartermaines , i know firsthand how much elq means to them . and tracy would freak out if she thought that dillon was trying to sell off his stock . nikolas : we 're only talking about a half percent here . he retains the remaining 11 . think about it . dillon : believe me , i am . nikolas : it 's a fair exchange for continuing to do what you love ... with the autonomy of working outside of the studio system . i mean ... if someone offered me this trade , i 'd jump at the chance . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : it 's me . i know who hired sam . it 's sabrina santiago , michael 's girlfriend . they do n't know who rosalie is working for yet , but they are moving in on you . so if you 're gon na make a move on elq , you do n't have a lot of time .

[ silas remembers ] ava : we kissed . silas : you kissed our daughter 's boyfriend ? ! ava : no , i told you -- i had no idea that morgan and kiki were back together . silas : well , you may not have , but that horny little bastard sure as hell did .

[ scene_break ] michael : denise , if you 'd like to talk to my assistant about setting up a meeting , i -- ava : oh , come on ! scheduling a meeting ? i thought we were getting along like gangbusters . michael : yes . yes . aj did like meeting her aunt . ava : yeah , okay , so ... then why did mary poppins bar me from seeing her yesterday ? michael : well , probably 'cause she was n't expecting you . ava : oh . well , you can tell your holier - than - thou babysitter to expect me today . come on , call her . and tell her i can see my niece .

[ scene_break ] tracy : so we have our man -- or woman ! sam : man . it 's definitely a man . tracy : and ? who is rosalie taking orders from ? sam : i do n't know . the call was cut off abruptly . i was n't able to hear enough to identify his voice , but ... tracy : but what ? sam : [ sighs ] something seemed familiar about his voice . [ scene_break ] lulu : nikolas , what a nice surprise . come in . mm ! what are you doing here ? nikolas : well , um ... our mother paid me a visit yesterday -- unexpected , since i thought she was still in paris . anyway , she told me that she crashed luke and tracy 's engagement party just to tell luke that she wanted him back . and he agreed ? our mother and luke are back together ? lulu : i was there . still ca n't wrap my head around it . nikolas : yeah . oh , i 'm sorry . you have a guest . lulu : no . nikolas : dillon . dillon : how 's it going , nikolas ? nikolas : been a long time .

[ scene_break ] kiki : okay , um , where did that come from ? i know you 're my dad and everything , but do n't you think you 're being a little bit too overprotective ? silas : you made an honest mistake . that 's nothing to feel guilty about . i mean , people jump to conclusions in relationships all the time , especially early on . kiki : yeah , well , it 's not really early for me and morgan anymore . silas : well , there was the whole marriage that he rushed you into while withholding the truth about you being my daughter . kiki : yeah , well , things were complicated . silas : the point is , you and morgan are still trying to figure out how to trust each other ... or not . sweetheart , if you came here looking for advice ... i 'm the first to admit i 'm ... not the best judge relationship - wise . kiki : i just need to hear that i 'm not being totally selfish for turning down this trip that morgan was planning . silas : you do n't want to go ? kiki : i just -- i told him that i would prefer not to leave town while my aunt denise is still here . and he was not too thrilled with my decision . [ scene_break ] sonny : morgan , is there more trouble between you and your brother ? morgan : no , just the opposite . i told you that me and michael called a truce . actually , i pushed my luck . i gave him a call , i asked him if kiki and i could visit avery , and he agreed to that . sonny : so you 've seen your baby sister ? morgan : no , no , no . not yet . i mean , we got to set a time . but he already let denise visit . you know , he 's gon na let me and kiki visit . so i figured that , you know , i could ask him if you could visit , too . sonny : i appreciate what you 're doing , but i do n't think it 's a good idea . morgan : why is that not a good idea ? sonny : he 's made it clear he does n't want me in avery 's life . morgan : okay , he 's eased up on me . why would he not ease up on you ? sonny : too much has happened . morgan : okay . sonny : i already asked for his forgiveness . you were -- how many times ? he does n't want to give it to me . last thing i want you to do is piss off your brother for my sake . he 's ready to let you see avery , right ? morgan : mm - hmm . sonny : why are you gon na jeopardize , asking him for something that he ca n't give ? morgan : that 's all i 'm saying . i 'm not going to jeopardize anything . sonny : he does n't want me in his life . but at least i have some peace knowing ... that he 's part of yours . morgan : dad , you and i ... as far as i 'm concerned , we 're a package deal . sonny : i get what you 're saying . morgan : but i got to do something . i got to try to make things right . [ scene_break ] michael : look , i 'm afraid this is not a good time for you to visit my sister . aj : well , i do n't understand ...

[ sighs ] i 'm not opposed to you visiting my sister . i just need to be present to supervise . ava : okay . so let 's go to your place . i 'll see the baby , and you can supervise to your heart 's content . michael : that 's not gon na happen . i - i am in the middle of a major business situation here . you still have my card , though , right ? ava : yeah , yeah , i got it . but whatever this business situation is , you know , maybe you could -- michael : just call -- just call the office , and we 'll set up another visit . ava : when ? michael : i ca n't give you anything definitive right now . my assistant handles my calendar .

[ chuckles ] your father is thoughtless and selfish . but our mother is different . there has to be a good reason why she left . dillon : you 're right . there is . [ scene_break ] silas : i 'm sorry morgan 's disappointed , but it seems to me like you have a very valid reason for staying in town . kiki : i know , but ... he was trying to do something nice for me , and i shot him down after i accused him of keeping secrets . silas : well , you know , it 's nice that you consider your family a priority . morgan should understand that , considering how focused he is on his own family . kiki : i ... [ sighs ] i guess . silas : no , do n't guess . listen , if you ask me , he is lucky to have someone as amazing as you in his life . kiki : you have to say that . you 're my father . silas : no , if it was n't true , i would n't say anything . kiki : [ laughs ] right , you got me . you are one crappy liar .

[ scene_break ] ava : `` you still have my card . `` `` my assistant takes care of my calendar . `` what are you looking at ? you may have won this time . but do n't count me out . never count me out . your great - grandson just ran out of here like a bat out of hell , and i have to make an appointment to see my own child . i got to hand it to michael , though . he 's no dummy . why pick a fight when you can stonewall ? i already know how this is gon na go . i 'll get my visits when he 's available to supervise , what , once a month , if i 'm lucky . if he thinks that over time , i 'll lose interest and go away , well , he thinks wrong . that is my child . that is my daughter . and i will be a part of her life if i have to rip your house apart brick by brick . you hear me , old man ? morgan : denise ?

[ scene_break ] [ door closes ] michael : you know , i convinced myself that you learned your lesson . after all that misery with luke , that you 'd realized that your first loyalty should be to the family , but you know what ? i should have known better . tracy : what are you talking about ? michael : oh , just admit it . you 're the one who 's been after elq this whole time . [ scene_break ] nikolas : you know why luke and laura left town . dillon : luke and laura did n't just reconnect . they 're engaged . nikolas : what ? my mother and luke spencer are getting remarried ? dillon : they said they were leaving town to go on a romantic holiday , but i think the real reason they left was for my mother 's sake . they had already jilted her publicly at her engagement party . there was no use in humiliating her more , staying in port charles , especially now that luke was marrying laura instead of her . nikolas : well , dillon , i ca n't speak for my mother , but what i can say is that i 'm sorry tracy got hurt . dillon : that 's nice of you , considering . i know my mother was never overly gracious towards you or any of the cassadines . nikolas : maybe not , but tracy did n't deserve what luke and my mother did to her . i wish there were some way i could make it up to you and your family . dillon : thank you . that 's not your responsibility . nikolas : anyway , let 's talk about something a little happier . what about ... what about that film career you got going on ? dillon : ups and downs . i 've worked on some good projects . i 've also had some that have stalled out . i 've got a great script that i would love to get off the ground if i could just get the financing to back it . nikolas : you 're a quartermaine . you 've got all the financing you need . dillon : first rule of indie films -- never put your own money into it . i would ask my mother to invest , but i just ca n't do that after everything luke has put her through . nikolas : well , then there you go . i know how i can make it up to you . dillon : how 's that ? nikolas : what if we could make an arrangement ... for me to finance your film ? lulu : you want to finance dillon 's movie ? nikolas : yes . why do you find that so hard to believe ? lulu : i think it 's a little surprising . movies , entertainment -- this is not something my brother does . nikolas : it 's a business opportunity . and let 's be quite frank -- my uncle victor 's disastrous clinic project cost the cassadines dearly . i 've been looking for other ways to diversify our assets . lulu : by financing a movie ? dillon : it 's a very generous offer , but i got to be honest with you -- i make mumblecore films . nikolas : i 'm sorry . mumble what ? lulu : do n't look at me . nikolas : i do n't know anything about -- dillon : mumblecore . joe swanberg , the duplass brothers . lulu : no . dillon : it 's a low - budget niche genre . not blockbusters . very independent . i 'm lucky if i break even . so i do n't know if you would make your return if you invested the money . nikolas : hey , listen , let 's not dismiss the opportunity just yet . i mean , you 're a filmmaker . let 's get creative , shall we ? dillon : okay . what do you have in mind ? nikolas : perhaps i can ... make a different kind of arrangement for financing . dillon : different how ? nikolas : i do n't know . you still own voting stock at elq , correct ? [ scene_break ] tracy : are you out of your mind , michael ? i am not trying to steal elq from you . michael : right , because that would be so out of character . sam : michael , where is this coming from ? michael : when you gave your shares up to jerry jacks , was that just an act ? i mean , how could you betray alice like that ? sam : hey , hey , michael . listen to me . tracy is not responsible for what 's going on at elq right now . michael : now , see , that 's the part that does n't fit here , because i would expect this betrayal from tracy . but you ? sam , how could you work against me ? sam : me ? you ? i would n't . you know that . michael : elq is n't only my inheritance . it 's danny 's , too . what would jason think about this ? sam : michael , please , please . listen to me , please . michael : you planted a bug in rosalie 's phone . sam : you know about that ? michael : yes , i do . jake caught you in the act . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : what i meant to say is that i do n't know if it 's a really good time for -- patrick : i get it . elizabeth : you do ? patrick : yeah . you and sam have history . you both have children from the same person , that being jason . i would imagine that would get awkward at times . elizabeth : yes . patrick : [ breathes deeply ] look ... [ clears throat ] i do n't really have to tell you how i ... felt about jake -- his propensity for violence , the fact that he gets shot at . did n't really think very highly of him in the beginning . but he 's always been cordial . he 's always been polite and nice to me ... forthcoming , except for that weird thing where he had a vision of him and sam in bed , which we never really got answers for , did we ? elizabeth : no , no . but i know that was just a side effect from helena 's conditioning , 'cause , you know , there 's never been anything between jake and sam , so ... patrick : yeah , i never thought that there was . i just think it 's funny that they 're colleagues now ... working on the same side . elizabeth : i 'm sorry . what did you just say ? [ scene_break ] sam : well played . i actually thought i got away with planting that bug . jake : that was the idea , thank you . sam : i was just doing my job . and for the record , you know that i would never do anything to hurt you . you are too important to danny and me . michael : okay , so , then how do you explain the bug ? tracy : it was planted for your benefit . sam : not only is tracy not working against you , she 's not even the one who hired me . michael : okay . then who the hell did ? sabrina : i did .

[ scene_break ] ava : i should go . morgan : yeah , this ca n't happen again . ava : no , it ca n't . oh , hey . morgan : hmm ? you did n't say nothing to kiki , did you ? morgan : no , no . no way . i really do hate lying to her , but it would just hurt her for no reason . i do n't want to do that to her . ava : neither do i . morgan : thank you . you just look -- you look so much like ava . you do . it 's like i look in your eyes , and all the feelings i felt about it , they come back . like , all the baggage that destroyed us is gone . all i see is the beginning . and , god , the beginning was just so full of ... ava : [ voice breaking ] hope ? morgan : yeah . ava : yeah , no . morgan , we ca n't do this . it 's wrong . it 's wrong ! morgan : i know .

[ scene_break ] elizabeth : it 's me . i know who hired sam . it 's sabrina santiago , michael 's girlfriend . they do n't know who rosalie is working for yet , but they are moving in on you . so if you 're gon na make a move on elq , you do n't have a lot of time .

[ scene_break ] reed : so the troll needs to borrow a phone charger , but he does n't want anybody to see him , especially jenny and cootie , the brother and sister who live in the house above the troll tunnel . but he has no choice because he 's waiting on a message from an extremely cute fairy princess named zoey . even though the troll mommy does n't like fairy princess zoey . so you guys please do n't tell the troll mommy .

gloria : the deal closed . and my contributions were vital to its success . he never let me forget that he was the boss , and then he made it very clear that he wanted sexual favors . jack : i what -- what ? ! gloria : say a word and i scream . mariah : that must have come as a huge shock to you . gloria : i wanted to cuss him out and walk away . but i needed the job , and i 'm ashamed to say i gave him what he wanted . mariah : so you 're telling us that you had sex with him ? jack : okay , i 'm not listening to this . gloria : yes . all night . `` all night . `` he was insatiable . `` he was insatiable . `` and when it was over , he told me that my services were no longer needed . he told me he never wanted to see my face again . mariah : i am so , so sorry . jack : not as sorry as you are going to be , `` clarissa . `` gloria : but what 's disgusting is this man made his fortune from a business that makes products for women . he does n't respect his customers . we 're just getting to the good part . you want some popcorn , jack ? gloria : i felt powerless . hilary : this is a great story . thank you for bringing this to us . mariah : you 're welcome . clarissa , would you be willing to reveal the identity of this man ? gloria : he 's very powerful . he could ruin me and shut down gc buzz . jack : and he will . gloria : shh , shh , shh ! jack : if you so much as -- gloria : she 's gon na name names . mariah : well , here , we are not afraid of the truth . gloria : [ chuckles ] jack : you did n't . gloria : [ chuckling ] yeah , i did . he is -- what the hell is this ? ! what ? ! come on ! hilary : my sincere apologies to our viewers . it seems that we are forced to postpone that very fascinating interview due to some technical difficulties in the studio . we 'll be right back . mariah : why did you cut my interview ? ! hilary : well , it seems that you forgot to mention that your big finale was slashing one of my close friends , jack abbott . [ scoffs ] much better to ambush me on live tv , right ? jack : technical difficulties . be a great name for your memoirs . that little audio / visual glitch is the best thing that ever happened to you . what made you think you could get away with this absurd , ridiculous charade ? gloria : charade , jack ? charade ? yeah , i felt exploited , abandoned , and utterly stupid for trusting you . yeah , i wanted payback ! jack : then why did n't you just take the high road and blackmail me ? it would have been a whole lot simpler . and maybe you would have gotten the money that you wanted . victoria : i did n't buy this membership , so why would i want to keep it active ? yes , that means cancel it . but if i did decide to go to this website before , what is the url ? can -- can you spell that for me ? thank you . oh ! reed : well , you can wait till you go to bed to check on those little troll fans . victoria : [ sighs ] reed : yeah , they , uh , they conked out before i even got to the cliffhanger . mom ? victoria : have you been using my credit card ? reed : uh , yeah . you sent me to the mall with it . and you told me to order pizza for everyone last weekend , and i did n't have any cash . victoria : i mean online . reed : no . why ? victoria : well , someone in this house must have , and i certainly did n't buy this membership , and i really doubt that johnny and katherine are interested in `` live cam shows of the world 's naughtiest nymphs `` ! troy : phyllis ? is that you ? phyllis : troy ? troy : yeah . hi . is something wrong ? phyllis : no . the exact opposite of every online horror story . you look much better than your photo .

[ chuckles ] troy : and still the divorce took over two years . she did everything she could to try and block it , which i still do n't understand because she is the one who cheated on me , openly , with several lovers . phyllis : sometimes you pick the wrong person . we 've all done it . troy : so you work in online marketing for fenmore 's ? phyllis : yes . yes . and i am having the best time . now , have you ever shopped there ? troy : i used to , until the last time i went with pam . [ scoffs ] she thought it would be hilarious to slip a $ 3,000 sapphire and ruby ring into the pocket of my coat . and then when the security guard stopped me on the way out , she pretended not to know me . phyllis : that 's awful . how long did she keep that going on ? troy : awhile . i eventually got it expunged by doing community service . 3,000 hours . phyllis : she sounds certifiable . was she ever diagnosed ? troy : pam ? no . she does n't believe in psychiatry . uh , but my therapist , one of them , called her a monster wrapped in human skin . phyllis : interesting . you know , good for you for choosing to get help , though . troy : it was n't a choice , really . she tried to have me committed . phyllis : how ? she 's the one that should be locked up . troy : she was also dating a judge . but during my 30 days of observation at fairview -- billy : excuse me . i - i apologize . troy : yeah . sure . who are you ? billy : i 'm bill . phyllis ' boyfriend . phyllis : that 's not true , troy . troy : well , then , what is he ... oh . i think i know . did pam send you ? billy : i 'm sorry . pam ? is that your wife ? troy : my ex - wife . she did , did n't she ? you can stop denying it right now . victoria : it 's not bad enough you sneak around making very unauthorized purchases on this . [ sighs ] you deny it to my face ! reed : i 'm not denying it , okay ? i did it . victoria : oh . oh , i know . reed : i get it . you do n't want your kids looking at dirty stuff online . victoria : johnny and katherine were here , reed ? reed : [ scoffs ] mom , i 'm sorry . i am . can we please just forget about this ? victoria : oh , yeah . of course . sure . we can forget about this . yeah , except it 's not an isolated incident . everything has a thread running through it ! disrespect for me and the basic rules that i have laid down for this house ! reed : what is `` everything `` ? victoria : everything ! using my credit card , lying to me about it , pitting billy against me so you can get your own way , inviting that girl over here . reed : that 's not fair . victoria : what about the tickets that i bought you for the concert in chicago on a school night ? is that not fair ? i was seriously trying to make up for embarrassing you , reed ! reed : [ scoffs ] i mean , you got to see the show yourself , so ... victoria : congratulations . that 's officially the most rotten thing you 've ever said to me . devon : hey , mariah . can you join me , please ? it 's lucky that we had that pretaped segment on esther 's valentine love cookies to slot in . but as soon as we 're out of it , i 'm gon na need you two to close the show . mariah : for the record , i resent hilary of accusing me for doing this interview just to trash jack abbott . hilary , if you would like an example of what a hatchet job looks like , i can show you your interview with dylan . hilary : my only concern is the journalistic integrity of the show . is n't that still your top priority ? devon : you know it is . hilary : then how can we air allegations like that without getting a statement from jack ? oh , i 'm sorry , mariah . do you have one of those ? mariah : there was n't any time , but i can get one for the next show . why is it that you were okay with the sexual harassment interview before it included your good friend jack abbott ? if gloria had accused anyone else -- hilary : wait , wait . gloria ? gloria , as in the mother of michael baldwin and your good friend kevin ? that gloria ? mariah : kevin and his mom are n't close . i barely know the woman . so do n't say that i 'm trying to further her agenda . hilary : you really need to do a background check on your alleged victim . that woman has a very checkered past , and that 's putting it politely . mariah : oh , my god . do n't we all ? hilary : not like this . she and jack have been feuding ever since she married his father . devon , they had a huge battle over john abbott 's estate . mariah : okay ! even more reason for gloria to refuse to trade sexual favors with jack for a job ! hilary : you are so naive ! and if you blindly listen to any word that that woman says , then you are a damn fool . mariah : i am not naive . it took me about three seconds to realize that jack abbott is single , just like you . and you know what ? for all i know , that is the reason why you want to kill my interview . you and devon have split . maybe jack is your next conquest . hilary : devon , are you seriously gon na let her speak to me like that ? devon : well , i agree with what she 's saying . hilary : [ scoffs ] fine . but i 'm not gon na stand by while you and mariah and a sketchy , possibly unstable woman crucifies jack for `` assaulting `` her . mariah : wow . way to go , hilary . blame the victim . whatever happened to girl power ? you know what ? i 'm feeling a little bit nauseated . you 're gon na have to finish this one on your own . devon : mari -- hilary : her unprofessionalism is showing , and it 's starting to make you look bad . devon : thanks . all right , people , we 're about to come out of commercial break . hilary : welcome back . jack : gloria , gloria . may i have a moment ? gloria : are you gon na hit me with some new threats , jack ? jack : if i came on a little strong , i think you know i 'm understandably on edge . i - i just do n't want you misinterpreting my sarcastic reference to blackmail . gloria : [ scoffs ] jack : i mean , no part of me is saying that that would have been a better option for you before the interview or now . gloria : so you 're telling me it was n't a coded message to start extortion proceedings ? jack : i 'm telling you if you do it , you will be very , very sorry . gloria : ooh ! more threats . jack : you 're not hearing me . after serious consideration , i realize you do deserve fair compensation for your hard work and effort . gloria : ah , jackie boy , so you do remember what happened that night . jack : for your effort to help with fenmore 's . not a night we both want to forget . neither one of us wants to open up to a cruel and judgmental world . gloria : you know something ? you may be right . well , tell me about this , uh , fair compensation you mentioned . jack : well , i can get into that later . i 'm just -- trust me . i 'm working on it right now . i just need a little time . gloria : no , no , no . there is no time , jack . i want it to happen , and i want it to happen now . jack : it 's not that simple , gloria . gloria : oh , jack , it is so simple . nobody wants to buy lipstick from a sexual predator . it 's kind of creepy . so whatever you 're working on for me , i suggest you work faster . hilary : [ sighs ] devon : great job , everyone . hilary : i think i bought us some time . but when mariah cools down from her temper tantrum , she 's gon na be on a mission to get that story on air , even if those claims are completely fictional . devon : well , the allegations are a story , and whether they 're found to be bogus or true is another one . hilary : devon , i really hope that you consider the consequences of airing an accusation that is this volatile . and i do not mean just for the show . devon : i have no desire to see jack get slimed , but we do n't know if it 's true . nobody does . hilary : that is a calculated , vicious lie , devon ! devon : then find the proof . hilary : that right there . that is exactly what i intend to do . reed : mom , i 'm -- i 'm really sorry for upsetting you . i know you went to a whole of trouble to make our chicago night happen . victoria : yeah , i did . reed : i do n't want to be disappointing you 24/7 , so , uh , while you were upstairs , i installed a filter . it makes it so little kids ca n't access things that they should n't see . and , um , and i deleted the browser history just in case they 're hip to that . but before i did , i printed it out so you can see i was n't looking up porn every time you left the house . victoria : i do n't need to read that . reed : [ sighs ] come on . mom , i - i just want to prove to you that ... you can trust me to make the right choices . victoria : you ca n't just click `` delete `` and erase inconsiderate actions and hurtful words and breaches of trust , and especially the way you 've been trying to manipulate me . reed : i said i was sorry . what else do you want me to do ? 'cause i 'll do it . i 'm totally serious , mom . victoria : look , how am i supposed to believe that ? i have been treated like the enemy since day one . you 're grounded for a month . no television , no phone . reed : what ? no , you ca n't do that ! victoria : yes . and no video games and no guitar and no music . reed : wait ! but music is the only thing that keeps me from losing my mind ! victoria : and no computer , either . reed : okay , now you 've lost your mind , because all of my schoolwork is on that computer . and you must not know that since computers were n't around when you were in school . victoria : huh ! reed : but every assignment that i have is on there . so , i mean , i guess you 're gon na have to add homework to the contraband list . victoria : oh , you would love that , would n't you ? well , guess what ? you can use the computer . you can download your homework in front of me , and then you can upload it the same way . so i 'm gon na go upstairs and i 'm gon na take a bath , and i want all of this contraband piled on that desk right there . and when i come back down , i better not have to do some search and hunting , otherwise we can make it two months ! and finish cleaning up that tent ! billy : peace offering . troy : that 's very decent of you . billy : you 're probably wondering why phyllis is dating online when she 's with me . i have a confession to make . troy : what 's that ? billy : phyllis and i broke up recently . we had a terrible fight , and she stormed out of the house . and to be honest with you , troy , it was all my fault . and i would do anything in my power to make it up to you . and i hope that you can forgive me . phyllis : i think it 's gon na take a lot more than just words . billy : anything . i will do anything if you just give me one more chance . phyllis : you know , i did n't see this coming , troy . i do n't know . if you knew what kind of man this juvenile , selfish , and , quite frankly , obnoxious person humbling himself the way he is now , you would understand why i need to wrap this up . troy : that 's all right . i 'm not ready to date . i had 17 last month . this is the first one to go over 10 minutes . billy : hey , that 's progress , man . and i think you 're right . you should wait till you 're , you know , stronger . troy : you guys are the best . fix things . please . billy : [ snorts ] phyllis : do n't do it . do n't do it . he 's a very sweet guy . billy : i mean -- phyllis : and he was easy on the eyes . billy : not so easy on the ears . phyllis : how much did you hear ? how long were you eavesdropping ? billy : enough to know that you needed rescuing . phyllis : thank you . billy : you 're welcome . phyllis : you went above and beyond . billy : hey . phyllis : chivalry is not dead . billy : just trying to be a friend . do n't tell me i ruined it already . phyllis : no , i 'm just awestruck that , yes , we can be friends . billy : you know , when i think about , uh , internet dating as a fad , because i would never do it , of course , you do n't seem to fit the lifestyle . phyllis : thank you , i think . billy : yeah , so , which makes me think that you lost a bet , and i 'm guessing it was against lauren because this smells like lauren . phyllis : no , no . this was all nick . i told him i would do it once , which means i am never doing it again . billy : okay , good . but just in case you do decide to do it again , just let me know the time and location and i 'll be there . phyllis : why ? so you can give me another emergency bail - out ? billy : oh , no . for entertainment value alone . i mean , this was amazing . i should have recorded it on my phone . phyllis : [ laughs ] billy : crocodile ? [ cell phone rings ] billy : let me take this . phyllis : go ahead . billy : reed , hey , buddy . what 's going on ? reed : mom lost it tonight . seriously , she 's out of control . she grounded me . billy : okay , just start from the beginning . reed : it was so totally nothing ! she just kept making herself madder and madder . you have to talk to her . please ? billy : reed , i 'm sorry , man , but i ca n't get involved , all right ? reed : billy , come on . there 's no one else . billy : no , you need to figure this out with your mom . i 'm sorry . phyllis : everything okay ? what 's going on over there ? billy : teenage discipline issues . reed did n't tell me anything more than that , but i got to stay out of it . phyllis : you 're drinking black coffee . all this adult behavior you 're exhibiting , it 's very unsettling . devon : [ sighs ] mariah : hey . devon : hi . mariah : i 'm glad you 're still here . you must be mortified that i stormed off like a nightmare teen pop diva . i know that i am . devon : no , i do n't , really . mariah : it 's grounds for termination . i know that . so say the word and i 'll resign . but please do n't say the word . devon : mariah , i 'm on your side , okay ? and hilary 's out trying to find the counterpoint , which i support , as well , okay ? we need as much information as possible , right ? mariah : we do . and hilary really wants jack to be an innocent target . devon : well , if he turns out not to be innocent , i think she knows better than to try a cover - up . mariah : does she ? devon : i 'd like to believe she does . mariah : okay . then i will , too . by the way , i 'm sorry that you guys could n't avoid ... that . i hope it 's not too horrendously expensive . devon : i think you 'll be pretty shocked to find out hilary 's volunteered to walk away without a dime . mariah : `` shocked `` ? i 'm slain . devon : i 'm pretty skeptical myself . and i , uh , i think there 's only one way to really know . hilary : you saw the show ? jack : i saw the important part . the part where that guillotine is dangling over my neck . hilary : yeah , and it was about to drop . i stopped it at the very last second . jack : yeah , `` technical difficulties , `` the oldest trick in the live - tv book . thank you , thank you , and thank you . hilary : no , no , i was just doing my job . that story was not run by me , and as soon as i realized that it was a dirty bomb that was about to detonate , i could not allow such a one - sided hatchet piece on my air . jack : well , you made my day . hilary : jack , off the record , i know you well enough to know that these claims are unfounded , okay ? you would never , ever violate an employee 's trust and dignity like that . jack : never . never . it is not in me . and i would state that publicly and keep repeating it if it meant that gloria would finally admit she made up the whole damn thing ! hilary : so you knew it was her ? jack : she practically dragged me to watch it on tv with her . she 's the most vindictive woman i 've ever met . hilary : well , what is behind this ? why is she daring to take such a huge shot at you ? still off the record , naturally . you must have done something . jack , come on . you know you can trust me , right ? jack : through a hideously unfortunate series of events , gloria and i recently found ourselves in a , uh ... heated situation . hilary : heated ? oh , my god . you mean ... jack : i mean gloria has a vendetta against me . thank you for saving me . hilary : how are you planning to respond ? devon : do i sound like i 'm joking ? i 'm very serious . i need to get a cashier 's check for $ 250 million made out to hilary curtis hamilton . i do n't care . just get it done as quick as possible , please . thank you .

[ chuckles ] troy : and still the divorce took over two years . she did everything she could to try and block it , which i still do n't understand because she is the one who cheated on me , openly , with several lovers . phyllis : sometimes you pick the wrong person . we 've all done it . troy : so you work in online marketing for fenmore 's ? phyllis : yes . yes . and i am having the best time . now , have you ever shopped there ? troy : i used to , until the last time i went with pam . [ scoffs ] she thought it would be hilarious to slip a $ 3,000 sapphire and ruby ring into the pocket of my coat . and then when the security guard stopped me on the way out , she pretended not to know me . phyllis : that 's awful . how long did she keep that going on ? troy : awhile . i eventually got it expunged by doing community service . 3,000 hours . phyllis : she sounds certifiable . was she ever diagnosed ? troy : pam ? no . she does n't believe in psychiatry . uh , but my therapist , one of them , called her a monster wrapped in human skin . phyllis : interesting . you know , good for you for choosing to get help , though . troy : it was n't a choice , really . she tried to have me committed . phyllis : how ? she 's the one that should be locked up . troy : she was also dating a judge . but during my 30 days of observation at fairview -- billy : excuse me . i - i apologize . troy : yeah . sure . who are you ? billy : i 'm bill . phyllis ' boyfriend . phyllis : that 's not true , troy . troy : well , then , what is he ... oh . i think i know . did pam send you ? billy : i 'm sorry . pam ? is that your wife ? troy : my ex - wife . she did , did n't she ? you can stop denying it right now . victoria : it 's not bad enough you sneak around making very unauthorized purchases on this . [ sighs ] you deny it to my face ! reed : i 'm not denying it , okay ? i did it . victoria : oh . oh , i know . reed : i get it . you do n't want your kids looking at dirty stuff online . victoria : johnny and katherine were here , reed ? reed : [ scoffs ] mom , i 'm sorry . i am . can we please just forget about this ? victoria : oh , yeah . of course . sure . we can forget about this . yeah , except it 's not an isolated incident . everything has a thread running through it ! disrespect for me and the basic rules that i have laid down for this house ! reed : what is `` everything `` ? victoria : everything ! using my credit card , lying to me about it , pitting billy against me so you can get your own way , inviting that girl over here . reed : that 's not fair . victoria : what about the tickets that i bought you for the concert in chicago on a school night ? is that not fair ? i was seriously trying to make up for embarrassing you , reed ! reed : [ scoffs ] i mean , you got to see the show yourself , so ... victoria : congratulations . that 's officially the most rotten thing you 've ever said to me . devon : hey , mariah . can you join me , please ? it 's lucky that we had that pretaped segment on esther 's valentine love cookies to slot in . but as soon as we 're out of it , i 'm gon na need you two to close the show . mariah : for the record , i resent hilary of accusing me for doing this interview just to trash jack abbott . hilary , if you would like an example of what a hatchet job looks like , i can show you your interview with dylan . hilary : my only concern is the journalistic integrity of the show . is n't that still your top priority ? devon : you know it is . hilary : then how can we air allegations like that without getting a statement from jack ? oh , i 'm sorry , mariah . do you have one of those ? mariah : there was n't any time , but i can get one for the next show . why is it that you were okay with the sexual harassment interview before it included your good friend jack abbott ? if gloria had accused anyone else -- hilary : wait , wait . gloria ? gloria , as in the mother of michael baldwin and your good friend kevin ? that gloria ? mariah : kevin and his mom are n't close . i barely know the woman . so do n't say that i 'm trying to further her agenda . hilary : you really need to do a background check on your alleged victim . that woman has a very checkered past , and that 's putting it politely . mariah : oh , my god . do n't we all ? hilary : not like this . she and jack have been feuding ever since she married his father . devon , they had a huge battle over john abbott 's estate . mariah : okay ! even more reason for gloria to refuse to trade sexual favors with jack for a job ! hilary : you are so naive ! and if you blindly listen to any word that that woman says , then you are a damn fool . mariah : i am not naive . it took me about three seconds to realize that jack abbott is single , just like you . and you know what ? for all i know , that is the reason why you want to kill my interview . you and devon have split . maybe jack is your next conquest . hilary : devon , are you seriously gon na let her speak to me like that ? devon : well , i agree with what she 's saying . hilary : [ scoffs ] fine . but i 'm not gon na stand by while you and mariah and a sketchy , possibly unstable woman crucifies jack for `` assaulting `` her . mariah : wow . way to go , hilary . blame the victim . whatever happened to girl power ? you know what ? i 'm feeling a little bit nauseated . you 're gon na have to finish this one on your own . devon : mari -- hilary : her unprofessionalism is showing , and it 's starting to make you look bad . devon : thanks . all right , people , we 're about to come out of commercial break . hilary : welcome back . jack : gloria , gloria . may i have a moment ? gloria : are you gon na hit me with some new threats , jack ? jack : if i came on a little strong , i think you know i 'm understandably on edge . i - i just do n't want you misinterpreting my sarcastic reference to blackmail . gloria : [ scoffs ] jack : i mean , no part of me is saying that that would have been a better option for you before the interview or now . gloria : so you 're telling me it was n't a coded message to start extortion proceedings ? jack : i 'm telling you if you do it , you will be very , very sorry . gloria : ooh ! more threats . jack : you 're not hearing me . after serious consideration , i realize you do deserve fair compensation for your hard work and effort . gloria : ah , jackie boy , so you do remember what happened that night . jack : for your effort to help with fenmore 's . not a night we both want to forget . neither one of us wants to open up to a cruel and judgmental world . gloria : you know something ? you may be right . well , tell me about this , uh , fair compensation you mentioned . jack : well , i can get into that later . i 'm just -- trust me . i 'm working on it right now . i just need a little time . gloria : no , no , no . there is no time , jack . i want it to happen , and i want it to happen now . jack : it 's not that simple , gloria . gloria : oh , jack , it is so simple . nobody wants to buy lipstick from a sexual predator . it 's kind of creepy . so whatever you 're working on for me , i suggest you work faster . hilary : [ sighs ] devon : great job , everyone . hilary : i think i bought us some time . but when mariah cools down from her temper tantrum , she 's gon na be on a mission to get that story on air , even if those claims are completely fictional . devon : well , the allegations are a story , and whether they 're found to be bogus or true is another one . hilary : devon , i really hope that you consider the consequences of airing an accusation that is this volatile . and i do not mean just for the show . devon : i have no desire to see jack get slimed , but we do n't know if it 's true . nobody does . hilary : that is a calculated , vicious lie , devon ! devon : then find the proof . hilary : that right there . that is exactly what i intend to do . reed : mom , i 'm -- i 'm really sorry for upsetting you . i know you went to a whole of trouble to make our chicago night happen . victoria : yeah , i did . reed : i do n't want to be disappointing you 24/7 , so , uh , while you were upstairs , i installed a filter . it makes it so little kids ca n't access things that they should n't see . and , um , and i deleted the browser history just in case they 're hip to that . but before i did , i printed it out so you can see i was n't looking up porn every time you left the house . victoria : i do n't need to read that . reed : [ sighs ] come on . mom , i - i just want to prove to you that ... you can trust me to make the right choices . victoria : you ca n't just click `` delete `` and erase inconsiderate actions and hurtful words and breaches of trust , and especially the way you 've been trying to manipulate me . reed : i said i was sorry . what else do you want me to do ? 'cause i 'll do it . i 'm totally serious , mom . victoria : look , how am i supposed to believe that ? i have been treated like the enemy since day one . you 're grounded for a month . no television , no phone . reed : what ? no , you ca n't do that ! victoria : yes . and no video games and no guitar and no music . reed : wait ! but music is the only thing that keeps me from losing my mind ! victoria : and no computer , either . reed : okay , now you 've lost your mind , because all of my schoolwork is on that computer . and you must not know that since computers were n't around when you were in school . victoria : huh ! reed : but every assignment that i have is on there . so , i mean , i guess you 're gon na have to add homework to the contraband list . victoria : oh , you would love that , would n't you ? well , guess what ? you can use the computer . you can download your homework in front of me , and then you can upload it the same way . so i 'm gon na go upstairs and i 'm gon na take a bath , and i want all of this contraband piled on that desk right there . and when i come back down , i better not have to do some search and hunting , otherwise we can make it two months ! and finish cleaning up that tent ! billy : peace offering . troy : that 's very decent of you . billy : you 're probably wondering why phyllis is dating online when she 's with me . i have a confession to make . troy : what 's that ? billy : phyllis and i broke up recently . we had a terrible fight , and she stormed out of the house . and to be honest with you , troy , it was all my fault . and i would do anything in my power to make it up to you . and i hope that you can forgive me . phyllis : i think it 's gon na take a lot more than just words . billy : anything . i will do anything if you just give me one more chance . phyllis : you know , i did n't see this coming , troy . i do n't know . if you knew what kind of man this juvenile , selfish , and , quite frankly , obnoxious person humbling himself the way he is now , you would understand why i need to wrap this up . troy : that 's all right . i 'm not ready to date . i had 17 last month . this is the first one to go over 10 minutes . billy : hey , that 's progress , man . and i think you 're right . you should wait till you 're , you know , stronger . troy : you guys are the best . fix things . please . billy : [ snorts ] phyllis : do n't do it . do n't do it . he 's a very sweet guy . billy : i mean -- phyllis : and he was easy on the eyes . billy : not so easy on the ears . phyllis : how much did you hear ? how long were you eavesdropping ? billy : enough to know that you needed rescuing . phyllis : thank you . billy : you 're welcome . phyllis : you went above and beyond . billy : hey . phyllis : chivalry is not dead . billy : just trying to be a friend . do n't tell me i ruined it already . phyllis : no , i 'm just awestruck that , yes , we can be friends . billy : you know , when i think about , uh , internet dating as a fad , because i would never do it , of course , you do n't seem to fit the lifestyle . phyllis : thank you , i think . billy : yeah , so , which makes me think that you lost a bet , and i 'm guessing it was against lauren because this smells like lauren . phyllis : no , no . this was all nick . i told him i would do it once , which means i am never doing it again . billy : okay , good . but just in case you do decide to do it again , just let me know the time and location and i 'll be there . phyllis : why ? so you can give me another emergency bail - out ? billy : oh , no . for entertainment value alone . i mean , this was amazing . i should have recorded it on my phone . phyllis : [ laughs ] billy : crocodile ? [ cell phone rings ] billy : let me take this . phyllis : go ahead . billy : reed , hey , buddy . what 's going on ? reed : mom lost it tonight . seriously , she 's out of control . she grounded me . billy : okay , just start from the beginning . reed : it was so totally nothing ! she just kept making herself madder and madder . you have to talk to her . please ? billy : reed , i 'm sorry , man , but i ca n't get involved , all right ? reed : billy , come on . there 's no one else . billy : no , you need to figure this out with your mom . i 'm sorry . phyllis : everything okay ? what 's going on over there ? billy : teenage discipline issues . reed did n't tell me anything more than that , but i got to stay out of it . phyllis : you 're drinking black coffee . all this adult behavior you 're exhibiting , it 's very unsettling . devon : [ sighs ] mariah : hey . devon : hi . mariah : i 'm glad you 're still here . you must be mortified that i stormed off like a nightmare teen pop diva . i know that i am . devon : no , i do n't , really . mariah : it 's grounds for termination . i know that . so say the word and i 'll resign . but please do n't say the word . devon : mariah , i 'm on your side , okay ? and hilary 's out trying to find the counterpoint , which i support , as well , okay ? we need as much information as possible , right ? mariah : we do . and hilary really wants jack to be an innocent target . devon : well , if he turns out not to be innocent , i think she knows better than to try a cover - up . mariah : does she ? devon : i 'd like to believe she does . mariah : okay . then i will , too . by the way , i 'm sorry that you guys could n't avoid ... that . i hope it 's not too horrendously expensive . devon : i think you 'll be pretty shocked to find out hilary 's volunteered to walk away without a dime . mariah : `` shocked `` ? i 'm slain . devon : i 'm pretty skeptical myself . and i , uh , i think there 's only one way to really know . hilary : you saw the show ? jack : i saw the important part . the part where that guillotine is dangling over my neck . hilary : yeah , and it was about to drop . i stopped it at the very last second . jack : yeah , `` technical difficulties , `` the oldest trick in the live - tv book . thank you , thank you , and thank you . hilary : no , no , i was just doing my job . that story was not run by me , and as soon as i realized that it was a dirty bomb that was about to detonate , i could not allow such a one - sided hatchet piece on my air . jack : well , you made my day . hilary : jack , off the record , i know you well enough to know that these claims are unfounded , okay ? you would never , ever violate an employee 's trust and dignity like that . jack : never . never . it is not in me . and i would state that publicly and keep repeating it if it meant that gloria would finally admit she made up the whole damn thing ! hilary : so you knew it was her ? jack : she practically dragged me to watch it on tv with her . she 's the most vindictive woman i 've ever met . hilary : well , what is behind this ? why is she daring to take such a huge shot at you ? still off the record , naturally . you must have done something . jack , come on . you know you can trust me , right ? jack : through a hideously unfortunate series of events , gloria and i recently found ourselves in a , uh ... heated situation . hilary : heated ? oh , my god . you mean ... jack : i mean gloria has a vendetta against me . thank you for saving me . hilary : how are you planning to respond ? devon : do i sound like i 'm joking ? i 'm very serious . i need to get a cashier 's check for $ 250 million made out to hilary curtis hamilton . i do n't care . just get it done as quick as possible , please . thank you .

ej : well , now , are you asking me that question as rafael hernandez or as detective hernandez ? rafe : [ laughs ] i 'm just -- i 'm just making conversation here , ej . that 's all . now listen , you and i , we both had our fair share of problems with nick , it 's just i do n't see you shedding any tears . ej : well , i could say the same for you . rafe : true . ej : i will say this , though . rafe : mm . ej : you are a much better shot than i am . eric : i understand abigail was there when it happened . jennifer : yeah , she was there . she is still so upset . eric : well , if there is anything , anything at all that i can do , just ask . jennifer : that 's sweet . thank you . you know what you can do ?

nicole : well , of course it was personal . i mean , he -- he tried to kill jenn . he tried to kill me . he did n't exactly treat you with kid gloves . i mean , the son of a bitch had to go . daniel : i know that he wanted to kill you , but you had the gun . you had all the power . but you never threatened him . nicole : you know me . shoot first and then ask questions . daniel : [ scoffs ] and when he fell , when he was dying , he was trying to talk , and you clearly did n't want him to say anything . nicole : well , who wants to hear from a total liar anyway ?

sonny : yeah . i need you to come with me . marlena : sami , what you 're feeling is a classic form of guilt . you 're connecting what happened with what you wanted , but there 's no way that was your fault . nick 's murder had nothing to do with you . sami : i will try to keep that in mind . marlena : yes , please . sami : do you know what time he left that message for you ? marlena : uh ... well , no . sami : it says on your phone , i think . 8 : 46 . marlena : 8 : 46 , yeah . sami : mom , that 's when he was killed . can you play the message again ? marlena : are you sure you wan na hear it ?

[ laughs ] i think it 's really good that you understand that . eric : well , you too . jennifer : yeah . but i will admit i was pretty uncomfortable at first with how well they got along . eric : when she lied and said that she and daniel were a couple . jennifer : yeah , i mean , i was shocked that daniel would even go along with that . eric : well , that was a ruse , so she could investigate dr. chyka . jennifer : yeah . the greater good theory . eric : yeah , i guess so . you know what 's so amazing is that nicole -- she did all that just to clear my name . she did that out of love . not even realizing she was risking her own life , but she was risking everything . even though she knew that ... jennifer : if she got the proof she needed , she might lose you to the church , right ? eric : yeah . nicole : eric asked me to marry him last night . daniel , it was like fireworks going off in my stomach . but the thing is , we 're gon na keep it on the down low for a little while , you know , family reasons . and now that nick has been shot , that 's probably gon na add on a few days . but there was no way we were n't gon na tell you and jenn . you 've been through everything with us . you absolutely needed to know . daniel , you have been so important to me . i would n't even be with eric right now if it were n't for you , and i think i 'm the happiest i 've ever been . do you think that i 'm ... daniel , is something wrong ? daniel : something is very wrong . gabi : right , i 'm sorry that it 's such short notice . thank you . thank you , mr. jennings . okay , the hearing 's cancelled . will : thank you . gabi : it was the right thing to do . i should have never even ... will : gabi . stop , you do n't have to say anything . everyone knows that nick was pressuring you . gabi : and now he ca n't . will : i know . although i know this must be really , really hard for you . i know you cared about the guy , and i know you wanted to believe that he changed . gabi : well , if he did , we 'll never know now , will we ? i 'm gon na go check on arianna . excuse me . [ knock on door ] [ door closes ] rafe : hey . will : hey . gabi is checking on ari . rafe : i 'm not here to see gabi . i 'm here to see you about nick . ej : [ sighs ] talk about unsettling . not only is nick dead , now we have a recording of the shots being fired . sami : he was leaving a message for my mother , saying that he wanted to change . marlena : i have to get this to hope right away . ej : oh , absolutely . this is evidence . no , no , you have to get this down to the police department as quickly as possible . it pinpoints the exact time of the shooting . marlena : i hope this helps them find the killer . someone has to pay for what happened to nick . ej : absolutely . hope : sonny , please come in . have a seat . i assume you know why you 're here . sonny : uh , actually , no . hope : relax . put down your backpack . this might take a while . hope : sonny , relax . as i said , there 's no need to be nervous . i just need to ask you some questions about what happened last night . standard procedure with all witnesses . sonny : i did n't witness anything , though . hope : you were at the horton square last night , were n't you ? sonny : yeah . hope : and you witnessed when nick fallon appeared there , bleeding ? sonny : yeah . but so was everybody else . hope : looks like i 'll be interviewing a lot of people then . but let 's start with you , okay ? sonny : mm - hmm . hope : sonny , is there anything you remember about what happened last night , anything at all that might help us catch nick fallon 's killer ? ej : well , thank you so much for coming over . and let me tell you something . you know samantha relies on her mother a lot more than she lets on . marlena : mm - hmm . sometimes . bye - bye . ej : good - bye . samantha , you are going to have to be a lot more careful about what you say . sami : what ? why ? ej : because when your mother played you the message on her voice mail , you said , when you heard `` him `` shoot him . `` he . `` how would you know the assailant was a man ? sami : oh , god . oh , god ! ej : it 's little details like that that are gon na slip us up . sami : i know , all right . i 'm sorry . i - i did n't realize . i just was thinking about nick and the fact that he was leaving this message for my mother asking for help , you know . ej : hey , samantha , stop it . sami : i mean , it 's just upsetting to think that ... ej : please , listen to me . there are two things you need to focus on . first of all , nick is dead . he is gone , and he is never coming back . and secondly , that is a good thing . it 's a good thing for you . it 's a good thing for me . it 's a good thing for arianna . it 's a good thing for sonny . it 's a good thing for william . sami : no , i know . ej : it 's a good thing for everybody . sami : i know , i know . and that is why we did it . ej : now , in the next few days and weeks , the police are going to be asking a lot of questions of a lot of people , including us . we need to be extremely careful when it comes to giving them answers . sami : [ sighs ] hope : uh , let 's talk ... sonny : [ clears throat ] hope : now about the last time you saw nick . sonny : [ sighs ] i 'm sorry ? hope : before he was shot . did you see him anytime that same day ? sonny : i did , yeah . he was at my club . hope : and did you talk ? sonny : yeah , we talked a little . hope : sonny , we have witnesses that put you and nick together , and they indicate it was pretty heated . so would you like to go back and clarify that last remark ? sonny : what , am i a suspect now ? hope : everyone is a suspect . you want to be eliminated , you have to be honest , completely . understood ? okay . let 's try it again . why do n't you tell us more about the last time you saw nick fallon before he was shot ? gabi : rafe , what are you doing here ? rafe : hey . just came by to talk to will for a minute , maybe see my niece . how are you ? did you get some sleep last night ? gabi : i 'm okay . arianna 's asleep , but she could wake up soon . rafe : okay . listen , if you need to talk to someone , a ... therapist or a priest -- gabi : i 'm okay . i 'm good . i mean , i 'm -- i 'm upset , but i 'm -- i 'm handling it . thanks for asking . rafe : yeah , okay . gabi : [ laughs ] yeah . you always got my back . rafe : that 's right . gabi : [ laughs ] will , hey , look . i have to do something . would it be okay if you just watched arianna for a bit ? will : yeah , of course . i 'll be here . gabi : okay , i wo n't be long . will : that 's fine . rafe : take care . gabi : bye . rafe : is she really okay ? will : i think she will be . we all will be . rafe : yeah . yeah . good , good . so what do you say we talk about what happened last night ? will : that sounds great . i do n't have anything to hide . rafe : well , neither do i , and the last thing that i 'm going to do is lie about what i do know . will : well , i 'm not going to do that either . rafe : all right . let 's start with an easy one then . do you know about the custody hearing that 's set for tomorrow ? will : yeah . well , gabi just called her lawyer and cancelled it just a little bit ago . rafe : terrific . see , you guys can handle things on your own . i knew it . okay , so let 's get back to the custody hearing . did you know about it yesterday ? will : yes . rafe : when did you hear ? will : last night . rafe : not long before nick was shot . will : i guess . rafe : and not long after i broke up a fight between you and nick . a fight where you said if he tried to keep you away from arianna , that you would ... will : that i would kill him . aiden : look , i do n't want to intrude . i just wanted to offer my condolences . nick seemed like a very accomplished , very determined young man . i know you 'll -- you 'll miss him . jennifer : thank you . that 's really kind . i was gon na make some more tea . would you like some ? aiden : that would be great . thank you . jennifer : yeah , of course . aiden : yeah . eric : i do n't know if you remember , but we met at daniel and jennifer 's party . aiden : oh , yeah . yeah , yeah , of course . of course i do , yeah . eric : yeah , i was definitely not in the best of moods . aiden : [ laughs ] you and me both . yeah , yeah , and your date , she was a very beautiful blonde woman . eric : nicole . aiden : nicole . that 's right . she seemed a little upset with you . hope things have improved . eric : yeah , definitely . things with nicole and i are absolutely perfect . nicole : oh . oh , boy . i ... i can see it in your eyes . i 'm pushy . everyone knows i 'm pushy . you think i pushed eric into this ? i mean , it 's hardly a secret that i 've wanted to be with eric since , well , back when he wore his collar , right ? daniel : nicole . nicole . nicole : okay , but this was eric 's idea . he really loves me totally . daniel : yeah , but that is not the problem . [ sighs ] nicole : okay , you 're ... you 're scaring me . what 's wrong ? i mean , did you change your mind ? you 're acting like you do n't want us to get married . daniel : okay , nicole , marriage is something you and eric -- you are gon na have to decide for yourselves . nicole : we already have . what is going on with you ? this is the best thing that 's ever happened to me . i 'm marrying a wonderful guy who loves me to death , and you 're ... ca n't you just be happy for me ? i thought you were my friend . daniel : oh , i am ! but maybe i 've been too much of a friend . nicole : daniel . [ sighs ] if i did n't know better ... are you jealous ? seriously ? i mean , i 'm ... i 'm flattered . i really am , but we 're just friends , right ? that ship has sailed . you 're with jenn , happy as a clam , and i 'm engaged to eric . i 'm engaged to eric ! daniel : no , we are friends . just that . and we have grown to trust each other . have n't we ? nicole : yes , absolutely . daniel : and i - i think we 've had our problems . right ? first it was chloe , all of that stuff , and i was a jerk . nicole : and i was impossible . daniel : but we got past all of that . and then we dealt with ej . and we got involved romantically . but eventually we came close in such a different way . like friends , as i 've said . nicole : yes . we 've gotten through everything , so why ... why ca n't you be happy for me ? i mean , daniel , you 're the one who taught me what love really is and how it has to be . daniel : yeah , and then eric came back into your life . nicole : and he 's the best thing that 's ever happened to me . daniel : he is everything to you . and i am proud of the way that you have put him first , risked everything to help him . which is why , when i learned what i just found out , it -- it just ... i - i ca n't understand it . sami : so what happened is something that was really , really scary for allie to think about . johnny : did she cry ? ej : well , um , you know , i think she was feeling so many different things at the same time , that she did n't quite know how to feel . sami : and i think it 's gon na be a long time before it stops being scary for her . ej : so here is what we need you to do . i need you to be the best sister , and i need you to be the best brother you can for allie . can you do that ? sydney : okay . ej : okay ? johnny : yeah . ej : good stuff . sami : so if you have any questions or anything you wan na talk about , you come to me or daddy , okay ? okay ? johnny : is the bad man who hurt nick gon na hurt us too ? sami : no . ej : no , absolutely not . sami : no , we are gon na keep you safe . daddy and i will always keep you all safe . ej : definitely . so how about you both give allie a big hug when she gets home ? okay ? sami : yeah ? how about we practice ? ej : shall we ? sami : hugs right now ? for everybody ? aw . family hug . mwah . aiden : you know , if there 's anything i can do for you or your family , please let me know . jennifer : yes . thank you so much . aiden : okay . look , i understand what it 's like to have tragedy come down on you . you know , you think your future 's gon na be one way and then , well , you 're just wrong . okay . jennifer : all right , thanks . sonny : nick basically said he was going to get anything he wanted , including a custody agreement giving will no rights whatsoever . so , yeah , i got into his face . hope : sounds like you were pretty angry , sonny . will : hey , you saw us . there 's no denying it . i was really angry at nick . i mean , that guy just loved rubbing my nose in it , telling me about how he was gon na get away with whatever he wants , and there was nothing i could do to stop it . but people say things when they 're mad . you know that . rafe : yes , i do . but normally the guy that they say them to does n't wind up murdered a few hours later . will : oh , seriously ? come on , rafe ! you do n't really think i killed nick , do you ? sonny : yeah , i was angry . will and i talked to you the same night about nick 's involvement in the whole custody agreement . do you remember ? hope : i do . sonny : okay , you know , i mean , like , anger is kind of a natural response around nick . hope : is there anything else you think i should know about nick fallon 's death ? sonny : no . uh , nothing . hope : okay . sonny : [ sighs ] hope : that 's it for now . you 're free to go . sonny : great . okay , see you later . rafe : will , it does n't matter what i think . what i 'm worried about is how this looks . will : so you 're going to tell hope about the fight that i had with nick ? rafe : no , you are . [ suspenseful music ] [ knock on door ] hope : hey . come on in . marlena : i 've got something . it 's important . you 're gon na want to hear this . hope : okay . marlena : nick called me last night . i did n't get the message until this morning . nick : julie suggested that i -- that i call you . ej : look . i know it may not seem like it at the moment , but this will pass . sami : yeah , right . the cops , they 're just gon na stop looking , you know , 'cause that 's what they do . ej : of course they will . my man is gone . he 's left town . he 's never coming back . sami : ej . i still feel awful . ej : come here . sami : [ sighs ] ej : listen to me . nicholas fallon had a choice . now , i warned him , repeatedly . he made the wrong choice . nick is the only one to be blamed for the fact that he had to be murdered . gabi : excuse me ? eric : strange , is n't it ? jennifer : yeah . maybe we 're just anxious . eric : it has been a while . jennifer : yeah . eric : [ slurps ] jennifer : what ? eric : [ gulps ] well , you know what ? nicole does love drama . she 's probably just trying to drag this on as long as she can . jennifer : yeah , i mean , maybe she 's making daniel guess what 's on her mind . eric : yeah , i mean , still , would n't we have heard something by now ? nicole : i 'm so confused . daniel : what i found out was that something changed . nicole : what ? daniel : you . you changed . i do n't know why , when . desperate , maybe ? i do n't know . nicole : this does n't make any sense . daniel : do you remember why we went after chyka ? nicole : he gave kristen the drugs that she used on eric . he needed to pay . daniel : no , you 'd given up on that . you wanted proof . nicole : to clear eric 's name . daniel : no , not just clear it . you wanted proof , so eric would be able to make a choice . now , if we could clear his name and he chose you , you would know in your heart that you were n't his fallback position , that he wanted you first , not the church . nicole : right . daniel : and we almost got a confession out of chyka . but something went wrong , and i eventually had to leave . nicole : and chyka got away . daniel : and you said , no matter how hard you looked , you never found the proof that you needed to give eric that choice . and i believed you . nicole : there was n't any proof . daniel : no , yes , you had it in spades . you risked everything to give eric that choice . and you -- you took it away . i know the truth , nicole . now , i 'm not gon na sit here and let you deny it . gabi : sorry , harold was working right outside the door , so he let me in . i - i should have called , should n't i ? sami : no , no , no , it 's okay . ej : no , no , no , no . not at all , no . it 's perfectly okay . gabi : so how 's allie doing ? sami : oh , my mom recommended a psychiatrist we 're gon na use . we 're gon na make sure she gets through this . ej : and , actually , we were just discussing cancelling a few of your upcoming modeling sessions , so you can spend a bit of time focusing on yourself . sami : and ari , of course . you know , we want you to take all the time that you need . gabi : i 'd actually like to be working . i was thinking on the way over here about the trip to argentina . have they set a date yet ? sami : oh . ej : i do n't think that they have , but i can certainly check and see . sami : and i know they 're very anxious . gabi : so am i . you should know also that i called my lawyer this morning and cancelled the custody hearing . sami : really ? gabi : yeah , and , ej , i 'd like for you to draw up a custody agreement just so that we have it . okay , and i want to make sure that it 's absolutely 50/50 and for both of us to have the right to ask for anything . ej : i would be glad to . sami : [ crying ] nick : it feels really good just actually saying that , you know , like -- like -- [ sniffles ] like maybe there 's hope . [ gunshots ] [ shuddering ] hope : we 'll need , um ... we 'll need to have one of our ... our techs get a copy of that . marlena : of course . hope : that probably explains why we have n't been able to find nick 's phone . since he was using it , the killer decided to take it . marlena : are you okay ? hope : i just ... i did n't expect ... marlena : to hear that . i 'm sorry . i should have warned you . hope : it 's just so sad . the whole thing is so sad . it 's just -- he was reaching out . he was asking for help . do you know how many times i put off contacting him ? marlena : no , this is not your fault . hope : he wanted to change , marlena . he wanted to change , and someone took that opportunity away from him . maybe that call will help us find whoever did that . eric : nicole 's not answering my texts . jennifer : well , does she normally ? eric : immediately . i wonder if they decided to celebrate . jennifer : well , they should n't be the only ones having fun . why do n't we go over there ? eric : that 's a great idea . let 's surprise them . jennifer : yes ! nicole : daniel , i ... i do n't know what you 're ... what you 're talking about . are you -- are you feeling feverish ? i mean , if that wound gets infected , you know ... daniel : do n't . nicole : i honestly have no idea where this proof thing is coming from . daniel : well , i 'll show you . now explain that , nicole . | hope wanted to know why aiden 's card was in nick 's wallet . marlena listened to the message nick left her . sami was scared when she heard it . marlena wanted to know what scared her . rafe started questioning ej about nick 's death . will told sonny to take the gun back to victor 's . when sonny pulled out the gun , gabi came out and wanted to know what was going on . will and sonny got out of it . aiden told hope why nick had his card . sami told marlena that she was n't upset that nick was dead . rafe continued to question ej until ej walked away . daniel wanted to know why nicole did n't shoot liam . she made an excuse for it . he grilled her about why she did n't want liam to talk before he died . she ended up telling him that she 's getting married . a police officer showed up to take sonny to the police station . | <s>[INST] nicole : hi . i 'm so glad you texted me . there 's something i need to tell you . i 'm so excited . it ca n't wait . daniel : you 're right . it ca n't wait . nicole : oh . you look like you just heard the news about nick fallon . how 's maggie doing ? i know she was close to him . i did n't really know him that well , but still , it 's sad . and ... it made me realize something . daniel : did it ? nicole : yeah . made me realize that there 's something i need to confess . right here , right now . to you . jennifer : oh . eric : i just wanted to say in person how sorry i am about nick . jennifer : thank you . that 's really sweet . it is such a shock . it 's crazy . i was just thinking about him , and i ca n't even imagine who would do something so horrible like that . come on in . [ knock on door ] aiden : hey , you got a minute ? hope : yeah , sure . come in . aiden : um ... i 'm assuming you 're gon na cancel the meeting about the school gala , yeah ? hope : hmm ? aiden : the school gala . hope : oh , yeah , right . aiden : yeah . hope : can you take care of that ? aiden : of course . of course i will . hope : okay . aiden : hey , look , i 'm sorry to hear about your cousin . if there 's anything i can do , just please say the word . hope : okay . how about you explain why your card is in nick fallon 's wallet ? nick : julie suggested that i -- that i call you . she thought ... you might be able to recommend somebody for me to see , you know , professionally . you know , i just -- i do n't -- i do n't think ... i do n't think i can go on like this . [ dish shatters ] marlena : oh , my gosh , honey . sami : mom , i -- marlena : are you okay ? sami : i just made such a mess . god , i 'm such a klutz . marlena : no , no , you 're not . you are not . you heard nick 's voice , and it scared you to pieces . why was that ? rafe : it 's weird , huh ? ej : excuse me ? rafe : the square -- it 's totally normal . it 's like nothing happened last night . ej : what happened last night was a tragedy . a tragedy compounded by the fact that allie happened to witness it . rafe : yes . yeah , that 's really rough . sweet kid too . hope she 's okay . ej : indeed . have a nice day . rafe : yeah . but it is -- it 's strange how it all happened , though , right ? ej : meaning ? rafe : well , nick fallon -- he was a problem to a lot of people in this town , but now he 's dead . so all those problems -- poof . it 's convenient , huh ? will : gabi 's still sleeping . sonny : all right , i got it . no noise . will : you 're gon na take that straight back to victor 's , right ? sonny : yes , that 's the plan . i 'll be in and out in just a few minutes . will : okay . sonny : and then when i 'm done , i 'll come back here and let you know i got it taken care of . gabi : what 's going on ? will : [ sighs ] hey , i thought you 'd still be sleeping . you were up awfully late last night . gabi : it 's useless . every time i close my eyes , i see nick . before he died , the way he was looking at all of us ... [ cell phone rings ] will : excuse me . sonny : i 'm gon na go run a few errands , and then i 'll be back to take care of ari . do you want me to get you anything ? gabi : i do n't think so . sonny : okay . will : well , would n't you know it ? sonny : what ? will : it 's the family court . calling to remind us about the custody hearing for tomorrow at 9 : 00 a.m . aiden : well , nick contacted me about representing a client . hope : who ? aiden : gabriella hernandez . hope : the custody battle over arianna . aiden : yeah , but i ca n't talk too much about it -- hope : no , of course , i understand . attorney - client privilege . aiden : yeah . hope : this points us to one more reason . aiden : for what ? hope : murder . sami : god . look , it 's no secret that nick and i were not friends , you know , but ... [ sighs ] hearing his voice on your message and after seeing him all bloody last night , it just , you know , freaked me out . marlena : that 's understandable . and there 's nothing wrong with saying that you did n't like the man . but you did n't want him dead . i mean , nobody wants somebody dead . sami : mom , actually , that 's not true either . after everything that he did to will , i did want him gone . ej : as i recall -- what was it ? a little over a year ago , you were rather viciously assaulted , not far from here if i remember correctly , by one of nicholas fallon 's enemies from prison -- unless you 've forgotten about that . rafe : no , no , no . definitely not . but that 's guy 's dead now too . ej : yes . and , of course , we 're all very fortunate . but , i think , when one considers nicholas fallon 's particular brand of charm , an intelligent man , such as yourself , can assume that there are more homicidal maniacs waiting in the wing . rafe : right , right . so that 's your theory , that nick was dropped by a homicidal maniac ? ej : well , now , are you asking me that question as rafael hernandez or as detective hernandez ? rafe : [ laughs ] i 'm just -- i 'm just making conversation here , ej . that 's all . now listen , you and i , we both had our fair share of problems with nick , it 's just i do n't see you shedding any tears . ej : well , i could say the same for you . rafe : true . ej : i will say this , though . rafe : mm . ej : you are a much better shot than i am . eric : i understand abigail was there when it happened . jennifer : yeah , she was there . she is still so upset . eric : well , if there is anything , anything at all that i can do , just ask . jennifer : that 's sweet . thank you . you know what you can do ? you can help me take my mind off it and talk to me about nicole , because i know that 's not hard for you . eric : [ laughs ] jennifer : what are your plans ? nicole : i 'm an idiot for going out to smith island and grabbing that gun and trying to shoot liam . i could 've killed you . daniel : nicole . nicole : and i know you say it only grazed you , but 2 inches -- 2 inches over and you could be dead , and all because i acted without thinking because i thought i could n't make a mistake . but i 'm here to tell you something . `` mistake `` is my middle name , and i will never pull a stunt like that again . daniel : nicole , i know you would never mean to hurt me . nicole : absolutely not . daniel : but sometimes you ... you make choices , when you look back , they 're really not so good . nicole : i was just trying to save your life . daniel : you know , i was thinking about that night , about how you reacted to liam . and it seems to me that you really were determined to stop him . and no matter what , you wanted him dead , like it was something personal . so what -- what was that ? nicole : well , of course it was personal . i mean , he -- he tried to kill jenn . he tried to kill me . he did n't exactly treat you with kid gloves . i mean , the son of a bitch had to go . daniel : i know that he wanted to kill you , but you had the gun . you had all the power . but you never threatened him . nicole : you know me . shoot first and then ask questions . daniel : [ scoffs ] and when he fell , when he was dying , he was trying to talk , and you clearly did n't want him to say anything . nicole : well , who wants to hear from a total liar anyway ? look , i mean -- in fact , who -- who wants to talk about that guy ? i do n't . look , i came here because i wanted to apologize to you again and because i have a secret that i need you to know . ready ? daniel : yes . absolutely . you know that you can share anything with me . nicole : i 'm getting married . gabi : that custody hearing 's not gon na happen . i 'm calling mr. jennings right now and having him cancel it . will : really ? sonny : wow . okay . gabi : we all love arianna . i mean , family court 's the last place we should be . there 's a much better way to handle any problems that we have . where 'd i put my phone ? i 'll be back . sonny : looks like everything 's gon na work out . will : i hope so . sonny : i 'm gon na go . will : yeah . sonny kiriakis ? sonny : yeah . i need you to come with me . marlena : sami , what you 're feeling is a classic form of guilt . you 're connecting what happened with what you wanted , but there 's no way that was your fault . nick 's murder had nothing to do with you . sami : i will try to keep that in mind . marlena : yes , please . sami : do you know what time he left that message for you ? marlena : uh ... well , no . sami : it says on your phone , i think . 8 : 46 . marlena : 8 : 46 , yeah . sami : mom , that 's when he was killed . can you play the message again ? marlena : are you sure you wan na hear it ? sami : yes . nick : i do n't think i can go on like this . and i just got ta shut it all down . you know , it 's time . i know that i 'm hurting people . i know that , and i 'm hurting me . i 'm hurting myself . and -- and i do n't wan na do that . i can change it . [ sighs ] it feels really good just actually saying that , you know ? like -- like -- [ sniffles ] like maybe there 's hope . [ gunshots ] [ shuddering ] sami : oh , my god ! marlena : oh . sami : he shot nick when he was leaving a message saying that he wanted to change ! oh , my god . ej : shh . eric : daniel and nicole have been so close . i 'm almost surprised she did n't run right over to his apartment as soon as i put that ring on her finger . jennifer : i know . they are a pair . [ laughs ] i think it 's really good that you understand that . eric : well , you too . jennifer : yeah . but i will admit i was pretty uncomfortable at first with how well they got along . eric : when she lied and said that she and daniel were a couple . jennifer : yeah , i mean , i was shocked that daniel would even go along with that . eric : well , that was a ruse , so she could investigate dr. chyka . jennifer : yeah . the greater good theory . eric : yeah , i guess so . you know what 's so amazing is that nicole -- she did all that just to clear my name . she did that out of love . not even realizing she was risking her own life , but she was risking everything . even though she knew that ... jennifer : if she got the proof she needed , she might lose you to the church , right ? eric : yeah . nicole : eric asked me to marry him last night . daniel , it was like fireworks going off in my stomach . but the thing is , we 're gon na keep it on the down low for a little while , you know , family reasons . and now that nick has been shot , that 's probably gon na add on a few days . but there was no way we were n't gon na tell you and jenn . you 've been through everything with us . you absolutely needed to know . daniel , you have been so important to me . i would n't even be with eric right now if it were n't for you , and i think i 'm the happiest i 've ever been . do you think that i 'm ... daniel , is something wrong ? daniel : something is very wrong . gabi : right , i 'm sorry that it 's such short notice . thank you . thank you , mr. jennings . okay , the hearing 's cancelled . will : thank you . gabi : it was the right thing to do . i should have never even ... will : gabi . stop , you do n't have to say anything . everyone knows that nick was pressuring you . gabi : and now he ca n't . will : i know . although i know this must be really , really hard for you . i know you cared about the guy , and i know you wanted to believe that he changed . gabi : well , if he did , we 'll never know now , will we ? i 'm gon na go check on arianna . excuse me .

