chelsea : nick , there is no way chloe could do something so horrific . nick : chelsea , there are just too many questions about the night that the cabin exploded . chelsea : i do n't want to go there , okay ? i -- i ca n't . nick : you have to . chelsea , you have to . if this is true , if chloe killed adam , then she is not as sane as we thought . she could hurt someone else . victor : you honestly believe you 're gon na live happily ever after ? you 're more delusional than i thought . chloe : i am not delusion , victor . i have proof . i have everything i 've ever wanted . victor : well , you enjoy that as long as it lasts , all right ? chloe : well , it 's going to last forever . now , i know that the idea of having a loving , loyal family is a foreign idea to you . after all , you did frame your son for murder . victor : do n't bring up adam 's name , please . chloe : i pushed a button . you do n't like that , do you ? victor : let me ask you something . how happy do you think kevin will be once he finds out that you came back to genoa city to help me put adam behind bars ? chloe : wait . are you -- are you actually trying to threaten to nuke my marriage ? because i know your secrets , too , and do n't think that i wo n't hesitate to obliterate your life . sharon : thanks for all your help with my psych paper ! scott : you 're , uh , welcome ? sharon : that was sarcasm . scott : i got it . i do n't get it , but i got it . what 's the problem ? sharon : my grade . take a look , mr . genius writer . scott : you got an a - minus . devon : are you , uh , changing your relationship status , is that what you 're doing ? mariah : [ laughing ] no ! noah is reminding me about the open mic night . devon : uh - huh . okay . mariah : have you changed your relationship status ? devon : well , not online , but i have in here and here . mariah : oh , that 's a bad line ! devon : thought it was kind of smooth . mariah : no ! okay , first official date . devon : yes . mariah : thoughts ? devon : uh , thoughts . it 's got to be something memorable , right ? mariah : right , but not lobster - with - stinky - moldy - cheese memorable . devon : no stink and mold ? killing all my best moves ! [ both laugh ] jordan : mm , i -- i should n't have done that . [ sighs ] hilary : well , i am -- i 'm not complaining . it was definitely a confidence boost . jordan : you think that 's why i kissed you ? hilary : well , that or to shut me up . jordan : no . i kissed you because you 're smokin ' hot and i could n't keep my hands off of you . hilary : [ laughs ] jordan : listen to me . it 's true . there 's a fire in your eyes , and i did n't care if i got burned . i just wanted to get close to you and kiss you . but that was completely unprofessional of me . you hired me to do a job . [ sighs ] hilary : well , did you get the shots that you wanted ? jordan : yeah . more than enough . hilary : good . because the office is empty . the doors are locked . so ... if you feel like playing with fire ... let 's light it up . victor : how we doing ? where 's the fanfare ? where 's the music ? i liked it . nikki : oh , well , i 'm afraid it 's over , but i had so much fun playing with tessa and reed . victor : i know you did . i could see it on your face . nikki : mm . like when i look at you . victor : so , where did victoria find this teacher ? nikki : she did n't . i did . can you believe tessa was playing outside the coffeehouse for tips ? victor : in other words , you brought a stranger into the house ? reed : there is an open mic tonight . are you in ? tessa : honestly , you could use a few more lessons before taking the stage . reed : really ? tessa : you 're good , reed , but there 's a difference between playing in your grandmother 's living room and performing in front a live crowd . reed : that 's why i thought you could go . i mean , you could get up there and show me how a pro works . tessa : what 's the underground like ? is it legit , or is it just for teen wannabes ? reed : no , it 's totally legit . i mean , there are always a ton of really talented musicians . and every night it 's packed full . tessa : i do n't know ... reed : you 're guaranteed a spot . my uncle owns the place and my cousin emcees every night . tessa : so , what , your whole family 's into music ? reed : well , mainly grandma and noah . everybody else , not so much . tessa : mm . reed : except my uncle nick kind of ... he sings , like , old boy band tunes when he drives , but i think he just does that to annoy me . tessa : [ chuckles ] hmm . scott : not to be rude , but it sounded like you did n't expect to do well on that paper anyway , so , i mean , an a - minus , you should be ecstatic about that . sharon : well , it 's your a - minus . i do b work , and now my professor is going to have expectations of me , expectations that i ca n't meet , and i do n't need that kind of pressure on top of everything else in my life . scott : you know , i think i know what 's really going on . sharon : really ? then why do n't you write an essay on it and let me finish bussing tables ? scott : sharon . sharon . just have a seat . sharon : [ exhales sharply ] scott : please . listen , you are a bright , determined , capable woman . sharon : you can tell all that from one paper ? scott : you run a successful business ! you 're a single mother . you 're a student . i mean , some people ca n't even manage to do one of those things , and you 're juggling all three and succeeding . i mean , of course you 're gon na be overwhelmed . i mean , that 's normal . my suggestion is when this happens , just go find a nice quiet spot . just take five minutes and ... reset . and if that does n't work , give me a call . i 'm happy to give you as many pep talks as you need , you know ? how you feeling now ? sharon : a lot better . thank you . scott : there you go . sharon : is there anything i can do for you ? scott : uh ... how about , um , a refill ? sharon : you got it . you know , i 'm sorry . i was so caught up in my own problems , i did n't ask you -- is there any word on your friend ? scott : ahmed ? yeah , he 's -- he 's safe ! sharon : well , that 's ... scott : yeah , he 's back with his family . sharon : um , well , i 'm glad that all worked out , that both of you are home , safe , with loved ones . so ... what now ? you have plans to jet - set off somewhere else on another assignment ? scott : actually , i 'm thinking of taking work that 's gon na keep me in town . sharon : oh ! what is it ? scott : i 'm writing victor newman 's autobiography . that 's good . yep . chelsea : chloe know clothing , okay ? um , hemlines and scoop - neck shirts . i do n't believe she knows how to blow up a cabin and cover her tracks so that the police do n't find any evidence . nick : she pulled a gun on adam at her daughter 's memorial service . she ran him over with her car in front of the courthouse . she is capable of more things than we ever imagined . chelsea : and she has worked very hard to get better . this is -- this is ridiculous . i would know , okay ? i would know if she was responsible for killing my husband . i 'm very good at reading people . nick : sometimes the people we trust are able to make us turn a blind eye to what is right in front of us . chelsea : no . no . she 's my best friend . we work together . we take our children to the park together . we sit on this couch and we drink wine and we eat ice cream and watch bad movies and talk about our deepest hopes and our deepest fears . there 's no way all of that has been a lie . there 's no way ! chloe : i am so happy you 're home . kevin : mm . well , after that greeting , so am i . hey , what do you say we get into some comfy clothes , make some popcorn , and binge on a show ? chloe : i want to get married . kevin : we are , remember ? i asked you , got down on one knee , the whole thing ... you obviously said yes . chloe : i want to get married tonight . nikki : darling , i did n't give her the gate code nor did i give her the combination to the safe , and the only keys she 'll be using while she 's here are the ones on the piano . victor : now , you know that our family has been a target , okay , many times before . so why do n't i run a background check on her ? nikki : oh ! totally unnecessary , victor . victor : no , it 's not . nikki : i 'm a good judge of character . i mean , just because she 's struggling right now does n't mean that she 's a thief . and you and i both know what it 's like to be without and the big difference it makes when somebody believes in you . victor : sweetheart , she 's a stranger . is she your new charity project , or what ? nikki : absolutely not . she did n't ask for a handout , i did n't offer her one . all i did was offer her a job teaching reed music . victor : okay . nikki : she 's very talented . reed likes her . i like her . i mean , is there gon na be a problem here ? victor : okay , baby . nikki : mmm . [ kissing sounds ] victor : anyway , she 's your responsibility . i have some other concerns . nikki : oh ! well , thanks for the vote of confidence . victor : yeah . i trust your judgment . nikki : what are you so serious about ? victor : i 'm gon na ask you a question and i want you to answer honestly . nikki : okay . victor : do you think i 'm a truthful person ? kevin : you want to get married tonight ? chloe : it 'll be romantic . kevin : it 'll be impossible . the clerk 's office is closed . we 'd have no marriage license . chloe : let 's go to vegas . kevin : what ? chloe : yeah , you could -- you could borrow victor 's jet . i mean , he owes you one after you did him a solid for bringing back scott . kevin : i did that for scott , not victor . chloe : okay , how about michael ? michael can go online . he can become an ordained minister just like katherine did for us , and it 'll be just like our first wedding . kevin : two hours ago , you were telling me all the about the white dress , how you wanted bella to be your flower girl and chelsea to be your maid of honor . you knew the cake you wanted and the kind of flowers you wanted . now you want to just scrap all that and get married on a whim ? what is going on with you ? chloe : i was thinking about what you said earlier , and ... ... how life is unpredictable , and you 're right . you have no idea what 's gon na happen tomorrow . kevin : [ sighs ] my proposal freaked you out . that was not at all my intent . what i meant was you should n't put off letting people know how you feel . i did n't want to put off proposing to you one more day . but some things are worth waiting for , like giving you the wedding of your dreams . chloe : you 're stalling . kevin : [ laughs ] i 'm not . chloe : this is gloria 's fault . she 's convinced you to ditch me , has n't she ? reed : hey , man . noah : hey , reed ! who 's your friend ? reed : noah , this is tessa . tessa , noah . noah : hey . tessa : you 're reed 's cousin ? noah : correct . you are reed 's ... tessa : music teacher . noah : ah . welcome to the underground . are you gon na sign up to play ? tessa : oh , no . i 'm just here to watch tonight . reed : tessa , you really should . i mean , you 're amazing . dude , seriously . she 's really good . noah : yeah ? tessa : you 're embarrassing me , stop . reed : you know , she even had grandma jamming with us earlier . noah : oh , that sounds ... epic . reed : yeah , it was , and tessa , really ... all you have to do is sign up . tessa : maybe some other night . noah : all right , well , if you change your mind , i will put you on the top of the list . mariah : hey . reed : come here . mariah : hi ! what 's going on ? reed : i 'm trying to get my new music teacher to show off her skills , but ... tessa : tessa . i 'm not really prepared to sing tonight . mariah : well , go up last . you can practice in nick 's office -- problem solved . noah : this is mariah . she 's my pushy sister who has all the answers . that 's devon . devon : how you doing ? i am , uh ... mariah : he 's a billionaire . tessa : good one . [ laughs ] mariah : he is . it 's true . tessa : no way . wow . mariah : yeah . devon : yeah . what i was gon na say is i 'm -- mariah : he owns buildings . mm - hmm . and he owns tv shows . well , technically his ex - wife owns the tv show now 'cause he 's getting a divorce and i ca n't stop blurting things out . oh , my god , somebody help me . noah : allow me . come here . [ chuckles ] okay . what is going on ? mariah : with the blurting ? i do n't know . noah : yes . no , with devon . mariah : who ? okay , um ... we 're on a date . noah : you 're what ? mariah : we 're trying to keep it quiet . noah : okay , well , you 're gon na have a hard time keeping it a secret , especially with you being all smiley and in love . mariah : hey . cut it out , okay ? or else . noah : okay . truce . but you do look happy , and happy looks good on you , so ... i 'm all for you dating devon . jordan : all of this ... this ... ... is why the camera loves you . hilary : [ gasps ] love is -- [ moans ] not something that i want to think about right now . tessa : are you getting up onstage tonight ? mariah : me ? oh , no . no . i have -- i have zero musical talent . actually , less than zero . tessa : you ca n't be that bad . mariah : when i look at sheet music , the notes jump off the page because they 're scared that i 'm gon na sing them . tessa : okay , that is bad . [ laughs ] mariah : i just come to check out the new talent and upload videos to the `` gc buzz `` website . they have a section -- what is that look on your face ? tessa : oh , my god . you 're `` hell on heels ! `` faceplant mariah ! mariah : you 've seen the video . tessa : yeah , at least 1,000 times ! mariah : that 's great . tessa : oh , it is ! yeah . i mean , i would have laid on the floor and waited until they rolled up the carpet and carried me out , but ... you got back up and finished the show . you rock . mariah : i do n't really think so . tessa : god , everyone i meet in this town is rich and famous . mariah : whoa , whoa . i am not rich and i 'm not famous . at least not a - list famous . i 'm more like ... z - list famous . or v - list , you know . viral , video ... tessa : yeah . [ laughs ] [ scoffs ] i mean , how is a nobody like me gon na make it in this town ? everyone has so many connections . mariah : well , you know , i used to mop the floors and plunge the toilets at this very club , and now i 'm co - host of a tv show , so trust me , anything 's possible . nick : look , i get it that you do n't want to see the worst in chloe , but ... i 'm worried . i 'm worried about your safety . i 'm not gon na let anything happen to you or connor . chelsea : chloe would never hurt us . nick : she lied about that tracking device . she lied about being near the cabin when it exploded . chelsea : okay . just because her cell phone pinged nearby does not mean that she was in the cabin . nick : i mean you 're fighting pretty hard to prove she 's innocent . chelsea : yeah , and you 've already tried and convicted her ! we have to look at every possibility , nick . i do n't know , maybe her cell phone got stolen . maybe someone 's trying to frame her . it might sound crazy , but i mean , so does every other scenario . nick : you 're right . you 're right . we need definitive answers , and the only way that 's gon na happen is if we get the police involved , so i 'm gon na call paul . chelsea : no ! no ! you ca n't do that ! kevin : there is nothing in the world that i want more than to marry you . chloe : your `` i do `` sounds a lot more like `` i do n't ever want to . `` kevin : i meant every single word i said , and if you want me to ask you again , i will . my mom had no influence on me , at all . when have i ever listened to her , anyway ? chloe : it 's not just about gloria . you know ... i know what people say about me . i know what people think . kevin : [ scoffs ] what are you talking about ? what people ? chloe : everybody ! everybody acts all nice and friendly , but what they 're really thinking is `` crazy , party of one . `` kevin : that is not true . chloe : yes , it is . do you know that lydia 's parents wo n't even let her hang out with bella because of me ? kevin : that is ridiculous . i will call them and talk to them . chloe : well , it 's not gon na matter 'cause they will agree to a play date and then they 're gon na end up canceling . believe me , it happens more than i can count . [ sighs ] i mean , my poor baby is suffering because her mother had emotional issues . kevin : had . `` had `` is the operative word . you had therapy , inpatient treatment , and it worked . the doctors would n't have released you if it had n't . chloe : [ sighs ] well , my psych evaluation was n't breaking news . what i did to adam was . and that 's what people care about -- sensationalism . i mean , being sane and normal is n't a headline . i 'm gon na be crazy chloe for the rest of my life . nikki : i think that you can be a truthful person . but if you feel that there is an advantage to holding something back , you can less than forthcoming . victor : well , if i 've been less than forthcoming , it is only been for the benefit of my family . nikki : i understand , darling , but what you deem is best for your family sometimes is viewed by the world , and perhaps members of that family , as something they do n't agree with . victor : well , then they do n't know what 's good for them . nikki : okay , what -- what is happening ? do you have something to confess ? victor : you know about my life . you know the how , and most importantly , you know the why i did what i did . but i do n't think the rest of the world does , and they 're about to find out . nikki : oh . your autobiography . are you struggling with what elements to include ? victor : no . it 'll be the unvarnished truth . nikki : well , darling , it 's naturally going to be skewed because it 's going to be your point of view . victor : oh , but that 's why i 'm going to work with a co - author . nikki : really ? victor : yeah . nikki : do you have someone in mind ? victor : scott grainger . nikki : lauren 's son . victor : mm - hmm . hell of a journalist . he 's been digging for the truth all his professional life , so he 's gon na take a no - holds - barred look at my life . scott : guess you wo n't be first in line to get an autographed copy at the bookstore . sharon : you know , you should be warned . you may end up having to write a chapter or two on my marriages to the newman men . yes , you heard right . marriages , plural . men . scott : eh , we all got something strange in our past . i worked on a book with the , uh , psycho that stole me at birth . yeah . sharon : so you have a type you like working with . scott : it 's not a done deal yet , but , uh ... he 's , uh , got to agree to my terms . sharon : terms . you gave victor newman an ultimatum ? you like living dangerously . i 'm impressed . scott : yeah , he 's got to agree to be objective about , uh , the events in his life . sharon : good luck with that . even if he does accept , he will do everything in his power to manipulate you and the facts . scott : he can try . [ cell phone vibrates ] scott : oh , excuse me . ahh ! guess who . sharon : mm , you 've been summoned ! scott : better get going . sharon : hey . be careful . scott : never ! see ya . hilary : so , uh ... do all your models end their photo shoots like this ? jordan : [ laughs ] no way . but this was my favorite photo shoot . hilary : [ chuckles ] jordan : you 're so beautiful . hilary : i have n't felt that way in a long time . jordan : devon 's an idiot for making you feel anything less than breathtaking . hilary : well , it does help having sex under professional lighting . [ laughs ] jordan : hey , that glow is all you . it 's blinding me . hilary : stop playing . jordan : i 'm not , though . in fact ... hold on . i want to capture this moment forever . hilary : you want to take pictures of me ? like this ? noah : you ready ? tessa : what ? reed : do n't be mad . tessa : what did you do ? reed : i might have told noah to put you on the top of the list . noah : welcome , everybody ! it is my pleasure to introduce a fresh new face to the underground stage . get up here , tessa . [ cheers and applause ] reed : listen to that applause -- you ca n't not go up ! noah : hey . tessa ! come on ! get up here . we want to hear you ! reed : you got this . tessa : thanks . noah : you good ? tessa : yeah . noah : okay . tessa : [ chuckles ] hey , guys . so , uh , this is a song i wrote . i hope you like it . california daydream , sittin ' on the beach devon : i 'm actually thinking about getting back into music . mariah : you sing ? devon : no , i produce . i , uh , used to have a studio , too . mariah : seriously ? devon : mm - hmm . had a couple hits , too , back in the day , but i 'm thinking about starting a new label , maybe a music streaming service or something , but i think i found the artist that i want to work with 'cause she has a lot of potential . noah : she 's killin ' it . reed : i know . man , i ca n't wait for her teach me a thing or two . about , like , music and stage craft and ... noah : mm - hmm . tessa : blue [ cheers and applause ] chloe : [ scoffs ] kevin : from your secret stash . chloe : how 'd you know about that ? kevin : the same way i know how beautiful , smart , and sexy you are . chloe : i 'm sorry i 'm such a big ball of need tonight . kevin : and you 're sane , too . the only insane thing about you is that you 'd be willing to marry a nut like me again . chloe : [ chuckles ] kevin : listen , anybody that judges you is ignorant and close - minded . you worked very hard to get control of your emotions again . i 'm very proud of you . coming back here , facing everyone , that took guts . and you did n't let it break you . that tells me that you are smart , rational , balanced ... all of that . chloe : i 'm lucky , too , because i have someone like you in my life . and maybe after we 're married , people will start to look at me the way that you do , and ... give me a chance . kevin : you do n't need a wedding ring on your finger to prove how normal you are . nick : chelsea , we need help . the police have resources that we do n't have . chelsea : what , like checking traffic cameras ? nick : exactly . let me call paul . chelsea : and what are the police gon na do ? who 's gon na look at those cameras ? let me ask you that . who 's gon na look through that video footage , nick ? kevin . right ? chloe 's fiancé . he 's gon na go running to her , and she 's gon na think we do n't believe her . nick : we do n't . chelsea : no , you do n't ! but i think you 're wrong , and i think -- i think you just need to drop this . nick : chelsea , chloe may have gotten away with murdering my brother . i can not let that go . and i 'm surprised that you can . chelsea : if i thought adam was really murdered , i would look for justice , but i do n't think that this is the case here . nick : so we need proof . chelsea : no , nick ! no ! my best friend did not murder my husband ! if she did , in my heart , i would know . devon : that girl could not carry a tune before i started working with her , you know , but she actually ended up making some really great songs . mariah : why , because you 're a musical maestro ? devon : i do n't know about all that , but ... [ both chuckle ] mariah : at least you know what you 're getting into with tessa . devon : yeah , that 's true . that 's true . i 'm glad that we went to the underground tonight . i had a really good time . mariah : me , too . it was the perfect first official date . devon : it was . i 've actually wanted to do something all night . mariah : what 's that ? devon : i wanted to give you a first official date kiss . hey . jordan : the pictures will be tasteful , classy , and artistic , i promise . hilary : i do n't know ... i 've never done anything like this before . jordan : if you feel uncomfortable , we can stop . hilary : and you would n't use them for anything else , right ? jordan : i mean , they would make one hell of a poster for `` gc buzz , `` but no . this is for your private collection . i wo n't have the rights to any of them . hilary : i would n't want anyone seeing them . ever . jordan : you have my word . i just want you to have them . so , in the future , if you do n't feel beautiful , you can look at these pictures to remember that fire inside of you . hilary : okay . make sure you get my good side . jordan : i do n't see a bad one . hilary : [ chuckles ] all right . wow . reed : you totally owned the stage , am i right , noah ? noah : i mean , i do n't want to give you a big head , but ... all right . i 'm kidding . i 'm sure you 're gon na be the star of the night . reed : oh , my buddy drew 's here . i 'll see you guys later . noah : anything look good ? tessa : mm . surprise me . noah : all right . are you from here ? tessa : no , uh , i 've just been here a week or so . noah : what brings you to genoa city ? tessa : just looking for something new . so far , so good , although i 'm starting to think it should be called newman city . everyone i 've met here is one or is related to one . noah : yeah . yeah . there 's no danger of us going extinct anytime soon . what about your family back home ? tessa : uh , my family 's nothing like the newmans . nikki : [ gasps ] scott : hi . nikki : scott ! oh , it 's so good to see you . i 'm so glad you 're back . scott : oh , thank you . me , too . nikki : please . come in . victor . scott : victor . victor : yes . scott grainger . ready to do business ? scott : absolutely . victor : all right .

[ next_on ] neil : your family . ashley offered me a job . jordan : your contract will be up in a couple of years . then you can work as much and become as famous as you want to . chelsea : you were half - a - mile away from the cabin an hour before the explosion . so why did n't you tell me that ? | victor officially agrees to allow scott to help him write an unbiased biography about his life . jordan and hilary make love then he takes pictures of her naked for her to look at when she does n't feel beautiful . devon and mariah go to the underground for their first official date . devon hears tessa sing and decides to make her the first artist on his new record label and streaming service . kevin manages to persuade chloe not to have a quick vegas wedding and plan the wedding of her dreams . victor wants to do a background check on tessa , but nikki persuades him not to do it . nick and chelsea continue to argue , because she refuses to even think that chloe murdered adam . devon and mariah have their first official kiss after their date as sharon watches them with a smile on her face . | <s>[INST] chelsea : nick , there is no way chloe could do something so horrific . nick : chelsea , there are just too many questions about the night that the cabin exploded . chelsea : i do n't want to go there , okay ? i -- i ca n't . nick : you have to . chelsea , you have to . if this is true , if chloe killed adam , then she is not as sane as we thought . she could hurt someone else . victor : you honestly believe you 're gon na live happily ever after ? you 're more delusional than i thought . chloe : i am not delusion , victor . i have proof . i have everything i 've ever wanted . victor : well , you enjoy that as long as it lasts , all right ? chloe : well , it 's going to last forever . now , i know that the idea of having a loving , loyal family is a foreign idea to you . after all , you did frame your son for murder . victor : do n't bring up adam 's name , please . chloe : i pushed a button . you do n't like that , do you ? victor : let me ask you something . how happy do you think kevin will be once he finds out that you came back to genoa city to help me put adam behind bars ? chloe : wait . are you -- are you actually trying to threaten to nuke my marriage ? because i know your secrets , too , and do n't think that i wo n't hesitate to obliterate your life . sharon : thanks for all your help with my psych paper ! scott : you 're , uh , welcome ? sharon : that was sarcasm . scott : i got it . i do n't get it , but i got it . what 's the problem ? sharon : my grade . take a look , mr . genius writer . scott : you got an a - minus . devon : are you , uh , changing your relationship status , is that what you 're doing ? mariah : [ laughing ] no ! noah is reminding me about the open mic night . devon : uh - huh . okay . mariah : have you changed your relationship status ? devon : well , not online , but i have in here and here . mariah : oh , that 's a bad line ! devon : thought it was kind of smooth . mariah : no ! okay , first official date . devon : yes . mariah : thoughts ? devon : uh , thoughts . it 's got to be something memorable , right ? mariah : right , but not lobster - with - stinky - moldy - cheese memorable . devon : no stink and mold ? killing all my best moves !

[ sighs ] hilary : well , i am -- i 'm not complaining . it was definitely a confidence boost . jordan : you think that 's why i kissed you ? hilary : well , that or to shut me up . jordan : no . i kissed you because you 're smokin ' hot and i could n't keep my hands off of you . hilary : [ laughs ] jordan : listen to me . it 's true . there 's a fire in your eyes , and i did n't care if i got burned . i just wanted to get close to you and kiss you . but that was completely unprofessional of me . you hired me to do a job . [ sighs ] hilary : well , did you get the shots that you wanted ? jordan : yeah . more than enough . hilary : good . because the office is empty . the doors are locked . so ... if you feel like playing with fire ... let 's light it up . victor : how we doing ? where 's the fanfare ? where 's the music ? i liked it . nikki : oh , well , i 'm afraid it 's over , but i had so much fun playing with tessa and reed . victor : i know you did . i could see it on your face . nikki : mm . like when i look at you . victor : so , where did victoria find this teacher ? nikki : she did n't . i did . can you believe tessa was playing outside the coffeehouse for tips ? victor : in other words , you brought a stranger into the house ? reed : there is an open mic tonight . are you in ? tessa : honestly , you could use a few more lessons before taking the stage . reed : really ? tessa : you 're good , reed , but there 's a difference between playing in your grandmother 's living room and performing in front a live crowd . reed : that 's why i thought you could go . i mean , you could get up there and show me how a pro works . tessa : what 's the underground like ? is it legit , or is it just for teen wannabes ? reed : no , it 's totally legit . i mean , there are always a ton of really talented musicians . and every night it 's packed full . tessa : i do n't know ... reed : you 're guaranteed a spot . my uncle owns the place and my cousin emcees every night . tessa : so , what , your whole family 's into music ? reed : well , mainly grandma and noah . everybody else , not so much . tessa : mm . reed : except my uncle nick kind of ... he sings , like , old boy band tunes when he drives , but i think he just does that to annoy me . tessa : [ chuckles ] hmm . scott : not to be rude , but it sounded like you did n't expect to do well on that paper anyway , so , i mean , an a - minus , you should be ecstatic about that . sharon : well , it 's your a - minus . i do b work , and now my professor is going to have expectations of me , expectations that i ca n't meet , and i do n't need that kind of pressure on top of everything else in my life . scott : you know , i think i know what 's really going on . sharon : really ? then why do n't you write an essay on it and let me finish bussing tables ? scott : sharon . sharon . just have a seat . sharon : [ exhales sharply ] scott : please . listen , you are a bright , determined , capable woman . sharon : you can tell all that from one paper ? scott : you run a successful business ! you 're a single mother . you 're a student . i mean , some people ca n't even manage to do one of those things , and you 're juggling all three and succeeding . i mean , of course you 're gon na be overwhelmed . i mean , that 's normal . my suggestion is when this happens , just go find a nice quiet spot . just take five minutes and ... reset . and if that does n't work , give me a call . i 'm happy to give you as many pep talks as you need , you know ? how you feeling now ? sharon : a lot better . thank you . scott : there you go . sharon : is there anything i can do for you ? scott : uh ... how about , um , a refill ? sharon : you got it . you know , i 'm sorry . i was so caught up in my own problems , i did n't ask you -- is there any word on your friend ? scott : ahmed ? yeah , he 's -- he 's safe ! sharon : well , that 's ... scott : yeah , he 's back with his family . sharon : um , well , i 'm glad that all worked out , that both of you are home , safe , with loved ones . so ... what now ? you have plans to jet - set off somewhere else on another assignment ? scott : actually , i 'm thinking of taking work that 's gon na keep me in town . sharon : oh ! what is it ? scott : i 'm writing victor newman 's autobiography . that 's good . yep . chelsea : chloe know clothing , okay ? um , hemlines and scoop - neck shirts . i do n't believe she knows how to blow up a cabin and cover her tracks so that the police do n't find any evidence . nick : she pulled a gun on adam at her daughter 's memorial service . she ran him over with her car in front of the courthouse . she is capable of more things than we ever imagined . chelsea : and she has worked very hard to get better . this is -- this is ridiculous . i would know , okay ? i would know if she was responsible for killing my husband . i 'm very good at reading people . nick : sometimes the people we trust are able to make us turn a blind eye to what is right in front of us . chelsea : no . no . she 's my best friend . we work together . we take our children to the park together . we sit on this couch and we drink wine and we eat ice cream and watch bad movies and talk about our deepest hopes and our deepest fears . there 's no way all of that has been a lie . there 's no way ! chloe : i am so happy you 're home . kevin : mm . well , after that greeting , so am i . hey , what do you say we get into some comfy clothes , make some popcorn , and binge on a show ? chloe : i want to get married . kevin : we are , remember ? i asked you , got down on one knee , the whole thing ... you obviously said yes . chloe : i want to get married tonight . nikki : darling , i did n't give her the gate code nor did i give her the combination to the safe , and the only keys she 'll be using while she 's here are the ones on the piano . victor : now , you know that our family has been a target , okay , many times before . so why do n't i run a background check on her ? nikki : oh ! totally unnecessary , victor . victor : no , it 's not . nikki : i 'm a good judge of character . i mean , just because she 's struggling right now does n't mean that she 's a thief . and you and i both know what it 's like to be without and the big difference it makes when somebody believes in you . victor : sweetheart , she 's a stranger . is she your new charity project , or what ? nikki : absolutely not . she did n't ask for a handout , i did n't offer her one . all i did was offer her a job teaching reed music . victor : okay . nikki : she 's very talented . reed likes her . i like her . i mean , is there gon na be a problem here ? victor : okay , baby . nikki : mmm . [ kissing sounds ] victor : anyway , she 's your responsibility . i have some other concerns . nikki : oh ! well , thanks for the vote of confidence . victor : yeah . i trust your judgment . nikki : what are you so serious about ? victor : i 'm gon na ask you a question and i want you to answer honestly . nikki : okay . victor : do you think i 'm a truthful person ? kevin : you want to get married tonight ? chloe : it 'll be romantic . kevin : it 'll be impossible . the clerk 's office is closed . we 'd have no marriage license . chloe : let 's go to vegas . kevin : what ? chloe : yeah , you could -- you could borrow victor 's jet . i mean , he owes you one after you did him a solid for bringing back scott . kevin : i did that for scott , not victor . chloe : okay , how about michael ? michael can go online . he can become an ordained minister just like katherine did for us , and it 'll be just like our first wedding . kevin : two hours ago , you were telling me all the about the white dress , how you wanted bella to be your flower girl and chelsea to be your maid of honor . you knew the cake you wanted and the kind of flowers you wanted . now you want to just scrap all that and get married on a whim ? what is going on with you ? chloe : i was thinking about what you said earlier , and ... ... how life is unpredictable , and you 're right . you have no idea what 's gon na happen tomorrow . kevin : [ sighs ] my proposal freaked you out . that was not at all my intent . what i meant was you should n't put off letting people know how you feel . i did n't want to put off proposing to you one more day . but some things are worth waiting for , like giving you the wedding of your dreams . chloe : you 're stalling . kevin : [ laughs ] i 'm not . chloe : this is gloria 's fault . she 's convinced you to ditch me , has n't she ? reed : hey , man . noah : hey , reed ! who 's your friend ? reed : noah , this is tessa . tessa , noah . noah : hey . tessa : you 're reed 's cousin ? noah : correct . you are reed 's ... tessa : music teacher . noah : ah . welcome to the underground . are you gon na sign up to play ? tessa : oh , no . i 'm just here to watch tonight . reed : tessa , you really should . i mean , you 're amazing . dude , seriously . she 's really good . noah : yeah ? tessa : you 're embarrassing me , stop . reed : you know , she even had grandma jamming with us earlier . noah : oh , that sounds ... epic . reed : yeah , it was , and tessa , really ... all you have to do is sign up . tessa : maybe some other night . noah : all right , well , if you change your mind , i will put you on the top of the list . mariah : hey . reed : come here . mariah : hi ! what 's going on ? reed : i 'm trying to get my new music teacher to show off her skills , but ... tessa : tessa . i 'm not really prepared to sing tonight . mariah : well , go up last . you can practice in nick 's office -- problem solved . noah : this is mariah . she 's my pushy sister who has all the answers . that 's devon . devon : how you doing ? i am , uh ... mariah : he 's a billionaire . tessa : good one . [ laughs ] mariah : he is . it 's true . tessa : no way . wow . mariah : yeah . devon : yeah . what i was gon na say is i 'm -- mariah : he owns buildings . mm - hmm . and he owns tv shows . well , technically his ex - wife owns the tv show now 'cause he 's getting a divorce and i ca n't stop blurting things out . oh , my god , somebody help me . noah : allow me . come here . [ chuckles ] okay . what is going on ? mariah : with the blurting ? i do n't know . noah : yes . no , with devon . mariah : who ? okay , um ... we 're on a date . noah : you 're what ? mariah : we 're trying to keep it quiet . noah : okay , well , you 're gon na have a hard time keeping it a secret , especially with you being all smiley and in love . mariah : hey . cut it out , okay ? or else . noah : okay . truce . but you do look happy , and happy looks good on you , so ... i 'm all for you dating devon . jordan : all of this ... this ... ... is why the camera loves you . hilary : [ gasps ] love is -- [ moans ] not something that i want to think about right now . tessa : are you getting up onstage tonight ? mariah : me ? oh , no . no . i have -- i have zero musical talent . actually , less than zero . tessa : you ca n't be that bad . mariah : when i look at sheet music , the notes jump off the page because they 're scared that i 'm gon na sing them . tessa : okay , that is bad . [ laughs ] mariah : i just come to check out the new talent and upload videos to the `` gc buzz `` website . they have a section -- what is that look on your face ? tessa : oh , my god . you 're `` hell on heels ! `` faceplant mariah ! mariah : you 've seen the video . tessa : yeah , at least 1,000 times ! mariah : that 's great . tessa : oh , it is ! yeah . i mean , i would have laid on the floor and waited until they rolled up the carpet and carried me out , but ... you got back up and finished the show . you rock . mariah : i do n't really think so . tessa : god , everyone i meet in this town is rich and famous . mariah : whoa , whoa . i am not rich and i 'm not famous . at least not a - list famous . i 'm more like ... z - list famous . or v - list , you know . viral , video ... tessa : yeah . [ laughs ] [ scoffs ] i mean , how is a nobody like me gon na make it in this town ? everyone has so many connections . mariah : well , you know , i used to mop the floors and plunge the toilets at this very club , and now i 'm co - host of a tv show , so trust me , anything 's possible . nick : look , i get it that you do n't want to see the worst in chloe , but ... i 'm worried . i 'm worried about your safety . i 'm not gon na let anything happen to you or connor . chelsea : chloe would never hurt us . nick : she lied about that tracking device . she lied about being near the cabin when it exploded . chelsea : okay . just because her cell phone pinged nearby does not mean that she was in the cabin . nick : i mean you 're fighting pretty hard to prove she 's innocent . chelsea : yeah , and you 've already tried and convicted her ! we have to look at every possibility , nick . i do n't know , maybe her cell phone got stolen . maybe someone 's trying to frame her . it might sound crazy , but i mean , so does every other scenario . nick : you 're right . you 're right . we need definitive answers , and the only way that 's gon na happen is if we get the police involved , so i 'm gon na call paul . chelsea : no ! no ! you ca n't do that ! kevin : there is nothing in the world that i want more than to marry you . chloe : your `` i do `` sounds a lot more like `` i do n't ever want to . `` kevin : i meant every single word i said , and if you want me to ask you again , i will . my mom had no influence on me , at all . when have i ever listened to her , anyway ? chloe : it 's not just about gloria . you know ... i know what people say about me . i know what people think . kevin : [ scoffs ] what are you talking about ? what people ? chloe : everybody ! everybody acts all nice and friendly , but what they 're really thinking is `` crazy , party of one . `` kevin : that is not true . chloe : yes , it is . do you know that lydia 's parents wo n't even let her hang out with bella because of me ? kevin : that is ridiculous . i will call them and talk to them . chloe : well , it 's not gon na matter 'cause they will agree to a play date and then they 're gon na end up canceling . believe me , it happens more than i can count . [ sighs ] i mean , my poor baby is suffering because her mother had emotional issues . kevin : had . `` had `` is the operative word . you had therapy , inpatient treatment , and it worked . the doctors would n't have released you if it had n't . chloe : [ sighs ] well , my psych evaluation was n't breaking news . what i did to adam was . and that 's what people care about -- sensationalism . i mean , being sane and normal is n't a headline . i 'm gon na be crazy chloe for the rest of my life . nikki : i think that you can be a truthful person . but if you feel that there is an advantage to holding something back , you can less than forthcoming . victor : well , if i 've been less than forthcoming , it is only been for the benefit of my family . nikki : i understand , darling , but what you deem is best for your family sometimes is viewed by the world , and perhaps members of that family , as something they do n't agree with . victor : well , then they do n't know what 's good for them . nikki : okay , what -- what is happening ? do you have something to confess ? victor : you know about my life . you know the how , and most importantly , you know the why i did what i did . but i do n't think the rest of the world does , and they 're about to find out . nikki : oh . your autobiography . are you struggling with what elements to include ? victor : no . it 'll be the unvarnished truth . nikki : well , darling , it 's naturally going to be skewed because it 's going to be your point of view . victor : oh , but that 's why i 'm going to work with a co - author . nikki : really ? victor : yeah . nikki : do you have someone in mind ? victor : scott grainger . nikki : lauren 's son . victor : mm - hmm . hell of a journalist . he 's been digging for the truth all his professional life , so he 's gon na take a no - holds - barred look at my life . scott : guess you wo n't be first in line to get an autographed copy at the bookstore . sharon : you know , you should be warned . you may end up having to write a chapter or two on my marriages to the newman men . yes , you heard right . marriages , plural . men . scott : eh , we all got something strange in our past . i worked on a book with the , uh , psycho that stole me at birth . yeah . sharon : so you have a type you like working with . scott : it 's not a done deal yet , but , uh ... he 's , uh , got to agree to my terms . sharon : terms . you gave victor newman an ultimatum ? you like living dangerously . i 'm impressed . scott : yeah , he 's got to agree to be objective about , uh , the events in his life . sharon : good luck with that . even if he does accept , he will do everything in his power to manipulate you and the facts . scott : he can try . [ cell phone vibrates ] scott : oh , excuse me . ahh ! guess who . sharon : mm , you 've been summoned ! scott : better get going . sharon : hey . be careful . scott : never ! see ya . hilary : so , uh ... do all your models end their photo shoots like this ? jordan : [ laughs ] no way . but this was my favorite photo shoot . hilary : [ chuckles ] jordan : you 're so beautiful . hilary : i have n't felt that way in a long time . jordan : devon 's an idiot for making you feel anything less than breathtaking . hilary : well , it does help having sex under professional lighting . [ laughs ] jordan : hey , that glow is all you . it 's blinding me . hilary : stop playing . jordan : i 'm not , though . in fact ... hold on . i want to capture this moment forever . hilary : you want to take pictures of me ? like this ? noah : you ready ? tessa : what ? reed : do n't be mad . tessa : what did you do ? reed : i might have told noah to put you on the top of the list . noah : welcome , everybody ! it is my pleasure to introduce a fresh new face to the underground stage . get up here , tessa . [ cheers and applause ] reed : listen to that applause -- you ca n't not go up ! noah : hey . tessa ! come on ! get up here . we want to hear you ! reed : you got this . tessa : thanks . noah : you good ? tessa : yeah . noah : okay . tessa : [ chuckles ] hey , guys . so , uh , this is a song i wrote . i hope you like it . california daydream , sittin ' on the beach devon : i 'm actually thinking about getting back into music . mariah : you sing ? devon : no , i produce . i , uh , used to have a studio , too . mariah : seriously ? devon : mm - hmm . had a couple hits , too , back in the day , but i 'm thinking about starting a new label , maybe a music streaming service or something , but i think i found the artist that i want to work with 'cause she has a lot of potential . noah : she 's killin ' it . reed : i know . man , i ca n't wait for her teach me a thing or two . about , like , music and stage craft and ... noah : mm - hmm . tessa : blue [ cheers and applause ] chloe : [ scoffs ] kevin : from your secret stash . chloe : how 'd you know about that ? kevin : the same way i know how beautiful , smart , and sexy you are . chloe : i 'm sorry i 'm such a big ball of need tonight . kevin : and you 're sane , too . the only insane thing about you is that you 'd be willing to marry a nut like me again . chloe : [ chuckles ] kevin : listen , anybody that judges you is ignorant and close - minded . you worked very hard to get control of your emotions again . i 'm very proud of you . coming back here , facing everyone , that took guts . and you did n't let it break you . that tells me that you are smart , rational , balanced ... all of that . chloe : i 'm lucky , too , because i have someone like you in my life . and maybe after we 're married , people will start to look at me the way that you do , and ... give me a chance . kevin : you do n't need a wedding ring on your finger to prove how normal you are . nick : chelsea , we need help . the police have resources that we do n't have . chelsea : what , like checking traffic cameras ? nick : exactly . let me call paul . chelsea : and what are the police gon na do ? who 's gon na look at those cameras ? let me ask you that . who 's gon na look through that video footage , nick ? kevin . right ? chloe 's fiancé . he 's gon na go running to her , and she 's gon na think we do n't believe her . nick : we do n't . chelsea : no , you do n't ! but i think you 're wrong , and i think -- i think you just need to drop this . nick : chelsea , chloe may have gotten away with murdering my brother . i can not let that go . and i 'm surprised that you can . chelsea : if i thought adam was really murdered , i would look for justice , but i do n't think that this is the case here . nick : so we need proof . chelsea : no , nick ! no ! my best friend did not murder my husband ! if she did , in my heart , i would know . devon : that girl could not carry a tune before i started working with her , you know , but she actually ended up making some really great songs . mariah : why , because you 're a musical maestro ? devon : i do n't know about all that , but ...

'cause you are a good person . kate : there 's just , um , some things in my past that i 'm not proud of , that 's all . you know , there 's some -- there are a few times that , um , i did the wrong thing , but for the right reason . there are people who will never forgive me . i 'll probably never forgive myself . john : mm . that goes for most of us . kate : now , look , this is n't getting us anywhere , so why do n't you just rest ? just lay back ... close your eyes ... relax , and i 'll do this very quickly and gently . john : okay . john : stop . i -- i ca n't let you do this . kate : why ? john : i just feel so pathetic . kate : you 're not pathetic . john : you 're right . i 'm just weak . i 'm so weak , i could n't save doc . i 'm so weak , i got myself addicted to drugs , so weak i ca n't take a damn shower by myself . kate : you 're a strong man . you 've been strong for everyone , but now you have to be strong for yourself . john : how , by letting you give me a bed bath ? kate : no . no . by kicking this drug habit so you 'll continue to be here for everyone who loves you .

felix : it 's not . still , i have to wonder what would make you turn the scissors on yourself . carly : it 's a long story . felix : i got time . a.j . : so apparently tracy 's new co - c.e.o . , who she announced with such fanfare via her social networks , um , has managed to get herself arrested for assaulting a cop . michael : with a wooden stake ? a.j . : yeah . just when i thought i was n't gon na be able to run elq , this happens . tracy crashes and burns . michael : so -- so lucy coe accused mcbain of being the vampire king ? a.j . : yeah , in front of half a dozen witnesses . michael : this is kind of sad . a.j . : well , it 's sad for her . it 's good for us . if we play this the right way , elq 's ours for the taking . tracy : i just went public on social media , telling everybody who follows me , on every available platform , that you are my new co - c.e.o . and now you attack a police detective . lucy : mm . a vampire . alexis : thus the insanity plea . tracy : i can not have my new co - c.e.o . using the `` i `` word in court . lucy : i could n't agree more , because i am not insane . i am simply trying to keep this town safe from caleb feeding on all the innocents here in town unchecked . alexis : and i have a duty to get my client professional help . tracy : stuff your duty . stuff your client . a.j . is about to pounce . i ca n't have you giving him any more ammunition . mac : tracy , your concerns are not the priority at the moment . felicia : lucy might be ill . tracy : a.j . is trying to undermine me at elq . if she tells the world that she 's insane , what does it say about me ? alexis : may i ? lucy is very -- lucy : hey , people , people , people ! can we focus here ? ! once we get through all this legal rigmarole , i can get out there and track down caleb and kill him . mac : see what we mean ?

no , no , no . another plea . some kind of legal maneuvering that would make it all go away so i could buy some time to fend off a.j . a.j . : hey , i 'm glad mcbain survived , and i really do hope that lucy gets all the help that she needs . but right now , we 've got an opportunity here . michael : i get that this whole lucy thing is bad for elq 's public image , but it does n't affect the people with voting rights . i mean , you and tracy are still deadlocked , right ? a.j . : maybe not . look , if we can prove that lucy had a psychotic break at the same time that she was supporting tracy , that 's grounds for a re - vote . and the way this thing 's been splashed all over the media , you know , i think that we 've got a pretty good shot at getting one of tracy 's supporters to come over to our side . michael : how could anyone expect tracy to know in advance that lucy was crazy ? a.j . : come on , michael . there 's a lot of ways to spin things to our advantage . tracy will be out . you and i will be running elq as father and son . tracy : just make sure lucy keeps her mouth shut . no talk about vampires . alexis : okay . what motive do you suggest i use to explain why she stabbed a man in the heart with a stake ? tracy : i do n't know , alexis . she was drunk . it was an accident . just do n't call her insane . lucy : i do n't care what people think about me , you know ? i care about there is a vampire -- the undead caleb morley ! he 's tried to hypnotize everybody . do you realize he made you all forget that he tried to kill everybody in town ? ! tracy : and yet here we all are , with the world at our fingertips , if you can just stop talking about vampires . lucy : stop talking about vampires while the creatures are invading our town and insidiously going through darkness to get to us and hurt us at every move ? ! tracy : lucy -- think , lucy . you are the new co - c.e.o . of elq . that means a corner office , private jets , a six - figure income . lucy : oh , how about a mid - six - figure income ? tracy : you can have anything if you can just stop this obsession with vampires . lucy : i have an obligation to everyone -- tracy : you have an obligation to shut down coecoe cosmetics before the s.e.c . buries you in paperwork . lucy : whatever . i 'll do it . i will survive . i always do . tracy : yeah , but the nurses ' ball wo n't survive , because if you keep this up , i 'm gon na be forced to , uh , withdraw my check . lucy : you would n't dare do that . tracy : i think you need to think about all those people . they 're depending on you for your support -- the doctors , the patients , the families . you really want to turn your back on them ? lucy : wow , you really can be manipulative , ca n't you ? tracy : i think i 'm just being honest . is stopping this caleb person really more important than helping people with h.i.v . and aids ? your decision . a.j . : michael , if we can force a second vote , we 're on our way . michael : i 'm just surprised how you 're handling this . a.j . : did you really think that i was n't gon na find a way to get back at tracy ? michael : i was a little worried when i found out she beat you out as c.e.o . i was kind of scared you might do something crazy last night . a.j . : yeah , well , uh , i did . carly : i did something self - destructive . it was n't the first time , and it probably wo n't be the last . felix : but why cut off all your hair ? carly : why not ? felix : hmm . well , obviously , you 're trying to make a statement . probably something to do with a man . todd : lieutenant mcbain , i thought you 'd be in bed after some discerning woman stabbed you in the -- [ chuckling ] heart with a stake . mcbain : you know , i said i 'd live long enough to see you behind bars , and it looks like i will . can we have a nice set of bracelets for mr. manning ?

you can barely walk . todd : you know what ? if you 're not feeling well , why do n't you lie down right there , mcbain ? i 'd hate for anything bad to happen to you . ow ! mcbain : but i knew you 'd miss me if i was n't there , so i 'm gon na personally supervise your transfer to the courthouse . your call , detective . mcbain : thank you . let 's get going . epiphany : detective mcbain . where do you think you 're going ? mcbain : uh -- to court . epiphany : they are going to court . you are getting your ass back in bed -- now . carly : who cares why i cut my hair ? it 's gone . it 's done . i 've got to live with it . oh , god . felix : everything okay ?

[ both chuckle ] felix : look at you . your smile lights up a room . todd : pathogen scare , right ? we 're sitting at the hospital . we 're on the steps . do you remember that ? and you looked at me ? all sweaty , looked ghastly . you were so beautiful . you were so beautiful to me . and you smiled . and i thought , `` wow . i do n't want to die , 'cause i like that smile . i wanted more time with you . felix : hey , it 's not all bad . carly : yeah -- it 's pretty awful . todd : oh , look , court 's in session . maybe we should come back some other time . diane : [ clears throat ] todd : or not . campbell : your honor , the defendant attacked a port charles police detective and repeatedly stated that her intention was to kill him . we are charging miss coe with attempted murder and ask that special circumstances attach to the charges . mcbain : i 'm gon na see where we 're at with the case ahead of us . if he moves -- i do n't know -- shoot him . campbell : the people will offer testimony that miss coe deliberately smashed a chair to provide herself with her weapon of choice -- a wooden stake . alexis : your honor , this is an arraignment , not a trial . judge horowitz : state the charges , mr. campbell . save the grandstanding for later . campbell : the people ask that miss coe separately be charged with the additional offense of aggravated assault against a human being with intent to inflict bodily injury . judge horowitz : how do you plead , miss coe ? lucy : not guilty , your honor . tracy : oh , thank god ! lucy : because that man is not a human being ! alexis : [ sighs ] britt : yeah , sabrina was -- was great with -- with emma , but i was thinking that -- patrick : emma loves sabrina . britt : well , i was thinking -- instead of rushing emma into a babysitter , why do n't we take this time to get to know each other ? we can go to the aquarium , to a ballet -- whatever emma likes . patrick : you mean that ? britt : of course . emma 's adorable . and she needs to get to know me so it 's not a surprise when i stay the night . i will even break my no - carb rule and make pancakes . patrick : [ chuckles ] um , we need to talk about that . sabrina : although it 's true that lucy is temporarily in police custody , we still have funding from tracy quartermaine . so there is absolutely going to be a nurses ' ball . epiphany : i 'm not talking about lucy coe 's shenanigans or tracy quartermaine 's money . who am i ? the head nurse ! so , how come i do n't know anything about this nurses ' ball ? sabrina : oh , well , uh , you know , i 'm -- i 'm really not the person to ask . i think you should probably ask -- epiphany : clearly , you have had meetings , you 've raised money . you seem to have booked a venue for this event . why do n't i know anything about this nurses ' ball ? sabrina -- stalling is not going to do you any favors . why did you tell me about this nurses ' ball ? sabrina : felix told me not to tell you . felix : you look like you 're feeling a lot better . carly : oh . i do n't know about that , but the room 's not spinning . [ chuckles ] i just want to go home and shower and burn these clothes and -- i do n't know -- hide my head underneath a blanket for about 100 hours . felix : tell me you do n't mean that . carly : okay . maybe not 100 . at least 24 . i just want to forget that last night even happened . michael : you slept with my mother knowing she was drunk ? a.j . : no , no , no . michael : you said you spent the night with her . a.j . : wait a second . hang on . i 'm not trying to give you the wrong impression here . i was trying to help carly . michael : help her ? help her how exactly ? a.j . : she was drunk -- okay ? -- and she could n't drive . and so she insisted on going back to the hotel , so i followed her to some guy 's room . i do n't know . this guy apparently hurt her somehow . i 'm not clear . michael : todd manning -- starr 's father . a.j . : okay . well , i do n't know what the details are , but she grabbed a pair of scissors , and she shredded every single suit that that guy had in his closet . michael : you stood there and watched ? a.j . : what was i gon na do ? she was drunk . we both know how she feels about me . something bad could have happened . michael : you could have called me or something . a.j . : come on , michael . i did n't want you to see her that way , you know ? i just -- i - i decided to stay over . i wanted to watch out for her . i - i did what i could do . michael : after everything she 's done to you ? a.j . : michael , i did it for you . i mean , no matter how i feel about carly , she 's your mother . carly : i have a tendency to deal with one disaster by making an even bigger one . a perfect example was last night . i was angry , i went out , and i made everything worse . now i just need to take a step back and regroup . felix : really ? 'cause it sounds to me like you 're just hiding out . carly : no . nothing wrong with counting to 10 . felix : you lost me . carly : it does n't matter . look , there 's no hope for my hair or for todd 's wardrobe . but -- i need to stop and think for a minute . i need to think about what i did to get myself here and to stop it from happening again . felix : that 's one way of looking at it . carly : you have a better idea ? felix : well , if i were in your shoes -- and , by the way , those shoes are fabulous -- i would walk downstairs , get my hair fixed , put on my best dress , find that buster , and parade in front of him and let him know he did n't ruin my life . todd : you remember when you told me that carly would forgive me ? diane : well , carly is a difficult woman to predict . she can be volatile , and that 's putting it mildly . you know , jason used to pay me triple to handle carly . todd : h - hold on . if carly was married to jax , why would jason be paying you to represent carly at all ? diane : jason and carly were friends . that 's the only story i ever got . todd : carly said she was my friend . she told me she would have stood by me if i had just told her the truth . diane : she probably would have . todd : hold on . you flat - out told me that i should never tell carly anything about me hurting jason . diane : carly was in the first throes of grief . it is also never legally advisable for you to confide in someone who may be later called to testify against you . now , having said all of that , i think i may have misread carly , because for all of her faults , she 's a remarkably loyal woman . so , yes , i think she might have stood by you if you had just told her the truth . todd : now -- she tells me this now . you 're telling me this now ? there 's nothing i can do to fix it . diane : well , as long as we are telling truths , if i had set aside my professional concerns and said , `` fine , todd , tell carly everything , bare your soul , `` would you have done it ? did n't think so . lucy : he can say he 's a cop and he can pretend he 's a human being , but he is king of the vampires . tracy : good grief . alexis : what are you doing here ? mcbain : i 'm leaving . lucy : no , you 're not ! do n't you move , caleb ! alexis : his name is n't caleb ! lucy : i do n't care what he calls himself now . what did you call yourself before ? father michael morley -- a priest . and then it was stephen clay -- a rock star . same ma -- no , excuse me . same vampire . tracy : ca n't you shut her up ? ! lucy : he is a shape - shifter ! no , you do n't . judge horowitz : control your client . alexis : easier said than done , your honor . lucy : bloodsucker ! mac : lucy ! what are you doing ? ! lucy ! lucy : i swear , mac , i have to help -- [ indistinct shouting ] alexis : i am recommending that my client get a full psychiatric evaluation , and i am changing my plea to not guilty by reason of insanity ! tracy : no , no , no , no ! britt : what did i say ? patrick : no . nothing -- nothing bad . i just -- i want to make sure there 's no misunderstandings between us , okay ? like , i think you 're great . i - i really -- i really like you . i think you 're smart , you 're sexy , you 're -- you 're beautiful , and -- and i really want to keep seeing you . it 's just -- britt : okay . [ chuckles ] so far , so good . patrick : this is all new for me . i 'm trying to navigate dating and -- and doing what 's best for emma , and -- and i -- it 's hard for me to kind of look into long - range plans . and if that does n't fit into your schedule or if that 's something you do n't want , i understand that . britt : no , no , no . i - i - i get it . i 've never been a long - range kind of girl , so whatever you need . patrick : you sure ? great . so we can -- we can do this ? we can have fun one -- one day at a time ? britt : yeah , it works for me . epiphany : why would felix tell you not to discuss the nurses ' ball with me ? sabrina : oh , you know felix . he loves to create -- epiphany : yes , sabrina . and i know you , too . you are one of the worst liars i have ever met . sabrina : oh . well -- [ sighs ] epiphany : i am your supervisor . you tell me the truth right now . why did n't you tell me about the nurses ' ball ? sabrina : well , felix said -- `` she has no sense of fun . `` epiphany : i have n -- no sense of fun ? i 'm one of the most fun people that i know . sabrina : oh , you 're so fun . epiphany : wait until i get my hands on him . i 'm gon na show that boy who 's fun . sabrina : [ gasps ] ow . [ exhales sharply ] felix : honey , a woman like you should never show her hand , especially to some undeserving man . carly : you make a good point . thank you . felix : anytime . carly : how much do i owe you ? felix : sorry ? carly : you saved me from a horrible hangover . you gave me great advice . you deserve to be compensated . what do you want ? felix : a discount for the ballroom for the nurses ' ball ? carly : i can do better than that . i 'll donate it . you -- you can have it -- for nothing . felix : seriously ? carly : yeah , seriously . it 's yours . your earned it . felix : [ chuckles ] uh , can i get that in writing , you know , for the committee ? carly : yes , yes , yes . write whatever you want , and i 'll sign it . felix : you are a goddess . todd manning is a fool . carly : he is -- 'cause i was gon na be his best friend . but he blew it . and now is not the time for me to curl up and bury my head , as scraggly as it may be . michael : thank you for looking after my mother . a.j . : well , it gave me a chance to prove myself to you . michael : i knew she was hurting over this whole thing with starr 's dad and she can be reckless and act out , but she should have never pushed you to drink . a.j . : hey , look , you know , she was n't exactly her best self last night , and , uh , i think what we ought to do is just forget all about it , put our heads together , and figure out how we 're gon na get rid of tracy . lucy : you can not let him just get away , mac ! listen to me ! he 's a bloodsucker ! you ca n't just turn him loose on the town ! todd : is that who staked mcbain ? hey ! hey ! nice job ! diane : stop that . tracy : you promised me you would n't use that word . you know what 's gon na happen to me at elq ? alexis : she 's nuts . i had to use the insanity plea . tracy : so , what am i , collateral damage ? alexis : look at it this way -- at least she 's not going to jail . todd : package delivered , mcbain . you 're free to go . mcbain : and miss all the fun ? i ai n't going anywhere . todd : okay , well , try not to suck anybody 's blood during the arraignment . diane : all right . boys , boys , play nice . come on . mcbain : oh , allow me . diane : thank you . patrick : i know i sound like a broken record , but thank you , again , for listening to me and -- and understanding -- britt : you 're right . why -- why ruin a good thing ? sabrina : oh . patrick : hey , um , i was looking for you . sabrina : you were ? patrick : yeah , you , uh , you left your case at my house . sabrina : oh . thank you . britt : let 's go get some coffee . patrick : okay . diane : carly , you look , uh , different . todd : you look amazing . carly : thank you . todd : i 'm so happy you came . carly : do n't be . i only came to see you charged . diane : okay . time to focus . todd : i am focused . diane : [ sighs ] now , you listen to me . when the judge asks you how you plead , you say -- you say , `` not guilty . `` you do n't say anything else . i 'm going to handle all of the arguments . now , i 'm going to ask for bail , but , of course , they will not grant bail [ clears throat ] because -- bailiff : all rise . court is now in session . the honorable judge adam horowitz presiding . judge horowitz : you may be seated . who 's before us ?

todd : i am not guilty . diane : your honor , at this time , i would like to request bail -- todd : the person who did those things ... is not me . michael : look , tracy 's smart . she 's gon na find a way to distance herself from lucy . a.j . : well , she can try , but she 's not gon na convince the other shareholders . michael : i just do n't want you to be disappointed , okay ?

carly : no , the hair is symbolic . felix : of what ? your desire to look like a hedgehog ? carly : you know , all things considered , a drunken , self - inflicted haircut is pretty minor , compared to some of the stunts i 've pulled . felix : not so minor from where i 'm standing . carly : how is this any of your business ? felix : it 's not . still , i have to wonder what would make you turn the scissors on yourself . carly : it 's a long story . felix : i got time . a.j . : so apparently tracy 's new co - c.e.o . , who she announced with such fanfare via her social networks , um , has managed to get herself arrested for assaulting a cop . michael : with a wooden stake ? a.j . : yeah . just when i thought i was n't gon na be able to run elq , this happens . tracy crashes and burns . michael : so -- so lucy coe accused mcbain of being the vampire king ? a.j . : yeah , in front of half a dozen witnesses . michael : this is kind of sad . a.j . : well , it 's sad for her . it 's good for us . if we play this the right way , elq 's ours for the taking . tracy : i just went public on social media , telling everybody who follows me , on every available platform , that you are my new co - c.e.o . and now you attack a police detective . lucy : mm . a vampire . alexis : thus the insanity plea . tracy : i can not have my new co - c.e.o . using the `` i `` word in court . lucy : i could n't agree more , because i am not insane . i am simply trying to keep this town safe from caleb feeding on all the innocents here in town unchecked . alexis : and i have a duty to get my client professional help . tracy : stuff your duty . stuff your client . a.j . is about to pounce . i ca n't have you giving him any more ammunition . mac : tracy , your concerns are not the priority at the moment . felicia : lucy might be ill . tracy : a.j . is trying to undermine me at elq . if she tells the world that she 's insane , what does it say about me ? alexis : may i ? lucy is very -- lucy : hey , people , people , people ! can we focus here ? ! once we get through all this legal rigmarole , i can get out there and track down caleb and kill him . mac : see what we mean ? tracy : i do n't need to tell you what a complete disaster it would be if a.j . took over elq . he is a total incompetent . alexis : well , i totally agree with your assessment of a.j . , and i 'm so terribly sorry for your -- tracy : is n't there another plea ? no , no , no . another plea . some kind of legal maneuvering that would make it all go away so i could buy some time to fend off a.j . a.j . : hey , i 'm glad mcbain survived , and i really do hope that lucy gets all the help that she needs . but right now , we 've got an opportunity here . michael : i get that this whole lucy thing is bad for elq 's public image , but it does n't affect the people with voting rights . i mean , you and tracy are still deadlocked , right ? a.j . : maybe not . look , if we can prove that lucy had a psychotic break at the same time that she was supporting tracy , that 's grounds for a re - vote . and the way this thing 's been splashed all over the media , you know , i think that we 've got a pretty good shot at getting one of tracy 's supporters to come over to our side . michael : how could anyone expect tracy to know in advance that lucy was crazy ? a.j . : come on , michael . there 's a lot of ways to spin things to our advantage . tracy will be out . you and i will be running elq as father and son . tracy : just make sure lucy keeps her mouth shut . no talk about vampires . alexis : okay . what motive do you suggest i use to explain why she stabbed a man in the heart with a stake ? tracy : i do n't know , alexis . she was drunk . it was an accident . just do n't call her insane . lucy : i do n't care what people think about me , you know ? i care about there is a vampire -- the undead caleb morley ! he 's tried to hypnotize everybody . do you realize he made you all forget that he tried to kill everybody in town ? ! tracy : and yet here we all are , with the world at our fingertips , if you can just stop talking about vampires . lucy : stop talking about vampires while the creatures are invading our town and insidiously going through darkness to get to us and hurt us at every move ? ! tracy : lucy -- think , lucy . you are the new co - c.e.o . of elq . that means a corner office , private jets , a six - figure income . lucy : oh , how about a mid - six - figure income ? tracy : you can have anything if you can just stop this obsession with vampires . lucy : i have an obligation to everyone -- tracy : you have an obligation to shut down coecoe cosmetics before the s.e.c . buries you in paperwork . lucy : whatever . i 'll do it . i will survive . i always do . tracy : yeah , but the nurses ' ball wo n't survive , because if you keep this up , i 'm gon na be forced to , uh , withdraw my check . lucy : you would n't dare do that . tracy : i think you need to think about all those people . they 're depending on you for your support -- the doctors , the patients , the families . you really want to turn your back on them ? lucy : wow , you really can be manipulative , ca n't you ? tracy : i think i 'm just being honest . is stopping this caleb person really more important than helping people with h.i.v . and aids ? your decision . a.j . : michael , if we can force a second vote , we 're on our way . michael : i 'm just surprised how you 're handling this . a.j . : did you really think that i was n't gon na find a way to get back at tracy ? michael : i was a little worried when i found out she beat you out as c.e.o . i was kind of scared you might do something crazy last night . a.j . : yeah , well , uh , i did . carly : i did something self - destructive . it was n't the first time , and it probably wo n't be the last . felix : but why cut off all your hair ? carly : why not ? felix : hmm . well , obviously , you 're trying to make a statement . probably something to do with a man . todd : lieutenant mcbain , i thought you 'd be in bed after some discerning woman stabbed you in the -- [ chuckling ] heart with a stake . mcbain : you know , i said i 'd live long enough to see you behind bars , and it looks like i will . can we have a nice set of bracelets for mr. manning ? officer : yes , sir . diane : with -- with all due respect , detective , i think that 's going to be up to a jury . mcbain : so , let 's get him to the courthouse . diane : is n't that gon na be a little problematic for you ? you can barely walk . todd : you know what ? if you 're not feeling well , why do n't you lie down right there , mcbain ? i 'd hate for anything bad to happen to you . ow ! mcbain : but i knew you 'd miss me if i was n't there , so i 'm gon na personally supervise your transfer to the courthouse . your call , detective . mcbain : thank you . let 's get going . epiphany : detective mcbain . where do you think you 're going ? mcbain : uh -- to court . epiphany : they are going to court . you are getting your ass back in bed -- now . carly : who cares why i cut my hair ? it 's gone . it 's done . i 've got to live with it . oh , god . felix : everything okay ? carly : yep . the room 's spinning right now , but i 'll be fine . i just got to sit for a second . felix : have you had breakfast ? carly : no , i ca n't even think of eating food right now . felix : do n't worry . i 'll do it for you . carly : [ groans ] felix : y - yes . hi . uh , we need , uh , some coffee , scrambled eggs , bananas -- carly : gross ! felix : -- and orange juice . carly : mnh - mnh . felix : this for miss jacks , so get on it . that means stat . carly : no way . no way i can eat that food . felix : amino acids , potassium , and fructose -- and plenty of water . you 'll feel better in no time . carly : who are you ? felix : i 'm felix dubois . i 'm in my final year of nursing . carly : i went to nursing school . they never taught me a course on hangover remedies . [ sighs ] felix : well , the clubs which i 've been known to frequent and , uh , occasionally over - imbibe -- you know , i have a lot of experience in it , trust me . carly : fresh out of that . felix : trust ? carly : yep , and i really want to change the subject right now . felix : well , considering the state you 're in , you do n't think i 've already figured this out ? carly : what do you want me to tell you -- that i butchered my hair because of todd manning ? felix : [ chuckles ] we like the bad boys , do n't we ? todd : you know , john , she is the boss around here . maybe you should hop up on this bed right here and , uh , epiphany can give you a sponge bath . epiphany : are you representing this fool ? diane : i am . epiphany : if you do n't shut him up , i will . and as for you , detective , i 'm gon na have an orderly take you back to your room . mcbain : with all due respect , ma'am , you -- you ca n't keep me here against my will , so i 'm gon na leave . i 'm gon na go to court and -- epiphany : not against doctor 's orders , you wo n't . mcbain : well , i 'll -- i 'll take my chances . epiphany : counselor , could you please explain to him what happens if he leaves against doctor 's orders ? diane : the hospital wo n't be liable when you collapse . mcbain : understood . now , ma'am , if -- if you do n't mind stepping out of the way , we do n't want mr. manning to be late for his arraignment . epiphany : it 's your funeral , detective . todd : oh , would n't that be great ? [ chuckles ] hey , from your lips . lucy : [ inhales , exhales deeply ] okay . i will not mention -- caleb . tracy : thank you . a simple `` not guilty `` plea will suffice . mac : do what alexis tells you . she 's the best . felicia : we 'll be right here for you , lucy . oh , this is awful . i did n't realize how fragile she is . mac : i knew she was into psychics and the supernatural , but , i mean , i never thought she 'd believe in vampires . felicia : i just hope she can get the help that she needs . alexis : so , when the judge asks you , `` how do you plead ? `` you will say -- lucy : not guilty , your honor . alexis : good , lucy . i 'll get the bail and figure out a strategy later . tracy : so ix - nay on the ampires - vay . lucy : i am still going to slay caleb . but ... for the good of the nurses ' ball and elq -- i will keep quiet -- for now . tracy : thank god . michael : look , if you did something illegal , we should probably call diane and come up with some kind of a strategy . a.j . : [ chuckles ] you really are conditioned to think the worst , are n't you ? it 's not a surprise , i mean , given how you grew up . michael : a.j . , just tell me what you did . a.j . : it 's nothing you need to worry about . michael : you sure ? a.j . : yeah . michael , i did n't drink , even though your mother tried to get me to . carly : how do you know todd manning ? felix : we spent the night together -- in a professional capacity . i was his nurse . carly : todd 's in the hospital ? felix : yeah . carly : what happened ? felix : they brought him over lockup . he was worked over . carly : well , how bad was he hurt ? felix : not bad . it all turned out to be just a ploy . carly : you 're telling me todd got himself beat up so he could have to go to the hospital so he could escape ? felix : yeah . he almost got out the door when this lady jumped on his back and started screaming . [ chuckles ] carly : yeah , i guess that 's typical of todd , huh ? make a mess , do n't stick around to clean it up . i do n't know why i expected anything different from him . felix : moral of the story -- do n't be cutting your hair off for no man . carly : too late . felix : well , i ca n't fix your heart , but -- i can fix your hair . b.b . britt : nice shirt -- though i like you better without it . patrick : emma picked it out . britt : i do n't know how to ask , but are we okay ? was i too aggressive , jumping in the shower with you the other day ? patrick : just the opposite , actually . britt : oh , not aggressive enough ? patrick : listen , britt , i 've been thinking a lot about -- about it , about you , and , frankly , i think i was over thinking it . you jumping in the shower like that -- it was -- it was great . britt : mm . my sentiments exactly . so -- what now ? can we take this party to a nice , big bed ? patrick : that would be great , too , but i have a babysitting problem now that sabrina quit . britt : i took the liberty . patrick : what 's that ? britt : i got the name of a reputable babysitting agency . patrick : thank you . um [ clears throat ] that 's -- that 's nice of you , but , you know , sabrina 's great with emma . she 's gon na be hard to replace . epiphany : miss santiago . where 's felix ? and tell me the truth this time . sabrina : felix went to secure a venue for the nurses ' ball . epiphany : what nurses ' ball ? there is n't gon na be any nurses ' ball . carly : you want to cut my hair ? i thought you were a nursing student . felix : girl , beauty is my sideline . i apprenticed for weeks at this place called `` foxy roxy 's . `` [ chuckles ] now , roxy did n't have much going on upstairs , but the girl could handle some scissors . carly : right . i 'm gon na pass . felix : are you sure ? because , i mean , i could -- carly : no , no , no . my guy 's downstairs in the salon , off the lobby , and , you know , he can help me out . plus , i 'm not letting those scissors touch my hair again . i also used them to cut up todd 's clothes . felix : [ laughs ] so you used these not only on your hair , but you cut the man 's clothes up , too ? carly : mm - hmm . and that was n't the worst mistake i made last night . a.j . : look , i should n't have said anything , all right . i 'm really not trying to trash carly . michael : just tell me what she did . a.j . : look , um , i was disappointed , and i , uh , had that run - in with tracy , and i found myself in a bar . and i guess -- bad habits die hard . michael : you thought about having a drink ? a.j . : yeah . yeah . i mean , i was just -- i was really broken up about the whole thing . i wanted to work with you at elq , and -- and i felt that maybe you were gon na slip away . and then there i was , and i 'm staring at the pretty , shiny bottles , and i 'm deciding whether or not i 'm gon na crack one open and climb inside . who shows up ? carly . she sees me struggling with the urge . what does she do ? she offers to buy me a drink . you know ? she was just -- just hoping -- just hoping that i 'd pick up , so that it would wreck any chance of you and me working things out . michael : i ca n't believe she 'd do that to you . a.j . : well , i hate to disappoint you , but , uh , it 's not the first time that she 's taken advantage of a weak moment . listen -- listen , she was drunk , and she was upset , and -- and , frankly , i do n't even think she knew what she was doing . michael : well , look , at least -- at least you did n't drink . a.j . : no . but i did spend the night with your mother . carly : i , uh , had a fight with todd . well , i mean , it was n't really a fight . i just found out he had been lying to me for a long time . and so i wanted to go to jake 's , which is now the floating rib . felix : to drown your sorrows . carly : i used to go there with , um -- with a good friend and -- and play pool and -- and he was -- he was a friend , and he would n't lie to me , and he was someone i could always trust . felix : does this paragon have a name ? carly : it does n't matter . thank you . it does n't matter because he 's gone , and i miss him , and i did exactly what he always told me not to do . i was reckless , and i was out of control , and i got drunk , and i let some man i despise bring me home . felix : uh - oh . carly : i did n't sleep with him . felix : good , 'cause any man that would let you handle scissors in your condition does n't deserve you . carly : i 'm the one that got out the scissors , and i 'm the one that cut up todd 's clothes . felix : it could have been worse . you could have cut him up . carly : yeah . [ both chuckle ] felix : look at you . your smile lights up a room . todd : pathogen scare , right ? we 're sitting at the hospital . we 're on the steps . do you remember that ? and you looked at me ? all sweaty , looked ghastly . you were so beautiful . you were so beautiful to me . and you smiled . and i thought , `` wow . i do n't want to die , 'cause i like that smile . i wanted more time with you . felix : hey , it 's not all bad . carly : yeah -- it 's pretty awful . todd : oh , look , court 's in session . maybe we should come back some other time . diane : [ clears throat ] todd : or not . campbell : your honor , the defendant attacked a port charles police detective and repeatedly stated that her intention was to kill him . we are charging miss coe with attempted murder and ask that special circumstances attach to the charges . mcbain : i 'm gon na see where we 're at with the case ahead of us . if he moves -- i do n't know -- shoot him . campbell : the people will offer testimony that miss coe deliberately smashed a chair to provide herself with her weapon of choice -- a wooden stake . alexis : your honor , this is an arraignment , not a trial . judge horowitz : state the charges , mr. campbell . save the grandstanding for later . campbell : the people ask that miss coe separately be charged with the additional offense of aggravated assault against a human being with intent to inflict bodily injury . judge horowitz : how do you plead , miss coe ? lucy : not guilty , your honor . tracy : oh , thank god ! lucy : because that man is not a human being ! alexis : [ sighs ] britt : yeah , sabrina was -- was great with -- with emma , but i was thinking that -- patrick : emma loves sabrina . britt : well , i was thinking -- instead of rushing emma into a babysitter , why do n't we take this time to get to know each other ? we can go to the aquarium , to a ballet -- whatever emma likes . patrick : you mean that ? britt : of course . emma 's adorable . and she needs to get to know me so it 's not a surprise when i stay the night . i will even break my no - carb rule and make pancakes . patrick : [ chuckles ] um , we need to talk about that . sabrina : although it 's true that lucy is temporarily in police custody , we still have funding from tracy quartermaine . so there is absolutely going to be a nurses ' ball . epiphany : i 'm not talking about lucy coe 's shenanigans or tracy quartermaine 's money . who am i ? the head nurse ! so , how come i do n't know anything about this nurses ' ball ? sabrina : oh , well , uh , you know , i 'm -- i 'm really not the person to ask . i think you should probably ask -- epiphany : clearly , you have had meetings , you 've raised money . you seem to have booked a venue for this event . why do n't i know anything about this nurses ' ball ? sabrina -- stalling is not going to do you any favors . why did you tell me about this nurses ' ball ? sabrina : felix told me not to tell you . felix : you look like you 're feeling a lot better . carly : oh . i do n't know about that , but the room 's not spinning . [ chuckles ] i just want to go home and shower and burn these clothes and -- i do n't know -- hide my head underneath a blanket for about 100 hours . felix : tell me you do n't mean that . carly : okay . maybe not 100 . at least 24 . i just want to forget that last night even happened . michael : you slept with my mother knowing she was drunk ? a.j . : no , no , no . michael : you said you spent the night with her . a.j . : wait a second . hang on . i 'm not trying to give you the wrong impression here . i was trying to help carly . michael : help her ? help her how exactly ? a.j . : she was drunk -- okay ? -- and she could n't drive . and so she insisted on going back to the hotel , so i followed her to some guy 's room . i do n't know . this guy apparently hurt her somehow . i 'm not clear . michael : todd manning -- starr 's father . a.j . : okay . well , i do n't know what the details are , but she grabbed a pair of scissors , and she shredded every single suit that that guy had in his closet . michael : you stood there and watched ? a.j . : what was i gon na do ? she was drunk . we both know how she feels about me . something bad could have happened . michael : you could have called me or something . a.j . : come on , michael . i did n't want you to see her that way , you know ? i just -- i - i decided to stay over . i wanted to watch out for her . i - i did what i could do . michael : after everything she 's done to you ? a.j . : michael , i did it for you . i mean , no matter how i feel about carly , she 's your mother . carly : i have a tendency to deal with one disaster by making an even bigger one . a perfect example was last night . i was angry , i went out , and i made everything worse . now i just need to take a step back and regroup . felix : really ? 'cause it sounds to me like you 're just hiding out . carly : no . nothing wrong with counting to 10 . felix : you lost me . carly : it does n't matter . look , there 's no hope for my hair or for todd 's wardrobe . but -- i need to stop and think for a minute . i need to think about what i did to get myself here and to stop it from happening again . felix : that 's one way of looking at it . carly : you have a better idea ? felix : well , if i were in your shoes -- and , by the way , those shoes are fabulous -- i would walk downstairs , get my hair fixed , put on my best dress , find that buster , and parade in front of him and let him know he did n't ruin my life . todd : you remember when you told me that carly would forgive me ? diane : well , carly is a difficult woman to predict . she can be volatile , and that 's putting it mildly . you know , jason used to pay me triple to handle carly . todd : h - hold on . if carly was married to jax , why would jason be paying you to represent carly at all ? diane : jason and carly were friends . that 's the only story i ever got . todd : carly said she was my friend . she told me she would have stood by me if i had just told her the truth . diane : she probably would have . todd : hold on . you flat - out told me that i should never tell carly anything about me hurting jason . diane : carly was in the first throes of grief . it is also never legally advisable for you to confide in someone who may be later called to testify against you . now , having said all of that , i think i may have misread carly , because for all of her faults , she 's a remarkably loyal woman . so , yes , i think she might have stood by you if you had just told her the truth . todd : now -- she tells me this now . you 're telling me this now ? there 's nothing i can do to fix it . diane : well , as long as we are telling truths , if i had set aside my professional concerns and said , `` fine , todd , tell carly everything , bare your soul , `` would you have done it ? did n't think so . lucy : he can say he 's a cop and he can pretend he 's a human being , but he is king of the vampires . tracy : good grief . alexis : what are you doing here ? mcbain : i 'm leaving . lucy : no , you 're not ! do n't you move , caleb ! alexis : his name is n't caleb ! lucy : i do n't care what he calls himself now . what did you call yourself before ? father michael morley -- a priest . and then it was stephen clay -- a rock star . same ma -- no , excuse me . same vampire . tracy : ca n't you shut her up ? ! lucy : he is a shape - shifter ! no , you do n't . judge horowitz : control your client . alexis : easier said than done , your honor . lucy : bloodsucker ! mac : lucy ! what are you doing ? ! lucy ! lucy : i swear , mac , i have to help -- [ indistinct shouting ] alexis : i am recommending that my client get a full psychiatric evaluation , and i am changing my plea to not guilty by reason of insanity ! tracy : no , no , no , no ! britt : what did i say ? patrick : no . nothing -- nothing bad . i just -- i want to make sure there 's no misunderstandings between us , okay ? like , i think you 're great . i - i really -- i really like you . i think you 're smart , you 're sexy , you 're -- you 're beautiful , and -- and i really want to keep seeing you . it 's just -- britt : okay . [ chuckles ] so far , so good . patrick : this is all new for me . i 'm trying to navigate dating and -- and doing what 's best for emma , and -- and i -- it 's hard for me to kind of look into long - range plans . and if that does n't fit into your schedule or if that 's something you do n't want , i understand that . britt : no , no , no . i - i - i get it . i 've never been a long - range kind of girl , so whatever you need . patrick : you sure ? great . so we can -- we can do this ? we can have fun one -- one day at a time ? britt : yeah , it works for me . epiphany : why would felix tell you not to discuss the nurses ' ball with me ? sabrina : oh , you know felix . he loves to create -- epiphany : yes , sabrina . and i know you , too . you are one of the worst liars i have ever met . sabrina : oh . well -- [ sighs ] epiphany : i am your supervisor . you tell me the truth right now . why did n't you tell me about the nurses ' ball ? sabrina : well , felix said -- `` she has no sense of fun . `` epiphany : i have n -- no sense of fun ? i 'm one of the most fun people that i know . sabrina : oh , you 're so fun . epiphany : wait until i get my hands on him . i 'm gon na show that boy who 's fun . sabrina : [ gasps ] ow . [ exhales sharply ] felix : honey , a woman like you should never show her hand , especially to some undeserving man . carly : you make a good point . thank you . felix : anytime . carly : how much do i owe you ? felix : sorry ? carly : you saved me from a horrible hangover . you gave me great advice . you deserve to be compensated . what do you want ? felix : a discount for the ballroom for the nurses ' ball ? carly : i can do better than that . i 'll donate it . you -- you can have it -- for nothing . felix : seriously ? carly : yeah , seriously . it 's yours . your earned it . felix : [ chuckles ] uh , can i get that in writing , you know , for the committee ? carly : yes , yes , yes . write whatever you want , and i 'll sign it . felix : you are a goddess . todd manning is a fool . carly : he is -- 'cause i was gon na be his best friend . but he blew it . and now is not the time for me to curl up and bury my head , as scraggly as it may be . michael : thank you for looking after my mother . a.j . : well , it gave me a chance to prove myself to you . michael : i knew she was hurting over this whole thing with starr 's dad and she can be reckless and act out , but she should have never pushed you to drink . a.j . : hey , look , you know , she was n't exactly her best self last night , and , uh , i think what we ought to do is just forget all about it , put our heads together , and figure out how we 're gon na get rid of tracy . lucy : you can not let him just get away , mac ! listen to me ! he 's a bloodsucker ! you ca n't just turn him loose on the town ! todd : is that who staked mcbain ? hey ! hey ! nice job ! diane : stop that . tracy : you promised me you would n't use that word . you know what 's gon na happen to me at elq ? alexis : she 's nuts . i had to use the insanity plea . tracy : so , what am i , collateral damage ? alexis : look at it this way -- at least she 's not going to jail . todd : package delivered , mcbain . you 're free to go . mcbain : and miss all the fun ? i ai n't going anywhere . todd : okay , well , try not to suck anybody 's blood during the arraignment . diane : all right . boys , boys , play nice . come on . mcbain : oh , allow me . diane : thank you . patrick : i know i sound like a broken record , but thank you , again , for listening to me and -- and understanding -- britt : you 're right . why -- why ruin a good thing ? sabrina : oh . patrick : hey , um , i was looking for you . sabrina : you were ? patrick : yeah , you , uh , you left your case at my house . sabrina : oh . thank you . britt : let 's go get some coffee . patrick : okay . diane : carly , you look , uh , different . todd : you look amazing . carly : thank you . todd : i 'm so happy you came . carly : do n't be . i only came to see you charged . diane : okay . time to focus . todd : i am focused . diane : [ sighs ] now , you listen to me . when the judge asks you how you plead , you say -- you say , `` not guilty . `` you do n't say anything else . i 'm going to handle all of the arguments . now , i 'm going to ask for bail , but , of course , they will not grant bail [ clears throat ] because -- bailiff : all rise . court is now in session . the honorable judge adam horowitz presiding . judge horowitz : you may be seated . who 's before us ?

todd : i am not guilty . diane : your honor , at this time , i would like to request bail -- todd : the person who did those things ... is not me . michael : look , tracy 's smart . she 's gon na find a way to distance herself from lucy . a.j . : well , she can try , but she 's not gon na convince the other shareholders . michael : i just do n't want you to be disappointed , okay ? you almost drank last night . if this thing falls through -- a.j . : i know . i know . i did n't , and i wo n't . tracy : that infernal vampire woman is ruining everything . ned , i begged her to keep her mouth shut , but , no , she shot it off , and now i have a certifiable co - c.e.o . , giving a.j . and his mini - me exactly what they need to force me -- out . a.j . : do n't stop on our account . lucy : [ sighs ] i thought the idea was to get me out on bail ! alexis : you 're way past bail . lucy : [ sighs ] felicia : alexis has arranged for you to see a doctor . lucy : i do n't -- i do n't need a doctor . just let me go , find caleb , and get rid of him . and then i 'll be fine . felicia : we 'll see you soon . mac : time to go . lucy : no ! no ! i do n't want you to . please . why are you going ?