why ? ej : because when your mother played you the message on her voice mail , you said , when you heard `` him `` shoot him . `` he . `` how would you know the assailant was a man ? sami : oh , god . oh , god ! ej : it 's little details like that that are gon na slip us up . sami : i know , all right . i 'm sorry . i - i did n't realize . i just was thinking about nick and the fact that he was leaving this message for my mother asking for help , you know . ej : hey , samantha , stop it . sami : i mean , it 's just upsetting to think that ... ej : please , listen to me . there are two things you need to focus on . first of all , nick is dead . he is gone , and he is never coming back . and secondly , that is a good thing . it 's a good thing for you . it 's a good thing for me . it 's a good thing for arianna . it 's a good thing for sonny . it 's a good thing for william . sami : no , i know . ej : it 's a good thing for everybody . sami : i know , i know . and that is why we did it . ej : now , in the next few days and weeks , the police are going to be asking a lot of questions of a lot of people , including us . we need to be extremely careful when it comes to giving them answers . sami : [ sighs ] hope : uh , let 's talk ... sonny : [ clears throat ] hope : now about the last time you saw nick . sonny : [ sighs ] i 'm sorry ?

sonny : what , am i a suspect now ? hope : everyone is a suspect . you want to be eliminated , you have to be honest , completely . understood ? okay . let 's try it again . why do n't you tell us more about the last time you saw nick fallon before he was shot ? gabi : rafe , what are you doing here ? rafe : hey . just came by to talk to will for a minute , maybe see my niece . how are you ? did you get some sleep last night ? gabi : i 'm okay . arianna 's asleep , but she could wake up soon . rafe : okay . listen , if you need to talk to someone , a ... therapist or a priest -- gabi : i 'm okay . i 'm good . i mean , i 'm -- i 'm upset , but i 'm -- i 'm handling it . thanks for asking . rafe : yeah , okay . gabi : [ laughs ] yeah . you always got my back . rafe : that 's right . gabi : [ laughs ] will , hey , look . i have to do something . would it be okay if you just watched arianna for a bit ? will : yeah , of course . i 'll be here . gabi : okay , i wo n't be long . will : that 's fine . rafe : take care . gabi : bye . rafe : is she really okay ? will : i think she will be . we all will be . rafe : yeah . yeah . good , good . so what do you say we talk about what happened last night ? will : that sounds great . i do n't have anything to hide . rafe : well , neither do i , and the last thing that i 'm going to do is lie about what i do know . will : well , i 'm not going to do that either . rafe : all right . let 's start with an easy one then . do you know about the custody hearing that 's set for tomorrow ? will : yeah . well , gabi just called her lawyer and cancelled it just a little bit ago . rafe : terrific . see , you guys can handle things on your own . i knew it . okay , so let 's get back to the custody hearing . did you know about it yesterday ? will : yes . rafe : when did you hear ? will : last night . rafe : not long before nick was shot . will : i guess . rafe : and not long after i broke up a fight between you and nick . a fight where you said if he tried to keep you away from arianna , that you would ... will : that i would kill him . aiden : look , i do n't want to intrude . i just wanted to offer my condolences . nick seemed like a very accomplished , very determined young man . i know you 'll -- you 'll miss him . jennifer : thank you . that 's really kind . i was gon na make some more tea . would you like some ? aiden : that would be great . thank you . jennifer : yeah , of course . aiden : yeah . eric : i do n't know if you remember , but we met at daniel and jennifer 's party . aiden : oh , yeah . yeah , yeah , of course . of course i do , yeah . eric : yeah , i was definitely not in the best of moods . aiden : [ laughs ] you and me both . yeah , yeah , and your date , she was a very beautiful blonde woman . eric : nicole . aiden : nicole . that 's right . she seemed a little upset with you . hope things have improved . eric : yeah , definitely . things with nicole and i are absolutely perfect . nicole : oh . oh , boy . i ... i can see it in your eyes . i 'm pushy . everyone knows i 'm pushy . you think i pushed eric into this ? i mean , it 's hardly a secret that i 've wanted to be with eric since , well , back when he wore his collar , right ? daniel : nicole . nicole . nicole : okay , but this was eric 's idea . he really loves me totally . daniel : yeah , but that is not the problem . [ sighs ] nicole : okay , you 're ... you 're scaring me . what 's wrong ? i mean , did you change your mind ? you 're acting like you do n't want us to get married . daniel : okay , nicole , marriage is something you and eric -- you are gon na have to decide for yourselves . nicole : we already have . what is going on with you ? this is the best thing that 's ever happened to me . i 'm marrying a wonderful guy who loves me to death , and you 're ... ca n't you just be happy for me ? i thought you were my friend . daniel : oh , i am ! but maybe i 've been too much of a friend . nicole : daniel . [ sighs ] if i did n't know better ... are you jealous ? seriously ? i mean , i 'm ... i 'm flattered . i really am , but we 're just friends , right ? that ship has sailed . you 're with jenn , happy as a clam , and i 'm engaged to eric . i 'm engaged to eric ! daniel : no , we are friends . just that . and we have grown to trust each other . have n't we ? nicole : yes , absolutely . daniel : and i - i think we 've had our problems . right ? first it was chloe , all of that stuff , and i was a jerk . nicole : and i was impossible . daniel : but we got past all of that . and then we dealt with ej . and we got involved romantically . but eventually we came close in such a different way . like friends , as i 've said . nicole : yes . we 've gotten through everything , so why ... why ca n't you be happy for me ? i mean , daniel , you 're the one who taught me what love really is and how it has to be . daniel : yeah , and then eric came back into your life . nicole : and he 's the best thing that 's ever happened to me . daniel : he is everything to you . and i am proud of the way that you have put him first , risked everything to help him . which is why , when i learned what i just found out , it -- it just ... i - i ca n't understand it . sami : so what happened is something that was really , really scary for allie to think about . johnny : did she cry ? ej : well , um , you know , i think she was feeling so many different things at the same time , that she did n't quite know how to feel . sami : and i think it 's gon na be a long time before it stops being scary for her . ej : so here is what we need you to do . i need you to be the best sister , and i need you to be the best brother you can for allie . can you do that ? sydney : okay . ej : okay ? johnny : yeah . ej : good stuff . sami : so if you have any questions or anything you wan na talk about , you come to me or daddy , okay ? okay ? johnny : is the bad man who hurt nick gon na hurt us too ? sami : no . ej : no , absolutely not . sami : no , we are gon na keep you safe . daddy and i will always keep you all safe . ej : definitely . so how about you both give allie a big hug when she gets home ? okay ? sami : yeah ? how about we practice ? ej : shall we ? sami : hugs right now ? for everybody ? aw . family hug . mwah . aiden : you know , if there 's anything i can do for you or your family , please let me know . jennifer : yes . thank you so much . aiden : okay . look , i understand what it 's like to have tragedy come down on you . you know , you think your future 's gon na be one way and then , well , you 're just wrong . okay . jennifer : all right , thanks . sonny : nick basically said he was going to get anything he wanted , including a custody agreement giving will no rights whatsoever . so , yeah , i got into his face . hope : sounds like you were pretty angry , sonny . will : hey , you saw us . there 's no denying it . i was really angry at nick . i mean , that guy just loved rubbing my nose in it , telling me about how he was gon na get away with whatever he wants , and there was nothing i could do to stop it . but people say things when they 're mad . you know that . rafe : yes , i do . but normally the guy that they say them to does n't wind up murdered a few hours later . will : oh , seriously ? come on , rafe ! you do n't really think i killed nick , do you ? sonny : yeah , i was angry . will and i talked to you the same night about nick 's involvement in the whole custody agreement . do you remember ? hope : i do . sonny : okay , you know , i mean , like , anger is kind of a natural response around nick . hope : is there anything else you think i should know about nick fallon 's death ? sonny : no . uh , nothing . hope : okay . sonny : [ sighs ] hope : that 's it for now . you 're free to go . sonny : great . okay , see you later . rafe : will , it does n't matter what i think . what i 'm worried about is how this looks . will : so you 're going to tell hope about the fight that i had with nick ? rafe : no , you are .

[ scene_break ] robin : so , how brave are we feeling right now ? patrick : uh - oh . robin : it 's the therapist . patrick : okay . what 's an introductory session ? robin : i think you talk about what you expect from therapy and maybe agree on a schedule . patrick : so just to commit to show up . robin : i think so . patrick : great . you think we can be there in 15 minutes ? robin : yeah , i mean , if we hurry . we might as well do it . it 'll help us from talking ourselves out of it . patrick : i 'm in . if you 're in , i 'm in . robin : okay , great . let 's go .

[ scene_break ] abby : dante 's right . i mean , that was a stupid impulse for me to lie for you . the quickest way to get yourself incriminated is by giving a false statement that could be disproved . michael : you do n't need to cover for me , okay ? it 's -- [ sighs ] look , even if it got to that point to when they bring me in for questioning , my family has diane miller on retainer . she 's a great lawyer , and every single cop in the pcpd is terrified of her . abby : okay , but even the greatest lawyer loses sometimes . michael : is that a nice way of saying she 's not good enough to keep me out of pentonville ? abby : you just ca n't risk that happening again . michael : you want to know why i went to prison ? i confessed when everybody but dante was begging me not to . it was looking like my dad was going to get convicted , and i did n't want him to go to prison for something that i did . abby : you have this instinct to protect people . it 's a beautiful thing , michael , but it scares me because you never seem to think about protecting yourself .

[ scene_break ] sam : why do the police always suspect jason first ? dante : look , you probably know a hell of a lot more than i do . but brandon beat up abby again . michael found out . the last time he did it , michael nearly killed the guy . jason will do anything to protect him . and given the circumstances around jason right now , i think he might have gotten a little sloppy , and the pcpd thinks they can tie the murder back to him . [ scene_break ] abby : i appreciate you trying to help , but what exactly could you do ? johnny : i can talk to the girls and the staff , make sure everybody 's on the same page about what they saw or did n't see . i can talk to any witnesses that were on my property , take care of them , too . if there 's anything you guys need , said or not said , consider it done . michael : okay . why are you being so helpful ? johnny : well , to be honest with you guys , i feel partly responsible for what happened . i know that brandon had been roughing you up for quite some time , and i should have been the one to shut him down . if there 's anything you need , let me know . michael : okay . i will . thanks . johnny : take care of yourself . abby : thanks . what do you think that was about ? michael : i do n't know . but that is the second time johnny zacchara 's gone out of his way to help us . abby : i know . now i 've got you in even deeper . michael : look , abby . we 've been dancing around the most important question all night . why have n't you asked me if i killed brandon ? or do you think you already know the answer ?

sharon : you were right about getting involved in christian 's case . i - it -- it was unnecessary . and the judge ended up placing him with victoria . but still , you know , i do n't see how wanting to help was a bad thing . you always said that 's what you loved about me . how much i care about other people . it made me great at my job . rey : yeah , and the work you were doing was amazing . but we 're not talking about those people . even christian . sharon : how is helping adam any different ? rey : do you really need me to answer that ? sharon : [ scoffs ] i go out of my way to help a stranger , and you expect me to turn my back on a friend ? rey : oh , wait . we both know that adam 's a lot more than just a friend . sharon : no , that 's not true . rey : sharon , if you ca n't be honest with me , there is no point in having this conversation . adam : you better have a damn good reason for sending my p.i . out of the country . michael : i thought an extended vacation would benefit all parties . adam : look , i need those photos . for kevin and chloe 's sake , i hope you got them . michael : and the negatives . adam : mm - hmm . well , you 're not as dumb as i thought . michael : i am smarter than you ever expected . adam : where are the pictures ?

mcnally is a top - rate c.f.o . we were all very disappointed when nick lured him away to dark horse . phyllis : well , you can have him back . he asks too many questions . victoria : oh , well , maybe he noticed that most of the assets you 're selling off belonged to newman at one time . phyllis : uh , he said he was afraid that my lack of experience might make someone want to take advantage of me . that is a typical man . victoria : well , let 's just hope he did n't raise those concerns with adam . phyllis : of course he did n't raise those concerns with adam . of course not . and , by the way , adam is a ghost here . people do n't see him , let alone talk to him . victoria : so , are we good to go with this ? phyllis : check your phone . everything should be finalized . victoria : sale complete . phyllis : now you just need to hold up your end of the agreement . victoria : i 'm doing this for nicholas . i just have n't been able to get ahold of him to let him know that i 'm transferring ownership of his properties back to him . phyllis : i 'd like to do that , if you do n't mind . victoria : yes , by all means . be my guest . a word of warning , though -- if you 're hoping that this will win nick back -- phyllis : um ... [ clears throat ] victoria , i need your advice as much as i need roger mcnally 's . victoria : good luck . phyllis : luck is for suckers . sharon : can we just agree to disagree ? rey : about adam ? not a problem . sharon : about how we view him . you know , you 're never gon na stop being a cop . you look at adam , and you see a rap sheet . rey : yeah . says a lot about a man . sharon : okay , well , i have a different perspective . i see adam , and i see what shaped him . rey : yeah . so he 's a toxic jerk because of daddy issues ? sharon : partly , yeah . did you know that his legal name is victor newman jr . ? rey : oh , wow . did he spend his whole life trying to live up to that title ? sharon : he did n't know who his father was growing up . he did n't know who he was . when he found out , it -- it turned his whole world upside down . rey : oh , it must be rough finding out you 're the son of a billionaire . sharon : [ sighs ] he was lied to , rey . his whole life . by everyone . including his mother , who he idolized . and that 's what made him who he is . it 's what motivates everything he does . rey : yeah ? including this custody fight ? sharon : yes , especially that . rey : [ sighs ] explains a lot . sharon : so now you understand why adam acts the way he does . rey : no . not about adam . about you . you do n't love him in spite of how screwed up he is . you love him because of it . sharon : i came here to apologize for offering to take christian in . rey : yeah , well , so far , all you 've done is made excuses for you and adam . sharon : i was awake all night thinking about this . rey : how much time did you spend thinking about us ? our future ? as much time as you spent thinking about adam 's tragic past ? that 's what i thought . sharon : my concerns are valid . rey : sharon , a lot of people grew up without a father . we do n't all turn out to be sociopaths . sharon : okay , so now you 're the psychologist . rey : no more than you . sharon : you know what , neither one of us are qualified to diagnose adam . rey : no . no . but i have spent years listening to felons talk to their girlfriends and wives , and it is always the same thing -- `` you 're the only one that understands me , baby . i ca n't do this without you . `` does that sound familiar ? sharon : i have pity for adam , not love . rey : yeah , well , it 's a fine line , sharon . sharon : you 're being paranoid . rey : yeah . sharon : i have no intention of going back to him . rey : yeah . yeah , right . sharon : okay , this is not about adam . rey : you keep telling yourself that . sharon : this is about mia . she betrayed you , and you do n't trust anyone anymore , and now you 're taking your anger for her out on me . rey : what i 'm feeling is not anger . it is frustration . and fear . i 'm scared for you , sharon . sharon : why ? rey : because i ca n't save you from this . only you can . but you do n't want to . you 're defending a man who 's dragging you down . and you wo n't -- you ca n't stop yourself from letting him . sharon : i will -- i 'll cut adam out of my life if you want me to . rey : you 've said that before . sharon : i will ! rey : you have said that before . sharon : i do n't love him . i love you ! only you . rey : the first time you said that , it felt like my heart was gon na explode . but now it feels like you 're using me to hide your feelings for adam . and i am not interested in being your safety net . sharon : you 're not . rey : it 's over , sharon . we are done . chelsea : it really is beautiful here . so ... secluded and peaceful . nick : it 's the perfect place for a dream home . you know , i offered to build summer and kyle a place up here . but they split up before i could even get the plans drawn . i guess it is the land of broken promises . chelsea : [ sighs ] i do n't know . found what i was looking for today . nick : yeah ? what was that ? chelsea : a reminder . of what 's possible . `` the young and the restless `` will continue . lola : mama , it 's me . i , um ... i miss you . i hope we can talk soon . heh . i love you . kyle : [ sighs ] i could call her . if you think it would help . lola : after what theo told my mom about you ? kyle : [ sighs ] i could kill him for what he did . lola : might reinforce her opinion of you . kyle : i care more about yours . lola : it was n't easy hearing about your life in new york . kyle : i 'm not proud of some of the things i did . most of them . lola : i 'm not judging you . it 's just ... knowing ... about the intense relationship that you had with summer , and how it caused you to go out of control when she broke up with you -- kyle : i was stupid . [ sighs ] i 've grown up a lot since then . lola : and i love the man that you 've grown into . eventually , my mom will , too . kyle : said no daughter ever to her fiancé . lola : i never said when it would happen . kyle : [ sighs ] let 's -- let 's fly to miami . talk to her face - to - face . lola : what ? no . babe , we 're -- we have jobs . we 're getting married . and i already took time off for the honeymoon . i ca n't just take off to miami . kyle : i 'm sure abby will understand . lola : even if i could square things at work , pushing mom will just make it worse . kyle : what if you do n't work things out before the wedding ? lola : then she wo n't be there . it 's my own fault . i should n't have shut her out . kyle : nothing justifies punishing you like this . lola : how would you feel if we had our own daughter and she was in a life- threatening situation ? kyle : [ sighs ] lola : and she did n't mention it to us . do n't tell me you would n't lose it . hello ? kyle : hm ? mm . sorry . got caught on the thought of having a mini - lola . lola : [ scoffs ] kyle : oh , my god . she would be so cute ! and stubborn . mmm ! lola : you have no idea what you 're in for . kyle : it 's gon na be amazing . lola : as long as you like your family hot and spicy . kyle : the spicier , the better . chelsea : well ... this is really nice , but i should probably get going . are you gon na stay or come home ? what ? nick : you called my house home . chelsea : oh . [ stammers ] i did n't mean to presume -- nick : is that the way you feel ? like you 're home here in genoa city ? chelsea : i mean , i guess i always kind of consider this home . i lived here longer than i lived anywhere . nick : you had your son here . chelsea : yeah . and now he is settled in baton rouge , so -- nick : he will be happy anywhere that you are , chelsea . and he 's got a lot of people here who love him . chelsea : yeah , including adam . nick : you ca n't let him dictate your life . chelsea : look what he 's done to your life . and christian 's . nick : so , what are you gon na do ? chelsea : i just need to figure out my next move . nick : well , in the meantime , let 's go home . billy : sharon . hey . sharon : hey . billy : how 's it going ? sharon : uh , i 'm -- i 'm good . you ? billy : uh ... yeah . i 'm -- i 'm okay . you know , crazy at work . crazy at home now that we have another kid at home . sharon : how 's christian doing ? billy : he 's good . you know , he misses nick . but he 's a trooper . sharon : i feel bad for the little guy , caught up in the middle of all this . billy : yeah , well , that 's adam 's specialty , right ? trashing innocent lives . sharon : are you still having dreams about delia ? billy : a few . sharon : is it still causing you anxiety and insomnia ? billy : sleep 's overrated , right ? sharon : have you thought about what i said ? maybe finding a good therapist ? billy : i 've thought about it , yes . sharon : i could help you find someone who specializes in grief counseling . billy : or i could just , you know , continue talking to you . i 'm more comfortable that way . of course , unless you , you know , do n't have time . sharon : um , i 'm actually about to have a lot of time . billy : is that right ? you sending faith to boarding school or what ? sharon : rey and i broke up . rey : thank you . adam : i 'll , uh -- i 'll have what he 's having . sharon : i knew that rey had trust issues because of what happened with mia and arturo . from his perspective , i was crossing boundaries . but from mine , i was just helping a friend . billy : a friend yea high , chiseled jaw , carrying a pitchfork ? sharon : adam is n't -- billy : please . you do n't have to explain that s.o.b . to me . sharon : i just do n't want you to have the wrong idea . i love rey . billy : and yet that demon seed was trying to ruin your relationship every step of the way . sharon : nothing happened between adam and me . billy : my thought never went there . but i will say , if i was in rey 's shoes , i would be worried , too . not that you 're cheating on him , it 's just -- you know , it 's -- it 's adam . i would n't want you anywhere near him , either . sharon : i 'm all he has , billy . billy : well , that 's because he 's poisonous , sharon . he ruins everything he touches . and the most insidious , most disturbing part of it is , he does n't have to do anything . sharon : i do n't think that 's fair . billy : does n't matter if it 's fair . it 's just true . the mere presence of him puts everybody on edge , and it just -- it does a number on you . you know , you 're constantly worried where the next bomb is gon na go off and what damage it 's gon na cause , and ... like i said , the guy is poisonous . sharon : you know , i 've studied hypervigilance , and it can be exhausting . billy : tell me about it . sharon : you 're still not sleeping , are you ? billy : well , when i sleep , i do n't actually get any rest . it 's like i 'm living in a constant nightmare . sharon : dreaming about delia ? billy : every night 's the same . i -- i 'm searching for her . i 'm trying to save her . trying to ... save her from adam . and i hear her calling my name . and as soon as i get close , it 's -- i wake up , and i 'm too late . just like the night i lost her . i 'm always too late . phyllis : hello . you 're very busy . for a guy who just dumped a high - profile client . michael : that 's right . very busy . phyllis : even for an old friend ? michael : [ sighs ] by all means , phyllis , j -- join me . phyllis : do n't mind if i do . what were we saying ? oh , yes , yes . um ... we were talking about how you bailed on nick just hours before the custody hearing . michael : i had a conflict . phyllis : oh , well , that 's bad luck for nick . because if you would have been there , the outcome would have been very different . michael : i told nick to get a continuance . i told nick to find a lawyer . he chose to go it alone . it backfired . that is on him . phyllis : ooh , harsh . michael : nick should have listened to me . phyllis : sounds like you have an inside track . michael : [ clears throat ] i did . years of experience as an attorney . phyllis : mm . well , at least christian did n't end up with adam . michael : i never thought he would . phyllis : years of experience ? michael : adam 's track record . phyllis : yeah , i tried to tell adam he was n't dad material , but he was n't having it . [ sighs ] so i guess nick and adam are n't that different , after all . they both think they know better . michael : yeah , it 's genetically linked . phyllis : i hope they do n't find a cure . because , um , i 'm finding that adam 's arrogance is giving me endless opportunities . [ chuckles ] michael : i am absolutely certain that i do n't want to know what you 're talking about . phyllis : i think you do want to know . michael : no , no , no , no , no , no . phyllis : you do n't see possibilities with adam ? michael : i steer as far away from your boss as humanly possible . phyllis : oh . so you say . adam : well , i have nothing against day drinking , but i hope this is n't a sign you and sharon are having trouble . [ sighs ] you know , i just -- i just realized that i offered my gratitude to sharon for letting me submit her name to the judge , but i never thanked you . yeah , i know if christian was with you and sharon , you would have helped her make my son feel safe and loved . i would n't have asked otherwise . rey : yeah . we both know that 's not why you asked her . adam : because she is the best person to mother christian . rey : sharon may buy that , but i don't . adam : okay . what other reason , then ? rey : you knew there was no way that the judge would choose sharon over victoria . so you used your son 's custody hearing to suck her further into your sick little world . adam : wow . i am , uh , not sure where all this vitriol is coming from . wait . wait a minute . i -- i did cause problems for you guys . man , i am -- i am so sorry . lola : i 'm glad she got back safely to miami . yeah . she is . really mad at me . hopefully . can you just tell mom that i love her ? [ snorts softly ] thanks , arturo . kyle : [ sighs ] she made it home okay ? lola : mia and arturo went to go check on her . kyle : i 'm surprised she did n't throw them out . lola : oh , she was really mad at him . and then the baby kicked , and they let her touch it , and she forgot all about it . kyle : right . if arturo had n't have been screwing around with mia , she - never would have gone after abby , and you would n't have ended up in the hospital . lola : yeah . he basically caused this whole fiasco , and yet i am the one mom 's not speaking to . kyle : yeah . it 's pretty messed up . lola : welcome to my world . or should i say arturo 's world . there is nothing that woman wo n't forgive him for . kyle : which means she 'll eventually come around with you . lola : yeah , that 's what arturo said . kyle : and you do n't believe it ? lola : when it comes to my mom , `` eventually `` can be a very long way off . kyle : or it could be another 10 minutes from now . lola : [ snorts ] ever the optimist . kyle : it 's out of our control . unlike our wedding . lola : hmm . i guess you forgot . i have no say in that , either . kyle : you already made the most important choice . lola : and i could have sworn i chose a more humble model . kyle : you saying you 're changing your mind ? lola : does that answer your question ? kyle : not sure . lola : okay . how 'bout now ? kyle : mnh - mnh . lola : oh , okay . kyle : no . lola : how 'bout now ? kyle : uh , closer . lola : [ laughs ] sharon : if you 're dead set on not seeing a therapist , you 've got to come up with some way to deal with these dreams you 're having . billy : i 'm open to suggestions . sharon : well , how about cutting back on caffeine ? billy : [ sighs ] it 's the only thing that keeps me awake during the day . sharon : yeah , but it also prevents you from sleeping at night . and that 's important , billy , or you wo n't be any good to anybody . billy : i know . i 'm -- i 'm -- my body 's out of whack , and i do need to get it back on schedule . sharon : how about yoga or acupuncture ? really , any form of exercise . billy : well , i was actually thinking of something a little more simple . sharon : like what ? billy : victoria was taking sleeping pills when she was dealing with all the j.t . stuff . so ... sharon : yeah . that could work . but you need to see a doctor . billy : yeah , no . of course . sharon : pills can help you sleep , but you 're not really dealing with the problem . and they can be really addictive . adam : okay , the last thing i want to do is hurt sharon . she is the only person that has been on my side since i came back to genoa city . she has gone out of her way to support and defend me , even when it was n't a popular thing to do . she has been a much better friend than i deserve . rey : no argument here . adam : okay . then what is it ? why does the idea of me and sharon being friends light you up so much ? rey : [ chuckles ] you know , it 's ironic how you both keep using that word . since you are so much more than a friend to sharon , and she is so much less to you . adam : mm . [ chuckles ] okay , how do you think i see sharon , dr . rosales ? rey : as prey . adam : hmm . well , if that were true , i would have to hunt her down . and i don't . because she 's going to come to me , rey . rey : yeah . maybe sooner than you think . nick : so , what can i do for you , mr . tulane ? daryl : please , call me daryl . nick : all right , daryl . you said you 're an attorney . are you here to see me ? daryl : actually , i need to see chelsea boudreaux . i understand she 's staying here . nick : you mind if i ask what this is about ? daryl : no need to worry about this . i have some good news for her . chelsea : hey , nick , do you -- daryl ! daryl : hello , chelsea . chelsea : what are you doing here ? daryl : i 'm about to make you a very rich woman . | at adam 's , michael tells him he destroyed the photos . adam is angry and tells that the photos guaranteed him custody of christian . michael warns him against going after chloe and kevin and tells him he is going to run for da . he tells adam he will convince christine to step down sooner and alludes that there is something in it for him . sharon arrives at rey 's . they agree they miss each other and sharon argues she was only helping christian . the two argue back and forth about adam and rey announces they are done . meanwhile at the coffee house , billy assures victoria he is more than okay about christian . later billy runs into sharon and admits he is still having a tough time , and sharon tells him she will have plenty of time to listen to him as she and rey broke up . | <s>[INST] [ previously_on ] kevin : i ca n't abandon you to deal with him on your own . michael : sure you can . look , the only reason i agreed to do adam 's bidding was to take the heat off of you so you could get back to your family . lola : what about my wedding ? you 'll come back for it , wo n't you ? celeste : all that i know is that i love you . i love you enough to say goodbye . phyllis : work with you ? victoria : well , yeah . if you 're making moves to cut adam down to size . nick : this is gon na be a huge patio , and there 's gon na be a huge window overlooking the sun deck . it 's for us . i want to build our dream home . now i got to go and pack up christian 's things . i mean , him going home with you is a lot better than with adam , but i still ca n't believe i got to do this . he should be here with me , with his father . [ cellphone chimes ] [ sighs ] chelsea : thought i might find you here . nick : yeah . i needed to get away . chelsea : i 'll -- i 'll go if you want me to . adam : hey , i need more copies of the photos you took . i am sending someone over right now , so have them ready . [ doorbell rings ] michael : good morning . adam : well , you 're in a weirdly good mood for someone who was summoned by his blackmailer . michael : oh , i like to think of us as equally matched adversaries . adam : oh . well , whatever helps you get through the day . michael : what 's up ? adam : i need you to run an errand for me . michael : mm . a few days ago , you wanted me to run for d.a . now i 'm your gopher . adam : mm . well , the election 's in a few months . might as well put you to use until then . michael : [ chuckles ] makes sense , in an adam - ish sort of way . adam : i need you to pick up a package from someone . here 's the name and address . okay ? michael : oh . the p.i . who took the not - so - flattering photos of judge sanders.-adam : yes , everyone 's a critic . michael : sorry . ca n't meet him . adam : excuse me ? michael : he left town . actually , he left the country . indefinitely . adam : and how do you know that ? michael : because i am the one who told him to go . phyllis : yes , that 's exactly what i want to do . roger -- can i call you roger ? i 'm calling you roger . make it happen . [ sighs ] billy : it 's both physically and mentally exhausting to corral three children at one time . victoria : i know . i 'm so sorry i was n't there to help you get them off to camp . billy : it 's all right . i know that i 'll have my fair share of morning meetings , and you 'll be on your own . victoria : yes , that 's true . but you did n't sign up for this . billy : please refer to my prior comments on the subject . victoria : i know you 're okay with christian living with us . billy : i 'm more than okay with him being with us . victoria : and i appreciate that . but i just wish i had been able to reach you before i offered to help nicholas . billy : well , if you did , i probably would have went to the judge 's chambers and told him what an idiot i think he is . victoria : [ scoffs ] well , he hopes that he 's gon na be able to convince the judge to reverse his decision . billy : yeah . meanwhile , i 'm just glad the kid has a safe place to land . victoria : me too . but , billy , would you please keep your phone on from now on ? emergencies are bound to come up , and i have to be able to reach you . billy : yes . absolutely . i 'm sorry about that . victoria : it 's okay . i know you have a lot on your mind now that jack and ashley are merging the two companies . billy : yeah , that . i would n't have sent jack to paris if i knew that was gon na happen . victoria : are they really gon na go ahead with this ? billy : full steam , as far as i can tell . victoria : look , i know you 've been under a lot of stress lately , which is why i 'm even more grateful to you for stepping up to help my family . billy : it 's all good . sharon : hi . rey : hi . i was n't expecting you . sharon : um ... i held off as long as i could . but , um ... well , you know , i just wanted to give you some time to -- [ clears throat ] [ sighs ] i missed you last night . rey : i missed you , too . sharon : can i come in ? additional sponsorship kyle : [ claps hands ] the toothbrush has landed . lola : [ sighs ] kyle : i 'll hold off bringing the rest of my stuff in case your mom comes back . lola : [ sighs ] no . i chased her off for good this time . kyle : [ sighs ] she 'll realize it 's crazy to lay this all on you . rey and arturo are the ones who kept your accident from her . lola : there is no way you 're gon na convince my mom i 'm not responsible . kyle : well ... she 's wrong . [ chuckles ] lola : please do n't ever say that to her face . kyle : noted . however , i still think not telling her what happened was the right call . lola : she 's never gon na see it that way , kyle . but i 'm sure rey will appreciate that , uh , you 've got his back . kyle : got a lot of respect for the guy . lola : he 's been torturing you for months . kyle : looking after his little sis . same way he looked after sharon when he got fired . guy 's not afraid to stand up for what he believes is right . lola : even if it kills him sometimes . sharon : thank you . for hearing me out . rey : [ sighs ] i should have done that yesterday . sharon : [ sighs ] you know , we 've both been dealing with so much . rey : yeah , but walking out on you did n't help . sharon : you were upset . i understand . rey : do you ? sharon : you were right about getting involved in christian 's case . i - it -- it was unnecessary . and the judge ended up placing him with victoria . but still , you know , i do n't see how wanting to help was a bad thing . you always said that 's what you loved about me . how much i care about other people . it made me great at my job . rey : yeah , and the work you were doing was amazing . but we 're not talking about those people . even christian . sharon : how is helping adam any different ? rey : do you really need me to answer that ? sharon : [ scoffs ] i go out of my way to help a stranger , and you expect me to turn my back on a friend ? rey : oh , wait . we both know that adam 's a lot more than just a friend . sharon : no , that 's not true . rey : sharon , if you ca n't be honest with me , there is no point in having this conversation . adam : you better have a damn good reason for sending my p.i . out of the country . michael : i thought an extended vacation would benefit all parties . adam : look , i need those photos . for kevin and chloe 's sake , i hope you got them . michael : and the negatives . adam : mm - hmm . well , you 're not as dumb as i thought . michael : i am smarter than you ever expected . adam : where are the pictures ? michael : gone . adam : okay . this is getting tedious . gone where ? michael : destroyed . adam : [ sighs ] michael : yes , all of them . all of them . adam : those -- [ exhales sharply ] those pictures were going to guarantee me custody of my son ! michael : and you call kevin stupid . adam : sanders would have done anything to keep those from going public -- michael : you know what happens to people who try to blackmail judges ? i 'll give you a hint -- they grow very fond of orange . adam : no , no , no . my plan -- michael : stood a high chance of blowing up in your face . you 're welcome . adam : [ scoffs ] oh , what , you -- you expect me to think that you did this for me , michael ? michael : i did it for me . thanks to this unholy alliance of ours , if your life implodes , i go down with you . and that , my friend , is not gon na happen . nick : how 'd you know where to find me ? chelsea : i remembered how much you loved this property . nick : i was gon na build our home here . ours and our boys ' . chelsea : that was a long time ago . nick : does n't feel like it to me . chelsea : you said this place spoke to your soul . nick : [ chuckles quietly ] still does . chelsea : did it help ? nick : what ? chelsea : getting away from everything . nick : [ sighs ] yeah . it did . chelsea : i 'm glad . nick : does n't mean i 'm giving up . i will get christian back . just needed to put some distance between me and my brother or i was gon na hurt him . chelsea : you do n't have it in you . nick : i did n't think so , ither . but the only thing stopping me is knowing it could cost me my son . adam : so , this is the michael baldwin you were telling me about . michael : i warned you he was in there . adam : mm - hmm . well , welcome to the dark side . it suits you . michael : do n't get any ideas . i 'm not on team adam by choice . adam : mm . yeah . that `` brotherly love `` thing still escapes me . michael : well , just go after kevin and chloe , and you 'll find out just how powerful it can be . adam : they are lucky that you are so valuable to me . michael : mm . and just remember that my value decreases if i go to prison or lose my license or if my reputation is besmirched in any way . adam : is that so ? michael : it is . which means it 's to your benefit to protect my public persona . so no more clumsy attempts at blackmailing judges . adam : you make a strong case , counselor . michael : good . adam : i agree to cease and desist any and all besmirching . michael : all right . moving on . adam : [ snorts ] oh , there 's more ? michael : you suggested that i run for district attorney . per your advice , i 've reconsidered . adam : you 're launching a campaign ? michael : i do n't want to wait till november . i want to take office right away . adam : and how do you plan to get rid of the current d.a . ? i assume you do n't want me to take care of that . michael : i 'll convince christine to step down so we can hold a special election . adam : why the sudden urge to take office ? michael : mutually beneficial means there 's something in it for me . adam : well , if you ca n't beat 'em , join 'em , right ? michael : i 'll be in touch . adam : michael . screwing with me would be a mistake . phyllis : you sure no one knows you 're here ? victoria : if the transactions had gone through on time , . we would n't be meeting . phyllis : well , you can thank mcnally for that . victoria : mcnally ? mcnally is a top - rate c.f.o . we were all very disappointed when nick lured him away to dark horse . phyllis : well , you can have him back . he asks too many questions . victoria : oh , well , maybe he noticed that most of the assets you 're selling off belonged to newman at one time . phyllis : uh , he said he was afraid that my lack of experience might make someone want to take advantage of me . that is a typical man . victoria : well , let 's just hope he did n't raise those concerns with adam . phyllis : of course he did n't raise those concerns with adam . of course not . and , by the way , adam is a ghost here . people do n't see him , let alone talk to him . victoria : so , are we good to go with this ? phyllis : check your phone . everything should be finalized . victoria : sale complete . phyllis : now you just need to hold up your end of the agreement . victoria : i 'm doing this for nicholas . i just have n't been able to get ahold of him to let him know that i 'm transferring ownership of his properties back to him . phyllis : i 'd like to do that , if you do n't mind . victoria : yes , by all means . be my guest . a word of warning , though -- if you 're hoping that this will win nick back -- phyllis : um ... [ clears throat ] victoria , i need your advice as much as i need roger mcnally 's . victoria : good luck . phyllis : luck is for suckers . sharon : can we just agree to disagree ? rey : about adam ? not a problem . sharon : about how we view him . you know , you 're never gon na stop being a cop . you look at adam , and you see a rap sheet . rey : yeah . says a lot about a man . sharon : okay , well , i have a different perspective . i see adam , and i see what shaped him . rey : yeah . so he 's a toxic jerk because of daddy issues ? sharon : partly , yeah . did you know that his legal name is victor newman jr . ? rey : oh , wow . did he spend his whole life trying to live up to that title ? sharon : he did n't know who his father was growing up . he did n't know who he was . when he found out , it -- it turned his whole world upside down . rey : oh , it must be rough finding out you 're the son of a billionaire . sharon : [ sighs ] he was lied to , rey . his whole life . by everyone . including his mother , who he idolized . and that 's what made him who he is . it 's what motivates everything he does . rey : yeah ? including this custody fight ? sharon : yes , especially that . rey : [ sighs ] explains a lot . sharon : so now you understand why adam acts the way he does . rey : no . not about adam . about you . you do n't love him in spite of how screwed up he is . you love him because of it . sharon : i came here to apologize for offering to take christian in . rey : yeah , well , so far , all you 've done is made excuses for you and adam . sharon : i was awake all night thinking about this . rey : how much time did you spend thinking about us ? our future ? as much time as you spent thinking about adam 's tragic past ? that 's what i thought . sharon : my concerns are valid . rey : sharon , a lot of people grew up without a father . we do n't all turn out to be sociopaths . sharon : okay , so now you 're the psychologist . rey : no more than you . sharon : you know what , neither one of us are qualified to diagnose adam . rey : no . no . but i have spent years listening to felons talk to their girlfriends and wives , and it is always the same thing -- `` you 're the only one that understands me , baby . i ca n't do this without you . `` does that sound familiar ? sharon : i have pity for adam , not love . rey : yeah , well , it 's a fine line , sharon . sharon : you 're being paranoid . rey : yeah . sharon : i have no intention of going back to him . rey : yeah . yeah , right . sharon : okay , this is not about adam . rey : you keep telling yourself that . sharon : this is about mia . she betrayed you , and you do n't trust anyone anymore , and now you 're taking your anger for her out on me . rey : what i 'm feeling is not anger . it is frustration . and fear . i 'm scared for you , sharon . sharon : why ? rey : because i ca n't save you from this . only you can . but you do n't want to . you 're defending a man who 's dragging you down . and you wo n't -- you ca n't stop yourself from letting him . sharon : i will -- i 'll cut adam out of my life if you want me to . rey : you 've said that before . sharon : i will ! rey : you have said that before . sharon : i do n't love him . i love you ! only you . rey : the first time you said that , it felt like my heart was gon na explode . but now it feels like you 're using me to hide your feelings for adam . and i am not interested in being your safety net . sharon : you 're not . rey : it 's over , sharon . we are done . chelsea : it really is beautiful here . so ... secluded and peaceful . nick : it 's the perfect place for a dream home . you know , i offered to build summer and kyle a place up here . but they split up before i could even get the plans drawn . i guess it is the land of broken promises . chelsea : [ sighs ] i do n't know . found what i was looking for today . nick : yeah ? what was that ? chelsea : a reminder . of what 's possible . `` the young and the restless `` will continue . lola : mama , it 's me . i , um ... i miss you . i hope we can talk soon . heh . i love you . kyle : [ sighs ] i could call her . if you think it would help . lola : after what theo told my mom about you ? kyle : [ sighs ] i could kill him for what he did . lola : might reinforce her opinion of you . kyle : i care more about yours . lola : it was n't easy hearing about your life in new york . kyle : i 'm not proud of some of the things i did . most of them . lola : i 'm not judging you . it 's just ... knowing ... about the intense relationship that you had with summer , and how it caused you to go out of control when she broke up with you -- kyle : i was stupid . [ sighs ] i 've grown up a lot since then . lola : and i love the man that you 've grown into . eventually , my mom will , too . kyle : said no daughter ever to her fiancé . lola : i never said when it would happen . kyle : [ sighs ] let 's -- let 's fly to miami . talk to her face - to - face . lola : what ? no . babe , we 're -- we have jobs . we 're getting married . and i already took time off for the honeymoon . i ca n't just take off to miami . kyle : i 'm sure abby will understand . lola : even if i could square things at work , pushing mom will just make it worse . kyle : what if you do n't work things out before the wedding ? lola : then she wo n't be there . it 's my own fault . i should n't have shut her out . kyle : nothing justifies punishing you like this . lola : how would you feel if we had our own daughter and she was in a life- threatening situation ? kyle : [ sighs ] lola : and she did n't mention it to us . do n't tell me you would n't lose it . hello ? kyle : hm ? mm . sorry . got caught on the thought of having a mini - lola . lola : [ scoffs ] kyle : oh , my god . she would be so cute ! and stubborn . mmm ! lola : you have no idea what you 're in for . kyle : it 's gon na be amazing . lola : as long as you like your family hot and spicy . kyle : the spicier , the better . chelsea : well ... this is really nice , but i should probably get going . are you gon na stay or come home ? what ? nick : you called my house home . chelsea : oh . [ stammers ] i did n't mean to presume -- nick : is that the way you feel ? like you 're home here in genoa city ? chelsea : i mean , i guess i always kind of consider this home . i lived here longer than i lived anywhere . nick : you had your son here . chelsea : yeah . and now he is settled in baton rouge , so -- nick : he will be happy anywhere that you are , chelsea . and he 's got a lot of people here who love him . chelsea : yeah , including adam . nick : you ca n't let him dictate your life . chelsea : look what he 's done to your life . and christian 's . nick : so , what are you gon na do ? chelsea : i just need to figure out my next move . nick : well , in the meantime , let 's go home . billy : sharon . hey . sharon : hey . billy : how 's it going ? sharon : uh , i 'm -- i 'm good . you ? billy : uh ... yeah . i 'm -- i 'm okay . you know , crazy at work . crazy at home now that we have another kid at home . sharon : how 's christian doing ? billy : he 's good . you know , he misses nick . but he 's a trooper . sharon : i feel bad for the little guy , caught up in the middle of all this . billy : yeah , well , that 's adam 's specialty , right ? trashing innocent lives . sharon : are you still having dreams about delia ? billy : a few . sharon : is it still causing you anxiety and insomnia ? billy : sleep 's overrated , right ? sharon : have you thought about what i said ? maybe finding a good therapist ? billy : i 've thought about it , yes . sharon : i could help you find someone who specializes in grief counseling . billy : or i could just , you know , continue talking to you . i 'm more comfortable that way . of course , unless you , you know , do n't have time . sharon : um , i 'm actually about to have a lot of time . billy : is that right ? you sending faith to boarding school or what ? sharon : rey and i broke up . rey : thank you . adam : i 'll , uh -- i 'll have what he 's having . sharon : i knew that rey had trust issues because of what happened with mia and arturo . from his perspective , i was crossing boundaries . but from mine , i was just helping a friend . billy : a friend yea high , chiseled jaw , carrying a pitchfork ? sharon : adam is n't -- billy : please . you do n't have to explain that s.o.b . to me . sharon : i just do n't want you to have the wrong idea . i love rey . billy : and yet that demon seed was trying to ruin your relationship every step of the way . sharon : nothing happened between adam and me . billy : my thought never went there . but i will say , if i was in rey 's shoes , i would be worried , too . not that you 're cheating on him , it 's just -- you know , it 's -- it 's adam . i would n't want you anywhere near him , either . sharon : i 'm all he has , billy . billy : well , that 's because he 's poisonous , sharon . he ruins everything he touches . and the most insidious , most disturbing part of it is , he does n't have to do anything . sharon : i do n't think that 's fair . billy : does n't matter if it 's fair . it 's just true . the mere presence of him puts everybody on edge , and it just -- it does a number on you . you know , you 're constantly worried where the next bomb is gon na go off and what damage it 's gon na cause , and ... like i said , the guy is poisonous . sharon : you know , i 've studied hypervigilance , and it can be exhausting . billy : tell me about it . sharon : you 're still not sleeping , are you ? billy : well , when i sleep , i do n't actually get any rest . it 's like i 'm living in a constant nightmare . sharon : dreaming about delia ? billy : every night 's the same . i -- i 'm searching for her . i 'm trying to save her . trying to ... save her from adam . and i hear her calling my name . and as soon as i get close , it 's -- i wake up , and i 'm too late . just like the night i lost her . i 'm always too late . phyllis : hello . you 're very busy . for a guy who just dumped a high - profile client . michael : that 's right . very busy . phyllis : even for an old friend ? michael : [ sighs ] by all means , phyllis , j -- join me . phyllis : do n't mind if i do . what were we saying ? oh , yes , yes . um ... we were talking about how you bailed on nick just hours before the custody hearing . michael : i had a conflict . phyllis : oh , well , that 's bad luck for nick . because if you would have been there , the outcome would have been very different . michael : i told nick to get a continuance . i told nick to find a lawyer . he chose to go it alone . it backfired . that is on him . phyllis : ooh , harsh . michael : nick should have listened to me . phyllis : sounds like you have an inside track . michael : [ clears throat ] i did . years of experience as an attorney . phyllis : mm . well , at least christian did n't end up with adam . michael : i never thought he would . phyllis : years of experience ? michael : adam 's track record . phyllis : yeah , i tried to tell adam he was n't dad material , but he was n't having it . [ sighs ] so i guess nick and adam are n't that different , after all . they both think they know better . michael : yeah , it 's genetically linked . phyllis : i hope they do n't find a cure . because , um , i 'm finding that adam 's arrogance is giving me endless opportunities . [ chuckles ] michael : i am absolutely certain that i do n't want to know what you 're talking about . phyllis : i think you do want to know . michael : no , no , no , no , no , no . phyllis : you do n't see possibilities with adam ? michael : i steer as far away from your boss as humanly possible . phyllis : oh . so you say . adam : well , i have nothing against day drinking , but i hope this is n't a sign you and sharon are having trouble . [ sighs ] you know , i just -- i just realized that i offered my gratitude to sharon for letting me submit her name to the judge , but i never thanked you . yeah , i know if christian was with you and sharon , you would have helped her make my son feel safe and loved . i would n't have asked otherwise . rey : yeah . we both know that 's not why you asked her . adam : because she is the best person to mother christian . rey : sharon may buy that , but i don't . adam : okay . what other reason , then ? rey : you knew there was no way that the judge would choose sharon over victoria . so you used your son 's custody hearing to suck her further into your sick little world . adam : wow . i am , uh , not sure where all this vitriol is coming from . wait . wait a minute . i -- i did cause problems for you guys . man , i am -- i am so sorry . lola : i 'm glad she got back safely to miami . yeah . she is . really mad at me . hopefully . can you just tell mom that i love her ? [ snorts softly ] thanks , arturo . kyle : [ sighs ] she made it home okay ? lola : mia and arturo went to go check on her . kyle : i 'm surprised she did n't throw them out . lola : oh , she was really mad at him . and then the baby kicked , and they let her touch it , and she forgot all about it . kyle : right . if arturo had n't have been screwing around with mia , she - never would have gone after abby , and you would n't have ended up in the hospital . lola : yeah . he basically caused this whole fiasco , and yet i am the one mom 's not speaking to . kyle : yeah . it 's pretty messed up . lola : welcome to my world . or should i say arturo 's world . there is nothing that woman wo n't forgive him for . kyle : which means she 'll eventually come around with you . lola : yeah , that 's what arturo said . kyle : and you do n't believe it ? lola : when it comes to my mom , `` eventually `` can be a very long way off . kyle : or it could be another 10 minutes from now . lola : [ snorts ] ever the optimist . kyle : it 's out of our control . unlike our wedding . lola : hmm . i guess you forgot . i have no say in that , either . kyle : you already made the most important choice . lola : and i could have sworn i chose a more humble model . kyle : you saying you 're changing your mind ? lola : does that answer your question ? kyle : not sure . lola : okay . how 'bout now ? kyle : mnh - mnh . lola : oh , okay . kyle : no . lola : how 'bout now ? kyle : uh , closer . lola : [ laughs ] sharon : if you 're dead set on not seeing a therapist , you 've got to come up with some way to deal with these dreams you 're having . billy : i 'm open to suggestions . sharon : well , how about cutting back on caffeine ? billy : [ sighs ] it 's the only thing that keeps me awake during the day . sharon : yeah , but it also prevents you from sleeping at night . and that 's important , billy , or you wo n't be any good to anybody . billy : i know . i 'm -- i 'm -- my body 's out of whack , and i do need to get it back on schedule . sharon : how about yoga or acupuncture ? really , any form of exercise . billy : well , i was actually thinking of something a little more simple . sharon : like what ? billy : victoria was taking sleeping pills when she was dealing with all the j.t . stuff . so ... sharon : yeah . that could work . but you need to see a doctor . billy : yeah , no . of course . sharon : pills can help you sleep , but you 're not really dealing with the problem . and they can be really addictive . adam : okay , the last thing i want to do is hurt sharon . she is the only person that has been on my side since i came back to genoa city . she has gone out of her way to support and defend me , even when it was n't a popular thing to do . she has been a much better friend than i deserve . rey : no argument here . adam : okay . then what is it ? why does the idea of me and sharon being friends light you up so much ? rey : [ chuckles ] you know , it 's ironic how you both keep using that word . since you are so much more than a friend to sharon , and she is so much less to you . adam : mm . [ chuckles ] okay , how do you think i see sharon , dr . rosales ? rey : as prey . adam : hmm . well , if that were true , i would have to hunt her down . and i don't . because she 's going to come to me , rey . rey : yeah . maybe sooner than you think . nick : so , what can i do for you , mr . tulane ? daryl : please , call me daryl . nick : all right , daryl . you said you 're an attorney . are you here to see me ? daryl : actually , i need to see chelsea boudreaux . i understand she 's staying here . nick : you mind if i ask what this is about ? daryl : no need to worry about this . i have some good news for her . chelsea : hey , nick , do you -- daryl ! daryl : hello , chelsea . chelsea : what are you doing here ? daryl : i 'm about to make you a very rich woman .Summarize.[/INST]at adam 's , michael tells him he destroyed the photos . adam is angry and tells that the photos guaranteed him custody of christian . michael warns him against going after chloe and kevin and tells him he is going to run for da . he tells adam he will convince christine to step down sooner and alludes that there is something in it for him . sharon arrives at rey 's . they agree they miss each other and sharon argues she was only helping christian . the two argue back and forth about adam and rey announces they are done . meanwhile at the coffee house , billy assures victoria he is more than okay about christian . later billy runs into sharon and admits he is still having a tough time , and sharon tells him she will have plenty of time to listen to him as she and rey broke up .</s> | 1,679 |

[ scoffs ] what a monster ? elena : it was n't about the money , per se . it was about the fact that he went behind my back and did n't talk to me about it . you know , i 'm independent , and i 've always paid my own way . and now i 'm living at his house rent - free . and the night that we finally , you know , he paid off my loans , and it made me feel really weird , you know ? nate : okay , okay . i can see how you might have taken it that way . but that is not devon 's m.o . at all . elena : well , i tried to tell him how i felt about it , and i could tell he did n't understand . nate : i think you guys are misunderstanding each other . devon 's family , so i might be a bit biased , but maybe i can help you see where he 's coming from . michael : so ... what evidence do you have that , uh , chloe might still be alive ? kevin : i 've been living with her for the past two years . michael : [ scoffs ] kevin : she faked her death . i found out right after the funeral , when she opened up her own casket and popped out . michael : like a horror movie . kevin : scared me so bad i passed out . and it just got crazier from there . michael : it got crazier ... kevin : okay , the details are n't important , but i created a new identity for her , and we 've been living in portland ever since . michael : so , when you said that you needed to leave town to start a new life , you were n't kidding . now , if i would have know , if i would have -- kevin : i know ! i hated lying to you , but i had to protect bella and chloe . michael : yeah , i get that ! i get that ! so you guys were there , just living happily ever after ? ! kevin : until you called and said adam was alive . michael : well , i did n't know chloe was alive , too ! and only one person should be allowed to come back from the dead at a time ! kevin : yeah .

[ sighs ] let 's say that you invite someone on a first date ... devon : mm - hmm . mariah : ... and you go to the gcac . well , you guys are sitting down , and she comments on how nice the place is , and why you chose it . well , you 're not gon na lie . so you 're five minutes in , and she already knows that you own the joint . and then let 's say you go on a second date , and you choose society . well , then , that same process starts over again . devon : mm . mariah : let 's say it goes well , and then she goes back to your penthouse -- devon : i get it . i get you . mariah : and even if none of those scenarios occur , people still love an online search . which brings me back to the very first thing i said , which is , your money is always going to be a factor in your relationships . and women are gon na treat it very , very differently . i mean , hilary saw it as the billion- dollar frosting on the cake . devon : [ chuckles ] mariah : and when you and i were dating , i could never reciprocate any of the grand gestures that you did , and i was okay with that . others may not be . devon : right . i do n't expect elena to reciprocate anything , though . mariah : i know that . and you know what , she probably does , too . but that was a big , bold move . i mean , right out of the gate . you guys are still just getting to know each other . and it 's not like you took her on a fancy date or you bought her a purse . i mean , you paid off thousands of dollars of debt . and i know that your heart is in the right place , but ... you kind of took away her agency . it 's like what you wanted to do for her mattered more than what she wanted . devon : all right . i -- the last thing i want to do is make her feel powerless . mariah : but that 's kind of what you did . and i very much doubt she wants to be indebted to the guy that she 's dating . devon : so you 're saying i made her feel like we 're not equals . and then , when she tried to tell me , i did n't hear it . mariah : yeah . devon : yeah . mariah : you hear it now ? devon : yeah , i do . mariah : good . devon : i do . mariah : well , then , uh , quit talking to me and go find her . devon : i just hope it 's not too late . thank you so much for talking to me . mariah : you 're so welcome . devon : see ya . mariah : see ya . devon : [ smooches ] bye . nate : devon is generous with his money because he knows what it 's like to be broke . he had nothing until he went to live with neil and dru . elena : yeah , he told me . and i can appreciate that . but that does n't mean he gets to make decisions about my life . nate : i get it . and i 'm surprised devon does n't , because he 's been where you are . when he inherited all that money from katherine chancellor , he struggled with it . felt guilty because he did n't earn it . then he realized how much good he could do with it , and his feelings changed . devon helps kids and strangers . he paid off everyone 's layaway account at fenmore 's last christmas . elena : and all of that is amazing . but i 'm not a kid . nor am i a stranger in need . i 'm his partner . nate : he probably thought he was helping you the same way he helped jett . you did n't have a problem with that . elena : that 's not the same . jett does n't make out with devon . nate : [ chuckles ] all i 'm saying is , devon has a giving spirit . like neil . that 's just who he is . i just ca n't see devon doing what he did to make you feel small or to get one over on you . elena : and you 're probably right . but he still discounted my feelings . and if i have a problem with something , he has to be able to hear it . otherwise ... it 's a deal - breaker . nate : okay , here 's what i would say -- go talk it out with him . give him one more chance . kevin : i needed some leverage to get chloe back . so i came to town , i laid low , and i spied on adam . michael : [ groans ] i do n't like the way this is going . kevin : i saw him with phyllis a few times and i figured they were a couple . so i kidnapped her . to trade for chloe . michael : what the hell ? kevin ! phyllis and adam are n't a couple . they 're like two human porcupines ! it would never work ! kevin : i 'm aware of that now . michael : you could n't get your facts straight before you [ inhales deeply ] committed multiple felonies ? ! kevin : i told you you did n't want to know . michael : well , for once , you 're right ! nick : if you gave a damn about this kid you suddenly want to father , you would not be ripping him away from his home and the people who love him . adam : i admit , you have been a decent stand - in for me . but now it is time for christian to know his real dad . nick : no , his real dad reads him books every night , and takes him to ball games while you 've been skulking around in vegas doing god knows what . adam : you 're right . and the years i lost only made me realize how big a void there is in my life , how badly i want to know my kid , and how important it is for him to know me . nick : i am never giving him up , ever . adam : my lawyers will be asking for a new dna test . i will prove that he 's mine . victoria : you 're a bastard . adam : oh . you 're still here . and i see that the gloves are off . i 've hired the best lawyers money can buy , and i can afford to fight for as long as it takes . because i have a brand - new , almost embarrassingly huge infusion of cash . nick : no amount of money will ever buy you my son . victoria : what is wrong with you ? this is how you show your love for christian ? it 's so twisted ! adam : hey , i made nick a perfectly acceptable offer . he refused . so he left me no choice but to take him to court . victoria : you always have a choice . and you chose to hurt him in the worst possible way . and christian ! think about that . adam : okay , christian is all that i think about . victoria : this is gon na come back to haunt you . adam : i see that you have moved on from insults to threats . and that 's fine . because i 'm nothing but grateful to you . you turned everything around for me . i owe all of this to you . nick : michael , it 's me . i need to talk to you now . adam 's suing me for custody of christian . michael : so , you made a series of mistakes , massive errors in judgment that led us to here -- this moldy hole in the wall . kevin : i - i do n't need your attitude . i have enough to deal with right now . michael : you 're right . i 'm sorry . this is n't getting us anywhere . nick and summer ca n't stop worrying about phyllis . paul is looking into her disappearance , so where -- she 's the one who escaped . of course she did . because you 're you and she 's phyllis . kevin : this is n't funny . look , adam must at least care about her a little , because he agreed to let chloe go if i deliver her to him . no clue what i 'm gon na do now . michael : you should have come to me the second chloe went missing . [ kevin huffs ] i am here now , and we are gon na fix this . kevin : what are you doing ? michael : i 'm gon na call paul , i 'm gon na tell him what happened and beg for leniency on your par -- was that really necessary ? ! look , this whole story is gon na come out eventually , so we should try to get ahead of it . kevin : you ca n't tell the police . if they find chloe , they will lock her up , and she 's gon na spend the rest of her life in a prison psych ward . michael : [ sighs ] do n't take this the wrong way , kevin , but chloe has a history of attempting to murder adam , so maybe a psych ward is not such a bad idea . kevin : that would be the worst possible place for her . yes , she made a mistake going after adam again , but -- michael : no , no , no . shooting someone is not an `` oopsie - daisy . `` kevin : [ sighs ] look , adam -- adam triggers something in chloe 's brain where it just clicks , and she becomes a different person . but there is so much more to her that that . absent of adam , we have a great life . a happy home . and she is a terrific mother to bella . if you call the cops , bella could lose both of her parents , because i will go down right alongside chloe . michael : which is why we should plead our case to paul now , to -- kevin : no . michael : before you get caught . michael : no ! there is no way he and christine show me any mercy . you know it 's true . please . just help me get chloe back to bella . i promise you , once we are home , i will make sure she gets the help she needs . and i promised adam that she will never step foot near him again . i will make sure of that . but no one can ever know what really has happened . michael : you are putting me in a terrible position . kevin : you put yourself there when you followed me . michael : does phyllis know you 're the one who nabbed her ? did she see your face ? kevin : i do n't think so . i was very careful . and it 's not like adam can afford to admit what he 's done , either . michael : what , so -- so , phyllis is free , and adam just brings chloe back and returns her , and that 's the end of it ? this is adam we 're talking about . it ca n't be that simple . kevin : it 's not . quite . there 's one more condition . michael : well , there 's the other shoe . kevin : he wants me to stay in town a while and help him out . michael : help him out with what ? kevin : i do n't know . michael : no . that 's bad . that 's not happening . who knows what he might ask you to do . kevin : i do n't care . i will do anything to get chloe back . michael : [ inhales deeply ] all right . okay . maybe that 's our best option for now . kevin : it is . i promise you . michael : i hope so . kevin : i have to go . adam needs an update . `` the young and the restless `` will continue . elena : devon ? are you home ? [ jingles keys ] devon ? devon : hey . elena : hi . devon : i 'm glad you 're back . i was n't really sure if you 'd want to see me after the way we left things . elena : i , um ... had a lot of time to think about things . and my feelings have n't really changed or gone away , but ... i feel like we owe it to ourselves to at least talk about this . devon : i completely agree with you . i 'd love to talk . adam : i was wondering when i would hear from you . what 's the , uh , status on phyllis ? kevin : she 's back out in the world . adam : mm - hmm . how did she react when you let her go ? kevin : um ... we never came face - to - face . adam : huh . that 's a rare smart move on your part . where is she now ? kevin : i do n't know . adam : meaning you do n't know if she went back to the suite to take a bubble bath or straight to the police station ? kevin : if she went to the cops , she 's not gon na be able to tell them much . so , let 's finish our deal . phyllis goes free . i get chloe . adam : something 's not feeling right . afraid i 'm gon na need more than your word to prove you followed through , kev . kevin : i did everything you asked . adam : then why are you lying about it ? michael : i 'd be more than happy to help you fight this , but , uh , i 'm a little surprised you want me . nick : you know , i despised you for representing my father in our custody battle . but you succeeded . christian went home with his grandfather because you were willing to do whatever it took to win . and i need you to do that for me now . michael : i fight for my clients . that 's what i do . but i was on the wrong side of that one . nick : well , you 're on the right side now . adam does n't just get to change his mind , out of the blue decide he wants to be a father again . i know him . he gets bored easily , then he moves on to the next shiny thing . well , what happens when he does that to my son ? i am not gon na let him ruin this little boy 's life because of some delusional father / son relationship he 's cooked up in his mind . michael : okay . it should n't be too hard to find a few things that might disqualify him as a parent . my guess is that he has n't been a saint since he 's been home . nick : he is the same evil , vindictive bastard he has always been . but we need to teach him a lesson -- that he does n't just get to play god with other people 's lives . michael : you 're absolutely right . and it would be my pleasure to help you do that . elena : oh , i , um ... i saw those thank - you cards . what are they for ? devon : my old elementary school was , uh , running low on computers , so i donated a few . elena : what 's `` a few `` ? devon : 50 . elena : 50 . devon : yeah . 50 . and i 'm not gon na feel bad about doing it , either . elena : i do n't want you to feel bad about it . i think it 's wonderful . and i understand that , for you , buying 50 computers is like buying a cup of coffee . devon : yeah . i wish the school would have kept the donation anonymous . but it 's nice to read the -- the notes from the kids . i know what you 're thinking . elena : no , you don't . devon : you 're right . i don't . but i hope that you 're not thinking that i treated you like a cause . or like i just -- i tried to solve all your problems by writing a check like some big shot . elena : that 's not what i was thinking . in that exact order . but you 're right . you know , i 'm not one of your charities . devon : i know you 're not . i know . and i understand how i made you feel like it . elena : yeah , and i do n't need anyone to rescue me . i need someone to stand by my side . devon : that 's all i want to do . when you told me how upset it made you , i should have listened to you . i -- i never meant to make you feel like i was disrespecting you . 'cause i respect you like crazy . and i care about you just the same . so , i hope that you can find it in your heart to forgive me for what i did . kevin : everything i said is true . phyllis is at large . watch out , genoa city . adam : do i need to remind you what 's at stake here ? kevin : fine . i went to let her go , and when i got there , she was already gone . adam : [ scoffs ] you ... you miserable oaf . kevin : what ? you wanted her free . she 's free . so give me chloe . we 're done . adam : you are in no position to make demands . we said once phyllis had her freedom , we would take it from there . okay ? so let 's talk about what comes next . nick : great . [ sighs ] you , uh , feel like you can screw me over and then just walk into my house uninvited ? victoria : i did n't think you would open the door if i knocked . nick : well , you 'd be right . victoria : then i did the right thing . i came here to apologize . nick : for giving adam enough money to steal my life ? victoria : i never envisioned what he would do with that money that i gave to him . nick : well , we both agree on that , vick . victoria : but if you remember , we both thought that adam was ready to walk away from genoa city and start a new life with chelsea . that was his plan before he was presumed dead . and when chelsea and connor were in his life , he was never interested in christian . that 's why i gave him her number . nick : well , that did n't work out very well , either . victoria : i thought she would be happy to hear that he was alive , nick . nick : well , you gave adam too much credit . so did dad . and now christian is the one who 's paying for it . victoria : [ sighs ] how can we make this right ? i - i want to help you . i mean , maybe if we put our heads together , we can think of something . nick : no . no , you 've done more than enough already . just ... leave . please . victoria : nicholas -- nick : vick , lock the door on your way out .

[ sighs ] i knew she was gon na find out about adam eventually , and i thought that she should hear it from me . michael : oh . and then she lost it ? kevin : no . actually , i thought she handled it really well . she did n't even argue when i said we should move out of our house to be safe . [ sighs ] then she disappeared . michael : she went after adam again . kevin : when i heard he 'd been shot , i knew it was her . michael : and he survived again . kevin : yeah , he -- he got some thug in vegas to confess to the shooting so he could carry out his own version of justice . michael : why ? what did he do ? is chloe okay ? kevin : he 's been holding her captive . so i came here to get her back . michael : wait , so -- so you came here to get her back . you think he was keeping her in this room ? but she escaped ? kevin : we -- no . michael : then why are we here , kevin ? kevin : [ inhales sharply ] that -- that 's a whole other story . victoria : you know , it does n't have to be like this . adam : i could n't agree more . none of this had to happen . victoria : then make it right . adam : i never made it wrong , victoria . i merely did what i had to do . what any parent would do . victoria : there is still time to turn things around . adam : if i give dark horse back to nick , we 're suddenly gon na be some big , happy family ? victoria : it would be the first good step in putting things behind us . adam : you 're just trying to assuage your guilt . the question is , how far are you willing to go ? victoria : try me . adam : okay . uh ... how about i give nick his company back and i take the c.e.o . job at newman . would that work for you as a fair exchange ? victoria : that 's not happening . adam : mm . so , basically , you are willing to do anything to help nick , as long as it does n't interfere with your own ambition . victoria : ambition is not a dirty word . not in our family , it 's not . adam : mm . nick : adam ! where are you ? ! adam : someone got my special delivery . nick : you 're lucky i do n't shove those papers right down your throat . adam : afternoon , nicholas . victoria : what 's wrong ? what happened ? nick : adam 's suing me for full custody of christian . oh my goodness ! mariah : you have to know that your money is always going to be a factor in your relationships . devon : yeah , but i do n't sit down on the first date and broadcast how much money i have . i do n't do that on any dates . mariah : no , i know , because you 're an amazing , grounded , wonderful guy , and anybody that ends up in a relationship with you is going to be very fortunate because of the overall great guy that you are . devon : i appreciate you saying that , but i 'm not following . what 's ... ? mariah : okay . [ sighs ] let 's say that you invite someone on a first date ... devon : mm - hmm . mariah : ... and you go to the gcac . well , you guys are sitting down , and she comments on how nice the place is , and why you chose it . well , you 're not gon na lie . so you 're five minutes in , and she already knows that you own the joint . and then let 's say you go on a second date , and you choose society . well , then , that same process starts over again . devon : mm . mariah : let 's say it goes well , and then she goes back to your penthouse -- devon : i get it . i get you . mariah : and even if none of those scenarios occur , people still love an online search . which brings me back to the very first thing i said , which is , your money is always going to be a factor in your relationships . and women are gon na treat it very , very differently . i mean , hilary saw it as the billion- dollar frosting on the cake . devon : [ chuckles ] mariah : and when you and i were dating , i could never reciprocate any of the grand gestures that you did , and i was okay with that . others may not be . devon : right . i do n't expect elena to reciprocate anything , though . mariah : i know that . and you know what , she probably does , too . but that was a big , bold move . i mean , right out of the gate . you guys are still just getting to know each other . and it 's not like you took her on a fancy date or you bought her a purse . i mean , you paid off thousands of dollars of debt . and i know that your heart is in the right place , but ... you kind of took away her agency . it 's like what you wanted to do for her mattered more than what she wanted . devon : all right . i -- the last thing i want to do is make her feel powerless . mariah : but that 's kind of what you did . and i very much doubt she wants to be indebted to the guy that she 's dating . devon : so you 're saying i made her feel like we 're not equals . and then , when she tried to tell me , i did n't hear it . mariah : yeah . devon : yeah . mariah : you hear it now ? devon : yeah , i do . mariah : good . devon : i do . mariah : well , then , uh , quit talking to me and go find her . devon : i just hope it 's not too late . thank you so much for talking to me . mariah : you 're so welcome . devon : see ya . mariah : see ya . devon : [ smooches ] bye . nate : devon is generous with his money because he knows what it 's like to be broke . he had nothing until he went to live with neil and dru . elena : yeah , he told me . and i can appreciate that . but that does n't mean he gets to make decisions about my life . nate : i get it . and i 'm surprised devon does n't , because he 's been where you are . when he inherited all that money from katherine chancellor , he struggled with it . felt guilty because he did n't earn it . then he realized how much good he could do with it , and his feelings changed . devon helps kids and strangers . he paid off everyone 's layaway account at fenmore 's last christmas . elena : and all of that is amazing . but i 'm not a kid . nor am i a stranger in need . i 'm his partner . nate : he probably thought he was helping you the same way he helped jett . you did n't have a problem with that . elena : that 's not the same . jett does n't make out with devon . nate : [ chuckles ] all i 'm saying is , devon has a giving spirit . like neil . that 's just who he is . i just ca n't see devon doing what he did to make you feel small or to get one over on you . elena : and you 're probably right . but he still discounted my feelings . and if i have a problem with something , he has to be able to hear it . otherwise ... it 's a deal - breaker . nate : okay , here 's what i would say -- go talk it out with him . give him one more chance . kevin : i needed some leverage to get chloe back . so i came to town , i laid low , and i spied on adam . michael : [ groans ] i do n't like the way this is going . kevin : i saw him with phyllis a few times and i figured they were a couple . so i kidnapped her . to trade for chloe . michael : what the hell ? kevin ! phyllis and adam are n't a couple . they 're like two human porcupines ! it would never work ! kevin : i 'm aware of that now . michael : you could n't get your facts straight before you [ inhales deeply ] committed multiple felonies ? ! kevin : i told you you did n't want to know . michael : well , for once , you 're right ! nick : if you gave a damn about this kid you suddenly want to father , you would not be ripping him away from his home and the people who love him . adam : i admit , you have been a decent stand - in for me . but now it is time for christian to know his real dad . nick : no , his real dad reads him books every night , and takes him to ball games while you 've been skulking around in vegas doing god knows what . adam : you 're right . and the years i lost only made me realize how big a void there is in my life , how badly i want to know my kid , and how important it is for him to know me . nick : i am never giving him up , ever . adam : my lawyers will be asking for a new dna test . i will prove that he 's mine . victoria : you 're a bastard . adam : oh . you 're still here . and i see that the gloves are off . i 've hired the best lawyers money can buy , and i can afford to fight for as long as it takes . because i have a brand - new , almost embarrassingly huge infusion of cash . nick : no amount of money will ever buy you my son . victoria : what is wrong with you ? this is how you show your love for christian ? it 's so twisted ! adam : hey , i made nick a perfectly acceptable offer . he refused . so he left me no choice but to take him to court . victoria : you always have a choice . and you chose to hurt him in the worst possible way . and christian ! think about that . adam : okay , christian is all that i think about . victoria : this is gon na come back to haunt you . adam : i see that you have moved on from insults to threats . and that 's fine . because i 'm nothing but grateful to you . you turned everything around for me . i owe all of this to you . nick : michael , it 's me . i need to talk to you now . adam 's suing me for custody of christian . michael : so , you made a series of mistakes , massive errors in judgment that led us to here -- this moldy hole in the wall . kevin : i - i do n't need your attitude . i have enough to deal with right now . michael : you 're right . i 'm sorry . this is n't getting us anywhere . nick and summer ca n't stop worrying about phyllis . paul is looking into her disappearance , so where -- she 's the one who escaped . of course she did . because you 're you and she 's phyllis . kevin : this is n't funny . look , adam must at least care about her a little , because he agreed to let chloe go if i deliver her to him . no clue what i 'm gon na do now . michael : you should have come to me the second chloe went missing . [ kevin huffs ] i am here now , and we are gon na fix this . kevin : what are you doing ? michael : i 'm gon na call paul , i 'm gon na tell him what happened and beg for leniency on your par -- was that really necessary ? ! look , this whole story is gon na come out eventually , so we should try to get ahead of it . kevin : you ca n't tell the police . if they find chloe , they will lock her up , and she 's gon na spend the rest of her life in a prison psych ward . michael : [ sighs ] do n't take this the wrong way , kevin , but chloe has a history of attempting to murder adam , so maybe a psych ward is not such a bad idea . kevin : that would be the worst possible place for her . yes , she made a mistake going after adam again , but -- michael : no , no , no . shooting someone is not an `` oopsie - daisy . `` kevin : [ sighs ] look , adam -- adam triggers something in chloe 's brain where it just clicks , and she becomes a different person . but there is so much more to her that that . absent of adam , we have a great life . a happy home . and she is a terrific mother to bella . if you call the cops , bella could lose both of her parents , because i will go down right alongside chloe . michael : which is why we should plead our case to paul now , to -- kevin : no . michael : before you get caught . michael : no ! there is no way he and christine show me any mercy . you know it 's true . please . just help me get chloe back to bella . i promise you , once we are home , i will make sure she gets the help she needs . and i promised adam that she will never step foot near him again . i will make sure of that . but no one can ever know what really has happened . michael : you are putting me in a terrible position . kevin : you put yourself there when you followed me . michael : does phyllis know you 're the one who nabbed her ? did she see your face ? kevin : i do n't think so . i was very careful . and it 's not like adam can afford to admit what he 's done , either . michael : what , so -- so , phyllis is free , and adam just brings chloe back and returns her , and that 's the end of it ? this is adam we 're talking about . it ca n't be that simple . kevin : it 's not . quite . there 's one more condition . michael : well , there 's the other shoe . kevin : he wants me to stay in town a while and help him out . michael : help him out with what ? kevin : i do n't know . michael : no . that 's bad . that 's not happening . who knows what he might ask you to do . kevin : i do n't care . i will do anything to get chloe back . michael : [ inhales deeply ] all right . okay . maybe that 's our best option for now . kevin : it is . i promise you . michael : i hope so . kevin : i have to go . adam needs an update . `` the young and the restless `` will continue . elena : devon ? are you home ? [ jingles keys ] devon ? devon : hey . elena : hi . devon : i 'm glad you 're back . i was n't really sure if you 'd want to see me after the way we left things . elena : i , um ... had a lot of time to think about things . and my feelings have n't really changed or gone away , but ... i feel like we owe it to ourselves to at least talk about this . devon : i completely agree with you . i 'd love to talk . adam : i was wondering when i would hear from you . what 's the , uh , status on phyllis ? kevin : she 's back out in the world . adam : mm - hmm . how did she react when you let her go ? kevin : um ... we never came face - to - face . adam : huh . that 's a rare smart move on your part . where is she now ? kevin : i do n't know . adam : meaning you do n't know if she went back to the suite to take a bubble bath or straight to the police station ? kevin : if she went to the cops , she 's not gon na be able to tell them much . so , let 's finish our deal . phyllis goes free . i get chloe . adam : something 's not feeling right . afraid i 'm gon na need more than your word to prove you followed through , kev . kevin : i did everything you asked . adam : then why are you lying about it ? michael : i 'd be more than happy to help you fight this , but , uh , i 'm a little surprised you want me . nick : you know , i despised you for representing my father in our custody battle . but you succeeded . christian went home with his grandfather because you were willing to do whatever it took to win . and i need you to do that for me now . michael : i fight for my clients . that 's what i do . but i was on the wrong side of that one . nick : well , you 're on the right side now . adam does n't just get to change his mind , out of the blue decide he wants to be a father again . i know him . he gets bored easily , then he moves on to the next shiny thing . well , what happens when he does that to my son ? i am not gon na let him ruin this little boy 's life because of some delusional father / son relationship he 's cooked up in his mind . michael : okay . it should n't be too hard to find a few things that might disqualify him as a parent . my guess is that he has n't been a saint since he 's been home . nick : he is the same evil , vindictive bastard he has always been . but we need to teach him a lesson -- that he does n't just get to play god with other people 's lives . michael : you 're absolutely right . and it would be my pleasure to help you do that . elena : oh , i , um ... i saw those thank - you cards . what are they for ? devon : my old elementary school was , uh , running low on computers , so i donated a few . elena : what 's `` a few `` ? devon : 50 . elena : 50 . devon : yeah . 50 . and i 'm not gon na feel bad about doing it , either . elena : i do n't want you to feel bad about it . i think it 's wonderful . and i understand that , for you , buying 50 computers is like buying a cup of coffee . devon : yeah . i wish the school would have kept the donation anonymous . but it 's nice to read the -- the notes from the kids . i know what you 're thinking . elena : no , you don't . devon : you 're right . i don't . but i hope that you 're not thinking that i treated you like a cause . or like i just -- i tried to solve all your problems by writing a check like some big shot . elena : that 's not what i was thinking . in that exact order . but you 're right . you know , i 'm not one of your charities . devon : i know you 're not . i know . and i understand how i made you feel like it . elena : yeah , and i do n't need anyone to rescue me . i need someone to stand by my side . devon : that 's all i want to do . when you told me how upset it made you , i should have listened to you . i -- i never meant to make you feel like i was disrespecting you . 'cause i respect you like crazy . and i care about you just the same . so , i hope that you can find it in your heart to forgive me for what i did . kevin : everything i said is true . phyllis is at large . watch out , genoa city . adam : do i need to remind you what 's at stake here ? kevin : fine . i went to let her go , and when i got there , she was already gone . adam : [ scoffs ] you ... you miserable oaf . kevin : what ? you wanted her free . she 's free . so give me chloe . we 're done . adam : you are in no position to make demands . we said once phyllis had her freedom , we would take it from there . okay ? so let 's talk about what comes next . nick : great . [ sighs ] you , uh , feel like you can screw me over and then just walk into my house uninvited ? victoria : i did n't think you would open the door if i knocked . nick : well , you 'd be right . victoria : then i did the right thing . i came here to apologize . nick : for giving adam enough money to steal my life ? victoria : i never envisioned what he would do with that money that i gave to him . nick : well , we both agree on that , vick . victoria : but if you remember , we both thought that adam was ready to walk away from genoa city and start a new life with chelsea . that was his plan before he was presumed dead . and when chelsea and connor were in his life , he was never interested in christian . that 's why i gave him her number . nick : well , that did n't work out very well , either . victoria : i thought she would be happy to hear that he was alive , nick . nick : well , you gave adam too much credit . so did dad . and now christian is the one who 's paying for it . victoria : [ sighs ] how can we make this right ? i - i want to help you . i mean , maybe if we put our heads together , we can think of something . nick : no . no , you 've done more than enough already . just ... leave . please . victoria : nicholas -- nick : vick , lock the door on your way out .

[ scene_break ] langston : i think maybe waiting for mr. j is n't the best idea , but it 's definitely way better than doing things like showing up at his place and taking your clothes off . starr : i left him a letter . i said that i would wait for him . but i have n't gotten a call yet . langston : okay . waiting for him is one thing , but expecting a call -- starr : langston , i love him . you know what that 's like . langston : yes , i do . and so do you . because what cole and you had was real . starr : no , this is real , too . langston : starr , i do n't want you to get hurt . okay ? and if you spend the next year of your life waiting for joplin , you and cole will never get back together . but maybe that 's just your way of dealing with losing him .

[ sighs ] kind of on the tip of my tongue . victoria : i know you said you want to put what happened behind you , but maybe you should try to remember what happened . if noah did this , then we need to know . nick : my dad called the police on noah ? sharon : and what ? you 're just gon na take his word for it ? this is insane ! nick : why did n't you warn us ? we 're family . dylan : i 'm not -- i 'm not siding with victor , okay ? i 'm just doing my job . paul and i , we 're trying to find the truth . noah needed to come back and answer some questions because , frankly , his behavior raises a lot of red flags -- leaving the country , running from authorities . those are not actions of somebody who 's innocent . nick : well , you 've already decided he 's guilty , have n't you ? you do n't even have any evidence . dylan : nick , no -- nick : no , i 'm done with you ! i 'm gon na go talk to the doctor . sharon : innocent . innocent until proven guilty . you ca n't give noah the benefit of that doubt ? dylan : i - i am . i do n't want him to be guilty . but i have to gather information for the prosecutor , because right now , it appears that noah committed a crime , covered it up , and then fled the country . sharon : `` it appears . `` that is not proof . you know the person you should really be talking to is victor . he never does anything without a motive , and you know damn well that he did n't tell paul about noah out of concern for his civic duty . dylan : we 're looking at everything . we 're looking at everybody . we 're trying to get information . sharon : you know , when noah decided he was gon na work for his grandfather again , nick and i had a very bad feeling about it . we could n't see how noah coming in between victor and the santoris could end up being a good thing . and now look what 's happened . i do n't believe that this case is just about billy . it 's about victor . it 's about victor and why he decided to pick up the phone and call paul . so before you haul my son out of a hospital bed and into a prison cell , you need to ask yourself why did victor decide that noah needed to be punished ? and then you can let me know whose side you 're on ! sharon : nick , how 's noah ? nick : so far , so good . he should be out of surgery soon . sharon : well , i 'll feel better when this whole ordeal is behind him . nick : we 've been here before worrying about this kid . sharon : he 's not a kid anymore . nick : but we can still worry about him like he 's one . i see dylan left . i 'm glad . i was about to lose it on your husband . i know he 's just trying to do his job , but ... sharon : when you and dylan were in with noah , noah had another visitor . nick : who ? sharon : marisa . she was with him on the island . and she came back here after his arrest to check on him . nick : where is she now ? sharon : i have no idea . she slipped out before i had a chance to talk to her much or answer any of my questions , which leads me to believe that she knows a lot more about what 's going on than you or i do . nick : did you tell dylan any of this ? sharon : [ sighs ] no . i did n't know if that would help or hurt noah 's situation . i ca n't believe this . how could our son hit someone with his car and -- and then leave and then lie about it ? that 's just not noah . nick : right . i mean , he 's not like his uncle adam . at least he never used to be . sharon : do n't say that . do n't even think it . nick : once he wakes up , we 'll be able to get some answers out of him . sharon : i guess all we can do until then is wait . nick : yeah . [ sighs ] i - i ca n't sit . sharon : you never could . you -- you do know what today is , do n't you ? nick : it 's our anniversary . here we are again together worrying about our family . marisa : and now noah 's in the hospital . chelsea : how badly is he hurt ? marisa : badly enough , or he would n't be there . as soon as i realized the police were sniffing around , i got out in a hurry . i do n't know any more details beyond what sharon told me . chelsea : you saw sharon ? marisa : yeah . she was grilling me pretty hard . lots of questions , but i guess that 's understandable . adam : i do n't know what to say . i wish i could help you . i have no idea -- marisa : shut up . not another word , okay ? god , everything was perfect ! noah and i were finally away from here ! we were gon na start a new life together ! and then you dragged him back to genoa city ! adam : whoa , whoa , whoa . hold on a second . me ? i did n't go to the police . marisa : then who ? luca ? adam : no . victor . marisa : why ? ! adam : i was forced to tell victor that luca blackmailed his way into the internet security project , okay ? apparently noah went to luca and wanted to forge some kind of a -- some kind of an alliance to bring down victor . marisa : and luca threatened to tell victor to make you do whatever he wanted . adam : i kept quiet as long as i could . marisa : oh , i see . so then you exposed noah . how could you do that ? ! chelsea : adam just told you . he did n't have a choice . adam : i knew if i did n't go to victor , luca would . so at that point , my hands are tied . i 'm playing damage control . marisa : yeah . how ? adam : how ? by telling victor that noah 's not a threat anymore , you know ? i told him he 's saying things out of anger that he does n't mean . i told him to drop it and let it go ! marisa : well , you failed ! 'cause noah 's life was in your hands , and you sold him out ! chelsea : hey ! that 's enough ! victoria : why would my father betray his own grandson ? paul : okay , there 's gon na be plenty of time to get answers . i am asking you please to table that discussion for now . billy , we have charged noah for backing over you in the newman parking garage , leaving the scene , and trying to cover it up . we are here to corroborate that . i guess i 'm asking you , do you remember anything else that happened to you ? billy : no , i - i do n't . i still get flashes , but i - i ca n't , uh , i ca n't picture the driver . victoria : well , try , billy . i mean , if noah was involved -- even if he was n't involved , either way , we need to know . dylan : yeah , just -- just try to think back to that night . but obviously do n't -- you know , do n't force anything . victoria : you can do it , billy . paul : right , you had an argument with jack . and you left abby and stitch 's wedding before the ceremony . you went down into the parking garage . and you ran into your bookie . and he confronted you about money that you owed him ? billy : gil was pissed that i could n't pay him . gil : see , here 's the deal . i want my money . billy : [ grunting ] paul : so is there anything else you remember that can help us out ? nick : it 's quite a trip , huh ? sharon : us , you mean ? nick : yeah . high school , fell in love , got married , got divorced , almost got remarried a couple other times . sharon : had a couple of kids together , and then here we are , best of friends now . nick : married to other people . did you ever think we 'd make it this far ? sharon : sometimes , no . but i 'm really glad we did . nick : me , too . sometimes it blows me away , actually . if you 'd told me back in high school this is what the future had in store for us ... nick : sharon , i join you in marriage , to make you my wife for the length of our days , to love and to comfort you in joy and in sorrow , to support and to care for you , to cherish and to respect you . i give of myself , and together with you , in the sight of god , to bring love to the lives of those we touch . sharon : wait , nick ! what are you doing ? you ca n't really carry me over the threshold . nick : oh , it 's tradition , sharon ! sharon : no , i 'm too heavy ! nick : you 're as light as a feather . now , come on . sharon : okay . [ laughs ] nick : [ kicks door ] here it is , mrs. newman . our new home . sharon : oh , nicholas , it 's beautiful . nick : we were so young . sharon : we grew up so fast , though . nick : oh , we had to . we went from newlyweds to parents in record time . sharon : i remember that was hard for you . nick : yeah . it was . i remember the day you told me you were pregnant . sharon : you were ready to become a parent . nick : is anyone ? but then that beautiful boy was born . it changed everything . sharon : noah . [ baby cries ] sharon : your son , nicholas . sharon : noah may be grown now , but ... he 's still our little boy . and we need to do everything we can to protect him . he 's in a lot of trouble . nick : because of my father . billy : [ sighs ] i 'm -- i 'm still getting flashes , but it 's -- there 's , uh , there 's nothing new . i 'm sorry . i ... dylan : well , thanks for trying . paul : okay , if anything comes back to at all , even if the slightest detail , let us -- billy : yeah , i 'll pick up a phone . i 'll call you . paul : all right . good . billy : [ sighs ] victoria : you know , paul and dylan do n't know you the way that i know you . you 're not being honest , are you ? billy : not entirely . victoria : what did you remember ? billy : right before the car backed up , i saw noah 's face in the sideview mirror . victoria : [ sighs ] billy : it was him , vick . he was driving the car . victoria : oh , my god . it 's true , then . billy : i wish it was n't . victoria : you did n't tell paul because you wanted to break e . billy : i did n't tell paul because i 'm not going to the is . victoria : why not ? billy : because noah 's a good , decent guy . he got in over his head . i know the feeling . it 's not his fault that i was lying there beat up on the ground . victoria : that 's not what this is about . billy : vicki , i already told you this . i mean it , okay ? getting hit by that car was the best thing that ever happened to me . it made me realize that i - i got to turn my life around . victoria : you 're being really noble right now . [ sighs ] you 're not gon na be furious with noah ? because i 'm furious with him . billy : i just wish he did n't lie . it just made this whole thing just a mess here . but it 's not his fault , okay ? it was an accident . he could n't have known that i was lying there on the ground . i 'm here . i survived . i 'm with you . i get a second chance with the kids . last thing i want to do is ruin noah 's life over this . it 's not worth it . victoria : are you sure you can live with this , keeping this a secret ? billy : i have to . i have to for us . chelsea : back off ! you do n't come into my house and lash out at my husband , okay ? this entire time , adam has done nothing but to try to protect noah . so if you want to blame somebody for messing up your plans , you go find victor ! adam : i would actually , uh , steer clear of him if i were you . he blames you . thinks you 're the reason noah turned his back on him . marisa : that 's a lie . adam : well ... marisa : noah wanted to get back at victor for the way he treated me ! adam : well , be that as it may , there 's a price for betrayal in the newman family . nick : why the hell would you turn your grandson over to the cops ? victor : i did it to save him . nick : save noah ? from what ? victor : adam put him on a plane out of the country . nick : adam did that ? victor : he and marisa were aware of what noah had done . they convinced him to leave the country . nick : for how long ? victor : i do n't think he intended to come back . nick : am i supposed to believe this ? victor : he 's on the run with that marisa woman , all right ? a woman who is married to another man . that 's not the kind of life that i expect for my grandson . so i make sure he comes back . he 'll face the music . he 'll face his punishment like a man . and he 'll come back here , right here , into this office . he 'll start with me from the beginning again . nick : oh , okay . what are you expecting from me ? a thank you ? victor : i do n't expect anything from you , nicholas . nothing from you ! so kindly leave the office . nick : you know , you may have long - term plans for noah , but right now that kid is in a world of hurt . how can you do something like that without making absolutely sure he 's the one who hit billy ? victoria : well , now we can be sure . i was just with billy . he remembered everything . noah was driving . he 's positive . nick : all right , so what ? i guess billy went straight to paul ? victoria : he does n't intend to go to the police , nick . billy does n't want to be the one that puts noah in jail . he does n't want any mo suffering . victor : do you believe him ? victoria : i know there 's a part of billy that wants noah to take responsibility , and i want that , too . but for billy 's peace of mind and for the sake of peace in this family , i feel that going forward -- nick : what ? you just want to throw him straight to the wolves ? she 's willing to forgive noah and try and move on , but you 're not ! she 's determined to fight this battle for him ! victor : and she 's right to do so . nick : you know what ? save it ! it 's obvious noah is just some pawn in whatever selfish game you 're playing right now . well , you know what ? i hope it blows up in your face . if either of you need me , i 'll be where i belong -- next to my son . dylan : it 's tough on everybody , paul , not just me . paul : right , but if you want to be reassigned on account of sharon , i understand . dylan : [ sighs ] thank you , but i 'm staying put . paul : i figured you 'd say that . i just wanted to throw it out there just in case . i mean , nick and sharon have got to be looking at you like you 're the enemy . dylan : yeah , i just -- i got to believe that we 're gon na find our way through this . how 'd your talk go with victor ? paul : [ chuckles ] well , he dodged most of my questions , but , uh ... he did hand over some solid evidence . marisa : you know what ? i do n't give a damn about victor and his plans for me . all i care about is noah , and right now , i want to make sure he 's okay . adam : all right , why do n't you let me go to the hospital and check on him for you , okay ? you could be charged as an accessory . you ca n't risk being seen right now . marisa : yeah , and that 's a risk i 'm willing to take . adam : uh ... it 's a bad idea ! [ door closes ] adam : you ca n't talk to her . chelsea : it 's like watching a train wreck in slow motion right in front of our eyes . victor : i am glad that you and i agree on the right way to handle this situation with noah . victoria : i hate arguing with nick . [ sighs ] but i ca n't ignore what noah did . victor : do you think billy will follow your lead and tell the police what he remembers ? victoria : i do n't know . i guess we 'll just have to wait and see . you know , dad , while we 're talking about billy , i should thank you for letting him use the top of the tower to propose to me . i hope that means you found some way to be happy for us . victor : [ sighs ] sweetheart , i always want you to be happy , okay ? but i just remember too many things to really be happy about this . victoria : you know he 's not gon na make the same mistakes . victor : [ sighs ] victoria : he 's not . victor : i hate to be so brutally honest with you , but i do n't think this time 's gon na last any longer than it did last time . if that upsets you , i 'm very sorry . barton : everything went well with noah 's surgery . sharon : oh , thank god . barton : i 'm not anticipating any problems . sharon : thank you so much . nick : when can we see him ? barton : you can go in now . he should be waking him any moment . nick : thank you . listen , sharon , um ... before you go in , there 's something you need to know . sharon : what ? about your talk with victor ? i knew it . i knew exactly the moment you walked in how that went . nick : you 're right . it was every bit as frustrating as you 're envisioning , but ... worse . it 's ... it 's not great . sharon : what ? nick : while i was talking to my dad , victoria walked in . she said that billy remembered . it was noah 's face . he -- he was driving the car that hit him . sharon : oh , my god . nick : listen , there 's good news , all right ? billy is not planning on pursuing this . sharon : what do you mean ? nick : he 's not gon na tell the police anything . we 've already started investigating , we need to be prepared . sharon : okay . okay . whatever it takes . like i said , right now we need to go in and be with our son . my poor baby . noah : i 'm in trouble , huh ? nick : yeah . little bit . [ door opens ] nick : this is not a good time , vick . this is not a good time , vick . my poor baby . noah : i 'm in trouble , huh ? nick : yeah . little bit . [ door opens ] nick : this is not a good time , vick . [ door closes ] noah : who 's that ? what -- who 's that ? sharon : it 's -- it 's victoria , but your dad just said -- noah : no , it 's -- it 's okay . will you tell her that ... tell her that she should say what she has to say . victoria : noah , you 've been running from the truth for a long time . and now you 're hurt . and everyone that cares about you is hurting right alongside you . it 's time for you to own up to what you did to billy . chelsea : hi . billy : hi . uh , i 'm actually really glad that i ran into you . do you have a second ? chelsea : actually , you know what ? i do n't . i 'm just here to pick up these oatmeal cookies connor loves , so ... billy : yeah , just -- i need one second . please . i just -- chelsea : i would love to , billy , but maybe next time , okay ? billy : look , chelsea , i could n't help but notice that you and adam were acting a little squirrelly around me earlier , and you 're doing it again now . [ sighs ] look , i got the feeling that you -- you have something you want to tell me . and you wanted to tell me right before adam cut you off and dragged you out of there . chelsea : uh , no , i - i think you must have misinterpreted . billy : no , i do n't think that i did . look , hearing that noah got arrested for the hit - and - run kind of shook a couple things loose in my head . and i can now see his face in the sideview mirror right before he backed up over me . as you can imagine , that kind of came as a shock . but it did n't come as a shock to you . chelsea : what do you mean ? billy : you already knew it was noah , did n't you ? dylan : marisa . marisa : dylan . what is it ? dylan : i got a few questions for you . marisa : in an official capacity ? dylan : mm - hmm . i assume you heard noah 's been arrested for the hit - and - run . marisa : i heard . dylan : anything you 'd like to share about the accident ? marisa : only that he 's innocent . dylan : so you 're not helping him cover ? marisa : no . why ? why would i ? he did n't do it . dylan : well , then how do you explain this ... surveillance video of you at a landfill up in dodge county the day after billy 's accident ? i mean , that 's you right there , right ? getting rid of a set of tires ? adam : got to tell you , man , i do n't know what to say . dad , you called the cops on your own grandson ? victor : it had to be done . adam : no , no , you see , the thing is , it really did n't have to be done . victor : you 're ignoring the bigger picture , son . noah needs to learn that his actions have repercussions , okay ? until he learns that , i do n't want him to be back at the inner circle . it 's not safe . adam : okay , i get it . so , in other words , you 're gon na ostracize him . you 're gon na punish him . you 're gon na keep him on the outside looking in , right ? you 're gon na force him to fight , claw his way back into your good graces . you 're treating him the same way you treated me . victor : are you seeing who 's sitting behind this desk ? adam : mm - hmm . victor : once you 're earned your stripes and you sit in this chair , you make decisions . until that is the case , i call the shots . got that ? [ next_on ] marisa : noah is innocent . i hit billy . kevin : natalie , are you sabotaging your own program ? nikki : noah has been arrested , and he 's in the hospital ! adam : victor 's the one that put him there . | noah wakes up in the hospital . after victor called the police , paul had noah extradited . when island police went to pick up noah , he ran and fell into a bank while marisa was on a walk . she followed him to genoa city . when he wakes up , he is told that he will is arrested for the hit & run of billy abbott . victoria and billy tell adam and chelsea that they got engaged . adam receives a text about noah 's arrest and tells billy and victoria . paul questions victor , who blames everything on marisa . at the hospital , sharon confronts marisa right before noah doubles over in pain . sharon runs to his side and marisa runs off . she goes to adam and accuses him of telling the police about noah . chelsea defends adam and marisa decides to be with noah in spite of the fact that she could be arrested for helping cover up the crime . paul speaks to billy , hoping he will remember more about the accident . billy remembers seeing noah 's face in the side view mirror before he drove off but billy does n't tell paul . he tells victoria when they are alone . nick confronts victor , who says he called the police to save noah from a life on the run . victoria arrives and agrees that noah should come clean about the accident . she tells victor and nick that billy remembers seeing noah but he is n't going to the police with the information . at the hospital , dylan questions marisa , who says noah is innocent . out of surgery , noah wakes up to see his parents . victoria arrives and tells noah that he needs to face the truth . billy runs into chelsea at crimson lights . he thinks she is keeping something from him . he thinks she knew it was noah that hit him . | <s>[INST] nick : hey . good . you 're awake . thank god . noah : what -- what happened ? what happened ? nick : hey , listen , do n't worry about it . you 're gon na be fine . they had to give you a sedative before you got on the flight . that 's why you 're groggy . noah : flight ? nick : yeah , noah . you 're home . [ handcuffs clink ] dylan : and you 're under arrest for the hit - and - run that almost killed billy abbott . chelsea : if this noah bomb explodes this morning ... adam : not if . when . babe , it 's only a matter of time before the media gets wind of what my father told the police , and then all bets are off at that point . chelsea : i suppose you 're right . adam : unfortunately , we both know that i am . chelsea : do you think there 's a chance that vic -- oh , hey , guys . those are some smiles . billy : yeah , well , we , uh , we have good reason . victoria : yeah . the best . chelsea : oh ? victoria : billy and i got engaged . chelsea : [ gasps ] oh , my god , you guys . adam : uh , uh , congratulations . chelsea : that 's awesome . victoria : yeah , we think so . thank you . chelsea : so , what ? was it a valentine 's day surprise ? very romantic , billy . victoria : [ sighs ] billy reserved the top of the tower . we had the whole place to ourselves , and it was decorated . he got down on one knee , and i was shocked . i never saw it coming . billy : yeah . well , you should have saw your face . victoria : we have n't stopped celebrating since . billy : [ chuckles ] it 's because i 'm never gon na forget how close i came to losing you . but that chapter of our life is over , is n't it ? victoria : yeah . billy : time to write a new one . victor : is noah all right ? what the hell happened ? paul : well , after we spoke last night , i woke up a judge and got a warrant for extradition . and when the island police showed up at noah 's door , he took off running . he jumped a railing and fell down an embankment . he suffered some injuries -- nothing life - threatening . but , uh , i can almost guarantee the flight was a little rough going home . victor : my goodness . sorry to hear that . paul : he 's under arrest , victor . dylan is at the hospital waiting to talk to him . but , uh ... i 'd like to ask you a few questions first . victor : all right . i 'll answer them if i can . paul : how did you know that noah was responsible for hitting e scene ? victor : my god . sharon : marisa ! wait . please do n't go . i 'm so scared for noah . marisa : is he ... ? sharon : my son 's hurt . he 's been arrested . i have no idea why this is happening . but you do , do n't you ? you know exactly what 's going on . victor : marisa sierras is the key to this whole damn debacle . she is noah 's off - and - on girlfriend . paul : right . and , uh , luca santori 's wife . victor : and marco annicelli 's mistress . paul : so i take it you do n't like her that much . victor : she 's a deceitful , manipulative woman , all right ? she knew noah 's role in this whole accident . she convink about it . he 's been under her spell for a long time . paul : right . but , i think , victor , you would agree that you and i have both made decisions because of a woman we love . victor : she 's not just a co - conspirator . she cooked up the whole damn thing . paul : how much of this is an assumption on your part ? victor : none of it . paul : really ? victor : really . and i have proof . marisa : please , just tell me . i need to know . is noah gon na be okay ? sharon : he was badly hurt . he has some broken ribs , possibly internal injuries . but they 're gon na run some tests , so he should be okay . marisa : gracias a dios . sharon : now , i need some answers . noah 's father and i had no idea that noah was even out of the country , and then dylan tells us that he 's here and he 's been arrested ! can you imagine what went through my mind ? ! marisa : [ sighs ] sharon : our noah covering up an accident where someone was nearly killed , someone who 's a part of noah 's family ? i - i ca n't begin to understand this . but my every instinct tells me that you know exactly what 's going on . marisa : noah and i were together in the caribbean enjoying a getaway on a beautiful island that was secluded , or so we thought . last night -- last night it was warm . i went out for a walk . i could n't sleep . when i headed back to the bungalow , i saw noah tearing out , island police chasing after him . i heard him yelling , and then nothing . i was terrified . the police found noah where he fell and drove away with him . and n - now here we are . god , this is such a mess . dylan : nick , i 'm sorry about how everything went down , and i wish noah had n't gotten hurt , but the best thing noah can do right now is explain why -- nick : i guess you did n't hear me the first time . it 's not a good time . my son 's in a hospital bed . noah : dad , it 's -- it 's okay . nick : no . noah : it 's okay . nick : it 's not okay . noah : i can talk . nick : you 're not gon na say a word . because dylan is not here as family right now . he 's here as a detective . so you 're not gon na say anything until you have an attorney present . noah ? noah ? hey , hey , hey , hey . hey , son ? son ? dylan : [ clicking button ] nick : hold on . hold on . help 's coming . noah : [ groans ] sharon : and what were you doing in the islands ? marisa : we just wanted to get away for a couple days . sharon : so this was just a vacation or this was something more ? marisa : sharon , can we please -- sharon : no , i need to know , and the more you evade my questions , the more i think that you 're behind all of this . dylan ? what 's going on ? dylan : noah 's having some kind of attack . sharon : what ? ! barton : when did this start ? nick : just a couple minutes ago . he was fine , and then he just doubled up in pain . sharon : is he gon na be okay ? ! barton : i need everyone to clear the room . nick : no , i 'm not leaving . barton : everyone ! now ! noah : aah ! barton : i 'll give a full report when i 'm done ! but for now , let me do my job ! sharon : nick . what 's wrong with our son ? what 's wrong ? noah : [ wincing ] barton : take a deep breath . deep breath . noah : [ grunts ] chelsea : well , um , i am so happy for you guys . this is great news . victoria : thank you . yeah , it 's good news . chelsea : yeah . victoria : the kids are happy about it , too . they have their dad back , so ... chelsea : yeah , i understand that completely . adam : did you set a date yet ? billy : no , not yet , but soon hopefully . second chances , right ? adam : yeah . just make good use of them . billy : plan to . vicki and i are back together for good this time . chelsea : well , it 's been a long and strange journey for you guys , but i feel like it 's working out exactly how it 's supposed to . let me see your ring .