jason : you really do n't need to do that . elizabeth : tired of being taken care of ? jason : i can wash my own hands . elizabeth : really ? it might be kind of tricky with this cast . jason : well , you got me there . elizabeth : [ chuckles ] and besides , it 's my job . jason : it still seems your skills could be put to better use elsewhere . elizabeth : mm . so you 're not tired of being taken care of . you 're just tired of being taken care of by me . jason : actually , you 're the best thing i can remember . elizabeth : i 'll be done in a second , and then you can forget about detective falconeri taking your prints ... unless , of course , they find your real name . jason : hmm . anna : is this true ? was liesl obrecht released from custody ? dr. obrecht : nathan , please . wo n't you give me a chance ? five minutes -- that 's all i ask . no . magda ? madeline : hello , liesl . and for the record , i prefer `` madeline . `` maxie : nathan . hi . nathan : i guess this is the part where i pretend like i 'm not glad to see you . never really any good at pretending , anyways . patrick : it 's been five minutes . sam : which means luke should be here any second now . [ bell jingles ] jerry : ah , thank you so much for saving my seat . tracy : you 're not luke . jerry : how astute , ms . quartermaine -- or should i say mrs. spencer these days ? anna : obrecht is supposed to be locked up downstairs . why the hell was she released ? dante : i do n't know . if it were up to me , she 'd still be down there . i do n't want her walking around free any more than you do . anna : well , then what happened ? why was she let go ? dante : her lawyer happened . it was a 48-hour hold , and that was up , and the judge issued a release warrant . i had nothing to keep her here for . i did n't know what she was here for in the first place . anna : i was working on the charges . i just did n't have enough evidence . god , it would have been a coup just to win jurisdiction . dante : what are the charges ? anna : murder . she shot and killed detective west 's father right in front of me . maxie : i 'm happy to see you , too -- stupid overreaching judges be damned . maxie : that we ran into each other at the gym like millions of people do every day ? nathan : the point is , walters forbid us to run into each other anywhere . maxie : he would n't be caught dead exercising at a place like this . nathan : hey , some people might say that if you can work out here , so can walters . maxie : i can throw a punch . nathan : i said `` some people . `` i would never assume . how was your workout , by the way ? maxie : oh , i did n't work out . i would n't be caught dead exercising at a place like this . nathan : no yoga ? maxie : hey ! nathan : all right . okay , low blow . i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . nice form . maxie : thank you . no , i came here because i knew lulu was taking a kickboxing class , and i needed to vent about the perversion of justice that happened on our date and how we 're not allowed to see each other anymore . you did n't come here looking for me , did you ? nathan : no , no , i did n't -- i did n't know you were gon na be here . i just came here to blow off some steam . maxie : what kind of steam ? nathan : the mom kind . dr. obrecht : how did you get into nathan 's apartment ? madeline : would you care for a gin and tonic ? dr. obrecht : [ sighs ] nathan ? nathan ? wo bist du ? madeline : he 's not here . dr. obrecht : what have you done with him ? madeline : `` done with him `` ? really , liesl , your flair for the melodramatic is creeping through . dr. obrecht : as if harming family is unfathomable to you . you 're a walking greek tragedy . madeline : look who 's talking . dr. obrecht : i would never harm nathan . madeline : neither would i . need i remind you ? i raised that boy since infancy . dr. obrecht : you did the same for your daughter , and look how that turned out . travis : you paged me , dr. clay ? silas : yeah , travis . i want to speak to you about a patient . travis : which patient ? silas : my wife . sam : jerry jacks ? that man refuses to die . patrick : we ca n't leave tracy alone with him , sam . he 's dangerous . sam : you think ? patrick : we 've got to call somebody . he 's an international fugitive . sam : i know . i know . just give it a second . let 's see how this plays out . jerry : are you surprised to see me , tracy , or is this vacant stare from the space cake ? tracy : luke dropped you off the side of the metro court hotel when you were rotting through with polonium poisoning . tracy : you should be dead two times over . how are you alive ? jerry : well , `` alive `` is a fluid concept . tracy : oh , please . are you a vampire now ? jerry : oh , well , it does have a certain appeal , but i simply ... recovered . tracy : how ? jerry : well , it took some going , but i managed to cling to life and procure myself another dose . tracy : from whom ? jerry : from the only person who had it to give -- luke . jason : i 'm not sure i want my prints to show up in some law - enforcement database . what if i have unpaid parking tickets ? elizabeth : small price to pay to know who you are , right ? jason : yeah . if i have a family out there , it 's not right to leave them wondering , but , uh , i might change my mind if that cop comes back in here with handcuffs . elizabeth : that cop -- his name is dante , and he 's actually a pretty good guy . he used to work with my ex - husband lucky . jason : `` lucky , `` huh ? does n't really sound like an appropriate name for someone who could n't hold on to you . elizabeth : if you 're trying to get out of physical therapy , you 're gon na have to do better than that . jason : ah , ma'am , i hide from nothing -- not fingerprints , not physical therapy , not the past i ca n't remember . i 'm more just curious about -- elizabeth : yeah , welcome to the club . i am more than curious to find out who you are . jason : [ chuckles ] no , actually . i meant i was curious about your ex . he is a cop ? elizabeth : he was until he moved out of the country a few years ago after our divorce . jason : huh . i take it your ex is my quasi - namesake 's father ? elizabeth : well , he raised jake , but he was n't his biological father . that was someone else -- a really good friend of mine -- a man named jason . elizabeth : i think i 've disturbed you long enough . i 'm gon na get going and let you get some rest , okay ? jason : i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to pry . i hope i had better social skills in my previous life , right ? elizabeth : [ chuckles ] jason : i do n't want to chase you out with my insensitive questions . elizabeth : no , they were n't insensitive . it 's just that i 've thought about jason more over the past few days than i have in months . jason : he 's not around either ? elizabeth : he died . maxie : so , what 's going on with your mother ? nathan : do n't worry about it . maxie : no . come on . tell me everything obrecht did . nathan : maxie , look , i appreciate your concern -- i do . maxie : then tell me all about it . nathan : i just do n't want to get you in trouble with judge walters , all right ? look , my mother problems -- numerous and ongoing though they may be -- they 're just not worth it , all right ? maxie : so , what -- we 're just supposed to pretend we do n't know each other ? nathan : well , that seems to be the judge 's preference . maxie : you know , you 're doing a really good job of covering it up , but i can tell you 're upset , and i ca n't just walk away without finding out why . nathan : i 'll get over it . maxie : i wo n't . so tell me what 's going on with you . i might actually be able to help . it 's not totally unheard of . nathan : all right , you have a remarkable track record for making me feel better . maxie : so ... ? nathan : all right , i was at the station , and i found out that my mother 's been released from custody . maxie : i ca n't believe they let her go after -- actually , i 'm not even sure i know what she was arrested for this time . nathan : well , neither did i . the commissioner 's been really tight - lipped about it . maxie : that 's not like anna . nathan : i know , but then i found out why she 's been so reluctant to get into it with me . my mother told me she shot and killed my father at crichton - clark . maxie : obrecht killed victor ? nathan : yeah . maxie : why ? nathan : to hear her tell it , she did it for me . anna : victor was cuffed and in my custody , and obrecht shot him point - blank . there was no real justification for her doing that . and the problem is there was just the three of us in the office , so it 's my word against hers . dante : you do n't have any physical evidence to back you up ? anna : we do n't have victor 's body . that was annihilated in the explosion at the clinic . i have been working for the last 48 hours just to find one little shred of evidence that i can use to hold her . dante : and your sworn statement is n't enough to do that ? anna : how can it be ? come on , dante . seriously , with -- given our history , her lawyer would argue that i 'm acting on some personal vendetta . well , i mean , that 's -- that 's not far from the truth . that woman deserves life in prison at the very least . dante : yeah , she does . look , after what she put me and lulu through , i would love to help you take her down . if there 's anything i can do to help you , you just let me know . anna : i think victor is the key to putting her away for good . dante : what are you thinking ? anna : motive . why did she shoot victor right in front of me ? i mean , we already know that he was supposed to be nathan 's father . that 's already come out . so she 's hiding something -- something that she could n't risk victor knowing . and i think when i find out what that is , that 's the way we can neutralize obrecht once and for all . madeline : i have had a very trying day . i 'm not interested in reminiscing -- certainly not with you . dr. obrecht : yes , i 'm sure escaping from prison is very taxing . madeline : you should know . dr. obrecht : i was n't in prison . i was erroneously detained . madeline : that happens to you a lot , does n't it ? dr. obrecht : i was released when cooler heads acknowledged there were no charges which could be filed against me . madeline : oh . i see . okay , then , what have you gotten away with this time ? dr. obrecht : nothing he did n't have coming . madeline : `` he `` ? do n't tell me you finally turned on that psychotic dane . oh . no . of course not . you will remain deluded until the bitter end . dr. obrecht : the police could n't prove anything , but that wo n't stop them from trying to get me back in their clutches , and i refuse to be taken in for harboring a fugitive . madeline : oh , liesl , stop it . i was released . apparently , i 'm as innocent as you are . dr. obrecht : you were convicted of two murders . madeline : there was a , um , chain - of - evidence problem concerning the pharmacist . and then the other charge -- murder -- never actually happened . in case you have n't noticed , i mean , with all your intrigues and everything , my daughter nina is very much alive . travis : i may only be a physical therapist , but i 'm still bound by the same privacy laws as doctors are . i ca n't talk to you about your wife . silas : yeah . i just wanted to thank you for all your hard work . travis : oh ? silas : hmm . yeah , nina surprised me the other day . showed me that her wheelchair days are over . i owe you one . travis : [ chuckles ] ah , i was just doing my job . silas : no . working miracles is more like it . travis : [ chuckles ] silas : not only is nina up and running around , literally , but she told me she 's been able to walk for awhile now . i mean , you 've achieved extraordinary results in a very short period of time . travis : um , thanks , but , um , the credit goes to nina . silas : yes . yes . i would n't sell yourself short . if i were you , i 'd suggest that you send nina 's case out to the medical journals for review . travis : oh . well , mrs. clay 's success may be isolated . she was very determined . silas : oh , she is determined , but i 'm more interested in how you did it and how fast you did it . exactly when did nina get up and on her feet ? jerry : dr. scorpio - drake turned luke 's blood into an elixir for sufferers of polonium poisoning . he was good enough to bestow upon me the gift of life . tracy : luke would never help you . jerry : are you sure ? think about it . he 's a practical man . he knows a good deal when he hears one . patrick : i do n't know if we should be worried for jerry or tracy . sam : i would say definitely tracy . um , look , i 'm gon na call for reinforcements . please keep an eye on her . patrick : be careful , sam . sam : i will . excuse me . pardon me . jerry : ah , sweet sam . could you and dr. drake please join us ? we have so much to discuss . patrick : watch it . sam : get your hands off of me . jerry : gentlemen , these are guests . so good of you to join us . oh , uh , ober , a sample of your best edibles , als je wilt . patrick : we expected to sit down and eat with you , jerry ? what are you -- crazy ? tracy : patrick , please . jerry : i hear a grievance coming , and here i was hoping -- patrick : you shot my wife . tracy : patrick ! jerry : can we skip the boring recitations about my many transgressions ? patrick : you faked her death , and you held her hostage , letting us all believe that she was dead -- enslaved her just to come up with your cure . god , i wish she failed . jerry : and , uh , look at me . here i am -- fit as a fiddle , ready to play . tracy : thanks to luke . it all adds up . julian jerome has been partnering with you , not luke . jerry : well , that 's an intriguing theory . tracy : number one -- jerry 's always been mobbed up . number two -- luke always thought that the jeromes were connected to him when he found ava wandering the alley after jerry took the swan dive off the metro court . sam : ava was there that night ? tracy : yes . luke knew that the jeromes helped him disappear , but he could n't figure out why . jerry : well , perhaps it was my winning personality . i mean , you 've always found me charming , have n't you ? sam : you 're a sociopath . jerry : you see ? she loves me . i mean , you ca n't always be perfect . tracy : do n't you see what this means ? he is the jeromes ' partner . sam : spencer said that luke ordered the crash . tracy : it was just a misdirection . he framed luke . he 's the one that 's been behind all of it ! patrick : or they 're working together . anna : look , it pains me to say this , but we 're gon na have to put obrecht on the back burner just temporarily right now . dante : so , what -- she gets to walk away from yet another murder ? anna : yes , another . dante : [ scoffs ] anna : but we have a slew of other cases that we have to concentrate on . dante : yeah , we do , like this . anna : what is it ? dante : i went to gh . to follow up on the joe doe that was hit out on 31 a couple weeks ago . anna : oh , yeah ? he 's still a john doe ? dante : still . still . he does n't remember anything about his life . calling him jake . do n't know his last name . anna : does he remember anything about the accident ? dante : nothing before waking up at the hospital , which also means that he does n't know that it 's ava jerome that actually ran him off the road , and not jordan ashford . anna : well , that 's good for jordan , at least . i 'm sorry he 's lost his memory . what about his i.d . ? did n't he have anything on his person ? dante : nothing . nothing . the guy 's a blank slate . i took his fingerprints . if this guy 's in the system , we 'll know who he is soon enough . jason : i 'm sorry for your loss . elizabeth : thank you . jason : not surprised you do n't want to talk about him . elizabeth : no , it 's fine . jason was an incredible person , and he was a really good friend and very loved . i do n't mind talking about him at all . i just usually do n't have a reason to . jason : was his death the reason your ex raised his son ? elizabeth : no . no , jason was n't in a position to be a father to jake . jason : what kind of position was he in ? elizabeth : well , he had already made some choices that made it complicated for him to be a parent . he could never claim his son , but i always made sure he was a presence in jake 's life , even if it was in a small way . jason : how so ? elizabeth : i named our son jacob martin so he 'd have the same initials as his dad , jason morgan . it was the only way i knew how to honor who they were to each other . maxie : nathan , i am so sorry . i do n't even really know what to say . i mean , i 've been through a lot with my mom over the years , but she 's never admitted to killing someone and then claimed it was for me , so ... i do n't really know how you 're feeling . nathan : yeah , that makes two of us . and now she 's all full - court press and trying make inroads and ... maxie : okay , well , you do n't owe her anything . nathan : i know . i know . but britt keeps insisting that there 's more to her , and i guess because of britt , i considered getting to know her . and then blindsides me with this . my mother killed my father . what the hell ? first , madeline tries to kill my sister , and now this ? what kind of a family do i come from , anyways ? maxie : what do you mean ? nathan : i mean i 've obviously inherited some pretty messed - up genes . what if i turn out like one of them ? maxie : no , that 's impossible . you 're already a hero . it 's too late to be anything else . lulu : [ clears throat ] it 's probably not the best idea . dr. obrecht : i assure you , magda , i 'm well aware of nina 's survival . i could n't miss her trundling around the hospital . did you hear ? i 've been made chief of staff . madeline : is it a doll hospital ? dr. obrecht : i have been a huge success . i have brought efficiency and the level of care to unprecedented heights . so you see , everything 's coming up liesl . madeline : congratulations . dr. obrecht : that hospital is my domain . there is n't much that gets by me , including my niece 's lackadaisical approach to physical therapy . she obviously inherited your work ethic . madeline : oh , yes , i 'm sure you were in a perfect position to observe her from your cell at the pcpd . dr. obrecht : i took note of it before my recent sojourn . i did my familial duty -- urged nina to redouble her efforts to make herself mobile . but something about her indifference made me wonder . madeline : wonder what ? dr. obrecht : whether nina needs her wheelchair at all . silas : there we go . travis , understand this -- no one else has to know what you 've been up to with nina . travis : `` up to `` ? silas : so , travis , you were saying -- when did nina regain full mobility ? [ cell phone chimes ] travis : um ... about ... three weeks ago . silas : about three weeks ago ? yeah , three weeks . that ... that sounds about right . it also sounds like what nina told you to say . so how about now you tell me the truth ? nina : travis , do n't you dare screw this up for me . [ cell phone chimes ] silas : oh , wait . wait . this just in . nina 's waiting for an answer , travis . and so am i . travis : dr. clay , really , i do n't understand any of this . [ cell phone chimes ] silas : you know , travis , that 's not gon na cut it this time . what 's nina so worried about ? travis : can i have my phone back , please ? those are private messages . silas : nina 's been able to walk for a lot longer than three weeks , has n't she ? ! you know it , and i know it . you 've been covering for her , have n't you , travis ? travis : dr. clay -- [ cell phone chimes ] travis : i would never -- [ sighs ] you 're mistaken . silas : am i ? travis : [ sighs ] oh , no . silas : whew ! nina 's pissed . not as pissed as i 'm gon na be or obrecht when she finds out about your little criminal enterprises . travis : what criminal enterprise ? silas : insurance fraud 's a felony , travis . you know that , right ? you 've been billing my insurance for months for physical - therapy sessions that nina neither attended or needed . travis : [ sighs ] silas : obrecht 's gon na fire your ass . and then she 's gon na take the case to the police department . or maybe this just stays between us . maybe no one else needs to know about it , but for that to happen , you have to tell me everything . you have to tell me the real story , and you need to tell it to me now . travis : she never needed the chair . she could always walk . madeline : you think nina is faking her disability ? dr. obrecht : the thought had occurred to me . madeline : well , it also occurred to you to spend your life running after that danish megalomaniac . dr. obrecht : so ? madeline : your judgment is suspect . dr. obrecht : this is a matter of observation and deduction , not one of taste . nina has an air of deceit about her -- the same one you wear like cheap perfume . she 's a liar , a secret keeper . i would n't be surprised if she 's a bit unbalanced . madeline : is that your professional opinion ? dr. obrecht : yes . i 've seen it before in the clinic i ran in switzerland . sometimes , coma victims awaken with injuries to their souls , not just their bodies . you would do well to tread carefully around nina , lest you find yourself the object of your daughter 's cockeyed gaze . madeline : really , liesl , i think you ought to turn your talents to romantic fiction . dr. obrecht : if your daughter is as demented as the patients i 've treated in the past , there 's no limit to what she 's capable of , especially to the person who put her in the coma to begin with . madeline : you do n't know a damn thing about nina , and i 'm telling you , unless you want a full - on confrontation between your bigger and better sister , you 'd better just shut your mouth and leave my daughter alone . dr. obrecht : struck a nerve , have i ? lulu : hey , nathan . maxie : i thought you were in a class . lulu : um , it 's over . you must have lost track of time . i actually left rocco with the instructor for a second 'cause i was looking for rocco 's lovey . [ chuckles ] maxie : okay , well , give rocco a kiss for me . lulu : okay . nathan : yeah , i was just gon na go work out . lulu : i do n't want to stick my nose in your business . okay , you guys know that i 'm on your side definitely . maxie : and ... ? lulu : you should know that jamie callahan was in my kickboxing class . maxie : who is she ? nathan : she 's a security guard . she works at the courthouse . lulu : yeah , and she 's a notorious gossip . i do n't want to be paranoid about judge walters , but if jamie sees you two together , i mean , it 'll definitely get around . nathan : yeah , and maxie 's chances of visitation with georgie will go down the drain . lulu : just wanted to give you the heads - up . maxie : thanks , lulu . nathan : yeah , thanks . lulu : good luck , you two . nathan : lulu 's right . we got to say goodbye ... again . patrick : if jerry and luke are working together , then this all makes sense . tracy : why are doctors so stupid about everything but medicine ? luke would never partner with jerry ! he hates him ! jerry : she 's right about that . tracy : see ? sam : wait a minute . but we ca n't discount the whole idea . luke is the one who brought us to amsterdam to begin with . patrick : luke contacted you , right , tracy ? he texted you to meet at this café . look who showed up . tracy : and is luke here ? no ! because they 're not working together . [ cell phone beeps ] tracy : it 's from luke . sam : what does it say ? tracy : `` unless someone sent the text from luke 's phone . `` jerry : someone like me . jason : it 's too bad your jason made the choices he made and could n't be a father to your son . i 'm sure he regretted it . elizabeth : why would you think so ? jason : instinct . dr. granville : excuse me , nurse webber . elizabeth : hi , dr. granville . um , this is jake . jake , this is -- dr. granville : i 'm the plastic surgeon who performed your facial reconstruction after your accident . jason : i hear you had a lot of work to do . dr. granville : work that i 'm very anxious to unveil , though i can imagine not nearly as anxious as you are . elizabeth : jake is doing amazingly well . he 's a fast healer . dr. granville : good . so , why wait ? why do n't we finally get those bandages off and take a look at what lies beneath ? nathan : i 'm gon na take off . maxie : no , no , no . um , i 'll go . you did n't even work out yet . nathan : it 's okay . i 'm -- i 'm not feeling it anymore . take care of yourself , okay ? [ sighs ] maxie : nathan , just so you know , i am not taking this lying down . nathan : look , maxie , we 've been over this , okay ? you ca n't risk your chances with georgie just to date me . maxie : no , i 'm not taking any risks . i 'm just gon na go with my initial instinct and call diane miller . nathan : i thought you reconsidered . maxie : more like i have been paralyzed by fear , but lulu helped me see that i ca n't be passive about this . nathan : i have never seen you be passive about anything . maxie : i am gon na talk to diane , and i think she can come up with a strategy to beat walters . she 's good like that . nathan : that she is . but for now , i got to go . maxie : you got to go . i know . but hey , i - i want you to know that i 'm not gon na give up on this , and i do n't think you should either . dr. obrecht : why so touchy , schwester ? madeline : i do n't like your insinuations about nina . she is fine . you 'd be better off concentrating on your own daughter . are n't you at all worried about the fact that she may have stolen a baby while you were in lockup ? dr. obrecht : do not bury your head in the sand , magda . nina was n't well at the time of her coma , and it 's not likely her condition has improved after missing 20 years of her life . madeline : for god 's sake , she was on a mild antidepressant . that is all . dr. obrecht : mild ... unless taken in large quantities . mild unless she 's been overdosed by a mother out to protect her own wealth by murdering her unborn grandchild . madeline : this is a subject on which you are grievously misinformed . dr. obrecht : of what am i mistaken ? you are proved to have poisoned nina , and the baby she was carrying died as a result . what part of that is untrue ? nina : okay , listen , travis . i did n't mean to be harsh . [ sighs ] please tell me what 's happening before i make you regret it . silas : nina could walk from the moment you met her ? you tell me everything . you tell me now . [ cell phone chimes ] travis : it started the moment you dropped mrs. clay off for her first appointment . i tried to examine her , and she slapped me . travis : aah ! travis : at first , i just thought she was resistant to the idea of therapy . but then she stood up , pushed the wheelchair aside -- perfectly fine . i did n't understand why she came to see me . she said she was putting on a show for you . then she told me she 'd pay me to keep her secret , and she handed me a very large check . silas : [ sighs ] nina supposedly does n't have any money . did the check clear ? travis : yeah , no problem . her nurse , rosalie , said nina has plenty of money , despite what she told you . silas : at any point , did you consider coming to me and telling me what she was up to ? travis : your wife scares me . i did n't want to get on her bad side . [ cell phone chimes ] silas : you 've got my attention now , nina . anna : thank you . lulu : hey . dante : hey . lulu : oh , hello . mm . dante : where is my boy ? where 's rocco ? lulu : oh , you have to ask ? murphy confiscated rocco on my way in . anna : ohh . lulu : he insisted on some face time with the little guy . anna : you 'd think with three of his own at home , he 'd have enough of kids . lulu : well , rocco adores him , so i 'm fine with it . anna : yeah . lulu : is there any news on my dad ? have you heard from patrick , sam , tracy ? dante : actually , you know what ? uh , tracy 's meeting with luke was supposed to happen right about now , so we should hear something pretty soon . lulu : good . well , any minute , we should be getting confirmation that my dad 's supposed alliance with julian jerome is a bunch of bull . anna . you know my dad . you do n't actually believe this ridiculous story , do you ? anna : i just think it needs to be followed up on , that 's all . lulu : well , it 's -- it 's impossible if you just look at the timeline . i mean , when julian jerome came to port charles and started challenging sonny , my dad -- my dad -- he was dying of polonium poisoning . he was out running around , looking for a cure . there was no time to be plotting with jerome . he was competing for a cure with jerry jacks . tracy : you have luke 's phone . oh , my god , you 've got luke , too . jerry : and the penny finally drops . tracy : this explains why he 's been so out of touch , why he did n't return any of my phone calls , that ridiculous missing - passport excuse , why he did n't come home when lulu disappeared . jerry : yes , i read your missives about lulu with concern . i take it she 's home safe and sound ? sam : like you give a damn . jerry : oh , no , no . i have fond memories of lulu when she was a hostage at the metro court . on the whole , she was far more cooperative than you were , sweet sam , but not nearly as fun . patrick : back off , jerry . jerry : oh , come on . not to worry . sam enjoys our -- sam : you know what i would like to do ? put a bullet in your skull right now . jerry : [ chuckles ] alas , if only jason was here to do it for you . sam : you shut up . jerry : oh , no . i assure you , i mean it as a compliment . jason 's the only opponent to have presented a challenge to myself . tracy : who gives a damn about jason ? jerry : well , sam , evidently . i hope you 're not too intimidated . i mean , it 's so hard to follow great love . sam : shut up ! jerry : you did love jason , did n't you ? sam : it is not fair that he 's dead and you 're alive . jerry : it 's not fair , i know . but so little in life is , is n't it ? tracy : i want to hear about my husband . you did n't strike a deal with him to get the cure . you kidnapped him , did n't you ? jerry : you got me . [ chuckles ] and i have luke . so , the question facing us all is , what am i gon na do with him ? nathan : maxie , i do n't want to give up on us either , but i also do n't want us to invest in a future that does n't have a chance of happening . maxie : well , i think we have a chance . you stood by me through everything with the unmentionable . you refused to walk away even when i was horrible to you . do n't let this be the end of the line , nathan -- at least not until i 've talked to diane . please promise me . nathan : look , the only promise that i can make you is i 'll always be there for you , no matter what happens . maxie : ow ! ow . oh , god . dr. obrecht : out with it , magda . tell me which of your crimes against your daughter i got wrong . madeline : i 'm not going to discuss my daughter with you . i 'm here to see my son . dr. obrecht : more delusion . nathan is your nephew , not your son . madeline : i raised him . dr. obrecht : we 've already been over this . why are you so eager to change the subject from your only living offspring ? what is it about nina that you 're holding back , hmm ? silas : [ scoffs ] you leaving anything out ? travis : that 's everything . i swear . well ... silas : say it . say it . travis : [ sighs ] there is one thing . travis : i 'm getting the impression you do n't care much for dr. clay . nina : oh , travis . you have no idea . travis : your wife told me she does n't like you very much . silas : [ chuckles ] no kidding . travis : so , that 's it ? you wo n't report me to chief obrecht ? silas : i 'm not concerned with you -- just nina . travis : what are you gon na do ? nina : nothing ? nothing , travis ? fine . be that way . i 'll deal with this on my own . anna : look , we have far more questions than we have answers right now about luke 's potential association with julian , but i 'm thinking that with our friends meeting with him in amsterdam , we 'll be able to shed more light on it . patrick : what are you gon na do with luke ? jerry : well , that 's the question , is n't it ? tracy : oh , stop stalling . where is he ? jerry : well , thanks to a transfusion from your hubby 's revivifying blood , i 'm feeling my oats now and have no use for my reluctant savior . tracy : then give him back . jerry : well , i 'm not one for charity , which brings me to the meeting i took such pains to arrange . clearly , luke is a thief and a liar , so he is worth something to you , as well as patrick and even sweet sam , who desires answers from him . so , tell me -- what are you willing to give in exchange for luke ? lulu : let me know when you hear anything . anna : of course . lulu : i 'm gon na go reclaim rocco and get him to bed . dante : okay . i 'll see you at home . i just got a few things to wrap up , and i 'll be right there . lulu : okay . dante : okay . anna : god , i 'm sorry this is so hard for her . dante : it is , but you know what ? she wants to know the truth , and whatever we find out about luke , we 'll deal with it . anna : yeah . all right . let 's get back to work , then . dante : yes , ma'am . you know , we may be only able to solve one mystery today . run these prints . see if we can get a hit on jake doe . dr. granville : let me know if you feel any pain . jason : i 'm good . dr. granville : okay . well ? jason : elizabeth ? what do you think ? [ next_on ] jason : ( to elizabeth ) do you recognize me or something ? [ computer beeps ] dante : ( with anna ) bingo ! jerry : do we have a deal ? britt : ( to brad ) i 'm moving out . spencer : ( to nikolas ) i 'm finally gon na have a mother ! nathan : ( to liesl and madeline ) what are you doing in my apartment ? silas : ( yelling at nina ) how do you explain what you did ! ? ? ! | patrick and sam watch while tracy waits for luke at a cafe in amsterdam . jerry jacks shows up . tracy is shocked to see that jerry is alive since he was last seen falling over the side of the metro court building at luke 's hand . he tells her that he recovered from the fall and that he got a dose of the polonium 210 cure from luke . tracy concludes that jerry is the one who is working with the jeromes , not luke . patrick suggests that they are working together . jerry reveals that he has luke 's phone . tracy concludes that jerry must have luke . jerry asks tracy what she will give him in exchange for luke . | <s>[INST] jason : you really do n't need to do that . elizabeth : tired of being taken care of ? jason : i can wash my own hands . elizabeth : really ? it might be kind of tricky with this cast . jason : well , you got me there . elizabeth : [ chuckles ] and besides , it 's my job . jason : it still seems your skills could be put to better use elsewhere . elizabeth : mm . so you 're not tired of being taken care of . you 're just tired of being taken care of by me . jason : actually , you 're the best thing i can remember . elizabeth : i 'll be done in a second , and then you can forget about detective falconeri taking your prints ... unless , of course , they find your real name . jason : hmm . anna : is this true ? was liesl obrecht released from custody ? dr. obrecht : nathan , please . wo n't you give me a chance ? five minutes -- that 's all i ask . no . magda ? madeline : hello , liesl . and for the record , i prefer `` madeline . `` maxie : nathan . hi . nathan : i guess this is the part where i pretend like i 'm not glad to see you . never really any good at pretending , anyways . patrick : it 's been five minutes . sam : which means luke should be here any second now . [ bell jingles ] jerry : ah , thank you so much for saving my seat . tracy : you 're not luke . jerry : how astute , ms . quartermaine -- or should i say mrs. spencer these days ? anna : obrecht is supposed to be locked up downstairs . why the hell was she released ? dante : i do n't know . if it were up to me , she 'd still be down there . i do n't want her walking around free any more than you do . anna : well , then what happened ? why was she let go ? dante : her lawyer happened . it was a 48-hour hold , and that was up , and the judge issued a release warrant . i had nothing to keep her here for . i did n't know what she was here for in the first place . anna : i was working on the charges . i just did n't have enough evidence . god , it would have been a coup just to win jurisdiction . dante : what are the charges ? anna : murder . she shot and killed detective west 's father right in front of me . maxie : i 'm happy to see you , too -- stupid overreaching judges be damned . maxie : that we ran into each other at the gym like millions of people do every day ? nathan : the point is , walters forbid us to run into each other anywhere . maxie : he would n't be caught dead exercising at a place like this . nathan : hey , some people might say that if you can work out here , so can walters . maxie : i can throw a punch . nathan : i said `` some people . `` i would never assume . how was your workout , by the way ? maxie : oh , i did n't work out . i would n't be caught dead exercising at a place like this . nathan : no yoga ? maxie : hey ! nathan : all right . okay , low blow . i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . nice form . maxie : thank you . no , i came here because i knew lulu was taking a kickboxing class , and i needed to vent about the perversion of justice that happened on our date and how we 're not allowed to see each other anymore . you did n't come here looking for me , did you ? nathan : no , no , i did n't -- i did n't know you were gon na be here . i just came here to blow off some steam . maxie : what kind of steam ? nathan : the mom kind . dr. obrecht : how did you get into nathan 's apartment ? madeline : would you care for a gin and tonic ? dr. obrecht : [ sighs ] nathan ? nathan ? wo bist du ? madeline : he 's not here . dr. obrecht : what have you done with him ? madeline : `` done with him `` ? really , liesl , your flair for the melodramatic is creeping through . dr. obrecht : as if harming family is unfathomable to you . you 're a walking greek tragedy . madeline : look who 's talking . dr. obrecht : i would never harm nathan . madeline : neither would i . need i remind you ? i raised that boy since infancy . dr. obrecht : you did the same for your daughter , and look how that turned out . travis : you paged me , dr. clay ? silas : yeah , travis . i want to speak to you about a patient . travis : which patient ? silas : my wife . sam : jerry jacks ? that man refuses to die . patrick : we ca n't leave tracy alone with him , sam . he 's dangerous . sam : you think ? patrick : we 've got to call somebody . he 's an international fugitive . sam : i know . i know . just give it a second . let 's see how this plays out . jerry : are you surprised to see me , tracy , or is this vacant stare from the space cake ? tracy : luke dropped you off the side of the metro court hotel when you were rotting through with polonium poisoning . tracy : you should be dead two times over . how are you alive ? jerry : well , `` alive `` is a fluid concept . tracy : oh , please . are you a vampire now ? jerry : oh , well , it does have a certain appeal , but i simply ... recovered . tracy : how ? jerry : well , it took some going , but i managed to cling to life and procure myself another dose . tracy : from whom ? jerry : from the only person who had it to give -- luke . jason : i 'm not sure i want my prints to show up in some law - enforcement database . what if i have unpaid parking tickets ? elizabeth : small price to pay to know who you are , right ? jason : yeah . if i have a family out there , it 's not right to leave them wondering , but , uh , i might change my mind if that cop comes back in here with handcuffs . elizabeth : that cop -- his name is dante , and he 's actually a pretty good guy . he used to work with my ex - husband lucky . jason : `` lucky , `` huh ? does n't really sound like an appropriate name for someone who could n't hold on to you . elizabeth : if you 're trying to get out of physical therapy , you 're gon na have to do better than that . jason : ah , ma'am , i hide from nothing -- not fingerprints , not physical therapy , not the past i ca n't remember . i 'm more just curious about -- elizabeth : yeah , welcome to the club . i am more than curious to find out who you are . jason : [ chuckles ] no , actually . i meant i was curious about your ex . he is a cop ? elizabeth : he was until he moved out of the country a few years ago after our divorce . jason : huh . i take it your ex is my quasi - namesake 's father ? elizabeth : well , he raised jake , but he was n't his biological father . that was someone else -- a really good friend of mine -- a man named jason . elizabeth : i think i 've disturbed you long enough . i 'm gon na get going and let you get some rest , okay ? jason : i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to pry . i hope i had better social skills in my previous life , right ? elizabeth : [ chuckles ] jason : i do n't want to chase you out with my insensitive questions . elizabeth : no , they were n't insensitive . it 's just that i 've thought about jason more over the past few days than i have in months . jason : he 's not around either ? elizabeth : he died . maxie : so , what 's going on with your mother ? nathan : do n't worry about it . maxie : no . come on . tell me everything obrecht did . nathan : maxie , look , i appreciate your concern -- i do . maxie : then tell me all about it . nathan : i just do n't want to get you in trouble with judge walters , all right ? look , my mother problems -- numerous and ongoing though they may be -- they 're just not worth it , all right ? maxie : so , what -- we 're just supposed to pretend we do n't know each other ? nathan : well , that seems to be the judge 's preference . maxie : you know , you 're doing a really good job of covering it up , but i can tell you 're upset , and i ca n't just walk away without finding out why . nathan : i 'll get over it . maxie : i wo n't . so tell me what 's going on with you . i might actually be able to help . it 's not totally unheard of . nathan : all right , you have a remarkable track record for making me feel better . maxie : so ... ? nathan : all right , i was at the station , and i found out that my mother 's been released from custody . maxie : i ca n't believe they let her go after -- actually , i 'm not even sure i know what she was arrested for this time . nathan : well , neither did i . the commissioner 's been really tight - lipped about it . maxie : that 's not like anna . nathan : i know , but then i found out why she 's been so reluctant to get into it with me . my mother told me she shot and killed my father at crichton - clark . maxie : obrecht killed victor ? nathan : yeah . maxie : why ? nathan : to hear her tell it , she did it for me . anna : victor was cuffed and in my custody , and obrecht shot him point - blank . there was no real justification for her doing that . and the problem is there was just the three of us in the office , so it 's my word against hers . dante : you do n't have any physical evidence to back you up ? anna : we do n't have victor 's body . that was annihilated in the explosion at the clinic . i have been working for the last 48 hours just to find one little shred of evidence that i can use to hold her . dante : and your sworn statement is n't enough to do that ? anna : how can it be ? come on , dante . seriously , with -- given our history , her lawyer would argue that i 'm acting on some personal vendetta . well , i mean , that 's -- that 's not far from the truth . that woman deserves life in prison at the very least . dante : yeah , she does . look , after what she put me and lulu through , i would love to help you take her down . if there 's anything i can do to help you , you just let me know . anna : i think victor is the key to putting her away for good . dante : what are you thinking ? anna : motive . why did she shoot victor right in front of me ? i mean , we already know that he was supposed to be nathan 's father . that 's already come out . so she 's hiding something -- something that she could n't risk victor knowing . and i think when i find out what that is , that 's the way we can neutralize obrecht once and for all . madeline : i have had a very trying day . i 'm not interested in reminiscing -- certainly not with you . dr. obrecht : yes , i 'm sure escaping from prison is very taxing . madeline : you should know . dr. obrecht : i was n't in prison . i was erroneously detained . madeline : that happens to you a lot , does n't it ? dr. obrecht : i was released when cooler heads acknowledged there were no charges which could be filed against me . madeline : oh . i see . okay , then , what have you gotten away with this time ? dr. obrecht : nothing he did n't have coming . madeline : `` he `` ? do n't tell me you finally turned on that psychotic dane . oh . no . of course not . you will remain deluded until the bitter end . dr. obrecht : the police could n't prove anything , but that wo n't stop them from trying to get me back in their clutches , and i refuse to be taken in for harboring a fugitive . madeline : oh , liesl , stop it . i was released . apparently , i 'm as innocent as you are . dr. obrecht : you were convicted of two murders . madeline : there was a , um , chain - of - evidence problem concerning the pharmacist . and then the other charge -- murder -- never actually happened . in case you have n't noticed , i mean , with all your intrigues and everything , my daughter nina is very much alive . travis : i may only be a physical therapist , but i 'm still bound by the same privacy laws as doctors are . i ca n't talk to you about your wife . silas : yeah . i just wanted to thank you for all your hard work . travis : oh ? silas : hmm . yeah , nina surprised me the other day . showed me that her wheelchair days are over . i owe you one . travis : [ chuckles ] ah , i was just doing my job . silas : no . working miracles is more like it . travis : [ chuckles ] silas : not only is nina up and running around , literally , but she told me she 's been able to walk for awhile now . i mean , you 've achieved extraordinary results in a very short period of time . travis : um , thanks , but , um , the credit goes to nina . silas : yes . yes . i would n't sell yourself short . if i were you , i 'd suggest that you send nina 's case out to the medical journals for review . travis : oh . well , mrs. clay 's success may be isolated . she was very determined . silas : oh , she is determined , but i 'm more interested in how you did it and how fast you did it . exactly when did nina get up and on her feet ? jerry : dr. scorpio - drake turned luke 's blood into an elixir for sufferers of polonium poisoning . he was good enough to bestow upon me the gift of life . tracy : luke would never help you . jerry : are you sure ? think about it . he 's a practical man . he knows a good deal when he hears one . patrick : i do n't know if we should be worried for jerry or tracy . sam : i would say definitely tracy . um , look , i 'm gon na call for reinforcements . please keep an eye on her . patrick : be careful , sam . sam : i will . excuse me . pardon me . jerry : ah , sweet sam . could you and dr. drake please join us ? we have so much to discuss . patrick : watch it . sam : get your hands off of me . jerry : gentlemen , these are guests . so good of you to join us . oh , uh , ober , a sample of your best edibles , als je wilt . patrick : we expected to sit down and eat with you , jerry ? what are you -- crazy ? tracy : patrick , please . jerry : i hear a grievance coming , and here i was hoping -- patrick : you shot my wife . tracy : patrick ! jerry : can we skip the boring recitations about my many transgressions ? patrick : you faked her death , and you held her hostage , letting us all believe that she was dead -- enslaved her just to come up with your cure . god , i wish she failed . jerry : and , uh , look at me . here i am -- fit as a fiddle , ready to play . tracy : thanks to luke . it all adds up . julian jerome has been partnering with you , not luke . jerry : well , that 's an intriguing theory . tracy : number one -- jerry 's always been mobbed up . number two -- luke always thought that the jeromes were connected to him when he found ava wandering the alley after jerry took the swan dive off the metro court . sam : ava was there that night ? tracy : yes . luke knew that the jeromes helped him disappear , but he could n't figure out why . jerry : well , perhaps it was my winning personality . i mean , you 've always found me charming , have n't you ? sam : you 're a sociopath . jerry : you see ? she loves me . i mean , you ca n't always be perfect . tracy : do n't you see what this means ? he is the jeromes ' partner . sam : spencer said that luke ordered the crash . tracy : it was just a misdirection . he framed luke . he 's the one that 's been behind all of it ! patrick : or they 're working together . anna : look , it pains me to say this , but we 're gon na have to put obrecht on the back burner just temporarily right now . dante : so , what -- she gets to walk away from yet another murder ? anna : yes , another . dante : [ scoffs ] anna : but we have a slew of other cases that we have to concentrate on . dante : yeah , we do , like this . anna : what is it ? dante : i went to gh . to follow up on the joe doe that was hit out on 31 a couple weeks ago . anna : oh , yeah ? he 's still a john doe ? dante : still . still . he does n't remember anything about his life . calling him jake . do n't know his last name . anna : does he remember anything about the accident ? dante : nothing before waking up at the hospital , which also means that he does n't know that it 's ava jerome that actually ran him off the road , and not jordan ashford . anna : well , that 's good for jordan , at least . i 'm sorry he 's lost his memory . what about his i.d . ? did n't he have anything on his person ? dante : nothing . nothing . the guy 's a blank slate . i took his fingerprints . if this guy 's in the system , we 'll know who he is soon enough . jason : i 'm sorry for your loss . elizabeth : thank you . jason : not surprised you do n't want to talk about him . elizabeth : no , it 's fine . jason was an incredible person , and he was a really good friend and very loved . i do n't mind talking about him at all . i just usually do n't have a reason to . jason : was his death the reason your ex raised his son ? elizabeth : no . no , jason was n't in a position to be a father to jake . jason : what kind of position was he in ? elizabeth : well , he had already made some choices that made it complicated for him to be a parent . he could never claim his son , but i always made sure he was a presence in jake 's life , even if it was in a small way . jason : how so ? elizabeth : i named our son jacob martin so he 'd have the same initials as his dad , jason morgan . it was the only way i knew how to honor who they were to each other . maxie : nathan , i am so sorry . i do n't even really know what to say . i mean , i 've been through a lot with my mom over the years , but she 's never admitted to killing someone and then claimed it was for me , so ... i do n't really know how you 're feeling . nathan : yeah , that makes two of us . and now she 's all full - court press and trying make inroads and ... maxie : okay , well , you do n't owe her anything . nathan : i know . i know . but britt keeps insisting that there 's more to her , and i guess because of britt , i considered getting to know her . and then blindsides me with this . my mother killed my father . what the hell ? first , madeline tries to kill my sister , and now this ? what kind of a family do i come from , anyways ? maxie : what do you mean ? nathan : i mean i 've obviously inherited some pretty messed - up genes . what if i turn out like one of them ? maxie : no , that 's impossible . you 're already a hero . it 's too late to be anything else . lulu : [ clears throat ] it 's probably not the best idea . dr. obrecht : i assure you , magda , i 'm well aware of nina 's survival . i could n't miss her trundling around the hospital . did you hear ? i 've been made chief of staff . madeline : is it a doll hospital ? dr. obrecht : i have been a huge success . i have brought efficiency and the level of care to unprecedented heights . so you see , everything 's coming up liesl . madeline : congratulations . dr. obrecht : that hospital is my domain . there is n't much that gets by me , including my niece 's lackadaisical approach to physical therapy . she obviously inherited your work ethic . madeline : oh , yes , i 'm sure you were in a perfect position to observe her from your cell at the pcpd . dr. obrecht : i took note of it before my recent sojourn . i did my familial duty -- urged nina to redouble her efforts to make herself mobile . but something about her indifference made me wonder . madeline : wonder what ? dr. obrecht : whether nina needs her wheelchair at all . silas : there we go . travis , understand this -- no one else has to know what you 've been up to with nina . travis : `` up to `` ? silas : so , travis , you were saying -- when did nina regain full mobility ? [ cell phone chimes ] travis : um ... about ... three weeks ago . silas : about three weeks ago ? yeah , three weeks . that ... that sounds about right . it also sounds like what nina told you to say . so how about now you tell me the truth ? nina : travis , do n't you dare screw this up for me . [ cell phone chimes ] silas : oh , wait . wait . this just in . nina 's waiting for an answer , travis . and so am i . travis : dr. clay , really , i do n't understand any of this . [ cell phone chimes ] silas : you know , travis , that 's not gon na cut it this time . what 's nina so worried about ? travis : can i have my phone back , please ? those are private messages . silas : nina 's been able to walk for a lot longer than three weeks , has n't she ? ! you know it , and i know it . you 've been covering for her , have n't you , travis ? travis : dr. clay -- [ cell phone chimes ] travis : i would never -- [ sighs ] you 're mistaken . silas : am i ? travis : [ sighs ] oh , no . silas : whew ! nina 's pissed . not as pissed as i 'm gon na be or obrecht when she finds out about your little criminal enterprises . travis : what criminal enterprise ? silas : insurance fraud 's a felony , travis . you know that , right ? you 've been billing my insurance for months for physical - therapy sessions that nina neither attended or needed . travis : [ sighs ] silas : obrecht 's gon na fire your ass . and then she 's gon na take the case to the police department . or maybe this just stays between us . maybe no one else needs to know about it , but for that to happen , you have to tell me everything . you have to tell me the real story , and you need to tell it to me now . travis : she never needed the chair . she could always walk . madeline : you think nina is faking her disability ? dr. obrecht : the thought had occurred to me . madeline : well , it also occurred to you to spend your life running after that danish megalomaniac . dr. obrecht : so ? madeline : your judgment is suspect . dr. obrecht : this is a matter of observation and deduction , not one of taste . nina has an air of deceit about her -- the same one you wear like cheap perfume . she 's a liar , a secret keeper . i would n't be surprised if she 's a bit unbalanced . madeline : is that your professional opinion ? dr. obrecht : yes . i 've seen it before in the clinic i ran in switzerland . sometimes , coma victims awaken with injuries to their souls , not just their bodies . you would do well to tread carefully around nina , lest you find yourself the object of your daughter 's cockeyed gaze . madeline : really , liesl , i think you ought to turn your talents to romantic fiction . dr. obrecht : if your daughter is as demented as the patients i 've treated in the past , there 's no limit to what she 's capable of , especially to the person who put her in the coma to begin with . madeline : you do n't know a damn thing about nina , and i 'm telling you , unless you want a full - on confrontation between your bigger and better sister , you 'd better just shut your mouth and leave my daughter alone . dr. obrecht : struck a nerve , have i ? lulu : hey , nathan . maxie : i thought you were in a class . lulu : um , it 's over . you must have lost track of time . i actually left rocco with the instructor for a second 'cause i was looking for rocco 's lovey . [ chuckles ] maxie : okay , well , give rocco a kiss for me . lulu : okay . nathan : yeah , i was just gon na go work out . lulu : i do n't want to stick my nose in your business . okay , you guys know that i 'm on your side definitely . maxie : and ... ? lulu : you should know that jamie callahan was in my kickboxing class . maxie : who is she ? nathan : she 's a security guard . she works at the courthouse . lulu : yeah , and she 's a notorious gossip . i do n't want to be paranoid about judge walters , but if jamie sees you two together , i mean , it 'll definitely get around . nathan : yeah , and maxie 's chances of visitation with georgie will go down the drain . lulu : just wanted to give you the heads - up . maxie : thanks , lulu . nathan : yeah , thanks . lulu : good luck , you two . nathan : lulu 's right . we got to say goodbye ... again . patrick : if jerry and luke are working together , then this all makes sense . tracy : why are doctors so stupid about everything but medicine ? luke would never partner with jerry ! he hates him ! jerry : she 's right about that . tracy : see ? sam : wait a minute . but we ca n't discount the whole idea . luke is the one who brought us to amsterdam to begin with . patrick : luke contacted you , right , tracy ? he texted you to meet at this café . look who showed up . tracy : and is luke here ? no ! because they 're not working together . [ cell phone beeps ] tracy : it 's from luke . sam : what does it say ? tracy : `` unless someone sent the text from luke 's phone . `` jerry : someone like me . jason : it 's too bad your jason made the choices he made and could n't be a father to your son . i 'm sure he regretted it . elizabeth : why would you think so ? jason : instinct . dr. granville : excuse me , nurse webber . elizabeth : hi , dr. granville . um , this is jake . jake , this is -- dr. granville : i 'm the plastic surgeon who performed your facial reconstruction after your accident . jason : i hear you had a lot of work to do . dr. granville : work that i 'm very anxious to unveil , though i can imagine not nearly as anxious as you are . elizabeth : jake is doing amazingly well . he 's a fast healer . dr. granville : good . so , why wait ? why do n't we finally get those bandages off and take a look at what lies beneath ? nathan : i 'm gon na take off . maxie : no , no , no . um , i 'll go . you did n't even work out yet . nathan : it 's okay . i 'm -- i 'm not feeling it anymore . take care of yourself , okay ? [ sighs ] maxie : nathan , just so you know , i am not taking this lying down . nathan : look , maxie , we 've been over this , okay ? you ca n't risk your chances with georgie just to date me . maxie : no , i 'm not taking any risks . i 'm just gon na go with my initial instinct and call diane miller . nathan : i thought you reconsidered . maxie : more like i have been paralyzed by fear , but lulu helped me see that i ca n't be passive about this . nathan : i have never seen you be passive about anything . maxie : i am gon na talk to diane , and i think she can come up with a strategy to beat walters . she 's good like that . nathan : that she is . but for now , i got to go . maxie : you got to go . i know . but hey , i - i want you to know that i 'm not gon na give up on this , and i do n't think you should either . dr. obrecht : why so touchy , schwester ? madeline : i do n't like your insinuations about nina . she is fine . you 'd be better off concentrating on your own daughter . are n't you at all worried about the fact that she may have stolen a baby while you were in lockup ? dr. obrecht : do not bury your head in the sand , magda . nina was n't well at the time of her coma , and it 's not likely her condition has improved after missing 20 years of her life . madeline : for god 's sake , she was on a mild antidepressant . that is all . dr. obrecht : mild ... unless taken in large quantities . mild unless she 's been overdosed by a mother out to protect her own wealth by murdering her unborn grandchild . madeline : this is a subject on which you are grievously misinformed . dr. obrecht : of what am i mistaken ? you are proved to have poisoned nina , and the baby she was carrying died as a result . what part of that is untrue ? nina : okay , listen , travis . i did n't mean to be harsh . [ sighs ] please tell me what 's happening before i make you regret it . silas : nina could walk from the moment you met her ? you tell me everything . you tell me now . [ cell phone chimes ] travis : it started the moment you dropped mrs. clay off for her first appointment . i tried to examine her , and she slapped me . travis : aah ! travis : at first , i just thought she was resistant to the idea of therapy . but then she stood up , pushed the wheelchair aside -- perfectly fine . i did n't understand why she came to see me . she said she was putting on a show for you . then she told me she 'd pay me to keep her secret , and she handed me a very large check . silas : [ sighs ] nina supposedly does n't have any money . did the check clear ? travis : yeah , no problem . her nurse , rosalie , said nina has plenty of money , despite what she told you . silas : at any point , did you consider coming to me and telling me what she was up to ? travis : your wife scares me . i did n't want to get on her bad side . [ cell phone chimes ] silas : you 've got my attention now , nina . anna : thank you . lulu : hey . dante : hey . lulu : oh , hello . mm . dante : where is my boy ? where 's rocco ? lulu : oh , you have to ask ? murphy confiscated rocco on my way in . anna : ohh . lulu : he insisted on some face time with the little guy . anna : you 'd think with three of his own at home , he 'd have enough of kids . lulu : well , rocco adores him , so i 'm fine with it . anna : yeah . lulu : is there any news on my dad ? have you heard from patrick , sam , tracy ? dante : actually , you know what ? uh , tracy 's meeting with luke was supposed to happen right about now , so we should hear something pretty soon . lulu : good . well , any minute , we should be getting confirmation that my dad 's supposed alliance with julian jerome is a bunch of bull . anna . you know my dad . you do n't actually believe this ridiculous story , do you ? anna : i just think it needs to be followed up on , that 's all . lulu : well , it 's -- it 's impossible if you just look at the timeline . i mean , when julian jerome came to port charles and started challenging sonny , my dad -- my dad -- he was dying of polonium poisoning . he was out running around , looking for a cure . there was no time to be plotting with jerome . he was competing for a cure with jerry jacks . tracy : you have luke 's phone . oh , my god , you 've got luke , too . jerry : and the penny finally drops . tracy : this explains why he 's been so out of touch , why he did n't return any of my phone calls , that ridiculous missing - passport excuse , why he did n't come home when lulu disappeared . jerry : yes , i read your missives about lulu with concern . i take it she 's home safe and sound ? sam : like you give a damn . jerry : oh , no , no . i have fond memories of lulu when she was a hostage at the metro court . on the whole , she was far more cooperative than you were , sweet sam , but not nearly as fun . patrick : back off , jerry . jerry : oh , come on . not to worry . sam enjoys our -- sam : you know what i would like to do ? put a bullet in your skull right now . jerry : [ chuckles ] alas , if only jason was here to do it for you . sam : you shut up . jerry : oh , no . i assure you , i mean it as a compliment . jason 's the only opponent to have presented a challenge to myself . tracy : who gives a damn about jason ? jerry : well , sam , evidently . i hope you 're not too intimidated . i mean , it 's so hard to follow great love . sam : shut up ! jerry : you did love jason , did n't you ? sam : it is not fair that he 's dead and you 're alive . jerry : it 's not fair , i know . but so little in life is , is n't it ? tracy : i want to hear about my husband . you did n't strike a deal with him to get the cure . you kidnapped him , did n't you ? jerry : you got me . [ chuckles ] and i have luke . so , the question facing us all is , what am i gon na do with him ? nathan : maxie , i do n't want to give up on us either , but i also do n't want us to invest in a future that does n't have a chance of happening . maxie : well , i think we have a chance . you stood by me through everything with the unmentionable . you refused to walk away even when i was horrible to you . do n't let this be the end of the line , nathan -- at least not until i 've talked to diane . please promise me . nathan : look , the only promise that i can make you is i 'll always be there for you , no matter what happens . maxie : ow ! ow . oh , god . dr. obrecht : out with it , magda . tell me which of your crimes against your daughter i got wrong . madeline : i 'm not going to discuss my daughter with you . i 'm here to see my son . dr. obrecht : more delusion . nathan is your nephew , not your son . madeline : i raised him . dr. obrecht : we 've already been over this . why are you so eager to change the subject from your only living offspring ? what is it about nina that you 're holding back , hmm ? silas : [ scoffs ] you leaving anything out ? travis : that 's everything . i swear . well ... silas : say it . say it . travis : [ sighs ] there is one thing . travis : i 'm getting the impression you do n't care much for dr. clay . nina : oh , travis . you have no idea . travis : your wife told me she does n't like you very much . silas : [ chuckles ] no kidding . travis : so , that 's it ? you wo n't report me to chief obrecht ? silas : i 'm not concerned with you -- just nina . travis : what are you gon na do ? nina : nothing ? nothing , travis ? fine . be that way . i 'll deal with this on my own . anna : look , we have far more questions than we have answers right now about luke 's potential association with julian , but i 'm thinking that with our friends meeting with him in amsterdam , we 'll be able to shed more light on it . patrick : what are you gon na do with luke ? jerry : well , that 's the question , is n't it ? tracy : oh , stop stalling . where is he ? jerry : well , thanks to a transfusion from your hubby 's revivifying blood , i 'm feeling my oats now and have no use for my reluctant savior . tracy : then give him back . jerry : well , i 'm not one for charity , which brings me to the meeting i took such pains to arrange . clearly , luke is a thief and a liar , so he is worth something to you , as well as patrick and even sweet sam , who desires answers from him . so , tell me -- what are you willing to give in exchange for luke ? lulu : let me know when you hear anything . anna : of course . lulu : i 'm gon na go reclaim rocco and get him to bed . dante : okay . i 'll see you at home . i just got a few things to wrap up , and i 'll be right there . lulu : okay . dante : okay . anna : god , i 'm sorry this is so hard for her . dante : it is , but you know what ? she wants to know the truth , and whatever we find out about luke , we 'll deal with it . anna : yeah . all right . let 's get back to work , then . dante : yes , ma'am . you know , we may be only able to solve one mystery today . run these prints . see if we can get a hit on jake doe . dr. granville : let me know if you feel any pain . jason : i 'm good . dr. granville : okay . well ? jason : elizabeth ? what do you think ?

[ scene_break ] nathan : hey , hey . let 's make this quick . amy : listen to this question . some guy is complaining that his wife is only giving it up two or three times a week . i mean , does he really think he 'd be better off if he was single ? talk about an overinflated ego . how 's your sex life ? nathan : my wife is across the country , so need i say more ? look , amy , what 's the emergency here , okay ? 'cause i got to go meet up with dante . amy : ohh ! are you guys going on a stakeout ? nathan : no . amy : oh . [ chuckles ] well , there 's no emergency . here . nathan : what is this ? amy : photo shoot proofs . nathan : this -- this was the emergency ? this is why you were blowing up my phone ? amy , look , not only do i have my own life , but ... the more that people see us together in public , the greater the odds that somebody 's gon na figure out that i 'm you know who . amy : you asked for photo approval . so take a look at those proofs and approve ! nathan : okay , but this is it , okay ? after this , we 're done with me being the face of `` ask man landers , `` okay ? amy : okay . except ... nathan : except what ? amy : there 's just one teensy - weensy thing i still need you to do for me . nathan : [ sighs ] what is that ? amy : be the face of the brand one more time .

[ scene_break ] felicia : [ sighs ] i 'm not defending nelle . at all . but i do n't think i would be a good friend if i did n't warn you that i think you 're making a mistake . bobbie : well , i certainly did n't see that coming . felicia : i just do n't want to see you wind up alienating michael . i know that he 's your grandson , but he 's a man , and he gets to do whatever he wants . if you and carly keep at this , you 're only gon na wind up pushing him away . if you want my advice , friend - to - friend , you 'll suck it up and let michael live his own life . [ scene_break ] scott : hey , serena , uh , your mother just told me about what happened to your grandfather . i 'm -- i 'm sorry that you had to be there for all of that . [ sighs ] i 'm sure you were a huge comfort to gail . you guys are probably making the arrangements now . um ... so , give me a call as soon as you get this message , okay ? uh , we love you , and , um , maybe it was good that you were there . goodbye . lucy : that was a nice message . i 'm -- i 'm sure serena 's just swamped , like you say , with all the details and arrangements and such . scott : yeah , probably . uh , well , listen , um ... thanks for coming by , lucy . um , you can go . lucy : oh , um ... that 's okay . you know , i took the whole entire day off . scott : well , you know , that 's good . then maybe you should , uh , go get yourself a pedicure or a facial or something , because , um , you know , i can take care of myself . lucy : by downing that drink ? scott : [ sighs ] i 'm just getting started . lucy : hey , you know , i do n't like to speak ill of the dead , but lee did have his battle with alcohol , so ... given that fact , do you really think getting drunk is a fitting way to honor him ? scott : why not , lucy ? ! i was a disappointment to him in life ! so why should n't i be a disappointment to him in his death , as well ? ! [ scene_break ] nathan : i 'm out . amy : nathan , wait ! nathan : no , amy , look , i have a job , okay ? a career that i love and enjoy , and , as i 've explained , would not be helped if people found out that i was the face of `` ask man landers . `` so this has been fun , but ... amy : hear me out . it 's good news ! nathan : no . not from where i 'm standing . amy : it is ! my brother was on a very long wait list for a special surgery at the va hospital in dc , and the approval just went through ! he 's having the surgery ! nathan : well , okay , that -- that is good news . congratulations . i know what that means to you . amy : yeah , it 's great . except it means i 'll have to take a brief leave from gh to be there with him and help with his post - surgical care . nathan : uh , well , chet is really lucky to have a sister like you . i just do n't see what this has to do with me still being `` ask man landers . `` amy : i do n't have enough paid vacation , so i 'm gon na have to take a leave of absence from the hospital . and the book has n't even been published , yet , so there 's no money coming in . so i 've arranged for a little gig to help tide me over and cover expenses . nathan : what kind of gig ? amy : `` ask man landers `` is giving an interview ! [ giggles ] [ scene_break ] josslyn : i 'm so sorry you had to deal with sonny . please , please do n't tell anyone about this ! oscar : i wo n't , i swear . i mean , besides , it was my fault . i should n't have gotten in his face like that . josslyn : you would n't have to if i had just let him say what he had to say . god , it would have been over and done with . oscar : now that the terror 's starting to pass ... i 'm kinda glad i got to meet him . he 's cool . josslyn : well , he did have the good sense to compliment you on your improvised defense tactic . oscar : [ chuckles ] i 'd do it again , you know . you have the right to talk or not to talk to whomever you want , joss . josslyn : ease up , tough guy . you ca n't ever do that to sonny again . oscar : i ca n't not stick up for you . josslyn : i can handle my stepfather . and i do n't need you sticking up for me . even if you do it really well . oscar : [ chuckles ] josslyn : time to get back . [ footsteps approaching ] [ scene_break ] sonny : hey . carly : hey . oh , god . it is so nice to see you . you have no idea . sonny : what ? what ? you had a bad day ? carly : [ sighs ] well , i ran into michael on his way to his lunch date with nelle . sonny : ohh . carly : yep . and you would have been proud of me because i was very polite , i did n't scream , i did n't yell . i even kept my cool when michael invited me to join them . sonny : he what ? ! carly : yeah . i mean , you know michael -- he 's a strategic thinker . he only invited me so i would n't object to him and nelle . he did n't really expect me to say yes . sonny : maybe he was genuinely trying to make an effort . you know our son . carly : you think i should have gone ? sonny : that 's not what i 'm saying . carly : i mean , look , i know i 'm supposed to suck it up and put on a brave face , but i can not stand the position nelle is putting michael in . she 's driving a wedge between us , sonny . sonny : do n't think like that . it sounds to me like you 're making progress . carly : mm . sonny : unless you 're playing them . is that what you 're doing ? [ chuckles ] you 're gon na soften up nelle so you can drop the hammer ? carly : the one who played all of us is nelle . and as far as i know , she 's still at it with michael . i 'm just trying to put my family back together ... in difficult circumstances . can you blame me ? sonny : hell , no . [ scene_break ] bobbie : nelle took advantage of morgan 's death to sabotage carly 's family , to pretend she slept with sonny , whether or not it really happened . now she 's moving in on michael . it 's just really hard to watch and do nothing to help . [ sighs ] [ sighs ] felicia : think it over . weigh the risks against the benefits . and if you still want to investigate nelle , i 'll take the case . bobbie : oh , honey , i do n't want to ask you to do something you 're not comfortable with . felicia : the only thing i 'm uncomfortable with is having you take it to another pi . if you need to move forward , i 'll take the case , and i 'll help you . let me know . bobbie : okay . [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] lucy : lee was not disappointed in you . scott : what do you know about this ? i know you think you 're doing me a favor , lucy , but , you know , i really want to be alone . lucy : no ! no , you just asked me a question , and i 'm gon na answer it . now , look ... i know i was not lee 's favorite [ sniffles ] of your many exes , but i did manage to do something pretty wonderful . i helped bring serena into this world . and from that moment on , lee and i , we were in each other 's orbits . come on . you know me . i sense things , and i want you to believe me . your father loved you very , very much . scott : no doubt about that . i mean , after my mother died , he adopted me , took care of me , school , law school . yeah , he loved me , lucy . but what did i do ? i failed him every step of the way . you know , when my mother married my father , i thought , `` oh , lucky for me . i mean , this is a great guy . `` [ sighs ] and what did i do ? i just took advantage of him . and i took him for granted . [ scene_break ] nathan : forget it . amy : one interview ! just a few questions about the book and the column , and what it 's like to be the man with all the answers ! nathan : i 'm not the guy with all -- i do n't have any of the answers . the person who does is not gon na be able to say anything . amy : i have a plan . i can shepherd you through the interview . nathan : no , amy , no . there 's not gon na be an interview ! look , i agreed to be the face of the brand . i even let you put my picture on the cover of the book . but that 's it . that 's as far as i go . amy : nathan , please . you know how tricky healthcare is now . i need all the money i can get for my brother , and that 's no lie . [ sighs ] we still have to survive after the surgery . both of us . nathan : okay , look , say i do this , all right ? what happens the next time , or the time after that ? `` ask man landers `` is popular because of you . people love the blog . they want the advice that you give , okay ? and as your audience grows , so is the need for interviews , okay ? and you ca n't hide behind me forever . maybe now is a good time to tell everybody that you 're `` ask man landers . `` amy : i 'm sorry i dragged you into this . believe me , i know it 's not fair . i really do appreciate everything you 've done for me . you 've been amazing . do n't worry . i 'll figure something out . [ elevator bell dings ] nathan : [ sighs ] amy , wait . how 's this interview gon na work ? amy : [ giggles ] oh ! [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] sonny : i - i was able to give josslyn some good news , for a change . carly : what do you mean ? you saw josslyn ? sonny : yeah , yeah . i tracked her down at -- at lila 's kids . carly : okay , what kind of news ? sonny : well , i , uh -- i pulled some strings and got jax 's deportation order rescinded so he can come back here anytime that he wants . carly : aww ! josslyn must have been thrilled . sonny : yeah , uh , i think she was glad . um , but , uh , i do n't think -- it 's gon na take a little while to make things right . carly : hey , hey , hey . all that matters is that you 're trying . and i really appreciate that . and josslyn will get there eventually . she will . sonny : well , i mean , we were real close at one time . carly : mm - hmm . i know . sonny : may -- maybe not as close as her and oscar . do you have any idea ? anything about this guy ? carly : did you say oscar ? [ scene_break ] oscar : so you like my swagger , huh ? josslyn : you do okay . but ego check -- you got lucky with my stepfather . do n't push it . oscar : me and sonny ? [ clicks tongue ] we 're good . josslyn : [ scoffs ] you know , morgan was the only one that could bust on sonny and , you know , not get challenged . oscar : yeah . i wish i could have met him . josslyn : me , too . i think he really would have liked you . oscar : just like ... generally ? or any specific reason ? josslyn : well , mostly because morgan liked anyone i like . but also because morgan was a really spontaneous person . it got him into trouble sometimes . but he did things in the moment ... leaped before he looked . oscar : do you think i 'm like that ? josslyn : well , you were when you stood up to sonny . and also when you asked me to meet you on the footbridge . that was pretty spontaneous and out of nowhere . you know , doing something just for fun , because it seems like a cool idea -- that 's very `` morgan . `` oscar : okay . a think - outside - of - the - box person . that 's cool . josslyn : only to a point . you have to promise not to challenge my stepfather like that next time . oscar : look , you have my word . as long as you promise there 's a next time . [ scene_break ] nelle : is she still watching us ? michael : i do n't know . i 'm a little too lost in your eyes to take notice . nelle : aww . michael : [ chuckles ] um , yeah , yeah , yeah . we 're still the center of attention . nelle : we should just go . we can get chinese . michael : no . no . i want barbecue . i 'm craving it . look , look . [ sighs ] the sooner everyone accepts that we 're a reality , the better it will be . nelle : hmm . well , maybe `` everyone `` will be gone by the time i get back from the bathroom . [ whispers ] or i 'll jump out the window . michael : no , do n't do that . you 're buying . nelle : ha ha ! michael : [ sighs ] not gon na say hi ? bobbie : i did n't want to interrupt . michael : you 're my grandmother . please interrupt . bobbie : michael , i do n't feel like pretending that i approve of this relationship . or that it 's not breaking carly 's heart . michael : okay , look , you -- you and my mom have every right to your feelings . all right , but , look , this is my life , and i have to be true to myself . bobbie : [ scoffs ] well , i think it 's ironic that you would use the word `` true . `` because nelle would n't know the truth if it jumped up and bit her in the face . she 's using your kindness against you . and i suspect that your relationship is just another ploy for her to hurt carly . michael : okay , grandma , look , i 'm really sorry you still feel that way . but nelle 's a good person . she -- she got a -- a raw deal in life , and she made some bad choices as a result , but she 's trying to make up for it . look , i would -- i would have thought that you and mom could relate . i mean , you made your fair share of mistakes , right ? but you always had people around you to forgive you , give you second chances , third chances . why should n't i do that for nelle ? [ scene_break ] scott : [ sighs ] [ sighs ] you know , lee never , ever forgave me for goofing things up with laura . lucy : come on . you were ju -- you were just kids . scott : yeah . we were . we were young . we were in love . and lee was thrilled for us , you know . i - i was gon na start practicing law . lucy [ sighs ] i was gon na be a real success story . and then everything just ... [ sighs ] just went downhill . [ scott remembers ] scott : ca n't you just put this aside and -- and help me out ? lee : open up all the old wounds ? who helps me , then ? scott : it 's gon na be different this time . lee : scotty , a father / son relationship is not something that you just sort of put on and then let go at your convenience , like a role in a play ! you burned all of our bridges a long time ago , and i just do n't think i have the heart or the desire to build them again ! scott : what if my life is on the line ? ! lee : what if mine is ? 'cause it is ! lucy : [ sighs ] no . no . no , you do n't . okay , listen , that is enough . if you want to feel sorry for yourself , go ahead . you 're completely entitled . but you do not get to rewrite history , okay ? [ voice breaking ] now , you 've been a jackass ! yes ! yes , you have . and have you done some really bad things ? yes . and did you disappoint your father sometimes ? yes . but that was a long time ago . i know you . that is not the sum total of who you are . remember , i was there . i was there when you fell in love with dominique , and that was magic , and it was a gift , and ... scott , there 's us . [ chuckles ] we , together , brought serena into this world . and you were a changed man . all that -- that stuff between you and lee , it just melted away ! he saw this new man , and when he saw serena , those tears in his eyes , they were n't tears of sadness . they were tears of joy and pride and love for the man that you had become . ca n't you see this ? do n't you see ? yes . you may have made some mistakes and disappointed lee sometimes . but your father ... he forgave you . [ scene_break ] oscar : i 'm gon na be late . josslyn : me , too . oscar : i mean , it 's good news about your dad . now you do n't have to go all the way to abu dhabi to see him . josslyn : not that he 'd have me visit him there anyway . you know , i 'm not sure i 'd want to . i check the temperature every day . it was 107 degrees yesterday . so i 'd have a choice between staying inside , in the air conditioning ... or risking heat stroke . oscar : that 's no good . better to spend the summer somewhere you can actually go outside . josslyn : for sure . things here are definitely better . [ scene_break ] carly : oscar is the boy my mother caught drinking with josslyn . sonny : i actually got a read on the kid . he did n't seem that bad . carly : sonny , i do n't care if he 's the future pope . i 'm not cool with some boy peer - pressuring my daughter into drinking . especially since she only has one kidney . and josslyn should know better . and if she 's gon na make these bad decisions , i 'm gon na have to step in . carly : but what ? josslyn is too young . [ chuckles ] i have to intervene , sonny . and i will . [ scene_break ] michael : so what 'll it be ? and please do not say salad , because the baby back ribs are calling our name . nelle : i heard what you said to bobbie . are you sure you 're ready for this ? michael : look , i , um ... will always respect my family 's wishes . but i ca n't live my life to please them . nelle : and what if you 're wrong about me ? michael : am i ? nelle : no . [ scene_break ] bobbie : i thought it over carefully , and i want to move forward . felicia : [ chuckles ] i had a feeling you 'd say that . i 'm at the metro court . do me a favor . have carly call hr for me . i want to get access to nelle 's employee records . i want to see if the contact numbers that she 's provided are real . bobbie : are you going back to atlanta ? felicia : if i have to . but something tells me the real dirt on nelle benson is where she got her start -- in florida . [ scene_break ] nathan : okay , so what is this interview ? amy : it 's a podcast thing . i 'm sure hardly anyone will even hear it . nathan : i hope so . especially nobody who 'd recognize me . i 'll probably sound like an idiot . amy : i told you . i have a plan . [ giggles ] nathan : yeah . [ scene_break ] lucy : here . scott : oh , come on . for crying out loud , lucy . i had two drinks . i do n't need any coffee ! lucy : you 're gon na take it , and you 're gon na like it , 'cause i made it just the way you always want it . i remembered . scott : i appreciate you coming by . i 'm sorry i snapped at you . so -- but ... i just really want to be alone . lucy : nope . ca n't do that . i promised serena . scott : i 'll tell you what . here . i 'm gon na release you from that responsibility , okay ? so , um , i 'm -- i 'm just gon na go . bye . [ knock on door ] scott : hey , lucy , whoever that is , just tell them i 'm not here . lucy : [ gasps ] oh ! [ sobs ] okay , okay . um , hey , you know , uh ... when you see who 's here at the door , i think you might change your mind . scott : serena ! [ next_on ] alexis ( to valentin ) : we have something important to discuss . laura ( to spencer ) : are you planning some kind of a move against your uncle ? scott ( to lucy & serena ) : did you orchestrate this ? amy : this is gon na work , nathan . kiki ( to ava ) : i brought you a special surprise , guaranteed to lift your spirits . dante ( to sonny ) : i 've got bad news . | someone knocks on scott 's door at the metro court he opens it to discover lucy . she has some bad news . his father , lee baldwin has passed away . serena called her up and informed her . she wanted scott to receive the news in person and not over the phone . scott starts to drink but lucy begs him not to . it would be disrespectful to the memory of lee who suffered from alcoholism . scott does n't care . he thinks he was a failure of a son . lucy feels that scott is wrong and believes that lee was proud of him . lee decides to go into his bedroom when someone knocks on the door . scott does n't want to talk to them . lucy opens the door to find their daughter serena . lucy tells scott to come see who it is . scott smiles when he sees it is serena . elsewhere , nathan and felicia are talking at the floating rib . felicia is offering nathan the chance to spend time with her and mac on saturday and sunday 's . she knows it must be hard having maxie out of town and maxie is worried that nathan is hiding something . nathan claims he is n't as he gets calls and texts from amy . nathan goes to the hospital where amy tells him he needs to go on a podcast as man landers so she can get more money to take care of chet . nathan reluctantly agrees . | <s>[INST] [ frantic knocking on door ] scott : hold your horses , will you ? !

[ scene_break ] nelle : thanks , ma'am . oh . hello . michael : hello . nelle : one second , and i 'll be ready for lunch , okay ? michael : actually , i do n't think that this can wait . nelle : what 's wrong ? is something wrong ? michael : yes , very . i missed you .

[ chuckles ] bobbie : well , the hardest part is going to be having to endure seeing nelle with michael . but keep in mind -- the more you attack , the more he 's gon na want to protect her . carly : i know that . michael 's always stepping up for the people he cares about . it 's the fact that he cares about nelle that drives me crazy . bobbie : yeah , but you 're not gon na act on it . you 're going to stay pleasant and calm . but not too sweet , 'cause that 's gon na read as insincere . honey , you got to play this right ... carly : oh , do n't worry . now that i know nelle 's game , i 'll outplay her . easy .

[ scene_break ] nathan : i 'm out . amy : nathan , wait ! nathan : no , amy , look , i have a job , okay ? a career that i love and enjoy , and , as i 've explained , would not be helped if people found out that i was the face of `` ask man landers . `` so this has been fun , but ... amy : hear me out . it 's good news ! nathan : no . not from where i 'm standing . amy : it is ! my brother was on a very long wait list for a special surgery at the va hospital in dc , and the approval just went through ! he 's having the surgery ! nathan : well , okay , that -- that is good news . congratulations . i know what that means to you . amy : yeah , it 's great . except it means i 'll have to take a brief leave from gh to be there with him and help with his post - surgical care . nathan : uh , well , chet is really lucky to have a sister like you . i just do n't see what this has to do with me still being `` ask man landers . `` amy : i do n't have enough paid vacation , so i 'm gon na have to take a leave of absence from the hospital . and the book has n't even been published , yet , so there 's no money coming in . so i 've arranged for a little gig to help tide me over and cover expenses . nathan : what kind of gig ? amy : `` ask man landers `` is giving an interview ! [ giggles ] [ scene_break ] josslyn : i 'm so sorry you had to deal with sonny . please , please do n't tell anyone about this ! oscar : i wo n't , i swear . i mean , besides , it was my fault . i should n't have gotten in his face like that . josslyn : you would n't have to if i had just let him say what he had to say . god , it would have been over and done with . oscar : now that the terror 's starting to pass ... i 'm kinda glad i got to meet him . he 's cool . josslyn : well , he did have the good sense to compliment you on your improvised defense tactic . oscar : [ chuckles ] i 'd do it again , you know . you have the right to talk or not to talk to whomever you want , joss . josslyn : ease up , tough guy . you ca n't ever do that to sonny again . oscar : i ca n't not stick up for you . josslyn : i can handle my stepfather . and i do n't need you sticking up for me . even if you do it really well . oscar : [ chuckles ] josslyn : time to get back . [ footsteps approaching ] [ scene_break ] sonny : hey . carly : hey . oh , god . it is so nice to see you . you have no idea . sonny : what ? what ? you had a bad day ? carly : [ sighs ] well , i ran into michael on his way to his lunch date with nelle . sonny : ohh . carly : yep . and you would have been proud of me because i was very polite , i did n't scream , i did n't yell . i even kept my cool when michael invited me to join them . sonny : he what ? ! carly : yeah . i mean , you know michael -- he 's a strategic thinker . he only invited me so i would n't object to him and nelle . he did n't really expect me to say yes . sonny : maybe he was genuinely trying to make an effort . you know our son . carly : you think i should have gone ? sonny : that 's not what i 'm saying . carly : i mean , look , i know i 'm supposed to suck it up and put on a brave face , but i can not stand the position nelle is putting michael in . she 's driving a wedge between us , sonny . sonny : do n't think like that . it sounds to me like you 're making progress . carly : mm . sonny : unless you 're playing them . is that what you 're doing ? [ chuckles ] you 're gon na soften up nelle so you can drop the hammer ? carly : the one who played all of us is nelle . and as far as i know , she 's still at it with michael . i 'm just trying to put my family back together ... in difficult circumstances . can you blame me ? sonny : hell , no . [ scene_break ] bobbie : nelle took advantage of morgan 's death to sabotage carly 's family , to pretend she slept with sonny , whether or not it really happened . now she 's moving in on michael . it 's just really hard to watch and do nothing to help . [ sighs ] [ sighs ] felicia : think it over . weigh the risks against the benefits . and if you still want to investigate nelle , i 'll take the case . bobbie : oh , honey , i do n't want to ask you to do something you 're not comfortable with . felicia : the only thing i 'm uncomfortable with is having you take it to another pi . if you need to move forward , i 'll take the case , and i 'll help you . let me know . bobbie : okay . [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] lucy : lee was not disappointed in you . scott : what do you know about this ? i know you think you 're doing me a favor , lucy , but , you know , i really want to be alone . lucy : no ! no , you just asked me a question , and i 'm gon na answer it . now , look ... i know i was not lee 's favorite [ sniffles ] of your many exes , but i did manage to do something pretty wonderful . i helped bring serena into this world . and from that moment on , lee and i , we were in each other 's orbits . come on . you know me . i sense things , and i want you to believe me . your father loved you very , very much . scott : no doubt about that . i mean , after my mother died , he adopted me , took care of me , school , law school . yeah , he loved me , lucy . but what did i do ? i failed him every step of the way . you know , when my mother married my father , i thought , `` oh , lucky for me . i mean , this is a great guy . `` [ sighs ] and what did i do ? i just took advantage of him . and i took him for granted . [ scene_break ] nathan : forget it . amy : one interview ! just a few questions about the book and the column , and what it 's like to be the man with all the answers ! nathan : i 'm not the guy with all -- i do n't have any of the answers . the person who does is not gon na be able to say anything . amy : i have a plan . i can shepherd you through the interview . nathan : no , amy , no . there 's not gon na be an interview ! look , i agreed to be the face of the brand . i even let you put my picture on the cover of the book . but that 's it . that 's as far as i go . amy : nathan , please . you know how tricky healthcare is now . i need all the money i can get for my brother , and that 's no lie . [ sighs ] we still have to survive after the surgery . both of us . nathan : okay , look , say i do this , all right ? what happens the next time , or the time after that ? `` ask man landers `` is popular because of you . people love the blog . they want the advice that you give , okay ? and as your audience grows , so is the need for interviews , okay ? and you ca n't hide behind me forever . maybe now is a good time to tell everybody that you 're `` ask man landers . `` amy : i 'm sorry i dragged you into this . believe me , i know it 's not fair . i really do appreciate everything you 've done for me . you 've been amazing . do n't worry . i 'll figure something out . [ elevator bell dings ] nathan : [ sighs ] amy , wait . how 's this interview gon na work ? amy : [ giggles ] oh ! [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] sonny : i - i was able to give josslyn some good news , for a change . carly : what do you mean ? you saw josslyn ? sonny : yeah , yeah . i tracked her down at -- at lila 's kids . carly : okay , what kind of news ? sonny : well , i , uh -- i pulled some strings and got jax 's deportation order rescinded so he can come back here anytime that he wants . carly : aww ! josslyn must have been thrilled . sonny : yeah , uh , i think she was glad . um , but , uh , i do n't think -- it 's gon na take a little while to make things right . carly : hey , hey , hey . all that matters is that you 're trying . and i really appreciate that . and josslyn will get there eventually . she will . sonny : well , i mean , we were real close at one time . carly : mm - hmm . i know . sonny : may -- maybe not as close as her and oscar . do you have any idea ? anything about this guy ? carly : did you say oscar ? [ scene_break ] oscar : so you like my swagger , huh ? josslyn : you do okay . but ego check -- you got lucky with my stepfather . do n't push it . oscar : me and sonny ? [ clicks tongue ] we 're good . josslyn : [ scoffs ] you know , morgan was the only one that could bust on sonny and , you know , not get challenged . oscar : yeah . i wish i could have met him . josslyn : me , too . i think he really would have liked you . oscar : just like ... generally ? or any specific reason ? josslyn : well , mostly because morgan liked anyone i like . but also because morgan was a really spontaneous person . it got him into trouble sometimes . but he did things in the moment ... leaped before he looked . oscar : do you think i 'm like that ? josslyn : well , you were when you stood up to sonny . and also when you asked me to meet you on the footbridge . that was pretty spontaneous and out of nowhere . you know , doing something just for fun , because it seems like a cool idea -- that 's very `` morgan . `` oscar : okay . a think - outside - of - the - box person . that 's cool . josslyn : only to a point . you have to promise not to challenge my stepfather like that next time . oscar : look , you have my word . as long as you promise there 's a next time . [ scene_break ] nelle : is she still watching us ? michael : i do n't know . i 'm a little too lost in your eyes to take notice . nelle : aww . michael : [ chuckles ] um , yeah , yeah , yeah . we 're still the center of attention . nelle : we should just go . we can get chinese . michael : no . no . i want barbecue . i 'm craving it . look , look . [ sighs ] the sooner everyone accepts that we 're a reality , the better it will be . nelle : hmm . well , maybe `` everyone `` will be gone by the time i get back from the bathroom . [ whispers ] or i 'll jump out the window . michael : no , do n't do that . you 're buying . nelle : ha ha ! michael : [ sighs ] not gon na say hi ? bobbie : i did n't want to interrupt . michael : you 're my grandmother . please interrupt . bobbie : michael , i do n't feel like pretending that i approve of this relationship . or that it 's not breaking carly 's heart . michael : okay , look , you -- you and my mom have every right to your feelings . all right , but , look , this is my life , and i have to be true to myself . bobbie : [ scoffs ] well , i think it 's ironic that you would use the word `` true . `` because nelle would n't know the truth if it jumped up and bit her in the face . she 's using your kindness against you . and i suspect that your relationship is just another ploy for her to hurt carly . michael : okay , grandma , look , i 'm really sorry you still feel that way . but nelle 's a good person . she -- she got a -- a raw deal in life , and she made some bad choices as a result , but she 's trying to make up for it . look , i would -- i would have thought that you and mom could relate . i mean , you made your fair share of mistakes , right ? but you always had people around you to forgive you , give you second chances , third chances . why should n't i do that for nelle ? [ scene_break ] scott : [ sighs ] [ sighs ] you know , lee never , ever forgave me for goofing things up with laura . lucy : come on . you were ju -- you were just kids . scott : yeah . we were . we were young . we were in love . and lee was thrilled for us , you know . i - i was gon na start practicing law . lucy [ sighs ] i was gon na be a real success story . and then everything just ... [ sighs ] just went downhill . [ scott remembers ] scott : ca n't you just put this aside and -- and help me out ? lee : open up all the old wounds ? who helps me , then ? scott : it 's gon na be different this time . lee : scotty , a father / son relationship is not something that you just sort of put on and then let go at your convenience , like a role in a play ! you burned all of our bridges a long time ago , and i just do n't think i have the heart or the desire to build them again ! scott : what if my life is on the line ? ! lee : what if mine is ? 'cause it is ! lucy : [ sighs ] no . no . no , you do n't . okay , listen , that is enough . if you want to feel sorry for yourself , go ahead . you 're completely entitled . but you do not get to rewrite history , okay ? [ voice breaking ] now , you 've been a jackass ! yes ! yes , you have . and have you done some really bad things ? yes . and did you disappoint your father sometimes ? yes . but that was a long time ago . i know you . that is not the sum total of who you are . remember , i was there . i was there when you fell in love with dominique , and that was magic , and it was a gift , and ... scott , there 's us . [ chuckles ] we , together , brought serena into this world . and you were a changed man . all that -- that stuff between you and lee , it just melted away ! he saw this new man , and when he saw serena , those tears in his eyes , they were n't tears of sadness . they were tears of joy and pride and love for the man that you had become . ca n't you see this ? do n't you see ? yes . you may have made some mistakes and disappointed lee sometimes . but your father ... he forgave you . [ scene_break ] oscar : i 'm gon na be late . josslyn : me , too . oscar : i mean , it 's good news about your dad . now you do n't have to go all the way to abu dhabi to see him . josslyn : not that he 'd have me visit him there anyway . you know , i 'm not sure i 'd want to . i check the temperature every day . it was 107 degrees yesterday . so i 'd have a choice between staying inside , in the air conditioning ... or risking heat stroke . oscar : that 's no good . better to spend the summer somewhere you can actually go outside . josslyn : for sure . things here are definitely better . [ scene_break ] carly : oscar is the boy my mother caught drinking with josslyn . sonny : i actually got a read on the kid . he did n't seem that bad . carly : sonny , i do n't care if he 's the future pope . i 'm not cool with some boy peer - pressuring my daughter into drinking . especially since she only has one kidney . and josslyn should know better . and if she 's gon na make these bad decisions , i 'm gon na have to step in . carly : but what ? josslyn is too young . [ chuckles ] i have to intervene , sonny . and i will . [ scene_break ] michael : so what 'll it be ? and please do not say salad , because the baby back ribs are calling our name . nelle : i heard what you said to bobbie . are you sure you 're ready for this ? michael : look , i , um ... will always respect my family 's wishes . but i ca n't live my life to please them . nelle : and what if you 're wrong about me ? michael : am i ? nelle : no . [ scene_break ] bobbie : i thought it over carefully , and i want to move forward . felicia : [ chuckles ] i had a feeling you 'd say that . i 'm at the metro court . do me a favor . have carly call hr for me . i want to get access to nelle 's employee records . i want to see if the contact numbers that she 's provided are real . bobbie : are you going back to atlanta ? felicia : if i have to . but something tells me the real dirt on nelle benson is where she got her start -- in florida . [ scene_break ] nathan : okay , so what is this interview ? amy : it 's a podcast thing . i 'm sure hardly anyone will even hear it . nathan : i hope so . especially nobody who 'd recognize me . i 'll probably sound like an idiot . amy : i told you . i have a plan . [ giggles ] nathan : yeah . [ scene_break ] lucy : here . scott : oh , come on . for crying out loud , lucy . i had two drinks . i do n't need any coffee ! lucy : you 're gon na take it , and you 're gon na like it , 'cause i made it just the way you always want it . i remembered . scott : i appreciate you coming by . i 'm sorry i snapped at you . so -- but ... i just really want to be alone . lucy : nope . ca n't do that . i promised serena . scott : i 'll tell you what . here . i 'm gon na release you from that responsibility , okay ? so , um , i 'm -- i 'm just gon na go . bye . [ knock on door ] scott : hey , lucy , whoever that is , just tell them i 'm not here . lucy : [ gasps ] oh ! [ sobs ] okay , okay . um , hey , you know , uh ... when you see who 's here at the door , i think you might change your mind . scott : serena !

[ scene_break ] patrick : so there we were . robin in denial . me tripping over myself to join her . neither one of us doing anything constructive to try and help the problem . sonny : maybe robin was just waiting for the right time . patrick : or the right stranger . sonny : what do you mean ? i do n't understand . patrick : a couple of nights ago , sonny , we had plans to go out for dinner to our favorite restaurant . she 'd been wanting to go for weeks . i was held up a little bit at work , so i tried to get a hold of her to tell her . she was n't answering her phone . she was n't at the restaurant . it 's not like robin to go take off without her husband and baby , right ? sonny : right . patrick : well , that 's exactly what she did . she ended up at some hotel in rochester -- took on a whole new persona , named herself nancy . no husband , no children , no problems . sonny : sorry , does n't sound like robin one bit . patrick : yeah , she claims she hit rock bottom which is still yet to be seen . she did come home and admit that she needs help . sonny : well , that 's a good thing . i mean , i know a thing or two about denying a chemical imbalance . it took me a long time to face the fact that i was bipolar . but i tell you what , if you ask for help , that 's a big step in the right direction . patrick : yeah , except i 'm afraid it 's all lip service because robin 's idea of treatment was inviting lainey over for lunch . sonny : lainey is a good psychiatrist . she treated me . patrick : she 's a great doctor , but she 's also one of robin 's best friends . which is fine if she actually uses lainey 's services . ten minutes into the conversation , robin got up and took off , which led to my unforgivable transgression by going to someone who has been through postpartum to try to talk to her about it and try to find some insight . sonny : are we talking about carly ? patrick : yes , carly . sonny : you know that 's not robin 's favorite person . patrick : absolutely , but it 's the only woman i know that can maybe give me some help here . sonny : robin went off ? patrick : and so did i . and once again , i 'm the bad guy . [ scene_break ] claudia : are you sure you want to do this ? ric : why would n't i ? claudia : because i think that you should just quit while you 're ahead . settle for what you 've got . quit trying to chase the elusive , ric . it 's not going to make your brother be any other kind of brother . he 's not going to be the one you want him to be . ric : believe me ; i gave up that fantasy a long time ago . claudia : you finally have the access that you want . enjoy it . let that be enough . come on , ric . using me to bring down your brother is never going to make him love you . ric : you 're not listening . okay , that 's not what i 'm after here . claudia : then what is the point ? ric : claudia , you 're smarter than this . i would 've thought you figured it out by now . i want everything . i want everything that sonny has . i want his money . i want his power . i want his wife . and you know what ? i want you to make me a drink . make sure it 's the good stuff . claudia : why do n't you make it yourself ? ric : why do n't you pour it for me ? i 'd like it better . claudia : okay . ric : something about this seems very right . you jumping through hoops is going to make me happy . ric : wow . claudia : here you go . i hope you choke on it . ric : oh , you 're so sexy -- very , very sexy when you 're pissed . you know that ? ric : why do n't you go over there and take your clothes off . and do it real slow , like you like me . [ scene_break ] jason : i can see that this has been hell for you , and it 's got to be the same for patrick . because i remember when carly had postpartum , and i 'll never forget the look on her face when she realized that she could not even touch her own baby . i would have done anything for her . but there was nothing i could do . robin : i know this must be really hard on patrick . but telling carly ? come on . i know she 's your best friend , but you know our history . jason : what does it matter ? carly suffered from the same disorder as you . if she can give patrick some advice that could help you both , why not take it ? robin : i do n't know . i just wish patrick was more like you -- less morally superior and more supportive . jason : well , i do n't know patrick well , but i do know that he 's a good doctor , and he 's a good guy . and right now he may not be doing or saying everything right , but i 'm sure all he wants is for you to get better . [ scene_break ] sonny : as you know , i 've known robin a long time . i know how she copes . i know the tools she uses . she 's had to go through a lot in her life . the person she loved dying of aids , getting diagnosed herself , living with hiv -- through that she 's had an incredible support system . but she has this stubborn , intense independent streak . she wants to do everything herself . she wants her own resources , and she has many . patrick : you definitely know my wife . sonny : yeah , she 's strong . she 's reliable , responsible , but she 's never let herself down until now . and here 's what i 'm thinking , patrick . i 'm thinking that maybe her system has failed her . whatever she used in the past to get over a crisis is not working anymore . and the chemical imbalance makes her emotionally unstable . and i can tell you right now , i can understand what it 's like to want to get away and be someone else for a minute . patrick : yeah , i mean , that all sounds reasonable . so what do i do ? sonny : first and foremost , you got to take care of emma . whatever you and robin are going through is going to make you guys stronger . emma does n't really know what 's going on . maybe she just feels that her mother is not 100 % emotionally available . but you have to make up for that . patrick : okay . sonny : second of all , i think -- i know it 's not easy . you got to make it okay -- you got to make it okay for robin , you know . give her the time and space she needs to deal with whatever she needs to deal with . do n't second- guess her . do n't doubt her . have some faith . personally , i think you 're going to get through it .

[ scene_break ] jax : jerry should have gone to prison after he held half the town hostage . but he convinced me that he wanted to change his life , and i believed him . i covered for him , michael . and that gave jerry time to form alliances with people like claudia zacchara and ian devlin . my brother did n't pull the trigger , but he was part of the operation . it does n't matter that nobody knew that you were going to be there or that your father was the intended target . the unthinkable happened . and i have to own my share of the responsibility . i had a chance to come clean with your mother , but i did n't . i did n't say anything . i do n't think i 'm going to . see , we 're back together . it 's been a long time coming . she 's really happy right now . i do n't want to sacrifice that . because if carly ever knew what i allowed jerry to do , i 'm afraid that i 'd lose her forever .

[ scene_break ] robin : i ca n't believe this . i do n't know what is more outrageous . you blabbing to carly about my personal life or her sending her nanny over here to teach me how to care of my kid . patrick : robin , that is not at all what happened . robin : do you think you could have asked me how i felt about carly knowing that i 'm fighting postpartum depression ? patrick : you could have checked in with me before you took off to rochester and left me wondering what the hell just happened . robin : so what is this then ? this is payback ? you wanted to spill your guts to carly to get back at me ? do you even get what a violation of privacy this is , what a betrayal of trust ? patrick : robin , do you really want to talk about betrayal and trust right now ? robin : what 's that supposed to mean ? patrick : i am not going to enable your condition or be in denial about it any longer . robin : i can not believe you went to carly . patrick : robin , it was a continuation of a conversation we had a while ago . robin : excuse me ? patrick : and carly was concerned about you . robin : you 've been whining to carly about me this whole time ? that 's great . i 'm sure she 's been loving that . finally , indisputable truth of my incompetence provided by my husband . patrick : are you kidding me ? it 's not always about you . robin : if you wanted to punish me , you could have come up with a more clever way . patrick : with all things considered , robin , it 's pretty damn tame compared to the punishment you 've me through . [ scene_break ] rebecca : i 'm sorry . i probably cut off the circulation in your hand . nikolas : no , no , it 's fine . do you mind if i ask you something that i 'll admit is probably none of my business ? rebecca : you 've earned the right . nikolas : what prompted you to have the mammogram in the first place ? i mean , you 're kind of young for that . rebecca : i had a routine physical and they found a lump . nikolas : well , maybe it 's just a cyst or something like that . rebecca : yeah , i hope so . nikolas : well , it 's a good thing you 're getting the ultrasound done right away . there 's nothing worse than waiting . rebecca : unless you 're waiting alone . could you -- would you mind waiting with me ? nikolas : yeah , sure , as long as it takes .

[ scene_break ] jason : you okay ? hey . robin : this is where i 'm supposed to say yes , right ? that i 'm in denial , or i 'm trying to act strong . well , you know what ? i am sick of being in denial , and i do n't really feel that strong right now , so i 'll just admit it . i am a failure as a wife , as a mother . i do n't understand why this is happening . i wanted to have a baby . i wanted to get married , so why has everything gone so wrong ?

[ scene_break ] nikolas : i know that your time at the la mesa wellness center was a very traumatic time for you , and i hate asking you about it . but maybe it will help . monica : oh , i do n't mind . i do n't mind if it will help . it 's just hard to explain the bonds that form when you are looking at death . all those carefully constructed barriers -- they just become irrelevant , and you get real . you get real -- fast . paige and i , we became such good friends so quickly . it was like we had known each other all of our lives . we talked about everything . there was n't any topic that was too insignificant or too great . nikolas : including emily ? monica : especially emily . when paige found out she was terminal , she realized she was going to be leaving her daughter when a young woman really needed a mother the most . and she gave her to alan and me because there was n't anybody else -- nobody . if emily had had family , then paige would have sent her there . and i would 've known about it . nikolas : i guess that 's it then . all this -- rebecca 's phenomenal resemblance to emily , the fact that she chose a medical career , the potential risk of breast cancer -- it 's all a crazy coincidence then , i guess . monica : i guess . i mean , you know , her appearance has unnerved everybody , nikolas . nikolas : well , rebecca 's not emily . we know that . she 's just a woman facing a potential scary diagnosis all on her own . monica : my heart goes out to her because that exam room is really the loneliest place in the world . [ scene_break ] radiologist : here you go . rebecca : i do n't suppose you could give me an e.t.a . on the ultrasound results ? radiologist : you 're in the business , right ? you know the answer . [ scene_break ] robin : i do get that i 'm responsible for turning our lives upside down . but i also get that i have a disorder that compels me . so what came first , the chicken or the egg ? i do n't know . jason : what do you mean ? robin : meaning that i may have postpartum depression , but those symptoms have been a part of my nature all along . i 've always set high expectations for myself . i 've always been an over - achiever . i do n't know . maybe it 's just an excuse for the truth , which is a lot simpler , which is -- what kind of monster looks at her little girl and does n't want to kiss her and hold her and love her ? jason : hold on , robin . you are not a monster . robin : that 's up for debate . on the other hand , patrick is the most sensitive man i 've ever met , in a very logical and sort of detached way . i know that sounds like a contradiction , but it 's true . he saw it from the beginning . he tried to get me to open up , and i just felt judged . but that 's in the past , right ? i mean , now i 've finally admitted that i have a problem . and i thought that we could work on this problem together , but instead he 's just -- i do n't know . he 's all about being vindicated or something . and i just end up feeling judged all over again . jason : i think that -- i mean , this has got to be hard on patrick . it is absolute hell to see someone that you love sick , and you ca n't do anything about it . robin : right , but would you go and make the problem worse ? because that 's exactly what patrick did when he went blabbing his mouth all over town about it . [ scene_break ] patrick : so there we were . robin in denial . me tripping over myself to join her . neither one of us doing anything constructive to try and help the problem . sonny : maybe robin was just waiting for the right time . patrick : or the right stranger . sonny : what do you mean ? i do n't understand . patrick : a couple of nights ago , sonny , we had plans to go out for dinner to our favorite restaurant . she 'd been wanting to go for weeks . i was held up a little bit at work , so i tried to get a hold of her to tell her . she was n't answering her phone . she was n't at the restaurant . it 's not like robin to go take off without her husband and baby , right ? sonny : right . patrick : well , that 's exactly what she did . she ended up at some hotel in rochester -- took on a whole new persona , named herself nancy . no husband , no children , no problems . sonny : sorry , does n't sound like robin one bit . patrick : yeah , she claims she hit rock bottom which is still yet to be seen . she did come home and admit that she needs help . sonny : well , that 's a good thing . i mean , i know a thing or two about denying a chemical imbalance . it took me a long time to face the fact that i was bipolar . but i tell you what , if you ask for help , that 's a big step in the right direction . patrick : yeah , except i 'm afraid it 's all lip service because robin 's idea of treatment was inviting lainey over for lunch . sonny : lainey is a good psychiatrist . she treated me . patrick : she 's a great doctor , but she 's also one of robin 's best friends . which is fine if she actually uses lainey 's services . ten minutes into the conversation , robin got up and took off , which led to my unforgivable transgression by going to someone who has been through postpartum to try to talk to her about it and try to find some insight . sonny : are we talking about carly ? patrick : yes , carly . sonny : you know that 's not robin 's favorite person . patrick : absolutely , but it 's the only woman i know that can maybe give me some help here . sonny : robin went off ? patrick : and so did i . and once again , i 'm the bad guy . [ scene_break ] claudia : are you sure you want to do this ? ric : why would n't i ? claudia : because i think that you should just quit while you 're ahead . settle for what you 've got . quit trying to chase the elusive , ric . it 's not going to make your brother be any other kind of brother . he 's not going to be the one you want him to be . ric : believe me ; i gave up that fantasy a long time ago . claudia : you finally have the access that you want . enjoy it . let that be enough . come on , ric . using me to bring down your brother is never going to make him love you . ric : you 're not listening . okay , that 's not what i 'm after here . claudia : then what is the point ? ric : claudia , you 're smarter than this . i would 've thought you figured it out by now . i want everything . i want everything that sonny has . i want his money . i want his power . i want his wife . and you know what ? i want you to make me a drink . make sure it 's the good stuff . claudia : why do n't you make it yourself ? ric : why do n't you pour it for me ? i 'd like it better . claudia : okay . ric : something about this seems very right . you jumping through hoops is going to make me happy . ric : wow . claudia : here you go . i hope you choke on it . ric : oh , you 're so sexy -- very , very sexy when you 're pissed . you know that ? ric : why do n't you go over there and take your clothes off . and do it real slow , like you like me . [ scene_break ] jason : i can see that this has been hell for you , and it 's got to be the same for patrick . because i remember when carly had postpartum , and i 'll never forget the look on her face when she realized that she could not even touch her own baby . i would have done anything for her . but there was nothing i could do . robin : i know this must be really hard on patrick . but telling carly ? come on . i know she 's your best friend , but you know our history . jason : what does it matter ? carly suffered from the same disorder as you . if she can give patrick some advice that could help you both , why not take it ? robin : i do n't know . i just wish patrick was more like you -- less morally superior and more supportive . jason : well , i do n't know patrick well , but i do know that he 's a good doctor , and he 's a good guy . and right now he may not be doing or saying everything right , but i 'm sure all he wants is for you to get better . [ scene_break ] sonny : as you know , i 've known robin a long time . i know how she copes . i know the tools she uses . she 's had to go through a lot in her life . the person she loved dying of aids , getting diagnosed herself , living with hiv -- through that she 's had an incredible support system . but she has this stubborn , intense independent streak . she wants to do everything herself . she wants her own resources , and she has many . patrick : you definitely know my wife . sonny : yeah , she 's strong . she 's reliable , responsible , but she 's never let herself down until now . and here 's what i 'm thinking , patrick . i 'm thinking that maybe her system has failed her . whatever she used in the past to get over a crisis is not working anymore . and the chemical imbalance makes her emotionally unstable . and i can tell you right now , i can understand what it 's like to want to get away and be someone else for a minute . patrick : yeah , i mean , that all sounds reasonable . so what do i do ? sonny : first and foremost , you got to take care of emma . whatever you and robin are going through is going to make you guys stronger . emma does n't really know what 's going on . maybe she just feels that her mother is not 100 % emotionally available . but you have to make up for that . patrick : okay . sonny : second of all , i think -- i know it 's not easy . you got to make it okay -- you got to make it okay for robin , you know . give her the time and space she needs to deal with whatever she needs to deal with . do n't second- guess her . do n't doubt her . have some faith . personally , i think you 're going to get through it . [ scene_break ] ric : for somebody who hates me , you sure were enthusiastic . ric : feeling manipulated , are n't you ? claudia : oh , i wonder why . ric : that 's the only way i can get you to see reason , claudia . you 're so infatuated with being sonny 's wife . you 'll be disillusioned soon enough . then you 'll come crawling back to me willingly . claudia : do n't count on it . ric : well , at least you ca n't kill me . claudia : what ? ric : i know how you think . a problem comes up for you , you kill it . but you ca n't do that to me . claudia : i would n't be so sure . ric : i 'm very sure . you ever heard the expression , `` in the event of my death . `` [ scene_break ] nikolas : what happened ? rebecca : something 's wrong . i have to be biopsied .

[ scene_break ] jax : jerry should have gone to prison after he held half the town hostage . but he convinced me that he wanted to change his life , and i believed him . i covered for him , michael . and that gave jerry time to form alliances with people like claudia zacchara and ian devlin . my brother did n't pull the trigger , but he was part of the operation . it does n't matter that nobody knew that you were going to be there or that your father was the intended target . the unthinkable happened . and i have to own my share of the responsibility . i had a chance to come clean with your mother , but i did n't . i did n't say anything . i do n't think i 'm going to . see , we 're back together . it 's been a long time coming . she 's really happy right now . i do n't want to sacrifice that . because if carly ever knew what i allowed jerry to do , i 'm afraid that i 'd lose her forever .

[ scene_break ] jason : tell me what i want to know . helena : in my own time . you 're stalling . helena : no . savoring . it 's a different thing entirely . oh , it 's so tedious , lying here in this bed . doctors obsessing over me , fussing over me . i 'm feeling quite rejuvenated by my new visitors . sam : oh , god . do n't kid yourself , helena . you 're about three breaths away from dying . elizabeth : sam . helena may be incapable of feeling compassion , but you 're not . i mean , look at her . helena : why , thank you , elizabeth . there 's not a selfish bone in that delicate little body of yours , is there ? no deep , dark secrets with you . jason : hey . do n't talk to her . you talk to me . helena : well , if your taste runs to the insipid , it 's easy to understand how you could fall in love with elizabeth all over again , even without your memories to guide you . sam : how much longer are we gon na drag this out ? helena : as long as it amuses me , you guttersnipe . nikolas : grandmother , please . helena : why , nikolas , well , i 'm touched by your -- by your concern . sam : whatever game you and nikolas are playing can wait . can you please tell us what you did to jason ? helena : well , is n't it obvious ? i saved your life . nikolas , darling , could you get me some tea , please ? sam : this is pointless . she 's not gon na tell us anything . helena : oh , try to be gracious . after all , i did save the love of your life . sam : you did n't save his life -- you shattered it . helena : on the contrary . you can blame faison for that . jason : the man who shot me ? helena : and consigned you to a watery grave . before cesar made his move , he confided his plans . oh , thank you , my darling . nikolas : as one does . helena : well , it was all part of some convoluted plan to possess anna devane . [ chuckles ] i wished him well . but i did advise him that removing jason from the game was shortsighted . sam : you knew he was gon na shoot jason . you could have stopped him . helena : why would i do that ? no , when you fell in the water , my associates were there to snatch you up and deliver you to my brother - in - law 's custody . victor was very careful to make sure that you were well cared for while he acquired a means of reviving you . sam : `` acquired , `` meaning what , finding robin and having her find a way to bring him back ? helena : i used you for a while , and now you 're alive because of me . so ...

[ scene_break ] nina : so you want something while we wait ? the vending machine has those orange crackers with peanut butter . the silent treatment . really ? it 's not your strong suit -- being silent . franco : i can be quiet if i want to . and if i start talking to you , i might start screaming at you , and that would be awful because i might hurt my voice and deprive the world of my beautiful singing . nina : really ? screaming at me ? because they have bad food in the vending machine ? [ laughs ] that 's funny . franco : really funny . nina : seriously , you 're doing this because i saved you a pointless stay in prison ? franco : was it pointless when i tried to do the same thing for you ? nina : kiki is not me . franco : no , but i love you both . in very different ways , but i do . nina : [ sighs ] franco : and if you ca n't accept that , then maybe you and i need to re - evaluate our relationship . nina : what does that mean ? nathan : kiki , this is detective west . give me a call when you get this message , would you ? it 's important . [ sighs ] you , as much as i hate to say it , are free to go . franco : really ? just like that i 'm a free man ? nina : thank you , j . nathan : oh , do n't thank me . thank the guys in it . they 're the ones that produced that . i 'm sorry . franco : no , no , no , no , no , no , no . not time for you to apologize . time for you to prove that i 'm guilty . nina : wait , franco , come on , it 's over . just ... franco : it 's not over . it was halloween , and that is me in a wig . i 'm khaleesi . that 's my khaleesi costume . nathan : franco , you were home all night , just like nina said . kiki was the one that ran carly off the road . okay , now i got to bring her in . so if you care about her , you 'll tell me where she is . franco : i have no idea . nina : i may . franco : do n't you dare . nina : i saw her earlier with morgan , and if you find morgan , you 'll probably find kiki . [ scene_break ] patrick : [ clears throat ] carly : i have no idea where sam 's head is at right now , and i 'm guessing she does n't , either . patrick : i think i do . i mean , she went there to go help jason regain his memory , so , you know , they can remember the life that they had together . she left danny at monica 's . i 'm just glad that that kid is too young to acknowledge the fact that both of his parents are off risking their lives . carly : okay , that 's who sam is . and she would do the same thing for you that she 's doing for jason , no questions asked . patrick : carly , i would never put her in that position . jason does . he always does . he has no regard . he chases danger , has no regard for the people that he leaves behind that he claims to say that he loves . sam thinks that he 's justified in that action . she thinks that she 's justified in her action . carly : so where did you leave things ? patrick : i got out of her way . i told her i understand why she has to do this . she says that she loves me and that she 's coming back to me , but ... i do n't know . i just do n't know if we 're both kidding ourselves . carly : [ sighs ] [ cell phone rings ] carly : oh . oh . hello ? nathan : carly . hey , it 's nathan west . have you seen morgan lately ? carly : no , why ? is he in trouble ? nathan : no , no , no , no , no . i just got to ask him some questions . carly : about what ? nathan : your car accident , actually . carly : morgan does n't know anything about my car accident . and what does it matter ? you have franco in custody , right ? nathan : not anymore .

that no matter how hard i tried , it did n't matter what i 'd do . i knew it . i knew he was gon na leave again . jack : you know what she likes better than i do ! so quadruple it , and get everything here by 5 : 00 . great . thanks . traci : hmm . what 's the occasion ? jack : traci ! traci : [ laughs ] jack : you little sneak ! why did n't you tell me you were coming ? traci : oh , i wanted it to be a surprise . jack : well , you got me there ! traci : good . we 'll consider that retribution for the surprise i got when i heard you were getting back together with phyllis . jack : ashley sent you . traci : [ laughs ] and , uh , not a moment too soon , from what it sounds like . both : ohh ! michael : gosh , i 'm so sorry ! phyllis : [ laughs ] that would 've been funny at my business meeting -- trying to decide whether the coffee stain was , uh , a - a puffy cloud or an ax murderer . michael : well , i vote for the latter . phyllis : [ chuckles ] i like a puffy cloud . michael : hmm . phyllis : puffy cloud always . michael : things going that good for you ? phyllis : yeah . i went on vacation . i moved in with jack . michael : wow . okay . congratulations . that 's terrific . phyllis : yeah , it 's so great . it 's really great . yeah , we -- we managed to find the balance between love , fun , and salty caramel ice cream -- not in that order . michael : [ chuckles dryly ] phyllis : fun . michael : yeah , fun . wow . it 's nice to know that some people can find their way back to one another . phyllis : i know you and lauren were having problems . i just figured maybe you worked it out by now . michael : while you were moving in with jack , i was moving out . phyllis : i 'm sorry . michael : well , you know , that 's what you get for not calling me for a week . phyllis : does this have to do with all the stuff with fen and the bullying ? michael : oh , so much more has happened since then . phyllis : how did lauren take it when you moved out ? michael : oh . well ... she was too wrapped up in her new boyfriend to care . carmine : but does n't that tell you something ? i mean , if your impulse is to be with me -- lauren : i ca n't act on every impulse i have . carmine : those impulses are what keep you alive . what do you think lake geneva was about ? lauren : [ sighs ] carmine : a few days with me , and you were good to go again . lauren : it does n't erase my problems . they 're here every time i came back . and now i 'm gon na deal with them . carmine : just how michael 's dealing with them , too -- like , packing his bags and leaving ? i mean , hell , if he can do it , why ca n't we ? lauren : the only reason that he left is because i was unavailable for him , and because every time he looked at me or touched me ... all i could think about was -- carmine : us ? lauren : [ voice breaking ] i want ... my life back . i want my family back ! and i 'm gon na do everything i can to make that happen . paul : then you need to end this now . traci : all right ! how serious is this ? when ashley got back from her trip , she was ... pretty upset , but that 's been a few weeks ago now . jack : and a lot can happen in a few weeks , huh ? traci : so , is that the answer to my question ? jack : the answer to your question is , phyllis makes me happy . traci : [ sighs ] ah , where have i heard that before ? jack : traci , it 's different . traci : no , do n't you dare tell me it 's gon na be different this time ! jack : it is different . i am different ... all thanks to phyllis . she got me through rehab ! she saved my life ! traci : all right . so , then , that would make you feel grateful , naturally -- jack : i wish people could stop saying that ! it 's more than gratitude . she 's a woman i ca n't seem to forget ! i keep going back to her again and again , because no one and nothing else makes sense . she 's part of who i am , traci . and if you ca n't accept that , you might as well turn around and go home . traci : [ scoffs ] well , i do n't think that 'll be necessary . jack , if phyllis makes you happy , well , then , i 'm happy for you . phyllis : i got to be honest . it sounds suspicious . michael : you think ? i mean , if it was just the man 's voice in the background , i could write that off . but there 's the cards and the note . phyllis : yeah . yeah . um ... even if there is somebody , it does n't mean it 's serious . people have weak moments , so i hear . michael : yeah . you would n't know anything about that , huh ? phyllis : no . you know , some guy starts flirting with lauren , right ? makes her feel good . she has problems at home . she talks to this guy -- michael : you want to spare me the details ? ! phyllis : it just could be over . that 's my point . michael : i suppose it could be . phyllis : okay , but do n't suppose , and talk to her . michael : lauren 's not gon na admit anything to me . phyllis : sneaking around -- it chips away at your soul . you start wishing somebody would find out . telling the truth is so much easier than living a lie . lauren : i - i know what this looks like . but , uh , you know , i - i was thinking about having a party and -- and needed bartender quotes , and -- and that 's why i asked carmine over . paul : oh ! oh . so i guess you 're all out of the best excuses ? carmine : [ sighs ] look , dude . it 's not what it seems , okay ? we 're just friends . paul : you 're not anything anymore . now get the hell out , `` dude . `` carmine : says the guy who walked in uninvited . lauren : carmine . carmine : look . no . you do n't have to take this . lauren : can you just -- can you go , please ? carmine : yeah . fine . i 'll give you a call about those quotes . paul : [ scoffs ] lauren : [ sighs ] paul : the quotes ? really ? do i look that stupid ? lauren : i 'm not having an affair . paul : okay . lauren : i broke it off . i told him i was n't gon na see him anymore . paul : so you risk your marriage for that guy ? come on , lauren . i do n't care how great the sex is . lauren : that is none of your business ! paul : that 's too bad . you know what ? friends look out for each other . they tell them things they do n't want to hear . they try and stop them from making mistakes . come on , lauren . this is n't you . this is n't the life you built for yourself ! lauren : [ sighs ] paul : why would you do something like this ? lauren : [ voice breaking ] he was someone to talk to . when michael and i were barely speaking ... carmine listened . and , you know , for a while , i thought that he was just a simple , safe place . h - how do you go back ? i mean , how do you -- how do you get rid of this guilt ? paul : i 'm not sure that you can . lauren : you 're -- you 're not gon na tell michael , right ? i do not want him to hear about this . paul : i 'm not gon na tell michael anything . lauren : [ sighs ] paul : you are . cane : i will give cindy a call -- thank you -- and remind her . what time do you want to make it ?

lily : mm . i do n't know , because , unlike some big shots i know , i do n't make my own hours . cane : you know , speaking of big shots , i happen to know one that has a very soft spot for you that would love to let you off work at least an hour early so you can come home and spend some time with his grandkids . lily : i know , but unfortunately , no matter what my dad says , i 'm gon na have to do double the work , since tyler is m.i.a . cane : mm . yep . leslie : i mean , he really did n't have much . but i suppose he could wear that suit he wore to court . i mean , but we 'd have to take it to the cleaners , which is fine , because we have to decide on music and -- and flowers . um , what do you think about lilies and chrysanthemums ? those are pretty standard for a funeral , right ? tyler : yeah , i guess . whatever . leslie : or roses . roses are always beautiful . we just have to decide on a color ... or colors . any preference ? tyler : i ca n't do this . [ door opens , closes ] leslie : only other funeral he went to was my mom 's . well , you know , i mean , i handled that one by myself . no reason i ca n't ... do the same with this one . neil : leslie , you wo n't have to . i say ... white and yellow ... roses ... and , considering your dad 's circumstance , um ... `` i 'm free `` for the hymn . leslie : thank god for you , neil . neil : does gus own a cemetery plot ? leslie : um , uh , not that i 'm aware of . no . neil : okay . listen , sweetheart . um , we could ... take him back to milwaukee , bury him ... next to your mother , and that way , you and tyler ... can visit both graves at the same time . bad idea ? leslie : no , no . no , it 's fine . i just , uh ... uh , when -- when my mom died and , uh , my dad was locked up ... tyler and i considered ourselves orphans . neil : mm - hmm . leslie : as far as we were concerned , both our parents were dead . you ever build a tent in your backyard and imagine that you were in a forest somewhere far , far away ? and , uh -- i mean , but you knew , if you suddenly heard a scary noise or got hungry in the middle of the night ... you could always go back inside , and you 'd be okay . neil : yeah . many times . leslie : yeah . tyler and i are still in that tent . the house is gone . we are really alone in the forest . neil : hey . i know exactly how you feel . leslie : did you lose your parents ? kyle : [ exhales sharply ] [ strained ] whoa ! what the hell , man ? fenmore : i thought you might need a spotter . kyle : back off , dude ! fenmore : stay away from summer ! kyle : this is about summer ? ! fenmore : if you want to sleep around , go take advantage of someone else . kyle : what are you talking about ? you need to get your facts straight before you hurt somebody ! fenmore : if you hurt her , it 's gon na get a lot worse than this . kyle : [ grunts ] all right . listen to me , you son of a -- carmine : whoa , whoa , whoa ! guys , guys , guys ! geez ! what 's wrong with you ? fenmore : he came after me ! carmine : just get out of here before i call the cops ! go on ! geez ! fenmore : i meant what i said . kyle : that boy is seriously messed up . lauren : i - i ca n't do that to michael . i -- i ca n't do that to him ! paul : do n't you think he already knows ? i mean , lauren , the guy just poured his guts out to me about his suspicions . and what do i do ? i talk him down . i tell him to give you the benefit of the doubt , that you love him . lauren : i do love him ! paul : then you need to be honest with him . you say you want your old life back . that lauren would put it all on the table and take what 's coming to her . you love michael ? then reach out to him ... and be honest . it 's gon na hurt him , yes . and you 're gon na feel like hell . but come on -- is n't that a hell of a lot better than -- than making a fool out of him ? does n't he deserve that much ? lauren : [ sniffles ] jack : hey ! all settled in ? traci : sort of . i went to my bedroom , and apparently , it 's taken . jack : oh , god . traci , i 'm sorry . we made that summer 's bedroom . traci : wait , phyllis ' daughter lives here ? jack : phyllis does , too . phyllis : all right . i 'm back , and i 'm ready -- hey . summer : hey ! i got your call , but i was on my way to a fitting , so i do n't have a lot of time to talk . kyle : do n't worry . this is n't gon na take long . it 's just not the kind of thing you tell somebody over the phone . summer : [ chuckles nervously ] i 'm -- i 'm not getting fired , am i ? i mean , i know i do n't have a lot of modeling experience , but i -- kyle : no , no , no , no , no . it 's about fen . summer : fen ? kyle : yeah . he , uh -- he freaked out on me earlier . summer : oh , my -- kyle : he got all possessive , and he warned me to stay away from you . summer : oh , my god . i 'm -- i 'm really sorry . i can not believe that he did that to you . kyle : i - i know i told you i thought he was n't a threat ... summer : mm - hmm ? kyle : ... but that kid is messed up . summer : yeah . i mean , actually , i was -- i was completely off about all of that stuff . okay -- see , his parents are breaking up , and i think that 's what 's making him do all this crazy and stupid stuff , which i totally relate to . so , it 's just a bunch of built - up rage , and he does n't know how to deal with it . kyle : yeah , that 's what worries me . i think you should do your best to avoid him . summer : well , i guess it 's a good thing that he thinks you 're my boyfriend . it 'll explain why you 're always around to look out for me . kyle : yeah . carmine : hey ! rocky !