[ clears throat ] you two are gon na be hearing about this sooner or later , so , uh ... chelsea : babe , i -- adam : no , listen , i want them to hear it from me , not some two - bit reporter . billy : sounds ominous . what is it ? adam : noah 's been arrested . victoria : for what ? adam : for what ? um ... billy , noah was the , um ... noah was the driver that hit you and drove away . barton : radiology confirmed it 's internal bleeding . noah 's being prepped for surgery . i 'll handle the procedure myself . sharon : will he be okay ? barton : well , barring any complications , which i 'm not expecting , he should make it through just fine . if you 'll excuse me , i need to scrub in . nick : thank you , doctor . sharon : of course . nick : well , i guess your interrogation 's gon na have to wait . dylan : look , i 'm -- i 'm sorry things are turning out this way . nick : you know , if you were really sorry , you would n't have rushed in there to arrest my son . what proof do you even have that he was involved in billy 's accident ? dylan : we 're working on that right now . sharon : and because you do n't have it , someone pointed the finger at my son ? dylan : we did -- we did get a credible tip . sharon : from who ? was it some random witness that came forward , or was it billy ? did billy suddenly remember what happened that night ? dylan : no , it was not billy . nick : who , then ? dylan : it was victor . victor : that enough proof for you to prosecute miss sierras along with noah ? he needs to learn from his mistake , and she needs to suffer for her actions . what ? you doubt what you just saw ? paul : well , it appears as though marisa ... helped noah cover his crime . but i do n't think he was working alone . i have a feeling you were working right alongside her . then you changed your mind for some reason and decided to turn your grandson in . why , victor ? victor : because my grandson committed a serious crime . paul : you know as well as i do you 've covered up more serious crimes than this . victor : that 's an allegation . be careful . paul : i just ca n't see that you 're out to get justice for billy abbott , of all people . victor : it is justice that i 'm after . victoria : wait a minute . noah ran over billy and just drove off ? billy : does n't mean that he did it . right ? victoria : paul would n't ... billy : just means the police has reason to suspect him . victoria : ... have had him arrested if -- if he did n't have a case . even if my nephew is the last person on earth who would do something like this . chelsea : maybe -- maybe after you have a chance to talk with him , you can -- adam : let 's just , um ... let them sort of handle this on their own . chelsea : okay . i 'm really sorry , you guys . adam : i 'm sorry . and , um ... try not to let this ruin your engagement , all right ? billy . second chances . chelsea : come on . victoria : you 're thinking back to that night , are n't you ? hearing that noah might be responsible , has it triggered any memories ? do you remember seeing him in the garage that night ? billy : no . but hearing the news makes me think that ... [ sighs ] kind of on the tip of my tongue . victoria : i know you said you want to put what happened behind you , but maybe you should try to remember what happened . if noah did this , then we need to know . nick : my dad called the police on noah ? sharon : and what ? you 're just gon na take his word for it ? this is insane ! nick : why did n't you warn us ? we 're family . dylan : i 'm not -- i 'm not siding with victor , okay ? i 'm just doing my job . paul and i , we 're trying to find the truth . noah needed to come back and answer some questions because , frankly , his behavior raises a lot of red flags -- leaving the country , running from authorities . those are not actions of somebody who 's innocent . nick : well , you 've already decided he 's guilty , have n't you ? you do n't even have any evidence . dylan : nick , no -- nick : no , i 'm done with you ! i 'm gon na go talk to the doctor . sharon : innocent . innocent until proven guilty . you ca n't give noah the benefit of that doubt ? dylan : i - i am . i do n't want him to be guilty . but i have to gather information for the prosecutor , because right now , it appears that noah committed a crime , covered it up , and then fled the country . sharon : `` it appears . `` that is not proof . you know the person you should really be talking to is victor . he never does anything without a motive , and you know damn well that he did n't tell paul about noah out of concern for his civic duty . dylan : we 're looking at everything . we 're looking at everybody . we 're trying to get information . sharon : you know , when noah decided he was gon na work for his grandfather again , nick and i had a very bad feeling about it . we could n't see how noah coming in between victor and the santoris could end up being a good thing . and now look what 's happened . i do n't believe that this case is just about billy . it 's about victor . it 's about victor and why he decided to pick up the phone and call paul . so before you haul my son out of a hospital bed and into a prison cell , you need to ask yourself why did victor decide that noah needed to be punished ? and then you can let me know whose side you 're on ! sharon : nick , how 's noah ? nick : so far , so good . he should be out of surgery soon . sharon : well , i 'll feel better when this whole ordeal is behind him . nick : we 've been here before worrying about this kid . sharon : he 's not a kid anymore . nick : but we can still worry about him like he 's one . i see dylan left . i 'm glad . i was about to lose it on your husband . i know he 's just trying to do his job , but ... sharon : when you and dylan were in with noah , noah had another visitor . nick : who ? sharon : marisa . she was with him on the island . and she came back here after his arrest to check on him . nick : where is she now ? sharon : i have no idea . she slipped out before i had a chance to talk to her much or answer any of my questions , which leads me to believe that she knows a lot more about what 's going on than you or i do . nick : did you tell dylan any of this ? sharon : [ sighs ] no . i did n't know if that would help or hurt noah 's situation . i ca n't believe this . how could our son hit someone with his car and -- and then leave and then lie about it ? that 's just not noah . nick : right . i mean , he 's not like his uncle adam . at least he never used to be . sharon : do n't say that . do n't even think it . nick : once he wakes up , we 'll be able to get some answers out of him . sharon : i guess all we can do until then is wait . nick : yeah . [ sighs ] i - i ca n't sit . sharon : you never could . you -- you do know what today is , do n't you ? nick : it 's our anniversary . here we are again together worrying about our family . marisa : and now noah 's in the hospital . chelsea : how badly is he hurt ? marisa : badly enough , or he would n't be there . as soon as i realized the police were sniffing around , i got out in a hurry . i do n't know any more details beyond what sharon told me . chelsea : you saw sharon ? marisa : yeah . she was grilling me pretty hard . lots of questions , but i guess that 's understandable . adam : i do n't know what to say . i wish i could help you . i have no idea -- marisa : shut up . not another word , okay ? god , everything was perfect ! noah and i were finally away from here ! we were gon na start a new life together ! and then you dragged him back to genoa city ! adam : whoa , whoa , whoa . hold on a second . me ? i did n't go to the police . marisa : then who ? luca ? adam : no . victor . marisa : why ? ! adam : i was forced to tell victor that luca blackmailed his way into the internet security project , okay ? apparently noah went to luca and wanted to forge some kind of a -- some kind of an alliance to bring down victor . marisa : and luca threatened to tell victor to make you do whatever he wanted . adam : i kept quiet as long as i could . marisa : oh , i see . so then you exposed noah . how could you do that ? ! chelsea : adam just told you . he did n't have a choice . adam : i knew if i did n't go to victor , luca would . so at that point , my hands are tied . i 'm playing damage control . marisa : yeah . how ? adam : how ? by telling victor that noah 's not a threat anymore , you know ? i told him he 's saying things out of anger that he does n't mean . i told him to drop it and let it go ! marisa : well , you failed ! 'cause noah 's life was in your hands , and you sold him out ! chelsea : hey ! that 's enough ! victoria : why would my father betray his own grandson ? paul : okay , there 's gon na be plenty of time to get answers . i am asking you please to table that discussion for now . billy , we have charged noah for backing over you in the newman parking garage , leaving the scene , and trying to cover it up . we are here to corroborate that . i guess i 'm asking you , do you remember anything else that happened to you ? billy : no , i - i do n't . i still get flashes , but i - i ca n't , uh , i ca n't picture the driver . victoria : well , try , billy . i mean , if noah was involved -- even if he was n't involved , either way , we need to know . dylan : yeah , just -- just try to think back to that night . but obviously do n't -- you know , do n't force anything . victoria : you can do it , billy . paul : right , you had an argument with jack . and you left abby and stitch 's wedding before the ceremony . you went down into the parking garage . and you ran into your bookie . and he confronted you about money that you owed him ? billy : gil was pissed that i could n't pay him . gil : see , here 's the deal . i want my money . billy : [ grunting ] paul : so is there anything else you remember that can help us out ? nick : it 's quite a trip , huh ? sharon : us , you mean ? nick : yeah . high school , fell in love , got married , got divorced , almost got remarried a couple other times . sharon : had a couple of kids together , and then here we are , best of friends now . nick : married to other people . did you ever think we 'd make it this far ? sharon : sometimes , no . but i 'm really glad we did . nick : me , too . sometimes it blows me away , actually . if you 'd told me back in high school this is what the future had in store for us ... nick : sharon , i join you in marriage , to make you my wife for the length of our days , to love and to comfort you in joy and in sorrow , to support and to care for you , to cherish and to respect you . i give of myself , and together with you , in the sight of god , to bring love to the lives of those we touch . sharon : wait , nick ! what are you doing ? you ca n't really carry me over the threshold . nick : oh , it 's tradition , sharon ! sharon : no , i 'm too heavy ! nick : you 're as light as a feather . now , come on . sharon : okay . [ laughs ] nick : [ kicks door ] here it is , mrs. newman . our new home . sharon : oh , nicholas , it 's beautiful . nick : we were so young . sharon : we grew up so fast , though . nick : oh , we had to . we went from newlyweds to parents in record time . sharon : i remember that was hard for you . nick : yeah . it was . i remember the day you told me you were pregnant . sharon : you were ready to become a parent . nick : is anyone ? but then that beautiful boy was born . it changed everything . sharon : noah . [ baby cries ] sharon : your son , nicholas . sharon : noah may be grown now , but ... he 's still our little boy . and we need to do everything we can to protect him . he 's in a lot of trouble . nick : because of my father . billy : [ sighs ] i 'm -- i 'm still getting flashes , but it 's -- there 's , uh , there 's nothing new . i 'm sorry . i ... dylan : well , thanks for trying . paul : okay , if anything comes back to at all , even if the slightest detail , let us -- billy : yeah , i 'll pick up a phone . i 'll call you . paul : all right . good . billy : [ sighs ] victoria : you know , paul and dylan do n't know you the way that i know you . you 're not being honest , are you ? billy : not entirely . victoria : what did you remember ? billy : right before the car backed up , i saw noah 's face in the sideview mirror . victoria : [ sighs ] billy : it was him , vick . he was driving the car . victoria : oh , my god . it 's true , then . billy : i wish it was n't . victoria : you did n't tell paul because you wanted to break e . billy : i did n't tell paul because i 'm not going to the is . victoria : why not ? billy : because noah 's a good , decent guy . he got in over his head . i know the feeling . it 's not his fault that i was lying there beat up on the ground . victoria : that 's not what this is about . billy : vicki , i already told you this . i mean it , okay ? getting hit by that car was the best thing that ever happened to me . it made me realize that i - i got to turn my life around . victoria : you 're being really noble right now . [ sighs ] you 're not gon na be furious with noah ? because i 'm furious with him . billy : i just wish he did n't lie . it just made this whole thing just a mess here . but it 's not his fault , okay ? it was an accident . he could n't have known that i was lying there on the ground . i 'm here . i survived . i 'm with you . i get a second chance with the kids . last thing i want to do is ruin noah 's life over this . it 's not worth it . victoria : are you sure you can live with this , keeping this a secret ? billy : i have to . i have to for us . chelsea : back off ! you do n't come into my house and lash out at my husband , okay ? this entire time , adam has done nothing but to try to protect noah . so if you want to blame somebody for messing up your plans , you go find victor ! adam : i would actually , uh , steer clear of him if i were you . he blames you . thinks you 're the reason noah turned his back on him . marisa : that 's a lie . adam : well ... marisa : noah wanted to get back at victor for the way he treated me ! adam : well , be that as it may , there 's a price for betrayal in the newman family . nick : why the hell would you turn your grandson over to the cops ? victor : i did it to save him . nick : save noah ? from what ? victor : adam put him on a plane out of the country . nick : adam did that ? victor : he and marisa were aware of what noah had done . they convinced him to leave the country . nick : for how long ? victor : i do n't think he intended to come back . nick : am i supposed to believe this ? victor : he 's on the run with that marisa woman , all right ? a woman who is married to another man . that 's not the kind of life that i expect for my grandson . so i make sure he comes back . he 'll face the music . he 'll face his punishment like a man . and he 'll come back here , right here , into this office . he 'll start with me from the beginning again . nick : oh , okay . what are you expecting from me ? a thank you ? victor : i do n't expect anything from you , nicholas . nothing from you ! so kindly leave the office . nick : you know , you may have long - term plans for noah , but right now that kid is in a world of hurt . how can you do something like that without making absolutely sure he 's the one who hit billy ? victoria : well , now we can be sure . i was just with billy . he remembered everything . noah was driving . he 's positive . nick : all right , so what ? i guess billy went straight to paul ? victoria : he does n't intend to go to the police , nick . billy does n't want to be the one that puts noah in jail . he does n't want any mo suffering . victor : do you believe him ? victoria : i know there 's a part of billy that wants noah to take responsibility , and i want that , too . but for billy 's peace of mind and for the sake of peace in this family , i feel that going forward -- nick : what ? you just want to throw him straight to the wolves ? she 's willing to forgive noah and try and move on , but you 're not ! she 's determined to fight this battle for him ! victor : and she 's right to do so . nick : you know what ? save it ! it 's obvious noah is just some pawn in whatever selfish game you 're playing right now . well , you know what ? i hope it blows up in your face . if either of you need me , i 'll be where i belong -- next to my son . dylan : it 's tough on everybody , paul , not just me . paul : right , but if you want to be reassigned on account of sharon , i understand . dylan : [ sighs ] thank you , but i 'm staying put . paul : i figured you 'd say that . i just wanted to throw it out there just in case . i mean , nick and sharon have got to be looking at you like you 're the enemy . dylan : yeah , i just -- i got to believe that we 're gon na find our way through this . how 'd your talk go with victor ? paul : [ chuckles ] well , he dodged most of my questions , but , uh ... he did hand over some solid evidence . marisa : you know what ? i do n't give a damn about victor and his plans for me . all i care about is noah , and right now , i want to make sure he 's okay . adam : all right , why do n't you let me go to the hospital and check on him for you , okay ? you could be charged as an accessory . you ca n't risk being seen right now . marisa : yeah , and that 's a risk i 'm willing to take . adam : uh ... it 's a bad idea ! [ door closes ] adam : you ca n't talk to her . chelsea : it 's like watching a train wreck in slow motion right in front of our eyes . victor : i am glad that you and i agree on the right way to handle this situation with noah . victoria : i hate arguing with nick . [ sighs ] but i ca n't ignore what noah did . victor : do you think billy will follow your lead and tell the police what he remembers ? victoria : i do n't know . i guess we 'll just have to wait and see . you know , dad , while we 're talking about billy , i should thank you for letting him use the top of the tower to propose to me . i hope that means you found some way to be happy for us . victor : [ sighs ] sweetheart , i always want you to be happy , okay ? but i just remember too many things to really be happy about this . victoria : you know he 's not gon na make the same mistakes . victor : [ sighs ] victoria : he 's not . victor : i hate to be so brutally honest with you , but i do n't think this time 's gon na last any longer than it did last time . if that upsets you , i 'm very sorry . barton : everything went well with noah 's surgery . sharon : oh , thank god . barton : i 'm not anticipating any problems . sharon : thank you so much . nick : when can we see him ? barton : you can go in now . he should be waking him any moment . nick : thank you . listen , sharon , um ... before you go in , there 's something you need to know . sharon : what ? about your talk with victor ? i knew it . i knew exactly the moment you walked in how that went . nick : you 're right . it was every bit as frustrating as you 're envisioning , but ... worse . it 's ... it 's not great . sharon : what ? nick : while i was talking to my dad , victoria walked in . she said that billy remembered . it was noah 's face . he -- he was driving the car that hit him . sharon : oh , my god . nick : listen , there 's good news , all right ? billy is not planning on pursuing this . sharon : what do you mean ? nick : he 's not gon na tell the police anything . we 've already started investigating , we need to be prepared . sharon : okay . okay . whatever it takes . like i said , right now we need to go in and be with our son . my poor baby . noah : i 'm in trouble , huh ? nick : yeah . little bit .

i 'd like to see it . sonny : chad 's my friend , uncle vic . everything was going great . i just did n't expect to get blown out of the water with the building inspector . so -- victor : did you have a lawyer look at this before you signed it ? sonny : no . what lawyer 's gon na have a problem with me getting bigger share of the profits ? victor : well , you might have a problem with this section here on liability . tad : good thing ben 's not working . i do n't think he 'd like hearing how you 're playing it right with his sister . chad : yeah , well he should probably keep his temper under control . tad : funny , i 've never had that problem with him . chad : well , you 're not his boss . tad : he 's -- he 's a good guy . chad : oh , yeah ? yeah , he 's a saint . tad : okay , are you on his case because he punched you that one time , or is it because he 's with abigail ? chad : hey , look , i 'm not on anybody 's case . i have no reason to be . everything is going my way . serena : what i 'm doing here is a long story . eric : i 've got time . serena : when i saw your address was a pub , i thought maybe i was mistaken . eric : well , there 's rooms upstairs for rent . serena : when i looked through that window and i saw you sitting there ... i thought my heart was gon na stop . why do n't we go to your room ? and we -- this place ... it 's ... it 's a little public . eric : yeah , well , i move -- i moved out . i got an apartment . serena : could we go there ? eric : my landlord 's doing some repairs . serena : oh . eric : but the pub 's not open for dinner ... yet . and nobody 's gon na come in . serena : after all this time , and all the things that i need to say to you ... it 's kinda hard in a place like this . eric : okay . you know what , i ... think i might know a place . actually , why do n't you come with me ? maggie : i , uh , i get the feeling that parker and i walked in on something , so why do n't he and i go to his room and the three of you can work out whatever this is . melanie : uh , do n't ... do that . um ... i have n't been honest with you about the thing i was dealing with . maggie : okay . melanie : it 's just 'cause i did n't want you to worry . i guess surprising you guys was n't the best idea . but i came home because i want to be with the people that i love most in the world and i missed you all more than anything . and i 'm applying for my old job at the hospital because i just want to be here . i just want to be home . i mean ... as i 've screwed everything up so badly that you do n't want anything to do with me . brady : melanie . knock it off . daniel : look , i was angry . okay ? melanie : you do n't hate me ? daniel : right . like that could ever happen . theresa : okay . confession ? anne : mm - hmm . theresa : i said i left work earlier today because i had a headache , but that was a lie . anne : [ gasps ] uh - oh . that 's gon na go on your hr record , young lady . [ chuckles ] theresa : okay , but seriously , i went by paul 's room a couple of times , but that jordan ridgeway girl had him in physical therapy all afternoon . anne : she is such a straight arrow , right ? theresa : yes . anne : yeah , so i would -- i think i 'd faint if i heard her laugh . theresa : god , i mean , the hospital is full of people like that . they all think they 're saints . i mean , daniel jonas , he acts like he walks on water to get to work in the morning . right ? anne : thank god for me , right ? theresa : totally . although , you know , i did meet this girl that i think might have some potential . anne : oh . who ? theresa : well , i did n't get her name . anne : well , what department is she in ? theresa : wow . um , well , she does n't work there yet , she was just filling out an application , but i think -- i think she said nursing . but , let 's be honest , i was n't paying attention at work . [ laughter ] anne : what exactly did you like about her ? theresa : i do n't know , she seemed fun . anne : mm - hmm . theresa : and ... she kinda seemed like she would be trouble . but in a good way . melanie : i 'm so sorry you got hurt . brady : i 'm glad i was there . melanie : yeah , i think my biggest mistake was thinking i could handle all of this by myself . brady : no , no , i think your biggest mistake was going back into a casino that threw you out for counting cards . melanie : okay , they did n't throw me out . four huge guys hauled me out in front of everybody and it drove me -- i 'm -- obviously , i 'm being stupid . brady : here 's the good news . you do n't have a monopoly on stupid , i -- melanie : yeah , kristin dimera . brady : unfortunately , she was n't the only one . melanie : that 's ri -- that 's right , there was another one . brady : mm - hmm . her name was theresa donovan . melanie : and what did she do ? brady : you know what ? does n't matter . i should n't have even said her name . what matters is that i 'm in no position to throw stones . at anyone . maggie : can you tell me what melanie was talking about ? this have anything to do with brady having that lip ? daniel : well , yeah , but the important part is it 's over and -- and i believe her now . but , uh , you know , she was in some serious trouble . it was no joke . and when i explain to you exactly what happened , you know , i think you 'll agree with me that it 's just ... it 's just melanie being melanie . eric : this is less public . it 's cold . serena : it 's okay . i like the cold . after all those years in the congo -- the heat you could n't escape . eric : yeah , it 's pretty impressive . serena : mm - hmm . cold kind of feels nice . so , how are you doing ? eric : i 'm okay . serena : and this dimera woman , why does she want to ruin your life ? eric : she had her reasons . serena : and if the church knows that you were set up , why are n't you back in the priesthood ? eric : it 's a long story . serena : i 've got time . i always got time for you . eric : well , if i 'm gon na get into that , i hope you got more than a couple hours for your visit . serena : eric , i 'm not visiting salem . i 'm moving here . sonny : so i get a bigger share of any profits . but if the club goes belly up ... victor : then it 's all on you . you could end up with nothing . not even club tbd . sonny : chad would n't do this to me . victor : you read it yourself . i was right , was n't i ? this club was your way of showing will that things could be just as exciting here in salem as they are in l.a . sonny : honestly , i do n't know why i did it anymore . i just ca n't believe i was stupid on so many levels . victor : sonny ? marlena : what sort of insanity are you talking about ? paul : did n't somebody say the definition of insanity was to do the same thing over and over again , and expect some different turnout ? marlena : yes , but that 's simplistic . paul : see , here 's what i do n't understand . you 've been here , what , three times ? and every time ... it 's like you expect me to breakdown and tell you some sob story . marlena : no , not at all . paul : and i keep telling you that -- that i 'm not interested in even talking to you . and you keep coming back . i mean , that 's insane . marlena : you think you 're very clever , do n't you ? paul : no , i do n't . i just ... ca n't seem to figure out why you do n't understand that i do n't need a shrink . marlena : what i understand is what you just did spoke volumes . good luck with that physical therapy . tad : hey , sonny . sonny : i need to talk to chad alone . tad : sure , i 'll just be in the back . chad : hey , there he is . what 's up , buddy ? sonny : just found out the guy i call my friend , my partner , stabbed me in the back . chad : look , i -- i honestly have no idea what you 're talking about . sonny : those papers you had drawn up . did you read them over ? chad : yeah , of course i did . did you ? sonny : no . i trusted you . chad , that liability clause , if that southside club does n't work out , i lose everything . you own this place . chad : okay , only ... if you use up all the contingency money i put in , and the club on the southside goes under . i mean , do you really think that both of those things would ever happen ? dude , you were so high on the place . sonny : you knew this was a bad idea from the beginning . did n't you ? derrick : and the ice machine is just down the hall . but you can call room service and have ice delivered . paul : thanks . derrick : here you go . and i totally understand the need for discretion regarding your stay . paul : so you can be discreet ? derrick : yes , sir . paul : here you go . derrick : anything else you need ... my name 's derrick . paul : thanks , derrick . stop it , paul . you 're on the road again . anne : so you really like this guy ? theresa : oh , no , i do n't like any of them . i just like what they can do for me . anne : oh , and what can paul do for you ? besides , you know , the obvious ? theresa : well ... you know , he can make me forget about brady and about ... anne : uh - huh . theresa : you know , everything that happened . anne : you know , i am so beat . i think i got ta just head home . theresa : wait , what ? we have n't even -- no , we have n't even drank the wine yet . anne : well , why do n't you sneak into paul 's room at the hospital and share it with him ? here . go for it . theresa : really ? anne : yeah . you know , i saw some pictures of , uh , the manager of paul 's old team . this guy is smoking . and the managers , they make the big money for a lot longer than the players , so i 'm thinking you and paul , you start up a thing , and then you 'll finagle a little introduction for me . theresa : well , you got it . anne : okay . theresa : anne , you really know how to cheer up a girl . anne : aw . melanie : totally fine . i 've already talked to abigail and she filled me in on theresa . she sounds like a nightmare . brady : yeah . all i 'm gon na say is if you see her , will you do me a favor ? just run the other way . melanie : that 's all you 're gon na say ? brady : mm - hmm . what she put me through was my fault . it was all my fault . so just please forget about it . melanie : see , that 's gon na be kinda hard to do because she sounds like a bitch and she put a lot of people that i care about through hell . parker : melanie , come back . brady : you are being summoned . melanie : thank you for saving me . and , um , keep some -- some ice on -- brady : ice on my -- melanie : yeah . dad filled you in ? maggie : mm - hmm . i thought you were smarter than that . melanie : i am now . maggie : i hope so . melanie : hey , parker . i 'm back . parker : come play with me . melanie : okay . uh , i will in a second . maggie : honey ? you and brady could have been beaten up . or thrown in jail . or both . melanie : nothing like that 'll happen again , i promise . okay ? maggie : come here . i know you know this . i can never stay mad at you . nicole : look , i know daniel and jennifer fought over something i did but , you know , they had problems that did n't have anything to do with me . that 's what daniel said . abe : something you did ? that 's a little vague , do n't you think ? you -- you tried to keep eric from going back to the priesthood . do his problems have nothing to do with you ? nicole : always great running into you , abe . abe : same here . serena : i 'll be here for at least a year doing some medical research , as a journalist , using the facilities over at university hospital . eric : i 'm a little surprised you did n't mention it to me . i mean , i know we were n't in contact all that frequently , but you could have at least mentioned it to me in an email . serena : honestly ? i was n't sure what your reaction would be . melanie : well , i do n't know if that one goes there . parker : maybe it goes with ... melanie : still -- just like me . it 's not gon na fit , but he 's gon na try and make it work . and i will , okay , i 'm gon na -- i 'm gon na be better . i have to be , right , if i 'm gon na be a nurse again . maggie : sweetheart . i know what bad shape you were in when you left here . melanie : yeah , well , that 's not an excuse to be the girl that i used to be . i know that . i told dad i would go with him to say hi to everyone at the hospital and turn my application in , so . i 'm pretty confident i 'll get my job back . maggie : that would be great . melanie : might as well just do it now . is maxine -- is she working the late shift ? daniel : yes , she is . melanie : okay . might as well get the ball rolling . maggie : yeah . melanie : okay . um , all right , man . i 'm gon na be back , okay ? i promise . oh . okay . um , oh ... could i -- can i borrow the keys to the car , maybe ? i 'm sorry . thanks . love you , mag . oh , um , could i also ... okay . marlena : oh , victor . what a surprise . victor : your receptionist said you did n't have a patient for a while . marlena : well , she 's right again . uh , come sit down . what 's going on ? victor : i just talked to sonny . i 'm worried about him and will . chad : i swear that i did not know any of those things were wrong with the new club . sonny : but you had an idea , right ? chad : you liked the place . that is all that i cared about . sonny : so that 's why you slipped the agreement under my nose ? because you care about me ? chad : look . that clause is never gon na come into play . sonny : but if i -- if -- if it does , i lose everything . do you understand ? i lose everything . chad : okay , sonny -- sonny : i lose my share to this club . chad : sonny . none of that stuff is gon na happen . i promise . okay ? you are gon na find a way to make it all work out . i have faith in you , okay . now look , i have a conference call in 15 minutes with kate and i have to go . hey ... it 's gon na work out . sonny : whether you did it on purpose or not ... i 'm screwed . tad : hey , sonny ? everything okay ? sonny : everything 's the opposite of okay . maxine : girl , you are a sight for sore eyes . are you back to stay ? melanie : oh , that depends . maxine : on what ? melanie : on if i can get my old job back . maxine : there wo n't be a problem with that . melanie : well , anne milbauer is still head of h.r . maxine : unfortunately . melanie : and she and my dad hate each other . maxine : and now she has an assistant that 's even worse than she is . melanie : who could be worse than her ? maxine : do n't worry about it . i 'm about to go on break . i will grab your application off of anne 's desk and walk it straight to the head of nursing . melanie : thank you . maxine : i want you back where you belong . melanie : that 'd be nice . hi . theresa : hi ! both : hey . melanie : you 're working late . theresa : oh , no , yeah . definitely not . um , i was just -- i came back to see a friend who 's a patient , but someone new is in his room . i guess they sent him home . you know , it 's too bad too because ... he totally missed out on an amazing bottle of wine . melanie : were you gon na open that in here ? theresa : well , he had shoulder surgery , so . i mean , you can drink with that , right ? melanie : totally . theresa : totally . [ laughter ] hey , what are you doing later ? do you wan na -- you wan na just go get a pizza and split this ? melanie : oh , that sounds great . um , i just got here , though . i kinda want to spend time with my little brother . theresa : aw , that 's too bad . but , hey , give me your number and we can , you know , we should start something up . melanie : yeah . no , absolutely . theresa : you know , i -- i know i do n't know you and actually , i do n't even know your name , but i feel like we 're gon na totally hit it off . melanie : yeah . brady : i got ta compliment you . i do , turning into that investigative reporter on that casino woman . that was nice . nicole : that broad had it coming . i mean , treating melanie like a criminal and then ordering that creep she brought with her to beat you up , seriously ? brady : well , it was a good thing you called daniel because he helped divert the disaster . nicole : yeah , well , luckily he and i are friendly enough for me to call him . i mean , there was a time not long ago when he might not have taken my call . brady : yeah . nicole : all right . i will say this again . daniel and i are just friends . brady : mm - hmm . nicole : that 's all . what -- what ? say it , go ahead . say it . brady : the one thing i 've always loved about you is that you always call it as you see it . you always have . nicole : mm - hmm . brady : except for when it comes to men . and how you feel about them . you are clueless . nicole : that is not true . brady : really ? really -- how -- how long have we known each other ? nicole : too long . brady : okay . and look at me . take my word for it , your guard is up so high that even when it 's obvious to everyone else , you ca n't admit when you 're falling for someone . nicole : [ scoffs ] eric : you were worried how i would react ? i mean , since when is your career any of my business ? but how could you even think that i would n't be happy to see you ? serena : we 've always been straight with each other , right ? eric : yeah , right . serena : and first , let me say i had a lot of options . eric : i 'm sure you did . serena : but this assignment , it 's amazing . and the subject matter is totally fascinating and i get to do the kind of long arch reporting that i love to do . that has nothing to do with why i picked it . eric : okay , then what did ? serena : you . it 's all about you . my budget used to be a real downer . marlena : you know , the last time you talked me into interfering , it was disastrous . victor : i know , you and i do n't exactly have a stellar record when it comes to that . what the hell is the alternative ? i mean , if sonny is too busy to go to l.a. and will ca n't be bothered coming back here -- marlena : but listen , will is crazy busy back there . victor : oh , he 's a writer . he can do that anywhere . marlena : there is nothing you and i can do about this . sonny and will have to fix this themselves . victor : all right , all right . least it 's only about career and their being apart . marlena : yeah . it 'll be all over soon . victor : i know . one of them could be cheating . sonny : hey , will . i really need to talk to you . things are ... i do n't even know how things are . okay , they 're just crazy and ... i usually can figure it out when i talk with you . so would you just call me back , please . maggie : i thought melanie would be back by now . daniel : eh , she wo n't do anything stupid . i think i got through to her . maggie : yeah , you gave her your car , a wad of bills . yeah , you just drove that message right home . daniel : okay , she is a grown woman , what am i supposed to do ? like , ground her ? maggie : i know . i know it 's just that she has n't had any real focus in so long . daniel : but she has us now . think we can keep an eye on her . maggie : she sounds like she thinks that moving back here is the answer . i hope she 's right . melanie : cool . there you go . theresa : all right . okay . um , so if you get a text from theresa donovan , then you 'll know it 's me . melanie : what ? theresa : theresa donovan , that 's my name . is that a problem ? melanie : [ laughs ] ah ! i 'm melanie jonas . theresa : melanie jonas ? nicole : i am not going after daniel , not even on the subconscious level . do n't worry . brady : i 'm not worried . i think it could be a good thing . nicole : why ? brady : why , because you -- you and daniel , you know each other . you care about each other . could be worth exploring . why not ? nicole : i do n't -- i do n't think i 'm ready to explore . brady : nicole , if you 're holding out hope for eric , honey , that 's not gon na happen . eric : you -- you came here because of me ? serena : you know me . i do n't play games . you knew how i felt about you . i told you when we said good - bye in africa . eric : that was a long time ago . serena : but i did n't fight for you then . how could i fight the priesthood ? you said that 's what you wanted . when i found out you changed your mind , i knew i had to see you .

yeah , he 's a saint . tad : okay , are you on his case because he punched you that one time , or is it because he 's with abigail ? chad : hey , look , i 'm not on anybody 's case . i have no reason to be . everything is going my way . serena : what i 'm doing here is a long story . eric : i 've got time . serena : when i saw your address was a pub , i thought maybe i was mistaken . eric : well , there 's rooms upstairs for rent . serena : when i looked through that window and i saw you sitting there ... i thought my heart was gon na stop . why do n't we go to your room ? and we -- this place ... it 's ... it 's a little public . eric : yeah , well , i move -- i moved out . i got an apartment . serena : could we go there ? eric : my landlord 's doing some repairs . serena : oh . eric : but the pub 's not open for dinner ... yet . and nobody 's gon na come in . serena : after all this time , and all the things that i need to say to you ... it 's kinda hard in a place like this . eric : okay . you know what , i ... think i might know a place . actually , why do n't you come with me ? maggie : i , uh , i get the feeling that parker and i walked in on something , so why do n't he and i go to his room and the three of you can work out whatever this is . melanie : uh , do n't ... do that . um ... i have n't been honest with you about the thing i was dealing with . maggie : okay . melanie : it 's just 'cause i did n't want you to worry . i guess surprising you guys was n't the best idea . but i came home because i want to be with the people that i love most in the world and i missed you all more than anything . and i 'm applying for my old job at the hospital because i just want to be here . i just want to be home . i mean ... as i 've screwed everything up so badly that you do n't want anything to do with me . brady : melanie . knock it off . daniel : look , i was angry . okay ? melanie : you do n't hate me ? daniel : right . like that could ever happen . theresa : okay . confession ? anne : mm - hmm . theresa : i said i left work earlier today because i had a headache , but that was a lie . anne : [ gasps ] uh - oh . that 's gon na go on your hr record , young lady . [ chuckles ] theresa : okay , but seriously , i went by paul 's room a couple of times , but that jordan ridgeway girl had him in physical therapy all afternoon . anne : she is such a straight arrow , right ? theresa : yes . anne : yeah , so i would -- i think i 'd faint if i heard her laugh . theresa : god , i mean , the hospital is full of people like that . they all think they 're saints . i mean , daniel jonas , he acts like he walks on water to get to work in the morning . right ? anne : thank god for me , right ? theresa : totally . although , you know , i did meet this girl that i think might have some potential . anne : oh . who ? theresa : well , i did n't get her name . anne : well , what department is she in ? theresa : wow . um , well , she does n't work there yet , she was just filling out an application , but i think -- i think she said nursing . but , let 's be honest , i was n't paying attention at work . [ laughter ] anne : what exactly did you like about her ? theresa : i do n't know , she seemed fun . anne : mm - hmm . theresa : and ... she kinda seemed like she would be trouble . but in a good way . melanie : i 'm so sorry you got hurt . brady : i 'm glad i was there . melanie : yeah , i think my biggest mistake was thinking i could handle all of this by myself . brady : no , no , i think your biggest mistake was going back into a casino that threw you out for counting cards . melanie : okay , they did n't throw me out . four huge guys hauled me out in front of everybody and it drove me -- i 'm -- obviously , i 'm being stupid . brady : here 's the good news . you do n't have a monopoly on stupid , i -- melanie : yeah , kristin dimera . brady : unfortunately , she was n't the only one . melanie : that 's ri -- that 's right , there was another one . brady : mm - hmm . her name was theresa donovan . melanie : and what did she do ? brady : you know what ? does n't matter . i should n't have even said her name . what matters is that i 'm in no position to throw stones . at anyone . maggie : can you tell me what melanie was talking about ? this have anything to do with brady having that lip ? daniel : well , yeah , but the important part is it 's over and -- and i believe her now . but , uh , you know , she was in some serious trouble . it was no joke . and when i explain to you exactly what happened , you know , i think you 'll agree with me that it 's just ... it 's just melanie being melanie . eric : this is less public . it 's cold . serena : it 's okay . i like the cold . after all those years in the congo -- the heat you could n't escape . eric : yeah , it 's pretty impressive . serena : mm - hmm . cold kind of feels nice . so , how are you doing ? eric : i 'm okay . serena : and this dimera woman , why does she want to ruin your life ? eric : she had her reasons . serena : and if the church knows that you were set up , why are n't you back in the priesthood ? eric : it 's a long story . serena : i 've got time . i always got time for you . eric : well , if i 'm gon na get into that , i hope you got more than a couple hours for your visit . serena : eric , i 'm not visiting salem . i 'm moving here . sonny : so i get a bigger share of any profits . but if the club goes belly up ... victor : then it 's all on you . you could end up with nothing . not even club tbd . sonny : chad would n't do this to me . victor : you read it yourself . i was right , was n't i ? this club was your way of showing will that things could be just as exciting here in salem as they are in l.a . sonny : honestly , i do n't know why i did it anymore . i just ca n't believe i was stupid on so many levels . victor : sonny ? marlena : what sort of insanity are you talking about ? paul : did n't somebody say the definition of insanity was to do the same thing over and over again , and expect some different turnout ? marlena : yes , but that 's simplistic . paul : see , here 's what i do n't understand . you 've been here , what , three times ? and every time ... it 's like you expect me to breakdown and tell you some sob story . marlena : no , not at all . paul : and i keep telling you that -- that i 'm not interested in even talking to you . and you keep coming back . i mean , that 's insane . marlena : you think you 're very clever , do n't you ? paul : no , i do n't . i just ... ca n't seem to figure out why you do n't understand that i do n't need a shrink . marlena : what i understand is what you just did spoke volumes . good luck with that physical therapy . tad : hey , sonny . sonny : i need to talk to chad alone . tad : sure , i 'll just be in the back . chad : hey , there he is . what 's up , buddy ? sonny : just found out the guy i call my friend , my partner , stabbed me in the back . chad : look , i -- i honestly have no idea what you 're talking about . sonny : those papers you had drawn up . did you read them over ? chad : yeah , of course i did . did you ? sonny : no . i trusted you . chad , that liability clause , if that southside club does n't work out , i lose everything . you own this place . chad : okay , only ... if you use up all the contingency money i put in , and the club on the southside goes under . i mean , do you really think that both of those things would ever happen ? dude , you were so high on the place . sonny : you knew this was a bad idea from the beginning . did n't you ? derrick : and the ice machine is just down the hall . but you can call room service and have ice delivered . paul : thanks . derrick : here you go . and i totally understand the need for discretion regarding your stay . paul : so you can be discreet ? derrick : yes , sir . paul : here you go . derrick : anything else you need ... my name 's derrick . paul : thanks , derrick . stop it , paul . you 're on the road again . anne : so you really like this guy ? theresa : oh , no , i do n't like any of them . i just like what they can do for me . anne : oh , and what can paul do for you ? besides , you know , the obvious ? theresa : well ... you know , he can make me forget about brady and about ... anne : uh - huh . theresa : you know , everything that happened . anne : you know , i am so beat . i think i got ta just head home . theresa : wait , what ? we have n't even -- no , we have n't even drank the wine yet . anne : well , why do n't you sneak into paul 's room at the hospital and share it with him ? here . go for it . theresa : really ? anne : yeah . you know , i saw some pictures of , uh , the manager of paul 's old team . this guy is smoking . and the managers , they make the big money for a lot longer than the players , so i 'm thinking you and paul , you start up a thing , and then you 'll finagle a little introduction for me . theresa : well , you got it . anne : okay . theresa : anne , you really know how to cheer up a girl . anne : aw . melanie : totally fine . i 've already talked to abigail and she filled me in on theresa . she sounds like a nightmare . brady : yeah . all i 'm gon na say is if you see her , will you do me a favor ? just run the other way . melanie : that 's all you 're gon na say ? brady : mm - hmm . what she put me through was my fault . it was all my fault . so just please forget about it . melanie : see , that 's gon na be kinda hard to do because she sounds like a bitch and she put a lot of people that i care about through hell . parker : melanie , come back . brady : you are being summoned . melanie : thank you for saving me . and , um , keep some -- some ice on -- brady : ice on my -- melanie : yeah . dad filled you in ? maggie : mm - hmm . i thought you were smarter than that . melanie : i am now . maggie : i hope so . melanie : hey , parker . i 'm back . parker : come play with me . melanie : okay . uh , i will in a second . maggie : honey ? you and brady could have been beaten up . or thrown in jail . or both . melanie : nothing like that 'll happen again , i promise . okay ? maggie : come here . i know you know this . i can never stay mad at you . nicole : look , i know daniel and jennifer fought over something i did but , you know , they had problems that did n't have anything to do with me . that 's what daniel said . abe : something you did ? that 's a little vague , do n't you think ? you -- you tried to keep eric from going back to the priesthood . do his problems have nothing to do with you ? nicole : always great running into you , abe . abe : same here . serena : i 'll be here for at least a year doing some medical research , as a journalist , using the facilities over at university hospital . eric : i 'm a little surprised you did n't mention it to me . i mean , i know we were n't in contact all that frequently , but you could have at least mentioned it to me in an email . serena : honestly ? i was n't sure what your reaction would be . melanie : well , i do n't know if that one goes there . parker : maybe it goes with ... melanie : still -- just like me . it 's not gon na fit , but he 's gon na try and make it work . and i will , okay , i 'm gon na -- i 'm gon na be better . i have to be , right , if i 'm gon na be a nurse again . maggie : sweetheart . i know what bad shape you were in when you left here . melanie : yeah , well , that 's not an excuse to be the girl that i used to be . i know that . i told dad i would go with him to say hi to everyone at the hospital and turn my application in , so . i 'm pretty confident i 'll get my job back . maggie : that would be great . melanie : might as well just do it now . is maxine -- is she working the late shift ? daniel : yes , she is . melanie : okay . might as well get the ball rolling . maggie : yeah . melanie : okay . um , all right , man . i 'm gon na be back , okay ? i promise . oh . okay . um , oh ... could i -- can i borrow the keys to the car , maybe ? i 'm sorry . thanks . love you , mag . oh , um , could i also ... okay . marlena : oh , victor . what a surprise . victor : your receptionist said you did n't have a patient for a while . marlena : well , she 's right again . uh , come sit down . what 's going on ? victor : i just talked to sonny . i 'm worried about him and will . chad : i swear that i did not know any of those things were wrong with the new club . sonny : but you had an idea , right ? chad : you liked the place . that is all that i cared about . sonny : so that 's why you slipped the agreement under my nose ? because you care about me ? chad : look . that clause is never gon na come into play . sonny : but if i -- if -- if it does , i lose everything . do you understand ? i lose everything . chad : okay , sonny -- sonny : i lose my share to this club . chad : sonny . none of that stuff is gon na happen . i promise . okay ? you are gon na find a way to make it all work out . i have faith in you , okay . now look , i have a conference call in 15 minutes with kate and i have to go . hey ... it 's gon na work out . sonny : whether you did it on purpose or not ... i 'm screwed . tad : hey , sonny ? everything okay ? sonny : everything 's the opposite of okay . maxine : girl , you are a sight for sore eyes . are you back to stay ? melanie : oh , that depends . maxine : on what ? melanie : on if i can get my old job back . maxine : there wo n't be a problem with that . melanie : well , anne milbauer is still head of h.r . maxine : unfortunately . melanie : and she and my dad hate each other . maxine : and now she has an assistant that 's even worse than she is . melanie : who could be worse than her ? maxine : do n't worry about it . i 'm about to go on break . i will grab your application off of anne 's desk and walk it straight to the head of nursing . melanie : thank you . maxine : i want you back where you belong . melanie : that 'd be nice . hi . theresa : hi ! both : hey . melanie : you 're working late . theresa : oh , no , yeah . definitely not . um , i was just -- i came back to see a friend who 's a patient , but someone new is in his room . i guess they sent him home . you know , it 's too bad too because ... he totally missed out on an amazing bottle of wine . melanie : were you gon na open that in here ? theresa : well , he had shoulder surgery , so . i mean , you can drink with that , right ? melanie : totally . theresa : totally . [ laughter ] hey , what are you doing later ? do you wan na -- you wan na just go get a pizza and split this ? melanie : oh , that sounds great . um , i just got here , though . i kinda want to spend time with my little brother . theresa : aw , that 's too bad . but , hey , give me your number and we can , you know , we should start something up . melanie : yeah . no , absolutely . theresa : you know , i -- i know i do n't know you and actually , i do n't even know your name , but i feel like we 're gon na totally hit it off . melanie : yeah . brady : i got ta compliment you . i do , turning into that investigative reporter on that casino woman . that was nice . nicole : that broad had it coming . i mean , treating melanie like a criminal and then ordering that creep she brought with her to beat you up , seriously ? brady : well , it was a good thing you called daniel because he helped divert the disaster . nicole : yeah , well , luckily he and i are friendly enough for me to call him . i mean , there was a time not long ago when he might not have taken my call . brady : yeah . nicole : all right . i will say this again . daniel and i are just friends . brady : mm - hmm . nicole : that 's all . what -- what ? say it , go ahead . say it . brady : the one thing i 've always loved about you is that you always call it as you see it . you always have . nicole : mm - hmm . brady : except for when it comes to men . and how you feel about them . you are clueless . nicole : that is not true . brady : really ? really -- how -- how long have we known each other ? nicole : too long . brady : okay . and look at me . take my word for it , your guard is up so high that even when it 's obvious to everyone else , you ca n't admit when you 're falling for someone . nicole : [ scoffs ] eric : you were worried how i would react ? i mean , since when is your career any of my business ? but how could you even think that i would n't be happy to see you ? serena : we 've always been straight with each other , right ? eric : yeah , right . serena : and first , let me say i had a lot of options . eric : i 'm sure you did . serena : but this assignment , it 's amazing . and the subject matter is totally fascinating and i get to do the kind of long arch reporting that i love to do . that has nothing to do with why i picked it . eric : okay , then what did ?

like , ground her ? maggie : i know . i know it 's just that she has n't had any real focus in so long . daniel : but she has us now . think we can keep an eye on her . maggie : she sounds like she thinks that moving back here is the answer . i hope she 's right . melanie : cool . there you go . theresa : all right . okay . um , so if you get a text from theresa donovan , then you 'll know it 's me . melanie : what ? theresa : theresa donovan , that 's my name . is that a problem ? melanie : [ laughs ] ah ! i 'm melanie jonas . theresa : melanie jonas ? nicole : i am not going after daniel , not even on the subconscious level . do n't worry . brady : i 'm not worried . i think it could be a good thing . nicole : why ?

kate : you son of a bitch . you set me up . he set me up ! stefano : how did i force you to make this blunder ? kate : you used victor to play me . stefano : [ chuckles ] victor kiriakis ? you were in contact with ... taking cues from a sworn enemy of this company ? gordon : is this true ? stefano : tell us , katerina ... were you conspiring with victor ? [ chuckles ] cole : so , for tonight , i made a reservation ... at a restaurant . paige : okay . cole : after that , we can go to a movie or a club if you want to hear some music . jj : [ playing guitar ] paige : oh , no . cole : what ? paige : i just realized ... [ zipper closing ] eve : that was a beautiful piece . jj : paige is n't here . eve : i know . i 'm here for you . we have some unfinished business . abe : you know , there 's still a stay on stefano 's warrant . we have no probable cause to be here . this is right on the line . hope : abe , da trask is in court right now as we speak , and you know she 's on a mission . she 'll get the stay vacated , and the second she does , we arrest stefano ... before he has a chance to run again . abe : well , obviously he 's not here . hope : hmm , neither is chad . that overpriced sports car he drives is n't here . abe : want to bet they 're together ? hope : probably . we need to find some evidence to where they could be . looky here . what have we got ? harold : what are you two doing in here ? melanie : hey , brady . good news -- carla came in , and she 's going to take the rest of her shift , so i 'm able to go , if you want to hang out when you 're done with your job . we can have a quiet night together , and i will see you soon . theresa : [ chuckles ] that sounds thrilling . melanie : excuse me ? theresa : you know , i am sure brady will just drop dead with excitement when he gets that message . brady : [ exhales deeply ] mm . cole : what is it ? did you realize you have other plans tonight ? paige : uh , no , it has nothing to do with our date . this should just take a second . jj : no , eve , we do n't ... 'cause everything between us is completely finished . eve : i 'm not talking about us , you idiot . i 'm talking about paige . jj : well , there 's nothing else to say about paige either , 'cause i 'm going to get her back , and there 's nothing that you can do to stop me . eve : jj , please , if you 'd just listen to me , you 'd see -- jj : no , i 'm done listening to you . get the hell out . kate : i did n't conspire with victor . victor called me to let me know that stefano was going to try to steer me away from glendora tech , the implication being that stefano wanted the company for himself . stefano : i spoke to victor ? kate : you must have . unless , perhaps , mr. kiriakis wanted to manipulate you . you two have a long- standing relationship , do you not ? gordon : kate ? kate : i resent the implication that i would ever -- gordon : kate ! you bought shin 's company . if you did that because you relied on victor kiriakis -- kate : it 's a great company , and it was a smart buy . stefano : [ chuckles ] i doubt mr. shin would share that view . gordon : stefano 's right . this is a mess . kate : i agree . valdez : you 're not an innocent bystander . you did it . what kind of due diligence did you perform in the matter of this critical acquisition ? kate : time was of the essence , so we ran an expedited check . gordon : which obviously missed the most important facts . i 've just gotten an email from a source close to shin . he 's describing this purchase as a hostile takeover . valdez : good god . he 's threatening to leave the board . gordon : this is n't even our biggest problem . ms. roberts has purchased the company of a sitting board member -- a clear conflict of interest . the sec is going to investigate . merkel : that could destroy dimera enterprises . valdez : what should we do ? stefano : that 's not up to me . ask your ceos . jj : eve , i do n't want to hear a word you have to say . i never want to see you . and i want to forget these last few months completely . eve : as if you could . i mean , you got to admit they were kind of unforgettable , were n't they ? the way you screwed things up royally . jj : yeah , i did . and i 'm going to make things right with paige now . eve : it 's too late for that , jj . and i do n't care what kind of deal your mother extracted . and i can stand back , and still , even though paige does n't know all the gory details , she knows . she knows that you 're untrustworthy , unstable , and unworthy of her . and , you know , that is the god 's honest truth . she 's never gon na take you back because you pushed her away one too many times . abe : hi , harold . uh , look , cook let us in . theo got a gift for his uncle chad . is he around ? harold : no , but i 'll make sure it gets to him . hope : oh , gosh , i 'm sorry . would you excuse just a second ? abe , you promised theo you would give it to chad in person ... abe : yeah . hope : which you know you have to do . he even deputized me to make sure it happened . abe : yeah . so can you tell me where i can find chad ? stefano : [ whispering indistinctly ] chad : what the hell 's going on , kate ? kate : hardball . so just keep your mouth shut until i give you the sign , and then you back me up . chad : okay . [ cell phone pounds on table ] kate : could we please come back to order ? this situation can easily be resolved . stefano : really ? kate : yes . the deal can be unwound . i 'll talk to mr. shin myself . he 'll see that it was a huge misunderstanding . when the transaction is reversed , then i will deal with the sec . before markets close tonight ? kate : excuse me ? dimera stock started dropping 30 minutes ago . we 're down 3 % . kate : where is he going ? chad : [ clears throat ] kate : are you trying to destroy our market value ? stefano : whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa . why are you yelling at her ? kate : the only way the stocks could be going down is if someone is leaking information from this room . or someone did the research you should have and knows we 're in trouble . gordon : this has to stop right now . i move that we reinstate stefano dimera as ceo of dimera enterprises , effective immediately . melanie : you need to stop eavesdropping and get a life . theresa : [ laughs ] oh ! from the woman who has nothing better to do than poke around in mine , huh ? melanie : okay , that 's fair . but i 've stopped digging around in your life , and now you need to leave me and brady alone and stop stirring up trouble 'cause you 're jealous . theresa : jealous ? oh , honey , please . come on , i am so over your loser boyfriend . and as a matter of fact ... i 've been dating somebody else . melanie : who you 'd drop in a second if you thought brady would look at you . it 's time for a reality check . theresa : what passes as reality to you , princess ? melanie : brady would n't look twice at you sober . and he 's done with the crazy , addictive relationship you keep dragging him into . theresa : i did n't drag him anywhere . melanie : you 're right . we both know brady had a problem before he met you . and then he did meet you and you enabled him all the way down to the gutter because that 's the only place he 'd have you , and now he 's done . theresa : but you think that he 's going to stay clean and sober because he deserves someone so much better like you ? melanie : no . he 's going to stay clean for himself ... because the truth is , theresa , if i was n't in the picture , he would still leave you the second he found himself . theresa : well , if you stick around , he 's going to have to start using again just to escape the reality of life with you . melanie : you 're a crazy bitch . theresa : oh , yeah ? do you want to do this ? daniel : hey . theresa . theresa : hey , you know what ? i 'm gon na go , 'cause this is clearly all my fault . i 'm out of here . daniel : okay , this is nuts . melanie : no kidding . she came out -- daniel : no , i am talking about you . brady : [ sighs ] [ dart gun clicks ] [ glass clatters ] brady : [ grunts ] eve : what are you ... ? honey . honey , what -- what -- what are you doing here ? [ chuckles ] paige : uh , looking for you . i realized i forgot to tell you that my performance was canceled today . i tried to text you , but i figured your phone would probably be off because you 'd probably be at the concert . eve : yeah , gosh . you know what ? i totally forgot about that . right . paige : yeah , i did n't want you waiting for nothing . eve : yeah . paige : what happened here , and where is everyone ? jj : the showcase got canceled 'cause the building lost power . paige : oh . and why are you two still here ? eve : well , i , uh -- i came looking for you , sweetheart . and then i just happened to run into jj . paige : please do n't lie to me , mom . eve : honey , why -- why would i lie -- paige : were you trashing jj ? eve : no ! in fact , i was telling him what a great performance it was . it was a really beautiful piece . uh , sweetheart , i did n't get to hear you sing , but how about we go get some of that yogurt that we both love ? come on , let 's go . paige : uh , that 's sounds good , but i - i actually need to speak to jj ... alone . kate : this is n't necessary . it was a minor glitch which i can correct . gordon : this should n't have happened , kate . as a board , we need to make a bold move to restore confidence . stefano 's return is our only hope at this point . stefano : gentlemen , you -- you flatter me . harold : i have no idea where mr. dimera is . hope : he must have a calendar or something -- harold : or mr . carver could simply call him and ask directly . now , i must ask you to leave . abe : well , i 'm sorry to bother you , harold . hope : good day , harold . abe : you saw something . hope : yeah . i know where to find stefano . kate : [ sighs ] point of order , gentlemen . you ca n't replace me and chad with stefano . gordon : why not ? kate : because you need two - thirds majority of the voting shares to replace a ceo . and given that mr. shin holds such a large share in the company , it would be impossible to do it without him here . so let 's just take a step back , shall we ? gordon : you have it ? kate : have what ? merkel : shin signed a proxy authorizing me to vote his shares . gordon : then we have a quorum . i would like to call the motion to reinstate stefano dimera as ceo of dimera enterprises . mr. valdez ? valdez : aye . gordon : mr. merkel ? merkel : aye . gordon : mr. shin ? merkel : on behalf of mr. shin , aye . gordon : ms. roberts ? kate : nay . gordon : and mr. chad dimera ? chad : aye . gordon : the ayes have it . stefano dimera is reinstated as ceo of dimera enterprises . daniel : i have warned you -- warned you not to take on theresa . melanie : i know , but she started it . she was being snarky about brady . daniel : no , no , i 'm not talking about today . you 're investigating her . melanie : but i have a good reason . there 's a good reason for that . i can explain it . daniel : is there ? melanie : yeah , there is . daniel : well , i am all ears . melanie : well , but now is not a good time . i ca n't tell you about -- daniel : yeah , you 've been avoiding this with me for days . melanie : okay , i 'm sorry . and i 'll tell you , but i ca n't right now because i have to go . daniel : yeah ? where ? melanie : to brady 's house . we 're gon na hang out . daniel : mm , you know , what a coincidence . i need to visit with your grandma . melanie : but -- daniel : yeah , no . i can ride with you . melanie : great . daniel : yeah , and you can explain all of it in the car . melanie : okay . clint : [ spits ] eve : you know , it looks like jj 's leaving too , sweetheart , so we can just -- jj : no , no , i 'm not going anywhere . i do n't have anywhere to be . but it was nice seeing you , eve . and i really hope you had a nice night , but listen , i really do appreciate the things that you were saying about my song . eve : mm . i meant every word . jj : i - i know that we -- we have n't gotten along , but i just feel like things are different now , like we 've reached a new understanding . eve : mm - hmm . yeah . paige : [ clears throat ] eve : well , i guess i , uh , should get going , then . sweetheart , i 'll talk to you later . paige : yeah , okay . bye , mom . eve : mm - hmm . jj : [ sighs ] so , uh , what 's up ? paige : uh ... uh , my mom was right . your song was beautiful . jj : wait . you heard it ? 'cause i - i thought you 'd left . paige : no . i stayed . jj : why , though ? i mean , what changed your mind ? hope : i know a dimera board meeting is taking place right now . no , no , no , not the company offices . we 've already checked , so get on the phone and start calling . someone rented a space . no , they wo n't have used dimera 's name . just find out which venues have been rented . we 'll go from there , okay ? abe : board meetings are public record . hope : yeah , except emergency meetings with exigent circumstances . abe : like a criminal ceo sneaking into the country ? hope : you think stefano knows he 's on borrowed time ? abe : he must . hope : we 've got to get to him first . victor : my dear , is something wrong ? stefano : of course , wei . we 'll speak tomorrow , all right ? ciao . [ chuckles ] all right . mr. shin is satisfied . now i can reverse the sale , and there will be no conflict - of - interest charges . kate : [ scoffs ] why did n't i think of that ? have none of you noticed what stefano just orchestrated ? gordon : you nearly ruined us . kate : no , that would be stefano . i was the one who made you ungodly amounts of money by streamlining the less disciplined part of the company . or have you already forgotten that ? gordon : this guard will accompany you out , mrs. roberts . kate : really ? gordon : given your collusion with victor kiriakis , we ca n't conduct any further business in your presence . kate : you all are going to get exactly what you deserve ... all of you . well played . chad : [ clears throat ] gentlemen , i 'd like to be the first to welcome my father back to the head of the company . i look forward to sharing the reigns . stefano : sons ...

ivy : charity , i have to admit , i 've been very surprised by your current behavior . sam : and this letter from the dean is the last straw . i mean , how could you let your studies slip so badly that you 're in danger of flunking out ? charity , you 're a beautiful young woman . u u know , you used to be so motivated , so focused on your future . charity : who says i 'm not focused on the future ? maybe i 've just changed my plans . sam : you 've traded college for jessica 's boyfriend ? come on . you know , if you do n't pull yourself together starting right now , you 're going to wake up one day and realize that you 've wasted one of the most important times in your life . now , i do n't want you to end up sad and bitter because of it . charity : my life 's already over . it was over when i had to give up miguel to save that baby . kay : let daddy hold you for a minute . mommy 's going to be right back , ok ? miguel : come here , maria . kay : here . there . miguel : yeah . kay : ok . miguel : i got her . hey , hey . simone : reality check . a minute ago you were about to pass out because you were so tired from working at the cannery . kay : cleaning fish stinks in every way you can think of , ok , but i can do anything if it means that i get to come home to miguel and maria at the end of the day . this is what it 's all about . simone : hmm . you say that now , but how long do you think that you can work your fingers to the bone and t t start to resent your little family ? i 'm not sure even they 're going to be enough for you to stand it much longer . theresa : what 's taking the judge so long , woody ? i thought he was going to award me custody . woody : shh . he 's trying to render his decision . theresa : ok . gwen : oh , i 'm worried , mother . looks like the judge is going to give little ethan back to theresa . judge : one moment , please . i seem to missing the last page of my case file . would you get it from my chambers for me , rusty ? theresa : fox , i have to get my son back . i have to . ethan 's voice : `` looks good , but be ready to file appeal if decision goes versus theresa . `` judge : i 'm ready to render my decision . as i 've noted throughout this hearing , in cases involving minors , the most important factor is the child 's welfare . that should and does come before any other argument . now , two parties have argued their case for being the better environment for young ethan crane . either he 's to be returned to his biological mother , ms . theresa lopez fitzgerald , or he 'll remain in the custody of his stepmother , mrs . julian crane . rebecca : oh , call me rebecca , your honor . judge : having heard both sides , i feel strongly that only one of these parties can provide an adequate upbringing for the young lad in question . theresa : please do n't take my little boy . please do n't take my little boy . pilar : you say you want to keep baby martin from sheridan so she wo n't get upset , but there 's more to it than that , is n't there ? beth : ahem . no , i do n't know what you -- [ phone rings ] pilar : excuse me . hello . yes . yes , i 'm running the b & b while grace bennett 's in europe . how can i help you ? mrs. wallace : pilar 's figured it out she knows that baby martin is sheridan 's son by luis . and once sheridan holds him close , she 's going to know it , too , so the jig is up , little ms . jumping jack . all your lies , kidnapping , threats , attempted murder -- catching up to you , missy . sheridan : i remember , luis . it 's you that i want to spend my life with , not antonio . luis : you remember ? i knew it , that you would remember . whatever they did to you in that psychiatric ward , i knew it would n't last . i knew you would remember how much you love me . sheridan : it was your kiss . it was the touch of your lips . i remember everything . i love you . singer : i would hold the hand of the one who could lead me places and kiss the lips of the one who could sing so sweet and i would fly on the wings of the bird i knew could take me highest breathe in , breathe out you keep me alive you are the fire burning inside of me you are my passion for life you with a southpaw swing . great champion he is . who could have imagined luis : oh , my god . i had a feeling that this would happen . you know , i even told sam earlier that i would try and respect your resolve to be with antonio , but , sheridan , i had this sense that if i took you in my arms and kissed you it would make you remember everything , how much you love me . sheridan : i do . i remember everything .

i 'm not sure even they 're going to be enough for you to stand it much longer . theresa : what 's taking the judge so long , woody ? i thought he was going to award me custody . woody : shh . he 's trying to render his decision . theresa : ok . gwen : oh , i 'm worried , mother . looks like the judge is going to give little ethan back to theresa . judge : one moment , please . i seem to missing the last page of my case file . would you get it from my chambers for me , rusty ? theresa : fox , i have to get my son back . i have to . ethan 's voice : `` looks good , but be ready to file appeal if decision goes versus theresa . `` judge : i 'm ready to render my decision . as i 've noted throughout this hearing , in cases involving minors , the most important factor is the child 's welfare . that should and does come before any other argument . now , two parties have argued their case for being the better environment for young ethan crane . either he 's to be returned to his biological mother , ms . theresa lopez fitzgerald , or he 'll remain in the custody of his stepmother , mrs . julian crane . rebecca : oh , call me rebecca , your honor . judge : having heard both sides , i feel strongly that only one of these parties can provide an adequate upbringing for the young lad in question . theresa : please do n't take my little boy . please do n't take my little boy . pilar : you say you want to keep baby martin from sheridan so she wo n't get upset , but there 's more to it than that , is n't there ?

[ chuckles ] i was trying to look all cool and crisp in my white dress , and i was melting before your eyes . nathan : yeah . you were beautiful . remember when we crossed the street to the park , and we got those tourists to take our pictures ? claudette : and they took about a million of their own . nathan : [ chuckles ] claudette : think about it . we 're in their holiday memories , you know ? you and me standing there smiling in the park , frozen in time . for all they knew , we lived happily ever after . nathan : so -- so what happened ? how did we go from -- from those two people in that park to ... me shooting your lover ? [ scene_break ] kevin : well , i got your message that you were going to look for nikolas . laura : oh . yeah . i - i just wanted to fill you in . you know , i did n't want you to worry about me while i was away . i - i did n't mean for you to follow me . kevin : oh , i know that . [ telephone rings ] dante : how did you know how to find us if laura did n't tell you where we were going ? kevin : deductive reasoning . she told me she was going to try and find nikolas , so i - i tried to think of a place where he might hide and that you would know about . laura : well , i 'm very impressed . but you came an awfully long way on a hunch . kevin : which makes it all the more gratifying to know i was right . laura : okay . you said how you got here , but you did n't really say why .

[ scoffs ] you know what ? i thought that when you invited me to lunch , there was a glimmer of hope that maybe we could be civil , move on . but if all you 're gon na do is harp on this subject , then i 'm gon na leave . and frankly , i have to leave anyway . i have to pick something up from my room before i get back to the office , so -- nathan : claudette , claudette , wait . claudette : why , nathan ? why should i ? [ scene_break ] maxie : nina hired you . you should be asking her that . i do n't pay your salary . curtis : all right , fine . you do what you do , but you 're gon na keep messing around , and you 're gon na get caught . and claudette will be on to you . maxie : are you done here ? curtis : for now , yeah . i 'm satisfied with the search , and , uh , now i 've got another job to do for nina . you wait 20 seconds before you leave . you take the stairs so fewer people see you . i 'm pretty sure that , uh , claudette would n't be too understanding about you searching her room , all right ? if i learn anything else about claudette and nina says it 's okay , we 'll be talking soon . maxie : thank you .

[ thunder rumbles ] [ scene_break ] kevin : trip to greece to solve a mystery ? who does n't love adventure ? lulu : seriously ? kevin : okay , full disclosure -- i had vacation time coming with no plans to use it . i 'd seen what your mother had gone through with spencer , and ... i thought i could help . lulu : let 's , um ... dante : yeah . lulu : ... go check on the ferry . kevin : mm - hmm . this is a nice hotel . how are the rooms ? maybe i should just check in here . laura : i do n't know what to say . i mean , the fact that you 'd go halfway around the world just to help me ... kevin : well , that 's half the reason . laura : oh . kevin : there 's -- there 's more . um , this came for you after you left . it 's from lloyd and lucy johnson . i took the liberty of opening it . when i saw what was inside , i had no idea what that was . laura : that 's the ice princess . anything else in this envelope ? kevin : yes . sand . laura : i came here to look for my son , but now i [ sighs ] think there 's something else going on here , something that 's separate from nikolas . [ scene_break ] dillon : kiki , you know , i may not know darby all that well , but i think calling her a slutty train wreck might be a little unfair . kiki : okay . how about careless , thoughtless , um , monumentally self - centered ? and to be quite honest , i 'm kind of shocked that wherever you met , you found her interesting in the slightest . i 'm also pretty sure that she failed to mention the fact that her and morgan used to date . dillon : darby -- yeah , she told me that her and morgan ... hung out . kiki : hung out ? hmm . okay , you might want to ask a few follow - up questions to that . dillon : what does that mean ? kiki : it means that she encouraged every destructive trait that he has . and not that you asked me , but you can do a lot better . dillon : so , why do you care , exactly ? kiki : because i would hate to see a friend being used by someone like her . dillon : are we still friends ? last i checked , you wanted a little break . you said you wanted to take some space . that 's what you wanted , right ? kiki : you know what ? forget it . if that vapid thing actually interests you , never mind . dillon : what do you say we blow this joint , huh ? darby : love that idea . morgan : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] maxie : [ scoffs ] you call this a wedding dress ? it 's actually really cute . chic , very simple . i 'm sure your wedding was super romantic . but it does n't matter , claudette , because nathan does n't love you .

[ kiss ] [ scene_break ] laura : when helena left us that key , the clues led us to things like scotty 's law books , the campus disco where i met luke and we went off on the run . and all of that happened before i 'd ever heard the name cassadine . but this -- the search for the ice princess , that 's what led us to mikkos cassadine and to his death ... and to helena 's vendetta against luke and me and our whole family forever . kevin : well , what 's the significance of a photo of the ice princess ? laura : i think it 's a dare . yeah . the ice princess , uh , a dare to go back to cassadine island where she held me captive , and i was forced to marry stavros . it 's ... it 's where nikolas was born . kevin : it is very suspicious that you were already on your way there to find nikolas . laura : yeah . except that i ca n't see how she could have possibly predicted that . nikolas ' problems are not with the cassadines or with me . he 's having a hard time with his wife . i ca n't go into details , but i think he had to disappear , because she was blackmailing him . and that happened after helena 's death . kevin : is there any possibility that nikolas was conspiring with helena ? laura : no . no ! he -- he detested his grandmother almost as much as i did . no , it 's -- it 's a coincidence that he 's hiding in the same place that she 's trying to lure me to . kevin : but the lure is real , and helena is dangerous . are you sure you want to go back to cassadine island ? helena could have left a trap for you that has nothing to do with nikolas . dante : [ clears throat ] we , uh , spoke to the ferry captain . the weather 's clearing . we can , uh , head to the island . kevin : are you sure you want to go ? lulu : why would n't she ? mom , what 's going on ?

eric : you 're thinking . thinking is good . steffy : i 'm thinking i have to be careful . eric : why ? steffy : i 'm starting to take it seriously that you really want me to run forrester creations . and i do n't want to make a decision for the wrong reason . eric : and what would that be , the wrong reason ? steffy : no , i do n't -- i do n't -- [ sighs ] i do n't know . maybe it 's not a wrong decision . it 's like ... i 've always wanted this to happen . i just did n't think it -- it would . i mean , i had this -- this fantasy in my head that you and -- and dad and -- and grandma would just come to me and say that i was the only one . i was -- [ sighs ] i was the only one that could lead our family and our company forward . and knowing that you have faith in my judgment and my abilities is -- is a dream come true . but i have to wonder , granddad ... there 's another reason ... is n't there ? wyatt : i guess they 're still talking . quinn : did you get a sense of how it 's going ? wyatt : i do n't eavesdrop . okay , if there 's a chance for me to get caught , i do n't eavesdrop . quinn : mm - hmm . wyatt : eric and steffy did seem very serious , for what it 's worth . quinn : maybe he thinks she 's not up to it . wyatt : or maybe he just -- he has n't been able to forgive and forget the whole wedding no - show . quinn : no , steffy is too smart and tough to go to waste . i know she wo n't work with me , but she will work with you . wyatt : i hope this brainstorm of yours is more than just a cover for driving a wedge between her and liam . quinn : would that be so bad ? liam : so , i thought you were bringing will . katie : oh , i was going to , but we had a rough morning , so i put him down for a nap and left him with the nanny . liam : mm . well , i hope you locked all the doors and windows . katie : we live in a very safe neighborhood . liam : it 's not a safe neighborhood when your next - door neighbor is quinn fuller . katie : it 's quinn forrester now . that 's her name . liam : oh , yeah . do n't remind me . and what has that changed exactly ? not her modus operandi -- not even her initials ! katie : [ chuckles ] katie : i have to say i have not seen eric this happy since before stephanie died . liam : oh , please do n't be about to tell me to lay off of quinn . katie : no , no . i - i would never tell you that after everything you 've been through . but i 'm just trying to figure out how i feel about my living situation , and i love my new house . i just do n't love living alone , or without adult company . liam : [ chuckles ] katie : and having eric right next door -- i mean , it makes me feel good . it makes me feel like i 'm at home . there 's just this one slight discordant note . liam : yeah , i know . i mean , look ... i do n't want to sound like a wind - up toy , but , uh ... you might want to invest in a rottweiler . katie : hmm .

[ both chuckle ] katie : and , um , i feel like he can kind of see right through me , you know ? you ca n't hide anything from him . never could . so he makes me feel a little flustered , and i guess , well , that 's normal , so is he ... acting normal ? then , yes , i - i would say that he is . liam : okay . you just have to wonder when someone like quinn fuller walks in to someone 's life and everything suddenly changes . i 'm just saying you have to wonder . quinn : i can make you a sandwich . i have some really nice roast beef . wyatt : mom , i did n't just fall down and scrape my knee . quinn : i am not treating you like a child . wyatt : oh , really ? my wife , who just recently filed for a divorce , is in the other room talking about -- i do n't know -- spending the rest of her life without me , and you 're offering me a sandwich . quinn : i know your heart is broken . wyatt : okay . i am not in the mood for a mother - son talk right now . quinn : okay , wait . look . remember when you showed that to me ? you said you were never going to remove it , that you were always gon na fight for your marriage because you believed in commitment , which is something that the forrester offspring struggle with , sometimes very publicly . look , there are n't that many lessons to remember in life . here 's one . the person who always stays committed will win in the end . steffy : i ca n't tell you how much this means to me -- how honored and humble i feel -- but ... i do have my concerns . eric : let me make them go away . steffy : okay . if i ... if i say yes , am i setting myself up for failure ? eric : do you think you 'll fail as c.e.o . ? steffy : no . eric : good . i 'll make sure you do n't . steffy : you 'll be my safety net ? eric : in the unlikely event that you 'll need one , yes . steffy : [ sighs ] it 's been hard the last couple of months ... thinking i could lose you , thinking that ... i would never have a chance to make you proud of me . and i want you to know that i 'm always listening to you and i 'm always learning from you , and i ... i would never try to replace you at the company . eric : which is one of the reasons i 'm offering it to you . but do n't do it for me . you know , pride in you , i have plenty of . do it for yourself . you have all the intelligence and savvy and ability that you need to pull this whole thing off . and you have this huge internet presence . it 's not as big as it used to be , but they -- steffy : well , i 've relied on wyatt for that . eric : well , reassign it to him , all right ? he 'll be working under you . steffy : [ sighs ] granddad . eric : no , i am not matchmaking , which , anyway , never works . any other concerns ? steffy : i love my dad . and he wo n't be happy being passed over . eric : no , he wo n't . but i ca n't imagine that he 'd be surprised . ridge needs to take a long look at his life and his loyalties . steffy : then what about thorne ? eric : thorne 's made it very clear he does n't want the job . steffy : what about rick ? he would accept it . eric : nobody knows international like rick . he could run that division in his sleep . and i think all of this has taken a back seat to him being a new dad these days . there 's only one c.e.o . i would appoint , and i 'm looking at her right now . come on . it 's your turn . say yes . steffy : [ chuckles softly ] [ cell phone chimes ] katie : oh , no ! it looks like my boy is running a fever . liam : oh , no . everything okay ? katie : yeah . it 's probably nothing . i think he runs a little hot , like his father . liam : [ snickers ] katie : but that is definitely my cue . liam : well , thanks for coming out to see me . it 's kind of nice seeing you settled and a little excited about the future . that 's good . katie : yeah . i 'm a lot excited , actually . what about you ? you and steffy are happy ? liam : uh ... yeah . i mean , we 've -- we 've definitely got the `` happily `` part down . now we 're just , uh , driving toward the `` ever after `` part . but , um , hey , can you do me a favor ? can you , um ... be careful ? katie : oh , do n't worry . i am the world 's safest driver . liam : [ chuckles ] no , i 'm -- i 'm talking about even at home , in your living room ... 'cause it kind of sounded like you said you might want to be friends with quinn . katie : well , better her friend than her enemy , right ? liam : i do n't know . katie : something tells me that quinn does n't have too many female friends . liam : [ chuckles ] no , no . not too many male friends , either , or animal friends or plant friends or fungus friends . katie : [ laughs ] wyatt : you 're right . it 's decent roast beef . quinn : mm . only the best for the men in my life . wyatt : great ! i 'm living with my mother and her cold cuts . quinn : you moved in with me to help me with eric , and you know what ? i could n't have made it through without you . wyatt : so then why does my life feel like it 's at a standstill ? quinn : but it 's not ! things are happening . people do n't change overnight . wyatt : you did . quinn : okay . if steffy ends up taking over as c.e.o . and she knows it 's because i suggested it , then she -- she ca n't believe that i 'm a monster anymore , and if i 'm the only obstacle standing between the two of you ... i wo n't be . wyatt : okay . steffy : how often to you have these headaches ? eric : less frequently than i did a while ago . it 'll be gone in a minute . steffy : yeah . maybe i should , too . eric : what about the proposal that 's on the table ? steffy : it 's everything . i guess i do n't want it to go to my head , so is it okay if i can think about it ? eric : best possible answer , yes . steffy : i do have one question . if i say yes , will i be c.e.o . in name only ? will you still outrank me ? i know you will , but what about quinn ? eric : `` chief executive officer `` means `` chief executive , `` all right ? yes . you will be working with quinn , though , every day . steffy : not if i can help it . eric : well , now , that 's gon na have to change . steffy : so , what is this -- quid pro quo ? i 'm nice to quinn , and then i get a promotion ? eric : well , there 's an insult i do n't deserve . [ sighs ] look , if and when you accept this job as c.e.o . , there 's a few things that are gon na have to change -- your language , your temper . you 're going to have to compromise with people that do n't delight you . you dislike my wife . it pains me , but i have to accept it . i 'm not asking for love , just professionalism . steffy : i understand . eric : is that unreasonable ? steffy : what 's unreasonable about you ... is your kindness ... and your ability to forgive and the ability to see me for not a little girl anymore , for who i am now -- my talents and my ambitions . but there is one thing you do n't know ... how much i love you and how much i respect you . eric : okay . quinn : hey , wyatt , will you go grab -- wyatt : i 'll grab pills . quinn : yes . thank you so much . eric : no , no , no . wait , wyatt . steffy brought me one . i 'll be all right . quinn : so ... did you ... talk to her about the offer ? eric : yes , i did . quinn : wonderful . eric : she says she wants to think about it . quinn : what is there to think about ? eric : well , it 's ... quinn : oh , yeah , right -- me . wyatt : it 's not surprising that would come up , mom . quinn : well , did she say that she would take the job if quinn was not in the building ? eric : no , no , nothing like that . she knows how important you are to the company and to me . and she knows that you 're my eyes and ears there at the company until i come back , if i ever do . wyatt : being happily married makes you want to spend a little more time at home . we get that . quinn : steffy actually said she accepts our marriage ? eric : she accepts that we 're husband and wife . it was just important to her to understand that the offer was coming from me . quinn : oh . she wanted to know that , behind the scenes , i was n't pulling the strings . eric : yeah . quinn : mm . wyatt : not like you have n't done anything like that before . quinn : i understand where she 's coming from , but it 's just -- it 's maddening that everything i 've done since then , she ca n't see that i 've changed ! eric : well , it 's time . everything takes time , and young people think they have all the time in the world . wyatt : can i thank you for giving her a seat at the top ? i mean , the husband in me is not dead , and my marriage is n't over yet , but steffy 's strong and she 's smart , and she just might be one of the best c.e.o.s you 've ever had , present company excluded , of course . eric : that 's very generous of you . wyatt : i 'm just being realistic , you know ? this ... connection you have with my mother -- i know it took me a while to -- to believe it , but i see it now , and ... it 's starting to look like a force of good in all of our lives . quinn : ah .

[ both chuckle ] katie : and , um , i feel like he can kind of see right through me , you know ? you ca n't hide anything from him . never could . so he makes me feel a little flustered , and i guess , well , that 's normal , so is he ... acting normal ? then , yes , i - i would say that he is . liam : okay . you just have to wonder when someone like quinn fuller walks in to someone 's life and everything suddenly changes . i 'm just saying you have to wonder . quinn : i can make you a sandwich . i have some really nice roast beef . wyatt : mom , i did n't just fall down and scrape my knee . quinn : i am not treating you like a child . wyatt : oh , really ? my wife , who just recently filed for a divorce , is in the other room talking about -- i do n't know -- spending the rest of her life without me , and you 're offering me a sandwich . quinn : i know your heart is broken . wyatt : okay . i am not in the mood for a mother - son talk right now . quinn : okay , wait . look . remember when you showed that to me ? you said you were never going to remove it , that you were always gon na fight for your marriage because you believed in commitment , which is something that the forrester offspring struggle with , sometimes very publicly . look , there are n't that many lessons to remember in life . here 's one . the person who always stays committed will win in the end . steffy : i ca n't tell you how much this means to me -- how honored and humble i feel -- but ... i do have my concerns . eric : let me make them go away . steffy : okay . if i ... if i say yes , am i setting myself up for failure ? eric : do you think you 'll fail as c.e.o . ? steffy : no . eric : good . i 'll make sure you do n't . steffy : you 'll be my safety net ? eric : in the unlikely event that you 'll need one , yes . steffy : [ sighs ] it 's been hard the last couple of months ... thinking i could lose you , thinking that ... i would never have a chance to make you proud of me . and i want you to know that i 'm always listening to you and i 'm always learning from you , and i ... i would never try to replace you at the company . eric : which is one of the reasons i 'm offering it to you . but do n't do it for me . you know , pride in you , i have plenty of . do it for yourself . you have all the intelligence and savvy and ability that you need to pull this whole thing off . and you have this huge internet presence . it 's not as big as it used to be , but they -- steffy : well , i 've relied on wyatt for that . eric : well , reassign it to him , all right ? he 'll be working under you . steffy : [ sighs ] granddad . eric : no , i am not matchmaking , which , anyway , never works . any other concerns ? steffy : i love my dad . and he wo n't be happy being passed over . eric : no , he wo n't . but i ca n't imagine that he 'd be surprised . ridge needs to take a long look at his life and his loyalties . steffy : then what about thorne ? eric : thorne 's made it very clear he does n't want the job . steffy : what about rick ? he would accept it . eric : nobody knows international like rick . he could run that division in his sleep . and i think all of this has taken a back seat to him being a new dad these days . there 's only one c.e.o . i would appoint , and i 'm looking at her right now . come on . it 's your turn . say yes . steffy : [ chuckles softly ] [ cell phone chimes ] katie : oh , no ! it looks like my boy is running a fever . liam : oh , no . everything okay ? katie : yeah . it 's probably nothing . i think he runs a little hot , like his father . liam : [ snickers ] katie : but that is definitely my cue . liam : well , thanks for coming out to see me . it 's kind of nice seeing you settled and a little excited about the future . that 's good . katie : yeah . i 'm a lot excited , actually . what about you ? you and steffy are happy ? liam : uh ... yeah . i mean , we 've -- we 've definitely got the `` happily `` part down . now we 're just , uh , driving toward the `` ever after `` part . but , um , hey , can you do me a favor ? can you , um ... be careful ? katie : oh , do n't worry . i am the world 's safest driver . liam : [ chuckles ] no , i 'm -- i 'm talking about even at home , in your living room ... 'cause it kind of sounded like you said you might want to be friends with quinn . katie : well , better her friend than her enemy , right ? liam : i do n't know . katie : something tells me that quinn does n't have too many female friends . liam : [ chuckles ] no , no . not too many male friends , either , or animal friends or plant friends or fungus friends . katie : [ laughs ] wyatt : you 're right . it 's decent roast beef . quinn : mm . only the best for the men in my life . wyatt : great ! i 'm living with my mother and her cold cuts . quinn : you moved in with me to help me with eric , and you know what ? i could n't have made it through without you . wyatt : so then why does my life feel like it 's at a standstill ? quinn : but it 's not ! things are happening . people do n't change overnight . wyatt : you did . quinn : okay . if steffy ends up taking over as c.e.o . and she knows it 's because i suggested it , then she -- she ca n't believe that i 'm a monster anymore , and if i 'm the only obstacle standing between the two of you ... i wo n't be . wyatt : okay . steffy : how often to you have these headaches ? eric : less frequently than i did a while ago . it 'll be gone in a minute . steffy : yeah . maybe i should , too . eric : what about the proposal that 's on the table ? steffy : it 's everything . i guess i do n't want it to go to my head , so is it okay if i can think about it ? eric : best possible answer , yes . steffy : i do have one question . if i say yes , will i be c.e.o . in name only ? will you still outrank me ? i know you will , but what about quinn ? eric : `` chief executive officer `` means `` chief executive , `` all right ? yes . you will be working with quinn , though , every day . steffy : not if i can help it . eric : well , now , that 's gon na have to change . steffy : so , what is this -- quid pro quo ? i 'm nice to quinn , and then i get a promotion ? eric : well , there 's an insult i do n't deserve . [ sighs ] look , if and when you accept this job as c.e.o . , there 's a few things that are gon na have to change -- your language , your temper . you 're going to have to compromise with people that do n't delight you . you dislike my wife . it pains me , but i have to accept it . i 'm not asking for love , just professionalism . steffy : i understand . eric : is that unreasonable ? steffy : what 's unreasonable about you ... is your kindness ... and your ability to forgive and the ability to see me for not a little girl anymore , for who i am now -- my talents and my ambitions . but there is one thing you do n't know ... how much i love you and how much i respect you . eric : okay . quinn : hey , wyatt , will you go grab -- wyatt : i 'll grab pills . quinn : yes . thank you so much . eric : no , no , no . wait , wyatt . steffy brought me one . i 'll be all right . quinn : so ... did you ... talk to her about the offer ? eric : yes , i did . quinn : wonderful . eric : she says she wants to think about it . quinn : what is there to think about ? eric : well , it 's ... quinn : oh , yeah , right -- me . wyatt : it 's not surprising that would come up , mom . quinn : well , did she say that she would take the job if quinn was not in the building ? eric : no , no , nothing like that . she knows how important you are to the company and to me . and she knows that you 're my eyes and ears there at the company until i come back , if i ever do . wyatt : being happily married makes you want to spend a little more time at home . we get that . quinn : steffy actually said she accepts our marriage ? eric : she accepts that we 're husband and wife . it was just important to her to understand that the offer was coming from me . quinn : oh . she wanted to know that , behind the scenes , i was n't pulling the strings . eric : yeah . quinn : mm . wyatt : not like you have n't done anything like that before . quinn : i understand where she 's coming from , but it 's just -- it 's maddening that everything i 've done since then , she ca n't see that i 've changed ! eric : well , it 's time . everything takes time , and young people think they have all the time in the world . wyatt : can i thank you for giving her a seat at the top ? i mean , the husband in me is not dead , and my marriage is n't over yet , but steffy 's strong and she 's smart , and she just might be one of the best c.e.o.s you 've ever had , present company excluded , of course . eric : that 's very generous of you . wyatt : i 'm just being realistic , you know ? this ... connection you have with my mother -- i know it took me a while to -- to believe it , but i see it now , and ... it 's starting to look like a force of good in all of our lives . quinn : ah . [ both chuckle ] liam : honey , you 're home ! hey . steffy : hey . liam : uh , i made some kabobs we can throw on the grill for dinner later . steffy : oh , perfect . liam : yeah . steffy : how was your play date ? liam : uh , canceled . will apparently came down with something . steffy : ohh . kids always do . liam : yeah . but katie came by solo , and we had a nice little chat . steffy : yeah ? liam : i know all too well what it 's like to start over alone when you were gone too long . steffy : yeah . oh , yeah . i was . liam : so , how 's your grandfather ? was he just having a really good thanksgiving , or is he actually getting better ? steffy : oh , well , he -- he gets tired . his headaches come and go . but ... he seems like himself again . he 's not coming back to forrester . liam : i mean , he 's said that before . steffy : yeah , that 's true , but ... when he was widowed , he did n't really know what to do with himself . i mean , now it 's just different . liam : like different 'cause of quinn ? like , she just convinced him to stay home while she goes and bulldozes everyone in the office ? steffy : uh , that 's actually not the way it 's playing out . she 's more of a homebody . liam : ugh ! so , she was there ? i 'm sorry if that spoiled your time with your grandfather . steffy : no . no , it did n't . liam : so , today she was `` new quinn `` ? steffy : [ sighs ] she just surprised me . she said these , like , nice things . liam : good . good . she must -- she must want something . steffy : sort of . [ sighs ] liam : are you okay ? steffy : [ sighs ] quinn does n't want to run forrester creations . liam : well , what was the whole point of the seduction of eric forrester if not that ? steffy : that 's what i thought , but she seems to know she 's out of her depth . liam : quinn confronting reality -- that 's novel . steffy : yeah . she thinks someone in the family can unite it again . liam : so , ridge is forgiven and he 's back as c.e.o . ? steffy : no . no . he and my granddad have a lot of relationship repairs to do . liam : so , rick , then ? steffy : mm ... guess again . liam : um ... thorne ? steffy : they offered it to me . c.e.o . of forrester creations -- me . liam : oh , wow . wow . and you turned them down , huh ? steffy : what , you do n't think i 'm up to it ? liam : what ? no . o - of course , you 're up to it . you just ca n't -- you just ca n't say yes . i mean , you know that . steffy : do i ? liam : yeah . you would n't ... fall for this . steffy , this is how she operates . if it 's coming from quinn ... you have to say no .Summarize.[/INST]steffy does not want to make a decision to run fc for the wrong reasons . she always wanted to but she never thought it would happen . she always thought it would be eric and then ridge . but now that she has his faith she is delighted . but she feels like there might be another reason as well . quinn tells wyatt that steffy is too smart to work with her but not with wyatt . steffy is smart and charming when she wants to be and all the rest of them will rally around her . and if she works with wyatt then what is the harm . and about fighting for his marriage the person who stays committed usually wins in the end . katie drops by liam 's and he reminds her that quinn is living next door to her . katie reminds him that she is a forrester now and she has never seen eric happier . she feels at home with eric next door . and she had rather have quinn as a friend than an enemy . liam says he does not want to sound like a wind - up toy but she might want to invest in a rottweiler . eric tells steffy that he loves his wife but he is not her puppet . he has been watching steffy all her life and he always knew her time would come and that time is now . she says she is always learning from him and she would never try to replace him . he tells her he is more than proud of her but do this for herself . steffy opines that ridge will not like it being passed over . eric answers that rick is like no other in running international so he will be happy there . and ridge still needs to get his personal life in order . eric feels he is looking at the only person who is capable of running fc .</s> | 6,108 |

nikki : well , very soon , you 're going to have almost your entire family under one roof . how pleased does that make you ? victor : i 'm very happy about that . you know , people keep on saying that all i 'm concerned about is making money . well , i make money and i run my business to be able to afford all of this , to have all my family under one roof here . nikki : i know you do . victor : yeah , i just wish that victoria would let us do something for her , as well . nikki : well , she did n't want it that way . she said the whole day should be about the children . she would be happy just watching them enjoy themselves . victor : katie and christian are newmans -- they 'll have a wonderful time . and they will have everything . nikki : and more . victor : including justice . i understand that sharon spent the night in custody . i guess her father - in - law is not so generous with her , is he ? nikki : paul knows exactly what sharon did . but the thought of a trial -- i do n't know , i worry about the impact that would have on faith and dylan . victor : she confessed on television . she should confess in the courtroom , avoid a trial . nikki : the whole thing is just a big , ugly mess . victor : i know . nikki : i feel so bad for faith . she does n't deserve this . my heart breaks for dylan . i warned him about this woman ! victor : sweetheart , dylan is a grown man , okay ? and he should confess . nikki : what ? confess to what ? victor : how the hell did n't he know that sharon was n't pregnant ? tell me that . nikki : because that dr. anderson intentionally kept dylan away from sharon so he would n't realize the truth ! victor : he 's a detective ! he should have known that she was n't pregnant ! the only victims in this are nicholas and christian ! nikki : you are being totally unfair . victor : why , because i do n't think he 's blameless ? nikki : well , i 'm not about to throw away one son over the other ! victor : sometimes you have no choice ! dylan : how long are you gon na detain sharon ? paul : dylan , sharon confessed to a crime on live television . letting her walk is not an option . dylan : why has n't a bail hearing been set yet ? paul : bail is not a slam dunk . she 's a known flight risk . the judge is not gon na forget that . and neither should you . christine : sharon , does the alias sheri coleman ring a bell ? have you kept in touch with that farmer you met way back then ? sharon : yes , it 's true . i -- i once ran . but that 's because i was innocent , and i could n't go to prison for something that i did n't do . christine : so this time , you 're willing to go to prison for something you 've admitted to . okay , so it should be easy . sharon : i did n't say that . look , i -- i need to get home to faith and -- i - i just need to get home . christine : all right , well , that 's for a judge to decide . but i would n't expect much . after what you did , i really would n't expect much of anything . dylan : looking her up accomplishes nothing at all . paul : dylan , it 's not up to me . it 's not even up to chris . it 's up to the judge . and given that we 're all related by marriage , asking for leniency will be seen as a conflict of interest . not to mention the fact this involves the newman family . who knows who is beholden to victor ? he 's gon na want to have his say . his son is the primary victim here . dylan : yeah . right . right , nick is the primary victim , so what he says has the most weight . paul : i do n't know what to say to you . it 's just the way it is . you 're gon na have to accept the fact that sharon may not be home for a while . dylan : i need some air . christine : [ sighs ] looks like that went as well for you and dylan as it did for sharon and me . paul : yeah , well , dylan 's really upset with me . when i 'm just trying to point out the facts . i 've already lost a grandson . i do n't want to lose a son , too . chelsea : there will be face - painting and balloons and god knows how many ponies . chloe : so , christian is a newman now . lucky him . chelsea : yep . chloe : and unlucky him . chelsea : do n't forget , the party is for christian and his cousin , katie . chloe : double the newman , double the fun . chelsea : mm - hmm . i think it 'll be good for them to all be together . as a family . especially nick . it 's good for them to have something to celebrate . chloe : and you 're not scared that victor 's gon na close up all the exits and make sure that you 're one big , happy newman family forever and ever ? chelsea : maybe i 'm a little nervous . so you could come with me . chloe : [ chuckles ] chelsea : oh , come on . please ! bella would have such a blast . not to mention , you know , connor sort of ca n't function without her these days , and i ca n't function without you . chloe : we are not co - dependent at all . chelsea : please come . nick could really use the backup . not to mention , considering most newman functions end in some form of drama , i could use the backup , too . faith : okay . i got them . nick : nice . all right . we got diapers , wipes , snacks , banana applesauce -- i mean , the kid ca n't live on birthday cake alone , right ? faith : well , it 's not really his birthday anymore . it 's like a re - do . a re- birthday . nick : excellent word . i love it . i 'm in . faith : [ chuckles ] nick : listen , i know things are , you know , they 're probably a little confusing , but we 're all here together , right ?

[ sighs ] and poor dylan -- he 's been on the receiving end of this twice now . that 's so horrible . i ca n't even think about it . [ sighs ] i think if we can all just focus on having some peace , then dylan will heal sooner . and who knows ? maybe he 'll be able to stay in christian 's life . abby : travis . is victoria with you ? travis : she 's upstairs getting the birthday girl ready for the big event . i can take her the phone if you want . abby : no , no , that 's okay . glamour is far more important than a phone call . i just wanted to see if she needed anything for the party . travis : well , considering nikki and your dad are hosting it , i 'm sure they got it covered . katie did mention how excited she is for cupcakes , though . and maybe one for victoria ? abby : smart . yes , i will get one subtle cupcake for victoria , and the rest will be for the kids . i 'm on it . i will see you there . ashley : what was that about ? abby : what was what ? ashley : your reaction when travis answered victoria 's phone . abby : honestly , i thought victoria threw travis out . we had a quick talk last night , and things sounded bad , like , really bad . ashley : really ? abby : yeah . ashley : guess they 've worked things out , huh ? that 's -- that 's good . abby : i did n't know that you were so invested in victoria and travis making things work . ashley : oh , you know me . i 've always been a big fan of romance . abby : wait , where are you going ? you did n't even finish your coffee . ashley : i 've got some errands to run , but guess what -- i 'm gon na see you later at the ranch . abby : all right . ashley : mwah ! abby : bye . ashley : bye ! michelle : hey ! billy : oh , i 'm sorry ! i apologize . are you all right ? michelle : it 's you . billy : yeah , it 's me . it 's you . michelle : we met last night at the athletic club . billy : that 's right . michelle : i see i left quite the impression . billy : no , you -- you did . you did . i just did n't recognize you in your running gear and all windswept . it 's a nice look on you . i 'm billy abbott . michelle : oh , thanks . oh , abbott -- are you related to ashley ? billy : yeah , she 's my sister . how do you -- do you know her ? michelle : old friends . billy : ah . michelle : michelle . it 's nice to meet you officially . billy : nice to meet you , too . so , do you live here in genoa city ? michelle : no . no . i 'm visiting . billy : on business or pleasure ? michelle : why not both ? billy : why not , indeed . nick : uh , dylan and your mom are n't gon na be able to come to christian 's party today . faith : not even dylan ? he did n't do anything wrong . nick : i know he did n't , but , you know , he knows christian is christian , and i just do n't think he 'd want to come . faith : dylan was so excited for sully 's birthday . nick : yeah , i know . i know he was , but some things have changed , and we 're just trying to take things step by step .

is that bad ? i - i need to know what i 'm up against . dylan : he 's a by - the - book kind of judge . the fact that you 've run before , he 's not likely to ignore that . chloe : what ? i had to see which cupcake had superior frosting . and for your information , it 's purple for the win . abby : i 'm sorry about before . asking about bella 's father -- it 's none of my business . chloe : oh , it 's -- it 's fine . do n't worry about it . he 's long gone . plus , bella -- she has a triple dose of love . we have kevin around . so everything 's all good . um , you know what ? i 'm just gon na go have another cupcake . abby : why am i so nosey ? victoria : oh , i do n't know . it usually drives me crazy , but in this case , you have a right to ask some questions . i mean , she did come back to town a single mother after being in a psych ward . i 'm sure she 's been asked some more questions before today . abby : which makes me piling on even worse , not better . victoria : oh , she 'll be fine . so will you . let me help billy with those gifts . hey . billy : hey . victoria : so , one for katherine , one for christian ? billy : no , this one 's for christian . this one 's actually for connor . i did n't want him to feel left out . victoria : oh . billy : and for the record , katie 's present is being delivered tomorrow . it 's a dollhouse , and quite possibly could be bigger than -- bigger than the actual house . victoria : well , that 's gon na work well . is something wrong ? michelle : oh . ashley : not who you were hoping for ? travis wo n't be stopping by . he 's at a family gathering . so you do n't have to wait around for him . michelle : we 've known each other a long time , ashley . give me a little more credit than waiting by the phone for a man . ashley : and you did n't wait , did you ? you contacted him right after i saw you . michelle : travis has been a big part of my life . i wanted to catch up . ashley : mm - hmm . michelle : adults can do things like that . it is n't illicit . ashley : i know . i also know you 've been going through an emotional time since your divorce , and it 's only natural that you 'd want to recapture a happy moment in your life , but that moment has passed , michelle . was n't it destructive enough the last time ? michelle : you are making drama out of nothing , ashley . ashley : except that billy picked up on something , and neither one of us wants to see victoria get hurt . michelle : what does billy have to do with this ? ashley : he 's victoria 's ex - husband , michelle . the father of her children . billy : you know , maybe , uh ... i 'm just thinking or worried about what your father got katie for her birthday because i 'm sure he found out i got her a dollhouse , and so he bought her a condo or something . victoria : um , well , you just had this look on your face . billy : well , that 's what happens when i get within 100 yards of your father . it just kind of comes from the inside - out , ends up on my face . where 's katie ? i 'd like to swing her around while she 's still small enough to do so . victoria : there 's a pony show at the stable . billy : ah , yes , of course there is . i 'll see you in a sec . chloe : so , this has been awesome and casual and totally understated . chelsea : but you 're ready to leave . chloe : in , like , the worst way . chelsea : what happened ? did victor say something to you ? chloe : it 's just very newman - y . chelsea : right . chloe : and bella -- you know , she 's -- she 's exhausted . she 's probably gon na pass out on the car ride home . chelsea : yeah , connor 's pretty exhausted , too , and he 's becoming really cranky . would you mind taking him ? chloe : yeah . chelsea : i 'd go with you . i just -- i feel like i should be here when nick arrives . chloe : you know , nick 's kid is here , but nick is n't . it 's kind of weird , right ? chelsea : he has a good reason . dylan : you made your point at your place , nick . nick : actually , i 'm here to see you two . whatever charges you plan on filing against sharon , i 'm out . i do n't want any part of it . paul : you do n't want to press charges . nick : no . i do n't . paul : does your father feel the same way , nick ? nick : what does it matter ? since when do either of you bow to newman pressure ? christine : we do n't . not now , not ever . but there 's a case to be made with or without your support . nick : well , you can try the case if you want , but i 'm not taking the stand against sharon willingly . paul : the prosecution can have you subpoenaed . nick : right . the father of the baby -- treat him like a hostile witness . that 's gon na go great with the judge and the jury . what are you gon na do if i decide to testify on sharon 's behalf ? paul : all right , give us a minute , will you ? sharon : nick . you have no idea how much this means to me . nick : do n't thank me . and no more rogue interviews . i 'm already missing my son 's birthday to be here , and i 've missed too many days already . i just want this to be over , and the sooner that happens , the sooner i can have a real life with my son . paul : okay . christine : i 've made a decision about the charges . victoria : he 's all yours . abby : hey , buddy ! my gosh ! you know , you and i , we have met before , but it was n't like this . see , now -- now we are family . and i know there are a lot of us ... but there is someone very important missing , and i 'm really sorry that your mom is n't here . but you 're gon na be surrounded by so much love and a lot of spoiling . [ whispers ] by me . 'cause i know a lot about spoiling . and i might have been spoiled . victoria : mm - hmm . victor : she was never spoiled . victoria : oh , now we 're rewriting history . victor : are n't we ever . victoria : aww . is a yawn ? victor : look at him with his little binky . he can nap later . first , i 'm gon na give him his gift . victoria : oh , but dad , nick 's not here . victor : that 's all right . he wo n't mind . uh , may i have your attention , please ? nikki : well , it looks like it 's gift time , everyone . victor : you bet it is . billy : excuse me . you want to sit here and `` ooh `` and `` ahh `` and watch him buy the next generation 's love , or do you want to grab a drink with me ? travis : let 's go . michelle : so your little brother was pumping me for information . i knew he was after something . i just thought it was me . ashley : is there information ? michelle : uh , well , if billy wants his ex back , then he should be thanking me . he 's now one step closer . ashley : closer to what ? come on , michelle , you 've never been coy . if you 've got something to say , just say it . michelle : travis and i had something really good back then , something real and strong . ashley : so , what , you think you can get it back ? that 's why you 're here ? michelle : well , we do n't have to try and get it back because it 's never gone anywhere . last night , travis and i made love , and it was better than it 's ever been . billy : got to hand it to victor . he 's the only grown man i know that can make a kid 's party all about him . travis : does n't matter how many articles you read about the guy , it does n't prepare you for the real thing . billy : i 'll drink to that . travis : i , uh , owe you a thank - you . billy : for ? travis : vick said you put in a good word for me the other night , and i was out of line . you did n't have to cut me a break , but you did . billy : so you two worked it out , huh ? travis : yeah , we did . billy : is that before or after you were with michelle ? victoria : well , i could n't get katherine and johnny away from the ponies . they 're hooked . nikki : well , the more fun they have , the better they 'll sleep . victoria : [ chuckles ] victor : and now , this is for christian andrew newman . look at this . this is a place where you can store your first treasure . chelsea : oh ! victor : now , you know what the first treasure is ? a silver dollar . this is from the year that your grandfather was born . abby : only you could make cash sentimental , dad . victoria : that 's true . [ laughter ] faith : oh , look ! it says `` christian `` on it . chelsea : oh ! whoa ! victor : yes . that 's right , my boy . that 's your name -- christian andrew newman . just like your grandfather 's name . but we have more in common than that . you 're a tough boy . you 're a newman . it was very hard for christian at the beginning . it was touch - and - go . but he made it back to us . and you know something , from now on , you 'll be a member of this whole family . you 'll be protected , you 'll be adored , and one thing i can promise you -- [ christian squeals ] victor : that 's right . one thing i promise you -- justice will be done . all right ? to my newest grandchild . nikki : hear , hear ! abby : cheers . chelsea : cheers . [ next_on ] jack : that is the only reason she 's here . there is nothing between us . traci : you are a terrible liar . ashley : you need to do the right thing , michelle ! you 've got to walk away ! michelle : i ca n't . billy : you should know there 's no secrets in this town . travis : it 's really none of your business . billy : the hell it is n't . | the newman family celebrates victoria , katie , and christian 's birthdays at the ranch while sharon waits for her hearing at the police station . ashley tells billy that michelle was travis 's ex - girlfriend . billy tells ashley that he saw a text from travis on michelle 's phone last night . he assures ashley that he wo n't allow travis to hurt victoria . michelle lets ashley know that she and travis made love . travis thanks billy for putting in a good word for him with victoria , because it helped them make up last night . billy wonders if travis made up with victoria before or after he was with michelle . dylan asks nick to talk to the police and maybe he can persuade them not to press charges against sharon . chelsea tells nick that sharon has suffered enough with the miscarriage of her child and losing christian too , so nick goes to the police station and tells paul and christine that if they press charges against sharon , he will testify on her behalf at her trial . victor is not very happy when nick arrives at the birthday party with sharon . | <s>[INST] nikki : well , very soon , you 're going to have almost your entire family under one roof . how pleased does that make you ? victor : i 'm very happy about that . you know , people keep on saying that all i 'm concerned about is making money . well , i make money and i run my business to be able to afford all of this , to have all my family under one roof here . nikki : i know you do . victor : yeah , i just wish that victoria would let us do something for her , as well . nikki : well , she did n't want it that way . she said the whole day should be about the children . she would be happy just watching them enjoy themselves . victor : katie and christian are newmans -- they 'll have a wonderful time . and they will have everything . nikki : and more . victor : including justice . i understand that sharon spent the night in custody . i guess her father - in - law is not so generous with her , is he ? nikki : paul knows exactly what sharon did . but the thought of a trial -- i do n't know , i worry about the impact that would have on faith and dylan . victor : she confessed on television . she should confess in the courtroom , avoid a trial . nikki : the whole thing is just a big , ugly mess . victor : i know . nikki : i feel so bad for faith . she does n't deserve this . my heart breaks for dylan . i warned him about this woman ! victor : sweetheart , dylan is a grown man , okay ? and he should confess . nikki : what ? confess to what ? victor : how the hell did n't he know that sharon was n't pregnant ? tell me that . nikki : because that dr. anderson intentionally kept dylan away from sharon so he would n't realize the truth ! victor : he 's a detective ! he should have known that she was n't pregnant ! the only victims in this are nicholas and christian ! nikki : you are being totally unfair . victor : why , because i do n't think he 's blameless ? nikki : well , i 'm not about to throw away one son over the other ! victor : sometimes you have no choice ! dylan : how long are you gon na detain sharon ? paul : dylan , sharon confessed to a crime on live television . letting her walk is not an option . dylan : why has n't a bail hearing been set yet ? paul : bail is not a slam dunk . she 's a known flight risk . the judge is not gon na forget that . and neither should you . christine : sharon , does the alias sheri coleman ring a bell ? have you kept in touch with that farmer you met way back then ? sharon : yes , it 's true . i -- i once ran . but that 's because i was innocent , and i could n't go to prison for something that i did n't do . christine : so this time , you 're willing to go to prison for something you 've admitted to . okay , so it should be easy . sharon : i did n't say that . look , i -- i need to get home to faith and -- i - i just need to get home . christine : all right , well , that 's for a judge to decide . but i would n't expect much . after what you did , i really would n't expect much of anything . dylan : looking her up accomplishes nothing at all . paul : dylan , it 's not up to me . it 's not even up to chris . it 's up to the judge . and given that we 're all related by marriage , asking for leniency will be seen as a conflict of interest . not to mention the fact this involves the newman family . who knows who is beholden to victor ? he 's gon na want to have his say . his son is the primary victim here . dylan : yeah . right . right , nick is the primary victim , so what he says has the most weight . paul : i do n't know what to say to you . it 's just the way it is . you 're gon na have to accept the fact that sharon may not be home for a while . dylan : i need some air . christine : [ sighs ] looks like that went as well for you and dylan as it did for sharon and me . paul : yeah , well , dylan 's really upset with me . when i 'm just trying to point out the facts . i 've already lost a grandson . i do n't want to lose a son , too . chelsea : there will be face - painting and balloons and god knows how many ponies . chloe : so , christian is a newman now . lucky him . chelsea : yep . chloe : and unlucky him . chelsea : do n't forget , the party is for christian and his cousin , katie . chloe : double the newman , double the fun . chelsea : mm - hmm . i think it 'll be good for them to all be together . as a family . especially nick . it 's good for them to have something to celebrate . chloe : and you 're not scared that victor 's gon na close up all the exits and make sure that you 're one big , happy newman family forever and ever ? chelsea : maybe i 'm a little nervous . so you could come with me . chloe : [ chuckles ] chelsea : oh , come on . please ! bella would have such a blast . not to mention , you know , connor sort of ca n't function without her these days , and i ca n't function without you . chloe : we are not co - dependent at all . chelsea : please come . nick could really use the backup . not to mention , considering most newman functions end in some form of drama , i could use the backup , too . faith : okay . i got them . nick : nice . all right . we got diapers , wipes , snacks , banana applesauce -- i mean , the kid ca n't live on birthday cake alone , right ? faith : well , it 's not really his birthday anymore . it 's like a re - do . a re- birthday . nick : excellent word . i love it . i 'm in . faith : [ chuckles ] nick : listen , i know things are , you know , they 're probably a little confusing , but we 're all here together , right ? and christian is home and he is healthy and he is perfect , and today is gon na be a good day . faith : because we 're all celebrating together ? nick : you got it . faith : so , are mom and dylan invited to the re - birthday party ? victoria : hey . [ sighs ] coffee 's extra strong . i figure you might need it after all the tossing and turning you did last night . travis : yeah . victoria : are you okay ? travis : fine . great . what i meant to say was -- happy birthday . victoria : thank you . i got my birthday present last night . are you sure you 're okay ? travis : oh , there 's the birthday girl now ! victoria : there she is ! happy birthday ! look at you ! we 've got to get you ready for your party ! come on , tiger . let 's go do that right now . do n't forget your coffee , okay ? it 'll get cold . travis : i wo n't . [ sighs ] [ cell phone rings ] travis : hello ? abby : travis ? it 's abby . what are you doing with victoria 's phone ? chloe : a party at victor newman 's house . hmm . no . chelsea : oh , come on ! do it for me . okay , scratch that . uh , do it for nick ! you think he 's a good guy . chloe : yeah . i - i do . i think nick is a great guy , but he has you and connor there to support him , so i think you got it covered . chelsea : okay , so , let 's go back to you doing it for me , then . chloe : [ sighs ] you are the worst . chelsea : please . chloe : [ groans ] fine . chelsea : yes ! chloe : fine , but only because you 're you and you have really supported nick , and i should back you up on that . chelsea : well , i have n't done that much to support him . i 'm just trying to convince him to not waste all of his energy being angry at sharon . chloe : well , i got to hand it to you , because most of this town is really pissed at what sharon did . chelsea : i would be quite the hypocrite if i railed on sharon for this . think about it -- i know what it 's like to keep a child from his real father . [ sighs ] and poor dylan -- he 's been on the receiving end of this twice now . that 's so horrible . i ca n't even think about it . [ sighs ] i think if we can all just focus on having some peace , then dylan will heal sooner . and who knows ? maybe he 'll be able to stay in christian 's life . abby : travis . is victoria with you ? travis : she 's upstairs getting the birthday girl ready for the big event . i can take her the phone if you want . abby : no , no , that 's okay . glamour is far more important than a phone call . i just wanted to see if she needed anything for the party . travis : well , considering nikki and your dad are hosting it , i 'm sure they got it covered . katie did mention how excited she is for cupcakes , though . and maybe one for victoria ? abby : smart . yes , i will get one subtle cupcake for victoria , and the rest will be for the kids . i 'm on it . i will see you there . ashley : what was that about ? abby : what was what ? ashley : your reaction when travis answered victoria 's phone . abby : honestly , i thought victoria threw travis out . we had a quick talk last night , and things sounded bad , like , really bad . ashley : really ? abby : yeah . ashley : guess they 've worked things out , huh ? that 's -- that 's good . abby : i did n't know that you were so invested in victoria and travis making things work . ashley : oh , you know me . i 've always been a big fan of romance . abby : wait , where are you going ? you did n't even finish your coffee . ashley : i 've got some errands to run , but guess what -- i 'm gon na see you later at the ranch . abby : all right . ashley : mwah ! abby : bye . ashley : bye ! michelle : hey ! billy : oh , i 'm sorry ! i apologize . are you all right ? michelle : it 's you . billy : yeah , it 's me . it 's you . michelle : we met last night at the athletic club . billy : that 's right . michelle : i see i left quite the impression . billy : no , you -- you did . you did . i just did n't recognize you in your running gear and all windswept . it 's a nice look on you . i 'm billy abbott . michelle : oh , thanks . oh , abbott -- are you related to ashley ? billy : yeah , she 's my sister . how do you -- do you know her ? michelle : old friends . billy : ah . michelle : michelle . it 's nice to meet you officially . billy : nice to meet you , too . so , do you live here in genoa city ? michelle : no . no . i 'm visiting . billy : on business or pleasure ? michelle : why not both ? billy : why not , indeed . nick : uh , dylan and your mom are n't gon na be able to come to christian 's party today . faith : not even dylan ? he did n't do anything wrong . nick : i know he did n't , but , you know , he knows christian is christian , and i just do n't think he 'd want to come . faith : dylan was so excited for sully 's birthday . nick : yeah , i know . i know he was , but some things have changed , and we 're just trying to take things step by step . [ doorbell rings ] faith : i 'll get it . dylan ! see , dad ? dylan : hey , faith . can i talk to your dad for a minute ? nick : yeah , why do n't you , uh , run up and get christian 's shoes ? faith : okay . nick : come on in . dylan : sorry to just show up . nick : it 's all right . dylan : how 's he doing ? nick : you know , he 's doing great . we 're , uh -- we 're getting by . is that why you stopped by ? dylan : uh , actually , i came to say something . do n't press charges against sharon . billy : so , you 're a professional runner ? is that why you 're in town ? you 're here on running business ? michelle : [ laughs ] running business ? what would that be exactly ? billy : i do n't know . maybe you 're running a race or something . michelle : do i look like i 'm preparing for a race ? billy : i 'm just trying to throw things out there . michelle : [ laughs ] billy : figuring out what kind of business you 're in , because you know what , if it was abbott business , i would know about it . if it was newman business , you probably would have poured coffee on me by now . michelle : are those the only two options ? billy : in this town , yeah . yeah , it is . all right . you do n't want to talk business , we can talk pleasure . i 'm all ears with that . michelle : maybe another time . i got to -- i got to get my heart rate back up . it 's nice to finally meet ashley 's infamous little brother . billy : nice to be met , michelle . have a good jog . ashley , it 's your infamous little brother . we need to talk . nikki : the only criminal here is sharon ! victor : yeah , and she claims she kept up the lie to protect dylan . seemingly , you and sharon both need to protect him . is he delicate ? nikki : what ? victor : he 's a grown man ! nikki : what are you talking about ? victor : you know what i 'm talking about . nikki : sharon has lied to all of us this whole time . victor : of course . yes . nikki : and that is precisely why she is behind bars right now -- because she 's the only one responsible , okay ? victor : right . nikki : so , the family 's gon na be coming over very soon to celebrate the grandchildren . victor : and we will celebrate , okay ? but i will not let this go . nikki : fine . think what you want . i do n't want to hear about it today at all . got it ? victor : let 's not fight . let 's not fight , okay ? victoria : hi . nikki : hi ! oh , there are the birthday girls . victoria : oh , mom . travis : she shut me down , too . nikki : i know it 's supposed to be about the kids . i understand . well , you picked a very stubborn woman here , what can i say ? victor : come here , come here ! nikki : you look so beautiful and you 're so handsome . go see grandpa ! go see grandpa ! victor : come here , come here . oh , my goodness . my goodness . whoa . look at that . nikki : hey . i have an idea . how would you like to go feed the horses , because i have lots of carrots . victoria : they definitely want to feed the horses . go ahead . nikki : let 's go , my darlings ! this way ! let 's go ! victoria : travis and i are gon na tag along , too . thank you , daddy . you 're the best . thank you . victor : my pleasure , okay ? [ doorbell rings ] chloe : surprise . victor : this is by invitation only . chloe : well , chelsea invited me . i just dropped connor and bella off at the stables , and i thought i would just come and say hello to the host . victor : you mean , chelsea trusts you with connor ? chloe : yeah . of course . she watches bella , too . we 're one big , happy family . victor : only because she does n't realize what you did to adam . [ door opens ] paul : all right , sharon . i can escort you to your cell . sharon : paul , before we go , can we just talk ? paul : i have to follow protocol . sharon : okay . let me just say something , then , and you do n't have to respond . i 'm sorry i hurt your son . i 've hurt your grandson . paul : i do n't have a grandson . sharon : i wish you did . i truly do . i know that you ca n't forgive me . i 'm not gon na ask you to . but seeing you in pain -- you 're a good man . and dylan 's a good man . and you do n't deserve to suffer like this . you really do n't . i 'm so sorry . [ cell phone vibrates ] paul : okay , your arraignment has been moved up , so , um ... you might as well stay here until it 's time to take you to court . sharon : and then what ? to a cell ? paul : we 'll have to see . nick : i have n't turned on the tv , no one texted , no one told me sharon was arrested . dylan : she spent the night at the station . she 's waiting for her arraignment now . nick : how come no one could give me a heads up that charges were filed ? dylan : well , it 's because of the interview she did . suddenly , everything went to hell and sharon 's in cuffs , but ... look , maybe if you talked to christine , this whole thing could just go away . nick : how 's it gon na go away , dylan ? she went on national television . there is n't anything i can do or say that 's gon na get her out of this . dylan : i know , but -- if there 's a chance ... nick : dylan , please do n't do this . not today , man . dylan : i know , i know . i know it 's his birthday . i get it . your whole family 's together for the first time . i understand . nick : okay , then can we just -- dylan : but sharon -- she spent the night in a jail cell . we just lost sully . and after what she said on `` gc buzz , `` she 's probably gon na lose everybody else . nick : including you ? i mean , is that why you 're here ? one last act of kindness before you cut her loose ? nick : so are you gon na answer my question ? dylan : this is n't about my marriage or what happened . this is about sharon being locked up . nick : and you do n't think she should be ? dylan : i would n't be here if i did . nick : are you not angry , dylan ? dylan : of course i 'm angry . does n't mean i want sharon in jail . and i know it 's a lot to ask , but can you just show a little mercy ? [ doorbell rings ] nick : [ sighs ] chelsea : hi ! nick : hey . chelsea : time for some ca -- hi . sorry . i did n't realize you were here . do you want me to just meet you at the main house ? nick : no , no , it 's all right . just give me a minute and then we 'll walk up together . dylan : nick . nick : thanks for stopping by . chelsea : what was that about ? nick : sharon was arrested last night because of her interview on `` gc buzz . `` dylan came by to ask me to take it easy on her . chelsea : huh , well , uh , well , that makes sense , that dylan would say that . nick : does that make sense ? chelsea : listen , what sharon did was terrible . she broke a lot of hearts , but her heart was the first to break , you know , when she realized she never actually gave birth . i mean , you ca n't forget that . she lost , too . nick : everyone wants to cut sharon so much slack . chelsea : well , i 'm sure a lot of people actually would love to see her behind bars , but , really , what good would that do ? what would that accomplish ? nick : i did n't put her in this position , all right ? she did that to herself when she gave that interview . chelsea : but you could be the one to end all of this , at least the legal aspect . think about it , nick . you have -- you have christian . he 's sleeping and he 's beautiful and he 's perfect . why not just enjoy every second of that ? or you can spend your time nursing a grudge . ashley : hey . billy : hi . ashley : so , why did you summon me ? i 'm gon na see you pretty soon at katie 's birthday party . billy : because this is n't a conversation for the newman house . [ sighs ] i met your friend michelle . what 's her story ? ashley : why do you want to know ? do you want to hit on her ? billy : no . that 's not why i 'm asking . but i appreciate your vote of confidence . what 's her deal ? i mean , is she single , is she married ? and no , i 'm not asking so i can hit on her . ashley : okay . geez . she 's , um , going through a divorce . and i 'm not exactly sure why she 's in town . billy : okay , so answer me this -- how does she know travis ? abby : so , most of the cupcakes have a c or a k on them , but there might be one with the tiniest frosting v on it . victoria : oh , that is so sweet , but it 's totally not necessary . travis : well , i 'll take these to the kitchen . i bet your mom has a dozen platters for these . victoria : yeah , or more . abby : okay , what the heck ? you guys are fine again ? victoria : yeah , we 're more than fine . abby : you 're glowing . victoria : [ chuckles ] abby : all righty , then . all my questions are answered . victoria : wow . you look so relieved . abby : it 's just -- it 's reassuring when loves win , especially since dating a newman is n't exactly a cakewalk . and when dad 's the guy 's boss , well , love hardly ever wins . chloe : interesting ice - breaker -- you accuse all of your guests of homicide ? victor : listen to me . my family 's under attack . and you know what i do when that happens ? i go on the offensive . chloe : so because sharon is sharon , you 're gon na come after me ? i mean , i thought we were okay . victor : listen to me . if you had given me sage 's journal pages , adam would have been released before he attacked that guard . now he 's dead . chloe : well , your grandson connor is here , in the barn , playing with a pony . victor : my grandson connor is not the issue right now , okay ? chloe : no , but loss is . we both lost , victor . we both lost our children , except mine was young and innocent and had her entire life ahead of her . victor : you 're living in adam 's house . you and chelsea are looking after each other 's children . you have not told her a word about what you have done to adam . chloe : what , because i have n't told her how i helped you frame your son ? no . i have n't . but you know what ? she also does n't know exactly how you stuffed him into a jail cell . victor : you know what your problem is ? you talk too much . chelsea : hey . what are you two doing in here ? victor : hi ! look at that . victor : yeah . where 's nicholas ? chelsea : he 'll be here shortly . victor : okay . chelsea : christian woke up ready for action . victor : yeah ! oh ! chelsea : how 's connor doing ? chloe : oh , great . he and bella are having an endless pony ride . you know what , i should -- i should go check in on them . thank you for the warm welcome , victor . victor : you 're welcome . yes ! yes . what are you thinking ? what are you thinking ? chelsea : warm welcome , huh ? victor : what are you thinking ? chelsea : were you giving her a hard time ? victor : see ? look at that . there ! no , no , no . we were talking about the children , and your living arrangement , right ? chelsea : ah . yeah . it 's quirky , but it works for the both of us -- you know , two single moms . victor : it must be tough for you to realize that christian is connor 's half- brother . chelsea : yeah , i just try not to think about it too much . victor : yes . we 're talking about you . that 's right . oh ! where do you want to go ? where do you want to go ? you want to walk around ? there ! there we go ! there we go ! there we go . [ chuckles ] yes . i wish that adam was still alive to see that that boy is so healthy and alive . chelsea : yeah . you 're the only one i can really talk to about this , you know ? victor : mm - hmm . you sure ? you have n't told chloe anything about ... adam being christian 's father ? chelsea : god , no . i love chloe and i can count on her , but i -- i 'm never gon na tell her about this . victor : now , listen to me . just be careful with that . chloe is not as mentally sound as she would like everyone to believe . ashley : so , what makes you think there 's a connect between travis and michelle ? billy : really ? you 're gon na answer my question with a question ? all right , so why do n't we do this ? why do n't you tell me what i need to ask in order to get the answer that i 'm looking for ? ashley : okay . just settle down , all right ? they had an affair . she was married , he was n't . it was very messy and very ugly , but it 's okay . billy : she said that she 's here for business and pleasure , so which one of those is the reason travis is texting her ? ashley : wait a second , travis texted her ? billy : yeah . ashley : i made it very clear to michelle that travis was seriously involved with somebody . billy : you just told me that she cheated on her husband , so clearly fidelity is n't that important to her . ashley : and that turned out very badly for her . i 'm assuming that she 's learned from her mistake , billy . billy : well , let 's hope so . because if victoria 's about to get hurt , i 'm not gon na stand back and do nothing . chloe : i stole this from a pony . i hope that 's not a bad thing . victoria : [ laughs ] chloe : well , on a side note , the kids are having a great time in the barn . they 're just running around , squealing . victoria : aww , well , thanks for joining us . bella is adorable . she 's a great addition . chloe : thank you . victoria : yeah . chloe : i know . i love it . it 's really nice -- just the cupcakes , all the treats . you know , all the squealing . it 's a good sound . victoria : it 's the best . abby : okay , so , we definitely have way too many cupcakes . chloe : well , if you have about a dozen , we can take them off your hands later . maybe i 'll even let bella share . abby : i met her at the stables . she is so yummy . chloe : i know . i could just eat her up . so , how are you ? how 's married life ? abby : um , well , i was married , and , um .... well -- [ chuckles ] chloe : i 'm sorry . abby : no , it 's -- it 's okay . chloe : we can talk about something else . just talk about how cute my kid is . abby : and that is very true . [ laughter ] so , um , do you share custody with her father ? who is her father ? nikki : hi , chelsea . chelsea : hi . nikki : i heard that you brought christian . thank you for that . where is nicholas , though ? i thought he would be here long ago . chelsea : he will be , and he ca n't wait to celebrate with you and the rest of the family . he just had something to take care of first . sharon : they ca n't start the arraignment now because i -- i mean , dylan 's not here . i do n't have an attorney . can they make me just go in there alone ? paul : well , the bailiff publishes the docket , so we 'll have to comply with that . dylan : i just got word . michael 's back in town . he 's gon na meet us in the courtroom . who 's presiding ? paul : dalinski . dylan : [ sighs ] sharon : what does that mean ? is that bad ? i - i need to know what i 'm up against . dylan : he 's a by - the - book kind of judge . the fact that you 've run before , he 's not likely to ignore that . chloe : what ? i had to see which cupcake had superior frosting . and for your information , it 's purple for the win . abby : i 'm sorry about before . asking about bella 's father -- it 's none of my business . chloe : oh , it 's -- it 's fine . do n't worry about it . he 's long gone . plus , bella -- she has a triple dose of love . we have kevin around . so everything 's all good . um , you know what ? i 'm just gon na go have another cupcake . abby : why am i so nosey ? victoria : oh , i do n't know . it usually drives me crazy , but in this case , you have a right to ask some questions . i mean , she did come back to town a single mother after being in a psych ward . i 'm sure she 's been asked some more questions before today . abby : which makes me piling on even worse , not better . victoria : oh , she 'll be fine . so will you . let me help billy with those gifts . hey . billy : hey . victoria : so , one for katherine , one for christian ? billy : no , this one 's for christian . this one 's actually for connor . i did n't want him to feel left out . victoria : oh . billy : and for the record , katie 's present is being delivered tomorrow . it 's a dollhouse , and quite possibly could be bigger than -- bigger than the actual house . victoria : well , that 's gon na work well . is something wrong ? michelle : oh . ashley : not who you were hoping for ? travis wo n't be stopping by . he 's at a family gathering . so you do n't have to wait around for him . michelle : we 've known each other a long time , ashley . give me a little more credit than waiting by the phone for a man . ashley : and you did n't wait , did you ? you contacted him right after i saw you . michelle : travis has been a big part of my life . i wanted to catch up . ashley : mm - hmm . michelle : adults can do things like that . it is n't illicit . ashley : i know . i also know you 've been going through an emotional time since your divorce , and it 's only natural that you 'd want to recapture a happy moment in your life , but that moment has passed , michelle . was n't it destructive enough the last time ? michelle : you are making drama out of nothing , ashley . ashley : except that billy picked up on something , and neither one of us wants to see victoria get hurt . michelle : what does billy have to do with this ? ashley : he 's victoria 's ex - husband , michelle . the father of her children . billy : you know , maybe , uh ... i 'm just thinking or worried about what your father got katie for her birthday because i 'm sure he found out i got her a dollhouse , and so he bought her a condo or something . victoria : um , well , you just had this look on your face . billy : well , that 's what happens when i get within 100 yards of your father . it just kind of comes from the inside - out , ends up on my face . where 's katie ? i 'd like to swing her around while she 's still small enough to do so . victoria : there 's a pony show at the stable . billy : ah , yes , of course there is . i 'll see you in a sec . chloe : so , this has been awesome and casual and totally understated . chelsea : but you 're ready to leave . chloe : in , like , the worst way . chelsea : what happened ? did victor say something to you ? chloe : it 's just very newman - y . chelsea : right . chloe : and bella -- you know , she 's -- she 's exhausted . she 's probably gon na pass out on the car ride home . chelsea : yeah , connor 's pretty exhausted , too , and he 's becoming really cranky . would you mind taking him ? chloe : yeah . chelsea : i 'd go with you . i just -- i feel like i should be here when nick arrives . chloe : you know , nick 's kid is here , but nick is n't . it 's kind of weird , right ? chelsea : he has a good reason . dylan : you made your point at your place , nick . nick : actually , i 'm here to see you two . whatever charges you plan on filing against sharon , i 'm out . i do n't want any part of it . paul : you do n't want to press charges . nick : no . i do n't . paul : does your father feel the same way , nick ? nick : what does it matter ? since when do either of you bow to newman pressure ? christine : we do n't . not now , not ever . but there 's a case to be made with or without your support . nick : well , you can try the case if you want , but i 'm not taking the stand against sharon willingly . paul : the prosecution can have you subpoenaed . nick : right . the father of the baby -- treat him like a hostile witness . that 's gon na go great with the judge and the jury . what are you gon na do if i decide to testify on sharon 's behalf ? paul : all right , give us a minute , will you ? sharon : nick . you have no idea how much this means to me . nick : do n't thank me . and no more rogue interviews . i 'm already missing my son 's birthday to be here , and i 've missed too many days already . i just want this to be over , and the sooner that happens , the sooner i can have a real life with my son . paul : okay . christine : i 've made a decision about the charges . victoria : he 's all yours . abby : hey , buddy ! my gosh ! you know , you and i , we have met before , but it was n't like this . see , now -- now we are family . and i know there are a lot of us ... but there is someone very important missing , and i 'm really sorry that your mom is n't here . but you 're gon na be surrounded by so much love and a lot of spoiling . [ whispers ] by me . 'cause i know a lot about spoiling . and i might have been spoiled . victoria : mm - hmm . victor : she was never spoiled . victoria : oh , now we 're rewriting history . victor : are n't we ever . victoria : aww . is a yawn ? victor : look at him with his little binky . he can nap later . first , i 'm gon na give him his gift . victoria : oh , but dad , nick 's not here . victor : that 's all right . he wo n't mind . uh , may i have your attention , please ? nikki : well , it looks like it 's gift time , everyone . victor : you bet it is . billy : excuse me . you want to sit here and `` ooh `` and `` ahh `` and watch him buy the next generation 's love , or do you want to grab a drink with me ? travis : let 's go . michelle : so your little brother was pumping me for information . i knew he was after something . i just thought it was me . ashley : is there information ? michelle : uh , well , if billy wants his ex back , then he should be thanking me . he 's now one step closer . ashley : closer to what ? come on , michelle , you 've never been coy . if you 've got something to say , just say it . michelle : travis and i had something really good back then , something real and strong . ashley : so , what , you think you can get it back ? that 's why you 're here ? michelle : well , we do n't have to try and get it back because it 's never gone anywhere . last night , travis and i made love , and it was better than it 's ever been . billy : got to hand it to victor . he 's the only grown man i know that can make a kid 's party all about him . travis : does n't matter how many articles you read about the guy , it does n't prepare you for the real thing . billy : i 'll drink to that . travis : i , uh , owe you a thank - you . billy : for ? travis : vick said you put in a good word for me the other night , and i was out of line . you did n't have to cut me a break , but you did . billy : so you two worked it out , huh ? travis : yeah , we did . billy : is that before or after you were with michelle ? victoria : well , i could n't get katherine and johnny away from the ponies . they 're hooked . nikki : well , the more fun they have , the better they 'll sleep . victoria : [ chuckles ] victor : and now , this is for christian andrew newman . look at this . this is a place where you can store your first treasure . chelsea : oh ! victor : now , you know what the first treasure is ? a silver dollar . this is from the year that your grandfather was born . abby : only you could make cash sentimental , dad . victoria : that 's true . [ laughter ] faith : oh , look ! it says `` christian `` on it . chelsea : oh ! whoa ! victor : yes . that 's right , my boy . that 's your name -- christian andrew newman . just like your grandfather 's name . but we have more in common than that . you 're a tough boy . you 're a newman . it was very hard for christian at the beginning . it was touch - and - go . but he made it back to us . and you know something , from now on , you 'll be a member of this whole family . you 'll be protected , you 'll be adored , and one thing i can promise you -- [ christian squeals ] victor : that 's right . one thing i promise you -- justice will be done . all right ? to my newest grandchild . nikki : hear , hear ! abby : cheers . chelsea : cheers . [ next_on ] jack : that is the only reason she 's here . there is nothing between us . traci : you are a terrible liar . ashley : you need to do the right thing , michelle ! you 've got to walk away ! michelle : i ca n't . billy : you should know there 's no secrets in this town . travis : it 's really none of your business . billy : the hell it is n't .Summarize.[/INST]the newman family celebrates victoria , katie , and christian 's birthdays at the ranch while sharon waits for her hearing at the police station . ashley tells billy that michelle was travis 's ex - girlfriend . billy tells ashley that he saw a text from travis on michelle 's phone last night . he assures ashley that he wo n't allow travis to hurt victoria . michelle lets ashley know that she and travis made love . travis thanks billy for putting in a good word for him with victoria , because it helped them make up last night . billy wonders if travis made up with victoria before or after he was with michelle . dylan asks nick to talk to the police and maybe he can persuade them not to press charges against sharon . chelsea tells nick that sharon has suffered enough with the miscarriage of her child and losing christian too , so nick goes to the police station and tells paul and christine that if they press charges against sharon , he will testify on her behalf at her trial . victor is not very happy when nick arrives at the birthday party with sharon .</s> | 18,578 |