[ cell phone chimes ] cane : do n't worry about it . go . i want to hear the rest of the story . lily : no , you should see who that is . cane : actually , i 'm quite surprised that your phone has been so quiet , 'cause normally , you 'd get 30 or 40 e - mails from tyler by now about the campaign . lily : i actually have n't heard from him once today . cane : maybe he 's hanging out with all those models . lily : [ chuckles ] cane : but go ahead . i want to hear the story about the cowboy hat . lily : that could really be important . cane : what is more important than stories about cowboy hats and our children ? lily : oh , i do n't know -- just putting a roof over their heads and food in their mouths ? you know , simple stuff . cane : hmm . you know what ? that 's a good point . let me check this message . oh , it 's , uh -- it 's katherine . let me go and check in with her , all right ? just give me one sec . excuse me , baby . [ cell phone chimes ] neil : so if your father had died a few months ago , how would you have felt ? tyler : probably not much of anything , i guess . neil : come on , tyler -- you would 've partied all night long . you would 've cheered the fact that the man who murdered your mother was finally where he belonged . and look at you both . what does that tell you ? i mean , you know he was n't a murderer . you know he was n't the monster that two scared little kids thought he was . leslie : yeah . if anything , he seemed kind of pitiful . neil : he had a lifetime of regrets , i 'm sure , but the biggest regret being that he was n't a better father . i - i watched him recently . he was desperate to try to change that . leslie : and we did n't make it easy on him . neil : you were angry . you were hurt . you still are -- with gus ... hell , even yourself . especially yourself . tyler : yeah -- for not listening to my gut , for getting too close to the guy . everything inside of me was saying , `` stay away . this is gon na end bad . `` you know what i know about my dad ? that no matter how hard i tried , it did n't matter what i 'd do . i knew it . i knew he was gon na leave again . jack : you know what she likes better than i do ! so quadruple it , and get everything here by 5 : 00 . great . thanks . traci : hmm . what 's the occasion ? jack : traci ! traci : [ laughs ] jack : you little sneak ! why did n't you tell me you were coming ? traci : oh , i wanted it to be a surprise . jack : well , you got me there ! traci : good . we 'll consider that retribution for the surprise i got when i heard you were getting back together with phyllis . jack : ashley sent you . traci : [ laughs ] and , uh , not a moment too soon , from what it sounds like . both : ohh ! michael : gosh , i 'm so sorry ! phyllis : [ laughs ] that would 've been funny at my business meeting -- trying to decide whether the coffee stain was , uh , a - a puffy cloud or an ax murderer . michael : well , i vote for the latter . phyllis : [ chuckles ] i like a puffy cloud . michael : hmm . phyllis : puffy cloud always . michael : things going that good for you ? phyllis : yeah . i went on vacation . i moved in with jack . michael : wow . okay . congratulations . that 's terrific . phyllis : yeah , it 's so great . it 's really great . yeah , we -- we managed to find the balance between love , fun , and salty caramel ice cream -- not in that order . michael : [ chuckles dryly ] phyllis : fun . michael : yeah , fun . wow . it 's nice to know that some people can find their way back to one another . phyllis : i know you and lauren were having problems . i just figured maybe you worked it out by now . michael : while you were moving in with jack , i was moving out . phyllis : i 'm sorry . michael : well , you know , that 's what you get for not calling me for a week . phyllis : does this have to do with all the stuff with fen and the bullying ? michael : oh , so much more has happened since then . phyllis : how did lauren take it when you moved out ? michael : oh . well ... she was too wrapped up in her new boyfriend to care . carmine : but does n't that tell you something ? i mean , if your impulse is to be with me -- lauren : i ca n't act on every impulse i have . carmine : those impulses are what keep you alive . what do you think lake geneva was about ? lauren : [ sighs ] carmine : a few days with me , and you were good to go again . lauren : it does n't erase my problems . they 're here every time i came back . and now i 'm gon na deal with them . carmine : just how michael 's dealing with them , too -- like , packing his bags and leaving ? i mean , hell , if he can do it , why ca n't we ? lauren : the only reason that he left is because i was unavailable for him , and because every time he looked at me or touched me ... all i could think about was -- carmine : us ? lauren : [ voice breaking ] i want ... my life back . i want my family back ! and i 'm gon na do everything i can to make that happen . paul : then you need to end this now . traci : all right ! how serious is this ? when ashley got back from her trip , she was ... pretty upset , but that 's been a few weeks ago now . jack : and a lot can happen in a few weeks , huh ? traci : so , is that the answer to my question ? jack : the answer to your question is , phyllis makes me happy . traci : [ sighs ] ah , where have i heard that before ? jack : traci , it 's different . traci : no , do n't you dare tell me it 's gon na be different this time ! jack : it is different . i am different ... all thanks to phyllis . she got me through rehab ! she saved my life ! traci : all right . so , then , that would make you feel grateful , naturally -- jack : i wish people could stop saying that ! it 's more than gratitude . she 's a woman i ca n't seem to forget ! i keep going back to her again and again , because no one and nothing else makes sense . she 's part of who i am , traci . and if you ca n't accept that , you might as well turn around and go home . traci : [ scoffs ] well , i do n't think that 'll be necessary . jack , if phyllis makes you happy , well , then , i 'm happy for you . phyllis : i got to be honest . it sounds suspicious . michael : you think ? i mean , if it was just the man 's voice in the background , i could write that off . but there 's the cards and the note . phyllis : yeah . yeah . um ... even if there is somebody , it does n't mean it 's serious . people have weak moments , so i hear . michael : yeah . you would n't know anything about that , huh ? phyllis : no . you know , some guy starts flirting with lauren , right ? makes her feel good . she has problems at home . she talks to this guy -- michael : you want to spare me the details ? ! phyllis : it just could be over . that 's my point . michael : i suppose it could be . phyllis : okay , but do n't suppose , and talk to her . michael : lauren 's not gon na admit anything to me . phyllis : sneaking around -- it chips away at your soul . you start wishing somebody would find out . telling the truth is so much easier than living a lie . lauren : i - i know what this looks like . but , uh , you know , i - i was thinking about having a party and -- and needed bartender quotes , and -- and that 's why i asked carmine over . paul : oh ! oh . so i guess you 're all out of the best excuses ? carmine : [ sighs ] look , dude . it 's not what it seems , okay ? we 're just friends . paul : you 're not anything anymore . now get the hell out , `` dude . `` carmine : says the guy who walked in uninvited . lauren : carmine . carmine : look . no . you do n't have to take this . lauren : can you just -- can you go , please ? carmine : yeah . fine . i 'll give you a call about those quotes . paul : [ scoffs ] lauren : [ sighs ] paul : the quotes ? really ? do i look that stupid ? lauren : i 'm not having an affair . paul : okay . lauren : i broke it off . i told him i was n't gon na see him anymore . paul : so you risk your marriage for that guy ? come on , lauren . i do n't care how great the sex is . lauren : that is none of your business ! paul : that 's too bad . you know what ? friends look out for each other . they tell them things they do n't want to hear . they try and stop them from making mistakes . come on , lauren . this is n't you . this is n't the life you built for yourself ! lauren : [ sighs ] paul : why would you do something like this ? lauren : [ voice breaking ] he was someone to talk to . when michael and i were barely speaking ... carmine listened . and , you know , for a while , i thought that he was just a simple , safe place . h - how do you go back ? i mean , how do you -- how do you get rid of this guilt ? paul : i 'm not sure that you can . lauren : you 're -- you 're not gon na tell michael , right ? i do not want him to hear about this . paul : i 'm not gon na tell michael anything . lauren : [ sighs ] paul : you are . cane : i will give cindy a call -- thank you -- and remind her . what time do you want to make it ? hey . hey . honey . baby . lily : yes . cane : hello ? lily : yes . hi . cane : where did you go ? lily : um , i - i was just , uh , thinking about the fitting . but what were you saying ? cane : what time do you want to make movie night tonight ? lily : mm . i do n't know , because , unlike some big shots i know , i do n't make my own hours . cane : you know , speaking of big shots , i happen to know one that has a very soft spot for you that would love to let you off work at least an hour early so you can come home and spend some time with his grandkids . lily : i know , but unfortunately , no matter what my dad says , i 'm gon na have to do double the work , since tyler is m.i.a . cane : mm . yep . leslie : i mean , he really did n't have much . but i suppose he could wear that suit he wore to court . i mean , but we 'd have to take it to the cleaners , which is fine , because we have to decide on music and -- and flowers . um , what do you think about lilies and chrysanthemums ? those are pretty standard for a funeral , right ? tyler : yeah , i guess . whatever . leslie : or roses . roses are always beautiful . we just have to decide on a color ... or colors . any preference ? tyler : i ca n't do this . [ door opens , closes ] leslie : only other funeral he went to was my mom 's . well , you know , i mean , i handled that one by myself . no reason i ca n't ... do the same with this one . neil : leslie , you wo n't have to . i say ... white and yellow ... roses ... and , considering your dad 's circumstance , um ... `` i 'm free `` for the hymn . leslie : thank god for you , neil . neil : does gus own a cemetery plot ? leslie : um , uh , not that i 'm aware of . no . neil : okay . listen , sweetheart . um , we could ... take him back to milwaukee , bury him ... next to your mother , and that way , you and tyler ... can visit both graves at the same time . bad idea ? leslie : no , no . no , it 's fine . i just , uh ... uh , when -- when my mom died and , uh , my dad was locked up ... tyler and i considered ourselves orphans . neil : mm - hmm . leslie : as far as we were concerned , both our parents were dead . you ever build a tent in your backyard and imagine that you were in a forest somewhere far , far away ? and , uh -- i mean , but you knew , if you suddenly heard a scary noise or got hungry in the middle of the night ... you could always go back inside , and you 'd be okay . neil : yeah . many times . leslie : yeah . tyler and i are still in that tent . the house is gone . we are really alone in the forest . neil : hey . i know exactly how you feel . leslie : did you lose your parents ? kyle : [ exhales sharply ] [ strained ] whoa ! what the hell , man ? fenmore : i thought you might need a spotter . kyle : back off , dude ! fenmore : stay away from summer ! kyle : this is about summer ? ! fenmore : if you want to sleep around , go take advantage of someone else . kyle : what are you talking about ? you need to get your facts straight before you hurt somebody ! fenmore : if you hurt her , it 's gon na get a lot worse than this . kyle : [ grunts ] all right . listen to me , you son of a -- carmine : whoa , whoa , whoa ! guys , guys , guys ! geez ! what 's wrong with you ? fenmore : he came after me ! carmine : just get out of here before i call the cops ! go on ! geez ! fenmore : i meant what i said . kyle : that boy is seriously messed up . lauren : i - i ca n't do that to michael . i -- i ca n't do that to him ! paul : do n't you think he already knows ? i mean , lauren , the guy just poured his guts out to me about his suspicions . and what do i do ? i talk him down . i tell him to give you the benefit of the doubt , that you love him . lauren : i do love him ! paul : then you need to be honest with him . you say you want your old life back . that lauren would put it all on the table and take what 's coming to her . you love michael ? then reach out to him ... and be honest . it 's gon na hurt him , yes . and you 're gon na feel like hell . but come on -- is n't that a hell of a lot better than -- than making a fool out of him ? does n't he deserve that much ? lauren : [ sniffles ] jack : hey ! all settled in ? traci : sort of . i went to my bedroom , and apparently , it 's taken . jack : oh , god . traci , i 'm sorry . we made that summer 's bedroom . traci : wait , phyllis ' daughter lives here ? jack : phyllis does , too . phyllis : all right . i 'm back , and i 'm ready -- hey . summer : hey ! i got your call , but i was on my way to a fitting , so i do n't have a lot of time to talk . kyle : do n't worry . this is n't gon na take long . it 's just not the kind of thing you tell somebody over the phone . summer : [ chuckles nervously ] i 'm -- i 'm not getting fired , am i ? i mean , i know i do n't have a lot of modeling experience , but i -- kyle : no , no , no , no , no . it 's about fen . summer : fen ? kyle : yeah . he , uh -- he freaked out on me earlier . summer : oh , my -- kyle : he got all possessive , and he warned me to stay away from you . summer : oh , my god . i 'm -- i 'm really sorry . i can not believe that he did that to you . kyle : i - i know i told you i thought he was n't a threat ... summer : mm - hmm ? kyle : ... but that kid is messed up . summer : yeah . i mean , actually , i was -- i was completely off about all of that stuff . okay -- see , his parents are breaking up , and i think that 's what 's making him do all this crazy and stupid stuff , which i totally relate to . so , it 's just a bunch of built - up rage , and he does n't know how to deal with it . kyle : yeah , that 's what worries me . i think you should do your best to avoid him . summer : well , i guess it 's a good thing that he thinks you 're my boyfriend . it 'll explain why you 're always around to look out for me . kyle : yeah . carmine : hey ! rocky !

kiki : cleaning up after morgan ? ava : that 's a full - time job . kiki : seriously . ava : you know , i was n't aware that you were n't happy at your father 's . kiki : oh , it 's not that . it was just getting crowded there , not to mention awkward , now that his wife moved in . nina : it 's only natural that you would ask what franco and i were talking about . i 'm sure i would do the same thing in your position . actually , i do n't think i would ask . silas : no , i think you 'd probably go for a headlock and demand an answer . nina : headlock is not my style . you know that . indian burn , though -- would do that . silas : nina ... nina : hurts . you twist the skin ... silas : stop stalling . nina : i do n't think there 's any way out of this . you 're gon na find out eventually . i 've been lying to you . carly : oh , my god . how could i do this ? i mean , franco has been twisted up in knots over us , and i go ahead and i prove him right . what is wrong with me ? sonny : absolutely nothing , okay ? come here . carly : no , no , do n't kiss me . do n't -- do n't do anything . i have to think here ! sonny : about what ? carly : about what ? ! about what a liar and a cheater i am and many other choice words ! sonny : you 're being too hard on yourself . i mean , look , your relationship with franco 's not stable . he 's not stable . carly : do n't ! do n't talk about him . sonny : i 'm just saying he 's not stable . carly : i know , okay ? and i know we 've been arguing lately , but that 's only been lately , and it 's because he 's been upset about this , and now look at us . look ! sonny : i 'm looking . carly : really ? you 're gon na flirt with me ? sonny : yeah . carly : i 'm standing here , freaking out , and you 're just gon na flirt with me ? sonny : you want to feel bad about what happened , go ahead , carly . 'cause i do n't . i enjoyed every second of it . come here . carly : we ca n't -- we ca n't do this . sonny : we ca n't take it back . it 's already -- we already did it , so ... we got all night to do whatever we want to do , right ? franco : honey , i 'm home ! carly : did you hear something ? sonny : no , do n't worry about it . [ door slams ] sonny : yeah , that -- that time , i heard something . franco : carly ? carly : oh , my god . it 's him . franco : carly ! are you here ? sonny : i thought you said franco was stuck in an elevator . carly : he was supposed to be , or at least i -- i thought he was . oh , my god . this is a nightmare . what are you doing ? get up ! get up ! you have to hide ! sonny : that ai n't happening . olivia : i told him the truth . i told him that i made the whole thing up , that -- that i was lying about the whole thing of us seeing each other and everything . ned : oh , that . olivia : so , yeah , i just thought that any thinking adult would probably want to not lose any more sleep over what sonny might do to retaliate , so ... ned : olivia , if i lose any sleep at all , it 's because of alice , not sonny . olivia : well , good . i mean , not that it 's good if you 're losing sleep over alice . i 'm just -- i 'm glad that you 're not scared of sonny , so ... ned : i know what you meant . olivia : yeah . so , thank you very much for playing along . i really do appreciate it . and you are off the hook . you do n't have to pretend to be , you know , hanging around or anything anymore , like , anything like that . ned : what if i ... do n't want to be off the hook ? morgan : there 's not really an update . we still do n't know if the kid 's mine or my dad 's or ... rosalie : does it ever get any less weird saying that ? morgan : no , it does n't . you know what ? that 's not true , actually . there is an update -- me and my dad have gotten a little bit better . rosalie : yeah ? morgan : yeah . i mean , i think , one day , we 'll be able to come out the other side of this , hopefully , but he did make it clear that nothing romantic was going on with my ex , now or ever . but ... rosalie : well , that must be a relief . morgan : yeah , i guess so . i 've talked this to death , honestly . but what 's going on with you ? how are things with your father ? rosalie : uh , what do you mean ? morgan : well , the day you hit me with the phone , you said that 's who pissed you off , right ? silas : well , that 's a loaded statement . what exactly are you lying to me about ? nina : you promise you wo n't get mad ? silas : no . nina : oh , okay . nina : um , i 've been skipping my physical - therapy sessions . silas : why ? nina : because i 've been taking franco 's art - therapy class instead . silas : well , first of all , p.t . is not an outlet . it 's vital to your recovery . nina : right . well , this other outlet , um , has been really great . it 's really helped me ... the art - therapy class . um ... i have issues . i have deep - seated issues that i 'm not dealing with . i learned that . i just put a smile on my face and i cling to a positive outlook . come on . what 's positive about your mom drugging you and rendering you useless for a couple decades ? silas : i know . i 'm soy . nina : i 'm having a hard time . um , you know , one minute , i was happily married with a baby on the way , and then , the next , everything was gone . i lost our baby . and to make matters worse , when i woke up , your mistress ... had your baby instead . ava : i read in the paper that nina clay was alive . i just did n't realize that she 'd be staying in town , let alone silas ' apartment . kiki : yeah , i guess she had nowhere to stay , or no money , either . i do n't really know the story , but it seems complicated . ava : yes , i 'd imagine . how 's my niece taking it ? kiki : you can not be enjoying this . ava : i 'm just asking . kiki : sam and silas broke up . ava : [ chuckles ] kiki : do n't -- ava : it 's tragic ! kiki : there were a lot of contributing factors . from what silas said , sam thought that nina was trying to undermine them . ava : you 're not saying ... silas and nina , they 're not -- they 're not together now , are they ? kiki : oh , not that i know of , but from what i can tell , if nina had it her way , they would be . nina : maybe i was naive . but before my mom told me about you and ava , i just ... i thought my life was perfect . i thought we were perfect . close to it . kind of perfect . i was doing so well at that time , remember ? i was so happy . and i had this little secret . i was so excited to tell you that you were gon na be a daddy . do you want to know how i was going to tell you ? i 'm gon na tell you . so , i was gon na make this great dinner , and we were gon na sit down , and i put the napkin on your lap , and then you 'd pull it up , and then a rattle would fall out ..... up , and then a rattle would fall out . and not ... [ voice breaking ] the breakable kind but the stuffed - animal kind . and then you would say to me , `` nina , what -- what is this ? `` and i would tell you that you 're gon na be a daddy . well , i did n't get to do that . i did n't get to fold the napkin and make you dinner . none of that happened . silas : tell me what i can do . nina : nothing . oh , my god . could you just turn the clock back ? please , just turn the clock back . [ sniffles ] i know you ca n't . i 'm trying to be strong . silas : hey . you are strong . nina : i 'm not . i 'm not . i swear to you ... this is so horrible . silas , this would drive a lesser woman mad . franco : carly , hey ! hello ? ! carly ! we have some things to discuss ! and by things ... i mean ... carly : this has got to be a joke , right ? you 're kidding ? sonny : i have never hid from another man in my li -- carly : keep your voice down ! sonny : sorry . carly : sonny corinthos , get your ass out of my bed . sonny : you know how i feel about franco , right ? he 's bad news . trust me . you 're gon na thank me for this one day . carly : really ? then i 'm gon na be thanking you in jail . because if franco walks in here and he catches you in our bed , he 's gon na go tell the cops and michael that you killed aj . tracy : alice , you 're not making any sense . michael : let her talk . you were saying ? alice : okay , i went to your office -- you know , the day that you found me ? when i got there , i overheard miss tracy on the phone with mr. luke , and she was saying how she 's back in the fold now and how they 're gon na steal the company right out from under you . tracy : do you know how much pain medication this woman is on ? she is obviously delirious . michael : oh , she sounds pretty sane to me . tracy : really ? you 're gon na take the word of a doped up woman over me ? michael : you 're damn right i am . you 're fired . ava : i suppose it 's best for everybody that you got out of that apartment . kiki : just to set the story straight , it was my decision to move . nina and silas would 've been fine with me staying there . ava : i 'm sure silas would 've been . but it must have been strange for nina to have you around , given my relationship with her husband . kiki : right ? that 's what i thought . do you know one of the last things she found out about before she went into the coma was your affair ? ava : that 's terrible . kiki : i know . but nina and i had a conversation about it . we cleared the air , and ... according to nina , she 's over it . ava : [ laughs ] kiki : what ? ava : oh , dear . clearly , you have never been cheated on , because it may be cliché , but it is also very true -- hell hath no fury like a woman scorned . nina : i 'm sorry that i ' unloading all my problems on you , as if you had n't had a long enough day . silas : no , that 's all right . i 'm glad . nina : that i 'm a mess ? silas : no . that you told me . i 'm glad that you told me . i 've been so focused on you getting ... better physically that i overlooked all the other stuff . nina : oh , keep on overlooking this , please . please . i mean , what 's going on up here , it 's not fun . silas : no , but it 's still there . and i want to help you work through it . you know , this place ... g.h . , they got a great psych department . no , no . nothing about the looney bin . nina : uh - huh . silas : talking about counselors and therapists . nina : but that 's what got me here in the first place . silas : no meds . no meds . talking about being able to open up to somebody and try and make sense of all this . nina : well ... that 's what i 'm doing in the art - therapy class . silas : again with the art therapy ? nina : yeah , it is . it 's nice . silas : is any of this working ? nina : it does . it does . it helps me open up and deal with my pain . it 's good , even though i still suck at drawing and painting . it has n't helped with any of that . silas : well , you never sucked . okay , you sucked a little . silas : all right . keep doing the classes . nina : really ? silas : yeah . nina : thank you . silas : skipping p.t . 's not an option , though . we 're gon na figure out a way for you to do both . nina : okay . i should 've known you 'd understand . morgan : i know i was distracted that day , but did n't you say you got in a fight with your dad ?

alice : but the way that you turned your back on them . and now you expect me to do it ? michael : wait . turned her back ? alice : it ai n't right , miss tracy . it 's just not . you know it , and i know it . tracy : alice , i think that -- michael : hold on . are you saying what i think you 're saying ? alice : miss tracy and mr. luke were plotting to take elq back . ned : i love you , too . all right . yeah , i 'll talk to you soon . all right , bye . olivia : wait . do n't -- do n't get off the phone because of me . ned : no . olivia : i was just -- i was stopping by because i just wanted to see how you were holding up with alice and everything . ned : i 'm great . i 'm great ! i was just talking to brook lynn and sharing the good news . olivia : wait a minute . alice got a heart ? ned : she got a heart . olivia : that is so fantastic . ned : it is fantastic . it 's really fantastic . olivia : i told you . ned : i mean , if all goes well , she should make a full recovery . olivia : miracles really do happen . ned : so , you did n't come all the way out here to find out about alice , did you ? olivia : well , i was worried , so ... ned : you should 've just called . it 's so late . olivia : [ sighs ] ned : is , uh , something else going on ? olivia : all right , you got me . uh ... i got an ulterior motive . nina : a secret ? um ... i 'm not -- i 'm not sure , really -- silas : when i came around the corner , i heard franco mention my name . and , i mean , i get it -- you two were in a tight space , and , you know , people talk . it 's natural . but i do n't think it 's out of line to ask what you 're keeping from me . morgan : `` last laugh `` -- that sounds like you have a plan of attack , there . rosalie : your friend . morgan : what ? rosalie : your friend that 's here in the hospital -- is n't that why you 're here ? morgan : oh , yeah , yeah , yeah . i 'm sorry . it just kind of came out of nowhere . rosalie : keep up . um , so how is he or she doing ? morgan : she -- she 's doing great , actually . rosalie : that 's awesome . morgan : yeah , yeah . rosalie : yeah , actually , i was a little worried when i did n't hear from you . i thought maybe the worst had happened . morgan : oh , well , it kind of almost did . i mean , alice -- she found a heart at the last minute , so it worked out . rosalie : she needed a transplant ? morgan : yeah , i guess i failed to mention that . rosalie : wow . well , i 'm really happy for you . and for her . morgan : thank you . thanks . rosalie : gosh . that must be a huge weight off your shoulders . morgan : oh , yeah , you have no idea . it is . rosalie : so , i guess the only thing left on your mind is the whole situation with your father and your ex - girlfriend ? kiki : we are roommates , nothing else . ava : where ? kiki : uh , at the brownstone down by the docks . ava : i read something about that . elq wants to revamp that neighborhood ? kiki : yeah , that was actually michael 's idea . and morgan is helping him with the project in exchange for a room . ava : mm . and you ?

[ door slams ] sonny : yeah , that -- that time , i heard something . franco : carly ? carly : oh , my god . it 's him . franco : carly ! are you here ? sonny : i thought you said franco was stuck in an elevator . carly : he was supposed to be , or at least i -- i thought he was . oh , my god . this is a nightmare . what are you doing ? get up ! get up ! you have to hide ! sonny : that ai n't happening . olivia : i told him the truth . i told him that i made the whole thing up , that -- that i was lying about the whole thing of us seeing each other and everything . ned : oh , that . olivia : so , yeah , i just thought that any thinking adult would probably want to not lose any more sleep over what sonny might do to retaliate , so ... ned : olivia , if i lose any sleep at all , it 's because of alice , not sonny . olivia : well , good . i mean , not that it 's good if you 're losing sleep over alice . i 'm just -- i 'm glad that you 're not scared of sonny , so ... ned : i know what you meant . olivia : yeah . so , thank you very much for playing along . i really do appreciate it . and you are off the hook . you do n't have to pretend to be , you know , hanging around or anything anymore , like , anything like that . ned : what if i ... do n't want to be off the hook ? morgan : there 's not really an update . we still do n't know if the kid 's mine or my dad 's or ... rosalie : does it ever get any less weird saying that ? morgan : no , it does n't . you know what ? that 's not true , actually . there is an update -- me and my dad have gotten a little bit better . rosalie : yeah ? morgan : yeah . i mean , i think , one day , we 'll be able to come out the other side of this , hopefully , but he did make it clear that nothing romantic was going on with my ex , now or ever . but ... rosalie : well , that must be a relief . morgan : yeah , i guess so . i 've talked this to death , honestly . but what 's going on with you ? how are things with your father ? rosalie : uh , what do you mean ? morgan : well , the day you hit me with the phone , you said that 's who pissed you off , right ? silas : well , that 's a loaded statement . what exactly are you lying to me about ? nina : you promise you wo n't get mad ? silas : no . nina : oh , okay . nina : um , i 've been skipping my physical - therapy sessions . silas : why ? nina : because i 've been taking franco 's art - therapy class instead . silas : well , first of all , p.t . is not an outlet . it 's vital to your recovery . nina : right . well , this other outlet , um , has been really great . it 's really helped me ... the art - therapy class . um ... i have issues . i have deep - seated issues that i 'm not dealing with . i learned that . i just put a smile on my face and i cling to a positive outlook . come on . what 's positive about your mom drugging you and rendering you useless for a couple decades ? silas : i know . i 'm soy . nina : i 'm having a hard time . um , you know , one minute , i was happily married with a baby on the way , and then , the next , everything was gone . i lost our baby . and to make matters worse , when i woke up , your mistress ... had your baby instead . ava : i read in the paper that nina clay was alive . i just did n't realize that she 'd be staying in town , let alone silas ' apartment . kiki : yeah , i guess she had nowhere to stay , or no money , either . i do n't really know the story , but it seems complicated . ava : yes , i 'd imagine . how 's my niece taking it ? kiki : you can not be enjoying this . ava : i 'm just asking . kiki : sam and silas broke up . ava : [ chuckles ] kiki : do n't -- ava : it 's tragic ! kiki : there were a lot of contributing factors . from what silas said , sam thought that nina was trying to undermine them . ava : you 're not saying ... silas and nina , they 're not -- they 're not together now , are they ? kiki : oh , not that i know of , but from what i can tell , if nina had it her way , they would be . nina : maybe i was naive . but before my mom told me about you and ava , i just ... i thought my life was perfect . i thought we were perfect . close to it . kind of perfect . i was doing so well at that time , remember ? i was so happy . and i had this little secret . i was so excited to tell you that you were gon na be a daddy . do you want to know how i was going to tell you ? i 'm gon na tell you . so , i was gon na make this great dinner , and we were gon na sit down , and i put the napkin on your lap , and then you 'd pull it up , and then a rattle would fall out ..... up , and then a rattle would fall out . and not ...

i 'm helping gabi and the baby financially . how am i supposed to do that if i 'm unemployed ? kate : gabi and the baby are going to be fine because i 'm going to see to it that they are . and frankly , i think they 'll be a hell of a lot better off without you in their life . nick : you 're just doing this because of what i did to will . you spiteful bitch . kate : yes , that 's exactly what i am . and you would be wise to remember that if you ever decide to screw with my family again . maggie : i do n't mean to jump to conclusions . i mean , it could have been a coincidence that jj was in the hospital parking lot . daniel : no , but there have been a lot of coincidences when it comes to this kid . jennifer does n't see it that way . she just defends him . maggie : he 's her baby . now you have to understand , daniel , jj 's going through a very rough time . daniel : okay , i do understand . oh , i do , and i 've tried to give him a chance , mom . maggie : okay , just think how vulnerable he is right now , daniel . i mean , my god . it has n't even been a year since he lost his father . daniel : no . you 're right . and i do feel for him and abigail and jennifer , but i just -- i do n't know how much longer i can look away . maggie : well , then you 're gon na have to find a way to get to the truth and deal with it and somehow not let it come between you and jenn . daniel : i know and i do n't want it to . maggie : well , then do n't let it . you 're gon na have to work this out , daniel . sooner rather than later . jj : i know how that sounded , but that 's not what i meant . jennifer : okay , well , what did you mean ?

what 's going on with abigail ? jj : well , i 'm not sure i should be blabbing about this , but , um , i saw her at the hospital earlier , and she was really freaked . i asked her what was wrong , but she would n't tell me . she only wanted to talk to cameron . jennifer : well , she left me a couple message earlier . in the first one , she sounded upset , but the second one she said to just forget about it and she was okay . and i called her back and left a message , and i have n't heard back from her . jj : okay , well , i guess whatever it was cameron helped her with it . jennifer : okay . yeah , and i can talk to her later when she gets home . so i 'm glad you told me . i appreciate your concern for your sister . jj : i mean , we got ta look out for each other , right ? i figure if the three of us stay tight , we really do n't need anyone else . eric : your voice is very familiar to me . kristen : well , i do not know you , so please just leave me alone . george : father , i 'm not sure she wants anyone 's help . the lady is in mourning , inconsolable . eric : oh , right . well , i only came down because my phone in my room is n't working . george : oh , i 'm sorry . eric : yeah , my cell phone is dead , and i forgot the charger at home . george : i see . would you like to use the hotel phone then ? eric : yeah , that 'd be great , if you do n't mind . i just need to call my sister in salem . george : of course . the phone 's in the back , if you 'll just follow me . eric : of course . nicole : wait a minute , you -- you want to move away with me ? is that what you 're saying ? brady : move away ? oh , my god , why , is that what you thought i meant ? nicole : yeah , pretty much . brady : no , i meant , like , let 's get away for a couple days . let 's go on vacation somewhere . you know , somewhere where we can have moments like these where we do n't have to worry about running into people we do n't want to run into . nicole : mm - hmm , mm - hmm . brady : i would n't mind putting some space between me and my dad actually . nicole : and kristen ? brady : it 's got nothing to do with her . nicole : okay . well , where would you wan na go ? brady : anywhere your little heart desires . nicole : oh , yeah ? brady : yeah , i could have the titan jet fueled up . we could be out of here in the morning . nicole : oh , wait , wait , wait , wait . did n't you promise your brother that you would keep an eye on sami while he was out of town ? brady : yeah , i mean , but there 's nothing i can do for her right now . i ca n't help her right now . and if she needs my help , we will fly right back . nicole : oh , yes , the advantages of having a private jet . brady : yeah . what do you say , are you in ? wan na do it ? nicole : yeah , you know , i could really use a vacation . brady : mm - hmm . you 're not worried about eric not giving you the time off , are you ? nicole : no . besides , he 's out of town obviously . brady : but when he gets back , is he gon na need you then ?

martha : certainly , miss taylor . enjoy your stay . kristen : fantastic . merci . nick : you ca n't fire me . kate : and why not ? nick : because i have a contract . kate : that 's true . you do . a valid contract . nick : so then how are you gon na fire me ? kate : well , you see , our security people along with the i.t . department confirmed that our computer system was never breached and you 're the only one who ever had the whole formula . so whether it was deliberate or accidental , you blew it . nick : no . kate : breach of contract . nick : no . look , kate , i - i need to keep this job , okay ? i 'm helping gabi and the baby financially . how am i supposed to do that if i 'm unemployed ? kate : gabi and the baby are going to be fine because i 'm going to see to it that they are . and frankly , i think they 'll be a hell of a lot better off without you in their life . nick : you 're just doing this because of what i did to will . you spiteful bitch . kate : yes , that 's exactly what i am . and you would be wise to remember that if you ever decide to screw with my family again . maggie : i do n't mean to jump to conclusions . i mean , it could have been a coincidence that jj was in the hospital parking lot . daniel : no , but there have been a lot of coincidences when it comes to this kid . jennifer does n't see it that way . she just defends him . maggie : he 's her baby . now you have to understand , daniel , jj 's going through a very rough time . daniel : okay , i do understand . oh , i do , and i 've tried to give him a chance , mom . maggie : okay , just think how vulnerable he is right now , daniel . i mean , my god . it has n't even been a year since he lost his father . daniel : no . you 're right . and i do feel for him and abigail and jennifer , but i just -- i do n't know how much longer i can look away . maggie : well , then you 're gon na have to find a way to get to the truth and deal with it and somehow not let it come between you and jenn . daniel : i know and i do n't want it to . maggie : well , then do n't let it . you 're gon na have to work this out , daniel . sooner rather than later . jj : i know how that sounded , but that 's not what i meant . jennifer : okay , well , what did you mean ? jj : just that family is really important . oh , and by the way , i went to see daniel again to apologize about the thing with parker . jennifer : uh , yeah , i - i heard . jj : what ? jennifer : i was there . i - i was in the bedroom and i heard you apologize to daniel and i 'm really proud of you for that . jj : okay , so you were at his place . does that mean you guys are n't fighting anymore ? that things are okay now ? jennifer : you know what , we are working on it . jj : okay , well -- well , good luck . i hope it all goes the way you want it to . jennifer : good . thank you . jj : well , rory 's been waiting a while . i should probably go . jennifer : well , i mean , how late is the library open ? jj : uh , i do n't know . late though . if abigail gets home before i do , will you please tell her to text me so that i know she 's okay ? jennifer : well , you know what , why do n't you text her and ask her that ? because i 'm going out too . jj : oh , to see daniel ? jennifer : uh , no . when i was visiting hope , uh , i thought of someone else that i really need to check in on and i do n't wan na put it off any longer . brady : what do you say ? nicole : hmm . brady : so are you in ? are we doing this ? nicole : okay , all right , yes . yes , i am definitely in . okay . brady : all right . nicole : i could use a break from reality . it 's just that there 's -- there 's one -- one thing that i would like to talk about . brady : okay . what is it ?

brooke : [ laughs ] that 's what i 'm saying . bill : [ chuckles ] hmm . brooke : what ? bill : that was good . it was very clever , the way you did that -- deflected my question , made the conversation about me instead of you . but my spencey sense is telling me that something is bothering you , brooke . is it ridge ? did he do something again ? bill : all right . you do n't have to tell me if you do n't want to . but if you need a sounding board , i 'm here . brooke : well , it is about ridge . in a roundabout way . it 's through his son . bill : his son ?

xander : yeah , she works here . and she overheard zoe and me arguing about it . zoe : as you can imagine , she was horrified when she found out beth is alive and well over at steffy 's . okay , emma left here on a mission to tell hope the truth . flo : oh , my god . that 's it , then . zoe : not if thomas finds her first . hope : thomas ! what are you doing here ?

i have to believe that thomas will find a way to keep emma quiet . bill : thomas has intentions toward hope ? i thought that burned itself out years ago . brooke : it was never much of a flame for hope . even then , she was still in love with liam . so thomas moved on . but then he came back with an adorable little boy who had lost his mother . and hope was in a lot of pain because she lost her daughter . and , you know , she pushed liam away . bill : so you think thomas is using the current situation to get close to hope ? brooke : i think he 's taking advantage of her broken heart . i mean , he 's practically throwing douglas at her . and of course she 's gon na be vulnerable to him . he lost his mother . and thomas , i think , is gon na put on the pressure even harder now that she 's not married to liam . bill : so thomas wants hope for himself . brooke : he has n't been very subtle about it . he told me how much he loves her . bill : do you think he influenced hope 's decision to annul her marriage to liam ? brooke : well , she was thinking about it anyway . yeah , i do think that he helped validate that decision . bill : so , thomas is actively working against my son 's best interests . brooke : when it comes to hope , i would say yes . bill : well , that must make things awkward around the dinner table . brooke : [ sighs ] i have to be very careful what i say to ridge and how i say it . i 'm really worried , bill . i do n't like this at all . i think that thomas is pushing too hard and moving way too quickly , and i just do n't trust his so- called `` love `` for my daughter . hope : heh ... where did you come from ? thomas : well , i thought you heard me knock . i could have sworn you said , `` come in . `` hope : no . thomas : sorry . hope : uh , no . it 's fine . it just [ chuckles ] took me by surprise , that 's all . thomas : have i told you lately how amazing you are ?

[ chuckles quietly ] i 'm really proud of the decisions you 've been making . hope : well , i 'm trying . thomas : that 's what makes it more remarkable . you could be sitting in a corner , staring at a wall , and no one would blame you after what you 've been through with beth . it 's awful . unimaginable . but you 've been pushing your life forward . making the right decisions . and not just for douglas , kelly , and phoebe , but for yourself . i mean , you ... [ sighs ] you told liam to go be with steffy and the girls , and -- and that was a painful but necessary step , and you took it . hope : it 's for the girls . they deserve to have a full - time father . thomas : and , uh , douglas deserves to have a full - time mother . the three of us could be happy . if you 'll have us . and i 'll wait . and while i 'm waiting , i -- [ sighs ] i 'll protect that dream with everything i am . and i wo n't let anything or anyone get in the way of it , okay ? i promise you . i wanted more from brooke : ridge is n't exactly objective when it comes to thomas . bill : well , who is when it 's their own kid ? brooke : he just sees thomas the way he wants to . and if he ca n't , he blames himself or he makes excuses . and thomas complains about his childhood and how unstable it was . but you know what ? he ca n't blame ridge and me forever . he 's got to stand up at some point and become a man . he has a child . he 's got to be responsible for how he acts and who he is as a person . bill : thomas has skated close to the edge more than once . brooke : yes , especially when it comes to rick . he set his house on fire . he blew up his car . thomas took rick , and he threw him through a plate - glass window , for god 's sake ! bill : well , let 's not forget the possibility that he took advantage of caroline back in the day . you 're right to keep an eye on him , brooke . i mean , the fact is , thomas is not a very stable person . and it 's entirely likely that he would take advantage of hope when she 's vulnerable . brooke : thank you for understanding . bill : of course , brooke . you know i 'm always here for you .

thomas : well , i thought you heard me knock . i could have sworn you said , `` come in . `` hope : no . thomas : sorry . hope : uh , no . it 's fine . it just [ chuckles ] took me by surprise , that 's all . thomas : have i told you lately how amazing you are ? hope : me ? [ scoffs ] what did -- what did i do ? thomas : you live , you breathe , you look like that . [ chuckles quietly ] i 'm really proud of the decisions you 've been making . hope : well , i 'm trying . thomas : that 's what makes it more remarkable . you could be sitting in a corner , staring at a wall , and no one would blame you after what you 've been through with beth . it 's awful . unimaginable . but you 've been pushing your life forward . making the right decisions . and not just for douglas , kelly , and phoebe , but for yourself . i mean , you ... [ sighs ] you told liam to go be with steffy and the girls , and -- and that was a painful but necessary step , and you took it . hope : it 's for the girls . they deserve to have a full - time father . thomas : and , uh , douglas deserves to have a full - time mother . the three of us could be happy . if you 'll have us . and i 'll wait . and while i 'm waiting , i -- [ sighs ] i 'll protect that dream with everything i am . and i wo n't let anything or anyone get in the way of it , okay ? i promise you . i wanted more from brooke : ridge is n't exactly objective when it comes to thomas . bill : well , who is when it 's their own kid ? brooke : he just sees thomas the way he wants to . and if he ca n't , he blames himself or he makes excuses . and thomas complains about his childhood and how unstable it was . but you know what ? he ca n't blame ridge and me forever . he 's got to stand up at some point and become a man . he has a child . he 's got to be responsible for how he acts and who he is as a person . bill : thomas has skated close to the edge more than once . brooke : yes , especially when it comes to rick . he set his house on fire . he blew up his car . thomas took rick , and he threw him through a plate - glass window , for god 's sake ! bill : well , let 's not forget the possibility that he took advantage of caroline back in the day . you 're right to keep an eye on him , brooke . i mean , the fact is , thomas is not a very stable person . and it 's entirely likely that he would take advantage of hope when she 's vulnerable . brooke : thank you for understanding . bill : of course , brooke . you know i 'm always here for you . [ cellphone rings ] what 's up , justin ? you get a better dinner offer ? justin : yeah , man . i , uh -- this -- it 's something -- look , i ca -- i ca n't even talk right now , uh ... bill : what is it , justin ? what happened ? justin : got a call . [ sniffles ] from my sister . e - emma 's mom . she said the police notified her , and , uh ... bill : the police ? justin : yeah . there was an accident on mulholland , near brooke 's ... emma 's car went off the road .

[ sniffles ] you -- you must go . but i 'll -- hope . what about hope ? she 's had so many losses in her life . she 's gon na be devastated . oh , god . poor emma . [ sighs ] thomas : i 'm not fooling myself . i know convincing you to have a life with douglas and me , that 'll -- that 'll take time . okay , but i 've got plenty . and while we 're in a holding pattern , someone has to think about our future . and , well , you ca n't see it yet . so that has to be me , too . but i 'm wiling to take that job . hope : thomas -- thomas : i know i 'm right . and not everyone 's gon na be behind us . i know that your -- your mother won't . she 's got some issues with me right now . hope : oh , that 's -- that 's not true . thomas : it does n't matter . i 'll win her over . and i 'll win over anyone else who thinks differently . just trust and believe that -- that everything i 'm doing , i 'm doing with your best interests in mind . flo : [ sighs ] i ca n't take it anymore . this waiting is driving me crazy . xander : there 's no suspense here . i mean , the way emma left , so determined to tell hope . there 's only one way this ends up . zoe : not if thomas finds a way to stop her . xander : [ scoffs ] flo : pam . what 's wrong ? pam : i - i just got off the phone with brooke , and ... she wants me to tell everyone ... i ca n't even believe that i 'm about to say this . zoe : pam , what ? pam : there 's been a terrible accident . emma is dead . to most , he 's phil mickelson pro golfer . xander : emma 's dead ? zoe : wait , how can this be ? flo : what happened ? pam : all i know is that her car went off the side of mulholland . and by the time the paramedics got there , there was just nothing anyone could do . this is insane ! she was just here , looking for hope . i told her that -- that hope was going home from steffy 's . and then , the last time i saw emma , she and thomas were together . zoe : wait , they were ? pam : yeah . which is strange . xander : what ? what ? what was strange ? pam : i walked into the c.e.o . office , and thomas was clearly upset about something . it was very tense . xander : did emma say anything ? pam : no . she -- she left so quickly . she was such a sweet and good person , and she was so young . i know that she was your really good friend , so i wanted to tell you first . i 'm so sorry to bring you this awful news . xander : what , so no one else is gon na say it ? [ scoffs ] okay . emma was determined to tell hope the truth about beth . thomas was just as determined to stop her . clearly , whether pam recognized it or not , she saw a heated moment between them , and then suddenly ... conveniently , emma 's just ... dead ? and where the hell is thomas , anyway ? zoe : xander , what are you saying ? flo : so you think it was thomas ? you think thomas killed emma ? thomas : i meant what i said . never forget that everything i 'm doing , i 'm doing for you . your happiness . our future . hope : thomas , i -- [ cellphone rings ] it 's mom . hey . brooke : hi , honey . [ sighs ] you need to brace yourself . i have some really terrible news . hope : what happened , mom ? you 're scaring me . brooke : i was sitting here with bill -- he left -- and -- and justin called him and -- and told him ... hope : mom , tell me . brooke : a car went off mulholland drive near our house , and it was -- it was emma 's . hope : oh , my god . brooke : i 'm sorry , honey , but she did n't make it . she 's dead . hope : no . no , that ca n't be . [ sinister music plays ] brooke : i know this is gon na be hard for you because you 've had a lot of losses lately , but i want to make sure that you 're okay . and i - i did n't want you to find out from some kind of notification . hope : thank you for telling me . thomas : hope ? hope : it 's emma . thomas : wh - what -- what happened ? hope : she 's gone . thomas : she 's gone where ? hope : dead . emma 's dead . thomas : [ stammers ] how ? hope : her car went off the road on mulholland . thomas : [ sighs ] well , that 's -- that 's terrible . hope : i ca n't believe it . she had her whole life in front of her , and ...

[ scene_break ] alexis : your honor , i object . judge carroll : ms. davis , this woman is not an attorney . she has no standing before this court , so how can you object ? carly : i guarantee you , sir , that what i have to say is vital to these proceedings . judge carroll : i 'd like to hear this . lulu : can he do that ? dante : he 's the judge . he can do whatever he wants . alexis : your honor , this is an arraignment . she ca n't just walk in here off the street and start saying -- judge carroll : ms. davis , i am the judge in charge of this trial . this is my courtroom , and i decide who speaks and who does n't . proceed . state your name for the record . carly : carly jacks , mrs. jasper jacks , formerly mrs. sonny corinthos . sonny is the father of my 2 children , and i 'm now married to jasper jacks , and we have a wonderful life , and we have a beautiful baby girl , and i wish that i could say things were amicable , but they 're not . sonny and jax have hated each other for years , and for some reason , now jax has this idea in his head that the only way he can keep our family safe is if sonny 's in prison . judge carroll : are you saying that mr. jacks falsified evidence ? carly : no . no , it 's nothing like that . i 'm saying that jax is very rich and powerful , and lots of people are anxious to impress him . judge carroll : if you 're suggesting that i might be swayed by your husband 's wealth , power , or status , i can assure you i am not . carly : no , i 'm not talking about you . i am talking about a lot of other people , starting with the police , all the way -- claire : your honor , if i may interject , mrs. jacks ' statement has nothing whatsoever to do with the proceedings . judge carroll : no , you may not interject . however , i agree with the prosecutor . thank you , mrs. jacks , for your obviously heartfelt statement , but the matter at hand is whether or not mr. corinthos should be out on bail . before i announce my decision , i would like to hear from mr. corinthos himself .

[ scene_break ] judge carroll : before i announce my ruling on mr. corinthos ' bail , i must address the matter of mrs. jacks ' courtroom theatrics . the fact that i allowed you to speak is not to be construed as tacit approval for your conduct . as for co - counsel for the defense , using this courtroom to work out your personal business will not be tolerated . get your act together before trial , or one of you goes . now , ms. walsh has argued quite compellingly that mr. corinthos ' resources make him a flight risk . that said , mr. corinthos has done nothing to violate the terms of his existing bail , and it would be prejudicial to lock him up without cause . michael corinthos jr. , you will remain free on bail . trial is set for 2 weeks from today . court is dismissed . claire : well , you know you guys got lucky this time . yeah . alexis : it 's called due process . claire : you know , i found this arraignment to be very educational . thanks for that . it will help me prepare for the trial .

[ laughs ] [ sighs ] i - i did n't think any of this was gon na happen or it was gon na come . so -- and , you know , i think i wrote a pretty good ending , but it 's , uh , it 's all over the floor right now , so ... i 'm just gon na say this . i love you , abby newman . and i will always love you for the rest of my life . those who god has joined together , let no one put asunder . you are now husband and wife . abby : [ laughs ] [ applause ] [ guests cheering ] stitch : oh , all right . you ready to catch a plane , start our honeymoon ? abby : what are you ? some kind of barbarian ? stitch : what ? abby : do n't you know how weddings work ? toast - toast , hug - hug , cake - cake . stitch : [ groans ] abby : we ca n't leave now . stitch : why not ? come on . traci : uh - oh . uh - oh . stitch : yo . traci : is he trying to steal you away ? stitch : uh ... guilty .

[ laughter ] sharon : because marriage is so dangerous ? is that what you 're saying ? dylan : no , that 's not what i was saying ! i 'm just , you know , i mean -- stitch : no , no , not at all . he 's just saying i 'm his hero . dylan : that 's right . stitch , you saved the day again , buddy . thank you . [ glass clinking ] victoria : hi , everyone . i know what a good man ben is . and i know how well abby and ben work together . somehow they figured it out . but that kindness and that love and that willingness to give , it ca n't end today . and if you can protect that love and if you can nurture that love ... if you can do the work ... if you can do the work ... chelsea : then you can and will have the life that you two deserve together . so , to stitch and abby . all : to stitch and abby . billy : [ grunts ] gil : [ laughs ] what is it with emojis ? grown men sending smiley faces . billy : [ wheezing ] [ grunts , coughs ] gil : okay . that should do it . what the hell ? i told you not the face ! billy : [ grunts ] gil : sorry , abbott . bit of a miscommunication . but you got the point , right ? billy : [ breathing heavily ] gil : okay . see you tomorrow ... with my money . billy : [ coughing ] [ groans ] michael : ladies and gentlemen , your attention , please ! i would like to present to you something also new . dr. and mrs. benjamin rayburn . give it up !

[ sighs ] victoria : okay . that 's fine . i mean , it can be small . you know what ? we can have it right here in the hospital chapel . that 's probably for the best -- something small and intimate before she 's discharged . nick : it 's awfully soon . vick , i do n't know what 's right . victoria : no right or wrong in these situations . it 's so overwhelming . [ sighs ] why do n't you just let me help you and sage through this phase of it and then you can heal at your own pace ? nick : i guess if all this was done when we left the hospital ... when we got home , we could ... begin to try and move forward . victoria : you want me to get started ? nick : yeah . i 'll talk to sage . victoria : if there 's anything else i can do for you ... nick : there is n't anything anyone can do . dr. anderson : i understand you 're upset about what happened to your aunt . dylan : yeah , i am upset . and my father 's devastated . dr. anderson : look , patty was a very troubled person . she was suffering from a number of psychiatric issues . dylan : yeah , but she was getting better . that 's why they transferred her from the prison psych ward . dr. anderson : well , yes . she was improving . but then she began to resist treatment , refusing to participate in therapy sessions , take her meds . she became very combative . i mean , it 's the complete opposite of sharon . dylan : i know sharon is n't anywhere near as sick as patty was . dr. anderson : sharon is committed to getting better . and she is . dylan : good . then let me see her . dr. anderson : look , i have to respect my patients ' wishes . sharon does not want any visitors . dylan : i want to hear that from sharon . neil : hey , gwen , unh - unh . hilary 's not in love with me . gwen : somebody should tell her that . neil : i have . and so has devon . gwen : yet she still insists that she 's mrs. neil winters ... neil : [ sighs heavily ] gwen : ... which i 'm starting to think that you do n't mind . neil : oh , come on . of course i mind . gwen : i keep wondering why you would n't leave with me when we had the chance . neil : do n't you think it would have been suspicious if we 'd have disappeared at the same time hilary turned up ? i know this has n't been easy for you . i never should have involved you in the first place . gwen : i wanted to be involved , neil , because i wanted to prove your innocence so we could be together . neil : that 's the plan . gwen : what about hilary ? how does she fit into our plan ? neil : she does n't . she loves my son . he loves her . if anyone knows that , it 's me . she may have repressed feelings for my son , but they 're gon na come back to her . devon : what exactly do you remember ? hilary : i remember ... kissing you in chancellor park the night before i married neil . devon : yeah , that 's right . even then , you knew that you were in love with me . hilary : no . kissing you was a mistake . that 's why i married neil , okay ? i love neil . whatever i felt for you i just some brief infatuation . devon : no . hilary , what you and i have ... is very , very real . you love me , and i love you . hilary : you keep saying that , and so does neil , so i guess i have to accept it , but i do n't feel anything for you , devon . i 'm sorry . i love neil . devon : listen , i , uh -- i know that this is a lot for you to take in , so ... you just need to take as much time as you need to digest it . i know that your memory 's gon na come back to you . maybe if you get out of here and you spend some time with me , it might help with -- hilary : if you think i 'm gon na go home with you ... just [ sighs ] forget it . devon : well , where are you gon na stay ? hilary : i do n't know , okay ? i 'll figure it out . devon : i 'm not gon na let you figure anything out . at least just stay at the athletic club . i 'll give you your own suite -- no strings . hilary : that 's very generous of you . i 'll think about it . okay . right now , i just -- i need to ... rest . devon : all right . i 'll go . um ... but , hilary , just please know that everything that i 'm telling you about the love that we share and -- and the life that we planned to have together -- just ... it 's true . hilary : i know , okay ? i know that it might be true , but i ca n't pretend that everything is the way that it used to be just because you want me to . devon : yeah , i understand that . but you need to know that i 'm never gon na give up on believing that we 're gon na get back what we used to have . okay ? 'cause i believe in us . i believe in these . dr. anderson : look how soundly she 's sleeping . dylan : yeah . she does look peaceful . the last few months , she 's been tossing and turning all night . dr. anderson : mm . well , the pregnancy 's been very taxing on her . that 's why it 's important we let her rest and not be disturbed . also , i have a little something that might put your mind at ease . dylan : what ? dr. anderson : our staff ob - gyn ran a sonogram . dylan : what ? what i -- is -- is the baby okay ? dr. anderson : yeah . heartbeat 's normal . the weight is good . the organs are developing . everything looks great . dylan : wow . look at that . [ chuckles softly ] little fingers . little face . man , this is really happening . dr. anderson : [ chuckles ] there 's no turning back now . dylan : thank you ... for showing me that . i just -- i wish i could have been here for it . dr. anderson : dylan , i know this is n't the ideal way to experience sharon 's pregnancy , but do n't let that diminish your happiness over this child . dylan : nah , nothing -- nothing could do that . dr. anderson : do you want to know the sex of the baby ? dylan : uh ... only if -- if sharon -- if sharon wants to . dr. anderson : okay . well , i 'll ask her , and i 'll let you know . dylan : okay . dr. anderson : now if you 'll excuse me -- dylan : okay . yeah . just , um -- just one more thing . dr. anderson : oh , i 'm sorry . i really have to be going . dylan : no , i know , but it 's only gon na take a second . right -- uh , right before patty died , she told jack abbott that she had to warn me . dr. anderson : warn you ? about what ? dylan : well , uh , i do n't know . but she risked everything to tell me that i could n't trust somebody . her exact words were , `` he ca n't trust her . `` so , why was it so important for patty to give me that message ? who does she mean by `` her `` ? i mean , come on . you 're her doctor . you have to have some insight into what she was talking about . dr. anderson : you 're right . i do . dylan , there are some things you need to know . sage : nick . nick : hey . how you feeling ? sage : i just had the worst nightmare . please ... [ voice breaking ] tell me that 's what it was -- just a bad dream . nick : [ sniffles ] sage : [ crying ] no . no , no , no ! no ! do n't say it ! nick : he 's gone . sage : no . no . nick : our little boy 's gone . sage : [ crying ] billy : you talk to your parents ? victoria : yeah . they 're worried about nick and sage ... and about what 's gon na happen with newman enterprises . billy : and , speaking of that , have you heard an assessment from the building inspector ? victoria : not yet , but dad is convinced that it 's sound . billy : of course he is . victoria : it 's gon na be a while before we 're back on track , and even then it might be too late . newman 's already in financial shambles because of paragon . i do n't know how we 're gon na salvage things . billy : well , you 're in luck . i might have an idea how to fix that . victoria : you do ? billy : yeah . william abbott to the rescue , which , ironically , might also be the problem and the solution . dr. anderson : i - it makes perfect sense . dylan : what does ? dr. anderson : well , patty 's feelings about sharon . i did n't think much of it . we have problems with patients not getting along all the time . dylan : what , patty had a problem with sharon ? dr. anderson : patty was paranoid and delusional . she kept insisting that sharon was the enemy . dylan : so , you think patty was trying to warn me about sharon ? dr. anderson : patty has a history of obsessive behavior . sharon had become the object of her latest obsession . dylan : and you 're just telling me this now ? dr. anderson : i was bound by doctor / patient confidentiality . dylan : [ sighs ] dr. anderson : look , we did the best we could to keep the two women apart . we even put patty in isolation . dylan : yeah , well , a lot of good that did . dr. anderson : listen , what happened to patty was tragic , but she was n't able to harm sharon or anyone else . dylan : well , does sharon know about what happened last night -- the fire , with patty ? dr. anderson : i - i think it 's best that we keep it from her for now . dylan : yes . knowing sharon , she 'd probably blame herself for patty 's death . but i still want to talk to her . dr. anderson : i 'll see what i can do . dylan : no , just -- just make it happen , okay ? or i will . dr. anderson : [ sighs ] ashley : hey . abby : hi ! hi ! ben 's awake . ashley : oh , that 's amazing ! abby : i know , right ? ashley : yeah ! abby : the doctor 's in with him now . ashley : how did he seem ? abby : really good , you know , considering . ashley : yeah . i know you were so worried . abby : i was , yeah . i was afraid he was n't gon na wake up , and now that he has , i 'm just so grateful and relieved and so happy . i want to , like , yell off of a rooftop . ashley : what 's wrong ? abby : i just realize that not everyone 's as fortunate as me -- paul lost his sister , nick and sage and what they 're going through , and dad with newman . ashley : you ca n't feel guilty about that , honey . i think everybody 's gon na be so thrilled that ben is okay . abby : yeah . i just -- i feel bad for everyone else . ashley : well , at times like this , you just have to be grateful for your good fortune , you know ? and just do whatever you can for those who are suffering . abby : [ sighs ] victoria : okay . so , that 's your plan ? all of us -- the newmans and the abbotts , together in one building ? billy : we 're not talking about another merger here -- just , you know , sharing office space . victoria : i do n't know , billy . billy : newman enterprises occupies multiple floors themselves . that way your dad and i would never see each other . i mean , hell , the newmans and the abbotts probably would n't even cross paths . but the close proximity would allow for us to work together to try and eliminate the paragon threat . victoria : it 's a generous offer , and it 's very sweet . billy : and so you accept ? victoria : you know i would accept in a heartbeat , but you also know that it 's not my decision . billy : i know . we got to go through snidely . victoria : and dad does n't like accepting help from anyone , especially not the abbotts . however , if i pitch it to him just right -- billy : actually , i think there 's only one person who could convince your dad to go along with this . victoria : who ? billy : you just keep working on arranging the memorial , and i 'll take care of that . sage : i do n't know how to do it . i ca n't imagine living without our son . i ca n't do it . nick : we just have to . you got to take it one step at a time . sage : it hurts to breathe . nick : i know . but we 're gon na get through this . sage : how ? nick : together . that 's the only way . the first thing we got to do is a memorial . sage : what ? a - a memorial ? you want me to make plans to bury our son ? nick : no . no . vick will take care of everything . you do n't have to do anything . sage : our son has not been gone one day ... and you 're ready to say goodbye ? nick : sage , we need to do this . sage : i do n't want to talk about this , nick ! i do n't want to talk about funerals and arrangements ! what the hell is wrong with you ? ! why is victoria pushing this ? ! nick : because she wants to help . sage : i do n't want her help ! nick : look ... we do n't have to decide anything right now , okay ? it 's -- it 's okay . listen ... i 'm gon na let the nurse check you out . i 'll be right outside . sage : i 'm sorry . nick : it 's okay . it 's okay . sage : i - i ca n't do it . i ca n't do this . please , not yet . nick : i understand . sage : i 'm sorry . nick : no , it 's okay . just get some rest , okay ? we 'll -- we 'll talk later . okay . it 's okay . i 'll be right outside . ashley : abby told me you 're awake . stitch : ashley ... ashley : i just wanted to thank you -- you know , for saving my life , probably more than once . stitch : why 'd you lie to abby about what i told you last night ? ashley : i thought we were gon na die . a lot of things were said that we did n't mean . stitch : i meant every word i said . ashley : you do n't have to do that . stitch : i love you , ashley . neil : hi . hilary : neil . i was hoping that you 'd pass by . neil : here i am . so , how you feeling ? hilary : mm , better . neil : has your memory started to return at all ? hilary : uh , bits and pieces . but , uh , the doctor gave me some good news . he said i can go home today ... even though i have no idea where that is . neil : well , i 'm sure that devon would like to have you stay with him . hilary : i already told him that i ca n't move in with him . neil : you could stay with me until you , you know , figure things out -- where you want to go . hilary : that 's really nice of you , but i heard that you 're seeing someone . neil : yeah . gwen . uh , we 've been seeing each other for a while now . i - i 'm so sorry . i did n't mean to hurt you at a time like this . hilary : no . no . i - i know you would never do that . just ... i do n't know how we got to this place . how could i betray you the way that you said that i did ? neil : i know it 's hard for you to accept this reality right now . hilary : but ... i have no choice ? is that what you 're trying to say ? devon : it 's a little early for that , huh ? gwen : but it 's not too early to nag me about it ? devon : i do n't mean to nag you . i 'm just ... trying to help . gwen : i got al the help i need . thanks . devon : believe me , i 'm thinking about joining you , 'cause i just got back from seeing hilary at the hospital . gwen : is she still living in an alternate universe ? devon : yeah . i tried to tell her how much i love her , but she does n't want to hear ... that or anything i have to say . all she can think about is neil and how much she loves him . it 's like their marriage never ended . gwen : well , it did . and she 's gon na have to deal with that . devon : it must be so weird for neil , having loved her as much as he did , and now hilary wants things to go back to the way they were , like when they first got married . gwen : they ca n't . she does n't get to have him back -- not after what neil and i went through to make sure she got home to you . sharon : what are you doing ? dylan : i 'm sorry , man . nick : thanks . dylan : is there anything i can do for you ? nick : yeah . we can talk about something else . dylan : uh , okay . nick : how 's sharon ? dylan : uh , actually , i just came from fairview , and she was sleeping . i did n't really get to talk to her , but she looked , uh -- she looked good -- better than i thought she would . she 's -- she 's really starting to show , and i got to see the ultrasound -- sorry . nick : no , do n't , you know ? you 're , uh -- [ sighs ] you 're gon na be a dad . you should be excited . dylan : in that case , uh , everything 's -- everything 's good . nick : i 'm glad . dylan : you know , i did n't -- i did n't tell sharon . i was n't sure how she 'd react , so ... nick : yeah , that 's a good call . sharon should n't get upset at this stage of her pregnancy . sharon : what were you doing just now ? dr. anderson : i was , uh , putting the blanket back on . you kicked it off . i did n't want you and the baby to get a chill . sharon : oh . thank you . dr. anderson : i noticed it earlier when dylan was checking in on you . sharon : dylan was here ? dr. anderson : yeah , he was here . we talked . you know , something that came up was that he did n't want to know the sex of the baby unless you did . sharon : i definitely want to know . dr. anderson : well , then i 'll tell you , and you can share the news with dylan . sharon : you think i should see him ? dr. anderson : it 's time . and what better topic for you to discuss than your baby ? sharon : so , tell me ... what am i having -- a boy or a girl ? sage : why are you here , reverend ? reverend wilkins : i 'm so sorry for your loss , sage . i know this is diff -- sage : have you ever lost a child ? reverend wilkins : no . sage : then you have no idea how difficult this is for me . do n't tell me to feel better . i do n't want to feel better . i want you to leave my room . get out ! nick : what 's -- what 's going on ? reverend wilkins : i - i did n't mean to upset your wife . victoria asked me to perform your son 's memorial today . sage : what ? ! nick , today ? ! you want me to bury my son today ? ! ashley : we shared a very traumatic experience . it was very confusing . stitch : i am not traumatized or confused . i know exactly how i feel . i love you . ashley : just stop saying that . that 's not real . you love abby . and she loves you . so , you ca n't be in love with me . stitch : why not ? ashley : i know how happy you make each other , and you 're gon na have a long and happy life together . stitch : i want to be with you , and i know you want to be with me . ashley : you 're gon na forget everything that happened between us . stitch : can you do that ? ashley : yes . and so can you . devon : what exactly do you mean , everything you had to go through with neil to make sure hilary got back safe to me ? gwen : i 'm just frustrated . that 's all . and i 've had -- i 've had too many of these . devon : right , but that does n't exactly explain what you meant . gwen : it 's just ... neil spent so much energy trying to help you , and he was consumed by the search for hilary , and he was just worried sick about what would turn out , and ... that 's all . devon : okay . so , now that she 's back , everything should be fine , right ? gwen : yeah . it should . but listen to me , devon . do n't give up , okay ? keep fighting for your wife . neil : so , you should get some rest . hilary : do you have to leave ? neil : yeah . um , i 'll check back later , okay ? and if you should decide to go to the club ... i 'll help you get settled in to your suite , all right ? hilary : okay . thanks . neil : yeah .

[ chuckles ] is this too much for you ? stitch : no , no . its , uh ... it 's gon na be great . it 's -- it 's great . it 's gon na be great . abby : yay ! sharon : hi ! dylan : hey . it 's good to see you . i wish it was in person , but i guess i 'll , uh -- i guess i 'll have to settle for this . sharon : i could n't wait to tell you my news . dylan : well , i want to hear it , but i want to know how you 're feeling first . sharon : i feel ... better . rested . dylan : that 's good . i 'm glad to hear that . sharon : dr. anderson told me you saw the sonogram . dylan : [ chuckling ] yeah . it was -- it was amazing . sharon : that 's why i 'm calling , dylan . we 're having a boy . dylan : uh ... a boy ? well , that 's -- i - i ca n't believe we 're having -- we 're having a boy . sharon : is n't that exciting ? dylan : yeah , it is . it 's exciting . it 's incredible . sharon : well , i wanted to give you the news myself and to let you know that your son and i are doing fine and there 's nothing for you to worry about . dylan : sharon is somebody there with you ? sharon : no . i 'm alone . dylan : okay . you seem a little distracted . sharon : i 'm sorry . you have my full attention . dylan : are you sure everything 's okay ? sharon : yes . it 's fine -- perfectly fine . nick : i did n't know vick had gotten in touch with reverend -- sage : do n't blame victoria ! you just told me that you wanted to go ahead with the memorial ! nick : i also said that -- that we did n't have to make any final decisions . sage : which means that you decide and i go along with what you want ! nick : no . sage : but that 's how it always is , nick , because i did n't want to go to the party last night , and you convinced me to go , and i left christian , and he died alone , without his mommy , and now you 're rushing to bury our son ? ! nick : [ voice breaking ] i would never want that . sage : well , i 'm sure you 're glad about that , though , right ? then you wo n't have to be married to me anymore . you can go on with your life without you . nick : that 's not what i want . sage : yes , it is . well , you got your wish , did n't you ? so go . get out ! leave me alone ! ! nick , i -- nick ! come back !

[ laughs ] oh , my god . oh , my god . you 're -- you 're awake . stitch : [ exhales sharply ] abby : i 've been waiting all night for you to open your eyes , and ... now you have . oh , my god . um ... i - i have so much to tell you . i - i do n't even know where to start . um ... we 're all okay . i 'm okay . i look terrible , i 'm sure , but i 'm okay , and my mom -- she 's okay . we 're all okay . stitch : abby , i , uh -- i have something i have to tell you . om victoria : oh . hey . i brought you some coffee . nick : thanks . victoria : can i get you anything else ? you want some breakfast ? nick : no . victoria : i wish there was something i could do for you . have you talked to sage ? nick : she 's asleep . they gave her a sedative . she 's been out all night ... which is good , you know , since ... christian died . victoria : nick ... nick : i really need to start thinking about some ... arrangements . victoria : i 'll handle everything for you . dr. anderson : [ gasps ] dylan . what are you doing here ? dylan : what do you mean ? i 've been calling you all morning . i left a dozen messages telling you that i 'm coming to see sharon . dr. anderson : well , i 've been seeing patients all day . dylan : okay . well , i 'm here , and i 'd like to see my fiancée . dr. anderson : nothing 's changed . sharon still does n't want to see visitors . dylan : look , i do n't care what sharon said . i need to see her . dr. anderson : well , i 'm afraid my patient 's wishes take precedence over your needs . dylan : okay . just stop , because i have a lot of questions about what 's going on around here , starting with how my fiancée is doing . dr. anderson : i told you . i ca n't dis -- dylan : yeah , and i told you that i need to see for myself . dr. anderson : dylan , i understand your concern -- dylan : no , i do n't really think you do understand my concerns , because i have some serious problems with the standards of this facility . dr. anderson : our patients receive the highest - quality care available . their well - being is our top priority . dylan : yeah ? then how did patty williams escape and end up dead ? ! dr. anderson : we are looking into that . but what happened to patty has nothing to do with sharon or the treatment she 's receiving . dylan : that may be . but i 'm starting to feel like this is the last place sharon should be . abby : here . stitch : abby , i need to tell you -- abby : shh . i know what you 're gon na say . my mom already told me . stitch : she did ? abby : when you were trapped and you thought that you were gon na die , you poured your heart out . stitch : abby , i -- abby : shh . hey . i think it 's sweet how you told my mom how much in love you were with me and how you could n't wait to spend the rest of your life with me . and i ca n't wait for us to get married now more than ever . stitch : [ chuckles softly ] ashley : what exactly are you asking me about ben ? billy : nothing . it just sounded like things got pretty intense when you were trapped together . ashley : well , yeah . we were fighting for our lives . billy : well , we were all fighting for our lives . look , i just got the feeling that it meant more to you , and maybe that 's why you do n't want to talk about it . ashley : i was terrified out of my mind . i never thought i was gon na see my daughter or anybody else that i loved ever again . excuse me if i do n't feel like rehashing the experience . billy : okay . okay . i did n't mean to make you upset . ashley : [ sighs ] let 's just be grateful , okay , that we 're alive , you know ? i mean , ian ward -- he could have killed everybody in that building . billy : i think that 's exactly what he was trying to do . thank god he failed . as of this morning , there 's no evidence that paragon is wreaking any more havoc , so that 's good . ashley : yeah , but why does n't that make me feel any better ? he might be dead . we do n't have any idea what he 's put in motion for the future . billy : well , we 've got our it . guys on high alert . ashley : keep at it , because paragon has cost us too much already . we ca n't afford to lose anything else . victoria : i 'll speak to reverend wilkins , and i 'll arrange everything with him , and the flowers and the music , and i 'll notify everyone . you and sage wo n't have to do anything . nick : [ sighs ] look , i appreciate the help , but ... victoria : what ? nick : ... i just do n't think sage is gon na be up for some big church service . [ sighs ] victoria : okay . that 's fine . i mean , it can be small . you know what ? we can have it right here in the hospital chapel . that 's probably for the best -- something small and intimate before she 's discharged . nick : it 's awfully soon . vick , i do n't know what 's right . victoria : no right or wrong in these situations . it 's so overwhelming . [ sighs ] why do n't you just let me help you and sage through this phase of it and then you can heal at your own pace ? nick : i guess if all this was done when we left the hospital ... when we got home , we could ... begin to try and move forward . victoria : you want me to get started ? nick : yeah . i 'll talk to sage . victoria : if there 's anything else i can do for you ... nick : there is n't anything anyone can do . dr. anderson : i understand you 're upset about what happened to your aunt . dylan : yeah , i am upset . and my father 's devastated . dr. anderson : look , patty was a very troubled person . she was suffering from a number of psychiatric issues . dylan : yeah , but she was getting better . that 's why they transferred her from the prison psych ward . dr. anderson : well , yes . she was improving . but then she began to resist treatment , refusing to participate in therapy sessions , take her meds . she became very combative . i mean , it 's the complete opposite of sharon . dylan : i know sharon is n't anywhere near as sick as patty was . dr. anderson : sharon is committed to getting better . and she is . dylan : good . then let me see her . dr. anderson : look , i have to respect my patients ' wishes . sharon does not want any visitors . dylan : i want to hear that from sharon . neil : hey , gwen , unh - unh . hilary 's not in love with me . gwen : somebody should tell her that . neil : i have . and so has devon . gwen : yet she still insists that she 's mrs. neil winters ... neil : [ sighs heavily ] gwen : ... which i 'm starting to think that you do n't mind . neil : oh , come on . of course i mind . gwen : i keep wondering why you would n't leave with me when we had the chance . neil : do n't you think it would have been suspicious if we 'd have disappeared at the same time hilary turned up ? i know this has n't been easy for you . i never should have involved you in the first place . gwen : i wanted to be involved , neil , because i wanted to prove your innocence so we could be together . neil : that 's the plan . gwen : what about hilary ? how does she fit into our plan ? neil : she does n't . she loves my son . he loves her . if anyone knows that , it 's me . she may have repressed feelings for my son , but they 're gon na come back to her . devon : what exactly do you remember ? hilary : i remember ... kissing you in chancellor park the night before i married neil . devon : yeah , that 's right . even then , you knew that you were in love with me . hilary : no . kissing you was a mistake . that 's why i married neil , okay ? i love neil . whatever i felt for you i just some brief infatuation . devon : no . hilary , what you and i have ... is very , very real . you love me , and i love you . hilary : you keep saying that , and so does neil , so i guess i have to accept it , but i do n't feel anything for you , devon . i 'm sorry . i love neil . devon : listen , i , uh -- i know that this is a lot for you to take in , so ... you just need to take as much time as you need to digest it . i know that your memory 's gon na come back to you . maybe if you get out of here and you spend some time with me , it might help with -- hilary : if you think i 'm gon na go home with you ... just [ sighs ] forget it . devon : well , where are you gon na stay ? hilary : i do n't know , okay ? i 'll figure it out . devon : i 'm not gon na let you figure anything out . at least just stay at the athletic club . i 'll give you your own suite -- no strings . hilary : that 's very generous of you . i 'll think about it . okay . right now , i just -- i need to ... rest . devon : all right . i 'll go . um ... but , hilary , just please know that everything that i 'm telling you about the love that we share and -- and the life that we planned to have together -- just ... it 's true . hilary : i know , okay ? i know that it might be true , but i ca n't pretend that everything is the way that it used to be just because you want me to . devon : yeah , i understand that . but you need to know that i 'm never gon na give up on believing that we 're gon na get back what we used to have . okay ? 'cause i believe in us . i believe in these . dr. anderson : look how soundly she 's sleeping . dylan : yeah . she does look peaceful . the last few months , she 's been tossing and turning all night . dr. anderson : mm . well , the pregnancy 's been very taxing on her . that 's why it 's important we let her rest and not be disturbed . also , i have a little something that might put your mind at ease . dylan : what ? dr. anderson : our staff ob - gyn ran a sonogram . dylan : what ? what i -- is -- is the baby okay ? dr. anderson : yeah . heartbeat 's normal . the weight is good . the organs are developing . everything looks great . dylan : wow . look at that . [ chuckles softly ] little fingers . little face . man , this is really happening . dr. anderson : [ chuckles ] there 's no turning back now . dylan : thank you ... for showing me that . i just -- i wish i could have been here for it . dr. anderson : dylan , i know this is n't the ideal way to experience sharon 's pregnancy , but do n't let that diminish your happiness over this child . dylan : nah , nothing -- nothing could do that . dr. anderson : do you want to know the sex of the baby ? dylan : uh ... only if -- if sharon -- if sharon wants to . dr. anderson : okay . well , i 'll ask her , and i 'll let you know . dylan : okay . dr. anderson : now if you 'll excuse me -- dylan : okay . yeah . just , um -- just one more thing . dr. anderson : oh , i 'm sorry . i really have to be going . dylan : no , i know , but it 's only gon na take a second . right -- uh , right before patty died , she told jack abbott that she had to warn me . dr. anderson : warn you ? about what ? dylan : well , uh , i do n't know . but she risked everything to tell me that i could n't trust somebody . her exact words were , `` he ca n't trust her . `` so , why was it so important for patty to give me that message ? who does she mean by `` her `` ? i mean , come on . you 're her doctor . you have to have some insight into what she was talking about . dr. anderson : you 're right . i do . dylan , there are some things you need to know . sage : nick . nick : hey . how you feeling ? sage : i just had the worst nightmare . please ... [ voice breaking ] tell me that 's what it was -- just a bad dream . nick : [ sniffles ] sage : [ crying ] no . no , no , no ! no ! do n't say it ! nick : he 's gone . sage : no . no . nick : our little boy 's gone . sage : [ crying ] billy : you talk to your parents ? victoria : yeah . they 're worried about nick and sage ... and about what 's gon na happen with newman enterprises . billy : and , speaking of that , have you heard an assessment from the building inspector ? victoria : not yet , but dad is convinced that it 's sound . billy : of course he is . victoria : it 's gon na be a while before we 're back on track , and even then it might be too late . newman 's already in financial shambles because of paragon . i do n't know how we 're gon na salvage things . billy : well , you 're in luck . i might have an idea how to fix that . victoria : you do ? billy : yeah . william abbott to the rescue , which , ironically , might also be the problem and the solution . dr. anderson : i - it makes perfect sense . dylan : what does ? dr. anderson : well , patty 's feelings about sharon . i did n't think much of it . we have problems with patients not getting along all the time . dylan : what , patty had a problem with sharon ? dr. anderson : patty was paranoid and delusional . she kept insisting that sharon was the enemy . dylan : so , you think patty was trying to warn me about sharon ? dr. anderson : patty has a history of obsessive behavior . sharon had become the object of her latest obsession . dylan : and you 're just telling me this now ? dr. anderson : i was bound by doctor / patient confidentiality . dylan : [ sighs ] dr. anderson : look , we did the best we could to keep the two women apart . we even put patty in isolation . dylan : yeah , well , a lot of good that did . dr. anderson : listen , what happened to patty was tragic , but she was n't able to harm sharon or anyone else . dylan : well , does sharon know about what happened last night -- the fire , with patty ? dr. anderson : i - i think it 's best that we keep it from her for now . dylan : yes . knowing sharon , she 'd probably blame herself for patty 's death . but i still want to talk to her . dr. anderson : i 'll see what i can do . dylan : no , just -- just make it happen , okay ? or i will . dr. anderson : [ sighs ] ashley : hey . abby : hi ! hi ! ben 's awake . ashley : oh , that 's amazing ! abby : i know , right ? ashley : yeah ! abby : the doctor 's in with him now . ashley : how did he seem ? abby : really good , you know , considering . ashley : yeah . i know you were so worried . abby : i was , yeah . i was afraid he was n't gon na wake up , and now that he has , i 'm just so grateful and relieved and so happy . i want to , like , yell off of a rooftop . ashley : what 's wrong ? abby : i just realize that not everyone 's as fortunate as me -- paul lost his sister , nick and sage and what they 're going through , and dad with newman . ashley : you ca n't feel guilty about that , honey . i think everybody 's gon na be so thrilled that ben is okay . abby : yeah . i just -- i feel bad for everyone else . ashley : well , at times like this , you just have to be grateful for your good fortune , you know ? and just do whatever you can for those who are suffering . abby : [ sighs ] victoria : okay . so , that 's your plan ? all of us -- the newmans and the abbotts , together in one building ? billy : we 're not talking about another merger here -- just , you know , sharing office space . victoria : i do n't know , billy . billy : newman enterprises occupies multiple floors themselves . that way your dad and i would never see each other . i mean , hell , the newmans and the abbotts probably would n't even cross paths . but the close proximity would allow for us to work together to try and eliminate the paragon threat . victoria : it 's a generous offer , and it 's very sweet . billy : and so you accept ? victoria : you know i would accept in a heartbeat , but you also know that it 's not my decision . billy : i know . we got to go through snidely . victoria : and dad does n't like accepting help from anyone , especially not the abbotts . however , if i pitch it to him just right -- billy : actually , i think there 's only one person who could convince your dad to go along with this . victoria : who ? billy : you just keep working on arranging the memorial , and i 'll take care of that . sage : i do n't know how to do it . i ca n't imagine living without our son . i ca n't do it . nick : we just have to . you got to take it one step at a time . sage : it hurts to breathe . nick : i know . but we 're gon na get through this . sage : how ? nick : together . that 's the only way . the first thing we got to do is a memorial . sage : what ? a - a memorial ? you want me to make plans to bury our son ? nick : no . no . vick will take care of everything . you do n't have to do anything . sage : our son has not been gone one day ... and you 're ready to say goodbye ? nick : sage , we need to do this . sage : i do n't want to talk about this , nick ! i do n't want to talk about funerals and arrangements ! what the hell is wrong with you ? ! why is victoria pushing this ? ! nick : because she wants to help . sage : i do n't want her help ! nick : look ... we do n't have to decide anything right now , okay ? it 's -- it 's okay . listen ... i 'm gon na let the nurse check you out . i 'll be right outside . sage : i 'm sorry . nick : it 's okay . it 's okay . sage : i - i ca n't do it . i ca n't do this . please , not yet . nick : i understand . sage : i 'm sorry . nick : no , it 's okay . just get some rest , okay ? we 'll -- we 'll talk later . okay . it 's okay . i 'll be right outside . ashley : abby told me you 're awake . stitch : ashley ... ashley : i just wanted to thank you -- you know , for saving my life , probably more than once . stitch : why 'd you lie to abby about what i told you last night ? ashley : i thought we were gon na die . a lot of things were said that we did n't mean . stitch : i meant every word i said . ashley : you do n't have to do that . stitch : i love you , ashley . neil : hi . hilary : neil . i was hoping that you 'd pass by . neil : here i am . so , how you feeling ? hilary : mm , better . neil : has your memory started to return at all ? hilary : uh , bits and pieces . but , uh , the doctor gave me some good news . he said i can go home today ... even though i have no idea where that is . neil : well , i 'm sure that devon would like to have you stay with him . hilary : i already told him that i ca n't move in with him . neil : you could stay with me until you , you know , figure things out -- where you want to go . hilary : that 's really nice of you , but i heard that you 're seeing someone . neil : yeah . gwen . uh , we 've been seeing each other for a while now . i - i 'm so sorry . i did n't mean to hurt you at a time like this . hilary : no . no . i - i know you would never do that . just ... i do n't know how we got to this place . how could i betray you the way that you said that i did ? neil : i know it 's hard for you to accept this reality right now . hilary : but ... i have no choice ? is that what you 're trying to say ? devon : it 's a little early for that , huh ? gwen : but it 's not too early to nag me about it ? devon : i do n't mean to nag you . i 'm just ... trying to help . gwen : i got al the help i need . thanks . devon : believe me , i 'm thinking about joining you , 'cause i just got back from seeing hilary at the hospital . gwen : is she still living in an alternate universe ? devon : yeah . i tried to tell her how much i love her , but she does n't want to hear ... that or anything i have to say . all she can think about is neil and how much she loves him . it 's like their marriage never ended . gwen : well , it did . and she 's gon na have to deal with that . devon : it must be so weird for neil , having loved her as much as he did , and now hilary wants things to go back to the way they were , like when they first got married . gwen : they ca n't . she does n't get to have him back -- not after what neil and i went through to make sure she got home to you . sharon : what are you doing ? dylan : i 'm sorry , man . nick : thanks . dylan : is there anything i can do for you ? nick : yeah . we can talk about something else . dylan : uh , okay . nick : how 's sharon ? dylan : uh , actually , i just came from fairview , and she was sleeping . i did n't really get to talk to her , but she looked , uh -- she looked good -- better than i thought she would . she 's -- she 's really starting to show , and i got to see the ultrasound -- sorry . nick : no , do n't , you know ? you 're , uh -- [ sighs ] you 're gon na be a dad . you should be excited . dylan : in that case , uh , everything 's -- everything 's good . nick : i 'm glad . dylan : you know , i did n't -- i did n't tell sharon . i was n't sure how she 'd react , so ... nick : yeah , that 's a good call . sharon should n't get upset at this stage of her pregnancy . sharon : what were you doing just now ? dr. anderson : i was , uh , putting the blanket back on . you kicked it off . i did n't want you and the baby to get a chill . sharon : oh . thank you . dr. anderson : i noticed it earlier when dylan was checking in on you . sharon : dylan was here ? dr. anderson : yeah , he was here . we talked . you know , something that came up was that he did n't want to know the sex of the baby unless you did . sharon : i definitely want to know . dr. anderson : well , then i 'll tell you , and you can share the news with dylan . sharon : you think i should see him ? dr. anderson : it 's time . and what better topic for you to discuss than your baby ? sharon : so , tell me ... what am i having -- a boy or a girl ? sage : why are you here , reverend ? reverend wilkins : i 'm so sorry for your loss , sage . i know this is diff -- sage : have you ever lost a child ? reverend wilkins : no . sage : then you have no idea how difficult this is for me . do n't tell me to feel better . i do n't want to feel better . i want you to leave my room . get out ! nick : what 's -- what 's going on ? reverend wilkins : i - i did n't mean to upset your wife . victoria asked me to perform your son 's memorial today . sage : what ? ! nick , today ? ! you want me to bury my son today ? ! ashley : we shared a very traumatic experience . it was very confusing . stitch : i am not traumatized or confused . i know exactly how i feel . i love you . ashley : just stop saying that . that 's not real . you love abby . and she loves you . so , you ca n't be in love with me . stitch : why not ? ashley : i know how happy you make each other , and you 're gon na have a long and happy life together . stitch : i want to be with you , and i know you want to be with me . ashley : you 're gon na forget everything that happened between us . stitch : can you do that ? ashley : yes . and so can you . devon : what exactly do you mean , everything you had to go through with neil to make sure hilary got back safe to me ? gwen : i 'm just frustrated . that 's all . and i 've had -- i 've had too many of these . devon : right , but that does n't exactly explain what you meant . gwen : it 's just ... neil spent so much energy trying to help you , and he was consumed by the search for hilary , and he was just worried sick about what would turn out , and ... that 's all . devon : okay . so , now that she 's back , everything should be fine , right ? gwen : yeah . it should . but listen to me , devon . do n't give up , okay ? keep fighting for your wife . neil : so , you should get some rest . hilary : do you have to leave ? neil : yeah . um , i 'll check back later , okay ?

[ scene_break ] blair : so what is this , jack ? jack : none of your business . blair : ok . well , it might not be any of my business , but since i already saw it , why do n't we talk about it ? jack : it 's not a big deal , ok ? blair : well , then fessing up wo n't be a big deal , either . why do n't you tell me about this gigi morasco scholarship fund and why you 're carrying around a letter asking for donations for it ? [ scene_break ] jessica : so how are you adjusting to life at llanfair ? todd : it could be worse . you 're here , and viki keeps the fridge fully stocked , and ... i could do without the wheelie dude in there giving me the evil eye every 3 seconds , but -- jessica : be nice . come on . todd : tell that to him . you know what ? he 's the one under house arrest , so maybe i should -- jessica : my father is a pussycat . todd : yeah . i 'd really like to go get some air . jessica : well , come on . we 've barely had a chance to talk . do n't worry . i 'll protect you .

[ scene_break ] natalie : i do n't know what kim 's agenda is , dad , but you 're on it . clearly , she wants another shot at you . clint : would that be so awful ? natalie : i thought you hated gold diggers , or have you and rex kissed and made up ? clint : well , thanks to rex , there 's no longer any gold to dig . natalie : you know , dad , that 's what makes kim 's sudden appearance here even more suspicious , but you know what ? luckily , you ca n't go out and play , because you 're under house arrest and recovering from a heart transplant . clint : means i have a lot of time on my hands . natalie : to focus on recovery . why do n't we leave romance in the future , like far , far in the future ? clint : kim is a friend , and she 's not going anywhere . natalie : fine . then maybe i should leave , because there is no way i 'm sticking around if i have to deal with that bitch on a daily basis . jessica : finally . this bitch thinks that it 's about time . you can pack your knives and leave , and we 'll all be better off for it . [ scene_break ] jack : it 's not a big deal , ok , just something i thought about doing . blair : establishing a scholarship in gigi 's name ? that was your idea ? jack : i heard that gigi was in college when she , you know , so i figured i 'd do something to honor her in her name , and ... it 'll also get dad a tax break . i talked to some people at the `` sun `` who said they handle charity stuff , and they said they 'd help me set it up . blair : ok . well , you know , you could 've named it after anyone . why 'd you pick gigi ? jack : i just told you . blair : i know that you did , but actually , i think there 's more to it than that , right ? you know , we 've been avoiding talking about what you did , but maybe now is -- come on . come on . maybe now is the time that we do it . jack : what is there to talk about ? blair : maybe how you feel . i know you put up this tough front , like some people we know , but i know deep down , you have a very big heart , jack , a heart that makes you look after your little brother and take care of your sisters , a heart that feels bad when you do something , do something really bad . i know that you feel awful about what happened to gigi . i know that you do , and i know that you feel that you probably ca n't talk to anybody about it , right ? hmm ? sweetie , you can talk to me about anything . i promise you , i 'll always listen to you . so come on . tell me what 's going on here . [ scene_break ] kim : hey , i can go wherever i want . it 's a free country , is n't it ? shaun : last time i checked . kim : then leave me the hell alone . i 'm already having a bad night . shaun : yeah ? what happened ? kim : none of your business , you big oaf . shaun : nice . just as charming as your friend stacy morasco . kim : oh , you got something to say about stacy ? shaun : just that she bumped into me , too , and did n't say that she was sorry , either . kim : she was pregnant . it 's not like she did it on purpose . shaun : so that means that she can forget her manners , not that she had any to begin with . kim : just shut up , ok ? stacy morasco is the best person i know . shaun : do n't you mean `` was `` ? [ scene_break ] destiny : you love victor , right ? dani : definitely . destiny : and you want to get to know todd . dani : yeah . i do . destiny : so ? it seems to me like you know where you stand , and besides , it 's not like you 're in this alone . your whole family is in the same boat . dani : yeah , the titanic . destiny : oh , come on . is it that bad ? dani : it 's just weird . destiny : that 's an understatement . dani : it 's got to be the weirdest for my mom . when she married victor , she was promising that she would spend her whole life with a totally different guy . destiny : but she 's cool with that , right ? dani : yeah . she still loves him , but i do n't know if victor believes that . i told you , when he found out the truth , he pretended like he was really todd . destiny : but he just panicked , right ? dani : yeah , but what if he 's still scared ? destiny : of what ? dani : that he 's gon na lose us because he 's not todd . [ scene_break ] téa : [ gasps ] todd ? bo told you to stay away from here . todd : where 's victor ? téa : he 's gone . todd : where 'd he go ? téa : irene . he went to speak to irene .

[ scene_break ] jessica : natalie , you keep on threatening to leave , but you just do n't go . so if i 'm so difficult to live with , why do n't you go somewhere else ? natalie : it 's interesting that when i say , `` bitch , `` you automatically assume i 'm talking about you . jessica : oh , you were n't ? natalie : not this time ... clint : natalie -- natalie : but you know what ? not everything is about you , jess . jessica : so if you were n't talking about me , then -- natalie : kim andrews , but you know what ? if it 's too hard for you to live in this house knowing that i 'm not spending every waking moment trying to figure out how to hurt you ... clint : natalie -- natalie : then by all means , you can move out yourself . clint : all right . stop . you are making your father the heart patient very angry . jessica : i 'm sorry , dad . what is she talking about ? clint : kimberly paid us a visit . natalie : to lay the groundwork to make another play for dad , but i gave her the heave - ho . jessica : where do you get off doing that ? [ scene_break ] rex : shane , look . just please talk to me . shane : you want to talk ? fine . tell me why you had to dig mom up and how that makes the mannings pay for what they did to her . when are they ever gon na have to pay , dad , ever ? [ scene_break ] blair : so you can trust me . you can talk to me . jack : that 's not what dad says . blair : so do you believe everything that your dad says after everything we learned ? jack : that was not his fault . blair : i know that , but he lied to us . jack : that 's always what it comes back to with you , is n't it -- dad is a liar , and everything is his fault . well , dad might have done some bad things , but scarface is no saint , either . blair : ok . you have n't had a chance to get to know him . jack : yeah . i have . blair : what do you mean , you have ? jack : i mean , i saw him stealing from our safe . blair : well , what did he take ? [ scene_break ] irene : detective ... john : mm . irene : are prisoners not allowed visitors ? john : yeah , during visiting hours . victor : just gon na talk to her for a second , man . when i 'm done with her , i 'm never coming back . just gon na talk to her . what am i gon na do ? john : you got 10 minutes . victor : well ? irene : you are gon na get me out of here . [ scene_break ] blair : what did todd take from the safe ? jack : i do n't know . i really could n't tell . blair : well , when was it ? jack : last night after you went to bed . blair 's voice : are you crazy ? todd 's voice : you offered it to me . blair 's voice : i know what i offered , but i 'm not gon na let you go shoot victor , and if you want to go throw away your life , you go do it , but i 'm not gon na help you , good lord , and i 'm certainly not gon na be around to pick up the pieces . blair : no . he could n't have . jack : mom , what 's wrong ? blair : oh , it 's gone . jack : what is ? [ scene_break ] todd : victor is with irene ? téa : yeah . she called him . todd : he 's in on it with her ? is that it ? he 's been in on it with her from day one ? téa : no . victor loathes her as much as you do . todd : well , what 's he doing with her ? téa : i do n't know . she called him . she said , you know -- todd : she said what ? téa : it 's not important . todd : what 's not important ? téa : i think she said she wanted to see him . todd : so he just scampered away to be at her heels . téa : oh , she 's got some sort of weird hold on him . todd : yeah . i 'll say . oh , he 's a good , little mutt . he 'll follow orders . téa : what orders ? todd : mommie dearest is gon na sic big , old victor on me . [ scene_break ] victor : i 'm gon na get you out of here ? nah . well , why do n't i have the charges dropped against you while i 'm at it ? irene : let 's start small . victor : bye , mom . irene : i ca n't help you from behind bars . victor : what makes you think i need your help ? irene : of course , you do , unless you want todd to raze your life to the ground and take everything you have left . if i know todd -- and i 've had 8 years to get into his head -- he 's not wasting any time . he 's already begun co - opting your family . he 's living with victoria , is n't he ? next , he 'll be ingratiating himself to the children , if he has n't already , and when he 's done with them , he 'll take blair ... and finally , téa . [ scene_break ] téa : you know , you two really are two peas in a pod . todd : no , no . do n't do that . you ca n't compare him to me . téa : together , you might really accomplish something , but instead , you both just revert to paranoia . todd : it 's not paranoia if it turns out that it 's true . some insane , crazy lady literally replaced me with my own twin and then tried to have me killed . i have a right to be vaguely paranoid . téa : well , if it makes you feel any better , she wanted to have victor killed , too . he is with her right now trying to break ties with her , which , i 'd imagine , is not an easy task . todd : why is it difficult ? you just do n't engage . i 'm never gon na share oxygen with that lunatic redhead ever again . téa : i know you probably think that that 's true , and i wish i did , too , but i do n't think she 's done with you . todd : yeah . well , i 'm done with her . téa : no , you 're not , not until you find out why she kept you alive and captive for 8 years . why did she do that ? what did she want from you ? [ scene_break ] jessica : just when i think you ca n't get anymore petty and selfish -- natalie : i was protecting our father . jessica : from what , natalie ? there 's nothing left to steal . natalie : you do n't like her , either . jessica : does n't matter whether i like her . dad does . that 's all that matters . why do you feel the need to meddle in everybody else 's relationships ? do you want to date kim ? is that the thing here ? clint : ah , this needs to stop right now . natalie : you forget how much kim hurt dad last year ? i mean , instead of sticking around and working out the problems like couples that love each other are supposed to do , she just walked out on him . jessica : well , now he know she must have had a reason . natalie : dad waited for her . he searched for her . kim had plenty of time to come to her senses . jessica : or come clean . natalie : maybe , but she did n't , and now she just waltzes back into his life and expects everything to go back to the way it was . clint : that 's not what happened , natalie , and you know it . natalie : too damn late , dad , ok ? kimberly has herself to blame , just like the rest of us . we all just need to move on . jessica : like you have with brody . natalie : like you have with ford . brody and i are family , and you can cry about it all you want , but nothing will change that . [ scene_break ] victor : i do n't want any more of your help . brody : what 's going on over there ? john : who cares ? where you been ? brody : shane needed to see me . john : how 's he doing ? brody : not good . he 's hell - bent on making jack and his father pay for what they did to gigi . john : i do n't blame him . brody : yeah . me , neither . maybe there 's a way we can make that happen . john : this guy -- victor , todd , whatever his name is -- he 's gon na pay for everything he did , but as far as gigi 's case goes , he 's covered his tracks . brody : so what do we do now ? john : next time he slips up , we 'll be there . brody : what if it 's not soon enough ? [ scene_break ] jessica : natalie , ford and i are not together . you want to know why ? because i have self - respect , a quality that you , the town tramp , are sorely missing . natalie : would you like to sorely be missing a few teeth ? clint : all right . stop it . you 're both acting like spoiled brats . grow up . natalie : you know what , dad ? you 're absolutely right . enough is enough . [ telephone rings ] jessica : oh , i 'll get it .

[ cell phone rings ] brody : what 's up ? clint : natalie , whatever you 're thinking of doing ... natalie : just a sec . clint : why do n't we just sit down and talk about it -- you , me , and jess ? jessica : oh , god , what 's going on now ? natalie : you know what ? look . brody , i hope this is ok with you , but i 'd like to call the real estate broker and snatch up that apartment that we saw the other day . brody : fine by me , but i thought you wanted to sleep on it . natalie : yeah . yeah , yeah . i did , but i thought about it , and you know what ? it 's gon na be a perfect place for us to raise our family , and you know what ? i 'm not gon na get any rest until i get the hell out of here . [ scene_break ] destiny : i have an idea . dani : you could switch fourth period french ? destiny : no . you should sleep over at my house tonight . you said you were worried about your mom and victor , right ? dani : yeah . destiny : so maybe they just need some time alone , and that way , you and i can figure out these class schedules ... dani : true . destiny : and your mom and victor can ... dani : ew ! des ! destiny : talk , just talk . dani : right . talk . i 'll go call . [ scene_break ] kim : `` is , `` `` was . `` what are you , the grammar police or something ? shaun : you know stacy -- kim : died last year . yeah . i know , but it 's not like i saw her , and they never even found the body . so i can always think of her as alive . that way , i can think of her still somewhere out there in the world , not stuck in the cold , hard ground . shaun : that makes sense . kim : do n't make fun of me . shaun : i 'm just saying , it 's sad when anyone dies young , no matter who it is . so you probably heard about stacy 's sister . kim : yeah . i did . shaun : you ok ? kim : yeah . i 'm fine . you 're right . it is sad when anyone young dies . no one deserves that . shaun : yeah . well , i got to go pick up my order . are you coming in ?

[ scene_break ] todd : i have no idea what it was that irene manning wanted from me . she had her goons ask me the same questions over and over again . they thought i had something . they thought that i had something that they wanted . téa : what was it ? todd : i do n't know . i do n't have a clue . i did n't have a clue then . i have less of a clue now . téa : huh . do n't you want to find out ? todd : no . delgado , given the choice between spending my energy doing that and getting to know my granddaughter -- she 's beautiful ... téa : yeah . she is . todd : getting to know our daughter -- she 's beautiful , too -- téa : mm , and smart . todd : there 's no contest . if i could have a family again , why would i bother trying to figure out what my crazy mother wanted from me ? it 's just not important .

[ scene_break ] sofie : mommy 's trying . hey -- i do n't know what to do . please just tell me -- tell me how i can help you . [ hallie crying ] [ scene_break ] jack : hey , how 's practice ? i went out on a limb and i ordered you a cheeseburger , some fries , and a chocolate shake . parker : yeah , well , i hope you got it to go , because if i 'm not home in 15 minutes , mom 's going to freak . jack : she 's going to freak -- oh , coach did n't tell you , did he ? parker : what ? jack : yeah , he was -- he probably did n't want to disappoint you in case we rejected his idea . parker : what are you talking about ? jack : two tickets to tonight 's playoff game , courtesy of coach branford . parker : that 's impossible .

[ scene_break ] parker : okay , there 's no way my coach gave you these tickets . jack : he left them at the station with a note , buddy . parker : okay , but you did n't see him or talk to him . do n't you think that 's a little weird ? jack : i worry about anonymous ticking packages left on my desk , not center ice seats . come on , i thought you 'd be thrilled to go to this game . parker : but i do n't know -- it just -- it does n't feel right . jack : oh , do n't -- do n't go there again -- parker : i think this is sam . jack : no , why ? why ca n't you just drop it for five minutes ? come on , we 're going to be late for the game . parker : i need you to believe me , dad . sam is up to something . i know it . [ scene_break ] chris : you want me to leave oakdale ? bob : no -- i did n't say i wanted you to leave . but i think there are others who may have trouble getting past what your mistake has cost this hospital . chris : well , obviously i 'll step down as chief of staff . that 's your job . but i was hoping to stay on staff here , dad . i 'm still a good doctor . bob : of course you are . but why not start new someplace else -- someplace where it will be easier for you to prove it ?

[ scene_break ] margo : look , guys , i know how hard this is , but believe me , letting the police handle it is the fastest way to find hallie . will : maybe here , but new york is a huge city . our missing child report is probably buried on some cop 's desk . margo : no -- believe me , they take missing minors very seriously . they 've got a lot of professional eyes and ears out looking for her . gwen : but none of them care as much as we do . margo : well , exactly my point . you 're much too emotionally involved . if you go to new york , you 're going to end up scaring sofie off , just like aaron did . and besides , what if she comes back here ? gwen : she 's right . margo : i 'm right -- well , go , i 'll keep you posted . i promise .

they 're on the bureau , second bedroom on the right . skye : sure . lorenzo : thanks . lorenzo : what 's the verdict ? man : involuntary manslaughter . manny will do some community service at general hospital , but he has to wear an ankle monitor . lorenzo : well , that 's a complication . but with a little creativity , manny should still be able to eliminate corinthos . stay on it . ready ?

i mean , honestly , tomorrow you 'll be on to your next conquest . i do n't understand why we need to make a big deal and , you know , try and talk and try and have fun . we can just sit here quietly . patrick : why do you have to put up this wall ? seriously , what 's the problem with having a genuine conversation ? robin : i think the reason that i 'm so guarded is the same reason that you 're so cocky and flip . we 're both trying to hide what we 're feeling . elizabeth : i hate the idea that manny ruiz is working off his community service here at the hospital . lucky : just promise me you 'll stay clear of the guy . elizabeth : no problem . the guy gives me the creeps . lucky : he did n't bother you while he was recuperating here , did he ?

i ca n't listen to this anymore . the jury 's made its decision . it 's over . let it be over . sam : no , it is not over ! it is just the beginning . manny is free now , and god help you when he chases you down a hallway with a knife or goes after one of your children . jason : i 'll set it up as soon as i can . sonny : no , no , no , it 's oo risky . durant could be watching . letting manny live a little longer could work to our advantage . lorenzo : does it hurt ?

[ robin laughs ] patrick : right , the woman who would possibly take off a weekend from work . robin : actually , one time , i was so determined to go to the smashing pumpkins concert with my boyfriend that i stole my uncle mac 's car to do so . patrick : there 's no way . robin : yes , i did , except we actually did n't make it to the concert . we ran over this skunk on the way , and i had to drive the reeking mess all the way back to his house . i mean , he thought that the skunk had coitted suicide in his heating vent . patrick : robin scorpio -- bad girl in disguise . robin : hmm . hardly . i confessed to the whole thing . uncle mac had figured it out and he was making this big show of being so nice to me and stone and telling us how much he trusted us -- of course , expecting me to crumble and tell the truth , which is exactly what i did . patrick : stone -- that 's the boyfriend who died ? robin : yeah . patrick : you still think about him , do n't you ? robin : well , i was devastated when he died , and i still get sad sometimes when i think abo him , but i like to remember all the great times that we had . i think about how special and amazing they were , and the fact that i was just lucky to have known him in my life . i think that 's the way he would 've liked to be remembered -- with happiness instead of tears . patrick : you should smile more often . you 're beautiful when you smile . justus : i 'm so sorry . i got held up at the courthouse awaiting the manny ruiz verdict . lainey : so what did the jury decide ? justus : you 're not going to believe this . involuntary manslaughter . the judge gave manny a suspended sentence and community service . lainey : wow . i hope we do n't all live to regret that . justus : that 's exactly what i was saying . you know , you had a chance to assess manny . you got a chance to see the inner workings of his mind , did n't you ? lainey : where are you going with this , justus ? justus : well , i 'm just saying , if manny reverts back to his old ways , it would be nice to have somebody there who could pick up the warning signs , that 's all . lainey : so you want me to keep an eye on him ? juus : i 'm just saying the man is going to be working at general hospital . i just want you to watch your back . lucky : listen , you might want to stay away from sonny for the time being . emily : lucky , you 're -- you 're the one who encouraged me to trust my instincts . lucky : that was before i knew manny had been released . emily : i agree that manny 's dangerous . alexis got the jury to reduce the conviction to involuntary manslaughter by claiming that manny 's completely different now , but i think he 's faking it . lucky : then you can see why i 'm worried . manny will go after sonny . that can make you a target . emily : lucky , i 'm not going to desert sonny . all right , he 's going to protect the people he cares about , and that includes me . emily : come on , boys , let 's go . you ready ? elizabeth : here , emily , here 's his jacket . emily : thanks . elizabeth : bye , boys . emily : come on , guys . elizabeth : see you later . morgan : bye . elizabeth : ok . well , seems like em is determined to stay with sonny . lucky : she thinks he 's going torotect her . elizabeth : oh , god . not even sonny can guarantee someone 's safety . lucky : unless he has jason kill manny . if he does , what am i going to do about it ? sonny : i need to know if manny 's working with alcazar , all right ? we got to figure out what happens with this wholthing . manny just got a pass . i doubt he 's going to blow it . jason : ok . did you see where sam went ? sonny : no . jason : i 'm going to find her . alexis : i hope you 're not suggesting that i would do anything to willingly put my children at risk . sam : suggest ? alexis , that 's exactly what you just did . alexis : the jury made their decision , sam . they based it on the evidence that they had . you did not make it easy for them to believe you because you were out of control -- sam : are you kidding ? manny attacked me ! you want to call me a liar , fine , but it happened . i have proof . i have woundon my body . in part of your mind , i 'm thinking maybe , just maybe , you 've got to believe me . i think that 's what the jury calls reasonable doubt . but you helped set manny free , anyway . how any mother could do that , could count their child 's safety less important than a victory in court is totally beyond me . should n't your daughters come first ? alexis : you are so angry at me . i 'm not sure why . is it because of manny , or are you angry at me because kristina lived ? sam : what ? no . alexis : i 'm sorry your baby died , sam . i am sorry , and i think maybe you 've been blaming me for that all this time , but i 'm not responsible -- jason : just back off . ric : jason ? excuse me ? jason : ok ? ric : back away from my wife , please ? jason : let 's go . ric : you all right ? alexis : no , i 'm not .

[ robin laughs ] patrick : right , the woman who would possibly take off a weekend from work . robin : actually , one time , i was so determined to go to the smashing pumpkins concert with my boyfriend that i stole my uncle mac 's car to do so . patrick : there 's no way . robin : yes , i did , except we actually did n't make it to the concert . we ran over this skunk on the way , and i had to drive the reeking mess all the way back to his house . i mean , he thought that the skunk had coitted suicide in his heating vent . patrick : robin scorpio -- bad girl in disguise . robin : hmm . hardly . i confessed to the whole thing . uncle mac had figured it out and he was making this big show of being so nice to me and stone and telling us how much he trusted us -- of course , expecting me to crumble and tell the truth , which is exactly what i did . patrick : stone -- that 's the boyfriend who died ? robin : yeah . patrick : you still think about him , do n't you ? robin : well , i was devastated when he died , and i still get sad sometimes when i think abo him , but i like to remember all the great times that we had . i think about how special and amazing they were , and the fact that i was just lucky to have known him in my life . i think that 's the way he would 've liked to be remembered -- with happiness instead of tears . patrick : you should smile more often . you 're beautiful when you smile . justus : i 'm so sorry . i got held up at the courthouse awaiting the manny ruiz verdict . lainey : so what did the jury decide ? justus : you 're not going to believe this . involuntary manslaughter . the judge gave manny a suspended sentence and community service . lainey : wow . i hope we do n't all live to regret that . justus : that 's exactly what i was saying . you know , you had a chance to assess manny . you got a chance to see the inner workings of his mind , did n't you ? lainey : where are you going with this , justus ? justus : well , i 'm just saying , if manny reverts back to his old ways , it would be nice to have somebody there who could pick up the warning signs , that 's all . lainey : so you want me to keep an eye on him ? juus : i 'm just saying the man is going to be working at general hospital . i just want you to watch your back . lucky : listen , you might want to stay away from sonny for the time being . emily : lucky , you 're -- you 're the one who encouraged me to trust my instincts . lucky : that was before i knew manny had been released . emily : i agree that manny 's dangerous . alexis got the jury to reduce the conviction to involuntary manslaughter by claiming that manny 's completely different now , but i think he 's faking it . lucky : then you can see why i 'm worried . manny will go after sonny . that can make you a target . emily : lucky , i 'm not going to desert sonny . all right , he 's going to protect the people he cares about , and that includes me . emily : come on , boys , let 's go . you ready ? elizabeth : here , emily , here 's his jacket . emily : thanks . elizabeth : bye , boys . emily : come on , guys . elizabeth : see you later . morgan : bye . elizabeth : ok . well , seems like em is determined to stay with sonny . lucky : she thinks he 's going torotect her . elizabeth : oh , god . not even sonny can guarantee someone 's safety . lucky : unless he has jason kill manny . if he does , what am i going to do about it ? sonny : i need to know if manny 's working with alcazar , all right ? we got to figure out what happens with this wholthing . manny just got a pass . i doubt he 's going to blow it . jason : ok . did you see where sam went ? sonny : no . jason : i 'm going to find her . alexis : i hope you 're not suggesting that i would do anything to willingly put my children at risk . sam : suggest ? alexis , that 's exactly what you just did . alexis : the jury made their decision , sam . they based it on the evidence that they had . you did not make it easy for them to believe you because you were out of control -- sam : are you kidding ? manny attacked me ! you want to call me a liar , fine , but it happened . i have proof . i have woundon my body . in part of your mind , i 'm thinking maybe , just maybe , you 've got to believe me . i think that 's what the jury calls reasonable doubt . but you helped set manny free , anyway . how any mother could do that , could count their child 's safety less important than a victory in court is totally beyond me . should n't your daughters come first ? alexis : you are so angry at me . i 'm not sure why . is it because of manny , or are you angry at me because kristina lived ? sam : what ? no . alexis : i 'm sorry your baby died , sam . i am sorry , and i think maybe you 've been blaming me for that all this time , but i 'm not responsible -- jason : just back off . ric : jason ? excuse me ? jason : ok ? ric : back away from my wife , please ? jason : let 's go . ric : you all right ? alexis : no , i 'm not .

sonny : i -- i 'm sorry that i had to cancel the plans . emily : no , no , no . things happen . sonny : i mean , i was on the phone with carly . we had a blowup and -- because she wanted me to pick up the kids , she was too busy , and that 's when i called you . was she difficult ? emily : uh -- no comment . sonny : i 'm sorry to impose , you know . emily : no , i enjoy spending time with michael and morgan , and -- and i 'm just glad to have a reason to see you . sonny : yeah , me , too . michael : hey , dad . ( acoustic guitar music playing throughout ) skye : here i thought you were going to dazzle me with your good cooking . lorenzo : oh , what gourmet cooking ? skye : i mean , you ca n't whip up a souffle at a moment 's notice ? lorenzo : hmm , i grew up with servants and a live - in cook . about the best i can do is scrambled eggs and toast . skye : aha -- yet another thing we have in common . lorenzo : yeah , you do n't cook ? skye : huh . let 's just say it 's low on my list of priorities . hey , do you want another slice ? lorenzo : oh , all right , why not ? skye : yeah . ok . here . uh - uh - uh . lorenzo : mmm . enjoying yourself ? skye : you know , i just had such a blast from the past . i had just left the most boring cotillion ever in school . and i went back to my room in my dress , had some pizza , and i sat there munching away , reading a romance novel . oh , it was the best . lorenzo : well , i 'm sorry i do n't have a romance novel to lend you . skye : well , i 'd say the real thing is much , much better . lorenzo : hmm . skye : you know -- um -- your beard kind of tickles me when i kiss you , and we 're going to have to do something about that . lorenzo : i like my beard . skye : yeah ? i don't . i think it hides your handsome face , and it kind of scratches me when i kiss you . lorenzo : so you want me to shave my beard off just for you ? skye : well , you know , if you 're really committed to making a new start , you would . lorenzo : all right . but you have to pass a test , as well . i 'll lose the beard , if you shave it off . jason : are you ok ? sam : huh ? i 'm trying to be . i am scared that alexis is right about me . that i will never get over the realization that her daughter got to live and mine had to die . you know , the last time i felt my baby was in that chapel the night that alexis yelled at me . i collapsed , i woke up , my baby was gone . i know alexis did n't kill her , because the doctors told me that it would happen , anyway . but i -- at least i know that my daughter left an amazing gift in this world . jason : now , kristina is n't to blame for what her mother did . sam : i know , jason , i know . i 'm just so angry at alexis , and it 's worse now because she 's defending a man that hurt me and you . it 's just not fair . jason : and you have every right to feel that way . you do . sam : i just -- i am so angry at alexis . and the anger comes up out of nowhere and i do n't know what to do with it . jason : well , you need to just stay away from alexis . really , for your own sake . manny : i do n't mean to intrude , but i just wanted to thank you again for defending me . alexis : i was just doing my job . manny : oh , you did a lot more than that , ms . davis . you gave me a chance at a new life , and i wo n't forget it . mike : i do n't want that lowlife under this roof . ric : might be wise for us to know what he 's up to . if he 's staying here at kelly 's , we can keep an eye on him . mike : so you 're admitting he 's still a threat ? ric : i 'm saying it 's a possibility . mike : then why did you help your wife defend this scum ? ric : because , mike , we 're lawyers . that 's what we do , ok ? alexis was drafted into manny 's case . we trusted the system , now he 's free . it 'd be wise to let him stay here at kelly 's . keeps us all safe . mike : maybe you 're right . all right -- um -- i 'll rent you a room . manny : thank you . can i take it right aw ? mike : follow me . alexis : i am not comfortable with that . ric : he 's staying in port charles whether we like it or not . it 's better if we can have him someplace where we can keep an eye on him . alexis : i agree -- in theory . kristina loves this place , viola brings her here twice -- twice a week , and i do n't wa her to run into him . ric : yeah . even though he 's a changed man , right ? alexis : medical evidence supports that , but do we really want to bet kristina 's safety on a doctor 's best guess , and please do n't call me a hypocrite . ric : no , you did what you were supposed to do , what the court ordered you to do . you upheld the law . alexis : which will be cold comfort if sam is right and i freed a maniac . michael : so , i thought you were out . sonny : yeah , well , i was . i just came home , you know ? michael : to eat with us ? sonny : yep . michael : cool . i 'm going to go tell morgan . carly : well , i cleared my schedule , so here i am . sonny : for what ? carly : to have dinner with you and the boys .

patrick : what are you doing back so soon ? noah : i 'm sober . i -- i want to clean up my life . robin : well , you know , i should be heading home , anyway . noah : no , no , no , no , i do n't mean -- robin : it 's ok . i was going to leave , anyway . good night , and thank you . patrick : see you tomorrow . robin : mm - hmm . noah : look , i did n't -- i did n't mean to bust up your evening . i just -- i want to run something by you . patrick : and it could n't wait till tomorrow ? noah : no , no . i want to come back to general hospital . i know it 's going to take a while for me to rebuild my career , but i want to try it , and i want to know if you 're open to that . patrick : no way in hell . jason : were you at sonny 's when i called ?

noah : one day at a time . patrick : well , i 'll give you that -- got the lingo memorized . noah : look , i know the only way to honor your mom is to go back performing surgery again and maybe save some lives . patrick : i built a career in the shadow of your spectacular flameout . it was n't easy , but i worked hard , and now i 'm considered one of the best . i 'm not going to have you mess that up . i do n't trust your sobriety , and i do n't want you in my hospital . john : kudos from the evening paper . `` ruiz 's chief counsel , defense attorney alexis davis , brilliantly argued her client 's case and obtained a suspended sentence from what could 've been a death - penalty case . `` you do realize you 're going to have rich psychopaths lining up at your door for the privilege of you representing them ?

i have n't been here in months . mcbain : well , you and alexis both got calls from the security company , right ? ewen : right . mcbain : well , the calls are bogus . there was no alarm tripped . security company confirmed they never made those calls . ewen : well -- uh , wait . i 'm not sure i quite follow you . mcbain : what 's the point of having all those diplomas , doc ? i mean , obviously , someone tried to lure alexis here . since you got a call , they were trying to lure you here , too . you have any idea who 'd want to do that ? jerry : is n't it convenient ? you 're being released on the very day that i 'm here to provide transportation . fantastic . guard : you can get changed while they finalize your paperwork . jerry : congratulations on your impending freedom . joe jr. : thanks . you know , it 's amazing how fast this all happened once you got involved . jerry : i know , but i had incentive . in this case , time really is money . mcbain : hey , come on , doc , concentrate here , all right ? can you think of anyone that would want to get you and alexis to the island ? ewen : no , not that i can think of . mcbain : no . all right . well , hey , why did n't you come out here last night when you first got the call ? ewen : well , i actually did n't check the message until , um , the morning . mcbain : you mind if i borrow your phone ? ewen : sure . um ... oh , but the -- the message is on my office line . mcbain : oh , that 's too bad . well , i 'm sure the pcpd can send someone over to trace it . ewen : sure . um , just curious -- why do you think that whoever lured alexis out here would be connected to her illness ? jason : we 're looking for any possible link ... between josslyn and alexis . ewen : oh , certainly josslyn could n't have got a call and asked to come out . jason : josslyn does n't have a phone . mcbain : she 's just a little girl . ewen : you 're right . look , i hope you -- you figure out what 's going on . um , if you 'll excuse me . mcbain : hey , doc . you look a little woozy , you know ? you start coming down with something , you make sure you get yourself to the e.r . ewen : of course , yeah . um , i 'll actually head over there now and see if i can be of help . mcbain : mm . [ door opens , closes ] mcbain : kind of a nervous fellow . jason : i 'd say . mcbain : makes me think he 's hiding something . jerry : [ coughing ] [ cell phone rings ] jerry : what ? ewen : you said they 'd be all right . jerry : calm down . ewen : i do n't want to calm down . josslyn and alexis are in hospital because of you , and you need to tell me what you did to them before it 's too late . starr : hey . kristina : i 'm so glad you 're here . starr : michael , how 's your sister doing ? michael : uh , the doctors still do n't know anything . starr : sorry . steve : lizzie , could you get sam and carly ? i have alexis and josslyn 's blood work . elizabeth : and ? what 's going on ? steve : we have a real problem on our hands . molly : t.j. , um ... maybe you should give shawn a break about rosie . t.j. : [ scoffs ] why ? i mean , he obviously does n't like her . molly : then why is he dating her ? t.j. : because she 's there . molly : men ! t.j. : i mean , i get that he 's lonely , but , like , should n't he go out with someone that he actually likes ? molly : sure . but who ? t.j. : if i knew that , we would still be riding roller coasters . molly : well , the only people i know are in high school . and my mother . t.j. : [ laughs ] mac : are you interested in alexis ? shawn : you know what ? i 'm seeing someone , you know ? mac : i 'm sorry . i mean , if i 'd have known , i would n't have pushed alexis into making a move with you . shawn : you pushed her into doing what ? mac : well , like i said , i 've recently gotten back with my ex , and you know how couples like to match everybody up . i may have , uh ... nudged alexis in your direction . i mean , not that it matters . obviously , she chickened out . shawn : or maybe i shot her down before she had the chance . sam : mom ? can you remember what happened ? alexis : thought i could . but it 's gone . sam : get some rest . maybe it 'll come back on its own . alexis : mm . sam : [ sighs ] kristina : i 'm sorry i 'm such a basket case . trey : no . no , no , no . if it were my dad in the e.r . , i 'd be worried , too . kristina : i just do n't want you to think it 's your job to prop me up or anything . trey : no , kristina . no . i 'm right where i want to be , okay ? kristina : this is where i want you to be , too . michael : these tests are taking forever . starr : i 'm sure the doctors are doing everything they can . michael : i do n't know who i feel worse for -- my mom or josslyn . you know , josslyn had a kidney transplant a little more than a year ago , and she was in the hospital for a few weeks , and ... we kept telling her that she was gon na be okay . and now here she is -- back at the hospital . and now they 're drawing her blood . you know , and she 's doing really good . she 's not fighting the nurses , she 's not crying . i just -- i just wish i could take this on for her , you know ? be the one getting stuck with needles and being sick . starr : hey , hey , hey . you 're her big brother . if you tell her she 's gon na be okay , she 'll believe you . michael : i wish that would work for my mom . she 's been in josslyn 's room this whole time . she 's acting all cheerful , but i know underneath that , she 's terrified . so am i . starr : hey . ewen : just tell me what you did to alexis and josslyn so i can help them . jerry : they 're not your concern . ewen : they are my concern . i 'm your accomplice . jerry : be a great comfort to you that the ultimate responsibility will be mine . ewen : please . i just want to help them . jerry : i assure you , i 'm monitoring the situation . ewen : are you monitoring what 's going on at wyndemere ? jason morgan is here with the police , and they know alexis was lured here last night , and ... well , soon enough , they 'll know everything else . mcbain : so , what kind of personal items do you think the doc left behind ? could n't have been real important , considering he rushed off like that . did n't even bother to check on them . you notice how he was n't real concerned when he found out the calls from the security company were bogus ? jason : 'cause he 's lying . mcbain : ' course he 's lying . question is , why is he lying ? we need to find out what the doc 's hiding and how does it relate to josslyn and alexis . jerry : i did n't anticipate that jason would put the pieces together so quickly . what did you say when he confronted you ? ewen : no , the cop did all the talking . jason barely spoke . jerry : and i hope you followed his example and kept your mouth shut . ewen : well , that might have been a little suspicious , do n't you think ? jerry : lose the attitude and tell me exactly what you said . ewen : i - i told them that i 'd had some things in storage out here and that i 'd received the same phone call alexis did about the break - in . jerry : you idiot ! did it not occur to you that they could trace you ? ewen : well , maybe you should have thought of that first before you lured alexis out here in the first place . jerry : i do n't have time for regrets . i 'm gon na have to speed up my timetable . ewen : to hell with your timetable . i 'm going to the hospital right now and i 'll find out what you did to josslyn and alexis ... and i 'll reverse it . jerry : that would be extremely unwise ... not to mention very futile . kristina : how 's mom ? sam : resting . i think she -- steve : uh , sam , can i have a word ? kristina : go . i 'll keep an eye on mom . sam : okay . she 's gon na be fine . michael : hey , mom . carly : hey . michael : i hope you do n't mind . i called starr . carly : no , i do n't mind . we can use all the support we can get . we 're just trying to , um , bring her fever down , huh , baby ? yeah . michael : joss ... you just , uh , got to hang in there a little longer , okay ? let the doctors make you feel all better , and i can take you out on the boat . hey , i 'll , uh -- i 'll even let you drive again . carly : no , you wo n't let her drive again . michael : she 's a pro . you 're a pro . you drive better than me , right , joss ? carly : oh . [ chuckles ] elizabeth : carly , dr. webber would like to speak with you . carly : okay . i 'll be right back , okay , honey ? michael : we 'll stay with her . starr : hi . michael : i bet you 're wondering who this pretty girl is , are n't you ? well , i 'll let you in on a little secret . she 's actually my girlfriend . yeah , her name 's starr , like a star in the sky . starr : hi , josslyn . josslyn : hi , starr . starr : hi . it 's nice to meet you . you remind me of a little girl that i used to know . josslyn : who ? steve : we got josslyn and alexis ' blood work back , and ... uh , there 's an indication that they have the same condition . sam : which is what ? steve : it 's definitely not a bug bite . sam : that narrows it down . carly : what is it ? steve : well , i do n't want to alarm you any further , but as far as i can tell , what they have is n't the result of a naturally occurring phenomenon . sam : what does that mean ? steve : [ sighs ] it 's not something we 've seen before , and while it appears not to be contagious , we do n't know how to treat it . shawn : alexis came in here the morning after our pool game . mac : that would have been after our conversation at the floating rib , the one where i encouraged her to go for it . shawn : yeah , said she wanted to talk to me about something , but we got interrupted -- or , more accurately , rosie came in and kissed me . mac : which explains why she backed off . shawn : yeah . mac : unless ... shawn : `` unless `` what ? mac : unless you really are available . t.j. : are you suggesting that shawn go out with your mom ? like , seriously ? molly : i do n't know , but let 's not dismiss this prematurely . t.j. : okay , okay . we can think it through ... and then dismiss it . molly : well , getting them together could be a good thing . t.j. : i mean , i suppose your mom does have a cool side . i mean , the side she keeps hidden in deep , deep , deep -- i mean , down deep -- molly : yeah , yeah , you made your point . t.j. : but on the other hand , your mom is really smart , and , uh , she does n't seem all clingy and phony sweet like rosie . i do n't know . maybe she could be good for shawn . molly : yeah , there 's that . but this could be even better for you and me . [ cell phone vibrating ] trey : thirsty ? kristina : oh , thanks . trey : mm - hmm . so , did you get ahold of molly ? kristina : she 's probably having too much fun on the rides to notice her phone . trey : well , i can go track her down if you want . want me to do that ? kristina : let 's let her have fun . thank you for the offer , though . you 've been really ... really great . trey : just want to help . kristina : just you being here 's helping a lot . but , um ... what 'd you want to talk about that was so important ? trey : oh , it -- it 's nothing . i 'm okay . it 's good . kristina : no , we were gon na talk about it at kelly 's , and we got interrupted , and then you left me that message on my phone . i was about to call you back when this whole thing happened with my mom . trey : yeah . well , that 's where your focus should be is on your mom . my thing can wait . it 's not , you know ... kristina : all i 'm doing is standing around here going crazy . i mean , you could at least distract me . trey : [ chuckles softly ] kristina : okay , now i 'm starting to worry . did something happen ? trey : okay . the production company for `` mob princess `` is gon na sue me if i do n't deliver a series . kristina : production company ? i thought your dad was the main investor . trey : he was -- is -- but he did n't have enough to cover all the costs , so , you know , i did this deal with this company in exchange for some rights . and i -- i thought that , if i pulled the plug , that i could i still get his money back . kristina : that 's not the case ? trey : no . they own his investments , and ... he 's gon na go bankrupt unless i deliver 10 episodes of `` mob princess `` ... plus a wedding . kristina : a - a w - wedding ? trey : yeah , the producers , they want me -- they want me to marry you . mcbain : so , how long since this place has been occupied ? jason : nikolas has been gone for more than a year , and keenan moved out a few months ago . mcbain : does n't exactly feel abandoned , does it ? and either these people have a world - class caretaker or ... someone else has been here . jason : let 's start looking around . mcbain : yeah . then again , it could be disease central . you know , might be nice if we had a doctor with us -- you know , a real doctor -- before we go any further . jason : you want to call the cdc ? mcbain : that 's a good call . might take them a little long to get here . i 'd settle for anyone you knew in port charles that 's good with contaminants and biohazards . you know any -- [ cell phone rings ] mcbain : excuse me . mcbain . joe jr. : i tell you , the only good thing about lock - up is i think i lost a little weight , huh ?

`` nice `` ? `` not that bad `` ? `` distinctive `` ? even `` vicker man `` got better reviews . shawn : well , it 's a good thing you 're not the one dating her . t.j. : might as well be . why do i have to dragged along when she wants to go antiquing ? molly : i actually like the antiquing . t.j. : why ca n't you guys have a nice , romantic dinner for two ? why do i have to be there so she can force - feed me quiche ? shawn : there 's nothing wrong with her quiche . molly likes it , right ? molly : well , um ... it 's just she makes hers vegan , and quiche usually has eggs in it , so ... shawn : [ sighs ] t.j. : you can do so much better , man . you need someone with some life ... some surprise ... some challenge . now , where can we find you someone who fits that description ? alexis : you know , i 'm probably just dehydrated 'cause it 's been really hot . sam : steve is concerned about that red mark . he 's waiting on your blood work . mom ? hey . come on . stay with me . alexis : honey , i 'm sorry . i really -- i ca n't keep my eyes open . sam : i know -- i know you 're tired , but i need you to stay with me for a minute , okay ? in the past few days , have you experienced any dizzy spells ? alexis : [ sighs ] mnh - mnh . sam : no ? not light - headed or anything ? alexis : nothing . sam : are you sure the first time you fainted was at wyndemere ? jason : all right , from what sam said , alexis passed out in this room . main : so , how do alexis and josslyn contract the same disease at the same time in opposite sides of the town ? jason : i do n't know . but i do n't believe for a second that josslyn left the house on her own . mcbain : agreed . so someone broke in to carly 's house , and they took josslyn . the question is , what was the point ? elizabeth : josslyn , i have something for you . it 's nice and cool to help you feel better . want to put that on her head ? carly : yes . elizabeth : you have been such a good little patient . and you know what good little patients get ? lollipops ! carly : wow . what do you say ? josslyn : thank you . carly : yeah . the last time you were here , you were too little for lollipops . elizabeth : [ sighs ] that 's right . i remember . and everyone was so upset that you were stuck in this hospital bed . and the doctors worked really hard to get you better . carly : you know , elizabeth helped a lot . you know how we talk about jake and how jake helped you get better and how you have a piece of him inside of you ? this is jake 's mommy . and we 're really grateful . elizabeth : you 're welcome . jerry : how is joe iii ? or does he prefer `` trey `` ? joe jr. : how the hell do you know about him ? jerry : oh , i make it a point to know everything there is to know about my would - be associates , inside and out . joe jr. : i 'll get you the people you need , but i do n't want my boy anywhere near this . if trey gets hurt -- jerry : do what i ask in a timely manner ... and your son will not be involved . but if you 're so concerned about your boy 's safety , advise him to stay clear of sonny corinthos . joe jr. : trey 's in no danger from sonny . jerry : i take it you 're relying on trey 's relationship with sonny 's daughter kristina to ease the way . joe jr. : she 's part of it . jerry : i wonder , does your son have any idea to the extent of which you 're using him ... and how far you 'll go to destroy all things corinthos ? trey : wait . your mom 's sick ? kristina : she fainted . they 're still trying to figure out what 's wrong . michael : it could just be a bug bite , but after everything that josslyn went through with cancer and the transplant , my mom just ... she wants to be really sure about this . starr : i 'll be right there . trey : kristina 's mom 's in the hospital . starr : so is michael 's little sister . trey : i 'll drive . starr : okay . oh , i have to get something first . mac : hi . molly : hey . mac : hey , shawn . shawn : hi . how 's life after the pcpd ? mac : oh , not bad , actually . you know , it turns out i do n't miss murders , burglaries , or organized crime as much as i thought . shawn : yeah . so what are you doing ? you taking some time off ? you got any other prospects ? mac : truthfully , i am perfectly happy at the floating rib . you know , i used to own a bar / restaurant , and it 's kind of fun getting back in touch with my roots . but i really ca n't pass up on the burgers here . shawn : so you 're working at the floating rib ? mac : yeah . did n't alexis tell you ? shawn : alexis ? mac : well , yeah , i just thought -- [ chuckles ] never mind . shawn : never mind what , man ? mac : well , i just thought you two would have already ... you know . shawn : no . know what ? mac : gone out on a date . sam : do you remember the ride over in the launch or the walk up to the house ? was there anything unusual ? alexis : no . sam : no . did you ... let yourself in or was the door open ? alexis : i do n't know . i , uh ... i must have used my key . sam : okay . were the lights on ? alexis : [ sighs ] i do n't think so . sam : okay . so you used your key , you let yourself in , the lights were off . what happens next ? mom ? do you remember anything that happened at wyndemere before you fainted ? ewen : what are you guys doing here ? jason : you first . ewen : i , uh -- i got a call from the security company -- said there was some kind of break - in . i 've got some stuff in storage here , and i just wanted to check if anything was missing . is -- is that what you guys are doing here ? mcbain : oh , it 's a little more complicated than that , doc . alexis davis got a similar call last night . she came out here and had a seizure . had another one again this morning . ewen : really ? uh , is she going to be all right ? mcbain : she 's been admitted to the hospital . jason : so has a little girl named josslyn jacks . mcbain : they have the same symptoms . jason : what about you , dr. keenan ? you feeling sick ? shawn : hey , so , why would you think alexis and i had gone on a date ? mac : you know what ? forget i said anything . shawn : no , you brought it up . mac : shawn , i clearly had the wrong impression . i should have left it alone . shawn : look , did alexis say something about me ? mac : no . no , she did n't . i did . shawn : so you said something about me and alexis ? mac : alexis stopped by the rib , you know ? and , uh -- i do n't know . we were talking about me getting back with my ex , and conversation eventually turned to alexis and her social life . and i told her about the fact that i heard about her most recent game of strip pool . shawn : [ chuckles ] yeah . mac : since you were her opponent , i -- i mistakenly assumed that maybe something was going on between you two . shawn : and what ? did alexis say that there was ? mac : would you like there to be ? alexis : i walked in to the living room , and [ sighs ] i assumed that the security people were already walking through the house . sam : and then what ? alexis : i woke up on the sofa . sam : okay . how long were you out ? alexis : it could n't have been too long because i got tired and lied down on the sofa . sam : okay . mom , was there anything out of the ordinary ? was there anything out of place ? did you notice an odd sound or smell ? alexis : just dank and musty . even in the summer . sam : what ? what is it ? do you remember something ? jerry : are you certain it 's wise to leave your son in the proximity of sonny corinthos ? he has a notoriously short temper . although he insists that he does n't target children , your son trey 's hardly a toddler . joe jr. : you take care of your business , jerry . i 'll take care of mine . jerry : well , fortunately , our businesses will dovetail quite nicely . joe jr. : i would n't know , considering you 've not told me a single thing about what you 're doing . jerry : well , you agreed to provide me with a team of professionals . joe jr. : ca n't make the arrangements if i 'm stuck in here . guard : it 's your lucky day , scully . you 're getting out . jerry : you were saying ? jason : seriously , dr. keenan , i asked how you 're feeling . ewen : no , i - i 'm fine . uh , why ? why would n't i be ? mcbain : whatever led to alexis ' and josslyn 's hospitalization might have originated right here . ewen : but how would i have caught it ? i have n't been here in months . mcbain : well , you and alexis both got calls from the security company , right ? ewen : right . mcbain : well , the calls are bogus . there was no alarm tripped . security company confirmed they never made those calls . ewen : well -- uh , wait . i 'm not sure i quite follow you . mcbain : what 's the point of having all those diplomas , doc ? i mean , obviously , someone tried to lure alexis here . since you got a call , they were trying to lure you here , too . you have any idea who 'd want to do that ? jerry : is n't it convenient ? you 're being released on the very day that i 'm here to provide transportation . fantastic . guard : you can get changed while they finalize your paperwork . jerry : congratulations on your impending freedom . joe jr. : thanks . you know , it 's amazing how fast this all happened once you got involved . jerry : i know , but i had incentive . in this case , time really is money . mcbain : hey , come on , doc , concentrate here , all right ? can you think of anyone that would want to get you and alexis to the island ? ewen : no , not that i can think of . mcbain : no . all right . well , hey , why did n't you come out here last night when you first got the call ? ewen : well , i actually did n't check the message until , um , the morning . mcbain : you mind if i borrow your phone ? ewen : sure . um ... oh , but the -- the message is on my office line . mcbain : oh , that 's too bad . well , i 'm sure the pcpd can send someone over to trace it . ewen : sure . um , just curious -- why do you think that whoever lured alexis out here would be connected to her illness ? jason : we 're looking for any possible link ... between josslyn and alexis . ewen : oh , certainly josslyn could n't have got a call and asked to come out . jason : josslyn does n't have a phone . mcbain : she 's just a little girl . ewen : you 're right . look , i hope you -- you figure out what 's going on . um , if you 'll excuse me . mcbain : hey , doc . you look a little woozy , you know ? you start coming down with something , you make sure you get yourself to the e.r . ewen : of course , yeah . um , i 'll actually head over there now and see if i can be of help . mcbain : mm . [ door opens , closes ] mcbain : kind of a nervous fellow . jason : i 'd say . mcbain : makes me think he 's hiding something . jerry : [ coughing ] [ cell phone rings ] jerry : what ? ewen : you said they 'd be all right . jerry : calm down . ewen : i do n't want to calm down . josslyn and alexis are in hospital because of you , and you need to tell me what you did to them before it 's too late . starr : hey . kristina : i 'm so glad you 're here . starr : michael , how 's your sister doing ? michael : uh , the doctors still do n't know anything . starr : sorry . steve : lizzie , could you get sam and carly ? i have alexis and josslyn 's blood work . elizabeth : and ? what 's going on ? steve : we have a real problem on our hands . molly : t.j. , um ... maybe you should give shawn a break about rosie . t.j. : [ scoffs ] why ? i mean , he obviously does n't like her . molly : then why is he dating her ? t.j. : because she 's there . molly : men ! t.j. : i mean , i get that he 's lonely , but , like , should n't he go out with someone that he actually likes ? molly : sure . but who ? t.j. : if i knew that , we would still be riding roller coasters . molly : well , the only people i know are in high school . and my mother . t.j. : [ laughs ] mac : are you interested in alexis ? shawn : you know what ? i 'm seeing someone , you know ? mac : i 'm sorry . i mean , if i 'd have known , i would n't have pushed alexis into making a move with you . shawn : you pushed her into doing what ? mac : well , like i said , i 've recently gotten back with my ex , and you know how couples like to match everybody up . i may have , uh ... nudged alexis in your direction . i mean , not that it matters . obviously , she chickened out . shawn : or maybe i shot her down before she had the chance . sam : mom ? can you remember what happened ? alexis : thought i could . but it 's gone . sam : get some rest . maybe it 'll come back on its own . alexis : mm . sam : [ sighs ] kristina : i 'm sorry i 'm such a basket case . trey : no . no , no , no . if it were my dad in the e.r . , i 'd be worried , too . kristina : i just do n't want you to think it 's your job to prop me up or anything . trey : no , kristina . no . i 'm right where i want to be , okay ? kristina : this is where i want you to be , too . michael : these tests are taking forever . starr : i 'm sure the doctors are doing everything they can . michael : i do n't know who i feel worse for -- my mom or josslyn . you know , josslyn had a kidney transplant a little more than a year ago , and she was in the hospital for a few weeks , and ... we kept telling her that she was gon na be okay . and now here she is -- back at the hospital . and now they 're drawing her blood . you know , and she 's doing really good . she 's not fighting the nurses , she 's not crying . i just -- i just wish i could take this on for her , you know ? be the one getting stuck with needles and being sick . starr : hey , hey , hey . you 're her big brother . if you tell her she 's gon na be okay , she 'll believe you . michael : i wish that would work for my mom . she 's been in josslyn 's room this whole time . she 's acting all cheerful , but i know underneath that , she 's terrified . so am i . starr : hey . ewen : just tell me what you did to alexis and josslyn so i can help them . jerry : they 're not your concern . ewen : they are my concern . i 'm your accomplice . jerry : be a great comfort to you that the ultimate responsibility will be mine . ewen : please . i just want to help them . jerry : i assure you , i 'm monitoring the situation . ewen : are you monitoring what 's going on at wyndemere ? jason morgan is here with the police , and they know alexis was lured here last night , and ... well , soon enough , they 'll know everything else . mcbain : so , what kind of personal items do you think the doc left behind ? could n't have been real important , considering he rushed off like that . did n't even bother to check on them . you notice how he was n't real concerned when he found out the calls from the security company were bogus ? jason : 'cause he 's lying . mcbain : ' course he 's lying . question is , why is he lying ? we need to find out what the doc 's hiding and how does it relate to josslyn and alexis . jerry : i did n't anticipate that jason would put the pieces together so quickly . what did you say when he confronted you ? ewen : no , the cop did all the talking . jason barely spoke . jerry : and i hope you followed his example and kept your mouth shut . ewen : well , that might have been a little suspicious , do n't you think ? jerry : lose the attitude and tell me exactly what you said . ewen : i - i told them that i 'd had some things in storage out here and that i 'd received the same phone call alexis did about the break - in . jerry : you idiot ! did it not occur to you that they could trace you ? ewen : well , maybe you should have thought of that first before you lured alexis out here in the first place . jerry : i do n't have time for regrets . i 'm gon na have to speed up my timetable . ewen : to hell with your timetable . i 'm going to the hospital right now and i 'll find out what you did to josslyn and alexis ... and i 'll reverse it . jerry : that would be extremely unwise ... not to mention very futile . kristina : how 's mom ? sam : resting . i think she -- steve : uh , sam , can i have a word ? kristina : go . i 'll keep an eye on mom . sam : okay . she 's gon na be fine . michael : hey , mom . carly : hey . michael : i hope you do n't mind . i called starr . carly : no , i do n't mind . we can use all the support we can get . we 're just trying to , um , bring her fever down , huh , baby ? yeah . michael : joss ... you just , uh , got to hang in there a little longer , okay ? let the doctors make you feel all better , and i can take you out on the boat . hey , i 'll , uh -- i 'll even let you drive again . carly : no , you wo n't let her drive again . michael : she 's a pro . you 're a pro . you drive better than me , right , joss ? carly : oh . [ chuckles ] elizabeth : carly , dr. webber would like to speak with you . carly : okay . i 'll be right back , okay , honey ? michael : we 'll stay with her . starr : hi . michael : i bet you 're wondering who this pretty girl is , are n't you ? well , i 'll let you in on a little secret . she 's actually my girlfriend . yeah , her name 's starr , like a star in the sky . starr : hi , josslyn . josslyn : hi , starr . starr : hi . it 's nice to meet you . you remind me of a little girl that i used to know . josslyn : who ? steve : we got josslyn and alexis ' blood work back , and ... uh , there 's an indication that they have the same condition . sam : which is what ? steve : it 's definitely not a bug bite . sam : that narrows it down . carly : what is it ? steve : well , i do n't want to alarm you any further , but as far as i can tell , what they have is n't the result of a naturally occurring phenomenon . sam : what does that mean ? steve : [ sighs ] it 's not something we 've seen before , and while it appears not to be contagious , we do n't know how to treat it . shawn : alexis came in here the morning after our pool game . mac : that would have been after our conversation at the floating rib , the one where i encouraged her to go for it . shawn : yeah , said she wanted to talk to me about something , but we got interrupted -- or , more accurately , rosie came in and kissed me . mac : which explains why she backed off . shawn : yeah . mac : unless ... shawn : `` unless `` what ? mac : unless you really are available . t.j. : are you suggesting that shawn go out with your mom ? like , seriously ? molly : i do n't know , but let 's not dismiss this prematurely . t.j. : okay , okay . we can think it through ... and then dismiss it . molly : well , getting them together could be a good thing . t.j. : i mean , i suppose your mom does have a cool side . i mean , the side she keeps hidden in deep , deep , deep -- i mean , down deep -- molly : yeah , yeah , you made your point . t.j. : but on the other hand , your mom is really smart , and , uh , she does n't seem all clingy and phony sweet like rosie . i do n't know . maybe she could be good for shawn . molly : yeah , there 's that . but this could be even better for you and me . [ cell phone vibrating ] trey : thirsty ? kristina : oh , thanks . trey : mm - hmm . so , did you get ahold of molly ? kristina : she 's probably having too much fun on the rides to notice her phone . trey : well , i can go track her down if you want . want me to do that ? kristina : let 's let her have fun . thank you for the offer , though . you 've been really ... really great . trey : just want to help . kristina : just you being here 's helping a lot . but , um ... what 'd you want to talk about that was so important ? trey : oh , it -- it 's nothing . i 'm okay . it 's good . kristina : no , we were gon na talk about it at kelly 's , and we got interrupted , and then you left me that message on my phone . i was about to call you back when this whole thing happened with my mom . trey : yeah . well , that 's where your focus should be is on your mom . my thing can wait . it 's not , you know ... kristina : all i 'm doing is standing around here going crazy . i mean , you could at least distract me . trey : [ chuckles softly ] kristina : okay , now i 'm starting to worry . did something happen ? trey : okay . the production company for `` mob princess `` is gon na sue me if i do n't deliver a series . kristina : production company ? i thought your dad was the main investor . trey : he was -- is -- but he did n't have enough to cover all the costs , so , you know , i did this deal with this company in exchange for some rights . and i -- i thought that , if i pulled the plug , that i could i still get his money back . kristina : that 's not the case ? trey : no . they own his investments , and ... he 's gon na go bankrupt unless i deliver 10 episodes of `` mob princess `` ... plus a wedding . kristina : a - a w - wedding ? trey : yeah , the producers , they want me -- they want me to marry you . mcbain : so , how long since this place has been occupied ? jason : nikolas has been gone for more than a year , and keenan moved out a few months ago . mcbain : does n't exactly feel abandoned , does it ? and either these people have a world - class caretaker or ... someone else has been here . jason : let 's start looking around . mcbain : yeah . then again , it could be disease central . you know , might be nice if we had a doctor with us -- you know , a real doctor -- before we go any further . jason : you want to call the cdc ? mcbain : that 's a good call . might take them a little long to get here . i 'd settle for anyone you knew in port charles that 's good with contaminants and biohazards . you know any -- [ cell phone rings ] mcbain : excuse me . mcbain . joe jr. : i tell you , the only good thing about lock - up is i think i lost a little weight , huh ?

[ suspenseful music ] belle : chad , listen . i know this is cold comfort and maybe you 're not ready to hear this yet , but to blame yourself for this ... please , do n't do that to yourself . i 've learned the hard way that sometimes ... love just is n't enough . chad : i do n't understand what that means . belle : it means that no matter how much you love someone , no matter how much you care ... [ somber music ] belle : chad , abigail had an illness . it was inherited . it was hidden deep inside of her way before the two of you ever got together , and far before she ever met ben weston . chad : but that son of a bitch was her pathway to hell . with the mind games and the torture . i hope he rots in hell or at the very least in jail for the rest of his damn life . belle : there 's a really good possibility of that . chad ... not just for your sake , but for your sons , you have to let go of this idea that you could have saved abigail from herself . you have to let go of that guilt . chad : but you do n't understand . that beautiful , smart , amazing , wonderful woman trusted me to take care of her , and i failed her . i let her stay in that institution where she felt trapped and even more depressed and alone . [ exhales ] [ sniffles ] belle : how did you fail her ? chad : i just , you know , i let it go on . belle : it was n't up to you to decide whether she should have stayed there . the psychiatrists make those decisions . these are people who are trained to treat mental illness . chad : but i could have found a better doctor or hospital . i could have done something m -- i should have done something more before she felt like she had to escape . belle : see ... [ clears throat ] i ca n't even imagine how devastating this loss must be for you . i get it . i get it . you 've put everything you had into trying to make abigail well , and trying to keep your family together . chad : [ sniffles ] belle : but you know , you ca n't let this tragedy destroy the family you have left . this is your baby boy . abigail 's son . he needs you . you need him . and if you stop fighting for him , you will lose him too . chad : yeah , but maybe it 's for the best .

( announcer ) are you dealing with hot flashes during menopause ? eve : like i said , it 's best just to move on and let go . trying to hang on to a guy like that , it 's never gon na work . paige : no , seriously , mom , he still loves me , okay ? i could -- i could see it in his eyes . it was in his voice . eve : i just do n't want you to get hurt ... paige : he loves me ! eve : any more than you already are , honey . look at you -- you 're upset . paige : okay , mom , i know that you 're trying to be protective of me , but you do n't have to be . i can take care of myself , okay ? and we 're just -- we 're not gon na talk about this anymore . eve : well , i think that we should talk about it , 'cause obviously you 're upset about this . paige : no , you know , i have a study date with daphne , and i have to go , okay ? so i 'll see you later . eve : paige , come on . i just -- [ sighs ] [ grunts loudly ] that little bastard . abigail : hey , look at me , jj . you ca n't do this , all right ? you can not let what dad did ruin things for you and paige . jj : it already has . i - i mean , i do n't see how it can ever go back to where we were . abigail : yes , it can . of course it can , jj . listen ... jack deveraux was my dad too , okay ? and if anyone understands how this is affecting you , it 's me . i mean , i think that maybe it 'll help you to know that i felt exactly like you do right now a while ago . it felt like my dad was capable of doing something so ... so horrible and disgraceful , and i was his kid , that ... somehow i figured that kind of thing , it just -- it got passed down to me or something . jj : does n't it ? abigail : no . no , it does n't , jj , because what dad did -- it was n't about who he was . do n't you see that ? it ... listen ... what happened ... happened because circumstances led dad down a very self - destructive path , and he was totally lost for a while . but , my god , he was so regretful about that . he did everything in his power to turn his life around . he devoted himself , heart and soul , to being a better person ... and he did . he did become a better person because he has a good heart . if dad had any idea that what he did was causing you to lose faith in yourself , my god , that ... that would break his heart into a million pieces , jj , because he loved you so much . he really did . he loved both of us . and what dad would want , i think more than anything , would be to know that his children were living their lives without shame . jj : it 's too late for that . abigail : no , it 's not . it 's not too late ... because you ... you are a wonderful and loving , amazing person . and ... you know , you and paige ... god , whenever you guys are even in the same room together , anyone that 's around you can see how much you guys care about each other . so ... do n't let her go , okay ? because you ... did nothing wrong . and you deserve ... to be happy . theresa : look , i do n't know what you think you can get away with here , brady . brady : all right , take a breath . take a breath . listen , first of all , i 'm sorry if what i said to victor made trouble with your father . that was not my intention , all right ? and i will tell my grandfather in no uncertain terms to back off . theresa : fine . blame it on victor . but then you still had to show up here today to get your jollies , right , hmm ? brady : theresa , i am on the board . i have a meeting here today . i hoped that i would n't run into you , let alone say anything to you or have to talk to you . what we agreed on is the best thing -- no contact . i understand we are gon na see each other around town , but i am hoping that it wo n't turn into a scene like it did now . okay ? theresa : well , maybe you could text me before you come . brady : i 'm not gon na text you . no contact . if something pops up , we 'll deal with it , hopefully better than we did today . i have a meeting . theresa : you know , brady , i know that you think i am this horrible person and you ca n't wait to get rid of me . but the truth is , whether you 'd like to admit it or not , i am the best thing that ever happened to you , brady , and you blew it . chad : if i said i 'll get to it , i 'll get to it . back off . what is it with you and the eavesdropping routine ? you think you can just ... tad : dude , it was an accident , really . chad : play spy around me and it 's not gon na matter ? how much do you like your job ? tad : i was bussing this table . you were on the phone . i could n't help but overhearing . chad , seriously , i 'm not eavesdropping . chad : i - i 'm sorry , t. i should n't have gone after you like that . you did n't do anything wrong . i 've just been under a lot of stress . tad : must be . yeah , that 's , uh -- that 's a hell of a job . chad : listen , t , no one , and i mean no one , can know about this . it involves stocks , bonds , s.e.c . , lawsuits , all kind of corporate crap . are we clear ? tad : yeah , yeah . no problem , man . mum 's the word . chad : good . tad : but does sonny know that you 're co - ceo -- chad : no . tad : okay . chad : and it stays that way , yeah ? tad : mm - hmm . so i 'm the only person that knows . wow . all right . i wo n't say a word . [ cell phone ringing ] chad : i have a hunch someone else knows . aiden : why do you have this tablet ? hope : i asked if i could use your internet , and you said yes . aiden : i thought you meant my phone . hope : right , because obviously you did n't want me to see what you were checking into , but , hey , i guess ... aiden : hope , there 's been a misunderstanding here . hope : turn about 's fair play , right , right ? i did a search on you , so you do a search on me . but really , honestly , i got to say , this is crass . my money and my net worth really all that important to you , mr. jennings ? aiden : no , it is n't ! hope , you 've gotten this all wrong . hope : have i ? aiden : yes , you have . and i can prove it to you . wisest kid , aiden : okay , i think this will be a better place to talk . people were starting to stare . hope : i simply requested an explanation . why ? aiden : yes , quite adamantly . so here it is . this is not my tablet . hope : oh , i see . that came out of your briefcase , but it 's not yours , right ? aiden : that 's right . it 's chase 's . look , i 'll show you . see ? i do not play these games . and american history -- it 's not in my homework folder . hope : oh . i see . so you were n't the one checking out my finances . aiden : no , that was chase . and believe me , i will be talking to him about this tonight . i am so sorry . it 's just he 's in this weird place right now . money , wealth -- it 's just some strange , new fascination . hope : yeah , ciara 's going through a similar thing . i 'm so sorry . i did n't mean to jump on you . aiden : no , no , no , it 's okay . hope : no , no , it 's not okay . i jumped to a conclusion , and it was terribly insulting . i 'm sorry . aiden : relax , it 's okay . hope : [ sighs ] wait a minute . now that i think of it , you did n't know anything about my financial situation till ciara and i were going to new orleans and she blurted it out . [ chuckles ] and that was after we realized we were ... getting closer . aiden : closer than we knew . full disclosure ... i knew you were wealthy before that . brady : you think you 're the best thing that ever happened to me ? okay , let 's -- let 's take a look at that . you lied to me from the get - go . you never stopped . you dragged me into bed while i was drunk . you bought me drugs , and then you hit my father in the head and put him in a coma . how are you the best thing for me , again ? theresa : hey , you know what ? if all you want to do is remember the bad stuff , be my guest . i never said i was perfect . but i made you happy , brady . and while we 're remembering , let 's be clear , you knew who i was from the very beginning . what , you called me out in front of the whole a.a. meeting , what , the second time we met ? i was bad to the bone , and you loved it . brady : [ scoffs ] theresa : you loved the excitement and the sex and the thrills , the whole nine yards . and deep down , i think you still do . brady : hmm . you are delusional . i 've moved on , theresa . theresa : i do n't think you have . but you know what ? i have . [ knocking at door ] jj : okay . okay , okay . eve : what the hell do you think you 're trying to pull ? maggie : so just add everything in order . abigail : okay . maggie : and dill -- it 's an herb , so you will add that at the last minute . abigail : okay , got it . maggie : there you go . abigail : ah , it sounds so delicious . maggie : it is . are you gon na be making this tonight ? abigail : yeah , yeah . my mom does n't get in till pretty late , like 10 : 00 or something , so , uh , i thought it 'd be a nice surprise . maggie : she must have been so thrilled when she found out that you were gon na be working with her again . abigail : oh , my gosh , maggie , she was so excited . she let out this big squeal and everything . i think it really made her day . maggie : wonderful . abigail : yeah , in fact , it 's so funny , because she was just the other night toying with the idea of leaving and going to this corporate job . maggie : because she and daniel were ... abigail : yeah , right . i do n't know . i - i still hope they find a way to work things out , but -- maggie : mm . it does n't seem too likely . so tell me , how did you wind up getting your job back ? abigail : oh , um , actually , uh , chad got me my job back ... which makes things a little complicated . chad : father ... hello . stefano : when were you planning on telling me ? chad : i was n't . i thought it 'd be best if you found out on your own . stefano : uh - huh . so you 've been working with katerina all along , huh ? chad : yep . and the way things kept playing out , i figured kate was my best bet for a power grab , and i took it . i know you think i betrayed you , and you hate me for it , but i had to look out for myself . stefano : is that what you thought ? [ chuckles ] well , my son , you made a huge mistake . aiden : okay , here . hope : [ sighs ] aiden : right before the , uh , night of the gala , father louie spilled the beans about your donation . hope : what ? aiden : mm . hope : well , okay , but he did n't tell you the amount . aiden : that slipped out too . hope : what ? seriously ? aiden : listen , do n't be too hard on him , okay ? he was just working me . he knows how competitive i can be , and he knew that i would match your donation , plus throw in 10 % , so ... hope : nice . aiden : yeah , well , but , hey , i 'm not trying to brag here , okay ? hope : uh - huh . aiden : and i should n't have outed father louie , but i just wanted you to know , judging from the size of your donation -- hope : that i was incredibly rich , and from that day forward , you were in love . right ? aiden : that already happened , remember ? hope : i do . aiden : hmm . there are many , many things that fascinate me about you , hope brady . but your money is not even on my radar . hope : what is on your radar ? aiden : you are . theresa : no , it did n't take me more than two seconds to get over you , brady . and this new guy i met , he is super hot and super rich , and he 's got talents you can only dream of having . brady : you know , that 's good . i know those things mean a lot to you . theresa : and you know what the greatest thing is ? he is crazy about me . and believe me , the feeling is mutual . so do n't think that i 'll be waiting by my phone for you to call when you sort out your latest little problem , whatever that is , all right ? brady : i do n't expect you -- theresa : and the best thing about him is that he earns his own money . he 's not some lame trust - fund baby . brady : oh . well , that 's good . that 's good . i mean , i hope it all works out for you . theresa : oh , it will . count on it . so next time you stop by the hospital , do n't worry about running into me ... 'cause we 're done . brady : [ scoffs ] paige : so my mom 's like , `` if jj wants to break up , let him `` ... 'cause that 's what she wants . daphne : okay , well , she never liked you and jj being together in the first place . why are you surprised she wants you to break up ? paige : because just yesterday she said she 'd give us another chance . now she does a complete 180 and starts telling me that i should just give up on him ... just when he needs me the most ?

and if anyone understands how this is affecting you , it 's me . i mean , i think that maybe it 'll help you to know that i felt exactly like you do right now a while ago . it felt like my dad was capable of doing something so ... so horrible and disgraceful , and i was his kid , that ... somehow i figured that kind of thing , it just -- it got passed down to me or something . jj : does n't it ? abigail : no . no , it does n't , jj , because what dad did -- it was n't about who he was . do n't you see that ? it ... listen ... what happened ... happened because circumstances led dad down a very self - destructive path , and he was totally lost for a while . but , my god , he was so regretful about that . he did everything in his power to turn his life around . he devoted himself , heart and soul , to being a better person ... and he did . he did become a better person because he has a good heart . if dad had any idea that what he did was causing you to lose faith in yourself , my god , that ... that would break his heart into a million pieces , jj , because he loved you so much . he really did . he loved both of us . and what dad would want , i think more than anything , would be to know that his children were living their lives without shame . jj : it 's too late for that . abigail : no , it 's not . it 's not too late ... because you ... you are a wonderful and loving , amazing person . and ... you know , you and paige ... god , whenever you guys are even in the same room together , anyone that 's around you can see how much you guys care about each other . so ... do n't let her go , okay ?

theresa : well , maybe you could text me before you come . brady : i 'm not gon na text you . no contact . if something pops up , we 'll deal with it , hopefully better than we did today . i have a meeting . theresa : you know , brady , i know that you think i am this horrible person and you ca n't wait to get rid of me . but the truth is , whether you 'd like to admit it or not , i am the best thing that ever happened to you , brady , and you blew it . chad : if i said i 'll get to it , i 'll get to it . back off . what is it with you and the eavesdropping routine ?

[ chuckles ] well , my son , you made a huge mistake . aiden : okay , here . hope : [ sighs ] aiden : right before the , uh , night of the gala , father louie spilled the beans about your donation . hope : what ? aiden : mm . hope : well , okay , but he did n't tell you the amount . aiden : that slipped out too . hope : what ? seriously ? aiden : listen , do n't be too hard on him , okay ? he was just working me . he knows how competitive i can be , and he knew that i would match your donation , plus throw in 10 % , so ... hope : nice . aiden : yeah , well , but , hey , i 'm not trying to brag here , okay ? hope : uh - huh . aiden : and i should n't have outed father louie , but i just wanted you to know , judging from the size of your donation -- hope : that i was incredibly rich , and from that day forward , you were in love . right ? aiden : that already happened , remember ? hope : i do . aiden : hmm . there are many , many things that fascinate me about you , hope brady . but your money is not even on my radar . hope : what is on your radar ? aiden : you are . theresa : no , it did n't take me more than two seconds to get over you , brady . and this new guy i met , he is super hot and super rich , and he 's got talents you can only dream of having . brady : you know , that 's good . i know those things mean a lot to you . theresa : and you know what the greatest thing is ? he is crazy about me . and believe me , the feeling is mutual . so do n't think that i 'll be waiting by my phone for you to call when you sort out your latest little problem , whatever that is , all right ? brady : i do n't expect you -- theresa : and the best thing about him is that he earns his own money . he 's not some lame trust - fund baby . brady : oh . well , that 's good . that 's good . i mean , i hope it all works out for you . theresa : oh , it will . count on it . so next time you stop by the hospital , do n't worry about running into me ...

'cause that 's what she wants . daphne : okay , well , she never liked you and jj being together in the first place . why are you surprised she wants you to break up ? paige : because just yesterday she said she 'd give us another chance . now she does a complete 180 and starts telling me that i should just give up on him ... just when he needs me the most ? [ scoffs ] daphne : no disrespect , okay ? but your mom sounds kind of not all there . paige : [ chuckles ] oh , she 's there , believe me . and i think i know why she 's acting so weird . it 's because of a guy . eve : you 're gon na do what you promised , or i 'm gon na know the reason why . apparently you had your little conversation with paige , and you sent her all the wrong signals , jj . jj : okay , i said everything that i was supposed to . i tried my best . eve : well , you know what ? you failed ! okay ? because now she just thinks that she has to be with you , that she has to care for you , that she ca n't let you go because you need her . she is positive you still love her . jj : well , maybe that 's because i do ! abigail : so there 's been this big debate as to why chad went out of his way to help me . maggie : he said he just wanted to make things right , fix what sami did . abigail : yeah , but some people think that chad does n't do anything without an ulterior motive . maggie : and what side do you come down on ? abigail : well , mostly i 've defended him . but i do n't know , aunt maggie . there 's just -- there 's this small voice inside my head that tells me i should listen to what melanie said . maggie : what did she say ? abigail : when chad and i got back together , you know , a while ago , melanie was in london , and i called her to tell her because , you know , we were friends . maggie : of course . not to mention the way things ended between chad and her . abigail : right , exactly . melanie said that , you know , she was n't angry , but she did warn me . she told me to be careful . she said ... that chad , you know , who he was , there were parts of him that no one could ever really know . maggie : and she turned out to be right . abigail : yeah , she did . chad has this -- this dark side . it can be scary . chad : well , you may think i made a mistake , father , but i stand by what i did . so you can threaten all you want , because i 'm not going to -- stefano : listen to me . i did not call to threaten you , all right ? i called to congratulate you . [ chuckles ] chad : what ? stefano : you have no idea how proud you made me . aiden : i 'm sorry . what ? hope : i - i - i even hate to bring it up , but i have to . you gave me such a hard time when you thought that i was spoiling ciara , about those earrings that sami gave her . but , i mean , chase 's tablet , it 's top of the line . it 's very expensive . aiden : okay , okay . yes , i am guilty . i can be a hypocrite sometimes . but just to see him smile , you know ... hope : i 'm a hypocrite too , i guess . i do the same thing . i 'm sorry . i 've said that a lot today . but i am sorry . i did n't mean to jump on you or all over you again . aiden : mm , well , actually , detective brady , i ... like when you jump all over me . i need someone who can challenge me once in a while .

theresa : of course you do . i 'm only pointing out that julian is my baby 's father , a man who does n't even know the first thing about how to love or raise a child to be a decent human being . can you imagine what my child would grow up to be like if julian raised him ? it would be horrible . would you want your child to have julian for a father ? gwen : no , i would n't . ththeresa : no . instead , your baby will be raised by one of the best fathers anyone could ask for , a wonderful role model , someone who will always be there for his baby no matter what . gwen : but will you be there for both of us ? ethan : yes . i already promised you i would be . theresa : all i want is to keep little ethan away from the terrible influence his father will have on him . please , let ethan help my son . i will be grateful for the rest of my life . ethan : i will only be helping her save her son from julian . that is all . theresa : please . you 're going to be a mother yourself soon . i am begging you , gwen , as one mother to another , help me to keep my son . gwen : i hope that i do n't live to regret this decision , theresa . ok . all right . theresa : gwen -- gwen : whatev e ee i think ofououi do knonothat youou ' r a good mher.r . and , of course , you would do a much better job raising little ethan than julian . ethan : thank you . i love you . whitney : i do n't know if i can take much more of this . i mean , i feel like my whole world is falling apart . when is this going to end ?

eve : i 'm not going to let whitney become a singer . i 'm not going to let her get dragged down into that life the way i was . julian : what happened to you does n't have to happen to whitney . she has such a beautiful voice , so much like yours . eve : i do n't care . i'nonot going to let h g g involved in the music industry . i just want her to come home where she belongs . ethan : gwen , i promise you , you have nothing to worry about . theresa : certainly not from me . my only concern is my son . i do n't want julian to get his hands on my baby and raise him to be a pompous , spoiled little version of julian . please , gwen , do n't object to ethan helping me . i swear , i am not after him . i only want him to help me keep my baby . please , say that you will let ethan help me . gwen : theresa , i -- theresa : before you answer , i just -- i just want you to think about how lucky your child is . ok , maybe he wo n't be named ethan , but at least he or she will be fortunate enough thave e eth for a father , and that is far more important than any name . gwen : do n't you think i know that ? theresa : of course you do . i 'm only pointing out that julian is my baby 's father , a man who does n't even know the first thing about how to love or raise a child to be a decent human being . can you imagine what my child would grow up to be like if julian raised him ?

[ chuckles ] i 'm glad it worked out . how 's she doing ? felicia : well , you can go check in with her now . she 's in with mac . he wanted to speak with her privately . maxie : wait . is this some trick that you and nathan came up with to make me doubt my choice to marry levi ? mac : come on , maxie . you know i would never do that to you . maxie : okay . you would n't trick me into calling off my wedding , maybe , but nathan ... mac : that 's not his style , either , is it ? maxie , what i 'm telling you -- it 's the god 's honest truth . maxie : so , he just blurted it out , this declaration of feeling having ? mac : [ chuckling ] actually , i had to pry it out of him . he was very clear about not wanting you to know . maxie : well , if he did n't want to tell you , then why did you force him to ? mac : nathan said it would be rude and selfish for him to tell you . maxie : he was right . so why are you telling me ? mac : just in case knowing what 's in nathan 's heart makes a difference , in case it affects what happens here today with levi . paul : who else would know the value of a rare aztec artifact ? who would even know that it 's in port charles and that i had it ? nathan : this is just a hunch . you think you can i.d . him for me ? paul : detective ... when you 're done looking up your horoscope , would you mind letting me see ? nathan : i - i 'm sorry . is this the man who attacked and robbed you ? nathan : well ? paul : it happened so fast . whoever it was , he hit me from behind . i never even saw him coming . nathan : well , did he speak ? did you hear his voice ? paul : no , i -- [ sighs ] one minute , i was about to make some coffee , the next i 'm coming to on the floor , my place is ransacked . all that was missing was the necklace . i 'm sorry i do n't remember more . i -- nathan : it 's all right . it 's all right . thanks for trying . paul : so , this dude 's marrying felicia scorpio 's daughter , huh ? what 's that about ? nathan : here 's my card . you remember anything , i do n't care how insignificant , you call me right away . paul : okay . hey , uh , maybe down the road , you could , uh , help me out . you know , i could use a department -- nathan : i 'm sending csu to your place right now to gather evidence . in the meantime , you should get that checked out . you need a ride to g.h . ? paul : no . just go question that dunkleman dude . nathan : that 's exactly what i 'm gon na do . paul : hey , you better hurry . the paper says they 're getting hitched any minute . i do n't want him slipping away on his honeymoon with something so valuable . levi : well , i hope mac is finally giving maxie his blessing . it would mean so much to her and to me . felicia : well , i do n't know exactly what he wanted to talk to her about , but i did get a feeling that he 's coming around about this wedding . levi : oh , good . [ chuckles ] 'cause i want maxie to be as joyful about today as i am . felicia : well , nobody 's going to experience any joy if you do n't get out of these clothes and into your tux . you are wearing one , are n't you ? levi : well , if i can figure out how to put the darn thing on . there 's so many parts to it . felicia : dante ... dante : yeah ? felicia : poor levi does n't have a best man , and he does n't know his cummerbund from his studs . can you help him ? dante ? dante : well , it 's a shirt and jacket and pants , just shinier . sure . why not ? lulu : um ... everything is in the state room on the other end of the boat . levi : lead the way , dante . you may not be my best man , but you 're a damn good one . dante : [ sighs ] all right . maxie : so , what ? you 're betraying nathan 's confidence telling me he has feelings for me , hoping i will , what , get -- get flustered and call off my wedding ? mac : maxie , honey , the only thing i 'm hoping for is for you to be happy . maxie : okay , mac , then , really , why say anything ? mac : because it 's only fair to you . maxie : fair ? okay . telling me a man who is not my fiancé has feelings for me on my wedding day -- how is that even remotely fair ? mac : so you 'll have all the facts before you walk down the aisle and say , `` i do . `` maxie , sweetheart , i just do n't want you to have any regrets later on . and , full disclosure , yeah , i like nathan . i like him . i think he 's a special guy . and something tells me you think so , too . maxie : well , i mean , we , like , get along okay . he 's done a few nice things for me . he told me how to make quinoa . and ... lied to a judge for me so i could get custody of my daughter ... even though that did not work . but still , i mean -- mac : even so , i 've seen you two together . maxie : then you 've probably seen us arguing . mac : maxie , there 's something there , something special between you two . am i right ? do you share nathan 's feelings ? silas : drake went out of town with you on a case ? sam : that 's right . silas : obrecht fires him , and now he 's sleuthing around . i guess that 's kind of an interesting second act for him . sam : i needed his medical expertise . silas : oh . cool . did he help you with the case ? sam : come on . you just told me that someone wanted rafe to force patrick and his family , his car , off the road . i think that 's a little bit more important right now , do n't you ? silas : yes , it is . i 'm sorry . sam : okay . i have to call patrick . he needs to know that somebody wanted him and his loved ones dead . silas : [ sighs ] emma : i missed you yesterday . patrick : i missed you , too . emma : you also missed the fun . patrick : did i ? emma : [ chuckles ] yeah , it was kind of crazy with aunt elizabeth finding spencer and everything . patrick : yeah , i can imagine . emma : [ chuckles ] where were you , again ? patrick : i told you . i was helping sam . emma : what were you and sam doing ? patrick : um ... we were just doing some adult stuff . listen , i 'm really sorry that i was n't there for you yesterday . and i 'm really sorry about what 's going on with -- with mommy and i. i know that this is really difficult for you . but you have to know that we love you , okay ? always , and you 're always gon na be our number - one , okay ? emma : okay . patrick : okay . emma : [ sighs ] patrick : are you ready to go to camp ? emma : i guess so . it 's karaoke day . patrick : it is ? emma : mm - hmm . patrick : okay . well , you go warm up your voice , okay ? emma : i will . [ cell phone ringing ] patrick : [ sighs ] robin : how dare you threaten patrick again ? have n't you done enough ? he lost his son because of you . victor : collateral damage . robin : [ scoffs ] that was an innocent little human life . victor : oh , no one was meant to actually get hurt . robin : oh , okay . so , you forced rafe to run my family and sabrina off the road , and nobody was supposed to get hurt ? victor : well , i knew it was going to be a risk , but then what in life is n't ? robin : [ scoffs ] another veiled threat . victor : not really . robin : what , that was n't a threat ? victor : it was n't veiled . it seems that the only way to get you focused on healing my loved ones is to threaten yours . now , unless you can produce some kind of breakthrough soon , i do n't know what 's going to happen to your family this time . robin : you wo n't have to do anything to patrick . because i have had a breakthrough . lulu : so , before i go in there , how is she doing ? is she nervous ? felicia : a little . she seemed -- i do n't know -- unsure . lulu : about marrying levi ? felicia : well , you know , everything 's happening so quickly . but then we had a little talk , and she told me everything about him , and now i 'm just as sure as she is about this wedding . lulu : are you ? felicia : are n't you ? lulu : oh , um ... [ chuckles ] mac has n't come out yet . do you think it 's okay for me to peek my head in ? felicia : yeah , go . i 'm sure mac has to have said everything he needs to say by now . [ chuckles ] nathan : excuse me . felicia ? felicia : nathan . what are you doing here ? now , i want you to know that maxie is at peace with her decision , and seeing you will only upset her . and i do n't want that to happen . nathan : look , i promise i 'm not here to bother maxie . felicia : oh , good . good . well , then , why are you here ? nathan : i need to speak with levi . felicia : why ? what 's this about ? maxie : nathan called immigration on levi , so how could i have feelings for a man who would do something like that ? mac : judge not lest yet be judged . maxie : okay , fine . i used to do stuff like that all the time , but i 've changed . i 'm a -- i 'm a better person now . i would never call immigration on someone 's boyfriend . you know , but , uh , nathan did . and he 's too much of a coward to admit it . he 'd rather pin it on you and dante . mac : he never did any such thing . maxie , you jumped to a conclusion . maxie : okay , maybe , but it -- it was the conclusion that nathan wanted me to jump to . mac : you 're going out of your way to be angry at nathan for things you know he did n't do . maxie : i do know that he called immigration . mac : nathan says he did n't , and i believe him . maxie : the call came from his phone . how could you believe that he did n't make it ? mac : because i think nathan 's the kind of guy that if he made the call , he would own it . come on . think about it . everyone knows nathan ca n't stand levi . you 're convinced he called immigration . you kicked him out of the apartment . you 're marrying levi . maxie : so ? mac : so what does nathan have to lose by admitting it ? maxie , sweetheart , nathan is a good guy . you know , he would n't lie to you . and i think , in your heart of hearts , you know that 's true . maxie : well , then , who made that phone call ? mac : i do n't know . i do n't know . i do n't care . but what i am sure of -- it was n't nathan . so this smokescreen you 're putting up about not being able to have feelings about nathan because he called immigration -- that 's not gon na fly . maxie : okay , well , it does n't matter . it does n't . because i 'm marrying levi . and nathan will be out of my life ... for good . mac : well , i 'm not convinced you 're ready to turn your back on nathan . and i do n't think you are , either . felicia : why do you need to talk to levi ? nathan : did you give your aztec necklace to a reporter named paul murphy in exchange for his camera ? felicia : yeah . why ? nathan : did you tell levi about this exchange ? felicia : yes . turns out he 's an astute student of aztec artifacts . he noticed that my ring and my earrings matched my necklace that i wore to the nurses ' ball , and then i told him what i had done with it . nathan : mm . and when was this ? felicia : a few hours ago . dante : you honestly do n't know your way around a tux ? levi : we all ca n't be james bond , thank goodness . dante : just so we 're clear , i really do n't like you . levi : well , i forgive you for that . dante : oh , good . thanks . levi : and i forgive myself for not liking you . i mean , if we 're gon na make it like we 're mates when we 're not -- well , it 's just another way of lying , is n't it ? dante : yeah , yeah . yeah , i agree with you on that one . levi : excellent . so i think you should take your negativity and go . dante : just want to give you one quick warning . levi : warning ? what about ? dante : you do anything to hurt maxie , i 'll give you so much negativity they wo n't have anything left of you to bury in the outback . silas : no , i 'm -- i 'm not at the hospital yet , but i 'll spin by . how did physical therapy go ? okay . all right . i 'll see you then . sam : patrick 's gon na swing by after he drops emma off at camp . silas : oh . okay . i need to get to the hospital . sam : that 's -- that 's fine . i 'll tell him what you told me . silas : thank you . if you find out anything about ... you know , what happened to rafe , especially who did this , you know -- sam : yeah , of course . i will -- i will let you know . silas , i 'm so sorry . i know how hard this must be for you . rafe -- i mean , he was your nephew . silas : yeah . i just -- i ca n't believe it . who -- who was he mixed up with ? whoever it is , they 're responsible for what happened to rafe , too . sam : i know they are . silas : who could -- who could have done this , sam ? you know , who -- who could have taken that sweet boy and -- and made him do something like this , hurt somebody like this ? victor : a breakthrough ? really ? robin : yes . victor : well , why did n't you mention it right away ? robin : oh , and deprive you of another chance to threaten my family ? victor : well , how do i know you 're just not bluffing to -- to save your daughter and your soon - to - be ex - husband ? i mean , do you have something tangible for me ? robin : [ sighs ] yes . after i saw patrick and i was forced to hurt him and to lie to him and to , uh , break his entire world apart , i stayed up all night working . victor : [ laughs ] good girl . robin : i am not a good girl . okay ? i just want to get this over with before i lose every single thing in my life . sam : i hate to bring this up , but do you think that this could have anything to do with rafe 's drug use ? silas : apparently , rafe did owe a dealer . sam : okay . so , maybe someone offered him enough money , and he needed to pay back the dealer , so he agreed . silas : i just do n't think rafe would do something like that for money . sam : no . under normal circumstances , absolutely not . but , silas , drugs change who you are . silas : i should have seen that he was in trouble . sam : yeah , me , too . i mean , we -- we both missed it . silas : and now he 's gone . sam : silas ... [ knock on door ] sam : patrick . patrick : hi . sam : hey . come in , please . patrick : thank you . everything all right ? sam : um ... well ... we have something to tell you . it 's about the accident that killed gabriel . victor : perhaps i was too hasty in condemning dr. drake 's visit yesterday . desperation is a great motivator . it ... makes miracles . robin : uh , yes , it does . i stayed up all night tweaking the formula . according to my data and some new calculations , this could be the protocol that works . victor : [ chuckles ] it 'll bring back stavros and helena ? robin : i think so . victor : [ chuckles ] what are we waiting for ? let 's try it on jason now . let 's see if your new concoction actually can awaken that -- that sleeping giant . robin : well , that 's the thing . see , i -- because i have been unsuccessful in trying to revive jason , i was thinking that i would like to try ... this new protocol on helena or stavros first . victor : so , what you 're saying is that you do n't think that this formula would have the desired effect on -- on jason , but that it would on helena and stavros ? robin : exactly . victor : and what is that desired effect ? their deaths ? robin : no , of course not . it -- victor : yes ? robin : [ sighs ] it 's just that i think jason is too far gone . and i 'm not sure that there 's anything i can do to help him . and it 's taken me so long to come up with enough formula for one person , that if it 's not gon na work on jason ... why not try it on helena or stavros ? victor : [ chuckles ] dr. scorpio - drake , i so admire the way you 're trying to manipulate me . it 's adorable . what , i do n't deserve better ? robin : you do n't deserve anything . i deserve to be with my family . victor : and you think i would give you that if you poisoned them ? robin : no . i 'm not trying to do that . victor : you know , what you 're afraid here is that this medicine is too strong . you 're worried that it 's going to kill your hero , jason . robin : [ sighs ] victor : but you know the rules , dr. scorpio - drake . jason is the guinea pig . he 's the canary in the mine . you try the new formula on him first , so if he dies , so be it . but at least it gives a chance for the ones that i love to survive . so now , why do n't you try it on the one that you so love ? robin : listen , victor , i just need a little bit more time . victor : no . robin : okay ? to adjust it for jason 's constitution . victor : just minutes ago , you said it was going to be all right . robin : please , victor , i just need one more -- victor : no ! not one more day ! it 's time for jason to take the medicine now . patrick : hold on . are you saying that somebody targeted emma , sabrina , and me ? sam : it seems that way . yes . patrick : who would do that ? who would deliberately try and hurt a pregnant woman and -- and a child ? sam : patrick , we do n't have those answers yet . patrick : and why would rafe do this ? i mean , who the hell is your nephew running around with ? silas : i do n't know . i want to find out as badly as you do . i 'm sorry i did n't keep a better eye on my -- my nephew . patrick : no , it -- look , i know that you did n't kill my son anymore than i killed your nephew . silas : let me know if you find anything out . sam : yeah , of course i will . i am so sorry . hey . it 's gon na be okay . patrick : how , sam ? how 's the fact that somebody wants me and my family dead gon na be okay ? sam : [ sighs ] mac : nathan cares about you a lot . and you could be passing him by , levi or no levi . i mean , is that what you really want ? look , if you 're having second thoughts , just let me know , okay ? i will take care of everything . it 'll all be okay . i promise . maxie : um ... [ knock on door ] lulu : maxie ? maxie : lulu ! mac : uh , could you give us a minute ? lulu : oh , uh , felicia thought you two might be done . maxie : we are done . mac : no , no , no , we 're not . we 're not . maxie , you have n't told me what you want . maxie : well , what i need to do is -- is finish getting ready . i mean , you do n't want me walking down the aisle with this troll hair , do you ? [ chuckles ] assuming that you 're walking me down the aisle . mac , do i have your blessing ? mac : of course you have my blessing . i will always support you . maxie : thank you . mac : i guess i 'll see you before the wedding march . [ smooches ] lulu : are you okay ? what is going on ? maxie : [ sighs ] dante : oh , hey . let me , uh -- let me get that for you . felicia : oh , no , no . you 're supposed to be helping levi . dante : yeah , i think he 's fine . felicia : set it over there . dante : sure . felicia : thanks . dante : anyway , i think levi 's doing just fine . felicia : i 'm not so sure . dante : oh , yeah ? why ? what do you mean ? felicia : well , nathan -- did you see him ? dante : nathan 's here ? felicia : yeah . he was here and then he just tore down the hall to confront levi about something . [ knock on door ] levi : what the hell ? what does it take to get rid of you ? nathan : more than you got . levi : if you think you 're gon na stop this wedding -- nathan : relax . i 'm not . i just need to ask you where you were an hour ago . levi : i was preparing myself for my nuptials . nathan : mm . right . is that , uh -- is that by stealing your future mother - in- law 's necklace ? levi : what ? what are you talking about ? nathan : oh , save it , dunkleman . felicia told me that you knew she traded that necklace for paul murphy 's camera . levi : who ? nathan : oh , nice try , dunkleman . felicia just happens to tell you that story this morning , and the next thing i know , paul murphy 's walking in to my squad room with a bump on his head , missing one aztec necklace ? levi : so , you think i skipped out on my wedding preparations to go and steal my future mother - in - law 's jewelry ? has your violent job finally gotten to you ? you are delusional , man . nathan : well , if you did n't do it , then you wo n't mind me looking around . sam : hey , anna 's gon na find out who put rafe up to this . patrick : sam , i love anna . you know that . but you 're the one that found silas ' car . it was you that proved that rafe was the one that caused the accident . silas : no , i was only able to do that because of the police report . patrick : i need to ask you something . i know how much you 've done for me already , and i hope i 'm not asking too much . sam : are you kidding me ? no . whatever it is , it 's not too much . patrick : somebody deliberately tried to hurt sabrina and emma and me . and in doing so , they killed my son . i 'm asking you to find out who it was . robin : do n't . it could kill him . victor : you were willing to use it on helena and stavros . robin : please . victor , just wait . victor : i 've waited long enough . now , if jason dies , it 's on you . mac : hey . what did i miss ? dante : well , felicia -- did you know nathan was here ? mac : good for him . dante : what do you mean ? what -- what is this all about ? mac : [ sighs ] i have a pretty good idea . uh , but i was just in maxie 's room , and i did n't see him . felicia : well , he swore he was n't here to see maxie . he needed to see levi . mac : levi ? dante : did he say what it was about ? felicia : no , but he was asking me a lot of questions about my aztec necklace . nathan : are you sure you want to deny knowing anything about this ? levi : i most certainly do . i do n't know how that got there . nathan : [ chuckles ] right , right . it just ended up in your pocket . levi : yes . from when you put it there . i think that you stole it from that journalist and now you 're trying to frame me so that you can have maxie all to yourself . nathan : oh , save it , dunkleman . save it . i got you dead to rights . levi : and you did n't even have a warrant ! nathan : sue me . levi : so , what are you gon na do ? arrest me ? lulu : felicia said that mac wanted to have a private father / daughter chat with you . what happened ? maxie : [ sighs ] mac claims that nathan has feelings for me . lulu : oh . maxie : not just feelings , lulu . feelings feelings ... of the romantic variety . lulu : did mac say anything else ? maxie : yes , that he -- he wanted me to know before i walked down the aisle in case it made me change my mind . i mean , can you believe that ? as if this big reveal is gon na make a difference . lulu : well , is it ? nathan : am i gon na arrest you ? well , let me think about that for a minute . i , uh -- i have you with stolen property taken from a man who says he was just assaulted , so , yeah , i 'm pretty sure i 'm gon na arrest you . levi : i really wish you had n't found that necklace . nathan : yeah , i 'll bet you do . levi : sorry about that , mate . | mac tells maxie that the reason nathan does n't want her to marry levi is that he has romantic feelings for her . maxie wonders why mac felt it necessary to tell her that . he says he wanted her to know in case it affects her decision to marry levi . he asks her if she thinks there is something between nathan and her . the photographer who traded his camera for felicia 's aztec necklace reports the necklace stolen . nathan takes the report . levi has the necklace at the haunted star . felicia ropes dante into helping levi get into his tux . dante stops at levi 's room door , tells him that he does n't like him and is n't going to help him with his tux . he adds that if levi does anything to hurt maxie , dante wo n't leave enough of him to bury in the outback . nathan goes to the boat and asks felicia questions about her necklace , discovering that she told levi the name of the photographer that she traded with . he goes to levi 's room and finds the necklace . levi pulls a gun on nathan . | <s>[INST] [ there 's a portion missing due to a news interruption . we will add it as soon as possible . ] emma : do we have to say goodbye already ?

[ knock on door ] sam : look , i do n't know how i 'm gon na do it , but i am going to prove to silas that nina has been lying about her condition and making a fool of him . mac : there 's something you need to know . maxie : okay . about what ? mac : the way nathan feels about you . maxie : how does nathan feel about -- uh , no . how do you know how nathan feels about me ? mac : i know because nathan came right out and told me . nathan : so , you 're saying someone stole your aztec necklace ? paul : yes . it 's a -- it 's a very valuable family heirloom . nathan : and your family is aztec ? paul : no ! the -- the woman who gave it to me is . nathan : okay , so i just want to be clear . you 're saying someone stole your necklace and the woman who originally gave it to you was aztec ? paul : and according to her , and the internet , it 's worth a ridiculous amount of money , which , clearly , that 's why someone stole it from me . felicia : levi ! what on earth are you doing ? ! maxie : [ scoffs ] when did you talk to nathan , and why are you talking to him about his feelings ? are you guys , like , besties now or something ? mac : no , not exactly , but i like nathan and i respect him . maxie : and that led to forming some sort of support group ? how did this conversation even happen ? mac : we ran into each other this morning at your place . maxie : oh . really ? well , you should n't have , because nathan has no place being there . i kicked him out and changed the locks . mac : so that 's why he knocked . i wondered about that . anyway , he wanted to talk to you . maxie : yeah . i 'm sure he does . look , nathan does n't like levi . that 's why he does n't want me to marry him . mac : that 's not why nathan does n't want you to marry levi . maxie : then what is it ? mac : nathan does n't want you to marry levi because his feelings for you are romantic . nathan : have a seat . so , was the woman who gave that to you named felicia scorpio ? paul : how did you know ? nathan : lucky guess . paul : well , do you think she sent somebody after me to get it back ? i mean , maybe she had second thoughts about parting with something so valuable . nathan : why did she give it to you in the first place ? paul : it was right after the nurses ' ball . i had some choice shots of lucy coe mixing it up with bobbie spencer . miss scorpio traded me the necklace for my camera so i would n't go public with the pictures . oh , i bet that 's it ! nathan : what 's it ? paul : well , she finally realized she traded the necklace for nothing . i ca n't believe she clubbed me over the head ! took back the necklace , kept my camera -- this is gon na blow her bid for mayor wide open . it 's aztec - gate . when i tell my editor about this , he 's -- nathan : hey , hey . i know felicia scorpio . she would never rob you . but i know someone who would . levi : i was just practicing my vows . are n't you a vision . [ smooches ] felicia : oh . you composed your own vows and complimented the mother of the bride . well done . levi : [ chuckles ] well , i aim to please . felicia : [ chuckles ] well , then what are you doing here dressed like this ? why are n't you getting ready ? levi : i got distracted by the deck out there -- the sun beaming down on it , bestowing her bounty . so i went to meditate . felicia : you 're getting married , levi . there 's no time for serenity . levi : we must make time for serenity every day . communing with the golden warmth filled me with more joy than i thought possible . felicia : really ? levi : oh , mother scorpio , you have no idea . [ chuckles ] sam : i , um -- i got to go . patrick : sam , is everything okay ? sam : yeah . we 'll talk later . silas : may i come in ? sam : [ sighs ] i do n't know . this is , uh -- this is a little awkward . the last time i saw you , you were making out with your wife . silas : if it 's any consolation , it 's awkward for me , too . but , you know , i 'm not here to talk about nina . i was hoping to discuss what molly told me last night . sam : molly ? wh - what did she say ? silas : you did n't talk to her ? sam : no . i was , um -- uh , i 've -- i did n't get home until late last night . silas : yeah ? sam : yeah . i was out of town on a case , and by the time i woke up this morning , she was gone . silas : oh , i see . sam : my mom did leave a letter , though , saying that she was bringing molly down to commissioner devane . i was just assuming it was about the house fire . silas : yeah , no , i do n't think it was about that . sam : what happened ? silas : molly remembered something that rafe said to her before the car crashed . sam : okay . what did he tell her ? silas : the crash was n't an accident . someone told rafe to force patrick 's car off the road . emma : mommy , can i ask you something ? robin : of course , baby . anything . what is it ? emma : are you and daddy still getting a divorce ? robin : [ sighs ] yeah , we still are . emma : you and daddy are n't ever gon na be together again ? robin : well , we will see each other , eventually . [ chuckles ] emma : but we 're not gon na be a family anymore . robin : daddy and i love you so much . and you are the most important person to us in the entire world . emma : are n't you and daddy important to each other ? robin : [ sighs ] we are . [ chuckles ] we just ... we ca n't be married anymore . but we will always be your family . okay ? you will always be our little girl , okay ? nothing can change that . nothing -- nothing will ever change that . [ clears throat ] honey , are you okay ? emma : i guess so . do you have to go and help people now ? robin : yeah , i do , but ... i will talk to you tomorrow , okay ? emma : okay . but be careful , mommy . africa can be dangerous . robin : [ chuckles ] yeah . you be careful , too , okay ? i love you . emma : i love you , too . [ smooches ] [ beeps ] victor : adorable child . where was your husband ? robin : oh , he was there , but he , um ... had to take another call . victor : must have been important . robin : [ chuckling ] yeah . probably was . probably was from his divorce attorney . thanks for that , by the way . victor : mm . if only he was as committed to you as you are to him . robin : except he thinks that i 'm choosing to stay here when , as far as he knows , i have no good reason to . victor : well , you should never have told him anything about jason . robin : you did n't give me any choice , as usual . you 're the reason that i had to tell my husband that jason is dead when jason is very much alive . it 's your fault that i had to break my husband 's heart . patrick : you ready to go to camp ? emma : [ crying ] [ sniffles ] patrick : what 's wrong ? emma : how did you and mommy stop loving each other ? how did that happen ? why ? [ crying ] [ scene_break ] victor : you know , the inappropriately righteous are always so quick to divert blame . my dear -- robin : i am not your dear . victor : the only person to blame for having lied to your husband about jason is you . robin : [ chuckling ] oh . how do you figure that ? victor : because you should not have told him about jason in the first place . robin : go to hell ! victor : you know , in point of fact , i do n't care what dr. drake thinks . as a matter of fact , you should n't either , because it becomes a distraction . now , you should just concentrate on your work . otherwise , the longer this takes , the longer it 's going to be -- robin : i know . before i get to go home . victor : what you need to do right now is to focus on bringing jason out of stasis . robin : that is all i have been doing . victor : oh , really ? is that what you were doing when you were teleconferencing with your kid ? how does that help our subjects ? no , dr. scorpio - drake . what you need to do is , as they say , step it up . otherwise , i 'll just have to find some way of arranging another mishap like it happened to your husband last -- what , spring ? robin : do n't even think about it . victor : you know , young rafe may not be with us any longer . but i 'm sure i can find somebody in port charles who does n't care whether patrick lives or dies . sam : so , you 're telling me that someone wanted to force patrick 's car off the road ? silas : molly said rafe told her . sam : do you think it 's true ? silas : why would he lie about something like that ? sam : i do n't know . so molly would n't think that he was entirely responsible for what happened ? silas : maybe . i still think it needs to be checked out so we know one way or the other . sam : yes , yes . of course . i agree . but who would want to hurt patrick , sabrina , and -- and emma ? silas : molly said she asked rafe who put him up to it , and that 's when they crashed , so obviously , she did n't get an answer . sam : okay , well , then maybe that 's why my mom took molly down to the see the commissioner today . silas : yeah . sam : my god . what if it 's true ? silas , what if rafe did cause that accident on purpose ? silas : someone wanted to hurt drake and his family , and they got to rafe . i do n't know how , but they got to him . sam : [ sighs ] i have to tell patrick . silas : he probably already knows . i 'm sure your mom told him last night . sam : i do n't think so . silas : why 's that ? sam : because he was out of town with me . patrick : sometimes adults do things . we do n't really understand why . and we get angry with each other . but we 're never angry at you , okay ? you have n't done anything . emma : i do n't care about that . i just want us all to be together again . patrick : i know you do . i know , baby , but ... right now , mommy and i -- we ... we ca n't be together . emma : [ crying ] i wish mommy could come home like she did when we thought she was in heaven . patrick : well , mommy has to continue her work . that 's the choice that she feels that she needs to make . emma : i wish she could come home , just like spencer did . patrick : yeah . i heard . spencer 's home safe and healthy . that 's good , right ? emma : yeah . patrick : yeah . emma : aunt elizabeth found him . patrick : yeah . emma : aunt felicia and uncle mac looked after me and cameron for a while . patrick : they did ? you guys have fun ? emma : it was cool . patrick : [ chuckles ] yeah ? emma : felicia let me play with her aztec jewels . levi : these are striking . felicia : well , thank you . levi : an impressive reminder of your aztec heritage . felicia : [ chuckles ] well , i 'm very proud of my family 's history . but i do get the feeling that mac and maxie would like it if i did n't mention is quite so often . levi : mention it to me anytime you like . i ca n't get enough . felicia : [ chuckles ] oh , that 's sweet . thank you . oh , there you two are ! i was worried about you . lulu : sorry we 're late . dante : we had something important to discuss . felicia : oh . is everything all right ? lulu : yes . things are perfect . maxie 's life is n't the only one that 's about to change . levi : you two have some news you want to share ? lulu : not right now . it 's maxie 's day , even though i left her to get ready by herself . i 'm a terrible matron of honor . felicia : oh , no , you 're not . it 's fine . i got some well - needed alone time with the bride . really , you did us a favor . lulu : okay . [ chuckles ] i 'm glad it worked out . how 's she doing ? felicia : well , you can go check in with her now . she 's in with mac . he wanted to speak with her privately . maxie : wait . is this some trick that you and nathan came up with to make me doubt my choice to marry levi ? mac : come on , maxie . you know i would never do that to you . maxie : okay . you would n't trick me into calling off my wedding , maybe , but nathan ... mac : that 's not his style , either , is it ? maxie , what i 'm telling you -- it 's the god 's honest truth . maxie : so , he just blurted it out , this declaration of feeling having ? mac : [ chuckling ] actually , i had to pry it out of him . he was very clear about not wanting you to know . maxie : well , if he did n't want to tell you , then why did you force him to ? mac : nathan said it would be rude and selfish for him to tell you . maxie : he was right . so why are you telling me ? mac : just in case knowing what 's in nathan 's heart makes a difference , in case it affects what happens here today with levi . paul : who else would know the value of a rare aztec artifact ? who would even know that it 's in port charles and that i had it ? nathan : this is just a hunch . you think you can i.d . him for me ? paul : detective ... when you 're done looking up your horoscope , would you mind letting me see ? nathan : i - i 'm sorry . is this the man who attacked and robbed you ? nathan : well ? paul : it happened so fast . whoever it was , he hit me from behind . i never even saw him coming . nathan : well , did he speak ? did you hear his voice ? paul : no , i -- [ sighs ] one minute , i was about to make some coffee , the next i 'm coming to on the floor , my place is ransacked . all that was missing was the necklace . i 'm sorry i do n't remember more . i -- nathan : it 's all right . it 's all right . thanks for trying . paul : so , this dude 's marrying felicia scorpio 's daughter , huh ? what 's that about ? nathan : here 's my card . you remember anything , i do n't care how insignificant , you call me right away . paul : okay . hey , uh , maybe down the road , you could , uh , help me out . you know , i could use a department -- nathan : i 'm sending csu to your place right now to gather evidence . in the meantime , you should get that checked out . you need a ride to g.h . ? paul : no . just go question that dunkleman dude . nathan : that 's exactly what i 'm gon na do . paul : hey , you better hurry . the paper says they 're getting hitched any minute . i do n't want him slipping away on his honeymoon with something so valuable . levi : well , i hope mac is finally giving maxie his blessing . it would mean so much to her and to me . felicia : well , i do n't know exactly what he wanted to talk to her about , but i did get a feeling that he 's coming around about this wedding . levi : oh , good . [ chuckles ] 'cause i want maxie to be as joyful about today as i am . felicia : well , nobody 's going to experience any joy if you do n't get out of these clothes and into your tux . you are wearing one , are n't you ? levi : well , if i can figure out how to put the darn thing on . there 's so many parts to it . felicia : dante ... dante : yeah ? felicia : poor levi does n't have a best man , and he does n't know his cummerbund from his studs . can you help him ? dante ? dante : well , it 's a shirt and jacket and pants , just shinier . sure . why not ? lulu : um ... everything is in the state room on the other end of the boat . levi : lead the way , dante . you may not be my best man , but you 're a damn good one . dante : [ sighs ] all right . maxie : so , what ? you 're betraying nathan 's confidence telling me he has feelings for me , hoping i will , what , get -- get flustered and call off my wedding ? mac : maxie , honey , the only thing i 'm hoping for is for you to be happy . maxie : okay , mac , then , really , why say anything ? mac : because it 's only fair to you . maxie : fair ? okay . telling me a man who is not my fiancé has feelings for me on my wedding day -- how is that even remotely fair ? mac : so you 'll have all the facts before you walk down the aisle and say , `` i do . `` maxie , sweetheart , i just do n't want you to have any regrets later on . and , full disclosure , yeah , i like nathan . i like him . i think he 's a special guy . and something tells me you think so , too . maxie : well , i mean , we , like , get along okay . he 's done a few nice things for me . he told me how to make quinoa . and ... lied to a judge for me so i could get custody of my daughter ... even though that did not work . but still , i mean -- mac : even so , i 've seen you two together . maxie : then you 've probably seen us arguing . mac : maxie , there 's something there , something special between you two . am i right ? do you share nathan 's feelings ? silas : drake went out of town with you on a case ? sam : that 's right . silas : obrecht fires him , and now he 's sleuthing around . i guess that 's kind of an interesting second act for him . sam : i needed his medical expertise . silas : oh . cool . did he help you with the case ? sam : come on . you just told me that someone wanted rafe to force patrick and his family , his car , off the road . i think that 's a little bit more important right now , do n't you ? silas : yes , it is . i 'm sorry . sam : okay . i have to call patrick . he needs to know that somebody wanted him and his loved ones dead . silas : [ sighs ] emma : i missed you yesterday . patrick : i missed you , too . emma : you also missed the fun . patrick : did i ? emma : [ chuckles ] yeah , it was kind of crazy with aunt elizabeth finding spencer and everything . patrick : yeah , i can imagine . emma : [ chuckles ] where were you , again ? patrick : i told you . i was helping sam . emma : what were you and sam doing ? patrick : um ... we were just doing some adult stuff . listen , i 'm really sorry that i was n't there for you yesterday . and i 'm really sorry about what 's going on with -- with mommy and i. i know that this is really difficult for you . but you have to know that we love you , okay ? always , and you 're always gon na be our number - one , okay ? emma : okay . patrick : okay . emma : [ sighs ] patrick : are you ready to go to camp ? emma : i guess so . it 's karaoke day . patrick : it is ? emma : mm - hmm . patrick : okay . well , you go warm up your voice , okay ? emma : i will . [ cell phone ringing ] patrick : [ sighs ] robin : how dare you threaten patrick again ? have n't you done enough ? he lost his son because of you . victor : collateral damage . robin : [ scoffs ] that was an innocent little human life . victor : oh , no one was meant to actually get hurt . robin : oh , okay . so , you forced rafe to run my family and sabrina off the road , and nobody was supposed to get hurt ? victor : well , i knew it was going to be a risk , but then what in life is n't ? robin : [ scoffs ] another veiled threat . victor : not really . robin : what , that was n't a threat ? victor : it was n't veiled . it seems that the only way to get you focused on healing my loved ones is to threaten yours . now , unless you can produce some kind of breakthrough soon , i do n't know what 's going to happen to your family this time . robin : you wo n't have to do anything to patrick . because i have had a breakthrough . lulu : so , before i go in there , how is she doing ? is she nervous ? felicia : a little . she seemed -- i do n't know -- unsure . lulu : about marrying levi ? felicia : well , you know , everything 's happening so quickly . but then we had a little talk , and she told me everything about him , and now i 'm just as sure as she is about this wedding . lulu : are you ? felicia : are n't you ? lulu : oh , um ... [ chuckles ] mac has n't come out yet . do you think it 's okay for me to peek my head in ? felicia : yeah , go . i 'm sure mac has to have said everything he needs to say by now . [ chuckles ] nathan : excuse me . felicia ? felicia : nathan . what are you doing here ? now , i want you to know that maxie is at peace with her decision , and seeing you will only upset her . and i do n't want that to happen . nathan : look , i promise i 'm not here to bother maxie . felicia : oh , good . good . well , then , why are you here ? nathan : i need to speak with levi . felicia : why ? what 's this about ? maxie : nathan called immigration on levi , so how could i have feelings for a man who would do something like that ? mac : judge not lest yet be judged . maxie : okay , fine . i used to do stuff like that all the time , but i 've changed . i 'm a -- i 'm a better person now . i would never call immigration on someone 's boyfriend . you know , but , uh , nathan did . and he 's too much of a coward to admit it . he 'd rather pin it on you and dante . mac : he never did any such thing . maxie , you jumped to a conclusion . maxie : okay , maybe , but it -- it was the conclusion that nathan wanted me to jump to . mac : you 're going out of your way to be angry at nathan for things you know he did n't do . maxie : i do know that he called immigration . mac : nathan says he did n't , and i believe him . maxie : the call came from his phone . how could you believe that he did n't make it ? mac : because i think nathan 's the kind of guy that if he made the call , he would own it . come on . think about it . everyone knows nathan ca n't stand levi . you 're convinced he called immigration . you kicked him out of the apartment . you 're marrying levi . maxie : so ? mac : so what does nathan have to lose by admitting it ? maxie , sweetheart , nathan is a good guy . you know , he would n't lie to you . and i think , in your heart of hearts , you know that 's true . maxie : well , then , who made that phone call ? mac : i do n't know . i do n't know . i do n't care . but what i am sure of -- it was n't nathan . so this smokescreen you 're putting up about not being able to have feelings about nathan because he called immigration -- that 's not gon na fly . maxie : okay , well , it does n't matter . it does n't . because i 'm marrying levi . and nathan will be out of my life ... for good . mac : well , i 'm not convinced you 're ready to turn your back on nathan . and i do n't think you are , either . felicia : why do you need to talk to levi ? nathan : did you give your aztec necklace to a reporter named paul murphy in exchange for his camera ? felicia : yeah . why ? nathan : did you tell levi about this exchange ? felicia : yes . turns out he 's an astute student of aztec artifacts . he noticed that my ring and my earrings matched my necklace that i wore to the nurses ' ball , and then i told him what i had done with it . nathan : mm . and when was this ? felicia : a few hours ago . dante : you honestly do n't know your way around a tux ? levi : we all ca n't be james bond , thank goodness . dante : just so we 're clear , i really do n't like you . levi : well , i forgive you for that . dante : oh , good . thanks . levi : and i forgive myself for not liking you . i mean , if we 're gon na make it like we 're mates when we 're not -- well , it 's just another way of lying , is n't it ? dante : yeah , yeah . yeah , i agree with you on that one . levi : excellent . so i think you should take your negativity and go . dante : just want to give you one quick warning . levi : warning ? what about ? dante : you do anything to hurt maxie , i 'll give you so much negativity they wo n't have anything left of you to bury in the outback . silas : no , i 'm -- i 'm not at the hospital yet , but i 'll spin by . how did physical therapy go ? okay . all right . i 'll see you then . sam : patrick 's gon na swing by after he drops emma off at camp . silas : oh . okay . i need to get to the hospital . sam : that 's -- that 's fine . i 'll tell him what you told me . silas : thank you . if you find out anything about ... you know , what happened to rafe , especially who did this , you know -- sam : yeah , of course . i will -- i will let you know . silas , i 'm so sorry . i know how hard this must be for you . rafe -- i mean , he was your nephew . silas : yeah . i just -- i ca n't believe it . who -- who was he mixed up with ? whoever it is , they 're responsible for what happened to rafe , too . sam : i know they are . silas : who could -- who could have done this , sam ? you know , who -- who could have taken that sweet boy and -- and made him do something like this , hurt somebody like this ? victor : a breakthrough ? really ? robin : yes . victor : well , why did n't you mention it right away ? robin : oh , and deprive you of another chance to threaten my family ? victor : well , how do i know you 're just not bluffing to -- to save your daughter and your soon - to - be ex - husband ? i mean , do you have something tangible for me ? robin : [ sighs ] yes . after i saw patrick and i was forced to hurt him and to lie to him and to , uh , break his entire world apart , i stayed up all night working . victor : [ laughs ] good girl . robin : i am not a good girl . okay ? i just want to get this over with before i lose every single thing in my life . sam : i hate to bring this up , but do you think that this could have anything to do with rafe 's drug use ? silas : apparently , rafe did owe a dealer . sam : okay . so , maybe someone offered him enough money , and he needed to pay back the dealer , so he agreed . silas : i just do n't think rafe would do something like that for money . sam : no . under normal circumstances , absolutely not . but , silas , drugs change who you are . silas : i should have seen that he was in trouble . sam : yeah , me , too . i mean , we -- we both missed it . silas : and now he 's gone . sam : silas ... [ knock on door ] sam : patrick . patrick : hi . sam : hey . come in , please . patrick : thank you . everything all right ? sam : um ... well ... we have something to tell you . it 's about the accident that killed gabriel . victor : perhaps i was too hasty in condemning dr. drake 's visit yesterday . desperation is a great motivator . it ... makes miracles . robin : uh , yes , it does . i stayed up all night tweaking the formula . according to my data and some new calculations , this could be the protocol that works . victor : [ chuckles ] it 'll bring back stavros and helena ? robin : i think so . victor : [ chuckles ] what are we waiting for ? let 's try it on jason now . let 's see if your new concoction actually can awaken that -- that sleeping giant . robin : well , that 's the thing . see , i -- because i have been unsuccessful in trying to revive jason , i was thinking that i would like to try ... this new protocol on helena or stavros first . victor : so , what you 're saying is that you do n't think that this formula would have the desired effect on -- on jason , but that it would on helena and stavros ? robin : exactly . victor : and what is that desired effect ? their deaths ? robin : no , of course not . it -- victor : yes ? robin : [ sighs ] it 's just that i think jason is too far gone . and i 'm not sure that there 's anything i can do to help him . and it 's taken me so long to come up with enough formula for one person , that if it 's not gon na work on jason ... why not try it on helena or stavros ? victor : [ chuckles ] dr. scorpio - drake , i so admire the way you 're trying to manipulate me . it 's adorable . what , i do n't deserve better ? robin : you do n't deserve anything . i deserve to be with my family . victor : and you think i would give you that if you poisoned them ? robin : no . i 'm not trying to do that . victor : you know , what you 're afraid here is that this medicine is too strong . you 're worried that it 's going to kill your hero , jason . robin : [ sighs ] victor : but you know the rules , dr. scorpio - drake . jason is the guinea pig . he 's the canary in the mine . you try the new formula on him first , so if he dies , so be it . but at least it gives a chance for the ones that i love to survive . so now , why do n't you try it on the one that you so love ? robin : listen , victor , i just need a little bit more time . victor : no . robin : okay ? to adjust it for jason 's constitution . victor : just minutes ago , you said it was going to be all right . robin : please , victor , i just need one more -- victor : no ! not one more day ! it 's time for jason to take the medicine now . patrick : hold on . are you saying that somebody targeted emma , sabrina , and me ? sam : it seems that way . yes . patrick : who would do that ? who would deliberately try and hurt a pregnant woman and -- and a child ? sam : patrick , we do n't have those answers yet . patrick : and why would rafe do this ? i mean , who the hell is your nephew running around with ? silas : i do n't know . i want to find out as badly as you do . i 'm sorry i did n't keep a better eye on my -- my nephew . patrick : no , it -- look , i know that you did n't kill my son anymore than i killed your nephew . silas : let me know if you find anything out . sam : yeah , of course i will . i am so sorry . hey . it 's gon na be okay . patrick : how , sam ? how 's the fact that somebody wants me and my family dead gon na be okay ? sam : [ sighs ] mac : nathan cares about you a lot . and you could be passing him by , levi or no levi . i mean , is that what you really want ? look , if you 're having second thoughts , just let me know , okay ? i will take care of everything . it 'll all be okay . i promise . maxie : um ... [ knock on door ] lulu : maxie ? maxie : lulu ! mac : uh , could you give us a minute ? lulu : oh , uh , felicia thought you two might be done . maxie : we are done . mac : no , no , no , we 're not . we 're not . maxie , you have n't told me what you want . maxie : well , what i need to do is -- is finish getting ready . i mean , you do n't want me walking down the aisle with this troll hair , do you ?

philip has changed aot over the past few months . he 's mature and responsible . ca n't you see that ? shawn - d : i just wish he would stick closer to the base , make some buddies there . that way , he would stop interfering in our lives . belle : he 's not interfering . shawn , you do n't have to worry about philip . i 'm only interested in one guy , and that 's you . shawn - d : i never thought you were interested in anyone else , so why would you say something like that , especially when we 're talking about philip ? belle : shawn , i 'm just saying that i 'm not interested in anyone else . i 'm not . and i 'll prove it . shawn - d : oh , yeah ? kate : oh ... this is exactly what i needed . roman : you are so tense . how 's that feel ? is that too hard ? kate : no , that feels heavenly . this is the perfect ending to a chaotic day . you know , i went by victor 's earlier because philip told me he was going to be there . and i had to make sure he was still up for the fashion show . and brady was there , and he 's agreed to participate , too . roman : well , it 's , uh , that 's great . kate : yeah . you know , the funny thing -- victor and i got to talking , and we actually had a civil conversation . we talked a little bit about you and me . roman : you know what , kate ? first of all , you and victor get cozy over at the hospital , and then , what , you stop by the house and have a discussion about our relationship ? kate : oh , come on , will you stop ? roman : how detailed did you get ? did you tell him what side of the bed i like to sleep on ? kate : oh , do n't be ridiculous , roman . roman : you know what , kate ? i do n't think i want you seeing victor anymore . kate : who the hell are you to tell me who i can or ca n't see ? sami : vodka tonic ? lucas , are you drinking ? lucas : no . no , i 'm not drinking . that was a joke . i was joking with erin . boy , you 're really gullible , you know that ? uh , erin , just get us a couple iced teas . that 'd be great . thanks . sami : that 's a really sick thing to joke about . lucas : come on . you really think i 'd pollute myself with that poison after all the good i 've done ? no . sami : you still going to those a.a . meetings ? lucas : keep coming back . it works if you work it . sami : you know , i would n't blame you for being tempted . all the stress you 're under , doing all of tony 's business while he 's in the hospital . lucas : yeah , well , uh , you know , cutting deals and making decisions -- that 's a rush for me now . it 's a natural high . the best part about it is , there 's no hangover the next morning . look , i was -- i was testing you before . i wanted to see how you 'd react if you thought i was hitting the bottle again . wanted to see if you were going to try to sue for full custody of will . sami : a couple of months ago , i probably would 've . lucas : but now it 's different . it 's different for me , too ... evever since that day you fell through those french doors and almost died . bo : that ... is what you call a homemade bomb . hope : okay , now what ? bo : now we 'd better find out how volatile this stuff really is . why do n't you stand over there ? hope : be careful , brady . bo : yeah , yeah . whoa . bo : you okay back there ? hope : uh - huh . be careful . bo : yeah , yeah . here we go . whoo ! [ bang ] bo : man . that stuff 's got more kick than nitro . hope : imagine 10 times that amount . bo : yeah , hopefully , it 'll do a lot of damage . hope : no wonder why tony was after it . bo : well , he 's not going to succeed . you ready for the real deal ? hope : you bet i am . bo : now , this bomb is going to ignite the lava there , and with any luck , it 'll close up this cave . hope : we ca n't be in here while that happens , though . fuse . i knew that . bo : let 's do it . only `` global national `` had it . the underpaid just got overpaid . it was over $ 4,000 . government mistake , but it 's these men and women who 'll play for it . another exclusive on `` global national `` . why should i pay for someone else 's mistake ? roman : you know what , kate ? you 're right . you 're right . i 'm sorry . that was out of line . you do n't need me telling you how to live your life . kate : you 're damn right about that . you know something ?

oh , well , apparently not . roman : look , just wait a minute , all right ? kate : you know something ? i do n't need your caveman attitude . i do n't like it , and i 'm not going to stand for it . excuse me . roman : you know what , kate ? i think you do like it . kate : what are you doing ? get your hands off me . roman : well , then prove me wrong . belle : shawn . shawn , stop . we can't . shawn - d : yeah . belle : we made a pledge . shawn - d : well , ca n't we just take these things off ? then , would it -- would it count ? belle : of course it would count . shawn - d : well , are you sure about that ? i think we should check the purity ring rule book , just to be sure . just ... to be -- i 'm just joking with you . i 'm just joking . belle : shawn , i want to wait . do n't you ? shawn - d : yes . yes . i think we -- we should . there 's no reason to rush into things . belle : and you 're not just saying that ? shawn - d : no , why would i -- of coue i 'm not just saying that . we have the rest of our lives to love each other and to make love to each other . all right ? that 's a promise . belle : i 'm going to hold you to that . shawn - d : okay . and i will never stop loving you . lucas : sami , after your accident , you were n't the only one in bad shape . i was a mess . i could n't eat , i could n't sleep . and after watching you fall through those french doors , with all that blood ... it gave me a bad scare -- a really bad scare . and it was all of a sudden , like , snap -- my whole life just turned upside - down . i do n't know . i do n't know . it 's hard to explain , but ... this sounds crazy , does n't it ? sami : no . actually ... ever since then , things have been pretty weird for me , too . i was so convinced that you were the enemy . lucas : i guess i was . but not anymore . sami : no . maybe now we can move forward ... for will 's sake . lucas : yeah , for will 's sake . erin : excuse me . will there be anything else ? lucas : no , erin , that 's fine . you can just put the iced teas on the bar . thank you . sami : so , uh , how about that midnight swim ? lucas : after you . bo : stand back a little bit . hope : be careful . bo : all right . bo : oh , man , it 's not long enough . i was afraid of that . hope : brady , what are you going to do ? bo : well , you go outside , take cover , and wait for me . hope : absolutely not . you said we 're a team . bo : well , i know , but this is too dangerous . you just go out and wait for me . hope : there 's no use arguing . i am staying . gogo on . come on , let 's get the show on the road . bo : you sure you wo n't just go up there and get -- hope : positive . do you want me to do the honors ? give me the matches . bo : no , no , i 'll do it . is the path clear ? would n't want you to trip . hope : that was just one time . i had 4-inch heels on . bo : yeah , yeah , and i 'm not going to let you forget it . okay , you can quit hitting me now . i 'm not sure how big this explosion 's going to be . so once we start running , you just keep running . do n't look back , okay ?

first of all , you and victor get cozy over at the hospital , and then , what , you stop by the house and have a discussion about our relationship ? kate : oh , come on , will you stop ? roman : how detailed did you get ? did you tell him what side of the bed i like to sleep on ? kate : oh , do n't be ridiculous , roman . roman : you know what , kate ? i do n't think i want you seeing victor anymore . kate : who the hell are you to tell me who i can or ca n't see ?