[ scene_break ] sonny : what are you doing here , sweetheart ? kristina : i heard you came back . and i wanted to know why . michael said you jumped bail because no one believed that you shot johnny in self - defense . sonny : that was part of it . kristina : so why risk coming back now ? sonny : because i wanted to prove my innocence . i did n't want my kids to think i was a coward for shooting an unarmed man . kristina : you did n't say good - bye . it 's weird . i thought i 'd be glad that you were gone . no more fights or forced family dinners . but when it really started to sink in that i might never see you again , i regretted all those months that i spent hating you , making you so crazy that you went after johnny . sonny : this was not your fault at all , sweetheart . kristina : i 'm glad you came back . michael needs you . sonny : i 'm gon na do everything i can to be the best dad i can be to all you guys . and do n't you ever forget that i ... i love you , okay ? kristina : where did you go ? sonny : tsk . uh , to get some perspective . kristina : i guess it worked . you came back . sonny : yeah , i got some good advice .

[ scene_break ] ethan : this is a sad sight . kristina : i do n't even know what i 'm doing here . i 'm way too old to be hanging out at a playground . ethan : nah , you 're never too old to have a little fun . you know , the swings , they used to be my favorite when i was a kid . i would jump off of the top , fly through the air . you know , it makes you feel free . kristina : i hoped it would . it did n't work . ethan : you thinking about your dad ? kristina : he came back . ethan : when ? kristina : a few hours ago . he turned himself in . the police are holding him at the station . and he 'll probably have to stay there in jail until the trial . and then he 'll probably go to pentonville after that . ethan : it might not come to that . kristina : my dad shot johnny . he claims it was self - defense , but johnny told the police he was n't even carrying a gun . i do n't know who to believe . ethan : maybe you could just sit this one out . less chance of getting hurt that way . kristina : he 's still my dad . i thought i 'd be better off without him . i mean , all he ever does is break promises . but when i heard he was back , i was relieved . i did n't want my dad spending his whole life thinking that i hate him . i do n't hate him . ethan : well , have you told him . kristina : i do n't hate him . chickened out at the station . i made it all about how michael 's happy to have him back . pathetic , right ? ethan : nah , no , that 's not pathetic . it 's hard to open up to someone who 's let you down . kristina : he has . over and over again . and just when i think i 'm about to give up on him , he goes and does something pretty decent . i want to believe in my dad , but i 'm afraid to get my hopes up again . ethan : well , then do n't . kristina : what ? ethan : do n't get your hopes up . but do n't assume that sonny 's gon na let you down again , you know . you need to stop making up your mind as to how something is supposed to end up . just be open to the possibilities , you know . maybe life will surprise you and it 'll be a little fun . kristina : i 'm all in for having fun . ethan : that makes two of us . [ scene_break ] carly : hi . jax : okay , how much is it gon na cost me this time ? carly : why are you assuming that i 'm seeing you about money ? jax : because you always butter me up before you tell me the bad news . so which part of the hotel needs an overhaul ? carly : it has nothing to do with the hotel , and it 's not all bad . jax : okay , spit it out . carly : sonny 's back . jax : the police found him ? carly : no . no , he turned himself in . he wants to clear his good name . jax : oh , how uncharacteristic and noble of him . carly : he does n't want his kids to think he 's guilty . jax : he did n't pull the trigger by mistake , carly . he wanted johnny dead . carly : yes , but he 's claiming self - defense . jax : great . and of course , diane 's gon na run with that , twist all the words around , and sonny 's gon na walk again . i 'm having a hard time seeing the good news in this . carly : no , i just said it was n't all bad . jax : oh . carly : okay , look , i 'm thinking sonny found brenda in rome and she was having too good of a time with her new boyfriend and she wanted nothing to do with sonny . jax : well , if that 's true , that would be good news for brenda . and you , of course , since you ca n't stand the thought of seeing sonny with any other woman . carly : no . i ca n't stand the thought of sonny leaving his kids . and now that sonny has realized he has to come back and face his problems , then maybe michael will do the same .

[ scene_break ] jason : okay , dante and i found something that might get the charges against you dropped . sonny : i 'm listening . jason : there 's a construction worker who was doing a site survey on baker street the night of the shooting . sonny : did he see anything ? jason : he recorded it all with a camera . sonny : well , then the cops ca n't charge me . did you show it to diane ? jason : sonny , there 's a problem . from where the guy was standing , you ca n't see a gun in johnny 's hand . sonny : so it was a video showing me shooting johnny ? jason : right . but dante thinks he can use it as leverage to get johnny to admit the truth and clear this whole thing up without going to trial . sonny : dante is dreaming if he thinks johnny is gon na let me off the hook . jason : sonny , this is where you 're gon na have to give him some incentive . before you told me that you wanted a truce . if dante gets johnny to agree , will you ? [ scene_break ] brenda : a knife to my throat . that 's how good your security guys are . how did they get past security ? suzanne : probably the same way the paparazzi did . someone got paid off . look , interpol is searching the whole building . they 're talking to all the cartullo employees . they 're probably gon na want to talk to you , too . brenda : i just want this to be over . suzanne : we agreed that if there was another incident , you would leave rome . brenda : it 's very complicated . suzanne : let me uncomplicate it . the balkan is n't going to stop until he shuts you up for good . you forget about your career , and you start thinking about self - preservation . this is serious , brenda . if you do n't call murphy , i will . [ scene_break ] kristina : my dad 's always warning me about what a bad person johnny is , but i do n't see it . what do you think ? you work with him . ethan : johnny has a lot of pent - up anger over losing his sister . that kind of pain can cloud judgment and make you do things you did n't think you could . now , that does n't make johnny a bad person , all right , but it does n't really help the situation with your father , either . kristina : what would ? ethan : well , see , you 're doing it again . kristina : what ? ethan : trying to make everything right for everybody around you . it 's not your job to fix this , kristina . okay , nor is it your job to make your dad into someone he 's not . all you can do is love him for who he is right now . you know , that 's allowed . just like you 're allowed to hang out on the playground when you think you 're too old for it . stop worrying about what everyone thinks . you know , just do what feels right . kristina : how 'd you get to be so smart ? ethan : i 'm not . but you do bring out the best in me .

[ scene_break ] diane : so then , you are sure about this ? nina : mm - hmm . yes . what did valentin think was gon na change in 30 days ? diane : your mind , obviously . nina : [ laughs ] right . because he turned my office into a moroccan holiday or because he put out ads in crimson professing his love for me , because he got charlotte a horse so we could ride together . forget it . these are gestures . diane : it seemed to have had an effect . nina : [ sighs ] listen , diane , he 's lied so much . not only that , he condemned a small child to a lifetime of hell . there 's no love that can overcome that . diane : so you do still love him . nina : it 's not enough . diane : may i make an observation ? nina : [ chuckles ] diane : you 've delayed this now for 30 days . you just told me some -- i 'm sure not all -- of the wonderful things that valentin has done for you in that time . you 're shaking a little bit . and you have n't picked up the pen . you 're allowed to have reservations . you do not have to go through with this . i can simply bill you for the meeting -- yes , of course -- but i can put this in your file , and you can decide at a later date . there 's no penalty for not signing those papers . but let me tell you -- as someone who has had a ringside seat for these kinds of things -- there is a very special kind of pain that comes when you divorce someone you love , no matter how easy the division of assets . the breaking apart of two lives costs a lot of wear and tear on the heart . so please , be super certain that this is what you want to do before you dive in . nina : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] curtis : i 'm all about making nina happy . i do n't think you hold that same ticket . valentin : no , you 're right , i do n't . not right now , anyway , and that is why i need you to find for nina the one thing that 's gon na make her happier than anything in this world . curtis : [ scoffs ] unless you found a breakthrough medical procedure that 'll allow her to get pregnant -- valentin : i found her child . curtis : what ? valentin : well , i do n't have a location and i do n't have an identity at the moment , but that 's where you come in . i know she exists . curtis : she ? valentin : yeah . nina has a daughter . curtis : nina miscarried . valentin : no , that 's what her mother wanted her to believe , but she successfully delivered a baby girl while in her coma . curtis : who told you this ? valentin : madeline reeves . curtis : nina 's mom ? valentin : yeah . i had to drag it out of her , but she finally admitted it . and i believe her . somewhere out there , nina 's daughter does n't know she has a mother , and vice versa . and you can make that happen . [ scene_break ] margaux : so , this is my very first case , right ? drew : mm - hmm . margaux : and the defendant looks oddly familiar , so i double - checked the name and it turns out that i went out with him in middle school . drew : middle school ? wait , so you had to prosecute your ex - boyfriend ? is n't that like a conflict of interest or something ? margaux : that 's exactly what i thought , so i went to my supervisor -- this woman , she was amazing , she had literally seen everything -- and she asked me if it was a `` significant `` relationship . and i assured her it had lasted all of , i do n't know , seven hours . and , i mean , the last time i had seen him was when i was in middle school when his family moved away . i was like 12 . so , she told me [ chuckles ] that it was a waste of her time to discuss further , it was a waste of the court 's time to try the case , and she wanted to hear by the end of the day that i had successfully negotiated a plea deal . drew : well , did you ? margaux : well ... his lawyer tried to bargain it down to community service , and there was no way i could come back with that on my first case . drew : but , wait a minute , you knew that your supervisor did n't want you to take it to trial . margaux : i bluffed . i said i 'd up the charges to attempted murder . he caved against his attorney 's advice , and he took a plea deal for five years -- out in two . yes . drew : wow . so no qualms about sending your first love to prison . margaux : he was n't my first love . he was my first conviction . and i will always have a special place for him in my heart . drew : [ chuckles ] so , i guess the moral of the story is that , uh , you 're a da first and everything else comes second . margaux : i would n't go that far . i 'm pretty passionate about baseball . drew : i - i know that . so besides baseball and law , what else ? what else are you passionate about ? margaux : you first . what inspires your passion ?

'cause believe me , i earn it . and second , you seem to have wandered far from whatever your original point was . spinelli : perhaps i can make it clearer . jason pays you a fortune . the least you could do is try to keep him out of jail . diane : okay . all right . i can go to the pcpd . i can try and make ronnie dimestico 's life a living hell . i might even be able to delay jason 's return to pentonville by a few hours , maybe . but the bottom line is , jason 's going back because that 's what he agreed to do . spinelli : it 's not fair . stone cold just agreed to an amorphous class `` d `` felony just so he could protect michael in prison . diane : spinelli , that 's what a plea bargain is . it is a transaction between the justice system and the accused . jason got what he wanted , the ability , the chance to try to protect michael in prison . now jason 's got to hold up his end of the deal . and that means 2 to 5 years behind bars . spinelli : how is that justice ? michael should never have been behind bars in the first place . had dante the betrayer not vilely thrown the young sir under the proverbial bus , none of this would be happening . diane : i know ! i know . it stinks . do you think if there were a point of law that i could argue , if there were a precedent that i could cite , that i would n't ? i would do so happily . but jason made this deal with his eyes wide open , and now he 's got to pay the price . spinelli : you said you could maybe delay the transfer to pentonville . diane : a couple of hours maybe . spinelli : i guess any reprieve would be welcome . diane : are you sure ? you sure it would n't hurt more to drag it out ? spinelli : i know it may seem like a petty or shallow form of vengeance , but , i mean , if , as you say , you can make detective dimestico 's life miserable , make him wait a little longer or work a little harder to incarcerate my friend , that would be some small oasis of consolation in a wasteland of injustice . diane : well , now that you mention it , there is a judge who owes me a favor .

[ ethan laughs ] ethan : okay , you can be as unethical and as morally bankrupt as you please as long as you keep lining my pockets with dead presidents and i can stay under the line of fire . johnny : well , that 's gon na be a little difficult because if things go according to plan , then we could have a war on our hands . ethan : okay , i already told you , i have an aversion to firearms . especially after recent events . all right . but i could be valuable to you as a strategist or as an advisor , if you will . johnny : no way . i 've never been that good at taking advice . ethan : okay , well , you 'd be an idiot to ignore me . look , i 'm the man with the vision , all right . and i do n't envision this ending well for you . johnny : look , carly 's hot . she 's smart . she and sonny have a connection . and more than any other woman , sonny is invested in carly . ethan : yeah , because she is the mother of 2 of his kids . johnny : which gives him a sense of ownership . you should have seen it last night . when she was over at my place , sonny found out about it . he called her on her cell freaked out , demanded that she leave . look , i do n't think it 's gon na happen , but if it does and carly and i end up in bed together , it 'll make sonny 's head explode . and that could be fun .

[ scene_break ] dante : i thought we were on the same page here trying to track down a madman . ronnie : you do n't get it . i 'm actually looking out for you here . dante : we 're talking about a guy who 's left a trail of bodies down route 66 . he tried to blow up the woman i love . and now he 's arbitrarily kidnapped an infant , all in the name of playing this game with jason to impress him . which means we need jason to catch him . ronnie : you know , that 's one theory . and here 's another . why do n't you give all the information you have over to the feds and get back to your real job ? dante : i 'm doing my job . ronnie : oh , not from where i 'm standing you 're not . look , your father 's been running this town for years , okay . and with his main enforcer behind bars , then he 's gon na lose his main man , and then if he 's smart , sonny will shut it down . no more wars , no more corinthos organization , and no more victims of violence . dante : and so what if a baby dies , right ? ronnie : you know , if you do n't stop fighting this , you 're gon na just confirm what everybody already thinks about you . all right , that you 're soft on sonny . spinelli : may the jackal point out that an innocent baby has been kidnapped and is in dire need of stone cold 's expertise ? ronnie : shut up , hacker boy . dante : no , spinelli 's right . he uncovered evidence that shows that franco covered his tracks with a legal paper trail to make it look like he adopted the kid . ronnie : all right , good . so get that information over to the feds . meanwhile , jason 's run out of time . come on . sam : wait , what the hell is this ? spinelli : the zealot of justice insists that stone cold is re - incarcerated . sam : are you kidding ? somebody has got to do something . ronnie : it 's too late . do n't worry , honey , you can visit your boyfriend in pentonville . dante : hey , hey , hey . [ scene_break ] sonny : as we all know , johnny has been a problem from day one . the only reason i did n't take care of him back then was because , you know , i married his sister . bernie : yeah , but if johnny dies , there could be complications . i mean , anthony zacchara has not mellowed in pentonville . sonny : yeah , he 's losing traction . the longer he stays in prison , the less power he has . but let 's assume that you 're right and he gathers up enough force to retaliate . okay . he 's gon na go after santos lopez . that 's the beauty of all this . tommy 's gone , johnny 's gone . and let 's say anthony decides to take out santos , that 's another thorn removed from my side . now , what if anthony dies in prison ? it 's a win - win situation no matter how you cut it . claire : i would n't bet on it . [ scene_break ] [ knock on door ] spinelli : friend or foe ? diane : i beg your pardon ? i received an urgent text message that my services were -- spinelli : yes , of course . the brusque lady of justice is most welcome . stone cold is in direst need of your services . diane : which means he 's either on the run and has become a fugitive from justice or -- spinelli : if only that were so . the jackal had the means to assure stone cold 's safe escape , but nobly , or foolishly , he refused . diane : so he 's been taken into custody ? spinelli : by the pernicious policeman ronnie dimestico , who could not wait to drag stone cold back to pentonville . so now you must find a way to subvert his sinister intent . diane : i think you want me to assure you that i can keep him out of jail . spinelli : yes , i do . diane : ca n't . spinelli : okay , with deepest respect , in light of the exorbitant retainer that stone cold pays you to look after his legal affairs , a sum of which the jackal is most familiar it is i who oversees stone cold 's financial affairs -- diane : whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa . hold up . you are in no position to comment on the size of my retainer . 'cause believe me , i earn it . and second , you seem to have wandered far from whatever your original point was . spinelli : perhaps i can make it clearer . jason pays you a fortune . the least you could do is try to keep him out of jail . diane : okay . all right . i can go to the pcpd . i can try and make ronnie dimestico 's life a living hell . i might even be able to delay jason 's return to pentonville by a few hours , maybe . but the bottom line is , jason 's going back because that 's what he agreed to do . spinelli : it 's not fair . stone cold just agreed to an amorphous class `` d `` felony just so he could protect michael in prison . diane : spinelli , that 's what a plea bargain is . it is a transaction between the justice system and the accused . jason got what he wanted , the ability , the chance to try to protect michael in prison . now jason 's got to hold up his end of the deal . and that means 2 to 5 years behind bars . spinelli : how is that justice ? michael should never have been behind bars in the first place . had dante the betrayer not vilely thrown the young sir under the proverbial bus , none of this would be happening . diane : i know ! i know . it stinks . do you think if there were a point of law that i could argue , if there were a precedent that i could cite , that i would n't ? i would do so happily . but jason made this deal with his eyes wide open , and now he 's got to pay the price . spinelli : you said you could maybe delay the transfer to pentonville . diane : a couple of hours maybe . spinelli : i guess any reprieve would be welcome . diane : are you sure ? you sure it would n't hurt more to drag it out ? spinelli : i know it may seem like a petty or shallow form of vengeance , but , i mean , if , as you say , you can make detective dimestico 's life miserable , make him wait a little longer or work a little harder to incarcerate my friend , that would be some small oasis of consolation in a wasteland of injustice . diane : well , now that you mention it , there is a judge who owes me a favor . [ scene_break ] ronnie : do n't get too comfortable . you 'll be processed before your ass can even warm that chair . you know , it 's a good thing that you did n't try to run , because had you , i would have hunted you down like a rabid dog . jason : are we done ? ronnie : are we done ? no , you 're done . all that 's left to do is file the paperwork . and then put a fork in you . because that 's how done you are . and then i 'm gon na put you in pentonville so you can rot . and , you know , it 's just a matter of time before sonny does something stupid and careless . and when he does , i 'll be waiting . and then maybe you guys can end up being roommates . man : got morgan 's transfer paperwork .

please . theresa : [ scoffs ] brady : all right , so listen ... listen , i want to help . i do n't remember anything . my memory is a blank . abe : look ... from the get - go , theresa is saying you acted in self - defense . now , she repeated that this morning . hope : brady , you 're not saying anything . does that mean you have your doubts and that theresa has it wrong ? brady : yeah . theresa : do n't do anything stupid , brady , okay ? you -- you did n't do anything wrong . eve : who did n't do anything wrong ? theresa : what the hell are you doing here , eve ? eve : well , i had an appointment , you know , about my throat surgery , but the doctor 's in chicago , and , of course , nobody called to even tell me about it . i 'll just add that to my peachy encounter with jenn this morning . of course , your warm , little greeting here 's just the perfect start to a perfect ... theresa : [ groans ] eve : day . what -- do n't get any coffee on your tacky dress . honey , hey . hey . what 's going on ? look at me . what 's wrong ? you 're pale . you 've got dark circles under your eyes . theresa : you know what ? i 've been here all night , eve , okay ? eve : oh , my god . what have you done now ? eric : do you have a minute ? nicole : i , uh ... sure . come on in . so what do you want ? eric : i need to ask a favor . nicole : okay . eric : it 's about sami . nicole : oh , my favorite subject . that sami 's taken over dimera enterprises -- is that it ? eric : yes and no . you 're gon na hear a lot of negative comments about her . you probably already have . nicole : oh , we are talking about sami . eric : well , the thing is , it could start to snowball -- everyone piling on . what i 'm asking is , is that you do n't make it worse . nicole : sorry ? eric : you have news to report , and i get that . i just ... i just want you to show some restraint . i know you two do n't care for each other , but she has children . nicole : right . eric : i take it as a ... nicole : as what ? eric : as a personal favor . nicole : yeah , okay . you know i 'd do anything for you . eric : thank you . nicole : you look tired . you want to sit ? eric : no , i 'm gon na get going . nicole : eric , wait . please . vo : sadly , angela 's gotten used to the odor her cat leaves in the couch , eric : what ? what , nicole ? what ? nicole : well , you came all the way over here . so , i mean , why rush off ? eric : i asked a favor . you said yes , and i 'm done . nicole : well , maybe i 'm not . look , the fact that you came all the way over here , even if it was just for a favor , it 's something , at least it is to me . it 's kind of like a baby step . i can hope . one baby step here , one baby step there . eric : nicole , really ? nicole : seriously ... how many homilies did you give on hope ? and what , now it 's wrong ? it 's wrong to hope that maybe someday we could be friends again ? look , i know you 're tired of hearing it . but if one of us does n't push , then it 's never gon na happen . look , just this morning i was on the phone with daniel , saying , `` you know what ? maybe we should just get some coffee together . `` eric : did he say yes ? did he ? nicole : no , not in so many words . eric : i 'm sure it was one word ... `` no . `` jennifer : oh , my gosh . i was just calling you . aiden : hey , what 's going on ? what 's up ? jennifer : okay , do you remember when i said i was gon na sit down with eve one- on - one and try to hammer out a deal ? aiden : yeah , yeah . here , sit down . jennifer : okay , well , this is the deal . you are going to hammer her . she does not get one penny , not one cent , aiden . aiden : wow . sounds like someone 's ready for a fight . jennifer : oh , i 'm ready to fight if you 're ready . aiden : definitely am . like i said , when i looked at that annulment document , i felt i have a really good shot at getting it thrown out , but what happened ? what happened with eve ? jennifer : let 's just put it this way . there are some people that you can always count on to do the wrong thing . theresa : what the hell , eve ? i mean , why does everyone always assume that i 'm doing something wrong ? eve : well , it 's because it 's what you do . theresa : i 've had a really rough morning , okay ? and a hell of a night . and right now i 'm just really worried about my husband , who -- eve : oh , wait , wait . back it up here . hus -- husband ? theresa : yes , brady black , and he 's terrific , okay ? do n't -- do n't tell dad , please . eve : well , sorry , but i am your sort of sister , and that is kind of family news , right ? theresa : yeah , but just do n't say anything yet . please , eve , i -- look , it was last night . it was kind of an impulse thing , and i -- eve : oh , my god . do n't tell me . you put your husband in the hospital on his wedding night ? what , did you snag some old geezer and have so much sex ... theresa : oh , my god . eve : that you gave him a heart attack ? [ laughing ] is that what you did ? theresa : no , eve ! i just -- look , it was n't my husband , okay ? it was his father . there was this ... horrible fight . i mean , it was an accident , really . it was an accident , and -- eve : oh , my god . how many accidents do you have a month ? okay , i 'm gon na repeat this . what did you do ? theresa : [ crying ] seriously , eve ... [ sniffles ] i could just really use some support right now , maybe a little help . but you know what ? you always -- you always have to cut me down . just get the hell out of here , all right ? just -- no , just get out . i do n't want to -- no , get the hell out of here ! eve : come on , now . theresa : look , i did n't do anything . i ... [ sighs ] i did n't do anything wrong . that 's how it 's gon na stay . brady : i was drunk ... last night . i was deep down drunk . there 's no way to know what i wanted to do or what i meant to do . [ sighs ] no judgment whatsoever . hope : henderson said he could hear yelling , even from the servants ' rooms . abe : you know , maybe the two of you were mixing it up ... and it was n't necessarily self - defense . brady : [ stammers ] look , i know that 's what theresa said . i just -- i do n't know if it was self - defense or -- hope : brady ... you married theresa last night , but you 're not wearing your wedding ring . abe : you think you and john were fighting about theresa ? brady : maybe . hope : daniel ... any word ? brady : just -- just say it . daniel : well , your father 's physical condition has been upgraded from critical to stable . brady : oh , thank god . daniel : but he has slipped deeper into a coma . brady : i do n't -- '' deeper `` ? i do n't understand . daniel : if it were a medically induced coma , essentially , the doctors are in control , and we could bring him back at any moment . but this is different , and john ... well , john has gone deeper , and , uh ... brady : and you ca n't bring him back ? daniel : we are not in control . brady : what are you -- what are you saying ? daniel : we do n't know if he 'll ever wake up . eric : it 's written in your eyes , nicole . daniel said , `` no . `` nicole : and what , that makes you happy ? you get to kick me one more time ? eric : you know me better than that . and i think it 's time that you faced the truth . you lied to daniel . he trusted you to do the right thing , and you used him . and now you think you can just casually say , `` hey , let 's go grab some coffee , `` and all is forgiven ? it does n't work that way . nicole : fine ! i get it ! i was an idiot . and how dare i ask for forgiveness ? my life is a disaster on two feet , and it should stay that way forever because i 'm worthless , right ? right ? daniel : brady , i want to stay positive . i really do . but as of now , it 's really up to john . his brain needs time to heal . look , it 's like a computer . it shuts down to save energy . it goes into safe mode . and the brain can heal . and if it does , we 're going somewhere . if not .. brady : if not -- i - i got it . if we 're done -- abe : yeah , sure . go see your dad . brady : thanks , man . daniel : yeah , hang in there . okay , fyi , i 'm handing john 's case off to the staff . hope : you got him through the surgery . daniel : i did . he just needs long - term care right now . abe : yeah , thanks for everything , man . daniel : no , no , you bet . it 's -- you know , it 's been a long night , so i 'm gon na swing by the pub and get something to eat , okay ? maxine : and then you 'll go home and get some rest , right ? daniel : uh , no . i will come back here and do my rounds . hope : take care . daniel : all right , i 'll see you later . hope : bye . i 'll make some notes . abe : yeah . right . yeah , things are pretty vague , but , hey ... hope : hey , listen , when brady said -- theresa : [ sighs ] [ sighs ] i ca n't stand this . i -- daniel : [ sighs ] eve : daniel ? [ laughs ] i did n't know that you were gon na be here . wow . hope : you 're back . i thought brady said he did n't need a lawyer . aiden : well , i have a few other clients to see here in the hospital today . hope : oh . aiden : yeah . so my , uh , message box has been filled with compliments about the -- the gala . hope : yeah , uh , mine too . aiden : it was a very good night for us ... and for the gala . theresa : ugh , for pete 's sake , do i get a rest ? abe : i am just trying to get a handle on what 's going on . this is not a witch- hunt . theresa : oh , well , you could 've fooled me . i mean , what , do you think i 'm just making this up ? look , i know what i saw . brady was just defending himself . aiden : okay , folks , i 'm going to insist that if there are any more questions that they be asked in a formal setting in my presence , okay ? theresa : thank you . abe : yeah . theresa : now , uh , w - where 's brady now ? hope : theresa , i am sure no one meant to make you feel uncomfortable . abe : brady 's in with his dad . theresa : well , then that 's where i should be , with my husband . mr. jennings ? thank you . i mean , they know i 'm just way too upset . i ca n't -- i ca n't think straight . i mean , they 're trying to put words in my mouth . aiden : okay , look , they put a pin in it for now , but if you need me , call , okay ? theresa : thank you . aiden : yeah . john : [ groans ] theresa : [ breathes shakily ] brady ... how 's he doing ? brady : answer me a question first . theresa : okay . brady : i know what you said about what happened last night . but what i need to know is ... were you lying ? so , duke , what do you think of our new bush 's baked beans video game ? hope : theresa seems , uh ... pretty jumpy , huh ? abe : you know , there are really only three alternatives . `` a , `` she 's telling the truth . `` b , `` she 's lying to protect brady . hope : and trying to cover things up , making sure he ca n't be charged . abe : or `` c `` ... hope : she did it herself . well , that 's a stretch ... right ? abe : forensics is telling us that there 's nothing to contradict what she 's saying . the trouble is ... theresa 's the one saying it . hope : yeah . but , you know , i can see why she 's so jumpy , though . if she does anything , anything at all that breaks the terms of her probation , going back to l.a. means going to prison for her . abe : you know she 's not gon na change her story . so we just have to wait for brady or john to fill in the blanks . hope : only john is in a coma , and brady has no memory . theresa : `` lying `` ? [ scoffs ] seriously , brady ? i mean , you think i would lie about something like this ? brady : theresa , listen , yeah , yeah , i do . i think you would to protect me . so i need to know , were you lying ? tell me . theresa : no , brady , listen to me . okay , listen ... look , i swear you did n't do anything wrong , okay ? john was ... he was attacking you , and i saw it . and you were just defending yourself . i mean , look , come on , i know that you feel bad about what happened , but no one 's going to blame you for doing what you had to do , okay ? you understand that , right ? brady : you know what i need ? theresa : yeah , you need some rest . brady : no , what i need -- i need a meeting . i need a meeting . marlena should be back in a little while , and it 's probably best i 'm not here when she gets here . theresa : a meeting ? brady : yeah , things , uh ... things need to change for me . theresa : okay . okay , look , i 'll just go with you . hope : uh ... it 's hard to know what to say to you ... i mean if you might be representing brady or theresa . aiden : well , if it becomes official , i 'll speak up . hope : uh , last night , um ... at the gala , the way i took off with ciara -- aiden : hey ... no problem . you know , we still have to get together , do a write- up about how the evening went , maybe make some suggestions for next year , but i can do that myself . hope : well , i can handle that ... on my own . maxine : brady 's a mess , ca n't remember a thing . and his dad -- honey , that man is in deep trouble . jennifer : daniel was the surgeon ? maxine : oh , yeah . otherwise , mr. black would n't even be alive . and guess what . he 's going over to the pub to get something to eat . then he 's coming back to make rounds . jennifer : i know . he drives himself too hard . maxine : it 's probably because he 's lonely . eve : so you sure it 's all right if i join you here ? daniel : ah , of course . eve : thank you . [ both chuckle ] eve : well , i mean , look at you . you 're looking a little tired there , my friend . daniel : yeah , well ... eve : did you have an early call ? daniel : no , no , no , more like an all - nighter , you know , an emergency . managed to save the patient . just a -- it 's a tough situation , though . yeah . what ? what is it ? eve : i hate to pry , but that emergency did n't have anything to do with my little sister , theresa , did it ? daniel : yeah , i ca n't really talk about the case . eve : okay , i get it . i get it . just , i ... i saw her earlier , and i do n't know . i just -- what can i say ? trouble just seems to follow that girl around . daniel : oh , yeah , i hear you . i hear you . eve : i mean , i know i 'm no saint , but theresa -- whoo - hoo - hoo - hoo - hoo . daddy asked me to check in on her , but i 'm telling you , that is one tough job . daniel : yeah , well , i 'm sure you 're doing the best you can . eric : i 'm not sure what i 'm supposed to say to that , nicole . after what you did ... nicole : after what i did ? what i did , i did because i loved you and you loved me , remember ? or did you forget about that ? okay , you know what ? i - i was weak ... too weak because i was afraid to lose you , so i lied . i lied , and i -- and i fought , and i did anything i could . what , now i 'm this horrible person , right , who 's not worth a minute of your time ? until you need a favor . aiden : i 'm sorry . hope : no , i 'm sorry . aiden : you know , i just assumed that -- hope : exactly . you ... because of this case , we probably should n't be having private meetings or actually , um ... anything else that could be misconstrued . aiden : okay . okay , i 'll do the post - gala stuff on my own , so ... hope : thank you . aiden : you 're welcome . i got to go . okay . brady : i 'm gon na hit that meeting alone . there 's lots of things i need to get a handle on . theresa : oh . okay . brady : we 'll , uh , we 'll talk about the marriage later . but i do n't want to be late for the meeting , so we 'll deal with that later . theresa : yeah , it 's no problem . i hope it helps . brady : it has to . it better ... 'cause i need to make some changes . theresa : hey , um ... about your dad , did they say -- brady : the doctors ran more tests , theresa . they said he 's in ... a deeper coma ... maybe permanent . [ door closes ] theresa : [ sighs ] permanent , okay . eve : oh , i am being a total , total downer . and i 'm so sorry . it 's the last thing that you need after a tough night . daniel : ah , no , no , no . eve : so tell me -- how is parker ? is he still with his mom ? daniel : oh , yeah , yeah , yeah . but we 'll touch base tonight . eve : aw . you miss him a lot , do n't you ? daniel : oh , i do . eve : you know , i can remember the first time i had to go away out of town on business , and i left paige with a friend of mine . daniel : mm - hmm . eve : and i got this really vague email . `` sorry about paige 's hair . `` well , hell , i did n't know what that meant , and she 'd shut off her phone . so i just stewed , and i stewed , and i stewed , and i thought , `` i just ca n't take it anymore . `` so i got in the car , and i just drove all the way back home . and the whole time i 'm thinking , `` oh , my gosh , `` you know , `` maybe she got too close to the stove . oh , my gosh , it 's my fault . something 's bad happened to her . `` so i get there . i walk in only to find that paige had decided to wear her food on her head . daniel : [ laughing ] oh , no . eve : oh , yeah . and my friend -- she had shampooed her hair , and paige had all these little curls just all over her hair and going every which way . daniel : oh , my gosh . eve : of course , i felt like a total , total idiot . daniel : oh , no , no , no , no . eve : no , i was the idiot . daniel : every parent has that moment where their kid decides to just -- brrh -- dump everything on their hair . eve : you too ? parker ? daniel : oh , yeah . oh , my god , in spades . i got so many pictures . eve : oh , show me . show me , show me , show me . daniel : you want to see ? eve : yes , i 'd love to . daniel : oh , my god . wait till you see this kid . eve : okay , well , we 'll just have to see . we 'll have a battle here -- battle of the hairdos . daniel : all right , look at that , look at that . eve : oh , that 's great . daniel : right ? guess who had to clean it up . jennifer : [ sighs ] [ muffled laughter , indistinct conversation ] nicole : you come here , here , of all places , and you ask for a little favor , but god forbid should i ask you for one minute of your time . eric : what do you want ? nicole : you said you loved me . i do n't know -- maybe to treat me like a person . eric : and how did you treat me , like a person or a prize ? nicole : i loved you ! i did what i did because i loved you . eric : no , you loved the idea of love , but you did n't love me . i do n't know what it was , but it was n't love . nicole : you son of a bitch , | eric asked nicole not to report what sami was going through . nicole agreed for eric , but she wanted to repair their relationship . eric did n't want to do it . eve ran into theresa at the hospital . theresa ended up telling eve that she got married . theresa was worried about what happened to john and wanted eve 's support . eve only wanted to know what trouble theresa got into so theresa did n't tell her . theresa wanted her to leave . hope and abe questioned brady about john . daniel told brady that john slipped into a coma . | <s>[INST] nicole : eric ... what are you doing here ? eric : i belong here . nicole : but you said ... eric : that i 'd never forgive you ? i had to because i love you . [ alarm buzzing ] nicole : mm . [ groans ] [ buzzing stops ] [ cell phone clatters ] nicole : [ groans ] jennifer : maybe aiden can see me today . [ doorbell rings ] jennifer : what are you doing here ? eve : jenn , we both know that we need to sit down and discuss the ... book . [ monitor beeping ] brady : [ sighs ] [ door opens ] daniel : hey . brady : hey . will you please tell me some good news ? that i did n't destroy my father 's life ? [ monitor beeping ] john : all i need to know about you is what you did to my son and why your father gave up on you . theresa : do n't talk to me about my father ! john : i 'm calling it the way it is . theresa : like hell you are . john : you really think that i do n't know all the grief you 've caused your family and how they really feel about you -- theresa : damn it , just shut up ! john : you are a complete embarrassment to them . theresa : i said shut up ! just stay away from him ! he hates you ! john : just back off ! [ groans ] hope : theresa . abe : you okay ? theresa : um ... look , brady 's with john , and he 's a total mess . he 's really worried . hope : how about you ? theresa : well , of course i 'm worried . look , we all are . hope : i meant how are you holding up ? abe filled me in on what happened . abe : we were hoping you could tell us your story again . theresa : it 's not a story , okay ? it 's what happened . abe : okay . okay . theresa : i told you , okay ? john was attacking brady . and brady -- he was just defending himself as best as he could . i mean , end of story . hope : he hit john with the fireplace poker ? theresa : yes . abe : yeah , about that ... we -- we lifted two sets of prints off that poker . now we know who they belong to . one set of prints belong to brady . there 's no surprise there . hope : but the other print -- that belonged to victor . theresa : well , for god sakes , it 's his house . i mean , his prints are all over everything . that makes perfect sense . hope : well , in a way . theresa : sorry ? abe : the print we lifted off of the poker was a single print ... just a partial . hope : yeah ... theresa : okay . hope : which leads us to believe that someone deliberately wiped the poker clean . abe : and that does n't jibe with what you told us last night . daniel : i wish i could give you something to hang on to . we 're running more tests , trying to determine what 's going on with john 's coma . probably the best thing for you to do is get some rest and -- brady : no , i - i ... i just want to know what 's going on . i want to know what happened . daniel : yeah . okay , well , i 'll check back later and see what i can find . brady : thanks , man . [ sniffles ] [ sighs ] i do n't understand . i never wanted this . how could i do this ? maybe that 's ... maybe that 's why i do n't remember because i 've turned into ... someone who could do this to their own father . theresa : for god sakes , what are you saying , that i wiped the poker clean ? abe : no , we 're just trying -- theresa : but somehow i left brady 's print on it , yeah ? hope : theresa , we need to -- theresa : i mean , for god sakes , have n't you guys ever heard of maids ? i mean , the place is a mansion . it 's got servants crawling out of the woodwork . they 're cleaning everything every day . abe : no , we -- look , we understand that , and it 's very possible that the poker was wiped down before the fight . hope : it 's just a little odd , that 's all . abe : and then there 's the position of the bodies . they could not have possibly been on the floor in exactly -- theresa : i mean , seriously , mr . carver , you really need to start writing things down , and then , hey , my aunt hope here -- she could be , like , your sidekick . hope : theresa . theresa : i mean ... [ scoffs ] i already told you i was just going to see if they were all right . hope : so naturally she moved them , abe . theresa : yes . i mean , since when did caring whether someone was dead or alive turn into a crime ? abe : no one 's saying that , theresa . hope : theresa , what 's confusing here is that you can only move them so much . abe : brady would 've had to have swung that poker with tremendous force . but the damage that john suffered just is n't possible if brady was standing that close . hope : that 's right . theresa : [ groans ] hope : so the bodies must have been moved quite a distance for them -- aiden : sorry if i 'm interrupting . hope : what are you doing here ? aiden : i got a call from -- theresa : from me . yeah . i hired him . eve : jenn , being rude like that does not accomplish anything . jennifer : are you kidding me right now ? did you really just walk into my house ? eve : well , i was just wondering if maybe we could just be a little bit more adult today . jennifer : oh , well , i 'm just wondering how long it will take for the police to get here . eve : oh , well , great . well , why do n't you call 'em ? let 's see how fast they can get here , and when they do get here , we 'll have your daughter brought up on assault and battery . jennifer : excuse me ? well , then they 'll have to charge you too , because from what i heard , she was provoked . and you gave as good as you got . and for your information , my daughter has been very stressed out lately . so , if you could just give her a break -- eve : oh , well , boo - hoo . that gives her a right to hit people ? i mean , you really need to be more reasonable , jenn . jennifer : no , you need to be reasonable , because i made you a deal -- 50 % of everything ... eve : what ? jennifer : and you did n't want it . you 're not satisfied because you want a fight . well , congratulations . you just got one . eve : [ scoffs ] when your baby is ready to explore the world , eve : you know , jenn , i do n't want a fight , and i get it . i - i know . you 're angry with me . jennifer : oh , really ? you think ? eve : yeah , and that 's why you 're not listening to what i 'm saying . and i know , apparently , you 're happy with the movie rights going to that so - called `` reputable `` producer . jennifer : right , because he is going to protect jack 's material . eve : well , he might . but there are other producers out there that would do exactly the same and -- and pay more for the privilege . jennifer : oh , i see . eve : why do you want to dump jack 's book for a penance ? you know that he cared about the veterans . that 's all he cared about . jennifer : do n't you pretend you know what jack would 've wanted . you want your hands on more money , and that 's -- eve : okay , you know what ? you 're right . i do want what 's coming to me , but i 'm also look -- jenn , i 'm also looking out for your son and my daughter . jennifer : excuse me ? eve : right . i mean , do you really want them going at each other just because we 're having a little squabble ? jennifer : oh , my goodness . you are going to use our children as a pawn to get what you want ? get out of my house ... eve : what ? jennifer : right now . eve : jenn ! jennifer : get out of my house ! eve : stop manhandling me . jennifer : i made you a deal . eve : i just thought that we could talk about this . you 're not being very ladylike . jennifer : and guess what . you 're not getting a penny or a cent . eve : what , jenn ? jennifer : get out of my house ! eve : jenn , stop it ! jenn , you 're being unreason -- oh , you locked it ! you bitch .