[ sniffs ] we 're just gon na have to prove them wrong . [ scene_break ] [ police radio chatter ] hayden : [ sighs ] stay positive . it 's good for your immune system . [ scene_break ] naomi : from what i understand , elizabeth idolizes her father . if you 're the one to push him off that pedestal , you 'll be the one breaking her heart . franco : she 's a lot tougher than you think . naomi : perhaps . but she did just fall down a flight of stairs . she 's now in a hospital bed . do you really think she 's in any kind of shape to learn that her parents ' idyllic marriage was just an illusion ? franco : i think she deserves the truth . naomi : and that 's a very noble sentiment . but sometimes , a clear conscience only helps the person who 's been keeping the secret . [ scene_break ] [ monitor beeping ] elizabeth : the sooner i get home to my boys , the better . gram told cam and aiden what happened , but jake still does n't know . monica : oh , that 's okay . michael 's gon na tell him right after the wedding . elizabeth : wedding ? monica : oh , uh ...

[ breathes deeply ] franco . [ scene_break ] franco : figures . the one time i try and do the right thing , it turns out it 's potentially the wrong thing to do . so i 'll just wait here and sit until the universe tells me what it is i should do .

[ scene_break ] hayden : you should probably know why i was arrested first . naomi : i do know . hayden : and ? naomi : i 've already spoken to our lawyers . now [ scoffs ] it 's not gon na be cheap , but they can beat these charges . they repped bobby durst , for god 's sake . hayden : he was guilty . i 'm not . naomi : okay , okay , of course , they 're going to want to know what , if anything , you told the police , whether or not you were properly advised of your rights -- hayden : mother , i 'm innocent . please , tell me you believe i did n't push elizabeth down those stairs . [ scene_break ] sabrina : franco ? elizabeth : at first , i just tolerated him ... [ monitor beeping ] elizabeth : for jake 's sake . and then , little by little , we became friends . i 'm not ignoring what he 's done in the past , but he was n't responsible for his actions . that 's what the court said , and that 's what i believe . i 've seen the real franco , the guy who 's worked so hard to become whole . and we just have this weird connection . [ sighs ] i tried to fight it . believe me -- i tried , but we just could n't . [ breathes deeply ] sabrina : i understand . maybe more than you think . but just because you see franco differently does n't mean anyone else will . elizabeth : believe me -- i am well aware that i am opening myself up to becoming the town pariah once again . but if people want to judge me , then so be it . sabrina : well , other people might , but i certainly wo n't . elizabeth : [ sighs ] sabrina : i did almost the same thing . i chose carlos against everyone else 's advice . i just hope things turn out better for you than they did for me .

[ sighs ] [ scene_break ] paul : [ sighs ] a murder trial is a long , involved process . there 's jury selection . there 's witness statements . there 's evidence discovery . each step is an opportunity for me to undermine the prosecution and tip the scales in favor of the defense . ava : that sounds reasonable . but then , you tried to make doing business with arms dealers sound reasonable . look how that turned out . paul : well , you walked away unscathed , did n't you ? and so will your brother unless you open your big , fat mouth and get me arrested . then , another prosecutor will take the case , which , by the way , is open and shut . without me , julian gets a life sentence . ava : fine . but i will be watching you .

[ scene_break ] franco : to be honest , this whole honesty thing is kind of new for me . i mean , it 's not that i 'm opposed to the truth , per se . you know , i 'm not somebody that 's gon na lie just for the sake of lying , but if it 'll get me something , then historically i 'll probably lie , so it 's good you know that . it 's , uh -- yeah .

[ scene_break ] franco : to be honest , this whole honesty thing is kind of new for me . i mean , it 's not that i 'm opposed to the truth , per se . you know , i 'm not somebody that 's gon na lie just for the sake of lying , but if it 'll get me something , then historically i 'll probably lie , so it 's good you know that . it 's , uh -- yeah . [ inhales deeply ] the idea of doing the right thing just because it 's the right thing to do , that 's kind of new for me . elizabeth : you 're stalling . franco : you 're right . i 'm stalling .

pilar : give my son the drug . give my son hililife , please . sheridan : please , you have got to just all stop badgering me . all right , i need time to think , and i want to do what 's best for antonio , but this is my decision and no one else 's . fox : you know , i do n't get this eternal optimism you have when it comes to ethan . theresa : it 's not only optimism , fox , it 's about true love . ethan and i , we will always have coconnection . fox : mm - hmm . well , what about the connection that he has with his mother , our mother ? theresa : ivy has nothing to do with it . fox : come on , of course she does . theresa : no , fox , ethan and i , we have a bond . fox : well , what about the bond he has with mother ? i mean , i told you how she was with him when we were growing up . she doted on him . she showered attention all over him while basically ignoring the rest of us . you know , most nights , the only time that iould ever see her was when the nanny would bring me downstairs to say good night to her , and even then she 'd practically ignore me . she could only focus on one thing -- the apple of her eye , ethan . and now i know why . i mean , you know , he 's sam bennett 's son . theresa : i 'm sorry that you had such a miserable childhood . fox : you know what , look , i di't't mean to go off about me , ok ? we were talking about you and about how you do n't realize what you 've done tonight by throwing mother out . i do n't see ethan ever forgiving you for this one . i 'm sorry , i -- i do n't see it . theresa : well , you 're wrong , fox . ethan loves me . fox : you may think you mean the world to him , but the fact is he 's married to another woman , ok , and he has only one mother , a lady confined to a wheelchair who you tossed out into the snow . ivy : i am fine here at the bennetts ' . in fact , if i ca n't be at the crane mansion , well , then there 's nowhere in the world i am more comfortable than right here in sam 's house . well , i that i 'll say good night now , sweetheart . ethan : good night , mother . ivy : love and kisses to gwen . grace : jess , there is nothing for you to worry about , all right ? nothing 's going to tear your father and me apart , especially not ivy . jessica : yeah , but , i mean , come on , the tension that i felt when i walked in that room -- grace : ok , you know what , what you walked in on was just -- it was me about to tell ivy the rules of the house , ok ? if she 's going to stay here , she needs to know the rules and they need to be very clear . so -- you know what ? no time like the present , huh ? i 'll be right back . jessica : all right . grace : no worries . jessica : ok . grace : ivy ? ivy : grace . oh , is there anything i can help you with , anything at all ? grace : well , yes , actually . you could answer the question i put to you earlier . i want to know what you 're really doing in my house , and i want you to tell me . and i want you to tell me right now . tabitha : just imagine the damage i could do if i had my full powers back . oh , where did that come from ? as i was saying -- voice : tabitha ! tabitha : yes ? oh . voice : stop pestering us with pleas forour powers . take care of your unborn child ! tabitha : oh . i 've never hiccuped butterflies before . ooh , it must be a symptom of a witch 's pregnancy . i 've got to find that book you gave me , find a cure for this latest quirk . but do n't you lot forget about my request . i need to have my powers returned to me . voice : silence ! you will get what you need . as a matter of fact , we are sending you a helper . tabitha : oh , no . i -- i do n't want a helper , thank you very much . i 'm hoping that that cracked connie and her main squeeze , demented cecil , never reappear . voice : you 'll be more than pleased with the helper we 're sending you this time . tabitha : oh ? who is it then ? who is this helper ? who are you sending me ? sam : david , come in . have you hooked up with john yet ? david : yeah , he just joined me . ok , listen , we 're going to cover the northeast corner . sam : ok , i 'll see you on the other side t the park . officer : chief bennett . sam : ellis , you find something ? ofc . ellis : no , but headquarters said you were in this area and i wanted you to know my partner and i searched here before . nothing . sam : all right , i wo n't waste my time then . all right , keep looking , all right , and i 'm going to go search in another area . let 's go . kay : daddy ? ivy : ok , grace . you know , i 'm just -- i 'm a little bit confused because when we spoke earlier , you sounded like you knew exactly what i was doing in your house . did n't you say you had some sort of premonition ? grace : yes , that you were trying to take sam away from me . ivy : so is this premonition like a dream or does it just hit you like a bolt out of the blue ? grace : actually , ivy , it was more kind of a wife kind of thing . see , it 's no secret that sam and i are having a little trouble right now . i mean , kay is out there in this blizzard . ivy : and i know the trouble you 've had with her , what , her being pregnant and all . grace : ivy , all marriages veve their ups and downs . and sam and i will weather this storm . you should know that . bottom line , ivy -- you do n't stand a chance with sam because he 's my husband , and i 'm going to keep him forever . tabitha : so ? who are you sending to help me ? voice : you need n't concern yourself with the helper identity . just take care of your unborn child . tabitha : why do you keep saying that ? voice : because we have plans for your evil spawn -- big plans . tabitha : i have got to find that book on curing pregnancy ailments . voice : yes . now go , and do not bother us again . tabitha : hmm . tabitha : oh . at least i have some of my powers back . oh , what should i watch ? ah , yes , sheridan and luis at the hospital . i wonder what 's happening over there . oh , the pain . oh , the suffering . you see ? if i had my powers back , i could do so much more . [ roar ] tabitha : all right , all right , i 'll stop nagging you -- for now . eve : ok , here 's what we 're going to do . it 's apparent that sheridan needs a few more moments , and , since we are running out of town , i 'm going to prepare the experimental drug cocktail . at least that way if sheridan decides to give antonio the drug , it will be ready . pilar : good idea , eve . eve : i hope you find peace and clarity with your decision . sheridan : thank you . pilar : sheridan , i want to say to you -- luis : mama , do n't , ok ? i think sheridan just needs to be left alone right now . miguel : luis is right , mama . sheridan : thank you . sheridan : antonio , what should i do ? you 've done so much for me . theresa : just because you do n't understand why i threw ivy out of the mansion does n't meant that ethan doesn't . fox : oh , no , no , i understand very well . i mean , what you do n't get is how attached ethan is to mother . theresa : oh , yes , i do , but the bond that we have is much stronger . fox : you 're the original hopeless romantic . theresa : laugh . i do n't care . fox : well , come on , i mean , it 's like -- it 's like an old - time movie here . you know , the only thing that 's missing is the popcorn . theresa : it 's a movie with a very , very happy ending , i promise you that . fox : you are something else . i mean , sometimes i see you can be as hard as nails , and then other times you 're just this starry - eyed dreamer . theresa : well , it does n't matter how you see me , fox . i just hope that someday you get to experience what ethan and i have , you know , the kind of love where -- where when you see that person or if you just , like , think about that person you get that feeling , you know , in the pit of your stomach . it 's like -- i do n't know , it 's like going down that first drop of a roller coaster ride , or it 's like seeing , like , the best fourth of july fireworks ever ! fox : well , not to rain on your parade , but carnival rides end , and fireworks , well , they fizzle out . theresa : but the love that ethan and i have , that will never die , never end . fox , love is incredible . it 's the only thing that makes life worth living . and even though ethan does n't realize it yet , i know he feels the same way about me , about us . ethan : it 's such a relief knowing that my mother 's ok . gwen : what was she saying to you on the phone ? you gave me an odd look at one point . ethan : she said -- and i quote -- `` enjoy being with your bride . `` gwen : hmm . well , how exactly do you intend to enjoy me ? ethan : i 'm mulling a few ideas over . gwen : really ? well , then , mull away . ivy : yoyou do realize that you 're coming off as terribly insecure , do n't you ? but we 'll get to that later . you 've had your say . most of it was not accurate and i would like to correct you on a few points . grace : oh ? ivy : yes . first , you keep referring to sam as your husband . well , grace , you and sam are n't married -- not legally , anyway . you 're married to david . second , you keep telling me you wo n't let me take your husband away from you ? well , back to my first point , grace , i do n't want david . i would n't dream of taking him away from you . grace : knock it off , ivy . i do n't have time for your sarcasm . ivy : well , i 'm sorry that i do n't have anything else to offer tonight , grace . i 'm even sorrier that you think that i have some ulterior motive for being here . what , do you think that i tricked theresa into kicking me out of my own home ? grace : no , i think she had an excellent reason . ivy : ok , grace , i want you to get this very straight . you keep telling me you wo n't let me take your husband away from you . well , from what i hear , you and sam are already apart . from what i hear , grace , sam sleeps on the couch . you have n't shared a bed in months . grace : how do you know that ? how do you know the intimate details of my marriage ? ivy : it 's a small town , grac word gets around , and the word is that your marriage is over . tabitha : oh , what would it be under , butterflies or hiccups ? tabitha : here we go . spell for butterfly hiccups . oh , let 's hope if it works . `` buzzards eat gizzards . reverse the sheer cocoon . larva and pupa you will be very soon . `` tabitha : well , i guess that did the trick . oh , my . oh , my . sheridan : i 'm going to go to the chapel to pray . pilar : well , i hope that the lord says to you what i 've been saying all along . give my son that drug . give him a chance at life . luis : you know , all this pressure is n't helping her . pilar : why should we be worried about helping sheridan when my son 's life is at stake ? and as for your behavior , well , i am terribly disappointed in you . you know , answer me this one question , please -- if antonio had said that the decision was up to you , his brother , what would you do ? why do you hesitate , luis ? is it because you know that if your brother lives , sheridan will be tied to him for the rest of her life and you wo n't be able to marry her ? luis : no . mama , i want what 's best for antonio , ok ? pilar : do you really ? huh ? think about it . can you answer me honestly and before god ? if sheridan was n't in the picture , if you were n't in love with your brother 's wife , what would you do , luis , huh ? would you give him the drug ? theresa : without love , life would be like -- god , i do n't even know what life would be like because i 've always been in love with ethan -- always . you 're staring at me . fox : oh , am i ? theresa : yeah , i get the feeling that i 'm -- i 'm boring you . fox : no , no , not at all . theresa : well , i 'm certainly not telling you anhihing you do n't already know about love . i mean , i 'm sure that you have or you have had someone very special in your life . fox : not what you 're describing , a great true love . i mean , i never even knew it existed . never saw it firsthand , i mean , certainly not with my parents . i mean , ivy and julian were barely civil to each other . so this thing you 're talking about , this -- this feeling you have for ethan ? totally foreign to me . theresa : oh , the baby . fox : i did n't hear anything . theresa : mommy ears . fox : true love . if it does really does exist , could i ever find it ? grace : my marriage with sam is not over . ivy : you know what they say about protesting too mh . h . grace : oh , it 's no protest , it 's a fact . ivy : well , you do agree that attacking me indicates a terrible insecurity ? grace : no , i do n't agree to anything . i 've been married to sam for 20 years . ivy : well , sam was with me before he even met you , and we have a child together , although nothing has happened since . grace : hmm , not for your lack of trying . ivy : you will not listen to reason , will you ? grace : no , not when the reason is yours . and not when i have this strong feeling that someone is trying to undermine my relationship with sam , someone very close to me . and my feelings are always right . ivy : ok , grace , you got me . your feelings are right on the money . someone close to you is trying to undermine your relationship with sam . grace : this i got to hear . ivy : it 's you , grace . it 's you . i think you want someone to come between you and sam . grace : why would i want somebody to come -- ivy : because you want to be with david . grace : oh , that is nonsense ! ivy : is it , grace ? admit it -- are n't you the least bit curious about david ? i mean , be honest . do n't you wonder what it would be like to be in bed with him , to feel his hands all over you ? but you have led a pure and moral life . so you need an excuse to get away from sam , so you invent this scapegoat theory . you need someone to blame ? ok , i 'm it , yours truly . blame me . fine , i 'll take the blame . you -- you want something new . grace , it 's ok . you 're human . i saw the way you looked at david , i saw the way you hugged him . i arard you tell him you loved him . grace : no , ivy , you are twisting things . ivy : am i , grace ? can you honestly tell me you 've never had a fantasy about david ? kay : got to find shelter . i 'll die if i stay out here . ok . there 's got to be someplace i can go , somebody who 'll help me . i ca n't go back to mother 's house . do n't want to go back to mother 's house . judges can be pretty harsh ! i think you 've got the look but the singing is brutalhave any singing lessons ? yeah , i actually have a degree in vocal performance and opera . see what i mean ? nasty . now this week it 's a supersize 40 minute epsiode at a special time . popstars the one . right after friends thursday at 8 : 40 . global 's got luis : of course i want antonio to live . like i said , antonio would n't want to be a burden on anyone . pilar : luis , i know that -- you know , i 've said everything i have to say . and if you ca n't understand that , if you ca n't see it -- luis : mama . hank : luis , i wish there was something i could do . luis : you 're a good friend , hank . unfortunately , there isn't . hank : i -- i heard the reason that antonio 's in the coma is because you and sheridan were talking and she forgot to give him his medication ? luis : yeah , that 's right . hank : that 's got to be really rough on you . luis : and sheridan . hank : do you think pilar and the rest of your family will be able to forgive her ? luis : i do n't know . hank : if sheridan decides not to give him the drug and he dies , will they be able to accept you and her together ? luis : you know , i do n't care what my family thinks . i 'm going to support sheridan no matter what . if it came down to it , i 'd leave my family for her . hank : are you sure ? luis : yeah . i love my family , but what i feel for sheridan is so strong . i ca n't live without her . sheridan : lord , i need help . i need guidance . what should i do ? tabitha : oh . if i do n't find a spell for this soon , i 'm going to get airsick . tabitha : oh . oh , this should do . `` kites and griffins , unleash your prey . `` oh . oh , stone of bleeding crows , what have i done now ? ivy : well , grace ? did i strike a chord ? and if i did , so what ? if you 're fantasizing about david , big deal . i mean , is there really a sin in fantasizing about your own husband ? grace : what about you , ivy ? do you fantasize about being with sam , making love to him ? i know your marriage with julian was loveless . you fantasize about someone else being in your bed ? is it sam ? of course . well , you know what , ivy -- all you 've got is those fantasies , because i 'm not going to let you into my house to cause pain , to stir up trouble here . you know , it 's pretty funny , ivy -- you live up to that name that they call you behind your back -- poison ivy . fox : i feel sorry for you , theresa . theresa : sorry ? for me ? why ? i 've got everything -- a true love , a fabulous job , all the money in the world , and a wonderful son . fox : yeah , well , three out of four ai n't bad . theresa : three ? fox : li i i said , i know nothing about truelove , ok , but i do know my half- brother , ok , and no matter what you say about destiny or fate , he 's never going to forgive you for what you did to mother tonight . great job , money , power , wonderful son -- you 've got all those things , theresa , you do -- but you do n't have ethan 's heart -- not now , not ever . gwen oh , ethan , i love you . mmm , how i love you . ethan : and i love you . only you . grace : i 'm warning you , ivy , do n't underestimate me . jessica : mom , is everything ok ? grace : yeah , of course , sweetie . i was just making sure that ivy was aware of the rules of the house . you need some help ? jessica : well , yeah , i kind of needed some help in the kitchen . grace : yeah , let 's finish those sandwiches , huh ? ivy : oh , no , grace . do n't you underestimate me . because soon i will have sam , and you will have -- nothing . david : where we heading now ? sam : we 're heading this way . wait a minute , wait . what 's that ? john : it looks like -- sam : it 's kay 's scarf . sam : blood . kay . oh , my god . kay : oh , my gosh , reese is right . tabitha 's really a witch . pilar : why is it so hard to make this decision ? why ca n't they just give my son that drug ? beth : that 's what i 'd do . i 'd give him a chance at life . pilar : i 'm glad you 're here , beth . i alwa k knew i could count on you . you 're a wonderful girl , full of faith and love . mrs. wallace : i know what she 's full of , and it ai n't faith and love . it 's more like wickedness and evil . boy , pilar has got to wake up soon before beth destroys everybody 's life . luis : i do n't know what she 'll decide . but i do know whatever her decision is , antonio 's fate 's in her hands . in fact , all the lopez fitzgeralds ' lives hanging in the balance . i just hope that whatever her decision is , god 's with her . sheridan : lord , what should i do ? please help me . kay : i am not hallucinating . tabitha 's defitetely a witch . gwen : she is relentless ! she 's always trying to ruin things between us . pilar : your brother needs this drug . without it , he dies . sheridan : i 'm holding antonio 's life in my hands and i just do n't know what to do . | theresa and fox talk about everything she has and the love her and ethan share . he tells her that ethan will never forvgive her for throwing out his mother . ethan and gwen spend a little alone time . ethan calls ivy to check on her and she says everythings just great there 's nowhere she 'd rather be than sams 's house . ivy and grace exchange words . grace tells her she knows why she s really here and she 'll never get what she wants .... sam . sam searches for kay but all he finds is a scarf and traces of her blood . kay wakes up in the woods and tries to find shelter . she ends up outside of tabitha 's house and sees her floating in the air while hiccuping butterflies and realizes reese is right she is a witch ! | <s>[INST] theresa : one thing about you , fox , when you are wrong , you are really wrong . fox : mm - hmm . we , , not about this i 'm not . theresa : throwing ivy out of the mansion did n't cost me ethan . nothing could do that . ethan loves me and i love him . fox : yeah , so you keep saying , like you 're trying to persuade yourself . theresa : wrong again . ethan and i share a great love , and , yes , sometimes true love runs into a few unexpected curves , but in the end the lovers end up right where they 're supposed to be in each other 's arms . now , ethan may not realize it yet , but i 'm the only woman in his heart . i mean , he could never find real love with anyone else . fox : oh , no ? well , what do you think he 's doing right now in the room next door with his wife , huh , the woman he pledged to spend the rest of his life with ? ethan : are you sure that you 're all right , mother ? ivy : yes , yes , ethan , darling , i am fine . i just hope you 're beginning to realize what i was telling you all along -- that theresa is a heartless bitch . ethan : well , there 's two sides to every argumen ivy : no , not this one . theresa had no right to throw me out into the snow , no matter what i 'd said . ethan : are you -- are you sure there 's nothing you need , mother ? ivy : no , no . nothing at all . sam was so kind to bring me here to his own home . your father 's taking very good care of me . jessica : kay will be home soon , wo n't she , mom ? grace : yeah , real soon , honey . jessica : she could n't have gone far . grace : no , she could n't , and , you know , with your father and john and david and everybody looking for her , i 'm sure they 'll find her . sam knows where to look . jessica : wewell , thanks for helping me with these sandwiches . grace : yeah . jessica : you know , and i 'm really sorry that i took you away from your conversation with ivy . god , what was going on out there ? it seemed so tense . you guys were just staring so hard at each other . grace : look , jess , there 's -- there 's really nothing for you to worry about . jessica : sorry , i ca n't help it . ahem , ivy -- ivy is n't here to take daddy away from us , is she ? i mean , you and daddy are n't going to break up because of kay and ivy , are you ? sam : this is chief bennett . any officers called in to report on my daughter ? yeah . tabitha : i 'm here to make a request . i want my powers back -- all of them . [ roar ] tabitha : just -- just give me a chance to state my case . i deserve to have my powers restored . [ roar ] tabitha : you know that i 've spread evil to the four corners of the earth , but nowhere more successfully than right here in harmony . let me continue the devastation . forces of darkness , hear my plea . give me back my powers and i will rain down destruction the likes of which the world has never known . [ roar ] eve : sheridan , i 'm afraid we 're really in a time crunch now . antonio 's condition is precarious at best . sheridan : i know . eve : you 're going to have to tell me one way or the other . miguel : sheridan ? make the decision , please . sheridan : look , i just do n't know what to do . pilar : save my son 's life . that 's what you ha t to do . hank : luis , what 's going on ? luis : antonio 's in a coma . hank : oh , no . is there anything they can do ? luis : maybe . antonio left a tape saying that if he were totally incapacitated and unable to make decisions about his life that he would trust sheridan to make those decisions . there 's an experimental drug . hank : you mean a cure ? luis : his chances of being cured are practically zero . hank : but it 's possible ? luis : well , most likely , he 'll be a vegetable . hank : oh , my god . that 's the worst . beth : the worst ? no , it 'll be the best . if antonio is a vegetable , then sheridan will be tied to him for life . nothing will stop me from getting luis . mrs. wallace : oh , you are such a wicked , wicked girl . pilar : give him the drug , sheridan , plsese . have mercy on my son . eve : i know it 's difficult , sheridan , but we really need a decision . beth : look at them . poor pilar , luis , miguel . the anguish on their faces . you have to give antonio that drug . if you do n't , you know he'ldidie , sheridan , and luis ' entire family will have no one to blame but you for his death . can you let that happen ? can you really live with antonio 's blood on your hands ? pilar : sheridan ? what do i have to do to persuade you ? ca n't you see that giving my son that drug is the right thing , the merciful thing ? sheridan : it 's just that i do n't think antonio would want to live his life as a vegetable . pilar : is that it ? or maybe you 're not sure you want to spend the rest of your life taking care of your husband . luis : mama . come on , that 's totally unfair . pilar : you know , you keep talking about being unfair . well , look at your brother , and you tell me it 's fair to withhold the one chance he has at life . luis : yeah , well , what if that chance results in him being totally incapacitated ? pilar : give my son the drug . give my son hililife , please . sheridan : please , you have got to just all stop badgering me . all right , i need time to think , and i want to do what 's best for antonio , but this is my decision and no one else 's . fox : you know , i do n't get this eternal optimism you have when it comes to ethan . theresa : it 's not only optimism , fox , it 's about true love . ethan and i , we will always have coconnection . fox : mm - hmm . well , what about the connection that he has with his mother , our mother ? theresa : ivy has nothing to do with it . fox : come on , of course she does . theresa : no , fox , ethan and i , we have a bond . fox : well , what about the bond he has with mother ? i mean , i told you how she was with him when we were growing up . she doted on him . she showered attention all over him while basically ignoring the rest of us . you know , most nights , the only time that iould ever see her was when the nanny would bring me downstairs to say good night to her , and even then she 'd practically ignore me . she could only focus on one thing -- the apple of her eye , ethan . and now i know why . i mean , you know , he 's sam bennett 's son . theresa : i 'm sorry that you had such a miserable childhood . fox : you know what , look , i di't't mean to go off about me , ok ? we were talking about you and about how you do n't realize what you 've done tonight by throwing mother out . i do n't see ethan ever forgiving you for this one . i 'm sorry , i -- i do n't see it . theresa : well , you 're wrong , fox . ethan loves me . fox : you may think you mean the world to him , but the fact is he 's married to another woman , ok , and he has only one mother , a lady confined to a wheelchair who you tossed out into the snow . ivy : i am fine here at the bennetts ' . in fact , if i ca n't be at the crane mansion , well , then there 's nowhere in the world i am more comfortable than right here in sam 's house . well , i that i 'll say good night now , sweetheart . ethan : good night , mother . ivy : love and kisses to gwen . grace : jess , there is nothing for you to worry about , all right ? nothing 's going to tear your father and me apart , especially not ivy . jessica : yeah , but , i mean , come on , the tension that i felt when i walked in that room -- grace : ok , you know what , what you walked in on was just -- it was me about to tell ivy the rules of the house , ok ? if she 's going to stay here , she needs to know the rules and they need to be very clear . so -- you know what ? no time like the present , huh ? i 'll be right back . jessica : all right . grace : no worries . jessica : ok . grace : ivy ? ivy : grace . oh , is there anything i can help you with , anything at all ? grace : well , yes , actually . you could answer the question i put to you earlier . i want to know what you 're really doing in my house , and i want you to tell me . and i want you to tell me right now . tabitha : just imagine the damage i could do if i had my full powers back . oh , where did that come from ? as i was saying -- voice : tabitha ! tabitha : yes ? oh . voice : stop pestering us with pleas forour powers . take care of your unborn child ! tabitha : oh . i 've never hiccuped butterflies before . ooh , it must be a symptom of a witch 's pregnancy . i 've got to find that book you gave me , find a cure for this latest quirk . but do n't you lot forget about my request . i need to have my powers returned to me . voice : silence ! you will get what you need . as a matter of fact , we are sending you a helper . tabitha : oh , no . i -- i do n't want a helper , thank you very much . i 'm hoping that that cracked connie and her main squeeze , demented cecil , never reappear . voice : you 'll be more than pleased with the helper we 're sending you this time . tabitha : oh ? who is it then ? who is this helper ? who are you sending me ? sam : david , come in . have you hooked up with john yet ? david : yeah , he just joined me . ok , listen , we 're going to cover the northeast corner . sam : ok , i 'll see you on the other side t the park . officer : chief bennett . sam : ellis , you find something ? ofc . ellis : no , but headquarters said you were in this area and i wanted you to know my partner and i searched here before . nothing . sam : all right , i wo n't waste my time then . all right , keep looking , all right , and i 'm going to go search in another area . let 's go . kay : daddy ? ivy : ok , grace . you know , i 'm just -- i 'm a little bit confused because when we spoke earlier , you sounded like you knew exactly what i was doing in your house . did n't you say you had some sort of premonition ? grace : yes , that you were trying to take sam away from me . ivy : so is this premonition like a dream or does it just hit you like a bolt out of the blue ? grace : actually , ivy , it was more kind of a wife kind of thing . see , it 's no secret that sam and i are having a little trouble right now . i mean , kay is out there in this blizzard . ivy : and i know the trouble you 've had with her , what , her being pregnant and all . grace : ivy , all marriages veve their ups and downs . and sam and i will weather this storm . you should know that . bottom line , ivy -- you do n't stand a chance with sam because he 's my husband , and i 'm going to keep him forever . tabitha : so ? who are you sending to help me ? voice : you need n't concern yourself with the helper identity . just take care of your unborn child . tabitha : why do you keep saying that ? voice : because we have plans for your evil spawn -- big plans . tabitha : i have got to find that book on curing pregnancy ailments . voice : yes . now go , and do not bother us again . tabitha : hmm . tabitha : oh . at least i have some of my powers back . oh , what should i watch ? ah , yes , sheridan and luis at the hospital . i wonder what 's happening over there . oh , the pain . oh , the suffering . you see ? if i had my powers back , i could do so much more . [ roar ] tabitha : all right , all right , i 'll stop nagging you -- for now . eve : ok , here 's what we 're going to do . it 's apparent that sheridan needs a few more moments , and , since we are running out of town , i 'm going to prepare the experimental drug cocktail . at least that way if sheridan decides to give antonio the drug , it will be ready . pilar : good idea , eve . eve : i hope you find peace and clarity with your decision . sheridan : thank you . pilar : sheridan , i want to say to you -- luis : mama , do n't , ok ? i think sheridan just needs to be left alone right now . miguel : luis is right , mama . sheridan : thank you . sheridan : antonio , what should i do ? you 've done so much for me . theresa : just because you do n't understand why i threw ivy out of the mansion does n't meant that ethan doesn't . fox : oh , no , no , i understand very well . i mean , what you do n't get is how attached ethan is to mother . theresa : oh , yes , i do , but the bond that we have is much stronger . fox : you 're the original hopeless romantic . theresa : laugh . i do n't care . fox : well , come on , i mean , it 's like -- it 's like an old - time movie here . you know , the only thing that 's missing is the popcorn . theresa : it 's a movie with a very , very happy ending , i promise you that . fox : you are something else . i mean , sometimes i see you can be as hard as nails , and then other times you 're just this starry - eyed dreamer . theresa : well , it does n't matter how you see me , fox . i just hope that someday you get to experience what ethan and i have , you know , the kind of love where -- where when you see that person or if you just , like , think about that person you get that feeling , you know , in the pit of your stomach . it 's like -- i do n't know , it 's like going down that first drop of a roller coaster ride , or it 's like seeing , like , the best fourth of july fireworks ever ! fox : well , not to rain on your parade , but carnival rides end , and fireworks , well , they fizzle out . theresa : but the love that ethan and i have , that will never die , never end . fox , love is incredible . it 's the only thing that makes life worth living . and even though ethan does n't realize it yet , i know he feels the same way about me , about us . ethan : it 's such a relief knowing that my mother 's ok . gwen : what was she saying to you on the phone ? you gave me an odd look at one point . ethan : she said -- and i quote -- `` enjoy being with your bride . `` gwen : hmm . well , how exactly do you intend to enjoy me ? ethan : i 'm mulling a few ideas over . gwen : really ? well , then , mull away . ivy : yoyou do realize that you 're coming off as terribly insecure , do n't you ? but we 'll get to that later . you 've had your say . most of it was not accurate and i would like to correct you on a few points . grace : oh ? ivy : yes . first , you keep referring to sam as your husband . well , grace , you and sam are n't married -- not legally , anyway . you 're married to david . second , you keep telling me you wo n't let me take your husband away from you ? well , back to my first point , grace , i do n't want david . i would n't dream of taking him away from you . grace : knock it off , ivy . i do n't have time for your sarcasm . ivy : well , i 'm sorry that i do n't have anything else to offer tonight , grace . i 'm even sorrier that you think that i have some ulterior motive for being here . what , do you think that i tricked theresa into kicking me out of my own home ? grace : no , i think she had an excellent reason . ivy : ok , grace , i want you to get this very straight . you keep telling me you wo n't let me take your husband away from you . well , from what i hear , you and sam are already apart . from what i hear , grace , sam sleeps on the couch . you have n't shared a bed in months . grace : how do you know that ? how do you know the intimate details of my marriage ? ivy : it 's a small town , grac word gets around , and the word is that your marriage is over . tabitha : oh , what would it be under , butterflies or hiccups ? tabitha : here we go . spell for butterfly hiccups . oh , let 's hope if it works . `` buzzards eat gizzards . reverse the sheer cocoon . larva and pupa you will be very soon . `` tabitha : well , i guess that did the trick . oh , my . oh , my . sheridan : i 'm going to go to the chapel to pray . pilar : well , i hope that the lord says to you what i 've been saying all along . give my son that drug . give him a chance at life . luis : you know , all this pressure is n't helping her . pilar : why should we be worried about helping sheridan when my son 's life is at stake ? and as for your behavior , well , i am terribly disappointed in you . you know , answer me this one question , please -- if antonio had said that the decision was up to you , his brother , what would you do ? why do you hesitate , luis ? is it because you know that if your brother lives , sheridan will be tied to him for the rest of her life and you wo n't be able to marry her ? luis : no . mama , i want what 's best for antonio , ok ? pilar : do you really ? huh ? think about it . can you answer me honestly and before god ? if sheridan was n't in the picture , if you were n't in love with your brother 's wife , what would you do , luis , huh ? would you give him the drug ? theresa : without love , life would be like -- god , i do n't even know what life would be like because i 've always been in love with ethan -- always . you 're staring at me . fox : oh , am i ? theresa : yeah , i get the feeling that i 'm -- i 'm boring you . fox : no , no , not at all . theresa : well , i 'm certainly not telling you anhihing you do n't already know about love . i mean , i 'm sure that you have or you have had someone very special in your life . fox : not what you 're describing , a great true love . i mean , i never even knew it existed . never saw it firsthand , i mean , certainly not with my parents . i mean , ivy and julian were barely civil to each other . so this thing you 're talking about , this -- this feeling you have for ethan ? totally foreign to me . theresa : oh , the baby . fox : i did n't hear anything . theresa : mommy ears . fox : true love . if it does really does exist , could i ever find it ? grace : my marriage with sam is not over . ivy : you know what they say about protesting too mh . h . grace : oh , it 's no protest , it 's a fact . ivy : well , you do agree that attacking me indicates a terrible insecurity ? grace : no , i do n't agree to anything . i 've been married to sam for 20 years . ivy : well , sam was with me before he even met you , and we have a child together , although nothing has happened since . grace : hmm , not for your lack of trying . ivy : you will not listen to reason , will you ? grace : no , not when the reason is yours . and not when i have this strong feeling that someone is trying to undermine my relationship with sam , someone very close to me . and my feelings are always right . ivy : ok , grace , you got me . your feelings are right on the money . someone close to you is trying to undermine your relationship with sam . grace : this i got to hear . ivy : it 's you , grace . it 's you . i think you want someone to come between you and sam . grace : why would i want somebody to come -- ivy : because you want to be with david . grace : oh , that is nonsense ! ivy : is it , grace ? admit it -- are n't you the least bit curious about david ? i mean , be honest . do n't you wonder what it would be like to be in bed with him , to feel his hands all over you ? but you have led a pure and moral life . so you need an excuse to get away from sam , so you invent this scapegoat theory . you need someone to blame ? ok , i 'm it , yours truly . blame me . fine , i 'll take the blame . you -- you want something new . grace , it 's ok . you 're human . i saw the way you looked at david , i saw the way you hugged him . i arard you tell him you loved him . grace : no , ivy , you are twisting things . ivy : am i , grace ? can you honestly tell me you 've never had a fantasy about david ? kay : got to find shelter . i 'll die if i stay out here . ok . there 's got to be someplace i can go , somebody who 'll help me . i ca n't go back to mother 's house . do n't want to go back to mother 's house . judges can be pretty harsh ! i think you 've got the look but the singing is brutalhave any singing lessons ? yeah , i actually have a degree in vocal performance and opera . see what i mean ? nasty . now this week it 's a supersize 40 minute epsiode at a special time . popstars the one . right after friends thursday at 8 : 40 . global 's got luis : of course i want antonio to live . like i said , antonio would n't want to be a burden on anyone . pilar : luis , i know that -- you know , i 've said everything i have to say . and if you ca n't understand that , if you ca n't see it -- luis : mama . hank : luis , i wish there was something i could do . luis : you 're a good friend , hank . unfortunately , there isn't . hank : i -- i heard the reason that antonio 's in the coma is because you and sheridan were talking and she forgot to give him his medication ? luis : yeah , that 's right . hank : that 's got to be really rough on you . luis : and sheridan . hank : do you think pilar and the rest of your family will be able to forgive her ? luis : i do n't know . hank : if sheridan decides not to give him the drug and he dies , will they be able to accept you and her together ? luis : you know , i do n't care what my family thinks . i 'm going to support sheridan no matter what . if it came down to it , i 'd leave my family for her . hank : are you sure ? luis : yeah . i love my family , but what i feel for sheridan is so strong . i ca n't live without her . sheridan : lord , i need help . i need guidance . what should i do ? tabitha : oh . if i do n't find a spell for this soon , i 'm going to get airsick . tabitha : oh . oh , this should do . `` kites and griffins , unleash your prey . `` oh . oh , stone of bleeding crows , what have i done now ? ivy : well , grace ? did i strike a chord ? and if i did , so what ? if you 're fantasizing about david , big deal . i mean , is there really a sin in fantasizing about your own husband ? grace : what about you , ivy ? do you fantasize about being with sam , making love to him ? i know your marriage with julian was loveless . you fantasize about someone else being in your bed ? is it sam ? of course . well , you know what , ivy -- all you 've got is those fantasies , because i 'm not going to let you into my house to cause pain , to stir up trouble here . you know , it 's pretty funny , ivy -- you live up to that name that they call you behind your back -- poison ivy . fox : i feel sorry for you , theresa . theresa : sorry ? for me ? why ? i 've got everything -- a true love , a fabulous job , all the money in the world , and a wonderful son . fox : yeah , well , three out of four ai n't bad . theresa : three ? fox : li i i said , i know nothing about truelove , ok , but i do know my half- brother , ok , and no matter what you say about destiny or fate , he 's never going to forgive you for what you did to mother tonight . great job , money , power , wonderful son -- you 've got all those things , theresa , you do -- but you do n't have ethan 's heart -- not now , not ever . gwen oh , ethan , i love you . mmm , how i love you . ethan : and i love you . only you . grace : i 'm warning you , ivy , do n't underestimate me . jessica : mom , is everything ok ? grace : yeah , of course , sweetie . i was just making sure that ivy was aware of the rules of the house . you need some help ? jessica : well , yeah , i kind of needed some help in the kitchen . grace : yeah , let 's finish those sandwiches , huh ? ivy : oh , no , grace . do n't you underestimate me . because soon i will have sam , and you will have -- nothing . david : where we heading now ? sam : we 're heading this way . wait a minute , wait . what 's that ? john : it looks like -- sam : it 's kay 's scarf . sam : blood . kay . oh , my god . kay : oh , my gosh , reese is right . tabitha 's really a witch . pilar : why is it so hard to make this decision ? why ca n't they just give my son that drug ? beth : that 's what i 'd do . i 'd give him a chance at life . pilar : i 'm glad you 're here , beth . i alwa k knew i could count on you . you 're a wonderful girl , full of faith and love . mrs. wallace : i know what she 's full of , and it ai n't faith and love . it 's more like wickedness and evil . boy , pilar has got to wake up soon before beth destroys everybody 's life . luis : i do n't know what she 'll decide . but i do know whatever her decision is , antonio 's fate 's in her hands . in fact , all the lopez fitzgeralds ' lives hanging in the balance . i just hope that whatever her decision is , god 's with her . sheridan : lord , what should i do ? please help me . kay : i am not hallucinating . tabitha 's defitetely a witch . gwen : she is relentless ! she 's always trying to ruin things between us . pilar : your brother needs this drug . without it , he dies . sheridan : i 'm holding antonio 's life in my hands and i just do n't know what to do .Summarize.[/INST]theresa and fox talk about everything she has and the love her and ethan share . he tells her that ethan will never forvgive her for throwing out his mother . ethan and gwen spend a little alone time . ethan calls ivy to check on her and she says everythings just great there 's nowhere she 'd rather be than sams 's house . ivy and grace exchange words . grace tells her she knows why she s really here and she 'll never get what she wants .... sam . sam searches for kay but all he finds is a scarf and traces of her blood . kay wakes up in the woods and tries to find shelter . she ends up outside of tabitha 's house and sees her floating in the air while hiccuping butterflies and realizes reese is right she is a witch !</s> | 15,175 |
[ knock at door ] chad : yeah ? hey . what a surprise . i was just thinking about you . how was work today ? jordan : interesting . i ran into an old friend of yours , melanie jonas . chad : since it seems you came straight from work to my doorstep , i guess my name came up . jordan : it did . chad : mm - hmm . and you said that she was an old friend . is that the term that she used ? jordan : not exactly . chad : i did n't think so . well , i 'd like you to hear my side of things . i 'm guessing she said something along the lines of i lied to her and almost ruined her life . jordan : and your side ? chad : she 's right . it 's all completely true . maggie : i want you to own new year 's eve . melanie : is n't it interesting that right after christmas they have a shallow yet somehow trashy holiday ? maggie : oh , stop . i got ta find my purse . where is it ? melanie : right , okay . maggie : and since i 'm buying , i better find that purse . okay , hold on . brady : it 's not bad . maggie ! you know , i was thinking that -- hi . i 'm glad you 're here . i was -- i was just thinking about you . [ knocking ] serena : [ clears throat ] eric . i was n't expecting you . eric : yeah , that seems so . i 'm sorry to catch you like this . serena : i 'm not . eric : [ chuckles ] daniel : oh , thank you for -- for waiting , yeah . nicole : of course . [ chuckles ] what 's this ? daniel : uh , i do n't know . open it . find out . [ phone rings ] jj : what do you want , paige ? paige : i 've left you a ton of messages . why are you ignoring me ? jj : i thought i made it clear on christmas that we 're over . paige : well , here 's what you did n't make clear : why ? what changed ? jj : paige , i just do n't want to talk about it . paige : well , too bad . after everything that we 've been through , i deserve an answer , and you know it . why , jj ? why ? brady : i drove by that taco truck . you know , the one with the great tacos . you 're the one that found it , remember ? melanie : what are you doing here ? brady : i live here . melanie : right , no . sorry , that 's -- oh -- just maggie said you were working . brady : well , i was , i was , and then they broke out the champagne , and i thought i should probably leave that scenario , you know . melanie : mm - hmm . brady : something wrong ? melanie : no , of course not . why -- why would you think that ? brady : you just do n't seem very happy to see me . jj : i just really do n't think that we should do this . paige : all i 'm asking for is an explanation . look , jj , if i have to , i 'll go over there and bang on your front door until you talk to me . i swear i will , so ... jj : fine . can -- can you meet me in the park in 15 minutes ? paige : great . i 'll see you there . jennifer : hey . jj : thought you were at work . jennifer : i was just leaving . and i just heard you on the phone . you wan na tell me what 's going on ? jordan : well , she did n't exactly use the term `` ruin her life , `` but she made it very clear that she did n't look back fondly on the time she spent with you . chad : uh , i do n't blame her . i made a lot of mistakes . jordan : you two were engaged ? chad : yeah . jordan : why did n't you mention that to me ? i work at the hospital . i would have found out sooner or later , especially now that she 's back . chad : i know . i -- i guess i just thought it 'd be best if you found out from melanie . jordan : really ? why ? chad : because if i told you , then it would be self - serving , and i did not want you to think that i was trying to justify something that i ca n't . jordan : what did you do ? chad : i knew that gabi hernandez hired the guy who kidnapped and almost killed melanie . but instead of telling melanie , i let her go on thinking she and gabi were friends . and at the time , i told myself that i was just trying to protect her . jordan : were n't you ? chad : no . i was -- i was trying to control her . melanie : do n't be stupid ! of course i 'm happy to see you . i just -- i 'm a little , um -- i 'm a little wired up because i was supposed to go shopping with grandma for new year 's dresses . brady : so the idea of going shopping with maggie put you in a bad mood ? melanie : i 'm not in a bad mood . brady : yeah , you 're chipper . melanie : okay , no . i 'm a little anxious , i guess . brady : yeah , because of me , i guess . melanie : no , no , no . uh , it 's a silly girl thing . i just -- it 's my first new year 's back , and i wanted to look good . and so we were gon na go to the stores , but it 's kind of late . so most of them are closed , and the ones that are n't closed have probably already been picked through . brady : you -- you do n't have anything to worry about . you always look good . maggie : oh , brady , you 're back early . brady : yeah , i decided to skip the work party and work here . maggie : yeah , well , they can be a little tedious . mm . melanie : you have your purse , yay ! maggie : i do , i do . um , honey , listen , i got a call from someone in a.a . the holidays can be a rough time for a lot of people . i 'm afraid i 'm gon na have to pass on our shopping trip . i -- i 'm really sorry . melanie : yeah , well , you should be . somebody 's sobriety over a new year 's dress for me , i mean , really ? maggie : [ laughs ] i 'll see you later . melanie : okay , love you . maggie : love you . bye . brady : bye . melanie : so good to see you . brady : oh , hey , hey , listen , wait , hold on . i need to go out and go shopping too , so why do n't we go together ? we 'll go shopping together . melanie : no , no , absolutely not . serena : i was just napping . eric : in my old t - shirt . serena : do n't get a swelled head . i am not wearing this because of you and memories . i 'm wearing it because it is the most comfortable t - shirt in the history of t - shirts . eric , is that -- is that a pie in your hand ? eric : yes , yes , it is . my -- uh , my grandmother , she made it for you . she also wanted me to bring it over , with this . it 's an invitation to our new year 's eve party at the pub . serena : i thought i was already invited to the party at the pub . eric : yeah , you were . i told my grandma you were my date , but she does n't trust me enough not to blow it , so she made pecan coffee liqueur pie . she 's bringing out the big guns . serena : um , she does n't know how easily i am bought . eric : i see you still have the flower that nicole sent you . serena : yeah . yeah , it 's pretty . and so is the -- the note that came with it . it 's nice . she did n't have to apologize . eric : no , i think she did . just glad , for once , she took the high road . nicole : [ gasps ] oh , my ... these are tickets to the mayor 's new year 's eve ball . daniel : yeah . nicole : are you -- are you saying we 're finally going on our first date ? daniel : i think it means we 're finally going on our first -- first date . yeah . nicole : well -- but i thought you had to work tonight . daniel : yeah , i thought so too . we 're so short - staffed , but the schedule opened up , just last minute . nicole : just last minute . daniel : yeah , just like that . nicole : well , that 's great . good for me , right ? wait a minute , i bet you had to pull a lot of strings to get these tickets . it 's a very exclusive event . daniel : yeah , i gave the mayor a gift card for a free appendectomy . nicole : [ laughs ] ah ! we 're gon na have so much fun . daniel : oh , i remember you saying something about that once or twice . nicole : daniel , thank you so much . i mean , this is -- this is like a new start , and i could really use one . daniel : yeah . yeah , me too . it 's nice looking forward to seeing just what happens . nicole : sure is . daniel : you know , but first , i have to ask you one more time . are you sure you 're ready for this ? paige : how much did you hear ? eve : well , enough to know that you and jj are having problems . paige : yeah , but jj knows what those problems are . i do n't . eve : honey , can you tell me what happened christmas day ? i mean , you 've been so quiet and sad ever since then , and i know you 're not seeing jj . paige : yeah , and you must be thrilled . eve : honey , look at me . i am not thrilled that you 're in pain . but i think i did try to warn you that boys can be so fickle , you know . paige : not jj . you do n't know what you 're talking about , okay ? jj and i are gon na be fine . eve : [ sighs ] no , sweetheart . that 's just not true . jennifer : i heard you arguing with paige , so obviously you have n't worked things out . jj : no . jennifer : but it sounds like she 's in town . i heard you say you were going to meet her . jj : yeah , she 's back , and it turns out her grandpa was n't sick and that she and her mom decided not to stay in l.a . jennifer : okay , well , that 's good news . you know , i think it 's really better to deal with this whole situation face - to - face . jj : nah , mom , we ca n't work things out . it 's over . jennifer : honey , that does n't make any sense . jj : you know what , people break up . it happens all the time . jennifer : oh , well , thank you for reminding me of that because i had no idea . jj : i just do n't understand why it 's such a big deal to you 'cause i 'm young , and most of my friends do n't even have a girlfriend . jennifer : jj , this is you we 're talking about . jj : in fact , they thought that it was kind of weird , you know , being so serious about a girl , and ... jennifer : oh , really ? jj : it 's just , they kind of made fun of me . jennifer : okay , well , again , we 're talking about you . we 're not talking about your friends . we 're not talking about what your friends think , jj . jj : what if it 's what i think ? that being my age and being so serious about a girl , it 's just ... jennifer : what ? it 's just what ? jj : just not a good idea . jennifer : it is if you love her . jj : okay , look , it does n't matter . that 's not what 's wrong . jennifer : no , you 're right . that 's not what 's wrong , and you talking about being too young to be so serious is not what 's wrong . you just do n't wan na tell me what 's going on . does this have anything to do with eve ? jj : no . why would you even ask that ? jennifer : because she 's been giving you grief ever since she heard about you and paige , and if she is causing problems for you , i am telling you right now , i am gon na march right over -- jj : okay , look , mom , i 'll tell you later , okay , but right now , i have to go , all right ? but what you need to know is , it has nothing to do with eve . jennifer : somehow , i do n't buy that . melanie : [ laughs ] that was n't an overreaction . `` hey , melanie , wan na go shopping ? `` `` no , absolutely not . `` you must think i 'm crazy . brady : no , i do n't -- i think you might be mad at me . melanie : no . brady : i think you 're mad at me . melanie : no , absol -- why -- why would i be mad at you ? you 've been great . you 've been really great , so why would i feel anything other than fine or awkward or weird or uncomfortable around you ? none of those things ! brady : well , i 'm glad i 'm -- i 'm glad that you 're not any of those things that you just mentioned . melanie : yeah . no , so any -- obviously any -- any awkwardness or uncomfortableness or weirdness that you 're feeling has nothing to do with you . i mean , to be honest , i was just gon na see maggie and hang out with her because she wanted to hang out , so we were gon na go shopping together because i have n't gotten to see her in forever because i 've been busy with work and the hospital , which i guess is the same thing , 'cause i work at the hospital now with the job . but the bottom line is that it has nothing to do with you . brady : right . i - i 'm so glad that you 're making time for maggie . melanie : i got ta go . brady : yeah , well , i do n't see you , happy new y -- to -- happ -- melanie : yes , absolutely . happy new year 's to you too . so good to see you , brady . brady : what just happened ? jj : i think i 'm in love with you . paige : and i love you . jj : god , how can i do this to her ? hey . paige : that 's it ? all you have to say to me is `` hey `` ? jj : no , it is n't . i 'm sorry i was n't returning any of your messages . that was n't cool . paige : i do n't care what 's cool or what is n't . i wan na know what 's going on . we get through all that stuff , i thought everything was okay , and then just like that , it 's over , and you wo n't even tell me why . jj : look , i 'm sorry that i was sending mixed messages . and what i was doing and what i did at christmas , that -- just blurting it out that we 're over , that -- that was n't right . it 's not what i wanted to say , and i really wish that i could take it back . paige : you mean that ? jj : yeah , i mean that . paige : oh , thank god . oh , i was so scared i 'd lost you . serena : mmm . this is amazing . are you sure you do n't want some ? eric : oh , want some , uh -- what ? serena : what is with you ? eric : what do you mean ? serena : i do n't know , you 're suddenly distracted . eric : you know what ? i think i , uh , i think i should go . serena : why ? eric : [ chuckles ] hey , this is all a little too -- too tempting . and i 'm not just talking about pie . serena : becoming a priest really has changed you . you did n't run from temptation back in the day . in fact , i remember you often had seconds . and i 'm not talking about pie either . eric : like i said , i think we should take things slow . serena : as long as we take it somewhere . nicole : you would n't be talking about eric , would you ? daniel : well , i know how much you love ... d , loved , uh , but i ca n't help thinking that a part of you is just not ready to let him go . nicole : melanie , listen to me , okay ? i can explain . melanie : okay , i 'm sure you can . how about i take a whack at it , though ? um , you found out eric 's ex - girlfriend is back in town , so you thought you 'd sneak into her room and snoop around . how am i doing so far ? nicole : any reason in particular you would be bringing that up now ? daniel : no , no , no , no , no . no , i just do n't want to start anything unless you 're certain . you 're absolutely , positively ready to get -- nicole : okay , all right . we 've already talked about this . eric is moving on , and that is something that i would like to do , okay ? and i would n't have suggested that we go out on a date if that were n't the truth , okay ? but if you do n't believe me ... daniel : no , no , no , no . i do , no , i do , really . hey , i do , nicole . i trust you . nicole : good . so what time are you picking me up ? daniel : well , i got a few things i need to take care of at the hospital , and then i 'm gon na -- i 'll , uh , i 'll text you . nicole : you gon na text me ? daniel : i 'm gon na text you later the time . nicole : okay , great . daniel : yeah , okay . well , i 'll see you -- see you later . nicole : yeah , all right . bye . daniel : bye . nicole : daniel . daniel : yeah ? nicole : you know , i thought this was gon na be another one of those grim new year 's eves , where i have to fake being happy , but now i ca n't wait . daniel : good . eric : i -- i better ... i 'll be back to pick you up . serena : i ca n't wait . derrick : excuse me . eric : excuse me . derrick : something else you 'll learn real quick . never let anyone other than the guest into a room . i made that mistake the other day . some woman insisted on leaving some flower -- you know , one of those fancy ones that cost a ton , for her friend in the room , so i let her in . talk about drama . i had to back up her story to someone else , and i 'm lucky i was n't fired . eric : excuse me . i was just waiting for the elevator and overheard your story . could you tell me exactly what happened ? eric : you said it was a fancy flower . was it an orchid ? derrick : go see if they need you in the lobby . eric : okay . derrick : uh , why are you asking ? eric : because i 'm friends with the guest in that room . derrick : lucky her . well , i can assure you that the woman i let in was very trustworthy , and it was all above board . she just wanted to leave the flower and a note . eric : okay . so why did you let her into the room to do that ? why did n't you just do it yourself ? derrick : well , see , she insisted i give her a little time alone in the room to write the note , so it was all very innocent . eric : yeah , i bet it was . thank you . chad : and so when i saw nick with melanie 's scarf , i just went -- i went nuts . and i could n't find her , so i had assumed he did something with her . jordan : and you beat him up that badly ? chad : i would 've gone to prison if he pressed charges . jordan : so you signed an agreement to not let anyone know what gabi had done . chad : by then , i -- i really wanted to tell melanie , but i could n't . so i just became more and more obsessive and needy , exactly like i was with abigail . jordan : melanie said you had a dark side . chad : when i was with her . and when i was with abigail . yeah , i did . jordan : but not now ? chad : i guess getting shot and almost dying changes a guy . what are you thinking ? jordan : it 's just -- it 's a lot to process . this is a lot of new information . chad : and now that you have that information , uh ... what are you gon na do with it ? melanie : hey . eve : mmm . melanie : oh , sorry . uh , this just fell off the back of your chair . i thought i would give it -- before somebody takes it . eve : oh , my gosh , thank you so much . melanie : yeah , no problem . eve : yeah . excuse me ? you look so familiar to me . have -- have we met ? melanie : i do n't think so . i used to live here . i just moved back , actually . i 'm melanie jonas . eve : oh , you 're daniel jonas ' daughter . yeah , he showed me a picture of you once . melanie : oh , you know my dad ? eve : uh - huh . melanie : what 's your name ? eve : eve larson . melanie : ah . so you 're the hateful woman that sued my best friend 's mom . [ whirring ] jennifer : maxine , is it printing ? maxine : yes , it is . i told you it was twice . jennifer : i 'm sorry . i 'm just -- i 'm just so jumpy this afternoon . maxine : you 're jumpy about printing ... trends in patient response to triage processing ? honey , you 're taking your job way too seriously . jennifer : no , i am jumpy about something personal and just ... someone i have to set straight , that 's all . maxine : you 're little , and you 're nice , and i pray you never see a need to set me straight . i will get these distributed for you , so you 're good to go . give 'em hell . jennifer : thank you , maxine . maxine : happy new year . jennifer : you too . happy new year . [ sighs ] daniel : hey . jennifer : hi . daniel : you 're -- you 're still here . jennifer : yeah . daniel : do you -- do you , uh , do you have a minute ? jj : paige ... paige : i -- i -- i knew you probably just freaked out about me taking off so quickly , and ... and then when i called to say that i was n't coming back , well , of course then you flipped out . and that was all my fault . jj : no , paige , listen . paige : i should have handled it better . and then , i probably caught you off guard by just showing up back in town and surprising you . but now thank god everything 's back to normal , and we can be together like always . jj : paige , you do n't understand . we 're not getting back together . paige : but you just said you wished you could take back what you said . jj : what i meant was -- was that i was too harsh . and i should n't have blurted it out like that and walking away without explaining , that -- that was n't right . paige : jj , i do n't understand . why are you doing this ? jj : i 'm really sorry . paige : i do n't want apologies . i want an explanation . now . eric : good , you 're still here . nicole : oh . you were looking for me ? how did you know i was here ? eric : i called your office . nicole : oh , must be important . eric : it is . i wan na know what you were doing in serena 's hotel room . jordan : what am i going to do with that information ? hmm . you know , it does n't come as a complete shock . it 's not like i have n't been warned about you and warned and warned . and , i mean , almost from the beginning , i knew about your past with abigail . chad : and now you know about melanie . jordan : and that you made pretty much the same mistakes that you made with her . chad : all i can say is that i 've tried to learn from those mistakes . that 's why , since from the beginning , i have done my best not to pressure you into anything , and i still want you to feel that way . so whatever you decide , uh , i 'll respect it . jordan : let me ask you a question . if you were in my shoes , what would you do ? chad : if i was in your shoes and i found out what you just found out about me , i would walk out that door , and i would never come back . jordan : well , it 's a good thing you 're not in my shoes . maggie : hey . brady : hey , how 'd it go with your friend ? maggie : um , she 's better . she just needed someone to talk to . brady : my bet is , like me , she did n't want someone to talk to ; she wanted you to talk to because you are the best . maggie : oh , thank you . maybe , i do n't know . but we both know it 's all up to her now . brady : m - maggie ? um , hold on . did , uh , did melanie say anything to you about me ? maggie : no , why ? brady : i just got the weirdest vibe from her . it was as if she could n't get away from me fast enough . maggie : [ scoffs ] well , that is ridiculous . she adores you ! you know that . brady : i know , i feel the same way about her , but it was as if i did something to make her mad . maggie : well , what did you do ? brady : i asked her to go shopping . maggie : [ laughs ] okay , brady . that is ridiculous . why would that make her mad ? brady : i do n't know , that 's just it . you 're right , i 'm -- i 'm probably just being paranoid . maggie : yeah . eve : so you 're friends with abigail deveraux . how nice for you both . melanie : yeah , i am . i 'm friends with her . and she filled me in on what you did to her family and my dad . i guess you got him mixed up in that too . eve : [ chuckles ] little girl , i can tell how much you 're enjoying this smug , moral superiority regarding something you absolutely know nothing about , so i think it 's actually time for you to , like , move on . melanie : absolutely , no , that wo n't be a problem because , see , if you 're anything like your sister , then i do n't want anything to do with you . eve : [ chuckles ] god , i hate this town . jennifer : yeah , what did you want to talk about ? daniel : well , remember i promised to be completely up front with you from now on ? jennifer : yeah . daniel : well , um , i told you nicole and i are friends again , but now it seems like it might turn into something more . she and i are going out tonight on a date . jennifer : yeah , um ... i 'm not surprised , and thank you . i appreciate you telling me that . and i 'm -- i 'm happy , i really am , for both of you . daniel : thank you . and i hope your 2015 is your best year ever . jennifer : yeah , well , 2014 just set that bar so high so ... [ both laugh ] daniel : yeah . jennifer : no , happy new year ! daniel : okay . jennifer : this is great . daniel : all right . jennifer : oh , do n't wear that , um , that blue and purple tie . daniel : you said you liked it . jennifer : no , i lied . it 's awful . maxine : [ sighs ] thank god you 're still here . dr. mcgonigle just called in sick . is there any way you can cover his shift tonight ? daniel : uh ... nicole : i do n't know what you heard , but ... eric : i heard a lame excuse about you getting into serena 's room and writing a note . nicole : who told you that ? eric : does it matter ? because we both know it 's a lie . you went into her room , and you went through her things . nicole : i dropped off a gift . eric : i do n't buy that for a second , because you could 've had it delivered . you could 've left it at the front desk . there was no reason for you to go into that room other than to dig through her things . nicole : okay . eric : we both know you like to do that ! nicole : there is a big difference between searching someone 's name on the internet and breaking into a room . eric : bravo , you are right ! and you can land yourself in jail for breaking into a room . nicole : what , you 're thinking about pressing charges ? eric : that 's not my call . it 's serena 's . nicole : i did n't do anything wrong , and you ca n't prove -- eric : nicole , i 'm not gon na say this again . i want you to stay out of my life . and serena 's . nicole : [ scoffs ] oh . i ca n't believe melanie ratted me out , the little twit . i 'm gon na kill her . ugh . you know , jennifer , if you keep frowning like that , you 're gon na get wrinkles . hmm , wait , even more wrinkles . jennifer : i do n't have time for your snide remarks . i want to know what 's going on between your daughter and my son . paige : jj , talk to me . this is n't about how you feel about your dad , is it ? jj : no . paige : then is it because i thought i had to stay in california ? because i do n't . my grandfather was n't even really sick . it was just a misunderstanding . i 'm back for good . you understand that , right ? then what is it ? do you just not love me anymore ? jj : no , it 's not that , paige . paige : then what is it ? jj : i 'm just not good enough for you . daniel : maxine , i have plans for tonight , which i 'll change if i have to , but , um ... ooh , what about dr. wedret ? she said she was coming in , she 'd be willing to come in , right ? maxine : i could n't reach her . daniel : okay , just try her again . if she says no , then i 'll -- i 'll stay . maxine : okay , i 'll try . but in the meantime , can you take a look at just one patient ? daniel : uh , sure , yeah , let 's do it . serena : i -- i just wanted you to know that i am actually going to be on time for the first time in my life , so you do n't have to give me the extra 30 minutes that you usually do . eric : okay , great . serena : eric , something wrong ? eric : no . yes . serena : what is it ? eric : listen , i wanted to tell you in person , but i just found out . nicole did n't have the flower delivered . she was actually in your room .

[ both chuckle ] jennifer : there is something going on , because jj is a mess . eve : well , if you got a problem , why do n't you talk to jj about it , jennifer ? jennifer : i did talk to him . and then i asked if somehow you were involved , and he just jumped ... no , you know what ? he did n't . he just completely shut down . so now i 'm here asking you if you had anything to do with this breakup . eve : hmm , i did n't have to lift a finger because your son knows how to screw things up all on his own . and , you know what , if you do n't mind , just a moment . i 'd like for you to get the hell out of my house . jennifer : i am telling you if you do anything to hurt my son , you are going to be really , really sorry . paige : wait , wait , you 're not good enough for me ? what does that mean ? w - we 've talked about this . just because your father did something before you even -- jj : no , it has -- it has nothing to do with my dad . it 's about me and who i am and what i 've done . paige : what does that mean ? jj : i just told you . i 'm not good enough for you . and once you hear what i have to say , you 'll know why . eric : serena ? serena , you still there ? serena : eric , i 'm sorry . someone 's at the door . i should go . we 'll talk about this later . eric : what a mess . nicole : i saved your scrawny ass with those casino people , and this is how you repay me ? you tell eric about something that was completely innocent . melanie : i did n't tell eric anything . i did n't tell anybody anything , nicole . nicole : really , then how did he know that i was in serena 's room that night ?

why ? chad : because if i told you , then it would be self - serving , and i did not want you to think that i was trying to justify something that i ca n't . jordan : what did you do ? chad : i knew that gabi hernandez hired the guy who kidnapped and almost killed melanie . but instead of telling melanie , i let her go on thinking she and gabi were friends . and at the time , i told myself that i was just trying to protect her . jordan : were n't you ? chad : no . i was -- i was trying to control her . melanie : do n't be stupid ! of course i 'm happy to see you . i just -- i 'm a little , um -- i 'm a little wired up because i was supposed to go shopping with grandma for new year 's dresses . brady : so the idea of going shopping with maggie put you in a bad mood ?

we 'll go shopping together . melanie : no , no , absolutely not . serena : i was just napping . eric : in my old t - shirt . serena : do n't get a swelled head . i am not wearing this because of you and memories . i 'm wearing it because it is the most comfortable t - shirt in the history of t - shirts . eric , is that -- is that a pie in your hand ? eric : yes , yes , it is . my -- uh , my grandmother , she made it for you . she also wanted me to bring it over , with this . it 's an invitation to our new year 's eve party at the pub . serena : i thought i was already invited to the party at the pub . eric : yeah , you were . i told my grandma you were my date , but she does n't trust me enough not to blow it , so she made pecan coffee liqueur pie . she 's bringing out the big guns . serena : um , she does n't know how easily i am bought . eric : i see you still have the flower that nicole sent you . serena : yeah . yeah , it 's pretty . and so is the -- the note that came with it . it 's nice . she did n't have to apologize . eric : no , i think she did . just glad , for once , she took the high road . nicole : [ gasps ] oh , my ... these are tickets to the mayor 's new year 's eve ball . daniel : yeah . nicole : are you -- are you saying we 're finally going on our first date ?

paige : how much did you hear ? eve : well , enough to know that you and jj are having problems . paige : yeah , but jj knows what those problems are . i do n't . eve : honey , can you tell me what happened christmas day ? i mean , you 've been so quiet and sad ever since then , and i know you 're not seeing jj . paige : yeah , and you must be thrilled . eve : honey , look at me . i am not thrilled that you 're in pain . but i think i did try to warn you that boys can be so fickle , you know . paige : not jj . you do n't know what you 're talking about , okay ? jj and i are gon na be fine . eve : [ sighs ] no , sweetheart . that 's just not true . jennifer : i heard you arguing with paige , so obviously you have n't worked things out . jj : no . jennifer : but it sounds like she 's in town . i heard you say you were going to meet her . jj : yeah , she 's back , and it turns out her grandpa was n't sick and that she and her mom decided not to stay in l.a . jennifer : okay , well , that 's good news . you know , i think it 's really better to deal with this whole situation face - to - face . jj : nah , mom , we ca n't work things out . it 's over . jennifer : honey , that does n't make any sense . jj : you know what , people break up . it happens all the time . jennifer : oh , well , thank you for reminding me of that because i had no idea . jj : i just do n't understand why it 's such a big deal to you 'cause i 'm young , and most of my friends do n't even have a girlfriend . jennifer : jj , this is you we 're talking about . jj : in fact , they thought that it was kind of weird , you know , being so serious about a girl , and ... jennifer : oh , really ? jj : it 's just , they kind of made fun of me . jennifer : okay , well , again , we 're talking about you . we 're not talking about your friends . we 're not talking about what your friends think , jj . jj : what if it 's what i think ? that being my age and being so serious about a girl , it 's just ... jennifer : what ? it 's just what ? jj : just not a good idea . jennifer : it is if you love her . jj : okay , look , it does n't matter . that 's not what 's wrong . jennifer : no , you 're right . that 's not what 's wrong , and you talking about being too young to be so serious is not what 's wrong . you just do n't wan na tell me what 's going on . does this have anything to do with eve ? jj : no . why would you even ask that ? jennifer : because she 's been giving you grief ever since she heard about you and paige , and if she is causing problems for you , i am telling you right now , i am gon na march right over -- jj : okay , look , mom , i 'll tell you later , okay , but right now , i have to go , all right ? but what you need to know is , it has nothing to do with eve . jennifer : somehow , i do n't buy that . melanie : [ laughs ] that was n't an overreaction . `` hey , melanie , wan na go shopping ? `` `` no , absolutely not . `` you must think i 'm crazy . brady : no , i do n't -- i think you might be mad at me . melanie : no . brady : i think you 're mad at me . melanie : no , absol -- why -- why would i be mad at you ? you 've been great . you 've been really great , so why would i feel anything other than fine or awkward or weird or uncomfortable around you ? none of those things ! brady : well , i 'm glad i 'm -- i 'm glad that you 're not any of those things that you just mentioned . melanie : yeah . no , so any -- obviously any -- any awkwardness or uncomfortableness or weirdness that you 're feeling has nothing to do with you . i mean , to be honest , i was just gon na see maggie and hang out with her because she wanted to hang out , so we were gon na go shopping together because i have n't gotten to see her in forever because i 've been busy with work and the hospital , which i guess is the same thing , 'cause i work at the hospital now with the job . but the bottom line is that it has nothing to do with you . brady : right . i - i 'm so glad that you 're making time for maggie . melanie : i got ta go . brady : yeah , well , i do n't see you , happy new y -- to -- happ -- melanie : yes , absolutely . happy new year 's to you too . so good to see you , brady . brady : what just happened ? jj : i think i 'm in love with you . paige : and i love you . jj : god , how can i do this to her ? hey . paige : that 's it ? all you have to say to me is `` hey `` ? jj : no , it is n't . i 'm sorry i was n't returning any of your messages . that was n't cool . paige : i do n't care what 's cool or what is n't . i wan na know what 's going on . we get through all that stuff , i thought everything was okay , and then just like that , it 's over , and you wo n't even tell me why . jj : look , i 'm sorry that i was sending mixed messages . and what i was doing and what i did at christmas , that -- just blurting it out that we 're over , that -- that was n't right . it 's not what i wanted to say , and i really wish that i could take it back . paige : you mean that ? jj : yeah , i mean that . paige : oh , thank god . oh , i was so scared i 'd lost you . serena : mmm . this is amazing . are you sure you do n't want some ? eric : oh , want some , uh -- what ? serena : what is with you ? eric : what do you mean ? serena : i do n't know , you 're suddenly distracted . eric : you know what ? i think i , uh , i think i should go . serena : why ? eric : [ chuckles ] hey , this is all a little too -- too tempting . and i 'm not just talking about pie . serena : becoming a priest really has changed you . you did n't run from temptation back in the day . in fact , i remember you often had seconds . and i 'm not talking about pie either . eric : like i said , i think we should take things slow . serena : as long as we take it somewhere . nicole : you would n't be talking about eric , would you ? daniel : well , i know how much you love ... d , loved , uh , but i ca n't help thinking that a part of you is just not ready to let him go . nicole : melanie , listen to me , okay ? i can explain . melanie : okay , i 'm sure you can . how about i take a whack at it , though ? um , you found out eric 's ex - girlfriend is back in town , so you thought you 'd sneak into her room and snoop around . how am i doing so far ? nicole : any reason in particular you would be bringing that up now ? daniel : no , no , no , no , no . no , i just do n't want to start anything unless you 're certain . you 're absolutely , positively ready to get -- nicole : okay , all right . we 've already talked about this . eric is moving on , and that is something that i would like to do , okay ?

eric : you said it was a fancy flower . was it an orchid ? derrick : go see if they need you in the lobby . eric : okay . derrick : uh , why are you asking ? eric : because i 'm friends with the guest in that room . derrick : lucky her . well , i can assure you that the woman i let in was very trustworthy , and it was all above board . she just wanted to leave the flower and a note . eric : okay . so why did you let her into the room to do that ? why did n't you just do it yourself ? derrick : well , see , she insisted i give her a little time alone in the room to write the note , so it was all very innocent . eric : yeah , i bet it was . thank you . chad : and so when i saw nick with melanie 's scarf , i just went -- i went nuts . and i could n't find her , so i had assumed he did something with her . jordan : and you beat him up that badly ? chad : i would 've gone to prison if he pressed charges . jordan : so you signed an agreement to not let anyone know what gabi had done . chad : by then , i -- i really wanted to tell melanie , but i could n't . so i just became more and more obsessive and needy , exactly like i was with abigail . jordan : melanie said you had a dark side . chad : when i was with her . and when i was with abigail . yeah , i did . jordan : but not now ? chad : i guess getting shot and almost dying changes a guy . what are you thinking ? jordan : it 's just -- it 's a lot to process . this is a lot of new information . chad : and now that you have that information , uh ... what are you gon na do with it ?

'cause i ca n't come down here and babysit you every time johnny goes to school . so listen up , okay . craig : yes , teacher . carly : 99 times out of 100 , kids are perfectly fine in new situations . they adjust . even if they cry and scream and throw a tantrum when you drop them off , which johnny did not do -- they typically stop the minute you 're out of sight . craig : what if they forget to say good - bye ? carly : craig , that was probably a good thing . it means johnny was more interested in playing with his new friends . think about it , the boy 's been completely isolated . he 's spent so much time with adults . he 's probably so happy to be spending time with kids his own age . craig : do you mean it 's possible that he 's happy ? carly : yeah . in fact , i 'm sure he is . you need to relax . craig : i 'd like to . i really would , carly . but what if things are n't as picture - perfect as you make them out to be ? what if there 's a crisis in there ? it could be something as small as a food fight . or there could be a bully . that 's it . carly : where are you going ? craig : i ca n't take this anymore . i 'm going in there .

[ scene_break ] sam : i am pushing you . jason : no . sam : yes . jason : you 're not . sam : yes . if you ca n't answer that question without having to search for the words , then you 're probably not ready . jason : well , is anyone ever really ready -- i mean , to take full responsibility for creating a life , knowing that your kid 's life 's probably not gon na be perfect . they 're gon na get hurt , they 're gon na feel loss , and some of it might even be ... our fault . sam : ooh , ouch . you make parenthood sound like jumping off a cliff . jason : mm , it is sometimes . sam : not a fall you 're willing to take again ? jason : well , when i think about having a child ... it just seems too much to ask for from god . sam : you know what i can tell you ? the thought of having a child ... with you ... melts my heart .

[ sighs ] shawn : okay , i 'm listening . carly : there 's always a price to pay with sonny , okay ? you know , we 've had a big blowup , and sonny -- he 's not happy with me right now . shawn : okay , would n't he want to protect the mother of his sons ? carly : yeah , and that comes with a price tag , like bringing morgan home and a lot of other things . so sonny is not an option . i am not going to sonny . shawn : what 's the alternative ? carly : i 'll go to hawaii with you .

[ inhales deeply ] i know that you were -- are still grieving . i mean , you 've done an excellent job at moving forward , but , jason , i ... still see the sadness in your eyes . jason : well , i can tell you that it does n't honor jake to turn my back on life ... or close myself off from you . sam : i know . in that time when you were grieving , i thought that you might leave me . and i promised myself that i would love you enough to let you go . jason : you know i could never leave you . sam : i - i felt like i was trying to help , you know , that i wanted to fill that void so bad , but i 'm ... kind of glad we did n't get pregnant , jason . i do n't think either one of us was ready for that . jason : well , are you any clearer on what you want ? sam : well , when ... you were going into surgery , you said you wanted to live so that we could have a kid , if we were lucky enough to have one . do you still ... want a child ?

[ scene_break ] sam : i am pushing you . jason : no . sam : yes . jason : you 're not . sam : yes . if you ca n't answer that question without having to search for the words , then you 're probably not ready . jason : well , is anyone ever really ready -- i mean , to take full responsibility for creating a life , knowing that your kid 's life 's probably not gon na be perfect . they 're gon na get hurt , they 're gon na feel loss , and some of it might even be ... our fault . sam : ooh , ouch . you make parenthood sound like jumping off a cliff . jason : mm , it is sometimes . sam : not a fall you 're willing to take again ? jason : well , when i think about having a child ... it just seems too much to ask for from god . sam : you know what i can tell you ? the thought of having a child ... with you ... melts my heart .

[ chuckles ] lulu : he was the one who found me and valerie at the cabin . i 've never ... seen him so angry . he could n't even look at me . he told me that when he cheated on me , that he destroyed half of our marriage . and that what i 'd done with valerie obliterated the other half . laura : well , lulu ... i 'm sorry . lulu : when he left and went to check on valerie , that 's the last contact i 've had with him . for all i know , he 's been with her this whole time . they 're probably closer than they 've ever been . and i have no one to blame but myself . [ scene_break ] dante : i never thought lulu was capable of something like this . but she should have known better . she should have known johnny 's got a screw loose . valerie could have ended up hurt or worse . michael : well , valerie 's okay , though , right ? i mean , she was n't physically harmed and there 's no indication of corruption . dante : no , she 's in the clear , michael , but that 's not the point . sonny : the point is you ca n't forgive your wife . dante : why , can you blame me ? sonny : what lulu did was -- was wrong , vindictive , you know , unfair . but is that -- is that your wife under normal circumstances ? dante : no , that 's not her . sonny : then maybe you should acknowledge how badly you hurt her . dante : you mean that i was unfaithful to her ? sonny : yeah . dante : acknowledge that i did that to hurt her ? i have , sonny . i have . and i -- i 'll regret it for the rest of my life . but that does n't give her a free pass to go and -- and commit crimes and harbor fugitives . sonny : it 's over , the legal situation . now you got -- you got to deal with your wife , the mother of your child . unless you 're telling me that you want to walk away from your family . dante : you think i 'd walk away from rocco ? you know me better than that . sonny : what about lulu ? you made promises -- for better or for worse . you ca n't let the anger separate you . that 's what carly and i did for years . well , we made it back to each other , but you want to lose that time with lulu ? or do you want to figure out a way to fix this ? dante : i understand what you 're trying to do , and i appreciate it , i really do . but you and carly are nothing like me and lulu . [ sighs ] [ door closes ] michael : well , you tried . [ scene_break ] sam : there is no signs of a forced entry , no evidence of an outside intruder . clearly the whole thing was staged . carly : oh . no offense to your pi skills , but jason could n't figure that out for himself ? sam : well , i - i think maybe he could have if it had n't been for elizabeth . carly : you think she set the whole thing up ? sam : i raise the possibility . carly : did you raise it to elizabeth in front of jason ? sam : yes . carly : oh , my gosh . how did she maneuver her way out of that one -- with tears of wounded innocence or offended outrage ? sam : a little bit of both . carly : unbelievable . [ groans ] sam : but the point is i do n't think jason 's gon na be in the mood for a party tonight , especially since he does n't even remember it 's his birthday . carly : okay , well , jason has n't focused on anything but elizabeth and her nonexistent stalker since new year 's eve . might be nice for him to be around people who are n't trying to manipulate him , people who just want to have a good time . sam : yeah , maybe , if he does n't feel like he 's being pressured . carly : okay , i hear what you 're saying , but i 'm not going to be dishonest with jason . i ca n't . that 's what elizabeth does . and he 's alive and i want to celebrate and i think he should be with you and i -- sam : no , no , no . do n't , do n't ! carly : i ca n't help it . sam : please , do n't . do n't say that out loud . if jason and i are going to be together , we have to find our own way back to each other . carly : okay , all right . i will really try hard to respect that . sam : i hope so . because nothing can happen until jason is clear on who he is now and what he wants from the rest of his life . [ scene_break ] jason : you 're right . i guess i never really did know you . could n't tell when you were lying then . i ca n't tell now . elizabeth : i owned what i did . i ruined us , and i get it . you ca n't move past it 'cause the deception was too great . jason : you mean the time you left my wife and child to grieve ? you 're right . i ca n't move past that . that 's a little hard for me to move past . elizabeth : okay , but that -- there was a time when we were in love ... without the burden of that lie between us . jason : are you sure ? because the first time you told me you loved me was right after you learned who i really was . elizabeth : all right . jason : yeah , that 's what i thought , then . elizabeth : all right , fine . you know what ? then let 's talk about our friendship . let 's talk about when i open my home to you when you had no place to go . or how about all those months we spent together getting to know each other . that was real , jason . that time we had together was honest . and i swear on everything we shared , i am not trying to trap you by manipulating you or our little boy . jason : are you asking me to take your word when you 've already proven that i ca n't trust you ? elizabeth : i s -- i swear , jason . i would never do something so terrible and horrible . i swear it on my life , i swear it on my children 's life , and i swear it on my love for you . jason : we need to focus here . this is about whether or not someone 's breaking into this house and terrorizing jake . elizabeth : it was n't me . i would not scare our son any more than you would . we 're his parents . and no matter how far apart we are , jake has to be the one thing we agree on . jason : you 're right . are you and jake going to be okay here ? elizabeth : yes . jason : okay . i 'll call you in the morning . elizabeth : [ sighs ] jason : hey , um ... would you lock the door behind me ? elizabeth : yes . jason : okay . jake : did sam make dad go away again ? [ scene_break ] nikolas : of course , there 's a risk involved . there always is . but if it 's real and at last ... ... damn , it can transform your life . is n't that a risk worth taking ? hayden : it should be . nikolas : yes , it should . so , we agree . we agree that we love each other . so why are you holding back ? hayden : what if i do n't deserve you ? [ scene_break ] lulu : valerie set this all in motion by seducing my husband , okay ? i had the right to be angry ! and maybe i even had the right to act out . i just ... took it too far . and now it 's all snowballed , and all of a sudden , i 'm the villain . laura : you 've been completely reckless . absolutely no thought of the consequences -- just charging around , lashing out at everyone . and it 's a complete disaster . and mostly for you . lulu : i know , okay ? so what do i do now ? laura : you need to just slow down . you know , the only way i have ever been able to ... rebuild my own life is -- is to hold still for minute and just wait until you get some kind of clarity . lulu : that 's really good advice . i wish i had listened to you the first time . laura : i do , too . look , i 'm sorry i have to leave you like this , but i have to go home and look after your son . lulu ... i do still love you . lulu : i love you . so much . laura : okay . [ gasps ] dante , hi . dante : laura . laura : uh ... i - i was just talking with lulu , uh , telling her that , um , rocco 's all tucked in over at wyndemere , and he 's just doing fine . dante : thanks for , uh , looking after him . laura : my pleasure . lulu ... good night . lulu : good night . dante : can i come in ? [ scene_break ] carly : hey ! perfect timing . we 're just talking about how sam got those bogus charges dropped . sam : no , how carly led me to the guy who was able to exonerate me and all . carly : [ laughs ] jason : i owe you both . carly : cheers ! jason : thank you very much . carly : well , you know what , you can pay us back by joining us for a little impromptu celebration . jason : uh , you know what ? i 'd actually rather just have dinner in my room , if that 's okay . sam : well , we completely understand . right , carly ? carly : you just dodged an attempted murder charge , so , no , not really . and there 's another reason to celebrate . sam : carly ... carly ! jason : okay . what 's going on ? carly : happy birthday . jason : what ? carly : happy birthday , jason ! jason : uh ... carly : happy birthday ! jason : you know , i 've seen my birth date on quite a few documents , and i can guarantee you that i was not born in january . carly : no . not legally . jason quartermaine 's brother aj ran him into a tree new year 's eve 1996 , and you woke up in the hospital on january 22nd . and you started a new life , and you always considered that your birthday . jason : well ... i did not know that . thank you . carly : sam thought that you would n't want to celebrate . jason : what gave you that idea ? sam : i thought you just -- you 've had a long day . jason : longer than you know . carly : okay , i - it does n't have to be about the life you do n't remember . we can just celebrate the fact that you 're here . and you have a whole life ahead of you , whatever that life turns out to be . and you 're not in prison . and i think that 's good on any day -- especially today . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : no one made your dad go away . jake : but he left . elizabeth : because he does n't live with us anymore . but he said he would call in the morning , and i 'm sure you 'll see him tomorrow . jake : but i wanted him to stay . elizabeth : i know , baby . i know you wanted him to stay . and i -- this is so confusing for you , but just know that your dad loves you very much . but we 're not going to get married and we 're not going to live in the same house . [ knock at door ] jake : [ gasps ] maybe dad came back ! elizabeth : do n't answer until i know who it is ! okay , go ahead . it 's grandma laura . [ sighs ] laura : hi ! oh , hi , honey . oh , i hope i 'm not stopping by too late . elizabeth : no , no , it 's -- it 's fine , although it is past someone 's bedtime . laura : ah , yeah . well , i bet you 're happy to be sleeping in your own bed , huh ? elizabeth : which is exactly where you should be , so please say goodnight and then head upstairs . jake : good night , grandma laura . laura : good night , sweetie . elizabeth : good night , baby . laura : [ sighs ] oh , honey , i was just on my way back to wyndemere . i wanted to check in on you , make sure you 're all right . i mean , i 'm assuming that since you 're staying here again that everything 's back to normal . elizabeth : nothing here is back to normal . [ scene_break ] sonny : it frustrates me to see dante just -- he 's going to throw away the best thing that ever happened to him . michael : sometimes you have to accept what you ca n't control . sonny : oh , yeah ? i 'm in this -- i 'm in this chair . i ca n't control it , but i 'm not going to accept it . because in life , you overcome your obstacles . sometimes you just got to push through to the other side . michael : just , i do n't know . not every obstacle can be overcome , though , dad . sonny : [ sighs ] okay , michael . i know you know this , but i 'm going to remind anyway . the quickest way to lose is to refuse to try . i hate these exercises . i hate it . why do you think i 'm here every day ? you think i like throwing combinations while i 'm sitting in a chair ? i ca n't go in the ring and dance around . why do you think i do it ? for my family , so i can walk again , so i can be the man you need me to be . i just hope one day ... ... you learn from my example . [ scene_break ] lulu : i called the hospital and they told me that valerie had been released . i was so glad to hear that she was n't hurt . dante : i 'm sure you were . lulu : i know that i screwed up , okay ? dante : do you ? do you know the hole that you dug for yourself ? you realize that the next 15 years of your life -- that 's rocco 's entire childhood -- you left in john zacchara 's hands . [ scoffs ] all he had to do was say that you got him to go after valerie and frame her for corruption and then left her in a life - threatening situation . lulu : i know . i know , okay ? i was wrong . i was so wrong , and i am so sorry . dante : so as long as you 're sorry , it 's okay that someone else -- valerie -- almost got killed . lulu : i risked my life to save her . i - i know that that does n't excuse the other things that i have done . but , i do n't know , maybe that could be a turning point . like , we can take all of our wrongs and we -- we could put them in the past and we could start to rebuild . dante : i just do n't think it 's that simple . lulu : no , i think it would be really , really difficult . but maybe now is the time for us to face all of our mistakes . it has to be better than where we 've been , right ? just endlessly angry and punishing each other with rocco stuck in the middle . we were happy . i did n't imagine that . a - and we loved each other , and i believe that deep down we still do . dante : so you wrecked valerie 's life because you love me ? you harbored a fugitive , a man i happen to despise ... because you love me ? lulu : yes . i did it because i love you , and i wanted to save our marriage . everything i did was for us . [ scene_break ] hayden : i blackmailed you into staying here with you the first time . i lied to you about my memory . and somewhere along the line , i started to care about you , but i did n't realize how much until you almost died . nikolas : it was the same for me , hayden . i could n't believe in you until i woke up in the hospital and found you right there by my side . hayden : well , maybe it 's too little , too late . maybe the mistrust runs too deep ... nikolas : no . hayden : ... and the first time something goes wrong , we 'll just break apart . nikolas : then let 's just wait until something does go wrong to find out . hayden : well , maybe i should just admit that i 'm carrying too much baggage and do tonight what i should have done months ago . nikolas : what 's that ? hayden : leave . get a life of my own and let you move on with yours . nikolas : what , just like that you walk out into the night ? hayden : well , no . no . fine , i 'll leave in the morning . nikolas : i have a better idea . you stay . and not just for tonight . stay forever . [ scene_break ] sonny : did your mom tell you anything about a cake for jason 's birthday at the hotel ? michael : yeah , actually . you want to ride over together ? sonny : no , why do n't you head over there and tell her that i 'm going to be late . uh , i want to keep -- you know , do some extra reps . michael : are you sure ? i can just text her . sonny : no , it 'd be better if you went , uh , 'cause she may ... she may need some support . michael : oh , you do n't think jason wants the party ? sonny : well , he 's a little standoffish , you know , about his old life , and he does n't like to be told what to do or anything like that , you know what i mean ? michael : yeah , well , i 'm sure that 's not what mom intends to do . sonny : well , it 'd just be good if you went , um , just to -- for support , you know . michael : [ sighs ] okay . all right . i 'm going to take off . uh , dad ... i learn from your example every single day . sonny : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] laura : have the police been able to come up with any sort of an explanation ? elizabeth : mnh - mnh . no . nothing . they -- they said that there was n't enough evidence to draw a conclusion . not that it stopped sam . [ chuckles ] laura : what has sam got to do with all this ? elizabeth : well , jason asked sam to look into the break - in . so she checked things out and could n't come up with an answer , so she leapt the conclusion that i 'm staging these incidents ... laura : [ gasps ] elizabeth : ... to keep jason close to home . [ jake sits on the steps drawing furiously . ] [ scene_break ] jason : you 're right . i have so much to be grateful for , many reasons to celebrate . it 's just , i do n't feel like having a party right now , not even a little one . carly : okay . okay . jason : [ groans ] carly , i 'm sorry . it 's been a long day . carly : no , no . i mean , i would rather you be honest with me than you grit your teeth and suffer through the whole time . so , it 's okay . we 're not gon na need that . jason : ma'am , i 'm sorry . actually , just , please , put it there . thank you for bringing it out . carly : no , i can take it home . sonny 's bodyguards can eat it . jason : put the cake -- carly , just let me say this , please ! i know you miss your friend . i know you wish he were here . i just wish i could be that guy -- carly : stop saying that ! you do n't want to have a party , we do n't have to have a party . but do n't stand there and talk like you 're a different person , because you 're not . you 're jason morgan , and you have a head injury and -- and your memories are messed up , but you 're still the same person . jason : [ chuckles ] carly : you are ! and i still love you . and my birthday wish for you is for you to stop trying to separate who you used to be and who you are now and just be yourself ! happy birthday ! jason : well , help yourself to some cake . think i 'm going to get some air . [ clears throat ] [ scene_break ] lulu : i made a terrible mistake . but it is over . johnny 's in prison and valerie 's safe . can we just talk about what 's gon na happen with us , if things are over with you and valerie ? dante : valerie ended whatever we were before new year 's . lulu : she did ? dante : yeah . i told her we got close over christmas and that was it for her . it 's ironic , you know ? you did n't need to go , uh , harboring fugitives and engaging in criminal activity to get rid of valerie -- she was already gone . lulu : were you sad when she ended it ? dante : no , i was relieved . 'cause i wanted to be with you the whole time , lulu . lulu : we can fix this . okay ? as long as we still love each other , we can find our way back . dante : no . no . we ca n't . lulu : no , do n't say that . please do n't say that . dante : look we -- we failed each other pretty miserably , okay ? we did n't hold onto each other when -- when we needed to the most . and now ... now it 's too late . lulu : no , no , it does n't have to be too late . we can go to counseling . we can work through our problems . dante : and say what ? what are we gon na say ? what are we gon na do ? we know too much -- too much stuff about each other now . and stuff i did n't even know about myself . i - i did n't think i could ever , in a million years , be unfaithful to you , but i was . i did n't think i could lie to you , but i did -- for months . i did n't think you could be unfair and vindictive and ruin someone 's dreams and risk their life out of spite , but you did . i guess ... i do n't know , maybe we 're not who we thought we were . lulu : well , we can be better . we can be better for ourselves , for rocco . dante : well , rocco 's the exact reason why -- why this has to end . i do n't want him to see us arguing . i do n't want to see him see how low we can sink . i want to keep all this ugliness as far away from him as possible . and that is why -- that is why we have to let each other go . lulu : no ! no . you 're wrong . dante : i 'm going to talk to a lawyer about a divorce , okay ? lulu : [ crying ] no . please , no . no , dante ! dante , please ! wait ! dante : [ sighs ] lulu : no !

[ scene_break ] elizabeth : i realize you do n't trust me , but i would never do what sam 's accusing me of -- not to my own son . jason : but it 's okay to deprive danny of his father , right ? elizabeth : and she hates me for what i did . that 's why she 's accusing me . you ca n't listen to her . jason : this is what i know . i know somebody did n't break into this house -- that much is clear -- and you 've lied to manipulate me before , so i 'm at a loss here . elizabeth : and that was a lie of omission . however wrong , i was not actively trying to hurt anyone . jason : so , what ? there 's levels of lies for you ? things you wo n't do , lines you wo n't cross ? elizabeth : if you do n't know the answer to that question , then you never knew me at all . [ scene_break ] hayden : uh , you know that , uh , saying `` be careful what you wish for , you might get it `` ? nikolas : yes . heard it many times . i know the feeling . hayden : well , then , you know what i 'm feeling right now . for months we 've been playing games with each other . nikolas : yes , and i thought we agreed to get past that . hayden : yeah , we were last night , you know , the way we connected . it was n't just the hot sex we had before . it was still very , very hot . nikolas : and i agree . hayden : right . but it was more than just sex . i let myself be real with you , nikolas . nikolas : okay . then why 'd you pull away from me when i said , `` i love you `` ? hayden : this is new for me , nikolas . i do n't -- i do n't know what to do with the love you 're offering . i do n't know what to say or how to act , but please do n't doubt my feelings and do n't start doubting me again . nikolas : it 's new for you for someone to say `` i love you `` ? hayden : well , not the words -- i 've heard them before . but the actual emotion ? it 's totally overwhelming . nikolas : are you trying to tell me that you 've never been in love before ? hayden : no . not even close . when my ex - husband said that he loved me , i do n't think either one of us ever believed it . it was just the next step , the right thing to do , like finding an apartment on the upper east side or going to the hamptons for the weekend . i never questioned it . i never asked myself how love was actually supposed to feel , if it could matter more than numbers scrolling in a bank account or the acquisition of things . but as soon as the things were gone , the love -- if you can even call it that -- was gone too . so , yeah , i 'm having a little trouble recognizing love when it 's right in front of me . nikolas : no , no , no , no . when you were by my side in the hospital , i could feel that you care about me , that you want me for me -- not the things that i can provide you , not the scrolling numbers in the bank account . no , no . that 's when it changed for me . that 's why i can say `` i love you . `` and see , look , it -- it 's supposed to make you happy , but instead all i see is fear in your eyes . hayden : you 're right . i 'm afraid to love you as much as i do . [ scene_break ] sonny : how are your hands holding up , michael ? michael : well , let 's just say i 'm glad i got these on . sonny : how 's sabrina ? michael : all right . dante : what ? sonny : you can take a break . michael : uh ... well , she left port charles , and she left believing that i did n't want to be with her and the baby , so now there 's nothing i can do to tell her i changed my mind . sonny : what about you ? dante : i was gon na stop by your house later tonight , tell you that , uh , john zacchara 's back in prison . sonny : wow . nice collar . good for you . dante : was n't me . it was nathan . i was busy tracking down my wife . you know , the mother of my child who , uh , would be standing minimum -- minimum -- 15-year sentence for accessory to , uh , kidnapping and assault if john zacchara had n't taken the fall for her . [ scene_break ] lulu : when johnny showed up at the haunted star i should have gone with my first instinct , and i should have sent him away . laura : why did n't you ? 'cause olivia had shown up that evening and told me that dante left rocco alone with valerie . he went and ran some errand . all i could see was -- was valerie taking my place with my husband and with my little boy . laura : yeah , i know . i remember that conversation . i also remember that you were suspiciously calm . lulu : i was literally so angry i could n't even think straight . and i told johnny that he could stay if he would get valerie out of my life . laura : oh ! lulu : that 's how valerie wound up ... tied to a chair in a burning cabin . laura : oh , my god ! lulu ! was -- was johnny trying to kill her ? lulu : no , mom , no ! the fire was accidental . but everything that happened up until that point was -- it was deliberate . but i promise , mom , this was n't my intention ! it was n't ! laura : [ sobbing ] [ scene_break ] dante : trust the two of you wo n't say anything . michael : yeah , of course not . sonny : it 's between family . dante : lulu and johnny were trying to set valerie up . michael : set her up how ? dante : well , johnny kept pretending to be `` bumping into `` valerie . she had no idea who he was . and , uh , johnny tried to make it look like valerie was on the take . michael : and lulu was in on this ? dante : at the very least , lulu and johnny were conspiring to make it look like valerie was corrupt and get her dropped from the police academy . as far as her getting kidnapped by johnny , i do n't know if that was his original plan or if his plan went sideways . but either way , valerie almost ended up dead , and lulu almost ended up being charged for accessory to murder . sonny : you clean it up ? dante : yeah , i cleaned it up . little bit of help from some people . nathan made sure lulu was n't anywhere found on the records , and , uh , johnny said he acted alone . sonny : so lulu 's protected ? dante : yes . legally speaking she will never be charged for the laws she broke . she will never answer for almost getting valerie killed . i just do n't know if i can ever get past that . [ scene_break ] lulu : mom , i know how this looks , okay ? but i was n't trying to get revenge on valerie . laura : were n't you ? lulu : i just wanted her to leave port charles , okay ? i wanted her far away from me and dante . i honestly believe that this is the only way i would have a chance to repair my marriage . laura : [ scoffs ] does dante know about this ? lulu : he knows everything . laura : oh ! [ chuckles ] lulu : he was the one who found me and valerie at the cabin . i 've never ... seen him so angry . he could n't even look at me . he told me that when he cheated on me , that he destroyed half of our marriage . and that what i 'd done with valerie obliterated the other half . laura : well , lulu ... i 'm sorry . lulu : when he left and went to check on valerie , that 's the last contact i 've had with him . for all i know , he 's been with her this whole time . they 're probably closer than they 've ever been . and i have no one to blame but myself . [ scene_break ] dante : i never thought lulu was capable of something like this . but she should have known better . she should have known johnny 's got a screw loose . valerie could have ended up hurt or worse . michael : well , valerie 's okay , though , right ? i mean , she was n't physically harmed and there 's no indication of corruption . dante : no , she 's in the clear , michael , but that 's not the point . sonny : the point is you ca n't forgive your wife . dante : why , can you blame me ? sonny : what lulu did was -- was wrong , vindictive , you know , unfair . but is that -- is that your wife under normal circumstances ? dante : no , that 's not her . sonny : then maybe you should acknowledge how badly you hurt her . dante : you mean that i was unfaithful to her ? sonny : yeah . dante : acknowledge that i did that to hurt her ? i have , sonny . i have . and i -- i 'll regret it for the rest of my life . but that does n't give her a free pass to go and -- and commit crimes and harbor fugitives . sonny : it 's over , the legal situation . now you got -- you got to deal with your wife , the mother of your child . unless you 're telling me that you want to walk away from your family . dante : you think i 'd walk away from rocco ? you know me better than that . sonny : what about lulu ? you made promises -- for better or for worse . you ca n't let the anger separate you . that 's what carly and i did for years . well , we made it back to each other , but you want to lose that time with lulu ? or do you want to figure out a way to fix this ? dante : i understand what you 're trying to do , and i appreciate it , i really do . but you and carly are nothing like me and lulu . [ sighs ] [ door closes ] michael : well , you tried . [ scene_break ] sam : there is no signs of a forced entry , no evidence of an outside intruder . clearly the whole thing was staged . carly : oh . no offense to your pi skills , but jason could n't figure that out for himself ? sam : well , i - i think maybe he could have if it had n't been for elizabeth . carly : you think she set the whole thing up ? sam : i raise the possibility . carly : did you raise it to elizabeth in front of jason ? sam : yes . carly : oh , my gosh . how did she maneuver her way out of that one -- with tears of wounded innocence or offended outrage ? sam : a little bit of both . carly : unbelievable . [ groans ] sam : but the point is i do n't think jason 's gon na be in the mood for a party tonight , especially since he does n't even remember it 's his birthday . carly : okay , well , jason has n't focused on anything but elizabeth and her nonexistent stalker since new year 's eve . might be nice for him to be around people who are n't trying to manipulate him , people who just want to have a good time . sam : yeah , maybe , if he does n't feel like he 's being pressured . carly : okay , i hear what you 're saying , but i 'm not going to be dishonest with jason . i ca n't . that 's what elizabeth does . and he 's alive and i want to celebrate and i think he should be with you and i -- sam : no , no , no . do n't , do n't ! carly : i ca n't help it . sam : please , do n't . do n't say that out loud . if jason and i are going to be together , we have to find our own way back to each other . carly : okay , all right . i will really try hard to respect that . sam : i hope so . because nothing can happen until jason is clear on who he is now and what he wants from the rest of his life . [ scene_break ] jason : you 're right . i guess i never really did know you . could n't tell when you were lying then . i ca n't tell now . elizabeth : i owned what i did . i ruined us , and i get it . you ca n't move past it 'cause the deception was too great . jason : you mean the time you left my wife and child to grieve ? you 're right . i ca n't move past that . that 's a little hard for me to move past . elizabeth : okay , but that -- there was a time when we were in love ... without the burden of that lie between us . jason : are you sure ? because the first time you told me you loved me was right after you learned who i really was . elizabeth : all right . jason : yeah , that 's what i thought , then . elizabeth : all right , fine . you know what ? then let 's talk about our friendship . let 's talk about when i open my home to you when you had no place to go . or how about all those months we spent together getting to know each other . that was real , jason . that time we had together was honest . and i swear on everything we shared , i am not trying to trap you by manipulating you or our little boy . jason : are you asking me to take your word when you 've already proven that i ca n't trust you ? elizabeth : i s -- i swear , jason . i would never do something so terrible and horrible . i swear it on my life , i swear it on my children 's life , and i swear it on my love for you . jason : we need to focus here . this is about whether or not someone 's breaking into this house and terrorizing jake . elizabeth : it was n't me . i would not scare our son any more than you would . we 're his parents . and no matter how far apart we are , jake has to be the one thing we agree on . jason : you 're right . are you and jake going to be okay here ? elizabeth : yes . jason : okay . i 'll call you in the morning . elizabeth : [ sighs ] jason : hey , um ... would you lock the door behind me ? elizabeth : yes . jason : okay . jake : did sam make dad go away again ? [ scene_break ] nikolas : of course , there 's a risk involved . there always is . but if it 's real and at last ... ... damn , it can transform your life . is n't that a risk worth taking ? hayden : it should be . nikolas : yes , it should . so , we agree . we agree that we love each other . so why are you holding back ? hayden : what if i do n't deserve you ? [ scene_break ] lulu : valerie set this all in motion by seducing my husband , okay ? i had the right to be angry ! and maybe i even had the right to act out . i just ... took it too far . and now it 's all snowballed , and all of a sudden , i 'm the villain . laura : you 've been completely reckless . absolutely no thought of the consequences -- just charging around , lashing out at everyone . and it 's a complete disaster . and mostly for you . lulu : i know , okay ? so what do i do now ? laura : you need to just slow down . you know , the only way i have ever been able to ... rebuild my own life is -- is to hold still for minute and just wait until you get some kind of clarity . lulu : that 's really good advice . i wish i had listened to you the first time . laura : i do , too . look , i 'm sorry i have to leave you like this , but i have to go home and look after your son . lulu ... i do still love you . lulu : i love you . so much . laura : okay . [ gasps ] dante , hi . dante : laura . laura : uh ... i - i was just talking with lulu , uh , telling her that , um , rocco 's all tucked in over at wyndemere , and he 's just doing fine . dante : thanks for , uh , looking after him . laura : my pleasure . lulu ... good night . lulu : good night . dante : can i come in ? [ scene_break ] carly : hey ! perfect timing . we 're just talking about how sam got those bogus charges dropped . sam : no , how carly led me to the guy who was able to exonerate me and all . carly : [ laughs ] jason : i owe you both . carly : cheers ! jason : thank you very much . carly : well , you know what , you can pay us back by joining us for a little impromptu celebration . jason : uh , you know what ? i 'd actually rather just have dinner in my room , if that 's okay . sam : well , we completely understand . right , carly ? carly : you just dodged an attempted murder charge , so , no , not really . and there 's another reason to celebrate . sam : carly ... carly ! jason : okay . what 's going on ? carly : happy birthday . jason : what ? carly : happy birthday , jason ! jason : uh ... carly : happy birthday ! jason : you know , i 've seen my birth date on quite a few documents , and i can guarantee you that i was not born in january . carly : no . not legally . jason quartermaine 's brother aj ran him into a tree new year 's eve 1996 , and you woke up in the hospital on january 22nd . and you started a new life , and you always considered that your birthday . jason : well ... i did not know that . thank you . carly : sam thought that you would n't want to celebrate . jason : what gave you that idea ? sam : i thought you just -- you 've had a long day . jason : longer than you know . carly : okay , i - it does n't have to be about the life you do n't remember . we can just celebrate the fact that you 're here . and you have a whole life ahead of you , whatever that life turns out to be . and you 're not in prison . and i think that 's good on any day -- especially today . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : no one made your dad go away . jake : but he left . elizabeth : because he does n't live with us anymore . but he said he would call in the morning , and i 'm sure you 'll see him tomorrow . jake : but i wanted him to stay . elizabeth : i know , baby . i know you wanted him to stay . and i -- this is so confusing for you , but just know that your dad loves you very much . but we 're not going to get married and we 're not going to live in the same house . [ knock at door ] jake : [ gasps ] maybe dad came back ! elizabeth : do n't answer until i know who it is ! okay , go ahead . it 's grandma laura . [ sighs ] laura : hi ! oh , hi , honey . oh , i hope i 'm not stopping by too late . elizabeth : no , no , it 's -- it 's fine , although it is past someone 's bedtime . laura : ah , yeah . well , i bet you 're happy to be sleeping in your own bed , huh ? elizabeth : which is exactly where you should be , so please say goodnight and then head upstairs . jake : good night , grandma laura . laura : good night , sweetie . elizabeth : good night , baby . laura : [ sighs ] oh , honey , i was just on my way back to wyndemere . i wanted to check in on you , make sure you 're all right . i mean , i 'm assuming that since you 're staying here again that everything 's back to normal . elizabeth : nothing here is back to normal . [ scene_break ] sonny : it frustrates me to see dante just -- he 's going to throw away the best thing that ever happened to him . michael : sometimes you have to accept what you ca n't control . sonny : oh , yeah ? i 'm in this -- i 'm in this chair . i ca n't control it , but i 'm not going to accept it . because in life , you overcome your obstacles . sometimes you just got to push through to the other side . michael : just , i do n't know . not every obstacle can be overcome , though , dad . sonny : [ sighs ] okay , michael . i know you know this , but i 'm going to remind anyway . the quickest way to lose is to refuse to try . i hate these exercises . i hate it . why do you think i 'm here every day ? you think i like throwing combinations while i 'm sitting in a chair ? i ca n't go in the ring and dance around . why do you think i do it ? for my family , so i can walk again , so i can be the man you need me to be . i just hope one day ... ... you learn from my example . [ scene_break ] lulu : i called the hospital and they told me that valerie had been released . i was so glad to hear that she was n't hurt . dante : i 'm sure you were . lulu : i know that i screwed up , okay ? dante : do you ? do you know the hole that you dug for yourself ? you realize that the next 15 years of your life -- that 's rocco 's entire childhood -- you left in john zacchara 's hands . [ scoffs ] all he had to do was say that you got him to go after valerie and frame her for corruption and then left her in a life - threatening situation . lulu : i know . i know , okay ? i was wrong . i was so wrong , and i am so sorry . dante : so as long as you 're sorry , it 's okay that someone else -- valerie -- almost got killed . lulu : i risked my life to save her . i - i know that that does n't excuse the other things that i have done . but , i do n't know , maybe that could be a turning point . like , we can take all of our wrongs and we -- we could put them in the past and we could start to rebuild . dante : i just do n't think it 's that simple . lulu : no , i think it would be really , really difficult . but maybe now is the time for us to face all of our mistakes . it has to be better than where we 've been , right ? just endlessly angry and punishing each other with rocco stuck in the middle . we were happy . i did n't imagine that . a - and we loved each other , and i believe that deep down we still do . dante : so you wrecked valerie 's life because you love me ? you harbored a fugitive , a man i happen to despise ... because you love me ? lulu : yes . i did it because i love you , and i wanted to save our marriage . everything i did was for us . [ scene_break ] hayden : i blackmailed you into staying here with you the first time . i lied to you about my memory . and somewhere along the line , i started to care about you , but i did n't realize how much until you almost died . nikolas : it was the same for me , hayden . i could n't believe in you until i woke up in the hospital and found you right there by my side . hayden : well , maybe it 's too little , too late . maybe the mistrust runs too deep ... nikolas : no . hayden : ... and the first time something goes wrong , we 'll just break apart . nikolas : then let 's just wait until something does go wrong to find out . hayden : well , maybe i should just admit that i 'm carrying too much baggage and do tonight what i should have done months ago . nikolas : what 's that ? hayden : leave . get a life of my own and let you move on with yours . nikolas : what , just like that you walk out into the night ? hayden : well , no . no . fine , i 'll leave in the morning . nikolas : i have a better idea . you stay . and not just for tonight . stay forever . [ scene_break ] sonny : did your mom tell you anything about a cake for jason 's birthday at the hotel ? michael : yeah , actually . you want to ride over together ? sonny : no , why do n't you head over there and tell her that i 'm going to be late . uh , i want to keep -- you know , do some extra reps . michael : are you sure ? i can just text her . sonny : no , it 'd be better if you went , uh , 'cause she may ... she may need some support . michael : oh , you do n't think jason wants the party ? sonny : well , he 's a little standoffish , you know , about his old life , and he does n't like to be told what to do or anything like that , you know what i mean ? michael : yeah , well , i 'm sure that 's not what mom intends to do . sonny : well , it 'd just be good if you went , um , just to -- for support , you know . michael : [ sighs ] okay . all right . i 'm going to take off . uh , dad ... i learn from your example every single day . sonny : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] laura : have the police been able to come up with any sort of an explanation ? elizabeth : mnh - mnh . no . nothing . they -- they said that there was n't enough evidence to draw a conclusion . not that it stopped sam . [ chuckles ] laura : what has sam got to do with all this ? elizabeth : well , jason asked sam to look into the break - in . so she checked things out and could n't come up with an answer , so she leapt the conclusion that i 'm staging these incidents ... laura : [ gasps ] elizabeth : ... to keep jason close to home . [ jake sits on the steps drawing furiously . ] [ scene_break ] jason : you 're right . i have so much to be grateful for , many reasons to celebrate . it 's just , i do n't feel like having a party right now , not even a little one . carly : okay . okay . jason : [ groans ] carly , i 'm sorry . it 's been a long day . carly : no , no . i mean , i would rather you be honest with me than you grit your teeth and suffer through the whole time . so , it 's okay . we 're not gon na need that . jason : ma'am , i 'm sorry . actually , just , please , put it there . thank you for bringing it out . carly : no , i can take it home . sonny 's bodyguards can eat it . jason : put the cake -- carly , just let me say this , please ! i know you miss your friend . i know you wish he were here . i just wish i could be that guy -- carly : stop saying that ! you do n't want to have a party , we do n't have to have a party . but do n't stand there and talk like you 're a different person , because you 're not . you 're jason morgan , and you have a head injury and -- and your memories are messed up , but you 're still the same person . jason : [ chuckles ] carly : you are ! and i still love you . and my birthday wish for you is for you to stop trying to separate who you used to be and who you are now and just be yourself ! happy birthday ! jason : well , help yourself to some cake . think i 'm going to get some air . [ clears throat ] [ scene_break ] lulu : i made a terrible mistake . but it is over . johnny 's in prison and valerie 's safe . can we just talk about what 's gon na happen with us , if things are over with you and valerie ? dante : valerie ended whatever we were before new year 's . lulu : she did ? dante : yeah . i told her we got close over christmas and that was it for her . it 's ironic , you know ? you did n't need to go , uh , harboring fugitives and engaging in criminal activity to get rid of valerie -- she was already gone . lulu : were you sad when she ended it ? dante : no , i was relieved . 'cause i wanted to be with you the whole time , lulu . lulu : we can fix this . okay ? as long as we still love each other , we can find our way back . dante : no . no . we ca n't . lulu : no , do n't say that . please do n't say that . dante : look we -- we failed each other pretty miserably , okay ? we did n't hold onto each other when -- when we needed to the most . and now ... now it 's too late . lulu : no , no , it does n't have to be too late . we can go to counseling . we can work through our problems . dante : and say what ? what are we gon na say ? what are we gon na do ? we know too much -- too much stuff about each other now . and stuff i did n't even know about myself . i - i did n't think i could ever , in a million years , be unfaithful to you , but i was . i did n't think i could lie to you , but i did -- for months . i did n't think you could be unfair and vindictive and ruin someone 's dreams and risk their life out of spite , but you did . i guess ... i do n't know , maybe we 're not who we thought we were . lulu : well , we can be better . we can be better for ourselves , for rocco . dante : well , rocco 's the exact reason why -- why this has to end . i do n't want him to see us arguing . i do n't want to see him see how low we can sink . i want to keep all this ugliness as far away from him as possible . and that is why -- that is why we have to let each other go . lulu : no ! no . you 're wrong . dante : i 'm going to talk to a lawyer about a divorce , okay ? lulu : [ crying ] no . please , no . no , dante ! dante , please ! wait ! dante : [ sighs ] lulu : no ! [ sobbing ] no ! [ scene_break ] hayden : stay forever ? as what , the most permanent houseguest in history ? nikolas : no . as my wife . hayden : nikolas , we talked about this . nikolas : i know . you wanted me to marry you to safeguard the company . you said it was a smart business move . but when i refused , you said it -- it was n't just a business maneuver . you said we were acting on our true feelings . hayden : right . and and you did n't agree . nikolas : and i still do n't . we do n't live in the medieval times anymore , hayden . marriage should n't be about stock or property or this or that . it should n't be about anything except love . that 's the way i -- hayden : well , that 's not very practical . nikolas : no , i suppose it 's not . oh , boy . look , all i know is that my life is a hell of a lot better with you in it . i just ... i think you 're so beautiful , intelligent , and charming and completely unexpected and i - i love that . you give me great advice . you support me when there 's no one around i can trust . you 've certainly won spencer over . won me over , too . i 'm so in love with you , i ca n't even take it . so ... marry me .

[ doorbell rings ] jack : billy ? you home ? we need to talk ! i see your car 's out front ! i know your motorcycle 's out of commission ! come on . i need to talk to you . i 'm sorry for coming by so late . i ... was concerned . or ... maybe i 'm interrupting . billy : [ sighs ] adam : ian , why do you look so shocked ? i 'm using your testimony to avoid a prison sentence , right ? why not use my help in your escape plans ? ian : well , at the risk of , uh , sounding cynical , dear boy , when have you ever helped me ? adam : well , it 's a matter of survival , right ? the way i look at it is neither one of us wants to grow old in prison . so once you testify that victor framed me , i 'll return the favor . i 'll help you disappear , unless , of course , you 've had a better offer . chelsea : relying on ian ward . how is that possibly a good idea ? we are putting my family 's future at risk . we are gambling with adam 's freedom , michael . michael : chelsea , we have been through all of this already . your husband 's prepared to take those odds . chelsea : well , maybe i 'm not . if ian gets on the stand and lies and christine catches him , this whole thing is over . michael : all right , christine is a sharp attorney , but as i keep reminding you , so am i . chelsea : can you guarantee me that this plan will work ? can you guarantee me that adam will get out from under these charges ? meredith : victor ? meredith . still here , i see . i thought you were headed home for the night . meredith : yeah , well , i was concerned about a certain patient . uh , i got some lab tests back that i went over . victor newman . meredith : look , i know that you had your reasons for sending him to solitary . very good reasons . meredith : but he has still not recovered from the stabbing incident , and there is an infection that i ca n't really seem to get rid of , so i 've changed his medication , but -- doctor . i appreciate your dedication , but the prisoner 's responding to treatment and much - needed discipline . in fact , the guards have n't heard a peep out of him all night . [ knock on door ] victor : tell the warden i need to see him ! he has the wrong man in solitary ! ian : [ laughs ] and they call me a fraud . adam : they do . ian : [ laughs ] you know , it 's always so hurtful , those names . swindler , con man , scam artist . adam : oh , you know , i mean , ian , if the shoe fits . ian : ah . but compared to you , i 'm a rank amateur . adam : oh , please , no . no , no , no . i 'm just a businessman sitting over here negotiating the terms of our deal . ian : oh , i know how you newmans do business . once i 'm on that stand and i point the finger at victor , you 'll have what you want , and you have no incentive to help me escape . adam : well , that 's always a possibility , i guess , but what other option do you have ? right ? either you trust me , you take your one shot at freedom , or you sit here and you rot . ian : mnh . adam : at which point all deals will be off the table , including that country club prison you 're so excited about . that 's gone . ian : oh . oh . you have me at a disadvantage . adam : mm - hmm . ian : but i still have an ace up my sleeve . adam : and what would that be , ian ? ian : without my testimony , you 're as good as convicted . oh , victor made damn sure of that . adam : well , i 'm damn sure that you can get a jury swayed in my favor , but i 'm also aware that you can get up on that stand and you can just all of a sudden forget certain details , right ? blow my case ? you would do that just for your personal amusement , would n't you ? ian : [ laughs ] i 'd be cutting off my own nose to spite by face . adam : well , you 're kind of a spiteful guy , though , are n't you ? ian : you wound me . adam : how do i know i can trust you to keep your word ? ian : well , how do i know i can trust you to keep yours ? adam : that 's the million - dollar question , is n't it ? ian : you have my word as a gentleman . adam : and you have mine . christine : we need to do this more often . late - night dinner . or , in fact , you know , we could just do late - night dessert . i like that idea . no shop talk , just the two of us . paul : yeah , me , too . christine : well , okay . it 's decided , then . i will resign as d.a . and open up a pie shop so we can have dessert together every single night . paul : oh , i 'm sorry . i 'm just distracted . christine : mm - hmm . anything i can help you with ? paul : no , i do n't think so . i was just checking my e - mails to see if i had any more information on alan james . i just ca n't seem to get that guy out of my mind . christine : hmm . the lab technician who committed suicide . paul : yeah . i mean , dylan and i were absolutely certain that victor had paid him off to alter the bingham toxicology reports . but when we traced the large influx of cash to his bank accounts , it led us to hilary . [ sighs ] i know i 'm supposed to remain objective in this job , but i would love to find proof that adam was set up . my gut keeps telling me that he did n't kill anyone , especially not an old woman who , well , quite frankly , was on her way out anyway . christine : and i would n't put anything past victor . i 'm just saying , if he framed adam , he did a damn good job , because i have a solid case . the best play that michael could do right now is just ask for a plea deal . paul : you know , even if you could convince michael to go along with it , i doubt he 'd be able to sell the idea to adam . i mean , he is hell - bent on clearing his name . christine : well , then maybe he should try and sell the deal to chelsea . michael : i would be lying if i said i can guarantee an acquittal . look , but i 'll tell you what i can promise . i promise you that i will defend adam to the best of my ability , and i will create reasonable doubt in the minds of those jurors . chelsea : what if it 's not enough , hmm ? what if ian double - crosses us and a jury decides that my husband is a murderer ? michael : then we 'll appeal . chelsea : adam could spend the rest of his life in a jail cell . he will be cut off from me , he will be cut off from his son , all because victor is framing him for a crime he did n't commit ! michael : or ian will come through for us and i will persuade the jury that adam is being framed by his vengeful father and all this will go away . chelsea , can you at least allow for the possibility of a favorable outcome ? can you do that for me ? chelsea : i do n't know what 's worse . putting all my hope in a lunatic like ian ward or watching victor destroy the man that i love . meredith : you know that i ca n't be held responsible for my patient 's health if he remains in solitary . i need to be able to treat him here in the infirmary . a change of medication , that 's just -- that 's nothing . it 's not enough . without the proper testing and monitoring , it -- duly noted , doctor , but you need to go home for the night . i 'll call if there 's any reason to reassess the prisoner 's confinement . meredith : okay . okay . meredith . walworth is like a small town . everyone who lives and works within these walls knows each other 's business . meredith : meaning ? i 've heard rumors about your interest in a particular inmate . it 's even been suggested that your brief leave of absence had something to do with that . meredith : [ chuckles ] come on . well , i really do n't know what you want me to say to that , mitch . nothing . i want you to listen . you 're an intelligent , savvy woman . i have no doubt you 've read all about victor newman . and not just his medical record . but for all his charm and his polish , he 's not to be trusted . he 's locked in here for a reason . please do n't forget that , meredith . good night . billy : i 'm kind of in the middle of something , jack . jack : i wo n't stay long . i just want to know that you are okay . wow . hit you harder than expected , did n't it ? billy : what are you talking about ? jack : i ran into bethany at the club . she told me you broke things off and , uh , that she did n't want to compete with someone who so obviously still had feelings for someone else . billy : yeah , what do you want me to say ? bethany 's not the right woman for me . jack : meaning what ? she 's not victoria ? billy : stop , jack . stop with -- you got to stop with the victoria stuff , okay ? what we had , we 're through . it 's over . and i 'm not looking for a temporary fix with bethany , so you can stop that , too . i want someone who gets me , jack , who wants me for who i am , that 's not trying to change me , not trying to fix me , somebody who loves me and accepts me with my flaws , not in spite of them . jack : okay , i understand . i do . you want what i have with phyllis . billy : [ sighs ] jack : when you 're with the right person , it 's like the whole world just falls into place . i wish everyone could experience that . i mean , it 's no secret phyllis and i have made our share of mistakes , but you know what ? it 's not easy . it takes commitment , it takes perseverance , but luckily phyllis and i both feel it 's worth it . billy : yeah , i hope i find that , too , one day . i 'm just not sure if i 'm worth it . jack : you 're worth it . you do deserve it , billy . you do . why would you say that ? billy : [ scoffs ] how much time you got ? jack : i know i am judgmental sometimes . i know i 've been your harshest critic lately , and that 's part of why i 'm here tonight . i want to -- i want to put that behind us . i want to get a fresh start , and that begins with you knowing i have your back , no matter what . so does phyllis . billy : [ sighs ] thank you , jack . i - i -- thank you . i appreciate it . i 'm fine now . really , i 'm -- i 'm good . jack : you sure ? billy : yeah . i 'm positive . jack : the right woman 's out there , billy . she 's probably closer than you think . you 'll find her . [ door opens ] billy : [ sighs ] [ door closes ] billy : i - i do n't -- phyllis : i - i ca n't stay . i ... [ voice breaking ] my shoe . where 's my other shoe ? [ sighs ] hey ! there 's no need to shout . you 'll wake the other prisoners . victor : i do n't give a damn if i wake up the dead . you 're being played by ian ward . do n't you realize that ? the last time you accused him of some nefarious plot , ward landed in the infirmary , you landed here in solitary with your privileges taken away . whatever it is , you need to let it go . victor : now , you listen to me . ian ward is aligning himself with the worst elements of my family . he will do everything he can to get the hell out of this hellhole while i rot in here . do you understand that ? ward is n't getting out of here for years . victor : he is working right now to get out of here much sooner than that . i promise you . do you have proof of this , or just more wild accusations ? victor : warden ... you know who i am . i 'm victor newman . and i 've done a hell of a lot of good in this world , and i will continue to do a lot of good in this world . you already have . with dr. gates . meredith : hi . paul : hi . dr. gates . meredith : hi , chief williams , mrs. williams . i , uh , i need to speak with you both . i have vital information that i think that you need to hear . paul : okay , i can see that you 're upset , but it 's also very late . why do n't you come to the department in the morning ? i 'll make time for you then , all right ? meredith : no , no , no . when you questioned me about the case against adam newman , you seemed to think that i knew more than i was telling . you were right . do you -- do you both want to hear what i have to say ? christine : we 're -- we 're listening , yeah . meredith : i know for a fact that adam killed constance bingham . christine : how ? meredith : his father told me he had proof . michael : finally . how did it go with ian ? chelsea : did you ask him point blank if he 's gon na stick to his story ? adam : uh ... michael : what are your instincts telling you ? i mean , does it seem as if he 's gon na pull a fast one ? what ? adam : guys , you know , ian was ... ian was ian . michael : what does that mean exactly ? chelsea : did he admit to having his own agenda or ... adam : well , no , i mean , i think he 's too clever for that , but , uh , suffice it to say , i think we came to an understanding , you know . he realizes testifying on my behalf is in his best interest . chelsea : okay , well , um , but it might not be in yours , you know ? i mean , i asked michael this question earlier , but i did n't like his answer , so i 'm gon na ask you . what if ian 's lying ? what if he never even got this confession from victor ? you know , what if he changes his story on the stand ? adam : well , i made it very clear to him that if he tries to tank me in court , we pull the plug and there goes his transfer to camp cupcake . i do n't think he 's gon na risk that . that guy 's getting his ass kicked every single day at walworth . he wants out of there . trust me . chelsea : so you really think he 'll keep up his end of the bargain ? adam : i think he 'd be a fool not to . michael : i guess that 's good enough for now . uh , why do n't the two of you try to get some sleep ? i will talk to you in the morning . chelsea : thank you . adam : thank you . that 's good advice , you know , he just gave about the sleep part . want to go upstairs , get some rest ? chelsea : uh , no , not until you tell me the truth . adam : honey -- chelsea : do n't . i know you , adam . something happened with ian and you 're not telling me . adam : you know what i think you should do ? i think you should take michael 's advice . stop worrying , okay , please ? chelsea : hold on , hold on . ian has the power to either vindicate you or have you convicted . and yet you 're acting like you have the upper hand . why is that ? adam : 'cause i feel like i do . chelsea : can you elaborate for me , or ... ? adam : listen , i understand that you 're skeptical of him . so am i , okay ? but when we go to trial and it 's his turn to take that witness stand , it 'll be up to me to determine whether he 's trustworthy or not . chelsea : so if you feel like he 's about to stab you in the back -- adam : if i feel like he 's about ready to stab me in the back , i give a signal to michael , right , and we do n't put him on the stand and he can traipse all the way back to his jail cell for all i care and say goodbye to all those special favors that he wanted . listen , babe , i 'm in control here , okay ? we have all the power , not him . i just had to go down there and remind him , that 's all . chelsea : [ sighs ] i 'm -- i 'm just still worried . adam : i know you are . i can tell you are . hey . do n't be . all right ? let michael worry . it 's what we pay him for . chelsea : [ chuckles ] adam : we 've got tonight , right ? got the rest of our lives . me and you . i 'm not really interested in wasting another moment , to be honest with you . hmm ? come here . see ? this better ? that smile . victor : has ian ward been spreading lies about dr. gates , as well ? i spoke to meredith tonight . she 's taken quite an interest in your welfare . victor : she 's concerned that i keep on taking my medication , all right ? i 'm very appreciative of her concern . i 'm sure you are . victor : what are you implying ? while the patient is getting better , the doctor is getting worse . do we understand each other , mr. newman ? victor : i would never do anything to harm that woman . what are you talking about ? dr. gates is a very compassionate physician . victor : yes . and she 's also a valuable asset to this facility . i wo n't let anyone take advantage of her . no more protests , no more promises . okay ? just do your time , stay out of trouble , let me worry about everything else , including ian ward and dr. gates . this prison has boundaries , mr. newman . if you cross them , your stay in solitary will be extended . christine : so you think you know the real victor newman ? meredith : yes . yeah , i do . paul : victor is a master at getting people to believe him . christine : it 's sort of like his superpower . meredith : is that a joke ? paul : no , it 's not a joke . in fact , i 'm gon na give you some very serious advice . do n't let victor fool you . meredith : okay , you 're not getting it . you 're not understanding . i am trying to keep someone from making fools of you . christine : how ? meredith : ian ward bragged to me that he was going to take the stand in adam 's defense . he was going to say that victor framed his own son . paul : ian ward is n't even on the list of potential witnesses . meredith : well , he will be . ian is a liar , and he will do anything to further his cause and make sure that victor never leaves prison . he 's already goaded him into a fight . that 's why victor is in solitary , and that is why i came forward tonight -- because my patient ca n't . christine : will you be willing to say all of this under oath ? jack : pam . jack abbott . uh , fine , thank you . listen , i 'm sorry for the short notice on this , but i want to plan a romantic weekend getaway with my wife . yeah . you know , the honeymoon we never had . here 's what i want . i want to set up the corporate jet , have it ready , champagne on ice , strawberries dipped in chocolate , and then book us an oceanside room in barbados . fill it with flowers . you think you can do that on short notice ? okay . keep me apprised of the developments , okay ? what ? no , no , no , no . phyllis is n't the lucky one . i am . and i want her to know i 'm never gon na forget that . thanks . billy : phyllis ... phyllis : i 've got to get going . jack 's gon na be wondering where i 'm at . billy : phyllis , just ... phyllis : what ? billy : stop , stop , stop . phyllis : what ? billy : you ca n't just run away , okay ? we tried that , and it did n't work . here we are . phyllis : we need to try a little harder . i ca n't keep sneaking behind his back and acting like i 'm a naughty child . billy : you were supposed to tell him , remember ? phyllis : i know i was supposed to tell him , but he never needs to know , ever . he deserves better than this , damn it . billy : well , so do we , do n't we ? i mean , do n't we ? so , what are we supposed to do ? we -- we just make a wish , blow out the candles , and hope that it -- that it all goes away ? phyllis : just stop . billy : we ca n't . i 've tried , you tried -- we ca n't do that . look , i do n't know the future . i do n't have a crystal ball , but all i know is that something is pulling us together . and if it 's just lust , well , it 's highly underrated . phyllis : billy ... billy : look ... this is more than chemistry , and i think we both know that . this is n't about jack . it 's not about sneaking around . i would give anything to just ... wake up and hold you in my arms , away from prying eyes . phyllis : [ sighs ] victor : as you can see , i 'm in a rather bad situation here . i hope you can help me set it right . now , if you do n't want to commit to that , i understand that . you should know what i 'm asking of you , okay ? i 'm here because some rather bad people ... want to see me ruined . and they testified against me ... with trumped - up charges . but the unkindest cut of all was that my family members , who i trusted the most ... went along with that testimony against me . i saw them convince the jury to convict me . arguably , the most painful thing that i have ever had to endure . but in spite of all that , i want justice . i want those who testified against me -- i want them punished . most of all ... that applies to a person that you hold in as much contempt as i . my son adam . meredith : i have been advised more than once that i should n't trust anything that victor says . but after treating his physical and emotional scars from the callous way that his family abandoned him ... i wo n't turn my back on him . ian ward is a liar . so in answer to your question , mrs. williams , yes , i will say that under oath . here is my card . and ... thank you for listening , and i hope to hear from you . christine : mm - hmm , thanks . paul : wow . so , either victor has her completely brainwashed or ... she 's telling the truth . christine : yeah . hey , listen , i do n't want to talk about ian or victor or anybody anymore . paul : oh , that 's right . christine : yeah , let 's go home , right ? paul : that can be arranged right now . as a matter of fact -- michael : i 'm glad i caught you . christine : oh , no . paul : oh , michael , not now . we 're off the clock . michael : you 're gon na want to hear this , i guarantee it . christine : déjà vu all over again . paul : then make it fast . or better yet , why do n't you come to my office in the morning ? michael : i am trying to spare you further embarrassment if adam stands trial . christine : embarrassment ? michael : i have a star witness , a prison insider , who will testify that victor set his own son up for murder . christine : ah , your star witness would n't happen to be ian ward would it ? michael : uh ... how did you know ? christine : word travels . listen to this -- i have my own prison insider , a much more credible witness . michael : mm . who we talking about ? paul : just missed her , actually . victor 's doctor ... meredith gates . shall we ? [ cell phone rings ] chelsea : oh , i think that 's you . adam : ai ... i 'll just let it go to voicemail . chelsea : oh , it -- it says it 's michael . could be important . adam : all right . hey , i thought we were done for the night . michael : i 'm sorry , but this wo n't wait . we have a problem , and it 's a big one . phyllis : it 's late . i have to go . billy : phyllis , we can stay together . phyllis : how ? billy : i do n't know how . phyllis : we ca n't even explain this to jack . billy : but we can just make it work . we can find time . you can come here whenever you want . we can get out of town when we can both make it . i do n't want to sneak around , but if that 's the only way , then ... look ... i know how hard this is on you . i know what i 'm asking . it 's hard enough for me to lie to jack , but you guys share everything . i know that . you share your bed , you share your life . sneaking around like this has got to be 10 times harder on you , i understand . phyllis : try a thousand . billy : i ca n't . i ca n't make the choice . it 's up to you . we either end this tonight , or we keep going the only way that we can . but it 's up to you . phyllis ... whatever you decide ... my feelings for you are not gon na change . victor : i 'm sure you 've heard that i 'm a patron of the arts . but you know this -- one artist who i really , really respect and appreciate , he is able to reproduce other people 's writings perfectly . now , some call this forgery . i call it genius . i will give you the information you need to contact this `` michelangelo . `` i want him to revise the pages of a woman 's diary . and i will pay him handsomely for that . chelsea : honey . mind if we join you ? meredith : yes . chelsea : well , that 's too bad . meredith : how did you track me down ? adam : well , after my attorney called , we figured your conscience must have got the best of you . probably too agitated to go home and you 're too cautious to go back to work , back to the prison , right ? chelsea : call it a lucky guess . meredith : well , listen , unlike you , i do n't have anything to feel guilty for . chelsea : oh , so what michael baldwin said was true . you are really going to testify for the prosecution . meredith : well , it 's my right to do so , and it 's my responsibility . i ca n't let ian lie under oath when i know the truth . adam : the truth ? the truth according to whom ? my father ? chelsea : i know you 're desperate to see the good and all in victor , but this man is plotting revenge against his own children . you realize that , right ? meredith : see , this is where you 're all wrong . victor , he loves his family , especially you . he loves you . he 's not -- he 's not framing you . he 's covering for you . adam : this is what he told you , right ? and -- and you believe him . chelsea : oh , my god , meredith , wake up . victor is playing you . you are being played . you realize that , right ? meredith : well , that 's really ironic , coming from you . because everything that i have seen and heard leads me to believe that adam is every bit his father 's son . so if anyone 's naive , i 'd say it was you . adam : okay , hold on a second . meredith . come on . that went well . what , babe ? chelsea : is meredith right ? am i being naive ? jack : oh , that 's just great . thanks , pam . i owe you . bye . phyllis : hey . jack : hey . phyllis : i got your message . what 's up ? jack : it 's billy . phyllis : what about him ? jack : i stopped by his place after hearing that he and bethany had split . phyllis : yeah , would n't lose too much sleep about that . i 'm pretty sure he 's not that serious about her . jack : well , that 's what i always assumed , too , that she was somehow a means to get through the pain of losing the real love of his life . phyllis : the real love ? jack : victoria . anyway , the more i listened to him , the more i realized i was wrong . he 's not looking backward . he 's looking to find something that everyone wishes they could find . the kind of love and trust that you and i have . hey , i -- i do n't want this to upset you . he 's going to find the woman of his dreams the same way i did . and if you ever forget that i treasure what you and i have , well , maybe you 'll remember this weekend . phyllis : what are you talking about ? what 's going on this weekend ? jack : i just hung up with pam in corporate travel . it 's all set . phyllis : what 's all set ? jack : i am taking you away to a weekend getaway in barbados . come on . we 've both been working so hard . it 's a chance to have a romantic time together . you do n't have to do anything . you do n't have to pack a bag . just take my hand -- phyllis : jack , no . no , i -- i ca n't . adam : i do n't know how the hell you 're gon na ask me that . chelsea : well , you have n't given me an answer . adam : i have an answer for you -- no , you 're not being naive . how could you be naive , babe , if you 've been a step ahead of all of us this entire time ? do n't let that woman , meredith , get to you . chelsea : meredith is not stupid . adam : we do n't know that . we do n't know her very well . and by the way , you can be book smart and have absolutely no street sense at all , okay ? i 've seen it before , and i suspect that 's what that woman has . she got hoodwinked by victor in two seconds . chelsea : she 's not the person putting doubts in my mind , adam . you are . adam : because you 're so convinced that i 'm hiding something . chelsea : uh , would n't be the first time . adam : well , that 's fair . you know , i deserve that . but i 'm not lying to you this time , okay ? chelsea : then you 're omitting something . something critical . it 's obvious . and the way that you 're acting , the way that you sound ... even the way you 're looking at me , it reminds me of all those times that you were obsessed with one - upping your father . adam : that 's not what this is . chelsea : then what is this ? adam : look , back then , it was all about newman enterprises . it was all about getting control over my father . chelsea : yeah . adam : well , that 's the furthest thing on my mind right now . i 'm defending my life . i 'm fighting for my family , and if i have to get down and play by victor 's rules in order to do so to beat him at his own game , then i 'm not gon na apologize for it , and i certainly do n't think i should have to explain that to anybody . chelsea : so there is something . what is it ? adam : baby , i love you , okay ? i do . you 're my wife , and i respect that . but you 're gon na have to trust me on this one . chelsea : i want to trust you . you have to stop leaving me in the dark . adam : there are certain times when things are better left unsaid , okay ? i 'm trying to protect you . please . chelsea : adam newman , i -- adam : i 'm gon na call michael , and i 'm gon na clue him in , okay ? victor : once the authorities suspect foul play , they 're gon na have to exhume the old lady 's body . and i want it to look as if she has been poisoned . so , i have ... the contact information written down ... along with a number of a bank account -- an overseas bank account -- from which you can withdraw funds as you need . i hope that you will help me bring my son adam to justice . i know that you 're the right person to do the job . jack : hey , hey , i did n't mean to upset you . no , exactly the opposite . i - i thought maybe a spur - of - the - moment trip to barbados , i thought it 's -- i thought you 'd love it . phyllis : i love that you thought of it . i love that . i just -- i -- i 'm booked . jack : this weekend ? phyllis : i have a business trip . jack : what trip ? i did n't see anything on the calendar . phyllis : the group that i talk to about from amsterdam , they 're gon na be in montreal at some big north american i.t . conference , and they want me to fly up and go over passkey with them . so i 'm gon na answer some of the questions about the technology . jack : what about natalie ? ca n't she handle this ? phyllis : no , she 's working on passkey , so i do n't dare take her off of that . you know , i can reschedule . i can do that . i can call them up , if that 's what you want . jack : no , no , no , no . you know what ? these clients are important , and this is important to you . we can go another time . barbados will always be there . phyllis : you sure ? jack : while you 're gone , i can put all of my focus on the foundation . but right now , i got to cancel these plans , tell this pilot to stand down . excuse me . [ cell phone rings ] billy : you okay ? phyllis : yeah . i just wanted to tell you that i 'm gon na be going out of town for a few days . billy : with jack ? phyllis : no . he 's gon na be busy at the foundation . billy : so where will you be ? phyllis : i was planning to be with you . spend the weekend together . unless you have other plans . [ next_on ] dylan : i am following up on a lead that could prove adam was framed . luca : what the hell are you doing with that guy ? i think he tried to bring down our company . victoria : `` our `` company ? who the hell do you think you are ? mariah : there 's been an accident ! it 's awful . you have to call 911 right now . sharon : okay , okay ! | victor 's plan is revealed when he remembers talking to a person in prison who only shows her / his hands . victor asks for help since s / he also wants revenge on adam . victor her / him the name of someone who can forge sage 's diary . victor also says that the forged diary will lead to the exhumation of constance 's body and the false autopsy report . the person agrees to help victor since s / he will get paid very well . victor 's plan is working perfectly because dr. gates agrees to testify for the prosecution that victor told her he has proof that adam killed constance bingham . jack almost catches billy and phyllis making love when he goes to the chancellor mansion to talk to billy . phyllis listens in on billy and jack 's conversation , and both she and billy feel guilty after jack leaves the mansion . billy tells phyllis that he loves her and he can live with just being her lover if that is what she wants , or she can tell jack the truth . billy tells phyllis that he will love her no matter what she decides to do about their relationship . phyllis turns down a romantic weekend getaway with jack because she has an important business trip . phyllis calls billy and tells him she wants to spend the weekend with him . | <s>[INST] [ doorbell rings ] jack : billy ? you home ? we need to talk ! i see your car 's out front ! i know your motorcycle 's out of commission ! come on . i need to talk to you . i 'm sorry for coming by so late . i ... was concerned . or ... maybe i 'm interrupting . billy : [ sighs ] adam : ian , why do you look so shocked ? i 'm using your testimony to avoid a prison sentence , right ? why not use my help in your escape plans ? ian : well , at the risk of , uh , sounding cynical , dear boy , when have you ever helped me ? adam : well , it 's a matter of survival , right ? the way i look at it is neither one of us wants to grow old in prison . so once you testify that victor framed me , i 'll return the favor . i 'll help you disappear , unless , of course , you 've had a better offer . chelsea : relying on ian ward . how is that possibly a good idea ? we are putting my family 's future at risk . we are gambling with adam 's freedom , michael . michael : chelsea , we have been through all of this already . your husband 's prepared to take those odds . chelsea : well , maybe i 'm not . if ian gets on the stand and lies and christine catches him , this whole thing is over . michael : all right , christine is a sharp attorney , but as i keep reminding you , so am i . chelsea : can you guarantee me that this plan will work ? can you guarantee me that adam will get out from under these charges ? meredith : victor ? meredith . still here , i see . i thought you were headed home for the night . meredith : yeah , well , i was concerned about a certain patient . uh , i got some lab tests back that i went over . victor newman . meredith : look , i know that you had your reasons for sending him to solitary . very good reasons . meredith : but he has still not recovered from the stabbing incident , and there is an infection that i ca n't really seem to get rid of , so i 've changed his medication , but -- doctor . i appreciate your dedication , but the prisoner 's responding to treatment and much - needed discipline . in fact , the guards have n't heard a peep out of him all night . [ knock on door ] victor : tell the warden i need to see him ! he has the wrong man in solitary ! ian : [ laughs ] and they call me a fraud . adam : they do . ian : [ laughs ] you know , it 's always so hurtful , those names . swindler , con man , scam artist . adam : oh , you know , i mean , ian , if the shoe fits . ian : ah . but compared to you , i 'm a rank amateur . adam : oh , please , no . no , no , no . i 'm just a businessman sitting over here negotiating the terms of our deal . ian : oh , i know how you newmans do business . once i 'm on that stand and i point the finger at victor , you 'll have what you want , and you have no incentive to help me escape . adam : well , that 's always a possibility , i guess , but what other option do you have ? right ? either you trust me , you take your one shot at freedom , or you sit here and you rot . ian : mnh . adam : at which point all deals will be off the table , including that country club prison you 're so excited about . that 's gone . ian : oh . oh . you have me at a disadvantage . adam : mm - hmm . ian : but i still have an ace up my sleeve . adam : and what would that be , ian ? ian : without my testimony , you 're as good as convicted . oh , victor made damn sure of that . adam : well , i 'm damn sure that you can get a jury swayed in my favor , but i 'm also aware that you can get up on that stand and you can just all of a sudden forget certain details , right ? blow my case ? you would do that just for your personal amusement , would n't you ? ian : [ laughs ] i 'd be cutting off my own nose to spite by face . adam : well , you 're kind of a spiteful guy , though , are n't you ? ian : you wound me . adam : how do i know i can trust you to keep your word ? ian : well , how do i know i can trust you to keep yours ? adam : that 's the million - dollar question , is n't it ? ian : you have my word as a gentleman . adam : and you have mine . christine : we need to do this more often . late - night dinner . or , in fact , you know , we could just do late - night dessert . i like that idea . no shop talk , just the two of us . paul : yeah , me , too . christine : well , okay . it 's decided , then . i will resign as d.a . and open up a pie shop so we can have dessert together every single night . paul : oh , i 'm sorry . i 'm just distracted . christine : mm - hmm . anything i can help you with ? paul : no , i do n't think so . i was just checking my e - mails to see if i had any more information on alan james . i just ca n't seem to get that guy out of my mind . christine : hmm . the lab technician who committed suicide . paul : yeah . i mean , dylan and i were absolutely certain that victor had paid him off to alter the bingham toxicology reports . but when we traced the large influx of cash to his bank accounts , it led us to hilary . [ sighs ] i know i 'm supposed to remain objective in this job , but i would love to find proof that adam was set up . my gut keeps telling me that he did n't kill anyone , especially not an old woman who , well , quite frankly , was on her way out anyway . christine : and i would n't put anything past victor . i 'm just saying , if he framed adam , he did a damn good job , because i have a solid case . the best play that michael could do right now is just ask for a plea deal . paul : you know , even if you could convince michael to go along with it , i doubt he 'd be able to sell the idea to adam . i mean , he is hell - bent on clearing his name . christine : well , then maybe he should try and sell the deal to chelsea . michael : i would be lying if i said i can guarantee an acquittal . look , but i 'll tell you what i can promise . i promise you that i will defend adam to the best of my ability , and i will create reasonable doubt in the minds of those jurors . chelsea : what if it 's not enough , hmm ? what if ian double - crosses us and a jury decides that my husband is a murderer ? michael : then we 'll appeal . chelsea : adam could spend the rest of his life in a jail cell . he will be cut off from me , he will be cut off from his son , all because victor is framing him for a crime he did n't commit ! michael : or ian will come through for us and i will persuade the jury that adam is being framed by his vengeful father and all this will go away . chelsea , can you at least allow for the possibility of a favorable outcome ? can you do that for me ? chelsea : i do n't know what 's worse . putting all my hope in a lunatic like ian ward or watching victor destroy the man that i love . meredith : you know that i ca n't be held responsible for my patient 's health if he remains in solitary . i need to be able to treat him here in the infirmary . a change of medication , that 's just -- that 's nothing . it 's not enough . without the proper testing and monitoring , it -- duly noted , doctor , but you need to go home for the night . i 'll call if there 's any reason to reassess the prisoner 's confinement . meredith : okay . okay . meredith . walworth is like a small town . everyone who lives and works within these walls knows each other 's business . meredith : meaning ? i 've heard rumors about your interest in a particular inmate . it 's even been suggested that your brief leave of absence had something to do with that . meredith : [ chuckles ] come on . well , i really do n't know what you want me to say to that , mitch . nothing . i want you to listen . you 're an intelligent , savvy woman . i have no doubt you 've read all about victor newman . and not just his medical record . but for all his charm and his polish , he 's not to be trusted . he 's locked in here for a reason . please do n't forget that , meredith . good night . billy : i 'm kind of in the middle of something , jack . jack : i wo n't stay long . i just want to know that you are okay . wow . hit you harder than expected , did n't it ? billy : what are you talking about ? jack : i ran into bethany at the club . she told me you broke things off and , uh , that she did n't want to compete with someone who so obviously still had feelings for someone else . billy : yeah , what do you want me to say ? bethany 's not the right woman for me . jack : meaning what ? she 's not victoria ? billy : stop , jack . stop with -- you got to stop with the victoria stuff , okay ? what we had , we 're through . it 's over . and i 'm not looking for a temporary fix with bethany , so you can stop that , too . i want someone who gets me , jack , who wants me for who i am , that 's not trying to change me , not trying to fix me , somebody who loves me and accepts me with my flaws , not in spite of them . jack : okay , i understand . i do . you want what i have with phyllis . billy : [ sighs ] jack : when you 're with the right person , it 's like the whole world just falls into place . i wish everyone could experience that . i mean , it 's no secret phyllis and i have made our share of mistakes , but you know what ? it 's not easy . it takes commitment , it takes perseverance , but luckily phyllis and i both feel it 's worth it . billy : yeah , i hope i find that , too , one day . i 'm just not sure if i 'm worth it . jack : you 're worth it . you do deserve it , billy . you do . why would you say that ? billy : [ scoffs ] how much time you got ? jack : i know i am judgmental sometimes . i know i 've been your harshest critic lately , and that 's part of why i 'm here tonight . i want to -- i want to put that behind us . i want to get a fresh start , and that begins with you knowing i have your back , no matter what . so does phyllis . billy : [ sighs ] thank you , jack . i - i -- thank you . i appreciate it . i 'm fine now . really , i 'm -- i 'm good . jack : you sure ? billy : yeah . i 'm positive . jack : the right woman 's out there , billy . she 's probably closer than you think . you 'll find her . [ door opens ] billy : [ sighs ] [ door closes ] billy : i - i do n't -- phyllis : i - i ca n't stay . i ... [ voice breaking ] my shoe . where 's my other shoe ? [ sighs ] hey ! there 's no need to shout . you 'll wake the other prisoners . victor : i do n't give a damn if i wake up the dead . you 're being played by ian ward . do n't you realize that ? the last time you accused him of some nefarious plot , ward landed in the infirmary , you landed here in solitary with your privileges taken away . whatever it is , you need to let it go . victor : now , you listen to me . ian ward is aligning himself with the worst elements of my family . he will do everything he can to get the hell out of this hellhole while i rot in here . do you understand that ? ward is n't getting out of here for years . victor : he is working right now to get out of here much sooner than that . i promise you . do you have proof of this , or just more wild accusations ? victor : warden ... you know who i am . i 'm victor newman . and i 've done a hell of a lot of good in this world , and i will continue to do a lot of good in this world . you already have . with dr. gates . meredith : hi . paul : hi . dr. gates . meredith : hi , chief williams , mrs. williams . i , uh , i need to speak with you both . i have vital information that i think that you need to hear . paul : okay , i can see that you 're upset , but it 's also very late . why do n't you come to the department in the morning ? i 'll make time for you then , all right ? meredith : no , no , no . when you questioned me about the case against adam newman , you seemed to think that i knew more than i was telling . you were right . do you -- do you both want to hear what i have to say ? christine : we 're -- we 're listening , yeah . meredith : i know for a fact that adam killed constance bingham . christine : how ? meredith : his father told me he had proof . michael : finally . how did it go with ian ? chelsea : did you ask him point blank if he 's gon na stick to his story ? adam : uh ... michael : what are your instincts telling you ? i mean , does it seem as if he 's gon na pull a fast one ? what ? adam : guys , you know , ian was ... ian was ian . michael : what does that mean exactly ? chelsea : did he admit to having his own agenda or ... adam : well , no , i mean , i think he 's too clever for that , but , uh , suffice it to say , i think we came to an understanding , you know . he realizes testifying on my behalf is in his best interest . chelsea : okay , well , um , but it might not be in yours , you know ? i mean , i asked michael this question earlier , but i did n't like his answer , so i 'm gon na ask you . what if ian 's lying ? what if he never even got this confession from victor ? you know , what if he changes his story on the stand ? adam : well , i made it very clear to him that if he tries to tank me in court , we pull the plug and there goes his transfer to camp cupcake . i do n't think he 's gon na risk that . that guy 's getting his ass kicked every single day at walworth . he wants out of there . trust me . chelsea : so you really think he 'll keep up his end of the bargain ? adam : i think he 'd be a fool not to . michael : i guess that 's good enough for now . uh , why do n't the two of you try to get some sleep ? i will talk to you in the morning . chelsea : thank you . adam : thank you . that 's good advice , you know , he just gave about the sleep part . want to go upstairs , get some rest ? chelsea : uh , no , not until you tell me the truth . adam : honey -- chelsea : do n't . i know you , adam . something happened with ian and you 're not telling me . adam : you know what i think you should do ? i think you should take michael 's advice . stop worrying , okay , please ? chelsea : hold on , hold on . ian has the power to either vindicate you or have you convicted . and yet you 're acting like you have the upper hand . why is that ? adam : 'cause i feel like i do . chelsea : can you elaborate for me , or ... ? adam : listen , i understand that you 're skeptical of him . so am i , okay ? but when we go to trial and it 's his turn to take that witness stand , it 'll be up to me to determine whether he 's trustworthy or not . chelsea : so if you feel like he 's about to stab you in the back -- adam : if i feel like he 's about ready to stab me in the back , i give a signal to michael , right , and we do n't put him on the stand and he can traipse all the way back to his jail cell for all i care and say goodbye to all those special favors that he wanted . listen , babe , i 'm in control here , okay ? we have all the power , not him . i just had to go down there and remind him , that 's all . chelsea : [ sighs ] i 'm -- i 'm just still worried . adam : i know you are . i can tell you are . hey . do n't be . all right ? let michael worry . it 's what we pay him for . chelsea : [ chuckles ] adam : we 've got tonight , right ? got the rest of our lives . me and you . i 'm not really interested in wasting another moment , to be honest with you . hmm ? come here . see ? this better ? that smile . victor : has ian ward been spreading lies about dr. gates , as well ? i spoke to meredith tonight . she 's taken quite an interest in your welfare . victor : she 's concerned that i keep on taking my medication , all right ? i 'm very appreciative of her concern . i 'm sure you are . victor : what are you implying ? while the patient is getting better , the doctor is getting worse . do we understand each other , mr. newman ? victor : i would never do anything to harm that woman . what are you talking about ? dr. gates is a very compassionate physician . victor : yes . and she 's also a valuable asset to this facility . i wo n't let anyone take advantage of her . no more protests , no more promises . okay ? just do your time , stay out of trouble , let me worry about everything else , including ian ward and dr. gates . this prison has boundaries , mr. newman . if you cross them , your stay in solitary will be extended . christine : so you think you know the real victor newman ? meredith : yes . yeah , i do . paul : victor is a master at getting people to believe him . christine : it 's sort of like his superpower . meredith : is that a joke ? paul : no , it 's not a joke . in fact , i 'm gon na give you some very serious advice . do n't let victor fool you . meredith : okay , you 're not getting it . you 're not understanding . i am trying to keep someone from making fools of you . christine : how ? meredith : ian ward bragged to me that he was going to take the stand in adam 's defense . he was going to say that victor framed his own son . paul : ian ward is n't even on the list of potential witnesses . meredith : well , he will be . ian is a liar , and he will do anything to further his cause and make sure that victor never leaves prison . he 's already goaded him into a fight . that 's why victor is in solitary , and that is why i came forward tonight -- because my patient ca n't . christine : will you be willing to say all of this under oath ? jack : pam . jack abbott . uh , fine , thank you . listen , i 'm sorry for the short notice on this , but i want to plan a romantic weekend getaway with my wife . yeah . you know , the honeymoon we never had . here 's what i want . i want to set up the corporate jet , have it ready , champagne on ice , strawberries dipped in chocolate , and then book us an oceanside room in barbados . fill it with flowers . you think you can do that on short notice ? okay . keep me apprised of the developments , okay ? what ? no , no , no , no . phyllis is n't the lucky one . i am . and i want her to know i 'm never gon na forget that . thanks . billy : phyllis ... phyllis : i 've got to get going . jack 's gon na be wondering where i 'm at . billy : phyllis , just ... phyllis : what ? billy : stop , stop , stop . phyllis : what ? billy : you ca n't just run away , okay ? we tried that , and it did n't work . here we are . phyllis : we need to try a little harder . i ca n't keep sneaking behind his back and acting like i 'm a naughty child . billy : you were supposed to tell him , remember ? phyllis : i know i was supposed to tell him , but he never needs to know , ever . he deserves better than this , damn it . billy : well , so do we , do n't we ? i mean , do n't we ? so , what are we supposed to do ? we -- we just make a wish , blow out the candles , and hope that it -- that it all goes away ? phyllis : just stop . billy : we ca n't . i 've tried , you tried -- we ca n't do that . look , i do n't know the future . i do n't have a crystal ball , but all i know is that something is pulling us together . and if it 's just lust , well , it 's highly underrated . phyllis : billy ... billy : look ... this is more than chemistry , and i think we both know that . this is n't about jack . it 's not about sneaking around . i would give anything to just ... wake up and hold you in my arms , away from prying eyes . phyllis : [ sighs ] victor : as you can see , i 'm in a rather bad situation here . i hope you can help me set it right . now , if you do n't want to commit to that , i understand that . you should know what i 'm asking of you , okay ? i 'm here because some rather bad people ... want to see me ruined . and they testified against me ... with trumped - up charges . but the unkindest cut of all was that my family members , who i trusted the most ... went along with that testimony against me . i saw them convince the jury to convict me . arguably , the most painful thing that i have ever had to endure . but in spite of all that , i want justice . i want those who testified against me -- i want them punished . most of all ... that applies to a person that you hold in as much contempt as i . my son adam . meredith : i have been advised more than once that i should n't trust anything that victor says . but after treating his physical and emotional scars from the callous way that his family abandoned him ... i wo n't turn my back on him . ian ward is a liar . so in answer to your question , mrs. williams , yes , i will say that under oath . here is my card . and ... thank you for listening , and i hope to hear from you . christine : mm - hmm , thanks . paul : wow . so , either victor has her completely brainwashed or ... she 's telling the truth . christine : yeah . hey , listen , i do n't want to talk about ian or victor or anybody anymore . paul : oh , that 's right . christine : yeah , let 's go home , right ? paul : that can be arranged right now . as a matter of fact -- michael : i 'm glad i caught you . christine : oh , no . paul : oh , michael , not now . we 're off the clock . michael : you 're gon na want to hear this , i guarantee it . christine : déjà vu all over again . paul : then make it fast . or better yet , why do n't you come to my office in the morning ? michael : i am trying to spare you further embarrassment if adam stands trial . christine : embarrassment ? michael : i have a star witness , a prison insider , who will testify that victor set his own son up for murder . christine : ah , your star witness would n't happen to be ian ward would it ? michael : uh ... how did you know ? christine : word travels . listen to this -- i have my own prison insider , a much more credible witness . michael : mm . who we talking about ? paul : just missed her , actually . victor 's doctor ... meredith gates . shall we ? [ cell phone rings ] chelsea : oh , i think that 's you . adam : ai ... i 'll just let it go to voicemail . chelsea : oh , it -- it says it 's michael . could be important . adam : all right . hey , i thought we were done for the night . michael : i 'm sorry , but this wo n't wait . we have a problem , and it 's a big one . phyllis : it 's late . i have to go . billy : phyllis , we can stay together . phyllis : how ? billy : i do n't know how . phyllis : we ca n't even explain this to jack . billy : but we can just make it work . we can find time . you can come here whenever you want . we can get out of town when we can both make it . i do n't want to sneak around , but if that 's the only way , then ... look ... i know how hard this is on you . i know what i 'm asking . it 's hard enough for me to lie to jack , but you guys share everything . i know that . you share your bed , you share your life . sneaking around like this has got to be 10 times harder on you , i understand . phyllis : try a thousand . billy : i ca n't . i ca n't make the choice . it 's up to you . we either end this tonight , or we keep going the only way that we can . but it 's up to you . phyllis ... whatever you decide ... my feelings for you are not gon na change . victor : i 'm sure you 've heard that i 'm a patron of the arts . but you know this -- one artist who i really , really respect and appreciate , he is able to reproduce other people 's writings perfectly . now , some call this forgery . i call it genius . i will give you the information you need to contact this `` michelangelo . `` i want him to revise the pages of a woman 's diary . and i will pay him handsomely for that . chelsea : honey . mind if we join you ? meredith : yes . chelsea : well , that 's too bad . meredith : how did you track me down ? adam : well , after my attorney called , we figured your conscience must have got the best of you . probably too agitated to go home and you 're too cautious to go back to work , back to the prison , right ? chelsea : call it a lucky guess . meredith : well , listen , unlike you , i do n't have anything to feel guilty for . chelsea : oh , so what michael baldwin said was true . you are really going to testify for the prosecution . meredith : well , it 's my right to do so , and it 's my responsibility . i ca n't let ian lie under oath when i know the truth . adam : the truth ? the truth according to whom ? my father ? chelsea : i know you 're desperate to see the good and all in victor , but this man is plotting revenge against his own children . you realize that , right ? meredith : see , this is where you 're all wrong . victor , he loves his family , especially you . he loves you . he 's not -- he 's not framing you . he 's covering for you . adam : this is what he told you , right ? and -- and you believe him . chelsea : oh , my god , meredith , wake up . victor is playing you . you are being played . you realize that , right ? meredith : well , that 's really ironic , coming from you . because everything that i have seen and heard leads me to believe that adam is every bit his father 's son . so if anyone 's naive , i 'd say it was you . adam : okay , hold on a second . meredith . come on . that went well . what , babe ? chelsea : is meredith right ? am i being naive ? jack : oh , that 's just great . thanks , pam . i owe you . bye . phyllis : hey . jack : hey . phyllis : i got your message . what 's up ? jack : it 's billy . phyllis : what about him ? jack : i stopped by his place after hearing that he and bethany had split . phyllis : yeah , would n't lose too much sleep about that . i 'm pretty sure he 's not that serious about her . jack : well , that 's what i always assumed , too , that she was somehow a means to get through the pain of losing the real love of his life . phyllis : the real love ? jack : victoria . anyway , the more i listened to him , the more i realized i was wrong . he 's not looking backward . he 's looking to find something that everyone wishes they could find . the kind of love and trust that you and i have . hey , i -- i do n't want this to upset you . he 's going to find the woman of his dreams the same way i did . and if you ever forget that i treasure what you and i have , well , maybe you 'll remember this weekend . phyllis : what are you talking about ? what 's going on this weekend ? jack : i just hung up with pam in corporate travel . it 's all set . phyllis : what 's all set ? jack : i am taking you away to a weekend getaway in barbados . come on . we 've both been working so hard . it 's a chance to have a romantic time together . you do n't have to do anything . you do n't have to pack a bag . just take my hand -- phyllis : jack , no . no , i -- i ca n't . adam : i do n't know how the hell you 're gon na ask me that . chelsea : well , you have n't given me an answer . adam : i have an answer for you -- no , you 're not being naive . how could you be naive , babe , if you 've been a step ahead of all of us this entire time ? do n't let that woman , meredith , get to you . chelsea : meredith is not stupid . adam : we do n't know that . we do n't know her very well . and by the way , you can be book smart and have absolutely no street sense at all , okay ? i 've seen it before , and i suspect that 's what that woman has . she got hoodwinked by victor in two seconds . chelsea : she 's not the person putting doubts in my mind , adam . you are . adam : because you 're so convinced that i 'm hiding something . chelsea : uh , would n't be the first time . adam : well , that 's fair . you know , i deserve that . but i 'm not lying to you this time , okay ? chelsea : then you 're omitting something . something critical . it 's obvious . and the way that you 're acting , the way that you sound ... even the way you 're looking at me , it reminds me of all those times that you were obsessed with one - upping your father . adam : that 's not what this is . chelsea : then what is this ? adam : look , back then , it was all about newman enterprises . it was all about getting control over my father . chelsea : yeah . adam : well , that 's the furthest thing on my mind right now . i 'm defending my life . i 'm fighting for my family , and if i have to get down and play by victor 's rules in order to do so to beat him at his own game , then i 'm not gon na apologize for it , and i certainly do n't think i should have to explain that to anybody . chelsea : so there is something . what is it ? adam : baby , i love you , okay ? i do . you 're my wife , and i respect that . but you 're gon na have to trust me on this one . chelsea : i want to trust you . you have to stop leaving me in the dark . adam : there are certain times when things are better left unsaid , okay ?

and you , too ? yes , you were the one who put him up to it . viki : no . dorian : yes . who would have thought , all these years later , that we would become friends ? at least , i hope we are . viki : yes , we are . you 've been an amazing friend , dorian . whatever happens , i want you to know that . dorian : ok , no more of this doom - and - gloom talk . you 're not going to let me get rid of you this easily , are you ? todd : how 's jack ? blair : he just needed a glass of water . you did n't have to wait . todd : i wanted to . well , you know where i stand . todd : i 'm going to go see viki . see you . clint : dorian , you know of a heart that 's a match for viki ? why did n't you say something sooner ? dorian : because the donor is still alive , barely . clint : you mean , the donor is dying ? what the hell are you talking about ? dorian : clint , it 's ben . clint : my brother , ben ? dorian : yes . see , i 've seen his medical records . for some reason -- i do n't know , maybe it was curiosity -- he had the research done , and he learned that his heart was a perfect match for viki 's . i mean a perfect match . i know that nothing can be done about it , but i thought you should know . clint : well , thanks , dorian . i -- i appreciate you telling me . dorian : for what it 's worth . clint : i guess it should n't be any surprise -- i mean , that their hearts are a perfect match . ben really loved her . i mean he really , really loved her . i know he 'd want to do anything possible for her . todd : hey , dorian . what 's going on ? what 's the latest ? clint : todd todd : yeah , hey , clint . long time . clint : have n't seen you since you had your face worked on . todd : how is she ? dorian : there 's been a setback . todd : did she already have the transplant ? what happened ? clint : the transplant is n't going to happen , at least not right now . dorian : the donor heart was compromised . clint : we 're doing everything we can to find another one . todd : how much time does she have ? dorian : not much . todd : what are you guys telling me ? are you telling me she 's not going to make it ? kevin : what the hell are you doing here ? where 's my wife , huh ? todd : what am i , her babysitter ? natalie : dad ! hey . clint : oh , natalie . i 'm glad you 're here . natalie : i am so sorry . i just -- i just checked my messages . i need to see mom now . clint : well , come on . natalie : ok . mom . hey . viki : hi . natalie : i 'm so sorry it took me so long to get here . viki : it does n't matter . you 're here no that 's all that matters . all of you -- the people that i love most in the world . all of you -- you 're my life .Summarize.[/INST]todd and kelly return to llanview and get their stories straight , as blair catches them , and becomes suspicious . natalie is questioned by the police about paul , and calls john . john arrives , and she is released into john 's custody . he has a few questions of his own , and natalie informs him she did not kill paul , nor did she sleep with him . kevin , jessica , joey and clint rally around viki , as they remember times gone by . dorian arrives to lend her support , and informs clint there is a perfect match for her but the donor is barely clinging to life ben . ben evidently had the testing done some time ago , for reasons we do n't know .</s> | 1,344 |

katie : maybe it 's positive . maybe bill 's decided not to fight this . thorne : or it 's spencer 's strategy -- keep us guessing what he 'll do next . carter : katie , i realize this is still hard for you , but what you 're doing really is in your little boy 's best interests . katie : i know . thorne : katie would have done anything to stop it from coming to this . bill left her no choice . hey , you 're doing the right thing . you 're doing what any mother would do to protect her child . zoe : did i take it too far -- kissing you like that ? not that i 'm about to apologize , especially since that little miss emma shot you down . what is her problem , anyway ? oh , what am i saying ? look , emma is just a naive girl . she does n't know what you need . but i do . i 've always known what you need . zoe : we were so hot together . we still are ... if you 'd ... just ... let yourself go . quinn : i 'll get this to katie asap and have her whip it into a press release for your approval . ridge : thank you . quinn : oh , is she in the office today , or is she working from home ?

bill : not yet . but i did just come from another meeting with brooke . justin : oh , and she 's gon na come through for you ? bill : well , why does that surprise you ? justin : i do n't know . maybe it 's because she 's your ex - wife or maybe because she 's married to a man that despises you . you talk about putting the lady smack in the middle -- sheesh . bill : well , that 's not my intention . but if brooke can make headway with katie , all the better . justin : yeah , well , i gather she 's on her way to do that now . bill : i 'm praying brooke will come through for me ... but , more importantly , come through for will . katie : thanks for dropping him off , eva ! hey ! so , how was the beach with alonzo ?

are they making her life hell ? thorne : well , not yet , but i 'm sure it 's coming . ridge : facts are facts . he 's a horrible father . any judge is gon na see that . thorne : i agree . bill keeps letting his kid down , and katie ca n't trust that he wo n't keep doing it , so bill 's gon na have to face the consequences . ridge : it 's awful . he completely ignored that little kid . as a parent , you just ca n't do that . he 's gon na learn his lesson the hard way , is n't he ? katie : brooke , i 've given this a lot of thought . this is n't some whim . i 've done a lot of soul - searching . brooke : bill loves his son , no matter bill 's shortcomings . katie : yes , i know that . but it does n't excuse the fact that he 's been absent from will 's life for the better part of a year . brooke : no , of course not . katie : and what it 's done to will -- i mean , he ca n't trust his own father . brooke : and how is going after sole custody gon na change that ? look , i know that bill has done some questionable things in his life , things that i certainly do n't condone , but you know what ? he adores his son . and you know that . how could you even consider keeping him from his son ? thorne : you know ... i hope you know i really appreciate your support on this . we do n't often agree on things , but on this , we do , and ... katie 's gon na need all the help she can get going up against spencer , so it 's just -- it 's good to know that my brother will be in our corner . ridge : [ laughs ] of course . come on . we 're family . and bill spencer -- he thinks he 's invincible , especially in business . but as a family man , he 's absolutely useless . just a horrible human being . and that little boy 's gon na be better off without him in his life . justin : got to hand it to brooke , stepping up for you this way . not many ex- wives would be so generous . bill : well , it 's more about her nephew than me . she knows that keeping will from me only harms our relationship that much more . it 's not that she is n't sympathetic to katie . she is . she knows her sister is doing what she thinks is best for our son . but it is n't , justin . now , i did n't have the chance to be there for liam and wyatt when they were growing up , and it would kill me if the same thing happened with will . brooke realizes that , and she knows that i can be the kind of father will needs . but i - i ca n't if i do n't get the chance . i just have to hope that she can convince katie of that . katie : okay , let me be clear . this is not about keeping bill away from his son . i want them to spend time together . i -- that 's not what this is about . brooke : but it must feel that way to bill , kind of like you 're stripping his son away from him . katie : okay , brooke . i have -- i have agonized over this . i - i do n't want to go to war with bill over full custody . i do n't want to do that . i do n't want to do it any more than i wanted my family to be torn apart . but that 's where we are right now . bill has been panting over steffy , his -- his son 's wife , who was pregnant with his grandchild , and during that time , he completely neglected will -- neglected him . it was like he did n't even exist . and i am his mother . i have to protect him from that . i have to give him the stability that he needs , and he ca n't get that from bill because bill is m.i.a . from his life , and you have got to understand that . brooke : i do . i know how much you love will . i know how important he is to you . you risked your life to bring him into this world . katie : [ sighs ] brooke : but to go to this extreme ? i know bill 's made mistakes . but as parents , have n't we all ? to think that you 're gon na punish him -- katie : i 'm not ! i 'm not ! i 'm not punishing bill . i - i - i would never do that ! i would never use my son like that ! have you been talking to bill ? i mean , what has he told you about this ? brooke : wait . i - i just need to know that ... before bill was being neglectful of his son , was he an attentive father ? katie : yes , o - of course he was , but that does n't excuse what has happened recently . brooke : no , okay , it does n't , but i just want you to be aware of the road that you 're going down . this is a custody battle . you 're going to war with bill . that 's gon na be horrible , and you 're gon na drag your son right into it . there 's no way you can shield him from that . is that what you want for your son ? katie : no ! no , i do n't , but i do n't have any other choice . brooke : you do . you do have a choice . katie ... you have to remembr why you loved bill . you have to remember all of the good things that he brought into your life . you have to remember how much he loves your son -- a son that you share together . please , just drop this custody battle . do it for you , do it for bill , and , most importantly , do it for your son ! | quinn manages to catch ridge alone and assures him not to have second thoughts . he made the right decision keeping intimates . he says he wished his wife felt the same . they mention katie and she says she will testify for katie if she wants . she tried her best to keep bill away from wyatt years ago . ridge says brooke was married to bill so he does not understand why she is taking his side . carter tells katie that he knows her heart is not in this but she is doing the best thing for her child . zoe asks xander what is his problem for shutting her down . she figures it is emma he is thinking of . she reminds him of how hot they were together . now he is so far away . she kisses him and again he does not resist . but then he pulls away and says he can not do this . they are playing with fire and yes he cares for emma . she is important to him . she tries to kiss him again but this time he pulls back . she says she is willing to wait as emma can not give him what he wants like she does . bill meets brooke again at the restaurant and he asks her to talk to katie as she listens to her . do it today . will is growing up fast and it will be college before you know it and he needs to repair the damage now . bill tells justin that brooke will come through for him .and for will . will comes home and wonders what carter , thorne and his mom are doing . | <s>[INST] quinn : if you are second - guessing yourself , don't . allocating funds for intimates over hope for the future was the right decision . ridge : i 'm not second - guessing myself . i know it 's the right choice . i just wish that my wife felt the same way . quinn : ooh . things still a little tense with her ?

not that i 'm about to apologize , especially since that little miss emma shot you down . what is her problem , anyway ? oh , what am i saying ? look , emma is just a naive girl . she does n't know what you need . but i do . i 've always known what you need . zoe : we were so hot together . we still are ... if you 'd ... just ... let yourself go . quinn : i 'll get this to katie asap and have her whip it into a press release for your approval . ridge : thank you . quinn : oh , is she in the office today , or is she working from home ? ridge : she 's home , i think . quinn : she 's been doing that a lot lately . ridge : i know . but she 's got a lot of things going on -- the custody battle with bill , and , listen , she 's just worried about her boy . again , i support her . quinn : so do i . bill is toxic . that 's why i kept him away from wyatt for as long as i could . and i think katie is doing the right thing . i do , and if she wants me to testify for her , i will . carter : katie , it 's completely normal to still have some inner conflict . you 're filing for physical and legal custody of your son . you do n't want to come between him and his father . thorne : well , she 's not doing that . bill will still be able to see his son , just at katie 's discretion . it 's what 's necessary to protect will . i 'm not saying bill 's a threat to the little boy , but you need to have full control of the situation . will : mommy ? thorne : hey , bud . will : what 's going on ? bill : you have n't had a change of heart , have you ? brooke , listen to me . will is growing so fast . i mean , blink and he 's off to college , starting his own life . i want to make the most of the time that we have together , repair the damage i 've done to our relationship and build an even stronger one . but if this heads to court ... i do n't want it to come to that . and you can help me keep that from happening . brooke : bill , i already told you i think that my sister 's overreacting , but , still -- bill : i - i know that i 'm putting you in the middle of a complicated situation , and i hate that . but katie listens to you . if anyone can get her to change her mind , it 's you . please , brooke . talk to your sister on my behalf ... today . xander : [ sighs ] i ... ca n't do this . zoe : [ scoffs ] i think we already are . xander : no . i care about emma . i do n't want to hurt her . zoe : [ scoffs ] who says that you 're going to ? we 're just kissing . xander : we 're just playing with fire ... and we both know it . zoe : [ scoffs ] well , what 's a life without a little danger ? playing it safe gets you nowhere . xander : yeah . well ... maybe that 's fine for you , 'cause you 're not involved with anyone . zoe : seriously ? you call what you have with emma an involvement ? xander : okay , do n't throw shade at her , all right ? emma 's important to me . zoe : yeah , well ... there was a time when i was important to you , too ... when you could n't get enough of me . i 'd like to think you still can't . xander : you 're not hearing me . zoe : [ scoffs ] no , you 're not hearing me . i love you . look , i understand if you feel a bit torn , but just know ... that i 'm willing to wait until you realize that emma 's just a girl who ca n't give you what you want ... and i can . ridge : spencer 's totally without a conscience . he destroys people 's lives on a daily basis . does n't even matter who they are ... friends , business partners , family , his own sons ... my daughter . no one 's spared . then there 's brooke . she always finds a way to defend him . i do n't -- i do n't get that . she was married to him . she knows what he 's capable of . still , she finds a way to feel sorry for him . i 'm not sure why . bill : hey . justin : hey . so , i had another text from carter walton today in response to the custody issue . all they 've heard from our camp is radio silence . i think it 's starting to get to them . hope that was your intention . i mean , otherwise ... bill : otherwise what ? justin : well , normally , you would be in full attack mode . it is n't like you not to strike first . bill : well , part of me would like to do just that . but i 'm hopeful this whole mess can be avoided . justin : you were hoping brooke would talk to katie on your behalf . has anything happened on that front ? bill : not yet . but i did just come from another meeting with brooke . justin : oh , and she 's gon na come through for you ? bill : well , why does that surprise you ? justin : i do n't know . maybe it 's because she 's your ex - wife or maybe because she 's married to a man that despises you . you talk about putting the lady smack in the middle -- sheesh . bill : well , that 's not my intention . but if brooke can make headway with katie , all the better . justin : yeah , well , i gather she 's on her way to do that now . bill : i 'm praying brooke will come through for me ... but , more importantly , come through for will . katie : thanks for dropping him off , eva ! hey ! so , how was the beach with alonzo ? did you have fun ? will : it was okay . thorne : did you go boogie boarding ? will : his mom said the waves were too rough . katie : ohh . that 's a bummer . uh , why do n't you go on upstairs and get out of your swim stuff ? carter : i should be going . thorne : thanks for all your help , carter . carter : of course . brooke : his help with what ? katie : hey ! um ... wh - what are you doing here ? brooke : i wanted to come talk to you alone . hello , carter , thorne . thorne : brooke . carter : i was just leaving . i 'll see you back at the office . thorne : yeah , i 'm gon na get going , too , actually -- give you guys some privacy . tell will i said goodbye . katie : i will . thorne : hey . katie : bye . brooke : is will upstairs ? i 'd really like to see him . katie : yeah . yeah . he 's , um -- he 's upstairs . what are you doing here ? brooke : you and thorne -- it 's pretty obvious you two have gotten closer . katie : do you not approve ? brooke : no . i think you two will make each other very happy . but i am concerned about something . katie : what ? brooke : your decision to file for sole custody of your son . are you sure you know what you 're doing , katie ? [ camera shutter clicks ] [ camera shutter clicks ] bailey : i hardly see you anymore . carmen : yeah , and somebody 's really upset about it . bailey : carmen ! xander : well , they -- they have me working mostly in the intimates line now , so ... bailey : lucky them , getting to see that smile every day . xander : [ chuckles ] carmen : maybe i should leave you two . emma : hey , guys . carmen : emma , hey ! emma : bailey . how 's the ankle ? i still feel really bad . bailey : so much better . no worries . carmen : uh , we were just heading to a fitting . we should probably go . bye , guys . emma : hey . xander : hey . you okay ? emma : yeah . uh ... so ... about what happened earlier at bikini , or did n't happen ... i just wanted to let you know that it meant a lot to me -- everything you did to make such a special day for us . i know you 're a good guy , xander , and that you 're not trying to just take advantage of me . i just w - want to take things slowly . i know that can be frustrating for you . i just hope you can understand . zoe : i 'm willing to wait until you realize emma 's just a girl who ca n't give you what you want ... and i can . ridge : hey . thorne : hey . ridge : how 's katie holding up ? thorne : good . you know , it 's not easy , but she 's tough . ridge : she sure is . thorne : actually , i just came from her place , discussing the custody case with carter . quinn : are bill and his lawyers pushing back ? are they making her life hell ? thorne : well , not yet , but i 'm sure it 's coming . ridge : facts are facts . he 's a horrible father . any judge is gon na see that . thorne : i agree . bill keeps letting his kid down , and katie ca n't trust that he wo n't keep doing it , so bill 's gon na have to face the consequences . ridge : it 's awful . he completely ignored that little kid . as a parent , you just ca n't do that . he 's gon na learn his lesson the hard way , is n't he ? katie : brooke , i 've given this a lot of thought . this is n't some whim . i 've done a lot of soul - searching . brooke : bill loves his son , no matter bill 's shortcomings . katie : yes , i know that . but it does n't excuse the fact that he 's been absent from will 's life for the better part of a year . brooke : no , of course not . katie : and what it 's done to will -- i mean , he ca n't trust his own father . brooke : and how is going after sole custody gon na change that ? look , i know that bill has done some questionable things in his life , things that i certainly do n't condone , but you know what ? he adores his son . and you know that . how could you even consider keeping him from his son ? thorne : you know ... i hope you know i really appreciate your support on this . we do n't often agree on things , but on this , we do , and ... katie 's gon na need all the help she can get going up against spencer , so it 's just -- it 's good to know that my brother will be in our corner . ridge : [ laughs ] of course . come on . we 're family . and bill spencer -- he thinks he 's invincible , especially in business . but as a family man , he 's absolutely useless . just a horrible human being . and that little boy 's gon na be better off without him in his life . justin : got to hand it to brooke , stepping up for you this way . not many ex- wives would be so generous . bill : well , it 's more about her nephew than me . she knows that keeping will from me only harms our relationship that much more . it 's not that she is n't sympathetic to katie . she is . she knows her sister is doing what she thinks is best for our son . but it is n't , justin . now , i did n't have the chance to be there for liam and wyatt when they were growing up , and it would kill me if the same thing happened with will . brooke realizes that , and she knows that i can be the kind of father will needs . but i - i ca n't if i do n't get the chance . i just have to hope that she can convince katie of that . katie : okay , let me be clear . this is not about keeping bill away from his son . i want them to spend time together . i -- that 's not what this is about . brooke : but it must feel that way to bill , kind of like you 're stripping his son away from him . katie : okay , brooke . i have -- i have agonized over this . i - i do n't want to go to war with bill over full custody . i do n't want to do that . i do n't want to do it any more than i wanted my family to be torn apart . but that 's where we are right now . bill has been panting over steffy , his -- his son 's wife , who was pregnant with his grandchild , and during that time , he completely neglected will -- neglected him . it was like he did n't even exist . and i am his mother . i have to protect him from that . i have to give him the stability that he needs , and he ca n't get that from bill because bill is m.i.a . from his life , and you have got to understand that . brooke : i do . i know how much you love will . i know how important he is to you . you risked your life to bring him into this world . katie : [ sighs ] brooke : but to go to this extreme ? i know bill 's made mistakes . but as parents , have n't we all ? to think that you 're gon na punish him -- katie : i 'm not ! i 'm not ! i 'm not punishing bill . i - i - i would never do that ! i would never use my son like that ! have you been talking to bill ? i mean , what has he told you about this ? brooke : wait . i - i just need to know that ... before bill was being neglectful of his son , was he an attentive father ? katie : yes , o - of course he was , but that does n't excuse what has happened recently . brooke : no , okay , it does n't , but i just want you to be aware of the road that you 're going down . this is a custody battle . you 're going to war with bill . that 's gon na be horrible , and you 're gon na drag your son right into it . there 's no way you can shield him from that . is that what you want for your son ? katie : no ! no , i do n't , but i do n't have any other choice . brooke : you do . you do have a choice . katie ... you have to remembr why you loved bill . you have to remember all of the good things that he brought into your life . you have to remember how much he loves your son -- a son that you share together . please , just drop this custody battle . do it for you , do it for bill , and , most importantly , do it for your son !Summarize.[/INST]quinn manages to catch ridge alone and assures him not to have second thoughts . he made the right decision keeping intimates . he says he wished his wife felt the same . they mention katie and she says she will testify for katie if she wants . she tried her best to keep bill away from wyatt years ago . ridge says brooke was married to bill so he does not understand why she is taking his side . carter tells katie that he knows her heart is not in this but she is doing the best thing for her child . zoe asks xander what is his problem for shutting her down . she figures it is emma he is thinking of . she reminds him of how hot they were together . now he is so far away . she kisses him and again he does not resist . but then he pulls away and says he can not do this . they are playing with fire and yes he cares for emma . she is important to him . she tries to kiss him again but this time he pulls back . she says she is willing to wait as emma can not give him what he wants like she does . bill meets brooke again at the restaurant and he asks her to talk to katie as she listens to her . do it today . will is growing up fast and it will be college before you know it and he needs to repair the damage now . bill tells justin that brooke will come through for him .and for will . will comes home and wonders what carter , thorne and his mom are doing .</s> | 5,362 |

[ sighs ] i 'm relieved . and i 'm proud . you handled yourself like a real spencer . you did . just do n't make a habit of it , all right ? lulu : dad , i get it . all i managed to do is get myself kidnapped , and dante and this other cop , john mcbain , get the credit for the save . dante : well , there 's someone else we should thank . i 'd still be in lockup right now if it was n't for padilla . delores : i 'm gon na need you to stick around for a formal statement . michael . michael : yeah . statement . no problem . delores : thanks . starr : i ca n't believe you turned me in . michael : what was i supposed to do ? you tried to kill my father . sonny : you attacked your shrink ? kate : sonny , we need to talk . sonny : i 'm not gon na ask alexis to defend you . why do n't you ask johnny ? kate : please sit down ? please sit down ? sonny : 'cause he 's got a lawyer . you can hit him up . jason called me to meet him here . it was an emergency , so i 'm gon na go see him right now . kate : me . i 'm the emergency . anna : it 's good lulu 's okay , is n't it ? it 's really good . i just wanted to give them a little space , you know . private . [ sniffles ] elizabeth : it hurts , does n't it ? watching parents with their children , healthy , alive ? i 'm sorry . anna : no , it 's okay . [ voice breaking ] i mean , this is the way that i wanted it to come out , you know ? obviously that -- i 'm happy for luke . [ sniffles ] 'cause he was so scared , and really -- and i understood all his feelings , and i empathized with that . and -- when he hugged lulu -- elizabeth : you 'd give everything to have that moment with robin . anna : [ sniffles ] oh , i 'd give anything . anything . [ sniffles ] oh , god . elizabeth : i wish i could say that it -- that it all goes away , that there will come a time when you can see a little girl hugging her mom and it does n't just hurt . but it gets easier . not -- not easy . never easy . but easier . sam : ronnie shot lulu . i mean , we did n't know how bad she was hurt . dante took her to the hospital . jason , he had us handcuffed and -- and our legs were tied and gagged , and i was able to get lulu out and i was n't able to get myself out . i could n't get myself free . jason : it 's okay . we can talk about this later . sam : no , jason . ronnie had a gun . it -- it was jammed into my side . he was gon na kill both of us . jason : who ? you and mcbain ? sam : no . jason , me and the baby . i could feel his hand . it was shaking , and his fist was just about to squeeze , and i thought he was gon na kill me . i - i did n't know what to do , so i - i faked a fainting spell because ronnie was basically using me a shield . and i went down , and i heard a shot , and john killed -- he killed him . mcbain : the police are on their way . jason : you took a shot when my -- my wife was in the line of fire ? what the hell is wrong with you ? sam : wait a minute . i - i get that you 're freaked out -- jason : no , just -- just an -- just answer me . mcbain : it was a calculated risk . jason : and if you missed ? mcbain : i do n't miss . jason : if you 're such a great shot , why not drop dimestico before he even got a gun on sam ? why only take the shot when my wife was in the way ? sam : jason , stop ! he saved my life . our lives . delores : we 've got units en route to the haunted star . one fatality . detective ronnie dimestico . he went crazy and took two hostages . dimestico ? delores : we need to grab csi and be on our way right now . what about the girl ? delores : she can wait for her phone call . let 's go . starr : i can help you with the exact wording of my threats , if you 'd like . michael : i 'm glad you find this funny . starr : i do n't . michael : what are you even doing here ? you said you were leaving . starr : changed my mind . michael : yeah , you decided to stick around and find a way to kill my father ? starr : no , that 's not how it was , not at first . michael : at first you needed to find a gun , right ? luckily johnny had one available . starr : he did n't give it to me . i stole it . michael : why 'd you go -- why 'd you go anywhere near him ? starr : because you kept telling me that -- that your dad was innocent and that johnny was the one that framed him , so i - i went to confront him to settle it . michael : do you think he would tell you the truth ? if johnny hired a - a shooter to take out his own grandfather , do you think you can just knock on his door and ask him if -- if he -- if he killed your boyfriend and your little girl and he 'd say , `` yeah , i did `` ? starr : no , i thought that i - i would be able to tell if i looked him in the face , and i could , michael . i believe him . johnny did n't do this . michael : i got some news for you , starr . you 're not very good at spotting a liar . you still believe that garbage that anthony told you that night of the accident . you believe johnny , even though he had more motive than anyone . starr : oh , your dad has the most motive out of anyone . michael : do n't feel so bad , starr . i 'm actually not very good at spotting a liar myself . the whole time you were staying with me , i actually believed every word you said . starr : michael , i 'm sorry . michael : for which part ? starr : i - i thought that shooting your dad would bring me peace . michael : bring you peace . and what is it supposed to bring me ? i - i - i defended you , starr , a - and you pay me back by trying to kill my father ? starr : i was never lying to you or using you , michael . i do care . i care about you . michael : you have a real interesting way of showing it . lulu : you okay ? dante : yeah , i - i was n't the one who was shot . lulu : yeah , but you and ronnie go back years . i mean , this ca n't be easy for you . dante : look , it makes me sick . i looked up to the guy . i trusted him . it turns out i do n't know him at all . lulu : well , thank god padilla knew you . dante : yeah , like i said , if it was n't for her , i 'd still be in that cell . luke : and i 'd have lost my only daughter . elizabeth : i 'm really sorry you 're going through this alone . anna : i 'm not alone . i have mac and luke -- and you . it 's really strange to think of robert out there chasing after some child that he does n't even know , filling his life up with all - new dreams , i imagine . elizabeth : while you 've stayed here to face what you 've lost . anna : oh , let 's not talk about this anymore . elizabeth : okay . anna : how are you ? elizabeth : me ?