[ knock at door ] hope : theresa , you thought you needed a lawyer ? theresa : no , it 's for brady . with all this talk about fingerprints and moving bodies , you guys are clearly trying to build a case , after i told you that it was self - defense . hey , just so you know , i tried to hire brady 's cousin justin kiriakis , but he 's , like , in dubai or something . aiden : understood . theresa : but you came up really quickly . you seem to be on everybody 's short list . aiden : that 's good to know . theresa : i just want to make sure that i 'm protecting my husband 's interests , that 's all . aiden : of course . hope : wait a minute . your husband ? brady : what 's going on ? theresa : oh , good . you 're here . say hello to aiden jennings . he 'll do the talking from now on . hope : brady , we 're just trying to put things together , make sense of what happened -- theresa : they 're trying to make sure that you get arrested . brady : no , no , no . hold it . hold it . hold it . hold it . i do n't want a lawyer . i do n't need a lawyer . if you have any questions , i will answer them . this whole thing is my fault . theresa : brady -- brady : i 'm not running away from this . stop . i 'm guilty . theresa : look , brady , do n't say stuff like that . it 's not -- it 's not true . aiden : whatever the situation , never a good idea talking to the police without a lawyer . brady : hey , thank you . listen , i 'm good . thanks for coming . i do n't need you . aiden : your call . abe : look , why do n't we all have a seat over here ? brady : yeah . theresa : hey , um , listen , thank you for coming . i really appreciate it , and , um , just do n't -- do n't turn your cell phone off , okay ? aiden : i have some other clients to see in the hospital , so i - i wo n't be far , okay ? theresa : thanks . aiden : all right . brady : seriously , i - i want this cleared up as much as you do , so ask away . theresa : no , brady -- hope : wait . theresa , excuse me . it 's best we talked to brady alone . why do n't you go wait over there ? theresa : but i -- no , i just -- i 'm the only witness , remember ? i mean , i do n't want you to just sit here and put words into brady 's mouth . brady : listen ! hey ! stop . i 'm good . go to the waiting room , okay ? please . theresa : [ scoffs ] brady : all right , so listen ... listen , i want to help . i do n't remember anything . my memory is a blank . abe : look ... from the get - go , theresa is saying you acted in self - defense . now , she repeated that this morning . hope : brady , you 're not saying anything . does that mean you have your doubts and that theresa has it wrong ? brady : yeah . theresa : do n't do anything stupid , brady , okay ? you -- you did n't do anything wrong . eve : who did n't do anything wrong ? theresa : what the hell are you doing here , eve ? eve : well , i had an appointment , you know , about my throat surgery , but the doctor 's in chicago , and , of course , nobody called to even tell me about it . i 'll just add that to my peachy encounter with jenn this morning . of course , your warm , little greeting here 's just the perfect start to a perfect ... theresa : [ groans ] eve : day . what -- do n't get any coffee on your tacky dress . honey , hey . hey . what 's going on ? look at me . what 's wrong ? you 're pale . you 've got dark circles under your eyes . theresa : you know what ? i 've been here all night , eve , okay ? eve : oh , my god . what have you done now ? eric : do you have a minute ? nicole : i , uh ... sure . come on in . so what do you want ? eric : i need to ask a favor . nicole : okay . eric : it 's about sami . nicole : oh , my favorite subject . that sami 's taken over dimera enterprises -- is that it ? eric : yes and no . you 're gon na hear a lot of negative comments about her . you probably already have . nicole : oh , we are talking about sami . eric : well , the thing is , it could start to snowball -- everyone piling on . what i 'm asking is , is that you do n't make it worse . nicole : sorry ? eric : you have news to report , and i get that . i just ... i just want you to show some restraint . i know you two do n't care for each other , but she has children . nicole : right . eric : i take it as a ... nicole : as what ? eric : as a personal favor . nicole : yeah , okay . you know i 'd do anything for you . eric : thank you . nicole : you look tired . you want to sit ? eric : no , i 'm gon na get going . nicole : eric , wait . please . vo : sadly , angela 's gotten used to the odor her cat leaves in the couch , eric : what ? what , nicole ? what ? nicole : well , you came all the way over here . so , i mean , why rush off ? eric : i asked a favor . you said yes , and i 'm done . nicole : well , maybe i 'm not . look , the fact that you came all the way over here , even if it was just for a favor , it 's something , at least it is to me . it 's kind of like a baby step . i can hope . one baby step here , one baby step there . eric : nicole , really ? nicole : seriously ... how many homilies did you give on hope ? and what , now it 's wrong ? it 's wrong to hope that maybe someday we could be friends again ? look , i know you 're tired of hearing it . but if one of us does n't push , then it 's never gon na happen . look , just this morning i was on the phone with daniel , saying , `` you know what ? maybe we should just get some coffee together . `` eric : did he say yes ? did he ? nicole : no , not in so many words . eric : i 'm sure it was one word ... `` no . `` jennifer : oh , my gosh . i was just calling you . aiden : hey , what 's going on ? what 's up ? jennifer : okay , do you remember when i said i was gon na sit down with eve one- on - one and try to hammer out a deal ? aiden : yeah , yeah . here , sit down . jennifer : okay , well , this is the deal . you are going to hammer her . she does not get one penny , not one cent , aiden . aiden : wow . sounds like someone 's ready for a fight . jennifer : oh , i 'm ready to fight if you 're ready . aiden : definitely am . like i said , when i looked at that annulment document , i felt i have a really good shot at getting it thrown out , but what happened ? what happened with eve ? jennifer : let 's just put it this way . there are some people that you can always count on to do the wrong thing . theresa : what the hell , eve ? i mean , why does everyone always assume that i 'm doing something wrong ? eve : well , it 's because it 's what you do . theresa : i 've had a really rough morning , okay ? and a hell of a night . and right now i 'm just really worried about my husband , who -- eve : oh , wait , wait . back it up here . hus -- husband ? theresa : yes , brady black , and he 's terrific , okay ? do n't -- do n't tell dad , please . eve : well , sorry , but i am your sort of sister , and that is kind of family news , right ? theresa : yeah , but just do n't say anything yet . please , eve , i -- look , it was last night . it was kind of an impulse thing , and i -- eve : oh , my god . do n't tell me . you put your husband in the hospital on his wedding night ? what , did you snag some old geezer and have so much sex ... theresa : oh , my god . eve : that you gave him a heart attack ? [ laughing ] is that what you did ? theresa : no , eve ! i just -- look , it was n't my husband , okay ? it was his father . there was this ... horrible fight . i mean , it was an accident , really . it was an accident , and -- eve : oh , my god . how many accidents do you have a month ? okay , i 'm gon na repeat this . what did you do ? theresa : [ crying ] seriously , eve ... [ sniffles ] i could just really use some support right now , maybe a little help . but you know what ? you always -- you always have to cut me down . just get the hell out of here , all right ? just -- no , just get out . i do n't want to -- no , get the hell out of here ! eve : come on , now . theresa : look , i did n't do anything . i ... [ sighs ] i did n't do anything wrong . that 's how it 's gon na stay . brady : i was drunk ... last night . i was deep down drunk . there 's no way to know what i wanted to do or what i meant to do . [ sighs ] no judgment whatsoever . hope : henderson said he could hear yelling , even from the servants ' rooms . abe : you know , maybe the two of you were mixing it up ... and it was n't necessarily self - defense . brady : [ stammers ] look , i know that 's what theresa said . i just -- i do n't know if it was self - defense or -- hope : brady ... you married theresa last night , but you 're not wearing your wedding ring . abe : you think you and john were fighting about theresa ? brady : maybe . hope : daniel ... any word ? brady : just -- just say it . daniel : well , your father 's physical condition has been upgraded from critical to stable . brady : oh , thank god . daniel : but he has slipped deeper into a coma . brady : i do n't -- '' deeper `` ? i do n't understand . daniel : if it were a medically induced coma , essentially , the doctors are in control , and we could bring him back at any moment . but this is different , and john ... well , john has gone deeper , and , uh ... brady : and you ca n't bring him back ? daniel : we are not in control . brady : what are you -- what are you saying ? daniel : we do n't know if he 'll ever wake up . eric : it 's written in your eyes , nicole . daniel said , `` no . `` nicole : and what , that makes you happy ? you get to kick me one more time ? eric : you know me better than that . and i think it 's time that you faced the truth . you lied to daniel . he trusted you to do the right thing , and you used him . and now you think you can just casually say , `` hey , let 's go grab some coffee , `` and all is forgiven ? it does n't work that way . nicole : fine ! i get it ! i was an idiot . and how dare i ask for forgiveness ? my life is a disaster on two feet , and it should stay that way forever because i 'm worthless , right ? right ? daniel : brady , i want to stay positive . i really do . but as of now , it 's really up to john . his brain needs time to heal . look , it 's like a computer . it shuts down to save energy . it goes into safe mode . and the brain can heal . and if it does , we 're going somewhere . if not .. brady : if not -- i - i got it . if we 're done -- abe : yeah , sure . go see your dad . brady : thanks , man . daniel : yeah , hang in there . okay , fyi , i 'm handing john 's case off to the staff . hope : you got him through the surgery . daniel : i did . he just needs long - term care right now . abe : yeah , thanks for everything , man . daniel : no , no , you bet . it 's -- you know , it 's been a long night , so i 'm gon na swing by the pub and get something to eat , okay ? maxine : and then you 'll go home and get some rest , right ? daniel : uh , no . i will come back here and do my rounds . hope : take care . daniel : all right , i 'll see you later . hope : bye . i 'll make some notes . abe : yeah . right . yeah , things are pretty vague , but , hey ... hope : hey , listen , when brady said -- theresa : [ sighs ] [ sighs ] i ca n't stand this . i -- daniel : [ sighs ] eve : daniel ? [ laughs ] i did n't know that you were gon na be here . wow . hope : you 're back . i thought brady said he did n't need a lawyer . aiden : well , i have a few other clients to see here in the hospital today . hope : oh . aiden : yeah . so my , uh , message box has been filled with compliments about the -- the gala . hope : yeah , uh , mine too . aiden : it was a very good night for us ... and for the gala . theresa : ugh , for pete 's sake , do i get a rest ? abe : i am just trying to get a handle on what 's going on . this is not a witch- hunt . theresa : oh , well , you could 've fooled me . i mean , what , do you think i 'm just making this up ? look , i know what i saw . brady was just defending himself . aiden : okay , folks , i 'm going to insist that if there are any more questions that they be asked in a formal setting in my presence , okay ? theresa : thank you . abe : yeah . theresa : now , uh , w - where 's brady now ? hope : theresa , i am sure no one meant to make you feel uncomfortable . abe : brady 's in with his dad . theresa : well , then that 's where i should be , with my husband . mr. jennings ? thank you . i mean , they know i 'm just way too upset . i ca n't -- i ca n't think straight . i mean , they 're trying to put words in my mouth . aiden : okay , look , they put a pin in it for now , but if you need me , call , okay ? theresa : thank you . aiden : yeah . john : [ groans ] theresa : [ breathes shakily ] brady ... how 's he doing ? brady : answer me a question first . theresa : okay . brady : i know what you said about what happened last night . but what i need to know is ... were you lying ? so , duke , what do you think of our new bush 's baked beans video game ? hope : theresa seems , uh ... pretty jumpy , huh ? abe : you know , there are really only three alternatives . `` a , `` she 's telling the truth . `` b , `` she 's lying to protect brady . hope : and trying to cover things up , making sure he ca n't be charged . abe : or `` c `` ... hope : she did it herself . well , that 's a stretch ... right ? abe : forensics is telling us that there 's nothing to contradict what she 's saying . the trouble is ... theresa 's the one saying it . hope : yeah . but , you know , i can see why she 's so jumpy , though . if she does anything , anything at all that breaks the terms of her probation , going back to l.a. means going to prison for her . abe : you know she 's not gon na change her story . so we just have to wait for brady or john to fill in the blanks . hope : only john is in a coma , and brady has no memory . theresa : `` lying `` ? [ scoffs ] seriously , brady ? i mean , you think i would lie about something like this ? brady : theresa , listen , yeah , yeah , i do . i think you would to protect me . so i need to know , were you lying ? tell me . theresa : no , brady , listen to me . okay , listen ... look , i swear you did n't do anything wrong , okay ? john was ... he was attacking you , and i saw it . and you were just defending yourself . i mean , look , come on , i know that you feel bad about what happened , but no one 's going to blame you for doing what you had to do , okay ? you understand that , right ? brady : you know what i need ? theresa : yeah , you need some rest . brady : no , what i need -- i need a meeting . i need a meeting . marlena should be back in a little while , and it 's probably best i 'm not here when she gets here . theresa : a meeting ? brady : yeah , things , uh ... things need to change for me . theresa : okay . okay , look , i 'll just go with you . hope : uh ... it 's hard to know what to say to you ... i mean if you might be representing brady or theresa . aiden : well , if it becomes official , i 'll speak up . hope : uh , last night , um ... at the gala , the way i took off with ciara -- aiden : hey ... no problem . you know , we still have to get together , do a write- up about how the evening went , maybe make some suggestions for next year , but i can do that myself . hope : well , i can handle that ... on my own . maxine : brady 's a mess , ca n't remember a thing . and his dad -- honey , that man is in deep trouble . jennifer : daniel was the surgeon ? maxine : oh , yeah . otherwise , mr. black would n't even be alive . and guess what . he 's going over to the pub to get something to eat . then he 's coming back to make rounds . jennifer : i know . he drives himself too hard . maxine : it 's probably because he 's lonely . eve : so you sure it 's all right if i join you here ? daniel : ah , of course . eve : thank you . [ both chuckle ] eve : well , i mean , look at you . you 're looking a little tired there , my friend . daniel : yeah , well ... eve : did you have an early call ? daniel : no , no , no , more like an all - nighter , you know , an emergency . managed to save the patient . just a -- it 's a tough situation , though . yeah . what ? what is it ? eve : i hate to pry , but that emergency did n't have anything to do with my little sister , theresa , did it ? daniel : yeah , i ca n't really talk about the case . eve : okay , i get it . i get it . just , i ... i saw her earlier , and i do n't know . i just -- what can i say ? trouble just seems to follow that girl around . daniel : oh , yeah , i hear you . i hear you . eve : i mean , i know i 'm no saint , but theresa -- whoo - hoo - hoo - hoo - hoo . daddy asked me to check in on her , but i 'm telling you , that is one tough job . daniel : yeah , well , i 'm sure you 're doing the best you can . eric : i 'm not sure what i 'm supposed to say to that , nicole . after what you did ... nicole : after what i did ? what i did , i did because i loved you and you loved me , remember ? or did you forget about that ? okay , you know what ? i - i was weak ... too weak because i was afraid to lose you , so i lied . i lied , and i -- and i fought , and i did anything i could . what , now i 'm this horrible person , right , who 's not worth a minute of your time ? until you need a favor . aiden : i 'm sorry . hope : no , i 'm sorry . aiden : you know , i just assumed that -- hope : exactly . you ... because of this case , we probably should n't be having private meetings or actually , um ... anything else that could be misconstrued . aiden : okay . okay , i 'll do the post - gala stuff on my own , so ... hope : thank you . aiden : you 're welcome . i got to go . okay . brady : i 'm gon na hit that meeting alone . there 's lots of things i need to get a handle on . theresa : oh . okay . brady : we 'll , uh , we 'll talk about the marriage later . but i do n't want to be late for the meeting , so we 'll deal with that later . theresa : yeah , it 's no problem . i hope it helps . brady : it has to . it better ... 'cause i need to make some changes . theresa : hey , um ... about your dad , did they say -- brady : the doctors ran more tests , theresa . they said he 's in ... a deeper coma ... maybe permanent .

marah : i wish marina did n't have to go to class . michelle : yeah , thanks . me , too . three heads are definitely better than two , right ? marah : well , especially when it comes to trying to figure out this mystery that carrie 's decided to dump on us . michelle : well , at least she gave us something concrete to go on the last time she deigned to appear before us . marah : it 's pretty frustrating , is n't it ? michelle : yeah , just a little . so , all right , carrie finally tells us when maryanne caruthers died , or how she died , which is , she got into the car with the wrong people and the car went off a bridge . do you know how many bridges there are in springfield , marah ? marah : do you want to quit ? you just want to forget about the whole thing ? michelle : do you ? marah : yes and no . i hate to think that my father is lying to me about anything , but if he is ... michelle : but maybe he had good reason . marah : yeah . and on the other hand , if carrie is telling us the truth and some young woman died in this town and nobody seems to remember to care , i think that 's awful . i would n't want that to happen to me or anybody that i loved . michelle : yeah . me , either . all right , you fire up the computer , i 'm going to get us something to eat from the kitchen , and then we are going to find out when and how this maryanne caruthers disappeared . marah : deal . bill : okay , guys , come on , these slogans are garbage . we 've got to come up with something better , all right ? danny : something that tells it like it is . tony : `` no more cement shoes . `` danny : aha . tony : okay . `` vote for me , it 's an offer that you ca n't refuse `` ? bill : all right , tony . come on , stop it . tony : no , i 'm serious . i 'm serious , bill . i mean , what about the old days ? why ca n't it be like then , when we could buy an election ? you know what i mean ? bill : do me a favor , never say that in public , okay ? danny : wait , wait , wait , wait , wait , bill . hold on , maybe tony 's on to something . i mean , with all these ideas , we 've been trying to downplay my past , right ? we ca n't do that , so what if , instead of ignoring it , we address it ? tony : yeah . bill : well , what do you mean ? how ? danny : i do n't know , i do n't know . um ... what about something like , `` danny santos -- no excuses , `` right ? that says that i definitely have a past , but i 'm not trying to shirk it . what do you think ? tony : yeah . uh , well , i 'm not sure . maybe you can end it with , `` no way , `` you know ? bill : no , wait , wait , wait , wait . danny , danny , danny , i think you 're on the right track . except you 're just not saying enough . `` danny santos -- no excuses . `` i mean , you 've got the past and the present implied , but what about the future ? danny : right . the future is definitely where the focus should be . bill : right , right . all right , how about this ? how about , `` danny santos -- no excuses , move on . `` something along those lines . danny : no , i like it . i like it . eden : whoa , it looks like a tornado came through here . do n't just stand there . help me clean up . danny : why ? bill : um ... eden : and you , you comb your hair and put on a tie . bill : honey , we 're in the middle of something . we 'll do that later , okay ? eden : no , that is not okay . do the names daggert and hodge ring a bell for any of you ? bill : what , jim hodge , george daggert ? yeah , they 're the two biggest political poo - bahs in this town . tony : what ? bill : king - makers . danny : yeah , if daggert and hodge put their weight behind a candidate in springfield , he 's almost guaranteed to win . what about them ? eden : they 're going to be here in ten minutes , so let 's go . harley : what if it turned out that , you know , while you were at spaulding , that things maybe were n't as they should be ? alan : gus , what ... what are you doing with that file ? brad : i know what you 're up to . harley : um , trying to rack this weight if you would let me . brad : you did n't just happen to show up here today . you planned this little meeting , and i know why . jeffrey : just stay cool , cooper . harley : i did n't plan anything . i do n't know what you 're talking about . jeffrey : stay very cool . brad : someone has put you up to this . harley : i 'm just here to pump iron , brad . brad : you 're here to pump me for information . harley : look , if you would just let go of the bar , i could explain to you what ... brad : let go ? are you sure ? harley : um , okay , look , i do n't know what 's going on here . i thought we were supposed to be friends . i mean , who cleared your name ? who cleared you of a potential murder rap , and you sit here accusing me of i do n't even know what ? brad : all right . i 'm not saying it was your idea , but you are a part of it . harley : a part of what ? brad : somebody is out to get me , and i think we both know who that is . harley : somebody is out to get you ? who ? brad : oh , who do you think ? your boyfriend -- aitoro . harley : gus ? brad : you 're doing his dirty work , and he 's doing dear old dad 's . harley : alan ? brad : `` how 's work , brad ? `` `` it must be very stressful , brad . `` alan does n't think i can cut it anymore , does he ? of all the ungrateful ... i busted my hump for him in paris , 16-hour days , seven days a week . i come here to springfield and get embroiled in this lori mess . harley : brad ? brad , could you ... ? brad : my marriage falls apart . my wife decides to blackmail me . but did i miss a single conference call , a single meeting ? no . harley : could you just ... brad : and finally , finally , i decide to take an hour off to come here to the gym so i wo n't have a heart attack , for god 's sakes , so i 'll have the energy to work even harder , and alan is questioning my loyalty , my ability to get the job done ? harley : what is this ? you think that i 'm doing alan 's bidding ? please ! after the way he treated me when i was married to phillip ? look , you ask anybody . i would n't work for alan spaulding if i was starving . now , would you get this off of me ? ! brad : oh , all right . harley : ( sighs ) thank you . brad : sorry . harley : wow ! i know better than to bring up work to you . look , i know ... i know what you 're up against here , okay ? i know everything with marie and now alan is obviously pressuring you at the office . you 're a little tense . brad : yeah . just a little . harley : was that a smile ? brad : i have n't been doing much of that lately , have i ? harley : well ... you 're an okay guy , brad . more than okay . really . brad : for a serial adulterer ? harley : hey , you 've admitted your mistakes and you 're trying to rectify them , right ? you 've forgiven your wife , and i 'm not sure i agree with that 100 % . you 're giving 200 % at work , right ? talk about commitment . talk about loyalty . i mean , my gosh , if alan spaulding does n't appreciate you as somebody valuable on his team , i think that man is a fool . gus : it 's yours . i just ... i was looking for something else , and i came across it . i did n't open it . alan : mm - hmm . why not ? gus : well , because it says `` a. spaulding eyes only . `` i mean , it 's confidential , so . alan : well , so it has . you know , gus , i did n't bring you into this company to keep things from you . i 've told all of my employees that you are to have access to all information , carte blanche . gus : carte blanche , eh ? alan : yes . gus : well , how will all the other little executives feel about that , then ? alan : i really do n't care , because the name of this company is spaulding . and you are a spaulding . so , you can read all the files to your heart 's content . alexandra : well , is n't this just swell ? gus : well , hello , auntie . alexandra : well , i see alan 's managed to weave you into our nasty little web . gus : hmm . believe me , i tried to resist , but he gave me the key to the executive washroom . i mean ... alexandra : ah ! that did it , huh ? gus : yes . that and the idea of working with you , my favorite auntie . i 'm going down to the pharmaceutical division . you need me , you just buzz me , okay ? i 'm going to bone up on all the information . alexandra : gus ? my file , please . danny : how 'd you get daggert and hodge to agree to a meeting ? bill : yeah , i 've been trying to set up something with them for days . eden : i know . you told me at breakfast , remember ? so , imagine my surprise when i went into eichorn 's pharmacy this morning to see how bad girl was doing . mr. eichorn was more than happy to tell me about the sales figures and how local prominent ladies are buying it , including nancy daggert and leona hodge . so , of course , i just had to call nan and lee and introduce myself and offer them complimentary beauty consultation and freebie baskets of bad girl samples . bill : is this woman incredible or what , hmm ? eden : and then i just had to mention my sweetheart of a boyfriend is danny santos ' campaign manager and how wonderful danny would be as mayor and how great it would be for nan and lee 's hubbies , george and jimmy , to meet him at some point . and the rest is history . danny : that must be some perfume . bill : yeah . that is good work , darling . eden : i know . ( knock on door ) danny : okay , that must be them . is everybody ready ? tony : yeah , go ahead . bill : we 're good . we 're clean . eden : wait , wait , wait . here , got it . bill : go get them . danny : ross . ross : hi . danny : hi . ross : we are a few minutes early . i hope that wo n't be a problem . danny : `` we `` ?

bill lewis , danny 's campaign manager . danny : i was n't told you 'd be joining us , ross . ross : well , george and jim asked me to come along . danny : you three are friends ? ross : yes , we are . i 'm also their attorney . michelle : all right , so we should concentrate on these three bridges here and then eliminate the others . marah : why these three ? michelle : well , they span main roads , and i do n't know , the way carrie described the accident , maryanne 's car seemed to be going really fast when it went off the bridge . marah : which would be difficult to do on a long , winding , narrow back road . michelle : but not impossible . at least it gives us a starting point , right ? carrie : hmm . all this salt and fat , it 's delicious . how do you girls keep your figures ? marah : you think we should put a bell around her neck ? michelle : i thought that you were going to leave us to sleuth on our own . carrie : oh , i 'll be delighted to leave you to your own devices . michelle : uh - uh . no , no , no , no . just tell us if we 're on the right track . carrie : well , you 've already narrowed it down to three bridges . two of them can be quite easily eliminated . marah : they can , why ? carrie : zoom in . look at the photographs . michelle : `` zoom in `` ? i thought you hated technology . carrie : oh , i do . but sometimes the nastiest things are necessary . there . now , look at that first photograph , what do you see ? marah : i see ... i do n't see anything . i see a narrow bridge with two lanes ... michelle : no , no , marah , zoom in more . zoom in more . like ... and focus . see that bronze plaque right there ? focus in on that . there . marah : `` there , `` what ? michelle : `` built in 1990 . `` so this bridge did n't even exist when maryanne died . carrie : exactly . now , look at the photograph of the other bridge . michelle : is there going to be a plaque on that one , too ? marah : does n't matter . does n't matter when this bridge was built . the problem is the concrete abutments on either side of it . michelle : abutments ? marah : sorry . my family 's in construction . sue me . michelle : okay , what about the abutments ? marah : okay , well , look how big and solid they are . there 's no way a car could crash through them . michelle : wow , you 're right . so that leaves us with the third bridge , cutters bridge . carrie : i think you may be exactly right . michelle : so that 's it . okay , what 's next ? carrie : well , how many times have i told you ? you 've simply got to connect the dots . michelle : `` connect the dots . `` i would like to connect her dots . carrie : now , now . temper , temper . marah : okay . okay , every fatal accident has to be reported , right ? i think by law it has to be recorded , so it would be recorded somewhere . michelle : right , with the police . with the police . there has to be an accident record on file . marah : all right , but i 'm sure it 's confidential , and they 're not just going to let some random people come in off the street and go look at their files , right ? michelle : probably not . marah : all right , so how are we going to get around that ? how are we going to be able to see these official police records ? michelle : marina . harley : you know , brad , the way that you have chosen to forgive marie , the way that you 're standing by her , not a lot of men could do that . brad : there are n't a lot of men who would screw up like i did in the first place . believe me , i wronged her far more than she has ever wronged me . if marie forgives me , that 'll be the miracle . harley : is that the goal here ? brad : well , we 're trying to work on the marriage , but it 's not going to do much good if marie ends up in prison , which is exactly what 'll happen if o'neill decides that i have to testify against her . harley : well , i 'm sure your lawyer 's told you this already , but a man can not be forced to testify against his wife in court . brad : o'neill has made it perfectly clear to me that if i do not testify , he will drag me through the mud right along with her . now , i do n't care for my sake . it 's my children i 'm concerned about . i mean , i 've tried my very best to prevent them from hearing all this stuff about their mother and me , but if it 's made part of the public record ... harley : oh , god . jeffrey o'neill is such a swine . he really is . the man is so arrogant and so self - absorbed . brad : i thought the two of you got along . harley : well , when we have to -- in public . but you know , there are ways around jeffrey o'neill . brad : what do you mean ? harley : i mean , my brother happens to be the chief of police , and i happen to have a few friends of my own at city hall from my years on the force . i could ... well , maybe i could call in a few favors and see if i could get the charges dropped against your wife . brad : dismiss the case ? are you serious ? harley : i ca n't promise anything , but i can try , brad . brad : if you could do that for me , if you could make this entire thing go away , i would be grateful beyond words . harley : i 'll give it a shot . alan : your file , alexandra ? alexandra : yes , alan , my dear . i mean , the pharmaceutical and cosmetics divisions are my bailiwick , and that file is particularly labeled `` a. spaulding . `` alan : hmm , well , may i remind you that i am also a. spaulding , and as acting ceo of the company , i have jurisdiction over every division . alexandra : all the more reason why you should be very concerned about just anyone seeing sensitive material , dear . nothing personal , of course , gus . gus : no , nothing personal . well , what would you call it , alexandra ? alexandra : oh , i just find it rather disturbing that alan 's been so quick to make room for you . do n't you ? gus : no , i do n't think that at all . alan wanted it , and also , phillip wanted it . alexandra : really ? gus : oh , yes , really . see , i think that phillip wanted somebody here to protect his interest , to make sure that nothing was magically reversed , all of his hard work and everything . and believe me , he did n't trust you to do that . alexandra : and you 're all right with this , alan ? alan : yes , perfectly . gus : you know what , alexandra ? do yourself a favor . just consider me the caretaker , okay ? i 'm just a seat - warmer for phillip , until he gets back , all right ? alexandra : right , right . i 'll gladly look at you that way , my dear , though i do n't think alan will . look around you . it seems to me that alan , your father , has removed every trace of phillip as the ceo . and very shortly he will be reorganizing spaulding into his very own image -- everything about spaulding , including you , darling . marina : hey , hey ! did you miss me ? cop : marina ! what brings you down to the black hole ? marina : oh , i 'm doing a project for school . dad said i could look through some of the old files . well , he did n't tell you that ? yeah , he is so spaced out these days . i guess that 's what love will do to you , though , huh ? cop : this is a restricted area , hon . i ca n't let anyone in here without permission . marina : what , not even the chief of police 's daughter ? come on , it 's not like i 'm going to take anything out . okay , just call my dad . i mean , he 's having lunch with darci , but i 'm sure he wo n't mind ... cop : no , no , no , it 's all right . you can come in . marina : thank you . you 're a doll . oh , do n't mind them . these are just my study partners . now , where do you keep the accident reports ? cop : uh ... bill : ross , it 's just a meet and greet . i do n't see the reason for counsel . ross : well , bill , i 'm just here in an advisory capacity . bill : advisory ? regarding what ? tony : how close they can get to a santos without looking dirty . bill : ( clears throat ) tony : i 'll keep my mouth shut . danny : no , i think my cousin hit the nail on the head , gentlemen . you have questions about me , personally , about my campaign , my connections . let 's hear them . why do n't we do this the right way ? cigars ? danny : okay , guys , look . you 've asked us a lot of questions and we 've answered them . bill : yeah , thoroughly . danny : beyond that , i do n't know what else i can tell you . ross : danny , um ... george and jim need assurances . they need assurances that you have severed all ties with your past . danny : and i 've assured them , ross . ross : verbally you have , yes . but they need something a bit more concrete . danny : i see where this is going now . you want me to turn my back on my cousin . ross : danny , this is awkward for all of us , and believe me , nobody is telling you how to run your personal life . danny : glad to hear it , ross . ross : but governing a city -- and you know this -- it involves a public trust . danny : ross , whatever information your clients are operating on , it 's out of date . daggert : how 's that ? danny : tony turned over a new leaf the exact same time i did . before , actually . hodge : is that a fact ? danny : yeah , it 's a fact . tony no longer has any ties to organized crime . he left that life behind along with the violence that goes with it . daggert : except when he 's raging drunk and picks a fight in a bar with some guy . hodge : olivia 's , a couple of months back ? pretty blonde lady ? you hit on her , you got into it with her boyfriend . stop me when this sounds familiar . tony : so you 've had someone tailing me , huh ? daggert : no . we know a lot of people . hodge : everywhere . your cousin 's a hothead , danny . tony : first of all , get your story straight , man . all right ? danny , listen to me . i was going through some things with marah , okay ? yeah , i got drunk , i let off some steam , it happens . it 's no big deal . it happens . daggert : it happens to people like you , not everyone else . danny : guys , come on . you heard him . he had a fight with his girlfriend . he was upset ... tony : no , no , no , no . you know what , danny ? these guys are right . i 'll tell you what . i 've told you from the beginning i would be a liability , so what i will do for you guys , i will step down . danny : no , you wo n't . tony : no , i will . you do n't need me . danny : yes , i do . tony : you do n't need me , okay ? danny : i do . you stay right here . let me see if i get this straight : you guys come in here and you grill me on my character and my ethics . you want to know that you can trust me and the only way that i can prove that to you is by telling my own cousin to take a hike ? is that it ? well , if that 's the extent of your political wisdom , gentlemen , you can take it -- along with those expensive cigars i just gave you -- and shove it up your ... bill : danny . hodge : you 've got some solid ideas , danny . danny : thank you . daggert : we really appreciate where you 're coming from . hodge : so we 'll be in touch . danny : okay , sounds good . thanks again for stopping bye . ross , thanks . ross : take care . bill : whoo ! now i know what it feels like to be dragged over hot coals . eden : you did a wonderful job , honey . danny : maybe i 'm not cut out for politics after all . bill : wait a minute , danny . do n't say that , okay ? they liked you , and i think they 're going to back you , i do . danny : yeah , maybe they will . ross is another story . eden : i got a really negative vibe from him . i wonder what 's up . danny : i 'm not sure . tony : yeah , well , whatever . it 's his loss . danny : no , tony , it could mean my loss . ross speaks for a whole part of springfield that i might never win over , no matter how hard i try . alan : you know , alexandra , there 's only one flaw to your logic , because if i were as cunning and deceitful as you suspect , when i took over for phillip i would have reclaimed my office and kicked you out on your ear . alexandra : oh , well , who says the purge is over ? alan : there is no purge and there never will be . this is a family business and the spauldings stick together no matter what . alexandra : oh , gus , tell me you 're not buying this bunk . gus : well , you know , from my personal experience , i find al to be nothing but a loyal guy . it 's some other people in the immediate vicinity that have problems with ... alexandra : well , just save it , will you ? because i think i 've done my penance . gus : no , well , i think you 've made your share of mistakes . alexandra : recently ? gus : well , sure . alexandra : name one . gus : okay , no problem . how about keeping an embezzler on the payroll , for starters ? brad : did someone mention my name ? harley : testing . testing . damn , i 'm good ! am i good ? i mean , did you see me out there ? i played brad green , not like a fiddle -- oh , no , no , no -- i would say , like a stradivarius . would n't you say ? jeffrey : oh , yeah , you were just incredible . as a matter of fact , you were mind - bendingly brilliant . okay , is your ego massaged enough now so we can get down to business ? harley : is that sarcasm ? is that the da / fed feeling a little miffed that maybe i said some unkind things about him ? jeffrey : hey , whatever it takes to get the job done , right ? harley : that 's what i think . so , what 's with the attitude ? jeffrey : maybe i do n't like my operatives disobeying me . harley : i did n't disobey you . jeffrey : harley , i told you to flirt with the guy , okay ? and not to mention spaulding . what 's the first thing you do , straight out of the gate ? harley : well , look what happened . it worked . jackpot ! jeffrey : it was an accident . i do n't like accidents , even when they work in our favor . okay , next time you 're with brad green , you do things my way . do n't deviate from the script , you got it ? harley : you know what ? you do n't have half the experience that i have working undercover . you do n't know half of what i know about working a mark . jeffrey : well , you do n't know half of what you think you do . harley : i know what men want . jeffrey : do you ? and what do men want ? you think they want to talk about what 's going on at the office ? harley : i was sympathizing with him . i was ... i was building rapport . i was gaining his trust , like you said . look , unlike you , jeffrey , most men want more than just a little tumble with a woman . jeffrey : that is exactly what they do want , harley . okay ? they do n't want to talk , okay ? do you think that brad green wanted to talk with all those women he cheated on his wife with ? hmm ? harley : you know what i think ? i think that i read him perfectly and i played him perfectly . jeffrey : do you ? and you told him that i would drop the case . harley : yes . and if you were half as smart as you think you are , you would do just that . jeffrey : on what basis ? harley : on the basis that your evidence stinks ! jeffrey : well , i 've got marie green in front of a room full of people , including the two of us , confessing . harley : please , it 's entrapment . any half decent defense attorney is going to have that thing suppressed yesterday . and who is your witness ? your only real witness is brad . and even if you have him declared hostile , you still ca n't ... jeffrey : hmm . really ? harley : ... compel him to testify . you louse . you louse ! you were planning to drop those charges all along . alexandra : brad , brad , gus did n't mean it . brad : sure he did . if you have a bone to pick with me , detective aitoro , i suggest you do it to my face . alan : brad ... gus : no , it 's all right , alan . first of all , it 's detective aitoro , and i think it 's a great idea . let 's get it all out in the open , okay ? you go first . brad : all right . you thought me guilty of a great many things for some time now , and you 're only partially right . my mistakes have been moral , not criminal . alexandra : he was also a victim himself . let 's not forget that . brad : and all of the charges against me have been dropped . gus : all except the embezzling , which you did do but you were never charged for , and i do n't know how that happened . alexandra : well , i 'll tell you . he was in an extreme situation -- not only being accused of murder but also his own wife blackmailing him ? gus : hmm . alexandra : look , in a desperate moment , he did a foolish thing . gus : yeah . something very , very foolish . alexandra : yes , and he paid it back . brad : the very next day , for god 's sakes . alexandra : well , we thought he had suffered enough . gus : do you feel the same way , alan ? alan : yes . gus : oh , well , then , hey . i 'm sorry . if you guys can forgive and forget , then i 've got no problem with that . let me just say , i 'm looking forward to working with you , mr. green . how 's that ? brad : working ? alan : yes . you see , gus has taken a leave of absence from the force and is going to be helping us out during phillip 's absence . gus : i hope that 's okay , now that we 're letting bygones by bygones . brad : well , no , i have no problem with that . gus : great ! that 's great . because alan here has told me , what , the amazing work you have done , it 's incomprehensible . the whole pharmaceutical division is ... i 'm just going to do my homework now , you know , and read all ... read all about it . brad : are you going to read that file ? gus : yes , i 'm going to read this file . i 'm going to read those files and the other files . i 'm going to read everything i can get my hands on . marah : anything in that one ? michelle : nope . nothing on a car going off a bridge , nothing about maryanne caruthers , not even a jane doe . how about you ? marina ? marina : uh , wait . wait , yeah , yeah , yeah . i found something . okay , in 1980 , a car went off a bridge . oh . it landed upside down on a cornfield , the driver and his dog escaped unharmed . marah : yeah , i found one like that , too , except it was some woman taking her cat to the vet . marina : you guys , this is a complete waste of time . i mean , we have gone through every single accident report over the last decade , and what have we found ? nothing . michelle : exactly , exactly . we 've gone through every single accident report and what have we discovered ? marah : nothing . marina just said . michelle : nothing , right . marina : is there an echo in here ? michelle : a fatal accident occurred in this town and there 's no record of it in the police files . that 's what we need to focus on : why is there no record of maryanne 's death ? marina : uh , because it never happened ? michelle : or maybe it happened and someone does n't want anyone to know . harley : you know , you might have let me know what you were up to . jeffrey : i could n't . i could n't do that . then you would n't have been so convincing , okay ? as it is now , brad thinks that you got me to drop the charges , okay ? so he owes you and he trusts you . you should be happy . harley : happy that you played me ? jeffrey : happy that brad got what he wanted , happy that his little wifey - poo wo n't have to do time and that the kiddies will have mommy to bake them cookies and wo n't be wearing prison orange . there is only one problem , is that mel will be out a client . harley : whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa . how do you know that mel is representing the jensons -- unless you are still bugging my office ! jeffrey : come on , harley . you exhaust me . mel filed as attorney of record , okay ? the paperwork crossed my desk . any other questions ? harley : you can tell me where you get ... i 'm not going to do this . i 'm not going to stoop to your level . jeffrey : hey , terrier ? you did well today . harley : that 's a stupid code name . brad : that file 's confidential . gus : so what ? brad : confidential means confidential . gus : well , i 'm a detective . i think i can keep a secret . alan : brad , is there something specific in that file that you 're concerned about ? brad : ( laughs nervously ) no , i ... is gus going to have access to absolutely everything from this point on ? alan : carte blanche . brad : well , then , you 're the boss . alexandra : temporarily , until phillip 's better . brad : welcome to the team , gus . i 'll be happy to give you any help that i can . it 's the very least i can do , considering your fiancée 's been so wonderful to me . harley is a very special lady -- kind , compassionate , smart . and she 's got a hell of a body on her , too . gus : what now ? brad : oh , from a physical standpoint . i could n't help noticing when we were working out together earlier at the gym . yes , harley 's a special lady . bill : come on , come on , let 's get out of here . tony : look , danny , i take back what i said before . i like it . danny : no , tony , you were right . why should anyone believe a politician ? tony : yeah , but see , that 's the thing . you 're not a politician , danny . i mean , look at the way you stood up to those guys , you know ? for me . danny : does that mean i have your vote ? tony : not that it matters , you know ? i mean , not that anything matters once the other side declares and everything starts to fly . i mean , you just got a little taste of it today , danny . you know ? danny : yeah . it 's going to get ugly . tony : yeah . yeah , it is . i just wish it was like the old days when we knew who our enemies were , because now , this game , a knife in your back could come from anyone . rick : thanks , ross . i ... ross : yeah . rick : ... for taking the time to talk with me . i 'm just really worried about my dad . ross : well , i do n't know what to say , rick , because ed has seemed just fine to me lately . rick : not particularly agitated or moody or ... ? ross : ( laughs ) rick : i 'm sorry , what am i saying ? i mean , he 's never been mary sunshine , has he ? ross : you know , to be honest , i think he 's a little uncomfortable with the idea of danny running for mayor and the public scrutiny . maybe that 's what 's got him down . rick : how do you feel about that , ross ? about danny running for mayor ? ross : um , at the moment i 'm reserving judgment on that . what about you ? rick : i guess i 'm okay with it . i mean , i was n't in love with the idea , but you know what ? if michelle 's happy , i 'm happy . ross : honestly , i would n't worry about it , because once ed gets used to the idea of danny running for mayor , he 'll be fine , and you know , all he wants is for michelle to be happy and to have the uncomplicated life that she deserves . marah : michelle , i love conspiracy theories as much as the next person , but ... michelle : okay , i 'm not saying for sure that it 's a conspiracy . i mean , maybe there 's a perfectly good reason why maryanne 's accident is n't on record . or maybe ... maybe the accident never happened in the first place and carrie 's making the whole thing up , i do n't know . marah : no , she 's given us too much information for that . marina : yeah , information that has n't panned out yet . marah : okay , well , maybe we got the timeframe wrong . michelle : no , i do n't think so . i think maryanne lived and died right around the time that we think . wait . wait , that 's it . she died . marina : yeah , we know that , michelle . michelle : okay , but this is another way for us to get information , right ? where do people go when they die ? and i do n't mean metaphysically . marina : oh , no . you can not be serious . marah : no . michelle : mm - hmm . marah : the graveyard . michelle : mm - hmm . her body had to end up somewhere , right ? i mean , maybe she 's in our town cemetery , and there would be a headstone . marina : oh , this just keeps getting better . marah : you want us to go digging through a creepy , cold graveyard ? michelle : yup , tonight . marina : in the pitch dark ? oh , joy . michelle : look , i 'm not thrilled about it , either , but do we want to get to the bottom of this thing or not ? marah : okay . marina : yeah , okay . if there 's any digging to be done , you 're the one with the shovel . marah : ew . michelle : all right , so then we 're all in agreement . we 'll meet tonight , let 's say , what , after dinner ? at the graveyard . okay ? and we ca n't say a word about this to a soul , because remember , if we do , carrie 's going to disappear and then we 'll never find out what happened to maryanne caruthers . agreed ? marina : agreed . marah : agreed . alexandra : next , on guiding light : brad : what do you need to get started ? eden : a bikini , some sunblock , and i will need the spaulding corporate jet in the morning . marina : yeah , it was just ... just the wind . marah : right . marina : right . yeah . marah : ( screams ) carrie : the time has finally come . | marah and michelle figure out which bridge maryanne 's accident took place at . they go to the police station to look for the record of the accident but find nothing . they wonder why everyone is trying to cover it up . they plan a trip to the cemetery later to find her gravestone . tony , bill and , danny talk about volunteering information about danny 's past instead of ignoring it . eden arrives and says two political head are on the way over . the two political guys arrive with their attorney ross . danny hopes they will back him but they say the need more proof that his former life is done with . they tell him to turn his back on tony . danny say if that is what it will take for them to trust him then they can shove it . at the gym brad greene thinks harley is working for gus and alan but harley assures him she would never work for alan no matter what . brad believes her and lets the subject change to his wife 's case . harley says that she might be able to get the charges dropped and brad says if she could he would be forever grateful . jeffery and harley discuss this meeting later and jeffery tells her to follow his rules next time . gus is holding a confidential file debating on whether to look at it or not when alan walks in . gus says he did n't look at but alan says he is free to look at whatever he wants to . alexandra arrives and demand gus give her the file . before long brad greene also arrives and is n't to happy to hear about gus ' job at spaulding . he is concerned with the fact that gus has access to all the files but mostly the one in his hands . brad is sure to mention his time at the gym with harley to gus . | <s>[INST] marah : i wish marina did n't have to go to class . michelle : yeah , thanks . me , too . three heads are definitely better than two , right ? marah : well , especially when it comes to trying to figure out this mystery that carrie 's decided to dump on us . michelle : well , at least she gave us something concrete to go on the last time she deigned to appear before us . marah : it 's pretty frustrating , is n't it ? michelle : yeah , just a little . so , all right , carrie finally tells us when maryanne caruthers died , or how she died , which is , she got into the car with the wrong people and the car went off a bridge . do you know how many bridges there are in springfield , marah ? marah : do you want to quit ? you just want to forget about the whole thing ? michelle : do you ? marah : yes and no . i hate to think that my father is lying to me about anything , but if he is ... michelle : but maybe he had good reason . marah : yeah . and on the other hand , if carrie is telling us the truth and some young woman died in this town and nobody seems to remember to care , i think that 's awful . i would n't want that to happen to me or anybody that i loved . michelle : yeah . me , either . all right , you fire up the computer , i 'm going to get us something to eat from the kitchen , and then we are going to find out when and how this maryanne caruthers disappeared . marah : deal . bill : okay , guys , come on , these slogans are garbage . we 've got to come up with something better , all right ? danny : something that tells it like it is . tony : `` no more cement shoes . `` danny : aha . tony : okay . `` vote for me , it 's an offer that you ca n't refuse `` ? bill : all right , tony . come on , stop it . tony : no , i 'm serious . i 'm serious , bill . i mean , what about the old days ? why ca n't it be like then , when we could buy an election ? you know what i mean ? bill : do me a favor , never say that in public , okay ? danny : wait , wait , wait , wait , wait , bill . hold on , maybe tony 's on to something . i mean , with all these ideas , we 've been trying to downplay my past , right ? we ca n't do that , so what if , instead of ignoring it , we address it ? tony : yeah . bill : well , what do you mean ? how ? danny : i do n't know , i do n't know . um ... what about something like , `` danny santos -- no excuses , `` right ? that says that i definitely have a past , but i 'm not trying to shirk it . what do you think ? tony : yeah . uh , well , i 'm not sure . maybe you can end it with , `` no way , `` you know ? bill : no , wait , wait , wait , wait . danny , danny , danny , i think you 're on the right track . except you 're just not saying enough . `` danny santos -- no excuses . `` i mean , you 've got the past and the present implied , but what about the future ? danny : right . the future is definitely where the focus should be . bill : right , right . all right , how about this ? how about , `` danny santos -- no excuses , move on . `` something along those lines . danny : no , i like it . i like it . eden : whoa , it looks like a tornado came through here . do n't just stand there . help me clean up . danny : why ? bill : um ... eden : and you , you comb your hair and put on a tie . bill : honey , we 're in the middle of something . we 'll do that later , okay ? eden : no , that is not okay . do the names daggert and hodge ring a bell for any of you ? bill : what , jim hodge , george daggert ? yeah , they 're the two biggest political poo - bahs in this town . tony : what ? bill : king - makers . danny : yeah , if daggert and hodge put their weight behind a candidate in springfield , he 's almost guaranteed to win . what about them ? eden : they 're going to be here in ten minutes , so let 's go . harley : what if it turned out that , you know , while you were at spaulding , that things maybe were n't as they should be ? alan : gus , what ... what are you doing with that file ? brad : i know what you 're up to . harley : um , trying to rack this weight if you would let me . brad : you did n't just happen to show up here today . you planned this little meeting , and i know why . jeffrey : just stay cool , cooper . harley : i did n't plan anything . i do n't know what you 're talking about . jeffrey : stay very cool . brad : someone has put you up to this . harley : i 'm just here to pump iron , brad . brad : you 're here to pump me for information . harley : look , if you would just let go of the bar , i could explain to you what ... brad : let go ? are you sure ? harley : um , okay , look , i do n't know what 's going on here . i thought we were supposed to be friends . i mean , who cleared your name ? who cleared you of a potential murder rap , and you sit here accusing me of i do n't even know what ? brad : all right . i 'm not saying it was your idea , but you are a part of it . harley : a part of what ? brad : somebody is out to get me , and i think we both know who that is . harley : somebody is out to get you ? who ? brad : oh , who do you think ? your boyfriend -- aitoro . harley : gus ? brad : you 're doing his dirty work , and he 's doing dear old dad 's . harley : alan ? brad : `` how 's work , brad ? `` `` it must be very stressful , brad . `` alan does n't think i can cut it anymore , does he ? of all the ungrateful ... i busted my hump for him in paris , 16-hour days , seven days a week . i come here to springfield and get embroiled in this lori mess . harley : brad ? brad , could you ... ? brad : my marriage falls apart . my wife decides to blackmail me . but did i miss a single conference call , a single meeting ? no . harley : could you just ... brad : and finally , finally , i decide to take an hour off to come here to the gym so i wo n't have a heart attack , for god 's sakes , so i 'll have the energy to work even harder , and alan is questioning my loyalty , my ability to get the job done ? harley : what is this ? you think that i 'm doing alan 's bidding ? please ! after the way he treated me when i was married to phillip ? look , you ask anybody . i would n't work for alan spaulding if i was starving . now , would you get this off of me ? ! brad : oh , all right . harley : ( sighs ) thank you . brad : sorry . harley : wow ! i know better than to bring up work to you . look , i know ... i know what you 're up against here , okay ? i know everything with marie and now alan is obviously pressuring you at the office . you 're a little tense . brad : yeah . just a little . harley : was that a smile ? brad : i have n't been doing much of that lately , have i ? harley : well ... you 're an okay guy , brad . more than okay . really . brad : for a serial adulterer ? harley : hey , you 've admitted your mistakes and you 're trying to rectify them , right ? you 've forgiven your wife , and i 'm not sure i agree with that 100 % . you 're giving 200 % at work , right ? talk about commitment . talk about loyalty . i mean , my gosh , if alan spaulding does n't appreciate you as somebody valuable on his team , i think that man is a fool . gus : it 's yours . i just ... i was looking for something else , and i came across it . i did n't open it . alan : mm - hmm . why not ? gus : well , because it says `` a. spaulding eyes only . `` i mean , it 's confidential , so . alan : well , so it has . you know , gus , i did n't bring you into this company to keep things from you . i 've told all of my employees that you are to have access to all information , carte blanche . gus : carte blanche , eh ? alan : yes . gus : well , how will all the other little executives feel about that , then ? alan : i really do n't care , because the name of this company is spaulding . and you are a spaulding . so , you can read all the files to your heart 's content . alexandra : well , is n't this just swell ? gus : well , hello , auntie . alexandra : well , i see alan 's managed to weave you into our nasty little web . gus : hmm . believe me , i tried to resist , but he gave me the key to the executive washroom . i mean ... alexandra : ah ! that did it , huh ? gus : yes . that and the idea of working with you , my favorite auntie . i 'm going down to the pharmaceutical division . you need me , you just buzz me , okay ? i 'm going to bone up on all the information . alexandra : gus ? my file , please . danny : how 'd you get daggert and hodge to agree to a meeting ? bill : yeah , i 've been trying to set up something with them for days . eden : i know . you told me at breakfast , remember ? so , imagine my surprise when i went into eichorn 's pharmacy this morning to see how bad girl was doing . mr. eichorn was more than happy to tell me about the sales figures and how local prominent ladies are buying it , including nancy daggert and leona hodge . so , of course , i just had to call nan and lee and introduce myself and offer them complimentary beauty consultation and freebie baskets of bad girl samples . bill : is this woman incredible or what , hmm ? eden : and then i just had to mention my sweetheart of a boyfriend is danny santos ' campaign manager and how wonderful danny would be as mayor and how great it would be for nan and lee 's hubbies , george and jimmy , to meet him at some point . and the rest is history . danny : that must be some perfume . bill : yeah . that is good work , darling . eden : i know . ( knock on door ) danny : okay , that must be them . is everybody ready ? tony : yeah , go ahead . bill : we 're good . we 're clean . eden : wait , wait , wait . here , got it . bill : go get them . danny : ross . ross : hi . danny : hi . ross : we are a few minutes early . i hope that wo n't be a problem . danny : `` we `` ? ross : yes . i would like you to meet mr. daggert , mr. hodge . george and jim , this is danny santos . danny : senators . mr. daggert , mr. hodge . hi , pleasure to meet you . come in , please . bill : hey , how are you ? bill lewis , danny 's campaign manager . danny : i was n't told you 'd be joining us , ross . ross : well , george and jim asked me to come along . danny : you three are friends ? ross : yes , we are . i 'm also their attorney . michelle : all right , so we should concentrate on these three bridges here and then eliminate the others . marah : why these three ? michelle : well , they span main roads , and i do n't know , the way carrie described the accident , maryanne 's car seemed to be going really fast when it went off the bridge . marah : which would be difficult to do on a long , winding , narrow back road . michelle : but not impossible . at least it gives us a starting point , right ? carrie : hmm . all this salt and fat , it 's delicious . how do you girls keep your figures ? marah : you think we should put a bell around her neck ? michelle : i thought that you were going to leave us to sleuth on our own . carrie : oh , i 'll be delighted to leave you to your own devices . michelle : uh - uh . no , no , no , no . just tell us if we 're on the right track . carrie : well , you 've already narrowed it down to three bridges . two of them can be quite easily eliminated . marah : they can , why ? carrie : zoom in . look at the photographs . michelle : `` zoom in `` ? i thought you hated technology . carrie : oh , i do . but sometimes the nastiest things are necessary . there . now , look at that first photograph , what do you see ? marah : i see ... i do n't see anything . i see a narrow bridge with two lanes ... michelle : no , no , marah , zoom in more . zoom in more . like ... and focus . see that bronze plaque right there ? focus in on that . there . marah : `` there , `` what ? michelle : `` built in 1990 . `` so this bridge did n't even exist when maryanne died . carrie : exactly . now , look at the photograph of the other bridge . michelle : is there going to be a plaque on that one , too ? marah : does n't matter . does n't matter when this bridge was built . the problem is the concrete abutments on either side of it . michelle : abutments ? marah : sorry . my family 's in construction . sue me . michelle : okay , what about the abutments ? marah : okay , well , look how big and solid they are . there 's no way a car could crash through them . michelle : wow , you 're right . so that leaves us with the third bridge , cutters bridge . carrie : i think you may be exactly right . michelle : so that 's it . okay , what 's next ? carrie : well , how many times have i told you ? you 've simply got to connect the dots . michelle : `` connect the dots . `` i would like to connect her dots . carrie : now , now . temper , temper . marah : okay . okay , every fatal accident has to be reported , right ? i think by law it has to be recorded , so it would be recorded somewhere . michelle : right , with the police . with the police . there has to be an accident record on file . marah : all right , but i 'm sure it 's confidential , and they 're not just going to let some random people come in off the street and go look at their files , right ? michelle : probably not . marah : all right , so how are we going to get around that ? how are we going to be able to see these official police records ? michelle : marina . harley : you know , brad , the way that you have chosen to forgive marie , the way that you 're standing by her , not a lot of men could do that . brad : there are n't a lot of men who would screw up like i did in the first place . believe me , i wronged her far more than she has ever wronged me . if marie forgives me , that 'll be the miracle . harley : is that the goal here ? brad : well , we 're trying to work on the marriage , but it 's not going to do much good if marie ends up in prison , which is exactly what 'll happen if o'neill decides that i have to testify against her . harley : well , i 'm sure your lawyer 's told you this already , but a man can not be forced to testify against his wife in court . brad : o'neill has made it perfectly clear to me that if i do not testify , he will drag me through the mud right along with her . now , i do n't care for my sake . it 's my children i 'm concerned about . i mean , i 've tried my very best to prevent them from hearing all this stuff about their mother and me , but if it 's made part of the public record ... harley : oh , god . jeffrey o'neill is such a swine . he really is . the man is so arrogant and so self - absorbed . brad : i thought the two of you got along . harley : well , when we have to -- in public . but you know , there are ways around jeffrey o'neill . brad : what do you mean ? harley : i mean , my brother happens to be the chief of police , and i happen to have a few friends of my own at city hall from my years on the force . i could ... well , maybe i could call in a few favors and see if i could get the charges dropped against your wife . brad : dismiss the case ? are you serious ? harley : i ca n't promise anything , but i can try , brad . brad : if you could do that for me , if you could make this entire thing go away , i would be grateful beyond words . harley : i 'll give it a shot . alan : your file , alexandra ? alexandra : yes , alan , my dear . i mean , the pharmaceutical and cosmetics divisions are my bailiwick , and that file is particularly labeled `` a. spaulding . `` alan : hmm , well , may i remind you that i am also a. spaulding , and as acting ceo of the company , i have jurisdiction over every division . alexandra : all the more reason why you should be very concerned about just anyone seeing sensitive material , dear . nothing personal , of course , gus . gus : no , nothing personal . well , what would you call it , alexandra ? alexandra : oh , i just find it rather disturbing that alan 's been so quick to make room for you . do n't you ? gus : no , i do n't think that at all . alan wanted it , and also , phillip wanted it . alexandra : really ? gus : oh , yes , really . see , i think that phillip wanted somebody here to protect his interest , to make sure that nothing was magically reversed , all of his hard work and everything . and believe me , he did n't trust you to do that . alexandra : and you 're all right with this , alan ? alan : yes , perfectly . gus : you know what , alexandra ? do yourself a favor . just consider me the caretaker , okay ? i 'm just a seat - warmer for phillip , until he gets back , all right ? alexandra : right , right . i 'll gladly look at you that way , my dear , though i do n't think alan will . look around you . it seems to me that alan , your father , has removed every trace of phillip as the ceo . and very shortly he will be reorganizing spaulding into his very own image -- everything about spaulding , including you , darling . marina : hey , hey ! did you miss me ? cop : marina ! what brings you down to the black hole ? marina : oh , i 'm doing a project for school . dad said i could look through some of the old files . well , he did n't tell you that ? yeah , he is so spaced out these days . i guess that 's what love will do to you , though , huh ? cop : this is a restricted area , hon . i ca n't let anyone in here without permission . marina : what , not even the chief of police 's daughter ? come on , it 's not like i 'm going to take anything out . okay , just call my dad . i mean , he 's having lunch with darci , but i 'm sure he wo n't mind ... cop : no , no , no , it 's all right . you can come in . marina : thank you . you 're a doll . oh , do n't mind them . these are just my study partners . now , where do you keep the accident reports ? cop : uh ... bill : ross , it 's just a meet and greet . i do n't see the reason for counsel . ross : well , bill , i 'm just here in an advisory capacity . bill : advisory ? regarding what ? tony : how close they can get to a santos without looking dirty . bill : ( clears throat ) tony : i 'll keep my mouth shut . danny : no , i think my cousin hit the nail on the head , gentlemen . you have questions about me , personally , about my campaign , my connections . let 's hear them . why do n't we do this the right way ? cigars ? danny : okay , guys , look . you 've asked us a lot of questions and we 've answered them . bill : yeah , thoroughly . danny : beyond that , i do n't know what else i can tell you . ross : danny , um ... george and jim need assurances . they need assurances that you have severed all ties with your past . danny : and i 've assured them , ross . ross : verbally you have , yes . but they need something a bit more concrete . danny : i see where this is going now . you want me to turn my back on my cousin . ross : danny , this is awkward for all of us , and believe me , nobody is telling you how to run your personal life . danny : glad to hear it , ross . ross : but governing a city -- and you know this -- it involves a public trust . danny : ross , whatever information your clients are operating on , it 's out of date . daggert : how 's that ? danny : tony turned over a new leaf the exact same time i did . before , actually . hodge : is that a fact ? danny : yeah , it 's a fact . tony no longer has any ties to organized crime . he left that life behind along with the violence that goes with it . daggert : except when he 's raging drunk and picks a fight in a bar with some guy . hodge : olivia 's , a couple of months back ? pretty blonde lady ? you hit on her , you got into it with her boyfriend . stop me when this sounds familiar . tony : so you 've had someone tailing me , huh ? daggert : no . we know a lot of people . hodge : everywhere . your cousin 's a hothead , danny . tony : first of all , get your story straight , man . all right ? danny , listen to me . i was going through some things with marah , okay ? yeah , i got drunk , i let off some steam , it happens . it 's no big deal . it happens . daggert : it happens to people like you , not everyone else . danny : guys , come on . you heard him . he had a fight with his girlfriend . he was upset ... tony : no , no , no , no . you know what , danny ? these guys are right . i 'll tell you what . i 've told you from the beginning i would be a liability , so what i will do for you guys , i will step down . danny : no , you wo n't . tony : no , i will . you do n't need me . danny : yes , i do . tony : you do n't need me , okay ? danny : i do . you stay right here . let me see if i get this straight : you guys come in here and you grill me on my character and my ethics . you want to know that you can trust me and the only way that i can prove that to you is by telling my own cousin to take a hike ? is that it ? well , if that 's the extent of your political wisdom , gentlemen , you can take it -- along with those expensive cigars i just gave you -- and shove it up your ... bill : danny . hodge : you 've got some solid ideas , danny . danny : thank you . daggert : we really appreciate where you 're coming from . hodge : so we 'll be in touch . danny : okay , sounds good . thanks again for stopping bye . ross , thanks . ross : take care . bill : whoo ! now i know what it feels like to be dragged over hot coals . eden : you did a wonderful job , honey . danny : maybe i 'm not cut out for politics after all . bill : wait a minute , danny . do n't say that , okay ? they liked you , and i think they 're going to back you , i do . danny : yeah , maybe they will . ross is another story . eden : i got a really negative vibe from him . i wonder what 's up . danny : i 'm not sure . tony : yeah , well , whatever . it 's his loss . danny : no , tony , it could mean my loss . ross speaks for a whole part of springfield that i might never win over , no matter how hard i try . alan : you know , alexandra , there 's only one flaw to your logic , because if i were as cunning and deceitful as you suspect , when i took over for phillip i would have reclaimed my office and kicked you out on your ear . alexandra : oh , well , who says the purge is over ? alan : there is no purge and there never will be . this is a family business and the spauldings stick together no matter what . alexandra : oh , gus , tell me you 're not buying this bunk . gus : well , you know , from my personal experience , i find al to be nothing but a loyal guy . it 's some other people in the immediate vicinity that have problems with ... alexandra : well , just save it , will you ? because i think i 've done my penance . gus : no , well , i think you 've made your share of mistakes . alexandra : recently ? gus : well , sure . alexandra : name one . gus : okay , no problem . how about keeping an embezzler on the payroll , for starters ? brad : did someone mention my name ? harley : testing . testing . damn , i 'm good ! am i good ? i mean , did you see me out there ? i played brad green , not like a fiddle -- oh , no , no , no -- i would say , like a stradivarius . would n't you say ? jeffrey : oh , yeah , you were just incredible . as a matter of fact , you were mind - bendingly brilliant . okay , is your ego massaged enough now so we can get down to business ? harley : is that sarcasm ? is that the da / fed feeling a little miffed that maybe i said some unkind things about him ? jeffrey : hey , whatever it takes to get the job done , right ? harley : that 's what i think . so , what 's with the attitude ? jeffrey : maybe i do n't like my operatives disobeying me . harley : i did n't disobey you . jeffrey : harley , i told you to flirt with the guy , okay ? and not to mention spaulding . what 's the first thing you do , straight out of the gate ? harley : well , look what happened . it worked . jackpot ! jeffrey : it was an accident . i do n't like accidents , even when they work in our favor . okay , next time you 're with brad green , you do things my way . do n't deviate from the script , you got it ? harley : you know what ? you do n't have half the experience that i have working undercover . you do n't know half of what i know about working a mark . jeffrey : well , you do n't know half of what you think you do . harley : i know what men want . jeffrey : do you ? and what do men want ? you think they want to talk about what 's going on at the office ? harley : i was sympathizing with him . i was ... i was building rapport . i was gaining his trust , like you said . look , unlike you , jeffrey , most men want more than just a little tumble with a woman . jeffrey : that is exactly what they do want , harley . okay ? they do n't want to talk , okay ? do you think that brad green wanted to talk with all those women he cheated on his wife with ? hmm ? harley : you know what i think ? i think that i read him perfectly and i played him perfectly . jeffrey : do you ? and you told him that i would drop the case . harley : yes . and if you were half as smart as you think you are , you would do just that . jeffrey : on what basis ? harley : on the basis that your evidence stinks ! jeffrey : well , i 've got marie green in front of a room full of people , including the two of us , confessing . harley : please , it 's entrapment . any half decent defense attorney is going to have that thing suppressed yesterday . and who is your witness ? your only real witness is brad . and even if you have him declared hostile , you still ca n't ... jeffrey : hmm . really ? harley : ... compel him to testify . you louse . you louse ! you were planning to drop those charges all along . alexandra : brad , brad , gus did n't mean it . brad : sure he did . if you have a bone to pick with me , detective aitoro , i suggest you do it to my face . alan : brad ... gus : no , it 's all right , alan . first of all , it 's detective aitoro , and i think it 's a great idea . let 's get it all out in the open , okay ? you go first . brad : all right . you thought me guilty of a great many things for some time now , and you 're only partially right . my mistakes have been moral , not criminal . alexandra : he was also a victim himself . let 's not forget that . brad : and all of the charges against me have been dropped . gus : all except the embezzling , which you did do but you were never charged for , and i do n't know how that happened . alexandra : well , i 'll tell you . he was in an extreme situation -- not only being accused of murder but also his own wife blackmailing him ? gus : hmm . alexandra : look , in a desperate moment , he did a foolish thing . gus : yeah . something very , very foolish . alexandra : yes , and he paid it back . brad : the very next day , for god 's sakes . alexandra : well , we thought he had suffered enough . gus : do you feel the same way , alan ? alan : yes . gus : oh , well , then , hey . i 'm sorry . if you guys can forgive and forget , then i 've got no problem with that . let me just say , i 'm looking forward to working with you , mr. green . how 's that ? brad : working ? alan : yes . you see , gus has taken a leave of absence from the force and is going to be helping us out during phillip 's absence . gus : i hope that 's okay , now that we 're letting bygones by bygones . brad : well , no , i have no problem with that . gus : great ! that 's great . because alan here has told me , what , the amazing work you have done , it 's incomprehensible . the whole pharmaceutical division is ... i 'm just going to do my homework now , you know , and read all ... read all about it . brad : are you going to read that file ? gus : yes , i 'm going to read this file . i 'm going to read those files and the other files . i 'm going to read everything i can get my hands on . marah : anything in that one ? michelle : nope . nothing on a car going off a bridge , nothing about maryanne caruthers , not even a jane doe . how about you ? marina ? marina : uh , wait . wait , yeah , yeah , yeah . i found something . okay , in 1980 , a car went off a bridge . oh . it landed upside down on a cornfield , the driver and his dog escaped unharmed . marah : yeah , i found one like that , too , except it was some woman taking her cat to the vet . marina : you guys , this is a complete waste of time . i mean , we have gone through every single accident report over the last decade , and what have we found ? nothing . michelle : exactly , exactly . we 've gone through every single accident report and what have we discovered ? marah : nothing . marina just said . michelle : nothing , right . marina : is there an echo in here ? michelle : a fatal accident occurred in this town and there 's no record of it in the police files . that 's what we need to focus on : why is there no record of maryanne 's death ? marina : uh , because it never happened ? michelle : or maybe it happened and someone does n't want anyone to know . harley : you know , you might have let me know what you were up to . jeffrey : i could n't . i could n't do that . then you would n't have been so convincing , okay ? as it is now , brad thinks that you got me to drop the charges , okay ? so he owes you and he trusts you . you should be happy . harley : happy that you played me ? jeffrey : happy that brad got what he wanted , happy that his little wifey - poo wo n't have to do time and that the kiddies will have mommy to bake them cookies and wo n't be wearing prison orange . there is only one problem , is that mel will be out a client . harley : whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa . how do you know that mel is representing the jensons -- unless you are still bugging my office ! jeffrey : come on , harley . you exhaust me . mel filed as attorney of record , okay ? the paperwork crossed my desk . any other questions ? harley : you can tell me where you get ... i 'm not going to do this . i 'm not going to stoop to your level . jeffrey : hey , terrier ? you did well today . harley : that 's a stupid code name . brad : that file 's confidential . gus : so what ? brad : confidential means confidential . gus : well , i 'm a detective . i think i can keep a secret . alan : brad , is there something specific in that file that you 're concerned about ? brad : ( laughs nervously ) no , i ... is gus going to have access to absolutely everything from this point on ? alan : carte blanche . brad : well , then , you 're the boss . alexandra : temporarily , until phillip 's better . brad : welcome to the team , gus . i 'll be happy to give you any help that i can . it 's the very least i can do , considering your fiancée 's been so wonderful to me . harley is a very special lady -- kind , compassionate , smart . and she 's got a hell of a body on her , too . gus : what now ? brad : oh , from a physical standpoint . i could n't help noticing when we were working out together earlier at the gym . yes , harley 's a special lady . bill : come on , come on , let 's get out of here . tony : look , danny , i take back what i said before . i like it . danny : no , tony , you were right . why should anyone believe a politician ? tony : yeah , but see , that 's the thing . you 're not a politician , danny . i mean , look at the way you stood up to those guys , you know ? for me . danny : does that mean i have your vote ? tony : not that it matters , you know ? i mean , not that anything matters once the other side declares and everything starts to fly . i mean , you just got a little taste of it today , danny . you know ? danny : yeah . it 's going to get ugly . tony : yeah . yeah , it is . i just wish it was like the old days when we knew who our enemies were , because now , this game , a knife in your back could come from anyone . rick : thanks , ross . i ... ross : yeah . rick : ... for taking the time to talk with me . i 'm just really worried about my dad . ross : well , i do n't know what to say , rick , because ed has seemed just fine to me lately . rick : not particularly agitated or moody or ... ? ross : ( laughs ) rick : i 'm sorry , what am i saying ? i mean , he 's never been mary sunshine , has he ? ross : you know , to be honest , i think he 's a little uncomfortable with the idea of danny running for mayor and the public scrutiny . maybe that 's what 's got him down . rick : how do you feel about that , ross ? about danny running for mayor ? ross : um , at the moment i 'm reserving judgment on that . what about you ? rick : i guess i 'm okay with it . i mean , i was n't in love with the idea , but you know what ? if michelle 's happy , i 'm happy . ross : honestly , i would n't worry about it , because once ed gets used to the idea of danny running for mayor , he 'll be fine , and you know , all he wants is for michelle to be happy and to have the uncomplicated life that she deserves . marah : michelle , i love conspiracy theories as much as the next person , but ... michelle : okay , i 'm not saying for sure that it 's a conspiracy . i mean , maybe there 's a perfectly good reason why maryanne 's accident is n't on record . or maybe ... maybe the accident never happened in the first place and carrie 's making the whole thing up , i do n't know . marah : no , she 's given us too much information for that . marina : yeah , information that has n't panned out yet . marah : okay , well , maybe we got the timeframe wrong . michelle : no , i do n't think so . i think maryanne lived and died right around the time that we think . wait . wait , that 's it . she died . marina : yeah , we know that , michelle . michelle : okay , but this is another way for us to get information , right ? where do people go when they die ? and i do n't mean metaphysically . marina : oh , no . you can not be serious . marah : no . michelle : mm - hmm . marah : the graveyard . michelle : mm - hmm . her body had to end up somewhere , right ? i mean , maybe she 's in our town cemetery , and there would be a headstone . marina : oh , this just keeps getting better . marah : you want us to go digging through a creepy , cold graveyard ? michelle : yup , tonight . marina : in the pitch dark ? oh , joy . michelle : look , i 'm not thrilled about it , either , but do we want to get to the bottom of this thing or not ? marah : okay . marina : yeah , okay . if there 's any digging to be done , you 're the one with the shovel . marah : ew . michelle : all right , so then we 're all in agreement . we 'll meet tonight , let 's say , what , after dinner ? at the graveyard . okay ? and we ca n't say a word about this to a soul , because remember , if we do , carrie 's going to disappear and then we 'll never find out what happened to maryanne caruthers . agreed ?