[ police radio chatter ] sam : no , really . i think we 're gon na be fine . mcbain : let a doctor decide that . [ camera shutter clicks ] jason : come on . it 's better to be safe . sonny : is this some kind of joke ? kate : no . it 's called d.i.d . dissociative identity disorder . it 's when a part of your brain breaks off and creates a completely separate person . sonny : separate person ? kate : yes , who says and does things that -- that the normal and sane part of you does n't know or remember at all . sonny : like falling in bed with -- with , uh , johnny zacchara . kate : yes . sonny : do you think i 'm actually buying that ? kate : i know , sonny . it sounds crazy . but this has been going on for months . sonny : without you realizing it ? kate : no . i - i knew something was wrong with me . every now and then , i would lose chunks of time , and i would have these i call them `` blackouts `` where i would show up somewhere and i did n't know how i got there . and that 's why i started seeing that psychiatrist in chicago . but then the episodes became more frequent -- sonny : and you had to find somebody closer to home . kate : right . that 's right . so , i - i became dr. keenan 's patient . sonny : well , i 'm sure he regrets that now , right ? kate : sonny , he 's the one that figured it out . he talked to the other person inside of me . sonny : you ? kate : no . no . her . she did n't want to leave . she wanted to take over and -- and push me down forever . sonny : y - you -- you mean the other person ? kate : yes . the other person . sonny : right . kate : she -- she 's the one that attacked dr. keenan . sonny : why ? kate : because she did n't want him to talk to you , tell you the truth . she did n't want him to admit us -- her -- us to shadybrook . sonny : you mean kate ? i 'm -- i 'm getting -- i 'm confused here . kate : she does n't go by `` kate . `` this person calls herself `` connie . `` elizabeth : kate 's still here waiting on a - a psych consult , and once that 's done , i assume she 'll be taken into custody . anna : wow . elizabeth : hmm . yeah , i know . anna : just goes to show you never know about people . it 's like you never know about life . elizabeth : yeah , i know . once i think i ca n't take another step , something like this happens , and now i have a friend who 's fighting for his life . anna : which just reminds you , you know , despite everything , we 're lucky we 're here . elizabeth : does n't make me miss jake any less . today 's his birthday . anna : elizabeth . elizabeth : i saw a commercial the other day . and it was so bizarre , because for a second , i - i thought , `` oh , that would be the perfect gift . he would love that . `` and now i - i ca n't -- i ca n't stop seeing the icing all over his little face . i - i just -- i 'd just be watching him blow out his candles , you know ? not visiting the cemetery . anna : oh . elizabeth : [ sighs ] i 'm sorry . anna : no , it 's okay . really , it 's all right . you know , you do n't want to hide from this -- this , um , this pain . this is what i 'm finding now , you know , not to go on about it . but [ sniffles ] that if you -- if you kind of go through the hurt , there 's -- there 's nice memories on the other side , right ? and -- and it gets easier . you said that . elizabeth : [ chuckles ] yeah . anna : and we 'd be just talking about it with someone who understands .

[ voice breaking ] will you believe me , please ? because it was n't me in that bed . it was her . elizabeth : sam . are you okay ? did jason find you ? sam : yeah , i 'm -- i 'm fine . and yes , jason found me . elizabeth : w - what about ronnie ? sam : he 's dead . elizabeth : oh , my god . t - that must have been terrifying . i - i 'm glad you 're okay . sam : yes , it was terrifying . i 'm fine , and i just , i needed to come here to get my vitals checked . i need to make sure everything 's okay with the baby . i 'm sorry . there was another nurse in here . elizabeth : no , it 's okay . i 'll do it for you . so , what about ronnie ? i mean , was -- was it jason ? sam : no , it was n't jason . elizabeth : john mcbain ? dante said he left you with him . sam : yeah , john mcbain killed ronnie and saved my life . if it were n't for him , i probably would not be here right now . elizabeth : well , i 'm glad everything worked out . sam : and -- and another thing , just so you know , you do n't have to bother running to jason about this . he already knows . jason : i do n't like you . mcbain : that 's a shame . jason : i do n't like how you 've been hanging around sam . i do n't like that you know things about our personal life . mcbain : i only know what i 've been told . jason : oh , yeah ? without you , she could n't get the dna test , right ? mcbain : i was trying to do her a favor . jason : were you doing her a favor when you read the results with her ? mcbain : she was scared . understandably so . she asked me to stay . i stayed . jason : you took advantage of her . mcbain : no . jason : like i said , i 'm the way to get to sonny . sam 's a way to get to me . mcbain : you 're wrong . sam has nothing to do with my investigation . you were n't around , and i tried to pick up the slack . jason : y - you got a kid , right ? and a girlfriend ? mcbain : yeah , i do . jason : why do n't you go be there for them and stay away from my wife ? mcbain : i have every intention of going home to them -- when this is over , when i throw your boss in jail . and if you do n't stay out of it , you 're going right along with him . hey guys ! luke : you disappeared on me . anna : yeah . it was family . i was kind of claustrophobic in the cubicle . luke : kind of lonely out here in the waiting area . anna : well , with all this going on , no . it 's -- oddly entertaining . luke : you know you do n't have to hide your feelings from me , slim . delores : if you guys say `` sorry `` or `` thank you `` one more time -- lulu : well , how could i not ? a lot of this is my fault . delores : what ? it was your fault that ronnie turned out to be a dirt bag who liked to beat on women ? lulu : no , it 's my fault that eddie was a suspect , and i ca n't believe that i basically insinuated you were the one who deleted the photos . dante : the hindsight 's 20/20 , baby . delores : yeah , it does n't matter what you set in motion . you set it right . lulu : well , it would n't have mattered if you had n't let dante out . dante : yeah , apparently i can be , uh , pretty convincing . delores : actually , it had nothing to do with you . everything to do with lulu . lulu : what ? delores : well , dante said that you were , uh , the first one to suspect ronnie . lulu : oh . yeah . well , i do n't know . it was something that i saw between you and your husband . i do n't know . i just felt like he was n't guilty . delores : well , you took a very big chance going after dimestico , especially after the way that he framed eddie . i decided to take a chance , too . dante : as nice as this moment is that you two are having right now , i would still like to hear you say that you let me out of lockup because you know i would n't assault a woman ever . delores : hmm , i do n't know -- yeah . lulu : does this have to be all about you ? dante : yeah . did you just notice that ? [ both laugh ] dante : look , i know you said no more , but thank you again , really . delores : we 're even . dante : not even close . elizabeth : i did n't go running to jason about anything . he asked me a question , and i gave him an answer . sam : i know he told you what 's going on between us . elizabeth : and i ca n't imagine what that 's been like for you . i mean , it 's traumatic enough going through a rape , but finding out that franco is the baby 's father -- sam : see , this is exactly what i 'm talking about . my own mother does n't even know any of this stuff , and the fact that you do -- elizabeth : what am i supposed to say ? jason needed someone to talk to . he was upset . sam : exactly . he was upset because i supposedly confided in john mcbain . but somehow , he 's allowed to confide in you and that 's okay . elizabeth : we 're friends . sam : oh , right . friends . elizabeth : i do n't know what you 're accusing me of , but let me be perfectly clear . i have no intention of getting in between you and jason . if anything , i 've been on your side . sam : i do n't need you fighting my battles . elizabeth : no , what you need is to talk to your husband . sam : we 're gon na get through this . elizabeth : i know you will . by the way , you and your baby are perfectly fine .

[ sniffles ] oh , god . elizabeth : i wish i could say that it -- that it all goes away , that there will come a time when you can see a little girl hugging her mom and it does n't just hurt . but it gets easier . not -- not easy . never easy . but easier . sam : ronnie shot lulu . i mean , we did n't know how bad she was hurt . dante took her to the hospital . jason , he had us handcuffed and -- and our legs were tied and gagged , and i was able to get lulu out and i was n't able to get myself out . i could n't get myself free . jason : it 's okay . we can talk about this later . sam : no , jason . ronnie had a gun . it -- it was jammed into my side . he was gon na kill both of us . jason : who ? you and mcbain ? sam : no . jason , me and the baby . i could feel his hand . it was shaking , and his fist was just about to squeeze , and i thought he was gon na kill me . i - i did n't know what to do , so i - i faked a fainting spell because ronnie was basically using me a shield . and i went down , and i heard a shot , and john killed -- he killed him . mcbain : the police are on their way . jason : you took a shot when my -- my wife was in the line of fire ? what the hell is wrong with you ? sam : wait a minute . i - i get that you 're freaked out -- jason : no , just -- just an -- just answer me . mcbain : it was a calculated risk . jason : and if you missed ? mcbain : i do n't miss . jason : if you 're such a great shot , why not drop dimestico before he even got a gun on sam ? why only take the shot when my wife was in the way ? sam : jason , stop ! he saved my life . our lives . delores : we 've got units en route to the haunted star . one fatality . detective ronnie dimestico . he went crazy and took two hostages . dimestico ? delores : we need to grab csi and be on our way right now . what about the girl ? delores : she can wait for her phone call . let 's go . starr : i can help you with the exact wording of my threats , if you 'd like . michael : i 'm glad you find this funny . starr : i do n't . michael : what are you even doing here ? you said you were leaving . starr : changed my mind . michael : yeah , you decided to stick around and find a way to kill my father ? starr : no , that 's not how it was , not at first . michael : at first you needed to find a gun , right ? luckily johnny had one available . starr : he did n't give it to me . i stole it . michael : why 'd you go -- why 'd you go anywhere near him ? starr : because you kept telling me that -- that your dad was innocent and that johnny was the one that framed him , so i - i went to confront him to settle it . michael : do you think he would tell you the truth ? if johnny hired a - a shooter to take out his own grandfather , do you think you can just knock on his door and ask him if -- if he -- if he killed your boyfriend and your little girl and he 'd say , `` yeah , i did `` ? starr : no , i thought that i - i would be able to tell if i looked him in the face , and i could , michael . i believe him . johnny did n't do this . michael : i got some news for you , starr . you 're not very good at spotting a liar . you still believe that garbage that anthony told you that night of the accident . you believe johnny , even though he had more motive than anyone . starr : oh , your dad has the most motive out of anyone . michael : do n't feel so bad , starr . i 'm actually not very good at spotting a liar myself . the whole time you were staying with me , i actually believed every word you said . starr : michael , i 'm sorry . michael : for which part ? starr : i - i thought that shooting your dad would bring me peace . michael : bring you peace . and what is it supposed to bring me ? i - i - i defended you , starr , a - and you pay me back by trying to kill my father ? starr : i was never lying to you or using you , michael . i do care . i care about you . michael : you have a real interesting way of showing it . lulu : you okay ? dante : yeah , i - i was n't the one who was shot . lulu : yeah , but you and ronnie go back years . i mean , this ca n't be easy for you . dante : look , it makes me sick . i looked up to the guy . i trusted him . it turns out i do n't know him at all . lulu : well , thank god padilla knew you . dante : yeah , like i said , if it was n't for her , i 'd still be in that cell . luke : and i 'd have lost my only daughter . elizabeth : i 'm really sorry you 're going through this alone . anna : i 'm not alone . i have mac and luke -- and you . it 's really strange to think of robert out there chasing after some child that he does n't even know , filling his life up with all - new dreams , i imagine . elizabeth : while you 've stayed here to face what you 've lost . anna : oh , let 's not talk about this anymore . elizabeth : okay . anna : how are you ? elizabeth : me ?

[ police radio chatter ] sam : no , really . i think we 're gon na be fine . mcbain : let a doctor decide that . [ camera shutter clicks ] jason : come on . it 's better to be safe . sonny : is this some kind of joke ? kate : no . it 's called d.i.d . dissociative identity disorder . it 's when a part of your brain breaks off and creates a completely separate person . sonny : separate person ? kate : yes , who says and does things that -- that the normal and sane part of you does n't know or remember at all . sonny : like falling in bed with -- with , uh , johnny zacchara . kate : yes . sonny : do you think i 'm actually buying that ? kate : i know , sonny . it sounds crazy . but this has been going on for months . sonny : without you realizing it ? kate : no . i - i knew something was wrong with me . every now and then , i would lose chunks of time , and i would have these i call them `` blackouts `` where i would show up somewhere and i did n't know how i got there . and that 's why i started seeing that psychiatrist in chicago . but then the episodes became more frequent -- sonny : and you had to find somebody closer to home . kate : right . that 's right . so , i - i became dr. keenan 's patient . sonny : well , i 'm sure he regrets that now , right ? kate : sonny , he 's the one that figured it out . he talked to the other person inside of me . sonny : you ? kate : no . no . her . she did n't want to leave . she wanted to take over and -- and push me down forever . sonny : y - you -- you mean the other person ? kate : yes . the other person . sonny : right . kate : she -- she 's the one that attacked dr. keenan . sonny : why ? kate : because she did n't want him to talk to you , tell you the truth . she did n't want him to admit us -- her -- us to shadybrook . sonny : you mean kate ? i 'm -- i 'm getting -- i 'm confused here . kate : she does n't go by `` kate . `` this person calls herself `` connie . `` elizabeth : kate 's still here waiting on a - a psych consult , and once that 's done , i assume she 'll be taken into custody . anna : wow . elizabeth : hmm . yeah , i know . anna : just goes to show you never know about people . it 's like you never know about life . elizabeth : yeah , i know . once i think i ca n't take another step , something like this happens , and now i have a friend who 's fighting for his life . anna : which just reminds you , you know , despite everything , we 're lucky we 're here . elizabeth : does n't make me miss jake any less . today 's his birthday . anna : elizabeth . elizabeth : i saw a commercial the other day . and it was so bizarre , because for a second , i - i thought , `` oh , that would be the perfect gift . he would love that . `` and now i - i ca n't -- i ca n't stop seeing the icing all over his little face . i - i just -- i 'd just be watching him blow out his candles , you know ? not visiting the cemetery . anna : oh . elizabeth : [ sighs ] i 'm sorry . anna : no , it 's okay . really , it 's all right . you know , you do n't want to hide from this -- this , um , this pain . this is what i 'm finding now , you know , not to go on about it . but [ sniffles ] that if you -- if you kind of go through the hurt , there 's -- there 's nice memories on the other side , right ? and -- and it gets easier . you said that . elizabeth : [ chuckles ] yeah . anna : and we 'd be just talking about it with someone who understands . [ sniffles ] you know , i 'm always here to talk about things , anything . elizabeth : and i am , too . thank you . anna : [ sniffles ] sure . i mean -- why do n't you go see that doctor , you know ? see how he 's doing . if he 's awake , i 'm sure he 'd love to see you . elizabeth : i 'll see you soon . anna : of course . elizabeth : okay . anna : [ sighs ] lulu : well , i 'm not the only one lucky to be here . ronnie also tried to kill dante , too . luke : he did ? dante : yeah , i was getting too close to the dancer attacks , and , uh , he told me he took the shot at me that night at the hospital benefit . luke : is that the hit corinthos took ? did you tell him ? lulu : he found out two seconds ago . luke : well , you better do it . it takes about two seconds to start a mob war . this information could avoid one . dante : looks like i 've been reinstated . lulu : the station ? dante : yeah . two cars have been dispatched to the haunted star responding to a hostage situation . one dead . lulu : sam ? dante : no . not sam . ronnie . mcbain : dimestico pointed the gun at her side and threatened to kill mrs. morgan and the baby . at that point , i took the shot . delores : anything to add ? jason : no . delores : the commissioner will want you to stop by the station , make a formal statement . but for now , excellent job , lieutenant . okay . we have a lot of paperwork to get to . mcbain : should n't you go be with your wife ? jason : not yet . way past time you and i got a few things straight . we asked the furlow family to bring in their favorite dvds michael : and i thought when we talked , it was actually real , that i understood what you were going through and you -- and you felt the same way . starr : i did feel that way , and i still do . michael : you should have just told me to shut up . be going on about all this loss and then h - h - how to deal with it , how to move on . starr : michael , those conversations meant a lot to me . michael : yeah , until you found out my father was innocent and -- and you tried to kill him yourself . starr : no , i have n't been able to sleep since i left your house . all i think about is cole and hope and how your dad took them away from me . michael : he did n't -- he did n't ! you 're not gon na believe that , though , are you ? starr : and you 're not going to believe that johnny is innocent ! we ca n't both be right , michael . michael : but we can both be wrong . w - what if somebody besides my -- my father or johnny caused that accident ? starr : okay . any idea who ? sonny : did you just say who i thought you said ? kate : this other -- this other person , sonny , she 's going around telling everyone her name is connie falconeri . sonny : that 's your real name . connie falconeri . kate howard is the one you made up . kate : changing my name , becoming kate howard , was a conscious choice . what -- what connie 's doing , what 's happening to me is out of my control . she 's a completely separate entity . and when she comes out , i go away . sonny : so , what are you saying ? this connie kind of runs wild and then she sleeps around with men and she assaults doctors ? kate : nothing that she does is random , sonny . she has an agenda . sonny : what is that ? kate : she wants us to be apart . sonny : oh , hell no . do n't drag me into this . kate : you are this , sonny . this -- you 're the reason that she manifested in the first place . sonny : so now it 's my fault ? ! kate : no , i 'm trying to explain to you . connie thinks that you 're dangerous , okay ? she wants you out of the way . and the only way to do that is for us to break up . so , that 's why she slept with johnny . [ voice breaking ] will you believe me , please ? because it was n't me in that bed . it was her . elizabeth : sam . are you okay ? did jason find you ? sam : yeah , i 'm -- i 'm fine . and yes , jason found me . elizabeth : w - what about ronnie ? sam : he 's dead . elizabeth : oh , my god . t - that must have been terrifying . i - i 'm glad you 're okay . sam : yes , it was terrifying . i 'm fine , and i just , i needed to come here to get my vitals checked . i need to make sure everything 's okay with the baby . i 'm sorry . there was another nurse in here . elizabeth : no , it 's okay . i 'll do it for you . so , what about ronnie ? i mean , was -- was it jason ? sam : no , it was n't jason . elizabeth : john mcbain ? dante said he left you with him . sam : yeah , john mcbain killed ronnie and saved my life . if it were n't for him , i probably would not be here right now . elizabeth : well , i 'm glad everything worked out . sam : and -- and another thing , just so you know , you do n't have to bother running to jason about this . he already knows . jason : i do n't like you . mcbain : that 's a shame . jason : i do n't like how you 've been hanging around sam . i do n't like that you know things about our personal life . mcbain : i only know what i 've been told . jason : oh , yeah ? without you , she could n't get the dna test , right ? mcbain : i was trying to do her a favor . jason : were you doing her a favor when you read the results with her ? mcbain : she was scared . understandably so . she asked me to stay . i stayed . jason : you took advantage of her . mcbain : no . jason : like i said , i 'm the way to get to sonny . sam 's a way to get to me . mcbain : you 're wrong . sam has nothing to do with my investigation . you were n't around , and i tried to pick up the slack . jason : y - you got a kid , right ? and a girlfriend ? mcbain : yeah , i do . jason : why do n't you go be there for them and stay away from my wife ? mcbain : i have every intention of going home to them -- when this is over , when i throw your boss in jail . and if you do n't stay out of it , you 're going right along with him . hey guys ! luke : you disappeared on me . anna : yeah . it was family . i was kind of claustrophobic in the cubicle . luke : kind of lonely out here in the waiting area . anna : well , with all this going on , no . it 's -- oddly entertaining . luke : you know you do n't have to hide your feelings from me , slim . delores : if you guys say `` sorry `` or `` thank you `` one more time -- lulu : well , how could i not ? a lot of this is my fault . delores : what ? it was your fault that ronnie turned out to be a dirt bag who liked to beat on women ? lulu : no , it 's my fault that eddie was a suspect , and i ca n't believe that i basically insinuated you were the one who deleted the photos . dante : the hindsight 's 20/20 , baby . delores : yeah , it does n't matter what you set in motion . you set it right . lulu : well , it would n't have mattered if you had n't let dante out . dante : yeah , apparently i can be , uh , pretty convincing . delores : actually , it had nothing to do with you . everything to do with lulu . lulu : what ? delores : well , dante said that you were , uh , the first one to suspect ronnie . lulu : oh . yeah . well , i do n't know . it was something that i saw between you and your husband . i do n't know . i just felt like he was n't guilty . delores : well , you took a very big chance going after dimestico , especially after the way that he framed eddie . i decided to take a chance , too . dante : as nice as this moment is that you two are having right now , i would still like to hear you say that you let me out of lockup because you know i would n't assault a woman ever . delores : hmm , i do n't know -- yeah . lulu : does this have to be all about you ? dante : yeah . did you just notice that ? [ both laugh ] dante : look , i know you said no more , but thank you again , really . delores : we 're even . dante : not even close . elizabeth : i did n't go running to jason about anything . he asked me a question , and i gave him an answer . sam : i know he told you what 's going on between us . elizabeth : and i ca n't imagine what that 's been like for you . i mean , it 's traumatic enough going through a rape , but finding out that franco is the baby 's father -- sam : see , this is exactly what i 'm talking about . my own mother does n't even know any of this stuff , and the fact that you do -- elizabeth : what am i supposed to say ? jason needed someone to talk to . he was upset . sam : exactly . he was upset because i supposedly confided in john mcbain . but somehow , he 's allowed to confide in you and that 's okay . elizabeth : we 're friends . sam : oh , right . friends . elizabeth : i do n't know what you 're accusing me of , but let me be perfectly clear . i have no intention of getting in between you and jason . if anything , i 've been on your side . sam : i do n't need you fighting my battles . elizabeth : no , what you need is to talk to your husband . sam : we 're gon na get through this . elizabeth : i know you will . by the way , you and your baby are perfectly fine . [ door opens ] jason : is that a threat ? because i can call my lawyer , and she can explain innocent until proven guilty . mcbain : equal protection under the law . i 'm aware of the concept . for all citizens , even ones paid to kill people . what is your job title , exactly ? jason : not a woman - beating cop . i guess i got that going for me . mcbain : hmm . dimestico was n't one of mine . jason : that 's right . because you do n't live here . you have no business here . mcbain : hey , i got a federal warrant that says otherwise . jason : investigating sonny 's a waste of time . mcbain : we 'll see , wo n't we ? sonny : i think i get it now . kate : [ sighs ] you do ? sonny : this is damage control . kate : what ? sonny : you screwed some other guy , right ? you feel bad about it , so now you got to make up some fairytale about , uh , you know , split personalities and -- kate : no . connie is real , sonny . she 's been trying to sleep with johnny for months . sonny : you mean she 's been sleeping with him for months . kate : no . that -- that 's -- that 's not true . sonny : how you keeping it straight ? kate : she -- she must have told you that to hurt you . sonny : yeah , yeah , yeah , yeah . kate : sonny , she wants you to cut me out of your life . i tried to stop her , but i was -- i was too weak or she was too strong . i do n't know .

[ sighs ] sonny : if this has been going on for months , why am i only hearing about it now after i walk in on you and johnny ? kate : you think this is easy for me ? you think it 's easy for me to admit i have a mental imbalance , sonny ?

chance : i was working undercover in a major operation . but i 'm here now , and i 'd like to tell you everything that i know . devon : that 'd be wonderful . we 're all ears . why do n't you start by explaining why you hired someone that looks like my dead wife to come and talk to me instead of doing it yourself . chance : because i never hired amanda sinclair , and i did n't knock out cane in vegas , although , i did punch him square in the jaw the moment i saw him here in genoa city . and i sure as hell did n't leave him those will pages . devon : so this is all a scam , is what you 're saying ?

victoria : i think i have a pretty good idea . nick 's decision to focus on his family is just a polite way of saying that chelsea has struck again . sharon : chelsea . victoria : you know , the minute she came back to town , i gave her the benefit of the doubt , but what happened at the grand phoenix was a big mistake , and so was her coming back . and now my brother is paying the price . chloe : i brought lattes with extra whipped cream . i figured it was too early for alcohol . chelsea : actually , i could use some of the hard stuff today . have you seen the news ?

adam : look , you did n't do anything wrong . you did absolutely nothing wrong . but that guy , he specializes in helping kids that have been through similar situations as you . so we just thought it might help . but if that is not the case , you do n't have to talk to him again . okay ? connor : okay . adam : [ sighs ] your mom and i , we just want you to feel better . so if there 's anything that we can do , just tell us . connor : i want you and mommy and me to be together . adam : [ sighs ] is skincriglycerides , billy : an opportunity came up somewhat out - of - the - blue , a decision had to be made , and i made it . kyle : yeah , with little to no due diligence . billy : kyle . i have been doing my due diligence for a lot longer than you , which means my instincts are a lot more finely honed than yours . and the problem that i have with you from yesterday , and jack , for that matter , is the fact that you have n't earned your spot at this table . kyle : you and i were made equal partners . billy : which means you do not micromanage me . kyle : and you do n't shut me out ! we 're supposed to work together , but all i see is you taking us on another ride on the billy express roller coaster . billy : i made a judgment call . kyle : that was not well - thought - out . this is reckless . billy : no , you 're overreacting . kyle : and you 're going way out of bounds to prove something . i do n't know what it is , but it 's not business . it 's about your ego . devon : i just -- i do n't really understand , chance , because one phone call , or even a text from you , could have stopped me from giving away all my money . chance : i 'm sorry . i could n't reach out . my assignment was too dangerous , and revealing my location would have risked other people 's lives . elena : okay , so , how did the will pages get into cane 's hands ? are you saying that he did this himself ? or was it amanda ? or are they working together ? chance : i do n't know who 's responsible . but the way the will pages got to genoa city certainly raises questions about both of them . devon : that 's something . i ca n't believe that i signed away everything , thinking i was honoring my grandma . elena : you were . you did what you thought was best under the circumstances . and we 're not even sure if this is all a lie yet . devon : what if it is a lie , though ? why would someone pretend to be this guy if it 's not a scam ? chance : i ca n't think of a single viable reason . devon : that 's -- cool . elena : okay , look , we will figure it out . i 'll take off work , and i 'll stay home with you -- devon : no , you 're not gon na take off anything , honey . you 've already done too much taking care of jett . elena : [ sighs ] are you sure ? devon : yes . i 'm sure . elena : i hate to leave you like this . promise me you will call me if you need me . devon : yes , i promise you . okay ? thank you . elena : [ sighs ] chance : look , i want to help you figure this out . devon : well , it 's a little too late for that , chance . i do n't really want your help . all right ? i 'm gon na handle this myself . chance : [ sighs ] adam : your mom loves you . and i love you , too , okay ? so much . you do know that , right ? connor : yeah . adam : and even though we 're not living together , we 're both here for you . we are here for you day or night , whenever you need us . connor : she 's not here now . adam : but , you know what , she 's on the other end of that phone . and we can call her anytime we want . and i am right here by your side . okay ? we 're a team . you and me , from here on out . connor : [ sighs ] adam : you know , we should go do something fun . connor : like what ? adam : like get a giant cookie and invite someone over ! huh ? connor : who , mom ? adam : no , not mom . but another friend of yours . hmm ? chloe : kevin feels terrible about putting your money into that bank that was seized by the feds . chelsea : i ca n't blame him . i knew it was a risk , and i did n't have to accept the money to begin with . i could have handed it over to the police when calvin 's lawyer showed up with it . chelsea : all that cash ? i would have done the same thing . chelsea : what does that say about us ? chloe : there 's a reason why we 're friends . chelsea : i mean ... are we bad people ? chloe : absolutely not . i mean , sometimes , we make ... questionable ... choices . but we also have a huge capacity for forgiveness . chelsea : mm , that is an overly generous way to put things , and i love you for it . chloe : [ chuckles ] i love you , too . chelsea : [ sighs ] chloe : tell me why you still think that simon is a threat . chelsea : even if that man is behind bars , he is smart and slippery , and he 's gon na want revenge . chloe : he is no match for us . especially when we have actual law enforcement on our side . chelsea : i was over - confident , chloe . i put my son in danger . i can never make that mistake again . chloe : hey . you are going to keep connor safe . i have no doubt about that . and kevin and i have your back . chelsea : i ca n't help but worry -- what if simon has dangerous friends on the outside ? the problem is , i do n't know who they are . so how do i defend us from an unknown threat ? me , connor , adam , even nick . we could all be targets . victoria : for the first time in a while , nick was just -- he was finally energized about something besides his family . billy : mm - hmm . victoria : [ sighs ] it 's just not fair that he had to drop out of the city council race . billy : yeah . right . victoria : billy , what 's going on ? you 're not listening to me . billy : [ sighs ] i 'm sorry . i had a rough morning , and it 's nagging at me . victoria : did you have another run - in with kyle ? billy : yeah . it 's not like i 'm even trying to get into it with him , it just kind of happens . victoria : nothing just happens . billy : i know , but , you know , he pushes my buttons , and ... i react . victoria : well , at least your feelings are less intense than the ones that you have for adam . billy : mm . adam : there she is ! hi . oh , big man ! sharon : hey , guys . adam : uh , we did n't mean to interrupt , but we were wondering if you could maybe use a little break . sharon : what did you have in mind ? adam : uh , we were thinking a little visit at our place . promise it 'll be a lot of fun . sharon : really ? adam : mm - hmm . sharon : sounds tempting . what do you think ? connor : okay . sharon : okay ! then let 's do it . chloe : the feds and the police will make sure that you and connor are both safe . and i would n't worry about adam . he -- he literally ca n't be killed . i know , i tried . too soon ? nick : hey , chloe . chloe : hi ! nick : hi . chelsea : hi . chloe : um ... okay , well , uh , i guess i should get to work , and i 'll see you there later . chelsea : okay . i 'll see you soon . chloe : bye . nick : bye . how 's connor holding up ? chelsea : he had a nightmare last night , but adam took him to a childhood trauma specialist this morning . nick : well , that 's good . maybe someone with the proper training can help him . chelsea : yeah . yeah , um , but he 's still really scared . nick : he 's not the only one . chelsea : i 'm sorry . i 'm so sorry for what i put you through . i just -- i did n't tell you what was going on because i was trying to protect you . nick : i 'm not talking about me . i 'm talking about you . i overheard you and chloe talking . chelsea : oh . um ... well , yeah , i mean , i 'm scared , too . nick : of simon ? chelsea : at the very least , he 's gon na try to make me look complicit in calvin 's money laundering , but what concerns me more is he could send people to come after me , or the people i love . nick : do n't be afraid , all right ? i 'll do whatever i can to keep you safe . i 'll hire more security . whatever it takes . chelsea : i hate dragging you into this mess . nick : you 're not dragging me into anything . chelsea : i forced you to drop out of your campaign . nick : you do n't always have to fight all your battles alone . chelsea : it 's a hard habit to break . [ sighs ] my mother taught me at a very young age -- ca n't count on anyone , including her . nick : i get it . which is why we need to make sure connor knows he can count on us , to surround him with love and support . chelsea : i agree . nick : good . i really think we should bring him home . sharon : i like that . what do you think of mine ? mm , not so much . okay . no , that 's all right . i 'm -- i 'm working on it . i 'm still working on it . adam : here you go . connor : thanks , dad . sharon : so , what 's that in front of your building ? connor : a wall . sharon : a wall ? connor : to protect us . me and mom and dad are on this side , and the bad guys are on this side . sharon : so your parents protected you the other day , huh ? adam : and you were so brave . and we 're all safe . everything 's okay . and it 's going to stay that way . hmm ? connor : can i go play in my room ? adam : sure . yeah . if that 's what you want to do . [ sighs ] it is really hard for me to figure out what he 's feeling . sharon : i would just keep reaching out to him , reassuring him . adam : thanks for coming . i appreciate it . sharon : it 's no problem . is it okay that i ask where is chelsea ? adam : uh , i think she is giving us some space because she feels guilty about putting connor 's life in danger . sharon : yeah , i 'm sure she feels really bad about that , um , but i 'm not that staying away is the best thing for connor . he needs a lot of support right now , and one of those main pillars of support should be his mom . chelsea : i would love nothing more than to bring connor home . i just want to wrap my arms around him and never let go . nick : then let 's go get him . chelsea : i do n't think we should . & nick : why not ? chelsea : well , first of all , i do n't think he 'd want to come . adam is like a hero to him right now . you should have seen the way he was clinging to him yesterday . i 'm not gon na rip him away from his father . not to mention , adam would fight us on it , and , nick , the last thing we need right now is another custody battle . nick : okay . i trust you to do what you think is best for your son . chelsea : thank you for understanding . [ sighs ] now i should get to work . i have to do some damage control . nick : you hang in there . we 'll talk later . chelsea : okay . nick : you know , chelsea , i got to say this ... i know you think connor needs adam right now , but i 'm concerned with how much time he 's spending with him alone . adam is doing and saying all the right things right now , but how long do you think that 's gon na last before he does something that hurts connor , or you ? adam will always be adam . chelsea : adam will always be connor 's father . billy : thank you . victoria : good job keeping your cool with adam . billy : mm . yeah , no , uh , i 've even surprised myself a little bit . maybe i 'm turning the corner on him . although , i do think that i 'm transferring my anger onto my unqualified co - c.e.o . victoria : it 's apples and oranges compared to adam . at least this level of anger is a little more manageable . billy : i do n't want to be angry . to anyone . i don't . i do n't want to have these knee - jerk reactions to kyle . victoria : maybe you went back to work too soon after your , hmm , episode . billy : i do n't think that 's what it is . i do n't , but i do need to figure out what the root cause is , and i booked an appointment with dr . clay this afternoon . victoria : oh , you did ? billy : mm - hmm . victoria : well , i am so happy to hear that . you do realize how healthy and well - adjusted that is , right ? billy : maybe there 's hope for me yet , huh ? victoria : i 've been saying that the whole time . billy : yeah , well , you are the reason i got this far , so ... i got to make sure i control my emotions so i do n't lose control again . victoria : i agree . billy : the last thing i want is to end up in a war with kyle . it 'll divide the family straight down the middle . chance : i hope you know what you just set into motion . devon : we 'll find out soon enough , wo n't we ? chance : look , if you wo n't accept my apology , at least allow me to stay . i am on your side here . devon : chance , you can do whatever the hell you want to do , all right ? just let me take the lead on this . chance : yes , sir . [ doorbell rings ] cane : hey . devon : come in . cane : thanks . [ laughs ] all right , well , i can , uh -- i can guess what all this is about . devon : well , the difference between me and this guy is i 'm gon na give you a chance to come clean before i hit you . we call it the mother standard of care . `` the young and the restless `` will continue . sharon : chelsea may have brought the situation with simon black on herself , but , you know , obviously she did n't mean to . she would never do anything to jeopardize her son 's safety . adam : yeah . i know that . i just thought i would let her deal with it in her own way . sharon : connor needs her as much as he needs you . adam : mm - hmm . i do not disagree with that . there 's just another ... monkey wrench that , uh , is making things a bit awkward . sharon : and what 's that ? adam : connor wants his parents to get back together . sharon : oh ! right . adam : mm - hmm . sharon : it 's a difficult line to walk . i have had to navigate that myself , but , you know , i mean , it 's normal for kids his age , and , plus , all the trauma connor 's been through ... adam : well , the hostage situation was just the latest in a long list . i mean , calvin dying , then being led to believe that victor was dead ... then me abandoning him ... it 's just been one thing after another . the rug is , like , pulled out from under him . sharon : yeah , so of course the thought of his parents getting back together would give him a sense of security . you know , it 's -- listen , i do n't think that you should lie to him or let him that you two are going to reconcile , but i do think you two should get him through this together . it 's a developmentally important time in his life , so , you know , no matter what 's going on between you and chelsea , you need to give your son the stability that he craves . connor : i have this left over from halloween . i promised to give it to mom . when can we see her ? adam : you know what , why do n't we call her right now ? hmm ? victoria : so , i guess i 'm never gon na get to wear my `` pick nick `` campaign button . nick : you know , it was n't the right time to dip my toe into politics . victoria : i 'm so sorry that you had to drop out of the race . nick : it was the right move to make . victoria : but it seems like the city council was such a natural fit . i just wish there was some other way for you to deal with this besides quitting . nick : such as ? victoria : hire a pr team . create a little distance between you and the ... the drama . nick : vick , come on . victoria : i 'm just saying that maybe putting a little space between you and chelsea would be a good thing . nate : you needed coffee as badly as i do today , huh ? elena : i wish i could inject it into my veins like a blood transfusion . nate : yeah , i do n't know why the hospital was so crazy this morning . elena : i guess it 's just one of those days . i have n't even had time to think . nate : something on your mind ? elena : [ sighs ] well , devon and i had a pretty eventful morning , too , when chance showed up at our house . nate : why ? elena : he came to tell us that he did n't know anything about katherine 's will , and he did n't find the original will pages , and he did n't hire amanda sinclair . nate : you ca n't be serious . elena : yeah . and now devon 's given up his entire inheritance , and he 's a wreck . [ scoffs ] nate : you know , that 's a lot to handle , but devon 's tough . i 'm sure he 'll be okay . elena : yeah , i do n't know . and , honestly , i do n't know how to help him . nate : you 've helped him every moment since you two got together . and , by the way , we still do n't know all the facts about the will , so ... it could still all work out . elena : what ? how could you possibly say that after he 's given away all of his money on the word of your attorney ? nate : we do n't know amanda is to blame . elena : i 've got a pretty strong suspicion . and if i were you , i would fire her before she ruins your life , too . cane : of course i assumed it was chance who knocked me unconscious in vegas . so , if it was n't him , then who did it ? devon : i do n't believe you . cane : okay . listen . i have the same questions as you , all right ? devon : mm . cane : but it does n't change the fact that the pages are genuine . devon : of course it does ! it brings everything into question ! and since you 're the main beneficiary to it all , the signs point to you as the guilty party ! cane : just slow it down for a second . just a second , all right ? hy would i make up such a crazy story as being knocked unconscious ? devon : oh , i do n't know , but i got 2 billion reasons why . cane : okay . chance : hey , guys , let 's not jump to conclusion . let 's gather all the facts and figure out exactly what happened . cane : thank you , because i want to find out the truth just like you do . devon : everybody keeps saying that , yet , i 'm the only one that keeps getting screwed . cane : all right . well , let me help you get to the bottom of this , all right ? i will go and hire the best private investigators i can find -- devon : you 're gon na do that ? you 're gon na hire your private investigators . that 's great . cane : all right . i know you do n't trust me . all right ? but i loved katherine just like you did . devon : well , you forget that i know how good of a liar you can be . cane : i am not lying , and i resent the implication , okay ? [ cellphone chimes ] okay . it is jill . all right ? maybe she has the answers that we 're looking for . excuse me . hey . mm - hmm . ( dad ) aaaah ! nick : you know , i appreciate your encouragement , as always , but i 'm sticking to my decision . victoria : okay . i respect that . but i still have to ask if you think that it 's worth it . nick : i know you 're not a fan of chelsea 's right now , but she needs me , vick . so does connor . victoria : i know . i really feel for that little boy . i know neither of you wanted to see him get hurt . nick : kind of like you did n't want your kids hurt by some of the stuff billy 's pulled . victoria : okay . [ scoffs ] ouch . uh , i 'll admit , i know what it 's like to help someone battle their demons . nick : i did n't mean -- how are you two doing ? victoria : oh ! we are doing fine . he is putting a lot of effort into staying healthy . in fact , he 's at a therapy appointment right now . nick : good . i 'm glad he 's , uh , trying to figure it out . victoria : yeah . listen , nick , i was n't trying to judge your relationship . i just -- i want you to know that i 'm always in your corner . nick : i know . thanks . victoria : and , who knows , maybe one day you 'll run for office again . nick : maybe . victoria : i think i 'm gon na keep my `` pick nick `` button just in case . nick : [ chuckles ] billy : i did see adam earlier , and my blood pressure did n't go up . so there 's that . but , um ... i 'm wondering if -- and i 'm not sure what the right terminology is -- but i 'm wondering if i 'm projecting my residual anger onto my nephew kyle at work . dr. clay : hmm . that 's an interesting self - diagnosis . billy : [ chuckles ] yeah , well , i 'm not armchair shrink , but , um ... i 'm just trying to figure out why i 'm feeling the way i am . i do think that it would still be about -- about delia . dr. clay : do you ? billy : i do n't know , uh ... i mean , i do n't know what else i have to be angry about . dr. clay : maybe we should talk about that . billy : about what ? dr. clay : the bigger picture . i remember you talking about other times in your past when you felt like you let your family down , or screwed up in different ways . billy : you 're calling me a screw - up now ? dr. clay : [ chuckles ] those were your words , not mine . billy : right . no , that does sound like me . dr. clay : you went through periods when you were gambling , had affairs ... billy : yeah . dr. clay : slept with your girlfriend 's daughter . billy : okay . is this actually constructive ? dr. clay : it is . if you want to put things in context . a lot of those incidents happened before you lost delia , correct ? billy : yeah . i guess . [ sighs ] yeah . so , what are you saying ? uh , you 're saying i ca n't blame everything on my grief ? what , you -- do you think i 'm sabotaging myself ? nate : i 'm going before the medical board tomorrow . amanda may be my best hope in keeping my license . elena : any lawyer would be better than that barracuda who helped rip off devon . nate : we do n't know she 's a part of the con job . elena : chance made it very clear that he did not hire her . come on , nate , do the math . nate : amanda said the client was just a voice over the phone . elena : [ scoffs ] and i do n't believe that for a second , and , quite frankly , i 'm surprised you do . nate : i guess we 'll have to agree to disagree n this . even if i wanted to hire someone else to represent me , it 's too late . elena : [ scoffs ] well . okay . wish you luck . cane : all right , you know exactly how to handle my old man , okay ? you do n't let him get away with anything . okay . [ sighs ] devon : so , what did jill say ? cane : she said that she 's tracked him down in the maldives , and she 's waiting to catch a puddle - jumper to this secluded island where he is hiding out . devon : and she has n't spoken to colin yet ? cane : no , not yet . but if anyone can get the truth out of my old man , it 's jill . chance : what island is he on ? cane : kuredu . what are you doing ? chance : booking the next flight out . discomfort back there ? billy : hey . kyle : hey . so , i made some decisions while you were gone . i 'll run them by you before implementing them . i 'm gon na order pizza . that okay ? billy : i 'd go with the chicken parm . look ... i owe you an apology . i 've been , uh , riding you a little too hard here , and , uh , i just want to tell you that i 'm gon na listen , and i 'm gon na give all your ideas full consideration . kyle : whoa . okay . billy : no , i 'm serious . and i 've thought a lot about the shapewear , and , you know , you 're right . you did your research , and , uh , i think that it 's a risk worth taking . kyle : really ? billy : yes , really . kyle : why do i feel like i 'm almost to the top of the billy express , and i 'm gon na lose my lunch on the way down ? billy : i do n't know . but you 're not . the train is pulling into the station . kyle : i 'll be honest with you , i do n't know what to think . i do n't know where you were coming from before , and i do n't know where you 're coming from now . billy : yeah . all i can tell you is that it 's not coming from a place of grief or anger or insecurity or ego . look ... this family company , the family legacy , it can be a lot , and it can really do your head in . and , to be honest , i have n't always dealt with it very well , and , apparently , i 'm not dealing with it very well now , either , but ... [ sighs ] i 'm gon na be better , okay ? i 'm gon na try and be better . kyle : okay . billy : okay . kyle : can i ask you a question ? billy : just do n't ask me about this epiphany , okay ? just , uh ... roll with it . kyle : all right . billy : okay . kyle : you like pepperoni on your pizza ? billy : no . cane : going to the maldives is a mistake . jill has n't asked for your help , and she does n't need it . devon : well , he 's going . cane : come on , devon . come on . chance : i 'm sorry , what was that ? devon : cane , i do n't care what you or jill want , i really do n't , because if colin has done what we think he 's done , then i want someone with the authority to bring him back to the u.s. and lock him the hell up . cane : we do n't know what he 's done . devon : cane ! cane ! i 'm tired of listening to you try and stall and justify and explain all this away . this is what 's happening . chance : okay , thank you . my flight leaves tomorrow afternoon . cane : you do n't have to do this . chance : it 's done . chelsea : let 's keep the room discounts on the website going till the end of the month . chloe : okay , that 's a good idea . chelsea : yeah . if we can keep this hotel at least half - capacity over the next few weeks , i 'll consider that a win . chloe : okay . you know , i -- i 'm happy to continue to talk about work stuff , if that 's what you want , but ... if you want to talk about more important stuff , too ... chelsea : you saw how things were with nick . i mean , i 'm really worried about him , me , but my main focus is connor . chloe : of course . if there 's anything that i can do to help , you let me know . chelsea : thank you . he 's really just clinging to adam , who , i have to say , has been really , really great . [ cellphone rings ] oh . speaking of ... excuse me . chloe : yeah . chelsea : hey . is everything okay ? adam : yeah , connor 's fine . it 's not an emergency . but , uh , he 's been asking about you . and i thought it would be a good idea for the three of us to spend some together . chelsea : oh , i -- i do n't know if that 's the best idea . adam : chelsea . he needs both of us . and i know that he has been fixated on us getting back together , and we can deflect all of that . i just want to do what 's best for him now . chelsea : of course . me , too . um ... yeah , you 're right . adam : great . well , we 're just hanging out if you want to come over for a little while . chelsea : sure . i 'll be by in a bit . adam : thank you . nick : michael ? it 's nick . i need to see simon black as soon as possible . next week on `` the young and the restless `` ... phyllis : we could do whatever we want . and we 're two consenting adults . i mean , that leaves it open . abby : what did you want to talk to me about ? chance : i want to make you an offer . jill : come out , come out , wherever you are . colin : a - ha ! my fetching , fiery mate ! what took you so long ? | billy arranged to open another jabotique without kyle 's input , which angered kyle because billy had recently railed at him for making a unilateral decision at work . billy felt that kyle had n't earned his job , and kyle accused billy of being on an ego trip . chance told devon and elena that he had nothing to do with hiring amanda or contesting katherine 's will . devon confronted cane and accused him of conning him out of his inheritance , but cane maintained his innocence . jill called cane to report she 'd tracked colin to the maldives . chance booked a flight to the maldives , and cane tried to convince chance not to go , which made devon more suspicious . elena tried to convince nate that amanda was a scammer , but he did n't believe it . after connor did n't connect with his new therapist , adam had sharon come talk to him . sharon felt connor needed more time with both parents . | <s>[INST] [ previously_on ] devon : when it comes to the bulk of what katherine left me , i 'm gon na give it to cane because that was katherine 's wish , and i want to honor it . cane : devon now accepts this to be the truth . chance : well , maybe he 'll rethink that when he finds out i had nothing to do with challenging katherine 's will . cane : jill thinks that she might know who did , and now she 's gone off to see if her hunch is right . she thinks it might be colin . chance : your dad . simon : you and those legit agents out there have given me no choice . phyllis : now , chance ! abby : do n't do this , please ! run ! run ! run ! [ grunting ] adam : and it was all about dirty money from calvin . and who suffered for that ? our son . chelsea : you just wanted to help people . that 's the whole reason you were running for city council . you 're thinking about dropping out , are n't you ? jack : guys , i left you in charge because i trust you ! you two are gon na have to figure this out ! together ! kyle : [ sighs ] billy : yes . no , absolutely . okay , grazi . grazi , ciao . ciao . mm ! kyle : you and victoria planning a trip to italy ? love it . take as much time as you want . i can handle things here . billy : actually , no . i just closed on the new jaboutique in milan . kyle : what ? you 're joking , right ? billy : i would not joke about that . kyle : you just made a huge unilateral decision without telling me or anybody else . yesterday , you railed at me for the same exact thing . billy : no , kyle , this is different . kyle : this is different because you 're not stepping on my toes this time . europe is ashley 's territory , and she wo n't appreciate you encroaching on it . billy : i 'll talk to ashley . she wants what 's best for the company , just as much as i do . kyle : we all want what 's best for the company , billy ! but , honestly ... what is going on ? this is n't about me or even some competition between us . you 're on a -- across - the - board great , big power trip . where 's it coming from ? devon : well , this is sure a surprise . chance : i was n't sure you 'd see if i called ahead . devon : i probably wouldn't . elena : hi , i 'm elena . chance : nice to meet you . chance . elena : yeah , i know who you are . you 're all over the news . devon : which is a real interesting way to find out that you 're back in town . chance : look , i am sorry about the way this all played out . it 's complicated . devon : it 's complicated . it 's been too complicated to return any of my urgent calls or texts over the last few months ? chance : i was working undercover in a major operation . but i 'm here now , and i 'd like to tell you everything that i know . devon : that 'd be wonderful . we 're all ears . why do n't you start by explaining why you hired someone that looks like my dead wife to come and talk to me instead of doing it yourself . chance : because i never hired amanda sinclair , and i did n't knock out cane in vegas , although , i did punch him square in the jaw the moment i saw him here in genoa city . and i sure as hell did n't leave him those will pages . devon : so this is all a scam , is what you 're saying ? i 've made a life - altering decision that i ca n't take back now based on a lie ? victoria : have you seen this ? sharon : mm , that 's a shame . i think nick would have made an amazing politician . any idea why he changed his mind ? victoria : i think i have a pretty good idea . nick 's decision to focus on his family is just a polite way of saying that chelsea has struck again . sharon : chelsea . victoria : you know , the minute she came back to town , i gave her the benefit of the doubt , but what happened at the grand phoenix was a big mistake , and so was her coming back . and now my brother is paying the price . chloe : i brought lattes with extra whipped cream . i figured it was too early for alcohol . chelsea : actually , i could use some of the hard stuff today . have you seen the news ? chloe : yeah . but ... maybe it wo n't be that bad . i mean , politics these days , who wants to dive into that pool of crazy ? chelsea : nick did . he really thought he could help the people of genoa city . chloe : i 'm sure he still can . do good . chelsea : maybe . but this is all my fault . nick had to drop out of the race because of me . i basically just stomped on his dream . chloe : no , but that was not your intention . chelsea : it does n't matter . i mean , he finally found the perfect career , and then my ugly past had to rear its ugly head . chloe : you did n't steal that money . it kind of just fell in your lap . chelsea : yeah , but i chose to launder it . chloe : and nick decided to drop out of the race . it was his choice . he chose you . chelsea : yeah , and it cost him . but my bigger concern right now is , even though the hostage situation is over ... connor and i could still be in danger . adam : so , you did n't like that guy ? connor : i do n't know . adam : you want to tell me why you did n't feel comfortable talking to him ? connor : why do i have to talk to a stranger ? adam : you know what , you do n't have to talk to anybody , if you do n't want to . connor : what did i do wrong ? adam : look , you did n't do anything wrong . you did absolutely nothing wrong . but that guy , he specializes in helping kids that have been through similar situations as you . so we just thought it might help . but if that is not the case , you do n't have to talk to him again . okay ? connor : okay . adam : [ sighs ] your mom and i , we just want you to feel better . so if there 's anything that we can do , just tell us . connor : i want you and mommy and me to be together . adam : [ sighs ] is skincriglycerides , billy : an opportunity came up somewhat out - of - the - blue , a decision had to be made , and i made it . kyle : yeah , with little to no due diligence . billy : kyle . i have been doing my due diligence for a lot longer than you , which means my instincts are a lot more finely honed than yours . and the problem that i have with you from yesterday , and jack , for that matter , is the fact that you have n't earned your spot at this table . kyle : you and i were made equal partners . billy : which means you do not micromanage me . kyle : and you do n't shut me out ! we 're supposed to work together , but all i see is you taking us on another ride on the billy express roller coaster . billy : i made a judgment call . kyle : that was not well - thought - out . this is reckless . billy : no , you 're overreacting . kyle : and you 're going way out of bounds to prove something . i do n't know what it is , but it 's not business . it 's about your ego . devon : i just -- i do n't really understand , chance , because one phone call , or even a text from you , could have stopped me from giving away all my money . chance : i 'm sorry . i could n't reach out . my assignment was too dangerous , and revealing my location would have risked other people 's lives . elena : okay , so , how did the will pages get into cane 's hands ? are you saying that he did this himself ? or was it amanda ? or are they working together ? chance : i do n't know who 's responsible . but the way the will pages got to genoa city certainly raises questions about both of them . devon : that 's something . i ca n't believe that i signed away everything , thinking i was honoring my grandma . elena : you were . you did what you thought was best under the circumstances . and we 're not even sure if this is all a lie yet . devon : what if it is a lie , though ? why would someone pretend to be this guy if it 's not a scam ? chance : i ca n't think of a single viable reason . devon : that 's -- cool . elena : okay , look , we will figure it out . i 'll take off work , and i 'll stay home with you -- devon : no , you 're not gon na take off anything , honey . you 've already done too much taking care of jett . elena : [ sighs ] are you sure ? devon : yes . i 'm sure . elena : i hate to leave you like this . promise me you will call me if you need me . devon : yes , i promise you . okay ? thank you . elena : [ sighs ] chance : look , i want to help you figure this out . devon : well , it 's a little too late for that , chance . i do n't really want your help . all right ? i 'm gon na handle this myself . chance : [ sighs ] adam : your mom loves you . and i love you , too , okay ? so much . you do know that , right ? connor : yeah . adam : and even though we 're not living together , we 're both here for you . we are here for you day or night , whenever you need us . connor : she 's not here now . adam : but , you know what , she 's on the other end of that phone . and we can call her anytime we want . and i am right here by your side . okay ? we 're a team . you and me , from here on out . connor : [ sighs ] adam : you know , we should go do something fun . connor : like what ? adam : like get a giant cookie and invite someone over ! huh ? connor : who , mom ? adam : no , not mom . but another friend of yours . hmm ? chloe : kevin feels terrible about putting your money into that bank that was seized by the feds . chelsea : i ca n't blame him . i knew it was a risk , and i did n't have to accept the money to begin with . i could have handed it over to the police when calvin 's lawyer showed up with it . chelsea : all that cash ? i would have done the same thing . chelsea : what does that say about us ? chloe : there 's a reason why we 're friends . chelsea : i mean ... are we bad people ? chloe : absolutely not . i mean , sometimes , we make ... questionable ... choices . but we also have a huge capacity for forgiveness . chelsea : mm , that is an overly generous way to put things , and i love you for it . chloe : [ chuckles ] i love you , too . chelsea : [ sighs ] chloe : tell me why you still think that simon is a threat . chelsea : even if that man is behind bars , he is smart and slippery , and he 's gon na want revenge . chloe : he is no match for us . especially when we have actual law enforcement on our side . chelsea : i was over - confident , chloe . i put my son in danger . i can never make that mistake again . chloe : hey . you are going to keep connor safe . i have no doubt about that . and kevin and i have your back . chelsea : i ca n't help but worry -- what if simon has dangerous friends on the outside ? the problem is , i do n't know who they are . so how do i defend us from an unknown threat ? me , connor , adam , even nick . we could all be targets . victoria : for the first time in a while , nick was just -- he was finally energized about something besides his family . billy : mm - hmm . victoria : [ sighs ] it 's just not fair that he had to drop out of the city council race . billy : yeah . right . victoria : billy , what 's going on ? you 're not listening to me . billy : [ sighs ] i 'm sorry . i had a rough morning , and it 's nagging at me . victoria : did you have another run - in with kyle ? billy : yeah . it 's not like i 'm even trying to get into it with him , it just kind of happens . victoria : nothing just happens . billy : i know , but , you know , he pushes my buttons , and ... i react . victoria : well , at least your feelings are less intense than the ones that you have for adam . billy : mm . adam : there she is ! hi . oh , big man ! sharon : hey , guys . adam : uh , we did n't mean to interrupt , but we were wondering if you could maybe use a little break . sharon : what did you have in mind ? adam : uh , we were thinking a little visit at our place . promise it 'll be a lot of fun . sharon : really ? adam : mm - hmm . sharon : sounds tempting . what do you think ? connor : okay . sharon : okay ! then let 's do it . chloe : the feds and the police will make sure that you and connor are both safe . and i would n't worry about adam . he -- he literally ca n't be killed . i know , i tried . too soon ? nick : hey , chloe . chloe : hi ! nick : hi . chelsea : hi . chloe : um ... okay , well , uh , i guess i should get to work , and i 'll see you there later . chelsea : okay . i 'll see you soon . chloe : bye . nick : bye . how 's connor holding up ? chelsea : he had a nightmare last night , but adam took him to a childhood trauma specialist this morning . nick : well , that 's good . maybe someone with the proper training can help him . chelsea : yeah . yeah , um , but he 's still really scared . nick : he 's not the only one . chelsea : i 'm sorry . i 'm so sorry for what i put you through . i just -- i did n't tell you what was going on because i was trying to protect you . nick : i 'm not talking about me . i 'm talking about you . i overheard you and chloe talking . chelsea : oh . um ... well , yeah , i mean , i 'm scared , too . nick : of simon ? chelsea : at the very least , he 's gon na try to make me look complicit in calvin 's money laundering , but what concerns me more is he could send people to come after me , or the people i love . nick : do n't be afraid , all right ? i 'll do whatever i can to keep you safe . i 'll hire more security . whatever it takes . chelsea : i hate dragging you into this mess . nick : you 're not dragging me into anything . chelsea : i forced you to drop out of your campaign . nick : you do n't always have to fight all your battles alone . chelsea : it 's a hard habit to break . [ sighs ] my mother taught me at a very young age -- ca n't count on anyone , including her . nick : i get it . which is why we need to make sure connor knows he can count on us , to surround him with love and support . chelsea : i agree . nick : good . i really think we should bring him home . sharon : i like that . what do you think of mine ? mm , not so much . okay . no , that 's all right . i 'm -- i 'm working on it . i 'm still working on it . adam : here you go . connor : thanks , dad . sharon : so , what 's that in front of your building ? connor : a wall . sharon : a wall ? connor : to protect us . me and mom and dad are on this side , and the bad guys are on this side . sharon : so your parents protected you the other day , huh ? adam : and you were so brave . and we 're all safe . everything 's okay . and it 's going to stay that way . hmm ? connor : can i go play in my room ? adam : sure . yeah . if that 's what you want to do . [ sighs ] it is really hard for me to figure out what he 's feeling . sharon : i would just keep reaching out to him , reassuring him . adam : thanks for coming . i appreciate it . sharon : it 's no problem . is it okay that i ask where is chelsea ? adam : uh , i think she is giving us some space because she feels guilty about putting connor 's life in danger . sharon : yeah , i 'm sure she feels really bad about that , um , but i 'm not that staying away is the best thing for connor . he needs a lot of support right now , and one of those main pillars of support should be his mom . chelsea : i would love nothing more than to bring connor home . i just want to wrap my arms around him and never let go . nick : then let 's go get him . chelsea : i do n't think we should . & nick : why not ? chelsea : well , first of all , i do n't think he 'd want to come . adam is like a hero to him right now . you should have seen the way he was clinging to him yesterday . i 'm not gon na rip him away from his father . not to mention , adam would fight us on it , and , nick , the last thing we need right now is another custody battle . nick : okay . i trust you to do what you think is best for your son . chelsea : thank you for understanding . [ sighs ] now i should get to work . i have to do some damage control . nick : you hang in there . we 'll talk later . chelsea : okay . nick : you know , chelsea , i got to say this ... i know you think connor needs adam right now , but i 'm concerned with how much time he 's spending with him alone . adam is doing and saying all the right things right now , but how long do you think that 's gon na last before he does something that hurts connor , or you ? adam will always be adam . chelsea : adam will always be connor 's father . billy : thank you . victoria : good job keeping your cool with adam . billy : mm . yeah , no , uh , i 've even surprised myself a little bit . maybe i 'm turning the corner on him . although , i do think that i 'm transferring my anger onto my unqualified co - c.e.o . victoria : it 's apples and oranges compared to adam . at least this level of anger is a little more manageable . billy : i do n't want to be angry . to anyone . i don't . i do n't want to have these knee - jerk reactions to kyle . victoria : maybe you went back to work too soon after your , hmm , episode . billy : i do n't think that 's what it is . i do n't , but i do need to figure out what the root cause is , and i booked an appointment with dr . clay this afternoon . victoria : oh , you did ? billy : mm - hmm . victoria : well , i am so happy to hear that . you do realize how healthy and well - adjusted that is , right ? billy : maybe there 's hope for me yet , huh ? victoria : i 've been saying that the whole time . billy : yeah , well , you are the reason i got this far , so ... i got to make sure i control my emotions so i do n't lose control again . victoria : i agree . billy : the last thing i want is to end up in a war with kyle . it 'll divide the family straight down the middle . chance : i hope you know what you just set into motion . devon : we 'll find out soon enough , wo n't we ? chance : look , if you wo n't accept my apology , at least allow me to stay . i am on your side here . devon : chance , you can do whatever the hell you want to do , all right ? just let me take the lead on this . chance : yes , sir . [ doorbell rings ] cane : hey . devon : come in . cane : thanks . [ laughs ] all right , well , i can , uh -- i can guess what all this is about . devon : well , the difference between me and this guy is i 'm gon na give you a chance to come clean before i hit you . we call it the mother standard of care . `` the young and the restless `` will continue . sharon : chelsea may have brought the situation with simon black on herself , but , you know , obviously she did n't mean to . she would never do anything to jeopardize her son 's safety . adam : yeah . i know that . i just thought i would let her deal with it in her own way . sharon : connor needs her as much as he needs you . adam : mm - hmm . i do not disagree with that . there 's just another ... monkey wrench that , uh , is making things a bit awkward . sharon : and what 's that ? adam : connor wants his parents to get back together . sharon : oh ! right . adam : mm - hmm . sharon : it 's a difficult line to walk . i have had to navigate that myself , but , you know , i mean , it 's normal for kids his age , and , plus , all the trauma connor 's been through ... adam : well , the hostage situation was just the latest in a long list . i mean , calvin dying , then being led to believe that victor was dead ... then me abandoning him ... it 's just been one thing after another . the rug is , like , pulled out from under him . sharon : yeah , so of course the thought of his parents getting back together would give him a sense of security . you know , it 's -- listen , i do n't think that you should lie to him or let him that you two are going to reconcile , but i do think you two should get him through this together . it 's a developmentally important time in his life , so , you know , no matter what 's going on between you and chelsea , you need to give your son the stability that he craves . connor : i have this left over from halloween . i promised to give it to mom . when can we see her ? adam : you know what , why do n't we call her right now ? hmm ? victoria : so , i guess i 'm never gon na get to wear my `` pick nick `` campaign button . nick : you know , it was n't the right time to dip my toe into politics . victoria : i 'm so sorry that you had to drop out of the race . nick : it was the right move to make . victoria : but it seems like the city council was such a natural fit . i just wish there was some other way for you to deal with this besides quitting . nick : such as ? victoria : hire a pr team . create a little distance between you and the ... the drama . nick : vick , come on . victoria : i 'm just saying that maybe putting a little space between you and chelsea would be a good thing . nate : you needed coffee as badly as i do today , huh ? elena : i wish i could inject it into my veins like a blood transfusion . nate : yeah , i do n't know why the hospital was so crazy this morning . elena : i guess it 's just one of those days . i have n't even had time to think . nate : something on your mind ? elena : [ sighs ] well , devon and i had a pretty eventful morning , too , when chance showed up at our house . nate : why ? elena : he came to tell us that he did n't know anything about katherine 's will , and he did n't find the original will pages , and he did n't hire amanda sinclair . nate : you ca n't be serious . elena : yeah . and now devon 's given up his entire inheritance , and he 's a wreck . [ scoffs ] nate : you know , that 's a lot to handle , but devon 's tough . i 'm sure he 'll be okay . elena : yeah , i do n't know . and , honestly , i do n't know how to help him . nate : you 've helped him every moment since you two got together . and , by the way , we still do n't know all the facts about the will , so ... it could still all work out . elena : what ? how could you possibly say that after he 's given away all of his money on the word of your attorney ? nate : we do n't know amanda is to blame . elena : i 've got a pretty strong suspicion . and if i were you , i would fire her before she ruins your life , too . cane : of course i assumed it was chance who knocked me unconscious in vegas . so , if it was n't him , then who did it ? devon : i do n't believe you . cane : okay . listen . i have the same questions as you , all right ? devon : mm . cane : but it does n't change the fact that the pages are genuine . devon : of course it does ! it brings everything into question ! and since you 're the main beneficiary to it all , the signs point to you as the guilty party ! cane : just slow it down for a second . just a second , all right ? hy would i make up such a crazy story as being knocked unconscious ? devon : oh , i do n't know , but i got 2 billion reasons why . cane : okay . chance : hey , guys , let 's not jump to conclusion . let 's gather all the facts and figure out exactly what happened . cane : thank you , because i want to find out the truth just like you do . devon : everybody keeps saying that , yet , i 'm the only one that keeps getting screwed . cane : all right . well , let me help you get to the bottom of this , all right ? i will go and hire the best private investigators i can find -- devon : you 're gon na do that ? you 're gon na hire your private investigators . that 's great . cane : all right . i know you do n't trust me . all right ? but i loved katherine just like you did . devon : well , you forget that i know how good of a liar you can be . cane : i am not lying , and i resent the implication , okay ? [ cellphone chimes ] okay . it is jill . all right ? maybe she has the answers that we 're looking for . excuse me . hey . mm - hmm . ( dad ) aaaah ! nick : you know , i appreciate your encouragement , as always , but i 'm sticking to my decision . victoria : okay . i respect that . but i still have to ask if you think that it 's worth it . nick : i know you 're not a fan of chelsea 's right now , but she needs me , vick . so does connor . victoria : i know . i really feel for that little boy . i know neither of you wanted to see him get hurt . nick : kind of like you did n't want your kids hurt by some of the stuff billy 's pulled . victoria : okay . [ scoffs ] ouch . uh , i 'll admit , i know what it 's like to help someone battle their demons . nick : i did n't mean -- how are you two doing ? victoria : oh ! we are doing fine . he is putting a lot of effort into staying healthy . in fact , he 's at a therapy appointment right now . nick : good . i 'm glad he 's , uh , trying to figure it out . victoria : yeah . listen , nick , i was n't trying to judge your relationship . i just -- i want you to know that i 'm always in your corner . nick : i know . thanks . victoria : and , who knows , maybe one day you 'll run for office again . nick : maybe . victoria : i think i 'm gon na keep my `` pick nick `` button just in case . nick : [ chuckles ] billy : i did see adam earlier , and my blood pressure did n't go up . so there 's that . but , um ... i 'm wondering if -- and i 'm not sure what the right terminology is -- but i 'm wondering if i 'm projecting my residual anger onto my nephew kyle at work . dr. clay : hmm . that 's an interesting self - diagnosis . billy : [ chuckles ] yeah , well , i 'm not armchair shrink , but , um ... i 'm just trying to figure out why i 'm feeling the way i am . i do think that it would still be about -- about delia . dr. clay : do you ? billy : i do n't know , uh ... i mean , i do n't know what else i have to be angry about . dr. clay : maybe we should talk about that . billy : about what ? dr. clay : the bigger picture . i remember you talking about other times in your past when you felt like you let your family down , or screwed up in different ways . billy : you 're calling me a screw - up now ? dr. clay : [ chuckles ] those were your words , not mine . billy : right . no , that does sound like me . dr. clay : you went through periods when you were gambling , had affairs ... billy : yeah . dr. clay : slept with your girlfriend 's daughter . billy : okay . is this actually constructive ? dr. clay : it is . if you want to put things in context . a lot of those incidents happened before you lost delia , correct ? billy : yeah . i guess . [ sighs ] yeah . so , what are you saying ? uh , you 're saying i ca n't blame everything on my grief ? what , you -- do you think i 'm sabotaging myself ? nate : i 'm going before the medical board tomorrow . amanda may be my best hope in keeping my license . elena : any lawyer would be better than that barracuda who helped rip off devon . nate : we do n't know she 's a part of the con job . elena : chance made it very clear that he did not hire her . come on , nate , do the math . nate : amanda said the client was just a voice over the phone . elena : [ scoffs ] and i do n't believe that for a second , and , quite frankly , i 'm surprised you do . nate : i guess we 'll have to agree to disagree n this . even if i wanted to hire someone else to represent me , it 's too late . elena : [ scoffs ] well . okay . wish you luck . cane : all right , you know exactly how to handle my old man , okay ? you do n't let him get away with anything . okay . [ sighs ] devon : so , what did jill say ? cane : she said that she 's tracked him down in the maldives , and she 's waiting to catch a puddle - jumper to this secluded island where he is hiding out . devon : and she has n't spoken to colin yet ? cane : no , not yet . but if anyone can get the truth out of my old man , it 's jill . chance : what island is he on ? cane : kuredu . what are you doing ? chance : booking the next flight out . discomfort back there ? billy : hey . kyle : hey . so , i made some decisions while you were gone . i 'll run them by you before implementing them . i 'm gon na order pizza . that okay ? billy : i 'd go with the chicken parm . look ... i owe you an apology . i 've been , uh , riding you a little too hard here , and , uh , i just want to tell you that i 'm gon na listen , and i 'm gon na give all your ideas full consideration . kyle : whoa . okay . billy : no , i 'm serious . and i 've thought a lot about the shapewear , and , you know , you 're right . you did your research , and , uh , i think that it 's a risk worth taking . kyle : really ? billy : yes , really . kyle : why do i feel like i 'm almost to the top of the billy express , and i 'm gon na lose my lunch on the way down ? billy : i do n't know . but you 're not . the train is pulling into the station . kyle : i 'll be honest with you , i do n't know what to think . i do n't know where you were coming from before , and i do n't know where you 're coming from now . billy : yeah . all i can tell you is that it 's not coming from a place of grief or anger or insecurity or ego . look ... this family company , the family legacy , it can be a lot , and it can really do your head in . and , to be honest , i have n't always dealt with it very well , and , apparently , i 'm not dealing with it very well now , either , but ... [ sighs ] i 'm gon na be better , okay ? i 'm gon na try and be better . kyle : okay . billy : okay . kyle : can i ask you a question ? billy : just do n't ask me about this epiphany , okay ? just , uh ... roll with it . kyle : all right . billy : okay . kyle : you like pepperoni on your pizza ? billy : no . cane : going to the maldives is a mistake . jill has n't asked for your help , and she does n't need it . devon : well , he 's going . cane : come on , devon . come on . chance : i 'm sorry , what was that ? devon : cane , i do n't care what you or jill want , i really do n't , because if colin has done what we think he 's done , then i want someone with the authority to bring him back to the u.s. and lock him the hell up . cane : we do n't know what he 's done . devon : cane ! cane ! i 'm tired of listening to you try and stall and justify and explain all this away . this is what 's happening . chance : okay , thank you . my flight leaves tomorrow afternoon . cane : you do n't have to do this . chance : it 's done . chelsea : let 's keep the room discounts on the website going till the end of the month . chloe : okay , that 's a good idea . chelsea : yeah . if we can keep this hotel at least half - capacity over the next few weeks , i 'll consider that a win . chloe : okay . you know , i -- i 'm happy to continue to talk about work stuff , if that 's what you want , but ... if you want to talk about more important stuff , too ... chelsea : you saw how things were with nick . i mean , i 'm really worried about him , me , but my main focus is connor . chloe : of course . if there 's anything that i can do to help , you let me know . chelsea : thank you . he 's really just clinging to adam , who , i have to say , has been really , really great . [ cellphone rings ] oh . speaking of ... excuse me . chloe : yeah . chelsea : hey . is everything okay ? adam : yeah , connor 's fine . it 's not an emergency . but , uh , he 's been asking about you . and i thought it would be a good idea for the three of us to spend some together . chelsea : oh , i -- i do n't know if that 's the best idea . adam : chelsea . he needs both of us . and i know that he has been fixated on us getting back together , and we can deflect all of that . i just want to do what 's best for him now . chelsea : of course . me , too . um ... yeah , you 're right . adam : great . well , we 're just hanging out if you want to come over for a little while . chelsea : sure . i 'll be by in a bit . adam : thank you . nick : michael ? it 's nick . i need to see simon black as soon as possible . next week on `` the young and the restless `` ... phyllis : we could do whatever we want . and we 're two consenting adults . i mean , that leaves it open . abby : what did you want to talk to me about ? chance : i want to make you an offer . jill : come out , come out , wherever you are . colin : a - ha ! my fetching , fiery mate ! what took you so long ?Summarize.[/INST]billy arranged to open another jabotique without kyle 's input , which angered kyle because billy had recently railed at him for making a unilateral decision at work . billy felt that kyle had n't earned his job , and kyle accused billy of being on an ego trip . chance told devon and elena that he had nothing to do with hiring amanda or contesting katherine 's will . devon confronted cane and accused him of conning him out of his inheritance , but cane maintained his innocence . jill called cane to report she 'd tracked colin to the maldives . chance booked a flight to the maldives , and cane tried to convince chance not to go , which made devon more suspicious . elena tried to convince nate that amanda was a scammer , but he did n't believe it . after connor did n't connect with his new therapist , adam had sharon come talk to him . sharon felt connor needed more time with both parents .</s> | 18,594 |

[ scene_break ] lulu : i 'll start . as you know , i lied to dante . that is on me . but my brother lucky 's life was on the line , and as it turns out , ethan was in trouble , too , so i did what i felt i had to do , valerie . i went after them . and , yes , i covered for that trip with a story about taking care of my grandmother in italy . but dante never would have suspected me if it was n't for you . [ scene_break ] dante : sonny 's employees were shot , and his property was stolen . that makes him the victim , no ? jordan : well , i 'm more interested in what was in the shipment . maybe your father could enlighten us . dante : okay . i will bring him in for questioning , but i 'd advise against it . jordan : why ? you would n't happen to be protecting your father , would you ? dante : no , absolutely not . jordan : then why are you pushing back ? dante : you 're not gon na intimidate him by bringing him in for questioning , even if you hold him for 48 hours . jordan : well , i 've heard rumors that your father is claustrophobic , no ? dante : that 's true . it does n't mean he 's gon na enjoy the experience , but his lawyer , ric lansing , will get him out in no time , and then he will slap a harassment suit on his behalf , and -- it 's happened before . jordan : okay , can you suggest an alternative ? dante : yeah . in the last two months , sonny 's lost two key players -- shawn and lavery . a cop , you , infiltrated his organization . he 's gon na have to reorganize everything , get hands on , and that gives us something to go on . me and west , we can build a case , make it concrete , but we need time . i will start by going through this . [ scene_break ] sonny : i 'm glad you 're here , julian . that way i do n't have to , you know , get somebody to track you down . julian : [ sighs ] sonny : thanks , philly . julian : i want to talk to you without any extra ears . sonny : well , tj , he was here first , so you 're gon na have to wait till we 're finished . tj : you know , it 's no problem . we can pick this up later . sonny : okay , you know what ? i do n't know if you allow people to come into your house and give you orders , but i do n't allow it in mine . so even if you are coming back , which i do n't see a reason for you to do that , learn your manners . julian : we need to settle this , sonny . sonny : settle what ? my shipment was hijacked . my employee was shot . like i said before , you got to learn some manners ! julian : it was n't me . i had nothing to do with it . [ scene_break ] sam : hey , over here . alexis : i 'm trying to have michael reinstated at elq , and the swing vote , lucy coe , sided with nikolas . i mean , this is in compliance with the corporate bylaws , so i really do n't see what i can offer in the way of legal recourse . sam : i just ca n't believe nikolas actually turned out to be a true cassadine . alexis : neither can i . what the hell is going on with him ? i am mortified on behalf of my whole family . i wish there was something i could do more to make amends to the quartermaines . especially tracy . she dove into this whole thing now to try to save her father 's legacy , because luke left her for laura . [ scene_break ] luke : i should have told you that my sons ' lives were in danger . tracy : luke , the boys ' lives were at stake . you had to pretend that you were back with laura again in order to protect them . luke : but i regret it . it was a mistake . tracy : well , that 's easy to say in hindsight . if things had turned out differently , and lucky or ethan had died because you confided in me , you never would have forgiven yourself . luke : no , i would n't . tracy : you were a parent desperate to protect your children , and you had to make the choices you made no matter how much those choices hurt me . luke : but i do . i do regret it . tracy : i accept your apology , and i forgive you . luke : you do n't know how much that means to me . thank you . i 've been carrying this around since the last time we were on this rust bucket . i 'd like nothing more than to get back to where we were that night . be my fiancée ? [ scene_break ] maxie : you did not have to do all of this for my welcome home . nathan : yeah , i did . planning all of this and working all those extra shifts was the only way i could keep my mind off how much i missed you . how much i missed your smile and your laugh and giant mess you make in the kitchen when you cook . maxie : hey , quinoa is really hard to do right . nathan : and i miss watching you pick out your shoes for the day , as if that 's some huge , monumental decision . maxie : well , proper footwear can be life - altering . nathan : and i miss your lectures on fashion , and how you always manage to turn them into insights on people and life . i miss going over my day with you and getting your advice . i miss holding you and sleeping next to you and listening to you breathe . maxie : is that your polite way of telling me i snore ? nathan : no , no . hey . i mean it , maxie . i miss this . i miss us . there 's no one like you . i ca n't stand to be away from you . maxie : i love you so much . [ scene_break ] luke : you have no idea how much it means to me to hear you say you forgive me . i 've learned from my mistakes , tracy . i want nothing more in life than just to spend the rest of it with you . marry me . this is the place where you put out your hand , and i slip the ring on your finger . tracy : i 'm not gon na marry you . luke : but you said you forgive me . tracy : i do . with all my heart . but i 'm still not gon na marry you . luke : why not ? tracy : okay . bec -- before i came here , i -- i was with paul . luke : oh , do n't tell me you 're gon na take up with that hound hornsby ! tracy : we had breakfast ! we did not renew our vows ! luke : i do n't care what this guy 's selling , tracy . do n't buy it . apart from being dillon 's father , he 's an empty suit . tracy : i did n't say that i trusted him . just listen to me . i learned something from being with him . luke : what could you possibly learn from this guy ? ! he has no soul ! tracy : it 's not about paul ! it 's about me ! luke , this last year has been hell for me . my father 's company was under siege , and it was my fault , because i made it vulnerable . and then there was you and your suffering . and i suffered , too . elq , you . elq , you . month after month . and then you left with laura . and i really hit bottom . luke : i would do anything to go back and change that . tracy : i 'm not saying this to make you feel bad . i just am trying to get you to understand where i am and how i got here . luke : here being the place where you wo n't marry me . tracy : when paul showed up , we were both in pain . we both thought we 'd been dumped . and suddenly , i found myself laughing . i forgot about you . i forgot about elq . we went for a walk . we lazed in the sun . we drank the afternoon away , and we ended up in bed . it was so easy . it was so enjoyable . [ voice breaking ] it was fun . i had fun ! i have n't had fun in over a year . [ scene_break ] alexis : luke supposedly recovered . he swore to tracy and his family that he had changed . sam : hmm , like julian swore to us . do n't look at me like that , mom . he said he renounced the mob , and all of a sudden , there was a hit on sonny 's warehouse last night ? alexis : what are you trying to say ? sam : [ sighs ] maybe he has n't given up the mob , after all . [ scene_break ] sonny : you 're innocent . your hands are clean . i 've heard it all before , julian . julian : i mean it , sonny . i had nothing to do with that raid on your warehouse . sonny : well , it was a robbery , which fits your pattern . right ? because you 've stolen a lot from me . julian : it was n't me . like i told you that day at the police station , i 'm out of the business . sonny : okay , you know what ? did you go -- you went to college , right ? julian : yeah . sonny : well , i did n't , but i had a -- i had an english teacher in high school . his name was brother norbert . and he made us read shakespeare , and i liked it . you know why ? because you can learn a lot from the kings and the princes . the warring families . julian : you want to talk shakespeare ? sonny : you fit right in . the mobster who doth protest too much ? [ scene_break ] jordan : detective , we need to talk about valerie . dante : okay . is there something wrong with her work ? jordan : no , her work 's fine . the problem is your personal relationship with her . [ scene_break ] lulu : before this all unraveled , you came over to clear the air about that -- that stupid headline in the press . and to ask if i was okay with your friendship with my husband ! now , obviously , you overheard dillon and i discussing our secret . valerie : yeah , you were standing in an open doorway hugging each other , talking about how dante could n't know . lulu : and instead of asking me about what you overheard , you took that information to dante ? valerie : oh , so you 're saying if i would have asked you , you would have told me ? lulu : the point is , is that you never gave me the chance to explain ! and then you took my husband down the road of thinking that i was cheating on him with dillon . valerie : no , that was never my intention . dante was worried because you were acting strange . okay , he noticed that i was upset after i went to see you , and he asked why . i tried to dodge , but he kept pressing , so i told him the truth . lulu : you should have stayed out of it ! valerie : i made it clear that i did n't hear the entire conversation , and that i could have been wrong , but he was worried enough to follow through . and because you kept lying , it kind of snowballed from there . lulu : more like an avalanche . dante told me everything that happened after i left with dillon . and now i need to hear it from you . [ scene_break ] maxie : no . no , you can not kiss me . nathan : why not ? maxie : because i had no time to shower before i left . ellie and spinelli 's building is having water problems , and then georgie spilled chocolate milk on me right before i got out of the car at the airport . then i had the middle seat on the plane . the passenger to one side of me was coughing . the passenger on the other side was scratching . you ca n't touch me . nathan : i 'll risk it , all right ? i once got a commendation for bravery . maxie : i need to be disinfected . nathan : i have a very strong immune system . maxie : no , listen to me . i 'm gon na shower . you will wait here , and i will come back when i 'm clean , okay ? nathan : no , i got a better idea . maxie : nathan , no . what are you doing ? this is a violation of relationship etiquette ! [ scene_break ] dante : there 's no problem between me and valerie . jordan : i disagree . i could tell something was bothering her , and with a little pushing , she does n't confide very easily , but i think she was actually trying to protect you . valerie told me what happened . dante : there was a misunderstanding . jordan : so that 's -- that 's what you 're gon na refer to it as ? dante : we kissed , okay , and that 's -- jordan : you did a lot more than kiss , detective . i know that you slept with valerie . [ scene_break ] valerie : i 'm sure dante covered it all . lulu : valerie . i am asking you to do me the courtesy of telling me your side of how it all went down . valerie : i knew dante was upset , so i stopped by to check on him . lulu : you could n't have called ? you had to do it in person ? valerie : you know , he told me that you made up a cover story , and then you snuck off to the quartermaines ' where dillon was waiting for you in nothing but a towel . then you called him to tell him that your grandmother had sprained her ankle , and that you needed to fly to italy to take care of her . except you were in canada with dillon in a hotel room together . lulu : i know that dante assumed the worst , okay ? and he already told me that he trashed me to you . valerie : he wanted to go after you . he wanted to jump on a plane and confront you , but given how upset he was , i tried to talk him down . god , he was pretty volatile , and one thing lead to another , and that 's when the kiss happened . lulu : did you kiss him back ? [ scene_break ] alexis : i am telling you that your father is no longer involved with the mob in any way . sam : are you sure about that ? [ scene_break ] julian : you can doubt me all you want . the only person that matters to me is alexis . now , i told her i was leaving the business , and i have . sonny : you told her ? julian : yeah . sonny : that -- she must have loved that 'cause , you know , there 's nothing alexis would love more than to make a mobster give up the life , you know , for her sake . did you tell her that you respect her ethics and her principles , and that you 're gon na live by her rules for the rest of your life ? julian : actually , it was the death of olivia 's baby that was the wake - up call . sonny : oh . julian : i figure that it was karma for all my wrongs . sonny : hmm . well , that baby , may he rest in peace , died because he was born too soon . whatever karma you have coming to you lands on you , not that innocent baby . julian : look , i 'm telling you , sonny . i had to jump off that ride before my family ever gets caught in it again . sonny : you still trying to convince me that you 're getting out of the business to protect your family ? all right , let 's say i buy it . if it was n't you , who hijacked my shipment ? [ scene_break ] luke : tracy , i can wipe paul hornsby off the fun spectrum . i 'm just getting back to myself . give me a chance . i can put the twinkle in your eye . i can make you laugh again . we can be great together again ! tracy : maybe we can . just not now . luke : why are you saying this ? tracy : luke , your experience has changed you fundamentally , but you 're still trying to be the scam artist , the gambler who beats the odds . you 're trying to be the old luke . look at me . you need to be somebody new . luke : okay , well , i need to find out who that new guy is , and i need to find out with you . tracy : luke , the last time you proposed , you gave me 30 days to make up my mind . i 've made my decision . i can not marry you now . and you ca n't marry me , either , and you know it . luke : i am ready to marry . i am . [ sighs ] do n't turn me down . just take a little more time . tracy : i do n't need any more time . after being with paul and just being myself , i realized i need to shed the twin weights that are you and elq and just be me . luke : but you can be you with me . tracy : no , i ca n't . you 're not you yet . you have n't recovered from what happened . luke : you saw the papers . the doctors signed off . i was released ! tracy : [ sighs ] luke , i know you want to be whole . for me , for everybody that loves you . but you want to be the luke that you used to be , and you ca n't be that person again . you ca n't expect to heal after two months . luke : look , the -- the poison that i was running from , i did n't even know was in there . tracy : luke . you endured how many hours under a needle , so that you could remind yourself never to let the darkness that was your father inhabit you , but that 's just the beginning . you have to come to terms with the abuse , with the death of your mother , with the loss of your sister . luke : but i have . i have come to t - t - terms with all of that . i 'm ready to move forward , and i want to move forward with you ! tracy : you only want to marry me , so you can feel like the old luke . you have to make your peace with your history , luke . you have to absorb it in your heart and your soul . luke : okay , well , even if that 's true , that does n't negate what we have . tracy : so , when you process all that 's happened , it 's gon na change you . you 're gon na be a new man . you do n't know that that man 's gon na love me , or that i 'm -- that i 'm gon na love him . luke : what , now you 're asking me to foretell the future ? tracy : no . i 'm just -- i 'm just -- [ voice breaking ] trying to tell you that we ca n't have a life together . luke : so that 's it ? you 're done with me . so we just say good - bye ? and go off in separate directions ? tracy : [ laughs ] [ scene_break ] sam : i want to believe him , i really do , just like i wanted to believe him that night that we were at the art gallery , and he said that he was leaving the mob . and five seconds later , lucas gets shot . alexis : and he was forced to lie because luke was threatening to kill him and us . sam : luke , who is so completely recovered , that he leaves tracy at their engagement party . alexis : i do n't know whether luke is better or not . i know that he 's no longer in the mob , which has allowed julian to clean up his act . [ scene_break ] julian : there 's no shortage of players out there looking to take my place . one of them must have taken your shipment . sonny : that 's all you 're gon na give me ? 'cause it 's pretty vague . julian : [ sighs ] i 'm sure your latest rival will surface soon enough . i just came by to tell you that my hands are clean . sonny : yeah , well , you know what ? maybe they are . julian : good , i 'm glad we understand each other . sonny : no , what i understand is , i overestimated you , julian . because when you said you were coming over here to take what 's mine , i thought you were serious . but you know what ? you 're just talk ! it 's all you are . you ca n't pay the price . you ca n't carry the weight . when the stakes get too high , you fold like a deck of cards , and you run . julian : well , you call it what you want . i will call it what i want . i 'm out . i 'm out . now that you know that , do n't waste your time coming after me . sonny : hey , julian . do n't lie to me . [ scene_break ] dante : you know , what happened between me and valerie took place while i was off duty , in the privacy of my own home . so , to be honest with you , the truth is , you do n't know nothing about it . jordan : uh , detective ? why do n't you enlighten me ? dante : my wife and i are trying to work things out . i explained that to valerie . she understands . she 's actually pretty cool about it . jordan : you sure about that ? [ scene_break ] lulu : i know why dante kissed you . what i need to know is , did you kiss him back ? valerie ! valerie : the kiss stopped almost as soon as it started . dante was feeling bad because you lied to him , and then you took off on a trip to british columbia to spend the night in a hotel room with dillon ? lulu : to try to save my brother ! valerie : well , i did n't want him to feel bad about me , too , so i left . lulu : that 's the way dante told it , too . is there anything else you need to tell me ? valerie : yes . there is something else . [ scene_break ] [ maxie & nathan shower together ] maxie : i feel a thousand times better . nathan : me , too . maxie : that 's not the better i was referring to . nathan : oh ? then , come on , let 's go . maxie : where are we going ? nathan : we are going back to the shower . i 'm not gon na stop until you feel better in every possible way . maxie : no , no . i feel better , indescribably better . i have n't been able to think this straight in , like , the last 12 hours . and if you take me back to the shower , i will be basically incoherent . nathan : and what 's wrong with that ? maxie : nothing . [ laughs ] but i 'm trying to be a good friend , and i have not gotten an update on the weirdness between dillon and lulu . like how she said they had to lie and run off together to save lucky 's life . speaking of , have you talked to dante ? did he find out where lulu really went ? nathan : no , i -- i have n't touched base with him today . i was too busy working all those extra shifts so i could take time off to welcome you home . maxie : what was i saying ? nathan : i have no idea . maxie : right , lulu and dante . okay , i 'm sure all is right in their world , and they 're back to being the most blissful married couple that i know . [ scene_break ] valerie : i 'm sorry about the kiss . lulu : anything else ? valerie : it was not my intention to go to your apartment and kiss your husband . i was just checking on my friend who i knew was hurting . and as it turns out , dante and i were wrong about what was going on between you and dillon , but neither of us could have known that , because you chose to lie . lulu : so you 're saying that this is all my fault . valerie : no , i 'm saying that a lot of mistakes were made , but it 's over . and i 'm not into your husband , and i 'm -- i 'm not a threat to your marriage . this has n't been easy for me , lulu . god ! meeting my long - lost family , adjusting to the idea that you 're my cousin . and i get the sense that it has n't been easy for you , either . lulu : i did the best i could to welcome you , okay ? valerie : and i 'm doing the best i can to find my way . i understand how important family is to you . not just dante or rocco , but your father , and your brothers , and the whole spencer clan . so , since i 'm family , is there any way we can get through this ? [ scene_break ] dante : valerie assured me that she 's okay with how things worked out . why are you telling me she is n't ? jordan : i just do n't think that valerie is the type of person who just shakes something like this off . dante : well , i can assure you that i 'm not taking what happened lightly . jordan : oh , and i hope you mean that . just , look , do n't hurt valerie any more than you already have . and above all , do not , i repeat , do not let this happen again . i do n't think i have to warn you about the consequences of this type of behavior in my department . are we clear ? dante : clear . i hope you can accept my apology . jordan : i do . but i do n't think i 'm the one who needs to forgive you . [ scene_break ] alexis : he says he wants a life with me , and he 's willing to accept my terms . [ cell phone ringing ] sam : okay , i was just being cautious . i do n't want him to hurt you again . alexis : i got this . sam : okay , okay . if you have faith in him , then i will , too . [ scene_break ] tracy : we 'll never be done with each other . i ca n't imagine a world without you in it . luke : you just prefer that my part of the world stay far away from yours . tracy : you need time without me , luke . and i need time without you . i have n't been able to reconcile the part i played . luke : i used and abused your love . that was your part . tracy : people could n't understand why i did n't see that something was wrong . but i did . i knew how much you 'd changed , but i just chalked it up to your time at miscavige and decided that i could fix it . i could fix you . luke : but you did . you fixed me . you and barbara and lulu and patricia . you all lead me to the truth . you made it possible for me to move into the future and not be trapped in the past . tracy : that was only the beginning . you have got to walk this tightrope without me as your safety net . i ca n't fix this for you . you have to do it . you know it . luke : yes , i do . i thought that if we married , that would repair it all . but you 're right . it would n't . this is something i have to do myself . tracy : [ sobs ] [ scene_break ] julian : stop questioning my judgment , damn it . just get it done . [ scene_break ] sonny : hijacking was a start . somebody is -- is about to make another move . security was tight . we need -- we need -- this has got to be perfect . philly : understood . [ scene_break ] julian : hi , darling . so , what mother - daughter secrets are you two sharing , hmm ? alexis : mm . i was telling sam about the motion i 'm filing against nikolas on behalf to the quartermaines . julian : i have to say , your nephew had me fooled . i really did n't think that prince nikolas had it in him to screw over the quartermaines so royally . alexis : neither did we . we believed in nikolas , and as it turns out , he 's been lying to everyone . [ scene_break ] dante : lulu . hey , what are you doing here ? lulu : i came to see my cousin . i needed to clear the air between us . dante : and did you ? lulu : yeah . we discussed the kiss between you two . she said it was a mistake . she assured me that she does not have feelings for you , so it 's over . everything can go back to the way it was . valerie 's my cousin . the two of you can be just friends again . [ scene_break ] maxie : it totally looked like lulu and dillon were sneaking off together , and i guess technically they were , but it was n't sexually . they were just being adventurous and rescuing her brother , so some things ca n't be judged by appearances . some people actually have really good , noble reasons for running off and lying . nathan : anything 's possible . maxie : on the other hand , some things are exactly as they seem . exhibit `` a , `` lulu 's cousin , valerie . she is way too into dante . i know he thinks that they 're just friends , but she wants more . nathan : speaking of more -- maxie : nope , mnh - mnh . i ca n't eat one more bite . nathan : i was n't talking about the food . maxie : well , you must want more of something . nathan : well , i thought that since we just got clean with our little vertical encounter in the shower , that we might try getting dirty with an encounter of the horizontal variety . maxie : maybe then we could try diagonally . [ scene_break ] luke : tracy angelica . tracy , my past only showed me where i 'd been , and i -- i 'm gon na have to find out where i 'm going on my own . tracy : knowing it 's right does n't make it any easier to say good - bye . luke : no , it does n't . but no matter what happens , whether we do end up married or -- do n't see each other again , you will always be part of me . who 'd of thunk it , huh ? tracy : [ laughs ] luke : smart , savvy heiress from the quartermaine family and a smart - mouthed , blue - collar punk from elm street ? nobody would have ever thought those two would work together , but we worked . and how lucky was i to have had a few years loving you , being your friend , and your sometimes nemesis . tracy : [ laughs ] luke : i 'll always be grateful for that . tracy : i was the lucky one . it was a privilege to know you and to love you . you will always be the best time i 've ever had . luke : i will love you forever . tracy : [ voice breaking ] i 'll -- love you forever , too .