[ door opens ] victor : you 'll take care of that , wo n't you ? nick : thank god you 're okay . when i heard ... what 's going on ? what are you doing here ? your radiologist . dr. neville : i have no doubt that ashley 's latest mri will confirm what we already know . however , i would n't mind stopping by at memorial myself and reviewing it for you . ashley : okay , i 'd appreciate that . stitch : and while we 're there , i 'd like you to walk me through your findings -- treatment , everything . dr. neville : by all means , lead the way , dr. rayburn . stitch : okay ? abby : yeah . see you later . stitch : okay . ashley : i ca n't imagine what you 're feeling , honey . abby : you could have died . and when i think about this whole year , it could have been the last year that we had together . and you were planning this dream wedding for me with all of these special touches , with -- with the handkerchief from grandpa john to remind me of my family , where i come from , the people who love me . ashley : i do n't want you to get upset , okay ? abby : and when you said that you were proud of me and that ben was always gon na love me and support me no matter what , you were saying that because you thought it might be goodbye . ashley : honey , we do n't have to worry about that now . abby : i hate this day . finding out that i could have lost you on the same day i could have lost my dad . ashley : what are you talking about ? what happened to victor ? abby : he was stabbed . ashley : oh , my god ! abby : at prison . yeah . ashley : is he gon na be okay ? abby : he 's gon na be fine . but you know what ? i 'm not okay . everything keeps changing and shifting , with -- with work , with dad , with max , with -- with ben , and -- and this new baby . and the whole time , you were going through this mega crisis , and i had no idea . and then i - i keep thinking ... ashley : what ? what are you thinking ? abby : i hate what i 'm thinking . ashley : honey , maybe i 'm gon na hate what you 're thinking , too , but i -- tell me . abby : is there another reason why you did n't tell me you were sick ? is there something else you were hiding ? ashley : what are you talking about ? abby : did you stay away from ben and encourage him to be with me because you thought you were dying ? look , i know that you said that -- that you did n't have feelings for him anymore . but maybe you did . maybe you had feelings for him the whole time , and -- and if you were well , then you would have pursued it . him . maybe . devon : and then you used ashley 's illness to dethrone her ? hilary : well , it 's a good thing that i did . devon : and why would you say that ? hilary : she was n't up to the job , devon . i found her passed out at her desk . devon : and you thought that was just the perfect opportunity to advance your career . hilary : it was in ashley 's best interest to step back . devon : it sounds like a convenient excuse , hilary . hilary : that woman was dying , devon , and i 'm the one that got the fda to fast- track our work . me ! this company needs a leader who can fully devote themselves to the cause . why ca n't you see that ? devon : 'cause what i see is that you did what was best for you , and that 's it . and that 's kind of what you always do . hilary : well , maybe that 's because i have to . [ scoffs ] it 's not like i can count on my husband to have my back , not after you sabotaged me with neil . devon : oh , boy . are we back to that ? hilary : what you did to me was no different than what you claim i did to ashley . no , actually , it was worse . you sabotaged your own wife , so you can get down off your high horse , because you are no better than me ! nikki : yes , victor did a terrible thing . but does he have to pay for it with his life ? there 's got to be something else we can do . paul : well , uh , i know a few guards at the prison . they 're good men . i 'll ask them to keep an eye on victor . nikki : okay , good . thank you . paul : i ca n't guarantee they 're gon na keep him safe , but it 's the ... the best i can do right now . nikki : well , it 's something . and thank you for talking to victor . i know he 's not one of your favorite people . but i love him , and the rest of the family still loves him . we 'll do anything to help him , whether he believes that or not . adam : well , nick , i did n't expect you to pop by , either . i guess dad being ambushed brings out the best in all of us , huh ? or at least our need to see it firsthand . nick : what 's going on ? victor : son , what are you doing here ? you 're a dead man to me , okay ? nick : dad , come on . victor : you all are dead to me . all of you testified against me . what do you mean , you 're concerned about me now ? you kidding ? nick : of course we 're concerned . you almost died . mom 's worried sick . victor : i do n't give a damn . nick : you should not push mom away . she 's only trying to help . victor : she 's trying to help ? are you serious ? her testimony helped put me behind bars , okay ? so do n't you worry about a thing . i 've got the situation handled . nikki : i appreciate everything you can do to help . dylan : you 'll be okay getting home ? nikki : i 'm fine . dylan : okay . nikki : thanks again . dylan : okay . paul : bye , nik . take care . nikki : thank you , paul . thank you . paul : all right . dylan : [ sighs ] man , i wish i could find a way to fix this . paul : all right , well , that 's one thing i learned the hard way . you ca n't do everything for everybody . dylan : that sounds like you 're saying you do n't want me to do more . paul : that 's exactly what i 'm saying . dylan : well , you just saw how this is affecting nikki . you expect me just to stand by and do -- paul : i want you to do everything you possibly can for your mother . what i do n't want is you getting involved in another newman mess like all the other newman children . dylan : well , how 's that gon na happen ? victor 's not my father . you are . paul : right . that 's why you should listen to me , because i have your best interests at heart . you need to look at what you 've got going on right now . a lot of great things . dylan : i know that . i do . but i just -- paul : okay . so take a step back and realize that there 's not much we can do right now . stitch : now , i 'm looking over your research . this -- this seems solid . dr. neville : i think so . stitch : for ashley to have been that sick for that long ... dr. neville : made the treatment that much more difficult , yes . stitch : oh , my god . so when we were trapped in the newman fire , she knew she might be dying . if i 'd only known that -- dr. neville : what ? if you had only known , what ? stitch : i would have moved mountains to save her , stood by her side , whatever she needed . dr. neville : and you would have lost your wife . ashley : i promise you , regardless of my health , nothing was going to happen between ben and me . abby : you say that now . ashley : he loves you , and you love him , and i knew then just like i know now that the two of you are meant to be together . abby : you really had moved on ? ashley : absolutely . you know how happy i am that you 've moved on , that you got married , you 're starting your own family ? and i get to be there . i get to meet my first grandchild . i get to be in your lives , and that 's what kept me going . it kept me fighting . abby : mom , i have to ask . there 's -- there 's nothing else that you 're hiding from me , right ? ashley : nothing , honey . no more secrets . abby : i love you , mom . ashley : i love you , baby . devon : your actions and my actions are not comparable at all because you did what you did to elevate yourself . hilary : i did this for you , for the company . devon : and you thought to hell with everybody else ? hilary : no , no , that is not true ! devon : it 's very true , okay ? you knew that ashley was sick and that neville was treating her and that his results were uncertain at best . hilary : he saved me ! devon : i understand that , but there 's no guarantee with any of it . none ! and you kept pushing to try and release neville 's cure just to capitalize on the buzz . hilary : you agreed . devon : yeah , i agreed , 'cause i was trying to do right by my wife ! this is why i went to neil and asked him to keep you off the board , because i 'm trying to bring you back down to earth . hilary : what is so damn great about being down on the ground with everyone else ? i like reaching for the stars , devon . devon : at what cost , though , honey ? hilary : i could have done incredible things for that foundation , just like i 'm doing incredible things here . thank god i am the one running this project ! devon : well , you can say that after -- hilary : oh , who better ? you ? ashley ? that nitwit abby ? [ scoffs ] neville ? if it was up to one of you , we would still be inching towards the starting line instead of celebrating this tremendous breakthrough ! god , if you do not get that , then you just need to get out of the game . devon : you think you can push me out of here ? hilary : devon , i - i did n't -- devon : you did n't what ? hilary : [ sighs ] devon : 'cause i know i do n't have to remind you how all this is up and running . without my funding , there would be no neville , there 'd be no lab , no research , no cure . and if ashley would have died , this company would be decimated . it 'd be gone . hilary : i refuse to believe that . devon : that 's -- that 's not really a surprise to me . for the record , i 'm not gon na let you push me out , and i 'm not gon na go anywhere . hilary : well , if you 're so mad at me , then why not ? devon : because i love you too much to do something like that . and i 'm gon na do everything i can to save you from yourself . stitch : abby would have been right there by my side working to save ashley 's life . my marriage would be just as strong as it is today . dr. neville : and why is it i ca n't help wondering about your feelings for ashley , past and present ? stitch : how is that any of your business ? dr. neville : ben , if you still have feelings for abby 's mother , you need to tell me . that needs to be on the table . stitch : and why is this your concern ? dr. neville : because nothing is going to interfere with my treatment . i 've got good news , and it 's hard won . you 've seen the data . surely you realize that this is a delicate process . stitch : [ sighs ] you know , i do n't have feelings for ashley . but you do . my god . admit it . ashley 's more than a patient to you . you 're falling in love with her . ashley : do you forgive me ? i 'm sorry if i hurt your feelings . the very last thing i wanted to do was cause you pain . abby : of course i forgive you . i 'm not happy about the way you handled this , but i know you were just trying to protect me . ashley : right . and , actually , that 's what a mom does , and you 're gon na be experiencing that soon . abby : only thing i 'm experiencing right now is morning sickness and moodiness . ashley : what about max ? i mean , you 're his mom now . abby : not according to him . ashley : he 's gon na come around . and then just you wait . when you have this baby , your maternal instincts are gon na kick in like you wo n't believe , and you will do everything you can to protect your child . sharon : would you like to hold sully ? sage : really ? you would n't mind ? sharon : oh , my goodness . of course not . sully loves you . aunt sage wants to say hi to you . sage : hi . oh , you 're so perfect . oh . oh . oh . nick : so you got it handled ? you have any idea what he means by that ? adam : me ? no . hell no . i gave up a long time ago trying to figure out what goes on in his head , you know ? nick : well , whatever is going on , clearly you do n't want to talk about it with me . victor : you can show yourselves out now , please . nick : all right , dad , just stop . tell me if you 're okay . victor : i told you i 'm handling this . i 'm okay . adam : he 's okay , so , you know , uh , gee , speedy recovery ? victor : just get out . nick : dad . victor : son , please get out now . [ inhales deeply ] [ exhales deeply ] nick : we need to talk about this . adam : no . nope . i 'm gon na get home to my wife . nick : i know you did n't just happen to stop by to check on dad . adam : what are you presuming , nick ? nick : you keep saying you 're done with dad and newman , yet here you are . what 's going on ? [ next_on ] victoria : this is the last thing that i need . nick : at least you wo n't be doing it alone . i 'm here to offer you my help . chelsea : what did victor say ? what did he promise you ? or worse , what did you agree to ? adam : can we talk about this later ? chelsea : no . i want to talk about it now . | at the club , devon admitted he 'd told neil not to give hilary a job on the board because he thought she only wanted to use the position to raise her social standing . hilary was furious . at the hospital , sharon told dylan that she was uneasy about nurse steven 's interest in sully . the nurse 's record was clean , so dylan and sharon agreed to stop the investigation . victor called adam to the hospital and told him about ian 's threats . victor was concerned ian would kill him . victor asked adam to kill ian if ian succeeded . nick came to check on victor , but victor said nick was dead to him . nick was worried about victor , but victor said he had it under control , then he threw his sons out of the room . victor noticed that his wound was bleeding . nick accused adam of being in cahoots with victor . ben told abby that victor was stabbed . abby was angry that none of the newmans told her . abby answered a call from ashley 's doctor and learned about her illness . ashley and simon arrived , and ashley fessed up about the brain tumor and simon 's cure . devon and hilary arrived , and the truth about hilary blackmailing ashley came out . | <s>[INST] hilary : neil is barring me from the board on his foundation . how dare he reject me ? devon : hilary . hilary : i am more than qualified . and then we made that huge donation at the fundraiser . how could he keep me off this board ? devon : the reason is -- hilary : no , you know what ? even though he says he does n't hold a grudge , clearly he does . devon : that 's not what it is . hilary : what ? did he tell you something ? devon : it 's what i told him . i asked him to turn you down . abby : you did n't have to . i 'm pregnant . i 'm not feeble . i do n't need my husband to drive me to work . stitch : okay . noted for future reference . abby : and , look , i do n't need you hanging around here all day watching my every move . stitch : abby . abby : [ sighs ] thank you for not listening to me . how 'd you know i needed this ? stitch : 'cause you love your dad . abby : he could have died , and i 'm furious about it . stitch : because he was stabbed in prison ? abby : no , because you 're the one who told me . if your friend from the hospital had n't called ? i mean , no one in my family said a word to me . stitch : nikki and victoria , they were -- abby : oh , they were trying to protect me by not telling me . yeah . i hate it when they do that . stitch : the important thing is your dad made it and he 's fine . abby : for now . [ telephone rings ] abby : [ sighs ] abby newman . um , she 's not in right now . can i take a message ? of course . stitch : something wrong ? abby : it was someone from dr. morse 's office calling for my mom . stitch : you sure they said morse ? abby : yeah . do you know him ? stitch : he 's the top radiologist at memorial . abby : why would a radiologist be calling for my mom ? stitch : has ashley said anything about feeling sick ? ashley : i was sick . but i 'm better now . dylan : what were you doing talking to nurse stephens ? i mean , if you thought there was something i could have asked her , i -- sharon : no , no , it was n't that . um , i did n't seek her out . she approached me . dylan : oh . well , what did she need ? sharon : she was just being social , i guess . she asked to hold sully , but , dylan , the whole time i had the most unsettling feeling . sage : we 've lost so much , nick . thank god i still have you . nick : we have each other . and we have an awesome future together . sage : yeah , we do . just have to get through today . nick : yes . sage : and then tomorrow . nick : and tomorrow . chelsea : oh . hi . sorry , guys . [ laughs ] i did n't mean to interrupt . i was just passing by . sage : no , you did n't at all . um , actually , i 'm -- i 'm really glad that we ran into you , chelsea , because nick and i have been talking about the next few days , and you 're my new boss . chelsea : do you need more time off ? it wo n't be a problem . sharon and i have been trying to be flexible for you . sage : i know . you girls have been great . but i just -- i was -- chelsea : well , you 're just about to be a mom , adopting the baby . i get it . you probably want to be at home getting settled . sage : uh , actually , um , i was just gon na say that our schedule 's changed , so i 'm available for as many hours as you need , as soon as you need me . so , how about today ? paul : hey , there , nik . how you doing ? you alone ? nikki : i am . no , i am not drinking again . although that was certainly my intention after seeing victor in the hospital . paul : well , i 'm glad you 're not . what changed your mind ? nikki : jack , actually . paul : ah . nikki : because of him , all i 've had is sparkling water . paul : well , i 'm sorry to hear about victor and , uh , the attack on him . nikki : he did n't last very long in prison without becoming a target . what 's gon na happen when he goes back ? paul : well , nik , i wish i could assure you it was an isolated occurrence , but , uh , in all likelihood , it could happen again . nikki : what ? he has a 10-year sentence . he wo n't survive that . i - i have to do something . paul : what exactly do you think you can do ? nikki : i 'm not sure , but i have to help my husband . [ sighs ] even though he does n't want to have anything to do with me . victor : so you came . adam : yeah . the , uh , nurse told me that my recently shivved father wanted to see me , said it was rather serious . i assume you paid her to make the call ? victor : i guess it worked . adam : all right , uh , um , listen , i told you i did n't want anything to do with you , so ... victor : why are you here ? adam : i do n't know . what -- what -- what ? are you looking for sympathy ? it does n't really seem like your style . and i told you i 'm not interested in running newman in your absence . victor : i do n't want you to run newman in my absence . this is personal , okay ? dylan : wait a minute . if you guys were n't here to see nurse stephens , what are you doing ? sharon : sully 's fever spiked . dylan : is he okay ? hey , little man . how you feeling ? sharon : he 's fine . it was just like i thought . it was the teething that caused the fever . dylan : you sure it 's nothing more serious ? sharon : well , the doctor gave him something to make him feel more comfortable , and just look at him now . he 's as good as ever . dylan : not gon na let a few teeth get you down , huh ? sharon : and then after we saw the doctor , that was when we ran into nurse stephens . dylan : and something about her rubbed you the wrong way ? sharon : it just bugged me that she was so interested in seeing sully again . dylan : well , after all , our son is a magnificent specimen . sharon : well , that 's true . he really is . [ chuckles ] dylan : you know , right now there 's no reason to believe that nurse stephens is hiding anything from us . maybe it is your dreams getting to you . i just wish there was something i could do to ease your mind . sharon : you 've done everything you can , and i love you for it . and you 're right . i need to stop looking back and bask in my presence ... with mr . wonderful ... [ chuckles ] ... and his gorgeous father . chelsea : wow . i thought that you wanted time with the new baby . nick : uh , you know what ? i think it 's great that sage wants to jump right into work , and , uh , i think it 'd be really good for her . chelsea : yeah , well , that is great . i actually have that big photo shoot to prep . sage : for the fashion magazine . chelsea : yes . sharon 's gon na meet me at my place later . i could definitely put you to work if you want to join me now . sage : yes . definitely . i would love that . chelsea : great . sage : [ sighs ] see you later . nick : yeah . i 'm proud of you . devon : thanks . hilary : how could you do that to me ? my husband is supposed to be on my side . devon : i am on your side . hilary : [ scoffs ] how could you say that ? you knew how much i wanted to be on that board . this is your father 's charity . what possible problem could you have for me wanting to help ? devon : my problem is with why you wanted to be on the board . hilary : what are you talking about ? devon : 'cause this -- this sudden interest in charity has nothing to do with you wanting to help neil and jack 's cause . hilary : what other reason could i have for volunteering my time and our money ? devon : you want to climb the social ladder . you want attention . you want power and status . that 's why . hilary : so does every other person on that board . what 's wrong with that ? devon : you honestly do n't see the problem with that ? hilary : i 'm ambitious . so what ? i want to be a leading force in this town . i want that for both of us . devon : honey , there are more important things in life . hilary : like being together , huh ? like loving each other ? because me being on that board , it is -- it 's not gon na interfere with that , okay ? not one bit . right ? now , i am glad that we cleared this up . so you can call your father later , right ? devon : i 'm not going to call anyone . i 'm not gon na change my mind because i do n't like what this is doing to you . hilary : and i do n't like being judged and controlled . [ scoffs ] this conversation is over . i have work to do . abby : this is about the flu that you could n't shake ? ashley : well , it was just easier to call it a flu . stitch : when i bumped into you in the hospital , i - i thought something was off . i just did n't -- abby : yeah , just like i thought it was weird when you collapsed at our wedding . ashley : well , all that really matters is that i 'm better , right , thanks to neville . abby : you 're sure ? you 're absolutely sure ? dr. neville : we 've been getting daily updates from memorial all stating the exact same thing -- steady and sustained improvement . ashley : it 's official . i 'm recovering . abby : you should have told me that you were sick . dr. neville : well , you can blame me for that . i insisted she avoid all stress while recuperating . abby : oh , so it was too stressful to be honest with her daughter ? ashley : i did n't want to burden you . and the treatment was experimental . i could n't tell my family . they would have wanted to weigh in on it . abby : i would n't have told anyone . ashley : it would have been too hard on you to keep this a secret , and you 're pregnant . i was n't gon na do that to you . abby : this is why you did n't go to dad 's trial . dr. neville : you can put that on me , as well . the treatment was problematic at times , and i was afraid all the heightened tension at the courthouse would set your mother back . ashley : i 'm so sorry i was n't there for you during that . i mean , i have n't been able to be there for you like i wanted to be because i 'm not healthy . abby : because you were ill . and instead of telling me that , you decided to just make me wonder why you did n't want to be around me . ashley : abby ! why are you saying this to me ? abby : when were you diagnosed ? dr. neville : well , it 's good news . that 's not really important . stitch : i think ashley should answer her daughter 's question . ashley : right after the surgery for the aneurysm . stitch : that long ago ? before the fire at newman tower ? ashley : yeah . um ... after the surgery , uh , the doctor told me that they found a brain tumor and that it was ... inoperable . abby : a tumor . i ca n't believe this . ashley : honey , look , i know that it 's a lot to take in -- abby : no , what i ca n't believe is that my mother chose to lie to me for almost a year . i wanted to do anything i could to find a cure bec -- ashley : honey , when i first was diagnosed , i was devastated . i wanted to do anything i could to find a cure because i did n't want my family to be as terrified as i was . i did n't want you to be that terrified . ca n't you understand that ? abby : i guess that makes sense -- if i was a child . ashley : honestly , i do n't understand your anger . i was trying to protect my child . ca n't you understand that ? ca n't you understand why i did this ? stitch : of course it 's understandable , but that does n't keep me from wishing that you had confided in me -- in us , that you leaned on us . you pride yourself on being so strong , but -- dr. neville : abby , please . if anything , you should be proud of your mother . she 's quite possibly the most courageous person i 've ever met . her devotion to her family , to the work , to our research was beyond extraordinary and under the worst of all possible circumstances . ashley : i did n't really have a choice . dr. neville : do n't minimize it . this was a fight , and she never stopped fighting . not just for herself -- for you and your child , not to mention the countless thousands of patients that this treatment might help . abby : that 's why you stepped down as c.e.o . , because you were sick ? devon : hello . hilary : hi . devon : what 's going on here ? stitch : uh , we just , you know , talking about -- ashley : that 's okay . hilary already knew that i was sick . devon : what do you mean , you 're sick ? abby : i thought that dr. neville was the only one who knew . ashley : well , hilary found out , and then she was more than happy to keep my secret , right ? devon : honey ? hilary : i was n't at liberty to say . devon : is this how you took over the project ? you used what you knew to get ashley to step down ? chelsea : hey , which one do you think ? the limpet shell or the serenity ? sage : well , why ca n't we just call it light blue and lighter blue ? chelsea : because then we could n't charge thousands of dollars for them . [ both laugh ] sage : um , serenity , then . chelsea : great . perfect . thank you . sage : yeah . you know , i should really be thanking you , chelsea . i really needed this today . chelsea : well , you seemed eager to dive back into work . i was kind of surprised . when i originally offered you the job ... sage : yeah , well , everything 's changed . [ clears throat ] shawn had her baby yesterday , and she and david -- that 's his name -- uh , they 're gone . chelsea : gone ? sage : yeah , she , uh , she wanted to keep her kid , so the adoption 's not really gon na happen . paul : you spoke to dylan about this ? what could he possibly do ? nikki : well , there must be something . paul : nikki , victor was sentenced by a judge and a jury . there 's no getting around that . nikki : no , i 'm not asking to have his sentence overturned . i am simply asking to have him transferred to a different prison where he does n't have to live with the constant threat of violence . paul : okay . was victor able to identify the man who attacked him ? i mean , that would be the first step in addressing this , you know . nikki : he -- he refused to talk to me about it , or anybody else . paul : what about the warden ? does he know anything ? nikki : i do n't know . i was hoping that dylan could get him to open up . we need that information . paul : i really do n't see victor giving up the name of the guy who attacked him . and frankly , he has good reason not to say anything . nikki : why ? why do you say that ? paul : because there 's no guarantee of him being transferred . even if he tells all . nobody likes a snitch . he would be safer if he were just to keep to himself and not make any more enemies , if you know what i mean . nikki : [ sighs ] adam : well , you do n't look good , but you look better than i thought you would look . is that why you called me here ? to -- to show me that , uh , you ca n't be stopped , not even with a knife wound ? victor : i did n't call you here ... to show you how good i feel . i called you here because ... it 's just a question of time before i will be attacked again . adam : yeah , no , i mean , you know , that 's -- that 's a good bet . guys like you and me are n't treated well in prison . victor : you would know about that , would n't you ? adam : i would . but you got an ace up your sleeve , though , dad . i mean , billions , actually . why do n't you use some of that money and , uh , pay for protection ? i 'm sure there 's a con in there that would be willing to protect you for the right price . victor : you know who wants to protect me ? ian ward . adam : [ chuckling ] wow . yeah , yeah , yeah . no , he 's a sweetheart . he loves to help , does n't he ? loves to help . i thought we were done with that guy . victor : your unholy alliance with that sociopath ... almost brought our company to the knees before . now ... [ sighs ] he just may end up killing me . adam : and there it is . so that 's why i 'm here -- so that you can guilt - trip me , right ? victor : no . adam : well , then why am i here ? victor : in case something happens to me ... i want you to avenge me . abby : you blackmailed my mom ? who does that ? devon : how could you keep this from me ? stitch : instead of telling everybody she was sick -- hilary : stop , stop ! all i did was urge ashley to step down so she could focus on her health . that 's all . stitch : [ scoffs ] devon : ashley , did she force your hand ? dr. neville : absolutely . the only way that ashley could be sure of hilary 's silence about the illness was by agreeing to step down . stitch : come on . how could you do this ? ashley : ben , do n't waste your breath . honestly , hilary wo n't care anyway . besides , now that i 'm well , i 'm gon na have a much stronger presence around here . hilary : oh , you 're well ? that 's -- that 's wonderful . stitch : yeah , stop acting like you care . hilary : of course i care . i think you 're all forgetting that i had to fight for my life , too . this is wonderful news . it 's wonderful news for the project . dr. neville 's cure worked for the second time , and i fast - tracked the fda testing . dr. neville : you did what ? hilary : exciting , right ? so , if we can all stop quibbling about who knew what , we can move forward . devon : we ca n't do that . i want to talk to you in the office right now . hilary : what ? why ? dr. neville : as much as i hate to admit that hilary 's correct about anything , she does have a point . we do have a lot to celebrate . abby : that 's gon na have to wait . i need a word alone with my mother . sharon : sage , um , i had no idea you would be here . sage : it 's all right . obviously you heard the news . sharon : i did , and i 'm so sorry . chelsea : yeah . me , too . my heart is broken for you and nick . i know how much you both wanted this baby . sage : yeah . even though i knew shawn could change her mind , ultimately , um , it 's hard . but ... we 're gon na be fine . just got to focus on work right now . chelsea : well , then we 'll work . sharon : you know , i was n't planning on bringing sully here , but , um , he had a doctor 's appointment -- teething . and then i would have left him with the sitter , but i just -- i wanted to keep him close because he 's a little clingy when he is n't feeling well . chelsea : connor 's the same way . um , you know what ? why do n't you bring him home , and sage and i can pull the looks for the photo shoot ? it 's totally fine . sharon : you know , that 's probably a good idea . sage : sharon , i - i want you to stay . i know you 're both trying to be considerate . i appreciate that . but i 'm fine . actually , i 'd like to be around sully . i - i find it comforting . sharon : okay . great . uh , we 'll stay . dylan : i 'm sorry it took me awhile to get back to you . nikki : how did your talk with victor go ? dylan : [ sighs ] he gave me nothing . no information at all . nikki : without that , we have no case to get him transferred . paul : afraid not . nikki : i knew he was gon na react this way . i - i just was hoping that maybe -- dylan : you know victor does n't like to ask for help from anybody . nikki : i know . paul : did he sound like he was gon na try and deal with this all by himself ? nikki : oh , god , i hope not . if he starts a fight in there , they could all gang up on him and kill him . dylan : yeah , well , i warned him not to go looking for payback . paul : and he did n't listen . dylan : and he said he 's gon na handle things his way . nikki : [ sighs ] he wo n't back down . i can tell you that right now . [ sighs ] he 's just gon na make this whole nightmare more difficult . i ca n't bear the thought of getting another phone call from that warden telling me that my husband has been hurt or ... worse . adam : what is this ? a game ? victor : it 's no game . while i stay in prison ... one of two things will happen . either they manage to kill me ... or i kill the bastards who are after me . either way ... my life is over . whether i 'm six feet under or , you know , i 'll be behind bars forever . adam : okay , well , that 's a pretty fatalistic view for a guy who threatened to come back and best us all . victor : it 's not fatalistic . it 's realistic , okay ? if ian ward manages to kill me , i want you to exact revenge . adam : okay , why -- why me ? victor : [ sighs ] maybe as penance for bringing that son of a bitch back into our lives through paragon . adam : [ sighs ] okay , well , that 's fair enough . what do you want me to do ? victor : should i get killed , i want you to rid this world of ian ward once and for all . i want you to kill him . [ door opens ] victor : you 'll take care of that , wo n't you ? nick : thank god you 're okay . when i heard ... what 's going on ? what are you doing here ? your radiologist . dr. neville : i have no doubt that ashley 's latest mri will confirm what we already know . however , i would n't mind stopping by at memorial myself and reviewing it for you . ashley : okay , i 'd appreciate that . stitch : and while we 're there , i 'd like you to walk me through your findings -- treatment , everything . dr. neville : by all means , lead the way , dr. rayburn . stitch : okay ? abby : yeah . see you later . stitch : okay . ashley : i ca n't imagine what you 're feeling , honey . abby : you could have died . and when i think about this whole year , it could have been the last year that we had together . and you were planning this dream wedding for me with all of these special touches , with -- with the handkerchief from grandpa john to remind me of my family , where i come from , the people who love me . ashley : i do n't want you to get upset , okay ? abby : and when you said that you were proud of me and that ben was always gon na love me and support me no matter what , you were saying that because you thought it might be goodbye . ashley : honey , we do n't have to worry about that now . abby : i hate this day . finding out that i could have lost you on the same day i could have lost my dad . ashley : what are you talking about ? what happened to victor ? abby : he was stabbed . ashley : oh , my god ! abby : at prison . yeah . ashley : is he gon na be okay ? abby : he 's gon na be fine . but you know what ? i 'm not okay . everything keeps changing and shifting , with -- with work , with dad , with max , with -- with ben , and -- and this new baby . and the whole time , you were going through this mega crisis , and i had no idea . and then i - i keep thinking ... ashley : what ? what are you thinking ? abby : i hate what i 'm thinking . ashley : honey , maybe i 'm gon na hate what you 're thinking , too , but i -- tell me . abby : is there another reason why you did n't tell me you were sick ? is there something else you were hiding ? ashley : what are you talking about ? abby : did you stay away from ben and encourage him to be with me because you thought you were dying ? look , i know that you said that -- that you did n't have feelings for him anymore . but maybe you did . maybe you had feelings for him the whole time , and -- and if you were well , then you would have pursued it . him . maybe . devon : and then you used ashley 's illness to dethrone her ? hilary : well , it 's a good thing that i did . devon : and why would you say that ? hilary : she was n't up to the job , devon . i found her passed out at her desk . devon : and you thought that was just the perfect opportunity to advance your career . hilary : it was in ashley 's best interest to step back . devon : it sounds like a convenient excuse , hilary . hilary : that woman was dying , devon , and i 'm the one that got the fda to fast- track our work . me ! this company needs a leader who can fully devote themselves to the cause . why ca n't you see that ? devon : 'cause what i see is that you did what was best for you , and that 's it . and that 's kind of what you always do . hilary : well , maybe that 's because i have to . [ scoffs ] it 's not like i can count on my husband to have my back , not after you sabotaged me with neil . devon : oh , boy . are we back to that ? hilary : what you did to me was no different than what you claim i did to ashley . no , actually , it was worse . you sabotaged your own wife , so you can get down off your high horse , because you are no better than me ! nikki : yes , victor did a terrible thing . but does he have to pay for it with his life ? there 's got to be something else we can do . paul : well , uh , i know a few guards at the prison . they 're good men . i 'll ask them to keep an eye on victor . nikki : okay , good . thank you . paul : i ca n't guarantee they 're gon na keep him safe , but it 's the ... the best i can do right now . nikki : well , it 's something . and thank you for talking to victor . i know he 's not one of your favorite people . but i love him , and the rest of the family still loves him . we 'll do anything to help him , whether he believes that or not . adam : well , nick , i did n't expect you to pop by , either . i guess dad being ambushed brings out the best in all of us , huh ? or at least our need to see it firsthand . nick : what 's going on ? victor : son , what are you doing here ? you 're a dead man to me , okay ? nick : dad , come on . victor : you all are dead to me . all of you testified against me . what do you mean , you 're concerned about me now ? you kidding ? nick : of course we 're concerned . you almost died . mom 's worried sick . victor : i do n't give a damn . nick : you should not push mom away . she 's only trying to help . victor : she 's trying to help ? are you serious ? her testimony helped put me behind bars , okay ? so do n't you worry about a thing . i 've got the situation handled . nikki : i appreciate everything you can do to help . dylan : you 'll be okay getting home ? nikki : i 'm fine . dylan : okay . nikki : thanks again . dylan : okay . paul : bye , nik . take care . nikki : thank you , paul . thank you . paul : all right . dylan : [ sighs ] man , i wish i could find a way to fix this . paul : all right , well , that 's one thing i learned the hard way . you ca n't do everything for everybody . dylan : that sounds like you 're saying you do n't want me to do more . paul : that 's exactly what i 'm saying . dylan : well , you just saw how this is affecting nikki . you expect me just to stand by and do -- paul : i want you to do everything you possibly can for your mother . what i do n't want is you getting involved in another newman mess like all the other newman children . dylan : well , how 's that gon na happen ? victor 's not my father . you are . paul : right . that 's why you should listen to me , because i have your best interests at heart . you need to look at what you 've got going on right now . a lot of great things . dylan : i know that . i do . but i just -- paul : okay . so take a step back and realize that there 's not much we can do right now . stitch : now , i 'm looking over your research . this -- this seems solid . dr. neville : i think so . stitch : for ashley to have been that sick for that long ... dr. neville : made the treatment that much more difficult , yes . stitch : oh , my god . so when we were trapped in the newman fire , she knew she might be dying . if i 'd only known that -- dr. neville : what ? if you had only known , what ? stitch : i would have moved mountains to save her , stood by her side , whatever she needed . dr. neville : and you would have lost your wife . ashley : i promise you , regardless of my health , nothing was going to happen between ben and me . abby : you say that now . ashley : he loves you , and you love him , and i knew then just like i know now that the two of you are meant to be together . abby : you really had moved on ? ashley : absolutely . you know how happy i am that you 've moved on , that you got married , you 're starting your own family ? and i get to be there . i get to meet my first grandchild . i get to be in your lives , and that 's what kept me going . it kept me fighting . abby : mom , i have to ask . there 's -- there 's nothing else that you 're hiding from me , right ? ashley : nothing , honey . no more secrets . abby : i love you , mom . ashley : i love you , baby . devon : your actions and my actions are not comparable at all because you did what you did to elevate yourself . hilary : i did this for you , for the company . devon : and you thought to hell with everybody else ? hilary : no , no , that is not true ! devon : it 's very true , okay ? you knew that ashley was sick and that neville was treating her and that his results were uncertain at best . hilary : he saved me ! devon : i understand that , but there 's no guarantee with any of it . none ! and you kept pushing to try and release neville 's cure just to capitalize on the buzz . hilary : you agreed . devon : yeah , i agreed , 'cause i was trying to do right by my wife ! this is why i went to neil and asked him to keep you off the board , because i 'm trying to bring you back down to earth . hilary : what is so damn great about being down on the ground with everyone else ? i like reaching for the stars , devon . devon : at what cost , though , honey ? hilary : i could have done incredible things for that foundation , just like i 'm doing incredible things here . thank god i am the one running this project ! devon : well , you can say that after -- hilary : oh , who better ? you ? ashley ? that nitwit abby ? [ scoffs ] neville ? if it was up to one of you , we would still be inching towards the starting line instead of celebrating this tremendous breakthrough ! god , if you do not get that , then you just need to get out of the game . devon : you think you can push me out of here ? hilary : devon , i - i did n't -- devon : you did n't what ? hilary : [ sighs ] devon : 'cause i know i do n't have to remind you how all this is up and running . without my funding , there would be no neville , there 'd be no lab , no research , no cure . and if ashley would have died , this company would be decimated . it 'd be gone . hilary : i refuse to believe that . devon : that 's -- that 's not really a surprise to me . for the record , i 'm not gon na let you push me out , and i 'm not gon na go anywhere . hilary : well , if you 're so mad at me , then why not ? devon : because i love you too much to do something like that . and i 'm gon na do everything i can to save you from yourself . stitch : abby would have been right there by my side working to save ashley 's life . my marriage would be just as strong as it is today . dr. neville : and why is it i ca n't help wondering about your feelings for ashley , past and present ? stitch : how is that any of your business ? dr. neville : ben , if you still have feelings for abby 's mother , you need to tell me . that needs to be on the table . stitch : and why is this your concern ? dr. neville : because nothing is going to interfere with my treatment . i 've got good news , and it 's hard won . you 've seen the data . surely you realize that this is a delicate process . stitch : [ sighs ] you know , i do n't have feelings for ashley . but you do . my god . admit it . ashley 's more than a patient to you . you 're falling in love with her . ashley : do you forgive me ? i 'm sorry if i hurt your feelings . the very last thing i wanted to do was cause you pain . abby : of course i forgive you . i 'm not happy about the way you handled this , but i know you were just trying to protect me . ashley : right . and , actually , that 's what a mom does , and you 're gon na be experiencing that soon . abby : only thing i 'm experiencing right now is morning sickness and moodiness . ashley : what about max ? i mean , you 're his mom now . abby : not according to him . ashley : he 's gon na come around . and then just you wait . when you have this baby , your maternal instincts are gon na kick in like you wo n't believe , and you will do everything you can to protect your child . sharon : would you like to hold sully ? sage : really ? you would n't mind ? sharon : oh , my goodness . of course not . sully loves you . aunt sage wants to say hi to you . sage : hi . oh , you 're so perfect . oh . oh . oh . nick : so you got it handled ? you have any idea what he means by that ? adam : me ? no . hell no . i gave up a long time ago trying to figure out what goes on in his head , you know ? nick : well , whatever is going on , clearly you do n't want to talk about it with me . victor : you can show yourselves out now , please . nick : all right , dad , just stop . tell me if you 're okay . victor : i told you i 'm handling this . i 'm okay . adam : he 's okay , so , you know , uh , gee , speedy recovery ? victor : just get out . nick : dad . victor : son , please get out now . [ inhales deeply ] [ exhales deeply ] nick : we need to talk about this . adam : no . nope . i 'm gon na get home to my wife . nick : i know you did n't just happen to stop by to check on dad . adam : what are you presuming , nick ? nick : you keep saying you 're done with dad and newman , yet here you are . what 's going on ? [ next_on ] victoria : this is the last thing that i need . nick : at least you wo n't be doing it alone . i 'm here to offer you my help . chelsea : what did victor say ? what did he promise you ? or worse , what did you agree to ? adam : can we talk about this later ? chelsea : no . i want to talk about it now .Summarize.[/INST]at the club , devon admitted he 'd told neil not to give hilary a job on the board because he thought she only wanted to use the position to raise her social standing . hilary was furious . at the hospital , sharon told dylan that she was uneasy about nurse steven 's interest in sully . the nurse 's record was clean , so dylan and sharon agreed to stop the investigation . victor called adam to the hospital and told him about ian 's threats . victor was concerned ian would kill him . victor asked adam to kill ian if ian succeeded . nick came to check on victor , but victor said nick was dead to him . nick was worried about victor , but victor said he had it under control , then he threw his sons out of the room . victor noticed that his wound was bleeding . nick accused adam of being in cahoots with victor . ben told abby that victor was stabbed . abby was angry that none of the newmans told her . abby answered a call from ashley 's doctor and learned about her illness . ashley and simon arrived , and ashley fessed up about the brain tumor and simon 's cure . devon and hilary arrived , and the truth about hilary blackmailing ashley came out .</s> | 16,801 |

[ scene_break ] brady : she predicted you would do this , dad . that you would make it all about you and your issues with her . john : whoa , that 's not what i 'm doing , kid . brady : what you 're doing is you 're trying to destroy the very thing that has made me happier than i 've been in a long time , and i get it . i understand . i understand your history with her -- john : no , you do n't get the history , because if you got -- brady : kristen is trying to make a better life for herself than she had before . john : come on , open your eyes , kid . you 're not the first man who 's tried to see the good in kristen . brady : no . no , i 'm not . and i was just as suspicious as you were when she came back into town . but if you recall , you were the one that told me she had changed , dad . you persuaded me that she was different , that she was no longer a threat . you remember this ? john : yeah , yeah , well , you know what , i was wrong . i made a horrible mistake . i just did n't see the truth , just like you 're not seeing it right now . brady : no , you saw the truth when you found out that i was sleeping with her . john : oh , no , no , no . do n't even start with that . brady : dad , this is so obvious , it 's ridiculous . your change of heart occurred when you found out that she and i were together . john : oh , will you stop that kind of thinking ? you 're not together . she seduced you , and it 's not too late for you to get out of this mess . brady : you hate the fact that i care about somebody that you used to care about . john : oh , for god 's sakes , kid , i ca n't believe i 'm even hearing this . brady : do you still want her ? john : of course not . brady : then let her go ! john : i did that 15 years ago . brady : let her go ! john : i got out , and i 'm not gon na stand by and watch you ruin your life with her . brady : it 's just painful for you because i 'm the one that wants her . and the fact is , dad -- the truth is , it would n't matter who it was . because you ca n't stomach the idea of anybody else being with her except you . john : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] sami : so i can assume your assistant will not be fired tomorrow . you know , i may even give the champ a raise . he 's done everything that i asked for and a little bit more actually . sami : why your office ? ej : well , in a restaurant , i thought new year 's eve would be a little bit busy and noisy . my apartment for a first date seemed somewhat aggressive . sami : i do n't know if we qualify for , um , first date status , ej . ej : oh , um , i do n't know about that . not in this iteration anyway . the menu the chef has selected is comprised of everything that i know you love . i had the privilege of spending the better part of two hours this afternoon talking to a sommelier in france . and of course the view ... is the finest in salem . sami : as it should be . ej : i was n't talking about that one . i meant you .

[ scene_break ] marlena : i 'm not getting anything straight with somebody so twisted . kristen : you know , you 've barged in on me , what , three times ? yeah , three times . do n't you think you owe me an explanation as to why you 're behaving so erratically ? marlena : do n't even try it with me . i know all about your plan to get even with john . kristen : mm , how sweet of him to talk to you about me . marlena : game over . you 've self - destructed . kristen : i do n't think so . mm - mm , i 'm feeling pretty empowered . marlena : i 'm thinking annihilated . because once john tells brady what an evil wretch you are , and once brady understands that you 've been using him to get revenge to hurt john and to hurt me , and you 've been degrading him in the most horrible way , you wo n't wan na see the sunrise in salem again . [ scene_break ] john : what you do n't know about ... kristen dimera ... is that she has an insatiable appetite for revenge . ever since she came back to salem , she 's had a motive . now , it 's a stated one . she wants to harm me . she wants to harm marlena the same way she feels we harmed her all those years ago . and so to achieve that end , she went after you . kid , she thought the only way she could get to me was through my son . and she pulled it off . i hate to say this , but you 're just an unsuspecting pawn in this elaborate chess game she devised years ago . and it 's not your fault . she 's brilliant . she 's -- she 's -- she 's patient , she 's seductive , and she is the most conniving , black - hearted person i have ever known . and given my life , kid , that is saying a lot . so ... do n't let her ruin us . do n't let her ruin us , kid . brady : you 're saying that everything kristen has done is a plot , that every experience i 've had with her is a lie , that every feeling that i 've ever felt for her is a complete falsehood because it 's all part of some scenario to get back at you and marlena ? that 's what you 're telling me ? john : that 's exactly what i 'm saying . listen , kid , your affair with kristen dimera is gon na end tonight . forever . [ scene_break ] kristen : boy , your first language really is melodrama , is n't it ? marlena : everybody 's on to you now , not just me . kristen : you know , i can only assume that john 's big revelation as to who he thinks i really am is a result of you finally telling him how long you 've kept the truth of my liaison with brady a secret from him , right ? oh , my god ! you lied to him again ? marlena : step away from the door , i want -- kristen : what , you wan na do damage control again ? did you ever think that maybe , given how upset john is about my relationship with his son , that maybe he would have wanted to know just a little sooner before brady 's and my deep feelings for each other became so apparent ? i mean , you know ... before the electricity between us became so blindingly obvious ? marlena : wow , you really are disgusting . kristen : speaking of blindingly obvious , did you ever think maybe john 's lying to you ? marlena : john does not lie to me . kristen : oh , yeah , he would definitely lie to you . i mean , to protect your extremely fragile ego , he would lie to you . i mean , at the very least , maybe a lie of omission . maybe he kept some of what i confessed to him from you , i do n't know , maybe . marlena : no , he would n't do that . kristen : oh , yes , he would because his ego is as big as all outdoors . and he ca n't wrap his brain around the thought that i , somebody that he was crazy about -- yeah , he was crazy about me -- could actually love another . you see , he is as jealous and irrational about me as you are . marlena : john is not irrational , and he does not distort the truth . kristen : as much as i love confrontation , it 's kind of a moot point , is n't it ? i mean , really , the only question that remains is whose version of the truth is brady gon na believe , yours or mine ? [ scene_break ] brady : she predicted you would do this , dad . that you would make it all about you and your issues with her . john : whoa , that 's not what i 'm doing , kid . brady : what you 're doing is you 're trying to destroy the very thing that has made me happier than i 've been in a long time , and i get it . i understand . i understand your history with her -- john : no , you do n't get the history , because if you got -- brady : kristen is trying to make a better life for herself than she had before . john : come on , open your eyes , kid . you 're not the first man who 's tried to see the good in kristen . brady : no . no , i 'm not . and i was just as suspicious as you were when she came back into town . but if you recall , you were the one that told me she had changed , dad . you persuaded me that she was different , that she was no longer a threat . you remember this ? john : yeah , yeah , well , you know what , i was wrong . i made a horrible mistake . i just did n't see the truth , just like you 're not seeing it right now . brady : no , you saw the truth when you found out that i was sleeping with her . john : oh , no , no , no . do n't even start with that . brady : dad , this is so obvious , it 's ridiculous . your change of heart occurred when you found out that she and i were together . john : oh , will you stop that kind of thinking ? you 're not together . she seduced you , and it 's not too late for you to get out of this mess . brady : you hate the fact that i care about somebody that you used to care about . john : oh , for god 's sakes , kid , i ca n't believe i 'm even hearing this . brady : do you still want her ? john : of course not . brady : then let her go ! john : i did that 15 years ago . brady : let her go ! john : i got out , and i 'm not gon na stand by and watch you ruin your life with her . brady : it 's just painful for you because i 'm the one that wants her . and the fact is , dad -- the truth is , it would n't matter who it was . because you ca n't stomach the idea of anybody else being with her except you . john : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] sami : so i can assume your assistant will not be fired tomorrow . you know , i may even give the champ a raise . he 's done everything that i asked for and a little bit more actually . sami : why your office ? ej : well , in a restaurant , i thought new year 's eve would be a little bit busy and noisy . my apartment for a first date seemed somewhat aggressive . sami : i do n't know if we qualify for , um , first date status , ej . ej : oh , um , i do n't know about that . not in this iteration anyway . the menu the chef has selected is comprised of everything that i know you love . i had the privilege of spending the better part of two hours this afternoon talking to a sommelier in france . and of course the view ... is the finest in salem . sami : as it should be . ej : i was n't talking about that one . i meant you . [ scene_break ] rafe : i do n't understand your motives . nicole : i am motive - free , sir . rafe : oh , come on . you can not stand sami . now why did you go to all the trouble to make sure that i was with her at midnight , hmm ? nicole : okay , couple of things . one , i am trying to be a better person in the new year and beyond , and that means doing a couple good deeds here and there . and you know , the other thing is -- mm , ca n't believe i 'm gon na say this , but , um ... you know , the best version of sami i 've ever seen is the version of her with you . rafe : wow . nicole : mm - hmm . rafe : that was actually nice . nicole : thank you , it was . and i would n't wish ej on any woman , not even sami . so are you gon na tell me what happened already ? rafe : we wished each other a happy new year . nicole : and ? rafe : we kissed . nicole : [ grunts ] [ laughing ] [ scene_break ] gabi : so i was thinking that maybe we could start off 2013 with a clean slate . sonny : meaning what exactly ? gabi : well , i mean , i know that we probably ca n't be , um , friends like we used to be , but ... maybe we could learn to tolerate each other for will , right ? i mean , is n't this -- is n't he the person that we care about most throughout all of this ? [ scene_break ] nick : you 're , uh -- you 're gon na ... beat the bigotry out of me . that 's , uh -- that 's very creative , will . i 'm shaking in my boots . will : how is gabi doing with your homophobia ? huh ? or did you somehow convince her that the `` gay boy `` comment was just a slip of the tongue ? nick : okay . look , will , things got really heated , okay ? because of the baby and , uh , the secret , and i regret that i , uh -- that i used that expression , okay ? i really did n't mean to offend you . i think we 're all really tense right now and , um -- i 'm really sorry , why are you smiling ? will : no , i was just thinking -- i mean , if you really mean that , then , uh , it 's all good . nick : of course i mean it . will : okay . nick : okay . will : because we all want what 's best for the baby , right ? nick : yeah , definitely . will : then there 's just one problem though . um , if i thought for a second that my child was gon na be raised by a bigot , that would n't be best for the baby . and i could n't stand for that . i would n't let that person anywhere near my child . [ scene_break ] nicole : you kissed sami ? oh ! [ whispering ] sorry .

[ scene_break ] nick : are you threatening me , will ? will : no . i 'm just stating a fact . my child will not be raised by a homophobe . nick : hmm . okay . let 's get a couple of things clear right now , hmm ? gabi was an emotional wreck when i met her , okay ? will : mm , no , she was n't . nick : you were n't there . will , you were n't there . i was the one she was opening up to , and she was in a really bad place , okay ? and that 's because you confused the hell out of her . now i understand that people make mistakes . i used to be the king of them , okay ? but if you are gon na stand over us and threaten to take the baby away every time that we do n't do things the way will would 've done them , then we 've got a really big problem here , do n't we ? will : you know , i 'm trying to see the point that you 're trying to make , and i -- nick : oh , i thought -- i thought that i made it pretty clear . what i 'm saying is that i 'm not going to let you make me and gabi 's life crazy and hell for the next 18 years . do you understand that ? [ scene_break ] sonny : i care about will a lot . so yeah , i 'll do anything for him . gabi : good . sonny : including learning to tolerate you . and like i said , gabi ... if you hurt him , you 're gon na have to deal with me . so watch yourself . [ scene_break ] nick : come here . i understand that you did n't plan this . i understand that gabi did n't either obviously . but nobody put a gun to your head about this decision you made about the baby , all right ? you agreed . you agreed to it , to let your boyfriend and everybody else think that this was my baby . will : that does not mean that i ca n't weigh in on -- nick : oh , it does . it does mean that you ca n't weigh in on anything , will . period . so listen to me when i say this . and just so you do n't get all offended again , this has nothing to do with you being gay , okay ? but you 've got ta man up and stand by the decision you made . will : you 're not hearing what i 'm saying . nick : i 'm hearing you . i am hearing you , will . and i heard you say that you were tossed around like a little football when you were a kid and that you do n't want that for this one . so let us be . this kid will be ours . gabi and mine . and we 're gon na be amazing parents . [ scene_break ] marlena : i did n't want this war with you , kristen . but now it 's on . i love brady . he 's as much a member of my family as my own flesh and blood , and i will stand firm with john and not let you hurt him . kristen : you know ... he is a grown - ass man if you have n't noticed . marlena : you know what i 've noticed ? you are a vile , despicable woman . now move . and if you try that stunt again , you 'll be leaving here on a gurney . kristen : look at you ! it 's good to see you still have some fight left in you ... even in your dotage . marlena : phew . we 're done here . kristen : oh , it 's funny .