[ scene_break ] sam : are you posting selfies of you and julian again ? alexis : no , i 'm not . sam : what , are you tweeting about the latest episode of `` guns , lawyers , and money `` ? is that what it is ? alexis : neither . i 'm filing a motion that i have to get done tonight , or my client 's gon na have my head . sam : ooh , sounds intimidating . do i know this person ? alexis : who does n't know tracy quartermaine ? [ scene_break ] luke : tracy , i was just about to charge over to casa quartermaine and beg you one more time to hear me out . tracy : here i am . ready to talk about our future . [ scene_break ] maxie : after the plane ride i just had , it 's entirely possible that i 'm hallucinating you . nathan : nope . no hallucination . i am the real deal . maxie : but how ? i thought that you had to work . nathan : i did . i just picked up double shifts the whole time you were gone so i could be here when you got back . i knew you 'd be missing georgie , and i did n't want you to have to come home to an empty apartment . maxie : it was really hard to leave her . she is so amazing , nathan . ellie and spinelli brought her to the airport to pick me up , and she ran into my arms and called me `` mommy . `` i loved every minute i got to spend with her , but the three of them , they have a really great family together . although i love spending time with georgie , i do n't have doubts or regrets about the decision that i made . nathan : well , still , i knew you 'd be missing her , and i thought that maybe i could make that a little easier . maxie : by turning my apartment into a greenhouse ? i love it . it 's so beautiful . did you make that sign yourself ? nathan : maybe . can you believe how talented i am ? maxie : yes . you 're pretty much all - around wonderful . nathan : you inspire me . i missed you so much , i could barely breathe . [ scene_break ] lulu : i 'll start . as you know , i lied to dante . that is on me . but my brother lucky 's life was on the line , and as it turns out , ethan was in trouble , too , so i did what i felt i had to do , valerie . i went after them . and , yes , i covered for that trip with a story about taking care of my grandmother in italy . but dante never would have suspected me if it was n't for you . [ scene_break ] dante : sonny 's employees were shot , and his property was stolen . that makes him the victim , no ? jordan : well , i 'm more interested in what was in the shipment . maybe your father could enlighten us . dante : okay . i will bring him in for questioning , but i 'd advise against it . jordan : why ? you would n't happen to be protecting your father , would you ? dante : no , absolutely not . jordan : then why are you pushing back ? dante : you 're not gon na intimidate him by bringing him in for questioning , even if you hold him for 48 hours . jordan : well , i 've heard rumors that your father is claustrophobic , no ? dante : that 's true . it does n't mean he 's gon na enjoy the experience , but his lawyer , ric lansing , will get him out in no time , and then he will slap a harassment suit on his behalf , and -- it 's happened before . jordan : okay , can you suggest an alternative ? dante : yeah . in the last two months , sonny 's lost two key players -- shawn and lavery . a cop , you , infiltrated his organization . he 's gon na have to reorganize everything , get hands on , and that gives us something to go on . me and west , we can build a case , make it concrete , but we need time . i will start by going through this . [ scene_break ] sonny : i 'm glad you 're here , julian . that way i do n't have to , you know , get somebody to track you down . julian : [ sighs ] sonny : thanks , philly . julian : i want to talk to you without any extra ears . sonny : well , tj , he was here first , so you 're gon na have to wait till we 're finished . tj : you know , it 's no problem . we can pick this up later . sonny : okay , you know what ? i do n't know if you allow people to come into your house and give you orders , but i do n't allow it in mine . so even if you are coming back , which i do n't see a reason for you to do that , learn your manners . julian : we need to settle this , sonny . sonny : settle what ? my shipment was hijacked . my employee was shot . like i said before , you got to learn some manners ! julian : it was n't me . i had nothing to do with it . [ scene_break ] sam : hey , over here . alexis : i 'm trying to have michael reinstated at elq , and the swing vote , lucy coe , sided with nikolas . i mean , this is in compliance with the corporate bylaws , so i really do n't see what i can offer in the way of legal recourse . sam : i just ca n't believe nikolas actually turned out to be a true cassadine . alexis : neither can i . what the hell is going on with him ? i am mortified on behalf of my whole family . i wish there was something i could do more to make amends to the quartermaines . especially tracy . she dove into this whole thing now to try to save her father 's legacy , because luke left her for laura . [ scene_break ] luke : i should have told you that my sons ' lives were in danger . tracy : luke , the boys ' lives were at stake . you had to pretend that you were back with laura again in order to protect them . luke : but i regret it . it was a mistake . tracy : well , that 's easy to say in hindsight . if things had turned out differently , and lucky or ethan had died because you confided in me , you never would have forgiven yourself . luke : no , i would n't . tracy : you were a parent desperate to protect your children , and you had to make the choices you made no matter how much those choices hurt me . luke : but i do . i do regret it . tracy : i accept your apology , and i forgive you . luke : you do n't know how much that means to me . thank you . i 've been carrying this around since the last time we were on this rust bucket . i 'd like nothing more than to get back to where we were that night . be my fiancée ? [ scene_break ] maxie : you did not have to do all of this for my welcome home . nathan : yeah , i did . planning all of this and working all those extra shifts was the only way i could keep my mind off how much i missed you . how much i missed your smile and your laugh and giant mess you make in the kitchen when you cook . maxie : hey , quinoa is really hard to do right . nathan : and i miss watching you pick out your shoes for the day , as if that 's some huge , monumental decision . maxie : well , proper footwear can be life - altering . nathan : and i miss your lectures on fashion , and how you always manage to turn them into insights on people and life . i miss going over my day with you and getting your advice . i miss holding you and sleeping next to you and listening to you breathe . maxie : is that your polite way of telling me i snore ? nathan : no , no . hey . i mean it , maxie . i miss this . i miss us . there 's no one like you . i ca n't stand to be away from you . maxie : i love you so much . [ scene_break ] luke : you have no idea how much it means to me to hear you say you forgive me . i 've learned from my mistakes , tracy . i want nothing more in life than just to spend the rest of it with you . marry me . this is the place where you put out your hand , and i slip the ring on your finger . tracy : i 'm not gon na marry you . luke : but you said you forgive me . tracy : i do . with all my heart . but i 'm still not gon na marry you . luke : why not ? tracy : okay . bec -- before i came here , i -- i was with paul . luke : oh , do n't tell me you 're gon na take up with that hound hornsby ! tracy : we had breakfast ! we did not renew our vows ! luke : i do n't care what this guy 's selling , tracy . do n't buy it . apart from being dillon 's father , he 's an empty suit . tracy : i did n't say that i trusted him . just listen to me . i learned something from being with him . luke : what could you possibly learn from this guy ? ! he has no soul ! tracy : it 's not about paul ! it 's about me ! luke , this last year has been hell for me . my father 's company was under siege , and it was my fault , because i made it vulnerable . and then there was you and your suffering . and i suffered , too . elq , you . elq , you . month after month . and then you left with laura . and i really hit bottom . luke : i would do anything to go back and change that . tracy : i 'm not saying this to make you feel bad . i just am trying to get you to understand where i am and how i got here . luke : here being the place where you wo n't marry me . tracy : when paul showed up , we were both in pain . we both thought we 'd been dumped . and suddenly , i found myself laughing . i forgot about you . i forgot about elq . we went for a walk . we lazed in the sun . we drank the afternoon away , and we ended up in bed . it was so easy . it was so enjoyable . [ voice breaking ] it was fun . i had fun ! i have n't had fun in over a year . [ scene_break ] alexis : luke supposedly recovered . he swore to tracy and his family that he had changed . sam : hmm , like julian swore to us . do n't look at me like that , mom . he said he renounced the mob , and all of a sudden , there was a hit on sonny 's warehouse last night ? alexis : what are you trying to say ? sam : [ sighs ] maybe he has n't given up the mob , after all . [ scene_break ] sonny : you 're innocent . your hands are clean . i 've heard it all before , julian . julian : i mean it , sonny . i had nothing to do with that raid on your warehouse . sonny : well , it was a robbery , which fits your pattern . right ? because you 've stolen a lot from me . julian : it was n't me . like i told you that day at the police station , i 'm out of the business . sonny : okay , you know what ? did you go -- you went to college , right ? julian : yeah . sonny : well , i did n't , but i had a -- i had an english teacher in high school . his name was brother norbert . and he made us read shakespeare , and i liked it . you know why ? because you can learn a lot from the kings and the princes . the warring families . julian : you want to talk shakespeare ? sonny : you fit right in . the mobster who doth protest too much ? [ scene_break ] jordan : detective , we need to talk about valerie . dante : okay . is there something wrong with her work ? jordan : no , her work 's fine . the problem is your personal relationship with her . [ scene_break ] lulu : before this all unraveled , you came over to clear the air about that -- that stupid headline in the press . and to ask if i was okay with your friendship with my husband ! now , obviously , you overheard dillon and i discussing our secret . valerie : yeah , you were standing in an open doorway hugging each other , talking about how dante could n't know . lulu : and instead of asking me about what you overheard , you took that information to dante ? valerie : oh , so you 're saying if i would have asked you , you would have told me ? lulu : the point is , is that you never gave me the chance to explain ! and then you took my husband down the road of thinking that i was cheating on him with dillon . valerie : no , that was never my intention . dante was worried because you were acting strange . okay , he noticed that i was upset after i went to see you , and he asked why . i tried to dodge , but he kept pressing , so i told him the truth . lulu : you should have stayed out of it ! valerie : i made it clear that i did n't hear the entire conversation , and that i could have been wrong , but he was worried enough to follow through . and because you kept lying , it kind of snowballed from there . lulu : more like an avalanche . dante told me everything that happened after i left with dillon . and now i need to hear it from you . [ scene_break ] maxie : no . no , you can not kiss me . nathan : why not ? maxie : because i had no time to shower before i left . ellie and spinelli 's building is having water problems , and then georgie spilled chocolate milk on me right before i got out of the car at the airport . then i had the middle seat on the plane . the passenger to one side of me was coughing . the passenger on the other side was scratching . you ca n't touch me . nathan : i 'll risk it , all right ? i once got a commendation for bravery . maxie : i need to be disinfected . nathan : i have a very strong immune system . maxie : no , listen to me . i 'm gon na shower . you will wait here , and i will come back when i 'm clean , okay ? nathan : no , i got a better idea . maxie : nathan , no . what are you doing ? this is a violation of relationship etiquette ! [ scene_break ] dante : there 's no problem between me and valerie . jordan : i disagree . i could tell something was bothering her , and with a little pushing , she does n't confide very easily , but i think she was actually trying to protect you . valerie told me what happened . dante : there was a misunderstanding . jordan : so that 's -- that 's what you 're gon na refer to it as ? dante : we kissed , okay , and that 's -- jordan : you did a lot more than kiss , detective . i know that you slept with valerie . [ scene_break ] valerie : i 'm sure dante covered it all . lulu : valerie . i am asking you to do me the courtesy of telling me your side of how it all went down . valerie : i knew dante was upset , so i stopped by to check on him . lulu : you could n't have called ? you had to do it in person ? valerie : you know , he told me that you made up a cover story , and then you snuck off to the quartermaines ' where dillon was waiting for you in nothing but a towel . then you called him to tell him that your grandmother had sprained her ankle , and that you needed to fly to italy to take care of her . except you were in canada with dillon in a hotel room together . lulu : i know that dante assumed the worst , okay ? and he already told me that he trashed me to you . valerie : he wanted to go after you . he wanted to jump on a plane and confront you , but given how upset he was , i tried to talk him down . god , he was pretty volatile , and one thing lead to another , and that 's when the kiss happened . lulu : did you kiss him back ? [ scene_break ] alexis : i am telling you that your father is no longer involved with the mob in any way . sam : are you sure about that ? [ scene_break ] julian : you can doubt me all you want . the only person that matters to me is alexis . now , i told her i was leaving the business , and i have . sonny : you told her ? julian : yeah . sonny : that -- she must have loved that 'cause , you know , there 's nothing alexis would love more than to make a mobster give up the life , you know , for her sake . did you tell her that you respect her ethics and her principles , and that you 're gon na live by her rules for the rest of your life ? julian : actually , it was the death of olivia 's baby that was the wake - up call . sonny : oh . julian : i figure that it was karma for all my wrongs . sonny : hmm . well , that baby , may he rest in peace , died because he was born too soon . whatever karma you have coming to you lands on you , not that innocent baby . julian : look , i 'm telling you , sonny . i had to jump off that ride before my family ever gets caught in it again . sonny : you still trying to convince me that you 're getting out of the business to protect your family ? all right , let 's say i buy it . if it was n't you , who hijacked my shipment ? [ scene_break ] luke : tracy , i can wipe paul hornsby off the fun spectrum . i 'm just getting back to myself . give me a chance . i can put the twinkle in your eye . i can make you laugh again . we can be great together again ! tracy : maybe we can . just not now . luke : why are you saying this ? tracy : luke , your experience has changed you fundamentally , but you 're still trying to be the scam artist , the gambler who beats the odds . you 're trying to be the old luke . look at me . you need to be somebody new . luke : okay , well , i need to find out who that new guy is , and i need to find out with you . tracy : luke , the last time you proposed , you gave me 30 days to make up my mind . i 've made my decision . i can not marry you now . and you ca n't marry me , either , and you know it . luke : i am ready to marry . i am . [ sighs ] do n't turn me down . just take a little more time . tracy : i do n't need any more time . after being with paul and just being myself , i realized i need to shed the twin weights that are you and elq and just be me . luke : but you can be you with me . tracy : no , i ca n't . you 're not you yet . you have n't recovered from what happened . luke : you saw the papers . the doctors signed off . i was released ! tracy : [ sighs ] luke , i know you want to be whole . for me , for everybody that loves you . but you want to be the luke that you used to be , and you ca n't be that person again . you ca n't expect to heal after two months . luke : look , the -- the poison that i was running from , i did n't even know was in there . tracy : luke . you endured how many hours under a needle , so that you could remind yourself never to let the darkness that was your father inhabit you , but that 's just the beginning . you have to come to terms with the abuse , with the death of your mother , with the loss of your sister . luke : but i have . i have come to t - t - terms with all of that . i 'm ready to move forward , and i want to move forward with you ! tracy : you only want to marry me , so you can feel like the old luke . you have to make your peace with your history , luke . you have to absorb it in your heart and your soul . luke : okay , well , even if that 's true , that does n't negate what we have . tracy : so , when you process all that 's happened , it 's gon na change you . you 're gon na be a new man . you do n't know that that man 's gon na love me , or that i 'm -- that i 'm gon na love him . luke : what , now you 're asking me to foretell the future ? tracy : no . i 'm just -- i 'm just -- [ voice breaking ] trying to tell you that we ca n't have a life together . luke : so that 's it ? you 're done with me . so we just say good - bye ? and go off in separate directions ? tracy : [ laughs ] [ scene_break ] sam : i want to believe him , i really do , just like i wanted to believe him that night that we were at the art gallery , and he said that he was leaving the mob . and five seconds later , lucas gets shot . alexis : and he was forced to lie because luke was threatening to kill him and us . sam : luke , who is so completely recovered , that he leaves tracy at their engagement party . alexis : i do n't know whether luke is better or not . i know that he 's no longer in the mob , which has allowed julian to clean up his act . [ scene_break ] julian : there 's no shortage of players out there looking to take my place . one of them must have taken your shipment . sonny : that 's all you 're gon na give me ? 'cause it 's pretty vague . julian : [ sighs ] i 'm sure your latest rival will surface soon enough . i just came by to tell you that my hands are clean . sonny : yeah , well , you know what ? maybe they are . julian : good , i 'm glad we understand each other . sonny : no , what i understand is , i overestimated you , julian . because when you said you were coming over here to take what 's mine , i thought you were serious . but you know what ? you 're just talk ! it 's all you are . you ca n't pay the price . you ca n't carry the weight . when the stakes get too high , you fold like a deck of cards , and you run . julian : well , you call it what you want . i will call it what i want . i 'm out . i 'm out . now that you know that , do n't waste your time coming after me . sonny : hey , julian . do n't lie to me . [ scene_break ] dante : you know , what happened between me and valerie took place while i was off duty , in the privacy of my own home . so , to be honest with you , the truth is , you do n't know nothing about it . jordan : uh , detective ? why do n't you enlighten me ? dante : my wife and i are trying to work things out . i explained that to valerie . she understands . she 's actually pretty cool about it . jordan : you sure about that ? [ scene_break ] lulu : i know why dante kissed you . what i need to know is , did you kiss him back ? valerie ! valerie : the kiss stopped almost as soon as it started . dante was feeling bad because you lied to him , and then you took off on a trip to british columbia to spend the night in a hotel room with dillon ? lulu : to try to save my brother ! valerie : well , i did n't want him to feel bad about me , too , so i left . lulu : that 's the way dante told it , too . is there anything else you need to tell me ? valerie : yes . there is something else . [ scene_break ] [ maxie & nathan shower together ] maxie : i feel a thousand times better . nathan : me , too . maxie : that 's not the better i was referring to . nathan : oh ? then , come on , let 's go . maxie : where are we going ? nathan : we are going back to the shower . i 'm not gon na stop until you feel better in every possible way . maxie : no , no . i feel better , indescribably better . i have n't been able to think this straight in , like , the last 12 hours . and if you take me back to the shower , i will be basically incoherent . nathan : and what 's wrong with that ? maxie : nothing . [ laughs ] but i 'm trying to be a good friend , and i have not gotten an update on the weirdness between dillon and lulu . like how she said they had to lie and run off together to save lucky 's life . speaking of , have you talked to dante ? did he find out where lulu really went ? nathan : no , i -- i have n't touched base with him today . i was too busy working all those extra shifts so i could take time off to welcome you home . maxie : what was i saying ? nathan : i have no idea . maxie : right , lulu and dante . okay , i 'm sure all is right in their world , and they 're back to being the most blissful married couple that i know . [ scene_break ] valerie : i 'm sorry about the kiss . lulu : anything else ? valerie : it was not my intention to go to your apartment and kiss your husband . i was just checking on my friend who i knew was hurting . and as it turns out , dante and i were wrong about what was going on between you and dillon , but neither of us could have known that , because you chose to lie . lulu : so you 're saying that this is all my fault . valerie : no , i 'm saying that a lot of mistakes were made , but it 's over . and i 'm not into your husband , and i 'm -- i 'm not a threat to your marriage . this has n't been easy for me , lulu . god ! meeting my long - lost family , adjusting to the idea that you 're my cousin . and i get the sense that it has n't been easy for you , either . lulu : i did the best i could to welcome you , okay ? valerie : and i 'm doing the best i can to find my way . i understand how important family is to you . not just dante or rocco , but your father , and your brothers , and the whole spencer clan . so , since i 'm family , is there any way we can get through this ? [ scene_break ] dante : valerie assured me that she 's okay with how things worked out . why are you telling me she is n't ? jordan : i just do n't think that valerie is the type of person who just shakes something like this off . dante : well , i can assure you that i 'm not taking what happened lightly . jordan : oh , and i hope you mean that . just , look , do n't hurt valerie any more than you already have . and above all , do not , i repeat , do not let this happen again . i do n't think i have to warn you about the consequences of this type of behavior in my department . are we clear ? dante : clear . i hope you can accept my apology . jordan : i do . but i do n't think i 'm the one who needs to forgive you . [ scene_break ] alexis : he says he wants a life with me , and he 's willing to accept my terms . [ cell phone ringing ] sam : okay , i was just being cautious . i do n't want him to hurt you again . alexis : i got this . sam : okay , okay . if you have faith in him , then i will , too . [ scene_break ] tracy : we 'll never be done with each other . i ca n't imagine a world without you in it . luke : you just prefer that my part of the world stay far away from yours . tracy : you need time without me , luke . and i need time without you . i have n't been able to reconcile the part i played . luke : i used and abused your love . that was your part . tracy : people could n't understand why i did n't see that something was wrong . but i did . i knew how much you 'd changed , but i just chalked it up to your time at miscavige and decided that i could fix it . i could fix you . luke : but you did . you fixed me . you and barbara and lulu and patricia . you all lead me to the truth . you made it possible for me to move into the future and not be trapped in the past . tracy : that was only the beginning . you have got to walk this tightrope without me as your safety net . i ca n't fix this for you . you have to do it . you know it . luke : yes , i do . i thought that if we married , that would repair it all . but you 're right . it would n't . this is something i have to do myself . tracy : [ sobs ] [ scene_break ] julian : stop questioning my judgment , damn it . just get it done . [ scene_break ] sonny : hijacking was a start . somebody is -- is about to make another move . security was tight . we need -- we need -- this has got to be perfect . philly : understood . [ scene_break ] julian : hi , darling . so , what mother - daughter secrets are you two sharing , hmm ? alexis : mm . i was telling sam about the motion i 'm filing against nikolas on behalf to the quartermaines . julian : i have to say , your nephew had me fooled . i really did n't think that prince nikolas had it in him to screw over the quartermaines so royally . alexis : neither did we . we believed in nikolas , and as it turns out , he 's been lying to everyone . [ scene_break ] dante : lulu . hey , what are you doing here ? lulu : i came to see my cousin . i needed to clear the air between us . dante : and did you ? lulu : yeah . we discussed the kiss between you two . she said it was a mistake . she assured me that she does not have feelings for you , so it 's over . everything can go back to the way it was . valerie 's my cousin . the two of you can be just friends again . [ scene_break ] maxie : it totally looked like lulu and dillon were sneaking off together , and i guess technically they were , but it was n't sexually . they were just being adventurous and rescuing her brother , so some things ca n't be judged by appearances . some people actually have really good , noble reasons for running off and lying . nathan : anything 's possible . maxie : on the other hand , some things are exactly as they seem . exhibit `` a , `` lulu 's cousin , valerie . she is way too into dante . i know he thinks that they 're just friends , but she wants more . nathan : speaking of more -- maxie : nope , mnh - mnh . i ca n't eat one more bite . nathan : i was n't talking about the food . maxie : well , you must want more of something . nathan : well , i thought that since we just got clean with our little vertical encounter in the shower , that we might try getting dirty with an encounter of the horizontal variety . maxie : maybe then we could try diagonally .

i want to speak to my wife . hilary : see ? that right there , that is the problem . you only see me as your wife , not as an individual who has her own professional goals . devon : that 's not true . hilary : [ scoffs ] i disagreed with you , and what did you do ? you fired me . devon : because we had different visions where the show was concerned . hilary : then why would you even want me back ? devon : because you 're a fantastic host . you light up in front of the camera . the audience responds to you . hilary : and ? go ahead , go ahead . keep -- keep the compliments coming . devon : and i love working with you . hilary : when i agree with you . devon : no . hilary . hilary : yes . devon : this is not about you agreeing with me , okay ? this is about you and me putting out something that we can both be proud of . hilary : i want that , too . i do . devon : then what 's the problem ? hilary : well , i also want a show that people will watch , okay ? devon , what good is all of that hard work if nobody 's gon na see it ? devon : i hear you . we will find middle ground . hilary : if you trust me . devon : you know i trust you . hilary : you have to trust me to make my own decisions , devon . the show needs to be mine . i need to control the stories , and i need to have a title that makes my position clear . and i want a salary , the type of salary that the other production companies were willing to offer me , because this is about my value and my merit . so , you want me ? that 's what it 's gon na take to keep me . michael : is this okay with you ? honey , is that okay ? gloria staying with us ? gloria : of course it is , because lauren loves me . do n't you , lauren ? lauren : [ chuckles ] nobody is more extraordinary than you , gloria . gloria : thank you . you know me so well . and now that we 're going to be roomies , you 're going to discover more about me . lauren : i 'll bet . i 'll bet , i 'll bet . gloria : [ chuckles ] lauren : honey ? honey . now . michael : you can use fenmore 's room . gloria : excellent . that 's settled . now what are we gon na do about that ? oh , come on . i know you two are as worried as i am about how chloe 's taking advantage of kevin . lauren : we 're very supportive of their relationship . gloria : oh , please . do not say that is so . michael : kevin is very happy to be back together with chloe . they 're good for each other . lauren : that 's right . and he went in with his eyes open . chloe , from moment one , told him that bella was not his daughter . michael : [ chuckles ] it 's kevin 's life , gloria . he gets to decide how he wants to live it . gloria : so when your darling son decides to move in with a crazy woman and her fatherless child , only to get his heart decimated , you tell me how you feel . so never mind about my maternal concerns . never let it be said that this glorious grinch was the one who ruined the night before christmas . lily : i know that hilary is thrilled to have you as her agent and all of those job opportunities . barry : i can line up any number of jobs for hilary -- entertainment , news . she 'd kill on cable . lily : oh , yeah , i agree with you . and i 'm sure she would love to shine on a bigger stage . barry : probably , but marriage is a pretty tricky business , especially if your husband is also your boss . lily : yeah , hilary and i talked about that , how it might benefit her to distance herself from devon . barry : i wish she still felt that way . it seems that your sister - in - law only wanted me to prove a point to her husband , make him see her value . she does n't have plans to make any moves anytime soon . lily : right . it 's smart . um , so she allowed devon to think that she had all these offers , but ... barry : that is the art of negotiation . she seems to love him very much . devon : i never want you to question your worth . hilary : i know that you say that , but ... devon : no , no . no buts . no buts . um , i do n't want to lose you . so i 'm gon na make you a deal . if you agree to come back , the show is yours . completely . and i mean it . the title , money , complete control over every story you tell . hilary : [ sighs ] devon , that 's -- that 's all that i want . devon : with that being said , you know the standards that i want to uphold , okay ? so no more , uh , `` creative editing `` and no more slander , because if you keep going down that road , there will be a lot of people with their lawyers lined up waiting to make sure we do n't have a show anymore . hilary : you have my word . can i kiss you now ? devon : yeah , by all means , please . i know we 've both made mistakes , and i really hope that moving forward we can , uh , do it with a little bit more respect for each other . hilary : we will . we will . we most definitely will . devon : well , welcome back . hilary : [ laughs ] [ doorbell rings ] devon : oh , geez . hilary : well , let 's get this party started , shall we ? devon : no , no . yeah , okay . let 's do it .

[ chuckles ] jack : well , have a nice holiday . i guess i 'll see you at the office next week . phyllis : will you ? jack : what does that mean ? phyllis : well , you 've been trying to oust me from the company for months . i thought maybe giving me a boot just before christmas would give you some sort of joy . jack : you almost look as if you 're disappointed i did n't fire you . phyllis : well , i know it 's coming . i just think maybe i 'm hoping for you to put me out of my misery . jack : and what about your threat to sue me for half my share in the company if i did fire you ? phyllis : oh , jack , you knew that was never gon na happen . jack : what about this new project of yours you seem so excited about , excited about working at jabot again ? you really willing to walk away from that ? phyllis : i am . i am very excited about this new project , and i am not excited about working for jabot . jack : then you did want to get fired . um ... wow . you 're looking elsewhere ? i mean , have you found another position ? phyllis : no . it 's just time . it 's what you wanted . ashley 's gon na be thrilled i 'm gone . jack : you 're really to the point where you 're ready to walk away ? phyllis : you were right . it 's what 's best for both of us . merry christmas , jack . jack : merry christmas .

kevin : look , i need you to accept that i am committed to chloe and bella . i do n't understand why that 's so hard for you . gloria : you do n't even know -- kevin : mom , listen . listen to me . i love that little girl like she 's my own , which means that you would be like a grandmother to her , a very young and beautiful grandmother . gloria : you do n't even know who the father is , kevin . chloe : gloria . you have made your position perfectly clear . and thankfully bella already has a grandmother , and her name is esther . and she is happy to spend christmas with us , so please , kevin , do not waste your breath asking gloria for something she obviously does not want to give . jill : oh , look at that . cane : so ... you do realize that you ca n't stop staring at hilary . lily : i 'm not staring . cane : yes , you are . lily : no , i 'm not . i 'm just wondering what changed . because last time i heard , devon told me that she was n't even speaking to him . cane : well , maybe they made up . lily : yeah , and then some . they 're acting like they 're newlyweds or something . and look , he buys her a penthouse ? cane : lily ashby , you sound like you 're jealous . lily : no , i 'm nauseous , because i 'm hoping there 's an end to it . he has to draw a line somewhere , right ? cane : well , uh , i know you do n't like this woman , but it is her house and it 's christmas , so please do n't make a scene . lily : i 'm not gon na make a scene , but i will never forgive or forget what she has done to our family . cane : and i do n't blame you and understand , okay ? charlie : mom , dad ! cane : hey ! mattie : when are we going to the concert in the park ? cane : you want to go to the park now ? why ? mattie : we found the presents aunt hilary and uncle devon got us . charlie : and there 's one for moses , too . neil : there is . he 'll love that . i 'll be sure to give it to him tomorrow . charlie : can we open them now ? mattie : please ? lily : we said that we would keep the presents under the tree until tomorrow morning , remember ? jill : that 's right . we should always stick to the rules , should n't we ? but there is one little known exception , and that 's when you have a favorite grandma and she brings presents on christmas eve . they 're christmas eve presents , and you can open them on christmas eve . [ laughs ] so run over there and get the bags i showed you . okay . quick like bunnies . sorry . cane : it 's all right . neil : hey , there . i do n't mean to put you on the spot , but , um , just checking in to see if you 're still gon na host our new year 's eve benefit . hilary : yeah , i would never let you and jack down , and i 've been helping with the planning for weeks . why would you think that i would n't be there ? neil : i do n't know , i heard you found yourself an agent . you trying to broaden your career ? hilary : yes , that -- that is true . but the benefit is very important to me , and i would never turn my back on the foundation . neil : that 's good to hear . i 'm real glad that we 're still on your agenda . devon : about that , actually . hey , could i get everyone 's attention ? i , uh , i just want to say thank you all for being here . i really appreciate it . this is definitely the first of many holiday parties we will be throwing for our friends and family . and i have some exciting news to share . hilary will be coming back to the gc buzz as our host , but also as our executive producer , and i 'm very happy about that . neil : wow . that 's wonderful news . cane : well , congratulations , hilary . chloe : i 'm sorry if i made you and everyone uncomfortable , but i refuse to let gloria look down on me and my daughter . bella : [ gibberish ] chocolate . michael : gloria , bella wants to give you this . yay ! gloria : thank you , sweetie . kevin : well , it 's a start . chloe : well , she is being nice to a sweet , little girl . how could she not ? kevin : that is not just any little girl . it 's bella , and she 's irresistible . chloe : you 're right . she is . michael : you did a great job ! look , everybody , come here ! come here ! i think bella has just shown us the true meaning of christmas , and i want to thank you 'cause you 're the best ! -- mwah ! -- the best baby ever ! and i would like -- glasses , everyone . lauren : okay . michael : [ sighs ] i would like to wish a very merry christmas -- ooh ! -- to each and every one of you , and especially you . lauren : aww . michael : mwah . lauren : and you ! kevin : merry christmas . chloe : merry christmas . lauren : merry christmas . michael : merry christmas , darling . chloe : merry christmas , baby ! michael : [ chuckles ] jill : this looks really interesting , but i think we should open it at home . there 's a lot of pieces . cane : it does n't take batteries . jill : it does n't take batteries , which is much more educational . lily : hey . devon : hey . lily : what , uh , happened to you standing your ground , not letting hilary back on the show ? devon : i obviously changed my mind . and i do n't really appreciate you approaching me like this at our party . we talked it through . lily : you mean you were afraid that she would go elsewhere so you gave in . you know she had no intention of leaving gc buzz , right ? devon : she very well could have . she , uh , had plenty of other job offers , and she has a talent agent . lily : oh , yeah , yeah , yeah . her agent is legit . hilary is the one who 's a phony . devon : excuse me ? lily : i hate to tell you this , but all of her `` job offers `` were a ploy . devon : and what do you mean ? lily : she used that agent to manipulate you to get everything that she wanted . devon : lily , stop this , please . lily : i talked to the agent . his name is barry . he told me everything . devon : what exactly did barry tell you ? lily : he told me that he thinks that she has serious potential but that she was n't interested in any job offers . all she wanted to do was make you grovel . devon , i 'm sorry , but she played you again , just like she always does . [ indistinct conversations ] jack : look , i know we do n't always see eye to eye . ashley : thanks . jack : and i know sometimes i , uh , i make it pretty difficult for both of you . but i love you very much . and you have no idea how much it means to me that you 're spending this holiday with me . ashley : we love you , too , jack . traci : i would like to pray before we eat . thank you for the many ways in which we are blessed this christmas eve . for those who are no longer with us , know that you are in our hearts and our memories . for those who simply could n't join us , know that we are thinking of you , and whether we are together or apart , we will always be family . ashley : amen . jack : amen . billy : [ sighs ] [ next_on ] connor : merry christmas . victor : merry christmas to you , young man ! jill : you belong with your kids . billy : i was actually hoping for a christmas miracle . o christmas tree such joy you bring | jill was concerned when she realized billy would be alone for christmas eve , but he insisted that he 'd be fine . barry gave jack a large donation for the abbott - winters foundation . lily tricked barry into telling her that hilary never planned to take a job on another show . hilary and devon came to a deal about gc buzz that they were both happy about . she 'd come back to the show in exchange for full control , an executive producer 's title and a competitive salary . they shared a kiss after their agreement . jill , neil , cane , lily and the twins celebrated christmas eve with devon and hilary at their penthouse . lily was angry when she found out devon rehired hilary . lily told devon what barry said . jack approached phyllis and tried to strike up a chat about her holiday plans . she was distant with him . he was shocked when phyllis said she was ready to leave jabot . ashley , billy and traci had a joyous celebration at the abbott mansion until jack arrived and kicked billy out . billy ended up alone at the athletic club bar , while his siblings had christmas eve dinner at the family home . lauren and michael hid their dismay when gloria announced that she planned to stay in their spare bedroom . gloria unsuccessfully tried to convince lauren and michael to help her break up chloe and kevin . lauren hired phyllis to help her out with fenmore 's . chloe and kevin shared some happy moments with bella . kevin urged gloria to give bella and chloe a chance . gloria was n't interested , and chloe told kevin not to waste his breath asking gloria to do something she did n't want to do . michael engineered a warm interaction between bella and gloria , which gave kevin hope . | <s>[INST] hilary : devon . devon : wow . wow , wow . hilary : i 'm glad you like it . devon : like it ? hilary : well , i just -- i want to make sure that everything is gon na be perfect for our first christmas eve in our brand - new place . devon : you keep calling it our place . it does n't feel like home yet , hon ? hilary : well , it 's gon na take a little getting used to . the move happened so fast . devon : yeah , but our suite at the club always felt temporary to me . this is -- this is real , you know ? it 's permanent . we can start an amazing life here together . hilary : yeah , i hope so . devon : what do you mean , you hope so ? what does that mean ? hilary : devon , you need to accept that i am determined to build a dynamic career for myself , wherever that leads me . devon : okay , but where , uh , where exactly do you plan on having it lead you ? away from me ? away from here ? you gon na go to new york or l.a. ? honey ? are you , by any chance , considering taking one of those new job offers you got ? hilary : hmm , well , what if i am ? devon : what if you are ? you know what i want for christmas this year ? just one thing . i want you to come back to the gc buzz . hilary : oh . well , if that 's true , you 're gon na need to talk to my agent . [ chuckles ] jack : barry , i knew things were going well . this donation is substantial . barry : happy to help . it 's a worthy cause . jack : well , this check will go a long way toward helping our foundation 's new year 's eve celebration be a great success . barry : glad you 're impressed . so , between that check and helping out your friend hilary , i 'm hoping that that favor i owed you has been fully repaid . jack : and you would be right , though i think i did you a favor introducing you to hilary . talented woman , is n't she ? barry : she is . her looks , her style . you know , she could really take off . lily : jack . jack : hey . how are you , lily ? lily : good . i just want to tell you i 'm really excited about the benefit next week . jack : thank you for all you 've done . i know it has been a good bit of help . lily : yeah , well , i felt bad that we could n't host the event here , so my dad kind of guilted me into working for him . but i 'm happy to do it , though . jack : well , we 're happy to have you onboard . lily : yeah , thank you . well , merry christmas . jack : and merry christmas to you , and to cane and the kids . lily : [ chuckles ] thanks . barry : so , you got any plans for the holidays ? jack : oh , uh , playing it pretty low - key this year . gon na be at home with my ... my family . jill : [ sighs ] billy : hey , mom . jill : oh , ho , ho . billy : you 're , uh , leaving it till the last second to get your shopping done , are n't you ? jill : i 'm telling you , i am a woman on a mission . billy : taking on the hordes of people running down the aisles , looking for last - minute gifts ? you 're brave . jill : i will trample and trounce anybody who tries to get in between me and the perfect gift for my grandchildren . billy : [ chuckles ] jill : [ sighs ] by the way , these are all wrapped and ready to go for you to take to katie and johnny . billy : okay , good . it 's gon na have to wait till tomorrow , though . jill : honey , it 's christmas eve . billy : yes , i know , but it 's victoria 's day with the kids . jill : what ? ! billy : look , if i can deal with it , so can you . jill : listen to me . that is the most ridiculous thing i ever heard . neither you nor victoria have a significant other right now , so do the sensible thing and come together for christmas for your children . billy : we are divorced , okay ? we 're doing things separately . jill : i do n't want you to be alone tonight . billy : i 'm fine with it . jill : well , i am most certainly not fine with it . traci : here you go . ashley : thank you . traci : here . uh , what do you think ? maybe we should turn on some christmas carols , huh ? ashley : do you think it 'll help ? traci : got to do something to make it feel like christmas eve around here . ashley : okay . christmas carols , here we come . traci : okay . it seems kind of strange , does n't it ? ashley : hmm ? traci : just the two of us and jack . [ `` jingle bells `` plays ] ashley : yeah , abby 's with the newmans this year . she said that she 'll be here in spirit . does it count ? traci : [ chuckles ] no . ashley : [ laughs ] i know . traci : and what about billy ? ashley : he 's keeping his distance . who can blame him ? every time he reaches out , jack just shuts him down . traci : i can completely sympathize with jack . i mean it . but ... [ sighs ] to push it to the point of forcing brash & sassy out of the jabot building by the end of the year -- i mean , what is the rush ? ashley : well , he says it 's expansion , you know ? he 's making a play for fenmore 's . whatever . traci : well , that 's a calculated business move , but the eviction ? it 's a personal attack on billy , and this is the time of year we should be coming together . ashley : makes me miss dad more than ever . traci : yeah , me , too . dad always taught us that christmas was a time for hope . ashley : yeah . traci : and he always said , `` just because things are bad ... `` [ chuckles ] come on . ashley : [ laughs ] traci : finish it . ashley : just because things are bad does n't mean they wo n't get better in time . traci : because we 're abbotts , and we never give up on our own . [ chuckles ] we miss you , daddy . ashley : we miss you , daddy . hey jingle bells , jingle bells gloria : oh , i wish you could have been here to experience it firsthand , fen . it was dazzling . your grandmother popping out of a box . [ laughs ] best christmas present ever . michael : i told you . all is come , all is bright situation contained . lauren : [ laughs ] yeah . for the moment . that 's because chloe and gloria are on opposite sides of the room . michael : hmm . gloria : [ laughs ] love you , too . i love my grandson . michael : aww . we 're fond of him , too . lauren : yes . gloria : i think i 'm gon na go freshen up , get a second wind . quite a journey from france . lauren : [ chuckles ] you must be exhausted traveling all those miles ... in a box . [ both laugh ] michael : well , listen , let us know when . we 'll get a car service to drop you at the hotel . gloria : hotel ? it 's christmas eve , michael . do n't be silly . i came all this way to be with family . michael : meaning ? gloria : i 'm going to stay with you and lauren for as long as you 'll have me . jill : i wish i had n't made these other plans now . i 'm going over to join the festivities at devon 's new place with cane and lily and the kids . billy : well , have fun . i 'm more than capable of spending that on my own . jill : yeah , but it 's christmas eve . why do n't you come with me ? billy : i need you to understand something , okay ? that 's not where i want to be right now . jill : if you will not go over to victoria 's , there might be something else familial you can do , somewhere else you could go . billy : do n't even ask me to try and figure it out with jack , okay ? jill : oh , please . jack . i would n't even ask you to offer an olive branch to that idiot , the way he 's behaving right now . billy : okay . i like that . jill : and ashley is on jack 's team . billy : okay , mom , listen . jill : but traci -- you could spend the night with traci . billy : mom . jill : traci would never want you to be out in the cold on the holidays . billy : you 're right . it 's the holidays , okay ? so do n't get all worked up . you should be in a good mood . i want to hear your -- your holiday cheer . jill : i am in a good mood . traci is the solution here . billy : both of my sisters already reached out to me , okay ? jill : they did ? billy : [ chuckles ] jill : they did . billy : yes , they did . they did , okay ? ashley is not happy with the way jack is acting , and of course traci , who 's got the biggest heart in the world . jill : so , honey , call them , okay ? go on over there . billy : i 'm not gon na do that , okay ? i 'm not gon na act like my big brother and make them choose sides on christmas . everybody else is all caught between jack and me , and i do n't want to make things harder for them . jack : just thought i 'd say hello . phyllis : hello . surprised to see you here on christmas eve . jack : yeah , i 'm headed home now . how about you ? i assumed you 'd be with summer . phyllis : oh , lucky girl . she is actually in belize with a couple of friends . it was a birthday present from nick and me . jack : lucky girl . then you 're ... phyllis : alone , yes . jack : and later ? phyllis : later i am heading to michael and lauren 's , and i do have plans , jack , even if they are n't with ... even if they 're different this year . jack : hard to believe that was a year ago , the two of us up at the cabin alone before my family surprised us with a visit . phyllis : and now we have moved on . so looking back does n't make any sense , right ? not even at christmas . lily : hi . i did n't get to meet you before . i 'm lily ashby . i 'm the manager of this club , and i saw you come in here before with my sister - in - law , hilary ? barry : that 's right . pleasure to meet you , lily . lily : yeah , you , too . you 're barry , right , her new agent ? barry : i am her agent , but i 'm definitely not new . been doing this for quite some time , which is why you look familiar to me . were n't you a model ? lily : wow . i was a model . [ chuckles ] a long time ago . you do know your business . barry : i try . lily : [ chuckles ] may i sit ? barry : please . absolutely . lily : so , um , i know that hilary is very enthusiastic about where her career could go from here . barry : she 's been talking to you about it ? lily : oh , yeah . yeah , yeah , we chat . we have a lot to say to each other . barry : mm - hmm . lily : so , please . tell me . what are your plans on making my sister - in - law a big star ? hilary : your family is gon na be here any minute , and i do n't want to be in the middle of an argument when they get here . devon : well , i do n't want to be in the middle of the party and have this be unsettled . hilary : it 's settled . devon : sweetheart , i am not going to talk to your agent , okay ? i want to speak to my wife . hilary : see ? that right there , that is the problem . you only see me as your wife , not as an individual who has her own professional goals . devon : that 's not true . hilary : [ scoffs ] i disagreed with you , and what did you do ? you fired me . devon : because we had different visions where the show was concerned . hilary : then why would you even want me back ? devon : because you 're a fantastic host . you light up in front of the camera . the audience responds to you . hilary : and ? go ahead , go ahead . keep -- keep the compliments coming . devon : and i love working with you . hilary : when i agree with you . devon : no . hilary . hilary : yes . devon : this is not about you agreeing with me , okay ? this is about you and me putting out something that we can both be proud of . hilary : i want that , too . i do . devon : then what 's the problem ? hilary : well , i also want a show that people will watch , okay ? devon , what good is all of that hard work if nobody 's gon na see it ? devon : i hear you . we will find middle ground . hilary : if you trust me . devon : you know i trust you . hilary : you have to trust me to make my own decisions , devon . the show needs to be mine . i need to control the stories , and i need to have a title that makes my position clear . and i want a salary , the type of salary that the other production companies were willing to offer me , because this is about my value and my merit . so , you want me ? that 's what it 's gon na take to keep me . michael : is this okay with you ? honey , is that okay ? gloria staying with us ? gloria : of course it is , because lauren loves me . do n't you , lauren ? lauren : [ chuckles ] nobody is more extraordinary than you , gloria . gloria : thank you . you know me so well . and now that we 're going to be roomies , you 're going to discover more about me . lauren : i 'll bet . i 'll bet , i 'll bet . gloria : [ chuckles ] lauren : honey ? honey . now . michael : you can use fenmore 's room . gloria : excellent . that 's settled . now what are we gon na do about that ? oh , come on . i know you two are as worried as i am about how chloe 's taking advantage of kevin . lauren : we 're very supportive of their relationship . gloria : oh , please . do not say that is so . michael : kevin is very happy to be back together with chloe . they 're good for each other . lauren : that 's right . and he went in with his eyes open . chloe , from moment one , told him that bella was not his daughter . michael : [ chuckles ] it 's kevin 's life , gloria . he gets to decide how he wants to live it . gloria : so when your darling son decides to move in with a crazy woman and her fatherless child , only to get his heart decimated , you tell me how you feel . so never mind about my maternal concerns . never let it be said that this glorious grinch was the one who ruined the night before christmas . lily : i know that hilary is thrilled to have you as her agent and all of those job opportunities . barry : i can line up any number of jobs for hilary -- entertainment , news . she 'd kill on cable . lily : oh , yeah , i agree with you . and i 'm sure she would love to shine on a bigger stage . barry : probably , but marriage is a pretty tricky business , especially if your husband is also your boss . lily : yeah , hilary and i talked about that , how it might benefit her to distance herself from devon . barry : i wish she still felt that way . it seems that your sister - in - law only wanted me to prove a point to her husband , make him see her value . she does n't have plans to make any moves anytime soon . lily : right . it 's smart . um , so she allowed devon to think that she had all these offers , but ... barry : that is the art of negotiation . she seems to love him very much . devon : i never want you to question your worth . hilary : i know that you say that , but ... devon : no , no . no buts . no buts . um , i do n't want to lose you . so i 'm gon na make you a deal . if you agree to come back , the show is yours . completely . and i mean it . the title , money , complete control over every story you tell . hilary : [ sighs ] devon , that 's -- that 's all that i want . devon : with that being said , you know the standards that i want to uphold , okay ? so no more , uh , `` creative editing `` and no more slander , because if you keep going down that road , there will be a lot of people with their lawyers lined up waiting to make sure we do n't have a show anymore . hilary : you have my word . can i kiss you now ? devon : yeah , by all means , please . i know we 've both made mistakes , and i really hope that moving forward we can , uh , do it with a little bit more respect for each other . hilary : we will . we will . we most definitely will . devon : well , welcome back . hilary : [ laughs ] [ doorbell rings ] devon : oh , geez . hilary : well , let 's get this party started , shall we ? devon : no , no . yeah , okay . let 's do it . [ sighs ] hilary : [ squeals ] devon : [ chuckles ] who is it ? neil : hey , hey . devon : hey ! hilary : merry christmas , neil ! neil : merry christmas ! santa claus has arrived . devon : how are you , dad ? neil : good , good . well , happy faces . are n't you both in the holiday spirit . hilary : never better . [ chuckles ] jack : well , have a nice holiday . i guess i 'll see you at the office next week . phyllis : will you ? jack : what does that mean ? phyllis : well , you 've been trying to oust me from the company for months . i thought maybe giving me a boot just before christmas would give you some sort of joy . jack : you almost look as if you 're disappointed i did n't fire you . phyllis : well , i know it 's coming . i just think maybe i 'm hoping for you to put me out of my misery . jack : and what about your threat to sue me for half my share in the company if i did fire you ? phyllis : oh , jack , you knew that was never gon na happen . jack : what about this new project of yours you seem so excited about , excited about working at jabot again ? you really willing to walk away from that ? phyllis : i am . i am very excited about this new project , and i am not excited about working for jabot . jack : then you did want to get fired . um ... wow . you 're looking elsewhere ? i mean , have you found another position ? phyllis : no . it 's just time . it 's what you wanted . ashley 's gon na be thrilled i 'm gone . jack : you 're really to the point where you 're ready to walk away ? phyllis : you were right . it 's what 's best for both of us . merry christmas , jack . jack : merry christmas .

[ elevator dings ] rex : kayla , do you have any idea how this happened ? kayla : i 'll have to explain it to you in a minute , all right ? i need to talk to eli . oh , thank you for getting here so quickly . eli : how 's dr . evans ? kayla : well , she pulled through . she 's regained consciousness and , uh , her heart is strong . eli : that 's great . i 'd like to tell you i have a lead on kristen dimera , but i don't . kayla : the reason i called is because i noticed a small pinhole in marlena 's iv line . no hospital personnel would do that . eli : so what happened ? kayla : i 'm guessing that kristen snuck back in here . she saw that the cookies were n't working , so she injected penicillin directly in marlena 's iv . diana : when i said that john being your biological father was good for all of us , i meant that finally ... you will have a relationship with a father you can respect . and now , if you 'll excuse me , i need to take john this sandwich before it gets stale . leo : well , what do you know ? i was gon na check on my dad and his wife , too . we can go to the hospital together . diana : suit yourself . marlena : kristen showed up ? well , that 's impossible . john : i do n't know . i never believe anybody who 's told me a dimera has died in a fire or an explosion . marlena : oh , 'cause they 're always rising from the ashes . john : there you go . marlena : so ... kristen poisoned me ? john : hey . brady : hi . you 're okay . she 's okay . [ overlapping speech ] marlena : i 'm okay . i 'm okay -- oh . brady : sorry . you gave us quite a scare . we -- we thought we lost you , marlena . marlena : oh , no . i would n't go anywhere . not when the people that i love most in the world , my family , are right here . eric : you -- you ca n't be falling for me . sarah : [ laughs ] then why did i kiss you ? eric : how long have you felt that way ? sarah : i do n't know . i mean , that 's kind of hard to figure out . you remember how decimated i was when i found out everything that had happened with rex , and was so grateful for your friendship . and -- and then those feelings kind of got jumbled all together , and then there was something else going on inside me that had nothing to do with rex , which is probably why i was so determined to have sex with you . try to get even with him . eric : yeah , it 's only because he slept with your sister and i 'm his brother . sarah : it was more than that . eric : the important thing is , is that never happened . sarah : rex was so determined to get me back , you know ? and -- and i was not used to him being the insecure one in the relationship , and to be honest with you i kind of enjoyed it . but then that threw me off - balance again , and then i had ... this dream ... that made things very clear . and ... it was about you . eric : okay . sarah : [ laughs ] do n't worry , i 'm not gon na tell you the dream . it 's just the important thing is -- is that after the dream and with rex trying to be the perfect fiancé , honestly , it just -- it made me sad . eric : why ? sarah : because i knew it meant the end of you and me being more than friends . and eric , you are ... the best , and kindest , and the most -- eric : no , no , i 'm not . sarah : yes , you are . you are to me . and i think that we could be really good for each other . so i guess the big question is ... did i wait too long to say all this ? ciara : you keep saying ... that i am better off without you . but i just -- i can not imagine my life without you in it . [ laughs ] you made me trust again . and i 'm pretty sure i made you believe in yourself again . ben : you definitely brought out the best in me . that is for damn sure . i 'm always gon na want to be the guy that you can trust . i just do n't know if i can guarantee that 's the way it 's gon na happen .

[ monitor beeping ] john : there is one way to find out . eric : sarah , i ... i think you are the kindest ... smartest ... most loyal friend ... i 've had in a very long time . sarah : [ laughs ] is that all that i am to you is a friend ? eric : you 'll always be near and dear to me . but yes , right now what i feel is -- is friendship . sarah : well , um ... that -- that 's ... that 's that , i guess . eric : i 'm sorry if i misled you or hurt your feelings . sarah : no , no , no , no , no . no , you -- you 've done neither of those things . i 'm , uh ... i 'm just embarrassed . here i am pouring my heart out to you , especially while you 're worried about your mom . eric : sarah , please do n't be embarrassed . be glad that we talked . you said you loved rex . he 's gon na spend the rest of his life making you happy . he loves you very much . and as far as i 'm concerned ... we never had this talk . and he will never find out about that kiss .

[ elevator dings ] rex : kayla , do you have any idea how this happened ? kayla : i 'll have to explain it to you in a minute , all right ? i need to talk to eli . oh , thank you for getting here so quickly . eli : how 's dr . evans ? kayla : well , she pulled through . she 's regained consciousness and , uh , her heart is strong . eli : that 's great . i 'd like to tell you i have a lead on kristen dimera , but i don't . kayla : the reason i called is because i noticed a small pinhole in marlena 's iv line . no hospital personnel would do that . eli : so what happened ? kayla : i 'm guessing that kristen snuck back in here . she saw that the cookies were n't working , so she injected penicillin directly in marlena 's iv . diana : when i said that john being your biological father was good for all of us , i meant that finally ... you will have a relationship with a father you can respect . and now , if you 'll excuse me , i need to take john this sandwich before it gets stale . leo : well , what do you know ? i was gon na check on my dad and his wife , too . we can go to the hospital together . diana : suit yourself . marlena : kristen showed up ? well , that 's impossible . john : i do n't know . i never believe anybody who 's told me a dimera has died in a fire or an explosion . marlena : oh , 'cause they 're always rising from the ashes . john : there you go . marlena : so ... kristen poisoned me ? john : hey . brady : hi . you 're okay . she 's okay . [ overlapping speech ] marlena : i 'm okay . i 'm okay -- oh . brady : sorry . you gave us quite a scare . we -- we thought we lost you , marlena . marlena : oh , no . i would n't go anywhere . not when the people that i love most in the world , my family , are right here . eric : you -- you ca n't be falling for me . sarah : [ laughs ] then why did i kiss you ? eric : how long have you felt that way ? sarah : i do n't know . i mean , that 's kind of hard to figure out . you remember how decimated i was when i found out everything that had happened with rex , and was so grateful for your friendship . and -- and then those feelings kind of got jumbled all together , and then there was something else going on inside me that had nothing to do with rex , which is probably why i was so determined to have sex with you . try to get even with him . eric : yeah , it 's only because he slept with your sister and i 'm his brother . sarah : it was more than that . eric : the important thing is , is that never happened . sarah : rex was so determined to get me back , you know ? and -- and i was not used to him being the insecure one in the relationship , and to be honest with you i kind of enjoyed it . but then that threw me off - balance again , and then i had ... this dream ... that made things very clear . and ... it was about you . eric : okay . sarah : [ laughs ] do n't worry , i 'm not gon na tell you the dream . it 's just the important thing is -- is that after the dream and with rex trying to be the perfect fiancé , honestly , it just -- it made me sad . eric : why ? sarah : because i knew it meant the end of you and me being more than friends . and eric , you are ... the best , and kindest , and the most -- eric : no , no , i 'm not . sarah : yes , you are . you are to me . and i think that we could be really good for each other . so i guess the big question is ... did i wait too long to say all this ? ciara : you keep saying ... that i am better off without you . but i just -- i can not imagine my life without you in it . [ laughs ] you made me trust again . and i 'm pretty sure i made you believe in yourself again . ben : you definitely brought out the best in me . that is for damn sure . i 'm always gon na want to be the guy that you can trust . i just do n't know if i can guarantee that 's the way it 's gon na happen . [ melancholy music ] ciara : ben ... why ... why wo n't you let me help you ? ben : 'cause you do n't understand . i do n't expect you to . you do n't have voices in your head telling you to do bad things . ciara : [ sighs ] oh , yeah ? i am just as screwed up as you are , ben weston . and you know it . diana : hello . brady : hello . diana : i 'm diana colville . and old friend of your father 's . brady : i know exactly who you are . diana : and you must know my son , leo . brady : sure i do . diana : uh , how 's marlena ? brady : um , well , we -- we had a bit of a scare , actually . but she pulled through , thank god . diana : oh , that 's -- that 's ... that 's just wonderful . i , uh , got your father some food . um , can you tell me where he is ? brady : well , he 's -- he 's with marlena , but i think he 'd prefer not to be disturbed right now . diana : but he really needs to eat something . brady : i 'm going to go to the pub and get him something , because i know exactly what he likes . and you know what , leo ? um , why do n't you go with me ? leo : me ? why ? brady : [ sighs ] because we got off to a rocky start . and we are brothers , after all . i think we should square things out . for our father 's sake . john : the cops are all over it , so if kristen is out there , you know , they 're gon na find her . marlena : mm . you really believe that ? john : i sure am trying . marlena : oh , i know . john : yeah ? hey , detective grant . eli : sorry to bother you . marlena : not at all , come in . eli : i 'm very relieved to see you looking so much better . marlena : oh , thank you , eli . john : so what do you got for us ? anything on kristen ? eli : well , we checked the security footage at the entrance to the hospital . no sign of her . marlena : well , she rarely uses the front door . eli : i guess you know her well . john : well , when it comes to dimeras we 're kind of experts , yeah . eli : tell me about her . marlena : well , she 's a master of disguise . eli : then it 's possible shelly identified the wrong person . [ monitor beeping ] john : there is one way to find out . eric : sarah , i ... i think you are the kindest ... smartest ... most loyal friend ... i 've had in a very long time . sarah : [ laughs ] is that all that i am to you is a friend ? eric : you 'll always be near and dear to me . but yes , right now what i feel is -- is friendship . sarah : well , um ... that -- that 's ... that 's that , i guess . eric : i 'm sorry if i misled you or hurt your feelings . sarah : no , no , no , no , no . no , you -- you 've done neither of those things . i 'm , uh ... i 'm just embarrassed . here i am pouring my heart out to you , especially while you 're worried about your mom . eric : sarah , please do n't be embarrassed . be glad that we talked . you said you loved rex . he 's gon na spend the rest of his life making you happy . he loves you very much . and as far as i 'm concerned ... we never had this talk . and he will never find out about that kiss . [ melancholy music ] rex : clears throat . sorry , am i interrupting ? sarah : [ clears throat ] eric : no . not at all , um ... sarah just came to tell me the good news about mom . rex : yeah , i just spoke with kayla . i was gon na tell you the same thing . and i 've talked to brady , and he said that marlena has two of the best doctors taking care of her . sarah : [ soft laugh ] eric : you 're right . sarah , thank you again for all you 've done . sarah : what are friends for ? rex : you okay ? you just -- you seem really wiped . sarah : yeah , i -- i guess i am . rex : when was the last time you ate something ? sarah : i do n't know . rex : okay , well , we got ta fix that . sarah : [ laughs ] rex : and eric , i -- i really ca n't even begin to tell you how happy i am about your mom . eric : thank you . it 's an enormous relief . rex : you ready ? sarah : mm - hmm . eli : this might take a little time . i have to fingerprint any hospital personnel who might have handled this . john : now you know who you 're looking for . eli : right . all right , well , i 'll be in touch . leo : so , uh ... how do we do this ? get along i mean . brady : i suppose for starters i welcome you to the family , and maybe you say `` thank you , `` and then you start acting like a decent human being . leo : i 'm working on it . brady : i know you are . i know you dropped the charges against sonny and will . that was a good move . leo : so if i prove myself , will you re - hire me at titan ? brady : [ sighs ] you just do n't waste any time , do you ? leo : well , i really loved working there . brady : [ sighs ] i 'll think about it , leo .

eve : well , i -- i ca n't believe how close i came to killing my own daughter . oh , god , i 'm scared , julian . i do n't know how much more of this i can take . antonio : luis , you are a great cop and even a better brother , but i think this search is totally unnecessary . sheridan went away because she 's stressed out , and she 'll come back when she 's ready . luis : well , i 'm not buying it . antonio : yeah , i can see that . luis : i love her , hank . i got this awful feeling that if i do n't find her soon , i 'm never going to see her again . mrs. wallace : angels above , angels above , angels above ! the cops are coming back at daybreak . they 're going to find sheridan in that pit , and we are going to the slammer ! charlie : if you do n't shut up , i 'll duct tape your mouth . now , we got to move her . we got to get her out of this house before morning . beth : no , no , no . that is impossible . someone is going to see us . charlie : not if we roll her inside a carpet . beth : oh , are you kidding ? she 's going to put up too much of a struggle . charlie : not if she 's dead , she won't . whity : y : i still ca n't get over my mother changing her mind tonight . i mean , she was so against my going to california before . chad : she still does n't want you involved in the music business . whitney : i know , but for her to go against my father like that ? she never does that . it 's almost like something happened that turned her around . you know , what if she 's in some kind of trouble ? what if i should stay here and help her and just make sure that everything is ok ? chad : you are really having a problem with leaving , are n't you ? whitney : no , it 's just that if my mother needs me , i think i should be there for her , that 's all . chad : you know , if your mother needed you here , why would she give you her blessing to move all the way across the country with me ? whitney : right , that 's what does n't make any sense . look , i just feel like something bad is happening with my family , something that does n't even have anything to do with me , but -- like that fire tonight at the blue note . fox : yeah . well , i tell you one thing , i 've never seen my father take responsibility for anything ever in his life . whitney : that 's exactly what i 'm talking about . something about this whole thing is n't right . fox : i think i would agree . i think my father was covering for someone , someone who really started the fire . whitney : really ? fox : mm - hmm . whitney : well , who could it be ? julian : eve , you 're not alone . i 'll help you deal with liz and her threats . eve : julian , you have no idea what your standing by me like this means to me . i 'm never going to forget what you did for me tonight , taking the blame for the fire that i set . julian : oh , shh , that 's over and done with . eve : well , i guess i better get back to my patients . simone : i still ca n't believe anyone that age could be preggers . jessica : ofof all people , tabitha lenox . julian : oh , my god , rebecca was right ? jessica : who would want to do it with her ? simone : ew . [ tarzan yell ] julian : oh , oh . this is going right to my head . tabitha : oh , there , there , dear . julian : oh , god . eve : everyone , i 'm going to need you to clear out . i need to examine kay , see how her labor is progressing . kay : dr. russell , please do n't make miguel leave . i feel so much better with him here . eve : honey , it 's just for a few minutes . miguel : i 'll be back , ok ? i promise . kay : ok . kay : oh ! ah ! eve : ok , breathe . breathe , honey . breathe through it . hank : what 's all this ? luis : some stuff from sheridan 's cottage . i had it sent over . i 'm going to go through it with a fine - tooth comb . hank : your brother 's not going to like this . luis : well , he does n't have to know . now , where did he go ? outside ? hank : yeah , he needed some air . luis : like this , for instance -- sheridan 's journal . you know , there could be clues in here we have n't even thought to check out . hank : you 're going to go through sheridan 's diary without her permission ? luis : look , i do n't want to , but if there are clues in here that are going to lead me to her , i got to do it . beth : it 's very risky keeping sheridan alive , but it 's even more risky to kill her . charlie : where is your backbone , girl ? someone 's got to make the difficult decisions . i need a brewski . maybe when i get back from the kitchen , you 'll see the light and realize we have to kill her . mrs. wallace : i know why you do n't want to knock off sheridan . you need her alive until she has her baby so you can pass it off as your own with luis . gee , i just wonder how charlie 's going to feel when she finds out that you want to dump her so you can be with loverboy luis , huh ? beth : you are not going to tell her , mother . mrs. wallace : oh , what 's the difference ? we 're all going to be arrested in the morning anyhow . beth : no . no , we won't . because i know a way to get luis to stop searching for sheridan . for six years , parks canada has been thinking about making much of lake superior into a national marine park . but six years has meant developers bought some areas . americans bought others . can we get it back ? find out . on tonight 's `` global national `` . singer : you are my passion for life julian : tabitha , tell me it 's not true . tabitha : what 's not true ? julian : you 're not -- you ca n't be pregnant . tabitha : oh , but i am , julian . julian : god , that 's preposterous . i mean , you 're too old , for one thing . tabitha : oh , well , thank you very much . you 're not exactly a spring chicken yourself . julian : who 's the father ? lord knows you 've slept around . tabitha : oh , you wound me to the quick . actually , i 've only had relations with one man this past year or so . julian : oh , my god , it 's impossible . we were together only that one time . tabitha : yes , but what a night , julian . do n't you think it 's fitting that we should have a living souvenir of our one passionate night of bliss ? a little baby de -- a dear little baby of our very own . would you like to feel our baby move , julian ? julian : ah ! john : are you having another premonition ? charity : it 's more like a glimpse into what the future could bring . i -- i see miguel moving away from me to kay because of the child that they 'll share . john : i ca n't see miguel leaving you for any reason . i mean , it 's you he loves with all his heart . miguel : john 's right , charity . nobody 's going to take you away from me , not even this baby . kay : why ca n't miguel be with me right now ? he 's the baby 's father . eve : i know , honey . he can come back in a minute as soon as we 're done . this is a very serious situation . kay : which is all the more reason that miguel should be here . miguel ! eve : i said no , kay . grace : hey , i 'm so glad you 're here . sam : where else would i be ? you and r r children mean everything to me . ivy : is n't it just an awful coincidence that each of our grandchildren are in crisis even before they 're born ? let 's just hope that kay and gwen deliver happy , healthy babies . neither one of them deserve to go through this . grace : yes , ivy , i 'm sure you care deeply about kay . luis : look , i do n't like trespassing on sheridan 's personal thoughts , all right ? but i 'm not going to leave one stone in this search unturned . hank : i 'm going to go check on antonio . charlie : so , beth , what 's this new plan of yours ? beth : come here . the only way luis is going to stop searching for sheridan is if he starts to believe that she ran away because she wanted to , not because somebody took her . mrs. wallace : charlie already tried that with that phony email from paris . but you know why it did n't work , do n't you ? because luis loves sheridan , loves her with a capital l . charlie : why would beth care about that ? mrs. wallace : i 'm just saying . beth : no . the reason that luis did n't buy charlie 's idea was that anybody could have sent that email . hello ? luis is a cop . he has to see and hear things with his own eyes , his own ears . see ? i 'm going to make sheridan call him . she 's going to tell luis she is in paris and that she 's just fine -- in her own voice . mrs. wallace : you 're nuts . she is not going to say what you want . no , she 's going to get luis on that line and she is going to scream bloody murder . she 's going to tell him that she has been kidnapped by a psycho clown . beth : no , she wo n't ! sheridan 's going to do and say exactly what i tell her . or else . miguel : hey . charity : hmm ? miguel : after everything we 've been through , how could you think that i would walk away from you for any reason ? charity : kay 's having your baby . miguel : and i 'm going to a good father to my child , but you 're the love of my life . all right ? that 's not going to change . come on , let 's go for a walk . charity : no , what about kay ? miguel : we wo n't go far . kay : well , how bad is it ? eve : well , kay , you 're a strong , young woman . you have a lot of support . you 'll get through this together . kay : what about my baby ? you did n't say anything about my baby . eve : i think that you should think very positive thoughts and -- and pray . prayer can be very comforting . simone : hey , mom ? eve : yeah ? simone : can i sit with kay for a while ? eve : yeah , honey , just make it short , ok ? simone : ok . kay : simone , no offense , but if i 'm going to be allowed company right now , i 'd really rather it be miguel . simone : sorry . he 's not out there , anyway , kay . kay : where would he go ? simone : one guess . she 's got blonde hair . kay : this is so not fair . i mean , i 'm the one who 's having his baby , right ? memean , i could be in childbirth right now . simone : kay , do n't you get it yet ? all your dreams and schemes to get miguel -- it 's all backfired on you . you are going to be an unwed mother , and charity is still going to end up with miguel . kay : you 're wrong . think what you like , but miguel will be with me . you 'll see . gwen : not another word about theresa moving in on ethan if i lose this baby . rebecca : fine . fine . just stick your head in the sand . just pretend it is n't happening , but that girl is waiting in the wings like an overeager understudy , just waiting for you to miscarry so she can take eth b back . ethan : i warned you , rebecca . will you stop badgering my wife about theresa ? the only woman in my life is gwen . theresa : yeah , i mean , it is an interesting theory that someone other than your father set fire to the blue note . but i just -- i ca n't imagine julian caring enough about someone to actually take the blame for them . fox : true enough . i mean , to tell you the truth , my father and the word `` hero `` are n't usually used in the same sentence , are they ? chad : you know , i 'm sure if julian crane is covering for somebody , it 'll come out soon enough . now , do n't we need to get going to the airport or -- whitney : yeah . fox : well , you know what ? actually , we can leave whenever we want . i 've got a surprise . we are taking the crane jet . whitney : oh , my god . theresa : awesome . whitney : i ca n't believe we 're actually flying to los angeles in a private jet . wow . chad : let 's go . whitney : i just -- i just need one more quick second first before we go . chad : ok . whitney : i got to call simone and try to make peace with her before i leave , ok ? chad : all right . [ phone rings ] kay : is that your phone ? simone : darn , i thought i turned it off . excuse me . eve : oh , simone . simone : i know , mom . i 'm trying to turn it off . kay : is miguel back yet ? can he come in now ? eve : in a minute , kay . simone : it 's whitney . who cares ? she 's got nothing to say to me that i want to hear . eve : sweetheart , you may change your mind when you know that she 's leaving for los angeles tonight . simone : since when ? i thought you and dad were going to try to stop her . eve : well , i changed my mind . i gave her my permission . that 's probably her calling from the airport . simone : i do n't believe it . you chose her side over your own husband ? thanks a lot , mom . you know , i do n't even know why you even bother to pretend that you care about anybody else but her ! julian : you pregnant with my child -- that 's a lie . it 's a damnable lie . tabitha : no , i 'm afraid it 's all too true . i am having your baby , julian . tabitha : you 're a cad on top of everything else . tabitha : my , you are precocious , are n't you ? maybe my revenge on the cranes is going to come to pass sooner than i thought . ethan : rebecca , just -- just get out , all right ? and if you wo n't do it voluntarily , i 'll just have building security throw you out . rebecca : how dare you . i am here because i 'm visiting my daughter in the hospital -- ethan : no , no , no , you are torturing your daughter and causing her and our unborn child undue distress . now , i 'll tell you for the last time , gwen is my wife , all right ? and she is carrying my child , and we 're going to be together no matter what . rebecca : ethan , i know why you keep saying it over and over again . you are trying to convince yourself as much as me and gwen . whitney : i was hoping i could talk to simone in person , but -- theresa : at least you able to leave her a message . chad : yeah , the important thing is she 's going to know how you feel . and once we get up to l.a. , you can call her again . whitney : if she takes my phone call . i mean , what if she never forgives me , chad ? chad : do n't think like that . simone is your kid sister , but she 's a big girl . and i 'm sure in time , she 'll come around . whitney : ok , mm - hmm . chad : can you give me a hand with these bags , take them to the car , fox ? fox : yeah . yeah , not a problem . theresa : i 'll help you guys . fox : all right . whitney : i hope they 're right , simone . i just hope that we can work this all out and be close again like we used to be . simone : i do n't know why i 'm surprised you took her side over mine . i mean , you always favored her over me . eve : simone , you know that is not true . am i supposed to let whitney feel estranged , honey , from her entire family ? simone : yes . why not , huh ? why ? she did it to herself when she stabbed me in the back by stealing chad away from me . eve : honey , chad was never your boyfriend . simone : you 're doing it again . you are taking her side of the story over mine . i will never forgive her , not as long as i live . eve : well , i hope you change your mind about that , simone , because life is far too short to turn on your sister . simone : how would you know ? you were lucky . you were an only child . whitney 's voice : simone , itit 's me . i 'm leaving town tonight , and i was just hoping to get a chance talk to you before i left . i want things to be ok between us , the way they used to be . well , you 're not there , so i 'll try to call you again from l.a . i love you , simone . i really , really do . simone : actions speak louder than words , whitney . you should n't have stole my boyfriend . jessica : what 's going on ? simone : i hate my sister . i hate her . jessica : hey , do n't talk like that . you and whitney used to be so close . simone : that was before she stabbed me in the back . jessica : well , i think you ought to get some closure with her before she leaves for l.a . simone : maybe i will go to the airport to see her . jessica : i 'm glad . good luck . simone : i am going to get closure with my sister , all right . i 'm going to kill her . ivy : and your dig about kay earlier , grace -- you 're wrong . i do care about your daughter and her baby , just as i 'm worried about ethan and gwen 's baby . grace : i do n't believe you , ivy . sam : hey , save your energy for kay , all right ? ivy : well , i 'm going to leave the last thing i want to do is cause the two of you any more tension than you 're already feeling . grace : i just -- sam : do n't worry about her , ok ? she 's harmless . david : that 's what she wants you to think , sam . of course , some of us know better . sam : eve , how 's kay ? she going to be all right ? kay : ow ! ow ! sam : are you ok ? kay : oh , dad , where 's miguel ? grace : oh , sweetie -- sam : just calm down , sweetheart . just calm down , ok ? grace : kay , try to breathe . sam : come on , take it easy . kay : i need miguel , please . sam : take it easy . it 's ok . kay : please ! sam : it 's ok . miguel : you feeling better ? charity : much . the walk was just what i -- kay : no ! my baby ! no , please ! no ! charity : miguel , your baby -- kay 's going to lose your baby . luis : what 's so funny ? sheridan : just me writing in my diary like a silly little schoolgirl . luis : let me see . sheridan : no way . luis : let me see . sheridan : no ! luis : yes . sheridan : oh . luis : i do n't think that 's silly at all . that 's going to be your name . sheridan : i still ca n't believe it . the most wonderful man in the whole wide world , and he wants to marry me . luis : i 'm the lucky one . i love you . sheridan : i love you . luis : i 'm going to find you , sheridan . if it 's the last thing i do , i 'm going to find you . charlie : you know , beth , for once , i think your mother 's got a point . mrs. wallace : thank you , charlie . you hand sheridan that phone with luis on the other end of it , and she is going to tell him she was kidnapped . beth : well , that is a risk i will have to take , ok ? beth : get up ! sheridan : who are you ? why are you doing this to me ? beth : shut up and do what i say , or i will kill you ! simone : i wanted to give you something to remember me by ! luis : after what i read in sheridan 's diary , we better make sure that antonio does n't get his hands on it . if he does , he 's going to find out about me and sheridan in the worst possible way . beth : you make the call to luis , or i will kill you and your baby ! | whitney says a tear filled good - bye to theresa . her and fox also agree something was wrong with eve and julian at the fire and she worries about eve . rebecca and gwen have a talk and she tells her to be careful of theresa because she could lose ethan to her . eve comforts an upset eve at the hospital . tabitha 's demon baby has a negative reaction when julian is around . sam catches david and grace together at the hospital and is as upset as charity is while watching miguel and kay together as her condition worsens . charlie wants to kill sheridan when they hear that luis plans to search beth 's basement no matter what . | <s>[INST] tabitha : let 's hear how my little demon baby 's doing .

she never does that . it 's almost like something happened that turned her around . you know , what if she 's in some kind of trouble ? what if i should stay here and help her and just make sure that everything is ok ? chad : you are really having a problem with leaving , are n't you ? whitney : no , it 's just that if my mother needs me , i think i should be there for her , that 's all . chad : you know , if your mother needed you here , why would she give you her blessing to move all the way across the country with me ? whitney : right , that 's what does n't make any sense . look , i just feel like something bad is happening with my family , something that does n't even have anything to do with me , but -- like that fire tonight at the blue note . fox : yeah . well , i tell you one thing , i 've never seen my father take responsibility for anything ever in his life . whitney : that 's exactly what i 'm talking about . something about this whole thing is n't right . fox : i think i would agree . i think my father was covering for someone , someone who really started the fire . whitney : really ? fox : mm - hmm . whitney : well , who could it be ? julian : eve , you 're not alone . i 'll help you deal with liz and her threats . eve : julian , you have no idea what your standing by me like this means to me . i 'm never going to forget what you did for me tonight , taking the blame for the fire that i set . julian : oh , shh , that 's over and done with . eve : well , i guess i better get back to my patients . simone : i still ca n't believe anyone that age could be preggers . jessica : ofof all people , tabitha lenox . julian : oh , my god , rebecca was right ? jessica : who would want to do it with her ? simone : ew . [ tarzan yell ] julian : oh , oh . this is going right to my head . tabitha : oh , there , there , dear . julian : oh , god . eve : everyone , i 'm going to need you to clear out . i need to examine kay , see how her labor is progressing . kay : dr. russell , please do n't make miguel leave . i feel so much better with him here . eve : honey , it 's just for a few minutes . miguel : i 'll be back , ok ? i promise . kay : ok . kay : oh ! ah ! eve : ok , breathe . breathe , honey . breathe through it . hank : what 's all this ? luis : some stuff from sheridan 's cottage . i had it sent over . i 'm going to go through it with a fine - tooth comb . hank : your brother 's not going to like this . luis : well , he does n't have to know . now , where did he go ? outside ? hank : yeah , he needed some air . luis : like this , for instance -- sheridan 's journal . you know , there could be clues in here we have n't even thought to check out . hank : you 're going to go through sheridan 's diary without her permission ? luis : look , i do n't want to , but if there are clues in here that are going to lead me to her , i got to do it . beth : it 's very risky keeping sheridan alive , but it 's even more risky to kill her . charlie : where is your backbone , girl ? someone 's got to make the difficult decisions . i need a brewski . maybe when i get back from the kitchen , you 'll see the light and realize we have to kill her . mrs. wallace : i know why you do n't want to knock off sheridan . you need her alive until she has her baby so you can pass it off as your own with luis . gee , i just wonder how charlie 's going to feel when she finds out that you want to dump her so you can be with loverboy luis , huh ? beth : you are not going to tell her , mother . mrs. wallace : oh , what 's the difference ? we 're all going to be arrested in the morning anyhow . beth : no . no , we won't . because i know a way to get luis to stop searching for sheridan . for six years , parks canada has been thinking about making much of lake superior into a national marine park . but six years has meant developers bought some areas . americans bought others . can we get it back ? find out . on tonight 's `` global national `` . singer : you are my passion for life julian : tabitha , tell me it 's not true . tabitha : what 's not true ? julian : you 're not -- you ca n't be pregnant . tabitha : oh , but i am , julian . julian : god , that 's preposterous . i mean , you 're too old , for one thing . tabitha : oh , well , thank you very much . you 're not exactly a spring chicken yourself . julian : who 's the father ? lord knows you 've slept around . tabitha : oh , you wound me to the quick . actually , i 've only had relations with one man this past year or so . julian : oh , my god , it 's impossible . we were together only that one time . tabitha : yes , but what a night , julian . do n't you think it 's fitting that we should have a living souvenir of our one passionate night of bliss ? a little baby de -- a dear little baby of our very own . would you like to feel our baby move , julian ? julian : ah ! john : are you having another premonition ? charity : it 's more like a glimpse into what the future could bring . i -- i see miguel moving away from me to kay because of the child that they 'll share . john : i ca n't see miguel leaving you for any reason . i mean , it 's you he loves with all his heart . miguel : john 's right , charity . nobody 's going to take you away from me , not even this baby . kay : why ca n't miguel be with me right now ? he 's the baby 's father . eve : i know , honey . he can come back in a minute as soon as we 're done . this is a very serious situation . kay : which is all the more reason that miguel should be here . miguel ! eve : i said no , kay . grace : hey , i 'm so glad you 're here . sam : where else would i be ? you and r r children mean everything to me . ivy : is n't it just an awful coincidence that each of our grandchildren are in crisis even before they 're born ? let 's just hope that kay and gwen deliver happy , healthy babies . neither one of them deserve to go through this . grace : yes , ivy , i 'm sure you care deeply about kay . luis : look , i do n't like trespassing on sheridan 's personal thoughts , all right ? but i 'm not going to leave one stone in this search unturned . hank : i 'm going to go check on antonio . charlie : so , beth , what 's this new plan of yours ? beth : come here . the only way luis is going to stop searching for sheridan is if he starts to believe that she ran away because she wanted to , not because somebody took her . mrs. wallace : charlie already tried that with that phony email from paris . but you know why it did n't work , do n't you ? because luis loves sheridan , loves her with a capital l . charlie : why would beth care about that ? mrs. wallace : i 'm just saying . beth : no . the reason that luis did n't buy charlie 's idea was that anybody could have sent that email . hello ? luis is a cop . he has to see and hear things with his own eyes , his own ears . see ? i 'm going to make sheridan call him . she 's going to tell luis she is in paris and that she 's just fine -- in her own voice . mrs. wallace : you 're nuts . she is not going to say what you want . no , she 's going to get luis on that line and she is going to scream bloody murder . she 's going to tell him that she has been kidnapped by a psycho clown . beth : no , she wo n't ! sheridan 's going to do and say exactly what i tell her . or else . miguel : hey . charity : hmm ? miguel : after everything we 've been through , how could you think that i would walk away from you for any reason ? charity : kay 's having your baby . miguel : and i 'm going to a good father to my child , but you 're the love of my life . all right ? that 's not going to change . come on , let 's go for a walk . charity : no , what about kay ? miguel : we wo n't go far . kay : well , how bad is it ? eve : well , kay , you 're a strong , young woman . you have a lot of support . you 'll get through this together . kay : what about my baby ? you did n't say anything about my baby . eve : i think that you should think very positive thoughts and -- and pray . prayer can be very comforting . simone : hey , mom ? eve : yeah ? simone : can i sit with kay for a while ? eve : yeah , honey , just make it short , ok ? simone : ok . kay : simone , no offense , but if i 'm going to be allowed company right now , i 'd really rather it be miguel . simone : sorry . he 's not out there , anyway , kay . kay : where would he go ? simone : one guess . she 's got blonde hair . kay : this is so not fair . i mean , i 'm the one who 's having his baby , right ? memean , i could be in childbirth right now . simone : kay , do n't you get it yet ? all your dreams and schemes to get miguel -- it 's all backfired on you . you are going to be an unwed mother , and charity is still going to end up with miguel . kay : you 're wrong . think what you like , but miguel will be with me . you 'll see . gwen : not another word about theresa moving in on ethan if i lose this baby . rebecca : fine . fine . just stick your head in the sand . just pretend it is n't happening , but that girl is waiting in the wings like an overeager understudy , just waiting for you to miscarry so she can take eth b back . ethan : i warned you , rebecca . will you stop badgering my wife about theresa ? the only woman in my life is gwen . theresa : yeah , i mean , it is an interesting theory that someone other than your father set fire to the blue note . but i just -- i ca n't imagine julian caring enough about someone to actually take the blame for them . fox : true enough . i mean , to tell you the truth , my father and the word `` hero `` are n't usually used in the same sentence , are they ? chad : you know , i 'm sure if julian crane is covering for somebody , it 'll come out soon enough . now , do n't we need to get going to the airport or -- whitney : yeah . fox : well , you know what ? actually , we can leave whenever we want . i 've got a surprise . we are taking the crane jet . whitney : oh , my god . theresa : awesome . whitney : i ca n't believe we 're actually flying to los angeles in a private jet . wow . chad : let 's go . whitney : i just -- i just need one more quick second first before we go . chad : ok . whitney : i got to call simone and try to make peace with her before i leave , ok ? chad : all right . [ phone rings ] kay : is that your phone ? simone : darn , i thought i turned it off . excuse me . eve : oh , simone . simone : i know , mom . i 'm trying to turn it off . kay : is miguel back yet ? can he come in now ? eve : in a minute , kay . simone : it 's whitney . who cares ? she 's got nothing to say to me that i want to hear . eve : sweetheart , you may change your mind when you know that she 's leaving for los angeles tonight . simone : since when ? i thought you and dad were going to try to stop her . eve : well , i changed my mind . i gave her my permission . that 's probably her calling from the airport . simone : i do n't believe it . you chose her side over your own husband ? thanks a lot , mom . you know , i do n't even know why you even bother to pretend that you care about anybody else but her ! julian : you pregnant with my child -- that 's a lie . it 's a damnable lie . tabitha : no , i 'm afraid it 's all too true . i am having your baby , julian . tabitha : you 're a cad on top of everything else . tabitha : my , you are precocious , are n't you ? maybe my revenge on the cranes is going to come to pass sooner than i thought . ethan : rebecca , just -- just get out , all right ? and if you wo n't do it voluntarily , i 'll just have building security throw you out . rebecca : how dare you . i am here because i 'm visiting my daughter in the hospital -- ethan : no , no , no , you are torturing your daughter and causing her and our unborn child undue distress . now , i 'll tell you for the last time , gwen is my wife , all right ?

chad : do n't think like that . simone is your kid sister , but she 's a big girl . and i 'm sure in time , she 'll come around . whitney : ok , mm - hmm . chad : can you give me a hand with these bags , take them to the car , fox ? fox : yeah . yeah , not a problem . theresa : i 'll help you guys . fox : all right . whitney : i hope they 're right , simone . i just hope that we can work this all out and be close again like we used to be . simone : i do n't know why i 'm surprised you took her side over mine . i mean , you always favored her over me . eve : simone , you know that is not true . am i supposed to let whitney feel estranged , honey , from her entire family ? simone : yes . why not , huh ? why ? she did it to herself when she stabbed me in the back by stealing chad away from me . eve : honey , chad was never your boyfriend . simone : you 're doing it again . you are taking her side of the story over mine . i will never forgive her , not as long as i live . eve : well , i hope you change your mind about that , simone , because life is far too short to turn on your sister . simone : how would you know ?

i have never been a woman who 's known her own limits . my entire life , i 've gone to extremes to protect the people that i love . and people have called me crazy and cruel and vicious . and yes , i 've been all that . i mean , not all the time , but occasionally . and then i got cancer , and i knew i would n't be here forever . i knew that the world would keep on turning without me . but i fought , and i won , and i survived . but i felt damaged . and then one day , henry , you looked at me . you looked at me , and my heart stopped , and my world changed , and i felt desirable . and all of a sudden , i realized it did n't really matter anymore what kind of man i thought was suitable or appropriate , because even though i was cancer - free , none of us knows what 's gon na happen tomorrow . and so i do n't care anymore what people think of me , what they think i should do . my life , my choices . and in return , i have no right to judge anyone else . we all have a certain amount of time on this earth , and i have squandered so much of my own . but whatever time i have left , i want to spend in love with you . your turn . come on . you can do this . henry : uh -- you do n't have a monopoly on crazy , barbara . i think , uh , my family could give your family a run for its money . i 'd like to pass myself as the sane one , but i , uh -- i do n't think it 's legal to lie in front of a judge , so -- i 'll just , uh , say that i try to fake it very well . i 've run a diner and a club and try to be a normal businessman . gave up all my vices , many times . but i , uh -- i like to drink and gamble and make impulsive decisions , like this wedding . this wedding -- when we first got together , i -- i thought i was doing something wrong , something taboo , and it scared me . it really scared me . and the more i got to know you , the more comfortable i became , the happier i became . and it -- it , uh , scared me even more . i scare easily , but that 's not the point . the point is that , um , you -- you showed me that what may be wrong for other people is n't necessarily wrong for me -- or for you . you showed me that i did n't have to be normal or responsible or in recovery . god , i can just be -- i can be henry . i can be indulgent and -- and reckless and overdramatic and , uh -- and a coward . i can be a coward . the more time i spent with you , the more i forgot about being scared . and now when i 'm with you , i , uh -- i 'm not afraid of anything , not even my own nature . do you know how huge that is ? not even my own nature . and do you know why ? because you do n't want to change me , and i do n't want to change you either . and you 're not perfect , and i 'm not perfect , but together , we make some kind of perfect something . i do n't know what the hell it is . and that 's how i know that we 're right for each other . i -- respect your experience , and i admire your beauty , but i am in awe . i am in awe of your courage . and i , uh -- i love you with all my heart and soul . judge frankel : all right , then . by the power vested in me by the state of illinois , i now pronounce you husband and wife . you may kiss the bride . henry : whoo ! [ applause ] paul : this is gon na sound odd , but the weirdest thing happened to me during this ceremony . both : you too ? barbara : he 's gone . henry : yeah . but , uh , just to be sure -- judge frankel -- judge frankel : yeah ? oh , henry , it was a gorgeous ceremony . it 's so clear the two of you are deeply in love with each other . henry : yeah . we -- we -- we are more and more in love with each other every -- every moment . and you did a beautiful job up there . it 's over now , and we really do appreciate it . judge frankel : okay . henry : you can go ahead and leave . i 'll walk you to the door . thank you very much . we really appreciate it . paul : anyone want champagne ? barbara : yes .

i have never been a woman who 's known her own limits . my entire life , i 've gone to extremes to protect the people that i love . and people have called me crazy and cruel and vicious . and yes , i 've been all that . i mean , not all the time , but occasionally . and then i got cancer , and i knew i would n't be here forever . i knew that the world would keep on turning without me . but i fought , and i won , and i survived . but i felt damaged . and then one day , henry , you looked at me . you looked at me , and my heart stopped , and my world changed , and i felt desirable . and all of a sudden , i realized it did n't really matter anymore what kind of man i thought was suitable or appropriate , because even though i was cancer - free , none of us knows what 's gon na happen tomorrow . and so i do n't care anymore what people think of me , what they think i should do . my life , my choices . and in return , i have no right to judge anyone else . we all have a certain amount of time on this earth , and i have squandered so much of my own . but whatever time i have left , i want to spend in love with you . your turn . come on . you can do this . henry : uh -- you do n't have a monopoly on crazy , barbara . i think , uh , my family could give your family a run for its money . i 'd like to pass myself as the sane one , but i , uh -- i do n't think it 's legal to lie in front of a judge , so -- i 'll just , uh , say that i try to fake it very well . i 've run a diner and a club and try to be a normal businessman . gave up all my vices , many times . but i , uh -- i like to drink and gamble and make impulsive decisions , like this wedding . this wedding -- when we first got together , i -- i thought i was doing something wrong , something taboo , and it scared me . it really scared me . and the more i got to know you , the more comfortable i became , the happier i became . and it -- it , uh , scared me even more . i scare easily , but that 's not the point . the point is that , um , you -- you showed me that what may be wrong for other people is n't necessarily wrong for me -- or for you . you showed me that i did n't have to be normal or responsible or in recovery . god , i can just be -- i can be henry . i can be indulgent and -- and reckless and overdramatic and , uh -- and a coward . i can be a coward . the more time i spent with you , the more i forgot about being scared . and now when i 'm with you , i , uh -- i 'm not afraid of anything , not even my own nature . do you know how huge that is ? not even my own nature . and do you know why ? because you do n't want to change me , and i do n't want to change you either . and you 're not perfect , and i 'm not perfect , but together , we make some kind of perfect something . i do n't know what the hell it is . and that 's how i know that we 're right for each other . i -- respect your experience , and i admire your beauty , but i am in awe . i am in awe of your courage . and i , uh -- i love you with all my heart and soul . judge frankel : all right , then . by the power vested in me by the state of illinois , i now pronounce you husband and wife . you may kiss the bride . henry : whoo !

[ beep ] justin : whoa , where 's the fire ? ciara : i 'm sorry , but i have to go find xander . justin : uh , xander 's not up here . he 's at the hospital . little mickey is sick . ciara : what ? justin : yeah , she has a fever . sarah just called to say they 're waiting on some tests . ciara : i 'm so sorry to hear that . maybe now is not a good time for me to go bother him . justin : is there something i can help you with ? is it about titan ? ciara : no . justin : then what ? ciara ? you can trust me . tell me why you need to speak with xander . ciara : it 's about ben . copd makes it hard to breath abigail : chad ! what are you doing home ? i thought you were going to rome . chad : so did i . change of plans . abigail : oh , is it that storm ? i saw a ton of flights got canceled . chad : it was n't the weather . gabi figured out that , uh , i was trying to buy kristen 's shares and oust her from dimera so she sent eli instead . abigail : oh , no . chad : i 'm going to try to get another flight . abigail : babe , i 'm so sorry . so what ended up happening ? did eli get kristen 's shares , or -- chad : i do n't know . we 'll find out soon enough . i just wan na unpack , forget this day happened . abigail : okay . is this what you were taking with you to italy ? such a light packer . chad : no , i did n't pack that bag . gabi did ... when she tried to fire me and evict us . abigail : wait , wait . she ... what ? oh , my god ! oh , that woman ! that bitch ! chad : look , i shut it down pretty quickly , alright ? abigail : god , she -- chad : hey . even if eli can convince kristen to sell her shares , until gabi has them in her hand there 's nothing she can do . abigail : does she know you 're working with your father ? chad : i do n't think so . abigail : well , does he know what happened ? chad : i was trying to keep him in the dark , but ... somehow he found out . which , i do n't know why that would surprise me , because , i mean , after this many years in the family , you know , there 's one thing that i 've learned . you can not keep a secret from stefano romero . steve as stefano : hope . i take it your evening with john did n't go well . hope as gina : in fact , it did not go at all . my plans got derailed when i saw jennifer and abigail on the balcony at the bistro . steve as stefano : tell me you did not stop to talk to them . hope as gina : i stopped to do damage control . those two are getting ever closer to the truth . i must say , steffy , i became quite rattled at one point . abigail seems suspicious of my account of what i had supposedly witnessed that night . and they finally realized that rolf 's flash drive had never been recovered . so now they suspect that he 's somehow involved . steve as stefano : that is concerning . hope as gina : yes , it is . quite concerning . abigail is getting dangerously close to the truth , and piecing the puzzle together . justin : so ... you think xander killed jordan on victor 's orders . ciara : you know , i really should n't even be talking about this . justin : ciara , as i said , you can trust me . i will keep this between us . promise . ciara : yes , please . and justin ... i know this is terrible . i know that . and i never expected my grandfather to do something like this . but he hated that i was seeing ben , and this is how he could get him out of the way . justin : okay . have you told anyone else about this ? your mom ? ciara : no . and you have to promise not to say anything to anyone , okay ? i 've been pretending that i turned my back on ben to try to get my grandfather to let his guard down . i mean , the only reason why i moved into the mansion was so that i could spy on my grandpa and xander . justin : that 's risky . ciara : yeah . it 's risky , but it 's paid off . i heard them whispering about some secret . they said they sent an innocent man to prison . justin : i see . ciara : yeah . but justin , i ca n't keep playing these games anymore , hoping that somehow , some way , my grandfather will slip up . ben does n't have a lot of time left . he 's got one appeal , and his lawyer just quit , so i do n't see any other option than to just confront xander directly . justin : no . no , do n't do that . that would be a very bad idea . sarah : i do n't agree with the hard line that eric is taking either , but if you can just try to understand that he 's just doing what he thinks is best for mickey , and he 's just being protective . xander : being an arrogant jerk . sarah : i know , just ... can you just try to cut him a little bit of slack , please ? okay ? because we are all going through a lot . just , i want you to know how much i appreciate you being here . i 'm going to go to the lab and check on the results now . marlena : there 's no need , i 've got them right here . xander : oh , finally . please tell us . what do the results say ? what 's going on with little mickey ? marlena : actually , i would prefer to discuss it with her parents first . xander : for god 's sake . sarah : xander , please . marlena : is eric with her now ? sarah : he is , but marlena , after we go over the results with eric , would you please tell xander what 's going on ? marlena : of course i will . sarah : thank you . xander : thank you , sarah . eric : mom . do you have the results ? marlena : yes , i do . eric : and ? marlena : i 'm afraid the test results show that she has neuroblastoma . eric : what does that mean ? sarah : it means our daughter has cancer . unpredictable crohn 's symptoms following you ? eric : so mickey has cancer ? neuroblastoma -- what kind of cancer is that ? is that a tumor ? marlena : it is . yes . eric : it can be removed , right ? marlena : i 'm afraid it ca n't , in her case . the cancer has metastasized . sarah : [ sobbing ] oh , my god . marlena : darling , i 'm so sorry . justin : ciara , i know how determined you are to help ben , but confronting xander with your suspicions is not going to accomplish what you want . ciara : and how do you know that ? justin : well , for one thing , xander is a career criminal . he 's never going to confess anything to you . and once he knows you 're gunning for him , all bets are off . and he 's a very dangerous man . do you understand ? ciara : okay , fine . i wo n't confront him . justin : good . ciara : but , you know , i ca n't just sit back and do nothing . okay ? ben is only in this horrible situation because grandpa wanted to keep ben and me apart . hey , do you think that maybe i could get grandpa to confess what he did ? justin : no . never . ciara : okay , well , what about you ? i mean , you guys are close . maybe he would open up to you . justin : i doubt that . but even if he did , i am the head of titan 's legal department , so if victor confessed to me , i would be bound by client - attorney privilege . ciara : damn it . justin : however , there might be another way i can help you . [ dark , heavy chords ] steve as stefano : there you are . hope as gina : thank you , steffy . wait a minute , what has happened ? where 's my vanity ? steffy ? steve as stefano : oh , there was a scratch on it . rolf noticed and had it sent out to be re - finished . hope as gina : oh , how thoughtful . that was terribly kind of him . now , if only he could abigail disappear . steve as stefano : knowing rolf , that could be arranged . hope as gina : you know , i can still hear that little pest buzzing about my ear . she already accused me of lying about that night . can you imagine ? steve as stefano : you did lie . hope as gina : oh , shut up . i know that . but she does not , and she never shall , thanks to a rather shrewd move on my part . abigail : so what do you think ? i mean , it is possible that it could have been rolf , right ? chad : yeah , i mean , the missing flash drive definitely gives him a motive . abigail : yeah , i know . chad : but ? abigail : in hope 's statement , she said she heard my mom scream the second she got off the elevator . and if that is true , then that would have had to mean that hope was there the exact moment my mother was pushed . so how come she did n't see who did it ... right ? i mean , whether it was eve or dr . rolf or somebody else , how would they would ever get past hope ? chad : i do n't know -- ask her . abigail : i did . chad : what did she say ? abigail : that maybe she was n't off the elevator yet . she said that maybe she was still coming up the elevator when she heard my mom scream . chad : well , look , it was over a year ago . let 's just say she 's right . let 's say ... i mean , it would explain why she did n't see anyone because by the time she got off the elevator , then the person would have been on their way down already . abigail : yeah , i know , i -- i just feel like -- i do n't know . i just feel like there 's something different about hope . and ... i just feel like maybe she 's hiding something . i do n't know . chad : what do you think she 'd be hiding ? she loves your mother . abigail : yeah , but i just ... it 's like -- it 's like there 's something different . like she 's acting warm and she 's acting concerned and protective , but there 's these moments where she has this anger , for me looking into this , even . or maybe she 's , i do n't know , guilty of something . i just -- i wish i were imagining this . chad : what do you think ? you think that hope tried to kill your mother ? oh ! oh ! oh ! [ ominous music ] xander : mmm , nice digs ! ben : xander . what are you doing here ? xander : i had a very revealing conversation with my cousin ciara . she made all sorts of horrible accusations against me and my uncle . and i started putting the pieces together , and i realized you 're the one who kidnapped my baby . ben : no . xander : you were trying to make me confess . ben : no , no , it was n't me . it was my father . i had nothing to do with it . xander : i do n't believe that for a second . you know what i do believe ? that you and peepaw orchestrated this whole kidnapping together with ciara 's help . ben : ciara was the one who tried to find your baby for you . she 's the one called in the tip to the police . xander : maybe she had cold feet . does n't really matter now , does it ? she betrayed my family , and that is unacceptable . ben : you stay the hell away from her . xander : oh ... i 'm sorry , that 's too late . before i came over here , i wrapped this around ciara 's neck , pulled it very , very tight , just like i did to your sister . ben : you son of a bitch . you son of a -- xander : do n't fret , benjamin . you and ciara will be reunited soon enough . well , as soon as they execute you . but if you ca n't wait that long , there 's always a shortcut , is n't there ? ben : xander . xander . xander ! kayla : welcome home . justin : ha ha ha ha . kayla : dinner 's almost ready . justin : i thought we were going out . you cooked for me ? kayla : well , yeah , but it 's not going to be a habit . sorry . with my schedule at the hospital , this is a once - in - a - blue - moon thing , but i thought tonight should be special . justin : it already is very special . hope as gina : i must say , in all of the hours i 've spent in that dreadful police station , it finally paid off . steve as stefano : how so ? hope as gina : well , abigail has learned that once a case is closed , reporters are allowed complete access to all of the evidence . so , of course , in the best interests of justice , i agreed to re - open the case . which means that abigail 's access just went up in smoke . steve as stefano : impressive . hope a gail : thank you . steve as stefano : but forgive me for raining on your parade , but do you really think that 's going to stop abigail from pursuing the truth ? abigail : no - no - no , i 'm not -- no , i -- that 's ... no . no , hope would never try to kill my mother or even hurt my mom . that 's not -- you know , i just think that this whole thing with eve and just digging into this is making me lose perspective , and i 'm skeptical of everyone , and i 'm doubting , and -- chad : rolf is a solid lead . how do we explain the security camera footage of eve ? abigail : well , eve says that it was doctored . chad : which your uncle could n't prove in court . abigail : right . but , i mean , if anybody could outsmart a bunch of experts , it 's dr . rolf . i mean , that guy 's a genius . i just -- i wish there was some way for me to prove if the video were real or not . chad : actually , there is . eric : so what happens now ? what do we do next ? marlena : honey , the next thing we do is , uh , we have you take her home . and then tomorrow , i 've arranged for an oncologist to see her and go over all the possible treatments with you . eric : what kind of treatments ? chemo ? radiation ? sarah ? sarah : um ... it -- it 's , uh , it 's probably a combination of chemo and radiation and maybe surgery . eric : okay . marlena : look , i know this is a lot of information to absorb , but i need you not to give up hope . either one of you . she 's got the very best doctors right now . and after treatment , well , there 's a good possibility that she could be just fine . you just have to hang in there . oh , you 've got to hang in there , baby .

i thought you were going to rome . chad : so did i . change of plans . abigail : oh , is it that storm ? i saw a ton of flights got canceled . chad : it was n't the weather . gabi figured out that , uh , i was trying to buy kristen 's shares and oust her from dimera so she sent eli instead . abigail : oh , no . chad : i 'm going to try to get another flight . abigail : babe , i 'm so sorry . so what ended up happening ? did eli get kristen 's shares , or -- chad : i do n't know . we 'll find out soon enough . i just wan na unpack , forget this day happened . abigail : okay . is this what you were taking with you to italy ? such a light packer . chad : no , i did n't pack that bag . gabi did ... when she tried to fire me and evict us . abigail : wait , wait . she ... what ? oh , my god ! oh , that woman ! that bitch ! chad : look , i shut it down pretty quickly , alright ? abigail : god , she -- chad : hey . even if eli can convince kristen to sell her shares , until gabi has them in her hand there 's nothing she can do . abigail : does she know you 're working with your father ? chad : i do n't think so . abigail : well , does he know what happened ? chad : i was trying to keep him in the dark , but ... somehow he found out . which , i do n't know why that would surprise me , because , i mean , after this many years in the family , you know , there 's one thing that i 've learned . you can not keep a secret from stefano romero . steve as stefano : hope . i take it your evening with john did n't go well . hope as gina : in fact , it did not go at all . my plans got derailed when i saw jennifer and abigail on the balcony at the bistro . steve as stefano : tell me you did not stop to talk to them . hope as gina : i stopped to do damage control . those two are getting ever closer to the truth . i must say , steffy , i became quite rattled at one point . abigail seems suspicious of my account of what i had supposedly witnessed that night . and they finally realized that rolf 's flash drive had never been recovered . so now they suspect that he 's somehow involved . steve as stefano : that is concerning . hope as gina : yes , it is . quite concerning . abigail is getting dangerously close to the truth , and piecing the puzzle together . justin : so ... you think xander killed jordan on victor 's orders . ciara : you know , i really should n't even be talking about this . justin : ciara , as i said , you can trust me . i will keep this between us . promise . ciara : yes , please . and justin ... i know this is terrible . i know that . and i never expected my grandfather to do something like this . but he hated that i was seeing ben , and this is how he could get him out of the way . justin : okay . have you told anyone else about this ? your mom ? ciara : no . and you have to promise not to say anything to anyone , okay ? i 've been pretending that i turned my back on ben to try to get my grandfather to let his guard down . i mean , the only reason why i moved into the mansion was so that i could spy on my grandpa and xander . justin : that 's risky . ciara : yeah . it 's risky , but it 's paid off . i heard them whispering about some secret . they said they sent an innocent man to prison . justin : i see . ciara : yeah . but justin , i ca n't keep playing these games anymore , hoping that somehow , some way , my grandfather will slip up . ben does n't have a lot of time left . he 's got one appeal , and his lawyer just quit , so i do n't see any other option than to just confront xander directly . justin : no . no , do n't do that . that would be a very bad idea . sarah : i do n't agree with the hard line that eric is taking either , but if you can just try to understand that he 's just doing what he thinks is best for mickey , and he 's just being protective . xander : being an arrogant jerk . sarah : i know , just ... can you just try to cut him a little bit of slack , please ? okay ? because we are all going through a lot . just , i want you to know how much i appreciate you being here . i 'm going to go to the lab and check on the results now . marlena : there 's no need , i 've got them right here . xander : oh , finally . please tell us . what do the results say ? what 's going on with little mickey ? marlena : actually , i would prefer to discuss it with her parents first . xander : for god 's sake . sarah : xander , please . marlena : is eric with her now ? sarah : he is , but marlena , after we go over the results with eric , would you please tell xander what 's going on ? marlena : of course i will . sarah : thank you . xander : thank you , sarah . eric : mom . do you have the results ? marlena : yes , i do . eric : and ? marlena : i 'm afraid the test results show that she has neuroblastoma . eric : what does that mean ? sarah : it means our daughter has cancer . unpredictable crohn 's symptoms following you ? eric : so mickey has cancer ? neuroblastoma -- what kind of cancer is that ? is that a tumor ? marlena : it is . yes . eric : it can be removed , right ? marlena : i 'm afraid it ca n't , in her case . the cancer has metastasized . sarah : [ sobbing ] oh , my god . marlena : darling , i 'm so sorry . justin : ciara , i know how determined you are to help ben , but confronting xander with your suspicions is not going to accomplish what you want . ciara : and how do you know that ? justin : well , for one thing , xander is a career criminal . he 's never going to confess anything to you . and once he knows you 're gunning for him , all bets are off . and he 's a very dangerous man . do you understand ? ciara : okay , fine . i wo n't confront him . justin : good . ciara : but , you know , i ca n't just sit back and do nothing . okay ? ben is only in this horrible situation because grandpa wanted to keep ben and me apart . hey , do you think that maybe i could get grandpa to confess what he did ? justin : no . never . ciara : okay , well , what about you ? i mean , you guys are close . maybe he would open up to you . justin : i doubt that . but even if he did , i am the head of titan 's legal department , so if victor confessed to me , i would be bound by client - attorney privilege . ciara : damn it . justin : however , there might be another way i can help you . [ dark , heavy chords ] steve as stefano : there you are . hope as gina : thank you , steffy . wait a minute , what has happened ? where 's my vanity ? steffy ? steve as stefano : oh , there was a scratch on it . rolf noticed and had it sent out to be re - finished . hope as gina : oh , how thoughtful . that was terribly kind of him . now , if only he could abigail disappear . steve as stefano : knowing rolf , that could be arranged . hope as gina : you know , i can still hear that little pest buzzing about my ear . she already accused me of lying about that night . can you imagine ? steve as stefano : you did lie . hope as gina : oh , shut up . i know that . but she does not , and she never shall , thanks to a rather shrewd move on my part . abigail : so what do you think ? i mean , it is possible that it could have been rolf , right ? chad : yeah , i mean , the missing flash drive definitely gives him a motive . abigail : yeah , i know . chad : but ? abigail : in hope 's statement , she said she heard my mom scream the second she got off the elevator . and if that is true , then that would have had to mean that hope was there the exact moment my mother was pushed . so how come she did n't see who did it ... right ? i mean , whether it was eve or dr . rolf or somebody else , how would they would ever get past hope ? chad : i do n't know -- ask her . abigail : i did . chad : what did she say ? abigail : that maybe she was n't off the elevator yet . she said that maybe she was still coming up the elevator when she heard my mom scream . chad : well , look , it was over a year ago . let 's just say she 's right . let 's say ... i mean , it would explain why she did n't see anyone because by the time she got off the elevator , then the person would have been on their way down already . abigail : yeah , i know , i -- i just feel like -- i do n't know . i just feel like there 's something different about hope . and ... i just feel like maybe she 's hiding something . i do n't know . chad : what do you think she 'd be hiding ? she loves your mother . abigail : yeah , but i just ... it 's like -- it 's like there 's something different . like she 's acting warm and she 's acting concerned and protective , but there 's these moments where she has this anger , for me looking into this , even . or maybe she 's , i do n't know , guilty of something . i just -- i wish i were imagining this . chad : what do you think ? you think that hope tried to kill your mother ? oh ! oh ! oh ! [ ominous music ] xander : mmm , nice digs ! ben : xander . what are you doing here ? xander : i had a very revealing conversation with my cousin ciara . she made all sorts of horrible accusations against me and my uncle . and i started putting the pieces together , and i realized you 're the one who kidnapped my baby . ben : no . xander : you were trying to make me confess . ben : no , no , it was n't me . it was my father . i had nothing to do with it . xander : i do n't believe that for a second . you know what i do believe ? that you and peepaw orchestrated this whole kidnapping together with ciara 's help . ben : ciara was the one who tried to find your baby for you . she 's the one called in the tip to the police . xander : maybe she had cold feet . does n't really matter now , does it ? she betrayed my family , and that is unacceptable . ben : you stay the hell away from her . xander : oh ... i 'm sorry , that 's too late . before i came over here , i wrapped this around ciara 's neck , pulled it very , very tight , just like i did to your sister . ben : you son of a bitch . you son of a -- xander : do n't fret , benjamin . you and ciara will be reunited soon enough . well , as soon as they execute you . but if you ca n't wait that long , there 's always a shortcut , is n't there ? ben : xander . xander . xander ! kayla : welcome home . justin : ha ha ha ha . kayla : dinner 's almost ready . justin : i thought we were going out . you cooked for me ? kayla : well , yeah , but it 's not going to be a habit . sorry . with my schedule at the hospital , this is a once - in - a - blue - moon thing , but i thought tonight should be special . justin : it already is very special . hope as gina : i must say , in all of the hours i 've spent in that dreadful police station , it finally paid off . steve as stefano : how so ? hope as gina : well , abigail has learned that once a case is closed , reporters are allowed complete access to all of the evidence . so , of course , in the best interests of justice , i agreed to re - open the case . which means that abigail 's access just went up in smoke . steve as stefano : impressive . hope a gail : thank you . steve as stefano : but forgive me for raining on your parade , but do you really think that 's going to stop abigail from pursuing the truth ? abigail : no - no - no , i 'm not -- no , i -- that 's ... no . no , hope would never try to kill my mother or even hurt my mom . that 's not -- you know , i just think that this whole thing with eve and just digging into this is making me lose perspective , and i 'm skeptical of everyone , and i 'm doubting , and -- chad : rolf is a solid lead . how do we explain the security camera footage of eve ? abigail : well , eve says that it was doctored . chad : which your uncle could n't prove in court . abigail : right . but , i mean , if anybody could outsmart a bunch of experts , it 's dr . rolf . i mean , that guy 's a genius . i just -- i wish there was some way for me to prove if the video were real or not . chad : actually , there is . eric : so what happens now ? what do we do next ? marlena : honey , the next thing we do is , uh , we have you take her home . and then tomorrow , i 've arranged for an oncologist to see her and go over all the possible treatments with you . eric : what kind of treatments ? chemo ? radiation ? sarah ? sarah : um ... it -- it 's , uh , it 's probably a combination of chemo and radiation and maybe surgery . eric : okay . marlena : look , i know this is a lot of information to absorb , but i need you not to give up hope . either one of you . she 's got the very best doctors right now . and after treatment , well , there 's a good possibility that she could be just fine . you just have to hang in there . oh , you 've got to hang in there , baby .
